DEMOCRAT DISCUSSION 33 N Democrats Put out Thirty-th Walters and Others for One Appointment Given Last Session Washington, Oct. 31.—When the Democrats secured control of the House of Representatives and proceeded to organize it last winter, Bishop Walters, "Jim" Ross, and a few other lesser Negro Democrats came to Washington and conferred with the Democratic congressional leaders in an effort to induce them to appoint one or more Negro Democrats to a representative position in the House, perferably doorkeeper. They impressed the Democratic leaders with work they, the Negro Democrats, had done in the last presidential campaign, and assured them of the flocking to that party of thousands of Negro voters at the next presidential election. The answer of the Democrats to Bishop Walters, et al., plea for appointments was the appointment of one lone Negro to a messenger at $1,000, and the dismissal of thirty-three Negro employees and the reduction of one from $1,400 to $1,000. These thirty-three dismissals and the one reduction aggregate a loss in places held by Negroes in the House of thirty-three and aggregate a loss in salaries of $28,660 per annum. These dismissals, this wholesale discharge of Negro employees by the Democrats of the lower branch of Congress is an indication of what the Negroes may expect should the Democrats succeed in getting control of the Senate and the Presidency. In the face of these dismissals of Negroes and the assignment of their places to white Southerners it is hard for sane Negroes to understand what argument Negro Democrats can put forth to justify their espousals and support of white Democrats for election to office. One of the places, held by a Negro was that of stenographer in the Speakers office, paying $2,000 per annum, the place having been held by Jos. Johnson, stenographer for a number of years. The wholesale dismissals of Negro employees in the House by the appointment of one Negro Democrat constitutes little encouragement to Negroes to vote Democratic ticket this fall, --- or next fall. With the places formerly held by Negroes under a Republican House aggregating $28, 660, and the appointment of one Negro Democrat at $1,000, it requires but a limited knowledge of substraction to figure out a net loss of $27,660 in salaries to Negroes. —N. Y. Age. THE NEGRO SITUATION GENERALLY Five hundred Negro seamen are stranded in Cardiff, Wales. Striking white seamen, receiving an increase in their wages, returned to work. The ship owners preferred the white men. This is quite an unusual happening, and, of course, very unfortunate for those colored men who find themselves far away from home and without any prospects. We recite the matter more as a warning than as news. We are very much given to thinking that we inhabit the most inhospitable of all lands, having in mind the greater countries. Wales is simply farther England the country where there is supposed to be unquestionable equality between man and man. And without doubt there is not that hostility noted so often in our own country. The germs, however, are there, and only need development. Nor do we mean to say that the condition is peculiar there. Black and white races are not en rapport in any part of the world, and seemingly by the very nature of things will never be, unless the near future generations submit to a complete revolution. The recent Universal Races Congress in London, England, was brought about because of the fact that the races were two far apart, the divergence being based more on color than any thing else. In spite of education and refinement the colored races will not be accepted at par. It may be believed that those very things, education and refinement, set up extra feeling of opposition in that they are often viewed as misplaced. Re- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 11 1911. State Hist & Net Hist Society State House NIZING MERCH ADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, sentment takes the place of congratulations far too often. Evidently there is something constitutionally wrong, or else a grand plan of better understanding is being gradually evolved from the chaos of racial affairs, whose progress we cannot as yet discern, manipulated by heaven in the interest of the coming dwellers on the earth. This may be or it may not be. This conclusion follows: that religions, especially Christianity, will be bitterly assailed by men who value truth and righteousness until the drawing of this millennium. The poor eastaway Negroes on the rocks of Wales make only for an incident. Their condition there should not any more put those shipmasters to shame than it should in our own country, where other transactions just as reprehensible are going on. Nor do we feel to blame any one in particular; the thing is universal, and will only out by some higher law given by the Master.—The Freeman. ALBUQUERQUE NEWS T. O. Mason, has just completed his trip of stumping the state in the interest of the straight Republican ticket. For the first time in history of the state, that the Republican State Committee ever employed a colored man to stump the state for them. Mr. Mason's trip was a success, and he made many votes for the straight Republican ticket. The Republican headquarters and Republican Press all over the State praised Mr. Mason for his good work.

New York, Nov. 6, 1911.—Dr. Booker T. Washington, the Tuskegee educator, appeared in the Court of Special Sessions again today when the case against Henry A. Ulrich was called for trial. Ulrich is the German dog fancier who brutally assaulted Dr. Washington on a public street in New York eight months ago. Despite every effort of Ulrich's counsel to delay the trial, Dr. Washington has continued to press the prosecution; today he again appeared, although he had to cancel a series of engagements in Wisconsin and other Western States. The story of the assault was told in detail by Officer Hagan and Tierney, and a Wall Street bank clerk who witnessed it, and by Dr Washington himself. So complete and convincing was the testimony showing how Ulrich and another assailant had brutally beaten the educator that the spectators were astounded when, after Ulrich and the woman who was variously described in the testimony as "Mrs. Ulrich" and "Mrs. Alvarez" had testified, the judges by a divided decision of two to one decided to acquit the defendant, on the ground that the proof of assault had not been clearly proven. To prove his contention that he had nothing to conceal Dr. Washington fought the case to a finish, and is in no way cast down because the judges refused to convict the culprit who, with his alleged paramour, swore most atrociously in their efforts to fasten odium upon him. He feels he has done his full duty to his race and to himself in coming to New York to prosecute his assailant, at great expense and loss of time and energy. Immediately following the trial, Ulrich was arrested by New Jersey officials on a warrant for desertion sworn out by his legitimate wife, who lives in Orange, New Jersey. Assistant District Attorney James E. Smith, who conducted the prosecution, was most earnest in his efforts to secure the conviction of Ulrich, it was no fault of his that a conviction was not secured. He did his full and complete duty.

