AFRO-AMER|CAN CULL|NCS

If one of three Negro boys can't ride
the animal, that horse will not see
service in the allies cavalry The
BRUSH government, which continues
puying horses at the Kansas City
STOCK yards, says nothing about Ne
groes In its horse contracts, but un'
der the clause well broken" the Brit
lsh inspectors have to see the horse
rldden, and it is up to the man sell
ing the horse to supply riders. There
Iore 1t falls to Negro cutters at the
morse barns to supply the nerve
touch" required by the British.
Sambo, Pete. Jake one day, it may
be Fred, "Willum," or "Toots" the
next. 1t makes little difference what
their last names are. They are heroes
among their fellow beings, and in ad
dition to the receipt of three to five
dollars a day, by risking their necks
oftener they may get tip from the
boss.
The firm handling the horses has
tried cowboys and circus riders, but
because riders are not allowed sad
dies real cowboys pass up the job
The uncertain gait and movements OF
the horses soon discourage the cir
Gus riders. But the Negro boys stick.
An alley $50 feet long, lanked by
high board fences and brick paving
underneath, may be the horses last
run in America. Horse and Sambo
are at one end, the inspector at the
other
Ready" calls the ring master, and
Sambo goes in the air, alights like a
spring clothespin on a new rope line.
The horse may go all right, and then
he may go both ways at once, but If
he passes up and down the alley twice
without displacing his jibsail he goes
to the British.
The British government has accept
ed 5,1O0 horses at the Kansas City
stock yards barn. The animals had
all been measured, tested for sight
and soundnes, and the bulk of them
ridden by colored boys.
Most of them had been given the
"Mallein' test for glanders. D. II. B.
Adair and his assistants in Kansas
City of TIL, United States bureau of
animal industry, applied that test to
1870 horses. during September, and
1000 more are at Lathrop, Mo-, await
ing the test. The government test for
Slanders is free of charge.
After the rider has discharged his
duty the horse is turned to the brand
ers and when he gets through, there
is an arrow on the shoulder, and
number on the hoof. The horse is
Britisher.

Odd Fellows Celebrate Anniversary.

Denver.-With an attendance esti
mated at 5000, the Independent Order
of Odd Fellows celebrated the fiftieth
anniversary of the founding of the
Colorado branch of the organization in

Robert T. Daniel of Georgia, grand

at public meeting held in the Audi
torium.
The grand encampment opened on
Monday and the grand lodge con-
vened on Tuesday fog three day ses-
sions. The Rebekah assembly, the
woman's auxiliary, was in session dur
ing the same days.
An interesting feature of the con-
vention was the competition for prizes
valued at $500 between drill teams
representing five Colorado lodges. The
drills were held at the Broadway base
ball park.

In the Hampton Trade school, and,
indeed, in other departments, a stu
dent is rated for speed, accuracy, judg.
ment, initiative, earnestness, neatness,
responsibility and conduct. OF course
all of these factors do not receive the
same weight, but they do form the
basis for judging individuals. Hampton
applies, in it's daily routine, the COM
mon tests of everyday life used in the
outside world where men and women
must stand or fall according to the
standards which they attain in their
work.
Learning by doing, turning dsad-
vantages into advantages, making the
best use of ones resources-these are
some of the fundamentals in the
Hampton idea of education. Service
and self-sacrifice form the core of the
Hampton training. Results in good
citizenship and safe leadership char
acterize Hampton's work.

DoNS GARB OF PRISON FOR LIFE
TERM AT CANON CITY.
Slayer of Sylvester Won Phul and
George E. Copeland Appears More
Cheerful as He Begins Sentence.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Canon City, Colo.-Convict No. 951S,
as Harold Frank Henwood will now
be known until his death under his
sentence of life Imprisonment, donned
his prison clothes, had his head
shaved and entered upon the daily
routine of prison life.
The man who slew Sylvester
CTony") Won Phul and George E.
Copeland in the Brown Palace bar
room, Denver, on the night of May
through the process by which his le-
gal name became 931S.
The relief at Governor Ammons'
commutation of the death sentence
imposed for the murder of Copeland
to one of life Imprisonment is still evi-
dent in his bearing. He already has
relaxed from the strain he was under
during the three and one-half years
spent in the Denver county jail.
When Henwood was taken from the
train here in the custody of Deputy
Sheriffs Arnett, Thompson and Pol
lard, he took deep breath.
"The air is finei" he said. "It's
much better than at the county jail"
IN automobiles, carriages and on
foot, hundreds of curious people lined
the way to the penitentiary to catch
glimpse of the man soon to be-
come No. 931S, but the officers
eluded the throng by using the side
streets.
In Denver only two friends ap-
peared to bid Henwood goodbye
John 7. Bottom, his attorney, and
Mrs. Thomas McCue, widow of the
Democratic leader who aided Henwood
stanchly.

n GRAVE INJUSTICE

Do those who advocate the abb
solute prohibition of the manufac-
ture and sale of all alcoholic
liquors realize the seriousness OF
the social and economic crisis that
would be precipitated by such leg
islationY Are they aware Of the
fact that the heads of families ag-
gregating probably not less than
three million people would sud
denly be deprived of their sole
means of livelihood, and that
properties valued in the aggregate
at perhaps two billion dollars
would as suddenly become worth
less2
1t is doubtful if they do fully
realize this, yet these are figures
given by no less a writer than
DR.. Henry Smith Williams in an
article in the Ladies Home Jour
nal" reviewing the prohibition

movement. And he adds: "Per-
sonally | am at loss to under
stand how anyone who has the
slightest grasp of economic ques-
tions can contemplate with equa-
nimity the anarchistic possibilities
nay, which reveal
themselves through the slightest
use of the imagination in connec
ton with these figures. To me, at
least, it seems obvious that the
only thing which has kept the pro-
hibition movement before the peo-
pie of the United States is the
simple fact that prohibition does
not prohibit.
Thinking men and women who
seek the truth and are unswayed
by prejudice, and who give the
foregoing facts the consideration
they deserve, cannot escape like
conclusion.

that he was able to obtain a common

years thereafter he acted as his own
salesman, travelling through New Eng
land and Canada selling his instru-

he embarked in the manufacture OF
pianos and organs. His business grew
rapidly, and at the time of his death,
in 1890, it was the largest of its kind
