PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADVERTISE IN THIS PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY Colored Men To Give Up Positions VOL. XVIII. Colored Give Up There is very little likelihood that in the future colored waiters will be employed by the leading eating places of New York in large numbers. In fact, within the next week or ten days it is highly probable that there will not be a single colored man carrying a tray in any of the first class hotels or restaurants in Manhattan. At present there are about one hundred waiters working in the best hotels, chiefly at the Plaza, Breslin and Marseiles. Their exit is expected to take place within a few days as the striking whites are giving in and each day finds many returning to work. The hotel managers, while making some of the concessions asked, have flatly refused to recognize the International Hotel Waiters' Union. The colored waiters at present employed could hold their jobs if they desired. They have not been notified that their services would not be needed much longer. To the contrary they have been told they could remain as long as they pleased if their work was satisfactory. At the Hotel Breslin the entire crew is composed of colored men and the management has informed them that there was no disposition to make a change unless they wanted to leave. It is claimed by those familiar with conditions that the colored waiters working at the Plaza and other hotels will soon give up their jobs because they can find more profitable situations during the summer at the various resorts throughout the country. Since the colored men were installed in the white eating places they have been paid at a rate of $3 a day (working seven days) together with their board and lodging. When the white waiters suruck they were only getting $25 a month and board, and protested against the quality of food they were compelled to eat. With the strike over, which will be a matter of a few days only, the colored waiters will be offered $30 a month, which is at a rate of $60 less than what they have been receiving during the strike. They do not think they would profit by working in New York at $30 a month and tips, when they can go to a summer resort where business will be good and make $500 during the season. It was given out Wednesday at the headquarters of the Head and Side Waiters' Association in 53d street that the colored waiters do not contemplate affiliating with the International Hotel Waiters' Union. Negro waiters throughout the country are showing more than ordinary concern in the proposed conference of colored waiters, although there is a difference of opinion as to what lines should be followed in organizing.—New York Age. MORGAN WOULD AID FISK The trustees in New York of Fisk University, a school for training colored teachers at Nashville, Tenn., have received a letter from J. Pierpont Morgan, notifying them that he will subscribe the last $25,000 of the fund which the school must raise to meet the conditions of a gift of $60,000 from the general Education Board. Fisk University is seeking to raise a fund of $560,000. The General Education Board agreed to give $60,000 when $440,000 has been raised. The New York trustees of Fisk University stated recently that the time limit on the conditional gift of $60,000 expires on Saturday of this week, and the university is at this time $137,000 short of the amount it must raise. Many of the gifts are contingent upon raising the entire amount, and the university may lose most of the $500,000 unless the $137,000 is donated by Saturday. MUSTAKEN FOR COL ORED WOMAN Memphis, Tenn., June 10.—Mrs. John A. Cathey 1201 College avenue, manager of the "All-Star Musical Course," today alleged she was mistaken for a colored woman as a basis for her $50,000 damage suit against the Nashville, Chatanooga and St. Louis Railroad filed in the Shelby County Court. In a recent trip to Lebanon, Tenn., Mrs. Cathey says a conductor ordered her into a Jim Crow car. She protested, and claims that he insisted, with the result that she was "shocked and unnerved." It happened that there were persons on the car, it is claimed, who knew Mrs. Cathey, and they corrected the alleged mistake before the conductors order could be executed. Mrs. Cathey is a memphis society leader who conducts a course of subscription concerts each season. DENVER. COLORADO. SATURDAY. JUNE 22 1912. State Hist & Nat Hist bouring State House HANTS WH ADO JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO FRENCH WOMEN RAISE FUND FUR COLORED BACHELORS Paris, June 7.—Surely there are no more kind-hearted people in the world than Parisians. They make a hobby of charity, and as their pocketbooks are not always as capacious as their hearts, they are continually arranging charity bazaars to raise money for all sorts of purposes. But the one recently given is probably the most original of them all. It was organized under the patronage of the charming Comtesse d'Eu, and the amount of 22,000 francs was raised for the wonderful purpose of enabling 110 bachelors of the dark continent to woo and wed the same number of blackshinned maids. The result was proclaimed amid thunders of applause at the general assembly of the French Anti Slavery Society, president over by M. Le Myre de Villers. This gentlemen, who has played an extremely active part in France's colonial expansion, explained to his delighted audience that the society had, in the past eighteen months, been holding an extensive investigation into the matrimonial customs of the Negroes, as a result of which it had ascertained that only men who had money enough to purchase wives were able to wed, and that as it took them many years to save up the necessary sum, they were becoming elderly when they entered the marriage state. As for their juniors, they naturally had to remain single until they had obtained the wherewithal, and even when they had won a wife, they had her only "by a precarious title," as her canny parents took advantage of the faintest pretext to ask for more money. The tender hearts of the members of the society had been melted by the discovery that the course of true love did not run smooth even in those primitive regions, so they decided to facititate wedlock among young Negro couples by advancing to each prospective bridegroom 200 francs, which would be paid back in five years at the rate of forty francs per annum. The 22,000 francs will thus be devoted to the setting up of 110 Negro households, by the way of a start, pending the receipt of other generous donations. It is to be hoped that the parents of those prospective brides will not hear of this marvelous stroke of good luck, being already noted for their grasping proclivities, they may be tempted to double the figure and now anti-slavery. The wife's troubles often begin with her union, and she is usually bond-woman in every sense of the word. The old saying that charity begins at home seems to have been rather overlooked on this occasion. --- PYTHIANS WIN VICTORY UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT DECIDES IN FAVOR OF NEGROES Washington, D.C. June 12. Chief Justice White's decision, which was rendered Monday, in which it was held that the Negro Knights of Pythis of Georgia have the right to use the name and emblems of the order, is regarded as one of the most important decisions ever handed down by the United States Supreme Court relative to the rights of a fraternal organization. In deciding the case in favor of the colored Knight of Pythias all the members of the United States Supreme Court concurred with Chief Justice White except Justice Holmes and Lurton, who dissented. This decision is far-reaching in its effect, as there has been a general movemnet throughout the Southern States to restrain Negro societies from using the names and emblems also used by white orders. Now the white organizations will be compelled to give up their fight in view of the stand by the Supreme Court. The news that the colored Pythians of Georgia had won their case in the highest court of the land has been received with great enthuism by the Negro members of the order throughout the country. Since the ruling in the case of the colored Elks, which was decided against them a few days ago by the New York Court of Appeals, the colored Pythians have been somewhat apprehensive. The position taken by the United Supreme Court is different from the Supreme Court of Georgia, which affirmed the judgment of the lower court enjoining the colored Knights of Pythias of Georgia from using the name of Pythian ot the Pythian emblems and insignia or any imitation of the parent order of that name which has a white membership exclusively. The Georgia court based its decision on the rules of law which protect the public against unfair trade methods. Justice Holmes and Justice Lurton dissented. Chief Justice White held that there was no evidence to show that the colored lodges had injured their white namesakes in any way and inasmuch as the Negroes had maintained their organization without complaint from the whites for more than twenty years, their membership having attained 300,000, the white lodges were guilty of laches and could not be heard to complain in a court of equity under such circumstances.

