Colorado Statesman

Vote the Republican Ticket Straight May 21st THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY VOL. XVIII. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MAY 18 1912. NO 36 Shall Republi-cans Help the Democrats? Always fighting among themselves when their common enemy is not in sight, Democrats are always united when the enemy is to be opposed. Within two months the Presidential campaign will be in full swing. All the candidates for the Presidency and vice presidency will have been named. The different political parties will be lined up behind their respective leaders. In the different states they will be preparing to nominate state tickets and to put the campaign locally into operation. In the Democratic party in Colorado there will not be the faintest trace of faction. Speer and Patterson will be working together in perfect harmony. One great object will be before their eyes. Everything else will be forgotten. Their sole purpose will be to give Colorado over completely to the Democratic party—to elect six Democratic Presidential electors, to elect four Democratic representatives to Congress, to elect the entire Democratic state ticket, and to elect a Democratic Legislature, in order that later two Democrats may be sent to the United States Senate. To crush the Republican party will be their great hope. To attain that end, every means will be employed. A common cause, a single purpose, a united effort will account for everything they do. The two shrewdest, most far-seeing political managers in the Democratic party are Patterson and Speer. They are rivals within their party but never against it. Hating Speer within the party, although ready to co-operate with him against the Republicans, Patterson joined the Citizens' party movement. It gave him a chance to down Speer as a Democratic leader without hurting the Democratic party. The day for the big battle had not arrived. Posing as a reformer he denounced both Speer and the Republican party. Lacking enough Democriteic support to accomplish anything he appealed to Republicans. He did this by proclaiming his intention to deliver the city into the hands of the people. But he never once hinted that the only way for Republicans to rule is through their party. He never uttered a word to remind Republicans that by dividing their party he was helping the Democrats. He had no sympathy with any of the reform aims of the Republicans. His purposes were wholly selfish. He knew that he would do the Democratic party no harm; and he knew that he was inflicting upon the Republican party great injury. Both Patterson and Speer know that two things are necessary to Democriteic success in the state. One is to hold the Democriteic organization together. The other is to divide the Republican forces. Speer held the Democriteic organization in this city intact; and whatever Patterson's ulterior motives may be, the effect of his movement is to divide the Republicans. The conflict between the two leaders in this preliminary stage will not affect their relations to each other after the Presidential campaign is begun. They will work together then with the utmost good will. Speer will recognize no less than Patterson if the results of the city campaign show the Republican party crippled by division in its ranks and in no condition to enter the fight. Hunter is a Democrat, representing Speer. Arnold is a Democrat, representing Patterson. So, whichever is elected, the Democrats will win, and the Republicans lose. As for Speer and Patterson, they may quarrel over the spoils of the victory they are looking forward to next fall, but they recognize that they do not have to cross that bridge until they come to it. They must first defeat the Republicans. Toward that end both are looking and both are working. In different camps to-day, they will unite their forces after the frist of June. In the event of Arnold's election the Democratic machine will be as much in control of the City Hall as it is to-day. For a time Patterson as against Speer may seem to be in the ascendancy. Although there is no assurance that it will continue so, since Speer may seduce Arnold away from Patterson, it will really make little difference so far as the final result is concerned. Whether controlled directly by Patterson or directly by Speer, the City Hall machine will be Democratic. It will be used to help the Democratic party. It will be employed in every possible way against the Republicans. Every Republican ought to see that the election of Arnold would be a political crime, a monstrous blunder. It will be a lasting injury to Denver if the Arnold ticket is elected. But that is not the whole of it. Arnold's election will mean the reestablishment of a Democratic machine in the City Hall. It may also mean that Colorado will give its electoral votes to the Democratic candidate for the Presidency, that it will send four Democratic representatives to Congress, elect two Democrats to the United States Senate, and elect the entire Democratic state ticket next fall. Do not think that Arnold will do anything to prevent the machine from being used in that way. He is a Democrat himself, and in any case he will be a mere State Hist & Nut Hist Books State Houses Republican Ticket Strain DADO STA THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY. MAY 18 1912 puppet in the hands of Speer and Patterson. When did Patterson do anything to help the Republican party? He has not always been a consistent Democrat. He was at one time a Populist. But he has never been a Republican. Why should any Republican listen to him? He denounces the local public service corporations and urges Republicans to desert their party to get rid of them. But when the corporations wanted him and were willing to pay the price, when did they ever fail to get him? The question whether the Democrats shall succeed in elections next fall is of vital importance to the industrial and commercial interests of this state. Colorado needs the protective tariff for its lead mining, its zinc mining and in the production of tungsten. It needs it for the protection of the wool industry. It especially needs it in order that the beet sugar industry may continue to prosper. The farmers say that at the present rate they do not get enough per ton for their beets. Take away the sugar tariff and they would get nothing at all. The sugar factories would be closed. No more sugar beets would be grown on Colorado farms. Land values in sections where sugar beets are now grown would fall. Lot values in Denver would fall. The bright prospect of business activity would be blasted. Colorado was prostrated in its silver mining by adverse legislation in Washington. Shall it be prostrated in its agriculture as well? What are Republicans thinking about, that they should entertain a thought of following the lead of their arch enemy, Senator Patterson? Let them not fancy that they can make all things right again by returning to the Republican ranks next fall. They should consider that by electing Arnold they will strengthen Speer and Patterson by providing them with a City Hall machine for use later on. In this movement of Republicans to the support of Patterson and Arnold there is no heart-disloyalty to Republican principles, except, may be, on the part of a few. A vast majority of them have no desire to help the Democrats. They are not indifferent; they are simply blind to the consequences of what they are doing. They ought to wake up to the facts of the situation. They ought to see that they are helping to deliver a citadel into the hands of the enemy. There is time for them to consider what they are about to do. There is time still for them to disappoint Patterson in his hope of victory.—Denver Republican. Mary E. MISS GRACE ELLEN SHOE, CANDIDATE FOR RECORDER ON REPUBLICAN TICKET. Miss Grace Ellen Shoe, nominee of the party for recorder, is well known in every part of Colorado. As president of the Colorado Teachers' association, an organization with some 3,500 members, and in various other positions which she has held in the state, she has shown a wonderful executive ability. She is the only woman who has held the position of president of the teachers' association since Colorado was admitted to the Union in 1876. In every position she has received unlimited praise for her tact, executive ability and strict attention to details. Miss Shoe is a graduate of Antioch college, and has taken graduate NO 36 work at both the University of Chicago and Denver university. For ten years she has been instructor of mathematics at the North Denver high school. She did not seek the nomination, but consented to have her name placed before the convention at the request of the women of the Republican party. Many of our Colored citizens attended school with Miss Shoe, and recognize in her the embodiment of all that is just and fair. Her election means a return of our representation in the office of recorder. We should all lend special effort to see that this competent and well deserved woman is amongst the winning returns of May 22nd. THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN ALBION K. VICKERY, REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR AUDITOR. GOOD MEN AND TRUE. There is sincere satisfaction in the support of men for public office whose example has already met and justified the claims of a constituency so peculiarly needful and deserving as are the colored people. An unquestioned disposition to deal fairly with them, as with all other elements in the Republican party, and a practical demonstration of good faith in the maintenance of proper representation in his official force have given this valuable distinction to Albion K. Vickery, the Republican candidate for city auditor, who is at the present time city auditor. It would be difficult to shake the confidence of the people in a man of his character, for his own good judgment, and not the importuning of somebody else, is responsible for his equitable course in politics. While the whole Republican ticket is well balanced and represents untainted Republicanism of the first water, some particular candidate or candidates must carry the palm for popularity on account of being better known than others, or for personal characteristics which seem to make them the special objects of the people's enthusiasm. Mr. Vickery is popular in just that way and his popularity extends all along the line and among all elements of the party. His place upon the ticket is a strong second to that of Mr. Dewey C. Bailey, our candidate for mayor, who, though he has never held an office which carried with it the requirement for a large distribution of patronage, possesses all those natural qualities which arouse popular enthusiasm and create that splendid confidence which presages viety. The colored voter though a "natural born" Republican has grown to be a discriminating campaigner, and his unreserved endorsement of a candidate for office is pretty strong evidence of that candidates "yard wide" measurement in the loom of Republican politics. With candidates for the legislative branches of the city government none the less deserving, the Republican party has placed a model ticket before the people. Colored voters should feel an especial interest in the success of this ticket. It will mean a return to conditions whose general benefits to colored people have not been known in this city since Democracy crept into power. 