PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADVERTISE IN THIS PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY WILSON AND THE NEGRO VOL. XVIII. WILSON THE (From New York Age July 11.) The New York Age does not see how it will be possible for a single self respecting Negro in the United States to vote for Woodrow Wilson. He was born in Virginia and lived a good part of his life in Georgia and Alabama. Both by inheritance and absorption, he has most of the prejudices of the narrowest type of Southern white people against the Negro. This is a bold assertion, but we can prove it. While Mr. Wilson was president of Princeton University he stated that it was the policy of Princeton to keep Negroes out of that institution As a result of his policy and influence, Princeton is the one large institution in a Northern State that closes its doors against Negroes. This is not all Everyone knows that without the vote of the Negro people in the State of New Jersey Mr. Wilson could have never been elected governor. In spite of the fact that his election as governor was due to the Negro vote, he has not by a turn of the finger recognized a single Negro in New Jersey since he has been Governor. He has treated the race in New Jersey as if they were foreigners and outcasts. It is reported on seemingly good authority that when a delegation of colored people called to see him soon after he was inducted into office of Governor to request him to retain a colored man who had been messenger in the Governor's office for a number of years, Mr. Wilson told the committee of colored people, that he would retain the colored man not because of their political influence but because the man was a "good darky." We do not believe that even Bishop Walters can find a single thread upon which to hang an excuse for supporting a man like Woodrow Wilson. Certainly, no Negro, let us hope, can support such a man unless that Negro has lost all sense of manhood and is out for the dollar pure and simple. Further than this, it is known that an active and strong group of colored people hung around the Democratic convention in Baltimore seeking to get the Democrats to put a line or two in their platform regarding the rights of the Negro. The convention absolutely refused to recognize this committee or to put a single word in the platform regarding our race. Under all the circumstances, it seems to us that it is perfectly clear that the Negro in the United States cannot support Woodrow Wilson without proving a traitor to himself and to his race. Even if Mr. Wilson were, as an individual, inclined to recognize the Negro, he could not do so for the reason that the people who are responsible for Mr. Wilson's nomination are against the Negro. Mr. Wilson is dependent for his nomination upon such men as Vardaman, Tillman and a host of other men of this character. Besides all this, Mr. Wilson's chief manager, Mr. McComb, is an Arkansas white man who, of course, has no use for the Negro. In spite of all these facts, we dare say that even a few weak, a few boot-licking Negroes will be going around the country at so much per month trying to inveigle the colored people into voting the Democratic ticket. PROMINENT LEADER DIES IN NASHVILLE Dr. R. F. Boyd, prominent physician and surgeon of Nashville, Tenn., and one of the leaders of the Negro race in this country died suddenly at his home Saturday morning, July 20th. The Boyd Building, the Mercy Hospital, the Peoples Savings Bank and Trust Company of which he was president stand as monuments to his energy and brain. He was one of the early graduates of Meharry Medical College, and for twenty five years had been a teacher in that institution. He was president of the Negro Board of Trade and at one time was a candidate for Mayor of Nashville on the Republican ticket. Dr. Boyd, was probably more largely interested in fraternal work than any other member of the race. He had accumulated considerable of this world's goods. In his will leaves $7,000 to Meharry Medical College. He was devoted to his mother who still survives him, and he was also noted for his generosity. Born in slavery, reared in poverty, he attained heights and was the possessor of high regards from his fellow men. Old Italian industry. Salt has been manufactured commercially in Italy for more than two thousand five hundred years. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JULY 27 1912. State Hist & Nat Hist Societies State House HANTS WI ADC JOURNAL DENVER, COLORAD A GEORGIA OUTRAGE How can the South atone for the outrage committed in Dublin, Georgia, when a defenseless young woman after having been dragged from her bed by a mob of "reputable" citizens, was brutally whipped by one of the number, because his son had become infatuated with her? This crime was not the act of ignorant men, lacking knowledge of elementary moral principles or of the laws against offenses of that kind. The leader and chief offender was clerk of one of the courts, and it is said that some of his accomplices were prominent and well-to-do citizens of the community. The offenders represent in their business relations and the ordinary affairs of life the substantial middle-class population of the South. It is for this reason that the reproach of their cowardly crime rests upon the whole of that section. Their is something about crimes of this character and the localities of their occurrence which suggests a prevalent lack of self-restraint and a disposition to regulate the lives of one's fellow citizens by employing methods outside the law. The white cap outrages so frequent for many years, and up to a recent time in the southern part of Indiana, were of that kind. Across the Ohio, in Kentucky, the nation was disgraced only two or three years ago by the atrocities committee by "night riders." From Tennessee to Georgia is the next step southward, and there, as in many other Southern states, one encounters the record of almost innumerable exhibitions of mob violence. Most of them, it is true, have been committed against Negroes, but white victims have from time to time been made to suffer. A little consideration of public sentiment may be suggested by asking what would be the fate of the men who committed the Dublin outrage, if they were Negroes? By this time the whole state would be aroused and all the men captured would be lynched. But is there the slightest assurance that these chivalrous white men will be punished? They have influence and prestige. Possibly some of them will be arrested, but that they will be punished as they deserve to be punished is in the highest degree improbable. Crimes of this kind deserve the severest punishment the law can inflict. But being an outgrowth of a crude public sentiment, they will probably never be wholly suppressed until local public thought undergoes a radical change. Unfortunately a sentiment which condones such outrages is slow in changing its character. Men persuade themselves that they are doing right when, banded together, they undertake to discipline their neighbors. It was with that spirit that the Indiana "whitecappers" operated; and with a like notion the night riders in Kentucky com --- mitted the numerous outrages upon private citizens which scandalized the nation. In the case which occurred in Dublin, Georgia, the leader of the mob probably felt that in what he did, he was justified by the fact that the supposed welfare of a member of his family was involved. His son had fallen in love with the young woman. But that is a barbarous notion, anything but in keeping with the chivalry to women of which the South is so proud.—Denver Republican. SCARCE If Jim Flynn is the best of the group of "White Hopes" Jack Johnson may as well retire, because there are so few heavy weights that are capable of giving the public a run for its money. A few years ago Jeffries, Corbett, Kauffman, Sharkey and O'Brien all drew the color line and told Jack Johnson to go get a reputation. He and Tommy Burns did the Marathon around the world finishing in Australia, where Johnson caught Burns and gave him a good trouncing. Burn's was the World's heavyweight champion, and by defeating him became the King of the ring, thus arousing the spirit of American prejudice, and the once great James J. Jefferies was called upon to regain the title for the white race. Johnson put the "Steam Roller" on Jeff as the G. O.P. bosses did Teddy at Chicago. Since the defeat of Jeffries we have not heard of the color line in the prize ring. "Tad" truly said many years ago, that it was not Johnson's color that the white fighters were afraid of, but his ability. Johnson has been accused of a frame-up, or salling out in every fight that he has recently participated in. Strange to say though, the white man, always loses. Yet it is alleged that Jack has been paid to lay down. Two years ago when Johnson was about to fight Jeffries, there was a general protest by the pulpit and press. Seemingly they did not want Johnson to meet Jeffries because Jeff was the only undefeated heavyweight, and by winning it, would have, and did give Johnson a clear and undisputed title to the championship of the world. It is a hard pill for some of these weak knee sore headed white sports to swallow, but what can they do? There is no one in sight to beat Johnson and besides, we have several other dangerous blacks who can beat any of the present white hopes. We would suggest to these "colorphobia" fight fans that they reserve all their "white hope" until Johnson, Jeanette, McVey and Langford are too old to fight.—Philadelphia Tribune. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES There are a conceited set of people in every country that live under the impression that they are the guardian of the rights of the people, and whenever they want some honor or a good paying job at the expense of these same people they set up some new scheme to ride in office they forget the people and can remember only self until the time for the next election to roll around. All such are hypocrites.—Topeka Plaindealer. Chicago, July 23.—Jack Johnson, heavyweight champion of the world, is about to become a baseball player. Johnson last night made application for the first base position on the American Giants, "Rube" Foster's colored semi-professional team, and will be given a chance for the place. Manager Foster asked Johnson to report for morning practice for a couple of weeks for the purpose of developing his battling powers. Johnson says he played a fair game of baseball several years ago and he has no doubt that he can "come back." Dr. W. T. Vernon, formerly register of the United States treasury, was recently elected president of Cambell college, Jackson, Miss. Dr. Vernon was for sixteen years at the head of the Western University at Quindaro and is considered one of the foremost Negro educators in the United States Bishop J. M. Connor of Mississippi, is endeavoring to build up the school at Jackson, which now has an enrollment of five hundred. There are forty thousand African Methodists in the state. Since Mr. Vernon left the treasury he has been supervisor of Government schools for the Department of the Interior. Brockton, Mass., July 16.—From a Pullman porter to one of the biggest property owners in the city in five years is the jump which Watt Terry, a Negro has made. When papers passed last week conveying to Terry the famous Checkerton and Chesston apartments, valued at $150,000, he became the owner of $500,000 worth of the choicest property in the city. Terry has had a meteoric career, and where he once made $7 a week he is now making hundreds. Coming here from his home in Virginia when a young man, he took a position as coachman for a well known physician. Then he went to the Y. M. C. A. as assistant janitor and became in- NO 46 terested in the evening school. He enrolled and studied diligently for a long time. Finally he went away and was a Pullman porter for awhile; then he returned to Brockton and went to work in a shoe factory, starting at 87 a week. He is superintendent of the Messiah Baptist Sunday School and is active in church work. Washington, July 13.—Senator Hoke Smith, of Georgia, opened warfare upon the employment of colored policemen by the District government. His anger was aroused over the arrest by an officer at the Capitol of a constituent of the Georgia senator, young Grover Kelly, of Macon. The young Georgian, when he noticed the black policemen, gave vent to some caustic remark to the effect that Negro policemen would not be tolerated in the South. The Negro became infuriated, arrested the Georgian, and is said to have hit him with his mace. The boy was released on cash bond. Senator Smith and Representatives Hughes and Bartlet of Georgia appeared as council for him at Police Court the next morning, only to find the case had been docked and collateral bond returned. The Senator then announced that he was opposed to the continuance of Negro policemen in the District. "Fill their places with good white men," he said. New York, July 23.—Jack Johnson is taking a mean revenge of those glorious states. For the meager sum of $50,000 the chocolate heavyweigh champion is going to far away Australia to do battle with two of his countrymen. Sam Langford and Sam McVey are the magnets that are attracting Johnson from his native heath. Johnson yesterday closed negotiations with a representative of Hugh D. McIntosh, who promoted the battle that landed Johnson his diadem. The articles call for ring contests with Langford and McVey. For the tussle with chunky Sam, Johnson is to receive such a bagatelle as $30,000. For the bout with McVey, Johnson is to receive $20,000 as compensation. The battles are to be for twenty rounds duration or to a finish, as McIntosh sees fit. It is understood that the Antipodean promoter is dickering with the authorities to permit finish fights. McIntosh's arena can comfortably hold 30,000 persons. This leaves Joe Jeannette out in the cold so far as a battle for the title is concerned. Joe threatens to camp on Johnson'a trail to Australia.