Baker, a colored man of Detroit, Michigan, sold his patent of a friction heater for street cars to a Canadian company for $160,000. Baker conducted his experiments on a street car in Detroit, Michigan. Senator Shelby M. Cullom, of Illinois, has introduced an amendment to the sundry civil bill allowing more than $1,200,000 to pay depositors of the defunct Freedman Savings and Trust Company. Senator Cullom accompanied the amendment with a letter explaining the nature of the claim of the depositors. Henry Johnson,a prosperous farmer of Carroll County, Tennessee, has successfully demonstrated what thrift and constant attention to work will do for any member of the race. He is the proud owner of 1,700 acres of fertile land, which he has divided into seventeen farms and cultivated by his tenents whose chief crop is cotton. Mr. Johnson frequently has in operation at one time thirty-four plows on his land. He has his own black smith shop, hay-balers, feed-crusher and sorghum mills. Men of Mr. Johnson's type are always in a position to command the respect and recognition of their neighbors both white and colored. The United Garrage Company, capitalized at $15,000 is the name of a new corporation which has recently been organized in Boston. Its object is to build, maintain and lease building for the storage and keeping and repairing automobiles and other motor vehiclekiles, also to sell and operate the same. A tract of land 6,000 square feet has been purchased on Minon street, Back Bay, at a cost of $6,000 on which to put the necessary buildings of the plant.

Whether a railroad that carries a mob to a town to lynch a man is liable for damages to the victim's widow and children, is a puique point to be brought before the SuCourt of the United States. The case will be presented today with a request to review. Mrs. Annie May Rodgers, and three children sued the Vicksburg, Shreveport & Pacific Railroad Company, on charges of having carried by spec- NO 41 ial train, a mob from Monroe, La., to Tallulah, La., where Rodgers was lynched. He had been charged with murdering a man and was about to be released on the ground that he had been tried once before on the charge. The lower Federal Court held that as a matter of law, the railroad might be liable. Atlantic City, N. J., June 12. Atlantic City's first primary under the new system of commission government was productive of a surprise in several respects. A colored man was among the ten out of fifty-four chosen to go before the people July 9, when five of them will be elected Commissioners to rule the city. Political lines and ward distinction were practically obliterated in the voting yesterday which is expected completely to disrupt the ward machines which controlled the election of councilmen and awarding the jobs under the old system for twenty or more years. Dr. Hawkins received 1,644 votes, and if the colored vote stand loyally by their guns, he will be elected by a rousing majority although it is already hinted that obligations of property rights etc., will cause many colored men to throw their support to some other candidate to whom they are obligated in one way or another Springfield, Mass.—Springfield was a proud city yesterday, for the victory of Howard P. Drew of the Springfield high school, who jumpen into national fame by winning the Eastern tryout in the 100 metre dash ar the Stadium on Saturday, caused every loyal citizen of that city to boast of the accomplishment of its fellow citizen. The city was filled with gladness and the name of Howard P. Drew was on every tongue, but in the heart of this young lad but little happiness was to be found. On the other hand his heart was burdened with sorrow, and now it is up to his fellow citizens to get together and help him out. Drew, without a doubt the premier short-distance spinner of this broad country, has been chosen as one of the sprinters who are to represent the United States in its fight for supremacy with the other countries of the world. Drew's parents are poor, and now he is in want of a few dollars which will enable him to make the trip to Sweden and back. The Olympic committee will pay the actual traveling and hotel expenses of the American athletes, but they must pay their own way to New York, and then must necessarily have a few dollars in their pockets. T. R. FORCES WILL NOT BOLT PLAN TO DELAY ACTION SEVERAL WEEKS AND THEN SUMMON ENTIRELY NEW CONVENTION BEING CONSIDERED BY COLONEL. TAFT GETS CONTESTED DELEGATES CREDENTIALS COMMITTEE APPROVES SEATING OF 22 OF THE 78 CONTESTED DELEGATES—OTHERS YET TO BE PASSED ON. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Chicago.—Roosevelt men have switched tactics. They did not bolt the convention and in caucus formally decided not to do so. They have two plans of action. If the Roosevelt contested delegates are not seated, the Roosevelt forces will remain in the hall, but take no part in the proceedings, even if a compromise candidate is urged. Then, when the convention stands adjourned, the Roosevelt delegates are to hold a convention in the same hall and assert its regularity. The organization of a new party, with Roosevelt at its head, is also mooted. Mean-time the Taft forces, still solid, are awaiting developments, confident of the President's nomination.

The organization of a new party, with Roosevelt at its head, is also mooted. Mean-time the Taft forces, still solid, are awaiting developments, confident of the President's nomination. Working slowly through the list of contested delegates referred to it by the Republican national committee, the credentials committee had up to 10 o'clock Thursday night seated twenty-two Taft delegates. This included twelve from Florida, against whom the Roosevelt men made no contest and who were seated unanimously. should be no "bolt" from the regular convention. It is the plan of the Roosevelt delegates to make their last stand on the report of the credentials committee. If the seventy-eight delegates, declared by them to be fraudulent, are seated, the Roosevelt forces will remain in the convention until the end, but will not vote. Of the seventy-eight contested delegates included in Governor Hadley's list of those whom he claimed the national convention "unfairly" indorsed, the following were approved by the credentials committee: Alabama Ninth district, two. Arkansas Fifth district, two. Arizona delegates-at-large, six. Perfect harmony prevailed in the committee. Roosevelt members advocated passing the Florida, Georgia and other similar cases, but the Taft members of the committee insisted on reopening each case passed on by the national committee. The Taft delegates-at-large from Georgia, four in number, were seated W. H. ALBERT B. CUMMINS. Taft's Choice for Compromise Presidential Candidate. on the motion of Harry Shaw of West Virginia, a Roosevelt adherent. The vote was unanimous. The case of the twenty-four Georgia district delegates was put over until later. Former Senator Albert J. Beveridge appeared as counsel for the Roosevelt delegates for the Thirteenth Indiana district, the contest next called. Under the orders of the credentials committee all Indiana cases were re-opened, although the two delegates from the Thirteenth district were the only ones involved in the Hadley-Roosevelt charges of unfair action on the part of the national committee. The Roosevelt members on the national committee had voted for the Taft delegates-at-large from Indiana. The contested Indiana delegates included four delegates-at-large and two each from the First, Third, Fourth and Thirteenth districts. Mr. Beveridge declared that "the grossest and most outrageous repeating" was done in the Indianapolis primaries. He presented affidavits to show that "truck loads of negroes had been taken from one ward to another to vote in each." Col. Theodore Roosevelt has indicated that under certain conditions he might withdraw from the Republican party to take the lead in the formation of a new party. "If the people want a progressive party, I'll be in it," he said. Some of the colonel's supporters urged their associates to precipitate a crisis in the Republication national convention at the earliest opportunity. More conservative counsels finally prevailed and it was decided there Senator Root's address to the convention after his election as temporary chairman Tuesday was in part as follows: "Gentlemen of the Convention: The struggle for leadership in the Republican party which has so long engrossed the attention and excited the feelings of its members is about to be determined by the selection of a candidate. The varying claims of opinion