VOL. XVIII. NEGRO GRES The Following are Exerpts from the which recently Appeared in The facts and figures were From time to time during the year the census bureau has issued entertaining information concerning the Negro. The Negro population in the United States in 1910 was 9,828,-294. Of this number 8,749,390, or 89.1 per cent. of the Negro population live in the South. The census reports show that Negroes are not going to the cities as rapidly as the whites are. The white population of cities during the last ten years increased 46.6 per cent. and the Negro population 30.5 per cent The most interesting thing that the census reported during the year concerning the Negro was that Negroes are becoming farmers at more than twice the rate of the whites. From 1900 to 1910 the number of white farmers in the country increased 9 per cent. and the number of Negro farmers 19 per cent. In 1900 there were 767,764 colored farmers. In 1910 there were 917,465 such farmers. The farm labor in the South has occupied a considerable amount of attention during the year, particularly when the census report showed that in many parts of the black belt in the South the population was decreasing. It was suggested that the large plantations be cut up and sold in small tracts to farmers. It was also suggested that emigrants be secured from the North and from Europe. Dr. Booker T. Washington called attention to the importance of landlords and others providing good, comfortable homes for their tenants, having good schoolhouses, good churches and making life in the rural districts safe. Negroes during the year made gains in the field of organized labor. At the 1910 annual meeting of the National Council of the American Federation of Labor a resolution was unanimously passed inviting Negroes and all other races into the labor federation. The officers of the federation were instructed to take measures to see that Negro workmen, as well as workmen of other races were brought into the unions. Following out this policy, steps have been taken to unionize the Negroes working in the Pittsburg district. At New Orleans in October the Negro longshoremen were admitted to the International Longshore- men's Union. Among the 4,000 conductors that recently attended the annual meeting of the National Railway Conductors of America at Jacksonville, Fla., there were four Negroes. At the eighteenth biennial session of the National Association of Letter Carriers, which met at Rechester, N. Y., fifteen Negro delegates were present. NEGRO SECRET SOCIETIES Financially Negro secret societies appear to be very prosperous. The Masonic Grand Lodge of Alabama at its annual meetings reported that $75,949.93 had been received during the year. The colored Odd Fellows of Louisiana paid $36,000 for a three-story brick building in New Orleans. The United Brothers of Friendship erected a $20,000 building at Louisville, Ky. This order in Texas collected during the year $67,459. Fifty-two thousand three hundred and forty-sevn dollars of this amount went to the widows' and orphans' fund. In no state do the secret societies handle more money than they do in Mississippi. At the annual meeting of the Masonic Grand Lodge of that state it was reported that during the year $230,000 had been expended for the payments of endowment benefits and that a balance of $19,000 was on hand. At the recent biennial convention of the Negro Odd Fellows of that state it was reported that during the two years $507,000 had been paid out by the treasurer for the benefit of widows and orphans and that a balance of $78,000 was on hand. The Mississippi societies are not only giving attention to the collection of funds for sickness and death, but are endeavoring to promote the health of the members. In their local and state meetings a considerable amount of time has been devoted to lectures on farming, domestic economy and other subjects have been given by experts from the United States Department of Agriculture and other places. The Knights of Pythias are financially one of the strongest Negro orders in the country. At the biennial session of the Supreme Grand Lodge of the Knights of Pythias which met in August in Indianapolis it was reported that over $1,000,000 had been collected for endowment; that there was in the grand lodge treasury $42,835; that the property owned by the grand lodges was valued at $776, -294.55. The total real estate holdings of the order were valued at $1,500,000. It was decided at the Indianapolis meetings to begin the erection in Chicago of the Pythian Temple to cost between $150,000 and $200,000. Reports show that in 1911 the value of property on which Negroes paid taxes was: In Arkansas, $20,500,000; in Georgia, $32,234, -437; in North Carolina, $28,600,000 in Varginia, $27,000,000, and in Texas, $30,000,000. The total value of property owned by Negroes in the United States is estimated to be about $600,000,000. EDUCATIONAL ADVANCEMENT Negro students have shown ability. Edith Palmer of Philadelphia, won the free scholarship prize to Cornell University. Edward Winthrop Robinson was awarded a scholarship at Amherst College. Bessie Ganner was valedictorian of her class in the Hilburn, N. Y., High School. She finished a four years' course in three years.

Hanker of this city has accepted a position with the Santa Fe Co., as baggage man at Belene, N. Mexico. Rev. A. Richard who has been recently called to pastor the Mt. Olive Baptist church is proving himself to be a Christian gentleman and is making many friends among all classes of citizens in our city. The members of his church are learning to love their new pastor, and we believe that his congregation will receive through his efforts a spiritual revival, that will make this the grandest church in the southweat. All the auxiliaries to the church are looking forward to a successful future. Rev. Richard is making himself felt in our city in church work, and we believe he is the right man in the right place. Mr. and Mrs. H. Bramlett are rejoicing over the arrival of a 10 pound boy, which came last Saturday, to grace their home. Henry is handing out cigars to the boys. Wm. Austin, a lad is making history in the pugilistic world and has a bright future. Austin says he will fight anything southwest his weight. Our city has now three political clubs among the colored voters and each has some following. Never before has the Negro voters had so many clubs and been so badly split up. Just four months ago we were thoroughly united with only one club. The present condition was brought about at the time the selection of our colored delegate-at large on the state exe- RACE NEWS So pleased is Florenz Ziegfeld, Jr., manager of the "Follies of 1911," with the services of Bert A. Williams that last Saturday he signed a three-year contract with the colored comedian. Mr. Williams will have one of the principal parts in the "Follies of 1912," which will be presented at the Jardin de Paris the first week of June. He will be starred in a new comedy by Manager Ziegfeld, commencing the first week in Septem- For the first time in the history of Reno County a case was tried in Hutchinson the other day before a jury composed exclusively of colored men. It was the hearing in Probate Court of the case of Mrs. Martha J. Marshall, a Negro woman, who was being examined as to her sanity. Charles Fulton, deputy probate judge remarked that he never saw a finer set of men on a jury than those six colored men, one of them a doctor, another a minister and a third a law student, and all of them men who have good education and character. It attracted a lot of attention, being a very unusual occurrence in Kansas legal circles. The graduates and former students of Fisk University, Nashville, Tennessee, have organized themselves for a special financial rally on May 1. The occasion of the rally is a $100,000 gift by the Geueral Education Board of New York City to Fisk University on condition that $240,000 more be over $125,000 of the latter amount has been raised or pledged and serious effects are being put forth by the trustees of the school to get the balance. As the alumni and former students of Fisk are scattered by the hundreds all over the country, they are putting forth energies in all their localities to raise the $25,000 that they have fixed upon as the special contribution they desire to make toward the cutive committee was chosen, and the treachery that was practiced in Las Vegas by the Representative caused a confusion and a split that will never be harmonized until that action is rectified. We must have good men with clean records to lead the colored voters. No imported corrupt political tricksters can manage the colored voters of our city. Such men must be forever eliminated, or the Negroes of our city will remain hopelessly divided. NO 25 fund. Thos. J. Calloway, a graduate of Fisk University, with headquarters at 135 T St., N. W., Washington, D.C., is the secretary and active manager of this special effort among the Fisk alumni. Columbus, O., Feb. 20.—W. L. Reid, a colored man who was born in Germany, educated in Germany and Rome, and who speaks twenty-one languages, called on Mayor Karb last week and made application for a position in the city service. He said he had been in a hospital for two years ann is just now sufficiently recovered to take up steady employment. Reid commenced his conversation with the Mayor in German and switched to Italian. He finally stumped the Mayor on French, and later, in the out side office, engaged in conversation in Spanish with a man who knew something of that language. He told the Mayor he was willing to accept any kind of emment and he came well recommend-Reid is a typical Negro in looks and actions. He was born in Munich, Bavaria, in 1866. He is also a nephew of Fred Douglass, who became famous during the war to free the slaves and who was for many years recorder of deeds in the District of Columbia Washington, D. C., Feb. 21. Major John R. Lynch, a retired paymaster of the United States Army, has been sued in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia for $5,800, which his former wife, Mrs. Ella W. Dunham, alleges that she transferred to him in trust at the time of their marriage in 1884. Mrs. Dunham avers that tte property in question was conveyed to Major Lynch in trust for her and her daughter, Miss Alice Lynch. She further alleges a breach of trust and asks the return of her property. Maj. Lynch was married again last August to Miss Cora E. Williams of Chicago. He was at one time a Congressman from Mississippi, and was an influential factor in the politics of that state. He was temporary chairman of the Republican National Convention in 1884, when the late James G. Blaine was nominated for the presidency. Col. Theodore Roosevelt was one of the delegates from New York. After leaving Congress he practiced law in Washington, until his appointment as a paymasser in the army during the Spanish-American war. He was placed on the retired list several months ago, having reached the age limit of 64 years. THE WORLD IN PARAGRAPHS A BRIEF RECORD OF PASSING EVENTS IN THIS AND FOR- EIGN COUNTRIES.

