NOT FRENZY. BUT
THE GOLDEN RULE.
A fool can settle to his own satis
faction, in a sentence, questions that
perplex the wisest men, and cause
statesmen and philosophers to feel
thai they need God's wisdom to com
prehend, llis Omnipotence to master
aud much time to adjust. The race
question is such a problem. You can
hear its solution in every street ear.
Jleu sitting on nail kegs at the coun
try stores, on beer kegs in the dog
geries, aud ou more pretentious seats
in churches, court rooms ami news
paper otliecs are saying: "Thus and
thus saith the sage, il is settled."
The wise lawyer taps his bulging fore
head aud says: "Law has mastered it
and I am its exponent." The wise
editor grinds out a solution that is
sold on the streets in twenty minutes
ami forgotten in an hour. The wise
preacher misquotes or misapplies his
liible and considers himself a prophet.
The wise statesman clears it all up in
a wise speech, and eagerly waits for
some follower to procl tint him a
greater man than Moses or lioosevelt.
J.esser lights repeat the statements of
these, and declare all plain as day.
Meantime, reporters from North and
South send dispatches that make
hades gleeful and cause the thought
fid to have keen regrets; news that in
cites the wicked to boldness and that
shows die race question is yet very
much a perplexing problem, one for
statesmen, students, editors aud, most
of all, for the commoners to meet
earnestly. It is not one for figures
only. It does not read: If one ship
can carry a thousand blacks to Africa
in lifteen days, how long will it take
for the world's fleets to transport the
miHimis? It is not: If among a
thousand colored people so many
more are born in a given time than
among the whites, how long before
the blacks will outnumber the Anglo-
Saxons? It is not: II the power of
a black brain be one half that of a
white mail's brain, how many years
will it take to make the black man or
woman happy to be the underling for
his paler neighbor? It can not all be
stated by a question like this: If a
negro boy without a history can rise
in two or three decades to become a
Booker Washington, how long will it
require to make all negro boys into
great men? Nor, If a brutal negro
becomes a notorious desperado or a
bestial villian after forty years of aw
ful ncgWt, how lontr will it require
to make all into criminals? Much
less is it possible to state it: If a race
of slaves, after decades of slavery,
which followed centuries of heathen
ism, were easily controlled as slaves,
how easy will it be for their descend
ants to become serfs after forty years
of freedom? Neither is it wholly a
question of marksmanship or denunci
ation or torch. Yet il has as factors
such minor questions as those of birth
and death, of brain and brawn, of
commerce, church, school, service,
heart, soul and all that affects human
ity. Tillman's pitchfork and Koose
velts' manifestos, the teacher's spell
ing book, the labor question—itself
unsolved—and rope and torch and
knife, with love and hate, and whis
key and lust, and law and gospel, and
criticisms and force and helpful coun
sels all these are factors, but there is
a larger one yet that must not be un
derestimated. This nation settled the
race question once by the word slav
ery, or thought it had (say, rather, it
created it), and complacently sat
dswu to sclf-gratulation as its great
wisdom, but God laughed us to scorn
and gave us our choice between na
tional death and letting the oppressed
go free. (iod is the chief factor
now—for Righteousness and Justice
are other ways of spelling God.
What are 11 is mandates? Answer
that, and the rest is easy, for the best
policy of nations, as of individuals,
in the long run is to do right. What
is right? A fair chance, with neither
unjust favors or needless hardness for
any. No domination except by lair
means, and the dominant givijtg the
minority a square ileal. Togo into
details would be to add. another fool
production to the thousands already
forgotten, but to say distinctly tlinl
< iod aud eternal right must not be
forgotten is timely now, as it always [
is. It no question is over solved un
til (iod and right are reckoned with,
it is extremely important to seek for
this true .solvent. Extremists are
rarely absolutely fair or right. There
is :i middle of the road, a straight
line, if we can but find it. The
would-be leader who deflects to one or
another extreme is not safe to com
mand, but may be a guidon showing
where not to go.
While il is true that slavery will
never bo the solution, nor peonage,
for you can hatch a chicken but can
never got it in the shell again, it is
also true that a freeman can enslave
himself ami hurt his fellows by con
tinued ignorance, intemperance or
usi'lessuess. Idleness and vice are
the black man's worst foes as they
are the white man's enemies. Liberty
and wickedness are not to be synony
mous in litis hind. There need be lior
