THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY NEGRO CONGRESS The Second Annual National Negro Educational Congress Closed Last Tuesday With Much Work Accomplished Resolutions Adopted Condemning Mob Violence. VOL. XVII. NEGRO CO The Second Annual National Closed Last Tuesday With Resolutions Adopted Co The National Negro Educational Congress, which convened in this city last Saturday, closed its session last Tuesday. The Congress was represented by delegates from every state in the Union and many of whom participated on the program with interesting papers and addresses. Wm. McDonald of Port Worth, Tex., presided over the meeting, which from start to finish proved to be one that will go down in history for its great accomplishments for the race. The following resolutions were adopted condemning the recent lynchings in Pennsylvania and Oklahoma. "Whereas, we note with regret the lawlessness of some of the citizens of the state of Pennsylvania in committing mob violence upon another citizen of that commonwealth, also the lawlessness of some of the citizens of the state of Oklahoma in committing similar acts of violence upon a citizen within said state within the last few days, therefore be it Resolutions of Censure. "Resolved, that we the accredited delegates to this congress do, in the strongest possible language, condemn any and all acts of mob violence upon any man, any woman or any human being at any time or in any place. "Resolved, further, that we do now put ourselves on record for all time to come as unalternably opposed to any and all acts of lawlessness committed by any citizen of this nation, but especially do we condemn said acts and all of them committed by a member of the negro race, and we will henceforth renew our efforts in trying to stamp out lawlessness in any and all forms among the members of our race. "Resolved, further, that we are heartily in favor of the strictest enforcementes and most exacting execution of any and all of the criminal laws upon the statutes of the various states of this nation; but we are unalterably opposed to the placing of one construction and interpretation upon said laws as applicable to the Negro and a different construction and interpretation upon the same laws when applied to any other citizen than a Negro. Pledge to Uphold Laws. "Resolved, further, that we do now reiterate declarations heretoforemade that we will uphold and sustain the law both of the respective states and of the nation and we will heartily support those officials and executives who fearlessly enforce said laws without regard to race, color or previous condition of servitude, and in this connection do we especially commend the stand taken by Governor Shafroth in preventing violators of the law from disgracing this great commonwealth by committing mob violence upon helpless and defenseless citizens of this state, also do we commend the heroic stand taken by Governor Lee Cruce of Oklahoma in behalf of a Negro citizen and in behalf of the Negro racewhen he commuted the sentence of John Henry Prather. "Be is further resolved that we thank the press of this city for its liberality in publishing the proceedings of this congress, and in this connection do we especially commend the editor of The News for the strong editorial denouncing the mob violence of Pennsylvania." A separate motion was passed thanking Governor Shafroth for his prompt action in preventing the lynching of Robert Harris of Rocky Ford, accused of murder. Vice-President J. D. Harkless, assisted by the local committee, deserves no little amount of praise for the untiring efforts put forth to make the convention a success. Mr. Harkless is responsible for the Congress coming to Denver, and notwithstanding he did not receive the amount supported by the citizens of Denver as he should have. He saw to it that the delegates were well cared for and extended the hospitality of the city and state for which the resolutions verify. The next place of meeting will be held at St. Paul, Minn. The officers elected were as follows: President J. Silas Harris of Kansas City; vice president, Wm. H. Harrison of Okla.; recording secretary, Miss J. C.

By Booker T. Washington. While I was in Vienna I went out one Sunday evening to the Prater, the great public park, which seems to be a sort of combination of Central Park in New York and Coney Island. In this park one may see all types of Austrian life, from the highest to the lowest. Sunday seems however, to be the day the common people and the night I visited the place there were, in addition to the ordinary laboring people of the city hundreds, perhaps thousands, of peasant people from the country there. They were mostly young men and women who had evidently come into the city for the Sunday holiday. Beside the sober, modern dress of the city crowds these peasant women, with their high boots, the bright-colored kerchiefs over their heads, and their wide, flaring, voluminous skirts (sometning like those of a female circus-rider, only a little longer and not so gauzy), made a stange and picturesque appearance. Meanwhile there was a great flare of music of a certain sort; and a multitude of catchpenny shows, mountebanks, music halls, theaters, merry-go-rounds and dancing pavillions gave the place the appearance of a stupendous country fair. I do not think that I ever saw anywhere, except at a picnic or a barbecue among the Negroes of the Southern States, people who gave themselves up so frankly and with such entire zest to the simple, physical sort of enjoyment! Everywhere there were eating, drinking and dancing, but nevertheless I saw no disorder, very few people who seemed to be the worse for drinking, and in no instance did I see people who showed, in the disorber of their dress or in the blotched appearance of their faces, the effects of continued excesses such as one sees in so many parts of the London. The people were, for the most part, neatly and cleanly dressed, each class of people seemed to have its own place of amusement and its own code of manners, and every one seemed to keep easily and naturally within the restraints which custom prescribed. I do not mean to say that I approve of this way of spending the Sabbath, I simply desire to point out the fact, which others have noticed, that the effect of the drinking habit seem to be quite different in England from what it is in countries on the Continent. I had an opportunity to observe the evil effects of the drinking habit upon the Englishwomen of the lower classes when I visited some of the police courts in the poorer parts of London. Richmond, Va., Aug. 9.—The grand jury today indicted five general officers of the Grand Fountain of the Order of True Reformers, a Negro frateral order, for complicity in the looting and wrecking of the True Reformers' bank. The grand jury estimates the amount of shortage as traced to date at $290,000. The officers indicated are W. L. Taylor, grand master; Edward L. Ellis, Jr., vice grand master; W. P. Burrell, grand secretary; J. C. Robertson, general attorney, and Reuben T. Hill, cashier of the True Reformers' bank, who is now a fugitive under indictment for grand larceny. Richmond Negroes are highly excited by the development. Many of them have lost their savings of a life time in the crash of the True Reformers' Bank and in the collapse of the fraternal order which founded it. There are upward of 3,000 subordinate fountains and the membership of the order of True Reformers is spread over twenty-eight different states. A NEW APPOINTMENT Washington, D. C., August 11. Through persons who are in a position to know, information comes to us that Captian Charles Young, commander of I Troop of the Ninth Cavalry and commander of the third squadron of the regiment, will be advanced to the rank of major in the fall. This will be the first time that a colored man has reached so high a position in the regular army of the United States in time of peace, excepting of course, the advancement that has come to chaplains. Captain Young is a West Pointer, an Ohioan by birth, and a gentleman by practice whom the enlisted men honor and respect. He is a scholar and a lover of the race whom all who know him delight to see advance, for he believes in lifting as he climbs. It Wasn't a Plot. It Wasn't a Plot. "What do you think of the plot?" asked the theater manager. "That isn't a plot," replied the man who had paid two dollars to see the show. "That's a conspiracy."—Washington Star. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Chicago, Ill., Aug. 4.—Mrs. Ida Wells-Barnett, platform speaker, race leader and editor, a woman of international acquaintance, has been selected by the National Independent Political League to organize auxiliaries for Illinois, and Kentucky.

