PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADVERTISE IN THIS PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY ELECTION AND AP- POINTMENTS VOL. XVIII. ELECTION POINT However little we may appreciate it, we must congratulate the Citizen's Party upon their victory, the magnificence of which is unparalleled in Denver's political history. While it is difficult to reconcile ourselves in advance to the probability of an administration composed of men of all political persuasions, representing diversified notions of Government from anarchy to Democracy, crystallizing their efforts into harmonious and successful action; we must wish them well for Denver's sake. By some strange conception or mysterious influence many Negroes were persuaded to vote the Citizen's ticket. Hoping that in same way they might be renumerated for their support and service, we made the best of a bad situation. Mr. Arnold pledged his administration to the people irrespective of party, race or faction. All the positions worth while have been practically awarded, and we representing approximately one twentieth of Denver's population, are the possessors of the proverbial "sack." Yet our last act should be to inveigh against a situation which we ourselves have created or help to create. Four years ago we helped to elevate to power the Democratic party whose accession meant the summary removal of all colored officeholders including five colored clerks, which positions had been created by the Republican party. This consideration alone from the Republicans should have solidified the Negro support in the last election upon that party. That the element supporting the citizens ticket and crying "Arnold" the loudest was unquestionably antagonistic to Negro interest and elevation, was an oft repeated prophecy of your humble servant. The 5000 applications for the 1500 positions, those being elevated to power, are certainly ample testimonials to the truth of the above prophecy. We seem to have lost the only prominent position left to us—the License Inspectorship which the colored "Arnolites" claim was assured them. The only consolation which seems to cheer the colored "Citizen's Brigade" is common to us all: viz the relegation to the po- litical junk heap of such odius negrophobist as "Crowbar" Geo. Collins whose favorite pastime was discriminating against Negroes at the public Auditorium; "Bathhouse" John Torpey who used his position at the Public Bathhouse to humiliate Negroes at every given opportunity, and several others of their ilk. The present situation brings home lessons which we should have long since learned: First, there is no reason and very little excuse for shooting off on tangents in pursuit of strange political saviors. In Colorado particularly we have the Republican party from whom we can reasonably expect consideration. It matters not whether this recognition is commensurate with our support since it is certainly more than we can secure elsewhere. In politics especially, we need never expect more than we demand. If we support candidates or tickets where we can demand nothing, nothing is what we must expect. Under our system of government, politics has become such a potent factor in its conduct that it is as absolutely essential with us as other races, to carefully and cautiously analyze candidates and policies, determine how they affect us and then cast our ballot to our best advantage. If we do this we will be casting our lot nearby a unit as the same conditions that affect one, affects nearly all. In unity only can we develop the force necessary to accomplish the desired results. Let us benefit by our unfortunate experiences and earnestly endeavor to devise ways and means to improve our political condition. It is only by concerted action and pulling together that we can demand respect and recognition. Only when we shall have develled a more practical faculty for organization and learned to recognize clean and competent leadership will we be conceded the consideration to which we are justly entitle. So Similar. "Yes," said Nagget, "a woman usually treats her husband as the average servant treats bric-a-brac." "Go ahead," said the wise Mrs. Nagget. "What's the answer?"

State Hist & Nut Hist Biosci State House HANTS WE ADC THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORAD INTERVIEW BY PHILIP B. STEWART Fighting Phil. Stewart, of Colorado Springs, has started the state talking since his hat hit the ring. In a recent interview given to the Gazette of that city he employs this language, which will sound like a strange tongue to the people who have been fooled so often by politicans and political promises: "We must get away from these platitudes," he remarked. "By this I mean that whenever we go before the people commending or condemning a proposition before them we must be sure of our ground and then our campaign can be made invulnerable. The people are looking to the logic of things these days and platitudes and promises do not possess the hallucination they did in days gone by." And back of this statement he is placing the hard cash and his time and carnestness. A corps of trained investigators are looking up every phase of the laws to be initiated or to be voted upon by the people this fall. If "jokers" appear in the bills as placed before the people for their signatures or their votes, he proposes to show up these delinquencies. And it is already hinted that sensations will follow some of the disclosures to be made in the drafting of one or two now circulated for signatures. Every detail of state management is being gone into thoroughly with the admonition that no expense is to be spared in procuring the positive and irrefutable facts. The machines will not "put anything over" during this campaign. The question of the reapportionment of the legislative districts of the state, so that the inequalities of the past may be done away with, is attracting Mr. Stewart's attention, as he regards this as one of the vital issues before the people, indirectly involving legislative decisions, because, under the present apportionment the machine has arranged it so that the senators and representatives from one or two of the cities of the state practically control the legislation for the entire commonwealth The data already compiled would fill a large library, and the work has only well begun. The requirements of eveay state institution, the condition of state finances, and every feature involving efficiency in state government is being gone into carefully, so that the time comes he will be loaded for a fire of facts that will set the people thinking. Such a course is unusual in the history of Colorado politics, but is one of the Stewart characteristics. He is calm and mild-mannered on subjects with which he may not be familiar, but the method he possesses of going ahead when he knows he is right will electrify the people of the state during the com-campaign. Before another month has passed, his representatives will have covered every county in the state familiarizing themselves with the requirements, conditions and causes for complaint. With an array of facts of this character he will go armed for the fight in every section of the state. Hundreds of letters and telegrams are pouring into headquarters in the Gazette Building at Colorado Springs encouraging him to keep the fight going, and some of these carry the assurance that Colorado will smash the machines the same as Denver did, and elect him Governor by a majority without parallel in the history of Colorado politics. NINTH CAVALRY WINS POST BASEBALL CHAMPIONSHIP Cheyenne, Wyo., June 5.—In one of the fastest games of ball ever witnessed on the Fort Russell grounds, the Ninth cavalry team, for many years champion of the army, defeated the Eleventh infantry team with which it was tied for the first time in the Fort Russell league. Each had won five and lost one game, the colored men having defeated all teams except the infantry. The Eleventh started with two runs in the first and the Ninth tied the score in the third. The eleventh forged ahead three runs in the fourth and the Ninth tied up the game again in the seventh. With the opening of the ninth the cavalry was one run to the good, but the infantry tied the score in their half. The colored men came right back and with one on, McClair poked out a home run. Final score: Infantry, 7; Cavalry 9. Hits: Infantry, 10; Cavalry, 14. Over 2,000 people witnessed the game. The cavalry team wins the post championship and a large sum of money. 150 NEGRO CHIDDREN Baltimore, Md., May 29:—Cardinal Gibbons preached to a large congregation at St. Barnabas Catholic Church Sunday afternoon, following the confirmation of 150 children. His Eminence advised his hearers to practice in their daily lives the Golden Rule and to shun those evils that are prevalent in a large city. Rev. Rev. Charles R. Uncles was among the priests within the altar. Rev. C. A. Evers is partor of the church. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES The educational foundation by John D. Rockefeller, endowed with $30,000,000, recently appropriated $35,000 for Hampton, Tuskegee and Spellman at Atlanta, Ga., and $9,000 to be used for supervisors of Negro rural schools in Kentucky North Carolina and Virginia. Nearly $1,000,000 was given away. The South benefited largely. Washington, D. C., is rejoicing this week over its new $100,000 Y. M. C. A. building. Julius Rosenwald gave $25,000; John D. Rockefeller gave $25,000; the colored residents of Washington subscribed $27,000, of which they paid $24,000. The white Y. M. C. A. paid the balance. W. Sydney Pittman was the architect. The building was put up by Negroes. Minneapolis, May 24—By a vote of 557 to 38 more than was necessary to elect, the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal church today elected as bishop W. P. Thirkield president of Howard University, at Washington, D. C. He was the eighth and last of bishops or general superintendents to be named by the present conference. The eighth biennial meeting of the National Association of Colored Women will convene at Hampton Institute, Va., July 23-27, 1912. Miss Elizabeth C. Carter of New Bedford, Miss., is president. The women who will meet in Hampton, Va., will come from the North, South, East and West and will tell what their clubs have done during the past two years to lift humanity and make the world better. It is expected this will be the largest meeting held. --- The Negroes of Oklahoma have recently organized old line Life Insurance Company with headquarters at Muskogee; and have deposited with the State Insurance Commissioner bonded securities to the amount of $100,000. Mr. R. Emmett Stewart, a prominent attorney of Muskogee, is the president of the company. Dr. W. P. Brown of Greenville, Mississippi, is owner of the majority of the stock of the company and will doubtless become the resident company in the near future. Kansas City, Mo, May 28.—An effort was made by Bishop W. H Heard, who at the last general conference pledged himself to go to NO 39 West Africa and remain there for twelve years, to be recalled home only on the ground of ill health. The effort was a persistent one both in the Episcopal Committee and in the General Conference, but the consensus of opinion was that the bishop's appearance and energy did not warrant the step which he desired. By way of augmenting the funds of the missionary department it was decided, after much discussion, to give the department 8 percent of the dollar money to be equally divided between the home and foreign work. This it is supposed will add to the funds of the department about $20,000. Gary, Ind., May 27.—By stopping the Chicago New York limited train on the Pennsylvania Railroad before it reached a burning bridge, Miss Edna Johnson, a 16 year old colored girl probably saved many persons from death. Miss Johnson was crossing the bridge which spans the Calamet river at the outskirts of the city. She discovered it on fire and in the distance she saw the smoke of a rapidly approaching locomotive. Hastening down the road she stood in the middle of the tracks and waved a basket she was carrying, and the engine driver brought his train to a dead stop within a few feet of her. The flames were extinguished by the trainmen, and when the train resumed its journey she was showered with silver coins for her bravery. --- One of the most notable instances of business progress and success is the Hygenic Manufacturing Company of Kansas City, Kansas. It is one of the largest manufacturing concerns in the United States, owned and controlled exclusively by Negroes. The principal owner and manager is Mr. Anthony Overton, North 3rd Street. They manufacture a baking powder, food and toilel extracts of various kinds. Mr. Overton employs several persons. Besides traveling on the road himself he has three or four other salesmen covering Oklahoma, Texas and parts of the South and Southeast as far as Georgia and Florida, selling his products at wholesale to merchants only. He started business about twelve years ago with less than one thousand; but today Mr. Overton has a rating in Dun's and Bradstreet's directories of $30,000 to $40,000. 4 BRIEF RECORD OF PASSING EVENTS IN THIS AND FOR- EIGN COUNTRIES.

