The survey of the results of half a
century of Negro emancipation in the
United States, presented in connection
with the convention in Boston of the
National Negro Business league, con-
tains impressive statistics. The pro-
gress has been especially marked in
the last fifteen years, as is shown by
an advance from 10000 Negro bust
ness enterprises in 1900 to $4,000. from
two banks to 81, from 149 wholesale
establishments to 240, from 10000 re-
tail concerns to $4,000. In the short
er period of ten years the value of
farm property owned by Negroes has
advanced from s177,4O4,6SS to S492,,
S92,21S.
The Colorado statesman., 1915-10-09

The movement of southern Negroes
toward farm ownership has been one
of the marked developments of the
past decade. Nevertheless, even with
a general knowledge of this move
ment, it is surprise to learn that one
fourth of all the Negro farmers of
the South own the farms they culti-
vate, and that their total value is
S500,000000. These are the figures Of
Tered by DR.. f. C. Branson of the Uni
yersity of North Carolina, who is one
of a committee charged with the ex-
penditure of $3,5O0.OOO for the better
ment of the Negro. He reports that
the colored man is solving his own
problem, and is solving it in terms of
industry and soil ownership. Negro
population in the South is dwindling,
says Doctor Branson, except in the
states of Arkansas and Oklahoma, but
it is increasing in the cities and de-
creasing in the country. The Negroes
are rapidly changing from tenants to
farm owners.-Boston Transcript.

Illinois day exercises brought the
Lincoln Jubilee and Negro Emancipa-
tion Semi-Centennial exposition to a
close at Chicago. During the four
weeks the show has been in progress
at the Coliseum 100000 persons have
passed through the doors.
Adjutant General Frank S. Dickson,
representing Governor Dunno, was the
chief speaker.
During the afternoon of the clos.
ing day the commission in charge OF
the exposition held a conference with
Thomas w. Swami, the Negro deposed
as secretary two weeks previous.
Swami and his attorney wrestled with
the problem of Strengthening out his
DOCKS and accounting for money han

V. Clinnon, the attorney originally EN-.
ployed by Swami, had given up the
case
1t became known that new bills con-
tracted by Swami without the knowl-
edge OF members of the commission
mad been presented for payment.
Total gate receipts during the four
weeks of the exposition amounted to
about $4,000. The most profitable
day was Wednesday, when Mayor
thompson was the speaker. The
amount taken in that day was $1,37O,
representing $3.50 paid admissions at
25 cents each.
The cost of the exposition will total
approximately $4,000. OF this amount

MILITARY HIGHWAY

1t is quite possible and it is already
suggested that within short period,
the United States will build military
roads in different directions across the
continent.
The use of the motor car as a vehicle
of war has proven remarkably successful
in Europe during the last year. For
quick transportation of troops, guns and
supplies they were strong competitors
of the railways and in connection with
them double the value of the railroads
In Europe however the roadways are
the best. In this country. with any.
thing like bad weather, long stretches
of highways in many localities would be
impossible for gasoline motors.
There and three accessoriea in the art
Of war that have made good during the
European war, aircraft, submarines and
gasoline motors. Our government will
doubtless take due notice.
Sometime soon,. the Meridian High
way, and several other similar high
ways across the continent may become
government highways for military pur-
poses-but they will also be quite useful
for ordinary travel in peace times.

SdiIifARY DRILL
IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS

! Some time ago, before the European
war we called attention of the people Of
this country to the fact of our helpless
ness as a military nation, the Pioneer
Express spoke of a plan to educate the
young m-n in the rudiments Of military
drill, and now that the subject is a mat
ter Of common discussion we venture to
repeat it.
One of the great objections to large
army and navy is that the military men
are body apart from the common peo.
pie. The officers become sort Of aristo.
cracy, who are above the ordinary citizen
while the rank and file are somewhat be-
low the common social scale. In the
army and navy itself the distance be-
tween the commissioned officer and the
enlisted solder is so great that compare
lively few men desire to take the subordi-
nate positions, especially as there is so
little opportunity for advance.
When this government first inaugur.
ated the weather service, the observers
were regularly enlisted men Of the army
and were connected with the signal SER
vice.l Usually they we're non commission
cd officers with the rank of corporal or.
seargent These men were stationed,
generally alone, as weather observers at
many points all over the country. These
men were gensally fairly we'll educated
and we'll behaved. In the smaller towns
they we're received on social terms only
measured BY their own habits and be!'
havi0ur.
A part OF the plan suggested hy the
