south AMERICA IS
LOGICAL COUNTRY
FOR BLACK PEOPLE

Rio De Janiero, Brazil, s. A., Feb.
3.-The Brazilian government has put
the official stamp of its approval on
the plans of the Brazilian-American
Colonization Syndicate. It has been
officially determined that the first
colony of American colonists shall be
set up in the state of Matto Crosse
within few miles of Cuyaba, the
capital of the state.
This situation is in the very center
of one of the richest sections in the
whole Brazilian Republic. The pres
ent value of the land is 1925 an acre.
Under the intensive farming system
employed among the greater number
of American farmers, in and out of
the cotton district, this value, in a
short time, should literally jump to
ten times this value. Virgin soil, an
equitable climate and the kindly SUI
pervisory interest of the national Bra
lillian government combine to make
this chance a golden one in every
particular.
Particular attention has been given
to the housing problems that will
naturally arise in the colony for solu-
tion. Ample provisions have been
provided by the national government
to meet the demands in this con-
nection. When a settler has paid
his $4,000 for his 100 hectares (247
acres), three-room house will be
built for him at a cost of S250.O0
which must be paid in advance. This
plan insures a high grade of set
tiers for the colony and makes it
an easy matter to maintain a high
degree of community cooperation.
The first group of settlers will leave
New York City on the 21st of next
June.
No color line" climate ut for
the gods, soil rich as gold in it's
productive power, and government
strong in its dispensations of the
law, yet kindly in it's official super
vision of the peoples interests, all
go to make Brazil a most desirable
garden spot for all and any who
want to breathe the pure social and
Industrial air of a true Democracy.
"This is the place / have long de-
sired to- know about, shouted an
enthusiastic prospective colonist not
long since. Here is where l throw
my hat in the ring of a new life
and proceed to live for God and
humanity" Enthusiasm has even
gripped the natives since the govern
ment has given its approval to the
plan of the Brazilian-American Syn
dicate. Old residents of Rio Janiero
declare that the American Negro is
the only kind of emigrant to encour-
age to come into the country. Be-
sides ties of blood they possess the
tropical nature in a degree that will
make them easily assimiable and
therefore easily nationalized In any
event Brazilians are very enthusiastic
over the prospects of having a good
ly number of American Negro colo
nists come into the country at this
time as settlers. If appearances go
for anything it truly looks good for
the new colonists.

FOllOWlng IS poem composed Dy
Mrs. J. F. Hudspeth, 1912 East Jeffer.
son street, and which she recited at
he C. NJ. E. church on the evening
If the great debate. The poem fol
ows:
Well, dey say
There's going to be debate,
And / sho had TO hurry
To keep from being late.
Wen. I'm here
And so is you.
So we all can see
What desc speakers going to do.
And I wuz a hurrin'
And er comm along
Jest er talking TO myself
And er singin' a little song;
And never thought thing
Till l got to the door,
Right dar-I had to pay
Fer to see dis show.
Who ever heard
OF such a thing before,
Folks just er paying.
Fer to get in the door;
And everybody's here
And dat you'll see,
But chile-I sho thought
Dis thing was free.
All dis talk
About de Arizona state
Has stirred up fuss,
And caused this debate;
Mississippi, Texas,
West Virginia-and Arkansas, too,
And desc hot deserts
Fer to season the stew.
I sho aint in favor
Of dis desert land,
l sides wild de negative,
Dere's where ! stand;
If l wuz Judge,
De negative would win,
Gaze livin' in Arizona
Has caused me to sin.
But Lindsey and Jones
And Smith and Jones,
When it comes to speakin,
Dey is some High Tones;
Dis state may be great,
But it sho is late;
So argue it out, boys,
Dis sho is some debate.

While we have not had much rea-
son to love Mr. Wilson aside from
our duty to love all men regardless
of who or what they may be, let us
all tender him our best wishes for a
long life, much love and abounding
prosperity upon the land which his
Lord hath given unto him.

for their labor. Every day the sun
shines in Arizona We have only two
seasons, spring and summer, and sell
dom if ever is one forced to remain
indoors on account of inclement
weather. Not another state in the
Union can successfully lay claim to
similar climatic conditions.
Second: Because it's a privilege
to live in Arizona, and that privilege
carries with it an opportunity to be
religious in the truest sense of the
word The Apostle James says: True
religion and undefiled before God is
this, to visit the fatherless and widows
in their affliction and to keep him
self unspotted from the world The
sick and afflicted come here in large
numbers, greater by far than in any
other state in the Union, and we have
an excellent opportunity to show our
Nfli lSlldnlll ny ing 70 lnCilA.
Third: Because Arizona the Baby
State, last to be admitted to state
hood, is an entirely new field, pre-
senting unlimited opportunities that
need only to be developed. Here, we
have an opportunity to initiate things
and show originality, prove our worth
as it were.
''William Shakespeare defined op-
portunity when he penned these i'm
mortal lines: There is a tide in the
affairs of men, which taken at the
flood, leads on to fortune The op-
portunity is in the man, and unless
he be prepared to take the tide when
it reaches the flood, his chances for
success are nil.
"The great trouble with most people
is, they never go on voyage of dis
covery in their own natures. They are
constantly looking for outside help,
outside power, when, as a matter of
fact, the only motor power they can
ever get hold of is right inside Of
them.
ARIZONA is the state that will bring
out the best there is in you. True, we
may encounter difficulties, but it is
the difficult things in life that develop
our mental and moral muscle, that
build courage and stamina.
Again | say, the secret of your
future is all inside of you. OF course,
you cannot uncoil in your nature what
was not coiled up there you cannot
evolve that which was not first in
volyed, but much depends on the kind
of effort you put in the evolving
process. Right here, l want to say
with all the'force can command, that
preparedness is the essential thing
for success in any line and in any
place. If unprepared, you cannot
grasp opportunity when it comes. To
every man, each opportunity is worth
exactly what he is prepared to make
of it.
ut does not matter what you in
tend to do in life. whether you are to
be shoemaker legislator, teacher, a
business man or farmer, the mar
that God folded up in you should be
unfolded Education is one of the
secret keys that unlocks the door .tc
opportunity. Its a process of unfold
ing. Having decided what you desire
to be in life and after backing up that
