Hilles Favorite for National Chairman. His Election Means a Square Deal. Hon. John C. Dancy named as the Negro Representative of the Nationl Committee. NATIONAL CHA Hon. Chas. D. Hilles Favorite for Means a Square Deal. How the Negro Representative (Thompson's Nat. News Bureau.) Washington, D. C., October 11. —If the people who do the voting have their way, the next chairman of the Republican National Committee will be the Hon. Chas. D. Hilles, the very capable secretary to the president. Mr. Hilles is clearly the choice of the leaders of the party. Intensely loyal to his chief and closely in his confidence on all matters of vital concern, his selection would certainly be satisfactory to President Taft. He is the unanimous choice of the Negro voters of the country, who will cut a large figure in the doubtful states of the North and West in the coming campaign. Mr. Hilles has shown especial consideration to the colored Republicans, and instances have been numerous when he has gone far out of his way to render the members of the race valuable service, both in an official and personal capacity. The colored people trust Mr. Hilles as they trust no other man mentioned in connection with the chairmanship, and under his guidance, they will rally cheerfully and entniastically to the Republican standard. Since his advent at the White House the President's strength with the Negro masses has grown steadily, and to-day the press of the race is practically united in support of Mr. Taft's renomination. The people are realizing that in Mr. Hilles the President has a safe adviser—a man who will tell the Chief Executive the exact truth, and keep him in touch with the actual conditions that arise from time to time. Sagacious and far-seeing, gifted with unusual tact, and possessing a genius for organization, it is conceded upon all hands that Mr. Hilles is just the man to carry on the next national campaign and lead the host to victory. His splendid work for the party in New York state in 1908 is not forgotten, and the effectiveness of his labors in giving vitality to the President's policies in Congress stamp him as a natural captian of men and an executive of rare quality. He is quiet in his methods, but gets results; and that is what counts in the final analysis. With President Taft "swinging 'round the circle," defending his administrative acts, the campaign of 1912 may be said to be fairly launched. The national committee meets in December to set the time and place for the holding of the next convention. Some have taken the view that there should be no action taken on the chairmanship until after the nomination in June—that Acting Chairman Hill shall hold over, as Mr. New did in 1908. The more aggressive and more experienced leaders are insisting that the election of a chairman be made a part of the December program. They correctly hold that next year's battle not far away, and there is no time to lose in getting the clans together in working shape. Since Mr. Taft is certain to be the nominee, and as Mr. Hilles is acceptable to Mr. Taft every argument favors the election of Mr. Hilles at once to allow him to adjust all factional differences within the party and form a compact organization in advance of the national convention. The colored Republicans join with their level headed white friends in insisting upon the election of a chairman of a chairman of the national committee in December and with particular emphasis urge that the mantle of authority be placed upon the shoulders of Chas. D. Hilles. THE PROBLEM OF LEADERSHIP It is not thought there will be any agrimonious struggle for leadership among the colored men in the coming campaign. There is so much to be done to put the Negro element of the party in fighting trim, calling for such a variety of talents that there will be work for all and ample glory for all. Among the office holders, Auditor Ralph W. Tyler will be at the helm. His able pen and sagacious directorship from the inside will be in evidence from start to finish. His work is already in evidence, as a matter of fact. Messrs, Terrell, Lewis, Cobb, McKinley, Johnson, Napier and all of the administration allies will do their part to bring victory to the G. O. P. The newspaper men, here and elsewhere, know their business and will attend to it to a queen's taste. To offset the sentiment among a very large contingent against the activity of officeholders, etc., it will be necessary to have in commission a non-officeholding manager—a man of organizing capacity, a DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 21 1911. State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House NIZING MERC ADC THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORAD good judge of human nature and a platform orator, who can expound the principles of the party in effective fashion and set the pace for the other "spellbinders." The man we name for this work is none other than John C. Dancy. The state leaders can work with Mr. Dancy and he with them, utilizing Mr. Dancy as the accredited representative of the national committee. With an arrangement of this kind there can be no confusion—no conflict of authority or personal jealousies. Let every man stand in his place and do his full duty. Not one leader, but many leaders—each charged with a specific task, is the plan that will win. Get wise! THE NEGRO IN THE SOUTH A New Orleans Editorial Which Councils Considerate Treatment. Speaking on the abstract question of proper treatment of the Negroes, we state unqualifiedly that there is every reason why, in decency, justice, humanity and good public policy, the better white people of this section should accord even-handed justice and proper consideration to the self-respecting, law-abiding element of our Negro population. In the first place the man who assumes a cruel attitude toward another human being stultifies himself. In the next place the man who does another a wrong or injustice unnecessary discourages and embitters that person. There is such a thing as noblesse oblige in this world—a carrying out of the idea that one who has the advantage of race, birth or breeding owes it to himself to treat others with kindness and consideration. The misconceptions of reconstruction times have passed away. The Negroes know their place in Society. The white people know that there is no possibility of any attempt being made on the part of the sane element of the Negro race to seek social equality or to strive for political power through the ballot. The Negroes have been disfranchised. They have no say in the government of the country to which they pay taxes and whose laws they must obey. Fighting them is like shooting at tame birds. Making an issue of them in politics is demagogism pure and simple. The fact that there are great numbers of criminals among Negroes, that many of them are the victims of strong drink and of the vices of our great cities, does not preclude the necessity of them with even handed justice or of protecting their personal and civil rights as carefully under the law as if they had wealth, power, influence, high position—and votes. The reason is that this is fair and right, and strong men, just men, chivalrous men stand for these things in all cases and under all circumstances. The Negroes are a valuable industrial element in the South. They create a great part of our wealth. They do a great deal of the work. It is idle and fatuous to argue the abstraction whether we would be better off eventually if they were not here. They are here—a condition, not a theory. They will be here while the rest of us live, an element for good or for evil.