THE STATESMAN. ORGAN OF THE COLORED PEOPLE IN COLORADO, WYOMING, MONTANA, UTAH AND NEW MEXICO. DAWN IS COMING The Situation of the Negro Ably Reviewed in a Letter to John Edward Bruce. VOL. XV. Liberian Legation, Elysee Palace Hotel, Avenue DeChamps Elysee Paris, Aug. 19 1905. Many thanks for your very interesting letter of July 28. I think I understand something of the anomalous and unsatisfactory position of the Negro in America, which you so pathetically describe. But a subsequent letter which I have just received from Mr. A. A. Schomberg, dated Aug. 1, the anniversary of Negro Emancipation in the West Indies has brought a gleam of relief to the dark picture drawn in your letter. From Mr. Schomberg's letter, I learn that it is proposed to celebrate the 30th anniversary of your entrance on the field of journalism by some substantial expression of the appreciation of your labors for the Negro, by the multitudes who have profitted thereby. DENVER, COLORADO, FRIDAY, OCT. 6, 1905. The move is entirely appropriate and praiseworthy. I congratulate you and wish it ample success. It will not only be giving honor to whom honor is due, but it will give inspiration and encouragement to many good, brave, unassuming young Negroes who everywhere in the United States are working toward the solution of a problem the nature of which, it seems to me, neither whites nor blacks in America have yet fully grasped. Two things in your personal career excite my astonishment and admiration. 1. That you for the last thirty years, should have been persistently striving to uphold and further a cause which everything in your surroundings discredits. 2. That your services in behalf or this unpopular, subordinated, subjugated cause should be recognized to the extent of suggesting to some who have watched your apparently hopeless and unprofitable labor, the idea of a substantial testimonial. I am sure that in getting this testimonial three classes must participate. The classes who understand you and are grateful for your work; the class who do not understand you but admire your intelligence, courage and perseverance; the class who misunderstand you and believe that it is their duty and their right to misunderstand you but who will contribute so as not to be ostensibly out of harmony with the other two. Your career furnishes an illustration of what St. Paul means by being "more than conqueror." I again congratulate you. But why should the cause of the Negro be discredited in America? What has he done to deserve such treatment? What has he done to merit better? It is consolatory to know that all the greatest minds who have ever lived in America and now live there, (I say the greatest minds) have given him and do give him the credit he deserves, but they are comparatively few. These few, however, know that the Negro was at the bottom of the civilization of the Southern States. This is obvious at the first, the most superficial glance, at his history there. Africa furnished the men wtwithout whom the vast industrial and agricultural workinthe earl ydays would have been impossible. But the so-called dark continent also furnished the women without whom the still more important work of producing the physically and intellectually strong men could not have been accomplished. The greatest statesmen of the United States were produced in the South, men who chiefly governed the country until the great civil war-George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe. and all that followed including Jefferson Davis, John C. Calhoun and Robt. E. Lee. These men all bad black "mammies" and to this day in the South the traditions of the aunties linger as among the most cherished memories of the aristocratic families. The ti- State Historian & Natural History Society MAN. NEW MEXICO. NO. 69 NO.69 tle is sometimes addressed to colored women by southerners, but it has not the same significance of tender relationship, nor is it used in the same affectionate spirit by those who know nothing of the indescribable p.triarchal past. But since the black auntie has disappeared from her post in the great families and ceased to preside at the cradle and in the nursery of the South no such men have appeared as distinguished in the history of that country before the late unpleasantness. The secret of this deficiency is known to the African. In geography, Africa has been called Arida nutrix leonum, the dry nurse of lions, so in the early politcal history of the United States the same description is applicable to the gray-haired mothers of civilization. Lions in church and state were born out of her struggles and sufferings. It is impossible to write on this subject without thinking of President Roosevelt and the new leaf he is turning over or rather the new chapter he is writing in the history of his country, so far as the Negro is concerned. He seems to be recognizing, not only as a humantarian, but as an enlightened American citizen, Africa's services to the United States. You have had Washington, you have had Jefferson, you have had Lincoln, you have had Grant and now you have had Roosevelt last but not least when compared to his predecessors. If he does not stand at their side he stands but a little lower than they; and it strikes me that if he lives long enough the course of events may eventually bring him to the level if it does not raise him above them, as the chief glory of American statesmanship. To resemble Christ, to whom President Roosevelt has been not rashly compared is to rise above all merely political or military pre-eminence. If Justinian's definition of justice is correct, viz. "the desire of rendering to every one his due" then Roosevelt like Aristides stands today before the world as the (Continued on editorial page.)

