Great Plans Formulated and Carried Out. VOL. XVIII. Southern g'r Meetings Throughout the South The Great Advance Which Completion of The P Plans Formulated The following editorial appeared in the New York Age. The time has come for the Negroes in the South to bestir themselves, if they are to be counted in the South's forward march. It is now encumbent upon them to get busy as they have never been before Throughout the South meetings are being held to take charge of the great advance which that section will undoubtedly make after the completion of the Panama Canal and after great plans now being formulated are carried out. There was recently held in Nashville, Tennessee, a meeting of the Southern Commercial Congress. At this meeting every conceivable subject having to do with any feature of Southern progress—farming, dairying, poultry raising, deep water ways, civic improvement—was discussed fully. About the same time a meeting of the Southern Educational Conference was held in the same place, at which meeting ambitious plans for the educational development of the South were discussed and set in operation. There has now been called to meet in Houston, Texas, a convention of Southern Commercial Secretaries. The call for this latter meeting contains among other statements the following: The spirit of the New South is upon these leaders of progress and their concerted efforts have done more for the South during the past few years than has been accomplished in all the history of the past. With the co-operation of the directors and the sustaining forces behind them, the secretaries have set in motion some of the most gigantic world forces of progress and with a master hand they are swinging civilization around the South like planets around a central sun. The history of our armed conquests, the deeds of our heroes, and the traditions of the glorious South are scarcely more thrilling the industrial conquests of the past half decade. The merry hum of industry has hushed the cry of despair, and hope, like an inswept ocean, has flooded the Southland, the sound of the hammer has aroused its laten energies to resistless activity and awakened --- memories of oldtime power and prestige, and the scream of the factory whistle has stirred in Southern blood the iron spirit of the conqueror and we are entering the battle field of the world's commerce, alert, progressive and powerful. The hour of destiny is fast approaching when the South, with one mighty surge of its organized forces, can pull the star of civilization within its borders. During the past few years, many of our thoroughfares, beaten firm by the bare feet of the pioneers, have for the first time felt the elevating influence of the road grader. Macadam roads, magnificent boulevards and a net work of public highways radiate from every city that has a live commercial club, and they stand as a monument to Southern ability and progress. Beneath our soil lie the mineral vaults of the universe; from our iron, the wheels of the nation's commerce are moulded; our coa feeds the fires of American industry, and our oil lights the world's firesides, and yet we have untouched vast acres of mineral wealth awaiting the prospector's pick to flood the channel of trade with a golden stream of prosperity. We urge our people to take note of the movement. We urge them to be in no way laggard in hitching themselves on to all of these plans for the development of the South. We urge them to put away needless and fruitless discussion of unimportant and nonessential details and to pray for a double baptism of this spirit of the new South which seems rampant throughout that section. No longer will it be possible for us to sit down discussing senseless subjects when the young white men of the South are getting ready to possess themselves of the land and the fullness thereof.

