BUSINESS IS PICKING up

Business is picking up. The wool
en- trade is more active. Cotton goods
are being more freely ordered from
manufacturers. The garment indus-
try shows some signs Of returning
life. Shoemanufacturers declare they
have seen the worst. Rubber compa-
nies are more optimistic as they find
that unconsumed stocks are lighter
than formerly estimated. Several
automobile plants are re-engaging
large numbers of workers. Copper
men are lately less pessimistic. Eu-
rope has been buying wheat. The
electrical industry is becoming quite
busy. Hat manufacturers are taking
back some of their people. Bankers
are untightening the monetary
screws. Investments have been pay
ing better. The principal foreign ex-
changes have exhibited distinct
strength. Powerful interests are con-
tracing for future deliveries Of ma
terfals and merchandise at the read.

Bills Prayer

I've noticed when a fellow dies, no
matter what he's BEEN
A sanity chap or.one whose life was
deeply stepped in sim
His friends forget the bitter words
they spoke but yesterday,
And find a multitude OF pretty
things to say.
I fancy when go to rest someone
will bring to light
Some kindly word or goodly act
long buried out Of sight.
But Tits all the same to you, just
give to me instead
The bouquets while Pm living and
the knocking when I'm dead.
Don't save your kisses to imprint
upon my marble brow,
While countless maledictions are
hurled upon me now.
Say just one kindly word to me
while mourn here alone,
And don't save all your eulogies to
carve upon a stone.
What do care II when Pm dead the
ast Harris "Speed" Gazette
Gives me a write-up with a cut, in
mourning borders set.
1t will not fiatter me a bit, no mat
ter what is said.
So kindly throw yoursbouquets now
and knock me when I'm dead.
It may be fine when one is dead to
have the folks talk so,
To have the flowers come in loads
from those you know.
1t may be nice to have these things
from folks you leave behind,
But iustEo far as I'm concerned,
really do not mind.
I'm quite alive and well today, and
while linger here,
Lend me a helping hand at times,
give me a word OF cheer;
Just change tle game little bit,
Just kindly sweep the decks,
For III be no Judge Of flowers when
I've cashed in my checks.

NEGROES and JAPS
IN PORTLAND
LAMAR RAY, FORMER EDITOR, MAKES RACE
OBSERVATIONS.

One year In Portland mas NOT OD-
Nliterated the pleasant memories nor
the ties that bind us to the South
land, yet we have become welded to
1the Northwest and do not believe
! there is more inviting section OF
sthe Union. We now know how to
@appreciate the position OF the Demo-
{ crat reader In Texas who often kick
ed because his paper went astray.
Z Truly 1t is much fuller OF interesting
items to the one far away than to
the local reader and there is howl
Y from all members OF the family when
=. a copy goes astray, which is not of
ten.
We have found the winters here
milder than South, only about five
5Blays so far when the mercury went
.below freezing and % above was the
. lowest. A white frost the middle OF
tJan. killed the last OF the roses, the
grass remains green and needs NOW.
ing on some lawns. The summers
sBeem almost as the winters and very
8eldom does the thermometer ever
4 go as high as so.
q. The diversity OF crops and indHs-
tries here has prevented to a great
extent the business depression that
|. ia hurting the southern and middle
western farmer just at this time. SO
long as one depends too much on
4 cotton and the other on grain just
SO long will they be subjected to the
h fruits of financial depression. This
B business upheaval has taught the
negro where his best section is and
hany who can do so are drifting
back TO the South. There are very
few negroes here who live In the
cheaper sections with the whites and
whose children go to the public
chools. There is equality In a few
espects but there is nothing border
ington social equality. They areeos-
Mracised in every way, you never see
III white person speak to them on the
Fears or in any public place. They
have their own churches and socie-
| ties as In the South. To us they look
like strangers in a strange land.
tsThey do not have that carefree way
OF the southern darkY but seem
more like some one out OF place.
Ehe percentage of crime among
hem IL about the same as In the
South.
The real race question here Is the
Japanese question. 1t is amusing to
southerner to observe the actions
and read the arguments against the
kJapanese and these same papers con-
demn the South for their position
on the negro question. There are
but q few thousand in this state and
believe If there were as many as
Rapegroes South there would be race
war continuously. do not say 1t
here and 1 may not have been here
y long enough and do not thoroughly
/ understand the situation, but to us
1t looks more like jealousy enters too
much into this Japanese race ques-
tion. They make the best formers tn
.the state and are perfect little bum
i BILE OF energy and shrift. They live
too much like an Indian and their
lack OF pride in their homes seem to
be their biggest liability.
There are quite few Chinese. In
q the city. They are quiet and HARM
ssss and you would not know they
kere here II you did not go into
their section which we have done for
she sake of curiosity.
4 iThe question OF race is not Sec
q onal, but Is conditional.

Moonshine Madness.

Up in northern Mississippi,
Up among the pine clad hills,
In the land of rolling corn fields.
And OF bubbling copper stills;
Concealed upon the hillside,
In the shadows of the pine,
There the kettles are a-boiling,
And distilling white moOnshine.
And the used corn mash is emptied
Into the placid streams thar flow
Down the rolling hillsides,
To the verdant fields below.
Now this stream had its beginning
In placid flowing spring,
But after passing by the still,
It began to laugh and sing;
It sparkled and it rippled,
And its gurgling voice was shrill,
And its course was most erratics
As it flowed on down the hill.
Oh! there was moonshine in the
waters,
AS the brook began to flow,
Down to,the thirsty birds and beastie
In the valleys green below.
y
The tadpole in the waters,
In the quite pool near the bank,
Became all puffed and bloated,
AS bis belly full he drank;
He puffed his stomach outward,
And began to chase his tail,
Cried "Getout OF the way, Old Fishes
For I'm gonna whip whale.n
The bullfrog who was soaking,
Near water-logged tree trunk,
Eegan to croak and below,
sob, I'm drunk, drunk, drunk!"
A rabbit drank from the joyous
stream,
And turned backward spring,
Cooked his ears to forty degrees,
And began to dance and sing.
A drunken snake took an awkward
lunse
At the dancing jack and missed,
Brer Rabbit said he was ''snake bite
proof"
SO the two made up aud kissed.
The jay bird sat oD swinging limb,
And shrieked in drunken glee,
The squirrel chunked hickory nut
And knocked him out of the tree.
The hawk dropped down to the rip
pling stream,
And drank beside the dove, m
The two touched bills and each one
swore
To pacs Of Brotherly Love.
The cow that drank began to Jig,
And cavort in catfish way,
And she turned upon the lOrdly bull,
And chased him clear away. @ Fl
The flowers that grew beside the
stream
+ Held smiling faces up,
The modest violet swayed It's head
And winked at the butter-cup.
Oh. the birds and beasts held Carnival
Beside that joyous scream, IS
/ saw these things with my own eyes
So it Is no fevered dream.
I've drunk my fillfrom out hestreann
That flows down from the hills,
So now I sing OF my native State,
And its bu6biing copper stills,
And may this song of praise resound
AS here sit and joyously sing, ss
AS the world goes round and round.
Oil zsus, upon Olympus.
j do not envy you,
desire not your ambrosia,
While I have my mountain dew
For my Mississippi moonshine,
The gift the corn has sent
Makes your far famed ambrosia
Taste like half Of one per cent.
There is no drink In all the world
10 compare with this stuff divine,
oh, Zeus, come and have drink
i. OF old Mississippi moonshine.
