POLITICAL SUFFRAGE AND PROPERTY RIGHTS TWENTIETH YEAR POLITICAL ANI WHAT OF THE FUTURE—IS THE NEGRO SECURE? There are those who feel that the quiescent attitude of the Negro, and his seeming willing submission to his political effacement in the South, gives cause for just fear that his rights are not secure; that his elimination from politics in the South, it permitted to go on without a protest, will be followed by his elimination from politics in the North. That to exclude him from the activities of politics in any part of the country at all, is both a mistake and an injustice which under no circumstances ought to be permitted by the great body of the Negro people throughout this country. Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty. With the Negro practically eliminated, with the judicial and legislative power in the hands of another race, not colored like his own, what is to prevent those who have the power so to do from confiscating his property. This has already been done in states where Negroes, by their industry and thrift, had acquired homes and farms, and were engaged in gainful business enterprises, which excited the avarice, envy, and cupidity of jealous whites who first terrorized, then drove them away from their property, confiscated it or purchased it at ridiculously low prices. This has happened in Arkansas and Georgia, in Wilmington, N. C.; in Springfield, Illinois. In a Western city not long ago sixty Negro servants of a white hotel were warned to leave so that white servants might take their places, and the hotel was dynamited when no heed was given to the warning. Southern white miners in Tennessee drove out colored miners and laborers, and their places were taken by whites. In another city of the South Negro carpenters working on a job were ordered to leave on penalty of death, that whites might do the work. In a lumber camp in Louisiana Negro lumbermen were driven out, and their places given to whites. As --- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY APRIL 3 1909 long as Negroes anywhere are subject to this form of rapacity the danger is not past. For there will come a time when the occasion for it will be more general and pressing, viz., provision for whites. If a revolution were to drive all Negroes out of Virginia or Georgia it would make provision for 1,000,000 whites. If a million whites needed such provision they would so seek it. If a million whites pledged the whites of Virginia or Georgia to perform the labor now being performed by Negroes in those states, they would speedily get rid of the Negro population. Even if Negroes became too independent to need to work for the whites they would be hated infinitely more than they now are and could not be borne at all. Within the past ten years the South has decisively made up its mind. Strong representations, not a word of which have been printed or spoken, have been made to former President Roosevelt and to President Taft. The editor of the Charleston News and Courier had a private conversation with Presidentelect Taft—the nature of which may well be surmised. The fact is the Negro race cannot go further in acquiring property and education in the South without becoming the leading people down there. And the average Negro cannot make progress in either of these directions without making an awful noise with his mouth to call attention to himself. As though men with ordinary intelligence are lacking in the power of observation. The whites have private codes of persecution, ostracism and death for any white person who openly sympathizes with Negroes, as against them.

Hartzell, one of the missionary bishops of the Methodist Episcopal church, is endeavoring to raise $300,000 as a fund to commemorate the seventy-fifth anniversary of the denomination's work in Africa. The fund has already passed the $100,000 mark and when secured will be used to further the work of the denomination on the dark continent. The $300,000 will be used to support missionaries, establish mission stations, build schools and in every way possible be used to uplift the Africans and prevent their becoming disciples of Mohammedanism. There are millions of Africans yet unreached who speak in 600 languages and dialects. To uplift these is the stupendous task which the Methodist church desires to accomplish on a large scale. Though hampered by the lack of funds, the good cause has consecrated men and women working with zeal for the betterment of the natives. Mission stations and schools have already been established and native mission workers educated and sent out. Bishop Hartzell in his report to the general conference in Baltimore in May, 1508, said: "Africa's day has long been delayed, but it has come at last. The silent and mysterious sphinx of Egypt is no longer the symbol of Africa. "For long millenniums the whole continent, except a little part along the Mediterranean and some fringes along the coasts and in extreme South Africa, was velled in mystery. But that day is lifted. Not simply has a nation been born in a day, but a continent! "The explorer has traversed nearly every part of its domain. Modern science is mastering its tropical diseases, developing its agriculture, making the mines of gold and other minerals of untold value. Diplomacy has parceled out the continent, and everywhere there will soon be protection and opportunity for all races. The barbaric and Mohammedan millions of Africa are sharing in the worldwide awakening that has come to all people. They are anxiously waiting for something better. They may not know what it is, but they know it is in the possession of natives outside themselves, and we know that civilization is never indigenous. The heathen of the world will never have Christ unless taken to them by the missionaries of the cross." The first missionary to Liberia was Melville B. Cox, who sailed from Baltimore in 1832. Until 1885 the work of the denomination in Africa was confined to Liberia. Negroes Own University. School at Louisville a Blessing—Exceptional Work of Woman's Educational Convention-Help Received Regardless of Denominational Lines. State university at Louisville, Ky., is said to be the only educational institution of the university grade owned and controlled by the Negro race in the United States. It was founded in 1879 for the education of young colored men and women, the late William J. Simmons being elected its first president. Dr. Simmons, who was a close friend of the Rev. Dr. G. M. P. King, former president of Wayland seminary at Washington before its consolidation with Virginia Union university, was one of the foremost educators of his time. Located as it is in a thickly populated section of Kentucky, with 50,000 colored people in Louisville alone, State university has been a blessing to the race. Especially has it been successful in preparing young men for the ministry and others as public schoolteachers. Interest in the university has been generally increased since the last meet- [Image of a man in a suit with a tie, facing forward, set against an oval frame with a black background.

