THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY NEGRO PROTEST LEAGUE Discussion on the Lynching Evil. The President can do little more than Sympathize with a Sentiment that Seeks to Suppress it. Lynching Evil must be dealt with by States. VOL. XVIII. NEGRO TESTI Discussion on the Lynching little more than sympathi Seeks to Suppress it. dealt with Under the caption "A Negro Protest League," the Houston Post says: There is a Negro league, located in protest against the lynching of members of the Negro race, and the dispatchers tell us that it is the purpose of the organization to invade Washington next spring 5,000 strong for the purpose of demanding that President Taft put an end to lynching. We could fervently hope that such a mission might be entirely successful, as the lynching evil in the United States has become almost intolerable. As it is, however, there seems to be nothing in sight for this movement save considerable annoyance for the President. The lynching evil must be dealt with by states. Lynching is murder and an offense against the laws of the state wherein it is committed, and the President can do little more than sympathize with a sentiment that seeks to suppress it. "It occurs to the Post, however, that the Negro protest league of the North is about one of the most useless organizations in the country, so far as the protection of the Negroes is concerned. The members of this league are men and women of more or less education, but what are they doing for the uplift of the race to which they belong? For the most part they were schooled at public expense, and yet they recognize no obliga- tion to use their time or talents for the benefit of the vast mass of black ignorance in the South. They selfishly flock together in the Northern cities and leave the millions of Nergoes who have lacked equal opportunities to grope as best they may out of the bondage of ignorance and crime. "Negro education is backward in the Southern States because the school funds available for the education of Negro children are not used for them. One reason why this is so is that there is a stupendous lack of Negro teachers. Negroes who by reason of their education and opportunities might teach Negro schools in the South do not like to associate with the poorer and more ignorant and shiftless members by doing something foolish, just as this protest league is doing. --- Every Negro of education in the country ought to be at work in the South aiding the faithful few who are trying to improve the conditions among the Negro masses. The opportunity for service in this respect is almost without limit, and yet it is an opportunity that is for the most part wasted. There are in Texas probably 150,000 Negro children of school age, and there is nearly $1,000,000 a year available for their instruction. Three-fifths of this sum is probably diverted to the education of white children because it is impossible to get the Negro parents to send their children to school. Here is so much opportunity lost. "We mention the matter to show that one of the best ways to combat the lynching evils is to reduce crime and ignorance among the Negroes themselves. We do not mean to say that the effort to surpass lynching should end there, but that the field for fruitful effort in that direction is almost without limit. The intelligent Negroes who are flocking to the North to escape contact with the humble and ignorant members of their race are shirking a duty which would mean much if it were faithfully performed." A Credit to His Race. Gordon Isham, an East Tennessee Negro farmer, raised 187 hogs this year which averaged 380 pounds in weight and were the best marketed so far this year at Morristown. Isham realized $4,618.90 from his hogs at the wholesale price of 61/2 cents a pound. It is safe to bet that Negro has no trouble with his white neighbors. It is also safe to bet that he enjoys the respect of everyone of them. A man who raises corn enough to fatten that many hogs hasn't any time to get into trouble. And now, that his hogs are marketed, he is doubtless busy fixing up his fences, repairing his sheds, caring for his cattle, fertilizing his land and preparing for next year's crops. He has learned the secret of thrift and happiness. Work has solved the life problem with him, and it lies within the reach of thousands of other Negroes to make similar successes, if they will but resist the lure of idleness and shiftiesness and devote themselves to a fixed task with a white man's constancy.—Nashville Tennessee. BILLINGS MONT. NOTES. Charles Overman and Mrs. Lula Brice late of Kansas City, Mo., were married December 7th. They are at home to their friends at 103 South 25th street.

ALBUQUERQUE NEWS. The New Year of 1912 in Albuquerque finds the Negro which is about 300 in population in a prosperous condition. Up to the present time New Mexico has never had a Negro lynching or a burning at the stake. Our Governors have fearless in preventing such lawlessness, and the Negro has done his part in trying to become a good law abiding citizen. In business we are making some headway. We have five clerks and carriers in our local post office; Green Watson, jailer and J. W. Ward, City Pound Master, rooming houses, restaurants, barbershops and pool rooms, two nice churches, an A. M. E. church and Mt. Olive Baptist church, a Masonic Lodge, and an Eastern Star chapter and K. of P. Lodge, which are doing nicely. We have agitated the necessity of buying homes among our people to such an extent, that only a few among us have not bought or beginning to purchase their own homes. H. Bramlett, D. Austin, John Collins and C. H. Conner are among those who have taken up government homestead claims, within a few miles of the city. Hence the Negroes in our city are doing well and we welcome all good Negroes. The Eureka Lodge No. 19 A. F. & A. M. gave a grand Christmas literary entertainment at their hall last Friday evening. The program was well rendered. The address by the W. M., T. O. Mason, the paper by E. A. Williams were well received. Mrs. Wm. Pettis, the Black Patti of Albuquerque was at her best, and her fine voice was the best selection on the program. The largest crowd of the season was in attendance. Mr. Green Watson, the city jailer and Mrs. Beatrice Morris were quietly married in the presence of a few friends by Rev. M. Jones. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES The Rev. B. C.

F. L. Martin and John Coombs, the latter a wealthy oil operator of Bartlesville, Okla., are also charged with conspiracy in the case, the alleged motive having been a desire to secure possession of oil land owned by the Sell children and valued at $25,000.