—Editorial in the New Orleans Item. Baltimore, Md., Oct. 11. The funeral of Bishop James A. Handy, who died here at his home, 1341 N. Carey street, last Tuesday night after a five-year illness from progressive paralysis, took place yesterday afternoon at Bethel A. M. E. Church. The remains lay in state all of the morning, and were reviewed by several thousand people. The dead prelate was born in this city December 22, 1826. He was left an orphan at an early age, and the only actual schooling was a brief three months at a local private school during the winter of 1833. The late Bishop Payne, when pastor of Bethel Church, took an interest in young Handy, and gave him private instruction. He was ordained in 1860 by the late Bishop John M. Brown. He was selected financial secretary of the denomination in 1888 and was elevated to the bishopric in 1892. He was one of the most active workers for his denomination. On account of declining health he was retired in 1908. With the death of Bishop Handy only a few of those rugged characters who forged ahead as leaders just before or after the Civil War remain. It is said that Bishop Gains, Tanner and Turner are the only delegates living who attended the A. M. E. General Conference in 1868. Elijah J. Graham Jr. Admitted to Practice in Ohio County Bar. Wheeling, W. Va., Sept. 28. Yesterday in circuit court, Judge Frank W. Nesbitt, on motion of City Solicitor R. M. Addleman, admitted Ehjah J. Graham, Jr. colored, to practice at the Ohio county bar. Mr. Graham is a promising young lawyer and is a graduate of Howard university and a member in good standing of the District of Columbia bar, and is privileged to practice before the patent office, pension office and several departments of the U. S. government. RACE NEWS Columbia, Mo., Oct. 17.—Judge David H. Harris of the circuit court today sentenced "Sunny Jim" Turner, a Negro, to life imprisonment for breaking into a house and stealing 25 cents. Turner is 22, but the records show this is his third sentence for burglary. In the city of Buenos Aires stands a statute erected by white men to a Negro here. The hero was Falucho, a colored soldier who refused to haul down the Argentina flag at the bidding of the Spaniards and was shot as a result during the first Argentina revolution. There has recently been installed in the public square and ice water fountain with this sign attached, "For white People Only." One would scarcely have thought that the first official act of the honorable commissioners of Mobile affecting the Negroes would be an act of discrimination against the entire race. The Negroes, like all the other people of Mobie, looked forward to the commission form of government with the hope that conditions might be better for them along all lines and that much of the inconvenience and unnecessary restrictions, so far as he is concerned might be done away with.—Mobile Press. An unknown Negro man was hanged to a telegraph pole in the railroad yards at Hope, Ark., Sunday, Oct. I, by a mob of whites after he had fallen in an epileptic fit on the street. The victim, who had been attending a circus, felt the fit coming on him and started up the street, presumably to find a physician. He had gone only a short distance when he succumbed, and fell at the foot of a white woman. The woman screamed, and before saner minds could interfere a crowd of white men and boys dragged the sick man to the railroad yards, where he was hanged to a telegraph pole. Have you taken the pains to study carefully the new $5 bill just issued from the Treasury. It is the first of this denomination to bear the signature of James C. Napier as Register of the Treasury. The peculiar thing about this greenback is that it is a veritable "Tennessee bill." On its face appear the signatures of J. C. Napier as Register, and Lee McClung as Treasurer. Both are sons of Tennessee. Also there appears the portrait of Former President Andrew Jackson, another son of Tennessee. No other bill ever issued bears the imprimatur of three men from a single state. The unique coincidence in this case was first noticed by Mrs. J. C. Napier, who called the attention of her worthy spouse to it. The bill is having a big run among the banks and people of the State of Tennessee. Nashville, Tenn, Oct. 2.—The Negroes of Nashville are just now in the thick of a hot city political campaign. They have the best chance they had recently, to elect a Negro councilman. They are in a fine way to win the everlasting gratitude of Mayor E. Howse who seeks re-election. If the Nashville Mayor loses, the Negroes will have to bear the stamp of disapproval that will undoubtedly be put upon them by an element of the white citizens. If Dr. Gillispie who is opposing House for Mayor wins the contest without the support of the Negroes, the colored people will be in poor shape for a long time to come because the majority of Nashville Negroes are against "the doctor candidate" for Mayor. The heads of all the large institutions of learning in Nashville have registered themselves against the present city administration. These include the Negro as well as the white institutions of learning. Assistant District Attorney Jas E. Smith announces that Harry A. Ulrich of $11\frac{1}{2}$ West 63d street, who is charge with assaulting Dr. Booker T. Washington last spring, will be put on trial in Special Session Monday. The assault on Dr. Washington was at $11\frac{1}{2}$ West 63d street, the educator being badly beaten and arrested on complaint of Ulrich, who said he took him for a thief. Dr. Washington made a counter charge of assault against Ulrich, who then said the educator had made improper remarks to his wife. Ulrich is out on $300 bail and at one time it was rumored that the case would never come to trial. Dr. Washington said he never had no intention of letting the charge against Ulrich drop, and recently wrote that he would be in the city next week to press the charge.—New York Age, Oct. 12.

Two hundred delegates, many of whom are from foreign countries, at tended the first annual meeting of farm women in Colorado Springs, Colo,, and from the intense interest shown, the excellence of the various addresses and the businesslike man- ner in which the delegates worked to effect permanent organization, it is evident that they will prove @ valua- ble addition to the Dry Farming Con- gress and will exert a foree which will ultimately carry out the purpose for which they have organized, ‘A south-bound passenger train on. the New Orleans, Mobile & Chicago railroad left the rails and turned over four miles south of Beaumont, Miss. instantly killing the baggage: master and injuring twenty-seven pas sengers and members of the crew.