WILLIAM T. AMIGER. ing of the women's Baptist educational convention, which was held not long ago at Harrodsville, Ky. Under the leadership of Mrs. William H. Steward the women have succeeded in erecting a $20,000 domestic science dormitory for girls. Miss Lucy Flint is secretary of the organization, and by her energy new impetus has been aroused in the work. The general Baptist association of Kentucky and many individuals have generously contributed to the work of the school regardless of denominational affiliation. Upon the retirement of Dr. J. R. L. Diggs from the presidency of the university in August, 1908, Dr. W. T. Amiger was elected. He is a native of Culpeper, Va., where, after attending the public schools of his home, he prepared for college at the State Normal school at Geneseo, N. Y. He afterward entered Lincoln university, Chester county, Pa., from which he graduated in the class of 1902, receiving THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. the degree of master of arts. Dr. Amiger also took a special course at Newton Theological seminary, Newton Center, Mass. From Newton he was called to the pastorate of the Third Baptist church of Springfield, Mass. Here he pastored successfully for five years. During this time 174 persons were added to the membership of the church. At the close of his pastorate the membership was 351. Rev. and Mrs. Amiger have three children—Naomi, twelve; Rowland Kittridge, nine, and Ruth, seven. Mrs. Amiger was a student with her husband in the state normal school of western New York. At the farewell reception given Mr. and Mrs. Amiger in Springfield the members of the church presented them with a purse of money and a hundred dollar gold watch, which was a present from Mr. and Mrs. Albert D. Smith, white friends of Rev. and Mrs. Amiger. AID FOR NEGRO EDUCATION. Generous Gift of Miss Anna T. Jeanes Being Wisely Disposed Of. Some time before the death of Miss Anna T. Jeanes she was visited at her quiet home in Philadelphia by Dr. H. B. Frissell, president of Hampton institute, Hampton, Va. He came in the interest of Negro education. He wanted money especially to carry knowledge of the simple processes of cleanliness and agriculture into the Negro shanty families. He described the need for that kind of practical work, the necessity to carry the school to the homes of southern Negroes, before any permanent or comprehensive betterment of the race could be effected. Miss Jeanes listened quietly—she had already given the subject much attention—and before he went away she wrote out a check for him. He folded it and left. When he got outside he looked at the amount. He expected at the most to find $200. It was for $10,-000. That was the beginning of Miss Jeanes' interest in Negro education. That her interest grew into such proportions that she made a bequest of $1,000,000 for this purpose is already a matter of common knowledge. The bequest was made a little more than a year ago, and under an able board of trustees, of which President Taft is one and Dr. Talcott Williams another, great strides have already been made toward attaining encouraging results in the long fight for the upholding of the Negro race. Active work is being carried forward by Dr. James H. Dillard of Tulane university, New Orleans, president of the board of trustees and general manager of the distribution of the fund, which amounts to a yearly stipend of between $40,000 and $50,000. The methods and results so far achieved are described by Dr. Dillard as follows: "I have made a personal investigation of school conditions in three counties in Virginia, two in South Carolina, four in North Carolina, one in Georgia, one in Alabama, two in Mississippi, four in Louisiana and one in Texas. "I was prepared to find a majority of the colored parents anxious to educate their children, but there has been greater actual advance in thrift and prosperity among the Negro farming class than I expected. At the same time, in every neighborhood I visited there is the same lack of schoolhouses and competent teachers, the same overcrowding of children, the same absence of school equipment and the same scant appropriations from the public fund. Nevertheless the improvement is marked, and I believe it will continue." Busy Women In Good Work. Support of Temperance and Fight Against Consumption Make Position of Trained Nurses in a New York Hospital More Important. More than ordinary interest is attached to the forthcoming "blue and white" annual recital and reception of the Lincoln Hospital Alumnae association which is to take place at Manhattan Casino, New York city, on the evening of Tuesday, April 27. The general awakening of the race in support of the temperance movement and the fight against the ravages of tuberculosis make the position of the trained registered nurse in cities having a large population of Afro-Americans more important. New York is especially fortunate in M. MISS MARTHA BEA- New York is especially fortunate in this respect, for there are scores of trained nurses from the Lincoln hospital and other hospital training schools who are doing splendid service among the poor in giving both treatment and medical advice. Among the many trained nurses who are graduates of Lincoln hospital, New York, registered and practicing their profession daily, Miss Martha Beatrice Upson has the distinction of being the first young woman of the race to be appointed to the important position of district nurse in the borough of Brooklyn. Since her appointment as district nurse Miss Upson has made about 800 visits and has come in touch with many sad and neglected cases. In many instances she has had the need supplied through the different charities, both public and private. In homes where the services of a trained nurse would not be thought of touch M. MRS. R. WILLIAMS. good has been done by giving timely advice and personal treatment when opportunity afforded. These visits have also been the key to a study of the home life of the people whereby many unknown conditions have been found and remedies for routing out existing evils applied. Mrs. Rose Williams and Miss Marguerite Robinson are also graduates of Lincoln Hospital Training school. Mrs. Williams, who graduated at the head of her class in 1907, has had considerable experience both in public and private nursing. When she left Lincoln hospital she was immediately engaged to attend a private patient PAGE. 10. who underwent a serious operation with whom she remained five months. After the recovery of her patient she found employment with the Howard Colored Orphan asylum for the especial purpose of getting broader experience in nursing and caring for sick children. Many interesting medical and surgical cases have come under her observation in the said institution. After May 1 next Mrs. Williams expects to give up her position at the orphan asylum in order to supplement her studies by taking a course in domestic science at Columbia university, New York. Mrs. Williams says, "I find it necessary for trained nurses to have a thorough knowledge of food values." I MISS MARGUERITE knowledge of food ROBINSON. values." Miss Marguerite Robinson, another member of the Alumnae association, is also stationed in Brooklyn, where she enjoys a large practice in private nursing. Miss Adah B. Samuels is president of the Alumnae association and also assistant superintendent of Lincoln hospital. She is the first Afro-American woman to hold the position at Lincoln hospital. High Esteem For Employee. Henry De Hart, who died recently at his home on Staten Island, had been in the employ of William H. Hunt, the millionaire iron manufacturer, at West Brighton, N. Y., for twenty-six years. Out of respect for the deceased AfroAmerican employee Mr. Hunt closed his plant and, accompanied by 200 employees, attended Mr. De Hart's funeral. Young Pianist In Recital. Miss Nellie Moore, a rising young pianist, appeared recently in a piano recital which was given at the Temple forum, Richmond Hill, N. Y., and scored a hit. Miss Moore was ably assisted by Mr. Harry Thacker Burleigh. Promoted on His Merit. Charles R. Doll, engrossing clerk of the house of representatives at Columbus, O., resigned that position recently to accept a position in the office of the secretary of state. Mr. Doll has a brilliant record for excellent service rendered the Republican party in Ohio. He has been a member of the Ross county and Eleventh congressional district organization for a number of years. Southern League's Reception. The twenty-third annual Easter reception of the Southern Beneficial league, which is scheduled to take place at Grand Central Palace, New York city, on Easter Monday night, promises to be one of the leading events of the spring season. The league has a large membership and is strong financially. Nearly every southern state is represented in its membership, and it has done good work in organizing resident southern men for mutual protection and social fellowship. We Outnumber Six to One. Recent statistics have it that, with all of its possessions considered, there are six colored persons to every white in the British empire. Whether this surprising number relates to Negroes alone or to other dark skinned races in the empire is not stated. CORSETS IN ANCIENT GREECE. A Playwright Says Cycling Skirts Were Also Common There. The discovery has been made in Paris recently, that the Greeks 2,000 years ago wore corsets and other articles of modern feminine dress, according to the Paris correspondent of the New York Times. Mme. Paquin and Jules Bois disclosed the fact in the latter's play, "La Furie," at the Comedie Francaise, for which the famous dressmaker designed the costumes after consulting some of the oldest records. Jules Bois said to me: "There is really nothing new under the sun. The ordinary conception of Greek dress refers only to certain periods. I know what I am talking about. "I have studied the works of Schliemann on Mycenae and of Evans and De Mosso on the prehistoric epochs. I have made excavations at Knossos and in Crete. I have visited museums. I don't imagine the things I write about. The Grecians of the most ancient periods had modern figures. This is the point I insist upon. Look at the statues of the women, ancient Greek vases and sculptures and you will see ribbons, crinoline, headaddresses, basques and corsets. The cycling skirt was the usual mode at the court of Agamemmon." To prove his points M. Bois had photographs of old sculptures and vases. These are extraordinarily like the modes of 1880. From these Mme. Paquin made the costumes for the play. Of course, this upsets popular ideas about Greek dress, and probably a musical play showing Ulysses in pajamas and Dido in a kimono will be produced on the boulevard as a result. VERY EVIDENTLY HIS FIRST ONE. Young Man Was Proud Parent, and Didn't Care Who Knew It. There was no booth in the corner drug store. The young man at the telephone therefore could be heard by all the customers who ranged about the soda water fountain. His face beamed as he talked. "Everything is all right," he was saying. "Ma'am? "Yes'm. Eleven pounds. Beautiful boy. Like me, they say. "Ma'am? "Yes'm. Resting quietly. Would have sent for you, but thought it best not to. Didn't want to worry you. "Ma'am? "Yes'm. I'll attend to all that. "Ma'am? "Yes'm. I'll tell her you're coming down right away. Beautiful boy. "Ma'am? "Yes'm. Eleven pounds and looks just like me." He rang off and walked proudly out of the drug store apparently oblivious to the smiling countenances of his interested listeners ranged around the soda fountain. Vintage Nicknames. We have nicknames for the vintages which few persons except the wine-drinkers know. Thus the vintage of the present year we call Zeppelin, in honor of the air navigator's achievement and because it is so high. Records show that these nicknames were bestowed on vintages as far back as 1529, when the bad-watered wine was called "Baptist." The sour wine of 1860 was called Garibaldi, and in memory of the Chi- THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. nese war the 1894 wine is still known as Welhaiwei. The vintage of 1896 promised much and gave little, and was nicknamed Li Hung Chang, and another nickname for the same year's wine, Moses, was given because the wine was taken from the water principally.—Munchener Neurichten. Ghosts In Scottish Houses. Scotland is rich in ghost lore. There is, perhaps, hardly a castle or ruin which has not some special story clinging to it, and the strange part of the matter is that many of the legends are substantiated by latter day experiences. Dunrobin castle, the Highland home of the duke of Sutherland, boasts of a haunted room. The specter there is invisible and denotes its presence by an awe-inspiring laugh. The story goes that one of the duke's ancestors caused the chief of a rival clan to be starved to death in his room, visiting him periodically during his sufferings and laughing at his tortures. As punishment for this crime the unscrupulous chieftain has to haunt the room. Old and New. The penny-or two-cent-post between England and America is a new and at the same time a very old thing. It is over 200 years old. It existed in 1698. In those days shipmasters crossing the Atlantic either way were very glad to carry letters and messages. A week or two before their ships sailed they would hang up bags in coffee houses, and all letters dropped into these bags were carried over seas and faithfully delivered at the rate of a penny, or two cents, apiece. Brilliant Project Brought to Naught. In the year 1694 William Patterson, founder of the Bank of Scotland, conceived the grand project of planting on the Isthmus of Darien a British colony which, in his own words, "should secure for Great Britain the keys of the universe, enabling their possessors to give laws to both oceans and to become the arbiters of the commercial world." This colony was actually founded at a place still known as Puerto Escoces, but its people were subsequently forced by the Spaniards to evacuate and return to Scotland. STRONG TOMB RENT BY TREE. Striking Instance of the Great Power of Vegetation. A correspondence calls attention to a curious instance of the mechanical power of vegetation in the out-of-the way churchyard of Tewin, in Hertfordshire. A tree, which has been divided into two or three main stems grows straight out of the tomb of a noble dame who departed this life over two centuries ago, and has rent her gloomy home into pieces. Strangest sight of all, it has wrapped itself round the iron railing which used to guard the grave, and which is thus now almost entirely concealed inside the tree. People come from far and near to see the wonderful sight: and to them is told a story that the quiet inhabitant of this disrupted sepulcher was in her day a lady of very free thinking opinions, and had said she would have placed above her remains a tomb that no person could read—The Scotsman Western University THE LEADING EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION FOR NEGROES IN THE WEST.

