THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY UNDESIRABLE CITIZENS DIFFERENT KINDS OF NEGROES WHO CLOG THE WHEELS OF PROGRESS. THE CLASS BY WHICH THE CAUCASIAN GENERALLY JUDGES ENTIRE RAEC. VOL. XVIII. UNDESI CI DIFFERENT KINDS OF WHEELS OF PROGRE WHICH THE CAUCA JUDGES E (Editorial from Central Afro-American, St. Louis, Mo.) It has often been said that the world looks only on one class of Negroes when judging the race; this statement is partly true in some respects; but it takes the Negro man and woman who are trying to accomplish something to realize that the wheels of progress are clogged and coated not by any one class of Negroes, but by many classes and kinds, some of which we will attempt to describe. The class which the Caucasian generally judges the race by is that which constitutes as a general rule the street-corner loafer, who is always seen in the limelight, guadily dressed, sometimes wearing a sparkling diamond stud, feet encased in patent leather shoes, loud mouthed, and whose only aim seems to be that of attracting attention. Nine times out of ten this same Negro, if put to the test and shaken down, will be found that he cannot read nor write, has no visible meals of support, generally lives in a cheaply furnished room, takes his meals at some street corner lunch counter, where everything is cooked in the same grease, and doesn't know where a church is located unless he accidentally happens to pass one, following the lure of a brass band. The above class are the ones who as a rule commit seven-eights of the crimes which are laid at the door of the entire race. The sooner this class of parasites are eliminated from any city just that soon will it be better for the real men and women. Another class of wheel-cloggers is that which constitutes the pigeons and knockers. They never have a good word for any Negro man or woman, who is trying to do something. The fact is, they never have any faith in anybody or anything and are satisfied to merely live until they die. They take glory and pride in spending their time and carfare in an attempt to keep the white man informed as to what every other Negro is doing. There is still another class, the class that lives in glass houses, as you might say. They generally reside at "Midway Station"; that is, they are living on the dividing --- line between Respectability and Disrepute. Some of this class are members (in name only) of some church; others are teachers (in name only) of some of our children. This class live in a constant fear of being exposed, consequently the good that they might do for the race is eliminated on account of the precarious environments of a glass house. Still another class that are "air brakes" on the wheel of progress, is what we might term the "Afraid to Go Home in the Dark Class." They generally are the ones who can't afford to trade with a Negro in business, can't afford to be seen reading a Negro newspaper; but take great delight in sbreading out in a street car holding high above his head some white publication, whose front page is adorned with the words in big black letters: "Another Negro Lynched." We are sorry to say that some of these "barnacles" have the nerve to adorn their names with "Prof.," "Dr.", "Atty" etc. Another class which we have to contend with we will designate as Social Hypocrites" carry in its ranks recruits from all the other classes and it is they that are the moths that are gradually eating away the very vitals of our civic progress. They are found principally in room-house keepers, some of them professed Christians, who are dealing in illicit trafficking of liquors and at the same time lending their aid to the barter and sale of the virtue and the character of our young men and women. They can sometimes be found sitting in church on Sundays with the fumes of bottled beer and whisky dispoiling the atmosphere of a spiritual sermon. The sooner these classes that are mill-stones around the neck of the Negro race are shown up, the better it will be for all concerned. It is time that a general cleansing be gone through and, Mr. Reader, it is your duty to help, because there is some bovy that you know in some of these classes and as long as you shield and protect them even by silence you are equally as bad.

State Hist & Nat Hist Bodies State House YOU ALL A H RADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO PRESIDENT TEFT PRE-SIDES AT SESSION OF JEANES FUND BOARD Washington, D. C., Dec. 19. On Thursday, December 14th, at the White House, an important meeting of the Jeanes Fund Board, was held, at which President Taft, who is a member of the Board, presided by courtesy. The report of Prof. James H. Dillard showed that the fund expended in the past year in the interest of Negro education in the South was over $40,000, and in conjunction with the Slater Fund Board there are busily engaged in 2,500 communities in the South giving advice relative to how Negro children can be educated along practical lines, two field agents and 106 supervising teachers. Prof. H. T. Kealing, President of Western University, Quindaro, Kans, was elected a member of the Board, succeeding the late Bishop Abram Grant. Prof. Kealing's election met with the favor of all the other members, as he is highly conversant with Negro rural life. The colored members on the Board are Dr. Booker T. Washington, Hon. J. C. Napier, Register of the Treasury; Maj. R. R. Moton, of Hampton Institute; Hon. R. L. Smith, of Waco, Texas, and Prof. H. T. Kealing. The Jeanes Fund Board and the Slater Fund Board are working harmoniously together to uplift Negro life in the rural communities of the South, and the result has been gratifying. Prof. Dillard as general agent, has $3,000,000 under his supervision to expend for educational purposes in the rural districts of the South, $2,-000,000 of which has been set aside by the Slater Fund and $1,000,000 by the Jeanes Fund Board. The two boards combined expended $200,000 during the past year for Negro education. It was reported at the session that the directors of the Phelps-Stokes Fund had set aside a scholarship of $12,500 each at the University of Georgia and the University of North Carolina, to be awarded yearly to the successful student from each institution, who must be in sympathy with Negro education and who shall be sent out in the rural communities to study Negro life and education in all its phases for one year and write a treatise on his findings.

