LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY Taft On Negro Addressed Large Gathering Angeles. Praises Dr. Wa of Problem Would be in Taft On The Negro Problem Addressed Large Gathering of Colored Citizens at Los Angeles. Praises Dr. Washington. Thinks Solution of Problem Would be in Widespread Industrial Education of the Race. Los Angeles, Cal., Oct. 23.—When President Taft was in this city Oct. 16, he addressed the colored citizens at Blanchard Hall, speaking on race prejudice. He declared that he had given the so-called Negro problem much consideration and that he believed its solution would be in the widespread industrial education of the race. President Taft referred to Booker T. Washington as one of the greatest men of this and the last century—white or black. The chief executive of the nation said: No friend of the Negro race would or could mimimize the obstacles against which you have to contend in building up yourselves individually, and in building up your race as a community in the United States. No one who deals with you truthfully would attempt to depreciate the difficulties or mental suffering that many of your race have to undergo in encountering cruel and unreasonable race prejudices, and no one either would do you any good who attempted to stir up in your minds that kind of a prejudice against those difficulties, against that prejudice, which would lead you to do something that your friends would regret. It is one of the facts that have to be overcome and one of the facts, which, when you have overcome them, will entitle you to the greater credit for the successful struggle that you have made. "I have taken a great interest in what is called the Negro problem, and I believe it is to find its solution in the widespread industrial education of the race, especially in that part of the country where the race is most numerous, through the Southern States; and while there is a strong feeling at the South that presents a difficulty, those who have studied the question and those who live in the South know that there is a large element of the white men in the South who are the real true friends of the people of the South, and those who are his enemies are not of the best people of the South, and do not have the true patriotism and the desire to solve the question presented by the races in the proper way. "I know that there are differen --- VOL. XVII1. ces among you. I know that your greatest leader, Booker Washington, finds those who do not agree with his methods of uplifting your race. Personally, I think Booker Washington one of the greatest men of this and the last century, white or black, and I think so because he has the courage, while he loves your race—his race, and would not be other than of his race—he has the courage to tell you the truth, and to tell you the only way by which you can earn your place in the community and render it better and better and higher and higher. "He has had the courage to tell you that it is work, attention, industry, that shall make you valuable to your community, that will cure the prejudices that you now have to struggle against, and, that when you furnish a mercenary or a selfish motive to the white, however low he may be, to respect you and to ask for your labor to assist in building up the community, then prejudices disappear and his interest yields and you get your rights. "Now, my friends, I thank you for your kindly testimonial. I want you to know, whether you do know it or not, that there are those of the white people in this country, and they number by the millions, that sympathize deeply with you in the struggle that you have to undergo and realize that those suffering are not to be done away with by eloquence, not to be done away with by expressions of sympathy, that they are real, hard burdens to carry, but it may help you to carry them to know that you have friends in the white race, that you have men who have a sence of responsibility for this government and this people—this government and this people that in times past brought you here against your will and have necessitated the conditions that now exist. "Therefore, the United States is responsible for you and for your betterment, but that responsibility cannot, in the nature of things, reach to a point where it will save you and elevate you unless you shall struggle on with bravery and courage and self-restraint and a determination to win." DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 4 1911. State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House ONIZING MERCER RADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO COLORED REPUBLICAN VOTERS OF MARYLAND SECURE RECOGNITION Baltimore, Md., Oct. 25.—In Maryland the day of the professional colored politician, who makes it his business to hang around Republican headquarters during a campaign and beg money for personal use, is about over. The Negroes of this state are playing a part in the gubernatorial campaign this fall which is out of the ordinary. They are not asking the white Republican leaders for money, but have organized and are contributing funds to carry on the campaign. Within a few days the Republican State Committee will receive from the colored voters $500 with the request that the money be used to elect a Republican Governor and defeat the infamous Digges disfranching bills. It is probable that more money will be contributed later on. The Negro voters have formed an auxiliary to the Republican State Central Committee and have established headquarters at 414 W. Hoffman street, a three-story structure, and the expense for maintaining headquarters will be met by the colored citizens only. Colored speakers will go throughout the state and urge Negroes to vote in November, and they will not ask any financial renumeration. The white Republican leaders have a different opinion of the Negro voters than they did two weeks ago. And what's more they are showing them more consideration and giving them a say in the party councils. No more is the Negro given a few dollars and told what to do, but his advice is sought with reference to the Negro vote. New conditions have not been brought about at the instance of the white Republicans, but through the Negroes themselves. With 52,000 colored voters in Maryland, nearly 18,000 being in Baltimore alone, several of the representative citizens decided to secure just recognition, so when a white man was appointed to look after the Negro vote a vigorous protest was raised by the colored citizens and the white Republican leaders began to sit up and take notice. Dr. Ernest Lyon, ex-United States Minister to Liberia, was called in by the managers of Phillips Lee Goldsborough's campaign and after he finished telling the white politicians assembled what the colored voters would not stand for they decided to give the Negroes an