LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY Horrible Reminder Grass Refuses to Grow on the Spot Where Zack Walker, the Negro was Burned, August 13, at Coatesville, Pa. Great Calamities in the Past Seven Years. VOL. XVIII. Horrible R Grass Refuses to Grow on the Spo was Burned, August 13, at Coa in the Past A Coatville, Pa., dispatch of April 22, printed in the Trenton Evening Times, says: "On the Newlin farm Fallowfield Township, a mile southwest of Coatesville, where Zach Walker, the Negro, was burned on the night of August 13, there remains a bare spot, where grass refuses to grow. Around the circle grass is growing in all its beauty." This dispatch is pregnant with the truth that murder will out, and that those who commit it, as an individual or as a mob, will be followed by the curse of the misdoing as the bloodhound tracts his victim, tielessly and mercilessly. Few people believe it. Walker was taken out of the hospital by a mob, fastened to his cot, and thrown over the fence of the Newlin farm; fire was set to his cot, and he was burned to a cinder. The Chester county authorities tried many men and boys for the crime, but were unable to hitch the crime upon any of the mob wrathers, because the juries refused to back up the grand jury indictments and the efforts of the prosecuting officers. Grass refuses to grow on the spot where the man was burned to death! What a horrible reminder is that to the people of Coatesville that "vengeance is mine, I will repay, saith the Lord." But the withered grass is not the only reminder that the Coatesville people have had. Not long ago their high school was burned, and then a mysterious malady came upon the people, so that at one time 300 of them were sick at the same time and many of them died. It is said that the limb of a tree upon which a man is hanged will wither and die. If grass refuses to grow upon the ground where a man has been mobbed by the community, the story of the withered tree limb, as of the withered fig tree, may well be true of the people also guilty of such crime when they assume legal responsibility for it by refusing to prosecute and punish the guilty. That this is true is born out by the terrible calamities which are constantly horrifying communities which commit great crimes and then forget that they have done so. This Republic has experienced some calamities in the past seven years that have been followed by that silent retribution which sleeps not nor can be traced, and what has been true of the Republic as a whole has been true of guilty individuals and mob wrathing communities and communities guilty of other forms of injustice and wrong that are hid from the naked eye. Within the past ten days we have had a great disaster at sea, involving the death of 1,500 people and the loss of some $20,000.-000; we have had floods in the Mississippi Valley, from Cairo and Egypt, in Illinois to New Orleans, in Louisiana, with great loss of life and property, and a wind storm has swept over Georgia, Alabama and adjacent States, carrying death and destruction in its wake. We have upheavals in politics such as we have not had since 1876; capital holds back expenditures that feed millions because the discontended labor elements clamor for more wages and less work hours and strike to enforce the demand, while retrenching nothing of the expenditures for living they have cultivated above the purchasing power of the wage they receive; and foodstuffs and rents keep on rising higher and higher, so that every increase of wages carries with it increase of cost of foodstuffs, and rents, the great mass of the people having to bear the brunt of increase of wages and interest of capital as well as increase of price of foodstuffs and rents. This criss-crossing of interests, by which all of the people are made to suffer in one and another way, is not adventitious; it has a cause for it and the cause is to be found in the tendencies of the people to disregard the letter as well as the spirit of the laws that they themselves have made. Let the mob wrathers everywhere, and those who systematically injure the good name and reputation and despoil others for selfish purposes look about them in their affairs and they will find that they have to pay dearly for their doings —New York Age. Bowling Green, Ky., April 22. According to a bulletin issued by the State Board of Health, positive evidence of hookworm disease have been found in twenty-eight per cent, of the specimens submitted to the State laboratory from twenty-five counties in Kentucky. The disease is more prevalent among the whites than among the colored. state Hist & Nat Hist Bodies State House Wise Sayings of Our Next Mayor, Dewey C. Bailey "If every citizen and corporation makes a just return of property for taxation, the income from this source would add materially to the income of the city, and would reduce the average tax of the home owners as much as the consolidation of the City and County of Denver has done, and every well-thinking citizen who has the interests of the city at heart will do this and those who fail should be prosecuted. Long-time bond issues should be encouraged for money to be used in public improvements so that the coming generation may stand their share of that burden. I meet so many poor men on the streets and men that come to my office soliciting work or something to do to make a living, that I am thoroughly impressed with the idea that a municipal lodging house is absolutely necessary in the City of Denver. Of course, it must be surrounded with every care so that the privilege of shelter to the unfortunate may not be imposed upon, and if I am elected Mayor I shall most assuredly take this matter up for consideration, believing it to be the very best thing that can be done to take care, temporarily, of men who are out of employment and who are even unable to secure lodging on account of their being without funds. I believe this question should be thoroughly investigated and something brought out of it that will help the unfortunate. Speaking of commission form of government, I realize that the right of the people to change their form of government whenever they deem it necessary is a fundamental American principle, but I still believe that any material change in our present charter shall first be considered by honorable and honest men and women acting by and through a charter convention, which method a recent Decision of the Supreme Court has indicated as the only legal one which will be upheld by that body. We need the railroads to assist in the upbuilding of our city; but the railroads also need us; and I believe that none of them should have a privilege on our streets that the others do not enjoy. I want to see the city own its water plant. I believe that we should buy the plant at a reasonable cost that will be fair both to the city and the Water Company and will protect the rights of the taxpayers and the stockholders alike."—Dewey C. Bailey. NO 35 REPUBLICANS RESPONSIBLE FOR REDUCED TAXES Republican members of the city administration are responsible for the reduced taxes for the current year. They insisted upon a reduction in the tax levies and a consequent reduction in the cost of running city and county. It had been the boast of the Rushbill advocates that a reconsolidated city and county could be administered at a great deal less cost than under the old method and the Republicans in the board of supervisors and the Republicans in the board of aldermen demanded that a test be made. Appropriations for the current year are less by $250,000 to $275,-000 than they were for the year previous. This amount is saved the taxpayers. Arnold as asaessor had nothing whatever to do with reduction. His duty begins and ends with assessing the taxable property. It is claimed by Arnold that he reduced valuations on property. This is true in a number of cases. But it must be remembered that Denver had grown in a year to an extent never known it its history. This, the year of Arnold's incumbency in the Assessor's office, was the year of Denver's "skyscrappers." The First National Bank building, the Foster building, the Daniels and Fisher building and a thousand new homes came into being for taxable purposes. The $12,000,000 additional property values created by the enterprise of Denver's citizens, were used by Arnold to make a reduction in the tax levy. Instead Arnold used that amount with which to pay politics in the assessor's office. Candidates on the Republican ticket are all pledged to the hilt to economy and a still further reduction in taxation. A united party in city hall and courthouse can keep the taxes down to a minimum. Another quarter of a million dollars can be lopped from taxes without in any way interfering with efficiency. OVER $200,000 IN DOLLAR MONEY RAISED OVER $200,000 IN DOLLAR MONEY RAISED Kansas City, Mo., April 30. Over $200,000 in dollar money was raised by the A. M.

