THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY VOL. XVIII. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY. MARCH 23 1912. NO 28 Seperate School Question Mrs. Ida DePriest's answer to the Article on Separate Schools, that Appeared in the Denver Post, March 8th. Mrs. Wixson's There appeared an article in the Post of March 8th urging separate schools for colored children. Mrs Wixson, State Superintendent of Public Instruction was quoted as an advocate of separate schools. She, perhaps like a great many others both colored and white believe that greater inspiration and opportunity could come to the colored child if taught by one of his or her race Mrs. Wixson's opinion upon this question has not been actuated by prejudice as a great many seem to think with a view to segregation, but she entertains a sincere desire of giving the colored children of Colorado equalization of opportunities and colored schools in her opinion is the practical solution of distributing the school tax. I have known Mrs. Wixson a number of years and I sincerely believe that the colored race have never had a better friend elected to the office which she holds, nor one who is more interested in bring ing their children to their highest development, and her expression along this line must not be misunderstood. The morning preceding the Post's article regarding colored schools, I was called over the phone by a Post representative and asked my opinion regarding the separation, I said that I could not give an unbiased opinion because I had had the one opportunity of attending only the mixed schools. That I was not unmindful of the fact that the separate schools brought an educated class to a city which is always a beneficial factor in any community. That the schools constituted a source of revenue not to be lightly ignored. That they would give our girls something to do at home, but, on the other hand and in my judgment outweighs these considerations, is the belief that the education of a people is the greatest question that can possibly concern them, since it touches every phase of human interest and holds the key to the solution of the color question, then why not educate together since all are citizens before the law and must share alike the community responsibilities. Further, that it is out of the question to believe that there could be a colored East Denver High School, a Manuel Training, a Technical, a Trade and a Whittier equipped with every modern facility for educational pursuits. Further that the colored children are few and far between, thereby working a hardship to the younger children in going to and from long distanced schools. These were some of my opinions expressed to the Post's representative, but they were not published. There are sincere friends to the race's advancement who believe differently and an intelligent discussion of this question can harm no one. BIG FIGHT TO BE WAGED AMONG ODD FELLOWS Chicago, Ill, March 12 —Friends and supporters of Grand Master Edward H Morris of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows predict that upon his return to America such a bitter fight will be precipitated by the Grand Master on one side and Deputy Grand Master Henry Lincoln Johnson on the other that the thousands of dissatisfied Odd Fellows throughout the country will be in a position to accomplish their cherished ambition—elect officers who will give a businesslike and profitable administration. Grand Master Morris has heard of the fight being waged by the Johnson faction, and has written to friends that he intends to show his opponents that he is no amateur at the game of politics when he returns from his trip abroad. He is already lining up prominent officers of the order who are influential and who have promised their support. Deputy Grand Master Johnson has planned to gain control of the order during the absence of Grand Master Morris, and members say Johnson showed his hand in the Odd Fellows' Journal last week when the paper published an order from the Deputy Grand Master making known that he was Acting Grand Master. The order read as follows: To all branches of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows in America, and its jurisdiction, and to all members of all such branches, greeting: COLORED VOTERS REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES TODAY From 4 to 7 P.M. If you desire a Republican victory vote at the Primaries today. It is the duty of every colored voter to see that proper delegates are elected to THE COUNTY CONVENTION Whereas, it being a fact that Grand Master Edward H. Morris, Grand Master of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows in America, is now on the high seas on a voyage around the world, and "absent" within the intent and meaning of Law XIV. section 1, page 24, General Laws, 1911 edition; and Whereas, in such case the duties, powers, and privileges of the office of Grand Master of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows in America, according to Law XIII and Law XIV, General Laws, 1911 edition, devolve upon and invest in the Deputy Grand Master of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows in America; therefore Notice is hereby given to all concerned that until the return of Grand Master Edward H. Morris from beyond the seas the functions of the office of Grand Master of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows in America must be administered by the Deputy Grand Master, and all branches and members must govern themselves in accordance with the law and facts hereinbefore stated. Done at Atlanta, Ga, this 4th day of March, A. D., 1912. (Signed) HENRY LINCOLN JOHNSON, Deputy Grand Master, Acting Grand Master. The Old Guard which has been in power so long is said to have split because Grand Master Morris left the country without consulting with the Johnson faction. Henry Lincoln Johnson, it is said, feels that the Grand Master snubbed him by not paying him more attention. MR. CARNEGIE GIVES AGRI CULTURAL TROPHY. SPECIAL TO COLORADO STATESMAN. Tuskegee, Ala.—The officers of the American Land and Irrigation Exposition, which was held in New York City last fall, and which is to be held again, Novem- ber 15 to December 2, 1912, in the 71st Regiment Armory, New York announces that Mr. Andrew Carnegie has just given a trophy valued at $750 00 to be awarded for the best cotton grown in the United States. Mr. Carnegie makes a special consideration of his award that the colored people of the country may be permitted to enter into this competition. The prizes for staple products, to be awarded at the coming Exposition, will be the handsomest in the history of the world's agriculture. The Exposition will be open for sixteen days and it is confidently expected that over half a million people will attend. In addition to the prizes already offered others are as follows: President Stilwell of the Exposition has already donated to the Exposition a $1,000 trophy for the best exhibit of white potatoes: Mr. Horace Havemeyer has given a $1,000 prize cup for the best exhibit of sugar beets, and the Exposition Management will offer a $1,000 prize for the best exhibit of apples—twenty-five boxes of any variety or varieties grown anywhere. The exact terms of the awards and full list of prizes, together with any information regarding the various competitions, will be sent upon application by Gilbert McClurg, General Manager, the American Land and Irrigation Exposition, Singer Building, New York City. The colored people are especially urged to enter for the Carnegie trophy for the best cotton grown as Mr Carnegie desires, Their Heavy Handicap. How many women are born too finely organized in sense and soul for the highway they must walk with feet unshod.—Oliver Wendell Holmes. Best Compliment.

