Washington, April 10.—President Taft denounced lynching in vigorous language at a meeting held last night in Metropolitan, A. M. E. Church, for the purpose of raising funds for the building of a gymnasium at Howard University. The President did not mince his words and he was greeted with thundering applause when he declared with emphasis, "the man that pulls the rope, should hang by the rope." Seated on the platform which was beautifully decorated with the national colors and potted plants were two score distinguished Afro-American men and women—doctors, lawyers, college professors, ministers of the gospel and federal officials. Kelly Miller Introduces President In introducing Presipent Taft, Prof. Kelly Miller, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, of Howard University who presided spoke as follows: Ladies and Gentlemen: Any audience in America would highly, very highly appreciate and want to listen to the first citizen of the United States. The successor of Washington and of Lincoln, who now occupies the presidential chair, is a man of the highest patriotic and philanthropic traditions. He is a man of noble impulse and of generous and all embracing sympathy. He has honored the colored race in that he has selected distinguisguished individuals of this class to fill high stations under the Federal Government and most especially in the case of Hon. William H. Lewis, who was made assistant attorney-general of the United States, being the first instance since the foundation of the government where a colored citizen was elevated to the station second only to that of a cabinet officer. (Prolonged applause.) Afro-Americans Grateful to Pres. The President has also placed the colored race under a heavy tribute of gratitude, in that he has lent the high prestige of his personal and official authority to the cause of higher education of the race, and that too at a time, when this cause stood in sore need of such distinguished advocacy. Those of us who are to stand in the high place of moral, education- al, social and spiritual leadership, need not only the light and leading of such men in your high capacity, but need also the re-enforcement of the dicipline, culture, and learning which the most rigid scholastic preparation can afford, for the tasks which devolve upon them are as intricate in their consequences, as any which have taxed the world's wisdom for solution. But especially has the President of the United States placed Howard University under a tribute of gratitude. He is a member of the governing Board of Yale University and also a member of the Governing Board of Howard University—two of the greatest institutions of learning in the United States. (Laughter and applause.) And just as Yale University, your beloved Alma Mater, stands for supremacy in the intellectual and ethical realm, so Howard University claims supremacy in the domain of the highest intellecturl and moral development of the colored race. But now the Alumni of Howard University are under especial debt of gratitude to you for laying aside the busy cares of your office and helping up promote the proposition to establish a gymnasium for the physical culture of the 1400 students put in our charge. Ladies and gentlemen, it affords me peculiar and distinguished pleasure to present to you the Hon. William Howard Taft, President of the United States. (Loud long, and continued applause.) As President Taft arose to speak, the applause was so prolonged that he was compelled to wave for silence, for the thousands who crowded the mammoth auditorium of Metropolitan Church to its utmost capacity were unstinted in the measure of respect shown and the applause given. President Taft spoke as follows: "My friends, ladies and gentlemen I cannot state as well as your chairman has stated my view of the necessity for the existence of Howard University. I can only repeat in language less well chosen that I believe it to be essential in the development of the Negro race that we should have universities furnishing the highest possible education, distributed over the country for the purpose of DENVER. COLORADO. SATURDAY. APRIL 20 1912. [Portrait of a man in formal attire, wearing a dark suit and bow tie, with a serious expression. The background is a plain, light-colored oval frame.]] U. S. Marshal Dewey C. Bailey Candidate for Mayor The above cut is a good likeness of U. S. Marshall Dewey C. Bailey the Republican Nominee for Mayor of the City and County of Denver which meets the approval of all voters who believe in restoring Denver back in the ranks of good government. Mr. Bailey's record as United States Marshal for fifteen years is sufficient proof that he is a man of unquestionable business qualifications and that is the kind of an individual that the people of this City and County want to fill the office of Mayor. In a statement to the public Mr. Bailey has outlined his policies which he intends to enforce, if elected. These policies are of a nature that will be of great benefit to all the people regardless of race, creed or color, etc. He will enforce the laws of the State, City and County as he finds them without fear or favor. Mr. Bailey has been a resident of Denver for more than twenty years and has always had the success of the City at heart. We urge the support of this worthy and competent candidate by all classes of citizens and we earnestly hope that his election will be overwhelmingly over his opponents. Let us all take off our coats and work to this end. --- State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House HANTS WI RADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO U. S. Marshal Dewey C. H.