The legislation approved by the House committee would make residence and cultivation on an original homestead entry, and permit proof to be made on both entries at the same time. The Mondell bill corrects what is known as the decision in the John Day case, where the General Land Office held that proof on an additional entry could not be made until the expiration of the five-year period from date of the additional entry. Regulations governing entries under the Borah three-year homestead law have been issued by Secretary Fisher. Credit for the three-year period must begin from actual residence. Proof must be submitted within five years. Cultivation for three years from date of entry is required, including actual cultivation of not less than one-sixteenth of the land beginning with the second year and not less than one-eighth beginning with the third year and until final proof.

Robert Kinsella, employed by a corset company at 120 East Sixteenth street, New York, was drowned on top of a twelve-story building at that address when he went to the roof to release a foot and a half of water which had collected there when the drain pipe became clogged up. He ran his right arm down into the drain pipe after he had cleared away the rubbish at the mouth of the hole. When the suction of the rushing water caught him he was drawn into the pipe up to the shoulder. Despite the efforts of three companions to pull him out the suction held him firm and his head was drawn into the water, which still remained on the roof. In plain sight, looking up at them through the few inches of water that covered his face, he was drowned. Leading jewelers of New York approximate the value of gems owned by members of prominent families in New York at $250,000,000. Cardinal Gibbons was seventy-eight years old July 23.

The tract consists of 10,000 acres of high grade coal on Sage and Trout creeks in what is commonly known as the Twenty-Mile district. Duel With Knife and Pistol. Fort Collins.—In a bloody duel in the "Jungles" here, with a revolver and a ten-inch dirk, Juan Romero was shot through the abdomen and Mauro Montero was perhaps fatally stabbed.