The busy man is only aware of time because it goes so swiftly.—Florida Times-Union. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MAY 25 1912. State Hst Nat Hst Boosts State House HANTS WE ADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORAD TRIED TO "JIM CROW" VETERANS Washington, D.C., May 15. Congressman Roddenbery, Democrat of Georgia, made an unsuccessful effort to compel the Government to create "Jim Crow" soldiers' home throughout the country in which Afro-American veterans can be cared for. The House had under consideration at the time the conference report on the Sherwood Pension bill Reddenbery offered an amedment which provided no pension shall be allowed inmates of national soldiers homes unless whites and blacks are cared for in separate domiciles and grounds. To support his contension Roddenbery read a letter from an inmate of a Western soldiers' home who said he is compelled to live with "niggers." The name of the writter was withheld. Mr. Madden, of Illinois, in replying to the Georgian, characterized the writer of the letter as a "coeward." This brought Roddenbery to his feet. His face flushed with anger. He replied that the letter was signed. The following is the text of the Roddenbery amendment: Add at the bottom of page 36 of the bill the following: "Provided, That after July 1, 1912, no pension under this act or under any other act, general or special, shall be paid to a pensioner of African descent until such time as all inmates of national soldiers' home of African descent are consolidated, removed, and domiciled in a national soldiers' home at a place separate and apart from any other such home occupied by any other soldiers and veterans of the Civil War or other wars. "Provided further, That after July 1, 1912, all inmates of national soldiers' homes of African descent shall be domiciled at a distinctly separate home maintained exclusively for such inmates." CUBA ON VERGE OF BLOODY WAR WITH NEGROES Havana, May 20.—There is no room for doubt tonight in the existence of a Negro conspiracy extending to all the provinces of the island, with the apparent intention of taking up arms against the government today, which was the tenth anniversary of Cuban independence. The Negroes appear to have been roused in the rebellion by the denial of what seems to them their just political rewards for services rendered in the war of independence, in which they constituted a great majority of the Cuban forces. The feeling against the government has been intensified by a law denying the Negroes the right to organize a political party. The principal trouble now is near Sagua La Grande, in Santa Clara province and Cruces, where two armed parties are operating and in Oriente province where several bands are converging on Guatanamo city with the apparent purpose of making a display of force. The rural guard succeeded in dispercing one small party and capturing two others. The situation is considered sufficiently grave for the government to dispatch 1,200 men from Camp Columbia, composed of cavalry and infantry, with field and machine guns, for Santa Clara and Oriente provinces. Near Sagua La Grande a squad of ruralies had an engagement with an armed band of Negroes. One of the guards was killed and the Negroes escaped. From Crusses comes the report that residents of the surrounding country are fleeing to the city for shelter. The insurgents are reported to have held up a locamotive and stolen many horses. At Mariany, eight miles from Havana, the rural guard exchanged shots with a party of Negroes. The secretary of the interior, Senor Bru, said there was no doubt about the widespread racial conspiracy which the government is determined to deal with drastically, but that up to the present the only danger points are Santa Clara and Ariente. GENERAL CONFERENCE ELECT FOUR BISHOPS Kansas City, Mo.—The election of four bishops in the great A. M. E. Church was accomplished yesterday amid one of the biggest demonstrations ever witnessed by this august body. Long before the hour set for this very important action great throngs of friends and adherents of candidates were clamoring for admission to Allen Chapel. Bishop Flipper was presiding and for hours he tried in vain to get some semblance of order, but after it was seen that the church was inadequate to entertain such a gathering the General Conference adjurned to Convention Hall, where, amidst the greatest demonstration since Bryan's nomination in 1900, these four bishops were elected. There were nearly a score of candidates all well fortified in backing asking to be one of the four. On the first ballot Rev. John Hurst of Washington, D. C., was the only one to land safely, receiving 314 votes. On the second ballot Rev. W. D. RACE NEWS Kansas City, May 14.—The African Methodist Episcopal Conference today appropriated $5,000 for the flood sufferers in Mississippi Valley This will be augmented by $10,000 from the church extension society and a special effort will be made on the second Sunday in June to raise $25,000 more for this purpose. The officers of the Tuskegee Institute have agreed with the officers of the National Baptist Sunday School Congress, which meets at Tuskegee Institute June 5 to 10, to see that a charge not exceeding $1.00 is made for the board of such delegates as may attend. No sum in excess of $1.00 will be charged, whether delegates board on the institute grounds or in families in the town of Tuskegee, or the surrounding institute community. Savannah, Ga., May 14.—The plan to elect a colored suffragan as bishop in charge of work among the Negroes was approved in the report of a committee of the Episcopal diocese of Georgia at the annual convention last week. However, considerable opposition developed during the debate which followed. The convention finally decided not to take action this year upon the matter of a suffragan Negro bishop. Monroe, N. C., May 14.—The county commissioners have appointed G. G. McCain, registar and L. W. McDonald judges to hold an election for special school tax in district No. 5 for the Negroes on the line between Muford and Jackson townships. As it was agreed that the whites should not be taxed for the colored race, the Negroes have not been taxed, and this is the only Negro district that has applied for the special tax. It is believed that there will be many more and it is commendable, showing the progressive spirit of the Negroes in this country. Chappelle of South Carolina; Rev. Joshua Jones of Ohio and Rev. John M. Connor of Arkansas, were honored by election to the bishopric. The balloting commenced at 1 o'clock p. m. and it was 9 o'clock before an adjournment was made and the election over.—Topeka Plaindealer. NO 37 Pittsburg, Pa.—The gratifying news has come to our attention that Mr. Kuhn, the well known hotel proprietor of the East End, has dispensed with the white waiters and the manager, Mr. Joyce, who preferred them, and has installed all Negro help. This is indeed a significant incident, at least so far as the Negro is concerned. Once more has it been demonstrated that the Negro, after all, is the only efficient servant, when he is man enough to take pride in the work assigned him. Not long ago the Courier was forced to give out the lamentable intelligence that Kuhn had "put out" the Negro waiters. In less than a year they have been reinstated, and the manager who "put them out" has been discharged. Washington, D. C., May 15. Bishop Alexander Walters and other Negroes who have been spending a large part of their time trying to show the colored voters that the time is ripe for them to join forces with the Democratic party and work industriously to elect a Democratic President in November, have struck another snag The radical Democrats have broken out again and shown that they are not particular in recognizing the Negro as a Democrat, despite the claims of Bishop Walters and his followers to the contrary. In the capital city last week the local Democratic Committee decided to bar all Negro Democrats from voting in the primaries. It was agreed that the colored voters were not wanted. It is said that Speaker Clark was heartily in favor of the plan to bar the colored voters from participating in the primaries. GOD DON'T LIKE UGLY. The reason the Lord will not bless us and have us prosper as other races, is because we are not true to each other. We do not want to see one another get up in the world, for, if one starts up we will pull him down. We help, give aid and support other races in business before we will one of our own race. We are too prejudice against each other, jealous of each others prosperity and hate to see each other have something you haven't got. And God is angry with us for our ugliness and underminding spirit. God don't like ugly.—Central Afro-American THE WORLD IN PARAGRAPHS BRIEF RECORD OF PASSING EVENTS IN THIS AND FOR EIGN COUNTRIES. DOINGS AND HAPPENINGS THAT MARK THE PROGRESS OF THE AGE. WESTERN. Mrs. Silvey Baker, 119 years old, formerly a slave, died at her home in Goodnight, Oklahoma, recently. The directors of the Prairie Oil & Gas Company of Independence, Kan, have declared a dividend of $6 per share. The third annual convention of the Inter-Mountain Good Roads Association meets at Logan, Utah, June 12 to 14. Reports received from the middle western states indicate that fully fifty per cent of the wheat crop has already been abandoned. Five students were burned to death when fire destroyed the main building of the Creek and Seminole Indian college at Boley, Okla. Peter Pederson, living near Presho, S. D., his wife and five children, the latter all under nine years of age, burned to death in a fire which destroyed their home. As a reward for faithful service, the management of the Missouri Pacific-Iron Mountain railroad has decided to issue annual passes to employés who have worked for that company fifteen years or longer. A special cable to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer from Dawson, Yukon, says: The Yukon valley is a roaring furnace for 200 miles between Big Saloon and Steuart city. Everywhere forest fires are raging, but they are not near any city. Deflected by a large sandba, recently formed, the Colorado river, which is at flood stage from the melting mountain snows, threatens the destruction of part of the town of Needles, Calif. The 3,000-foot concrete wall built by the Santa Fe railroad a year ago to protect the town from the river, is crumbling. The announcement has been made on high authority that Gov. Hunt of Arizona, in his call for a special session of the Legislature to meet at Phoenix, would include an anti-lobby bill, a tax levy measure, a primary election bill, a bill to make the publication of campaign expenses compulsory and a bill providing for the election of state and county officers in the tail.

Parties of armed negroes headed by Gen. Estanz are operating near El Caney, El Cabre and San Luis, Cuba, and also at points near Santiago. They have seized many horses and a quantity of explosives. To form an independent republic out of the three states of Sonora, Sinaloa and Tepic, Mexico, and eventually to secure the recognition of the United States and to be merged with that country, is a plan favored by many Americans who have interests in the three states named, but who have despaired of seeing order restored in Mexico under present conditions. WASHINGTON. It is estimated that when the excavation of the Panama canal is completed nearly 55,000,000 pounds of dynamite will have been used. Representative Akin of New York has introduced a resolution which would direct Secretary Wilson to report to the House the circumstances under which his son, Jasper Wilson, was appointed at a reputed salary of $10,000 as an employé of a Colorado irrigation company. President Taft, in an endeavor to help the American locomotive engineers and conductors who were thrown out of employment as a result of the strike on the National railways of Mexico, has directed the State Departments to mail letters to the heads of 150 railroads in the United States and ask if employment cannot be given to these men. Senator Borah, author of the three-year homestead bill, has served notice on members of the Senate who are trying to arrange an adjournment June 15, that there will be no adjournment until his bill is passed. The case of Senator Lorimer of Illinois, whose election was alleged to have ben brought about through corruption, was placed before the Senate for final action. The minority reported that the second investigation conclusively established that fifteen of the votes cast for Lorimer were corrupt, and that his election was invalid. WESTERN LEAGUE STANDING.