for recognition in the political creed of the party are about to be settled by the adoption of a platform. May Form New Party. should be no "bolt" from the regular convention. It is the plan of the Roosevelt delegates to make their last stand on the report of the credentials committee. If the seventy-eight delegates, declared by them to be fraudulent, are seated, the Roosevelt forces will remain in the convention until the end, but will not vote. It is their plan then to proceed to the nomination of the colonel in the Coliseum and claim regularity for him. Col. Roosevelt has not definitely committed himself to the latter part of this plan. He is considering the advisability of delaying action for several J. HERBERT S. HADLEY. Governor of Missouri. Gchoice of Roosevelt Forces as Compromise Presidential Nominee. weeks, and then to summon an entirely new convention. This would not be held until after the Democrats have acted in Baltimore. The national convention itself marked time waiting for the committee on credentials to conclude its consideration of the contested delegates. It was predicted Thursday night that the nominating stage of the convention might not be reached until late Saturday. A wide latitude of debate is to be allowed in the convention. Col. Roosevelt said emphatically that he would make the independent fight for the presidency if he was convinced there was a popular demand for him. "I shall have to see if there is a popular demand for me to run," he said. He added that the situation was such a kaleidoscopic one that it would be impossible for him to outline what he would do. It might take some time, he said, to ascertain the sentiment of the people, and learn if there was a reasonable basis for the formation of what he termed a "progressive party." One of Col. Roosevelt's associates who talked with him Thursday said that he had declared his willingness to run for President if any considerable number of the delegates wished him to, even if he did not carry a single electoral district in the country. The colonel himself said he believed he would be able to count on the support of the bulk of the Republicans in the Western states, and that he would expect to derive considerable strength from the Democrats. He would not express any opinion how soon after the adjournment of the present convention the new party would be formed, should such a decision be reached. Flinn Bolts of Own Accord. William Flinn, new national committeeman from Pennsylvania and one of Colonel Roosevelt's chief lieutenants in the nomination battle, confirmed a report that he had left the regular Republican organization after the all-night conference with Roosevelt leaders. "I am done with that committee," he said. "That's all there is to it." H. G. Wasson, a Flinn lieutenant, has been chosen as his successor. "We claim that we are entitled to a popular vote of confidence at the coming election because we have demonstrated that we are the party of affirmative, constructive policies for the betterment and progress of our country in all the fields upon which the activity and influence of government can rightly enter. "We claim it because we have shown ourselves a party of honest, efficient and economical administration in which public moneys are faithfully applied, appointments are made on grounds of merit." Roosevelt "Beaten to a Frazzle." Eleventh hour efforts to prevent a split in the Republican party were made Thursday as soon as the leaders could get together. The Taft generals ascerted that they had the Theodore Roosevelt "beaten to a frazzle," but they showed their willingness to save the party by uniting upon a compromise candidate. The chief of the Taft "peace delegation" was Murray Crane, senator from Massachusetts, and the man he picked for the compromise candidate was Albert B. Cummins, senator from Iowa. A four-hour conference was held by Senator Crane and Senator Kenyon of Iowa, the Cummins commander-in-chief. This ended early in the day and at the time Senator Crane stated that the two discussed replacing Tatt with Cummins before the convention and that there was good reason to believe the factional fight would be settled. Colonel Roosevelt plunged into his plan of campaign as soon as he arose Thursday morning. He had only a few hours' sleep, but he was the first man in his camp to get out of bed. Before 8 o'clock his personal bodyguard, Frank Tyre, a United States marshal from West Virginia, was summoned to the colonel's quarters. B. T. Sprinkle, sheriff of McDowell county, West Virginia, who guards the front door to the presidential suite, in which Colonel Roosevelt holds most of his war conferences, took his station at 7:45 o'clock. Colonel Roosevelt ordered a heavy breakfast and ate heartily. The colonel was unusually careful in the selection of the men whom he summoned to his first war council. He knew there was revolt threatened in his camp. He parted in anger with Governor Hadley of Missouri early in the morning. Roosevelt Favors Hadley. Colonel Roosevelt has announced privately that Governor Hadley of Missouri would be a satisfactory candidate provided he were nominated without the vote of seventy-eight contested 'delegates. Roosevelt added that it was now a fight for principle and not for persons. Hughes, Cummins and Hadley With the split between Taft, and Roosevelt forces in the Republican national convention having at last reached the point where a definite threat to bolt had been made, many of the panic-stricken delegates in the city turned desperately Thursday to the task of stirring up sentiment for a compromise candidate. Justice Hughes of the Supreme Court, Governor Hadley of Missouri and Senator Cummins were the names under consideration. Practically all of the talk of a compromise candidate comes from the Roosevelt followers. There was evidences early in the day for a nearly complete disintegration of the Roosevelt forces. They appeared to be fighting desperately. The colonel's quarters were besieged by a mass of his followers and delegates seeking advice. Resolutions Committee. The resolutions committee of the Republican national convention, which is the platform committee, sat Thursday for the purpose of receiving people with grievances and suggestions. They received a number of delegations—civil service reformers, suffragettes, people with schemes for navigation improvement, all sorts of people with ideas for special numbers on the federal program for the next four years. All these suggestions were turned over to a sub-committee of nine who will assemble the suggestions for final action by the whole committee. When the name of former Vice President Fairbanks was presented for chairman of the committee the Roosevelt leaders promptly nominated Governor Hadley of Missouri. Before it had fairly begun, however, it became evident that the Roosevelt men were hopelessly outnumbered and they withdrew their candidate. Then the election of Fairbanks as chairman was made unanimous. The sub-committee to assemble suggestions includes six Taft men against three Roosevelt men. Following are the members of the committee: Chester H. Rowell, Roosevelt. Herbert S. Hadley, Roosevelt. William Draper Lewis, Roosevelt. Charles Hopkins Smith, Taft. William Barnes, Jr., Taft. George Sutherland, Taft. Dr. D. Lawrence Gronna, Taft. Charles W. Fairbanks, Taft. H. Clayton Evans, Taft. Representative William E. Bundy of Illinois presented a plank providing for the improvement of navigable streams, for the linking of rivers, bays and sounds by a canal system; for the improvement of Mississippi river conditions and for a permanent navigable waterway from Chicago through the great lakes. Samuel Gompers presented a plank for the creation of better labor conditions throughout the country. Million Words Wired In One Day. Figures compiled by the telegraph companies in Chicago show that all records for outgoing dispatches were broken at the opening day of the Republican national convention. It was said that approximately 1,000,000 words were handled. Colonel Takes Absolute Command. Some of the friends of Mr. Roosevelt were not so certain Wednesday that the colonel would not have some plan in his mind which might upset things. That the colonel has taken absolute, dominating command of the situation seems a certainty. He issues orders like an officer in the field, and has messengers rushing about with dispatches for the Roosevelt leaders who came in haste to his quarters. "The colonel is absolute boss," said one of the Roosevelt lieutenants. "We know of no change in the campaign plans up to date, but he might change them at any moment."

