MONEY SAVED BY PATRONIZING MERCHANTS WHO ADVERTISE IN THIS PAPER. THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY The Tragedy At Atlanta, From the Point of View of the Whites by John Temple Graves. VOL. XIII. The T At Atlanta, From the Point John Temp It is exceedingly difficult in times of excitement and of public protest to consider dispassionately or to induce others in that environment to consider dispassionately the causes, conditions and provocations which lead to lawlessness and personal vengeance. It is equally difficult to persuade the majority of those people who live on the northern side of the Ohio and Potomac rivers to receive any utterances that come from the South with patience and consideration unless it happens that these expression coincide with their own views. By the thoughtless newspapers in many cities of the northern and central states, I am written down as a radical extremist upon this Negro question, and without anything more than casual reflection, men who measure other utterances by the line of their own convictions, have done me the injustice to credit me with many things which I have never said, and to misconstrue entirely many things I have said. I am legitimately and earnestly a student of the race question. I have studied more diligently than any other the question that relates to the life of the people of the South, with an intensity of interest due to my conceptions of its serious meaning to the welfare of my children and to the future of the section of our common country in which I live. I am not an extremist. I am not a negrophilist. On the contrary, I am absolutely devoid of passion, temper or prejudice in the consideration of the Negro question. Personally the Negroes regard me as their friend and helper. I receive more requests for personal favors from them than almost any other white man in my section, and within the limits of my strength and capacity. I give more to their personal welfare and development than most men who live in the South. During the recent troubles in Atlanta my home was the rendezvous of Negroes who sought protection at my hands. And during the high tension of the riot period I sheltered under my own roof and upon my own premises perhaps a larger number of Negroes than any private individual in the South. I have reached first of all the impression derived from history --- State Historical and N H Society, Denver, Colo SAVED BY PATRICK COLORA ragedy of View of the Whites by ble Graves. that the African and the Caucasain races are not only opposite but antagonistic races. They are inherently so. They would have antagonistic if the institution of slavery had never existed. They are equally as antagonistic in the northern and middle states where slavery has never existed as they are in the South to-day. Who will deny the fierce and frequent outbreaks of this prejudice in the northern sections—in New York, in Wilmington, Delaware, in Danville, Illinois, in Evansville, Indiana, in Columbus, Ohio, in Chicago, in Indianapolis, in Leavenworth, in Topeka and in Cana and Cartersville in Virginia. The different skins of the races make an antagonism which seems to be but natural and providential, and I have only been able to explain it upon the theory that the antagonism of the races represents in part the purpose of the Creator in preventing a congregation of many peoples in one especially favored region of the universe, and in separating the races into different countries by the implanting of this natural prejudice in the bosoms of each. It is doubtless true and may as well be acknowledged that this prejudice is greater in the South than in the North, because of the institution of slavery, which produces in the mind of the white man a rebellious protest against any effort to place his former slave upon an equality with himself, and on the part of the black man a spirit of revenge for the century of slavery in which he served the South. At any rate no thoughtful man looking fairly at the question can fail to realize that this race antagonism, which exist everywhere exists peculiarly and emphatically in the South, and that the years that have passed and are now passing do not in any degree modify or ameliorate this racial antipathy and dislike. The younger Negroes imbide in their mothers' milk the sentiment of hostility and hatred toward the youth and adults of the white race, and this is manifested in their personal relations from the time they start to school to the time they separate in the work and in the vocations of life. It is not because I would be unwilling to see this antagonism speedily destroyed, and it is not because I am not myself a reverent believer --- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1906. in the creed that Christianity is a solvent for human problems, that I am skeptical of a religious solution, but because I do not find in history or in precedent one line of light or one ray of hope upon which to base expectation that this feeling will die away, either in the lapse of time or through the labors of the Church. I do not know that the crime of rape is primarily due to the existence of this racial antipathy. I am quite confident that in many cases, perhaps in the large majority of cases, it is evolved from other and more tangible causes. The increasing use of whiskey, the consumption of morphine and cocaine, the observation obscene pictures in low dives, and the ever increasing recklessness and irresponsibility of the criminal Negroes, all joined with the long continuance of hot weather, produce at certain seasons of the year a wave of criminality along this spalling line. In the application of these consideration to Atlanta's recent riot, I would simply ask fair-minded and broad minded Americans to adopt that policy which has its sanction in Holy Writ and in the philosophy of justice, and to put themselves so far as possible in the places of the people whom they sometimes so unjustly judge. I am not seeking here to defend or to justify the violence of the mob, but I insist upon it that no brave fair-minded people in any consideration of the mob can fail to remember and to weigh the provocation which moves the mob Those who have kept up with this lamentable tragedy in Atlanta and those who have done me the honor to read the statement which the Washington Post was kind enough to distribute through the Associated Press, will bear in mind that for nine consecutive weeks, the people in and around this city of Atlanta, the capital of Georgia, and in many respects the metropolis of the South, were