According to John J. Argo, engl- neer for the incorporators of the new company, no one connected with the Denver, Northwestern & Pacific is af- ‘fillated with the men who have pro- ‘moted the scheme, but it is considered logical that the line will ultimately b~ ‘purchased by the Moffat interests.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Heroism {s always sublime and no finer illustration of that was ever wit- nessed on this earth than was exhib- {ted by hundreds of men and women who were on the ill-fated ship, Titanic. ‘There were the musicians who, mak- ing no effect to saye themselves, con- tinued playing to revive the spirits of others until thelr Instruments were filled with water and their music was hushed forever. They played “rag- time,” military music, waltz music— anything to keep up the courage of the passengers. The conduct of the men in giving the life boats to wom- en and children, rather than take them themselves was great, Among the steerage passengers—that {s, “the common people”—there were far dif- ferent scenes. There was praying and weeping. Men trampled down women and children in order to save themselves. Why this difference in conduct in the presence of death? An- other heroic figure that loomed sub- lime was that of the captain. Amid scenes of confusion and imminent death he remained calm, resolute, ef- ficient to the last. After seeing that all the women and children had been provided for, he relaxed the discipline, commended the men for having done their duty so faithfully and then did the only proper thing to be done— committed suicide. If theer are de- grees in greatness in a scene where greatness was the rule, the palm for that quality must be awarded to Phil- Up, the wireless operator. This man clung to his machine and continued to send C. D. Q. and S. O. 8. messages till the last. He was not deterred by the fact that hundreds of men were rushing by him each trying to save ali, Tt was in vain that the captain relieved him of further duty. The op- erator seemed oblivious of everything save that high sense of duty. Seeing that he would not quit, his assistant thoroughly fastened a life belt on him —this was subsequently stolen from the devoted operator. This hero was 1.ter on found strapped to a piece of floating timber, and dead. ‘The most compact and powerful of the negro churches is the African Methodist Episcopal church. Its mem- bership has grown from 42 members in 1787 to 200,000 members in 1876 and 494,777 members in 1906. It is governed by a board of bishops, fifteen to eighteen in number, over whom the senior bishop, at present the Rt. Rev. Henry M. Turner, presides. ‘The church has 7,000 local organiza- tions, with property worth over $11, 000,000. It raises about $2,000,000 a year; of this about $800,000 goes to pastors, $200,000 to bishops and pre- siding elders, and the other million to schools, missions and general ex- penses, There are two publication houses, weekly papers and a quarterly maga- zine and some publication of books. The church supports over forty schools, of which the largest and old- est {s Wilberforce university, in Ohio. ‘The church, however, is chiefly note- worthy on account of its board of Dishops. These bishops are elected for life by a general conference meet- ing every four years. The member- ship of the general conference con- sists of ministerial and lay delegates; the clerical delegates are elected from the annual conferences, one for every thirty ministers. Two lay delegates for each annual conference are select- ed by the representatives of the offi- clal church boards in the conference. Thus we have a peculiar case of ne- gro government, with elaborate ma- chinery and the experience of a hun- dred years. How has it succeeded? Its financial and numerical success thas been remarkable, as has been shown. Moreover, the bishops elect- ed form a remarkable series of per- sonalities. Together the assembled bishops are perhaps the most striking ‘body of negroes in the world in per- sonal appearance: men of massive physique, clear-cut faces and undoubt- ed Intelligence. ‘The negro race cannot afford to in- duige in the luxuries and extrava- gance that the very rich of other na- tionalities do, and hope to overtake them in accumulating wealth, power and influence. They have had centu- ries for accumulation. They can. in- dulge in luxuries of all kinds, wear extra fine clothing, have all of the lat- est styles of the expensive fabrics; engage in all kinds of amusements; eat the richest and costliest diet, be in expensive operas and constantly trav- el extensively, and still have an abund- ance of money and other resources to draw upon, but when the negro tries this for a little while he 1s “satiated.” ‘Wisdom and common sense would say to the negro “Live within you means and not up to the limit of your means.” It matters little how fine the mate- lal or costly the goods may be-ff a suit of clothes do not fit a man he will look bad with that sult on. And the more attractive the material, the more undesirable attention will the, misft attract. Better by far ts it to have clothes of most ordinary material and have them to fit. Now what 1s true of clothes is in- creasingly true of degrees. In fact, a ‘man makes of himself a legitimate object for ridicule when he attempts to wear a degree which is entirely too large for his mental attainments. Yet how many negro preachers there are who are wearing the degree of D. D., which, to them, {s an intelectual mis- fit, Now {t 1s known, or ought to be known, that no man can rightfully lay claim to such unless he be a ripe scholar and shall have, by the writing of a thesis or a book, made some orig- {nal and recognized contribution to the realm of theological thought. But how alarming {s the deficiency in scholarship, to say nothing of the oth- er necessary qualifications. And when will negro preachers learn that, though they may valse enough money tq buy the coveted degree, they can- not possibly raise enough money to buy the brains necessary to make the degree a fit? The breaking of the levees of the Mississippi has called forth negro heroism more than once. The special mention given to the colored men who stopped the breaking levee at Greenville, Miss., 1s evidence of the heroism of the negro under special and exceptional circumstances to which the entire history of the coun- try bears record. This single instance gains prominence because of the number which participated and may not be cited as the only instance of ex- ceptional devotion to the best inter- ests of the locality. The instances of sacrifice may be multiplied many times and doubtless will when the story of the rising waters of the Mis- sissippi is fully told. It is to be re- marked that the negro has never been backward in rendering whole-hearted service to the south and its people. During the last war when the ‘white men were at the front fighting valor- ously for a hopeless cause the negro was tolling at home to feed the army which fought for his continued en- slavement and not a single breach of trust! has been charged to him. ‘Through the years of freedom to the present the attempt to cast every slur imaginable upon him has been met with a patience and fortitude une- qualed fn the annals of the world. The negro has proved his case, has vindicated the inherent nobleness of his character and is just now groom- ing for a great place in American life. All he wants is a chance—a man’s chance. _ Two striking cases of negro heroism came to our attention this month. A dispatch from Greenville, Miss., saya that a human dike composed of sev- eral hundred colored men kept the levee from being destroyed for an hour and a half until the sand bags arrived, One of the men killed in the Jed mine, near Bluefield, W. Va., was Ted Swaley. A local daily paper says: “This name may not mean much to some people, but to the miners who re- call the explosion at Farm on the first of last August {it will mean a great deal. Ted Swaley was the hero of that explosion. Alone he worked his way through the confined workings of that new mine, and, crawling on his hands and knees, crept to where six snconacious men lay dying for need of help. One by one he rolled them on ‘his back and dragged them to the ‘bucket at the foot of the shaft, and then went to the surface with them. Assisted by John Moore, also colored, who carried a safety lamp, Swaley went back four times into the depths of the mine, and it was due to his courage and bravery that six men were taken out, five of whom came out alive. Swaley continued at min- Ing, because it was the only trade he knew."—The Crisis. We must not make the ‘titles “Pro- fessor” and “Doctor” too common. Every man who has seen inside of a school room as a teacher for a few months or who has preached a few times and thinks he {s “It” should not be called Doctor or Professor. These honorary titles will soon become meaningless {f so used. Ripeness of scholarship, real depth of knowledge and mastery of certain subjects, broadness of research and wideness of experience along the in: tellectual lines are the things that really entitle men to such honors as Doctor and Professor. ‘We are constantly meeting men bearing these titles who are by no means able to measure up to what the titles signify. Giving such men these titles is like putting good and fine labels on spurious articles in jars, cans, boxes, etc. They don't tell the truth. The pure food law makes {t a penal offense to do this. Isn't {t about as bad to put these false labels on men? Leguminotherapy 1s the latest scien- tific diet, and the name of it {s suff clent to'give a healthy person indiges- tion. It is the name of a vegetable diet by which the exact relations of each vegetable to the human system are determined. They will have to change the name ff they earnestly de sire the diet to become popular. Green peas, string beans, carrots, onions and the like, may not be good for some people, or one of them may not be, but to have to tell them to legumin- otherapily {s out of the question.

