The Negro as a Farmer.

Reports frequently tell of the sue
cess OF movements in the south to
establish negroes as small farmers.
The carpetbag doctrine Of forty acres
and a mule" has no place in the new
theory, and II has been found that
the negro, with certain limitations
makes a very successful farmer. 4
story comes out OF Denver which
throws some light on this subject. A
negro named Oliver T. Jackson, who
has long been messenger at the
Colorado state capitol Is the origi-
nator Of a prosperous cooperative
farming society Of negroes not far
from the city. Jackson has been
thrifty and has made use Of oppor-
tunities to improve his fortune. Like
many other negroes who have made
some progress, he realizes that north
ern philanthropists, while successful
in promoting the welfare Of the ne
groes Of the south, were neglecting
opportunities in their own part Of the
country.
A few years ago government
tract Of 10000 acres was thrown open
to entry It was Jackson's hope that
he could get enough negro families
from Denver and other COLORADO cities
to homestead the whole reservation.
In this he failed He got only half
dozen or so families together, and
these he had 20 help 10 get start.
The little group has expanded, so that
now there are forty negro families
concentrated in the town Of Deerfeld,
which has ONLY col0red inhabitants.
Jackson arranged for the cooperative
buying OF machinery and the exchange
of labor. Denver offered an excellent
market for vegetables and fruits, so
that settlers engaged in truck farm
ing. They have prDspered, having
proved themselves to be dependable
laborers and good husbandmen. There
seems to be no race prejudice in the
community, although the negroes by
preference remain together. As white
settlers sometimes desire to sell, their
holdings are frequently obtained by
negroes from the city who wish to try
farm life.
The success Of the experiment is
due. Of course, 10 the energy and in
torest Of Jackson, who, being attached
10 the governors office, obtained the
help Of the executive There is much
encouragement in the venture. 1t

Railroads and the Public.

Our railroads can az least bear wit
ness that the sins Of the fathers are
visited upon the children. With the
most remarkable advance in efficiency
and clean management in the last
twenty years, they are still subject to
punitive taxation, uniutelligent regu.
lation, extrayagant labor demands, re-
stricted credit, and a. general condi-
tion Of uncertainty which makes them
unwilling to expand their facilities,
or even add to their equipment, lest
a worse thing befall them.
Speaking before the Ohio Electric
light association, Z. Burt Fenton Of
New York pointed ont the. essential
difference between government and
private enterprise. Government can
demand, but it can not persuade. In
the case Of postofficf or municipality
owned facilities like waterwoTks, il
can supply the people with what they
must have. But where they have Il
choice il can not persuade The rail
roads are selling transportation, and
the enormous volume Of railroad ad
vertising proves that IL is sold under
the ordinary methods of saieSmanship
Some time ago President Wilson
strongly recommended to congress a
commission of the two houses 10
clarity the railroad situation, 90 see
where regulation could be improved
and simpliiied, TO establish better ad-
iNstments Of labor problems, and to
protect at once the public, the ON
hlpye and the stockholder.
As long as this proposal seemed
likely to create another expensive and
troublesome inquiry which would
take railroad managers away from
their proper business for long periods
TO answer foolish questions, the ma
jority OF congress looked upon the
plan with a favorable eye. But when
the railroads accepted the proposal
gladly and pointed out directly TO
the public the matters most urgently
needing settlement, congress had a
change of heart Bryan in his Com
moner, talked OF "a railroad plot"
Every dilatory measure was adopted
To sidetrack the presidents proposal
The old and ugly doubt arises in the
thoughtful citizens mind. DO polite
ians ever want problem. settled? AGi-
tation is their stock iu'trade. Like

Of PARALYSIS
HEALTH CONFERENCE OF sciEN-
lists TO OUTLINE NATION
WIDE FIGHT ON lNFANTiLE
PLAGUE.