DO IT NOW Subscribe for THIS PAPER "SEE AMERICA FIRST" SPIRIT THE RAILWAYS New Santa Fe Trail Along the Fort Lyon Irrigating Canal in the Arkansas Valley, Colorado. The "See America First" spirit is taking a new grip on the western states, according to information received from that section. They say out there that "if you must see Europe, why, see it; but see America first." In the Rocky mountain region just now the advocates of this patriotic principle are talking a great deal about the south and are urging people who live in the west to visit the southland and get in closer touch with its people. In Colorado, especially, is this true. built along what was known as the old Santa Fe trail, but now called the New Santa Fe trail, which has been designated as part of the transcontinental highway. For miles and miles this highway is said to be as smooth as a city street. The route leads to Pueblo, designated as the Pittsburg of the west, owing to the vast steel works in operation there; thence to Colorado Springs and on to Denver. Colorado people are pushing the construction of automobile highways in the state and are looking to the southern states to do the same, so that during the winter automobile Colorado has had many southern people within her borders within the last year and a special effort is being put forward to induce more to visit that state in the summer months. From Texas and Oklahoma last summer, it is said, a large number of people journeyed to Colorado in their automobiles. They entered the state by way of the great Arkansas valley, which is said to be one of the largest irrigated areas in the world, embracing more than 500,000 acres. A new automobile highway has been WEEK'S EVENTS IN COLORADO Western Newpaper Union News Service. COMING EVENTS IN COLORADO.

Pueblo—A formal opening that proved so informal and enjoyable and picnic-like that it will be long remembered was that of the new line from Pueblo to Stone City, a distance of twelve miles. More than 250 Pueblans and other especially invited guests and newspaper men were taken over the new road in a special car. Civil Service Reform Petition. Pueblo.-The Civil Service Reform Association, which is backing the amendment to the state civil service act of 1907, expects to get 7,000 signatures to the petitions circulated for the bill to be initiated at the fall election. The bill provides that all employés of the state, except those in the educational institutions, shall serve during good behavior, regardless of political affiliations. It also forbids them contributing to political campaigns or taking active part in politics. Van Diest Succeeds Guiterman. Golden. Governor Shafroth appointed Edmond C. Van Diest of Colorado Springs to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Franklin Gutterman as a member of the board of trustees of the State School of Mines. Mr. Van Diest is a graduate of the State School of Mines, class of 1886, and is one of the best known mining engineers in Colorado. built along what was known as the old Santa Fe trail, but now called the New Santa Fe trail, which has been designated as part of the trans-continental highway. For miles and miles this highway is said to be as smooth as a city street. The route leads to Pueblo, designated as the Pittsburg of the west, owing to the vast steel works in operation there; thence to Colorado Springs and on to Denver. Colorado people are pushing the construction of automobile highways in the state and are looking to the southern states to do the same, so that during the winter automobile owners from that state can motor through the south. Colorado has 33,000 miles of roads, of which 20,000 are passable by automobile and 4,500 miles are improved roads. Good hotels and garages can be found in every town in the state where the population exceeds 1,000, according to information sent out from the state highway commission. From this same source it is learned that Colorado expended $1,750,000 on its roads in 1911, and will expend $2,400,000 in 1912. To Pay Off Railroad Indebtedness. Denver.—At a meeting of stock and bondholders of the Denver, Laramie & Northwestern railroad a plan for raising $150,000 among themselves to pay off the company's floating indebtedness preliminary to making an application to the District Court for the discharge of the receivers was discussed. Limon Bond Election Limon.—A special school election will be held in Limon on July 1 to vote on the questions of selling school property, purchasing a new school building site, levying a special tax, and contracting a bonded debt. The bonded indebtedness will be $13,500, and the new structure, if the issue carries, will cost in the neighborhood of $16,000. Snow Sweeps Southwestern Colorado. Trinidad.—Heavy snows have swept across central and southwestern Colorado. The fall measured from a few inches to two feet in depth. While the storms are unparalleled for the season of year, it is believed that so far fruit and other crops have escaped injury. The snow was accompanied by lower temperature, but unless this is followed by clear skies, farmers have no fear of frost. Colorado Springs experienced the first snow that has been recorded in the Pike's Peak region. Cripple Creek presents an appearance that suggests the Christmas season. At Garland snow fell half a day. The foot of the Sangre de Cristo mountains and the east side of the San Luis valley are covered with a white mantle. The crops have not been damaged in this section. Fairplay, Hartsel, Jefferson and the South Park country generally show as high as eighteen inches of snow in places. Fairplay is smothered under almost two feet of snow. Snow fell for two hours at Trinidad, a phenomenon never before recorded in that city, according to the oldest settlers. A light rain at Cañon City turned to snow. All the violence of winter accompanied it. A high wind prevailed. The snow melted as fast as it fell. Snow fell at Cliff and Querida. The Cooper mountains between Cañon City and Cripple Creek were white. This melted rapidly. It was the first snowfall that had visited the Arkansas valley in seven years. No damage was reported. The foothills back of Golden and on to Idaho Springs showed a light fall for half a day. Rain prevailed in this section. To Educate Y. M. C. A. Boys. Grand Junction.—Financial, political and industrial education for boys of Grand Junction is the purpose of a new movement launched here by Secretary E. S. Calloway of the boys' department of the Y. M. C. A. His equipment for the course is a bank, an employment bureau and a lecture course made up of addresses on progressive political movements by City Attorney Tupper, James W. Bucklin, Karl A. Bickel and others. LITTLE COLORADO ITEMS. Small Happenings Occurring Over the State Worth While. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Walter Irwin of Cripple Creek was killed by a highwayman. Mrs. Ika Martinez of Olathe is the mother of triplets, born recently. The Argentine Central railway has been sold at sheriff's sale for $224,000. Delta fruit people fear serious damage to the crop from a shortage of help. Rains throughout the Platte valley have done crops thousands of dollars of benefit.

The Argentine Central railroad was sold recently at the court house in Georgetown. The mountains in the vicinity of Central City are covered with three inches of snow. The road to the Santiago mine in East Argentine district is opened after a blockade of six weeks. Seventy-five feet of the cement retaining wall of the big Miller creek ditch at Meeker, has caved in. Because of the rock slide above Sulphur Springs all passenger trains on the Moffat road have been delayed. The hay now being harvested in the Ordway country is the best that has been cut in that section for years. Pricking a pimple with a pin has resulted in a bad case of blood poisoning for Miss Annie Dupper of La Salle. John Anderson and Abraham Allred were crushed to death in an accident at the Last Chance mine at Creede. Fred Pill, who killed George Kerber Oct. 24, 1909 at Johnstown, has been sentenced to eight years in the penitentiary. Horace Greeley Dixon, the first baby born in Greeley, celebrated the forty-second anniversary of his birth June 18. Several Colorado educational institutions may not be able to open for the fall term on account of a shortage of funds. Repair of the damage done recently by high water in the Grand river at Glenwood Springs is rapidly nearing completion. The Methodists of Meeker have just completed one of the best and most comfortable parsonages on the Western slope. The offices of light inspector and garbage inspector for Denver have been consolidated, saving the taxpayers $1,800 a year. Alfred Faynor, who recently died in the poor house at Pueblo, was heir to an estate of $400,000, which he would have soon received. An unusually brill'ant program of public lectures has been arranged for the summer session of the University of Colorado at Boulder. The Colorado State Fair Association is sending out programs of the Santa Fé race meet, which commences at Las Animas August 28.

