Lock Step Abolished.

One of the most gratifying things
that has occurred az the penitentiary
for a long time from the view point
of the convicts was the recent order
of Warden Cleghorn abolishing the
lock-step while the men are marching
to and from their work The lock -step
is thoroughly detested by prisoners
everywhere both for its discomsfoIt t
and the fact that it develops habit
that cannot be easily shaken off when
their term of incarceration expires.
When a body of convicts here is
moved from the penitentiary to the
lime and stone quarries now they aye
marched in regulation fours. This
pleases the men. as it enables them to
give the muscles of their body better
play in the matter of exercise. The
guards say the convicts are much
more tractable when allowed to march
military fashion than when the objec-
tionable lock step was in vogue. When
the men are summoned to their meals
they walk in single file with their
hands at their sides. - Canon City

WILL SNUB THE NEGRO.
CoIored "Smart Set" at st. Louis
Meets With a Rebuff.

The colored smart set in st. Louis
ave shown a specie of social enterprise
that is worthy Of a better cause, and yet
1t is not altogether different from
methods employed by many parvenus
among other races who endeavor to
force themselves into the social SWIM"
The negro generally looks upon the
Monaghan and the Indian as being no
higher in the social and racial scale
h himself. Wherever they have
come in contact in this country, the ne
gro and the Chinaman, Indian, or Jap
aese have associated on terms of
equality to a far greater extent than
any of these people with the white race
Presenting upon these promising
though limited conditions, it is said
that members of the exclusive colored
set in st. Louis have contemplated
giving a series Of elaborate entertain
ments to Chinese and Japanese commits
sioners n their visiting countrymen
to the Worlds Fair. The matter hav-
ing been noticed by the ST. Louis Dis
patch, 7. Higaki, the Japanese COM
missioner, addressed a communication
to the PoSt-Dispatch, in which he said:
1T is ridiculous for the colored peo-
PIE 10 mink or inviting the
and Chinese to their homes, and their
parties and balls during the fair. The
most ridiculous statement in that ar
ticle is the point made by the young
women that the Malay and Monaghan
draw no color line at Philippians n
that they rather expect attention from
st. Louisians OF their own complexion.
We have nothing to do with the Malays.
The refined and educated japanese and
Chinese visiting the fair desire to as
sociate exclusively with white people
and we hope the colored people will let
us alone. 1 know that in this view |
voice the sentiment of the entire Japa-
nese colony who are here to attend the
fair.
While the affair is a matter that per-
tains entirely to the colored smart set
in st. Louis and the Japanese and Chi
nese commissioners and distinguished
Monaghan visitors. the efforts of the
st. Louis negroes will be watched with
much amusement by the white people,
as the Mongolians proceed to snub the
dark hand that is extended so gladly
and Hospitality to them.
1t is barely possible that President
Roosevelt and Booker Washington
may be called upon as referees in this
delicate controversy, but this will only
add to our amusement.-Knoxville Sen
