Social Centers.

The crying need of rural Wy
oming is social centers where our
young people can be entertained,
amused and instructed under the
direction of cultured, clean and
competent leadership, where aes-
thetic surroundings stir the love
for the beautiful; where art charg-
es the atmosphere with inspira-
ton and power, and innocent
amusements instruct and brighten
their lives.
To hold our young people on
the farm we must make farm life
more attractive, as well as the
business of farming more remun-
erative. The school house should
be the social unit, properly equip
ped for nourishing and building
character, 80 that the lives of our
people can properly function
around it and become supplied
with the necessary elements Of
human thought and activity.

Denver Road.

The practicability of a daylight
.,n nv autumt bile from Steam
q boat springs to Denver has been
demonstrated. A party of resi-
n dents from Steamboat Springs,
n Craig, Hayden and other points
4 in nortbwestern Colorado has ac-
complished the trip in fourteen
bours. Leaving Steamboat Fri
4 dav at 6 a. m, the first of the par
ty arrived in Denver at 8 p. m.
the same day.
The route followed the new for
sst service road over Rabbit Ear
nsss for a distance of twelve miles,
then over the old road along Park
range, striking the Midland trail
at Kremmling. The trip is said
to have been made primarily for
the purpose of trying out the new
link in the Rabbit Ear road across
the continental divide within the
Routt national forest. This por-
ton of the road was constructed
by the forest service in coopefa.
ton with the state and Routt
county.
According to forestry officials
of Denver, the road engineer of
the forest service now has a party
on the ground making final survey
of the remaining portion of the
highway leading through the for
est which is to be built in cooper
alton with Grand and jackson
counties. 1t is expected that the
entire road will be completed in
another year.
On the ballot at the election
this fall will appear a proposition
to levy mill taxes ON the county
of Carbon to build a road from
the city of Encampment to Steam
boat to connect with the line from
that point to Denver. We are
pleased to see this activity, and
with the cooperation of the forest
service we will soon have one of
the finest drives from Saratoga to
Encampment, Steamboat and Dem
yer, that the western country can
boast of. This road will be a turn
pike from Encsmpment clear
through to Denver, and by max
ing the trip via Steamboat and
back by Laramie and Mountain
Home, we will have a beautiful
drive and a trip long enough to
satisfy most anyone, and one
which will show more scenery,
hunting and fishing to the mile
than any other ten roads in the
world.
DON'T forget to mark your bal
lot in favor of the road tax. The
time has come when we must get
out of the rut and build roads like
other counties and states, and get
IN line. We have hundreds of
miles of outing territory, which
would be the mecca of pleasure
seekers if We but had the roads to
travel over Our natural roads
are good, bnt we must make them
INTO a wear-resisting, moisture
shedding condition that they may
withstand any and all uses of all
vehicles, and where we spend a
dollar in road construction, il
should be- a monument to that dol
lar visible for many years. The
DAY OF temporary work is gone
The slogan among the live people
now is Good Roads," Give them
To us and We will travel far and
learn the way of our neighbor.

Color Line
Drawn Against
British Subjects

the question raised by the Cana-
dian authorities, therefore, affects
some 344,O77, ,91O colored and black
British subjects residing in the
West Indies, the Australian, Asia
and Africa.
The East Indians are the most
numerous, being 30O,O00,00O.
How most safely to rule them has
slong beer one of the most difficult
and troublesome questions in Brit
ish politics, the conquest of the
country having been begun in 1857
and completed in 1877. Many of
the people are very wealthy, and
of late years many of them have
developed great learning and ln-
augurated movements for better
conditions of government and ma
tive opportunity that the British
authorities consider it not polite
nor safe to concede, independence
being the ultimate purpose of the
native people. There are in Africa
81, ,954 900 black and colored sub
jects, not including Egypt, and
some l ,467, 900 in the British West
Indies.
The black and colored subjects
of Great Britain are ruled by the
small white minority and taxed to
the finest point for the benefit of
the home government and not of
the colonies, which derive the
smallest possible benefit and ad-
vantage from the government of
their white overlords.
In all the British colonies a
restlessness has begun to mani.
fest itself, as the result of modern
education and inventions of all
sorts, mainly steam navigation and
electrical communication. Great
and far reaching native movements
and changes in government and
taxation may be expected within
the next fifty years, as the people
have become too wise to submit
longer tamely to alien rule and ex-
ploitation. The point the Hindus
have determined to test in Canada
is of worldwide importance and
significance to the black and col
ored people of America, Asia and
Africa.