The Colorado & Southern's motion for a change of venue in the suit to compel them to resume operations between Como and Breckenridge has been denied. Representatives of the Greeters' Association of America, are in Grand Junction seeking a location for the $100,000 home they propose building for worn out hotel clerks. Financial, political and industrial education for boys of Grand Junction is the purpose of a new movement launched by Secretary E. S. Calloway of the boys' department of the Y. M. C. A. In the Frederick municipal election contest case, Judge Bradfield reversed the decision of the election board and found that the Citizens ticket instead of the People's Party ticket was elected April 2. By a vote of 43 to 4, taxpayers of Oak Creek authorized a bond issue of $30,000 for construction of a municipal gravity system water works, the work to be commenced immediately and completed before fall. Eight miles of wire were recently cut on Wild Cat, seven miles north of Fort Morgan. The damage is attributed to cattlemen by the homesteaders who fenced the land along the creek nearly its entire length in the range country. By a decision of the Supreme Court which declares the sales of two sections of state land near Wray, to C. B Briggs and L. D. Brown were conducted illegally, the school fund has been saved $18,560, according to President Keating, of the State Land Board. In a fight now on between the Denver school board and the janitors, the latter charge certain principals of various schools with dishonesty in their methods of increasing the attendance to 900 pupils in order to draw a salary of $2,000 a year. Pupils are traded back and forth, the janitors charge, to keep the attendance to the required figure. Mrs. Julia Clarke of Denver, twenty-eight years old and one of the three flying licensed female aviation pilots, was killed at the Illinois state fair grounds at Springfield, Ill. EXPLOSION KILLS TWELVE MINERS POCKET OF GAS "GOES OFF" AT HASTINGS COLLIERY NEAR TRINIDAD, COLORADO. SEVEN BODIES RESCUED SEVEN BODIES RESCUED THE UNITED STATES RESCUE CAR AND CREW AT WORK; ALL ARE BELIEVED DEAD. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Trinidad, Colo.—Twelve men were caught like rats in a trap when an explosion occurred in the Hastings mine of the Victor-American Fuel Company Tuesday night. All are believed to be dead. Seven bodies have been recovered by the rescue crews, among them being that of Fire Boss John Thomas. The bodies were scorched, but not otherwise in bad condition. Indications show that the men died of suffocation after the explosion. The work of getting the bodies from the mass of wreckage which blocked the slope was accomplished quietly and without excitement. The members of the rescue gangs worked like so many machines. Barriers of rock and timber were swept away before the onslaughts of the grim workers. As fast as the dead are removed from the mine they are being placed in the temporary morgue near the mouth of the shaft. Wednesday evening the United States government rescue car and its crew of famed men reached Hastings and the crew at once joined in the work of recovering the bodies. It is believed that the remaining five men in the mine are in the extreme entry, and to reach them it will be necessary to clear away almost a solid wall of wreckage which the explosion heaped up near the cutoff of the south portion of the slope. The explosion was caused by a windy shaft setting off a pocket of gas. It caught the thirteen members of the night shift like rats in a trap with no chance to escape. George Pappas, a Greek, his body mangled, was rescued alive from behind a wall of rocks shortly before 2 o'clock Wednesday morning. The body of an unidentified man was taken out shortly before 3 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. The explosion took place in what is known as "C" seam shortly after 10 o'clock Tuesday night, but was not known until long after midnight when night watchmen saw smoke coming out of the mouth of the slope. Casting the light of their lanterns into the mouth of the slope the men discovered the entrance choked with wreckage. The alarm was at once spread and within a few minutes the mine officials and a small army of trained men were on the scene. Life-saving equipment was hastily assembled and a small force led by Superintendent Cameron entered the mine. They had proceeded but a few feet when the foul air swept down upon them. General Superintendent McDermott was notified and upon his arrival the men were organized into squads to take up the work of rescue. General Manager W. A. Murray of Denver was notified by wire and left at once for the scene. Louisiana Floods Continue. New Orleans.—Flood conditions will continue in several southeastern Louisiana parishes until autumn unless the present determination not to attempt to close the break in the Mississippi levee at Hymelia is changed. Woman Snatches Bryan's Ticket. Chicago.—William Jennings Bryan's ticket to the Republican National Convention as a reporter for a number of newspapers was snatched out of his hand at the door of the Coliseum by a woman. At the police station $1,000 was found sewed in pockets in her underskirt. Bryan's ticket was restored and the woman will be examined for her sanity. After taking the ticket she tried to enter the hall. Johnson Defeats Winters. Alamosa, Colo.—Eddie Johnson of Pueblo was given a well-earned decision over E. V. Winters of Raton here at the end of fifteen fast and exciting rounds. The Pueblo boy was the aggressor throughout although Winters more than held his own in the first eight rounds. Boy Drowns In Creek. Delta, Colo.—Warren, nine-year-old son of O. C. Collins, was drowned in a creek leading to the Uncompahgre river, near their home. Bubonic Plague In San Juan. San Juan, P.

If the National Republican Conferences are good things and prop to start a great campaign. The ninetees ought to catch the spatives of the various elements and may soon be too late. The stituting of spineless servants of the long roll has time to begin. The Chairman of the National Republican Committee evidently believes that conferences are good things and proper preliminary procedure with which to start a great campaign. The chairmen of the state and local committees ought to catch the spirit and get to work among the representatives of the various elements in the party ranks. It is none too early and may soon be too late. The system of cajoling and drifting and substituting of spineless servants is a dead one. Sound the assembly before the long roll has time to begin. DRIVE OUT THE DIVES There is a growing necessity in all large cities where there is a rowdy class of loafing and drinking Negroes for the better class of respectable colored people to form law and order organizations to assist the police department to put their hands at the throat of this increasing evil, besides such an organization would make it clear where the better class of colored people stand on the question of criminality among the race. The trouble heretofore is that the Negro outlaws, degenerates and gamblers who have made necessary the taking of active steps to safeguard womanhood and public safety do not come under the influence of the best class of colored people and therefore are not reached by the pulpits, press, schools or moral efforts of any kind. Their habitat are the dives, gambling hells and low resorts of the city kept by both white and colored proprietors, where the most lewd morals and debased forms of vice are the ordinary routine of life and the rendezvous of experienced crime. Moral influences do not penetrate these vicious characters or their habitat. The only influence that they comprehend and respect is brute force and the police force must apply that drastic measure, hence the need of such an organized effort as a law and order league in order to preserve our own safety and reputation. While we deplore advocating such steps, yet self protection and the protection of the race are essential and the better thinking element among us see the necessity of such a movement. The daily papers are burdened with the story of crime and we need to see and feel that the law cannot do all, but it depends upon good citizenry to assist in its application and execution. The time has come for action. While others are organized to act against us, let us organize to act for personal and racial protection. COMPETENT MEN AND WOMEN DESIRABLE. Never was there a time in the history of our race when thoroughly competent men and women were more desired—one hundred per cent men. We have a lot of forty, fifty and sixty per cent men, but par excellent, accomplished, thoroughly furnished, proof test, prepared men are still at a premium. Has it never occurred to you when you look around for a qualified, strong, clean, reliable, intelligent man or woman that this kind of article is very scarce? Much of our trouble is lack of this kind of material. If you will just investigate for yourself and go into examination among