active voice in running the campaign. Instructions were given that the colored voters form an auxiliary to the Republican State Central Committee, and that they have full charge of the colored voters. They Deported Him Time and again we have referred to the increasing racial difficulties in Africa. The assertions have been based on the known disposition of the white men with their "superior attitude" and the known disposition of enlightened Negroes or dark races, the racial ferment in India and elsewhere being none the less that in Africa and the United States. The London Morning Leader recently commenting on a South African happening, where a white settler killed a native said: "We are glad to see that Mr. Galbraith Cole has been ordered to be deported from East Africa. It is not a very heavy punishment for the crime of which he was so strangely acquitted, but it may go some way to check the belief, very naturally fostered by recent events that there is no justice at all for the black subjects of the British Crown, and that they are liable to be shot with impunity by any white man for any offense of which they may or may not have been guilty. We can imagine no conduct more likely to excite racial hatred than that which lends color to such a theory; and which could lend more vivid color to it than the deliberate shooting of his unfortunate victim by Mr. Cole (on his own confession he fired twice at him) and the subsequent verdict of the jury. This crime had not even the poor excuse alleged in the Bulawayo case. The victim was shot not for insulting white women, but for being suspected of sheep stealing. There appears to be some excitement in the colony and declarations that 'more will be heard of it' are freely reported. We have no objection at all to a great deal more being heard of this case; but if Mr. Cole and his friends are well advised in their own interests they will not be anxious gratiously, to advertise the facts in the country. The results will probably surprise them."—The Freeman. LIBERIA GETS $65,850. Washington, D. C., Oct. 25. Liberia is soon to become in possession of $65,850 from the American Colonization Society at Washington, D. C., for educational purposes, which is a part of the Donovan Fund left in the interest of the little republic many years ago. A decision to transfer the money to Liberia was reached Saturday at a conference held in Washington between H. L. E. Johnson, President of the American Colonization Society, Dr. Ernest Lyon, the Liberion Consul General in this country, and his attorney, Harry S. Cumming of Baltimore. For the past two years the Liberian Government has been endeavoring to get the money, but the Ameri- RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES New York, Nov. 1.—Ann Maria Fisher, said to be the richest colored woman in Brooklyn, left an estate valued at $70,000. Lake City, Fla., Nov. 1.—Charged with participating in the lynching of six Negroes here on May 21 last, Samuel Ward and John Atkinson of Tallahassee were indicted today on charges of murder. Huntsville, Ala., October 27.—A shooting occured at the Agricultural and Mechanical College for Negroes at Normal this morning, John B. Pettit, a student from Clarksville, Tenn., killing Wm. H. Turner, another student. Other students held Pettit till a deputy sheriff arrived. Norfolk, Va., October 26.—The new segregation ordinance restricted the residence of Negroes to certain streets and localities was declared unconstitutional by Justice Duncan yesterday. The court held the question was one of taste rather than law. The case was appealed and will go to the Supreme Court. Baltimore, Md., Oct. 18.—The will of the late Bishop James A. Handy will not be probated until December, when the executor, Bishop J. Albert Johnson, will arrive in this country from South Africa. The estate is said to be worth $20,000 and the bulk of it will probably be left to the bishop's widow, Mrs. Mary F. Handy. Wichita, Kas., Oct. 27.—For selling two bottles of beer, Frank Johnson, a Negro porter, was given a year in jail and fined $1,000 in police court here today. It is the can Colonization Society has not been disposed to turn it over until now. President Johnson has been more friendly toward the proposition than any of his predecessors, and he has co-operated with Dr. Lyon to have the sum turned over to the Liberian Government. About thirty years ago the Donovan Fund was established by a well-wisher of Liberia, who directed that the money be used for two purposes, for transporting Negroes of the United States to Liberia, and in the interest of education. The Liberians have not derived any benefit from the fund for twenty years. A cable has been sent to Liberia informing President Barclay of the outcome of the case. NO 8 heaviet penalty ever dealt to a liquor law offender in the county and the first case tried since the cleanup started here by Governor Stubbs and Attorney General Dawson. Tuskegee, Ala., Oct. 14 —Count Basil d'Egert, Councilor of State, St. Petersburg, Russia, and Countess d'Egert have been spending several days at Tuskegee Institute this week. Count d'Egert came to Tuskegee, as he states it, "to meet one of the greatest educators in America," and "to see something of the work that man has done for his race." Count d'Egert and Countess d.Egert expressed themselves as being greatly pleased with all that they have seen and heard here at the school. Little Rock, Ark., Oct. 30. Because of his youth, Earl Gilchrist, a Negro declared by his parents to be 13 years of age, will not be hanged as a jury decreed, and the supreme court affirmed, but will serve 15 years in the penitentiary. Gov. Donaghey announced a commutation of the sentence late today, an hour after the decision of the supreme court declining to grant a new trial was announced. Gilchrist was convicted of murder in the first degree in connection with the killing of another Negro 10 years his senior. The prosecution contended the youth was 18. Numerous petitions were presented to Gov. Donaghey, many coming from Northern and Eastern states, asking that he intervene. Washington, D. C.—Justice Charles E. Hughes of the United States Supreme court and his family will be the only white persons living in the block when they take possession of Mr. Hughes' new $100,000 home which is to be finished within the next two weeks. The remainder of the persons in the block are Negroes. The new house is at Sixteenth and V streets. Shortly after work was started on the Hughes home, which at that time was one of the quietest spots in the capital, all of the property on V street between Sixteenth and Seventeenth was sold to a speculator, who erected 20 two-story box houses. These houses did not appeal to white people and were offered to Negroes. Justice Hughes has made no comment on his new home or on his neighbors.

