CITIZENS AND THE
GOVERNMENT COOPERATE
Especial to The sentineI.l


Denver, Sept. 6.-Uncle Sam has
recently enterd into a cooperative
agreement with the citizens of Cen
tennial, Wyoming. and its vicinity.
for the construction of a road between
Centennial and Brooklyn Lake, a dis
tance of ten miles.
This road is the main entry to the
Snowy Range from the Laramie side
of the divide and will, by its con-
struction, open up numerous advan-
tages. The bordering. country ranges
approximately15 900 head of sheep
and is proving to be exceedingly rich
in natural advantages. Furthermore,
its terminal point, Brooklyn Lake.
being well stocked with fish. has been
and will become quite fishing re-
sort. 1t Will also open up portions of
the Cheyenne National Forest, which
were heretofore practically inaccess-
ible, thereby benefitting the saw-mill
men.
The most difficult as well as expen-
sive part of the construction, accord
ing to officers of the United States
Forest Service who will direct the
work. will he that portion of the road
through Libby Greek Gulch. Con-
struction at this point will amount to
about $500 per mile. Large boul-
ders and other material composing
glacial drifts now fill the bottom of
the gulch. and to avoid this the road
will be constructed for about four
miles along the side of the gulch
above this drift.
The merits brought about by the
construction of this road are such
as to cause the Laramie, Hahns Peak
and Pacific Railroad to offer the ser
vices of their engineers in locating
the new road. The Commissioners
of Albany county and the CONNER
cial Club of Laramie, together with
several other individuals. have sig
nified their willingness to cooperate
in the construction.
In view of the number of benefits
that will be derived, the Forest Ser
vice has agreed to contribute $1,000
toward the cost of construction,
which amount will be about two
fifths of the total cost.

ENDLESS BACKING FOR CHICAGO
Special to The Sentinel. !


Chicago, Sept. spending money
lavishly, Charles Comiskey is out TO
put the Chicago American team back
on the baseball map as pennant pos
sibilities in 1910. Already Comiskey
has paid out 100000 for players for
next season, according to the estimate
of Garry Hermann. chairman of the
National Baseball commission. who
has the only look at the real figures
paid for each man. This is a stupend-
Gus sum to pay out for the strength
ening of one team. Imagine how
many franchises this would buy in
minor leagues. Or Comiskey could
have whole team of $4,000 beau
ties picking up the stars of the game
today
But the "Old Roman" is going at
it in a different way. He is getting
young players and hopes TO make
them pennant contenders. Why?
The Philadelphia Athletics and the
Boston Red SoX of this season furnish
the answer. These teams. composed
almost entirely of young players are
making the real fight for the pennant
in the American league. Comiskey
would emulate the eastern owners.
And before he is through with il
there may be something like $780,
600 laid out This comes with the
new ball park that the White Sox
are to have and shows the value of
big league franchise.
Now there is another plan broaeh-
ed. Comiskey is urged to get out
and work with his players in the
spring. Scout Ted Sullivan is the
suggester. He declares that Comis-
key, one of the greatest of the old
time players himself, could see much
better just what his youngsters were
good for if he were on the field with
them. So next season ii may be
personally selected" 100000 Chi
cago American team that will take

A PECULIAR DEATH.
Special to The sentinel.

London, Sept. 6.-The manager of
the hairdressing department in Har-
rods, one of the most successful de
partment stores in London, is being
prosecuted for manslaughter because
of the death of Miss Horne Elphin-
stone Dairymple, who was suffocated
by fumes from "A preparation called
tetra-chloride
Miss Dairymple was having her
head dry shampooed in Harrod s
with the tetrachloride preparation
when suddenly she became faint. The
attendant engaged in dressing Miss
Dairymple's hair did not know that
the fumes given off by tetrachloride e
are more deadly than those of chloro-
form, and that physicians have aban-
doned using it because of its dang
erous character.
Ignorant also of the fact that the
fumes, being heavier than air, sink
to the lowest level the attendant has
tened to stretch Miss Dairymple out
on the floor, hoping in this way to
restore her to consciousness. But
this destroyed what chance she had
of recovery, death resulting in few
minutes.
Expert chemists have since de-
scribed the dangers of tetrachloride
in a way calculated to terrify women
who have been in the habit of getting
|shampooed with the preparation In
lvestigation showed that many women
have become faint under the influ-
ence of the powerful drug, but this is
the first fatality