Providence, R. I., March 15.—Victor LeBaron, of 425 Washington Street, has been informed by the administrators of his father's estate that he is an heir to over $1,000,000. Mr. LeBaron is a graduate of Harvard College, and has been a resident of this city for a number of years. He is a cousin to the late Alexander Dumas. He owns considerable real estate in this city, and his new fortune does not seem to excite him very The Senate of New Jersey passed the Emancipation Bill. This bill carries an appropriation of $120,000 to aid the Negro of New Jersey to celebrate the golden jubilee of his freedom. Said Bill was fathered by the Rev. I. W. L. Roundtree of Trenton, N. J., the recognized leader of New Jersey and ably assisted by Lawyer James H. Penn of Passaic, N. J., District Grand Master of District Grand Lodge, No. 4, G. U. O. of O. F. These two representatives worked assiduously for the Bill and so convincingly did they present the merits of their Bill to the members of the Senate, that it passed 13-4. The Bill is now in the Assembly and they have received the hearty assurances from an overwhelming majority of that House that the bill will pass. Seven Commissioners are to be appointed by the Governor, who will co-operate with other States to make the national exposition a success. The recent epidemic of meningitis in many Texas cities has served to break down racial barriers at least in the matter of civic health. The meningitis is a disease so deadly that it can only be classed in acute form, and the municipal authorities of Texas have realized that the spread of this malady among the colored people is as dangerous and menacing to the entire community, as if only the whites suffered. Hence the Negro physicians have frequently called on and thus given opportunity of exploiting their high degree of training and proficiency. When Dr. Sophian, an expert in the diagnosis and treatment of meningetis, and connecten with the Rockefeller Medical Research Institute of New York, recently visited Houston to deliver a lecture on "Meningitis," the colored physician of Houston were cordially extended an invitation to be the guests of that city's Chamber of Commerce and hear Dr. Sophian. Providence, R. I., March 15.—Victor LeBaron, of 425 Washington Street, has been informed by the administrators of his father's estate that he is an heir to over $1,000,000. Mr. LeBaron is a graduate of Harvard College, and has been a resident of this city for a number of years. He is a cousin to the late Alexander Dumas. He owns considerable real estate in this city, and his new fortune does not seem to excite him very much. His wife is a native of Philadelphia, Pa., and is the daughter of Mrs. Lizzie Drummond melvine. Mrs. LeBaron is an accomplished singer, reader and pianist. She and her husband visited Philadelphia last Fall, the first time in 18 years, and were the guests of Mrs. G. Grant Williams, of So. Markoe street. They expect to sail in a few months for Paris, and will probably visit Philadelphia, en route, to claim their fortune. Mr. LeBaron is Superintendent of the Pastuerizing Department of the Providence Dairy Company. Nashville, Tenn., March 4.—An unusual gift to Fisk was recently announced. The donor is Mrs. Alice M. Dismukes who has charge of our laundry. Mrs. Dismukes is a member of our Mozart Society, and is very much interested in the growth of the Department of music. For four years she has insisted upon turning back into the treasury every cent of her salary, until the substantial sum of $1,000 has accumulated. This gift will go toward the erection of a single building in which all our musical activities may be assembled. Seldom indeed does one encounter such an example of devotion and self-sacrifice, and this is especially encouraging coming as it does from one of our own people. The deafening applause which met the President's announcement of this gift showed clearly that the lesson had gone straight home to the heart of every student and teacher. A music conservatoly is assured if this spirit will grow.—Fisk Herald. In the stomach of a cow recently slaughtered in Davenport, Wash., were found steel nails, a piece of tin can and a 24-point capital O from a font of type. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS In times past The Age has condemned the disposition of negroes to walk up to the learned degree storehouse and take any of the titles and degrees they found lying about loosely and using them in their business or profession or vocation as their interests or fancy inclined them; scorning the appropriateness and proprieties of things with a fine scorn, scornful. We have professors of everything and nothing, learned and unlearned, so that the learned degrees among us have become a reproach and rebuke, even to those who have secured them from reputable institutions by their good works, in scholarship or their specialization. In a Sunday talk to the students of Tuskegee institute, recently, as reported for the Tuskegee Student, "On Being Simple," Dr. Booker T. Washington said, among other things: "Students who go out from this institution may also exert their influence in helping our people to get rid of the habit of having so many titles, so many meaningless and worthless degrees. You can scarcely meet in the street, or anywhere else, a minister unless he is called a Doctor of Divinity. Some of them can scarcely read or write, some of them cannot read or write a simple English sentence, yet they parade themselves about as Doctors of Divinity. Worse than that, some call themselves Doctors of Law. We want everywhere to exert our influence to get rid of all that sham. "The fact is we have run wild, in many cases, in this degree business, and many people who have been too lazy to get a genuine education, have sought to cover up their ignorance and their vulgarity by parading after their names a lot of letters—A. B., A. M., D. D., LL. D., etc. Why I have actually received letters from persons with all those titles signed after their names. Whenever a person gets a letter with all those titles after the signature, he makes up his mind—if he does not express it—he makes up his mind that this is a letter, not from an educated person, but from an ignorant person, a vulgar person lacking in culture, a person lacking in real, genuine taste." This is all very true; but it is impossible, at this stage of the race's development, to make men see that a learned degree, or title of honor, which does not belong to them, and which they cannot sustain, when called upon to do so, by scholarship or good works in special fields of achievements, makes them look and act cheaply in the eyes of those whose good opinion they value, and really seek by parading such degrees to obtain. The world is very critical. It demands a reason for everything and will not be satisfied with evasion. If people are not what they claim to be, if they are shams, masquerading as aliases in borrowed plumage, of degrees in scholarship or distinction in good works, the fraud will be discovered; they themselves will give themselves away. We are growing away from the degree and title abuse with the years, as we grow in matured scholarship and material achievement, and shall not, after awhile, the value the gwgaws which are as paste stones to real diamonds in the world of achievement, of character, of worth.—New York Age. Parents and guardians should call a halt to the children under their charge. The streets are infested with little boys and girls from sunrise almost until midnight in Charleston. They are becoming a perfect nuisance. They use profane language; they throw bricks at each other; in fact they are becoming desperate in the streets among themselves. We like to see children enjoy themselves and we believe the streets give them a great deal of fresh air; but to allow them to corrupt the streets means serious consequences. In order to get good citizens the children must be taught in their youth to reverence and respect the public liberties given them on the streets. It is fearful how they indiscriminately hurl bricks in their angry passion. Both white and black have gotten into the art of throwing bricks at each other. If something is not done to stop them, the City Fathers will eventually have to do away with glass sashes and go back to the old wooden windows and put the city back in darkness.—Charleston Messenger. The person who sets up and operates a place where the idlers and laffers gather, is largely responsible for the wickedness and crime of his community. Idleness breeds crime and no one who cares for the welfare of his people, or who is interested in the good name of his community, will encourage any movement to develop a crop of idlers.—The Torch Light. Opportunities for preparation and opportunities for service are abundant and there should be no lack of men to do the Master's service.