LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY FRANCE IN AFRICA American Negroes are much Interested in the Land of of their Ancestros where it is predicted th at they will Sooner or Later return and live under a Republic Governed by their own PeopIe VOL. XVIII. FRANCE American Negroes are much of their Ancestros where it will Sooner or Later re Republic Governed There are ten millions of people in the United States who are sentimentally, at least, interested in the present and future of the continent of Africa and its unnumbered hordes of people. They are so interested because, in one way or another, they are decended from that continent and from that people. The true vine however far it may trail over the wall, must hark back to its true root, and will do so if it be not grafted upon some other root and finally become lost as to its origin. As long as it retains any of its kindship, any of its true root, the true vine will find its way back, and will know its kindred vines as it goes. It is that way with the blood of the races. In his address on "The Nationalization of Africa," at "The Congress on Africa," in 1895, at Atlanta, our Mr. Fortune said, among other things: "If the conquest of Africa shall proceed in the next seventy-five years as it has in the past twenty-five, the whole continent will be as completely under European control, after the lapse of a century, physically and morally, as it is possible for conquerers to impose their conditions upon the conquered. The vast population of Africa will be brought under Christian influences, in new forms of government and habits of thought, and of conduct. The whole life of the people will be revolutionized. Ancient beliefs and superstitions and tribal relations and dissimilarity of vernaculars will, in the course of time, be transformed entirely. The demoralizing heterogenousness which now prevails over the whole continent will give place to a prevailing homogenity in language, in religion, and in government." This forecast was made sixteen years ago. The time has traveled fast, but nowhere has it traveled faster than on the continent of Africa. All of its vast territory has been divided among the European powers, with the exception of Liberia on the West Coast, for control of which Germany, France and Great Britain, whose territories hem it in, are scheming. Railroads and telegraphs pierce the continent in all directions, and the deserts are being reclaimed from waste and made to blossom "as gardens of the Lord." While France owns 45 per cent. of Africa the remaining 55 per cent. is divided between Great Britian, Germany, Italy and Belgium, the Portuguese holdings being negligible. Native rights, personal and material, are but little regarded by any of the Powers except France, the general policy being to keep the natives down, without any participation in the government, and to get all out of them that it is possible to get. As between the tyranny and rapacity of Great Britian, Germany and Italy, there is little to chose, the tyranny and rapacity of Belgium in the Congo having been such as to shock Christian Europe and America and to compel reforms that have in some measure mitigated the horrors practiced upon the natives. The pacific policy of France in Africa, and the tremendous development it has made and is making of the resources of its African empire, are graphically set forth in The Outlook (October 28), by E. Alexander Powell, F. R. G. S. The story is most fascinating, in which is told how France came to control 45 per cent. of the territory and 24 per cent. of the population of Africa. France has conquered the people by kindness; by giving them a part of her civil and military service; by just administration of the laws, and by building churches, schools, railroads and telegraphs. The people feel that they are part of French development, and they are. The threat of France to enlist a million natives in her army is not an idle one, as the natives are with France, there being now 75,000 of them enlisted, and "nothing pleases the African as an occupation more than soldering," says Mr. Powell. A black French army could be advanced to the banks of the Rhine in ten days. France is doing great things in Africa.—N. Y. Age. Albany, Dec. 5.—Gov. Dix Monday honored the requisition of the New Jersey authorities and Henry A. Ulrich must go to Orange, N. J., to face his wife's charge of desertion.

State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House RONIZE MERC ADO E JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO "NOT AN INFERIOR RACE ARE COLORED AMERICANS. A contribution to the discussion of the Negro problem in the United States, of quite extraordinary interest, is made by Prof. Franz Boas, the eminent American anthropologist, in "The Mind of Primitive Man." Not so much on humantarian as on ethnical and scientific grounds he defends the Negro race, whose present social economic status is sufficiently explained by the forcible removal from African soil, the consequence complete loss of the old standards of life, the demoralization of slavery and the following period of disorganization and severe economic struggle against heavy odds Prof. Boas holds that there is no proof of the theory of the Negro's hereditary inferiority. Give the colored man, says the anthropologist in effect, opportunity and he will fulfil the duties of citizenship as well as his white neighbor. Although he may not produce as many great men as his white race, and although the level of his average achievement may not quite reach that of the whites, there will be "endless numbers who will outrun their white competitors and who will do better than the defectives whom we permit to drag down and to retard the healthy children of our public schools." Whether the persistence of the pure Negro type is practically impossible, as Prof. Boas believes, or whether the efforts in many Southern states to prevent all racial intermixture will result in making the black race blacker and the white race whiter, matters little. The main thing is, that even handed justice should be done to both races.—Boston Globe. New York.—At the general conference of the A. M. E. church which meets at Kansas City next May several general officers of the church are to be elected. Besides the three new bishops to be elected, next in importance comes the office of the editor of the A. M. E. church Review, which is one of most responsible and influential positions in connection with the church. Among the candidates for this coveted office is the Rev. Dr. R. C. Ransom, pastor of the Bethel A. M. E. church in New York, who is one of the ablest pulpit orators and race champions in the denomination. Easiest Way.

