Blavery was one of the oldest institutions in the world. It dated back to early Bible days. For many centuries the buying and selling of human beings was deemed as justifiable as the trade in cattle. Little by little the various nations found slavery unprofitable, and it had practically died out in Europe by the time {t started in America, VOLUME 52.. CASSIDY OF THE BORDER. ASSIDY, the Queens boss arrested yesterday, has his residence | C at Far Rockaway, near the southeastern edge of the metrop- olis, and his power in Long Island City, across the East River | from mid-Manhattan. In the territory between his home and his stronghold are race tracks, cemeteries, breweries, beach resorts, pleas- ure parks and truck farms as well as factories and commuting villages. Queens Borough in its present estate is a borderland, suggesting both @ park and a dumpheap—and Cassidy is the product of his environ- | ° ment, # sort of border ruffian in city politics. Queens has been badly governed since consolidation. It has pre- sented the knotty problem always found on the fringes of a great city. | Not muce | SHAW HAVE The first Western Homtephere Letploegecind hdd bes Centrat and South Amer- v i i 1 toa, where the climate was often too hot to allow wi nto do much outdoor New York has had this before, not in borough form but asa problem bare AS) Berane GRArtEA R ork, to the ‘Dpaslarda teresa. the Indlans into pavers, In 103 a Portuguese of its wharves and “shanty-towns.” London had it in the district 1% ENOUGH ship (the Portuguese were the first race to hunt negroes tn the African jungles OWNER called Alsatia.

And as the population Increased the demand for slaves became greater and greater, In time, when North America was settled, slavery @pread over almost the whole continent. For nearly 300 years the buying or stealing of slaves in Africa and the selling of them In America was a legal and recognized indugtry, Even when the law at inet forbade aucn importations the trade went on by stealth. It 1s told that when a Government vescel once chased @ slave ship the negroes were shackled and thrown overboard in order to des- troy all evidence against the smugglers. But though the tmporting of slaves was largely checked, the buying and sell- ing of them in America went on as before. Nenrly every colony—and later Nearly every State from Maine to Georgia—contained negro staves. The Con- atitution of the United States sanctioned the custom. In the North It gradually became more profitable to employ white labor than to keep negro slaves, whe ( Five z for slave use) brought @ cargo of negro slaves to Banto Domingo.

But in the South, on the big planta- tions, slavery wag still considered a necessity. ‘As the North had no further need for slaves the “Abolitionists* (a party that — ‘ia Mel demanded the abolishing of slavery) grew yearly stronger there, An “tnder- | Suaaest PINK For HE DECORATIONS ba ground route” was established whereby negroes could be smuggled North to P ‘ ‘ freedom.

But when sentiment and economics unite the one gives the other edge. This is shown in the good roads movement, now theme of a national con- gtess at Richmond. . It has not altogether availed to cite such cases as that in Meck- ienourg County, North Carolina, where land sold for $8 an acre before rood roads were built and sells. for $50 now; or that farm in Hall Dounty, Georgia which sold for $1,800 before 2 macadam road was! out through, and for $4,500 afterward.

Between North and South the lines dally grew more tense, There had always been rivalry between the two sections, even before the slavery question arope. (So strong was this feeling during the Revolution that Washington's utmost efforts were needed to hold it tn check). Now, with the admission of each new to the Union the quarrel waxed hotter, Pro-slavery and anti-slavery clamored for control in every border State, When Misgourt applied for admission to the Union @ climax came. After hot argument Henry Clay temporarily averted more serious trouble by formulat- ing what was known as the “Missourl Compromise.” By the terms of this com- promise Missouri was to be admitted as @ Blave Eta at State; but slavery was henceforth prohibited in any new State north of Missouri's southern boundary } 4 Compromise.” line.
