The Irish potato growers of Hastings
having completed the digging and ship
ping of their potatoe crop, number
of them have turned their attention to
the culture of cotton, which, it is be-
lieved, will in future years make pro-
fitable auxiliary crop. In making an
in Investigation as to the most promising
crops to grow during the summer to
alternate with the Irish potato crop in
the winter months, the Hastings far
mers were advised to inaugurate the
culture of cotton. Being enterprising
and thrifty, and they have accepted the
suggestion and now over 200 acres OF
land in Hastings is planted in Sea Island
and other choice varieties of cotton,
with most promising success.

ton by referring to it in the most
complimentary way in his recent
message. 1t is believed that the
bill introduced into Congress will
pass early in the present session.
In order to insure the success of
the exposition, it is important that
we proceed carefully and system
atically. No hasty, ill-considered
plan will command the respect and
confidence of the American people.
l wish to say in this same con-
nection that it is important that
the race be patient while these
plans are maturing. In the end it
will be found that every element
of the race will receive proper rec
ognition and be given an oppor-
tunity to take part in the exposi-
ton. So far as the selection of in
dividuals to take the leadership of
the matter is concerned, nothing
definite has been done; only pre-
liminary committees have been Sc
lected with a view of getting mat
ters in shape to present to the Pres
ident. After the passage OF the
bill now before Congress and the
appointment of the commission by
the President. there will be plenty
of time for all organizations, de-
nominations and institutions to re-
ceive proper recognition, and | am
sure that this will be done.
Nothing can be gained, but
much lost, by any attempt to take
short cuts and by doing those
things that call attention to little
side issues that have no possible
chance to succeed. We need in this
matter the united effort of all ele-
ments of the race, and the evidence
so far points to the fact that the
race is more united on this project
than it has ever been on any. other
of similar magnitude, and we hope
that this union of the masses OF
the people will continue.
wish also to add that most care
full consideration, before any de-
cision is reached, will be given to
the claims of every city or locality
that is interested in having the
proposed exposition located in its
midst.
Other information as progress Is
made from time to time will be
given.

COMMUNICATION FROM
DIR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON.
pecial to Colorado Statesman

Especial to Colorado Statesman:
i have received so many letters
recently regarding the proposed
celebration in the year 1913 of the
fiftieth anniversary of the freedom
of the American Negro that | deem
it wise to ask you to permit me to
use your columns in making some
reply to these letters rather than
in trying to answer each one indi-
vidually.
Attention has already been
called to the Importance of some
kind of a celebration to take the
form of an exposition or something
else. OF course, in order to have
such an exposition, it is of the first
Importance that it have the recog-
milton and support of the United
States Government, as well as that
of as many states as possible, for
without the influence and help OF
the central government it would
hardly be possible to have an ex-
position that would reflect credit
upon our race.
Having all this in mind, the
whole matter of such an exposition
was carefully put before the Pres
ident of the United States, and
after considering the whole subject
with great care, manifesting the
deepest interest, it was thought
best. by President Taft and others
who consulted with him that, in
order to secure the confidence and
support. of the American people,
that the whole matter ought to be
taken up in dignified, orderly
way and that this could best be ac-
complished through the appoint
ment of a preliminary and tempo
rary commission by the President,
authorized by Congress, such com
mission to be composed OF men OF
such ripe and wide experience and
reputation that their recommenda-
tions would carry weight. 1t would
be the purpose of such commls-
sion to study carefully the whole
subject, and if deemed wise to rec
ommend the holding Of such an
exposition, to map out general
and comprehensive scheme for
same. This would prove the basis
for an appeal to Congress and to
state Legislatures and philan-
thropic individuals for such sup
port as would create an exposition
that would command the respect
and confidence of the world.
Accordingly, bill has been pre-
pared and introduced into both the
House of Representatives and the
United States Senate, carrying out
the suggestion of providing for the
appointment of commission.
President Taft further manifested
his interest in the proposed exposi-

contended against the right of the
city to build new plant to wreck
that company. He won his case.
Former Governor Charles S. Thorn

Denver against the Denver Union Wa
ter Company, and probably will, on

the city of Denver to build new
plant and wreck the company doing
business here.
How can he win that case? The
facts are = identical with those on
which he did win, but he is on the op-
posite side.
Sen. Jno A. Rush, author of the Rush
BILL and of the famous correspondence
that pointed out to Eastern capitalists
an easy way to clean up from $1,000
600 to S5,O00,O 900 during the Tramway
franchise agitation, opposed Thomas
He appeared for the city of Glenwood
Springs. He lost his case.
In the event of legal proceedings
over the right of Denver to do what
the court says Glenwood Springs can
not do, he probably will be with
Thomas. For once John may be con-
sistent.
Thomas has already turned his
somersault in the case, and it was no
surprise to anyone who has watched
the career of the famous legal and
political acrobat.
Last Sunday Senator Patterson,
| frightened at the threatened disar-
rangement of his plan to defeat the
Denver Union Water Company, in
duced the former governor to prepare
| a lengthy letter setting forth the dis
similarity between the Denver and
Glenwood cases, which he published
under glaring headlines on the first
page of the Rocky Mountain News.
Thomas letter, however, did not
| produce the desired effect, for the for
mer governor admitted, perhaps unin-
tentionally, exactly what he was try
| ing TO Qeny ne ouiu III Ps'i
| Under the decision of the United
| States Circuit Court of Appeals, city
having the option to purchase water
system must, if it notifies the owner
that it will act under the option,
thereafter proceed under the contract
which becomes absolute and irrevoc-
| able from the moment notice is given.
Hence the town of Glenwood Springs
having so acted, must secure it's plant
, by purchase or condemnation OF the
existing one and not by building an
! other. This is practically the begin
ming and the end of the pending con-
troversy as l understand 1t.
"If Denver next April shall elect 10
exercise it's option under Ordinance
No. A of 1890, the Glenwood case
would be authority with others that
the contract to purchase would then
be absolute and must be performed.
Until such action is here taken, the
conditions are not at all parallel.

so anxious to protect Special Counsel
