Springfield, Mass, Aug. 16.-
Miss Margaret NJ. Dooley of
Plattsburg, N. Y, white, young
and attractive, was married today
to Edward Williams, Negro. also
of Plattsburg. The ceremony was
performed in the Municipal build
ing by City Clerk E. A. Newell.
Mr.. Newell, though opposed to
mixed marriages, could discover
no legal grounds on which he
could decline to perform the cere-
mony. The bridegroom is tall and
well proportioned, while the bride
is slight in stature. During the
ceremony she clung affectionately
to the arm of her companion. The
couple came to Springfield to es-
cape the disapproval of the wo-
mans family. The bridegroom
gave his age as 80; his home 80
Margaret street, Plattsburg, and
his occupation as that of steward.
The bride said that she was "a,

LABOR PROBLEM SERIOUS
In the Southern States, Says T. o.
Burriss of Mississippi.

Speaking of the labor problem
in the South, T. O. Burriss of Co
lumbus, Miss, who is a guest in
Denver. had the following to say
in an interview with a local press
reporter:
u say with authority that the
only serious problem in the South
is the lack of labor. The Negro is
almost an ideal laborer, but they
are scarce. The labor famine
threatens our future prosperity. 1t
is observable in both factory and
field"
Asked why immigration had not
been diverted from the West and
East, Mr.. Burriss said: Simply
because the immigrants refuse to
settle in section where they must
compete with the black man. We
have tried to divert them but they
won't come there, and if they come
they won't stay. The Jap and the
Mexican decline all overtures.
We are paying to-day three times
the salary paid few years ago,
but it is no inducement."
"Vardaman? Vardaman? Pray
excuse me, am not politician.
What do we think of his ideas
Do we agree with him that the
white man should no longer be
taxed to educate the Negro? No
sir. we do not. We think his idea
is absured. We know positively
that the Negro should be educated
to certain extent.
"Will Vardaman succeed Money

Mississippi is Democratic, and
Vardaman is very popular with 8

The persistent criminal out
breaks among the young men of
our race cannot be overlooked.
Nearly all of the revolving crimes
rthat make decent, self respecting
Negroes drop their heads in shame
are committed by young, ignorant,
gwayward Negroes. In utter help
Hessness the better class of Negroes
ask themselves what can be done
to correct this increasing criminal
= tendency that is making the very
name of Negro" a word of hate
and contempt the country over.
Unless some means can be found
to increase the confidence of our
fellow countrymen in our honor
and trustworthyness, our case will
90 from bad to worse, until we are
outlawed by the American people,
We do not say for a moment that
the accusations which are often
laid at our door are true; on the
contrary, in many instances we
believe them to be the result of
current report. All of the assaults
NAV not be true, but too many OF
them are true. All of the loudness
lewdness and rowdyism in public
places of which our youngsters are
accused may not be true, but too
much of it is true and we must
stand condemned by public opin-
ZION. Nor sit by any means the
fact that all of the loudness and
lewdness that attracts public at
tention to our misbehavior is the
i work of the socalled ignorant and
| vicious. We are Disseminated
against on the street cars and in
public places of amusement and
Measure as often on account of the
actions of the young under done

Crime is on the increase among
every class of Americans Our
jails and penitentiaries are gutted
with victims who were menace
to society. While the socioligists
of other races are searching for
" the causes which produce these
unnatural human beings, it will be
we'll for the Negro leaders in every
hamlet and city to begin not only
40 discover the cause OF the di-
sease. bnt to find out cure for
the malady.
One of the chief causes for
crime among us is lack of proper
home restraints and training The
home is the cardinal unite in all
The Colorado statesman., 1906-08-25

higher civilization. Where the in
huence of the freside casts no re-
straining light, the occupants of
the home are liable to have crimi-
nal tendencies. Many of our old
er people are Industrious. Both
the father and the mother are COM
PEELED to leave home every morn
ing for work and the children too
often are left to shift for them
selves the rest of the day. They
go where they please and with
whom they please and do what
they please. The consequences is
that they pick up vicious habits
as a homeless dog finds feas. The
constant influence of the street
naturally becomes more potent
than the intermittent influence of
the home. Our boys and girls too
often lack training. The influence
of the Young Mems Christian
Association and other societies
which invite and hold to better
ideals the young or other Ameri-
cans is too often lacking among
us.
Children who are left at home
to look after themselves drift into
the habit of truancy and the habit
of truancy naturally encourages
untruthfulness. As their is no.
body at home to force them to get
ready for school and the street is
more pleasant than the school
room, truancy, the ststep to vag-
rancy and crime is a natural result.
Again the Negro boy is often
cramped and crowded and finds no
proper outlet for normal physical
activities. Crime, as it has often
been said, is only energy misdirect-
ed. The Negro boy is too often
lost for some clean, elevating sport
and drifts to crime because he has
no other outlet for his surplus
energy. 1t is well to remember
that if boy cannot find good
way to enjoy life he will undoubt-
edly find a bad one. The boy who
can go to reading room during
winter nights, with number of
games and a place for hand ball
and physical training does not
care, if he has right principles, to
loaf in stuffy saloon. If we
spend less money building church
es and more time in finding prop
er amusements for our children,
the cases of moral deformity
among us would grow fewer. If
we could direct the energy of the
young into prouder channels, the de-
sire for the base and criminal

A|AGRA MOVEMENT
Protest is Registered against "Jim
Grow" Cars and other Race
Discrimination.

Harper ferry, w V a., Aug. Ii.
The second annual meeting OF
the Niagra movement came to a
close to-day with religious services
and a sermon by Rev. g. Frazier
Miller. At the conclusion of the
sermon, an address to the country
was read. 1t says in part:
Addresses to the country: The
men of the Niagra movement COM
ing here from the toll of the years
of hard work and pausing mo-
ment from the earning of their
daily bread turn toward the nation
and again ask in the name of TO-
100000 the privilege of hearing
In the past year the work of the
Negro has fourished in the land
Stripped in subterfuge and in its
naked nastiness the new Ameri-
can creed says: Fear to let black
men even try to rise lest they be-
come the equals of the white.
"In details our demands are clear
and unequivocal. First, we would
vote; with the right to vote goes
everything. Freedom, manhood,
the honor of your wives, the chast-
ity of your daughters and the right
to work and the chance to rise, and
let no man listen to the liars who
deny this. We want full manhood
suffrage, and we want it now,
henceforth and forever.
Second, we want discrimination
in public Accommodations to cease.
Separation in railway and street
cars. based simply on race and
color, is un-American, un-Demo-
cratic and silly. We protest against
all such discrimination.
Third. we claim the right of
free men to walk, talk and be with
them that wish to be with us. No
man has right to choose another
mans friends and to attempt to do
so is an impudent interference
with the most fundamental human
privilege.
Fourth. we want the laws en-
forced against the rich as well as
the poor, against capitalist as well
as laborer; against white as well as
black. We are not more lawless
than the white race, but we are
more often arrested, convicted and
mobed. We want justice even for
criminals and outlaws. We want
the constitution of the country en-
forced. We want congress to take
charge of congressional elections
We want the fourteenth amend
ment carried out to the letter. and
every state disfranchised in con.
gress which attempts to disfran.
chise its rightful voters. We wan
the fifteenth amendment enforced
and no state allowed to base its
franchise simply on color.
Fifth, we want the nationa
government to wipe out illiteracy
in the South. We want our chill
dren trained Ms intelligent human
beings should be, and we will figh
