SAMUEL SCORES HEAVILY SOUNDING THE ALARM TWENTIETH YEAR SAMUEL S To the Editor: Sir—Your editorial in your issue of April 3rd is timely, and you state correctly the position which the Negro NOW occupies in this country—a position at once humiliating and degrading to a race which has played so important a part in working out "our scheme of government." At the very beginning of this government the plan to eliminate the Negro was hatched, and it has grown and developed to such proportions that it cannot be changed unless ALL the Negroes and the whites, who believe in equal justice for all men irrespective of race, begin NOW to unite in a universe' protest against the present unjust, unfair and unreasonable attitude of the governing race toward the Negro—an attitude which says, as plainly as words can say, to every Negro in this land: "Though the constitution says you are a citizen, you are not as good as a white citizen, we do not regard you as an equal citizen and we will not permit you to enjoy the same political rights and advantages as ourselves." This fallacy if not contradicted in time and removed from the intellectual or political life of our people, must eventually totally corrupt their spiritual life, because the spirit of democracy will take flight and in time soon to come our democratic form of government will be either a soulless shell or an illusion of the past. Prof. Kelly Miller, one of the ablest and most erudite scholars of which either race in this country can boast, has written a book called "Race Adjustment," which I have not as yet seen, but which I assume, judging from what I already know of Prof. Miller's views on this question, as expressed in other writings of his which I have read, is a discussion of the problem which immediately confronts us at this time. The Negro in America cannot successfully discuss what he calls his rights until he has some rights to discuss.

They have been determined, too, that no amount of service, affection and devotion from Negroes shall let them escape from this dangerous character which at any moment could precipitate destruction upon them. Now let me state the case simply: A white family owning a large estate has a family of black servants. The black servant could enter the white family and inherit the estate only through intermarriage. So long as he is not married into the family he can have no right in the estate which is entailed to white blood only. Hence to keep him and his out of hereditary rights in the estate, law against miscegenation are passed. Miscegenation is purposely ridiculed, defamed, outlawed and devised against. A single drop of Negro blood in the line of inheritance, a single child of mixed white and black blood in a white house or heir to a white estate could not be allowed, as such a correspondent—a man without either political character. As such he has and can acquire no hereditary rights. Now the problem of hereditary rights was the cause of enslaving the Negroes. The whites needed strong labor. But the estate of the country they meant to keep entailed to whites. Neither Negroes nor Indians could be employed as free men without their ever increasing descendants acquiring the precious hereditary rights. Foreseeing that from natural increase of population whites, blacks and Indians in the course of generations would multiply in such numbers as to become competitors for estate in and business in the country, a provision was made that neither Indians nor Negroes should ever be such competitors with whites for possessions. THIS PROVISION WAS SLAVERY—a condition in which the black man neither has nor can have anything whatever. The Indian was offered either slavery, exile or extinction—taking extinction. A free man he could not be without his descendants competing with whites. When the question of bringing over the much-needed Negro slaves was first opened, those who became slave holders were as much opposed to slavery as any Northern abolitionist was. But they remembering the law of Malthis and the law of entail, forced the question of what should be the future of the multiplied millions of descendants of the Negro slaves and of the whites, when at some distant day both white and black population should exceed the means of the country. They saw that there was but one way to keep the descendants of Negroes from ever inheriting in the land and that was to hold them as SLAVES—and slaves for this exclusive purpose they made and held them. The failure of the confederacy was the greatest misfortune that ever befell the Negro, but they are far from yet seeing it.

Continued on page 13 FIVE CENTS A COPY The Negro's Citizenship. Its Origin and Growth Result of Civil War. Zigzag Position of Republican Convention of 1868 Which Nominated General Grant. In his "Twenty Years of Congress" Hon. James G. Blaine gives the following sketch of the origin and growth of Negro suffrage, which sketch is interesting at this time because of the proposition to place such restrictions upon the suffrage that thousands of colored and others voters will be disfranchised. frage in the constitution of the United States. The evasive and discreditable position in regard to suffrage taken by the national Republican convention that nominated General Grant in 1868 was keenly felt and appreciated by the members of the party when subjected to popular discussion. There was something so obviously unfair and unmanly in the proposition to impose Negro suffrage on the southern states by national power and at the same time to leave the northern states free to decide the question for themselves that the Republicans became heartily ashamed of it long before the political canvass had closed. When congress assembled immediately after the election of General Grant there were found to be a common desire and a common purpose among Republicans to correct the unfortunate position in which the party had been placed by the national convention, and to that end it was resolved that suffrage as between the races should by organic law be made impartial in all the states of the Union, north as well as south. Various propositions were at once offered both in the senate and house to amend the constitution of the United States in order to attain impartial suffrage. It was both significant and appropriate that the draft proposed by Mr. Henderson of Missouri was taken as the basis of the amendment first reported to the senate. In the preceding congress when the fourteenth amendment was under consideration (in the spring of 1866) Mr. Henderson had proposed substantially the same provision and had solemnly warned his Republican associates that, though they might reject it then, it would be demanded of them in less than five years. This declaration was all the more suggestive and creditable coming THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Curry Institute Makes Progress. Industrial Schoo! Founded kn a Shed Kitch. on by Professor E. W. B. Curry Do- lag Good Work For Young Afro- Americans at Urbana, 0. eee eae eee The building of institutions of learn- ing for the education of young colored men and women by members of their own race has been one of the most en- couraging features of the progress of the Negro race in the United States since the close of the war of the re- bellion. True it is that they have been successful in business, agricultural pursuits, politics to some extent and along some special lines, but the foun- dation upon which his present status rests, the encouragement and inspira- tion which have given him his present prestige and upon which his future hopes and aspirations must depend, is in the education of the masses of his people. That the Negro has contributed large- ly toward his own education in the founding and fostering of schools and colleges is a fact well known to the white people of America. The slogan a few decades ago was, “Go west, young man.” I[t doubtless meant for greater commercial development particularly, but with the great industrial awaken- ing aroused by this prophetic advice came the necessity for better educa- tignal facilities among all classes of people. “ A young man who heeded the gath- ering cry, noted the signs of the times and caught the tide at its flood was E. W. B. Curry, who at the age of sev- enteen years founded what is now known as the Curry Normal and In- dustrial institute, which is located at Urbana, O. This school had its hum- ble beginning in a shed kitchen, 12 by 14 feet, at Delaware, O., which was the property of one Isaac Meriday, on : 4 f g uy 2 ak eee me: J Re ” ea m oat ; | See Tiga. a ya i ay oe ae di aN ry, ‘ ; IAS ON | ; ete ae Meee a DRESSMAKING DEPARTMENT. enter e ee David street, which Professor Curry| cially acknowled rented for 50 cents per month.

