PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADV. IN THE PEOPLE'S PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY Why Africans Are Not Barbarians VOL. XX. Why Afi Are Not (From the Atlanta Georgian.) Recent discoveries of Professor Leo Frobenius the famous German explorer and acheologist, have proved that Africans are not the ignorant barbarians we have usually thought them to be. They prove that a high degree of civilization combined with high artistic ability has existed in various parts of Africa and still exists today. The objects collected by Frobenius have been placed on exhibition in a museum in Berlin and have excited great interest by their artistic character. The professor points out that African art has a peculiar character because the life of the African is passed entirely indoors, whereas the mental life of the European is associated with the interior. The objects are made directly from natural material without great artificial changes. This gives them a primitive character, but one thoroughly in harmony with the material treated. Each material has its special ornamentation. The ornamentation used upon wood is never the same as that used upon iron, and so forth. The professor has come to the conclusion that the people of Central Africa had communication with the Ancient Greeks and with the prehistoric civilized people of Europe and Asia. He argues that from them we may learn much about these prehistoric races. The professor visited a very interesting workshop at Bids, a large town of Western Central Africa. There were Negro workmen engaged in carving bars of crudely prepared bronze into curious and richly ornamented vases. The system of distributing the work was splendidly organized. The native arts have degenerated terribly since the arrival of large numbers of Europeans. Many native artists used the cheap metal brought from Europe instead of the product of their own mines. Others copy the cheap and vulgar vases and other objects brought from Europe. Bida, however, is one place where native art continues to flourish healthily. ```markdown ``` In the ancient ruined cities along the banks of the Benody River Frobenius found large quantities of ancient objects of art beautiful statuettes of bronze and wood, richly and curiously decorated leaden articles. Nothing re- mains of these industries in the locality to-day. Proffessor Frobenius has found sculptures in stone and terra cotta in Central Africa presenting striking analogies with Greek art. He found ancient royal palaces of solid masonry in similar style. These buildings had court yards and galleries perfectly planned, surmounted by heavy roofs and ornamented with tiles. The interior was admirably planned. In some buildings he found a Christian influence in the form of Byzantine decoration, grafted on the older local style. The further he went into the past the higher the civilization he discovered. He found that the Western Coast of Africa, today regarded as the most barbarous past of the continent, possessed a high culture in ancient times. He believed that the same race inhabited the country, but it was of a less crude and servile type than at present. He believes that civilization originated here and gradually passed toward the north. The Northern races, forced by their climate; developed the civilization to the utmost for their own benefit, while the Southern races, tempted to idleness by a tropical sun and a fertile soil, gradually abandoned themselves to idle dreaming.

Julius Rosenwald, of Chicago, who already has given $300,000 toward the erection of Y. M. C. A buildings, for colored men, and who will probably be called on for several hundred thousand dollars more within the next year and a half for the same purpose, was in the city last Monday to attend a meeting of the Jewish Federation of Indianapolis at the Indianapolis club tonight. With Mr. Rosenwald is Julian W. Mack, judge of the United States circuit court in Chicago, another of the leaders of Jewish activities. Indianapolis benefited to the extent of $25,000 from Mr. Rosenwald's benefactions, as he gave that sum toward the erection of the Y. M. C. A. in this city. EXPLAINS CAUSE OF OFFER When he was asked why he had become so deeply interested in the colored people, Mr. Rosenwald said: "Because there was no place for the colored men to go except to the vicious saloon. All of the leading theatres are closed against them, the leading halls are closed against them and so are all of the other places where they might go. Even the high class saloons will not admit the colored man, and the only place left open for him was the low saloon. I thought the colored people were not having a chance and that if places were provided for them they might show that they could elevate themselves. "So I made a proposition that if any city would raise $75,000 for a colored Y. M. C. A. I would give $25,000, thus making a fund of $100,000. Thus far twelve cities have accepted the offer. Not all have completed their work, but some have finished and the others are at work. No doubt many more will accept the offer, which has a year and a half yet to run. The colored Y. M. C. A's. thus far built are proving to be successful. In