PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADVERTISE IN THIS PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY INTEREST BE- TWEEN RACES VOL. XVII1. The following article appeared in the New York Age, June 6th. Written by J Arthur Davis. There seems to be no thought or effort on the part of Negroes anticipatory to the commercial, industrial and political revolution logically subsequent to the opening of the Panama Canal and as to its effect upon Negroes. The commercial aspect deserves profound consideration, no less does the industrial and political. The tendency will be to draw into closer relation all the countries of continental America and incidently the whole world, by insifying the interests of the nations to facilitate exchange with each other and to develop standards that will better serve industrial and commercial relations. By reason of its proximity the South will take on newer life. If the vastness of its resources must be explored and developed, the capitalists will seize the situation with energy, alertness and tenacity. Against the exacting and tenacious capitalists labor must be protected. We still hear more of replication that unions are indispensable; that they cannot exist without franchise; that it is unsafe generally to admit any laborers to unions without franchise and especially without the ambition to secure franchise at all hazards. What answer will American Negroes make to the question that they are without social efficiency to withstand the sacrifice that franchise and unionism demand? The Panama Canal will make a new South. Who is not willing to admit the possibility of a new South becoming a North, a Yankee land? For an instance, we are familiar with white competition driving the Negro waiter to the wall. Foreigners and native born are hardfast in the clutches of the high cost of living and must seek and dignity any and every avenue of employment. Even the native white woman is competing with the Negro woman for the scrub brush. If the waiters' condition is without remedy, will not this soon apply to other avenues? There seems to be no public sentiment to quicken in his favor, either as to reforming hotel or as to demanding better "tips." This is also a phase emanating from a swindling political status, affecting the industrial outlooks. This political status as appertaining to the Negroes of Continental America end its islands will be revolutionized. Negroes of the United States, in Hayti, Cuba, Brazil and Central America are to be equalized by the ugly hand of the arrogant Caucasian. Will this be done to the white man's taste or will nature foil him and suit it to the taste of the Negro? Here are twenty-five million Negroes including inhabiting countries whose climate more or less is fashioned after the climate of their origin, whose land abounds in wealth, and where in some instance rights are equal and the means by which to defend them are equal. Prejudice follows the American flag. The white man is growing the same everywhere, like causes produce like effects, what he has not done we may expect him to attempt at any time. It becomes a matter of common interest to all these Negroes that justice shall prevail. The Panama Canal will approximate them as if they were of states of the same union. Where is the Negro leader of construction statesmanship to marshal and apply the means by which to bring about a better understanding and substantial helpfullness? This is the Negro's prerogative. It is urgent to cast his future into the proper mold. The crisis is impending, shall Haiti retain her sovereignty, shall other island neighbors and adjacent countriec retain equal rights and the means by which to defend them and shall the reaction be the political emancipation of American Negroes? I do not doubt the Negroes of these islands. They cannot endure serfdom. To them it would be bitter than dearth. If the test is applied, will they not only successfully defend themselves, but create a reaction that will produce the political emancipation of Negroes. There has never been an instance where any country, however large conquered a Negro country, however small. When Alexander was in quest of Kingdoms, had laid Egypt at his feet, he fell against Abyssinia, was utterly repulsed and had to retreat, England through her giant strength against her, was defeated and had to withdraw. Italy fell against her, with forty-five thousand soldiers, and in the decisive battle that followed, lost thirty-three thousand soldiers and officers killed and wounded, twenty-thousand arms, two hundred field pieces and paid two million dollars indemnity. L'Overture and Dessalines whipped England, France DENVER. COLORADO. SATURDAY. JUNE 15 1912. State Hist & Nut Hist Society State House HANTS WH ADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORAD and Spain to a "frazzle." Here a half million black men whipped half of Europe. Cuban Negroes fought Spain thirty years and won with the assistance of the 24th and 25th Infantries and the 9th and 10th Cavalries of the United States. They are now fighting for industrial and political emancipation. Will they produce another Maceo and win? American Negroes will be affected eventually by political changes to the South of us. External forces once at work are sometimes powerful in events shaping other countries. When it became imminent that the revolt of San Domingo Negroes against their masters would be successful, England said to the United States, "Let us abolish this importation of slavery." The Queen of England said: "I will not ascend the throne of England till slavery is abolished in Jamaica and Brazil." Napoléon in the height of his glory exclaimed "If a handful of Negroes in San Domingo can destroy fifty thousand of my best soldiers, I could not hold Louisiana in case of war, I will sell at once." Haiti sent arms and printing press to Argentinia which precipitated freedom there. Let the American Negro lend Cuban Negroes their moral support; let the hearts of the twenty-five million Negroes of this section of the world beat as one. It their opportunities are lost in the impending crisis, what of the race? CHICKEN RAISING AT TUSKEGEE The school has recently installed a six thousand egg capacity incubator. With the smaller incubators which have been in use for some time, this will give an egg capacity of nearly ten thousand. The institute is trying to make its poultry plant of the largest possible service to the students in poultry raising, as well as to the several thousand farmers of the South who gather at the institute from time to time during the year. There are in the poultry yard at the present time 3,950 fowls, of which 1,460 are chicks hatched within the past few weeks. The laws that were passed to disfranchise Negroes are now re-acting. The intention was that there should be a "loop hole" for white men so that every man who had a white face or claimed to be a Caucasian could vote. Now white people are being troubled over the very law which they passed to eliminate the Negro vote. The lawmakers will have to enforce the law and teach and practice justice to all men before we can have peace and prosperity in South Carolina. "Equal rights to all, special privileges to none." Let there be no "loop holes." LYNCH CREATES STIR Washington, D. C., June 4. When John R. Lynch, colored, of Natchez, Miss., presented himself at the entrance of the Speaker's lobby of the House last week and asked B. F. Heartsell, a doorkeeper who hails from Georgia, for admission to the sacred precincts of the House floor, he started a flurry which lasted for more than an hour. Before Lynch had completed his visit, he was occupying a seat in the House and calmly discussing matters political with some of the older Republican members, despite blank looks from Southern Democrats. Lynch is a former member of Congress from Mississippi. He served from the Third District of that state in the Forty-third, Forty-fourth and was temporary chairman of the Republican convention that nominated James G. Blaine in 1884. He is now retired paymaster in the army with rank of Major. When Lynch was stopped by Heart sell and announced his desire to go upon the floor of the House, Heart sell made a wild-eyed dash to Speaker Clark for directions. The Speaker made inquiries and ascertained that, as an ex member, Lynch was entitled to the floor, and issued the necessary pass. Lynch remained about an hour. AMERICAN FLAG FOR NEW ODD FELLOW TEMPLE 1N ATLANTA Washington.—A large and beautiful American flag, 20 by 10 feet, will be unfurled from the flagpole of the new $100,000 Odd Fellows' temple in Atlanta, Ga., on the day set for the opening of the session of the biennial movable committee in September. It will thereafter continue to adorn that historical structure as a permanent patriotic decoration. The flag is made of the finest bunting and manufactured expressly for the purpose mentioned. It is to be the gift of General Henry Forrest of Washington, a prominent member of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows. He enjoys a nation wide reputation as a philanthropist and public spirited man of affairs. The charming banner has been shipped by express to the officials of the order in Atlanta, ready for display in September in connection with appropriate dedicatory ceremonies. She Little Knew.

But he should have thought of your comfort before that!—London Opinion. RACE NEWS A slick dime brought good luck to Mr. and Mrs. Martha Glewe of St. Paul Minn., who paid a street car conductor a slick dime for fare for herself and husband and they were ejected from the car.