In 1895 the school was removed to Mechanicsburg, 0O., and again in 1897 to its present site at Urbana, where it has grown into one of the most flourishing institutions of learning for the colored people of that section. Professor Curry believes in the trio training—namely, that of Fog oe ce ed ‘. a re ia 4 rae. - = ae con i Wa: ae ES i ed cs f & —— : ‘ \ e 2 Pe oe Oc Eh See SHOEMARING DEPARTMENT the heart, head and hand—and to that end he has surrounded himself with teachers who possess a firm Christian character, wel! prepared by training and experience, whose lives express a burning desire to make something real out of each student who comes tc the institution for development. There are twelve teachers employed by the school. The business end of the af- fairs is looked after by a board of trustees composed of representative ‘men of experience, who have the best interest of the institute at heart. The board recently purchased seventy-five acres of splendid farm land four miles south of Urbana, on the Springfield pike, at a cost of $90 per acre. Money is now being raised to finish payment for the farm and to erect suitable school buildings, which are needed for the extension of the work at the pres- ent time. Contributions in any amount “will be thankfully received and offi- clally acknowledged upon receipt of the same. English literature, Bible school, music, carpentry, blacksmithing, shoemaking, dressmaking, millinery, cement paving, agriculture, domestic science, printing and other subjects are taught. Pro- fessor Curry says: “We are badly in heetl Just now OF iUu cnairs, two sew- ing machines, two typewriting ma- chines and two bookcases.

He studied law in the firm of Merclott & Wickham for two years and attributes much of the success which has come to him to the training and advice which he received from Lawyer Marriott and Judge Wickham. Few men have had a harder struggle upward In building a great school with as little help and with as little noise as has Professor E. W. B. Curry. He can do many things and do them well As an orator, educator, author and publisher he ranks among the fore. most men of the race, and as a great advocate of the temperance cause his addresses are brimful of logic, elo quently expressed. His even tenor of life and sincere devotion to racial {n- terests place his work at the Curry Normal! and Industrial institute upon a high and dignified plane. One who would found an Institution for the transforming of the human, as it were, into the angelle must know that the lessons of endurance taught in a gravel pit, a harvest field, a stone quarry, swamps, mud, rain, snow and the like are those alone that will test the stuff out of which a man is made and present him worthy of the critic's highest commendation. It does not matter what duties the day may bring —let it be an address before a cultured audience, the cleaning of schoolrooms, chopping wood, instructing a class at the blackboard, canvassing strangers for money to continue the work—It {« all, as Professor Curry regards tt, con- nected with the business of a builder, and it 1s a pleasure to him to be tn- trusted with such a part of the educa- tion of his race, Society of Thrifty Women. The Ladies’ auxiliary of the Soctety of the Sons of Virginia at Brooklyn, N. Y., 1s one of the most influential mutual benefit organizations among Afro-American women in the north. Its business is conducted by an able set of officers, headed by Mrs. Jennie Stewart as president. The member- ship has grown steadily within the past six months and {fs still increasing. PAGE. 10. The newly elected officers for 190v. who were recently installed, are as follows: Mrs. Jennie Stewart, presl- dent; Mrs. Alice W. Wiley, vice presi- dent; Miss Cora L. Robinson, financial secretary; Mrs. H. L. Brown, assistant secretary; Mrs. Josephine Dabney, re- cording secretary; Mrs. Louis Hall, as- sistant recording secretary; Mrs, An- nie Durrell, treasurer; Mrs. Patsy Parigo, chaplain; Mrs, Adelia Ladson, marshal. After the installation ceremony was over refreshments were served, and a social time was enjoyed. MARKED GROWTH OF Y. W. C. A, West Fifty-third Street Branch at New | York Has Capable Officers. _ The growth in membership, interest, finance and personal helpfulness to the members of the West Fifty-third street branch of the Young Women's Christiun association at New York ts very encouraging. The executive com- mittee and subcommittees are headed by capable women, who have the best interest of the work at heart and who are striving to make the association a place of social purity, culture and re finement for the members and the many strangers and visitors who come to the city from time to time. At the recent Easter exercises the assembly rooms were crowded at an early hour. The opening was con- ducted by Mrs. Emma 8. Ransoin. Mrs. Virginia BE. Scott was in charge of the program, which included these numbers; Chorus, “Conquering King,” by Y. W. C. A. choir; Miss Elizabeth Edwards, Mrs. Maggie Clay, Miss Hat- tle Montague, Miss Lula Gales, Miss Hodsden, Miss Eugenia Ezelle, Miss Loraine Briggs, Mrs. R. ‘Seon, Mrs. R. 'L. Cox in solos, and recitations were given by Mrs. M. R. Tate, Miss Gussie Hunter, Miss Martha Venable, Mrs. 'F. Miles, Mrs, M. L. Carter. Mrs. V | E. Scott and Miss Aramanthea Hods- den were the accompanists. Charles Bi and Mr. Simeon were the violin- ist and cornetist respectively. ENTHUSIASM FOR Y. M. C. A. Se Oe ne ae ne ee ee ee ee te Miss Effie E. Grant Appreciated. Interest is at high pitch in the forth- coming spring recital of the Carlton avenue branch of the Young Men's Christian association, which is to be held at Memorial hall, Flatbush ave- nue and Schermerhorn street, Brook- lyn, on Thursday evening, April 20. Joseph H. Douglass, grandson of [red- erick Douglass, will be one of the chief attractions on the occasion. The Bos- ton Globe said not long ago: “The most finished violin performer of the colored race is Joseph H. Doug- lass, grandson of the late Irederick Douglass of Washington. The young man has a worldwide reputation as a violinist. He inherited his talent for the violin from his grandfather, who was a great lover of the instrument and was himself a violinist of consid- erable ability, as was also his son, Charles Douglass, father of Joseph.” Miss Effie E. Grant, a soprano sing- er of the Yale Conservatory of Music at New Haven, Conn., will also make her first appearance before a Brooklyn audience. Other prominent artists tnk- ing part will be H. L. Pryor, dramatic reader, of New York; Hollis Smith, the wonderful boy soprano; the Academy Male Quartet, Albert 8. Williams, the able pianist; William R. Smith, tenor soloist, and Professor J. F. R.

