Says THE NEGRO IN CITIES Professor Haynes Speaks before the Ethical Culture Society on the Race Problem. Says adjustment of Conditions necessary about Segregation. (New York Age.) "The Problem of the Negro in Cities" was the subject of an address delivered before the Ethical Culture Society Sunday by George E. Haynes, professor of social science at Fisk University. Prof. Haynes stated that the problem of adjustment to the Negro's newer surroundings is the problem of justice in America, and is chiefly determined by the attitude of the white race toward the Negro. "Along with others, I have been charged with approving this Negro concentration in cities, and some may think that I am not in sympathy with education in agricultural arts, and with other efforts for improvement among rural Negroes. With education in agriculture I am in hearty sympathy, and there is not an effort for the improvement of Negro rural communities that does not have my heartiest endorsement. But what I am trying to call attention to is that the present migration to cities which we all observe, is a fairly constant movement that will result in a large, permanent Negro urban population, in the face of what is being done in the rural community; and that education and other measures to meet rural conditions, however effective, should not lead us to lessen our concern about the conditions growing up in the cities. During this month I have noticed articles in two leading newspapers claiming that there is a decided back-to the land movement of all our population. Especially may we wish the Negro to remain on the farm. But however decidedly we may agree upon the wisdom of his returning there, yet such opinion and argument that he is returning are not all erroneous, but wrong in view of the facts in the case. As loyal American citizens, we need to face these facts and act accordingly. "The second division of my subject is that of the segregation of the Negro population within the cities into districts and neighborhoods. This can be more easily presented because evidences of it are open to every observer. New York has its "San Juan Hill" in the West Sixties, its Harlem dis. VOL. XVII1. trict of over, 25,000, within about fourteen city blocks; Philadelphia has its Seventh Ward; Chicago has its State street, and Baltimore its Druid Hill avenue; Louisville, Ky., has its Chestnut street and its Smoketown; Atlanta its South and West Ends. These are examples taken at random which are typical of cities, large and small, North and South. "As in the case of migration to the cities, the segregation within the ciites is caused by strong forces at work, both within and without the body of the Negroes them selves. First, of course, is the natural desire of Negroes to be together. The consciousness of kind in family, racial, and neighborhood ties bind them closer to one another than to their white fellow-citizens. But, as Negroes develop in morals, intelligence, and in their standard of living, they wish to move to better surroundings than those allotted to them and their less fortunate black brothers. This desire, contrary to what some claim, is not because they care especially to live in white neighborhoods, but because they have learned that they can get better houses, better public facilities, and other comforts of life by the change. Just as the Hebrews, Italians, Slavs, and other immigrants who are crowded into segregated surroundings when a better economic foothold enables them to secure improvements, so Negroes who can raise their standard of living seek better neighborhoods in which to reside. "But the Negro meets an opposition from his prospective white neighbors that does not confront the immigrant who has shuffled off the coil of his Continental condition. For it is a peculiarity of many white Americans that, while in the North, they accord to the Negro political privileges, and in the South they treat him with individual kindness, they do not wish to have him own a residence in the same block. They profess the ideal principal of the brotherhood of man, but prefer to reach over into another ward to grasp their black brother by the hand. "Now this opposition of white neighbors is not always based upon the reasonable objection to ignorance and filth, for it expresses itself as decidedly against the cul- State Hist & Nat Hist Biosci State House HANTS WE ADC THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORAD tured families of Negro ministers, lawyers, physicians, and business men of Harlem as it does against the ignorant and vicious element of Myrtle avenue. Negroes find that respectability is hardly a recommendation to impartial treatment, and that even the willingness to pay a higher rental does not often secure houses in desirable localities. "This opposition has expressed itself in various ways. In some cities it has been effective through agents and owners. When the real estate agents or owners could not or would not prevent a Negro invasion of a block or neighborhood, sometimes the white tenants and householders have gathered their belongings together, like the Arab, and as silently moved away. In Baltimore the opposition has become consciously organized and secured city legislation, while in Kansas City recently it sank to violent criminality, and used dynamite to wreck residences inhabited by Negroes. "And what is the sequel of this segregation within the city? In many cases it means less effective police protection; in others it means unpaved or poorly paved, unswept streets; absence of adequate sewerage, ungathered garbage, and the lack of other sanitary requirements. It often causes the respectable and decent to be unable to protect themselves and their families from contact with vice and crime, because the blocks in which the respectable and disreputable may live are limited. It means in some cities poorer street car service for the Negro section. It frequently leads the white community to an unjust judgement of these neighborhoods as may be seen by the sobriquets of "Little Africa," "black bottom," "nigger town," and families who live in these neighborhoods are all lumped by popular opinion into one class. "The last but not the least serious result is that the better element of white people and the better element of colored people are thus entirely removed from neighborhood contact; they know hardly anything of their common life and tend to become more hostile toward each other than toward the strangers without the gates. "Now, with this permanent migration and decided segregation there is developing and crystalizing a Negro world that in many of the cities has a life almost separate and apart both from white people and from the life of the white community. In the North, where larger liberty in some lines obtains, the home life, the church life, and much of the business life of Negroes and separately conducted. In the South, with separate street-car arrangements in practically every city, with separate coaches on railroads, separate ```markdown ``` schools, separate churches, and even separate cemeteries, a large part of the life of many Negreos is separate from the whites almost from the cradle to the grave. ALBUQUERQUE NEWS. E. A. Williams was on the sick list last week. Rev. A. Richard received the sad news of the serious illness of his baby girl at his nome in Junction City, Ark. Mrs. Marie Cochran left for Adamana, Ariz., where she will receive a position as head cook in the State Hotel. Easter Sunday was well observed in our city, the Mt. Olive Baptist church and the A. M. E church held beautiful exercises at their respective churches, and all the participants on the program were well trained and rendered excellent services for the occasion and all who attended the exercises were well pleased. Rev. G. H. Byas who has been collecting money for over a year for the purpose of building a Negro Sanitarium for the invilids and sick Negroes, will make his published report to the citizens as soon as he can get his accounts itemized, as he feels that this is the proper methods to take in the handling of public money. The Second District Arizona conference and Sunday School of the A. M. E. church that was held in this city came to a close last Thursday evening. Fairly good crowds were in attendance. We are at a loss to say whether it was a success or a failure, not a visiting layman or minister attended the conference, none but home talent was used on the program, yet outside talent was given space on the programs. Presiding Elder W. H. Prince did not put in an appearance. In some respects the conference received a cold shoulder. The people of our city who are always loyal and charitable to all visitors are wandering who is to blame for this deliberate slight. Rev. G. H. Byas the chairman of the conference cannot account for the stay at homes. Searches for Buried Treasure. A countess who lives near Rome it carrying on a search for buried treasure. She found in her library an old manuscript, wherein was told of a treasure buried in her land, and directions given for the excavations.

Their total wealth is estimated to be $600,-000. Greensbore, N. C. April 3. Because he had not paid a nickle that James Hill, a fourteen year-old boy of Goldsboro claimed was due him, Ned Jones, an old Negro, was shot and killed by the boy, who, it is stated, fired two shots with a rifle. After the killing he was captured and held to court by a coroner's jury with an eleven-year-old boy who was with him. Both boys were placed in jail. To work hard for a living and fight race prejudice at the same time is the experience of many persons Dr. Booker T Washington says any man who has to work against poverty and race prejudice at the same time has a gigantic problem to cope with. That is true, and the success of the colored people in this country has been marvelous in view of the foregoing facts. It takes a person or a race of more than ordinary patience, physical and mental capacity, grit and persistence to stem the tide of injustice and inequality of opportunity such as the colored people in the United State have to combat, and yet they are brave and optimistic. Editor W. T. Stead, of the Review of Reviews, London, England, classes Dr. Booker T. Washington as one among the greatest men. Well measuring greatness by performance, guess the world must conclude that Mr. Washington belongs in the society of the great ones. As a matter of fact, no other one individual has built up so great an educational institution. There are greater concerns, none greater concerns, none greater of the kind, however, but they grew up with the genius of a hundred men as it were. Mr. Washington saw the seed of his plant; waiered it, saw it flourish and bear fruit. No other man in the world's history has such a claim on the world's gratitude.—Freeman. Richmond, Va., April 3.—A grand jury in the Hustings Conrt reindicted Monday A. W. Holmes, former grand master of the True NO 31 Reformers; W. P. Burrell, former secretary of the order; W. L. Taylor, former grand master; J. C. Robertson, former attorney of the order, and Edward Ellis, Jr., all former officials and directors of the defunct True Reformers' Bank, for the wrecking of the institution. The indictments against the officials were quashed last week, after counsel for W. P. Burrell had contended that they were invalid on the ground that they din not specify that the bann was insolvent. The new indictment contain six counts and are supposed to be proof against legal objection. The trials of the indicted officials will likely be at an early date, and are expected to consume a week. --- It is encouraging to find that so many of the white and colored people deeply appreciate Dr, Washington's teachings Thousands of both races gave him an enthusiastic welcome to Florida. In introducing him at Ocala, Judge W. S. Bullock said: "This is our land the land of our fathers and of our children. Beneath these vine-clad rocks and citrus groves rest the ashes of our dear ones. Beneath these sunlit skies and cotton fields we must live and our children after us. This is the home of the Negro. The prosperity of the one is the discouragement of the other. Our future peace, happiness and prosperity rest within our keeping. God grant that we may acquit ourselves as men, men worthy of so great a charge." Speaking for Ocala and that section, where Negro thrift and enterprise are particularly noticeable Judge Bullock said: "I testify to you with knowledge of the fact the Negro receives a fair trial in the courts of this section. In this section the Negro is given an equal show in the race of life. He enters into industrial contests, exhibits the fruits of his industry, and is awarded the first prizes at the county fair. As a merchant he is liberally patronized by the white people and when his wares and merchandise entitle him to it he is given the preference in trade. Their Heavy Headcap.