horrified, at first week after week and then, day after day, by the continued assaults upon the persons and the virtue of blameless and helpless white women in this vicinity. Never in the history of this atrocious crime in the South have the assaults been so brutal, so audacious in attempt, so fiendish in purpose, in the mutilation of women, and more insolent in the reception with which they have been met by the mass of the race from which these criminals came. As 1 have said before, there were within three weeks eleven assaults made and attempted upon pure and virtuous women of good repute and standing in the immediate suburbs of Atlanta. * * * * * On the Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday preceeding the day of the Atlanta riot there were three separate attempts of extraordinary aggravation attempted within the limits of the city. Friday was an intervening day. The people breathed easier. On Saturday the first editions of the evening newspapers came out without the record of a rape. Then suddenly there flashed upon the streets an extra announcing that four women had been assaulted within the hour and the indications were that the crimes were preconcerted and co-ordinately arranged. Another extra of another paper confirmed the rumor, and by 6 o'clock the streets were swarming with an outraged and angry populace who, having exhausted every expedient of remedy and protection that genius, money and law could devise, felt themselves absolutely helpless before the fast multiplying criminals of a race who were seeking to destroy the woman of the South. You know the rest as the story has been told. Without premeditation, without deliberation, without any possible organization, and simply upon the wild impulse of humane nature driven to frenzy by the failure of the law and the failure of public sentiment, the impulsive thoughtless and hot-headed members of our civic population lost the rudder of control in the storm of appehension and danger that threatened their dearest possessions and the mob was on. Now we do not need to go further. Atlanta through its representative voice has spoken its protest against the mob. Its newspapers have condemned lawlessness. The world has known the sober, representative sentiment of this city does not approve the wholesale assault upon a whole people because of the monstrous and unspeakable crime of a few. I do not plead a justification of the mob, and I do not argue for its continuation, but I invoke the human nature that runs in the red blood of every white man in America to understand at least even if we can not justify, the fearful and transcendent provocation which stirred the Atlanta mob to its swift and terrible revenge. I thank the world to day and all thoughtful periodicals that give to the people of the South a fair hearing upon this question. No people on earth know and understand and appreciate the Negro as we do, who were raised with him, and who live in the civilization, of which he is so interesting a part. If you will join with us in studying this great question and give to your reflections and expressions less of bitterness, less of of the prejudice of sections, and less of abstract philantropy that measures considerations at the distance of a thousand miles, we will promise to meet you in the same way, frankly and earnestly, and between us we should at least avail to solve this mighty question and if possible to save and elevate and dignify the race that is dependent on our own. [The foregoing article appeared in the magazine, "The World To-Day" together with a reply from Prof. W. E. B. Du Bois. The reply will appear in our next issue. —Ed.] EARNEST PLEA In the course of a patriotic sermon at the First M E. church at Memphis, Tenn., recently Bishop E. E Hess, the most distinguished minister in the Southern church, said: It is the wealthy lawbreakers that are the chief menace to the public welfare. The healthiest possible spectacle of the day would be that of lawbreaking millionaires wearing stripes and breaking stones in a penitentiary. Especially must all so-called mob law, which is no law but purely anarchy, be stamped out. It has a tendency to grow worse and worse. Beginning by hanging, shooting or burning a man, suspected of a particnlarly heinous crime, it goes on to inflict the same penalty on other real or supposed offenders and finally murders outright and with indiscriminate ruthlessness who ever happens to get in the way. "Long be the day in the distance when an inflamed rabble in this dear and glorious old state shall be turned loose to slay men and women for the simple sin of being black. There are white fiends, but we do not punish innocent white men for their sins, and neither should we deal so unfairly by the colored people, to whom many of us are bound by traditional ties of friendship and love, and who, as a race, and taking everything into account—the weakness of their wicked enemies and the stillness of their fool friends—have behaved during the 40 years of their freedom in a most commendable way." CHICAGO NEGROES Chicago, Nov. 10.—An independent party movement has been launched by the Negroes of Chicago to nominate a city ticket on which they will get recognition in the board of aldermen, and one of the chief positions in the city administration—mayor, city treasurer or city clerk. The movement is inspired by resentment of the wholesale knifing of F. L. Barnett in strong Republican wards, and confidence that Barnett's success was due not to the party's landslide, but to the personal strength, the Negro vote, and the votes of white men were NO. 8. induced to support him by the personal appeals of colored friends. So strong is this feeling that at a mass meeting nearly every Negro preacher in Chicago was present, and the plan for the Negroes to get together, quit both the Democratic and Republican parties, and work for their own interests, joining hands with those white men who are friendly to them, received unanimous indorsement. Negroes of prominence among among their race discussed the independent movement today, and there were few voices against it. The following figures show the strength of the colored people in Chicago. Number of Negroes in Chicago, 46,000. Per cent. of Negroes to total population, about 4. Value of property owned by Negroes $4 000,000. Negro churches in Chicago, 22. Negroes in the postoffice, 400. Negroes in unskilled labor, 2,-251. Negro lawyers, 46. Negroes in profession, 789. Negroes in domestic and personal service, 10,000. Negroes in trades, 2,900. Skilled Negro mechanics, 810.