Influence of a National Anthem. “After the siege of the Pekin lega- tions » dozen Russian soldiers bent on loot and outrage raided the house in which one of my band boys lived with his mother and sister,” Sir Rob- ert Hart said at a dinner at the Au- thors’ club. “The boy snatched his violin and played the Russian national anthem and the looters stood at at- tention. Then they left the house without molesting anyone.” A Debtor's Woes. “The worst thing about owing peo- ple,” sighed the woman, “is that it seems to give them the right to ask us such personal and imp@rtinent ques- tions about things that really should be none of their business.

It pays to be a good waiter in the old country and a maa will often re- main a lifetime with ome house and even at one table, commanding the respect of those he serves.

Although little is heard outside Prussia of capital punishment within the kingdom, the law is by no means a dead letter. Jn seven years there have been 98 executions, ten of the condemned being women. Silesia heads the st with 21 executions, fol- lowed by Brandenburg, Posen and Rhineland. No executions take place in Berlin, the condemned being taken to the prison at Ploetzensee, in Bran- denburg, where they have a standing guillotine, Bering Sea Volcanic Islands. The Bogoslofs are a group of three small volcanic islands in the southern part of Beringsea, and 37 miles north- west of the island of Unalaska. One of these islands, Castle Rock, has been known since 1796; Fire island has been known since 1883, while the third one, Perry island, rose from the sea about the time of the San Fran- cisco earthquake, in 1906. According to a letter to Science, this island has now sunk. Siberia’s Awful Cold. Siberia has the coldest weather known anywhere in the world. At Verkhoyaonsk, Siberia, 90.4 degrees below zero was observed in January, 1888, which goes below anything ever known in the world before or ever since. At that point the average tem- perature for January {s nearly 64 de grees below zero. This town is 330 feet above the level of the sea, and during the entire winter the weather is calm and clear. Land and Nautical Miles. In considering the speed of a steam- ship, it must be remembered that a knot, or nautical mile, is a very dif. ferent thing from a land mile. A mile {s 5,280 feet, while a knot is 6.080 feet and a fraction. Therefore, when a vessel makes 23.05 knots an hour, she passes over very nearly 27 land miles. Ancient Artificial Eyes. Artificial eyes were first made use of by the Egyptians; they were of gold and silver and subsequently of cop- per and fvory. Hundreds of years later, in the sixteenth century, when they were made in Europe, porcelain was the substance used, and the ma- ker usually stamped his address on the white of the eye. Beautify! The city beautiful movement should appeal to every householder in this community.

H. H. Jones, the pastor, excelled himself in his diverance of our Easter sermon at the morning service. 118 subject was ‘A Resurrected and a Risen Christ,” and was very ably and impressively delivered.

Ashford, Jr., Ros- coe Lewis and Miss Mae Wilson. A silver medal, artistic in every detail, was awarded to the one delivering the best paper. Miss Wilson was uward- ed the prize. Mention must be made of the composition by Wm, Ashford, Jr, which for originality of thought, was most excellent. Each participant acquitted themselves nobly. At the service the tiny tots took a very active part and their pretty songs and recitations were received with pleas- ure. A choir composed of young misses and led by Mrs. H. H. Jones rendered music for the occasion. Paster Sunday had been set apart for rally day. Three clubs had been or- yanized and very quietly the captains of clubs worked for the success of their organiation. At the conclusion of the musical recital rendered by the choir on Sunday evening the report of clubs was called for by the pastor. Mrs. Clara G. Ashford, the captain of club No. 1, was enthusiasticany re- ognized as winner, by leading with a report of $62.62. She was closely fol- lowed by Mr. H. C, Jefferson, who re- ported $52.55. The total amount rais- ed during the day, including amounts raised by Sunday schools and public collection, was $172.37. At the con- clusion of service Rev.

