KENTUCKY LEGISLATURE WAS
VERY LIBERAL IN DEALING
WITH NEGRO INSTITU-
TIONS.

Louisville, KY, (SpeciaD The
state legislature of Kentucky closed
it's business. and of the numerous
bills passed, not one was aimed at the
abridgement of the negro's rights, but
on the other hand the colored people
have cause to rejoice in that quite a
sum was appropriated for the educa-
tion of the young men and women of
the state. Frankfort Normal and In
dustrial Institute received $17 500 for
improvements to be made in the two
new buildings recently erected. The
Western Industrial school was voted
$10,500 for the erection of a small
school in the western part of the
state. The Kentucky Home Society
for the caring of little children with
out parents was given $4,000. All the
schools have been remembered each
with appropriations. DR.. c. H, Par
rish is head of the home and Mr.. Lee
L. Brown is the secretary. Mr.. Brown
is young man and is graduate of
Eckstein Norton University. He is a
hustling and progressive young citi-
zen and does splendid work in the
newspaper field, also conducts a steno-
graphic school and Miss Marie Streaty
is his assistant.
The finest school building in the
south is that of the new Lincoln
school. 1t was dedicated Feb. 10 with
appropriate exercises. Its erection was
begun about % months ago, during
the regime of the old school board.
Its original cost was estimated at
provements. added from time to time,
brought the cost of the building to
much higher figure, and when the
present board came into office it was
found necessary to appropriate still
more for its completion. It's total cost
amounts to sS0,000 1t is located at

fully covered.
The compilation is the work of Dan.

During this time Mr.. Murray has been
an employe of the Library of Congress

INCREASED POPULARITY OF EN-.
BROlDERIES.

Embroideries for early spring will
be more popular than ever. The ten
dency to a return to trimmed skirts
in all fabrics, and especially to foot
trimmings and three-tier effects, Is
one reason for this popularity. In
these days of panel effects, band trim
mings, fichu and surplice outlines and
galloons, bands and insertions of va
rious width are absolute essentials
In the making of gowns. Widths of
embroideries range from one inch to
Is inches, but the four to nine inch
widths are those most used by de-
signers of gowns.
Colbert embroidery bands and all
overs are expected to reach a great
vogue. 1t is of the cut-work order, re-
sembling, in an enlarged way, Car
rickmacross lace, and also giving an
effect similar to that of real Venise
lace. 1t will be much used for lapels
or revers on coats, as well as for hat
trimming or gown garniture.
All-over embroideries have been
very popular for several seasons, but
new uses for them have been evolved
from fashions in garments made of
other fabrics. AS the season advances
little coatees, overblouses, jackets.
boleros and Etons will be created, to
be worn over simple muslin gowns,
thus making them dressy at mo-
ment's notice. There will be larger
use than ever for all-overs in whole
gowns, parasols. hats. tunics and un-
darwear.

Washington, d. C.-The senate com
mittee on industrial expositions gave
its approval to the Bradley bill pro-
viding for the holding of an exposition
in the summer of 1913 to celebrate
the semi-centennial anniversary of the
emancipation proclamation.
The president of the United States
is to appoint commission, consisting
of the secretaries of the treasury,
war and navy, to make the plans for
the exposition. An expenditure of
$25O,0O0 also would be authorized.
The exposition is to be under the
joint supervision of the commission
and the SemiCentennial American
Emancipation Exposition company,
which has its headquarters in Savan,
nah, Ga, and which has been promot-
ing the exposition
The exposition is to be held either
in the District of Columbia or in one
of the states where slavery existed be.
fore the Civil war. 1t is proposed
that the exhibits shall show the his.
tory, progress and present condition
of the negro race in this and other
countries.
The Colorado statesman., 1912-04-13

