A KIND WORD FOR THE JEFFs.

Dear effs:-While others are talk
ing, permit me to join in the expert
ence meeting" l would like at this
particular time to speak kind word,
not only of The Jeffersonians, but of
the editor as WE'LL No man, perhaps.
was ever more misjudged, or misun-
derstood, than Mr.. Watson. But he,
like all truly great leaders of men
and measures, must at times suffer
their motives impugned The hori-
zon OF the average citizen is so close,
and his information SO limited, that
great allowance must be made for
his seeming Indifference. Bred and
born in an age of commercialism, his
ch1efest concern seems to have been
the question Of bread and meat. His
stock-in-tr has been ignorance
ever since the Civil War His only
resource has been the superstition,
creeds and ''isms' of the past. This
has followed us from the dark
ages guiding our footsteps as a
cloud by day and pillar of fire by
night. The dead sentiment of the
past, the rules, systems and regula-
tons Of the past are haunting us to-
day, until we are no longer invol-
untary slaves to these WhimS~ and
fancies, but voluntary ones. We forge
our chains and fasten our own fet-
tiers, or stand by and allow it to be
done in broad daylight with our eyes
wide open. Submissiveness has got
ten to be second nature" In church
and state the voice of the people is
no longer heard. The aristocratic
hand behind one rules the other.
And yet, and yet, there is the
dawning of better day. The people
are gradually coming to their senses.
The voice of such men as Mr.. Watson
is at last reaching the ears of the
people. His Paul Revere" rides will
bear fruit in due season. His Patrick
Henry appeals will yet stir the peo-
pie to action. Our Priest-ridden sys-
tenn is bound to fall when once folks
get onto the racket.
And right here I want to urge
every subscriber to this paper to
stand by your gun. Keep your sub
scription in advance and encourage
others. What matters it if you don't
understand Mr.. Watson every time?
Results are what Mr.. Watson is after.
We know his record in the past We
know no man ever served his day and
generation more faithfully. Then let
us be patient, and, like the children

TRADES SCHOOL FOR
SOUTHERN NEGROES

New York, April 2O.-Father
John G. Burke, director general of
the Catholic Board for Mission
Work among Colored People, says
a great industrial school, modelled
on Tuskegee lines, will be estab-
lished in Alabama or Mississippi.
This plan was agreed upon at a
meeting of the board held at Car
dinal Gibbons residence in Balti
more two weeks ago,
Father Burke believes the Cath
olic church should not only take
an interest in the spiritual well
fare of the race, but should plan
for its material welfare also.
The board has considerable
amount of money on hand for the
project, and this, with the SlOo,
600 it contemplates raising an
nually, will be used for the futher-
ance of the educational work
among the Negroes of the South.
"The Catholic church," says
Father Burke" has never been
backward, where the salvation OF
souls was concerned, and that the
Fathers have seen fit to launch a
new project for the spiritual devel-
ment of the Negro is but another
instance of its desire to leave no
stone unturned to give one of Gods S
creatures the benefits of his teach
Jugs. The movement will require
lot of time and labor, and we
shall cheerfully take up the new
burden, A site for the school will
be purchased this summer, prob
ably in Alabama.

VERNON RUMOR.

Just as if the Taft administra-
ton did not have enough troubles,
Dame Rumor proposes to add an
other to the white mans burden.
Telegraphic reports have 1t that
President Taft will retire Register
Vernon from the Treasury Depart
ment in June and fill the place
with a white man. We do not pre-
tend to know how much truth there
is in this rumor, but we feel safe
in predicting a little on the result
of it. if it be true. Speaker Can
non may have had some trouble
with the insurgents, but his trou-

JUST THINKING.