We urge the candidate by all classes of citizens a will be overwhelmingly over his oppo work to this end. educating those who are to be the leaders of the race. (Applause.) Every once in a while you will meet a man, whose vision is a bit clouded, who talks about the waste of money in teaching men of your race the curriculum of an acedemic institution. Instead of sending them to the university, the claim has been made that they should be sent to the manuel training institution. Such a man has never thought deeply on the subject and does not understand that as a race which is striving upward and onward you need many who shall be leaders—men who shall figure in the learned professions, many of them as physicians, as lawyers, and especially as ministers. Higher Education Essential to Race Now it is highly essential that all of the men of your race and any other race who are to occupy the learned professions shall be equipped with a complete education and those of us who are responsible for the coming of your race to this country are equally responsible for furnishing the means by which they shall lift themselves. (Hearty applause.) It is essential that we should encourage those who aspire to be leaders of your race as far as possible and furnish the means for higher education such as are supplied by Howard University, by Fisk University and other institutions established for the higher education of your race. Now these people who are worry about the waste of money on that account, need not sit up at night on the subject, for I have looked into the amount of money that is invested in those institutions and there is not anywhere enough money furnished the education that is needed by the colored people of this country. (Applause.) The funds are not sufficient. Howard University is under the shadow of the Capitol and properly receives money enough to make it a great educational institution. President Takes Lynching as a Text Now, take the matter of lynching. That, as well as the administration of, our criminal law, forms a disgraceful page in our social history. I just think it is well to take a text on that subject. (Prolonged applause and cheers.) Now I know that our courts are not perfect. I know that they don't apply the law with certainty and dispatch in the criminal cases as they ought to, and I believe that part of this departure from the law as is the case in lynching and disorder. is due to the fact that courts patch in the justice meted out in criminal cases. But we must not attribute it all to the courts. There is among our people a disposition to forget the sanctity of the law and not to know that no civilization in any country can live unless the law is respected. Now lynching is claimed by some being justified because, as they say, it is applied only to persons guilty of one special crime that is particularly heionous to all of us. But that is not true. Statistics show that lynching is applied to those charge with a great many crimes and the moment you transgress once and the moment that the mob acquires the wolfish desire for human blood, the example is dreadful to the community in which the exhibition of lawlessness is given. And there is not any crime (I don't care what it is) that justifies a departure from the law or the summary punishment by a mob of the person who is charged with guilt. (Prolonged applause.) It is one of the serious questions that we have to face in this country. We have not among all of our people as profound a respect for the law and the necessity for obedience to it as we ought to have, and that is part of the reason why we have this exhibition of lawlessness over the country and these cruel murders, for that is what they are, for it is no less a murder when four hundred participate in the killing, of one man, ordinarily it is accompanied by a great deal more of cowardice by reason of the fact that four hundred are engaged in such a crime. And the only way by which it can be suppressed is that sometimes we shall have men as sheriffs, men as governors, and as prosecutors and as jurors who will see to it that the men engaged in pulling the rope under those conditions shall themselves swing by the rope. And in the matter of lynching we need not sit snugly by and say those of us in any particular section are better than those of another section of our country, because that kind of lawlessness has shown its ugly head both North and South of the Mason and Dixon's line. Fear Sparks From Telephone. Busy Man's One Complaint. The busy man is only aware of time because it goes so swiftly.—Florida Times-Union. NO 32 At the third public recital of the advanced students of the Ithaca New York Conservatory of Music recently held Miss Carice Jones, daughter of Attorney Thomas L. Jones of Washington, was given the honors of the evening by her finished knowledge of the critical works of the old masters, which were used on this occasion. Negro banks in the United States are increasing at a rapid rate. All together there are now fifty-seven Negro savings institutions in this country. Tennessee has four, Alabama seven, Georgia four, Mississippi eleven, Virginia six, Florida two. Pennsylvania and Massachusetts have one Negro bank each and Illinois has two, these being the only four in the North. Deposits in Negro banks aggregate $5,200,000, and their capital stock is $1,000,000. The first Negro bank was organized at Richmond, Va., in 1885, and the second at Birmingham in 1890. 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 literary, 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. 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 WORLD IN PARAGRAPHS 4 BRIEF RECORD OF PASSING EVENTS IN THIS AND FOR-EIGN COUNTRIES. DOINGS AND HAPPENINGS THAT MARK THE PROGRESS OF THE AGE. Western Newspaper Union News Service. WESTERN. An unusual stage production—a drama presented by deaf mutes—soon will be offered in Los Angeles. A fire in the warehouse district in the southern part of Butte, Mont., caused a loss of more than $1,000,000. Walter Craft, nineteen years old, was electrocuted while installing a wireless telegraph outfit at his home at Los Angeles. The Boston mine of the Utah Copper Company, at Bingham, Utah, has shut down, as the result of a walk-out of 350 miners and muckers. Parts of thirteen parishes in northeastern Louisiana are facing a deluge unparalleled in the history of disastrous floods of the lower Mississippi valley. In a battle in Bishop, Cal., between a Chinaman and town officers, Constable Reed and the Chinaman were killed and Marshal Douglas Robinson was wounded. Two-thirds of the cities and towns in South Dakota voted on the question of granting licenses to saloons. Pierre remains wet by a majority of sixty-nine. The wets have big lead in all towns reported. A move to bond the state of Washington to the extent of $15,000,000 for the construction of a system of highways was set afoot at Seattle by a gathering of business men from all parts of the state. Four members of the commission appointed by President Taft to visit European points in behalf of the Panama-Pacific international exposition, to be held in San Francisco in 1915, have started on their trip. The success which attended the 3,000-mile trip of the governors of the Western states through the East last fall has inspired Louis W. Hill, president of the Great Northern railroad, with a desire to bring the governors of the Eastern states on a jaunt through the West this year. More than 200 persons have been murdered by bandits along the line of the Southern Pacific of Mexico, in the state of Sinaloa, in the last two weeks, according to persons who arrived in Tucson, Arizona, from the west coast of Mexico. Of that number fully 100 were women and children. Miss Clara Barton, founder of the American Red Cross Society, died at her home in Glen Echo, Maryland. The cause was chronic pneumonia, with which she was stricken about a year ago. Her brother, Stephen Barton on Boston, was with her. Miss Barton was born at Oxford, Massachusetts, in 1821. Town elections held throughout California with prohibition as the main issue, and with women voting for the first time in most of the townships apparently resulted in a victory for the "wets." Returns have been slow but of the thirty-six towns reporting on the liquor question twenty-one voted "wet" and fifteen "dry." SPORT. Carl Morris, the "hope," has been tentatively matched with Con Comiskey of Chicago for a fifteen-round match at Fort Smith, Ark., on May 8. King Kelly of the Fourth artillery made good his claim to the championship of Fort Russell, Cheyenne, Wyo., by virtually knocking out Sergeant Smith of the Ninth cavalry, champion of the Philippines, in twelve rounds. Since Jack Curley's last visit to Las Vegas, N. M., recently, it has been no secret among those in position to know that the Meadow city of the new state has been selected as the definite site of the battle on July 4 between Jack Johnson, present champion of the world, and Jim Flynn, the Colorado aspirant for the premier honors. FOREIGN. The quasi-official relation which by force of circumstances have existed between Marion Letcher, United States consul at Chihuahua, Mexico, and Gen. Pascual Orozo, commander of the rebel forces, were broken when Orozo formally notified Mr. Letcher that he no longer recognizes the latter in an official capacity. Gen. Pascual Orozo, the Mexican rebel leader, performed a complete right-about-face in the matter of deciding to recognize United States Consul Marion Letcher. The consul spent an hour and a half with the rebel leader and presented the State Department's pronunciamento that American lives and property must be safeguarded, and that Mr. Letcher must be allowed to exercise his consular functions in dealing with the rebels. The minting of Canadian $5 and $10 gold pieces will begin soon. POLITICAL. United States Senator Robert M. La Follette has abandoned his trip through the state of Washington in support of his candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination. WASHINGTON. The estimated wealth of the United States is $125,000,000,000. Secretary of War Stimson will soon begin distributing to the national guard of the country the new automatic pistol recently adopted. The Senate committee on public health ordered favorably reported Senator Owens' bill to create a national department of public health. There is no prospect of another meeting of the conferees on the Borah three-year homestead bill within the next few days at least. Senator Smoot announced that further meetings had been deferred, at the request of Secretary Fisher. Senator Smoot has introduced a bill placing under Civil Service control the offices of collector of internal revenue, collector and assistant collector of customs, assistant treasurers of the United States and auditors of the Treasury Department. The Senate irrigation committee has reported favorably Senator Boran's bill to grant patents to entrymen on government reclamation projects upon compliance with the requirements, the deferred payments due for water to be a lien upon the property until liquidated. General debate on the postoffice appropriation bill has closed and when it is taken up for amendment the real assault on its provisions will begin. It is expected the fight on the proposed inauguration of a parcels post system will mark the beginning of a bitter debate to amend many of the bill's provisions. The senators of Virginia and West Virginia have begun a movement to require the government to account to the thirteen original states for the money received from the sale of Northwest Territory, although a century has passed since the territory was given by Virginia to the federal government. The Senate passed the army appropriation bill carrying $95,314,710, or $7,570,453 more than the bill carried when it passed the House and $2,726,925 more than last year's appropriation. Senator Warren said the increase had been made necessary by the economy wave which swept over Congress last year and caused unwarranted reductions. The indignation of State Department officials over the execution of Thomas Fountain, the American gunner who was captured by the rebels at Parral, Mexico, is believed to be certain to prejudice any attempt on the part of the rebels to secure any recognition of belligerent rights, so necessary to a successful conduct of their campaign. Senator Newlands objected to the passage of the Borah bill to authorize the secretary of the interior to grant patents to homesteaders on government reclamation projects, upon compliance with the general homestead act, the deferred payments due the government to be a lien upon the land until liquidated. The objection of Newlands' served to prevent passage of the bill and it went back to the calendar. GENERAL. A premature explosion of dynamite in the Kramer zinc mine at Jopin, Mo., killed Fred Odin and Samuel Staley. Ten cents a bushel advance in the price of wheat in Chicago told of the worst crop scare in the United States since 1907. The failure of the wheat crop throughout Illinois, Indiana and Ohio had been the worst for more than twenty-five years. Three hundred men, women and children and fifteen priests were thrown twelve feet into a struggling mass when a church floor collapsed at Harrington Park, N. J. The Mississippi levee for miles in the vicinity of Vicksburg, Miss., presents a wier scene. Fires made of driftwod dot the embankment on which refugees are roasting carcasses of beeves for food. Supplies of money, tents, food and clothing or donations of any kind to the flood sufferers of the Mississippi valley will be carried free of charge by the Wells Fargo Express Company for an indefinite period. Dr. D. K. Pearson, philanthropist, who has given his entire fortune of more than $6,000,000 to educational institutions, recently celebrated his 92nd birthday at the Hinsdale sanitarium, Chicago, where he resides. By a majority of more than 23,000 out of 25,000 votes cast, locomotive engineers on fifty railroads east of Chicago and north of the Norfolk & Western have authorized a strike, should further negotiations with the railroads for increased pay fail. Anna Sapieha, three months old, is for sale by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Louis Sapieha of Chicago, according to an advertisement in a newspaper. Charles A. Pfeffler has been inaugurated mayor of St. Joseph, Mo. He is the first Republican mayor that city has had in eight years. More than 3,600 people are registered in St. Elmo, Ill., and waiting for Billy Smith, the healer, to lay hands on them and miraculously cure them of their ills. The town looks like a big hospital. TITANIC SINKS: 1500 DROWNED WHITE STAR LINER CRASHES IN TO ICEBERG AND GOES TO BOTTOM OF OCEAN. 675 ARE RESCUED MOST OF THOSE SAVED WERE WOMEN AND CHILDREN—STEAMER'S FIRST VOYAGE. Western Newspaper Union News Service. New York.—The White Star liner Titanic, the largest vessel ever built, sank in two miles of water 600 miles east of Halifax at 2:20 Monday morning, after having collided with an iceberg at 10 o'clock Sunday night. Of passengers and crew there were 2,107, and of these but from 600 to 900 were rescued, mostly by the Cunard Carpathia, which was the first to catch the wireless distress signal "S. O. S," and reach the battered giant. Most of those rescued were women and children. The passenger list included many well-known and wealthy people, among whom were: Benjamin Guggenheim, capitalist, brother to United States Senator Guggenheim of Colorado; H. R. Rood, Denver; John Jacob Astor, capitalist; Major Archibald Butt, aide to President Taft; Charles M. Hayes, railroad president; William T. Snead, journalist; F. D. Millet, artist; Isidore Strauss, silk importer; J. B. Thayer, vice president Pennsylvania railway; J. Bruce Ismay, steamship builder; Henry B. Harris, theatrical manager; Col. Washington Roebling, Brooklyn bridge builder; J. G. Widener, capitalist; Clarence Moore, well known Chicago sportsman, son-in-law of E. C. Swift; Frederick M. Hoyt, New York yachtman; Dr. Washington Dodge, San Francisco author; Thomas Pears, Pittsburg steel manufacturer; Paul Chevre, noted French sculptor; Col. Archibald Gracie of Washington; Jacques Futrelle, short story writer. All of these are believed to have been lost. Description of the Titanic. Larger even than the giantsess Olympic, the White Star line Titanic began her maiden trip under the most auspicious circumstances. Many wonderful innovations had been made part of this trans-Atlantic wonder. The Titanic's 66,000 tons of displacement and 46,328 tons gross register were not her sole claim to distinction as the most elaborate handiwork of the shipwrights. The Titanic was the first steamer to be built with private promenades in connection with some of her splendid suites. Heretofore the greatest ocean liners have been, in fact, floating apartment hotels, but it fell to the Titanic to provide the trans-Atlantic traveler with an actual private residence, even to the exclusive promenade deck, without encroaching upon the space of the other hundreds of first cabin voyagers. The Titanic, like its sister ship, the Olympic, possessed the great length of 882 feet, 6 inches, and a beam of 92 feet 6 inches. Over the boat deck, the Titanic's beam spanned 94 feet even, from rail to rail. Fifteen watertight bulkheads divided the vessel, making her unsinkable even though half of her compartments should be filled with water. Eleven steel decks added to the Titanic's staunchness, while an idea of the vast promenading space may best be had when it is noted that the main promenade deck alone had an unbroken sweep of 190 yards on either side of the ship. Four great funnels rose $81\frac{1}{2}$ feet above the upper mast deck with a total distance of 175 feet from the top of the funnels to the keel. A Parisian cafe and palm room were features of this remarkable vessel. Besides the main dining saloon, which had a seating capacity of nearly 600 passengers, there was an a la carte restaurant, French service, which seated 200 passengers. The restaurant features were especially appreciated by those who do not desire to be held to regular hours for dining, for night suppers, dinner parties, etc. The size of the staterooms was also one of the features of the Titanic. Varying from eight feet to nine feet six inches in height, they were all roomy. Some of the two-berth cabins were 17 by 10 feet 6 inches in size. There were no four-berth rooms, and a large number of single-berth rooms, $8 \frac{1}{2}$ by $10 \frac{1}{2}$ feet, were provided. $600,000 in Pearls Lost London.—In addition to a valuable shipment of diamonds aboard the Titanic, it is said that among almost priceless jewels carried by the passengers were pearls belonging to an American woman valued at $600,000. It is stated that the owners were unable to insure the Titanic to the full amount because the British and European markets were not big enough to swallow the sum. Vanderbilt Wires Mother. New York—Mrs. Cornelius Vanderblit received a cablegram from Alfred G. Vanderbilt, her son, saying he had not sailed on the Titanic and was safe in London. This announcement was made at the Vanderblit home. LITTLE COLORADO ITEMS. Small Happenings Occurring Over the State Worth While. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Pueblo is holding a Home Industries week. Ground has been purchased in Longmont for the new $15,000 pail-hulling plant. The work of putting in the new system of street lighting in Rocky Ford is under way.