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. Clarence M. Darrow, the Chicago lawyer, will be placed on trial in Los Angeles for alleged jury-tampering. One man was mortally injured and three others seriously hurt in a revolver fight participated in by 900 miners at Bend, Ill. Totals footed now show $2,200 pledged for the expenses of Pacific coast athletes sent to the Olympic games at Stockholm. Sixty remaining indictments and one criminal information still pending against Abraham Ruef, in San Francisco, will be dismissed. The Colorado Fuel and Iron Company is defendant in a suit filed by the government in the United States Court in Denver for 5,000 acres of coal land valued at $1,000,000. With delegates already chosen from twenty-one of the thirty-two counties in Montana to the Republican state convention at Livingston, the proportion of Taft to Roosevelt men is 2 to 1. Driven to desperation by hunger and inability to obtain employment, William Daaf, who lives with his wife and five children in a basement in Chicago, has given away one of his children and offers to sell two others that they may find homes and food. The heaviest rain in months fell at New Orleans, accompanied by hail and high wind. One-half inch of water fell within five minutes, while the wind reached a velocity of thirty miles an hour. Every street in the business section of the city was flooded. Ray Wheeler, amateur aviator, is dead, and Pete Glasser, a champion, probably fatally injured, as a result of a plunge into a telegraph pole at Kenloch park, St. Louis. The accident occurred when the aeroplane was caught in a whirlwind 100 feet above the earth. With more than one-third of all the votes in the presidential preference primaries in California counted, Colonel Theodore Roosevelt has a large majority over Taft and La Follette combined. The same districts give Clark two and one-half to one over Wilson. Paragraph 260 of the discipline of the Methodist Episcopal church still is undecided, and whether dancing, card playing and kindred amusements are to be left only to the "conscience" of the members of the church remains a bone of contention in the committee on the state of the church. Western rail roads, convinced through reports of their representatives throughout the Western territory that business will be better this year than it has since early in 1907, have been placing heavy rush orders for equipment in the past few weeks, in preparation for handling unusually large freight tonnage this fall. The Harriman lines placed an order for sixty-three locomotives two weeks ago. Announcement has just been made in New York that they have ordered 115 additional locomotives, making the total order 178. The order calls for delivery at the earliest possible date. Harriman officials say that the outlook for business throughout the territory which the system serves is unusually bright. Harriman lines also have orders for about 9,000 new freight cars. WASHINGTON. There will be no recess of Congress, except it may be for a week when the national conventions are in session; and Congress cannot possibly adjourn before the middle of September. After a bitter fight the House in committee of the whole overruled its committee and restored to the legislative appropriation bill the regular appropriations to continue operating the various assay offices and continuing colage operations at the San Francisco mint. This change involves a decrease from the amount recommended for the Denver mint to the usual yearly appropriation. President Taft sent a special message to Congress asking for legislation to authorize him to appoint a commission to investigate the patent laws and report what changes were necessary to make them fit modern conditions. Uncle Sam is gradually adding the motorcycle-to all governmental departments. The latest recruit is in the War Department. Color Sergeant Von Lang of the 19th Cavalry, at Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia, has a motorcycle and is riding rings around his brother officers on the field. Representative Burton of Ohio proposes to fix the status of the water power sites on public domains and in various forest reserves, national parks and monuments by placing them at the disposal of concerns which will pay the government a reasonable leasing fee. FOREIGN. It is reported that Gen. Orozco, Mexican rebel leader, has been mortally wounded. Sam Langford, the heavyweight negro boxer of Boston, defeated Jim Barry, the Chicago heavyweight, in Melbourne, Australia. Barry was completely outclassed and the referee stopped the fight in the eleventh round. Victor Louis Mason, an American, identified with extensive mining interests, and at one time private secretary to Gen. A. R. Alger, American secretary of war, was killed while making a flight at Brooklands, England, with the English aviator. E. V. Fisher. Fisher was also killed. Conceding his defeat in the initial battle before Conejos, Mexico, Gen. Pascual Orozco is by no means dispirited. "The revolution has just begun," he said, "and we are confident that we will ultimately overthrow Madero, for a just revolution will always triumph. Lack of food and water for our men and horses, as well as the better artillery of the federals, caused our defcat. We had insecure positions and retreated for strategic reasons. Our losses were light. King Frederick VIII. of Denmark died at Hamburg, Germany, recently. He arrived with his retinue seemingly in the best of health. Christian Frederick was proclaimed king of Denmark as Frederick VIII., on January 30, 1906, after the death of Christian IX., the aged king who was dean of the crowned heads of Europe, father of King George of Greece, of the Queen Mother Alexandra of Great Britian, the empress dowager of Russia and grandfather of King Haakon VII of Norway. SPORT. Johnny Kilbane of Cleveland, featherweight champion, outfought Frankie Burns of Jersey City in a fast ten round bout in New York. Jack White, the Chicago featherweight, was an easy victor over Frankie Conley of Kenosha, Wis., at the Vernon arena, Los Angeles. Eddie Johnson of Pueblo and Phil Knight of Kansas City have been matched for a ten-round fight before the Pueblo Athletic Club, May 20. Paul Koehler of Cleveland was given a decision over Clarence (Wildcat) Ferns of Kansas City after ten rounds of furious fighting before the Grand Avenue Athletic Club, Kansas City. Ad Wolgast, lightweight champion, left San Francisco for St. Joseph, Mo., bearing two black eyes, three stitches in his upper lip and an aching back as the result of his four-round bout with Willie Ritchie. Promoters Charles O'Malley and Jack Curley of the Jim Flynn-Jack Johnson contest July 4, have announced that the contract has been awarded for building the arena in Las Vegas. N. M. Seating capacity will be 17,150. GENERAL. Three persons are dead, scores injured and property damaged $75,000 bya tornado at Talladega, Ala. Union men of Kansas City have been asked not to drink the beer of breweries now involved in a strike. The recall, initiative and referendum have been written into the Duluth, Minn., charter by an overwhelming vote. The government has begun taking testimony in its suit in New York for dissolution of the American Sugar Refining Company. A severe rain and wind storm which swept over Chicago recently caused the deaths of two men and the injury of several others. It is estimated that when the excavation of the Panama canal is completed nearly 55,000,000 pounds of dynamite will have been used. The steel mills at Gary, Ind., were temporarily stopped recently by thousands of tiny fish that clogged the intake pipes for the mills. As a result of a battle which took place on the streets of Jellico, Ky., in which twenty-five men were involved, two people are dead and several are injured. Wireless messages from the steamer Montgomery, which was dispatched recently to search the sea for victims of the Titanic, reports the recovery of four bodies. With 250 delegates, the Socialist National convention was organized in Indianapolis. The convention will formulate its platform and will nominate candidates for President and vice president of the United States. Betting on horse racing in Chicago is at a standstill because of a raid on the main gambling information bureau in a North Side hotel after its location had been discovered by members of Assistant Chief Schuettler's "wire tapping gang." Detectives, by climbing telephone posts and tapping the wires, got a description of the rooms as it went over the lines to agents and a bombardment with axes, sledges and crow bars followed. A federation of the peace societies of the United States, under the name National Council of Peace and Arbitration, was effected in conference in Washington of representatives of the principal peace societies of the country. Two masked men held up the New Orleans and Northeastern limited train No. 2 eight miles north of Hattiesburg, Miss., shortly after midnight, dynamited the safe in the express car and got away with a package containing $140,000. The bandits leaped on horses and fled into the darkness. Western Newspaper Union News Service. COMING EVENTS IN COLORADO.