To the Editor, Colorado Statesman— Allow me to congratulate you upon your splendid and very beautifully worded editorial which appeared in your Christmas edition, December 23rd. As all of your editorials are very carefully written and to the point, we think your effort in your "Merry Xmas to All" was superb—the best, in fact, published in any Denver newspaper. It was for all—young and old; something that would touch the heart of the reader and cause him to think that there were many good people in this old world and that he would be remembered on this Xmas Day and be remembered others. Long may you live to write many "Happy Xmas" editorials. DETAILED EOR AFRICA. Capt. Chas. Young, 9th Cav., stationed at Ft. Russell, Wyo., has been detailed on Military information to Liberia Africa. Captain Young is now in Washington, D. C., on duty 15 days with the Staff of the Army. At the expiration of this duty, he will sail for Africa. Lt. Benj. O. Davis who was Military Attache to Africa will join the 9th Cav. at Ft. Russell. Lt. Davis is a Negro rose to his present position from the ranks. He is now the ranking first Lt. of his regiment. CANON CITY NOTES The smiles of Officer Pate are natural. His service to the state as a guard over her wards and the way he boosts for his city should make one feel proud. D. L. Bruton, a land mark at the postoffice; H. Baker, of the First National banw; D. J. Marsh, of the Elks' Club; S. B. Clark, of the Strathmore hotel; T. W. Yeiser, of the depot, and R. A. Anderson are making good in their respective positions, and are up-to-date when it comes to entertaining strangers or friends who stop over in their city. They are highly respected and are considered by all classes as being men among men. While Canon City is a busy town, the people have not forgotten the spiritual side of life. They have a Baptist and a Methodist church. There is no excuse for not attending services. Mrs. J. A. Caldwell has returned from a protracted visit in the East. FLORENCE, COLO. Is another town on the jump. Col. A. L. Rice and Mr. A. J. Yarber are on duty and there is no reason to believe that they are expecting to leave that humming little burg very soon. RACE NEWS Tuskegee, Ala., Dec. 19.—Booker T. Washington has been made one of the executors of the estate of the late Emmett Densmore, in Brooklyn, N. Y. This involves his also being one of the directors of the Garfield Tea Company located in Brookliyn. Belton, Texas, Dec. 17.—Will is Eustis, 111 years old, and Tandy Clark, 90 years o'er, were married here last evering. They are colored. The ages, which they gave the county clerk when they obtained the marriage license, are well authenticated. The bride and bridegroom are pert and seem good for several years of wedded bliss. It was the first matrimonial venture for either. They took a trolley ride for a honeymoon trip. The Negroes of New York received signal recognition at the hands of Justice John Ford last Monday, when he appointed Lawyer Wilford H. Smith referee in a foreclosure suit pending in the Supreme Court, involving the sale of a high-class apartment house on Washington Heights, valued at $300,000. This is not the first time Judge Ford has shown he has no prejudices in the administration of his high office. It will be recalled that a few months ago he excused a Southern white man as unfit for jury service for declaring he would not sit on the jury under a Negro foreman. The appointment of Mr. Smith was upon the recommendation of Hon. Chas. W. Anderson.—Age. The Kentucky Institution for the Education of the Blind Colored Children opened its doors October 4, 1886, with the late Mrs. Margaret Wood as matron and members of her family as the teaching and helping force. It continued under her excellent management untit her failing health prompted her to resign in September, 1906, after twenty years of faithful service. The board thereupon invited Mr. F. S. Delany, former principal of the Central High School, to return to Kentucky and take charge. Under Mr. Delany and his excellent wife many helpful features have been added, such as the organiza- of an orchestra, nightly readings to the school, crocheting, basketry, outdoor sports and indoor games. The school is open to all blind and partially blind children of Kentucky. Jackson, Ga., Dec. 15.—William Tnner, a Negro preacher, was hanged by due process of law in Kenk's Opera House here yesterday. Never before probably was a formal sentence of death carried out in a place of amusement. Turuer was executed for having incited a race riot, in which Jesse Singley, a prominent planter, was shot to death. In the private boxes and frontrows of the opera house yesterday many relatives and those who were friends of Singley were seated. Other parts of the house were not crowded but only because the sheriff refused to issue many cards of admission, for on the street a throng of whites and Negroes knocked on the closed doors and clamored for admission. The sheriff posted a guard of his deputies to restrain the crowd, whose yearning to see the hanging was triply intensified by its staging. The sheriff had intended to carry out the law's mandate in the jail yard, but he was rather apprehensive that the crowd break in. Besides, it was raining, the weather was really very disagreeable, so the sheriff decided to hang Turner in the opera house that those most deeply interested, Singley's relatives might not be kept standing in the rain. ULRICH SENT TO PENITENTIAY Newark, N. J., Dec. 19.—On complaint of the Children's Aid and Protective Society of the Oranges, Henry A. Ulrich, Dr. Washington's assailant, pleaded guilty on December 6th of wilful neglect and desertion of his wife and two minor children. Ulrich was arraigned before County Court Judge Davis, in Newark. The following sentence was imposed upon Ulrich: "That he placed on probation in the custody of the Chief Probation Officer of Essex County, John J. Cascoyne, for a term of three years and to furnish a bona fide bond of $1,000, to pay $10 a week to the Probation Officer of Essex County during that term for the support of his wife and children." In default of furnishing the bond, Ulrich is to stand committed to the Essex County Penitentiary at Caldwell, New Jersey, for one year or until such time as he can furnish the bond within that time. It is said that Ulrich has thus far been unable to secure a proper bondsman in Essex County and that he will stand committed to the penitentiary to serve out his sentence.

The International Harvester'Company has appropriated $500,000 for Christmas distribution among its 2,000 employes. Snow plows have been ordered out in Texas. Two feet of snow are on the level along the Panhandle route of the Fort Worth and Denver. B. K. Tormey, a cattleman, who, with his wife, moved to St. Louis about four months ago from Ault, Colo., is mysteriously missing, and his wife fears he has met with foul play. Although Grover, Colo., is almost twenty-five years old it has never had a cemetery until S. Cunningham of the Rock Ridge district deeded two acres of his homestead for one a few days ago. Land show officials at St. Paul experienced a scare when a grain exhibit caught fire from an explosion of a photographer's flashlight outfit. Quick work by firemen prevented a spread of the flames. The jury that is to try the ten Chicago packers charged with violation of the criminal provisions of the Sherman anti-trust law, has been completed and the opening statement of District Attorney Wilkerson begun. Oklahoma City, Okla., was chosen for the national Socialist party convention in the referendum vote. The convention will begin May 12, 1912. Indianapolis, Ind., was the second choice and Cincinnati third. Kissing in Kansas City parks here after will be an expensive luxury, and talking "sassy" to women in stores and other public places also will come higher. The chief of police has posted a scale of fines under which the above diversions are listed. FOREIGN. A battle is imminent in the island of Jolo between 600 Moros and a force of American troops. Since the steamships Vandal and Sarmet, of 700 tons each, were built and equipped with oil fuel engines in Sweden six years ago, remarkable progress has been made with the use of internal combustion engines for vessels. Up to a year ago they were confined to small river boats and yachts. Now there are building, or about to be built, in European ship-building yards, with a view to classification in Lloyd's Register, no fewer than a dozen ocean-going craft which will be fitted with oil engines, the largest of them being 8,000 tons gross, while another of 14,000 tons is contemplated. WASHINGTON. Major General Chas. L. Hodges, U. S. A., retired, died at his home after an illness of several months. One hundred fat turkeys were distributed by the President to all married men employed around the building. For the next week President Taft will work on a message to Congress dealing with economy and efficiency in the government departments. Week-end tourists who want to go back to the folks with photographs with a real Washington, D. C., label on them, showing President Taft in the act of shaking them by the hands, or in earnest conversation with them, got an unexpected Christmas present from Mr. Taft, for the President has put the official ban on these "fake" photographs. The President has sent to Congress the Tariff Board's report on the wool schedule and consideration of tariff legislation in the committees of the two houses will begin after the holiday recess. The report of the board shows that the existing duties on many classes of wool and woolen manufactures are prohibitory and greatly in excess of the difference in the cost of production here and abroad. The duties are so arranged as to keep out of the United States entirely wool of the finer qualities, which, if imported, might be used to displace the cheap substitutes now employed. President Taft calls attention to these points and urges that a revision of the schedule be proceeded with at once. Among the things that Santa Claus brought to the White House was a mailbag that contained what the office force estimated at three times the usual quota of Christmas greetings from all quarters of the earth. The spectacular contest over the constitutionality of the Indiana pure foodl aw of 1907 was transferred to Washington when the fight was renewed in the Supreme Court of the United States. The court is expected to decide whether any state may enact legislation regulating food brought into a state from another. SPORT. Otto Suter of Cleveland, O., and Gustafson, of Winnipeg, wrestled four hours here to a draw. Tommy Dixon won a popular decision over "Chalkie" Germain in a six-round boxing match before the St. Louis Athletic Club in the Coliseum. The Boston Nationals have passed officially into the new hands, and during the coming season James E. Gaffney of New York and John M. Ward, pitcher of the New York team twenty years ago, will direct its affairs. Ad Wolgast, the champion light-weight pugilist, who was operated upon at a hospital in Los Angeles November 29 for appendicitis, on the eve of his scheduled fight with Freddie Welsh of England, left the hospital and is now in Venice. A Chinese baseball team will invade the United States next spring, according to plans announced by Robert Yap, who is a resident of Chicago The team contemplating the trip is the Chinese Athletic Club of Honolulu and will be the first Chinese baseball club to visit this country. GENERAL. Postmaster General Hitchcock intends to extend the practice of carrying second class mail by fast freight trains. Fire, which wrecked two factory buildings in the Williamsburg district at Brooklyn, caused a loss estimated at $500,000. Thirty-eight days from Tsingtau, China, the British bark Calcutta has arrived, establishing a new record for the journey. Joseph Reed and Thomas Levan, miners, were buried alive when thousands of tons of coal fell in the Backer No. 4 colliery, at Shenandoah, Pa. Twelve hundred letters of Christmas greeting and sympathy came to James Whitcomb Riley, the Hoosier poet, who has been ill several months. The St. Louis Livery and Undertaking Association has announced an increase of $1 on every carriage and $2 on every hearse used in funerals in that city. Miss Clara Barton, founder and first president of the American Red Cross Society, was showered with greetings and good wishes on the ninetieth anniversary of her birth. The government has filed suit in the United States Circuit Court against the Keystone Watch Case Company, declaring it an unlawful combination in violation of the Sherman anti-trust act. While trying to show how he had lost the forefinger of his right hand, Francis Lotsosky, employe in a Granite City, Ill., foundry, put the forefinger of his left hand up on a whirling saw and it was cut off. Many earthquakes and one or two days in which she encountered unusually heavy seas featured the voyage of the Pacific mail liner, Pennsylvania, which arrived in port from Panama. The Rev. Charles M. Sheldon, author of "In His Steps," has resigned the pastorate of the Central Congregational church of Topeka, which he has held for twenty-three years. He will make a tour of the world. With the ultimate object of standardizing all hash served in public places in Kansas the State Board of Health has instituted an investigation as to the ingredients commonly used by restaurants and hotels in the concoction of the dish. Arthur F. Griffith of Milford, Ind., a lightning calculator who has bewildered vaudeville attendants throughout the country for a number of years by his mathematical wizardy, was found dead of apoplexy in his bed at a Springfield, Mass., hospital. As a punishment for carrying a stock swindle by mail, alleged to have extended over two years and said to have netted millions in profit, four promoters of the firm of Burr Brothers, New York, incorporated, were each sentenced to a year's imprisonment on Blackwell's island. Reindeer meat from Alaska soon may be a food common to the American table, says William F. Lopp, in charge of the government reindeer service there. "In twenty-five years at the present rate of increase," he says, "there should be 3,000,000 prime reindeer in Alaska, on which the people of this country can depend for much of their flesh diet. In taste, reindeer meat is a cross between mutton and beef, but more palatable than either." The full bench of the United States Circuit Court has overruled the demurrers interposed by the Hamburg-American Steamship Company and other trans-Atlantic lines forming the "Atlantic conference," against the government's suit for their dissolution. The government's contention is that the "conference" is, by reason of an allied pooling agreement on passenger rates, a trust in restraint of trade, and injunction is asked to restrain the companies from further execution of the agreement. That frost has reached at least twenty per cent of the orange crop in the interior of southern California is indicated by reports received. Whether this fruit will be ruined depends, the growers say, on the weather conditions for the next few days. A Kansas man has bet $20,000 that rain will fall in Thomas county, Kansas, between March 1st and May 1st of next year. If the rain comes "Jim" Fiske will clean up $26,000 next summer, go to Europe, wear patent leather shoes and a silk hat, and "kill it" generally. LOOKS LIKE JOHNSON IS THROUGH WITH PRIZE RING LOOKS LIKE JOHNSON IS THROUGH WITH PRIZE RING San Francisco, Cal.—When Jack Johnson first talked of retiring many thought it was merely one of the champion's whims, and that he would be back in the game with both feet the first time "proper inducements" were made to him. New corrobative testimony is forthcoming that Jack is through with the frivolities of the ring and that he is plagued with ennul to the extent that he does not care a continental who succeed to the title. He waives all right to a voice in the bestowal of the laurels and says he has no suggestions to make as to the heavyweights best fitted to wear them. This is bad. It means there will be a cloud on the heavyweight championship for years—that the man who assumes the prerogative without licking Johnson, will be regarded as a pretender, a jackal masquerading in a lion's skin. There must be continuity in a thing of this kind. Each succeeding champion is merely a link in a chain of destruction. The newest man—or the latest model, one might say—licked a champion who licked another champion and so, link by link, we trace our latest prize ring here back to some dim and distant "champ" just as a race horse traces to the Byerley Turk, or the Darley Arabian. When a broken link appears, there is a blot on the escutcheon of the man whose reputational pedigree we are investigating, and so it will be if Johnson escapes from the game unlicked and some one grabs his title. This line of argument is easily proved sound. John L. Sullivan defeated Paddy Ryan, who defeated Joe Lewis; Jim Corbett defeated Sullivan; Jim Jeffries defeated Jim Corbett; Jim Jeffries defeated Bob Fitzsimmons and Jack Johnson didn't do a thing to Jeffries. Just think of the mental suffering of the sporting editors of the future while trying to explain to old subscriber and constant reader that the old line of champions ended with Johnson, and that the new breed is only a kind of a Manchu dynasty. Something must be done to stall off the confusion that threatens the fistic historians of the coming years. We must drag Johnson back at any price—and this "goes both ways," as this slangster says—and have him trounced to the queen's taste. It should be done to keep the record straight, and come to think of it, 'twill be merely what some call "poetic retribution." The Jeffries that Johnson licked was merely the husk of the Jeffries that used to be, and Johnson has as much right to hearken to the "come back" cry as Jeffries had, especially if he prizes his right. There's another angle to the question which is bound to engender bitterness of spirit. I refer to the racial angle. If Johnson is allowed to rest in peace there will come a time—and then succeeding time—in which the men with the dark pigment beneath the cuticle will say: "The first negro that was given a chance became the champion of the world. They couldn't defeat him, and so as not to block the wheels of progress, he stepped aside and allowed them to arrange a fresh deal. The chain of destruction which began with Figg and Mendoza ended with Jack Johnson." Joe Jeannette, through his manager, Dan McKettrick, is the first to lay claim to the crown left on the bureau of