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of the John D. Rockefeller Fund for Education (the general Education Board), held in the offices of board, 17 Battery place, the report showed that the board has contributed between $600,000 and $700,000 to forty-one schools for Negroes. These contributions have been limited to the higher schools which train teachers for the public schools. Reid gave to the city. His wealth was made as a coal dealer. Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Oct. 30. Mr. Julius Rosenwald, together with Mrs. Rosenwald, Mr Rosenwald's sister, Mr. Rosenwald's brother and wife, Rabbi Hirsch, Dr. Graham Taylor and Dr. Cooley came to Tuskegee a few days ago in a special Pullman car from Chicago, to visit and inspect the work of this institution. The whole Jackson, Miss., October 30. A state of insurrection is said to exist among students at Alcorn College, Rodney, Miss.; a Negro institution because of the killing of Joe Alexander, a student, by John Hedrick, private secretary to J. A. Martin, President of the school, according to dispatches received here today. Hedrick, it is said, was placed in jail at Port Gibson. Charges of immorality and general recriminations passed during a series of revival services, and in the ensuing tumult the Negro Alexander was shot to death on the door step of the college chapel. Alcorn College is a state institution. Mrs. Hattie Roberts, 236 W. Fifty-third street, wife of Dr. Charles H. Roberts, one of the leading colored dentists in New York City, was awarded judgment for $200 damages Monday against Joseph Carr, a theatrical manager, by Judge Thomas Murray, of the Third District Municipal Court. Mrs. Roberts sued Carr for $500 for ejecting her from the first floor of the New York Theatre on the evening of September 6. At the time of the incident Mrs. Roberts was with her husband, who was also forced to give up his orchestra seat. Now that Mrs. Roberts case has been disposed of, Dr. Roberts will institute civil proceedings for damages against Carr. Richmond, Ind., October 28. Philip Brookins, 69 years old, a Negro, died this afternoon following a stroke of paralysis. His will was filed for probate two hours after his death. Brookins left an estate valued at $20,000. Among his bequests was $100 to Mrs. Rhea Reid Topping, of New York, daughter of Daniel G. Reid, multimillionaire Steel Trust Director. Brookins was befriended years ago by Reid when the latter was a local banker, and the bequest was in the nature of a testimonial of the Negro's regard. Brookins also left $2,000 to the hospital here which NO 9 Reid gave to the city. His wealth was made as a coal dealer. Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Oct. 30. Mr. Julius Rosenwald, together with Mrs. Rosenwald, Mr Rosenwald's sister, Mr. Rosenwald's brother and wife, Rabbi Hirsch, Dr. Graham Taylor and Dr. Cooley came to Tuskegee a few days ago in a special Pullman car from Chicago, to visit and inspect the work of this institution. The whole party spent two days here most pleasantly and expressed themselves as being greatly pleased with the work of the school, and not only this, but they expressed themselves as being tremendously surprised at what they saw. Members of the party were constantly remarking that they were not expecting to see the school half so large and doing such work. Norfolk, Va., Oct. 25.—Holding that the measure is unconstitutional, Police Justice Duncan today dismissed Ocie Jackson, colored, on a charge of violating the segregation ordinance, which has recently been put into effect in Norfolk. In passing on the matter the magistrate said it might be distasteful to white people who have a Negro living in their midst, but that he did not believe any law could be passed which would prevent the Negro from living where he pleased if he had money to pay rent or buy property, provided he behaved himself. The matter will be carried to the City Circuit Court and then to the Supreme Court to test the constitutionality of the ordinance. Raleigh, N.C., Oct. 30.—Secretary Hamlin of the North Carolina Negro State Fair says that the attendance this year was the largest in the history of the association, which has been holding these annual State fairs for the past 35 years. The weather was splendid and there was a large number of Negroes from all parts of the State for the fair. There was a big concert, for which the Negroes were granted the use of Raleigh's great auditorium. The attendance was estimated at 2,500. The crowd at the fair the biggest day (Thursday) was 10,000. Announcement is made that Love Brothers, successful Negro druggists, of this city, will head a big stock company of Negroes to erect a $15,000 Negro hotel, to be erected on the corner of Davis and Blount streets. Raleigh has no Negro hotel at all now.

