valued at 81, 105, 305 with i'm
provements thtreon valued at
SO, O88,022. Of the nineteen
cities in the state Negroes own
lots valued at 81, 927, 621 with
improvements thereon valued at
So, 618, 722 making a total of S.
SAG, 143. The city of Richmond
leads with lots valued at 81, 259,
944 making a total of 81, GIG, 157.
1t will thus be seen that roughly
speaking the Negroes of Vir-
ginia own real property valued
in round numbers at twenty mil
lion dollars and this does not in
clude the churches, schools, GEM
eteries, hospitals, asylums and
other elemosynary institutions
that are exempt from taxation.
The compiler of the above fig
ures declares that, while the Ne
gro loves to make a show of his
holdings, nevertheless when it
comes to paying taxes he has
learned to be just as artful tax
dodger as a Rockefeller or any
other white man, and so in max
ing an estimate of the personal
holdings of the Negro of the
state it can only be approx
mated. His personal property of
the state as taken from the asses
sor's rolls is valued at Sc, 800, 447.
Summing it all up the compiler
believes it is safe to say, the Ne
groes of the state own real and
personal property and on which
they either pay or should pay
taxes valued at $35, 900, 900.
Speaking about the business
enterprises of the Negro of the
state it is said that he operates
eight banks with a capital stock
valued at more than a million
dollars. There are five insur-
ance companies in the state,
which pay either a sick benefit
or a straight life policy. In adj

Virginia's Negroes PrOser-
GUS

Much has been said in recent
years about the shiftless Negro
of the South and much has been
said among those persons, who
in the past have been the best
friend of the Negro in the South,
and have freely given up their
money to make it possible for
him to get a foothold in the bus
mess affairs of the United States.
The black man as the white man
in many instances may be eX-
ceedingly worthless, but all
things being considered, the
black man is making consider
able Roadway in the South. The
following figures concerning the
possessions of the Negro in the
state of Virginia were recently
published by the leading daily
papers of Richmond, and is con-
sidered quite correct and by no
means an eXaggeration as the
publishers of the paper in ques-
ton would rather a hundred
times over lessen than increase
the amount the Negro actually
owns.
Of the 25, 900, 900 acres Of land
in the state the Negro owns l,
464, DAB acres, or in round num-
bers one sixteenth of the acre
age of the state. His land hold
ings are valued at Sc, 239, 605 and
the buildings and improvements
thereon are valued at So, 937, Cos
making a total of $40, 1T, 524.
There are one hundred counties
in the state, and with two ex-
ceptions, Negroes own property
in every one Of them. Strange
as it may seem in one of the
counties of the state not a Negro
resides. In the towns not class
ed as cities Negroes own lots

Tillman's Concession

Benjamin F. Tillman stood
with Booker T. Washington in
the White House and was not
afraid of contamination. -" I
should have liked to talk with
him." he said. He is a man
of great intellectual power. "
Coming from Senator Tillman,
this is a concession. If he would
investigate trades and industries
in Washington he would find
many Negroes worth talking
with. At work on new houses
there are Negro carpenters, plas-
terers and even contractors. In
the border states near by Vir-
ginia and Maryland : he could
find Negroes saving money, op-
ening bank accounts and doing
thrifty business with respectable
white citizens.
Whether the South Carolina
senator likes or trusts the Negro
as a race, he can hardly glance
around the Washington neigh
borhood without conceding the
Negro capacity for good work
and good behavior. If the Ne
groes of South Carolina are still
backward as workmen and bust
ness men, it may not be wholly
a racial fault confined to one side.
Socially, people are everywhere
as they choose. To Negro pro-
ductive citizens of the better
class the senator owes further
concessions. Philadelphia Pub

Votes for Women in Denver.


ut was a decided mistake to give
women the right Of the ballot says
moman politician of Denver in
Woman's Home Companion for No
vember. "But now that they have
it, in my belief it is as much the duty
of a woman to exercise that right as
it is for her to observe her religious
duties or to take proper care of her
home. The average woman is better
than the average man. At least that
is my observation. The average wo-
man politician is as bad as the aver
age man politician--only she is
worsel If the rank and file of the
women would join in one concerted
movement to unseat both the pro-
fessional man and the professional
woman politician. then the right of
franchise vested in women would
prove a boon of inestimable value.
Like many another woman. / en-

then it has been a constant struggle
on my part to keep my skirts clean.
1t is much the same thing as a wo-

In nine cases out Of ten he draws her

ing lifted to hers.
Women, generally speaking, vote
to please the men. There are those
who will take issue with this state
ment, but it is nevertheless true. Per-
haps it may be different after the
women are better educated in polit-
ical affairs, if that time should ever
come, under existing conditions the
women vote as the men suggest.

