liiSJ JAMAICA
By Recall of Soldiers Jamaica
Would Become American.
MERCHANTS CONCERNED
Whites Not Worried by "Black Upris
ing" Bugbear But Their Pocket
Suffer Negroes in the Island
Object to Becoming Citizens of
the United States.
The announcement tbat the British
government bu.a decided to remove
the white troops from Jamaica and
other West Indian inlands has been
received here with feelings of deepest
ooocttrn, Buys New York Herald. Lint
oJy in one respect, the financial one.
Ttie European troops stationed hero
ruber about five hundred, and be
tween $300,000 and $400,000 is annual
ly spent by' the home government
k their keeping. The loss of this
mount will be keenly fell by mer
chants and cattle dealers, all white
men, as practically the whole of the
money went into their pockets.
The whites, although standing in
ths proportion of about fifteen thou
sand to seven hundred thousund, have
absolutely nothing to fear from tho
blacks ,and the removal of tho Euro
pean troops will in no way tend to
affect their personal safety. It would
take a great deal of provocation on
the part of a white for a black man
to assault him. In fact, such cases
the as rare as a "green" moon about
one in ten years 1b a fair average.
And this relationship between the
whites and the blacks is certainly
ot brought about by the presence of
European troops in the island.
This state of affairs Is hard to ac
count for, none the less It is here.
There is an Inherent feeling of some
thing akin to affection In the breast
C the Jamaica black for his white
aeghbor, and a white woman can walk
throughout the length and breadth of
Jamaica without fear of molestation
by the natives. There Is no race pre
judice here, and perhaps this has
something to do with It.
Apart from the monetary stand
point, the removal of the European
troops has been received here without
much comment. The element of per
sonal safety has never entered Into
any of the letters written to the news
papers on the subject, and practically
all these letters are written by white
men. The closing down of the naval
station at Port Royal Is viewed In the
aamo light. The monetary loss will
M great, and a large number of men
have already been thrown out of em
ployment, but this is the only concern
that has been caused. The reports
published In English and American
newspapers that the withdrawal of
the white troops, when carried Into
effect, will make the white popula
tion anxious about Its personal safe
ty has no foundation In fact.
In addition to withdrawing the
white troops, the War Office has also
order consideration a scheme for dis
banding the black regiment stationed
in the West Indies (the West India
regiment.) Should this be done It will
cause huge monetary loss to the
island, but apart from this considera
tion the people in Jamaica do not
riew the proposal with disfavor. The
black troops instead of keeping the
peace, are generally the worst law
breakers. Nine years ago they caus
ad a riot In the city, running amuck
through the streets and slashing at
the citizens and policemen with razors
tied to the ends of sticks. Not even
their own officers could control them
while tho riot was on. But it was
their own color who suffered, for the
soldiers took care not to interfere
with the whites except in the single
instance of a polico officer, who was
rather dangerously wounded.
Tho dlsbandment of the black
troops, If It is carried out, will be
gradual, covering a period of several
years. About a thousand black sol
diers are now kept in the island.
The island Is thus threatened with
4 total denudoment of troops and the
lo' .1 government has already been
culled upon by the home authorities
to take stops to immediately increase
the militia force which now numbers
about GiiO men to a thousand strong.
Homo years n:o the rank and file of
the militia was composed of very re
spectable young men. But they got
disgusted with their treatment, the re
sult being that the standard of tho
present force is not a very high on.
The force Is practically of little or no
use, and ninny people aro In favor of
its dlsbandment and the strengthen
ins? of the police With the money thus
saved. But in view of tho recent de
velopmentthe removal of tho troops
this will not bo done, and. efforts
will be made to put back the militia
to the standard it held some years
ago. There Is absolutely no danger
to the whites from tho Jamaica
militia.
Tri the remote chance of there being
a black uprising here, the mulattoes,
whose numbers aro considerable,
would undoubtedly take sides with
the whites.