Jack Johnson. McKettrick says that he has shown himself superior to Sam Langford on various occasions, and that it wasn't so much Australian gold as a desire to evade Jeannette that sent Langford scurrying to the land of the Kangaroo. This is the first shot in the new campaign and Jeannette probably has as much right to fire it as any other man. But how are things to be brought to a focus? With Johnson on the retired list, astute Hugh McIntosh is sure to bill the impending Sam Langford-Sam McVea fight as a world's championship struggle, and who is to gainsay him? Maybe the best thing for Jeannette to do is begin weeding at his end. Let him hook up with Jim Flynn, who seems to be regarded as the best of the white heavies, and let the winner of that affair journey to Australia or coax the winner of the McVea-Langford bout back to this city. Then he will begin to get a line on the situation. Tom O'Rourke, or some one back in New York, has expressed the opinion that a white man would be champion of the world again before long. It is not easy to see how the conclusion is arrived at. If there is a white man in the lists at present who is capable of defeating Jeannette, Langford and McVea, he is kept under cover. No, sir! So far as the palefaces are concerned, there is little hope in the outlook right now. And the shadow of Johnson is liable to fall and thwart the prospect any time during the next few years. Jeffries on the occasion of his first retirement, said he would hop back into the game if a foreigner ever won the championship from America, and Jack Johnson will make up his mind to don his paint again if the supremacy of the black race is threatened.

Withailing issues, he must either elements of the people, or seek to and other elements now often to his greater advantage, but in political restrictions will continue he now enjoys as a factor in The study of this coming condition. What position would the colored American occupy in politics if both the Republican and Democratic parties, in name, organization and other present distinguishing features, should pass out of existence? If influences, already at work, should establish new issues which in turn should bring about entirely new alignments under new party names, what would become of the colored brother and his present race-guided attitude? These questions may seem superfluous and unimportant to the embryonic statesman of our race, but the student of passing events may realize that we are talking of matters very much within the realm of near possibilities. Both of the great political parties of the present are undergoing radical changes in the characters of their fundamental principles and classes of individuals in each of these parties are even now struggling for mastery. Great industrial financial and economic questions are forging their way to the front, and under the dictates of men of brilliant minds, are absorbing the attention of constituencies better used to ideas and principles which many campaigns have not satisfactorily settled. And these new questions are driving out the old ones, and whether the passing of the latter shall be quick or slow, their final shelving seems a certainty. With the passing of old questions must come new political allignments and the nature of the new issues are such that entirely new divisions must take place among the people and even within the ranks of the parties to whose hitherto settled principles they have clung as sacred inheritances, hallowed by time and the blood of their forefathers. It is the settled purpose of far-seeing statesmen to work a change in the political faith of the people, regardless of its effect upon party names or party organizations. Sectional issues and feelings have long been deplored by earnest men, and the desire to drive them out of the national life is greater than the determination to remember or defend their cause. The great industrial and economic questions furnish the methods by which compromises are to be wrought and great changes realized. War questions and race questions are to be obliterated, and, incidentally, the colored man and his special interest are to be regarded by the dominant people as unnecessary and useless issues. Those interests are to be submitted to the conscience of the nation, while the dominant people make new allignments upon the issues more vital to themselves. Then must come the new political parties, built upon the graves of those which were largely sectional in spirit and tradition. Then where will the colored American be? With no racial motive that can be applied to prevailing issues, he must either divide his vote upon his opinions, like other elements of the people, or seek to solidify it upon candidates, as the Germans and other elements now often do. This, in the North, would probably work to his greater advantage, but in the South, where under any circumstance, his political restrictions will continue indefinitely, he will lose the prestige which he now enjoys as a factor in the machinery of one of the great parties. The study of this coming condition by thoughtful men cannot be wisely delayed. FRIENDS OF THE JEW. In came up in the national House for the termination of the treaty, Asia, because Jewish citizens of the official passports, have been refuse the country, it was promptly pass house were practically unanimous american citizen, declaring that "national honor" to the United State friendly intercourse of the two political division over the matt WHEN a resolution came up in the national House of Representatives the other day providing for the termination of the treaty of 1832 between the United States and Russia, because Jewish citizens of the United States, regularly provided with official passports, have been refused the right to travel in Russia or to enter the country, it was promptly passed by a vote of 300 to 1. The members of the House were practically unanimous in their expression of loyalty to the Jewish American citizen, declaring that Russia's affront to them was a matter of "national honor" to the United States, and that the treaty arrangement for the friendly intercourse of the two countries ought to be abrogated. There was no political division over the matter, for Democrats and Republicans alike thought that they saw in it a perfectly safe opportunity to go on record as friendly to the Jewish citizens, who will cast some hundred thousands of votes in the presidential election next year. The resolution was scheduled for similar smooth sailing through the Senate, but before it had time to reach that body, the text of the resolution had been telegraphed to Russia, and the Czar's representative at Washington had been instructed to protest vigorously and determinedly against it, because its language and general import were considered an insult to Russia, and its final passage would cause Russia to sever all friendly relations with the United States. This created a situation full of danger and brought statesmen to a place where their sincerity could be tried. The unanimity of the House members was in reality practical proof that they had no idea that such a trying situation would develop, and the strenuous efforts since put into play to compromise the matter in such a way as to save the honor of the United States without completely disrupting our relations with Russia, demonstrates the utter unreliability of party professions in this country concerning a political devotion to the special interests of any particular class of citizens. As a matter of real principle, the American Jew is entitled to just as much protection and backing from the government of the United States as any other citizen of the country is entitled to. That Russia breeds and nurses a deep political hatred for the Jew should make no difference to us, after we have adopted the Jew as a citizen and he has become an established and important part of our citizenship. Neither should the fact that we exclude the Chinaman as a citizen cause our government to hesitate to enforce its principles of loyalty to the Jew, in this case, for it does not involve the right of an American citizen to become a citizen of another country (for that is purely a matter of domestic policy), but the matter here at issue is whether our passports may be ignored by a treaty country, merely because that country does not like the racial character of certain portions of our citizens. The United States includes in its citizenship large and important elements of various race types, many of which, for diverse ill-founded and un-Christian reasons, may be objectionable, either as citizens or travelers in various other countries. If it shall be confessed that these national prejudices can be recognized and acquiesced in by the United States, it is time that we began drafting a new constitution, that we stop puffing out our chests and claiming to be a world-nation. If we cannot defend the Jew and all other race elements which form portions of our national citizenship, and defend him without political dodging or other form of official fear, it is time that the dependable law of the country should declare who are, and who are not, American citizens. this so much unnecessary trouble in the world, so much might be avoided by giving more thought to our own was and trying a little harder for happiness.