of 635.013,559. 900 possible hands. AS

Vancouver, B. c., May 10
Work has been received here that
the steamer Komagata Maru,
which sailed recently from Shang-
hal with 500 Hindus on board, is
expected to reach Victoria on Fri
day of this week. The steamer
Was chartered especially by a
wealthy Hindu with view to test
ing the Canadian laws which have
hitherto been invoked to bar out
Hindus. The arrival of the steam
er is said to be awaited with con-
siderable anxietp at Ottawa. The
hackers of the movement, it is
said, have abundance of money and
vigorous effort will be made to
force the Dominion to allow the
British subjects from India to en-
ter freely into Canada.
"Orders have been sent by pro-
viucial authorities to the immi-
grafton authorities at Victoria not
to allow the Hindus to land. I'm
migration officials say they can
stop the entry of Hindus on two
grounds. They will first invoke
the order in Council which was
passed on April l, prohibiting the
entrance of artisans and laborers
into Canada for a period of six
months. If the Hindus evade this
order by establishing that they are
not artisans or laborers, the au-
thorities will use the law which
prohibits the entrance into Cana
ola of Orientals except by direct
passage from the country Of their
nativity. The present steamer, it
is said, did not sail directly from
India, but from Shanghai"
The entire population of the
British Empire is estimated to be

NO COLOR LINE FOR
EMOTIONS AS
NEGROES SING

Evening Journal, Dallas Expressly
Three hundred Negro voices,
cultivated" and "uncultivated, ,"
blended their rich native African
tones in program of ancient and
modern Negro music last night
at the Fair Park Coliseum, which
delighted and charmed an audience
of about 1900 people, white and
black, in the first Negro folk
song' festival ever attempted in
this part of the South.
Native racial musical tendencies
were not 'tampered with" by the
director, E. Azalia Hackley of
Philadelhia, according to her own
statement The real Negro music
of the plantation 40 de wah" in
the South was taken in its native
state, tutored carefully and direct
ed with a rare understanding of
! the Negro and his musical tastes
in such way that from the open
ing words of the folk song. ."There's
a Meetin' Here Tonight" to the
last words of Dixie" as joined in
by all, emotions that knew no color
line surged in 5000 Southern
breasts, both black and white.
On the left side of the Coliseum,
reserved for white patrons, hun
dreds of gray, haired Southern Ia
dies and gentlemen, survivors of
the peerless era of Southern civil
zation before the '60s, listened
with fearful eyes at the sweet Ne
gro melodies that took them back
on memory's wings to the days
when the faithful black body-ser-
want stood guard over his "Mistus'
and his "Mastah's stuff" during
that long fight of brothers.
On the right, reserved for Ne
groes, vast ebony sea of faces
were raised in admiration for sue
cess of the Negro race in this effort
toward better things. Old "Un-
cles," who might have stepped
from one of ''Marse" Joel Chand-
ler Harris stories, walked proudly
to seats ushered by young Negro
boys of the Dallas Negro High
School, under whose auspices the
program was given, material-took-
ing old BLACK Mammies" sat
proudly but uneasily under the
glare of the great lights and in a
contrast that spoke in thundorous
tones of racial Transition; in the
boxes on the right were Negro
men and women almost es white as
the audience on the left.
On the stage 300 "dressed-up"
Negroes, scared to death of stage
fright at first, sang straight out to
the hearts of white and black.
"Sister Riddeln was there. SIS
ter Riddell is the one who led the
song, Lord, 1 Want to Be Chris
tlan," when Gipsy Smith preached
to Negroes, She was introduced
last night as a composer, as we'll as
a song leader. She led that song
again last night and the rhythm of
it will linger in every hearers