T. WASHINGTON ENDS TEXAS TOUR Large Crowds of White and Blacks Welcome Educator in Every Town. WHITES HELP TO HIRE HALL MAKE UP 85 PER CENT. OF EXPENSES AT EL PASO—EMMETT J. SCOTT ALSO GIVEN OVATION IN HIS HOME STATE. Texarkana, Tex.—Dr. Booker T. Washington's tour of Texas, in which he also visited towns in Arizona, ended here. The educator was accompanied by a party of prominent and well-known colored men from various portions of the country. Everywhere the distinguished educator received overwheming demonstrations of regard and affection, mingled with exultant pride on the part of the negro people. Equally cordial was the reception given him by representative white men in various paces, notably the conference with Mayor Callaghan in San Antonio, the presentation free of cost of the City Auditorium, a building seating more than seven thousand people, by the mayor of Houston, the more than cordial address by Mayor T. P. Wooldridge of Austin, the address of welcome by City Superintendent J. C. Lattimore at Waco, and the perfectly frank yet friendly address of introduction by Hon. Chesley Adams, former county superintendent of schools, at Marshall. As on former occasions, Doctor Washington was accompanied by a party of distinguished negroes, among them being Emmett J. Scott, his secretary; Booker T. Washington, Jr., Dr. J. A. Kenney, resident physician; A. R. Ammons of the Institute battalion, Tuskegee institute, Alabama; W. T. B. Williams, Agent John F. Slater and Jeans fund boards, Hampton, Va.; Bishop I. B. Scott, bishop of Africa, the Methodist Episcopal church; Dr. H. T. Kealing, president Western university, Quindoro, Kan.; Dr. E. C. Morris, president National Baptist convention, Helena, Ark.; Charles S. Tador, representing the New York Evening Post, New York city; Dr. R. E. Park, magazine writer, Boston, Mass.; Horace D. Slater, general newspaper correspondent, Hopkinsville, Ky.; A. P. Bedou, official photographer, New Orleans, La.; Walter L. Cohen, former register U. S. land office, New Orleans, La.; J. B. Bell, capitalist, Houston, Tex.; R. L. Smith, president Texas Negro Business league, Waco; R. C. Houston, president Provident Savings bank, Fort Worth; Dr. E. M. Griggs, president Farmers' bank and Trust Co., Palestine, Tex.; Rev. L. L. Campbell, president General Baptist convention, Austin, Tex.; Dr. M. W. Dogan, president Wiley university, Marshall, Tex.; Dr. E. L. Blackshear, principal Prairie View State Normal school; Prof. W. C. Rollins, treasurer Prairie View State Normal school, and others. Coming into the state from Arizona points the first address on Texas soil was made in El Paso, where Doctor Washington had an immense audience, two-thirds of which were white. On account of the comparatively small number of colored people in El Paso, the white people of the city made up 85 per cent, of the expenses necessary to hire the theater in which Doctor Washington spoke. The welcome and reception given the distinguished educator in San Antonio, where the party mobilized, in a very commendable way set the pace for all other cities, in its cordiality. Fully three thousand people, about one thousand of whom were white, filled every available seat in the Beethoven hall, crowded in the windows and stood around the walls and aisles to hear the famous Tuskegee negro educator speak. The big audience cheered the speaker at almost every utterance, and at his own request the negro members sang two old-time negro plantation songs, "Lord, I'm Climbing Up Jacob's Ladder" and "The Old-Time Religion." Doctor Washington spoke to the negro children at the Second Baptist church, counseling them to make their education worth while in their everyday lives and to take their mothers and fathers in their training with them. Doctor Washington was met by a reception committee and taken immediately to the residence of Dr. J. C. Walton, where he was entertained during the day. He and his party went to the City hall, where he paid his respects to Mayor Callaghan. "I am pleased to meet you," said the mayor. "Your name is known throughout the world, and I have great respect for your great work at Tuskegee." He was greeted in a manner equally cordial by Aldermen Mauermann and Wickeland. He expressed great satisfaction over the friendly relations existing in San Antonio between the races, adding that when away from here San Antonio negroes were loud in singing the praises of the city. "We are fair to our colored citizens," declared the mayor, who was invited by Doctor Walton to attend the meeting at Beethoven hall. The mayor then greeted young Booker T. Washington, who was clothed in the uniform of an officer of the Tuskegee Institute battalion. The welcome given Doctor Washington at the Douglass High school, where he was entertained at luncheon, was unique and prepared by the domestic science class. The children of the High school arranged on tiers on the steps and singing "Our Leader" as he approached the building. Just before being seated they again sang, "We Welcome You," a song especially written for the occasion by Principal S. J. Sutton of the High school. All the negro school children of the city were addressed by Doctor Washington for about fifteen minutes at Second Baptist church, many of the parents crowding into the church to hear him. Some 2,000 people in all were crowded into the building. Emmett J. Scott was none the less welcome. Being formerly a Texas boy, who went to Tuskegee fourteen years ago, he was busy all day receiving the congratulations of his former friends. A large number of white people were in the audience, and to them as well as to the negroes did Doctor Washington address sane and safe counsel with reference to the color question in the south. His address was filled with sparkling gems of eloquence and many pungent wittisms, and at all times he was able to hold his audience by some remarkable anecdote aptly told. The meeting was presided over by Dr. J. T. Walton, a local negro physician, who delivered an address of welcome. Declaring that few living Americans had made such an impression upon public opinion, removed so many prejudices and awakened greater helpfulness in relation to the solution of a problem, Dr. W. M. Drake introduced Doctor Washington to the audience, who rose to speak amongst deafening applause. A wreck on the Southern Pacific made the train seven hours late reaching Houston and much of the program mapped out by the local committee had to be curtailed. Here Emmett J. Scott received another ovation, this being his home place, and the point from which he joined Doctor Washington fourteen years ago to become his secretary. Fully 2,000 white and colored people crowded to the station and lined the sidewalks on the way from the Southern Pacific station to the home of the Orgen company, to which place Doctor Washington immediately repaired and made a short speech to the negro business men of the city. In an informal way he told the negro business men to cultivate friendly relations with the white business men, and congratulated them upon the remarkable showing made. From the office of the Orgen company Doctor Washington and his party drove immediately to Trinity Methodist Episcopal church, where the colored school children had assembled to hear him. City Superintendent P. W. Horn and County Superintendent Pugh had made arrangements whereby the entire force of colored teachers and students could hear the distinguished negro educator. The automobile ride that had been planned was abandoned owing to the lateness of the hour, and the Washington party was conducted to the home of J. B. Bell, 2121 German street, where dinner was served