dent Roosevelt believes that there is
but one way in the solution of such
an intricate problem and that is by
uealing with black men as you do
with white men. 1t is the same rule
which must be applied to rich men
and poor men; that is, treating each
man, whatever his color or creed or
social position, with even-handed JUS
tlce according to his real worth as a
man. The white man ought to treat
well the colored man who shows by
his life that he deserves such treat
ment. Surely 1t is the highest wisdom
to encourage individuals of whatever
race who are honest, Industrious and
law abiding and who make good and
safe neighbors and citizens
Again, as people, we have no
need to fear that the coming foreign.
ers will make it impossible for us to
earn a livelihood. We believe that
much of the talk about the movement
is simply conspiracy to frighten the
negro. 1t is evident that the south, as
whole, does not want the influx of
foreigners. 1t was only few years
ese question, and the south is gather
ing material for a far greater trouble
than she has ever witnessed. The
bomb-throwing Helots and the black
handed Italians of Europe will GER
tainly teach her a lesson. And the
south will learn in the end that she
has the best set of laborers right at
her own door, and if she knew how to
treat them decently she would find
them kindly, intelligent, efficient and
reliable. But after the foreigners
have come over and begun their long
strikes. have hurled their bombs and
have smashed up cars and factories,
the whites will become alarmed, will
band themselves with the negroes and
begin to respect them as fellow-coun-
trymen. A common danger and a.
common sympathy will unite these
long estranged neighbors. The black
man will help the white man and the
white man will help the black man.

"THE CHOCOLATE SOLDIER

Oscar Strauss opera, 1.-The Choco-
late Soldier" which the Whitney,
Opera company will present at the
Lyceum next Monday and Tuesday
has already won for itself an immor-
tally that will be as lasting as that
now held by its famous predecessors
OF the last 40 years. In it's wide
popular appeal this gem of Vien-
nese composition has duplicated he
profound success which attended,
Arms and the Man," the famous COM
edy-satire by George Bernard Shaw,
from which the story of 1.-The Choco-
late Soldier" is derived. Z.
Mr.. Whttney's production Of the
opera ranks as high in scenic annals
as does the opera itself in the his
tory Of musical art. It is a. vivid
little cross-section of life in Bulgaria
that is disclosed by the rising of she
curtain. and every detail OF costume
and scenery is faithful to the country
celebrated by Shaw and Straus. Nome
OF Mr.. Whitney's companies had ever
been charged with mediocrity, and the
present organization upholds she
Whitney standard with distinction. 4
special company of picked musicians
assures one OF excellent performance
from the orchestral standpoint; vocal

be desired. -

to induce the court to issue an order
compelling the company to maintain

the time this is written Testimony
Will be offered by both sides and this
will occupy considerable time, per-
haps two or three days.
Taking of testimony began Tuesday
night and will be continued each
evening at 1880 o'clock. The usual
requests were made by the attorneys
for the Street Railway company in
an effort to delay the proceedings,
but were promptly refused by Judge
Homer B. Dibell, before whom it is
being heard. Just what will be tho
nature of the ORDER If any issues,
In a. matter Of this kind, is not clear.
The court may order the company
to resume it's regular schedule Of
service but in this event, the COM
pany may be able to stay the order
OF the court by furnishing g. bond
and taking an appeal to the state SUI
preme court. However, in these days
Of many surprises, We may witness
a repetition Of the Des Moiues case,
where the court ordered the men
back to work and the company to
resume its service on the ground that
both contending parties owe q duty
to tho public which neither has the
right to disregard.
Fourteen Men Return.
Fourteen OF the old men returned
to work Monday morning. Not a
man among them was a member of
the union. These fellows stayed with
the company until the rocks began to
fly and then coined" the strikers.
Not a man among them ever attended
a meeting, before or after the strike
was called. Consequently, they can
not be called strikers in any sense Of
the term. towards is a better word.
simultaneously with the return OF
the IA men on the Duluth side, 10
old employees on the Superior side,
who refused to join the strikers at
first, took their cars to the barns and
joined their striking comrades. The
service in Superior is far more miser-
able than it has been in Duluth, and
the boys over there are showing the
same gallant fighting spirit displayed
by their comrades on this side Of the
