E to Provide better SPECIAL TO COLORADO STATESMAN. To the Colored People of the South: This is a season of the year when for several years it has been my privilege to call the attention of our people to the importance of improving the facilities for public school education. I mean the education of the masses of children in the small public schools. As I have said before, I think a very small percentage of the children of our race can be sent to any large boarding school. The masses must be educated at home in the small public schools if they are to get any education at all. As I have observed in studying conditions in most parts of the South, I find that the people on the whole deserve the greatest degree of credit for their efforts to educate their children. In many cases they pay tax themselves, aside from what they pay in the way of public taxes, in order to build school houses and extend school terms. This is all commendable. We want however, to be sure that we go forward every year. If we do not go forward in providing better school facilities, we will go backward, because the number of children to be educated is increasing each year. My special object in calling attention to this matter is to impress the ministers, business men, teachers and other leaders with the importance of having a good, comfortable, well furnished schoolhouse in every community. You will not accomplish much in the way of education, no matter how good a teacher may be secured, without a good comfortable schoolhouse. In many cases, especially in the Gulf States, the schoolhouses provided for the education of the Negro children are disgraceful. In some cases they are not fit for animals to stay in. It is a cruel imposition upon teachers and pupils to compel them to sit in a cold, uncomfortable schoolhouse day by day. In such cases it is impossible for the children to learn anything. The thing that I urge upon each community is that they unite their efforts this fall and winter in providing a good, comfortable schoolhouse. If every person will con- --- tribute a small amount in the way of money or labor or some kind of farm produce, within a few months a good, comfortable school house can be built and furnished in every community in which our people live. Good schoolhouses will mean in the future good teachers and a school term lasting eight or nine months in the year. If those who read this communication have not already a good schoolhouse in their community, I earnestly be seech them to begin at once to build one. One other thing: often a large amount of the money put into a school building is almost thrown away because no plan has been provided for the supervision of the work of erecting it. No matter how inexpensive the schoolhouse may be, care should be taken to get an architect or some other competent person to draw plans for the building. Wherever it is possible, of course, the public school authorities should be asked to provide public school facilities—should be asked to provide a decent schoolhouse. Where it is not possible to obtain a suitable building from the authorities, the people should get together themselves and erect a schoolhouse that meets the needs of pupils and teachers. In many of the cities and small towns in the South, thousands of children are suffering for education because there are not enough schoolhouses in the South to properly seat and provide for the Negro children. Wherever this is true, our leaders should come together and formulate their needs and bring them before the public school authorities. They should continue to urge their needs until schoolhouses are provided for our people. I have noted that in some of the cities nearly one-half of the colored children are kept out of school or are in school only half a day because of lack of room. Our race, like other races, can only secure proper educational facilities in the cities by constantly urging their needs on the proper authorities. This should be done in every community and city where the public school authorities have undertaken the task of providing school buildings. I am glad to add that in many of DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 23 1911. State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House MERRY CHRIST ADC THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO the communities and cities of the South, creditable schoolhouses are provided in an increasing degree for the education of the Negro child. But we not only want to see that no backward step is taken, but that we go forward both in the country and city year by year in providing decent, comfortable school buildings. In connection with what I have said in this letter, we as a race must bear in mind that one-half of the colored children in the South do not attend any school at all Unless these conditions are speedily changed, our race in this and succeeding generations will be greatly handicapped by ignorance.

NEWS FROM OKLAHOMA McALESTER, OK., DEC., 14, '11. ED. COLORADO STATESMAN, DENVER, COLO. MY DEAR JOE:--This comes to say that I am well and hope you are the same. It having been so long since I have seen or heard from you, I thought I would write you from Oklahoma, the great Southwest, the fast growing commonwealth where the possibilities of the Negro are the greatest from many angles. Here we have many thousands of acres of furtil land, dotted with large and beautiful farm houses. We count our money by the thousands. Our schools and churches are very good, taking in consideration the opportunity of the. Our former ministry and teachers have been displaced by as peerless and representative a set of men as can be found in any community. Here we have a splendid corterie of lawyers and business men. Our women compare favorable with women every where. Our homes are presided over by some of the best wives and mothers that can be found. Now a word from our own home place, the seat of the State Penitentiary. Here we have a nice little city of 25,000 persons, about 12,000 Negroes, many of them owning their homes. The business our people are engaged in consists of grocery stores, restaurants, barbershops, confectionaries and dry good stores, 2nd hand stores, contractors and builders and various other pursuits. The citizenry is a peaceful and quiet one, each faction seems to regard the others rights. We have 4 methodist and 2 baptist churches all carrying good congregations. I am favored with the largest and most representative congregation in the city, with 157 communicants. Madam E. A. Hackley sang at our church, Nov. 24th to a large audience, and so well were they pleased, that they refused to take money back when offered them, and desire a return date with this distinguished lady.