the party. A feature of the dinner was disclosed in the fact that it had been prepared entirely by the female students of the Langston school in the domestic science department. Besides the men of the immediate party there were present at the reception: Y. U. Jones, Thompson, Tex.; C. N. Love, editor of the Texas Freeman; Rev. G. A. Des Landes, Prof. David Abner, R. W. Walker, Rev. F. L. Light, Prof. F. W. Gross, George W. Jenkins, J. Leon Jones and Campbell A. Gilmore. From the residence of J. B. Bell the party was entertained by the trustees of the Carnegie library at the residence of Dr. J. B. Covington. The reception was largely a tribute to Doctor Washington and his secretary, Emmett J. Scott, who, more than any other individuals, were responsible for securing the donation of a library for the colored people of Houston. The trustees entertaining the party were: E. O. Smith, John Adkins, J. B. Bell, W. E. Miller, L. J. Spivey, W. D. Johnson, Andrew Parr, Richard Lockett, Nat Q. Henderson. When Doctor Washington stepped on the platform at the Auditorium he received an ovation. To one side of the platform were a number of Tuskegee alumni, and they greeted their former chief with the college yell. Doctor Washington acknowledged both gracefully and took his place on the platform. With him on the platform were a number of leading negro professional men and the following white men: L. L. Pugh, county superintendent of schools; Adolph Boldt, Rev, Peter Gray Sears, Rev. Stephen F. Power, Rev. G. W. Strong, Prof. J. A. Brown, Judge Lock McDaniel, Judge T. W. Ford, Lewis R. Bryan and G. Van Amigenic. One very interesting and pleasing feature of the Houston engagement was the address of Emmett J. Scott, who was repeatedly called upon by the people for a speech. With evident embarrassment, born of his well known modest and retiring disposition, he in a few short words accepted the greetings from his fellow townsmen, saying in part: "It is the common-place, the trite, the quite bromidic thing to say that I am glad to be here tonight with Doctor Washington in this matchless city, the place of my birth, the queen city of the Lone Star state. The years have not flown too fast to dim my memory of the greatness of Texas, nor have the duties and responsibilities of the advancing years served to make me forget the radiant glory of the golden crown which encircles her imperial brow. No matter where I find myself, I am first of all a Texan!" Singing an original song dedicated to Booker T. Washington, 800 negro students of the Prairie View Normal and Industrial institute lined up in two rows, gave the famous negro educator a royal welcome here when he and his party approached the institute grounds. The venerable Bishop L. B. Scott, the only negro bishop in the Methodist Episcopal church, received a remarkable tribute, as did also R. L. Smith, the negro farmer's friend in Texas. Emmett J. Scott, here as at Houston, received a remarkable ovation and was repeatedly called upon for a speech. The entire party, led by Principal Blackshear and Dr. Booker T. Washington, went on a round of inspection of the industrial divisions. Here he spoke to about 5,000 farmers of both races. The address at Temple was made at midday when hundreds of country folk, white and black, were in town for their week-end shopping and other business errands. The audience was composed of more white than colored, the speaking taking place in the open air on the public square. That night at Austin, the following night, Doctor Washington spoke in Wooldridge Park in a natural amphitheater formed by the rise of the hills on each side of the speaker's stand. Fully five thousand people heard his address here. He was welcomed to the city by Mayor Wooldridge, in whose honor the park had been named. At Austin the whole party went through a round of festivities, having breakfast at the St. John orphanage, dinner at Sam Houston college and luncheon at Tiltson college. At all places where there were institutions of learning, Doctor Washington was pressed into service for short addresses to the students. Waco, the home of R. L. Smith, president of the Texas Negro Business league, gave the party the noisest welcome and the biggest relative crowd at the station that had been encountered up to this point. Many people surrounded the station when the train arrived several hours late. The students of Central Texas and Paul Quinn colleges gave him a joyous reception, and at night in the baseball park, while he was being introduced by the city superintendent of schools, Prof. J. C. Lattimore, the entire student body, male and female, of Baylor university, a well known southern college for white youths, took seats on the grand stand. Professor Lattimore in his introduction surprised Doctor Washington by giving a detailed account of the sights he witnessed and the impressions made upon him in a recent trip to Tuskegee institute. Doctor Washington was warmly greeted by Dr. S. P. Brooks, president of Baylor university, Professor Lattimore, Samuel Sanger, a Texas merchant prince, and other well known white men of Waco. A belated train greatly inconvenienced the waiting throng at Fort Worth which in many respects is one of the most important towns from a negro standpoint in the state. While the party was scheduled to reach Fort Worth in the afternoon and Doctor Washington was to have spoken at three o'clock, the audience of about 5,000 persons, a large portion of which were white, kept their seats in the theater until nine o'clock, when the train finally reached the city. The reception by reason of the tardiness of the party was none the less vigorous, and was in many respects a great tribute to the remarkable esteem in which R. C. Houston, the Fort Worth leader, is held by his fellow townsmen. Despite this handicap and the fact that the Fort Worth engagement was on Sunday night, all the prominent negro business houses were open for the inspection of the party, the most interesting features in negro life in Fort Worth being the Masonic temple, erected at a cost of $50,000, and the negro high school, which is considered the best in the south, and the large number of business establishments of various kinds conducted by the colored people. A large number of people heard Doctor Washington at the state fair grounds in Dallas on Monday. In the matter of enthusiasm and spectacular display the small town of Marshall outdid itself in the demonstration given Doctor Washington. The local Negro Business league had charge of the arrangements and with more than ordinary acumen, dispatched Dr. W. M. Dogan to accompany the party, within a few days of Dallas. A parade, more than a mile in length, in which the various industrial divisions from Wiley university and Bishop college and the Central high school were represented on tastily decorated floats. Girls from sewing classes were at work on the floats, from the printing divisions, the domestic science departments, and so in all departments. Small boys from the wood working departments, dressed in overalls, carrying their tools, mule driven teams drawing street cleaning and street building apparatus followed, while the parade was headed by the Wiley university brass band and the local Business league. As to other points visited, the people who attended the meeting seemed to be of the very best element, well dressed, well behaved. The singing by the Wiley University Glee club here was a feature of the occasion. Doctor Washington was introduced by Hon. Chesley Adams, former county superintendent of public schools, who paid a high tribute to Doctor Washington and the negroes of Harrison county.

