Slavery Was Not Profitable in the
Frigid North.

New England sold her slaves to the
South. In three years, 1904 to 1907,
20,72S negroes by British and French,
and 1S046 by Americans. Slavery
did not pay in the cold climate of the
north, and did pay in the South. To
show how it was regarded during the
Revolution, and for long time af-
forwards, Washington commanded
the Revolutionary armies, and was
the first president of the United
States. He, jefferson, Madison, Mon

all shareholders and filled the pres
idental chair about fifty years.
But, as stated, for forty years there
was fierce agitation as to slavery

women who believed slavery was
wrong all during the time it existed
and the sentiment of the world grad.

BOOST LLOYD FOR
RENT BOARD SEAT
Former Congressman From
Missouri May Succeed Guy
Mason, Who Has Resigned.

Former Congressman James T.
Lloyd of Missouri was today promi-
nently mentioned to succeed Guy
Mason. whose resignation as a men,
Der OF the District Rent Commission
has been accepted by the President.
1t has been generally known that
friends of Mr.. Lloyd were strongly
supporting him as one OF the original
members OF the commission. Mr..
Lloyd has made Washington his
permanent residence. He is a rec
tor of the Chamber OF Commerce, and
has been actively identified with local
'ivic affairs.
other names heard as possibilities
for the office are Attorney william
T. Browning, Edwin S. Hege and
Julius 1. Peyser. Both Mr.. Hege and
Mr.. Peyser are declared to be well
fitted for the commissic nership be-
'ause of their work with the Gov
'"~Tlent Housing Bureau during the
war.
Reports that Mr. Mason resigned
because OF friction among his COL
eagues were declared groundless to-
lay. 1t was stated that relations
among the comm ssioners had been
most congenial at all times. The sole
reason accepted for his resie ma tion
Is that he was unable to properly
carry on his legal business with the
luties involved as rent commissioner.