LEAST DEATHS IN PRUSSIA Death Rate in Our Army Shows Slight Decrease—Tuberculosis Most Deadly Disease—More Medical Offices Badly Needed. Washington.—The report on the work of the medical department of the army by Surgeon General R. M. O'Reilly, just made public, goes into that service during the calendar year 1905, and also compares the health of the different armies of the world, as far as possible. The highest rate of admission to the sick report is held by the Dutch army, whose rate is 13.21 per thousand men, with the American army ranking second with 12.95, and the Russian army holding the lowest rate of 3.48 per thousand men. The British army ranks first in death rate, with 7.13 per thousand men, the American army having the next highest, 6.28. The Prussian army has the lowest rate, 2 per thousand men. An important factor in judging the relative healthfulness of the different armies is the average duration of each case of sickness, the American army, according to their standard, exceeding all others except the Dutch and Bavarian. The total number of admissions to the sick report during the year was 73,742, equal to an admission rate of 1,295.97 per thousand men, compared with 1,354.89 for the previous year and 1,083.01 for the sexennial period from 1898 to 1903. The death rate was also much better than for the previous year, there being 368 deaths from all causes, an equivalent to 6.28 per thousand, as compared with 6.75 for the previous year. As a cause of death tuberculosis led with a rate of .68, a slight increase as compared with the previous year. Pneumonia was second, rate .32. In a chapter devoted to recruiting, the report shows that as a result of the reduction of the minimum age for enlistment from twenty-one years to eleventh, there resulted an enlistment of 1,270 men under twenty years of age. Speaking of the health of the troops in the Phillippines, the report says that all the rates, except the death rate from disease, were lower than in 1904. Tuberculosis alone caused nearly fifty per cent. of the discharges and more than twenty per cent. of the deaths from disease. Surgeon General O'Reilly states that the medical department is very badly in need of officers and that unless Congress comes to its assistance it will be impossible for the department to reach in a high degree of efficiency or to escape a lamentable breakdown on the occurrence of war. TROUBLE IN CUBA. Red Hot Political Campaign Causea Riotous Demonstrations. Havana.—The political situation in Cuba is growing hot. The Liberals are not only criticising Governor Magoon for his slowness in turning the Moderates out of office, but are falling out among thmselves. The campaign to elect a successor to former President Palma has begun, and as it is expected that the election will be held next June, and the Liberals are sure of success, the contest for the nomination will grow warm. American citizens and many Cubans are egging on the rivals to precipitate trouble that will end both parties. Demonstrations were made Saturday night in the streets by the faction in favor of Juan Miguel Gomez for President, and later by other Liberals supporting Senator Alfredo Zayas, the division nec being solely on the color line, for both aspirants are white, although the negroes are mostly for Gomez. On the other hand, Juan Gualberto Gomez, the negroes' natural leader, is for Zayas, who has the support of the older Liberals, the younger men seeming to prefer his rival. They nearly created a riot last night by shouting: "Death to Estrada Palma and all Moderates." "Long life to Jose Miguel Gomez." Col. Jose Estrampes met them, his pistol in hand, in front of the Ingleterra, with the cry, "Down with the niggers." Friends carried him off bodily to save his life. Cries of "Death to Estrampes; we'll have the jobs or make this Santo Domingo," were set up by the mob, and the police has hard work to prevent serious trouble. DEADLY RAILROAD WRECK. Forty-Seven Killed On the Baltimore & Ohio. Chicago.—More than one-half the passengers on an immigrant train on the Baltimore & Ohio railroad were killed or injured in a collision Monday between the passenger train and a freight near Woodville, Indiana. One hundred and sixty-five passengers were on the train, and of these forty-seven were either killed outright or were burned to death in the fire which broke out in the wreckage immediately after the collision. The names of all the dead will probably never be known, as forty-five of the bodies were consumed in the flames, or were so badly burned that identification is impossible. Thirty-eight people were injured, and several of these will die. Eighty others escaped unhurt, but lost nearly all their barge and clothing. The disaster was caused by a blunder of some employee of the railroad company, but just where the blame lies has not been determined. The Joslin DRY GOODS CO.

