CHAMP P|ONSH|P

The ball game yesterday at Glen
wood Springs was one of the fastest
which has been played on the west
ern slope for many days and the re-
suit a decisive. if close. victory for
Palisade. The score was 3 to 0 in
favor of the Peach Pickers and It was
due 70 the generalship of Captain
Moorehead and the excellent pitching
of McCabe that the victory was won
Right Hand" Jones OF Montrose was
right there at all stages of the game
and McCabe did not have it on him at
any time but luck favored the Grand
valley boys and this coupled with
better head-work carried the day.
The game was peppery and eXcit-
ing from start to finish and althouh
each pitcher allowed hut four hits
there was enllvenins fielding and
sensational plays beyond number
a large crowd witnessed the game
and roofing was not lacking. 1t was
the first opportunity of the Gleuwood
Springs fans to see real live game
Of ball for many months and they
took advantage of this opportunity.

opposed. If, however, the Negroes
OF Baltimore could be made to view
the ordinance entirely in its economic
bearings they would insist that having
once been enacted it shall be strictly
enforced. The purpose of the ordi-
nance IS 10 keep up property values.
Now, IN Well-tO-dO neighbOrhoods in
habited by whites property may de-
preclate through immigration of Ne
grOes, but instances of such depre-
citation are rare.
The bulk of the premises occupied
by the ColOred people in Baltimore, as
IN other large cities, is antiquated
housing which the original white ten
ants have abandoned voluntarily. II
IS tor the most part III central IOCa
tlons which are being pTe-empted by
trade and which have ceased to be re-
garded by well-to-do whites as desir-
able for residence. By their presence
as tenants the Negroes provide an in
come for houses which prosperous
whites do not care to live in and
which are not yet in demand for busi-
ness use. The Negro occupation
maintains values and continues onfv
SO long as there is no white competi-
ton. If industry expands rapidly, en-
couraging an immigration of white
operators, the Negroes are driven out
as result of their inferior purchas-
ing power. They cannot afford the
rents which the whites are willing to
pay.
In New York, for example. the Ital-
lans have taken possession of the old
Negro quarter south of Washington
Square. The change of tenancy means
not only that the Negro has been dis
possessed Of his dwelling there, but
that he has been elected from his
place of employment also. Strictly
enforced, the Baltimore ordinance
would prevent white immigrants from
for dwellings in, let us say,
so central Negro colony as that ad
yacent to Johns Hopkins University.
In the absence of white competition
rents there would remain low and the
cOlored residents would continue to
be within walking distance of the in
dustrlal center of the town. With
moderate cost of housing and little or
no expense for carfare, they would
be able to put up a stiff fight against
foreign immigrants in the market for
industrial labor.
As measure for promoting the in
terests Of white real estate owners
the Baltimore ordinance is sillv.-

International Conference on Africa.
TUSKEGEE, Ala, Dec 90
Booker 7. Washington, head of the
well-known industrial school for Ne
groes located at this place, has for
mulated plans and has recently issued
invitations for an international con-
ference at Tuskegee of all persons in
Europe or America who are directly
or indirectly interested in the educa-
ton and improvement of the Negro
peoples of Africa.
The purpose of this conference will
be to bring together not only students
of colonial and racial questions, but
more particularly those who, either
as missionaries, teachers or govern
ment officials, are actually engaged in
any way in practical and constructive
work which seeks to build up Africa
by educating and improving the char
acter and condition of the native peo-
pies.
This conference will meet at Tus-
kegee about the middle of January.
1912. It's purpose will be to get from
the people who are on the ground
clearer and more definite notion
of the actual problems involved in
the redemption of the African peo-
pies; to enable those who are en-
gagged in work in Africa to see for
themselves what IS being done at
Tuskegee in the way of educating
the black man, and to enable them to
decide for themselves to what extent
the methods employed at the Tuske-
gee school can be used TO advantage
in Africa
For a number of years past mission
aries from all parts of the world have
been coming in increasing numbers
to visit and study the methods of the
Tuskegee Institute, and it is believed
that this conference will prove a
welcome opportunity to many others
TO do the same. 1t IS expected that
a permanent organization of "the
Friends of Africa" may be effected
as a result of this conference, which
will aid in organizing, stimulating and
directing the work of education and
civilization in the Dark Continent.