Philadelphia, Pa., Dec. 27.—Dressed in bright colored shawls and wearing high turbans on their heads, two colored women, genuine Instances of loyal and efficient service performed by Afro-Americans in the federal, state and municipal government are constantly being brought to light. Much satisfaction is being expressed by the friends of William H. Nicholson, who was retired from the fire department in Brooklyn on Dec 8 on a pension of $700 per annum. Mr. Nicholson was appointed to the department Dec. 7, 1890. --- Baltimore, Md., December 27. A petition for receivers for the Grand Fountain of True Reformers has been entered in the Circuit Court by a number of beneficiaries on death-benefit policies. Judge Heuisler has signed an order requiring that the defendants show cause on Saturday of next week why a receiver should not be appointed. The Grand Fountain is said to owe nearly $10,000 in death claims in Maryland alone, and besides the state headquarters of the order at 310 St. Paul street, heavily mortgaged. Suit for receivers has been in the air since Jas. H. Nutt was removed as chief of the Maryland division several weeks ago. The federal and state courts at Richmond, Va., recently turned down applications for receivers that were made by folks to whom the order was indebted. Muskogee, Okla., December 26.

F. L. Martin and John Coombs, the latter a wealthy oil operator of Bartlesville, Okla., are also charged with conspiracy in the case, the alleged motive having been a desire to secure possession of oil land owned by the Sell children and valued at $25,000.

Dressed in bright colored shawls and wearing high turbans on their heads, two colored women, genuine Africans, are attracting much attention in the vicinity of Tenth and Lombard streets. Their names are Akwadre Otto, wife of Mensh Otto, of 911 Lombard street and her sister, Leovadre Cebillah. Aside from their peculiar dress, the faces of both women are badly scarred, which were placed there by their parents, and are called "Family Marks." The women are from Dahomey, on the west coast of Africa, and arrived in the city Wednesday afternoon on the steamship Merion. The husdand is the only one who can speak English, the others merely make a peculiar sound when they converse with each other. They saw their first Christmas tree upon their arrival here and were very much impressed. "The daugter's of the Dark Continent" attract attention wherever they go. New Orleans, La., Nov. 3.—The story that Ben Johnson, who was shot down Wednesday on the Algiers ferry boat was iusane is untrue, says the special correspondent to the Chicago Defender. "I was on deck at the time and saw the whole affair. Ben Johnson, a neatly dressed property owner of this state, was sitting on the upper deck of the Algiers ferry boat among the white passengers. Several of the men went to him and ordered him down in the lower deck by dealing him several kicks. Then he resisted and drew a revolver. Some of the white men seized an iron rod and rushed at him the second time, then Johnson fired. Several white men fell. After he emptied his gun, the crowd rushed in on him again before he could reload; he began to use his empty gun as a club, wounding several. In the midst of the first, several shots were fired into his body by the mob on board.

Efficlency of Hitchcock's Management of the Post Office Department Attacked by the A. N. P. A. Washington—The A. N. P. A, through its postal committee of which Don. ©, Seitz of New York is chair. man, has joined in the fight against the proposed increase in second-class rates and in its last bulletin the com- mittee attacks the management of the post office department. The bulletin is as follows: “The extent to which the post office department does not carry sec: ond-class matter is well revealed in the following abstract of inquiry of publishers conducted by house com mittee on expenditures in the post office department (William A. Ash- brook, chairman) concerning the vol- ume, weight and handling of the out- put of publications entered as mail matter of the second-class for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1911: “Inquiry was made of all publish: ers, approximating thirty thousand, of which nearly seventeen thousand are weekly publications. “‘More than ten thousand returns were recelved, embracing sixty-six plus per cent. of all tonnage of pub- ications. “The publications reporting repre sent an annual output of more than six and one-half billion copies, the weight of which was one and three quarter billion pounds. “These publications delivered by mail in such period weighed 633,012, 902 pounds. “They delivered by their own car riers, newsboys, and news companies $40,466,574 pounds, of which an unas. certained percentage was carried to destination by express and other rail shipments outside the mail. They de livered by express, 202,729,510 pounds, and by other rail shipments 121,491, 748 pounds. The rate by express and rail varies from % to 1 cent per pound, but the bulk of these ship ments went at a rate of %4 to % cent per pound. “Phe post office for the year end: ing June 30, 1911, handled 951,001, 669, and excluding one-half million pounds free in county matter, it re- ceived one cent per pound.’ “All this goes to add to the ab- surdity of the proposed Hitchcock leg- islation doubling the second-class rate from one to two cents per pound, and Mmiting the ‘privilege’ to publications that carry as much reading matter as they do advertising. “The proposition was stupid enough when the postal deficit reached $17, 000,000 two years ago. It becomes preposterous in face of a surplus. “What business has a transporta- tion corporation, which {s all the post office is, to prescribe how a business shall be conducted? “Newspapers cannot afford to ex- pand their columns beyond the call of the day's news, nor can they be expected to control the requirements of their advertisers who have a right to reach the public as copiously as they care to. “It cannot be assumed that such legislation will ever get by congress.

Sectional leadership is one of the dangers menacing the welfare and the advancement of the Negro. There are a number of men and women scattered over the state who have been blessed with intellect, but, unfortunately, overbalanced with egotism, who are continually striving to spring some desperate idea or movement affecting the race and its struggles, which will, for once, at least, startle somebody and draw attention to its projectors. Such are those who advise desperate measures in retaliation for conditions that arise in the city; those who advocate the protection of the individual charged with crime, regardless of his guilt; and those who would annihilate prominent members of the race who do not choose to be identified with every doubtful project inaugurated in the name of the race. Every man should be allowed to go about his business in his own way; and when it comes to the business of the public or the race, the last man to be followed or trusted is the one who would pass censure upon others greater than himself, because they cannot bring their superior talents and achievements down to his level of sensational conceit.

