THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY VOL. XVIII. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 17 1912. NO 23 Conditions Among Negroes He who would be free must Himself strike the first blow." Is the key note which must be remedied by the Negro Himself, Says Richard Carroll, in the Detroit Leader. This quotation, "He who would be free must himself strike the first blow," is peculiarly adapted to what I desire to say here and now. Listen: The Negro is not wholly without blame for much of the undesirable conditions which have prevailed and do now prevail against him. My observation is and has been that lawlessness is not decreasing among the race, but that crimes, in both guanity and quality, continue to grow. For instance: Whisky is being sold by Negroes, not in the towns only, but in their homes on the public highways, on railroad trains, and in country districts, around about, and even at the very door of the church itself. In some places it has gotten to be no uncommon thing for drunken Negroes to be seen on "preaching day" at the churches. Gambling, too, is on the increase to an extent at once alarming. And in Columbia—and what is true of Columbia is equally true of all the cities and larger towns—and even in some country places—there are able bodied men, not a few, who have no visible means of support, and who do not perform any labor from January to January in every year. They get their living by their wits or the labor of some poor misguided woman or women or by means of both. And as unreasonable as it may seem, there are women who seem by their actions, to rejoice in the fact that they are chosen and counted worthy to work for and support such perversions of humanity, often miscalled men. Then, again: In our cities and towns, the houses of ill-repute in which Negro women and girls are inmates daily increase. Two many are yearly leaving the quiet country homes and the labor of the farms for the alluring gaiety of town life and seek to evade exertion of their bodies by the degradation of their souls and their bodies. It is from among the above mentioned classes and conditions that the army of petty thieves and a great host of vagrants are recruited And from among these undesirable classes and out of the very midst of such conditions come they who make assaults upon and perpetu- ate outrages on womanhood. They constitute a vertible millstone around the neck of the race and is also the chief hindrance to its progress. The Negro press and the Negro preacher are not wholly without blame for existing conditions. The Negro press, on the whole, is cowardly and seekers of applause. The time and space which should be given to the saying of the thing needful are used most often in playing to galleries. The Negro press will often howl long and loud over some Negro lynched and at the same time remain perfectly dumb in regard to the crime which provoked the lawlessness of lynching. They have anathemas in plenty for the white sinners, but no word of condemnation for the act of the black sinner. And I cannot resist the temptation to believe that if our newspapers would harp more often on the cause or excuse of white lynchers for their acts and seek to make odious the whisky vender, the gambler and the loafer—the classes which furnish the victims and excuse for lynchings—I am inclined to believe, I was about to say that lynchings would soon be as they ought to be, things of the past. And the Negro ministry is not as stalwart in its opposition to crime as it was twenty years ago. There are too many roving ones and, too many preachers with easy and accommodating standards of morals. Were I to say that all of the Negro preachers were such as I have mentioned, I would be guilty of uttering a libelous untruth and giving expression to a gross and damaging falsehood. So I do not and will not say that they all, as a class, are thus guilty. For there are today some of as fine God-fearing, self sacrificing Negro preacher—and I personally know them—as any of whom Christianity could boast, even in the Apostolic age. But the simple truth compels me to admit that such preachers among the Negroes, are not in the majority, and their number is not increasing as rapidly as is to be desired. The majority of the Negro preachers, like the majority of Negro editors, can see the beam in the eye of the white race but fail to see the steamboat in the eye of their own race. The Negro preachers have used up too much time in denouncing the lawlessness of white people when there were no white people present to hear it. Progress is greatly impeded when the wrong shoe is on the wrong foot. So it has been in the above cited case. Because white preachers preach to white people and Negro preachers preach to Negro people they, each in his place, ought to give much attention to "the Sermon on the Mount" where it says "first cast the beam out of thine own eye." The majority of the Negro peachers, as a rule, are not practical enough any way. They delight to preach too often and fully about heaven, the habits of angels and the amusements of the inhabitants up yonder—things about which they know exceeding little and, for the present at least, concern them and their hearers infinitely less—while they ignore the affairs of earth, the habits of their audience and the inhabitants around who are unreached by church influences. There are preachers who will preach long and loud and much against circus-going, dancing and like amusements—because these things take money from the church while graver wrongs are ignored if the doers of them are good financially. And too often the quality of a crime is greatly lessened if a Negro be the criminal. There is too much of "my race, right or wrong. I am with my race." I do not pose as a "high priest" for my race. I am fully satisfied merely to be counted one of them. But I do take the liberty to assert that it is not enough for us to curb and control the tendencies to crime and lawlessness among our people. To do this we must preach a doctrin which will reach the life, heart and better nature of the people. Real missionary work must be done—not merely the work of a salaried financial agent—but real missionary work. To such there must be the courage of Moses, of Joshua and of Paul. Instead of shielding or condoning crimes committed by Negroes, we should and must be willing helpers in bringing them to justice. In this way, and this way only—will we lead, or rather force the white man to respect and enforce the laws of which he is the author, and at present, the only one who can administer them. I believe that the separation of the two races in the South at the present time will be harmful to the white race and none the less so to the Negro. To separate them will evidently interfere with "the Divine Plan." Under the circumstances, the white people are and must be our teachers. "We should co operate with them and seek their co-operation in all things tending or looking to the betterment of each or both. The best interest of the one is, in the end, the best interest of both. "We are workers together with God." With that belief and to that end, we should work. ALBUQUERQUE NEWS. Rev. P. H. Thomas of Guthrie, Okla., was a pleasant visitor in our city last week, while here he preached at the Mt. Olive Baptist church. He left the following week for his home. A. R. Samuels, the shoe maker is at the Sister's hospital, where he will undergo an operation on his liver, as soon as the doctor says he is strong enough to have the operation performed. Frank Faucett has returned home from the hospital, where he was successfully operated on. Wm. Lyle, the blacksmith was painfully hurt last week as the result of a horse falling on him while at work at his trade. Lefty, our local prize fighter, after winning several good fights at the New Mexico Athletic club, will leave in a few days for New York. The A. M. E. Church is planning for a mammoth Leap Year entertainment to be given at the Odd Fellows Hall. Invitations have been extended to over 200 people. Needless to say that a good time is in store for those who attend. The ladies will do the treating, which the gentlemen greatly enjoy to see every four years. Mr. and Mrs. T O. Mason pleasantly entertained at dinner at their cosy home last Sunday Mr. A. R. Lowe of Alton, Illinois, who contemplates going into the jewelery business in our city. A Linen shower in honor of Miss Katherine Ellsworth, at her residence on Roma Ave., last Friday by her lady friends, as a remembrance to her wedding announcement was an enjoyable affair. Among those who were present were: Mesdames J. W. Rodgers, C. Owens, T. J. Dunlap, A. B. Montgomery, G. W. Hutchinson, C. Payne, C. H. Roberts, I. Cornell, R. Crumbv, R. Butler, T. O. Mason, E. N. Reynolds, M. Conway, H. E. Ellsworth; Misses F. Patterson, M. Carter, M. Dunlap. The ladies report that a very pleasant evening was spent. One of the prettiest home weddings that has taken place in our city for some months, was the marriage of Miss Katherine Ellsworth to Mr Ollie La Page. The bride is the daughter of S.T. Ellsworth, one of the oldeat and most respected inhabitants of our city. She is an accomplished young lady of a modest pleasing disposition. Mr. La Page is popular among his friends. Rev. J. W. Rodgers officiated. A few invited friends were present. Mr. and Mrs. La Page will be at home to friends after next Friday. RACE NEWS Vigorous steps will be taken, it is understood, to develop the old home of Frederick Douglass into a "Mecca" for the colored people of the country. It is estimated that $25,000 will be necessary to finance the project along approved lines and make it a permanent institution. Knoxville, Tenn., Feb. 7.—In Circuit Court today Huge L. Moss, a Negro, was given judgment for $250 against the Southern Railway because a conductor of that company required him to surrender his seat in a jim crow compartment to a lady passenger. The train was crowded and several whites crowded into the Negro car. and the Negro had to get up. look for ourselves. See?—Kentucky Reporter. The efficient work accomplished by the Association for the protection of colored women during 1911 was manifested by a report read before the members at a meeting held last Sunday afternoon at the Allen African Methodist church, Seventeenth and Bainbridge Sts. The organization was formed especially for the protection of young colored women who come to this city from various sections of the South to seek employment and to prevent the possibility of their falling into the hands of evil-minded persons. The report showed that during the last year 900 young In Oklahoma, Miss Isabella Lewis, colored, owns 80 acres in the oil district which promises an annual income of $400,000. Mrs. Josephine Morris is a millionaire, and Mrs. Glenn and her daughters have an income of over $100,-000. These live in the oil district. Louisville, Ky., Feb., 4—Heroism of a colored janitor, Stewart Wade, who ran his elevator to the top floor twice through the flames, saved the occupants of the fashionable six story St. James apartment house from death where fire destroyed the structure about 2 o'clock this morning. Just as Wade finished his second trip the cable broke and the cage dropped to the floor of the basement. Seventy-five people were rendered homeless and driven into the zero temperature, clad only in their night clothes. Nothing was saved and the loss will total over $100,-000. When colored men sit around and say the white man is mean and will not give him, nor his son or daughter a nice job in his office or store, that colored man is fifty years behind the times, and as big a fool as he is behind. Colored men should do like white men. Think a hundred years ahead and make places for their children while they are growing up or while they are in school preparing themselves to go out in the battle of life. White men are not going to give so awful many nice jobs to colored men and women because there are not enough of them for the white people. They look out for their own race first and see about us last; and who can blame them? We should do as they do, look for ourselves. See?—Kentucky Reporter.