Colo MEN WHO HAVE STUDIED SUBJECT READ INSTRUCTIVE PAPERS. EXPERTS ASKED FOR GOVERNMENT REQUESTED TO MAKE PROVISION FOR ASSISTING FARMERS. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Colorado Springs.—The sessions of the International Dry Farm Congress were full of interest. "The Dry Farm Home" was discussed, the following speakers making short addresses: Prof. W. E. Vaplon, poultryman, Colorado Agricultural College, on "Poultry and Its Relation to the Dry Farm Home;" August Muntzing, farmer and aboriculturist, Akron, Colo., on "Tree Growing and Beautification of the Grounds;" Prof.W. H. Lauck, superintendent United States Experiment Station, Eads, Colo., on "Supplementary Irrigation and the Home Garden;" Dr. Charles A. Lory, president Colorado Agricultural College, on "The Adaptation of the Dry Land Farmer to His Environment;" Dr. V. T. Cooke, dry farm expert for Brazil. on "Selecting a Dry Farm." R. W. Thatcher of the Washington State Agricultural College, presented the report of the committee on maintenance of the fertility of the soil under strictly dry farming methods. B. C. Pittuck, director of the district agricultural schools of Oklahoma, gave an address on "Secondary Agricultural Schools and County Demonstration Farms." He was followed by Dr. Theodore Krystofovich, delegate from Russia, who gave an interesting talk on the W. H. Who Was Among Those Who Addressed the Dry Farming Congress at Colorado Springs. subject, "Moisture of the Air and Salts of the Soil," in which he told of the progress the dry farming movement has made in his country. Y. Narayan, delegate from India, spoke on "The Influence of Dry Farming on East Indian Life." He said that eighty-three per cent, or nearly 200,000,000 acres, of the actual cultivated area of India is land which must be handled under dry-farming methods to get the best results, and that these 200,000,000 acres of dry land must, and do, feed practically the same number of people. India has a rainfall minimum of twenty inches, the amount frequently reaching thirty or forty inches per annum. Its distribution is often so erratic, however, that the growing crops derive but little benefit from it, and the general conditions are such as to evenly compare with those regions of the United States which get fifteen inches of rainfall a year. Scientific methods are being gradually introduced, "thanks to this congress," said the speaker. Resolutions were passed recommending that the Department of Agriculture remove restrictions now laid on the filling of homesteads under the enlarged homestead act. The congress wants the red tape removed so that it will be possible to file on the enlarged homesteads through the district land offices instead of having to make a personal appeal to Washington. Reports on the work done along research lines in dry farming from the experiment stations of the Western states, the United States Department of Agriculture and the Dominion of Canada were read. Another resolution passed asked that the government place experts in each county in Colorado to assist farmers in the work of scientific farming. The address of Assistant Secretary of Agriculture Hays on "Organization of Country Life Education," was received with enthusiasm by the large audience. Mr. Hays outlined a general plan whereby agriculture could be taught not only in the fifty agricultural colleges of the country, but in thousands of consolidated rural schools throughout the United States. The many and varied uses to which the gasoline traction engine can be put to on the farm was the subject for an illustrated talk of Prof. L. W. Ellis, traction expert, La Porte, Ind. RAISE MONEY FOR SCHOOL NEGROES OF NEW ORLEANS PURCHASE SITE FOR ANOTHER SCHOOL BUILDING — SCHOOL BOARD IMPRESSED WITH EFFORTS OF NEGROES AND DECIDE TO ERECT BUILDING. New Orleans, La.—The New Orleans school board has decided to grant the colored people of the Seventh ward a public school for their children. The negro citizens of the ward have organized an educational league and under the auspices of the organization recently gave an entertainment for the purpose of raising funds with which to buy a place for the erection of a public school building. Over one thousand dollars has been raised and paid on account of a public school building. November 15 the payment will be increased to $1,800. The school officials have been very much impressed with the efforts of the negro citizens to secure a school in the Seventh ward and have decided to put up a school building on the property recently purchased by the colored citizens. The new institution will increase the number of colored schools in the state of Louisiana to 1,044, and the number of school properties turned over to the state by negroes for school purposes to 643. Have Given Much Property for Schools. According to the last report of the state superintendent, there are 2,352 schools in the state for white children. Of this number of school properties, the white people have furnished 435 and the state 1,917. It will be seen that the whites have not given as much property to the state for school purposes as have the colored, but have received more from it than have the colored by very large odds. It is said that the school board has selected for the present and until a building has been put up on the place bought by the colored people, a building with something like twenty rooms on Allen and Miro streets and will put eight teachers in it to accommodate the Seventh ward colored children. The name the board will give the school is the Miro school. The Seventh Ward Educational league is headed by Rev. Alfred Lawless, Jr., pastor of Straight University chapel, one of the most tireless and energetic members of the race in the city of New Orleans as well as one of the best equipped, educationally speaking. It is reported that he will be offered the principalship of the new school. Helping him in the work of getting the school were Dr. I. J. Kane, first vice-president; Walter H. Adams, second vice-president; John T. James, secretary; Anthony Doublet, financial secretary; Louis Maspere, treasurer, and Joseph Wiltz, sergeant-at-arms, officers of the league. In New Orleans there are eleven primary schools for colored citizens, and even in some of the wards there is no school for negro children. There are seventeen wards and only eleven schools for colored children in the whole city and parish. This does not include private schools or schools maintained by churches and societies. The colored people are doing a considerable *mount of self-help and their children are not growing up in ignorance as much as some people might suppose they are under such ignoring of them by the state as the handicap shows. ANOTHER COLLEGE TURNED OVER TO NEGRO MANAGERS. Jackson, Miss.—In keeping with its policy of turning its large negro schools over to the management of negroes as soon as practicable, the American Baptist Home Mission society has recently named Z. T. Hubert president of Jockson college, located here. This fact, together with the installation of Prof. John Hope, president of Atlanta Baptist college, and turning over Roger Williams university to the negroes, gives the society a warmer place in the hearts of the negroes in the south, whom for so long a time it has helped and educated. Professor Hubert, who is one of the most advanced representatives of the educated young negro, succeeds Dr. Luther G. Barrett, who was president for 17 years. By his coming an all-negro faculty will be in charge of the work of Jackson college. The new president was born and reared in Georgia and understands thoroughly the economic and educational needs of his people. He is an alumnus of Atlanta Baptist college as a teacher in the State Agricultural college of Florida, and his long business connection with the home mission schools in Atlanta commended him to the society as the man peculiarly fitted for the work in Mississippl—The Seattle Searchlight. Barnesville, Ga.—J. H. Torbert, the most prominent negro of this part of Georgia, died at his home at Piedmont as the result of an injury received when his horse ran away with his buggy on his way from Barnesville to his home. Torbert had been financial agent of the Industrial School for Negroes at Fort Valley for many years and frequently made trips to the north, where he succeeded in getting all the money he wanted. He was an unusually intelligent negro, was well thought of among the white people, as well as with his own race, and had accumulated a valuable estate, owning a magnificent two-story home at Piedmont. His unfortunate death is deplored throughout this section of the state. A man sewing a garment on a large machine. WE HAVE THE BEST EQUIPPED OUTFIT INN THE WEST TO PRODUCE THE GOODS.

