New York, Feb. 2.-The New Jer.
sey side Of the Hudson river was to-
day the center of activity in the at
tempt to find out why food prices are
high. The investigating body was the
Hudson county grand jury which con-
tinued it's probing into the cold stor-
age of the big packing companies and
other concerns which maintain ex-
tensive warehouses in Jersey :; City.
The jurymen examined numerous wit
nesses in an effort to learn what
quantities Of food stuffs are stored
in the various plants and whether
there is any understanding among the
firms to hold the necessaries of life
to regulate the supply and get the
highest prices possible. Cold stor-
age seems to be the subject upon
which the investigation of the high
cost of living is being forced by the
prober in the metropolitan territory
generally.
Meat prices are again on the up
ward trend. A third of q cent is

THE COLOR LINE
AMONG NEGROES

When the Negro reaches the
point where the color of the skin
is,u bar to or cause of preferment,
he is the object of contempt, rather
than pity.
The Colored Methodist Episco-
pal church composed of the decen-
dants of the Negro members of the
Methodist Episcopal church South
(white), are at odds and ends over
the question of the color of the
bishops to be elected at the COM
ing quadrennial conference. On
the bench of bishops there is now
bnt one of the dark hue, all the
others being mulattoes, quadroons
or octoroons. The issue which
confronts the delegates is, to vote
for black or "yaller' man.
Could the discussion of any 9TH
er quest stion reflect more disgrace
upon the Negro people of this
country than one upon which the
colored Methodists are threatened
with disintegation? One could,
by an extraordinary stretch OF the
imagination conceive secular or.
gapization seriously considering
the color line-and then he would
do violence to his manhood-but
he thought of a church built upon
the teachings of the Son OF God,
going so far astray from its cardi-
nal principles, brings him up with
a shock dangerous to his mentality.
Even if they can forget the civil
and political restrictions which
hedge us round about on account
of our color, we do not see how our
churchmen can square the dlctum
of the Brotherhood of man with
any such tomfoolery.- Advocate,
Charleston, w. Va.

THEFIFTIETH
ANNIVERSARY
Urge Your Senators and Congressman to Support and Vote
for Liberal Appropriation for the Celebration of the
Fiftieth Anniversary of Emancipation Vardaman
Defeated by Leroy Percy for United States
Senator. Beautify Our Homes

The former in his position as
United States Senator has thrown
his weight always against any SEN
ti1nent or public movement caleulat-
ed to rebound to the interest of our
people. Dixon as preacher and
writer of prolific proportions has
painted the Negro as a hideous
monster far overshadowing the gen.
tie, faithful creature pictured by
Harriet Beecher Stowe. Vardaman
has been a political red shirt. He
has the vitral of Tillman and the
eloquence of Dixon, supplemented
with concentrated hatred of the ele-
ments responsible for his elevation.
Yet in the face of such oppres-
sion the Negro has been coming by
leaps. In Mississippi he has been
the greatest evidence of material
progress. All over tne land inc
Negro has come up, despite the
heavy opposition. Age and disease
are moving Tillman into justly
merited oblivion. A dramatised
version of the Clansman is but the
faint echo of the departing steps
of Dixon. Vardaman says he will
come back. He was strong can
didate in the senatorial fight and
the salvation of conservative Miss
issippi will depend on the good
work of Senator Percy 1t Is to be
hoped that the southern chapter OF
vituperation and hatred is closed,
and that better day for all good
citizens has come.

THE MAYOR SPEAKS.

Now that the question OF holding
a special election seems to have
been definitely settled, Mayor Speer
comes back to the always interest
ing beautiful Denver. " In his
recent address before the Y. M. G.
A. he carefully outlined many
things for the beautifying OF our
city. In his appeal for a better
and more beautiful city, he made
plain that all classes could and
should lend hand. The movement
for more parks and handsomer
boulevards must be backed up by
better lawns and neater homes. Our
city being comparatively new Is not
cursed with the collection of shacks
so often seen in other towns. But
there is always something to do
about our homes to make them more
attractive to the eye of the strang-
er within our gates and more COM
Portable to those who live there.

