THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY NAPLES AND ITALY THE FOURTH ARTICLE IN THE SERIES CALLED ,THE MAN FATHEST DOWN" BY BOOKER WASHINGTON. VOL. XVII. NAPLES THE FOURTH ARTICLE IN THE MAN FATHEST DOWN" BY I had crossed Europe from North to South before I got my first glimpse of an emigrant bound for America. On the way from Vienna to Naples I stopped at midnight at Rome, and in the interval between trains I spent an hour wandering about in the soft southern air—such air as I had not found anywhere since I left my home in Alabama. In returning to the station my cusiosity was aroused, as I was passing in the shadow of the building, by what seemed to me a large vacant room near the main entrance to the station. As I attempted to enter the room I stumbled over the figure of a man lying on the stone floor. Looking farther, I saw something like forty or fifty persons, men as well as women, lying on the floor, their faces turned toward the wall asleep. The room itself was apparently bare and empty of all furniture. Ther was neither a bench nor a table, so far as I could see, in any part of the room. It seemed that, without any expectation of doing so, I had wandered into the room reserved for emigrants, and once accidentally upon one of the sights I most wanted to see in Italy, namely, a party of emigrants bound for America. As near as I could learn, these people were, for the most part, peasants, who had come in from the surrounding country, carrying what little property they possessed on their backs or tied up in little bundles in their arms, and were awaiting the arrival of the train that was to take them to the port from which they could take ship for America. I confess it struck me as rather pathetic that, in this splendid new and modern railway station, in which the foreign traveler and the native Italian of the upper classes were provided with every convenience and luxury, so little thought had been given to the comfort of these humble travelers, who represent the people in Italy who pay proportionately most of the taxes and who, by their patient industry and thrift, have contributed more than any other class to such progress as Italy has made in recent years. Later on I had an opportunity to pass through the country from which perhaps the majority of these emigrant had come. I traveled through a long stretch of country where one sees only now and then a lonesome shepherd or a wretched hut with one low room and a cow stall. I also visited some of the little villages which one sees clinging to the barren hilltops, to escape the poisonous mists of plains below. There I saw the peasants in their homes and learned something of the way in which the lowly people in the rural districts have been neglected and opposed. After that I was able to understand that it was no special hardship that these emigrants suffered at Rome. Perhaps many of them had never before slept in a place as clean and sanitary as the room the railway provided them. Early the next morning, as my train was approaching Naples, my attention was attracted by the large number of women I saw at work in the fields. It was not merely the number of women but the heavy wrought-iron hoes, of a crude and primitive manufacture, with which these women worked that aroused my interest. These hoes were much like the heavy tools I had seen the slaves use on the plantations before the Civil War. With these heavy instruments some of the women to be hacking the soil, apparently preparing it for cultivation; others were merely leaning wearily upon their tools, as if they were overtired with the exertion. This seemed quite possible to me, because the Italian women are slighter and not as robust as the women I had seen at work in the fields in Austria. I inquired why it was that I saw so many women in the fields in this part of the country, for I had understood that Italian women as a rule, did not go so frequently into field work as the women do in Austria and Hungary. I learned that it was because so many of the men, who formerly did this work, had emigrated to America. As a matter of fact, three-fourths of the emigrants from Italy to America comes from Sicily and the other southern provinces. There are villages in lower Italy which have been practically deserted. There are others in which no one but women and old men are left behind, and the whole population is more than half supported by the earnings of Italian laborers in America. There are cities within twenty miles of Naples which have lost within ten years two-thirds of their inhabitants. In fact, there is one little village not far from the city of which it is said the entire male population is in America. Ten days later, coming North from Sicily, I passed through the farming country South of Naples from which large numbers of emigrants go every year to the United States. It is a sad and desolate region. Earthquakes, malaria antiquated methods of farming, and the general neglect of the agricultural population have all contributed to the miseries of the people. The land itself—at least such portion of it as I saw—looks old worn-out, and decrepit; and the general air of desolution is emphasized when, as happened in my case, one comes suddenly, in the midst of the desolate landscape, upon some magnificient and lonely ruin, representing the ancient civilization that flourished here two thousand years ago. Statistics which have been recently collected, after an