Mason, that matchless orator of the first water, will deliver his famous lecture on "Africa in America and Africa Beyond the Seas," Friday evening, November 10th at the People's Presbyterian church for the benefit of Scotts. Dr. Masqn has an international reputation. He appears before more white audiences than any member of the race. Do not fail to hear him. The John Stewart celebration committee is especially praised for the very interesting program rendered last Sunday evening to a large audience. The following members were on this committee: W. S. Evans, John F. Thomas, Mesdames Anna McPherson, Anna B. Dawson, J. D. Williams, Ada Castry. The following members read very instructive papers on the life and work of John Stewart: Misses Lela Rice, Irma Anthony, Mrs. Ada Castry. Mrs. Anna Dawson made a beautiful speech upon the work of the white women in the South just after the war. W. S. Evans made a timely address on "Missions." The little Juniors rendered their part well. Songs composed for the occasion were sung by the efficient choir of Scotts. Miss Irma Anthony left this week for St. Louis to attend the Sumner high school. Miss Anthony will be missed in the various church and so cial circles. She was a diligent worker in the church. Mr. E. Lewis left last week for Oakland, Calif., on his new run. Mr. Lewis has been serving Scotts as recording steward. Mr. Fred Brown has been appointed in his stead. Bishop I. B. Scott will lecture in Christ Methodist Episcopal church for the benefit of Scotts and also for the work in Africa. Our church is named in honor of Bishop Scott. The special series of sermons begun some time ago will be continued upon the Book of Romans. The night sermons will be taken from the Old Testament. The church is prospering at this period of its history more than at any other time. It comes from having peace with the rank and file of the membership. We are enjoying that sweet peace that comes down from above. The pastor and wife are very grateful to Mr. and Mrs. F. D. McPherson for a large donation of sweets for the winter. The high cost of living has made a large hole in the pastor's income and surprises like these are always appreciated. Come again, good friends. Mrs. Jennie Pierson has been on the sick list. She is much improved at this writing. Mrs. Mae Dow deposited her membership with Scotts Sunday. Still they are joining. This is a homelike church. Everybody who enters our doors is made to feel welcome. "Come thou with us and we will do thee good." Still there are other M. E.'s in the city who ought to come and join us.

We wish to thank all who contributed so liberally for the John Stewart celebration. A beautiful certificate of honor will be awarded to each individual who contributed a dollar for this fund.

Dog days is a name given by the ancient astronomers to the twenty days after the rising of the Dog-Star, or Sirius, at present reckoned from July 3 to August 11. It is a mere accident that the rising of Sirius falls in the hottest season of the northern year; in time it will be in the dead of winter. But the ancients attributed the heat and the accompanying diseases directly to the influence of the star—as also in Egypt the highest rising of the Nile. Growth of Queenstown. Queenstown, Ireland, where a new dock was opened lately, is quite a young town. In the early years of the nineteenth century Cove of Cork, as it was then called, was nothing more than a fishing village. Named Queenstown to celebrate the visit of Queen Victoria in 1849, when it was her first landing place in Ireland, the town rapidly increased in importance and is now a seaport, naval base and watering place, for the mildness if its climate has brought it into repute as a winter resort. Their Holiday Season. The mills at Oldham, England, shut down the other night for "wakes" week. Every industrial town in Lancashire and the West Riding has its wakes week; but the Oldham wakes are the greatest of all. There are more cotton spindles in Oldham than in the whole of the United States and of the 250,000 population, to whom they give employment, two-thirds are now at the seaside or on their way to the continent. Nowadays the continental contingent is a big one, and the Lancashire dialect is heard as far away as Geneva and on the shores of Lake Como. Seven thousand is no outside figure for those who choose Paris as their objective. A custom incident to the wakes week is that of arranging weddings for Wake Saturday, the first day of the holiday and this year no fewer than 300 weddings were celebrated. Theft Astonishes Caretakers. Theft Astonishes Caretakers. A strange robbery of a cardinal's body has been committed in the St. Flacre chapel at Nancy, France. Two cleaners in the church noticed that the flagstone of one of the tombs had been displaced, and on further investigation discovered that the tomb was empty. It should have contained two coffins, that of Cardinal de Lorraine, son of Charles III, duke of Lorraine, and that of an army lieutenant, but both had disappeared. Historians are amazed at the disappearance of the cardinal's body, and no motive can be attributed for the theft. A Nautical Start. "I wish we could have a sailor at the head of our educational scheme." 'Why so?' "Because he could appreciate the use of a spanker boom." Misplaced Oratorical Flights. Father Vaughan, speaking in Innerness lately on the labor troubles said: "The optimist is teaching false philosophy, and the result must be disaster to the nation. On the other hand, I see the pessimist mounting his tower and unfurling his flag, and shutting his eyes and looking down over the vast multitude." This is almost as good as the statement of a Conservative orator on one occasion who declared that "The British Lion, whether climbing the pine forests of Canada or scouring the Pacific main, would not draw in its horns or retire into its shell."