Private Forestry in England. Everywhere in England you see private forests planted for profit. England first won her naval supremacy in ships built of English oak trees which were practically planted for the purpose on private estates. Public or state forestry hardly exists in England. Here we commonly think that forestry concerns the government only. A few Americans will plant catalpa, locust, or some other tree crop that matures in seven to fifteen years, but when the passion for enduring things becomes a national trait with us we will plant oaks and other species that require a hundred years or more to mature. Meanwhile, the bureau of forestry at Washington has a plan for co-operating with anyone who has a forest in which profit is the chief consideration.—Garden Magazine. Oldtime Treatment of Maniacs Vienna's "Fools' tower," which is to be replaced by a more modern building, was remarkable for its extraordinary collection of strange instruments and fetters used in the treatment of the insane of past ages. There was a curious machine in which unruly maniacs were swung until they were in a state of stupefaction and therefore quiet. And the same idea caused the invention of a wheel that revolved like that in a modern squirrel cage. There was a narrow upright box called an 'English coffin,' from which the patient could look out, but could not move. When it was built in 1794, the "Fools' tower" marked a great change for the better in the housing of the insane. From 200 to 250 patients occupied its 139 cells. Traces unions are no new invention. Accurate records of their existence in Roman times have been dug up in Pompeii. *Office Phone No. 1423. INSTITUTION FOR NEGROES IN THE NORWEST.