C., Dec.—At a recent meeting of the North Carolina Board of Pharmacy a larger per cent. of Negroes passed than ever before. For the last four years there has not been a Negro to pass at the capital city, Raleigh. Out of thirteen colored applicants five passed, and out of forty-six whites ten passed. J. Milton Turner, a St. Louis Negro, who served eight years as United States minister to Liberia, is entitled to the credit for investigating the litigation by which two thousand Negroes, former slaves of the Cherokee Indians, will be made wealthy. The decision was handed down by the United States Court of Claims in a suit that has been pending for more than twenty years. Boston, Mass., Dec. 13.—The Colored Chauffeurs, Operators and Owners' Club was formed Monday evening, December 11, at 446 Tremont street. The charter was presented by William Foster. Speeches were made by invited guests and refreshments were served. An excellent program was presented by profession vaudeville artists. About two hundred men were present, including a large number of white guests. The club is on friendly terms with similar organizations among the white chauffeurs, and will maintain a place for meeting, supply employers with chauffeurs, and promote the general welfare of the members.

God has been kind to us to spare such a worthy man and artist, and we pray that Samuel Lucas will be spared to radiate in the Steliar-glare for many seasons to come. Mt. Holly, N. J., Dec. 13.—One of the surprises of Justice Voorhees' session of Court today was the selection of a colored man, Robert Street, of Mt. Holly, to serve on a jury drawn to try Mary Coleman, a Moorestown colored woman, charged with infanticide. When Street was called everybody thought that he would be excused because of his race, but the defendant's counsel had no objection, of NO 15 course, and Prosecutor Atkinson accepted him as the twelfth man, satisfied that he was not opposed to capital punishment and would render a verdict in accordance with the evidence. Street, who is the caterer at most of the leading social functions in this section, and is highly respected, was astounded, as he, too, believed he would be rejected. Chicago, Dec. 10 The suppression of hold-ups must be vigorously prosecuted on the South Side. Respectable colored people have been recently held up by white crooks who prowl around in pairs. The most pitiful thing of all is that when they discover that a person has no money or valuables they proceed to beat them unmercifully for spite or prejudice and to avoid detection. These men, who are either professional crooks, bums or hungry gamblers, should be speedily apprehended by the colored detectives of the South Side in the manner in which white detectives hound the sometimes innocent and harmless Negro who happens to be seen in other parts of the city. It is high time that Chicago should rid itself of all grades of hold-up men so dangerous to innocent society and human life, and every honest detective should brand all such men, whether friend or foe, to eventually land them unconditionally. Illinois Idea. Greensboro, N. C., Dec. 12. During the month of November warrants were issued from the police department for seven more white people than Negroes, this result being an unusual one, and being regarded with interest by those connected with the police department.

Six of the warrants for white people have not yet been served, but of those served 65 have been convicted in the Municipal Court, the remaining number either being found guilty or the cases against not prossed. Three of the warrants for Negroes have not yet been served. Forty-nine Negroes have been convicted, leaving a remainder not prossed or found not guilty. Five of the warrants against Negro women were not prossed or the defendant found not guilty. Three of the Negroes have not yet been tried.

