FINE DEFINITION OF CULTURE
Somewhat Rare Possession About as
Valuable as II Is Given to HUI
mainly to Acquire.
What is culture?

What is culture?
First, what is it not? It is not
anything one may put on. 1t is not
fine manners, fashionable clothes,
correct speech, nor skill in the
tricks of p%oliUeness. 1t is not "know-
ing how to enter . room properly"
nor slipping soup from the side of
the spoon, nor using the right fork,
nor having the art of saying pretty
nothings. Neither is it knowledge
of books, not acquaintance with the
last comic opera or play, not having
read the latest novel. 1t is not know
ing Greek, Latin and English litera-
ture, nor any other mind-stuf. One
may be perfect in all these things
and be a cad. These arts and accom-
plishments have their value, but it
is not culture value.
What is culture?
1t is the harmonious, healthy de-
velopment of ones personality.
1t means a brain developed until
it thinks clearly, the will until it
acts properly and stands firm, and
the feelings until they minister to
life, not destroy it.
Culture is simply skill in using
ones self. It is opposed to awkward
ness, stumbling, bungling and the
like.
1t is not good against bad, right
eousness as against sin, nor morality
as against immortality; it is high as
against low, fine as against coarse

NO IMPROVEMENT.

AT the time OF going to press the
election is not yet over. However, il
seems certain that it will be con.
Quoted amid marked apathy on the
part of voters. 1t is our first under
the initiative and referendum, and if
it is a fair sample of the rest, the
change from representative govern
ment to direct legislation will not be
the cure for the evils of which much
has been said, because the people will
not participate generally in govern
ment now any more than formerly.
The champions of the new era may
talk about their pet schemes, claiming
whatever advantages they wish, but
measured in the operation, with fair
ness and common sense, they lack
much of making good.
AS we pointed out last week, the
vote on the telephone franchise will
be the expression of the buyer to have
the smallest price set on what he
buys. Yet the voter would not have
his service treated to similar reduc-
ton. The result will be that legisla-
tion will reflect sentiment rather than
reason, Inconsistencies will be un-
avoidable and injustice will be the
portion of the weak.

On Tuesday evening Mr.. and Mrs
| Victor Walker were hosts at an an
| nouncement dinner, that being the
occasion on which they first made
public the engagement of Their
laughter, Miss Irene, and Ned
o Banion of Colorado Springs Ru-
NOR has proclaimed the fact before
in a whisper, and so the announce
ment found the guests in a degree
prepared to receive it. All the world
loves a lover, and nature seems to
pause to pay homage to the bride-tO-
be. In some such spirit of goodwill
the occasion and the participants Were
in unison. This was Denvers frs
announcement dinner, a social form
much in vogue in older communities,
and it was in every detail worthy OF
,-4e happiness it portends, and of the
young people whose future it In
volved.
Miss Walker is a Nebraska Colo
rado product Her twenty years
have been larely spent in the former
state, though the finishing of her
education is divided between Colo
RADIO and Washington, she having AT
tended Howard university up until
the verge of graduation. Then al
attack of illness intervened, which
caused her to return home. Here she
has remained. having fallen victim
in the meanwhile to the arrows OF
the little god of love. In appearance
she is tall and striking. A natural
sunny disposition has been enhanced
with ample social attainments so tha
she is an adornment to any society
While many favors and much atten-
tion has been shown her, she has re
mained the same lovable, simple
hearted girl, the apple of her fathers
eye and her mothers joy.
Mr. OBanion, the cavalier who has
tilted with all competitors and won,

Speaking OF him the Topeka Plain

where he received the thirtythird

YOUR SINS WILL FIND YOU OUT.

In an issue of Pueblo paper there
appears a call for the meeting OF
committee to investigate the Negro
Industrial School OF that city. The
call is made in the name of the mod
orator of the State Baptist Associa-
ton. The need of such investigation
appeared sufficient to the executive
board of the association.
This is the school which has been
the excuse for the activities of
Messrs Allen and Harris of Pueblo,
the pair who are behind the bill for
state Appropriation for a separate
school of the industrial kind. Since
this investigation has been set going
over a telephone Mr.. Allen has made
known to one of the committee his
willingness to be investigated but
was sorry to say that the school was
closed just at present and could not
be investigated handily.
A year ago when this paper made
an attempt to find its exact status, it
was out of condition to be investigat-
ed. Notwithstanding its inability to
sit up and take nourishment then,
and now, it has been a lusty scEcCl

1t is high time that Negroes who
have smattering of book learning
should realize that cunning is not
creditable to them nor profitable in
the long run. Honest purpose is
needed in addition to hought to

Other ladies making very interest

Miss Fitzpatrick rendered two vocal

read by Mrs. Kerr completed the very
excellent program. Mesdames Civ
