The Colorado statesman., 1911-10-07

Prof w. Z. Dubois not only gives
a fine editorial on THE First Univer-
sal Congress" in this months issue OF
The Crisis, but also writes a splendid
account of the meeting In the same
issue. Says The Crisis on the object
of the meeting:
What after all was the object OF
assembling a congress of this charac-
ter? To many people 1t seemed Wis
ionary scheme; what practical out
come could there be? The executive
committee stated the purpose or the
congress succintly: The object OF the
congress will be to discuss. In the
light of science and the modern con-
science, the general relations subsist-
ing between the peoples of the west
and those of the east, between So
called white and so-called colored peo-
pies, with a view to encouraging De-
tween them fuller understanding,
the most friendly. feelings, and
heartier cooperation Lord Weardale
in his introduction to the volume OF
papers has enlarged upon this idea;
To those who regard the furtherance
of international good will and peace
az the highest OF all human interests,
the occasion of the. first universal
races congress opens vista OF al
most boundless promise
mo impartial student of history can
deny that in the case Of nearly all re-
corded wars, whatever the ostensible
reasons assigned. the underlying cause
Of conflict has been the existence OF
race notwithstanding the word race
In its broad and popular acceptaton-
which particular circumstances, often
in themselves of trivial moment. have
famed into flame"
The writer continued further with
several other paragraphs and spoke OF
the personnel of the meeting and USED
extracts from papers read by seven
teen of the most highly educated and
scholarly men In attendance.
We give a resume of one of the most
important papers:
"Dr. w E. B. Dubois, United States.

them descend from former slaves.

dispositions and by custom. They are
well disposed toward family life. in SO
far as they are enabled to enjoy 1t,
and to education. They have churches
of their own. About two hundred
thousand of them are farmers, and
fifty thousand are engaged in COM
merce and the liberal professions.
Seventy-five per cent of the negroes
live in the south. One theory pro-
poses that they should emancipate
themselves by acquiring wealth. but 1t
would seem that intellectual emancipa-
ton should proceed hand in hand with
economic independence"
Sir Harry Johnson. of England, stat
ed that the physical difference from
the white was merely a question of
taste He spoke highly of the negro's
ability and his progress in various
walks
Great good is hoped will be the re-
suit of such meeting. Those con-
nected with the gathering claim it will
promote cordial relations among all
divisions of mankind, void of color or
prejudice. Let us hope that all races
are better off by the meeting.

The masses do not know. nor even
have an idea what the men whom they
have put in front of the work. along
the different lines, have to undergo.
If they did they would be more con-
siderate in their criticism of them. A
great many of the people think that
the men who are always on the road
as representatives of the race are hav-
ing a good time, but If those same
people who have that idea were put
on the road. or put in the lead for just
one month, they would change their
minds as to the good time that the
leaders have.-Helena Interstate Re-

The negro must recognize and ap-
preciate the favors which come to
him, and stand with the m n. or men,
who stand by him. All men in the
white race are not enemies to the ne
gro. There are thousands of persons
of the Caucasian race who sincerely
and genuinely wish us well. and when
we find them we should show by our
attitude that we appreciate their kind
ness. You should patronize the man
in business who shows by his acts
that he desires you to succeed. and
return in every way you can the
favors which the charitably disposed
show you. He that would have
friends must show himself friendly"

The Colorado statesman., 1911-10-07

There are goodly number of ne
groes in town who should be on the
farm; but they cannot go unless they
are backed by the moneyed men of
this city. Charleston merchants and
business men have just begun in the
last one or two years to put out their
money. They are buying real estate
and selling 1t out to negroes. This
is indeed commendable on their part.
The next step will be the farm, and
we do not care how quickly 1t comes.

A new and sinister interest begins to attach to the girl who goes wrong while she is still a child Remember that those girls in the report of the Chicago detention home were all under 16. Some of them were as young as 10. 4g
 Before the problem of the delinouent boy the juvenile court is confident and unafraid. Before the problem of the de- linquent girl 1t simply stands aghast. All that the judges and probation officers have learned about the delinquent girl in ten years of experience is that she is greater menace to society than they ever imagined, and that the .old-fashioned theories of reforming her are wrong.

 Inevitably there will come time when 1t will be known that personal in1- morality of the masculine half of the world is exactly as much of social dam ger as the personal immortality of the feminine half.