Congressmen Randell and Broussard of Louisiana were elected by the State Legislature to the United States Senate. Senator W. Murray Crane of Massachusetts has announced that he would not be a candidate for re-election before the primaries, in his state next autumn. With only part of the total vote in the state counted Col. Roosevelt's delegates on the Republican ticket and Gov. Harmon on the Democratic preference ballot, led Ohio's first presidential preference primary. The fight on both tickets was so close that complete returns may change final results. Complete returns from slightly less than 2,000 precincts of 5,192 in the state showed that Col. Roosevelt's delegates had a lead of more than 15,000 votes. Gov. Harmon's lead over Woodrow Wilson was much less than this. GENERAL. Seed corn is selling at $5.50 to $6.50 per bushel in Wisconsin and is scarce at that. Top steers in the Chicago stock yards market are selling up to $9.46 a hundredweight.

Officers of the Illinois Life Insurance Company have announced they would pay immediately a policy of $2,000 on the life of Clarence Virgil Thompson Richeson, electrocuted in Boston recently. In a paper prepared by Dr. Karl von Ruck of Ashville, N. C., and read before the Chicago Medical Society, he announced that he had discovered a serum, which he believes gives immunity from tuberculosis. Five people plunged with an automobile into the waters of the Calumet river at Chicago, when they came at a breakneck speed to an open drawbridge. The entire party, two men and three women, were killed. The Interstate Commerce Commission has directed the railroads to put into effect on June 1 the reduced freight rates on wool prescribed by the decision of the commission made April 12. The new rates will supersede the present rate to Boston of $2.13 a hundred pounds from the blanket territory covered by the Union Pacific lines, which is held unreasonable, and from Denver, Cheyenne and Trinidad the rate to Boston will be $1.32 per 100. Of the 968 delegates to the National Republican convention selected to date, President Taft has 452 and Roosevelt 367. The third trial of Dr. B. Clark Hyde, for the murder of Col. Thos. H. Swope, in Kansas City, has been postponed until October. Mrs. D. P.

