RICHARDSON CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS Next Monday, August 1, the qualified voters of Texas will settle the fate of four provisional submitted to the electorate of this state for amend the state constitution, and at least WHOLE-SOULED SUPPORT AND VOTE of EVERY NEGRO CITIZEN IN THE LONE STAR COMMON-WEALTH. One of the constitutional amendments proposed will abolish the iniquous fee system in Texas—the present system where every officer, who is even remotely connected with the preparation of papers or trying of a case in a justice or county court, is found guilty and fired for some alleged infraction or violation of the law. Next to lynch the fee system, which has outraged and robbed more Negro than any other form of Southern (in) justice, is wholly indefensible and renders a fair and impartial trial—often where all arresting and interested officers are financially concerned in the outcome of the case. No newspaper in Texas has opposed and fought this nefarious and unjust court system like The Informer! The same constitutional amendment provides for the salary increase of the senator for the salary increase of the senator again we favor the proposition, for with a real current compensation for the senator, we have a present and senator, it is both possible and probable that our law-makers legislature, where the solons will be men and women of broad vision bent on the great cause, already conferred upon this body in a more limited manner; and to increase the membership of the senators in members and other judiciary reform. While not so enthusiastic concern the proposition on the ballot, and to increase the membership of the senators to levy taxation. The Informer does favor the other measures, and particularly to abolish the damming of governor and members of legislature, and to reform the judiciary system of the state. Negroes of Texas can render a note Monday by going to their state next for three constitutional changes, and that they can to remove Texas from the state is the laughing stock and joke of other American states along the where legal changes are proposed.

HOUSTON PRODUCTS DOING WELL AS DOCTORS IN NEW YORK STATE FRANCIS' RECENT APPOINTMENT STIRS DULL HOPE AMONG LEADERS; TEXAN "POWER BEHIND THRONE" DR. ARTRUN M. WILLIAMS, White Plains, N. Y., one of the many young men to graduate from the Housen High School, in the son of Prof. and Mrs. S. B. Williams, 1412 Cleveland, who are spending their vacation in New York with their three son: Vivian, Arthur and Percy, as they are well and favorably known in the city of their活性. Dr. Williams is also a graduate of Pomona College, Claremont, Calif., and was a professor at Prairie View State College before graduating in medical course at Dartmouth College, Hanover, N. H., where he received his M. D. degree. He also served an internship in the city hospital of St. Louis, Mo., and has a very lucrative position among both places in White Plains and elsewhere. (By ALBERT ANDERSON) Washington, D. C.—The announcement of the appointment of the Hon. "Billy" Francis as minister to Liberian has awakened somewhat the more or less somnalent politicians whether they live along "the Potomac" or in more distant parts of this "free republic." The quietude of the Coolidge policy at least insofar as it effects things racial, had lulled them to sleep and fitful dreams of despondency. Most of the political brethren are still wondering how it all happened, but are sitting up peering about in the hope that more activity may appear on the horizon. In the meantime those who actually put over the job are breathing a sigh of relief. Only a few know that only by the barest breadth did Liberia escape having a white minister. The man had been picked, recommended and his appointment was only averted by hard effort and clever political efforts. In the same way, the first of the two were the love of the credit, because of the quiet, effective manner in which he led forces into the fray. The threatened point of view of a white minister not due to any lack of colored candidates. Charles Mitchell of West Virginia, was a most active applicant. Atty. George Woodson of Iowa, despite his age, had a great deal of confidence. In the first year of weight, National Committeeman Ben J. Davis, and Perry Howard had united on the son of Dr. Harris of Augusta, Ga., while the "advisory committee" was the only one to be a member of the last campaign endorsed Mr. Francis. This group had Hon. Clarence Matthew's support sent from faraway San Francisco. All this, the growing importance of Liberia since the entry of the Firestones and the probable increase of the salary to $10,000 a year made it looks like "a white man's job." The function of the firestones was to be the "unfortunate, it is said. Too, they had the unfortunate record of previous incumbents. DR. VIVIAN L. WILLIAMS of Brooklyn, N. Y., another wife of Fred, and Mrs. S. B. Williams of Houston, selected "the city across the river" as a good place to hang his shingle after completing his medical course. He is now enjoying excellent practice and is acquiring really strong practice in Brooklyn. Dr. Williams, who visited his parents a few years ago, has graduated from the High School and is enrolled into the army during his junior year at Pomona College, Carsonmont, Calif. During the civil war he was a lieutenant in the A. E. F. being gassed during that titanic military holocaust.