elaborate investigation, by the Italian Government, show that, in a general way, the extent of emigration from southern Italy is in direct ratio to the neglect of the agricultural classes. Where the wages are smallest and the conditions hardest, there emigrants has reached the highest mark. In other words, it is precisely from those parts of Italy where there are the greatest poverty, crime and ignorance that the largest number of emigrants from Italy go out to America, and, I might add, the smallest number return. Of the 511,935 emigrants who came to North and South America from Italy in 1906, 380,615 came from Sicily and the southern provinces. (TO BE CONTINUED.) BIG SHAKE- UP AT FISK BIG SHAKE- UP AT FISK (From Nashville Globe.) With the close of the fiscal year at Fisk University comes a storm of surprises to the Negroes of Nashville. The first great surprise and one that caused general indignation was the attempt of the President to draw a color line on commencement day. An article appeared in the daily papers that said Dr. Gates had assured the white people of the city that if they would come out to hear the address of Dr. Stowe on commencement day, he would provide separate seats for them. When this became known the Negroes of Nashville were indignant beyond expression and had it not been that they were so anxious to hear the discussion of the civil war by so distinguished a man as Dr. Stowe, it is very likely that the attendance at this year's commencement would have been less than it has in many years. As it was, the Negroes consoled themselves as best they could with the probability that the president had been misquoted. Many of them were heard to say that they knew the abrupt manner in which Dr. Gates goes at things and how the daily papers misconstrue the meaning of statements but with all of that they are still complaining with a deep feeling of regret that anything might be said by the president that could be construed in such a way. The Negroes always looked upon Fisk University as theirs, in fact, they know that Negroes made it possible for the institution to be what it is, and while it is under the Board of the American Mission Society, it is a fact nevertheless that the famous Jubilee Singers, through their songs raised the money to build Jubilee Hall and a great portion of that to erect some of the other building, so in truth the Negroes of this country can say that Fisk University is theirs. Were it not so, they would not feel that there is any justification whatever for any president drawing the color line at commencement to get a certain class of white people to visit the institution to hear an address on the civil war. They know that the best white people of this city have always visited the university on any occasion when they desired to, and they believed that those who are interested in the institution will continue to do so. The matter was passed off as lightly as possible, but is not forgotten by the people. The fact is also becoming known that five of the Negro teachers have been let out and one of the vacancies has already been filled by a white person. In the case of some of these, the people know full well that they were competent and their integrity is above question. Some of them are Fisk graduates and have taken special post-course studies in their special line of work, but nevertheless they have been turned away from their own school and it is the general opinion that the vacancies will be filled by white teachers. This matter has a ranssed the Negroes not only of Nashville, but of the whole country. There were twelve Negro teachers in all at Fisk University when this fiscal year closed, and half of them were let out, leaving only six on the faculty. It is not known whether more will be dismissed or not. This number is sufficient to arouse the Negroes of the country. They argue that it is useless to educate the Negroes to do professional work if the door of hope in their own institution is to closed in their faces. RACE NEWS The United Brother of Friendship and the Sisters of the Mysterious Ten, at Lexington, Ky., are enlarging their hall by an addition which will cost $30,000. Afto-Americans continue to make good along special and general lines of industry where education and special skill are required. An instance in this regard is shown in the airship recently invented by Oscar R. Cassell. Mr. Cassell's invention is on exhibition at Spalding's sporting goods house. Forty-second street, New York. tect themselves. The Africans ought to know by this time that they may not hope for any justice from the white man who have ur-surped their soil in the name of civilization unless they fight for it. THE NEGRO NATIONAL EDUCA-TIONAL CONGRESS COMING TO DENVER. For the first time in the history of its organization, and on its second anniversary, the state of Colorado will entertain the National Negro Educational Congress at Denver August 12-15, 1911. It is quite significant that the Congress at the height of its accomplishments and in the zenith of its power meets in the state that For the first time in the history of old Grinnell College the Spaulding prize of $50 and a scholarship was won by Redmon of Colfax, Iowa, the subject of his oration being "The African in America." There were five contestants, the second place was won by W. H. Young, subject, "Elijah P. Lovejoy, the Martyr." Young Redman is the only colored student at present in this college. The