MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP CANNOT GIVE SOME- THING FOR NOTHING TWENTY-FIRST YEAR MUNICIPAL CANNO THE This week there was introduced in the city council an ordinance providing for a special election wherein the people could have an opportunity to vote for the purchase by the city of the water plant. The proposition is backed by men of such prominence as to deserve serious attention. Colored citizens are equally interested with white in its proper disposition. Renters as well as taxpayers stand to win or lose by it equally, the one paying indirectly in rent what the other pays directly in water taxes. It is not our intention to attempt a general discussion of the water question at this time, but to confine what we say to municipal ownership whether it is desirable and practicable in Denver. The spirit of American government has always been that of the widest individual liberty. Every citizen is supposed to have absolute freedom provided only he does not infringe upon the rights of others. This country has stood against communism in all its forms, making but few concessions to it, such as retaining under government control the distribution of the mail, and the making of legal tender. Yet in recent years a strong wave of municipal ownership, a localized form of communism, has swept over the country and many cities have tried it. Its friends point with pride to certain cities as exemplification of its advantages, and with equal facility. Its enemies find weaknesses. In other words, municipal ownership has not yet proven itself an unqualified success, and Denver has now to decide whether it wants to experiment here with it or not. The great majority of people have no interest in municipal or private ownership of water systems, except as they best serve their needs. Of such are the colored citizens of Denver. If it is granted that public ownership of the water system in other cities has been for the betterment of the service and the lessening of the cost to the DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1909 citizens, it still remains that Denver is the city we are solving a problem for, and it must be shown that here municipal ownership is for the better. It goes without saying that a city such as Chicago with an inexhaustible reservoir at its disposal, with no filtration, and with a population much denser than Denver, offers poor comparison! and though municipal ownership were proven better and cheaper there than private ownership, it still does not follow that the same would be true of Denver. In other words, comparisons help us to form an opinion, but they are not conclusive. Political Agitation Hurts Business. In the very outset, we believe that it will be generally admitted that it is undesirable to increase the influence of elections on business. It is undesirable to enlarge the amount of political plunder to be disposed of by any successful political party. The failure of municipal government to give good service at low cost, under the present spoils system of politics, burdens taxpayers with ever increasing taxation, fattens the purses of unscrupulous office holders and is the disgrace of American government. It has required no muckrakers to uncover this moral stench. Every tax receipt is an indictment of local government. By this assertion we are not seeking to belittle any political party, or any set of men. It is true of them all, and always will be true, where appointment goes by favor, and not by merit. If there is any lingering doubt on the truth of our statement, consider the proposals of the Municipal Ownership organization and be convinced. It confesses the weakness of political supervision of water systems by offering an "expert" commission as one of the conditions of purchasing and operating a municipal plant.

Since his arrival in the United States Minister Lyon has been the recipient of marked attention. His ability to handle many difficult affairs which probably saved the life of the West African republic gave him more substantial influence and weight with the government and people of this country. One notable instance of the esteem in which he is held was shown in the testimonial and banquet in his honor at Washington, which was attended by prominent men from all sections of the country. In his efforts to improve the industrial condition of the Liberians he met the hearty co-operation of Dr. Booker T. Washington and other race leaders, the result of which will be the establishment of an industrial and normal school in Liberia under the supervision of Tuskegee institute. This was decided upon at a conference at Tuskegee between Dr. Washington, Minister Lyon and Bishop I. B. Scott, who has charge of the work of the Methodist Episcopal church in West Africa. Dr. Lyon spoke proudly of his visit to Cardinal Gibbons at Baltimore before sailing for Africa. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. U.S. MILITARY ATTACHE B. O. DAVIS.

The Birmingham Reporter is making a magnificent fight against the "jim crow" theaters in Alabama's principal city and is justly condemning the colored people who patronize them and pay first class prices for the questionable privilege of climbing up a dark stairway in an alley to get a seat in the "peanut gallery." The colored people of Birmingham should make a practical settlement of their amusement problem, as the colored people of Washington, New Orleans and other Negro centers are doing, by providing theaters of their own, says the Indianapolis (Ind.) Freeman, where they may march in through the front door without fear and trembling and occupy the best seats at a reasonable price of admission. New Business Venture at Washington.