—American Baptist. President George A. Gates of Fisk university was recently injured in a railroad wreck. The Birmingham Age-Herald devoted a half column recently to a review of Principal Booker T. Washington's latest book, "My Larger Education." The review was written by Prof. Charles A. Brown of the Birmingham high school, and of this book Professor Brown says: "My Larger Education" of Booker T. Washington's is a continuation of his autobiographical narrative, "Up From Slavery," which was published some years ago, and, as he says, is written "to complete the story of my education which I began in that book; to answer the questions as to how I worked out for myself the educational methods which we are using at Tuskegee; and, finally, to illustrate, for the benefit of the members of my own race, some of the ways in which a people who are struggling upward may turn disadvantages into opportunities; how they may gain within themselves something that will compensate them for what they have been deprived of from without." The record shows that his education has been very realistic and has progressed with his work as it has brought him in contact with "men and things." The lessons have been learned from "human institutions, politics, newspapers, and from educational and social problems of various kinds." A large part of the book is devoted to what he has learned from "exceptional white men," and he gratefully records his indebtedness to William H. Baldwin, Jr., of Washington; Dr. J. L. M. Curry of Alabama, Mr. John M. Parker of New Orleans, Col. Henry Watterson of Kentucky, ex-President Roosevelt and others; to a number of exceptional negroes; to "high and low" he met in his travels in Europe; to educational authorities of Denmark, and to educational campaigns in the south. The book is an interesting narrative of the experiences of a man who realized that his first and fundamental problem was "how to deal with public opinion on the race question." Some of the members of his own race wanted to know "why he proposed to teach their children to work?" These wanted him to provide a kind of education that would enable their children to live without working. Some of the white people of the south were opposed to any kind of education for the negro, while some of the white people of the north feared that the kind of education he proposed would produce merely "hewers of wood and drawers of water," and would not "prepare the negro to take his place in the community as a man and citizen." We were agreeable surprised at Marlin, Tex., to see about 15 negroes working on brick buildings. They have recently finished four brick buildings. You don't find negro brickmasons erecting buildings for white folks in all towns in dear old, Dixie land. Texas Guide. Ever since the trial and conviction of the McNamaras for dynamiting the government has been perfecting a drag-net for taking in others guilty of the same sort of crime. That drag-net was cast and drawn up last week. And it enmeshed fifty-four prominent labor leaders charged with dynamiting buildings, and other structures in all parts of the country. No negroes were found or will be found in drag-nets of that sort. The negroes are about the only class of people in this country who do not resort to the use of dynamite to right their wrongs. In that respect the colored man stands in a class all by his lonesome. Even the Jews are not guiltless. In glancing over one of their journals recently we read of a gang of East Side Jews in New York who for years have maintained a "Black-Hand" organization, and have for years been the terror of all those who have aroused their cupidity or resentment.—Dallas Express. Let me do my work each day, and if the darkened hours of despair overcome me, may I not forget the strength that comforted me in the desolation of other times. May I still remember the bright hours that found me walking over the silent hills of my childhood, or dreaming on the margin of the quiet river, when a light glowed within me and I promised my only God to have courage amid the tempest of changing years. Spare me from bitterness and from the sharp passions of unguarded moments. May I not forget that poverty and riches are of the spirit. Though the world know me not, may my thoughts and actions be such as shall keep me friendly with myself. Lift up my eyes from the earth and let me not forget the uses of the stars. Forbid that I should judge others, lest I condemn myself. Let me not follow the clamor of the world, but walk calmly in my path. Give me a few friends who will love me for what I am, and keep ever burning before my vagrant steps the kindly light of hope. And though age and infirmity overtake me, and I come not within sight of the castle of my dreams, teach me still to be thankful for life and for time's olden memories that are good and sweet, and may the evening's twilight find me gentle still. Selected. NEGRO POLITICS IN 1911 A Review of the Part Taken by Negroes in National Politics. NATIONAL NEGRO DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION AT INDIANAPOLIS —WOMAN SUFFRAGE AND THE NEGRO IN CALIFORNIA—NEGRO AND PROHIBITION IN TEXAS. Tuskegee, Ala.-The Tuskegee Institute has in press a negro year book, prepared by Monroe N. Work, department of Records and Research. The following is Mr. Work's review of the political activities during 1911: May 17 the national negro Democratic convention was held at Indianapolis. The following appeal was sent out: We, the negroes in the national Democratic convention assembled, this, the 17th day of May, 1911, desire to appeal to the colored voters of the United States to open their eyes to the condition surrounding us as a race, and suggest that it is wisdom's way that the negro should no longer follow, blindly, one party to its own harm and detriment as he has heretofore followed the Republican party. We believe that the American negro should divide his vote the same as the white man and be found in all political parties for precisely the same reason that the white men are found in all parties. Therefore, as we negro Democrats reaffirm our allegiance to the Democratic party, believing that its principles for reciprocity and for tariff for revenue only are the most conductive for an economical administration of the affairs of the American government, and comes nearer to meeting the approval of the masses of the common people. We therefore appeal to the intelligent, honest, law-abiding colored citizens of the United States of America, to organize and bind themselves together in Democratic clubs preparatory for the war of the ballot in 1912. Remember the ancient adage, "The wise man forseeth the evil and hideth himself, but the foo goes out and is overtaken in the error of his ways." The National Independent Political Rights league met in Boston in September. In its address to the country it demanded (1) the enforcement of the constitution to stop disfranchisement and peonage; (2) the passage of an anti-Jim Crow law for interstate passengers; (3) federal aid to education with the same schooling for all; (4) restoration of the discharged Brownville soldiers; (5) legislation making lynching a capital offense under federal jurisdiction. President Taft on the matter of office holding by negroes said in an interview published in the Outlook: "What I have done in this line of recognition of the Democracy of the south) has been without sacrifice of any interest of my own party. "I have appointed many negroes to office, and have given some of them, like Lewis, Johnson and McKinlay—offices of essential dignity at Washington. What I have not done is to force them upon unwilling communities in the south itself. I have appointed none where I knew that the race feeling was strong, and have preferred giving large offices to well-equipped negroes of the higher class to scattering a lot of petty ones among the mass of their race. "This is not because I lack sympathy with the negroes, but because I want to see them advance. The worst thing I could have done for them was to keep alive any ill-feeling their white neighbors cherished toward them. But it stiffens their self-respect and spurs them on to more thorough preparation for public service if they see political honors going to their worthiest leaders." In California the woman's suffrage advocates appointed special workers among the colored people and it is reported that the negroes generally supported the suffrage movement. In Illinois 150 delegates of the Coalition league met in Springfield and adopted resolutions in which they declared themselves opposed to all present political parties. The negro voters of the state were urged to vote independently. In Louisiana there has been a bitter fight against the black and tan faction and the illy white faction of the Republican party for supremacy. The fight was carried before the recent meeting of the national Republican committee in Washington and the old line Republicans charged the illy whites with not dealing fair with them. In Maryland the colored voters played a part in the recent state election which was out of the ordinary. They did not ask the white political leaders for money, but organized and contributed funds to carry on the campaign. They placed $500 in the hands of the leaders of the campaign with the request that the money