An important quesHon which
been revived by the announcement
ihit the troips iv,i! re removed,
which is now receiving a great deal of
dlsoussion in the press, is what effect
the change will have o the loyalty
of the colony. The consensus of opin
ion among educated people Is th
the withdrawal of the white troops
is the first move on the part of Great
Britain to hand over the West Indian
Islands to the United States. This
would suit the whites right down to
the ground. They would have every
thing to gain and nothing to lose
thereby, and in the event of a ple
biscite this section of the community
would certainly vote at once In favor

Recent Movement In South Educates
Public Sentiment.
"There have been fewer lynchtngs
in the South during the Inst four
months than In twenty years previous
ly," said Hooker T. Washington before
the League for Political Education.
"Last mouth there were only four, in
February there was one and in No
vember none. This is the direct re
sult of a movement started eight
months ago by a few colored meu and
a few white men. They have sought
to iniluencc public sentiment by
means of pulpit, press and platform,
and the result is now being , felt
throughout the South."
There Is In the south a large body
of the kind of white men represented
in this movement, Mr. Washington
said, but also a great many white
American?, both North and South,
who would rather drop a coin Into
the contribution box at church for the
benefit of the heathen 111 Africa than
for the nearer duty of being just and
generous to the African at home.
Most white Americans Mr. Washing
ton said, "know more about English
life, or Russian life, or Italian life
than about the life of the ten million
black people among them. They see
only our worst side and they Judge
us by that. Tho best colored life
they never see. I know of one tn.i
who has published a book and a good
many magazine articles on the colored
problem who to my certain knowledge
has never entered a colored home,
church or school."
The speaker told something of
work being done by Individual Tusk
egee graduates, and having used the
word "self-sacrificing" in speaking of
one of them ,ho recalled it, saying:
"Any man who gives himself in the
service of his country Is not making
a sacrifice. Anything I have been
able to do for my race I count the
rarest opportunity. I have never
made a sacrifice." New York Trib
une. Lew Wallace and Lincoln.
The few uneventful years he spent
in Covington were distinguished by
one Important event. It was there
that he saw Abraham Lincoln for the
first time. The Indiana bar had even
then some brilliant and notable men
among its members, and a case of ex
traordinary Interest had called them
together at the fall term and the cir
cuit court. In relating the circum
stance, General Wallace said: "Dur
ing the session we were in the habit
of gathering at the old tavern In the
evening, after adjournment. It was a
brilliant company, whose talk was
well worth hearing. One evening there
appeared suddenly within our midst
a tall, ungainly man, homely of vUage,
and rather shabbily dressed. He did
not intrude himself but sat on the
outskirts of the company, neither
proffering opinions nor taking sides
In the controversies that, occaslon
allv, became p;jtty warm. No one
seemed to know anything about him,
and when I asked a friend who ho
was he replied, carelessly, 'Oh, that is
Borne third-rate lawyer; a man named
Lincoln from somewhere In Illinois.'
On? evening, however, after he had
been there some time," General Wal
lace continued, "something moved
him to speak, and then he began to
talk. We nil sat spellbound.
"I have never," General Wallace
said, "heard anything that approached
it; tho logic, tho wit, the pertinent
anecdote that poured out In an un
ceasing stream. He talked thus for
three solid hours. Some one said,
'Whoever that fellow Is, we shall
hear from him again some day.' It
was my first meeting with Abraham
Lincoln," he said, "and the prophecy
that we should hear from him again,
It must be admitted, was abundantly
verified." Harper's Weekly.
Bookworms Are Not Worms.
The name bookworm is made to
cover an army of little creatures of
various sizes, shapes and kinds which
can be found in books. Really no one
of them Is a worm, though perhaps
the "fish moth" or "silver fish" conies
nearer to it than any of tho others.
There are the book scorpions ana
mites, which are not Insects, but are
primarily carnivorous. Their pres
ence In books may be due to the fact
that they find there animal as well
as vegetable food. This is certainly
true of the scorpions, which feed
on mites, book lice and other small
Insects. The book lice, cockroaches,
"silver fish" and "fish moth" can have
no reason for infesting books except
their liking for farinaceous sub
stances such as are used in and aTmine
the labels and bindings of books. Tho
damage done by them Is largely con
fined to their exterior or Interior of
tho bindings themselves. Tho "white
ants" feed principally on wood, and in
au l about books there is more or less
wood fibre, which is to the liking of
these voracloiiH feeders. Tho moths
and bottles aro tho bores and bur
rowers. They seek retired places to
lay their eggs, where Uie larvae will
have plenty of food at hand when
hatched. They will sometimes tun
nel from one cover to the other.