By HORACE D. SLATTER. Two thousand Negro farmers and their wives and children attended the fourth annual session of the Negro farmers' conference, which was recently held at Utica, Miss., under the auspices of the Utica Normal and Industrial institute, of which William H. Holtzclaw is principal. The establishment and maintenance of the Utica Normal and Industrial institute are the direct outcome of the Tuskegee institute idea, its principal being a typical Tuskegee product. The concrete examples of successful farm life of these Negro farmers who attended the conference show how this institution, with all its work, has become a part of the life of the people. Ten years ago they lived from "hand to mouth." Now, through the influence of this institution, some have LAWRENCE PRINCIPAL W. H. HOLTZOLAW. cleared themselves of debt, others have erected spacious modern homes for their families, while all, more or less, are bending their every energy to the task of obtaining a good education for their children to the end that they may be good and useful citizens. Whatever complaint may be lodged against industrial education, the accomplishment of such results with this system would appear to all right thinking people as proof of its effectiveness. The principal and teachers of the institute, all young, energetic and self sacrificing, become a part of the community, and in their dignified way, living a life of Christian uprightness, make the uneducated people about them feel that, after all, there is something in an education worth having. The community school, the extension meetings, house to house visitation and the farmers' conference all have a great influence on the lives of the THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. people who come in immediate contact with the school. For example, note the common sense advice contained in Principal Holtzclaw's annual address before the farmers' conference. He said in part: The great possibilities of our state can never be fully realized until we get out of the habit of moving from place to place, until we settle down somewhere and stay there—make some place our permanent abode. No people that is continually moving from place to place can hope to amount to much in the world's progress. Health, happiness, even fortune, are all right here at your door. Too long have we seen the fantastic glories of great possibilities in some faraway place and have been all the while neglecting the opportunities at our doors. I have seen many parts of the country, but I have never seen a spot that I consider a better place for the Negro than right here in Mississippi. There are yet many things that we ought to have and many that will come with the progress of the years—will come, in fact, just about as fast as we can make the best use of them. But the questions that confront us today are: What are we doing to help ourselves? How are we living our lives? Let us go home and answer these questions each in his own way. Go and buy you a little home if it is but an acre of land. Build a house upon it and make it more than one or two rooms. Plant fruit trees and shade trees. Use some whitewash and paint. Begin the systematic education of your children and teach them how to work. Let everybody work, for our temporal salvation is largely bound up in our ability to become intelligent producers by work. I know you have many things to contend with, but you must not let these things overcome you. The individual who gets up in the world is the individual that conquers conditions, that masters surroundings, not the one who allows conditions to master him. Don't get in the habit of going about with a long face, a hung down head. Just look the world in the face with head erect and you will find that the world will make a place for you. Attending this conference were a large number of prominent visitors, among whom were: Charles Banks, cashier of the Bank of Mound Bayou; Isalah T. Montgomery, founder of Mound Bayou, the only all Negro town in the state; J. A. Martin, principal of the largest Negro city school in the state, from Jackson; L. K. Atwood, president of the Southern Bank of Jackson; John Green, representative of the Jeanes Rural School fund; G. W. Williams, principal of an industrial school, a direct outgrowth of the Utica institute. The products exhibited from the horticultural and agricultural departments were splendid. Frank admissions as to their own shortcomings, of the things that contribute toward their failure, were given by the individuals as freely as the proud statement of successful accomplishments. "I made good money, but I ain't got no home, 'cause I done eat it all up," said one man. And yet before that audience he determined to do more for his family than ever before. Strange enough, this same man has successfully educated his three children, two of whom hold responsible positions in southern schools. Another man detailed how, after ten years in debt, he covenanted with his wife that they would work for themselves, and now, after four years' hard work, they have a nice home, 120 acres of land, with all payments up to date. Thus in simple words the story of their experience was told. The boll weevil, too, contributes to the trials and misfortunes of the farmers. One man, speaking of the situation, declared, "I ain't a-gwine to 'low de boll weevil nor de white fo'ks to run me away fum my farm." Another man confessed that for a long time he wanted to save $500 before he would open a bank account, and when he finally came to his senses he began an ac count with $10. Now, he has a 311 acre farm worth on an average of $10 per acre. Strong and forcible resolutions were adopted by the entire conference, in which the state of Mississippi was congratulated for the increased agricultural development, with particular reference to the era of good feeling now prevailing between the races. The black people pledged themselves to use their best influence for the