The idlers and hangers-on, the gamsters and tough young sp Throughout the entire development of humanity's complex social order, no provision has been made for the elder, the loafer, the drone. Outside of human experience, where, we often are compelled to look for practical examples, the bee family furnishes a solitary and striking precept when the drone is fallen upon by the hive en masse, and is literally devoured alive. But men tolerate the idler and the loafer because it is humane to do so, and because the charge for his keep is presumed to fall ordinarily upon some of his own relations. This presumption does not hold good in modern experience, because, strangely enough, with the development of society, the loafer has developed also. Despite his natural aversion to productive labor, he thinks occasionally with his head, and it requires but little thought on his part to put himself in touch with the outcroppings of legitimate social conditions. The sporting spirit, the gambling mania, is the great connecting link between society and the loafer, and it is the one great artery through which he systematically sucks his substance. The "natural born" idler, sometimes found in rural districts, and who is the jest of the farmers or of the country village, suffers under, or perhaps, enjoys, some physical affliction, but the highly developed loafer whose habitat is the dives and dens of the modern city, comes nearer to being a perverse criminal, in whose classification society has been altogether too tardy. Honest labor, with hand or brain, is the fundamental social need; it is the system of basic energy upon which all society depends and is developed. It is the true source of all individual success as well as of human progress. Indeed, it is necessary for the natural perpetuation of health and happiness. But just as all other criminals are developed against the moral and social order, so comes the idler, the loafer, the tout, the gambler, in opposition to, and as an enemy of, this fundamental social need. His development is rapid, as it needs to be to entice the lazy. His one ambition is to become a professional gambler. The industrious man who labors steadily throughout the day and week, and who has a tendency to seek the excitement of sporting life at night or at the week's end, becomes the natural, steady prey of the professional gamber. The victim is waited for, badgered, cajoled and enticed; he is lured and encouraged with occasional winnings, but in the end he is robbed. Foolish workingmen, following a false disposition of sporting bravado, consent to become thus the perpetual source of sustenance for idlers, loafers, gamblers and thieves. That the system is criminal there can be no doubt. That legal control should be exercised over all those who contribute to its continuance ought to be apparent. The dive keepers and those who give them protection and support are the chief promoters. The idlers and hangers-on, the loafers, bummers and runners, the indolent gamsters and tough young sports are the apprentices. Mamma. Bookworm—Willie, you come right here and get cleaned.

N 1791 Daniel Webster's father, who was a captain under Gen. John Stark in the Revolutionary war, was made a judge of the local court at a salary of about $350. This success turned his attention to giving his children that which he had irretrievably lost—an education. Such was the genius of the new institutions to which our independence gave rise and so great was the controlling power of the people in political affairs, through the elective franchise, that it was apparent to all thoughtful men that general intelligence among the masses of the people was essential to the healthful working and the perpetuity of the new form of government. Not only therefore did state legislatures and the municipal officers of the various towns give special consideration to educational matters, but men of wealth, under the influence of patriotism, contributed freely of their own private funds for the endowment of schools and colleges. When Daniel Webster was fourteen years of age his father took him to Exeter academy. Daniel's education was determined upon because of the fear that the heavy work of a farmer would be too severe a task for Daniel, who was weakly as a boy, and Daniel was sent to school that, according to the custom of the times, he could teach school in winter and work on the farm, if his health allowed, in the summer. After a year at Exeter he was sent to the school of Rev. Samuel Wood, who prepared boys for college at one dollar a week for tuition and board. It was while on their way to Mr. Wood's that Daniel's father first held out to him the hope of sending him to college, an advantage Daniel had never aspired to in his most ambitious moments. Daniel wept from excessive joy. How different were his feelings from those of many at the present day, who when the privilege of a college education is offered them, regard the proposition as an affliction so great that they cry from sorrow. The golden opportunity they throw away and when too late to repair the disaster deeply regret their folly. You will not always be boys. In a few years you must take your place among men and in order to be qualified to exert much influence over them you must know something. Every boy now in school, every young man now in college is placed in an enviable position; by rightly improving his advantages he will qualify himself to occupy important positions. If you would have your opinions respected, your advice sought, and hope to be looked to to fill places of trust, you must be educated. Who would have supposed that the puny, awkward, backwoods lad, in homespun clothes and rustic manners, who was made the object of ridicule, would astonish mankind with his eloquence, settle through the skillfulness of his diplomacy some of the most difficult problems of international government and attain an eminence immeasurably higher than any official distinction within the gift of the people? It is no more unlikely now that you may acquire distinction than it was in his case when he was of your age. Mere money makers can succeed without education. But money making is not the highest kind of success. The demand for thoroughly trained men today is greater than the supply. The best jobs go begging for the right men to fill them. humanity cries out against the conditions that make such accidents possible. Certain kinds of accidents have occurred in the past that today are impossible because the conditions under which such accidents could occur have been eliminated. The locomotive engineer, when he has a warning signal of danger, is required to have his engine under perfect control. This means that he can proceed only at such speed that when the danger is realized his engine can be brought to almost an instant stop, and this on a private right of way. Why are these life destroying engines allowed to use the crowded public highways at a speed absolutely beyond the control of the operator, and our newspapers publishing the death list of their victims day after day. A speed limit law consistent with safety and the strict enforcement of that law is the only remedy. Some are moved forward to eminence by chance, sickness, accident, death or having kinship with the men they work for, while a more worthy worker is left behind.

