South, is filled with anti-Negro pre-.
judice.
The answer of the Tribune and the
Sun was that the practice of certain
states to deny to the Negro his con.
stitutional suffrage right was at once
the symbol and source of the suppress.
sion of his other rights, and that the
poison distilled by asserting in a
most concrete way that the Negro is
an inferior naturally spread to the re
mainder of the country.
The controversy is an old one and
of course nothing new is likely to be
said concerning it. 1t is, however,
painfully evident that as the Negro
rises, and his cultural and material
progress grows slow and steady, he is
less disposed to submit to being put
on. The service of thousands of col
ored men in the war, on the whole in
a creditable way, has had a great
educative influence. In particular
collisions the Negro is doubtless of.
ten wrong, but on the main ques.
lions he feels he is fundamentally
right and is apparently persuaded
that as long as the ballot is withheld
no other right is safe. So there is
now discernible an increasing dis.
position to follow the ideas of Burg
hardt du Bots rather than those of
Booker Washington, who counseled
the Negro to be patient and to de.
velop private virtues first.
The charge is made that Negro un-
rest is largely due to |. w. W. and
Bolshevik propaganda. Doubtless
those who have an interest in pro
noting revolutionary disturbances
are n~eglecting no discontinued ele-
ment, but there is little evidence ad.
duced showing that the rise OF Negro
radicalism is primarily due to outside
in~citation. 1t seems rather to pro.
coed from causes which existed long
before the |. w. w. or the Bolsheviki
were heard of, and to constitute in
many ways the gravest of American
domestic problems.
1t does not seem in reason that A
ace which has shown the vitality OF
the black race can be permanently
kept in the status of degraded infe
riority. For some time, even in lib.
eral circles, the idea has had vogue
trat a mistake WITS made of giving the
Negro a vote too soon. But it is be.
coming more and more c%ontended that
the blunder in reconstruction days
was in making the Negro nOminally
free While giving him neither land
nor tools.
There was no recognition of the
fact that he had an equitable claim
to a part Of the wealth his labor had
helped to heap up, and he sank into
deplorable economic dependence. 1t
is pointed out that even an autocratic
Czar, when he freed even the Russian
serfs, gave two-thrids of the land to
them as their plain right. If the de.
rided advice of the Freedman's Bu.
e a had been taken and each former
slave family had been started with
forty acres and a mule it is possible
that by this time it would be much
better with whites in regions of large
Negro population.

HOME COMING DAY
Governor Shoup Asks Legislature for
$4,000 for Home Coming of
l57th Regiment.

Word has been received that the
157th Regiment, made up of Colorado
boys, will embark at Bordeaux on Feb
ruary 20, and reach New York on
March lst. They will be at Camp
Funston on March 5th, and when dis
charged special train will take them
to Denver arriving there about March
10. Governor Shoup asked for and
was granted an appropriation by the
Legislature of $4,000 for a fitting
home coming celebration for this, the
only distinctive Colorado organization,
in the army. The Governor and many
others will meet them at New York
with rousing welcome and the state
will hire the special train to transport
them from Camp Funston TO Denver
where relatives and citizens from all
sections Of the state will unite in Civ
ing them such a welcome as they never
dreamed of receiving. A large number
of boys from Prowers, Baca. kiowa
and Bent counties are with this regi-
ment as Lamar and Holly's old Com
pany d formed the backbone of
the new Co. ID in the regiment when
organized, and many of them are still
with it. Capt. Harry Byrnes at last
report was still in command Of the
company. Lamar should take steps TO
see that the boys get n corresponding
rousing reception when they reach
home finally. The Colorado regiment
saw service on the border before
America got into the big war and were
trained to the minute and ready TO go
when the declaration of war was made.
Notwithstanding this they were held
back in Camp Kearny for nearly year
and then held back after they got to
France As n result they only got to
the front about the first of November
and only had about ten days Of the
real scrap. According to all reports
the regiment showed its metal in those
ten days in most glorious manner
and deserve all the welcome they will
receive and more too.

Intermountain Facts and Faneies

A fair sample of the manner in
which the Intermountain company is
treating its patrons is the little re-
minder in last months bills. When
the big awning was constructed on
Main street the company went around
and solicited the property owners to
allow them to put in lights and help
beautify the city. They offered to
furnish the service at a price fixed
by them, and the bills kept reading
the same all through the months
since the raise in rates last October
However, this month they add on n
charge for the increased price for four
months-evidently they feared some
of the users might stop and they
would stick them for four months any
way. This, notwithstanding that the
lights have only been burning about
one-half the time the past month. The
bills of several Lamar landlords for
heat for January equalled two-thirds
of the rent they were getting. which
was based on the bills for heating in
previous months. Pa van Diest evil
IDENTIFY overlooked that other third or
he would have taken it also. Give
him time and continuation of the pre-
sent deal and he will take it all.