Meekers' new Town Council has named April 16 as "clean-up" day and instructed the city marshal to see that all property owners do their duty. The Paris-London Oil Company, one of the largest concerns operating in the Green River fields near Meeker, will install shortly two large oil rigs. At Fort Collins Robert Langford was acquitted of the murder of Clarence T. White, a Denver railroad man, who was stabbed to death on Dec. 5. The Brighton school board has called an election for May 1 on the question of issuing $25,000 in bonds for the erection of a high school building.

Klene, pastor of the First Presbyterian church at Fort Collins, claims the state championship for his flock of nineteen hens that laid 450 eggs in one month. John C. Hill, one of the veteran cattle and sheep men of Holly, now in Texas, has purchased 16,000 sheep, which will be fattened for the market in the Holly district. Yampa intends to have a high school. The Chamber of Commerce is working day and night with that object in view and it has made up its mind to land the goods. Abrham La Cale, known also to many as Hubert La Croix, an old-time miner, was found dead in his cabin at Central City. He was sixty-five and came here ten years ago from Cripple Creek. For the fourth time within the last two months, Frank Perry, an Italian truck gardener of Grand Junction, received a letter signed with a black hand demanding the payment of $2,000. One more railroad station near Denver will be added to the Union Pacific's map. It will be known at Roy's Crossing, near Aurora, and the Union Pacific has agreed to build a depot there. Mayor Speer will ask the leading organists of Colorado to help him select an organ for the Auditorium in Denver. The $50,000 purchase money is now available and all that remains is to award the contract. As a result of a three-cornered fight for cantaloupe acreage, the biggest crop in the history of the famous Clifton melon will be grown at Clifton this year. From 900 to 1,000 acres will probably be planted, and the acreage may be larger. Beginning May 1, daily reports of the conditions of the roads throughout the state will be received at the headquarters of the Denver Motor Club for the benefit of tourists and members of the club. Jim Warford, a former employé of the Mine Owners' Association, and famous for his activity against strikers during the labor troubles in the Victor district, was found dead with four bullet wounds in his back, near the Portland mine No. 2, on Battle mountain, near Victor.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS ```markdown ``` Negro banks have passed the experimental and curiosity stages and are demonstrating their incalculable worth to a people who heretofore had little or no access to the circle of finance. Everybody knows the difficulties a negro had to encounter in negotiating a loan at a bank, before the arrival of the negro banker. Of course if a negro had Al glit-edged security, worth a hundred cents plus on the dollar, he could secure a loan —and usually such a negro didn't need it. And if a few negroes in the community wanted a loan of $25 or $30 each, why they could be accommodated on their general reputation. But when it came to getting enough money to last you until you got out of the bank, why that was another story. The general custom seems to have been something like this: You dropped into a white banker's establishment, stood around half frightened, first one white man and then another came in and had his wants supplied, in the meanwhile you continue to be crowded further back into a corner. After what seemed to be ages the cashier looked up, saw you and asked you: "Well, John, what do you want?" you. Wen, John, what do you want? You fumbled around for words under the spur of his looks that you must hurry up. Finally you blurted out that you wanted to see if you couldn't borrow $50? "Why, what do you want with all that money?" You frame up a blood-freezing tale of distress, and are asked what white man can you get to go on your note? You name Mr. So-and-So, the note is drawn up, you spend an hour or two looking up Mr. So-and-So, stand around awhile longer, finally get your note signed and with beating heart return and get your $25 or $50. The coming of the negro banker has changed all of this for all except those who like that style—because they're built that way. Now, if you're anybody at all, you can at least get a decent hearing; and if you mean business you can even go back, take a seat and explain your difficulties to a man who sympathizes with and is willing to help you because he has been there himself. Negro banks have by increasing competition made things easier at the white banks for negro customers. The rise and development of negro banks is not without interest. The first negro bank was established in 1888 in Richmond. There are now 57 of these banks, with Mississippi leading with eleven. Florida, South Carolina, Maryland, have one each, Oklahoma 2, Texas 4. There are four negro banks in the north. Are four negro banks in the aggregate more than $7,000,000 and with a combined capital stock of about $2,000,-000. The negro banker is about the safest bank on earth, for the reason that he hasn't learned the game of high finance as played on Wall street; he doesn't have to keep up appearances in the matter of automobiles, etc.; he knows that strong forces are against him, not because he's a negro, but because he is a competitor in the sanctum sanctorum of modern power; he knows, too, that the world is watching him and that he has to depend for business on a people many of whom would rather for their money to go down in the crash of a white bank than to be safe in a negro's bank. In other words, the negro banker has more to gain by being straight and more to lose by crookedness than has any other class of bankers in the world. Negro banks can fall, of course, for in this life there are no dead certainties—except this: We are certain not to get out of life alive. But for reasons already mentioned the chances are ten to one against their failing. They ask and need confidence. Two-thirds of the business transactions of this world and all of the business with reference to the other world is based on faith. The arrival of the negro banker means a new vantage ground for the race in its struggle up the long, icy slope of life. Negro banks are not members of the state guarantee fund, for the reason that as there are so few of them as compared with white banks, they would be taxed out of existence by the numerous assessments that must be forthcoming whenever such a bank collapses from bad management or is wrecked and looted by yeggmen.—Dallas Express. Our sprightly New York illuminated contemporary Life has done a public service in issuing a "Spendthrift's Number (March 14), in which we find the following as a foreword: "When this race has passed away it will be celebrated in history for a single idea, of which we are not now so supremely conscious—and that is our credit system. On a basis of natural resources we have built up a structure so huge that it fairly reaches the sky. It is a vast bubble, on the surface of which, like inspired insects, we swim and dream our financial dreams. "The idea of spending as much money as we can, regardless of how it can be made, or even whether it can be made, is one that every American begins the world upon. Thereafter everything that he does is some sort of modification or readjustment of that idea. "We have long since passed the simple or kindergarten stage of living --- beyond our incomes. We are now engaged in living beyond the incomes of the generation to come. "The thing is so simple that it seems ridiculous." No one element of the American citizenship should take Life's statement to heart more than the negro people. They have reduced the credit system abuse to a science, which makes it no more a credit system, but the spendthrift's abuse of credit. Most of the negro's dealings are on a small scale, but small scales grow to be large scales, if not killed in their youth. The average negro would rather have a small item "charged" to him than pay for it on the spot when he has the small change in his clothes, and later when requested to pay, he becomes highly insulted and takes himself and his trade to some other victim. The easiest and most effective way to make an enemy of a friendly negro is to seriously ask and insist that he pay "this little debt, please!" This small tendency to get credit instead of paying cash for small things, and getting offended when payment is demanded, is all the more dangerous now in small things because it will become a rope about the neck when the race comes to deal in large things, as it is fast coming to do. What men learn to do in small things they do in large things, when they get to them. The credit system among poor people is a positive calamity. It allows them to get whatever they desire, whether they need it or not, or whether they have work or not. When pay day comes they are oftener poorer at the end of the week than at the beginning of it. The credit system, of which the installment plan is the deadliest agent, keeps more negroes poor and slaves to their backs and stomachs, than any other in their lives. The best way is to pay as you go, and go as you pay. It will discourage the spendthrift habit, which eats up millionaire and pauper alike when the weakness cannot be overcome. And no one can know that he cannot overcome it who makes no effort to do it, but allows his desires to lead him wherever the credit system beckons.—New York Age.