NES, LIQUORS AND CIGARS AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS The St. Louis Globe-Democrat regards as foolish the talk, now rife among Oklahoma negroes, about emigrating to Liberia. "Race troubles are taking place in some parts of Okla homa," it says, "as they have taken place in many other states, some of of them in the north. But the remedy is not deportation, voluntary or forcible. The black man is an American. His forefathers were brought here without their consent, and this is their country now, just as it is the country of the white men who are here." It is refreshing and reassuring to read from such a source that this is the negro's country. That other sentiment, "this is the white man's country," has been swelling in volume and popularity of late, however we always had a sneaking opinion that it belonged to the men who can use the opportunities offered in the strenuous art of getting the most out of life. The Globe-Democrat thinks the negro problem, once grave, is becoming less and less serious partly by reason of the dispersion of negroes throughout the north and west and because of decrease in negro population relatively to that of the whites. The negroes suffer from a higher death rate than do the whites, and there are no black immigrants. Speaking of the strong race prejudice north as well as south, as evidenced by lynchings and burnings in one section as in the other, our contemporary says: "Yet the turning point must come soon. Taking the country as a whole, the turning point has already come. The relations between the races, if we take the country in general, are much less hostile than they were shortly after the Civil war. Fewer massacres take place in the south now than then. Public sentiment is beginning to reach out after lynchers. Moreover the south realizes that it needs the negroes in its industrial scheme. For good or ill the American negro's place is in America, and probably as the years pass his lot here will become less unpleasant than it has been hitherto." We noted some of our prominent farmers, said to be worth between two and five thousand apiece, stealing in the back of the jim crow restaurants and eating houses operated by people who did not care for their trade, where he had to eat in the kitchen among greasy cans, slop and all manner of refuse. Next door was a nicely equipped colored eating house, which gave first-class accommodation for their color only. They practice non-support, not only in this business, but in most every available business operated by colored men. The grocery store, the supply store, etc. But there is one good thing that some of the men of the other race are gradually driving him back to his people. The white barber would not dare shave him or cut his hair. He has quit doctoring him and pulling his teeth. He has refused to bury him, and some of the grocery men have refused to accept his trade. Are you waiting on the white man to drive you to your race? (A good idea, it is.) Can you not see that your people need your support? The time is at hand that your people need your help. For instance, take our farming element who spend thousands of dollars yearly in supplying their wants, and suppose they would spend this money with their own colored merchants, then we would be financially strong to help or support any movement of benefit to the race. Don't wait to be driven to the line, but be men and line up for a stronger race by giving your own people your support. — Palestine (Tex.) Plain dealer. Our people spend as much or more money in riding around over the railroads than any people in this country. Much of this spending is unnecessary. They lope across the country to some big convention where they have no voice and are not needed. The big church conventions are the ones attended most. The preachers or proposed representatives work and "saw" on their struggling members until they receive a bountiful pile from them to bear their expenses, and live in ease on their distant journey and they don't do a "nickle's" worth of good for the struggling slaves he left behind. Oh, men be considerate, be humane and let your under man live. Because he was not born or drifted in your position do not trample him, let him live. If he must be your tool deal moderately with him and let him have a showing—Palestine Plaindealer. The negroes of Nashville and Tennessee, we are proud to say, are getting out of the habit of allowing some one to pay their poll tax. In the coming city election that will be held on the 12th of October, every negro man in Nashville ought to vote, and vote intelligently. He should not ask anybody to enable him to be a voter, but he should go down in his pocket and take his money and buy the privilege for himself, then he can exercise it as to his best judgment.—Nashville Globe. When the roll is called on the final day of accounting with mankind, those who have served their Master through alding his less fortunate children will probably occupy a high place, says a writer in Collier's Weekly. And those who know old Nancy Hill of Jackson, Miss., firmly believe that she will sit in a reserved seat on that day. Since 1875 this old negro woman has absolutely unalded and in the face of defeats, obstacles and disappointments enough to have crushed any one but a person sustained by a divine faith, raised to manhood and womanhood 108 orphan waifs—white and black! She has a queer, hotchpotch collection of shanties, built by herself and some of the boys she has raised, adding a room at a time as her family grew. She used scrap plank, bits of goods boxes, old corrugated iron, tin cans with the solder melted out and flattened. The rooms are crowded close together down back of the power plant at Jackson, on land owned by a railroad, and she is allowed to retain it at a purely nominal rent. Shading the house, or houses, are two immense weeping willow trees. With her own hands she planted, in 1872, the switches from which they grew. "Don't the negroes help you any?" asked the reporter. "You are helping the race by taking these little waifs and making good citizens of them." "Naw, suh, niggers is got no use fer me, 'cep' to push some po' ill' chile off on me dey doan' want. I ain' fancy ernuff fer niggers; hit's dis yer flashy business dat catches 'em. I raises dese yere chillens ter wuck an' be hones' an' spectful ter dey betters, an' ter be some 'count. Now, if I raised 'em ter sit eroun' wid red dresses on an' pink ribbins in dey hair, an' do nuffin', maybe some er dese hyar nigger preachers 'd come around an' have er kine wud fer me—but no money. Naw, I doan' 'spect no help, an' 'speshly frum my color. I'll fight dis out twell I die, an' do de bes' i kin, an' de good Lord won' expect' no more of me dan I kin do, wen I'm doin' mer level bes', 'cordin' ter what I is an' has, will he?" Some preachers seem to think that they were predestined from all eternity