Day after day the modern juggernauts sweep through our crowded streets, claiming their human victims without a hand effectually raised in protest. The other day in Chicago a young and talented girl, just budding into womanhood, on her way to the high school where she was soon to finish her work to fit her for life's duties, was suddenly hurled to the pavement and her crushed and bleeding body hardly removed before life was extinct. The coroner's jury exonerated the driver of the automobile. Perhaps the verdict was legally correct. It was an accident.

The great prize of life may come by accident. Shakespeare says: "Fortune brings in some boats that are not steered."

Good positions do not always come by merit, as the result of one's own direct efforts.

NEGRO INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION REVIEWED U. S. Commissioner of Labor Discusses Subject in His Annual Report. DIFFICULTIES ENCOUNTERED SEVERAL INSTITUTIONS HAVE MADE NATIONAL REPUTATION AND ARE PLAYING IMPORTANT PART IN RACE ADJUSTMENT. Washington, D. C.—The United States commissioner of labor, in his annual report on industrial education, just issued, devotes considerable space to the negro industrial schools throughout the country. Speaking of industrial education among negroes generally, he says: "Industrial schools for negroes are almost invariably philanthropic enterprises, and their work is usually hampered by insufficient funds. They have also had to face special difficulties owing to the fact that apprenticeships are practically never open to colored workers and hence their students must receive all their preliminary training before leaving school. "The difficulty negroes find in entering a skilled trade, unless it is one to which they can work independently or as separate groups, limits the scope of their work, and owing to efficient education of a portion of their students much of their instruction must be elementary. As a further difficulty they have had to counteract the prejudices of their own race who have been inclined to look upon clerical, commercial and professional callings as the only ones which could be considered by the ambitious. "In spite of all these difficulties the negro schools have done good work. Several have won for themselves a national reputation and are playing an important part in the adjustment of the race to the new conditions in which emancipation has placed them." The report also devotes several pages to both Tuskegee and Hampton schools and a number of other negro industrial schools throughout the country, including Snow Hill Normal and Industrial school at Snow Hill, Ala., Berean Manual Training and Industrial school at Philadelphia, Watchman Industrial school at Providence, R. L., Alcorn Agricultural and Mechanical college at Alcorn, Miss, State Agricultural and Mechanical college at Normal, Ala., Claflin university at Orangeburg, S. C., and other similar institutions. Four pages of the report are devoted to Armstrong Manual Training school of this city, of which Dr. W. B. Evans is principal. In speaking of this-school the commissioner of labor says: "It is said that graduates from the trade courses of this school are able to hold their own in their respective trades as finished workmen." TEST OF A GOOD ACTOR James Thornton, the monologist, was walking down Broadway one evening when he saw, leaning against a lamp post, an individual who was evidently an actor just off the road. Equally apparent was the fact that the man needed a job or money, says the Popular Magazine. "How do you do, my friend?" greeted Thornton. The stranded actor, recognizing Thornton, spoke to him a trifle sadly. "Need a job?" asked Thornton. "I do—badly." answered the actor. "What have you done?" "A lot of work," explained the other, his face brightening at the prospect of Thornton's taking an interest in him. "I've done all sorts of roles in stock companies." "Ever play the part of a Mexican?" "Oh yes." "Pretty good at it, weren't you?" "Well, if I do say it myself, Mr. Thornton, I think I played the Mexican in fine shape." "That being the case," replied Thornton, handing him tobacco and a cigarette paper, "roll me a cigarette." The man who had made such a hit as a Mexican made a miserable failure of the cigarette. And Thornton, observing this fact, resumed his stroll, leaving the stranded actor still stranded. MONKEYS AND GUM In tropical countries the natives have many unique ways of catching monkeys. One of them, as explained by a traveler, is this: The hunters walk about in short boots in sight of the monkeys. Then they take the boots off, place some gum in the bottoms and leave them on the ground, withdrawing themselves to a great distance. Presently the monkeys come down from the trees and try on the boots, and when the hunters come after them the boots stick to the feet of the monkeys and they are unable to climb. Thus the imitative little animals are captured. "Whifter has bought a very handsome Axminster." "I'm so glad. Maybe he will take me for a ride." "I hardly think so.