Miss Lida Pate, a graduate of Anu Arbor, died at Lair's sanitarium Sat- urday night of consumption. Her re- mains were shipped to Adrian, Mich., Tuesday by Undertaker Gilmore for burial. She formerly made her home yith Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Waller. She was the first woman of either race to win an oratorical contest in the University of Michigan in competi- tion with men. The A. M. Lawhorn Company of Undertakers bas undergone a change and reorganization. It is now incor: porated under the laws of the state and Is offering its stock on the mar- ket. Mr. Lawhorn retires from the company and Jobn R. Contee is pres- ident. In the future it will be known as the Douglass Undertaking Com- pany. No other changes have been made. German Shipbuilding Depression. During. the year 1908 there were 99 (against 435 in 1907) seagoing steam ships, of an aggregate of 147,270 cross regisior tonnage, built in German ship. yarts; at the close of the year 67 ocean steamships were in course of construction, representing 187,362 ton- nage. Shipbuilding and the shipping trade have not been prospe. -"s In the Jast year. Sia...-iiiaa Business Dull, Great Ui ain maintains an active army of a cuarter million men. She bears also the coct of keeping up an rsanization of 489,000 reserves. Fifty- ve battleships, 103 cruisers, 325 tor- yodo boats and destroyers, 61 subma- ines, nine scout ships and 17 torpedo esinboats, Only 39 vessels were built ia the United States during the month of January, with a total tonnage of 1,824 tons. One-half this total is to be credited to one vessel, otherwise the January additions to our mer- chant marine were small craft, the mosquito flcet of commerce. it is many years since the depression in our ship- building industry was so great. Com- petent observers will not be surprised if the output of merchant tonnage dur- ing the fiscal year, ending July 1 next does not exceed 150,000 tons. But for government work it would be difficult to keep some of the shipyards open.— Boston Transcript. tr Portugal in Hard Straits. It is just a year ago that the double fatality in the royal house of Portugal occurred, when the king and prince were assassinated. The anarchica! fac- tions in Lisbon have been “celebrat- ing” the event. For the royal house the anniversary is particularly sad un- der the circumstances, for the palace has never known a moment's real peace since the day of the tragedy. The efforts which have been made by King Alfonso to promote a union with Spain may be said to be the brightest sign jn the political sky of Portugal just now, though it is not certain that the Spanish monarch will be able to win over the corrupt office-seekers of Lisbon, whose greatest achievement of late years has been to grab all the spoils offering and deplete the national treasury of everything not actually de- manded by the supporters of the pres- ent regime for the expenses of the king's household. Well-Deserved Criticism. “A picture recently published in Munich shows that the peculiar vanity which manifests itself in a desire to be photographed often kills the sense of decency,” says a writer in a Berlin paper. “The picture shows five uni- formed men standing on the smoking ruins of a building. In front of them, propped up against the debris, are eight mutilated corpses. Under the picture is this legend: ‘The Indian coast has been Infested for hundreds of years by Malaga pirates. Recently a body of Europeans, conducted by na- tives, pursued and captured one of these robber bands, whom they bound and cast into a pagoda, which they then blew up with dynamite” The men who posed for a picture, in which they seemed to gloat over the deed, the fruit of which forms the grewsome foreground, were all Europeans.” Comprehensive Recipe, Leech, the famous artist of London Punch, was at his best as an enter tainer in his own house. Dean Hole asked him ene day, after Leech had given him a delectable dinner at his lodgings in Scarborough, how he made such good champagne-cup. “The in- gredients,” he replied, “of which this refreshing beverage is composed, and which is highly recommended by the faculty for officers going abroed and all other persons stopping at home, are champagne, ice and aerated wa- ter; but, in consequence of advancing years, always forger the seltzer.” Q.

PAQE.16 MANITOU NEWS. Mrs. Western is contemplating making improvements. Mr. Harry Stotts of Washington, D. C., is in the resort for the summer. Mrs. Lewis Harper spent a pleasant visit at Mrs. Sugg's, in North Colorado Springs. Mr. Samuel Louis, who spent the summer here last year, has returned from Denver. Mrs. Henriette Patterson is preparing to enlarge her house and expects to put stationary tub in the laundry. Manitou has been asleep ever since October, like the groundhog, but has awakened for the season. The Cliff House is now open. Miss Mary Carter, from Neosho, Mo., who has been stopping with Mrs. P. A. Hubbard for several months, is somewhat indisposed. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. McTehee, from Pueblo, are now at Manitou stopping with Mrs. S. J. Bunker for the summer, and are well pleased with their room and also landlady. Mr. Edward Western, the long-time waiter at the Cliff House, who has spent twenty-five years at that place, returned home from a pleasant four months' trip to Mobile, Ala., for the delight of his wife and friends. Miss Lucy Femilten, who has been stopping with her cousin, Mr. Erend Loveless, is not feeling so well at this writing. Mr. Lewis Harper has made a great deal of improvement around his place. He has added a porch to one or his houses which improves the looks very much, and has painted them. Mrs. P. H. Hubbard has also painted her lower house and is making some improvements around. LADIES, ATTENTION! H. B. Brown, who is the state organizer of the United Brothers of Friendship and the Sisters of the Mysterious Tens, is actively engaged in the formation of clubs to bet set up into Temples of the latter and wishes to get into communication with all women who desire the benefits of this society.

A Magnetic Healer has arrived in the city, and invites the sick and af- THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. flicted to make no delay in calling to see him. Precious Life and Health can be Saved by this that would be Hopeless Under the Old Methods. The Nature of The Disease makes no Difference. It is no longer necessary to suffer the pangs of pain and disease, or die prematurely. The time is now at hand when it is as easy to get well as it is to get sick. Those who are suffering with Stomach Troubles, bad cases of Rheumatism, or any other Lingering Disease, take one treatment of Magnetic healing from the Healer and you shall be convinced that your disease and pains will be turned into health and joy. All this is simply the operation of natural law, and it is not half as wonderful as the fact that you can send your voice along a little wire for thousands of miles, yet no one doubts the telephone, or is astonished at what it accomplishes. Is it strange, then, that a new discovery should be made in the line of physical science as applied to the healing art. PROF. H. G. H. BUTLER, 1123 Welton Street. Phone Mal1 8752.

