ALBUQUERQUE NEWS.

New Mexico has just closed one OF
the most important and interesting
elections ever held in this state. Dur
ing the campaign the political issues
were lost sight of and bitter personal
feelings, libel and slander were in
dulged in by partisan newspapers,
which made it mud singing" cam
paign, and through such methods the
Republican candidate for governor
was defeated, but the legislature,
which is the most important branch
of our government, will be Republican
in both houses, which will send two
Republican senators to the senate.
Sorry to say that a few unwise Ne
groes assisted the Democrats, and
they are rejoicing. Let's say to those
Negroes, beware, for they might be
rejoicing at their own funerals.

ORGANIZING REGIMENT IN
THE WRONG WAY
Col. John R. Marshall thinks Men
should first be Enlisted.

Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. 14.-Col.
John r. Marshall of the Eighth
Illinois, whicn is the only regi-
ment in the State National Guard
made up of colored men, from
officers down, has returned from a
trip East, visiting New York,
Washington, and other cities of
interest While in New York
Col. Marshall showed much con-
cern in the proposed colored regi-
ment being organized in that city,
but does not speak encouragingly
of the effort being made by the
Negroes of Manhattan, expressing
the opinion that they are going
about tho work of organizing in
wrong way.
I'm the first place the heads are
app ,inting all the officers without
first filling the various companies
with desirable men" said Col. Mar
shall. "The selection of line Of
fcers is an easy matter compared
with securing men qualified to en-
list as privates. While to date
most of the line officers have been
named, only a small number OF
privates have been accepted.
"The requirements are so string
ent nowadays with reference to
applicants being accepted as men,

dict that they will be fortunate in

applicants pass the examinations

Eighth Illinois was organized dur

1900 were passed on favorably,
and at that time they wanted men
badly. So you can readily under

SUNDAY SCHOOL CONGRESS WILL
MEET AT TUSKEGEE IN 1912.

At a meeting of the boards which
have direct charge of the Sunday
school and young peoples work OF
the National Baptist Convention, held
in this city, it was decided that the
seventh annual session of the Sunday
School Congress should meet at Tus-
kegee Institute, Ala, thereby accept
ing from a vast number of invitations

yention cities of the United States

this meeting, which was held in the
office of the secretary of the National
Baptist Publishing Board and which
was presided over by Rev. j. p. Rob
inson, d. D., of Little Rock, Ark, full
expressions were made concerning
the great success that has crowned
every meeting of this congress move
ment.
Among the places that have enter
tanned the Sunday School Congress
during the past six years have been
New Orleans, Nashville (twice), Jack
sonville, Fla, Atlanta, Ga, and Mer-
idian, Miss, but the indications are
that the Tuskegee entertainment will
be more elaborate and that the meet
ing will be more largely attended
than heretofore. The time of the
meeting has been fixed by the boards
as the first week in June. The meet
ing is to open on the first Wednesday
in June, remaining in session for six
days, which will include Monday OF

Washington, D. C.-Although it has
been the desire of the navy depart
ment to abolish several of the smaller
Southern navy yards, it now seems
possible that the adoption of a new
policy of specialization will result in
the continuance of all the plants in
active service. The idea would be to
have each station cover some partic-
ular station or base of supplies. The
department has decided that hereaf-
ter all torpedo boats and destroyers
shall be re-tubed at the Charleston, S.
c., yard.

the right side of all moral ques-
tious. The Negro knights of
Pythias have spent thousands of
dollars in caring for its widows
and orphans; they have property
valued at nearly a million dollars
they do good in every township.
1t would be a crime to stop them
after years of usefulness. This
order is found in every Negro set
tlement, trying to make men and
women thrifty ard useful citizens
of the country.
The Supreme Lodge with w. S.
Green at its head is doing all that
can be done to make the institu-
ton one to be desired by all right
thinking men. The Grand Lodge
of Tennessee with j. p. Crawford,
Grand Chancellor, is doing the
same thing solar as this state is
concerned. The order has among
its membership bankers, lawyers,
doctors, mechanics, farmers and
the laboring man. 1t boasts of
having men of wealth and brain,
and the very best type of Negro
mankind are among its most ar
dent devotees.
The Negro order does not de-
sire to make itself Objectionable to
any white organization, and to that
end its p.embers are told that they
are separate and apart from. white
lodges, haying no desire to do this
is proverbiatof all Negro Pythians.
Pending a final decision the or
ganization in this state will go
right ahead setting up new lodges
and increasing the membership in
the old ones. 1t cannot be def
nitely said when the case will be
decided, as the Supreme Court of
the United States is behind with
its work and it may be months or
even several years before the case
is reached. In the end if the case
should go against the Negro some
way will be found to continue the
organization under ii different
name.
DIR. A. M. Townsend, Medical
Register, says: "The decision as
given was expected. Through the
dim vista of the present | see yet
a ray of hope. This ray of hope
comes from the fact that the
Georgia case has been resting SO
long in the Supreme Court.
Though it be that these shocks
and reverses have come to us,
somehow, 1 have faith yet in Pyth-
ianism. In the midst of ii all my
heart rejoices when | see that the
face of Pythianism is yet to the
morning, and from reports that