IN LATE DISPATCHES DOINGS AND HAPPENINGS THAT MARK THE PROGRESS OF THE AGE Western Newspaper Union News Service. WESTERN. The Prairie Oil and Gas Company of independence, Kan., advanced the price of crude oil 2 cents to 66 cents a barrel. A tornado passed over Kinsley, Kan., recently, killing three of four Mexican laborers and seriously injuring two others. The Spanish war veterans of Colorado have organized a regiment of volunteer cavalry, which will be accepted by the War Department. John Auston, a pioneer resident on Livingston, Montana, was attacked by an immense grizzly bear on Crevasse mountain, near Jardine, and killed. One company of the Twelfth infantry which has made preparations to leave Monterey, California, for the Mexican border, will be divided between Yuma, Ariz., and Calexico, Cal. A bridge across San Francisco bay via Yerba Buena island was unanimously approved by the board of supervisors of that city. Congress recently granted permission for such a bridge. Nick Haworth, who has served thirteen years of a life sentence in the Utah penitentiary for the murder of Thomas Sandall at Layton, in 1899, is innocent, according to the written confession of J. J. Morris, filed with the Board of Pardons in Salt Lake. one policeman was shot in the back, another's head was cut open by a thrown hatchet, and one man was killed in San Diego, Calif., in a fight precipitated when the policemen were fired upon from windows of a house occupied by members of the Industrial Workers of the World. A movement has been started in Springfield, Missouri, by the churches to suppress future contemplated boxing bouts. This action is the result of the McCarty-Morris fight held there recently. The church contemplates an appeal to Governor Hodley to prohibit such matches in the future on the ground that they violate the laws of the state. Secretary of the Interior Fisher has ordered land offices in the dry farming regions of the West where crops were a failure last year to refuse to accept contests on settlers' claims until certain pending relief legislation offered by Representative Taylor and others is disposed of. A great many holdings in eastern Colorado would be in jeopardy except for this order, as settlers have been unable in many instances to comply with the homestead requirements owing to the drought. WASHINGTON The German fleet will visit the United States to return the call made by the U. S. fleet to Germany last years. The National Rivers and Harbors Congress will hold its annual convention in Washington December 4, 5 and 6. Public hearings on charges against Judge Robert W. Archbald of the Supreme Court, upon which may be based impeachment proceedings, were decided upon by the House judiciary committee.

The bill will necessitate an average increase of appropriations of $22,000,000 a year for the next five years. While busily engaged in probing an accident to a British ship and laying bare a negligence in the matter of lifesaving contrivances that has caused deep criticism throughout the land, the Senate committee, investigating the sinking of the Titanic, has suddenly found itself in the delicate position of the little boy who threw stones at other people's houses and himself lived in a house of glass. In a word, it has suddenly discovered that the safeguards surrounding citizens of the United States when afloat in boats belonging to the United States are even more deplorable than those upon the White Star liner. The United States army transport service, a service which annually transports thousands of soldiers from ports in the United States to ports in our foreign possessions, is wholly negligent in this respect. An international maritime conference and the immediate equipment of all United States army transports with life-saving apparatus were provided for in bills passed unanimously by the House. Both measures were introduced as a result of the Titanic disaster. The plight of Americans on the west coast of Mexico appears to have been exaggerated, according to the report received at the War Department from Quartermaster Ely, in command of the transport Buford, which was sent to that coast to pick up distressed foreigners. FOREIGN. The British sloop of war Algerine, Commander Brooker, will leave Esquimalt immediately, bound to Mexican ports to protect British interests in connection with the outbreaks reported from Mazatlan, San Blas and other ports.

She will sail on the Oceanic for New York to claim her sons. Unionist members of the British House of Commons are preparing to cetechise the government regarding what they characterize as Ambassador Bryce's "treasonable act" in supporting the proposals made by President Taft in the matter of Canadian reciprocity and as to whether the government proposes to recall the ambassador SPORT. Luther McCarthy of Springfield, Mo., knocked out Carl Morris of Tulsa, Okla., in the sixth round of a ten-round bout before the Springfield Athletic Club. Edward W. Cochrane, sporting editor of the Kansas City Journal, refereed the bout. McCarthy won with a swinging right to the jaw which followed a straight left that had staggered the Oklahoma. Morris went to the floor for a count of fourteen and even then did not appear to realize that he had lost. GENERAL. A son was recently born to Mr. and Mrs. John D. Rockefeller, Jr. This is their fourth child. Condition of winter wheat, 79.7. Estimated production, 370,714,000 bushels. Condition of rye, 87.5.

Nineteen thousand ministers will institute a vigorous warfare against employment of children under sixteen in factories and textile mills, was announced at the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Five hundred idle miners, attended by a sprinkling of women, stopped a Reading railroad main train near Alaska shaft, Mount Carmel, Pa., and prevented carpenters, firemen and other company hands from going to work at the mines. The cable ship Minia, which relieved the Mackay-Bennett in the search for bodies of Titanic victims near the scene of the disaster, has reached Halifax, N. S., according to wireless advices, bringing fifteen additional bodies. Higher paid and more thoroughly equipped teachers are urged for the public schools of the country by Dr. P. P. Claxton, United States commissioner of education, in his annual review of educational conditions soon to be distributed by the Bureau of Education. Peace among the nations and the dawn of the day when Red Cross work will be limited to the work it does in times of peace, were the keynotes of all the utterances of the opening of the Ninth International Red Cross conference, which has begun a ten-day session in Washington. Twenty-two nations were represented. Ten passengers and six trainmen were killed and forty other passengers and members of the train crew injured in the wreck of the Confederate Veterans' special train near Hattlesburg, Mississippi. Three passengers besides the reported dead are missing. The engine, baggage car and day coach and three tourist sleepers left the track and rolled down an embankment.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS The following editorial appeared in the Outlook March 30: Prof. J. George Adami of McGill university says in the New York Medical Journal that 300,000 people of Porto Rico, a third of the inhabitants, have been treated and cured of the hookworm disease by American medical science. "They have demonstrated the cause of the prevalent disease of the inhabitants and shown how this disease can be arrested. Through their efforts the disease has been cured, and from being feeble and incapable, the victims of a progressive malady ending in death, the inhabitants of Porto Rico have had their vitality restored to them, have received health, strength and happiness." We have not heard much of the work of the Rockefeller hookworm commission, which was given a million dollars to fight the hookworm in our southern states, but we are sure it is doing a good work. What medical science has done in stamping out smallpox and yellow fever, which in the 20 years after the Civil war so devastated the population of the southern states, it should be able to accomplish in combatting the hookworm disease, which, like tuberculosis, is insidious, gradual and merciless. The human race owes more to medical science than to any other of the sciences, as it has not only conquered for us endemic and epidemic diseases of all sorts, but has laid down for us laws of health of priceless value.—New York Are. A southern author temporarily sojourning in Paris, France, has just published a book over there showing how the negro ought to be dealt with and treated. The cardinal principle of the book is that the negro ought to be treated not as a white man, but as a black man. We have often heard of an old fiction called the Golden Rule very highly spoken of, but somehow it takes our old world a long time to get to the point of trying it—except on paper. However, nothing is ever as bad as it seems to be, and while a southern author in France was attempting to show the French the error in their ways in treating the negro as a man, a southern editor in this country was appealing for a more enlightened policy toward the negro, on the part of white Americans. We quote from the Memphis Scimitar: "If all the colored brethren were Booker T. Washington, remarks a Chicago editor, the race problem would vanish. "This is doubtful. The chief grievance against the colored man seems to be his disposition to rise to a level with the white man. We are told by Dr. Tom Dixon, for example, that as an ignorant laborer the colored man is all right, but that education spoils him, 'makes him a monstrosity.' "If this is comprehensible at all, it seems that so long as the colored man is content to be little more than a mere animal, and to do the whites' dirty work, he is acceptable; but that as a man, with a soul, and aspirations for advancement, he is intolerable. "According to this view, Booker Washington is a monstrosity and just the sort of a man who is shaking the tranquility of the whites. But this view cannot be acceptable to the common sense of humanity. "There is an element in the south that makes noise out of all proportion to its numbers, which seeks to hold the negro, through his ignorance, in voluntary and perpetual slavery. Education and industrial skill threaten to emancipate him. Hence the tears. "It would be more true to say that if all whites had the broad mind and high spirit of Booker Washington, there would be no race question to settle. There would be hearty co-operation for the advancement of both whites and negroes. "The whole problem has grown out of the fact that while the colored leaders have made great progress toward a solution of the question growing out of race rivalry the whites have entrenched themselves in negro hate and stood still. "The white people of the south need to educate themselves to an understanding of the new and natural evolution of race relationship." Down in Southern Alabama a colored man was carried into court on the charge of murder. "Mose Tupper," said the judge, contemplating the prisoner over his spectacles, "you are accused here of one of the most serious crimes known to our laws, to-wit, the taking of a human life. Are you properly represented by counsel?" "No, suh," said the darky cheerfully. "Well, have you talked to any one about your defense since your arrest?" "I told the sheriff about the shootin' when he came to my cabin to fetch me heah," said the prisoner, "but that's all." "And have you taken no steps whatever to engage a lawyer?" "No, suh," said Mose. "I ain't got no money to be wastin' on lawyers. Dey tell me lawyers is might costive." "If you have no funds," insisted the judge, "it lies within the power of the court to appoint an attorney to defend you without charge." "You needn't be botherin' yo'se'f, jedge," answered Mose. "Well, what do you propose to do about this case?" demanded his honor. "Jedge," said the negro, "ez fur ez lise concerned you kin les' let de matter drap!"