Chicago, for instance, the colored Y. M. C. A. is a very popular place. It is filled all the time and is doing a great work." Mr. Rosenwald is president of the Sears-Roebuck Company of Chicago. When he was asked what he thought about business conditions and prospects, he said: --- "I improvement in business, I believe, depenes entirely on the crops. If the crops are good it will bring about better business conditions. I can see no other prospect of improvement. I can not see where it will come from. People have been too extravagant They have heen spending too much money and living too fast. What is true of individuals is also true of nations which are but large collections of individuals. If a nation spends more money than it can afford it will suffer the consequences, just like an individual. There is no question but that the people themselves are to blame for the present business depression." Information reached us from Washington, D. C., that Miss Susie B. Hall, who graduated from East Denver High school two years ago, passed a highly creditable examination in her graduation from the Howard Normal Teachers' college, June 15th. She was at the head of her class and made a great impression on the faculty of the kind of pupils that Denver sends to represent her. Miss Hall speaks in glowing terms of Howard University and is preparing to take a position in one of the schools of Muskogee, Okla., after the holidays. Miss Gladys Whitmier and Clarence Holmes (pr.) have done good work during their first term—the former wining a valuable prize, taking first place in the school in geometry, and the latter making rapid strides in his educational work as also in athletics, where he won two medals in the annual track meet. Congratulations from the Colorado Statesman and abundant success. Washington, D. C., June 3 Notwithstanding the pleadings of Senator Simmons and Overman and the threat of Collector Watts to resign unless he had his way, the civil service commission has ruled that Chambers, the colored janitor of the federal building at Statesville, N. C., whom Mr. Watts fired, some time ago in order to make a place for a white man must be reinstated and allowed full pay for the three months which the collector forced him out of his job. Captain Gregory, who succeeded Chambers, it is believed, will be paid for the time he has served, but Chambers must be restored to his old job and his full civil service standing.

The statistic of the Missouri Bureau of Labor show that out of 280,000 farms in that state 3,753 are owned by colored peeple, it is found that they are represented by about 1 per cent in value, whereas the colored population is about five per cent of the whole. The report asserts that nearly every colored farmer of Missouri has a bank account and is able to take a vacation in one of the cities once or twice a year. The state maintain at Jefferson City an institution for educating the colored men in agriculture. A patent has been issued to Robert Lewis on an automatic lantern, specially designed for use of railroads, although it is to be used for the various purposes for which lanterns are ordinarily used. The automatic works can be used, it is said, on auto,s bicycles and safety lanterns in mines, signal lights on railroads, and can be lighted in powder plants, if necessary, without danger. The invention is regarded as a valuable one. Austin, Texas, May 30—Approximately 40 colored convicts, mostly old timers, will be granted pardons by Governor Colquitt on June 19, Emancipation Day. The list is now being prepared and the records of the lucky ones are being investigated by the board of pardon advisers. Most of these convicts have no friend to intercede for them and only their records to recommend them for executive clemency. In granting these pardons on Emancipation Day the governor is following a system which he established when he became governor of granting pardons on Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc. Chicago, June 9.—The United States Circuit Court of Appeals today affirmed a previous decision reversing portions of a decision of the lower court which convicted Jack Johnson, of violating the Mann white slave act. It was also ordered that Johnson be resentenced. The Negro originally was fined $1,000 and sentenced to a year and a day in the penitentiary. He fled the country and is now in France. In the petition for a rehearing, the district attorney argued that the lower court should have been sustained in every instance. Hampton, Va., June. 1.