The Birmingham Reporter is
making magnificent fight against
the ''jim-crow" theaters in Alaba-
mas principal city, and is justly
condemning the colored people
who pataonize them and pay first
class prices for the questionable
psivilege of climbing up a dark
stairway in an alley to get a seat
in the peanut gallery" The col
ored people of Birmingham should
make a special settlement of their
amusement problem as the colored
people of Washington, New Or
leans and other Negro centers are
doing-by providing theaters of
their own, where they may march
in through the front door without

COLORADO RESOURCES.

Recently Denverites and all the
world have enjoyed the rare treat
of seeing magnificent collection
of the products of the state. The
Colorado Statesman has had much
to say during the past year con-
cerning the splendid opportunities
in an agricultural way for our peo-
pie. And the late display of fruit
and apples held in Denver cannot
but convince the most skeptical OF
the chance out in the West. In the
week lust closed the Western Live
Stock Association has been holding
forth at the stockyards. Here have
been gathered the best of our cat
tie. horses, hogs and sheep from all
parts of Colorado and the world.
Here have gathered the farmers
and stock raisers, eager to gather
information as to how best to raise
stock profitably. By reason OF our
peculiar methods of making a llv-
ing, we seem to have little, if any
interest in exhibitions of any char
acter. Our people must learn that
in this class of business lies the
foundation of great wealth. The
time has come when we must find
something to do besides wait for
ga lob" in town. The foreigners
come TO America with almost moth
ing. They settle on small tracts OF
land and by industry and frugality
in few years become wealthy and
influential. The fruit belt OF Colo.
RADIO as well as the potato and
sugar beet districts, contain many
acres of land which can be pur-
chased in a reasonable manner. We
want to see more Negro farmers IN
Colorado-men who will produce
something, men who will have
something to exhibit alongside the
Swede, the Italian and German. we
are paying an enormous price Tor
our foodstuffs and provisions be-
cause of the lack of home produc-
ton, and much that is shipped INTO
Colorado can be raised within the
state. Here is a golden chance 1or
the Negro who feels that he wants
to be something in the world lie
can find no better opportunity TO
make money and a great name than
to grub the gold from the soil. IL

According to the report of the
auditor of public accounts, just
made public. Virginia Negroes own
3,500,000 in personal and real
property. Richmond comes first
in this estimate, Norfolk second
and Petersburg third. Norfolk
county leads the counties the next
four in order being Halifax, South
Hampton, Mecklenburg and Bruins
wick. Buchanan and Dickerson
counties are shown by the latest
census to have practically no Ne
gro population, a most unusual
condition. The personal property
owned by the Negroes of Virginia
is aoout one twenty-second of the
total value of the assessed proper
ty. There are eight banks and
five insurance companies in Virgin
ia owned by Negroes.

How 1t Was Done

When this country was first
discovered it was in the posses
sion of The Indian or red man,
but our forefathers soon so ar
ranged matters as to possess
themselves of a portion of the
public land, and in time, to be-
come the exclusive owners, but
being of a rowing disposition,
they soon became a rowing mass
of humanity and like the Israe-
lites, started out to find a new
land. From New England they
wendell their way westward,
along the Allegahnay mountain
over into Ohio, Indiana and

In spite Of the earnest recon

In spite Of the earnest recon
mendations twice made by the
secretary of the navy, congress
has, so far, failed to grant an
appropriation to complete the
Crypt in the chapel of the ma
val academy as a permanent
resting place for the body of
John Paul Jones. 1t rests to-
day on two ordinary wooden
saw horses behind the stairs in
one of the academy buildings.
Paul Jones once said: ""That
flag and | are twins, born at
the same hour in the want of
destiny. The one flies proud
ly at the peak, the other rests
on two wooden saw-horses I'M
derneath the stairs in Brancoft
Hall.
1t remains for some patriot
in the House of Representatives
to make its members under
stand that it is a national shame
that the founder of the Ameri-
can navy has not what is ac-
corded to every decent citizen
the right to final resting place.

