the various plants. the cost of develop
ment per horsepower, and the annual

ALL SHE ASKED.

"The late Justice Harlan" said a
Washington lawyer, was an advocate
of temperance in eating, in drinking,
in the use of tobacco, In all things.
Justice Harlan, praising temper
ance at a lawyers banquet, once told
story about a young wife who said
to her husband:
Jack, dear, l do wish you'd stop
drinking! Every time you go to one
of these banquets of yours you get up
the next morning pale and tired; you
won't eat anything; you Just guip
down nine or ten glasses of water.
Do stop drinking, won't you, dear? 1
know it's bad for you
"'But all great men have been
drinking men, Jack grumbled. Look
at Webster; look at Poe; look at
Charles Lamb; look
"Well,' interrupted his wife, you
Just promise, dear, that you'll quit
drinking till you're great and I'll be
satisfied. ."-Washington Star.
The Colorado statesman., 1912-02-24

Dr. Washington clearly shows that
the negroes are not dying out. His
analysis of the preliminary statement
issued by the director of the census is
most convincing. The negroes have
increased IL per cent. during the last
decade while the white people have in
creased about Is per cent The compar-
ison may be disadyantageous to the
negro when viewed as a comparison
simply, but much of this disadvantage
disappears when the large number of
white immigrants and their natural in
crease for the decade is considered.
Making all suitable deductions, 1t will
not be found that the native whites eX-
elusive of the immigrant have in
creased in numbers disproportionately
with the negro. So far the showing is
good. But when 1t comes to the sum-
ming up of totals for the nation the
negro is found to be a decreasing rath-
er than an increasing element This
fact will a"suredly rob many of our
orators of their thunder and may
eventually solve all the negro's prob
lens by the engulfing power of over
whelming numbers. The negro must
get busy il he would keep his numeri-
cal place in American life.-Southern
Ploughman.
The Colorado statesman., 1912-02-24

The colored man is waking up to
the fact that God helps those who
help themselves. He has discovered