THE GREAT VERNON MAKES A HIT IN FLORIDA THE GREAT VERNON MAKES A HIT IN FLORIDA FORMER REGISTER OF UNITED STATES TREASURY ELOQUENTLY ADDRESSED PEOPLE OF JACKSONVILLE. Doctor Vernon came to Jacksonville upon the invitation of the Pastorial council of the East Florida conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church, whose president is Rev. R. T. Gordon, D. D., and whose secretary is Rev. R. L. Brown. Members of this ministerial organization were present, showing a commendable interest in all that was done and said. The rostrum was occupied by the speaker, Doctor Attaway, president of the Edward Waters college; Doctor Gordon, Dr. R. B. Brooker, Dr. C. H. Boger, Dr. J. E. Ford, the new representative, and many other persons of prominence. After appropriate introductory remarks, in which Doctor Gorden told his peculiar experience in bringing to the city the man whose name has been on the tongues of many for the past several weeks, and of how he met this distinguished man while on his vacation last summer, and secured from him an engagement to come to the city of Jacksonville and address the people of this city. Doctor Vernon, in personal appearance, vividly reminds one of the lamented Dr. J. C. Price of North Carolina. Of all other things, he is an agreeable speaker. Discarding manuscript, he came before his audience to speak out of the abundance of his experience, Doctor Vernon spoke wholly on matters that are of prime concern to his race of people. He is no pessimist, painting heaven and earth with all sorts of ugly things, and smearing life's highway all over with the gorge of despondency. The speaker would have his people to know that their's is not unlike the course of all races of mankind that have amounted to anything in this world. To sustain this he traced, with a wonderful faithfulness to real history, man's progress from primeval times. Especially did he deduce the evolution of human freedom, specifying Runemede, Magna Charter, the Declaration of Independence and the Emancipation proclamation. The strange shiftings of civilization, the tortuous course of strivings after the highest, the best, and that which is most enduring, formed no small part of this address, which was frequently punctured with applause. In referring to his race in this country, it was thrilling, the manner in which he told of their having been the burden-bearers both in war and in peace; how at Yorktown black men stood at order arms in Washington's army, while Cornwallis surrendered to the great American general, and how nearly one hundred years after black men stood and died for the Union and their freedom. Inauspicious from Jamestown to the dawn of the better day, the race has found that its greatest need is simply to be left alone. Never traitors in any war in which they took part, never tried on impeachment charges while lawmakers in the halls of congress, and ever loyal to home, after allowed to know really what that word meant. The speaker paid a golden tribute to the church and Christian education, citing the many benefits accruing from these two agencies. His tribute to the fathers of human freedom was truly transporting, individualizing the lamented Frederick Douglas. This powerful lecture found its closing in an appeal to the youths, clinching all that had been said with a masterly appeal to the young to take up what those who have done so well, without the advantages of present day methods. He held up the direful consequences of the boys who live in the streets and have lodging places at home; to girls who do not learn that there is golden opportunity, often, in rags. The speaker, as he approached the conclusion of his discourse, saliently pointed out what struck all as so many places of danger. In doing this he declared that there is no race problem, but there is a human problem. Adjustment, so as to be of actual value, in the solution of this, was another strong point. The relation of duty and rights was vividly brought out, and the conclusion was reached in a broad vein of patriotism that swayed the audience with a captivation as complete as if a religious tidal wave had been set in motion by some of the famous revivalists. Doctor Vernon sat down amid a storm of applause. All were pleased to the point of being jubilant. Hundreds came forward and shook the hand of the speaker fervently. EXECUTIVE ABILITY.