—Ex. Some weeks ago a woman lawyer of New York was appointed by the court to defend a man accused of murder. This was probably the first time such an appointment had ever been made. The woman was white and came originally from North Carolina. The man was a negro, had formerly worked for the woman's father back in North Carolina, had drifted to New York, got in trouble and was now to be defended by this lawyer appointed by the court. Truth is indeed stranger than fiction and destiny sometimes weaves plots that are startling. NEGRO SOUTH'S GREATEST ASSET Oswald Garrison Villard Addresses Southern Educators at Nashville. FOR NEGRO EDUCATION—SPEAKERS TELL OF THE NEED OF BETTER EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES IN SOUTHERN STATES FOR RACE. Nashville, Tenn.—One of the principal speakers at the annual meeting of the Conference on Education in the South, held in Nashville last week, was Oswald Garrison Villard, editor of the New York Evening Post, who, in addressing the conference, declared that the negro was the south's greatest asset; that the south's rivers, its water power nor its natural resources compare with the worth of its colored citizens, without whose unflagging labor King Cotton, which is still the corner stone of southern prosperity, would topple from his throne. In his plea for better educational opportunities for the race in the south, Mr. Villard said that in Wilcox county, Alabama, there was expended in 1910 but $3,339.70 for the education of 10,758 negro children, while $30,612.75 was spent on 2,000 white children, $15.50 per capita being used for the education of the white children in the county and 32 cents a head for the colored children. In his address Mr. Villard said: In his address Mr. Villard said: "Primarily, let me say that in no field of the southern educational work is there greater need of co-operation and supervision and control as in this particular one. No one knows how many schools for negroes there are. Dr. Dillard of the Jeanes rural school fund board has listed about 150 negro schools and colleges, but there are many other, some, no doubt, worthless; others are placed where there is no pressing need for them; still others have made only pitifully ineffective beginnings where the necessity for them is tremendous; some are simple frauds upon the public; others exist only on paper and make a handsome living for canvassers who play upon the beneficence of the north. "We need the best brains that the colored people possess in this work, stimulated by the best training, to assume the proper leadership for the little struggling, heart-breaking factories, for the turning out of honorable American citizens of swarthy skins. "Finally, let me impress upon you, particularly you, my friends of the south, that for every dollar invested in one of these schools you will withdraw thousands. The negro is the south's greatest asset. Not its rivers, nor its water power, nor its natural resources compare with the worth to it of its colored people, without whose unfagging labor King Cotton, still the corner stone of southern prosperity, would topple from his throne." W. D. Weatherford, a prominent Y. M. C. A. worker, in an address on "The Training of the Negro," said in part: "Many years ago the south as a section deliberately settled the question that it would give training to the negro. Various states bean establishing public schools for negroes about 1870 and by 1875 a constructive policy was in the making. In spite of this fact, however, there are still many individuals in the south, not a few of whom are influential politically and otherwise, who stand squarely opposed to any adequate training for the negro. Still a larger number are indifferent, and comparatively few white people are aggressively giving themselves to a policy of thorough training for the southern negro. It would seem as if the time has now arrived when we of the south as a united people should deliberately set ourselves to a constructive work in negro training. "There are many reasons why huch a policy must be followed at the present time—the first of which has an economic bearing. The greatest and most pressing need of the south today, economically speaking, is for a trained and efficient force of labor, and the lack of such a trained laboring class is retarding the progress of the south at the present time more than any other single influence. Inasmuch as the negro is almost our only source of labor, the only way to have an intelligent laboring class in the south is to give the negro such training as will make him efficient. STANDARD OF LIVING MUST BE STANDARD OF LIVING MUST BE RAISED "The average employer of the negro laborer at the present time complains that the negro cannot be induced to work regularly, that we will labor only three or four days and will be idle the remainder of the week, living off the wages already secured. According, therefore, to the testimony of those who are less favorable to the negro, the greatest handicap of our laboring class in the south is that its wants are too few. These wants can be supplied from half time labor, and consequently it is impossible to get many negroes to work full time. In order to meet this situation, the standards of living for the negro must be raised. He must be made to want better homes, more comforts, some reading material, better food, better clothes. To this end there must be a raising of standards through the better training of the masses of negroes. - "If the south wants to be free from a harvest of crime, it is none too soon to deliberately start on a more definite plan of negro training. Last of all, one ought to say that, regardless of the economic improvement, health improvement and lessening of criminality, it is no less than human to give definite attention to this great problem. The very fact that some men are discouraged, that they feel the weight of this great ignorant mass pressing upon our southern life, is all the greater reason why a group of broad-minded educators should honestly face and heroically address a meeting like this. "In order that we may undertake a more aggressive policy, four definite lines of improvement are demanded. First, among these stands the need for a more attractive school equipment. The log school house for the training of the negro children is still greatly in evidence. South Carolina has 1,777 school buildings for negroes, the average cost of the building and grounds being $246.88. When one remembers that this includes all the buildings in the cities, one sees that the average school building is the merest hut. South Carolina does not stand alone in this regard. I visited a large cotton plantation in Kansas recently where the plantation owner showed me $90,000 worth of gathered cotton ready for the market, where there were hundreds of negro families with children, yet when I drove to the negro school house, a half mile away from the headquarters of this plantation, it was such a place as is fitted for the housing of horses and cattle. The annual report of education in one of the states in the south, speaking of these buildings, says: 'The negro school houses are miserable beyond description. They are usually without comfortable equipment, proper lighting or sanitation. In most cases they are a serious reflection on our civilization.' "The next great thing in an advanced policy is for a larger amount of money to be spent on the colored children. One state in the south annually spends $12.62 on every white child enrolled and $1.71 a year on every negro child enrolled. At the rate of $1.71 a negro child would have spent on its education in 12 years of school life $20.52, which is very far less than what is spent annually on the children of many of our northern states." At the concluding session Robert C. Ogden of New York was re-elected president for the thirteenth successive time. NEGRO MUSIC The development of the negro as he came under the influence of the white race does not show any material difference from that of other savage races under similar conditions. He adopted Christianity and in adopting it to his intellectual capacity he caricatured it to a certain extent. He mixed it up with the old witchcraft and sorcery of his African ancestors. The Celts and Teutons did the same, for all the church festivals of today and many of the church observances are concessions made by the priests to the heathen superstitions of their early converts. Did not our great Martin Luther believe in a personal devil and are there not today people who will not sit down thirteen at table! Freedom! Who is free? Are we not all more or less shackled? But if proof positive of a soul in the negro people should be demanded it can be given, for they have brought over from Africa and developed in this country, even under all the unfavorable conditions of slavery, a music so wonderful, so beautiful, and yet so strange, that, like the gypsy music of Hungary, it is at once the admiration and despair of educated musicians of our race. Unique and inimitable, it is the only music of this country, except that of the Indians, which can claim to be folk music. In it the negroes pour out their joys and their sorrows in naive but wonderfully moving fashion; and in the face of such testimony of emotional and esthetical beauty, who dare deny them wider future possibilities in the great work of liberation of mind and soul which is now going on?—Walter Damrosch in the Southern Workman. The Workman is published by the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute, Hampton, Va. WEST EATS MOST WHEAT. Citizens of the United States consume an average of almost one and one-fifth barrels of flour a year, experts of the government announce, in connection with a report on the wheat supply and distribution of the country, just made public. They figure this on a basis of four and one-half bushels of wheat to a barrel of flour. The average of all returns indicated a per capita consumption of about 5.3 bushels of wheat. The people of the far west were the greatest consumers of wheat, their average being six bushels a person. Next come the people of the northern central states, west of the Mississippi, where 5.9 bushels were consumed. Then the northern central states east of the Mississippi follow, with 5.6 bushels; the North Atlantic states, with 5.3 bushels; the south central states, with 4.7, and the South Atlantic, with 4.6. The smaller consumption in the south is accounted for by the fact that corn meal is an important substitute for wheat flour. In some of the heavy surplus potato-producing sections of the northern states, such as Maine Michigan and Wisconsin, potatoes are another substitute. Furnished Rooms SHORT ORDERS AT ALL ahoe Street.