STEAM HEAT Denver, Colo AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS At the Grand opera house in this city, the people of Texarkana will have the opportunity of listening to one of the leading negro educators of the world. Booker T. Washington, president and founder of the Tuskegee Industrial Institute at Tuskegee, Ala., is beyond any kind of cavil or doubt, today, the foremost man of his race, not only in the United States, but in the world. He is known throughout the United States and is well liked by the leading men of all creeds and political parties because of his real worth among the people of his race along lines which, if followed, certainly stand for the moral and industrial uplift of the American negro. He believes in education for the negro in the United States, but qualifies this belief with the suggestion that the education must be practical and in such way that it will prepare the negro for a life of usefulness in the community in which he lives. There are certain people in various parts of the country who differ with the distinguished colored man, in this respect, but their number, never large, is constantly decreasing. Booker Washington would eliminate every particle of idleness among the members of his race, by inculcating energy, morality and industrious habits through the medium of industrial schools and colleges. Albeit he is not encouraging the colored people to enter politics. He has seen enough of this to know that there is very little in it for the white man and nothing for the negro. To be industrious, honest and attentive to business, whatever that business is, seems to be the great vital text upon which the career of Washington centers, and it is a most worthy one. It took Washington a long time to prove to the people—the white people of the south—that he is sincere, but he succeeded in doing so and now he has the satisfaction of knowing that throughout the nation, institutes like his beloved Tuskegee, are being established and that great and lasting results for good are flowing there from. It is sincerely hoped that his visit to Texarkana will be productive of good things. Not that the white and colored people are not on good terms, for it can be stated here that the races are on excellent terms, there is no point of conflict and the colored people as a rule are industrious and lawabiding; but simply because his discussion of the principal features of the race problem, from an industrial viewpoint, will be beneficial to the entire citizenship.—Editorial: Texarkana (Tex.) Courier. A quaint or homely way of expressing a truth is often the most forceful. A minister, possessing an irrepretable sense of humor, has been lecturing us as to the best way to get along in the world. He said one need know merely how to "tickle the world" to get from it a measure of what may be wanted. These are his illustrations: He tickled an old sow with a stick, on one occasion, and she edged over toward him to be tickled some more. The tickling was repeated several times, and soon she was flat on her back enjoying the flattery to the highest. Tickle the ground, said he, and it will yield in comparative abundance. Some young men put up the wall that young women will not accept their attentions. These fellows are green on the "tickling process." "Tickling the world" is another way of saying that success with the public depends principally on the way people are approached—on the tact a person shows in his daily dealings with his fellows. Carry a cheerful expression, smile often, and people will smile back and give you a respectful hearing. It is the head-headed, close-cloaked person going about with an air of "I know everything-you-know-nothing," who is continually grumbling about this being a "hard old world." Get it into your head that you are merely a part of this great big piece of world machinery; and that each person you meet is as much a part of it as you are. Turn yourself aloose to learn something from every one with whom you come in contact. Try the plan of "tickling the world," and you will experience better results in all your affairs.—Southern Life Magazine. If we were called upon to name the two worst enemies of the negro in America we would not hesitate to answer, "whisky and pistols." The bane of the race is the reckless, irresponsible young negro who fears neither God nor man, and whose degradation can be traced directly to the two evils, whisky drinking and pistol "toting." When an ignorant youth fills up on mean whisky and has a gun in his hip pocket he at once becomes a menace to the public peace. While others than negroes are equally as guilty of the evils mentioned, we are concerned just now in helping to lift our own burden. —Star of Zion. Wealth and education must be broadened in the negro's affairs. These are the principles of race building, which will create harmony between the two races. Youths, what are you living this life for? Have you planned anything for your future, or are you traveling the ordinary rut of life, looking for nothing but existence alone, without any of its worthy or attainable ambitions? You should consider these questions and awake from that sleepyness and reach out for higher ideals. The avenues of education are open to you. Much of the employment is given you, and vast opportunities await you who make the best of it. Stay out of the north and remain in the southland, where myriads of chances await you who will prepare yourselves. The southern negro is branching out into every available business. He is becoming wealthy and is preparing the way for our young men, if they will prepare themselves for the positions. Morality and Christianity must be practiced extensively among the young men. They must organize Bible classes, libraries, debating societies, gymnasiums, etc., which tend to develop the individual morally, mentally and physically and lead him to follow a quiet, beneficial and intelligent life. There must be some training along these lines to the extent that it may become hereditary in generations to come. When we follow these principles, we are following good factors of benefit to the race in every respect. We will diminish the number of our boys in the chain gang, put a ban on excessive immorality and renovate into intelligent action, uncultured minds. There are many young men who, by misfortune, are thrown into poor circumstances, and have not the chance to acquire an education. This is a pititable case and should be remedied, and the only remedy to his condition is compact association which brings about sympathy and aid for him and awaken the spirit and manhood in him to acquire some knowledge of a course of learning. Take heed, help your fellow man, and build stronger men intellectually, physically and morally.—Palestine Plaindealer. "The Chronicle is glad to welcome Booker T. Washington to Houston, and feels that he will be extended a courteous and befitting greeting by men of all races. "He has, by his own unaided efforts, risen from a position of poverty and humility to one of commanding influence. He has wrought a great work for the people of his race, and has, by both precept and example, sought to lead them into the paths of nobler and more useful living. "He has recognized that to train the young negro properly he must train not only his head and his memory, but his hands and his heart. There are many worthy people of the negro race in Houston, and they will give the great representative of their race a welcome befitting his worth. "Mayor Rice, by participating in the ceremonies of the evening in his capacity of chief executive of the city, does a graceful and commendable act. It will show to those who seem so greatly to misunderstand the feeling of the southern people towards the negro that under all proper circumstances and to the limits which social propriety permits the southern man is always ready to help the negro and to encourage him in his efforts to rise in the world."—Editorial, Houston (Tex.) Chronicle. Out at Boley, the all-negro Oklahoma town, an old-time barbecue was given a few weeks ago in order to promote good feeling and good will generally. Indians from the surrounding country were invited, and came in large numbers. After dinner had been served the speaking began on the part of Indian and negro orators. One Indian seemed to voice the sentiment of his people towards ne- One Indian seemed to voice the sentiment of his people towards negroes in a speech which follows: "Indian always friend to black man. Red man and black man get well together. Red man he owns much land. Colored man he make big field make much cotton, much corn. Red man gets his share without law suit, no trouble with black man. He good to work to pay lease. Red man has plenty to land, he want colored man to work his land. Indian man he wants to sell land. White man he wants to buy Indians' land. Make big bargain, take land way from Red man. Indian wants colored man to work his land and make big field for squaw and papoose. "Rich man he get behind Red man and the Red man he make way for him; Red man he lead black man he follow, and Red man take him through all right." Bishop George blackwell, one of Zion's ablest bishops, is very pronounced against a growing evil in the ministry amongst us, that of spurious titles from spurious and fake schools. He rather decries the prevailing practice and thinks the time has come to denounce the schools and the men. To which we add our most emphatic Amen! Away with fakers in every profession amongst us!—Mobile Press.

