greater respect for themselves. 1t
is not a onesided question by any
means. 1t is quite frequent that
women even lead in course, bois-

such act offsets the refinement of

it is the exception which breaks
rather than proves the rule. 1t is
always CALLING to hear crowd of
our women indulging in loud
laughing and talking on street cars

Goldsmith says, it betrays ''the

the contempt of other people but

Prohibition Movement

SPECIAL TO COLORADO STATESMAN
There are two great vital ques
tions confronting us nation today
One is the Negro question, that
every statesman south of the Ma.
son and Dixon line seems to gain
popularity and ascendency in the
councils of his party. The other
is Prohibition, whose followers
have made great inroads in several
states of this great union
The purpose of this article is TO
eniighten the readers of the Colora-
do Statesman on the evils of pro-
hibition whether it has been a
blessing or a curse to the nation.
In the states where the law is
strictly enforced it has cost thous-
ands of dollars of taxpayers mon
ey, and hundreds of lives. We
believe that prohibition has made
more hypocrites than any political
propaganda that has ever been put
before the electorate. and a hypo-
critic is the most despisable human
being in history. Drunkenness
and licentious living amongst our
race or any race we condemn, but
if we were to delve deep into his
tory either pagan, ancient and
modern, also biblical, we find
that wine was used at every cele-
bration of Importance. Christ
himself turned water into wine at
a marriage celebration. The great
church herself uses wine to cele-
brate the incarnation of the Christ.
Very true there are many men
and women who abuse the use OF

40 feet high in which to install
workshops in tin, shoe-making
and all the other crafts necessary
to present day needs. While
trades are important, they are con
sidered chiefly SO that the Negroes
may then make lands and farming
preferable, for it is in the soil
which the Negro has so often till
ed for others that their greatest
future lies, and their is plenty of
land one place and another which
they can cultivate so soon as they
reach a stage into other Industrial

used to hear the South Afri-
can Kaffir criticised in that he was
a mere copyist and never origina-
ted any thing, though capable of
making things mechanically per
feet. Sutton tells me, however,
that at Tuskegee and other places
the boys develop originality and
will improve on models set before
them, and that the Same is true of
those in West Africa, where in
deed they design their own build
ingsand have originated substi-
tutes in the way of materials for
those that used to be imported
from abroad.
Mathematics and written lam
guage existed on the west coast be-
fore the advent of the whites, but
it is doubtful if they originated
with the Negro; more likely they
came from the Arabs, who were al
ways great slave makers long be-
fore the expectation of black ivory
to the West Indies or the United
States. Constant wars among
themselves and slave raids seem
always to have kept the Negro
from going beyond certain stage
of development, and they lacked
both the admixture and competi-
ton of other people to make them
progress.
The Zulus are truly great and
warlike nation, drilled in mass as
well as individual troop move
ments, an adhesive people who
might in truth have conquered all
South Africa but for the whites
and their rifles. Yet nearer the
coast were Swazis, who inhabited
the bush country, black, tall race
with little development and full of
strange and horrid superstitions.

(From Denver Post)


DIR. f. G. Granville-Sutton has
been visiting this country for the
last twenty months at the invita-
ton of Booker T, Washington of
Tuskegee.
Granville Sutton is an educated
West African of Free Town, near
where he owns 1000 acres of land.
He is 81 years old, but a mere
chicken compared to his father,
who is known to have lived 10
years and probably longer. The
elder Sutton enlisted in the Brit
ish army in 1773, drawing pen
sion for the last fifty-two years of
his life and dying in 1872 in Gran
vile Sutton's presence, so that the
two already furnished long link
with the past, the father serving
during the period of the Napoleon
ic wars, which, whilst they had
their main theatre in Europe,
were carried on all over the world,
and many French colonies passed
into the hands of the British.
Granville-Sutton belongs to the
Liberal church, which believes
more in deeds than professions
and that work and accomplishment
will cause the rise of the Negro
race. He is, indeed was at one
with Booker Washington in his
ideas for Negro evolution long be-
fore he met him, and has only been
confirmed in his ideas for Negro
evolution long before he met him,
and has only been confirmed in
his ideas by which he has seen In
America through which he travelled
extensively, especially in those
cities and the country where the
Negro was either, being taught to
work the land or become mechan-
ic. The old idea of Liberia and
sending the Negro back to the
cradle of his race no more, indeed,
perhaps less, fitted to succeed than
when he left it. is not a practical
one, in fact would probably cause
a relapse into barbarism for the
American Negro must be reaccli-
mated and is entirely unable to re-
sist many diseases from which ma
tives are immune.
What is sought by Granville
Sutton is men from the Booker
Washington schools to teach his
people and also the admission to
Negro institutions for number OF
his students. On his return a

Ora Griffin, the colored girl who
was shot and seriously wounded
by Charles Kinlock a white man,

lock, who was 50 infuriated that he
turned the weapon on himself af-
ter shooting Miss Griffin, is re-
ported to be out of danger. Kin
lock who was madly in love with
the colored girl, went into Hans
CONS restaurant, Market near
Seventh streets, where Ora Griffin
was employed, and, after whisper
ing in the girls ear, drew a revol-
yer and shot her. A white woman
standing nearby attempted to
seize Kinlock's arm and was shot
dead. Then the infuriated man
shot himself. The shooting is the

alcoholic beverages, but on the
other hand there is no use for a
lot of fanatics trying to foster
nationwide prohibition upon the
citizens of the various states of
this union. Quoting the words of
James Cardinal Gibbons, the most
eminent prelate of the Catholic
church in America:
prohibition can never be en-
forced in a Christian country. 1t
tends to make hypocrites and leads
to the manufacture of ulicit whis-
ky, replacing the good material
with the bad, and at the same time
robbing the government of the le-
gitimate tax"
L am in a position to know that
in few months from now, that
one of the greatest campaigns in
the history of this state will be
waged for this great question, and
taking time by the forelock, to
warn the people, that prohibition
means absolute loss to us as a
state especially to Denver as a
city. Can we expect to induce
tourist and great conventions to
meet in our city when they can
drink only water.
Those of you who are contem-
plating voting for this question,
consider your own welfare. Think
of The revenue that will be lost for
you as taxpayers. So fellow citi-
zens it is of vital Importance that
you should give this question SER
sious consideration before decid-
ing.

SPECIAL M LETTINGS

Our Sunday School is trying to
develop a little active life along
civic lines as we'll as religiously.
To begin with, it was the Sunday
School which invited Hon. +. G.

talk on ''Good Roads," Then they
have adopted the idea of trying to
get some public sreaker to address
them on some popular subject Of
the day, on the last Sunday of each
quarter, to take.the place of the
quarterly review exercises. In ac-
cordance with this program, Rev.
A. j. Tiffany of Aberdeen S. D..
was invited to visit us on the last
Sunday in March. After writing
him on the subject, he offered to
come on the preceding Sunday and
stay all week, for the purpose of
holding a series of revival meet
ings on each week day evening, in
addition to the two Sundays.
So he is to be with us on next
Sunday, March %, when he will
give talk to the Sunday School
in the afternoon, and i'm the even
ING hold regular religious services,
to which every one is earnestly in
vited.
To carry out the above program
some extra funds will bc needed.
SO the members of the Sunday
School have been asked to make
special contribution to the reg
ular collection. on the first Sunday
i'm April, of an amount equal to
whatever their age may be.
Mr. Tiffany has generously of
cred to come free of all expense to
us, except his entertainment and
transportation to and from Get
tysburg, all of which has already
been provided for.