Los Angeles, Cal—Special—Never before in the history of this section of the country has there been such @& keen and substantial interest in negro education manifested on the part of the represeniative people of both Taces as was evinced by the eloquent young educator, Dr. James B. Shepard, president of the National Religious Training school, Durham, N. C., dur- ing his recent tour through the west. He has the distinction of being the sec- ond civilian to address the famous Ninth cavalry; the late Bishop Grant being the first. This notable stop at Fort D. A. Russell, Wyoming, was quite an event in the annals of this well known military center. The largest auditorium in the town was packed to hear him speak to the cav- alry on “Life.” Chaplain and Mrs. Prioleau, Lieut. B. O. Davis and wife, and Bandmaster Wade H. Hammond were among the prominent ones who gave the young educator a significant reception. At Chicago, Des Moines, Denver, Salt Lake City, and San Fran- cisco this apostle of a religious edu- cation for the negro and the harness- ing of his emotions to the extent that he will become a well rounded citi- zen, was accorded an ovation, and the “Shepard idea” has made him the cynosure for the eyes of the progress- ive Westerners, He arrived here accompanied by his field secretary, Professor Charles Alex- ander, and during his stay of five days he stimulated the most pronounced ac- tivity and appreciation for the educa- tion of the negro than the most en- thusiastic friend of the negro had @x- pected. He addressed about 2,000 peo- ple in the Pasadena Presbyterian church, which is the richest church in southern California. A fine type of citizenship greeted him wherever he spoke, and was entertained by social events of an uplifting status. In de- livering a sermon to the influential congregation of the South Park Pres- byterian church, this city, he was very forceful and eloquent. He especially emphasized the fact that the proper education of the negro race in Amer- ica was that of the heart as well as the head, and that missionaries should be taught to redeem the dark conti- nent as well as to do social settlement work in the large cities of our own country. At the educational mass meeting in the Wesley M. E. church (white) be was again accorded an unique ovation. Distinguished men of both races were present and con- conspicuous among them were Dr. S. Hecht, rabbi of the Temple B'nai Brith; Dr. Dana W. Bartlett, Mr. D. B. Luther, general secretary of the Y. M, ©. A.; Mr. J. L, Edmonds, editor and publisher; Col. Allen Allensworth, founder of the negro community at Al- lensworth, Cal. Upon this occasion he proved conclusively that religious training was the most essential phase of education for the lowly masses. Rabbi Hecht, Colonel Allensworth and others favorably commented in a brief speech upon the scope and effective- ness of Dr. Shepard’s plans and work. He addressed the Colored Y. M, C. A. and caused much enthusiasm. The prominent Afro-Americans of this city accepted every opportunity to give due homage to the character and most excellent work of Dr, Shepard One of the most brilliant social events that has ever taken place among the Afro-Americans .here was the banquet tendered Dr. Shepard by 50 of the lead- ing business and professional men, Mr. Robert Owens, the wealthiest negro in the state, and Dr. McCoy were fore- most in promoting the social events and tendering the educator every hos- pitality they were capable of accord- ing him. TOO MUCH TO GO THROUGH. A lawyer picked his way to the edge of the subway excavation and called down to Michael Finnerty: “Who's wantin’ me?” inquired a large, rawboned voice. “I am,” said the lawyer. “Mr. Fin- nerty, did you come from Castlebar, County Mayo?” “I did.” “And was your mother named Mary and your father Owen?” “They was.” “Then, Mr. Finnerty,” said the law- yer, “it is my duty to inform you that your Aunt Kate has died in the old country, leaving you an estate of $20, 000 in cash,” ‘There was a pause and a commotion down below. “Mr. Finnerty,” called the lawyer, ‘craning his neck over the trench, “are you coming?” “In wan minute,” sald Mr, Finnerty. “I just stopped to lick the foreman!” For six monthe Mr, Finnerty, in a high hat and with hard shoes on his feet, lived a Ife of elegant ease, try- ing to cure himself of a great thirst. Then he went back to his job at one- seventy-five a day, It was there in the excavation that the lawyer found him the second time, “Mr, Finnerty,” he said, “I've more news for you. It is your Uncle Ter- ence who's dead now in the old coun- try; and he has left you another twen- ty thousand.” “I don't think I can take it,” sald Mr, Finnerty, leaning wearily on his pick. “I'm not as strong as I wance was; and I'm doubtin’ if I could go through all that again and live!" NO COLOR-LINE IN MERIT GENERAL LAND OFFICE AN EL DO- RADO FOR WORTHY COLORED WORKERS. Washington, D, C.—The formal ob- Servance of the one hundredth anni- versary of the establishment of the general land office, a highly important bureau of the department of interlor, brings it conspicuously into popular Notice, not only because of Its valued functions as the “real estate director” of the United States government, but Decause of the good things its chief official and his sponsors have done for the uplift of the worthy negroes shel- tered benath its wing. The sky under which colored men live is often so dark and lowering, and the rewards of merit are so mea ger, that many of the race have come to believe that justice to them from members of another race {s not to be expected. As an antidote to this frame of mind, {t is pleasant to relate the record of Hon. Fred Dennett, com- missioner of general land office, in Washington. There are seventeen classified employes of the colored race in the land office, and during the four years of Mr, Dennett's incumbency, ten of these have received promotions. Charles E. Cheatham, of North Car- Olina, an expert stenographer, who en- tered the service in 1908, has been promoted through all the grades from $900 to $1,000, and fs now in the office of the secretary of the interfor at a selary of $1,620 per annum; L. M. Her- shew, of Georgia, who had been a file clerk for a number of years, at $1,400, has been promoted to $1,600 and as. signed ‘o examine desert land claims. Other notable promotions are W. W. Coliran, of Mississippi, $1,000 to $1- 200; James A, Davis, of Tennessee, $1,000 to $1,200; David W. Utz, of Ala- bama, $900 to $1,000; Charles L. Webb, Of Illinois, $900 to $1,000; Samuel H. Webb, of Virginia, $720 to $900; Benja- min S. Stewart, of the District of Co- lumbia, $720 to $840, and Gabriel Fletcher, of Maryland, $600 to $720. In addition to these promotions, Ed- ward H. Hunter, of North Carolina, who resigned to enter the ministry, and is a candidate for one of the gen- eral offices of the A. M. B. church, was given the position of law examiner at $1,600, the first colored man who ever held such a position in the classified service, and Sampson H. Brent was classified as a skilled laborer at $660. While this 1s not a promotion in sal- ary, {t is°a promotion in grade and tenure, Commisstoner Dennett makes the merit system of promotions mean what the term implies, namely; that those who show capacity for and per- formance of assigned tasks are re- warded according to ability and per- formance. The pigmentation of the skin and ethnological alignment are not factors which enter into the es- timate of qualifications for advancé- ment. He has a fixed, unvarying- standard of justice, and applies it to all, having no thought as to race, po- sition or substance. He {s calm and undemonstrative, indulging in neither professions nor flatteries nor patroniz- ings when dealing with members of the colored race. ‘A colored clerk who had been pro- moted to a high grade, went to Mr. Dennett to thank him for his promo- tion. The commissioner's reply to the clerk’s expression of gratitude was: “You owe me no thanks. I had you assigned to a line of work that would show what you could do. You made good, and that’s all there is to it.” ” “BLACK PERIL” INQUIRY COLOR QUESTION CALLS FORTH A PROMISE OF PREMIER BO- THA TO APPOINT A COMMIS- SION TO STUDY THE SUBJECT. Capt Town, Union of South Africa — The color question was brought prom- inently to the front by the promise of the premier, Gen. Louis Botha, made im parliament, to appoint a commis. sion to inquire into the “black peril” problem. The question has been in- creasingly attracting attention in South Africa in consequence of the frequent asaults made upon white women. THE SPECIALIST. The eminent specialist looked the patient over. “Yes,” he sald, “what you need is a gradual gain in muscular tissues. Go at it slowly. Commence by lifting a ten-pound weight. Add to this from time to time until you can raise fifty pounds with comparative ease. Then come to me again.” ‘The patient hesitated. “I guess,” he said, “you aint’ get- tin’ me quite right.” ‘The specialist frowned. “what do you mean by that?” he demanded. The patient still hesitated. “Why, you see,” he sald, “I'm the feller that carries th’ trunks down- stairs an’ heaves ‘em Into th’ transfer company’s baggage wagon!” THE PARSON'S HOPE. “And how {s your mother?” inquired the parson, who was making a paro- chial call at the home of one of his wealthy parishioners. “She is in her room, up-stairs. She Is very ill,” replied his hostess. “You don’t say so!” exclaimed the clergyman, whose tact was not always reliable. “Well 1 sincerely hope that she will soon be down and out.”