Guthrie, Okla., Aug. 8.—The Supreme Court of the United States will determine the constitutionality of the "Jim Crow" law passed some months ago in this state. Attorneys Harrison, Barbour and Tyler will contend that the obnoxious measure is in direct conflict with the interstate commerce law. California points, they are much improved in health. Rev. J. W. Rodgers, chairman of our local delegates to the National Negro Educational Congress left Thursday for Denver to attend the session. A grand reception was given last week at the home of Miss Francis Ellsworth by the Choral club to assist the delegates to the National Negro Congress. A nice program was rendered and refreshments served. Mrs. M. Houston and daughter Monica of Los Angeles left for their home last week accompanied Application has been made to the directors of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition Company by widely known Negroes, including Booker T. Washington, Bishop C. H. Phillips and Bishop H. M. Turner for permission to install a Negro department in the exposition of 1915. Embodied in the application is a request that the department be officered and controlled by Negroes under the supervision of the officials of the company. Instead of being local in its scope, as in the case of the Atlanta and Jamestown expositions, it is suggested that the Negro department of the San Francisco exposition be international in scope. Chicago, Aug. 7.—F. A. Holmes a Negro running under the colors of the Illinois State Gaelic Athletic Association, was the individual star of annual Gaelic meet here today, gaining the highest individual points and winning the meet for his team. Dan Ahearn was the only one of the three New York record holders—Ahearn, Melvin Sheppard and Con Walsh—who completed in the meet who was able to gain a place, mainly because of the handicaps imposed on the Easterners. Sheppard ran a strong race in the mile run, but was unable to overcome his handicap. Walsch entered all weight events, but was unable to gain a place. ALBUOUERQUE NEWS. Mrs. L. S.

Ellsworth. Rules and Exceptions. "Any fool can find fault," James G. Cannon of New York cautions a group of ministers. In a notoriously fault finding world most of us will be inclined to lay the flattering unction to our souls that the maxim does not apply both ways, to affirm that anybody that finds fault is a fool.

A striking advance in government ownership of public utilities is about to be made by Great Britain taking over the entire telephone system of the country capitalized at $80,000,000, and with half a million instruments and 18,000 employees. There now appears little hope of averting a great railroad strike in Great Britain, which probably will be accompanied by a general labor revolt nat will have a tremendous effect on the trade of the United Kingdom. All railroads will fight labor. SPORT. Western League Standing. P. W. L. Pct.

Following the receipt of President Taft's emphatic veto of the statehood resolution, a final attempt to secure statehood for New Mexico and Arizona began in both houses of Congress.

Montrose.—The Reclamation Service announces that work on the dam across the Gunnison river, near the Gunnison tunnel, stopped last May on account of high water, will be resumed at once. The object is to assure a flow of 1,300 second feet through the tunnel during periods of low water in the river. The structure is 210 feet long, six feet high and sixty-two feet wide. World's Highest Dirt Dam. Florence.—Plans have been filed in the office of State Engineer Comstock for what if completed will be the highest earth dam in the world. The proposed dam is to be erected on Hard-scrrabble creek and it is planned to make it 210 feet in height. The highest earth dam on record was constructed in Mexico and was 180 feet in height. It was not a successful piece of work and was washed away. It is figured that the Hardscrrabble dam will cost well over $500,000. It will contain roughly 1,750,000 cubic yards of earth. It is necessary to build it to so great a height in order that a sufficiently large amount of water may be stored. It will be over 1,000 feet in length. The Hardscrabble Irrigation District which plans the construction of the dam, is located in the southern part of Fremont and northern Custer county, a few miles south of Florence. It is planned to put water on a large area of land by the construction of the giant dam. It will be built at an elevation of 6,456 feet above sea level. Favors Homesteaders. Washington—Easier, and what he considers more just, terms of proof for homesteaders under the law, permitting 320-acre entries in arid districts, will be fought for by Representative Martin of Colorado. In a bill he introduced he makes provision for the cultivation of 20-acres during the first year of occupation, instead of 40 acres, as provided by the present law, and of 40 acres in the second year, instead of 80 acres. "It is manifestly unfair," said Martin, "to require settlers to primarily cultivate larger proportions of land on which it is apparent that they cannot make a ready living, than is required under the 160-acre homestead law. "I consider the stipulations congress has imposed in regard to acquiring the 320-acre tracts more exacting than they should be, and I expect to make a fight next winter to have them modified." At a meeting of the house committee on mines and mining Representative Taylor was appointed chairman of a sub-committee of seven members, which is to investigate the placing of experiment stations of the bureau of mines. During the vacation months the subcommittee will examine the claims of the various localities in that regard and submit recommendations to the committee. Representative Taylor secured the promise of Chairman Henry, of the House committee on rules, to call up the Guggenheim-Taylor bill, granting an additional million acres of land to Colorado, and also the Warren homesteaders' relief measure, granting leave of absence until April 15, next. This insures the passage of both measures during the present session, both having passed the senate. College Land Ordered Sold. Denver.—The sale of 8,000 acres of Montezuma valley land, belonging to the State College of Agriculture at Fort Collins has been ordered sold by the State Agricultural Board. The sale of this land which will be made by the State Land Board is one of the largest that has been attempted for some time. It is believed that the average price received for the land will be 20 ancre. This will mean a fund of $160,000 for the state school. LITTLE COLORADO ITEMS.