REALTY VALUATION OF TOWN—CITIZENS OWN $300,000 IN REAL ESTATE AND $200,000 IN PERSONAL PROPERTY—MANY BUSINESS INSTITUTIONS. New York.—Many improvements are soon to be made in Mound Bayou, Miss., the widely known negro town, according to Isaiah T. Montgomery, Mound Bayou's founder, who is in New York on business. Mr. Montgomery is negotiating to place municipal bonds of the town on the market, which will be done to inaugurate civic improvements, such as sidewalks, light, water and sewerage facilities. Already Mound Bayou has considerable plank walks and an artesian well that flows 15 to 20 gallons a minute of pure, soft water. However, no arrangements have been made to date for plumbing it. While in New York Mr. Montgomery is arranging to float the $40,000 worth of oil mill bonds, and is further seeking to reach the class of far-sighted philanthropists with a view to showing them the need of the formation of a permanent trust or foundation fund of several hundred thousand dollars, to be loaned among the negroes at 4 and 4½ per cent, which would encourage the development of small farms and the building of comfortable homes. It is the idea of Mr. Montgomery that a portion of the interest be used for building suitable rural schools, in which the South is quite deficient, particularly as relating to negroes. The proposed trust or foundation fund may be made up in part of the endowments already set apart for negro institutions. In that case a proper proportion of the interest would be preserved to the purpose prescribed. The primary object of the investment sought is to secure the perpetuation and development of Mound Bayou as a progressive, agricultural, industrial and commercial center and for the promotion of thrift and enterprise that may continually demonstrate the administrative and constructive capacity of the negro, thereby contributing greatly as an encouraging example to the race at large as well as to the lasting and general good of the State of Mississippi. MOUND BAYOU'S HISTORY. Mound Bayou derives its name from two bayous that stretch irregularly like an enormous Y, the left arm northeast and the right arm northwest. About three miles southeast of the town they join at the foot of an enormous mound relic of the Indian. About 1885 the L. N. O. & T. railroad, owned principally by Messrs. Collins P. Huntington and R. T. Wilson, came into possession of a million acres comprising a large portion of the great Yazoo delta, at that time considered scarcely habitable continuously by the Anglo-Saxon. In 1887 the company sought the attention of Isaiah T. Montgomery, who believed that he saw a golden opportunity for his race and soon concentrated all of his powers to attract the better class of negroes and encourage them to buy homes on the section drained by the two bayous. The country was a trackless wilderness assessed at one to two dollars per acre, and in many cases contracts had to be renewed. Montgomery instituted a rule with the railroad not to wholly cancel a contract as long as a settler could be depended upon, and in case of failure, another man was put in his place. Very little live stock or building material was available, frontier methods were resorted to, settlers joining to help each other split and hew logs to build their cabins, make slab and punecheon floors, and pile the logs that had to be burned off their small clearings. Meantime an existence was sked out by splitting railroad ties and making white oak staves for the European market. About 1894 a demand arose for town lots. Isaiah Montgomery and a cousin, B. T. Green, had a 40-acre tract platted. A charter was duly executed by Gov. Anelm J. M. Laurin, and Isaiah T. Montgomery was appointed first mayor. One of the fundamental rules at Mound Bayou has been to cultivate public opinion and have the people at large participate in responsibility for the reputation of the community. As a result law and order prevails to an extent equal to any town in the South. The first machinery brought in was a small saw mill used mostly to cut thousands of the fine ash logs that abounded in the high cane lands. All land became cleared, a cotton gin and press was attached to the mill. THE BANK OF MOUND BAYOU. Some seven years ago Charles Banks associated with a number of others, established the Bank of Mound Bayou. This institution now owns a two-story brick building, has a paid-up capital of $25,000 with resources of over $100,000, and has been of invaluable service in concentrating and developing the business of agricultural interests. There are at present three saw mills that operate on an average of four or five months a year, cutting about 1,000,000 feet that enters mostly into the local trade. Many millions of feet of oak, ash, elm, cypress and a little gum are sold to Memphis mills in logs at from $9 to $25 per thousand feet. There are two Munger system gins worth $10,000 that handle between 8,000 and 4,000 bales of bender and ORIGINAL IN POOR CONDITION staple cotton annually and thousands of tons of cotton seed. Among the leading business houses is the Farmers' Co-Operative Mercantile company, occupying a brick store 50x70 feet and carrying $10,000 worth of stock. Several other stores carry from $4,000 to $6,000 worth of stock. The town now covers between 160 and 200 acres, and has a population of 1,000. Realty valuations approximate $300,000; personal property, about $200,000; the value of church property, $12,000, and a $10,000 brick church is in course of erection. The value of school property is $5,000, owned by the A. M. A. Baptist, $3,000, and the public school, $1,500. A public library, constructed of brick, is valued at $5,000, $4,000 of which was contributed by Andrew Carnegie. There is in active course of construction an ice plant and a brick manufacturing plant. MOUND BAYOU OIL MILL. The pride of the community is the Mound Bayou Oil mill, which is the direct outgrowth of the National Business league started in Boston about twelve years ago by Booker T. Washington. Mississippi negroes under the leadership of Charles Banks, were among the first to inaugurate a state league. After considerable deliberation extending over two years, they determined on building an oil mill with funds derived by the wide distribution of stock in small denominations to teach the power of combination. The oil mill industry was selected because negroes have long performed practically all of the industrial and mechanical work attached to the industry. The company is duly incorporated, capitalized at $100,000, $80,000 of the capital is paid up, over 50 per cent, having been contributed by negroes of Mound Bayou. A plant has been constructed and equipped with the most improved machinery pronounced by competent critics equal to any mill in the state. Dr. Booker T. Washington will start the machinery personally in October. There is still $20,000 of unsold stock, but in order to assure ample finances to begin with, the managing officers have determined on issuing $40,000 in first mortgage bonds in denominations of $500 to $1,000 for the following purposes: to purchase tanks, belting and electrical plant, $5,000; to pay off the entire indebtedness, $15,000, which applies to machinery of the best class that has already been received and installed, and leave a reserve of $20,000 for operating. The mill has a capacity of handling forty tons of seed in twenty-four hours, and is so designed that the output can be readily doubled by adding two presses. A ton of raw seed averages in cost $18 to $25, the same seed turned into manufactured product will sell for $30 to $36. The cost of manufacture approximates three dollars per ton. MURDERS UNSOLVED TEXAS CITIZENS EXERCISED OVER WHOLESALE KILLING OF NEGROES IN LONE STAR STATE —COMMITTEE OFFERS REWARD —INTRUDER PROVES TO BE WHITE MAN BLACKENED UP. Austin, Tex.—The negroes of Texas, and in this city in particular, are wrought up over the wholesale murdering of negro families in the various towns by what the press terms as the "ax-man" or "ax-woman." The latest crimes occurred in San Antonio, where five members of a family were murdered, and in Hempstead, where six met death by foul play. One of the intended victims at Hempstead awakened by a cut on the hand and rolled out of and under the bed screaming, frightening the culprits away and saving her life and the lives of her two children. Every negro in Austin is aroused and verious committees are being formed. Anonymous "red ax" letters have been received and turned over to the postal authorities. Dr. L. L. Campbell is chairman of a committee composed of teachers and prominent citizens which has offered a reward for the apprehension of the human vultures. The white press tries to lay stress on a certain negro religious cult, but the negroes believe it to be demons of other races. Some one tried to gain entrance to a white woman's home one night in a nearby town and a negro youth of 18 years fired through the door, hitting the intruder. By the blood the authorities trailed him several miles to Taylor, Tex., and found him to be a white man blackened. No arrests. Mrs. John Roberts, who entered her room unexpectedly, was shot by her husband, who took her to be an intruder. She was hit in the shoulder and hopes are expressed for her speedy recovery. THE MAN'S PRAYER.