 How shall we keep the boys on the fsrm?'' By what means may the drift of people from the rural regions and their concentration in the cities be dimin- ished?" The automobile Is likely to give a response to these questions which will be of advantage to both localities. In the past five years the automobile has done more for the improvement of the roads of the country than all the other agencies did in all the years in which they have been at work. It has helped tc bring the farmers into close connection with the great trade centers.

 In the sparsely settled regions. not touched by street cars. the advantages of the automobile are especially obvious. It carries several times the load which can be drawn by horses, and 1t travels at several times the speed. It can be of immense aid to the farmers. As there ere more than 6.OO00oo farms in tho country and more than 100000 horse drawn vehicles the opportunities for the extension of the field of the automobile are practically limitIess.

She ceases to be like other girls. She Is marred for life. Unless she can be isolated in some way, she is bound to offend again.
 ITO dispose of an errlng girl by ostra- cising her Is exactly as dangerous as to dispose of typhoid fever germs by throwing them into public reservoir. The revenge of the outcast girl reaps up on society is far more terrible than an epidemic of typhoid. Rather than allow the physical as well as the moral health of the community to be endangered, we must find means of changing the public mind as to the real status of the girl who goes wrong. We must show soci- tty that her condition Is by no means

Very few girls are guilty of theft. arson, ma licious mischief, disorderly conduct. or any of the other offenses which seem to tempt boys. Girls are instinctive respect CTS of law and order. The vast majority of girls brought into the juvenile court are arrested for fault which in boy s case is not punished
 Viewed from a standpoint of simple justice, this, of course, Is grotesquely unfair. From the standpoint of cold science. it is ridiculously inadequate to remedy the evil at which it strikes But society has not reached an ethical plano where simple justice is entirely compre- hensible.

JUDGES BAFFLED
 BY MAYNARD GIRLS

Rheta Childe Dorr, whose articles on sociological subjects have attracted much attention, writes in the January Hamp- tons magazine on the subject of the way ward girl.
 Before the problem of the wayward girl she says, 'the juvenile court stands aghast.' To show what a problem this is. she quotes from the figures obtained by pr. James A. Britton, physician of the detention home in Chicago. Dr. Britton during 1909 examined 3s09 children for diseases born of vice. Of these 369 were girls, and one in three of the girls was found to be suffering from dangerous morality.
 This state of affairs is not unique."

CANDY FOR THE
LITTLE FOLK

A SMALL amount of pure, wholesome
candy is good for the little folk,
and when made at home from tested
is not injurious:
Popcorn Candy.-Make common
moIasses candy. Grind nicely popped
corn in a coffee mill or meat chopper,
and when the candy is ready to be
taken from the fire stir in as much OF
the ground corn as the strip will hold
Pour into a buttered tin and when
slightly cool mark off in squares.
Pulled Candy.-Take a pound OF
granulated sugar and about cup ana
third of boiling water. Boil until
quite thick and test in ice water. Then
add one quart of New Orleans mo-
| lasses, one tablespoonful of butter and
| two tablespoonfuls of vinegar and boil
until the mixture will harden IN ice
water. Stir in a small half teaspoon
| full of soda and then pour into butter
ed tins to cool. When it can be han
died grease the hands with butter OF
moisten them with ice water and pull
| the candy into long white strips. Cut
| some in finger lengths. Braid it or cut
in inch lengths and twist up in colored
oiled papers.
j Apples on Stick.-These give all day
pleasure to any candy loving child
Choose small tart apples that will not
cook soft quickly. Stick a wooder

them by resting the stick close to tx
apples, on the edge of the pan, or i

deep pan and put the sticks through
the wires and let the apples cool.
Tao tac-Put one cupful of granu

spoonful of butter and three table
spoonfuls of water. Boil until it al

are the colors for each month:
The girl who was born In January
should wear green.
The February girl may choose all
shades of pink 'fs,
Purple is for the March girl She

cheerful with purple things about her.
The April daughter can wear red, and
especially rose red.
The special color for May is blue,
choose jewelry and clothes Of light
tints of blue. This girl is supposed to
be sensitive.
Bronze green is for the June girl.
which is apt to make her = little mel

Light red is the color for July and
deep blue for the girl born in August.
Yellow is for the girl born in Sep

moved her she added novel touch,
and while the design displayed no regu-
larity it was perfectly harmonious in
tone After the work was finished it
was applied to a long tunic which had
been previously cut the required

sheaths, one of deep copper colored
satin, one of nile green and one Of
black velvet.
