CENSUS BUREAU FIGURES.

Department Of Commerce and Labor
Reckons Number Of Mulattoes.
Washington.-A statement showing
by states and geographic divisions the
number and proportion Of mulattoes
among the Negroes enumerated at the
thirteenth decennial census Of the Unit
ed States, taken as Of April Is, 1910,
was issued the last week in August
by Director Durand Of the bureau of
the census, department Of commerce
and labor. The statistics were pre-
pared under the direction of William
@. Hunt, chief statistician for pOpula-
ton In the bureau Of the census, and
are subject to revision. The statement
gives comparative figures for 1870 and
1890, no data being available for 1900
or 1900.
The term "mulatto," as used in the
census Of 1910, includes all persons, not
full blooded Negroes, who have some
proportion or perceptible trace Of Ne
gro blood The bureau Of the census
does not regard the returns as being
beyond question since the classification
Of Negroes as full bloods or mulattoes
was necessarily to considerable de-
gree dependent upon the personal opin-
ion and conscientiousness of the emu
merators. The results, however, are
believed to approximate the facts for
the country as a whole and for large
aggregates.
In 1910 there were in continental
United States, as whole, 9,827, ,763 Ne
groes, Of whom 2,050. .6S6, or 200 per
cent. were reported as mulattoes. In
1890 there We're 1,132 060 mulattoes re-
ported, or 1872 per cent Of all the Ne
groes, and in 1870 total of 5s4, ,O49, or
IL per cent Thus the figures taken at
their face value show that about one
fifth Of all the Negroes in 1910 had
some admixture Of white blood, as
against about one-eighth in 1870. 1t
may be noted. however, that an in
crease in the mulatto element does not
necessarily imply increasing intermix-
tue with the whites, since the children
born Of marriages between blacks and
mulattoes would be mulattoes accord
ing to the census definition.
The percentage Of mulattoes reported
varies widely in different states and diff
ferent sections Of the country. 1t was
to be expected that the percentage
would be relatively high in those Sec
tions where the Negro population is
small as compared with the total popu-
lation and would be higher in the north
than In the south. In general the re-
suits are in agreement with this pre-
sumption.
In New England and in the east,
north, central and Pacific divisions
about one-third Of the Negro popula-
tion were reported as mulattoes, while
in each of the three southern divisions
the proportion is only about one-fifth.
In the middle Atlantic division for
some reason the percentage is not high
er than it is in the southern divisions.
This may possibly be due to the rapid
growth Of Negro population in that d.
vision through immigration from the
south.

STATE news BITS
Minor Happenings Of the Week
Throughout Minnesota.

Minnesota has record Of 1880 sol
Ciers who enlisted from this state In
the Civil war; A complete roster Of
all rames with details of place and
time Of enlistment and discharge has
Just been completed by G. ]. Huma-
son, Civil and Indian war record clerk
of the adJutant generals office. This
record was partially destroyed at the
time Of the fire in the old capitol In
1886, but the bound volumes of rec
ords now compiled contain nearly
300 more names than any other list
now available. This list is consulted
In pension matters and has been in
course Of compilation for ten years.
Records show that Of the total num-
ber who enlisted from this state there
were 1859 killed or lost during the
war.
The state treasury of Minnesota is
worse depleted than 1t has been at
this time of year for long time, ac-
cording to State Treasurer Walter j.
Smith. He said that the revenue fund
is overdrawn $450,000 and payrolls
and bills to be met Immediately will
increase this to $500, 900, which is the
limit allowed by law, so it will be
necessary next week to begin borrow
ing from the banks. This will be the
earliest date at which borrowing has
been necessary. The first money was
borrowed Oct. 8 last year. 1t is ex-
pected that the amount to. be bor-
rowed will be much larger this year
than last. 1t will be repaid in Febru-
ary when the railway taxes come in.
Governor Eberhart has set the week
beginning Sept. Is as seed corn week.
In proclamation the governor calls
attention to the big Minnesota corn
crop this year and the advantage of
selecting seed early, as the farmers
discovered last year. He urges large
corn crops as an advertisement of the
resources Of the state and suggests
that all farmers during the week go
through their fields and select the best
ears for seed.
A system Of alleged blackmail, ex-
tending over eleven years, by which
more than 100000 is alleged to have
been extorted from Mrs. Caroline King
Of Minneapolis, widow of Colonel Will
lam s. King, former congressman,
was disclosed in suit filed in the
Hennepin county district court against
Carleton Hudson Of Chicago
William Henry Eustis, former may.
or of Minneapolis and q defeated Re-
publican candidate for governor, has
fled for the Republican nomination
for congressman at large. He will
make the race as Taft supporter
He is the fifth man to file for the
same position.
F. Alexander Stewart of Minneap-
oils has filed for the position of chief
justice Of the supreme court, the first
to come out against Chief Justice
Start. Mr.. Stewart is a practicing
lawyer Of Minneapolis and has been
more or less prominent in politics.
Kelsey s. Chase, state bank ex-
aminer, predicts that deposits in state
banks in Minnesota will increase be-
cause of the fine crop to $135, 900
by December.