The census of 1900 gave the total number of farms owned and operate¢ in the United States by Negroes as 746,715, 25 per cent of which they own’ the total number of acres of farm lan¢ tilled 38,233,920 and the value of farm property, including animals, $499,943, 784. The value of farm products fo! 1800 was placed at $255,751,145. If the farm land operated by Negroes wat placed acre to acre it would encircle the globe like a huge belt two miles wide. The farm acreage owned would make a strip of land five miles wide which would reach from New York to San Francisco or would constitute s country larger than Denmark, Belgium or Liberia. The value of one year’s crop is equal to the capital invested in the publica: tion of the 21,394 daily, weekly and monthly newspapers and periodicals fn the United States (1905 report). If would pay for duplicating the land, buildings and machinery equipment oj every brick and tile yard or flour and grist mill in the United States (190¢ report) and is equal to the gross earn: ings of the great street and electric railway systems of the country. To have moved the crops and ant mals reported for.one year would have required approximately 281,293 freight! cars, thirty tons capacity (21 per cent of the total number of revenue cari for the year 1900), and the total length of this unbroken line of cars would have been about 1,865 miles. Duty of Court of Inquiry. William Monroe Trotter, the fearless editor of the Guardian at Boston, re- cently received the following lette from Senator J. B. Foraker: “The Aldrich substitute, which has passed the senate and the house and probably will be signed by the prest- dent before this reaches you, does not require, as you say some one has sug: gested, that the men to make them- selves ‘qualified’ for re-enlistment shall prove their innocence. It simply cre ates a court of inquiry, charged with fhe special duty of pyeees pas the facts and reporting results. In what (way the court will proceed or to what ‘extent and in what manner it will in- ‘vestigate will be determined by the jcourt, but it is to be assumed thet in doing so it will observe and be gov- erned by established rules and princt- pies of procedure. If so, there is no igtound for the slightest apprehension that such an un-American and un- ‘authorized requirement will be made as that any one shall prove his inne- cence.” America’s Pressing Need. “One of the most pressing needs of the United States today,” said Profess- or Charles Zueblin of the University of Chicago ina recent lecture before the Ethical “society at Horticultural hall, Chicago, “is to give the colored Man a chance to be a good colored than.

Tunes of Old Time Melodies Caught In the Air—Miss Effle E. Grant of New Haven, Conn., Destined to Rank High In Musical World. ' -_ | The Negro race has the reputation of | being gifted musically, and we are not |inclined to doubt the truthfulness of the statement. From the old planta- tion melodies the race has sung and played its way into the leading con- servatories of music in the United States and in Europe. The old time ‘melodies were born of meditation while the race was passing through great affliction and severe trials in bondage. They knew no scales nor time nor harmony. They caught their tunes in the air as they looked heav- enward, prayed to God and longed for deliverance. What a great change time has wrought! The banjo, fiddle and jewsharp have been supplanted by the violin, piano and organ. Many oi our young men and women have graduated from some of the best conservatories of music in America, while some have gained distinction in their studies abroad. A young woman of great promise in the field of music today is Miss Effie E. Grant of Yale Conservatory of Music at New Haven, Conn. In the recent musical recital which Miss Grant gave at Warner hall, New Haven, she was assisted by Miss Helen E. Hagan of the Yale Con- servatory of Music, Miss Pearl Tatten of Ansonia, Conn., and Mr. R. P. Ham- lin of Brooklyn. Miss Grant appeared several times and was liberally applauded. She played a transcription of Haydn's “With Verdure Clad” (“Creation”) with marked ability, Grieg’s “The. Two Brown Eyes” and “The Swan,” by the same author. Serenata (G. Braga) and “To Spring,” Chaminade, were rendered with ease, All the music used at the recital was from standard works of classical composers. If Miss Grant continues she will some day rank with the world’s great musicians of any race or clime. There is a large number of young people in New Ha- ven who have taken to music as a profession, and those whose good for- tune it was to attend Miss Grant’s re- cital doubtless went away encouraged and inspired to stop at nothing shorter than the best possible equipment for their chosen profession.

When two East enders met on a car bound downtown on a recent muggy morning and engaged in conversation, the other passengers were under the impression for a time that they were listening to a discussion in Esperanto or Volapuk. It ran something like this: "Yes, dice bordi'g—dot." "What's dew?" "Dot a thi'g. Adythi'g dew id your lide?" "Dot a blabed thi'g." "How you feeli'g this bordi'g?" "Od de bub." "So ab I.

