PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADVERTISE IN THIS PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY NEGROES CHANCES VOL. XVIII. NEGRO CI (By Henry S. Creamer. In New York Age.) After all which has been said and written about the Negroes' opportunities one would conclude that the word "opportunity" might just as well be considered obsolete as far as the professional Negro is concerned. Complaints of lack of chance emanate from numerous Negro lawyers, doctors, etc., continually, and even the performer constantly wails about the foot of oppression being upon his neck. The Negro is daily being taught that his color is an unsurmountable obstacle and has reached the stage where he is a firm believer of that statement. There are about 200 Negro weekly papers throughout the United States which publish in each issue something to discourage their readers. The usual headlines proclaim dire disaster to the race, fatal happenings or ultimate believers in future destruction of the Negro, physically, financially and some even claim morally. Should a prominent Negro die of a mental disease, immediately the whole Negro Press wonders if the race will die of the same; not only do they wonder but they ask it in largest type. Should a Negro enterprise of any note by chance fail; the Negro as a business proposition is immediately condemned by his press, although thousands of white enterprises fail every day. The Negro physicians is no exception to the rule; he mourns for rights he claims he is deprived of and so on down the line you hear the usual tale of woe, so much so, that we look for the initial "P" (standing for pessimistic) to be prefixed before the noted gentleman's name. Have you ever stopped to reckon the amount of harm our papers unthinkingly do? Has it ever occurred to you that the discouraging articles published by Negro papers have a tendency to place the whole race in a false light before the entire universe? Can we not realize that such articles do more to draw a greater color line than any other known source? The Negro newspapers remind one of the man who imagines that he is sick. This fellow, whom we have all met, constantly greets one with a sorrowful story in which he embodies every imaginable physical ailment and claims that he is sick. This fellow, whom we have all met, constantly greets one with a sorrowful story in which he em. bodies every imaginable physical ailment and claims that he is the possessor of them all. Should you by chance mention a new disease he will ask the symptoms and immediately show you wherein he has also suffered from that for years. Just so with our editors; they kill the race weekly—it almost seems as if they do it for lack of something else to write upon. Total the above complaints and the answer will be "race problem." Many have asked for the solution of this "race problem"—there is but one solution and that is education and ownership. Not until the Negroes have both of the afore-sand assets can they be in the position to demand and obtain their constitutional rights. True, they may demand it now, but that is as far as they get. The Jews have been persecuted to a greater extent than the Negroes, but ownership wiped out all prejudicial lines and made them a power in the land. When the Jew was told he could not enter, he immediately bought the property and we know the result. There is nothing of financial interest done in this country and oftimes in foreign kingdoms without our Jewish friend being consulted. Many would like to bar the Jew from the pirvileges which he enjoys, but the Jew owns the privilege. The same must be taught to the Negro. He must own his own house, his church, his hospital and everything that is necessary, which included money. Next, he must own his mediums of amusements, such as theatres, pleasure casinos, playgrounds, etc., and from that he may advance to proprietorship of luxuries such as automobiles, vachts, etc. We must admit that the Negro is prone to imitate the millionaire although he is far from one. Should the Negro devote the energy used in stalling, to business or professional enterprise, he would soon realize a wonderful advancement. The ordinary Negro who is adorned with golden lockets, fobs, chains and trinkets beset with diamonds, rubies and pearls, does not pay direct tax on fifteen cents worth of real property and therefore has no real voice in civic government. He is a great thinker, speechmaker, resolution-passer and voter; likewise he is a great "demander." His favorite expression is "I move if I can obtain a second to the motion," and his strongest expression commences DENVER. COLORADO. SATURDAY. AUGUST 3 1912. State Hist & Nat Hist Sources State Houses HANTS WI ADC Z JOURNAL DENVER, COLORAD with the words "Resolved that we." The Negro in convention moves and resolves all day and then adjournes only to meet again for the purpose of passing more motions and resolutions; in other words the Negro is too theoretical and not practical enough. When the Negro can stand and look about him and point to land, houses, churches, hospitals, banks and the essential requisites of race prosperity and claim owneeship, then he is in the position to say what he will and will not stand for—and not until then. When he is in this position he can use his education to secure proper representation by his own race in civic government. Here are two facts that the Negro should take advantage of: First—He is the balance of political power. Second—The prejudice against his race is a wonderful money-making medium. Were Negroes to capitalize a company and buy in or obtain equities in real estate throughout neighborhoods where the white people desire exclusiveness (which means any body but a Negro for a neighbor) they would easily make a record for quick sales and large profits. The mere knowledge that Negro people owned the property would assure it. When the Negro was freed from slavery he had a right to ask assistance from the man who had unlawfully deprived him of his liberty—but since that time the Negro has had opportunity to become educated and should therefore take advantage of his learning. The race should assert manhood and slop carrying the begger's tin cup. A few brains here and a few dollars there, added together will create an enterprise worthy of noise. The fact remains—the Negro has plenty of chances but he must have the nerve, capital and education to take advantage of them. What if he has not got them? Get them. Every race is born with a certain amount of natural vanity which allows it to boast upon slightest provocation. We boast that Bert Williams, a Negro, is the greatest comedian on the American stage—he has proven it. We boast that a Negro, Jack Johnson, is the best man in the world—he has proven it. We boast that we have the greatest lawyers, financiers and physicians now prove it. Hint for Travelers Reading the dictionary for pleasure is not an unknown occupation, and there is the testimony of one well known man that, while traveling, he had found one etymological dictionary a "perpetual succession of pleasant surprises." Such a book is good for one who finds it hard to concentrate his mind amid the distractions of a journey. Chicago, July 30.—"They won't let me fight a white man in New York and there's too much red tape connected with the shorter bouts," said John Arthur Johnson yesterday. "I've got all that I can get out of the game, now. Let the others fight it ou among themselves. "No, there's no chance for me to come back. I'm through and that means that three can be no inducement offered which will be sufficiently strong to get me to don my fighting cloths again." Johnson further said that not even an offer of $100,000 would bring him back. "I may do some exhibition work but as far as a real bout is concerned there is nothing doing," said the champion. "I stated before my fight with Flynn that I was through Labor day, but as the promoters don't see fit to give me what I want it is goodby to the arena. I feel that I have given every fighter in the world who was worthy a chance for a bout, and before I annexed the title I was willing to fight for not much more than a square meal. Now, when I have the championship, the promoters still think I ought to do the same. "Some of my enemies may say that I am leaving the ring to avoid a match with Joe Jeannette or Jam Langford, but this is not true. The New York promoters, as well as all others who have asked me to fight, have received my terms. These they refuse to grant me, so that is all. You can put this dawn for good Jack Johnson will never enter the ring again in a real bout. Mobile, Ala., July 18.—For the first time, it is said, in the history of Alabama a court was adjourned today out of respect to the memory of a colored man, Henry Kinney was born in slavery and became janitor of the county courthouse here soon after he obtained his freedom. He died last night and today the Circuit Court, the only one in session in the building, was ordered adjourned until after the funeral. During his service of almost a half century, Kinney carried many millions of dollars from the County Treasurer's office to local banks. In odjourning court, Judge Samuel B. Brown made a brief address, paying tribute to his record as a public servant. Never Satisfied. The man who marries for money always thinks he is underpaid. Self-Depreciation Too Prevalent. For one man who thinks too much of himself there are a hundred who think too little.—Exchange. RACE NEWS J. B. Nelson, a composer and playwright by inspiration, has selected the likeness of Madam E. Aazalia Hackley for the frontispiece of his newest song, "Silvery Moon." His headquarters are at 2995 State street. J. C. Groves, the "potato king," located near Kansas City, Kan., will net $10,000 this year on his crop of potatoes. Harvesting has begun; the yield being fifty bushels per acre. Grooves is a member of the National Negro Business Men's League. St. Louis, Mo., July 23.—The Harris and Mosely Grocery Company, one of the leading colored business concerns of St. Louis, has closed its doors, bad business being assigned as the cause by Paul W. Mosely, one of the city's most enterprising young men and president of the local business league. J. Finley Wilson, the hustling journalist, business promoter and fraternal leader, is said to be slated for grand organizer of the I. B P. Order of Elks. The Grand Lodge meets August 27, in Dayton, O. Mr. Wilson has done much hard work for the order and is entitled to the place He is especially fitted for it. Nashville, Tenn., July 26.—Two white men, George Shelton and John Baily, were hanged here today for the murder of Ben Pettigew, an old Negro, and his two children. As Pettigrew and his children came along the road they shot them down. Dispute over land is said to have been the motive. A white man committed to the Coatesville, Pa., hospital became hopelessly insane when he discovered that he was housed in the room from which the mob took Jack Walker and lynched and burned him in August of last year. If bad luck following a bad action counts for anything, and the Coatesvillians are wise enough to know it, it will be a long time before Coatesville lynches and burus another human being. New York, July 24.—Charitable institutions benefit largely and more than one hundred and fifty thousand dollars goes to friends by bequests in the will of Ellen Collins, who bied on July 3, filed NO 47 for probate today. Among the bequests to individuals is one of five thousand dollars to Booker T. Washington and his wife, Margaret M., of Tuskegee, Ala. The New York Society of Friends receives thousand dollars for mission purposes. Trenton, N. J., July 22.—The State Supreme Court, in an opinion today by Justice Kalisch, sustained a verdict of $500 obtained by Minerva Miller, colored, against the proprietor of a moving picture show in Passaic for alleged discrimination on account of her race. She tendered the usual admission fee of five cents, but was told that the price for colored persons was twenty-five cents. The Court held that this discrimination is against the Act of 1844 to protect all citizens in their civil and legal rights, Guthrie, Okla., July 24.—Democratic registration officials are refusing Negroes the right to vote under the "grandfather" clause in various sections of the State. When asked as to the legality of this action, United States District Attorney Isaac D. Taylor said: "Since the Federal Court has passed upon this question, holding the law to be in conflict with the Conflict with the Constitution and the laws of the United States, we are of the opinion that neither registration nor election officers can claim that they act in good faith when in enforcing the "grandfather clause law" against Negroes contrary to and in direct contravention of the Federal Courts on the subject." Niagara Falls, N. Y., July 24. The Negro employees of the Shredded Wheat Company have organized themselves into a welfare association for the purpose of assisting in the betterment of racconditions. Recently the association arranged for a concert to be given at the works of the Shredded Wheat Company by the Tuskegee Institute quartet. All of the white and colored employees of the company attended the concert and crowded the auditorium hall to the very doors. Through its officers, the association has just forwarded to Dr. Booker T. Washington, principal of Tuskegee Institute, a check for $50 for the purpose of supporting a scholarship at Tuskegee. It is the intention to send this scholarship annually.