DICH FRAZIER, Hamages 182) Arapahoe 8 Denver, Colorades GOVERNOR-ELECT H. A. BUCHTEL ANNOUNCES HIS PLATFORM however, and as I said a moment ago, | I will do my part toward redeeming every pledge. | “I will co-operate with the members of the Legislature, and in order that | we may work in harmony I will call a meeting of the Republican members of the Lexislature for Denver on a.date prior to the assembling of the Legis- lature, and at that gathering we will take up all these matters. That is the businesslike way to proceed. “At that time we can consider a rall- way commission law. We will invite the representative business men of the state and the railway officials to pre- sent their views, and we will deter- mine upon a law which can be en- forced without litigation. I think it very important that we should give the shippers relief without getting into a legal tangle. We can not hope to enact a law which will do for all time, or even for ten years. “Undoubtedly the law we pass will need to be bolstered in the future. But experience and the development of business will reveal its weak points, and they can be remedied from time to time. If we attempt too much we will be tied up in the courts for years, and then possibly our law will be de- clared unconstitutional. We want to make an important advance, and we want to hold the ground we gain. __ “We will take up the other measures ‘promised in our platform in the same spirit, and we should produce results. “There 1s one measure not men- tioned in our platform, but which 1 suggested in my letter of acceptance, to Which I wili devote considerable time, and that is the problem of pro- viding employment for the inmates of our penal institutions, “Right at this point T wish you would say for me, and say {t with all pessible emphasis, that I do not desire the convicts to compete with free la- bor. That will not be considered or permitted. “Work 1s a great blessing to the normal man. Then how much more important is it that the abnormal man should be given employment. Other states have gone a long way toward solving this question and Colorado should not lag behind. My idea is that the inmates of our penitentiary should labor eight hours a day. The four hours in the forenoon should be charged to the prisoner’s maintenance and he should receive a reasonable credit for the four hours in the afternoon. Whea his term expires the money he has earned should be turned over to him to do with as he sees fit. He would have a sufficient amount to purchase clothes and a ticket to a point where he was not known. His self-respect would be increased immeasurably by the hard work he had performed in prison and he would ¢nter upon his new career a changed Man. I believe we should save our criminats and not merely glut our vengeance upon them.” “What will the university do while you are acting as governor, chancel- ler?” T_asked. “Oh, I will not abandon the univer- sity,” said he. “I am an early riser |an,d a hard worker. I will stop at the ‘university every morning on my way down town. I will spend an hour in going over my mail and in directing certain important affairs, I will be jon hand at the governor's office at the usual time and vill remain there for ‘the usual hours. Then, in the late af- ternoon and evening I will take up the business of the university again. “While the Legislature is in sestion I will be yery busy, but after that I do not imagine tnat [ will find the duties of governor particularly oner- ous. ‘The governor is the head of twenty-three boards but his duties are mainly routine and do not occupy much of his time, “When my term expires I will re- turn to the university and devote my remaining years to making it one of ‘the great educational institutions of this western country. “By the way,” said the chancellor, “I have been connected with the unt- versity for almost seven years, When ‘T observe the seventh anniversay in a few months T will heve cleared a debt ef $250,000 which has been hamper- ing the fnstitution, and I will haye heen inaugurated governor of one of the greatest states in the Union. This is rot a bad record.” - Drifting back to a discussion of the campaign, the chancellor declared that his aequaintance with the business nien of the state had proven one of his greatest sources of strength, “All my life business men have been my chums,” said he. “I enjoy the so- ciety of the worker, for I am a worker myself, I was very much Interested in the booster movements which stirred Denver a few years ago, and at the request of that energetic crowd of builders delivered some speeches at that me. Then I went with the boost- ers on one of their trips and later ai- dressed some meetings of business men ealled*to aid the election of Goy- ernor Peabody. The acquaintances formed in that way proved of great value to me in my campaign. Bust- ness men had seen enouzh of me to be convineed that [ would make a busl- ness governor, “1 will be a business governor, but there will be enough sentiment to leaven the lump.” Decal vee CT ee ce NU eee ee Chancellor Henry A. Buchtel, newly elected governor of Colorado: “I will be governor of the state of Colorado.” : ‘The Rey. Henry A. Buchtel placed @ great deal of emphasis upon the pro- noun as he made that statement yes- terday afternoon. I had cornered him in Chairman John F. Vivian's room in Republican headquarters, and had com- menced to ply him with questions con- cerning the policy he would pursue as governor. All trace of the strain and bitterness of the campaign had van- ished from his tace—victory is a splen- did tonic—but there still rankled in his mind a measure of resentment against those who had charged that, ag governor, he would be someone's “man.” Hence the emphasis on the word “I.” After studying him at close range I can readily understand why the chan- cellor proved an exceptionally strong candidate. There are few public men in the state who are better “mixers” than the head of the Denver University. He appreciates a good story. He has a pleasant laugh and a warm, strong handshake—invaluable possessions for the man who would go out among the people in search of votes. Then he has {deas—perhaps not the {deas you and I would champion, but, neverthe: less, sane, plausible ideas—and he pre- sents them clearly and convincingly. His viewpoint is that of a follower of Hamilton as opposed to that of the follower of Jefferson. He represents one side of a conflict which is as old as this nation, but he represents it honestly and ably. In a campaign made on important economic issues I would not support Chancellor Buchtel, but in a campaign in which the person: alities of candidates were alone in: volved I would probably be found in his camp. His visit to Republican headquar ters yetsterday afternoon was unex. pected. A group of politicians and newspaper men were gatheref around Dick Broad, the oracle from Jefferson county, scanning the returns from the various counties, when the door opened and the chancellor bustled in. “I could not resist the temptation to drop in and say a word of thanks and congratulation to the men who are responsible for our splendid victory,” said he. And he extended both hands to the eager politicians who crowded around him. Having been convinced that his plu: rality was growing instead of shrink ing he turned to the newspaper men. “{ will be at your mercy in a meas: ure for the next two years,” he said, | with a laugh. “What will I do as governor? I will give the people of the state the very best that is in me. I have been a res. {dent of Colorado for many years. Here I expect to live out my life and here my body will be interred. I want te continue to command the respect an¢ the confidence of the people. “1 will not change when I take pos session of the governor's office. I will be the same man engaged on a differ ent task. “And I will be the governor. T was very much annoyed during the cam paign by reports that I would be some one’s man. As a result of these stories ien approached me and asked me it their rights would be protected during my administration and I said to them. ‘Why, bless your hearts, of course they will be safe. No man will be deprived of his constitutional rights while I am governor.” “[ will be in the state house for only two years and I will enforce the laws and do my duty as I am given the light to see it.” “Do you mean that you will not be a candidate for re-election?” I asked “Yes. I will serve one term and then return to the university. ‘That is my life work, you know, and I have been drawn away from it only becaus I was needed to lead this fight. Poil tics is not my vocation and I think when I have given two years of my life to the state I will have done my duty as a citizen, at least insofar as office holding is concerned. “Then I have no ambition to build up a machine. Men who go into office expecting re-election are very apt to be influenced from the line of duty vy purely political considerations. “I promised the people of Colorado that I would do certain things if they gave me an opportunity, That was a sacred pledge and I will endeavor to redeem it. Of course the power to de- termine the course of the state govern: ment is not entirely in my hands, but I will have a large share of the re- sponsibility and the power and I will do my part in good faith.” “The Republican party in its state platform made certain definite pledge: concerning reforin legislation, chancel. lor,” said I “A state railroad com- mission law was among the measures promised. The people of the state, es: pecially the business men, are anxious to know your position on that ques: tion.” “L think we promised eighteen con: structive measures,” said the gov- ernor-elect. “That was a very ambi. tious program, and it is more than probable that we should not have un- Republican Chairman Rewarded.

