rebuke and condemnation. Jus
tice weeps because equality of
citizenship is a folly; her laws
only apply to certain class and
select few; mockery is her ambi-
ton and the burning at the stake
OF her faithful black allies is a hol-
lday for her barbarians. The laws
of our republic sleep soundly when
the black man is involved. and
equity feeds uopn the helpless car
cass of the faithful and true defen-
ders of Our bOasted republic. As
the brook runs, so does the blood
of the colored man flow from his
veins and the citizens and their
laws stand idly by and witnesses
with admission their fallen and
bleeding forms. What a republic
this is, that other nations are called
upon te respect, honor and uphold.
Our flag has many stars and as
time decays so do these stars in
crease and equally as fast do we
acquire more territory. This is a
republic in which the rat, dog and
Cat have better protection than
Gods Ebony beings.

Newell plant, he had mastered prac-
tically every detail of irrigation and
could run the plant, with its bitches
and, sluice gates, about as we'll as his
grandfather could.
After receiving the rudiments of
his education at Needham, Mass.
young Newell took a course in the
Massachusetts Institute. of Technol-
Ogy, and after graduation went to
Colorado in 1852 to engage in min
ing.
subsequently he entered the geo
logical survey, where he proceeded
10 make a speciality of irrigation.
and no man was more proud and
delighted than was he when the last
congress indorsed his ideas by max
ing an appropriation of some $5. .0OO.-
600 or S6,O00,0OO for the purpose OF
beginning this great work.
recent statement by Mr.. New
ell, in the Boston Globe, concerning
his course as a member of the geo
logical survey, contains an = impor-
tant lesson for young men.
When | first entered the service
of the geological survey" said Mr..
Newell, II saw that there was verv
little chance for any one to forge
ahead unless he originated some
thing altogether new and aside from
the general line of work as il was
then carried on by the survey.
Every department was filed bv
some person well advanced in years
who had originated and huilt up his
own particular line OF work. and 7
determined, therefore, to turn nv
knowledge of irrigation To account.
Running my eye over the map of the
west, / saw whole states and sec
tions of states, arid, unsettled and
unfit for habitatiOn.
"Unless something was done to
convert these barren and arid tracts
into fruitful and habitabIe lands
many of these territories could never
gain populations large enough to
become states, but would continue
Tor all time to remain territories.
l. therefore, inaugurated and de-
veloped plans for a complete hvdro-
graphic survey of the west. to ascer-
tam the practicability of irrigation
IN these parts. This survey is stu
n progress. and has proven a com
plete success
The areas in which the various re-
gions to be treated On this vast scale
extend from Canada TO Mexico and
rom the Missouri river 10 the Paci-
iic. and the work of survey has only
Just begun.
The reclaimed lands are to be sold
70 settlers. not more than 16o acres
being allowed to one person. and in
this way the work will soon he made
practically self-supporting. the rev
e"ue derived from the first lands ra-

FRIEND OF FARMERS
Mr.. Newell, Chief photographer Of
Geological Survey.
Author of the Great Scheme of Arid
Land Reclamation in the West,
Recently IndOrsed by the
COngress

1t seems odd that the man who is
chiefly responsible for the great
scheme of irrigation in the vast arid
regions of the west should have
learned his earliest lessons in iTri-
CATION in Massachusetts,.
The man to whom, more than to
anyone else, is due the credit for
mapping out this great and expen-
sive plan of reclamation Is Freder-
lex II. Newell, chief photographer of
the United States geological survey,
Who, though born in Bradford Pa,
is descended from old New England
stock, and was himself brought up
on a Bay state farm. after taking a
course of engineering instruction at
the Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology.
His father before him was a civil
engineer, and it is a curious circum-
stance that his grandfather, Arte-
mus Newell who once conducted a
farm about u miles from Boston,
was the first man north Of Mexico
and California, to introduce a prac-
teal system of irrigation.
This sturdy New England son of
the soil during the early part Of
President Buchanan's administration
had occasion 10 make trip to
southern France. and there had his
eyes opened TO the value of irriga-
tion as a means of rendering fruit
ful otherwise unproductive wastes
of sandy land.
Mr.. Newelrs interest in this sys-
tenn appears TO have been transmit
ted to his son and grandson, for the
latter, from the time he first set
eyes on the original irrigation plant
on the old Newell homestead, be-
came an enthusiast.