Thousands of dollars paid widows and orphans

The knights of Pythias it is un-
derstood will carry their case to
the United States Supreme Court.
They are not daunted by the Uni
ted States Supreme Court of Ap-
peals, believi ng tbeil course to be
just one, they will secure the
best legal talent available and go
before the court of last resort with
every prospect of winning.
1t will he remembered that dur
my the sitting of the Grand Lodge
in Nashville the white Pythians
sought an injunction from Judge
Allison of the Chancery Court OF
Davidson County, restraining the
Negro Pythians from using the
ritual, wearing the button, pin. in
sigma, or using the name knights
of Pythias."
Able counsel was employed
which, made valiant fight before
the Chancery Court, but Chancellor
Allison's decision was adverse to
the colored Pythians. An appeal
was then taken to the Court of
Civil Appeals, which on last Sat
urday sustained the lower Court.
Thereupon plans are projected to
carry the suit to the United States
Courts. where it will be fought to a
finish.
Georgia had case similar to
their Tennessee brethren. They,
too, employed good lawyers, carry
ing all the states courts only to be
ruled against. Not to be outdone,
these plucky Georgians have their
case at present awaiting adjudica-
ton by the Supreme Court of the
United States.
In West Virginia an attempt was
made to put out of business not
only the Negro Pythians, but all
other orders founded by white
men. This scheme however met
with strong and vehement pro-
test from all the leading Negroes
and many influential white men.
The result was the thing died
aborning.
In Mississippi, the state where
every one thought the Legislature
would gladly embrace the oppor-
tunity to legislate against Negro
secret societies, the law-making
bodies refused to entertain the
question. 1t can be readily seen
from the above that the Negro
Pythians are not dead yet, but
have high hopes of a long and use
full career. This order has done
incalculable good to all communi-
ties where it exists. 1t makes its
membership respect law and au-
thority. It's leaders are always on

Luck tapped upon a cottarge door
A gentle, quiet tap;
And Laziness, who lounged within,
The. Cat upon his lap,
Stretched out his slippers to the fire
And gave a sleepy yawn:
oh, botherl let him knock againl"
He said; but Luck was gone.
Luck tapped again, more family still
Upon another door,
Where Industry was hard at work,
Mending his cottage floor.
The door was opened wide at once
Come in! the worker cried;
And Luck was taken by the hand
And firmly pulled inside.
He still is there wondrous guest
From out whose magic hand
Fortune flows fast but Laziness
Can never understand
How Industry found such a friend
Luck never came my way"

Upon the door that day.

Hadley Greater Than Legislature

Hadley Greater Than Legislature
1t was demonstrated in the SEES
sion of the Missouri legislature just
closed that Governor Hadley exer-
cised more power in law making
than did two-thirds of the two de-
Lucrative bodies, 1t would now
appear as though Governor Hadley
was the governor, the senate and
house and in fact the whole law
making power in the State.
Besides his judgment and author
ity are constitutionally regarded as
of so much more importance to the
State than the judgment and au-
thOrity of the 176 members of the
senate and house of representatives
that he is allowed from ten to thir-
ty days more for considering the
subjects of legislation than the leg
islature itself is allowed. At the
close of the. session the governors
veto power is greater than the
power of all the votes of the gener-
al assembly not only two-thirds of
them.
The actual existing condition
could we'll be taken cognizence of
by those conservative voters of the
State who contend that an efficient
small group of legislators would be
autocratic and to the ruin of repre-
sentative government.
The existing law-making power
and responsibility of one man has
never been more strongly exempli,
fled than as incidental to the late
legislative session. The Governor
repealed, by disapproval numerou;
enactments of the legislature, HI
is still considering other more o.
less doubtful bills and delegations
of citizens for themselves or fo'
cities or special groups are still ap
pearing before him as the final ar
, bitter next before the courts-o
p the States law.
The Governor has shown his dis
regard for the wishes of the legisla
ture by withholding his signature
