BUSINESS INCREASING.
Afro-American Insurance Concerns Be
ing Helped by Hampton Institute.


The rapid increase In the number OF
insurance companies among Afro
Americans in the tidewater section OF
Virginia and especially In the vicinity
Of Hampton institute within the past
few years has made such a favorable
impression upon the principal and fac
ulty of the school that they have EN-
ployed an insurance expert at the in
stitute. whose duty 1t is to give In
struction to all persons engaged in the
insurance business among our people
whom he can reach. Already a sufi
cient number has been got together to
form the Federated Insurance league
The new organization will endeavor to
unite the various secret benevolent
and fraternal societies, which number
something like ITS, known to exist
The combined membership of these SO
cieties numbers about 100000. with
an annual income Of $4,OOO,OOO.

LOYALTY BEGETs LOYALTY.
The Negro Press is Expected to Make
Bricks Without Straw.

The press is the glory of the white
race. In the smallest hamlet and the
largest city it holds sway, supporting
with absolute fidelity that which its
patrons stand for, whether that be
good or evil. Human slavery, indus
trial slavery. vice and lawlessness,
and all the misdirected efforts OF the
white people, are upheld or excused
by loyal press:
Take the Cairo, Illinois, riots last
week! Note the immediate support
which came to the rioters in their
attack upon law and order, simply be-
cause it was white" rioters arrayed
against "black" deputies defending
"black" purse-snatcher. True, a rev
papers rise superior to expedlency
and fight for right, let it profit whom
it may. But in the main, the white
press is THE ONE MAINSTAY OF
RACE PREJUDICE. 1t is a raging
Goliath daring any Negro to attempt
to rise above the level OF his fellows.
Nor is David in sight. The Negro
press maintains a precarious exist
ence, never getting far from business
insolvency, and always compelled to
hawk its services about to the highest
bidder, because the Negro race unlike
the white race, does not support its
press. big" Negroes expect the
press to exist without them contribut-
ing a dollar to it. Social Negroes
give big parties and expect detailed
descriptions thereof, but never well
come the newspaper collector. Poor
Negroes cannot give to the race press
what they have not. So it is that the
race press is feeble. Its debtors are
legion and its supporters few. Church
members whose professions OF relig'
ion seem honest people who work
year in and year out, race lovers" OF
all degrees of curb-stone eloquence,
are all to be found among those who
subscribe for but do not pay for the
race papers. The poor editor Is SO
hungry and hopeless that he lifts up
his eyes in thankfulness when such
as these ask that the paper be sent
them, but alas, for his hopes, pay
day never comes.
On the other hand, the daily paper
enters these same homes and is paid
for. The one feebly tries to show
that Ethiopia is rising; the other
turns its shafts of ridicule upon us,
points out our every weakness, and
where truth and insinuation will not
avail, resorts to pure fabrication to
make case against us.
No wonder the Negro is so gener-
ally despised. He kisses the hand

this race of ours gives whole-hearted
support of its own press and exer-
cises discrimination in its choice OF
white papers, we must suffer to have
our cause discounted before the Am
erican people.

PINGREE, IDAHO

Pingree, Idaho, In Bignham coun-
tile Gem state to create sensation.
The town is in the center of a vast
area of newly irrigated lands water
ed from the Snake river, and it will
be the distributing point for all that
section. The Oregon Short Line is
laying track to the new town and
will be running trains there early In
June. The Townsite company has
expended nearly 500, 100000 already
in erecting a very fine hotel and
stores, and in addition to this ware
houses and cottages will be completed
at very early date. A complete wa
ter system has also been installed;
cement curbs and sidewalks are be-
ginning to take on proportions equal
to many towns of many years
growth.
On or about June 18th a big ex-
cursion will be operated to the new
town when drawing for town lots
will take place and hundreds of local
business men, bankers, merchants
and others are going TO get in on the
ground floor. Twin Falls, another
prosperous Idaho town now has a
population of eight thousand but six
years ago its site was sagebrush
waste. Pingree has every oportun-
ity of becoming an equally thriving
community.
Plans for a school house, church
and other structures are now being
drawn and by the time the opening
takes place the town will be a hive
of industry. 47-2

1t having been determined by au-
thentic records that the first perman-
ent settlement of whites in the terri
tory of Idaho was made at Franklin,
Oneida county, Idaho, June IA, 80
years ago, the citizens of that city are
arranging for a monster celebration
in memory of the early pioneers,
which promises to be an event unique
in the history of the state.
In line with this, Governor Brady
has issued a proclamation making
June Is Idaho Day, on which date
he desires every citizen of the state
to at least reflect upon the great debt
owed to the pioneers, and to pay rev.
erence to their memory.
The executive committee in charge
of the Franklin celebration extends
an invitation to all citizens of the
state to be present and participate in
the program of the day, and everyone
is given. an opportunity of contribute
ing a small amount toward the cele-
bration. ..

WHEN TO SOW WILD OATS

Exchange
A correspondent wrote an unidenti-
fed exchange to ask when is the best
time to sow wild oats. Here's what
the editor told him: Well, the best
time is between the ages of eighty
four and ninety-two. BY that time
a mans ardor for cheap booze and
his longing to fill up have turned as
cold as a pair of icy feet inserted in
the small of your back on Christmas
morning.
When a mans eyesight fails so that
he can not see the corner pocket or
tell lady friend from the nightwatch
he ought to sow his first crop, for
one night out will curl him up like
a runty pig with gastritis. The young
man who thinks he can drill in a
juicy crop of wilt oats at sixteen
and cultivate 1t with four full quarts
per day, cheap calico and striped
deck until he is thirty. will find him
self beating a we'll worn path to the
inebriate home when he ought to be
doing a mans work with an honest
wage. The platform lecturer who
tells you at $25 per night and the
price of a rump steak, that every
boy must SOW his wild OATS" is a
bigger mule than Balaam's colt,
which became angered with it's moth
er because she withheld the daily
pabulum and tried to kick the rim off
the milky way. A six ply drunk is
about as good as password to the
business community as a record for
housebreaking, and the callow youth
who goes to the mat with half pint
of redeye as a steady diet will be
as much of a favorite in the betting as
a one-legged man in a hurdle race.
The boy who thinks more of tri-
weekly jag than he does of the feel
ings of a good father and mother
merely adds venom to a memory that
will sting him until he cashes in. The
towns are full of young fellows who
have gone up against the wild oats
proposition with the swagger of
pop-eyed pullet and who are as worth
less for work purposes as a club
footed gelding. If you are bound to
set out a good crop wait until you
reach the age when you have to take
your teeth out and clean them In
the sink, while whistling softly
through your gums as you converse
with your loved ones.

4 Civilized Peoule.

Some of the politicians and some of the newspapers of this territory would have the world believe that the people of Arizona are savages.
 one of the characteristics of savage tribes is their inability to receive un- welcome news without rising in wrath against the bearer of such news.
 The politicians and newspapers re- ferred to would have it understood that the people of Arizona are such savages that they cannot permit a relation of the facts about statehood
 But this conception of Arizona citi- zenship is altogether wrong. We can- not understand how it is possible for the foolish belief to be entertained.
 The people of this territory are in telligent They are more than glad to be informed authoritatively-however the news may be-that the of the pending cOnstitu tion means certain defeat of statehood.