There abides no fear to the existence of centralized powers when a liberal system of wholesome education is diffused; for then, individuals collectively are able to safeguard their personal rights and privileges, forestalling the danger of encroachment. In a republican form of government where the creation of laws rests upon numbers, there are ever grave inclinations to the abuse of authority, which often destroys confidence in the ability and honesty of the rulers. The integrity of a people is pjudged by the integrity of those they elevate; and if their deeds are not in keeping with their declarations there is somewhere an error in the system. Theory antecedence practice in whatever sphere we engage; but it does not determine a successful end. Issues inaugurated for the promotion of a common cause must be based upon the eternal principles of right; else the good effect which we hope to obtain from the pursuit of a chosen career will fail to materialize; and our labors will be vain. A well-balanced nation is not excitable and whenever danger to its institutions arises, it calmly meets the situation. Educated masses are noble assets to the permanency of all establishments if their sentiments are properly molded. It is through this medium that national regards are enforced. Human nature is not prone to withdraw from attempts upon things it covets unless outside pressure is brought strenuously to bear upon it. Rights and immunities are prime considerations in the welfare of a people; but there are those contending for recognition who aspire no higher than loaves and fishes. True statesmanship is unselfish, and labors for the betterment of human conditions, regardless of remuneration. But, unfortunately, that element does not exist in abundance. It crops out only at intervals and in isolated places. The greed of official gain has so sapped the vitals of our political body that things of the highest importance are subordinated thereto, and allowed to abide in the background from lack of advocates. The palmy days of Negro leadership, the days of the Douglasses, Elliott, Langstons and other illustrious personages whose mention time and space forbid, are past and gone; and a generation of another type has stepped upon the stage. Less brilliant intellectually, less stable politically and do not wield with the masses that influence which characterized the epoch in which these giants wrought. Troublous times are necessary to the production of genuine leadership. They prove the materials they produce. In our happy days of pleasure in which the possession of marvelous wealth lulls the rich to a life of ease, the poor is at the mercy of every agency which controls the destiny of the country and can find small redress for the grievances which oppress. To lighten the burdens which weigh so heavily upon the shoulders of those who create wealth, whose toils are the strength of the nation should be the endeavor of those who accede to maintain their interests. But, by permitting themselves to become slaves to the glare of filthy lucre they lose sight of the greatest benefits to the greatest number and allow thousands to perish while a comparative few survive.—Ethiopian Phalanx. The desire to own something is one of the most valuable assets a person can have with which to begin as well as to end life. The man who desires to own something will usually have his desire gratified, as such a man is never satisfied until it is gratified. In the beginning he may not have anything to offer in exchange for that he desires to own but his labor of the hands and brains, but that is the capital every man inherits in large or small measure, be he prince or pauper. Given a willingness to work and reasonable skill in doing even the ordinary things thoroughly, any young man can make his way in the world; can make a good day's wage as he goes along, which with proper self-denial in his living expenses will not him in a few years enough capital in cash and in reputation with his neighbors to begin business and succeed in it, so that he may own the things the possession of which will give him the greatest satisfaction. The sentiment is becoming general among negroes in all parts of the country that a man must not only know a great deal but he must own something to prove that he knows something. The spendthrift, dressed up to date, who has nothing behind him to sustain his expensive living, does not find the favor now that he did ten and twenty years ago among the people whose good opinion he desires, whose social and business influence he would enjoy. He must have some reputation for steadiness in work and for saving something of what he earns in order to stand well in his own estimation and that of his neighbors. That the desire for the in- dependent ownership of one's time and occupation is growing our exchanges show from week to week by the progressive business development in their communities. For instance, the Oakland (Cal). Sunshine says: "The slogan of the members of the Negro Business League at their banquet last week at the Southern Kitchen was practice what you preach and patronize your race enterprises and your professional men as far as possible and produce something by land, own an enterprise, if nothing more than a chicken ranch. Don't depend on the other race for a job. Make your own job by being a producer instead of a steady consumer. Buy land; buy a farm." Talking about the movement, in Japan, to fetch about religious unity, between Shintoism, Buddhism and Christianity, fostered by the Japanese government, The Outlook says: "The example thus set might well be followed by the Jews, Protestants and Roman Catholics in this country," while adhering loyally "to their separate creeds and churches, in a common effort for the betterment of the nation," and would "furnish much more hope of practical and immediate results than an endeavor to invent some common creed or create a ritual on which all can unite." As their work is separate and distinct in effort, although common in faith and purpose from that of the Anglo-American churches, The Age believes that the Afro-American church denominations of the Western Hemisphere could do better work for the negro and the nation if they had a working understanding. A national congress represented by all of our denominations would accomplish this and attract the attention of the world to the magnitude of the moral and intellectual power of the work. Up in Pittsburg, Pa., a diamond edition of a man—weighs 120 pounds—has been divorced from his wife—a quarto edition of a woman weighing 300 pounds—because he insisted on using her as a sort of furnace. He returned home cold one night and as there was no fire he pulled off his footgear and clapped his feet to his wife's back and kept them there till they got warm. Just how he did this is not mentioned, but we suppose he stood up on her. Any way, she sued for and got a divorce. She claimed that for ten years he had abused her in various ways, such as "dragging her down stairs," had "beaten her up," "spit tobacco juice on the table and her feet," "pushed a revolver under her nose and yelled, "smell that!" But this thing of warming his feet at her back was the straw—or feet—that broke the camel's—his wife's—back! The little fellow had nerve all right, but where in the dickens did he get his strength from? A certain boat coming up the Mississippi one day during the flood lost her way and bumped up against a frame house. She hadn't more than touched it before an old darky rammed his head up through a hole in the roof, where the chimney once came out, and yelled at the captain on the roof: "Whar's yer gwine wid dat boat? Can't you see nothin'? Fust thing yer knows yer gwine to turn dis house ober, spill de old woman an' de chil'en out in de flood, an' drown 'em. What yer doin' out here in de country wid yer boat, anyhow? Go on back yander frode de co' fields an' get back into de ribber wha yer b'longs. Ain't got no business sev'n miles out in the country foolin' roun' people's houses nohow?" And she backed out.—Exchange. Notwithstanding we are living in the twentieth century and stand on the threshold of the brightest and grandest civilization that the world has ever known, there is a crying and a pressing need of a better educated ministry. There is much need for improvement along this line. We do not refer to this matter as a matter of criticism, but as a matter of sympathy and pressing necessity. It is too late in these bright days of civilization to have so much ignorance in the pulpit. There are plenty of high schools in this country to train young men for the ministry that they may intelligently and yet forcibly stand on their feet and preach the gospel of truth—The Baptist Reporter. Never in the history of New York city has its colored churches been represented by so clean and capable a colored clergy as today. The licentious, whangdoodle preacher in almost every instance has been supplanted by a Christian, devoted, educated gentleman, not only a leader and an asset to his church, but a credit to his race. The disgraceful church scrapes and court cases between warring factions, charges of immorality and unseemly conduct so noticeable a few years back have become conspicuous by their utter absence today.—Amsterdam News. Napoleon would not believe that his escape from Elba would bear him to St. Helena. A FLY CATECHISM The following questions and answers were prepared by the Indiana state board of health and have been widely copied. The school board of Asheville, N. C., caused them to be pasted in the spelling books used in the graded schools of the city: Where is the fly born? In manure and filth. Where does the fly live? In every kind of flith. Is anything too filthy for the fly to eat? No. Where does he go when he leaves the surface closet and the manure pile and the spittoon? Into the kitchen and dining room. What does he do there? He walks on the bread, fruit and vegetables. He wipes his feet on the butter and bathes in the milk. Does the fly visit the patient sick with typhoid fever, consumption and cholera infantum? He does, and he may call on you next. Is the fly dangerous? He is man's worst pest and more dangerous than wild beasts or rattlesnakes. What disease does the fly carry? He carries typhoid fever, consumption and summer complaint. How? On his wings and hairy feet. What is his correct name? Typhoid fly. Did he ever kill any one? He killed more American soldiers during the Spanish-American war than did the bullets of the Spaniards. Where are the greatest number of cases of typhoid fever, consumption and summer complaint? Where there are the most files. Where are the most files? Where there is the most flth. Why should we kill the fly? Because he may kill us. When shall we kill the fly? Kill him before he gets wings. Kill him when he is a maggot in the manure pile. Kill him while he is in the egg state. How? Keep the stables dry and clean and don't allow any manure to stay on the premises longer than one week. Have all other flth and trash accumulating on your premises removed or burned at least once a week. If your neighbor falls to comply with these rules and allows files to breed on his premises to visit you, screen your doors and windows and keep them out. TO GET RID OF DANDELIONS. Dandelions have become such a pest and their extermination seems a hopeless task. Digging usually does little good, as the roots go so deep they are hard to get, and simply taking off their heads doesn't kill the plant. In the past year or so spraying has been resorted to with more or less success, and a spraying solution which has proven quite good is one made with sulphate of iron (copperas). Make the solution in the proportion of $1\%$ pounds of copperas to a gallon of water. Spray the lawn or infested area every ten days with this solution. Use a spray that has a strong pressure and use it when the day is bright and warm. If the first few applications don't give any results, make the solution somewhat stronger. The grass may become somewhat blackened, but it will do no permanent damage. However, care should be taken to keep the spray off of cement walks, as it will discolor them. As the copperas is not expensive, costing only 2 or 3 cents a pound, this method is not only inexpensive, but much easier than the old way of crawling around on your knees and digging until both arms and back are worn out. GROWING LEGUMES One important fact in relation to growing legumes should be remembered. While these plants can use free nitrogen under certain conditions and store it on their roots, they must nevertheless have other plant food constituents, such as lime, phosphoric acid and potash. Legumes require a liberal amount of these constituents for various growths so that they may fulfill the requirements of storing nitrogen for future use. Where the soil is deficient in phosphate, lime and potassium, these constituents should be added in commercial forms. Especially is this desirable with some of the more exacting legumes, such as alfalfa, clovers and vetch. But the nitrogen in the soil is easily leached out, plants use it freely, and it is apt to be the first that is lacking. Thin soils are apt to have enough of the other elements to grow such legumes as peanuts, cow peas, soy beans. Hence the supply of nitrogen and organic matter may be supplied cheaply and quickly by growing these valuable crops. MORE COWS NEEDED. During the last thirty-five years the population of the United States has doubled, and it is estimated that the number of dairy cows has also doubled—increasing from less than 11,000,000 to more than 22,000,000. In the face of this increase cows have increased in value per head about $6.62. It is also estimated by statisticians that the population will again double in the next thirty-two years, and if people are to have the same amount of butter and milk the number of dairy cows must be again doubled. This means that the central west will gradually increase in dairying, and if it continues to supply its percentage of meat products we must grow more stock to the acre. Whether we come to smaller farms or not, one thing is sure, we must grow more to the acre. MAJOR WRIGHT'S EFFECTIVE PLEA Bill Appropriating Funds For Exposition May Pass. LEADERS FAVOR MOVEMENT—NOTED EDUCATOR AND ORGANIZER OF MANY SUCCESSFUL MOVEMENTS FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF THE RACE MAKES CONVINCING ARGUMENT BEFORE HOUSE COMMITTEE—HIS ACHIEVEMENTS. Washington.—Maj. R. R. Wright, president of the Georgia State Industrial college and the president of the American emancipation exposition, scored another victory for the race in his recent address before the house appropriation committee of congress. He made a strong and convincing argument in behalf of the $250,000 appropriation for the negro semi-centennial exposition. The special committee co-operating with Major Wright consisted of the following persons: Messrs. J. J. Fitzgerald, chairman; Charles L. Bartlett, Thomas U. Sisson, Joseph G. Cannon, Frederick H. Gillett. Major Wright seems to have again made a very favorable impression upon the house committee. The report of his hearing before the committee contains 16 pages. The committee decided to report the bill favorably to congress. The general belief is that it will pass without, much difficulty. Bishop Alexander Walters, who is interested in the bill, wrote Major Wright that he had seen Speaker Champ Clark, House Leader Underwood and Chairman Fitzgerald and that all had agreed to the passage of the bill. It has the indorsement of some of the leading white philanthropists, such as R. C. Ogden, George Foster Peabody, William J. Schleffelin and others. It also has the indorsement of the leading periodicals. Dr. Lyman Abbott and William Hayes Ward have also indorsed the movement. It is gratifying to know that a number of the governors of southern states, such as of Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, West Virginia and Kentucky, have indorsed the idea of holding such an exposition. Major Wright and his friends began the matter in its second stage last April and have been successful in getting it through the senate and halfway through the house, where it now occupies a favorable position. One of the members of the committee on appropriations asked Professor Wright to tell something about himself. This is quite satisfactorily answered in that famous publication known as "Who Is Who in America." This notable biographical dictionary contains the names of a very large number of America's notable men. It speaks of Major Wright as follows; "Richard Robert Wright, college president. Born in Dalton, Ga., May 16, 1855, son of Robert Wadell and Harriet (Lynch) Wright; A. B. 1876. A. M. 1879, Atlanta university; LL. D. Wilberforce university, Ohio, 1899; married L. Elizabeth Howard of Columbus, Ga., June 7, 1877; began teaching Augusta, Ga., 1880; president Georgia State Industrial college (colored), Savannah, 1891; organizer and president Georgia State Cobored Agricultural and Industrial association 1907; president Georgia State Agricultural and Industrial fair 1908. "Major Wright served as additional paymaster, with rank of major, volunteers, August 3 to December 1, 1898; trustee Atlanta university, delegate to four Republican conventions, declined appointment E. E. and M. P. to Liberia, tendered by President McKinley; Congregationalist, Mason, member American Historical association, National Educational association, etc.; author historical and other papers and articles in periodical press; address Savannah, Ga." COLORED WOMAN, ONCE A SLAVE, LEAVES $6,000 ST. MONICA'S HOME, OLD COLORED WOMEN'S HOME, ST. AUGUSTINE CHURCH, BOSTON, AND WOODLAWN CEMETERY, BOSTON, GET BEQUESTS. Middletown, Conn.—By the will of Catherine Simons, a colored woman who spent most of her life as a cook, several Boston institutions are to receive bequests from her estate of $6,000. The will leaves $500 to St. Monica's Home for Slick Colored Women and Children of Boston; $500 to the Church of the Holy Trinity, the largest Episcopal church in this city. There are small bequests—$500 to the Home for Aged Colored Women in Boston, $500 to St. Augustine's church, Boston, $500 to Woodlawn cemetery in Everett, Mass., and to relatives. The residue is left in trust with ex-Governor Frank B. Weeks of this city, the income to be devoted to charitable purposes at his discretion. Miss Simons in her early days was a slave. She worked as a domestic for many years in the homes of Middletown families. In Boston she was cared for during her last days by friends. She did much for the poor of her race. Distant relatives are making a contest-on the ground that she was of unsound mind. 10th Avenue Hotel MEALS AT ALL HOURS Pool Room in Connection ASK FOR CAR Peerless DID YOU Neef B It's made r None better This is a Str BE Supply Your H The Emp BUY YOUR BO West 10th and Osage, Near Burn Denver, Colorado FOR ARLSON Heirless Ice Cr Phones: Main 112 and D YOU EVER T ef Bros.'