HERE is so much unnecessary trouble in the world, so much that might be avoided by giving more thought to our own problems and trying a little harder for happiness. When my son, who was the light of my eyes, in his very early youth ran away and married a girl of whom I couldn't help but disapprove, my heart was broken. It was as if he had died. But I soon, having a little sense and experience, awoke to the fact that if I was not to lose him altogether I must make the best of the girl he had married. Why shouldn't one? Why must a woman criticise, advise and interfere when she knows, when she is old enough to know, that the advice will not be heeded, and that the criticism and interference will be resented, and when what she risks is—the love of her son! I made up my mind that I was the one who had the sense and the experience; therefore I was the one to overlook and make allowances. I won't say that it was easy to withhold advice when I saw them going wrong, but I never gave it unless I was asked. They had to learn wisdom of the only teacher—experience. When they made mistakes I sympathized instead of criticised. Everything that I disapproved of I ignored, and everything that could be praised I praised. They have been married five years now, and though we have lived together most of the time, there has never once an angry word passed between us. The faults in her that I most deplored have been cured by association and example. She is like an own daughter to me, and I am proud of her wherever she goes. They are planning their own home now, and "mother's room" is part of the plan, and they have two lovely children, who seem to love "grandmother" quite as much as either parent. Now, isn't this worth while? My fellow mothers-in-law, can't you remember how crude, how selfish, how immature you were at the age of this girl, who comes into your family hoping to find love and who finds only criticism? track to which their specific nature determines them. air specific nature determines them. improve himself by study, by exertions of his own talents, do this.

They give no signs of reasoning and this becomes more evident when we compare their actions with those of rational man. All men, in full possession of their faculties, can grasp the abstract relation between means and ends, inventing and making new and various means, tools to accomplish their designs. Brute animals never do so; they can only follow the one beaten Since it is the unanimous opinion of medical authorities that smoking by minors is highly injurious, it is certainly distressing to observe in all parts of the city an amazing increase of juvenile smoking. Many of these youngsters have told me that they were only fourteen or fifteen. It seems clear that the reason why these youngsters take up smoking is because they think that it is manly and that they are thus made into little men. One boy of sixteen, who had on short trousers when I met him smoking told me that usually he wore long trousers, and As the days pass into months and the months into years, we pause and look, or rather try to look, into the future. Every normal human being is gifted with a desire to conquer something. That something may be very great or exceedingly small in its proportions. Sometimes the idea or formation of the distinct desire is long in coming to the surface. But when it does come it is there to stay. Now, I ask, does it pay to strive and struggle to become one of immortal fame?

"When the inner history of the crisis is told by the private diaries of today, " remarks the "Observer," in reference to the rather amusing political situation of the moment. Well, we stop there with the query: Is there a private diarist? Is there a man in this hurried age who goes home and sits down, tired with action, faces the splendid industry of the diary, and makes it up?"—London Chronicle. Weary Feet. I wonder how many people who suffer tortures with their feet in hot weather, agonies of aching, burning, swelling and extreme tenderness, know that a raw potato, peeled and cut in half and well rubbed over them every night and morning will cure the trouble? Or, falling that, a good daily soaking in strong cold tea? Or that the worst soft corn will yield to a treatment of salt—ordinary salt applied night and morning?

Below appears two excellent programs arranged fo. the meetings of the People's Sunday Alliance; one for December 31, 1911, and the other for January 7, 1912. The December program carries as a special feature the third essay of the Historical Research Series. Mrs. Maddox, the essayist, captured her hearers at a meeting of Alliance some months ago by her excellent diction as well as the choice matter and logical style of her paper. We expect much of her this time. The Emancipation program speaks for itself. Program December 31, 1911. Piano selection .... Miss Lela Rice Current Literature and Comment. Coronet Solo ....

