the board questioned her an hour and

TALKS FIVE MINUTES.
Telephone Company Lengthens Time.
Social Calls Responsible.

Denver, Colo, March 81 An
nouncement made today by officials
of the Mountain States Telephone &
Telegraph company of a change in
its "two-number" toll service will af-
feet many of the cities and towns in
its territory. This change increases
the time limit allowed on "two-num-
ber" calls from three to five minutes,
but does not increase the cost.
This "two-number" service was in
augurated about two years ago, and
according to the company has become
very popular with the telephone-using
public
The change was made" said a
company official today, because of
the great demand for the service. A
couple of years ago this service was
inaugurated in many parts of the ter
ritory where a community of interests
prevailed between exchanges that
were reasonably close together, hav-
ing a considerable volume of business,
but were connected to our long dis
tance system. 1t was felt that under
these conditions an express service
could be furnished at cheaper rate.
the saving being in the fact that our
operator would not have to look up
numbers. The service Immediately
became popular and has continued So
Over 40 per cent. on this 'two-num-
ber' service is confined to social calls
made by the fair sex, and this per-
haps has been the underlying cause
for our change from three to five min
utes. Four minutes and nine seconds
is the average length of these calls,
while the average business talk is
something under three minutes. No
change is to be made in the rate
A large delegation of representative
people met at the Offices of the Colo

A DIFFERENCE IN FEELING.

The best protection that can be
given to the race by it's members is
the keeping of a silent tongue, unless
one knows how to speak and the pro-
per thing at the right time to speak
about. A great many men who have
access to newspaper columns do more
harm by hot-headed, thoughtless wall
ipgs than they do good. A marked
difference Is shown in two let
ters which are supposed to have beeA
open letters to President Wilson. One
letter is published in white paper
in North Carolina known as the Yel
low Jacket, and signed by r. P. W.
Stekeleather, in which that southern
rebel takes offense at Mr.. Wilson for
not ousting all the Republicans al
once and filing their places with
Democrats, whether they are capable
men or not, just as long as they are
Democrats. The letter itself is a dis
grace and shows that it was writer
by a pin-head who has received his
education and training in the rear enc
of a saloon Lack of space prevents
us from publishing the letter in full
but give Just a short paragraph:
Woodrow Wilson, President of the
United States.
"Mr. President: If you think that
your conduct in refusing to distribute
the offices to the Democrats who
worked faithfully for your election is
going to help the Democratic party
YOU are not the man of intelligence
the people thought you were. have

federal Offices makes me feel like an
unappreciated ass"
In contrast we invite our readers
to read the open letter to Mr.. Wilson
published in the March issue of the
Crisis. The letter bears all the ear
marks of being the works of a mas
ter mind, one of culture and intellect.
And l earnestly believe that Mr.. Will
son, upon the receipt of same, will
lend a listening ear and feel that he
has been addressed by gentleman,
and as he handles the reigns of gov
ernment, when it becomes time to
pull the one controlling the Negroes
destiny, he will turn in his saddle and
peruse the contents of this letter be-
fore giving a final pull. A small par
agraph is printed herewith:
True as this is, we would not be
misunderstood. We do not ask or ex-
pect special consideration or treat
ment for our franchises. We did not
vote for you and your party because
you represented our best judgment.
1t was not because we loved Demo
Gratis more. but Republicans less and
Roosevelt least, that led to DUR action.
Calmly reviewing our action we are
glad of it. 1t was step toward po-
litical independence, and it was help
ing to put into power a man who has
today the power to become the great
est benefactor of his country since
Abraham Lincoln"
we regret the inability of printing
the entire letter. BE your own Judge
of the vast difference in the minds
of the writer's. C. E. l..

Honest differences of opinion, held
and expressed with view to public
good, should hurt nobody. They are
wholesome. They constitute one of
the most valuable assets of progress
sive and public-spirited people.
The Negro who believes that race
caste and oppression by discrimina-
tory laws will make his people ad-
vance ought to be sent where there
is plenty of it-for instance, the con-
vict labor camps in the South. Colo
rado is no place for him and he is
out of place in Colorado.
The Denver star., 1913-03-22
THE NEGRO FARMER.

The census reports thus far issued
show in regard to agricultural condl-
tions in the South two things: FIRST,
in both the South Atlantic and South
Central states the value of farm
lands and farm buildings has consld-
erably more than doubled. They have
increased in the South Atlantic states
from s1,2O5,35O,0OO in 1900 to $2,O72,-
$4,000, and in 1910 it was $4,S37 ,353,-
600, an increase of $2,164, 6S1, 900.
Second, during this time the number
of farms has steadily increased, show
ing that the plantations are breaking
up and the era of the small farmer
has arrived, while during the same
period the number of Negro land own
ers has increased more rapidly than
the number of white land owners
This certainly looks as if the Negro
in the South was not going back
ward, despite the adverse conditions,
and no matter how much the planters
howl about Negro labor. To the Colo
RADIO Negro who wants to become in
dependent soon, we say, you must
own your own land before you can
own your own business or banks. Inc
basis of all wealth is the land. Take
I'M or buy government land while ii
is within your reach, for in the very
near future it will be out of your
reach and the reach of every ordinary
man. Don't put it off by procrastinat
ing. DO it today. The vast vacant
lands of Colorado need new blood tC
develop it. Write and interest your
friends to come and develop Colorado
where protection, peace and prosper
ity offer advance and comfort to you