A company of Mexican federal soldiers led by Commissario Calles of Agua Prieta fought a brief battle with the rebel band which raided the Elias ranch at Douglas, Ariz. The rebels retreated under fire, leaving two dead on the field. The municipal government and the labor unions of Spokane have united in a project to form a quasi-municipal bank, which will eliminate the contractor from the municipal work of Spokane, according to a statement issued by the commissioner of public works. In a wreck on the Southern Pacific railroad in west Texas six years ago, James Montgomery, a section hand, rescued a four-year-old daughter of Albert Ambrose of Portland, Ore. Mr. Ambrose died a few weeks ago and in his will he left two tracts of land in Pecos county, Texas, for the section hand.

Japan by 1916 will have wrested the position of third naval power from the United States and this country will have difficulty in maintaining itself in fourth place unless it builds two battleships a year. Secretary Meyer so declared in his testimony before the House naval affairs committee. The secretary urged greater liberality by Congress in dealing with the naval establishment. A request for American intervention in Mexico was made upon the War Department when the mayor and a delegation of citizens of El Paso, Texas, urgently asked Secretary Stimson to sent troops into Juarez to preserve order and to protect Americans. The Washington National Monumental Society has sent letters to the governors of states which have not placed memorial stones in the Washington monument, and urging that these states furnish memorials similar to those already placed there Joe Ketchel, the prize fighter who collapsed after a recent bout with Billy Walters near Waukegan, Ill, died.

The chamber of deputies at Rome passed the bill for the annexation of Tripoli by Italy by a vote of 431 to 38, amid enthusiastic cheering from the floor of the chamber and the public gallery. Jules Vedrines at Pau, France, broke the speed record for monoplanes, flying sixty-two miles in thirty-seven minutes and 124 miles in one hour and fifteen minutes.

Never before in the history of New York has there been such an epidemic of robberies as within the last fortnight. A Shanghai cablegram to Chicago says General Huang, Chinese minister of war, has ordered shot all soldiers found smoking opium. Presidential preference primaries are not proving as popular as had been anticipated. Only seven states will hold such elections. Capt. Theodore F. Townsend, one of the most noted weather experts in this country died at his home at Cape May, N. J. aged seventy-four. John Harmon, a laborer was a victim of the storm in Chicago. His body was found frozen in a snow drift in the yard of his home. Almost the entire $38,000,000 left by John W. Gates goes to his widow, Mrs. Dellora Gates, it was learned when the will of Mr. Gates was filed for probate at Geneva, Ill.

Unprecedented prosperity is being enjoyed by the Philippine islands, principally as a result of free trade between them and the United States, and the cry of "hard times" there no longer can be raised, say the members of the Philippine commission in their report for 1911. The United States has shared in this prosperity by increasing its exports to the archipelago to $49,800,000, or more than $12,500,000 during the year. A blinding snowstorm, backed by a fifty-mile gale swooped down on the Middle West, blocked traffic, played pranks with the routine of human affairs and swept eastward in the direction of northern Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York. A temperature ranging between twenty-nine and twenty-four degrees made the wind and snow bearable and little suffering was reported. Several deaths in wrecks are attributed indirectly to the storm. The storm reached its greatest intensity in Chicago and northern and central Illinois, although eastern Iowa and Missouri, southern Wisconsin, Michigan and Indiana felt the blizzard to a considerable extent. The storm which brought a heavy snow to the Middle Lake region and rain and thunder on a line south of the Ohio river, is moving rapidly eastward. Snow is falling from the Lake Erie region on the north to Kentucky, and below the snow belt there is rain. Mrs. Alice G. Rycroft of New York won a verdict of $170,000 against Henry Clay Pierce, the oil magnate, by a jury in the Supreme Court. She charged that Pierce had obtained possession of her securities, valued at the amount sued for, and had converted them to his own use. COLORADO STATE NEWS Western Newspaper Union News Service.

LIBERIA STARTS ON A NEW ERA The First Detalal avenue of Inauguration---Howard Is President, RASUUSSES IMEURTANT SUR TIONS IN INAUGURAL ADDRESS NATIVE CHIEFS FRIENDLY— NEARLY TWO HUNDRED THOU- SAND NATIVES FROM INTERIOR ATTEND INAUGURAL CERE- MONIES—PROMISE TO WORK FOR REPUBLIC’S GOOD. From a correspondent at Monrovia, Liberia, the first detailed account of the inauguration of the black repub- Mo's new president, Daniel Edward Howard, has been received in this country. . The inaugural ceremonies took place at Monrovia Monday, Jan- uary 1, and Tuesday, January 2, and were imposing. Aside from the prom- inent officials of the republic and rep- resentatives of foreign nations, the spectacle was made more picturesque by the presence of native chiefs, head- men and retainers. It was the first inauguration ever attended by native chiefs, headmen and’ retainers, and their presence was significant. They talked nothing but Peace and prosperity, and promised to do all in their power to make the new administration a highly successful one. Nearly 2,000 natives from the interior Mstened to President Howard advocate that they be given equal rights, and on the second day President Howard and Vice-President Harmon donned sim- ilar attire as worn by the native chiefs, the incident occasioning much good feeling. ‘The new administration promises to mark a new era for the republic. ‘The officials are working together in har- mony; the native chiefs are now for peace instead of war, and taking into consideration that negotilations for re- ceiving the large loan, which was so successfully conducted by the United States government, have been com- pleted, the consensus of opinion in Monrovia is that the country has started on its work of rehabilitation. ‘The prominent officials of the new Liberian administration are: — Pres!- dent, Daniel Edward Howard; vice- president, Samuel George Harmon; secretary of state, C. D. B. King; sec- retary of treasury, Thomas W. Haynes; secretary of war and navy, Wilmot . Dennis; postmaster general, Col. Isaac Moort; secretary of interior, J, J. Morris; attorney general, Samuel A. Ross; Secretary of education, B. W. Payne. Walter 1”. Walker is execu- tive secretary to the president. The inauguration cormmittee was headed by H. J. R. Cooper, chairman of the senate’s committee, and J. J. Ellis, chairman of the house of repre- sensatives’ committee. Among the things sald by President Howard, who succeeded Arthur Bar- clay as chief executive, {1 his inaug- ural address were: “The great American government after a silence, far from forgetting and abandoning the tender infant cast aside upon the shores of Africa, has come in un hour of danger t> assist us on her strong pinions to a nest of safety. If we but follow ber examples and heed her teaching of economy, thrift and industry, and if we are just iu our dealings with men end nations we shall never escape her vigilant eye, nor cease to be the object of marked manifestation of interest on her part, “{ shall do all in my power to main- tain and strengthen the friendly feel- jugs now so happily subsisting between us. . . as well as all the other governments here represented, and I shall expect the co-operation of all citi- zens to that end. 1 am: afraid that some of us are too prone to the be- Nef that foreign powers are our en- emies, and that’some one of them is always seeking some pretext to thwart God’s purposes in the founding of Li- berfa, and to deprive us of our most sacred heritage. To any mind, how- ever, our real enemies, our most subtle foes, our most potent drawback, lle within and among some of our loud- est professed patriots. Liberia must attain to the position of a prosperous African state, and her sons and daugh- ters are to be the agents to bring this about. Let us, therefore, go to work and do what we contend we are capa- ble of doing. Let each one do his part, for {t is only by the concentrated efforts of the whole that success can be achieved. “Our school system needs reorganiz- ing and perfecting from the bottom up.