GRAND WORTHY MASTER GRIFFIN DEAD The news of the death of Grand Worthy Master W. R. Griffin in a wreck on the Norfolk and Western railroad, near Fords, Va., and within 22 miles of Petersburg and about 44 miles of this city on last Monday morning spread like wildfire and caused almost a panic among members of the Order. They were almost stunned by the suddenness of the information. While the wreck occurred Monday morning, and it was reported that two colored men were seriously injured, their names were not given and it was not until Tuesday morning that it was known that Grand Worthy Master W. R. Griffin was one of these passengers. He had been removed to the Petersburg Hospital in an unconscience condition and when he died, his effects were examined and his identity established. The surgeons explained the delay by stating that they were interested in trying to save his life first and find out who he was afterwards. Mr. Griffin was traveling in the colored section of the train next to the baggage coach and was the only passenger of color. The colored porter, Mr. J. W. Brown of Roanoke was in the compartment with him and both were fatally injured Grand Worthy Master Griffin was unmarried. The porter had just purchased a cosy home in Roanoke where he lived with his family.—Richmond Planet. THE WORLD IN PARAGRAPHS A BRIEF RECORD OF PASSING EVENTS IN THIS AND FOR- EIGN COUNTRIES. IN LATE DISPATCHES DOINGS AND HAPPENINGS THAT MARK THE PROGRESS OF THE AGE. WESTERN. The coal famine in Nome, Alaska, has been relieved by the army post there, which supplied the inhabitants with eighty-two tons. As the result of a fire, four persons were seriously injured at Hillsboro, N. D., and a property loss of about $25,000 was caused. President Taft has signed the proclamation admitting Arizona to statehood. The inauguration of Governor Hunt was witnessed by many prominent people, including William J. Bryan. The news was heralded by the explosion of forty-eight sticks of dynamite at Bisbee. Broadcast warnings against acceptance of fraudulent San Francisco postoffice money orders have been issued following discovery of the theft of 100 money order blanks from a sub-station in San Francisco. The theives also stole the sub-station money order stamp. Shunted about from place to place as the result of the long government investigation to determine whether he was a leper or not, John R. Earle, formerly of Washington, D. C., has been located at Summit, near Tacoma, Wash., and will be fenced in on an acre of land. Discussion as to how much money a young man should be earning before he marries led to a remarkable discovery in frugality in Chicago. Mrs. Hannah Krueger, wife of a day laborer, has raised three children on an income of $10 a week and deposited $2 each week for six years. Just as the chaplain was about to pronounce the benediction at the close of the morning chapel service at the state penitentiary at Lincoln, Neb., Albert Prince, a negro, under sentence for assault with intent to kill, attacked and fatally stabbed Deputy Warden E. D. Davis. The warden received six wounds. He died some hours later. Discising snow is the latest employment on the extensive sheep ranches in western North Dakota. For a time sheep men in that vicinity feared that thousands of sheep would perish because of unusually heavy snows followed by rains and thaws that crusted the snow so hard the sheep could not break through for forage. R. J. McArthur, owner of a vast ranching outfit thought of the disc he uses on his fields in the summer and tried it on the crusted snow with such success that many ranchers are now at work discing the snow. Thousands of protested land entries in the West are to be taken in hand at once by the Interior Department and pushed toward settlement pursuant to an order issued by Secretary Fisher as result of pressure exerted by Representatives Taylor of Colorado and Mondell of Wyoming of the House public land committee. Twenty-eight hundred entries in Colorado alone, some of which have been under a cloud of the government's "rubber stamp" protest system for years are to be certified to the Land Office at once, with reason why they have not been examined by government agents. FOREIGN The Empress of Germany has appointed a commission to look into the state of the beggar children of Germany. After occupying the throne of China for nearly three centuries, the Manchu dynasty, represented by the child emperor, Pu Yi, abdicated. Three edicts were issued, the first proclaiming abdication; the second, dealing with the establishment of the republic, and the third, urging the maintenance of peace and approving the conditions agreed upon by the imperial premier Yuan Shi Kai, and the republicans. SPORT. The National League baseball schedule for 1912 has been adopted and made public. The schedule provides for 154 games but the season will be three days shorter than last year, beginning one day earlier and closing four days earlier. The season will open on April 11th. Gus Ruhlin, famous a decade ago as a pugillist, conqueror of Tom Sharkey and others of lesser note, died in New York. Carlton R. Gardner of New York and San Friscisco won the lawn tennis championship of the Orient at Manlia "Wildcat" Ferns of Kansas City and Clarence English of Omaha have been matched for a fifteen-round bout at St. Joseph, M WASHINGTON. President Taft has decided to delay the appointment of a successor to the late Justice Harlan of the Supreme Court. Judge J. H. Knowles adjourned court for ten minutes at Midland, Texas, while he thrashed a man who had called him a liar. Undismayed by the small appropriation for carrying on aeronautics in the army, the War Department let contracts for five war aeroplanes. James K. Polk, Jr., direct descendant of President Polk and son of Bishop Leonidas Polk, first Episcopal bishop of Louisiana, dropped dead in Paris, Texas. The House passed an anti-loan shark bill establishing twelve per cent, as the legal rate of interest that may be charged by loan agencies in the District of Columbia. Comptroller Murray has ordered that boards of directors of national banks hereafter shall meet the federal bank examiners at every examination to discuss the affairs of the institutions, especially their loans and discounts. President Taft's meditations on filing the present vacancy in the Supreme Court were momentarily disturbed by a communication from the Woman's Suffrage Association of the District of Columbia, suggesting that a woman be appointed. A reduction of the cavalry force of the United States army from fifteen to ten regiments, with a consequent reduction of the enlisted force to the army by 3,980 men, was voted into the army appropriation bill in the House after a bitter fight. The Sherwood so-called "dollar-a-day" pension bill was rejected by the Senate committee on pensions, and another measure, which would involve an annual expenditure of $24,000,000 proposed as a substitute by Senator Smoot of Utah, was adopted. The twenty-five army posts which experts of the War Department advocate abolishing will not be provided for in the army appropriation bill now before the House. By a vote of 52 to 13, money for their maintenance or repair was withdrawn. A reduction of $10,000 in the fund for barracks and quarters also was made. Dispatches have been sent to the governors of all Western states by the War Department asking for detailed information as to the war footing of the state militia. This act is interpreted as a preparation for a military occupation of Mexico. The governors of Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Arizona and New Mexico were asked to submit at once estimates of the military forces which these states could throw into the field in the event of a call for volunteers. World-wide significance attaches to the visit soon to be made by Secretary Knox at the direction of President Taft to the countries bordering on the Carribean sea. European diplomats, recalling a recent speech of Mr. Knox before the New York State Bar Association, looked upon the proposed trip with interest. That speech is being interpreted as the latest notice given by the United States that the principle of America for Americans must be observed. GENERAL Thomas A. Edison recently celebrated his sixty-fifth birthday and declares he feels only twenty-five. Three million persons in central China, are on the verge of starvation, according to a statement just issued. The price of beer will be advanced from 50c to $1 a barrel by several Milwaukee breweries because of the increased cost of hops and other raw materials. Three army motor trucks on an endurance run left Washington on a 1,500-mile trip to Fort Benjamin Harrison. Indianapolis. The machines are operated by soldiers and each carries 3,000 pounds of sand. The lady of fashion will shun plumage on her hat this year, but will be allowed to display a radiance of feathers on her shoes, according to advices from Paris. The very latest note of elegance in footwear is declared to be shoes covered with birds' plumage. That a perfect stranger could walk into the National City bank, of New York, which is backed by the Standard Oil millions, officered by Standard Oil men and conducted under Standard Oil methods, toss a forged check for $10,000 to the paying teller, get the money and walk out again without being detected would be declared impossible by nine out of ten men in the financial district. Yet this is what happened in that great banking institution recently and all of the resources of William J. Burns and the Pinkerton Detective agency, which have been retained by the American Bankers' Association, have failed to find the slightest clue to the man who played this trick on the most carefully conducted banking institution in the world. Members of Presbyterian churches in Chicago who became disgruntled at the minister and refuse persistently to go to church for one year or more are to be placed on the suspended roll of the church and not allowed privileges of membership. Charles W. Morse, the banker, who reached New York recently from the federal prison in Atlanta, Ga., following commutation of his fifteen-year sentence, has departed for Europe on board the steamship Kaiser Auguste Victoria, accompanied only by his wife. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Taxes Coming Fast. Greeley.—That there is money in Weld county is shown by tax payments.

