BATHROOM NOVELTIES.

Every year something new appears
In the way of bathroom accessories.
Decidedly new this spring are glass
twisted towel rods with nickel-plated
brackets in colonial design. The twist.
ed glass prevents the towels from slip
ping off the rods, as so often happens
with plain glass rods.
Another new fixture. which will be
found useful in small bathroom
where 1t is impossible to have a sta
tionary washstand, is basin and soap
holder of rather heavy wire. white en-
ameled. This holder is made to span
the bathtub from one side to the other
by means of heavy wire extending
out on each side. Both ends of this
wire are nickel plated and made very
strong where they clasp the sides of
the tub. The whole arrangement has
an extension feature which enables
It to fit any width bathtub.
A white enameled manicure table
with glass top over oak, will be found
convenient for either dressing room
or bathroom. This table is finished
with nickel rims. At one end is quar-
ter circle drawer, in which may be
kept the various manicure instru-

The Colorado statesman., 1912-06-08

The negro race cannot afford to in
dulge in the luxuries and extrava-
gance that the very rich of other ma
tionalities do, and hope to overtake
them in accommodating wealth, power
and influence. They have had centu-
ries for accumulation. They can in
dulge in luxuries of all kinds, wear
extra fine clothing, have all of the lat
est styles of the expensive fabrics;
engage in all kinds of amusements;
eat the richest and costliest diet. be in
expensive operas and constantly trav-
ell extensively, and still have an abund-
ance of money and other resources to
draw upon, but when the negro tries
this for little while he is "satiated."
Wisdom and common sense would say
to the negro Live within your means
and not up to the limit of your
means"

Two striking cases of negro heroism
came to our attention this month. A
dispatch from Greenville, Miss, says
that human dixie composed of sew
eral hundred colored men kept the
levee from being destroyed for an hour
and half until the sand bags arrived.
One Of the men killed in the Jed
mine, near Bluefield, w. Va, was Ted
Swaley. A local daily paper says:
This name may not mean much to
some people, but to the miners who re.
call the explosion at Farm on the first
Of last August 1t will mean a great
deal. Ted Swaley was the hero OF
that explosion. Alone he worked his
way through the confined workings Of
that new mine, and, crawling on his
hands and knees, crept to where six
unconscious men lay dying for need OF
help. One by one he rolled them on
his back and dragged them to the
bucket at the foot of the shaft, and
then went to the surface with them.
Assisted by John Moore, also colored,
who carried a safety lamp, Swaley
went back four times into the depths
of the mine, and 1t was due to his
courage and bravery that six men
were taken out, five of whom came
out alive. Swaley continued at min
ing, because 1t was the only trade he
knew"-The Crisis.

finer illustration of that was ever wit

who were on the Inflated ship, Titanic.

tinued playing to revive the spirits OF

anything to keep up the courage of
the passengers. The conduct of the
men in giving the life boats to wom-
en- and children, rather than take
them themselves was great Among
the steerage passengers-thati is, "the
common people"-there were far diff
ferent scenes. There was praying
and weeping. Men trampled down
women and children in order to save
themselves. Why this difference in
conduct in the presence of death? An
other heroic figure that loomed sub
lime was that of the captain. Amid
scenes of confusion and imminent
death he remained calm, resolute, eff
ficient to the last After seeing that
all the women and children had been
provided for. he relaxed the discipline,

to send c. d. Q. and S. o. s. messages
till the last He was not deferred by
the fact that hundreds of men were
rushing by him each trying to save
all. 1t was in vain that the captain
relieved him of further duty. The op-

that he. would not quit, his assistant
thoroughly fastened life belt on him

the devoted operator. This hero was

The most compact and powerful
of the negro churches is the African
Methodist Episcopal church. Its men,
bership has grown from AZ members
in 1887 to 100000 members in 1876
and 494.777 members in 1906. 1t is
governed by board of bishops, fifteen
to eighteen in number, over whom the
senior bishop, at present the Rt. Rev.
Henry M. Turner, presides.
The church has 1000 local organiza-
tions, with property worth over SILL
100000. 1t raises about $2,000,000 a
year; of this about 100000 goes to
pastors, 100000 to bishops and pre-
siding elders, and the other million
to schools, missions and general ex-
penses.
There are two publication houses,
weekly papers and a quarterly maya
zine and some publication Of books.
The church supports over forty
schools, of which the largest and old
est is Wilberforce university, in Ohio
The church, however, is chiefly note
worthy on account of it's board Of
bishops. These bishops are elected
for life by general conference meet
ing every four years. The member
ship of the general conference con-
sists of ministerial and lay delegates;
the clerical delegates are elected from
the annual conferences, one for every
thirty ministers. Two lay delegates
for each annual conference are select
ed by the representatives of the Off
cial church boards in the conference.
Thus we have a peculiar case of ne
gro government, with elaborate ma
chinery and the experience of hun
dred years. How has it succeeded? !?
Its financial and numerical success
has been remarkable, as has been
shown. Moreover, the bishops elect
ed form remarkable series of per-
sonalities. Together the assembled
bishops are perhaps the most striking
body of negroes in the world in per-
sonal appearance: men of massive
physique, clear-cut faces and undoubt-
ed intelligence.