—Dr. J. Edmenstone Barnes of Liberia, NO 42 Ex Minister of Public Works, now President and Director of the Society for the Establishment and Maintenance of the Liberian Industrial Training Institution and School, gave a twenty-minute talk Monday night in Cleveland Hall Chapel. Dr. Barnes dwelt briefly upon the history of Liberia, and very forcibly brought to the attention of his audience the condition of the aborigines, who comprise seventy per cent of the population of over a million and a half. Owing to lack of funds no provision has been made for taking civilization back in the Hinterland to the tribes there who are anxious to be educated. Dr. Barnes, expects when he returns to Liberia, to establish elementary schools in suitable centers and also a higher industrial school at some healthful location in the Hinterland. Washington, D.C., June 3 The Federal government is seeking by means of a case brought up to the Supreme Court from Alabama, to prove that the Alabama convict law permits peonage in violation to the Federal statute. The test case is that of a colored man named E. W. Fields, who was convicted in Monroe County of larceny. Failing to pay the fine, J. A. Reynolds, a plantation owner, became surety for him, and, as permitted by the Alabama law, Fields contracted to work out the indebtedness during nine months at the rate of $6.00 a month and keep. The government charges that Reynolds later had Fields arrested for failing to complete the contract. As a result of the arrest, Fields, in court, entered into contract to work fourteen months for G. W. Broughton, another plantation owner. Reynolds and Broughton were indicted by the Federal government but the Federal District Court for Southern Alabama held that peonage had not been committed. The Supreme Court will probably hear the appeal next October. The disposition of this case, it is thought will have an important bearing on similar statutes in other Southern States.

Branson, professor of rural economics at the State Normal school, Athens, Ga., recently addressed the Southern Sociological congress on the subject of negro progress. What he had to say is gratifying to those who hope to see the American negro elevated in education, citizenship and ambition. If Professor Branson is right, the American negro is working out his own salvation, not in the town, but in the country. In the southern states in 1910 the ratio of negro farm workers ran far ahead of that of negro population in general. For instance, in South Carolina, the negroes were 55 per cent of the population, but 68 per cent of the farm workers. In Mississippi during the last census period negro farmers increased at a rate nearly two and one-half times greater than the rate of increase for negro population in general. In Georgia the difference was even more pronounced. The drift everywhere among the negroes of the South is from the city to the country. Southern cities that between 1855 and 1880 were in a way of being overwhelmed by the negroes, now show, in some cases, a diminishing ratio. In the South there are about one hundred thousand negroes engaged in teaching, preaching, the practise of medicine and law and in business enterprises. These are, of course, upward-looking negroes. But on the farms of the South there are 2,500,000 negroes, and most of these are looking upward, too. In the farm regions the southern negro is achieving a new economic status. He is rapidly rising out of farm tenancy to the farm ownership. He is becoming to the South what the "peasant proprietor" is to France and Belgium. He is finding that bank books and barns are more important at present than ballot boxes. Nearly one-fourth of all the negro farmers in the South own the farms they cultivate. This rural property is valued at nearly $500,000,000. The Russian serfs, after 50 years of freedom, have not made greater headway. They have not done so well, indeed, in their conquest of illiteracy. During the last census period the negroes of the South increased less than ten per cent in population, but they increased 17 per cent in the ownership of farms, against a 12 per cent increase of white farm owners. The negro farmer now owns $37,000,000 worth of farm implements and tools, $177,000,000 worth of farm animals and $273,000,000 worth of farm lands and buildings. In 1880 Georgia negroes owned 580,664 acres of farm land, but in 1910 they owned 1,607,970 acres. Negro property upon the tax lists of Georgia now amounts in value to $34,000,000. The facts show a dwindling ratio of negro population in every southern state except Arkansas and Oklahoma; a decreasing ratio in the cities of the South, but an increasing ratio in the farming regions of every southern state except Louisiana. Hampton Court palace, London, may become the home of Lady Scott, widow of the South pole explorer, King George, it is said, having decided to make the offer. These apartments are occupied principally by the widows of men who have greatly distinguished themselves in the service of the country in a naval, military or civil capacity. The only stipulation made by the king when he offers a suite is that the recipient may not sublet rooms to any one without obtaining permission from the court. Hampton institute, the pioneer among the schools for teaching negroes and Indians, has decided that in the future it will not give a diploma to any boy or girl who has not received definite vocational training. According to Dr. H. B. Frissell, principal of the institution, the result of this will be a better prepared body of rural teachers. A great many of the Hampton graduates go back among their own people to teach the things they have learned in school. "In order to make their training more effective," says Dr. Frissell, "much thought has been given to the selection of new students. The application department reports that 2,328 letters have been written this year; 