LOOKS BAD FOR ARIZONA PRESIDENT BITTERLY OPPOSED TO JUDICIAL RECALL CLAUSE Western Newspaper Union News Service. Washington.—On the success of a proposed attempt of the Senate and House committees to frame jointly a compromise resolution approving their constitutions now hinges statehood for New Mexico and Arizona. New Mexico will become a state at the end of the next regular session unless Congress meantime disapproves of its constitution, the President having already approved of that territory's constitution, but not of Arizona's. If the new resolution to supplant the one vetoed by the President should become a law at this session, both Arizona and New Mexico would be admitted to the Union at once. "The only advantage that New Mexico can possibly get under the proposed resolution," said Chairman William A. Smith of the Senate territories committee, "is a prompt approval by the present Congress of the constitution and immediate admission, instead of admission at the end of the next regular session of Congress, which probably will be about June next." The situation is followed closely by Democrats and Republicans because o the differing political conditions in the two territories. Sub-committees of the territories committees of the House and Senate held a conference, but little progress was made. The Senate committee will meet to agree on a program and will receive the House sub-committee; headed by Chairman Flood. The conference was held on the assumption that the proposed resolution would provide for an elimination of judicial recall from the Arizona constitution, thus making the legislation acceptable to the President. Differences arose as to how the resolution should be worded on this point and in regard to the proposed amendments to the New Mexico constitution relating to the manner of amending that instrument. The most serious difference between the two committees is said to be in regard to the New Mexico constitution. Senator Nelson's proposed wording of the resolution was characterized by the House committee as not meeting fully the criticisms that the constitution was too difficult of amendment. Senator Nelson is said to have replied that nothing further in this connection would be agreed to by the Senate at this time. "There is some chance of agreeing, but not much," said Representative Flood after the conference. Senator William A. Smith of the Senate committee was more optimistic. "There is a strong likelihood that the House and Senate may agree on a joint resolution admitting Arizona and New Mexico forthwith," said Mr. Smith. "The issue raised by the President's veto so far as Arizona is concerned probably will be met by a constitutional amendment that the recall shall not apply to judicial officials. "The New Mexico constitution has been criticised by some members of the House and Senate because it is difficult of amendment. The House and Senate committees are now considering the question of resubmitting to the voters of New Mexico a constitutional amendment to change this." Mine Safety Demonstration. Washington.—The National Mine Safety Demonstration to be held in Pittsburg, Pa., October 26 and 27, is expected to be attended by thirty thousand miners from the different mining states of the country. The demonstration is to be given under the auspices of the Federal Bureau of Mines and will be attended by President Taft and Secretary of Interior Fisher, the former delivering an address on the second day. Casey Pays the Penalty. Carson City, Nev.—Patrick C. Casey was executed here for the murder of Mrs. Lucy Heslip of Gildfield just two years ago. Troops on Mexican Border Washington.—The War Department has ordered re-established a patrol of the California frontier by United States troops, abolished only a short time ago, because of a threatening situation just south of the border in Lower California, Mexico. To Investigate Panama Canal. Washington.—The Panama canal work is now proposed for investigation, by Chairman Wilson of the House committee on labor. TAKING SPOTS. FROM LINEN Many Ways by Which Unsightly Stains May Be Removed With Little Trouble. When your table linen or fine dollles become stained or spotted with anything that will not easily wash out, be sure to remove the spot before sending the linen to the laundry. Berry and fruit stains can be removed very easily by holding the cloth tightly over the top of a bowl and pouring boiling water very slowly through the mark until it disappears. Salt dampened with lemon juice laid on the spot and subjected to the hot sun will remove ink spots from linen. One of the hardest stains to take out of fine linen is that made by the lead of an indelible pencil. Great care must be taken to clean this kind of a spot or your linen will be ruined. Under no circumstances touch water to such a spot. Mix together four tablespoonfuls of peroxide of hydrogen and four tablespoonfuls of clear water. Lay the soiled spot on an old piece of linen folded to several thicknesses or over several thicknesses of white blotting paper and with a clean sponge or bit of clean linen sop the spot with the mixture and lay it in the direct rays of the sun. Repeat this process until the spot disappears and allow it to remain in the sun until it has bleached a pure white. RECIPE FOR PERFECT BREAD Proper Combination of Ingredients and Due Preparation All That Is Needed. At noon boil two potatoes; pour the water from the potatoes on two rounded tablespoons of sugar and one of salt; add the potatoes, mash fine; let stand until evening. Dissolve one fresh compressed yeast cake in a little water, and add to the liquid; stir well. There should be at least one and one-half quarts of the liquid. In the morning stir and take out a pint in a Mason fruit jar; set the lid on, but do not screw down, and set beside ice. Mix the remaining quart with about two and three-quarters quarts of good bread flour and one tablespoon of lard; let raise twice and then make into loaves, handling and working as little as possible. When baking again start as at first, with two potatoes, sugar, and salt; at night add yeast saved in the jar; in the morning stir and take out a pint as at first; it will not be necessary to buy yeast again all summer, and the bread is delicious. Invalid Soup. Half a pint of strong beef tea or mutton broth, two raw yolks of eggs, two small teaspoonfuls of raw sage, seasoning. Put the sage into a small quantity of boiling water, and boil till it is quite clear. Then strain off the water. Heat the beef tea, add the sago, beat up the yolks of eggs and strain them into the soup. Heat very carefully. On no account let it boll or it will curdle and be spoiled. See that it is nicely seasoned and serve hot. This will be found quite a change when the ordinary beef tea is weared of. For the Dishwasher. Besides having a pot chain and scraper you should have thick canvas cloths for the pots and pans and separate light cloths for the finer chinaware. A rubber sponge is just the thing for greasy dishes. One of these lasts a long time and gives you such satisfaction that you will never do without one once you try them. Cake tins, patty pans and all small tinware boiled in a dishpan in the water of which a handful of soda has been thrown will become fresh and clean and as bright as new. A Fresh Egg Dish. For eggs as a French chef prepares them, fry half a small onion sliced in butter until it is golden brown. Then turn in a cupful of tomatoes, seasoned with butter, salt and pepper, and cook for ten minutes. Turn the mixture into a wide-bottom saucepan and drop into it eggs that have not had the yolks broken. Cook them slowly, lifting them from the bottom of the dish with a fork, not stirring them, as in serambling. Tomato Butter. Wash four pounds of well-flavored apples, cut them into quarters and remove the cores; add seven pounds of washed and sliced ripe tomatoes and one cup of water and let simmer until very tender, then rub through a sieve. Add four pounds of brown sugar, two-thirds of a cup of vinegar, one teaspoon each of salt, cloves and ginger and two teaspoons of cinnamon. Boll until thick and can while hot. Lobster and Cress on Toast. Fry a small chopped onion a delicate brown in a tablespoon of butter. Chop a small bunch of water cress and add to it also a half pint of good rich milk. Add a pint of minced lobster meat and season with salt, pepper and a bunch of curry powder. Spread on slices of cayenne and brown very lightly in a hot oven. Chicken Broth. Take a chicken or gowl and break the bones. Clean carefully. Put into a saucepan two quarts of water, a small onion, two tablespoonfuls of rice and salt to taste. Skim when it boils. Cover closely and allow it to simmer for six hours if a fowl and five hours if a chicken. Groceries, Meats, Hay, Grain, Etc.