Western Newspaper Union News Service. WESTERN. Pronounced dead by a physician and made ready for burial, Charles Singer, living near Urbania, Kan., re- vived after twenty-four hours. Rio Blanco county, Colo., is harvest- ing the greatest crop of alfalfa in tea years. More than 75,000 acres are aver- aging two and one-half tons per acre. The Williams and Bartlett Springs stage was held up at the Prim grade, about thirty-five miles from Williams, California, the robbers obtaining $2, 500 in cash, besides much jewelry. J. E. Cody, who claims to be the world's champion diver, performed the feat of swimming down the Willamette river from Oregon City, to Portland, Ore., a distance of thirteen miles. Flashing the success of the most distinctive achievement in the history of wireless telegraphy, newspaper dispatches amounting to 1,800 words were sent direct from San Francisco to Honolulu, a distance of 2,100 miles. Further investigation into the land fraud cases instituted by the government against the Southern Pacific in Oregon has begun in San Francisco, with B. D. Townsend, special agent of the Department of Justice, in charge of the inquiry. James B. McNamara, serving a life sentence in San Quentin, Calif., penitentiary for murder committed in the dynamiting of the Los Angeles Times building, is held in solitary confinement in an effort to make him confess further details of that conspiracy. By the testimony of Robert Oxnard, now president of the American Beet Sugar Company, it was shown in the government inquiry in San Francisco that H. O. Havemeyer controlled the Western sugar market, as well as the other territory in the United States, as far back as 1891. Lieut. Costigan of the New York police force, in testifying before the grand jury which is investigating the killing of Rosenthal, the gambler, who, after threatening to expose officials for protecting gamblers in that city, declared that Police Commissioner Waldo had entire charge of the gambling situation, raids and arrests being made only upon his authority. Believed to have been mentally unbalanced by the grief over the loss of her five children who were drowned at the same time at Reno during the flood recently, Mrs. A. Kehoe, daughter of the William Hogg, general passenger agent of the Missouri Pacific at Puebla and a cousin of Governor Hogg of Texas, committed suicide at Manhattan, Nev., by shooting herself. One thousand square miles of grazing land under one fence, with a thirty-year lease at something like $8 per square mile per year, is the alluring inducement to be held out to Western stockmen by the Argentine government. Details of the plan to encourage sheep and cattle raising in the Patagonian territory obtained by Argentine in settlement with Chill have been received in Washington by the Department of Agriculture. Articles of incorporation have been filed in Salt Lake City for the Provo & Eastern Utah Railroad Company. It is announced the new company will build a railroad from Springville to Jensen, Utah, a point near the Utah-Colorado line, and later will extend the road to Steamboat Springs, Colo., the present terminus of the Moffat line. The incorporators denied that the new road is to be affiliated with the Moffat line. The new company is incorporated for $10,000,000. WESTERN LEAGUE STANDING. Won. Lost. Pet.

Senators Root, Lodge, Sutherland, and Clark of Wyoming, are under consideration for the presidency of the court of impeachment to try Judge Archbald of the Commerce Court. Another emergency appropriation resolution to provide funds for running the government until Congress passes the general appropriation bills is being prepared by legislators to be introduced soon. A recommendation favoring the legislation and regulation of big industrial concerns, instead of their dissolution, is to be submitted to the House in a report by members of the steel investigating committee. Battleships, impeachment of Archbald, fur seal treaty, Panama Canal legislation and tariff conferences will delay Congress and disconcert those who are anxious to finish up the annual appropriation bills and close the session. Delegate Wickersham of Alaska pointed, out to the House territories committee that under the terms of the Booher bill, to provide for the leasing of government coal lands in Alaska, railroad acquisition of such coal land would be easy. Mexico and Uncle Sam reached an agreement to settle the dispute regarding the ownership of the Chamizal tract, forming part of the city of El Paso, Texas. The United States will purchase the land from Mexico, paying that nation $1,000,000. A battle between Mexican federals and rebels has been raging several days and still is in progress forty-five miles from Mexico City, according to meager reports received in Washington. Details are lacking, but the federal loss has been reported to be fifty dead. The vigor of the terms that the Senate shall use in declaring that no foreign country shall establish a naval base at Magdalena Bay, or at any other point on the American continent, will be the subject of consideration by the foreign affairs committee of the Senate. The House passed the Senate bill with minor amendments to authorize the issuance of patents to entrymen under reclamation projects upon compliance with the requirements of the homestead law as to residence and cultivation. The patents will contain liens to the government to insure the payment of the deferred water right and construction charges. This will permit entrymen to obtain patent without waiting until the close of the ten-year period allowed for completing payments to the government. GENERAL Two white men were hanged recently in Nashville, Tenn., for the murder of an old negro and his two children. Four persons were burned to death and three others injured, one probably fatally, in a hotel fire in Fairlee, Vermont.

The French Market at New Orleans, which was established in the latter part of the eighteenth century, is soon to pass into history. The old market will be torn away in the interest of better sanitation. Protestants wishing to marry Catholics need no longer sign an agreement to rear the children resulting from the marriage in the Roman Catholic faith. This is according to a recent ruling of Pope Plus. Sworn statements tending to show that the annual graft collected by high police officials in New York from gambling houses and other illegal resorts has amounted, within the last year, to $2,400,000, are in the hands of District Attorney Whitman.

Figures they have compiled to give an adequate idea of the immense harvest show that the crop will bring into Colorado $6,000,000. If all the cars were coupled together in one train they would extend almost from Pueblo to Denver.

It is estimated that 6,000 extra men will be needed and orchardists are appealing to the large cities of the state to supply them with help. Railroad For San Luis Valley. Alamosa.—Construction work is to be begun in a short time on a $1,000,000 railroad in the San Luis valley, tapping one of the most fertile sugar beet regions in the state.

The articles provide that the road may do business in Denver, Rio Grande, Costilla and Conejos counties. The proposed railroad will be standard gauge and will connect with the Denver & Rio Grande at Alamosa and Monte Vista. The road will traverse the entire length of the San Luis valley—a distance of approximately fifty miles. It will afford an outlet to some of the most fertile land lying along and beyond the Sangre de Cristo range. Most of the land between Center and Sagauche is either under irrigation or is under a proposed irrigation district. The directors of the company are J. M. Herbert and W. C. Uebele of Denver, W. S.

After reconvening Halsted L. Ritter received sufficient votes to be placed on the primary ticket next September. The only other spirited contest was that on the nominations of Benjamin C. Catron of Clear Creek and B. F. Van Noy of Morgan county for state auditor. Respective delegations cheered when votes were cast for thefr candidates, and it was necessary for the chairman to call for order con- tinually. ‘The selection of candidates for the primary ticket for congressmen at large restited in naming four men, only two of whom can be elected at the primaries in September, Under the new primary law it is re- quired that a committee be appointed to fill any vacancies, that the primary ticket may be complete. George Stidger, one of the Denver leaders, introduced a motion to have 2 delegate from Denver, El Paso and Pueblo counties to comprise this com- mittee. The assembly went into an uproar and delegates from nearly ev- ery county arose and gave views upon such a procedure. This motion was finally superseded by a substitute im- troduced by F. 0. Roof of Pueblo and Dr. Hubert L. Work, who jointly sug- gested that a committee of five be named. Chairman Frank C; Goudy allayed these fears by saying that he would attempt to appoint a committee which would represent every section of the state. He named the following: George Stidger, Denver; A. C. Dutch- er, Montrose; Dr. Hubert L. Work, Pu- eblo; John F. Vivian, Jefferson, and C. C. Hamlin, El Paso. The assembly ratified the appointments. This committee is empowered to fill any vacancies which may occur on the ticket up until September 10th, the time of the primaries. If a vacancy occurs after that time, under the pri- mary law all vacancies will be filled by the state#tentral committee. Although the assembly has an- nounced its choice of candidates to go on the Republican ticket at the pri- maries, under the new primary law it is possible for others to become can- didates, if they adhere to the require: ments of section No. 5 of the primary law.