SAYS COUNTRY IS BLESSED WITH RICH HARVESTS AND PEACE ASSURED. Western Newspaper Union News Servicw Chicago.—President Taft has issued his annual Thanksgiving proclama- tion calling on citizens of the United States to celebrate Thursday, the 30th of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving and prayer. The proc- lamation reads as follows: The people of this land, having by long sanction and practice set apart toward the close of each passing year ‘a day on which to cease from their labors and assemble for the purpose of giving praise to Him who is the author of the blessings they have en- joyed, it is my duty as chief execu- tive to designate at this time the day for the fulfillment of this devout pur- pose. Our country has been signally fa- vored in many ways, The round of the seasons has brought rich har- vests. Our industries have thriven far beyond our domestic needs, the products of our labor are daily find- ing enlarged markets abroad. We have been free from the curses of pestl- lence, of famine and of war. Our national councils have fur. thered the cause of peace In other lands and the spirit of benevolence has brought us into closer touch with other peoples, to the strengthening of the bonds of fellowship and good will that link us to our comrades in the universal brotherhood of nations. Strong in the sense of our own right and inspired by as strong a sense of the rights of others, we live in peace and harmony with the world. Rich in the priceless possessions and abun- dant resources wherewith the un- stinted bounty of God has endowed us, we are unselfishly glad when oth- er peoples pass \onward to prosperity and peace. ‘Phat the great privilege we enjoy may continue and that each coming year ‘may see out country more firmly established in the regard anc esteem of our fellow-nations, is the prayer that should rise in every thankful heart. * Wherefore, I, William Howard Tatt, President of the United States of America, designate Thursday, the 30th of November next, as a day of ‘Thanksgiving and prayer, and I earn- estly call on my countrymen and on all that dwell under the flag of our beloved country, then to meet in their accustomed places of worship to join in offering praise to Almighty God and devout thanks for the loving mercies He has given us. In witness thereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the United States to be affixed.

RUM Date oor cea esate anarcuer ate ae Washington.—Complete control of all the railroads of the country by the Interstate Commerce Commission and virtual elimination of the state com- missions from such control, is fore- shadowed ih an opinion handed down by the Supreme Court of the United States, ‘The court held that hereafter all equipment used on any railroad which is a highway of interstate com- merce, must comply with the federal safety appliance act. In its opinion the court held that compliance with the federal law is compulsory on all railroads engaged in the transportation of persons or freight from one state to another, Elaborating this, it held that the cars or equipment of such roads, even if engaged in transporta- tion within the confines of a state, must be considered as part and parcel of the road and therefore completely under the jurisdiction of the federal commission.

If animals, with intelligence enough to understand the combination of human duplicity and beastly savagery of the white men of Oklahoma, were treated as Negro citizens are treated in some portions of that state, they would develop into night prowlers, even at the cost of extinction. ‘The systematic effort to make this new state a worse place of abode for a Negro than any state in the South, can have no happy result. The Negroes there are not born to fear, as they are in the South, and they can learn the matural desperation of freemen.

