BY JAMES CUBERT CAMPBELL

The chief topic of discussion
here for the past two weeks has
been the great Y. M. G. A. meet
meeting, Colored Mems Branch,
at the Belasco Theater, before
which DR.. Booker T. Washington
spoke. The audience was made
up entirely of men, and Prof.
Kelly Miller is quoted as having
said that it was the largest meet
of men he had ever witnessed.
One of the features over which
considerable discussion arises is,
whether or not the Sunday ad-
dress of the great educator was
not his best and greatest effort in
Washington. The friendly rival
nv seems to be keen in an effort to
fix the status of that address, but
most of all we hear comments
about what a great many have
termed the meetings ''stage set-
ting" that is, how it appeared
from. the audience. The greatest

controvert this aspersion. Here
and there among our people will be
found one whose reputation is taint-
ed. But the great mass of our peo-
pie possess the same rugged honesty
and virtues that characterized the
Southern slave when left to protect
the homes of his soldier master. He
was trusted then. He can be trust

living Negro, as he was introduced
there, came upon the stage from
the left, and, as in the drama of
life, he occupied the front of the
stage, so did he at Belasco's Theat-
er at this meeting. United States
Senators, members of the House
of Representatives, clergymen,
professional men, business men,
and, in fact, men from nearly ev-
cry walk of life, formed a great
prominent background, One of
the most notable features, how
ever, of this background scene,
was the presence of, to a man, a
certain class of our most respect
ed citizens. All the country does
honor and recognizes, proudly,
the lofty height to which the Tus-
kegee Educator has risen, but
there is nowhere in the land where
this lofty station is appreciated
more than it is here. The truth
is potent and everywhere known
and recognized that DIR. Washing
ton is one of the most powerful
and influential citizens in the
land, and there is nothing upon
earth to which Washington is
more afraid or to which it pays
more respect than it does to ''in-
fuence." Quite few of the re-
spected citizens here whose news
paper names always appear with
the Hon" prefix. have been
boasting that they never attended
a Y. M. G. A. meeting. but it was
noticed that when Dr. Washing
ton addressed the Y M. G. A.
gathering, they occupied front
seats. Everyone of them was

churches and as many ministers,
10000 stores, 46 banks and more
than $4,000 young men and wo

With such progress it goes with
out saying that the Negro has not
only made good as a lawabiding
citizen but in all avocations of
life. No anarchists or bomb
throwers are found among the Ne
gro race. Can this be truthfully
said of any other race?

Washington, May 26.-Speaking
to the colored graduates of Howard
University, near this city, today,
President Taft declared that never
at any time has the future of the
Negro, as race, appeared more
hopeful and bright than at the
present day.

South, the President said, he be-

SMALL THINGS.

SMALL THINGS.
This is a great big world. But,
the acts, and deeds which count in
its makeup are small. 1t is the lit
tie things that count. Little things
both in the acts and the deeds. For
some time, now, this reliable fam
ilv journal devoted to the advance
ment of the race has been discuss
ing and urging upon our patrons
especially and to the race in gen
eral, the Importance of utilizing
every means to become more de-
sirable citizens. We have tried to
show the great value to our people
of doing something to change pub
lie sentiment to more favorable
point. In the past twenty years
that we have lived in Colorado, we
have seen many changes occur.
None, perhaps more humiliating
to us than the gradually diminish
ing opportunities for labor along
various lines for the members of
our race. Years ago there were
many avenues open to our people
for employment, which are now
closed. Not exactly because we are
black, but in many ways, the dere-
liction of our people in small things
have been, and now is, the cause.
THE COLORADO STATESMAN
only asks the Negro to consider
himself, and the part HE has
played in affairs. We only ask
him to be honest. We cannot be
honest with ourselves without being
honest with others. To be honest
means something besides lying and
stealing. 1t enters into all that we
do. One can steal time from an
employer as well as steal money.
Be on time. One can steal by do
ing poor work. Do your best.

He was escorted to the foundation
of the new Carnegie library of the
university, where he officiated at
the laying of the cornerstone.

Mr.. Taft in his address, "that the
colored race today would be bet
ter off if they all had university
education. No race would be bet

versity men. The great body of
the colored race, as the great body
of the white race, must depend for

said, there is very great oppor-
tunity for educated colored men to
aid their race in the struggle be-
fore them for economic success and
the maintenance of themselves as
worthy and valuable members of

He said that the colored race

(From Cheyenne State LEADER
Cheyenne, Wyo., May 19, '09.