Sec- and, {t has been of incalculable bene- fit to the country in preparing and sending out useful men and women ever since its founding, and but for several reasons at this age of the in- stitution {t would have realized all that was ever contemplated of it in {ts founding. “The agricultural development ot the country shall be among our chief concerns and shall engage our most serlous attention. With that object in view we feel that it is imperative to inaugurate what may be called a labor bureau, or a system whereby labor may be engaged under govern: ment protection. To this end the cre- ation and appointment of two or more labor agents in Montserrado county on each bank of the St. Paul river should be considered. These agents should be charged with the duty of receiving all laborers who may come down from the interior and hiring them out to the farmers under prop er guarantee of payment for services. “The executive government, through the interior department, will hold con- ferences with the chiefs of the dif- ferent sections in the county from which labor {s recruited, explain to them the policy and object of the gov- ernment to have them furnish labor- ers regularly, also of the government's firm determination to see that each la borer is justly paid for his services. Each chief so interesting himself to supply laborers from his section should receive an annual stipend from the government or a fixed sum per capita for each laborer furnished. A law respecting the government's se- curing the pay of the laborers should be so framed that nothing, not even the homestead exemption, shall pre- vent the government from entering suits, if occasion requires, to raise the sum due each employer should be fail to pay a laborer at the prop- er time any amount due him. “ The financial agreement recently concluded between the government of Liberia and certain American and European capitalists through the kindly assistance of the state depart: ment at Washingtok, it is needless to say, has my strongest endorsement and approval. The new administra. ton pledges itself to observe strict- ly* all of its provisions and to at- ford all necessary facilities for its smooth and effective operation. “The agreement, though in some re- spects it may appear to place a little restriction upon us in the manage- ment, collection and control of our customs revenues, yet in its political bearings, I am sure, will prove to be of incalculable benefit to the repub- lc. Hence {t becomes the solemn and imperative duty of every citizen to glye his individual support to the government in its efforts to initiate and prosecute such a meas- ure, which must tend to our national preservation and secur- ity. If the temporary manage- ment {n the hands of others of a part of our government machinery will result in actual and permanent inde- pendence and {international respect, which I firmly belleve will be the out- come, then it becomes our imperative duty as patriotic citizens to make such a necessary and noble sacrifice. Daniel Edward Howard, who was elected president of Liberia May 2, 1911, and inaugurated the first of the year, was born in Monrovia, August 4, 1861, While quite an infant his moth- er died and a grand aunt wés entrust- ed with his care. The new president's father was the late Thomas W. How- ard, who for over twenty-five years was chief government printer, and during several political campaigns chairman and leader of the Whig par- ty. The Howards belong to one of the old pioneer families associated with the historical Elijah Johnson. The first school ever attended by Mr. Howard was the Methodist Sem- inary at Monrovia, now the College of West Africa. Later he entered the preparatory department of Liberia Col- lege and matriculated in the college proper during the presidency of Prof. Martin H. Freeman. While attending college Mr. Howard worked at tho printing trade until Dr. Edward W. Blyden took charge of Liberia Col- lege, who made a rule that students would either have to give their whole time to study or leave the institution. Soon afterwards he was compelled to quit college. When the late President Hilary Johnson entered office he employed Mr. Howard as his private secretary, in which capacity he served the entire eight years of Johnson's administra- tion. President Johnson was so at- tached to the young man that in 1886 he appointed him clerk of the supe- rior court of Montwerrado county and A DISTINCTION. “Go the bank teller has disappeared.

MORE YOUNG COLORED MEN SHOULD HEED THE CALL OF THE LAW Races and nations, like Individuals, during the centuries of their develop- ment and growth, show a decided predilection toward perfect attainment along certain lines in preference to others. The Grecians developed most pronouncedly in art and in letters; the Romans in statecraft. Among na- tions in our day, the English are the. model law-enforcers ot the globe; the Germans are the world’s philosophers; the French are smartest in art, dress, society and frivolity; the Italians are the pacemakers in’ music; and the Americans are distinguished as the highest development of frenzied finan- clers, Among races, the Caucasians are the world’s -premter builders, inyen- tors and discoverers; the Chinese show most tenacity in adhering to customs that are centuries old; the Japanese are peerless in successful Imitation; the American Indians are the most fearless and cunning of na- ture’s children; and up to the pres- ent stage of thelr development, the negroes of America and Africa have shown themselves to be the humblest, most patient and long-suffering of all humankind—qualities not to be de- spised, for the Christ has sald, “the meek shall inherit the earth.” What the negroes’ most pronounced lean- ings will be during future decades of their evolution, is a puzzling ques- tion. A onesided development 1s not de- sirable in race or Individual. Indeed, such development may prove to be fraught with grave dangers. For our part we are anxious that every essen- tial line of preparation and training for a people should be stressed in Keeping with its Importance to our future well being. In the early years of our freedom tt was deemed wise to center our forces on getting together a Christian min- istry of ample numbers to take care of the race's religious training. The numbers having been secured, we turned our attentions, assisted of course by our white friends, toward Ancreasing the efficiency and adding to the preparation of that ministry. In more recent years there was begun the awakening of our young men to the necessity of preparation for the practice of medicine that our physical Ms might be attended by those within our ranks; and today large numbers of our young men are turning thelr: attentions to this line of professional preparation. ‘The time is now here for corralling ‘the largest possible number of candi- dates to prepare for the practice of Inw. The opportunities for racial help offered in this field of endeavor are not being realized with sufficient welght. _ “The white men chosen from time to, time to make and administer the laws of the several commonwealths of these United States, so far know In- timately only the depraved, ignorant, vicfous negroes—those who help to keep the court dockets filled. To the minds of these men there Is but a small per cent. of worthy, law-abiding negro citizenry. How are they ever to become better acquainted with us? How are they ever to realize that a surprisingly large per cent. of our people are worthy of citizenship? As we see it a direct means for bringing about civic recognition from them, in many states of these United States, lies in the production and develop: ment of able colored law practitioners to serve us at the bar of justice— men who will by thelr practice In jur- {sprudence and their conduct as bar- risters, focus the attention of the law- manipulators of the other race on ne- groes of ability and worth in the community. To accomplish this would be a step toward the ends we seek. ‘The leading objection brought for- ward to discourage those of our youth who would prepare as lawyers, is that the colored lawyer cannot attain em!- nence as a court practitioner or as a criminal lawyer. Grant that practical- ly none of them can do so. It must be admitted that they can, if they will, become successful and able as civil attorneys and. counselors-at-law, which generally must come before attaining success In the courts; and even this alone 1s 2 consummatjon de- voutly to be wished for by any one entering upon the practice of law. Exploited, swindled and misused as are large numbers of this country’s colored citizens, lawyers of color to help them steer clear of these ills, are a pronounced necessity. Eyen in the field of politics Is there some promise of careers for some ne- gro attorneys. What better example can we give than this achievements of onr own Willlam H. Lewis, day. before-yesterday a student at Harvard, yesterday a practicing attorney, today assistant attorney general of the Un! ted States. What might not a negro | today he holds the highest positfon under this government yet occupled by @ citizen of color. The young man who’ feela an im- pelling call to the law, if he has the proper literary foundation, may by studying at home books especially pro pared, or by reading law under the direction of a successful lawyer, fit himself within a few years for admit: tance to the bar, Correspondence schools have courses prepared that fully meet all needs of preparation. Any one with the means for attending college can find here in the south well equipped law departments run in con: nection with some of our best educa tional institutions, and after taking # course in one of these, he may ff he desires round out his preparation in the Inw school of some northern unt: versity. With negro towns being promoted here and there, giving promise of negro cities in time not far distant, young women of the race so inclined may yet have the opportunity of en- tering upon the practice of law in communities and under influences est calculated to give them large op portunities for development as legal lights, state laws affecting such a mat- ter of course being taken into con: sideration. Colored young men, guick of mental grasp and sharp of wit, must dream their dreams of acquiring power in the legal life of this nation. An army of negro lawyers of strong hearts, cool heads, and sane In judg: ment, is needed. Every young man who feels the call of the law should resolve to get the preparation re- quired and enlist for a man’s part in some of the legal battles of the future. NEGRO SIGNS NAME; WHITE MAN HIS X SERMON ON ILLITERACY AND NEGLECTED OPPORTUNITIES FOUND IN FEDERAL CLERK'S OFFICE WHEN TWO PRISONERS LEAVE JAIL AND SWEAR OFF Atlanta—Two federal _ prisoners were brought into Clerk 0. C. Ful. ler’s office to swear off their fines of $100 each. The men were BE, L, Blalock of Gwinnett county, white, and Sol. Wil Mams of Cobb county, a negro. Both had served short terms In the Fulton county jail and being unable to pay their fines went through the cus tomary formalities of swearing that they possessed not over $20 which could be used to pay the fine. “Mr. Blalock,” called Clerk Fuller, and he administered the customary oath. “Sign your name right here,” con: tinued the clerk. “aw, I can't write my name,” re pMea-the man in a natural tone, as { such a thing were an every-day occur rence, and the clerk wrote the name and let Blalock touch the pen as he put the cross underneath the neces sary “his mark” | “All right, Sol,” called out the clerk as he told Blalock he might go. ‘The negro, who appeared to be an ordinary country negro took the oath and wrote in a fairly legible hand us full name, “Solomon Williams,” bow- ed to Mr. Fuller and left the office. “Do you know that is one of the commonest things up here that hap- pens in my office and one of the most —well, disgusting,” Clerk Fuller add: ed after pausing for the right word. “Nearly every negro, young and old, who comes before me can at least sign his name, and yet we have a number of white men from the coun- try districts who can't write their names and who don’t seem to feel the least embarrassment about saying 50. “That negro man is over 50 years old and that white man is not 25. The negto grew to manhood when an edu- cation was far harder to get than it is now, and the white man has today every chance in the world to overcome his ignorance and lack of knowledge it he but had the ambition and pride to do so.” “Now, there's a sermon in illiteracy and the need of a compulsory educa- tion law, A white man who couldn't write his name—and in jail. ‘A few years ago negro poets and novelists were represented very near- ly every month {n some one of the great magazines,” says T. Thomas Fortune, “but now we seldom find one of them so represented. Scattered through our own newspapers, how- ever, we find many contributions of prose and verse that are worthy, and that foreshadow a good and plenteous literary harvest in fullness of time. The race has plenty of tmagination in the crude, with which the refining processes are busy. In music, both vocal and in composition, we have made and are making a place on the dramatic stage, in Europe and Amer- ica, of the most encouraging charac- ter; and this has been accomplished in the past decade, which {t took the preceding twenty years of prepara- tion to make possible. “The chid is father to the man,’ and great results are the products of small beginnings.” FRATERNAL AFFECTION, Recruiting Sergeant—Why do you say you won't enlist unless you're sent to the Seventy-fifth infantry? ‘Tim Geoghegan—Beca’se I want to be near me brother that’s in th’ Sey- enty-sixt’-—Harper’s Weekly. : THE x x = ; MONARCH LIQUOR : : COMPANY : x x : Fra, : © TELEPHONE py Sy) 1516 x = cHAMPA 1231 4 Gs BS By court place sd DO Ze Q ens : M IMPORTED & DOMESTIC WINES & LIQUORS & eC) 22852 0808008050805050503 Cc clin ii iia iti iia inti ain ill alin : D.