Sobriety, order, cleanliness, progressiveness and all the characteristics of decency are of great importance to the welfare of the Colored people, and in the Republican ticket now before them they have every reason to feel genuine confidence. FOR PEACE AND PROSPERITY In the approaching election the Republican city and county ticket represents the solid thought and purpose of the keenest, wisest and most conservative elements of our citizenship. It promises not only an economical and rational conduct of municipal affairs through the acts of competent boards and councils, but it looks to the adoption of policies which will promote the future welfare of the city and its citizens. The progress of the city does not depend upon the ability of its officials to spend money so much as it does upon their ability to plan and execute the fair distribution of tax levies and the reasonable protection and extension of commercial and business interests together with a fair regard for the personal liberties of all of its citizens. Throughout all the many administrations which the Republican party has given to Denver, it has never been sensational, never erratic, never incompetent. It still believes in that same wise and conservative brand of progress. It would carry on necessary public improvements without making the burden upon the taxpayers so immediately exacting as to place the city's welfare above that of its citizens. We believe that the time is ripe for Republican success, and that all promises will be well realized. Mary E. MISS GRACE ELLEN SHOE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR RECORDER. MISS GRACE ELLEN SHOE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR RECORDER. Miss Grace Ellen Shoe, the Republican candidate for recorder, is most imminently qualified for the office. She was educated at Antioch college, in Ohio, taking her bachelor's degree at the first university in America to grant women equal privileges with men. Later Miss Shoe took a post-graduate course at the Chicago university and still later a course at the Denver university. Miss Shoe has been a resident of Colorado for 15 years, coming here as principal of Longmont High school, resigning that position to accept the chair of mathematics in the North Denver High school, which she still holds after 12 years' continuous service. She has been president of the Teachers' Club for several years, and was elected president of the Colorado Teachers' Association last year, succeeding Superintendent W. C. Schaffer of Cripple Creek. It is an organization of 3,500 teachers, and by no means a sinecure, but Miss Shoe, who is the first woman to hold the position since Colorado has been a state, has not alone made good as president, but made herself extremely popular throughout the state. One might think that almost enough responsibility for one young woman, but Miss Shoe does not stop there. She is a member of the Women of Woodcraft and the Fraternal Brotherhood, having been one of the charter members in Denver. She is also a member of the Equal Suffrage Association of the Denver Woman's Club and president of the Colorado Mathematical society, a position she has held for six years. When one has heard all these things he is quite prepared to meet a solemn and learned frump. But instead one meets a frank and delightfully feminine young woman, with a high, clear voice, who gives a cordial, old-fashioned hand-shake. There is one sure thing, the Republicans got a "live wire" when they connected up with Grace Ellen Shoe. All women voters are proud of her, and she will receive their heartiest support. The Colorado Statesman urges all colored voters to cast their vote for this worthy candidate, Miss Grace Ellen Shoe far recorder. YOUR POLITICAL DUTY There has never been a time in the history of Denver, that the Negro voters should exercise their right of franchise more than now. this also means more appointments for the colored citizens in case of a Republican victory in the state. Be honest and just to yourselves and the best interest of the race, and leave no stone unturned to get every possible vote polled for the Republican candidates. YOUR POLITICAL DUTY There has never been a time in the history of Denver, that the Negro voters should exercise their right of franchise more than now. It is indeed a very important duty that you vote at the approaching election. Not only is it important to vote but it is to your best interest to vote the Republican ticket, a ticket which is composed of individuals who are widely known for personal worth and square dealings in the interest of the best possible government for the people. We have only to reflect back a few years to recall the many positions that the Negroes held under Republican administrations, and the few Negroes who voted in the interest of Democracy in the hope of being rewarded, have begun to realize that their efforts have proved fruitless, and will join the great throng of Republican voters on election day, and help make the Republican ticket roll up a tremendous majority. The Nation's shrewdest and most successful men and the race's greatest leaders have always been found advocating Republicanism. It was the late Fredrick Douglass who said "The Republican Party is the ship; all else is sea," and again we quote Booker T. Washington's remarks: "I am not a politician but I am a Republican." It is logic to follow the principles of our wise leaders and we impress upon you to divorce yourself of any thought to vote other than the Republican ticket. To win the municipal election means a strong prestige for the Republicans in the state election, which is to. follow, and The COLORADO STATESMAN advise all to go to the polls as early as possible and cast your ballot. Mr. A. K. Vickery, Candidate for Auditor on the Republican Ticket, is a young and aggressive Republican whose record we are proud of. He has always been fair to us, in all of his dealing, and whenever he has held office, our people have always received recognition. Let us give him a splendid vote to which he is justly entitled. Every organized body of colored women will rally to the support of the Colored Women's Republican Club by attending their big meeting Monday night at Shorter's Church. Everybody come and hear J. W. Springer, Mrs. Dewey Bailey, Mrs. Elizabeth Fisher and other well known speakers, who will address the meeting. MRS. DEPRIEST, President. MRS. FALLINGS, Secretary. Matters Evened Up.

In order to gain back these places we urge upon every Negro voter in Denver to vote the Republican ticket which is headed by Dewey C. Bailey, a man who will see to it that the Colored citizens will receive due considerations in the division of spoils. To vote any other ticket except that of the Republican you will be voting against your own interests. CHURCH OF THE HOLY REDEEMER Twenty-Second Avenue and Humboldt Street—The Rev. H. B. Brown, B.

Editor Rivers supplied the congregation with a full supply of sample copies of his excellent paper last week with a full account of the doings of Scotts. Thanks, Mr. Editor. We are glad to welcome in our church and city Mr. Emanuel Lewis who has been sojourning in Cheyenne, Wyoming, for the past six months. Mr. Lewis lead the league very acceptably. The various committees of the Ladies' Aid fair have begun their work for the fair. When they come around do not turn them down but contribute something for this worthy enterprise. We were very highly pleased to see so many visitors and friends in the audience last Sunday evening and morning. Come again. This is a homelike church. Peace be within thy palaces and prosperity within thy gates. Reports are coming in on the silver contest. This is very gratifying. Let the contestants keep the good work agoing. The church bonds will soon be liquidated. The Sunday school, under the able direction of Attorney Ross, is growing in interest. The superintendent is endeavoring to have his teachers to attend Dr. Tyler's Bible class for Sunday school instruction which meets at the Baptist church on Stout street. Let us all boost the Sunday school. All men are invited to take an active part in a Bible class being organized by the pastor. Mrs. A. C. Peck spoke in a complimentary way of the work being done by the Junior choir which is under the able management of Miss Lela Rice and Mrs. Florstein Dooley. Come out Sunday morning and hear these little fellows sing the songs of Zion. N THE MATTER OF THE PETI TION OF J. RANDOLPH WALKER TO PURGE THE REGISTRATION LISTS. It has developed that most of the names which have been complained of were placed upon the registration lists by the election commission as a permanent registration list under the statute, and not by the registration committees in the various precincts. The court cannot receive any evidence touching the action of the Election Commission, as the statute confers authority only to purge the registration in so far as names have been placed thereon by the Registration Committees in the various precincts. The attorneys representing the three parties have reached an amicable conclusion as to the method to be pursued in the matter herein involved, and therefore all parties are excused. It may be necessary to summon a few of them again; but all are excused unless they receive further notice. In the meantime the voting right of no one is affected by this proceeding. Every organized body of colored women will rally to the support of the Colored Women's Republican Club by attending their big meeting Monday night at Shorter's Church. Everybody come and hear J. W. Springer, Mrs. Dewey Bailey, Mrs. Elizabeth Fisher and other well known speakers, who will address the meeting. MRS. DEPRIEST, President. MRS. FALLINGS, Secretary. BIG UNITED REPUBLICAN RALLY. There will be a united Republican rally of all colored Republican clubs at Eureka hall, 2235 Arapahoe street, Friday evening, May 17, 1912. There will be good speaking and good music. Everybody invited. Program begins at 8 p. m. All men are invited to join the parade, which will start from headquarters, 730 19th street, at the hour of 7:30. Everybody present will receive a Republican souvenir. Dr. P. E. Spratlin will preside. That Charles A. Benkleman, Republican candidate for Alderman of the Ninth Ward, will be elected, goes without saying, as his policies are those that stand for the best interest of the people.