Julia White Priscilla Home for aged colored people was recently dedicated at La Mott, Pa., a suburb of Philadelphia. The institution is named for its founder, who died before the work was completed. Mrs. White was a philanthropist in the truest sense. The work of the home is being looked after at present by the Zion Baptist church, Philadelphia, of which the Rev. Dr. E. W. Moore is pastor. The colored people of Los An-Angeles are in a an excellent way to have a $100,000 Y. M. C. A. building. They expect to take advantage of the Rosenwald philanthropy, $25,000, that he has offered all colored communities that could raise $75,500,4ths bringing the total up to $100,000. The white Y. M. C. A. of Los Angeles taking note of the earnestness of the colored workers, has agreed to stand one half of the amount, $37,500, necessary to be raised. The finished looks promising. Not only here in the United States but also in Africa, the black man's own continent, he is up against lynch law. From time to time we have chronicled the various laws passed by the whites in Africa against tue natives, and have also been happy to relate, in many instances, the war-like determination of the natives to pro- NO 42 tect themselves. The Africans ought to know by this time that they may not hope for any justice from the white man who have ur-surped their soil in the name of civilization unless they fight for it. THE NEGRO NATIONAL EDUCA TIONAL CONGRESS COMING TO DENVER. For the first time in the history of its organization, and on its second anniversary, the state of Colorado will entertain the National Negro Educational Congress at Denver August 12-15, 1911. It is quite significant that the Congress at the height of its accomplishments and in the zenith of its power and prestige, meets in the state that has more beautiful and elaborate scenery than any other state in the Union. At every turn, huge mountains of rocks garbed in mantles of perpetual snow seem to have been so placed by nature. At Colorado Springs, the wonderful views of "The Garden of the Gods," "The Cave of the Winds," "The Seven Falls" and the gigantic Pike's Peak are seen. The peak wears its hood of snow the year around and many tourists are attracted by its grandeur. Traversing the beautiful Arkansas Valley, the Pittsburg of the West is reachen, but more recently it became the center of a vast and fertile agricultural region, with stupendous irrigation projects in effect. It is "the gate way to the Mountain West." One of the most delightful scenic spots on the continent is Grand lake, the largest body of water in Colorado. Thousands of tourists go there every year. You can take a train in Denver in the morning and at noon stand at an elevation of 11,600 feet above the sea, surrounded by great banks of eternal snow. It has no equal. Owing to the matchless scenic advantages it embraces, Colorado must be seen to be appreciated. The following persons have been asked to serve on the following committees: Committee on Music.—W. B.

CANADIAN WAR IS RENEWED SENATORS CUMMINS AND BORAH ATTACK RECIPROCITY AGREEMENT. ADMINISTRATION HIT CLAIM POLITICAL PARTIES NOW AFTER VOTE OF THE CITIES Western Newspaper Union News Service. Washington.—Senator Cummins attacked the reciprocity measure as legislation unjust to the agricultural interests of the country and Senator Borah denounced it as a Republican betrayal of the farming interests. The Senate gave but partial attention to the speeches, although they were among the most important that will be made against the bill. Several times a call of the Senate was demanded. Senator Nelson of Minnesota finally proposed that, as so little attention was given to the subject, the Senate take a recess until November or December. Senator Cummins attacked not only the construction of the reciprocity agreement itself, which he said put the whole burden of free trade upon the farmer without giving him any benefits in the gulse of reduction of duty on manufactured products, but he also criticised the power exercised by the President to negotiate it, and to bring it to the point of a definite agreement between the two countries. "I know that the day has come for the farmer," declared Senator Cummins, "to be excluded from the benefits of the protective tariff. The degree has been written; it needs only the official signature for the time to begin to exclude him from the company of the manufacturers of the United States." Senator Borah quoted from Republican platforms, campaign documents, campaign arguments and definitions as to policy, to show that the abolition of the protection on farm products was a reversal of all Republican policy. Senator Borah said both political parties were now striving for the vote of the cities and the support of the press. "Instead of saying both political parties, you should say the Democratic party and the administration," interjected Senator Bristow. "I am not willing to concede that President Taft in the crusade in which he is now engaged for free trade in agricultural products, represents the Republican party of this nation. He does not represent the majority of the Republican members of the House or Senate, and I believe he does not represent the sentiments of a majority of the Republicans of the country." "The administration now in control," said Senator Borah, "came into power on a pledge to protect the American market for the American farmer. The time was when the farmer was not disputed