Connersville, Ind., May. 28. William Rhinehart, colored, a pupil in the Fifth street school, has attracted attention of his teachers by his drawings. He is eleven years old, and is said by his parents to have been drawing pictures ever since he was two years old. His imagination runs to common objects, such as horses, cats, dogs and chickens, and with colored pencils the lad is able to make excellent pictures of them. A sence of humor shows in his work. He draws cats with arched backs and upraised paws, dogs at play and chickens scared by hawks. He has had no instructor other than that incidentally given him in the school room. The Sundry Civil Bill, reported to the House Monday by Chairman Fitzgerald, of the committee on appropriations, carries $6,000 for the Nurses' Home at Freedmen's hospital, $32,000 for salaries and $26,000 for subsistence. Various appropriations desired for improvements were denied. Howard University fared no better. The committee refused to authorize the construction of a dormitory for men and an assembly hall, both of which have long been sorely needed. It is expected that the more liberal Seuate will re-insert some of the very important items necessary to the well-being of these two useful institutions. The Negroes of San Antonio were wrought up over an attempt made last week, by a mysterious person to gain entrance at the home of James Dashiell, 114 Gibbs street: Almost to a unit the neighbors of Gibbs declared it was nothing more than a visit of the "axman." The circumstances surrounding the attempt furnished ample material for discussion and alarm among the Negroes who, in recent weeks, have slept behind barred windows or have taken dogs indoors in the hope of foiling the individual or band of fanatics sup- NO 40 posed to have killed ten persons in San Antonio, and at whose doors are laid the crimes of similar nature in other cities in Texas and Louisiana. Chicago, May 30.—Jackson Gordon, 62 years old, employed as a messenger for 14 years in the office of the Board of Assessors, and who is said to have had a personal acquaintance with more prominent men in public life than any other member of his race, died today.

Thousands of citizens in west Texas are reviving the question of dividing the state and making it two, or even three, states. West Texans point out that conditions there are so different from some other parts of Texas that a division is reasonable. Climate is different, products are different, industries are different, needs are different, they assert, and advocates of the project point out that Texas is of such immense size that the division would not hurt the state.

DO IT NOW Subscribe for THIS PAPER AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Vampires of the street, they should be called; these animals whose unbridled passions make them prey on any living creature and leaves no man safe from their attacks. It should be a man's privilege to live in protection, when he will or as he will, so long as his will does not conflict to hindrance of society, but in this city of the free, a man may is mistaken for liberty, a man may not leave his home with any assurance of returning if his way happens to lead him in certain districts of our city. Here a many ma ynot express his opinion without a challenge which may result in his death. Here he may not seek to rectify some mistake less some prowler of the street make him pay for the privilege with his life. Where are our laws, where are our courts, where our police that this craze of affairs continues unchallenged, unchecked? Never a week passes over our head but some life has paid the forfeit to another's life passion. Scarcely a day passes but some man has taken judgment and justice in his own hands and blotted out some other to satisfy his malevolence. To many the sacredness of individual rights has no meaning. To them the home ties have no value; and for much the majesty of the law has no terrors. The time has come when because of the technical skill of the lawyers, the film flam practiced in the courts, the criminal no longer fears the penalty of his crime. Those who should be vigilant to rid society of these men are indifferent or careless. Laxity in the court room leaves no home free from fear that some of its members may be violently taken away because of the prey of some street tramp or lawless individual. In this enlightened city, there is a reign of terror and crimes likened unto the days of the middle ages. Let the wholesale murder be stopped at any cost. Let our feelings not be constantly harassed by evil or crime and license. Let the men who have committed murder be dealt with according to the law on the statutes of our states. Let the criminal feel the real force of the punishment he invites. Punishment is the only antidote for heinous crimes. The man who is so hardened that he can ruthlessly take the life he cannot give is also so hardened that there is but little hope that a lenient sentence will help him. When crime ceases to go free because of sentiment or money crime will then stand in fear of punishment and this city will not have a reign of terror, which has been on the increase for the past year. The duty of the court is to protect the citizens, their rights, their property and their lives. It is not its duty to lay a premium on crime abrogating punishment. We beg the judges on the bench, the state's attorney and the honorable lawyers at the bar to aid the crusade against crimes by sternly setting their faces against light sentences and easy discharges of criminals brought before them.—Illinois Chronicle. We have noted this striking difference between the white press and the negro press in their comment regarding the frightful tragedy of the Titanic! Colored writers invariably infer or pre-suppose it to have been the work of God, or at least that God in some way had some hand or purpose in bringing it about. The white man discusses the matter without any such inference or prepossession. So far as can be judged from this latter's writings, God was not in it either directly or indirectly. Man alone was responsible. Were there enough collapsible boats? Enough life preservers? Neglect to provide binoculars? Anything wrong about the mechanism of the wireless apparatus? If so, man was responsible, the error can be corrected and the banner of progress can be planted higher up the heights. But if God did it, then there is no need to try again. Let the army of progress camp where it is and never move a step further. Such is the legitimate consequences of two radically different ideas when traced to their logical conclusion. But what has always puzzled us is this, is it a necessary law of mind, that the under man habitually thinks of any unforeseen tragedy happening to the man in advance as having been sent by some power above. But this much is certain, had the man in advance continued to think like the man farthest down both would today have been nearer the jungle than they are. All the progress known today has been made possible by cultivating the habit of looking for the cause of defeat and victory in the only world known to man. It is by reason of this fact that man has conquered the world. He never would have done so had he held to the silly belief that his misfortunes, defeats, reverses and tragedies were sent upon him by some God or Devil. Mankind will benefit in countless ways by that frightful sea-tragedy which we all deplore. Nobody would be benefited, however, if the masters of thought and ef fort believed for a moment that a God sent that superb ship to the bottom of the deep in order to show his power. Foolish ideas of that sort dominated the human mind during that night of a thousand years known in history as the Dark Ages. The baneful effects of those ideas are traceable in all of the occupations of man from farming to pharmacy. No race is capable of leading in the march of the world today that is not first able to divest itself of these creements and grave-clothes of the mind—Dallas Express. In a news article published some weeks ago attention was called to the fact that a movement was on foot to have a national conference of waiters to consider the subject of negro waiters throughout the country. This is important, vastly important, and we hope it will be done. The fact that all classes of working people as well as captains of industry are constantly holding conventions to consider their condition with a view of improving that condition. People who manufacture wall paper hold conventions; people who manufacture picture frames hold conventions; people who manufacture brooms hold conventions; people who manufacture clocks hold conventions; people who raise pigs, cows and chickens hold conventions. While all this has been going on among the white people the negro has been thinking far too long that he could benefit himself by simply holding conventions declaring in favor of "manhood rights" and all the rest of it. We have gone on with this nonsense until the negro waiters have begun to lose their bread and butter. By all means let us have conventions of negro waiters.—New York Age. The St. Louis Argus is fighting a condition not a theory that exists nearly everywhere. It says: People who sweat their eyeballs out to earn a small sum and then pour it all back into the coffers of those who offer no means of getting any of it back save the most menial and poorly paid work, will never be able to get a foothold economically. Remember, that every dollar spent with a negro business or professional man has ten chances to reach you again to one chance for the dollar spent with the other fellow. Negro grocers, physicians, lawyers, dentists, druggists and what not are almost unanimous in saying that the people who can best afford to pay for high class service take it to the white man. It is from the mass of "just ordinary" people that the negro business and professional man receives his support. If these negroes will not patronize negro enterprises, then let them be put out of the service of negroes. Keep tab on them, and when the time comes to fill a place, put in a negro who will spend his money among his own people. There have been few undertakings on American soil wherein the negro has not borne a praiseworthy part. Mr. Hensen at the north pole with Peary is a case in point. Notwithstanding the intense cold he bore his part in this perilous dash to the pole with all the heroism of his companions and has written his name next to that of Peary himself in his great exploit. It is an indication of the remarkable qualities of Hensen's mind that he has written and published a book on his experiences in the far north. In the years to come these two records, that of Peary and Hensen, will remain the only literary monuments of the first successful dash to the pole. A colored man was brought before a-police judge charged with stealing chickens. He pleaded guilty and received sentence, when the judge asked him how it was he managed to lift those chickens right under the window of the owner's house when there was a dog in the yard. "Hit wouldn't be of no use, judge," said the man, "to try to 'splain dis thing to you all. Ef you was to try it you like as not would get yer hide full o' shot an' get no chickens, nuther. Ef you want to engage in any rascality, judge, yo' better stick to de bench, whar yo' am familiar."