JanitOrShipS Won't Do!

The Statesman has taken "a stand
for square deal for the colored peo-
pie of Colorado. In keeping with our
past utterauces, we feel frank to say
that Governor Mcdonald will gain
for himself and for the republican par
ty no credit from anyone if he con-
fines the places given Negroes under
his administration to the smallest in
his gift. We do not oppose janitor
shirs for those who cannot fill better
places or who deserve no greater re
ward, hut unless the Governor does
the fair thing by giving more shb.tan
/ al recognition tc those whom he rec
ognizes as leaders Of the colored pee
pie, he will fail to u crit any reward
from our people. We have but one
position in Colorado that we can point
to. Neither under the national nor

that sufficiently rewards the faithful

tell the time Of day. or what do YOU
suppose he made it? Flowers, and
this is the way he did II.
First, says the Washington Star. he
made a great flower bed and divided
it into twelve parts. The divisions
were marked out by rows of box
plants, and in the center was post
three feet high. This post had two
hands ON It. but, Of course, these were
only for show. A sun dial On tha post
told the time truly in case any OF
the little flowers got out of order
AS some plants open only at night
the twelve divisions of the clock were
divided into parts. On one side were
night, Oh the other day bIoomers.
At 4 in the morning goatsbeard and
blue chicko1y opened. The petals OF
the chicory were a bright blue. They
grew lighter in color until they were
nearly white. The children called the
flowers MISREPRESENTATION" as ~

At o'clock the morning glory and

At Z o'clock the water lilies were

fine 5 o'clock found the pimpernel
with its red eyes wide open. AT 9
marigold and tulips spread out. At

best, for at II they were found all

their national life character. 1t IS in its power
to recall Nippon that has made this hokku (also
attributed to Basho) perhaps the most popular
poem in Japanese literature:
Ftvu ike va

Mfdzu no
CA frog leaps into old we-and there up the
ripple of water)
This is simplicity almost LONELINESS; but how
many myriad sweet memories has Bashos frog
aroused in the old well!
In spite of its many limitations, the hokku has
been found adequate instrument for sounding
pRans of triumph, cries of agony. famous
epgrammatist composed hokkn on his death-bed,
in which he compared his end to the fall OF leaf
in storm:
A leaf whirls down-a leaf whirls down the wind.
Even the marrow room of the hokku permitted
this fulness of suggestion and the music and power
of this repetition.

1t occurred to me that Wordsworth's dainty
verse

expressed just the kind of fancy that would appeal
to a Japanese. The Japanese turn of the thought
would be something like
"A violet by messy stone, a single in the sky.

Yosho Tanaki, who now has gone back to Nippon

OF the other brief forms of Japanese poetry, the
dodoitsu and the tankd it may be said that they
would be considered indeed marvellous if the hokku
had not attained the supreme of brevity and
densation. The hokku originally regarded as
the first three lines of the dnka-an origin that is
indicated in its name; but it has long been an
independent and distinct form. 1t preceded
Basho by centuries, perhaps although that great
master of epigram improved it and made it the
germ it is