the present list of so-called best people you will be surprised. It is strange that our young men and women cannot or do not learn this one valuable lesson—that position, pay and promotion lie open to those who will fit themselves thoroughly to take responsible places and fill them with credit and honor. Employees, officers, places, high honors, promotions and noble careers are waiting for men of character and brains right here in Denver. A man thoroughly competent to do good, rapid, exact, careful work, thoroughly honest, industrious, punctual and frugal will rarely have to look far for employment. Work and wages will surely find him out, and the laws of recompense and compensation will assuredly obtain in his favor. A bungler, a cobbler, a make-appear is certain to give place to a better. Men of affairs are constantly looking for the best, not a makeshift. The fault of incompetence may not have distressing effect in the case of ordinary labor or hostler, but it assumes the proportions of crime when it reaches higher and more responsible positions. A stenographer has no right to expect employment when his or her work is not reliable and their speed and execution dexterous and correct. A position as private secretary calls for exacting pains for detail and alertness in anticipating the needs of employer. A clerical position in office or store or shop calls for thoughtfulness and exactness in computation and quick knowledge of figures and of buying and selling and operating cost. A clergyman or political leader has no right even to assume leadership in things spiritual or political when his life is steeped in ignorance and his mind uncultured by previous training, and so on through every profession and duty. The days of paid ignorance and incompetence are doomed in the land, the incompetent and unprepared, struggle as they may, must settle down to defeat. Even if their friends hold them up, those who require their services will object. The young men and women who would stem the current must make the preparation for the successful performance of duty. Apologists, trimmers, the makeshifts, get-bys, must mend their ways or go to the dump pile. The age clearly and certainly calls for one hundred per cent men, who will carry their end of the burden, do their share of the world's work, hold their own in competition, excel in comparison, meet new exigencies and win in the struggle. If you cannot meet these serious, trying, taxing conditions, then do not wonder that you are distanced in the race. SOME of the brainiest business men in America assure us that the human element is entering more and more into the business affairs of the world. They tell us that the days of cutthroat competition are already gone, and that they will never return; that the question of service value is obtruding itself so persistently that it is impossible that it should much longer be disregarded. It is not necessary that one should be a very close student in order to find positive evidence that such a change is taking place. In a word, we are getting to the point where we are willing to assert with all the force of public opinion that the old rule, "Enough is enough," applies to one class of people quite as much as to another. Ten or fifteen years ago men ran their business affairs as if the general public had no rights in the matter. The sole inspiration for business was the accumulation of earnings from which to declare dividends, and any apparent desire on the part of the people to penetrate beneath the surface of things was promptly checkmated. "The public be damned" was the rule in many offices that had nothing to do with railway management. Today there is still a certain amount of this spirit, but it is rapidly being eliminated. The judicial and legislative investigations of big business enterprises have shown man that he cannot ride roughshod over his fellows forever. As a result, the better days are already dawning. As George W. Perkins suggests, the time has come when the "only kind of a trust that can live is one that makes money for its stockholders by manufacturing a commodity that the people need for a less price than they were able to get it for before." This is but another way of saying that service value is beginning to be an important factor in the commercial world, and, fortunately, the term "service value" does not apply to one class alone. It is not sufficient that a business should be of value to its owners. It must also have a distinct service value to the community, or it is destined to go into the discard. the Anglo-Norman. This man with his hard feudalistic spirit, knowing nothing of or caring nothing for sympathy, much less brotherhood, as between man and man, believing only in conquest and dominion, upon him the fugus of snobbery grew apace. Every one of us today who humiliates a man because he is poor or insignificant or toadies to another because he is rich or powerful is imitating the Anglo-Norman. Beyond any question of doubt snobbery is a large and flourishing growth in this country. But it is somewhat differentiated from the English species. There in general "blood" is the object of worship; here it is more apt to be money. We have, it is true, our devotees of "blood" too, but they are not quite sure of themselves. Of course there are many degrees of snobbery and it is to be found in the kitchen as well as in the parlor. How to eradicate it? Ah, I wish I could tell. I fear satire will never do it. For do we not know that Thackeray's great work, "The Book of Snobs," was written in vain? dent who is forced to spend his few hours of recreation laboriously and zealously accumulating a knowledge of the finer technicalities of law. What about them? If this theory were put in practice it would with one bold strike obliterate opportunity and ambition. Attorneys who have attended night school should consider the struggling student and remember all they themselves have endured. Let us all bear in mind that talent may be stimulated by study, but it cannot be manufactured. We school and drill our children and youth in schoolma'am mannerism, schoolmaster mind-ankylosis, school-superintendent stiff-joint ceremonialism, factory regulations and office discipline. Originality is suppressed, individuality is crushed. Mediocrity is at a premium. Growth of Snobbery in This Country By CHARLES JAMES New York the Anglo-Norman.

There has recently been much discussion in regard to prolonging the preliminary courses of study for the various professions, notably the legal vocation.

She lived at 3531 Blake street and moved recently. She has three daughters, a son, fourteen grand-children and three great-grand-children. She was a "mammy" to Tilden Johnson's children in Missouri and acted as a "mammy" to his children when he moved to Colorado. NOTICE.

Last Sunday was a high day at Scott's. The new district superintendent, the Rev. Dudley Smith, preached three soul-stirring sermons. In spite of the inclement weather the full claim was raised. Rev. Smith complimented the pastor and officials for the work done during the three months. He was very much pleased with the reports coming from all departments. He left for Colorado Springs Tuesday. On Monday evening a grand reception was given to the district superintendent by the stewards. Each department was represented very ably by the following speakers: Prof. L. H. Lightner, Rev. J. D. Rice, John F. Thomas, Mrs. Anna McPherson, Mrs. Ada Castry, Mrs. Floratein Dooley, Geo. B. Pash, Miss Lola Rice, Mrs. Claudie Pash, Mrs. Anna Rice, F. D. McPherson. The district superintendent responded in a happy vein. The pastor acted as master of ceremonies. There was much enthusiasm generated by this splendid social function. All friends of the Rev. J. D. Rice are cordially invited to hear him deliver his graduating sermon Sunday evening, June 23rd. Come early in order to secure a comfortable seat. Rev. Rice is very popular in this city among all the churches because of his broad minded spirit. The choir will sing special music for the occasion. Four new members were added to the church roll Sunday. The following have cast their lot with us: Wm. Murdock, Hot Springs, Arkansas; Miss Hattie Richardson, Shreveport, Louisiana; Mrs. Amanda Bell, Covington, Tennessee. Remember our slogan, "fifty new members this conference year." We have one-fifth of that number already. We will start a revival some time in September. Let us pull together. The choir was entertained last Friday evening by its newly elected president, Mrs. Mary L. Hicks, who has served very faithfully for one year. The following are her co-workers: Miss Alberta Middle Brooks, secretary; Chas. L. Smith, treasurer; Cornellius Rice, librarian. Words of praise were spoken concerning their sweet singing Sunday. The junior choir, under the leadership of Mrs. Dooley and Miss Rice, is singing better than ever. Miss Rice has held the position of organist for the past four years. She is second to none.

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.

