THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY PLEA FOR NE-GRO FARMERS world Made up Two Classes of People. Negro Very Slow to Learn Who Are His Friends and Who His Vampires. Negro Prosperity Means Prosperity All Around VOL. XVIII. PLEA FOR GRO FA world Made up Two Classes to Learn Who Are His Fri pires. Negro Prosperity M When we were children they used to tell us a story about a man who owned a goose that laid one golden egg every day; but the man was an avaricious man and wanted to get a great many golden eggs at once, and so killed his goose—with very disappointing results. This ancient legend has many applications. Our world is made up of two classes of people those who are content to get rich slowly, increasing their wealth along with the general prosperity of the country, and those who must get rich right away, even though they must destroy some other means of production in the process. These two classes show themselves very quickly when they come to deal with ignorant Negroes, and pre-eminately with country Negroes. The Negro of the farm is usually a very simple-hearted person, easily imposed on, and it is a true test of a man's honesty when he deals with one of them. Unfortunately the poor Negro is often very slow to learn who his friends and who his vampires. There are plenty of honest merchants in every county, but the Negro often falls into and stays in the hands of the other kind. There are some people who do not believe that any Negro has a right to get rich, and are actually indignant when a colored man gets to the place where he can afford to live like prosperous white men. Among this class there seems to be a sort of fear that Negro prosperity means white poverty; that if the Negroes are allowed to accumulate property they will soon rule the country, and so use every effort to keep him from saving anything. There are land owners who refuse to sell him land. Money lenders overcharge him, and merchants who encourage him to buy on credit in order to keep him continually in debt. Now, the man who tries to keep the Negro farmer in poverty is of the same class as the man in the fable who killed the goose. The The two races are going to get rich or remain poor together. Negroes prosperity means prosperity all around. At least one-sixth of wealth of this country, and a much larger proportion in the State at large, is the creation of Negro farmers, and the more these Negro farmers raise the more there will be for all of us. Where a farmer owns nothing but one mule and one plow he cannot produce much. If that farmer could save a little from year to year and buy better implements and better fertilizers we would all feel the effects of his increased crops. It ought to be a fixed policy of us, who are in authority, to encourage the black farmer in every way. Our colored farmers are, as a rule, good people; they are law-abiding, peacable and temperate. There are some petty thieves among them, we must admit, and their moral relations with each other not always commendable, but when all this has been said there are few places in the world where life and property are safer than in the Black Belt; and this is especially true in those sections where many of them own their own farms. It gives a man self-respect and a feeling of responsibility to own property and have to take care of it. We are glad to see some good institutions started among the Negro farmers. One of the best of these is the Farmers' Union, that is establishing local unions in every county. These unions meet one or two times every year and discuss methods of improving rural conditions. They always welcome white visitors and are glad to get advice and encouragement from them. There are among the Negroes some of the most earnest and tireless workers for the good of their race to be found anywhere. We ought to know these leaders. They are outspoken and uncompromising in their opposition to the soloon and to the loose living so common among their people. A few have caught a vision of better morals and higher standards of life and they are diligently preaching their doctrines in the highways and hedges. Let us help them on. The general level of any country will rise with the rise of the Negro. A few years ago while traveling through Sumter county I met a young physician in the Black Belt, and during our conversation he gave voice to a sentiment so noble that it deserves quotation: "He is a very poor white man, and a very poor American citizen who is afraid to take his chances on equal footing with any man of any nation. Let the Negro rise as high as he can; for every step upward that he takes I will take an upward step myself, and I intend to keep as far ahead of him as I am now. And if it takes competition with Negroes to bring out the best that is in me, then thank God for the Negro." The Negro at best will always be a comparatively poor man, and will, as far ahead as any of us can see, occupy a subordinate position; he is not going to overtop the Anglo-Saxon. Let us lay aside those foolish fears and lend a helping hand that he may rise as high as his native capabilities can carry him.—Tuscaloosa Times-Gazette. STRANGE FREAK OF NATURE Black White Twins Born of Negro Parents Philadelphia, Pa., Sept. 5.—The medical fraternity is deeply interested in twins who are children of Negro Parents. Marie Boner, aged five months and a few days, is as black as her heart of Africa ancestors were. On the other hand, Sallie Boner, likewise aged five month and a few days, and a twin sister to Marie, is much whiter than the average Caucasian baby. Doctors say that it is nothing more or less than the unusual but well authenticated atavism or manifestation of a racial strain that has been submerged for generations, and finally crops out unexpectedly. The case of Marie and Sallie is all the more unusual because of their being twins—one black and the other white. The doctors declare that they have records of cases where a single baby has betrayed the submerged strain of another race, but that atavism has seldom manifested itself in this manner. Atavism is not peculiar to any race. The same freak of nature might develop in the offspring of white persons. Marie and Sallie are at this moment snuggled side by side in a cot in the day camp of the Chestnut street recreation pier and are oblivious absolutely of the rudely curious visitors who find them a source of wonderment. Both are as healthly as children can be, and their chief recreation lies in chasing each other—like two cubs—around their trundle cot, and eventually falling into a terrific struggle for supremacy. Maybe race supremacy is the crux of their baby antagonism, and maybe it's merely the joy of being on the top of the windswept pier away from the sordidness and fetidness of the streets and alleys. There are many wonderful conjectures about Marie and Sallie. Their mother died when they were born, and as far as their father knows there may have been the blood of the white man in Mamma Boner's veins. Friends of Mamma Boner say that it must have been four generations ago that the Negro strain was broken. The grand-parents of the twins came from Georgia. Sallie is absolutely white. She is not green nor yet blue. Neither is there the slightest indication of her Ethiopian parentage in her hair. Her lips are full, but not the thick, supersensual, sagging sagging lips of the Negro. As a matter of fact, there are scores of Caucasians to be seen every day in Chestnut street whose are heavier and thicker. Her eyes are as blue as corn flowers, and so fair and delicate is her skin that the blue veins beneath can be traced along their forked way for inches. Her nails are pink and delicately shaped. Her little nose is going to be aquiline and daintily modeled. It 13 of no advantage to describe Marie. Marie is the typical pick-aninny—just as cunning, just as clean and equally bright as her white sister. To make the distinction all the more vivid, Marie's chubby little legs are so bowed that she would easily represent the letter O if stood on her minute feet. Sallie's are as straight as legs can be. Now the future of Marie and Sallie is no mean thing to contemplate. Some enterprising vaudeville man might teach the odd sisters to do a "sister act." Already several well-known doctors are interested in the twins and are preparing to have the children reared where they can watch their development. Both are pretty to a degree, and, while Sallie's hair now has