Colorado Negro Industrial School. Pueblo.—There is being built here an industrial school for negroes, which is patterned after the Tuskegee Institute, of which Booker T. Washington is president. The main buildings are being constructed on a twenty-five-acre tract of land near the city. On this little farm, which is now being improved, the boys will be taught the art of modern farming, horticulture, the grading of thoroughbred livestock and other useful things such as printing, carpentering, engineering and tailoring. The girls will be given courses of training in domestic science, needle and fine art work and music. This will be called the Colorado Negro Industrial School, and has been incorporated under the laws of Colorado. Farmers Fight Tariff Reductions. Denver.—The report of the sugar beet committee of the Farmers' Educational and Co-operative Union of Colorado was embodied in a resolution offered before the annual meeting in the Albany hotel. More than 100 delegates from the various chapters of the union throughout the state attended the gathering, which closed following the election of officers and a banquet. Last September the northern district board of the union selected a committee of six, of which three were sent to Washington to present the conditions under which Colorado farmers raise sugar beets, in relation to the proposed downward revision of the tariff. According to the resolution submitted, the committee proved to the satisfaction of their hearers in Washington that the average yield per acre was $10\%$ tons, and that the average price paid for the beets is $5.50, and that this barely allows the beet grower to break better than even on his crops. Any reduction in the tariff would fall directly upon the farmers, it is declared, and to decrease the price would reduce the price of beets below the cost of production, they declared. Road Bill Signatures Are Secured. Greeley.—The last of the necessary signatures have been secured to make the new road bill operative in Weld county. The petitions asking that the county be districted will not be presented to the county commissioners. Wanted to Marry 100 Girls. Delta—Ernest M.

A. to this, also, may be attribut- ed the additional fact that, ofall the heroes of the Revolutionary period, posterity has been inclined to dwarf the stature of Washington. For a time his biographers tried to transform him into a saint. Obvious- ly impossible, this, because, above all things else, he was a man among men, a figure in his time which, so far as obtained to his personality, was not unlike that of the late King Edward of England—prone to human weaknesses, but at the same time a gentleman of rare tact and dignity. After it became apparent that Wash- fmgton was not a saint, the trend of opinion was to consider him a re- spectable numskull, a creature of cir cumstances, who managed by luck never to do the wrong thing. At the same time, men who, in his day, took minor parts were exalted into heroes of the first rank, largely because of their fondness for epigram and that further weakness of the general pub- Me, which would rather scent out a hero of its own than acknowledge to tho greatness of the obvious, outstand- ing figure. All of which would indicate that the time has about arrived when Wash- ington should be rescued from his ‘biographers. Moderation and determination are the two dominant characteristics of which time has not robbed Washing: ton. Of them, the first is the one which has deprived him of a great deal of the appreciation which has ‘een lavished on less deserving char- acters. ‘Whatever the vices of the man, they were always held within respectable restraint, Whatever his virtues, he mever gave them undue prominence. So it is that, after more than a eentury, there has come a tendency to depreciate the ability of the one ‘man who, more than any other, would naturally be exalted. For a long time dt was held that his fame was tar- nished because he swore real oaths ‘at the battle of Monmouth. That was wucceeded by the present epoch, ‘which has chosen to regard him as a flovable gentleman, with enough horse sense not to make a fool of himself and, by a series of events over which hhe had no control, to become the fa- ther of his country. ‘And yet it is doubtful if another character of the age is more to be admired for its many-sided excellen- cles. As man, warrior and statesman, ‘Washington yields to no figure of his time. ‘What place Washington held, in his ‘own day, must now become a matter ‘of interest. Shortly after his death, (Felix Faulcon voiced the opinion. of ‘the French parliamentarians when he addressed the legislative assembly as follows: “The tomb has claimed him who twas the model of republican perfec: tion. This is not the time to trace all this truly great man has accomplished for the liberties of America, the gen- erous inspirations which he imparted to the French who were attracted to his schogl of arms; the sublime act which will ever add luster to his mem- ory, when, after having exerted his talents in giving liberty to his coun- try, he voluntarily relinquished su- preme power to conceal his glory in the obscurity of private life.” Naturally, Napoleon was attracted to the great general who led an army of ragamuffins to victory, after a long campaign of almost unparalleled vicis- situdes, and whose power was attest- ed by the fact that none of his gen- erals, except Wayne, accomplished much after they left him. When the news of his death reached France, the first consul issued the following or- der: “Washington is no more! ‘That great man fought against tyranny. He firmly established the liberty of his ‘country. His memory will ever be dear to the French people, as it must be to every friend of freedom in two worlds, and especially to the French soldiers, who, like him and the Amer- icans bravely, nett ton ipa” end equality. The first consul, in conse quence, orders that, for ten days black crepe shall be suspended to all the standards and flags of the repub- Iie.” ‘At almost tho same time the Ga- zette de France said: “Washington is dead! This news in the time of the directory it would have been imprudent to announce. Now, the heart may with confidence abandon itself to all the generous emotions of the soul, and we may dare to weep at the tomb of a great man. A general funeral service has been or- dered in America, and this will be ob- ‘served by the citizens of every nation. ‘No period has sustained a lass so ir- reparable as the end of tho eighteenth century.” This concluding sentence may be taken as generally expressing the est!- mation in which the great man was held. ASKED AID OF WASHINGTON Frenchman, in Financial Distress Turned for Help to His Great Commander. A letter from the Chevallier de Lam- bert to George Washington, asking pecuniary aid, brought $10.50 recent- ly. The letter is dated Philadelphia, May 26, 1789, and reads as follows: Honored Sir: I came into this coun- try recommended to your excellency by the Marquis de La Fayette. I served in the American army two years in quality of lieutenant of ar- tillery under the command of Colonel Porter. I have the honor to be of the Order of the Cincinnatl. I am at present disagreeably cir- cumstanced, being in debt to my Yandlord. The favor I have to ask of your excellency is that you would lend me £100, for which I will give you a bill of exchange on the Presi- dent Front de Ville at Rouen, and shall think myself forever obliged. I have remained in this country in hopes of serving it in a military qual- ity, but, having now no prospect of that, my intention {s to return to France. It is to pay my landlord for my bed and board and to defray the expenses of my passage that I want the money just mentioned. I have the honor to be, with the greatest esteem and re- spect, your excellency’s most humble and obedient servant, CHEVALIER DE LAMBERT. P. S.—I earnestly beg the favor of an answer as soon as your excellency conveniently can. My directions are at Mr. Pereton’s at the Golden Swan, Third street. ‘The letter is addressed to “His Ex- cellency, Genl. Washington, President of the United States, New York.” On the back {s Washington's indorse- ment: “From the Chevir. de Lam bert, 26th May, 1789.” ENTIRE OFFICIAL STAFF OF IN- TERNATIONAL IRON WORK- ERS IN CUSTODY. BONDS ARE $340,000 GRAND JURY THAT RETURNED INDICTMENTS MAY RESUME INVESTIGATION. Weatorn Newspaper Union News Service. Indianapolis, Ind.—The United States government arrested almost all of the fifty-four men indicted in the dynamite conspiracy cases. It took in- to custody within a few hours prac- itcally the entire official staff of the International Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers, includ- ing the chief officers, members of the executive board and about twenty busi- ness agents and former business agents. ‘These included Frank M. Ry- an, the president, John T, Butler of Buffalo, N. ¥., the first vice president, and Herbert 8. Iockin, the second vice president and successor of J. J. McNamara ,as secretary-treasurer. Each of these men was required to give $10,000 bond for his appearance for arraignment here with all the other defendants on March 12. More than forty of the men, chiefly labor union officials who are charged with conspiring to destroy by dyna- mite or nitro-glycerine the property of employers of non-union labor, were under arrest and it was declared the apprehension of all the others would follow within forty-eight hours. By its action the government re- vealed the identity of the men whou it charges with being the accomplices of the McNamaras and Ortie McManl- gal in the dynamite plots, embracing almost one hundred explosions which began in Massachusetts in 1905 were scattered over the country for six years and which resulted in the wrecking of the Los Angeles Times buliding and an attempt to blow up President Taft’s special train at Santa Barbara, Cal., last October. Fourteen of those indicted are each required to furnish $10,000 bond, and forty sre each required to furnish $5, 000 bond, making an aggregate bond required of $340,000. Some of those whom the govern- ment was unable to find were report- ed to have disappeared through fear of inability to get bond. Ernest G. W. Basey, former business agent of the Indianapolis Iron Work- ers’ union, and Edward Clark, former business agent of the Cincinnati un- ion, who were brought here after their arrest at Cincinnati, were unable to obtain bail and were taken to jail. ‘When Clark appealed to Secretary Hockin of the Iron Workers’ Associa- tion for aid, Hockin advised the Unit- ed States marshal to inform Clark thé international association could do nothing for him and referred him to his local union. Hockin said it would be impossible for the international association to take on the burden of supplying bell for many of the men arrested. Immediately upon his arrest Presl- dent Ryan addressed a statement to union labor men throughout the coun- try, calling upon them to believe his innocence and in the innocence of his co-defendants. 5 United States District Attorney Mil- ler intimated that the federal grand jury which returned the indictments might be recalled to resume investiga tion of the conspiracy. After Wife Deserters. New York.—That there has been a general exodus from this.country of wife deserters making tracks for, the safe confines of Canada recently, and that an effort is now being made, through a test case, to have them de- ported, has been made known by Mon- roe M, Goldstein, secretary and attor- ney for the national desertion bureau, at Twenty-first street and Second ave- nue. The bureau, he says, has located more than 1,000 missing husbands since it was opened three years ago. Mr. Goldstein has never encountered any difficulty in/having a man extradit- ed from one state to another in this country for wife desertion. Yuan, New Chinese President.