The lawful children thereby would in preceaent entail the estate of the country joint- ly to white and black, and anything like one or two million half bloods fixed as heirs to white estates and bound by ties of blood to white and black families would become a natur- ally indissolvable bond of union, and the race question would fade into thin air. So fatal would any precedent be to this entail of the country to white de- scendants alone that not only could it not be afforded that a single mulatto child should ever enter a white 14m- lly, but also mulattoes cannot be suf- fered to grow up in public as mulat- toes. Douglass, Langston, Bruce, Washington, DuBois are all vigilantly called Negroes. There is to lawfully exist no such thing as a mulatto. A lawful mulatto is a Negro’s title deed publicly recorded in mixed blood to the country, and the destruction of ‘this tide, invalidating it, has been the object of all the inhuman outcasting and degrading of mulattoes.

Here is a hint for the women who forget and fret and fuss. Go into the silence at certain times of the day One need not necessarily retire for formal prayer. “He who is in the path of duty needs no prayer,” said a wise oriental. But in the silence you will find the peace and strength of prayer.

I don't know whether he is just good-natured, or was born gr/ nin'!" —Atlanta Constitution. The Angelus. This picture was painted by Malay. It contains a man and a church steeple.

In the Matter of the Estate of Hubert Woolman, Deceased: Notice is hereby given that on the tenth day of May, A. D. 1909, being one of the regular days of the term of the County Court of the City and County of Denver, in the State of Colorado, I, John L. Hilton, administrator of said estate, will appear before the Judge of said Court, present my final settlement as such estate, pray the approval of the same, and will then apply to be discharged as such administrator. At which time and place any person in interest may appear and present objections to the same, if any there be. Dated at Denver, Colorado, April 3d, 1909. JOHN L. HILTON, Administrator of the Estate of Hubert Woolman, Deceased: THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. The Ill-Natured Man. The ill-natured man, though but of equal parts with the good-natured man, gives himself a larger field to expatiate in. He exposes those failings in human nature which the other would cast a wall over; laughs at vices which the other either excuses or conceals; falls indifferently upon friends or enemies; exposes the person who has obliged him; and, in short, sticks at nothing that may establish his character of a wit. According to Hotten, some of the terms denoting inebriety are as follows: Beery, bemused, boozy, bosky, corned, foggy, fou, fresh, hazy, elevated, kisky, lushy, moony, muggy, muzzy, on, screwed, stewed, tight and winy. In an intermediate class stand podgy, beargered, blued, cut, primed, lumpy, plowed, muddled, obfuscated, swipey, three sheets in the wind and topheavy. "But the acme," says the same authority, "is only obtained when the disguised individual 'can't see a hole in the ladder,' or when he is all mops and brooms,' or 'off his nut,' or 'with his main-brace well spliced,' or 'with the sun in his eyes,' or when he has 'lapped the gutter' and 'got the gravel rash,' or 'on the rantan,' or 'on the re-raw,' or when he is 'sewed up,' or 'regularly scammered.'" THE SICK MADE WELL WITH MAGNETIC HEALING. Kind Friends:— A Magnetic Healer has arrived in the city, and invites the sick and afflicted 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 small 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, 1447 Gallipago street (So.

