THE TERM "NEGRO."
How It 10 Defined by the Statutes Of
Various States.

Various states define the term NE
gro" in various ways. This fact is
cleaned from the Negro Year Book
the direction of Monroe N Work, in
charge of research and records into
and of his race.
The statutes of Kentucky, Maryland
Mississippi. North Carolina, Tennessee
and Texas assert that "a person OF
color" is one who is descended from a
Negro to the third generation, inclu-
siye. though one ancestor in each gen.
Grafton may have been white. Accord.
ing to the law of Alabama one is "a
person of color" who has had any Ne
gro blood in his ancestry for FIVE gen.
erations.
In Michigan, Nebraska and Oregon
one is not legally Negro who has less
than one-fourth Negro blood in his
veins. In Florida. Georgia, Indiana,
Missouri and South Carolina "a person
of color is one who has as much as
one-eighth Negro blood. In Virginia
Negro is one who has one-slxteenth
or more Negro blood.
The constitution of Oklahoma reads:
whenever in this constitution or in
the laws of the state the word or
words .colored race or Negro or
Negro race are used, the same shall
be construed to mean or to apply to all
persons Of African descent. The term
white shall include all other persons"
In Arkansas persons of color" in
clude all who have visible and dis
other states of the Union have no
statutes defining the term Negro"
Thus it would seem that a Negro in
one state is not always a Negro in an
other. These and many other facts
regarding the progress and develop
ment. present and past status. of the
Negro race. are found collected in the
Negro Year Book.

PIERPoNT MORGAN.

That Mr. j. Pierpont Morgan is
dead admits of no doubt; that his sys-
tenn is dead is room for doubt; but
that his methods have been outgrown
by the commerce and democracy of
this country, there can be but little
doubt. And yet Mr.. Morgan was a
great man, left a rich legacy to the
world because of his indomitable will
and force of character. If judged by
his words and works, he stands
among the greatest of American COM
mercial and industrial empire build
ers-if not the greatest of all. He be-
lieved little in individualism where
combinations could be made and con-
centration centered and crystalized,
so he welded together individuals for
his own purpose and then dominated
over both big and little men. He cas-
lily and early scented bargains
through varying conditions, garner
ing fortunes and building up business
es by absorbing profits from the
growth of new and undeveloped in
dustry. Such man would have been
prominent factor to be reckoned
with in any walk of life and in any
country, but it required young Amer
ica, with all of her vast and undevel-
make a Morgan as the world knew
him, just as it took the background
(conditions) of the French revolution
to make a Napoleon and the chaotic
and undeveloped opportunities in
South Africa to make a Cecil Rhodes.
A Pierpont Morgan can and will come
out OF the Negro race, only when
some individual is willing to become
a pioneer in new and undeveloped
country, as Liberia, South America,
Cuba, Philippines, etc, and with the
Morgan methods, aims and manipula-
tions, he can easily become a giant
captain of industry, finance and COM
merce.
If the Negroes in Colorado in gen.
eral and in Denver in particular,
have ever dreamed or desired to have
industrial, agricultural, commercial
and trade enterprises among them,
they must certainly start from the
ground floor with members and then
create such conditions as would be
conducive of that desire. AS it is
now, Colorado and Denver need more
new Negroes, thrifty and with capital
to make Industrious farmers, and the
business men will follow as a result
of the production and distribution of
the farm products. Denver business
and professional men would not only
have topend upon Denver people for
support, but could look also to the
farmers of the outside counties. build
up Colorado with Negro farmers
while land is easy to get and access
ible in location, and especially while
80 many fiattering conditions are ia
vorable.