INTERESTING DISCUSSION BEFORE THE TWENTIETH CENTURY CLUB OF TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE. The Twentieth Century club, connected with the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial institute, held its regular monthly meeting in Dorothy hall. Dr. R. E. Park was host and also furnished the discussion of the evening. His subject was: "Some Parallels Between the Race Problem in Poland and in the United States." The Poles, the speaker pointed out, are one branch of the great Slavic race, which with its principal seat in Russia, has projected itself into western Europe, under different names, from the Baltic in the north to the Black sea in the south. Everywhere that this race has come into contact with the peoples of western Europe there has been a racial conflict and almost everywhere the Slavic race has been conquered and oppressed. Dr. Park first sketched the political history of Poland from 1796, when Poland was divided between Russia, Germany and Austria. He then turned to the internal history of the three provinces and showed the manner in which each had developed under the influence of the racial conflict between the different peoples brought together when' Poland was absorbed by its neighbors. Poland's political history has been a hopeless and fatal struggle to gain and retain its national independence. Up to 1830, both in German and Russian Poland, a policy of conciliation was pursued. Russian Poland, for example, was given much greater liberty than any other part of the Russian empire. There was complete freedom of the press and at the same time a very large measure of self-government. But the Polish nobility were not satisfied with anything short of a complete independence and a reunion of the different parts of the ancient republic. In spite of the heroic struggle to maintain national existence the Insurrection of 1830 failed and every subsequent effort in the same direction has only served to make the subjugation of the country more complete. After 1830 the nobles and political leaders emigrated to Paris and there retained a sort of revolutionary junta, which sought to direct political affairs in the different parts of their dismembered country. The policy was to take advantage of the political troubles of Russia, Germany and Austria in order that at the right juncture the Poles might throw themselves into the hands of the country which would promise to aid them in re-establishing their national existence. In all this movement the masses of the people, the peasants, had little or no part. They remained, in a condition not much better than serfdom, on the plantations of the nobility. They were not able to help themselves and every effort that the different governments, particularly Russia and Germany, made to improve their condition was paralyzed by the political intrigues of the nobility, in Paris and elsewhere, whose policy was to sacrifice everything else to the cause of national existence. The situation, Dr. Park said, was something like that in the south after the "carpet-bag government" was expelled and the politicians, who had gone into exile in the north, attempted to control and direct affairs in the south. After the Franco-Prussian war, when it was found that the Polish regiments were perfectly willing to fight against their old allies in France, Bismarck determined to settle the Polish question. He said, "The Poles would be all right if we could get rid of this factious nobility." So he said: "We will appropriate a hundred million marks to buy out this imbeculous Polish nobility and settle good, brave German peasants on the land. In this way we will Germanize the Poles; dispel once for all the dream of a restoration of Poland and in time they will become good Germans." This was the beginning of the modern racial struggle in German Poland, which has had, according to the speaker, a very extraordinary issue. As soon as it was announced that the German government meant to dispossess the Polish nobility of their lands, there was a great outcry. Various plans were suggested for resisting this move. The nobility in other parts of Poland at first proposed to raise money and come to the assistance of every Polish landlord who felt compelled or could not be restrained by patriotic motives from selling their estates. But when it came to the pinch it appeared that the Polish nobility, most of them, had neglected their estates, and were, in any case, poor business men, who could not compete with the Prussian government, and the plan was given up. At the time it occurred to one or two strong, practical men that if the large Polish estates were to be divided up and sold something might be gained if they were divided up and sold among Polish instead of German peasants. So they began establishing little co-operative banks and land companies. Where they found a Polish noble hard pressed they would buy the estate themselves. In this way the land remained at least in the hands of the Polish people and they were not made aliens on their native soil. At other times they would purchase a portion of an estate that was run down or mortgaged. This would give the Polish noble enough to pay his debts and still enable him to retain the greater portion of his lands. Very soon there was a net-work of these banks all over the country with a controlling bank at Posen. Very soon all of German Poland was stirred with a land speculation of great dimensions. The masses of the Polish peasants had been land hungry ever since they were emancipated and now they were not only given a motive for getting land, but it became a patriotic thing to do. For the first time Polish peasant began to have some share in the life of the people. In fact, it was no longer the spendthrift, idle, intriguing, political noble who was to have the Polish nation, but the humble, thrifty and despised peasant. And when it came to a contest with the powerful Prussian government it appeared that the Polish peasant was tough enough and thrifty enough to make a good fight. In fact, it is now clear that the government's policy has failed. In the first place the Polish peasant was willing and able to live cheaper and work harder than the German peasant who sought to displace him. He was therefore able to bid higher for the land. The result was the price of land went booming. The government had to bid higher and higher for the land they purchased. The millions of money which poured into the country tended to enrich the Polish landlords. Lands which came into the hands of German peasants presently found their way back to the hardier and thriftier Pole. Sometimes the German peasant would even conlive with the German landowner to match the government. Agriculture revived, trade increased, the whole country began to prosper. German banks began quietly putting their money into the hands of Polish banks for investment. The Polish people ceased talking about insurrection, or they talked about it very softly. They were all intent upon the industrial and economic struggle. While the government was opposing them, private enterprise was encouraging them. The result has been that, while the government's land policy failed and while there has been a great deal of irritation because of the efforts of the German government to impose their language on the Polish people, the Polish people are now more bound up with the German people than they ever were before. They still keep up the struggle for nationality, but it is very doubtful if the masses of the Polish people would accept a United Poland if it was offered to them. The masses of the people, who are now prosperous and thrifty, would not want to put themselves under the control of the sentimental and impractical nobility of their own race again. Meanwhile the history of the other divisions of Poland have been very different. While German Poland has become a prosperous agricultural community, Russian Poland has become one of the great manufacturing centers of Europe. It has been able to become this because it is protected by the Russian tariff and has the whole vast Russian empire for its market. If Poland were reunited all this agricultural and commercial property would be destroyed, because both German and Russian Poland would lose their respective markets. On the other hand, in Austrian Poland where the Polish nobility has had a free hand in the government of the province, where they have had their own language and their own university, and the racial struggle has been rather between the Poles and the Ruthenians, their conditions are pretty much as they were. The peasants have made some progress in recent times, but it has not been due to the influence of the nobility, but rather to the influence of returned emigrants from America. The point which the speaker tried to make was that the struggle over the language question in Europe, and the struggle for political rights, were at bottom the same; that when you got down to the bottom you saw that it was the struggle of the race at the bottom to rise, to win self-respect and freedom of action, against a race jealous of its privileges and determined to maintain its place at the top. THE PRESIDENT ON PEACE. President Taft cannot be so discouraged as the newspapers affirm about the reception of his arbitration treaties. Here is what he says in the December World's Work on the subject: "Yes, this sentiment, comparatively new in the world, has made enormous strides within the past few years. Wherever I go I find the most eager interest in anything I say on the subject of war and peace. Crowds grow silent as I approach that theme; men put a hand behind the ear and stand on tiptoe leaning forward so as not to miss a word. There is astir a profound revolution in the popular thought on the subject of wars, a moral awakening to the hideous wickedness of armed combat between man and man, and an economic perception of the wastefulness and folly not only of war but of the great armaments which the present jealousy of the powers makes it necessary to maintain.