A newsyager correspondent who ac companied the British expedition into Tibet says that the success of that undertaking was undoubtedly due to Col. Younghusband, who “was equal (o every emecgency. He sat through every durbar a monument of patience and inflexibility, impassive as one of their own Buddhas. Priests and coun- cilors found that appeals to his mercy were hopeless. He, too, had orders from his kink to go to Lassa; if he faltered his life also was at stake; decapitation would await him on bis return. That was the impression lie purposely gave them.

A blind beggar applied to them for alms, but they did not notice him, and he walked away. When he had gone about twenty feet Hill excused himself, ran after the beggar, and gave him something. "I always help the blind," he said. "It's a good idea," retorted Barrymore. "They can't see what you give them."—New York Times. Same Source of Inspiration. Israel Zangwill and Oliver Hereford were fellow-guests not long ago at a dinner in London. Just then newspapers were making much of Hereford's poem about the butterfly, the idea of which is similar to that in a story written by Zangwill. "What do you mean, Hereford," asked the distinguished Jewish author, "by spoiling my story with your rhyms?" Hereford replied in jocular fashion, but added in a serious tone: "Tell me, old shap, where did you get that story?" "From the Talmud," was the reply "Ah, just what I thought," said Hereford: "so did I." Man's Handicap.

COLORADO. There are some graphic touches in the report of Lieut. Fred S. Young in which he tells of a battle in Mindanao last summer. "About 4:30 this morning," he writes, "the enemy attacked us from across the river at our camp, just below the outpost near the Moro camp. The command turned out promptly and drove them off in less than fifteen minutes. As soon as the men could obtain breakfast I took thirty across the river to follow the trail possible. We left camp at 6:30 and arrived in front of the enemy at about 10:30. As we approached the enemy's position the trail opened into one more distinct in appearance, through a slough 800 feet from the enemy's position. This is the trail we were in during the fight which followed. We had gone some 750 yards on this trail and were, I found later, within fifty yards of the river when the guide stopped and held up his hand. Gampor, the Moro interpreter, who was with him, said to me, 'Mucho heinte.' I kept the command quiet and sent the interpreter forward to reconnoiter. Our position was on the edge of the river and I could not find more than twenty feet of ground to operate on. Although I had the high grass broken on either side of our line nothing but water was found. "We were cooped on this spot for forty-five minutes, during which time we fired and were fired upon incessantly. So soon as the enemy returned our fire my men were ordered to lie down and I kept them down. It was a brave man who stood up, as the enemy knew our position and had firm ground up and down the river on their side. They had positions from behind which they fired and they kept their cover well. Four of our men were wounded. The enemy's casualties were unknown. We fired over 1,500 rounds, and fifty of the enemy killed is considered a conservative estimate. The men of our side were hit trying to get good aim over the high grass, and had to rise behind cover to do it. They all deserve great credit for their work. They were hit at various times, and not until the surgeon urgently recommended that they needed prompt attention did the command retire. "I spent thirty minutes trying to find a place from which I could flank the enemy, but found none; we could hardly get room to fire. The men were kneeling in a mud hole, half under water. We seemed to be on the only firm ground on our side. When the order was finally given to retire we had silenced the enemy's fire, and the command was ordered to fire volleys. There seemed to be no way to cross the river, and as much as I desired to actually stand upon the enemy's ground, we had to console ourselves with a view from our position. Our return was slow. We put the wounded on litters, and they carried well. The men used bolos through the jungles and literally cut our way back to camp." OBSERVATIONS OF AN OPTIMIZER. It's a wise old saw that cuts with its wisdom teeth. The nearer the roof a man lives the better outlook he has. A pessimist is a man who is miserable when he is happy. Compliments on a tombstone might properly be termed epi-taffy. A landlord says a month's rent in hand is better than a dozen promises to pay. A woman would rather people thought she was tailor-made, than self-made. Smile and the world smiles with you—if you are willing to settle with the bartender. A good woman is usually too good for any man—but fortunately she doesn't know it. The Golden Chest Mining, Mining and Tunnel Co.

