An announcement from Golfers

You breathe newspapers. Every
day you take into your system their state
ments, their opinions, their pictures Of life.
You are largely formed by them. Onethe
other hand, you help to create them.
Your habits, your tastes, your wishes, de-
termlne their course. How much do YOU
know about them? Practically nothing.
GOLFERS believes that the public ought
to be in closer touch with these sources of
opinion and power We have decided,
therefore, to make the great feature of
Golfers, all through 1911, series Of
articles on the newspaper as one of the
leading forces in modern society.
We shall give the history Of the news
paper; show why free government could
not exist without it; describe the value Of
yellow journalism, and it's harm. We
shall answer such questions as What is
News?' We shall explain the forces
which a newspaper is compelled to face,
including the fnancier, the advertiser, and
the general reader. Part Of the series will
be written by experts from the inside
Part will present the views Of outsiders.
We shall take up journalism in various
specific places. Residents of Boston,
San Francisco, Charleston, Chicago, and
many other towns and cities, will not only
learn new things about their newspapers,
but will tell us what they think about them.

investigation, starts with series of four.
teen articles, which will begin in
GOLFERS for January 2lst and will
appear about every other week.
1t would be easy to "muckrake"
American journalism-to take an instance
here, a defect there and by massing detri-
mental truths present a picture Of press
untrue to it's ancient tribunate Of the
people
GOLFERS has avoided that. We
have tried to take the broad view Of Jour
nalism, the virtues with the defects.
The series is intense with interest
holds you by it's humor and drama For
we are dealing with the most romantic
calling Of modern times. Stories of the
crises in journalism; glimpses Of great
characters hidden from the public view in
the anonymity (which clouds the profes-
sion; intimate discussion Of the failings
and strengths Of Individual American
newspapers perhaps your own paper
make these articles as interesting as they
are important
1t is many-sided subject. entertaining,
vital. We have taken such precautions
to cover it fully that the American people
at the end Of 1911 will understand the
press better than they understand it
to-day. They will read it more inteli-
gently. They will control it more
effectually.

Colored Industrial School.
Under the caption NO Race Problem
Here" the Journal. an influential pa
per published in Manassas, Va. says:
The people of this section have set
tied the race problem in common
sense way-by not having any prob
lem to settle.
"The conflicts that have occurred
north. south. east and west between
the two races only interest us here in
an academic way. This is due to good
sense and conservatism and the alb
sence of the professional or political
agitator. The man who would come
here to foment discord and make trou-
BILE would be discountenanced and
probably asked to leave town by lead
ing men of both races.
Perhaps the strongest influence
here among the colored people for
good citizenship is the colored indus
trial school founded by the efforts of
southern colored woman and aided in
its inception by southern white men.
This school lays down the fundamen-
tai principle that society has no place
for the loafer; that the world needs
more work of the hands and less Of
the tongue to make good citizens.
Now financed almost wholly by
northern men. the policy of the school
remains unchanged. and teachers and

business. always conducting them
selves with the propriety of good citi-
zens and never loafing or drinking or
gambling. In discipline and work the
school is really n model.
Native virginians, many of them
ex-Confederates. frequently visit the
schoo! and always comment favorably
on the good order. industry and fine
sanitary conditions existing about both
farm and shops as well as the dormi-
tories. Young colored girls are taught
household work and the young men
farming and craftsmanship. and both
sexes are well taught. In addition they
are given good English education.
But, best of all. be 1t told to their
credit. no matter how large the at
tendance may be at any of their public
meetings. neither town nor country has
ever found it necessary to appoint
single extra policeman or deputy
sheriff. and nobody ever dreams of
peril of either life or property in con-
sequence of the presence of the school

UNIVERSITY CLUB BALL TEAM
BEATS TRAFFICS.

In the hard contested game of ball
played last Sunday morning between
the University Bellmen and the Traf'
fic club bellmen on the lot at Thirtieth
and Champa streets, there was some
very clever playing done on the part
of the University team, crediting them
at the close with a score of 22 to 10.
The game was witnessed by large
crowd of both colored and white. Man
ager and Captain Eugene Andrews
was one of the star players of the
winning team, making some very sen
sational plays. The manager of the
Traffic Club boys, Mr.. Jimmie Banyon,
says that he still thinks his team can
win for a nice side bet.

| Even Colorado people do not realize
that within our borders exists a col
ony of Negro farmers whose thrift
and whose rise over difficulties are
worthy of emulation and comment
equal to that of farmers in any sec
ton. Unlike the Negro colonies which
have settled in the rain belts of the
southern states and where the meth
ods of farming were those with which
they were acquainted, the Colorado
! colony came from the old state of Vir-
ginia and here in Colorado in the dry
| farming section, have taken up homes,
| learned the methods which succeed
here and have come into competence
with practically no money and certain
ly no experience.
The colony is located near Akron,
Colorado. a little over IA hundred miles
north of Denver on the Burlington
route, the farms lying few miles
east of town and scattered for fifteen
miles, sections and half sections hav-
ing been homesteaded as the young
folk came into their majority or others
have been added by emigration from
Virginia. Burrell Younger and his
brother Sonic are the original settlers.
The former reached Denver with $50
in the days when Colorado was pre-
sided over by Governor Cooper, and
it was under his direction that they
settled near Akron. According 70
Governor Cooper's advice, these broth
ers did not then bring their families
with them. but imbued with that pi-
oneer spirit which has made the West,
they had left the old accustomed
places and conditions and went out
A .if,lr, nrfb n
make home for their families. After
year. so hard did they work and so
well were they rewarded, that their
families joined them. Now their chill
dren and other families which joined
them have brought the total of fam
lilies up to %. Their wells and wind
mills, their cattle and horses. their
grain are typical of the best that the
dry farming section of Colorado has
produced, and their wealth and inde-