mortal would not reckon with BY

man is a strong asset for any politi-
cal ticket in Colorado
Women are by nature of trust

love affairs. 1t is therefore an easy
task for the men to control their
votes For that reason in planning a
campaign we decide upon candidates

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-Fifteen
millions of dollars and upwards have
been added to the wealth of the west
through the products of the soil on
government reclamation service
works. This does not take into ac-
count, of course, the enormous mere
ment to land values which has been
the direct result of reclamation. The
year 1909 is really the first in which
notable returns have been made. 1t
is now seven years since the recalma-
ton act was passed. During this in
terval surveys and examinations have
been carried on throughout the west
ern half of the United States.
Large projects have been laid out
and the most important structures
have been built to point where 1885,
600 acres have been supplied with
water, or brought to a condition
where settlers, by proper application
to the land Office, can Immediately
take the water to the fields.
The work is much in advance of
the needs of the people, for out of

tally in an office; but the feeling is
there, nevertheless, and some day
the craving for freedom and place
that can be called home" will win
the mastery
These men will be shown what Ma
ture offers to the one who wishes to
make a home for himself Practically
every part of the west and south, of
any consequence from the agricultur-
al point of view, will be represented
by attractive displays and views. FL
nal arrangements have about been
completed, and it is practically GER
tain that the splendid exhibits made
at Seattle by various departments of
the government will be dropped off at
Chicago on the way back to Washing
ton. The date has been set so that
this can be done easily.
The government exhibits are of
the greatest interest to the farmer
and the stockman. One of the finest
displays is to be made by the reclama-
ton service. Models of various pro-
jects are to be shown. Dams and ca
nails will be seen in miniature, charts
will explain every detail of the con-
struction work and well arranged dis
plays will show what can be produced
from fertile soil by means Of irriga-
ton. This, therefore, will be a rare
opportunity to study details of the
work of the reclamation service and
the first to be offered people Of the
middle west. In addition to the dis
plays there will be lectures that will
include private projects, as well as
those developed under direction of
government officials.
The department of agriculture is to
display an unusually complete set OF
models. transparencies, slides, photo
graphs, etc.
What the bureau of plant industry
has done and is doing will be evil
denced by rare plants, trees and
grains never before seen in America.
These things have been found in re-
mote spots Of the old world and are
now being developed for the benefit
of the farmers.
The bureau of entomology will ex-
hibit enlarged models of insects, as
we'll as q large collection of speci-
mems both injurious and beneficial
to crops.
The government will be given all
of the space necessary to show these
exhibits to the best advantage.
Makers of appliances and machin-
cry for the farm will have attractive
exhibits. In addition there will be
seen the special machinery needed in
building and maintaining irrigation
projects. The present plan of using
large traction engines is comparative
ly new and will be a revelation even
to the most experienced farmers of
the middle west.

J. w. Pittinger, the up-to-date nur-
seryman of the Nampa Nursery, is
the first of the orchardists of this vi
cinity who has signified an intention
to install the orchard heaters with a
view of insuring him good apple
crop next year. He says that he will
install the heaters on his 15-acre or
ehard south Of his nursery and that
the Is acres will be made to yield
him $4,000 next year He has an
excellent orchard and if there is a
man in Idaho who knows how to
handel it, that man is Pittinger. He
has been in the horticultural business
in this vicinity for many years and
has learned it from the ground up.

water rights have been received for
only 425,O00 acres. leaving $4,000
acres with water ready for the pillow.
The great problem, therefore. is no
longer that Of engineering. but how
to put this land into the hands of the
men who will Immediately utilize it
for crop production. The approximate
investment in this $4,000 acres,
which is now standing idle, is little
over 10 millions of dollars. so that
in one sense these 10 millions of dol
lars are locked up until the farmer
makes application for the water and
returns to the government his pro-
portionate share of the money which
has been invested in this reclamation
work.

A considerable portion of this irri-
gable land is empraced in four pro-
jects now completed in Montana, Wy
oming and Nevada. On other projects
the farmers owing to lack of funds,
scarcity of labor and other conditions,
have not been able to prepare all Of
their land for water, and thousands
of acres were for this reason unpro-
ductive this season.
The chief engineer Of the reclama-
tion service, now in the field, calls
attention to these important matters,
but predicts that with the excellent
harvests secured from the irrigated
lands this year, it will not be many
months before the areas untitled
will be taken up and put in crops.
The opportunities for homemakers on
a number of these projects are so
attractive, and the terms under
which these lands are disposed of so
reasonable, that there is every rea-
son to expect a heavy rush of home
seekers to take up these lands before
the beginning of the next crop
season.