TESTIMONIALS: Gentlemen: I want to give you a short history of my condition so that others who have the same trouble I had may know there is a cure for rheumatism. In July, 1909, I noticed that I had inflammatory rheumatism. In health I had weighed 152 pounds, I dropped to 120 pounds. After being confined to the bed for two and a half months a friend recommended Bates' Twentieth Century Wonder Powder. In the summer of 1910 I began to take it. At this time, April, 1911, I have been well and robust for five months. My appetite is good and my weight is 140 pounds and not a trace of the old trouble remains. I have taken six bottles of the Twentieth Century Wonder Powder. If you want to refer anyone to me I will gladly express the merits of this medicine. Yours truly, A. J. LYLE, Continental Building. Colorado Springs, Colo. To Whom It May Concern: I have suffered with my lungs for a long time, after trying different remedies, from which I had lost flesh, and my appetite was more than bad. I tried Bates' Twentieth Century Wonder Tea, being recommended by another sufferer, and to my great happiness I am gaining in weight and my appetite has entirely returned. I feel like a new man; no more drowsy feeling and lack of ambition. How gladly can I sing the praises of Bates' Twentieth Century Tea. GUS TRAVERS. 526 E.

JAMES E. SHEPARD AFFORD OPPORTUNITY FOR PASTORS AND TEACHERS TO PROPERLY PREPARE THEMSELVES—PLANS FOR THE SUMMER SCHOOL. Durham, N. C.—Throughout this and other states the ministers of the race are manifesting an appreciable interest in the forthcoming ministers' conference to be held July 6 to 13, inclusive, at the National Religious Training school in this city. This movement was born in the fertile mind of the Rev. Dr. James E. Shepard, the founder of the most essential educational and religious undertaking ever inaugurated for the wholesome uplift of the race. The plans of the conference are so comprehensive and far-reaching that not only ministers of the race are sanguine over the needed results that will be gained from such a meeting, but leading white divines in many sections of the country are giving impetus to the effort by substantial encouragement. Dr. W. Y. Chapman, pastor of one of the richest Presbyterian churches in the country, located in Newark, N. J., is an enthusiastic advocate of the conference. He says that the sociological problems of the race are largely to be solved by the Afro-American preachers. He has visited this famous institution several times since it opened for the reception of students and has carefully studied conditions. Such a forceful character as Dr. Chapman, who always contends for giving the negro every right that is guaranteed an American citizen, will again this year give a series of lectures at the summer school and Chautauqua. Dr. Shepard is receiving applications from ministers in many sections of the country and the preachers in the rural district who need such inspiration and instruction as will be derived from such a conference. The progressive citizens of Durham of both races are preparing to make this meeting one of national import. The institution will entertain during the week of the conference all ministers without cost. Such a concourse of divines, entirely undenominational, deliberating upon questions of vital import to the race and nation will be epocal in character. After a careful investigation it has been found that there are 30,000 Afro-American preachers in this country and that only 3,000 are rightly prepared for the noble work they should accomplish; hence the need of such a conference is apparent. It will be a potent factor in reaching the masses of the race and turning the activities of thousands of them into channels of usefulness. Beginning July 3, the summer school and Chautauqua of this well known educational and religious Mecca will be crowded with students and teachers and visitors. Dr. Johnson of Xenia, O., the noted Bible student and instructor, says that this effort has an influence and helpfulness analogous to the movements of the white race, and, although as one of its lecturers, he was greatly benefited. The musical features are away above the average. Noted singers and reciters are heard daily. Such lecturers as Prof. Kelly Miller, Mr. D. Webster Davis, with his wholesome wit and philosophy, and Professor Douglass. The program for the summer school and Chautauqua as is now being arranged will be one of the greatest sources of inspiration, educational and with splendid social diversions that have ever been accorded the race in the south. The splendid achievements of the race along commercial and professional lines in Durham are "native ideals" for the visitors, so all who will attend the ministers' conference, summer school and Chautauqua will be encouraged by such concrete evidence of racial progress. DRIVEN TO DRINK The Union club of Cleveland, O., is a large and imposing structure. At luncheon time it is one of the most populous and popular places in the city, but at night it is about as gay as the House of Usher. A man from New Orleans, in Cleveland on business, was given a card to the club by a friend. He didn't know a person in Cleveland except his sponsor. Naturally he was lonely and naturally he went up to the Union club at night, to see if he could find company. Nobody was there but the servants. He wandered about in the big rooms, growing lonesome every minute. He sat first in one room and then in another, hoping for company. Finally, it seemed as if the very silence of it all would make him scream. He was plunged in a big chair in the lounging room, which was quiet as the grave, when his sponsor at the club came in. He touched the New Orleans man on the shoulder and said: "I say, old chap, will you have a drink?" "Yes, by heavens, I will! You have talked me into it."—Saturday Evening Post. LIFE OF ABORIGINES NATIONAL MUSEUM EXHIBITS WORK DONE BY THE INDIANS. They Made Utensils of Stone—Great Quarries Were Situated in District of Columbia Before the Coming of the Englishmen. Many new ethnological exhibits have been recently opened for inspection by the public in the new national museum build in; at Washington, some of which are considered of great educational value. Of particular interest in connection with American ethnology and the Indian in general are two recently completed groups depicting scenes in the new national museum build in; at Washington, some of which are considered of great educational value. Of particular interest in connection with American ethnology and the Indian in general are two recently completed groups depicting scenes from the daily life of the aborigines. from the daily life of the aborigines. These groups form a part of a complete series of exhibits showing the general character of the various peoples of the world. One, known as the quarry group, is interesting to Washingtonians on account of the fact that it represents a scene in the present District of Columbia before the coming of the white man. It shows a group of six Indians mining or quarrying rocks for utensils, weapons and other articles and shaping them for future use. This group is intended to illustrate the work carried on in the great quarries on Piny branch and in the associated workshops not long before the arrival of the English, some 300 years ago, near the point where Eighteenth street would cross that stream. The broken bowlers and flakage left on the shop sites are, in places, ten feet or more in depth. The man at the left is represented as employing a heavy wooden pike in prying up the larger bowlers, while the second breaks them up preparatory to selecting fragments of suitable size and shape for implement making. The third man roughs out the forms of the implements by means of quick, sharp blows with a bowler hammer, using either the selected fragments or the smaller bowlers for the purpose. The fourth workman trims the edges and shapes up the thin blades with an implement of bone or antier set in a wooden shaft. The flaking is accomplished by setting the point of this implement against the edge of the roughed-out blade, and pressing it downward with a quick, strong movement, re-enforced by the weight of the body. Flakes are thus removed from the under side, and the folded buckskin pad serves to prevent breakage of the blade under treatment. This work, however, was not completed at the quarry, the blades being usually carried away to be finished as the implements were needed. The finishing touches are given, as indicated by the fifth workman, who chips out the notches and shapes the points by means of a small flaker of bone or like material, which is pressed down on the sharp edge of the blade until it "takes hold." Then, by a quick push, the flake is driven off. John Smith of the Jamestown colony, about 1608, says, speaking of a Powhatan hunter, that "His arrowhead he quickly maketh with a little bone which he ever weathe at his brasert (belt)." The shaping processes here illustrated were formerly in general use among the tribes. The women doubtless aided in the work of transportation and in preparing food for the quarrymen. The costumes shown are modeled after the garments of the Virginia Indians at the period of discovery, as illustrated in the drawings of John White, artist of the Roanoke colony. That the quarries of the region were worked by the Powhatans and adjacent tribes is amply proved by the discovery, on their deserted village sites and in their shell heaps throughout the Potomac-Chesapeake region, of countless numbers of implements identical with those produced in the local quarries. This group was designed by W. H. Holmes, head curator of anthropology; the figures were modeled by U. S. J. Dunbar, the sculptor, and the whole was installed by H. W. Hendley, the ethnological preparator. Chess Playing Led to Tax Exemption. In connection with the bicentenary of Frederick the