GREAT PROFIT ON STEAMERS
One Vessel Sold for $4,000, 900 More
Than IT Cost After Being in Serv-
-E Ice for Five Months.

Some idea of the tremendous adj
vance in the price ofeyessel property
and the fabulous prices now being paid
for vessels that can be bought is
shown in the sale of the Boston steam
er Tidewater. which has changed owl
ership after running in the coal-carry-
ing trade to this port for less than five
months, says the Boston Globe. The
big collier cost to build about $4,000,
and was sold for more than 100000,
Il profit of more than 100000.
The Tidewater was built at the New
York Shipbuilding company's yard,
Camden, n. J., and was completed
early the present year. The vessel is
constructed of steel, is 1886 feet long,
$50 feet beam and 3O.5 feet depth of
hold. Her net tonnage is 1854 and
gross tonnage 5.2G6. She was owned
by Cashier, Curran & Bullitt, and was
sold to the American-Italian Steamship
company of New York.

Mexico an Indian Country

It is Of Importance to inquire into
the attitude taken by the southern
Indians of Mexico toward the official
Spanish civilization. says the New Re-
public. If it is difficult for an out
slider only slightly acquainted with the
southern Indians to understand the
reasons for their marked hatred Of
the Spaniards it seems self
evident Of anyone who has spent any
time with them. To the southern In
dams, the Spaniard. and his successor,
the Spanish-speaking Mexican, is the
cruel alien conqueror. They feel that
they are Indians and that Mexico Is
an Indian country. For instance, one
of the common objections to Madero
encountered in Oaxaca was that he
was not an Indian and that the presi-
dent of Mexico should be an Indian.
This attitude is significant, and it Is
not strange to find even northern
Indian like Huerta proudly exclaim-
ing: "Yo so indiana" Carranza's lack
of popularity in the south is not so
much due to the fact that southern
Mexico is the home Of Diaz as to the
fact that Carranza is not an Indian.

when 125 years old, fell to the ground,
where cedar tree took root in the
log and grew undisturbed for 200
wears. The cedar was recently cut In
to single bolts, and the specimen OF
fir was found in its root. WOodsmen
can tell accurately the age Of tree by
the number of rings shown In the
trunk stump when the tree is felled.
The fir specimen is sound, and is
thought to be the Oldest of its kind In

a MESSAGE"

This is to glorify Christ IN the
beauty of holiness, vision given me.
in the moving picture manuscript,
''The Resurrection"
This is message indeed, and as l
read Gods holy book, in St. Luke 11th
chapter, 33d verse, where it says so
plain. "No man when he hath lighted
a candle, putteth it in secret place,
neither under a bushel, but on can
dIestick. that they which come in may
see the light, so how can ! keep these
visions; perhaps 1 have already kept
them too long.
The vision was this, Away back be-
hind the thick black clouds God had
message for the Ethiopian. Sweet
and low an angel from above the
clouds sounded trumpet, and said,
s'The Resurrection and coming out
through the clouds were four angels
in pairs. The son of man was back
behind the clouds with the angels, and
as he sent them forth he said to the
first two, Go carry my message,
Unity and Charity" The angels
came out of these black clouds arms
on one another, seemingly with little
fear. and as they reached the end of
these clouds the son of man said to
one, Go to the far east, and the other
to the west; pray and watch as We go.
And likewise the other two came out
watching and one ran to the south and
the other to the north and he set me
in the center on solid rock, and he
sat behind me. This is only in few
words / explain this vision, as l have
to cut the words, but will try to give
some idea.
And to those who say t:l;s work will
never amount to anything, read st.
Luke, 9Th to 9th verse. He spake also
this parable: A certain man had
fig tree planted in his vineyard and
he came and sought fruit thereon, and
found none.
Then said he unto the dresser of his
vineyard, Behold these three years
come seeking fruit on this fig tree,
and find none; cut it. down; why CUM
bereth it the ground.
And he answering said unto him.
Lord, let it alnoe, this year also, till
l shall dig about it and dung it. And
if it bear fruit, well, and if not, then
after that thou shalt cut it down.
So beloved after you send 5Oc and
don't notify you each month by mail
of the treasure and the two million
dollars are raised and I don't go as
say for Christ, then cut me down. But
l find it in families where there are
eight and nine one viii guy card and
the others put their money into other
useful things and cut me down, say
ing, My sister, my brother, husband,
but not l; that is why we only have
SOC more added to our $500. All,
young men, old men, young ladies,
what do you want? Sanctify your
selves and know the truth. See what
Jesus asks his Father in st. John,
18th chapter, 18th verse, For your
sake sanctify them through thy truth.
Thy word is truth.

JAzz MUSIC FOE OF BLUES
Does Net Consist, as Is Generally BE-
lieved, Of Lot Of Noise without
Rhyme or Reason.

Various descriptions of jazz music
have from time to time appeared, but
none seem to hit the mark exactly,
saws q connoiSSeur of this art. The
common impression is that 1t consists
of lot of peculiar and noisy SOUNDS
without rhyme or reason. This Is NOT
the case, however. 1t consists cmehy
of syncopation, peculiarly accumulated; ;
variations by.some Of the instruments
improvisarious by others. mingled with
odd sound effects Through all this
the melody of the selections rendered
must be distinguishable at all times
tin can noises. beating the life out OF
the drums, blasting by the brass In
strumeIits is entirely unnecessary.
Contrasts between pianissfmo and for
tissimo passages should be shown just
as much in jazz music as in the class
les.
Another wrong impression Is that
Jazz orchestras must consist OF GER
tain Instrumentation. This also is not
the case. The violin, cello, cornet, pi-
ano, or in fact, any legitimate tnstru-
ment, can be used. As jazz music Is
originally Ethiopian, the banjo and
saxopnone are used merely to lend ne
gro character to 1t.
The number of musicians that can
jazz properly is said to be small, be-
cause it really requires good must
clans, who must also be endowed with
the swing or knock of performing 1t.
Although many of the cafe and thea
ter orchestras are composed of good
musicians, those who can jass are
scarce On the other hand. many OF
the self-styled jazz orchestras are mis-
representations, and cannot play the
semiclassics or classics adequately.
Some cannot perform it properly. and
to Offset this, resort to noise and dis
cord in imita ton thereof. The per
centage of musicians who can do JUS
tice to the classics and also play Jazz
Is consequently even smaller. This
kind of orchestra is exceedingly
scarce.
Jazz music is rhythmic and insp:r-
ing. It is declared the best anudote
for the blues.-Milwaukee Sentinel

EDITORIALS
MORE ABOUT IMMIGRATION.

Since the unanimous passing of
those strong ringing resolutions that
were passed last week at the union
Thanksgiving services held by joint
meeting of all the churches, which
was published last week in The By
stander, wherein some Of the best col
ored citizens denounced those who
would discourage or try to prevent the
colored citizens from Alabama or any
other state to come up here. Since
these resolutions were published in
the daily Register a local daily paper
tried to extricate themselves from
their idea Of justice and freedom and
to weaken the force of these resolu-
tons by writing an editorial claiming
that all they meant was the importa-
ton of the undesirable women. Then
the Chamber Of Commerce writes We
editor that the southern Negro will
not acclimate himself and that there
would be considerable disease and suf-
fering. Second reason, "That the hous-
ing situation is one Of the most seri-

SAYS that several committees, with a
committee of reputable Negroes in
Des Moines, thoroughly agree and are
working in unison.

torial, if it were only to try to pre-
vent the bad women or undesirable
