O. Colorado! Eden in disguise!
In thy paradise was mans fall de-

If e'er that could have been, this, we

OF sunshine, flood was spilled when

For in the universe no spot is found,
Where sunshine more glorious dotn

Through the various seasons OF all

From vernal spring to thy winter so
clear
Never passeth fortnight late or soon,
Rut bespeak, part of it doth of June;
Alone for this praises loud thou should

Throughout the world immortalize thy

But maiden-like, innocent, pure and

Though bedecked with beauties gorge

JTnmindfuI thou are of thy virtues rare.
What with thy mountains, bold, snow

Towering majestically kiss the blue

While thy prairies' unbounded ex-

Thy beauties eclipse Raphaeps wild

disfranchisement. 1t hinders the
development of the whites, and
keeps the state under the control
of a few, who are free to loot the
public if they desire. 1t tells the
black man he has got to have extra
advantages, and to the white man
that they are not necessary.
"It seems to me that the Negro
ought to get very busy trying to
solve all these problems. There are
entirely too many people of darker
hue in the world, for the problem
of different races living together in
peace and harmony to go unsolved.
We people here in America have a
splendid chance to anticipate that
world wide solution that is bound
to come.
cit is unfair to ourselves not to
protest when we feel ourselves be-
ing treated unjustly. 1t is unfair
to our white neighbors. Nothing is
doing the South more harm than to
have class of entirely unprotected
citizens, a people who can be
stepped on at will, people who
can be treated anyway, who can be
literally walked over, without the

greatest harm is going to be done to

up against the proposition OF more
land. They ran against the moral
conscience of the nation; slave
property became unsafe, because
of the underground railway and
this moral sense, for slaves could
run away to the Northern states
and to Canada. Finally slavery
was overthrown.
Reconstruction with its sub
sequent criticism of the Negro re-
suited. 1 fear that too often, Ne
groes themselves yield to the crit
icism that is passed upon the CIV
ing oil the ballot to them directly
after the Civil War. 1t was alb
solutely necessary. 1t was not CIV
en- to the ex-slaves because they
thought they could use it properly;
not because it was thought they
were qualified for its best and high
est use, but 1 submit that the best
way to train man to use the bal
lot is to let him use it. The bal
lot was the only way to guarantee
to the Negro his freedom. The
fourteenth and fifteenth amend
ments were absolutely necessary to
guarantee the enforcement of the
thirteenth. Too many attempts
were made directly after emancipa-
ton to again subject the Negroes
to slavery in everything except the
name.
Moreover, the record of the
Negroes in Southern legislatures
was not so bad. True, they did
some silly things, but they gave to
the South some things that still re-
main. The first system OF free
public schools was given by this So
called carpet bag rule, with large
Negro majorities in the leglsla-
lures. They gave the South its
first Democratic government by
opening the ballot to the Negroes
and the poor whites. Hitherto the
government in most OF the
Southern states was one OF the arls-
tocracy."
"To be sure much stealing was
done in the legislatures under Ne
gro control. Some is done now. At
that time stealing was going on all
over the country, from st. Louis
to Washington. One clique in Con-
gress stole fifty millions IN one
deal, which besmirched even
Vice President and Cabinet Sec
retary. The South Carolina gov
ernment was especially extrava-
CANT and did some silly things. The
attempt was made to buy up a
large tract of land and parcel 1t
out to large number OF people.
The bill did pass. In the end the
result was that the state had some
mighty poor land and some
Southern people had a lot OF
money.

thrown in a manner with which
you are perfectly familiar. In
overthrowing this rule, the step

Durham, N. c., July 26.-W. E.
B. Du Bois, director of sociological
research, looking into the progress
of the American Negro, was the
central figure in the last week s
program of the National Religious
Training School and Chautauqua
here. DR.. Du Bois gave three lee
lures, the first on "The History OF
Education" and the other two on
1.-The History of the Negro
His first lecture on "The His
tory of the Negro" dealt with the
record of Negroes in Egypt and In
central and Northern Africa, which
brought his narrative to the begin
ming of African slavery trade.
In his second address, DIR. Du-
Bois stated that the Negroes OF to-
day should consider it privilege
to help in the solution OF the Ne
gro problem as one Of the world s
great movements and not as having
to do with something unpleasant.
He called attention to the fact that
the majority of the people OF the
world were colored, and that be-
lief in humanity must necessarily
be a belief in the colored man. In
the course of his remarks, DIR. Du-
Bois said: "Back of slavery and
the slave trade, lay of course sew
eral excuses. The first excuse was
that slavery gave an excuse for the
conversion of the heather. But
what was to be done, when the con-
verted slaves wanted to enter the
Christian church? The old En-
elish law said that no Christian
could be held slave. That took
the excuse for slavery away, but
another was soon found.
"Just as soon as one evil goes on
unattended to, with the hope that
it will settle itself, another one will
rise up in it's place. Problems like
slavery, that were four hundred
wears in the making, do not settle
themselves. There came the at'
tempt 70 establish a feudal system
with black and white serfs at tne
bottom. The rise of the cotton IN
dustry spoiled that, and placed
slavery on an economic basis, ana
consequently beyond the pale OF
criticism.
"Then came certain hindrances.