Church Choir Our programs are rendered at 2630 Welton street, the time is 4 p. m., the first and last Sunday of each month. The public is cordially invited. THE PEOPLE'S PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. Sermon Topics, Sunday, Dec. 31st. 11 a. m.—"The Tragedy of Fathers' Neglect." 9:45 p. m.—Christian Endeavor—"Things I Want to Better Next Year," Phil. 13:12-14. 10:30 p. m.—"Forgetting the Things That Are Behind." The consensus of opinion by the friends, visitors and members of this church is that Xmas services, of which the music formed a most conspicuous part, was beyond the expectation. With some contraction the musical program will be repeated Sunday morning. We are too modest to overestimate our work for the sake of notoriety. What we say we are doing can pass muster at any time. We therefore invite one and all to hear the choir's special as well as the second of the series by the pastor to parents. The church, with all of its auxiliaries, are under great indebtedness to Prof. Hewetson-Watson for his contribution of musical ability. From time to time he has helped us even more than a disinterested paid employee. Don't forget the Old Year's sermon at 10:30 p. m. Words are unfindable to thank Miss Gertrude Striplin and Mrs. Stella Madox, also Misses Susie Hall and Grace Cole for their unflagging interest and pains taken in preparing the Sabbath school scholars for their Xmas exhibition last Sunday night. Musical critics say the program rendered was so proficient as if two months was at the teachers' disposal for preparation. The hearts of the little ones were made glad with their respective receipts from the Xmas Tree Monday night. The Guild and Missionary Society wound up the day in "High Glee" with a "Spelling-B," followed by the serving of supper. The People's Church will observe the week of Prayer as outlined by the churches of the Evangelical Alliance throughout the world, beginning Sunday night, January 7, 1912, to the following Sunday night. Subjects will be submitted next week. The Hazell Chapter of the Westminster Guild will meet in its New Year's meeting Tuesday night, January 2, 1912, at 8 o'clock, with the Misses De Neal, 1154 Broadway. All the members are urged to make this first meeting of the year a record-breaking one as to attendance and finance and spiritual enthusiasm. Xmas Day at High Noon, at the residence of his father, 4524 Vrain street, and in the presence of parents, relatives and friends, Mr. Benjamin H Kirtley took unto himself a wife in the person of Miss Alberta Payne Rev. J. A. Thos-Hazell was the officiating minister. The church and pastor wish these newly-wed people every success in their marital undertaking. The pastor wishes to thank the choir, members and friends for their Xmas gifts to him. A prosperous New Year to one and all. SCOTT M. E. CHURCH NOTES. 26th and Clarkson Streets. The Wtatch meeting will begin at 10:30 Sunday night. The regular evening services will begin promptly on the hour. Special sermon in keeping with the season of the year will be delivered Sunday evening. After the Watch services coffee and cake will be served free. Come with us and enjoy yourself. The Epworth League will elect its officers for the new year Sunday evening at the League hour. All Epworthians are urged to be present and help to select the ones who will guide the destinies of the young people's society for the year. Mrs. J. M. Johns, who made a hurried visit to her brother-in-law's bedside is in the city again at her post of duty at 1410 Grant avenue. Mr. Johnson had a very serious attack of pneumonia, but is rapidly recovering at this writing. He lives in Little Rock, Arkansas. The drama rendered by the choir was a success. Mrs. Hicks, the president and her co-workers deserve much praise for the way they handled this entertainment. The choir chairs will be purchased this week. We congratulate this organization for the promptness that they are giving in carrying out their promise. We need a pulpit carpet. What organization will begin work and plan to buy one? The Christmas tree was decorated with taste and pains. The committee on decorations deserve much credit for the way they beautified the church. The program rendered by the Sunday school and Junior League was very interesting. Miss Rice had the entire supervision of the program and the arrangements and rendition of the program showed much care and painstaking. The Sunday school children were very liberally remembered. The pastor and his wife wish to thank the many friends for the tokens of remembrance which made glad the hearts of every one in the parsonage. The tokens sent were something needed in every instance and this face made them the more valuable. We only regret that we are not able to return value for value. We will return it in love and faithful service. Mr. C. J. Collier has been appointed leader of Class number two. Mrs. Edna Collier is on the sick list, but is rapidly recovering. A ten days meeting will be inaugurated about the fifteenth of January. The entire membership is urged to participate in this effort to revive the church. The pastor will conduct the meetings. THE NEW UNDERTAKING FIRM. Curtis M. Harris has purchased the interest of Mrs. Cassels and Mrs. Hubbard, in the Douglass Undertaking Company. Mr. Harris has had a large experience in the undertaking business, having before coming to Colorado spent several years in the various departments of this work. For the past two years he has been funer- A. E. CURTIS M. HARRIS. Funeral Director. al director for the A. M. Lawhorn Undertaking Company, and enjoys the reputation of having rendered excellent service. Since "Man is born to die" and undertaking establishments are absolute necessities, there is no reason why the Douglass Undertaking Company, with the combination of Contee & Harris, should not be a splendid business success.

Denver, Colo. AFRO-AMERICAN GULLINGS Editing a newspaper in some re- spects is a good deal like preaching. ‘The gospel truth must be presented in the form of generalities or some fellow will get hit and howl, says a recent writer. Few persons like truth, even in homeopathic doses, it it hits them. But while preachers and editors are criticised for what they do say, no one thinks of giving them credit for what they do not say Yet what they keep to thempelves constitutes the major portion of what they know about people. Very many people harbor the belief that news- papers are eager to publish deroga- tory things. It's a mistake. There fsn’t a newspaper that could not spring a sensation in the community at any time by merely telling what it knows. There is not a newspaper that does not keep under the lock of secrecy ccores of derogatory things which never meet the public ear. De- ciding what not to print is the most troublesome part of newspaper work. How many good stories are sup- pressed for innocent relatives and for the public good nobody outside of a newspaper office has any idea of. In some instances he who files into a passion because a newspaper prints something about him which he con- siders uncomplimentary has every reason to feel profoundly grateful to the newspaper for publishing 80 little of what it knows of him. And oft times the loudest bluffer is the most vulnerable to attack. A big noise is often adevice employed to cover trep- dation. Newspapers put up with more bluffing than any other agency would endure. It is not because they lack courage; it {s because they are unwilling to use their power to destroy or ruin unless the interests of society imperatively demand it. It might be well for some people to reflect upon these truths and in silent gratitude ac- cept mild admonition, lest worse be- fall them.—Minneapolis Argus. ‘The editor of the Minneapolis Ar- gus speaks boldly and truthfully when he states that the editor of a paper is not eager to publish “derogatory things.” Each week, we could publish column after column of things we know on the big and little fellows, at- tacking their honesty and derogating acts. It’s really a shame sometimes that the degrading actions of those in high places are not brought to light, but for the sake of one's family, and other relations, the editor withtiolds such matter, taking the view that in the final analysis, it will do no good. But let it be understood that while a newspaper man knows and learns much of an individual that Is dis- graceful; yet If he is a menace to s0- ciety and the people of a community, there is no editor that lacks courage to denounce him. It 1s, however, the duty of the edi- tor to speak of all wrongs committed against society, yet he must be full of human sympathy, love of fair play and loyal to the highest Ideals of American freedom and Hberty. The people of today have ceased to patronize the paper that thrives on scandal and les, but are supporting those that are clean, decent and: hon- orable. As the editor, so the newspa- per. As a result of the recent conference of governors relative to low price of cottoz, which corierence considered ways anc means by which the farmer could get a better price for his: sta- ple, a plan has been arranged by which a loan of $50,000,00 1s to be made to the farmer at the rate of $25 per bale. He will be allowed to hold his cotton till the price reaches 12 cents and will be required to sell when It reaches 13 cents. The plan looks good on paper and may benefit a large number of farm- ers. But it will fafl to beneft the large number of farmers who belong to the credit merchants. When a farmer goes in in January and gives a mortgage on his crop and then buys all he can on credit against it, he will have to market his cotton in thé fall just as fast as he can get it out—if not faster! He can’t hold a thing. And the farmer who happens to come out with a surplus about once in ten years and then whirls in and invests that surplus in chips ead whetstones, $250 mules, and $90 saddles, rubber- tired hacks, and shiny wagons, and then has to buy his provisions at credit prices. Such a man ts bound to unload as soon as he gets out his cotton. He couldn't wait even if the millennium was just around the corner and signaling to him to hold ont “This thing of trying to fix a better price for cotton when a large per cent of cotton raisers are hog-tied to some ‘orfe else, is about on a level with the effort of Jack Cade and his followers to fix the price of bread when they were without any of the ingredients with which bread is made. And the plan to reduce the acreage will prove about as successful as that of two lovers who met at the home of thelr lady love. Neither could haye full sway while the other was present and both came to the conclusion about the same time to return home. Each bade good night to her and proceeded on different streets to their respective homes.