We used to speak of epidemics of lynching, when that barbarous practice received some unusual impetus and seemed to show evidence of contagion. The expression granted the existence of a moral and social weakness which would yield to scientific treatment, but the recent revival of the scourge in its most virulent form indicates that its seat in the white man's nature is of a mental rather than a physical character. Oklahoma's recent disgrace, through the ruthless murder of a colored woman and her child by a jelly-brained mob, has been quite surpassed in Pennsylvania, where a wounded Negro prisoner, chained to a hospital cot, was carried and dragged, cot and all, over several miles of road, and thrown into a blazing fire, where, against his struggles to liberate himself from his chains, he was kept in place and in fiery torment with fence rails, pitch-forks and other improvised prods and tongs. His crime was attempted robbery and the killing of a white officer undertaking his arrest. His punishment was far beyond the revenge of the savage. Proper Manner of Greeting One's Wife By N. TREBLE Miller, Ind. Race hatred, pure and simple, and the undeniable social degeneracy of that strata of the white race which knows no other source of reform than violence, gives little hope for the success of the desire of reasoning men for the triumph of law and the adjustment of racial relations in the United States upon a common standard. It is interesting to note the similarity of procedure in Pennsylvania and in the darkest South in these lynching cases, even to the subtle manufacture of false press reports. The white man commits a thousand crimes to avenge one crime of a Negro. And he is so unashamed that he ravenously gathers souvenirs of his own atrocities and exhibits them with glee and gloating. Lynching is a white man's problem; Negroes should hold no mass meetings over it. In the endeavor to minimize and eradicate crime, we are doing our part well, but the white man's civilization is at stake. Race hatred is the pall of national glory, and the white man's best efforts are needed for his own redemption. THE THORN IN THE FLESH. English Children Show Respectfor Parents By M. M. DIAZ Tampa, Fla. IT is often by unpleasant contrasts that pleasures are realized and appreciated in their fuller degree. After the rigors and hardships of winter we fairly revel in the beauties of summer. The man who has never known a day's sickness does not realize what a blessing health is, but the man who has been afflicted, and is cured, sets high value on the hardened strength that he has regained. And men are often taught the value of things by a scourge that is nothing less than providential. "Whom the Lord loveth He chasteneth." Yet many of us see no good in the ills that we bear. Naturally we lament and complain of them, and would escape them if we could, but after all, they bring their benefits. The colored American is working his way up through a thorny path. He gets a prick here and a gouge there, and seems never without a thorn in the flesh, yet the wounds heal almost as fast as they are made and the ointment of wisdom points us to a cleaner course and fits us for a harder struggle. There is joy in the progress we are making, but there is no danger of our forgetting that we are not yet out of the bramble. the part of the young. In fact, we are a long way from the clearing, for no sooner do we escape one thorny thicket than we find ourselves struggling against the galling scourge of another. But we learn by experience the nature of the bush we have to overcome, and in spite of its virulent and tangled meshes, we know better how to clip its thorns and heal its wounds. During all of his active official life, United States Senator Benjamin Tillman of South Carolina was a veritable thorn in the flesh of the weak and struggling American Negro. He pierced and wounded him ruthlessly and without mercy, but the very savagery of his attack brought forth a blessed store of sympathy, which healed the wounds and helped the Negro on his way. In the course of time, under the rush of many feet and the ordinance of Providence, the bush of Tillman was stricken and blighted, and it is withering and dying, almost alone and forgotten in the heat and ooze of its native swamp. But the species is by no means extinct, for as one falls and is trampled into the mire of forgetfulness, another raises its vicious, thorny head in the forward path. In the State Democratic primary election held in Mississippi last week, James K. Vardeman, ex-governor, radical sensationalist and Negro-hater, was endorsed for election by the Legislature to the office of United States senator, over Senator Leroy Percy, the present incumbent, and one other candidate. Senator Percy is a man of high mind and liberal spirit, and his campaigns have been waged on lines directly opposed to the vicious race policies of Vardeman and Tillman. The result of the primary election indicates that the people of Mississippi have not yet heard the voice of Progress loudly calling for the awakening of the South. But the Negro knows what to expect of Vardeman. There are others of his species in Congress, but none so vicious. Yet the light in the nation is greater than the light in Mississippi, and we predict that the Vardeman of the bayou and swamp will find many a pruning knife awaiting to clip his thorns when he is transplanted in the cultivated soil of the United States Senate.

T is hard to lay down any hard and fast rule as to which is better, a house or a flat. A family of small means and without children can generally get more comfort for the same money in a flat than in a house. The mere fact of having all the rooms on the same level and not being obliged to go up and down stairs, is a great saving of labor to those members of the family who wear skirts. The property is owned by the Company by deed from the Government, operated solely by Negro business men and Negro labor. One of my college classmates told me that until she tried it she had never realized the difficulties of going upstairs with the baby on one arm and a lamp in the other hand, and For particulars see J. W. Jackson, President of the Negro Educational Congress; Rev. J. W. Hurse, Rev. W. C. Williams. trying to hold up her dress at the same time. It really seemed as if nature should have given women a third hand. G. C. SAMPLE. But when there are children of an age to run about, their parents need a house. Children must play if they are to be healthy and happy, and they can hardly play in a flat without disturbing the neighbors and causing distress to aged people and invalids. There are also many grown persons who prefer a house because of its greater privacy. Flats are better for some families and houses for others. As I said in the beginning, no hard and fast rule can be made. Cut this Out for Reference D'ON'T MISS IT! My father had so strong a conviction of the unwisdom of bringing up families in flats that he built a number of small houses for single families, although the drift of things was all the other way. He found that most people preferred flats, and he lost money by the undertaking. It will all happen at A JAS. A. EDDY'S STORE Saturday, Aug. 19, 9 a. m.