CHRISTMAS of the Colorado State had all the joy and bless Christmas a joy and pleasure supermost in our thought. Just thing to do is to get rid it out of doors and let get rid of vanity and owe you are not as happily doe does it make; resolve other or a grumbler. Get you can make anybody else give something to help It is not the marketable items. Human has not met all our s and profits, our ups and happy just the same. Happy to see another readers. Happy to live in our readers, one and all, a merry Christmas. Men. Get the Christmas action. It is that big, The Christmas spirit is and natured, high toned in others in a common fancy size for others who are u- mas. Pass it along until action of Christmas. Before another copy of the Colorado Statesman reaches its many readers they will have had all the joy and blessings of the Christmas tide. How to make Christmas a joy and pleasure not only to ourselves but to all ought to be uppermost in our thoughts. Selfishness will rule out joy, therefore the first thing to do is to get rid of selfishness—throw it out of your mind, kick it out of doors and let it have no place in your consideration. Second, get rid of vanity and covetousness. This will mar your pleasure. If you are not as happily circumstanced as somebody else, what difference does it make; resolve at least that you won't be a complainer, a knocker or a grumbler. Get happy yourself. You must be cheery before you can make anybody else comfortable. Third, resolve to do something, give something to help somebody else; if it is not much, do it anyhow. It is not the marketable value, but the purpose and spirit that counts. The Colorado Statesman has not met all of its ideals during the year; we have had our loss and profits, our ups and downs, our successes and failures, but we are happy just the same. Happy to have lived through another year. Happy to see another Christmas. Happy to dispense our cheer to others. Happy to live in the day of great things, and now we extend to our readers, one and all, new and old, saint and sinner, young and aged, a merry Christmas. Let there be peace on earth and good will to all men. Get the Christmas smile, the Christmas feel and the Christmas action. It is that big, broad, fine, deep, true and expansive feeling. The Christmas spirit is not a myth or illusion, it is just a generous, good natured, high toned interest and respect for our fellow beings as brothers in a common family. Sons of Mother Nature make it, sympathize for others who are up against it. Again we wish you a merry Christmas. Pass it along until everybody in Denver gets the fever, smile and action of Christmas. PAY AS YOU GO. he banner to fly at the write. It would mean us. The church, the such a motto strictly co men in Denver who it s. Churches have to hers won't pay their o This ought to be the banner to fly at the head of the banner of every loyal Negro Denverite. It would mean much to every institution and business among us. The church, the lodges and newspapers alike would profit by such a motto strictly conformed to. We have known colored business men in Denver who failed because Negroes would not pay their debts. Churches have to beg and solicit funds on the streets because members won't pay their obligations, lodges carry long lists of delinquents and have to finally expel members because they won't pay their dues. Newspapers have to live at a poor "dying rate" because their subscribers won't pay their subscriptions. "Pay your debts" ought to be blazoned on the door posts of every house in Denver, on your watch fob and calling cards. The Negro is growing careless about this thing. He is losing friends because people are losing confidence in him financially. Neither his note or bond is worth much nowadays. The Colorado Statesman is not saying this for itself alone. While we need the money and would be glad to collect all that is owing to us (drop us a card when to call), but we want to sound a toesin and warn the race. We can't afford to wear fine clothes and shine in society and be known as "dead beats." The doctor, the groceryman, the landlords, the newspaper collectors, the lodge treasurers and church officers, besides the whole business world have their eyes upon us; we cannot afford to be derelict; to be rated as N. G., to be put down as C. O. D. The race is making a sad mistake. The Colorado Statesman asks you to "cut out" dodging and come up with the "straight thing." Be a man, pay your debts, look the world in the face. We know it may cut you short some time, but it is better to be short than not to be honest; better not to be liberal than a dead beat. It would mean much more for every organization in Denver if the people of this city would pay their bills. Restaurants and rooming housekeepers and every other business would flourish, the Colorado Statesman would be happy and you would have one of those "won't come off smiles" if you would pay your bills. It would add years to your life and peace to your sleep. Try it for a month or two and see if your scribe is not right and you will never go back to the "call again game" any more. 99 MIKE--ROBES They're Contagious!

Mr. Theodore Marshall of Pueblo is in the city for an indefinite stay. Mrs. Minnie Caves, the well known modiste, has been on the sick list for several days. Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Gentry returned home last Monday from a delightful Southern and Eastern trip. Mrs. Williams of Columbia, Mo., is visiting her daughter, Mrs. Richard D. Porter. Her stay will be indefinite. Mrs. Ellis of Detroit, Mich., who has been the guest of Dr. Justina Ford several days, left for California Tuesday. Mrs. E.

All merchants who advertise in this paper will keep their stores open Friday and Saturday evenings of this week. Mrs. J. M.