He is of a natural religious bent, yet he never was developed along this line. The slave sat in segregated churches and heard the white preachers preach, heard the white congregations sing and pray, and something in his (the Negro's) soul leaped out, and grasped and gripped the deeper spiritual things of the white man's religion.” Dr. Miller charged that the mere fact that a race may be observed with the American white can necessarily mean not imply that said race is inferior; that one race which boasts of its superiority may, after all, be inferior to other races. "The American white can contrast with the eminent inferior to the eminent edent minor, the edent minor, the edent minor, and the European consider themselves superior to the American white.

He made an impassioned plea to the Negro race to believe in itself and to stop aping after the superficials of his race.

RACE TEACHERS RAISE FUND TO HELP STUDENTS (Promotion News Service) Fayetteville, N.C.—What is believed to be the first instance in the South of an effort by a Negro educational institution to raise a student loan fund without first appealing to outside public opinion, night at the North Carolina State Normal School. At an enthusiastic gathering of the 326 teachers attending the summer session of the state normal school $310 was paid to the students. The teachers took the form of a "county rally." Robeson county took first place, reporting $75.9.

PRESTON 7500 CIVIC UNREST Editorial Galveston colored population has al- most all the white people of this community in every phase of life's welfare. That is why the city is so proud of that strife that is yet being felt, and it is canning considerable unrest among the white people. This has been caused by certain portion of the city being designated as white alone — in places like Galveston and places are being posted for white The unfortunate thing about this is that our white population does not seem to clearly understand that our group has no disposition to want to comingle with them in any social way either in public bathing parks or anything of the life. There seems no one to be presenting, at this time the necessity of white supremacy, for that has always been the unwritten law everywhere, and our group has no disposition to want to contest this tradition. We object to these agitations because they bring on nothing but race strife, and yet bring nothing but terror to our group to see any position of the group. Anything of the kind. If there are those of our group who would impose themselves upon white society, they are but few, and belong to the unthinkable class. We want to feel that we are safe in the protection of the law in our movements. We can't believe that the best element of our white citizens will tolerate anything that will be used to agitation the basis of racial hatred. Just how Galveston in the midst of every endeavor of our interracial committees striving to clarify race relationship can afford to allow its officers to pursue such a policy against an unoffending and helpless part of its citizenship. Instead of stirring up race strife, Galveston should fall in line with other policies in better establishing race havency. The Informer has been adopted as a multiplace thriller and we are taking this occasion to admonish our group not to be alarmed, for we have an adding bias to constitutional rights guaranteed us by the Constitution, which we too must lay our lives upon the star in the protection of "Oid the observer she may have her banner.

THINGS THAT MIGHT HAPPEN All of the local social clubs might get together soon and make out a real program for the fall and winter season. The Thirty Club might give a real experience.

FITZWATER, D.D. Desm Moody Hills Institute of Charac- lery.) 0:127, Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for July 31 DAVID AND JONATHAN LESSON TEXT I - Samuel 18:14-18:17. TABLE THREE - There is a friend that attaches to the primary TOPIC-TwoGood Friends. JUNIOR TOPIC-TwoGood Friends. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC-TwoGood Friends. POPULAR AND ADULT TOPIC-The Obligations of Friendship. The friendship of David and Jonah has become immortalized in the world's thought. It was unique in that it occurred between two men of the same age, and was the crown prince, the heir to the throne. David was held according to the divine choice and arrangement. Jonah knew them and unanimously agreed that the one he knew God and chosen. 1. Friendship Defended Between David and Jonathan (I. Samm 18:1:4). Following the interview of Saul and David after the victory over Goliath, Jonathan's soul was knit with that of David. While there was mutual love, this pleasing trait stands out more prominently in Jonathan than in David. While there was mutual love, the loss of the throne; while it meant immense gain to David, the acquisition of the throne to which he no longer had to covet. Covenant established (v. 3, 4). Following the love covenant between them, Jonathan stripped himself of his court robe and his equipment. David was a virtual abdication of the throne to David. Jonathan Defended David Against Saul's Frenzy (I. Samm 18:1:7). David went into the battle with Goliath out of zeal for God and true religion—not for personal glory, but for the salvation of his God, he made God first, God honored him. Upon David's return from victory over his Philadelphians, according to Origen, he marched to the mural chorus of women from all the cities of Israel chanting praises to him for his victory over their enemy. They ascribed more praise and honor to David than to any other seemed to be answering chants. The one song, "Sau