MAKE NEW RULES FOR MINISTERS CAN'T GO INTO CLUBS—MINISTERS WHO FREQUENT CLUBS OR ELKS' RESTS NOT ELIGIBLE TO MEMBERSHIP. Pittsburgh, Pa.—The leading colored Baptist ministers of this city and vicinity have organized a ministers' alliance, which has attracted more than ordinary attention because of some of the articles embodied in the constitution and by-laws. One of the articles directs that any minister who frequents club rooms, Elks' rests or uses profane language cannot be admitted to membership. The preamble to the constitution and two of the articles in the by-laws follow: Whereas, the New Testament clearly teaches the value of Christian unity; and the sweetness of holy fellowship which is produced by meeting together. We, the colored ministers of Baptist churches of Pittsburgh and vicinity have united ourselves into an alliance for the purpose of exchanging thoughts and ideas of how best to conduct the work which the great Head of the church has committed to our hands. ARTICLE IV. A uniform rule of ministerial dignity, politeness and respect must at all times and under all circumstances govern the members of this alliance. Anyone who refuses to come to order when repeatedly requested to do so by the president, unless he is supported by the alliance, shall lose all rights and privileges as a member, until he shall have satisfied the body of his willingness to observe decorum. ARTICLE VII. No applicant's name will be considered for membership of this alliance who is known to use profane language, or to frequent club rooms, Elks' rests, etc., or is guilty of conduct unbecoming a minister. The officers of the new alliance are: Rev. J. H. Holder, president; Rev. Rodney C. Fox, secretary and treasurer. Rev. J. H. D. Welle, Rev. W. W. Boone and Rev. R. C. Fox are on the committee on constitution and bylaws. NEGRO FARMERS HOLD CONFERENCE IN GEORGIA Fort Valley, Ga.—Several thousand negro farmers, with their wives and children from this and adjoining counties are in town for two days, attending the annual farmers' conference, held under the auspices of the Fort Valley High and Industrial school of which H. A. Hunt, a Tuskegee graduate, is principal and prime mover. The effort to have the instruction given by this industrial school prove of practical benefit to the farmers of the community is the cause of the movement, and it is sanctioned by the presence of agricultural and educational officials of the state. Among those who will deliver addresses to the farmers are County Superintendents F. W. Greene of Houston, I. P. Nelson of Macon, and T. N. Andrews of Crawford; Prof. R. H. Powell, Jr., state superintendent of rural schools, Cartersville; Bishop C. K. Nelson and H. E. Stockbridge of Atlanta, and Dr. J. H. Dilliard of the Anna T. Jeanes and John F. Slater funds, New Orleans. The principal address delivered Friday was by P. C. Parks of Clark university, a recognized negro agricultural expert, who for the past few years has been leading the movement to have better farming methods adopted by the negroes of Georgia. Professor Parks emphasized the importance of organized effort on the part of educational agencies in the state at work among the negroes to improve rural conditions, declaring that the school and the church should unite in this effort. "These agencies must in some way increase the earning capacity of the negro," he declared. "It is worth more to the church to improve the boys and young men in general than it is to reclaim the old." Professor Parks urged the organization of boys' corn clubs throughout the state and detailed the plan of cooperation upon which the six Atlanta schools are working, organizing corn clubs among the negro boys in about thirty counties, having nearly 600 boys participate. "According to the last census," said Parks, "there are about 66,000 negro boys between the ages of ten and eighteen years who receive practically no training along agricultural lines that would induce them to be rural workers. The effort will be made by these larger institutions in Atlanta to strengthen the work done by their graduates in the state. Such points as Fort Valley, which is a representative of Atlanta ur'versity; Americus institute, a representative of Atlanta Baptist college; the work done in Newton county, by P. D. Johnson, a student of Clark university, and some very effective work done by C. L. Bonner of the Colored Methodist Episcopal church." A large number of negro farmers have related their experiences and given much helpful information to each other. MONARCH LIQUOR COMPANY IMPORTED & DOMESTIC WINES & LIQUORS D. W. REEVES, Manager. W.

I have never been to Tuskegee before and I cannot express to you the various and sundry emotions that have come to me in these few busy hours I have been here. "We understand something of the inheritance that is back of us all and it is difficult to analyze it, but perhaps one thing that you and I know most about is the sacrifice and the suffering and the toll that is back of this generation. In that is a spirit of consecration which you see in your father and in your mother and which I have seen in my father and my mother and which any man of my age in the south has seen in his father and his mother, which we must through all time respect. That spirit of consecration is a fine asset to have behind one. It is a fine idea to live to and it takes courage to practice it and prove the need we have of such a priceless heritage. It is a great day to live in the south. "I was thinking a minute ago of the little schoolhouse which was over in the mountains of North Carolina, which, because it was the best, my father sent me to; but it was so poorly ventilated and heated that it took ten years of my life afterwards to recover from the ill effects upon my own constitution. These poor school houses are passing away and every boy and girl in the south is getting a better chance. I say it is a great day to live in the south. Even I wish I could go back ten years and make a new start so that I might have the privileges you are enjoying. It is a great day to be true to all the good things of your past, of your father's and mother's past. It is a great day to sacrifice and toil and suffer and if need be to die for such a country, for such a land as this from which you sprang." "It is a great day to live in the south, measuring the distance from 1865 to 1912, a period of 47 years, and measuring the conditions of both races at the beginning and at the ending of that period. The white south, which had education of hand and head for moral restraint and civil government and a basis in financial credit, with home and church life firmly fixed in tradition and practice, has gained more in education and wealth in the 47 years of free labor and opportunity than it enjoyed under slave labor and restricted opportunity during the 245 years prior to 1865; but the gain of the black south has been vastly greater and more creditable, as it had no foundation whatsoever to build upon. It now has reduced its agony of illiteracy by quite one-half, has built itself a home and school life and a creditable labor and business position, has laid itself a good foundation in all these upon which it is industriously and persistently building, so that the rounded century of freedom and opportunity promises it unprecedented results. If it but holds fast the metaphysical and cultural as it gathers the material things of life, the martyrs of freedom will not have lived in vain." The United States Commissioner of Education gives the following statistics as to the illiteracy among the whites: The illiteracy among the native white population (1900 census) was five in a thousand in Washington, six in South Dakota, six in Montana, six in Nevada, seven in Wyoming, eight in Massachusetts, eight in Minnesota, eight in Nebraska, eight in Connecticut, eight in Oregon, eight in the District of Columbia, nine in North Dakota, nine in Idaho, ten in California, twelve in New York, twelve in Iowa, thirteen in Wisconsin, thirteen in Kansas, fifteen in New Hampshire, seventeen in Michigan, seventeen in New Jersey, eighteen in Rhode Island, twenty-one in Illinois, twenty-three in Pennsylvania, twenty-four in Ohio, twenty-four in Maine, twenty-five in Oklahoma, twenty-seven in Colorado, twenty-nine in Vermont, thirty-six in Indiana, forty-one in Maryland, forty-eight in Missouri, fifty-six in Delaware, sixty-one in Texas, sixty-two in Arizona, eighty in Mississippi, eighty-six in Florida, 100 in West Virginia, 111 in Virginia, 116 in Arkansas, 119 in Georgia, 128 in Kentucky, 136 in South Carolina, 142 in Tennessee, 148 in Alabama, 173 in Louisiana, 195 in North Carolina and 294 in New Mexico. Emmett J. Scott, who for several years has been the private secretary to Dr. Booker T. Washington, at the annual meeting of the trustees two weeks ago was elected secretary of the Tuskegee institute. His friends throughout the country are congratulating him. The Alabanian rises to offer its congratulations. He is efficient and worthy.-Colored Alabanian. Equal justice to all in the southern states will bring about an earthly paradise between the white and black man of the south. The negro has never had a better friend than the southern white man, neither has he had a more bitter enemy than he, and this is the question that is puzzling the world, when they hear rumors of wars, rumors of lynch and mob law. A colored woman was funeralized at one of the largest colored churches in this city a few weeks ago and a southern white man, a banker, attended the funeral in company with his wife and others. He was so much impressed by the sermon delivered by the colored clergyman that he inquired of us his name. In the course of our conversation he said that he was very much impressed with the sermon and that he was not only glad to attend the funeral of this colored woman, but that he would have gladly acted as a pall-bearer had he been asked to do so, and he meant every word he said. The affection and sympathy found in his bosom for this colored servant of his, are found in the bosoms of thousands of southern white men who would shed their blood in the defense of the orderly and upright negro. The negroes who know their places and stay in them, who work honestly and faithfully and attend to their own business, are never without friends. The friction between the black and white man grows out of the spirit of equal rights. The white man in his attempt to destroy the spirit of social equality between the negro and himself, becomes too passionate and instead of waiting on the justice of the law he resorts to anarchy, mob and lynch law which breeds and increases crime among his own race like the springing up of the gourd vine of Nineveh. Equal rights and justice to all men in the courts will destroy mob and lynch law and rid the country of murderers and assassins. The statistics of crime show a steady increase of murders in the United States and the majority of them are whites. Why should there be any among them with all the law in their own hands, is the question. We answer, they have misused the law. Equal rights and justice have no eyes to see, no color lines to draw.