We Can Not Part.
Dear Love, we can not part. 1t is too
To disunite our closely woven fate
We can not part; as roots that intertwine
Once cut asunder wither and decay
So were 1t death to part thy life from
mine.
Together we have drunk the wine of life,
Shared all our griefs our hopes, and our
delight.
Fathomed great deeps. and climbed to
dizzy heights,
Lit up loves torch and watched its bea-
con blaze
Down the dark world and brighten all its
ways.
We can not part. The seasons come and
And iife's poor puppets wander to and fro,
But thou and /. beloved. eternal stand,
AS God decreed in loves enchanted land.
Beyond the reach of times relentless
hand.
We can not part.

GETTING A START.

There is much in the present sit
uation to remind one of the condi-
tions at the close of the war. Then
every Negro wanted to be lawyer
with his ultimate goal place in
the United States Senate, or, by
some strange trick of Fate, he
might become president. The pic
ture of the Bruces, the Revels and
a few other political accidents rob-
bed the race of many husky labor
ers, and gave to the world a gang
of legal misfits. During the past
few years Negro doctors and den
lists have made money, as well as
an enviable reputation. They have
by hard work won the confidence
of the race. AS result, every Ne
gro boy, backed by the desires OF
an ambitious parent, is preparing
TO take up 1neulclne.
The Colorado Statesman has no
fault to find with the professional
men of the race. They are hard
working and deserving lot. But
with the myriad of splendid oppor-
tunities on every hand, this paper
believes that the minds and atten
ton of our aspiring young men
should be directed to them. In
choosing life work, one always
seeks that which to him requires
the least effort to gain the coveted
success. The greatest oppor-
tunity for Negro, today, to make
money, and to enjoy to the fullest
ali the rights and privileges guar
anteed by the Constitution, is to
become a successful farmer. Colo
RADIO affords just now the best
chance for our boys. With one OF
the best equipped agricultural col
leges in the country open always to
the farmer, and with many thou
sands of acres of fertile land with
in the reach of any man, the par
ents of the rising generation would
do well to consider the "acres OF
diamonds" ready for harvest by
the patient cleaner.

uation becomes more ridiculous. 1T
does not look as though the So
called reformers were doing much
more than raising a dust, behind
which to hide their puerile schemes.
Denver does not need charter
amendments so much as it needs
the proper administration of pres
ent laws. The sensible plan to be
followed is to buy the present plant
and avoid the consequent litigation
sure to follow unwise schemes. The
colored voters should stand up for
an economical purchase of the
Denver Union Water Company and
an economical administration of
city affairs.

SAYS NEGRO BRAIN
IS NOT INFERIOR.

There is no evidence of the in
feriority of the black race to that
of the white,' declared Professor
Frank Boaz, of the chain of an
throcology at Columbia University
speaking to two hundred Negroes
at tie West Fifty-third street
branch of the colored Y. M. @. A.,
New York.
"Anatomlcal characteristios'show
that all are alike" he continued.
"The brains of the white man av.
erage slightly larger than those of
the Negro, but ninety per cent of
the brain of the Negro is the same
as ninty per cent of the brain of
the white man. The weight of the
brains of white women is less than
that of the Negro. We are only
Justified in saying that there is the
same relation between brain
weight and ability.
But" said Prof. Boas, 'if Ne
gro feels that he is lacking in So
cial opportunity he does not meet
the problem Of the times. He
must recognize that prejudice can
not be met by achievements.
Distrust still exists and the anat-
omical basis is of little value.
Opinions cannot be readily eradi-
Gated, and SO long as the present
emotional state continues hope of
a complete understanding is very
slight. IN. Y. Age.
The Colorado statesman., 1910-01-22
A CHANCE.

Every year sees the population
of Colorado increase. Every year
sees the facilities for increasing
the agricultural output made more
perfect. Thousands of acres of
land are opened for settlement to
the farmer each year. Reports
from all parts of the state shows
increased production of potatoes,
apples, wheat, corn and farm pro-
duce. On the other hand, reports
show that there is steady rise in
breadstuffs and provisions. That
it is costing more to live each year.
This fact is clear, that there is not
sufficient produced to meet the de-
mand. Here is the opportunity for
the Negro farmer and laborer. Go
out on land while it is yet cheap
and with half the labor and suffer
ing make a better living than in
the cities. Out here in Colorado
gigantic irrigation projects are
guaranteeing crops each season on
what has been arid land, provided
the man on the land does his duty.
Be a man on the land, and add
something to the total production.

Bishop E. w. hampton, Grand
Master of the Most Worshipful
Stringer Grand Lodge of Masons
of the State of Mississippi, with
Characteristic foresight, has pur-
chased 1000 acres of land for
Home for the Widows, Orphans
and Aged Masons. The land is
estimated to be worth $4,000.
The shrewdness of the investment
is shown in the fact that exper-
fenced fnanciers predict that with
in a year the land will support the
home, and at the same time weld
handsome dividend to the Grand
Lodge. Bishop hampton has also
arranged to establish an agricultur-
al and industrial school in connec-

educational centers in the State of

diction of the A. M. E. Church.

TOOK MONEY TO ENTER SCHOOL.

Columbia, Miss, Jan 11.-Af
ter robbipg their father of the saw
ings of lifetime in order that
they might matriculate at the
school of Booker Il. Washington
at Tuskegee, Ala, five children of
Albert Alfred, an aged Negro far
mer, have been forgiven.
The three girls and two boys
had attended to the fathers bust
ness affairs, both he and their
mother being unable to write.
Alfred had accumulated $4,000,
which was on deposit in the Col
umbia State Bank. He was op-
posed to educating his offsprings,
believing they should spend their
lives on the farm.
A week ago the five children
disappeared and with them went
the bank savings, Last week AL
fred received letter from the Sec
retary of Booker 7. Washington
asking for recommendations be-
fore the children could be entered
at the Tuskegee institution.

Dresden China.

Judging by your recent note, writes
a correspondent, it seems that the
geographical knowledge possessed by
girl typists is about on a level with
that possessed by the damsels who
represent the postmaster general be-
hind the counters of our suburban
post offices. Having occasion recently
to telegraph funds to town in Ger
many, it became necessary for the
clerk to consult the post office guide.
After a long and fruitless search I
ventured to suggest that she was not
likely to find the town wanted in the
section devoted to the celestial en-
pire, where she was looking. Not
under China" she retorted supercili-
ously. "You said Dresden, didn't