Tne Cotorapo STarEsMAN has repeatedly urged that the Republi- can leaders of Denyer and of Colorado recognize some representa- tive colored person or some reputable organization among us, through whom or which the most important efforts and most resonable desires of the colored ¥oters might be intelligently communicated and under- stood, to the end that a more thorough and more satisfactory political alliance might be maintained, We have repeatedly expressed the opinion that the old-time custom of relying upon the colored man’s blind loyalty to the party and of placating him with campaign prom- ises and the few sporadic crumbs of offiee which exceptional individual officials might see fit to drop, was not in keeping with the times and the increasing importance of the colored yote. é If our advice has been in any manner responsible for the condi- tion of affairs whieh exist in the county and state in which a few un- authorized individuals have apparently assumed or been endowed with the dictatorship over the political fortunes of the colored people of the state, we want to.express openly to politicians our dissatisfaction with any such presumptuous arrangement and to repudiate the inference that the colored people accept the situation as an improvement upon former conditions. ‘The insinuating process by which some individuals wormed them- selves into the confidence of politieal leaders, the success of which has so inflated absolute control of the political affairs of the colored peo- ple, is not the process which any intelligent class of yoters will sane- tion or long endure. It is a concession, we admit, when politicians put into any colored men’s hands the partial direction of the people’s political affairs, but we want such individuals to represent something more than the pliant, truckling servants of political bosses. These men have never stood up for the things that the colored people demand or the opinion which they hold. ‘They have always sacrificed the bet- ter interests of their race to stand in with the official leaders with whom, as a servant, they haye been thrown in contact, Instead of aim- ing to unite the colored people into a self-asserting foree, they have lost no opportunity to oppose those who have honorably striven to give the people this rightful power. Selfishness, and selfishness alone, have characterized their false representation of the colored people’s in- dereats, THE PEOPLE’S DUTY TO THE NEWSPAPER. ‘Tre svnscriners and readers of The Colorado Statesman have a reciprocal duty to the paper that comes into their hands fifty-two times a year—we never miss an issue. The first duty is to see that the management get their money. Newspapers, like churches, societies and other businesses, cannot run without money, therefore prompt pay is essential. Second—If The Colorado Statesman is a good paper—we try to make it the best—then you ought to try to increase its cireulation and subseription, just as you try to get new members into your church and lodge, It means a stronger church cr better Jodge, just as increased eir- culation makes a better newspaper. ‘Third—The mission of this paper is the collection, condensation— for that is necessary in these busy days—and disseninating of news of a healthy, interesting and beneficial nature to the race, This paper has demonstrated this beyond any question during the past eighteen years. But it is impossible to get all of the happenings of importance in a city like Denver unless notice of these events are mailed to our office. Very often meetings of an interesting nature are held, entertainments given, socials, parties and banquets carried out, sports, games and re- unions conducted, concerts, lectures and installations indulged in, busi- ness transactions, sales and changes pulled off successfully, and peo- ple wonder why it is not referred to in our paper. Simply because the management is not aware of. the happening, or press tickets or newspaper courtesy mailed or presented to us so that we might send our reporter to get the facts. There are ethies in newspaper work, the same as in other service, and promoters of entertainments ought to make provision for the press the same as they do for other kinds of publicity. The people of Denver want the news. The Colerado Statesman is prepared to give it. This is our business and it is the indispensable duty of every one to assist in getting it to us so that the public may have it promptly. ‘The Colorado Statesman does not charge for space and will not charge except for that of an advertising nature. We will publish all matter mailed to us, reserving, of course, the right to edit the same. Let the public take notice of this and do your duty. MAKE START By JOHN M. OSKISON OR the average man, as the Business Almanac points out, all investment starts with the savings bank. A few men make money suddenly or inherit a considerable amount and become sudden investors. The rule is that a man must be a saver of money for a considerable time before he becomes a buyer of securities. So the first and most vital question is, “What shall I do with my small savings?” ‘There are more than forty forms of co-operative, mutual benefit, say- ings and other similar associations in the United States. They are organ- ized to take care of savings in any amount from the smallest to the great- est sums. Many of them are excellently managed, honest in intent and are worthy of encouragement. Some are properly looked upon with sus- picion. Most generally used, of course, are the savings banks. They have been tried by fire. Speaking generally, they are the most seoure financial institutions we have. Our states have wisely regulated their operations— most of them have. Massachusetts, Connecticut and New York have done best. Ohio has a good law. Less protection for the savings bank depos- itor is offered in the south and west than is judged wise to furnish in the east. Here are some of the prohibitions the New York law puts upon its savings institutions: ‘They cannot loan money on notes, drafts, bills of exchange or any pergonal securities whatever. They cannot buy stocks, They cannot buy bonds or other forms of security issued by any industrial, manufacturing or street railway company. They cannot buy or loan money on farm lands nor on mortgages outside of New York state. They cannot buy bonds which are not, at least in part, first mortgages ‘on the property bonded. They cannot buy real estate bonds or mortgages until after a commit- tee of the bank’s trustees makes a thorough examination of the property on which the bonds or mortgages are to be placed. All of these restrictions are salutary. ‘They indicate some of the safeguards a prudent man ought to throw around his sayings and also the tests he ought to make of his investment selections. they devour it in astonishing quaatities, and hunters have long taken ad- vantage of the fact that wild animals will return to the salt lick. But when there is no such spot known to them they’ live their whole lives without it. . Of the use of salt for seasoning and preserving their food the North American Indians knew absolutely nothing, yet all authorities agree they were a particularly healthy people, until they were afflicted by the white man’s vices and the white man’s diseases, It is true there are some accounts to the effect that their medicine men had noted the action of animals above referred to and administered salt to their patients, and they may thus have benefited individual cases, But as a race they were a meat-eating people, without salt, and yet 4 tealthy people. z t Furthermore, white men who went among them and lived as they lived scarcely missed the salt after they became used to its absence. their bodies. .I know positively that many girls are nervous wrecks after doing this kind of work for some time. They have Sunday evenings and Thursday afternoon to themselves, but most of them are too tired to enjoy their few hours. In no other country are the girls forced to work so fast or to do so much in so short a time as here. Stop this cruelty and the girls will not go to the factories or be will- jng to marry lazy men, drunkards and gamblers. Possible for Man to Live Without Salt Stop Cruelty to Poor Working Girls | Teachers | Must Be - Taught - Their Business Director of Sevosias Leipzig; Germany Prudent Man Begins With Savings Bank Upon the authority of a Chicago phy- sician it was recently asserted that to de- prive the human race of salt for even a few months would have a disastrous effect upon the health of the people. This, I believe, has always been the teaching of our text- books, and I am not prepared to dispute its truth, in so far as civilized man is con- cerned. ~ ‘There are, however, upon this earth many animals, wild or domestic, which get little or no salt and yet are healthy. ‘True, they have a craving for it, as is shown by His Pach that whene pivenethe oodoninity The other day it was suggested again that instead of-going into factories women and girls should turn more generally to housework. ‘The suggestion is all right, but there is a big field for improvement in the life of the average woman who docs house- work for others, and the leading American women could do lots of good for their sex by introducing a better plan for the poor .gitls who do the housework. : ‘At the present time and for as long as T can recollect girls have had to work from 6:00 a. m. to 8:00 or 9:00 p. m., without time’to eat properly or to take care of ly that many girls are nervous wrecks after me time. ngs and ‘Thursday afternoon to themselves, | to enjoy their few hours. the girls forced to work so fast or to do so re. girls will not go to the factories or be will- ards and gamblers, Pedagogy is the most neglected of all sciences. Before there are good pupils there must be good teachers, If a school system turns out inefficient, stupid gradu- ates and that same system is responsible for the turning out of the teachers—how can the latter be anything except stupid and inefficient? The pedagogues teach the pupils—but who teaches the pedagogues? It is all a vicious circle, The teaching faculty is a distinct fac- uty, A man may know all there is to know about chemistry, say, and yet not he able to impart a definite knowledge of the ristry to a class.