be used for the election of the Republican governor and to defeat the Diggs disfranchisement bill. In Missouri the negroes expressed dissatisfaction with the policy of both the Republican and Democratic party in that state. They charged the Democratic party with not having kept its pre-election pledges and the Republican party with playing a big game of jolly with the colored voters and giving them only the glad hand. Early in December the Taft Colored Republican association of New Jersey met in Trenton, and adopted resolutions indorsing the administration of President Taft and pledging allegiance to the Republican party, both national and state. In North Carolina the illly faction of the Republican party is said to have made a miserable and disappointing show in the state election. In South Carolina it is said that for the first time in thirty years all the colored Republicans are working together and are being supported by the old line white Republicans. Rev. Richard Carroll, Prof. M. T. Frederick, Thomas E. Miller, Henry Toole and several other colored men voted in the South Carolina Democratic primary. The laws governing the Democratic primary in that state permit negroes to vote provided they voted for General Wade Hampton in 1876 and also have voted in every Democratic primary since that time. Henry Toole of Rockhill, S. C., is perhaps the only negro known to have been a member of the Klu Klux Klan, in the country. He is and always has been a Democrat and in reconstruction days was imprisoned because of his connection with the Klu Klux Klan outrages. He is said to be proud of the fact that he spent three weeks in York jail with the young white men of Rockhill, S. C., who were confined there at the time. In the recent prohibition campaign in Texas, great efforts were made by both sides to secure the negro vote. After the election each party declared that the majority of the negroes voted on the other side. NATIVES IN CONGO STILL IN SLAVERY In a memorandum to his majesty's government the Congo Reform association makes strong statements with regard to conditions in the Congo and the attitude of the Belgian government in persisting in denying the right of other powers signatory to the Berlin act to criticise and, if necessary, to intervene in the affairs of the Congo conducted in a manner contrary to the terms of that act. That policy E. D. Morel says in a letter to Sir Edward Grey, calls for a clear and explicit repudiation on the part of his majesty's government. While the Reform association is unable to describe its satisfaction as unreserved, it is pleased to note the beginning of methods of approximating to civilized rule in reform areas. As to the condition of natives in areas where reform has not yet come into force, "the state of affairs is extremely grave," and the news at hand is declared to be "very nearly as bad as any intelligence which has been received from the Congo, even in the worst days of the old regime." The extent of depopulation "can only be described as appalling." "A direct system of slavery created and maintained by the Belgian government" is the description given by Consul Armstrong in one of his reports, which is quoted. The traffic in arms carried on by the Belgian government in order to procure ivory and rubber for purposes of revenue, in defiance of international conventions, has according to the same official's report, reached "the most alarming proportions." Severe comment is made with regard to the unsatisfactory character of the decree restoring to the natives the right to trade. It is stated that the Congo is "practically closed to ivory traders." The Belgian revenue purchases at fabulous prices. A gun valued at $1 will go in exchange for ivory worth $1,000. CEYLON TO HAVE NORMAL SCHOOL FOR NATIVES ON TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE PLAN Montgomery, Ala.—With a view to establishing a normal school in the Island of Ceylon, similar, though not as elaborate as Booker Washington's institute at Tuskegee for negroes, Alex. G. Fraser, a native Scotchman, who has been engaged in educational work in Africa and Ceylon the past 12 years, arrived in Montgomery after spending three days at the Tuskegee institute. He inspected the Tuskegee school and conferred with Booker Washington. "The Tuskegee school is magnificent." exclaimed the young Scotchman. "I have already established schools and colleges in Ceylon, from the primary department up to the university examinations. I now intend to establish a normal school for the natives, but, of course, it will be on a more modest scale than the Tuskegee school, because I have not nearly the financial resources behind me." NEW ENGLAND APPLE PIE. Use a deep pie plate, pare Baldwin or Greening apples, core and cut in thin slices; line your pie plate with pastry, place a layer of apples over this and sprinkle with brown sugar, then another, and so on until the plate is full and heaped in the middle. Over the top dot bits of butter. Shake a pinch of salt over the whole and a dash of red pepper, which will give a rich, pungent seasoning that other spices will not; wet the edge of the lower crust, press both edges together firmly. Bake a rich brown. CANNED PEACH MOUSSE Slice canned peaches to the amount of one quart. Rub through a sieve; add sugar to taste and two quarts of whipped cream. Heap the mousse lightly in individual molds, pack in ice and salt, and let it stand from four to six hours. When ready to serve, unmold and garnish with siloed peaches.

Our aspirations are not for any individual interest of the race, as it tends to the elevation of the whole. Our greatest drawback has been our selfishness, which is unworthy of us as a race. Broad and generous actions should be our chief desire and a liberal thought our guidance. A selfish motive is a destructive agency and its cultivation works disastrous to the betterment of our condition. Unscrupulous leaders have done the race much harm in pouring upon it purely personal motives, which, as past history of this city has proven, is a detriment to the advancement of any people. We would be unworthy of your respect to bid you do that which your judgment and conscience do not warrant, hence we ask you as a thinking people to do your duty. Formulate yourself into a strong body that you may derive the greatest good. Race pride should be the paramount idea of every Afro-American, and only broad, liberal and fair-minded men and women can distill this great incentive into our minds. Beware of false leaders and cowardly politicians whose sole object is self-elevation. Turn such people down, as they are only fit for the class in which they train. Read and think, and your actions will be commensurate with your judgment. Build up the race morally, financially and politically, then the thinking public will give you their support. Relegate false friends to the rear where they belong and the race will have an onward march. THROUGH SACRIFICE The best of everything in the world is gained by sacrifice. Nothing permanent or good is added to the world's store, or to any nation's or race's credit, by the narrow selfishness which takes no account of the good of others. The Jewish religion was founded on the idea of individual sacrifice of worldly goods. The modern Christian religion, with its vast and endless flood of benefits to humanity, sprang from the atoning life and death of Jesus, who took the burden of the world's sins, that the world might have wisdom, light and salvation. But it is ever inaccordance with God's immutable law that men and the world shall prosper through sacrifice. We who live today are enjoying the benefits arising out of the sacrifices of those who lived a generation or more before us. Sixty years ago, men and women who had left civilization and luxury far behind, were enduring all manner of hardships and suffering death to open up this western country where, today, we have but to stretch out the hand to touch the pulse of the whole civilized world. And yet as the pioneers of the fifties and sixties were blazing the way for us, others of today are pushing out from us and carrying the torch of progress into other dark and unknown corners of the earth. It is true that in all this centuring, some idea of personal benefit leads the pioneer, but that idea is also connected with the expectation that the world's tide of progress will blow in their wake. They sacrifice ease and tranquility for the greater good of those who are to follow them, including first their own progeny. But the frontiersman is not alone in applying this principle. The man who leaves the crowded city now and takes up land from whence the dangers of the early days have fled, and who, with the patient help of a devoted wife, plods and sacrifices and works to develop that land, places himself in the category of noble pioneers. He may know that the steady nursing of natural resources may, in ten or twenty years, bring him a ranch upon which rare crops of fruit or cereals are raised, or where some valuable breed of stock is bred, and that then his latter years will be easy, but better