He died in Monterey, Mexico, December 1, 1846, after participating in the operations on Monterey, where he led his regiment from Ohio, which was the first to plant the Stars and Stripes in capturing Monterey. This country village of about one thousand people is remarkable for the great men it has given the state and nation. Of soldiers alone it furnished the Union army four generals, including U. S. Grant, West Point graduates, and nine generals and field officers of volunteers, among whom were General A. V. Kautz and General McGrorierty, and most of these men were citizens of Georgetown when the war broke out. From Brown county I went to Adams county, and in the backwoods of that county—much of it away from all railroads—there lived among other notables the ancestors of Whitelaw Reid, Sinnot, the father of Mrs. Charles P. Taft of Cincinnati, while the spot where the late John A. Cockerill, the great journalist, was born is pointed out to the passerby. In my travels about, speaking here and there, everywhere in the small towns I find, born, reared and often still living the nation's foremost men. I turn to any encyclopedia of American biography and find that the mighty men who have made and lifted the nation to greatness were country boys. Of twenty-seven presidents of the United States, all, with the exception of Roosevelt and Taft, were from the country. Call the roll of the 481 senators and congressmen, and with possibly one or two exceptions, all who are ever heard of were not only born in the country but began life in their shirt sleeves. Go into any city or town throughout the land and practically all the men who have done things worth while began life without a dollar. These men made their own chances. They never despaired, never whimpered, but they were up and doing. A "happy hit" may sometimes be made by a bold venture, but in the long run the safest road is the highway of steady industry. God gives you enough when he gives you opportunity. A wise man will make more opportunities than he finds. Possess your soul in patience. Your time will come if you deserve it. Don't say you have been unfortunate when you were just foolish. Bad luck is bad pluck. Good pluck is good luck. No man ever lost his luck until he lost his pluck. Perhaps one reason why American born girls prefer to work in factories at starvation wages rather than work in kitchens and be comfortable is that while in school they studied the same declaration of independence as their brothers did. Whether that old document tells the truth or not, it has made of our boys and girls something that does not willingly have inferiority rubbed into them. One never stops to wonder that our young men will dig ditches rather than become valets or butlers or footmen, even though they might have more comfort- able homes and better wages in the latter positions.