PAGE 2. from a senator who represented a former slaveholding state. And it was not forgotten that Mr. Henderson had with equal zeal and equal foresight been among the earliest to propose the thirteenth amendment. Mr. Henderson's proposition, now submitted and referred to the judiciary committee, was in these words: "No state shall deny or abridge the right of its citizens to vote or hold office on account of race, color or previous condition." It was reported from the judiciary committee by Mr. Stewart of Nevada, with an amendment proposing another form of statement—namely, "The right of citizens of the United States to vote and hold office shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any state on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude." During the debate on the question Mr. Hendricks of Indiana reproached the Republican party by forcing this question upon congress when in the platform of principles upon which they appealed for popular support they had distinctly waived it and when the legislature to which it must go for ratification had been elected without the slightest reference to it in the popular mind. In order to prevent what might seem to be an unfair submission of the amendment Mr. Dixon of Connecticut proposed that it should be referred to conventions in the respective states instead of to the legislatures and thus give to the people in the election of members of the conventions a full opportunity to pass upon the merits of the question. It was contended, on the other hand, by Republican senators that no subject had been more fully matured in the popular mind than this had been by the discussion which had taken place since the beginning and especially since the close of the war. But this was not a candid or truthful statement of the case, as had been abundantly shown by the action of the national Republican convention. Only a few of the leaders of the party had openly announced themselves in favor of Negro suffrage in the nation; a few were openly hostile, while the great majority of the prominent members feared it and refrained from open expression in regard to it. The mass of the party, as is usual on questions of this character, had made their own conclusions, and their earnestness of conviction finally forced if it did not persuade the reluctant chiefs to adopt it. The house of representatives had been considering the question of the suffrage amendment at equal step with the senate. On Jan. 11 Mr. Boutwell of Massachusetts, from the committee on the judiciary, proposed an amendment to the constitution in these words: "The right of any citizen of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any state by reason of the race, color or previous condition of slavery of any citizen or class of citizens of the United States. The congress shall have power to enforce by proper legislation the provisions of this article." CHIEF OF TRUE REFORMERS. Brilliant Record of James H. Crawley Chief of the Order at Brooklyn. It is the consensus of opinion of those who are in position to know that William L. Taylor, president and grand worthy master of the Grand Fountain of the United Order of True Reformers, made no mistake when he appointed James H. Crawley chief of the Brooklyn division of the order at THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORAD Brooklyn. Few men have labored more faithfully and struggled against greater odds to maintain the good name of the order and to increase its membership in all departments than has Mr. Crawley since his appointment to the Brooklyn field. Knowing Mr. Crawley's deep interest in the work and his adaptability as a leader in extensive movements, the grand master enlarged the chief's territory by including all of Long Island and Staten Island in connection with and under A. B. JAMES H. CRAWLEY. the supervision of the Brooklyn division, so that on Staten Island, at Babylon, Roslyn and Bayshore, N. Y., a splendid work has been accomplished. Mr. Crawley is ably assisted in the work by his amiable wife, Mrs. S. A. Crawley, who is the division secretary and also president of the Rosebud work of the division, which has increased in membership from five benefited children in 1903 to about 300 in April, 1909. In the Rosebud, or juvenile, department the children are carefully trained by competent instructors how to conduct their meetings, transact their own business, and especially are they taught the value of a penny and the necessity of unity and loyalty to the order and to their race. In 1908 the Rosebud department contributed $2,000 toward the maintenance of the old folks' home of the order, which is located at Westham farm, about seven miles from Richmond, Va. Besides Chief Crawley's arduous duties in looking after the work of the True Reformers, he is an active church worker and a deacon in the Bethany Baptist church. The division recently celebrated its fifteenth annual reunion with a two nights' public reception, which was held at the hall one night and at the Fleet Street Memorial A. M. E. Zion church the next. Since the last annual report to the grand fountain one more senior fountain and three Rosebuds have been organized. The division is composed of twenty fountains. Ninety-six senior fountain policies, 117 Rosebud policies and five class policies have been issued. There are 102 members in the class department in Brooklyn. The chief has the best interest of the members, as well as the work, at heart. This he makes manifest in the careful manner in which he labors with them to keep them on the books of their fountain and in the classes. The hall, which is under his personal supervision, is kept neat and clean, well heated and lighted as the seasons demand. In the community he is well thought of and relied upon to do what he says and do it in a business way. He is a hard worker and one of the best trained men in the employ of the grand fountain.

A tree known as the rain tree—Pithecolobium Saman—is found in the drier parts of South America. This tree grows to the height of 60 feet, and its leaves have the peculiar property of condensing the moisture from the atmosphere. So copious is this condensation that a continual shower falls from the leaves and branches until the surrounding soil is converted into a veritable marsh. Places that would otherwise be barren desert are by this means covered with the most luxuriant forests. The Art of Being Happy. "Cheerfulness," says Ruskin, "is as natural to the heart of man in strong health as glow to his cheek, and wherever there is habitual gloom there must be either bad air, unwholesome food, improperly severe labor or erring habits of life." If children were taught that one of the great life duties is to unfold the fun-loving side of their nature, the humorous side, there would not be so many suicides, so many unhappy, discordant, miserable people, so many failures in the world. Success Magazine. As a Steadily Flowing Current. It seems to me that to be quiet and to be active, or rather, to be quietly active, constantly going on with untiring energy, and yet so softly as scarcely to be perceptible, this seems to me to be an approach toward perfection. And this lesson we learn from Nature, which is unceasingly and yet imperceptibly changing.—From the Memoirs of Anne J. Clough. A Slangy Bungalow. It doesn't take long for current slang to find its way into the names of summer cottages and bungalows. A tiny but artistically arranged cottage for a family to summer in is called "A Cottage of Some Class," and a neat plate in mission wood above the leaded glass door proclaims it to all who pass or enter. Need of Companionship. Companionship is the one thing in the world which is absolutely essential to happiness. The human heart needs fellowship more than anything else—fellowship which is elevated and enduring, stronger and purer than itself and centered in that which death cannot change.—Henry Van Dyke. History Told by Eclipses. Many eclipses are noticed in the records of all ages. Astronomers can determine accurately when eclipses must have occurred and the eclipse records are proving valuable to historical students as a means of determining the dates of important events.

On the contrary, he laughs at it and is amused.—Town and Country. How splendidly everything would be done if every man could do his work as well as other people think they could do it.

The Fascal's Baedeker. There was once a man arrested on suspicion of a generally fraudulent life. On him was found a map of England, and certain of the towns were marked with the initials T. W. K. The detectives who traced his career of deception from town to town took quite a long time to discover that those letters were a personal warning, and stood for "Too Well Known." Faith, Hope and Charity. Take three strong points in your religion to heart—the doctrinal rules do not matter so much if you hold fast to these—namely, faith, hope and charity. Whatever your fallings and backslidings, if you have faith and hope that right will win and charity toward other sinners, you will see your way clear to a better future. Color of Bread No Test. The public would be well advised to abandon the fallacious notion that the whiteness of bread is a mark of its quality. The destruction of the natural color of flour by bleaching agents synchronizes with the destruction of its attractive flavor. Such tampering with the "staff of life" should be made illegal.—London Lancet. Weather Changed. It had been raining steadily, and the four-year old had resigned himself to looking out the window. Suddenly out came the sun. "Well," exclaimed he, "there's the sun! Isn't God a caution?"—The Delineator. Do Not Split It with an Ax.