—Charleston Messenger. We called on Jack Johnson in his dressing room at the Century theater in Kansas City. We said: "Jack, they say you are drinking and dissipating so much that you won't be able to hold the championship very long." "You tell them when I quit the ring I will still have the championship." "Well, Jack, they say you are spending your money fast; that you spent all you had on the European trip?" "Just to say to them that I won't suffer. I am well supplied with cash. Now you see, I am drawing $2,500 per week, and here are telegrams and letters begging me to accept engagements for several months at $2,500 per week. Now, if I was broke they wouldn't be offering me such money, for I would be glad to work for much less rather than to miss out." He said he liked the French people. They have no prejudice. The Americans try to create race hatred in France, but don't get very far with it. Johnson is a very intelligent man and is full of business, always looking ahead for breakers. His brother is traveling with him and looks after his wardrobe, and is his general all-around man. His wife is traveling with him. They stopped over the Century theater. He also has a man who travels as his representative. We asked Jack if that was his manager. He said, "No, I am my own manager."—Topeka Plain Dealer. The negro's poverty and unorganized resources are greater barriers in his path of progress than the color of his skin. He must learn to get down to real practical business; to concentrate his industrial and commercial agencies and develop the resources of this great country, and thereby work out his own industrial, moral and intellectual salvation. The white men in business in Oakland, Cal., put on foot last month a great display of their different business enterprises. A procession figured as one of the principal features, and The Local Negro Business league was Invited to take part and was given a conspicuous place in the procession. Let us have more upright dealings with one another as well as honest living. We need more men and women of trustworthiness and reliability. The man and woman who can be depended on now is a great asset to progress. There is no substitute for wisdom. When you are not informed look wise and be silent. When we succeed, we boast of our prowes, when we fall we blame providence.—The Home Protective Record. You might get along a little better if in the background and consider that someone else has rights that are entitled to consideration.—The Interstate Reporter. COLORED EDUCATOR IS WELCOMED IN WASHINGTON DR. JAMES E. SHEPARD, PRESIDENT OF NATIONAL RELIGIOUS TRAINING SCHOOL AT DURHAM, N. C., WAS GIVEN ROUSING RECEPTION IN THE NATION'S CAPITAL. (BY GEORGE FRANCIS KING.) Washington, D. C., Special.—A rousing reception was tendered the brilliant young educator, Dr. James E Shepard, founder and president of the National Religious Training school, Durham, N. C., when he addressed the famous Bethel Literary and Historical association in the Metropolitan A. M. E. church, this city, recently. His able and tangible conception of the possibilities of true racial uplift by building upon a foundation as set forth in his plans caused a unique ovation for him on the subject, "The Religious Training the Hope of the Negro Race." This young apostle of a Gospel that has aroused a healthy propaganda among both races throughout the country, and bringing about the needed good desired, was given such an enthusiastic indorsement that made this event an epoch-making one in the life of the Afro-American folk in the district. Justice Wendell Phillips Stafford of the Supreme court of the District of Columbia, introduced Doctor Shepard and occasioned prolific applause. He spoke of the peculiar need of such an institution for the race and the remarkable growth and national scope this movement had attained and its endorsement by the leading educators and philanthropists. One feature that made this event one of extraordinary significance was the remarks by Rabbi Abram Simon of the Jewish synagogue. This noble exponent for equal rights and justice heartily gave impetus to the movement by his strong utterances at this meeting. For weeks a committee composed of representative citizens had been preparing for the complimentary dinner by the prominent citizens of this city, which proved to be a noteworthy event. Dr. I. N. Ross, the well known pastor of the Metropolitan A. M. E. church, and the ministers of the district gave their approbations of the purposes, aims and scope of the National Religious Training school. The following features of the coming ministers' conference, to be held at the school July 6-13, inclusive, the year was ably discussed by them. "What is the moral condition of the people in your community? Is crime on the increase? If not, what is the cause of its reduction? What is the sanitary condition? What effort, if any, has been made to improve the sanitary conditions? Is the death rate increasing? To what extent do you cooperate with Civic Improvement leagues? Has settlement work been conducted to any extent in your community, and with what results? What has been the effect of the Temperance organizations, and do you co-operate with them? To what extent has the work of the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. been effective in your community? Do you approve them? What is the general fitness of the city and country school teacher? What has been the attitude of the day school teacher towards the church and Sunday school? What is the real religious condition of our people? Revivals, how conducted?" During the conference ministers of all denominations will be the guest of the institution for one week. Rev. Dr. Jesse L. Hurlbut, a recognized authority on the Bible and noted author, and Rev. Dr. W. Y. Chapman, the great pulpitheer and theologian, will be in charge of the expository features during the conference week. The summer school was another subject discussed at this affair. This event will begin July 3 and conclude August 11, 1912. The chataqua will be one of the greatest educational events, ever held in this section of the country for Afro-Americans. Some of the most noted lecturers and scholars will compose the faculty and principal features of the summer school and chataqua of Doctor Shepard's school. GRAIN DIET FOR HORSES. Horses do not absolutely demand a mixed grain diet. Feeding a mixed quantity of clover and timothy hay with corn alone, the animals have been found to get along just as well as with a mixed grain ration. The corn fed horses were just as enduring as those fed oats, and they worked just as well in the hot weather as when it was cool. Work horses should be fed with feeds that supply energy in capsule form. The use of corn or oats alone, without other grains, has been found desirable. Of the two, corn seems to be the most palatable. As regards economy, ear corn is usually cheaper per pound than oats, while their feeding value seems to be the same. BEEF BROTH. Two and one-half pounds of short ribs of beef with enough cold water to cover. Put on slow fire and let simmer for two hours or longer, until tender. When at boiling point add one small onion and two sprays of chopped parsley. One hour before done, add one-iourth cup of rice, one carrot cut up and salt. There should be a pint of stock when strained. Season and serve. Take the $2\frac{1}{2}$ pounds of cooked beef, spread top with tablespoonful of butter and put in oven long enough to brown. THIS NEGRO HAD SIXNAMES, SADLY DISTURBING THE COURT Atlanta, Ga.—Six names for one man who was known equally well by any one of the six, sadly disturbed the city court of Atlanta when Gus Hogan was put on trial for larceny from the person. On the defendant's witness list were six names. "Call the witnesses, Mr. Clerk," directed an attorney. The clerk held up his list. " 'Sheep' Ryan," he called. The cry was repeated by a bailiff. The door of the court room opened and a small and extremely ugly darky appeared, hat in hand. He was decidedly slim and qn one side of his face was a big scar. "All right, go out in the hall until we need you," the clerk directed when the negro announced that he was "Sheep" Ryan. The darky retired. "Slim' Jackson," cried the clerk. Again the call was repeated, and the same negro came through the door. "Here, we don't want you, we want 'Slim' Jackson. Go out," the bailiff directed. The negro grinned. "Ah'se 'Slim' Jackson, too," he declared. "Well, go on out," he was told. "Skinny' Johnson," called the clerk. The door opened and the negro with the scar again appeared. "I told you not to come back in here," the exasperated balliff said. "Yo' called mah name, boss," was the reply. "I called 'Skinny' Johnson, I didn't call you." "Ah's 'Skinny' Johnson, too," the man of aliases replied. Everyone in the court room was getting interested and the clerk called "Snake' Williams." The door opened, this time cautiously, and slowly from around the corner appeared the head of the same negro. In a moment the audience was in a roar of laughter which lasted for several minutes. "I suppose your name is 'Snake' Williams, too, is it?" the balliff asked when the laughter had subsided. "Yas, suh, dat's mah name." The negro began to slide out the door when Judge Calhoun called: "Look here, boy, have you got any more names?" Tas, sur, jo hono. The judge turned to the clerk. "Mr. Clerk, in order to save time and this colored gentleman of the many cognoms the trouble of opening and shutting the door a few more times, suppose you see if he isn't also the other witnesses in this case." "Is your name 'Runt' Collins and 'Shorty' Green?" the clerk asked. The audience waited with bated breath. "Yas, sur. Ah's bhoe ub dem," the negro answered. A few moments later the six witnesses, embodied in one short and decidedly skinny negro, were testifying on the witness stand. TO WORK WITH BEES. To protect one's self against bees observe the following rules: Do not stand in the way of a swarm of bees. While working with the bees do not make any sudden motion with your hands or head, do not twinkle with your eyes, and perform all your work so as not to produce any shock. Never work at the hive when in perspiration, or during a rain or thunderstorm, for the bees are then more disposed to sting. Do not allow your breath to penetrate the hive. Bees hate the odor of alcohol, tobacco and similar things. Never work without using smoke, but use it only moderately. The beginner will do well in working at first with a mask, at least with eyeglasses, and always with his head covered, but without gloves. It is advisable to wash the hands stung, so as to remove the odor of the poison. In the case of being stung, do not quiver, but remove the sting quickly by pushing it out with one finger nail. By pulling it out with two fingers the whole contents of the poison bag are liable to be pressed into the wound. If the spot can be reached with the mouth the poison should be sucked out. Never crush a bee, as the odor thus produced incites the others to sting. The body gets gradually used to the bee poison. SUGGESTION ON DRAINING. Any kind of land can be drained. There is no trouble in laying tile in quicksand if one understands. After the ditch is dug and graded then the tile should be laid by the operator backing up, that is, he must not step on the tile after they are laid, if he does he will get them out of shape, but if he has the bottom of the ditch properly graded and then the operator backs up in laying the tile and as he progresses, fills fine dirt in the bottom of the ditch on either side of the tile, being careful to put about the same amount on each side, and then some over the top so as to get this tile firmly fixed in its bed, then by putting on a foot or more of dirt there will be no difficulty about walking over the ditch or filling it in any way you please. The great trouble is experienced in not allowing the tile to settle where they are placed. If the depth of the outlet is sufficient I think it would be proper to lay these tile just about at the bottom of the muck where it is deepest, and then where it is only several inches deep the tile would go lower, but if you get the tile just below the muck then they will work best and drain the land thoroughly.—Colon C.