LET'S MAKE THIS YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD STORE AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS The United Ministerial alliance of the city of New Orleans, by a resolution offered by the Rev. S. J. Channell, denounced the action of the New York court in releasing Ulrich, the culprit who assaulted Dr. Booker T. Washington in the city of New York several months ago. This alliance is interdenominational and is composed of ministers from all of the colored churches of New Orleans, and has an enrollment of more than one hundred ministers. They expressed the greatest confidence in Dr. Washington, declaring that Ulrich should have been fully punished for his wanton attack on the educator. The meeting was held at the Young Men's Christian Association hall, the Rev. John Marks presiding. The cruel winds of the north have come in, and the cotton pickers are coming from every point, with no more than they had before they left, when the days were warm and pleasant. If you are not profiting by leaving home to go on cotton picks, the best route to protect yourselves is to stay at home. The lay preacher, as he is known in England, should have greater encouragement in our own church. We have in mind several talented Christian young men who could be of greater service in the communities where they reside if they would aspire to the place of a lay preacher.—Philadelphia Missionary Seer. The aroused attitud of the Southern church to its duties and possibilities in the training of the colored people is a hopeful sign. Some of the most significant work in relation to the Negro question today is being done in the Young Men's Christian associations and other organizations in white Southern colleges by well-trained, broad-minded, Christian young men. And the following from the Louisville Courier-Journal is suggestive of the attitude of the best Southern press: "The whites cannot prosper if the blacks languish. We are, whites and blacks, in the same boat, and we must sit fair and row steady if we expect to be happy and to make progress." Concrete examples of progress are not wanting. Better supervision for all the schools is rapidly coming to the South. In Virginia a special state supervisor of colored schools as an assistant to the superintendent of public instruction has been appointed. And already the helpful influence of his work is being felt in colored schools all over the state. In many sections school authorities are seeking how to increase the interest of both the white and colored people in the Negro schools. And, almost invariably, wherever the colored people come with substantial contributions towards the betterment of their schools, the school officials and private white citizens have met them with extra appropriations and helpful contributions. At Harrisonburg, in Virginia, for example, the colored people have raised some $400 for their school during the last two years. The city has increased the number of teachers from three to five, and is now erecting a $10,000 school house for the colored people.—W. T. B. Williams in the Southern Workman. It is understood that the farmer who farms for a living should raise enough foodstuff for his own consumption, and not wait on other progressive farmers for it; but many of our farmers have failed to follow or practice this method. Some have raised nothing. Most of our farmers in East Texas plant three-fourths of their lands in cotton and the other fourth in corn and a few cowpeas. Looking at this, he plants less eatables and more non-eatables. When cotton is ready for the market, the farmer has spent eight or nine months in cultivating and gathering the staple; most times holding it several months for prices. Then you will go to your neighbor or to the city, borrow money to get supplies. Suppose you planted truck and several acres of stock feed and provender, then you could plant several crops of truck on the same land within four or five months, and sell your produce throughout the season at good prices, making a fair profit amounting to about twice that of cotton. Plant some cotton and use the truck money in the summer when times are usually hard with the farmer; then he is not wholly dependent upon his cotton. The great truck campaign is on in Anderson county and the farmers who live near the city will miss it if they do not plant some truck. Truck brings good prices throughout the season. Every farmer should plant three or four acres.—Palestine Plaindealer. The negro race has amid its great mass more moral teachers, according to its growth and advancement, than any other race. Every third person met is an advisor or an exhorter of some kind; but the main fault of the great number of these teachers of righteousness and goodness is, they do not practice what they teach, and this practice has hurt more professional people and race advisors, as well as the masses, than any other pretended practice. Men of the professions and leaders of the people, be careful that you are sincere and follow what you teach; otherwise fall out of line and let the right man enter who will do the right thing. Our people have been made scrutinizers and ridiculers of our leading men who have not lived up to their doctrines. Keep your light of advocacy ever bright that it may shine before your people, undaunted, unblemshed.—Palestine Plaindealer. A New Orleans paper takes great pains to point out the destruability of giving the negro a square deal and refers to many disabilities under which the negro labors in the south and nation. Some injustice may be expected under the circumstances. When it comes to the courts it is better that the negro stay out of them. The sooner the negro learns how to attend to his business and to avoid clashes with any and everybody the sooner he will learn the lesson which present unfavorable conditions are designed to teach. The point is not to be concerned too much about the privileges that are denied and to be concerned about the right use of those which are retained. Provide for a rainy day by taking out an insurance policy in a reliable company. The prudent man looketh ahead and safeguards his family against want, in the event that death or misfortune overtakes him.—Washington National Union.

It is more important, more interesting to you than that given by the paper or magazine from the outside world. It is the first reading matter you should buy. Each issue of this paper gives to you just what you will consider The Right Kind of Reading Matter SERMON Sermons preached by two young brothers of Mount Canon Baptist Church, Lincoln County, Okla., April 1911 and enlarged on by Rev. B. McCall. Text: "Whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap." Galatians, 6th chapter and 7th verse. Now Paul had been advising the brethren of the Church at Galatian how to live as followers of Christ in spirit. How to help each other spiritually. How the Church should live so as to fulfill the law of Christ. He advised them that if they found a fellow brother that they should try to help him up again in a spirit of meekness. See: Gal. 6 and 7. The Apostle wanted to make the impression on the Church that it was their duty to love, help and care for each other. See: Gal. 6 and 2. He also warned them of the danger of getting lifted too high up in self. He tells them to put their haughty spirit to a test, or to prove them by the spirit of Christ. See: Gal. 6 and 4. The Apostle knowing that there was critics in the land just as as there are today. Some that say that they are as good as most of the Church members; so the Apostle tells them that everyone must stand for himself or bear his own burden. Now Paul seeing the evil tendency of some of the members of the Church to backsliding, holding to the world in heart and to God in thought, giving to the world the choice fatling of the flock and to God the lame and halt. No doubt but Paul began to wonder if a man would rob God or would a professed follower of Christ rob God, Yes, they do rob God in tithes and offerings. See Malachi 3.8. Oh! how many of the so called messengers of Christ are robbing God today. How many are giving the greater part of their time, money and talent to the worldly institutions that were created by the world for the purpose of hindering the progress of the Church. The world gets the honor and God and His Church are robbed of it. No wonder Paul's soul was moved in pity and he warns them in the language of our text. "Be not deceived, God is not mocked, for what a man soweth that shall he reap," in other words he meant that you need not think that you were fooling God for He sees all that you do and he knows where your treasures are and that your heart is there also. See Matthew 6 27, and if you think you are fooling or mocking Him you are deceiving yourself. What you sow that you shall reap. The people were acquainted with sowing and reaping of grain and other products of the land. No one would sow oats and expect to gather corn, or sow barley and look for sugar cane. If you sow turnip seed you expect to reap what you sowed; and also spiritually you may expect to reap what you sow. Whatsoever a man or Church soweth that shall they also reap. They that soweth to the flesh or world shall reap corruption or punishment, and they that soweth to the spirit or according to God's word shall reap or obtain life everlasting. Now, we of the Church of God, all of us, are sowing seeds of some kind as we pass through life. Our influence is either for good or for evil, for God or for the devil, and dear friends that seed is taking root now and soon will bring forth fruit. Brethren and sisters God knows your heart. How have you been sowing; are you living holy to God or are you dividing your time with the world. Now if we have been idle on the way let us call a halt today and get on that highway that is called Zion, where the unclean cannot pass over. Whatever we sow we shall surely reap; sow the fashions of this world and you will reap vanity of heart; sow amusement parties and reap dancing; sow tattlers and reap liars; sow cards and dice and you will reap gamblers; sow whisky and you will reap fools and drunkards; sow secret orders and you will reap the unfruitful works of darkness See Eph. 5-11. Make good order members and you will reap luke warm church members. Rev. 3-16. Oh! my christian friends hearken, the devil has always been offering inducements along the road of life to trap God's people; he caught Adam in one of his traps. He failed to get Christ although he read the gospel to Him. See Matt 4 6 Daniel would not defile himself with the idols of Babylon. Oh! children, God is calling you today; listen to Him; come out from them. See 2nd Cor. 6-16 18. If we live with this world we will die with it. The closer we are to the world, the further we are from God. The more time and support that we give to the world, the less we have for the Church. What we sow that shall we reap Leave the elements of the flesh for we all have a crown of glory laid up in heaven for us and if we prove faithful in sowing to the spirit until death, God the righteous judge will place them on our heads, and we will obtain them if we faint not. Oh! bless God for His eyes are over the righteous and He hears their cries. The poor man Lazarus, had not the fashions and pride of the worldly, although bless God he was rich in grace and sowed to the spirit and the last we heard of him he was resting on the bosom of Abraham. Now, on the other hand, the rich man had plenty of this world's goods; he lived and moved as the world would have him; he sowed to the world and the last we heard of him he was calling for water in hell. Now, my sinner friends I will serve warning on you. You may expect to reap what you sow, for you must meet God in judgment and you like Capernam must come down. See Luke 10-15. To the professed Christians who have gone so far off into the world let them return to God who still loves us all. Oh! just listen to His call of love. "Come to me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest." If you have joined the worldly He still loves you. Oh! listen to His call. Christ will not forget your labors, for He says: "Behold I come quickly to reward every man according to his works." Whatsoever we sow that shall we also reap. Amen.