Republican organiza- tions of any character have no reason upon which they can desert a President who has so thoroughly fulfilled party platform promiges as has President Taft. It should be left entirely to the national convention to decide the -necessity or the expediency for a change of leaders, and the fight for dele- gates should not be prejudiced by a disloyalty which would amount to a confession of party failure. No such failure is apparent and no conviction of any such failure exists in the minds of loyal Republicans. A choice between individual candidates before the convention is the natural business of the convention, and that con- vention, however made up, may be trusted to recognize the prevailing needs for the party’s ultimate success at the polls. Whatever is best will be there accomplished, but the first necessary step is the confident endorsement of the existing administration. THE RECALL OF JUDGES. PRESIDENT TAFT has declared several times that he is absolutely op- posed to the principle of the recall, especially as proposed to be applied to the judiciary, but as a peculiar combination of circumstances has just led him, unwittingly, to put this exact principle into practice, there are now good grounds to presume that his convictions upon the subject were not so absolute as he himself supposed. ‘The President has just filled the vacancy on the United States Supreme Court bench caused by the death of Justice John M. Harlan, by appointing Mahlon Pitney, chancellor of the state of New Jersey, to that important position, But it is confidently asserted, upon trustworthy authority, that Chancellor Pitney was not President Taft's first choice, and, in fact, that he never would have been sought out but for the circumstances to which we have already alluded. About six or eight weeks ago it was considered about settled that the appointment would go to Judge William C. Hook of the United States Circuit Court, whose jurisdiction included the state of Okla- homa, and for whom President Taft entertained very high regard. But it happened that Judge Hook had, not long since, decided two important cases in which the rights of certain classes of citizens were involved, as against the desires of other influential classes or interests of rather selfish char acter, and in each case he had interpreted the law in favor of those selfish interests, through which the equal rights of all citizens are often judicially confused. One case Involved the 2-cent fare law in Oklahoma, and was decided in favor of the railroads; the other case decided the constitutionality of the Oklahoma “Jim Crow” car law, and saddled a disgraceful condition upon the colored citizens of that state. Naturally, interested Oklahomans in general and colored citizens all over the country in particular registered vig- orous protests against Judge Hook’s appointment to the Supreme Court bench. With these decisions to show conclusively the bent of his judicial mind in matters wherein the rights of the individual come in conflict with cor- porate or other powerful and selfish desires, the people most interested had little regard for Judge Hook's general Jegal acumen, or for those other high qualities which had won the admiration and respect of President Taft, and they lost no time in throwing the combined weight of their distrust against the confidence and asserted good intentions of the President. At just this time the President could not afford to ignore the bitter and well-founded protests of a large class of citizens whose ideas of equal liberty had not entered into his general survey of the judicial capacity of his intended ap- pointee, nor could be afford to become responsible for or in any way seem- ingly endorse, that intended appointees’ opinions upon such personally vital matters. Consequently he recalled the appointment upon which he had virtually decided, Judge Hook was shelved to appease protesting colored citizens. The principle of the recall was practically vindicated, even against ‘the judiciary, President Taft himself merely executing the power which the recall proposes to vest in a majority of the people. ‘The dissent of the people and the rescinding of the authority of the judge constitutes the recall, and President Taft may now be considered a convert, tae Weil D: ad | Brings ions By COURTENAY LEIGH, San Francisco | IX years ago I overheard the following conversation between two classmates of a western university, who met on a strange campus: a “Why don’t you go out?” said the woman. ies “I’m too poor to dress well,” explained the man. 2 2 “Too poor to dress well!” repeated the woman. “Why, I WAL || am too poor not to dress well!” Dd I watched them as they passed out of hearing—the woman : erect and radiant in a perfect white linen suit, the man dingy and apologetic in a frayed and shiny reach-me-down of anti- quated cut. The woman is now dean in a great college, earning three times the salary of the man, She is still too poor not to dress well. Our appearance is all most people know of us. Think over our ac- quaintances. Are not all but a scant half-dozen represented by certain symbols as “tight skirt, loads of false hair,” “old man with black skull cap,” “pretty complexion and clean shirt waists,” “squeaky shoes and a celluloid collar?” The complex mass of traits and talents which might endear or render odious the persons within this outer husk is obscured by these visible signs. Barring onions or blueberry pie, what difference can it make to us whether they dined on baked beans at a cafeteria or singing birds’ tongues at the St. Francis? But I have known an estimable man to be refused in marriage because he had warts on his hands, while his too large hat bent the tops of his ears, and a brilliant girl dismissed from a great institution because she persisted in trying to write in a trained skirt. The good opinion of our fellows we must have or we perish. True, if we are starving we cease to care, but we shall not starve if we take thought and chew. By dint of infinite chewing a very little coarse food will nourish us and the coarser it is and the longer we chew it the more will our facial muscles be developed, our good looks increased, and consequently the approbation of our neighbors. It has been noted in a report of the Brit- ich government that many weak-chinned youths turn to manly strength and beauty after a few years of masticating hard tack. ‘The pleasure of eating is transitory; the joy of looking well abides.

On account of the severe censorship most of the films are clean, moral and would not offend even the most refined taste. More could be taught by pictures in a very short amount of time than could be taught by our greatest professors and teachers in a much longer time. We don’t stop to consider the vast amount of money, time and talent used in making these pictures. A subject rarely if ever costs less than several thousand dollars to produce and they sometimes run as high as $100,000, because the best actors obtainable are used to make them, and many very dangerous places are visited.

Weil Dressing Brings Peace of Mind Motion pictures are not used as much as they ought to be in public schools and institutions. A motion picture outfit wouldn’t cost a very great amount of money to install in every grammar and high school, and once installed the cost of friaintaining it wouid be insignificant. The getting of proper subjects or films would be an easy matter, especially such subjects as pertain directly to our school work, ‘The works of almost every great author and poet are now portrayed in motion pic- tures. Every corner of the world. is put Every question may have two sides, but these sides may not always balance. In this instance my observations lead me to favor “skimping” in clothing rather than eating.