Phillips, the streets which were recently sprinkled with diluted beet syrup, stood the test of the recent hard rain, and it is certain that moisture will not injure the syruped streets. Arkansas Valley Fights Frost Pueblo.-Grave apprehension is felt by fruit growers through the Arkansas valley over the safety of the fruit crop. Smudge pots have been brought out and plans are laid to make every effort to protect the fruit in the event of frost. Lamar's Prospects Are Good. Lamar.—A big rain has fallen here. The bulk of the beet acreage will be planted immediately under the most favorable conditions in recent years. Contracts for first cutting of alfalfa are now being offered at the highest price on record. Rocky Ford Team Successful. Rocky Ford.—The season of school sports and other contests is at a close. In the three track meets held this season, including the state meet at Colorado Springs, the track team of the local school has come out victorious in every instance. Building Brisk at Meeker. Meeker.—This season, in addition to the brick and stone buildings to go up in the business part of Meeker, the town and the adjacent country expect to use more than 2,000,000 feet of lumber for building this year, half of which at least will be native lumber grown and dressed here. 50,000 Acres Are Bonded. Greeley.-After negotiating for several days, directors of the Northern Colorado Irrigation district and members of the Weld County Reservoir and Ditch Company signed a contract bonding approximately 50,000 acres of land for $2,400,000, and June 18 freeholders will vote upon it. The money will be utilized in the construction of the system. Nelson Wants $2,500; Too Much. Pueblo.-Local fight promoters have received word that it will require $2,500 to match a bout between Battling Nelson, former lightweight champion, and Eddie Johnson of Pueblo or Phil Knight of Kansas City in this city July 4. Local promoters consider this amount too much and will make an effort to stage the event at more reasonable terms. State to Get $36,000. Denver.—The state will receive $36,000 from the Walter S. Cheesman estate on an appraisal which has been filed in the County Court. The estate is appraised at $1,489,886.16 by Frederick J. Chamberlain, which is a half million more than the sum fixed by Appraiser Moses Hallet a few months after Cheesman's death in 1907. San Luis Valley Beet Sugar. San Luis—The first annual report of the San Luis Valley Beet Sugar Company, submitted to the stockholders at their annual meeting in Denver recently, shows that the company in the initial year of its operation earned four per cent net on its capital of $1,500,000. This showing exceeded the most sanguine expectations of the directors, and was pronounced by President W. J. Galligan to be most creditable in view of the fact that it was the first year in a new territory and but a small acreage was planted Cowboys Would Lynch Thieves. Fruita.—Only the coolness of Sheriff Schrader and his deputies prevented the lynching of Jack Murphy and James Bailey, alleged horse thieves, by a mob of enraged cowboys and stockmen. The two men, who claim they live in Denver, stole two fine driving horses near this place, it is claimed. They walked to Loma, where they are said to have taken two saddles. From there they rode to the desert, supposedly to escape into the foot hills and reach Utah. The horses, although they had several hours start of the posse, were unable to keep pace with the hardy cow ponies and the men were captured. Fruit Crop Not Injured. Grand Junction.—The $11,000,000 fruit crop of western Colorado suffered no damage from the recent low temperature. Investigation in the Grand valley shows that not a single bud or blossom was harmed. Weather bureau officials declare that the bumper crop will in all probability ripen and be harvested next fall without injury. Montrose, Delta, Paonia, Hotchkiss and Palisade report the temperature near the danger point. LITTLE COLORADO ITEMS. Small Happenings Occurring Over the State Worth While.

Construction work on the new St. John's German Lutheran church, being built in Denver at a cost of $30,000, is progressing rapidly. During the recent storm, snow to the depth of ten inches fell in most parts of the state. No freezing temperature has been reported. Chris Jacobson, forty-one, a coal miner, was instantly killed in the Monarch mine near Louisville, when a loaded car ran over his body. Work has been begun on the Maroon creek bridge, at Aspen, which the state has voted $10,000 to help build. Much will be done by citizens free to the county. Denver fight fans may soon have an opportunity of seeing Rudie Unholz, the "come back" Boer, and Mike Malone, the Denver fighter, in a ten-round bout. Kersey is after the $750 silver cup and the $100 in gold offered by the Great Western Sugar Company for the best grown beets in Colorado and seven other Western states.

You have no idea what a disgraceful sight it 1s to see the littlc ones loafing about in the alleys, etc. in perfect idleness when you could, by a little forethought, have them engaged in something more profitable than pilfer- ing around picking up bottles and other trash. If you continue to let them spend their young days in this manner, how do you expect them to spend their older days? Teach them, parents, to be honest, mannerable and industrious, s0 when they shall have grown to maturity they will be of some service to the race. The race, of course, will be made up of our young boys and girls, and they should be such that will ex- cel the ones that are bearing the bur- den now. But if some of us don’t call a halt to our children they will never be any service to the race whatever. Parents, wake up to your duty, and call your little ones from ruin and see that they are made to do service while they are young, thereby preparing them to do greater service when they are old. Remember that the older of us will pass out some day and we want our boys and girls to step in our shoes and push the battle to the gate in one triumphant band.—Palestine Plain- dealer. The New York Age sounds a timely warning to Negroes In the south when it says: ‘The southern labor situation has been greatly affected by the influx of foreigners into the mining and manu- facturing centers, and it will become more so during the next ten years. The Negro is facing a competitor in all branches of work he never had to face before, and he has got to fight for his job, which is his bread, which is his life against a horde of hungry people who are willing to black shoes if they can’t run factories, stores and banks, to feed hunger. Let us bend every energy therefore to making in- dependent business of our own; let us dot the south with communities like Mound Bayou, where we own and boss everything, from a shoe string to a bank. Get busy and make yourselves efficient in every line of activity. The French Chamber of Deputies had two Negro members representing constituencies in French West India possessions. One of these, Monsieur Legitimus, is a full-blooded black.

Commenting on this, State Press, in the Dallas News, says: “There are many things that speak well for the negro population in Texas and elsewhere. Considering their number and their inherent limitations the negroes are remarkably free from crime. Many—far too many—of them are lazy and {mproyident and unmoral, but they are not Camorrists, or an- archists or incendiaries. Liquor and drugs are their worst enemies. The widely advertised race problem stead- dly refuses to become acute and the oft-predicted “irrepressible contiict” seems no nearer than it was thirty years ago. The way to settle the race issue and to reduce the “conflict to an at- tenuated improbability is to forget about them and refuse to listen to the professional alarmist who insist upon having periodical spasms in public.”— Colored Man's Friend. gt uy cP sa Tee atone eae a ng ‘The Cuban senate has under advise- ment a bill to prohibit American ne- groes from immigrating to that coun- try. That the bill reflects the general sentiment of the country is seen in the fact that even black Cubans will not learn English for fear they will be mistaken for American negroes. ‘The greatest resemblance they now bear to the latter is their habit of gathering in groups and of “argufy- Ing” the Scriptures, or some other sub- ject of equally doubtful utility! Some months ago Canada made an effort to keep out American negroes. Some twelve months ago, a Rey. Gor- don of California started a “back to Africa” movement. The people made up several hun- dred dollars to enable him to go and spy out the land. He went, he saw, he returned and now says America 1s good enough for him. Wherefore, judging from the signs everywhere, it would seem there is but one thing for the negro to do, and that it to let his bucket down where he 1s, and {f there is no water, dig deeper, and if the bucket leaks, caulk the bucket. In other words, no other country seems to want him, and it looks as if he will have to stay here until he takes his departure for heaven. In the death of the Hon. Jacob W. Mack the race has lost one of Its best and truest friends. As a member of the industrial committee on the {m- provement of the,negro, he did most helpful work in opening up opportunt- ties for the employment of members of the race, and {t was only recently that he had gone to the Interborough company to try to persuade them to employ colored motormen on the sub- way and surface cars. He will be genuinely missed by his associates and {t will be no easy matter fo fill his place in the various organizations of which he was a member. Arizona is sald to be the meeting place of a greater variety of race types than is any other place in this country. Indians, Chinese, negroes, Mexicans, Japanese, and others, all pursue the even tenor of their way in perfect good humor and without fric- tion—every one has an equal break with every ono else. THE NEGRO CONGRESS HAS BRIGHT OUTLOOK—THIS, THE SEVENTH ANNUAL SES- SION, IS LOOKING FOR- WARD TO GREAT THINGS. Nashville, Tenn.