brunette, inclinations, the nurces say that it is not unlikely that it will turn blonde. A. PROPER TRIBUTE When the colored Grand Army veterans from Louisiana and Mississippi who are in attendance at the National Encampment in Rochester visited the grave of Frederick Douglass and placed upon it flowers brought from the South, they paid a graceful and merited tribute to one of the most distinguished members of their race, and to a man richly deserving the honor. Frederick Douglass was a remarkable personality, and the story of his life is a splendid testimonial to the possibility of great achievements by those of African blood. Born of a slave mother and himself a slave in infancy and youth, he developed a love for education, learned to read and write under the most discouraging conditions, escaped from bondage and worked at the severest toil and in the humblest capacities while ac RACE NEWS Rev. H. N. Newsome, D. D., president of the Safety Banking and Realty Co., Mobile, Ala., writes that the bank has been doing business about one year and four months and has handled nearly $160,000. They own $31,000 worth of real estate. They have nearly 4,000 depositors and 120 stockholders. Each officer is under haevy bond in the National Surety Co., of New York City. Boston, August 31.—William H. Lewis, the assistant attorney general of the United States, declared tonight that he would not resign his membership in the American Bar Association, to which he was elected last Tuesday, notwithstanding certain southern members of the society today expressed themselves strongly against the admission of the Boston colored man to membership Nashville, Tenn., Aug. 29.—A Negro city has been planned for Hortense Dickson county. Monday a meeting will be held there and option held on 1,358 acres taken up. The United Helping Society of Tennessee is back of of the project having already built a number of houses for colored people at Antioch. All available land there has been used. At Hortense an Agricultural and Industrial school has been projected and a widow's and orphan's home. Key West, Fla., August 30. The carpenter's labor union of this city ordered a strike here several days ago because of the discharge of two colored workmen. The difficulty, on the agreement of both the builders and the labor union, was submitted to a board of arbitration, which decided in favor of the labor union for the most and recommended the re-employment of the colored workmen. As a result of the strike the white and colored laborers are on much better terms in Key West. cumulating means for gaining further knowledge. While still a young man he displayed extraordinary ability as a speaker, and his oratory won him recognition that served different ends. For one thing, this former slave by his fiery eloquence was a potent force in arousing the heart and conscience of the American people to the inquity of human chattlehood, and he must be credited with great influence in bringing about the downfall of slavery. It is well for the colored race to look to such examples as Frederick Douglass, whose type is seen in these later days in such leaders as Booker Washington. Douglass and Washington stands as examples of what the colored man can do for himself and for those of his own race, and it is well to keep these examples clear before the eyes of all who may be inspired to emulate their virtues.—Troy (New York) Times. Boston, August 31.—William H. Lewis, the assistant attorney general of the United States, declared tonight that he would not resign his membership in the American Bar Association, to which he was elected last Tuesday, notwithstanding certain southern members of the society today expressed themselves strongly against the admission of the Boston colored man to membership There is no bar to the admission of colored members, but attorney Lewis ss the first of his race to be so honored. Indianapolis, Aug. 31st.—Rev. T. A. Smyth, pastor of Bethel A. M. E. church, who, with his accomplished wife, were refused service in a local restaurant because of their color; obtained warrants for the arrest of both the proprietor who made the rule to refuse service to colored Americans, and the waiter who enforced it. The law in Indiana is the same as the law in Michigan, and neither proprietors nor their assistants may refuse service in public places without becoming liable for a misdemeanor, and upon conviction be subject to either fine or imprisonment, or both. Doctor Smyhte sets a good example by refusing to submit to the indignity. Alexandria, La., Sept. 13.—To escape death when their homes were fired into many Negroes tonight are fleeing from Pineville, La. A large sawmill has closed for lack of laborers. Race feeling which has been strained since the killing of W.W. Ellis, a college student, by a Negro Sunday night reached a crisis today. The mayor called on the sheriff to protect citizens. The sheriff with deputies is on the scene tonight, and no more casualities have been reported. The better class of Negroes of Pineville held a mass meeting today to protest against the killing of Ellis. They offered aid to the whites in capturing his slayer. Soon after Ellis was killed armed citizens started in pursuit of the Negro who did the killing, but he eluded them. Persisting in their efforts to find the black, the citizens fired on two Negroes Monday night, slightly wounding both. They proved their innocence. Singing and Work. A man who sings at his work should remember that he isn't the only one on the job who may be entitled to happiness. - Atchison Globe.

Three years and three days in the federal prison at Leavenworth was the sentence imposed upon James M. Brenton, former mayor of Des Molnes, by Federal Judge Elliott, at Deadwood, S. D. Brenton pleaded guilty in the United States Circuit Court to selling liquor to Indians. That the ministry may be a paying proposition from a worldly standpoint is borne out by the fact that from wedding fees alone in his twenty-seven years as rector of Trinity Episcopal church of New Orleans, Rev. A. Gordon Bakewell has taken in $50,000. The commercial district of New Orleans was flooded when tanks containing millions of gallons of molasses burst. Scores of persons had narrow escapes from drowning and suffocation. Repairs are being made in boats propelled over the surface of the molasses.

All the American naval strength deemed necessary as a precaution is being concentrated as near as possible to the scene of serious disorders in China. Admiral Murdock has cabled the Navy Department that he sailed on his flagship Saratoga, accompanied by the cruisers New Orleans and Helena from Shanghai for Nanking.

Meeker.—Investigation by local officers of the forestry bureau of the Department of Agriculture has shown that 129 sections of land included in the White River forest reserve, in northwestern Colorado, is suitable either for grazing or for agriculture, and as a result it is to be eliminated and thrown open to entry. The land lies along the northern boundary of the reserve for the most part, and in it is much land that some time ago was made the subject of a paper by D. C. Beaman, who asserted that it was not properly included in the reserve, being more valuable for other purposes than for the timber growing upon it. D. L. & N. W. Railway Building. Greeley.—The D., L. & N. W. Railroad Company will immediately begin actual work on construction on its extension from Greeley to Severance.

Canada is barred from contesting. The cup rests on an ebony base and stands eighteen inches in height. Lethbridge is a candidate for the next Congress and is coming to this one backed with a big display and a large delegation headed by the provincial minister of agricultural. Two interesting official delegates are a personal representative of the Minister of Agriculture of China, the oldest dry farming country in the world, and an Indian Prince who comes to represent the Imperial Government of India. Santa Fe Making Improvements. Denver.—Steadily increasing freight and passenger traffic on both the Santa Fe and the Colorado & Southern railroads has caused the Santa Fe road to feel the needs of additional storage tracks for their cars and of better and heavier rails for their trains between Denver and Pueblo. As a result that railroad is replacing much of its old steel between these points with ninety-pound rail and is building many spurs and sidetracks along its right of way. LITTLE COLORADO ITEMS.