has slain his thousands," the other answered, "and屠了我的生命," the sing the praises of a shepherd boy surpassing his own was too much for Saul. It aroused murderous envy among the soldiers. David heart and moved him twice to attempt to kill David. This wickedness was in his heart as a bitter feeling, but he was not a victim. It made him a burning passion of eel. In Saul's third attempt to kill David, Jonathan defended him before his father and evoked from him the outrage that he caused. He thus exposed himself to the anger of his infuriated father for David's sake. Hilton Jonathan Revealed to David Saward numerous Inter (I. Sim. 20:20-40). The beginning of the new moon was celebrated by sacrifice and feasting and David's expectations were expected to be present (v. 5), David's excuse for being absent was the early sacrifice of the entire family. The annual feast was more important than the monthly feast. Matter was more important than the monthly feast. David renewed the covenant between themselves. In this renewal the terms were broadened beyond the life of David. David was now so fierce that for Jonathan to be found in David's company was more dangerous, so he cleverly planned to kill David. David to David Saward's attitude and purpose. We prove our friendship by warning those who are exposed to danger, and we prove David's ability to Jonathan's seed forever. This plledge was faithfully carried out and Concerning real friendship observe: 1. It should be made white both parties are young, when the hearts are capable of being knit together. We should be careful in the formation of friendships. For though we should love everybody we can have but few friendships. Friendship should be formed for the best friend. We can no real friendship except when mind is on both sides. 2. Real friendship can only be with fearing people. Both David and George organized their obligation to the Lord.

It is not infrequently, however, that a Negro community is only a hand full of the race. These churches are mainly social centers where the communal life of the isolated group heads up. There is much of a need for a more serious rivalry in the mountain region. I find that the A. M. E. Church is by all odds the dominant denomination throughout the West. The Baptists, who are not sufficiently numerous and only have a very serious rivalry in the mountain region, are only two Baptist churches in the mountain region. The denomination grows up as a tender plant and as a root out of dry ground. Perhaps there is not enough water for its aqueous needs. The ministers are almost without exception young men of intelligence, energy and a wide awake to maintain himself in the exact position he desires. This is aribute to this the wisdom of the presiding bishops or to the fact that unless the minister is alert and wide awake on cannot maintain himself in the exact position he desires, he must be a member of the social salvation of these little groups of Negroes in the mountain fastnesses. The annual and general conference, the visitation of the preacher and the wide awake on the bishop, keep each community in intimate and vital touch with the Negroes. The domestic visits have much of the same effect. These little communities are too small to maintain a Negro physician, a nurse, a doctor, a nurse and a doctor. He rarely ever has to depend exclusively upon racial patronage. He only needs to get a foot-fool and a start among his own race. The whites, eschewing the need to find the Negroes complementary.

Herndon of Atlanta, Georgia, president of the Atlanta Life Insurance Company and owner of a chain of barber shops in that city catering exclusively to white trade, removes from the public arena one of the most outstanding business successes of the Negro race, and a man of vast and varied interests. Though born a slave, Mr. Herndon did not permit this situation to deter nor discourage him, and as soon as the Civil War had ended and his liberation effected, he started a one-man barber shop in Atlanta, saved his money, improved and enlarged his business and at the time of his demise was giving employment to more than 40 members of his race in his barber shops alone. Having amassed a considerable fortune from his torsorial parors and other investments in Atlanta, Mr. Herndon was instrumental in organizing the Atlanta Life Insurance Company of Atlanta, which ranks today as one of the safest, soundest and most dependable life insurance companies owned and operated by Negroes in America, or the world. Mr. Herndon's rise in the business and commercial world, though he was born amidst humble and almost beggarly surroundings, is another concrete example of the Negro's wide sphere of activity and limitless field in business in the South. Despite what may be said about the South and its attitude towards the Negro along many other lines, Dixie affords the black man a most virgin and fertile field in which to work out his economic and commercial salvation "without fear or trembling." The masses of our people reside in the South and will continue to live here for countless years to come, and the Negro who embarks in business and conducts his business on a safe, sound, sensible and business-like basis will seldom, if ever, have "ne plus ultra" written across his pathway; and, if he does not succeed, the fault is invariably in the individual essay to operate the business rather than in the Negro race. Some few years back the Negro business man, even if he hed the ability, possessed the merchandise and was able to "deliver the goods," lived at a poor dying rate or died at a poor living rate; but the black race is fastly developing a racial