1,536 application blanks have been sent out; 909 have been returned; 384 admission cards have been issued, and 237 applicants have entered." The Times of Ceylon has been investigating the possibility that Ceylon may be able to produce raw ramine fiber for supplying the ramine mills of the United States and Europe. Colored people who take Booker Washington's service and become farmers will make no mistake. The farmer enjoys the most independent existence on earth. What surer recipe than that of acquiring financial competence can there be for minimizing if not entirely removing the handicap of social ostracism? Through the work of the Minnesota agricultural botany department of the agricultural college it will soon be possible for farmers to become familiar with the seeds of 96 varieties of weeds. Judge McCants Stewart of the supreme court of Liberia says that the affairs of the African republic are in better shape than for years past, owing to its financial reorganization under the guidance of Reed Page Clark, who was loaned by the state department to handle the customs receipts of the nation, in connection with the assumption of the national debt by Kuhn, Loeb & Co. Clark, as acting chief, was assisted by officials of the English, French and German governments. Stewart says it was some time before the system got under way, on account of the bond issue, but it is now very successful, and there is no friction similar to that of Persia during Shuster's stay at Teheran. The British Bank of West Africa has a new building at Monrovia, with four branches. A German firm has asked for a concession for a railway in Monrovia, to run 100 miles inland. Another German firm, and Lever, the English soap manufacturer, have both sought the palm oil concessions. It is understood that American capital has not shown great interest yet in Liberian operations, but it would undoubtedly be welcomed, because it is not considered that financial investments by American merchants and capitalists would be followed by any policy of imperialism such as might follow the investment of German or French money. President Howard, according to Judge Stewart, is having a very successful diplomatic administration. Major Charles Young, a West Pointer, has done great work in organizing the constabulary. Judge Stewart will sell from Liverpool in company with George Washington Buckner, the new American minister to Liberia, and Lleutenant Martin, who will assist Major Young with the constabulary. The pastors of the colored churches of Indianapolis conducted a memorial service in the auditorium of the colored Y. M. C. A. under the auspices of the Martin R. Delaney post of the G. A. R. and the Women's Relief corps. The Rev. D. P. Roberts of Bethel church was master of ceremonies. The proclamation authorizing the observance was read by Miss Susie Wilson. The Rev. C. W. Lewis conducted the Scripture lesson. The Rev. J. R. Harvey offered the invocation. Short addresses were made by the Rev. W. H. Weaver, J. H. Lott, the Rev. H. L. Herod, the Rev. W. S. Hodge and the Rev. Father A. H. Maloney. A choir composed of members selected from the choirs of the various churches sang. A parade by the veterans, headed by the Y. M. C. A. band preceded the services. Several lodges acted as escorts for the G. A. R. men. Results of anti-typhoid inoculation among the French troops in Algeria and Morocco during 1912 were reported by Professor Vincent at the recent international medical congress in London. In western Morocco, while about 16 per cent among the non-inoculated contracted the disease, only one in 5,000 among the inoculated did so. The average output of coal to each person employed in the industry in the United States is a little more than 600 tons, in the United Kingdom 266 tons, in Germany 240 tons, in France 188 tons, and in Belgium 164 tons. The party of negroes assembled by "Chief" Alfred Charles Sam have sailed to establish a colony on the Gold Coast of Africa. The steamer Curlyba, chartered by Sam last winter and brought to Portland, Me., for overhauling, has been changed from Cuban to British registry and now bears the name of Liberia. "We will first go to Norfolk to take on our bunker coal," said Sam, "and we will then head for Galveston, where many of the colonists are waiting for us. We will have accommodations for a few over sixty." Capt. McKenzie of the Holy Ghost and Us society will be master of the steamer. In Stavanger, Norway, even peasants and fishermen use electric lights. The engine?? the municipal electric plant has organized a class of housewives for instruction in the use of electricity-heated cooking apparatus. The New York Housewives' league has engaged several women to act as inspectors in their crusade against cold storage food. Two London daily newspapers—the Mall and the Chronicle—are insuring their readers against rail accidents. The London Express figures that the odds against death from injury caused by accidents to trains are 80,000,000 to 1, white London Truth estimates the value to each subscriber is six cents a year. Investigation in North Carolina has shown that school attendance in cotton-mill communities is always lower than in rural or even mountain districts.