The Twenty-fourth street school and the Red Light district is now before the attention of the people of Denver. It is clear that the school situated where it is exposes upwards of 500 children daily to all of the debauchery, vice and flaunting immorality of the Tenderloin district. What will the people or rather the city hall do about it? This is a question we as a race are vitally interested in, as many of the people living in that vicinity are colored people and as the majority of children attending that school are colored, it concerns us. Our voice ought to be raised in a protest against this sad condition. Our race to-day is on trial before the world and is an argument in private conversations and to permit our children to grow up accustomed to the sight of dissipation, revelry and prostitution from their very infansy is only to divorce them from decency and virtue and harden them in their views and practice of ribauldry and shame. If we cannot reform the young men and criminals, for God's sake let's try to save the children and preserve their little minds and innocent affections and searching eyes from exposure to the degrading vice of the Tenderloin district. Send a letter to the daily press or to the Mayor and lift your voice and use your pen to preserve the children of Denver. Do it now. It is your duty. DON'T BE UNREASONABLE. The Republican party has won singular success at the polls in Colorado and will be dispensers of the plums in political quarters in the next two months. The motto, "To the victor belongs the spoils," will be adhered to, but there will not and cannot be enough places to give everybody a job. The number of office seekers are multiplying every day, but it is not reasonable to expect that every one who voted the Republican ticket can be accommodated with a lucrative position. Just now many of our people who have done almost absolutely nothing for the success of the party are the most eager to get recognition in the shape of appointment, but let it be remembered that these will have to be reduced to those who have special fitness and can show not only their loyalty but their continued service in the party's interest. Unless these two particular qualifications are apparent there is no good reason to hope for a place and even then a choice will have to be made out of many applicants. The best way not to be sorely disappointed is not to hope or expect too much. The upbringing of the American and the English girl is as far apart as New York and San Francisco. An English girl grows up to learn that whatever else she may be, she is merely a secondary figure. I remember a clever English girl once saying that before she realized anything else, she discovered for herself that whatever she wanted in life she had to get it through the help of and with the consent of man. Across the Atlantic it is the reverse. As the American girl reaches years of discretion, she quickly learns that she is—to use American slang—"it." All the attention of the family is concentrated, not on the son, but on the daughter. And so, being thus in her youth impressed with her own importance, she insists, not unnaturally, for the rest of her life or occupying the center of the stage. The chief characteristics of the American girl—tact, self-dependence and excitable energy—do not commend themselves to most English male minds. To the American girl the Englishman, as a lover, is too self-centered and inattentive. And it is another Yankee paradox that the most businesslike and powerful American magnate comes second in importance to his own wife. He will work for a longer day period than any Englishman in a corresponding profession, and he must expect but little encouragement and sympathy from the American wife. True, the American man makes the best of husbands, if by that is meant a ceaseless giving of jewelry and a continuous lap-dog kind of attention. She has no real affection for him, if New York society is any test. She has indeed but little time to see him, with her stupid culture societies, her literary clubs, her musical symphony matinees and her outrageous ideas of entertaining. The American woman is indeed adaptable and makes an original if sometimes vulgar, hostess. But she is always posing, either socially, intellectually or otherwise. An Englishwoman desires dignified rest, an American must have ostentatious notoriety. An American girl would rather have a dollar box of chocolates from Huyler's on Broadway than a three-dollar box from any other equally good "store." Her whole aim is to attain rather than to be happy; to conquer than to love. She cannot get away from the habit of valuing every pleasure in so many dollars. She is proud of her engagement because her ring cost $1,000, and came from Tiffany's, on Fifth avenue. She is a lover of romance, and yet she is not really sentimental. True, she knows how to put her clothes on and how to hold herself up. And yet, though she is always well dressed, she and her sisters are absolute slaves to fashion. If the fashion for a red coat comes in, not a few, but every American girl shopping on Fifth avenue, or Broadway, will literally paint the streets red. Yes, there is something very attractive, quite repelling, infinitely amusing, and never uninteresting, about this nervous, excitable, bright being. One cannot ever deny that the American girl is a queen among women. She is, indeed; but she is majestic in marble. She is admirable, she is adorable, but she is not lovable—except when distance lends enchantment to the view. self-supporting does so in order to relieve others of the burden of her support; she works to save others from working for her. And this generous spirit of self-sacrifice cannot surely be called unwomanly! To say that a woman is unwomanly because she supports herself is like saying that a man is unmanly because he refuses to strike his father. No one