the earnings they have made
abroad, by themselves returning
with new ideas and new ambitions
and entering into the work OF
building up the country.
These returned emigrants have
brought back to the mother coun-
try improved farming machinery,
new methods of labor, and new
capital. italian emigrants abroad
not only contribute to their moth
er country a sum estimated at be-
tween five and six million dollars
annually, but Italian emigration
has awakened Italy to The value OF
her laboring classes, and in doing
this has laid the foundation for the
prosperity of the whole country
In fact, Italy is another illustra-
tion that the condition of the man
at the bottom affects the life OF
every class above him. 1t is to
the class lowest down that Italy
largely owes what prosperity she
Z 1nasas yet attained.-Outlook.

THE UNIVERSAL
RACES CONGRESS

With the object of discussing,
Sin the light of science and the
modern conscience, the general re-
lations subsisting between the
people of the West and those OF
the East, between so-called colored
neople and so. called white people,
with a view to encourage between
them fuller understanding, the
most friendly feeling, and a heart
ier co-orperation," as expressed
in its call, there will be held at the
University of London, England
the first Universal Races Congress
from July 26th to 29th.
On the executive committee and
among the presiding officers and
sneakers are the leaders of advanc-
ed thought Of the races OF the
world. the Negro and the Amerl-
can Indian finding champions or
rather, expositors in Sir Harry A.
Johnson, England; T. Tengo ia
b,,ya. South Africa; Pastor Majola
Aobebi. South Africa; DIR. w. b.
b Dubois, U. S. A; Frances Hog
gan. England; DR.. Jean Baptiste
de Lacarde, Brazil; and DIR. Chas'
Alexander Eastman, u 5. A.
1t is perhaps, too much to hope
that any immediate results Will
arise from the Congress, that there
will be any perceptible lessening OF
the tension between the ''so-called
white and the so-called colored
raceso SO soon as these learned men
shall have given to the world their
views on the problem OF the races
but there are grounds for the re-
lief that this interchange OF
thought will be productive OF good
and will contribute to the break
ing down of the attitue among
children of a common parent.

THE LAND OF
EMIGRANTS
THE FOURTH ARTICLE IN THE SERIES CALLED THE
MAN FATHEST DOWN" BY BOOKER WASHINGTON.

tel where | stayed there was
narrow winding street which led
by a stone staircase from the main
thoroughfare up the projecting
hillside to one of those dark and
obscure alleyways for which Ma
pies, in spite of the Improvements
which have been made in recent
wears, is still noted. Near the foot
of the stairs there was a bakery,
and not far away was the office of
the State Lottery. The little
street to which | refer is chiefly
inhabited by fishermen and casual
laborers, who belong to the poorest
classes of the city. They are the
patrons also of the lottery and the
bakery, for there is no part of Ma
piles that is so poor that it does not
support the luxury of lottery;
and, might add, there are few
places of business that are carried
on in filthier manner than these
bakeries of the pooer classes.
l was passing this place late in
the afternoon, when L was sur
prised to see huckster@I think
he was a fish vender-draw up bis
wagon at the foot of this stone
staircase and begin unhitching his
mule. [ looked on with some cur
iosity, becauseI could not, for the
life of me, make out where ne was
going to put that animal after he
had unhitched him. Presently
the mule, having been freed from
the wagon, turned of his own no.
ton and began clambering up the
staircase. / was so interested that
/ followed.
A little way up the hill the stair
case turned into dark and dirty
alleyway, which, however, was
crowded with people. Most of
them were sitting in their doorways
or in the street; some were knit
ting, some were cooking over little
charcoal braziers which were
placed out in the street. One fam
lily had the table spread in the
middle of the road and had just
sat down very contentedly to their
evening meal. The street was
strewn with old bottles, dirty pa
pers, and all manner of trash; at
the same time it was filled with
sprawling babies and with chick
ems, not to mention goats and 9TH
er household appurtenances. The
mule, however, was evidently ia
miliar with the situation, and made
his way along the street, without
creating any surprise or disturb
ance, to his own home

The Negroes of Lexington, KY,
pay taxes OH property valued at
S774,735. The school tax rate of
the State is 35 cents on each one
hundred dollars. The school taxes
therefore, paid by the Negroes of
Lexington for the support of the

The State tax rate for public
school purposes is 22 cents on
each one hundred dollars, and the
amount contributed by the Ne
groes of Lexington for the State

of 81 1859, which the Negroes
Of Lexington contribute to the

The Colorado statesman., 1911-07-15

For my purpose it is convenient
to divide the life of Naples into
three classes. There is the life of
the main avenues or boulevards.
where one sees all that in Neapoll-
tan life. The buildings are hand
some. streets are filled with car
riages, sidewalks are crowded with
handsomely dressed people, DC
casionally one sees a barefootsd'
begger asleep on the marble steps
of some public building. Some
times one sees, as l did, woman
toilirg up the long street side by
side with donkey pulling cart.
There are a good many beggars,
but even they are cheerful, and
they hold out their hands to you
with a roguish twinkle in their
ewes that somehow charms the
pennies out of your pocket.
Then their is the life of the mar
rover streets, which stretch out in
an intricate network all over the
older part of the city. Many OF
these streets contain the homes as
we'll as the workshops OF the artl-
san class. Others are filled with
the petty traffic of hucksters and
small tradesmen. In one street
YOU may find long row OF push
carts. with fish and vegetables, or
strings of cheap meat dangling
from cords, surrounded by crowd,
chaffering and gesticulating- g-Nea-
politan bargain-hunters. In an
other street you will find, inter-
mingled with the little shops,
skilled artisans with their bench
es nushed half into the street. at
work at their various tasks. Here
YOU will see a wood carver at his
open doorway, busily engaged in
carving out an elegant bit OF furni-
+nra while in the back of the shop
his wife is likely to be engaged in
getting the midday meal. A little
further along you may meet a gold
smith. a worker in iron or copper.
One is making a piece of Jewelry,
the other is mending s kettle. In
these streets one sees, in fact, all
the old handicrafts carried on IN
much the same manner and appar-
emily with the same skill that they
we're carried on three hundred
years ago.
Finally, there are the narrower
darker, dirtier streets which are
picturesque and into which no or
binary traveller ventures. This
seldom visited reigon was, however
the one in which l was particular
Iv interested, for [ had come to
Naples to see the people and to
see the worst.

