THE STATESMAN. ORGAN OF THE COLORED PEOPLE IN COLORADO, WYOMING, MONTANA, UTAH AND NEW MEXICO. HONOR TO WHOM IT IS DUE VOL. XV. The day set apart for the testimonial banquet to the well known and able newspaper and magazine writer, John E. Bruce, took place on September 20, in the spacious hall of the Hotel Maceo in New York City. It was a lovely evening. About 8:30 the guests began to arrive and were escorted to the reception hall where introduction to the honored guest, John Edward Bruce, "Bruce Grit," took place in truly democratic style; mean while a Neapolitan Quartet of Italian musicians under the leadership of Prof. W. H. Butler, rendered classical selections during the entire feast. The music was an expression of the token of friendship to Bruce from Prof. W. H. Butler, who hails from Zululand,the country which gave England such a battle under Cetewayo. Here and there reminiscences of past days were told amid laughter and merriment. Attendants opened sliding doors and Secretary Schomburg rose and requested the guests to enter the banquet hall. Behold! a sumptuous board filled with the nice things of life. There were flowers and a large bouquet was in the center, its fragrance permeated the hall, where electric lights which looked like flow- DENVER, COLORADO, FRIDAY, OCT.27, 1905. ers were lavishly placed. It was charming and attractive. Among those who presence graced the boards were: Rev. Phlllip A. Hubert, Dr. Robert Fraser, Louis A. Teppe, Counselor David C. Outlear, R. H. Brown, W. H. Wright, W. H. Butler, Rev. T. T. Gaskill, William Jones Jr., Walter A. Mason, Arthur A. Schomburg, Clemente H. Fernandez, Daniel J. Hill, Nathan Valentine and the honored guest, "Bruce Grit." Rev. Hubert acted as chairman in place of Dr. Looke Russell, who he stated was unable to be present having been very sick with lobal-pneumonia. The grace was said by the Rev. Hubert and the guests interested themselves in the following menu: Cocktail Manhattan Bluepoints on half shell Olives Bouillon Almonds Baked Bluefish Sauce Tartare St. Julien Chicken Patties Currant Jelly Roast Capon Oyster Dressing Cranberry Sauce Deviled Potatoes French Peas Apple Sauce Champagne C. H. Mumm's Roman Punch Lettuce and quartered Tomatoes --- Mayonaisse Dressing French Ice Cream This menu had interposed quotations of distinguished Negro writers. It was claimed by many to have been very unique. Mr. Louis A. Teppe, Dr. Robert Fraser, Mr. Arthur A. Schomburg, Rev. P. A. Hubert and "Bruce Grit" kept things crispy, repartee and epigrams were in evidence. It was a feast of jolly souls gathered to animate the gray cells of the cerebrum. From one end to the other the festive board was kept in continuous roar with sunshine of the mind. The feast having been finished the chairman, Rev. Hubert, expressed himself in words that were befitting the occasion. It was a pleasure and honor to be present, to render tribute to his friend, "Bruce Grit," who he has known for more than twenty years. He spoke at length of the great work done by Mr. John E. Bruce in behalf of the Negro in America. He was roundly applauded by the guests s'anding and waving their handkerchiefs. When all had been seated he requested Secretary Schomburg to read the communications and among those who sent letters of regrets were: Hon. T.S Clarkson, Surveyor of the Port of New York; C. W. Anderson. Collector of Internal Revenue of New York; Robert Small, Collector of the Port of Beaufort, S. C.; W. E. Chandler, Chairman of the Spanish-American Claim Commission: Leslie Sutherland, Chairman of the Westchester Republican Organization; Dr. Yorke Russell, Dr. G. Mason Joseph of London, W. M Trotter, Editor of Boston Guardian, Hon. Rafail Serra, publicist, poet and member of the Cuban House of Representatives; Hon. Tomas Carrion, novelist, poet and member of the Porto Rico House of Delegates; Rev. Dr. W. H. Brooks; Bishop Alexander Walters, D. D.; E. V. C, Eato, Esq.; Hon. E. W. Blyden, Liberian Minister to State Historian & Natural History Society MAN. NEW MEXICO. NO. 71 NO.71 France; W. A. Lavalette. Esq. of Washington, D.C.; A.S. White, Esq. Louisville, Ky.; Moses DaRocha of the University of Edinburgh; Mrs. Rosetta Douglass-Sprague, daughter of Frederick Douglass; George Austin Duncan, Civil Engineer, Port Melbourne, Australia, and others. The chairman after a few words in forcible and effective manner called upon Mr. Bruce, who responded in a few remarks, a study of the conditions confronting the Negro race. He thanked his friends for their generous words, and it could be seen that he was much affected by the genuine sympathy expressed to the honor of a knight of the quill. He was grateful to the committee and to his personal and loyal friend, Mr. Arthur A. Schomburg, to whose intelligent efforts the success of the dinner was largely due. Mr. Bruce touched upon the question of amalgamation which is being discussed by some of our race men and journals and pointed out the impossibility of absorption of 12 or 15 million Negroes, and said that the Negro has been in America almost since the day of its discovery, and yet had not been quite absorbed by the white or any other race, that no new race type had resulted from constant