continuance of these relations. The resolutions read as follows: We regret that the good name of our state is still blackened occasionally by the frightful work of an uncontrolled mob. We are aware that the better element of the white race is one with us in the wish that this fact was different, but in spite of our combined wishes it remains the dark spot on our horizon. We implore the strong arm of the law to see to it that the statutes are respected by white as well as black, rich as well as poor. We further congratulate the state upon the abolishment of the legal sale of intoxicating liquors within our borders. The good effects of the law are now clearly seen. We pledge ourselves to render any assistance we can to the officers of the law to prevent the illegal sale of liquors in our various communities. We urge our people to harbor no criminals, to see to it that the pistol "toter" is reported, that all lawlessness is put away as far as possible. We would suggest that the leaders of our people in every community get in touch with the leaders of the white race as far as possible and help them in the enforcement of the just laws of the land, co-operate with them in any movement which looks to the improvement of the people in any way. Sons of Virginia Install Officers. The annual installation of officers of the Society of the Sons of Virginia, recently held in Brooklyn, was largely attended by the members and friends of the organization. The report of the treasurer, Graham H. Carter, showed that the society was in splendid condition both in numbers and finance, the cash balance in bank being $2,056.75. The annual address was delivered by ex-President N. B. Dodson, whose subject was "A Short Review of the Year." The officers were installed by the Rev. W. R. Lawton. CAT AND RAT ARE CRONIES Eat, Sleep and Play Together—Pussy Defends Her Protege from Active Enemies. An intimate friendship between a pet white rat and a big cat is reported by a correspondent of St. Nicholas. When the white rat was about two months old by accident a stray cat was allowed to enter the room. It was immediately expected that pussy would devour the rat. But there was great surprise when the rat instead of showing fright and running away ran toward the cat and nestled itself under the cat's warm breast. The cat is apparently as fond of this white rat as she would be of her own kittens. When they are fed they are given pieces of meat cut in strings. Each one gets hold of a string at either end and they try to see which can eat the most of it. The cat usually wins because she is the stronger. If the white rat is missing the cat hunts first in the wicker basket in which they sleep together and then in every nook and corner and sometimes in the cellar or attic until she finds the rat. Pussy and the white rat have been together now for a little over a year, and the cat is thoroughly responsible for this, for when stray cats come around to the back door she jumps out of her corner, shows flight and chases Dictionary Needed. A writer in the Bystander thinks that compilers of aviation dictionaries have been a little slow in not providing some unique swear words for use when things don't go just right for aeronauts and spectators. "I can not help thinking a few must have been invented at Juvisy, for instance, and elsewhere," he writes. "Few things can contribute more to enrich the language than impatience, a day in the train for a 20-mile journey, being trodden under-foot by a raging crowd, and a stiff neck. And bad weather, hotel charges and the aviator's refusal to fly because he has lost his pocket handkerchief, or his oil can, or a nut, or what not—and you have all the requisites for the composition of an aero-oath." The Growth of Insanity. Statistics serve to show a steady increase in the number of the insane. The most reliable statistics known to us, those taken in Massachusetts, show that in that state the number of insane in the asylums is increasing from 250 to 300 a year, which is a much larger proportionate increase than that of the sane population. Reports from other states show similar results. Some of the more generally accepted causes of the increase of insanity are given as follows: The overtension of modern life, brought on by the keen struggle for life; the congestion and excitement of city life, and the fact that insanity is becoming more and more an incurable disease. Why Thunder Is So Loud. Experiments made in the Jefferson Physical Laboratory by Professor Trowbridge of Harvard university show that the astounding noise of a lightning discharge is largely due to the dissociation of water vapor, through the explosion of the hydrogen and oxygen gases produced by such dissociation. In his mimic lightning experiments the authority referred to has produced a torrent of huge electric sparks. The noise of the discharge was so great that the operator had to stop his ears with cotton and then wrap a heavy cloth around them. The Sunday Magazine. Fish Flew in His Boat. A. Paladini, the local fish merchant, the other day exhibited a flying fish which had been brought in by his fishing steamer, the Henrietta. Fying fish are numerous in the waters of southern California, but they are rarely seen in this vicinity. While the Henrietta was steaming along about five miles beyond the Farallones the fish flew upon the deck and Capt. Alexander brought it into port. It is a foot long and weights nearly two pounds—San Francisco Call. Epicurean Literary Man. M. Marcel Prevost, the French novelist and the latest elected academician, seems to be something of a Lucullus. He likes ortolans, but "they must have been fattened for six months in a cage in my own house." A certain "estouffade de boeuf" seems a simple dish, but it "must have simmered slowly for two days." When M. Prevost has roasted saddle of lamb at home he will eat only lamb that has been brought up since birth by two aws, "devoted entirely to the service of that one lamb."