COLORADO PROGRESS MADE BY NEGROES Opportunities Should Be Seized Rather Than Disadvan- tages Advertised SITUATION IN ARKANSAS ADDRESS DELIVERED BY BOOKER T. WASHINGTON BEFORE THE NATIONAL NEGRO BUSI- NESS LEAGUE. a ee a te Te ee at gro Business league held its twelfth annual session here. Chicago was se- lected for the place of meeting in 1912. Preaching the Gospel of optimism ‘that has made him famous, and incit- ing the members of his race to econ: omy, thrift and the highest point of excellency in industrial and commer- cial pursults, Booker T. Washington, leader of the negro race, principal of the famous Tuskegee Normal and In- dustrial institute, delivered the twelfth annual address before the National Negro Business league, which potent organization he founded twelve years ago. Assembled in the Kemper theater to hear his address was an audience of about two thousand people, composed of a large number of the best white people of the city and state, and mem- bers of the organization. In the course of his remarks, Doctor Wash- ington sald: “This session marks the twelfth year of the existence of the National Negro Business league. While it 1s among the youngest of our national organizations, I think we have just ‘cause to feel proud of its growth, suc cess and influence. Starting in a sim- ple way, it has now grown to the point where it brings together at these an- nual meetings the strongest and best men and women of our race. In con- nection with the national organization there are now in existence about six hundred local leagues scattered throughout the United States. “The pecullar value of this league, however, {s not the size of the na- tional organize tion nor in the number of local leagues, but in the work and influence of the league in turning the attention of members of our race to the rich opportunity that is right about them in their own communities for in- dustrial and business growth. The value of this league consists mainly tn the new spirit that turns the imposs!- ble to the possible, from that which 1s artificial and unstable to that which is natural and enduring. “The National Negro Business league, too, is unlike many other or- ganizations in the fact that it is not a secret organization; it has no grips and pass-words, and offers no sick and death benefits. Nor fs this In any sense a political organization. Let me add, too, that the Business league 1s not in opposition to any other organ- {zation that 1s meant to help and co- operate with all other worthy organt- zations. “[ am glad that we are holding this national meeting in the city of Little Rock and in the state of Arkansas. In no other state has the league had more loyal and active workers than in this state. From the first we have had the support and influence of that honored and successful man, J. E. Bush, and his comrades in Arkan- sas, “For another reason I am glad that we have assembled in the state of Ar- kansas, because in few if any other states have the negroes made greater progress, and there are few ff any communities where the white citizens are more just in their treatment of the negroes than ts true of the city of Little Rock. The interest of the white people in the colored people of Little Rock is shown in the fine school system provided for our race, and the numerous opportunities afforded our race to secure and to promote bust- ness and industrial enterprises. With- out firm and loyal white friends the negro could not have made the prog- ress that he has made In Little Rock and throughout the state of Arkansas. “I sometimes fear that too many of ‘our people are so active in advertis- ing our disadvantages that they fail ‘to rightly appreciate our opportunities. I would not, however, be understood ts meaning that on proper occasions and in a proper manner, that we should not protest against wrong; that we should depend mainly for our suc- cess upon constructive efforts, rather than mere protest. For a few minutes permit me to go into particulars as to the conditions and opportunities and the progress of our race in the state of Arkansas. Let me-use the state of Arkansas as an example of what 1s possible for the negro in practically every one of our southern states, to say nothing of opportunities that are open to us in northern and western states. I repeat that my experience and observation convince me that with few exceptions, where the negro fs try- ing to live a decent life, is willing to work, to save money, to advance in ail the fundamental things of life, that he will find in the southern communt- ties as elsewhere white friends who are anxious and willing to encourage him. “In /rkansas, for example, I find by the official records that there are about 400,000 negroes, that they con- stitute about 27 per cent. of the total ne fa a nae mr icra chee a Cae ored people in Arkansas pald in local and state taxes $451,000 toward the support of government in Arkansas during the past year. “In proportion to their numbers, I question whether the colored people of any other state in the south have made greater progress in material di- rections than these figures indicate. But we should not be satisfed with what wo have accomplished in the past.. There is a richer and broader future for us if we can but be made to appreciate what is possible for us in a state like Arkansas. “One of our weaknesses as a race which fn an increasing degree we must learn to overcome, 1s that of squan- dering that which we earn, of waste ful and unnecessary expenditure of money and property. One of the ob- jects of this National Negro Business league 1s to not only teach our race to get hold of things but to hold on to those which we get. “For example, I find by the offictal records that about 40 per cent. of the cotton raised in Arkansas is produced by the hands of negro farmers. I am te in saying that the negroes in Ar- kansas produced last year about 350,- 000 bales of cotton valued at about $24,000,000. The question 1s, how much of this $24,000,000 remains in the hands of the race today and how much of it has been spent for things we could have done without? “The negro farmers of Arkansas pro- duced last year about 9,600 bushels of corn valued at $5,600,000. The negro farmers of Arkansas produced last year 189,000 bushels of oats valued at $87,000. They produced last year ‘about 48,000 bushels of wheat valued at $46,000. They produced last year about 432,000 bushels of Irish pota- toes and sweet potatoes valued at about $291,000, The total farm prod- ucts of the colored farmers of Arkan- sas for 1910 amounted to $32,000,000. If we add to this what the colored peo- ple earned in other occupations such as professional, domestic and personal service, trade, manufacturing and me- chanical pursuits, the people of our race in this state earned at least $38,- 000,000 tast year. “The great question, then, is how much of this wealth remains In our bands in Arkansas? How much of it has been put into land? How much into houses? How much into the bank? How much into the schools? How much into the churches? How much has gone in directions which are calculated to make us stronger, a more useful, intelligent, moral and religious race? “In the state of Arkansas there are tremendous opportunities for still greater progress. I find that in this state there are at least eight miliion acres of unimproved lands that are capable of producing almost every kind of farm products. In the past fifteen years in Arkansas there has been great increase in land values. Land which fifteen years ago could be purchased for $2 to $15 per acre 1s now selling from $15 to $20 an acre, and in some cases the price has gone up as high as $100 an acre. If we do not as a race improve the opportuni- ties to get hold of our share of these rich and productive lands people of an- other race and of another color will come in from Europe and reap the golden harvest which should be ours in part at least. “Taking the southern states as & whole, I find that colored farmers last year produced four and a half million bales of cotton valued at about $319,000,000. Colored farmers in the south produced last year 150,000,000 bushels of corn valued at about $95,- 000,000. How many of these millions of dollars today remain in our hands, and how much has parted from us? “The colored farmers of the south produced last year four and a half million bushels of oats valued at over two million of dollars. They produced last year 850,000 bushels of wheat val ued at nearly four million dollars, and 98,000,000 pounds of tobacco valued at about nine million dollars. “It is estimated that the total value of the form products of colored farm- ers of the south last year amounted to five hundred milllon dollars. In ad- dition to what was produced by the farmers, I am safe in saying that those engaged in other gainful occu- pations such as professional service, domestic and personal service, and trade and manufacturing and mechan- ical pursuits earned last year at least two hundred million dollars, making the total earnings of our race in the south alone something over seven hundred million dollars. “T repeat again and again that it 1s the duty of the negro minister, the negro teacher, the negro business man, of the leaders of our race everywhere to see to it that a larger proportion of the tremendous amount earned by Pe eae es ae grea a ae eer atte oe present or for the future. The whole Southland is full of opportunities for skilled workmen at high wages. In Alabama, for example, there are col- ored men who are earning from three to five dollars a day as bricklayers. In the Birmingham district of Ala- bama there are colored men who are earning from five to ten dollars per day as skilled laborers {n the various fron and steel manufacturing