UPHEAVALS OF
THE COLORED PRESS.

The Negro press has its comic
as well as its serious vein, its anus
ing as well as its economic prob
lens to face. The colored press
looked at as a whole is a family
that gets on remarkably well to-
gether. Like a giant the colored
press has its strength and like
Sampson it has its weakness.
Last week The Colorado States
man in a merry vein took the op-
portunity to welcome our esteemed
contemporary (The Statesman
back into the Republican family
fold, to forgive its childish i'm
petuosity of two years ago, and
without spanking it for its mis-
behavior, we asked it in the future
to be good and obey its paternal
head. But just as we had gotten
Brother Franklin quieted and fed,
Lo trouble breaks out in Colorado
Springs. Did you see the Enter
prise last week? 1t is presumed
many read it i'll Denver). 1t has
always been a good Republican
child, perhaps orphan, and though
it is only a few years old it has al
ways been politically well fed. But
now it comes out in a headline,
Where Are We At?" signed by
Editor Muse. If you want us to
answer Brother Charles, presum-
ably you are in the soup or out in
the cold. What strange bee has
stung The Enterprise Why, we
thought you were a stand-patter,
Brother Charlie, a died-in-the
wool, always-at-home Republican.
Didn t they let you into the family
fruit jar9
Then there are Messrs. Porter
and Simpson, editors of the Ad-
vance, just born, two weeks old,
with a lusty appetite crying for
milk, more milk. Also Brooks, of
Pueblo, trying to wedge his fingers
in the preserve jar while somebody
in Denver is holding the lid on.
But come, cheer up, little men, get
back in the family fold, don t
stray too far from the Republican
threshold; you might get stolen by
those wicked Independents or bad
Democrats. 1t is only some new
arrangements, colored people are
now getting together and conduct
ing their own affairs politically.
You will get yours, but you must
produce the goods. Father j. w.
jackson is good man, and will
give you a square deal without
favorites. Get back in the bunch
and work and your oats will be
alright, but you will have to eat
them from a new stall and feed
box. They will taste just as good
when you have learned how new
arrangement is working success to
all.

Jacksonville, Fla, Sept. 20
Hon. John S. Beard, State Sena-
tor and a prominent lawyer, has
promised to introduce in the next
Florida Legislature an amendment
to the State constitution providing
that none but white persons shall
be eligible as electors in this State.
His purpose is to test the legality
of the Fifteenth Amendment of
the United States Constitution.
Mr.. Boards bill would do with
frankness, what the South has
heretofore dared to accomplish
only by tergiversation. He would
openly disfranchise Afro-Ameri-
cans on account of their color,
whereas the South has disfranchis-
ed them under the subterfuges of
the grandfather clauses" poll
taxes and educational and proper
ty qualifications. Mr.. Boards pro-
posed bill has thrown violent
scare into the Southern whites
and has delighted Southern Afro
Americans.

Patriotism is
A Good Thing

Gov. Joseph Folk Of Missouri
was the guest of the Missouri
society of New York at a ban
quet in honor recently at Sher-
RVS, at which about 200 were
present, including a number OF
women.
Gov. Folk in an address said I:
The man who violates the law
is neither a democrat nor a re.
publican. He is a rascal. And
as such he ought to be prosecut-
ed. Politicians today are begin
ming to realize that honesty is
the best politics as well as The
best policy. It is now generally
conceded that a rascal is a ras.
cal still, whether he calls himself
q republican or a democrat.
Partisanship is a good thing
sometimes, but patriotism is
good thing all the time.

would also drain into the Shey-

connects the valley Of the Shey-

This old channel is Stony Coulee.
We know that the waters of
Devils Lake have fallen ten
feet since the building Of Fort
Totten about thirty-five years
ago thus Judging from this fact
Unjust be supposed that water
flowed through the Stony Coulee

times than the Red River of the
North does at it's mouth at the
present day.
Stony Coulee was then the
true outlet at the Sheyenne Of a
line of lakes which extended
from the Stump lake below here
to Devils Lake then northwest
to Isben, Hurricane, Grass Island
and Long Lakes near the Turtle
Mountains. Devils Lake and
Stump Lake were then fresh
water lakes.
This was in the remote and
bygone prehistoric times known
in geology as the close Of the
Glacial period. The great fields
of ice were melting north of us
and forcing their waters directly
and Indirectly through the
smaller coulees into the above
named channel of lakes. Devils
Lake was then a great inland
sea, so also was Stump Lake,
yet not SO extensive. Prof. D.
E. Willard A. NJ, of the State
Normal at Mayville, N. Oak,
says in his much praised and
valued book, ''The Story Of The