Note of Warning In League's Fiat Executive Committee of National Independent Political Organization Denounces Government Officials Who Discriminate Against the Negro—Its Cause Vindicated. The executive committee of the National Independent Political league, an organization with members in thirty states, recently held a two days' session in New York prior to the departure for Africa of Bishop Alexander Walters, president of the league. The next annual meeting was fixed for Atlantic City, N. J., Aug. 4 and 5, and committees on program, entertainment and finance were appointed. The resolutions committee, consisting of William Monroe Trotter of Boston, Dr. O. M. Waller of Brooklyn and Rev. L. G. Jordan of Louisville, Ky., formulated the following declaration to the country, which was adopted: The national executive committee of the National Independent Political league congratulates the nation on its material prosperity and on peace at home and abroad. In the five months, however, since our last meeting tendencies have continued and events have transpired injurious and unjust to colored citizens and boding ill to the republic. No single incident in the country's history represents more injustice to colored citizens and a graver repudiation of the fundamental principles of jurisprudence and free institutions than the Brownsville discharge. We regret the procedure of the present Brownsville board, which inspires doubt and suspicion because the hearings are behind closed doors. We deprecate the astounding declaration of the head of the United States census specifically drawing the color line as to the appointment and work of census enumerators, which with the inaugural of President Taft for the first time makes color discrimination a part of the country's executive history. We declare as erroneous and mischievous the official assertions of President Taft in his first message to congress that most of the lynchings are due to the law's delay. The awful record of eighty-seven lynchings in the past year proves this. Eighty of these cases were in the south and the victims colored. In that section, where the entire machinery of the law and courts is in the hands of white men, dominated by bitter color prejudice, there never has been any delay in the trial and conviction of colored persons accused of crime against white persons. On the other hand, the rapidity of trial and execution amounts to judicial lynching. We declare we cannot accept the sop of a celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of emancipation for our equal rights under the national executive. In fact, if President Taft's policies continue we shall have in 1913 only a return to serfdom to celebrate. All patriotic citizens may well take alarm at the presence in the national capitol of a statue of the commanding general of the war of the rebellion to disrupt the Union. It is but the concrete crystallization of the pandering of President Taft to the unreconstructed south and of its consequent aggressiveness. We find our league again vindicated in its election fight against this Republican candidate, who as a Republican president has gone to the furthest extreme in contempt for the feelings of colored citizens, Republicans, and for their constitutional rights in making an ex-Confederate Democrat a justice of the supreme court of the United States, the dire contingency which the Republican leaders held up as a bugaboo should a Democratic candidate be elected president. We denounce the public expressions of army officers at West Point against a colored man being admitted on examination to West Point. Finally, we appeal to all Americans to save our republic from caste of class or color. We especially appeal to all colored Americans to agitate for equal rights and to organize locally and nationally to secure liberty for all in this land of ours. 2100 ARAPAHOE ST.

