There is nothing new under the
sun. New York bank explores his
tory and finds that, as far back as
the Revolutionary War Yankees had
cooperative associations like the
farm bureaus and oranges of 1924,
And they had about the same pur-
poses.
After the Civil War came an cpl
demic of coop marketing organiza-
tons to find shortcuts between
farm and consumer, and credit or
CARNATIONS to tide the farmer

Economic troubles are more

Resident of
st. Louis Is
Given Award

st. Louis, Mo-, Jan. 1T-Mrs. Cora
Mckinney, 1926 Walnut street, this
city, was awarded damages of $4,000
instead of $4,000 for which she sued
the Frisco Railroad Company, by
Jury in Circuit Judge Landwehr's
court last week The suit grew out OF
an injury which Mrs. Mckinney suf-
fered in railroad accident near Wit
tenburg, Mo-, in 1922. The award of
the Jury is believed to have set pre-
cedent in st. Louis courts.
The accident occurred in September
of 1922. when rains had wrecked
bridge to such an extent that 1t gave
way while a train was passing over
it. Four people were killed and seven
ty-five severely injured. Mrs. Mckin-
ney, according TO witnesses, was in the
third car, day coach, which went
over an embanbment. She sustained
injuries from which she is still suf-
fering, it was disclosed.
The defendants in the case at
tempted to win the suit Dy proving
that the wreck was an "act of Cod
and that it was unavoidable. This
argument was overbalanced by that
presented by Attorney Edward w.
Foristel, representing Mrs. Mckinney
who produced a newspaper reporters
testimony that he had investigated
the bridge at the time of the accident
and found that trestles supporting the
bridge over which the train ran had
decayed.
The award was raised from the fig
ure named in the bill to $4,000 when
it was brought out at the trial that
Mrs. McKinney's injuries were of a
more serious nature than was at first
believed by the railroad officials.

Distinguished Army

Ending Career as
Minis ter an d
Author

Wilberforce. Ohio, Jan. 11.-Chap-
lain Theophilus G. Steward died here
at p. m. today of acute indigestion
He was apparently in the best OF
health when he was seized with the at
tack and died within an hour.
DIR. Steward is well known as a
chaplain in the United States army
and as an officer at Wilberforce Uni
versity, where he has resided for many
years. Chaplain Steward saw service
in tent, in the barracks and in the
field, He served with distinction in
Haiti and the Philippines. He was at
one time chaplain of the United States
regiment stationed at Fort MlssouIa,
Montana.
He was born in 1S45. He was ad-
mitted to the travelling connection of
the A. M. f. Church on June 4, 1864, at
Salem, New Jersey. His career as an
evangelical preacher was very sue
cessful one. Cultured, genial, pious
and eloquent, he attracted many peo-
pie to his church who had never be-
fore seen anything good, or elevating
in Methodism. His work as an evan
eelist ended when he was appointed
chaplain of the 725th q. S. regiment.
Chaplain Steward was a voluminous
nroducer of potential literature. His
works include pamphlets and substan-
tial books on theology and history. q,
Cbanlain Steward is survived by five
sons. among whom is Attorney Frank
r. Steward of Pittsburgh. He was
buried at Bridgeport, Connecticut,

The Colorado statesman., 1924-01-26

Howard Snyder, who lives in Mis-
sissippi. writing in the North Ameri-
can Review for January, 1924, asserts
that the burning alive of Negroes in
the South is one of the main causes
of the northward migration. Many of
the names of the victims, he asserts
after an extended journey through the
Southern cotton belt never reach the
newspapers and the public. He writes:
"Nowhere on the earth among civil
lized nations are such atrocious out
RACES committed against human beings
as are committed in the South against
the Negro. Almost any day we can
read of some benighted Negro peas
ant being hunted down with hounds
or shot by a posse of men, or burned
at the stake amid the multitudinous
cheers of n vast concourse of people.
That the South should expect these
same benighted people to remain with
her and uncomplainingly endure all
this, when a twenty-dollar Dill VIII
carry a man beyond its occurrence
passes my understanding.
"The race problem is no longer
problem of the South alone. With the
Negro press everywhere increasing its
circulation, and such far-reachlng or
panizations as the National Associa-
ton for the Advancement OF Colored
People working through its local or
panizations in every community to up
hold the rights of the Negro and to
demand that justice be given him, and
TO urge that Negro children every
where attend elementary schools, the
race problem is by no means confined
to the South.
"The South has made a gross blun-
der in trying to coddle itself into be-
lieving that the way to keep It's aDuh-
dance of labor was to keep the nlS-
ger down. and that the average Ne
gro neither could nor would learn
Nothing could have been more fatai TO
the South, insofar as holding the Ne
gro race goes. Again, the South trlea
to nersuade herself to believing that
4bose Same Negroes who had lived all
their lives in the bondage or deDt'
want, and privation, would come pack
+o the plantations like the prodigal
son of old. The fact is that they are
not doing so, and my conviction ls'
that they will not do 1t. In the North
the employers are studying the vasF
armies of Negro laborers that come 70
them TO learn their likes and dislikes'
weaknesses failures, needs and health
requirements. They are not only sue
ceeding in holding the Negroes but IN
getting far better work out OF thein
than is to be had on the plantations.

Offers $1,000 Toward
$4,000 Fund If N.
A. A. C. p. Raises
Rest i'm so Days
Makes Unconditional Gift
of $500

Philip G. Peabody, a noted lawyer
of Boston, who has for a number of
years been interested in the anti
lynching fight waged by the National
Association for the Advancement Of
Colored People, 60 Fifth avenue, New
York, has sent that body a check for
$500 and has further offered $1,000 to
complete a fund of $4,000, if the n.
A. A. C. P. will raise the other $4,000
in period of sixty days, the final
date set being March 10, 1924.
The n. \. A. C. p. has begun an in
tenslve campaign to raise the money
to meet Mr.. Peabody's offer.
,s1r Peabody has long been an active
supporter of the n. A. A. C. P. Since
1913 he has contributed in cash ST.
922.5 so besides his legal advice, partic-
ularly with regard to federal anti
lynching legislation. Mr.. Peabody is
practically the father of the anti
lynching fund, with which the N. A.
A. C. p. has been able to wage so eff
fective a campaign against mob vio-
lence. In 1916 he offered $1,000
towards such fund provided $4,000
be raised. The latter amount was OBJ
tained by the N a. A. C. p. and with
the $4,000 thus obtained the intensive
campaign of investigation and pub
licity was started which eliminated in
the introduction in Congress of the
anti-lynching bill.
James Weldon Johnson, secretary of
the n. A. A. C. p, in announcing Mr..
Peabody's generous offer said:
"NIr. Peabody has asked the coiored
people of the United States a ques-
ton. He has said to them: DO you
really want to see lynching stopped,
Negroes protected in court, and dis
elimination fought? If you do, are
you willing to pay-the price?
"The bulk of the $4,000 to meet Mr..
Peabodys offer must come from col
ored people, and properly so. But
white friends will help. Already one
There are many colored men and wom-
en- with us in spirit, who can now
translate that spirit into action. To
obtain Mr.. Peabodys $1,000 we must
have in the National office by March
10, $4,000 to meet his generous offer.
Present contributors to the n. n. n.
c. =. can helm in two WAYS: by con-
tributing themselves and by soliciting
contributions from those who have not
given before.
81 believe the colored people of the
United States are interested enough in
their own welfare to meet this offer"
Contributions may be sent to the
Treasurer, n. A. a. c. p, SO Fifth
Avenue, New York. The n. A. A. c.
p will publish the names of all con-
tributors of 50 or more.