Great, a Paris newspaper recalls an interesting circumstance in connection with a village near Halberstadt known as Strasbeck, which for a long time escaped payment of fiscal dues, by playing chess. The custom had its origin with the residence of a bishop of the village. The bishop was a keen chess player, and he found no one to play with. Then he taught the villagers, and when the collector came round they inveigled him to play for his dues. The bishop died and the custom continued for a long time, even up to the days of Frederick the Great, who played with the villagers and lost. But he bore his defeat with more magnanimity than he sometimes showed. On his return to Berlin he sent the commune an ivory chess board and silver chessmen. These are now preserved in the archives and shown to visitors, as a reminder of the former glory of her township for the chess board and the men are all that remains of its once prescriptive right obtained from the fact that the villagers never lost. JAPANESE TREES ARE PLANTED Put Into the Ground In Potomac Park by the Wife of the President. Mrs. Taft, wife of the president of the United States, with a brand-new spade, planted the first Japanese cherry tree, gift of the city of Tokyo to the national capital of the United States, the other afternoon, on the west side of the tidal basin, in Potomac Park. The second tree to be put into the earth was planted by the wife of the Japanese ambassador, Viscountess Chinda. Mrs. Taft then presented to Viscountess Chinda a bouquet of American beauty roses. At this ceremony were present Mrs. Taft, Viscount Chinda, the Japanese ambassador; Viscountess Chinda, Miss E. R. Scidmore and Col. Spencer Cosby, officer in charge of public buildings and grounds in the District of Columbia. Three thousand trees, a third more than the first shipment, which it was necessary to destroy because of strange parasitic insects, were received in Washington the other day. Immediately five entomologists—experts of the department of agriculture—went to work to examine the trees. Of 2,000 examined there were six trees under suspicion, which were subsequently found free of all dangerous parasitic life. The lot has been pronounced by experts to be the Mrs. William H. Taft. cleanest collection of trees in this respect that they have ever had occasion to examine. The planting of the trees, inaugurated with this ceremony is proceeding rapidly. They are all to be planted along the water front of Potomac Park. There is expected to be some slight bloom next season, but two or three years must elapse before they will be radiant with color. EVOLUTION OF THE CAPITAL Expenditure on All New Buildings of Hewn Granite Has Been Ungrudgingly Lavish. The authorization of three new department buildings, designed to be seen together and accordingly harmonized in their architecture, is the longest single step thus far taken in the evolution of a Virginian village into a city worthy to be the capital and show place of the second in population and the first in wealth of modern nations. (One exceeds from the comparison, for different but obvious reasons, the British and the Chinese "Empires.") He who visits Washington, says a writer in Scribners, now after ten years, who has not seen it, say, since just after the war with Spain, finds so great a transformation that he is fain to take his bearings anew from the ancient landmarks, and is relieved to find the capitol and the monument still predominant. Even after five years one finds the new monuments, architectural and sculptural, vying in interest with the old. But the decade is a more eligible period than the lustrum for the purpose of comparison because it is ten years since the senate authorized its district committee to employ experts "for the improvement of the park system of the District of Columbia." A chief element of one's wonder is the costliness of the new building. Probably the first thought of the average American, visiting or revisiting Washington, is that of Mrs. Carlyle's domestic at the sight of the engraving of the Sistine Madonna, "Lor," mum, how expensive!" The expenditure on all these new expanses of hewn granite or marble has been not only ungrudging but lavish. The three new department buildings which form the immediate occasion of these remarks are estimated to cost $8,000,000. Discard Military Uniform Old Berliners are lamenting the gradual disappearance of military uniforms from the streets. A quarter of a century ago more officers and soldiers in uniform were to be met with in the principal thoroughfares than civilians, now while, though the Berlin garrison is far larger, the presence of the uniform is hardly noticeable. The main cause of the change is the increased cost of living. Tradition and custom require that the officer in uniform shall frequent only the best restaurants, sit in parquet seats in the theater, and in general spend money freely. Few officers possess private means, while the pay of all ranks is small, and the result is that if the officer or soldier is to have any enjoyment or recreation in the capital he can have it only by clothing himself like the ordinary citizen who can suit his expenditure to his means. RECIPES WORTH TRYING APPETIZING DISHES THAT ARE EASY TO MAKE. Leftover Vegetables Can Be Utilized in Russian Salad—Bread Crumbs as Foundation for Orange Pudding—Apricot Brown Betty. Russian Salad.—No "leftover" vegetables need ever be wasted, as those not suited to the soup kettle may be utilized in a Russian salad. Chop and cut the vegetables and mix lightly. Add two or three tablespoonfuls of chopped nuts if you have them, or a few spoonfuls of chopped bacon or minced fish. Serve on lettuce leaves, with French dressing. String beans go well with beets, potatoes, carrots and even turnips. Green peas and cauliflower seem complementary, and a little bit of celery or a few olives go well with everything. Orange Pudding.—This is made with bread crumbs as a foundation. Put a good quarter of a cupful of dried bread crumbs into a dish with two cupfuls of scalded milk, and stand one side to cool. Beat the yolks of two eggs to a foam with half a cupful of sugar, and add to the soaked crumbs together with a tablespoonful of melted butter, the juice of one large orange and half the thin yellow rind grated. Butter a pudding dish, turn in the mixture, place in a dripping pan of boiling water, and bake until firm. Cover with the whites of the eggs beaten to a meringue, with two tablespoonfuls of sugar and a flavoring of orange, brown slightly and serve cold or hot. This may be varied by baking in individual molds or cups like custard. Apricot Brown Betty.—An apricot Brown Betty is one of the delicious plain "stand-by" desserts for this season of between fruits. Canned apricots may be used, but the evaporated are cheaper and hold the natural flavor of the fruit far better. Soak as many as are needed in cold water twelve hours, then simmer gently in the same water until tender, but not broken. Butter a deep pudding dish, and put a layer of the fruit on the bottom. Sprinkle with sugar, then a layer of dried bread crumbs dotted with butter and cinnamon. Proceed in this way until the dish is full, having the buttered crumbs on top. Cover and bake slowly for three-quarters of an hour, then remove the cover and bake. Serve with cream. Chopped almonds and raisins mixed with apricots make a pleasing change on occasions. Here and There. A kitchen bouquet for flavoring soups can easily be made. Take a few sprigs of parsley and wrap them around peppercorns, whole cloves, a bay leaf and other herbs that are at hand. Tie up tightly. This can be removed from the soup without trouble. Some cooks always add a little potato to the mashed turnips, while others dredge in a little flour before seasoning. When the turnips are large they will have a more delicate flavor if the water is changed at least once during the boiling. Do not throw away vinegar in which home-made cucumber pickles have been preserved. Keep it and use it in salad dressing instead of the ordinary vinegar. The odor is delicious. Anise Seed Cookies. Put a large tablespoonful of butter in the mixing bowl with two-thirds of a cupful of sugar and two well-beaten eggs. Add a tablespoonful of anise seed, two cupfuls of flour, sifted, with two or three tablespoonfuls of baking powder and two or three tablespoonfuls of milk. Mix it into a soft dough, turn it out on the floured pastry board and flatten it out with the rolling pin a little thicker than pie crust. Stamp out pieces with a cookie cutter and arrange them on a greased bake pan. Bake them in a moderate oven about seven or eight minutes. Old-Time Ginger Snaps. One cupful of molasses, one-half cupful of butter or lard, one teaspoonful of soda, one teaspoonful of ginger. Boil the molasses five minutes. Remove from the fire and add soda, butter and ginger. When cooled a little, stir in the flour until thick enough to roll, then roll thin as a postage stamp. Cut with a cookie cutter and bake in a hot oven, being careful not to burn. Shut in a tin pail. These will keep for a long time. Stuffed Celery Select tender and fair sized stalks so curved that the stuffing is possible. Add and stir Roquefort cheese to a cream, putting through a ricer, if necessary. Add thick cream until a paste is made. Fill the hollows of the celery and put the mixture in the icebox to chill. Serve with the salad or as salad, with French dressing, when desired. When served as a relish it is served without dressing. Cheese Omelet. Cheese may be introducel into omelets in several ways. An ordinary omelet may be served with thin cheese sauce made in the following proportions: One and one-half tablespoonfuls of flour, one-quarter cupful of grated cheese, one cupful of milk. This sauce may also be added to omelets in which boiled rice, minced meat or some other nutritious material has been included.

