The Colorado statesman., 1912-09-21

Our sympathies go out to the people
or Haiti In the latest calamity that
has befallen them. The national pal
ace was destroyed by gunpowder
explosion, when President Cincinnatus
LIE Conte and many palace attendants
were killed and some 400 people were
Injured. 1t appears that President LIE
Conte had stored large quantities of
explosives and arms in the cellars of
the palace to be in readiness for
war with his neighbor, Santo Domin-
go. Just across the border, which, 1t
was expected. would break out at any
moment. The belief is general that
an enemy Of the president set slow
match to the magazine and thus got
rid OF the president, the national pal
ace and the precious magazine in
one grand explosion.
The presidents of Haiti have a hard
time to get the office. and harder
time to keep It.. Most of them die
with their boots on, by the act of an
assassin, some fee from mob soldier
wrath and die in exile, often in pow
erty, and some are blown up. 1t does
not appear by the record to be very
desirable Job to have. and yet there
is always long line of men waiting
and plotting their turn at 1t. A roll
call Of the presidents of Haiti dur
ing the past century reads as SOL
emnly and mournfully as THE Death
March in Saul" Already there are
plots and rumors of revolution all
the way from Port-au-Prince to Paris.
by way of st. Thomas and Jamaica,
by men ambitious to succeed Presi-
dent LIE Conte. There is no hope for
the future and stability of Haiti while
it is governed by revolution and the
impulse to revolution. 1t needs peace
full administration in order to devel-
op its splendid resources of field, mine
and forest, and to educate It's children
at home instead of In France for the
work of construction at home. Can 1t
have such administration and educa-
ton? We hope 30, but there is nothing
in the history of Haiti to Justify the
hope.-New York Age.

Coon songs have invaded musical
circles in Germany. and rag time Is
giving battle to the classical selections
of Wagner. 1t is peculiar how negro
music is claiming the affections of
music lovers the world over
The Colorado statesman., 1912-09-21

The Charleston Is. c. Messenger is
untiring in its outspoken attitude on
all vital questions affecting our peo-
pie. This excellent weekly newspa-
per has been doing what 1t could to
champion the cause of the oppressed
and the unfortunate for nearly 28
years. Like old wine it is constantly
improving with age.

The death of DR.. r. F. Boyd of Nash

Thanks to the fair and broad-mind-
ed stand taken by President W. p.
Motley of the hospital and health
board, and Health Commissioner W..
s. Wheeler. negro internes will be re-
tanned at the old city hospital in Kan
sas City. which was remodeled at the
expense of s15 400 and turned over to
the colored citizens OF Kansas City
last year The hospital has visiting
staff of colored and white physicians
and surgeons. and although known as
a colored institution, an effort was
made to displace negro internes by
white ones.
The Colorado statesman., 1912-09-21

The st. Luke 'Herald's editorial COM
ment on Howard uniysrsity's new
president is this: 80, Howard uni
versity has another white preacher
for president" from which we infer
that this sprightly little weekly of
Richmond, Va. is among the working
number of negroes who are saying
aloud that they prefer negro laymen
with experience in our educational
affairs to head our foremost institu-
tions of learning.

be serious proportion Of loss in all
road ventures that are laid out on an
inaccurate basis.
Therefore, by reason of the close
relation of good roads to agricultural
development, the executive officers of
the Southern Commercial Congress de-
cided that as part of the great meeting

county officials in charge of road ex-
penditures and road betterment should
be invited. This invitation is going to
the board of supervisors in 300 coun-
ties, in order that these public-spirited
men, who frequently give their serv-
ices without personal reward, may
come together in conference for prac-
tical discussion as to road construc-
ton, campaigns for raising road funds,
and the legislation needed for State
highway betterment

Real Estate Conference

As the South has many millions of
acres of vacant land, and as there is
coming into existence a turning of agri,
culturists toward the South as region
of opportunity, il becomes increasingly
important that real estate transactions
be made easy and safe At various
points in the South, real estate ex-
changes have been brought into exist
ence, thus enabling those who would
purchase lands to come into touch with
organizations that protect both the buy
er and the seller.
As there is ample room for a spread
OF this valuable effort on the part OF
leading real estate men, the executive
officers invited S. S. Thorpe, president
of the National Association of Real
Estate Exchanges, Minneapolis, MINI,
to preside over a real estate confer