The country to the southeast of Tekar, in Africa, is the home of the Hasas; the Hadendoas occupy the khors to the south and the plateau to the southwest. Both of these are black Arabs, speaking different languages. The Hasas live almost entirely on sour milk, while the Hadendoas are agricultural as well as pastoral. Their dokhn and durra, milletlike grains, were ripening in February and being protected from countless swarms of small birds by men who stood on elevated platforms, from which they cracked loudly large whips with palm leaf lashes 20 feet long. The dress of these Arabs is a cotton sheet held in by a belt in which they carry crooked knives. For other weapons they use sticks, spears and swords. Firearms are prohibited. Judging by the many scars borne by the men the pastoral life is by no means so peaceful as the poets would lead us to think. Many of the scars come from duels, in which the men cut each other alternately in the back till one cries "Enough!" Hash. Some people find fault when eating hash because they don't know what is in it. Such souls are simply trying to dodge happiness. Would anybody ever start upon a journey if they knew the cars were going to leave the track, or that the bridge was sure to collapse? No, indeed. Would lovers of hash ever order that most toothsome viand were it not for the delightful uncertainty attached to it—the compelling mystery in which it is wrapped? Why be wise when perfect happiness lies in ignorance? Hash has stood the test of time, and, whatever it is made of, history has yet to place a calamity at its door. Wine has caused the head to rise above the church steeples; pie has ruined the digestive apparatus and hot biscuits have brought the price of nightmares down to a surprisingly low figure; but hash THE STATESMAN. DENVEF. COLORADO. plain, regular, inoffensive hash, has gone on down the ages and left nothing in its wake but a fond memory and a sweet taste in the mouth. Why worry? Phenomena Awed Europe. Europe and Asia were covered by fog during the summer of 1783. Says Gilbert White (letter 109): "The summer of the year 1783 was an amazing and a portentous one . . . for, besides the alarming meteors and tremendous thunderstorms . . . the peculiar haze, or smoky fog, that prevailed for many weeks in this island (England) and in every part of Europe, and even beyond its limits, was a most extraordinary appearance. The heat was intense. Calabria and part of the Isle of Sicily were torn and convulsed with earthquakes." Cowper also refers to this phenomenon, in speaking of "nature, with a dim and sickly eye." In and Out of Focus. "I beg a thousand pardons," said the man with the strange eyes, "for not speaking to you the moment I entered the room. I will tell you why. When I enter a room it is almost impossible for me to recognize anybody for a few minutes. My eyes won't focus. When I was a child I had a serious illness. When I finally recovered, my eyes were in this condition, and have remained so ever since." But just the same she noticed that when the waiter passed with the punch his eyes focused on it correctly every time. The Kiddies. The increasing respect for children is beginning to make itself felt on all sides. Little boys and girls are no longer put off with careless words and second rate toys. They are studied with constant thought by parents, scientists devise their playthings, and literary and artistic "celebrities" make the books. Of these things modern children are not unappreciative. If they are growing hypercritical in some directions they are becoming very tolerant in others, and not infrequently they understand their parents' little shortcomings much better than do those humiliated "elders" themselves. Philadelphia Record. a miner at an ambulance lecture in Elphinstone, East Lothian, Scotland, recently. The lecturer had stated that if suffocation from choking was likely to ensue, the simplest remedy to give relief till medical aid arrived was to take a fine-pointed pen-knife and make a small incision in the throat. One of the miners then shouted: "Yedinna ken Elphinstone folks. If I was to try that the morn, here's what wad happen: If that man died his folk wad hae me prosecuted for murder, and if he got better he himself would be the first to prosecute me for cutting his throat." Warned of Father's Death. There was a peculiar coincidence in connection with the sudden death of the Alkham (Kent, England) village blacksmith, Mr. James Pay. His daughter, who was in service with a doctor in a neighboring village, went to her mistress on the day of her father's death, stating that she had a feeling that she must go home. As the girl seemed anxious, her mistress allowed her to go, and she arrived home in time to witness the death of her father, 20 minutes after he had been working at his forge. Not in the Work for Money. Gypsy Smith, the evangelist, recently held services in Kansas City. A report that he receives $20,000 a year for preaching; the gospel reached him, and he promptly issued a strong denial. "My salary is not one-fourth of $20,000 a year," he said. "It is a most modest salary. People would be surprised if they knew what my salary is. I am not out to make money. I could make a lot more money than I do if I were to make my own plans instead of having them made for me. I have had offers on the lecture platform that would take four or five years of my time in this country alone." Defense of Canned Products. That foods properly canned do not deteriorate with age was a statement made at a dinner of canners in Chicago a few days ago. "Suppose a customer desired a can of corn on February 22, 1920," said one of the speakers, "and was given corn canned in 1909. It would be rejected with a demand for 'something fresher,' and, although the 1909 article would be found as fresh as that of 1920 it would be lost. At a recent banquet in London canned fruit taken from the ruins of Pompeii was found to be fresh and fine. There should be a law to compel the canning of all products in such a manner that they would keep for ages." Where Robin Feels at Home. "For some time past," writes a correspondent from Nantwich, "a robin has used our house for meals. We have only to open the window and call 'Bob,' when he flies at once into the room." His favorite dining room is the nursery, and if the window is closed he will try every other window, and when he has found one open will fly through the house to the nursery. If he finds all the windows closed he flies about until he has found a room where someone is sitting, when he will tap at the window until it is opened. — London Daily Mall. The I honograph In China.

NOTICE Douglass, Ariz., March 29, 1909. Mr. C. A. Franklin, Editor. Dear Sir: I use this method to give notice to the brethren and members of the Colorado Annual Conference that the saddest news ever borne to me came last Saturday, a notice of the death of my beloved mother. She departed this life the 19th inst., in her 59th year, at Mobile, Ala. She left earth for heaven with her face radiant with smiles and her heart aglow with saintly joy. Mother was one of the sweetest and best women; she was hospitable, an advocate of pure womanhood and a self-sacrificing and devoted mother. One son, one daughter and five grandchildren will mourn her death. Because of constant travel and frequent changes from place to place, so much demanded by this district work, this very sad message never reached me until nine days later. Her radiant smiles I could not see; But her devotion and love for me Shall ever with me abide; And while she at heaven's gate. There for those she loves await. She will see me by her side. W. H. PRINCE. IN MEMORIAM In kind remembrance of my husband, Henry W. Wade, who departed this life, April 4, 1908. MARY E. WADE.

It was later confirmed by letter, and now the Doctor is the cynosure of all eyes. Mrs. McClain is doing well. John Carroll Porter, the tireless and unyielding church worker, who has been indisposed for the past ten days, was compelled to leave for Kansas City Wednesday to be at the bedside of his aged father. Mr. Porter's father is well known to many Denver people, who hope and pray his speedy recovery. After a long anxious search, Mrs. A. S. Goodel of Fort Collins has located her son, James E. Alexander, known among the boys as "Daisy." A direct message came from him in San Jose de Guatemala, Central America. He is doing well and will reach this country about April 15.