iteration and reiteration of the advocates of this theory. * * * Mr. Bruce ended by saying, "The Negro may he ever be right, but right or wrong let us remember that he is bone of our bone, and flesh of our flesh and that we are indissolubly linked for weal or for woe, whenever under the sun of heaven one of our race and blood is found. His remarks were greeted with rapturous applause. The chairman then called on Dr. Robert Fraser for a toast and among other things appropriate to the occasion and the man, said, "We have our Bruces, we have our Y. Russells, our Huberts and our Kelly Miller, but tonight we have our "Bruce Grit." The doctor proved himself a most entertaining after dinner orator and was (Continued on editorial page.) --- MUSIC'SQUEER POWER SOME NOTES HAVE REALLY MARVELOUS EFFECT. Scientists Explain the Fall of the Walls of Jericho by This Singular Phenomena-Results of Investigations Startling in the Extreme. If you happen to have a little musicale some night and a picture should come falling from the wall or a statue should totter and tumble from its base when one of the soloists reaches a high key don't be alarmed or regard the incident as an evil omen, says the Brooklyn Eagle. It is only a freak of music. Several thousand years ago a similar occurrence took place, only of course, it was on a more extended scale and made a great deal more talk than the falling of your picture or your statue would make. The occurrence in question was the falling of the walls of Jericho when Joshua's soldiers marched around them and blew their trumpets. A good many people class this as a miracle, but scientists say it was simply one of the many phenomena caused by musical notes. They refer to a parallel case that happened not long ago at Heiligenstart, near Leipsic. A music master of that place was organizing a brass band. One day, as usual, he gathered his musicians for practice in his garden, which was situated at the foot of the ancient walls of the city. Suddenly, while the trumpets had reached their highest notes, the city walls fell with a terrific crash and the musicians scattered in a panic. There is some scientific reason for this, but nobody seems to know just what it is. It is not the forceful vibration of air currents for the detonations of cannons does not have the power in this respect that is exerted by light musical notes. There is some peculiar combination of the notes that causes the ruin of the walls —some unknown force that is as powerful as a blast of dynamite. It is not an unusual thing for a glass to be shattered in a room where a musicale is being held, and for other remarkable mechanical effects to be produced. But the mechanical effects are not the only curious results of this unexplainable combination of notes. So many wonderful things have been produced by music that it may be rightfully classed as one of the mysteries. Numerous investigations in different lines of endeavor have been made as to its power and capabilities and in nearly every instance the results have been startling. One of those who have made study of the curiosities and the mysteries of music is Mrs. Amelia Wood Holbrook of New York. Mrs. Holbrook is a playwright, lecturer and author, and she has probably made greater and more painstaking research into the mysteries of music than any other person in this country. She is a member of the Professional Woman's league, and several other clubs, and her investigations into the science of music have made her well known in all parts of the United States. "No one can explain the strange freaks of music," said Mrs. Holbrook the other day, "but they certainly exist and frequently exhibit themselves." When the proposition is likely to involve others give plenty of time to thought. Philadelphia Bulletin. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. BOY SAVED HIS FRIEND. Kindly Act That Gave Gamekeeper a Good Deal of Exercise. Alfred H. Love, of Philadelphia, the distinguished president of the Universal Peace Union, was talking on the topic, peculiarly congenial to him, of kindness. Smiling slightly, he said: "I once knew a remarkably kind boy. This boy was a great angler. There was a trout stream in his neighborhood, that ran through a rich man's estate, and the water here was very strictly preserved. Permits to fish the stream, however, could be now and then obtained, and the boy was lucky enough to have a permit. "One day he was fishing beside another boy when a gamekeeper suddenly darted forth from a thicket of trees. The lad with the permit suddenly uttered a cry of fright, dropped his rod, and ran off at top speed. The gamekeeper pursued him. "For about a half mile the gamekeeper was led to swift and difficult chase. Then, worn out, the boy halted. The man seized him by the arm and said between his pants: "Have you a permit to fish on this estate?" "Yes, to be sure,' said the boy calmly. "You have! Then show it to me," the gamekeeper demanded. "The boy drew the permit from his pocket. The man examined it—it was quite correct—and frowned in perplexity and anger. "Why did you run when you had this permit?" he asked. "To let the other boy get off,' was the reply. 'He had none.'" Device of Beauty Doctor.