PUEBLO COLORADO NEWS Fifth Anniversary of the Old Folks and Orphan's Home. The fifth Anniversary of the Old Folks and Orphan's Home of Pueblo was celebrated Saturday and Sunday Dec. 9 and 10. The meeting was well attended, and was addressed Saturday by several of Pueblo's energetic and public spirited white gentlemen, and two ladies from the Woman's club, who pledged their interest and hearty support. Those from out of the city who made addresses were: Mrs. J. P. Watson and Mrs. Butler of Colorado Springs and Rev. J. C. C. Owens of Denver, the first president of the Home. On saturday evening the services were conducted by Rev. J. B Holmes, who after an appropriate prayer delivered an encouraging address. The Home was started five years ago, with nothing on hand and nothing in sight, but necessity forced the opening of the Home, and Mrs. Hargroves volunteered to make the sacrifice and started the Old Folks and Orphan's with a few homeless children. Through such public spirited men as Mr. McCleland who gave two lots and ex-Gov. Alva Adams who gave 20 lots the Home has received ground for a building, which the Executive Board hopes soon to erect. Mrs. Hargroves related a remarkable story that at one time the provision in the Home got down to seven potatoes, three of which was not fit for use. Confronted with this condition of things, Mrs. Hargroves declares she went to prayer, and while on her knees the phone rang and she was notified by Mr. Nicard, the agent of the Santa Ee office, that some one had sent 40 bushels of potatoes from a ranch, this she declares came in answer to prayer. Since the organization of the Home 156 persons have been received and sheltered, twenty-one of these were old people. Permanent homes have been found for 37 children during the five years. There are at present in the Home 15 children and 3 old people. There is room for 15 or 16 more children. Mrs. Hargroves and the board of directors thank the Woman's Club and general public throughout the state for the excellent aid they have rendered. The colored population of Galveston, Texas, is nearly 9,000 in about one fifth ratio of the whole. The races here are quite friendly. Many whites patronize business enterprises owney and managed by colored men, and otherwise give proof of their friendliness in responding to the aid and advancement of their colored fellow-citizens. From Little Rock, Ark., comes the information that the Kempner Theatre, one of the most beautiful playhouses in Arkansas, and the leading theatre of Little Rock has discharged all the white help and employed colored stage hands with Paul Chaney as stage manager. Mr. Chaney has an energetic crew of colored assistants, and the new force is making good in every respect. The number of Negroes in the so-called Southern States are as follows: Delaware, 31,181; Maryland, 2,308,669; District of Columbia, 94,446; Virginia, 671,096; West Virginia, 64,173; North Carolina, 697,843; Georgia, 1,176,987; Florida, 308,669; Kentucky, 261,656; Tennessee, 473,088; Alabama, 908,275; Mississippi, 1,009,487; Arkansas, 442,891; Louisiana, 713,874; Oklahoma, 127,612; Texas, 690,020. Philadelphia, Dec. 11.—Detectives who have been investigating the mysterious death yerterday of Mary F. Harmon and the poisoning of a Negro woman who posed as her maid but is believed to be her mother, declared tonight that the girl's father was John Moon, formerly known as the policy king of Baltimore. Moon died about 12 years ago, leaving considerable property to his daughter and her mother, who came here about five years ago. Deposit books from several banks show that at one time they had thousands of dollars but only a few dollars are left. At first it was believed Mrs. Harmon and her daughter were the victims asphyxiation but this theory has been dispelled. The elder woman who was still alive when the apartment they occupied was entered, is being closely watched in the hope that she will be able to make a statement that will clear up the mystery. According to the police the woman maintained a relationship of mistress and maid, because of the ambition of the mother to contract an advantageous marriage of her daughter. Vicksburg, Miss., Dec. 5.—Forty-five Negroes, 35 of them women were injured, 10 so badly that they may die, when the floor of King David Church collapsed while a funeral service was in progress. The Rev. Mr. Williams, who was conducting the service, jumped out of a window and escaped injury. The 600 persons in the building were unable to escape on NO 14 account of the crowded condition of the church and went down with the floor, falling 20 feet to the ground. Heavy timbers, two hot stoves and the pine flooring fell upon a struggling mass of humanity, and this, in addition to the weight of the persons on top of those caught underneath, inflicted serious injuries on the first ones that fell when the center of the floor gave way. The funeral of Edward West was being held and the coffin containing the body fell among the family of the deceased and friends who had gathered about it. The members of the family of the deceased sustained slight injuries. FIGHT FOR EQUAL ACCOMMODATIONS. Baltimore, Md., Dec. 9. — A hearing of the complaint of Attorney W. Ashbie Hawkins against the discriminations the Negro has to suffer on boats plying the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries, was held before the Public Service Commission Monday. Mr. Hawkins testified that the Baltimore, Chesapeake and Atlantic Railway, against whose boats the protest was made, only provided two staterooms out of thirty or more for the use of first class colored passengers, and that these two were badly ventilated, and that occupants thereof suffered much inconvenience because of the fact that they were located on either side of the card room and toilet for white men where all kinds of noises prevailed during the night. He also said that the boat company made the colored passengers wait until after the white passengers had been served with meals and that the boat company offered them these meals for ten cents less because of the long wait. His tesitmony was coroborated by George A Watty, Grand Chancellor of the Maryland Knight's of Pythias and a frequent user of the various lines of the company, and Mrs. D. Grant Scott of this city. The Commission held its decision in abeyance until after it had made a personal inspection of the company's methods of handling its colored passengers. At the beginning of the hearing Attorney Ralph Robinson, who represented the boat company, contended the Public Service Commission had no jurisciiction, and that the matter should come before the Criminal Court under the separate car law.