Be the Price SIXTEENTH STREET Opposite Daniels & Fisher AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS We were present recently at a meeting in which one of the speakers, an old friend of ours, discussed some phases of Murray's “Race Ideals,” and objected in his own vigorous way to certain conclusions reached by that author. Seeing us in the audi- ence, he stated that he objected to our own position on the same phase of that subject. The doctrine or {dea to which our friend objected so stren- uously was that of building up race enterprises by race patronage, He took the ground that in advocating the patronage of these enterprises by negroes we are Hkely to stir up race prejudice, or xt least that we would be construed as doing so; and that when the negro boy or girl 1s taught or urged to spend money with the negro in business, that boy or girl 1s more than likely to feel hatred to- wards the white man who {s not get- ting that trade. It fs a vital argu- ment and because it may possibly represent the {deas and thoughts of hundreds of others who habitually give negro enterprises “absent treat- ment,” we purpose to examine the argument and see ff it has {ts founda- tion in fact or fancy. And we do 80, not out of any spirit of ill will, for we concede to every man the same right that we claim for ourselves: the right to examine any subject fear- lessly and to derive from {t any con- clusion that may seem to be warrant- ed by the facts in hand, and this without worrying a moment as to whether that conclusion does or does not coincide with that of the major- ity, The situation that confronts us as a race today 1s this: We are very largely a race without Jobs. We are preparing thousands of boys and girls for jobs which—so far as they and we are concerned—do not now exist, but must be created, The jobs mast be supplied by the race or these boys and girls must remain out of such Jobs, and the race must content It- self by trying to rise only by remain- Ing “hewers of wood and drawers of water.” The white man has jobs in abundance, but as long as human na- ture remains as it is he 1s going to give the best of those jobs to his own people, and we don't blame him a bit. Our contention has always been that instead of expecting the white man to furnish these Jobs for us and of get: ting riled at him because he doesn't do so, the best thing for us to do Is to set to work systematically to cre- ate and develop these jobs. There 1s only one way to do this and that Is by our supporting them. Until about two decades ago we were laboring un der an impression stmilar to that un- der which many young converts la- bor: they get converted, join the church and figure that In six months thereafter they will be in heaven. It used to be thought by many of us that education would solve all of our diffl- culties. Instead it has added to our difficulties, just as it has done with all other people. As education in- creases we find that “Hills peep over hills, and Alps on Alps arise.” We must scale them or remain in the val- ley. Some of us have our faces turn- ed to the east—to sunrise, not sun- set—and our gaze fixed on the horl- zon in the purple distance! ‘There are hundreds of young men and wom- en In various schools who are study- ing pharmacy, stenography, ookea ing, Journalism, ete, Is there any like- Mhood that they can find employment fn the white man’s business enter- prises suitable to their talents? They have about as much show for that as they have of becoming president of the United States. It 1s just prob- able that the ownership of land by the negro causes prejudice on the part of some white people, Shall we quit buying land? And {f it be true that advocating the patronage of negro en- terprises by negroes causes race pre- Judice shall everybody become silent and not say a mumbling word? What crime does a man commit when he so advises? Is {t any crime for a boy to be taught that 1f he ever expects to hold a Job as a clerk, bookkeeper, Journalist, bank cashler, etc., he will have to look to -his own people for the same, and that he must contrib- ute his share now in helping to build up enterprises of that sort and make a place for himself? Is he Itkely to con@eive any hatred toward the white man on that account? And isn't it better that he whould be shown the situation now, rather than make prep- aration and then become “soured” be- cause the white man won't give him any such place If my friond is right in his argument, then the idea that Bave existence to the National Negro Business league {s dead wrong and when a black man establishes’a little grocery store one among the negroes the logical method will be for every- body to play “mum” both with tongue and money! And further—and we Press this potnt—if one fs stirring up race hatred by advocating the sup rely upon the negro. Why the bet- ter class of white do not hesitate to say that negroes ought to patronize one another. Does the doctrine be- come dangerous when advocated by a negro? We believe our friend's argu- ment 1s based upon a victous fallacy —a fallacy that is rendered untenable by the facts in hand. We believe racial il) will to be far less in evidence where there are thriving negro bust- ness enterprises than where the ne- gro has nothing and wants nothing of the sort. But why talk? The facts remain that if a man goes in to swim he runs some risk of being drowned, especially if he ts trying to learn how to swim, and that other fact !s equal- ly inexorable: he never will learn how to swim until he does get in the water. From everywhere come reports that the negro is going into the com- mercial waters and challenging all the dangers and perils involved. Other races have done and are doing the same. Why not the negro? Soraya ae dee arte eek ee eee a re Yee Negro,” is a comprehensive and fair historical estimate, and students are reading it with avidity. Recently the papers have been teeming with letters on this work, and although men have drawn conclusions, the consensus {s Indeed favorable in the matter of ac- curacy. One striking feature {s, the part played by the Quakers in the mat- ter of practical ald and sympathy for the colored people of Pennsylvania and elsewhere. Very many colored people either condemn or fail to award the Quakers their just due. In the first place this sect has always consistently and rigidly lved up to conscience. What they exact from themselves, they demand from others. They have always paid promptly and made others do ikewise. When they bargain for work, the bargain must be lived up to. An appointment for a certain hour means that. Some people wince under a restraint, who are themselves lax of habit. All these things foster preju- dice; but what Is needed is to ap- proach the attitude of the Quakers with a dispassionate mind. The best way 1s to recount just what they did. It 1s true that they were to a degree slave holders at the beginning and for the reason of the paucity of unskilled labor. They did not see the enormity of human bondage as quickly as the Germans, because they really began to wage war against the system as early as 1688 in Pennsylvania, but when they did, it became general. Even when chattel ownership was common, {t was mollified by the Quakers in ways unlike others. They clothed them better, fed them decently and made it a point to teach them trades and text books—Pencil Pusher in Philadelphia Tribune. Mr. J. Plerpont Morgan, the great American financier, talking of the money loss. by the wrecking of the Titanic to a Paris reporter, said: “Oh, some one pays. There is no such thing as money losses in existence.” ‘That is interesting, from so high an authority. The intrinsic value of the ship and the actual cash and jewelry values that were sunk to the bottom of the sea cannot be recovered, but the compensation will be made by wealth out of the sea in other forms, such as fish for food, salt, pearls, and the like, but the recompensation can- not be got without the expenditure of other values in cost of machinery and of labor. The wealth !s not lost, it is true, but fs withdrawn from {mme- diate availability for useful purposes. Years ago a young colored boy named Douglass went to Europe and studied the violin under the celebrated Rapoldi, a pupil of the master Spohr. He returned to America; but what was there in America for a colored man who knew music and who knew it bet- ‘ter than his white contemporaries? ‘He could do little, put one thing he did do which bore fruit. He saw a lit- tle white boy trying to teach himself to pley the fiddle. He taught this lit- tle boy and the boy is now David Mannes, director of the New York Mu- sle School Settlement. Is it not fit- ting that David Mannes should be the prime mover in the establishment of a musie school for Negroes now con- ducted in this city by David Irwin “Mannes?—The Crisis. We haye had but little spring, and summer {s now upon us. And we should not forget to make every prep- aration to buy a home, because, if a poor man has a chance to lay aside anything toward the purchase price of ‘a home, It is in the summer time. For this is the season which brings to a lower ebb the cost of living. And thus he 1s enabled to lay aside a few dol- lars. And we hope that the saving made In this way will be applied on a ‘home.—Omaha Enterprise. Tom Kennedy and Carl Morrie “white hopes,” who were once clum- oring for Johnson's scalp, have retired to the “also ran" class.