It, After All. In the rotunda of the court house, two men were philosophizing. One sald the people of to-day were not as those of olden time—they were selfish, unmindful of the interests of others, be said. The other contended that the world was better; getting better every day. Ten minutes later the two were in the court room. A young man of thirty years was arraigned on charge of having attempted to take his iffe by slashing his throat with a jack- knife. “I haven't a friend in the world,” said the accused in reply to a question put by the court as to why he had tried to die. “Poor devil. Why did they interfere with his plans? He'd never be miss ed,” said the pessimist to the optimist, as he walked out of court. The unfortunate was held in bail and sent back to the pen with other prisoners. When court had adjourn- ed the optimist called one of the of- ficers aside and said: “I'm a stranger here; my home's in Michigan; but I want to help that man who says he has no friends.” | The unfortunate was brought forth, handed a five-dollar bill along with a | few words of cheer by the man from | Michigan, and finally bailed out. The pair went away together. After all, dear reader, is the world not what we, ourselves, make it? Such incidents as the above seem to indi- cate it, don’t they?—Brooklyn Eagle. Butler's Doubtful Compliment. The late Gen. Benjamin F. Butler told the following on himself: Several years after the war the gen- eral had occasion to visit Georgia, and from a town on the railroad took a two-seated ramshackle vehicle, driven by a typical southern darky, for his place of destination. The general entered into conversa- tion with the driver, and learned that he was one of eleven boys, and that he had a twin brother. He asked the driver his name. “Abraham Lincoln Backus,” was the answer. “A fine, noble name,” safd the gen- eral. The driver was quiet a moment, then suddenly said: “ Wat yo’ think dat twin brudder’s name is?” “T have no idea,” said the general. “His name is Benjamin F. Butler Backus.” The general appreciated the com- pliment, and was thinking it over, when the driver added: “Boss, I was always glad dat I was born fust.” Tallest Californian Dead. Noted for stature, bigness of heart, and stability of character, Andrew J. Hart, the tallest man in California, died in Los Angeles, June 27, at the age of 67 years, He measured 6 feet 1014 inches in height, and, though looking quite slender, weighed 260 pounds. He had lived in Los Angeles for six years, and made hosts of friends among his neighbors. Andrew Hart's father died when he was a boy, leaving a mother for him to provide for as well as the care of the Indiana farm upon which he was born. Until he was 60 years of age he performed this duty for his mother, and it was only her death at a great age that finally released him and left bim free to marry the woman he loved from childhood.

(Various ladies' magazines and happy home periodicals have published valuable rules for the benefit of the newly wed. The following is an attempt to supply the heretofore lacking advice for those who have just succeeded in severing the bonds of matrimony.) It is not necessary to distribute souvenir favors among your witnesses, although this is sometimes done. The going-away-from-court gown should be provided with a long, deep pocket to receive the engrossed decree. It is not good form to publish the announcement of your next wedding prior to the publication of the court's decision. The ex-husband can do many little acts of kindness. For instance, he may show his ex-wife how and where to indorse her alimony checks. It is hardly in good taste to furnish the newspapers with photos of yourself in your bridal veil, even if the photos are the best you ever had taken. In the truly upper circles, an orchestra is provided to play during the hearing of the divorce case. It renders the wedding march with the reverse pedal applied heavily. Use your own judgment as to speaking to the judge or jury on meeting them after your case has been disposed of. Taste and disposition should govern this matter, as in the case of folks you meet at almost any function. It is proper to give interviews to reporters for morning papers and give denials of the interviews to reporters for afternoon papers. This is the established custom and attempts to vary from it will only result in confusion and cause people to regard you as pecullar.—Chicago Tribune. WISDOM'S WHISPERS.

Wait for the grand ball of the season at East Turner Hall Nov. 23rd.

