Notes of Racial Progress.

The disadvantages under which
Negro mechanics in the large cities
of the North have to work has led
r. r Wright, the Negro sociolo-
gist, to lead in the organization of
the Negro mechanics of Philadel-
phia. The purpose of the move
ment is to secure to the skilled Ne
gro laborers the same pay and OPP
portunity for work enjoyed by
white laborers. Mr.. Wright has
succeeded in interesting several in
huential white citizens of the city
in the effort Organized efforts of
his character in other Northern
cities would near much to the
hundreds of Negro mechanics who

their trades on account of the

That the Negro fraternal organ

tunity is evidenced by the many
efforts on their part lately to in
vest their means in buildings and
businesses that are a credit to the
race. AT Jacksonville, Fla, the

MUST SERVE
NEGRO PATRONS.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 10
Either the white restaurant keep
ers of this city will have to here
after charge all Negroes who ap-
ply for something to eat and drink
about $3.50 for a cup of coffee, 81
for ham sandwich and S4.10 for
piece of pie, or serve the dark
skinned customers against their
will.
Such situation has been
brought about by a decision render
ed last week by Corporation Coun-
sci Thomas, who held that here
after hotels. cafes, ice cream par
lors, places where soda water is
sold and barber shops in the Dis
trict of Columbia will be compel
ed to serve colored persons in the
same room and at the same price
as white people.
Many of the hotel managers, an.
ticipating colored patronage in

ranged a schedule of prices for
their prospective coIored patrons,
despite the declaration of the cor
pcration counsel that there should
be no discrimination made in
prices.

Separate Schools Legal.

Washington, November 9.-In
deciding the case of Berea College
versus the State of Kentucky, fav-
orably to the state. the Supreme
Court of the United States to-day
held that the states of the Union
may constitutionally legislate to
prevent the co education of the
white and black races. The case
was instituted to test the validity
of the state law of 1901 prohibit,
ing white and black children at
tending the same schools.
The higher state court took the
position that the white and black
races are naturally antagonistic.
and the enforced separation of the
children of the two is in the line
of the preservation of the peace.
The opinion of the Supreme Court
was handed down by Justice Brew
er and affirmed the finding of both
the Kentucky Circuit Court and
the Court of Appeals Justice
Harlan and Day dissented.
Justice Brewers opinion dealt
entirely with corporations as affect
ed by the Kentucky statute, and
did not consider the question of
its applicability to individuals.
Proceeding upon the theory that
Il state has complete control over
as its own creations,
he then construed the law of 1904
as in effect an amendment to the

discrimination because of color in

Before another issue of THE
COLORADO STATESMAN, the
day set apart by the president, to
return thanks to our Heavenly Fa-
Ener for the bountiful yieldsof the
q fields, will have passed. We can
not pass this opportunity of saying
Just few words directly to our peo-
pie. The COLORADO STATES
MAN is particularly the organ OF
the Negroes Of the Rocky Mountain
district. Whatever interest the Ne
groes and contributes to their wei
fare and development, interest the
management of this paper. We,
therefore, take this opportunity to
thank our many subscribers and
friends for the very substantial in
crease in our business and able man
ner in which they have responded
to our appeals. The season and
year now fast closing has been one
Of remarkable material increase.
The harvest has been bountiful and
the price of goods on the market
will bring golden shower Of bless
mo TO the nation. From this shower
the Negro will receive his portion.
During the past few years the num-
her of Negroes engaged in business,
and in agriculture has greatly in
creased. Out here on the ledge Of
the Rocky Mountain dusky farmers
are working side by side with the
white man to make the earth bring
forth its fruit. SO marked has been
the success of this work that Colo
RADIO farm products today are
eQualling her mineral output In
this we as IA people have much to be
thankful. We are thankful that
the year has seen very substan-
tlal increase IN the number OF Ne
gro farmers. fruit and cattle rails
ers. This initial success is but the
entering wedge to greater achieve
ments. There is room in this state
for many thousand Negro farmers.
Thousands of acres of land will be
reclaimed through irrigation. Here
is the chance The Negroes who
have settled in this state and have
around out modicrum of success
should urge their friends to come
and share the rich harvests.
Then there is another point not
10 be overlooked in returning
thanks for material blessings. Our

w. B. Stewart of this city, the
present incumbent of the office of

for office who has nc opposition at
the primaries in his own party.
Prof. Stewart is the only candidate
of the republican party for nomina-

of schools, the party considering
that Mr.. Stewart was their very
strongest candidate for that office
and none but words of praise are
heard concerning that gentleman
for the republican nomination for
county superintendent.
Prof. Stewart has made very
able superintendent of schools. He
has fulfilled the duties of the office
conscientiously and efficiently and
it is but fitting demonstration to
him that he has no opposition for
the nomination at the primaries.

every promise and assertion which
he has ever made to us; and further,
we believe that if nominated and
elected, he will conduct the office of
coroner economically and efficiently,
and with the best interests Of the
public always in mind.
Mr.. Ibertson states that he will,
if nominated and elected, appoint a
competent deputy for the north end
of Beltrami county, which would do
away with the large charges for
milage which have heretofore been
made for the work performed by a
resident of Bemidji acting as coroner.
And he will certainly do as he
agrees.
A vote for Mr.. Ibertson for the
republican nomination for coroner
means a vote for a man who will per-
form the duties of the office fear
lessly and efficiently, and he should
receive the united support of all who
desire an economical administration
of the office of coroner.
