Colonization Idea Is
Suggested AS Means OF
Solving Race Problem
(Ry Associated Negro Press.)

lfiy ASSOclaleu Negro FfeSS.)
ST. LOUIS, Mo, Aug. 26.-Plans
for the colonization of American Ne.
grOes in new free state to be set up
on the Mexican border, said to have
the support Of the 100000 members
OF the race who comprise the Free
VIII NJ +. church, will be set in mo-
tion at the annual convention and
conference of the church, TO be held
ia ct. Louis this month. The adop-
ton of the colonization program, ac-
c0rding to the statement made yes
terday by DR.. NJ NJ. Madden of okla
homa City, delegate to the conyen-
ton, will eliminate entirely the race
question from the list of problems fac
ing the United States.
you cannot mix oil and water, nor
an inferior race with a superior, DR..
Madden said. Our movement is ma.
tion-wide, and has the support, not
only of the 100000 members of our
congregation, but also of hundreds of
thousands OF Independent members
of both races thruout the country.
Elimination of race trouble would not
be the only advantage of the plan. Our
state would act as a buffer between
the United States and Mexico Our
people would be given rights guaran-
teed, but not fulfilled by the thir-
teenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amend
ment to the Constitution of the United
States"
DIR. Madden's plan is that the new
state be governed upon a modified
territorial principle Laws shall be
made by the Negro Citizens of the
state, but shall be subject to veto by
the United States government. Ex-
cept for this veto, however, the col
ony shall be entirely self-governing,
and relations with the United States
shall be by treaty. The state shall
consist of 100 square miles of terri
tory: 500 on the American side of
the Rio Grand river and 500 on the
Mexican side. The United States shall
buy the American territory from the
individual citizens, and the Mexican
territory from the Mexican govern
ment. Negro property in the United
States shall be appraised and bought
up by the government, but emigration
shall not be compulsory

SHOULD MINISTER'S SMOKE?

NDO u Whether ministers
should smoke is arousing discussion
among clergymen as result of a
question asked at a recent convention
OF Methodist ministers as TO whether
it is Christianlike for ministers to
smoke.
ut all depends on what you smoke -
said one minister 81 smoke a cigar
to the glory of God"
The Rev. C. F. Spur, Regents Park
Methodist church, confessed he
smoked a pipe in his study, but didn't
think it wise for ministers to smoke
in public.
Another favors it for the reason
that good smoke helps to get near
mans soul.
Personally, l haven't smoked a
dozen cigaretts in my life" said DR..
F. B. Meyer, "and that was in Turkey,
where it would have been an act of
great discourtesy not to smoke with
your host But don't object to smok-
ing if by doing so a minister can get
nearer to mans soul

Old Mine Reappers
AS Litigation Ends

The Arizona-Globe Copper COM
pany, recently incorporated and head
ed by P j. Hickey of Phoenix, has
taken over the properties formerly
known as the Cole-Goodwin mine, con.
sisting of II claims, totaling nearly
ls0 acres.
The mine is located in the Globe
Miami district, close to the Gibson
nine, and lying between such well
Il-nown mines as the Old Dominion of
Globe, the Inspiration, the Miami, the
Magma and The Ray Consolidated
During the years of 1906 and 1907
many shipments of ore were made
FROM this property, the smelter re
turns showing an average. of from G
TO II per cent copper and good gold
and silver values.
The properties became involved in
litigation while these shipments were
being made. and were tied up for
nearly 10 years, and finally this was
settled in the supreme court, the title
cleared up, and soon thereafter the
property taken over by Mr.. Hickey,
and work has been going on since
January OF this year.
Samples have been taken from nu-
Imerous open cuts and shallow shafts
on the vein, and from the main shaft,
which has now reached depth of
nearly 500 feet, all showing good
values. II is the plan of the present
company to sink the shaft to the 600
foot level, where a station will be cut
and drifting on the vein viii be done
to prove the ore body to that depth.
thus adding many thousands of tons
of ore to that already in sight. Modern
equipment, including mill, is to be
erected on the property to place same

COMPARED WITH TURKEY.
(Fargo. N. ID. Foruml

1t is for just such injustices as
these that we are demanding the end
of Turkish rule and the establish.
ment of a mandatory for Armenia to
protect here from Turkish atrocities.
Would we be willing to be classed
with Turkey and have the League of
Nations place us under the control
of some European nation in order to
protect our Colored citizens? The
comparison sounds fantastic, yet the
principle is the. same The conditions
differ only in degree.