The Stuff that Shrinks the Sinews of
Patriotism.

Every soldier who barred his breast
to a storm of lead and shrapnel; every
mother and father who saw their boy
march proudly away to meet the foe,
sometimes not to return, and every
loyal, patriotic citizen no doubt threw
up his hat and shouted with joy when
he read the order issued by Secretary
of War Baker, former pacifist, re-
leasing from Fort Leavenworth, 113
conscientious objectors," remitting
the unexecutcd portions of their SEN
tences, announcing their honorable
restoration to duty" and discharging
them Immediately from the army.
1t is such stuff as this that shrinks
the sinews of patriotism and encour-
ages and inspires the spirit Of boil
shevism in this or any other nation.
A man who will not fight for his
country in the hour of her need and
causes others to offer their lives in
the place of his, while he invokes the
protection of her flag, has no place in
that country, whatever his excuse for
his attitude. The only conscience he
has is the kind that makes towards Of

Piled solely by other pacifists of his
type or in prison where he can do no
harm by his propaganda.

BIG ACREAGE ASSURED
Sugar Beet Crop of Lamar Territory
TO be Largest in Number
of Years.

Messrs. Swink and Mayhem, local
agriculturists for the American Beet
Sugar Company, report that the arce-
age of sugar beet contracts already
signed up in the Lamar territory ex-
ceeds considerably the total acreage
planted here last year, and is 80 per
cent of the total amount expected by
the company in this part of the val
lev. The new contracts are very popu-
lar as the uncertainty of market con-
ditions this year makes a fixed con-
tract at such a price as ten dollars per
ton for beets one of the safest things
the farmers can handle. Even with
the highest prices ever known for Ia
bor prevailing last season, the expert
enced farmers, who raised beets, made
more money on the crop than on any
other part of the farm, and this sea-
son the price of the product will be
the same with much better labor situa-
tion from the farmers standpoint.
MANY of those who raised beets last
wear are more than doubling their
acreage this season, and more new
men are signing up than for years.

committee to make up the list of those
entitled to vote. +. X. Jones of La
mar was elected as chairman of the
meeting and made a splendid presid-
ing officer of what promised at times
to be anything but harmonious meet
ing. The bone of contention was the
recent decree of the court under the
agreement made by the Fort Lyon
Co. and the Amity interests under a
power of attorney granted by large
majority of the stockholders of the
Fort Lyon, awarding one director to
the Amity interests to be named by
them. w. S. Partridge now holds
under that agreement. Certain west
end interest under the leadership of
Messrs. Lubbers, Reynolds and krey-
bill were opposed recognizing this de-
cree and wanted an appeal taken from
it. They announced they would take
it into court and ask a rehearing. They
were afraid to try to oust Mr.. Part
ridge while the decree stood as il
would place all voting with them in
contempt of court Judge Hillyer, at
torney for the Fort Lyon, made a
clear statement showing that the di-
rectors were acting in good faith and
that the decree had been entered with
the consent of a large majority of the
Fort Lyon Stockholders represented by
a power of attorney signed by each
of them. The result was that it was
mutually decided to let the present
board hold until the disgruntled stock
holders have ample time to get their
day in court which may be this year
or next or ten years from now. Any
way the ditch is being ably managed
and is giving general satisfaction to
the large majority of water users.
The assessment was raised to S1.50
per share The usual IS cents for
maintenance and running expense was
voted, so cents goes to pay interest
on the bonds, and % cents to a sink
ing fund to pay the bonds. This is the
first time the latter assessment has
been made. Otherwise the assessment
is the same as last year.
An appropriation of s25. 700 was vot-
ed for the purpose of strengthening the
canal from Horse Creek east for sev-
eral miles and to put in division gates
at Gageby and Thurston Lake to fac
ilitate the breaking up of ice gorges.

FACTORY MEETING
Enthusiasm for Factory That Will Run
Regularly in Lamar is Rapidly
Growing.

