MR.. HARPER, PLEASE ExPLAIN!

On Wednesday night of this week
there was advertised an entertain
ment to be at Eureka hall, to have
been given for the benefit of the col
ored school run by Messrs. Allen and
Harris in Pueblo. l. H. Harper OF
this city was advertised to be in
charge of it and the Mariposa Glee
Club was to have been the entertain
ers, so the placards said. But those
who went to the hall, even those who
went early, found it placarded with
a notice to the effect that the enter
tainment was postponed, so says
member of the Glee Club. Inquiry
developed the fact that the club was
to have been paid from the proceeds
SO that by postponement the astute
Ike saved the cost of the entertain
ment. 1t happens that for some time
he has been active in the sale OF
tickets at soc apiece, the buyers be-
ing the members Of the legislature
and other white citizens found in the
state house, where he now makes his
hangout Up to date no one reports
rain checks given, nor money re-
funded.

STORY OF PROGRESS SOUTH.
How Ben Brown Rose From Road Hand
to Landowner

How Ben Brown Rose From Road Hand
to Landowner.
The Afro-American farmers are
writing with large and powerful hands
over the red and black lands of the
south the story of progress in land
ownership, homemaking and church
building. They are entering more and
more fully into the heritage of land
rich in possibilities.
They are finding that as cotton is
for the present the core of economic
life so is the rural school the center
and heart of the new and broader so
cial life. Even from the humblest and
poorest country school the people are
daily receiving lessons of social serv-
ice
These lessons are taught by conse-
trained by Hampton and similar
schools to give themselves unreserved-
ly to the people. The farmers are the
men of struggle and victory, who have
made the southern soil produce more
profitable crops and have thereby laid
an important part of the foundation
for an improved rural life, as express
ed in better schools, homes and
churches.

Chiffon county, Ala. recently, Benja-
min Brown said:

CENTRAL BAPTIST SUNDAY
SCHOOL.

On account of the special meetings
held at our church last week there
was no teachers meeting, the teach
ers assisting in the praise services
that evening. Our meeting was well
attended this week, Rev. Price teach
ing, and as is his custom, always
leaves lasting impression on his
hearers. Under the direction of Mr..
Hardy, assistant superintendent, and
Mrs. Jackson, the Junior choir is
making preparations for an elaborate
Easter program. The young folks
are working hard to make this the
best program ever rendered at Cen

THANKS TO THE NEWS.

On Saturday of last week there ap-
peared in the Rocky Mountain News
an article about separate schools in
Colorado which was SO well put, so
logical and so great-hearted, that the
colored citizens of Colorado are
under a debt of gratitude to that pa
per and it's owner, Senator Patterson,
for their defense of human rights.
1t happens that Senator Patterson
has distinguished himself before in
our defense, a notable instance be-
ing his defense of the Negro soldiers
from Roosevelt's judicial lynching,
while the matter was up before the
United States Senate. In the face OF
his party and in opposition to the
strenuous president, he maintained
their rights. So while his position
now on separate schools is in keep
ing with his record, it is such a
grateful difference from the plastic
catering of the majority of leading
citizens that it is pleasing beyond
our ability to express. We thank
him and trust to be worthy of his
interest.

here to pay our tribute of respect to

the loss of our brother Albert Morris

faithful and active service in our

Sunday School, exemplary in his en-
thusiasm and consistent in his de-
pertinent. We considered him a fine
type of Christian manhood and COM

fest in his life to the members of
his Sunday School class and to all
young people who are ambitious to
accomplish what is really worth
while in life.
In behalf of the Sunday School, we

cordial support in this hour OF grief,

to care not only for their temporary
griefs but for their immortal souls.

live in a segregated black district, but
this region Of Negro homes is almost
invariably the one in which vice is toll
Grated by the police. That is, the seq
regation of the Negro quarter is only
segregation from respectable white
people. The disreputable white ele-
ment is forced upon him.
"In no part Of Chicago, not even in
the ghetto, was there found whole

dated as the black belt on the south
side. No other group suffered SO much

this extreme dilapidation, but he pays
a heavy cost in the form Of high rent.
In crowded immigrant neighborhoods
in different parts of the city the me-
dium rental for the prevailing four
room apartment was between IS and
$3.50; in South Chicago, near the steel
mills, 1t was between 50 and $3.50, and
in the Jewish quarter between $40 and
$1O5O was charged. But in the great
black belt of the south side the sum
exacted was between S12 and $3.50.
"Most people stand for fair play.
Those friends of the Negro who have
tried to understand the conditions of
life as he faces them are very familiar
with these facts. But it is hoped that
those who have been ignorant Of the
heavy costs paid in decent family life
for the ancient prejudice that persists
among us will refuse to acquiesce in
its continuance when the facts are
brought home to them.'