than that will be his knowledge that he has set an example and opened a way for many others to follow. His sacrifices will leave a permanent record upon the progress of a community and perhaps a whole race. Intelligence, patient devotion to a well-chosen idea, frugality and willingness to bear hardships are the requisites. Business enterprises begin in the same manner. A small beginning, self-denial, determination, steady improvement and a smile for hardships are the step-stones to success. But the sacrifice of present ease and profligacy is absolutely necessary. The Negro is too eager to enjoy and too unwilling to sacrifice. SPRUCE UP. The annual renovating time is drawing nigh. The local improvement societies have begun reminding citizens of their duties regarding the general appearance of town or city, and people who need no such admonitions have already begun to paint, whitewash and to clean out rubbish from house and yard. It is a good habit to get into, and one which, once acquired, needs no outside spur to make it permanently effective, for it is self-satisfying and generally profitable. The value of a thing is enhanced by its neat appearance. A property rents better or sells quicker and for better price, if it is in its best shape. That tenant is most desirable who takes good care of his house and yard and whose scrupulous cleanliness is always noticeable. He becomes a favorite with his landlord and an example to his neighbors. But above all, the health of himself and family is better guarded. A great deal of sickness is traceable to sanitary neglect and dirt. Epidermics generally have their start and growth in untidy home conditions. The most ravaging diseases are those which breed in the homes of the poor and slothful. There is a widely mistaken notion that poverty is an excuse for dirt. While water is accessible to every householder and soap easily attainable, this excuse is a makeshift. The grease and stains on your doors, windows and woodwork and the settled dust and dirt on your shelves, curtains, ranges and house furnishings, is an indictment against your regard for your own health and welfare and against that of your neighbors. They cost you the respect of every person who steps into your house, and possibly of every person who passes and takes notice, unless he himself is a sloth. But tidiness and neatness in the appearance of one's house attracts where dirt and neglect repel. The most of us live by what we get to do for other people, and no matter what others may want us to, they take note of our personal appearance and methods. The man-of-all-work with a tidy home, a bright, clean cart and shifty appearance, gets more work and better pay than the ragged and dusty dirt purveyor who does not seem to care anything about his looks. And it is the same with the chore man, the ash man, the house man, the porter, the butler, the coachman, the waiter, the janitor, the yard man, the milk man, the cook, the barber, the painter, and every other individual whose work brings him in touch with the person, the food or the property of others. The woman who works runs the same gauntlet and must bear even a severer test, for there is a common conviction that a dirty woman is filthier and more abhorrent than a dirty man. Either one is always repellant and the first and direct cause of his or her own failures. But it is easy to cure these evils if one will determine to exercise care and judgment and to have regard for those conditions and convictions which must dominate domesticity and business alike among reputable people. Clean up both house and person, no matter how poor you are! By ELIZABETH G. EVANS, Boston I IN THE outtery against the employment of women as core-makers in foundries, the most important aspect of the question is escaping attention. The alleged unsuitability of the work to a woman's dignity and strength is made prominent; the rate of her pay is denounced; but the effect of her competition upon the standard of wages in the trade, which is really the crux of the whole difficulty, is too little mentioned. In and by itself, core making, which means fashioning the mold for castings, is well suited to a woman's deft fingers, provided she is employed only on the smaller forms and provided her work is properly supplemented by that of men to do the heavy lifting and carrying. Indeed, the occupation is a particularly attractive one from the creative element which it involves. In the foundry which I investigated the interest which the women appeared to take in their work was noticeable and in striking contrast to anything I have seen in other factories, while the only things I observed which could be legitimately criticised were a lack of seats (which, I am told, are supplied in some establishments), and a tube or pipe in common use which the women put into their mouths in spraying the material they are shaping. As to wages, judging from this one foundry, they are far better than those prevailing in some of the typically feminine callings. Hence, from the point of view of the women as individuals, coremaking would seem to be by no means an undesirable occupation. Nevertheless, the presence of women in foundries is a menace against which labor is very properly aroused. It is a menace because men with a standard wage of $3 a day are being displaced by women who do their work for half the wages or less. And men whose wages are threatened not unnaturally regard this feminine invasion with indignation and even abhorrence. But is this menace best met by trying to drive women from the trade and make it that much harder for some other man's sister or daughter to earn an honest living? Why not rather help her to get full value for her producing power? The competition of women in this industry is a menace because they can be hired so cheap. And one reason they can be bought cheap is because they sell their labor for any price offered where men have learned take a hand in setting their own price and to bargain collectively for that price, to the end that one shall not undersell the other. We frequently hear the regret expressed that the days of chivalry are no more. Maybe, but this writer has been impressed with the fact that, if days of masculine chivalry have passed, ladylike and gentle manners have diminished in accordance, and even common courtesy has been impaired. Many Women Forget Good Manners By F. M. Mansfield Half a dozen times in the last two weeks the writer has seen men rise and offer seats to women who were standing. In one case the woman thanked the man kindly, but most of them made haste to avail themselves of the opportunity without a glance toward the one who offered it, to say nothing of speaking a word of thanks. One well gowned woman, when offered a seat by a laboring man whose clothes bespoke his plasterer's trade, merely elevated her chin and gave him a withering glance by way of acknowledgment and refusal. Let us be glad that such instances are only exceptions to the rule, and that the majority of women do appreciate the kindness offered them. And may the others realize their part in re-establishing the good manners for which the elder days were famous. The American people are prone to waste. It is a truism that a family on the continent of Europe will live upon what the average American family will throw away. How People Save Money in Europe By Karl Bickler Even in small things this Yankee disposition to prodigality is manifest. For instance, the Germans, in their correspondence, use extremely thin envelopes, which proves their habit of saving in minor matters. The German double envelope is not more than half as heavy as the American envelope of equal size. The thinness of the paper, of course, cuts down the cost of postage, and yet the envelope is clever and attractive, and does its work just as well as the bulky ones in use in this country. It would seem that so good an idea would be copied on this side of the Atlantic, but so far no demand has been observed or else the American envelope makers would have busied themselves to duplicate the foreign article. The flag being an emblem, and the Stars and Stripes being emblematic of liberty in its broadest sense, any one undertaking to abridge the liberty of the citizens of this country represented by this flag does more to insult it than he who tramples it under his feet. What Is An Insult To Our Flag? By John M. Stiles The defenders of the flag, the army and navy of the nation, first, every loyal citizen and believer in what the flag stands for cannot but feel just indignation when the nation's honor is called in question. It is a shame to have to admit that there are people in our country who delight in ridiculing our sailors and soldiers, and they go still further and disobey the mandates of our courts and teach others to do so, and after doing all this they want to be called respectable. These people may become so satisfied of their ability to take care of themselves and to wipe out the army and navy and the judicial and executive departments of the government that they might become a menace to the rest of us.