When he got there he found that his rival had conceived the same plan and had put it over him by sev- ‘eral minutes. As pointed out by the Dallas News some time ago, the only way to get the farmer in position to get a good price for his cotton is to get the farmer out of debt! He can materially assist in this process by concentrating his smoke house and corn crib at home instead of having them scattered up in Kan. sas City and St. Louls—Dallas Ex. See A new administration in Hayti al- ways has to face the troublesome ques: tion of its foreign debts. The debts are incurred, for the most part, by the destruction of the property of foreign residents by warring revolutionists, and, money borrowed of foreigners by them to prosecute their revolutions. ‘The successful party has to assume its own obligations as well as those of the parties which came and went be- fore. The new president, Gen. Le Conte, has asked the Joint Mixed com- mission for an extension of time for the payment of the claims piled up against his administration by his pre- decessors. The taxpayers of Hayti are to be pitied. They get practically nothing but revolution upon revolution for the money exacted of them. Their leading men appear to value their government only as a means to secure enough to live in Paris, or some other European capital, where life is gay and easy to those who have big names and bank accounts. Patriotism in Hayti seems to be confined to the poor, uneducated people, who have de- fended it in times past with a valor worthy of any people. How can they be protected from their educated sol- diers and statesmen?

He was a veiy large man physically, and good natured as a boy. He had been president since 1908, and dictator since 1906, of the turbulent little neighbor of Hayti, and, it is said, the country prospered under his dicta: torship. But he was a marked man. He killed President Heureaux in cold blood because Gen. Heureaux had killed his father in cold blood, and he in his turn was killed in cold blood by friends of President Heureaux. So the blood feud becomes a running issue, in which, among those concerned in it, no man can tell the hour when he will be overtaken by the avenger. It must be a fearful condition in which to live and die. The finances of the country have been under the United States customs receivership about six years and that fact may be responsible for the peace which the country has en- joyed during that period. If a new president should succeed Gen. Caceres without a revolution it would be a very unusual but gratifying event.—New York Age. Railroad Men and Waiters’ — C1 We lead, others follow.

Phone Main 8232 One of the most impressive exhibits in the Tuskegee booths at the recent Macon county (Georgia) Negro fair was a newly made grave mound cov- ered with ears of corn. At the head of this grave was placed a beveled top- per head:board on which this epitaph could be read: Death of the Mortgage “In Memory of C. C. Mortgage, Born January, 1911, Killed October 31, 1911. Gone the way all crop Mortgages should go.” ‘An old colored lady, seeing this ex fact replica of a grave and being un- able to read, exclaimed: “Dah, dah! Somebody done come here and died! De Lawd giveth and the Lawd taketh. ‘Who was de man? And how came dey to bury ‘lm here, right in de Fair?” It was a long time before they could make her understand that the exhib- it only represented the burial of the chattel crop mortgage, and to show the way all crop mortgages should go. THE ZOBEL BROTHERS’ 1004 Nineteenth Street, Corner of Curtis FINE WINES, LIQUORS AND CIGARS COORS' CELEBRATED BEER ON TAP DENVER COLORADO Do you own an automobile? No! Well, the increase in the automobile business 1s one of the most remarkable in the history of any one of our many comparatively new industries. In 1904, for example, 22,830 automobiles were produced, capitalized at $23,084,000, while in 1909, 127,287 were produced, capitalized at $173,837,000, according co ‘the federal census bureau. The cap- {talization of the whole business, that is, all parts of it, in 1904, $30,034,- 000 and $249,202,000. The automobile is fast displacing the horse. It is ceas- ing to be a vehicle in the reach of the rich only as a luxury and is becoming one of service within the reach of peo ple of ordinary means. It has opened a splendid field of employment for ne- groes, as drivers, which is a better and less barbarous term than chauffeurs, and in all the large cities they are op- erating garages as owners or mana- gers. The number of our business and professional men who own auto- mobiles is large and steadily 1m creasing.

