Marriage" said a negro preacher.
addressing his congregation, "is

Look at all de big men in de Bible
what did not get married. Samson, he
got married, an his ole wife para
lyzed him. Then Job he got married,
an dinged If de oman didn't want
him ter cuss God an die. She didn't
care SO much bout him cussin' God;
de dying part was what she was arter.
She was a bad oman an would hab

would turn white, an still you young
folks would keep on a tinkin' bout

yer head, somehow, an no amount OBJ

old mans wife entered the church.
"Yas," he continued, "as l was say
ing, there is nothing like marryin'
good oman. Eff had nebber married
but onct an had happened to cotch
her first my happiness in dis life

Ngroes, as majority ride on the
1t be but short distance For most
of them four or five miles is a good
journey. However, 1t does seem that.
as much as many of them have had
the opportunity to ride on the trains,
1t is time they were learning to keep
their heads from out the windows.
This habit in itself makes many Of
them unbearable on the railways.
However cold 1t may be, and how
ever much they may cause others to
suffer, they will hoist the windows
almost as soon as they sit down, SIM
ply to have the opportunity to poke
their heads out at the next station.
1t would seem sometimes that all
their relatives and friends ahead for
four or five stations have a knowl-
edge of their being on board. If no.
body is at the train to see them
pass they will imagine SO anyway,
and when 1t rolls up to the station
their heads are out the windows, and
they are yelling and waving their
hands, like a set of fools, at they
know not what or whom. We are
made to wonder sometimes why con-
ductors will allow 80 much of this
kind of thing. But we remember
that many conductors wish to be kind
to and lenient with this thoughtless
element, and very often only in cases
of pressing necessity will force them
to put down the windows.
On one occasion a gentleman kindly
asked a young man who was sitting
just in front of him to put down the
window, and the young man insult
inly informed him that he would not
put down the window. So it is in
many case, good and well-behaved
people have to be made uncomfort-
able on the railways by the self-im-
portant young Negrose who think
they have the right to make it un-
pleasant for all other passengers
aboard the train.
We want all our people who travel
on the railroads to learn that glass
windows were made to look through
and that they can see through them
all they want to see while travelling
1t will not benecessary to poke their
heads out the windows-Southern
Ploughman.

We are pleased to not the deter

We must be able to differentiate be-

Some time ago some one suggest
ed that 5000 negroes should march to
Washington, d. c., and there and then
demand President Taft to do some
thing towards putting a stop to mob
violence. We hope for two reasons
that the suggestion will not be acted
upon. First, the expedition would
do no good. Second, there are plenty
other ways in which the negro can
and will play the fool without imitat-
ing Coxey's army.
The Colorado statesman., 1912-03-02

Real fatherhood as realized by man
does not consist in mere physical re-
lationship. Nor is it physical likeness.
A person may be physically the son of
another; but If al. ties of affection are
lost, he is as though he were not son.
Affection is all. There may be two
children who are In the same family
one son by nature, the other by adop-
ton. Suppose the son by nature grows
up out of all sympathy with the par
ents. He follows paths directly oppo-
site to those wished for by the parents.
He is continual sorrow to them. But
the adopted son grows up in sympathy
with the family. He honors its name,
sacrifices for it and, instead of bring
ing to 1t sorrow, he brings to it honor.
This one is the joy of his parents, yet
he is not their son by nature. Which
one, however, is accounted more the
son, or Is deserving more of the faith
erly love? The second, we agree. His
relationship is that of spirit with
spirit.-Christian Recorder.
The Colorado statesman., 1912-03-02

The negro preacher should be very
attentive to his church duties at all
times. He should not bum around on
the streets but should be at home or in
his study preparing himself for each
and every service.
When they spend the majority Of
their time loafing around gossiping it
| is impossible for them to instruct the
people only in an unintelligent way
from which no benefit whatever can
be derived.
If your congregation will not sup
port you on account of your inability,
then quit preaching and go to the farm
or some other honorable labor.
We know some divines who will
preach from one to five Sundays to
the month and during the week lug
around with a drummer's valise, which
is disgrace to the ministry and the
race as whole.
If you can't preach, let preaching
alone. If you can carry the drum
mer's valise. then carry it and stop
disgracing yourself and the ministry.