HOUSTON'S NEW INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL enn Suet eer cee SPCR ISS Ta Oana School of agriculture and mechanic arts, as well as great in literary train- ing, ls the dream of Prof. F. W. Gross, principal of the Houston Literary and Normal school of this place. It is Professor Gross’ desire to build up a Schovl great in effectiveness and ac- pate Pe pease Beene coe and the numbéFAt students. ‘That he is well on the way to attain- Ing his desire in so far as the Houston Literary and Industrial school is con- cerned is attested by the great suc- cess of the institution within the four years that he has been at its head. The institution is located in a section Tich in possibilities. The fame of Houston is as well earned as it is well known. The possibilities for the future are greater than that of any other southern city save New Orleans. With the completion and extension of the north and south trunk lines run- ning through Houston from the lakes to the gulf and the completion of the Panama canal, Houston's present Breatness will be only a scrap of his- tory to be compared with the rapid strides and tremendous importance of the Texas metropolis. Professor Gross is simply taking time by the forelock in maintaining that negroes should be prepared to ac- cept and appreciate all the good things that will come to them as a pretty big portion of the population of that rich section. To understand thoroughly all that comes to them for these zeasons, it is the purpase of Professor Gross to train a small number of young men and women of that section according to the Tuskegee plan—to train them to know and to do, and who is there ‘that will find fault with this plan? Outlining his own plan, Professor Groes declares it his intention to have only a school in the future that can well accommodate two or three hun- dred students at the time, but to do such good with them that they will come out well prepared as teachers and artisans. He points out the in- numerable opportunities in Texas and in the vicinity of Houston where in- tensive farming on a small scale, where the raising of chickens, the care of pigs, the culture of bees and of flowers will reap rich rewards for the young man or woman, who can take up either of these callings with an eye single to catering to that immense and cosmopolitan population. ‘A visit to Mr. Gross’ work in Hous- ton, situated just beyond the city lim- its of Houston, strikes the observant at once with the wealth of opportunity that is before him, and of the bright future that awaits his institutian. Its growth in the four years of his admin- istration bespeaks a more brilliant fu- ture, and so well has the institution grown that now he can well afford to pay much attention to the matter of efficiency as is his intention, and to the matter of intensifying the work in every particular, Fron. three small buildings to six of various sizes, with a well equipped trades building and an academic building well suited to the needs of the institution, the Houston Literary and Industrial college can very well take care of the number of students for which it only bids and to which uumber it is satisfled in cater ing. | ‘The principal has selected his fac- ulty with more than ordinary care and is to be congratulated in the amount ‘of work he ir able to get out of his teachers. Himself the possessor of a well earned reputation as an educator and a man of big partq he has in Texas a large number of supporters, and is regarded by the negro people of the commonwealth as a man of more than the usual requisities of leader- ship. He makes annual visits to a large number of institutions doing the same kind of work, particularly the Tuske- gee Normal and Industrial institute, and incorporates many of the ideas gained during these visits in his own work in Texas. All things being equal the Houston Literary and Industrial college will in the years to come exert even a greater influence upon the ne- gro life of Texas, due in a large meas, ure to the farsightedness and unusual common sense exhibited by its princt- pale THAT JOHNSON-FLYNN FIGHT CAN'T BE HELD IN NEVADA. Goldfield, Nev.—There is no danger of the Johnson-Flynn fight being held in Nevada, according to a ruling of the attorney general, who calls atten- tion to the revised crimes and pun- ishment act passed by the Inst legis- Inture, which virtually sets aside the $1,000 license for prize fights. Sec- tion 161 provides that principals and participants in any fight, with or without deadly weapons, shall serve from two to five years in the penl- tentiary. Should death result within a year, all those immediately connect- ed with the fight shall be deemed guilty of manslaughter and punished accordingly. ‘This statute is ‘an amendment to the old duelling law.

While some of these, assuming threatening proportions, have been happily averted by wise adjustment of grievances, others have been allowed to fester and aggravate the body politic to dangerous extents. The idea has gained considerable ground among working people that, with wages remaining at a standstill, or falling, and the expense of living, in all of its necessary ingredients, steadily and inordinately rising, some designed social evil is impending, hence the natural unrest. Americans cannot be easily subjected to the labor and wage conditions of Europe, and they instinctively rebel against any seeming attempt to so subject them; but there is a constantly growing European element in our labor circles which habitually resorts to the strike argument, not always with discretion. There is another and stronger argument possible in America for chronic labor difficulties, and that is the voluntary dissemination of the labor element among the country district and the unsettled expanses of the West. More men for the country and fewer for the cities is a good sociological argument. It may not cure the greed of the sharks, but it will curb them. THE COMING TEST. re test of the Negro's self-reliance face will be up to him within the industrial continuity by which h The most severe test of the Negro's self-reliance that he has ever been called upon to face will be up to him within the next few months. It is not a matter of industrial activity by which his daily wants may be provided for, as was the case when he was forced to step out of the heedless conditions of slavery and adjust himself to personal responsibilities strange and new, but it is a trial requiring a finer intelligence, a keener appreciation of vital influences having direct bearing upon his future welfare as a citizen and determining his capacity to employ and enjoy the privileges of a free man. This test is to be political and is to be fought out in the course of the next national campaign for the choosing of the President of the United States. Swift-moving events of the past four years have combined to bring about a complete change in the character of the issues upon which candidates for office go before the people. For more than forty years the colored voter has felt that the manner in which he cast his ballot had something to do with the opportunity he might enjoy to develop as a freeman and a citizen, and the solidarity of his political action has been an evidence of his faith and trust in the principles to which the Republican party has elung and which formed the basis and bulwark of the public life of the nation's greatest statesmen. But new ideas, vigorous and daring, have forged to the front in the last four years, and under the strenuous tutelage of men of great political power and dauntless personal will have driven into the background the sentiments as well as many of the live issues which heretofore appealed to the people, and with these sentiments and issues have gone interests so vital to the Negro that their continued abandonment will mean the elimination of the Negro as an important political factor in all parts of the Union. This object has been accomplished practically already in the South, but the work in the North requires stronger and more subtle tactics. The abandonment of all race controversies in politics is to be the policy in the North, while in the South they remain actively dominant. Closer touch among the white people of the nation upon industrial matters, and a compromise of sectional feeling at whatever cost, is the ambition of these new thinkers and wonder-workers of the North. Their success will mean, first, an absolute change in the political character of the Republican party and of its attitude toward the Negro, and, second, the quick rejuvenation and sudden return to prolonged national power of the Democratic party. The Negro's political strength would then become of no avail, because its aid would be unnecessary and undesirable. Nothing but the solid opposition of the Negro voter to this transformation of the Republican party will thwart the success of these ambitious schemes, whose real source is to be found in the heart of the Bourbon South. The independent, self-saying judgment of the Negro must be aroused against the subtle plans by which this most cruel political prescription is expected to be attained.