The Czar's Title.
The general allusion to the ruler of
Russia as tho "czar" Is, strictly speak
ing, incorrect. His official title Is
"emperor and autocrat." "Czar" Is
tho old Russian word for "lord" or
"prince" and was abandoned by Peter
the Great on his triumphal return
from Poltava, his crowning vlct ry
over Charles XII of Sweden. Since
then the Russian monarch has been
officially entitled "emperor" and at
Hie congress of Vienna, in 1815, his
right to the Imperial terra was admit
ted by the powers, with the proviso
that, though he was emperor, he had
no precedence over the kings of west
ern Europe.
MIS H SYSTEM
Interboroiiffh Strike Demon
strated its Effectiveness.
NON-UNION RANKS GROW
Employes Were Kept Informed as to
Every Movement of the Union by
Secret Agents Strike Breakers
Massed Beforehand Ready to
Meet All Emergencies.
Those who followed closely the de
velopment and conclusion of the re
cent strike on the Interborough Rapid
Transit Company's lines are aware
that a new order of things has been
established in handling labor diffi
culties, Bays the New York Herald.
This system, which has been per
fected largely within the last year, Is
comparatively unknown to the general
public. The rank and file of the vast
army of organized labor do not yet ap
preciate how perfectly the system has
been organized. An excellent evi
dence of that fact is the sudden and
bewildering defeat that followed the
Strike of tho Interborough's men. It
was the new method that defeated
them and they did not know how it
was done until it was all over and
they had an opportunity to examine
the moves that had been made.
The general amalgamation and co
operation of employing interests, the
placing of shrewd secret agents In
every union and the enlistment of a
standing army of strike breakers un
der able commanders are the three
fundamental principles upon which
the new system is built. In reality
employers have taken a leaf from the
union book. They are working secret
edly. They know when a strike Is go
ing to be ordered and are prepared to
break It before it begins. The old
way was to fight It out. Frequently
the result was a prolonged and disas
trous struggle, with no particular vic
tory on either side. The new method
brings a quick and decisive finish.
Since the summer of 1903 extensive
organization of employing Interests
has been going on all over the United
States. Only employers themselves
know how extensive and how closely
allied those organizations are. It Is
not merely a movement for the forma
tion of builders' associations of trans
portation managers' associations, but
for the general welding together of all
men who have to deal with trades
unions, and they are working togeth
er just as the carpenters' union might
help the bricklayers' union, each hav
ing behind it the support of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor. Business
competition for the time is put aside,
and when war Is threatened by organ
ized labor organized capital is ready
to meet it.
The formation of the New York
Building Trades Employers' Associa
tion two years ago gave the new sys
tem a marked Impetus. Tho destruc
tive fight with the union here In 1903
demonstrated the necessity of closer
relations of employers. The New
York association was established, the
mechanics' union was defeated, 'nd
then quickly followed the the es j,b
llshment of similar organizations in
Pittsburg, Chicago, Philadelphia, Bal
timore and in nearly every city In the
country. Supplementing these organ
izations came national secretaries'
leagues and national employment
bureaus and a system of correspond
ence and co-operation so well arrang
ed that the employing builder or the
employing garment maker in New
York knows precisely what is going
on In his line of business in Chicago,
nnd if a st.ike is threatened he knows
within a few hours just where, when
and how he can get workmen enough
to fill all the places In his own shop.
tinder the new system a new call
ing has been created, which requires
men of superior ability and . which
commands good pay. It Is that of lo
cal of traveling secret agent. The
New York Building Trades Employ
ers' Association Is said to have six
of these agents, constantly moving
al jut from city to city, and a much
lurter number who are employed as
regular workmen in tho various un
ions. Not a move Is made in any of
the unions that the employers do not
know about at once. Ever since un
ions got a foothold in this country
employers have had "spotters," but
the secret agent is an entirely differ
ent sort of man. The old spotter was
always sure to be spotted sooner or
la'"-, when his usefulness was ended,
and frequently he went to the hospital
for repairs. Tho modern secret apont
is ' necessity a very capable styl" of
pei ion, as Important to the emplover
as his superintendent, and not Infre
quently as well paid. Usually, too, ho
is unknown to the superintendent
and to every one else connected with
the business except one person to
whom ho secretly reports when It is
necessary.