More than seven hundred western wool men attended the three-days convention of the National Wool Growers' Association in Omaha. Finding of twelve loaded revolvers and four sticks of dynamite in the federal penitentiary yard at Leavenworth, probably prevented wholesale outbreak. Firing originating in the shoe shops of the Huntsville branch of the Texas penitentiary destroyed prison property valued at $200,000 before it was checked by dynamiting several buildings. Arizona voted for an entire set of state officers, two United States senators and one representative in Congress, but the only result certain now is that the recall has been eliminated from the constitution. The McNamara brothers have entered San Quentin, Calif., penitentiary, where James B. is condemned to spend the remainder of his life for murder, and John J. is sentenced for fifteen years for dynamiting. Neighbors found the body of Mrs. Gray, seventy years old, in the ruins of her house near Waldron, Mo., nine miles southeast of Leavenworth, Kan., after fire had destroyed the building. Gray thinks a burglar murdered her and then set fire to the building. Burt H. Franklin, an investigator employed by the defense in the murder trial of James B. McNamara, just ended, at Los Angeles, was held to the Superior Court by Justice Young to answer to charges of bribing a juror and attempting to influence the verdict of a jury. Albert Leon, Rudolph Swanson and Fred Marneek, who have manufactured thousands of dollars in counterfeit notes, pleaded guilty in the United States Court in Chicago. Leon and Marneek were sentenced to ten years each and Swanson to five years in prison. An explosion of gas, followed by fire destroyed the Wichita Pipe Line Company's pump station, located one miles south of Caney, Kan, the station supplies gas from the Oklahoma fields to Wichita, Hutchinson and many western Kansas towns. The loss is estimated at $300,000. A message from General B. J. Viljoen, Mexican peace commissioner to the Yaqui Indians, received at El Paso from Guaymas, conveys the information that the Yaquis have declined to abide by the terms of the peace agreement signed with President Madero. The Yaquis not only repudiated the former agreement, but formulated a demand for the entire Yaqui valley, much of which is now occupied by American settlers. FOREIGN. Five persons were killed and eight injured in a collision on the Northern railroad outside the Paris terminus. There is great indignation at Rome over the fresh revelations of atrocities committed by the Arabs and Turks on Italians at Tripoli. The Constantinople papers announce that the Turkish government has decided to expel most of the Italians from the Gallipolip peninsula, the territory around the Dardanelles and Smyrna. The expulsion will become operative in all fortified places. SPORT The Russian minister of the interior introduced in the Duma a bill to authorize a credit of $59,000,000 for famine relief. "Young" Abe Attel, the Denver ban tamweight, who decisively defeated Beny Chavez of Trinidad recently, is anxious to secure a bout with Harry Riede, and the Aspen whirlwind has stated that he is willing to meet Attel at any time or place, provided that suitable inducements are offered. With the single exception of Riede, the Trinidad man was considered the ban tamweight champion of the Rocky Mountain region, although several attempts to match him with the Aspen Whirlwind proved futile, as he refused to meet Harry under any consideration. Attel also stated that he would give Chavez a return match immediately after his contest with Riede. Abe Attel, champion featheweight, and Johnny Kilbane of Cleveland, have been matched to fight twenty rounds in Los Angeles. Alec Monro, wrestling champion of Great Britain, has arrived in Kansas City ready to begin training for his match with Frank Gotch. "Jimmy" Clabby of Milwaukee, middleweight boxing champion of Australia, met Dave Smith, formerly middleweight champion of Australia at the Stadium in a twenty-round contest which ended in a draw. WASHINGTON. Senator Guggenheim has been requested by the Grand Junction, Colo., Chamber of Commerce to secure an appropriation of $100,000 for the proposed public building for that city in addition to the $100,000 heretofore provided. The Sherwood service pension bill, which would add upwards of $40,000,000 to the government annual expenditures by granting increased pensions to Civil and Mexican War veterans on the basis of length of service, was passed by the House despite the determined opposition of many. Rear Admiral Richard Wainwright, aide for operations in the Navy Department, who was executive officer of the battleship Maine when it was blown up in Havana harbor and who later wore fame in the Spanish-American war, will soon retire from active service on account of age. Elbert H. Gary, chief executive of the United States Steel corporation, stated again before the Senate committee on Interstate Commerce, his belief that the United States government must assume control of big corporations, to protect the public and at the same time to insure the advantage of corporation economies and development. James Bodkin of Mead, Colo., was a witness before the special committee of the House which is investigating the sugar industry. Bodkin conveyed the impression in his testimony that the Colorado Agricultural College was disposed to favor the sugar trust as against the raisers of sugar beets. He said it was significant that the farmers were unable to get from the college the results of polariscope tests of beets, while the Great Western Sugar Company had no difficulty in securing the results of tests made in the laboratory of the institution. In the second one-topic message he has sent to Congress during the few days of the present session, President Taft reviewed the relations of the United States with foreign governments during the last year. In this message the President gave the first official explanation of the post-haste movement of 20,000 federal troops to Mexico nine months ago; urged the United States Senate to ratify the general arbitration treaties with Great Britain and France and the conventions with Nicaragua, and Honduras, and suggested legislation that, he declared, would strengthen this nation's trade and position among the other powers. GENERAL Colder weather through the country has been forecasted by the Weather Bureau in its recent bulletin. Regular use of aeroplanes in transporting mail is suggested by Postmaster General Hitchcock in his annual report. The Board of Aldermen of New York adopted resolutions soliciting the Democratic national convention for that city. Two young officers from the President's yacht Mayflower, have been ordered to Berlin to study German shipbuilding methods. Wire and nail product prices have been advanced $1 a ton by the American Steel and Wire Company, a subsidiary of the Steel Corporation. It is reported that Miss Katherine Force, elder daughter of William H. Force, and sister of Mrs. John Jacob Astor, is to be married soon after January 10, in New York, to Henry Harnickall, a young broker. Miss Katherine, whose beauty is of the same classic type as her sister's, has not followed Mrs. Astor's example in the choice of a husband. With little trace of friction, the Republican national committee met with open doors in Washington and formulated preliminary plans for the campaign of 1912. The program agreed upon was carried out expeditiously in two short sessions. Chicago was chosen as the national convention city and the call was issued for the assembling of delegates on Tuesday, June 18th. The vote on convention city resulted. Chicago, 42; Jersey, 7; St. Louis, 1. Charges that vote buying and selling is done in the "open market" in Fayette county, Pennsylvania; that notorious trafficking there rivals the sensational disclosures made in Adams county, Ohio; and that the United States Steel Corporation, through its subsidiary companies, is a party to the bribery and intimidation of voters were made in Washington by Jesse H. Wise of Waynesburg, Pa., a defeated candidate for Congress, before the House Committee on Elections. A mis-trial of the second hearing of Dr. B. Clarke Hyde, charged with killing Col. Thomas H. Swope, appears probable. Made desperate by the sight of two of his children, from whom he had been separated for six weeks, in the courtroom, Harry Waldron, one or the jurors, escaped from the jurors' hotel quarters. While Frank Jasper, a deputy county marshal, who was on guard, slept, Waldron pried open a nailed transom, tiptoed to a fire escape and leaped fifteen feet to freedom. Demurrer to the government's suit to dissolve the sugar trust was overruled and the defendants ordered to answer the complaint by the full United States Circuit Court, consisting of Judges Lacombe, Gove, Noyes and Ward. Miss Nora Haley, private secretary and confidante of John J. McNamara for more than two years, is in Chicago, under surveillance of officials of the Department of Justice, and will go to Indianapolis to testify before the federal grand jury 59 MEN ARE KNOWN DEAD FORTY-NINE BODIES HAVE BEEN TAKEN OUT, AND TEN LOCATED. 