RELIGIOUS PROGRESS.
Methodist Episcopal chureh's Efforts

Methodist Episcopal Church's Efforts
to Encourage Race Advancement.
Perhaps nothing has done more with
IN recent years to impress the Method
ist Episcopal church with the impor-
tance Of giving larger opportunity and
freedom to its Afro-American member
ship than the character and ability Of
the delegates who represented the
race in the recent general conference.
They were men Of intelligence and
achievement. who have wrought well
for the advancement Of the cause.
When one reflects upon the fact that
1926, 200 colored Americans in the Unit
ed States are members of this denomt-
nation no surprise should be expressed
over their desire for official recogni-
ton. They maintain twenty confer
ences in various sections Of the coun-
try and hold church property valued
at $6,OOO,0O0 and conduct twenty-three
educational institutions.
Eight of the twenty-three schools
are presided over by members Of the
race as presidents, and In some of them
the entire faculty Is composed Of well
equipped young men and women Of
the race who are graduates from some
of the leading institutions Of learning
in this country.
There are nine colored men doing
general work who receive an average
salary Of $2,233. The highest salary
paid is that of $4,000 to the secretary
of the Freedmen's Aid society. This
position was held for sixteen years by
DR.. M. G. b. Mason Of Cincinnati, who
rendered high and distinguished serv-
ice in this capacity.
+ The people in New Orleans were par
ticulsrly interested in the recent gen.
eral conference bcause one Of their cit
liens was put forward for the highest
Office in the gift of the church. The
person we refer to is the Rev. Robert
Il. Jones, d. D., IL. D., editor Of the
Southwestern Christian Advocate. Dr.
Jones has been editor Of the South

elected in 1904 to succeed DR.. I. b.

For an hour and twenty-five min
utes Colonel Roosevelt talked. Reit
Grating the charge that the Republican
nomination at Chicago was stolen
not from him, but from the people
and declaring that the bosses who
committed that theft could not stea!
the election in November, he asked
for square deal and for a Progress
sive government and said he was ap
pealing to the great body of American
people to see that they get what Il
their due.
Time and again the colonel waa
interrupted by bursts of applause and
he smiled happily when he saw thai
what he had said was going home
The crowd was so great that he was
forced practically to deliver two
speeches.
Talks to Two Audiences.
On one end of the improvised grand
stand he would speak for five minutes
then turn to the other and repeat fol
the greater part what he had spoken
before. He did this, he said, in or
der that all might hear and in order
that all might get square deal.
Colonel Roosevelt reached the fair
grounds at II o'clock and received an
uproarious welcome. The crowd about
the platform, which had been growing
steadily since an hour earlier, mum.
bered in the thousands, and only a
part Of the people could get neal
enough to the colonel to hear him.
The nomination of Woodrow Wilson
at the Baltimore convention was as
sailed by Roosevelt as the work of
the Democratic bosses, in the opening
Of his address.
In this campaign for the Republic
an nomination, Colonel Roosevelt said,
the bosses were dethroned one after
another in states In which there were
direct presidential primaries.

boss was beaten in his own state.
- Clark Won In Primaries.
TN most of the Democratic prima-
ries the vote had been against Mr..
Wilson. In most cases they were car
ried by Clark. In no case in the pri-
mary vote before the convention was
a Democratic boss beaten in his own
state. ...
"The bosses Of the Democratic party
were enthroned in power by the result
Of the Baltimore convention. The fun
damental difference between the Dem
ocratic and the Republican bosses
was that the Republican bosses knew
that our triumph In the Chicago con-
vention meant their death knell and

Should Be Strictly Guarded.
In keeping with the advancement Of

that we look well to the security Of

Any attempt to deceive our people
by telling them that their salvation as

upon the amount Of land they own or
their holdings in commercial products
and the like must be met with dignified
scorn.
Take away a mans civil and polit-