It is brimful of news and ably edited by Mrs. Julia Embry, one of the brainsiest and most popular ladies of "Little Lunnon." The Colorado Statesman extends the glad hand and wishes The Eagle unbounded success. News was received last week of the sudden death of Mrs. Helen Lindsey Henderson, the daughter of Mrs. Annie Lindsey. Death was caused by asphyxiation. The remains were interred at Everett, Washington. She leaves in this city a grandmother, Mrs. Lina Hayden, and an uncle and aunt to mourn her loss. Rev. P. Holmes of 2024 West Twelfth avenue celebrated the fifty-fourth anniversary of his natal day last Friday, March 15th. The friends present had an enjoyable time with pleasant converse and a dainty menu of paltable refreshments which they enjoyed hugely. The Colorado Statesman wishes Rev. Holmes many more birthdays. AS QUIET as it is kept in certain quarters we have a fight on hand that will require a united front in order to win in the approaching spring election. The Colorado Statesman therefore urges the colored voters to attend the primaries this afternoon and see to it that none but true men and women are elected as delegates to the convention. We must be on guard in order to protect our interests. Remaining home and finding fault with results is a poor thing to do. If you desire representation go after it—fight for it, and then respect and honor it, While the dance is on, don't content yourself with playing all the time but take a whirl occasionally while the other fellow is playing. You must be found on the firing line, and when the cry is made, "To the victors belong the spoils!" it will not be necessary to hold a court of inquiry to determine whether or not you were actually in the engagement. March 15, 1912. I, David S. Eley, of No. 2129 Champa Street, Secretary and Treasurer of The Prior Furniture Company, hereby announce my candidacy for the nomination for Alderman of the Third Ward on the "Citizens" Ticket, or will run Independent. HOME INDUSTRY SHOW. This has been a week of unusual activity among our home manufacturers, aided by our wide-awake merchants, who are working hand in hand to advertise home productions. Never before has such an effort been put forth to foster and protect our local manufacturers. The citizens of Colorado should look first to our homemade articles, as there are but few things that they need but what are made or produced right here at home. Everybody who has the interest of the state at heart should visit the various stores and see what magnificent displays are made by our manufacturers. The purchasing of goods labeled "Made in Colorado" should be come a public by-word. So let everybody boost for our home made goods! CITY MISSION UNION MEETING. The City Mission Union, composed of Zion, Central and Bethlehem churches, held their annual meeting Friday, March 15th, at Bethlehem Church. After reports from various committees and churches, the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, Mrs. H. E. Reynolds. 1st Vice President, Miss Nancy Tyler. 2nd Vice President, Mrs. D. E. Over. Recording Secretary, Mrs. Minnie Williams. Corresponding Secretary, Miss Fanchon Thrashly. Treasurer, Mrs. M. E. Riley. Historian, Mrs. M. E. Riley. Chairman Program Committee, Mrs J. M. Mason. Chairman Sick Committee, Mrs. Cal lie Steele. Chairman Courtesy Committee, Mrs Mary Dixon. City Missionary, Miss B. Thrashley Organist, Miss B. Thrashley. Today the final test will be made as to whether the Republicans will remain loyal to party principles or divide their forces. Every Republican should attend the primaries this afternoon from 4 to 7 and see to it that none but good men and women are sent as delegates to the conventions. It is very important and should not be neglected. The delegates elected this afternoon will elect delegates to the state convention, who will in turn elect delegates to the national Republican convention that will name the party's next standard bearer. We must not lose sight of the fact that these same delegates to the congressional convention which will nominate the candidate who will be the next congressman from this district. Let every colored Republican turn out and vote at these primaries which are the legal ground upon which the battle can be fought, and the only ones upon which peace can be made.

Henry B. Brown, B. D., Priest. The services of the past Sunday were the best attended since the new Priest, Father Brown, took charge. The day being a fine one, many availed themselves of the opportunity to worship, and the church was well filled, both at the morning and evening services. At 11 o'clock the rich and beautiful Eucharistic service was impressively rendered, the congregation heartily responding. The sermon of the Priest brought home the teaching of the Gospel for the day, that of Christ feeding the multitude, and its application, of Christ as "The Bread of Life." The Sunday School also had its largest attendance, the full staff of teachers being present. The new assistant superintendent, Dr. Westbrook, who in answer to the Priest's appeal, very kindly volunteered his services, will enter upon his duties on Sunday. Our staff of officers and teachers is now complete. The Rev. Fred W. Oakes, Chaplain of the Chapel of Our Merciful Saviour, gave a very interesting and helpful sermon in the evening. On Sunday morning, at 11 o'clock, the Priest will preach from the subject, "The Sinlessness of Jesus." The second class for holy baptism, consisting of infants and children, will receive this sacrament at the same service. At Choral Evensong, (7:45 o'clock), the Very Rev. Dean Hart of St. John's Cathedral will be the special preacher. The Sunday School officers and teachers will meet at the Priest's residence on Monday evening at 8:30 o'clock.

On Friday evening next, the Right Rev. Charles Olmsted, D. D., Bishop of the Diocese, will be the special preacher. You are cordially invited to attend any or all of these services; and, if you have not a Church home, would gladly welcome you to ours. CATHOLIC SCHOOL FOR NEGROES Columbus, Ohio, March 10. Bishop James J. Hartley, of the Columbus diocese of the Catholic church, announced the promised realization of hopes for a Negro school for the city under the control of the church. While the plans have not been completed, the building probably will cost $10,000. The school will be in charge of Catholic Sisters, but will be open to every denomination. Mother Catherine Drexel, of Philadelphia, head of the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament, the order which has charge of practically all the Catholic colored school work in this country, was in the city a few weeks ago, conferring with Bishop Hartly, and arrangements have been made for four Sisters of the order to come to Columbus to take charge of the school when it is opened.

GENERAL. John F. Hill, former governor of Maine, acting chairman of the Republican National committee, died in Boston recently. A Mobile & Ohio passenger train was held up near Corinth, Miss., and the express safe blown open and $60,000 in currency taken. A police magistrate in Sterling, Ill., fined his wife $25 for contempt of court and ordered the bailiff to lock her up if the fine was not paid. Seventen hundred of the thirty-four hundred mine workers who quit work in the Panther Creek valley at Pottsville, Pa., have returned to work. Mahlon Pitney of New Jersey recently took the oath of office and assumed the duties of associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States at Washington, D. C. Business in the steel industry is accompanied by developments of unusual interest and importance. The coal strike in Europe is responsible for greater activity in steel products in New York and the prospective suspension of mining operations in this country has stimulated placing orders for both finished and semi-finished steel for prompt shipment. Under lowering skies and a heavy sea the old battleship Maine, resurrected after fourteen years' burial in Havana harbor, plunged with her colors flying to her everlasting rest, 600 fathoms deep, in the waters of the gulf. The sinking of the hulk was carried out precisely as planned, marking the end of the work begun more than a year and a half ago. The Delaware, Lackawanna & Western railroad was found guilty in United States District Court in Buffalo of violating the commodities clause of the Hepburn act and was fined $2,000. The company was indicted on 20 counts and faced a maximum penalty of $100,000, the charge being that it shipped free from Buffalo to Scranton, Pa., a quantity of hay to be used in feeding mules in the mines. Wage increases aggregating more than $10,000,000 will go into the pockets of New England textile workers during the next twelve months, according to authoritative estimates of the result of the present upward trend of wages in cotton and woolen mills. On the basis of an annual payroll of $79,000,000 in the woolen mills, the increase there will amount to $5,600,000, while cotton mill operatives will receive an advance of $5,000,000. Read Admiral George W. Melville, U. S. Navy, retired, died at his home in Philadelphia of paralysis. He was national commander of the Loyal Legion at the time of his death. Rear Admiral Melville, who was placed on the retired list January 10, 1903, was seventy-two years old. For sixteen years he was chief of the bureau of steam engineering in the Navy Department, and was a member of both the Jeannette and the Greeley relief expeditions to the Arctic Circle. The end of the chase of the Hillsville, Va., raiders brought the death list of the courthouse tragedy and its sequel up to five. Sidna and Floyd Allen, two of the chiefs of the band which rode down on the Carroll county court house and assassinated the judge, the prosecutor and the sheriff, are in captivity—both wounded severely. Sidna Allen's wife is dead, shot in a pitched battle with a posse in the mountains while helping to defend her outlaw husband. The fifth death was that of Nancy Ayres, a nineteen-year-old girl, accidentally shot during the fusillade in the court house. A tornado struck New Douglas, Madison county, Illinois, unroofed several houses, wrecked the Pange flour mill and broke scores of windows. Smithboro and Greenville and other small towns were damaged. In Greenville 125 houses were wrecked. President Taft may take a hand in the coal situation to avert a strike in the anthracite fields. The President is said to be preparing to follow the precedent established by his predecessor and bring pressure to bear on the anthracite coal operators to make concessions in the interests of peace.