enter- prises of that state. What I say of Alabama is true of other states. “Without the least fear of exagger- ation, I would state that employment can be found for 100 additional negro architects, 300 negro contractors, 100 more electrical engineers, 5,000 more bricklayers, 5,000 more carpenters, 500 more plumbers, 500 more station- ary engineers and 5,000 more skilled workers in the fron furnaces, ‘This 1s to say nothing of at least 50,000 places awaiting skilled farmers, dairy- men, stock raisers and fruit grow- ers. “Attention before {t 1s too late to our economic and industrial growth will enable the ten million members of our race in the United States to es- cape many of the pitfalls into which our race has fallen in Liberia, Haitt and elsewhere. “Just in proportion as our race gives heed to the development of its eco- nomic and industrial opportunities will every school, college, university and church be strengthened. Just {n proportion as we seize hold of and use the tremendous economic and ma- terial opportunities that are at our door will every journalist, teacher, minister, lawyer and doctor share in the benefit and be strengthened. “In all the respects to which I have referred and many others, a rich and bountiful harvest awaits us as a race, and {n proportion as we enter it we shall find friends and supporters among white people and black peo- ple. Let us, then, as a race every- where turn our faces away from the setting sun of gloom and despair to- ward the rising sun of hope and deter- mination.” Following Doctor Washington’s ad- dress, Dr. Joseph A. Booker, president of the Arkansas Baptist college, Little Rock, and one of the most resourceful and forceful negro college presidents in the south, spoke on “Negro School Building by Negroes.” As _presi- dent of a distinctively negro school for twenty-five years, Doctor Booker’s experfence in this regard proved very valuable. Doctor Booker stated that the Arkansas Baptist college was built up of the pennies and nickels and dimes of washerwomen and la- boring men for the most part, and de- clared it to be a most helpful example of self-help among the negroes of the south. Whereas the school twenty-five years agohad nothing but the name, he continued, it now owns property in the clty valued between $60,000 and $70,000 and a ten thousand dollar farm north of Little Rock. “It 1s a much easter matter to build schools for negroes than to persuade them to bulld them for themselves,” he sald. “The race today 1s enjoying excellent school advantages both in the north and in the south; but these advantages are due more to the phil- anthropy, public charity and patriot- ism of the white man, north and south, than to the negroes’ own self-help. The problem before us now is to get the race into the habit and effort of paying much of {ts own educational bills. “Education today 1s the paramount question with the white man. He and his child are eager to know, and they will find out in any school at any cost. He and all his want intellectual pow- er and social power, and they have it by aggregating their schools, pres!- dents and professors and labeling them as achievements of the white race for the general uplift and promotion of the white race asd the world. “In everything but In civil and bust- ness matters, negroes are a society unto themselves. With these two ex- ceptions they are a government within ‘a government, a wheel within a wheel ‘The world would look with strange horror upon them if they should accu- mulate great wealth, learn to do bust- ness in great waters, erect magnificent temples of worship and then care not to build schools or colleges or unlver- sitles at thelr own expense. “The white people of this country have spent an immense amount of money to educate the negroes both in the common schools, colleges, pro- | fessional schools and industrial schools. What shall I say to the business men, the financiers of the ne- gro race, with reference to these worthy enterprises? The common people have done much to launch and support them. They have allowed themselves to be grouped off accord- ing to their relfgious bellef and rallied nobly in supporting these schools. | MODEST FLATTERY.

GROWERS AND FINANCIERS, CON- GRESSMEN AND SENATORS, HOLD MEETING. Weatern Newspaper Union News Service, Montgomery, Ala—Cotton growers, bankers, congressmen, United States Senators and business men to the number of one thousand, representing every cotton-growing state in America, declared in convention that cotton is worth 15 cents a pound and resolved that the farmer should hold his cotton for that price. ‘The resolution followed the commit- tee report that the crop in America would not exceed 12,500,000 bales. For financing the crop of this year it was resolved that the farmer should deposit his cotton in a warehouse and use his receipts as collateral until he could sell his crop at not less than 15 cents. Deciaring that organization among the farmers and co-operation with bankers and financiers were the solu- tion of the problem, the convention re- solved itself into a permanent organ- ization, to be known as the Southern Cotton Congress. ‘The meeting in Montgomery is to be followed by a similar convention in ev- ery southern state, to be called by the commissioner of agriculture of each state. By these conventions the ac- tion of the Congress is to be ratified. President C. S.

Sermon Topics, Sunday Sept. 17th. 11 a. m.—"Leavening Up" or "The Influence of Presbyterianism on Afro-Americans." 8 p. m.—"Church Knockers; Who They Are." Mr. Hugh Buchanan, tenor-bartione soloist of Chicago will favor us with the solo, "Hear My Cry, Oh Lord," by Wooler. The discourses will be a strong "Double-header" setting forth with emphasis what the Presbyterian church has recently done for our people in the South. The public is cordially invited to hear these specials. The Guild is to be specially complimented for the all round success that has accrued from the coming before the Denver public of Mr. Buchanan Monday night. The responsive public and helpers of the cause will ever have a warm spot in our hearts. Both the Guild and Missolnary Society are laying broad platforms for their fall and winter work. Both organizations will be represented at the Synod of Colorado next month at Greeley. The Presbytery of Denver convenes next Tuesday at Westminster college. By special request the pastor will lecture on the "Work and Objects of the First Universal Races Congress" on the 25th inst., before the Presbyterian Ministers' Union at Central Presbyterian Church. We are respectfully inviting the public to READ, MARK, LEARN AND DIGEST what the Presbyterian church has always stood for in any community where she has had a sober consideration from a thinking public. The church in her propaganda of things has as her fundamental creed "Service to God through the service rendered to humanity regardless as to race or color." This is evidenced by the last report of the Freedmen board to the last General Assembly; The board has purchased 1,000 acres of land around Boggs Memorial Academy, Keysville, Ga., for farm homes for worthy colored families with the perefect understanding that $15,000 must at once be spent out of its funds for general purposes and an effort be made to increase this fund to a minimum of $25,000. To invest part of this fund in smaller farms of from 10 to 40 acres each. To sell small farms to reputable Negro men of families, Presbyterians preferred, at fair prices, and on easy terms. To assist the purchasers to build houses, buy tools and seed and meet living expenses during the earlier years of occupancy, by advances of cash from the funds—such advances to be repaid with a fair rate of interest, out of the annual savings of the farms. That suitable superintendence be made with the view that the occupants finally own these farms. Each farm as a rule should be rented for one year with the privilege of continuing or withdrawing at the expiration of that time. SCOTT M. E. CHURCH NOTES. The pulpit will be filled by our eminent white brother ministers all day Sunday as the pastor and district superintendent will be absent at the District Conference this week.

Waters of George R Smith College is expected. Miss Luella Perry led the League last Sunday evening. Mr. Eli Burrell has been appointed to lead next Sunday evening. The topics are creating quite a discussion as they touch the spiritual life of the young people in a way that applauds to them. The contract for shingling the church and parsonage has been let. Mr. A. J. Fitzpatrick was the fortunate bidder among the many bids that were received by the building committee. The trustees will not stop here when the buildings are shingled but will commence to paint the two buildings. The Ladies Aid Society will decorate the interior and place new carpets on the pulpit floor and runners in the isles. A working church has not the time to complain and retard the progress of those who wish to do something. There is an excellent spirit of co-operation extant in Scott's. Rev. C. W. Holmes will preach the annual sermon before the District Conference. The Rev. J. D. Rice will read a paper on "The Problem of Holding the Boys to the Church." The church will issue five-dollar bearing bonds to continue the work of rerenovation on the church. Five per cent interest will be paid on the same and they are to run for six months; $6 worth of these bonds were sold last Sunday. They are still on sale and any one who wishes to make a safe investment please see the pastor or the chairman of the trustee board, W. S. Evans. Mrs. F. D. McPherson and her little granddaughter, Goldie, arrived in the city last week after a pleasant visit to Estes Park. They are ruddy and hearty, the very picture of health.