+#8his was the busiest week ever s@8-at the Sunday School congress hedgifuarters in this city, since it was announced that the seventh annual session of the con- gress would be held in Tuskegee. This state of affairs was brought about on account of the announcement that the S, B. P. A, with headquarters at At- lanta, Ga., announced through thelr chairman, Mr. Jos. Richerson, that the association had granted excursion fares to Tuskegee, Ala., on account of the Sunday school congress. All con- gress workers residing in the city have expressed themselves as highly pleased with the showing that the workers would make with this encour- agement from the railroads. ‘The secretary when seen stated that the rate was made one far rate plus the cost of the tariff and that the special rate guaranteed a large at- tendance, When asked what he meant by the S. E. P. A., he stated that it was that portion of the United States lying east of the Mississippi and south of the Ohio and Potomac. The gate- way to this association, says the secre- tary, are New Orleans and Baton Rouge, La.; Natcheg, Vicksburg and Greenville, Miss.; Memphis, Tenn.; Cairo, Ill; St, Louts, Mo.; Evansyille, Ind.; Loulsville, Ky.; Cincinnatt, O., and Washington, D. C. It is learned further that these tick- sts to Tuskegee will be sold on ac- sount of the congress, Monday, Tues- jay, Wednesday, being June 3, 4 and 3. These tickets will be good for ten jays, or till midnight June 13. Nashville is rejoicing over the fact that It 1s to be stop-over point to those jelegates living in the north and east who will pass through Nashville en route to Tuskegee. his tariff pro- rides for two days’ stop-over, on the return trip. The Tuskegee people, according to the secretary, have already perfected 1 local organization which has for-its ulm to make the stay of the messen- yers and attendants at the congress doth profitable and pleasing. All per- sons thinking of attending the con- gress should write Dr. Booker . Washington, Tuskegee Institute, Ala- yama, notifying him of your intention or sending your name and address to Allen Boyd, Nashville, Tenn., secre- ‘ary of this movement, Fifteen schools are expected to be represented at the songress this year. WORK AMONG THE NEGROES Mr. W. N. Hartshorn, president In- ternational Sunday School asscciation and chairman of the committee on work among the negroes, called a meeting of his committee and south- ern secretaries while in New Orleans. Those present were W. N. Hartshorn, chairman; R. M. Weaver, Dr. Homer C. Lyman, Geo. W. Penniman, Arthur T. Arnold, Thos. V. Elizey, H. A. ‘Dowling, D. W. Sims, Ezra J. Morgan, J. Van Porter, Miss Grace Vandiver and W. Fred Long. Dr. Lyman made a glowing report of his work through the colleges where he has been at work, reporting teacher training and Bible study classes. Mississippi having placed a negro in the field last August, the secretary, W. Fred Long, made a, report producing the programs showing work accom- plished and made a plea for help for all southern states. Brother Weaver made a like plea. Mr, Hartshorn then appointed the following committee: A. T. Arnold, W. Fred Long and D. W. Sims, to make a recommendation. To this committee were added Dr. H. C. Lyman, G. W. Penniman. This committee met in room F, Grunawald hotel, Feb. 8th, and brought in a recommendation that an amount not to exceed three hundred dollars be ap- propriated to each southern state to employ a negro secretary to work among his race. Mr. Hartshorn, who is really the donor of this money and the pioneer leader along this home missionary effort, embraced this reso- lution in his report, making a speech, as did our own Mr. Weaver, and the international executive committee adopted the recommendations. We trust all southern states will avail themselves of this opportunity to help those that need {t—Exchange. ANOTHER BOSTON NEGRO MADE U. 8. ATTORNEY. Boston.—William C. Matthews, a ne- gro lawyer, was sworn in as special assistant United States attorney at Boston. Matthews {s a former Har- vard baseball and football player. He 1s the second negro to be appointed to the assistant district attorneyship within the past half dozen years, Wil- liam H. Lewis, an old Harvard foot- ball man, having been given a sim- ilar appointment by President Roose- velt, ONE FOR EACH FACE. A western politician had quite a reputation in his own town for suc: cessful duplicity. It was generally be- leyed that his idea of party principles was to work and vote with the win- ning side. He once entered the store of a druggist who happened, at the time, to be opposed to him politically. “{ want a Jar of face cream,” he said. “Be sanitary, Tom,” replied the druggist. “Get two jars.”—Success Magazine. RACE DISCRIMINATION RAMPANT IN THE CANAL ZONE Dr. R.H, Boyd Tells of Outrages by Officials in Panama, TO Ree cA aneR ee DENT oer FORT WILL BE MADE TO STOP DISCRIMINATIONS MADE BY EMPLOYES OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT. Nashville, Tenn.—Dr. R. H. Boyd, secretary and treasurer of the Na- tional Baptist Publication board, and one of the important officers of the National Baptist convention, has just returned to Nashville from a trip to Panama. He makes some startling ‘statements with reference to race dis- crimination by the United States gov- ‘ernment in the Canal Zone and says ‘he is prepared to make affidavit, if necessary, to every charge made in the articles he has been publishing in the Union Review and the Nashville Globe, as to these racial discrimina- tions. In a discussion with The Age cor- respondent Dr, Boyd said: “There 1s no place in Mississippi, Louisiana or South Carolina where dis- crimination by state, county or ind!vid- uals is as closely drawn as it 1s by the United States authorities on the Canal Zone. Railroad stations, saloons, banks, United States commissaries, and even the United States post office have ra- cial discriminations that are strictly enforced. This is not true, however, in the republic of Panama. "It 1s only in the territory over which the Urited States has jurisdiction. The lines are even drawn in churches and Sunday schools, which are all presided over by white men. “I am rot only willing to make aff davit to every fact I have stated with reference to conditions on the Canal Zone, but I should be glad to give the names of several of the leading persons there who will verify all that I say.” Dr. Boyd is a man of excellent stand. ing among the negroes of the United States, and none who know him believe he would make such serious charges of discrimination if they were not wholly true. The drawing of the color line in Panama by officials employed by the government of the United States will be put before President Taft and the administration, and every effort win be made to have such outrageous prac tices stopped at once. IGNORANGE AT HOME Washington, D, C—In 1910 there were 71,580,270 persons ten years of age or over in the United States, of whom 5,517,608 were unable to read or write, constituting 7.7 per cent of the population, The native whites, who constituted nearly 75 per cent. of the entire op- ulation, had the smallest number of illiterates. ‘The foreign born whites had 1,650,- 519 ilterates, or 12.8 per cent. of their number. ‘The colored had 2,331,559 illiterates, or 30.4 of their number. Comparing 1900 with 1910, there was a gain of 13,640,456 in the population of ten years of age and over, but the number of iliterates fell off 663,461. ‘There was consequently a decline in the percentage of illiteracy from 10.7 to 7.7 per cent. for the aggregate population. Among native whites the number of illiterates diminished 373,081, and as the population increased the per- centage fell from 4.6 per cent. in 1900 to 3 per cent. in 1910, Among the colored there was a de- crease from 647,864 illiterates and a diminution of the percentage of illit- eracy from 44.0 per cent. to 30.5 per cent. Among the foreign whites there was the slight increase of 363,384 in the number of illiterate persons; the per- centage of illiterates remains practi cally the same as ten years ago, be- ing 12.8 per cent. in 1910 and 12.9 in 1900.—Dallas Express. THE HIGH BROWS. George M. Cohan, discussing at a dinner in New York plays and players of the “highbrow” variety, sald: “The ‘high brows’ have poor Thanksgivings. Like Conger, they get {t on all sides. “Last Thanksgiving morning Conger on his arrival at the office was fired by the boss. So he hurried home to get some comfort and consolation from his wife. Ho told her the sad story, and then he wound up hope- fully: ““T think, now, my dear, I'll go into the flour business,’ said he. “His wife with knitted brow looked up at him from the turkey she was basting. ““The flour business!’ she sneered, ‘Oh, splendid! You've got the sack to begin with.’ "—Pittsburg Dispateb. INEXPENSIVE. “I am thinking of going to Europe on a yacation.” “You are!