—Zlon's Advocate. Jack Johnson introduced his talk before a theater audience in Chicago recently by saying that he used to see white folks celebrating on July 4, but that the colored people never had much to rejoice over or to touch fireworks, and the like. That's why he changed things for them and gave them an equal chance to make merry on that big day, which, he said, should always be remembered as the time when one great athlete of the colored race defeated a white man. While some people are discussing, and some are "cussing" him, he can "saw wood and say nothing." Just strive to educate head, heart and hand, and reach the highest mental, moral, physical and industrial development possible and get the elements so fixed in him that all the world can stand up and say, "This is a man." ORIGINAL IN FOOR CONDITION TUSKEGEE'S NOTED PRESIDENT PREACHES WHITEWASH AND PAINT AS SYMBOLS OF CIVILIZATION Tuskegee, Ala.—Whitewash and paint are two of the most expressive symbols of civilization, according to the teachings at Tuskegee. The French adage that a nation is known by its soups is given an application. The students here are taught that the paint pot is superior to the soup kettle, that the bathtub outranks the soup tureen, that the scrubbing brush is an advance agent of progress, and that volumes of wisdom and ages of experience are condensed in the five words, "Cleanliness is next to Godliness." This fine, homely, practical doctrine goes further. It preaches that material comforts are one index to mental and moral status, that squailor is no temple for the soul, that ethics and gastronomy are not strangers to each other, that improved environment means higher standards of thought, that a kitchen garden is a heavenly messenger as well as a temporal comfort, and that no civilization is far advanced that is content to subsist on a steady diet of fat pork and corn bread the year round, when fresh vegetables are fairly aching to be grown. These ideas are drilled into the students day and night as accessories of the manual training and the classroom work. They are reiterated in some form or another nearly every time Booker T. Washington addresses the student body or speaks to the colored farmers of the south. They are sent out in the form of extension leaflets containing excerpts from addresses to the 1,700 boys and girls at Tuskegee. The paint and whitewash doctrine of advancement has taken such a hold during the years it has been exploited that nowadays, when Mr. Washington prepares to visit a community, the residents make ready to demonstrate that they have made it part and parcel of their faith. The Tuskegee Messenger prints many items like the following: "Rev. S. Moss and Messrs. S. W. White and L. Pollard of Shiloh community, Notasulga, Ala., are planning to paint their houses by the time Dr. Washington visits that community. Others are planning to have their houses whitewashed by that time, Miss E. Lamar, the teacher, is having her schoolhouse repainted." Trivial items like these carry great significance between their lines, despite the appeal they make to the risibilities, for they show the spread of the Tuskegee ideas, which are industry, skill in labor, kindness and cleanliness, all for the advancement of standards of living. At chapel a few nights ago Mr Washington preached to the students At the morning exercises the institute chaplain had taken the theme of Samson and Delilah for his sermon, but at the night services Mr Washington took as his text white wash and paint. "One of the best lessons in civilization you can teach anybody," he said, "is to be uneasy and unhappy when a doorknob is even loose. In spite of all its antiquated and, in some cases, almost heathenish methods, it is hard to free ourselves from the slavery of the old-time book education. Every good citizen, whether he be teacher or is engaged in any other occupation, has something, should have something to do with the education that is going on in his community. Whenever you get an opportunity to exert the slightest influence, see it that the house in which the teachers and children are assembled is made clean—clean inside, clean outside; floors well swept, everything thoroughly dusted. See to it that every piece of furniture is put in the very best repair; see to it that, wherever it can be done, the paint brush or whitewash brush is used on the inside. "A great many people are content to put up a house and let it stand without paint, its weather boards cracking and warping, a symbol of slovenliness. The whitewash brush and the paint pot are indexes of civilization. When you leave here, see to it that your homes and your farm buildings and your schools are fit to live in. If you can't afford paint, use whitewash. When you go into a school as a teacher, take a week's time to clean up. See to it that the yard is cleaned up, every piece of paper picked up, every paling put where it should be on the fence; that the gate hinges are all right, and all the broken window glasses are put in. Then begin using the whitewash brush or the paint brush around the schoolhouse, on the building, on the fence, on the gate, everywhere, to make the schoolroom an inviting, beautiful place, one that is fit for human beings to live and work in. Teach your pupils to be unhappy when one window pane gets a little cracked, and if a window pane is out, dismiss the school if necessary until that window pane is put in place. "After you go away from here I want to see you keep up this same thought, this same idea of activity and of keeping all your surroundings at all times and under all circumstances, in good repair. See to it that you are not farmers unless the house in which you live is whitewashed or painted. See to it that when it begins to get a little out of repair, when the whitewash or the paint begins to get off, a little dull, see to it that a new whitewash, a new paint, takes its place. See to it that everything you touch, every point in life that you touch, you keep in good repair, beginning with your own bodies, with your own dress, then with your surroundings in school and out of school. Be sure that you try to keep in good repair, in good shape, and then you will feel vigorous, you will feel that you can overcome difficulties. "I don't believe it is possible for a person to be a good Christian with one suspender off, going around the country trying to wear one suspender. It lops him all over. He is one-sided from the time he gets up in the morning until he goes to bed at night. There is something wrong. He cannot act straight, he cannot think straight. There is something out of order all the time. A person does not indicate that he has the highest training, the highest civilization, who is satisfied to let a single button be off his clothes. "Keep the grease spots off your clothes. I remember I had occasion some time ago to call a doctor in—and it was not a doctor here. I am glad to say, or anywhere near here—but I noticed he had a button off and he had two or three grease spots on his clothes. I do not know how much medicine he knew, but that button off and those grease spots perfectly disgusted me in reference to that man. Keep the grease spots off your clothes; keep the buttons on, because no person who has the highest idea of civilization can go through life without being in proper repair in these respects. "Make a study of the preparation of food. See to it that a certain ceremony, a certain importance, be attached to the partaking of the food, a certain time when each meal is to be served; then see to it that the food is not only prepared in the most tempting way, but that it is served in the most attractive and beautiful way. In most cases, as you know, the place where the food is taken is the most dismal, the most gloomy place in the whole house, and people want to get out of it just as soon as possible. See to it that when you build your own home the dining room is the most beautiful, the most convenient, the most tempting room in the whole house." As is the case with all educational institutions, one of the first questions asked by the visitor to Tuskegee is what becomes of the graduates. An investigation made by Monroe N. Work of the division of records shows that about two-thirds of the 1,615 graduates and three-fourths of the students who did not finish are engaged in some form of industrial work. They are working as farmers, architects, bakers, blacksmiths, bookkeepers, brick masons, cabinet makers, carpenters, carriage makers, cooks, firemen, harness makers, horticulturists, machinists, milliners, miners, molders, trained nurses, painters, plumbers, printers, millers, shoemakers, tailors, tinsmiths, wheelwrights and wood turners. In addition numbers are teachers. In the thirty years of its existence the institute has given two years of training to approximately 9,000 persons. The average earnings of persons trained at Tuskegee is about $700 a year. Before attending Tuskegee they earned on an average about $100 a year. Thus the institute has increased by about 600 per cent the earnings of all who have taken its courses. The earnings of the average negro is placed at about $300 a year. The economic value of the institute to the entire south has been estimated. The average length of time the 9,000 students have been out of the school is fourteen years, during which time their earnings have been $88,200,000, it is estimated. Without the industrial training the 9,000 would have earned in the fourteen years only $12,600,000. So that the south, where most of the 9,000 are located, has had the advantage of an increase of $75,600,000 in the economic value of the 9,000 alone, to say nothing of what Tuskegee has done in improving the conditions of the negro outside the school walls by teaching the dignity of labor and influencing the colored people of the south to sobriety, discipline, order, a better family life, and a higher standard of living in general, all items of economic value. TURKISH DELIGHT. Among the imported candy this is a favorite, its price alone prohibiting it from wide popularity. When made at home it is comparatively inexpensive. To make it, boil two and one-half pounds of loaf sugar with one and three-fourths pints of water. When this becomes clear add 65 drams of starch that has been dissolved in a little cold water. Stir until it becomes a thick paste, and then add 25 drams of water and one cup of chipped almonds. Flavor with lemon, rose or any fruit extract, and then pour into buttered pans that are an inch deep. When cold cut into squares and dip each into confectioners' sugar. If put into tin boxes these will keep a long time. FQSS WENT ONE BETTER. When in England Governor Foss o. Massachusetts had luncheon with a widely known Englishman noted for boasting of his ancestry. Taking a coin from his pocket, the Englishman said: "My great-great-grandfather was made a lord by the king whose picture you see on this shilling." "Indeed!" replied the governor, smiling, as he produced another coin: "What a coincidence! My great-great-grandfather was made an angel by the Indian whose picture you see on this cent."—Lippincott's Magazine.