Many plead that they cannot have the bible always in their hands. True, but in many cases I find family bibles lying so unused that, with my finger, I could write damnation upon the covers of them! These things ought not to be." An effective centerpiece for the breakfast table is a flower vase of wood brown bamboo. They come in a variety of shapes. Inside are sheet iron or metal receptacles to hold the water. Most any flower shows to advantage against the dull brown of the bamboo. Many of these vases are loosely woven and dull red or green pottery peers through the interstices. They may be found in any oriental store. It is no great matter to associate with the good and gentle, for this is naturally pleasing to all and everyone willingly enjoyeth peace and loveth those best that agree with him. But to be able to live peaceably with hard and perverse persons, or with the disorderly, or with such as go onlrary to us, is a great grace, and a most commendable and manly thing.—Thomas a Kempis. A school master, when reading from the church catechism, asked a boy, "Where do we get the articles of our faith from?" The boy hesitated—a girl answered—"from the bible. "Quite right," said the master. "Now, William, where do we get the articles of our faith from?" The boy, having only indistinctly heard the sound, answered—"from the devil!"

INDICTED FOR GRAND LARGEN Grand Jury Returns Indicments Against Heads of True Reformers. GRAND MASTER INVOLVED MESSRS. HOLMES, BURRELL, TAYLOR, HILL, ROBERTSON AND ELLIS MUST STAND TRIAL. Richmond, Va.—Charging that certain officials of the order abstracted notes before they were due and sought to have the payment of them anticipated in order to cover up the deficit caused by their criminal acts, the grand jury investigating the condition of the True Reformers' Insurance Order, Fraternity and Bank, has returned a number of indictments for the misappropriation of funds. Those indicted are Grand Master A. W. Holmes, General Secretary W. P. Burrell, ex-Grand Master W. L. Taylor, Cashier R. T. Hill, ex-Attorney of the Order J. C. Robertson, and ex-Vice-President and Accountant Edward Ellis, Jr. Taylor, Hill, Ellis and Burrell are jointly indicted for the grand larceny of $27,404.25, the property of the Old Folks home of the True Reformers. It is estimated that more than $300,000 has been lost in speculation. All of the indicted officers have been arrested and released on bonds in the sum of $3,000 each for their appearance in court. Against R. T. Hill, previously indicted and a fugitive from justice, were found four counts; against A. W. Holmes, six counts; W. P. Burrell must answer to eight counts; J. C. Robertson to eight counts; W. L. Taylor to six counts, and Edward Ellis, Jr., eight counts. Scott and Sale Honored. New Orleans—President Arthur Barclay of Liberia has conferred upon the Hon. Emmett J. Scott of Tuskegee institute, Alabama, and Dr. George Sale of Atlanta, Ga., the order of Knight Commander of African Redemption, and has authorized Bishop I. B. Scott, who is now in this city, to represent him in making the formal presentation. This will be done as soon as the bishop receives the jewels; the certificates have already been received.

RACES ON FRIENDLY TERMS CHARLES BANKS DENIES REPORT THAT ILL FEELING EXISTS BETWEEN WHITES AND BLACKS— CLARKSDALE DAILY REGISTER SPEAKS HIGHLY OF NEGRO COMMUNITY. Mound Bayou, Miss.—Charles Banks, cashier of the Bank of Mound Bayou, denies the report published in a sensational colored sheet that ill feeling exists between the whites and blacks of this section. With reference to the malicious report, Mr. Banks had this to say: "The feeling between the whites and blacks of this county is the very best and in our efforts to build up Mound Bayou none has given us more cordial and substantial support than our white neighbors in this and adjoining counties. The more prominent ones even go out of their way to see to it that we are assisted in every way, not in a manner marked out by them, but after our own direction and selection." The Clarksdale Daily Register, one of the leading papers of this section, perhaps knows more about things in and about here than the paper publishing the article to the effect that the two races were having trouble. The Register recently commented on the good spirit prevailing between whites and blacks, and that Mound Bayou was one of the progressive sections of Mississippi. NEXT OF THE GREBE.

The little log cabin erected by Jon quin Miller, the famous poet, on Meridian hill, in Washington, | 27 4, years ago, is to a be permanently fern preserved in the 4 Potomac park. It TA | will occupy a po: GREE | sition in the park Mi, | mot far from the MK, | memorial that is Saeco be built for Pee) Abraham Lincoln eet] The preservation ie SR RR AR or this cabin is due to the efforts fe B zr fern, EE I alent amma Sa CLL of the California delegation in con: gress. The cabin was about to be torn down to make way for the sweep of the national capital to the northward, when the members of congress from California stepped forward and pre: vailed on the District of Columbia authorities to preserve it. The work of tearing {t down began at once and soon {t will rise again in what is de- stined to be one of the most beauti- ful parks in the world. There are plenty of persons in Washington who remember Miller when he lived there and frequented daily “Newspaper Row,” made Infre- quent visits to the capitol and other government buildings; mixed and min- gled with the leading figures in the soctal, diplomatic, Iiterary and finan- cial world, and spent his late after- noons and evenings in the little hut on the brow of Meridian hill, a house that cost scarcely $250, and erected on ground that could be purchased at almost any price. While occupying the highest point of Meridian hill, alone, the little cabin was well fitted to its surroundings. A wild, rugged point was selected by Ye. 4, 4 ra ee s Ks CG a BU, ae See eel os San. A <I Biase er rene een pet tha aataMRr TGR OaLITE the poet for a home site. Below it,at the time, were acres of rough land, and surrounding {t on all sides were irregular masses of trees of no partle- ular kind or size. In recent years, however, Washington has pushed it- self in that direction. Now, on three sides of the structure some of the most beautiful and expensive homes which the nation can boast have arisen. When the million dollar house for former Ambassador White was erected in front of the little cabin its grandeur immediately dis- appeared. ‘The cabin was designed to harmon- ize with the wild ruggedness of the land surrounding {t. The moment this ruggedness was toned down the impressiveness of Miller’s former home was lost. The California State society, which has so conscientiously worked for months to preserve the structure, de- cided to remove the hut to Potomac park. ‘The society was assisted by the California congressional delega- tion, and the hundreds of friends of the “Poet of the Sterras.” Many are the tales handed down re- garding the Uttle cabin and its mas- ter. There are many Washingtonians living who remember the visits made to the $250 structure by famous liter- ary and financial men, actors and actresses, and government officials of that day, They still tell of how the rugged poet, still clinging to his manner of dress adopted in his ear- ler days while prospecting for gold in the far west, or leading a mass of Indians against a civilized post, en- tertained in his Meridian hill home, Receptions were frequent. But the guests understood that every recep- tion was to be of the most informal character. Miss Maud Miller, the actress, daughter of the poet, assist: ed her father in acting as host. But nothing of the stage, with its glamor and glitter, ever ound {ts way mto the simple ttle home. Miller spent several months in London before coming to Washing- ton ‘This practically was his first “public appearance” as a Iiterary xenius. He had been in the British capital only a short time before all England became interested in his work. His poems apeared frequently in the current publications and Eng land soon wanted to see the man who was responsible for the work. The reception accorded him in Lon- don was repeated in Washington, But Miller never lost his earlfer likes— those for simplicity and unaffected- ness, Repeated efforts were made to have the poet give up the little log cabin and move to the fashfonable residential section of the