The World by Color.

If we speak by continents, the
really white world consists Of Europe,
North America to the Rio Grande, the
southern portion Of South America.
the Siberian part Of Asia, and Aus
tralasia, the last two, Of course, being
very thinIy inhabited. On the other
hand, the world of color consists of
the bulk of Asia, virtually the whole
Of Africa, and most Of Central and
South America. The great bulk of
the white race Is, of course, concen-
trated In the European continent.
Four-fifths of the entire white race
lives on less than. one-fifth Of the
white worlds area. OF the colored
races the yellow are naturally the

WILL HELP FARMER

Senator Capper in an interview
says the new emergency tariff bill
is in the right direction.
II have no doubt that we can put
through the emergency tariff bill"
he said. 'Now that the new admin
istration is in a position Of RESPONSE
bility, 1t plainly up to us to re-enact
the bill for farmer relief which passed
at the last session. but met with
veto at the hand Of President Wilson.
II realize that the passage Of the
measure now will not be as helpful
in an Immediately practical way as
it would have been two or three
months ago. Most Of the 1920 crop
is now cut Of the hands Of the farm
ers, so we cannot hope for Just the
same kind OF relief that we could
have hoped for then. But the psy-
chology Of the thing is the impor-
tant feature. It will be most reas-
surfing to the producers to see the
measure passed. It will show them
that the new administration has a
sympathetic concern for their inter-
ests, and is determined to work out
something which may be Of real help
to them. This should greatly encour-
age the farmers"

SOME REAL ISSUES

About the liveliest campaign in
Kansas is reported from Atchison.
That town has adopted commission
form Of government and Is electing
the three commissioners for the first
time this year. The labor element de-
cided that It should be represented
on the commission and has nomin-
ated a negro for one of the commits
sioners and all Atchison's snObaucracy
is trembling for fear that the shady
one will become their ruler. And
there Is no joking about It. He Is
being backed by all the labor unions
and the colored folks and some of the
white ones. The campaign is becom
ing frenzied in its intensity and there
is talk Of Klu Klux Klan. But that
isn't all Of the troubles for the Atch-
isonites.. st. Joe is building con-
crete road from the east side Of the
river just across the bridge from
Atchison to st. Joe and Atchlson mer-
chants see all their trade fiivvering

SANE UTILITY DECISION

The United States supreme court
uphoids decisions of Oregon public
service commission, that cities eannet
compel public utilities to give item
free municipal service in exchange
for charters.
In numerous tewns free hydrant
service, free telephones and free SER
vice on street cars had been forced
from public utilities, thus casting add.
itional burdens on private patrons.
The Oregon legislature enacted the
Eddy bill to compel the public SER
vice commission to really legalize
such inequitable contracts, but the
governor vetoed the bill as an inter-
ference with sound policy.
To allow city councils or even the
people themselves to exact free SER
vice or service at special rates Is held
an abuse equal to free passes, on the
theory that all such service must be
paid Tor by higher rates charged some
other users. 80 r.
