The Rapid Growth of The Slate Indicate thai it
will be Mecca for Homeseekers and all
Classes of Industrious People

How many of the present gerer-
alton ever seriously speculate
concerning the changes likely to
come to Colorado in the next de-
cade. In order to get some idea
of the possibility and growth OF
this state in the future you must
think and know something of its
past and present history. The
year that has just closed has
marked one of the greatest epochs
of It's magnificent growth. New
Railroads, new mines, new lrriga-
ton plans, dry farming, new plants
new factories and industries and
new settlements have all contribu-
ted to its expansion. The Colo
RADIO STATESMAN wishes to contri-
butte few items to its readers on
the subject of this new develop
ment taking place within our bord-
ers and to again ask its readers to
keep an eye open to the main
chance that lies before them to
make themselves active partici-
pants in the upbuilding of this
state. With the new railroad law
and rate bill a better show will be
given to all class of shippers. In
dustries once protected by rebate
must now stand on an even plane
with small shippers, this is the
poor mans opportunity. A stero-
scopic picture of our state growth
along all lines is seen in the rail-
road earnings for the past year
which show net increase of near
ly four millions of dollars. The
taxes have also increased in propo-
tions, this shows the rise of land
values.
: The mines increased their 7stotal
output nearly ten millions. = New
coal beds have been opened in
Routt Co., which would fsupply
the state for nearly hundred
years. Eugene Ell. Grubb, an au-

DOING COMMON THINGS
In an Uncommon way. By Robert
Russa Notion in Colored Amer
lean Magazine.

People often marvel at the Won
derful growth in power and proic-
iency of the Tuskegee Normal and
Industrial Institute when its illus
trious principal is obliged to spend
so much of his time away from the
institution. They wonder if Tus-
kegee does not seriously suffer by
the lack of constant personal super
vision of DIR. Washington. These
are perfectly natural questions no
doubt, and while the school must
in the very nature of things feel
the absence of its principal, it does
not suffer as much as casual OBJ
servation would seem to indicate.
Tuskegee Institute is so thoroug-
ly interviewer with the life of its
founder it is impossible to consider
the school apart from its principal.
In considering Tuskegee then one
must remember that this school is
very we'll organized; that DR.. Wash
ington has gathered about him as
choice corps of workers as the
race has produced. The superin-
tendents of all the departments are
experts in their line, and in loyal
CO operation, they are all earnestly
endeavoring to reach the highest
ideal obtainable by an institution
so unique and so far-reaching in
its effects upon the world in gener-
al and the Negro in particular.
The ideals of Tuskegee are the
ideals of its founder. Indeed it is
a concrete actualization of the
possibilities of the Negro along
lines of practical and technical ed
ucation.
That . Negro could in an old
church, upon poor land in a poor
community build in twenty five
years an institution of such mag.
nifcent proportions and doing such
a splendid work, was forty years
ago almost unthought of.
When away from Tuskegee. as
he is so often obliged to be, DR.
Washington, through his very eff,
cient executive secretary, Mr. EN-.
NETT J. Scott, is by a system al
their own, kept informed daily or
every phase of the work of the
school. When at the school he is
continually on the go, early ano
late, in season and out.

body of another kind--the organism

is the womb of the future" All ma
ture Is constantly dying. the tissues
OF the earthly body are constantly
dying. life is a continual triumph over
this universal death. and progress is
made possible only by this process OF
resurrection The Immortality and
progress OF the human soul and OF
human society consist thus in the
Creators triumph over death.
Easter is a memorial OF all this
triumph OF life over death. not only
In nature. but also In humanity The
germ OF life in every human breast Is
thus raised up when the body returns

ated within that material husk-all