Warren was at all times a friend to the Negroes of the Southland and was one of the most ardent advocates and sup- porters of Negro education con- neeted with the great M. B. church. He will be greatly missed by them and his death will be a shock to the Negro population throughout the South. I reeall how often, during the later eighties and early nine- ties, when I was a student at Phil- ander Smith college, Little Rock, Arkansas, the good bishop, then in his prime, used to drop in to give us some cheering words of encour- agemet and advice, and to offer some solution for the problems, financial and otherwise, that em- barrassed the then struggling insti- tution. Many a Negro, who has at- tained some considerable place and standing in the world, owes much to Bishop Warren for his untiring devotion to the cause of Negro edu- cation, and especially for his la- hors in the upbuilding of the free- men schools, under the auspices of the M. E. chureh, now flourishing and doing inestimable good in every state in the South, People who know nothing of the depth of Negro souls, know nothing of the appreciation in which they hold their friends and benefactors. Bishop Warren proved himself to be the Negroes’ friend. JAMES J. MANUEL. BATES! TWENTIETH CENTURY WONDER TEA AND POW- DERS. For Sale at Scholtz Drug Stores, Tot: man’s and Elite Drug Stores. TESTIMONIALS: Denver, Colo. 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 rheu- matism. In July, 1909, I noticed that I had inflammatory rheumatism. In health I had weighed 152 pounds, 1 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 trou- ble remains. I have taken six bottles of the Twentieth Century Wonder Pow- der. If you want to refer anyone to me I will gladly express the merits of this medicine. Yours truly, A. J. LYLE, Tee eee OD RS TA ee To Whom It May Concern:' I have suffered with my lungs for a long time, after trying different remedies, from which Thad 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 ambi- tion. How gladly can I sing the praises of Bates’ Twentieth Century Tea, GUS TRAVERS, 626 E.

A visit to their back yard was indeed a revelation—an excellent garden, beautiful flowers and chickens, both big and little too numerous to count. Prof. J. W. E. Bowen of Atlanta, Ga. delivered his famous lecture: "To Be or Not to Be, That it the Question," at Shorter's A. M.

This is his first trip in his official capacity west of the Missouri river and it goes without saying that he has enjoyed the trip hugely. The following Masons: Wm. Sprague, F. T. Bruce, J. R.

Negro Year Book and Annual Encyclopedia The Negro Year Book, which has just been published under the auspices of Tuskegee Institute, is the result of a systematic attempt to supply the growing demand from all parts of the United States and many portions of the Old World for accurate and concise information in regard to the history, progress and present status of the Negro Race. It is based to a large extent on the inquiries that have come to the Institute and have been turned over for reply to the Department of Research of which Monroe N. Work, the author of this work, is the head. Among the subjects treated in the work are: "A Review of the Negro in 1911." "The Economic Progress of the Negro." "The Negro in the Religious Field." "Negro Education." "Negro Soldiers and Heroes." "A Chronological History of the Negro in America." It contains directories of Negro Banks, Negro Towns, Business Leagues, Hospitals, Newspapers, and National and Fraternal Organizations. There are also carefully classified lists of books and articles relating to the Negro. The Year Book which is bound in paper has 229 pages. The information is arranged in a concise, systematic form so as to make it easy of reference. The book is not published as a business venture although it may be so later, provided it finds a sufficient number of readers. In order to determine whether there is sufficient demand for the Year Book to warrant its continued publication in succeeding years a price of 25 cents has been placed upon it, postage, 5 cents. Any one desiring a copy of this book, send your name and address to The Colorado Statesman, P. O. Box 116 or call at the office, 1824 Curtis Street, Room 25.