A CLEAN ELECTION AND AN HONEST BALLOT FOR EVERY VOTER. This is the slogan of the political reformer. It is the crying need to-day in all large cities of this country, Denver being no exception. New primary and election laws were necessary to give legality to elections and make it possible to convict illegal voters, but what is needed more than anything else is new life and clean motives within the inner circles of political precincts. Not a class of men who contrive as to how far they can go and evade the letter of the law but how much they may assist in making the law doubly effective and secure. Elections will never occupy a plan higher than the level of public sentiment in regard to election methods. That political parties have a mission is self evident. That their mission is to serve or suppress some principle of vital importance to the happiness or well-being of every citizen is also a truism. But is this true in regard to the political parties and the colored voters of Colorado? Heretofore the colored voters have had no voice in the councils of the political parties, no part in their caucuses and absolutely no and in directing their policies, but they have been compelled to remain wholly on the outside and take whatever consideration that is offered to them. A people that have no part in the councils of a party, be the party what it may, cannot long retain interest in the party. It is self-evident that the political parties of Denver are approaching a crisis in their career and they will need all of the support possible in the coming campaign.

An excess of vanity brings ridicule upon its possessor, just as an utter lack of it inspires contempt in the beholder. Of the two, ridicule is the least harmful; moreover, the object of jibes and jests always possesses the power to modify and refine excessive vanity into wholesome, elevating pride. Tobacco by the Yard. On Saturday afternoons in the Port Antenio market, on the island of Jamaica, a dozen or more negroes may be seen selling "rope" tobacco by the yard.

A Tallangatta (Victoria) woman, after undressing her child in the kitchen one evening recently, told the little girl to run upstairs to bed, relates an Australian exchange. The child whimpered and asked not to be sent upstairs without a light. The mother after scolding the child for her foolish timidity, got a light and accompanied her upstairs, when she was horrified to find a large black snake curled up on the pillow. She Needs a Beau Says a woman in her new book: "I hate all men! I loathe their habits! I simply turn from all their pleasures with a shudder! I cannot tolerate them in guise of either lover, husband or friend!"

The funeral of William Brumage was held Thursday afternoon, Rev. A. M. Ward officiating. Interment at Riverside. Douglass Undertaking Co. had charge of the funeral. The Masons' entertainment was a huge success. The house was packed—in fact, the largest crowd ever in Eureka hall. The Masons lived up to their reputation of being the best entertainers in the city. Mrs. Cora C. Joseph, wife of the late Col. Peter Joseph of 2452 Gilpin street, died suddenly Friday morning at 2 o'clock. She retired in good health, and her sudden death came as a great shock to her family and friends. Another venerable counsellor has departed. There is another vacant chair that cannot be filled. Mrs. L. L. Atkinson, mother of Mrs. Josephine E. Andrews, died at the home of her son-in-law, Mr. Robinson, 2630 South Logan street, Wednesday afternoon.

Mrs. Ward received a telegram announcing the death of her father in Missouri. Mrs. Ward has been in poor health for some time, and was confined to her house at the time that the sad news was received. She left Thursday evening, accompanied by her husband, the Rev. A. M. Ward. Little over two months ago Rev. Ward was called away to be present at his father's funeral. Truly the hand of the Lord is upon us. The Colorado Statesman extends its sympathy to the family. Dr. W. A. Jones, president of the People's Sunday Alliance, delivered an able address on his observations during his recent trip South. The Alliance had been looking forward for this address and the waiting was indeed well rewarded. The conditions were most vividly pictured, giving more truth than one could hope to learn by reading the doings down South as given by the press. Dr. Jones had a long talk with Professor Pickens, the noted educator of Talladega, Ala., who will deliver a series of lectures in Colorado this summer, under the auspices of the People's Sunday Alliance. DON'T FORGET. Tuesday, April 16th, the Republicans will hold their primaries from 4 to 7 for the purpose of electing delegates to the convention which will nominate candidates for May election. The Colorado Statesman desires to have every colored voter to take a part in these primaries and help to elect delegates who will give us a pure Republican set of nominees from whom we as Negroes can expect proper recognition.

The church resembled a beautiful flower garden with singing birds and happy children singing the praises of the risen Lord. The committee rendered faithful service in making the church beautiful, for which they have our heartfelt thanks. The junior choir with their vestments made a beautiful picture. Mrs. Dooley and Rice worked very faithfully to prepare these little ones for Easter. The senior choir held forth at night. A large audience greeted the participants and was not disappointed in coming. Mrs. Hicks and her co-workers deserve much praise for this excellent showing. The Woman's Home Missionary will render a special program Sunday evening, April 28th. Mrs. A. C. Peck will be one of the speakers. The first official board has met and made great plans for the future. There will be a beautiful silver set presented to the one raising the highest amount of money over $10. The committee appointed to arrange for this contest is Mrs. Anna Rice, Mrs. Emma Galimore and Mrs. Mary L. Hicks. Everything augurs success for the coming conference year. Scott's is doing some spring cleaning. The cobwebs are being brushed down and some who have been sitting on the wheels of progress have been requested to move on. The forces for righteousness are getting together, and we look for great things in the future. The subject for Sunday morning will be "Christ Points Out to Us the Gate of Life." "Enter ye in at the straight gate, and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat; because straight is the gate, and narrow is the way which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it."—Matt. 7:13, 14. At night an expository sermon will be delivered. You are invited to hear these discourses. There will be an entertainment, "Aunt Jerusha's Quilting Party," given by the Woman's Home Missionary Society on Thursday evening, May 2nd. Notices will appear in the papers about the different characters who will appear on the program. Mrs. Mary L. Hicks will lead the Epworth League Sunday evening. The thought for the month is "The Brink of Ruin and the Man of the Hour." Subject for Sunday evening, "Isiah's Jerusalem Home—the Decadent City America's Peril," Isa. 1:21-24; Matt. 11:20-24. Come prepared to help discuss the lesson. Lawyer G. G. Ross has been selected by the official board as the new Sunday School superintendent. Lawyer Ross is well qualified in this department of the church. His plans will be modern and the Sunday School lover is invited to attend and make things interesting and lively. The pastor will conduct a men's Bible class in connection with the Sunday School. The Sunday School will not be changed to morning, as it has been reported by some one not responsible. The same hour will be in vogue. We wish to call our people's attention to the Wednesday evening class meeting and urge attendance of all the members. These meetings are very important in the Methodist church. Here are the springs of the spiritual life of the church. Come and drink and you will find life's burdens easier to bear. Here are hearts which beat in unison and inspiration if a vital nature can be had. THE CHURCH OF THE REDEEMER. Twenty-second avenue and Humboldt street. The Rev. Henry B. Brown, B. D., priest. Perfect weather, overflowing congregations, excellent music, impressive services, combined to make Easter day all that could be desired, and a day long to be remembered in the history of the Church of the Holy Redeemer. A point had been reached in the spiritual life and material well being of the church never before attained and the watchword is still "Forward." It now becomes imperative upon us to provide more room for the increasing congregations, so that our members and visitors may be made comfortable at all times. On Monday morning, therefore, while the blessed memories of the Easter day's services were still fresh and delightful are sought out and employed an architect to make plans and specifications for an extension of the nave of the church. The contract will be immediately let and the work pushed, so that when the record-breaking confirmation class is presented to the bishop of the diocese on the evening of Sunday, April 28th, there will be room to accommodate the lay congregation that will assemble to engage at the solemn and impressive service. The formal induction of the vested choir, which was postponed from last Sunday, chiefly because to do so would have unduly lengthened a service already necessarily lengthy, will take place on Sunday morning at 11 o'clock. The Priest Father Brown will preach a special sermon. Subject, "The White Robed Throng." It being Low Sunday, there will be choral solemn celebration of the Holy Eucharist. At the evening service the Sacrament of Holy Baptism will be administered to the last class of candidates preparatory to the Sacrament of Confirmation. The subject of the special sermon will be "St. Thomas, the Doubter." Let any who may be overjoyous because the Lenten season is over bear in mind at least some of the teachings of Lent—self-restraint, moderation in all things and the Divine call to separation from the world. "Come out from among the ungody and be ye separate and I will receive you, and will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord God Almighty." By kind permission of the Very Rev. Dean Hart the Altar Guild of St. Mary, the Virgin, will hold their first entertainment under the new regime in the chapter house, East Thirteenth avenue and Clarkson street, on Thursday evening next, the 15th inst., at 8:30 o'clock. The girls are sparing no pains to make this festival a success and the "Pictoro Literary Mariefest" promises to be not only unique in name, but also unique in character. Animated pictures, literary and musical—vocal and instrumental—selections and light refreshments will constitute the program. You will be more than amply compensated for a 15-cent admission ticket. Apply to any of our altar girls for one. Remember the confirmation instruction class that is being held every Sunday evening at 6:30 o'clock. The time is drawing near for confirmation. Let all be diligent and prompt in their attendance. We gladly welcome you to any or all of our services. FRIENDS ALL WANT IT. Mrs. D. B. Simmons of Silex, Ark., writes: "I tried one bottle of Ford's Hair Pomade and found it to be the best preparation I have ever used.