from the Missouri Compromise to
the Civil War is the attempt OF the

To the white mans plague is the dear

And in quest of health which we all
hold sweet,
Thou are sought by man in thy sacred

And to he who has sought the well in

Thy touch, magic like has been e'er as

So thy wonderous springs and cline

Onward before civilizations sway,

From what once was barbaric rendez-

A commonwealth powerful and mighty
too
Magic like out of disorder doth ooze,
Forever thy soil with peace to infuse.
A commonwealth by nature as by

AS wealth abounds in mountain, hill
and plain:
For all who will thy dormant womb ex-

And from thee wrest thy precious shin

While they the tillers of thy fertile

May thy abounding plains great wealth

And when harvest time is come and Is

For what once appeared vast expanse

Irrigation by mystic art replaced
Prickly cactus and every noxious weed
By products suited to mans urgent

To inundate what nature would forget;
And if perchance, should she forsake

A miniature flood is at thy command.

Grazing ever, on thy plains and thy

eye,
And augmenting his Golfers e'er they

To wander beneath thy fruit laden

For the grizzled bear, the elk or the

Yet of thy great wealth, the half is I'M

Committees for Celebration
Make Progress
WILL Be EXCURSION RATES
Ball Games, Oratory and Big
Time for All

Arrangements are being perfected
in Grangeville July fourth and fifth.
A meeting of the committee was held
the first of the week and consider
able progress reported.
There will be big ball game Sun
day the third in the city between
Lewiston and Grangeville and on that
date reduced rate tickets will be sold
from Lewiston and Prairie points to
the city. An effort is being made by
the chairman of the transportation
committee to have the 9imit Of these
tickets extend until July sixth and he
no doubt will be successful. This will
give people along the line an oppor-
tunity to celebrate in Grangeville.
Among the other thing arranged
for is the big parade which will take
place July Fourth. Many spectacular
floats will be arranged and among
other things will be take-off on
prominent people and events. The
Great Hunting Scene, or Teddy in
the Wilds of Africa, will be worth
coming hundred miles to see.
There will also be long line of
autos and a floral division in the line.
A ball game between local teams
will be arranged for each and every
day.
The shooting tournament will be in
charge of the gun club and no doubt
many of the crack shots of this Sec
tion will take part.
A theatrical company will put on
several popular pieces at the opera
house during the celebration and the
local fire company will give big
ball.
1t goes without saying the usual
amount of oratory will be turned
loose and the silver tongued orators
will have ample opportunity to grow
patriotic and fight the great battle
again.
Music will be provided by a band
and alos glee club.

kooSkia Bunch Here on That
Date
LEWISTON -REUBENS SUNDAY
Bows from JaCk-Pine Country
Play at Lewiston

Saturday will be big day with the
base ball fans; Kooskia is a coming
and coming strong. Manager Slus-
ser has signed for game with this
bunch of live ball tossers on that
date and what promises to be a fast
game will be pulled off in this city
Saturday. The team from the Clear
water town has the reputation of be-
ing fast one.
The local team will play in Cotton
wood with the boys of that town Sun
day of this week and as "Brooksie"
the great left fielder will join the
boys by that time and in other ways
the team strengthened, this will make
a, good game.
Another game of Importance will be
the one scheduled to take place at
Lewiston Sunday between Lewiston
and those devils from the jack-pine
reservation, Reubens. They seem to
just naturally grow ball players over
there and have as fast bunch as
there is along the line. Lewiston will
have to go some and do better than
she has in the past If she does busi-
ness with those fellows. A special
rate of one and third fare from all
Prairie points has been obtained and
no doubt many people will go down
to see the game.
Suze Harris, one of the best player
on the local team, left this week for
Walla Walla and thus quite loss is
sustained. However, with the arrival
of Brooks, who comes from Laramie,
wyoming, to join the boys, and the
shifting of positions of some Of the
other players Grangeville will be able
to present a pretty formidable array.
On July 3rd the Grangeville team
will try and take the scalps of the
Lewiston bunch. A special train and
excursion rates will be given to this
city. This should be close game.