" PROBLEMS WITHIN PROBLEMS. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON contributes an interesting article to The Independent of New York, in its issue of October 26, giving his impressions of the pecullar race conditions he found in Arizona upon the occasion of the recent emancipation celebration at Phoenix, at which he was the principal orator, The exercises of the day by themselves brought him in friendly con- tact and intercourse with Negroes, white people, Mexicans and Indians, and relative incidents gave him further experiences with Chinamen and Japanese. The practical adjustment of the civil and social relations of these varied race elements proved quite as interesting a study to Mr. Washington as any of his experiences upon his famous tour of investigation of the peasant classes of Europe, which resulted in his series of articles in the Outlook on “The Man Farthest Down,” and their favorable outlook inspired the hope that all of these elements “have in Arizona an opportunity which, if they use it properly, will keep that state a free country, in the broadest sense of that word, for all time to come.” To those of us in Colorado who grew up with the state, this article will recall conditions with which we were once very familiar, and it will also in- spire a forlorn smile over the delusiveness of conditions natural to new com: munities fast ripening into cosmopolitan centers throughout the entire South- western portion of the United States. The colored pioneers of every Western state or territory are invariably an intelligent, progressive class, who do their best to found a Utopia for their race, where, at their advent, and throughout a certain period of favorable development, conditions and opportunities ap- pear to be most promising. They participate in the liberal and natural dis- tribution of the wealth which the entire community is gathering from its virgin sources, and they quickly recognize the existence of opportunities su- perior to those they have known in older sections, and their hopes and as- pirations soar in keeping with the spirit of their surroundings, without taking account of the certain readjustment of the ratios of population in the years to come, or of the histories and experiences of other communities which have gone over the very same course, Their public celebrations and private social functions take on a degree of thoroughness and culture which compares fay- orably with that of the most prominent class of the community, and which is limited only by their remoteness from the great centers where fast changing notions and customs are originated. Their business relations are those of all new American communities where necessity cares nothing about the char- acter of the instrument of supply. Denver and Pueblo yet recall the time when colored barbers had a monopoly of the trade; when cafes run by col- ored men were easily among the first class; when colored hotel men, com- mission men, merchants, real estate men, ranchmen, truck gardeners, shop- keepers and even mechanics were highly considered. They also remember when Mexicans, Indians and Chinamen occupied respectable positions on the varied list of tradesmen, and in one way or another, filled an unique though necessary place in the community. In the last twenty years the population of the state has been quadrupled by that immigrant after-flow which follows pioneer development, and the new arrivals from the older sections, ninety-five per cent. of whom are white people, and one-half of them from the Southern states, have simply trans- ported bodily a large portion of the prejudices and notions regarding racial intercourse common to the sections from which they come. The result has been that the Utopian dream of our colored pioneers and the budding hopes of their less numerous followers have been swept away as in a flood, and entirely new and harder conditions have taken their places. Out of these fading dreams, the sons of pioneers and new fortune hunters have fled further west, to follow the quest of their fathers. This is the history of race ad- justment in the West, against which only the holding of the land can partially ‘avail, and this is the history to be repeated in Arizona, against which her colored pioneers may well begin to setheir wits. Girl Moper By BLANCHE BRUCE HAT poor girl moper who goes around wedging wormwood into your views because Miss Gild was born with a gold spoon in her mouth and you weren’t, or because the general divine ay ome of things has queered you from way back, or because some darling of fortune can carry around poodles while you must tote bills and order books—that moper ought to bring Se herself to task before she goes to the ash heap or under the ei tube roses. The “Brushwood Boy” and “William the Conqueror,” two stories we have surely heard of some time, considering the ‘fame of their author, can best give you a new relish for work if you have lost it through moping. The main people in these stories are all keen on the joy of using their facilities. Some of them even love their work first and their sweethearts afterwards. Then that delightful story of the faithful and conscientious Jane Eyre, and that uplifting one in which Maggie Tulliver, who never has the things she would have, has such a wonderful gift for self-sacrifice. And no books are quite so cheering and instructive to the worker as Dickens’ novels, in which we are always taken to the heart of work houses and poor houses and all kinds of trades and industries and brought next to people who have things to contend with like ourselves. The best way to get away from your own mistaken views is to read those of others. But there is still another way for the girl moper who suffers with decrepit standpoint. A stenographer who used to mope because she wasn’t the manager and who had too many dreams in her head that wouldn’t materialize got a turn in the right direction one cold winter morning. A half-frozen woman with two little children accosted her just as she left the snug warm apart- ‘ment of her mother, herself well protected against the wind in a new Pe ennill TUT’ COSKs: After she had heard the woman’s story and called her mother to attend to her comfort she watched a vision in costly furs and billowy plumes carry her poodle across a little snowdrift and hug him to her pretty self. This gave her another turn. When she reached the office, she didn’t mope. She only reveled in her ability to do the chief’s corre- spondence unaided, and reckoned that if fortune ever smiled on her in the shape of a real rich husband she would give more of her time to paupers than ta poodles. Constant nibbling of food between meals should be forbidden. It destroys the appetite, increases the saliva and interferes with stomach digestion. Children should never be hurried off to school in the morning with an insufficient and rapidly eaten breakfast. heir appetites are often poor at this hour from the effects of an ill-ventilated sleeping apartment and if they are kept at school for several hours without luncheon they ure very ill prepared for mental work. The greater number of children have a natural craving for sweets. The important role of sugars in furnishing energy in. active childhood necessitates the consumption of a larger proportion of sugar than is required by adults. ‘The craving of children for confections, candy and the like furnishes a true indication of the actual requirements of nature, and it must be admitted that a certain amount of wholesome candy, like plain molasses candy, not only does most children no harm but may serve them as an excellent food. Simple forms of well-cooked bread and custard puddings should be furnished as dessert occasionally. Tea and coffee should be withheld. They interfere with digestion ‘and wake the child nervous. Too much water should not be allowed with meals, and what is given should not be iced. duties is the only fly in the ointment, and in view of the benefits to accru she considers the payment slight and strikes a good bargain according! But the woman of primitive instincts, whose emotions have not bec dulled by civilization’s edge, the idea of marriage with a man whom s! does not love is an impossible issue. Every fiber of her being rebels at the bavier; she has no choice | the matter. Money to her is a very insignificant part of the formula for hapr ness, and not to be reckoned in conjunction with the big primal fore that go to make up her existence. She scorns to hawk her wares from one prospective buyer to anothe but reserves for herself the right to win her own happiness, and gives he velf with the splendid generosity of a great nature. Of such are the real mothers of the race. BP.