fear of slavery, and very few would
want it, but the train of freedom will
carry the incorrigible criminal to pen
al servitude, as it ought. It should
not be foigotten that neither at a New
England town meeting nor a Carolina
barbecue will a monientuous question
like this be settled. What is wanted
is the fairness and righteousness of
the Golden Utile. Oh, nation, called
to meet this difficult problem, ask
first and always: What is fair and
tight for all ! The answer for a cen
tury may not be indicated in a mo
ment, but if justice for all, which is
"the square deal," shall be the wish
of honest minds, the clear judgment
for each step will be given. Passion,
prejudice, torch aud gun will then
give place to a united determination
nf the best and sanest to "tote fair."
What is fairness? We can't multiply
either a freeman in white, or a freed
ntaii in black, by neglect, and ignor
ance, and have as a product good
citizenship or high morality. It is
not fair to any to try it. Neither
church or state can be fair to any
class by ignoring the morals or educa
tion of any. The breeze that blows
over a pestilence may scatter its bac
teria anywhere. The white man's
home may any day be darkened by
the miorobs from a black man's fever,
and the reverse is equally true. Lust
and hate breed their own kind in all
races, and a bad unit in any color
may scatter his immoral germs where
least expected. In this matter, mind
must beat frenzy, love must conquer |
bate. The ravisher should be pun
ished by law, but law must protect
good men and women who arc doing
right, and with no color line discrim
ination. Such must know the law is
a friend and a rock of safety. DOWJI,
forever down, with appeals to unrea
soning emotions and bias, aud up
with the Golden Rule, for the greatest
danger that threatens is not jjeiith to
one, but dishonor and surrender of
self-control and law by many.)
OPPOR
TUNITY
It is said that opportunity knocks
but mice at each man's door. I tell
you it is knocking all the time, but
tlie car must he trained to hear it by
ceaseless devotion of every energy and
effort to doing the thing you have to
do to the best of your ability. You
hear it said that nowadays the young
man lias no show, that great combina
tions of capital and enterprise have
eliminated the chance of the individ
ual. It is NOT so. Never in the
history of (he world has there been
such a demand and such opportunities
for the 'Noting man who can do what
ever he has to do, BETTER than the
other fellow. Long and faithful ser
vice are not enough. You arc paid
regularly for what is required of you,
according to the demand and supply
in its doing. It % is the man who so
studies his work, who so concentrates
his mind and effort 011 his work, who
seeks to do that work, no matter how
lowly it is, 15ETTER than anyone
else has done it, that is largely sought
today as he never was before. In our
own great enterprises, and it is so in
all great enterprises, the one greatest
problem is the MEN and WOMEN—
competent, capable and brainy en
ough—the men and women who can
do things better than others, that is
ever present. Many a time have the
details of some large enterprise been
planned out and its accomplishment
was clear, until it came to the ques
tion, Who is the man to fill the place ?
Night after night have those at the
head of the concern gone carefully
' over the qualifications of every man
' and woman in employ, seeking the
RIGHT one for some task, the suc
cessful accomplishment of which meant
' llie making ut the one to whom it
1 should be intrusted. ALWAYS must
the success hinge on the individual.
If you are one of several hundred em
ployes of any concern, don't make the
mistake of thinking that those at the
head of it do not know what you are
doing and how you do it. Not only
do they know it, but they know what
men and women employed by their
COMPETITORS are doing BETTER
work than their own ill (hesame lines.
A new face appears in your midst
and you wonder why an out-aider got
:i position over you. If you had
studied your own work and life as
carefully as your employer had you
would have the answer.
BACK TO
THE COUNTRY.
There is a great movement spread
■ ing over this nation, which is the re
turn of the wave that has rolled in
the opposite direction so long. Less
than ten years ago, life 011 the farm
had but few of the attractions of city
life and endless hardships. Today
the telephone, rural delivery, and
even the automobile, are making the
city man seek the country home.
This movement is but in its infancy.
Parcels pogt and other "privileges"
will one by one be forced from our
lawgivers between island empires and
isthmian canals. We may even Jinpe
to see some of the hundreds of mil
lions now [loured' out each year on
our savage principalities, or presented
to grafting monopolies, spent on our
roads and waterways. Possibly we
may even live to see 11 postal bank for
the "common" people iu the coun
try.