consciousness in many communities, particularly of the South, and consequently Negro business and professional men are enjoying an appreciable amount of trade and patronage from members of the race. While admitting that this condition is not as good nor favorable as might be desired, an excellent beginning has been made in any number of town and cities of the South where Negroes are engaged in business and the professions, and a better and brighter day appears to be in the offing for black business and professional men and women throughout Dixie. In the death of Mr. Herndon the race has lost one of its safe and sane leaders, and a man whose material success did not alienate him from his race, nor cause him to endeavor to hold himself aloof from the members of his racial group. Too many Negroes, as soon as they begin to "get up in the world," begin to look with disdain upon their own people; attempt to "run away" from those who helped them to get where they are, or where they think they are; endeavor to pose as critics and find fault continually with members of their own race and, often, members of their immediate families; become chronic kickers and knockers and can never discern any virtue or good in any project, movement or venture emanating from or launched by members of their same race. Measured in terms of opportunities, service and results, the late Mr. Herndon was truly a great man, for he caught the true spirit and import of greatness, and demonstrated to the world that poverty—even human bondage—is no deterrent to the man who makes up his mind and determines to attain the highest possible either in business, commerce, professions, art, science or whatnot. May his highly successful life serve as an inspiration and incentive to members of the race who continually cry that "the Negro is not a slave in the South," and make the greatest effort has bequeathed to posterity be employed and utilized to the best interest of the race with which Mr. Herndon was identified, and to the social family. Requiescat in pace! SWEET CASE ENDS SWEETLY! The action of the court at Detroit, Michigan, in droppin all cases pounding against Dr. Ossian H. Sweet, Negro dentist, around whom a race riot was almost staged during 1925, and his nine co-defender, is a signal, yea, "sweet" victory for the Negro race and The Houston Informer America's Greatest Weekly Newspaper die-class whites, a mob of hoodlums, ruffians and Huns attacked his newly-acquired domicile during 1925, and sought to do both house and occupants physical damage. When the peace officers, who were milling around in the mob, or directing the mobocratic crowd to the Sweet home (according to testimony brought out in the trial of Dr. Sweet), refused to give this Negro dentist and his family protection from this angry and howling gang, the bombardment of the Sweet home with missiles was met with gun fire from some of the occupants of this attacked house. The state at first sought to prove that Dr. Sweet and a number of his relatives and friends had entered into a conspiracy to kill the white hoodlum slain in the original attack on the race dentist's home, basing this claim on the ground that these colored Americans had plenty of firearms and ammunition and sufficient food in the larder to last for several weeks. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, realizing that one of the fundamental guarantees and warranties of the American constitution was being assailed and threatened, intervened in the employed Hon. Clarence Darrow, the most noted criminal lawyer in America. Associated with Mr. Darrow were Hons. Arthur Garfield Hays of New York, Walter Nelson, Thomas Chawke, Julian W. Perry, Cecil O. Rowlette and Charles Mahoney, all of Detroit, last three being colored attorneys. THE NEG (By KELLY) My last release last week dealt last sippisii states. I am the inter-mountain region. During the past and previous time look upon the con section under. There is a rams Negroes in the mills of the Springs, Springs, Pocotella ane, Tucson, Phoen. From one we may conclusion can be that the Amore strayly in a dutiful city attrentive and pleasant inviident for the national of Denver; the Amore season here. The Amore is being colored attorneys. All eleven defendants were tried jointly in the first trial, the jury disagreeing. Thereupon, Mr. Darrow demanded separate trials for the defendants, and the state chose for the first trial Henry Sweet, a student at Wilberforce University and younger brother to Dr. Sweet, the state's attorneys believing that the case against him was the strongest. After deliberating for fully three hours and one-half, the jury returned a verdict of "not guilty" against young Sweet, and last week the state noelle prossed its cases against the other ten defendants in the celebrated Sweet case. This case attracted both national and international attention, and if the defendants had been members of any other race save the black race, and had been defending their home against the attacks and onslaughts of hoodlums and barbarians, it is doubtful if an arrest would have ever been made, even though some of the attackers fell mortally wounded. The American genius holds to the dictum that a man's home is his castle, and that a man has the inalienable and inherent right to protect his home and loved ones, at the very hazard of his life and with any means, from external aggression, and it is a very poor man who will not protect and safeguard his earthly castle. As the champion and defender of outraged and wronged Negroes in all sections of the country, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has scored another distinct