COLORED WAITERS PLAN NATIONAL CONFERENCE Hotel Men from Every Section Will Probably Meet This Summer. SITUATION IS ALARMING—HEAD OF WAITERS' PROTECTIVE LEAGUE SAYS SIMILAR CONDITIONS EXIST IN MANY OTHER CITIES — WANTS CO-OPERATION. New York.—Owing to the wholesale discharge of colored waiters and the substitution of white help, a state of affairs that is being viewed with alarm by colored waiters throughout the United States, a national conference of colored waiters will most likely be held some time this summer, when the situation will be discussed minutely and plans adopted to bring about better conditions. Since the publication a few weeks ago that the colored hotel men of New York were regarding seriously the situation in New York city in which 300 were put out of the hotels and restaurants of Manhattan in 1911, colored waiters in various sections have been corresponding with each other relative to getting together for the mutual good of all concerned. The colored hotel men of New York are heartily in favor of the holding of a national conference this summer as are the waiters of Kansas City and other western cities. Referring to present conditions is the following letter from S. C. Jordan, president of the Waiters' Protective league in Kansas City, Mo.: "Having read the article regarding the situation of the hotels in New York city toward the negro waiter, I beg to say that similar conditions are spreading rapidly west, north and south. We are endeavoring to establish a National Negro Head Walters' and Side Walters' congress, and with co-operation of the Hotel Proprietors' association, we hope to establish a standard of service by which we can classify the service, thus making a more harmonious relation between the proprietors and servitors. We would appreciate your encouragement of our movement through your paper and would be glad to establish an agency in New York." The officers of the Weiters' Protective league are: S. C. Jordan, president; George W. Hall, corresponding secretary; W. R. Garett, treasurer; Edward Hudson, chairman of benefit fund; D. H. Collier, manager; L. A. Knox, attorney at law. OWN MUCH PROPERTY NEGROES PAY TAXES ON $34,022,379 WORTH OF REAL ESTATE IN GEORGIA—STATISTICS SHOWING PROPERTY RARE IN THAT STATE. Atlanta, Ga.—The assessed valuation of property returned for taxation by negroes in Georgia, in 1911, is $34,022,379, as compared to $32,234,037 in 1910. The year's gain was $1,788,342. These figures and many others equally as interesting regarding the property holdings of the state's colored population, are contained in statistics just compiled by Capt. Tip Harrison, in charge of the tax department of the comptroller general's offices. The 1911 tax digests show that 119,871 negroes paid poll taxes, and that 4,685 defaulted. Included among the property owning negroes are seven lawyers, 16 dentists, and 133 physicians. The number of dogs returned for taxation by negroes is 54,926. They own 1,639,919 acres of improved land, with an investment valuation of $10,358,653. Their city and town property is taxed at $9,615,604; stocks and bonds, $1,700; money and solvent debts, $237,214; merchandise, $240,444; household and kitchen furniture, $3,249,203; watches, silver plate and jewelry, $41,979; horses, mules, hogs, sheep, cattle, etc., $7,931,264; plantations and mechanical tools, $1,648,897; value of all other property, $377,479; value of property of defaulters (single), $319,955. ROUSELLE NAMED SECRETARY. Richmond, Va.—Grand Master Floyd Ross has appointed Maurice Roussele of Washington, D. C., permanent grand secretary to fill the vacancy made by the death of J. Frank Douglass. Mr. Roussele, who was in the government service for 23 years and a late member of the board of directors of the order, has already assumed his new duties. He is a graduate of the Thirteenth street school in New York city. Grand Worthy Master Ross is making an excellent record, having organized 39 fountains since February 5. The order has collected and disbursed over $65,000 in death claims. NOT THE PROPER WORD. "Did you send Mr. Dresser the samples he asked for?" inquired the tailor. "Yes," replied the clerk; "I'm just finishing our letter to him. I'm just sending it 'Trusting to have your order'." "What! Cut out that word 'trusting' and make it 'hoping.'"—Catholic Standard and Times. VICE IN CHICAGO NOTED SOCIOLOGIST SPEAKS TO LARGE CROWD AND TELLS NEGROES TO PROTECT THEIR GIRLS AND WOMEN—DISCRIMINATING LAWS IN WINDY CITY. Chicago, Ill.—Dean Sumner, the noted sociologist and chairman of the Vice Commission of Chicago, addressed a mass meeting of negroes held under the auspices of the Western league, organized for the protection of colored women, at the Odd Fellows' hall. Among other speakers was Mrs. Cecilia Parker Wooley, the staunch friend and social settlement worker among colored people. Dean Sumner, after an introduction by Father Massey of the St. Thomas Episcopal church, immediately plunged into his subject: "How to save our colored girls." He stated that the subject of vice was not a race question, and he disliked very much to discuss it along those lines, but it is very evident that the moral conditions in Chicago and many others warrant immediate steps to eradicate vice and change the moral situation among the colored people. He gave in detail facts and figures showing the abominable conditions existing in Chicago from segregated vice. According to police regulations there are districts set apart for the practice of prostitution, and it is generally located in colored neighborhoods. Consequently, those who will not submit to their families being surrounded by such intolerable conditions are forced to move into more desirable neighborhoods; and those who are unable to avail themselves of this opportunity—which seems to be their only alternative—are compelled to remain with their young girls and children of a tender age, completely immersed in an ocean of vice and corruption of the most degrading sort. In one segregated vice district there are 1,475 colored children, and besides coming into unavoidable contact with the lowest and most degraded kind of prostitutes, thieves, robbers and murderers, they are permitted to frequent these resorts and run errands for the inmates. Such conditions are outrageous, intolerable and should not be permitted for a moment. Upon these facts Dean Sumner laid great stress, stating that such conditions would not be tolerated by white people for an instant. Moreover, there is a law upon the statute books of illinois which prohibits white girls or women from working or acting in any capacity as a servant in a house of prostitution; while colored girls and women at any age beyond sixteen are permitted with the greatest of freedom to work as servants, he said. "The Everleigh club alone employs fifty-two colored servants, many of them girls and women. Is this right? Shall this crowning shame of the age be allowed to continue? Go unreubaked, unchecked without a vigorous protest from our leading colored citizens to the public authorities, the mayor, city council and the state legislature? There is no doubt but that such a law in substance is just and equitable. But where is the justice and protection to human morals in such a law as this? It is manifestly unjust, discriminatory, class legislation and therefore unconstitutional. It should be amended or repealed. "For the leaders of the race to supinely submit to the continuance of such a law, is an obvious resignation of their inherent rights and privileges of citizenship." TO ORGANIZE LAY MEMBERS. Wilberforce.—During the session of the A. M. E. general conference, which will be held at Kansas City, President W. S. Scarborough of Wilberforce university will call together all the lay members and form a permanent organization to do the work of the church and discharge the duties of the mission to better advantage. President Scarborough thinks that there are many perplexing problems aside from electing men to office that both laymen and clergy will have to wrestle with, that to do this work and do it well they shall have to consider long and wisely the needs of the connection and the best measures to be adopted whereby the interest of the church may be best conserved. He says it is the duty of the laymen to express themselves in unmistakable tones in regard to the many measures coming before the general conference, and especially as to the men who will be elevated to the Episcopal bench, as well as to the men who will be chosen to fill other offices. DIPLOMATIC COMPLIMENTS. Francis I. Madero, president of Mexico, is a small man and somewhat sensitive on the subject. Not long ago Madero and his cabinet were photographed. Abraham Gonzales, secretary of state, is a very tall man and stout, and he was required to stand next to Madero when the picture was taken. Madero lifted his eyes to the top of the head of the great Gonzales, observed the difference in stature and coughed slightly. Then he said: "I feel that my size will not show to advantage unless we are seated." "Your Excellency," replied Don Abraham, "if you could only stand on your wisdom we should all be dwarfs." "Well said," Madero returned, "provided you did not stand on your courtesy at the same time."—Saturday Evening Post.

THE CRUEL WAR IS OVER. Nobody can fathom the mysteries of politics. The public mind is so complex that the wisest of political prognosticators at their best are mere guessers. Yet political results usually follow the course of true reasoning. To shape the public mind is the work of statesmen and great political leaders. Even with a great principle to fight for, and able candidates to lead, no element among voters can wisely be neglected. The advice of a fool is often worth having, especially in politics. Narrow minds are responsible for many great disasters, but the truth comes to light only when the cruel war is over. Now let us all get together and do some thinking.