Mrs. Louis Boone was called home from Laramie, Wyo., last week to be at the bedside of her daughter, Mrs. Martha Hill, who is very ill. Miss Lizzie Cowan has gone to Hot Springs, Ark., to try the baths of that famous resort for the benefit of her rheumatism. Gus Travers of the C. & S. dining car service, has resumed his run between Denver and "Little Lunnon." He is much pleased with the change. Mrs. John Easley of 4114 Adams street, who has been in Kansas City several months in the interest of her health, returned home last Saturday, not feeling very well. Mr. Henry Howard and family wish to express their heartfelt thanks to their friends for the kind expressions of sympathy and tributes of love in their sad bereavement. John R. Jackson of the Paris Cleaning Works is building an addition at his place on W. 11th avenue. Mr. Jackson is one of our most progressive and careful business men. The Colorado Statesman must congratulate the Des Moines (Iowa) Dysstander and the Detroit (Mich.) Leader on the handsome appearance of their Christmas edition. They are certainly creditable publications. The Pink Tea party, given by the Missionary Circle of the Central Baptist Church on the 14th inst., was quite a success. A very good program was rendered, which was followed by the serving of refreshments by Waiter Deacons. The two-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Lightner died recently at Weeping Water, Neb., where Mrs. Lightner is spending the winter with relatives. Her sister, Miss Eliza Miller has been quite ill for several weeks. Watch Mike-Robes at Johnson-Noel Company, haberdashery at 1005 16th street, as he cuts a happy figure.

He is receiving the best of nursing from his faithful wife. Chief of Police Armstrong has detailed Officer George Lewis to minister to his wants at night. The Colorado Statesman extends to its many readers and friends generally its best wishes for the enjoy- ment of Christmas festivities, and allow us to whisper in your ear, if you owe us, please settle so that we, us and family, can have a little enjoyment.

The Carson Crockery Company, the largest firm of that kind in Denver, has opened store No. 2 at 1901 Welton street. Mr. I. Schoenthal is manager—one of the most competent and courteous business men in the city. The Carson Company has always been noted for fair dealing and moderate prices. They are offering the many readers of the Colorado Statesman special inducements to do their Christ mas shopping here and save money. The Scholtz Drug Company are now operating six drug stores and they are doing an immense business, securing the pink of the trade. People who desire the best in drugs, toilet articles, etc., know where to go to get the best. The Scholtz Drug Company has always given employment to colored people, notwithstanding adverse criticism and it behooves us as a race to give our patronage to all business people who treat us with that respect and courtesy that is accorded all other races. Mr. J. Finley Wilson, until recently associate editor of the Journal and Guide, Norfolk, Va., has located here to become general manager of the manufactures of the Hair Vim Chemical Company, of which Dr. Julia P. H. Coleman if the official head. The business of the company has so increased that the plant is to be materially enlarged and additional assistance is to be secured in every department. Dr. Coleman is a woman of rare business capacity, and Mr. Wilson will prove to be a fortunate acquisition, both to the company and to the commercial life of the capital city. Washington, D.

He had been ill for many months and was on the road to recovery but was stricken a week ago with paralysis which finally led to his death. He was the husband of Mrs. Lalu (Douglass) Lyons, a well known charity worker. He was the brother of Mrs. Eliza Bridgewater. The funeral was held Thursday, at 2 p.m. from St. Paul chapel, under the direction of the Benevolent Order of Peerless Knights—St. Louis (Mo.) Afro-American.

CHURCH NOTES. 26th and Clarkspn Streets. The choir will render a special musical and literary program Sunday evening. There will be no preaching. Sermon Sunday morning, "Glory to God." The church is being beautifully decorated by Mr. Fred Brown, superintendent of the Sunday school. The decorations are rare and expensive. Mr. Brown has a very artistic taste which is shown in his selection of decorations. The Christmas Tree and program will be on Monday evening, December 25th. We invite sister churches to be with us. The Rev. W. C. Williams preached an excellent sermon last Sunday afternoon, which was very heartily accepted by on the members of Scotts. We thank the reverend for this timely assistance. The reports coming from a loyal constituency showed a steady increase. Some of the auxiliaries did not report. We are expecting them to make their final report in the fourth quarterly conference, which will be held the last Sunday in February. Let the leaders go to work now and make this the banner fourth quarterly conference. The pastor will leave for the Annual Conference the first of March. The conference will meet in Oklahoma City this year. Bishop Qualye will be the presiding bishop. Miss Lela Rice deserves much credit for the way she is handling the little Juniors and Sunday school children in their rehearsals. Miss Rice is a model young lady of high ideals. In addition to this work she has assisted the president with the Christmas music for the choir and rehearsal for the drama. Miss Rice has won a substantial place in the affections of the members of Scotts. The president of the choir, Mrs. M. H. Hicks, promises to have the new choir chairs on the stand by Sunday. Each member will receive a token from the pastor. Dr. Horace E. Warner, the former superintendent of Missions of Denver has departed this life. Dr. Warner was a staunch friend of the Colored work in this city. He stood faithfully by the work of Scotts until his departure. He was a brother indeed, broad, scholarly and believed in giving an oppressed people a chance. Dr. B. T. Vincent was the chief speaker at the funeral service which was held from /Christ Church last Monday afternoon. Lady's purse, containing gold watch diamond ring, $40 in gold and a ticket to the U. S.