The program for the District conference will soon be out. It is quite an able program. Every phase of the home and church life will be discussed. The conference will be held in Colorado Springs some time during next month. Mr. Maddox of Kansas City, Mo., was present last Sunday and led the League to the delight of all who were privileged to hear him. The time grows apace for the Church Roofing Rally. Let all who have promised something for this enterprise be ready on the 27th of this month. The pastor will fill the pulpit both morning and evening to-morrow. He will tell of some of the impressions made upon his mind during his attendance upon the Educational and Missionary meeting. Come out and hear these discourses. The Money Shower last Monday night was an entire success. Quite a net sum was realized for the Ladies' Aid Society. Mrs. Anna B. Dawson and others worked faithfully to make this entertainment a grand success. Watch This Space OUR AUGUST OUTING. The 15th annual picnic of the Colorado Statesman, which was held at Bloomfield Park last Wednesday is now a thing of history, and the big crowd that was in attendance will long remember the event as one of much enjoyment. There was nothing but mirth during the day and evening, and everybody expressed themselves as having had the time of their life. We are, indeed, very grateful to all who in any way contributed to the success of this great event, and we especially thank those who assisted in making the affair pleasant for all.

The best way to tell how a thing will work is to try it. This the colored and white people of Macon county, Ala., did in the way of pulling together to build up the county. Any honest Negro whether he be farmer, preacher, school teacher, doctor, lawyer or business man is appreciated in this county and treated with respect and given a chance. This is the only black belt county in the state of Alabama which showed, at the last census, a creditable increase in people and this is because of the relation between the races. The Negroes are working hard, trying to educate their children to be honest, intelligent and industrious citizens by helping to support good eight-month schools in nearly every community in the county. I have secured an option on several hundred acres of land located near these schools which will make good homes for families who would like to locate in this county and educate their children. I will be glad to show any one this land or give information concerning it. Come to see or write, CLINTON J. CALLOWAY, Real Estate Dealer. Tuskegee Inst., Ala.

GAMBREL, Manager. 152S Court Place, Denver. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Some weeks ago a learned clergyman (white) delivered the baccalaureate sermon at the commencement exercises of a negro college. We asked several of those present how they liked it. The majority agreed that it was the greatest sermon they had ever heard. Among them was an untutored critic—a man who is in the habit of looking for the other side. This man argued that if the clergyman were to get up before his own audience and say one third of the good things for the negro that he said to the negro, he would have done ten times more good than he did do. One remark reported to have been made by the clergyman attracted my attention especially. He is reported to have said that according to history the negro has not yet done anything but that under God he is destined to do great things perhaps. Now we have nothing to say about the latter part of this statement—not being an expert in theological prevision. But as to the former statement to the effect that the negro has done nothing—why that's another story; and on that proposition we're on solid ground—ground that is enveloped, we confess, in fog and mist—but the ground is there. It is so common for orators and writers to dwell on the orators and writers, but by the negroes themselves. Let us use, who, think you, was the real inventor and founder of our elaborate system of religious worship? If we were to quote from a negro asserting that he (the negro) was the founder, you would probably discount the testimony by about 95 per cent. But suppose we summon a white witness to testify on this point—a witness whose testimony has never been successfully impeached! In 1802, a French philosopher published a book called "The Ruins of Empires." In it he recounts his explorations, his travels, his investigations among the ruins of cities and empires that flourished, declined and disappeared a thousand years before the birth of Greece and Rome. The author (Volney) of "The Ruins of Empires" in describing the ancient kingdom of Euripia and the ruins of Thebes her oculent metropolis, says: "There a people, now forgotten, discovered while others were yet barbarians, the elements of the arts and sciences. A race of men, now rejected from society for their sable skin and frizzled hair, founded on the study of the law of nature, those civil and religious systems which still govern the universe." A statement like the foregoing would naturally draw fire from a thousand hostile critics, and when they found that it could not be disproved, the proper course would be to ignore it, and let it fall into oblivion. That's what happened with reference to the foregoing quotation. For in the publisher's preface we read: "A voluminous note in which stand and authorities are cited, seems to prove that this statement is substantially correct, and that we are in reality indebted to the ancient Ethiopians to the fervid imagination of the persecuted and despised negro, for the various religious systems now so highly revered by the different branches of the Semitic and Aryan races. This fact may perhaps solve the question as to the origin of all religions and may even suggest a solution to the secret so long concealed beneath the flat nose, thick lips, and Nero features of the Egyptian Sphinx. It may also confirm the statement of Dioderus, that the Ethiopians conceive themselves as the inventor of divine worship, of festivals, of solemn assemblies, of sacrifices and of every other religious practices. "That an imaginative and superstitious race and founded in the dim obscurity of past ages, a system of religious beliefs that still enthralls the minds and clouds the intellects of the leading representatives of modern theology—that still clings to the thoughts and tinges with potential influence the literature and faith of the civilized and cultured nations of Europe and America, is indeed a strange illustration of the mad caprice of destiny of the insignificant and apparently trivial causes that oft produce the most grave and momentous results." From the foregoing the student of psychology can readily understand why the negro is more enthusiastic about solemn religious doings than is any one else. And the reader who is still in doubt as to the correctness of these statements may consult Draper's "International Development of Europe" and learn that in spite of the rantings of demagogues, the greater part of the civilized world in matters religious, is still under African domination. Ethiopia has already stretched forth her hands, and like the Niobe of Nations they may be empty now, but there was a time when they were filled with blessings for the world. It's all right to say that the negro has done nothing—say it and let it go at that. It sounds well in sermon and speech. But remember there are always some minds that look for the other side—"some blind Sampson feeling for the pillars of authority."—Old Hickory in Dallas Express Not very long ago President Taft, in a speech, defended the integrity and usefulness of the Jews of this country. His glowing tribute to their worth will ever live in the minds of those who believe that race prejudice is contrary to reason and equity. His speech on this occasion certainly showed that he had the moral courage to speak what he thought. Now, occasion comes for him not to speak, but to act, and when it is brought to his attention that Col. Joseph Garrard, commanding the cavalry post at Fort Meyer, disapproved Private Frank Bloom's effort for promotion because of Bloom's parentage, he immediately directs the secretary of war to investigate the matter. The colonel's indorsement was Jews were not "desirable social associates." There being no regulation in the army to prevent an officer from expressing his opinion as to the fitness of a candidate to be advanced from the ranks, Colonel Garrard escaped court-martial; but not a stinging rebuke and a warning not to repeat the endorsement. For nearly 6,000 years the Jews have been in the limelight and it may well be said they are God's chosen people. Success seems to attend their pathway, and we never see a Jew drunkard or beggar. They are not inmates of our almshouses and workhouses, but are our most progressive citizens. It is a mistaken idea that the Jews are all merchants; for among the world's list of great soldiers, authors, musicians, painters and philosophers, are many names of persons of this race. In this case the merits of the applicant should have been considered aside from his race, and endorsement made in accord with his service. Our sympathy goes out to the Jew, because "a fellow feeling makes us wonderful kind," and what he has done we can do. So when we add money, character, intelligence and industry to our stock in trade, we will have friends to come to our assistance. That's the way the Jew solved his problem.—Richmond Reformer. During the summer some latitude should be shown servants in all vocations of life, especially those in the menial walks of life. There are some rights that servants have that should be respected. They should be shown some attention and kindness while at work. Reasonable hours should be prescribed for them to work, and the same for pleasure and recreation. Domestic servants in many instances are diminishing because of the painfully long hours they have to work and the poor salary attached. Reports are often heard from all parts of the country of the scarcity of unskilled labor, due largely to the fact that such labor is overworked. The housekeepers should be more lenient with their servants by giving them a reasonable amount of time for recreation and pleasure, and above all to treat them with kindness.—Illinois Chronicle. Thus far, there have been seven colored ministers to Haiti, namely: Rev. E. D. Bassett of Pensylvania; John M. Langston of Virginia; John E. W. Thompson of New York; Frederick Douglass of New York and the District of Columbia; John S. Durham of Pennsylvania; W. F. Powell of New Jersey, and Henry W. Furniss of Indiana. George W. Williams of Ohio was nominated several years ago for the place, but failed of confirmation. During Cleveland's second term, Henry S. Smythe, a white man, served as minister to Haiti. All have been men of high character, brilliant attainments and impressive personality. A careful estimate indicates that since the foundation of Tuskegee institute, two years of training have been given to approximately 9,000 persons. The average length of time that these 9,000 persons have been out is fourteen years, during which time their estimated earnings have been $88,200,000. If they had not received an industrial training, they would have earned during the fourteen years only $12,600,000. That is, by receiving an industrial training, they have been able to earn $75,600,000 more than they would have earned had they not received this training. —Southern Letter. The negro press of the country has lost one of its ablest exponents in the death of Editor William Bearden, managing editor of the Galveston New Idea, which occurred at the family home in Galveston, Tex. Editor Bearden was a vigorous and entertaining writer, an able and fearless advocate, and one of the most highly esteemed and courageous members that the negro race has had in a generation. Peace to his ashes. Whether on land or sea or in thin air, the colored man and brother in comparison with his fellows of whatever race or clime has long ago decided to make a showing. In this connection it is right in place to announce that Henry Flanagan, 315 Mayflower street, Fort Worth, Tex., has invented an airship which in many respects outclasses all previous efforts at the sport of traveling on the wings of the wind.—Western Star.

