am informed the political story OF
two weeks ago las set politicians
burning the midnight juice. The line
up as published in The Courier has re-
ceived state attention and in Denver
tie hiFher-ups have been very busy
outlining policies and advocating can
didates for the various offices. The
telephone is busy these days and
many meetings behind closed doors
are being held, but from what | can
learn, harmony as set forth in The
Courier recently will be the slogan.
Hon. Charles w. Waterman, of whom
we sa--. would receive the support of
a great number of friends throughout
the state, has seen fit TO announce his
candidacy for the United States SEN
ate. This probably will be followed
by other candidates who are seeking
honors for this office and guberna-
torial honors as well. 1t would now
appear that there will be several can
didates for each of these offices be-
fore the assembly and no -oubt ask
support of their friends at the pri-
mary election. Charlie Waterman
will receive a splendid assembly vote
from the Denver delegates, although
other candidates will also be honored
by a vote which will entitle them to
state .cognition. The Courier's po-
litical story, it appears. has started
the political pot a-sizzling and it
means the getting together of the
clans in which the factions will feast
at the same table. Our reference to
that sturdy Pueblo republican for
place on the official ticket at the
roundup has met with considerable
favorable comment ana II the uo"h
state contingent will demand place
next to the leader for highest honors
Denver might recognize its request.
All candidates for these two offices,
senator and governor, so far men
toned, but as yet unannounced, are
personages of the highest type o. par
ty principles and under whose banner
the party could unite.-Alamosa Cour-
Ter and Alamosa Leader.

VALUE OF OIL AND PART
THE PUBLIC SHOULD PLAY

lands, he feels justified in recommends
ing to the public that before investing
in oil stock they take the above rules
into consideration, and in addition
consider the responsibility and in
tegrity of the men at the head of the
various companies. And if company
is found to be offering its stock at a
price based upon it's commercial value
the public should assist such COM
panies by buying their stock and
helping them to develop and produce
oil, which today is in greater demand
if possible, than farm products or coal
which have been the greatest neces-
stiles. If the production of oil should
cease today every motor driven piece
of machinery in the world would stop.
The world as we know it today would
go backward fifty years if there was
no oil.
And the story will be concluded by
saying that the public should give the
companies a square deal and in return
hold the companies responsible for a
square deal on their part.
o. w. LOVAN,
T HE ABOVE ARTICLE is worthy of
the utmost consideration and it
would be well for the public to inter-
est itself in a particular manner as to
the part that oil is playing in the
world today, meriting a square deal
between promoters and investors in
this all-important commodity.

THIRTEEN
NEGRO SOL
DIERS HANG
ED DEC. II.

San Antonio, Texas, Dec. IL.
Thirteen Negroes. soldiers of
the Twenty-fourth United States
infantry, were hanged to death
simultaneously at dawn today in
expiation of their murder of
Houston citizens last August,
when members of that regiment
engaged in mutinous rioting in
the city's streets. In the dark
of the night army motor trucks
conveyed the lumber for the
scaffold to little clearing in a
lonely mesquite thicket on the
big government reservation,
where the Negroes, convicted by
court-martial, were to die. And
there, by the light of bonfres,
army engineers erected the death
traps to which, at 5 O'Clock in
the morning other motor trucks
hurried the condemned Negroes
and the officers and men of the
military guard.
1t was the army motor truck,
the only incident which made this
military execution different from
previous ones, that enabled the
officers in charge to keep secret

In spite of the bad weather, the
Baptist mission had the pleasure of
enjoying the largest attendance of
young men that they have had this
fall or winter. There was only one
service during the day on account of
the train being late on which Pastor
Muse and wife arrived; the preach
ing services were enjoyed by large
attendance.
The Sunday school is doing fine.