—Judge. TOO MUCH RACE PREJUDICE PREACHED BY SOME NEGROES ee ere ae eee tree coe ae a ae et fs, to put it mildly, a most damnable occupation. And yet it is a fact, an awful fact, that the dorminant polltt cal leaders, in the south today, fo1 the most part, have gained thelr as cendancy through and by such per micious teaching. As we have said before, we now repeat that “if the devil has any legitimate children on ‘earth it 1s they who preach the doc trine of race prejudice and, by so do ing, they serve well and truly thelr father.” Race prejudice retards progress— Individually and collectively—is _hos- tile to the quality and character of our civillzation—is an assasinator of the spirit of Christ—and damns the soul in this world and in the world to come, For the mental and spiritual attainments, {t 1g more to be feared and dreaded than are the diseases of smallpox, consumption and yellow fever for the body. But—and we do hate to have to confess it—there are many, very many negroes who, while denouncing most blatantly this evil practice in white people are nevertheless as guilty as, or even more guilty than the most bombastic jump-jack white poll- ticlan seeking public office and hor ing, in the absence of mental or moral qualifications, or both, to attain the desired end by imflaming the baser passions of the white people ‘against the negroes, And the negroes thus guilty are not politicians. For negro politicians in the south are either non- entities or historial relics’ of days that were. No, the negroes thus gail- ty are heralds of the cross—ministers of the gospel whose duty it 1s, or ougat to be, to preach “The father- hood of God and the brotherhood of man"—“Loye ye one another’— “Peace. on earth, good will towards men"—and the like How often do we hear these so- called race leaders, in distinctively negro gatherings, when no white peo- ple are present, or are expected to be, deliver themselves of such pernicious ly insidious statements as these: “All the groceries I buy are bought at a hegro grocery store.” “Every suit of clothes 1 wear 1s made by a negro tailor.” “I read only negro newspa- pers.” “No literature {s allowed in my Sunday school and no hymn books or Bibles are used in my church except those produced by and in our negro publishing house.” Let us in soberness reason just a little together: Leaving out of con- sideration, for the moment, the re- ligious phase of the question of race prejudice, let your imagination assert itself and suppose with us that the white people, as a whole, should carry their race prejudice as far as these so-called negro race leaders would have the negro race to carry Its race prejudice as a whole—in other words, suppose white people should go to equal extremes and take advantage of thelr advantages over the negroes, Is any prophet needed to tell what dire consequences would ensue? If white men would be shaved only by white men what would many of our negro barbers do? If white men should decide to wear no clothes ex- cept those made or cleaned by white men, how many negro tailors or ne- gro pressing clubs would go out of the business to re-engage in it no more forever? Were white women to de- cide to wear no garments except those made by white women, how many worthy negro seamstresses dependent upon their labor for a lyelihood would at once become unable to be self-supporting? Were white people to decide to rent farm lands to or buy farm products from white farmers only, what would negro farmers do? If—but why continue? Is it not evi- dent to the thoughtful negro that white people as a whole, can the bet- ter play this game of race prejudice which these unwise leaders of the negro race are striving to have the negro race, as a whole, play? And yet while we must admit that the white /man—especlally the southern white man—has carried, and is carrying, “his race prejudice too far, yet we ‘humbly thank God that even the southern white man has not carried It as far as the unwise negro leader would have the negro to carry It— Southern Ploughman. 1 BATHROOM NOVELTIES, | Every year something new appears In the way of bathroom accessories. Decidedly new this spring are glass ‘twisted towel rods with nickel-plated ‘brackets in colonial design. The twist- ed glass prevents the towels from slip- ping off the rods, as so often happens with plain glass rods. Another new fixture, which will be found useful in a small bathroom where it is impossible to have a sta- onary washstand, is a basin and soap holder of rather heavy wire, white en- ameled. This holder is made to span the bathtub from one side to the other by means of a heavy wire extending out on each side. Both ends of this wire are nickel plated and made very strong where they clasp the sides of the tub. The whole arrangement has an extension feature which enables It to fit any width bathtub. A white enameled manicure table with glass top over oak, will be found convenlent for elther dressing room or bathroom. This table is finished with nickel rims, At one end {s a quar- ter circle drawer, in which may be ‘kept the various mantcure instru: ments.

We reserve our comment upon the political events of this week until we have had time to give proper consideration to the men and issues that have now been brought to the front. There is a fight ahead this fall which calls for some keen generalship, and we wish to do our full duty to the colors under which we sail. WHO IS WHO? The surest way for Republican politicians to divide the colored vote is to arbitrarily set up a dictator over them. No individual can speak for the colored voters without an organization behind him of honest merit and strength, authorizing him to be its mouthpiece and the people's representative. A dictator in Colorado would be about as pleasant a thing as a dictator in Hayti is known to be. If the politicians want to set the colored people by the ears, let them continue to ignore the complaints that arise from sound and sensible political organizations. One Great Need for Many Large Cities By J. R. PRICE, M. D., Chicago WANTED-A NEW DEAL The politicians of Colorado are shuffling the cards for the annual game of Old Sledge. It is a multi-handed game and we all have our legs crossed under the table and are watching with expectation the deft manipulation of the slippery pack. There are some old-time experts in the game and we are a little anxious about the face value of the allotment that shall be thrown down in front of the Negro. Heretofore we have had too many spot cards in our assortment and have caught the Joker all too often. We are a little inclined to think that it is not altogether chance that has thrown the short end of the deck our way, and we are watching, with no little disquietude and suspicion, the swift movement of the dealers' little finger. All we ask is a square deal and a straight deck, sleeves rolled high and all movements above board. The Negro proposes to play his own hand this year and wants his cards dealt to no pretentious substitute. In the past the politicians have had a good thing of it with the Negro, although our portion of the stakes has been just as valuable as that of any other participant in the game. It is not unnatural, therefore, that we are calling the hand of the man behind the deck and demanding a new deal. We prefer to play on the Republican side of the game, but we want the cards that belong to us. We don't want a short deal. We don't want to be considered the last man in the game. We don't want our hand played by any cringing servant of the politicians. We don't want any sleight-of-hand performances by which the colored man may be hoodwinked out of his honest share of the stakes. For the colored man is not in politics for the sole purpose of saving his own life nor for the purpose of insuring the life of others more capable of taking care of themselves. Value of Cement Mortar as Iron Saver By JOHN R. HOWLAND ELIMINATING THE NEGRO The political force which the Negro might exercise in the United States has never been developed along the lines which would tend toward his greatest good, because of reasons which the groping intelligence of the Negro has not given him ability to master. The long continued dominance of the so-called race issue in the South has served to keep the white people of that section in unrelenting political enmity to him, and has deprived him almost entirely of participation in political affairs of every description. The unnecessarily bitter aspect of this proscription practiced in the South and kept at the point of highest tension by politicians who have thus found a way to perpetuate their own personal rule, has created the feeling among the unrestricted Negro voters of the North that the liberties of the race everywhere in the nation were in danger, and for this reason they have voted just as solidly and persistently for interests which seemed to be in opposition to the growth of national power among their Southern persecuters. The white people of the South and the black people of the North have thus devoted themselves to single political ideas, with results differing only in the superior relationships of one over the other. The white South has sacrificed that higher political development which is common to other sections of the country, and has remained in the rear of other sections industrially and commercially. The Negroes of the North have deprived themselves of all wider political experience because of the supposed necessity for clinging to one unchanging line of battle. Out of this long sustained condition is growing the belief that the Negro case is a useless and unnecessary source of political controversy between the white people of the nation. While politicians, both North and South, have been the chief beneficiaries in the maintenance of this unnatural condition of stress and passion, and the idea that the development and substitution of a new system, whereby the Negro, or race question, shall be ignored politically, is slowly taking root among the white people of both political parties, North and South. Habit of Obeying Dictates of Honor and Duty By DR. CHARLES W. ELIOT The outward forms of justice do not keep the white people from ruling, wherever they will, because of their superior intelligence and experience. Other than political interests will preserve in their hands complete control. This is the new idea. And it is shared by the leading advocates of the oncoming regime in both of the great political parties. The necessity for the development of new and independent thought on the part of the Negro is becoming greater and greater. Upon his ability to grow and to adjust himself to changing conditions must rest his security from being shifted from one dependency to another. THEY'RE PICTURES THE SEASONS MASTERPIECES 38.

