Race Riots and Present Liv
ing Conditions.
r
Possibly the "race problem" is renl
ly n housing problem nt least, so du
ns the north is concerned.
' What has mused the race riots in
Chiruifo and other northern cities
lately?
Snys hn eastern paper; "The Influx
of colored laborers and their families
from the south during the war neces
sarily Rnvo rise to the question of
how to house them; nnd there being
not enough room. In the districts in
habited by their own race, they natur
ally tool? up residenco In the sections
where tho Vhite people were living.
The hitter, of course, resented this,
nnd so for months there have heeen
hostile feelings between tho two
races."
It is well known that white people
nnd bluek people do not get along well
as neighbors. Quite nside from any
theoretical question of "equality," it
is always better us n practical ar
rangement to hnvo them living in sep
niiilo districts. Where the whites nnd
blacks of any community are thus
separated, nnd whoro neither Intrudes
on tho other except for nocessnry pur
poses of work nnd business, they gen
orally get along nmlcnlily.
Where'the two rnces touch, thero is
nenrly nlwayg what might he called
rnciai abrasion. They qunrrol nlong
the edges. And if for any reason the
edges shift nnd brenk, nnd one section
crowds Into the other, the quarreling
is likely to spread through the whole
mass. That means race riots.
The north invited those negroes dur
ing the war. The communities Into
which they moved expected to profit
by their labor, nnd did. Those com
munities ought, as n simple matter
of rommon sense, to hnvo provided the
necessary facilities for tho additional
negroeB alongside of their own race,
and thus kept them from encroaching
' on the white sections. If they had
done that, there would probably have
been little trouble.
A sensible building policy might
yet solve (he problem.
More About the "Y" in the
War Service.

A detailed report of the war work
el the V. M. C. A. puis that nrgniiiy.ii
tun in u more favorable light than
mi;:ht have been expected from the
widespread criticism which prevailed
n fi w months ne;o.
Tho "Y" .actually spent In its war
service, from the end of April, l'.UT,
to the end of March, liil'.l, about $:iS,
00(1,010, and hud - .,HII left to
carry on the work until next January.
Only two per cent of that JllS.OtiO.
0(10 was spent for religious purposes.
The rest was for personal services and
entertainment, mvessui y expenses ant!
tile distribution of supplies.
The impression that .-olihers had to
pny for everything they got from ihc'
Y. M. C. A. is refuted by such riots
tin these:
There were tifu.flOO baseballs ami
20,000 sets of boxing gloves distrib
uted free overseas.
There were !I7,OIH1,000 free concerts,
vaudeville performances and other en
tertainments given in American can
"tonruents, and more Vhitn ot.000 con
certs lllul entcrtainnienfs overseas,
costing altogether over $lHto,(iiili.

Indpendeet strikers Hurt
ing Labor's Cioe.
The strike of ninny groups of rail
rond shop workers in anticipation of
the strike referendum was unfair to
the government, unfair to the puMir
and unfair to the cati.se of organized
labor.
The government had provided the
machinery for the HeUlemcnl of rail
road labor disputes, nnd that machin
ery, though admittedly slow of netion,
had not. broken down or been repudi
ated. Them was no evidence that the
government was acting, or would act,
in bad faith.
The Mi-ike referendum Itself np
pear to have been rather hasty. Hut
if the men hat! waited until it was
taken, and then struck in obejience;
to Us verdict, they would have nctrtl
with regularity. (lovernment jinri pub
lic would have had Rome warning nt
least; Inm nens men would have hail
Home slight chance to adjust their af
fairs; and not least important, the dis
cipline nnd good faith of the labor or
ganization concerned would hnve been
maintained.
Hy walking out so hastily, the hot
hendfi disobeyed their- own officers,
broke their own rules, and endangered
the very principle of collective har-gitining.

Accurate War Histories No
Quickly Compiled.
Already the book shop shelves are
piled with histories of the war, ami
book ngents are ringing the door bells
of the houses or working their way
into offices to sell them.
No doubt there are some nmong all
the multitude of publications which
have merit. They may be nioileratelv
uccurate or comprehensive or interest
ing. Hut to pretend that in so short
a time after the great conflict there
can be any true history of it would be
absurd.
It will tako time, the advantage of
further perspective, much gathering
nnd comparing of daln, to put upon
the market anything which even faint
ly approaches a finished history.
- Not until, many a long year has
passed will all the evidence lie in.
Tlieer were countless happenings, ren- I
sons for movements, political in
trigues, which nre only now beginning
to see the light of day.
It took half a century for historians
to understand and do justice to -the
French Revolution. Certain histories
of this wnr may be useful but only
no temporary makeshifts. -

The mere announcement that the
big show is coming will cause small
boys to become active, performing all
sorts of jobs with an alacrity that will
stand in vivid contrast to their de
meanor before the first fiins of the
circus appeared. And, likewise, finite
a laitfu number of uncles and aunts
are looking about, raking up acquui.-i-,
lances among their nephews and niec
es. They are saying that they will
probably "have to go and carry Iho
children to nee the animals." Hue

they would not miss the circus if there

year three long trains are used to
transport the big amusement orga

cessary to accommodate the Hagen-beck-Wallace
shows, and they are so
large that they cover a small size
farm. The big arena tent is 540 feet
in length nnd among the largest evev
constructed. It is supported chiefly
by six enormous center poles greater
than those used on the biggest sail
ing vessels. The performance is giv
en in three rings and on two stages.
The Carl Hageubeck trained wild ani-,