Walter F. Gerrick, a junior in
the Medical School at the Univel-
sity of Pennsylvania, has been
admitted to the Zelosophic Lite
rary Society of the University,
the first colored member during
its existence of SO years. Ger
rick, who is "a yeers old, won the
honor by a recital of his ambition
and desire to complete his course
and return to his home in South
America to aid in the uplift of
his people. The test is severe,
as each applicant must recite his
past life, his ambition and his
ideals to the whole assembled
body, Gerrick is working his
way through college and his
earnest plea brought unanimous
favor.

BIG OPPORTUNITY TO BE
GIVEN COLORED PEOPLE.

Washington. Dec. lin a
short time, the young people of
Richmond are going to be given
an opportunity to appear in NOV
lie pictures. The National Color
ored Soldiers Comfort Commit
tee, in its effort to raise S2,000,-
600 for the relief of the depen-
dents of our colored soldiers, will
put a contest on in Richmond to
secure colored young men and
women of that city for the lead
ing parts in a movie picture play
to be written for that city, the
young man and woman having
the highest number of votes to
be assigned the leading parts,
and at least six others given
parts according to their stand
ing. These films will be shown
throughout the country and as
they will depict the valor and
progress of the race, they will
not only assist, as is planned, in
raising the So, 900, 900 fund, but
will create a fairer sentiment
towards the race on the part of
whites who will see the film in
movie theatres throughout the
country. A contest is now on
here and in Baltimore to secure
young colored people for the
movie picture play to be written
and taken for these two cities.
The Richmond film will provide
for only Richmond young colored
people as actors and actresses,
and will show local Richmond
scenes, indicative of race pro-
gress also.

Washington, D. C.-The Ne
gro race now has a major in the
Regular United States Army in
the person of Major Ollie Davis,
who, according to reports, has
been promoted from captaincy
and is in command of the Second
Squadron of the Ninth Cavalry,
(which is stationed in the Philip
pines. Major Davis was born in
Washington. d. c., and is a
graduate of the public schools
here. 1t was while in high
school that he received his first
military training. During the
Spanish-American war Major
Davis enlisted in the First Sep
arate Battalion, National Guard,
District of Columbia, and was
commissioned a second lieuten-
ant. At the close of the war he
was first lieutenant. Later he

Tuskegee, Ala, Dec. 8.-The
bakery at the Tuskegee Insti-
tute has been successfully exper-
imenting with sweet-potatoes as
partial substitute in making
bread. This bread is composed
of approximately two parts white
flour and one part boiled, mash
ed sweet-potatoes. The result of
the use of this combination has
been the saving of about 200
pounds of flour each day and
there is no very apparent differ
ence between this bread and the
bread which is made wholly of
wheat flour. The potato bread
will be used exclusively at the
institute as a part of Tuskegee's
program of war economy. A
booklet describing somewhat in
detail this experiment with sweet
potatoes has been prepared at
the Institute.

on the market at this time.
~ There is as great demand for
oil as there is for wheat or any other
commodity. 1t is a necessity for com
merciaI purposes and also for the use
OF the government in assisting to bring
this war to close.
The. company that has production
has an asset equal to the value of that
production and its stock should be of
fered to the public at a price based
uopn its value. If stock is offered
at 30 cents a share and brings only 5
cents on the market either the com
pany is offering it's stock at moi e
than it is worth or the public is try
ing to buy it below its value.
If company has a good title to
certain amount of land in proven ter
ritory and has production of say 200
barrels of oil per day the value of its
stock should be based upon the COM
mercial value of it's leases, plus the
value of its production, and the num-
ber of shares outstanding should also
be taken into consideration, but not
the value of future development. The
purchaser should have the benefit of
that development
AS an illustration, if a purchaser
buys stock at cents a share when
the company has production of 200
barrels per day and the production is
afterwards increased to 400 barrels
the purchaser is entitled to the bene-
fit of that increase, and the one who
buys stock after the production has
reached 400 barrels should pay more
for his stock
In cases where companies have not
secured production only the CONNER
cial value of their leases should be
taken into consideration and their
stocks should be sold on that basis.
If the public would buy stock in this
way it would not be any more OF a
