Congratulations

The people of Americas are
to be congratulated on their ac-
ton in passing the emergency
street bond issue for 100000 to
repave the disreputable wood
block pavements.
Their action will encourage
the Mayor and Council to con-
tinue their efforts in the name
of strict economy, wise manage
ment and efficient government.
The present body of city off
Gals are living up to the spirit
and the letter of the budget law,
carefully administering every
dollar entrusted to them. They
are retiring the old floating in
debtedness that should cancel
this in six years or less, when the
tax rate can again be lowered
from 20 to | 5 mills.
The first action of the Mayor
and Council after the bonds are
ratified by Council and pass on
to the court for examination,
will be to appoint special COM
mittee composed of several
street pavement experts who will
act with the City Engineer, MIR.
Wheatley, in calling for bids for
repaving the streets and will al
SO aid Council and Mayor in the
selection of the type of pave
ment to be laid in place of the
wood blocks.
There will be no undue haste
nor will there be any needless
delay in getting the paving un-
der way. However, the Mayor,
Council and City Engineer are
determined to give the taxpay-
ers the greatest value for every
dollar they have voted in the
bond issue.
The splendid work done at
the polls by number of inter-
ested citizens yesterday account
J ed. to a large measure, for the
overwhelming vote for the
bonds. However. after all is
said, it was the splendid vote
and aid of Americas women that
made the issue possible. Their
votes were almost IF not en-
tirely-unanimpus for bonds.
We congratulate the women for
their help from the start to the
last ballot was cast.

Vaccinate Now

There are few cases of small
pox in the county. but in every
case it is found among those
who have failed or refused to
submit to vaccination. Not a
child has developed a case nor
is there a case among white
people, health authorities in
form US.
Occasionally there exists a
prejudice against vaccination,
which is really rather foolish.
There is no community in the
nation that does not advocate
and insist upon vaccination. 1t is
sure, positive and is the means
that has saved many life.
Before we had vaccine, there
were smallpox epidemics in
thousands of communities. Oft
en- the death list was tragic.
Since science discovered this
preventative, no appreciable
number of cases have occurred
in any one community.
With the first evidence, the
physicians get busy with their
little points, the disease soon
disappears.
The health department of the

cents for the point, when done

Evolution of Races

Most of the big wars for CEN
turtles have been business clashes
or conflicts of political systems
such as democracy arraying it.
self against monarchy.
The world hasn't had a real
racial war since the Chinese
and Mohammedan invasions of
Europe.
But the next big war may be
a collision of races.
So runs the talk in scientific
circles.
A thousand years ago the
white race ruled only part of
Europe. Now the whites rule
eight-ninths of the habitable
world, though they form only a
third Of the worlds population.
But the various colored races
are multiplying rapidly. The
white race. despite its near-sui-
eide in the World War, and de-
spite the spread of birth con- +.
troll, is increasing though not
nearly as fast as blacks, yellows
and browns.
Increased inequality in
numbers means, in a democratic
age, an inevitable transfer of
power" warns Professor ]. w.
Gregory.
Which is the superior race2
Every race steps forward and
answers, We are" Truth is, it
depends on the date. Chinese
had great civilization when
Europeans were wearing wild
animal skins and hunting with
a club.
Right now the white unques-
tionably are superior - in
wealth, invention, arts and sci
ences. Time may change our
standing. All civilizations de-
cay, as surely as petals fall from
the blooming rose.
Felix Luschan in his latest
book writes: The differences
between races, especially those
regarding intellectual and moral
qualities, are by no means as
great as the differences between
single individuals belonging to
the same race. There are no
inferior races, but each race has
its inferior individuals.
He might haveadded that the
inferior individuals" frequent
ly are decidedly in the majority.
The main difference between
races is that they are in differ
ent stages Of evolution, just as
the habitual criminal is thous-
ands of years behind the aver