Most of those old but prized recipes had been hand All the Latest Shapes and Styles. ed down from one generation to another.

The old motherly practice has disappeared, but I find the same simples are used by our most intelligent physicians and kept for sale in most drug stores. Dandelion, tasy and pokeweed are often prescribed for the same disorders that our mothers prescribed them. Oh, no, not by the old names, but under certain cabalistic characters, which the chemist understands, but the reading of which would sound learned and potent to us laymen, if patients. I have often seen near Garfield park, on vacant lots, in masses of sweet clover, many of these medicinal plants, also in the gardens and waste places on the outskirts of the city. The CAPITOL BREWING COMPANY These same simples are the bases of most of our best cough and vegetable compounds, but instead of being made from good American plants they are generally manufactured from costly imported products. Why? Because the city man out of a job does not realize how money is planted under the roots of these plants; because the boy or girl living in the suburbs does not know how to recognize these plants except as weeds and has never been taught when to harvest them. Many of them are pests, but still they are money-producing things if one knows how or when. T. H.

In childhood and in youth it is of the utmost importance to appeal steadily and almost exclusively to motives which will be operative in after life.

KNEW SOMETHING ABOUT IT Modest Appearing Man Proved He Had Right to Criticise Youthful Art Student. An art student was copying one of Abbott S. Thayer's paintings at the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art one day, when a plainly dressed man who looked as if he might be a mechanic approached and, posting himself at the young man's elbow, watched him as he labored over his subject. "You've got the angle of the mouth wrong, and the left eye is too oblique," remarked the man decidedly. The student blinked angrily and the hand that wilded the brush trembled slightly, but he took no notice of the unsolicited criticism. "There is too much yellow in your flesh tint," continued the man "Still no reply from the student, who ostentatiously slapped on more yellow in the high light on the nose. "Did you hear what I said?" questioned the man. "Yes, I heard," responded the student wrathfully, turning and glaring at his modest looking critic. "What do you know about it, anyway?" "I ought to know something about it," was the smiling response. "It was who painted the picture." Wigwag—I wonder why it is that some men seem born to command and yet never quite fulfill our expectations?" Henpeckke—Maybe they get married. "He always comes back from a funeral looking refreshed." "Why so, do you suppose?" "He probably compares himself with the deceased, who can't come back." "Mamma, this Turkish candy! splendid. How's it made?" "Mercy, child! Don't try to find out!"

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.

MURRAY OF SOUTH CAROLINA. by ex-Congressman Geo. W. Murphy of South Carolina, It bears the sub- title: “Effects, Cause and Remedy for Afro-American Troubles.” The book forms a profound psychological study of the traits, peculiarities, habits and customs of the negro in America. In order that this investigation into the genesis of our troubles may be studied by a very large number of people, we purpose to give a detailed review of same, and later on a crit- ical analysis of some of the author's inferences and conclusions. Our au- thor starts out with the proposition that In passing through two and a half centuries of training for the ben- efit of others the Afro-American de- veloped traits and tendencles at va- riance with Nature's laws, these traits, characteristics and tendencies being classed ns a disease. In order to establish the truth of this propo- sition, that the negro has traits and dispositions at variance with Nature's laws, the writer compares the negro —now in a secondary state of free: dom—with man in the original state of freedom; he compares the feelings and dispositions of the negro of to- day with those of man’not cursed by slavery or its effects. After defining the term “ideal” as being a man’s highest conceptions of persons, places, things or qualities, often unattainable but always destrable, the author lays down the proposition that in a state of natural freedom all races have their human Ideals, their highest con- ception of man, in themselves. And this finding of the {deal within the race forms the basis of race-pride, self-appreciation and _ self-preserva tion, and 1s seen not only in man, but in animals. To a lion no animal is as beautiful as a lion, nor is there any effort to make himself any: thing other than a lion, A China. man’s Ideal is a Chinaman. The In- dian’s highest conception of man ts an Indian, and so on with all races except the negro—he alone looks for and finds his ideal outside of his own race. As each race finds Its bighest ideals of man within ftself 1t paints, pictures and models man in the phys- {eal likeness of {teelf, {ts Wolls, its de- seriptions of man are all made to em- twdy the elements that make up this ideal. And, further, when men reach the point—and all races inevitably reach it—of avenging themselves on God for having made them In his Im age, they reverse the process, and in- variably picture their gods as having the same {identical qualities, linea ments, features, etc., as they them- selves have. And by a subtle proc- ess of idealistic exaggeration these gods are made to tecome nothing more than an expanded replica or shudow of the races that imaged them. ‘That {s, the Chinese god or angel is like the Chinaman, the Jap- anese is lke the Japanese, the Afrl- can’s like the African, the white man’s, is like the white man. The Afro- American alone of all races presents a radical variation from this natural law. He alone has and yearns to have a God, angels, ideals, dolls, ete., en- tirely unlike himself, And one of the surest ways of jolting his religious faith is to show him the picture of a black angel or a black god! A busi hess genius some years ago hit upon the {dea of selling pictures of a col- ored Christ to Negroes. A lady ac- quaintance of ours—a devout Chris- tian, too—saw one of these pictures of a black Christ and exclaimed: “If that is Christ, I'll pray no more!” Seeing, then that some mighty force has operated to differentiate the Afro-American from other races in the matter of fdeals, feelings, dispo- sition—differentiated him not only from other men, but has made him ashamed of himself and his kind, thus, reversing if not abrogating a law of Nature and of Nature’s God—the au- thor next seeks to determine the ex- tent of this variation from man in a natural state, and thus measure the depth of the disease, Like some great. surgeon exanilning with skilled fingers the body of a suffering patient, and saying to him, “Thou allest here, and here,” our author diagnoses with rare penetration the manifold weaknesses, frailties and ailments of the Afro- American, and what is more, gives their cause and remedy. In giving the symptoms of the Afro- American disease, the writer states that when a white man buys a doll or a picture embodying the Ineaments of his race, he does so with a two- fold object in view: to amuse his off- spring and to keep before its eyes such an {deal that will foster and develop pride of race, The Afro- American, unmindful of any similar purpose as the latter, buys a doll or picture as nearly like that of the white man as he can find, and In time the offspring begins to think there Is something wrong or degraded about itself, and begins to form ideals foreign to its own race. Photograph- make up in shirk for what he lacks in work, Hence in every community occupied by Afro-Americans the in- dustrial captain is white, unless a white man refuses to’be a competitor for the place. The idea merchant for the Afro-American is white, and he will pass by business places of another Afro-American, to give his patronage and influence to his {deal merchant, right in the face of the fact that the members of every other race, including that of his ideal mer- chant, are universally discriminating in favor of members of thelr own tribe and going out of their way to reach them. This causes all the profits from the patronage of the black man to be left with members of other races and results in giving to others the power to own the business community and to make those mem- bers the masters of the political and social world. The Afro-American’s ideal lawyer, doctor and other _pro- fessional men are white, and his deal man or women {8 the one who Is either white or near white. In our organizations, schools, dance halls, churches and other social gatherings preference is given to those who in complexion most nearly resemble that {deal. Such preference 1s most dis- tinetly seen In schools controlled en- tirely by Negroes, and where a wom- an applicant with a black skin is accorded about the same treatment as a pheasant hen finds among a gang of coyotes. When the man with’ a black skin reaches the heights, he does so by sheer force of brain power and unquestioned efficiency, and with no fortuitous aid from color—he riges not because of but in spite of his black face. The Afro-American’s ideal in the way of hair is straight, and he (or ‘hall we precipitate a riot by saying “she") is ransacking the earth and prizing up hell in order to find something with which to trans- form the hair given him or (shall we say “her”) by nature. With their ideals within their own race, all other people are “involuntarily drawn to- wards members of their own race; but having his ideal outside of his rece, the Afro-American involuntarily draws away from his race and volun- tarily to other races. The white man, observing this unnatural tendency on the part of the Afro-American to get away from himself, has very wisely drawn up sundry restrictions around his own race—certain “dead lines” and has said to the Negro: “Thus far and no further.” ‘The Afro-American finding all races fenced off :rom him, can not scale those bars, but he spends a great deal of time in peer- ing longingly through them. “Ac- tions, impelled by the diseased spirit, vhich is sesponsible for all these symptoms, have resulted in making the Afro-American a pauper, criminal, outcast and laughing stock, In de- stroying his influence, ballot and citl- zenship, In’ depriving him of all em- ployment in the economic world above that of menials and scavengers and in cheapening his personality and life.” Such and so many are the ef- fects and symptoms of the disease from which, according to our author, the Afro-American 1s suffering. In reading over them, we could not but recall the searching