Tannenbaum If Denver really does have an honest election next ‘Tuesday, it will be interesting to sce the results. ‘There has not been that kind of an election in so long that nobody really knows how much of a majority the Republicans normally have. : It is a mighty interesting campaign, but we must not forget to keep whacking away at business and carrying bacon home to the family and paying our debts. Just before the battle, mother, is a good time to think of home and the baby and of the subseription you owe to your newspaper. ‘The editor needs ammunition just as much as the man on the breastworks needs it, and bacon and eges make just as good a plat- form for him to stand on as local option, Keep sawing wood, watch us fight—and vote the Republican ticket straight next’Tuesday. One more charge and the battle will be overs The campaign has been well fought and the Republican forces are now well over the Demoeratie trenches and massed before the breastworks of the enemy. All the stragtegie divices which the Democrats have employed have been squarely met and defeated. ‘The paramount issues with which they entered the campaign have dwindied away before the fire of Re- publican eriticism, until, to-day, nobody regards as important the ex- perimental propositions with which the Democrats hoped to win sue- cess. The people do not feel that their actual and undisputed rule de- pends upon the hap-hazards of Democratic power. All down the line of their boasted platform issues, there has been an undoubted falling away of props and stays until the bare skeleton of Democratic failure is now plainly to be seen through the clearing smoke of battle, and only the old time, resurrected dogmas of Democracy remain to be seattered and re-buried. The part which our Colored citizens have played in this fight has been bold and important. Circumstances made them one of the politi- cal divisions marked for early Demoeratie attack, and appeals to their race patriotism and other false inducements to desert their rightful chosen ranks have been rained upon them, How many Negroes to-day believe that Democracy ever intended to defend and honor them? In Denver, as elsewhere, they feel that the Republican cause is their cause, and planted firmer than ever upon well-tried Republican principles, they will go to the polls next ‘Tuesday with hope and faith as strong as ever and vote only for Republicans and for only the true Republican ticket. aie Pai : ‘4 nba ce me i ane 4 Wak vi ee Rea.

Platforms do not always play important parts in political cam- paigns, but sometimes they are vital. Sometimes conditions are so open and emphatic and issues so distinct that the party principles for- mally expressed by a convention as the policies to which its candidates are pledged, and which will be enforced if those candidates are elected, are even more important than the personel of the ticket nominated. The platform of the city and county Republicans this year is quite as important as its candidates, in many respects, because it commits them to decided policies on all the great moral questions now agitating this and other communities, some of which are almost national in their im- portance. ‘The expression of Dewey C. Bailey, candidate for mayor, that ‘progress and morality go hand in hand,’’ is not only a campaign slo- gan, but a trustworthy eivie maxim. It forms the keynote of this cam- paign and_must appeal to all voters who realize that the value of prop- erty, the security of life, the welfare of children and the peace and happiness of the community, all in the end, depend upon civie honor and righteousness. The convention’s endorsement of the renomination of President ‘Taft is more sentimental than forceful. That the Colored people doubt the propreity of his renomination does not appear to affect the senti- ment of majorities in some localities, and we are perfectly content to wait such final decision hs the people of the nation may desire. The city campaign is our present concern, and that offers no con- tention over either platform or candidates, for both and all stand for a greater and better Denver. The prospects for a Republiean city administration means much to the Colored voters of Denyer. Republican control means improved conditions to all, and to the Colored people no less than to any other element of our citizenship. ATTENTION COLORADO REPUBLICANS ‘The Republicans of the City of Denver are makingan earnest ef- fort to elect Dewey C. Bailey and his associates on the Republican ticket at this spring’s election. They are trying to wrest the con- trol of the city of Denver from the hands of extravagant Democracy. Pitted against them are two tickets. One, the regular Democratic ticket with a machine of over twenty-five hundred city employes. The oth- er, the Citizen’s ticket, backed by two newspapers whose valuations were reduced by Henry J. Arnold, when he was assessor, and who is nowtheir candidate for mayor. Each of the two tickets are com- posed in themain of Democrats. The success of either means that the election machinery of the city and county of Denver will be in the hands of Democrats next fall when the time comes to elect state and national officials, together with members of the general as- sembly, While the two tickets are fighting each other this spring, they will be united at the fall elec- tion, Republican success in Den- ver now means Republican success in Colorado next November, The fight that is being waged against the Republican ticket is an unfair one. The last demo- cratic legislature enacted a regis- tration law which reinstates the “big-mitt” in all of its power in that city. Under that law each head of a house-hold can register the members of his own household together with his servants, In ad- dition, every voter can register three other voters in his precinct. In addition, the registration | lists are not purged from the preced- ing election, ‘The result is a total registration of 107,000 with at least 25,000 fraudulent registra- tions. or names carried over from two years ago. The Denver ma- chinery is preparing to vote these illegal registrations. We appeal to every Republican in the state to urge his friends in Denver to support the Republican ticket. The Republicans in Den- yer are making a fight that must have a direct bearing on tbe re- sult in Colorado when we elect our Governor and other state officials, | Ifyou know someone who is luke-warm, write or telephone and overcome that luke-warmness. If you know someone who is enthus- jastic, encourage that enthusiasm If every Republican in Colorado will either write or ielephone a half dozen of his personal friends in Denver, the effect will be the success of that ticket in state aud national affairs, so far as Colorado is concerned, next fall. Do this today. Getinthe game. Its our fight as well as the fight of the Republicans of Denver. Inciden- tully, if you believe in Republican principles and can possibly spare the time and exsense, get on the train, go to Denver and do some personal work, Democracy in Denver must be overthrown and the “big-mitt” registration law repealed. This can only be accomplished through Republican success. Heip us to get it. ‘That Charles A. Benkleman, Repub- lican candidate for Alderman of the Ninth Ward, will be elected, goes with. out saying, as his policies are those that stand for the best interest of the people. Not only will he make condi- tions in his own ward brighter and smoother, such as more lights and bet- ter streets—but he will ever be on the alert In backing any move that will make a Greater Denver. You will nev. er have cause to regret for having vot- ed for this candidate who deserves the loyal support of all. a , a = NN A Be EP S Aap AYO dir ELLE Oo 4 DRINK CAPITOL BEER 7 DENVER’S PRIDE ‘The purity of Capitol Beer is demonstrated by its superior flavor and strength-giving qualities.

INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON THE NEGRO the International Conference on the Negro was held here in Douglass hall. Most of the delegates from: abroad were on the grounds the night before and a number of them were here sev- eral days looking into the work In the shops and the class rooms and study- ing some of the unusual methods they Mind in operation here for work among the surrounding rural ne@ro popula- tion, Mr. Scott, who called the confer- ence to order, spoke as follows: “As chairman of the committee on program, I have the honor to call to order the first session of the Interna- tional Conference on the Negro. “The committee has arranged for two sessions dally, at 9:30 o'clock each morning in this room, Douglass hall, and at 7:30 o'clock each evening in the Institute chapel. “The map you see on the wall in front of you will show those sections of the world where negro peoples live in large numbers, and as the sessions Proceed we shall try to indicate with red push buttons the sections repre- sented by papers, discussion, or dele- gates, “The germ idea out of which this conference has grown was suggested ‘by Dr. Washington in an article con- tributed by him to the New York Inde- pendent, March 15, 1906, at the time ‘of the agitation for reform in the Bel- gian Congo. This article was, In a way, a call to the ‘friends of Africa’ to meet in International council for the purpose of organizing a_ society which should stand in its relations to the civilized world as a sort of guardian of the native peoples of Af- rica, a friendly power, an influence with the publle and in the councils where s0 often, without their presence, or knowledge, the destinies of Afri can peoples and of their territories are discussed and decided. “Later, as the notion took more definite form, and as the notion that education in some form or other must be the basis of the solution of the negro problem in Africa, as well as in America, It seemed best to include in this conference all those who were Interested In any practical and con. structive way in the progress and fu- ture of the negro. “In preparing the program the com: mittee has labored under considerable dimculty because of the distance which delegates have had to travel, and because of the uncertainty as to thelr ability to be present. A very considerable number of those whose mames were printed upon the first tentative program that was sent out have later, for one reason or another, found it impossible to be present. In other cases, persons whose names should have been upon the program, but of whose presence we were not as- sured, are with us today. Although {t Was not possible to get thelr names ‘on the printed program, we shall nev- ertheless look forward to hearing from them from time to time during. the course of the sessions, “You will notice we have had to ar- range the exercises in such a way that each day will be devotetd, as far as possible, to one definite subject. To- day, Wednesday, the subject for dis- cussion {8 ‘Conditions;' Thursday, “Missions;’ Friday, ‘Methods.’ As far as possible, we hope the arrangement will be adhered to. “And now it only remains for me to present Dr, Booker T, Washington, the chairman, who will preside during the deliberations of the conference.” Principal Washington's opening ad- ress contained this statement in re- gard to the purpose of the conference and the circumstances under which {t came to be summoned: “For some time past, I have recelv- ed un increasing number of letters, and inquiries every year, from persons outside the United States, who have wanted to learn something in regard to the work and methods of the Tus- kexeo Institute. These letters have come from many parts of the world; they have come from missionaries in Africa, Australia and India, from off- clals of the colonial governments in Burope, and from all sorts of persona who are interested, directly or ind!- rectly, in lifting up the man at the bot- tom in any part of the world. “I recall at one time that I recetved a letter from a man in the south of Rusa, who wanted to establish a school for the Muzhiks, or Russian peasants. At another time I recelved a letter from a misstonary in the New Hebrides, who was engaged In teach- ing a type of black people there, of whom I had never before heard. In addition to these letters I have re- ferred to, we have at Tuskegee, every year, I should say, from 50 to 100 visitors, who come here for the ex- Dress purpose of studying the work of the school. Sometimes we entertain vistors of that kind without knowing that we are doing 0. At one time we Pound that fete chad wilting wack ae. Sagat andi ctae st A A at kerk aed capacity, when they returned home. “I mention these facts here because they indicate to my mind, not so much terest in any one particular institu- tion or In one particular form of edu- cation, but rather a very widespread unrest in regard to educational mat- ters in general, and at the same time, a hope and faith that there are oppor- tnnities for broadening, Improving and applying education to the actual needs of life, in ways of which we are just beginning to realize the possibilities. “This is the reason, I take it, that so many of you have come from dis- tant part of the world; from Eu- rope, from Africa and the West Indies, to attend this conference. You have come to Tuskegee, in other words, not so much because you believe we have discovered or invented any new and specific remedy for the problems you have encountered fn the different lines of work in which you are en- gaged, but rather because you have heard that we have been trying ex- periments, and that we are earnestly seeking to add something to our knowl- edge of what education can practically do, particularly in the solution of some of these new and difficult problems, which have sprung up in different parts of the world, as a result of the closer contacts of the white and color- ed races.” One of the interesting portions of the program was the reading of let- ters from the persons who were invit- ed, or who heard in some way about the conference, but were not able to come. Very few of these letters were of the ordinary formal sort. Many of them give Interesting glimpses into the life of the native peoples and sug- gest something of the ideas and aspi- rations that are stirring in the back of the black man’s brain, in many parts of the world. For example, one of these letters was from Dr, Edward Blyden, written shortly before he died, an exile from his home in Liberia, at Sierra Leone, West Africa. Dr. Bly- den, who was born in the West In- dies and emigrated to Liberia, was one of the most distinguished and learned negroes the world has yet pro- duced. He is at different times pres- ident of the Liberian Republic, ambas- sador to France, and head of the Col- lege of West Africa. He wasa deep student of Arabic, and had traveled far and wide among the Mohammedan blacks. He had a peculiar theory to the effect that the negro could never become a Christian because, as he pointed out, in all of the imagery of the Christian church, the religious paintings, the statuary, and so forth, Christ and the angels are represented as white. There are no black angels, and for that reason, he said, the mass- es of the black people are not going to believe in the Christian heaven. Dr. Blyden was Inclined, in his latter years to the creed of Islam, which is strong among the native African peoples. He favored Mohammedanism, because it forbids the use of images, pictures or symbols of any kind in connection wita religion, To Dr. Blyden, the significance of this conference seemed to be the fact that a negro school should have be- come so widely known that without any one regarding it as strange or un- usual, it was possible to invite peo- ple from all over the world to visit it. Dr, Blyden said: “I am not surprised to get a letter from you on the important question to which you have been good enough to call my attention. “In the first place, I may say, I am very proud that a member of the ne- sro race has risen to such a position, as to be able to summon to his home the whole world to discuss with him the negro question. Secondly, be- cause I have seen the invitation pub- lished in several English papers, and not one has elther by implication or directly given any sign of objection to the right of Dr. Booker 'T, Washington to summon the whole Christian world to meet together to deal with the ques- | tion which concerns not only the ne-| gro race in America, but the whole Af- rican continent.” Another interesting letter, which perhaps gives some indication of the kind of interest with which the na- tive leaders ‘of the West coast are in- clined to look upon this conference, is from Mr. Casely Hayford, native barrister-at-law, at Sekondi, on the Gold coast, who is the author of sey- eral books on the native institutions of the West coast people and also of a book; “Ethiopia Unbound,” which is perhaps the first book written by a native African to give expression to the sentiment of African natauey! Mr. Hayforth says: “We here feel that the great work that is being done at Fuskegee Insti- tute has a mighty uplifting force for the race. It may be possible, how- ever, to be influenced in some degree rohtsant Head eg oprah Sra nel eh etched Le ee ee OTS SOC aD keenly observed your request, and have accepted, as we are aware it 1s from an experienced and well consid- ered source.” The letter continues: “Your scheme and attitude to raise your countrymen, we hail for it, In this country. We are looking forward for a day that you would deem wise and fit to con vey your scheme of raising the ne groes in that country to this country of aboriginal natives, since a very limited number could come over to that country. We believe that ft was God's hand that touched and aroused such feelings in your heart and mind. Come what might be sald the re- demption of Africa will be a person who by blood claims it as his, and cir- cumstances force him to that point.” Among the other interesting letters was one from a graduate of the ne: gro college at Wilberforce, 0., who has started a school in what he calls the “Black Belt of South Africa.” He says: “Remember us in this country, for we are surrounded with thousands of people who need your Tuskegee right among them; who need some- thing more than just the preaching of the Gospel; who need to be lifted up by means of industrial training, back- ed up by a high school such as your humble writer has started out here, right in the ‘Black Belt of South Af- riea.’” In some parts of Africa and South America the news that there was to be a meeting of negroes and friends of the negroes from all parts of the world has given rise to the strangest illustons. Among the natives of Dutch Guiana, for example, the report has gone abroad that the negro king of North America has invited representa- tives of the negro race in every part of the world to an international con- gress. One of the most interesting letters spoke of present conditions in Abys- sinla, since the the death of Emperor Menellk. The writer, who is a Swed- ish missionary, said: “The Swedes here sympathize with the colored people and have a good few men and women among them for erecting schools, for propagating good books and for bringing up industry. For the same purpose, I came to Af rica, 1893, and during my stay on the ficld I have seen some of the places where the Portugeses were busy with their slave trade; have seen what an inhuman treatment the slaves in Af rica still are exposed to, but have also seen that the colored people can be lifted and developed. “A conference such as the one at Tuskeegee institute certainly will be interesting and instructive, for there one can see what effect the culture and Christianity has had on the de- scendants of the sons of Africa, and also learn new methods found out by the colored people themselves. But the state of the country where I am and the circumstances that I am a lone missionary in Abyssinia hinders me to leave my post. The strong hands of Emperor Menelik have left the reins and anarchy has taken the place of the rule. The government is very suspicious and {mprisons both po- litical and religious persons. Out of our people, we had twenty-two persons imprisoned last year, and among them school boys under twelve years of age. (The boys were not imprisoned on account of suspicion for political plots, but simply because they were learning reading, writing and count- ing, etc.) Did I now leave, a catas- trophe very likely would allure again, “In Abyssinia there 1s no one in the present government that cares about the colored peoples outside their own borders. Out of the sub- dued tribes and other neighboring tribes great numbers of slayes are taken both for work within Abyssinia. and for slave markets abroad. ‘The Abyssinians therefore hold that the lower the people stand the better.” Numerous other letters were received from distinguished men in different parts of the world, who have been or are interested in Africa. One of these was from Sir Henry H. Johnston, who visited America a few years ago and wrote a book upon “The Negro in the New World.” Another came from Sir George Taubman Goldie, the man who fownded the great colony of Nigeria. The governor general of the Sudan, where Tuskegee students have been employed in the effort to introduce cotton culture among the natives, sent a message expressing his interest in the objects