the negro literature which comes to this desk In newspaper periodical and book form the negro race In America bids fair to suffer and suffer keenly the lack of the conservative well I ered leadership supplied by the late Booker Washington Unfortunately it would seem no outstanding leader of the Washing ton type able to lift his race and win substantial victories for it in quiet unassertive dispassionate ways has been raised to take the place of the Tuskegee educator In his stead there now reign in negro opinion a num her of agitators whose general philosophy Is voiced in the writings of du mois autnor or uarKwater ana eauor "Crisis" Du Bols on whose shoulders many of his race Washington mantle has fallen is entirely different Where Washington took his race as he found it and endeavored to lead it to better things through co operation with the white man whom he recog nized as the best friend Du Rots temperamental bitter passionate Is the poorly concealed foe of the white race only waiting impatiently for the opportunity to light the fires of nationalism and antagonism which must inevitably lead the negro to bitterness and sorrow If we have read "Darkwater" aright if we have followed and Inter preted tho "crisis" accurately Du Bols as the prophet 'of the negro race is seeking to line It up in antagonism to the white race and shaping its thoughts along lines which can have but one result And the danger which Is potential in h1s writings is not lessened by the fact that he is a thinker strong and logical arined with a bitter and passionate eloquence Without fear as to the security of the future of the white race actuated solely by an honest desire for the continued growth and improve ment of the negro face and for the establishment of absolute Justice In inter racial relationships the Arkansas Democrat could wish that Provi dence would raise up a new negro leader with the breadth of vision the sanity and commonsense of the late Bopkor Washington and that the race would turn to him and listen to his voice or only grief only sorrow only unspeakable woes can result from the Du Bols leadership pushed to its logical conclusion i Tho public prints

rather startling figure The report is more distressing still when it is further made known that the bruises were the result of inhuman prodding beating and clubbing of the animals in the loading and unloading chutes and pens on the trains mid in the stock yards The bruises represent a clear meat loss because all bruised portions must be cut out of the carcass before it is offered for sale and a carcass thus disfigured rates as a second or a third when undamaged it would have rated as a first Aside from tho waste in a valuable food product the cru elty which delivers such blows is an appalling thing The Na tional Live Stock Exchange which has taken up the matter is acting for the benefit of the public the owner and the animal which should he protected from ruthless injury Instead of a club or a pitchfork the slap stick with a snapper should be used "Throw away your club!
