GAMBLE FOR CHASE JOB
BOULDER JURlST NAMED ADJu-
TANT GENERAL BY THE
GOVERNOR.
Up His Official Duties April I,
Relieving General Chase.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver.-Judge Harry P. Gamble of
Boulder has been formally appointed
by Governor Carlson, Adjutant Gener
al of the State of Colorado He ac-
cepted by wire from Detroit. He will
take up his official duties April LIST,
succeeding Adjutant General John
Chase.
The new adjutant general has
many friends in the Guard and is un-
derstood to be very agreeable to the
United States War Department. The
latter has inquired into his record.
1t Is said that this appointment will
take the militia out of politics, and it
is expected that the plan for reorgan-
ization will begin at once.
Judge Gamble was formerly on the
bench of the Eighth judicial district.
He came to Colorado in the early
nineties from Detroit, Mich. and at
tended the University of Colorado,
where he obtained his legal educa.
ton While there he was prominent

team in 1896, the year of his gradu.

Governor Carlson said Judge Gam.
ble's appointment was due to his
military record, which had commend.
ed itself not only to the governor bur
to number of military authorities
with whom he had conferred and that
the new adjutant general would de-
vote all of his time to bringing the
National Guard up to the highest
standard of efficiency.
The governor also said that, on &C
count of illness of Judge CANDLES sis
ter. it may be impossible for the new
adjutant general to take office April
1. but he thought such contingency
was remote.

D. 6 r. G. Machinists Get Increase.

The long-pending wage controversy
between the machinists and allied
crafts and the management of the
Denver & Rio Grande terminated in
an agreement by which the pay of the
men is advanced / cent an hour. Ali
the machinists, blacksmiths, boiler
makers, carmen, pipefitters and tin
ners and electricians, and their ap-
prentices and helpers on the entire
system. about $500 in all, are affected
Formal demand was served upon John
F. Enright, superintendent of motive
power of the Denver C Rio Grande,
Dec. %, for an increase of cents an
hour. At the expiration of the 30-day
period the State Commission offered
its services to the railroad company
and to the union men to effect an ad-
justment The railroad officials ap.
peared before the commission, as did
representatives of the workingmen,
and told the commissioners that they
believed an amicable agreement could
be reached without the mediation of
the state officials.

1t is not usual to think Of the Negro
as having contributed much to the
wisdom literature" of the world, but
the following proverbial expressions
are enough to show that he has not
been altogether lacking in this re-
spect:
Not to aid one in distress is to kill
him in your heart
Birth does not differ from birth; as
the free man was born SO was the
slave.
Much gesticulation does not prove
courage.
Do not repair another mans fence
until you have seen to your own.
You cannot kill game by looking at
Familiarity induces contempt, but
distance secures respect.
Faults are like hill, you stand on
your own and you talk about those
of other people.
To love the king is not bad. but a
king who loves you Is better.
The day on which one starts is not
the time to commence ones prepare
ton.
He who forgives ends the quarrel
The sieve never Sits meal by it
self.
The dawn does not come twice to
wake man.
Il have forgotten thy name" is bet
ten than Il know thee not"
The fugitive never stops to pick the
thorn from his foot
The elephant does not find his trunk
heavy.
But the outstanding feature of a
new magazine is just the fact of its
appearance. Launched at Chicago by
new organization, the Association
for the Study of Negro Life and His
tory, it does not intend ito drift into
the discussion of the Negro problem.
but rather to "popularize the move
ment of unearthing the Negro and his
contributions to civilization be-
lieving that facts properly set forth
will speak for themselves" This is a
new and stirring note in the advance
of the black man. Comparatively few
of any race have broad or accurate
knowledge of its past 1t would be
absurd to expect that the Negro will
carry about in his head many details
of a history from which he is sepa-
rated by tremendous break. 1t is
not absurd to expect that he will
gradually learn that he, too, has a
heritage Of something beside shame
and wrong. BY that knowledge he
may be uplifted as he goes about his
task of building from the bottom