City News ```markdown ``` GREATEST MEMBERSHIP. Rocky Mountain Lodge of Masons scored a high mark in membership Monday night when new additions brought its total membership up to 109, the largest in its history and the largest of any single lodge in this state at this time. It is making preparations for a large payment upon its property this summer. in pursuance of a call, meeting of the subscribers to the capital stock of the Negro District and Townsite company was held at Shorter's A. M. E. church Monday evening, April 19, 1909. The meeting was called to order by O. T. Jackson. Harry Jones was called on to act as secretary pro tem, after whih Mr. Jos. H. Stuart was called on to state the object of the meeting, which he did in some plain, common sense remarks. The object of this meeting, as I understand it, is for the purpose of selecting a committee to confer with Dr. Jefferson, register of the land board, and to locate land and get prices and terms on which land can be secured, the said land to be used exclusively by Negroes for townsite and farming purposes. The committee selected was Jos. H. Stewart, Rev. A. M. Ward, Dr. J. H. P. Westbrook, O. T. Jackson, G. C. Sample, J. N. Walker, Harry Jones, T. J. Riley, Wesley Lyons, Rev. J. B. Beckham, I. N.

The Great Western Orchestra played an engagement Tuesday evening, the 20th of April, at the residence of Mr. Will Fulton's, 520 Marion street. The guests were very much pleased with the music of this organization. McDaniels and Brown were also entertainers and were well applauded for their singing and dancing. The Anna and Howard mines at Salida, Colorado, are now working a full force, under the management of French and Snell. --- CORPORATION DISSOLVED. The Colorado Springs Mercantile Company, a corporation that opened a grocery store in Colorado Springs a few years ago, with E. P. Booze as manager, afterwards sold to Rev. Rice, and finally closed out, and later doing a loan business, has dissolved. Much was expected of this business, and it was given financial encouragement by some prominent white people of that city. No reason is given for its dissolution, and it is presumed that it was not making the profit on the investment expected, else it would have been continued. There were no stockholders dissenting so far as we learn. Miss Hopkins of Cheyenne spent the early part of the week in the city, the guest of her cousin, Mrs. M. E. Dishman. The tacky party that was given at Scott's church last Tuesday night was interfered with by the inclement weather and postponed until Monday night, when it will be repeated with additional features. Word has been received from California that Rev. Countee, who served Zion church so faithfully for several months during the interim when there was no regular pastor, has been called from earth to Heaven. No other details of his death are known except that it was very sudden. He will be deeply regretted by the church goers of this city who were edified by his able Christian ministry. W. R. Edwards is an entertainer par excellence. Tuesday afternoon a party of gentlemen were his guests and the way the good things of earth were spread about interspersed with the best of music was enough to make an indelible impress upon the least susceptible. J. Geo. Young of Omaha was in the city Wednesday and paid this office a visit. He is interested in land investment and is vice-president of the National Investment company there. A. A.

"Mariah Jane," "Susan Ann," "Bobtail Pete," "Weary Willle" and "Patched-Up Jeff" were all there in their glory. The enthusiasm ran high because of the funny odd old clothes worn, artistically arranged so as to bring down the house. Rev. Wallace was present and enjoyed the affair and during the course of the evening received many congratulations because of the good work so effectively accomplished. Chitterlings were served. The Azalia Hackley Choral Club are preparing a fine program for the advent of Miss Virginia Moore. Fred Hudson, husband of Mrs. Tenie Nickens-Hudson, is visiting relatives and friends here.

Remember the protection comes not only from the local lodge, but from the grand lodge as well. Mrs. Nellie Fagan wishes to thank the friends who were so kind to her in the death and burial of her father, James Davenport, and especially does she want to thank them for their beautiful floral offerings. When it is all said and done, the sport fans come back to E. W. Dickerson, better known as "Dick," the sporting editor of the Rocky Mountain News, for a square deal. It is true and no one knows it better than ourselves, that Jack Johnson, the champion pugilist, is not popular, for it is hard for even us to swallow some things he is published to have done. Yet his fighting ability is what is most under debate, not whether the woman he married is white, as the papers say, or is colored as he claims. Right here is where Dick "comes clean." On all questions wherein the color of the athlete biases the judgment of other sporting writers, he judges the man by his ability to do, not by his looks. We pause for a moment to pay him the word of thinks from us that is his due. And we add just a word for his private ear—get Sam Lankford into the ring with Stanley Ketchel and on the outcome we will risk the reputation of colored fighters. The president is reported as having promised to appoint John F. Vivian of Golden, Republican state chairman, superintendent of the Denver Mint. This announcement will bring joy to many colored Republicans, for Mr. Vivian is the most popular politician that there is in any party with the colored people who know him. He is deserving of the best the party has and we are especially glad that it is to the Mint he goes, for with John Vivian at the helm we know that the colored employees there are assured of an absolutely square deal. Miss Ocie Cooper has been quite ill for the past week. Members of the young ladies' Coleridge Taylor Study Club are requested to be present Wednesday evening to elect delegate to the State Federation. Mrs. R. W.

