1n or violating tbe law. So near indeed that they do often commit light crimes which constantly secure for them special privileges. The only reason -/•they are not arrested,arraigned and punished for such violations is not because the people generally do not know they are guilty but because the great mass of the people will allow themselves to be imposed upon by such selfish neighbors rather than get into a controversy with %hem. Public sentiment should be so awakened that peace officers would look up such violators of the law and initiate proceedings against them. That is really what peace officers are

Sor. Many a law abiding citiaseti knows of violations of the law, against which tie would willingly give evidence if only lie could escape the initiation of the proceeding. Officers, however .have been disposed to throw this responsibility upon upon the people. This very fact has kept many violators irom being prosecmted and convicted. There is good authority from high sources these days, ior peace officers looking up crime, and the popularity of such actions is very manifest in the universal approval of the prosecutions of insurance and corporation frauds throughout the United States. It is really the duty of District_and State ^attorneys, marshals, sheriffs and constables to see Hhat all 'Violators of law are prosecuted and punished. No such officer "performs his whole duty who neglects to do so. That is what he is elected to do. Violators hold a grudge against a private citizen who begins a criminal proceeding against them, while they do not cherish such feeling against officers. A peculiar thing about violators of law— such as mentioned in the former part of this article—is that they are themselves the most exacting of their neighbors and fellow citizens. They are the first to complain of anything which ^annoys them. They would not allow a neighbor's chickens or flog to run at large a single tlay.

Cutting Out of Limited's Stops An Inconvenrenee.

The complaints about the I. and E. limited cars not stopping for passengers in the central business part of the citycontinues to be heard. The complainants point out that there are only three places within tbe city limits where the limited cars stop. One is at the barns, another at the station and the third at School street. None of Itfiese stops they say are within the business portion of the city. They insist that electric cars are different from steam cars and are not to be compared with

declare that the

limited cars will stop nt any street in Indianapolis for passengers. This being so they say that it is not asking too much to have one stop at least in the very heart of the business portion of this city.

Some people go so far as to say that under the company's franchise it is compelled to stop all cars. However that may be there is one thing certain a very determined effort is going to be made to have at least one stop in the central business portion of the city.

A citizen who is interested in the matter said today that the easiest way for the street car company to get out of the con troversy would be to grant the demand. Another promiment professional man declared to day that he proposed to take action without further delay if something was not done toward getting the stop. He proposed to test the matter at least to his own satisf action. While he thinks the electrie line is great convenience to the people he also thinks that Greenfield people contribute enough to its success to secure better services from its limited cars than they are now getting.

RACE QUESTION IN AFRICA.

A Prophecy of Coming Struggle Between Black and White.

The struggle which produced the territorial unity of South Africa is going to be supplemented by one which will end in the establishment ol an identity of interests between the two white races south of Zambesi, says the Pall Mall Gazette. The dominant question in the south of tho Dark continent is no longer the predominance of Boer or Briton, but ot white or black, and whether it materializes in the form of a vast armed or political struggle the outlook is almost equally serious.

To begin with, there is south of the Zambesi to-day a native population of 10,000,000 and a white population of under 1,000,000. Moreover, the blacks not ony shoy no signs of diminuition, but are steadily increasing and at a much faster rate than the whites. Probably for all time the natives in South Africa must enormously preponderate, a result which the white man himself has and is still doing much to promote. For in the olden days tribal wars, to say nothing of pestilence and famine, served largely to counterbalance native prolificntss. These checks to native increase are now removed. War no longer periodically decimates the populations, while the white man's arts of civilization have deprived both famine and pestilence of their former power.

Consequently, the native in an environment of peace and plenty has paid a cordial obedience to the divine admonition to increase and multiply, while the white, whether by natural increase or immigration, has added to his numbers but slowly. Thus we are faced to-day by the broad fact that pitted against a limited white population is a practically unlimited and virile black population, which, under the influence of civilization and education, is becoming each year a more formidable element, and, if unrestrained, muat inevitably undermine the very foundations of white supremacy.

There are two great factors at work among the natives of South Africa today: the one political, and, at present, although growing, limited in its expression the other quasi-religious, that is to say, frankly nationalist, and operating thoughout the country. This last is essentially anti-white, and, as evinced by its most recent ebullition in Natal, may yet be responsible for deluging South Africa in blood. The outlook is gloomy and depressing enough, but in direct proportion to its menace is the hope for the future good relations of British and Dutch.

There is one gleam of sunSight through the blackness of the horizon. For, bitter as is the feud between the two white races to-day, rivalries, jealousies, and differences of all kinds will be swept away by the growing realization that only by presenting a solid and united front to the oncoming hordes of superficially civilized blacks can they hope to escape annihilation.

Of the two ways in which this struggle may be carried on, open war, in spite,of the suffering it would entail, would be fraught with less peril to the white man than the political pressure of black power upon the machinery of government. Something of the serious nature of this question may be gathered from the present state of things in the Southern States of North America. But the difficulty presented by the relatively insignificant number of negroes in the United States will be as nothing compared with that which will face the white races of South Africa when confronted with the enormous black population south of the Zambesi. q}"k

To-day the majority of these natives are in a semi-savage condition. But we must accept the fact that a day will come when they will have emerged from that condition and have attained the degree of civilization which prevails among the negro kindred in the United States. Indeed, the process of evolution is already in operation. The native peoples are awakening from their slumber of centuries, and there is no more remarkable feature of their awakening than the almost insatiable thirst for knowledge which consumes them. It is a significant fact that during the last decade 60 per cent, of the children annually attending school in Cape Colony have been colored, and only 40 per cent, white while in a recent Cape Government Education Report the actual number of children receiving education in the public schools of the colony were 91,313 colored and 60,849 white. Cape colony and tho territories are literally peppered with native schools, the territories alone having several hundreds, while the cry of every native petition to government is "Give us more education."

The native schools are manned by aboriginal teachers, men who have passed one or other of the Cape University qualifying examinations, and who display no lack of intelligence in their work, but who have undoubtedly become infected with that politico-re-ligious movement known as Ethiopianism, which has done, and is still doing, more than any other influence to Inspire the native with a nationalistic spirit of covert hostility to the white men as an intruder upon the soil of the black races.

The question, therefore, which every thinking Africander is asking himself at the present time is, "What will be the relative positions of the» black and white populations in South Africa when this educational process is completed?" The United States supplies us with seme hint of the answer. There the two races are at each otfcer'a throaty,