At Manitou Hall the New Dancing Academy with the Harris Orchestra purveyed pleasure and the well known reputation of them both for making good makes comment unnecessary. At East Turner Hall under the management of Wm. Knight, there was a crowd such as seldom assembles at that hall which frollicked the evening away till two o'clock in the festivities of a mask ball. Holley's Orchestra delighted the patrons with the best of music, one piece being encored four times.

The lethargy vanished. Even before the signal flag had left the yeoman's hand the squadron had passed the bugle call along. To fight now was imperative. It had already begun; the rattle of the Novik's quick-firers rolled across the summer sea; she was engaging the more enterprising of Togo's scouts. Back the little boats steamed to shelter under the guns of the battle squadron. The Russians would fight—the battle flags were bent. The great ship quivered and then quivered again. It was only the twelve-inch guns, but they made the conning tower rock. The Japanese had maneuvered and were now standing in on the starboard beam. The Russian admiral changed his course. Great projectiles were ricochetting overhead and raising geysers of salt spray all around them. But for the present the flagship could answer shot for shot. The admiral clinched the handrail. His face was still pale, but the fighting light was in his eyes. 'Make the fleet signal, "Close up—follow me!"' "At the same moment there was a deafening crash and the vessel swung so that every one in the conning tower was thrown against the walls. 'What was that—mine?' The dread of mine and torpedo by this time was ingrained in every Russian sailor, and as the flag lieutenant sprang down the ladder the horrible nightmare of the Petropavlovsk leaped before his mental vision. A deck officer came hurrying forward. He reported that a large shell had hit the after thirteen-inch turret, glanced and in bursting wrecked the top above. 'Awful! Poor fellows! Flesh came down with the splinters on the deck like confetti in a carnival.' "Then the vessel staggered from two terrific blows forward. The flag lieutenant stumbled ahead, drawing his hands mechanically to his ears, while the torn fragments of iron and splinter soughed past him. Biting, stinging smoke blinded him, while the force of the concussion flattened him against a ventilator. The first sight that he saw was the mangled frame of his comrade. The top of the poor wretch's head was gone, a half-burned cigarette was still between the clinched teeth. He threw his glance upward—the forward smokestack was rent from top to bottom and the flame and smoke were licking round the base. The twelve-inch guns in the forward battery solemnly fired and the ear-splitting crack of the discharge brought the youth to his senses. He made for the ladder. Great God! The conning tower and forward bridge were but torn, smoking and twisted wreck. "A man jumped to the deck. His face was as black as an Ethiopian, his uniform and beard torn and discolored to a filthy yellow, his left arm, severed at the biceps, was dangling by THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. a sinew. 'All are killed, admiral, all,' the figure gasped as it reeled and sunk fainting to the deck." BRAINS SAID TO BE INHERITED Not Merely Their Quality but Their Form Handed on From Parents. The inheritance of bodily characteristics, both by man and the lower animals, is too well known to need comment, says Collier's Weekly. In the same way we are accustomed to think of mental attributes as being more or less hereditary. From a priori consideration we have every reason to expect that the organ which is the physical basis of the mental faculties, the brain, should show in its structure the influence of heredity. It has rarely happened, however, that any comparative study of the brain structures of near relatives has been possible. A peculiarly fine opportunity for such observations was afforded when the brains of three brothers were given to a competent observer for examination. The brains were those of Willis, Burton and Fred Van Wormer, all of whom were executed in New York state. All three brains showed marked similarity in general form, differing chiefly in the matter of size. Some unusual features were present in all three; one characteristic in particular, which is of great rarity, occurred in all three. These facts lend much support to the idea that peculiarities of brain structure are inherited as well as peculiarities of face and figure. In the case of these three brothers no attempt was made to associate the configuration of the brain with the nature of the crimes of the men. BONES FROM THE SEA. Sogger Bank the Last Refuge When North Sea Was Making. In the days when Great Britain and Ireland were one-geologically, not politically—and were part of the continent of Europe; when the Irish sea, the Bristol channel, the English channel, and even the North sea were merely fertile valleys, various prehistoric beasts had a vast field on which to roam. Edward Martin, in an article in Knowledge, describes how these lands became submerged, and how, when the great North sea plain sank beneath the waves, the Dogger island, as it may be called, was the last to go. Here the wild animals would naturally congregate as they were driven little by little from their old haunts by the ever-advancing sea, and here they were all finally entombed when their last resting place disappeared. And now it is a common thing for the trawlers on the famous fishing ground, which is all that remains of the island, to catch among the fish a bone or two which originally formed part of an antediluvian animal. Indeed, the skeletons are said to be so numerous on the Dogger bank that scarcely a trawl is brought up which does not contain a bone or a tooth of one of the ancient inhabitants of the submerged island.