As we go along the streets where the various fruit-dealing and vegetable commission houses are situated we are convinced of the good crops both in quality and quantity that the farmer is having this season, as the products appear the result of special soil nutrition. Remarks and opinions have been passed upon the increased rainfall as being injurious to the usual output of the farms, but relying upon what we term the best authority (the man who sows, nurtures and reaps), we are hopeful that the showers that have been in abundance will prove of extraordinary benefits to both producer and consumers. Facts gleaned from agricultural journals and magazines in relation to the intended output, have given proof of a great increase in the wheat fields, and about twice as much as last season is the anticipation of the farmer. This is most encouraging, as with the advantage afforded us by dealing directly with the producer through the establishment of the municipal markets and other agencies whereby our expenses in this particular will be reduced, there is every reason to be sure of a prosperous season. Another phase of this matter looms up, in the employment given many of our people during the harvesting of the crops, which is practically unknown to city folks, as on a whole they have hardly any desire to visit the farm, but with the exodus of settlers to the Deerfield site and other surrounding places, an unusual amount of employment will be opened for those who are ready and willing to toil honestly for their daily bread and the maintenance of their families. May this wave of prosperity hasten, as we have been away from anything this way a long time, and our past experience will furnish sufficient guidance to each being their own counsel in the act of spending some and saving some after becoming the recipients of the good gifts that accompany prosperity.

CHANGE IN TOLLS BY 26 MAJORITY SIMMONS - NORRIS AMENDMENT TO EXEMPTION REPEAL ACT WINS IN THE SENATE. AMENDMENT ADOPTED EVEN LEADERS DO NOT EXPECT BILL TO PASS BY AS WIDE A MARGIN. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Washington.—The Senate Wednesday night adopted the Simmons-Norris amendment qualifying the canal tolls exemption repeal by a vote of 50 to 24. This was the first test vote after six weeks of debate on the repeal bill. Even the most optimistic senators who favored repeal had not expected the amendment to carry by so large a large a majority. It is not believed, however, that the bill itself can be put through by so great a margin. Nine Democratic senators—Ashurst Martine, O'Gorman, Pomerene, Randell, Reed, Shields, Walsh and Williams—voted against the amendment, Several of these, however, are expected to vote for the repeal bill, while several Republicans who supported the amendment are expected to line up against the bill. The Simmons-Norris amendment provides that the passage of the repeal shall not be construed or held as a waiver or relinquishment of any rights the United States may have under the Hay-Pauncefote treaty with Great Britain. The amendment adopted reads as follows: "Provided, That the passage of this act shall not be construed or held as a waiver or relinquishment of any right the United States may have under the treaty with Great Britain ratified the 21st of February, 1902, or the treaty with the Republic of Panama ratified February 26, 1904, or otherwise to discriminate in favor of its vessels, by exempting the vessels of the United States or its citizens from the payment of tolls for passage through said canal, or as in any way waiving, impairing or affecting any right of the United States under said treaty or otherwise with the respect to the sovereignty over or the ownership, control and management of said canal and the regulation of the conditions or charges of traffic through the same." The Sutherland amendment proposed as a substitute for the Simmons-Norris amendment, was defeated, 49 to 33. It declared that nothing in the repeal act should be considered as denying or abridging the right of the United States to discriminate in favor of American shipping, and added that, on the contrary, such right is re-asserted. Saltillo, Mex.—It was generally understood here Wednesday night that General Carranza has transmitted to the mediators at Niagara Falls his answer to their latest note, but that the contents of the constitutionalist reply would not be made public here out of courtesy to the mediators.