suit of his boyish studies of the

eDubICan State executive committee
at meeting here TO-DAY preliminary

party adopted a resolution excluding
all negroe from the councils Of the Re-
publican party IN Alabama. This was
emphasized by unseating all cOlOred

morrow's convention. white contest
ants appearing and being seated IN
each case. A number of leading negro
Republicans, including A. ID. WimhS
OF Greensboro, and Nathan Alexander,
of Monte omery, appeared before the
committee and bitterly opposed the
SteD Whi-h was afterwards taken. They
declared that the exclusion OF the ne
groes would be punished IN other States
where the negroes and negro sYmpa-
thizerS, and that President Roosevelt
himself would call the white leaders to
account.
The white leaders replied that the
Democrats had taken the ballot from
the negro, and since this Is reality
the best thing the Republicans can DO
is TO unload him also and endeayor to
build up a respectable white republl-
can party in the South.
The mater viii come up agalnln the
tomorrow convention.
Alabama, it will be seen has
followed North Carolina and the
hand Of Senator Pritchard is plain
" seen. 1t will aso be seen by
the negro republicans throughout
the country that the removal of
those officials who were in the state
republican Convention. was not
a rebuke by the President, for
their part they played in barring
the negro from the convention.
l. will also be seen that Mr.. Pritch
ard is acting advisedly in the see
ond act OF disfranchlsing cOlOred
republicans. The Bee will not te
surprised if the entire South is not
permeated with the poisonous
sting of PritChard.
OF course negro republicans
know their duty and will act at the
proper time. There is not a negro
representative who has. as yet en-
tered his protests. Certainly if the
republican party can do without
the negro. he should do without
it. There is no reason for cOlored
republicans to push themselves
where they are not wanted. phe
fact that Senator Pritchard is con
tinaing his diabolical ingratitude
AMI there seems 10 be no protest
from republican party leaders, the
presumption is that he has their
approval and Endorsement and
hencce the republican party must be
held responsible.
The AfrO-American Council, if
there is any, ought to consult its
league bureau and see if it has a
case FIR the Supreme Court. Why
is there not a protest from that
August OrEsC;zlti0u? Why has not
President Fortune said something?
He might as well, because if he is
waiting for a plum, he will wait in
vain.

Out of the wilderness, out of the night
Has the black man Crawled to the dawn OF hgnt
Beaten by lashes and bound by chains,
A beast of burden with soul and brains,
And the cry of his heart is to know, to know!
You took his freedom and gave it again.;
But grudged as We gave it, ye white-iaced man.
Not all the freedom is being free,
And a dangerous playthlng IS liberty
For untaught children. In vain do you say,
Eve gave what he asked for-Place and pay
And right of franchise" All wrong, all wrong!
He was but child TO be led ong
By the hand of love. Has he felt its touch?
Nay! You gave unwisely and gave too much!
But YOU gave not the things that his cropping mind
Was reaching up in the dark to tnd;
They were love and knowledge On! INFINITE
Must be the patience that hopes 10 nght
The wrongs that are hOary with age, and brought
To The level of virtues by mortal thought,
And greater than patience must be the trust
In the ultimate outcome OF what IS Just;
And in and under, and through and above
Must weave the warp Of the purpose-love.
Red with anguish his way has been
This suffering brother Of dus<y skin,
For centuries fettered and bound 10 earth.
Slow his unfolding to freedoms birth
Slow his rising from burden and ban
To fill the stature of mortal man.
You must give him wings ere you tell nm to ny
You must set the example and bid him try.
Letthe white pay for the white mans crime
Let him work in patience and Dide Gods time.
Out ofthe Wilderness out Oft the night,
Has the black man CTaWled 10 the dawn OF hight
He has come through the valley OF great despair
He has borne what no white man ever can bear
He has come through sorrow and pain and woe,
And the cry of his heart is to know, to know!