city. But these were of no avail. The veteran builder, H. D. Benninger, who con- structed the cabin 27 years ago, has taken to pieces the logs and boards which he nafled together and will carefully transfer them to Potomac “vark. WEATHER FLASHED TO SHIPS Messages by Wireless Now Tell Navigators of Conditions In All Parts of Seas. | Transatlantic travelers may now read in thelr morning newspapers on board the luxurious ocean greyhounds not only the news of the day, which 1s transmitted daily by wireless tele graph from both sides of the Atlantic, but also weather conditions at corners of the American and European cont! nents as well as New Foundland, Ice land and the Azores, Every morning at 11 o'clock, Greenwich time, trom the great Eiffel tower in Paris the French central meteorological bureau sends forth a wireless message giving the exact time of day so navigators may compare their chronometers. Following this message the wireless pours out a long cipher dispatch gtv- ing the state of weather at Reykiavik, Iceland; Valentia, Ireland; Quessant, France; La Coruna, Spain; Horta, Axores, and St. Plerre and Miquelon felands, off the south coast of New Foundland. This information enables transatlantic navigators to determine what kind of weather they may ex- pect during thelr voyage. Prof. A Angot, director of the French bureau, has arranged with Chief Willis Moore of the United States weather bureau to furnish this information daily so that mariners at American ports may have use of tt SOOTHING EFFECT OF NEWS A Washington Asylum Will Be Sup- plied with Newspapers by the Government. “Without newspapers, prisoners n any institution are almost unmanage- able. They get nervous, and are al- ways wondering what is going on in the outside world. They do not seem to keep their minds on the things they are doing and make poor workmen. Give them newspapers and they seem to feel that they are in touch with the world, and are partially content.” This statement by Louis F. Zinkhan, superintendent of the Washington asylum, has led to the comptroller of the currency authorizing the payment by the government of money for the purciase of newspapers for the in- mates of the asylum, the Post of that city says. Eyer since he took charge of the Washington asylum Superintendent Zinkhan has noticed that the inmates made strong efforts to have newspa- pers smuggled in to them. Some of them could go without their tobacco and other things they were used to but all made constant demands for the news from the outside world. TO INVESTIGATE STEPHENSON Wisconsin Senator Who Spent $107,- 000 at Primaries Will Be Asked to Explain. ‘The United States senate 1s to in- vestigate another of its members— Senator Isaac Stephenson of Wiscon- ‘sin, It 1s claimed that money was ‘used lavishly to bring about his elec- ‘tion and that he was cognizant of the ‘manner in which it was spent.

The effort of dressmakers now is to have dresses as practical as possible. The constantly recurring rumor that long skirts are to take the place of the more comfortable short ones for the street is soon silenced by the appearance of many new models for street gowns all with skirts to clear the ground. For the house the long skirt is always the smartest, and—although last winter there were many short house gowns even of the most elaborate order—the fashion never met with general approval, and is now passing. Long trains for the evening are far more becoming and more appropriate for gowns of expensive material. A low-neck dress requires a long skirt if it is to be becoming. A short skirt for the street and a long skirt for the house is a good rule to follow. Two inches from the floor is the correct short skirt length.—Harper's Bazar. MAKES A HANDY WORKBAG Useful Article That May Be Fashioned at Small Expense From Two Fancy Handkerchiefs. A pretty workbag is made with two fancy handkerchiefs, men's size, laid one on top of the other so as to have the eight corners separate. Stitch across the corners of the uppermost handkerchief, running the line of stitching to the center. This will make four straight lines of stitching all the way across the bag and will also leave four open edges forming triangular pockets in which to put thread, scissors, needles, etc. Sew small rings at each point where the stitching meets the edge and run ribbon through these rings so the bag can be drawn up tight. The prettiest bags are made of a plain and a fancy handkerchief in contrasting colors. Have the ribbon long enough so the bag can be laid out flat on your lap when in use. Hoods on Coats. Instead of a sailor collar, the new thing is to have a V-shaped hood on the back of the coat. It runs over an long ends in front and is then caught with an ornament or a flat silk bow. The hood is of lace; that is, heavy lace, or eyelet embroidery, or old-fashioned batiste. It is edged with a scallop and finished with a heavy tassel made of white silk or linen floss. These are put on all the summer suits and are being shown on the best of the new cloth coats. as to form a buckle shape. The bonichon is youthful, becoming and dressy. In the gown shown in the picture, the Russian motif is charmingly emphasized. The material is white Japanese crepe decorated with black and white striped marquisette. The tunic, in Russian style also, is of the same materials. Pink roses add a touch of delicate color, in such a manner as to bring out the rose note in the trimming design. 1 Silk poplin in a lovely shade of Dutch blue was chosen for this pretty frock, which might, of course, be developed in any other dainty color or in white. The arrangement of braiding on the skirt suggests a hip length bodice, though as a matter of fact the bodice ends beneath the shaped girdle. The soutache braiding is in the Dutch blue shade and the design is simple—a running border of loops inclosing embroidered dots done with blue silk. At the neck a yoke of creamy eyelet embroidery through which is run black velvet ribbon, adds a special touch of smartness. Smart Watches. Jewelled watches are a toy of the moment. The best of these are enameled, often in pale pink or pale green, with either one diamond in the center or else surrounded by small diamonds. The smart watch of today has a chain attached and is worn on the neck as a pendant. The face of the watch is, of course, at the back of the ornament. And some of these dainty toys are first-rate timekeepers. Mending a Sweater. To mend a hole in a sweater use yarn as for darning, start at the top and chainstitch down the length of the hole with a darning needle, catching each loop securely. You will have a neat piece of work and no one will notice where the hole has been. HOW THE PEOPLE OF SUNNY LAND COOK CHICKEN. Recipes for Italian Tripe, for a Risottl, and for a Delicious Fruit Dish Designed for Holi- day Fete Chicken italian.—One large fricassee chicken, cut up in pieces as for irricassee. Take two good sized onions and chop fine and fry in olive oil until about done. While onions are frying add one-fourth teaspoon each of powdered cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice. Add chicken and let the pieces sear a little in the olive oil, then add some clear stock soup boiling hot, or not water will do. Some Italian conserve, about tablespoon diluted in some of the stock, and a cup of dried Italian mushrooms previously soaked in hot water. Let all cook slowly about one hour, then add some parsley and garlic chopped fine and two or three French carrots cut in fine strips. Cook slowly again until chicken and mushrooms are tender. Serve on deep platter. Do not have too much gravy. In using Italian conserve be careful about putting in salt, as the conserve is already saited. Italian Tripe.—Take the tripe and cut into strips about two and a half inches long. Boil in salted water about one minute, drain and put on to boil in fresh water. Let come to boiling point, drain and once again put on in clean, fresh water. Take onions (as many as needed for the amount of tripe), chop fine and fry in olive oil to a golden brown. While onions are frying add half teaspoon each of powdered cinnamon and nutmeg, add to the tripe. Add a can of strained tomatoes and some clear soup stock, some garlic and parsley and the top green part of one stalk of celery chopped very fine. Take half tin of sardines and mash fine and add to the tripe. Let all cook slowly until tripe is tender. Salt and pepper to taste. Italian Dish for the Holidays.