POPE EXPRESSES HOPE
FOR NEW WORL D ORDER
New Year Message to America Is
Statement of Desire for
l. League of Nations.

ROME, Tuesday, December Sin a
New Year message to America, given
today to the Associated Press, Pope
Benedict expressed the hope that the
peace conference might result in a
new world order. with league of ma
lions, the abolition of CONSUMPTION
and establishment of tribunals to adj
just international disputes. The mes
sage reads:
''On the eve of the new year, in
which humanity is at last to enjoy
the blessings of peace. we are glad to
send cordial greetings to the Ameri-
can people as the champions of those
same principles which have been pro-
claimed by both President Wilson and
the holy see, insuring for the world
Justice. peace and Christian love-
I'm this solemn moment, when a
new era in the history of the world
is about to begin. we pray that the
Almighty may shed His light upon
the delegates who are meeting in
Paris to settle the fate of mankind.
and especially upon President Wilson
as the head Of the noble nation which
has written such glorious pages in
the annals of human progress
May the conference be of such a
nature as to remove any resentment,
abolish forever wars among brothers
establish harmony and concord and
promote useful labor. Out of the
peace conference may there be born
the league of nations, which, by abol-
1shing CONSUMPTION. will reduce arma-
ments; which, by establishing inter-
national tribunals, will eliminate or
settle disputes; which, placing peace
upon a foundation of solid rock, will
guarantee to every one independence
and equality of rights"

Broke All Records.

For the railroads, 1918 was a year
which broke all records of revenues and
expenses. Although receipts were near
1y 20 per cent greater, expenses were even
more. 1t took so per cent of the operating
revenues to pay operating expenses, al
though only 30 per cent was taken for
this purpose in 1917. Operating ex-
penses, which with estimated figures for
the past two months amounted to
s.. 500 600, 900, were billion dollars more
than in 1917. Increased wages are esti-
mated variously to have been responsible
for between S600,000 900 and $500, 100000
of this billion.
In the ten months ending November /,
for which the Interstate Commerce Com
mission has compiled definite reports.
receipts from freight, passenger and
other revenue sources were S4,032, 000,
coo, or little less than the S4,041 ,000,-
900 revenues for the entire year of 1917.
In the ten months $2,S1S,0 200, 900 came
from freight and S36,00o,000 from pas
senger traffic.
Operating expenses for the ten months
amounted to 1924, 900, 900, or about
$500, 000, 900 more than the 81, $50. 600, 900
expenses for the entire year OF 1917.

Expect Favorable Balance.

Officials think that in probably less
than six months time the govern
ment, under the existing freight and
passenger rates, will be able to strike
a balance in its favor 1t is pointed
out by the same officials that a few
months ago the deficit was much
greater than at present, but that the
earnings have increased, enabling
the railroads to meet current ex-
penses, and also to make some prog
ress in meeting obligations incurred
during the earlier part of MIR. Nc
Adoos administration.
Operating revenues for the entire
year, officials calculate, probably
amounted to s4,s00.0 900, 600. more than
ever before in railroad history, and
operating expenses probably ran up to
$500, 600. This left billion dol
lars of net revenue, which was cut
down more than s2e0,000,oo0 by deduc
tions for ordinary taxes, rentals for
equipment not owned by railroad COM
panies and other incidental losses.
War taxes and expenses of maintain
ing financial and other corporate Of
fees, including salaries of officers not
actually employed in physically OPP
Grating the railways, must be paid by
the railroad companies out of the
$3.50, 100000 which the government
guarantees them.

Coo set aside by the government to

authorities have had possession of the