The Newest in Men's Furnishings A Better One for $5.00 PHOTOGRAPHING THE RED CHIEFS Government Maintains Interesting Indian Collection at Washington MAKING THE PICTURES-FIFTEEN THOUSAND NEGATIVES REPRESENTING PRACTICALLY EVERY NORTH, CENTRAL AND SOUTH AMERICAN TRIBE. Washington, D. C.—Indian pictures, Indian corners and everything or anything indian, do you know that the nation maintains within this Mecca of the tribes and races a photograph gallery for red men only? I happened into this unique institution a short time ago, happily at the moment while sat posing 'midst all the awe and majesty of a king, a picturesque and stolid chief of the wild lands, an aboriginal brave bedecked in the richest of reds and purples, besmeared with the gaudiest of barbaric cosmetics, benecked with the formidable claws of the grizzly, be-earringed with bells whose jingles kept cadence with each toss of his proud head. This proud chieftain had journeyed far to greet the "Great Father." The portrait for which he posed was one of the perquisites of his mission. In a dressing room adjacent to the studio his suite of attendants had consumed a full hour and a half in grooming him for the sitting. Fifteen thousand negatives, representing practically every aboriginal tribe of North, Central and South America, have been made by the official photographers, partly in this studio and partly in the field. All the work is done under the Bureau of Ethnology, of which the studio is a part. Every savage photographed receives, gratis, one artistically mounted print from each negative for which he is willing to pose. These portraits the braves take home and tack up in their wigwams and tepees, exhibiting them to their friends with great pride and gusto. Indian portraits were scarce articles prior to this enterprise of the Bureau of Ethnology. The more uncivilized the red men, the more intense is his fear of the camera. Only stealth and diplomacy have overcome these scruples among the wild tribes. Willingness to pose has been one of the accompaniments of gradual enlightenment. The uncivilized or semi-civilized tribes look upon a camera just as they do a Gatling gun. Fear of material harm is but one scruple. To give any man one's image is to give him supernatural control of one's life influences—power which also would be assured did another possess a hair of one's head or even the paring from one's finger nail. This is a part of the creed of many tribes. The average Indian is averse to having his profile photographed. Those of whom this view is made invariably fail to recognize themselves. Although Poor Lo is the embodiment of all human vanities, he has never perhaps arranged his mirrors to present to his eye a direct profile view of his stocal features. "Me no like. No, that no me. That half a man." This, or words to this effect, is the comment made by many red braves upon whom is brought to bear the presuasion that profile portraits represent them. The superstition that a profile portrait will cause the side turned away from the camera to wither up and die is one which has been confided to the photographers by several Indians. Indian children are always the first to make friends with the photographer; men the next; women the last. For purposes of anatomical study study, semi-nude poses have been attempted, but to these the women almost invariably object. An instinctive modesty forbids. "In dealing with a group never photographed before, we are always faced by the obstacle of fear," said a photographer. "Frequently in the field we have to pay subjects sums of money, feed them handfuls of sugar, or bribe them with presents. Even then, the group having been posed to my taste, to see their images suddenly disappear from my ground glass during the operation of focusing, is a common experience. I often raise my head from the cloth only to find that all of my subjects have vanished like breath into the wind." "Frequently I commence operations my unscrewing one of my lenses and attilizing it as a sunglass to light my pipe. This invariably causes the curious crowd to gather nearer to behold the miracle, which I repeat again and again. I then select the most friendly among them—usually the interpreter. Assurance that no harm comes to him often makes many converts. Nevertheless, it is often necessary for one of our ethnologists to stand in the group as further guarantee that the instrument is loaded neither with bullets nor blasts from the infernal regions. "The Indian will not smile while posing. He assumes either a scowl or a look of abject melancholy. Nearly all of the aborighnes with whom I have come in contact have a keen sense of humor, but this never lingers long on the surface. During the ordeal of posing it is practically impossible to conjure up a pleasant physilogomy. Three-quarter blooms or half-breeds will often consent to grow dramatic, but the fullbloods must be photo- graphed while brimming over with their proverbial stocism. "All of the Indians whom I have photographed are exceedingly vain. They invariably ask for mirrors. "Two old Otoes came up to be photographed some time ago. The first that posed wore a bear-claw necklace. The other, when his turn came, wanted to borrow it. The owner held on to it like grim death, but the coveter pulled and hauled the precious ornament till I feared that it would be crushed to bits. A furious struggle ensued and I held fast to my tripod, fearing that the instrument would be kicked over. Finally the troubles were arbitrated, but the owner of the necklace won his point. "Another day an old Ponka chief came in ostensibly to be photographed. He brought an interpreter with him and the two hemmed and hawed for a while. Soon it came out that the old fellow wanted to make a bargain with me before he would be willing to sit. I evaded these advances and busied myself preparing the apparatus. The old chief sulked and refused to be photographed until I assured him that he would be given something for posing. I explained that I would give him one print from each negative. This would not suffice. "The interpreter, after digesting several minutes of pow-wow, explained that the chief wouldn't sit unless I made him a life-size portrait in colors, put a handsome gold frame around it and gave him $2.50 to boot. I pointed to the door. This brought the old man to time. He sat for his picture with a most benignant smile on his face. This was about the only smiling Indian portrait I ever made. "When the Indians come to Washington they almost always bring their most elaborate regalia to wear while calling upon the president. Some Yakima braves who appeared at the last New Year reception at the White House stopped by here on their way to see the 'Great Father' and asked me to have them photographed just as they would appear before him. "If there is anything which exceeds the Indfan's vanity, it is his curiosity. It is customary for our sitters to fumble through all of the desk drawers, look through all of the books and even penetrate the mysteries of the dark room before leaving the building. "So far as steadiness is concerned the Indians are the most remarkable subjects I have ever seen. Once having been posed, they will stand as still and firm as a rock until I have focused and made the exposure. On dark days, when I have been focusing for detail, I have had them stand firm for fifteen seconds or more without causing a hairbreadth of movement on the plate—something a white man couldn't do if he practiced a year. "Indians usually expect to receive their finished portraits immediately after sitting. It is common for them to gaze into the lens, and, seeing their image reflected upon it, to make various gesticulations. "We have photographed practically all of the notable chiefs—Geronimo Sitting Bull, Red Cloud, Spotted Tail, Washake, Chief Joseph and Capt. Jack's band, which latter massacred a commission sent to treat with them. Chief Joseph was photographed in Washington in the early eighties. A year ago, while he was in the city we photographed him again. A comparison of the two portraits shows that he does not look a year older than at the first sitting." MANY THOUSAND DOLLARS AP PROPRIATED FOR COL- ORED SCHOOLS MANY THOUSAND DOLLARS AP PROPRIATED FOR COL- ORED SCHOOLS KENTUCKY LEGISLATURE WAS VERY LIBERAL IN DEALING WITH NEGRO INSTITUTIONS. Louisville, Ky., (Special).—The state legislature of Kentucky closed its business, and of the numerous bills passed, not one was aimed at the abridgement of the negro's rights, but on the other hand the colored people have cause to rejoice in that quite a sum was appropriated for the education of the young men and women of the state. Frankfort Normal and Industrial Institute received $17,500 for improvements to be made in the two new buildings recently erected. The Western Industrial school was voted $10,500 for the erection of a small school in the western part of the state. The Kentucky Home Society for the caring of little children without parents was given $5,000. All the schools have been remembered each with appropriations. Dr. C. H. Parrish is head of the home and Mr. Lee L. Brown is the secretary. Mr. Brown is a young man and is a graduate of Eckstein Norton University. He is a hustling and progressive young citizen and does splendid work in the newspaper field, also conducts a stenographic school and Miss Marie Streaty is his assistant. The finest school building in the south is that of the new Lincoln school. It was dedicated Feb. 12 with appropriate exercises. Its erection was begun about 22 months ago, during the regime of the old school board. Its original cost was estimated at $45,000. Various additions and improvements, added from time to time, brought the cost of the building to a much higher figure, and when the present board came into office it was found necessary to appropriatte still more for its completion. Its total cost amounts to $80,000. It is located at Morgan and Bland streets and accommodates 450 pupils. It has every modern convenience and Prof. J. W. Bell is the principal HOW FOREIGN IMMIGRATION WILL ULTIMATELY SOLVE NEGRO PROBLEM HOW FOREIGN IMMIGRATION WILL ULTIMATELY SOLVE