Sunday afternoon. The Executive committee has determined to make another money-raising effort at any early date and has appointed a committee to have charge of the rally. It is expected to raise $2,000 by rallies confined strictly to what the colored people of the community can do, and then the interest of the whole community will be enlisted in one monster movement. Robert Rogers and wife left Sunday for a visit to Texas, their old home. Paris will be the principal point visited. They will then return and go out to Seattle to remain during the fair. The Executive Board of the Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Society of the Baptists of the state will meet at Zion church next Monday. Miss Anna Crockett, who went to Miami, Florida, recently, has been stricken with paralysis there and her sister, Mrs. Sallie Robinson of Aspen, and Green Conley, her brother-in-law, have gone to bring her home.

"If people would only learn to have open fires in their rooms, instead of converting them into hot-air boxes by means of furnaces, there would be fewer colds," said a physician. "Fireplaces and their chimneys are ventilators. To me the beauty of an open fire makes it worth having, but when you consider that it's a sanitary officer, constantly changing the air and driving out germs, it is hard to see how any one can prefer a furnace." Cure for Toothache. A London physician at a meeting of a medical society stated that extraction of teeth was unnecessary. He was enabled to cure the most desperate case of toothache, he said, unless the case was connected with rheumatism, by the application of the following remedy to the diseased tooth: Alum, reduced to an impalpable powder, two drachms; nitrous spirits of ether, seven drachms; mix and apply to tooth. On the Half Shell in Alaska. Up in Alaska the nearest approach they have to the oyster is the sea urchin. The redskins up there love the brutes. They catch them all day long, crunch them in their fists, gulp down the orange-colored cluster of eggs and fling the thorny shell back into the ocean. Sea urchins have been the chief delicacy of Alaskan Indians since time out of mind, and it shows what will go in a pinch. He Approved. Three-year-old Tim had admired the clouds for a long time, but never thought to inquire into their origin until a few evenings since. His mother explained at length how God made the rain fall on the earth and then took it back into the sky, to all of which Tim listened attentively, and then patronizingly observed: "Pretty dood stunt for Dod, isn't it?"—Hamper's Magazine. Early Showed Greatness. Andrew Jackson was a marvel of precocity. He carried a flintlock musket, as a soldier of the revolutionary army, at the age of 14. At 23 he was appointed by Washington district attorney of Tennessee. He was a United States senator at 30. He did not reach the presidency until he was 62.—Sunday Magazine. One of Fashion's Follies. A lady came on an odd-looking bag the other day in one of the fashionable London shops. It was in expensive leather, and seemed too large for an ordinary hand-bag; also it had a curious opening cut at one side towards the top. "Ladies use it for carrying their little dogs," the salesman explained. Dressed as Scholars. At the wedding lately of the head master of Eastbourne college, England, the three pages in the bridal procession were garbed as scholars in black satin knee breeches, buckled shoes, scarlet silk gowns, with white shirt fronts. Each carried a mortarboard hat and a scarlet-bound prayer book. The Poor Widower.

Miss Genevieve Hallowell, prop. Mrs. J. R. Hallowell, Mgr. 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. MRS. A. M.

The party was composed of Charles Banks, cashier of Mound Bayou bank; W. E. Mollizon, president of Lincoln Savings bank, Vicksburg; T. J.

Cox, banker, Indianola. These representative men from the fertile state of Mississippi, a state con- taining 50,000 more colored people than white, called on President Taft and Postmaster General Hitchcock. The delegation told President Taft that the colored people whom it repre- sented did not believe that any satis- factory or permanent results could well be brought about as long as such conclusions were reached with the Ne- gro left out where his best interest was at stake. “Like you,” the chair- man of the delegation continued, “we don't believe that any satisfactory and lasting result can be obtained with- out the approval and co-operation of the dominant class, the whites, in our section, and any policy that makes for peace between us, that means to bring us more closely together so far as the public good is concerned and the gen- eral uplift of our section and fn that uplift the uplift of the nation as well, is much desired by us, and our pres- ence here {s to assure you that the Ne- groes of Mississippi will do their part in bringing about the desired ends and hope not to so conduct themselves at Beg ey ee Bet SN ee Be aie eta oe 5) Lhasa a 7 POU . we} Fionn % Ft aad .

Walter L.

His familiar fig- ure has been seen at Republican na- tional conventions for many years, and the fierce contests waged between the Black and Tans and the Lily Whites at these conventions, in which Mr. Cohen has figured so largely, have attracted national attention. Women Aid Hospital Fund. The musicale and dance which was recently given by & committee of nurses for the benefit of the Proyi- dence Hospital and Training Schoo} For Nurses at Brooklyn was a brilliant social and financial success. The Afro- American physicians who are aiding the hospital movement are very much encouraged at the progress of the new venture, and they speak words of praise and gratitude for the part which the women are taking to assist fn maintaining this much needed insti- tution among our people. Power of Public Sentiment. It ought to be clear to most thinking Negroes by this time that the federal laws which are supposed to throw the mantle of protection around them are mere subterfuges and that their effl- cacy as laws is subordinate to the pox public sentiment which has gathered strength and power since the day they were placed in the constitu- tion, = Fishermen of Galilee.