30 REMAIN IN MINE OFFICIALS ANNOUNCED THERE WERE 85 MEN IN MINE WHEN EXPLOSION OCCURRED. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Briceville, Tenn. — Fifty-nine are known to be dead, victims of the Cross Mountain mine explosion. Forty-nine bodies have been taken out of the mine and ten other dead bodies located. Two of the number found had been dead less than twenty-four hours. One of these was John Duff, one of two men who strayed from the gang rescued alive before. The other was Sam Miller, a veteran, who knew the mine better than any miner in this region. Duff apparently had been dead less than twelve hours. The entry in which he was found had not been worked for some time, and for that reason it had not been explored previously. If the figures of the company are correct, less than thirty men are still unaccounted for. Rapid progress was made by the explorers after the fire in left entry 17 had been extinguished. No trace of any living men has been found. The report spread through the village that three more survivors had been found. Practically the whole population flocked to the mine for news only to be disappointed in finding that the report was untrue. Progress in the search was obstructed by a smouldering fire requiring the efforts of half of the government helmet crew to extinguish it. The owners officially announced that there were eighty-five men in the mine when the explosion occurred. Friends and relatives of miners unaccounted for are manifesting great impatience because the rescuers are not making more headway. There are are about twenty miles of mineway to explore and less than twenty-five helmet-men who can penetrate to all corners. Canary birds are being used with great success to detect the presence of poisonous gases. Miners without helmets are not permitted to enter chambers in which the birds cannot live. Arizona Goes Democratic. Phoenix, Ariz.—The Democrats of Arizona will place two members in the United States Senate, one member in the House of Representatives and a governor in the state capitol; and, unless present indications are materially changed, will make a clean sweep with their ticket as a result of the first state election. The Legislature, from present indications, will be more than three-fourths Democratic, insuring the election of Henry F. Ashhurst of Prescott and Mark A. Smitn of Tucson to the United States Senate. Carl Hayden of Phoenix was elected to Congress. George W. Hunt was elected governor. There is but one chance that the full Democratic ticket is not elected, it is claimed. For secretary of state, Cleaveland, Republican, is running strong and may defeat Osborne of Phoenix. Chairman Birdno of the Democratic state committee issued a statement claiming the election of the Democratic candidates by majorities ranging from 1,500 to 2,000. He also claimed that every county in the state except two would return Democratic majorities. Apache and Pima are conceded to the Republicans by small majorities. Vote to End Russian Treaty Washington.—The Sulzer joint resolution for the termination of the treaty of 1832 between the United States and Russia, because of the latter's discrimination against Jewish-American citizens, passed the House by 300 to 1. The negative vote cast by Representative Malby of New York. A practically identical resolution by Senator Culberson of Texas is pending in the Senate and favorable action of both Houses will be necessary to make either resolution effective. Both the Sulzer and Culberson resolutions direct the President to give Russia the year's notice necessary for the abrogation of the treaty that has been in force nearly eighty years. Bank and Postoffice Robbed. Bloomington, Ill.—The bank and postoffice at Fancy Prairie, forty miles southwest of here, were blown by four bandits. Other Arrests Expected. Junction City.—Army officers at Fort Riley declared that the federal authorities had under observation several persons implicated in the recent dynamite explosions at Fort Riley and that additional arrests might be expected any moment. Minister Arrested. Oklahoma City. — Rev. Brewer charged with implication in a series of recent dynamite explosions at Fort Rilley, Kan., has been arrested. THE BROADHURST CARTER SHOE CO.

UNION LABOR'S DESPAIR. of the McNamara brothers that they charged against them in California on labor unions the country over the high officers in the Structural Country over had enlisted in the to be absolutely founded on fact on labor now claims that it was leaders were in no wise aware of its true or not, it will be doubted on labor surely did not know the actual criminals.

Warfare, and they are usually in its struggle against or lays it ever liable to the suspicionality. Higher principle and greater formation of all labor elements, so far description, and the wise direction of panels, are absolute requirements. Anything less than this leads THE confessions of the McNamara brothers that they were guilty of the dynamiting outrages charged against them in California are bound to have a demoralizing effect upon labor unions the country over. demand. The brothers were high officers in the Structural Iron Workers' Union, and union labor the country over had enlisted in their defense. The case against them proved to be absolutely founded on facts, and they confessed to escape death. Union labor now claims that it was imposed upon and deceived, and that its leaders were in no wise aware of the guilt of the criminals. Whether that is true or not, it will be doubted for a long time. The rank and file of union labor surely did not know that those whom they sought to aid were actual criminals. But what they do know is that labor unions are prone to advocate and adopt desperate means to carry out their supposed legitimate aims. Probably all labor unions advocate strikes, with their vicious attending attitudes against non-union labor, and strikes are not listed under the heading of diplomatic maneuvers. They constitute a real phase of industrial warfare, and they are usually of the guerrilla brand. Union labor's desperation in its struggle against organized capital is its greatest weakness and lays it ever liable to the suspicion and the charge of apathy or other criminality. The remedy is higher principle and greater breadth of precept and thought. The organization of all labor elements, so far as possible, without class limitation or proscription, and the wise direction of their forces through honest and legal channels, are absolute requirements for union labor's perpetuation and success. Anything less than this leads to anarchy and self-destruction. "WHAT I HAVE NOT DONE." FT, in an "authorized interview December, reviews and defends its administration, and therein, for which, for a long time, have puz inted Southern Democrats to nurse, instead of Republicans, is pa helped and advanced the Negroy forcing them upon "unwilling im which he believes commenda nber that I was elected by Dem any as McKinley did in 1896. same within 150 votes of carryin PRESIDENT TAFT, in an "authorized interview," appearing in The Outlook magazine for December, reviews and defends some of the principal political policies of his administration, and therein, for the first time publicly explains some things which, for a long time, have puzzled many of his most faithful supporters. That he has appointed Southern Democrats to numerous high offices, including a cabinet office, instead of Republicans, is particularly gratifying to him, and that he has helped and advanced the Negro by removing that frick-South," is another claim which he believes commendable. The interview, in part, follows: "You must remember that I was elected by Democratic votes, probably polling almost as many as