to indulge in sing-song preaching, and that a sermon cannot reach the hearts of their hearers except through this method. In this way the people have been led to ignore sense for sound. It matters little now whether a preacher talks sense to his audience since he has the ability to "moan," as his anxious hearers gratefully call it. It seems never to enter into the back side of his head that he is making the weak weaker, and that his followers are giving themselves over to the belief that it is all in sound. It is painful to know how easily most of our people are carried away by mere sound. The sermons which we are forced sometimes to listen to have made the impression upon us that the condition of our people in some cases is hopeless. What are we to hope for when our best men—our young men who ought to be "strong" because they are fresh from the colleges and seminaries and placed under the gospel yoke, so trained as to "rightly" divide "the word of truth"—will persist in this kind of sing-song preaching? They ought not to do it unless they can imagine the Lord Jesus and his apostles resorting to that kind of thing; and if they can so imagine then we pity their imagination. The white preachers of the old day preached in this style, but their later preachers rose above it, and now it cannot be heard anywhere among the people of the white race. Why cannot negro preachers take the same consideration and put down this "whang-doodling?" "Ephealm is joined to his idols," but we are determined not to "let him alone" until we can put in motion some influence that will prove a stumbling block to this preaching with sound without sense. — Southern Ploughman. A well-known revivalist whose work has been principally among the negroes of a certain section of the south remembers one service conducted by him that was not entirely successful. He had had very poor attendance, and spent much time in questioning the darkies as to their reason for not attending. "Why were you not at our revival?" he asked one old man, whom he encountered on the road. "Oh, I dunno," said the backward one. "Don't you ever pray?" demanded the preacher. The old man shook his head. "No," said he; "I carries a rabbit's foot." Call off there, and stop your knocking. Learn the law of your fraternity and be governed by it. Learn the law of your church and keep the law. Don't insist on being the great 1 AM in everything and everywhere; remember the world got on first rate before you came and has some chance of running a day or two after you are gone—Baltimore Afro-American.

SETTLEMENT WORK BEGUN BUT FURTHER DISCUSSION OF THE MORAL, CIVIL, SPIRITUAL AND SOCIOLOGICAL CONDITION OF THE RACE IS NEEDED FOR PRACTICAL UPLIFT, WHICH CAN BEST BE DONE THROUGH RELIGIOUS CHANNELS. Durham, N. C.—Hundreds of colored people in touch with the masses of therace attended the recent summer school and Chautauqua of the Na- tional Religious Training school, this city. This is the only movement of {te kind among negroes, and its of- ficlals are men of both races from va- rious sections of the country. The spirit of the Chautauqua was for the uplift of the negroes who were en- vironed to their detriment. The lec- tures and the other departments, fen- turing such well-known preachers as Dr. Jesse C. Massee of Chattanooga, ‘Tenn.; Dr W. Y. Chapman of New- ark, N. J.; Dr. Jesse L. Hurlburt, one of the leading authorities in Amer- fea on the Bible; Bishop Kilgo, Dur- ham; Prof. Kelly Miller, Washing- ton; Dr, Jesse Johnson, Xenia, O., and Dr. D, Webster Davis, Richmond, kindled the minds and hearts of hun- dreds of the race, who received a new educational value and exper!- enced a newness that gave them a determination to dwell amid the most monctonous surroundings to triumph over certain conditions making a large umber of their race parasites upon society. Settlement work is a new feature among the educational activities of the Afro-American folk, and this in stitution is the pioneer in such a needed work for the negro’s good The teachers and preachers were given lectures in sanitary chemistry. and during the six weeks of the summer school and Chautauqua ex- cursions were made to various sec: tions of the city that afforded the members of the settlement party an opportunity to do real settlement work among their people. The good accomplished by such excursions will undoubtedly become a potent factor in a large number of cities, towns and a large section of the rural dis- tricts, in the south especially. The negro that helps to make up the un. desirable element in the north and gives that section a phase of the problem foundin the south was dis- ‘cussed, anf the outcome of such dis- THE SOUTH IS THE NEGRO’S HOPE SOUTHERN STATES OFFER MORE INDUSTRIAL OPPORTUNITIES THAN ANY OTHER SECTION OF THE COUNTRY. ‘The president among other things said in his address in the interest of Hampton the other day that the south is the negro’s hope. Some people may feel inclined to deny this, and doubt- less will, but the sober fact remains that the south offers more opportunt- ties along industrial lines than any other section of our country. At the south the negro 1s on the soil and has abundant opportunities to buy land and further intrench himself as an in- dispensable part of his community. ‘This cannot be said with equal truth of any other section of the country. ‘The money powers are so entrenched ‘at the north that no legislative wor- ries are necessary to effect the social ostracism of the negro, At the south legislation 1s necessary to make ne- gro segregation effective. While the law in this respect keeps the negro to himself it does not prohibit the exer- cise of the most prodigious energy or the most préserving frugality. In this Mes the negro’s opoprtunity. ‘There 1s another phase of the sub- Ject which relates to the land and its price. As a general thing land 1s cheap, though gradually rising in price. This is not so at the north, where it is almost impossible for the masses of colored people to buy and own their homes. ‘Then the drift ts toward the northern cities, where liv- ing conditions are generally unsant- tary and unsuited to people who have been accustomed to a life largely out of doors. Then, too, the men, the plain men, cannot find common labor to do in the same quantity as in the south. This throws the bulk of the family’s support on the women, who can get all the work they can suc- cessfully do. Our friends see this and are not slow to express the same; among them we name President Taft. ‘The president also stated in that same address that Hampton had de- served the gratitude of the entire country by producing Booker T. Wash- ington. This is a splendid tribute to Hampton as well as a glowing esti- mate of the worth of Dr. Booker 1. Washington to the country and the world. Dr. Washington's life has been the most successful of any negro who has lived within historic time and in