of the conference. Following 1s Dr. Booker T. Wash- ington’s introductory address to the conference: “For some time past, Ihave received an increasing number of letters and inquiries every year, from persons out- side the United States, who have want- ed to learn something in regard to the work and methods of the Tuskegee institute. ‘These letters have come are doing so. At one time we found that we had with us as a student the son of @ wealthy Chinese merchant, who, without at first disclosing his purpose or identity, had come here as a student in order to get acquainted with the school from the inside, with a view to establishing a somewhat similar institution in his own country. Before, and since then, we have had students from India and Japan, who came here with a similar purpose in view. For a number of years past, we have had at Tuskegee from 100 to 125 students from different parts of the West Indies, Africa, and South America, who have been sent here, not merely to get an education in the trades, such as they do not haye an opportunity to do at home, but like- wise to get acquainted with the plans and methods of this school, in order that they might be more helpful to thelr own people, either as teachers or in some other capacity, when they returned home. “I mention, these facts here because they indicate to my mind, not so much an interest in any one particular in- stitution or in one particular form of education, but rather a very wide- spread unrest in regard to educational matters in general, and at the same time, a hope and faith that there are opportunities for broadening, improy- ing and applying education to the ac- tual needs of life, in ways of which we are just beginning to realize the possibilities. “This is the reason, I take it, that 50 many of you have come from dis- tant parts of the world; from Europe, from Africa and the West Indies, to attend this conference. You have come to Tuskegee, in other words, not 80 much because you believe we have discovered or invented any new and specific remedy for the problems you have encountered in the different lines of work in which you are engaged, but rather because you have heard that we have been trying experiments, and that we are earnestly seeking to add something to our knowledge of what education can practically do, particu- larly in the solution of some of these new and difficult problems, which have sprung up in different parts of the world, as a result of the closer contacts of the white and colored races.” HINTS TO THE HOME GARDENER. There is surely nothing more beau- tiful than a fine green lawn, and real- ly not so difficult a thing to obtain if gone about in the right way. The proper way to start Is after the lawn has been graded to put in it a top soll of at least six inches and have a gradual sloping grade for drainage, or if the ground is low and damp it will be best to lay drain pipes from two to three feet below the surface. Soil that is rich ts very often acid, which can be corrected by applying air-slacked Ime in sufficient quantity to correct the acidity. With sandy soll the question of fertility {s of prime im- portance, after the grading. The en- tire area should be covered with well- rotted manure. Where this ts not pos- sible a chemfeal fertilizer should be used. After this fertilizer has thor- oughly mellowed the soil and a smooth surface has been secured it is then time to sow. A day should be selected when the wind will not blow the seed. In an ordinary open lawn a good mixture is pod pratensis mixed with agnostis acamna. For under the trees where it is difficult to secure any kind of lawn, the ground should be covered with myrtle or hedera Ivy. After the seed has been sown the ground should be raked and gone over with a heavy roller until perfectly level. When the grass is three to four inches high {t should be cut with a scythe until strong enough to bear the mower. Should any bare spots appear these must be made mellow and again seeded down. The best season for making a lawn fs immediately after the spring rains and before the heat of the summer tends to dry out the ground. RENEWING PEACH TREES. ‘Usually some untoward condition or accident cuts short the life of our peach trees and makes replanting nec- essary to keep bearing trees on the premises. Occasionally, however, there are orchards that stand the ex- tremes of cold, drought, moisture and wind, and lve to an unusual age. Be- yond a certain period these trees often fail to bear. A large number of growers, especially men in New York state, have found that their trees can be renewed by partlally dehorning the tops and allowing new sprouts to grow, upon which fruit will be borne later. To bring this about some growers re- move from one-half to two-thirds of the top in a single season, removing the remainder when the new top has developed. A majority of our old trees have high tops. In renewing use the branches that start low to bring the tops down.—Michigan Farmer. s VALUE OF GUINEAS. A good point’about guineas 1s that they make good “watch dogs.” Every person who writes of these fowls men. tions this fact, but a good thing will bear repeating. In common with wild birds, they are always on the lvokout for enemies, and quickly detect hawks, dogs, strange persons, etc,, that ven: ture near. Their wild cries on such occasions soon put the intruders to rout, and also put all the fowls on the place on their guard. If hawks are numerous, a few guineas in the flock will prove a great help in preventing their depredations.

ENGRAVERS-PRINTERS CUTS TAULKE DENVER, COLO JOE JEANNETTE A PEEVED NEGRO Dubs Johnson as a "Moving Picture Fighter." SLIPS THE COWARDICE CHARGE AT THE CHAMPION TOO—GOT TITLE THROUGH "LUCKY BREAK," SAYS JOE—"MADE HIM QUIT ONCE," HE SAYS. By JAMES J. CORBETT. Former Heavyweight Champion of the World New York.—On the eve of the departure for Paris, where he hopes to utilize Fred Storbeck, the South African champion (?) as a means of replenishing his dwindling bank account, Joe Jeannette, the negro boxer, usually a person of great reserve and taclurnity, grabbed his trusty fountain pen and let loose a few hundred words anent the attitude of one J. Arthur Johnson, heavyweight champion of the world. I take it from the tenor of Joe's malden effort as a letter writer that he can hardly be classed as an ardent admirer of the present titleholder. Joe is peeved. In sooth, it is no wonder he feels vexed. Willing to box anybody, no color or creed barred, he finds it a difficult task to land an occasional job; this applies to the entire bunch of heavies from Johnson down to the most hopeless of the hopes. The champion in particular refuses to give him a tumble at all, and that's what gets Joseph's goat. Therefore, it is at the Johnson person (no less), that the Hoboken scraper slings his bunch of libelous language. Angry that none of the boxers in this country, with or without a "rep," wants his game, and because he finds it necessary to hike to Europe to earn a piece of money, Jeannette in his arrangement of the champion, lands some damaging blows to the already tottering reputation of Jeffries' conqueror. He charges Johnson with cowardice, dubs him a "moving picture" fighter, a four-fusher and other names that indicate great affection for the accused; asserts he is champion only through a "lucky break," that he is stalling to avoid meeting Langford or himself (Jeannette), and knows he will surely be licked if he boxes either. He brands Jack as an overrated champion, concluding with the declaration that he made Johnson quit in their match in Philadelphia, and offering to bet $5,000 he can do the trick over again. Outside of these few failings the champion is all right, according to Joe. Fight followers who doubt Jeanette's right to challenge for the title need only peruse the record books to convince themselves of his eligibility. If the match with Langford arranged for Los Angeles in July goes through and he emerges a victor over the doughy "tar baby." Joe declares he will force Johnson to give him battle or lay down his hand and retire from the game. 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 adapting 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 imitative, 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. BAKED BEANS WITH TOMATO SAUCE. One quart of beans, soaked over night; in morning put them in kettle with cold water and boil ten minutes; change water and put with them small piece of salt pork and boll until tender, then take out of kettle with skimmer, put in baking dish with pork in center; cut ring in small pieces. If desired, mix with the beans in the bake dish one cupful of strained tomatoes or two tablespoonfuls of tomato catsup. Sprinkle top with one tablespoonful of brown sugar or molasses. Bake three hours. If they bake dry, add bean broth. DIGNITY OF RELIABILITY It is amazing to see for how small a consideration some people will jeopardize their honor; and sell, for a trifle, that which they should hold dear. To them, the ring of the dollar has a sweeter tune than the sound of an honored name. They walk and have their being, presenting, in appearance, the embodiment of nobility; but their daily walks are a travesty upon the works of creation. No reverence for truth, honesty and reliability finds, in their hearts, an abiding place; and their deeds are the accumulations of unworthy practice. Nothing is so debasing to human nature as the abuse of manly principles which are so necessary to our progress in life. He who ruthlessly tramples upon those elements which constitute his well-being, and allows his colors to trail for what he conceives to be his advantage, not only undermines the foundation upon which his hopes are bullied, but also razes the superstructure in which he needs to dwell. Life is of doubtful tenure and a struggle against adversities; therefore it behooves every actor to play well his part, if he would win in the unequal conflict. However insignificant our lot may be there is a certain dignity in its support; and, if we fail to realize its value we are woefully deficient in foresight or carelessly indifferent to the pleadings of our conscience. To a man the most desirable ends to be obtained are reached through the medium of an enlightened understanding, and the appreciation of lofty ideals. Blighted manhood carries with it a disregard for life's duties and obligations, and paves the way to that stage of degeneracy from which we seldom emerge. The sacrifice required to overcome the obstacles by which our aspirations are hampered is indeed appalling; and our efforts are strengthened only in proportion to our determined avoidance of error. Confidence is the strongest tie that binds the hearts of men and creates that friendship which time can ne'er destroy. But, we often discard the true essentials of lasting benefits for the fleeting and unstable advantage of temporary gains obtained through falsehood and deception. Truth is a most beautiful virtue; but, in many instances, is most fearfully outraged. Even numbers who boast comradeship with Jehovah and claim daily visitations of the Holy Spirit forget to value its services; but, slander the name of Divinity by professing allegiance to his cause, not remembering the fact, that we move upward or downward in accordance with our habits. Promises made are of secondary importance to the growth of character—thus they think—and, for them broken vows have a superior fascination. The worth and rating of individuals are gauged according to their respective merits; and the spurious receives its just approval at the hands of the better element of mankind. He is a coward who fails to reverence truth; and whatever be his station, is an undesirable adjunct to society. Many a career otherwise brilliant, has been brought to an inglorious end, because the nobleness of truth, honor and justice was not upheld. Inconveniences step in to hinder progress when obligations are not fulfilled; and the occurrence often creates, for us, no small degree of embarrassment. It is, therefore, a duty not only to encourage uprightness in others, but also, have it instilled in our own minds, so that the examples we set may well be worth the following.