believes that women should be idle, but there are those who think that a woman who remains in her home and who embroiders doilies that are as useless to everyone else as they are to herself is "womanly," although she is as clearly wasting her time as if she were really unoccupied. Women are individuals as well as men and they possess individual talents, energies and capabilities. It is on the face of it absurd to assume that because one-half of the human race are women, they must all do the same thing. Some women are good cooks; so are some men. But when a woman not only can't cook, but hasn't the wherewithal to get even a breakfast, it is almost too severe to condemn her as "unwomanly" for doing something else. There are other parts of the world's work to be done, and if they do the part they are best fitted for they should be praised and not blamed. There is something of degradation in the idea of dependence and something of nobility in the idea of service. There is little work that women can do in the homes these days that is economically useful. They must choose between going out of the home and being independent, and staying in the home and being a burden. In the one case she enters into the world's service and becomes a "soldier of the common good;" in the other case she is served—and probably by those who have already borne their measure of the world's burden. There was a day when it was manly for men to wear perfumed ringlets, lace ruffles and satin knickerbockers; there was a day when it was "womanly" to be pale and anemic, delicate and altogether useless. Those days are gone. Womanliness now is measured by usefulness instead of uselessness, and every woman is "womanly" in so far as she fulfills the possibilities of service that are afforded her. Of the 2,000,000 women in our factories, the great majority are there because it is the chance for work that the world has offered them. The work is not easy and it is not always pleasant, but it brings with it the self-respect that is born of independent self-support. If such work is unwomanly, then service is unwomanly and womanliness is something to be scorned. SHALL THE NEGRO SNITCH? We are indebted to Judge Lindsey for a new word—coin of the street used among newsboys. "Don't snitch," It means don't let your tongue get away. Don't implicate your friends. President Roosevelt has given a forceable knock to this doctrine. There is supposed to be honor among thieves if there is to be none in the army. Three whole companies of the old fighting Twenty-fifth U. S. infantry were dishonorably discharged and mustered out of service because they would not act the part of traitors and inform upon their comrades. L There was once a time when the Negro was glad to tell all he knew and more besides. It was this loquaciousness that kept the masters well informed of all that went on at the palntation and the Negro in cowardice and fear, but the Negro has changed since then. Now he has learned to keep his tongue even though he himself suffers, others are protected from unjust penalties. It is no business of the Negro to form himself into posses to run down criminals since the white man makes the law, interprets it and is paid to execute it. He alone is the paid agent of the law to enforce it and why should the Negro be asked to do the very thing that the whites are elected and commissioned to do. Besides if the Negro should do this he would only be turning offenders over to waiting and ever ready mobs who defeat the courts and wreak summary vengeance at will. Before the Negro is asked to ferret out the criminals let us be assured that the law and not mobs will try the cases. If the men elected and appointed to enforce the law are too ignorant or too cowardly to do so, let them acknowledge that law and order are a failure, but not ask that self-respecting colored people should be informers and peace officers. Instead of the enlisted men in companies B. C. and D. being dishonorably discharged, they ought to walk out feeling they are honorable in their purpose not to snitch and betray their comrades in arms to instant death at the hands of Texas outlaws. All honor to the noble boys of the fighting Twenty-fifth. We think more of you now than ever. That the action of President Roosevelt is not up to his declared policy of a "square deal" is concurred by many whites as well as colored is evidenced by the press as well as private expressions. A committee appointed by the People's Sunday Alliance has waited on Senator Patterson and addressed letters to Congressman Bonynge and Secretary of War Taft and Senator Foraker of Ohio urging that this matter be made a subject of Congressional inquiry as the treatment in this case seems unusual, hasty and harsh in the extreme. The Negro has decided to no longer be quiescent but to contend manly for those rights that are withheld while so-called leaders are advising patience. Some of the colored citizens of Portland, led by Mr. Samuel Washington, have about perfected arrangements to organize an Elk's lodge. The announcement has caused quite a commotion in the ranks of some of the white Elks. They are quoted through the press as having said that "such a thing will not be tolerated in Oregon." A committee, so the rumor goes, composed of the white Elks, will go before the next legislature and use their influence to have a law passed to prevent what they characterize a fraud. But in the meantime that the promoters are going ahead with their organization, and that by the time the legislature meets they will be a compact body of Elks. The same protest has been made in several states, and in two instances it ran the gauntlets of different courts, and in each instance the colored brothers won out. It it comes to this in Oregon, they expect the same result.—Portland Advocate. American Girl as Compared with Her English Cousin By E. KEBLE CHATTERTON.