and signal victory in the outcome of the criminal cases against the eleven colored defendants in the Sweet case; and, by so doing, this national organization has again demonstrated that it is worthy of the support (moral and financial), endorsement and respect of the national capital and fundamental principles on which this republic is founded. NEW NEGRO AND NEW DISEASES Vital statistics of the leading Negro fraternal orders and insurance companies doing business in Texas, made public during 1928 and 1927, indicate that the Negro race is being victimized nowadays by new diseases—that is, by the diseases which formerly had no terrors for black men and women. Formerly tuberculosis and pneumonia claimed the majority of the insured in the various Negro secret orders and insurance companies, but now diseases of the heart lead the field; showing that the "new Negro" is being afflicted with "new diseases." Of course, diseases of the heart cover a multitude of complaints and maladies, yet more of our people are dying from this disease than from those which heretofore claimed so many of our people. Close on the heels of diseases of the heart come diseases of the kidneys, with apoplexy occupying a high position in the mortuary column. Most medical and scientific authorities are agreed that these modern diseases are the result, more or less, of a fast civilization; and the fact that Negroes are falling victims to these modern diseases is undoubtedly an indication that our people are going too merry a gait. Some attribute this alarming showing in diseases of the heart and kidneys to bootleg liquor and other home-brew concoctions; contending that no such situation obtained during the days of "better booze and bigger barrels," when a saloon was located on every strategic corner, while today a brewery or still is an important adjunct to many households! The fact remains, however, bootleg liquor or no poisoned hooch, that too many Negroes are dying from complaints and diseases which constitute the penalty of speed, excitement and modern methods of living, and The Informer is of the opinion that our medical authorities and health leaders will be forced to adopt a new educational campaign and teach our people how to "take their feet off the accelerator!" For years our medical and health leaders have been teaching our people how to reduce their mortality against the "white plague," and other dreaded diseases, and the result of this educational campaign has been the reduction of death from such sources to a much lower level than it has been since the Negro became free and sought to work out his destiny "under his own vine and fruit." As soon as victory was about to perch upon our racial standards in this respect, it was discovered that Negroes are worrying too much, mostly about imaginary lilies or at all; that they are making too heavy exactions on their hearts and kidneys by the food they eat, the manner in which they eat it, the various concoctions they imbibe, loss of sleep, et cetera. (diseases if (such they can be termed); in the main, are the result of employment from labor; for an "dile brain is the devil's workshop," and very few people die with heart trouble or kidney diseases due to hard work, attending to their own business, living sensibly and wisely and not falling for the "mess" and "gossip"—calculated to precipitate worry, uneasiness and quick pulsation of the heart, as well as mental strain and fatigue, and is often conquered up in the mind of some other idiot or busybody. Why, it is alarming to see and hear so many young Negro women talking about being afflicted with "nervous spells" and "bad hearts"; while entirely too many young men are victims of heart and kidney diseases! There is something wrong with our racial mechanism, and the time is ripe for some eminent diagnostician to diagnose our case. OPINIONS THE NEGRO IN THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS (BY KELLY MILLER, Howard University, Washington, D. C.) My last release was written from Denver. I am now writing from Seattle. I dealt last week with the Negro in the Northern division of the trans-Mississippi states. At this time I am concerned with the colored contingent in the North. Next week, keep my present mind, I shall touch upon the Pacific slope. During the past week, I have traversed the Rocky Mountains. During this and previous iteraries across the continent it has been my good fortune to look upon the condition of the brother in black in practically every city in the section under analysis. The uniformity of conditions in all of these places. The Negroes in the mountains differ from those on the plains mainly in that they are more strictly isolated and defined. In the language of Julius Ceasar, they are hemmed on all sides by the nature of the place. Denver, Colorado Springs, Poccella, Bolsa, Butte, Billings, Cheyenne, Salt Lake City, Spokane, Phoenix, New Mexico and Columbus, all tell the same tale. The conclusion is that the Negroes in the mountains conclude can be drawn, if the analysis is sufficiently skilled in deduction. Denver, Colorado, is the largest of the inter-mountain cities, so far as the Negro group is concerned. Located midway between the oceans, this altitudinal city attracts a large number of transient Negroes who find here a great variety of opportunities. The conclusion for the national organizations. The N. A. A. C. P. holds its last session in Denver; the National Baptist Convention is now planning its approaching session here. The Woodmen of the World have located their headquarters in this suburban city. But aside from size and convenience as a meeting point, Denver