The fact remains that man is a learner. He was born to know and to know in the highest end of his existence, but what to know and where to learn it will always be an important factor in his acquisition of knowledge, Good books, good magazines and good newspapers are in abundance these days and are so cheap that everybody can possess therh and gain the ripest and best knowledge obtainable at the smallest. cost. Instead of doing this many people seem to think and act as though the street corners and eurbstones were the only universities in existence and that gossip and street. talk the only information worth having. Many of our so called good people do not take a newspaper in their home but depend upon the street lore to guide them in all their con- yersations and information, forgetting that this kind of knowledge is almost worse than trash and is often nothing more than the merest nonsense. Such knowlédge as this is often nothing more than mere opinion and conjecture until it is run through the seive of broad mind- ed men and the press and there shorn of its exeeressence and fiction and reduced to solid faets. : People who like flurid, undigested, yellow gossip will be satisfied with this kind of information, but those who want clean, clear and solid facts will not eare to take it from the street corners and curbstone socialigists. They will take a good reliable newspaper and read the news and results of public opinion as set forth in the light of clear and logieal reasoning and careful investigation. It will save you time and worry and money to read a good newspaper and you will have more reliable information in the end, therefore take The Colorado Statesman and pay for it and be independent of sidewalk and back- yard gossip. | DREAMS THAT FADE. r which a black man of intelligence re begin to fade before the realities of mi of a great tragedy if the world had eai ‘The despair which a black man of intelligence realizes when the dreams of youth begin to fade before the realities of manhood might be | made the basis of a great tragedy if the world had ear for such work. but here in America, at least, the experience is so universally common: that it takes its place among the other ordinary affairs of life and. passes into forgetfulness as so much worthless and unrecorded iets Doubtless every boy or girl, at the zenith of school days, is stirred by some deep desire, thought or ambition to become of use to the world in some sphere which will admit of activity along the lines of his or her capabilities, and which, if it does not bring great honor, will afford reasonable success and a degree of personal satisfaction. ‘The white boy, if he applies himself diligently and works hard, may see his early hopes develop into tangible realities, and with per- sistence, into absolute certainties, which often expand for beyond the limitations of his early imagination, or, under the direction of exper- ienced ones about him, drive far from him, at least, all the elements of failure or of aimless living. But the brighter the mind of the black boy, the sooner he learns. that he has come into a world which is to tantalize him with dreams of unattainable things. He may feel all the aspirations that the white boy feels, but he must learn that his course lies along a different path. Goaded by the realization that he is one of a lowly race, he may aspire to hereulanean tasks which carry the hope that through him, per haps, his people may be delivered from some portion of the burden whieh an incomprehensible fate has fastened upon it; but as the years come on he will see that his mightiest efforts bring him no nearer to the goal of his early desires. Gradually the fact dawns upon him that his world is not the world that he first saw, not the world of other folks, but one with limitations marked by walls of racial separation, Yet straight ahead of him in his limited world the horizon is just as distant as the horizon of the white boy’s world, although the pathway ahead is unbeaten—and to that distant point, over that unbeaten path, he turns his hopes, and on this new hope his life is centered. ‘True, that many lose faith at the awakening, but just as true the fact that black men, as a race, pass through this erucieal test safely, and with hope born of faith in the righteousness of things beyond human serutiny, plod onward toward the rising sun. 2 Wage Earners By CHARLES L. BAINE O ORDINARY wage earner can save enough to escape from the N wage-earning class. If by the ordinary wage earner we mean the average wage earner then we are dealing with a general average wage of considerably less than $12 per week for the Afty-two weeks in the year. The present cost of bare necessities of life prohibits the saving of ny considerable amount from the meager wages of the average wage varner. Certainly he cannot save enough in his prime to maintain him- self in his old age. ‘This would be true of those without family responsi- cilities, while average wage earner with a family to support can save aothing at all unless the standard of living of the family is reduced to meet advancing living costs, and then only a emall sum which a brief sick- ess will absorb. It is the families of the wage earnere that populate the country. Wealthy families are not usually noted for large numbers of children. The wage earner’s family must be supported before there can be any eay- ing for the future, and when that is done there can be little or nothing left. Our large savings bank deposits as a rule belong to persons who are not in the wage-carning class. Some wage earners follow trades that are highly skilled and excep- tionally well paid. It is possible for some of these to save a portion of their wages, but it should be noted that these are extraordinary wage earners, and even among these noue of them may hope to escape the wage earning class by saving alone. A young man asked a prominent American statesman how to acquire riches, and the answer was: “Put yourself in a position to profit by the tabor of other people.” ‘The wage earner who escapes from the wage-earning class does this. His savings are used as the basis of speculation or investment, which, if euccessful, yields him a profit on the labor of other people. If the wage earner builds himself a home he is gratifying the home- owning instinct, but if he couples with it 2 tenement to rent he is devel- oping the desire of the capitalist to profit by the labor of other people. It is well. for the ordinary wage earner to be prudent and to save what he can, but not with the idea of eseaping thereby from the wage earning class, lest his wings be singed by the flame. "The ordinary wage earner will do well to give more effort to improve the condition of the wage-earning class through trade union work and less to an attempt to escape from the wage-earning class by an unsuc- cessful imitation of the methods of capital. All wage earners should seek the largest income from their owz labor rather than to seek to profit by the labor of their fellows. CA 2s body and everybody’s business.

This incident calls attention in a tragic manner to the necessity for improving the condition of the bank notes in general cir- culation. c Some of the bills are so filthy that they are not fit to handle. The remedy for this condition is very simple.

While it is true that many instances of good or bad fortune can only be ascribed to “luck”—euch as the finding of a purse or the loss of an arm by accident—the term cannot be used in cases where some one has had financial circumstances or position changed by application, education, ability as well as other factors. It cannot be doubted that some persons are affected more than others by Iuck, but the meaning of the word should be con- s and not applied to incidents controlled ictions of the persons so affected.

