THEHUNCER PORTLAND
Measures Of the Government
- Appease the Appe-
tites for Farms.
A Wonderful Exhibit by The Depart.
nnents Of the interior and Auricul.
ture At the United states Land ans
irrigation Exposition at Chicago
from Nov. goth to Dec. 4th.

A debt Of gratitude and a vote Of
thanks will be due the Chicago Trih-
une from the American people when
the United States Land and Irrigation
Exposition is over. The inception Of
this great undertaking was entirely
due to the Tribune. The idea orig.
mated with the Tribune, and the en-
tire responsibility, financial and other
wise. was assumed by the Tribune.
So timely did this enterprise seem
to be that all the great irrigation and
other land interests were. quickly won
and promised their participation and
support. The United States govern.
ment has thought SO well of the Trih-
unc's idea that it will be the largest
exhibitor.
All the exhibits of the exposition
will deal with the idea of establish
ing American homes upon small farms.
All the fea lres of this unique and
wonderful show will be pivoted around
the idea that the best place for an
American family is in home Of Its
own, and that home tract of land
large enough to maintain the family in
my emergency. With our better
knowledge of plants and soils and cul,
tural practice few acres have an as
tonishing capacity for production.
Valuable instruction along these lines
will be found by the visitor at the
coming exposition, Nov. 20 to. Dec. a,
at Chicago's great Coliseum.
Besides the features specially pre-
pared and brought from Washington,
the best features from the govern
ment's exhibit at Seattle will be In
stalled at Chicago The reclamation
service, the geological survey, the
land Office, the forestry service, the
patent Office, tho bureau OF animal In.
dustry. the bureau Of plant industry.
the weather bureau. the office OF ex-
:periment atntions and the busean of
entomology will all participate In .
manner worthy Of the government Of
eighty millions Of people.
The value Of the government ex.
hibits to the visitor will lie in the fact
that they are new and represent the
latest thought and development in the
various lines which they represent.
All will relate to irrigation, drainage.
dry farming and to the Industries Of
the farm. especially Of the new farms
which are being reclaimed from what
has long been regarded as waste land.

tween the races have mot had the
principal advanced any bysmeasures to
punish white men for despoiline
coIored women; and while such meas
ures can prevent legal marriages, they
cannot and will not prevent that
class In both races from Yingling and
mixing and leaving their S6springs to
weaken the social compact. We can
not see where N)ciety iss aided by a
segregation of the best and q comming-
ling the worst elements. II one out

Your committee considetes It duty
to urge the Iowa State Negro Bar As
sociation to continue and increase its
vigilance in trying to guard the lib
.erty of Iowa citizens wherever 1t may
be threatened or assaileds and espec-
tally the rights or the most, humble
and oppressed. In the years that are
to come It will be harder and more
difficult to take pernicious measures
out of our statutes than It is now to
prevent them from being written into
them. We must not only guard our
fair state against evil measures, but
we must protect our people as far as
possible against the influence and ad-
vice OF weak, trucking, slavishly in
clined men. People who are willing
and anxious to live without equal civil.
political rights and liberty, are not
competent or at to advise q free, brave
people as to how they may best pre-
serve the priceless gem.
Your committee believes that q fund
Of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars
($200,000) should be raised by q
proportionate contribution from the
negroes of theseyeral states and d.
rection of property organized joint

legislation and In reviewing the Con-
stitutions and Statues Of the several
states SO that unjust, unfavorable and
oppressive measures may be repealed
Speaking privately and confidentially
to this association alone, your COM
mittee Is constrained to state that It's
brief, short experience has somewhat
inclined 1t to the belief that its efilc-
iency. power and service would be
greatly enhanced as to Legislative
Committee or Lobby II It could have
plenty of money at its command.
Your Committee beieves its efforts
in behalf Of equal justice to be patrio-
tic in the highest sense. We do not
believe that our Country can continue
to boast itself ''the land of the free and
the home Of the brave" while de-
nying equal justice and equal op-
,pOrtunity to ten Juillipna 1rE An. .sancat

Because we love our Country with