Washington. Aug. 17.-Plans for a
more vigorous campaign 10 prevent
spread of infan,le paralysis were
made here today az conference OF
health authorities or most OF the
states with officials of the federal
public health service. Resolutions
will be adopted tomorrow by the con
ference in which eminent plague eX-
perts. scientists and psychologists
are participating, outlining definite
proposals for checking disease.
Cause Unknown.
While few OF those present today
expressed alarm that the epidemic
might assume country wide proper
tons they uniformly declared meas
ures We're necessary to guard against
a widespread outbreak Admission
was freely made by many experts
that the cause of the plague is un-
known and the means OF its trans
mission not cOnciusiveiy determined.
Physicians who have been fighting
it in New York, Pennsylvania, New
Jersey and Connecticut gave the la
test scientific observations OF these
aspects
Prevention Discussed.
Attention was centered chiefly on
prevention of spread OF the epidemic
through interstate travel. Uniform
ity of regulations for travel on rail
road trains, steamships and other
carriers Was urged by Secretary Nc
Adoo OF the treasury department, in
opening the conference and while the
opinion was advanced by several
speakers that general quarantine
against passengers from eastern in
fected areas was unnecessary, the
conference probably will recommend
system of uniform inspection, is
suance Of health certificates and Co
operation between federal and state
health and railroad authorities to-
ward safeguarding travel. Medical
representatives of a dozen large trunk
lines urged the conference to assist
in securing uniform traffic rules. 4

Convention Idea Left Out.

Convention Idea Left Gut.
The convention idea was left out
and the rally during the state fair
was suggested to take its place. That
the effect will be for greater harmony
and less activity is the prediction Of
those who wanted state convention.
On the other hand, it is pointed cut
that the democrats of Oklahoma have
held one convention this year and
adopted one platform, that the state
ticket is short and that the expense
Of a convention is not justified by the
situation.
One Of the very yeXing problems
of the democratic managers in this
campaign is the election of the ini-
tiated measures of the socialists, and
the name has stuck to the measure.
This name is worrying the democrats,
for it may easily mean votes for the
socialist bill. That the bill is not a
fair election measure is the assertion
of the democrats. That it even yi0.

Seattle, Wash, Dec. 1.-The Univer-
sity of California football team and its
trio of coaches are on their way back
to tho land of the orange blossom to-
day. Yesterday the southerners gave
the champion Washington gridders the
toughest battle of their loves on Uni
vefsity field here. The score was:
Washington IA; California 7. The
whole story is in the result.
Washington won but the gathering
of soemthing like 10000 fans who
swarmed over the stands had grave
doubts all through the first period. In
the first quarter the CALIFORNIA; had

goal nearly every minute of play. 1t
looked more than once like the visitors
were going to put over touchdown in
the first period. The victory for Wash
ington was the result of the old,
plunging, smashing style. California
depended more on the aerial game.
In Roy Sharpe, California left half,
the game served to introduce new

all round football player ever seen in
the northwest. He was carried from
the field yesterday on the shoulders of

Chicago, Dec. Joe Stecher's title

ship is nailed down tighter today fol-
lowing his defeat of Charles Cutler here
last night.
Stecher's deadly scissors hold won
both falls for him, the first in 1910,
the second in 1924. Cutler did not wait
for his shoulders to be pinned to the
mat a second time and when Stecher
began to squeeze down with the scissors
Cutler called to the referee that he was
ready to quit. He called three times
when the official failed to hear him and
Stecher, who was still clamping his vie
tim down, repeated C1tler s call and the
referee announced the fall
~ had to quit or let him break my

cramped with pain on the ropes. "This
boy is the greatest wrestler the world
ever saw. He's a better man than l
and l am willing to admit it. When
he scissored me was beaten and you we
got to hand it to him.
Cutler put up hard scrap and never
shirked in the bout. He had trained
for months to break the scissors and
was not afraid of it, he said before he
went into the ring. Five thousand saw
the match.