within this chamber in saying such legislation as this was destructive of his prosperity. Then every Republican in the Senate was his attorney. Now, because he calls in a New York attorney to present his case before the finance committee he is accused of being the friend and companion of the trusts and the big interests." Senator Borah said the establishment of free trade in agricultural products was either a denial of the principles for which the Republican party had heretofore stood, or a "coarse and brutal betrayal of the most loyal constituency the party organization has ever had." "No page in the poliical history can squall this betrayal by the Republican party of this great and loyal constituency," he said. Senator Borah said he sympathized with the press in its desire for relief from the oppressive combination that is said to control the production of print paper. He objected, however, to the attempt to "settle the trust question at the custom houses." He declared that action against a paper trust, if it existed, should be by civil and criminal procedure in the courts. Morse Denied Release.

Cripple Creek.A slave in Virginia before the war, Nancey Carter, aged seventy-five, and a well known character here in the early days, has grubstaked two prospectors out of savings accumulated by years of cooking, washing and other menial work. The men have gone to Park county and are expected to locate claims near Alma. Greeley.—A suit has been filed in the District Court of Larimer county by the Larimer and Weld Reservoir Company against State Engineer Charles W. Comstock and various assistants in his department. The reservoir company complains that it has been prevented from storing water this season although it has water rights dating back to 1869. Golden to Celebrate Fourth. Golden.—Golden is headed for a sane and sensible Fourth of July with a hummer of a program for the big celebration. There will be something for the old and the young alike, for the program is a long and live one, including baseball, fireworks, bronchosting, music and lots of good things to eat. Liberal prizes will be given to winners in all sorts of games and sports. Government Will Compromise. Government Will Compromise. Palisade.—The government is willing to compromise with the Palisades orchardists. If the fruit growers make god their talk of giving the government right of way through the Stub and Price ditches, the government will abandon its plans for building a canal between the two ditches and will furthermore consent to build both a gravity and a pumping system. The orchardists are given to July 10 to make good their talk. If on that day they fail in their promises, the government will go ahead with its original plans and will build the canal, which will mean the destruction of a number of orchards. Reservoir Breaks; Damage is Heavy. Grand Junction.—The Atkinson reservoir on Grand mesa broke its bonds and released water enough to irrigate the entire Plateau valley for three summer months. Down Bull creek the mass rushed, sweeping bridges and flumes before it and drowning many cattle. It washed out haystacks and small outbuildings belonging to ranchers on Bull creek and swelled the Grand river enough to do considerable damage to riprapting along the banks. Fear was held out in the lower part of the Grand valley that a second Johntown flood had been suffered, but the cold weather on the top of Grand mesa had kept the snow from melting as early as usual. Greeley Wins Big Victory. St. Louis.—In the United States Circuit Court of Appeals the city of Greeley won an important victory, when an opinion was handed down affirming the decision of the lower court in its suit against the Union Pacific Railroad Company. The opinion was written by Judge W. H. Munger and was concurred in by Judges Henry T. Reed and W. H. Sanborn with slight exceptions. The suit was to clear the title to the road's alleged right of way from Denver to Cheyenne and to procure injunctions prohibiting interference with the right of way, which, by an act of Congress, the railroad claimed to be 400 feet. Judge Munger concluded that the property in question was for public and not for private use, and that the part of it that Greeley wishes to use is not required for an alleged right of way and is not necessary for the road to discharge its duties to the public. He considers the road is fully barred from claiming it is entitled to possession of the entire 400 feet of the right of way and that the decree of the lower court was right. Judge Reed said the city has a right to lay streets across the right of way. The decision means the saving of $500,000 to Greeley, as there are many public improvements and business houses on the extra 300 feet claimed. It is believed that had the Union Pacific obtained a 400-foot right of way through Greeley, it would have fought for the same between Denver and Cheyenne, depriving farmers of hundreds of acres of cultivated fields. Will Not Abandon Fort Loyan Washington.—While in Washington C. A. Johnson, president of the Denver Chamber of Commerce, had an interview with the President, which had been arranged by Senator Guggenheim. The President assured him the people of Denver were unduly alarmed about Fort Logan; that it will not be abandoned. The proposed changes, he said, were simply in the form of recommendations, and there is quite a difference between recommendations and an order. LITTLE COLORADO ITEMS.