MUCH LEGISLATION,
i Referring to tho legislative session
which will properly begiu after tho

fleranton Truth suggests that "Much

WOUNDING A FIRE.
An Odd Superstition That Dates Back
to Auclent Timed.
A curious modern attempt to ration
alize one of the oldest of superstitions
is to be found In Kipling's "Life's
Handicap.** There Mulvaney checks
the author from stirring the fire with
Ortherls' bayonet on the ground that
lire takes tUe heart "but of the steel.
The real reason is much more mysteri
ous. It was one of the maxims of
Pythagoras "not to stir the flre with
a sword," and to this day the wander
lug tribes of North America aud of
northeast Asia hold it a sin to take
up a burning ember for a pipe light
with the point of a knife. The ex
planation is undoubtedly given by Jo
hannes de Piano Carpinl v'hen lie tells
as that one of the Tartar superstitions
concerns "sticking a knife Into the fire
or in any way touching the flre with
a knife or even taking meat out of tho
kettle with a knife or cutting near the
flre with an ax, for they believe that
so the head of the flre would bo cut
off."
This is evidently connected with tho
ancient idea that flre Is a living crea
ture, a sacred animal, which must not
be wounded by its human owners In
case It should be anuoyed and deprive
them of Its valuablo services. Is this
In any degree more irrational than the
belief still existent umong housekeep
ers that a feeble flre can be made to
burn up by laying the poker across it.

TEA BUGS AND TEA MITES.
They Are the riairuen of the Annan*
Tea Hardens.
Every animal and plant has Its para
site, and from this general law, It
6eeins, the tea plant is not exempt.
Two iusects are described as spending
their lives in tea drinking. They are
the plague of the Assam tea gardens
and are known as the tea bug and tea
mite.
The mites spend their entire lives on
the toa plant aud are uever known to
attack any other leaf. They live In
families and societies on the upper
side of the full grown leaf and spin a
delicate web for a shelter. They then
puncture the leaves and pump out the
liquid in fhe plant veins.
They seem to become very dainty lu
their tastes, for a sprinkling of mud
dy water over their floor and tea table
is the only remedy kuown to check
their ravages. Even!* not ft|-
ways effectual.
The tea bug Is still more destructive
aud Is evidently possessed of an ap
preciation of the best kinds of tea,
since it always attacks those of a
mild and delicate flavor. Such as af
ford harsh aud rasping liquors are al
most entirely free from its attacks.—

DO YOU GET UP
WITH A LAME BACK?
Kidney Trouble Makes You Miserable.
Almost everybody who reads the news

wonderfully successful in promptly curing
lame back, kidney, bladder, uric acid trou

form of kidney trouble.
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is not rec

just the remedy you need. It has been tested
in so many w?ys, in hospital work, in private