N NEGRO SCHOOLS-- A RETROSPECT JUDGE ROBERT H. TERRELL OF WASHINGTON, D. C., ADDRESSES GRADUATING CLASS AT TUS- KEGEE INSTITUTE. Re ret ee ae Sar EO Te Net a Sake” ee Address to the graduating class of this school was delivered by Judge Robert H. Terrell of the Municipal court of the District of Columbia, Washington, D. C. Judge Terrell is one of the most prominent colored men i nthe United States—graduate of Harvard college, being commencement orator of the class of 1883, also of the law depart- ment, Howard university, Washington, D.C. He was appointed by President Roosevelt to the position of justice of the peace of the District of Columbia. He was reappointed by Mr. Roosevelt and promoted by President Taft to the position of municipal judge of the District of Columbia. Judge Ter- rell's address Was a discussion of “Ne- Bro Schools—A Retrospect.” He sald in part: “The negro has advanced an {m- measurable distance since his ances- tors first set foot on American soll. From 1619 to 1868 he yielded his lib- erty and gaye his toll unrequited to a master; his body and his intellect he gave over to an institution that would have ground to powder a less hardy people. He has done more than sitply survive these hard conditions. He has proved himself in many par- feulars equal to the severe and ex- acting demands of American clyiliza- tion in all of its better forms. And what he has accomplished has been mainly and chiefly attained in the southern states, and I believe that what he will do in the future worthy of record will be done here where there is scarcely any industrial preju- dice against him. I the south he has the best chance to win a place of economie importance, if he only takes advantage of the great opportunities at his very doors. It fs for the ne- gro to say whether or not the foreign labor which is pouring into our coun- try through the gates of all of Its sea- ports shall successfully invade his province in the southern industrial system. “Phe economic and industrial prob- lem lies in the very heart of the so- cial welfare of any race. Some one has sald that the possibility of hon- est bread and butter {s the noblest possibility of civilization, And for the negro that possibility is right here in the south—a section of the country to which he is already suited and to which it Is nct necessary for him to readjust himself. “The vast resources of the south have for a very long period of time lain dormant and inactive. But this inert- ness has given way before an indus- trial ferment that is transforming and developing this part of our land Into a new country, destined to equal, if not surpass all other sections fn sclen- tifle advancement in agriculture and in a vast expansion in manufactures. In this revolution, as far as it has gone, the negro has played no incon- siderable part. And let us indulge the hope that he is not going to abandon the opportunity to profit by the great evolution In industrial methods which is going on at his very doors; and that he {s not going to throw away his chances to attain here the substance by seeking the shadow in other far. away places. “The south is the field for the ne- gro along all lines of activity, it mat- ters not whether he be engaged in any one of the learned professions, or whether he be the skilled mechanic or unskilled laborer. Nowhere can we make men love us, but we can so con- duct ourselves, and so do our work that we will command the good will of our neighbors and become indispen- sable to our employers. “One cannot but be optimistic with regard to the future of the negro in this country when he notes the prog: ress he has already made in the first naif century of his freedom. And his accomplishments appear all the more marvelous when we contemplate the fact that the conditions which have confronted him have not always been just and fair and in some localities he is completely shut off from a participa- tion in the best industrial activities which cre freely offered to all of the other elements in our great cosmopoll- tan population, “The spirit of negro progress is cre- ated and fostered {n the negro schools now scattered all over the south. ‘These Institutions kindle in the minds of our young men and women aspira- tions for better things; they are pour. ing forth their influence to strength- en and to invigorate the moral staus of the negro. Wherever we turn we see evidences of their benign and salu- tary effect in constant development of the young, not only in intellect but even in physical apearance. In these workshops men and women are being trained and drilled for citizenship in that empire where numbers are not the main thing, and where physical power does not control, but where in- telligence and capability hold sway, a a a ern en of life without farther apprenticeship, and with » confidence born of a train ing that insista upon the practical ap plication of the theorles taught in the School room. “The Inte Dr. Mayo paid a high tribute to the kind of education which they have received here, when ho sald: ‘Don’t belleve any man who tells you that this great move ment of industrial education {s only @ clever device of your enemies to crowd down the colored man to the condition of European peasantry, only another name for the old-time chattel slavery. So far from this it 1s the scfence of sclences, tho supreme art of fine art, the sclence of putting the trained mind and the consecrated manhood into the body, so that all labor may be exalted to a mental and moral disc pline and the mighty saying of the great Apostle be verified, ‘Know ye not that you are the temple of God, and the spirlt-ot God dwelleth in you?" “And these graduates are fortunate, too, in having had for so long a time the exceptional privilege of listening to the words of wisdom which have fallen from the Ips of Tuskegee’s great principal. “It was Mark Hopkins, the renown- ed president of Williams college, wha made such a wondgrful impress on his times as an educator that it was sald, if Mark Hopkins were on one end of a log, and a student on the other, that log would be a university. And so {t may be sald of the great teacher and leader of men, Booker T. Wash: ington, that wherever he is present and speaks, that place 1s the best of schools, “I hope that the young men and women who are going out from this institution Into the world as teachers and artisans will appreciate the fact that they are to be the leaders of thelr people in the communities in which jttey locate, And as such leaders they will render their followers the | great service if they will recognize and |tell them of their defects as well as ‘sing their praises when they merit |them. Men cannot be helped by mere adulation. Nations and races can only be great in proportion as they play the parts well in the movements Jot the age. | “For nearly 50 years the negro, as Ja free agent, has been In touch with one of the world’s most intense and |nighly developed civilizations. And |in spite of the keen and almost bru: |tal competition in the industrial field, |he has been able to lay a substantial foundation on which to build the struc- jture by which he is to be judged in |the future as a real and positive force in American life. On account of his racial identity, the struggle for him is just a little harder than it is for the other man. But our faith looks [ep when we call to mind the fact that the laws which determine the destt: | nies of races are impartial and eternal. If tho negro is true to himself, faith: ful to his obligations, and appreciative Jot the grandeur of his opportunities, |he will some day take a worthy and permanent place in the higher region of American life. “Young men and young women, | knowledge is power and so is wealth And no race, whatever its color may be, whatever its condition in the past has been, that possesses these two powerful elements of civilization, can Hong be kept from God's final day of light. Let the words of that great phil- |osepher, Frederick Douglass, sing deep into your hearts: ‘Take courage (ae the example of all the re |ligious denominations,’ sald _ he, [that have sprung up since the |days of Martin Luther. Each in its turn has been oppressed and persecuted. | "yet all in turn have conquered the prejudice and hate of thelr surround. ings. Greatness does not come to any people on flowery beds of ease. We must fight to win the prize. No peo- ple to whom liber y is given can hold it so firmly or wear it so grandly as those who wrench thelr liberty from tae iron band of the tyrant. The hard ships and dangers involved in the struggle give strength and toughness to the character, and enables it to stand frm In storm as well as in sun shine.’ “My young friends, your day has dawned, your sun has risen, and there is nothing more certain than when the morning sun has once appeared above the horizon it keeps its course on to the fulness of noonday.” TO GET RID OF ANTS. ‘That household pest which is such an annoyance in the home—the small ant which is here, there and every: where—can be gotten rid of, and Wil: son Newell, state entomologist of ‘Texas at the Agricultural and Mechan: ical college of Texas, tells how. “Haye the druggist prepare a mix: ture,” said Mr. Newell, as follows: “White arsenic (poison), half a gram; cane sugar, 20 grams, water, 100 c, c. “This mixture will make about three ounces of ‘ant poison.’ It would be well to have the druggist add to It a little red confectioner’s sugar, so that the color will give warning to the household of {ts poisonous nature. A small dish of this Mquid should be placed under tables, refrigerators, etc, where the ants are in the habit ol traveling.

FOREIGN RELATIONS COMMITTEE EMPHATICALLY REAFFIRMS MONROE DOCTRINE. CARLSON’S Peerless Ice Cream Wentern Newspaper Union News Service. Washington.—The Senate foreign re- lations committee adopted without dis- sent Senator Lodge’s recommendation that the United States reaffirm the Monroe doctrince in terms clear to all the world,and adopted a resolution to express disapproval of the purchaso of any possible naval bases on the American continent by any foreign power. The Senate, in an early report, will be asked to Indorse the commit: tee’s stand. A firm statement by the United States is asked for as a result of the Magdalena bay incident, where it was shown that a Japanese syndi- eate had been negotiating for. four million acres of land along the west coast of lower California, in Mexico. While the Japanese government was found to have had no connection with the syndicate, the Senate sub committee, consisting of Senators Lodge, Root, ‘Sutherland, Hitchcock and Rayner, reported to the full com: mittee that the circumstances afford: ed an appropriate occasion for an ex pression of the voice of the Senate. ‘The lodge resolution, which _ prob: ably will be adopted, declared that the United States cannot see, without grave concern,” any harbor or advan tageous spot in the western hemis phere taken over by a foreign govern: ment, if such occupancy would threat en the commerce or the safety of the United States.” Magdalena bay is considered the most advantageously located naval base on the Pacific coast, because o} its relations to the western terminus of the Panama canal. Tt was said the corporation which had the lands to sell had advanced the argument that their possessions would de of peculiar benefit to a foreign na tion, Because of that attitude on the part of the corporation the committec decided to make clear the Americar position on what it regards as the en eroachment of foreign powers on the western continent. Senator Lodge reported the resolu tion to the Senate shortly after tha body met. The resolution was as fol lows: “Resolved, That when any harbor 01 other place in the American continen Is so situated that the occupatior thereof for naval or military purpose: might threaten the communications o1 the safety of the United States, the government of the United States coulk not see without grave concern the pos session of such harbor or otherwise by any corporation or associatior which has such a relation to another government, not American, as to give that government-practical power o: control for national purposes.” The report, after declaring that neither Japan’s nor any other govern ment was found to be behind the Max dalena bay incident, says: “It appears that the corporations c persons who have, or claim to have title to the lands have made efforts tc form a syndicate and promote the sale of these lands on the basis of the ex istence of some national value to a foreign nation in Magdalena bay as distinct from any commercial value which that bay and the adjoining ter DID YOU EVER TRY 9 Neef Bros.’ Beer?

But becoming apparent that, in the opinion can be quite done away with. In humans have recently declared that this is not important, and, in fact, As a meek, humble and thoughtful and changeless, he can be the is quite universally undesirabler in his continued well-being is not bad fight. So the colored American political helplessness. One party hasasset, and give him only comedicular about having him at all, by this wider national spirit, and long strength he is never concede adequate consideration in party devoted to drive the colored man out of camps. This result may notencies point to its ultimate revive and useless business, and to the army of undesirables shall give end the sway of class separation. The extraordinary enthusiasm and earnestness which the colored American exhibits in all things pertain to political and governmental affairs does not seem to impress other people so emphatically as it impresses the colored man himself. Stripped of all deceit and red-fire illusion, the noise which colored men make in political campaigns seems to be really taken as the comedy part running through a great sensational drama, in which the character of the low comedian always comes in for rebuffs and disappointments after the most strenuous striving for impossible results. The colored American has long been led to believe that he was playing a real, vital part in this national drama, and that upon his efforts depended in large measure the rightful outcome of the whole struggle, and especially his own good; hence his enthusiasm. But in the light of actual developments, it is becoming apparent that, in the opinion of the star actors, these comedy parts can be quite done away with. In both speech and action leading Republicans have recently declared that the part which the Negro plays in politics is not important, and, in fact, should not be allowed to become important. As a meek, humble and thoughtless voter, whose political course is certain and changeless, he can be tolerated; but as an issue-making element he is quite universally undesirable. His interests are not real party issues; he continued well-being is not a matter over which other elements should fight. So the colored American is being driven into a position of political helplessness. One party is willing to take his votes as a certain asset, and give him only comedy consideration; the other party is not particular about having him at all. Local party leaders have learned to follow this wider national spirit, and in spite of the colored man's numerical voting strength he is never conceded a place in party councils or given adequate consideration in party honors. To us this course seems calculated to drive the colored man out of politics or else into strange political camps. This result may not be reached suddenly, but all natural tendencies point to its ultimate realization. Protesting seems to be a lonesome and useless business, and the outlook is gloomy unless, some day, the army of undesirables shall grow large and strong and wise enough to end the sway of class separationists and political dictators. WEIGHED IN THE BALANCE. als subscribes to the opinion that thinks he ought to have. It po; he is not careful to impress a type of man. supports our theory that the high One of our Journals subscribes to the opinion that the Negro does not deserve all that he thinks he ought to have. It points out that he does not save his earnings; he is not careful to impress the world that he belongs to the highest type of man. The paper thus supports our theory that the highest duty of the race press and race pulpits at the present time is to make war upon the vices of the race. It should be plainly pointed out that, to a startling extent, our race is abusing the liberties which it already possesses. We sincerely believe that if all of the serious-minded and therefore really deserving Negroes of Colorado (and there are many such), would make up their minds, as an essential to self preservation and race salvation, to mercilessly condemn and constantly oppose the wanton vice and general unworthiness inherent in all of our conduct, there would be a vast improvement in the race in the next year. We have many good traits and some Negroes are doing exceptionally well, but it is the general condition to which the newspapers are calling attention. The white man is making war upon the Negro in many insidious ways, and in some instances we are losing ground, because we are unable and unfit to hold it. As the newspaper points out, it is not sufficient ground for total discouragement, that we are being deprived of guaranteed rights, for this is a world in which men and races are compelled to deserve and defend what they possess and hope to enjoy. The Negro who stops for a moment to contemplate the vast amount of earnest and determined energy which the white man is expending in Colorado to advance his standing and maintain his supremacy individually and nationally, will practically realize that the Negro has got to wake up or practically get out of Denver. The white man is not going to carry the Negro up with him. There are no indications that he takes any such charitable view of what he calls the "white man's burden." The Negro has got to "get up and hump," swim or sink. We are living too easy. We are not serious enough. Our play hours are too long, our business hours too short. We are too narrow in our vision and too wise in our ignorance. We have got to get down upon a more simple and therefore a more stable foundation. Money saving and industrial activity, clannish support of race enterprises, honest business and stern determination to promote fairness, encourage virtue and to condemn and punish vice, deprivacy, profligacy and all the weak and unworthy characteristics which we have been covering up and tolerating are imperative duties whose neglect condemns us all. How are these principles to be instilled into the minds of the people? That is a serious question. We believe it depends upon those already of a sober turn of mind. The complaints of the press or of individual can do no good unless some action is aroused. The remedy does not lie in big, showy conventions, where men display their oratory and their poverty. It is a matter for communities to take up. The sober men and women who think of these things should get together and plan. Co-operation, not in a single business effort, but in the support of enterprises already established or to be started, would be a thing worthy of long discussion and earnest trial. Educate and elevate the social and business ideas of the people, and lead and teach them by the most practical and worthy of examples. Getting Money How Bankers Now Perform Their Work By JOHN M.

