Dubois Compares Vote of South and North Dr. W. E. B. Dubois, in a lengthy article on “Why the South is in the Saddle,” makes an interesting com parison of the Southern and Northern vote. It is shown that in 1912 New York, with 45 electors, cast 1,587,983 votes, while Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama and Mississippi together with 45 electors, cast 354,987 votes. In Alabama the combined vote of the nine Democratic Congressmen was but 75,528, while the combined vote of eight Congressmen from Kansas was 483,683. Heflin from Alabama, whose only claim to fame has been the introduction of anti-Negro measures, was “elected” to Congress by 8,100 votes. In Mississippi Sisson, another arch enemy of the Negro, received 4,899 votes. The lowest vote received by any Congressman from Kansas was 46,185. “It would seem,” says Dr. Dubois, “that each Mississippi voter (and only white men vote in Mississippi) casts thirteen votes where a Kansas voter casts one. We ask in all candor how long is Republican government going to endure such circumstances ? How long is this, the most burning ques tion of American democracy, going to be ‘let alone’ by patriotic Ameri cans?” RUFFED GROUSE (Bon«u umbcllus) A I _~ -:——:-1 Length, seventeen Inches. The broad black band near tip of tail distin guishes this from other grouse. Range: Resident in the northern two-thirds of the United States and in the forested parts of Canada. Habits and economic status: The ruffed grouse the famed drummer and finest game bird of the northern woods, is usually wild and wary and under reasonable protection well with stands the attacks of hunters. More over, when reduced in numbers, it responds to protection in a gratifying manner and has proved to be well adapted to propagation under artificial conditions. Wild fruits, mast, and browse make up the bulk of the vege table food of this species. It is very fond of hazelnuts, beechnuts, chest nuts, and acorns, and it eats practical ly all kinds of wild berries and other fruits. Nearly 60 kinds of fruits have been identified from the stomach con tents examined. Various weed seeds also are consumed. Slightly more than 10 per cent of the food consists of insects, about half beetles. The most important pests devoured are the potato beetle, clover-root weevil, the pale-striped flea beetle, grapevine leaf-beetle, May beetles, grasshoppers, cotton worms, army worms, cutworms, the red-humped apple worm, and saw fly larvae. While the economic record of the ruffed grouse is fairly com mendable, it does not call for more stringent protection than is necessary to maintain the species in reasonable numbers.

There is nothing more essentially cowardly than severity and harshness where it cannot be returned. The man who is bold and insulting where he has noth ng to fear, and speaks softly w’here there is danger, gives but a poor ac count of his courage. The man who thinks that a human equally endan gers his superiority and lowers his self-respect betrays the fact that he is not sure of his superiority and can not trust his self-respect to stand alone. A rank which can be injured by fairness and by an uncondescend ng kindness shows that it is already defective. What would happen to the race problem in India, in California, n our Southern borders, if necessary distinctions and distributions were purged of all antipathy, and if so called Christian blood w’ere to gain a ransfusion of the blood of Christ?