Secrecy and co-operation are ho
agencies of strength In organized la
bor, and employers have learned the
lesson. With the added advantago of
unlimited capital many employers be
lieve they have absolutely found a
way to put an end to strikes in most
trades and a method whereby fiey
will be able to force the unions 1'U,
a more businesslike relationship, do
ing away entirely with vlolonce and
enforced idleness on the part of tho
men.

TREES ON HIGHWAYS
Attorney General Has Just Rendered an
Opinion Touching This Law That Will
Interest Suporvliort
The legislature has by various acts
in the last fifteen years recognized
the economic and aesthetic value of
trees and endeavor to protect and
foster them. Several of these acts
take the form of allowing an abate
ment of taxes in favor o' those who
dedicate a portion of their land to
tree growth. This is a wise dis
crimination. The taxes on stand
ing timber have hastened greatly
the deforestation of the state. The
owner of the trees got no return
lrom his property until they were
cut, and as he was taxed on the es
timated value of the timber, to save
those taxes he had to convert bis
trees into lumber. This is a wrong
and wasteful method of taxation.
Trees should be taxed as soon as
they are cut, for then they are mer
chantable property. While stand
ing they are doing public service,
and the state can well afford to en
courage the owner to keep them
standing. One or two measures al
lowing an abatement in taxes for
trees of a certain size are in line
with this policy. But woodland
continues to be taxed in part, and
county commissioners are reluctant
to allow eny abatement for growing
timber. One measure enacted in
1901 allows an abatement of road
tax of $1 for evety two shade, fruit
or forest trees set out by the proper
ty owner 011 the side of the public
highway. The effect of this ought
to be to encourage wavside tree
planting. When generally under
stood no doubt tbat will be the re
sult, and our shadeless, glaring
country roads will in time be flank
ed by stately rows of trees, delight
ing the eye and breaking the force
of the midsummer sun on the men
and beast who travel on the high
ways. The attorney general's office has
just been obliged to give on opinion
that the provisions of this act are
mandatory on road supervisors,
that they must keep a record of the
trees planted under it and allow an
abatement of taxes. If they do not
do this they are informed that they
may be compelled to by mandamus.
Apparently some supervisors do
not like to have the road tax work
ed out in part by planting trees. It
is refreshing to have them told that
their likes and dislikes do not con
trol the situation in the least, and
they must obey the law.
It is a good law, and under its in
fluence the state should b2 trans
formed by long avenues of trees.
We have an excellent road law,
but its provisions do not inc'ude
shade trees. The act of 1901 wtil
supply this lack, at least in part.
Let the farmers set out trees every
where along the public highway ou
which their lands abut and they
will lesson their taxes and very
greatly improve the appearance ana
comfort of the highways. Phila.

Cruelty to Animals,
It is much to be regretted that
the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals is not repre
sented in Bloomsburg. If there
was an active agent here, that very
fact would have a tendency to
check the brutal cruelty that some
times crops out in human beings.
As an instance: A few days ago
in passing a meat market we saw a
wagon at the side door with a calf
in it. A rope was tied around the
calf's neck so tight that it nearlv
shut off its breath. Two men and
a boy were on the spot. One of
the men had brought the calf to
the market; the other man and the
boy were employees at the market.
Instead of lifting the animal out of
the w agon as they could very easily
have done, the boy gave several
very vigorous jerks on the rope,
and dragged the calf out of the
wagon and it fell on its nose and
knees. It was then yanked inside,
a slipping rope placed about its
middle, and it was hung in that
position on the scales and allowed
to remain there much longer than
was necessary. When remonstrat
ed with, the only reply was "Oh,
that doesn't hurt it." Such things
are a matter of every day occur
rence. Law fur Slippery Pales.