1t is the policy of Tuskegee insti-
tute to employ its graduates wher-
ever 1t is found expedient to do so.
Thirty-six graduates are now employ
ed as teachers, some of them having
charge of divisions. Among the Oldest
and most valuable teachers will De
found many graduates of the insti-
tute.-The Southern Letter
The Colorado statesman., 1912-03-02

A great many negro husbands are
natural and incorrigible rovers. They
have a string of cities, with family
in each, from New York to Chicago,
and they keep on moving from one to
their families to the other, until the
undertaken catches them.
The rowing system is not only high
ly immoral but leads to some very
ghastly tragedies; say, when two ro-
yers meet in the same house at the
same time and dispute as to which of
them is the husband of the woman of
the house. 1t is to be hoped that the
system will grow less in favor as the
tragedies of it increase in number and
ghastliness.-New York Age.

The Savannah Tribune, thinks that
elaborate funeral displays" have be-
come too much of a tax. 1t says
How infinitely better would it not be
to eliminate SO much unnecessary tax
alton as is placed upon the members
whenever death occurs within their
ranks and to increase the monthly dues
Just a trifle, thereby allowing a slight
ly larger sick and death benefit and
to cut out entirely all street parades
and large outlays at funerals" Tell
a negro, an Irfshman or an italian
that he cannot have big funeral
when he dies, and he will at once
lose all interest in the societies that
care for the sick and bury the dead.
Many people would think life not
worth living if they were to have no
big funeral when they die
The Colorado statesman., 1912-03-02

The sins of white men seem to re-
turn upon them as loathsome plague.
White men are mistaken for negroes
in their society and are compelled to
flee for their lives. This was clearly
manifested when a Russian Jew, in
company with white woman. entered
one of the fashionable cafes. On ac-
count of his dark complexion. he was
thought to be negro. The whole city
was aroused at once and had 1t not
been for the swiftness of the victims

Prospecting

We read great deal about the decline
OF prospecting. This may be, in one
sense, but on the whole it is not so.
Truly the picturesque old timer with
his red shirt and top boots, accompanied
by his ever faithful friend, the burro,
has disappeared. In most of the vest
ern states prospecting has necessarily
declined for more reasons than one.
The country has become more settled in
an agricultural way; the allurements
are not SO great, but principally the
great attractions in other parts, such as
Nevada and Alaska, have taken great
number. The Dorth today offers better
inducements for quicker returns than at
home. The hardy prospector, ever adj
venturous seeks those fields.
On the other hand, for instance in
Nevada, every sheepherder, cowpuncher,
rancher, ETC., is a prospector in bis spare
time. Again, the new mines and dis
tricts that are being heralded do hot
suggest that prospecting is declining.
We might say today that prospecting
has changed OF late years. 1t is no long
er done in the old way. The men that
prospect today do so more scientifically.
They understand sopething Of geology,
mineralogy and chemistry, they do their
work more quietly, consequently we do
not notice it so much.
That prospecting will not cease, but
may change, is certain. Man is raven
GUS for gold, and the quest Of it has too
much fascination; there is no danger
too great for him to overcome to acquire
it. Alaska has proved this. Mining

Fire at Crete House

An alarm Of fire at the residence of Ed
Crete was given at about two O'Clock on
Tuesday afternoon Mr.. Crete was
fortunately at home and was the first
to discover the fire which by that time
had eaten quite hole in the roof. The
alarm was phoned to the hotel at once
and plenty Of help was on hand in a
short time The only damage was to
the roof which shows quite hole and
from water on the bedding and furniture
in the house. The blaze was probably
caused by spark from the chimney.