THE JAMES BROTHERS.
What They Did for the Poor


The James Brothers, the popular
undertakers of this city, showed their
llberality Christmas Day by looking
after the distress and suffering bv
their magnanimous gifts. These
brothers not only bury the dead, but
IN the modest, unostentatious wav.
help, considerably the living. These
brothers aim to please everybody. and
out OF a little give a little.
The Bee feels that such an act of
charity Is worthy of mention regard
less of the modesty of the firm.
These brothers sent to the various
churches Washington Christmas Dav
from 10 to 20 baskets of good things
10 eat for the poor of the churches.
The baskets contained chickens. can
ned goods, vegetables, fruit, cranber-
rles, hominy, celery, flour, meal. etc
Many poor members were seen com
ing from the churches Christmas car
rylng their baskets of good things
home to be enjoyed and singing the
praises OF the James Brothers and
saying: God bless those BOYS. In
as you have done it unto
them you have done it unto me-"

To the Editor of the Sun.
Sir: Comments on your editorial ar
ticle of Dec. by our leading Negro
journal, The New York Age, caused
me to procure and read carefully what
the Sun says on "A Curious Docu-
ment"
There is no longer any division
among large majority of the
thoughtful members of my race on
the sentiment you expressed. The
Negro race, like others, can make
its way to the top only by patience
and perseveT lnCe, and while a few
calamity hOvlers and a whining i'm
potent contingent may succeed in Gre
ating a bad impression here and there.
even to the extent of getting the ear
of some across the water, there are
enough Of us toiling upward in the
night, as we'll as in the day, to make
good.
The masses of my people, as well as
the leaders IN this section, believe in
the doctrine preached by DR.. Wash
ington and his kind, and while pro-
testing all the way and at all times
against unjust discrimination and in
sisting on a square deal, yet they
trust the American people, North and
South, for the final and complete full
flment OF all guaranteed us under the
Constitution of this country, the best
and most open door to all its people,

OPEN LETTER

To the President of the United States:
| don't know whether you want the
colored vote or not, but there is one
thing | do know, and that IS the col
OTed voter in 1912 intends to think
and act for himself. 1t looks to me,
Mr.. President, that both political par
ties are endeavoring to unload the col
ored American, and there IS nothing
for him to do but to make terms with
some party for himself.
In speaking of the public school
question, Mr. President, and the rec
ommendation you made to Congress
to transfer the control of the public
schools to the District Commissioners
is not approved by the people. Maj.
hudson, the Engineer Commissioner,
doesn't represent the people. If you
will, ask him, Mr.. President, TO report
to you the number of Objectionable
houses that have been recently erect
ed in close proximity of the cOlOred
schools against the wishes Of the peO-
pie.
Also ask him, Mr.. President, to
give you the number of colored ap-
pointments he has made IN his office
since he has been Commissioner. |
mean clerks or messengers, not street
cleaners or street sweepeTs. Also ask
him, Mr.. President, If a representative
place in his office has been given TO
colored American since his appoint
ment.
Our public schools, Mr.. President,
have never been better conducted.
The members of the Board of Educa-
ton serve without pay and they
should be given credit for what they
do. Mai Judson doesn't know any
thing about our public schools. He
has no knowledge of the wants of
the schools. Why should he meddle,
anyway? Does he want to reduce the
number of coiored teachers?
It seems to me, Mr.. President, be-
fore you made your recommendation
to Congress to transfer the schools
to the Commissioners you should
have requested the Board of Educa
ton to give you an estimate OF the
expenditures. You will be convinced
that you have been misinformed, and
when the Board sends you a reply,
the source from which you received
your first information will be weighed
in the balance and found wanting.
The judges of the Supreme Court
make every effort to appoint good
men and women on the Board of Ed
ucation. If they make mistakes, it is
no fault of theirs, because all men
make mistakes; but when the appoint
ing power appoints a man whose rec
ord is well known, he is to blame /
cannot see how the public schools can
be benefited by transferring their
control to the Commissioners.
The people have the most abiding
faith in the President, Capt James
F. Oyster, and the Board of Educa-
ton. The people intend to uphold the
Board, notwithstanding your recon-
mendation, Mr. President; and be
lieve me when I say that you have
been misinfOrmed.
Hoping that you had a most de-
lightful Christmas, and may the New
Year realize a change in your policies.
With respect and esteem, believe
me,
Very respectfully
THE EDITOR.

of the past, when Dick was the ar

but 1t has been few years back, Dick
was the nattiest dresser, the greatest
patron of music, and the nearest ap-
proach to a black Ward McAllister

everything in society was easy for
you, and if you could get your clothes
made by the same tailor that made
Dicks you were sure to be correctly
dressed. Dick was the one "IT" that
we had Then he smoked nothing
less than three-for-quarter, and those
only semi-occasionally, most usually
straight ''tenners" and two s."

strong enough to raise the Maine

seen Dick with patent leather pair
of shoes on since the panic of 1903.

Washington has not produced an
other Dick, alias Richard Tompkins.
We will not call him the grand old
man, even though he wears a hair
less patch on top of his head. for
Dick does not wish TO be included
in the green memory" class. l will
just call him one of the "once-was-
but-never-again" class, for this class
IS a sort of indefinite connection be-
tween then and row." but hardly
ever eligible for membership in the
'down-and-Out' class. All, there
Richard, remember that little drive
years ago, and behind your own geld

Prof John r.. Taylor from the SER
vice OF the city schools, since a num-
Der OF his friends are now active ere
ating a sentiment against the action

According to the opinion of many
who we're in position to know, the ac-

foundation il was always hard to corr

become very lax in his methods OF
school management, and hat he was
giving more of his time TO outside