Probably nineteen-twentieths of the happiness you will ever have, you will get at home. The independence that comes to a man when his work is over and the feeling that he has run out of the storm into the quiet harbor of home, where he can rest in peace and with his family, is something real. It does not make much difference whether you own your house or have one little room in that house. You can make that one room a true home to you. You can people it with such moods, you can turn it with fancies that it will be fairly luminous with their presence, and it will be to you the very perfection of a home. Against this home none of you shall ever transgress. You should always treat each other with courtesy. It is often not so difficult to love a person as it is to be courteous to him. Courtesy is of more value and is a more royal grace than some people seem to think. If you will be but courteous to each other, you will soon learn to love more wisely, profoundly, not to say lastingly, than you ever did before.—Ram's Horn. There are 80,000 more negroes in Alabama than there were ten years ago, and the negroes of that state operate 16,290 more farms than they did a decade ago, controlling a total of 3,000,000 acres of land and about $10,000,000 worth of farm property. HOW FAR ARE WE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE LIVES OF THE NEGRO? (EDITORIAL PRESBYTERIAN STANDARD, CHARLOTTE, N. C.) We all know too well the bad points of our colored brother, and we all at times shudder over the peril that threatens our women in lonely country homes. Those who have read Thomas Dixon's writing can see as in a nightmare the hideous crimes that are possible, and too often probable. It may be well to dwell upon these dark possibilities lest we be lauled into a false security, but at the same time we ought to ask ourselves how far the white race is responsible for much of this condition of affairs; how far we have done our best to surround this immature race with the best influences, and how far we have concerned ourselves with guarding him against environments that tend to poison his mind and kindle the worst passions of his nature. He is a foolish man who condemns a race because many of them are criminals—forgetting the great number who are striving to live good lives, and to bring up their children in habits of industry and order. That there are good negroes we all know; and those of us who are old enough can recall the old days of the colored mammy and Uncle Remus, who had their counterpart on every plantation. We love the good negro, and all of us have some one of the race to whom we are bound by tender ties, associated as they are with our loved ones long since dead. It is not, however, of the good and industrious negro that we would write. Some other time we hope to do him justice, but it is of the bad negro we would write, the negro who threatens our home, and causes a chill of terror to creep over the lonely inmates of the country home. We would ask if the dominant white race is doing everything possible to protect these simple children of nature? We are prompt to point out the danger of the one-room cabin, where purity of life is hard to preserve, yet we say nothing of other influences that are equally as bad, which we permit surround them. Some few years ago when the Crittenden Home was first established in this city, the managers had great difficulty in finding a location; for some time this Christian enterprise, like Noah's dove, could find no rest for the sole of its foot. It was objected to by Christian whites, though its inmates were those who had turned to a new life, and needed help. In Charlotte, Asheville and no doubt in other cities, not Crittenden Homes, but houses of ill fame are allowed within the bounds of the settlements devoted to the negroes, though such a thing would never be attempted among the whites, and the effect is to train up a race of criminals to be turned loose. In the issue of January 4, the Star of Zion, a paper published in the interest of the negro race, has this complaint, that bawdy houses occupied by whites are located in the heart of the negro settlement, that negro homes filled with young children surround these places of ill fame, and that negro children are thus brought face to face with shameless debauchery. This paper states that there are three of these houses adjoining the large public school on South Myers street, where 1,200 children of all ages look out of the windows upc21ewd women and drunken men mingling together with no sense of shame. We hope that our Christian mayor and his board of Christian aldermen will take this matter in hand and stop at once the sowing of seed that must bring a harvest of horrible crime. Dr. R. F. Campbell of Asheville, in its daily paper, has called the attention of the authorities there to the same crying evil. It is the duty of every Christian citizen to make his voice heard in protest, for this is sin lying at our door, and we know that we are our brother's keeper. STARTING AT THE BOTTOM. "My son," said the millionaire, "now that you are out of college I want you to begin at the very bottom of the ladder. I want you to go into our factories, as though you were a poor boy, and learn the business step by step, so that when the time comes you will be qualified to succeed me." "Yes, father." "I want you to forget that you are a rich man's son. I want you to take your place among the workmen as one of them." "Yes, father." "At first you will begin as messenger in the factory. You will get to work at 7 a. m. and stay until the whistle blows. You will sweep out the offices and obey the foremen." "In every particular." "And for the present as messenger boy, your salary will be $100 a week. I think with economy you can live on that."—Exchange. TWO OF A KIND. Mrs. Pumpkins—No, I can't give you anything to eat. This isn't my house. I just board here. Why should a healthy man like you beg for food? You're fully able to work. Ambling Alfred—Why should a healthy woman like you live in a boardin house? You're fully able ter keep house! Where are our summer birds now? The ornithologists tell us many interesting things about them, but there are many questions that they are yet unable to answer. The cardinal, bobwhite and Caroline wren do not migrate, but may round out their lives within a few minutes of their birthplaces. The robin is always with us, but he is not the same bird in winter as that which visited in the summer. The bird which spends its summer in southern Missouri will winter near the gulf and the Canada raised robin will occupy summer home left vacant. Some birds, on the contrary, particularly the eastern nighthawk, travel immense distances, spending winter in Patagonia and summer in Alaska. The nighthawk covers from 6,000 to 8,000 miles each way. There is much diversity of opinion concerning the routes traveled by birds. Many species which spend their winters in South America, however, have a series of natural stepping stones to assist their flight across the Gulf of Mexico and many follow their route. By going this way the bird need never be out of sight of land. Others go by way of Mexico, but a large number disdain to follow the land routes and plunge boldly across the sea, flying out of sight of land long distances and guiding their flight by some unerring faculty or instinct which cannot be understood. The distance across the gulf traversed by a majority of our birds is more than 700 miles. The plovers rear their young near the Arctic circle and then start south, going out to sea in the neighborhood of Newfoundland, and traversing a great stretch of the Atlantic ocean until they arrive at the Antilles. There they stop a few weeks and then start over the sea again, flying southward. They next appear in Argentina and range as far south as Patagonia. Of course, the plover has the faculty of resting on the waves, so that the reason it does not become exhausted and drown in the sea is apparent. It is more wonderful that the land birds do not become exhausted in their long flight over the Gulf of Mexico, but observations have shown that such is not the case, for land birds arriving at the coast do not stop to rest until they have passed fifty or sixty miles inland. The speed of migrating birds differs, but the generalization can be made that it is intimately related to the speed with which the season advances. The black-poll warbler traverses most of the United States from Florida to Minnesota at an average rate of thirty-five miles a day, but when it starts the northern half of its journey to Alaska, it increases its speed to an average of 200 miles a day. The reason for this is that the advance of the seasons is more rapid beyond the southern boundary of Canada Much remains to be learned concerning the migration of birds. The chimney swift disappears somewhere near the coast of northern South America, and reappears at the same place, but its winter habitat is unknown. The cliff swallow spends the winter in Argentina, but instead of returning to the United States from the south, first appears in northern California. The reason for these variations from the normal has not yet been discovered. WHY HE WAS SAD George Von L. Meyer, secretary of the navy, said at the recent banquet of the American Society of Naval Engineers: "A very fashionable wedding once took place in Washington. Only the intimate friends of either family were invited and all seemed to be bent on having the best time of their lives. There was, however, one exception. A young man did not seem to be enjoying himself a bit. "Instead of mingling with the gathering the sad-looking young gentleman wandered around the house, inspecting the wedding presents and displaying great interest in the decorations. "Finally the happy bridegroom noticed the fellow and wishing to say something pleasant, and having imbibed enough to be able to do so, asked him why he did not mingle and have some fun. "Have you kissed the bride yet?" he asked. "Well," said the sad one, 'not late or.' A PRIZE GROUCH An Ohio town has a prize grouch, who refuses to believe anything that does not lie within the range of his own knowledge. He doubted the word of an acquaintance who told him about seeing a number of robins during a recent cold snap in that section. “There ain't no robins around here at this time of the year,” he said, “and no one can make me believe they seen any.” At that very moment a robin happened to fly into a small tree near at hand, and the friend pointed to it. “Doggone it!” growled the positive one. “You'd do anything to make me out a liar, wouldn't you?”—Judge. SPEAKING FROM EXPERIENCE. "Bobble, don't you hear your mother calling you?" "Yep." "Well, why don't you go?" "Aw, she don't need me very bad." "How do you know? She's called about a dozen times." "Uh-huh, but she's only saying, Bobbi! When she calls 'Robert' I'll go." DIAMONDS BORM-ALLEN JEWELRY CO. PENWALD COUNTY STERLING SI 10th Aven H. HEUER, PR RESTING PLACE FOR Avenue H H.

