with enterprise, sweetly blending
in harmony with the buzz and
roar of industry. When we retire
at night the most soothing lullaby
that watts the children of men
into the realms of Sunderland, is
the swelling chorus of the factory
and the shop.
Industry is the keynote to sue
cess" What we need in connec-
ton with the letter is the skillful
! training of the hand, and in this
we must strive to excel. The Ne
gro must strive to be a better me-
chanic than the white man.
The prejudice that predominates
and passes judgment upon the
worth of men, will require the
Negro to display more mechanical
skill in the bending of pin than
it will require of white man in
the building of locomotive. The
Negro must strive for success in
the commercial world. 1t has
been absolutely demonstrate that
the Negro must work out his own
redemption. What part has the
Negro laborer, including the skill
ed mechanics, Negro business men
and women played in the solution
of the race problem? If we were
to compare their small achieve
ments with those of other men
and women the proportion would
be small, but what they have done
toward the solution of this ever
perplexing question is fa1 reaching
and commendable.
Statistics show that over thirty
thousand Negroes are engaged in
business owned and controlled
wholly by Negroes.
Wherever the Negro attempts
business that is elevating to the
race it should be greeted with the
fullest measure of patronage and
confidence, and race pride is the
one thing essential to this end.
The Negro is a race of consum-
ers and to assure any marked de-
gree of success he must become a
producer as well.
The man who has the manual
training and does, will have all
credit due him in the firand final.
We need an army of active work
ers. the men who build the hous-
es and bridges, lay the sidewalk
and set up the machinery, till the
soil, manufacture, sell and deliver
the goods are they who will be
reckoned among the worthy. The
women who make the dresses and
the hats, and do the cooking and
mending will hold equal with
those of finer arts, and are they
who will be chosen. Let those
oppose who may; God still reins,
and on the day of final reckoning
l do not opine that the American
Negro will be counted the least
among earth's mems. O. Clay
ton.
The Colorado statesman., 1906-02-17
The New Negro
What He Needs in Connection with the Lett the Skful
Training of the Hand Industry is the
Keynote to Success.

OF all the grand gatherings of
people who play upon the Ameri-
can stage only one was thrust
thereon who had no voice in the
choosing, and that one was the
American Negro, the common sub
ject of abuse, the man of sorrows
and grief, and yet the most docile,
the most patient of men, the very
embodiment of loyalty and patriot
ism.
From the day that he was un-
willingly forced into this country
he has been shadowed by dark
ness unknown to others of this
great American people.
The Negro came. but there was
no national power to bid him
Gods speed across the threaten
ing waves. He came not as man
but as chattel slave. He had no
star to guide him. He came in
the darkness of the night and there
were no friends to greet him.
Two hundred and forty years of
suffering and hardships unknown
to the white brother; two hundred
and forty years of the strange
spectacle of the illiterate giving to
the educated; two hundred and
forty years of the weak supporting
the strong; two hundred and forty
years of the fettared bondsman
contributing to the proud sons of
freedom; two hundred and forty
years of the giving of Negro chill
dren that the white man and his
posterity might live and prosper;
two hundred and forty years of
praying; two hundred and forty
years of Gods mysterious moving
that surpassed the undertaking of
men.
But when the din and roar of
war had ceased and the smoke that
shrouded the ghost of American
thraldom had cleared away, there
stood on the threshold of a new
era IA New Negro, coming factor ir
this nations citizenship, a people
in part weakened, in part polluted,
in part degraded, and yet within
this woefully conditioned people
was found a germ of manhood aud
womanhood as pure as crystal and
as beautiful as-the world ever look
ed upon and which within less
than a generation has startled the
world by unprecedented and as
yet unparalleled advancement along
the line of intellectual develop
ment.
In his mad rush for classical
education the equally important
requirement, an industrial educa-
ton, has been overlooked, and the
opposers of Negro advancement
charge that he has done nothing
in the industrial world.
We live in an industrial age
where the song of progress is SCI
to the accompaniment that rings