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

QUARTO-CENTENNIAL OF WATERS NORMAL INSTITUTE AT WINTON, N. C., ATTENDED BY THOUSANDS. (By GEO. F. KING.) Winton, N. C.—(Special.)—The recent quarto-centennial celebration of Waters Normal Institute, this town, was an event that forcefully portrayed the fact that the south and especially the rural district is the place for the masses of Negroes. Thousands of representative farmers and a number of business men of the race from every section of the state and parts of Virginia contiguous to Winton were present. The history of the institution is interesting and is an encouraging evidence of the Afro-American progress in the right direction. The central figure of the occasion was a man who is silently doing a work that rightly places him in the galaxy of true leaders. During the summer the year of 1884, the late Dr. Tupper, founder and president of Shaw University, Raleigh, N. C., exhibited his great characteristics by becoming profoundly interested in Negroes in Eastern North Carolina to the extent that he gave $10,000 to the Rev. Dr. C. S. Brown, who had just graduated from that university and asked him to come to this town to begin a work that later proved a wholesome factor in the lives of thousands. He came and begun his work in the woods and among a large number of the race who were cursed by whisky. At this notable rural gathering hundreds of graduates of this energizing institution of learning, progressive farmers and other successful men and women who have become a constructive force in their respective communities because of the training received at this school and the helpful and far-reaching influence germinated by building a thrifty settlement around the school revealed in a concrete manner what the honest, energetic and well trained Negro can accomplish in the south. Located in a strictly rural center where nature deals bountifully to those who persistently and intelligently vex the soil, the growth of the school has undoubtedly been remarkable. Starting only with $10,000 Dr. Brown today has established a plant worth $25,000 and its stimulating propaganda is felt in every section of the state. It has created a new life here and dethroned superstitions and many other evils so woefully affecting the Negro in many other sections. The white people in Eastern Carolina highly praised its worth and the leading people of that race say that its influence upon the community is hard to estimate by a monetary standard. This they claim is due to the sane leadership and character of Dr. Brown, its founder and principal and prominent in many movements for the uplift of the Negro. A commendable feature of the work is that the hundreds of graduates and thousands of undergraduates of same are imbued with the mission of the institution and they are at work in various sections of the south carrying the germinating idea of its founder and reaching those of the race who needs instruction. A distinguishing feature is that its first graduate has spent years working in Africa to help redeem Africa. Thousands of farmers made the celebration an educational source of good for them, and the exhibits of the students inspired them. Contributing to the success of the week was the Chowan Educational association that convened here. This was largely attended. The presence of Dr. Chas. S. Meserve gave impetus and hundreds gave him an ovation during his address to them. Many phases of the Negro's activities were strongly touched upon and he gave undeniable facts showing why the Negro should remain in the south. He narrated many striking examples of many dangers affecting the race by entirely too large a number of same leaving the country and crowding the cities. The address to the graduating class by Hon. John C. Scarborough, superintendent of education for this county, was practical and wholesome. A splendid revelation of what the school is doing in causing the farmers to increase their property holdings and saving accounts was brought out in the statistics of Dr. Brown in making his annual report to the trustee board, composed of leading farmers, business men and a number of preachers of Negroid descent. He aroused pronounced enthusiasm as he pointed out the way that the farmer of color could enhance his opportunities by sticking to the soil. The report showed the school to be in an excellent condition. The farmers raised several thousand dollars in their rally for the school. ILLITERACY DECREASING IN GEORGIA. M. L. Brittain, state superintendent of schools for Georgia, is authority for the following statement as to the reduction of illiteracy in his state: The statistics of 1860 show white illiteracy in George to have been 12 per cent. The census figures of 1910, recently made public, show that the percentage for 1910 is but seven. Of course, in 1870, during the lean years, the illiteracy crept up to 25 per cent, but it has been reduced steadily. In 1900 is was 11 per cent. Illiteracy among the negroes has decreased from 92 per cent in 1860 to 30 per cent in 1910. The illiteracy among negroes in 1900 was 52 per cent. THIRTY YOUNG DOCTORS AND FOUR PHARMACISTS TURNED OUT THIS YEAR BY THE UNIVERSITY—EXERCISES ATTENDED BY REPRESENTATIVE GATHERING. Raleigh, N. C.—The largest assembly of cultured colored men and women ever seen together in this city attended the commencement exercises of Shaw university. All sections of our great country were represented on the spacious rostrum. When President Meserve arose, surrounded by his faculty and many friends both from the south and far distant New England, the chapel was full to overflowing Shaw university has done a great work among negroes for more than fifty years. It has been a great and leading exponent in the higher and industrial education of the negro. Young men and women graduating from this school are doing a great work for the elevation and Christianizing of the race in all parts of the world. Thirty young doctors and four pharmacists received their degrees. The following young men received prizes for excellence in study during the four years of their school life: The Lewis prize, S. P. Sebastian, honorable mention, A. D. Brown and F. D. Brown; the Tuskegee prize, R. S. Vass, honorable mention, A. D. Brown and F. D. Brown; the McKee prize, A. B. McKenzie; the Knox prize, J. W. Kay; the Battle prize, J. S. Thompson of second year; honorable mention, Dennis Branch, second year. The music was under Mrs. Lovey. Bachelor of theology, William M. Morris, Latta H. Powell and Washington Scott. Six young men received the degree of Bachelor of Arts and 22 received certificates of graduation from the normal department. Honorary degrees were conferred by the board of trustees as follows: Charles R. Frazier, Master of Arts; Rev. W. R. Pettiford, Birmingham, Ala., LL. D.; Rev. A. B. Vincent, Raleigh, N. C., D. D.; Rev. George O. Bullock, Winston, N. C., D. D. NO SUFFERAGAN BISHOP BUT THE DELEGATES TO SOUTH CAROLINA DIOCESAN COUNCIL OF THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH APPROPRIATED $500 FOR NEGRO ARCHDEACON. Beaufort, S. C.—By a vote of nearly four to one, the South Carolina diocesan council of the Episcopal church decided against creating the position of suffragan bishop, to be held by a negro, at this time. As a substitute for the negro suffragan, the council appropriated money for the maintenance of a negro archdeacon for work among the negro members of the church in this state. The resolution against the suffragan bishop proposal was adopted without debate, the council considering the winter's open discussion of the matter sufficient to enlighten all the delegates. The resolution was adopted after the presentation of the majority report of the committee, favoring the plan, the minority report opposing it. The resolution offered by the Rev. W. H. Barnwell of Stateburg, read as follows: Resolved, that this council is not in favor of the election of a negro suffragan bishop at this time." The majority report in favor was read at the morning session by the Rev. Walter Mitchell and the minority report against the Negro suffragan by R. I. Manning. Both were referred to the council, sitting as a committee of the whole, in the afternoon. The council took up the reports in executive session. After passing on the suffragan bishop, $500 was appropriated for a negro archdeacon for work among the negroes of the state. This is a new departure in this diocese. BIG NEGRO EXPOSITION ALMOST ASSURED A great question like an appropriation for an Emancipation Exposition for American Negroes would naturally precipitate acrimonious debate on the race question in the United States senate. Before unanimously passing, on April 2, a bill by Senator Bradley of Kentucky appropriating $250,000.00 for a big Negro show probably in Savannah, Ga., to celebrate the semicentennial of the signing of the emancipation proclamation, asperity of temper by some of the Negro-despising element and a surprising vein of broad-minded cordiality had to be turned loose in the senate for sensational press matter. All of it made good reading. Senator Root of New York delivered a passionate eulogy of the achievements of the Negro race; Senator Newlands declared in favor of race separation; Senator Bradley reminded his colleagues that southern Negroes unselfishly protected the white women and children of that section during the Civil war; Senator Hitchcock could see the appropriation misused to give Negroes jobs merely to spend government money. But finally they got together on the proposition and voted in favor of it. If Senator Tillman's pitchfork had not been bent beyond hope of being repaired could you imagine a United State senate voting unanimously on such question? But wait! Members of the house of representatives have yet