Illinois and Michigan, stopping
for a short time to open a claim
then waiting for some emigrant
or fastener to come along and
buy out their claim and permit
them to travel on West, this
vast western world has been
populated by this new race of
white men, but with a Western
feeling. they have ever been on
the move. A few years ago
families from the middle states
and New England, with the
''prairie schooner" as they were
called, came West, and with all
the danger of Indian savagery
before them plunged into the
wilds of the Western world to
find a home, and soon the
Rockies" were alive with the
mine hn ai@s and the cattle
raisers, aai lie plains covered
with growing grain and domes-
tic animals, but the spirit of go,
was prominent in the minds of
the emigrant, and they sold to
the first purchaser who offerd a
price for their claim, and went
on further West, until Califor-
mia, Oregon, Idaho, Montana
and Washington became the
stopping place, AMI now these
states are densely populated,
and the question is: Where can
we go next%
We have reached the Pacific
Ocean and are now looking for
the islands of the sea to possess.
Every generation finds new
citizenship, and ever state a
new population, so the men
who first came to Iowa are now

every page of our history and

1t is so much easier to go west
now than in the early days of

their old homes in Iowa, but to
go is a part of our natures, and

Points Regarding The Census

The census begins April Is
and must be completed in
thirty days.
The enumerators will wear a
badge inscribed Omitted States
Census, 1910"
The law requires every adult
person to furnish the prescribed
information, but also provides
that it shall be treated conf
dentially, so that no injury can
come to any person from an
lswering the questions.
The Census Bureau, prior to
April Is, will distribute to
every farm owner and tenant
in this state a blank or sched-
ule containing the Census ques.
lions relative to farm opera
tions and equipment. This
should be filled up, if possible,
not later thar '9e n ming of
April Is, bl, + aese, : has
been unable to n..ll i. u ~ .;l.t
time, he should do it as soon 4 f.
forwards as he can.
People who do not speak En-
| glish or who do not understand
the schedule completely should
get help from others in filling
III up.
The President has issued a
proclamation, calling on all
citizens to cooperate with the
Nais1s and assuring them that
1t HAS nothing to do with taxa
tion, army or jury service, COM
pulsory school attendance, reg
ulation of immigration, or en-
forcement of any law, and that
no one can be injured by an
swering the inquiries.
1t is Of the utmost import
ance that the farm census of
this state be complete and cor
rect.
Therefore every farm owner
md tenant should promptly,
fully, and accurately fill up the
"Advance Farm Schedule" and
carefully preserve it for emu
merator when he calls.

PROFITABLE STOCK
$ DR.. David Roberts, Wis
consin State Veterinar-
ian, l0O0=7-S

We are daily coming in con-
tact with the products of the
dairy COW in one form or an
other, thus it is to the interest
of the owner of the dairy breed
of cattle to carefully select
animals when laying a founda-
ton for his herd, which will
yield him the best profit, not
selecting animals which are
from a good healthy stock but
animals which are good profit
producers, or in other words,
that yield a flow Of milk, con-
sufficient butter fat, to war
rant the animal worth the
while of keeping upon the
premises.
While it is always essential
that ANNALS be well fed and
cared for, it is oftentimes
found that the animal produc-
ing the largest amount of milk
is not necessarily the animal
which devours the most feed
and for this reason the owner
should learn the temperament
OF each individual animal and
feed it accordingly, in this way
realizing profits which might
otherwise be wasted.

The New Street Lights are on

Were you down town Satur-
day night? Thought you were
in a metropolitan city, didn't
you? And so Erie street looked
under the new lighting system.
Saturday night, for the first
time, the Electric Light Co.,
turned on the current in our
street lights and such a sur
prise as it was. They have in
stalled about one hundred and
fifty of the new 40 c. p. lungs
ten street lights and a prettier
effect cannot be imagined. Each
block on Erie street has four of
these lights on each side ard
by so distributing the lights, an
even glow is obtained the full
length of the street The alleys
also have a light at each inter-
section so that a policeman can
distinguish a man in hiding at
a block distance. The cost to
the city is about the same but
the good effect cannot be esti-
mated in mere dollars and cents
The business men have de-
cided that we'll lighted streets
pay, as several of them stated
this morning that trade was
better and brisker Saturday
night than it has been for
many moons. We have things
started, lets keep them going.
If the merchants will enstall
lights in front of their business
places we will have a street Sc
cond to none-not excepting
the largest cities.