PHONE MAIN 4610 2231 Washington St. Denver A UTOPIAN PRAYER A Sermon Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.—Matt. 6:10. We are in the habit of ridiculing Utopia and the Utopians. If we take visionaries and dreamers at all seriously, we are inclined to regard them only with patronizing pity. They are so impractical, they are ahead of their times and they are neither safe nor sane. They will do for the future and for the millennium, but they will not do now. But, alas, for our consistency, for most of us are repeatedly offering the most Utopian prayer that has ever been spoken by human lips, and this is that prayer: "Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven." Let us ask ourselves two questions: First, what does this prayer mean? Second, what are we going to do about it? First, what does this prayer mean? I take it that the prayer means literally what it says. It means literally "Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven." Thau is to say, it means that men and women, just plain mortals, shall do God's will here on earth as God's will is done by angels in heaven. It means that God's will shall be done in the home, in the theater, in the store, in the counting house, in Wall street, in office, in factory, in legislative chambers and in government. It is a prayer that we may on earth see human society organized according to the will of God. It is a prayer that God's will shall be done in the heart of each individual and in every sphere of human activity, and that there shall be the same love, the same co-operation, the same spirit of helpfulness, the same beauty and joy and sweetness and light among men on earth as there is among the angels of heaven. Is such a thought as this wild, visionary, Utopian? I do not know. I simply know what the Lord's Prayer says, and I know, too, that if God's will is to be done in earth as it is in heaven, there will have to be some very radical changes made in the church, in business, in politics, in government and in industry. We may as well face the fact the prayer is altogether Utopian. And if we offer that prayer genuinely from the heart, with a sincere desire to have it answered, we, too, become Utopians, visionaries, dreamers, seekers after an impractical ideal, unsafe and insane, according to the common judgment of the world. Second, what are we going to do about it? Naturally, we should suppose that those of us who are so frequently offering this Utopian prayer ought to practice what we pray by doing God's will ourselves and by working for the actual realization of God's kingdom on earth. Unhappily, many who are today praying that God's will be done in earth as it is in heaven will tomorrow plunge greedily and selfishly into the world's work as though God's will had absolutely nothing to do with politics, finance, business or industry. But the Lord's Prayer is not merely for Sunday use; it is for daily use. And in order that this Utopian prayer may be answered and its lofty ideal realized we who offer the prayer must ourselves do God's will in our daily work. The workman must do his best work. The merchant must do an honest business. The manufacturer must treat his employees right. All must learn that they are serving others and not simply squeezing money out of people. For it is God's will that we shall all work together co-operate with each other and minis ter to each other's needs, as children of God, as one great human brother hood. As individuals we must do God's will, but we must also reconstruct the social order, if God's will is to be done in earth as it is in heaven. We are called to render a social service. We must put away those evils and unjust conditions that needlessly destroy human life and that crush and stunt the souls of men. We have done something along this line; some of us have been working bravely and well, and more and more there is an added emphasis on the need of social betterment. But, after all, what we are really doing is little indeed. We bestow a little charity here and there, and we are satisfied. We are tinkering timidly at the job of reform when we ought to be going at the work resolutely and fearlessly, with expert knowledge at our command, and with a zeal to work with God in establishing that for which Christians—and others—have been praying these many centuries: "The kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven." We are putting bits of patches of new cloth on garments. We are dealing to gingerly with the vital problems of our times; we are not, as a Christian people, getting down to the things that are fundamental. Our efforts to get rid of corruption in politics, our endeavors to control the great corporations, our attempts to solve the industrial problems, are all too timid. We talk bravely, but we are afraid to take the necessary drastic measures. Suggest any kind of reforms and we say at once that it is dangerous to undertake them. In the church we are chiefly concerned for "peace and harmony;" in business we are after profits. We must not imperil either by any of our Utopian schemes. But there is the Lord's Prayer, and it is Utopian: "The kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven." We must do better than we have been doing or stop praying. If this, then, is Christ's own dream, and if this be the meaning of the prayer he has taught us, we, as true followers of Christ, can do nothing more or less than accept the prayer in its real meaning and work honestly and sincerely for the fulfillment of the kingdom of God. If the prayer is Utopian, we shall simply have to become Utopians and make the best of it—let foolish people say what they will. If there is any disgrace in the word Utopia, it is we who have put it there; we have put it there by our own sn, our selfishness and by our lack of genuine Christian faith. It is an affront to God that we should ever look with disdain upon the thought of an ideal social order. Utopia, the millennium, the kingdom of God, are all one and the same. God's great thought, the dream of God's greatest prophets, the vision of God's own son. It is not imaginary, it is not impractical; for nothing stands in the way of its accomplishment except our own selfishness and the lack of faith and will to do. God has opened the way, he has revealed the truth, he has made us see the vision, and we have at hand everything we need for the building of the kingdom of God. We can do marvelous things if only we are committed to the cause. God's kingdom is coming; that is certain, or Christ would never have asked us to pray for it. Already we see signs of its approach. The spirit of the people is awakening to larger ideals of political righteousness, social service, economic justice, commercial honesty and industrial equity. There is unrest, there is uncertainty, there is hesitancy, there is disturbance; but these are evidences of nobler impulses on the part of man, human responses to the mighty tides of the spirit of God. Before we are through there will be mightier revelations of God's power. God will speak in judgment on those who oppose his will, and all that is unrighteous shall perish. Men who esteem themselves mighty will tremble with fear, some of our cherished institutions will fall to the ground, the church will shake on its foundations, the counsels of men will come to naught, selfish materialism and cruel greed will be judged, humanity will be purged as with fire and God will make it known that his kingdom must be established. Happy shall those be who in that day shall be found on the side of truth and righteousness, their hearts afame with a vision of the kingdom of God, praying earnestly that God's will be done in earth as it is in heaven, and seeking faithfully "first the kingdom of God and his righteousness." Thy kingdom come! And shall not each one sing it, On land and sea where'er His banner goes? Thy kingdom come! Shall we not strive to bring it. PLAN EDUCATIONAL CAMPAIGN GREAT TRIP THROUGH FLORIDA TO BE MADE BY BOOKER T. WASHINGTON AND PARTY. Dr. Booker T. Washington, together with a number of prominent colored people in Florida, and out of Florida, is planning to make an educational campaign through the state of Florida. In some respects this will be the most important educational trips that Dr. Washington has made. M. M. Lewey of Pensacola, Fla., president of the Florida State Negro Business League, is in charge of the trip, and is being liberally assisted by prominent colored people in every part of Florida. Aside from prominent colored people in Florida who will accompany Dr. Washington, the Florida business men have also invited the persons who have been in charge of Dr. Washington's tours in other states. Those who have accepted invitations from outside of Florida include such prominent persons as Hon. J. C. Napler, register of the U. S. treasury, Washington, D. C.; Maj. R. R. Moton, of Hampton Institute, Va.; W. T. B. Williams, field secretary of the John F. Slater Fund; Dr. George C. Hall of Chicago; the Rev. Richard Carroll, editor of the Ploughman, Columbia, S. C.; John Merrick and C. C. Spaulding of the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Insurance Company, Durham, N. C.; Dr. S. G. Elbert of Wilmington, Del.; Dr. M. W. Gilbert of Selma University, Selma, Ala.; Bishop George W. Clinton of the A. M. E. Zion Church, Charlotte, N. C.; W. T. Andrews, editor of the Defender, Sumter, S. C.; J. B. Bell, the wealthy real estate man of Houston, Tex.; and R. L. Smith, president of the Farmers' Improvement Society of Texas. Already both men and women at the points to be touched in Florida are hard at work with their preparations. It is expected that Dr. Washington will speak briefly at many points where the train will stop for a few minutes, aside from the points already scheduled. RARE LUCK. Mrs. Bloomer—It's shameful!