LET'S MAKE THIS YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD STORE MORE APPROPRIATIONS FOR INDIAN THAN NEGRO President Thirkield Gives Figures in Howard University Report. THE NEGRO'S GREAT NEED EDUCATOR SAYS COLORED MEN SHOULD BE TAUGHT SCIENTIFIC FARMING--85 PER CENT. OF RACE FOLLOW AGRICULTURE. Washington, D. C.—Criticism of alleged discrimination toward Indians at the expense of colored citizens is made part of the annual report of Howard university, forwarded to the secretary of the interior by President Thirkleid. He pointed out that for the 250,000 Indians in the United States the government last year spent $1,430,000, while for the 10,000,000 colored persons only $100,000 was appropriated. "Yet colored teachers in the common and high schools," the report continues, "are expected to meet the requirements of the state authorities. To practice medicine the colored man is required to pass the same examination before state boards as the white physicians. So also in other professions and pursuits provision must be made for these 10,000,000 of our colored citizens, else it will mean the blind leading the blind and both falling into the ditch at great cost to society and the state." In order to further emphasize the greater need of aid from the government, Doctor Thirkield, in his report says: "While the Rockefeller fund of a million dollars is available for the eradication of the hookworm disease, yet there is the negro race with tuberculosis, typhoid infection and other diseases wiping out tens of thousands and lowering the vitality and physical efficiency of a race. "At the same time," he continues, "their condition is a positive menace to the white race, with which it is so closely bound up. It is a question of national interest. Here is a race, multitudes of whom are still the prey of the voodoo doctors and conjure men and given to patent nostrums. The pressing need is for the training of men for the instruction of the ignorant and superstitious, men with scientific knowledge and broad views of medicine, men who can put medical knowledge in simple form before the masses and through preventive medicine raise the vitality of a race that is being decimated by disease." Doctor Thirkield adds that the great need of the colored men today is more practical study in matters of agriculture. Nearly 85 per cent. of the population of 10,000,000, he says, are engaged in agricultural pursuits. Yet there is not a single school for colored persons in the United States where agriculture is a specialty. The report shows that 1,672 students attended the Howard university during last year, coming from 37 states and 11 foreign countries. In describing the need for more dormitories he says: "There has been no increase in dormitory accommodations since the original buildings were erected, over forty years ago. Of the nearly 1,500 students in attendance, four-fifths of whom are men, only one in five can be accommodated in present dormitories. "One of the pressing needs of the institution is an assembly hall large enough to at least seat the student body. The only assembly hall of the university, with 1,500 students, is the Rankin Memorial chapel, which was built especially for religious services, and seats only 600." GENERAL LYON SPEAKS OF LIBERIA ADVISES INTENDING EMIGRANTS TO TAKE ALONG PLENTY OF MONEY. Baltimore, Md.—Reed Paige Clark, the new receiver general from Liberia, was commissioned by the president in Washington. The following day he took the oath of office in this city before Dr. Ernest Lyon, consul general to this country for Liberia. As a receiver general Mr. Clark will have charge of the collection of Liberian customs, which amounts to about $300,000 a year. The Liberian government recently floated a loan of $1,500,000, and will probably devolve upon Mr. Clark to arrange for the payment of this loan, when due. His salary will be $5,000 a year. Consul General Lyon, who spent eight years in Liberia as American minister, is thoroughly conversant with the needs of the little republic, and predicts a bright future for it. "Along with Mr. Walker," said Mr. Lyon, "I would advise those who wish to emigrate to Liberia to take along some capital, as it is largely an undeveloped country, and money, along with initiation and push is needed there. I stand ready to advise anyone who desires to go there to live. Late advices to me state that the people of that country are preparing to make the inauguration of Daniel Howard as president a big occasion in January. All elements of the population, even the aborigines, will be represented at the ceremonies. He is head of the True Whig party and a most promising future now looms up for Liberia." PRESENTS DEEDS TO CHURCH WILLIAM W. SMITH, NOTED PHILANTHROPIST OF POUGHKEEPSIE, MAKES GIFT TO COLORED CITIZENS—DEDICATION EXERCISES NOTABLE—MR. SMITH IS PRAISED AND IS VISIBLY AFFECTED. Poughkeepsie, N. Y.—It was a big day for the members of the New Zion church when the handsome brick and cement building, located at Cottage and Smith streets, was formally dedicated, on which occasion the deeds, covering both ground and edifice, were handed over to the congregation by the donor, William W. Smith, the noted philanthropist of Poughkeepsie. Accompanying Mr. Smith were his wife, son and grandson, and many of the girls from his establishment on Market street. During the service he appeared visibly affected by the sincerity of the homage paid him, and particularly by the ovation tendered him at the close of the services, when it became impossible for him to leave the church for some time, so expressive were those in the audience in their desire to thank him individually for what he had done for the colored citizens of Poughkeepsie. The little church, which is a two-story brick structure surmounted by belfry, was packed to the doors, and many well known business men of Poughkeepsie were present. The dedicatory sermon was delivered by Rev. L. G. Mason, P. E., who selected as his text for the occasion, "Upon This Rock I Build My Church." It was a strong and forceful sermon reaching the hearts of the people. Following the offertory, when over $100 was collected, the Hon. W. W. Smith, ascending the platforma of the church which he was to present to the small, but enthusiastic congregation, in a short though impressive address, congratulated the colored people of Poughkeepsie upon the successful culmination of the years of labor leading up to the present dedication. He said he had followed the rising fortunes of the old church from its very inception, through its many vicissitudes, until the time arrived to erect a new church when, feeling that he owed something to the colored people of Poughkeepsie he remarked to the pastor if he would consult with an architect and later make known what he wished done, he (Mr. Smith) would assist the church in the furtherance of their plans. With high compliments to the present pastor for his zeal and personal interest in the church's welfare, Mr. Smith presented the deed of the property, free and clear of all encumbrances, with the hope that the edifice would be used for the advancement of the colored race and the spreading of the Kingdom of God in this world. In concluding his remarks Mr. Smith said that it was his earnest desire that the young people take an interest in the church and make it a gathering place and their guide towards nurer and more noble lives. Responding to this hearty appeal for the interest of the race in furtherance of religious devotion, Rev. Benjamin Judd pronounced the donor, William W. Smith, as among the greatest men he had ever met—not alone on account of his bigness of heart and generous spirit of philanthropy, but because of his inherent love of fellowman. He said that he found W. W. Smith pre-eminently a man among men, willing at all times to put aside personal prejudice and meet all men upon an equal footing. Never had he visited the residence or business establishment of Mr. Smith, said Rev. Judd, when he had been denied an interview, nor had any benefits been solicited from him that were not more generously compiled with than the mere request had urged. Never was he tired of helping a worthy cause and sufficiently high tribute could not be voiced in words expressing the appreciation of those benefited by the magnanimous gift just presented to them. Upon the subsidence of applause greeting the completion of these remarks, the Hon. John C. Dancy, formerly recorder of deeds for the government at Washington, arose, and on behalf of the colored people present introduced a public resolution of thanks to the donor, which the congregation voiced unanimously by a standing vote. INCREASE AT WILBERFORCE. Wilberforce, O.—There has been a very large increase of students this year at Wilberforce university. The new dormitory for girls on the college grounds is now in course of erection; another has just been completed for the senior girls on the state side. Professor Finch, who has lately returned from London, where he attended the International Race congress as a delegate, addressed the Y. M. C. A. in their new quarters recently. $10,000 MORE FOR TUSKEGEE. Tuskegee, Ala.—The Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, of which Booker T.
