The Quick and the Dead.
"The melancholy days have come
nnnin

again,
The saddest of all the year"
These ola VS. of winters cold and
quietness what are we doing with
our time. A great many people
look upon this season of the year
and these times of dullness as
more or less of a curse that must
be endured, but he that is wise
will use these times for personal
growth and cultivation. There
are really two kinds of people in
this respect: the quick and the
dead and the latter are those who
never get anywhere, naturally.
We should avoid any tendency to
become human gophers that hi
bernate when cold weather comes
on. This is the season when by a
little effort put forth in reading,
study and cultivation of the high
er nature we a grow and real
ize something more than the eat,
sleep and slave routine of
life. Those who are really alive
will wake up to the opportunities
this season presents and be as
earnest in the self cultivation rs
they are to secure the growth of
the animals on the ranch.

These are your God-given endow,
ments; so use them in the upbuilding
of your own homes, right here in the
United States and do not for a mo-
ment be caught by the glamorous tales
of these would-be deceivers.
If you go there to colonize go armed
with intelligence upon the matter. Go
with the understanding mat you will
be set down in a wilderness with wa
ter all about you and no means of es-
cape.
Don't be tricked to go, as many
came to this country, during the time
of the "Turnbull" colonizing fraud to
Florida) First thing to do would be
to send a number of ENJOYS over
there of your own race; men that you
know may not be bought to work
against you; who will look intelligent
ly into the whole scheme, both sides
and will render a just report.
Go in small numbers, or alone: not
in droves as sheep to the slaughter,
for that is how it will end for many
of you under the most favorable cir
cumstances. You were brought here
against your will. You have acquired
by virtue of your mate patience, the
ease of civilization. You are as free
as it is possible for you to be in the
present stage of your mental unfold
ments. The ignorant are the only
barbarians and superstition their

Not manuy years ago a colonization
scheme was set afloaI to entrap the
poor unwary Swedish people. This
came about under my own eyes. They
were promised a certain number of
rods of land each, and good houses to
each family. This land was situated
in a good fruit and garden locality
in the beautiful Cumberland noun
tains in West Virginia; so the emf
grants were lead to believe. The de-
scription was all very fine and many
were entrapped by it. Each person
must pay a stipulated sum of money
and all they need do was to emmi-
crate to their new homes and find the
mouse ready built to receive them.
What did they find upon their ar
rival? A tramp of twenty miles over
a mountainous road to a mountain
side, rocky and barren, except for an
occasional forest tree, late in the fall,
and the to-be comfortable dwelling. a
mere long sheep stable, or three sided
shed built of the roughests of green
lumber. which was divided off into
stalls-a stall for eacn family. They
had no floor and no front.

A WARNING.
(By Nora f. Rulings Siegel, Denver,
Colorado)

Colorado.)
All roce papers please copy. A
warning to the colored population of
the United States against the Philip
pine colonization scheme should be
published in every colored peoples pa
per in the country.
At the heart of the scheme there is
meant no good for you, my dear
friends. and | warn you to look into
the project well before entering IL.
| have been watching the underlying
reasons for the war in the Philippine
Stands and wondered who would next
be called upon to offer up their lives
to the greed and lust of financiers.
Those islands have been won to
them by the blood of our innocent,
adventure-lovfng young men, solely
through the hardheartedness of the
money kings for their own agrandize-
ment, and what good to them think
you, would the islands be, with the
wealth of that vast partly submerged
region left untitled? None, and can
not De, unless it be peopled by a sub
missive ribe.
The natives of that country have
mostly gone down to death through
defence; therefore, more must be
supplied or owait years for the few
remaining ones to multiply.
Doubtless the picturing. of those
partly tropical regions to you is and
will be very bright, by minds hired
for the purpose. They employ the
wise as a serpent and as harmless as
dove attitude, men who have not
lived there in the capacity that you

who could not be hired so to do. are
therefore not honest. competent judg-
es or that which they strive to inter-
est you to take part in.
You surely have not forgotten the
misery your ancestors suffered when
brought into civilization and subjected
to slavery, and that is nothing to what
awaits you over there. The conduct
ore of this scheme seek to have you
and care nothing for your good, for
they look upon the whole colored race
as only lot of cattle. Indeed they
laborers with that brand. To swell
their own bank accounts is their one
aim in life. and as money buys power
today, so do they who deal in money.
Lives are nothing to them. You
my colored friends are a prolific race,
as all races in their youth and unwis-
dom are. You are also a hardy one
and easily submissive and happy.