PATIENT FORBEARANCE. It is quite commonly said that the Negroes of the United States are a patient and long-suffering people. It is being slowly discovered that the say is not entirely true, for while they are truly a long-suffering people, that a particular character of patience which is designed by nature to overcome injustice and oppression is not generally descernable in the Negro. The patient that wins is the patients that understands the injury and takes the calm and wisest course to overthrow it. As a matter of fact, however, the Negro does not take either time nor pains to study out the wisest way to deal with his oppressors or the conditions which his oppressors have imposed upon him. To a great and dangerous extent the Negro regards his conditions and the surroundings with a superficial prejudice quite as unreasoning and unconscious as that of those who inflict hardships upon him. The average Negro appears to carry his "feeling" upon his sleeve, upon the slightest provocation offered, he ignites and explodes with a vehicle that would be splendid if it were not unreasonable. They call this beast realous of their rights and liberties, but as a rule, it avails no good. The Negro's civil and political conditions are treated alike in this respect and the most we get out of them is the magnificent railing in which he adduge and a never-decreasing continuance of our sufferings. The idea of compromising with our oppressors by going deeper in thought and action that they go with their oppressors is a wise and potent characteristic which are bound yet to learn. Shrewdness is the thing which the Negro needs to deal successfully with his conditions in the United States, and the Shrewdness must take on a character of patient forbearance, with a stud design to overcome wrong with wisdom. Might for might and hate for he is always a poor policy for the weak. In our struggle with the dominant side of this country we should remember that brains, and brains alone, are not wrath or prejudice, are to be relied upon for success. We must sue opportunity, wealth and a better feeling between the races, and not risk the loss of all by blindly invoking retaliation and hate. Herein is patience and herein is wisdom, for the inevitable result will eventually be the power of standing for which we pray and which we stand in need. This is the secret of the success of the Jew, the world's oppressed. I achieved by unity and the following careful council. It calls for the sacrifice of personal presumption and ignorant pride. It appeals to the inert wise of the race. Where rights are accorded they should be sternly defended, where they are denied they should be wisely and patiently sued for.

Mrs. Rebecca Mosby was a member of the local order, which gives $100.00 at the death of a member, provided the member names her beneficiary. Mrs. Mosby named her husband as her beneficiary, but he died before Mrs. Mosby, who died without naming any one to take the $100.00. Her brother, J. D. Anderson, sued the order for the money as sole heir. The case was tried twice; once in the Justice Court, the society won; it was appealed and tried and the society won again. Lawyer Townsend was upheld in his contention that the money was not payable to any one, but reverted to the society according to its by-laws. Lawyer Townsend is experienced and competent; he is not only a good criminal lawyer but he is equally as good a civil lawyer. He is making a specialty of insurance laws, collecting insurance benefits and also studying how to defeat the collection of them when he is on the other side. ATTENTION! FRONT EVERYBODY!

The public will be afforded an opportunity to hear local talent in the rendition of a cantata, "Gethsemane to Calvary," at Central Baptist church, by the above choral society. The director, Mr. Hewetson Watson, is endeavoring to prove to the people of this city that there is a lot of unimproved material here, and if practical sympathy would be afforded those who are trying to acquire that which will be beneficial to the community and themselves by the attendance of the public to these events, there is every reason to expect great and wonderful results. Let us hope that there will be a large crowd present to encourage these amateurs in their feeble efforts on Monday evening, 8:30 o'clock. Members of the chorus who have been absent for a long time are requested to communicate with the secretary, Miss Jesse Young, 1229 Race street, not later than the 30th inst., as to their continuance of membership, as the register will be revised, and such absentees will be removed from list. Application for membership will be received not later than May 1st, for the spring and summer seasons. REPUBLICAN CONVENTION. The Republicans met in convention Thursday, there was not in the memory of the old residences of this city that such an out pouring, not only of Republicans to name the candidates of the ticket, that will be successful in the election next month, but many hundreds of independent voters were there to shout their approval of the naming of the best ticket Denver Republicans have put forth for the consideration of the voters of this city for many years. The ticket is composed of representative citizens, who are fully in accord with the wishes of the people, from Mr. Bailey down. It was named in harmony and with enthusiasm, and the voters went away from the convention determined to win the ticket they had named; because as they said, it will redeem Denver from misrule, corruption, turmoil and confusion. The ticket named will grow in strength daily from now until the election, because the voters have confidence in the Republican party; they know it is the party of protection in the nation, and that such a party is needed to protect the industries of Colorado and the business interest of Denver. The ticket named by the convention is as follows: Dewey C. Bailey, mayor; Thomas E. Williams, sheriff; Albion K. Vickery, auditor; Howard T. Chinn, assessor; Lewis C. Greenlee, treasurer; Burt F. Davis, clerk; Miss Grace Ellen Shoe, recorder; Miss Ida Moore, superintendent of schools; George H. Bostwick, coroner; John R. Smith and Julian H. Moore, county judges; Harry W.

He was buried under the auspices of Rocky Mtn. Lodge, No. 1, A. F. and A. M. of which order the deceased had been a member in good standing for many years. Rev. D. E.

Full instructions regarding the municipal campaign were given members of the Colored Taft Republican Club at a meeting of that organization last week. This club is leaving nothing undone to see that a large Negro vote is polled in the interest of Republican success in the municipal as well as in the state and national campaign which is to follow. The officers of the club are: Jos. D. D. Rivers, president; Lewis W. George, vice president; Spencer J. Smithea, secretary; Mrs. R. M. Grigsby, assistant secretary; B. C. Curtis, treasurer. Advisory board, Lewis W. George, William Crummer, Geo. Davis, Pearl Mason, John W. Levell and Mrs. A. R. Burdine. The Colored Woman's Campaign Club will soon open headquarters in a central part of the city. This organization will be a great factor in binging together a great body of voters into one homogeneous mass, who as individuals could hope to accomplish little, but with wise leadership, can make itself felt in any direction with irresistable force. From now until the close of the campaigns, this organization, as well as that of the Colored Taft Republican Club, will play no little important part in making Republican success a certainty. The officers are as follows: Mrs. Ida De Priest, president; Mrs. Corine O'Brien, vice president; Mrs. Mabelle Fallings, secretary; Mrs. W. Lyons, assistant secretary; Mrs. Minnie Hayes, treasurer; Mrs. Lillie Lewis, president of the executive and advisory committees.

If not why not become interested? The Antlers' Gold Mining & Milling Company is offering a block of stock at 10 cents per share. Now is a good opportunity to make an investment. This is not a "hot air" proposition, we have not a developed mine, but a prospect with the best of indications for making a mine as good as any in this state, if not the writer will be the principle loser in the game, as I have spent many years and thousands of dollars to locate this property. Raising a few thousand dollars for development (and that we do not consider very hard) we will be able to proceed with our work. Now join with us and take a chance. If you don't risk something, you cannot gain anything. A small investment in this is liable to give you good returns. If you have not read an account of this company, read the Colorado Statesman of April 6. For further information address A. J. Smith, 837 Acoma street, or the Southwestern Land & Brokerage Company, 1726 Broadway, Denver, Colorado. If you have not the amount of money on hand you wish to invest, send one-fifth and pay the balance in four monthly payments. We will send receipt for money paid and when the full amount is sent us we issue the stock to you, and if you are not able to pay the whole amount, we will issue stock for the sum you have paid in.