TALK of a "money trust" in this country has been inspired largely by the operations of "underwriting syndicates." These groups of bankers have come to mean more and more in the financing of the country's industries. Their operations have enlarged at the same time that their co-operation with each other has become closer. Whatever may be thought of the morality of this method of financing the needs of our railroads and manufacturing enterprises, the reason for the growth of underwriting syndicates is plain. They represent the reservoirs of ready capital. To them flow thousands of streams, big and little, of money seeking safe investment. To them come the managers of business requiring millions, and the managers come to them because it is the quickest, easiest, and (sometimes) cheapest place to get money. For instance: New York's transit needs are pressing and great. Two extensive new systems of subways have been planned. Their construction and equipment will cost nearly $400,000,000. After long discussion the city officials decided that this sum should not be raised by the city itself, and so private bankers were asked to raise the money. The house of J. P. Morgan & Co. made an offer to finance one system calling for the expenditure within a few years of $170,000,000. Bonds running for fifty years and bearing interest at the rate of 5 per cent. are to be issued. J. P. Morgan & Co. are to pay the city $950 for each $1,000 bond. Because the loan would be too heavy for one house to carry, J. P. Morgan & Co. have asked other bankers to take a large part of the bonds for $960 each. A syndicate, agreeing to hold together for five years, will be formed, and its members will sell to investors the amount of bonds allotted to each as they are issued. Probably the prices received will represent a good profit for each. In no other way, say the bankers, could a project needing so much money get it promptly and on such good terms. In no other way, they say, can the millions belonging to widely scattered investors find investment. Upon the bankers falls the duty of seeing that the loan is secure. A few failures to do this, they say, would dissolve the "money trust" quicker than any moral action—and that view seems logical. Is Pity Wholly a Good Thing?

Perhaps the most marked trait of human nature in modern times, and that which distinguishes it most from human nature in ancient times, is pity. It was the main contents of the Christian religion for over a thousand years. Almost all medieval religion can be summed up in that one word, pity. The good works most emphasized consisted in giving alms to the poor. The walls of the old churches are covered with languishing saints.

Happy thought! one little interrogation point: Is pain after wholly a good thing? I am very much interested, as every good citizen must be, in promoting the adoption of uniform laws on the subject of marriage and divorce throughout the United States. The present situation is very dangerous, for persons who are legally married according to the laws of one state may find that in another state their marriage is not recognized, and the effect upon the status of children may be most disastrous. The consequence is that mistakes in this matter often fall upon persons who are entirely innocent, and great confusion is likely to exist in regard to the delicate relation of and child, while, of course, the descent of embarrassed by questions arising from the试. ent to promote an organization in the various this uniformity has been secured. strong public opinion organized, which will laws which regulate marriage and divorce, made in this direction will be successful. As far as fitting our children for business is concerned, the public schools of the United States are far inferior to those of European countries and far inferior to what they should be. They are particularly deficient in foreign language instruction. The systematic education of 90 per cent. of our public school children ends with their graduation. Commercial methods and foreign languages must be made part of the public school course.

RECIPES FOR CANAPES VARIED ASSORTMENT THAT SHOULD SUIT ALL PALATES. Chicken, of Course, Always the Most Popular, Though Anchovy, Caviar and Mayonnaise Are All Delicious—Made With Hash. Chicken Canapes.—Fry round slices of white bread, or toast them delicately, and then top each with a little minced chicken and sauted mushrooms, seasoning delicately with salt cayenne and butter. Set in the oven for five minutes and serve hot. The drumsticks of a large roast chicken and six mushrooms would make hall a dozen of these delectable blites. If the chicken is dry, mix it with a little fresh cream or olive oil. Cold Anchovy Canapes. — Pound anchovies to a smooth paste with a little butter and season with cayenne and lemon juice. Spread the paste on thin strips of hard toast about two inches wide, then sprinkle them with hard bolled egg, chopped almost to a powder. These are delicious supper bites. Caviar Canapes.—Mix caviar to a cream with lemon juice and spread on thin strips of buttered toast. Sprinkle the bread in even rows with chopped hard bolled egg and minced onion, adding a dust of salt and cayenne. Another way is put a ring of onion on the bread and then drop a slice or two of hard bolled egg inside. Mayonnaise Canapes.—Spread rounds of fried bread very thinly with anchovy paste and then cover with mayonnaise, to which have been added chopped capers, olives and onions. Serve cold, and garnish the dish with press. Hash Canapes.—Put a little ham or tongue with beef or mutton and chop almost to a paste. Add one tomato and a green pepper and season highly with cayenne; only heat the mixture thoroughly in butter if all the ingredients have hitherto been cooked, and serve on slices of hot buttered toast. Remember that any appetizing edible in the house may always be added to a meat hash, fish excerted. Ham Canapes.—Rub chopped ham to a smooth paste, moistening it with cream or melted butter. Spread the paste on small rounds of fried bread, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and cayenne or paprika, and brown in the oven. Liver Canapes.—Saute thinly sliced calf's liver in butter, not cooking it too much; season with salt and black pepper. Then fry a little thinly-sliced bacon. Put the liver, cut in narrow strips, on two-inch strips of buttered boast, then cross them with smaller strips of bacon. Add a small lump of butter to each canape, and put them in the oven for this to melt. Ornament the platter with watercress. Making Cream Puffs. Put two ounces of butter into a saucepan, add half a pint of water, bring to boiling point, add quickly half a pint of sifted flour, a pinch of salt, and one teaspoonful of sugar; stir well with a wooden spoon until the mixture leaves the sides of the pan; remove from the fire, allow to cool, but not become cold; add four eggs, beating each one thoroughly in. Put away in a cool place for one hour. Put the mixture into a forcing bag with a plain tube and force on to a baking tin into small rounds; brush over with beaten egg and bake in a hot oven for half an hour. When cold open on one side and fill them with whipped cream, sweetened and flavored to taste. Sprinkle powdered sugar over the top. Vegetable Sausage Three carrots, four onions, two parsnips, one half pint split red lentils, two eggs, one-half pound bread crumbs, sago, parsley, garlic, salt and pepper. Boll the vegetables and mash fine; cook the lentils until soft; pound them well; add to the mashed vegetables, together with a little boiled sago, chopped parsley, a small portion of finely chopped garlic, salt and pepper; mix the eggs and bread crumbs; add a portion to the other ingredients; make up into pieces about the size of ordinary sausages; roll in egg and bread crumbs; fry in boiling oil until brown. Stuffed Ham. Select a freshly cured ham and have bone removed. Fill cavity with stuffing made of bread crumbs, tie up securely and inclose ham in a paste of flour and water to keep juice from escaping. Tie in a pudding bag or cloth, have ready a pot of boiling water and let ham boll slowly about two hours. When boiled sufficiently, remove the crust, pare skin off carefully, so as not to injure the shape of the ham, put it in a roasting pan, sprinkle with bread crumbs, set in moderate oven to roast. Pineapple Sandwich. One cup of pineapple, juice and pulp, three-fourths of a cup of sugar, juice of half a lemon, lady fingers; cook the pineapple, sugar and lemon juice until thick, let it cool, spread upon the lady fingers or sponge cake. Press together in pairs. Chop the dates and preserved ginger, molsten with slurp from the ginger jar and a little lemon juice; cook with a little water or not, to a smooth paste; cool; when cold spread the mixture upon thinly sliced bread and cut in diamond shapes. 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 rheumatism. In July, 1909, I noticed that I had inflammatory rheumatism. In health I had weighed 152 pounds; I dropped to 120 pounds. After being confined to the bed for two and a half months a friend recommended Bates' Twentieth Century Wonder Powder. In the summer of 1910 I began to take it. At this time, April, 1911, I have been well and robust for five months. My appetite is good and my weight is 140 pounds and not a trace of the old trouble remains. I have taken six bottles of the Twentieth Century Wonder Powder. If you want to refer anyone to me I will gladly express the merits of this medicine. Yours truly, A. J. LYLE, Continental Building Colorado Springs, Colo. To Whom It May Concern: I have suffered with my lungs for a long time, after trying different remedies, from which I had lost flesh, and my appetite was more than bad. I tried Bates' Twentieth Century Wonder Tea, being recommended by another sufferer, and to my great happiness I am gaining in weight and my appetite has entirely returned. I feel like a new man; no more drowsy feeling and lack of ambition. How gladly can I sing the praises of Bates' Twentieth Century Tea. GUS TRAVERS, 526 E.

The passing of Bishop H. W. Warren takes away one of the pastor's strongest friends. He gave him his first appointment in the Lincoln conference and three years later ordained him elder and sent him to Seattle, Washington and since his incumbency in this city has caused him to be promoted to the district superintendency. During the first year in this city personally transferred the mortgage and helped to raise the $500 which was paid on the same. For the race he established Gammon Theological seminary through the Rev. Eligah Gammon and endowed it with $750,000. He has gone to his reward but his labors live after him. We bow our heads in humble submission to Him who does all things well. Last week we forgot to mention four other names which should have appeared on the Missionary program, which are as follows: Misses Perry and McPherson, duet, (instrumental); Miss Parker and a splendid paper by Mrs. A. T. Kerr. The choir will render a sacred concert Sunday evening. Rev. J. D. Rice will render a part on the program in the form of a short address. Come early in order to secure a comfortable seat. These musicals always attract a large and appreciative audience. Misses Perry and McPherson led the League very acceptably last Sunday evening. Miss Raglen read a very interesting paper and the Rev. Rice sang a solo to the delight of all. A Carpet committee has been organized by Miss Ross L. Rice to put in a new carpet in the church. The committee will have the carpet down by Sunday. The list is still open for new members. Something over twenty have already given in their names. Keep the good work going. Who will lead off next for improvements be fore the second quarter is held? Do not forget that the Ladies' Aid Society will serve dinner on August the 5th and render an old Folks Concert at night. The Pinks will give a five days' festival or carnival beginning August 26 and going to the 31st Mr. F. D. McPherson is the energetic captain. The sermon topic for Sunday morning will be "Motives to Christian Perseverance." Proverbs 4:18. Prof. and Mrs. Barrett were worshippers Sunday evening.