Indeed, I believe that the demand for a building material of a nature that includes the possibilities of color is continually growing, and accounts in a large measure for the ever-increasing use of brick. Enough is commonly known concerning the lasting qualities of brick to remove that phase out of the realm of discussion. If the ancient temples along the Nile were to be torn down the brick with which they were built could be safely used again for new buildings, despite the centuries since they were manufactured. As to fire protection, we again seem to be discussing the obvious. One has but to remember that brick is made perfect by fire, and has to pass through 1,000 to 1,800 degrees of heat before it is ready for the builder. In a conflagration, stone, cement and other building materials are melted and resolved back to sand and carbon, before the heat experienced by brick in its original baptism of fire has been reached. Many a fire has been stopped by a good, stout brick wall when stone, steel and cement have failed. Mr. F. W. Fitzpatrick, consulting architect of the International Society of State and Municipal Building Commissioners and Inspectors, in an article in McClure's Magazine, says: "The average man who is at all observant must have noticed that granite and marble and sandstone and limestone and steel and concrete spall, disintegrate and are greatly damaged by heat and fire. It is therefore more logical in building external walls to use in place of any of these a material that is not affected by fire. Brick that has gone through intense heat in its manufacture has best stood the test of flames and heat, so why not use it instead of the damageable material?" How Body Feels Severe Cold By J.

Brick stone through intense heat in its manufacture stood the test of flames and heat, so why not lead of the damageable material?" A good deal of perplexity is added to our world by the lack of correspondence between the thermometer and the human body as indicators of weather conditions. The thermometer is a device which indicates one thing and only one thing, and that is the relative amount of heat in the air. The thermometer is unaffected by either moisture or wind. It registers exactly the same in moist air and in dry air, and also in still air and in air moving 100 miles an hour—if the amount of heat is the same. The human body, on the other hand, amount of heat, but also of the moisture and end of thirty or forty miles an hour will add if cold beyond the temperature indicated by sees below zero by the thermometer may be human body if a high wind is blowing.

What are the wages of professional man cooks? There are great differences, because there are so many different cooks, good, bad and indifferent. There are chefs, sauciers, second cooks, soup cooks, broilers, roast cooks, fry cooks, cold meat cooks, chafing dish, etc. Some know how to handle all of these stations, some handle a few, and some only one. This covers only the first-class hotels and restaurants. Their pay is as follows. The chef, from $150 to $750 a month, cooks, $50 to $150 a month.

Does Not Pay to Spend Much Time In Mending Hosiery—Are Useful in Making Rugs for the In these halcyon days of guaranteed hoslery—at a very moderate price, too—it can be said with emphasis that it does not pay to spend much time darning stockings. When they have really begun to give out, the putting of a whole hour on a large heel hole is nothing less than wicked. The sensible housemother prefers to put by the ragged socks and stockings and to buy new rather than to spend on prolonging the life of a couple of pairs for two more wearings the time that would suffice to make a new outing shirt or simple tailored waist. But there is no need to throw old black stockings in the rag bag for want of ways to use them. First of all, a well worn black sock is one of the best things to be had for use in sponging off dark clothes with household ammonia or other cleaning fluid. It leaves no light colored lint, and is soft and absorbent to handle. A supply should be always in some convenient place if the men of the household have a way of wearing black or dark blue suits for everyday. Weven rag carpet is no longer a thing despised. Through the winter many home lovers return to the old fashion of sewing carpet rags, to be woven into serviceable rugs for nursery and sitting room, as well as for the furnishing of the summer bungalow. The touch of black is most desirable to set off the brighter stripes, and for this purpose old black stockings cut around and round in spiral fashion, or as an apple is peeled, to make a long strip, will be found useful to the very toe. One notable housewife uses stockings in the mop that she polishes floors and wipes up with, as they are softer than the mops usually sold. Wherefore, save the old stockings. ALL AROUND the HOUSE Potato water is good to take mud stains from cloth. A root-bound fern soon indicates its condition by dropping fronds. Sunflower seeds make better bait than cheese for the mouse trap. It is better to wipe off meat with a wet cloth than to let water run over it. Jellied veal can be deliciously seasoned with lemon juice and celery salt. Equal parts of milk and lukewarm water are excellent for sponging palms. A pinch of borax in cooked starch will make the clothes stiffer and whiter. A bread pudding may be deliciously flavored by a few slices of candied orange peel. To place ferns upon the window sill means their death, as they cannot live in a cold draught. Dried lemon peel sprinkled over coals will destroy any disagreeable odor in the house. When blowing out a candle, hold it high and blow upward to keep the grease from running. Hot biscuits, generously buttered and spread with currant jelly are delicious served with game. A better iron rest than the ordinary metal stand is a firebrick, as it does not cool the iron so rapidly. Home-Made Vinegar. Save all your apple parings and put in crock or granite pan and cover with water, let stand a few days, then strain through a thin cloth. A large salt sack will do—and squeeze, but not hard enough so the parings will come through. Rinse all your syrup palls and pitchers and put in the juice, or you can put in a little brown sugar. Then set where it is warm and let work. If you will have any mother from old vinegar put that in, but it will make its' own mother. This makes good vinegar and saves buying at stores. Potato Farel. Peel six large potatoes, cut them in halves lengthwise and scoop out the centers, leaving the shells about one-half inch in thickness. Season two cups of chopped raw beef with one tablespoonful of softened butter, one tablespoon of tomato catsup, one teaspoon of minced parsley, one-half teaspoon of minced onion, one-half teaspoon of salt and a few grains of pepper. Fill the potato shells with the meat, sprinkle with buttered crumbs and bake with equal parts of butter and hot water. Savory for a Beef Stew. (For about three pounds of meat.) Take one medium sized onion; stick it with three cloves; add one blade of mace, one teaspoonful of pepper-corns, one half teaspoonful of allspice, one tablespoonful of salt, one half teaspoonful of summer savory, one half teaspoonful of thyme, one-half teaspoonful of marjoram; one tablespoonful of lemon juice, one tablespoonful of mushroom or tomato catsup or a few drops of Worcestershire sauce. PASTOR MAKES PLEA FOR EDUCATION OF NEGROES IN U. S. The Rev. A. F. Ragatz Urges Teachings Against Ignorance, Immorality and Sin. "God that made the world and all things therein hath made of one blood all nations of men." Taking this text from Acts xvii.: 24-26, the Rev. A. F. Ragatz, pastor of Christ Methodist church, Twenty-second avenue and Ogden street, pleaded for the education of the Negro last Sunday morning. He introduced his sermon by speaking of Lincoln as the one man who recognized all men as brothers. "Nearly half a century ago," he said, "the shackles were taken from the limbs of 4,000,000 Negroes in the South, but the work of emancipation will take the great heart of God and the mighty army of the church of Jesus Christ to give the Negro of our Southland that greater and higher emancipation of the mind and soul from ignorance, immorality and sin. "The Freedmen's Aid Society was organized to aid the Negro. At the close of war none could read or write; they had no property, no standard of morality and no religion. Today they own $1,000,000,000 worth of property, and one-half of the race can read and write, and we find them teachers, preachers, editors, poets and intellectual leaders among their own race. "No race on the continent gets so little pay for his work as does the black man, and yet out of his poverty the 300,000 Negroes of the Methodist church in 1911 gave the amazing sum of $1,223,340.34—News. ```markdown ``` WERE STARS 75 We're not singing in the cho- rus in the Overcoat business.

Ward and brother left that afternoon to be present at the funeral. Mrs. Elliott preached in the morning and the Rev. Lena. Mason filled the pulpit in the evening.