ENGRAVERS-PRINTERS ONLINE CUTS TRAVEL DENVER, COLO HOME OF MIXED RACES ALL COLORS OF MANKIND MAKE UP POPULATION OF NEW STATE. "Anyone who has traveled through this desert country, with its red mountains and yellow plains, has been impressed with the violent contrasts in colors of the landscape," says Booker T. Washington, in the Independent, writing of a recent visit to Arizona. "For my part, I was more impressed with the variety and contrasts in the colors of the different elements of the population. I met there not only black men and white men but yellow and red men, with all the varying shades between them. "Phoenix seems to be a sort of melting pot for all the races on the earth. In this southwestern country the tides of immigration from Europe and Asia, from north and south, meet and intermingle. It seemed to me, while I was there, that I met white people and black people from every state in the Union and from some parts of Canada as well. In fact, I am perfectly safe in saying I never had an opportunity before, in so short a space of time, to meet, touch elbows and talk with so many kinds of white people and so many kinds of colored people, as I did in Arizona." All these people seemed to be taking part directly or indirectly, in a three-day celebration of Lincoln's emancipation proclamation and excursion trains were bringing in people from many parts of the new state. Mr. Washington had been invited to deliver an emancipation address. Part of the program of the celebration was a series of three baseball games between a Negro and Mexican team. He witnessed a foot race in which an Indian, a white man and a Mexican participated and a Negro was timekeeper. "Every one in Phoenix, I discovered, has come from somewhere else,—except the Indians," continues Mr. Washington. "The result is, you find people from all parts of the country in the most anexpected places. The little hotel in which I stopped, for example, was conducted by an American white woman from the state of Idaho. When shortly after my arrival, I asked to have some breakfast sent up to my room, I found I was being served by a Chinaman from a Chinese restaurant. "I had heard of Chinese restaurants before, but I confess I was surprised to find that a Chinaman was running a restaurant in such close connection with the hotel in which I was stopping. As a matter of fact, as I was afterwards informed, there are only two restaurants in this city of 20,000 inhabitants which are not in control of Chinese. One of these is conducted by an American white man and the other by an American Negro. "The Chinese have control of nearly all the truck gardens in the suburbs of the city, and wagons driven by Chinese drivers supply the hotels and most of the homes. I confess it looked very strange to me to see a Chinese squatting on the front seat of a vegetable wagon driving a horse. Before I came to Arizona, I had seen pictures of Chinamen drawing two-wheel carts, and I had seen other Chinamen carrying bundles on their heads, but I had never before seen a Chinaman driving a real horse." "Meeting for the first time in a position where one race either is or soon will be, crowding the other in the labor market. I was eager to learn how the two races felt toward one another," he continues. From his inquiries he concluded that the black man and the yellow man were getting along pretty well together. He was much interested in the fact that the "Chinatown" of Phoenix has a mayor caller Mayor Dick who seems really to be the supreme authority. "Whenever a Chinaman is arrested for a small crime of any kind—anything less than a felony, in fact—it has become customary for the police authorities to turn the man and his crime over to Mayor Dick. They have found that they can get substantial justice more surely and more conveniently that way than they could by dragging the culprit into the ordinary police courts and going through the ordinary processes. The reason for this seems to be that the Chinaman has very little undestanding of and apparently very little confidence in the American methods of administering justice. And so the Chinaman in Phoenix even though he is not a citizen, gets in this indirect way a certain amount of self-government. "During the few days that I was in the city, although I was very much hurried. I took occasion to go down to Chinatown and to visit Mayor Dick. He was a little, driedup, yellow man who spoke very broken English. He seemed, however, to have a pretty clear understanding of American customs and manners. When I asked him how he came to be called mayor, he said in quite a matter of fact tone: 'Well, you see I am here thirty year. I know American custom. When Chinaboy get in trouble he come to see me. When policeman get in trouble with Chinaboy, both come to me. I know how to make it all right. So the newspapers say I am mayor of Chinatown. Yes.'" Sometimes people of this country speak of the Negro as alien race, Mr. Washington reflects, and suggests sending him back to Africa, but not one has yet suggested that the Negro, while still living in the midst of the white civilization, was so much of a foreigner that he could not be tried by the same law and in the same courts and according to the same moral and political standards as the white man. The Japanese, another race, are just making their appearanc in Arizona. They, frequently like the Chinese, take up the business of truck gardening, but they seem to find first entrance into American life as house servants, waiters in the hotels and cooks in private families. "The Japanese have not yet made their appearance in large numbers," says the writer, "and perhaps when they do come and begin to take the place of the colored people in the hotels and other places, the Negroes will lose some of the admiration which they conceived for the little yellow peril during the war between Russia and Japan." Meanwhile the Negro is getting into other kinds of labor. Several Negroes own large plantations. One runs a hand laundry, in which he employs Mexican women, who have a great reputation as ironers, to do the work. One is a wholesale fruit merchant; one runs a "post" store near Phoenix; another has a restaurant. Negroes have pretty near a monopoly of the barber business in Phoenix. More important is a general disposition among the leaders of the Negro people to consider seriously the needs of their little community. The Mexicans are the most numerous of the different colored peoples in Arizona, and are performing in this part of the country much the same tasks that the masses of the colored peoples are performing in other parts of the south. As a class they are regarded as unprogressive, unsteady and unthrifty.—Pittsburg Leader. JUDGING BY ELIMINATION A southern darky drifted north and got his first real taste of band music. In Waycross, Ga., he had heard nothing but the wavering efforts of some second horns, so when the Elks' convention brought regular Germans to town he came near passing up his job as saloon porter. He would have willingly joined that parade if the destination had been Cedar Rapids. After a while Sousa's visit was announced and one of the patrons of the place promised to buy him a ticket for the concert. Sam was installed in the balcony and held onto his chair for sheer fear of jumping over the rail when John Philip made his first uppercut. He went back to work the next day in a trance. "Well, how about the concert?" asked the boss. "Tremendjous," said Sam. "Ah's nevah heard nothin' like it. An' it was attended by our ve'y bes' people." "How do you know they were our best people?" "Ah nevah saw none of 'em befo." Odds and Ends Odds and Ends To go in and win is often merely a matter of owning the best engine. When a chap has been shoved along in life, he never looks behind him to nod his thanks. There is a world of difference between a man's rough tenderness and a cruel roughness. To suffuse geniality among one's friends doesn't always consist in passing the bottle around. Human nature ought to be good, it lasts so long. Every individual tries his best; otherwise he gets the worst of it. The man who finds fault at home bows to the ground to some one in the office. Not to care for that which one wants, but to work hard for it is the secret of getting it. To blow a kiss is a miss' way of not missing it. Without flattery some women would go into nunneries. Lent duties are getting nearer the shops and farther from church doors. The girl who prays for a pretty bonnet generally makes a fine dessert for her dad at the same time. Great men have fallen at one word from a mite of a girl. A wasteful life is one that never strained at others' comfort. When a man begins to be familiar is the time to try contempt. The most becoming color a girl wants to wear is a blush color. The time comes for a man who thinks himself unimpressionable, sooner or later. The woman who scorns real love is the kind who dotes on fuzzy dogs. Love filters a great deal of unworthiness. The debonair fellow knows the power of smilingly fabricating. When disability comes, then comes thoughts of a weak man's old friends. It takes a lot of time for a bride to get accustomed to the odor of cigar smoke among her daintily-scented belongings. COLORED EXPOSITION EXCITES INTEREST PROPOSITION TO CELEBRATE 50 YEARS OF INDUSTRIAL PROG- RE88 BRING8 READY 8UP- Atlanta, Ga.