THE POLITICAL EQUILIBRIUM Politics locally has been warm for the past few weeks. The campaign was short but spirited. Every political short cut, trick, scheme and invention was resorted to get votes, wires were pulled, machines operated, combinations effected, alliances entered into, in order to secure votes. Now that the end has come and the people have shown their preference, let us accept the verdict cheerfully and all turn and boost for Denver. Every loyal Coloradian likes Denver though they sometimes differ as how to best serve her interests, yet be well assured of this fact, that upon one thing we are all agreed and that is this: That Denver's interest is the interest of us all and that Denver's interest must and shall receive our first and best attention. Therefore let your motto be: "A strong boost and a boost altogether for a Greater Denver." TOO MUCH PRAISE. Most people like to be praised, no doubt, but Colored people think that they are slighted and wronged if they are not constantly given effusive credit and praise for what they are pleased to consider astounding progress and surprising capabilities. It is a common trait with us to profess all the capabilities of other men and other races, while declaring those capabilities handicapped and thwarted only by the unjust and overwhelming opposition of the prejudiced elements about us. The conviction that we are quite up to the test in any fair contest is a dangerous conviction, to say the least, for it gives birth to the resulting assumption that it is unnecessary for us to go to further trouble to make our claim doubly good and absolutely incontrovertible by overcoming the things which so unjustly restrict us. The only real triumphs of a people are those which are attained through a hand-to-hand struggle against opposing circumstances and which establish and emphasize an irresistible character before which all unjust and all unreasonable opposition must give way. Progress, which is but an upward drift, as a relative portion of another and a greater progress, is not substantial progress, like that which is gained by a life and death struggle against hostile conditions. We have not yet learned the subtlet and more tragic side of life which knows no excuse to offer for suppression or failure. Mere commercial or social progress is not racial progress in the concrete, but they are borrowed assets, which we must pay back or surrender. True progress is original and independent, and relies upon nothing but the inherent daring and self-sufficient power of the people. See how the white man is battling to conquer the air. Life after life is being sacrificed in scientific daring, yet there is no limit to the hosts of willing volunteers. By such desperate effort the progress of the Caucasian race has become an example for mankind. The Black race is but an infant race, but it has these supreme measures to attain before it can consistently boast of its capabilities, or even dream, with complacent satisfaction, of a measure of progress upon which it may reliantly rest.

In many of the sensational divorce cases reported in the newspapers a correspondent is named, with dates and places. The judge hears the case and a decree is given. But is the correspondent to a divorce suit not a criminal if the trial judge finds the allegations true? Is not the one who has broken up a home, robbed another of that which is most precious and sacred, a worse robber than a burglar? Then why are the guilty ones not prosecuted after being found offenders in a divorce suit? Stolen articles can be replaced, but homes ties and peace of mind never. Why Allow Guilty Persons to Escape?

Proper Training of Working Force Assures Future I believe that false teeth are one of the elements in modern times which contribute to shorten life. That is one of my pet hobbies, and although I am often laughed at for holding such an opinion, I believe it is correct and I will tell you why. A man rarely needs a set of false teeth until he is nearing fifty at the earliest, and he usually manages to get along for perhaps eight or ten years before that on a few natural teeth. He is getting old in the meantime, and finding himself hampered by inadequate teeth. He must perforce forego many ar- I possess the same fluency and command of German and English, but possibly I can use the English just a trifle more readily as I converse in it oftener than the other, which is my native tongue.

TESTIMONIALS: Gentilemen; 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.

Throughout the South meetings are be- ing held to take charge of the great advance which that section will un- doubtedly make after the completion of the Panama Canal and after great plans now being formulated are car- ried out. ‘There was recently held in Nash- ville, Ten’., a meeting of the South- ern Commercial congress. At this meeting every conceivable subject hay- ing to do with any feature of southern progress—farming, dairying, poultry raising, deep waterways, civic _im- provement—was discussed fully. About the same time a meeting of the South- ern Educational conference was held in the same place, at which meeting ambitious plans for the educational development of the South were dls: cussed and set in operation. There has now been called to meet in Houston, Texas, a convention of southern commercial secretaries. ‘The call for this latter meeting contains among other statements, the follow. ing “The spirit of the New South ts upon these leaders of progress and their concerted efforts have done more for’ the South during the past few years than has been accomplished in all the history of the past.

In this enlightened and progressive age, it seems disheartening to see men who have had all of the opportunities afforded by the college and university for enlightenment devoting their time and strength to trying to “throw mud” and to pull somebody down instead of trying to help somebody up. | There is a class of so-called college men who seem to think It a part of ‘their duty to try to weaken every movement ‘that has for its object the progress of the negro race. They stand off at a far distance and “throw stones.” ‘They very* seldom do any- thing to build up an individual or work in the direction of constructive prog- ress. Their whole idea seems to be to “throw mud." This attitude we are glad to say Is only assumed by a comparatively small number of college men and that number is growing beautifully less every year. For the most part, the men and women who are coming out of the colleges and univérsities are exhibiting a broad and generous dis: position to hely lift’ somebody up and to help construct something.