Sufficient time should be allowed before each meal to per- mit children to wash and prepare them- selves comfortably, without going to the table excited by hurry. And they should ‘be required to remain at the table through- ont a fixed time, never being allowed to swallow their food hastily in order to com- plete an unfinished task or game.

The books of the secretary of the Brotherhood will show that with but one exception all who played in last Thanksgiving day's game were en- rolled as members. Notwithstanding the fact that the organization has certain fixed and, we hope, high moral ideals to which we would encourage all members to aspire, yet we do not feel that any one who has taken the opportunity to investigate qur activities in the community among young men, can conscientiously charge us with trying to "shut the door of hope" in the face of any young man who is endeavoring to climb upward.

Thursday morning the court room was crowded with Manuel's friends to hear the verdict of the jury, and when the clerk read the words "not guilty" the crowd broke into an uproar of applause. Mr. Manuel was represented by Attorney O. N. Hilton. PRESIDING ELDER'S REPORT. Rev. J. C. C. Owens, presiding elder of the Denver district of the A. M.

He and family have greatly impressed the community. He is destined to do a great work in the city. Rev. K. P. Bond of La Junta is doing splendid work. Rev. J. H. Brown of Trinidad has entered upon his year's work with vigor and his people are well pleased. He hopes to build them a new church this year. The people of Ogden are progressing nicely with their new church. Rev. J. W. Fant of Grand Junction is succeeding grandly in his new field. The church and people are rallying to him to an encouraging degree. CHURCH OF THE REDEEMER. The Rt. Rev. Bishop Olmstead will visit the Mission on Sunday evening, the 5th, at 7:45 p. m., and desires that every member of the congregation will make an effort to be present at that service. It was the bishop's intention to take the morning service, but the opening of the new cathedral made it necessary to change his plans. Mr. Burritt will therefore take the 11 o'clock service on Sunday. Do not fail to greet the bishop with a large and enthusiastic attendance. Friends of the Mission cordially welcomed NOTES OF THE PEOPLE'S PRESS BY TERFIAN CHURCH. Sermon topics, Sunday, Nov. 5th: 11 a. m., "The Eloquence of the Heavens." 7:30 p. m., "A Bad Woman Becoming a Successful Evanuelist." Sunday afternoon from 5 to 4 o'clock a musical recital will be rendered at this church. The occasion necessitating this is the re-opening of our organ that has been undergoing repairs for the past month at Knight-Campbell's. It is fitted up with modern equipment. There will be no paid admission, but a silver collection will be taken up. The public is cordially invited. The People's Presbyterian congregation will observe Thanksgiving day at its own church on Thanksgiving day. The service will last one hour, beginning promptly at 11 o'clock. The pastor will preach a short sermon. Though late in the year, it is probable that a harvest festival will form an active feature of the service. The ladies will serve dinner and supper to all our members and friends. We are again stating to the public that as a church our aim is not to defend some worn-out creed, but rather to live out the laws of Christ practically. The pastor is under many obligations to the persons who complimented him by letters and word of mouth for the discourse preached to the men of the city last Sunday morning. Some of the substantial citizens, including our professionals, were present. An organization known as the Christian Citizenship League, whose policy will be one of progressiveness along all lines, will soon be a reality among the colored people of Denver. The Freedmen committee of Synod reported at Greeley the organization of a colored Presbyterian church in the Presbytery of Cheyenne. This and the People's are the only two colored presbyterian churches in Synod. The fallow ground is being broken up at Pueblo and the Springs for the planting of churches for our people of Presbyterian persuasion. ORGAN RECITAL People's Presbyterian Church, Sunday 3 p. m. 1.

BEING BRISK A GOOD HABIT Children Should Be Taught Quickness in Running Errands and In Dressing Themselves. If a child is allowed to acquire a slow, dawdling manner when told to do any particular duty it will be found very difficult to effect a cure, and this means a serious hindrance to success in after years. Teach them while very young to do everything promptly and to finish what they have commenced. If they are sent on a message make them to clearly understand that they must go direct to the shop and not loiter on the way. Children may be seen at any time carrying a message and lingering to look at everything on the way I often wonder at what time the poor mother gets her messages home, when I see a child loitering about instead of walking along briskly. Quickness in dress, also, should be insisted upon. If too young to dress themselves they should be taught to keep still while the mother or sister puts on their clothing. At a later age forbid any running about the house until fully dressed—and quickly dressed. Some little maldens are rather fond of looking in the glass while dressing and this is a habit which should be at once repressed. It not only encourages vanity but it causes the child to waste much valuable time. Sunday School Teacher—If you are a good boy, Willie, you will go to heaven and have a gold crown on your head.