—Take large ripe peaches and remove the stone without cutting the peach in two pieces, place them in bake pan with some melted butter in bottom. Take some macaroons and mash them up in good port wine into a thick paste. Take almonds, blanch them and chop very fine and add to macaron paste. Fill up the peaches with this paste, put a good sized piece of butter on top and bake in medium oven until peaches are soft. Baste frequently with the melted butter. These are delicious. Serve hot. An Italian Risottl.—Wash about half a dozen large potatoes and boil until done with their skins on. Remove skins and mash them, adding as much flour as the moisture of the potatoes will take up. Roll out on bake board about half an inch thick and cut in squares about inch square. With the thumb press in the center and roll toward edge; they will form into shapes like little shells. Let them dry for about fifteen minutes, then put on to boil by dropping them into boiling salted water. Boll for about three-quarters hour. Drain and put in large bowl, add a good sized slice of butter, some thick strained tomatoes and a cup of grated Parmesan cheese. Mix all together and serve at once. HINTS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE Various Suggestions That Will Enable Her to Save Considerable Money in Purchasing. Few things can be bought in bulk to advantage. Soap improves with age and is cheaper bought by the box. Bacon is best purchased by the slab, and the dripping should always be saved in a little jar kept for the purpose. Except for baking, it is a good substitute for lard. Always reserve the tails of steaks for hash. This is a wholesome dish when made of fresh meat. All left overs should be saved and are better reserved in their original form than mixed with half a dozen ingredients. Lump sugar bought loose is cheaper than cut sugar in boxes, and granulated should be bought by 25 cen's worth. For laundry work, especially flat work, a mangle is indispensable, saving the material and lightening labor. You would not be without it, once tried. Washing sent out to laundries is more or less expensive, considering the awful wear on material. Dishcloths sprinkled with the following preparation—equal parts of coal oil, vinegar and sweet oil—will be rendered dustless; that is, no shaking will be necessary. All scraps of soap from bathroom and kitchen should be thrown in the boiler for wash days. Glass Tops. Clever housekeepers are beginnin to discover that the most practical covers for dressing tables and library writing tables are plain glass sheets. Lace and embroidered dollies and runners show under them as well as if on the top, and the glass protects them and keeps them clean indefinitely. These glass tops are not expensive and they safeguard the handsome oak or mahogany table and dainty linens from the careless guests, who are so apt to lay fruit and burnt matches about wherever they happen to be. Deviled Whitebait. Wash the whitebait thoroughly an drain on a soft cloth. Dip them in milk, then roll in flour and fry, about a half-cupful at a time, in deep, smoking hot fat. Drain on soft paper and sprinkle with cayenne, then send at once to the table.

THE Colorado Statesman AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Strangely enough the United States census shows both races in full flight from the country to the city with the whites slightly leading. Note this item of that report: The white population of 1890 cities increased 27.6 per cent between 1890 and 1900 and 46.6 per cent, between 1900 and 1910. Similar rates of increase for the urban negroes are 23.3 per cent. in the decade 1890 to 1900 and 30.5 per cent. in the decade 1900 to 1910. For the rural sections of 1890 the rate of increase for the white population was 18.7 between 1890 and 1900, and 17.3 between 1900 and 1910. The increase of the negroes in the same rural sections was 17.5 between 1890 and 1900 and 8.3 between 1900 and 1910. A comparison of these rates of increase brings out clearly the cityward trend for both races, but shows it to be even greater for whites than for negroes. The rate of increase for the urban whites advanced from 27.6 to 46.6 or a difference of 19 per cent., while the rate for the urban negroes advanced from 23.2 to 30.5, or a difference of 7.2 per cent. The rate of increase in the rural sections was less for both races in the decade ending in 1910 than for that ending in 1900, but the decline in the rate of increase was very much greater for the negroes than for the whites. For the whites the change was from 18.7 per cent. in the first decade to 17.3 in the last ten years, a difference of 1.4 per cent. For the negroes the change was from 17.5 per cent. to 8.3 per cent., a difference of 9.2 per cent. Commencing on the foregoing features of the census the Globe-Democrat says: In the country as a whole, the cities in the south are growing faster than the farming regions. It may be said, too, that the relative growth of the two races in the south is pretty well maintained throughout the north and west also. All over the country the white lead over the black race is lengthening. While there is a higher birth rate among the blacks than among the whites, the death rate is also much higher. Then, too, the increase from immigration is all or the side of the whites. The negroes have no foreign country to draw on to increase their numbers. Relatively to the other element of the people the blacks must continue to decrease, although their actual numbers will keep on growing. The south's concern on account of the presence of so many negroes in its states is needless. The proportion of the negroes is steadily declining. The lament will eventually take a new tack. There will not be enough negroes to do the work which they have been doing hitherto. Already there is a complaint in some quarters in the south that there are not enough laborers to meet the demand. White immigrants do not go to the south in anything like the number that they do to the rest of the country, and consequently the greater part of the hard manual labor must be performed by the blacks. Some of the southern papers are predicting that a time may come in their region when Chinese will have to be imported to do work which the negroes had performed since the beginning of things. A bulletin, just issued from the census bureau, shows that: Of the whole number, 262,720 of farms reported in 1910 in Alabama, there were 152,347, or fifty-eight per cent., operated by white farmers, and 110,373, or 42 per cent., by negro and other non-white farmers, as compared with a total of 223,220 in 1900, of which 129,137, or 58 per cent., were conducted by white farmers and 94,083, or 42 per cent., by negro and other non-white. The increase in the number of farms of white farmers during the decade amounted to 23,210 and in the number of farms of negro and other non-white farmers to 16,200. The principal point to keep in mind in regard to these figures is that the colored people in Alabama have bought over 16,000 additional farms during the past ten years, while the white people have bought 23,000 additional farms. When it is kept in mind that the colored people of Alabama are only about 45 per cent. of the whole population, this is not a bad showing by any means. Indeed, it is a most interesting and encouraging showing—New York Age. It is noted that the negro is not maintaining his own on the farms of the south. During the last decade the white people living in the districts and communities increased 13 per cent., while the negroes living in the same did not increase but six per cent. The figures on their face are most discouraging for the negro, but do not appear so formidable when the facts are explained. In the first place the negro has received no accretions to his numbers except by excess of births over deaths, while the white population is being constantly increased by immigration. In fact, the movement to Florida and Texas has been most notable. Whether this immigration will reduce the increase of the native population of the south to equality with the negro is not known exactly. Though it is believed that such is the fact.