Cheyenne, Wyo., May 10, '09.
Editor Cheyenne State Leader:
Deor Sir:-An editorial under
the above heading which appeared
in your valuable paper yesterday
was read with mucn qualification
by me as we'll as by many other
members of my race and the fat
tering comment it is receiving is
justly merited. 1t has been logi-
cally discussed by no little num-
ber of Cheyenne Negroes and it is
the general opinion of all that it
will have much influence in add
ing to and upholding the morals
of the Negro soldier who have ev-
er been loyal to the stars and
stripes.
1t is quite natural, of course,
that undesirable characters are to
be found in any great number of
individuals, regardless of race,
creed or nationality, bnt the Ne
gro is the only race that is singled
out and all judged by those of its
bad characters. This, of course,
is only done by a prejudiced and
narrow minded people, but the
better class Of the Caucasions who
are fighting against such unjust
evils, are looked upon by Negroes
everywhere as beacon lights for
the solution of such evils.
There has never been a time
since the days of Attucks the Ne
gro who shed the first blood in de-
fense of this country-that the
Negro has not played his part we'll
for the same cause; In fact he
has acquitted himself on the bat
tlefield in a degree that caused
the civilized world to marvel at his
bravery and wonderful achieve
ments of victory. During the Civ
il war when he was called to arms
to help save the nation, he re-
sponded willingly and sacrificed
his life in many battles and when
the smoke cleared away at the
close of the war, he too stood at
parade rest, and witnessed what
he had help make possible-Lee's
surrender to Grant. The Negro
receives less protection from the
flag he help to save than any of its
subjects, yet history fails to re-
cord a single instance of traitor
against the Union among the Ne
groes. In the recent Spanish
American war the Negro soldiers
covered themselves with glory by
charging and capturing San Juan
Hill in the face of death and saw
ing the Rough Ribers from ami
hilation.
AS race, the Negro is under a
severe handicap, but notwith-
standing this fact. he is fast fcrg-
ing to the front by accumulating

PETTY STEALING.

In speaking of stealing one can
not accuse the Negro of any very
great offenses. He has never robbed
a bank or held up train, or stolen
his millions from the pockets of the
dear people ON the Board of Trade.
But he has been charged with steal
ing coal, chickens and divers and
sundry articles of petty nature.
This is not stealing its just taking.
But its bad form and the sooner our
people find it out, and stop putting
collar buttons, stick pins, chickens
and coal in the same sack, the better
it will be for the good name of
the race. Its disgrace to be pet
ty thief. To show much OF this
kind of conduct can the present un-

SOCIALISTS AT CEREMONY.
Trench Deputy and Mayor oficiates
at Civil Baptism.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
PARIS, March 1.-The socialist deputy
and mayor OF the little town Of Ivry,
just outside Paris. presided last Saturday
at the civil baptism of twelve children.
There was no real baptism about the cere-
'mony. which consisted in the formal
promise Of twenty-four godfathers and
godmothers to be responsible for the
children and to make good citizens Of
them.
A tremendous crowd had gathered to
see the ceremony. which took place in
the town hall OF Ivry in a room draped
with socialist red. The mayor, NJ. COu-
tard. dressed in a black frock coat and
a dress waistcoat and wearing his tri-
color scarf, made his entry to the strains
of the "MarSeillaiSe."
He made a short speech, explaining
that no irreverence to other ideas than
bis own was intended and then turning
TO the twelve sodfathers and twelve god
mothers. asked each pair Of them in turn:
M. A and Nine. B, do you prom
ise on your honor to become the pro-
tectors of this child. should his or
her parents not be able to protect him
or her,
He then read aloud a formal promise
TO this effect, which was signed by the
godfather and godmother, and made a
speech. in which he glorified the social

How to Keep Carnations.

Carnations, according to an expert.
should never be sprinkled on top, but the
stems must be thrust into a deep recep-
tacle. Incidentally it is of the utmost i'm
portance that the vase shall be clean
within. for contaminated water kills them
Every night the flowers are taken out
and about an inch clipped from the
stems. Fresh water is put in and the
whole set into cool place for the night.
According to this authority carnations
treated in this fashion will last for a
week. He lays great stress on the fact
Of keeping the vase clean.
Roses. he declares, require the same
'method. save that at night they should
be sprayed with fine atomizer and the
tops covered with wax paper.
There is no question but that frequent
changes Of water will make any flowers
last several days longer. Some women
who have given much attention to such
matters believe that a little charcoal In
the vase acts as a preservative, and per-
haps 1t dues. On the same theory, salt is
excellent. but more than any other detail
the temperature of the room In which the
blooms are kept is Of importance. No
flowers can be expected to endure in q
heated room. and 1t is the part Of wisdom
to remove them from any position near a
lighted lamp.

Simple Treatment
Preserves Cut Flowers

Few persons know that violets. carna-
tons, etc, after they are cut require
different care II they are TO be kept
alive and fresh. Vioiets, for instance.
after being worn become soft and wilted.
They may be made like new by clipping a
short bit from the stems and putting the
flowers into a glass wherein the water
reaches the blossoms The bouquet should
not be cut apart. Over the flowers and
glass itself a piece of wax paper should
be placed and twisted down tightly and
the whole set in the refrigerator or out Of
doors IL the weather is not too cold
freezing. With this treatment the violets,
unless dead, become fresh.
\ girl who wears these flowers frequent
ly has adopted an even simpler method OF
freshening. For as soon as she takes
them off she plunges the heads into cold
water. and then puts the bunch back in
the box in which it came, covering the
flowers with the wax paper always used
as lining. The box is then put out on
the window sill, and in the morning the
blossoms are usually like new.