CIVIC REFORMS FOR THE NEGRO Will Be Urged by Delegation of Colored Men. SONPERENGOR Ene HELD— CHAMBER OF COMMERCE WILL CO-OPERATE IN MOVEMENT. Pee repairman ol) eed el eS ple of commerce, and a delegation repre-| Senting the colored residents of Sa- vannah, for the purpose of inaugurat- ing certain reiorms and general im- provements concerning the colored population. The movement had its inception through a resolution presented by Col. G. A. Gordon at a recent meetipg of the directors of the chamber of com- merce, requesting Prof. R. R. Wright, president of the Georgia State Indus- trial College, to appear with a com- mittee, representing the colored popu- Jation of the city and Chatham coun- ty, and submit recommendations upon which the chamber of commerce may exert its influence in placing into ef- fect. Colonel Gordon's resolution fol- lowed the reading in the Morning News of a letter from Professor Wright. ‘That the movement has been wel- comed is attested through a reply from Professor Wright, expressing his appreciation and giving an outline of what in his opinion is essential to bring about the reforms. Professor Wright's letter is as follows: LETTER FROM PROF. WRIGHT. Georgia State College for Colored Youths. Jeseph F. Gray, Vice-President and Chairman of Executive Committee of Savannah Chamber of Commerce, Savannah, Ga. Dear Sir: ‘Permit me to thank you for your very kind letter showing the interest which you have taken in the colored people of our city. I wish to thank not only you, but Col. G. A. Gordon, chairman of the committee on public interests, and others for the manifes- tation of your good will, I am satis- fled that this manifestation of your good will is an earnest of a much bet- ter state of feeling between the white and the colored people of this city. “Your very wise and valuable ef- forts towards creating a greater Sw vannah deserve the consideration of all the people of Savannah. Not only the energy and enthusiasm of the public-spirited white people of this city should cheer and aid you, but the energy and enthusiasm of all the best thinking ‘colored people should be en- listed. There should be, I think, a thorough understanding between the best colored people and the best white people of the city of Savan nah.” “We are interested in the civic im provement as well as race _ better: ment. You would be surprised to know what a deep interest the col- ored people have taken in the fact that yoy have sent the letter to me to which Tam now replying. It has been & subject of comment and ever the cause of resolutions of thanks and gratitude by the leading colored peo- ple of the city of Savannah. The two ministers’ unions, which contain all the leading colored ministers of the city, have considered the matter and expressed their appreciation and ap- proval. STUDY OF LOCAL CONDITIONS. “Now the first thing I want to say is that I want you to feel and to un- derstand that personally I do not want to suggest anything that does not mean for the best Interests of the city of Savannah. 1 think I under- stand somewhat the conditions, and I know it is impossible to do every- thing at once, but I do believe there is a possibility for considerable im- provement in the conditions which confront the colored people of Savan: nah, and I do believe by the co-opera- tion of the best white people and the best colored people that many of ‘these unfavorable conditions can be remedied. “I feel that your distinguished body ean do more than any other organiza- tion to bring about more favorable conditions, and this is the reason I have desired your co-operation. “In the first place I should be glad if the chamber of commerce would In- vite a committee of five colored per- sons to appear before them and set forth certain suggestions as to the im: provement of the colored people. We have agreed that these suggestions should be along the following lines: IMPROVEMENTS ARE SUGGESTED “First—The improvement of the slum districts in which the colored ‘people live, by lights, paved sidewalks and water. “Second—The discouragement of the erection of inspnitary dwellings that are in insanttary districts. “Third—Co-operation with the board of education in encouraging more and better educational facilities for the colored people of the city; especially the erection of at least one good modern school building properly finished. “Fourth—To encourage the erection of @ Young Men's Christian Associa: tion building for the colored people Inal class of negroes than the facts warrant, CORN CLUBS ARE WANTED. “Sixth—Encourage the formation of suburban Savannah and Chatham county corn clubs among the colored farmers, “Seventh—Accept thanks and grat! tude of the colored people of the city of Savannah that the chamber of com- merce has seen fit to invite a mem- ber or members of the colored people to submit for its consideration any suggestion and recommendation as to the improvement of their condition. “This shows that the white people of our city regard as desirable cltt- zens the hard-working, thrifty, law- abiding colored men: who are striving to educate thelr children, purchase their homes and lay up a little money in the bank, and that such colored people have the best wishes of the best white people of our city, “I have not enlarged upon these various recommendations because I think that if you will permit a repre- sentative committee of the colored People to come before your distin: guished body they will give you such facts and reasons as will enable you to know at least their feelings and perhaps be able to assist them in such way as circumstances may per- mit.” “Thanking you for your courtesy, I have the honor to be, “Very respectfully yours, “R. R. WRIGHT, “President.” Acting upon suggestion made by Colonel Gordon, the conference will be called at the chamber of commerce at some early date with representa- tives present to discuss the issues. THE FUEL OF THE FUTURE. Problems of combustion are being carefully studied by government engl- neers and investigators by means of stationary boiler plants, house-heating boilers and a long combustion cham- ber; proper classification and relative prices for coals by means of specifi cations and purchase by contract, and more economical use and utilization of fuels heretofore not regarded as adapted to such purposes by means of briquetting, coking and producer gas plants, says the Philadelphia In- quirer. Among these fuels is peat, samples of which have been used in the mak- ing of producer gas. The use of peat for domestic purposes in European countfies dates back several hundred years, but the extensive development in methods of mining and utilizing peat has been largely within the last ten years. At the present time in many of the European countries peat is a source of power development through the aid of the gas producer and engine, and the utilization of the peat bogs is becoming general. Some idea of the extent of this development may be had from thé statement that Rus- sia alone mines annually over 5,000,000 tons of dry peat. It is estimated by the United States geological survey that the bogs of this country contain approximately 12,888. 000,000 tons of dry peat commercially available, At a market value of $3 per ton for machine peat bricks, this represents over $28,600,000,000. ‘The Canadian government {s carry- ing on extensive researches relating to the use of peat, as this fuel is found in very large areas in Canada. | The cost of preparing peat for the market is comparatively small. Re. Mable figures are not available for the United States, For one locality in Sweden, visited in 1908, coal cost $3.75 per ton, and peat, delivered on the op: erating floor, 80 cents per ton. POOR CONSOLATION. Mayor Baker, of Cleveland, said at a recent Democratic banquet, apropos of a disgruntled statesman: “He was disgruntled, he had a right to be disgruntled, and all our consola: tion and comfort rang as hollow as the keeper's consolation to the poor shot, “A poor shot made a dreadful exhl vition of himself while rabbiting. Finally a rabbit, about five yards in front, sat down broadside to him and he took slow and careful alm. “It seemed to him he couldn't miss ‘such a splendid broadside, and after ‘the report he opened his eyes and sald to the keeper, hopefully: “Well, did I hit him?" “The keeper scratched his ear. “‘] dunno, sir,’ he said, ‘as T can't exactly say you hit him, but I never seen a rabbit wuss skairt.’” NOT THE ONE LOST. Small and independent Mamie was exploring a toy shop with her mother and two older brothers. To see what she would do in an emergency they hid behind a counter asd watched her. After looking around and finding her- self quite alone she serenely resumed her trudge, gazing complacently at the array of dolls and toys. Presently a floorwalker, whg had taken in the bit of fun, approached her and said: “Why, hello. Aren't you lost?” “Oh, no," she smiled patronizingly, “[ tsn't; dem 1s."—Harper’s Bazar. NOT LISTED. “First thing you do,” says the em: ployer to the new young man who has been engaged as a city salesman, “you go into the back office and take that desk the other man used, and see if you can get some order out of chaos.” An hour later the enthusiastic young man appears and diffidently reports: “Mr, Kimpblet, I'm sorry, but have looked all through the card {n- dex and the telephone directory, and I can't find the address of Mr. Chaos to ‘solicit that order from him.”—Judge. PORTUGUESE WEST AFRICA FOR SALE {t ls Rumored That American Capitalists will Buy Pos- sessions, rongiaunen snces anette TREASURY IN A BAD CONDI- TION AND COUNTRY IS NEGOTI- ATING TO PART WITH RICH LAND. Portuguese West Africa, according to reports from Europe, is for sale and there is some talk of American capi calists acquiring the African posses: sions of the Portuguese, which is In- nabited by 6,000,000 blacks. The coun: try 1s said to offer great opportunt: Hes along agricultural lines. The Portuguese Congo is connected with the Congo Free States, which has 4 population of 46,000,000 blacks. It is said that the purchase of Portuguese West Africa by American capitalists, ind the introduction of farming among the natives would also have a great in. fluence on the future of the blacks of the Congo Free Siate, as they, too, would likely be shown eventually the wisdom of raising cotton and tilling the land in which they live, which is known for its fertility. _ Those deeply interested In the _pur- chase of Portuguese West Africa by ‘Americans predict that the contact of the natives with whites and negroes from America will bring many radical changes in Africa, where thousands of blacks now go about in an uncivilized state. Aside from the introduction of farming on a large scale, the mode of living of the African could be greatly changed. The natives now pay little attention to clothing, but it 1s the be- lief of many that within a decade the majority of blacks would adopt the abits of Europeans and Americans relative to wearing clothes. It is sald that the Portuguese gov- ernment is anxfous to sell its African possessions because its treasury 1s in a depleted state. GUEST OF ROSENWALD OR. WASHINGTON ADDRESSES MANY MEETINGS IN CHICAGO— THOUSANDS TURNED AWAY. Chicago.—Dr. Booker T. Washing- ton left here for the east, after having spent a week in Chicago as the guest of Julius Rosenwald, the philanthro- vist, and trustee of Tuskegee Instl- tute, Dr, Washington delivered more than 15 addresses during the week. The largest meeting was at Orchestra hall, The educator spoke under the auspices of the Chicago Sunday Even- ing club, and fully 8,000 persons tried to crowd into the auditorium, thou- sands being tuned away.

By ellmt. nating Burns and Jim Flynn, and then Langford or MeVea, he figures that Johnson will be forced into a contest with him, Jeanette in the past year has dem. onstrated beyond the, shadow of a doubt that he 1s a genuine contender for the world's championship. His win over Sam Langford at the Madl- son Square Garden was the best evi: dence of his class, Langford's subse. quent defeat by McVea eliminated the “tar baby,” and as for McVea, he was stopped by Jeanette in forty-nine rounds, and later decisively whipped ‘by him in thirty rounds. NEGRO BOY SAVES BABY’S LIFE. _ Athens, Ga.—William Lane, a young negro boy, saved the life of Leslie, ‘the three-year-old child of Mr. and bet ‘W. H.