"That governmental difficulty," he said, "was great—as great as the difficulty of Lincoln's farm hand. "Two farm hands, Lincoln used to say, were set upon by a huge bull while crossing a rocky field. One managed to gain a tree. The other took refuge in a hole that proved to have an exit in the rear. "The man who had chosen the hole was no sooner in at one end than he was out at the other. With a bellow the bull made for him. He turned and again shot like lightning through the hole. The bull once more bore down upon him, and once more he was in and out of his hole. "This strange pursuit kept up some ten minutes or more. At first it mystified the farm hand up in the tree. Then it angered him. "'Hey,' he shouted, 'ye danged nincompoop, why don't ye stay in the hole?" "The bull was dashing from one end of the hole to the other at great speed, and the man was bobbing in and out desperately. He heard, however, his comrade's shout and found time before his next brief disappearance to shout back: "'Danged nincompoop yerself! There's a bear in the hole!'"—Chicago Journal. MR. GOSLINGTON IS SENSITIVE. Can Stand a Man's Snubs, But Hates to Be Ignored by a Woman. "I don't suppose I ought to be so sensitive," said Mr. Goslington. "but it seems to be the way I'm built. I can stand being snubbed by a man, but it hurts my feelings to be ignored by a woman. "This morning coming in at a door through which from within I was about to go out was a woman. When I saw her coming I of course opened the door for her as politely as I could and stood back to let her pass. "Did she as she passed through thank me or graciously incline her head to me or by any token acknowledge my deference to her? By not so much as the bat of an eye or the quiver of an eyelash; she simply ignored me; she passed me by as if I had been the knob on the door instead of the man holding the door open for her. "Do you know that jarred on me, Hurt my feelings sorter. I don't suppose I ought to be so sensitive, but I seem to be built that way." Prehistoric Oyster Shells. That the oyster was in common use by primeval men has been conclusively shown by the discovery in the "kitchen middens" of Denmark of many thousands of oyster shells, showing every evidence of having been artificially opened. In ancient Greece, also, the oyster appears to have been a recognized delicacy, for Dr. Henry Schlieman, the eminent German archaeologist, in his historic search for the ancient and somewhat mythical city of Troy, found many oyster shells in the ruins of the five prehistoric settlements of Hissarlik. But it was Rome in the height of her power and opulence that, by singling out the oyster as the piece de resistance of the Roman banqueting halls, conferred upon the oyster its just title as one of the most delicious and appetizing foods within the grasp of man.

What is the longest word in the language? Says the London Chronicle: "The honors in English appear to rest between 'antidisestablishmentariansim' and 'honorificabilitudinity,' the former word scoring 28 letters and ten syllables, as against 22 letters and 11 syllables in the latter. Two other words, 'disintellectualization' and 'incircumscriptibleness,' may be commended to police inspectors in search of fresh tests of sobriety. These words are, of course, easily surpassed even in England by 'isometricmonitronamidobenzonphytlamides' and other gems of scientific phraseology; while if we cross the German ocean we find innumerable instances of 13-syllabled words, such as 'suelpaardelooszonderspoorwegpetroolyting,' the Dutch for 'motor car.'" Works of Art Were Spurious. The curator of the museum at Brussels has just been pursuing an interesting claim in the Belgian courts. In May last Mme. Bouriant, the widow of an Egyptologist, offered to the museum two scarabs with inscriptions, which the lady claimed related to a voyage on the coast of Africa referred to by Herodotus. The curator purchased the scarabs for $2,000, and, as may be imagined, they created a great deal of interest in the learned world the final judgment of which was that the so-called antiquities were forgeries. M. Capart, the curator, has sued the widow for the return of the purchase price, and the courts have decided in his favor. MRS. A. M. POPE-TURNBO. MRS. L. L. ROBERTS. A No "Peaceful" Boycott There. This significant news item relative to the ending of the Chinese boycott against Japanese goods was printed in a Shanghai newspaper: "Although order has been restored in Hongkong, the fear struck into the hearts of owners and employes of shops in Canton and Macao selling Japanese goods has been such, owing to the conduct of the secret society men in Hongkong, that in both cities the shops in question have taken down their sign boards. The 'Do or Die' men have, however, given out that they are ready to cut off the ears of all offenders the moment they are discovered trafficking in the forbidden goods." 4 years ago my hair was only a 4 years ago my hair just covered finger-length, and my temples my shoulders. were bald half way up my head. When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qualities, all lengths, and all conditions of hair, even to the growing of hair on bald places of the head, many persons scorned the idea that such a thing was possible; but we have grown the hair for hundreds, rapidly achieving success. The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that "theirs is the same" or "just as good") or referred to "PORO." We advise you to use only "PORO" Hair Grower, (the oldest and best of its kind). See that the name "PORO" is on every box, not genuine without it. Prepared only by MRS. A M. POPE.

WE HAVE PROVED OUR WORTH John C. Minkins Says Oppression Cannot Keep the Negro Down. The speech of John C. Minkins, the Afro-American writer on the Providence (R. I.) News-Democrat, which he delivered recently before the Union Bceum at New Bedford, Mass., rings with courage, ambition and patriotism. He said: "We have abundant reason to look hopefully to the future as we look with pride at the past. We are rising. Every new attempt at oppression is but an incentive to renewed effort. Hostile legislation is emancipating us from dependent employees into independent business men, from tenants to landlords, from beggars to contributors. "But we are not content. We demand a fair field, a square deal and no favors in this land of boasted freedom and equal opportunity. We have proved our worth by every manly test, with sword and pen, with brain and brawn. We have won our way to world championships. And we have yet to draw the color line. We demand to be measured by what we can achieve in friendly co-operation or in rivalry with the best the world affords. We demand the chance to stand or fall on our merits. We are no longer the nation's wards. We are becoming the nation's warders. "We have seen twenty Negro slaves landed at Jamestown before Plymouth rock was touched by pilgrim feet grow into 10,000,000 freemen. We have seen their descendants prominent in every war, whether for colonial independence, to preserve the Union or to liberate millions in the Antilles or the Philippines. We have seen them patriotically baring breasts to shot and shell, saber stroke and bolo, perishing by thousands, but always keeping the old flag, symbol of a nation's honor, from trailing in the dust. We have seen them as ministering angels in the fever camps and hospitals, as devoted teachers in the schools, professors in the colleges and universities, preachers and theologians, doctors, authors and publishers, inventors, Chautauqua orators, congressmen, ministers plenipotentiary and occupying thousands of offices within the gift of government. And we have yet to see a Negro traitor! "We still cheer the black heroes who saved Roosevelt from Spanish bullets at San Juan Hill. We wept with them when dismissed by him 'without honor,' and we supported his successor for the office of president. We have yet to breed an assassin, an anarchist or an ingrate. "We have abundance of gratitude, Christian charity, meekness, patience, courage, self sacrifice and loyalty. We have only the most glorious recollections from Crispus Attucks to Mingo Saunders. Our past is secure. But those who have lived and died will have done so in vain if we do not improve the heritage they have left us. We are ambitious that our descendants may be as proud of the victories we win in peace as we are of those our ancestors won in war. Our faces are set toward the morning; our hands are on the plow. We shall not turn back, but press on resolutely to new victories, new honors and the fulfillment of divine prophecy when Ethiopia's hands shall not be stretched forth in vain." Afro-American Churches. The most recent statistics and reports relating to the Afro-American churches, their number, membera THE STATESMAN. DENVER.