The work that is being done toward
the industrial education of the Negroes
in dozen schools scattered through
out the South by the American Church
Institute for Negroes was described at
Washington by Rev. Robert w. Pat
ton before 400 women interested in So
cial betterment work.
DR.. David H. Greer. Episcopal
Bishop of New York and president of
the institute, presided at the meeting,
which was held in the assembly hall
of the Colony club and introduced the
speaker.
Rev Mr.. Patton said:
ut cost the nation $4,000 per cap
ita and million lives besides to eman-
cipate the slaves. But emancipa-
ton is not freedom And after the
bitterness of the reconstruction period
in the South, which should be called
the redistribution period, group of
men in the North and South decided
that this was so. The Church insti-
tute is freeing the slaves at 500 each
by giving the Negro the freedom of
mind, body and soul"

Prof. Kelly Miller, dean of the Col
lege of Arts and Sciences of Howard
university, has contributed an article
to the December number of Educa-
ton, discussing the industrial and the
higher education of Negroes, and TAX
ing the stand that the two are not an
tagonistic or inconsistent. He says:
1.-THE Negroes presence in this country
in the first place, was due to the be-
lief that he was intended by the Gre
ator to be an instrument of crude
service. His traditional function was
mainly mechanical. and scarcely more
human than that of the OK which pulls
the pillow. His personality was at
first denied, and afterwards ignored
Men spoke of the Negro as a good
hand Just as they spoke of a good
ak or good OK. The imputed virtue
had exclusive reference to his utility
as tool. The traditional bias con-
corning the Negroes ordained place

to Washington to present the request
to the federal land department.

Wins ss,4ss for Husbands Death.

While the laws of Colorado value a
human life at $1,000, fixing the limit
of recovery in damage suits at that
sum, Mrs. Carrie Scarborough was
awarded a verdict for sS,439.SS by a
jury in Judge Aliens division of the
District Court for the death of her
husband, Edward w. Swanbrough.
The verdict, which was for the full
amount sued for. was given on an in
surance policy for the sum named.
Her husband was killed in an automo-
bile race at Overland Park in the fall
of 1914.

The Negro population of the United
States increased from 757.20S. or 1873
per cent of the total population, in
1890. to 9.S27.763. or 1917 per cent of
the total in 1910. The increase be.
tween 1900 and 1910 was at the rate
OF liz per cent. while during the same
period the white population increased
22.3 per cent. Since 1910 there has
been a continuous decrease in the pro-
portion which Negroes have formed of
the total population. due, at least in
part, to the fact that the white popu-
lation has been continually augmented
by immigration, while there has been
very little immigration of Negroes dur
ing the last hundred years

In Chicago a movement is afoot to
erect a memorial to The late Booker
Washington and large sum of
money has already been collected for
this scheme, which is to be entirely
local, and to express for all time the
sympathy and admiration of Chicago
people for the great Negro educator.
1t will not be a statute or symbolic
temple of ornate architecture. but it
will take the practical form of an in
dustrial training school for Negro
Children of the city. The Chicago
Herald infers that If Booker Wash
ington had been asked what sort of
monument he would desire to per-
petuate his memory he would have an
swered: "A school for my people"
Chicago's example is good and we'll
worth following.
A number of such memorial schools
in various parts of the country. for
the industrial education of the col
ored race. would serve to keep his
memory green and go far toward the
solution of the racial problem To
make his people self-supporting and
self-reliant was the object of his life
No better monument to him could be
thought of than a school to continue
his mission.

ent opinion concerning the kind of
education which should be impaired
to him. AS a consequence of this at
titude. that type of education which
hts him for his accustomed sphere
and place has found ready apprecia-
ton and favor; he is to be educated
for his work, rather than for him
self. AS a matter of fact, the great
bulk of this race must devote its
chief energies to the cruder and coars-
er grades of service which fall to it's
lot as far in the future as our present
vision can penetrate. The Industrial
becomes matter of the highest con-
Germ to the practical statesmen and
philanthropist. d. Booker T. Wash
ington. in his moments of greatest
enthusiasm, never overstated the i'm
portance of industrial training as an
essential agency of the general social
uplift But at the same time, it should
never be forgotten that the Negro Is
human being as we'll as a utensil OF
service. A wise educational economy
will seek to make him a man working,
rather than a working man. Fortu-
nately, however, the saner sense Of
the people is now reasserting itself.
The two types of education are no
longer contrasted as antagonistic and
inconsistent, but compared as COM
mon factors of joint product. Their
relative claims should never have been
made a matter of essential contro-
versy. but merely question of ratio
and proportion. Negro colleges. fol-
