Goes Up in New York.
The report caused very excited
advance in New York in the price
of cotton on Monday. The report
says:
January delivery sold up from
1895 to 1870 inside of ten minutes,
or about $12 per bale above the clos
ing price of Saturday, and within
fourteen points of the high record
for the seascl made last month.
The government report Of 71.9 per
cent represented deterioration of
2.7 per cent for the month and was
the low record for this season Of
the year.
Advance at New Orleans.
Cotton scored an advance Of $3.50
bale at New Orleans as result
of the government bureau report of
71.9 per cent of the normal con-
ditlon on July rs.
This Is the lowest July condition
on record. The October option ad-
vanced from 1924 to 1915 and
there were corresponding advances
on the other active months.
While bullish report was an
ticipated it was not believed that 1t
would be less than 73 per cent.
When 71.9 per cent was announced
the October option jumped twenty
six points and the March option went
to 1890. According to trade con-
ditions the figures indicate a crop
of slightly less than 11,500,O0O
bales.

HOW LONG? HOW LONG?

The extraordinary honors paid the
distinguished Japanese who visited
the city this week brings up train
of thought in the minds of black Colo
radoans that is not reassuring. Net
a year ago this nation was resound.
ing with denunciation of the Orient
ais and fearful of the yellow peril.
Such a violent change from hatred
to friendship in so short time
causes us to wonder why 40 years
have passed with sentiment un-
changed toward us, who are Ameri-
cans, who have shared the dangers
and privations of the republic, whose
toll and whose blood alike have
mingled with white Americans. Does
it mean that in no way can we pur-
chase a release from their hatred OF
Negro blood? Or does it mean that
the gospel of fear is stronger in the
American white man than is love?
The Japanese are commercial rivals,
and, according to the jingoes, have a
civilization that cannot mix with
ours. The Negroes are not distin-
llOli OtHCl khhCiiStbo NA
cept in color. The one maintains
amicable relations with this country
for the sake of the profit it may get
for itself from copying our civiliza-
ton, the other has no home other
than this land and its all with go to
swell the aggregate of American
achievement.
So it is that we say, the thoughts
aroused by the treatment of the dis
tinguished Japanese are not reassur-
ing to black Americans. We do not
in any way begrudge them their
pleasant reception for the broader
the humanity of this people, the
greater our prospects for fair treat
ment, but we do feel that the COM
pany manners of the American peo-
pie are too good for their treatment
of home folks to be so bad.

SIDE THE CITY LIMITS.

SIDE THE CITY LIMITS. 1t only
needs compulsory school attend
ance law and the placing of the
school far enough away to finish off
the most stupendous display of pref
udice ever attempted in this country.
If President Taft has any power and
wishes to do an act of justice, he will
act.
1t is possible for the Negroes in
Douglas to seek justice in the courts,
but the law is usually with the best
lawyers and the side with the most
money. The inequalities of wealth
between us and our white neighbors
alone is enough to hamper us in any
struggle in the courts, apart from the
fact that there is spirit very preva-
lent in some sections to save this
civilization for the white race, even
if it cost little legal wrong-doing in
the saving. 1t would be downright
shame for these poor Negroes to
have to send their children to school
under the proposed conditions. 1t
will be no less a shame for them to
have to spend in litigation the money
which they need for paying off their
homes. President Taft should act.

LET THE PRESIDENT ACT.

Out in Arizona in the town OF
Douglas there has arisen new spe-
cies of race prejudice that makes all
the older and better known kinds
look like school boy efforts. There
are in that city number Of colored
property owners whose holdings are
interspersed with those Of white citi-
zens, some of them being in the best
part of the city. 1t is now proposed
first to separate the schools, giving
separate accommodations to colored
children. This move is nothing new,
but not content with saving Anglo
Saxon civilization through the sep
arate school route, the school board
actually proposes to erect this school
building for colored children OUT

stations on the line through which
the wires have been strung A large

Gus numbers. each representing a
certain station, will have a system of
buttons. The buttons when pressed
will cause the clocklikc mechanism
70 start working and the gong,
which by the way, will be an eight
inch affair will ring and continue to
ring until the answering button Is
pressed by the agent at that station.
Having transacted the conversation
al business the agent will repeat the
instructions back to the dispatcher
TO be sure of no mistakes. The phone
is hung up and about so to 70 per
Icent of the time usually required to
transact such business by the teIe-
graph will have been saved Besides,
none of the other stations will be
bothered with the repeating, as at
present because the message by
telegraph has to go through each Of
flee. Then again when the dispatcher
wishes to give two, or even thirty,
stations the same instructions, he
simply presses two or thirty, as the
case may he, of the button, and at
the same time gives the instruction
TO all of the agents interested, Each
station will be supplied with COM
plete switchboard and will be able to
converse with any of the other sta
ton.
The principal object OF the new
system is to save time. 1t is by no
means an experiment. Right now the
Atchison system, on its double track
from Kansas City to Newton, has the
telephone in operation and they are
reported to be giving perfect salts

will be installed on the entire Cult

4 NEW SIDEWALK RULING.

A recent decision by the supreme
court of Texas puts a new phase on
sidewalk building in Texas. and viii
no doubt add impetus to this kind
of civic Improvement when it be
comes thoroughly understood over
the state The Brownwood Bulletin
has the following to say about the
ruling:
Brentwood has been doing con
siderable street paving during the
last twelve months, but ii has been
uphill and difficult work because of
the fact that under the old way the
paving has been done only through
the unanimous consent of property
owners But street paving in Brown
wood should take on new life since
the decision of the supreme court on
last Wednesday in the Austin city
street paving case. At least that is
the way the city officials look at it.
The opinion in fun has not yet been
received, but it is Judged from re-
ports that have been made that city
may now proceed to improve street
and assess the cost of paving against
the property owners. This makes the
property owner pay all the cost of
the paving, and the cost taxed mp
against the property constitutes
lien that applies even against home
stead property
The decision is said to be new
one in Texas. Up TO this time ii has
been the holding of the courts that
the pro rata tax, placed on the front
footage or the square footage would
not hold As lien against homestead
property but Wal taxing districts
with uniform Tax would be neces-
sary and a general tax upon this dis
trict
The late opinion rendered up
holds the front-foot plan, declares
that the paving is not a matter of
eminent domain and a taking of
property for the purpose of making
a street but that it is legal tax.
The rate is declared to be no part OF
the regular tax rate and may be as
sessed in excess OF the tax limit lald
for general purposes.
Under the old way the city coun-
ell would take up street and after
working for weeks in connection with
the live citizens would probably Sc
cure signatures for from three 10 five
blocks and the grading begun.
After that the council and com
mittee of citizens began to labor
with the dead ones along the street
to get them to sign mp. In some m
stances il was necessary TO guaran-
tee the payment 50 that the work
could proceed. but under the new
decision the dead ones can no lon
ger hinder the work The city can at
/ it's discretion pave the street and
charge the cost of same to the prop
erty owner, which charge will stand
as lien against his property.
"Brownwood has been paying one
third of the cost of all street paw
ing, but under the new decision 1t
seems that the city may enforce the
street paving and make the property
owners stand the whole cost. prob