Generally the students at college have work enough in school to keep them actively engaged to prevent them from doing anything on the outside. When the scholar can satisfactorily accomplish his collegiate duties and then find time and energy enough to work on the outside, that stuent is credited with having great ability and capacity as well as ambition to become a master of his work. To be a student in school and go away to a little town to be cocome a musical director, giving the inhabitants on that town the benefits of your skill and influence by association, is a very commendable element in any person. Such is and has been the case of Miss Eva B. Jones. Miss Jones is the directress of Quinn Chapel, Tonganoxie, Kansas, and for Easter gave one of the most successful Easter programs ever prepared for that church. When she took charge of the choir the congregation numbered about five or six and on Easter fully 80 people were present as regular attendants of the school to hear the sacred program. The increase is due wholly to Miss Jones' musical impressions upon them every Sundav night. She is the daughter of Mr. Harry Jones who is the proprietor of the Pearl Barber Shop and is one of the executive committeeen of the Twentieth Century Business Society of Western University: also she is a senior to graduate at the coming commencement in June. Colorado feels proud of her daughter who is doing much practical work for the uplift of our people. A WORD ABOUT OUR IDLE YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN. The sight of so many idle young men and women is a grievous imnctment of our race. The old fathers and mothers might be excused for idleness after an early life spent in servitude, but the younger generation knows well that whatever progress it makes must be by the sweat of the brow, and it unwillingness to pay the price of success will come home to us a hundredfold in the years to come. Young men assemble on the vacant lots of the city in little groups "shooting crans" on Sundays; young women lie abed after nights of frolicking and have their patient mothers bring their meals to them. No wonder we are being distanced. Parents should consider well the consequences of bringing their children up in idleness. Work is honorable. And even if it was not, it is necessary to maintain life's necessities. Tramps is too good a word to apply to our idle young folk, for a self-respecting tramp at least thinks enough of himself to keep out of sight of those who know him. Our triflers flaunt their unworthiness in the faces of their own relatives. --- PAGE.8 MS. ths .....$1.00 Three months ...$ .50 Colorado, as second class mailmatter. Man's By-Products. There is enough hydrogen gas in a man, says the Medical Index Lancet, to carry him up to the clouds. He contains enough fat to make 75 candles and a large cake of soap, and enough phosphorus to make 8,064 boxes of matches. His remaining constituents will yield, if utilized, six cruets of salt, a bowl of sugar and ten gallons of water. English Plea for Cities Beautiful What England wants just now is a man, or several men, of infinite ability and ample means, who, purely for the sake of their art alone, will prepare imaginary schemes showing how and in what way our cities ought to grow if they are to be healthy dwelling places and beauty spots instead of blots upon our land.—English Building News. Intemperance in Cause and Effect. The drink habit may be the cause of many miseries; but it is, in turn, the effect of other and prior miseries. The temperance advocates may preach their hearts out over the evils of drink, but until the evils that cause people to drink are abolished drink and its evils will remain.-Jack London. Little By Little. "Yes, I put all my little things in wash," said she, "my towels and table napkins and handkerchiefs. My washerwoman doesn't charge me exorbitantly for them. She is very reasonable. She wants to encourage me to put them in, so she can take them away from me one by one without my knowing it." Mere Humans. A Wilkesbarre magistrate has decided that a cow has precedence over an automobile and does not have to wear a red lantern on her tail when standing in the road o' nights meditatively chewing her cud. Human beings apparently must take their chances. A Kansas Blizzard. A favorite story in western Kansas years ago related how steadily the wind blew; a farmer said that the wind blew a sheaf of oats against his barn door, and kept it there three days.—Atchison Globe.

SCOTT'S CHURCH NOTES. The Anti-Saloon League held forth Sunday morning. Rev. Crist preached from Proverbs 23:29, "Who hath woe? Who hath sorrow? Who hath contentions? Who hath babbling? Who hath wounds without cause? Who hath redness of eyes? They that tarry long at the wine, they that go to seek mixed wine." The speaker grew eloquent as he depicted the misery and woe brought upon this country by the un-American saloons. A handsome subscription was made by those touched by this great sermon. An Epworth League was organized by the pastor after the adjournment of the Sunday school. The following officers were elected: Mr. J. D. Rice president; first vice-president, Mr. F. D. McPherson; second vice-president, Mrs. Mary Evans; third vice-president, Miss Lelia Rice; fourth vice-president, Mrs. Anna Bobo; secretary, Miss Carrie Carr; treasurer, Miss Ruth Hoffman; librarian, Mr. Ira Gardner. This organization starts off with a good corps of officers and ouds fair to succeed. The first meeting will be held Sunday evening at 7. Mr. F. D. McPherson will have charge of the program. The pastor preached to an appreciative audience Sunday evening. Text, "The Power of Love," John 3:16. The following is an outline: I. For the love of country men have given their lives. II.

To a crowded house one of the best 45-minute sermons ever preached by the pastor of Shorter was preached Sunday afternoon. There has been more comments this past week about this sermon than for many weeks. It seemed the time, place and its suggestions of the recent fire and loyal membership fairly set the reverend's heart and mind in a spiritual blaze which was easily caught up by the congregation turning the whole body into a religious blaze of "Amens," "Glory to God," etc. It was good to be there and there were representatives of the various churches who partook of the religious feast and enjoyed themselves thoroughly. Rev. Beckham has been full of smiles as the consequence of the successful meeting. A neat sum was taken for the church.

Recently she played before Sir Henry Heyman (formerly violinist for King Edward), who encouraged her and who predicts unusual success if she continued as she has begun. Her playing is certain to be an inspiration to the girl students of the violin in the East and for this reason she was brought from the far West to play at the great Hackley Musical Festival at the Academy of Music, October 22nd, and everybody who can should hear before she returns West.