The breaking of the levees of the
Mississippi has called forth negro
heroism more than once. The special
mention given to the colored men
who stopped the breaking levee at
Greenville, Miss. is evidence of the
heroism of the negro under special
and exceptional circumstances to
which the entire history of the coun-
try bears record. This single instance
gains prominence because Of the
number which participated and may
not be cited as the only instance of ex-
ceptional devotion to the best inter
ests of the locality. The instances
of sacrifice may be multiplied many
times and doubtless will when the
story of the rising waters of the Mis-
sissippi is fully told. 1t is to be re-
marked that the negro has never been
backward in rendering whole-hearted
service to the south and its people.
During the last war when the white
men were at the front fighting valor-
ously for a hopeless cause the negro
was toiling at home to feed the army
which fought for his continued en-
slavement and not a single breach Of
trust has been charged to him.
Through the years of freedom to the
present the attempt to cast every slur
imaginable upon him has been met
with patience and fortitude une-
qualed in the annals of the world.
The negro has proved his case, has
vindicated the inherent nobleness Of
his character and is just now groom
ing for great place in American life.
All he wants is chance-a mans
chance.

object for ridicule when he attempts
to wear degree which is entirely too
large for his mental attainments. Yet
how many negro preachers there are
who are wearing the degree of D. D..
which, to them, is an Intellectual mis-
fit
Now 1t is known, or ought to be
known, that no man can rightfully lay
claim to such unless he be a ripe
scholar and shall have, by the writing
OF a thesis or a book, made some orig
inal and recognized contribution to
the realm of theological thought. But
how alarming Is the deficiency in
scholarship, to say nothing of the 9TH

will negro preachers learn that,
though they may raise enough money
to buy the coveted degree, they can.

buy the brains necessary to make the
degree a fit?

We must not make the titles PRO
fessor" and Doctor" too common.
Every man who has seen inside of a
school room as a teacher for a few
months or who has preached a few
times and thinks he is at" should not
be called Doctor or Professor. These
honorary titles will soon become
meaningless II 80 used.
Ripeness of scholarship, real depth
of knowledge and mastery Of certain
subjects, broadness of research and
wilderness of experience along the In
tellectual lines are the things that
really entitle men to such honors as
Doctor and Professor.
We are constantly meeting men
bearing these titles who are by no
means able to measure up to what
the titles signify. Giving such men
these titles is like putting good and
fine labels on spurious articles in Jars,
cans. boxes, etc. They don't tell the
truth. The pure food law makes 1t a
penal offepse to do this. Isn't 1t about
as bad to put these false labels on
men?

COTTON LEAF WORM
PRESENT IN NUMBERS
Farm Demonstration Buchanan APP
peals to Farmers to Use Poison
for Their Eradication.

In all the late cotton and in low,
damp places where the cotton is still
growing and blooming, there are thou
sands of leaf worms, making havoc
of the plants and doing real damage.
The worms that are now in the cotton
are known as the first crop. They
are now about grown; in fact, some
of them are webbing up, going into
the chrysalis state. So | do not ex.
pect to see them eat up the cotton
until the second crop, which will
make its appearance in about two
weeks, and If there comes rain In
that time sufficient to start second
growth in the cotton we will see more
of these worms than we have seen at
any one time in twenty or more years
If they are allowed to come this year
in such destructive numbers we may
reasonably expect to see them in suf'
ficient numbers next year to destroy
| the crop as early as July 1, in case
we have rains in the latter part OF
June.
| have heard several farmers say
that they would not poison their cot
ton because if 1t rains enough to make
second crop that the boil weevil
will eat it up and their expenses for
poisoning will be thrown away Now
the proposition is this: Had we not
better spend few dollars this year
H poisoning and Graduating the
worm than to have the same thing to
contend with next year and run great
risk of having the whole crop de-
stroyed? twenty-five years ago and
back of that for forty or more years
we did not expect anything but to
have the cotton entirely eaten up by
August and sometimes earlier. until
it was discovered that the worms
could be poisoned and after they were
.lpoisoned for few years we were not
bothered with them any more to
amount to anything until last year
they made their appearance. but not
in sufficient numbers to do great
damage and from what | have seen
and the data that | have been able
to get, we will have the largest crop
of them that we have had in years,
and we can reasonably expect to have
them in greatly increased numbers
next year.
SO | would appeal to the farmers
everywhere to poison their cotton
wherever the worm makes his APP
pearance, and if there comes rain
1--we will stand a chance to make top
crop; and one thing sure that will
pay for the expense, we will help to
eradicate the worm so as to prevent
his temperance next year.
Respectfully,
A. W. Buchanan.