BRIGHT GLASS AND SILVER How to Care for Both With the Least Work and to Clean Them Without Injury. There is nothing that repays one more for careful washing and drying than glass. First one must have a bowl of warm water softened with dissolved soap, which makes a very good lather. Too hot water should not be used, as it might crack the glass. Have a bowl of clean water to rinse the glass in after washing it and if a very fine polish be desired on it have a third bowl of cold water with a little ammonia in it. Wash each article separately, rinse it well and dry with a soft glass cloth, which should be made of linen or little, fluffy particles will stick to the glass and spoll the appearance. When it is washed and dried polish with a leather kept for the glass or with a silk handkerchief or with some soft tissue paper. How to Clean Silver—Have an aluminum pan containing about two gallons of cold water. In this dissolve a piece of washing soda about the size of an egg and heat the solution to boiling point. Drop into this the silver to be cleaned, taking care to keep the whole at boiling point. Let the silver soak for three or four minutes. Lift out with a wire spoon or long-handled fork, wash in hot soap suds and wipe quickly with a perfectly dry towel. The pieces so cleaned will be as highly polished as when new. This process will neither injure plated or solid ware. When all the silver is finished, if there are any pieces that do not look white and clear, rub them with a little dry whiting and a dry duster, then polish off with a soft, dry cloth. ALL AROUND the HOUSE To clean a copper kettle rub its surface with lemon skin and salt. Wipe the surface quickly and rub with a dry chamois skin. Windows become dimmed quickly where soft coal is used as fuel. A good way to clean them is to rub alcohol and polish with cheesecloth. Coffee stains, even when cream has been put in the coffee, may be removed from the table linen by rubbing the spots with pure glycerin. Rinse afterward in lukewarm water. Leather can be cleaned very well with milk. Dust the leather thoroughly with a soft cloth, then use another cloth dipped in sweet milk and the spots will be easily removed. In turning out jellies, etc., from molds, wet with cold water the dish on which the jelly is to be placed; then the jelly will very easily slip out of the mold to the center of the dish. When Food Burns. "With too many irons in the fire some will burn." This old adage often proves too true to the busy housewife. She has forgotten to add water to the cooking food, and the odor of the burning meat, vegetable or fruit reminds her of the fact. When this happens, quickly seize the pot from the range and immerse it in a vessel containing cold water. The steam will escape from the outside instead of passing upward through the food. Place the food in another pan and continue cooking or dress to serve. The most critical person cannot detect a burnt taste in the food. This is a suggestion worth trying. Planking a Fish One shad, with backbone removed; a few drops of onion juice, four heaping teaspoonfuls of butter, three tablespoonfuls of finely chopped parsley, one level tablespoonful of salt, a few grains of red pepper, two tablespoonfuls of tomato catup, a few slices of lemon. Wipe the shad; place skin side down on hot oak plank; sprinkle with salt and red pepper; spread with butter; cook in hot oven for half an hour; spread with the chopped parsley and tomato catup; grinish with seasoned hot mashed potatoes, pressed through a forcing bag and tube; also lemons, cut in shape of crescents and dipped in chopped parsley, and sprigs of parsley. To Keep Flat Irons From Busting. To keep flatirons from rusting when exposed to dampness, melt paraffin to the depth of half an inch in pans large enough to hold two or more irons. Wait until it is nearly cold and then put the irons in. In that way they will not sink to the bottom of the pan. Irons treated in this manner have not rusted when left six months in a closed house. In case you have no paraffin, greasing the irons thickly and wrapping them in newspapers will serve the same purpose. Dutch Toast. To make Dutch toast, says an exchange, take slices of very stale or hard bread and toast the same in the oven until brown. Dip the slices in boiling water and set in the oven again until as crisp as desired. Inexpensive Mattress Covering. The inexpensive spring beds have no covers and often disfigure the mattress by streaks of rust. A cover of heavy, unbleached cloth, made large enough to tie down at sides and corners will save the mattress. ANNOUNCEMENT 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. Theré 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 Doing Good by the Way. I expect to pass through this life but once. If, therefore, there is any kindness I can show, or any good I can do to any fellow being, let me do it now, let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again. —Mrs. A. B. Hegeman.

"Well, father," replied the wise daughter, "late hours may be bad for one, but they're all right for two."-Yonkers Statesman. Longevity in French Villages. Longevity in French Villages. A remarkable record of longevity is to be found in some of the rural parishes of France. In the village of St. Thomas de la Fliche there have been only fourteen parish priests in three hundred years, the fourteenth being still in possession. The parish of St. Germain du Val, in Paris, has had only three pastors in one hundred years, while that of Glivy en Argonne has had but five in 130 years. Deserving of Sympathy. "I am the mother of 21 children," declared a woman at Tower Bridge police court, who was alleged to be an habitual drunkard, "and I have always made my children's clothes, mended their boots, and cut their hair." "We all sympathize with you," remarked the magistrate, Mr. Cecil Chapman.—London Dail Mall. Unfair.

Prudence is a thing that generally comes to a man after he gets too old to need it. Curious Result of Adder's Fite. As the result of an adder bite, recently, the back of the hand of a Cardiff (Wales) boy named J. W. Coffy has become marked like an adder. The physician who is attending the case states that the skin and swollen flesh near the bite are like a piece of leather, pigmented exactly the same as an adder, the white streak or ring running round the dark mottled ground. Dick Turpin Platol Found. In the removal of a plaster ceiling and oak panelling of the Jacobaean room in the famous Reindeer inn at Banbury, England, which has been bought by Lord Curzon of Kedleston, workmen found in the rafters a double flintlock horse pistol inlaid with gold, inscribed, "Presented to Dick Turpin at the White Bear Inn, Drury Lane, February 7, 1735."

BELL, PINE BLUFF, ee sent te - alee tt ae a Ae eaten eae concerning the negro any more than that which relates to any other race; that the application of the “golden rule” will destroy it; that if he ts given a square deal in the struggle of life and let alone, that he will solve it. Some advance the idea that wealth and education are the most potent fac- tors and essential requisites necessary for its solution. But the one idea which attracts more attention than all the others combined is the Industrial edu- cation which makes him “a better hewer of wood and a better drawer of water,” and chooses for him the south in preference to all the other countries Of the earth. For 45 years past, more or less, these various proposi- tions have been before the American people and the other civilized nations of the earth, and it is strange to say, yet ‘tis true, that they are as far from the solution of this problem as they were when it first began. There are many elemenfs in the formation of this all absorbing proposition which have never been discussed In the pub- lic forum heretofore. We therefore admit the existence of this problem, which began as we understand it from the flood and has continued from that period until the present day. When Nimrod sought to be independent of God and conceived within his fertile imagination the building of a tower broad enough and high enough to over- come every known obstacle to his am- bition, a shadow indicative of his aw- ful sin and disobedience was reflected and indelibly imprinted upon the mind and conscience of the world. Pause & moment and look with me down through the archives of the ages and there we behold the relics of God's awful wrath lying in the valleys, upon the plains and upon the highest moun- tains, The carcasses of those God had 80 recently destroyed by the flood can be plainly seen and the stench of their decay Is still fresh in the nos- trils of Nimrod, the great-grandson of Noah and the grandson of Ham and the son of Cush, the first born of Ham instead of becoming awed and im- pressed as he gazed upon these great and mighty deeds of God, his indig- nation was fired to a burning desire to be revenged on God. He therefore planned to build a tower with a base deeply riveted in the bowels of the earth and its topmost parts reaching the heavens. At this particular pe- riod there was no division in the family of Noah. Nimrod then was the ruler of all the inhabitants of the earth, He undertook the most gigan- tle and herole scheme that has ever entered the brain of mankind. God only could comprehend and overthrow hig flagrant and contemp- tible scheme,. There never has exist- ed in the history of all the world since that eventful time such unity of mind and purpose 4s was concocted and cemented into a people as was match- Jessly manifested by this wonderful and mighty one before the Lord. Be- hold his audacity! After God had confused their languages, overthrow- ing and checking the building of the Tower of Babel, Nimrod remained there and organized the first govern- ment upon the face of the earth aft- er the flood. He planned and built the first Great City of Babylon and handed down the plans that enabled Asshur, the son of Shem, to build Nin- eveh on the River Tigris. How long he reigned and when he died we have no history, Centuries must have elapsed before the all conquering and haughty Hamatic family marched west- ward over the plains of Shinor and planting their great cities of Sidon, Sodom and Gomorrah upon the west bank of the Mediterranean sea. It was from these centers that Europe, Asia and Africa were colonized. It was here that the world learned its first lessons in ship-building and com- mercial enterprise. Here the Phoent- clans, the Canaanites, the Philistines, constituting three branches of the Homitiec family, conducted and carried on the most prosperous commercial supremacy that the world -had ever seen. They held the keys of com- merce with the whole world! Should any one ask what the negroes have done in history answer them by point- ing to these achievements. If they are still ignorant of the facts, call thelr attention to Misraine, the second son of Ham, who was the founder of Egypt, and whose name means Egypt. He with his sons, Pathrusim, Lu- dim and Lehabim, migrated from Asia and settled, colonized and founded the garden spot of the earth, He was soon followed by Cush and Phut, the first and third sons of Ham. It was here in this rich and fertile country all the inventions and scientific dis- coverles were born! It is here we find the greatest wonders of the world! It was here that the world’s greatest leader was reared and educated, Here God manifested bimself to the Hamit- fe family in a most practical manner of gold, he refused from time to time to accept God's messengers, who tried to teach them revealed religion. They were stiftnecked and belleved only In natural causations and that there was no God. If the Negro, after reviewing his conduct in ancient days, can catch a ray of hope, in which he fs justified in drawing the inference from the mem- orable statement, “That before the end of time Ethopia shall stretch forth her hands unto God,” to mean that special favors are to be granted unto him, without special efforts upon his part to merit them, there is no posst- bility for him {n attaining them. If we can properly sum up his deeds as we have shown in his most active part played in building the Tower of Babel; his attempt to be revenged upon God, his maker, and his gross and beastly immorality; his utter and totai neg- lect and forgetfulness of God; his highhanded and most wicked state- ment that there is no God, that all things exist from natural laws that spring up spontaneously without a God to govern and direct them; his rejection of Abraham, when God sent him among them to teach these world ly and most prosperous people the most skilled and the most powerful forces of men, who had demonstrated in every respect all that human {n- genuity, backed by its most potent factor, wealth, revealed religion! He marshaled all his forces both in Africa and Asfa Minor and fought daily against the God of Israel; God overthrew the Negro king and drown- ed him with his host within the Red sea. He made David to kill the brazen and stubborn Negro Philistine, Goliath. God ordered every Negro killed who was found in the Promised Land. And those in Africa he over- threw and drove them from power; from all their beautiful cttles, their wonderful pyramids, into the jungle of Africa and gaye his inventions, skilled acts into the hands of others who at least acknowledged the exis- tence of a God. The real, certain and comprehensive meaning of Ethiopia ‘stretching forth her hands unto God may be summed up after this manner; I have tried you and you have abso- lutely rejected me, I shall sell you into strange lands, I shall heap bur- dens upon you and sting you with the Jash of persecution until you can see the error of your wickedness and call upon me. When you do this I will harken unto you and try you once more. The Spanish, the Dutch and Portuguese, in fact every civilized na- tfon upon the earth, were given a large bunch of the Negroes of Africa, and history shows the most cruel treatment given unto them until they submitted and cried unto God. In proportion to their maving into the glorious sunlight of Christianity their yoke was taken from thelr necks, Though they had been working the soll, fountains of knowledge were opened and the streams thereof were sent by every Negro’s door, The coun- try was stocked with preachers and teachers of the Negro race. An in- dustrial wave has swept over the race and has created the deepest interest. He is truly becoming skilled in all the arts and sciences that his anctent an- cestors handed down in thelr early sa. premacy through Greece and Rome to the world. In order that the Negro might learn and imbibe the elements of self-sacrifice and the missionary working spirit, God ralsed up in his midst such characters as Abraham Lincoln, Lovejoy, Harriett Beecher Stowe and Frederick Douglas, who were used as instruments of God to fire the heart and mind of all nations against over-enslavement, We have been given marching orders according to the light and reason ef Christian obligations to carry the gospel train- ing, together with our knowledge man- Ipulating the soil, over which we had roamed and more than two hundred million are now roaming, stumbling over gold and diamonds and plucking berries and other natural products from the bushes of the forest like so many wild beasts without knowing their value. Are we so blind to rea- son that we cannot see that history repeats itself? Let us at this mo- ment compare God’s dealing with the Jews, a people who have more than any other race been wrapped up in history since the flood. The world owes all of {ts substantial structures in civic pride and commercial prowess to the Jew and the Negro. It took the Negroes four hundred years to educate the Jews in order to teach them to make brick without straw; to learn and to become skilled in pottery, wood and fron. They knew absolutely, nothing of these things, for they were a nomadic people living in tents be- fore they were sent to Egypt. The Negroes had fallen into that same con- dition before they were taken from. grapple with the great problems vu» fighting and building up the country which God had given them. The bones of all those old grabbers after thy gold and silver which here represent? the golden calf are left in the desert. There are those among us who seem to be selected by our old task masters to persuade us to believe that we can find no other place upon the face of the earth more or better sulted for us than our old land of bondage. These so-called leaders walk out or ride around in palace cars and lo! they see our brethren shot down, lynched and burned at the stake. Our women mur- dered and insulted and unltke Moses they are conspicuously silent. Such would-be leaders advise us to obey and love our old task master,’ to drop all political rights, do not bother with commercialism, to let law, medicine and all the professions alone, but point with pride to southern flelds, where live our “best friends,” who on the slightest provocation show their friendship by giving “necktle parties.” ‘The southern Negroes as well as the ex-slaves in other parts of the world have become infected with the gezms of selfishness and greed. Having been reared in an atmosphere every atom of which 4s filled with submission, op- pression, persecution and all the at- tributes of citizenship and the same deleterious and baneful elements are handed down and freely imbibed by their children. ‘Though educated and that under a low pressure standard within such an atmosphere, how can we expect to produce strong men and women possessing the true requisites of manhood and womanhood? Just as {t Is Impossible to rear a strong and healthy child in a loathsome and dirty, foul atmosphere, which will impover- ish and weaken every cell and ‘tissue in the child’s mechanism, so {t must be with those who are forced to live under menial and oppressive condi- tions. Like the Jews, the Negroes are not gratefuleto God and the friends who alded him in gaining his freedom from bondage. What he has gathered in art and science from his neighbors, the Negroes seek to bury {t again in the flesh pots of slavery. He ts again forgetting God and {s run ning after and building up the golden calf. This 1s the same spirit he im- bibed from his old master, HOLES IN MACARONI DEVICE BY WH!CH THE HOLLOW STRIPS OF DOUGH ARE PRODUCED, Haven't you often asked, “How do they get the holes in macaroni?” Yes, you undoubtedly have, and unless you have visited a macaroni factory you are probably still in doubt. Interest- ing methods are employed in brine: ing this food into the form in which it is placed before the public. After the dough has been well mixed and kneaded in a powerful machine It is ready to form Into macaroni, which is of a tube shape about one-fourth inch In diameter, or spaghett!, which is a solid shape of about one- eighth inch in diameter. ‘This !s done by forcing the dough under hydraulic pressure through a cylinder with a flat circular bronze die or mold at the bot- tom. The macaroni die fs full of holes about one-fourth inch tn diameter, and each hole has a small pin in the center of it, which 1s attached to one side of the hole. This pin forms the hole {mt the macaroni and divides the dough on one side as {t starts through the hole, but before the dough reaches the end of the hole the divided side comes together and remains so, making a per- fect tube. The spaghetti die contains only plain holes about one-elghth inch in diameter arranged in groups. When macaroni and spaghett! come from the presses or cylinders they are cut into certain lengths, the length depending upon whether the curing or drying 18 to be done on trays or by hanging over rods. re In curing or drying macaroni the length of time varies according to the Process employed and to atmospheric conditions outside the factory and the standard of quality maintained. Some makers require only three days, while others take as many as six days— Omaha:-Ree. THE DOCTOR'S FEE. There came a letup In the rush of pa- tients, and the doctor opened two small enyelopes lying on his desk. “It's all right,” he said. “I wasn't sure, Without offending I coudin’t ‘open the envelopes in the presence of the persons who gave them to me. They contain the fees left by two Englishmen who called close on each other's heels. English etiquette ig rather embarrassing for a physician who {fs used to patients who hand over their money with the denomina- tion right on top, American fashion. In England {t would be considered an Insult to give a physician his fee un- wrapped, You can't insult an Amert- can physician that way, but neweom- ers credit him with an excess of sen- sibility and give him a good many un- easy moments wondering {f he hasn't been underpaid.”"—New York Sun.