McKinley did in 1896. Let's see: I carried Greater New York; came within 150 votes of carrying Boston; carried Missouri, including a 15,000 plurality in St. Louis, and carried one elector in Maryland, three congressional districts in North Carolina, and more than a third of the counties of Georgia. Of this last feat I am especially proud, because my highest political ambition has been, and still is, to take the sting out of the relations between North and South. I have no Quixotic idea of being able to break up the Solid South myself, but I am trying to lay in that section a strong foundation on which our party can build, so that another decade may perhaps witness a change. In appointing Dickinson, the finest type of Southern Democrat, I aimed to honor the South, but I suspect that some of his party friends made him feel uneasy in what they affected to regard as a false position politically. However, my selection of Lurton and Lamar for the Supreme Bench and my promotion of White to the chief justiceship I rejoiced to make because I was giving great strength to the court that under a Republican administration its eminent men were not denied a part in the highest offices and functions of government. "What I have done in this line has been without the sacrifice of any interest of my own party. I have appointed many Negroes to office, and have given some of them, like Lewis, Napier, Johnson and McKinlay, offices of essential dignity at Washington. What I have not done is to force them upon unwilling communities in the South itself. I have appointed none where I knew that race feeling was strong, and I have preferred giving large offices to well-equipped Negroes of the higher class to scattering a lot of petty ones among the mass of their race. This is not because I lack sympathy with the Negroes, but because I want to see them advance. The worst thing I could have done for them was to keep alive any ill feeling their white neighbors cherished toward them; but it stiffens their self-respect and spurs them to more thorough preparation for public service if they see political honors going to their worthiest leaders." Conciliation! Everlasting conciliation is the rock on which weak Republican presidents strike and founder. "To take the sting out of the relations between North and South" is a fine ideal, but Democrats do not support Republican candidates for the presidency with any such object in view, and neither do Republicans. What is more, the Democratic President who sweeps into office on the strength of these conciliatory advances, never meets them half way in the policies which he adopts. Likewise the surrendering of the Negro into the hands of the lily-white party managers (for that is just what it amounts to) does not advance the Negro nor lessen race feeling one iota. These things are not political lilies and they have no political cure. The height of political wisdom is the square deal and party loyalty. It is the privilege of the voter to change his political fealty as he may think fit and profitable, but if the elected officer does not stand squarely upon the political convictions and relation which give him the election, he puts himself above his party and betrays those upon whom he was primarily dependent.

Old Biffleigh, after thinking ruefully of the gas and coal that were being consumed downstairs, was just dropping off to sleep when he was roused by a noise from below. "Eva!" he bellowed, making his way to the top of the stairs. "Eva! What on earth's that howling down there?" "Howling, pa!" came the answer, in shocked tones. "Why, it's Mr. Chuffer singing 'Love Me and the World Is Mine.'" "Then for goodness' sake love him," growled Biffleigh, "and perhaps the silly young ass will be going to look after his property." SOME HINTS ON SWEEPING Broom in the Hands of the Inexperienced Often Does More Harm Than Good. It is not an easy matter to sweep well, at any rate, if one judges by experience, for when a broom is put into the hands of the inexperienced more harm than good generally results from the use of it. Light sweeping and soft brooms are desirable. Many a carpet is prematurely worn out by careless sweeping In sweeping thick plied carpets always brush the way of the pile. By doing so it may be kept clean for years; but if the broom is used in a different way the dust will enter the carpet and soon destroy it. If the carpet covers the whole floor of the room and it is nailed down, place the chairs and other articles of furniture which can be easily moved in the middle of the room, pin up the curtains and cover the couch with an old sheet. Pieces of damp paper may be sprinkled round the sides of the room, and then sweep with a carpet broom toward one place. Take short strokes, being careful not to raise the broom much. Sweep the corners and edges with a small whiskbroom. Put two tablespoonfuls of ammonia into one gallon of water; wring a cloth out of this and wipe the carpet. This will remove the dust and help to brighten the carpet. PLAIN WASHING SODA'S USES Chemical Is Great Saver of Work and Almost Indispensable to the Housekeeper. Uses for common washing soda: One heaping tables poonful of soda to a pint of water (boiling) will clean the ugliest burned pan by letting it soak a few hours. In boiling clothes a few tablespoonfuls of soda in the water will eradicate stains from clothes and lend a snowy whiteness. I have used it on the finest quality of white goods with entire satisfaction. It will not injure the material. To clean a coffee or tea pot made of granite or lined with porcelain, fill up the utensil with cold water, set on stove to boil, and add a lump of soda as large as a hazelnut to the water. It cleanses perfectly. In fact, sweetness is insured after its usage in every instance. To clean silver: Put a level tablespoonful in dishpan, add a quart of cold water, put on fire to boil (put silver in pan in the cold water), and wipe immediately after the water bolls up. Result: Perfectly shined silver ware without any trouble. These are hints I learned for myself on the usages of soda. Lemon Jelly. An excellent rule for lemon jelly, which is nice either as a dessert by itself or as a foundation for an elaborate sweet, calls for two cupfuls of boiling water, two small lemons, half a big cupful of sugar and two large tablespoonfuls of gelatine, or as much as will stiffen the mixture when it becomes cold. Soak the gelatine in barely enough cold water to cover it, and when it becomes soft melt it completely by setting the cup it is in boiling hot water. Then stir it immediately into the lemon juice, water and sugar, which should be heating on the stove. Let the jelly harden on ice or snow after pouring it into a mold. Mince Meat. Four pounds of beef, one pound suet, half pound citron, one pound raisins, one pound currants, half pint sugar, half pint vinegar, half pint of New Orleans molasses! one small glass of orandy, a glass either of currant or oganberry jelly, one nutmeg, one table-spoon cloves, cinnamon and allspice. Boil the beef, pepper and salt to taste. Cut off all the fat and gristle. Add one and three-quarters more of apples than meat. Chop apples fine. If not sweet enough add more sugar. Boil two hours on back of stove. This will keep several weeks. Seal as you would fruit. Honey Candy. Put half a pound of honey into a saucepan, add half a pound of sugar, one tablespoonful of cream and a dessertspoonful of cold water, then mix and stir well. Allow to stand for one hour. Put over a moderate fire, stirring gently until it is stiff enough to pull. Pour into buttered tins. When cool enough to handle pull and cut into small pieces. Queen Charlotte Pudding. One pint of bread crumbs, one quart of milk, one cup of sugar, yolks of four eggs, butter size of a walnut. Bake half an hour. Take out of the oven and cover with currant jelly. Beat whites of the four eggs, one cup of sugar, juice of one lemon, spread over the jelly and brown in the oven. Lemon Meringue Pie. Grated rind and juice of large lemon, one cup sugar, two egg yolks, one tablespoon cornstarch, butter size of walnut. Add enough cold water to fill pie tin. Cook until thickened. Bake crust first, put in filling, spread over top beaten whites of eggs with one tablespoon of sugar. Brown in oven. Some housekeepers believe that eggs will beat more quickly if a pinch of salt is added to them. Christmas Hints from the Daniels & Fisher Stores Knitted neckties for men.