NEGRO PROBLEM BY FRANKLIN W. WILLIAMS, AT TORNEY AT LAW. One of the most difficult problems of our nation today is the problem of the races. The enslaving and the subsequent emancipation of the negro bequeathed a legacy of trouble to the American people which is, now, one of the most difficult problems of the nation. It is difficult, because of its complexity and seemingly vexing phases. It is of the deepest concern because the negro must somehow be built into the national life and character of America. For us, the problem means the security of the negro's welfare in this country. His welfare seems to be endangered and imperiled; yet, we shall see that it is really secure. The problem presents three phases: An industrial, an educational and a civil phase. Now, you may ask, how can foreign immigration help to solve the negro problem? First, let us see how it will affect these three phases of the question; then, you shall judge for yourself if it will not help to solve the problem. At present, there is much alarm among our people over the immigration laws which are being made in the southern states. But, we have no need to fear. The south is far from being overcrowded. There are thousands, yes, millions, of acres of land unoccupied and unused in this country which ought to be occupied by somebody. The present demand for labor, upon which the industrial and business prosperity, in a large measure depend, cannot remain unsatisfied. This explains why foreign immigrants are being brought to this country in such large numbers. Some of them—the Greeks for example—are making remarkable progress. The Afro-American can learn a lesson from this quiet but persistent people. We hear a little of them here in the south; but they are slowly saving their spare means and are bending every effort towards starting and developing various lines of business. They have already reached a point where they are establishing banks and other large enterprises. The Greeks of the south compel us to recognize them because of their progress. The Afro-Americans can compel the white races to recognize them when they prove their real worth; their practical ability by acquiring personal and real estate and by establishing banks and other enterprises. Now, after forty-seven years of experience, our race is beginning to realize the importance of its own industrial and business development. Already, we are purchasing every year thousands of acres of land and we are founding schools and banks. Then too, our patronage, which, formerly, in a large measure went to the white race is now turning towards our own people. In proportion as the members of a race learn to respect each other, in proportion as they learn to invent, foster and establish business enterprises and conduct them in a business-like way, in like proportion will such a race be respected by its fellow countrymen. Consequently the thrifty immigrants, bringing their healthy competition, which we so much need, will quicken our energy; stimulate us to be more industrious; cause us to buy more land, build better houses, have larger bank accounts and, thus, present to the world tangible and visible evidence of our worth as a race. By making constructive progress along industrial and economic lines we will secure the respect and consideration of our neighbors. The educational phase is equally as important. It is true that the Afro-Americans have made unparalleled progress along the line of general education. Thousands of our young men and women are in academies, preparatory schools and colleges. Negroes are occupying prominent places in the professional and in the artistic world. But, as a race, we have not paid enough attention to technical training. We have too few well-trained, well-educated master mechanics; too few master masons and too few civil engineers and architects. Foreign immigration will be an incentive to this kind of education—which the masses need—which we as a race are neglecting. The better the negro is prepared for service, the better and more efficient service he can render and the greater will be the demand for those services. The individual or the race that is prepared gets something to do, regardless of his previous condition. Idleness means ignorance; ignorance means crime; and crime means a heavy burden to the race. Therefore, we can see that the safety of the race is in the direction of industry and education, which will be developed very largely by competition. The civil phase is of no less importance. Foreign immigration is causing the negroes to unite. They must eventually become a power in the community. The white man will soon discover that his colored workmen understand him better; can suit him better than any ignorant foreigner. Our safety and protection, as a race, are not to be found in keeping the foreigners out of this country, but in our ability to get as much out of our business or vocation as any other race can. Senator Cannon, while pleading that the American people give the negro a fair chance, was interrupted by Senator Tillman, who said that the negro can do too much with a half of a chance. Ex-Presi- dent Roosevelt believes that there is but one way, in the solution of such an intricate problem and that is by dealing with black men as you do with white men. It is the same rule which must be applied to rich men and poor men; that is, treating each man, whatever his color or creed or social position, with even-handed justice according to his real worth as a man. The white man ought to treat well the colored man who shows by his life that he deserves such treatment. Surely it is the highest wisdom to encourage individuals of whatever race who are honest, industrious and law abiding and who make good and safe neighbors and citizens. Again, as a people, we have no need to fear that the coming foreigners will make it impossible for us to earn a livelihood. We believe that much of the talk about the movement is simply a conspiracy to frighten the negro. It is evident that the south, as a whole, does not want the influx of foreigners. It was only a few years ago that the west settled her Japanese question, and the south is gathering material for a far greater trouble than she has ever witnessed. The bomb-throwing Helots and the black-handed Italians of Europe will certainly teach her a lesson. And the south will learn in the end that she has the best set of laborers right at her own door, and if she knew how to treat them decently she would find them kindly, intelligent, efficient and reliable. But after the foreigners have come over and begun their long strikes, have hurled their bombs and have smashed up cars and factories, the whites will become alarmed, will band themselves with the negroes and begin to respect them as fellow-countrymen. A common danger and a common sympathy will unite these long estranged neighbors. The black man will help the white man and the white man will help the black man. BILL REPORTED FAVORABLY IN THE U. S. SENATE FOR EXPOSI- TION CELEBRATION IN 1913— APPROPRIATION OF $250,000— SAVANNAH CO. TO HAVE CHARGE WITH GOVERNMENT COMMISSION. Washington, D. C.—The senate committee on industrial expositions gave its approval to the Bradley bill providing for the holding of an exposition in the summer of 1913 to celebrate the semi-centennial anniversary of the emancipation proclamation. The president of the United States is to appoint a commission, consisting of the secretaries of the treasury, war and navy, to make the plans for the exposition. An expenditure of $250,000 also would be authorized. The exposition is to be under the joint supervision of the commission and the Semi-Centennial American Emancipation Exposition company, which has its headquarters in Savannah, Ga., and which has been promoting the exposition. The exposition is to be held either in the District of Columbia or in one of the states where slavery existed before the Civil war. It is proposed that the exhibits shall show the history, progress and present condition of the negro race in this and other countries. ENCYCLOPEDIA OF ACHIEVEMENTS OF PEOPLE OF COLOR TO BE PUBLISHED BY DANIEL MURRAY. Washington, D. C.—A race publication of unusual merit and of extraordinary importance is about to see the light. It is to be an encyclopedia and compendium of the litterary, musical, artistic and scientific activities and accomplishments of people of color in modern times especially in America. Biography and history will be fully covered. The compilation is the work of Daniel Murray and has occupied a good part of his time for over a dozen years. During this time Mr. Murray has been an employee of the Library of Congress which gave him exceptional opportunities of which he diligently and conscientiously availed himself. The work will be issued in about six large volumes and may be looked for the coming summer. INCREASED POPULARITY OF EM-BROIDERIES. Embroideries for early spring will be more popular than ever. The tendency to a return to trimmed skirts in all fabrics, and especially to foot trimmings and three-tier effects, is one reason for this popularity. In these days of panel effects, band trimmings, fichu and surplice outlines and galloons, bands and insertions of various width are absolute essentials in the making of gowns. Widths of embroideries range from one inch to 18 inches, but the four to nine inch widths are those most used by designers of gowns. Colbert embroidery bands and all-overs are expected to reach a great vogue. It is of the cut-work order, resembling, in an enlarged way, Carrickmacross lace, and also giving an effect similar to that of real Venise lace. It will be much used for lapels or revers on coats, as well as for hat trimming or gown garniture. All-over embroideries have been very popular for several seasons, but new uses for them have been evolved from fashions in garments made of other fabrics. As the season advances little coatees, overblouses, jackets, boleros and Etons will be created, to be worn over simple muslin gowns, thus making them dressy at a moment's notice. There will be a larger use than ever for all-overs in whole gowns, parasols, hats, tunics and underwear.