BRUCE GIVES STATISTICS ITIES FOR EDUCATION VERY Goop. Washington, D. C.—In presenting diplomas to the graduates of the Arm- strong Manual Training school at Howard theater, Roscoe Conkling Bruce, assistant superintendent of public ‘schools, said in part: “I appreciate the honor which has been extended to me by the principal and faculty of the Armstrong school. The privilege of presenting the <iplo- mas to this rare group of young men and women {s one which would appeal to the least imaginative of men. 1 think of the ambitions of mothers and fathers that are realized today. 1 think of the struggles and sacrifices these faithful men and women have made to give their boys and girls the opportunities of an education pro longed through twelve or thirteen years. I think of the moral and in: tellectual victories which these young men and women have won over dis- tractions of a thousand names and over the arduous tasks of school life. I think of their enduring effort and patience and determination. 1 think of the happy, serviceable lives they will lead fn this and other commun: tles. I think of the inestimable power for refinement and for social uplift which they will exert wherever thelr lots may be cast In the difficult years that are to come—t rejoice and am exceedingly glad. “But 1 should do injustice to the significance of this occasion did I not mention the larger problem in which the endeavors of the Armstrong school are involved. In those cities and states where separate schools for our youth are maintained what progress has been made in extending high school opportunities? How do the facilities which exist here at the cap- {tal of the nation compare with those in other localities? Is there anything In the local situation which bids us take heed that substantial improve ment may result? At these questions on this day of rejotcing we shall do well to glance. “My firat question relates to the enlargement of facilities for secon. dary education in those communities where separate colored high schools are maintained. In 1880 there were 26 public high schools for colored youth in the southern states, with 5.237 students; in 1890, 63, with 11.480 students, and in 1901, 100, with 12,202 students, “In 1910 there were 142 public high schools for negro youth in America. These schools were scattered in 21 states and the District of Columbia; they enrolled 8,973 students, of whom 32_per cent. were boys. From 1880 to 1910—a perfod of \only 30 years—the number of high schools grew from 86 to 142—an Increase of 294 per cent., and the number of stu- dents from 5,237 to 8.973, an increase of 71 per cent. Truly these facts re- flect great credit not only upon the states and cities which made {t pos- sible, but also upon this great demo- cratic nation, “These young men and women be- fore us are especially to be congratu- lated upon the fact that they have some reasonable conception of the life careers upon which they are to enter; they have enjoyed some prelim- inary training for those careers. The most eminent of American educators has recently remarked: ‘In secondary education the high schools of com- merce and mechanic arts have a de- cided advantage as regards motive power within the pupils over ord!- nary high schools. A pupil in a commercial high school or a mechanic arts high school has made a primary decision with regard to his life ca- reer; he has determined the first dl- rection of his preparatory work, al- though later he may come to branch- ings of the way where a new dect- elsion will be needed.’ You are to be congratulated upon that primary de- cision. “Some of you will immediately en- ter upon the business of earning a livelihood. Prove worthy of your edu- cation and training, prove true sons and daughters of the Armstrong school. Armstrong will remember you, will encourage you, will be proud of you.” | WALNUTS FROM FRANCE. The best walnuts in the world—at least they have that reputation—are those growing around Grenoble, France, and a singular fact about them {s that at least three-quarters of the entire production are transported across the ocean to be eaten in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago and other large American cities. The calcareous soil of southeastern France appears to be particularly favorable to the walnut, On the rising land at the base of the French Alps the nut trees often form yerltable cultivated for- ests. Tho finest variety, the ‘“may- ette,” has a lght-colored shell and a broad, flat base, on which it readily stands upright, THE SOIL AND MAN. ‘The Kansas Farmer says: “Aside from the vicissitudes of the weather, practically all of the misfortunes that come to the farmer or his farm can be traced to the haste to secure the present dollar without providing for the future good of his soil.

