action which is advancing the
Negro and leaving the illiterate
whites to their fate. One has
only to visit the interior of South
land and talk with one of the
many Negro ex-officials there, then

ness forms the basis of the cause,
yet it is among the sons and daugh-
ters of ex-slaves. South of Mason

The following from London
shows what they think of jackson,
The great American boxer, who
has been the leading figure in En-
glish boxing for the past few
months, has been accorded a fare
we'll benefit. During his short
stay in England, Young Peter
jackson has had a tliumphal
march and has made many friends.
Ample testimony of this was seen
at the Coach and Horses, Stone
bridge Park, the well appointed
establishment of Jolly Jumbo.
where a farewell concert was held.
At an inteval in the proceedings
Mr.. Howard presented the cham
pion with IA handsome gold scarf
pin and a silver mounted ebony
walking stick from Jolly Jumbo
(Mr. Ecclestone) pair of hair
brushes from Mrs. Ecclestone, and
IA silver cigar case from a few
friends at Stonebridge Park, In
handing over the gifts to Young
Peter jackson. Mr.. Howard said
that since the champion had come
to our shores, he had made many
friends. He had proved his un-
doubted claim to the welter- weight
championship by beating the best
of our countrymen, The large
hall at the back of the hotel was
beautifully decorated with Chinese
lanterns, and here high-class
musical entertainment was held.
The Colorado statesman., 1905-01-07

Some three years ago, while IN
conversation with a prominent col
ored gentleman of Oakland, Cal, |
was surprised to hear him say:
''The Negro as a race is doing the
Pos ma-la," and as he spoke this.
he crouched himself in coutorted
position, and by a sort of back
ward sortie, quite unknown in the
science of calisthenics. he pro-
ceeded to illustrate.
The ever viobrating sound of
that expression, has constantly
goared me, because existing evil
lance proves the assertion TO be
untrue 1t takes but one glance
Ibehind us to bring positive proof
that the Negro, both as an individ-
Y al and as a race is not retrogress-
ing but progressing Progressing
at pace so hitherto unknown to a
people, that the civilized world
hesitates not to marvel.
From an intelligent standpoint
of view the assertion needs no
consideration, but from the tinan-
cial status. whereas the Negro of
fifty years ago had nothing, nor
knew anything save obedience and
servitude, many of them are to-day
in ownership, as a genius and in
the intellectual sphere. a compeer
to the Caucasian on any plane III
life.
There are but few trades known
to man in which the Negro race
has not a representative co-worker.
Aside from treading these avenues
of life. corporations are being
formed by them and successfully
operated under corporate part
nership. Drugs seems to be the
leading business under this heed.
Drug stores at present are being
successfully run by him in New
York. Boston. Richmond. Va,
Washington, d. c., Baltimore,
Md, Philadelphia, Atlanta, GA,
Jacksonville, Fla, and many other
places. Saving banks are estab-
lished and maintained by the
monies of the Negro in fully as
many cities as above named. Street
car lines are owed and operated by
him in Jacksonville, Fla, and
Pine Bluff, Ark. Aside from
these innovations GndustriaD Just
mentioned, space allotted will not
allow me to enumerate the great
budoet of commercial enterprises
now in evidence under sole control
of Negro management.
What does this show? 1t shows
that the progressive spirit OF the
age is an omnipresent factor in the
life of the Negro of to-day, and his
success is significant of his acquir
ed ability.
After viewing these few of the
MANY proofs of his advancement
who agrees with the gentleman IL
question?
The Colorado statesman., 1905-01-07

In recent lecture Booker T.
Washington said that one twenty
sixth of the soil of Virginia was
ewned by Negroes, according to
official records. The Negro race
developed more rapidly in the
thirty years of its freedom than
the Latin race in 1000 years of
freedom. About 80 per cent. of
Italians. So per cent of Spaniards,
10 per cent. of Russians, and so
per cent. of South Americans were
illiterate. In Georgia" said Mr..
Washington. $40, 100000 is the
taxable value of Negro property.
Probably the colored man has
learned the lesson of hiding its
real value from his white brother;
the figures ought to be over $50,
100000"

Negro Progress Reviewed
By w. R. Moten of Tucson Arizona, in Oakland Sun Shine
''Is the Negro Race Doing the PoS-ma-la?'

Objects proofs are abundant
tenough to give us undoubted facts
of the progressiveness of the
American Negro, but the cause of
our course has many hidden attri-
butes, each of which has been eX-
erted for or against us in such a
way that ia reality all he raised us
to stand on our present plane. In
dustrial training. character-build-
ing, companionship and self-assert-
iveness has been the main current
in aiding the Negro to rise while
provincial social pressure together
with poii;;tical. limitation have also
been aiding him-by way of the un-
der current
The first assertion is obviously
plain because people of high civic
moral and religious character feel
no mistrust in putting together
their minds, moneys and energy
in corporate form, for the great
strength in their unity must push
them on toward their goal, but it
is not so easy to see how pressure
and limitation are indirectly aid
ing the colored American in his
progressive march.
Pressure is force exerted up
on a person or thing, the tendency
of which is to unity or solidify it.
Social pressure upon the Negro in
the business arena has ousted him
from liberate participation at store,
hall and restaurant, etc, to such
an extent that he has begun to
unite his afiinate forces for love of
liberty, sought others of same cal
ibre, started stores, erected halls,
formed business enterprises, cat
cred to the needs of his people and
have so fraternalized in CONNER
cial pursuits that it takes but one
glance ahead to reveal a day, un-
less our progress is intercepted
when the Negro will be so well
equipped with the requisites cf an
Independent people that he may if
he will segregate into a nation

One of the safeguards to feeble
life in the doctors prescription is
in its limitation, and one whose
good can easily be seen, but the
result of the Negro suffrage and

ton must be looked for in the

The trials of this life are hard
to bear, and it requires no small
amount of philosophy and moral
courage to meet the demands of
the world. Too much must not
be expected in return. We must
not look constantly for tenderest
sympathy, immortal friendship,
undying constancy and continued
praise from those about us. The
bitter must be taken with the
sweet, and discouragement need
not follow disappointment Few
will be found who look more to
the interests of others than to their
own. Care and Disappointment are
indigenous to this earthly life, and
we must expect them, meeting
them bravely when they come,
and not suffering the canker of
encouragement to eat into our
hearts. Every talent should be
cultivated, every energy bent in
the direction of truth and right.
that the world may be better for
our presence, and our example
followed by those who come after
us. In occupation we forget our
troubles and get respite from sor-
row. Work is the best panacea
known for discomfort and worry.
The man whose mind and hands
are busy has no time to wall over
his discouragements. A cheerful
acceptance of our daily trail sand
cares, and confident trust that
"As the day is, so shall the
strength be. . is more than half the
battle in gaining IL victory over
them. Courage and strong de-
termination to conquer, can ac-
complish almost anything, The
life of every housekeeper is beset
with difficulties and petty annoy
ances with only "A cheerful courage
can carry her through. Let her
determine to surmount the OBJ
stacles, and attack them with vigor
and she will find that burden
borne with patience and amiability
not only becomes light in itself,
but gives strength for the bearing
of those that follow it. Cheerful
ness is more profitable than sad
ness, and one who earnestly tries
to preserve an appearance of cheer
fulness will find that he will soon
have the spirit of it Selected.
