CHAS. ENQUIsT
To BE CANDIDATE
FOR SHERIFF
WILL SEEK THE NOMINATION.
FROM THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY.

Charles j. Enquist yesterday an
nounced that he would be a can
didate for the republican nomina-
tion for the Office of sheriff and as
SCISSOR of Nye county. This announce
ment was made only after many
solicitations from the hosts of
friends genial Charley possesses. He
is a staunch republican and at the
last campaign was one of the local
delegates to the county convention.
Mr.. Enquist is we'll known through
out the county and will let his OPP
ponents know that he is in the
race. AS there is no other repub-
lican seeking the nomination, Mr..
Enquist will apparently have
clear field until the primaries and
after that he can be depended upon
to hold his own with the demo-
cratic nominee.
Enquist has had considerable ex-
perience in the line of peace officer
having occupied the constable's of
flee at Chico, California, for several
years, where he served with credit
and distinction. No better man
could be selected by the republicans
for this office.

fine ORCHESTRA
CAN BE HEARD At
BUTLER THEATER
ADDITIONAL MUSICAL INSTRU-
MENTS MAKES PICTURES
MORE LFELIKE.

In spite of the sitting hot wea-
Their last evening the Butler theater
was crowded at each performance.
The program from start to finish
was good and was enjoyed. In ad-
dition to the violin and piano, Mr.
Goodfriend has secured the services
of Mr. Enoway, a professional trap
drummer. The orchestra now con-
sists of Mr.. d. Marino, the well
known violinist and Miss Anderson,
who has pleased the public for some
time past at the piano and Mr.. Emo
way, with the mechanical effects
and drums. 1t certainly makes the
pictures seem more realistic and
lifelike. The program for today
includes one of the new feature
Vitagraph films, entitled, A Fami-
ly Feud," which pictures young
| lad on his way from college to
spend his vacation meeting young
lady whom he finds lives next door
to his home, but on his arrival
/ finds that one of those terrible
feuds exist between the young
lady's folks and his own parents.
He has much difficulty in arranging
a settlement of the difficulties so
that he can see the lady OF his
choice, but finally is successful.

Upon taking a competitive eX-
animation we were appointed by
Census Supervisor, the Hon
Leon Shaw of the End super
visors district of this state to
take the census of the colored
population of the entire city OF
Helena also the First School dis
trict excluding the city. We
appreciate this recognition for
the race, while we are not al
lowed to tell any thing in re
gard to the result of our can
vas, we will say that the color
ed population showed up well
IN numbers also in real estate
holdings and when the result
has been given out by the CEN
Sus bureau, we shall have what
we think from all the circum-
stances, a very creditable show
ing.

VIII lSluSS 10 WOIk WITH q man
because he is of a little darker
color, the result is idleness for
the oppressed. Out of this idle
ness comes laziness, and crime.
This is the pedicament that ne
groes in the West are in today.
and this is the one thing that
leaders of the race are are trying
10 eliminate. 1t is almost inn
possible for an educated negro
10 use his education for his sup
port, and we all realize that ed
ucation is the only salvation for
any down-trodden, oppressed
people.
Is it jealousy that makes you
hate us and persecute us so? or
is it because of our black skin?
Surely if you are a Christian,
you know we all came from one
family. Why is it then (since
you have brought us here) that
you won't help US to develop our
abilities, and be a credit to you
and the whole of this great
American nation? Can you not
see that we are bound to de-
velop? Where in history can
records be shown where any
other people, under the most fav-
orable conditions have progress
sed with the rapidity that we
have1 After being kept in bon
dage for almost FIVE hundred
years and then let go without
an inch OF ground that we could
call our own, we now possess,
after fifty years OF hard strug-
Cling, three million dollars worth
OF real estate and personal prop
erty. Thing then OF what we
could have done, and can do,
with less oppression by our
white brother.
Yet, by this great struggle for
existence, we are only growing
strongeraIthough the progress
-FOUR ......... .......
is less rapid.
Education is what is making
, and IS going 10 continue to make
Us a great people. What we must
have are highly educated lead
ers. We hear many criticisms Of
| higher education of the negro,
and many say that university ed
ucation is only time wasted l
do not agree with these cities.
| Not that industrial education
should be minimizcd, but that
/ higher education should be em-
| |phasized. There is need for
systematic organizers and ad-
miuistrators, a. well a. workers.
We have To fight not only
against our prejudiccd white
brothers in this great struggle,
but we have 10 fight against ig-
|uorant, immoral negroes. Lazy
restless negroes are immigrating
from the south and coming north
and the majority of the black
population IN small western
/ cities are Of this type. Fifty per
cent OF them can neither read
nor write and they only make the
struggle harder for honest ne
+ groes.
So YOU see that although we
+ are making steady progress, the
Imarch is slow and hard. But
remember those mighty words
which God has caused 10 be
written I'm the Book OF books
And IN the end Ethiopia shall
stretch forth her hands"