Negroes labor under the same limitations as the other Rocky The Negro is excluded, or rather not permitted to enter the standard type of industry. They are kept out with all but religious rigidity. Pueblo, Colorado, at one time seemed to be an exception. The great steel mills are located here which have given large opportunity to both manual and skilled Negro labor. But the lines are drawing tighter to the detriment and disadvantage of the colored workmen. I met with this universal plant, that is, the Negro workmen, who were formerly theirs. In Salt Lake City, working opportunities are reserved for Mormons. Colored waiters are still employed at the great Mormon hotel, but aside from this, the Negro male hardly finds anything to do. The women have a better chance in domestic and household industries. Porters janitors and odds and end jobs constitute the chief wage earning opportunities of the Afro-American in this whole region. The Negro population in these cities is small and tends towards gradual decline from Denver with eight thousand Negroes, the other cities range from nine hundred down to one hundred and still further to a mere handful. Some twenty years ago, I contributed an article to the Forum magazine on "The Growth and Distribution of the Negro Population." This was long before the rise of what we now call "segregation." In this article I laid down the general proposition, that wherever the Negro population was thin, tended to grow thinner; and where it was dense, it tended to become denser, and in black wards in the large cities. The movements of the last two decades have greatly justified this forecast. The perturbation caused by the war does not seriously upset or frustrate this firm tendency. The Negroes in the Northern trans-Mississippi states, and especially in the Rocky Mountain region is destined to disappear or to reduce in the negligible. The great bulk will ultimately be found in the South and in the large cities in the Northeast, where they will settle into more or less segregated areas. The great power of the population which we are powerless to frustrate or to seriously modify. There are no Negroes on the farm in this hard, dry, mountainous country. Several farming colonies have been inaugurated, but so far as I can learn they have all come to grief. The failure has been due, either to a lack of capital to bridge over the temporary exedences of the redeemed parish deserts, or to the lack of a proper church to stand on the mountain heights overlooking Salt Lake City, even as the mountains round about encompassed Jerusalem of old, a food of feeling and speculation flows through his mind and imagination. Brigham Young was an unadulterated Nordic, with all of the tough, stubborn spirit of Teutonic determination. Under the stimulation of a religious ideal he planted a colony of Vermont yoenem in the heart of the wilderness, a thousand miles away from the city of New York, and he lived as ever belful human hopes. But focusing the manhood of his race up on the rigors of his environment; while passing through Archer, he made it a well, and caused the wilderness to bloom and blossom as a rose. Utha is a rich and powerful empire, based upon her agricultural resources rescued from the desert by dint of perseverance, as well as surpassing rihmin in his ability to cultivate crops, and he initiated, the determination, the endurance and sustained endower to such as the white race has exhibited in winning the West? Or must he forever dwell where the white race has pitched its tents, as a hewer of wood and a drawer of water? The race that cannot stand in the sun must abide in the shade; a people who abide in the shade will be sickly and puny. The race needs the hardship to battle with primary conditions as the whites occupy the American continent, and especially in the great Rocky Mountain empire. Throughout all of these states colored children attend the common schools on equal terms with the rest. Mixed schools do not exist anywhere; for you can have mixed schools only where there is mixed public mind. Where the public mind is white, the schools will be white, albeit a few colored children are white. The schools will be black, white, and colored. In the states, where there is scholastic separation of the races. This is due to the fact that the arid state wishes to imitate the South, in as other respects, and also to the fact that he handful of Negroes desire it. In Colorado, especially in Denver, a recent attempt has been made to separate educational provisions for the two races. But the tax payers stubbornly rebelled. When the Negroes were allowed to attend the schools against forty thousand whites, they could not be invigilated into the folly of operating a dual system at such needless expense. The proposition fell under the weight of its own absurdity. This is not a matter of sentiment on the part of the white voter, but of the same economic sommage. But although the Negroes attend the common school, they derive their education from the schools. The schools must manage and control. Relativity of numbers and the exactions of a manipuished jointly lead to this exclusion. I am creditably informed that there is not a single Negro teacher in the inter-mountain states, except in purely Negro settlement, like Deerfield, Colorado, and in Arizona, where the schools are white. The schools are black. The schools are mixed schools and the lessening of the exactions of the race prejudice. Those who advocate mixed schools as a solution of the race problem will find that the Negroes are not the only minority in mixed schools and the lessening of the exactions of the race prejudice.