The various wage scales in different parts of the country and the differences in the nature and extent of the local difficulties confronting the enumerators in the large geographical divisions of the United States have influenced and guided United States Census Director Durand in the adoption of a classification of enumerators' rates of compensation within the limits prescribed by the United States census law enacted by congress. The different classes of rates will be so applied that in general the average enumerator will earn substantially the same actual amount in one district as in another, even though the population may be much sparser in one than in the other, with other conditions also different. Regard is paid to the fact that prevailing wages and salaries are higher in some parts of the country than in others; but, aside from this, the director's aim is to adjust the rates so as to make the earnings of enumerators substantially uniform. Where the per capita rates would not give sufficient pay the per diem rates are prescribed. The rates in general will be so adjusted as to give a slightly higher average amount to the enumerators than they received in 1900. There are three general rates—the per capita, the mixed and the per diem. The first and second general rates have five subdivisions each. The per diem rates range from $3 to $3.50. $4, $4.50. $5, $5.50 and $6 and are to be paid for a day of eight hours' work. For enumerators on the per capita basis, which will be that most widely used, the pay for each inhabitant is: Class A, 2 cents; Class B, $ 2 \frac{1}{2} $ cents; Class C, 3 cents; Class D, $ 3 \frac{1}{2} $ cents, and Class E, 4 cents. Such enumerators will also be paid for each farm as follows: Class A, 20 cents; Class B, $ 22 \frac{1}{2} $ cents; Class C, 25 cents; Class D, $ 27 \frac{1}{2} $ cents, and Class E, 30 cents. These rates are in each case 5 cents or more higher than those paid in 1900, when the range was from 15 to 20 cents. For each establishment of productive industry the rate for each class is 30 cents. For each barn and inclosure containing live stock not on farms the pay is 10 cents for each class. Under the mixed rate, which is a combination of the per capita and the per diem, there are five subclasses alphabetically arranged, and the per diem is: Class F, $1; G, $1.25; H, $1.50; I, $1.75; J, $2. For each inhabitant the pay is: Class F, 2 cents; G, $2½ cents; H, $2½ cents; I, $2½ cents; J, 3 cents. For each farm: Class F, 15 cents; G, $17½ cents; H, $17½ cents; I and J, 20 cents each. For each establishment of productive industry the rate is 20 cents for each class. PAGE. 18. be 21/2 cents for each inhabitant except in the outlying districts and where an enumerator's district covers a large territory. All applications for enumerators, properly filled out, were to be returned to the supervisor not later than Jan. 25, the date first set by the director of the census for closing the consideration of applications. COLOR LINE WHITE HOUSE. Afro-Americans Given Object Lesson In Republican Hypocrisy. No colored citizen should have any doubt as to the attitude of the present administration relative to the vital questions which concern the future welfare of all the people. The color line is as much in evidence in the White House of the nation as it is in any capital city in the southland. The census bureau has just announced through the Associated Press that colored census enumerators will not be permitted to act in cases of white people, but it fails to add that white census enumerators will not be permitted to act in cases of colored people. It seems to us if it intended to carry out the principle laid down to its logical conclusion and to maintain that basis of equality in treatment which the law guarantees it would have supplemented its instructions along the lines indicated. But we have a Republican president, a Republican congress, and the colored people of the United States are being treated to an object lesson which will convince the most skeptical that a Republican amounts to about as much as a Democrat and a Democrat to about as much as a Republican when we consider these latter day dissertations upon the race question. The time has come when we can aford to support a Democrat with justice loving proclivities with a far greater certainty of securing that recognition to which we are entitled than we can some of these "tenderfoot" Republicans who fear redicule from southern Negro haters and ghostly shadows from a growing prejudiced element in the districts of the north and west.--Richmond (Va.)

This result may be obtained by one thorough application according to directions. Two to four applications a month will keep the hair in satisfactory condition, and two to four bottles, regular size, are usually sufficient for a year. Directions with every bottle.