COLORADO AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS It was many years ago that a wave of sentiment in favor of higher education swept over the race. A fewer number of years ago industrial training was brought forcefully to our attentions. If we read correctly the signs of the times not many years hence the religious training in schools established for this especial purpose will be acclaimed everywhere a new panacea for our racial troubles. In founding his religious training school at Durham N. C., Dr. James E. Shepard seems to have originated a line of educational work that will take strong hold not alone on the negro people of America, but on the whites as well. It is a peculiar fact that a negro leader has thought out and popularized each new possible solution of the race problem, and each of these movements has been along educational lines. Dr. J. C. Price stirred the country on the idea of higher education; Dr. B. T. Washington so impressed his industrialism that the whites appropriated the idea for their own improvement; Dr. Shepard's idea is now being taken up by the whites and they are beginning to use it on a large scale for their own betterment, not leaving the negro altogether out of the movement, however. It is, then, a noteworthy fact that negroes have worked out almost independently the ideas for the development of their people, while the whites have furnished most of the "where-with-all" to put these plans into operation, themselves being influenced by the transaction. Much attention is being attracted just now to the American Interchurch college being established in Nashville Tenn., to train individuals for carrying on religious work. The main college, for whites, will be affiliated with Vanderbilt university and Peabody college, while the colored department will be affiliated with the colored colleges of the city. The Interchurch college has a capitalization of $1,000,000. There will be raised $200,000 for the colored department, making the total endowment $1,200,000. A layman wonders if a movement of this kind means that the church is losing ground and must in this way be reinforced to be, saved itself; or does it show that the church has failed in fulfilling one of its missions? It has boasted of fitting workers for the Master's vineyard. Is this important feature of church work to be turned over to religious schools? Southern Life Magazine. It is a source of deep regret to see wayfarers among the younger women of our city. To see so many of our young women parading the streets alone at night, darting in here and there bound for a good time must make thoughtful men and women stop and consider, what is to become of our future? Such actions are not restricted to a certain class, the ordinary girl whose home life and environment has not been the best, whose education and society circles has not been with the efficient, but this is often seen among the real "best girls" of our city. Some of them run the streets and are like passengers as if having no home, people or good associates. Just lately some of the girls of city were forced to pass the words, "We must drop her," because this girl was making herself too common, had given up the idea of living a clean, respectable, decent life, forsaking possibly all chances of taking on the happiness of matrimony and bringing joy in the world with the beauties of home life. The Chronicle aims not to be a life preserver of those that are hidebound for destruction and immortality—with all hopes gone, but it suggests that the good club women of our city, individually for that matter, to use some influence in encouraging young girls to seek the right paths, to so conduct themselves that they may not fall and be lost by dissipation and finally lost as a respectable member of decent and refined people. No race can rise higher than its women and it behooves us to look these conditions square in the face; not merely meditate, but to act with a definite purpose of uplifting. Men and women, let us save the wayfarer. Let us put emphasis on the men. Young men and old men for that matter can stop encouraging young women to be out at nights, to meet at certain places, such as winerooms, cafes and buffet houses. Our decent young men should think of their own sisters and the respect in which they should be held when they in turn invite young women to places that lead to drink and vice. With the wave over the city to stop graft and gambling, it might be opportune to start a wave to save the young women, stop the passengers and way-farers in the streets and turn them in the direction of home life, decency and respectability.—Illinois Chronicle. Dr. E. H. Oliver, pastor of Warren Chapel M. E. church, Atlanta, Ga., sets aside one Sunday of each year as "Old Folks' day," when the younger people do honor to the fathers and mothers in Israel for their past service and present counsel. This helps to keep the younger and older elements of the church in harmonious touch, and impresses upon the young people respect for old age. The season is upon us when the college and university throw open their doors to the young men and women of the race. Many are returning to devote another year to knowledge, while thousands for the first time will seek the ways of wisdom. The educational institutions in the south have done more for the negro people in forty years than educational institutions have done for any people before in an hundred years. As we count the seasons and mark the achievements of the people since the close of the Civil war, we marvel at the revolution by the books and a consecrated army of teachers. Everywhere in the south the preacher and the teache. ought to go among the people, pick their brightest youth and urge them to seek a school of training. In this way we can build up a leadership, not with respect only to certain relations sought to be established, but particularly with respect to scholarship, to science, to art and to the professions. Sight must not be lost of the preparation the great mass of people ought to have in the trades, in agriculture, particularly agriculture, and the household economy. To us it is encouraging to note that much of the silly debating that got into the life of the race ten or fifteen years ago about education, its need and kind, has passed out. What the negro needs is education; the