1900 Acres Filed On.

Only about 1,50O acres We're filed
on today A great part of the irri-
CATION site was taken several years
ago by homesteaders, who still hold
their claims. An eighty-acre tract,
also a forty, were not filed on be-
cause they are mountain tops. and
several forties We're rejected by home
seekers because they were wide sand
bars, an old bed of the north fork of
Red river, on both sides of which the
land lies was opened today. The land
is seven miles west of Roosevelt and
twelve miles south Of Hobart.

II Urges Closer Cooperation
Among Darker Races.
RESULT OF RACES CONGRESS.
Militant Journa: Edited In London by
Duse Mohamed Makes Significant
Call to Colored Americans For Mu-
tuai Affiiiation-Affordsc Channel For
International Exchange Of Ideas.

The African Times and Orient Re
view, which is an outgrowth OF the
universal races congress which met
in London in 1911, is monthly jour
nal devoted to the colored races of the
world. 1t is thirtyfive page maga-
zine, edited with great ability. Duse
Mohamed Negro born in Egypt and
educated in England, is its editor.
The Review is to be the mouthpiece
of the dark and colored races through
out the world. In the foreword 1t
says, I'VE feel that for lack Of under
standing the African and oriental have
produced nonappreciation. and nonap-
probation has unleashed the hydra
headed monster of derision, contempt
and repression"
Laudable ambitions have but to be
voiced to be appreciated, and that
touch of nature which makes the
whole world kin has only to be
brought into operation to establish that
bond of universal brotherhood among
white. yellow, brown and black.
In "Word to Our Brothers it says:
"As for you. the black race, the brown
race and the yellow race. this is your
own journal. The more humble you

sympathy and advice. We want to

for the good of your race let us hear it.
Your day is coming. Your

come again. AS darkness overlook you

rope The future of Africa. the future
of India, will not be decided In the
chanceries of Europe, but upon the
hills of India and the plains of Africa.
"See that your loins are well girded
and that you have your staff firmly In
your hand when you once more take
your place in the sun" The Review Is
a decided revelation editorially and ty-
geographically, while its contributed ar
ticles are of highly meritorious char
acter. 1t is to be hoped that American
Negroes who want to know what Is
taking place in the darker world ana
what progress their race is making
will subscribe to this excellent maga-
zine.
The significance of the Review need
not be stated. 1t must be apparent
that the necessity which called 1t into
being is vital TO the interests of those
whose spokesman it is and that the
darker races are beginning to louise
from their lethargy and to draw nearer
to one another.

All of our correspondents will please
get their letters in as early as possible
next week as we will go to press on
Tuesday afternoon instead of Wednes-
day afternoon as usual. This change
is made on account of Wednesday be-
ing Christmas and we don't want to
work on Christmas and neither do our
employees. Any one having any items
for publication will confer great
favor by handing them to us as early
as possible. While ordinarily we think
a newspaper should be published the
same time each week, we believe that
we are justified and that our readers
will approve of our making this change
so that Christmas may be appropriately
observed both by us and our force.

Struggle For Good Citizenship.

DIR. Washington GLADDEN., of Column
bus, has recently made an extended
trip through the Western States. In
a sermon delivered at the First Con-
gregational church Of Columbus last
Sunday, he gave his impressions gath
cred on this trip.
DIR. GLADDEN. thoroughly believes in
the people of that section Of our coun-
try west of the Mississippi and sums up
his opinion as follows:
sIn all these cities which visited
IL seemed to me that the battle for
good citizenship is being fought, not
only bravely, but confidently, with
the consciousness of power and the
expectation of victory"
The high character of the people In
these states he thinks is largely due
to the state universities. Here, he
says, he found the men and the women
almost passionately determined that
they shall not be cursed by a Grass
utilitarinism that the higher ideals of
life shall be held up and glorifled.
Surely the people of the New West
have learned most valuable lesson If
they have found out that there is
some thing in life that is above mere
money making; that to accumulate
wealth should not be mans only
ambition and the fact that man has
amassed fortune does not indicate
that he has made success of life.
We hope that this spirit Of the West
will not be contaminated by the spirit
of the East, which has only one way
Of measuring man and that is by how
much money he has gathered together,
but that the spirit of the West will
finally dominate the people Of the East
and cause them to judge man by his
character and general ability and not
his ability to make money.
If DIR. GLADDEN. has rightly judged
the people of the West there is no
doubt but that the battle for good
citizenship is won.