—Durham Reformer. Another prophet of evil has arisen. This time it is a physician who essays the role of seer, and from the death rate of the negroes of Richmond predicts the early extinction of the American negro. It is asserted by this physician that negro deaths constitute 96 per cent. of the total for Richmond during the last year. The figures are sufficiently alarming and cannot but be viewed with concern by all thoughtful people. The fact as it appears, however, does not seem to justify itself. It would be difficult to convince anyone that the negroes, who constitute but two-fifths of the population of Richmond, at the same time have 96 of their number die while only four others live. It is admitted that negro mortality is in excess of that of the white people, but it does appear that this rating is far in excess of the ordinarily accepted fact. It is, however, with the prediction that the negro race will be extinct by or during the twenty-first century that we have to deal. It is to be noted that ever since the census of 1880 some one has occasionally arisen who predicted the early extinction of the negro race. The facts in their broader aspects do not appear to bear out their predictions. The negro race has steadily increased for the last thirty years and there is little logic in the position of early extinction. While unsanitary and other conditions cause a temporary setback in one locality, there are many others which show a remarkable fecundity. It is also to be remembered that all races die rapidly when brought for the first time in contact with modern civilization. The masses of the negroes are just experiencing the shock of this first contact and the results are most alarming in our large cities. It is believed that when the negro shall have had two centuries of such contact that they will be the most prolific and vital race factor on the continent. There is another fact which is seldom mentioned, but is nevertheless potent in the negro's favor, and that is the original race stocks are not in numerical ascendency in this country. In fact, had it been left to the original settlers of America to fill this continent the population of the country would have been stationary since 1830, if not actually decreasing. No, the negro is not going to become extinct, but is going to become one of the most dependable numerical element of our population—Durham Reformer. Incidents are constantly occurring which show how inextricably the man and brother is standing up in the affairs of this country. Some weeks ago business in the nited States senate had to be suspended on his account. A resolution abolishing a couple of petty jobs had been introduced. One of these jobs was held by "Jim" Jones, the body servant of Jefferson Davis. The Congressional Record sets forth the matter as follows: The Vice President—Is there further morning business? Mr. Martin of Virginia—In connection with the resolution just adopted, I ask if it has any relation to the colored man who is employed in the stationery room. Mr. Lodge—It covers his case and one other. Mr. Martin of Virginia—I ask that the vote by which the resolution was adopted be reconsidered. The senator from Mississippi desires to be present when it is considered. Mr. Lodge—I put it over several times. It is a small matter and I think it ought not be put over again. It has been pending three or four weeks. Mr. Martin of Virginia—It will do no harm to let it go over until tomorrow. I am sure the senator from Mississippi is interested. It is of no great importance that it should be disposed of this morning. The senator from Mississippi was no other than Hon. John Sharp Williams. When he did arrive he insisted on having "Jim" Jones retained on the senate payroll as a laborer at $720 a year. The senate sustained Senator Williams, and Mr. "Jim" Jones will continue to draw his pay from the government. It thus appears that Dr. Booker T. Washington was right when he said that the worst negro-hafing white man in the country always knows some one negro whom he loves and in whom he has the utmost confidence. Throttle envy, then drag its worthless corpse from out of your heart; find for it a grave and dig it so deep and bury it so surely that there will be for it no resurrection. Envy curses him in whose heart it finds a home in which to rankle and defile and befoul with its poison. Listen at this advice and description, and don't be envious: "The envious person is in pain upon all occasions which ought to give him pleasure. The relish of his life is lost, and the objects which administer the highest satisfaction to those who are exempt from this passion give the quickest pangs to persons who are subject to it. All the perfections of their fellow creatures are odious." Don't entertain that deadliest of enemies—envy.—National Baptist Union-Review. ADVICE FOR CANNING TIME In the operation of canning and preserving, as in almost every other function of housekeeping, the "getting ready" is the most important thing and begins far in advance of the actual canning day. Some notes made last season will give knowledge as to when fruits and vegetables are to be expected, so that time and provision may be made for them. As the various cans and glasses have been emptied, if they have been washed and covers carefully fitted before putting away, much annoyance and expense will be spared. If the appetites of the family have been observed it will not be advisable to put up much of the unpopular varieties. Kettles—which have never been used for any other purpose than preserving—spoons, forks, knives, skimmers, dippers, funnels, jelly bags, fruit press, strainers, scales, measures are all necessary implements (others will be individually required) and should be in a state of perfect order and cleanliness. Have enough suitable jars, cans, glasses, et cetera, with rubbers, tops and covers at hand; plenty of paraffin, labels, cloths for wiping and handling utensils, and the labors of the preserving season will not plunge you into nervous prostration. Procure the best fruits and vegetables, each at the crest of its season. Prices are lowest then and there is less waste. Overripe fruits never make good preserves or jellies. A wise cook never tries a strange recipe if she has one which she has tested and found satisfactory. Tastes differ and an untrived recipe may prove disastrous. Use granulated sugar for all preserves, jellies and jams; light brown sugar for spiced fruits. Heat the sugar for jellies in the oven before adding to the fruit juice. Do not cover while cooking unless you want trouble. Have receptacles standing in hot water when the hot mixtures are put into them. Seal perfectly. Leave standing where you can observe them for a few days. KITCHEN GRATER IS BOTARY Implement Has Wheel That Revolves While Nutmeg or Onion Is Held Against It. As it is usually women who manipulate graters it was only right that it should be one of that sex in Ohio who designed the rotary utensil of this type reproduced herewith. The old-fashioned method of grating to nutmeg, onion or whatever it might be, was to rub the article up and A down on a rough surface. This implement works differently. A wheel with a grating surface is mounted on on upright, which is clamped to the edge of the kitchen table. A holder is hinged to the center of the wheel and in it is placed the article to be grated. The wheel is turned with the object pressed close against it, and the grinding process accomplished very expeditiously. When enough has been grated off, the holder can be lifted and its contents allowed to drop into the dish below. When the article has been reduced to a size where the fingers are likely to be cut in pressing it against the wheel, some other object may be placed between. Apples and Red Jelly. Take six good-sized apples and core them. Put two cloves into each apple and as much granulated sugar as it will hold. Place them in a baking pan, without touching, and add a cup of water, or more, as you think fit. Look at them often and try to keep them whole. When done, take out carefully and place in dish. Strain the sirup they were cooked in and put in another saucepan, with a little gelatine (dissolved) and a few drops of red coloring. Boll till quite clear and then put around apples. Set away to cool till supper time. To Prevent Graining. To prevent jams, jellies and so forth from graining add a teaspoonful of cream of tartar to every gallon. When making jelly if it should become like srup add the juice of one large lemon to every quart and boll until it jellies on a spoon. This will prove successful even after the jelly has been boiled too long. Fruit Sauce. Mash fresh fruit and let stand for three hours, and heat thoroughly before serving.