Free Press. Descendants of Ham. Po a Cee es Wee Pd ek keel A ae gee et ee a, ee ee ee my purpose to merely give a narra- tive of what the Negro race has ac- complished in a very short period of time, but rather to prove that the Ne- gro has an ancestry and a history to which it may refer with much pride and of which it may be justly proud. All races except the Negro race con- sider it a great honor to trace their. ancestry back to ancient times. It has been said and is still being said that the Negroes have no ancestors, and we ourselves are ever bemoaning and lamenting tne fact that we are descendants of Ham, upon one of whose sons a curse was pronounced, A more serious and erroneous misteke could not be made. 7 The sons of Ham were as follows: Mizraim, Cush, Phut and Canaan. Remember the curse was pronounced upon Canaan, the youngest son of Ham, and not upon Mizraim, Cush and’ Phut. Another important thing we must remember is this: It is commonly | said that God pronounced the curse | upon Canaan. Such is not true. It: was Noah himself who pronounced the | curse upon Canaan. In Gen. 9: 24, 25. verses we find these words: “And Noah awoke from his wine and knew: what his younger son had done unto him. And he said cursed be Canaan; @ servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.” Thus you see the curse was pronounced upon Canaan only. | Regardless of this fact, however, Canaan and his descendants became a great people and mighty rulers, Ca- naan and his descendants peopled FB estine, and they ruled this country for hundreds rare When the prom- ise was made to Abraham the descend- ants of Canaan were in Palestiny; when Israel came up out of Egypt. four hundred years later they were still in possession of it; and evén) after the Israelites had entered upon their promised possessions two tribes, the Jebusites and the Sidonians, re- sisted them for four hundred years. Not until David became king were the Jebusites driven out, and be did not succeed in driving out the Sidonians. The Phoenicians, the founders or Carthage, were descendants of Ca-| naan. Ancient history proves this fact. And since we know it is char- acteristic of the Caucasian to try to deprive the Negroes of everything that is honorable and commendable, let us quote from Rollin, one of the earliest historians, He says: “The Canaan- ites are the same people who are called almost always Phoenicians by the Greeks.” Dr. Barnes also says that the Phoenicians are descendants of the Canaanites, In his commen- tarles on Mat, xv:22 he says this of the woman who met Jesus on the coasts of Tyre and Sidon: “This woman is also called a Greek, a Siro- Phoenician by birth.” On the same text Dr. Abbott also says: “The term Canaan was the older title of the country, and the inhabitants ‘were suc- cessively termed Cannanites and Phoenicians, as the inhabitants of En- land were successively called oa and Englishmen.” All students of history are well! aware of what the Carthagenians, the direct descendants of Canaan, did for the world in the way of art, science and literature. In speaking of the Carthagenian government Rollin says: “The government of Carthage was founded upon principles of most con- summate wisdom; and it is with rea- won that Aristotle ranks this republic THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Pe ee BR te vat coe Pt ita eee eee that of the descendants of Canaan? So great is such an ancestry that the blue-eyed Anglo-Saxon has tried to rob the Negro race of any claim to it what- ever. Let us now turn our attention to the direct ancestors of the Negro race. It is a historical fact that Egypt and Etheopia were peopled contempora- neously by Mizraim and Cush, the two older sone of Ham; and these two countries for a long time were confed- erated under one government, being a similar people in politics and litera- ture. One of the first and most emi- nent historians has proved beyond any reasonable doubt that Egypt and Ethe- opia were first among the early mo- nachies, and that an ancestor of the Negro race was one of the first of the earth's great monarchs. Rollin, speak- ing of the sons of Ham, says: “Cush settled in Etheopia and Mizraim in Egypt.” Both the Holy Scriptures, the discoveries of science and ancient history show with conclusive evidence that the ancient Egyptians were black. The book of Psalm continually speaks of Egypt as being the land of Ham. Here are a few verses from the book Psalm: “And he smote all the first born in Egypt; the chief of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham.” Psaim 78:51. “Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.” Psalm 105:23. “He sent Moses, his servant; and Aaron whom he had chosen. They shewed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.” Psalm 105:26, 27. “They forgot God their Saviour, which had done great things in Egypt; Wondrous works in the land of Ham.” Psalm 106:21, 22. As a further evidence that the an- clent Egyptians were black and were Negroes let us