Again We Say Subscribe for THIS PAPER NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS Capital to Lead in High Prices War Huge Guns Will Shoot Fifteen Miles Army Regulations Are Being Modified The Progress of Our Game Protection I DON'T KNOW WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE HIGH COST OF LIVIN', BUT I HOPE THEY SOAK HIM GOOD AND HARD WHEN THEY CATCH HIM! WASHINGTON.—The high cost of living is becoming a live topic again. Much of the mail that comes to members of congress daily deals with the subject. Constituents of sen- ators and representatives are saying that if the legislative body can do any- thing to bring prices of the neces- saries of life down, it ought to do it. Among public men there is very general agreement that the topic will be to the front in the presidential campa- gnment next year. James Wilson, secretary of agriculture, has come forward with the suggestion that every large municipality ought to take up the cost of living problem. He thinks the problem of reducing the cost of living is one that must be settled by municipalities. Federal legislation can, he declares, at best do but little toward bringing prices down. The secretary is trying to persuade the leading citizens of the national capital to get in behind an inquiry here as to why things people have to THINK of a gun which will hurl a 1,400-pound projectile through nine inches of the best face-hardened steel 15 miles away from where it is fired! This is what Uncle Sam's new 14-inch guns will do. They will shoot beyond the horizon. In other words, the range of the monsters with which the two new battleships, New York and Texas, will be equipped is greater than it is possible to see a target the size of a ship of the Delaware type. Under the most favorable conditions not even the tall masts of the Delaware could be seen from a ship of the same size 15 miles away. And the new 14-inch gun is effective at that range. The navy department has just completed a successful test of the gun and work will go forward at once in the Washington factory to make the 20 huge weapons needed for the two vessels. The recent tests made with the naval service 12-inch gun on the old battleship Texas in Chesapeake bay showed that the efficiency of the gun-makers had reached a high state. These 12-inch guns literally made a sleeve of the Texas at a range of 12,000 yards, or six miles. It was the THEY COULDN'T GET ME INTO THE ARMY AGAIN WITH A YOKE OF OXEN! ARMY regulations are being changed for the benefit of the enlisted man. The old rules which have added to the hardships of the common soldier are being modified to keep pace with modern ideas of humanity and justice, and, in the course of a short time, it is hoped that conditions will be so far improved that desertions will be practically unknown and reenlistment will be general. Gen. Leonard Wood, chief of staff, is working out the proposed changes and his efforts have the sympathy of President Taft, who ever since his administration as secretary of war has been interested in the enlisted men. As long as the ancient regulations continued in force, both President Taft and General Wood agreed, little real amelioration of the soldier's con- THE report of Dr. T. S. Palmer of the government's biological survey on "The Progress of Game Protection" is an exceedingly interesting document. It bears every evidence of careful study of conditions. Nothing is set down which in any way can be attributed to guesswork. It can be accepted as accurate and authentic. Doctor Palmer is known to scientists as a man of method with an innate love of the subject of which he is making a life study. Deer, moose, elk and other big game of pronounced economic value are increasing in numbers. With the awakened interest in their protection and with the constant improvement in laws intended to save useful species there are sound reasons for the belief that future generations of Americans will know the animals that man today knows, and that legitimate sport will be possible in the years to come. The movement for the conservation of the natural resources of the country takes full heed of the necessity for the preservation of the wild bird, and mammals. Some few species of big game perhaps are bound to disappear, or to buy are so high. He has a notion that if Washington would conduct an investigation that resulted in obtaining cheaper food for the people, other cities would soon become interested. Secretary Wilson suggests that President Taft appoint a commission to study the situation here at the national capital. The president has indicated that he is willing to carry out the suggestion of his secretary of agriculture if the people of Washington would indicate that they really want such an investigation made. "One of the most pitiful things of modern times," said Secretary Wilson, "is the manner in which the poor of the large cities are beaten down by the prices which prevail at this time. The prices are such that no man working for ordinary wages can meet them. They are beyond the pocketbook of the poor, and there is nothing that gives the poor any protection from them. This condition undoubtedly prevails in nearly every city. "The farmer does not get half the price the consumer pays. Many persons are inclined to place the blame for high prices on the farmers, but as a matter of fact the farmers are not benefited by the high prices. A few middlemen, selected individuals, who step in between the farmer and the consumer, are the persons who reap the benefit." longest range at which actual shooting had ever been done. Eight to ten miles is about the maximum for these guns. The new 14-inch gun's weight is 63.6 tons. The diameter at the breech or butt is 47 inches and at the muzzle 24 inches. The cost of one gun and breech is $74,770. The carriage upon which the gun will be mounted in the turret of the vessel will cost $50,000. The projectile weighs 1,400 pounds, is 66 inches, or five and one half feet, in length and costs $450. It is loaded with a bursting charge of 45 pounds of "dunnite." The powder charge used behind the projectile to give it velocity consists of four bags of 90 pounds each of smokeless nitrocellulose, yet even then it would be over half a minute from the time of firing before the projectile would hit the mark 15 miles away. dition could be brought about. As long as young soldiers were sent to jail and herded with criminals for trivial offenses, they believe, the army would continue to be shunned by a large class of desirable men who would otherwise be inclined to enter the service. One of the first reforms to be inaugurated was that of the sentences administered for slight infractions of army law. The most common of these offenses now, as it has been for many generations, is desertion, and most of the desertions are unintentional. Upon conviction the culprits are sentenced to three to six months in a military prison, not because their offense merited such punishment, but because the ancient regulations had it that way. Under the new system the punishment for mild cases of desertion is merely a deprivation of leave, extra work or the cutting off of special allowances. The guardhouse is only to be used for real offenders and the military prison for hardened criminals. OF COURSE WE ARE IN FAVOR OF THE GAME LAWS survive only in a semi-domesticated state. Animals which live in the cover a part or a whole of the time will survive as long as law is enforced and forests continue to grow. The government has control only of such game animals as are to be found in the territory directly under federal rule. Notwithstanding this limited authority the additional protection given the wild life in recent years by the several states is due largely to the efforts of the officials of the United States biological survey, which is a bureau of the department of agriculture. For several years each winter the government's scientists have appeared before the different state legislatures to urge protection for the birds and mammals, and as a result of their efforts nearly uniform laws are in force all over the country.