Musical standards in this country have been greatly raised during the past few years. I have been reading with interest discussions about the educational requirements of those who study music seriously. I still consider myself a young man, but I have observed educational conditions in Europe and America long enough to have some definite ideas regarding cultural progress on this side of the Atlantic. The old world, of course, has had the advantage of centuries of art development. In this country, comparatively new, little attention seems to have been paid to art until about 35 or 40 years ago. In music there has been in the past 10 or 15 years. I can remember when any a little or sing a little was called a musician. Now it is as much of a musician unless he or she has a good or has studied the theory of music and has a solid life well. I speak especially of recent musical standards in ton, Philadelphia, Chicago and other great cities. It will not be many years before every music teacher will be thoroughly equipped from a pedagogic point of sist on the pupils studying with a purpose of enla horizon.

In music there has been rapid progress in the past 10 or 15 years. I can remember when anyone who could play a little or sing a little was called a musician. Now no one is recognized as much of a musician unless he or she has a good deal of gray matter, has studied the theory of music and has a solid literary education as well. I speak especially of recent musical standards in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago and other great cities. It will not be many years before every music teacher in the country will be thoroughly equipped from a pedagogic point of view, and will insist on the pupils studying with a purpose of enlarging their mental horizon.

FRIENDS ALL WANT IT. Mrs. D. B. Simmons of Silex, Ark., writes: "I tried one bottle of Ford's Hair Pomade and found it to be the best preparation I have ever used. It stopped my hair from falling out and breaking off and my hair is now as soft as it can be and is longer than it has been for a long time. My friends all want it. Ford's Hair Pomade, the old, reliable dressing for stubborn, curly hair makes harsh hair more pliable, glossy and easy to comb. Try it and Ford's Royal White Skin Lotion, for the complexion. For sale by druggists, accept no other, see that it is Ford's and manufactured by the Ozonized Ox Marrow Company, Chicago, Ill. Great Chance for This Judge's Wife. A New York court has established a ruling that no woman's dress caries a money value after it has been worn ten times. The decision was made in a fire insurance suit whereby the plaintiff sought to recover the full value of clothing destroyed. In admitting that the clothing had been worn more than ten times the plaintiff lost her case, for the court gave her but a trifling sum. Whew! What an opportunity for that judge's wife! She might hang a tally sheet by her wardrobe door with the record of every wearing of every garment. "Ten times and out" might become her slogan. If she chose, she could have a new dress or two or three new dresses every ten days—according to the number of times she wishes to change her clothes in a day's time. Perhaps at the end of a month the judge might come to the conclusion that after all a dress has some money value after it has been worn ten times. Lacustrine Traffic. "Haven't you any lake commerce here at all?" inquired the stranger. "You bet we have!" the native answered him; "on fine days the lagoons in Washington, Jackson and Garfield parks are fairly swarming with boats." Involving Some Digging. "Uncle Henry, why don't you pull up and move away from this dead little town?" "My boy, don't you know that the older a tree grows the deeper its roots strike into the soil?" A Consistent Change. "My dentist has given up his profession and gone into the real estate business." "I see. Still trying to make money out of his patrons' acres." Different Stages. "Did they buoy that disabled vessel up?" "Yes, first they buoyed her and then they manned her." The Result "Why, in the case of a new play, do they call it trying it on the dog?" "Because so often it raises a howl" Musical Auto. One of the latest fads of the motorist is the musical automobile. Attached to the side of the car is a sort of pipe organ calliope arrangement. The wind pressure to operate the pipes is supplied with power from the engine. There are ten pipes, giving the "player" a range of an octave with two "half notes" included. The stops are operated from the rear seat of the car, by means of wires running to a miniature keyboard attached to the back of the front seat. The instrument can be used for the double purpose of amusement and as a warning to pedestrians. House of Commons Ghost. An interesting house of commons ghost is the "radiant boy." This child ghost has been many times seen and heard. Its complexion is of the colorless purity of Chinese white, a halo of silver sparkles about its head during its peregrinations and its eyes gleam in their sockets like bright electric tamps. It is evidently in agony, for the palms of its hands are stiff and turned downward, and as it paces from room to room it gives utterance to moans of anguish and never lifts its gaze from the floor. So far as can be ascertained this particular ghost has no prespectral history and why it should have chosen the house for its haunt is a mystery—London Mail. Might Spoil the Match. Sultor—I would like to see the photo of the lady with the $500,000 dowry. Matrimonial Agent—We don't show photos with the large dowries.—Fliegende Blaetter. Consolation. "Sir, your dog bit me!"

DOINGS AND HAPPENINGS THAT MARK THE PROGRESS OF THE AGE. Western Newspaper Union News Service, WESTERN. San Diego in 1915, has begun, Col, Oscar B, Learned, pioneer, and one of the founders of the Republican party in Kansas, died at Lawrence, aged seventy-nine. For the first time in the history of Milwaukee county, Wis., a woman has been sentenced to life tmprisonment for the gurder of her husband. Father Murphy, who for years en: gaged in a contest with Bishop Bona- cum for the possession of the Catholic parish at Seward, Neb., was killed in an automobile accident. | All records for youthful marriages in South Dakota were broken when Coun. ty Judge Russell at Deadwood united Albert Holley, a miner, and Ada Cons- don, aged thirteen, of Lead. Several persons were injured and residents of Niles, Calif., thrown into a panic when a herd of, 300. steers. frightened by a switch ehgine, stam. peded through the business district.

In the presence of his father and brother, William Glissin of Antelope, Ore., aged forty-five a sheepherder, stabbed and killed his aged mother, who had remonstrated with him for intemperance. ‘The possibility of a corner in the cranberry market that bids fair to eliminate cranberry sauce as a feature of ‘Thanskgiving day has been estab- lished in Chicago. Cranberries have reached $10.50 a barrel, an increase of nearly $5 from last year. Arthur Metts and his brother-Indaw, Albert Caswell, both of Ocosta, Wash., fought a good old-fashioned duel with revolvers. ‘The duel was prearranged and took place early in the morning Betts was wounded, but not serine in the arm, When Caswell drew blood, the duel was ended. Negotiations which have been pend- ing for some time are practically closed in Council Blufts,for the sate of the Atlantic, North & South railroad, known as the “Farmers line,” to a syndicate headed by Leslie M.

He will fly to the coast, land- Ing at the edge of the Pacific ocean. His official record for the trip is 4,231 miles in 4,924 minutes. Farmers of the South must withhold from the market every remaining bale of the season’s crop of cotton and fol- low this with a concerted and binding agreement to reduce next season's acreage at least twenty-five per cent if they hope to restore the staple to a normal price and relieve the losses sustained by present low prices. ‘This is the plan decided upon at the con- ference of Southern governors at their concluding session in New Orleaus. ‘The thirty-third degree was con- ferred upon five Masons at the Mason- ic temple in Denyer. This is the larg est number of men who haye taken this degree at one time in the history of the order in Colorado. The men who became thirty-third degree Ma- sons were Richard W. Corwin of Pu- eblo, George W. Vallery of Denver, James R. Killian of Denver, Darius A Barton of Denver and H. Bruce Teller of Denver.

Stephens, Democratic candt- date for Congress in the Third dis- trict. On the face of the complete returns from the 1,070 election districts of Massachusetts the Democrats won the state election and kept Massachusetts in the party column by coMtinuing Governor Eugene N. Foss in office for a second term. Kentucky went back into the Dem ocratic ranks in a landslide. Incom- plete returns indicate that James B.