The Armstrong association, at Philadelphia, which has for its object the improvement of industrial conditions among Afro-Americans, especially those in skilled mechanical trades, issued the following statement recently: Up to the present the association has been successful in getting in touch with more than 200 Negro mechanics, including carpenters, bricklayers, plasterers, cement workers, roofers, lathers, electricians, engineers, machinists, painters, paperhangers and decorators, excavators and stonemasons and various other mechanical trades. It has sought to organize these men into trade guilds, not labor unions, whose purpose is to raise the standard of efficiency among Negro workmen, to assist one another in getting work and to act as a general industrial bureau of information. So far the success of this organization has been surprising. Through its efforts more than $20,000 worth of work has been secured for Negro mechanics, being about 100 different jobs, employing more than 150 different men. It has done work for the Union Insurance company of Third and Walnut streets, for J. Henry Scattergood of Haverford, for John T. Emlen of Germantown, Miss Ellen Morris, for the Octavia Hill association, for the city of Philadelphia and for other persons and institutions. It has done practically all of the large building and repairing among the colored people in the past few months. It has altered and repaired the new Negro bank building on Lombard street, the new building of the largest Negro insurance company, the Keystone Aid society, Sixteenth and Lombard streets; the new building of the Morris Loan and Investment company, also on Lombard street; the Elks' clubhouse, etc., and it now is one of the bidders for the new Carnegie library to be built for the Institute For Colored Youth at Cheyney, Pa. Knowing the prejudice of the general public against Negro mechanics, the association has made it a point to get hold of competent men and to recommend only the best mechanics among them, and it has been successful in finding many thoroughly competent Negro mechanics. The president of the carpenters' branch of the Armstrong association was the superintendent of the building of Pennsylvania hall of the Downingtown school. He was also for many years employed in the school operations of John D. Rockefeller and was a foreman on the Rockefeller hall at Bryn Mawr college and also at the University of Chicago, the Virginia Union university, Richmond, Va.; the Spellman seminary, Atlanta, Ga., and other institutions. Its plumber had charge of the plumbing at Bryn Mawr college for a number of years. Another one of its carpenters was a foreman on the Panama canal up to six months ago. The president of the plasterers' branch employs a group of from ten to twenty plasterers and at present has a contract for over 140 houses to be plastered. One of its bricklayers is now doing under contract the brickwork for ten houses in West Philadelphia. Several of its men are graduates of Hampton and Tuskegee institutes. One was the head of the electrical department in Tuskegee institute, a graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Another was a teacher in the industrial department in Clark university, and still another refused a position as teacher in Tuskegee institute, desiring rather to follow his trade at prac- Denver's Favorite Pleasure Resort Whirl pool, chess checkers and other pastime games 1859 Champa Street --- --- HELP US BE PROMPT.

Whatever may be the outcome of the present tariff readjustment, one thing is certain, the Republican party will have made an attempt to redeem its promise to relieve some of the inequalities of the present schedules. Nothing shows better the power of righteous agitation than this for it is only a decade since the party was considered to be the uncompromising champion of high import duties, and the higher the better. The burden of taxes does rest unequally. The necessities of life bear too large a share of the government maintenance. The Republican party as sponsor for the protection idea, can institute this reform better than any other, and at the same time can preserve the essentials which have made this a great nation. There are those who claim that the day of usefulness of the old parties is past. Whether their sole aim now is the furtherance of the cause of the "interests" or not, the Republican party for one, is on trial. A real readjustment of the tariff is the popular demand. Let the party measure up to the standard of its past greatness and a long life is still before it. Let it fail, and the dark shadow of dissolution will draw near. The legislature draws to a close. Unwept, unhonored and unsung it will go down in the state's history. with a brilliant array of promises, endorsed by the majority vote of the state, Democracy entered upon power the first of the year and now with three months hardly past it is discredited by its own party papers. The platform on which it was elected is unequivocal in its advocacy of certain measures, and it has not kept faith in enacting these into law. In other issues we have pointed out a failure to keep fait hwith its workers who happen to be members or our race. It is an old charge against Democracy that however good men it may have to diagnose the public ills, it is-impotent to apply the remedy. Colorado certainly is offering a signal example of impotency, and we confess to considerable curiosity as to the result of the reform measures which that party promised. The real need of a Y. M. C. A. becomes more apparent with each passing day. Denver needs the very best new citizenship. To win it requires PAGE.8. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. KLIN, Editor. MS. ths .....$1.00 Three months ..$ .50 Colorado, as second class mailmatter. more than fine climate and good wages. The loss of positions and prestige in this city is steady and constant. Let the hopes we so fondly cherish of our ultimate success, not blind us to the cold, unfeeling truth that we have not kept pace with competition. Asiatic labor makes the white man tremble. Well may we fear it who have hardly held our own before it entered the field. So it is that we need the Y. M. C. A. as one of the very best agents in the maintenance of a high standard in our community. Its presence here is an invitation to good people everywhere to come among us. In a similar way the rallies now being held by the churches are of importance even to non-church-goers. It is an undeniable fact that the churches are an economic factor in the community no less than a religious one. Every dollar given to them will return many fold, and not alone to the members but to all. It is unnecessary to ask the support of members for this cause, but we do call attention to this in the hope that all may help the worthy public soul-saving and character-building agencies among us. ALLIANCE HAS ELECTION OF OFFICERS SUNDAY. After having read the article of a Chicago professor on "Anthropology," in which it incidentally stated ere long a Negro would be the president of the United States and after a thorough discussion, the Alliance heard Miss Cora Karr deliver "Plato's Philosophy on Immortal Life," which was very well rendered and the effect was keenly felt. It was announced by the president under no circumstances would he be a candidate for re-election. The election of officers will be Sunday, and many candidates are in the field.
