RACE WAR PERlLs

IL seems characteristic that som,
or us see glooms in fair weather q,
toul. Life Is robbed of many OF IL.
JOYS by magnifylng the troubles W.
have and hunting for those we hav,
not. These reflections are suggested
by the reference OF contemporar,
TO Sir Douglas Haig's warning of the
lmminence OF the yellow peril In
the course Of Its discussion It in
dulges the blood -curdlIng remark
that should the yellow men of the
east awake and unite, the sun would
go down on Christianity and western
civilization" Which may be said to
be alarming or ridiculous, according
to your temperament and viewpoint.
II Is even sought to interpret the
battle of Armageddon as a final clash
between the white and colored races.
All OF which is urged as a reason
Tor the union Of the white peoples
for defense in the impending strife.
With this we are treated to a re-
view OF some of the wars of an
tiquity. and are told that when the
Tartars made war on China they
used an army OF 100000 men. Some
curiosity Is expressed as to the pro-
visioning OF such an army, but no
hint dropped that the number may
have been considerably enlarged by
the writer's of later times. The concur
sion is reached that focal or spo-
radio race riots are premonitory bub-
bles coming to the surface to show
the fermentation going on below"
but we are comforted with assurance
that we need fear neither Japan nor
China, and that England need not
fear India. 1t is the concert of all
the colored races that is to be dread
ed for, 'if trouble comes It win in
volve humanity, and the centuries
old dominion Of the white races may
end" MA
And, of course, all these things are
possible. Nearly anything is posi-
bic. But they don't appear very
probable. There has never been
noted much of tendency toward
union of the peoples of any one par
ticular race, much less the union of
several races against one. 1t seems
hat 1t would require deep and last
ing grievance to bring about such
situation, What burning issue would
bring about AN inter-race world war?
What common ambitions, for in
stance, have the yellow and black
faces? Doesn't Japan spurn the sug-
gestion OF being classified with lower
aces? A good understanding among
he various branches of a race, even |
lmong all races, is extremely desir-
Ible, but their union into competitive /
alliances is OF doubtful practicable
ty or propriety. Speaking for this
country, 1t would seem the better |
'olicy to so conduct our relations |
With other peoples and races that |
lobody would want to exterminate !
is even if it were possible.
II is easy to find something to !
light over when we are in the spirit,
tut just now it seems that the world |
las had enough of war to satiate its
appetite for a while. Let's study
bout something else than wars.

THE CHICkASAW NATION.

| Judge James II. Malone, former
mayor of Memphis, Tenn, has writ
ten an interesting and instructive
book Of IT'S pages under the above
title. The immediate occasion for
the publication was the celebration
of the centenary May 1924, 1919, Of
the founding of the city of Memphis.
There has been a controversy of long
standing as to the place where Her.
nardo De Soto discovered the Mis-
sissippi river in 1871, some contend
| ing for a point now in Tunica county,
Mississippi and others on the fourth
Chickasaw Bluffs. As was to have
been expected from a man of Judge
Malone's recognized ability, the cyl
dence bearing on the subject has
been thoroughly examined and col
lected after years of painstaking re-
search and careful analysis, and his
discussion shows an earnest desire
to arrive at the truth. Much time
has been spent by the author in ex-
ploring the old Indian trails and
studying the typography of the route
along which De Soto Travelled.
a lawyers brief 1t is written in a
most attractive style and bears evil
dence of a thorough research of In
dian history. The Chickasaw nation
possessed many noble traits of char
acter, the chastity of their women
and the courage and patriotism of
their men being most noteworthy
There is an element of romance as
well as sentiment of pathos con-
nected with the history of the Chick
asaws. Another noteworthy fact Is
that their government was thorough
ly democratic. public opinion having
the weight of law.
Judge Malone says that he has In
contemplation writing a complete
history of the Chickasaw nation. II
is TO be hoped that he will do So
Many valuable lessons in morals and !
may be inculcated by /
reading such history adequately ,
and veraciously written. This vol
ume is splendid contribution to the /
history Of Memphis and should and I
doubtless will forever settle the con-
troversy as TO the place where the I
Spanish hero first looked upon the
Father of Waters.
Judge Malone is a brother of Ten
nessees most gifted poet, the late
Walter Malone, whose greatest poem
Is entitled fernando De Soto. and /
the volume just published will prove
to be a worthy prose companion
piece to the great poem of his dis
iinguished brother. Memphis took
4 just pride in honoring Walter Ma
one during life as she has Judge Il
lanes H. Malone. and during the h
centenary unveiled a worthy statue I

Spectator of an American officer who

him into arguments, but found to
mis- surprise that his auditors were.
much more delighted than distressed

This officer learned that his Brit

sof their hereditary rights and never
snekitated to exercise 1t, and just as
readily against their own home insti-
tl1fions as against those OF other
countries and peoples. He found
that the average Englishman is the
greatest individuaiist in the world,
and the fairest in the consideration
sof the rights of others. The Eng