ANACONDA PROGRESSIVE
AND UP-TO-DATE

Before being quarantened we
made a flying trip to Anaconda
and found our people tehre keep
ing abreast of the times, making
money, buying homes and study
ing more than ever, the eco
nomic question Of the day.
We visited the beautiful home
of Mrs. w. Walker while she
was absent from the city we
met her brother, an invalid, but
who was more than interesting.
Mrs. Walker takes a lively in
terest in everything for the up
lift of the race, and is a tower
of strength in church work.
We also called on our former
correspondent, Mrs. vii John
son and husband and found them
nicely situated after an absence
from the state and doing well.
Also the old war-horse, l.. T..
Diver is still the leading spirit in
the Copper city as a business
man, he has a highly creditable
cafe with Buffet in connection
and runs it strictly on business
principles and is pospering.
Oud old friend Alonzo Leath-
erbury is still holding down the
head waters job at the Montana
hotel, he is as debanior and hos
pitable as ever and one OF our
very best citizens who stands at
all times for the progress OF the
race.
While there, we had the pleas
ure OF addressing Q gathering OF
our people, and were pleased at
the marked attention to what we
said, We shall call again soon
We also met young man am

MASONIC PARTY VISITS
HELENA, MONTANA
Finds a City Full of Prosperity

and Helena, Montana covered a
distance of 240 miles. The coun-
try covered on this distance is
devoted very largely to cattle
raising and mining. There is
very little farming in this sec
ton. One of the fascinating
things between these two last
mentioned cities is the constant
view of the snowcapped noun
tains. Between Billings and
Helena the party touched at
Livingston, Montana one of the
main stations for Yellowstone
Park, which is a very thriving
city and the largest one between
Billings and Helena, and is only
a distance of miles from yell
lowstone Park. 1t is surrounded
by lofty mountain peaks which
hover around it and form a great
natural protection for it.
The party reached Helena at
8 80 Wednesday evening. They
were met at the station by
brothers Wheeler, Arnett and
Smith of Unity Lodge No. l0l,
and taken to the home of Mrs.
Cole which had been selected
for their abode during their stay
at Helena, and where they were
Joined by Grand Master Ricketts,
of the party. Dinner was served
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Al
bert Naper shortly after the ar
rival of the party, and this fully
met the wishes of the most fas-
tious. Late in the evening the
party repaired to hall where a
welcome banquet had been ar
ranged for the party. Prior to
the banquet literary and musi-
cal program was rendered. After
this the lodge members and
citizens who had provided the
banquet and the party partook
of the excellent repast which had
been prepared. On this occas-
ion, w. NJ. A. l.. Clark OF Unity
Lodge No. lOl, was toastmaster
Several very thoughtful speech
es were made. Grand Master
Ricketts,, on hebalf of the party,
responding. One Of the pleas
ing acts of the evening was the
very unique method the ladies
pursued in presenting the visit
ing party. By some finely ar
ranged plan the members OF the
party were moved back upon the
stage and brought within a semi
circle which the ladies formed,
and in this position were intro
duced to the masons and friends
who had gathered for the enter
rainment OF the evening. It IS
not saying too much when we
put it down that the evening was
one OF pleasure and profit. When
the reception was concluded the
lhrong gradually dissembled and
went to their homes.
Thursday afternoon the East
ern Star Chapter held a recep-
tion in honor OF the masonic
party. The meeting was large
~ attended The chapter has
large membership, and we are
told that the officers are very
punctual and faithful in the per
torrance Of their duties.
This chapter has only recently
come into our jurisdiction from
The California jurisdiction. Mrs

HELENA IS HIGHLY PRAISED
BY THE MASONIC VISITORS

dIOne OBTAINS IN the realm OF lite
and work. Refreshments were
Served and enjoyed by all those
present.
On Thursday evening the ma
sonic party visited Unity Lodge
No. lOl and gave a demonstra-
tion of the work with several
candidates. Friday evening the
party organized a Commandry OF
Knights Templar. The masonic
work having been finished the re-
mainder of the stay of the party
was devoted to sight seeing and
a study of the conditions.
This stay in Helena should
not pass without mentioning the
social features, which among the
many should be chroniched a
midday dinner at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. James Crump and a
drive which had been arranged
by Unity Lodge No. lOl, which
began at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Crump and encircled the
whole city and suburbs and end
ed at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
]. Harrison, where a formal din
ner had been arranged for the
masonic party, which was all tha
could have been desired.
The party very greatly regret
ted to hasten from the Harrison
home to the Lodge hall for their
pressing duties there, where
they were to engage in their ma
sonic work.
Mr.. and Mrs. Harrison have
recently returned from the Phil
ipines and have in their home
one of the best collections of
china, cut glass and table linens
and brica brac that it was ever
the pleasure of the party to see
in a home.
Sunday morning the party
breakfasted at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Harry Saulsburg. While
breakfasting the party was in
formed that the train on which
they were to leave was three
hours late it thus gave them the
opportunity to spend the whole
morning with MIR. Saulsburg and
his estimable wife.
No party ever had more atten-
tention from men in any city
that they ever visited. Brothers
Arnett, Smith, Bass, Clarke and
Wheeler should be especially
mentioned for their attention.
There are many business en-
terprises in Helena conducted by
colored people. Among them
should be mentioned a very large
grocery store, operated by Mrs.
*. c. Dorsey, Miles-York EX-
press line and barbershop, J. L.
". Clark's hair dressing parlors.
a. J. Walton'a secondhand store
and the Broadway Suitatorium,
conducted by Harry Salsburg,
and is one Of the neatest in the
west, and is located in the cen
Ter Of the city and in one OF the
largest buildings; il is parton
ized by the best people OF Hell
ena. Mr.. Salsburg is from ST.
Joseph, Mo, and Mrs. Salisbury
is a Minnesotan. Mr.. and Mrs.
Salsburg are young and have
only been in business here Tor
two years, yet they have won d
rompetency and have dcnmon-
,trated that a success can be