Not long since, in a Mississippi court, a colored man sued a neighbor for damages for killing his dog. Colonel M., defendant's lawyer, called Sam Parker, a negro, to prove that the dog was a worthless cur for whose destruction no damage ought to be recovered. "Sam, did you know this dog?" Colonel M. asked. "Yes, sah, I wer' pussonally acquainted wid dat dog." "Well, tell the jury what sort of a dog he was," said Colonel M. "He wer' a big yaller dog." "What was he good for?" Colonel M. asked. "Well, he wouldn't hunt; he wouldn't do gyard duty; he jes lay 'round an' eat. Dat make 'em call him wat they did." "Well, sir, what did they call him?" asked Colonel M. "Dey call him 'Lawyer,' sah." The Art of Burnt-Wood Workers. Burnt-wood workers are making beautiful things, and are certainly endeavoring to be original. Instead of simply making pipe and book racks, as they used to do, they are working along new lines. A jardiniere made of wood resembles green pottery, and is handsomely decorated with Chinese dragons in a burnt-work design. A nut bowl, which is about the size of a tall cracker jar, is full of tiny perforations. An artistic burnt design of wild roses and their leaves is applied on this surface. In Our Own Writing.

FROM TWENTY-TWO STATES Ex-Governor of New Hampshire in the Master's Chair—Formally Welcomed by Governor and Governor-Elect of Colorado. Denver.—Farmers from twenty-two states, delegates to the annual convention of the National Grange, Patrons of Husbandry, assembled at the Chamber of Commerce Wednesday morning and were called to order by Worthy Master Nahum J. Bachelder, former governor of New Hampshire, Standing committees were appointed and an adjournment taken until 2:30 o'clock. At the afternoon session the message of the worthy master, containing many important recommendations, was read, and the grange went into secret session. An open meeting was held at night, when the farmers were welcomed to the city and to Colorado by Gov. Jesse F. McDonald, A. J. Spengel, president of the Chamber of Commerce, Governor-Elect Buchtel and others. In his address Master Bachelder made special reference to legislation in favor of good roads. He suggested that a bill be drawn for presentation to the next Congress, asking an appropriation of $50,000,000, to be paid at the rate of $10,000,000 a year, and to be expended in building roads throughout the country and improving the condition of old highways. In speaking of the ship subsidy bill he referred to it as an iniquitous measure and said that the grange had helped to defeat it, and must be prepared to renew the fight during the next session of Congress. He spoke in enthusiastic terms of the proposed parcels post, and recommended that the grange take action at this meeting to give such a measure strong support. He ascribed the failure to enact the law to the opposition of the express companies, which he said were monopolistic, and to that of a few rural merchants. The opposition of the latter, he said, was due more to ignorance than anything else. The parcels post, he said, would be to the smallest of rural merchants an opportunity equal to that of his largest catalogue competitor, as far as mail order business is concerned. "The rural merchant," he said, "has the monopoly which has caused the decay of our villages to be feared, and not the parcels post, which is a step toward the abolishment of monopolies." As a result of Master Bachelder's recommendation, it is stated that the grange will at once take up the subject of a parcels post, and will appoint a committee to carry on a campaign in favor of it. Of the railroads, Master Bachelder had the same to say as of the express companies. That in the spirit of monopoly they prevent competition by preventing the building of new roads, although the increase in tonnage is such that they can no longer handle the business with the lines and equipment now in operation. As a remedy he suggested the construction of a ship canal connecting the Mississippi with the great lakes and with the Atlantic. Legislators who treat the farmers of the country with contempt should be punished accordingly, he said. He cited as examples of those whom the grange has punished, James W. Wadsworth of New York, chairman of the house committee on agriculture, and Charles H. Burton of Ohio. Both had been denied a re-election, he asserted, because the first had paid no attention to a communication from an organization with nearly 1,000,000 members, and the second had written a contemptuous answer. "The farmers of New York and Ohio who are members of the grange defeated these two men," he said, "and it should be a lesson to others." In his welcoming address at the night meeting Governor McDonald told the delegates that he hoped they would visit other sections of the state which has 3,000,000 acres of land under irrigation and much other land under cultivation without irrigation. He called their attention to the mines of Cripple Creek and other camps, which produced gold and silver valued at $55,000,000, and to the coal mines, which produced 11,000,000 tons of coal last year. Agriculture in this state, he declared, was just as important, and produced last year more than the mines in money value. The response to Governor McDonald was made by former Governor Bachelder of New Hamshire, who is the worthy master of the National Grange. He said that although in the forty years since the organization of the grange, this was the first meeting held in Colorado, yet there had long been a special reason for holding a convention here. This, he said, was the fact that the grange admits women to membership with equal privileges, and that the grange is favoring universal suffrage for men and women. "We appreciate the greeting you have given us," he said, "and we will assure you that while we are here you will need no extra policemen or bartenders, but when we leave you might do well to watch us in order that we do not make off with some of your grand scenery and invigorating air." Governor-Elect Buchtel made a happy speech and recited a chapter from Mr. Dooley relative to Roosevelt's visit to Colorado while vice president. Former Governor Charles J. Bell 65 Vermont proved to be the wit of the assembly. While defending the mountains of Vermont stoutly against the appellation of hills, he said that he didn't know whether he could see them or not when he returned. Suit for Commission. In the United States District Court at Denver on the 7th inst., a suit was filed by S. J. De Lan, in which Thomas F. Walsh and the Venture Corporation, Limited, are made joint defendants. Action is for commission of $287,500 which is alleged to be due for negotiating sale of mine. DIVORCE CONGRESS. In Session at Philadelphia Discusses Uniform Law. Philadelphia.