The colored man is not hard to please in politics. He may get pretty sore when you take away his bread and gravy, but give him a little molasses and he stops crying as quickly as a child wilt hparegoric. President Taft's policy of "no hope for the colored office-holder of the South" is almost forgotten now, since an assistant attorney general of the United States, a collector of revenue for Hawaii, a superintendent of Indian schools and a few lesser places have been given to the colored office seekers of the North. By next year our bloodthirsty ery for vengeance will have died away like a summer breeze. We don't really mean it when we threaten to bite a president's head off. If we get something nice and sweet, like a sucker on a stick, for instance, we soon go to sleep and forget our troubles. But don't let the sugar barrel get entirely empty, Mr. Politician, for if something sweet isn't coming from somewhere, the long, loud wail that strikes your ear in the dark night of the early autumn will be no false alarm. CHARGING ON THE WHITE HOUSE. EASTERN Negroes seem to be doing all the talking, all the fussing and all the fighting (among themselves) now-a-days, in the name of this down-trodden race of ours. A delegation called on President Taft the other day and presented a memorial on lynching, prepared by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and asked the President to submit a special message to Congress on the subject. Numerous other delegations, with far less weighty excuse, had preceded this one, and if the President is not fully informed of the wants of the colored brother, it is not the fault of the Eastern Negro. Yet the epidemic is not stayed, for the New England Baptist Missionary Convention, in session at Providence, R. L., adopted a proposition, the dispatches say, to have a delegation of 5,000 Negroes visit Washington with a committee of fifteen for spokesmen, to tell President Taft of the wrongs of the race in the South. The plan was proposed by a discarded Philadelphia minister, who has originated more dubious schemes and cleansed more tainted money than the average wild cat stock promoter dreams of, but the curious part of this mad charge of delegations of Eastern Negroes on the White House, is the suspicion which they seem to entertain for one another, which is reflected by the criticisms of the Eastern Negro press, whose first inklings upon the mooted subjects are generally gleaned from the Associated Press dispatches after the deadly delegation has got in its work. It is difficult to decide which is the more embarrassing—this endless avalanche of unwarranted delegations or the post mortem criticisms of the motives and arguments employed. Together they make a mess of the race question and expose a faecial condition of race leadership. No wonder that President Taft, and every other national executive, listens more attentively to one solid, sober-minded, deep-thinking man than to a hundred round-shouldered, burden-bearing, axe-grinding delegations. The President of the United States is a busy man, and though he may not desire to shut the White House door in the face of any company of pleading citizens, he is wilfully imposed upon when it is assumed that he knows nothing of the matters whose entire substance and purport is gathered from the press dispatches by these colored delegations. Seldom, if ever, are they matters with which the "delegated" ones are in direct local touch. They are usually the assumed, but unauthorized, expression of the feelings and sentiments of an entire race of people, and the arguments employed are seldom informing and often illogical. President Taft told the memorialists on lynching that while he sympathized deeply with the colored people, the remedy for this evil, which is nothing but murder, rests primarily with the state governments; a fact which we have declared repeatedly. The Negro press would do no harm if it should attack this officious delegation practice on all sides. It is a useless, weak, witless and obsolete method of advancing a peoples' interest. It gains us no respect from without and is no tonic to our own self-respect. It admits of too much skulduggery and flamboyant display on the part of hikers and political boosters and is not the proper resort of intelligent freemen. We should do as other races do. The right of petition should not be abandoned, but it should be exercised with force representative of the whole population, and be backed by an intelligent demonstration of our understanding of the sovereign power shared by us with the common electorate, in State and Nation.