Owing to conflicting dates, the Dunbar Literary of Central Church yielded the evening of the 14th, Inst., to the Pink Tea party promoters. As results, the program for that evening, which was headed by a tubercular lecture of Dr. J. H. P. Westbrook was set aside until the first Thursday in next month. The society is fast gaining literary prestige in the community and much of it can be attributed to the added feature of series of tubercular lecture. Dr. Westbrook, who lectures on January 4th, is well known for his ability to interest his hearers and to distribute fit morsels for digestion. In this he will be assisted by Dr. E. Langston Faulkner, another of our talented physicians and lecturers. Dr. C. D. De Frantz delivered a powerful tubercular address last Thursday. The society will not be in session on Thursday, the 28th Inst. The Central Sabbath school is rapidly shaping itself for an elaborate Xmas exercise. The committee, assisted by its efficient musical director, Mrs. G. T. Raimy, is sparing no pains to make a complete success of the entertainment. The Men's Progressive Club of Central Church is planning an interesting emancipation program, etc. Watch, but keep off the date. BIRTHDAY RECEPTION Mr. S. H.

Tuskegee, Ala.—Dr. Graham Taylor, professor of civics in the University of Chicago, was a member of the par- tity that accompanied Mr. Julius Rosenwald to Tuskegee institute recently. One of the most helpful talks made to the students and teachers during the visit of Mr. Rosenwald and others to the school was that made by Dr. Taylor. Dr. Taylor has been connected with every movement for the social uplift of Chicago, lives in the Hull House district, and was a member of the recent Chicago vice commission, whose report stirred the country, because of its exposure of social conditions in Chicago. He spoke as follows: "You would not expect one of my age, speaking in public on the stage, to be the instructor of some of these venerable teachers of yours" the chapain and pastor of this great congregation, Mr. Whittaker; the man who has charge of your library, Mr. Wood, and the man who is sizing up your work and your social relations, Mr. Work, but I am not ashamed of these three men or to have had something to do with their valuation, though I must confess that all of my students have taught me quite as much as I have ever taught them. "I want to congratulate you, not only on having such a principal as has been described here by Mr. Rosenwald, Dr. Hirsch, Mr. Cooley and others, and I would even add to the description, if I had the time and the tongue, but I would like also to congratulate you upon having this staff of instructors. These men and women, who are like the cabinet of the president of the United States, who are like the staff of the general of an army, for a general is not much good after all without an army and without a staff in between him and the rank and file, so I am not going to take anything from Mr. Washington, not a bit, but I think he will rather agree with me, as a teacher, that his colleagues help to make the institution, and that without them and the gradual accumulation of training and discipline and study, neither Tuskegee nor any other institution would be possible, so I congratulate all of you students on the men and women who are teaching you, and they, with you, will congratulate themselves and yourselves upon the splendid leadership of the man who is leading you, not only you, however, but who is leading a whole lot of us all over this land into a larger vision and into a higher life. "You need not think that all the race problem is down here. You cannot even have a monopoly of that, even if you want to. I come out from as fierce a race struggle as any of you are in. I live in one of these great cosmopolitan wards of Chicago —25 different nationalities are around me in that great apartment house, all speaking different languages, a perfect Babel, and I wish to assure you that there is quite as deep a race feeling between the Irish and the Italian, or the Pole and the Greek as you will find between—well, I will not mention whom,—this side of Dixie-land. There was an immigrant who met in our parlor one evening with a lot of men to the manor born, that is, they thought they were, and he said: "You men here seem to think that I and my race are a problem." He further said, 'I deny that we are a problem at all. We are a solution of the problem. You seem to think you have given us work. We have not only created the industry by which we live, but by which a whole lot of you fellows live besides.' "I shall never forget the tremendous and direct confusion that followed that charge by that Russian Jewish neighbor of mine. It was quite true that his race had really created this great industry, and I can never fail to feel the thrill of gratitude and appreciation when creators of industries, and better still, possessors of spirit, such as you and your race have always shown against provocation that has sometimes seemed to me intolerable. Yet through all that terrible upheaval of the war, through all that dreadful reconstruction period, this race of yours never raised a hand of disloyalty, though they might have had much against that flag waved over their heads, though they might have had cause for deep and active resentment. Their patience was inexhaustible. I have never stood more like Moses at the burning bush with head bare as in the presence of Almighty God, as I have before the divine patience of your race. You have taught us and all other races how to be patient as God is patient. "As