JAMES MARTIN Mrs. Lucy Ellen Martin, the beloved wife of James Martin, died last Friday, December 8, 1911, at her residence, 2420 Emerson street, after a long illness. Mrs. Martin had been a patient sufferer with a complication of diseases for a number of years, but with that Christian fortitude for which she was noted she bore up bravely to the last. Her devoted husband did all that he could for the benefit of her health, had employed the most skilled of physicians, sent her away to see if a change of climate would not prove beneficial and prolong her life, but to no avail Mrs. Martin had scores of friends, both in Denver and Sedalia, Mo., the place of her nativity. She was of a sunny disposition, tenderhearted, charitable, an exemplary Christian, a loving wife, devoted daughter and sister. Mrs. Martin had been an ac- tive member of Zion Baptist Church for 29 years, from which place the funeral was held Tuesday, December 12th, Rev. D. E. Over officiating. The beautiful casket was banked with flowers and gifts of loving friends. The cergemonies were touching in the extreme, the pastor dwelt at length on the many loving and Christian qualities of the deceased, which brought forth much weeping from the large audience. Mrs. Martin is survived by her husband, Mr. James Martin, her mother, Mrs. Powell, who resides in Sedalia, Mo., and a sister, Miss Mary Powell of this city. The bereaved ones have the sympathy of the Colorado Statesman and a host of friends. The Douglass Undertaking Company had charge of the body. Interment was at beautiful Fairmount cemetery. "May she rest in Peace." NOTICE. I have sold all my rights, title and interest in The Mutual Laundry Company to J. J. Houston.

Williams of Atlanta, Ga., who accepted the call, and will be here to take his charge the second Lord's Day in January, 1912. Under his leadership much may be expected.

NES, LIQUORS AND CIGARS CATERERS AND CONFECTIONERS SUCCESSFUL EXHIBITION HELD AT MACON, GA., BY PROGRESSIVE COLORED CITIZENS. Macon, Ga.—The fifth annual Georgia state negro fair, which in many respects is the greatest organization of its kind in the country among colored people, closed a successful exhibition here. The fair had been in progress ten days and had been witnessed by a large crowd of people from all sections of the state. In every respect the fair is declared to have been a record breaker. On opening bad weather was encountered, but even the most disagreeable weather did not prevent the people from Georgia from showing their appreciation for the remarkable work done by the management in making this mammoth fair possible. The exhibits can be said to be greater and larger than any former collection of negro exhibits, whether at state fairs or at world expositions, and the presence of the mammoth United States government exhibit lent color and dignity to the occasion. The success of the Georgia state negro fair in its five years' history will ever stand to the credit of President R. R. Wright, who more than any other one factor, is responsible for its high character. Although disappointed in several ways by men who had promised to be present and who had been advertised as features of the fair, none of these things served to 'discourage attendance at the fair. President Wright left no stone unturned to carry out his word. When C. Wesley Peters, the negro aviator, held out for cash advances approximating more than $3,000 above his contract; when the colored balloonist, F. H. Bradford, utterly failed to put in appearance without any explanation; and when a white aviator, Dr. Henry E. Walden, from New York, who put in appearance and received a cash advance of $250, refused to carry out his contract and left town, President Wright kept the wires busy until he located another man, by the name of Peters, in Atlanta, who came to Macon and made three pretty successful flights before big crowds. Opening day was stormy and wet, and yet the people of the state went manfully on with their parade. The address by the registrar of the treasury, J. C. Napier, was well received and appreciated, as were later addresses by W. T. Vernon, supervisor of schools under the department of the interior; Dr. J. D. Hammond, president Palne college, Augusta, Ga.; Dr. John E. White, pastor of the First Baptist church (white), Atlanta; Dr. P. James Bryant, pastor Wheat Street Baptist church, Atlanta, and Hon. George Hillyer, member Georgia railroad commission, Atlanta, Ga. Of particular interest was educational day, when addresses were made by Dr. J. H. Dillard of New Orleans, secretary of the Jeans and Slater funds, and Dr. J. W. E. Bowen of Gammon theological seminary; and "ex-slaves day," when all the old ex-slaves of Georgia who could come had gathered to enjoy a huge barbecue dinner and to listen to an address by a well-known friend, Judge Hillyer. A peculiar kind of sentiment was attached to this day. Like the army veterans, these old heroes were found to be fast dying out. Their lines were getting thinner, their steps less elastic and buoyant. It was perhaps this feeling, more than anything else, that prompted President Wright in his introductory address on "Ex-Slave Day," to give vent to eloquent and forceful remarks with reference to the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the emancipation of the negro. He had just read a telegram of regrets from Mr. Roosevelt, who had referred to ex-slave day as a unique celebration. "Mr. Roosevelt is right," he exclaimed. "Ours is indeed a unique celebration. In fact, the situation in the south is unique; and the southern people, white and black, will, working together, be able to handle it. We mean to show to the country what during the past fifty years the black people and white people are getting together in the development of the resources of the southland. "I want a semi-centennial celebration that will show to the country the progress the black people have made since freedom. I want this celebration in the south, where the black man has made his