Tuskegee will rear an enduring monu- ment to his enterprise and genius. ‘cussions and investigations on the ‘part of student body directed by the president of the institution and ‘number of prominent northern and ‘southern men of both races has ‘caused grenter activity among those ‘attending the schol to better the ‘sociological conditions of their race in thelr respective communities and made it imperative for the following call, gigned by Dr. James B. Shepard, founder and president of the school: “To the Ministers of the United States: At the request of many who are Interested in the develop- ment of the race along all lines F have been asked to call a conference of the colored ministers of the United States at the National Re- lgious Training school, in the city of Durham, N. C., July 6, 1912, “This conference is for the pur- pose of discussing the moral, civil ‘and spiritual condition of the negro, to study sociological problems and to devise some means of working along practical Ines for the uplift of the race, especially through religious channels We realize that the colored minister 1s the real leader of his peo- | ple and that there should be co-opera- tion between him and all others who are striving for the racial uplift. We believe that the colored minister 'holds the real key to the situation, and for this reason we desire to have a heart to heart conference of all the ministers, irrespective of denomina- tions. “Such practical questions as these will be discussed: What {s the moral | condition of the people in your com- munity? What Is the sanitary condl- tion? What effort, if any, has been made to improve the sanitary condl- tions? Is crime on the increase? If not ,what was the cause of its reduc- tion? To what extent do you co- operate with the Civic Improvement leagues? Has settlement work to any extent been conducted in your com- munity and, if so, with what results? Many Kindred subjects will be dis- cussed. “The National Religious Training school invites all ministers to be their guests for one week, so that you will be at no expense while in |the city of Durham. The railroad will be asked to co-operate in this movement to the extent of making very liberal rates. Durham 1s re- garded as one of the most progressive cities in the country, and {t will be a pleasure and a benefit for you to come and see what your own race is actually doing in Durham. “All ministers who contemplate at- tending this conference are request: ed to make same known by January 1, 1912, so that arrangements can be made for their atcommodation. We will also be glad to have any prac- tical suggestions that you may see fit to make, and they will be carefully considered.” ‘The regular school term begins next month with a higher standard and a faculty composed of well known pedagognes from leading In stitutions of learning. COLORED COLLEGE STUDENTS. In order to find out the attitude of northern colleges toward negro stu- dents, Atlanta university (colored) ‘sent a circular letter to several hun- dred institutions asking the names and addresses of students and gradu- ates of negro descent and how they were regarded by the faculty and the student body. Many illuminating re- plies were received. Yale university answered that It never tried to attract negro students, but never felt justified in refusing ad- mittance to those who came. At Leland Stanford there was said to be no hostility whatever toward colored students, Fordham university, New York, replied that it had never had negro applicants for admission, and if any should come {t was impossible to say what reception they would meet. At St. Vincent college, in Penn- sylvania, it was sald frankly that “we do not think it wise under prevailing conditions to accept any distinctively colored students into the college.” Naturally none of the northern state universities draw the color line. In Missouri the line 1s sharply drawn. The president of Carleton college, in that state, writes: “I have not found a student In the state who would tolerate a negro In the college, and ‘it is even worse since the John- son-Jeffries fight.” So it seems that while Mr. Johnson won the championship, he did not help the cause of negro education in Mis- sourl. Nearly every year since 1826, when a negro was graduated from Bowdoin college, there have been col- ored graduates from the leading col- leges of New England.—Boston Globe. WELL, THAT WAS ENOUGH. “Robert, dear,” said the coy little maiden to her sweetheart, “I'm sure you love me, But give me some proof of it, darling. We can’t marry on $15 a week, you know.” “Well, what do you want me to do?” said he, with a grieved air. “Why, save up $1,000 and have tt safe in the bank, and then I'll marry you.” About two months later she cuddled up close to him on the sofa one eve- ning and said: “Robert, dear, have you saved up that thousand, yet?” “Why, no, my love,” .he replied. “not all of it.” : “How much have you saved, darling?” “Just $2.35, dear.” “Oh, well,” sald the sweet young thing as she snuggled a little closer. “don't let’s wait any longer, darling. T guess that'll do.”—Lippincott’s.

New Orleans—The longshoremen took the first steps beyond the pre- liminary stage in forming the gulf district of the international. ‘The day saw the partial organiza- ‘tion of the branch, and the committee on organization presented a ery full report, setting forth the princi- ples and aims of the branch, and briefly stating its objects. ‘This report is to be further ampll- fled and when completed will be adopted by the convention. Mr. Fricke of Galveston besides Grand President T. V. O'Connor, in the course of an address sald: “The black man has got to play fair with the white man and the white man has got to play fair with the black man. We are not going to attempt to take up the social equality, but we can if we achieve the proper organization bring out industrial equality. To you colored men, I will say that the white man {s ready and willing to assist you to get the same wages and working conditions that he enjoys but you must stand ready to assist your- selves. We must go about the forma- tion of the southern district with the purpose in view of being fair at all times with one another, and we must be ready at all times to render assistance on all occasions when needed. 1 would rather go home to- morrow morning seeing this meeting a failure than to see any agreement or promise made here broken after ward.” The committee on constitution re- ported progress and this committee may complete {ts work tomorrow. Officers will be elected and head quarters selected for the gulf dis- trict. The convention will end ‘Thursday. The above is very significant in the present light of things. The negro should not be discouraged but con- tinue true to every trust imposed, showing to those who demand for him fair play that their confidence Is well founded’ one, one worthy to recefve it.

