at Colorado Springs. and in the winter
he would work at his trade, and in the
summer he would pack a burro with
his outfit and follow the beast on foot

him into winter quarters again.
Stratton was invariably unsuccessful
in these summer trips. Year after year
he prospected in the San Juan, at Lead
Vile and in other sections, but found
nothing. But he was all the time &C.

Colorado college. After that he went

Figures furnished by Auditor Cole
show that the state of Mississippi col
lected poll taxes from 1898 more per-
sons last year than the year before,
and yet there are nearly as many
who do not pay this So tax as do, and
the state is a loser to the tune of
about 100000. In 1899 the sum uf
$2S0,074 was collected on account of
polls and for 1000 the collections on
the same account were s294,222. And
these delinquents are not all negroes,
by a long shot; there are thousands
of white men who are abundantly
able to pay their taxes, and who do
pay other taxes, who never think of
paying the poll tax. The reason is
plain enough-the sheriff and tax COL
lector having 10 authority to col
lect a poll by distress and sale, as
he has for other taxes. The payment
of the poll tax was not made COM
pulsory by the builders of the present
constitution of the state, but it is n
of the prerequisites to the right OF
suffrage, and without the payment of
which no man can vote. The legisla-
ture has been trying for some years
to devise means CT encouraging the
payment of the poll tax, but so far
success has not crowned their Efforts.

The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1901-04-20

They spoke easily, fuently, and some
times eloquently. Their papers Eek
hibited much breadth of thought
such breadth of thought as can belong
only to great-minded persons. There
was a singular absence of provincial
ISM" The writer also says that while
the members were of all shades there
were some pretty, even beautiful,
women among them. She says: 81
heard one white woman remark that
she had never seen so many pretty
women together before. It was espe-
cially noticeable that those who took
prominent part were generally remark
able for their physical development.
They gave the impression of strength
of every kind-physical strength as
we'll as mental and moral. They would
have been leaders in any race"
A notable feature of this gathering
was the direction of it's efforts. These
women were not reading papers and
making speeches for the mutual delec-
tatiop, or mutual Improvement, or from
motives of personal vanity, but with
the view of uplifting their own people
and helping their race to better
things. There is something allied to
the pathetic in this spectacle of a little
handful of the Clover race working
to the extent of their ability to foster
the race spirit and to elevate it, and
improve it, and raise the moral stand
ards
r. The race, color or condition preju-
dice-whichever it may properly be de-
nominated-is one of the most incon-
sistent and senseless that exists in this
country, and we hope the fair and
lofty-minded white women of the
North Star state will set their common
sense heels upon it with unmistakable
emphasis so far as the admission of
Afro-American members to the FEEDER
alton is concerned.