Dick: Inson for Vice President With Lincoln. “How different would have been the course of American history right after the close of the civil war,” said ‘Thurlow Weed to me a year or two before his death, which occurred in 1882, “had we been able to accomplish what a good many of us thought would be a very wise thing to do at the flme of the convention in 1864 which nominated Abraham Lincoln for pres!- dent.” ‘The famous old Whig and Repub- lican political leader paused for an in- stant and reached out his hand to- wards me so that he might feel my hand, since he was then almost biind. “Did you ever see Daniel S. Dickin- son?” he asked. “Did you ever hear him speak? If you did, you were for- tunate. I believe he came from a lit- tle town on the site of a mountain in northwestern Connectitcut, called Goshen, and that in his early life he expected to be a tailor. But he was a born orator. Did you ever hear him?” I told Mr. Weed that I had seen and heard Daniel 8. Dickinson in the summer of 1863, and that he greatly resembled physically Henry Ward Beecher, excepting that he was a taller man. “Yes, that {s so,” Mr. Weed replied. “He wore his hair long, as Beecher did; he was also smooth shaven and |ne had the same projecting or full eyes which I long ago learned are ‘one of the best physical evidences of the power of oratory. You heard him make a political speech, I presume?” I replied that Mr. Dickinson had come to Connecticut not to make po- Utical speeches, but instead to speak for*the cause of the Union and so to speak as to encourage men to enlist “Oh, I remember that time very well,” Mr. Weed replied. “It was just after the draft riots in 1863 and en- Ustments were slow. It was neces- sary to fill up depleted regiments. Mr. Dickinson was sent for to make speeches in Connecticut, Massachu- setts and Rhode Island. These speeches rekindled the excitement and enthusiasm which prevailed in New England during the first year of the war.” How the Brilliant Kansan Took Back His Caustic Remark About Sen- ator Logan “Thinking He Was Thinking.” j ___In 1882 General Grant published an article in which he frankly admitted ‘that he had been in gross error in im- puting to Major General Fitzjohn Por. ter conduct at the second battle of ‘Bull Run, in August, 1862, which justt- ‘fied the verdict of a court-martial by which General Porter was cashiered, dismissed from the army and forever prohibited from holding any office un- der the United States government. As a result of General Grant's magnani- mous action, which he called a simple act of justice, congress passed a bill removing some of the penalties pre- ecribed by the court-martial. There were, however, some technical defects to this bill, and General Arthur was compelled to veto it. But in the first administration of President Cleveland another bill became a law by which the sentence of ex-General Porter was expunged, and he was restored to the ‘United States army with the rank of colonel. At the time the so-called Fitzjohn Porter bill came before the senate in the administration of President Ar- thur, public {nterest was greatly aroused; there were many senators who accepted General Grant’s view that General Porter had been unjustly sentenced, while others were sincerely convinced that the verdict of the court-martial was fully justified by General Porter’s conduct at the sec- ond Bull Run. It was observed by a number of senators about this time that Gen. John A, Logan, one of the senators from Illinois, contracted the habit of spending an hour or two every after- noon pacing back and forth before the screen which concealed the cloak- room from the senate chamber. Gen- eral Logan always wore a frock coat which carried coat-tails of unusual Iength, reaching below his knee. Iie presented a striking picture as he slowly paced back and forth along the rear aisle. His head, covered as it was with thick masses of very black hair, locks of which strayed frequent- ly over his forehead and were tossed back with an impatient Jerk of the head, was beut forward, as though he were studying the outlines of the floor Occasionally he would thrust bis hands ‘peneath his coat-tails and cause them to flap violently. He seemed absorbed fn deep thought, but there were sen- ators who thought he was posing. “Ingalls,” said a colleague to the prilliant senator from Kansas, “Ingalls, have you noticed Logan pacing medi- tatively back and forth at the rear of the senate chamber? He has been do- First Colonel of Negroes “That he certainly did in my town,” Ireplied. “Mr, Dickinson spoke in the public square. ‘There was a great crowd around the platform. After he finished, some twenty-five or thirty young men stepped out of that crowd, went to the platform, and gave their names fo the enlisting officer, who sat at a table there.” “Now,” continued Mr. Weed, “you will understand why so many Repub- lcans thought that it would be the wisest step to take to nominate Dan- fel S. Dickinson for vice president with Lincoln at the Republican na- tional convention in the spring of 1864, Dickinson was universally rec: ognized as one of the greatest living orators of the United States, He had been United States senator from New York. He had been a Democrat all along and a warm friend of President Franklin Pierce, but when war began he was one of the first to put party behind him. “] never knew exactly why the plan to nominate Daniel S. Dickinson for How Robert G. Shaw, Though Citizen of Massachusetts, First Enlisted With the Seventh New York Regiment. Fifty years ago one of the most fa- mous of the many regiments that fought on the Union side in the Civil war marched down Broadway, New York, for the front, In response to Lincoln's first call for volunteers— the Seventh New York. Marching with it to war as a private went that scion of a Massachusetts family which had been prominent from Reyolution- ary days who was destined to become the leader of the first regiment of negro soldiers formed under state au- thority in the north—Robert G. Shaw. ‘This fact is so little known that most of the biographies of Colonel Shaw state that at the outbreak of the war he entered the service with the Sec- ond Massachusetts as a second leu- tenant; yet there ts the roster of the Seventh regiment with Shaw's name upon it, to prove that Shaw saw bis first service in the Civil war with the ing this now for several days, each afternoon. What do you suppose it means? Is he posing to the galleries?" “Yes, | have observed this new de parture of John Logan's,” said Ingalls. “I am persuaded, however, that he ts not doing this spectacular pacing back ‘and forth with intent to catch the eye of the gallery; he does not need to do that, for the eye of the gallery ts al: ways fixed more or less upon him. 1 am satisfied that Logan thinks he ts thinking.” Two days later Logan began a speech which afterwards became tra ditional in the senate. It was in op- position to the bill which, if passed, would relieve General Porter from the stigma and penalties consequent upon the finding of the court-martial, The speech occupied several days in Its de- livery. Logan was never more ef- fective; never did his rude and yet powerful oratory so command the sen- ate. One of his most attentive listeners after the first day was Senator Ingalls of Kansas. When Logan's speech was finished, Ingalls was the first to con- gratulate him, and having done that, he sought out and faced the senator to whom he had said that Logan thought he was thinking. “[ was mistaken in what I said to you the other day about Logan,” In- galls confessed. “John Logan was really thinking. And what he thought he has now told us in this great speech.” (Copyright, 1911, by E. J. Edwards. All Rights Reserved.) Measuring Raindrops, Mr. Spencer C. Russell at a meeting of the British Royal Meteorological society described how he obtained rec- ords of the actual size of raindrops. He said the experiments had led him to conclude that the most satisfac: tory results were given by the use of plaster or paris or fine flour placed in three-inch shallow trays to a depth of one and onehalf inches. .Rain- drops during six thunder storms had been registered, yielding a total of 164 drops, divided up into the following sizes: Twenty-five of five millimeters, 40 of four millimeters, 48 of three mil- limiters, 85 of two millimeters and 15 of one millimeter. ‘The largest drops occurred at the commencement of the storm, grading off as the storm pro- gressed.