the chance to create a scene while considering the bill Negroes of America Own in Real Estate Alone Many Millions. WONDER OF THE AGES—"HAS MADE GREATEST PROGRESS EVER MADE," SAYS DR. HAWKINS. Send the negro back to Africa? Absurd, impossible. More than a billion dollars' worth of United States real estate which he owns in his own name in the United States is not easily to be taken from him. Besides, the negro is not an African—he is an American. "African" is a misnomer. Why try to send him to a country which is not his own? So says Dr. J. R. Hawkins of North Carolina, secretary and commissioner of education for the African Methodist Episcopal church, a delegate to the general conference, at the Allen chapel, according to the Kansas City Times. Dr. Hawkins has made a study of the business status of colored people in connection with his regular work as one of the foremost educators. NEGRO PROGRESS IN HALF A CENTURY "It probably will startle the world when it realizes that we have acquired in the last 50 years over $1,000,000,000 in real estate," Dr. Hawkins said. "And that is only the beginning of the rapid forward march which the negro is making as a business man. The negro could not help being a business man. He was surrounded with it in the years of his slavery. He was taught how to drive a bargain in horses or real estate, even if his master didn't teach him how to read and write. "There are 400 self-supporting newspapers, daily and weekly, owned and published by negroes in the United States; 3,000 physicians have been graduated from negro and white schools and are now practicing among their people; 2,000 lawyers have been admitted to the bar in the United States courts of justice and 380 authors are found among our race." "We own 41 schools and colleges, representing an investment of $38,000,000, and $45,000,000 has been spent in church property for negroes. Negro men own and control 51 banks, which are prosperous and flourishing, and $650,000 has been invested in negro libraries. And it is significant that in the southland negroes own 180,000 farms on which 50 years ago they toiled to the crack of the slave driver's whip. "The negro is a born American, and he feels it is his country. Africa has no call on him. It is as a fairy tale to him. Pestilence and disease are not uncommon in Africa, but gospel, the reformers and teachers of the youth are argued to warn and instruct that better conditions may be brought to pass. Criminal Instincts cannot be attributed to all who break the law and the idea of no material gain and of swift and terrible retribution will destroy in many cases the tendency and thought toward the committing of crime. Holdup men are never at ease and seldom wealthy FARM PROPERTY AMONG NEGROES The value of farm property owned and rented by colored farmers has, in the southern states, increased from 50 per cent, to 225 per cent, in the last ten years. In Texas, for instance, it has gone from $56,000,000 to $113,000,000; in North Carolina from $29,000,000 to $81,000,000, and in Georgia from $48,000,000 to $158,000,000. Nor has this been merely increased in the value of the same land. In these ten states the Negroes controlled, in 1910, 3,683,154 more acres than in 1900. It is not yet possible to separate the land owners and the renters. We only know that the ov. ners have increased in eight states from 125,413 to 149,235 in these ten years. We dare affirm that no class of white peasantry in any European state has in the face of the most favorable ordinary conditions paralleled this record which the colored people have made.—The Crisis. MAKE FAVORABLE IMPRESSION. Tuskegee, Ala.—Among the delegates to the recent International Conference on the Negro, held at Tuskegee institute, were three distinguished representatives from Barbadoes, British West Indies. These gentlemen were: Washington Harper, shipwright; A. R. Parkinson, teacher, and Elliott Durant, Journalist, all of Bridgetown. An interesting thing about the selection of these gentlemen as delegates is that the governor of Barbadoes called a special meeting of the people to select these delegates and co-operated in every way in the matter of arranging for these men to visit the Tuskegee school. Mr. Harper, who calls himself a shipwright, is a most eloquent speaker, and all of the delegates were keenly alive to the needs of the little island in the Caribbean sea. During their visit to the east they have met many old friends, among others Dr. York Russell of New York, who was a fellow teacher in Barbados with Mr. Parkinson. Reports which come to Tuskegee are to the effect that no others in attendance at the recent conference were more helpful and made a better impression than these three men from Barbados. WILL THE SOUTH BECOME INDEPENDENT OF NEGRO LABOR? Current Literature summarizes the tremendous progress the southern states have made and are making since the emancipation and certain conclusions as to southern labor that are of the greatest interest to the readers as embodying a retrospect based upon facts and figures that admits of no controversy and a perspective that is always problematical and that seldom justifies in results the forecasts of those who make them. "The best laid plans of men and mice aft gang aglee." Mr. G. Grosvenor Dawe, managing director of the Southern Commercial congress, for example, glories in the fact that the south has 969,000 square miles of land and water; 300,000,000 acres of cultivatable land, half of which has not felt the touch of the plow, with vast mineral wealth and incomparable climatic conditions "transforming the vital fluid of rain through the chemistry of plant life into gifts that make glad the heart of man." Nature has done her part to make the south a veritable "garden of the Lord." If "only man is vile" there, we ask, whose is the fault? On the other hand, Mr. Philip K. Keller, in Uncle Remus' Home Magazine, takes no stock in Dr. Washington's hopeful outlook, in the North American Review, of the negro's future in the south, as indicated in 1910, by his ownership of 900,000 farms. While Mr. Kellar shows that the south produces annually $6,010,000 worth of agricultural, forest and mineral products, with $21,500,000 invested in manufactures, he is of the opinion that negro labor is still a necessity in southern fields, but it is not such a necessity as it was in the years following the close of the war; and the last 10 or 20 years show that white men not only can work in the southern fields, but that they do better work and get larger yields than under the old systems of slave and negro contract labor." But negro farm owners, by the same token, are getting better results under newer systems of cultivation, and negro laborers are receiving a wage as independent workmen, with right to save their earnings and buy land, that was not true of the slave conditions. "The lazy man's country is where the lazy man is. The lazy man is disappearing rapidly from the south, and with him is going the idea that the south is a lazy land," says Mr. Kellar. Negroes who are disposed to be lazy, to work half time, to work half their land, and to spend most they make from year to year on their backs and stomachs, therefore, take warning from Mr. Kellar's view of the lazy man and lazy country business. The white south is wideawake; the black south cannot afford to sleep on its opportunities. The mines and factories of the south are full of workmen from Europe who save their money and buy land in small parcels. They are agriculturists by education and preference, and as soon as they make enough in mine and factory work to purchase and stock farms they abandon mine and factory work to others of their countrymen, of whom there is always an unfalling supply. The southern negroes should study the labor and saving ways of the foreigners among them, and profit by it. The south is no longer a lazy man's country. Its agricultural, forest and mineral lands will go finally to those who are not lazy men. The Age desires to impress these facts upon the minds of its southern readers now, in the accepted time, when land is cheap, wages reasonable and right to save money and buy is as much their privilege as of the white man. PLANTS MUST BE PROPERLY FED In the matter of plant food it stands to reason that each species would have its own characteristic way of attacking soil ingredients, even though the supply required to produce a crop may be almost the same with a number of species. But their method or habit of taking this food may be so different as to make it urgently necessary to rotate in order to prevent robbing. Each plant must have food adapted to itself, just the same as animals, and it is not difficult to imagine a case where soil is reasonably rich in plant food and yet a certain crop will not thrive on it to that extent that they will produce profitable returns. The diversification of crops for the purpose of distributing labor throughout the year needs little if any comment. However, it is doubtful if the full benefits of scientific diversification are attained in every instance. We have known men who would put in a large acreage of one variety of oats or one variety of wheat, whereas labor could be used much more advantageously if more than one variety were used, so the harvest time could be extended over a longer period. One reason why winter wheat is increasing in popularity is because it ripens early, thereby enabling the farmer with a given amount of help to harvest a larger crop during the year than would be the case if only spring grains were seeded. ENCLOSE THE PONDS. Farmers should have one pond devoted entirely to the use of domestic ducks and geese and running swine, to which they can have free and constant access. All other ponds should be inclosed from stock and poultry.