WATSON OF BISHOPVILLE IN LETTER TO COLUMBIA (Ss. C.) STATE 3UGGESTS REFUGE FOR THOSE WORN OUT IN SERVICE AND PLEDGES $100 TOWARD A $100,000 INSTITU TION FOR THEIR CARE AND COMFORT. ‘We haye read with a great deal of interest the timely article in The State of our good negro friend, the Rev Richard Carroll, suggesting a monu- ment to the faithful slaves who pro- tected the properties of thelr masters far away in the war between the se tions, guarding the homes, the lives and the safety of the master’s wives their daughters and their little help- less children. “Too much praise can not be given the faithfulness of these humble people to recognized duty. But while we approve of the worthy spirit which promptetd Carrol Ito direct the attention of our people to the appar- ently neglected privilege or duty of proper acknowledgment of the great debt we as a southern people owe the one-time guardians of our homes, still we can not agree with his suggestion that the erection of a cold marble or granite monument the most fitting are the most humane method of express- Ing our lasting obligations. Our suggestion as a substitute ts that a refuge or home be speedily pro: vided for the indigent, the poor, old. worn-out slaves, and that it be located centrally, in or’near the eity of Colum bia, supported by endowment, created by grateful warriors, their wives, daughters and the sons of veterans That these worthy old subjects, both male and female, “uncle” and “auntie,” be sought out throughout the confines of our borders and that they be im pelled to permit themselves to be ad ministered to in their old age and n firmities. We suggest that such an in: stitution be governed by a board of dl- rectors or trustees competent and in sympathy with the plan, and that a worthy matron and superintendent be elected to have charge of the home, and that they be properly assisted by trained nurses and other help not pro: vided by the. beneficiaries of the home What more fitting memorial could we sons and daughters erect to the mem ory of our distinguished ancestors than by bestowing blessings upon our “prother in black?” I consider {t one of the greatest privileges of my lift to contribute $100 as a nucleus for a $100,0vy hospital or home for the aged the decrepit, the infirm, the indigent who gave thelr youth freely in our service, SOME REASONS. Let me enumerate a few reasons why a “memorial home should be founded for the slaves of our ances- tors: Are there any more truthful stories related by the historian or the warrior in his reminiscences than the ofttimes heroism of faithfulness dis- played and devotion to bis master by his slave valet, who bravely, or from fear and sense of duty, worked within range of bullets, watching his master’s movements, often carrying him wound- ed from the battlefield, administering to his needs until the arrival of the surgeon, and then tenderly nursing him back to convalescence? Few races have ever been placed in the position of having to produce substance of war- fare, protection for the homes, body- guards for their masters, while their owners were on the battlefield, in ef- fect fighting for their continued bon- dage. Would many people of other bloods have stood his crowning test of faithfulness? The history of the southerner, the slave-owner, though fighting for his rights of secession, nevertheless, meant continued —bon- | dage, continued servitude, continued legal subordination. Their faithful- negs, though counter to their apparent Interests, will ever remain to true southerners one of the bright recollec- tlons of that period of awful struggle. All honor then to “Uncle Jerry,” “Aunt Mandy,” “Mum Nana,” “Unele Alex,” “Aunt Hannah,” “Mum Martha,’ “Mum Julia” and thousands of others, black ‘tis true, but no disgrace; thank God, | for their humble and devoted service, | faithful and constant, will ever abide in the hearts of the best southern peo- | ple. Yet our gratitude has until yet | not assumed form, although we have | had nearly hatf a century to wake up to our obligations and responsibilities. A few more years and the opportunity will be forever buried. What is to be done must be done quickly. ‘The angel voices are tenderly and softly calling “Old Black Joe’ to join “the realm above.” Will you, comrade, sons and daughters of the bravest people on earth, help to make “Uncle Joe's” last days more comfortable; will you see that he does not want for bread or suffer for clothing, or endure pain for the lack of medical attention? I pause to thank God for his messen- ger, the Rev. Richard Carroll, 2 worthy son of his race, who has 1n- spired the expression of gratitude in our hearts for his neglected ancestors, our former slaves. The contemplation of the good relief that may yet be done is quickening to the point of ac- | tion. ; NEEDS OF OLD NEGROES.

Some heartless and depraved human beings who call themselves men are credited with the belief that the ne- gro has no soul. I'd a thousand times rather take the chances of many a@ good old “black mammy” than any such white man, and I positively as- sert that if there are no such “black mammys” in heaven then I for one, don’t want to go there. In the thrilling accounts of the great deeds, herolc endurance, the matchless bravery of an unconquered people, where is the poet or the paint- er or the historlan who has suitably portrayed the herolsm and the faith- fulness of the oli ex-slaves of the sonth? Within the next 90 days the writer of this appeal will be installed in Co- lumbia as cashier of the new People's bank of Columbia and will be delight- ed to co-operate with the white and colored people through the state to formulate plans to raise funds to bulld a home memorial in or near the cap- {tal city to suitably provide for the “old black mammys” and “daddys,” the ex-slaves of the south, and to this end I hereby subscribe and donate the nucleus of $100.