Colo.atre TER, NEGRO WOMEN OF ATLANTA ORGANIZE FOR THE UPLIFT AND PROTECTION OF THE RACE, roe eS ae Cn EOL Se be done, and that quickly, have united with the Prison Mission Settlement Workers for the uplift and protection of their young people from crimes that lead to prison; also to devise ways to help the police to protect their women and girls who are In domestic service from the murder fiends. The kind words, encouragement and genuine in- | terest In this movement by the white People In this movement by the white people of Atlanta has given renewed strength to the workers. The negro women of our city have faith. They believe that all the wom- en acting as one will influence their young people to be good and true, and also put to flight for all time the slayers of their women. Cocaine 1s another flend more dangerous, but not so quick, as It is sald to require about five years for its victims to overtake death. One authority says: “This new vice, the cocaine vice, the most serious that has to be dealt with, has proved to be a creator of criminals and unusual forms of violence.” Yet neither our natlonal nor state gov- ernment restricts the importation of this soul-destroying drug. ‘Through Rey. H. H. Proctor, pastor of the First Congregational church, he negro women of this city have in that church a place to meet at all umes to discuss and plan ways to Detter thelr condition. As a result of these meetings during the fall of 1911 we are doing foundation work, which is the keynote to all our en- deavors. We have a class in domestic sclence under an experienced instruc- tor. All women and girls who are inable to pay for lessons will be taught free, provided they are fitting themselves to make a Hying. Any one that knows anything about domestic selence can understand how valuable this training makes a person, not only in the kitchen, but in the sick room and among the children. A woman thoroughly trained in do- mestic science is a treasure in her own home or in the home of others. Children's classes in sewing, mending and darning are conducted every afternoon from 3 to 4 o'clock. These classes are taught by the women of the city who desire to give an hour of service once a week to God and hu- manity, These little people are taught to mend and darn their own clothing. This work Is not a task, but very much like a kindergarten of older ebi'dren. In this way all mending and darning {s taken from the mother’s hands, which {s quite an item in a home where there are children, and the mother works for others every day In the week. Classes of small boys are taught street etiquette, electric car deportment and good be- havior in general. ‘The parents of all these children work for white families in this city. ‘The only way to know a people is to go among them, not once, but often. Many of our good women live In al- leys and other sections of the city not so good. Some of these women are Deautiful laundresses, others are cooks and housemaids. These women are rearing their children as well 28 they can, Their children attend our public schools, also Sabbath school. ‘As these women work for the white families of Atlanta, they must live near the heart of the city and the alley is the only place for these wom- en to live, who would live in a more respectable locality 1f they could. Here one will find true philanthropy. ‘They will divide the last bite of bread and give their clothing to those among them in need. All thoughtful negroes and those who keep up with current events ap- preciate the south’s burden. The great work she {s doing and is still plan- ning and organizing to better condi- tions among white people. Payne In- stitute, at Augusta, for the education of preachers and teachers for the ne- ro; the splendid public schools for our children, giving employment to thousands of our young women as teachers, are one of our greatest alds to race building. However, there are conditions ex- isting in this city which are of vital importance to both races. We are working to help the women, but our progress 1s handicapped by the unsan- itary conditions in a large number of their bomes. Many negro families Mve in small houses close together, having a common yard. To get into these homes, whose yards are a net- work of clothes lines filled with snowy-white clothes, one has to stop, twist and dodge until a door ts found. On entering you will sometimes find three women washing clothes in one room of a two-room house, the little children standing around, for it ts too wet and cold for them to play out- doors. Three tubs of water and wet clothes in a small two-room house. Sinn one taka) nto conniharetad could be kept away from the damp and slush. We hope to establish a day nursery in these congested communities, but we are not able to do so without outside ald. We ask all lovers of God and humanity to invest a little money for him at the bottom of the ladder, where so many of his creatures dwell, who are never blessed with the glad sunlight of sweet, clean homes. Help us to save our children and we will save yours through our im- proved health and better sanitation in our homes. Respectfully, ANNA M. TATE, Chairman, In an Informing paper on “The Eco- nomic Condition of Negroes in the North,” in the Southern Workman, Dr. R, R. Wright, Jr,, the editor of the Christian Recorder, presents some statistics and conclusions worthy the thoughtful consideration of the read- ers of The Age, and especially the negro preachers, settlement workers and others engaged in uegto uplift work in the North and Western states. Some of Dr. Wright's conclusions are very startling and disconcerting; such, for instance, as that “Until recently the negroes of the North did not re- produce themselves; the great _in- crease of negroes in the large cities was due chiefly to imifigration from the South, ‘To an extent, it is true today that the chief source of in- crease “of the northern negro popula- tion is the immigration of negrocs. More than half the negroes in the clt- les of the North today were born in the South.” He finds that records of births among negroes are very difflcult to obtain, and “even now most of the cit- ies would report an excess of deaths over births if they reported anything.” In Philadelphia, where separate rec- ords of births and deaths have been kept since 1900, with a fair degree of accuracy, a)table is given showing the results tor nine years, In 190), 1901 and 1902 there were 420, and again in 1908 144 more deaths than births. For the five other years the excess of births over deaths was only 1,832, the total excess for the nine years being 1,262 in favor of births, The bureau of vital statistics is of the opinion, however, that many negro births are not reported, However this may be, Wright concludes that “it 1s probable that the principal increase of the ne gro population is due to the births among the immigrant negroes from the South, rather than to tue native-born northern negroes, and that in reality the native-born negro does uot repro duce himselt”; that 1s, does not per- petuate himself. Our cbservation in New York for 83 years 1s that families peter out in the male line, leaving one or two healthy members, or become lost in the third and fourth generations. In this way most of the family names of old New Yorkers have been wiped out. The same thing is true of Philadel. phia, where in 1900 only some 40 per cent of the 1,265 marr.ages were of Philadelphians, 37.7 per cent being born in Virginia, 13.9 in Maryland and 6.9 In North Carolina, In concluding the consideration of the birth and death rate, and the small number of marriages contracted, based in the main on the Philadelphia statis- tics, Mr, Wright says: “This much may be haphazard, that the negro in the northern city, handi- capped by an increased cost of living and shut out of the fullest enjoyment of the community life, does not re- produce himself, but must be constant- ly reinforced by people from an en- vironment sanctioning a lower stan- dard of living, who are able and will consent to have children, If the mi gration from the South were cut off the northern negro population would probably slowly die out, For the population now maintains itself not only by immigration but by immigra- tion of those who will have families. Their children, the second generation, born and reared under northern condi- tions, are those who do not reproduce theraselves.* ‘That this condition 1s not brought about by the climatic conditions of the northern and western states 1s shown conclusively by statistics, the death rate of the negro population of 12 northern and western cities, for 1900, being greatly less than that of 12 southern cities, that of Savannah, Charleston and New Orleans being twice as great as that of New York and Chicago. “Nor {s that the only indication,” says Dr. Wright. “Ac- ‘cording to the census, the death rate of northern negroes 1s frequently low- er than that of whites In southern cit- tes.” ‘The reason for the condition that works against the perpetuation or reproduction of the negro in the north- ern and western states must be sought for in some other causes than climate, housing and high cost of living, as compared with southern conditions. The question is one of vita) interest and could to advantage be made a special study_by our physicians. In a thoughtful article in The Out- look for April 8 last, dealing with the decline of the birth rate in Great Brit- ain, the Australian states, France and the United States, Colonel Theodore Roosevelt takes a doleful view of the future, as failure of population and decadence of nationality go together. If the negro race {s producing more females than males, {f marriages are becoming fewer, if the death rate is General Farm Notes In planning the barn, make the hay mow ample in size. ‘The same root can cover a high barn as well as a low one, and the same foundation will support {t. Hay stored in the mow un- der a good roof will be worth twice as much the following spring as hay stacked out. On thin land, intended for clover or grass seeding, a thin coating of ma- nure will Insure a better stand. Where clover hay is fed and the manure ap- plied to the land, a partlal stand of clover may be secured through the manuring. In this case it 1s better to apply the manure to the surface of the plowed ground and harrow it well into the surface, On hot days you like to take a Jus of cool water to the field with you. The team also will appreciate a cool drink in the field on hot days, so why not take along in the wagon an elght- gallon milk can of water for the horses? ‘The work animals must have plenty of good, substantial feed during the weeks of heavy plowing, planting and harvesting. Remove the harness at noon so they can rest better. Do not work the teams long hours any day unless there {s extra rush work on hand. You and the team can do more and better work {f you work moderately each day and take plenty of time for rest. It is never economy to rush things every day of the week Systematic work is what counts, Nothing 1s quite so ugly as a farm with fence rows grown up with brush and weeds, By cutting out and mow- ing the fence tows a few times, grass will gradually begin to take the placo of the undesirable growth.

Do not rest till all the farm 1s fenced and cross-fenced with high, tight and strong woven wire. Fine fences improve the beauty as well as increase the earning value of land. ‘They make {t possible to utilize all of the flelds for pasture when they are not in other crops. On the aver- age farm a large share of the summer growth goes to waste for want of adequate fencing. Fences are an in- dication of thrift.

C., Muskingum college of this place, which has among its graduates some of the most noted theologs, scholars and missionaries in the world and has just finished the celebration of its seventy-fifth anniversary, has con- ferred upon Rey. James E. Shepard the degree of doctor of divinity. Al- though this institution 1s one of the smaller colleges {ts standard is 80 high and its graduates such eminent characters that it 1s recognized throughout Christendom as a great institution of learning.

Walter Liggitt, who are con- ‘tributing to the spiritual and educa- tional development of the negro. | Graduates of this noted college will be found in every section of the world giving service for the true develop- ment of man and the redemption of heathens. It boasts of the fact that 55 per cent. of its male graduates are sither in the ministry or the mission- ary work of the world Because of the far-reaching influ- ence of the school of Doctor Shepard and meeting the pecullar religious exi- gencles of the negro people the above honors were largely won by this prog- ressive Afro-American. Doctor Shep- ard, some years ago, gave up his pro- fession as pharmacist, at which time he was registered under the laws of his state, to enter active Christian work and today he fs filling the place of his father, the late Rey. Dr. Augus- tus Shepard, who 1s regarded as one }of the ablest ministers in the race and who has accomplished great work for the religious, educational, social, economic uplift of his race in North Carolina and states contiguous to same.

Beard, an alumnus of the Georgia State University for Ne- groes, Dr. Beckett's election was made unanimous atter the first ballot, the other candidates withdrawing in his favor. The concensus of opinion among the leaders of the church is that the administration of Dr. Beckett will be fruitful and that all forces in the state will be coupled for success- ful work, ‘The Allen untversity 1s the pride of the negro people In South Carolina and is doing a great work. Connected with it 1s a board of 100 trustees, among whom are some of the many great preachers, school men and most substantial citizens of the state.