DENVER, COLO, AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS ference on the Negro, as published in ‘The Southern Workman for June, was ‘that on “Education and Racial Traits,” by Mr. William I. Thomas, professor of soctology in the University of Chicago. Prof. Thomas takes no stock in race superiority or inherent intelligence as an inheritance. The children of every race have to be taught all that their fathers knew, and any break in the education from sire to son starts the child back trom the highest to the lowest point of cultural education and refinement. That 1s to say, education and culture are not transmissible, as an inheritance, from the father to the son. These are locked up in the son, and require the same long cultural process to unlock them as was re- duired in the case of the father. ‘The same theory holds in the case of en- vironment and social status; these must be continued unbroken from father to son or relapse is reasonably certain. Talking about handicaps to individual success or unsuccess, Prof. Thomas says: It may naturally oc- cur to some of you that race prejudice is the most serious and oppressive form of isolation and cause of mental backwardness in the case of the Ne- gro, and I am certainly not inclined to make light of prejudice. At the same time 1 do not regard it as a profound- ly serlous matter. It 1s something you can get by—it may even be a Stimulation. Compared with slavery or serfdom, it is trivial. I am now making some studies among the Slavic peasants of Europe, for the peasant was and is mentally as back- ward as the Negro is or as he was in slavery. I have found even more backward cases. But’ my main rea- son for speaking Hghtly of prejudice is that it does not successfully isolate One of the gentlemen from Jamaica who excited your interest here by his mental poise and the nimbleness of his wits confessed that he had studied in some of the most {mportant centers of learning in the world. The point worth emphasizing 1s that race pre judice as “the most serfous and op- pressive form of isolation,” need not be a drawback but may be made a “stimulation” to mental, physical and material development and growth. The imitator of anything is not the origina- tor of the thing, and that which may be good for the originator of it may be destructive for the originator of it. Mr. F. G. Peck, in the same number of the Workman, talkmg about “Conser- vation for the Indians,” says that the difference between the Negro and In- dian is that the Indlan has retained his mental attitudes, his social isola- tion and his manhood independence, vefusing to relinquish his own for those of the white man, and is the stronger for doing so; while “the un- enviable present social position of the Negro masses is undeniably partly due to the way in which they have faithfully allowed their native origin- ality to become annihilated. . . . Sure- ly the experiment in mild submission has not proved an advantage to the Negro, so far as his social rank is concerned;” while in the same issue, talking about “Education Among the Bantu of Southeast Africa,” Mr. Mau- rice 8. Evans of the African Soclety of London, takes the same view of the matter as Mr. Peck does. He says: It seems to.me that in breaking down this life we, the Europeans of South Africa, are placed in a position of re: sponsibility we must whole heartedly accept. To leave the native subject to the corrupting influences of our civilization in his present unprepared state, 1s to leave the door open to disaster for him and for us. And if for no other reason than to act as a counterpoise for this destructive pro- cess now going on, {t 1s imperative that some influence for good should be brought to bear upon him. To go back to the old life is Impossible, the new 1s full of danger to a race so unprepared for change; the Europeans: of South Africa are responsible for this and it 1s our palpable duty to take steps to minimize or remove the danger and give the native guidance and opportunity for a higher and bet- ter life. And I must confess, the only method I can sée 1s education in its broadest sense, which includes moral and religious instruction. It 1s proble- matical, however, if the broadest Eng- Msh education will ever make out of the Bantu as good and strong a people as would haye cultural education of him along Bantu lines. He was a stm- ple pastoral people, and education along his lines of thought and habits made him a strong African Bantu and not a weak English Bantu, think- ing in Bantu and talking and working in English, as many American Ne- groes do even now, some centuries re- moved from their African habitat, lan- guage and religion. Far from allow- {ng raco prejudice and segregation to affect them disastrously, American Ne- groes should make them serve as op- Pe Me ee ee ge It thought photography ever be- ‘comes practical the world will learn some astonishing secrets, Indicative of the south’s industrial awakening we must consider the {m- provement in southern stock raising; for the stock raising spirit 1s spread- ing over the south, In Mississippi alone we find four cattle breeders’ as- soclations, Almost every breed of sheep is tried in the south today. Within the last decade hog raising in the south has been revolutionized. A few years ago one could hardly see anything but unmitigated “Razor- back.” The best that could be look- ed for was a little group of grades. But now this 1s all changing, the south {s supplanting the ‘“razor- backs” with thoroughbred hogs, such as the Essex and the Berkshire. Not only has the south awakened in the matter of stock raising, but she is becoming just as active in fruit growing. Within my own memory the south has become the fruft mar- ket for the whole country, instead of as formerly, importing fruit from the north. | Neither 1s the south asleep in re- gard to her opportunities and possi- bilities In vegetables. ‘Truck garden- ing has been given great attention In the south within the last few years. All along the coast from Norfolk to Galveston, trains and streams are well laden for months each year with early vegetables. Having briefly considered the awak- enin gin regard to the stock, fruit and vegetable raising in particular; and agriculture in general, I pass to an- other phase, and note the south’s awakening with reference to her min- eral resources, of which coal and fron are among those of first importance. Extensive coal and iron mining opera- tions are of comparative recent ori- gin, yet it is in the south that the most rapid progress in opening of new mines is being made today. She has doubled her coal output in the last few years. Alabama mines nearly as much coal today as the en- tre south did in 1885. History _no- where records such stupendous In- crease as we see going on in the southern mining today. Another phase of this awakening is that of manufacturing. For years the south regarded cotton seeds a nuis: ance, and dumped them into the river in order to get rid of them, but she has long since awakened to the full knowledge of the importance of cot- ton seed. Today there is a great de- mand for all cotton seed that can be produced. Having learned the econom- ic value of these seeds, the south is now extracting millions of gallons of oil, and using the restdue as food for ‘stock and as fertilizers to enrich the ‘soil, | Her 85 Ice factories, 125 foundries ‘and machine shops, I Bessemer ‘Steel rail mill, 40 miscellaneous iron ‘works, 30 stove foundries, 5 gas works, 80 agricultural implement fac- ‘tories, 40 cotton mills, 60 furniture factories, 90 tobacco factories, 100 flour mills and 600 lumber mills are incontrovertible evidence of the south’s industrial awakening. Although the south’s recent activl- ty in productive industries has at- tracted world-wide attention, not less so has her industrial awakening in the building of railroads, which may be seen and heard in “the flerce mete- oric of thunderous and clattering rail- road trains” sweeping through the length and breadth of the southland, and exclaiming to northern travelers that the south, the industrial “Rip Van Winkle” of this nation, has awakened from a long, long Indus- trial slumber, and today 1s delving in the depths of the earth, in quest of hidden coal and tron, multiplying fur- nace blasts in fron and steel factories, developing natural resources, con- verting forests into fertile fields, re- claiming waste lands, stretching bet- ter highways over the surface of the south, and causing a wilderness to blossom as a rose. The colored natives of some parts of Georgia are considerably agitated over a prophecy recently uttered by a new-born babe. The prophecy fore- told the death of the babe, which was to happen and did happen in four days thereafter, and the death of the mother, which was to occur and did occur in four weeks; and the end of the world, which {s to occur in No- vember! And {t is this latter part that is sorely troubling the colored folks. Whether this old world ts really going to come to an end in November remains to be seen, but the thing that worrles us {s not that ft 1s coming to an end, but in the words of the old preacher, “My God, which end?’—"Old Hickory.” We can't all raise white potatoes, but most of us can and do eat them. It 1s interesting to know that the American negroes have a “Potato King” of thelr own, and a real good looking one. His name is J, G. Groves, and he lives at Edwardsville, Kan, He raises 75,900 bushels a year. We have found, too, that St is easler to buy potatoes at so much per than to raise them. It is easier to buy any- thing, if yor have the price, than to raise it. THE AGRICULTURAL LABORER IN ITALY AND HUNGARY laborer in Italy and Hungary. While the situation of the farm hands in Hungary differs from that of the farm hands fn Italy in many ways, there are two important respects in which the situation of each 1s the fame: First, a large part of the land of both countries is held in large es- tates; second, farm laborers, as a rule, particularly in Hungary, do not live, as is the case in America, on the land. On the contrary, they dwell apart in villages, so that they are hardly any more attached to the soll they cultivate than the factory hand Is a’tached to the factory in which he ls employed. In Hungary, for exam- ple, it 1s the custom for a group of laborers to enter into a contract with the land owner during the summer to harvest his crop in the fall. A con- tractor, who either represents or em- ploys a farm hand, will look over the field and bargain with the owner to flo the harvest work for a certain per cent. of the crop. At the harvest time, the contractor arrives with his laborers, just as he would come with a gang of men to build a house or dig a ditch, While the work is going on, the laborers, men and women togeth- er, practically camp in the . fields, sleeping sometimes in the open fields, or in such scant shelter as they are able to find. It happened that 1 was in Hungary at the harvest time and, in the course of my journey through the country, I had several times seen these gangs of men and women going to thelr work at daybreak. In this part of the coun- try, the strangest costumes are worn by these peasant people, and the wom- en, especially, with their bright ker- chiefs over their heads, their short skirts and high boots, when they are not barefooted, were quite as pictur- esque as anything I had read had led he to expect. The fleld hands go to work at early dawn during the har- vest season. They work sometimes fas much as 16 to 18 hours a day, I have been told, and then throw them- selves down to rest for the night on a truss of straw or under a single blanket. After the harvest is over they return again to their villages. Working in this way, in troops of wandering laborers, there was no room for any permanent relationships between themselves and their em- ployers; such relationships, for ex- ample, as exist In spite of the differ- ence of race and color, between every white planter in the south and his negro tenants. On the other band, the hand, the laborers, working and living together in the way I have de- scribed, come to have a strong sense of thelr common interest, all. the more,, perhaps, because they are look- ed down upon by the rest of the pop: ulation, and partfcularly by the small land owners, with whom they had heen associated up to the time of thelr emancipation in 1848. About 1890, a serles of bad harvests, coming on the heels of other changes which, for a number of years, had made their lives steadily harder, he'p- ed to increase the discontent of the agricultural laborers. ‘Thus {t was that when, about this time, the so- cfalists turned their attention to the agricultural population of Hungary they found the people prepared to lis: ten to their doctrine. What made socialism the more popular among the lowest farming classes was the fact that it not only promised to teach the farm laborers tow they might increase their wages, but declared that the etate was going to take up the land out of the hands of the large land owners and divide {t among the people who cultivated it. What made the situation the more difficult was the fact that, as soon as they were thoroughly organized, the agricultural laborers had the land- owners, during the harvest time, at pecullar disadvantage because when work in the fields stopped, the stand. ing grain ripened and spoiled and the landowner was ruined. In the emergency created by these strikes, the government came to the rescue of the landowner by establish. ing recruiting stations for farm la- borers in different parts of the coun try. Collecting laborers In those parts of the country where labor was abun- dant, they shipped them to other parts of the country where, because of the strikes, laborers were scarce and crops were in danger. ‘Thus the gov- ernment had at one time a reserve force of not less than 10,000 strike breakers with which it was at any mo. ment able to come to the rescue of a landowner who was threatened. One effect of these disturbances was to greatly increase the amount of em- igration to America. In 1904 when the struggle was at its height, no less than 200,000 persons, mostly from the country districts, emigrated from Hun- gary. Thousands of others left the country and moved Into the cltles. en the monotony of the agricultural laborer's life and strengthen the tles between the laborers and employers. At the suggestion of the minister of agriculture an attempt was made to revive the harvest least which brought the farmer and his laborer together, working men’s clubs, I- braries, friendly and co-operative s0- cteties were encouraged by the gov- ernment. A popular weekly paper, printed in seven different languages was started for the benefit of agricul- tural laborers and as a means of ag- ricultural education. A bill for life insurance against accidents and old age for the benefit of agricultural la- borers provided that {f a laborer loses more than a week's time, he shall re- ceive in addition to the expenses of doctor and medicine, a sum amount. ing to about 25 cents a day for 60 days. In case of death of an agri- culfural laborer, his family recefyes a sum amounting to something between $40 and $50. «In Italy, the soctallatic movement famong the agricultural classes has taken a somewhat different course. For one thing, it was not confined merely to the poorest class, namely, those laborers who live in the vil lages and go out at certain seasons to assist in the work on the farms, but extend to the small proprietors also and those who rented land. In many cases, the large estates In Italy are not managed as in Hungary by the Proprietor, but by middlemen and overseers, who pay a certain amount of rent to the proprietor and then sub- let to tenants. Sometimes, particular- ly 4n southern Italy, lands are sublet again a second and third time. In many cases, the terms upon which the land was held and worked by the small farmer were terribly op- pressive, even in northern Italy, where conditions are sald to be incompara- bly better than in the south. Although the peasants in northern Italy were normally given their free- dom in 1973, their condition, until a few years ago, has been describel by one who was himself a large land proprietor as, “a little better than if they were slaves.” In addition to the high rents, the tennant former was compelled to furnish the overseer with a certain number of chickens and eggs, and certain amount of peaches, nuts, figs, hemp. and flax, in proportion to the amount of land he rented ‘The overseer claimed, also, just as the overlord did in the days of feudal- ism, the rights to the labor of the peasant and his ox cart for a certain part of every year. His children were expected to work as servants in bis household at a nominal price. The overseer sold the crop of the tenant farmer, and, after deducting all that Was coming to him, for rent and other charges, returned the remainder to the tonant farmer as his share of the year’s work, Tm one case where, a5 a result of the revolt of his tenants, the middle man was driver out, the tenant farm- er, under the direction of the socialist leaders, undertook to rent the land directly from the landowners. It was found that the mfddle man had been appropriating not less than 45 per cent. of the profits, which, under the new arrangement went directly Into the hands of the man who tilled the soil. In recent years, co-operative organ: {zation of all kinds haye multiplies among the small farmers of northern Italy. There are societies for pur- chasing supplies as well as for dis- posing of the products of the small farmers; the most tmportant of these societies have been, perhaps. the co- operative credit organizations, by means of which the small landowners have been able to escape the burden of the heavy Interest charges they were formerly compelled to pay. ‘There 1s much in the history of the agricultural laborers of Hungary and Italy that is interesting to any one who has studied the condition of the negro farm laborer in the south. In many respects their history has been the same. There is, however, this difference, when the serfs were freed in Hungary, as {n most other parts of Europe, provision was made to give them land, though to a very large ex- tent they were denied the political privileges enjoyed by the upper classes. In Italy also {t was intend e@, In giving the serfs freedom and |again when the vast estates of the chureh were taken over by the states, to create a large class of small own- ers and to give them land to the peo- ple who tilled it. In both cases, however, {t was but a few years before the greater por- tlon of the peasant owners were wiped out and their lands had been absorbed into the large estates, At ihe present time, the small land own- PRESS 5s tS Shai iat se ea Regro in America, has served to com firm an opinion I have long held, namely, that it {s very hard for man to keep anything that he has not earned or does not know how to use, and, in most cases, the best way and, in fact, the only way, to insure any People in the possession elther of property or political privileges, is to fit them by education to use these gifts for their own good and for the highest good of the community in which they live. The “Mississipp! scheme” was one of the famous get-rich-quick bubbles in the world's history. Thousands of people in France were swept to ruin in ft, and the infant King’s reign in its early years was practically dis- credited by it. This pioneer of get-rich-quick schemes was the work of John Law, ‘a notorious promoter of financial bub- bles and frenzied financier of the pe- riod when Louls XV. ascended the throne of France in 1715, at the age of five years, under the regency of Philip, duke of Orleans. At thirteen the little king was declared of age. Law was the son of a goldsmith of Edinburgh and early turned his atten- tion to the question of public finances, always leaning toward the spectacu- lar, Presently he came to be known as a skillful gambler and juggler of finances. He was finally forced to quit England for the killing of an an- tagonist in a duel, going to the conti- nent, where he lived by his wits as a professional gambler until in 1716, when he landed in Paris. He soon ingratiated himself with the regent, the Duke of Orieans, who authorized him to establish a sort of government bank and appointed him to the man- agement of It. Soon afterward Law created the Mississipp! company, a monumental scheme for the payment of the en- tire national debt and the enrichment of every person in France who chose to subscribe for it. The promoter ob- tained for his gilded enterprise a water tight monopoly of the entire trade of France from the Cape of Good Hope eastward to sll the other parts of Africa, to Persia, India, China, Japan, and even to the strait of Magellan. The French people took to Law's ‘frgnzied scheme with a rush. They ‘put into it every penny they could beg, ‘borrow or steal. But one day the bub- ‘ble was pricked and every investor in it went to sudden and complete ruin. ‘Thousands of families that had been rated as wealthy found themselves paupers in an hour. Law fled with all France bowling maledictions at his luckless heels. He became a wan- dering vagrant and died a few years later in Venice, CURIOUS CONTRASTS AUTHORS WHOSE WRITINGS AND METHODS OF LIFE WERE ‘CONTRADICTORY. A man of genius when he writes a book and “all the god comes rushing into his soul’ is in an abnormal state and hence lives of men of letters have often been in glaring contrast to their writings. Motitaigne tells us that he always observed supercelest{ial opin- ions to be accompanied with subterra- nean morals. On the other hand, the most latitudinarian professors of epi- cureanism have often lived like an- chorites or trappists. Some of the best sea songs have been written by men who never snuffed a salt water breeze, stirring war songs have ben written by timfd men and women who would have shrieked at the sight of a mouse, and hymns steeped in the ver7 spirit of devotion bave been written by men of doubtful morality, who were never less at home than in a Christian church, Charles Lamb was ready to wager that Milton’s morning hymn in Paradise was penned at mid- night, and we know positively that ‘Thompson. who sang the praises of early rising in the “Seasons,” used to lie abed til! noon. Sir Richard Steele could discourse eloquently on temper- ance when he was not drink. Wood- worth in his “Old Oaken Bucket” sang the praises of cold water under the in- spiration of brandy. Dr. Johnson, who wrote so well on politeness, inter- rupted bis opponents with “You Ie, sir!” “You are a vile Whig, sir!” Burns was a compound of “dirt and deity.” Rousseau, who was always filling people's eyes with tears, be- trayed and slandered his benefactors fn turn and sent his children to the foundlings’ hospital. When Moore pro- posed to Sot to go and see Melrose abbey, as Sir Walter had described it, by moonlight, “Pcoh, pooh,” said Scott, “you don’t suppose I ever saw it by moonlight!” — William Matthews, Sainte Beuve's Monday Chats. U. S. FARM LIBRARIES. The United States bureau of educa- tion, which Is of recent establishment, is Introducing a scheme for bringing a circulating Ubrary to the home of every farmer in the United States. The plan {s to place from 100 to 150 books of sultable character In charge of the local storekeeper or postmaster, and to pay him a small salary for handling them. The books will be re- newed every three months. The books will be of a character destred by the renders as far as possible. Collec: tions may be loaned to schools.