—The National Congress on Uniform Divorce Laws in session in this city Tuesday adopted about one-third of the proposed uniform bill as drafted by the committees appointed at the meeting held in Washington nine months ago. The portions adopted include seven causes under which annulment of marriages may be obtained and six causes for absolute divorce. They are infidelity, felony, bigamy, desertion, habitual drunkenness and intolerable cruelty. Delegates from twenty-seven states and the district of Columbia and representatives of all Protestant denominations, who attended the international conference on marriage, together with a Catholic prelate, Bishop Shanley of North Dakota, attended the sessions, which were presided over by Governor Pennypacker. The important changes in the bill are the striking out of all references to proceedings and practice, leaving the questions for the various legislative bodies to pass upon. The committee decided that so long as open hearings are held and the laws provide for direct service on the respondent and fix a punishment for collusion, the measure need not conform to any fixed rule. The causes for which divorce, can be granted are infidelity, felony, bigamy, desertion, habitual drunkenness and intolerable cruelty, and in the discussion of the various sections there was little opposition to any or these provisions, but in the list of causes for annulment of marriage, opposition was presented against several. The Daring Suggestion of Noted Kent tucky Engineer. Louisville, Ky.—A plan for a concrete maritime highway across the Isthmus of Panama, to be used as a substitute for the ditch as at present projected, has been submitted to President Roosevelt by Col. Alexander Hogeland, known throughout the United States as the "father of the curfew." The plan, which has been the subject of correspondence between the President and the engineering department and Colonel Hogeland, is now in the hands of the canal commission. It contemplates the building of a concrete highway at the bottom thirty feet above sea level, and which will resemble a viaduct in passing the low portions of the isthmus. The advantages claimed for it are that it will allow the rivers to be passed under it, thereby obviating the dangers resulting from freshets; doing away with the necessity of impounding a vast quantity of water from the Chagres and other rivers in the artificial lake by the Gatun dam, and finalizing avoiding the necessity of an immense annual expense for dredging and keeping the canal clear and especially where it passes through the artificial lake. CHICO CANAL PROJECT. Will Irrigate Land in Pueblo and Otero Counties. Pueblo, Colo.—Plats of the canals and reservoirs of the Chico irrigation enterprise were filed Monday in the office of the county clerk. It is estimated that over 30,000 acres of land will be added to the cultivated area of this portion of the state on completion of the Chico irrigation canal. The total cost will be $315,000 for reservoirs and $191,500 for canals and laterals. There will be eighteen reservoirs and basins with a total capacity of 879,604,596 cubic feet of water derived from the Chico and other creeks, storm water and overflow. The water from these sources will be carried to the reservoirs for storage and sent to the land to be irrigated by a system of canals and laterals, the total capacity of which is 4,029 cubic feet. The principal canal will be 57,984 feet in length and eighteen feet wide on the bottom. Most of the land to be irrigated lies in the eastern part of Pueblo and the western part of Otero county. Will Give Away Millions. Galveston, Texas.—Pedro Alvarado, owner of the Palmilo mine at Parral, Chihuahua, Mexico, whose wealth is estimated at more than $150,000,000, announces that he will distribute $10,000,000 or more to the poor of Mexico within thirty days. This young man, who six years ago was a poor miner, recently offered to pay the government debt of Mexico, but the offer was declined. He says he obtained his vast wealth from the earth which is a part of Mexico, and he proposes that his poor countrymen share his good fortune. His plan is not to give cash, but private homes and lands for the poor, and equip them so they can earn a living at their trades or on plantations. High Over Mont Blanc. Milan—Details of the trip of the balloon Milano, which left the grounds of the international exposition last Sunday arrived at Aix-Les-Bains, after having traveled over Mount Blanc, have been received. The balloon traveled northward over Mont Blanc, and as it progressed the air grew colder and colder. Below them the travelers could see nothing except an extensive field of snow, broken by sharp peaks and dotted with frozen Alpine lakes. The highest altitude reached was 20,500 feet. The rarified atmosphere made it necessary for the men to resort to their supply of oxygen to keep alive. Nevada Train Robbery Reno, Nev.—Armed bandits held up the Overland Limited westbound at Carlin Saturday night and escaped with the suit cases of passengers and the money sack of Conductor Conn The railroad men at Sparks state that they secured about $1,000 in all. A posse was formed and a pitched battle took place at the edge of the town, 100 shots being fired. No one is known to have been injured. Southern Pacific detectives and deputy sheriffs are now hot on the trail of the robbers. EDUCATOR SHOES Keep the child's foot as nature intended, as shown at the left.