Phone Main 8232 THE ZOBEL BROTHERS’ 1004 Nineteenth Street, Corner of Curtis FINE WINES, LIQUORS AND CIGARS COORS' CELEBRATED BEER ON TAP DENVER - COLORADO Boy Scouts at Work on New Task WASHINGTON.—Boy Scouts of America are doing a piece of real and extremely useful scouting. They are searching for trees that are afflicted with disease or insects. This work was started in Pennsylvania, where a disease is destroying thousands of chestnut trees. The boys have been of great help to the forestry department in detecting this disease and reporting the trees thus afflicted to the department of forestry. That work afforded an excellent piece of scouting for boys and the result has been that boy scouts throughout the country have written to James E. West, chief scout executive of the Boy Scouts of America, asking for information about other diseases and insects that affect trees and shrubs. They wanted something definite to look for in their hikes. As a result George H. Merritt, one of the secretaries employed by the Boy Scouts of America, is compiling with the aid of Gifford Pinchot, former CHURCH flag is the emblem and standard of God, and to place it above the flag of the United States during religious services aboard a vessel is but little enough recognition of God, it was asserted the other day by Dr. E. M. Blackwell, of the navy. "I have noticed that certain parties object to the church pennant being holsted above the national flag on board ship of the navy during divine services, stating in effect that there is nothing paramount to the national flag," Dr. Blackwell said. "As regards other nations and flags and other human organizations, I fully agree that there is nothing paramount to the United States or its flag, but there is a Supreme Power or Force that is paramount to everything earthly, and the emblem of that Supreme Power or Force, when hoisted, should be hoisted above every other flag or emblem. "As I understand it, the church flag, whether Christian, Jew, Buddhist, Brahman, Confucian, Mahommedan, or what not, is the emblem and standard of God to that religion and not of the religion itself. "Different nations and peoples have conflicting ideas of God. Some regard Him as a Supreme Being, others as the great Force or Power of the universe or nature; but, however we regard Him, we should recognize Him as the great unmertering, all powerf that rules, govern universe, and shit mit to His laws grand a personage may be, they have to the laws of national laws of God. "Men and nation have arrogated they were supreme have had their wiped out of existence is not a vestige of destruction by families, fire, and the foundering of other marine disasters. "As a great mass of this country Christian faith, and pleasably ruined church pennant we should use a great Being to wance." U. S. Treasury Department Greatest THERE is no institution on earth that handles as much money as the treasury department of the United States government. It collects and expends all moneys authorized to be collected and expended by congress. It advises congress as to the amount of money necessary to run the government for each fiscal year. It mints the coin, prints the paper money as well as the postage and revenue stamps. Among the other activities of this great department of government is the protection of the people from counterfeiters; the maintenance of vessels to suppress smuggling and to enforce quarantine regulations, to save life, to conserve the public Illicit Distilling Is on the Increase MOONSHINING—the act of manufacturing distilled liquors in violation of the internal revenue law—is on the increase all over the country, according to experts of the treasury department. Of course, the department never concerns itself with questions of public policy, and consequently it has nothing to do or say about the increase or decrease of prohibition throughout the United States. Nevertheless the work of the bureau of internal revenue is immediately concerned with this question of public policy, because it has been found that wherever prohibition laws exist there also is afforded the greatest possible incentive for violations of the internal revenue laws by "moonshiners." It will be some weeks yet before the report of the work of internal revenue agents with respect to the enforcement of the laws against "moonshining" will be compiled for the last fiscal year, but enough is known to warrant the statement that there has not only been a great increase, but a great spread of that industry in the last fiscal year. CAPITAL United States forester and member of the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America, a chapter for the manual and for the scoutmasters outlining different diseases of the most significant trees. Boys also are being taught what diseases of the trees and what plants are likely to prove harmful to themselves. This work will train the observation powers of the boys by keeping them alert. They will watch the trees and the shrubs more closely, and through alertness they will appreciate beauty of the trees and of the surroundings, and they will gain many beneficial results from that work. "Among the most destructive insects," said Merritt, "must be enumerated the bark lice or scale insects, plant lice, wood borers, coddling moth, San Jose scale, tent caterpillars, canker worms, tussockmoths, leaf-mining beetles, gall-forming insects, chinchbugs, army worms, weevils and locusts. Aside from this army of destruction to forest and orchard tree allike, and to the lesser plants, there are also causes of loss due to such agents as fungus, animals, weather conditions, etc. "The boy scouts, I think, can be of material service in doing real scouting in locating cases of blighted trees or of those badly affected by insects, feeders and parasites." as the great unmeasurable, overmastering, all powerful, irresistible Force that rules, governs and directs the universe, and should willingly submit to His laws. No matter how grand a personage, or great a nation may be, they have got to succumb to the laws of nature, which are the laws of God. "Men and nations at various times have arrogated to themselves that they were supreme over earth, and have had their answers by being wiped out of existence, so that there is not a vestige left of them, and in destruction by earthquakes, floods, famines, fire, and pestilence and by the foundering of the Titanic and other marine disasters. "As a great majority of the people of this country acknowledge the Christian faith, and as Christian people practically rule the world, the church pennant is certainly the one we should use as representing that great Being to whom we owe allegiance." health, construct and maintain public buildings all over the country, and audit and pay the accounts of all the other departments of the government. It also controls and supervises the national banking system, comprising some 8,000 banks, with a capital of a billion dollars and a surplus of $700,000,000. In short every financial function of the United States comes in contact with this department. Since the administration of President Washington the treasury portfolio has been held by 44 individuals. Seventeen states have furnished all the men who have presided over the treasury department down to and including the present incumbent. They have come from various sections of the country. Geographically the north Atlantic division of states supplied nearly one-half; 21 came from the states embraced in that division. The north central division of states was represented by 12; the south central by 6 and the south Atlantic by 5. The western division of states, as yet, have not been called upon for a treasurer. THE OFFICERS ARE COMIN' The greatest increase in this illegal business in recent years has been noted in Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia and Tennessee. While the internal revenue officers have been constantly raiding the districts where the illicit industry has been known to exist for half a century or more, a backfire has sprung up in the settled districts of those states which has necessitated an increase in the force of inspectors and agents and great diligence and energy all along the line. Furthermore, the "moonshining" industry has begun to invade the north, and particularly some of the larger cities of the north, where the possibility of hiding is excellent. OLD HOME DEDICATED LOG RESIDENCE OF JOAQUIN MIL LER TO BE PRESERVED. Californians Extol Him and Place Him Among the World's Great Figures—His Greatness Not to Be Appreciated Until His Death. Under the auspices of the California State Association the quaint little log cabin in which Joaquin Miller, the poet of the Sierras, lived while in Washington, has been dedicated in Rock Creek Park, to which it was moved from its original site, now occupied by a more pretentious log cabin in which Joaquin Miller, the poet of the Sierras, lived while in Washington, has been dedicated in Rock Creek Park, to which it was moved from its original site, now occupied by a more pretentious residence. Michael O'Donoghue, poet of the society, presided. Many tributes were paid to Joaquin Miller. Representatives Julius Kahn and Joseph Klowland delivered the principal addresses. Senators Chamberlain, Works, La Follette and Meyers were expected to make short speeches, but were unable to take part in the exercises. Henry White, who donated the cabin to the California State Society, was also unable to be present. Nearly 200, most of whom were Californians, joined in the celebration. "Like Edgar Allen Poe, his greatness will not be appreciated until his death. Then his name will grow, and he will go down in history as one of the greatest literary lights the world has ever known," said Representative Kahn. "Strange to say, the English people appreciate Miller more than the Americans. In the years to come this country will awaken to the realization that he was one of America's greatest writers. Miller's 'Columbus,' or 'Sail On, Sail On,' is considered by English people to be his greatest masterpiece, and truly it is." Following the address of Representative Kahn, John Phillips Meakin, for years a citizen of Salt Lake City, recited this poem. Mr. Meakin said he considered it Miller's masterpiece. "The American public does not, and will not until Miller is dead, appreciate his wonderful genius," added Mr. Meakin. Representative Knowland told of the literary lights who have at times lived in California, naming Mark Twain, Bret Harte, Frank Norris, Edwin Markham and Gertrude Atherton. He placed Joaquin Miller among the world's great poets. He said that last fall he visited Miller at his home near Oakland, Cal., where he found him feeble. "Miller told me that most of the timber used in the construction of his cabin came from Rock Creek Park," said Mr. Knowland. "It is a strange coincidence that the cabin should rest in the place where he cut the timbers with which to build it. He also told me that most of the rock used in the cabin came from the Washington monument. He seemed thankful that his cabin was to be preserved, and expressed the desire to see it before his death." A poem, "My Log Cabin Lovers," written for the occasion by Miller, was recited by Fred E. Woodward, who read extracts from letters from Juanite, the daughter of the poet, and from Miller himself. In a letter to Mr. Woodward she said: "Precious papa is not seriously ill. He has no pain, thank God, but he is not strong, and although he sleeps and eats well he becomes exhausted after a short ride or drive or walk or any mental effort. Those log cabin verses have not worried him, however, as they camet directly from his heart." The extract from Miller's letter reads: "Of course I am glad to hear of the care of the cabin, a compliment to Washington as well as to myself. Vanity? So be it. I have always believed in myself." OLD CORNER STONE IS FOUND The Original Landmark of the District of Columbia is Brought to Light. The original corner stone of the District of Columbia, which was laid with pomp and ceremony on April 15, 1791, has again been brought to light. It is located beneath a sea wall in front of Jones' Point lighthouse, on the Potomac below Alexandria. It remained there for 70 years exposed to the weather, until in 1861 it was concealed by the construction of the sea wall around the lighthouse. The United States engineer corps, Col. W. C. Langft commanding, has been making some repairs and the stone was disclosed when a small part of the retaining wall was removed. The wall will be rebuilt so that the stone will remain in view protected by a concrete inclosure with a grating in front. It is expected that the Columbia Historical society will erect a permanent tablet beside the relic to commemorate the laying of the first District corner stone. The stone is badly weathered and the inscriptions are nearly all illegible. The figure "7" may be read on the southeast side, this evidently being part of the date. London Fogs Costly. It has been computed that one day of fog in London entails an extra expense of from $30,000 to $50,000. CATACOMBS OF THE CAPITOL Vast Sub-Cellar Where for Years Have Been Stored All Manner of Documents. The Capitol building at Washington covers about four acres of ground. Three stories under this building is a vast sub-cellar that occupies practically that entire space. Into this sub-cellar for many years have been taken en all manner of government documents brought to the Capitol for which no use was found. To him who ventured into this subterranean region there was given the vista of vast alles piled high with an accumulation of these documents. There were to be found great quantities of the Congressional Records, handsomely bound in leather. There were practically unlimited quantities of the cloth-bound reports of the secretaries of various departments for various years. There were many wagon loads of such reports as that of the chief engineer of the war department. The geological survey had contributed great numbers of volumes of a narrow and very technical nature, in which only scientific men following very narrow lines of investigation were interested. The lesser publications of various bureaus and various investigations were to be found in great quantities. Altogether there was in the vaults and corridors perhaps a thousand tons of worthless printed matter that could be used by nobody in the world. This vast accumulation of useless documents upon which many millions of dollars had been wasted in printing was a veritable white elephant upon the hands of the government. Not only were the basements of most of the departments of the government printing office, and of the capitol glutted with it, but the government was paying rent on half a dozen warehouses which were serving no other purpose than for storage of these waste documents. In addition to the rent of these buildings, watchmen were being maintained for them. In the year 1909, the public printer by direction of the joint commission on printing, sold 1,500,000 government documents as waste paper. These documents sold for less than 1 cent a pound, and only brought $14,000 in the aggregate. There were 950 tons of these documents, and under the law they must be mutilated before being sold in order that they might not be disposed of by some jobber as government documents. The mutilation of this accumulation cost the government nearly $3,000. BOLIVIAN BOY A FAVORITE Little Son of Secretary and Mme. Bali Ilvian Is Considered Beautiful One of the brightest and most atractive among the little folks of the foreign colony at the capital is Rene the son of the first secretary and Mme Rene Ballivian. Ballivian, of the Bolivian legation. He is also the grandson of the minister, Senior Calderon, and is a beautiful litte the boy with black eyes and hair. Just two and a half years old, he is the pet of his grandfather and is frequently seen out walking with him. Rene was born in his own country, Bolivia, and is very fond of horses, one of his most valued possessions being a hoppy horse which he never tires of riding. Summer White House. Governoroz Goldsborough of Maryland was greeted with applause when in a speech at Annapolis he said definite steps would be taken with a view to induce Congress to build a summer home for the president of the United States on the banks of the Severn River, or on some other attractive site near Annapolis. Since the publication of the governor's suggestion that the neighborhood of Annapolis offers the most available site for the summer capital of the nation he has been in receipt of many endorsements of the idea. Teachers for Philippines Selected. More than 100 American teachers have been selected by the war department for service in the Philippine islands to advance the American public school system there. They will soon sail from San Francisco for their new home. 13 DROWNED IN COAL MINE CLOUDBURST FLOODS MINE AND MEN ARE TRAPPED LIKE THIRTY-SEVEN ESCAPE WIVES AND FAMILIES OF VIC TIMS MADE VAIN EFFORT TO CHECK WATER. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Uniontown, Pa.—Caught like rats in a trap when water rushed into the manway of Superba No. 2 coal mines at Evans station, three miles north of Uniontown, following a cloudburst, thirteen men were drowned and thirty-seven escaped after a most harrowing experience. The men were drowned about 4,000 feet from the mouth of the mines, their only avenue of escape. The majority of the victims had large families and about thirty children are deprived of support. The men who escaped were forced half to swim and half to walk to the pit mouth through water ranging in depth from their waist to their necks. The majority of the miners who escaped were knocked down by timbers that were sent down the mine with great velocity in the current. Several men were being carried back in the mine to certain death when rescued by their companions. It was stated by officials of the Superba company that it will take at least sixty days to clear the mine of water, and until that time bodies must remain in the mine. Superintendent Buttermore was the first man to see the high water start in the manway. He raised the alarm and all the men on the outside rushed into the mine yelling loudly as they went. In that manner more than half the miners were saved. The wives and families of the miners and drivers in the mines when the alarm was raised, rushed to a large hole made by the rushing water at the manhole and threw bushes, poles and watever, timber they could find into the water to stop its onrush. Failing in this they rushed to the mouth of the mine, but were stopped by the men who guarded the entrance. Several large pumps will be placed in the mine and everything possible will be done to get the bodies. Must Not Misuse Mails. Washington.—So many complaints have been made that the general delivery in city postoffices is being used by boys and girls, and even by husbands and wives, to get mail which they do not wish sent to their homes by carriers, that Postmaster General Hitchcock has taken cognizance of it. He has ordered a more strict observance of the postal laws and regulations. A statement issued at the department says: "Under the regulations postmasters may require all persons to furnish in writing their names and addresses, and statements of their reasons for preferring to be served at the general delivery. Minors may be requested to furnish similar information and also the names of their parents, in order that the parents may be notified and have an opportunity to control the delivery of the mail."