So rapidly has been the growth the
past week of enthusiasm for the pro-
position of the farmers and citizens
of Prowers and Bent counties build
ing and operating their own beet su-
gar factory, that the Y. NJ. B. A. of
Lamar has called a mass meeting for
Friday evening of this week to which
all citizens and especially farmers are
invited. The wealth of the two coun-
ties has been growing so rapidly in
the past few years that this promo
tion, which seemed impossible few
years ago, is now not only possible
but easily attainable. The war has
put the sugar industry to the front
as one of the most important for our
country and our people in the past
few bond drives have demonstrated
that they can easily raise all the funds
necessary for any necessary industry
The figures of Prowers county's out
put of manufactured products last
year show that we are now county
that talks in millions and no longer a
financial child. Come out to the meet
ing and hear what the originators Of
the movement have to say.

The balance of the fund is to be spent
in dredging the canal. The reports of
the officers showed the company to be
in fine shape and the majority of
stockholders represented We're highly
pleased.
Judge Hillyer in the interval while
waiting for the report of the creden-
tials committee entertained the crowd
with a splendid showing of the pro-
duction of the valley and its capabili-
ties and produced plans for the farm
ers and citizens generally to build a
sugar factory Of their own, which was
received with much enthusiasm by
most of those present

CITY ELECTION
Most Important for Years and Neces-
sity for Complete New Registra-
tion May Cause Many to
Lose Vote.

The city election on Tuesday, April
1st, will be the most important in a
number of years in Lamar. Unfortun-
ately it comes at time when owing
to the bill passed by the last legisla-
ture with regard to registration in
cities of the second class there has to
be a complete new registration of vot-
ers and owing to the fact that it has
not been generally known there will
be many voters unable to express their
sentiments on the important PROPOSE
tions to be presented. Fortunately.
however, on most of the matters aris-
ing the sentiment is so unanimous that
the result will not be affected by fail
ure of many citizens to vote
The city government consisting of
the mayor, city clerk, city treasurer,
and two aldermen from each of the
three wards are to be elected. Mayor
c Ray Strain has certainly made an
energetic and faithful official. His
term coming at time when the coun-
try was at war and afterwards through
the flu epidemic has thrown vast
pile Of work on him that no previous
mayor has ever had He has never
shirked the job, however, in spite Of
the fact that no appreciable salary is
attached TO the job, but has given
painstaking care and attention to
every detail Of the work and the war
jobs which as mayor fell to his lot.
He certainly deserves the compliment
Of an unopposed reelection. There
seems little complaint with any de-
partment Of the city government, but
some Of the aldermen seem to think
that they have done time long enough
to compensate for all their sins and
the good things without any perquis-
ties ought to be passed around. They
may be able to convince the public
and may not.
The main proposition, however, is
the vote on the proposition to have the
city conduct its own electric light and
power plant, and the attendant pro-
position to bond the city for that pur-
pose. This has been talked many
times in the past, but there was al
ways sufficient division of opinion as
to the advisibility of the move to make
the council hesitate about submitting
it to a vote Of the people. Now, how
ever, Mr.. van Diest has succeeded in
convincing even the most skeptical that
the only hope of the city either for
decent service or fair rates is in a
city owned plant. For more than a
year past he has been giving a con-
tinuous and very illuminating illustra
ton of how he can crack the whip over
a utilities commission, charge what he
pleases for lights, and then not furnish
the light. If his electricity was one
tenth part as Illuminating as his de-
monstration along those lines there
would be less kicking. The citizens Of
Lamar will have to stand together in
favor of a city plant and vote both
for the proposition and the bonds If
they hope in the near future to get
light and power at living rates. Don't
forget the election and vote for big
ger and better Lamar.

HOW TO MAKE SOUP.

In making a soup of good stock it is
wiser and cheaper to make enough to
last two or three days. When thor
oughly cooked strain and set to COOL
then remove the grease, pour off
enough stock for one serving and set
the rest away TO keep cold. Vegetables
or any other edible garnish may then
be added. Should any soup be left over
strain and set aside to add to the next
days portion, but do not turn it into
the unused stock.
In making stock a quart of water is
allowed usually to pound of meat. To
give body to thin soups add litSe
barley. rice, arrowroot, cornstarch, po-
tato flour rubbed to a cream, with a
bit of butter, gelatin, or rice flour that
has been worked free of humps with a
little water or stock.
If a soup made without tomato needs
a little acid TO favor it add the juice
of lemon, orange or ripe grapefruit.
Leeks, eucumbers. pounded celery seed,
burnt vinegar and sweet herbs are all
valuable additions for stock making.
If one is the proud possessor of a herb
garden then all the flavorful herbs
may be dried or preserved i'll spirits of
wine for cooking use.
An odd oriental, fancy is to make a
PURGE of beans so thick that it hardens
! when cold: then A clear soup is made
! and slices of the bean curd are put in
| each portion. 1t is delicate and very
rich and nourishing. Still another idea