The HILL WE HELD for HOOKER BY JOSEPH MILLS HANSON E'D formed our guns for action, for they'd started on the right Where Sykes had bumped on Jackson and their lines had clinched at sight, While we waited there for Longstreet, who never missed a fight. An aid-de-camp in shirt sleeves came lopin' up the hill, "You hold this line for Hooker!" he yells at Captain Bill, "And mind you hold it longer than you did at Gaines's Mill!" Old Captain Bill made answer: "You boys must have your fun, But we didn't break at Gaines's till all you chaps had run, And we'll hold this hill for Hooker while we've men to work a gun." We pounded 'em to jelly, but the jelly wouldn't jell— The powder scorched their faces but they took it like the shell. And then they reached our muzzles and tumbled through pell-mell. It seemed we'd best be goin', with bayonets so near, When through the woods behind us, there rolled a roarin' cheer, And Captain Bill yelled, "Hold 'em! That's Hooker almost here!" We fought between the sections just like a game of tag; A Johnny jumped my field gun and waved a battle flag But I lammed him with the gun swab and dropped him like a rag. And were pivoting our pieces to teach us our own trick, When Hooker's boys came through us, deploying double-quick. The Johnnies hung like bulldogs and faced us breast to breast, But Longstreet's men were winded, while Hooker'd had a rest, And when the smoke had lifted we Yankees held the crest. And Hooker stopped to thank us, and then said Captain Bill: "They thought we couldn't hold 'em, but, General, here's your hill— And I'd like to ask Jim Longstreet if we're quits for Gaines's Mill!" —St. Louis Globe-Democrat. MORE than fifty years have passed since the North and South took up arms to begin the war which Secretary Seward had declared could not last nine days. President Lincoln's first call was for 75,000 volunteers, and Jefferson Davis sent agents abroad to purchase 10,000 stand of arms. In 1861 that was as near as public opinion on both sides came to grasping the magnitude of the coming struggle. "It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us, that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion; that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have dled in vain." Present Generation Also Has Its Duties UCH will be written and said of the march to the rhythmic beat of the muffled drum of the decimating phalanx of war veterans in honor of whom, MUCH will be written and said of the march to the rhythmic beat of the muffled drum of the decimating phalanx of war veterans in honor of whom, and more especially in honor of those comrades who have passed to eternity, the day has been set aside as a memorial. All honor to the soldier dead. Sacred is their memory. Great honor to the veterans who have been spared to us and whose presence should be an inspiration to better citizenship. Tremendous was the cost of the war in human lives. Awful was the carnage, yet the result was a united nation and a greater nation. The patriotism which inspired the great outpouring of troops in that wonderful war should be a central idea about which everything should cluster because it burns with patriotism. It was the most wonderful demonstration of self-sacrifice for a nation's solidarity and honor the world has known. It was a glorious achievement for principle, and every participant in that magnificent victory deserves more than a floral wreath upon his grave, or, if he be yet with us, more than a laurel wreath upon his brow. Certainly we do not honor the veterans as we should! One thing we should do to honor them, among others. We should seek to mold our lives into good citizenship inspired by those very principles for which they fought. Thus may we become the heroes in time of peace that they were in the dark years of war. Today, as the old bugle blows its solemn and impressive taps over the graves of the soldier dead, let us honor their memory in action by making that inspiring taps a revelille-yes, a call to arms in the war against greed and oppression. Memorial day! Citizens, contemplate its true meaning. Honor the soldiers! Pay tribute to the heroes! Bow in honor before them, and be not unmindful of the duty which devolves upon you as one among many to whom those heroes of war have handed down this magnificent commonwealth as a heritage with its great duties and tremendous responsibilities. Recall the Days of Sacrifice Fifty Years Ago M It was little else than an armed mob that went streaming south in the early days of the war; it was little else than an armed mob that met those recruits, and the first battles were little else than heroic scuffles. But presently when the hurrah stage was passed and the sections had settled down to the grim business of war, there emerged from the chaos of camp and drill ground the finest armies that ever shook a continent with their tread. And out of the first doubtful trials and experiments with political generals, lawyer colonels and adventurer captains, there came the foremost military leaders of the age—Lee, Grant, Jackson, Thomas, Sherman, Sheridan. The raw recruits who had scrambled out of the way of the bounding cannon balls on the field of Bull Run grew into the seasoned veterans who coolly pinned tags bearing their names to their shirts when they went to death against the "Bloody Angle" at Cold Harbor; who stormed the fire-spitting heights at Fredericksburg and took part in the murderous fighting at Gettysburg. The more than 2,000,000 soldiers called to the tented field half a century ago are but a corporal's guard. Their marching line is thinned to file leaders and color bearers, a specter army of white-haired men that once a year, on Memorial Day, keeps step to the shrill of the old fife and the tap of the muffled war drums. Today the worn blue line, closed up over the gaps made in it by another year, again is marching to "the bivouac of the dead" to pay tribute to the fallen comrades. And beside it marches the worn line of gray. These are the reminders to a new generation of that gigantic struggle that was fought out for the sake of ideals; of ideals on either side for which men freely laid down their Hives— Memorial Day By Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., jurist, was born in Boston, Mass., March 8, 1841. He received his education at Harvard university, where he received the degree of A. B. in 1861 and LL. B. in 1862. In 1886 he received the degree of LL. D from Yale. In 1890 he received the degree of O.L. from Oxford. He served three years in the 20th Mass. volunteers as lieutenant and lieutenant colonel; was wounded in the neck at Antietam, Sept. 17, 1864, and in the foot at Marye's Hill, Fredericksburg, May 8, 1863. He was admitted to the Massachusetts bar in 1867, became professor of law at Harvard, and was associate justice from 1882 to 1899; chief justice from 1899 to 1892 in the supreme court of Massachusetts and associate justice of the supreme court of the United States Dec. 4, 1902. (From an address before John Sedgwick Post No. 4, G. A. R., Keene, N. H. May 30, 1884.) OMRADES, some of the associations of this day are not only triumphant, but joyful. Not all of those with whom we once stood shoulder to COMRADES, some of the associations of this day are not only triumphant, but joyful. Not all of those with whom we once stood shoulder to shoulder—not all of those whom we once loved and revered—are gone. On this day we still meet our companions in the freezing winter bluwacs and in those dreadful summer marches where every faculty of the soul seemed to depart one after another, leaving only a dumb animal power to set the teeth and to persist—a blind belief that somewhere and at last there was rest and water. On this day, at least, we still meet and rejoice in the closest tie which is possible between men—a tie which suffering has made indisoluble for better, for worse. When we meet thus, when we do honor to the dead in terms that must sometimes embrace the living, we do not deceive ourselves. We attribute no special merit to a man for having served when all were serving. We know that if the armies of our war did anything worth remembering, the credit belongs not mainly to the individuals who did it, but to average human nature. We also know very well that we cannot live in associations with the past alone, and we admit that if we would be worthy of the past, we must find new fields for action or thought, and make for ourselves new careers. But, nevertheless, the generation that carried on the war has been set apart by its experience. Through our great good fortune, in our youth our hearts were touched with fire. It was given to us to learn at the outset that life is a profound and passionate thing. While we are permitted to scorn nothing but indifference, and do not pretend to undervalue the worldly rewards of ambition, we have seen with our own eyes, beyond and above the gold fields, the snowy heights of honor, and it is for us to bear the report to those who come after us. But, above all, we have learned that whether a man accepts from fortune her spade, and will look downward and dig, or from aspiration her axe and cord, and will scale the ice, the one and only success which it is his to command is to bring to his work a mighty heart. Such hearts—ah me, how many!—were stilled 20 years ago; and to us who remain behind is left this day of memories. Every year—in the full tide of spring, at the height of the symphony of flowers and love and life—there comes a pause, and through the silence we hear the lonely pipe of death. Year after year lovers wandering under the apple boughs and through the clover and deep grass are surprised with sudden tears as they see black velled figures stealing through the morning to a soldier's grave. Year after year the comrades of the dead follow, with public honor, procession and commemorative flags and funeral march—honor and grief from us who stand almost alone, and have seen the best and noblest of our generation pass away. But grief is not the end of all. I seem to hear the funeral march become a paean. I see beyond the forest the moving banners of a hidden column. Our dead brothers still live for us, and bld us think of life, not death—of life to which in their youth they lent the passion and glory of the spring. As I listen, the great chorus of life and joy begins again, and amid the awful orchestra of seen and unseen powers and destinies of good and evil our trumpets sound once more a note of daring, hope, and will. Patriotism. You cannot analyze it. It is subtle, but it is true. It often "sleeps like the lamb, but roused from its lethargy breaks out with the strength of the ion." Never was patriotism more subime than in the soldier of '61. $25.00 COLONIST FARES FROM 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.