The object in tilling is to expose fresh portions of the soil, which, during the growth of the previous crop, have been somewhat deprived of air, and have in consequence become sour; to regain some sweetness, and to allow the elements of the air, which are more powerful in winter than in any other season, to do their part to soften any particularly hard substance which, after digging, would lie on the surface. The plants should continually receive nourishment from the substance in the soil, and these, though present, are useless unless they can be dissolved in water and absorbed by the root hairs. Ground left to take care of itself would be inclined to become so solid that water would find its way through from the surface with considerable difficulty. Should it remain on the surface for a long time, the soil below would naturally become cold, so that growth would be impeded. Again, the substances in the soil necessary for plant life require not only water to make them soluble, but oxygen to form compounds to enable them to become useful, and as the air is to a certain extent, roughly about one-fifth, composed of oxygen gas, the free admission of air to the soil is absolutely necessary. It is better, on a heavy soil, to put the ground into ridges for the winter than to leave it on the flat after digging. The rougher the soil is left the better will be the exposure to the air. The spring rains will readily flow through a ridged-up soil, and, without much further labor, it will be ready for planting. The use of a rake will be sufficient to prove that the weathering agents of the air have materially assisted in making a capital tilth. When, in fall, the lumps are hard they can now be crumbled quite easily by the touch of a fork. But on light land ridging is unnecessary—a light trenching or simple digging out is resorted to. Light trenching, however, would not be sufficient year after year for good returns. When a piece of ground is broken up for gardening purposes for the first time the process must be gradual. The soil properly so called may not extend in depth more than 2 feet, and then something of a totally different nature might appear. Tis might poison a crop. It is better to expose it to the atmosphere for at least four or five months, to be thoroughly sweetened as well as broken up. But an intelligent person will readily see that full trenching must pay in the long run, if the soil is not to be sick or barren. ALFALFA MEAL. Alfalfa in all forms as a stock feed has become generally recognized. It is an especially good feed in the green or cured state for dairy cows and hogs, as well as poultry, and of late years is being fed extensively to horses. For quite a number of years ground alfalfa hay, called alfalfa meal, often mixed with molasses, has been offered for sale. The meal is often mixed with corn, oats and a number of other grains and ground feed, being offered for sale as a mixed feed for city trade. Alfalfa as a hay for all classes of stock has the advantage of being rich in protein more than twice as rich as timothy has in this flesh-forming compound, and nearly equal to wheat bran, pound for pound. When alfalfa hay is ground into meal its feeding value is not increased, yet it is perhaps some easier to handle, and there is not apt to be so much waste in feeding. At the present writing, alfalfa meal, mixed with molasses, with large dealers in St. Louis, is selling for about the same as baled alfalfa hay, while ordinary years the meal sells for slightly more than the hay. The meal is put up and sold in 100-pound bags, and it is convenient to handle and use in feeding. One advantage in this line is that it hangs together well in the bag, especially when mixed with molasses, and hence there is very little waste through breaking of the bags in freight handling, as is the case with grain and most ground feeds. The meal is highly relished by all classes of stock. By several scientific tests, alfalfa meal has shown rather a lower percent. of feeding value for producing dairy cows, hence for this purpose it is not economical to use, unless it can be purchased for from $3 to $4 less per ton than bran. However, for hog, horse and poultry feed, it is perhaps equal or superior to wheat bran. It is an excellent mixture in slops for brood sows and growing pigs, as well as for laying hens in winter, either dry or in a wet mash. At the present prices of other feeds, alfalfa meal this spring is an economical feed to be used in a mixed ration for horses and hogs. THE SEARCH FOR THE HUMAN. Clever people and dull people are common enough; very often both these descriptions will apply to the same person, but people who are simple, spontaneous, impulsive, affectionate—in a word, human—are not so very easy to find—Keblt Howard. NO LONGER DOUBT OF WIDE-SPREAD RACIAL CONSPIRACY. Havana.—There is no room for doubt of 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 the Cuban independence. The negroes appear to have become aroused to rebellion by the denial of what seems to them their just political reward 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 negroes the right to organize a political party. The principal trouble now is in the vicinity of Sagua la Grande, where two armed parties are operating, and in Oriente province, where several bands are converging on Guantanamo City, with the apparent purpose of making a display of force at that place. The rural guard dispersed one small party and captured two others. Troops Are Ordered Out The situation is considered sufficiently grave for the government to dispatch a column of 1,200 men from Camp Columbia, composed of cavalry and infantry, with field and machine guns, bound for Santa Clara and Oriente provinces. Near Sagua la Grande a squad of rurales had an engagement with an armed band of negroes. One of the guards was killed and the negroes escaped. From Cruces 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 locomotive and stolen many horses. A dispatch received by the government from Lajas, Santa Clara, says that a negro band headed by Simon Armenteros, destroyed the telegraph station at the Santissima plantation at Trinidad, in Santa Clara, and also burned a bridge of the railway from Sagua la Grande to Cienfugos. Armenteros declares that it is his intention to do his utmost to destroy foreign property. At Mariano, 8 miles from Havana, the rural guard exchanged shots with a party of negroes, capturing one of them and also nine rifles. GIVE US BACK OUR WHITE NEGROES There is much discussion on in the white newspapers of this section over what seems to be a decrease in the per cent. of increase of the population of the negro race, comments the Colored Alabamian of Montgomery. We would respectfully call their attention to the fact that whatever increase is made in the negro population is perfectly "natural," for there is practically no immigration of blacks from other countries to the United States. On the other hand there are hundreds of thousands of whites who come to this country each year. We would also call the attention of the whites who seem to be a little happy over the situation to the fact that there are thousands of negroes going over to the white race each year. Many negroes move from one state to the other and send their children to white schools and join white churches. Conductors on street cars and trains can't tell whites from negroes sometimes. We have seen negroes with whom we were well acquainted pass for white right here in the city of Montgomery. When the census is being taken all such negroes are counted in with white people and the totals are made up and published showing that the negro race is dying out, etc. If they will give us back our white negroes, we will make a better showing in 1920. There are laws against the intermarriage of whites and blacks; and other laws against whites and blacks sitting together on trains and in street cars, and a thousand other barriers, but this whitening process is still going on. TALKS ON SURFACE UNDER DRAINAGE PROBLEM. Normal, Ala. — Concluding the course of lectures which he has been delivering at the Agricultural and Mechanical college at Normal this year, Ben P. Hunt discussed in a most effective way the "Surface Underdrainage Problem," now before the south and the southern farmer. He declared that this is one of the greatest industrial problems which confronts the south and the American people. Speak further along this line, he said in part: "The importance of this subject has been brought to my mind and impressed by the recent overflows and terrible damages in several of the southern states through the unusual rainfall for the past few months. It is the big problem and its successful solution will require the co-operative work of the federal government, the states and the counties interested." GET TOGETHER ON A DEFINITE PLAN. The negro newspapers are gaining in influence. And in this dark period it is incumbent upon the negro publishers of newspapers to get together and in an impassionate way counsel what they believe to be the best policy to pursue to create a sentiment against lynching, says the Nashville Globe MADE A GREAT HIT THE AMATEUR PIANIST WHO THOUGHT HE RIVALED RUBINSTEIN. An orchestra leader who conducted for Rubinstein when the great musician was on tour, tells of a joke played in one city on an amateur pianist. "The amateur's father was the owner of a large hall, and he offered the use of it to Rubinstein for his benefit. There was to be a piece for four pianos, and the amateur was to play one of the instruments. I was the leader. I thought Rubinstein would have a fit when I told him that the amateur couldn't play three straight notes. 'He is sure to throw us all out,' said I, 'and ruin the performance.' "Rubinstein swore like a major, but 'twas no good. The bills were out and he must keep faith." "At last I hit on an idea. The amateur came down to rehearsal and we praised him up until he thought he was to be the star of the night. As soon as he left we took the hammers out of his piano and made it dumb as an oyster. I guessed he would never know the difference with three pianos going at once. "And, just as I thought, that amateur and his friends never discovered the trick. No, sir; he just sailed in and pounded on that piano as if it was the worst enemy he ever had. He was bound to show off among so many good pianists, and he hammered on his keyboard until the perspiration nearly blinded him. Now and then I looked at him approvingly to give him fresh courage, and every time that I did he gave the piano a lick that nearly made matchwood of it. "His friends all around threw bouquets at him till he looked like a wedding arch, and when it was all over his fond parent fell on his neck in the green room and slipped a fat check into his hand. "Didn't he do splendidly? said he to me. "I never heard an amateur do so well in public," said I, and, what's more, I meant it." CANE FODDER FOR STOCK. The use of sorghum cane for fodder causes many to want to know about is cultivation, and the consensus of opinion of those who have made a success of raising and feeding it, is that it is necessary to plant the seed of an early variety to obtain the best results. Some of the early varieties ripen seed within 90 days from the time of planting. Seed should be ripe by the time of the first frost, because the cane should be cut right after the frost and seed should be matured when the cane is cut. Cut the next day after frost whether the seed of the cane is matured or not. Plant thick enough to grow small stalks the size of a lead pencil or a little larger. About 200 pounds of seed should be planted to an acre and should be planted in rows about 24 inches wide, which need never be cultivated. The rows will be cut with a binder and the bundles shocked as soon as cut. Shock the bundles about 20 to a shock, tearing the shocks at the top at once whether dry or not, as the tops will dry out and the shocks drain out and not mold. Do not plant cane fodder on good ground, but on the poorest, sandy or clay land that you have, and remember that no manure or fertilizer is to be used on land that is to grow sorghum for either fodder or sirup. Never store the fodder by laying the bundles horizontally, as it will surely heat, but stand the bundles either on end or on top of each other in preference to placing them on their sides. The larger the bundle the more apt it is to heat, especially if bound tightly. The cane can be shocked as soon as cut. Cane fodder is greatly relished by all stock and there is very little waste to it, as hogs like the seed as well as the cane stalks. Dairy cows fatten go quickly on it if fed in much quantity. Hogs fatten on it rapidly. It should be fed so that the stock can get just what they can clean up. When the seed is sown broadcast, it often becomes moldy and does not mature as well as when sown in rows of certain widths. ENCOURAGE JENNY WREN. The little house wren is one of the season's birds that likes to build near the house, and as she is an industrious worm and caterpillar killer, her presence should be encouraged. One method of doing this is to tack up little nesting boxes on trees or under the eaves of the outbuildings. A box five or six inches in size each way is plenty large, and at the top on one side a hole should be bored that is from an inch to an inch and a quarter in diameter. These birds will build in the same boxes season after season. Be sure to bore the entrance hole to the nest box small enough to prevent the entrance of the larger-bodied English sparrow, a pest not to be encouraged. A DELICATE SAVORY. Here is a delicate savory easily made. Take out the stone of a fine French prune and insert a small stoneless olive. Wrap it round with bacon and grill it.