ENGRAVERS-PRINTERS CUTS CAULKS DENVER, COLO --- HAMPTON NEGRO CONFERENCE SEVERAL HUNDRED COLORED FARMERS OF VIRGINIA MEET AT HAMPTON UNIVERSITY TO DISCUSS CONDITIONS. Hampton, Va.—The Hampton institute annual meeting of the Negro Farmers' conference brought together several hundred enterprising and prosperous farmers of Virginia, who are eager to improve their farm practice and secure increased yields per acre. Year by year the farmers' conference has brought to Hampton a larger number of visitors from other states. This year the visitors came from twelve states and Canada, and included a number of government workers from Washington, D. C. This conference is managed by the agricultural department, of which Mr. Charles K. Graham is the director. INTERESTING EXHIBITS. The large school gymnasium, which accommodates over fifteen hundred people, was filled to overflowing with interesting exhibits of farm, school, and home products. The entries of corn alone reached one hundred and seventy. The showing of seed wheat and rye was extremely good. Similar statements could be made concerning all the exhibits. Surely the Hampton Farmers' conference was a telling testimony to the thrift and progress of Virginia negroes and an indication of what is being quietly done through the co-operation of many agents—the preacher, the teacher, the farm demonstration agent, the business man, the housewife—to solve the race problem. WOMEN'S MEETING The welfare of the negro race is so closely associated with the life in the home that Hampton institute gave a prominent place to the discussion of home problems in the farmers' conference. The heads of the domestic arts and domestic science departments, as well as others who are interested in home economics, met the colored women and discussed the practical problems relating to health and hygiene, and gave some interesting demonstrations in caring for the sick. FARM MACHINERY. The advantages and purposes of various farm implements, as well as the conditions under which they can be used to advantage, were informally discussed by men who had had practical experience in farming. Plows, harrows, and farming machinery received attention. NEGRO CANNING CLUBS. NEGRO CANNING CLUBS. Under the direction of Jackson Davis, Richmond, Va., state supervisor of elementary schools in Virginia, and with the co-operation of the seventeen colored supervising teachers, who are working in eighteen counties of Virginia, a splendid movement for teaching negro girls the art and value of canning vegetables and fruits has been in successful operation ever since the spring of 1911. This organization is known as Negro Home Garden association. DRESSING POULTRY. DRESSING POULTRY. Miss Mary Yates of Toronto, Canada, who is recognized upon two continents as the greatest authority upon the subject of table poultry, gave a demonstration of dressing poultry for roasting. Miss Yates was at one time connected with the royal household of England, and was poultry instructor at the Studley Agricultural college, England. She is now on the Ontario government lecturing staff. DR FRISSELL SPEAKS DR. FRISSELL SPEAKS. Dr. Hollis B. Frissell, the principal of Hampton, expressed his satisfaction with the excellent progress which the colored people are making in agriculture and in kindred lines of work throughout the south. He declared that the best people of the whole country are intensely interested in what the colored people are doing to better the conditions in the home, in the farm, and in the schoolroom. He emphasized the importance of the negro preacher in the forward movement among the colored people. He showed the relation of Dr. Wallace Buttrick, secretary of the general education board, to the securing by the people of better schools, better homes and better agricultural results. Cooperation, in his opinion, is the great word of our modern times. MAJOR MOTON'S ADDRESS. Robert R. Moton, the well-known commandant of cadets at Hampton institute, spoke to a large audience of white and colored people on the value of teaching children to love the things by which they and their parents have lived and must continue to live. He said that men were slowly getting over the idea that anybody could be "just a farmer." While he values reading, writing and arithmetic, nevertheless he rates living as much more important than mere academic studies. POTATO RAISING. POTATO RIISING. Prof. P. T. Cole of the Norfolk trucking station discussed the problem of raising potatoes. He gave some interesting figures for the shipment of Irish Cobbler potatoes from Norfolk: 1906-07, 682,079 barrels; 1908-09, 799,152; 1909-10, 934,592; 1910-11, 587,141. From Eastern Shore, Va. there were shipped, during the season of 1910-11, 974,928 barrels. Tidewater Virginia ships over three million bushels of potatoes every year. The value of the truck crops from eastern Virginia exceeds fifteen million dollars every year. Prof. Cole gave the following formula and cost of a good potato fertilizer: 10 pounds of nitrate of soda at $36.50 per ton; da at $60.50 per liter tilizer: 10 pounds of nitrate of soda at $36.50 per ton; 400 pounds cotton seed meal at $28.00; 400 pounds tankage at $28.00; 400 pohrdlu mfwppage at $40.00; 150 pounds sulphate of ammonia at $70.00; 750 pounds acid phosphate at $13.00; 200 pounds sulphate of potash at $47.00. This gives a fertilizer mixture costing $30.55. He recommended the use of from 1,000 to 1,800 pounds of this fertilizer per acre for potatoes. The unusual of this formula is that the nitrogen is obtained from several sources, and is therefore available for the potato during the whole growing season. CITY-BRED FARMER. George A. Cosgrove of Willington Conn., a white farmer of ability and respect, told, the story of his emigration from the city to the farm. At the age of fifty-seven, broken down in health and with a small amount of capital, Mr. Cosgrove, who was city born and city bred, moved with his wife and two grandchildren on a farm. The financial panic of 1893 closed the factory in which Mr. Cosgrove had served as a shipping clerk for five years. The little capital which Mr. Cosgrove and his wife had saved was used in buying a small farm and the necessary tools. No one in the family knew anything about the common duties of farm life. They were just as "green" as city people could be. "City people think," said Mr. Cosgrove, "they can go into the country and stay for weeks without incurring one cent of expense. Company soon came to us from New York, Washington, Boston and other places. The abundance of our farm supplies made it a delight to entertain our friends instead of a burden." NEGRO FARMING The growth of demonstration farm work among the negroes of Virginia has grown very rapidly during the past five years, and its success has been largely due to John B. Plerce, a graduate of Tuskegee and Hampton, who has won the respect and esteem of the best white people of Virginia. Five years ago one negro demonstration agent was sent to Gloucester county and helped thirty negro farmers to improve their land. Indirectly he influenced for good seventy-five per cent. of the negro population. Today there are seven negro agents, working in eleven counties of Virginia, who come in touch with a thousand negro farmers and influence seventy-five per cent. of the negro population in these counties. Whereas the average acre belonging to the negro farmer in Virginia will produce fifteen bushels of corn, with the instruction given by the farm demonstration agents the yields may be increased from fifty to three hundred per cent. Instead of raising one crop, farmers are now raising two and three crops each year. Fewer acres produce more crops. Men are raising more kinds of food for themselves and for their stock. "BACK" TO FORTY ACRES. The following dispatch from Lenox, Mass., to the New York Herald, is significant of a radical change in American agriculture: "Mr. George Westinghouse, Jr., the other day bought of Mr. John Sedgwick his forty-acre farm near the Greenock Country Club in Lee. Mr. and Mrs. Westinghouse will go there to live the last of October. "Mr. Westinghouse has given up his position in Pittsburg and will devote his entire time to scientific farming in the Berkshires. It is understood that Mrs. Westinghouse never liked Pittsburg for a residence, and is much pleased with the idea of living in the hills." As late as the civil war "forty acres and a mule" was considered enough land for a "round-log-cabin" and a negro family to occupy. As a change from "quarters" and slavery "forty acres and a mule" was alluring. But no occupant of the manor house thought of life upon a forty-acre plantation. A gentleman needed, for a liberal living and an income sufficient to send the girls to boarding school and the boys to college 400 rather than forty acres. For dignity in the community he needed 1,000 at least. And there are still in Kentucky a few farmhouses upon tracts of several thousand acres each. The days of old-fashioned farming were good enough days for the owners of large tracts of land. They weren't bad days for owners of smaller tracts. But the time for the ownership of very large farms, save by men of considerable wealth, is passing. And the time has come when "forty acres and a mule," or forty acres and a team, in the hands of a scientific farmer, may produce a good income. It is not so easy to direct scientific farming operations as it was to tell the overseer to put the land in the valley in corn, the uplands in wheat or tobacco, and let the hogs range in the woods and eat "mast" till them to harden them by feeding them corn in the fattening pen. But land farmed scientifically accommodates a population several times as large as it accommodated when it was worked by old-fashioned methods. And in America, as in older countries, unfenced range for cattle, requiring many acres to a steer and unscientifically cultivated farms requiring 1,000 acres for a gentleman and forty acres for a freed slave, are out of date. Whether Mr. Westinghouse is a practical farmer or an "agriculturalist" in the humorous sense, remains to be seen, but in the days of his granddaddy forty acres in the Berkshires or elsewhere would have been enough for a country house, a lawn, a garden and a cow pasture. It would not have been regarded as a farm.