VARDAMAN DEFEATED.

jackson, Miss, Feb. % The
long Legislature deadlock over the
candidacy of ex-Gov. James K
Vardaman and the most signifi-
cant political fight waged in Miss
issippi in years came to a close
here Tuesday, in the election of
Leroy Percy of Geeenville, lawyer
and planter, as United States SEN
ator to succeed the late Senator A.
j. McLaurin. The struggle was
between the conservative old FAM
lily class as represented by the
successful candidate and the radi-
cal Negro hating class under the
leadership of Mississippi's greatest
tirebrand.
Mr.. Percy had majority of five
votes in joint legislation causus
over ex- Gov. Vardaman. The re-
suit came on the fifty-eighth bal
lot of the causus and was brought
about through process of elimi-

KEEP RACES APART

New Orleans, La.-During the
recent session of the Louisiana A..
M. E. Conference, held in this
city, Bishop Hampton advised the
two races to keep separate, stating
in part:
81 appeal to every Negro in the
land, led on by your ministers oil
the gospel to SO stand in the full
fillment of his obligation, in the
keeping of the letter and the spirit
of the law, of both God and man,
that the mob shall have no excuse
to wrech vengeance upon my peo.
pie. I appeal to every Negro in
the land to keep inviolate those
lines of separation between the
races in public and in private, SO
that the mobs will have no excuse
to wreak its vengeance upon my
race. I appeal to every Negro in
the land, North, South, East and
West, to turn his face from seek
ing any kind of commerce by law
or by force with the females of the
other race, so that the mob shall
have no excuse to wreak vengeance
upon my race.
Il believe that there is a future
for my people, but it must be
through separation along social
lines. | do not seek admission
into the parlor of any white man,
nor do l invite him into my parlor
10 a social way. l want only for
my people protection under the
law. and we will make our own So
cial circles, will entertain our own
men and women and will build up
our race.-Jackson Gazette.

which had prevailed seven weeks.
When the caucus met Tuesday
withdrawals of the several candi-
dates having the fewer votes came
fast Congressman Adam Byrd,
John Byrd, John Kyle, and FL. H.
Street followed each other out, and
the struggle narrowed down to the
two leading contestants.
The votes controlled by those
candidates vino withdrew went al
most solidly to Percy, giving him
81 votes to 80 for Vardaman on
the first ballot.

vARDAMAN'S DEFEAT.

Every Negro in America expert
enced genuine feelings of pleasure
in the defeat of Governor Varda-
man of Mississippi for the United
States Senate. When Senator Cor
don stood up in the Senate a few
days ago and made a farewell adj
dress, after serving sixty days as
the successor of Senator McLauren,
he remarked the passing OF the
chivalric South in whom the prln-
ciples of cesession were as sacred as
the tenets of their religious belief.
He was the last of a vanished type.
The introduction of Senator Percy
marked the long hoped for triumph
of conservatism over race hatred
and bourbonism gone wild. For
many years the South has been
cursed by Vardaman, Tillman ana
Dixon. Their elevation to. leader
shin was the direct result OF the
shotgun polling, inaugurated by ez-
asperated rebel leaders. The policy
these leaders have advocated has
NOT alone affected the Negro, but
it has helped to retard the CONNER
cial development of the South. Our
neople have suffered most because
thew are the weaker. Tillman and
Dixon have seized upon every oc-
casion to aggravate public sentl-
ment against the Negro.

THE EXPOSITION.

THE EXPOSITION.
DIR. Booker Washington is send
| ing out appeal to the people OF
the various states, urging them to
write their Senators and Congress
men asking them to support and
vote for liberal appropriation for
the celebration of the Fiftieth An
niversary of Emancipation. This
has for its prime object the gather
ing together from all parts OF the
world evidences of Negro energy,
thrift and ability. To carry out
the plans of those who have the
movement in charge will entail the
expenditure of a large sum OF
money. In all previous exposl-
tions the general government has
been decidedly generous in its ap-
preparations. However, we must
convince all our representatives
that we desire the exposition, and
we are interested in making 1t a
success. Every Negro in the West
will be benefited and he should lose
no time convincing his Congress
man and Senator.

Holly Springs, Miss, Feb. 22.-
Some time ago Anderw Carne-
gle made conditional offer of
$25, 900 to the Mississippi Indus
trial College, established at this
place by Bishop Cottrell, to take
the place of the school which ex-
Gov. Vardaman failed by refusal
to appropriate money for its main
tenance. In one year the Negroes
have raised $4,000 toward the
amount required before being able
to secuIe Mr. Carnegie's gift.
The Negroes of this State have
given more than $4,000 already
for this college, and they are fully
alive to the necessity of continu-
ing to appropriate money for the
education of their children.