THERS' OOM er of Curtis COLORADO THE GOVERNOR ISSUES CALL STATES AND TERRITORIES HAVING PUBLIC LAND TO MEET IN DENVER SEPT. 28, 29, 30. 18 STATES AFFECTED THE ISSUE IS: SHALL PUBLIC DO MAIN BE HELD BY NA- TIONAL GOVERNMENT. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver.—Following is the official call of the governor of Colorado for a Public Land Convention for eighteen public land states and territories, to be held in Denver September 28, 29 and 30, in accordance with a resolution of the state Legislature: In compliance with a resolution of the Eighteenth General Assembly of the State of Colorado, L John F. Shafroth, governor of said commonwealth, announce to the people of "those western states and territories having one million or more acres of public lands—reserved and unreserved—within their borders," a public Lands Convention to be held in the City, of Denver, Colorado, September 28, 29 and 30 of this year, for the purpose of discussing all questions, and taking such action as their wisdom may direct, relative to the proper administration of the public domain, the natural resources pertaining thereto, and the practical conservation thereof under state authority and of protesting against Congress enacting laws providing for the leasing of the natural resources of the West. In conjunction with the Legislative committee constituted for the purpose of formulating the necessary regulations for the convention, the following features have been provided: First: The following states and territories are embraced within the call, viz.: Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Idaho, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, Wyoming and Alaska. Second: All votes by roll-call to be by states and territories, and on the basis of five votes at large and one vote for each 1,000,000 acres, or majority fraction thereabove, of public lands within the respective states, insofar as each unit is represented by an accredited delegate. Third: Inasmuch as the province of the convention is for western people to determine upon questions pertaining to the interests of 'western states as affected by federal systems, it is made requisite for qualification that delegates shall have been resident taxpayers and voters within their respective states for the preceding three years. Fourth: The selection of delegates is provided as follows: The governors, senators and congressmen, and members of the state Legislature of each state and territory, and delegate of each territory and of Alaska, are hereby commissioned as delegates. Each governor may appoint thirty delegates. The mayor of each city may appoint one delegate for each 1,000 of population, but not to exceed a total of fifty. Each Chamber of Commerce, Board of Trade, Real Estate Exchange or other commercial bodies; each Board of County Commissioners; each Asso- Gives Reasons for Change. Washington. — Investigations designed to be of benefit to Denver and Fort Logan, are in progress before the Senate military committee and the House committee to investigate expenditures in the War Department. In the Senate committee hearing Maj. Gen. Arthur Murray, assistant chief of staff, explained at some length the reasons which induced the War Department to issue the orders to go into effect July 1st, establishing a system of division headquarters for the administration of the army and the abandonment in part of the system of departmental administration. He contended that the change would permit thirty-five officers now on duty at departmental headquarters to return to duty in the line of the army, that there would be saved $30,000 per annum in reduced rent, $24,000 on account of reduced commutation of quarters, $165,000 clerk hire, $26,000 messenger hire; a total saving per annum of $245,000. In addition there would be a considerable saving on fuel, lights, etc. Marries Former Chauffeur. Chicago.—Mrs. Grace Vellie Harper, $6,000,000 heiress, erstwhile social figure in New York, Chicago and Rock Island, Ill., who figured in a $150,000 alienation suit, has married Sidney Harris, her former coachman and chauffeur. The announcement of the marriage came from York Beach, Maine. With only a few friends present, the marriage ended a gay weekend party. clation of Stock Growers, of Lumbermen, of Forestry, of Irrigation; each Horticultural or Agricultural organization, may appoint ten delegates. Each governor is requested to appoint a state executive committee of, to co-operate with the Colorado executive committee—J. Arthur Eddy, chairman, Denver, Colorado. It should be known that there is now seriously proposed, and may be crystallized into law at the next regular session of Congress, a new and revolutionary National policy pertaining to the public lands, and their attendant natural resources, that demands the serious and earnest consideration of every citizen of the Republic. Not only does this new system affect our economic and business interests, but it seriously threatens the principle