NEGROES IN BAR ASSOCIATION LEWIS NOT THE ONLY ONE MIN- NEAPOLIS LAWYER TELLS WICKERSHAM. Washington, — Attorney General Wickersham’s protest against the oust ing of Assistant Attorney General Wil lam H. Lewis, a negro, from member ship in the American Bar association has brought forth a letter from a Minneapolis lawyer, who says that a lawyer of that city, “nearly a_ full blooded negro,” is a member of the as sociation, | ‘The letter says that the negro at torney was elected to membership at the Boston meeting last year, despite the assertion of George W. Whitelock, secretary of the association, in a let- ter to the attorney general, that no ‘one except a white man had held mem. bership in that body. The attorney general informed Mr. Whitelock of the communication, Bay. ing it seems to have a distinct bear. ing on the Lewis case, and asking a confirmation or correction. Boston.—The American Bar associa. tion has determined to insist on the expulsion of Assistant Attorney Gen- eral William H. Lewis. The attitude of the association was made known in a circular signed by President Greg: ory. ‘The circular asks its members to uphold the action of the officers, and adds: “Every effort was made to represent the matter to Mr. Lewis in such a way as to induce him to relieve the situa: tion by retiring voluntarily, and it was hoped at one time that this had been accomplished. “Finally the members of the com- mittee took the action indicated by their resolution. “Notwithstanding all efforts to raise an Issue not involved, the facts remain that Mr. Lewis was elected to mem- bership in the association under a misapprehension, and he now insists on retaining the advantages of an elec- tion thus obtained.” INVITED TO COMPETE ANDREW CARNEGIE DESIROUS THAT NEGROES MAKE AN EF- FORT TO WIN TROPHY TO BE AWADED FOR THE BEST COT- TON GROWN IN THE UNITED STATES. The officers of the American Land and Irrigation exposition, which wat held in New York city last fall, and which is to be held again November 16 to December 2, 1912, in the Sev- enth Regiment armory, announces that Andrew Carnegie has just given a trophy valued at 3750 to be award. ed 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 addi. tion to the prizes already offered, oth- ers are as follows: President. Stilwell of the exposition has already donated a $1,000 trophy for the best exhibit of white potatoes; 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 varlety or varletles grown any- where. ‘The exact terms of the awards and full list of prizes, together with any information regarding the various competitions, will be sent upon appli- cation to Gilbert McClurg, general manager, the American Land and Irrt- gation 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, Car- negie desires. HE WON THE BET. It was a tavern where a newly-ar- rived commercial traveler was hold- ing forth. “I'll bet anyone $5," he said, “that I have got the hardest name of anyone in this room.” An old farmer in the background shifted his feet to a warmer part of the fender. “Ye will, will ye?” he drawled. “Well, I'll take ye on, I'll bet ye ten agin’ your five that my name'll beat yours.” “Done,” cried the commercial tray- eler. “I've got the hardest name in the country, it 1s Stone.” ‘The old man took a chew at his to- bacco. “Mine,” he said, “ls Harder.” —Mack’s National Monthly. NEW JOB WAS SAFE. A man who goes up to Maine each year for the hunting was quite sur- prised this season upon arriving at the village hotel to find one of the old and best-known guides loafing about idle. “Well, Lafe,” asked the visitor, “don't you guide hunting parties any more?” “No, I gave it up,"*’ slowly answer- ed Lafe. “Got tired of being mistook for a deer.” “I don't blame you. How do you earn your living now?” “Guide fishin’ parties now. So fer ‘nobody ain't mistook me fer a fish."— ‘@arper’s Magazine.