There was a sick man in a bachelor apartment the other day and a nurse was needed. It was not deemed desirable to have a woman nurse, as three men occupied the apartment to gether. So a man nurse was employed although there was some fear expressed that the tenderness and gentleness of a woman nurse might be missed. But the masculine substitute, who was a middle-aged person in glasses soon proved that he was not going to be brutal. "May I have one of those big boxes that the roses came in?" he asked soon after settling down. "They'd be so splendid for my embroidery." "Embroidery?" repeated the person addressed. "What do you mean by that?" "Why, my centerpieces," he repeated, pulling at a heavy brown mustache. "It would be just the thing for them. I really can do wonderful embroidery. Some time I'll bring some around." He kept his word and one night sat under the lamp embroidering a large centerpiece while his patient slept. The next day he asked what was going to be done with a basket in which some fruit had been sent. "Be just the thing for my knitting," he murmured in explanation. He got the basket and the next night knit a pair of gray wool socks. So nobody need ever try to prove that women nurses have all the gentleness on their side.—New York Sun. A Mother Song.

"When your glasses are empty," said the host, "turn them upside down." The guests on doing so, found that each silver cup turned instantly upright again. The cups were so perfectly balanced that, placed in any position whatever, they would at once assume their right position. "They are tumblers," said the host; "real tumblers, over 200 years old. Tumblers are so called because when they first took their name they would always tumble about till they got themselves erect. These tumblers of mine are perhaps the only set in New York. I bought them at All Souls' College, Oxford, where a number of old sets of beautiful gold and silver tumblers still remain."—Evening Bulletin.

Mrs. Clarissa Davis. spread more generally among the children of men, it will be considered one of the most glorious facts in the history of American civilization that the Chief Magistrate of the United States in the opening year of the 20th Century should have put himself squarely forward as the protector of the rights of the weak of whatever race or color and as the champion of the peace of the world. The whole world is grateful to him for the note of protest and animadversion which two months ago he addressed to the belligerent powers, and for the brief but impressive and admirable speech which he recently made to the plenipotentiaries on board the Mayflower. No word will ring down the ages with greater or more uplifting force. They have not only profoundly touched the two nations concerned, but have moved the whole of humanity, wherever man can read or think or feel. Let us hope that these sentiments shall give the key note to the whole of the new century upon which we have entered. There are words that are deeds and deeds that are words. Tennyson says: "The song that nerves a nation's heart is in itself a deed," and one of your own poets has said: Whene'er a noble deed is wrought; Where'er is spoken a noble thought Our hearts in glad surprise To higher level rise. The tidal wave of deeper souls Into our inmost being rolls And lifts us unaware Out of all meaner care. Honor to those whose word and deed. Thus help us in our daily need If the arbitrament of brute force can not yet be dispensed with owing to the hardness of men's heart, still it is encouraging to know that the teachings and example of President Roosevelt will tend to introduce that era toward which, as all the greatest poets have seen "the whole creation moves" when the spirit which will not break the bruised reed nor quench the smoking flax shall dominate the affairs of --- men; when righteousness will govern as conqueror, and might will disappear as an arbiter in human affairs, the little child shall lead and dust shall be the serpent's meat. The attitude of the President of the United States is bound to exert a wholesome influence upon the spirit and methods of those who having partitioned Africa in the name of God and of humanity are devoting themselves under varying and various vicissitudes of righteousness and unrighteousness to its exploitation, and it would be a grand thing if, as suggested by the New York Sun, an alliance could take place between the these great powers having the largest interests in Africa—England, France and the United States. If these three nations agree that there shall be no more war, that men must in the future act as intelligent and rational beings and not like eagles and vultures and tigers, whence will come war? Whence? On the very day, Aug. 5, that President Roosevelt was pleading with the plenipotentiaries, Ru-sia and Japan, drinking in solemn silence to the Goddess of Peace, the London Times published a striking leading article, giving the melancholy results thus far of the war between the two nations, showing that during the last 18 months Japan has lost, unkilled and wounded 166,000 men and Russia 329,000, nearly half million swept off the face of the earth—a sacrifice to human passion. So far as you are concerned, Mr. Bruce, so far as the Negro race is concerned, there is no reason for discouragement. We have confronted worse things and yet survive. We shall, please God, overcome our present difficulties. This is not the Negro's day in America, yet it is his day. The eastern horizon gives indication of the coming morr. It is the dawn of his day. The spirit of Roosvelt is not a dying spirit, his influence is not a decaying influence. It is the spirit of the years to come yearning to mix itself with life Yours truthfully. Edward W.