Cretonne Hats, Little poke and country bonnets have had a great success when made in fine silky straws which have a droll incongruity with their simplicity, They are trimmed with tiny flowers and broderio Anglaise. Some pretty hats of this variety are, however, made up in Valenciennes lace, while others, again, are covered with cretonne and flowered muslin.

The tiniest garden can be made to furnish flowers for cutting all through the summer. If flowers must be used more than once, it takes little time to have a separate decoration for each meal. ‘The freshness of sweet peas, nastur- tiums, pansies, snapdragons, mart. golds and poppies makes up for their lack of rarity. At breakfast keep the scheme sim: ple; some people will not use flowers ‘@ this meal, but a few fresh blooms in a slender vase are sure to look at- tractive. Dinner decoration should have thought put into it, and the lady of the flowers should bear in mind the family tastes and anniversaries. The amateur florist often laments the short life of some of her treasures, Poppies, for instance, must be put on the table just when the meal Is ready, If they are to be a success at all. A good’scheme fs to fill vases with water and take them into the giden. putting each poppy in as it is picked. ‘Treated in this way, poppies keep sev: eral days and much more artistic ar rangement fs the result. Few things are more depressing than fading flowers. A handful of wild car rot leaves, freshly gathered, is Infinite ly better than a florist’s elaborate cre ation which has seen better days. "There 1s a passing fad for flowers arranged after the crowded posy fash- fon in which we have been trimming our hats and gowns, but the woman who really loves flowers will give them more room and a more natural setting, and content herself with time tried combinations, such as purple pansies with forgetme-nots, pink roses or phlox with delicate lavender tones of sweet peas, green ferns with a few white floowers, or the reddish- brown marigolds and pale yellow pop- pies, White Satin Mannish Shirts. The new models most in demand for midsummer use are the satin mannish shirts, says the Dry Goods Economist. These are very smart, especially the styles with Robespierre collar and hav- ing crystal buttons down the center front. The long shirt sleeves are otued to an extended shoulder line, in many cases finished off with a small satin cording. Embroidered Dots. Black or a color {s introduced effec: tively in some very new white lingerie waists that are tucked all over in clus- ters and that have sailor collars and cuffs embroldered with dots, the dots the color of the crystal buttons. ‘The waists are uncommonly smart, New Leather Belts. Inch-wide patent leather belts in black, pink coral or light blue are cut over their white linings and piped with the white. ‘The buckles are brass or leather covered, SS ~ <a a = ae aes be | fs ; | | hy Fad We eee ee ae ee ER het ale “ ks.