ENGRAVERS-PRINTERS ON UR CUTS TAULKS DENVER, COLO THE COMING OF THE NEGRO TO THE SOUTH There is evidence to lead us to believe that it was in accord with God's purpose that America should be the home of a people who should be leaders in Christian civilization. And in the fulness of time America was discovered. Then it chanced—or was it mere chance? that "as the eagle stirs her nest" conditions stirred the Anglo-Saxon race, which was even then the foremost race of civilization, to desire and to seek a refuge. They came to America. Soon after, the Negro also arrived. His intelligence and enterprise did not cause him to come. The God who makes the wrath of men to praise him overruled for good the mercenary motives of the slave trader and caused the Negro not merely to come, but to be brought with no concern as to the cost of passage across the ocean. "God moves in a mysterious way." Can human judgment or spiritual discernment enable us to see why chance—or was it mere chance?—should put thus together the dominant race with the most backward race of civilization? Let us reason together: The Negro on being brought to America was sold to northern people as a slave, but the "God who tempers the wind to the shorn lamb." had decreed that the south, with climate and soil best suited to his temperament and for his labor, should then and ever be the Negro's home? SLAVERY TO THE NEGRO A BLESSING IN DISGUISE. BLESSING IN DISGUISE. And whether we censure or make excuse for American slavery, it had a purpose to serve in the realization of the prayer. Thy Kingdom come, to clear the forest and lay the foundations for physical conditions and environment which progressive, Christian civilization demanded, the white man needed the Negro's splendid muscles and brawn. To shake off his ignorance and heathenism, the Negro needed the knowledge of God that was gotten in and the discipline and knowledge of the work that was gotten by the system of slavery. As the Negro's needs were greater and more numerous he received greater benefit from the system of American slavery than did the white man. Viewed from one standpoint, American slavery to the Negro was a disguised blessing. God cannot effectually use an individual or race that has not learned to serve. Before Christ himself was made Lord over all and all power was given unto him, he became the servant of all. The Jews, who were God's chosen people, had through slavery to learn the lesson of service. Through the contact incident to service they became possessors of of a knowledge of God, handicraft, and and sciences of the Egyptians. Similarly by the contact incident to service, the Negro became the possessor of a knowledge of God handicraft, and discipline of mind. They learned "hardness" and "by the things they suffered" they learned obedience. We serve God by obedience to the authority of God only by having learned obedience to the authority of men. There are reasons too numerous to mention for the belief that the same providence that permitted the Negro to be a slave in the south also caused him to be a free man with the south for his permanent home. There is no such thing as chance, except in novels and books written by people of shallow minds for people of minds more shallow to read. And there are abundant reasons for the statement that freedom, when it did come, was a great blessing to the Negro, but a blessing far greater to the white man. Viewed from the sane and right standpoint, the white man, especially the southern white man, could and should celebrate the first day of January, for he too was emancipated then as well as the Negro. The Anglo-Saxon race is unquestionably the leading race on earth. God has entrusted to it influence, power, dominion and not least the Bible. This race is logically the teacher of mankind. Great and fearful responsibility! Now listen yet again: THE FIDELITY AND GENTLENESS OF THE RACE. During the civil war, the Negro supported the women, children and old men of the white race and supported even the armies whose success meant his continued enslavement. His devotion and fidelity to his owner was marvelous. He followed his master to the front. During the master's illness, the faithful Negro nursed him. When bleeding and wounded the master fell, the devoted Negro bore him tenderly home to die and at his burial shed tears of sincere regret at his grave. What race or races would have exhibited such fidelity and devotion under such circumstances so pregnant with temptation. For, be it remembered that had the Negro resorted to the torch, to massacre and to numberless things he could have done to aid in a blow for his liberty, the civil war would have been brought to an abrupt end before it had fairly begun. But he did no such thing. A PRIMARY RELIGIOUS OBJLIGATION OF THE WHITES. Now ought not that fact and his characteristic gentleness and docility, as well as the unmistakable teachings of the New Testament, lead the white man to consider that he owes the Negro a debt of no small magnitude? While the southern white man is not slow to admit that in a gospel sense he is debtor to the Jew, the Greek and the Barbarian, is he not too slow in his admission of the fact that he is chief of all debtor to the Negro? For is not our most important duty always the duty nearest to us? And is not the southern white man's greatest opportunity to work for the realization of the prayer, Thy Kingdom come, to be found in the opportunity which is furnished by the condition of the Negro at his very door? "May my hand forget its cunning and my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth" if ever I utter or write a single word calculated to make less any effort in blessed work of Foreign Missions. But even in work for Christ ought not some efforts relatively to take precedence of others? To make a great sacrifice to relieve a yellow fever epidemic in Calcutta would bespeak breadth of soul, but if in doing so we ignored at the very same time the suffering and dying from an epidemic of smallpox at our very door—a disease, the nature and proximity of which would keep us and our loved ones threatened with death. What would such conduct indicate? Does not the above aptly portray the southern white man's zeal for Foreign Missions? And yet the Negro's condition, while a mill stone around the Negro's neck, is a curse and hindrance to the white man also. Ignorance is not only a curse to the possessor, but to all who are brought in contact with it. And is not self preservation humanity's first law? WHITE PROGRESS CONDITIONED ON NEGRO ADVANCE These things must be done: The white man must either eliminate and exterminate, or evangelize and educate the Negro. And to educate him being the right way, the more humane, God's way, safety for the white man and salvation for the Negro are to be found in the moral, educational and religious betterment of the Negro by the white man. Nothing is ever settled unless it be settled right—in accordance with God's laws and standards. THE SOUTHERN WHITE MAN SHOULD GIVE THE SOUTHERN NEGRO THE GOSPEL "We are part of all with which we come in contact." Then self-interest, to say nothing of Christianity, ought to cause the white man to strive strenuously for the Negro's education and betterment. God did not solve the human problems until he gave the world Christ. As the methods of expediency and the judgment of the white man's wisdom have thus far failed and will continue to fail to solve the race problem, would it not be better to accept and put in practice the wisdom of God and give the Negro Christ—the gospel? The gospel will settle all human problems to the best good and contentment of all concerned. The gospel is what the negro sorely needs—in fact all mankind needs. It will save from sin. It will make a man more useful to himself and to others, for were not all the inventions which bless mankind today, made in lands where God is known and Christ is preached? It makes a man industrious. It makes womanhood honored and respected and protected. It also makes a man more humane. In fact, the gospel makes the dumb to speak, the deaf to hear, the lame to walk, the blind to see. It makes man a new creature in Christ Jesus. It brings God to man and man to God. It makes us like Christ whom we shall see as he is, because we are like him.—The Home Field. DUTCH MONEY IN OUR FARMS. A good share of the money borrowed on farms in this country comes from Holland. For years the Dutch capitalists have been turning their surplus money over to the American farmers to develop the vast agricultural reaches of the country, says the New York Sun. South America and Africa are now soliciting money from Holland for improving their crops, and as a result less money is now being placed by the Dutch on American farms. Under this demand the Holland bankers have raised rates on money and the class of securities. Almost any price is paid now, and the securities offered for these loans are only of the gilt-edge kind. As a result of this pressure the actual amount of money in Holland available for this purpose has shrunk perceptibly. Again Holland is turning to its own agricultural fields, which means that capital that might be available to the American farmer is now being used developing the fertile land of the many dikes. The prevailing rate for money is about 6 per cent. A few large loans on American and Canadian farms have been negotiated at 5 per cent., but this is a rock bottom figure. To take care of this big business many mortgage companies have been organized in Amsterdam and other big cities of the thrifty little kingdom. A mortgage company is now being spoken of to handle loans on Texas farm land. PLANTS FROM CUTTINGS. When growing plants from cuttings take off from old ones the tips of the branches with a sharp knife, using a quick downward stroke, taking three "eyes" or buds. When the soil is filled in the flats firm it at once, and with a quick, firm stroke, holding the cutting between the thumb and first finger, insert it in the soil, releasing the fingers as soon as the lower bud has been covered a half inch. When all are planted soak the flat, shade for a day, and set in a light window shaded with a white curtain. Pot into 2-inch pots as soon as the cuttings form a small mass of roots, which will be in from three to four weeks. From this on the treatment of the seedlings and rooted cuttings is the same. Shift them on as their pots fill with roots.—Harper's Bazaar. ADVANCE IN EDUCATION NEW MEMBERS OF FACULTY AT HOWARD UNIVERSITY AROUSE INTEREST. Washington.—It is encouraging to note the continued increase of interest in the study of modern languages at Howard university as indicated by the large enrollment in the classes, especially in German. Within three months after Dr. Schmidt took up his work in German there was a marked growth in interest and enthusiasm. This advance has been kept up through the addition to the faculty of Mr. James S. Thomas, who was elected Instructor in German at the last meeting of the board. He has fully justified the high estimate placed upon him as a scholar and teacher. A German club of over sixty members has been organized, where all the proceeding are carried on in German. While the high water mark in attendance in the School of Theology reached last year has not been wholly maintained, yet the work in this important department shows progress. The accession of Dr. Pezavia O'Connell to the chair of Bible history, church history and Hebrew and Greek Scriptures brings to the work a man of unusual scholarship, vigor of thought and deep religious devotion. Besides the work in theology, Dr. O'Connell has thrown himself with deep interest into the religious work of the university, besides impressing Washington and the outlying cities and towns through his personality and vigorous religious utterances. ALUMNI ASSOCIATION BROADENS WORK. It is a truism that the larger life and influence of a real university are not in its buildings or grounds or in its faculty or student body, but in its alumni. One of the discouraging features in the past history of Howard has been in the fact that there has seemed such a slight attachment to the university on the part of the great body of its alumni. It is gratifying, however, to note a decided growth of interest on the part of the alumni. The annual meetings have greatly increased in attendance. The luncheon tendered to the alumni by the board of trustees has been of marked value and greatly appreciated. Within the past few months there has been an advance in larger plans for the unifying of alumni sentiment and loyalty as has not been seen before in the history of the institution. A strong executive board has been formed, a well defined constitution has been prepared and adopted, a secretary has been employed for reaching the last alumnus, an official list of members is being prepared, and plans looking to a great reunion at commencement have been formulated and are being pressed on the attention of the whole alumni body. The gymnasium project, which started out with much hope, but almost wholly declined in interest after the first $1,000 had been raised, has been taken up again with vigor. It is planned to keep up this work until the $10,000 goal is reached. There are eleven city organizations of the alumni, and others are being formed. THE WEST INDIAN NEGRO IN AMERICA Every West Indian immigrant has a definite purpose in view when he lands in New York. In his own country there were activities which were wholly in the hands of white men; but here he can enter upon these and assume that position of natural leadership which was denied him at home. His ambition is aroused; a massive race consciousness, the like of which he has never experienced heretofore, blinds and consecrates him to the service of his race; the superiority of his early training inspires him with a new and strange sense of power; and with this comes the desire seen among aliens—the strong and steadfast determination to master a new society and civilization for the sake of self-preservation. Seeing that the standard of intellectual requirement in the average colored school is below what would have been expected of him in his own land, he steadily and vigorously pushes his way to the front, and finds little opposition in so doing. He questions everything, taking nothing for granted, and never resting until he can see the reason underlying all American methods of education seem to leave too little for the mental teeth of the student, the whole diet being pre-digested. The American student usually makes a better recitation, reciting page after page to the astonishment of the West Indian; but the latter cannot do this, as he has been accustomed to correlate and associate every new fact with an old. He carries with him only facts which he can incorporate into his mental consciousness for all time. The West Indian student does not care how long he takes so long as he understands every move and step leading to the solution of a problem. Where routine work is concerned, the American will very often surpass the West Indian; in initiative the latter is better.—Southern Workman. PRECARIOUS ENTERPRISE.

(New York Evening Mall.) "New York and the Colored People," was the subject of discussion at the March conference on the evils of pauperism, held in the Charities building. The conference was made particularly interesting from the fact that David Mannes, director of the New York music school settlement, told the story of his first musical instruction and the debt he owed to his negro teacher. This debt, said Mr. Mannes, who is the brother-in-law of Walter Damrosch, he had attempted to repay by founding the Musical School Settlement for Negroes, which, in its first season has 150 pupils. How He Met Douglas. He was a very poor boy, whose first handling of the violin had been guided only by an itinerant music teacher. It was then that he met Charles Douglas, and the story he told was the story of Charles Douglas. Douglas was a Negro lad in a southern town when he first attracted attention as one possessed of conspicuous musical talent. So great was the promise he showed with the violin that rich patrons backed up his ambitions and sent him abroad to study under the masters there, and as he became a violinist of power he became, too, a man of wide reading and a fluent speaker of French and German as well as of English. When he had finished his study he came back to America, hoping to find a bright future in the music world of the north. But this hope was never realized, for, though there was recognition of his ability among people who knew, the color line was drawn to shut him out of fair opportunities. There was no room for him in a great symphony orchestra. There seemed to be no place for him to pursue his career on the level for which his taste and his education had prepared him. And, gifted and accomplished though he was, he had to turn to the guitar and the banjo as the instruments with which a negro could gain a hearing. Heart Broken, He Died. "And I know that when he died," said Mr. Mannes, "he died of a broken heart." One day, a broken and a disappointed man, Douglas was walking along 27th street, when he heard the strains of a violin rising from the basement of one of the old brown-stone houses there. "It is my son who is playing," was the proud reply of the woman there to the question that Douglas stopped to ask, and, going in, he found a boy of 13 or thereabouts, fiddling away for dear life. "You do not play badly," the negro said, a little wistfully, as Mr. Mannes remembers it, for he was the boy with the violin. And out of that meeting grew a friendship between the boy and the disappointed Negro, who taught him the things he had learned abroad, and who read to him from Poe and Tennyson, and helped to shape his life. Mr. Mannes afterward studied under the masters in Europe, but it was the colored man playing the banjo for a living in New York who first started him in the right direction. Thea was thirty years ago, but it is to the memory of Douglas that Mr. Mannes has dedicated the Musical School Settlement for Negroes that is in progress in the quarters of the Mary F. Walton Free Kindergarten, on West 63rd street, and in the parish house of St. Philip's, on 103rd street. OVERDONE. The attorney for the defense: "You see, your honor, my client is a foreigner, who can't speak a word of English. He doesn't understand our laws. He didn't know it was wrong to carry a revolver." "Two revolvers and a dirk," corrected the judge. "Yes. And so, in view of his ignorance, both of our customs and our language, I ask that he be discharged." "Can't do it," said his honor. "But I'll let him off with a fine of two dollars." The ignorant one, across the table to his lawyer, and jerking his thumb toward the judge: "I'll get him some dark night for that!"—Cleveland Plain Dealer. TAFT TO VISIT NEGRO SCHOOL. Raleigh, N.