The Midwinter Revival, which is now on at Campbell, has had a propitious beginning. During the past week overflowing crowds have been attracted, a number unsaved have been led to accept Christ and a host of believers inspired and strengthened. The pastor is being ably assisted by Mrs. Lena Mason of Hannibal, Mo., who is widely known as an evangelist and public speaker, she having conducted evangelical meetings in nearly every large city in the Union. Sunday will doubtless be a high water mark, as the campaign for souls will be kept up throughout the day. A juvenile evangelical service will be held at the Sunday school hour (9:30) when an effort will be made to have every unsaved child present accept Christ. At 11 a. m., Rev. Robert L. Pope, the new pastor, will deliver a sermon on "Lost Opportunities," when a special appeal will be made to the young men. At 6:30 p. m., the Allen Christian Endeavor League will keep up the firing line and Mrs. Lena Mason will deliver a special sermon on "The Christian Soldier" at the evening hour. On Thursday evening of next week Mrs. Mason will hold SPECIAL MEETING FOR WOMEN and at 3 p. m., Sunday, the 25th, a SPECIAL MEETING FOR MEN will be held. To all these services every Christian is URGED to COME and BRING your UNSAVED FRIEND.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Many of our secret orders have made investments in temples, sanitariums and banks in several cities. This is all good. But there is one form of investment which would pay a bigger dividend in general usefulness than any yet made, and that is the purchase of large bodies of farm land. There is no sort of doubt that the great mass of negroes must work out their salvation in the country and on farms. In many parts of the state many negroes are beginning to feel "the east wind" because of inability to secure land by renting or otherwise. This situation is going to grow in acuteness as time passes. Now, suppose our numerous secret orders were to come together, form a great holding company, and instead of investing $200,000 or $300,000 in building sites widely scattered, should invest that much in country land.. This would form a perpetual source of income by giving opportunity and employment to hundreds of negro families and be the means of creating negro towns. This is the era of big business and numbers eliminate chance. Concert of effort on the part of our secret orders points the way for the man and brother to create and operate big business and get results that help thousands. More negro farmers are borrowing money from the banks this year than ever before. Bankers living in the credit zones of the state have heretofore been furnishing money to the credit merchant at a nominal rate of interest, who in turn furnish farmers with supplies at a rate of interest which would require an expert accountant to compute. The credit merchant was getting results while the banker got the caboot! The latter, therefore, has come to himself and opened his doors wide to any negro who can raise cotton. That's fine for the banker, but for the negro farmer? Well, when the latter was being run by the credit merchant he was, metaphorically speaking, in hell! And now that he is borrowing from the banker the negro has moved up into purgatory, from which, of course, there is always a favorable chance of escape. It's fine to borrow money with which to operate a farm, but it is far better not to have to borrow any, but make the farm pay its way. Many a man, of course, who is being granted this new privilege will make good while it is perfectly safe to say that some will never again be able to hear "the tap of the drum!"—Dallas Express. There are two phases of race patronage business to which sufficient prominence has not been given. The negro business man must be prepared to do business. Second, in our fervor to patronize him we ought not to change up suddenly, and quit while head over heels in debt to him. More negro business men have been wrecked in this way than in any other. Trusted friends have been extended credit, and when they got in good and strong have quit apparently by common understanding and gone back to "de white folks." Quit if you will, but quit in good standing. If you are not going to do this, don't start. It cost $8,000 and 33 days of steady digging day and night of 20 men, in eight-hour shifts, to recover the body of James Hartnett, a Brooklyn negro. December 7 a well he was helping to dig at 87 Clifton place, Brooklyn, caved in and buried Hartnett. When recovered the body was standing upright in the hoisting bucket, 44 feet down in the pit. There were two men in the well when the cave-in began. When the signal was given the white man went up first, and then, on the second lift, the black man was caught by the falling earth and crushed. The bodies of princes have cost less than $8,000 to recover from the place they were killed in order that they might have Christian burial. The skilled statisticians who spend so much of their time on percentages have discovered that the colored people did not increase as fast as the white people did, the past ten years. Now please put your ear to the ground and hear the approach of the crowd who have found that the colored race is dying out. What we have never been able to learn is where in the dell the joy comes from in thinking of the colored race as a dying race. The negro citizens of Nashville have cause to feel proud of the progress that is being made by our energetic business men. There are signs of progress here deserving of emulation. We take special pride in referring to the new theater that is nearing completion, and the new improvements being made by the management of The Palms Creamery. Freed from chattel slavery at great cost of blood and treasure, enlightened at uncounted millions of cost to the state, it were time the colored man was learning the great lesson of self-help. It must come to him, that he who would be free himself must strike the blow. He must come to learn that God helps those alone who help themselves.-Dallas Express. The negro must take more seriously to heart the fact that he is compared to the whites, not making show enough. He has the education and the money and therefore is without excuse for not doing more in the material world. Here in Dallas, he has more churches and schools than anything else. This is not true of the white man. He has more factories, stores, shops, and other bread-winning labor-using enterprises than churches and schools. He reasons that his offspring must have a means of support—a way to get what is needed for earthly comfort before going into the heaven and hell business, and we are much of the opinion that the black man might profit by his example. Let us establish a few more enterprises which offer us a means of livelihood, for if we do not live we will not need anything in this world—and blame little in the world to come. With the colored man, religion is still a reality—a pretty costly one of course—rather than a diverting recreation as it is with some other folks. Isn't it rather an ominous symptom that in every town or city where the negro lives, he has five times as many churches—non-producing plants—as he has stores and other places of business? With the whites whom we so closely and often so foolishly imitate—it is just the other way. Again the bulk of negroes are more concerned about fine churches than they are about fine or comfortable homes. And in this respect we present a striking variation from the line of conduct of the man whom we imitate. The ruling passion of one is fine churches here and a good home in the sweet perhaps. With the other it is a good home first, here and now, and a fine church as an incident.—"Old Hickory." The census returns for 1900 show that there is in New York city a foreign born white population of 1,260,918. From the color of them, as we observe them in all sorts, places and conveyances, more than half of them appear to be mulattoes, and twice as numerous as the census numbers give. Where did they get their red, brown yellow and olive complexions? They are Europeans for the most part, but 4,260 years after the flood their African and Asiatic blood still being seen and reckoned with. The laws of anthropology have and do play some provoking tricks on mankind. The four colors of them who went out of the Garden of Eden, following the four rivers, appear and disappear with the revolution of the years, simply because the races refuse to remain separated in the metes and bounds of their habitation as fixed for them. State fairs, mostly of the agricultural character, have always been popular among all sorts of people in the old world and the new world. In Asia they are called bazars. The negro state fairs of North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia have become annual and very helpful in character. They show the white and colored white people what the black and colored black people are doing as independent factors in the citizenship. The Savannah Morning News says that President R. R. Wright has figured out the money cost of the Colored State fair at Macon, November 8-18 at $10,980.27, and that all the cost has been paid. The fair was a great success in point of exhibits, attendance and prominence of men who attended it.—New York Age. The Hon. Daniel Howard, the new president of Liberia, said in his inaugural address that all boundary disputes have been settled satisfactorily, and that the country now looks forward to a period of prosperity. We hope so. It has a good foundation in nationality, recognized by all European, American and Asiatic states, and it has a good and helpful friend in the United States. It has abundant resources at home, and should have abundant credit abroad, and would have by a proper development and conservation of its resources at home. —New York Age. The most dangerous negro in the community is the negro who "tattles" to white folks. Generally that type of a negro is untrustworthy and unreliable. He is a menace to society and the community in which he lives. We have discovered long ago that much of the trouble which arises at times between the races can be traced to this class of negroes.—Alexandria (Va.) Advance-Messenger. The negro must come into his enjoyment of the wealth, the culture, the freedom and the opportunities and privileges of American life, along with the white American, share and share alike, in full payment of the implied obligation assumed with his adoption into the country, or America must weaken and destroy itself with self-repression and internal revulsion. The "Japs" who replaced the negro waiters on the Great Northern dining cars "did not make good."—Seattle Searchlight. MAYOR BLANK- ENBURG TO AID NEGROES Interested in Movement to Improve Industrial Conditions. PRESENT EVILS SET FORTH DELEGATION WAITS ON MAYOR—COLORED AND WHITE MINISTERS OF QUAKER CITY INTERESTED IN MOVEMENT. Philadelphia.—Mayor Blankenburg has become deeply interested in the movement to bring about better industrial conditions among the negroes of Philadelphia, and last Friday when a delegation of colored and white citizens waited on the city's executive he stated that he would give the visitors every aid in their efforts to improve conditions. One of the speakers was James Samuel Stemons, who told of the many avenues of employment being closed against the negro in Philadelphia. In a petition which the delegation presented to Mayor Blankenburg it was set forth that the ultimate object in view was to make it possible for negroes to obtain employment among lines other than those of beggarly paid menials, to which they are now almost wholly restricted throughout the north. The petition further sets forth that growing discrimination against negroes is a most portentous phase of the entire race situation in this country. In effect, the petition asked for summary justice being inforced for offenses committed by "a vicious element" in the negro race, but fair dealing toward the better and law-abiding negro citzens. In the petition was the following declaration: "We affirm that the cumulative effects of such high-handed antagonism to social order have been unbounded in augmenting popular feeling against the entire colored race, with the concomitant hardships of lynching, mob violence, segregation and exclusion from the broader fields of labor. The church is the medium through which this league is acting, and it is our purpose ultimately to enlist every colored minister and every colored congregation in every community in this movement for civic decency and political honesty." Mayor Blankenburg, in response to the petition, said that the objects of the league were most laudable and that he would be glad to give his aid toward their consummation. Certain conspicuous crimes among negroes, and particularly in the line of speak easles, he said, were being suppressed. The delegation promised to keep the mayor informed of the league's work. Among the prime movers in the delegation for improving the condition of negroes in this city were said to be the following white and colored pastors of churches of various denominations: White members—Revs. Dr. Edwin Heyl Delk, Dr. Frank P. Parkin, Dr. A. J. Rowland, Dr. Alpha G. Kynett, D. F. Lockerbie, E. F. Randolph. Negro members—Revs. Dr. John W. Lee, Dr. P. A. Wallace, Dr. James H. Scott, Dr. C. Albert Tindley, J. Luther Martin, James Samuel Stemons, Dr. W. G. Parkes, Dr. G. W. Gaines, G. Edward Dickerson, Dr. Henry L. Phillips, Father A. C. V. Cartier, Rev. John R. Logan, Dr. William A. Credit, Dr. Refiben H. Armstrong, Dr. E. W. Moore, A. R. Jackson, Dr. R. William Fickland. NEGRO AVIATOR GETS MEDAL LUCIAN HEADIN HONORED BY AERONAUTICAL SOCIETY—HAS INVENTED EQUALIZER WHICH PREVENTS AIRSHIPS FROM TILTING WHEN FALLING—NOW TOURING SOUTH. New York.—During these days of aviation meets the negro is being represented in the field of aeronautics by Lucian Headin of New York, who was recently awarded a gold medal by one of the aeronautical societies at Mineola, L. I. Aviator Headin is also an inventor, and has attracted attention by taking out a patent on an equalizer, which prevents airships from tilting when falling, thereby preventing many accidents. The equalizer consists of a ball weighing 40 pounds which is attached to an electrical device, and if the airship is falling the aviator can press a button on the steering wheel which will put the large ball into play and cause the airship to descend without mishap. Mr. Hendin was born in Raleigh, N. C., and is married. He is now touring the south with his machine, accompanied by his ex-instructor and manager. Last week he was to have given an exhibition at Norfolk, Va., under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. (white), but was compelled to cancel the engagement on account of cold weather.