We knew that he would receive anywhere from a hundred and sixty to two hundred votes in the convention. We thought that strength of that kind, and the fact that his mame on the ticket would strengthen the ticket In New York state, then as now the critical state in presidential elections, would in all probability bring the nomination to him. We had good reason to believe that Lincoln would be pleased if Dickinson were nominated, and that belief was con- firmed when, after the convention had done {ts work, we learned that Lin- coin, although he did not complain, ‘was disposed to regret the nomina- tion of Andrew Johnson. I have al- ways been convinced that the real his- tory of Johnson’s nomination is known to only one or two men. But suppose a man of the energy, the brilliancy, the fine record and the oratorical power of Daniel S. Dickin- son had been nominated with Lincoln in 1864. Then, I am convinced, our history would have been different, for the four years immediately following the close of the war.” (Copyright, 1911, by E. J. Edwards.

DENVER, COLD. famous New York city regiment which furnished 660 officers to the Union out of the men who marched to the front with it on April 19, 1861. 1 have heard George William Cur- tis explain in this fashion how it was that Colonel Shaw happened to begin his military service with the New York regiment. “{t was due to a chance visit that Robert Shaw made to my house on Staten Island. My wife was his sts- ter, and though he was of Massachus- etts citizenship, he was in the habit of speaking of our Staten Island home as his other home. “In the winter of 1861 he was with us. From day to day he followed closely the development of the re- lations between the north and the south, He was sure that was war in- evitable; he believed that it would be his duty to enlist for it, and with that {dea in mind he became a member of the Seventh regiment. Well, in the spring the war that he had looked for came, and he went to the front as a private, and we were all proud of his handsome appearance, the patriotic earnestness shining in his face, and his soldierly bearing as he marched away with his musket upon bis shoul- der. “The Seventh enlisted rst as a three months’ regiment. At the end of that period Robert went back to his own ‘state and was given his first commis- sion in the Second Massachusetts. ‘Then, in 1863, when he was a captain, came the incident of which all of nis family, and especially his father, was very proud. “Massachusetts was the first state of the north to raise a regiment of negro soldiers; Robert was asked by Governor Andrew if he would accept the colonelcy. Many persons thought he would decline it. His family was rich, they were members of the most cultivated circles of Boston, and he was himself a Harvard man. But he told us that he regarded it as a high duty and opportunity to accept the offer, for he believed that the moral effect produced by the leading of the first negro regiment to the front by @ man who was no adventurer would be of great value, At the head of the regiment he again went to the front with his father’s blessing and the ap- proval of all who were near him, and he fell with many members of his reg- iment at the assault upon Fort Wag- ner, in South Carolina, on July 18 of the same year. “When the news of his death was received by his father, and the father was asked what disposition should be made of his boy’s body, he remained quiet for a few moments. His head was bowed with sorrow that his son should have died, and yet he was sus- tained by the feeling of honorable pride for the brief career of this bril- lant and handsome son. At last he raised his head and said: “*T have only one answer to make when you ask what disposition shall be made of my son’s body, and that is this: Let him be buried with the soldiers who perished with him. That, 1 am sure, would have been his wish.’” (Copyright, 191, by E. J. Edwards. All Rights Reserved.)