LLUP 355 DENVER, COLORADO The Bride and the Bridal Gown BRIDES to be, more than any one else, are interested in the superb trousseau made for the president's daughter. But a review of the gowns made for her, and other members of the bridal cortege, reveals an adaptation of the present modes to individual taste and refinement that is interesting to every one. The most noteworthy feature about all the gowns was simplicity. In a season of conglomerations and elaborations that often arrive at the stage of fussiness and shapelessness the gowns of Miss Wilson's trousseau were simple in design and yet contrived to strike the notes of the mode. Kurzman, to whom the daughters of multimillionaires appear to turn with one accord when they go a-trousseauing, undertook the pleasant task of outfitting the White House bride, and accomplished it in a manner to wonder at. Here is a picture of the bride, photographed in her wedding gown. The gown is of ivory white satin, made with a long train, and the lines of the skirt unbroken except by a flat application of magnificent point lace. The bodice is draped in the quaint and fascinating surplice fashion at one side with a sash of lace drawn over the shoulder at the opposite side. The underbodice is of chiffon laid in irregular plaits and fastened with a small brooch at the point of the "V" Really Clever Bathing Caps 図 A IT is interesting to note that bathing caps, designed along entirely new lines, are taking the place of simpler caps of rubberized cloth made all exactly alike and without any reference to becomingness. The new caps are of silk and many of them intended to be worn over close-fitting rubber caps which provide the real protection to the hair. A pretty and strikingly original model is pictured here, made of tafeta silk, which is about as satisfactory as any material to be had for bathing caps and suits. Women understand now that getting down to actual swimming and managing to look well when emerging from the water are two entirely compatible things. But the cap and the suit worn are matter that demands serious attention. People who have leisure and money are going in for athletics, more and --- shaped neck. It was a triumph. The very long and moderately full tulle vell was arranged in a cap for the head, with a wreath of orange blossoms set just back of the gathered fulness at the front. The short face vell is thrown back, falling free from the head, but the remainder of the vell falls from the cap, into which it is gathered across the back of the head. The bouquet of white orchids with many loops of gauze ribbon and valley lilies was provided with the usual pendants of ribbon and sprays of flowers, the longest reaching to the bottom of the gown: The gown may be taken as a lovely type of the regulation bridal dress with a concession to the present mode in the hanging of the skirt and the open, uncovered throat. The sleeves were rather full and long. It is a splendid achievement, and the rare lace that adorns it ought to outlast generations of brides. It looks as if it might have been chosen with the idea of treasuring some memento of the gown, which adorned the bride, upon the great day in her life. This, and others of the trousseau, are worthy the study of women who refuse to follow exaggerations in style. The gowns are those of a woman of exquisite taste and a keen "sense of clothes." # more. A town without at least one swimming pool for women is about as much behind the times as a house without a bath tub. No woman should miss the benefits and pleasures of the simplest and pleasantest of summer sports; and one does not need to belong to the leisure class to enjoy the water. It happens that water is a commodity possessed by every community. The cap illustrated is made of a piece of silk folded over and stitched in one seam. It is made to fit snugly about the head and finished with a narrow hem. Two tabs of silk are tacked on at the sides by way of making the cap becoming. There is a great variety in caps and suits to choose from this year. The fabrics are inexpensive, and any one with the average knowledge of sewing can make them. --- JULIA BOTTOMLEY.