question asked by Macbeth of the physiclan attend- jag upon his ailing wife: “Canst thou minister to a mind diseased? Pluck from the memory a rooted sorrow. Raze out the written troubles of the brain, and with some sweet oblivious antidote cleanse the stuffed bosom of that perilous stuff which weighs upon the heart?" The answer given by the physician ts significant, and we think applicable to our case: “"There- in the patient must minister to him- self.” We have seen that the Negro has developed tendencies, dispositions. habits, customs, not traceable in men in a natural state of freedom, and differentiating him today from the members of all other races. This shows that some powerful and destructive external influence has wrought havoc with nature's law, and has inflicted incalculable injury on the Negro, inner or spiritual being. Instead of the spirit implanted by nature, there has been substituted and developed a spirit which despises the body in which it is placed, and the race with which it fs {dentified. And this distorted unnatural spirit is nur- tured in the cradle, continued in the home, encouraged in the church and finished in the schools and colleges. The result 1s, a being ashamed of, at war with, and incessantly trying to “steal away" from ftself. When the Negro was first brought to this country and thrown In contact with the white man, his {deal man, his highest conception of man, was in himself. He was not only too proud and self-respecting to be a slave, but eR av SORE TLS Ae AYE Nee a any one possessing a white face. The effect of this artful training 1s still seen in the Afro-American’s dispost- tion not to serve member of his own race; it 1s seen in thelr tendency to oppose the elevation of a member of their own race; it is geen in the lack of class or rank in so-called Negro society where the alley rat and the “sofled dove” from the gutter expect and are given equal recognition and honors with those who have never gone astray or been caught tn the cess-pools of vice and corruption! This breaking down of rank, and erasing of all marks of class was begun by the slave-holders for a pur- pose, and is continued today-—for a purpose by both secret order and church—the latter being ‘the most shameless and brazen sinner fn this respect. Her secred doors are equally open to maiden in her Innogence and purity, and to the woman who has spent half a tfetime, and who contin- ues her habitation, in the sewers, The latter is given a more cordial welcome if she has (and she geuerally has) the “goods” and is willing (and she fs usu- ally willing) to part with a goodly amount of same for the glory and honor of God—through and by the minister! ‘This systematic breaking down of rank, the destructioin of {deals and the wreckage of standards, had a fourfold result: ‘The white man had a higher opinion of himself and a lower opin- fon of the negro; the negro had a lower opinion of himself and a much higher opinion of the white man, “There is scarcely a white man in this country,” says our author, “even including ‘Tillman, Vardaman, and Dixon, who appreciates and honors the color of the white man on the one hand, and despises the color of the black man on the other, more than the Afro-American himself. He 1s as wild over trying to be white as Till man is over being white.” ‘The institution of slavery bunched all the dark-hued victims in the same condition and trained them to feel that they were all equal; It placed the ‘master class far above this condition, graded them round by round from peasant or “white trash,” to president, that each grade above remained a perpetual door of hope, emulation and inspiration to every white man in the one below tt. In the course of time and by a well- known law of psychology, known as the law of association of ideas, every- thing in the way of power, honor, vir- tue, Intelligence and magnificence be- came associated in the minds of both races with the white or master class, and everything in the way of poverty, ignorance, helplessness, ‘viclousness and degradation became associated with a badge of the black man, These feelings transmitted from generation to generation are existing in all their force in a large per cent. of negroes today, and where they do not manifest themselves so plainly in the remain- der they are, nevertheless, slumbering deep down In the heart and mind. It is seen then that as a result of this baneful training, both races support and oppose whatever tends to perpet- uate, or to eradicate the effect of this training. Under such conditions the black man gradually lost pride in himself, developed contempt for his race and color, felt that {t was honorable to serve a white man, and dishonorable to serve a negro, Hence the idea now prevalent that no one can do things, no one can know, no one can be, except he is white. During slavery days the ne- gro was trained to carry everything made on the plantation “to the big house” or master’s quarters, and re ceive In return sufficient rations to keep soul and body together to enable him to produce more, and when we recall his conduct today towards his own race in business we see that he is still guided by the same instinct— still carrying everything he can to| “the big house,” or some of its in- mates—Jew, Dago, Syrian, white man, anyone except to one of his kind. What is the effect of this unnatural policy? This policy of carrying every- thing to “de big house.” It 1s to make the people of “de big house” richer, more honorable, more powerful, and the people of the quar ters more dependent, more despised, poorer and more degraded. It gives to the former all that this world holds dear; it gives to the latter pauperism, criminalism, degradation, ‘The white man and the negro are’ each bent on keepling up this con- dition—the former as a business pol fcy, and the latter because by centu- ries of training he 1s built that way. Ephraim is joined to his idols and de Yoted to his white ideals, ‘The work of correcting this training, restoring these transferred Ideals, {m- planting a sense of self pride. is a a man fn business made independent by that patronage, has gone into other quarters, and put up the sign elther visible or invisible, but always effect- ive: “Negro patronage not wanted.” Query: What race, or what people are the prize asses of the world? NO MORE CHEAP COTTON FINANCIAL AUTHORITY STRONG- LY OF THAT OPINION. (From the Wall Street’ Journal.) Cheap cotton in the old sense of the word seems a thing of the past. In 1895 and 1898 middling uplands sold in New York at 5.62 and 5.37 cents, respectively; but it may be that In October, 1908, at 9 cents and in De- cember last year at 9.37 cents cotton was actually cheaper, in view of the changed conditions of production and consumption, than in either of these earlier years, All elements in the cost of produc- tion, including labor, interest on the land, depreciation of machinery and facilities, and expense for fertilizers, have risen rapidly; and at the same time the demand for cotton has grown so fast as to establish the price on a higher level, even if cost of produc- tfon has remained unchanged. Some of the factors tending toward higher prices may be here tabulated, In the first column 1s given the esti- mated consumption per capita; in the second the approximate interest cost of land devoted to cotton production, figuring the interest at five) per cent.; and in the third column is given an index number showing the rise in wages. Farm labor has risen in price to just about the same extent as other labor: 85 gi: 28 Bsa Ese . 3e Sone gee wie 855 7o< 25 1910 ......22.841bs. $2.97 207.9 1909 ......25.17 2.81 1975 1908 ......29.23 2.43 195. 1907 ......25.73 2.15 209.0 1906 ......29.02 2.31 192.6 1905 ......29.00 2.14 185.2 1904 ......27.42 2.03 182.4 1903 ......24.64 1.99 182.5 1902 .....,25.65 1.90 1iT4 1901 ......25.94 1.64 172.1 1900 ......22.57 1.57 169.2 1899 ......27.87 1.49 164.4 1898 ......25.76 1.32 162.3 1897 ......18.77 1.23 161.3 1896 .....,18.67 1.18 161.7 1894 ......16.45 1.31 158.9 *Bstimated. **Rough approximate based on census values, Any accurate estimate of the cost of the labor used in producing a bale of cotton Is impossible for many rea- sons; but assuming it to have been about $15.00 in the late nineties, the rise in wages indicates that it is now no less than 19.25, ‘The interest on land, buildings and machinery mean- while has more than doubled. Judg- ing from census returns, the average value of improved land in 1910 was about $60.00 per acre, as compared with less than $30.00 in 1898. At five per cent. this means an Interest cost of $3.00 per acre or $8.00 per bale at Present, against about $1.32 per acre or $3.50 per bale in 1898. Nor does this include added interest on build- ings and machinery. With the cost of production about 47 per cent. greater than in 1898, and with the demand per capita of popula- tion about 42 per cent. greater, it is not at all improbable that cotton was really cheaper last December than at any time in the nineties. SOWING COWPEAS. The ground should be prepared for the planting of cowpeas much as It is for corn. If one intends to use land that was in corn the year before, it should be disked as soon as it Is plowed, followed by more disking and harrowing every ten days or two weeks, according to the dampness of the soll, occasioned by rains This not only keeps a good mulch on the ground, but also prevents the weeds from getting a start. Seed the peas in late May or June, the method’ of seeding depending much upon the pur- pose for which the cow peas are to be used. ‘When the peas are intended for hay, the drilling should be thick, using about a bushel of peas to the acre. With smail-seed varieties the ordinary grain drill can be used to advantage. When the peas are grown for seed they should be planted in rows about 2%4 to 3 feet apart and cultivated fre- quently. Barly varieties can be plant- ed in the southern part of the corn belt to follow small grain or early potatoes. THE EGG BASKET. The old, old story of comfortable housing, proper feeding, and the well- filled egg basket, has been told and retold. Poultry on the farm is one of the easiest cared for products. Only a little time needs to be taken to give them a comfortable place to live; a Uttle more time to give them something to eat besides the ordinary corn ratlon—say table scraps, beef scraps or skim milk, together with small grain; just a few minutes each week to clean the house. Believe that they are a part of your assets. Make yourself think that the hens are interested in your farm business, and they will be the busiest helpers on the place. They will buy the groceries, help to shoo the chil- dren, and buy the Christmas presents for the whole family. But they won't do ft unless you help them.—Agricultural Epitomist.