progress." I believe the white people all over the south will aid us, just as the white people of Georgia have helped us to make the Georgia state fair a success. I believe there is no place in the world where the negro will receive greater consideration than he will receive right here in his own home, among the people with whom he has lived and wrought during these more than 300 years." Judge Hillyer of Atlanta was the principal speaker at the celebration in honor of the "ex-slaves." This was, perhaps, the most noteworthy occasion of the fair. About 200 ex-slaves attended the fair on Friday, were given free admission to the grounds, the liberty of all the attractions and exhibits, and were treated to a barbecue after the speaking. Judge Hillyer, who spoke to them, was himself thirty years old at the close of the war and in his own way gave some remarkable experiences and impressions he had gained from slavery. He denounced the tardiness, injustice and prejudice in the courts and prayed for the time to come when the law would be administered imparally so that no guilty man would escape, and no innocent man would be punished, no matter what he Several of the older ex-slaves present gave some experiences of their own during slavery and recited, in their peculiar manner, the progress the negro had made in their immediate localities. Several good horse races were run; several automobile races, and a football game between Paine college of Augusta and Morris Brown college of Atlanta furnished the larger part of the amusement, while the people were not slow by any means in taking in all the attractions on the Midway. An unusually fine line of exhibits were seen in the Woman's building, the Agricultural building, the Government building and the building for schools and colleges. The Central of Georgia railroad offered a cash prize of $100 to the boy or man who produced the largest yield of corn per acre in territory traversed by the Central of Georgia railroad, and a year's expenses at the Georgia State Industrial college to the boy making the largest yield. The special prize for the cooking contest attracted a great deal of attention. Sixteen women cooks entered this contest. From two to four dinners each day were prepared by the contestants, the judges being three prominent white women of the city of Macon. The cooks were judged on cleanliness, economy and taste. In agriculture, in domestic arts, in the Hall of Fame, having pictures, books and relics of negroes of prominence in this and other countries, in education, and in live stock, the exhibits were all of the high water mark. For the first time samples of money, real money, bearing the signature of four negro registrars of the treasury, were gathered together, together with the pictures of each. No liquors were sold at any place on the grounds, and all the sporting events were conducted with becoming ease and decorum. The educational congress, the woman's congress and the religious congress proved each to be an interesting feature. While it is a difficult thing to make an affair of this sort become a paying institution, some attention might be called to the large number of people employed by the fair management during the ten days of the fair. Besides the two bands, there were on the payrolls of the fair association more than ninety people, all of whom were given better salaries and wages than they received at their regular employment. The attendance was very good and showed marked appreciation of the effort on the part of the colored people of Georgia. SUNDAY SCHOOL CONGRESS Nashville, Tenn.—At a regular meeting of the Boards which have direct charge of the Sunday school and young people's work of the National Baptist convention, held in this city, it was decided that the seventh annual session of the Sunday School congress should meet at Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, thereby accepting from a vast number of invitations offered by some of the leading convention cities of the United States the one extended by Dr. Booker T. Washington, principal of Tuskegee Normal and Industrial institute. At this meeting, which was held in the office of the secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board and which was presided over Rev. J. P. Robinson, D. D., of Little Rock, Arkansas, full expressions were made concerning the great success that has crowned every meeting of this congress movement. Among the places that have entertained the Sunday School congress during the past six years have been New Orleans, Nashville, twice, Jacksonville, Florida, Atlanta, Georgia, and Meridan, Mississippi, but indications are that the Tuskegee entertainment will be more elaborate and that the meeting will be more largely attended than heretofore. The time of the meeting has been fixed by the Boards as the first week in June. The meeting is to open on the first Wednesday in June, remaining in session for six days, which will include Monday of the following week. Letters and communications were presented at the Board's meeting, showing the deep interest manifested throughout every section of the country in the Congress Movement. The secretary of the Sunday School congress, Henry A. Boyd, presented a report, showing that nine hundred eighty-one schools were represented at the Meridian meeting. Some of these schools were very small, but the interest was as great with them as it was with the larger schools. Tuskegee institute will be a bee hive of congress workers, as they will go to Tuskegee from every portion of the United States. ELECT ALLEN PRESIDENT. Hannibal, Mo.—At the meeting of the Negro State Teachers' association, held in this city, President B. F. Allen of Lincoln institute, located in Jefferson City, was unanimously elected president of the association, succeeding Prof. J. Silas Harris. The members have promised to give the new president loyal support in his efforts to conduct a successful administration. TOO NEIGHBORLY "The Finchbys are altogether too neighborly." "Eh!