Lovely Moonlight Rose of White or Silver Gauze 6 THE last rose of summer to bloom in the millinery garden is the most beautiful of all. A dream of rose, a lovely ghost of all the oright colored beauties which have preceded her. This is the rose of white or silver gauze, made of the fabric folded over and wrapped about a rose center in the semblance of a full blown rose. In the illustration a hat (which a French woman would be sure to call "ravishing") is shown trimmed with a wreath of gauze roses and delicate grasses. The hat is a fine dead-white chip faced with moire in pale silver gray. Besides the wreath of roses, a very full bow of white ribbon partially covers the crown, in the trimming. It is an adorable hat, beautiful in every detail. Nothing could be better for SMART SLEEVE FROM WORTH Silk Marquisette Gown Has a Long, Tight Cuff of Black Satin. Worth has sent out a very smart sleeve in a black silk marquisette gown. It is full from a low shoulder to within an inch of the elbow, made of the marquisette, and there is a long tight cuff of black satin that extends to the hand, which is touched at the top with a thick satin cord, and is finished at the wrist with two white crochet buttons and a half-inch fall of black lace. The bodice has two gathered scars of the marquisette starting from the shoulders, crossing the bust, and finished at an empire waist line in the back with a flat pump bow held in place by thick satin cords at the edges. A black satin girdle outlines the front of the blouse, and it runs into a narrow pointed panel for eight inches below the waist. This panel is part of the skirt. PANIERS AN EARLY FANCY Cannot Be Said to Have Achieved Much Success Despite Its Parisian Origin and Backing. Numberless are the "robes de style" just now being shown in all the big dressmaking houses, says the Paris correspondent of Dress, and various are the forms they take. Of course the panier dress is one of them, copied exactly from old documents. But one never knows whether early models will be a success until La Parisienne has pronounced her opinion of them. Thus it is pretty safe to predict, instead of the panier dress, a return or a partial return to the directoire style. The high directoire collar and fancy vest are already seen at fashionable assemblies, worn with the cutaway habit coat and wide cuffs of the period. the directoire hat is worn with this costume, but the directoire hat is not new to us, for we have had it with us all the winter. Tinted Walls. It is far cheaper to tint walls with water or "size colors" than it is to paint them with oils. Moreover, the colors are lovely and the finish soft. The only difficulty lies in the fact that tinted walls cannot be washed. Size or fresco colors should never be touched with water. They may be cleaned with bread crumbs, or Indian meal, but the process is a tedious one. Dry pigments are used for this tinting. They are generally mixed in glue size that has been dissolved in hot water. They cost about fifty-five cents a package and one package will cover about forty square yards.—Harper's Bazar. Crash Motor Coats The newest coats for motoring are made of heavy plain colored crash, lined with flowered crash, and the trimming of grill work and fabric-covered buttons. The flower effects in the linings are bold and the coloring brilliant midsummer, or any other season, providing the body of the hat is chosen of a material suited to the time of year in which it is to be worn. Other roses branched into wreaths and bouquets, are made of lightweight ribbons in odd colors. Very high luster in the ribbons makes these ribbon roses unusually effective and attractive. They are used on mid-season hats of lace and embroidery and on the net and lace caps which are worn indoors and out. Tiny tightly folded roses continue to grow in favor, worn like a bar pin at the throat, over small bows, and jabots. They are made of all the most popular of the summer colors, blue, pink, green, lavender, pale yellow and white JULIA BOTTOMLEY. [Illustration of a woman wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a fitted blouse with ruffled sleeves and a bow at the neck.] This model is of mousseline de sole, but can be made of any other material. It is gathered or shirred at the shoulders and finished in front with a band of lace and buttons, on each side of which is a wide, graduated frill, bordered with heavy lace. The collarette is of fine lace, the cravat and girdle are of satin. The sleeves are finished with odd-turned back frills of the material, edged with the heavy lace. Fancy Vests in Favor. A number of the smartest suits now being made up show fancy vests, says the Dry Goods Economist. These are occasionally made separately, so that the suit can be worn with or without them, but the majority are attached to the coat, and it is expected that the latter style will be made popular than the separate vests. These vests are made of satin, broadcloth, velvet, moire, faille, brocade and other fancy silks. Some of the more elaborate are beautifully embroidered in the new Oriental colorings or in blending colors to match the garment. Lace and the Reticule. Handbags made of lace are a pretty summer possession that will take the fancy of the lover of dainty dress accessories. They are swung from long cords and are to be worn with the lingerie frock. Irish and Venise, both real and limitation, compose them, as well as black and white Chantilly, and fillet combined with embroidery. Waists Have Pockets Sporting waisties for tennis, golf, etc. come in white or natural colors, butcher er's linen, with big pockets, belts and collars and cuffs made of plain or striped material. There are, of course the usual hip pockets and silk ties. THE PEARL I 929 Twenty First Class Tonsorial Artists in Attend Call Again.