Dayton, O., Feb. 9.-Paul Law
renee Dunbar, the Negro poet.
died at his home here this after
noon of consumption For three
years he had been seriously ill
and for year critically ill, but he
kept at his work intermittenly and
wrote his last poem for his Christ
mas book. "Howdy, Howdy, How
dy," just before Christmas.
Mr.. Dunbar was born in Dayton
/. June 27, 1872, and was first a
newsboy and then an elevator boy
and in his ups and downs for a
living practiced writing His first
poem was written when he was
written for the Steele high school
in 1891. His first of total of 81
books was "Oak and Ivy"
His poem best known was
"When Malindy Sings" which
was written to his mother, whose
name is Malinda.
Mr., Dunbar is survived by his
mother. his wife and two half
brothers, who reside in Chicago.
He will be buried in Woodland
cemetary, this city. next week,
many persons of note being ex,
= spected to attend.
The deceased was the first poet
to arise out of the African race in
America, and his status among the
literary men of the East is more
than sufficient answer to the
argument of the ignorant bigot
who is ever pertering the world
with queries as to what we shall
do with the race question:" Paul
Dunbar's books and poetry will
tell if he consults them-the gues-
ton will settle itself if he will on
ly let the Negro enjoy the oppor-
tunities opened up to him by the
abolition of slavery in the United
. States. He was born 81 years ago
in Dayton, o., and was educated
in the public schools of that town.
Thirteen years ago he was an ele-
vator boy in a big building in Day
ton and, like most of his race, he
seemed to be marked for life of
uneventful toll. Yet, since that
time he published many books,
contributed to the best magazines
ard newspapers, established solid
reputation and recited his verses
to many audiences of the highest
culture. At 25. with the encour-
aging plaudits of his first success
ringing in his ears he went abroad
for new conquests. In England
Mr. Dunbar was received by the
most highly cultured and aristo-
cratic people in the land, because
The Colorado statesman., 1906-02-17

he had genius-the key that un-
locks all doors that bar the way to
fashionable or cultivated society
abroad.
The love of rhythm that charac-
terizes the Negro manifested itself
early in young Dunbar. Like
Pope, he listed in numbers. His
father died when Paul was lad of
IL, and the future poet contribut-
ed the support of his widowed
mother and his brothers and sis
ters with what he earned as a news
boy. Between times he moved
lawns, ran upon errands, was faith
full, kind and gentle. His first
verses, childish, it is true, but of
good promise, were written on the
fyleaf of an old spelling book, and
were titled IAN Easter Hymn. -
At IA, he had already broken into
print, and a few of his poems and
short stories had been published
in the Dayton Herald and in other
local newspapers.
His small successes gratified his
mother beyond expression. She
believed that her son had great
future in store for him. and en-
couraged by her, he wrote a story
in Western dialect which he called
"The Tenderfoot " The story was
copied widely 1t was the first
literary production of its kind to
be published from the pen of Ne
gro. Many other stories were sold
by Dunbar, and the way begun to
grow brighter for the struggling
author, Dunbar attracted the at
tention of Frederick Douglass
and the colored statesman looked,
him up. By this time the public
began to become interested in the
personality of the young Ohoian
and his future was assured. He
secured admission to the highest
literary circles everywhere and be-
came popular lecturer, while his
revenue from his writings steadily
increased.
HIS SONG OF DEATH.
Storm and strife and stress.
Lost in wilderness
Cropping to find a way
Forth to the haunts of day.
Sudden vista peeps
Out of the tangled peeps:
Only point-the ray
But at the end is day.
Dark is the dawn and chill,
Daylight is on the hill,
Night is the fitting breath,
Day rides the hills of death.
WHAT THE POST SAYS OF HIM.
Paul Dunbar is dead.
Paul Dunbar was as black as a
coal and his mother coulden't write