Denver, Colo AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS The Hague peace tribunal had about as much effect in restraining war between Italy and Turkey as the breathing of a gnaat would have in preventing a cyclone. In order to understand clearly the causes leading up to this war, it is only necessary to recall to mind that fact: In their dealings with one another and especially with an inferior people, the Christian powers of the world are actuated by the same motives that illustrated the career of Rob Roy: "Let him take who has the power and let him hold who can." The golden rule is serviceable as lip exercise, but the ruling sleepless principle is that of Rob Roy. The Christion powers of Europe have been making the Turk stand and deliver for the past forty years. One would take this country, another this province, etc., and they would long ago have blotted Turkey from the map could they have come to any binding agreement as to the division of the spoils. Now during all the time this territorial robbery has been going on, Italy, the "little sister," has been looking on with eager desire but without sufficient backing to get in the game. About a generation ago she grew impatient and told some of the larger brothers she just must have a slice of foreign territory for herself. They couldn't spare her any of Turkey, but they directed her attention to a little mountainous country in Africa—Abyssinia—inhabited by heralic negroes. And go take it! Italy sent a magnificent army of invasion down on those black folks. All the world knows the result—or rather all the world hasn't been able to suppress or explain away the result. That magnificent army was hacked to pieces and their bones still mark the path of their disastrous retreat in their futile efforts to get back home! Adowa was more disastrous than Waterloo. The efforts made to explain it are laughable. The Italian historians claim that the general was a coward, was drunk or worse. And the ethnologists, while confident before that the Abyssinians were nothing more than black negroes, have bravely come to the rescue with learned dissertations to the effect that those Abyssinians are after all black white folks! Such learned antics are sufficient to arouse a sneer on the face of a Mephistopheles. Well, after Adowa, Italy had enough of foreign conquest to hold her for a while. But a few months ago Italy found all the powers prayerfully concocting plans for counteracting one another in their schemes of conquest. Turkey felt secure by reason of this situation. Italy saw and seized the opportunity to strike. Before the Turk or the European powers knew what was happening, Italy was on the sea. She is now in Africa. The question in the minds of many students is this: If militant Mohammedanism becomes thoroughly aroused will Italy be able to "come back?"—Dallas Express. France now has an army of black soldiers numbering 50,000. The knowledge of this black war cloud proved an important factor in averting war between France and Germany a few months ago. France expects to continue the policy of enlisting negro soldiers for her defense, and is of the opinion that when officered by Frenchmen, they form the finest troops in the world. Colonel Manglin of the French army and who has been an ardent supporter of this movement was recently asked whether he would use black troops against white men in a European war. "Of course, we should," he answered, "and we should not be the first nation to do so. Do not forget that it was with the help of their black troops that the Mussulmans conquered North Africa, and that it was with their help that they conquered Spain. Remember, too, that William Prince of Orange had black troops with him when he landed in England, and that Maurice de Saxe had black troops at Fontenoy—Infantry and cavalry both. A battalion of black men went through Napoleon's Russian campaign under Murat, and France kept Guadeloupe, thanks to her black troops, who fought very well against the English Rome, when her own resources began to fail, dominated the world for several centuries owing to her black troops." The church needs today to use the power which God has given. Often we pray for power when the power is already available, and we are found in the attitude not using that which God has placed in our hands. The Master said. "All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth." He is the head of the church and he has promised his power for the accomplishment of the work which the church ought to do. Are we not sometimes in the position of praying for power when we should be praying for a willingness to appropriate the power that Christ has already given us?—Christian Observer. A clean, reliable and high-toned Afro-American newspaper in the home is worth more than a shotgun, yet the latter is a valuable aid, if used when marauders assault your home. Do not ask the Lord's help until you have done your God-given duty—protected your family—Cadiz Informer The parents of our children should look carefully after their rearing, as it does not take much nowadays to lead children astray, for entitlement confronts them on every side. We will recall a scene which pictured to us a deplorable sight in the ruining of the young. During a night some time ago, at a very late hour, we chanced to pass a dancing parlor. The inmates were few; but the touching character of the crowd was a small girl of about twelve or thirteen years of age, gliding over the floor with a "grown-up." This poor little child should have been at home with her mother instead of mingling with the adults at a dance. Mothers, your daughters have plenty of time to make their debut in society. Don't rush them into a stage of society in an attitude of life very much different from that of your little twelve or thirteen-year-old girl. Let her association be with those of her equal. Teach her the ways of the world and guard her against the over-average association. What does a girl of the above ages look like having any kind of society on her brains? She should delve in school books at night instead, and attend those gatherings that are of interest to the general public and the race. Let us implore to keep your little girls away from the dancing parlor until they are old enough to realize right from wrong in a more vivid way, then they may choose the mode most enjoyable through association.—Palestine Plaindealer. Publicity of accounts is the cry of today. There was a time when public officials were not called to account as now. Forty years ago but few would dare to ask a treasurer to make a detailed accounting of public funds. But so many officials have become corrupt, have misused money, have lived in luxury, out of the poor people's money that everywhere they are asking for an accounting. In this state this is truer today than ever, and same sad, sad revelations have been made. Millions of dollars were stolen in the building of our state capitol, resulting in the sentences of several prominent men. An accounting sent several Pittsburg councilmen to prison, and an accounting now going on of affairs in this city seems to show that upward of seven million dollars have been misapplied. People are therefore demanding that thorough accountings be made. They ask not only what have been the gross receipts, but the itemized receipts. They ask not only what have been the gross expenditures, but the itemized expenditures, and only by getting each item can they tell whether their servant is dealing fair with them. It is gratifying to see how many published reports are itemized. This is not only a protection to the treasurer, but relieves the suspicions of the people. If Philadelphia had published all the details of expenditure, there would not be the present threatened disgrace on account of misuse of the people's money.—Christian Recorder. It seems that many of our farmers have just realized in the past three years, the real value of their lands, and are now putting every available acre under cultivation. Several years ago many of our farmers farmed for a living, but now they are farming for a living and wealth. In the next ten years the value of farm land will reach twice its present value, and some cannot be bought. Farming is the chief industry and every farmer should buy a farm while opportunities are good. —Palestine Plaindealer. An observant citizen has counted 329 business places on Seventh street, between Florida avenue and K street. Of this number 17 are conducted by colored people. And Seventh street is the leading business thoroughfare upon which colored people trade. Our people are sleeping upon their commercial opportunities.—Washington National Union. At no time in the history of the world have two distinct races lived together in peace and harmony. In spite of this fact, suppose white and black make up their minds to show this old world something it has never before seen? We have begun already to do our part in making such an undertaking a success. Have you?—Southern Life Magazine. Men are by nature fitted for society. By this we mean that they are naturally disposed to associate with each other. They could not be happy without such association. Hence we conclude that the Creator has designed men for society.—Southern Progress. Winter will soon set in. It will grow inconvenient for you who work out doors. We hope you have managed wisely and saved some of the summer money, for the rainy days will surely come. Wake up and arouse from sleeping on your rights. There are many ways in which you could help your people. Look ahead of your nose and see some things that are badly needed.