of home rule in the conduct of our local affairs. The real issue is, plainly and distinctly, whether the public domain—other than the little remaining farming lands—shall be held in perpetuity by the National government free from taxation by the states, to be administered through leasehold for revenue for the federal treasury, and under bureaus at the National capitol. As taxes upon property in the western states for thirty years equal its value, perpetual ownership by the National government free from taxation, would effect a deprivation of tax revenue to the states equal to the value of those lands every thirty years. In other words, it would cost those states the value of the public domain every thirty years and yet the states never own the same. A rental or lease based upon the output of natural resources is a tax upon production, and a tax upon production is invariably paid by the consumer. Such policy would compel the western states to bear an undue proportion of the burdens of the National government. No other states have ever been compelled to pay royalties upon their natural products, why should we? Our wealth must consist, very largely, in those very features, the tax revenue from which is so essential to the maintenance of state government. Even the raw land itself is withdrawn from state taxation. If our people are to pay a tax on the product of our natural resources, viz.: Coal, oil, gas, phosphates, and upon water powers, grazing, etc., equity demands that tax should pass into the treasuries of the respective states, where it is so greatly needed. These are the conditions which confront us. It rests entirely with the people of the West whether they will acquiesce in this proposed new order of things. The President is our authority, through the medium of his message of December 6, 1910, that these are not questions pertaining to partisan politics. Hence, those of all political faiths can unite on common ground for the defense of the West. This convention is designed as an instrument through which the will of the people of the public land states can be expressed. With cordial urgency, I respectfully press this invitation upon those of the states which are included in the foregoing list and apportionment. Given under my hand and the Executive Seal this 29th day of June, A. D. 1911. JOHN F. SHAFROTH, Governor of Colorado. Fight Behind Locked Doors. Baltimore.—Behind locked doors and with no eye to mark whether play was fair or foul, two soldiers, Corporal James Smith and Private Arthur Rector, fought out a grudge with sword bayonets in their barracks at Fort Howard. Rector was badly cut about the legs and back, but Smith escaped with a gash under the eye. Seventeen stitches were taken in one of the wounds in Rector's legs and twenty-one in another. Taft Urges Reforms. New York.—There is no legislation—I care not what it is—tariff, railroad, corporation or of a general political character, that at all equals in importance the putting of our banking and currency system on the sound basis proposed in the national monetary commission plan." So declared President Taft to a big gathering of bankers and men of prominence in the financial and business world. Falls Eight Stories; Unhurt. New York—Evan Sherman, 50 years old, fell from the eighth story of the Scott & Bowne building and half an hour later in St. Gregory hospital, with but two slight scratches on his knees as a reminder of his drop of nearly 200 feet, was describing his experiences while in the air. This is the second fall Sherman has had, once before dropping from the fourth floor of a building in which he was working as a painter. Women Dig Church Cellar. Hutchison.-Hutchison women have begun the digging for the Hutchison Methodist church. The congregation of the church since its organization has held its meetings at the town hall. The women of the church raised money enough to pay for the actual construction work, but not enough to pay the laborers to dig the basement. So they formed a pick and shovel brigade.

HAY AND FORAGE LEAD WHEAT COMES SECOND WHILE CORN SHOWS VERY MA- TERIAL INCREASE. Western Newspaper Union Ne as Service. Washington.—Statistics relative to the leading crops for she state of Colorado collected at the Thirteenth Decennial Census, April 15, 1910, are contained in an official statement is: sued by Acting Census Director Falk: ner. It is based on tabular sum- maries prepared under the direction of Dr. Le Grand Powers, chief statisti: cian for agriculture in the Bureau of ‘the Census. The figures are prelimi- ‘nary and subject to slight revision Tater, when a few other farms, whose ‘returns, now incomplete, will be in- cluded in the final tables. It is not expected that these additions will materially modify the ammounts. The leading crops in 1909, ranked in the order of valuation, were: Hay and forage, $17,282,000; wheat, $6.64, 000; oats, $4,177,000; potatoes, $3,705, 000; corn, $2,674,000, and barley, $1, 101,000. Increase in Hay and Forage.