Mobile, Ala.—"The fact that Mississippi has a greater proportion of her population of the negro race has been a subject of considerable comment by some of the other states of the nation," says the Mobile Register, "but when it is known that Mississippi is putting forth a greater effort to educate her colored people than any other state in the Union, and with remarkable success, it is a subject of still more considerable comment. "The last census showed that Mississippi has a total population of 1,797,114, and that of this number 1,099,487 are negroes, besides there are more than 1,000 not classified. At first these figures are startling when it is seen that there are a great many more negroes in the state than whites, but it will be remembered that the negro of Mississippi is many degrees in intelligence and civilization ahead of his brother in Africa, and that the white citizenry of Mississippi is making an effort to raise the status of the Mississippi colored man. She has succeeded in doing this to such a great extent that now numbered among the leading farmers and business men of the state are some colored people. One negro came to Meridian eight years ago with a capital of $3, and today he is said to be worth at least $30,000 in real estate and personal property. "A fair illustration of what is being done for the negroes of Mississippi is the work being done in this county of Lauderdale and in Meridian. Few people know that there is being taught in every public school for colored people in Lauderdale county all of the branches of manual training as taught in the leading schools of the country. In the eight grades of school the colored pupils are required to take a manual training course from early childhood up and the results are wonderful, so declare the superintendents of education and others connected with the work of the colored schools. Among the branches taught are sewing, cooking, basketry, drawing, carpentry, school gardening and beautifying school grounds, laundrying, preserving, fancy work, making models of farm implements, millinery, canning, wood and iron work, etc. There is a great deal of interest and pride being taken in the work by the negro children who attend the public schools. DECREASE SHOWN BY THE NEGROES Washington.—In an address delivered at the Tulane university of Louisiana in March, 1910, a prominent railway man, after pointing out that in the ten years from 1890 to 1900 the white population of the south increased by 17.2 per cent, said: "There is reason to believe that the conditions which affected the relative rates of increase of white and negro population in the south between 1890 and 1900 are still operative and that, as time goes on, the negro population of the section will constitute a decreasing proportion of the whole." This forecast is borne out by the statistics of white and negro population for 1910 just made public by the United States census office. In the states south of the Ohio and Potomac rivers and east of the Mississippi there was an increase in the ten years between 1900 and 1910 of 17.5 per cent. in white population and an increase of only 8.7 per cent. in negro population. The rate of increase in negro population for the United States, as a whole, from 1900 to 1910 was 11.3 per cent., as compared with 18 per cent. for the preceding ten years. In 1900 the negroes in the southeastern states constituted 38.1 per cent. of the total population. In 1910 they constituted 37.9 per cent. of the total. In each one of these states the negro population in 1910 constituted a smaller proportion of the total than in 1900 and in two of them—Kentucky and Tennessee—the actual number of negroes was smaller in 1910 than in 1900. The decrease in the negro population in Kentucky in the ten years amounted to 23,050, or 8.1 per cent., and the decrease in Tennessee was 7,155, or 1.5 per cent. The census office states the percentage of negroes to the total population in these states in the two census years as follows: State 1900 1910 Virginia .35.7 32.6 North Carolina .33.0 31.6 South Carolina .58.4 55.2 Georgia .46.7 45.1 Florida .43.6 41.0 Kentucky .13.3 11.4 Tennessee .23.8 21.7 Alabama .45.2 42.5 Mississippi .58.5 56.2 BLANC MANGE.

Phone York 320 PHONE MAIN 5964 FROM his earliest boyhood George Washington's life was closely associated with the old Mount Vernon estate. When Lawrence Washington returned from the West Indian campaign, in which he had served under Admiral Vernon, he gave to his estate the name of that gallant commander. Soon after this he married the daughter of a retired Royal Governor of the Bermuda Islands. Into the refined and elegant associations of this home the boy George came as a favorite visitor. During these years the seeds of that love of the place which later led him to spend lavishly on its improvement were planted. The WARD AUCTION COMPANY George Washington Once Lived in Old New York Great Statesman and Patriot Had Residence There, and Citizens Today Are Proud of the Fact --- final Trumbull portrait of him, painted from life, the oldest portrait owned by the city, and now hanging in the governor's room of the New York city hall. Flippant young Manhattanites make merry over the tiny watery blue eyes and red nose of that dignified gentleman and the enormous hand, which rests on the wooden horse, a caricature of the spirited war charger. In the background of the portrait is shown the old Kennedy house, now No. 1 Broadway, where Washington held his first headquarters during the earliest days of the Revolution. He then removed to the Richmond Hill mansion, at the corner of Varick and Charlton streets, afterward the home of Aaron Burr. It was during these days that his troops drilled in the City Hall park, then the "Fields," or "Commons," and here on July 9, 1776, on horseback, surrounded by patriotic soldiers, the general listened to the first public reading of the Declaration of Independence in New York city; for that one time New York was slower than Philadelphia. NAST After the disastrous defeat of the Battle of Long Island, August 27, 1776, Washington was forced to abandon the city. During the Battle of Harlem Heights, September 16, and for five weeks afterward the Jumel mansion, in One Hundred and Sixtieth street, near Amsterdam avenue, then known as the Roger Morris house, sheltered him. For seven years, until 1783, the British lion swished his proud tail and roared through our New York streets, but on November 25 of that year General Washington returned to his own. The previous night the Van Cortlandt Manor house, in Van Cortlandt park, opened its hospitable doors to the victorious general, and you may see the room he occupied, the bed in which he slept.

THE HORSE RACE Washington Leaving Mount Vernon to Answer the Call of His Country From Historic Picture by Howard Pyle NTIMATELY associated with the years 1789 and 1790, when Washington, as first president of the United States, was living in New York city, is the orig- I you may read the tablets describing the affecting scene on his departure to his home in Mount Vernon. But on April 30, 1789, little old New York went wild with joy when the idol of the nation returned to be its president, and the pomp and ceremony of that first inauguration took place in the old Federal hall, now marked by the Subtreasury building, in Wall street. Here you may see the very stone on which the president stood while taking the oath of office, and the Bible is owned by St. John's lodge, in the Masonic Temple. The fine mahogany furniture of Sheraton design used at that time is shown in the Governor's room of the city hall, the high-backed inaugural chairs, and the desks and armchairs used by the cabinet and the senators. The flag that waved over all this rejoicing is carefully preserved in a glass case. Two different houses were used by Washington during the year 1789 and 1790 as presidential mansions—the first, a beautiful colonial house belonging to Walter Franklin, a wealthy merchant, that stood at No. 1 Cherry street, now shadowed by the gloomy Brooklyn bridge pier; the second was at No. 39 Broadway. Each day he drove in courtly style to the federal hall, in Wall street, and so thoroughly did he acquire the habit that he is everlastingly glued to the spot in the bronze statue on the subtreasury steps. On Sundays the president worshipped at St. Paul's chapel, in the commodious box pew, as large as a room in our modern apartments, being of sufficient area to admit of the Washington's State Coach. comfortable stretching of his long, dignified legs, and far enough removed from the pulpit to encourage a few yawns or a sly nap unheeded by the rector. As we celebrate the birthday of Washington, patriotic New Yorkers will point with a pride that is pardonable to the four buildings still in fine preservation, which were honored by his presence—the Jumel mansion, the Van Cortlandt Manor house, St. Paul's chapel and Fraunces' tavern. Can proud Philadelphia or boastful Boston show more? Historic and Beautiful Ground. There is no more historic ground in the country than that around Valley Forge. The very mention of the revolution suggests Valley Forge, the scene of its greatest crisis. And the work of beautifying and improving it is continually progressing. But recently it was that congress was urged to pass a bill granting $100,000 for the erection of suitable memorial arches. Already a memorial chapel and a museum are under way, in addition to historic buildings that are maintained as nearly as possible in their original condition.