By N. BARNETT DODSON. Mme. H. P. Sannon, the charming and accomplished wife of the Hon. H Paulus Sannon, Haitian minister ai Washington, attended the first diplo matic reception of the year at the White House recently and was cor dially received and shown every cour tesy due her as the wife of a foreign minister. The Sannons have made s favorable impression upon Washington society, both in and outside of their official station. Mr. Sannon presented his credentials to ex-President Roose- velt a few days before he retired from office and was officially received. He has kept up with the trend of inter- national affairs and is said to be well versed in statecraft; therefore he is eminently qualified to fill the post which has been assigned him. For many years he was minister of for- eign affairs in Haiti, a position which corresponds to that of secretary of Een > Fo, aa ax a 4 e. fuss Z Lees ieee 2 ae eg SS ed , 22: ie eae A (ae | cs ds ad we a F : ea Be een fi @ A 7 a : eee ae od ear: A 24 Lae 7 Whey, an: ne. ice ee | eg D, Ur ( ah A a ae 40 ae ae ae Faee’ ig ed sae ee ig e a ora v VA om - a “ s - Ee % a f a: mee y ane ee J aa BG b ss ye . a gs em eh Se LEHI Ee Soc EO are ORNS CS BY Saal WT BEE TITY IG RR MME.

As s«cb be wa the director of the foreign policy o1 the Black Republic and guve orders to all her foreign ministers. Not only by training, but by educa- tion and by nature, is Mr. Sannon well fitted for diplomatic honors. The best schools of Haiti and France were at- tended by him, and such environments added to the dignity and culture with which nature had endowed this dark skinned gentleman, who at thirty-eight finds himself representing his govern- ment at Washington, holding his own among the members of one of the most brilliant diplomatic corps in the world. The Haitian government provides for her minister here in keeping with the dignity of his official station.

THE g QUALITY CLOTHES SHOP 1015 16TH STREET OPPOSITE TABOR GRAND GOOD CLOTHES AT MODERATE PRICES.. CONSISTENCY IS A JEWEL Reasons Why Our Pastors Should Pat- ronize Race Enterprises. With special grievance we cannot help but call attention to the fact that our pastors should patronize race in- stitutions, as they themselves are en- gaged in just such an institution and make their living thereby. We can- not see the consistency of a pastor of a Negro church passing by a Negro print shop to patronize a white one when as good work is done at a Negro shop which makes reasonable charges and employs all Negro labor. The great proportion of the race's printing | should aid in building up the race's en- terprise. There can be found no ra- tional reason why not. We hope this little lecture will’be recelved in the light it is delivered and accepted as simply that consistency is a jewel.

REPUBLICANS WILL RALLY. Denver, Jan. — (Special.)—The Colorado Lincoln Day banquet that is to be held at El Jebel Temple on the evening of February 12, will mark the close of the first Republican rally day of the 1910 campaign. Those who avail themselves of the opportunity of participating in this banquet and enjoying the enthusiasm that will characterize the several preceding meetings of Republicans during the day, will find themselves better equipped to enter the campaign of the summer to reclaim Colorado to Republicanism. It is the intention of the leaders of the party to make this the enthusiastic day of the early year. In the morning the Republican State Central Committee will meet and suggest a successor to Mr. Vivian as chairman, inasmuch as he intends to resign in order to accept the duties of his new federal position. In addition to the suggestion of a new chairman the committee will discuss plans and means for the betterment of the Republican party in the state. In the early afternoon the county chairmen of the party will convene and become acquainted with the newly selected state chairman and a general outline for county work will be discussed and agreed upon. Following this meeting the state chairman, together with the county chairman, will meet with the Republican editors of the state and a publicity program will be discussed, and as far as possible agreed upon that will bring before the people of Colorado the true condition of state, judicial, county and municipal affairs under Democratic management. During the entire day receptions and meetings will be held at the Republican club, the state headquarters and other places in the city where Republicans are wont to gather and these will help to renew political activities and inspire courage in the minds of all. A number of towns are preparing to send delegations to secure the next Republican state convention and a number of prospective candidates for office will be on hand working in behalf of their candidacy, thus adding renewed interest and spice to the several events of the day. After the day and its meetings are over all will gather round the festive board in El Jebel Temple for the purpose of learning anew from American statesmen the principles of Republicanism, which, after all, are the principles of Lincoln, the man unto whose memory the majority party of the nation annually gives one day. Ample provisions have been made for all who attend and those who fail will miss the pleasures and inspirations of one of the great events in the history of Colorado Republicanism. Mrs. Charles Stallings has come to the city to join her husband. Theer will be revival services at Campbell Church for the next four weeks. Rev.