Meeker.—Stockmen report this to have been the longest feeding season known for many years on this slope, and think it may continue another month. The hay supply of the valley has been practically exhausted, although there is thought to be enough on hand to tide them over. Cattle have not suffered. Man Catches Lion In Tree. Meeker.—To deliberately climb a tree, unarmed in pursuit of a mountain lion, follow the beast out to the farthermost limb, and, as it sprang at him, catch it headforemost in the folds of a coat, is a feat of daring unequalled in the annals of animal hunters. It was done by Richard Tovey, a well known trapper, in response to an order from Colorado Springs for a live mountain lion. He succeeded in capturing the beast in a manner not spectacular, but dangerous. Tovey treed the lion—a full-grown, magnificent specimen—and, dropping his gun and peeling off his coat, climbed after it. As Tovey approached, the animal retreated farther and farther, finally reaching the extreme end of a swaying branch where it crouched and watched its cautiously approaching enemy. When Tovey arrived within a few feet of the beast it sprang at him. He had barely time to straighten up and open nis coat, fan-like, when the lion struck, hear foremost, a gnashing, scratching mass, squarely within its folds. The impact caused Tovey to lose his balance, and the two fell to the ground, but during the brief descent Tovey managed to wind the coat securely about the great cat, and even the jar of the landing did not loosen his hold. The singular thing was that neither Tovey nor the lion was hurt. Windsor. — The Farmers' union passed a resolution protesting against lending the $150,000 asked by Adjt. Gen.

With the entire area covered with snow to a depth of two feet, fast melting and soaking the ground far down; with 60,000 acres of fall wheat practically made, with every reservoir in the county assured of being filled to its utmost capacity, farmers and business men are anticipating a prosperous year. Colorado ditch owners, who claim priorities to the use of water from the Arkansas river and the right to divert the water for use in this state as against Kansas consumers, must now go to trial on the merits of the suit filed by the United States Irrigating Company, a Wyoming corporation, in which it is sought to enjoin 20 different ditch companies in the Arkansas valley from an alleged unlawful diversion of the water claimed to be owned by Kansas appropriators.

ENGRAVERS-PRINTERS CUTS TAULKS DENVER, COLO PLAN AND SCOPE OF EXPOSITION Senators Favor Appropriation for Industrial Celebration. BILL PROVIDES FOR $250,000— MAJ. R. R. WRIGHT AND HIS ASSOCIATES HOLD SUCCESSFUL CONFERENCE WITH SEN- ATE COMMITTEE ON INDUSTRIAL EXPOSITIONS—CONVINCING FACTS BY DRS. WRIGHT, DU BOIS AND ROSS. Washington.—A committee of prominent colored citizens appeared before the senate committee on industrial expositions in Washington recently in behalf of the bill introduced by Senator Bradley of Kentucky providing for an appropriation of $250,000 for an exhibition of the progress of the race since emancipation. Senator Root of New York presided, and Senators Crane of Massachusetts, Taylor of Tennessee, Newlands of Nevada, Paynter of Kentucky, Stephenson of Wisconsin, Jones of Washington, Works of California, Gronna of North Dakota and Swanson of Virginia were present. The speakers representing the negro emancipation association were Major R. R. Wright of Savanah, Ga.; Dr. R. R. Wright Jr., editor of the Christian Recorder, Philadelphia; Professor W. E. B. Du Bois of New York and Rev. I. N. Ross of Washington, each having assigned to him a particular phase of the discussion. After Senator Root opened the meeting Senator Bradley introduced Major R. R. Wright, who told the object of the exposition, the success he had had for the past six years in exhibiting the progress of the negroes in Georgia and reasons why national aid should be given this exposition. He stated that since 1876 the government had appropriated over $25,000,000 for expositions. He now asked for only 1 per cent of that amount, $250,000, which is only 1/2 cent for each negro inhabitant in the country. Major Wright then introduced his son, Dr. R. R. Wright Jr., who would show the committee what progress the negroes had made which would warrant an exhibition. This was done by a comparison between the condition of the race in 1860 and in 1910. Dr. Wright said the population had more than doubled, being 4,500,000 in 1860 and 10,000,000 now; the illiteracy had been cut in half, being 96 per cent in 1860 and 44.5 per cent in 1900, possibly under 40 per cent today. Public school attendance had risen from practically nothing to 3,000,000. In labor negroes have risen from farm laborers to the control of 917,000 farms and the ownership of 250,000 farms. They have held their own as farm laborers, besides developing other trades. New occupations, unknown 50 years ago, have emerged. There are 60,000 negroes in professions today. Negro physicians, lawyers, etc., unknown in the south to the generation before the war, are now in every city. Negro teachers number 250,000. Negro property holders have emerged. No accurate count has ever been made. Fully 500,00 homes and farms are owned. Wealth of the negro is estimated at $1,000,000,000. Negro literature, art and music tell a story of progress. There are over 200 newspapers, 500 negro authors. Some of the most popular music of the day is written by negroes, and negro musicians have appeared on every principal American stage, and negro artists exhibited in our leading art galleries. Dr. Wright told of the growth of negro banks, insurance companies, real estate operation, etc.; also of negro organizations, their towns, churches, secret orders, saying that, whereas the race 50 years ago was not organized, today organization is the rule rather than the exception. One above 21 years of age is organized. These items represent some of the facts of our progress, a story which cannot but interest and encourage all who have at heart the progress of our country. The committee showed special interest in the recital of the progress. Next Senator Crane introduced Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois of New York, who told the plan of the exposition. It is to be held between Jan. 1, 1913, and Dec. 11. There are to be, first, collected maps, pictures, models, etc., representing Africa and African industry. There would also be exhibitions of, second, the negro physique; third, negro population; fourth, negro occupations; fifth, negro education; sixth, negro organization; seventh, negro in civics, negro cities, etc. There would be awards and medals for meritorious exhibits. A grand historical pageant, a musical festival and finally a permanent exhibit. Dr. J. N. Ross, pastor of the Metropolitan church, Washington, made the closing address on the good such an exhibition would do. His speech was pronounced one of the most eloquent and pointed five-minute speeches ever made before the committee. Dr. Ross said in substance: "Such an exposition would show the real significance of the American form of government and the meaning of American opportunity." "Second—It would be an inspiration to millions of our people who do not know the opportunities that are theirs and who are despondent because of ignorance of the progress made by their race. "Third.—It would inspire hope and respect in the whites. They would then see a side of the negro which is not usually seen and would be brought to respect him more, thus bringing about a more friendly feeling among the races. "Fourth—It would also show the world that America has interest in all her people." Senator Bradley then made a few remarks and Major Wright thanked the committee, which went immediately into executive session and after a short deliberation decided to report the bill favorably, which has since been done and also placed on the regular senate calendar. A NEGRO WAS ONCE LEADER OF THE SIOUX TRIBE OF INDIANS Galveston, Tex.