Hill, the rail- road king, after a visit to the Cham- ber of Commerce booth at the New York Land Show. “The exhibit for the state here shows remarkable prog- ress,” he said, “and what is more, the variety of products displayed is an eye-opener to visitors here.” Ageregate bank exchanges during the month of October in the United States, according to the statement compiled by R. G. Dun & Co. which includes returns from 112 lead- ing centers, amount to $13,421,637,507, a decrease of 2.1 per cent, as com- pared with the same month last year, and of 15.0 per cent compared with the corresponding month of 1909. Nearly a third of a billion dollars was added to the wealth of the United States from the mineral production of the Western states during 1910, ac- cording to the figures of the United States Geological Survey. This in- eludes about $66,000,000 worth of coal, the remaining production, principally metals having a value of practically a quarter of a billion dollars, Mary Whedon Gates, thirty-three, of New ‘York, who was divorced from Chas. . Gates, son of the late John W. Gates, last August, was granted a li. cence to marry Romeo Migiletta, thir- ty-two, of Florence, Italy, Willis L. Moore, chief of the Weath- er Bureau at Washington, thinks an aviator might cross the Atlantic ocean ‘the could take his airship up six niles and remain at that level at least wo days, At that height there is said to be a placid ether level free rom the conflicting storms and cur rents which swirl below. « Railroad Men and Waiters SS Cla b= We lead, others follow.

Morgan county has also considered the propo- sition and it is possible that the coun- ties will co-operate in obtaining the site. , May Invoke initiative. Denver—In order to secure the adoption of a good roads measure to replace House bill No. 200, in the event the Supreme Court upholds the ruling of District Judge Carlton M. Bliss, who held the law to be uncon- stitutional because the official journal of the Senate contains no record of an aye and nay vote on the final passage of the measure, the initiative may be invoked. Unless the Supreme Court reverses the lower court cr unless Goyernor Shafroth calls an extra ses- sion of the Legislature, the State Highway Commission will initiate a new measure. While no plans for this action will be made until after the hearing in the Supreme Court, the members of the commission feel that this Is the only course left for them in the event Judge Bliss’ ruling is sustained. At- torney Booth Malone, who represent: ed the petitioners in the request for a mandamus compelling State Audi- tor Leddy to issue warrants on the state road fund, {s preparing a bill of exceptions, and will present the matter to the Supreme Court as soon as possible, The matter is of. such Importance to the various counties in the state that the court will be asked to grant an early hearing. ‘The State Highway Commission will hold a conference soon for a discus- sion of its plans. The commission is receiving inquiries daily from the va- rious counties, asking what assistance the state will be able to give in the construction of roads and when funds will be available. Counties in all parts of the state are suffering severely as a result of Judge Bliss’ decision, which ties up the $300,000 now in the road fund, and effectually binds the hands of the commission, Archuleta and La Plata counties are especially hard hit by the decision, as they sustained immense damage by reason of the recent floods, Twenty-three bridges were | washed out In Archuleta county. Bids were advertised for, and are to be opened at Pagosa Springs, when the Board of County Commissioners meet. La Plata county suffered the loss of seventeen bridges, which cost over $80,000, and eleven of which were on state highways. Boulder county, which has been op- erating the big Buffalo Pitts road mo. chine on the state highway from Den- ver to Fort Coilins, had to suspend work because of the lack of funds. ‘The state still owes $7,000 on this out: fit of machinery and has no prospect of being able to pay until the appro priation becomes available. Work has also been suspended on the state highway between Gunnison and Montrose. ‘The contracts in the Arkansas val ley are hung up as a result of the court decision and the residents of Aspen and Pitkin county have sent « petition to the Highway Commission that work be pushed on the road from ‘Twin lakes over Independence pass to Aspen and Glenwood Springs. The Highway Commission declares that the situation will be critical, if the Supreme Court sustains Judge Bliss. 2029 CHAMPA STREET ~ PHONE MAIN 5964 W. O. SIMONDS .0O Eureka COAL 4.

Their neatness and the sense of security enjoyed in the wearing recommend them to the out-ofdoor girl. ‘The waist line remains slichuly raised, with a narrow belt of the ma- terial of the dress securing the skirt to the blouse. A long, straight tunic reaching al- moxt to the bottom of the skirt is a fashionable development of both the one-piece dress and the sult skirt. One of the most popular cuts of the autumn is the slashed skirt, already firmly es- tablished in Paris. Most of the models show the slash extending only slight- ly above the threeinch hem. Ii a lo. ar slash is used It extends to the knee in Directoire fashion and is filled in with a pleated drop of silk in a contrasting shade. ‘The fashionable autumn sleeve ends half way between the wrist and the elbow, It has a six-inch glaring cuff, slightly stiffened, and 1s enbanced by an undersleeve of all-over lace or net Onished with a frill of lace. ‘The Directoire period 1s still no- ticeable in wide revers, cut away ef- fects In tailored coats and straight narrow silhouettes, and though rumor declares for fuller skirts, smaller waist Ines and puffs at the elbows, fashion will not carry out the predic- tion for some time to come because of the universally becoming effect of present kiaken: J a & A = NOVEMBER GARMENT: STORE SALE of 925-16'" ST.-—+ OPP.

A novelty in the way of jewelry that }-s found its place among the smart things for winter's wear is a black }velvet band studded with beautiful ‘traceries of diamonds or intricate patterns of precious stones. This ts foun, to be far more becoming than the ordiaary necklace or La Valliere and is an appropriate touch to the high waist and soft lines of the pres- ent mode. For some time it has been the vogue to wear the clumsy mecal or ungainly leather wrist band in which watches are inserted. Much daintier and far more beautiful are the tiny watches, gold-faced and bejeweled, which are! either round or square and which are fastened upon narrow velvet bands and worn on the wrist. “C. O.
