Secretary of
Labor Praises Phil
Browns Work
(Lincoln News Service.)

Washington, Jan. 1, 1924.-Hon. Jas.
]. Davis, secretary of labor made the
following announcement on the death
of Mr. Brown: "The death of Phil II.
Brown, commissioner of conciliation in
charge of Negro economics, inflicts a
distinct loss, not only upon the govern
ment, but also upon the Negro race
and the Republican party. He has
served with unfailing faithfulness to
the best standards of his country, his
party and his race. 1 believe that
Phil Brown has done as much as any
other colored man of his generation to
encourage the members of the Negro
race to play their rightful part in the
political life of the country and to
keep their political activity on the
highest moral plane His recent survey
of the Negro migration contributed,
perhaps, more than any other factor,
to an intelligent understanding OF a
difficult national problem. With a
sense of genuine personal loss in Phil
Browns death, 1 wish to pay this brief
tribute to his memory"
The Colorado statesman., 1924-01-05
Doctors to Black
list Negligent
Patients
(Lincoln News Service.)

Washington, Jan. 1.-The possibil-
ity of Washington physicians estab-
fishing "black list" composed of pa
tients whom they consider able to pay,
but who steadfastly -efuse to, is immi-
nent 1t has been proposed that once
every three months physicians would
send in to a central bureau the names
of those patients who have refused to
pay them. These names would be kept
on file and whenever physician re-
ceiyed a call to new patients he would
call the bureau and find out their sta
tus. 1t is claimed that such bureau
has been found to work satisfactorily
in Chicago. The local doctors have no
desire to list the names of poor peo-
ple who cannot pay, but are after
those who waste their money on lux
uries and then refuse to pay for med
ical services rendered.

THE sALuTATloN OF THE DAWN

Night, with sable, somber sorrow,
Folds her records in mem'ry's book
Unrolls her scroll for glad tomorrow
And points to visions down life's
brook.
o brook from out that hazy future,
Where the down bursts into morn,
Let me rise without conjecture
And top the hill ere day is born.
Let me there in that soft twilight 0
Where Il profound stiffness reigns,
With solemn declaration plight
Deliverance to all in chains.
Thus while on the hill enshrouded
BY the glory of mornings dawn,
Let me see the orb unclouded
Wake the ignoble sleeping fawn.
Wake him from his rank stagnation
For the duties that follow dawn,
Thus aroused-with self abnegnation-
VIII greet the dawn on the upland
lawn.
Patience ROW the dawn is breaking
In the east it's glowing red;
Thus the dawn SaluteS your greeting;

Pros
perity of Kansas
COlOred Farmers
(Lincoln Service.)

Washington, Jan. l, 1924-A typical
case of the progress being made by
colored farmers in western states is
found in Kansas in what is known as
the Hutchinson District" In this dis
trict, which comprises several counties
in the southwestern part of the state,
the 172 pioneer colored farmers who
have found their way from the South
to this agricultural Eldorado. operate
approximately 41,OOO acres, or enough
land, if placed acre to acre, to make
a strip one mile wide and Ga miles
long OF these 172 farmers 116 or 81
per cent are owners, or, In other
words, there are as many owners
among this small group of Kansas
farmers as there are among the 5,461
colored farmers in Leflore county,
Mississippi. But Kansas is an attrac-
tive state, especially for colored men
who know how to farm, as is Indicated
by the fact that out of a total of l.
135 colored farmers in the entire state,
who operate about 171,OO0 acres val
ued, with buildings, at nearly S10,0OO,-
900, about 710 or 62 per cent of them
are owners. In only four other states
having 500 or more colored farmers is
the percentage of ownership higher,
and these are, in the order named,
West Virginia, Michigan, Ohio and Vir-
ginia.
Concerning the value of the farm
produce raised in the Hutchinson
District" last year, the Hutchinson
News says: "The produce raised last
year Tin that particular districD had a
value equal to twelve times as much
as all the gold produced in Alaska last
year; eight times as much as all the
gold and silver mined in Colorado; it
was S24,000,000 more than all the cop
per produced in Arizona nearly twice
the value of all the iron ore mined in
Michigan; nearly three times as much
as all the coal mined in Kansas, Mis-
souri, and Oklahoma combined; three
times the value of all the granite quar-
ried in New England, and four times