In the few days before the cleo
ton the people are just thinking.
Here is great, big, growing city
with citizens and sojourners from
the ends of the earth. Here are
to be solved perplexing questions
of municipal government. Under
the peculiar suffrage condition of
our country all will have a chance
at the question. Therefore it be-
hooves every voter, man and wom-
an, as well as every taxpayer, to
give to all public questions, and
especially those affecting our mu-
nicipal welfare Our people are
always alive during campaign!
In this campaign, this paper makes
special appeal to the Negro vot-
ers of the city of Denver to care
fully inform themselves on the
issues of the campaign and be pre-
pared to vote intelligently and un-
influenced by the political piker
and heller, regardless of the stand
he takes. Our people are increas
ing rapidly in this city. They are
making good as citizens and home
builders. They are each day de-
veloping a public sentiment that
will be a priceless heritage to our
young boys and girls. Our people
must realize that they are a part
of the civic life of the city and
thereby owe something to the up
lift of public morals and good citl-
zenship. Every good citizen is IN
terested in the growth of Denver.
Likewise they are interested in its
continued prosperity and are will
ing to help. This can be done by
standing with those who stand for
a greater Denver. Standing with
those who have made the city,
county and state. You will get
your reward.

bles will be child's play compared
with the revolt of Negro voters in
the West when the general roll is
called. Roosevelt s return from
Africa will not help. If the adj
ministration advisers don't think
so, Just come out through the West
and see few insurgent ghosts that
escaped the eagle eye of Congress

tinent to ask if the Republican
party can sacrifice the Negro vote.

NEGRO DEATH RATE BIG

The death rate among the Ne
groes in this country is far in ex-
cess of that of the whites. And
that, too, contrary to the fact that
before the war the death rate
among Negroes was less than that
among the whites. The death rate
of the colored population Der thous-
and for 1900 was 1916, while that
of the whites was 17.3. The NOR
tality in country districts is less
for both races, but even here the
death rate among colored people
is in excess of that of white people,
being Is per cent for the former
and 15.4 for the latter. The great
est enemy of the Negro is consump-
ton, there being for 1900, 4S5
for every 100000 Negroes. In
the tabulations of deaths from
consumption the Negroes far ex-
ceed the whites. In Boston the
death rate among whites from
consumption was 37S.9 per hun
dred thousand, against 1923
among Negroes. These figures of
Boston show the relative death
late from consumption also in New
York, Baltimore, Philadelphia
and the District of Columbia

Thirty-Eighth Annual Meet
ing of the Financial
Board of A. M. E.
Church.

Washington, D. G., April 90
The thirty eighth annual meeting
of the financial board of the Afri-
can Methodist Episcopal Church
was held here today. The annual
report of the financial secretary,
Rev. DR.. John Hurst showed that
the department raised the largest
sum in its history $16S,54O.2
which is an increase of $16,o79.91
over last year. OF this money ten
per cent. (19,S54 O3) was turned ov'
er to the Board of Church Exten'
sion; thirty.six per cent. (SIl,4i4.-
49) retained by the various an
nual conferences for the support
of superannuated ministers, widows
orphans, etc, and the remainder,
1891, 1928. 81, kept in the general
church treasury for the payment
of the salaries of the bishops. gen.
eral officers, and other general
needs of the denomination. Bish-
op A. Grant, who has been chair
man of the board for the past six
years, presided.

Washington, d. c., April ia
report published in one of the
dailies during the week has caused
quite a stir, and as President Taft
is considered an uncertain quanti-
ty people hardly know whether
there is any just grounds for the
trutnfulness of the story. 1t, how
ever, says in substance, that Pres
ident Taft is likely to appoint II
white man to the position of regis
ter of the Treasury. Just now
the position of register of the
Treasury is held by William T..
Vernon, of Kansas. He will re-
tire in June. For his position
several prominent colored men are
aspirants. One of them is j. Q.
Napier, of Nashville, who is a right
hand man to Booker Il. Washing

UP TO THE PEOPLE.