NOTED QUARTET OF PUGILISTS THE HEAVYWEIGHT DIVISION CHAMPION JACK JOHNSON IS MATCHED TO MEET JIM FLYNN, HIS MOST FORMIDABLE OPPONENT, IN JULY-EVENTS IN WHICH LANGFORD, JEANNETTE AND SAM M'VEY HAVE TAKEN PART. New York.—It is a fact worthy of note that in most walks of life in which individual achievements stand out boldly and above the ordinary the Afro-American is to be found among the foremost. Some have won fame in literature, some as educators and others are noted for special skill in the various professions. For the opportunity afforded to engage in business along many lines a large majority are successful. But the specific purpose of this comment is to call attention to a quartet of men whose physical prowess has placed them in the lead of all others in their profession without regard to race or creed. They are Jack Johnson, Sam Langford, Joe Jeannette and Sam McVey. These four men are the leading characters in the heavyweight division of pugilism. In the common commercial parlance we would say they have cornered the market. Jack Johnson, the acknowledged heavyweight champion pugilist of the world, is the center of attraction at the present time in view of the fact that he is matched to fight Jim Flynn some time in July. Flynn is said to be the champion's most formidable white opponent who has the nerve to sign articles of agreement to face Johnson in the ring. Jack Johnson was the first of his class among the colored fighters, to appear upon the scene after the passing of Peter Jackson. His career as a prizefighter began in Chicago in 1899. He has had a most interesting career. His physical strength, coupled with his knowledge, experience and skill, makes all aspirants for the heavyweight championship title stand in fear of him. He is yet young, ambitious, artful and fearless. If he continues to use good common sense he will long be the world's champion, the pride of his race in this particular and the idol of sporting men the world over. Of the other three it can be said in brief that Langford received his first lessons in boxing from Jim Walsh in 1901 and has been in the fighting arena ever since. McVey appeared upon the scene two years later, and in 1904 Joe Jeannette offered himself as a fit subject to receive punishment from fistic encounters. Johnson, Langford and Jeannette, the notable big trio, have fought each other many times. Sam McVey for some reason has resided in Paris and other parts of Europe most of the time. A summary of events in which the four men have taken part reduced to a common denominator would read thus: Jeannette and Johnson have battled seven times. Joe won once on a foul, and Jack won one decision. The other fight was a draw, and no decisions were rendered in the other five. Johnson has boxed McVey twice. He beat him on both occasions. Jeannette met McVey four times. The first battle went ten rounds to "no decision." Jeannette won the decision in the next one over a twenty round course. The third contest lasted fifty-one rounds. McVey being knocked out. Shortly after they fought thirty rounds. The decision was a draw. Langford and Jeannette have met about eight times, with varying results. Generally Langford won, but Jeannette had an edge the last time they clashed, which was in September, in New York. Langford and McVey have come together twice. Last April they fought a twenty round draw in Paris. Recently McVey got a decision over Boston Sam in twenty rounds at Sydney. WORK OF THE LEAGUE NATIONAL ORGANIZER CHARLES T. MOORE TELLS OF NEGRO BUSINESS INSTITUTIONS IN EXISTENCE. Turkegeep, Ala.—"Since the organization of the National Business league 12 years ago by Booker T. Washington, president, the negro banks have been increased from two to fifty-six. These banks worked last year on an approximate capitalization of $1,700,000 and transacted a volume of business aggregating $2,000,000. There are 40 negro insurance companies whose business last year amounted to $1,500,000. Perhaps the largest volume of business was done by an insurance company with headquarters in Durham, N. C. That company had $80,000 reserve fund and reported a surplus deposit of about $30,000 in different banks at the meeting held in December. Our National league now keeps tab on about 25,000 places of business managed by negroes, including a hosiery mill, a cotton mill, a shirt factory, an oil mill, furniture stores, tanneries, lumber dealers, dry goods stores, shoe stores, haberdashers, groceries, etc., besides hundreds of farmers. NEGRO FARMERS SHOW EACH OTHER'S PATH TO WEALTH Tuskegee, Ala.—According to statements made at the annual Tuskegee conference here there are 150,000 more negro farmers in the south than 10 years ago and the negroes have had a large share in adding 21,000 000 acres to the improved land of the south. More than 3,000 farmers were present to hear the discussions. The product of the negro farmers in Alabama last year is estimated at $40,000,000, which those in attendance were told was the negro's actual contribution to the wealth of the south. The conference was held in the halls of the institute and Dr. Booker Washington presided. On the walls were mottoes. Some of them read: "Repair old plows and farm tools on rainy days," "Now is the time to begin to save something," and advice about the care of stock and "Living at Home," by raising all that was necessary for the family to eat. The conference was the elimax of a short course in agriculture conducted at the institute by teachers of the school and Federal Demonstrators Thomas M. Campbell and Washington Tate, negroes, and William Rakestraw, conference agent of the talks of the negro farmers, white landlords and expert farmers, were the exhibits of produce from negro's farms, free entertainment at the institute, free distribution at morning and evening papers and free care for stock brought for exhibit or as motive power of the visitor. The conference was classed as one of the best ever held in the south. But the real feature was the heart to heart talk of the negro farmers to each other. Many of them told how they had started in a swamp with nothing and subsisted on a hop and corn meal while preparing their land for cultivation and how they now own their own homes and—and while very few referred to totals, it is known that a number of them could have said with accuracy that their holdings are listed for taxation with five figures. Principal Washington in his opening address dwelt chiefly upon the white and black farmers and honesty between tenant and landlord, and he scored the negroes who rent land and move away before the crop is made, or sell all their cotton when they have pledged to pay rent in the staple. W. W. Thompson, a white planter, proved conditions on his estate since he offered prizes for the best kept homes, the most productive gardens, the best kept ditches, and the biggest yield of cotton from a one-horse farm. The need of better school buildings was a prominent topic and farmers who could not read the newspapers given them advised their neighbors "to chip in and build a school in your neighborhood, to be sure of a teacher sent there." Reports indicate that the negro farmers are spending thousands of dollars annually building school houses in the rural districts. The last day's session was devoted to "How We Can Save." "Buy More Land" was the burden of the reply. It was stated that the negroes of the south were earning $500,000,000 annually and of this they would save $15,000,000 or $20,000,000. "Stick to the soil" was the advice. Between $15,000,000 and $25,000,000 worth of real estate in Pennsylvania is owned by negroes, according to the forthcoming annual report of John L. Rockey, chief of the bureau of industrial statistics in the department of internal affairs. In the 47 wards of Philadelphia negroes own a total of 1,080 parcels of taxable real estate, and exclusive of non-taxable property, with a total tax valuation of $2,801,275. Among the places in which the largest number of properties are held with the market value of each, are Williamsport, 93, $70,000; Washington, 95, $327,050; Carlisle, 81, $309,500; Darby, 69, $119,300; Scranton, 11, $165,000; Meadville, 27, $38,100; Lewiston, 22, $38,750; Franklin 20, $31,700; Uniontown, 21, $33,325; Ardmore, 24, $96,400; Harrisburg (two wards), 41, $66,800; Langhorne, 26, $22,400; Lancaster, 25, $73,000; Norwood, 8, $115,100; Chester, (two wards), 14, $28,000; Bristol, 17, $11,770; Sewickley, 11, $32-500; Braddock, 35, $156,700; Reading, 18, $62,750; Reading, 18, $62,750; Greee 18, $62,750; Greensburg, 18, $27,900; Three Tuns, 32, $4500; Elizabeth, 28, $32,900. PROFOUND LINGUIST. There had been a fatal accident at the railroad crossing in a little Pennsylvania town, and the coroner, a pompous old fellow, who magnified conscientiously both his office and its incumbent, had impaneled a jury for the inquest. There was only one witness of the accident, an illiterate Slav from the coal mines, who could understand no English. With him the coroner began to struggle. "Can you speak German?" he asked. The man shook his head. "Can you speak Italian?" continued the official. Again the man shook his head. "Can you speak Hungarian?" The same response. "Can you speak Russian?" finally asked the coroner. Again the man shook his head. "It's no use, gentlemen," said the coroner, turning to the jury. "We can't proceed with the case. I've spoken to this man in five different languages and can't make him understand me."—Philadelphia Record.