her own name. He began to earn
his own living when he was IL or
II years old. He began as boot
black, and then graduated into an
elevator boy in Middle West city
One day he sat in the corner of
his elevator, when the Office build
ing was closed, and wrote a piece
of verse. The next day he read
the verse to a man who had an Of
flee in the building and who took
kindly interest in the black boy.
The man told the black that the
verse he had written was good.
spoke to someone else about it, and
finally, in some roundabout way or
other. it was published.
1t was not very long before
someone else was running the ele-
vator, and Dunbar, the black boy,
was writing poems and songs and
stories for living and making a
good living, too.
His poems were published ii the
best magazines in America.
He went abroad and titled men
and women made great fuss over
him.
He wrote songs and librettos
and he sang and told stories and
laughed and was sick and suffered
after the manner Of his race, and
then he went home to his mother
and died-still young man.
Black as ever, and as simple
hearted and kindly and simple
hammered as he was the day he
sat in the elevator and wrote his
verses on a torn scrap of paper
with an old stub of pencil.
Who is there who dares, in the
face of such evidence as this, to
say: Il would have been some
one if | had had chance
What chance did that black boy
have the chance he made for him
self?. What chance do you want,
young man, with the red blood of
the great white race leaping in
your joyous veins.
Youare no prisoner within the
cruel Jail of color and of race.
The best in the world is none
too good for you if your hands are
strong enough to grasp it.
What chance do you need-but
the chance you make for yourself?
If you cannot make the chance,
pe content.
The grass does not grow as high
as the pine tree, but the world
needs the grass, just as much as it
needs the forest.
Smile at the world serenely, and
say, Il have never had much abil-
ity, but I've done the best could, ;"
and you won't need anyone's pity.
But don't lay the blame of your
humble lot in life and the humble
achievement you are modest
enough TO make, on chance. You
were not at home when chance
knocked at your door, or, if you
were at home when chance knock

Paul Laurence Dunbar, the
black elevator boy, heard chance
slipping by in the night and he
ran out into the cold and the dark
and caught him, and chance turned
and smiled at the black boy.

The new president of the State
University is DIR. John Ford, pas
tor for several years of the First
Baptist church of Denver, Col.
He received seven of the twelve
votes of the trustees. Four went
to DR.. G. FL. Parrish, who was sup
ported by those who believed in
the feasibility of uniting the aca-
demic features of the State Uni
versity with the industrial effort
of Eckstein Norton University, of
which DR.. Parrish is president.
One complimentary vote was cast
for Mr.. w. H. Steward, the hard
working chairman of the board.
The result, while a surprise, APP
pears to be quite agreeable to the
rank and file of Kentucky Baptist
who have confidence in the recon-
mendations of the far-seeing edi-
tor of the American Baptist, Mr..
Stewart.
DR.. Ford comes highly recon-
mended as an educator of eXper-
fence, pulpit orator of power,
and an executive officer of demon
strated capacity. The pace set by
the late DIR. PURGE will be diff
cult one to equal, but the patrons
of the school are sure to give the
new president fair chance to win
his spurs, before instituting odious

There are class of Negroes in
this city who profess to be intelli-
gent, cultured, proud and all that,
who go to the Jim Grow theatre,
through great tribulations. They
go in Trough a back alley and
come Dat through the same. In
addition to this humiliation they
occupy the highest seat in buzzard
roost section and count themselves
happy in such disgraceful posture.
The time is. coming and now is
when the truly self-respecting Ne
gro will be forced to lose respect
for the Jim Grow class. Negroes
that will not respect themselves
should not manifest alarm and i'm
patience because other people do
not respect them. Negroes put
upon themselves the stamp of in
feriority whenever they pay for
the privilege of occupying seat
in Jim Grow institution, or con-
tent themselves with any accom-
modations of inferior grade. While
we are standing out against tho
Jim Crow street car, let us in like
manner stand out against the buz-
zard roost theatre. If we hope to
win in any contention of this
character let us by all means be
consistent. and oppose the Jim
Grow business in all the styles
that it may come to us.-Nashville