ing enough money to properly educate
them from the public fund. In some
way each community must organize
effort to tax itself and keep taxing
itself until each community has a
good schoolhouse and a school term
lasting from six to eight months in
each year, taught by qualified teach
ers.
I speak to our people now on this
subject that they may begin organic
ing and that they may raise money
this fall while our people have it..
Now is the time to act. Do not delay
another day. This is the season of
the year when our people are hand
ling considerable cash as a result of
the sale of their crops. This is also
the season Of the year when they are
tempted to throw away thousands Of
dollars in unwise directions. I urge
you to use some of the money this

your children. We must, as a race.
learn to make sacrifices. It is better
that we go without proper clothing,
that we 90 hungry, live on bread

than neglect the education of our

gin at once and stir the people to

our colored children in the country

cent of our people live. In a recent

trip through the state of Maryland 1
was surprised to find, for example,
that there were rural communities al
most within sight of the dome of the
Capitol of the Nation where the public
schools for our race are only open
from two to two and one-half months
during the year.
Taking the Southern States as a
whole, it is safe to say that the coun-
try schools are not in session d. pies-
ent longer than four or five months
out of the twelve. When we add to
this condition, in most cases, poor
schoolhouses or no schoolhouses, little
apparatus and poorly paid teachers. it
is clear that this is a condition de-
handing the immediate and constant
attention of parents, ministers, teach
ers and leaders of every description.
The facilities for public school educa-
ton In the cities and larger towns
are good for the most part, but know
OF counties where Afro-American
teachers are paid not more than SIS
per month, and out of this they must
board themselves This means prac.
tically no school, for a teacher worth
more cannot live on such a wage.
In order to impress our people with
the truth of how far we are behind
and with what remains to be done,
let me make comparison: Two
years ago each child in the state of
Massachusetts, had spent upon him as
per school population, in the free pub
lie schools $26.42, while taking the
South as a whole for the same year
each AfrO-American child had spent
upon him as per school population
from SO cents to $3.50 in the different
Southern States. At such rate, does
any one believe that we can educate
our children? Ignorance will grow
denser, and crime, lawlessness and in
: efficiency will increase. Something
must be done and that speedily.
What is the remedy? Let parents
and leaders get into close and SYM
pathetic touch with the local and
county and state officials and make
known the condition and the needs
OF the children. If one effort does
not succeed, make another and an.
other. You, yourselves, must make
your wants known, no one can or will
90 1t for you. We must in a firm, con.
serVatlve and yet polite manner in.
slst upon our proper share of the pub
lie school funds.
Parents must bear in mind that if
they get all the public school fund
that is Justly due their children, this
alone will not provide for the educa
ton of their children. Even the white
children in the South are not receiv

certain classes of citizens and is a
little suspicious of the phrase fitted
to its needs" which is slipped in at
the end of the extract. The question
what kind of education is adapted to
make safe citizen and voter has not
been discussed very largely; but it
is evident that mere book education
does not answer the requirement, for
the country is full Of educated vii
lalns. Thousands of aliens in the
North, who know nothing and care
less for republican principles, are ad-
mitted to the electorate with great
celebrity and little ceremony; while
it is assumed that Afro-Americans
born in this country and knowing
nothing else than it's principles and
habits of thought constitute an i'm
mense. peril to the nation. But no
danger is anticipated from admitting
to the suffrage thousands of white
persons who are as ignorant as a.
blind kitten. THE APPEAL submits
as a question for calculation: What

Imaginary golden age, whereof and

Now, it happens to be the case that
the most notable exploits Of the par
ty during that golden age were all in
the line Of maintaining and extending
the institution of human slavery all
over the land, and, incidentally, the
oppression and degradation of the
Atro-Amer1can race. The black laws

South, the mobbing of Garrison, the
murder of Lovejoy, the Dread Scott
Decision, the Kansas-Nebraska Act.
the Fugitive Slave Law and the hang

'trazzle' of the dreary and disgusting
crimes against liberty and against the
government for which the Democratic

"The idea that the South can af-
ford,' said Mr.. Taft, ito have the
Afro-American transplanted to some
other country to me always sounded
like a joke. They tried that down in
Mississippi, and they were going to
move then, not out of the country to
Africa, but only across the river. and
they had a riot. Of course, that is
absurd.
But if the Afro-American would be
respected he must make himself
worthy of respect. He must cult
vate those virtues of providence, of
industry, of thrift which will make
him respected as laborer, as a farm
er, as skilled mechanic, as a man
contributing to the wealth of the COM
munity in which he lives, and without
whose aid the accumulation of that
wealth is impossible.
81 want to add that I always want
to say before an Afro-American audi
ence that you are Americans. The
idea of transplanting you is utterly
absurd. The only flag you know is
the Stars and Stripes, and you are of