The membership of the church is now 455; $1,700 was paid during the year on the church indebtedness.

Time Honored Customs Are Fading—Noted Clergymen In Symposium on Intermarriage Between Jew and Gentile Assert That Cupid Is No Respecter of Persons. By "BRUCE GRIT." The American Hebrew has become such a power in the social, political and commercial life of this nation and is making his influence felt so keenly and effectively that the gentile race, so called, has begun "to sit up and take notice" of him. The views expressed by leading representatives of the Protestant and Jewish churches in New York in a writing covering several columns in the New York Sun recently would seem to indicate that we are on the verge of a social upheaval. The title of the article is, "Are Jew and Gentile Nearer?" We hope every Negro will read what these learned clergymen have said in justification of the intermarriage of Jews and gentiles. While personally we do not favor intermarriage between the races, we cannot help indorsing the utterances of the clergy of both the Jewish and gentile races who assert (and with good reason and sound logic) that Cupid is no respecter of persons. For a thousand years the Jews have been despised among all nations. Less than fifty years ago this race was the butt of ridicule, the victim of coarse gibes and jests, the objects of scorn and contumely and of the ignorant and pitying contempt of a race whose chief asset is its complacent egotism. The Jew has been a plodder. His patience, his persistency, his dogged determination, his indomitable will power, have each and all combined to convince the all knowing and farseeing gentile that, after all, there may be something in the promise made to these people as contained in the whole of the twenty-eighth chapter of Deuteronomy and particularly in verses 8 to 11. And now in the year 1910 a leading gentile newspaper devotes seven columns to a discussion of the intermarriage of Jews and gentiles. And representative clergymen of both these races—one as old as civilization, the other a composite of many races and no history to speak of—have placed themselves on record as favoring mixed marriages. Will the same reasons and logic and philosophy apply to intermarriage between another race quite as old as the Jewish race and the gentiles? Would the clergy of the gentile faith be as unanimous in their approval of such marriages, or would they draw the line upon a respectable Negro and a respectable white woman who preferred marriage to a life of shame? The subject in the light of recent developments is certainly interesting and significant as showing the state of mind into which the power and influence of the Jewish race upon American civilization have thrown the gentile race, so called. "The stone that the builders had rejected has become the head of the corner." The coming race in America, unless all prophecies fall, is the Jewish race, and gentiles will do well to get on the band wagon in time. COURT RULING GIVES HOPE. Incorporated Bodies Must Not Discriminate Against Afro-Americans. Because no provision is made for the education of Negro children the law for establishing county agricultural high schools was declared unconstitutional by the state supreme court at Jackson, Miss., recently. The law specifically states that schools are to be for "white youth." The decision determines exactly what the informer has always contended was the law relating to the proscription of Negroes in any organized body that requires statutory authority or the membership of which needs judicial construction. Unless provision is made for Negro membership in all incorporated bodies their respective charters will be unconstitutional and hence Negroes using the same work either in text books of schools or rituals of secret orders, the membership of which is limited to "white" folks, will be guilty of no offense, as such organization can have no legal existence until it wipes out the word "white" from its limitation to membership. It follows, therefore, that the Elks, Pythians, Odd Fellows or other incorporated secret bodies or chartered schools can none of them exclude Negroes from membership by limiting the membership to "white" and have any standing in the courts if the matter is properly presented. The Informer does not know who has defended the suits against the colored Pythians or Elks, but offers this as a pointer to those engaged in future litigation of this nature.