THE YELLOW PERIL

Field Marshal Sir Douglas llaig has given warning to West
ern civilization to beware the yellow peril, He does not discount
~ lie sees with the alert percipency of the soldier. Should
the yellow men of the East awake and unite, the sun would go
down on Christianity and Western civilization, The danger lies
IN the superiority in numbers, The East is a spawning ground
for human beings, No wonder the early Bible writer's were
betrayed into eSraVagances, such as armies or muttudcs "as
numerous as the sands Of the %seashore." 1t the yellow races
would unite and become warike there are enough of them to
oyerrun the West, armed only with sticks. Machine guns would
NOV down these hordes Other hordes would take their places
When the Great Tartar made war on China he had an army of
100000, How he fed them is a mystery, There we're no rail
roads OF motor trucks; in fact, there was not a wheeled vehicle
in all Of far Cathay,
Each soldier must have been given a pair of chop sticks and
a shirttail full OF rice to ration him. and these people can live
on the same food at the present time, How armies in the early
ages were fed has always been a puzzle to modern commissarats
For one thing they ate less and suhssted on simple food, With
modern convenienees for handling food and supplies an army of
100000 fighting men could be fed easier than the 100000
OF which Rojardo tells in his "Orando lnnamorato" English
men are not sensations mongers at any time, and when a proven
soldier like Marshal llag raises his voice in warning he should
be given attention, The proposed union OF the English speaking
peoples cannot come too soon, 1t may be necessary to 60 farther
and unite the white races in order to meet the yellow peril.
Anyone who will take a globe, such as is in use in any
school, and stick a white pin where populations are white and
d black pin where populations are coored, will find that he will
need comparatively few white pins and a large number OF black
pins, Soeiologists have long taught that the real world war,
the real Armaeeddon, would come in a clash between the white
and colored races. Local or sporadic race riots are premonitory
bubbles coming to the surface to show the fermentation that is
going on below, We need not tear Japan or China, and England
need not fear India. 1t trouble comes il will involve humanity,
and the centuries-old dominion of the white races may end,

INvALIDITY OF CONTRACTS

At the direction OF the most efficient lobby ever maintained
at Nashville the public service corporations of Tennessee secured
at the hands of the legislature an act creating a public utilities
commission, and conferred upon il the right to abrogate existing
contracts between the corporations and the people the right to
fix fares, rates and quality OF service,
Under the provisions Of this act the Memphis street railway
has induced tive OF the three members OF the utilities commission
10 ahrogate a solemn agreement and contract entered into
between the company and the citizens of Memphis,
The attorney. general of the state has invited counsel for the
street car company TO appear before the supreme court. and on
behalf OF the state of Tennessee argue IN favor OF the eonsttu-
tonality OF the act,
The attorney general needs a strong advocate TO Justify the
legality Of an act giving the corporations the right to violate
their contracts when persons and business concerns in their pi-
vate capacity are being penal1ed every day tor doing the things
that the attorney general is seeking to Justify the public service
corporations i'll doing.
There are a Jew things that need to be stated briefly and
Sueeinetly tor future guidance,
The street ear company has broken a contract with the peo,
pe Of Memphis and is now collecting additional fares amounting
10 something like $Soon a year more than the company agreed
10 charge when it was given the right to occupy the streets Of
Memphis
The right to collect this fare Is based upon the need Of add
tonal funds with which to pay dividends upon stock issued by
the company 70 itself
The street car company Is going 10 be held to the principle
OF the right to collect fares based upon what il has a legitimate
right to earn
At some future date there will be in office at the city hall
a government which will SO TO the bottom OF this matter and
ascertain what actual money was Invested IN the construction
and equipment OF the street car company.
AT some future date there Will be in office at the state
capitol a public utilities commission which will rule that the
people Of Memphis shall be required to pay dividends only on
what money is actually invested in the street railway system,
Ii such a commission should be elected it will order that i
