RESULTS OF
PUBLICITY
CAMPAIGN
Letter of Inquiry From Bel
fast, Ireland, Indicates
Far-Reaching Influence
of Work Done for Idaho.

A lack of appreciation. or possibly
Indifference, seems to obtain among the
citizens of certain sections of Idaho as
to the magnitude of the vigorous and
systematic publicity campaign that has
been and is now being conducted by
the Idaho State Chamber of Commerce
This work is mighty power that has
been put into operation not for any
particular community or section, not
for the popularizing or personal ag-
grandizement of any man or set of
men, but on the other hand. big.
broad movement calculated to colonize
the fertile lands of all Idaho, to create
new commercial values, to enhance
values already here, to widen the
states industrial horizon by the at
traction of capital, to bring raw ma
tsrial and artizan in touch in order
that finished product may come forth
from latent and erst-while non-produc
ing conditions, to crystalize dreams into
realities, to make Idaho great not only
in theory but in fact-such is the vision
of the Chamber of Commerce. There
are few men, without mental per-
spective and with mental grip like a
sucking calf, who say Il don't like
that fsller and haint goin' to have
nuthin' to do with it. This is a
breadth of vision and expansion of
soul that would make ground gopher
turn green with envy. Yet, this great
work goes on serenely and the knocker
is benefited just the same as the de-
cent man.
AS a result of the work being done
inquiries are arriving daily. The letter
which follows is rather unique in that
the envelope bore the announcement
in big black letters, Opened by Cea-
sor." indicative Of the alert watchful-
ness of the war censors. The letter is
dated Belfast, Ireland, November 10,
1916, directed to the Idaho State
Chamber of Commerce. signed by John
Beattie, and shows the far-reaching
effects of the work. 1t follows:
"As l am thinking of settling in
Idaho after the war, | will write you
for some literature on the present
farming prospects; what kind of farm
ing, whether mixed or wheat growing
or fruit growing; price per acre, near
ness to towns, etc. / desire to sub

tions and would be pleased if you would
give my name and address to the pub
lishers l request them to send me a

get particulars here. As shall desire
to purchase considerable amount of
farm machinery, l would be pleased
if you would give my name and ad-
dress to a few firms in the farm i'm

me their catalogues and prices. may

ness in the future if all goes well.

in this matter"

THINKING WHITE" DOWN
SOUTH.
(From The Outlook.

(From The Outlook.)
What do the best white people of
the South today think of the Negro?
What is their attitude toward Negro
education? What is the real temper
of the leaders in the New South
What do they think about Booker T.
Washington's work for Tuskegee and
the advancement. of over ten million
Negroes? The Rev. DR.. John E.
White. of Atlanta, Georgia, a fearless
exponent of thinking white in the
South" recently stated and frankly
answered the incisive questions. be-
fore several thousand Northern and
Southern Negroes who had assembled
in the Boston Symphony Hall, prim-
arily to hear DR.. Washington deliver
his presidential address to the six
teenth convention of the National Ne.
gro Business League. DR.. White
said: ....
The relation in the South between
the races has never been so happy as
it is now. Never has the outlook
been so prosperous The people, OF
the South are thinking whites" that
is, the leaders are giving expression
to the best sentiments. The South is
now looking Upon its millions of Ne
groes, not as a liability but as an
asset. The South is training the Ne
gro for success, for efficiency. The
South sees that it is common sense
to help the Negro. When the Negro
owes something, then he is respected
White people down South think
that the Negro is a man. They are
saying this out loud. They are pray.
ing God to. help them deal with the
Negro on the basis of humanity
They think that the Negro Is dis
tinctly Southern man. I predict
that the time will never come wf1er
three-fourths of the Negroes of thi.
country will not be found in thu
South. The civilization of the South
everything that makes it peculiar ant
characteristic, centers around the Ne
gro. Indeed, the Negro has sweet
ened Southern fife. Whole com
munities are shaped by the Negro.
Property-owning Southern men d.
no lynching. Of the sixteen men whx
were arrested for rioting in Atlanta
for example, not one had his nam,
on the county textbooks.
The race problem is to be solved
not by having few Negroes will
education and culture reach the top
but by having the welLtrained Ne
groes reach down and help up tn.
ladder the black men and women wht
are below struggling.

John e. Bruce "Grit' Attributes Il to

The root of sin is selflshness. and
selfshness is at the bottom of the

Yonkers, N. Y. Selfishness is the
mother Of greed, avarice, inordinate

A good many people would like to
enjoy the fruits of Christianity with
out having the root of Christianity in
their philosophy. Some of the stronger
races have made the attempt, and they
have failed. Christianity may not be
said to be failure in America for

STANDS UP FOR FIFTEENTH
AMENDMENT.

One, at last, of the avowed candi.
dates for the Republican nomination
for the Presidency is squarely on
record favoring the right of the Ne.
gro, to the ballot vouch-safed him by
the Fifteenth Amendment to the Fed
eral Constitution. On April Is, 1903,
Hon. Henry D. Estabrook, of New
York. who is favorablyt mentioned for
the nomination, addressed a letter to
the editor of the New York, Sun
which was published on the editorial
page Of the Sun in its issue of April
10th, 1908, discussing the Fifteenth
Amendment and the Negroes right to
the franchise. In this letter Mr..
Estbrook said in part: =
"The problem as put by a certain
element of theSouth is: How to eli
inmate the Negro vote? Thus stated
it enlists neither my sympathy nor
tolerance. To the Negro, as such,
ought not to be denied voice in a
government, of which, by virtue of
numbers and usefulness, he is so con-
spicuous- a part. The Fifteenth
Amendment was not mistake. am
Christian enough to believe that it
was divinely ordained. Repeal that
Amendment and you block from our
flag star of hope, and leave millions
of people orphaned of country and
worse. than slaves, for they would
have neither the ballot for defense nor
the protection Of an owners self-in-
terest In his property. In a country
like ours, dedicated to personal fiber
ty and self.goverment the denial Of
political rights must be based on just
and fundamental distinctions. So long
a. certain elements of the South cling
to the Authorization that the worst OF
white men are better than the best OF
black men, so long will the South
suffer, and deserve to suffer; for It is
false conceit. wicked conceit, an
obsslete conceit, and freedom in its
march win not. turn backward"