kind he needs no man can establish. Booker Washington was never wiser than in his refusal to set metes and bounds for the training of colored men and women. His opinion is our opinion and the accepted rule of all who study with a serious mind the situation in the south. What is education? As many answers to this riddle as there are philosophers in the council we have had. But it is safe to say that education, whether the spirit or method of it, gives the power to see two stars where we saw only one before, and makes two bolls of cotton to grow where only one grew before. Education, they tell us, means service, and he is not educated who does not serve his fellowman. That is true, but education means also individual emancipation, not only out of selfishness, but also out of poverty. It is a poor education that gives the man or the woman no power to lift himself up. Colored people can afford to disregard the warring ideas and opinions regarding education and insist upon the children getting hold of useful knowledge, that is, knowledge that will help us all forward to a wider life, and to a higher place in the higher life of the country. Any education that does this is the proper education. The education that does not do this is no education at all.—Editorial: New York Age. Governor Northern in a recent address before the Evangelical Ministerial union of Atlanta holds that religion is the only remaining sufficient solution of the negro problem. This seems strange when one looks at it from the negro's standpoint. It would seem that the real problem is not of the negro's making but is a by-product of white prejudice. If religion is the solution then whose religion? The negro has religion enough to spare and the evidences of his passive submission are written on every page of his contact with white people. Clearly the governor means that the religion of the white people is defective insofar as it pertains to according the negro those rights and privileges which are guaranteed by the fundamental law of the land. We are at one with the governor that only religion can cure the evil, but how can we get at the people with this pure and undefiled brand of religion. True it is in the Bible, but the people have become so accustomed to having their thoughts made for them that possibly they would not understand such a raw truth even though it should be found in the Bible. It is plainly up to the white preacher to do some real plain talk to their congregations concerning the teachings of the Bible along this line. When brought to a test can one really depend upon the preacher to say the plain truth about the teachings of the Bible on the race question? We rather think not. The preacher prefers passages which are not discordant with the sympathies and prejudices of his hearers and really there is more solid dollars in that kind of preaching than any other. Why blame the poor preacher for being human? He is not really able to be a martyr. "Love ye one another." The elasticity of this friendly relation has been stretched to such an extent that it has been broken in two distinctive parts. The stronger end is alive and energetic and it preys upin the weak end most terrificly. It's a common occurrence to some of our leading preachers, teachers and business men preaching and trying to impress the man that is not a professional one or in business. But he with all his influence, wealth, etc., will turn his hand from one of the brothers of the weaker end, when he is in need yet he has extortionally received his wealth from him. Treat your brother as yourself. If you will not help him let him alone. Don't pull him down.—Palestine Plaindealer.

THE RACE IS IMPROVING WHITE MEN IN THE SOUTH SHOULD ENCOURAGE THE NEGRO TO BECOME AMBITIOUS. Dallas, Tex.—A crowd of 1,500 people, one-fourth of whom were white, heard Washington at the fair grounds. The speaker said in part: "In the last analysis the negro, like any other race of people, will be tested by his usefulness to the community in which he lives. Our greatest protection in any community will be our usefulness. The race that learns to do something better than anybody else, that makes itself so thrifty, skillful and conscientious in its work that a community will feel that it cannot dispense with the presence and service of that race, is the one that will succeed anywhere. "I have said before that the average white lady in the south who is a housekeeper will never believe thoroughly in the education of the negro until she can see some of the results of education in her own kitchen and in her own dining room. The average white man in the south who owns a farm will never believe thoroughly in the education of the negro until he can see sane of the results of education on his own farm. Our white friends must be patient, however, with us while we are reaching this point. The kind of education that manifests itself in the kitchen, and on the farm in this country is new for the white man, but gradually, year by year, we are making progress in these directors. Value of Education. "Our efforts will prove of little value, however, unless the influence of the church and school reaches the most ordinary member of our race. Education and religion must reach and help the man who uses the pick and shovel, must reach and help the woman who washes, who irons, who cooks. From the very beginning, every negro child should be taught the dignity of labor, should be taught to get rid once and for all time of the old idea that the educated man and the educated woman should not work with their hands. "The negro must improve year by year as a laborer. The kind of labor which would satisfy on the farm and in the kitchen twenty years ago will not satisfy today. Improvements can be brought about by putting brains and skill into the most ordinary occupations. "A large number of white people, both north and south, have never reached the point where they believe thoroughly in the wisdom of educating the masses of our people. We cannot change their opinion by abusing them or by arguing with them. We must go on patiently, day by day, educating the negro youth in a way to let the world see that education makes the individual negro more reliable, more progressive, more conscientious in labor, makes him a larger producer than he was when he was ignorant. The very minute the world becomes