—Judge M. T. Von Rhaden, whose official title is police magistrate at the town of Creighton, in northern Nebraska, who has been spending a short time in Galveston, tells some interesting stories about his section of the country and the little town which is on the border of the big Indian reservation for the three or four tribes of Sioux. Judge Von Rhaden speaks several languages including Sioux, and, having lived for many years in the Indian country, is familiar with the manner and traits of the wily red man, who is living in ease with plenty at the expense of Uncle Sam. "There is a thrifty family of half breeds up there," said the judge. "These people are the children of old man Godfrey, a Louisiana slave negro, who died a little over a year ago at the age of eighty-two years. "About the time of breaking out of the war between the states he ran away from his master in Louisiana and went to Minnesota and took up his home with the Sloux. He spoke French and English and soon picked up the Indian language, and, being a desperate negro, became a leader with the bucks, who, in those days, were a bloodthirsty set of redskins. "It was in 1863 that the New Ulm massacre took place and the band of cut-throat Indians on this memorable occasion were led by Godfrey when they raided this peaceful settlement in Minnesota, killing men, women and children. Quitting the reservation and ignoring the commands of the soldiers, who tried to prevent their going on the warpath, the red devils swooped down upon the little town about the noon hour. Not satisfied with killing and scalping the helpless women and the men who so heroically, but ineffectually, defended their families, the savages threw the babies they found in the red-hot ovens in the homes. With the few troops left to guard the Indians, because of the war between the states, the government had a hard time getting this band of several hundred back on the reservation. "In due course the government began the trial of half hundred or so of the supposed leaders in the massacre who had been imprisoned upon return to the reservation. Among them, of course, was Godfrey; the negro, who had an advantage over many of his red brother because he spoke English. And he was a shrewd negro, though a most desperate character, as you can imagine a black man who became a leader of a tribe of savage Sloux. About ten or twelve of the Indians were sentenced to be shot for participation in the massacre; others were given life sentences in prison and others from ten to thirty years in prison. When it came time for the execution and the Indians were called from their prison, the tricky Godfrey, upon the calling of his name pushed another Indian out in line, telling the redskin in his own language that the officers were calling his name, and this redskin paid the extreme penalty, while his black brother mixed with the short-term prisoners, and in course of time was liberated. "I understand that some years later the government discovered the plot, but for some reason or other Godfrey was not molested again. I presume the government figured that it didn't make much difference whether it was a redskin or a blackskin and that all of them were equally as guilty. "But Godfrey was known to the white settlers, and while he lived to a ripe old age he feared the white man, and had reason to. He left the reservation but twice or three times during his life, and on each occasion had a narrow escape from being murdered. One time he crossed the river in his boat and was shot at, but he managed to reach his canoe and escape with whole skin, although the boat was riddled with shot, some of which penetrated his clothes. He soon learned that he was a marked man and began to live in dread of the palace.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. WOES OF WHISKER WEARERS Former Senator Tom Carter, in the debate before the National Press club of Washington as to whether a beard or a bald head was the greater disadvantage to a man, claimed that a beard was a wonderful help. Carter, by the way, has a beard which would make an alfalfa field look like an arid and dusty desert. Soon after the debate he received from one of his Montana friends this communication: "Dear Tom: Your speech on whiskers seemed to settle all the disputed points except one. What we can't decide out here, and what we want you to tell us, is: When a man goes to bed, ought he to put his beard under the covers or leave it outside?"—Popular Magazine. MINE WRECKED 105 LIVES LOST TERRIBLE EXPLOSION IN COAL MINE AT McCURTAIN, ONLY ELEVEN ESCAPE ONLY ELEVEN ESCAPE GOVERNMENT MINE EXPERTS ARE CONDUCTING RES CUE WORK. Western Newspaper Union News Service. McCurtain, Okla.—One hundred and five lives is accepted as an approximately correct estimate of the human toll taken when mine No. 2 of the San Bois Coal Company here was wrecked by an explosion. Of 116 men of the day shift, only eleven are known to be alive, while the others are entombed behind the debris. In the opinion of government experts and mine officials they are dead and a special train which brought physicians and nurses from Ft. Smith, Ark., returned. Five physicians remained, on the faint hope that some of the imprisoned men might be found alive. Among those unaccounted for are members of a surveying party headed by'W. D. Roper of Clio, South Carolina. Forty-three Americans were employed in the mine. Ralph Kenny, son of Rev. J. A. Kenny of Fort Smith, Ark., was with Roper. Those on the surface heard a faint rumble and an earth tremor when the explosion occurred. When those nearest the mouth of the mine reached the opening, a cloud of dust and smoke belched forth. Then came tense`moments of waiting for those in the mine to emerge Frank Field, a miner, was the first to stagger out. He was walking in an entry and heard the explosion, he said. He jumped into a side room and later made his way to the mine opening. Nine other miners escaped through a "manway." A "rope rider" who was coming to the surface when the explosion occurred, was the eleventh man to escape. The first rescuet party could get no farther than the sixth level, because of the accumulation of debris. They returned to the surface with the body of John Colwas, aged seventeen. Rescue work was halted until the arrival of mine experts from the government station at McAlester, Okla. Systematic work was begun, half a hundred rescuers working in relays. They brought out four bodies, blackened, burned and practically unrecognizable. Later it was reported a rescuing party had found sixteen more bodies which would be brought out on the last trip of the rescuing party. After their first survey of the wrecked mine, government experts expressed the opinion that all of the men imprisoned are dead and seventy-five coffins were ordered. Mayor Bourland of Fort Smith has issued an appeal for aid for the families of the victims. Would Free Philippines. Washington.—Qualified or probationary independence for eight years, from July 4, 1913, until July 4, 1921; after that, full independence for the Filipinos. This is the plan of the leaders of the Democratic House of Representatives with respect to the solution of the "Philippine problem." American Capital Threatened. El Paso, Texas.—Foreign capital, mostly American, aggregating $125, 000,000, and invested in the border Mexican states of Durango, Coahulla and Chihuahua, is non-productive and threatened by reason of the revolution, according to information in the possession of El Paso bankers. Kansas Fruit Prospects Good. Topeka; Kan.—Kansas fruit prospects have never been better than they were this year, according to the sec retary of the State Horticultural Society. Big Gas Well Struck. Dunkirk, N. Y.—A gas well struck near Silver Creek, is flowing 3,000,000 feet a day. It is the biggest gusher erer struck in New York gas fields. Trenton, N. J.—The New Jersey State Senate defeated a resolution providing for the right of suffrage for women. Denver Federal Building Ready July 1. Washington.—Supervising Architect J. Knox Taylor has informed Gen. George W. Cook that he would positively complete the new federal building in Denver by July 1, 1912, ready to be occupied. Fear, Mississippi, Floods St. Louis.-River men are apprehensive of floods along the Mississippi river because of the rapid breaking up of the ice and melting of snow. $25.00 COLONIST FARES 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.
