ored man that practically all the
internal organs were strangely ar
ranged, being on the side opposite
to that where they belong. Not
many cases OF the kind are on re-

parently died from old age and
that his internal disarrangement
had never affected him. They
say that he was between 65 and
10 years of age and probably never
knew of his plight. Members of

The Anglo-Saxon race is fast
degenerating," declared Mrs. Char
lotte Granger, of Gainesville, Ga,
before the Women's League, at
New Orleans. ut is fast becom-
ing puny and dwarfed because the
life is being worked out of them.
The Negro children are faring far
better than the white children of
the South. They are chopping a
little wood and hoeing a little
cotton in the open air. while the
little white children are being
ground alive in the mills" 1t is
hopeful that some club women
have serious ideas-are looking at
life as being something other than
discussion of aesthetics and
fashions and the latest novel.
The poor whites of the South
are taught to vote the democratic
ticket and their children are suf-
fering because of their ignorance
and race prejudice. When a
white man in the South protests
the masters yell NEGRO suprem,
acy" and the whites crouch in
shame and terror and drive theil
children back to the factory with
their votes. If the present state
of affairs continues the whites
will be inferior to the Negro in
another generation, mentally and
physically. Great is Democratic
supremacy

That is, it seems to me, what
emancipation means in practice,
of the Negro. That is. after all,
means all that it could mean.'
Il am inclined to believe" says
Mr.. Washington in another oarti-
Gle in the Congregationalist, "that
at the present time there is no
place in this country where one
can study the race problem to bet
ter advantage than in the Indian
and Oklahoma Territories. Into
this new country the colored peo-
pie from the South have come in
considerable numbers. While |
was pleased to learn that an un-
usually large number of these
black immigrants had become own
ers of land in the city and in the
country, [ was not surprised to see
that in the cities at least, except
in Mnskogee, l. T., they did not
seem to have prospered in the
same degree as have their white
ueighbors. Considering the con-
ditions out of which most of them
came and the habits and traditions
they brought with them. nothing
else could have been expected of
them.
SIN certain parts of the Indian
Territory where they have been
longer settled and have had speci-
al opportunities, 1 found the Ne
gro people had made considerable
progress in theeline 1 I,have indIcat-
ed. There are a number of Negro
towns i'll Indian Territory where
colorel men have had an opportun-
ity to experiment and learn some
thing about business administra-
ton and self-government in a way
they do not have where these af-
fairs are in control of the white
race. But on the other hand
found considerable number of
colored men in business of some
kind or other, and many of them
doing quite as well as the white
man beside them. On the whole,
| came away from this new south
western country with the feeling
that the Negro people in this re-
gion were making real and rapid
progress and doing as well as any
one could possibly expect of them" :"

Lansing, Mich. January %
E Brown colored man from Van
Buren county, convicted of crimi-
nal assault ON white girl, was to-
day granted new trial by the SUI
preme court. The relations of the
couple were proven, but the judge
in charging the jury, seemed to
have prejudiced the case of the re-
spondent by dwelling on the fact
that he was colored man.
The Colorado statesman., 1906-02-03

How far it is possible for the
Negro to go into business and how
great is his chance of success be-
side the white man are questions
that have recently been discussed
by Booker ~ Washington. In
the American Illustrated Magazine
he says:
"Some years ago in the course
of my journeys about the country,
my attention was called to the
considerable number colored peo-
; pie engaged usually in small way,
rim some form of business Many
of these enterprises were insignii-
cant. as far as the amount of bust
ness they did is concerned, and
not all of them though it is said
of the Negro of Africa that he is a
natural born trader showed any
especial capacity in the men who
ColuuCteu tHcHl. w nat was par
ticularly interesting to me. in what
l saw and learned in regard to
these men, was the disposition
they showed to try experiments, to
learn by experience, and turn to
account the obstacles they en-
countered.
''It was to encourage the enter
prise of these men, and to extend
'the influence they exerted in stim-
ulating habits of thrift and in
dustry, in the mass of the Negro
people, that the National Negro
Business League was formed. The
records of this league show that,
during the forty years since
emancipation, men of the colored
race have gone into the wilderness
to found towns; that they have
raised capital and established
banks among an impoverished
people; that they have mastered
trades, and founded upon them
prosperous business enterprises;
that in many other ways they
have understood how to take ad-
vantage Of their opportunities, and
directly.or indirectly improve the
conditions and raise the standard
of the people of their race in the
communities where they live"
The conclusion that Mr., Wash
ington comes to is that whatever
special difficulties the Negro has
to face, whatever obstacles race
prejudice or his own history may
place in his way, the Negro, under
freedom, has the right to work, at
least in the South, and work for
the best things the world offers.
He has the opportunity to make
himself useful and to share the
benefits that his genius and his
labor confer on those around him.

South Haven, Mich, Jan. 21.-
Fruitland, one of the largest sum-
mer hotels here, and formerly the
most popular, is to pass into the
hands of wealthy colored people,
who will turn it into resort for
people of that race. The proper
ty is situated on the bank of the
lake and is surrounded by many
pretty summer homes owned by
Chicago people. The latter have
been notified of the transaction
and they offer their cottages for
sale and will move to a different
part of the city. John Connor, a
wealthy colored farmer, of Covert,
is promoting the hotel scheme,
backed by people from ST. Louis
and Chicago.