Stripes will make up into the most ordinary or the most striking effects. When not well matched and glyen the right direc- tion, they are a detriment to the out- lines of the figure, but may be so used as to improve it. In millinery, striped materials are mainly used for attaining brilliant ef- fects. They are therefore most effec- tive in black and white or other strong contrasts. They look best on frames with rather severe outlines and high bows of striped ribbons are therefore much used on plain felt or velyet covered hats. As a rule strip- ed materials are more successfully Its Presence In Wardrobe Simplifies Immensely the Question of Ap- propriate Dress. Many women are simplifying the clothes problem nowadays by includ- ing in their wardrobe one plain tal- lored sult cut on mannish lines and devoid of any suggestion of trimming. So many occasions arise when just such a sult 1s the only appropriate thing to wear if one would not only look smart, but feel perfectly com- fortable as well, that few women can forego the comfort of It. The new materials are indescrib- ably handsome in themselves this spring. Take the hairline striped worsteds, for instance, in the various shades of plum, navy-blue, purple, and gray combined with black. These ma- terials tailor perfectly and lend them- selves so well to the new vogue of trimming with bands of self-material set on contrariwise that they are counted as ultra-smart.—Harper’s Ba- zar, eGo) Winnie ean olrties ‘The young girl's simple frock for school wear is made of light weight wool material or of the serviceable mohair, and designs are most sim- ple with smartness added in the way of plain satin or silk pipings, bands or collars and rows of small buttons. Buttons always give a smart and dashing look when used _plentifully, and dozens of tiny metal buttons, set in rows, are used for the brightening of little girl's dresses. Soft sashes of satin or chiffon, weighted with fringe, are also used on the models designed for young misses in their teens, and these sashes lend a graceful and charming touch. Skirts are usually in tunic style, or with band trimmings that suggest the tunic, and bodices cross over in surplice fashion, fas- tening with cord loops or fancy but- tons, These dark school frocks are made dainty and girlish by the addi- tion of narrow, hand embroidered col- lar and cuff sets, Bishallaci Menbecttery: Richelieu embroidery is a style of work where the figures forming the design are outlined with buttonhole stitch, ‘The material inside the outline is then cut away with sharp-pointed scls. sors and the empty space {s filled in with buttonhole bars, bridges or oth: er fancy stitches. It is an elaborate form of Roman embroidery and is sometimes called “cut work.” It is very durable and exceedingly handsome.

In making a set of round doilies for gifts one woman made the discovery that by stitching narrow hems in the edges with a rather long machine stitch she could very easily crochet nen thread lace on the edges, catch- ing a loop of the linen thread in each machine stitch. ‘A simple wreath of scattered dats- fes and leaves was embroidered on each linen circle, then a two-inch edge of lace, resembling torchon, was cro- cheted about the edge of each. The effect is wonderfully good. The work is easily done, making a charming set for gifta used as a trimming than as an entire covering for hats. A fine exception to this rule {s shown in the hat of black and white striped silk, faced with black velvet, pictured here. The handsome fancy feather carries out the idea of stripes with the monotony destroyed by a mottled white stripe and a base of pure white marabout. The hat is an exquisite piece of millinery art, In the second hat pictured # black crown and white brim are finished with a made quill of white yelvet striped with black soutache braid. Hither of these hats may be worn with almost any sort of gown and upon almost any occasion, They are both smart and practical. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Worth Has Been Primarily Respon- sible for the Great Popularity Accorded This Fashions It would be dificult to estimate the amount of money put into German rhinestones for this season's use on gowns. Worth was a leader in the lavish display of these crystals during September in Paris, and the Amerl- cans have not only brought back gowns that are heavy with these glit tering stones, but the manufacturers have brought back ornaments {n most ingenious shapes made of the strass stones and ask a high price for them. ‘There are bowknots made entirely cf the stones, with danglers from the edges; these are applied to the front of a bodice and sometimes they catch the drapery at the left knee. The short sleeves are made entirely of the stones strung on supple thread; gir dies, wings and medallions are built up of them ready to put at any spot where they will do the most good. Fringes of rhinestones, which are most expensive, are pretty at the edges of bodices and sleeves, and short panels of them are used for the skirt and the back of bodices. So-called necklaces of rhinestones set in silver are sold by the yard to outline the edge of the decolletage, and unless you have seen this you cannot image how attractive {t fs um der the V-shaped decolletage.

All his life he had shied at neck- ties on the theory that if the benef- cent powers above had dowered a man with chin whiskers it was rank extravagance for him to adorn himself with unseen finery. Likewise he could not understand the blind foolishness of masculine individuals who turned from celluloid collars which one could wash daily and thus save unnecessary laundry bills: As for clothes—they were merely required for covering. ‘This, then, was the problem An- toinette Webber had to wrestle with when she came back from boarding school and began to get the family ar- ranged for her wedding. Being a woman, her mother was quite amenable to new ideas, but when Antoinette tackled Jeffrey he figuratively stood up on his hind legs and roared a war cry. “Dress suit!” he choked. “Me! At my age! Cracky! Neyer!” “Now, father,” Antoinette began soothingly, quite as though she held a tablespoontul of bitter medicine in one hand and was prying open his teeth with the other, “I want you to look your best when Horace and his friends get here—" “Look my best!” her father roared again. “Dressed up like a monkey on a stick!” “And you've got to wear a tle,” An- toinette broke in, firmly.

He gloomed around the premises, surveying with a hostile eye the housecleaning prep- arations for the coming wedding and he developed a jumpiness at every- thing unusual and suspicious. Antoinette was in despair. She was marrying into rather a fashionable family and the thought of Horace's college friends and his familly arriv- ing to find that while her father had a heavy bank account he had no sense of sartorial yalues was a tragedy. “Horace and his party won't get here till the day itself,” Antoinette told her mother in one of their hope- less conferences. “They won't notice dad so much then, but in the evening, at the wedding—mother, I'll just die if he wears that baggy old gray sack suit and his celluloid collar and no tle!” : “Then I'm afraid you're due to die, daughter, “said Mrs. Webber, who had ‘been married to Antoinette’s father long enough to know. | “I won't!" snapped Antoinette, with the blind faith of youth in its powers. ‘1’ manage it somehow. I’m not go- Ang to have the only wedding I'll have in my whole life spoiled by father's ridiculous stubbornness!” She and her father eyed each other warily toward the last, like gladiators before the fight. Her father ostenta- tiously bought a new celluloid collar and a fresh ten cent collar button and new pair of calfskin boots. ‘The day of the wedding Antoinette’s father, the only incongruous spot in a refurbished, decorated house, filled with frills and fluff, went upstairs to get ready for the evening's fray. Lay- ing out his new collar and collar but- ton and simply tossing his old gray clothes over a chair, he stepped into the bathroom for his ablutions. He Was absent 20 minutes. \ ‘When ho came back to his room he blinked. On the bed were spread some ‘strange black things, The coat was low cut and had long tails. Patent leather pumps stood fiendishly beside @ pair of silk socks. There were also some weird stand-up linen collars and a box of white ties and a large bosomed shirt. There was nothing else in the way of clothes in the room. Nobody paid any attention to his rayings and poundings, for everybody was dressing the bride or was getting dressed. Choking, gasping, hectic with rage, Antoinette’s father danced in his bathrobe, poking a finger now and then at the hated garments. TWENTIETH AND CHAMPA.

After the ceremony and con- gratulations the bride herself headed a search party for him. Holding her trailing satin skirt in one hand, Antoinette, accompanied by Horace, ran him down at last in the most secluded corner of the haymow. ‘There he sat, hunched up, smoking a pipe fiercely. He had on the clothes, swathed, bunched around him, the dress shirt and the high collar and a’l —but the collar button gleamed defi- antly between the strands of his whis- kers, proclaiming his last stand—no necktie! He glared at his daughter and his newly achieved son-in-law. “Father,” begged the bride tremu- lously, “come down, please! It's time to go in to supper. ‘There's scalloped oysters and—" “P'ye put on these clothes,” her fay ther interrupted her sternly, “because ('m a law abiding citizen and you took the others away, but I'll be everlast- ingly goldurned if I'm going to exhibit myself in ’em before sensible human beings! If you want the wedding check I've written out for you, Antol- nette. you see that I git them oysters ind-other dewdads right out here.” So they compromised on that basis.