—Louisville Courrier Journal. THREE THINGS OBSERVED AT THE GREAT BOOKER T. WASHINGTON FARMERS AND WORKERS' CONFERENCE. WM. HICKS, B. D., UNIONTOWN, ALA. The first thing I noticed was the unstinted hospitality of Mr. Washington, his staff of about 200 teachers, and his student body of perhaps 1,800. The visitor at Tuskegee ins at once captivated by the attention that is given him not only by teachers and students, but by the "Tuskegee Wizard" himself. He takes especial delight in seeing to it that the stranger within his gates is comfortably sheltered, fed and entertained all for gratis, knowing his heavenly Father hath and evermore will reward such unbounded hospitality. As I observed, I thought how profitable it would be to us as a race, if the 11,000,000 of us in this country would learn and practically apply in our every-day life such lessons on hospitality. Then the wicked doctrine of "Myself and wife, my son John and his wife—us four and no more"—would die, and then the hospitable people of earth would give it a decent funeral and turn out to the burying in great numbers. The second thing that engaged my attention was the timely lessons on self-help and economy. As unprecedented reports were made by the teacher and farmer of phenomenal, industrial progress in the school and on the farm, it was easy to see that our race's greatest need is not a gift—a donation; but a job and knowledge as to how to hold that job, and do the work as well if not better than the other man. Don't help the man direct, but help him to help himself. In this way the needy gets two blessings—the one is the help you give him and the other is the help he gives himself. The reports showed clearly that hundreds of negro farmers "are living and eating at home"—that is, living this year on what they made and saved last year. Our economic condition was ably discussed by some of the best thinkers of the age, and many helpful remedies were suggested for our economic ills. The best way to be economical and saving is just to be economical and saving, and be it now. If you have not started start today and believe that you can save. Have faith, like the man who, perhaps, when told that the donkey could not run, knowing for himself, said: "You need not tell me that the donkey can't run, 'cause I done seen what the donkey done done." So we must not believe that we cannot solve our own economic problems, because we can. Dr. Washington and scores of others have demonstrated the possibility. The United States Postal Savings Banks that are now operating in many postoffice furnish excellent opportunities for saving. In connection with our Negro Boys' Improvement association here, we have organized a saving club. Seven of our little boys have bank accounts now, and others are preparing to join. That Mr. Washington is thoroughly interested in and notes carefully the progress of his race in different sections is evidenced by the following excerpt from one of his letters to the writer: "My dear Mr. Hicks: I am very glad to note the evident progressive spirit on the part of the negroes in your section of the state. This is most encouraging. We are glad that you came to the annual Tuskegee negro conference and that you were pleased with what you saw and heard. "Yours very truly. "BOOKER T. WASHINGTON." My third observation was the fact that here at this industrial school, in the very midst of all this industrial whirl, stands the Phelps Bible Training school, under the management of the scholarly Dr. A. F. Owens, where the word of God is daily taught, and around which as a center the industrial wheels of this great plant turn I thought, as I paused in a moment's meditation, what a mighty team is this for the race's uplift—Religion, Industry and Education! TOPICS OF THE HOUSEHOLD. In an exhibition of hand carving and other arts and crafts work, a small settle, made to hide the unsightliness of a steamer trunk in a small studio or other narrow quarters, excites as much interest as anything in the place. The settle has a straight back and the side pieces that connect it with the front are cut off to slant sharply from the seat to each side of the back, making a cosy corner at each end against which to rest. A small oriental rug over the back, another across the seat falling down over the front with a couple of harmonious pillows shows the settle off to advantage. A set of cookie cutters in card suite shapes is a convenience for the woman who gives card parties. Any good recipe for cookies may be used and the cakes after baking may be frosted and marked in spots with chocolate or colored icing. Little colored candies are sometimes more convenient. To vary the lemon jelly, as soon as it begins to thicken whip it with a revolving beater, turn in a cupful of shredded canned pineapple for every pint of the jelly, and then fold in a cupful of cream that has been beaten stiff and dry. If a very attractive dish is wanted, stiffen the jelly in a mold nad turn it out in a mold shape, surround it with whipped cream and dot the cream with cherries. $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, stopovers of five days will be allowed at and west of Cafon City on the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad in Colorado and Uttah, 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.

DENVER, COLO Summer Gowns All Must Show Profusion of Lace, Is Edict IT will take an expert in the matter of laces to distinguish between the linen cluny made by machinery and the hand-made products. Since the manufacture of this and other laces has been brought to such perfection, there is no doubt that they will be used in great quantities during the coming season. The fashion of wearing lingerie and linen dresses over black silk slips or of sewing bands of black under insertions of lace, portends the popularity of cluny, Irish (and other crocheted laces), and much Val. Some of the patterns in home crochet, and many of those in cluny, are about the most effective and practical of all, for this purpose, Carrickmacross and a number of heavy novelty laces are on the market for use in linen dresses and suits. as well as beauty. This is the cluny also. Although the side frill is not as it was, it is not passe. In blouses of silk and chiffon frills, or rather wide, short one an important part. Frills to be with tailored gowns are more full, forming a cascade the throat. Two blouses show are characteristic of the se styles. One shows the combina linen, machine-made cluny lace, tucks and Val. lace, and the other pends upon tiny tucks, in batiste, with a little real Irish o and narrow Val. (for a finish) success. It is one of the dainty dainty model. New blouses and dresses are made of fine cotton crepes. It r Fine tucks and embroidery used in the lighter weight dresses of linen or lawn, make up the most elaborate designs. Lace bands or motifs inserted show the embroidery design carried over them as well as over the body of the dress, whether the fabric is sheer or of heavier linen. Val. lace in narrow edging serves to finish dresses and blouses on which heavier laces are used as insertions or overlays. Real Irish crochet is still much used and has durability to recommend it, SHIRTWAISTS MANNISH IN CUT Distinctive Feature of the New Tailored Garment—Masculine Air Is Feature Sought. Smart and trim, and very mannish in cut, are the new tailored shirtwaists. Made of white linen on white China silk of good weight, or white peau de crepe, they are all intended for the tub, and have not a frill. A back yoke, link cuffs and plain shirt sleeves are the rule for these garments. The yoke is an especially good feature, for it makes the shirt back almost proof against clinging to the shoulders after exercise on a hot day. It is because white is to be in unusual favor next summer that these cool, plain waists have been made, for anything white may be built on more severe lines than anything in colors. "Frills just naturally seem to hang on pretty pink or blue dresses," an old negro laundress once said, "but a white anything has to be just spick an' span, especially them waists that looks like Miss Edith's brother's shirts. They'll be wearing stiff bosoms next, I reckon, a-trying to look like the men." Although several years have passed since the laundress, voiced her opinion the stiff bosom has not been attempted, but on the models mentioned there is a little breast pocket for the handkerchief, which imparts a more masculine air to the garment. Flowery Decoration Lace collars which have been laid aside for many years are almost priceless now. The wide shawl-like collars which fall far over the shoulders and the fuchsia of fine linen or net are much in vogue. The lace collars or fichus adorn any dress and give a decidedly artistic touch to the plain gown of velvet or silk. A large la France rose of pink satin is worn where the collar fastens in front. Sash' Pins Again. Now that sashes are again in fashion, sash pins, which have not been seen for several years, are again appearing in the shops. These pins are square, oval or round and are dainty affairs of filigree metal with settings of colored stones. The pin is placed over the crossing of the ribbon sash, the ribbon ends falling straight, one above the other, over the skirt. as well as beauty. This is true of cluny also. Although the side frill is not so big as it was, it is not passe. In fancy blouses of silk and chiffon small frills, or rather wide, short ones, play an important part. Frills to be worn with tailored gowns are becoming more full, forming a cascade below the throat. Two blouses shown here are characteristic of the season's styles. One shows the combination of linen, machine-made cluny lace, small tucks and Val. lace, and the other depends upon tiny tucks, in sheer batiste, with a little real Irish crochet and narrow Val. (for a finish) for its success. It is one of the daintiest of dainty model. New blouses and dresses are being made of fine cotton crepes. It may be bought with embroidered edges in flouncings just as Swiss, or volle, may be. Then cotton crepes are not starched or ironed, although their lace trimmings must be smoothed or pulled, when they are washed. Some of the new crepes of this character are very beautiful and dazzlingly white. Other new tub weaves are shown which require no starching or ironing, among them a fabric called "native," is selling well. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. CAMISOLE The upper part of this pretty camisole is of all-over piece embroidery cut Magyar with short sleeves; the lower part of cambric joins this without fullness. The neck is finished with beading and lace; the sleeves with lace only; ribbon is threaded through the beading at neck. Materials required: $1\frac{1}{4}$ yard embroidery 20 inches wide, $1\frac{1}{4}$ yard cambric 36 inches wide. Complex Structure. The smart hat, which at first glance seems to be almost without trimming, may on closer inspection prove to be an exceedingly complex structure. Among the decorations seen in the new millinery are lines of silk and other fabrics in the form of pipings or cords, which, though most inconspicuous, are by no means easy to apply. A cord formed of silk, shirred over wire, makes a smart finish for the brim of a hat, but it is one the amateur milliner or, in fact, the average professional, is not likely to deal with very successfully. Corded Cottons. The cotton are lovely. Those in corded effects, especially corduroy and bedford cord, promise to be decidedly popular. DAY OR NIGHT. A. M.