At Tus: kegee refractory students are pun: ished, not by setting them at extra tasks but by giving them no work to do. The great idea of the institute is to drill into the students the principle that labor is a privilege, hence work is never prescribed as a punishment, for that would be an inconsistency. Enforced idleness proves penalty enough, and after less than a day of lounging, a misfit in a busy commun- ity, a drone among the workers, the disobedient student generally goes to the commandant and begs to be put to work, The discipline is admirable, Eyer ‘since the opening of the school the students have been on a military sys- tem of some sort. The first day the student body assembled thirty years ago {t marched to chapel, and it bes been doing so ever since, drilling in the morning, marching to dinner aft- er a review at noon, marching to chapel at night, marching back to the dormitories after a review procession before the faculty on the platform, as- sembling on dress parade every Sun- day morning and on alternate morn- ings during the week, marching and drilling and becoming impregnated with the idea of order, system, obedi- ence and discipline. It is a sight never to be forgotten to see 1,700 students march into the great dining hall at noon, sald to be the largest dining room in the coun- try, and stand at attention until grace is sung. Then the silence is broken, chairs are pulled out and conversation starts up with such a roar that the band is kept playing in the balcony to drown the noise. There is nothing boisterous, but 1,700 voices engaged in simultaneous talk make rather a cataract of sound, Visitors rarely fail to comment up- on the table manners of the students. At Tuskegee. table manners are as much a part of the curriculum as is work in the shops or recitations in the classrooms. The man at the head of the table does the serving, assisted by a student on each side. There is none of the grabbing, none of the meat spearing and the bread harpooning that is a far from unusual feature of the life in the boarding clubs of many @ northern college, The students are served, and the rule of the school is that each shall eat everything that is placed upon his plate without passing remarks upon the cooking, if, indeed, such averse remarks could be made. The food comes fresh from the insti- tute farm, raised by the students, cooked by the students, served by the students and eaten by the students, and the variety of edibles placed on the table serves as another object les- son of the benefits derived from skill- ful labor on the soi}. The student who goes out from Tuskegee {s so accus- tomed to an excellent table, that, if a farmer, he at once prepares to raise all the vegetables in their season, his farm becomes an object lesson for the surrounding community and gradually leads to a higher standard of living, which is the great object sought, for Tuskegee’s real problem is not 80 much to educate a few thousand boys and girls as to change conditions among the masses of the negro peo- ple. Three or four years ago the Univer- sity of Cincinnati started to educate the students in its technical courses by providing alternate days for theory and practice, one day being spent in the classroom and the next day in a real factory, where the students would not only learn how to build things, but would have the inspiration coming from the building of things actually to be used. This Idea created a furore in the educational world; it was ac- claimed as the newest and most ad- vanced {dea in technical education. Booker Washington, however, nas been applying that {dea at Tuskegee for the last thirty years. The stu- dents spend one day in the classroom, and one day on the farm or in the shops, where they turn out products that are to be used. ‘The grea cry among the great tech- nical colleges has been that tn the practice work the students build things that are torn down as soon as they are constructed. The energizing force that comes from creating some- thing that is to be utilized {s lacking. What inspiration 1s there in building a model bridge when the student knows it {s going to be torn down as soon as the last bolt {8 in place? Edu: eators {n technical institutions have lamented this loudly. _ At Tuskegee the boy in the taflor- ing-shop makes uniforms that are worn by the students. The head of the department still talks of the sult of clothes the boys made for Andrew Car eee ee nee eT ae the mattress-shop, the shoemaking shop, the printing office, the tinsmith shop, in all the 40 different trades and industries, the boys are not only get ting an occupational education. but they are deriving the inspiration that comes from making something to be used. At Tuskegee it is deemed as important to turn out inspired cob blers and plumbers as inspired arehi: tects and landscape artists, All the students are required to take | Seacenuc studies, and the effort is made to correlate all the studies with the industrial training. In Bnglish, for example, the boys and girls write essays on their work in the shops. At commencement time, instead of delly. ering orations on “Over the Alps” or Standing on the Threshold of Life,” the graduating class shows how a meal should be served or how a horse should be shod. It is a practical dem: onstration of what has been learned, a clinie on industrial éducation. The students in the academic de- partment are divided into day and night classes, about one-third of the students being in the night school, which is designed for those who are unable to pay the small charges made by the day school. When a poor stu- dent arrives he works during the day and studies at night, and whatever he earns in excess of his board is placed to his credit in the bank. As soon as he hag saved enough he enters the day school. The pupils in the day school attend classroom exercises three days week, and the other three days they spend in the shops. ‘The expenses of day students above the cost of cloth- ing and what can be earned !s about $45 or $50 for the nine months’ term. Many of the pupils earn all their ex: penses. The teaching in the academic department, which is about as ad- vanced In work as the second year of a northern high school minus the lan- guages, 1s done by a faculty of 50 col- lege graduates, many of them from leading universities of the country. The male pupils form two battalions, one of four companies of 90 men each containing the night students, the oth- er of five companies of 90 men each mace up from the day students. Drills and Inspections take place every day in the week, the day students being divided into two squads, which drill on alternate days. An officers’ court pass- es judgment upon all breaches of dis- cipline not serious enough to be re- ferred to the principal. The industries are grouped into three departments, the school of agri- culture, the industries for girls and the department of mechanical indus- tries. The courses in agriculture are given in Milbank hall, a modern build- ing erected in 1909 at a cost of $26,000, Farming was the first industry started at the institute, and the school farm in thirty years has grown until it em- braces 2,300 acres. Of this eighty acres form a truck garden on which is raised produce for the school, eighty acres constitute an orchard, 840 acres form the tract for general farming, while 1,300 acres comprise an area given over to pastures and woodland. The dairy herd contains 227 head of cattle, breeders, yearlings and calves, with 105 milch cows “atthe pail.” The farm also has 562 hogs, and 145 horses, mules and colts, while the poultry yard contains 3,000 fowls. The farm work is carried on by 223 students, 40 hired men and 18 instruc- tors. Last year 632 tons of ensilage, 12,- 000 bushels of sweet potatoes, 3,500 bushels of corn and 8,650 bushels of oats were grown on the general farm, while the truck garden yielded 115,453 pounds of greens, 1,116 dozen bunches of lettuce, 465 bushels of onions, 3,576 watermelons, 358 bushels of beans, 53 bushels of beets, 783 bushels of toma- toes, 321 bushels of rutabagas, 3,150 dozen ears of green corn, 2,064 melons and cantaloupes, 57 bushels of white potatoes and 258 bushels of peas—this enumeration being given as an indi- cation of the varlety of the table at Tuskegee and the manner in which the pupils are being saturated in one of the many ideas of Tuskegee that one indication of civilization is a va- riety of food products. “One of God's objects in surround- ing us with vegetables, with grain, ber- ries and flowers,” says Booker Wash- ington, “is to help us to make our bodies better fitted for the uses of Ufe, to make our bodies stronger, to make them more healthful. When I go to church and hear people preach for hours on all kinds of subjects, es- pecially in country districts, where the soil is fitted for growing all kinds of vegetables, all kinds of fowl, how much I wish the minister would take a few hours and teach the people how to fill their bodies with some of the beautiful things with which nature has surrounded them.” THE BEST SCARECROW. As the best scarecrow is a dead crow, hung up where other crows can see It, it is well to know how to catch the crow, which is a very wary bird. One way that is often successful {s to take the chilled or stale eggs from an abandoned sitting hen’s nest and make an artificial nest out in the fleld somewhere so that the crows can see {t as they fly over. Around the nest in the grass place two or three set steel traps. The crow will allght neat the nest to investigate the eggs as tc their eating qualities and will usnal’y step into the traps, which should be concealed under some light grass or earth.