CAN GO THERE AND PUT THE COUNTRY ON ITS FEET. Little Rock, Ark,—Halt! offers great opportunities for that class of negroes in this country to whom conditions have become Intolerable. The negro who would immortalize himself and plage, Ais portrait in the niche of fame can do so by going to Hait! and silen- cing the warring factions and giving to Haiti a stable government. Some- thing will have to be done or the black ‘republic of the tropical seas will be no.more. Haiti 1s a fair sample of a people wrongly educated. Their edu- cation 1s such that they are chasing after the shadow of civilization and trampling the substance under their feat. If Haiti will ever become a govern- ment supported by a law-abiding and industrious people 1t must be made so by men who have the ability to make hergich soil give up Its treasures, and not the politicians and lace-decorated generals of her army. While the men of influence and power in Haitt are working to get a position or govern- ment office, the weeds and grass are running wild with all that Haiti can hope to maintain itself upon—its fer- tile farm land.—Little Rock Guide. a SS eure re Sreeent a aeeee ae ; e e ‘Train Service ; BETWEEN ; Denver, Colorado Springs, Cripple Creek, ; Pueblo and Trinidad ; Particularly on account of iis frequency promptness and pleasing accomodations.

LICENCED EMBALMER Parlors 1925 Arapahoe St. Opposite Daniels and Fisher's : There is no gainsaying the popularity of the small hat for general wear. When it fits the head properly it fills satisfactorily, without doubt, the first office of a hat, because it really covers and protects. Most of the fashionable shapes also afford some shade for the eyes, although there are many which set close to the forehead. The are chic and pretty, but sacrifice comfort for the eyes, in a measure, to a certain dash and "go" in poise and style. The poke bonnet shapes, ranging from the real bonnet of 1830 to merely a hint of the type, has been a strong influence in the season. The turban and bonnet ideas have been combined and some entirely new models like the Alpine hat with folded over crown give a wide range of choice to the seeker for something becoming. The hats shown here illustrate three entirely different types—all practical and all pretty. They are made on buckram frames, covered with silk, satin or velvet, and their staple materials are used in the trimmings. The Alpine hat is of black velvet with band of bright green, laid in narrow and shallow plaits. A silk cord, with knot and tassel, and a nar- New Tallored Costumes Are Fascinatingly Youthful and Fetching on Slender Figures. Fascinatingly youthful and fetching or slender figures are the new tallored costumes, with a short, straight hung skirt and a coat cut on straight sack lines, with ordinary coat sleeves and a severe flat collar finish. Made of the dull hued woolens that are in favor, of velvet and rich silk, they are equally swagger, and serve alike for morning or for afternoon wear. The hat only is changed to suit the time of day. While the outside is kept quiet in color, the lining of such a coat may be as gay as desired., Many short skirts still show the flat, plain back breadth, but women who prefer a change order their new tailored skirts made with two or three small, flat plaits arranged in the middle of the back. A recent skirt showing this back effect has the front made in three tiers, each one edged with narrow fringe made of the material, a soft ratine, cut in slender strands. The large, flat collar of the accompanying cont is trimmed to match. New Dress Box. There are shirtwaist boxes galore, innumerable dress chests and many improvised receptacles for use in the woman's room, but the latest novelty is the result of an ingenious brain which conceived the possibilities of having a dress box, full length, to match the hardwood floor in her room. A cheap frame was constructed of pine, lined throughout with white oil cloth, the edge glued on the outside. This was covered with linoleum, a clever imitation of oak in two shades. It was glued to the outside and the raw edges were covered with tan leather strips, held in place with brass studs. The hinges and lock were of brass. Two stout straps were tacked to the inside of the lid, making a good receptacle for holding two parsnips, says an exchange. Ball-bearing casters completed the dress box and the owner paid much less for this treasure than a fancy one would cost at any store. The Age of the Fork. Knives and spoons are of very great antiquity, but the use of the fork is really, comparatively speaking, odern Indispensable as these adjuncts of the table may now appear, their use had not become at all general at the beginning of the eighteenth century row silk finishing braid complete the decoration. Silk cord and fancy silk finishing braids are growing in favor on two quite distinct types of hats, the street hat and the evening cap. For the former silk cords in black or the darker colors and for the latter, gold, silver and light colored cords provide a charming finish. Gold and silver lace, with fur, show the influence of the coronation more strongly than any other new feature in millinery. In gowns and coats military buttons are more in evidence than for many seasons, and cords are "a part of the play" on many gowns. All of the hats shown here are suitable for black or for the rich colors which usher in the winter bronze and purplish reds, deep browns, all shades of purple, deep clear blues and dull dark greens are the colors for ordinary wear. There are some rather startling and vivid tints in plain broadcloth, like old gold, delft blue, and light rose color, for cloth gowns designed for high occasions. Such gowns require millinery designed especially to be worn with them, or the big black velvet hat with trimming of showy white ostrich or marabout may be worn with their usual colors. CHILD'S DRESS. 1 Striped zephyr makes up very well in this style. The material is arranged in one wide box-pleat each side back and front, and is set to a square yoke, in which the stripes run horizontally. The turn-up cuffs and collar are of white lawn, hemstitched at the edge. A band of the material is worn just below the waist-line. Material required: 2 yards 40 inches wide Garnet Revival. Every little while sees a revival of some old-fashioned gem or style and now it is the garnet that women are wearing once more. Many forms it takes—and one may wear this pretty red stone in many ways. The finest garnets are the Bohemian variety and one may have them in rings, in necklaces, in pendants or wear them in brooches. There are barpins, too of garnets, and collar pins, slides and buckles for the belt. Use Finer Thread. Instead of using forty or fifty thread when sewing calicoes, etc., on the machine use sixty or seventy and it will look better and wear better. The two threads give sufficient strength and the finer thread imbeds itself in the material and becomes almost like a part of it, while the coarse thread being raised above the surface, is subjected to more wear.