TRICKY CONSTABLES.
The Canonsburg Daily Notes at
tributes some odd doings to constables
which we do not believe applies to
these officials in Moutour county.
That paper says: "A wide-awake
oitizeu who lives within the boundar
ies of the county in Pennsylvania
known as Washington says are
doings among some of the constables
of the county which would not bear
the closest scrutiny. For instanco:
Constablos will infor
mation before a justice of the peace
for somo alleged violation of the law,
any selling liquor without a license,
for illustration, and then almost as
soon as the information is made, Mr.
Coustablo will goto the accused and
tell him that by all means he should
have a lawyer and that he can recom
mend him to a good one. The accused
| takes to the idea, and asks constable
to speak to the lawyer for him, and
this is done aud the lawyer issocured,
and then when the hearing comes off
there are no witnesses aud the cast)
drops out—bat certain people are ahead
financially, all the same, don't you
see."
A Protective flovement.
The Shamokin Gun Club is setting
an example which might be followed
with advantage in other neighbor
hoods. It has appropriated SSO for the
protection of game through the killing
of foxes, minks and othor destructive
animals. A dollar a head to the ex
tent of their fund, will be paid fir
each of those animals killed within a
radius of fifteen miles from Shamok
in, the scalp to be delivered to the sec
retary of the club.
Immigration Unrestricted.
The recent rormation of the organ
ization which seeks to promote im
migration to this country ought to
stir up Americau citizens to a sense of
duty to the couutry. Recent statistic
show that we received over 1,000,0 CX 1
newcomers last year. They also shi w
that the countries frjm which in oth
er years the bulk of our new citizeu
s lip came sent us tho smallest num
ber of immigrants in 1906, while otliui
countries, as Russia, Italy, Austria
liunzary, sent the bulk of the immi
grants. It is admitted by tho commis
sioner of immigration that those wl o
arrived last year were distinctly n
forior to their predecessors.
Now, while there is every reason
why the United States should be tx
tremely hospitable to all who desire
to eujoy tho protection of our institu
tions or take advautage of the oppor
tunities for rising in the social or
business scale, it is certainly the duty
of the people to protect their institu
tions from destruction or from such
serious modification as would practic
ally make au eud of them. It is pleas
ant to thiuk of our republic as the
asylum of the oppressed, but it Is not
the highest wisdom which makes it a
dumping ground for the refuse of Eu
rope. There is no obligation upon us
to lose virtue in the effort to tako care
of tho ruiued lives which Europe is
too glad to seud here.
Various etforts have beeu made dur
ing the last decade to secure tire pass
age of a proper law restricting im
niigration. but these have all been de
fdated by tli3 powerful lobby which
some mysterious intlueuca h:is main
tained at tho federal capital for the
express purposo of preventing the ad
option of such legislation. A bill pos
sessing many admirable features is at
the preseut time pending iu congress.
The same sinister influences were
strong enough to delay its pnss&go last
year aud there is reason to fear that
they may be equally successful uow.
It seems singular that already tho ad
vocates of unrestricted immigration
are so powerful. It is evident, that un
less something definite is accomplish
ed soon the couutry will bo eutirely
at the mercy of its alien invaders.
There ought to be uo obligation up
on the part of this country to admit
through its unguarded gates so many
who have achievednothiug but failure
iu the home laud. Already the rapid
increase of crime by our alieu visitors
from various soctious of EJurope shows
the dangers by which the country is
confronted. Tho law which provides
for consular inspection before the im
migrant sails from hi-t home would be
a great improvement upon oxistiug
conditions aud would unquestionably
permanently detain upon the other
side many who uuder other circum
stances would become a bun e i aud a
menace here. The educational test is
not so vital. A man who has a record
for sobriety an 1 goad citizenship at'
home would make a good citizen here,
even if he isn't able to read aud write.

"SAND CURE, LATEST
THING FOK DYSPEPTICS
West Chester, Pa., Jan. 4. —Dys-
peptics in this city are using the
"sand" cure, and all are sanguine of
success. The sand comes from Miss
issippi, is fine and as round as shot.
It is taken in very small quantities',
and is supposed to aid the stomach in
digesting the food. Sometimes a
whole spoonful is taken at a time, ia
very severe cases.