Dr. Hirsch was speaking of God's great creative work, I thought of that Gallileean who said: 'My father worked and I work, and so work is one of the common denominators of the race problem or any other problem in civilization; but more than work is the right spirit toward God and fellowman, the spirit of patience, the spirit of forgiveness. The spirit of everlasting and never-failing love is the common denominator which will solve all the great factors of our great problem, and no nation has a greater problem than we "Regard your own phase of the problem only as a phase of the one great, mighty problem that has been placed by God on America as on no other land. The mixture of our population, the tidal wave of immigration ever breaks over us there in that tenement house ward and yet the finest and strongest fibers of our American citizenship are being selected by a wonderful, natural and spiritual selection from the strains that run through all the races of the world to be woven into an international citizenship, into a great cosmopolitan community, the like of which the world has never seen. Foolish are we, if we reject any part of the racial inheritance of that world-wide heritage. We need it all. "We need the folklore songs—this original contribution which you, and you only, have made from America to the music of the world, as Rabbi Hirsch remarked when you were singing. You are the only ones who have actually added any real contribution to the musical composition of America by these wonderful folklore songs that you sing. We cannot afford to lose the glow from the land of Italy; we cannot afford to lose even the turbulent love of the freedom of the Pole. As all these nationalities meet and mingle or jar and jangle, whichever you please to call it, somewhere or other it seems to me, that something is in the making, some wonderful thing is coming to pass in this new and last continent, to be opened to freedom and the march of civilization. "Let us be patient with each other. Let us await God's almighty time, and then at the end none of us will be sorry that the others have made the contribution that their past has invested them with. This great and glorious composite people who will yet lead the world, because we have our roots in every path, the tang of every soil is in us, the life blood of every nation nearly leaps in our veins and the Jesus, whom you have sung about so long and whom you in your lowly and loving way are following, will lead us into a land of the richer promise, when we have passed through this wilderness which God knows is thorny enough when the race lines are drawn—but beyond is the land of promise. "Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord." NEGRO TURNED WHITE; DOCTORS ARE PUZZLED CASE TO BE REPORTED TO THE NATIONAL MEDICAL SOCIETY. Chillicothe, Mo.—The case of a negro who turned white is to be reported to the National Medical society with the hope that something may be learned of the peculiar skin disease which has baffled physicians of northwest Missouri for several years. The negro, who is dead here, was Dudley Payne, coal black and typically African in feature. The spotches at first appeared on his hands and later spread to the upper part of his body. The change came gradually. At the time of his death Payne's face and the upper part of his body were white as those of any Caucasian. THE TUSKEGEE NEGRO FARMERS' CONFERENCE. There is always deep interest manifested in the Tuskegee Negro Farmers and Workers' conference, and this year will be no exception to the rule. The sessions open January 17 and continue two days. The simple stories of the manner in which the colored farmers acquired their lands and developed their crops is encouraging to every one who knows the value of industry, thrift and persistence in well-doing, and the Workers' exchange of views on the second day, when representatives of the schools, churches and business forces get together for practical discussion, is a highly profitable affair. A goodly contingent will go to Tuskegee Institute from the east, and they invariably return enthusiastic over all they have seen and heard. Visitors to the conference are entertained as the guests of the school. Dr. Booker T. Washington will give them a warm welcome in person, as he makes it a rule to be present at these meetings each year. With the Sunday School congress to come to Tuskegee next June and the National Medical association to follow in August, 1912, promises to be a banner year at this great institution. WITNESS DOWNED THE LAWYER. A noted attorney was questioning a witness, and he insisted that the witness reply to his question by saying either yes or no. The witness protested because of the manner in which the question had been put he could not answer it intelligently with a yes or no. "There is no question but that can be answered intelligently with a yes or no," said the attorney. "I can ask you one question that you cannot answer intelligently with either yes or no," said the witness. "Put your question," said the attorney. "Have you stopped beating your wife yet?" asked the witness.—Mack's National Monthly. LUCK. Charles M. Schwab, like most successful men, has no belief in luck. Mr. Schwab, in a recent address in his native Loretto, said: "I advise my young Loretto friends to rely on their brains and muscles, and to put all thought of luck away from them. "A Loretto boy said to me the other day: "Mr. Schwab, what is luck? " "Luck." I replied, 'is the thing to which we give the credit for our successful friends hard work.' 422 Fifteenth Street.