convinced that this is the result of negro education, then public opinion will support in a large degree those who are attempting to give us education. White Men Must Encourage. "It will pay the white man in the south to encourage the negro to get education. The negro must have his mind awakened, his ambitions aroused. No man works unless he has an incentive, unless his wants are increased. In proportion as the negro has his wants increased, he becomes more reliable as a farmer, as a laborer. I need not refer to the fact that in a city like Dallas the negro man or woman who is most reliable as a laborer is the one who owns one house and wants to add another room to the house, or perhaps wants to build another house; is the negro man or woman who has $100 in the bank and wants to put another $100 in the bank. "On the other hand, the ignorant, shiftless negro, who has no ambition, who wants nothing except perhaps a chew of tobacco and a drink of whisky, will work only one or two days in the week, until these wants are supplied, and then he ceases to work. In proportion as the negro's wants can be increased through education, in the same proportion will he become more helpful to himself and more helpful to his white neighbor as a laborer. Race Is Improving "The time is here, and I see many signs of it throughout the south, when in my opinion, the best white people of the south are going to take more part in the education and elevation of the negro. The negro does not ask or desire to thrust himself among the white people in social matters; all that the negro wants is the protection of the law, that protection which will make his life and property safe, which will insure him a fair trial, whenever he or his family are charged with crime. In the courts of the state of Texas, when the negro is brought to trial before the bar of justice, charged with the crime of stealing or the crime of murder, the same law that punishes the white man punishes the negro. Since this is true, the negro should have the same opportunity in school and Christian institutions to prepare himself to meet the same test before the law that the white youth has. Every time a white man sits upon a jury to try a negro boy for the crime of murder or theft, he should put his hand upon his heart and ask this question: Has this negro had the same chance to know what the law is, has he had the same chance through education to learn how to control his appetite that the white boy has? "In a large city like this, the interests of the two races are so closely bound together in certain directions that the interests of one race cannot be separated from the interests of the other. While in social matters there can be and ought to be separation, in other vital matters the two races live together as one. Disease, for example, draws no color line. Crime draws no color line. If by reason of the negro's fifth disease and crime exists in the negro quarter of the city, that same disease will find its way into the body of the best white people in the city." Both whites and negroes shook hands with the famous negro leader at the conclusion of his speech. HUGHES HOME IN NEGRO BELI JUSTICE AND FAMILY ONLY WHITE PERSONS IN CAPITAL BLOCK. Washington.—Justice Charles E. Hughes of the United States Supreme court and his family will be the only white persons living in the block when they take possession of Mr. Hughes' new $100,000 home which is to be finished within the next two weeks. The remainder of the persons in the block are negroes. The new house is at Sixteenth and V streets. Shortly after work was started on the Hughes home, which at that time was one of the quietest spots in the capital, all of the property on V street between Sixteenth and Seventeenth was sold to a speculator, who erected 20 "two-story" box houses. These houses did not appeal to white people and were offered to negroes. Justice Hughes has made no comment on his new home or on his neighbors. NEGROES HOLD A SUCCESSFUL FAIR. Tuscumbia, Ala.—The colored citizens of Colbert county have planned a most interesting county fair and live stock exhibit, to be held in Tuscumbia. Many of the leading colored farmers of the county are taking an active interest in the project, and the success of the occasion is absolutely assured. It can be said to the credit of Colbert county that many negroes own their lands and a great many prosperous planters are within its borders. They have fine stock, cattle, etc., and use scientific methods in their farm work. They have comfortable homes, good barns, and, above all, many of them have well filled smokehouses and plenty of provender. They stand well with the white people, there is no race friction, and the relations of the two races are refreshingly pleasant. This is shown in the fact that the Colbert County Fair association has tendered the fair grounds, buildings, etc., to the colored association for their exclusive use during the occasion of the coming fair. WHITE LABOR UNION FIGHTS FOR NEGROES. Key West, Fla.—The Carpenters' 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 recommending 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. AT THE SHINDIG One of our most prominent college professors took unto himself as wife a very charming and highly cultured German lady who is exquisitely particular about all small matters, says Harper's Magazine. Several years ago, just after she had come to live in this country, she was ever on the qui vive for new forms of expression. One night the professor came home worn out with the troubles of commencement. As he was dressing to attend a very formal reception he remarked: "I wish we weren't going to this shindig." "Shindig!" repeated his wife. "What is that?" "It's the sort of thing we're going to tonight," answered her husband. At the close of a very enjoyable evening the professor heard his wife saying, "Oh, Mrs. B., I have so much enjoyed your shindig!" A TRUE STORY. "Seven years ago I landed in this town with only $1, but that dollar gave me my start." "You must have invested it very profitably." "I did. I telegraphed home for money."—Louisville Courier-Journal. FORCE OF HABIT. "Why did you break your engagement with that school teacher?" "If I failed to show up at her house every evening, she expected me to bring a written excuse signed by my mother."—New York Evening Mall.