The conventions are over. The
coming election in May puts the
real questions and issues of the
present campaign up to the people
for final settlement This has no
2 doubt been one of the hottest po-
litical contests ever waged in Den
yer. More new and serious ques-
tions touching public welfare have
been injected into the campaign.
Many of these questions have been
thrust in at this time for the pur
pose of obscuring the real and most
important issue up for settlement.
The Colorado Statesman has care
fully endeavored to keep the main
issue before its readers. The
granting of the water franchise
asked for by the Denver Union
Water Company is the all import
ant matter. We have very care
fully and fully outlined the vari-
Gus features of the water fran
chise and believe it's simplicity rem
ders its understanding easy for all.
The water company very plainly
and boldly asks for the franchise
and plainly states what it will do
in return. Over against the fran
chise is municipal ownership OPP
position composed of some OF the
most violent reformers the West
has ever known. If one carefully
follows the career of these reform
ers during the campaign, they are
early impressed with the seeming
hollowness of their vaunted patr1-
otism. With a desperation worthy
better cause they have fought
fiercely. retreating only as their IS
sertions have been exploded. InEo
the campaign has been thrust the
initiative. the recall, the referen-
dunn. and number of charter
amendments, calculated to catch
the unsophisticated rather than to
benefit a waiting public. These
things, all good in themselves, have
been thrust in at very lnoppor-
tune time by gang OF political re-
formers anxious to get chance at
the public funds. Then, as II to
further obscure the real issue,
comes the "wet and dry" cam
paign. This brings practically all
the issues up to date. just what
the people will do is problem
The question is up to them In
the past the American voter has
finally worked out the right answer
+o the problem. They can be trust
ed again.

Havana, Cuba, April 25.-Great
rivalry has cropped out between
the three branches of the police
of Cuba in arresting Negroes i'm
plicated in the Negro political
party upheaval. Tue secret po-
lice have arrested twenty-five in
various parts of the island; the
judicial police have made thirty
five arrests and the municipal po-
lice have arrested three. General
Estenoge, head of the Negro party
whose arrest was ordered by Pres
ident Gomez and his advisors, is
sued a statement last night in
which lie declares that in his
speeches he has only been advanc-
ing the interests of the Negro race
and the colored Independent party.
The pretext of the judicial police
that they are arresting Negroes
after the discovery of a plot to
seize the rural police stations is
not taken seriously.

TIMELY TOPICS.

Thanks, gentler reader, but | can't
afford to get mixed up in any argu
nents as to which is the best breed.
OF course | have an opinion on the
subject and l am going to exercise
my proud prerogatlve to keep it to
myself. But | think | may say, with
out giving ofense to any one, that
believe the best breed for any man to
keep is the breed that he can make
the most money out of.
After giving consideration to hard
luck Matching story from a Belling
ham subscriber | have reached the
conclusion that the eggs we're not
sufficiently aired outside the machine.
One third of the fertile eggs failed to
hatch and were found to contain
chicks that had died in the shell and
as the eggs received only from five to
ten minutes airing each day, while in
other respects the hatch appears to
have been properly conducted, it
would seem to be squarely up to this
want of proper cooling and airing.
Fifteen minutes once day at first,
increasing as hatch progresses until
during the third week the eggs are
aired twice day, fifteen minutes in
the morning and thirty minutes in
the afternoon or evening, is about
the right thing. Experiments have
shown that incubation can be sus
pended for several hours without
damage to the eggs. am getting to be
a sort of a fresh air crank | guess but
l have reason for it. We are getting
better patches than ever before at my
place this year and are airing the
eggs more thar ever.

HELP PROF. DRYDEN

Why don't some of the so-called
poultry papers take little time off
from their show reports, score cards
VS.. comparison controversies, Rhode
Island Red color squabbles and other
matters about as important to the
plain every day poultryman as a
treatise on the orbit of Hallev's comet
and do something to help along the
laying contest that Prof. Dryden has
offered to conduct at the Corvallis EX-
pertinent Station, provided sufficient
interest can be aroused to insure a
fair number OF entries? laying con-
test on the lines proposed, lasting for
a full year and all the birds working
under equal conditions would be of
inestimable value to the farmers of
the northwest for it would show them
what breds lay the best and what
breeders really do possess heavy lay
ing strains of fowls and the breeder
who has good birds has nothing to
fear from results Of such contest.