Photo by Underwood & Underwood, N. Y. Excellent Suggestion for Linen Shower That Will Be Out of the Ordinary—For Place Cards. A charming idea for a linen shower is to carry it out in Japanese fashion with the colors of the cherry blossom as the decorative scheme. If the luncheon is designed, darken the room and hang numbers of Chinese lanterns about. These may be suspended from red and green cords festooned around the walls, and candles for the table may be in green, with the rosy color for the shades. Carnations, or better still the cherry blossoms themselves, so beautifully made now in paper, can be the flower, and placing some of the branches in crystal bowls and vases, just a few in each, gives a pretty effect. Tall screens covered with the blossoms may be placed about wherever most effective, forming alcoves and cozy corners. Have the parcels of linen wrapped in rose paper and tied with green ribbons. A girl friend wearing a kimono in the two colors may bring in the packages, handing them to the bride-to-be, or placing them on a large tray ready for the purpose, where the laughing recipient may open and display the contents to those present. Place cards may be tiny fans with Japanese heads pasted on them. Large Rug Muffs Eclipse Owners. Some of the stoles and muffs that are being carried on cold days are so huge that they fairly eclipse a slip of a girl entirely. With the skirt and coat made as slim as the physical proportion of a slender girl can stand and then the addition of nuge neckpiece and muff, to say nothing of an all-eclipsing hat, a girl is completely lost. Twenty years ago she could never have carried the big muffs and neckpieces made of long-haired furs that are fashionable now without bending under their weight. But the furrier has looked out for that, and the biggest muff weighs scarcely as much now as the little old-timer did. One thing is practical about these giant muffs. No one's arms are going to suffer with cold while they have such a shelter. The best of these muffs completely envelop the arms to the elbows, and the muff itself covers the lap like a robe. Citoyenne Jumpers Ogilvieon jumpers. The persistency with which the little basque effects shown in the peplums and frills to be used outside of the skirt have been brought to the front indicates that they have taken quite a strong hold. Jumpers are now brought out with this frill finish and are usually made of messaeline or soft finished silk. They are cut on surplice lines, the model underneath appearing uncovered to the waist line both back and front. The edges are finished off with a narrow puffing.—Dry Goods Economist. MADE OF SEAL PLUSH. THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY A genuine sealskin coat is handsome, no matter how shapeless it is, but the seal plush coat must be faultless and elegant in line to possess distinction. This coat is exceedingly smart and graceful, though the material is the comparatively inexpensive brown seal plush and the collar and cuffs are of oppossum—also an inexpensive fur. Like all these coats, this model closes far over toward the left hip and is quite straight from hip to ankle. Home-Made Dress Box There are shirt waist boxes galore, innumerable dress chests and many improvised receptacles for us in the woman's room, but the latest novelty is the result of an ingenious brain, which conceived the possibilities of having a dress box, full length, to match the hardwood floor in her room. A cheap frame was constructed of pine, lined throughout with white oilcloth, the edge glued on the outside. This was covered with linoleum, a clever imitation of oak, in two shades. It was glued to the outside and the raw edges were covered with tan leather strips, held in place with brass studs. The hinges and lock were of brass. Two stout straps were tacked to the inside of the lid, making a good receptacle for holding two parasols. Ball-bearing casters completed the dress box, and the owner paid much less for this treasure than a fancy one would cost at any store. A first-class Mortuary establishment.