"I had just one asset in life which enabled me to 'tide over' that period in every week when poverty seemed to be staring me in the face. This consisted of a handsome gold watch, keepsake of college days in Indiana. Tuesday was pay-day at the newspaper office. By Friday I would be 'broke,' and I would tote the watch over to the pawnshop of a man who now conducts a handsome jewelry shop in State street. On the watch I obtained $5, and by administering my affairs carefully I managed to worry through until pay-day. Then when I had received my salary I would hurry to the pawnbroker's and release my watch. "Finally, after this had gone along for many months, I received a raise in pay. It was enough to release me from the necessity of pawning my watch regularly. So I visited the pawnshop no longer. "One afternoon about ten years afterward I was accosted in State street by a man. I recognized my old pawnbroker friend, now the prosperous jeweler. "What's the matter, George?" were his first words. "Did you lose that watch?" IN AND OUT. Soon after Martin W. Littleton was elected to congress he went to Washington and spent several hours watching the senate and house in action. He happened in the senate while a western senator, one of the parties to a filibuster which closed the last regular session, was in the midst of a speech that had no bearing on the case at issue. His sole object was to kill time. "Great Scott!" said Littleton, "I was never so bored in my life. Why do they allow a man to take up the time of the senate in this manner?" "Why," whispered a member of the house, "did you not realize that he was drinking steadily between paragraphs?" "Yes, I saw him drinking water from time to time," replied the New Yorker, "but what effect could that have upon the case?" "That wasn't water. It might have looked like it from a distance, but it was Scotch highballs he was taking to stimulate himself," was the reply. "Well," said Littleton, "all I have to say is that what went in was a good deal stronger and better than what came out."—New York World. SURPRISE FOR THE WEATHER PROPHET. A century and a half ago people used to depend upon the weather prognostications of Partridge's Almanac. One day Partridge himself put up at a country inn for dinner. The hostler advised him to stay the night, as it would certainly rain. "Nonsense!" said Partridge, and proceeded on his way. Soon a heavy shower fell, which so impressed the traveler that he instantly rode back to the inn and offered the hostler half a crown if he would tell him how he knew the rain was imminent. "Well," said the man, with a grin, pocketing the coin, "the truth is we have Partridge's Almanac here, and he's such a liar that whenever he promises a fine day we know it will be foul. Today is set down as fine." The weather prophet, like many other weather prophets before and since, passed on discomfited.—Strand Magazine. A NOBLE FOOTMAN. Billy Hitt, a well-known society man in Washington, was late one evening for dinner at the home of Larz Anderson. Springing from his automobile, he rushed into the house, struggling out of his big fur overcoat as he went. Just inside the door he saw a footman at whom he hurled the coat, exclaiming: "That's all right. Never mind the check." But as he was disappearing into the dining room he was stopped by a storm of outlandish language coming from the prostrate form that had been knocked down by the impact of the overcoat. He looked round and saw emerging from the covering of fur the face of Count von Bernstorff, the German ambassador—Washington Star. DIDN'T BLAME HIM. Pete Daily one time was playing in Chicago at the head of his own company. At another theater there was a German comedian being starred in a musical comedy. One afternoon Daily and the German comedian were walking along State street when the former spoke to a man who passed. "Who was that?" asked the German comedian. "He's in my support," replied Daily. "What?" said the German comedian, showing surprise. "Do you speak to the members of your company on the street?" "To be sure," replied Daily. "I don't speak to the members of mine." "Well," said Pete, "I wouldn't either if I had your company." Rooms And the Old Reliable Parlors SHORT ORDERS AT ALL ahoe Street. THE MONARCH LIQUOR COMPANY 1841-45 Arapahoe Street.

The revival of the directoire fashions marks the return of the inevitable sash. This is a welcome fact to most women, who realize what an improvement sashes are to any frock. SMA Little Aft come beauti an al home Goo Black velvet or satin is a favored material for the directoire sash-girdle. These are not difficult to make and are inexpensive if fashioned at home. It requires three yards of three-inch ribbon velvet. Three-fourths of a yard forms the waist belt. To this attach three hooks and eyes to fasten at the side. The longer sash end should be cut one and one-quarter yards and the shorter one yard long. The ends are bordered with a deep silk fringe. If black satin is used, it requires one and one-half yards. Cut the strips bias, the desired width of the sash. Form the waist belt of soft folds. The ends are effective if embroidered either in black or colors. If the latter are preferred, select in Arabian design. The ends may be rounded or diagonal. Sashes of wide ribbon require very little time to make. It requires three-fourths of a yard for the waist belt and the balance for the ends. Finish at the left side with a wreath of tiny flowers and foliage fashioned of ribbon. The ends are adorned in the same manner. For Milady. To keep hair in curl and at the same time impart a delightful fragrance to the entire colfure, dampen it with cologne water before winding it on the iron. Leave the hair on the iron until it is quite dry. Avoid any curling fluid containing gum arable, as it leaves a white powder when dry, and this dulls and deadens the sheen of the hair. Scrim is the most sanitary material for face cloths. This cloth is porous and free from lint, allowing a free circulation of air. It also admits of quick and effective washing and drying, so that it can be cleaned after every face bath. Perfumed soap, except of the most delicate odor, is no longer used by the woman of refined tastes. The odor of a heavily perfumed soap is acrid and penetrating, completely effacing any finer fragrance from the scent bottle or sachet. Use a pure soap devoid of perfume, and apply your favorite toilet water as an astringent after the face or hands have been bathed. Flower Holders. In selecting vases consider color as well as shape if intended for practical use. Gray, dull green, a soft dark red and dull orange crockery make good backgrounds for most flowers. The dull colors of the Japanese bronze and the laquered basketware also show off many flowers to great advantage. Clear or cut and engraved glass is safer than the lovelest fridescent as a flower holder, although violets look lovely in a low bowl-shaped vase of opalescent glass. For table decoration cut glass and silver are most in favor, though Dresden, Chinese and other dainty wares are used. For the porch use brass, copper or wicker, reed or bark-covered holders. --- Little Ideas for Beautifying the House That Will Be Found Useful to Remember. After the spring cleaning is over comes the time to add those little beautifying touches which always give an air of "spick and spanness" to the home. Good taste at present leans toward wall paper with little or no pattern. Striped papers, however, are not frowned upon by the artistic. Plain papers produce a much more effective background for pretty furniture. White or cream tints make an admirable covering for the drawing room walls. Paintings look well upon it. A carpet of moss green or pale mauve is attractive if Persian rugs are not used. Cover the chairs with cretonne or old-fashioned chintz. When having sepla-colored photographs framed, a narrow ebony or brown molding will enhance the beauty of the picture. The narrow line of black upon the wall is charming, if in the living room or the dainty pink or blue bedroom. Your summer draperies should be sheer and cool looking. A great variety of materials are suitable for this purpose, and range from high to low prices. In summer the entire house should speak of coolness and comfort. Pack away all unnecessary articles of brie-a-brac to spare the extra work of caring for them during the dusty weather. If you decide to store the large rugs or carpets and use small ones, the floors should be well varnished and oiled, that they may be easily taken care of during the summer. PARISIAN EFFECT E Simple coiffure of white tulle twisted ed into a knot. In fashionland the decree has gone forth that we are to wear lace hats, lace caps and prettily draped turbans of the same material. These bits of daintiness will be absolutely untrimmed or else decorated with pompons as lights as thistledown. Dutch caps fashioned of the filimest lace, with a band of chiffon framing the face, are lovely for summer wear. Draped turbans of pure white Valenciennes lace correspond beautifully with the lovely lingerie frocks. DAY OR NIGHT. A. M.