ENGRAVERS-PRINTERS CUTS TAULKE DENVER, COLO AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS "Marriage," said a negro preacher, addressing his congregation, "is a mighty serious affair, specially fur de man. Dar was Peter an' John. Da wasn't married'n men. Peter wouldn't hab married de daughter ob de gubner, an' John he wouldn't hab jined han' wid de prosecutin' 'turney's arnly chile. Dem men was smart, lemme tell yer. Day had hoss sense. Look at all de big men in de Bible what did not get married. Samson, he got married, an' his ole wife paralyzed him. Then Job he got married, an' dinged if de 'oman didn't want him ter cuss God an' die. She didn't care so much 'bout him cussin' God; de dying part was what she was arter. She was a bad 'oman an' would hab got any man inter trouble. Yer all know de story ob Adam. S'pozen he hadn't got married. He'd er done well, lemme tell yer. It was marryin' dat broke him up in business. I might go on ds way citin' facks till your har' would turn white, an' still you young folks would keep on a tinkin' 'bout getting married. Yer's got de notion in yer head, somehow, an' no amount ob reason will get it out." Just then the old man's wife entered the church. "Yas," he continued, "as I was saying, there is nothing' like marryin' a good 'oman. Ef I had nebber married but onct an' had happened to cotch her first my happiness in ds life would have been as eternal as the flowin' of the spring er de glorious rising of the sun. Ise in fabor ob marriage, I is, an' when Paul says, 'He what marries does well,' right dar I agrees wid him." "Hole on dar," exclaimed the old man's wife. "A pusson come up ter de house jez now an' said dat yer was down heath ginnin me a mighty blast afore all dese people." "Dat am de wust fabrication, chille, what I eber hear. I'se been stand' here complimentin' yer fur de las' fifteen minutes, an' I's sorry now dat yer wan't here. It would have done yer good. Yes, bredern, if Samson had married de righ 'oman he might had been libin' till yet an' enjoyin' hisse' on de fat ob de laan'. An' dar' s Job. Ef he had married a good 'oman, like my wife, fur instance, she would n't had 'vised him ter cuss God' but—" His wife stepped from the door, and the old man, observing the movement, continued. "She would have hustled him outen de bed an' made him chop wood an' fetch water. As I'se got ter go now an' watch dat smokehouse, de congregation will be dismissed."—Ex. Real fatherhood as realized by man does not consist in mere physical relationship. Nor is it physical likeness. A person may be physically the son of another; but if all ties of affection are lost, he is as though he were not a son. Affection is all. There may be two children who are in the same family—one a son by nature, the other by adoption. Suppose the son by nature grows up out of all sympathy with the parents. He follows paths directly opposite to those wished for by the parents. He is a continual sorrow to them. But the adopted son grows up in sympathy with the family. He honors its name, sacrifices for it and, instead of bringing to it sorrow, he brings to it honor. This one is the joy of his parents, yet he is not their son by nature. Which one, however, is accounted more the son, or is deserving more of the fatherly love? The second, we agree. His relationship is that of spirit with spirit.—Christian Recorder. The Savannah Tribune, thinks that "elaborate funeral displays" have become too much of a tax. It says: "How infinitely better would it not be to eliminate so much unnecessary taxation as is placed upon the members whenever a death occurs within their ranks and to increase the monthly dues just a trifle, thereby allowing a slightly larger sick and death benefit and to cut out entirely all street parades and large outlays at funerals." Tell a negro, an Irishman or an Italian that he cannot have a big funeral when he dies, and he will at once lose all interest in the societies that care for the sick and bury the dead. Many people would think life not worth living if they were to have no big funeral when they die It is the policy of Tuskegee institute to employ its graduates wherever it is found expedient to do so. Thirty-six graduates are now employed as teachers, some of them having charge of divisions. Among the oldest and most valuable teachers will be found many graduates of the institute.—The Southern Letter. We are pleased to not the determination of our county teachers to improve themselves mentally and to keep abreast of new ideas and thoughts. We are glad to note this spirit, as it shows that our teachers are wide awake. Thorough preparation is absolutely essential if a teacher wishes to succeed in her profession.—Southern Missioner. A race is like an individual, it will be whatever it will make of itself—no more and no less.—Nashville Clarion. Ngroes, as a majority, ride on the trains as much as any people, though it be but a short distance. For most of them four or five miles is a good journey. However, it does seem that, as much as many of them have had the opportunity to ride on the trains, it is time they were learning to keep their heads from out the windows. This habit in itself makes many of them unbegrable on the railways. However cold it may be, and however much they may cause others to suffer, they will hoist the windows almost as soon as they sit down, simply to have the opportunity to poke their heads out at the next station. It would seem sometimes that all their relatives and friends ahead for four or five stations have a knowledge of their being on board. If nobody is at the train to see them pass they will imagine so anyway, and when it rolls up to the station their heads are out the windows, and they are yelling and waving their hands, like a set of fools, at they know not what or whom. We are made to wonder sometimes why conductors will allow so much of this kind of thing. But we remember that many conductors wish to be kind to and lenient with this thoughtless element, and very often only in cases of pressing necessity will force them to put down the windows. On one occasion a gentleman kindly asked a young man who was sitting just in front of him to put down the window, and the young man insultingly informed him that he would not put down the window. So it is in many case, good and well-behaved people have to be made uncomfortable on the railways by the self-important young Negrose who think they have the right to make it unpleasant for all other passengers aboard the train. We want all our people who travel on the railroads to learn that glass windows were made to look through and that they can see through them all they want to see while travelling. It will not be necessary to poke their heads out the windows—Southern Ploughman. The negro preacher should be very attentive to his church duties at all times. He should not bum around on the streets but should be at home or in his study preparing himself for each and every service. When they spend the majority of their time loafing around gossiping it is impossible for them to instruct the people only in an unintelligent way from which no benefit whatever can be derived. If your congregation will not support you on account of your inability, then quit preaching and go to the farm or some other honorable labor. We know some divines who will preach from one to five Sundays to the month and during the week lug around with a drummer's valsse, which is a disgrace to the ministry and the race as a whole. If you can't preach, let preaching alone. If you can carry the drummer's valise, then carry it and stop disgracing yourself and the ministry. —Palestine Plaindealer. The sins of white men seem to return upon them as a loathsome plague. White men are mistaken for negroes in their society and are compelled to flee for their lives. This was clearly manifested when a Russian Jew, in company with a white woman, entered one of the fashionable cafes. On account of his dark complexion, he was thought to be a negro. The whole city was aroused at once and had it not been for the swiftness of the victim's feet and legs which enabled him to leap high buildings and dodge his assailants and would-be lynchers, who, in hot pursuit, were crying for his blood.—Pine Bluff (Ark.) Herald. A great many negro husbands are natural and incorrigible rovers. They have a string of cities, with a family in each, from New York to Chicago, and they keep on moving from one to their families to the other, until the undertaker catches them. The roving system is not only highly immoral but leads to some very ghastly tragedies; say, when two rovers meet in the same house at the same time and dispute as to which of them is the husband of the woman of the house. It is to be hoped that the system will grow less in favor as the tragedies of it increase in number and ghastliness—New York Age. Some time ago some one suggested that 5,000 negroes should march to Washington, D. C., and there and then demand President Taft to do something towards putting a stop to mob violence. We hope for two reasons that the suggestion will not be acted upon. First, the expedition would do no good. Second, there are plenty other ways in which the negro can and will play the fool without imitating Coxey's army. We must be able to differentiate between the man who believes in a square deal for all men, and the man who has no good word or encouragement for any one with a black face—Danyville (Ky.) Torchlight. Secretary of Jamaican Cricket Club of New York Makes Statement. CLASS DISTINCTION—JAMAICANS DISCRIMINATED AGAINST ON ACCOUNT OF STATION AND NOT BECAUSE OF COLOR. New York.—Branding as silly the assertion of T. L. McDonald, a native of Jamaica, to the effect that the color line is drawn in the West Indies between the blacks and mulattoes, R. Roger Melbourne, secretary of the Jamaican Cricket club of New York, comes out in statement that while class distinction exists in Jamaica, there is no discrimination on account of color. Mr. Melbourne expresses himself on conditions in Jamaica as follows: "I see that a student of Morgan college, Baltimore, Md., while partially agreeing with Mr. O'Connor De Cordova's article in refutation of Miss Mary Ovington's statement in the Sunday Herald 'that the negro is a man only in Europe,' takes exception to the term 'negro' as used by Mr. De Cordova and alleges 'that the mulattoes in Jamaica are a distinct people from the blacks or negroes.' "When Mr. De Cordova came forward to refute Miss Ovington's statement, mentioning certain conditions in Jamaica, he did not for one moment think that the negro was not also a 'man' in the United States. He came forward out of justice to negroes in general and Jamalcans in particular (he being himself a Jamaican), and that the spirit of the article was taken by the editor was shown by the headline, 'Negro Also a Man in America.' "Mr. McDonald has made the assertion that mulattoes in Jamaica are a 'distinct people from the blacks or negroes.' That statement is sweeping and misleading. He is muddled in his fragmentary statement, and one would gather that the 'color line' is drawn. He has hopelessly mixed up color line with class distinction. "In New York city one hears much of the '400,' and in other localities the same class distinction, although during the recent visit of the Duke of Connaught New York '400' dwindled down to 300 or so. So you see in every community there must be the classes. In Jamaica the mass of the population is composed of negroes, and with the masses there are the world over penury and ignorance. "For convenience sake, according to Mr. McDonald's viewpoint, I will divide the negroes of Jamaica into two groups—the blacks and the mulattoes. There are among the blacks and mulattoes people of prominence socially and otherwise, and the government of the colony are in the hands of these people with a few officials appointed by the colonial office in London. "That there is no color line in Jamaica is well known; but there is certainly such a thing as class distinction. It is erroneous to think that there is a line drawn between the two groups of people. Among the blacks and mulattoes there are classes. The blacks of culture and refinement would not recognize as their social equal the uncouth mulatto, and vice versa; but both groups of the same class are at par and receive the same social recognition from the white man. Nor is it expected that the cultured of both groups would bring themselves down to the level of the peasant population. To bring it more clearly to the readers, the educated and refined class of Americans look down in sympathy with the ignorant negroes who are the cause of mob law in the south, and would not allow themselves to be put in a class with them. "Reforms are needed in all governments, and history teems with the names of reformers who have lived centuries ago, down to our times. Reforms mean progress. There are many men who have stood for the rights of the negro in Jamaica who are dead and gone. Mr. Cox is a reformer and is esteemed by Jamalcans at home and abroad, although many think him too radical in his views. "According to Mr. McDonald, we understand that because Mr. Cox raised a hue and cry against negro oppression he was suspended by the 'aristocrats' from the legislative council. The truth of the matter is that Mr. Cox was suspended by regular parliamentary procedure on account of what was considered an insult to the representative of the king. Indeed, he was censured by his own colleagues and a motion, for suspension and a vote of confidence in the governor, Sir Sydney Oliver, was moved, I think, by the Hon. D. A. Corinaldi, member for the parish of St. James, a representative of the people." NEGRO DOCTORS PRAISED. Dallas, Tex.-The negro physicians of Dallas are being especially complimented for their heroic work in the recent epidemic of spinal meningitis. The white physicians had to call on them for a supply of serum and other medicines necessary in combating this disease. The quarantines of all the smaller towns have been raised and schools have reopened and times are normal again. $25.00 COLONIST FARES FROM All Main Line Points AND ALL POINTS ON Marshall Pass Line, Salida to Grand Junction ON THE Denver & Rio Grande in Colorado TO California and the Pacific Northwest VIA THE DENVER & RIO GRANDE RAILROAD AND THE WESTERN PACIFIC RAILWAY The Royal Gorge—Feather River Cañon Route. by depositing tickets with agent, stop,overs of five days will be allowed at and west of Cañon City on the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad in Colorado and Utah, and at Elko, Hazen, Reno, Las Vegas, Lovelock, Shafter, Winnemucca, Nev., and all points in California; at all points on the Great Northern at and west of Billings, Mont.; at all points on O.