A sandy loam, or almost pure sand, is good. The plants need not be set out till rather late, but have the soil worked up fine and clean. If you never have had good success with melons, try the use of well decomposed manure for the individual hills. Place some of the manure several inches below and on the surface. When the young plants come up and get started, thin to about three stalks to the hill, and watch them grow. Water when the soil is dry. A rapid and continuous growth with melons is discouraging to bugs and disease. Cultivate very clean till the vines begin to run. The common garden sage is a hardy perennial, yet it does best by resowing every two or three years. Give it a warm, fertile soil along the fence line. Every time you go among the fruit trees, remove unnecessary young sprouts and sappy growth from the trunks and larger branches. Undesirable growth, removed early, will leave no scars and the vitality of the trees will be saved. Soil for late potatoes should be plowed in the spring, harrowed two or three times to prevent escape of soil moisture, and again plowed and worked down fine before planting. The late potato crop goes into the ground at a time when much of the soil's moisture has been lost by summer evaporation; hence, all means must be taken to keep as much as possible of the spring moisture in the soil. Frequent and level cultivation will aid in this matter. Peppers are tender while young, but hardy later in the season, enduring frost in the fall without injury. For these reasons, the plants should not be set out till rather late in spring. Large peppers are mild; small ones are hot. The size and quality of the grape crop may be increased by clean and fine cultivation with careful removal of surplus growth up to fruiting time. All small fruits do better by conserving the soil moisture while fruits are ripening. Never be afraid of making the garden soil too rich with well decomposed home manures. Bone meal and nitrate of soda are good commercial fertilizers to use. Incorporate all fertilizer's well with the soil by disking or harrowing before planting. Always in transplanting cut off a part of the roots and top of each plant. Root pruning induces a better new root growth, and shortening the top lessens evaporation when the young plants are getting a start. A cloudy day with moist soil is the best time and condition for transplanting. A few plants can be handled safely in the evening when the sun is low. Avoid exposing the roots to the wind. Where transplanting must be done in dry weather, water each plant after it is set to settle the soil about the roots, and rake the surface fine about the plants to form a dust mulch for holding moisture. Raking the garden in dry weather is equivalent to watering it. Cultivate rhubarb, asparagus and other perennial vegetables as you do other crops if you would have large growth. Spading decomposed manure into the soil along the rows will stimulate growth. Summer mulching for this class of plants will aid in keeping down weeds and holding soil moisture. Plant parsnip seed in good soil, free from fresh manure, and cultivate for a long season of growth. This crop need not be harvested in the fall. The roots may be allowed to remain in the ground all fall and winter, digging them in the winter and early spring only as they are needed for use. Allowing them to remain, the open garden soil during the winter makes the roots more tender and better flavored. Celery plants should be started in a cool situation with moist soil and partial shade. I have found that a field that has been packed by winter rains or by pasturing and remains too wet for working till late in spring will begin to dry out nicely by giving the surface a disking. The soil, which the dicks turn up dries out quickly under the sun and wind, and after a day or two of drying the field will be in good condition for plowing or deeper disking. On thin land for oats or corn, disking and cross-disking are equal to a good plowing, and better in some cases. Where corn is to be planted more power should be used, more weight applied and the disks run deeper. If the soil can be disked six inches deep in the same time it is plowed to that depth, it is better to disk, as the soil will be ready for planting and in perfect condition with a harrowing for smoothing and leveling the surface. When plowing and harrowing or disking is to be done every available horse and mule should be in harness to make the work easy and move on rapidly. Some allow one team to remain idle while the other is pulling the plow. It would be better all around to hitch three or four of them to the plow for deeper working and rushing things for reasonable planting. Better work four horses eight hours of the day than two horses sixteen hours. It will be easier on the man, at least. ORIGINAL IN FOOR CONDITION NO YELLOW STREAK IN J. JOHNSON, SAY EXPERTS NO YELLOW STREAK IN J. JOHNSON, SAY EXPERTS DOPE ON PAST PERFORMANCES FAILS TO SHOW ANY QUITTING BLOOD BUT IT MAY BE SHOWN ON JULY 4. London.—Several times the question has been put to me, "Has Johnson a yellow streak?" There never was a colored boxer of note who escaped the suggestion of cowardice. The colored race have for tens of centuries regarded the white man as the ruling lord. Once get such an idea into your head, and you will surely find yourself battling against great odds to dispel it. Indeed, it is next door to impossible to break away from the fetish. So with the black boxers. They are, no matter how good, always fighting against the odds. Even when they are champions, they are fighting, not only their opponents, but history. Now, it's a pretty tall order for a poor weak-minded nigger scraper, isn't it? Yes, I think so. The negro has to fight the odds. This proves in the long run impossible. The prevailing idea of the white man's superiority is the one great factor that has broken so many champion boxers. Dan Creedon was the man to prove it against the Coffee Cooler (Frank Craig); Cribb dusted down Tom Moleneaux after a terrific fight about a century ago; Frank Erne, Terry McGovern and Battling Nelson all broke through against Joe Gans and made him a "has been." Joe Wolett, "the giant killer," was scared to death of Tommy West and Kid Lavigne. Dixon and all the others went the same way. Now, these men had all ben champions. They had gone from victory to victory without a halt, in some cases going for years without suffering a reverse. But in the end the tradition of the white man's superiority "got" them and made them quitters. In other words, they showed the white feather, or, as our friends in the states say, "the yellow streak." I make a bold statement now. Johnson is no quitter. I don't believe there is the shadow of a yellow streak in him. No prominent boxer has been so miscalled. No one has been more victimized. He is like the cur at whom everybody aims a swift kick. It is a vogue, a fashion. Everybody is so unoriginal that he just imitates his neighbor. One paper sets the fashion and all the others follow suit. But Johnson has done really marvellous things in the ring. Take his fight with Tommy Burns at Sydney. Burns was champion of the world. Australia is a white man's country. There they have no use for niggers. Yet they turned out to a man to see Burns vs. Johnson. Of course, they had an idea that Johnson would be licked, but when Burns "got his" they cheered Johnson, the new champion. Johnson certainly took a chance in fighting and beating the champion in such an aggressively white country as Australia. Jeffries was served likewise. Many of his ringers were desperate whites, who would just as soon pull a lead on a nigger as see him beat a white. Johnson is no fool. He knew this; yet he faced the music. Would you then stand by and hear him called a coward? I couldn't, and more, I won't. Give every man his due. "Render unto Caesar," etc. Johnson is no quitter. He's as game as was any white man, be he soldier, sailor, or simply a fighting machine But will he never show "the" streak? Ah, there you've got me. That I cannot foretell. It may be that one day he may find himself hard up against it, and then—well, who knows? He may then do exactly what his fellow blacks have done. NO NEGRO RACE YET IN THE UNITED STATES Kansas City, Mo.—As yet there is no negro race in America, according to Dr. C. V. Roman, president of a negro medical school at Nashville, Tenn. Dr. Roman was one of the speakers at a session of the African Methodist Episcopal general conference here. "The negroes are only beginning to be a race," said Dr. Roman. "Racial consciousness has been lacking, but the negro is finding himself. The material for a strong race is in him, but he faces the difficulties that every growing race has encountered—class prejudice and race prejudice. "It has been said the negro is dying out, but the race never was stronger than today. At the close of the Civil war there were 4,000,000 negroes in the United States; now there are 10,000,000." PULLS BABY FROM TRACKS AS HE DIVES FROM PILOT. Athens, Ga.—"Soap" Lockett, a negro fireman on the Georgia Midland railroad train No. 2, saved the life of a two-and-a-half-year-old white child, the daughter of John Potter, two miles south of Jefferson, in a heroic manner, the equal of which is seldom recorded. On a curve in a cut Engineer Tom Adair, running thirty miles an nour, saw the tot in the middle of the track ahead and put on the reverse, sand and emergency, but as he saw no hope, cried, "Lord, have mercy!" The negro fireman shot out the window along the running board, and leaped from the pilot beam, grabbed the baby as he dived and rolled off the track. The hind drivers stopped on the spot where the babe stood. MARINES LAND ON CUBAN SOIL GOMEZ, UNABLE TO COPE WITH SITUATION, ASKS FOR HELP. PROTECT FOREIGNERS GOVERNMENT HEAD POINTS OUT COMPLIANCE WOULD MEAN 1,250 OF BEST TROOPS. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Washington.—Frank confession of President Gomez that he was unable to meet the demands of large plantation owners in eastern Cuba for adequate guards against the marauders and insurrectos was the factor that led Captain Kline, commanding the United States naval station at Guantanamo, to set in motion the body of United States marines gathered there. Captain Kline's action in dispatching nearly half of his available force into the interior of Cuba gave the signal for the departure from Key West to Guantanamo of half of the second squadron of the Atlantic fleet. The facts as disclosed at the State Department are that several of the large American, British, French and Spanish companies operating plantations and mines in eastern Cuba telegraphed the Cuban government a demand for 100 regular troops for each of their mills and fifty for each of their cane fields. President Gomez pointed out that a compliance with their request would require the use of 1,250 of his best troops for the protection of one group of foreign properties. If he acceded to such demands, he said his whole regular army would not suffice for police work alone. Captain Klino, judging that the situation demanded the use of American guards, sent 450 marines by boat up Guantanamo bay to a landing near Calmanera, the terminus of the railway running up to the city of Guantanamo, fifteen miles inland.