—Considerable interest has been manifested over the state in the announcement that a big industrial and agricultural exposition for the colored race will be held in Georgia in 1913, the 50th anniversary of the race's emancipation. Prof. R. R. Wright, for the past 20 years president of the Georgia State Industrial college at Savannah, and one of the prime movers in the project, was in Atlanta Saturday in the interest of the exposition, and he reports that not only the members of his race, but many white people as well have received the news with enthusiasm. A bill introduced by Senator W. O. Bradley of Kentucky has already passed the United States senate by a unanimous vote, appropriating $250,000 for the purpose. It received the support of the southern senators and no opposition is expected in the house. The time is yet early for stating definite plans for the affair, but in general it may be said that the progress of the colored race in the last 50 years in an industrial way will be fittingly depicted in exhibits and displays. The negroes have for the past six years held successful fairs at Macon, and the leaders of the race are awaiting an opportunity to undertake something on a larger scale. The following statement issued by Comptroller General William A. Wright shows some interesting facts concerning the colored race in Georgia: "It is shown from compilations just completed that Georgia negroes returned to taxation in 1911, a total of $34,022,379, as compared with $23,224,037 in 1910, an increase of $1,788,342. There are 119,871 negroes who paid poll taxes last year, while 4,685 defaulted. Among the property-owning negroes are seven lawyers, 16 dentists and 133 doctors who pay $10 professional tax to the state. Negroes own 1,639,919 acres of improved farm lands in Georgia, which is assessed at $10,358,653. Their city and town property is taxed at $9,615,604; their money and solvent debts $237,214; their household and kitchen furniture $3,249,203; watches, silver plate and jewelry, $41,970; horses, mules, hogs, sheep and cattle, $7,931,264; farm and mechanical tools, $1,648,897; stocks and bonds, $1,700. "It is indicated by these figures that the negro constitutes a large percentage of the farming class of the state; in fact, much larger than the figures would convey. For these figures relate to cases where the negroes actually own the property, whereas in most cases they work as croppers or renters on land owned by whites." EFFORT TO DEVELOP WHITE PU- GILIST TO CONTEST WITH JACK JOHNSON AN AWFUL JOLT—BIGGEST IN ON A FAIL- URE. Exit Carl Morris from among the list of white heavyweights who are out to get a bout with Champion Jack Johnson. Morris has now been fight- ing for almost two years and has yet to show that he has the making of a first-class heavyweight. His defeat by Jim Stewart puts him in the down and out class. The Oklahoma boxer's only asset in his ability to assimilate punishment. For a man of his bulk, Morris is a wretched puncher. He usually depends upon sheer strength to wear down an opponent. New York boxing enthusiasts are hailing Stewart as a regular "hope," but it should not be so, as his victory over Morris was not a wonderful feat. PROPORTION OF COLORED ILLITERATES FOR COUNTRY OVER NOW 30%—WAS 44% 10 YEARS AGO—FOREIGN BORN 12.8%—NATIVE WHITES 3%. Washington.—A preliminary census statement issued by Director Durand shows that in 1910 there were 5,517,608 illiterates among the 71,580,270 persons 10 years of age or over in the United States. This was a reduction of from 10.7 per cent. to 7.7 per cent., since 1900. The native-born whites, constituting 75 per cent. of the entire population, had only 3 per cent. of illiterates; foreign-born whites had 12.8 per cent. and colored persons 30.5 per cent. The percentage of illiterates among native-born whites 10 years ago was 4.6; the colored percentage was 44.5 and that of the foreign-born whites was 12.9, or a slight increase over the percentage of 1910.

TRAGIC DEATH OF JAMES M. HAZELWOOD The element of tragedy loomed large in the sudden termination of the life of James M. Hazelwood, which occurred at his residence on Lewis street, Charleston, W. Va., Sunday night about eleven o'clock, resulting from a fall down stairs by which his neck was broken and skull fractured. The accident occurred as he turned from the telephone on the stairlanding to greet a visiting neighbor. He stepped back to allow her to pass, lost his balanse and fell to the stair-foot against a closed door with the result mentioned. Considerable effort was required of Mrs. W. O. Terry and Mrs. Allen DeHonney the only persons present at the time, to get him from the narrow stairs in which he was tightly wedged. A physician was called, but before he arrived life was extinct. The news spread quickly through the city and caeated the greatest excitement and most profound sorrow. Mr. Hazlewood had been in poor health since June last, but with the approach of spring he seemed to gain in strength and become more confident of ultimate recovery. The fates ruled otherwise and he now sleeps in Spring Hill cenetary in the shadow or the obelisk which marks the last resting place of his most intimate friend and business association, S. W. Starks — Charleston Advocate. NOTICE OF STOCKHOLDERS' MEETING. Denver, Colo., April 20, 1912.

PLANS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED WHEREBY 125,000 ACRES WILL BE FURNISHED WATER. $1,200,000 PLEDGED THE WORK WILL BE COMMENCED WITHIN NEXT FEW WEEKS; WORK FOR MANY MEN. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver.—Definite plans for the completion of the Greeley-Poudre Irrigation project that will reclaim 125,000 acres of land were arranged at a meeting held here. D. A. Camfield, president of the company, has reached his home in Greeley from the East. It is announced that he raised the $1,200,000 necessary to finish the project. The meeting was attended by representatives of the Greeley-Poudre company and of the various financial interests which will be identified with the project. The project is one of the most extensive ever undertaken in Colorado and by far the most extensive in the northern section of the state. It will transform what is now a desert into an acreage similar to the balance of the irrigated district of northern Colorado, which ranks as the richest in the world. The project was first started three years ago, but legal and financial difficulties have prevented its consummation. It is said all the money necessary has been guaranteed and that work will begin within the next few weeks. Aside from furnishing work for many men, it will add to the wealth of the state, it is estimated, several millions of dollars a year. Large Beet Acreage Contracted. Grand Junction, Colo.—A total of 10, 300 acres have now been signed up by the Western Sugar and Land Company. Manager Fred C. Holmes has been temporarily compelled to cease operations because of a shortage in his seed supply. He had been anticipating about 8,000 acres, and consequently the seed supply gave out. The acreage is 2,400 more than ever before in the history of the factory. Efforts are being made to secure more seed. If this can be done, the acreage will be increased. The local factory grinds beets from all over the Western slope and also for a short distance into Utah. The acreage signed up means an added distribution of nearly $1,000,000 by the factory. Anti-Alien Bill Favored. Phoenix, Ariz.—After long debate the State Senate, in committee of the whole, recommended for passage the Kinney anti-alien labor bill, considered the most radical measure introduced in the Legislature. The vote was 13 to 6. The bill provides that men employed in mines and on railways must speak and read the English language. It was strongly opposed by mining companies employing foreign labor. Lynchers Are Indicted. Fort Smith, Ark.—The grand jury which has been investigating the lynching of Sanford Lewis, a negro, the night of March 23d, has returned indictments against twenty-three persons and scored city authorities for alleged inefficiency in failing to disperse the mob which broke into the jail, dragged Lewis forth and hanged him on a main street. Archbald Charged with Graft. Washington. — Charges against Judge Robert W. Archbald of the Commerce Court were unfolded before the House committee on judiciary, which is to determine if impeachent proceedings shall be brought against the jurist. How Judge Archbald, in partnership with Edward J. Williams, a Scranton coal dealer, while deliberating as a judge on the "lighterage cases" to which the Erie railroad was a party, is alleged to have negotiated an option from that railroad for 42,000 tons of culm property to be sold at $12,000 profit, was related to the committee by Williams himself. British Ship Goes to Mexico. Victoria, B. C.—The British sloop of war Algerine left Esquimale for Mexico to succor any subjects of King George among the refugees from the insurrectionary districts.