—Detroit (Mich.) Informer. Good Showing For Charitable Work. The large number of families supplied with Christmas dinners and other useful materials by the various charitable institutions among Afro-Americans during the recent holiday season should give sufficient encouragement to those who have given financial aid to such organisations or institutions in the past to give more liberally this year. Food, clothing and fuel as well as cash will be thankfully received by the directors and wisely used for the purpose for which they are given. The members of the Concord Baptist Church of Christ in Brooklyn, of which the late Dr. William T. Dixon was the successful pastor for more than forty-five years, will soon complete payment on their church property, which is valued at about $50,000. After burning the mortgage the church will call a pastor. President Taft Is Not a Statesman? The consensus of enlightened opinion in this country, says the Dallas (Tex.) Express, is that President Taft is not a statesman. Well, the country need not suffer on that account, for there are numbers of men in Washington and elsewhere in the country who thoroughly understand the game of government. Young Men Should Heed This Advice. Editor Sol C. Johnson of the Savannah (Ga.) Tribune hews close to the line. He wisely asks: "Why rent a home in a crowded neighborhood when with a small payment down and the same amount possibly that you are paying in rent could be bought a home of your own in a less crowded neighborhood? Let our young men consider this and act for their good and the good of their children." MRS. A. M. POPE-TURNBO. MRS. L. L. ROBERTS A 4 years ago my hair was only a finger-length, and my temples 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. POPH.

The fault can only be corrected by notification. No paper should be as late as Monday in reaching the subscriber. handling of a business has been entrusted to the popular choice at elections. Private corporations cannot stop stealing with all the care in selecting employees. Public officials who choose their helpers from their relatives, and their political heelers, can do no better. The Water System Must Be Made to Pay. Under private ownership it is up to the Denver Union Water company to make its business pay. Rates are fixed during the life of its franchise and if it makes a bad bargain, it must abide the consequences. Under municipal ownership, the system must still be made to pay, or the loss will have to be made up out of the other revenues of the city. THERE IS NO SOME THING-FOR-NOTHING SERVICE. THERE IS NO BELOW-COST SERVICE. ONE CANNOT GIVE THA WHICH HE HAS NOT. This is common sense. Therefore the only way in which municipal ownership can give lower rates is on lower cost of securing and distributing the water, or of doing away with the profit that goes with private ownership. The cost of maintenance can hardly be shaved down. Who ever heard of a public contract which does not fatten some official's purse? These Conditions Will Surely Obtain. Every labor contract will be fought for by some labor union. Water rights must be maintained to provide for the future growth of the city at the same heavy expense the private company now bears. Extensions of the system will mean private graft then for water commissioners and their friends the same as now city officials are charged with using their knowledge of the extensions of the park and boulevard system to secure valuable options on land. But this is a minor matter compared with the log-rolling and political trading which would come. With a private corporation under definite contract in return for its franchise, any citizen can get justice in the courts, but the city cannot be sued in such a matter. It will hold no franchise to supply water, and no contract will bind its commissioners to act in any given manner. We entirely agree with the Rocky Mountain News when it says: "The direct relation between effort and reward, which stimulates private enterprise, is and always must be absent from public work; and its absence alone is quite enough to account for a lower level of efficiency."

The fault can only should be as late as Monday in reach- of cost due to waste and graft, usually estimated in public enterprises at 40 per cent., places a handicap upon municipal ownership difficult for it to overcome. Any discussion of this question must take them into account. Business, whether public or private, must be run right to succeed. There is no divine unction in the citizen's vote that makes infallible an official chosen at the polls and directs his efforts in the one perfect way. On the contrary, politics as played in this country usually gets a choice of evils and rarely represents the highest intelligence or greatest honesty. Let us not delude ourselves. Communism may be ideal. It may mean the greatest good for all, but so long as selfishness is the mainspring of human activity, we may not expect anything grounded on communism to be free from human frailty. Add to this the same difficulties which beset private enterprises, and it is clear why we appeal to the colored citizens to consider well. Chase no pot of gold at the end of a rainbow, because some zealot believes his dream creatures are real. Money is coming in very slow in the civil rights cases. It is thought that there will be more race loyalty and principle and forethought for the next generation than has hitherto been shown financially in these cases.