Gives Mine Bureau Jurisdiction. Washington.—The House passed a bill which broadens the scope of the statute supporting the bureau of mines in such manner that appropriations may not be made extending the work of that branch of the government to the metalliferous mining industry. Complete latitude is given towards allowing the director of the bureau to conduct investigations that will lead to betterment of conditions in regard to all classes of mining. The measure prepares the way for the establishment of metallurgical and experimental assay stations. Washington.—The Woman's Christian Temperance Union of Whittier, by Olive J. Edwards, president, and M. J. Townsend, secretary, have sent a protest to Senator Work against the appropriation of $500,000 for rifle practice in the public schools. Federal Architect Resigns. Washington.-James Knox Taylor, supervising architect of the Treasury Department,' has tendered his resignation. Abington, Maas.—John L. Sullivan, the former champion heavyweight prize fighter, who some time ago decided to lead the simple life and settle down on his farm here, is ill and friends declare that his condition is critical. Cotton Tariff Bill Favored. Washington.—The Underwood cotton tariff reduction bill was reported favorably to the House by the ways and means committee. RACE PROBLEM MR. M. S. EVANS SEEKING SOLUTION FOR RACE PROBLEM IN SOUTH AFRICA. By V. P. THOMAS. Mr. M. S. Evans, an Englishman living in South Africa, is in the United States studying the race problem for the purpose of knowing, if he can, how much like the race problem in the United States to solve, should go about solving it in order to establish a system best suited to insure peace between the whites and blacks and to provide opportunities for both races to develop, unrestrained by race prejudice and the consequent race conflict said to be inevitable wherever two distinct races live in the same territory, along those lines of human endeavor each of the two races in South Africa might prefer to follow. Mr. Evans is trying to get first hand information regarding the complaints and grievances over the treatment of the negro people by the white people in the United States, especially in the southern states, from which section most of the complaints come, and to learn if the negro people are making the best of their opportunities under their present admitted disabilities. Mr. Evans has been in the states five weeks and has been making personal inquiries and observations in many places, and he declares that a good deal of the information which he has been able to obtain is to the effect that the negro complains too much of disabilities and does not avail himself enough of the many opportunities for bettering his social and economic condition which plainly lay all around him in the United States and especially in the southern states, where cheap lands are in plenty and his labor in greater demand than he can supply the demand for it. Mr. Evans believes that the negro should employ his wanted labor more diligently and not spend the earning of this labor so carelessly, but should apply it more wisely to the uses of land ownership, profitable commercial affairs and businesses among his own people. He feels convinced that the co-operative inclination among the negro people is far below the wise point, and that if they would stick more together and understand better the necessity of general race co-operation in the pursuit of race welfare, prosperity and progress, this course would soon undermine the foundation for many of their complaints and grievances. Mr. Evans says that some of the stories he has heard of the treatment colored people receive at the hands of their white neighbors in many parts of this country show cruelties that the average European would be unwilling to believe any civilized white man could ever allow himself to commit, and that if they are true, these cruelties must be ascribed to a moral standard and temper among the whites here that no European would find it in his heart to apologize for or condone. Mr. Evans does not take much stock in the returns made by the U. S. Census Bureau with respect to the number of homes and farms owned by the colored people, saying that he has not been able to obtain any satisfactory reply to the question he has repeatedly asked as to the amount of mortgage resting against these homes and farms returned as owned by the colored people. He believes that the negro is different from the white man in characteristics as well as in color of skin, and that no matter how much the negro may attempt it he can never be the man that the white man is by nature. On account of this belief, Mr. Evans thinks it is best for the negro and the white man alike that they should not try to live together on terms of equality in any place. The negro should be off to themselves in the United States with some good and conscientious white men to lead them and help them to develop the best that is in them as a race. A SURE ENOUGH SPORT. A St. Paul youth called up his sweet-heart in Chicago by long distance and enjoyed a little talk. The time slipped by and the rates slipped up. It was a pleasant half hour all right, but presently he came back to earth, and then a rapid mental calculation showed him he had talked $18 worth. But he was game. "What are you laughing at?" the girl inquired. girl acquiesced. "I am laughing to think that this little talk has cost me as much as a railway trip to Chicago and return." "Mercy!" screamed the girl. "Why don't you stop?" "Well," replied the youth, "I want to add enough for a parlor car each way. So they talked a little longer. "Just one more word," said the youth. "What's that for?" "Tips for the porters." Then he rang off.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. HER MOURNING UNLIMITED. Down in Georgia a negro who had his life insured for several hundred dollars died and left the money to his widow. She immediately bought herself a very elaborate mourning outfit. Showing her purchases to her friend, she was very particular in going into detail as to the prices and all incidental particulars. Her friend was very much impressed, and remarked: "Them sho is fine cloes, but, befo' heaven, what is you goin' to do wif all dis black underwear?"

The band of braid about the head is repeated in the facing and the edge {s finished with a puff of the rib- bon. The square crown is made en- tirely of braid and the crown is set on by means of a puff made of the ribbon. At the left side a short bridle of rib- bon, folded, is fastened to the frame with a small spray of little roses and terminates in a rosette of ribbon at the point over the ear. This is re peated on the right side and from these rosettes short ties extend, fas tening under the cheek at the left, in a simple bow of two short loops and ends, The ties may b? fastened on the inside at the same points; this will allow more flare to the frame and give a closer fit, if it is desired. Never was there so great variety to choose from in» children’s hats and bonnets, as are shown this season. But nothing is prettier than these, the simplest of designs made up of the materials and in the colors which have long been associated in our minds with headgear for little ones. | JULIA BOTTOMLEY. ONNETS of lace-straw and silk braids are shown, made up with light welght silks or ribbons, of high luster. Bright tones of blue and pink are used on many of them and tints of many colors in the soft and supple ribbons that form the trimming and sometimes part of the body of the bonnet. Fig. 1 illustrates a pretty combina- tion. A fancy braid in deep ecrue forms the body of the shape. A quaint finish at the brim-edge is made by over-casting a tuscan straw cord about it. The shape bends outward in a deep scallop over the ears and is otherwise plain, ‘The scant trimming consists of a wreath of small pink June rosebuds laid in the simplest manner about the crown. At the left side a very full chou of ribbon, made of smal! puffs set close together, complete the child- ish design. It is an adorable little model fitted to crown the straying curls or smoothly bobbed hair of little misses. It 1s worn without tles and fastens with an elastic cord under the hair. Fig. 2 shows another combination in which a silk lace braid ts com- bined with puffed ribbon to make the shape. Its foundation is a frame of fine silk wire.

It one intends to have a supply of summer foot gear in readiness before the hot months are actually here there are several things which should be done as soon as possible. Last year's shoes, which have presumably been put carefully away, should” be taken out of hiding and gone over with a cream that will clean and preserve the leather, then the cobbler should have a chance at these before the home repairs are attempted. A half- sole, a new heel lift, new buttons put on with patent fasteners, and straps on the chafed front or back seam of a boot will work a wonderful change. It the renovated footgear does not look quite new it will at least give one something to wear on a bad day, and every one knows it ruins new shoes to get them wet or even thor- oughly damp. After the cobbler has done his work new ribbons should be put on pumps and new ribbon lacing fn ties. Then every pair should be properly “treed” and polished and cov- ered from the chance of dust. a a ee When children’s dresses have to be patched, be sure to match the weave of the material, and if it be striped or plaid goods, take great care that the lines of the figure ex- actly match. Before applying the patch be sure that the material of the patch matches the dress in color. For example, co hot patch a faded garment with a piece of new material. If the dress is faded, wet a bit of new material and lay it in the sun until it, too, is faded the same amount as the dress itself; then it can be put on under. neath the tear, the frayed edges cut away and the edges of the tear sewed down with invisible stitches, Damp- en and press the patch on the wreng side and it will be almost impose!be to see where the garment has been mended. - Footwear Indorsed by Paris. The white boot is an important fac- tor of the Parisienne’s toilette this season. It is seen with white costumes having conspicuous white touches. These white boots have very high tops that fit the ankle exquisitely, so that the foot looks exceedingly trim and dainty. Most fashlonables in Paris now wear fiesh-tinted or cream silk stockings with the buttoned boct, black stockings being worn with black s'ppers and’ pumps in the eve- ning. The colonial pump of gun metal, with a curved, oblong buck!e, is a new model which 1s liked for piazza and sountry wear. Keeping Cream Sweet, If you have cream you want to keep sweet a few days, add two or three lumps of sugar, stirring it well, then cover it and set it away tn the coldest corner of the refrigerator.