COMPARTMENTS IN THE BAG One of the Newest and Most Welcome of the Many Recent Fads of Fashion. If you once have owned a fourfold bag you will never again be without one. Into the separate compartments can go buttons, hooks and eyes, thread and sewing utensils and a small piece of work, and there is no wild hunting for the article needed as in a one-piece bag. "FRUIT" SACHET THE LATEST Quaint Conceit of the Season Has Made its Way Into Deserved Popularity. Quite one of the quaintest conceits of the season is the 'fruit' sachet. Instead of the little flat satin perfumed sachets to which one is accustomed one now uses small clusters of grapes in natural colors, purple and green, arranged quite flat with a circle of small leaves around, white cherries, deli- These bags may be made in any size, but a convenient size is made from a yard and three-quarters of five-inch flowered ribbon with colored satin edges. Cut the ribbon into four strips of equal length, double each strip and overcast the edges together to form a small bag. Turn in the top to the depth of an inch for the heading and run with a double line of sewing for a casing. Use two yards of number one or baby satin ribbon for a drawstring, cutting in separate yard pieces. Rip the stitches on the outside of the casing between the line of sewing, and run the drawstring through the outside of each of the four bags, tying the ends in a fluffy bow. Start the other drawstrings at the opposite end with two bags to each side and run around the four, using the inner side of the casing. The ends in a bow. To keep the bags from sliding on the drawstring, tack the two on each side together, running a stitch or two in the frill just above the casing. This makes them draw easily on one string. Beauty and Happiness. One of the most beautiful women in the world thinks that by itself it cannot, but says that every woman has a charm—for some man. "Every woman is charming in some way to somebody," she says. "Beauty of itself cannot bring happiness; frequently it is a snare to the woman who possesses it. One cannot be beautiful forever, and love that centers only round a woman's beauty turns to hate when she grows old. "I have known ugly women who charmed men by their grace of manner, their high intelligence, their kindness of heart. You may say that is little consolation to the woman hungry for beauty, but I know how little of a man's heart the woman has who holds him by beauty alone." The Semidress. The simple bodice, with the low shoulder finished by a wide hem and the full-length close-fitting sleeves attached to the lining of the bodice, is a feature of some of the newest frocks, although the majority of gowns show the elbow-length peasant sleeve such as we have worn for some time past. This sleeve and the modified peasant sleeve will undoubtedly be worn during the summer. The skirts of all semi-dressy frocks escape the ground all around and are as narrow as ever. They are made either quite simple and trimmed with a row of ball buttons down the entire length of the front, a smart new feature, or they have the knee-deep tunic.—Harper's Bazar. Dainty Pillows. Without sacrificing any of the daintiness of her household decorative effects the housewife today rejoices to introduce the note of utility, and sometimes amid the color and glitter of her drawingroom, the result is not a little bizarre as well as pleasing. Cushions on the whole are much darker and more serviceable than they were, and pretty things of a pale soft color and trimmed with lace are reserved for the bedroom or the boudoir. In sitting or smoke rooms, though, the colors are rich, and a thread of gold silver often runs through them. Qualint Conceit of the Season Has Made Its Way Into Deserved Popularity. Quite one of the qualint conceits of the season is the "fruit" sachet. Instead of the little flat satin perfumed sachets to which one is accustomed one now uses small clusters of grapes in natural colors, purple and green, arranged quite flat with a circle of small leaves around, white cherries, delicately flushed with pink, tiny apples, some quite green, others rosy, and greenish yellow limes, all are requisitioned. The "fruit" is composed of silk or velvet, hand-tinted, and is filled with sweet-smelling ground spices and perfumed powder, so that it diffuses a fragrant odor and delicately scents the lingerie or garments among which it is placed. PRETTY LITTLE COAT A A child's coat in blue or green of rough cheviot, with the collar and cuffs of white peau de chamois finished with narrow braid. She Made Her Furs. Some very pretty afternoon and evening scarfs and muffs have been made by girls, using fur and marabot trimmings left over from former years. One girl had yards of swansdown that had trimmed her first party cloak. She cut the bands in half lengthwise, making a band a little over an inch wide. This she sewed on the edges of a scarf of fawn-color chiffon cloth, with two bands at even intervals between the edges. She made also a big, soft muff to match with the swansdown bands. The hat she wears with these is of white beaver, with a white marabout band and standing feather at the left.—Harper's Bazar. Smocking and Braiding. Smocking and braiding are trimming notions that have lately had a revival not only for children's dresses, but also for blouses and matines. Just a Plume. Large hat shapes of velvet in all colors require no trimming but the single plume, and with the French curl at the end.

PROTECTION FOR THE TOTS Cheap and Efficient Screen That May Be Placed Around the Heating Stove. So many little children who are just toddling about get burned by falling against the heating stove, that every stove where there are children about should have some sort of a screen made about it. For several years we used one made of common 26-inch field fence, made of No. 11 wire. Simply cut enough of the wire to reach around the stove with about six inches of space between the screen and the stove. Make a base of 2x4 lumber, as the wire alone is not heavy enough to stay in place. It should not be nailed to the floor, but so it can be raised up or sweeping etc. If a heavy zinc board is used under the stove the screen can be made to just fit on the outside of it and thus be more firmly fixed in place. Philadelphia Scrapple. Use two hogs' heads, hearts and tongues. Skin the heads, cut off jowls, split heads, removing eyes, ears, brain and tongue. Cleanse. Boil until meat drops from bones (tongues and hearts in separate kettle) and bony pieces. Cool and grind in meat chopper, saving liquor. Return meat to liquor, add water to make two gallons liquor, bringing to boil. Thicken with cornmeal, salt and pepper to taste, seasoning with sweet marjoram, being careful not to use too much. Cook two hours. Pour into pans. Set in cool place. Slice and fry in drippings or butter, or serve cold with vinegar, as a relish. Hint.—All meats should be "put on" in cold water. Let come just to boiling, then remove from water and wash. Kettle should be washed before replacing meat. Use boiling water the second filling. Season one hour before serving. Steamed Beets. Beets may be cooked in this way in about the same time that it takes to boil them, and this method is a happy compromise between baking and boiling them. To bake them is not a very economical method when the work must be done by gas, yet by this method they retain every bit of their sweetness and delicate flavor. It is best to use a little water in the pan when baking them, so they are thus partly steamed. Unless they are covered by another pan, in which case the steaming process is more complete, they will need to be turned frequently, but not with a fork, for this makes them bleed. A pancake turner is the best thing to use. Pot Roast. Take any kind of meat, put into an iron pot a tablespoonful of meat fryings or butter; let it brown; wash off the roast and put it into the pot. After it begins to fry pour in enough water to half cover the meat; season with pepper and salt, cover and stew slowly. As the meat begins to fry add more water; turn it often and cook about three hours. A half hour before serving add either Irish or sweet potatoes or turnips and let them brown with the meat. Martha Washington Jumbles. Stir to a cream one pound each of butter and sugar, and three well-beaten eggs, one pound flour, one wineglass rose water and one teaspoon lemon extract. Roll out thin, cut with a ring cutter, dust over with granulated sugar and bake. Butter Frosting. Half pound powdered sugar, butter size of an egg. Put sugar and butter together, then beat the white of an egg stiff and add to the sugar and butter; beat thoroughly. Flavor with vanilla. This will frost two cakes. Dropped Eggs In Cream. Put one-half cup of sweet cream in chafing dish; heat the cream and break six eggs in cream, one by one. Sprinkle each with salt and pepper. Cook slowly ten minutes and serve on toast. DAY OR NIGHT.