dition than the one | have describ-
ed. In city where every one
lives in the streets more than half
the time, and wnere all the inti-
mate business of life is carried
on with frankness and candor of
which we in America have no con-
ception. there is little difficulty in
seeing how people live. l saw, for
example, several cases in which
the whole family, to the number
of six or seven, live in a single
room, on dirt floor, without siu-
gle window. More than that, this
one room, which was in the base
ment of large tenement house,
was not as large as the average
one room Negro cabin in the South.
In one of these one-room homes L
visited there was a blacksmith
shop in one part of the room, while
the family ate and slept in the
other part. The room was 50
small that l took the trouble to
measure it, and found it s xl3
feet in size.
Many of these homes of the
poorer classes are nothing better
than dark and damp cellars
More than once | found in these
dark holes sick children and invi-
| lid men and women living in a
room in which no ray of light en-
tered except through the open
door. Sometimes there would be
little candle burning in front of
crucifix beside the bed of the in
valid, but this Pickering taper,
lighting up some pale, wan face,
only emphasized the dreary sur
roundings. 1t was a constant
source of surprise to me that under
such conditions these people could
be SO cheerful, friendly, and ap-
parently contented.
| made some inquiry as to what
sort of amusements they had. l
found that one of the principle
forms of amusement of this class
of people is gambling. What
seems stranger still, this vice is in
Italy Government monopoly.
The State, through its control of
the lottery, adds to the other rev.
enue which it extracts from the
people not less than five million
dollars a year, and this sum comes
for the most part, from the very
poorest part of the population.

From all that | can learn, pub
lie senti ment in Italy is rapidly
being aroused to the evils which
cling TO the present system of deal
ing with the agricultural laborer
and the poorer classes. But Italy
has not done well by her lower
classes in the past. She has op-
pressed them with heavy taxes;
has maintained land system that
has worn out the soil at the same
time that it has impovished the
laborer; has left the agricultural
laborer in ignorance, has failed
to protect them from the rapacity
of the large landowners; and has
finally driven them to seek their
fortunes in a foreign land.
In return, these emigrants have
repaid their native country by
vastly increasing her foreign com
merce, by pouring back into Italy

The Valentine

IN days Of old a valentine
Was made Of parchment, fold Oh fold,
And in quaint language, ~ am thine,
Was the soft message that it told.
Twas written in a stately style
And ornamented with a scroll,
And vowed her beauty could beguile
A monkish soul.
Then later came the lowered things,
Bedecked with cupids and with doves
Which bore upon their spreading wings
The burden of undying loves.
All, such imprisoned lyrics, too,
Concealed from undesired gaze!
Twas the accepted way to WOO
In those old days.
Again, the fashion changed, and then
Milady fair must have a fan,
OF fine remembrance sent her when
A valentine she needs must scan
Anonymous yet deity sent
So that she knew the source full well,
And cheered or crushed the sentiment
The gift must tell.
Once more the fashion changed, and so
The valentine was changed likewise
Into thing of sheen and show
Meant for lovely lady's eyes.
1t told of how the sender felt
When he was pierced by Cupid dart;
The valentine whereon twas spelt
Looked like heart.
Today another style is here;
The man who fain would WOO and win
Assures the lady that she's dear
With quite grim, sarcastic grin.
He sends valentine today
Sans lace, sans flowers, sans verse
He speeds a missive on its way
Shaped like purse.

Mark Twain on Roosevelt

Papers that were owned and manu-
scripts that were written by Samuel l..
Clemens, mark Twain, collected at
New York for disposal at auction at an
early date, are found to contain some
excellent indications Of the late authors
method Of work. An interesting and
comparatively recent document refers
to Roosevelt. This one described as IAN
article on the Inauguration of Taft and
the deliverance of the country from
Roosevelt, - is dated March 6. 1909 A
portion of it follows
Astronomers assure us that the
attraction of gravitation on the surface
of the sun is twenty-eight times as
powerful as is the force at the earth 5
surface; that an object which weighs
pit pounds elsewhere would weigh
5000 pounds there.
For seven years this country has
lain smothering under burden like
that of the incubus represented in the
person of Roosevelt, a difference
between pit pounds and 5000 Let
thanks be that we got rid of this disas-
trous burden the day before yesterday,
at last. Forever? Probably not; prob
ably only for a brief breathing spell.
Wherein under Taft we may hope to
get back some of our health for four
years, we may expect to have Roose-
welt sitting on us again with his twenty
eight times the weight of any other
presidential burden that a hostile prov
idence would have imposed on us for
our sins.
"Our people have adored this snowy
charlatan as perhaps no imposter of
his breed has been adored since the
golden calf; so it is to be expected that
the nation will want him back again
after he is done hunting other wild
animals heroically in Africa, with the
safeguard and advertising equipment
of park of artillery and brass
band"

Legislature would be called in special

close of the present term. Governor
Vessey has put an end to all such pre-

be no special session. We heartily
approve of the governors stand in this
matter. We believe that now we are

time of the members can well be spared
from a whole lot of worthless measures
now before the session and given to the