—Ethiopian Phalanx. NEW SPRING COLORS. Robert Henri, the noted artist, paused before a landscape at the Philadelphia Academy of the Fine Arts and said: "Dawb, who painted this, has sprung from humble circumstances to great wealth and eminence. "Dawb made his first success in Paris. He was diffident and abashed in those days. When he would sally out from his garret in the Rue Vaugirard to a duchess' in the Avenue des Champs Elysees or a princess' in the Rue de l'Universite his heart would be in his mouth. "They say that once, at a dinner party at Paillard's, Dawb, the guest of honor, didn't open his mouth from the marennes vertes to the souffle. "Finally, when the dessert came on, the beautiful and elegant hostess smiled and said: "Come, dear M. Dawb, do say something!" "Dwb blushed at this challenger racked his brain and stammered, with a bashful smile: "Have you noticed, ladies and gentlemen, that this year's pawn tickets are all green?" DON'T UNDERFEED. "The mistake that most farmers make is in underfeeding their cattle, rather than overfeeding them," said Dr. C. H. Eckles of the Missouri experiment station, recently. "A cow should be given all she will use, so long as she is using it for milk production. There can be no ironclad laws for feeding dairy cows, but a few practical rules may be laid down which will apply in every case. The cows should be fed all the roughage they will clean up at all times. Milk animals should be fed all they will take without gaining in weight. Grain should be fed at the rate of one pound of grain a day for each three pounds of milk produced each day or one pound of grain a day for each pound of butterfat produced each week." Disking corn ground before plowing is now practiced by good corn growers. It makes the soil fine at the bottom as well as on top. In planting corn on hilly land, run the rows along the side of the hill rather than up and down the slope. In this way water of rains will not cut the middle of the rows by forming gullies. Each row along the side of the hill will act as a terrace for retarding the downward flow of surface water. It will soak into the soil where needed, and will not wash away so much of the surface soil. The more corn ground is worked in a dry state before planting is done, the easier the corn will be to tend and keep clean. Experience has taught that washed eggs are liable to "rot" in a very few days. When preparing a case of fresh eggs for the market do not wash them. It also makes them shiny and look old. A good way to dispose of early summer manure is to scatter it between rows of growing corn, cultivating it into the surface soil. Here it will not damage the plants through heating, and with every rain richness will be extracted to feed the growing crop. It will make the corn grow so fast that you can "nearly see it grow." Green forage is the farmer's cheap feed. The farmer who expects to make clear profit on his animals with the least amount of labor will have plenty of pastures fenced off with high and tight-woven wire fences. Build more hay shelter before haying time. Hay has become as valuable, pound for pound, as concentrated feeds. A roof for sheltering hay will pay for itself, and more, the first year, and it will shelter the crop for many years. The silo is simply a storehouse for feeds. Building out means enlarging the feed storage capacity of your live stock and dairy equipment. The silo is the most economical storage for feeds that can be constructed. A medium-sized silo has a storage capacity equal to a large barn and is cheaper to construct. Dairying is a great aid in general farming, since the monthly cash income from cows can be used for running expenses without necessity of borrowing. The man who always has some cash on hand is on the independent road. The dairy farmer is almost always in good circumstances. With a good start he is in a position for continued success. POULTRY POINTERS. Hens that have not laid heavily during the winter, as a rule, will lay eggs in the spring that will hatch out strong chicks. Forcing for winter laying lowers vitality. When eggs are tested out of the incubator their place may be filled from eggs under hens set the same day, and the hens reset on new eggs. Pure-bred stock with ducks and geese will pay as well as with chickens. Watch chicks in the brooder run on cold days and do not allow them to huddle up in a pile in one corner. They should either be under the hover in the warm or out in the run eating or exercising. Never scatter feed on the floor of the brooder run for chicks to pick up. In this manner of feeding they will, of necessity, eat more or less of their own filth and become diseased. Chicks in the brooder should be provided with both a sanitary watering and feeding vessel. These are arranged so that the birds can partake of drink or water without stepping into the vessels. Mixed dry chick feed may be in the feed box before them all the time. Ten or twelve goose-eggs may be placed under a goose for incubation, but when a hen is used from four to six will be enough, according to the size of the hen. Exercise is a remedy for leg weakness as well as many other chick ailments. Give space for abundant exercise, yet make a run dry and clean, and keep the hover clean and warm so they can sleep in comfort after exercising. After chicks are three weeks old, they may be kept in a fireless brooder with artificial heat at night, and on cold days supplied by jugs of hot water. Wrap the hot jugs with thick cloth. Guineas as table fowls are becoming popular birds with the decreasing of game. A few could be raised with profit on every farm. They are good foragers and destroyers of insects and good layers, but their eggs have a wild flavor and are not desirable food. The egg-laying season begins in April, yet the first broods should not be brought off till warm weather, as the young are tender and cannot stand the cold. Four weeks are required for the eggs to hatch. REMOVE THE MALE FROM THE FLOCK. Where the attention of the male becomes a perfect harassment, the nervous derangement may decrease the egg product. It is, therefore, safest to have not less than ten females mated to each male bird, and after breeding season it is best to remove the male from the flock altogether. Hens will lay just as well without the attentions of a male as with them. $25.00 COLONIST FARES All Main Line Points AND ALL POINTS ON Marshall Pass Line, Salida to Grand Junction ON THE Denver & Rio Grande in Colorado TO California and the Pacific Northwest VIA THE DENVER & RIO GRANDE RAILROAD AND THE WESTERN PACIFIC RAILWAY The Royal Gorge—Feather River Cañon Route.

Flowers are suggested as a substl- tute for feathers that have been pro- cured by cruelty, but it may not be out of place to point out to the gentle dames who wish to protect bird life that it 1s at least equally their duty to see that in the modes they are ready to adopt they are not simply encour- aging the sweatshop evil.

One who is clever with water colors and brush should be able to take the plain white or yellow ‘daisy, outline the petals with a threadlike line of black, and place these ordinary daughters of the fietd among the distinguished and exclusive visitors. They are very fine on iin gerie hats and on all the big midsum mer straws, One thing must be horne in mind in using flowers or any other trimming ‘this season In all hats the shapes the thing. Outlines must not be ob- iterated or lost sight of. Decorations ‘must not interfere with lines, but eith- ‘er call attention to them, accentuate them, or modestly keep out of their way. For this reason we see smail, flat bows, little wings, diminutive fancy-feathers posed as if trying to find the most inconspicuous position for themselves. On long, sweeping aigrettes and feathers, as well as flow- ers, placed so as to continue and pro- long the line of the curving brim edge. ‘Either this poise, or the straight and rigid “‘stick-up,” which appears to be trying to take up as small space as possible, with leaves and blossoms completely drawn together and only broadening out at the top when the outline of the crown has been passed, are stylish, Millinery is gay with flowers. On those street hats without flowers bright colors are provided, in facings and brim coverings of silk, or in bands and ornaments of lace over bright foundations, Primrose and viv- jd greens, cerise and gold are the fa: vored colors.

Red hand bags and purses are ex pected to be extremely popular this ‘spring and the shops show many va- rieties, both in shape and material. A very popular shape is an unusually flat envelope with two long leather straps. The bag {s not large and is almost square. It is of long grain morocco in the brightest red. A flat envelope strap bag has a metal rim. For more sober taste there are charm. ing brown suede or seal bags and en- velopes. A very flat dull seal bag with what is called a gate frame, a contrivance which keeps the bag much flatter, mounted in gilt, is $5. Black suede bags and envelopes are ex- tremely fashionable for women whe wear black at all. Long, flat bags of this sort are mounted in silver or si) ver gilt.