quote from Herodotus. This writer traveled extensively through Egypt and was therefore well acquainted, from his own observations, with the appearance of the people. Speaking of the Egyptians he uses the following words: “Black in com- plexion and wooly haired." “Black with projecting lips.” That the an- cient Etheopians were also Negroes the most eminent historians agree. And we also have this Scripture query concerning them; “Can the Etheo- pian change his skin?” Solomon, the wise man, married a Negro woman, having married the daughter of Pha- raoh, king of Egypt- Sufficient evidence being given to show that the ancient Egyptians and Etheopians were Negroes let us now review their intellectual capabilities. According to history Africa was at one time the nursery of science and lit- erature. It was from this point that science and literature were dissemi- nated among the Greeks and Romans. Solon, Plato, Phythagoras and many other learned men of ancient Greece made many trips into Africa in search of knowledge. History proves that the Greeks represented Minerva, their fa- vorite goddess of wisdom, as an Af- rican princess. Multitudes of people flocked from all parts of the world to receive instruction from the African, Euclid who was, just three hundred years before Christ, at the head of the most celebrated mathematical institu- tion in the world. Africa has been termed the cradle of the ancient church; and we all know it was the asylum, so to speak, of the Infant Sav- jour; for it was into Egypt that Jo- seph fled with the Child Jesus and his lian, Augustine, Clemmens, Alexandri- nus and Cyril. How dare then anyone say that Africa is without her her- aldry of science and of fame, or that the Negro race has no ancestry and history to which it may refer with a sense of honor? History also proves that the whole race of Africa sprang from the Egyp- tians and Etheopians. And everybody certainly does know that the Negroes of North America, of Central America and South America descended orig- inally from the African tribes. Now, the question is, What have the Ne groes of the three Americas accom-| plished? Have they done anything pee is praiseworthy or that deserves favorable comment? The answer is, Yes. During the antebellum days the white people of America said that the Negroes were stupid, immoral, degen- erate and not capable of attaining unto a high standard of civilization; and the same is said by many whites of today. Just. what the white people have said about the Negroes the Ro- mans said about the Britons. Both) ‘Cicero and Caesar said that the Brit- ons were so stupid and uncivilized that they were not fit to be Roman slaves. As proof of such I will give two or three of their statements. Cicero, writing to his friend Atticus, has this. to say: “The ugliest and most stupid slaves in Rome came from Briton; do not buy slaves fro mBriton, on account of their stupidity, and their inaptitude to learn musie and other accomplish- ments.” Caesar, speaking of the Brit: ons, says: “In their domestic and so- cial habits the Britons are as degraded | as the most savage nations.” Dr. Phil- lip has. this to says about what Cicero said concerning the Britons: “Seated one day in the house of a friend in pipe Town with a bust of Cicero in my right hand, and one of Sir Isaac Newton on the left, I accidentally ened a book on the table at that passage in Cicero's letter to Atticus in which the philosopher speaks so con- temptuously of the natives of Great Briton. Struck with the curious coin- cidence arising from the circum- stances in which I then found myself placed, pointing to the bust of Cicero, and then to that of Sir Isaac Newton, I conld not help exclaiming: ‘Hear what that man says of that man’s country.’ " The descendants of the Britons, many centuries ago, refuted every- thing the Romans said about them and became the dominant race of the world. And so have the Negroes re- futed what the white people of Amer- ica have said concerning them, and they will in time become the dominant race of the world. Those who are less optimistic than myself think such is impossible. So thought the Romans of the Britons. The professor of an- cient history at Yale University star- tled the whole American continent six years ago when he said that the Negro race would in time become the dominant race of America, This stands to reason when all things are taken into consideration. It is an ac- knowledged fact that the American Negroes have done more and have ac- complished more in forty years than any other race in the world. A race that can produce such men as Toussaint L’Ouverture, Banniker, Crispus Attucks, Fred Douglass, Bishop Allen, B. T. Washington, Scar- boroug, Dubois, Bowen, Kelley Miller was an exception; Gladstone, who strived long and hard for the conyer- sion of England from a feudal to a democratic commonwealth, was an ex- ception; George Washington, “The Father of his country,” was an excep- tion; Lincoln, who gave his life for the maintenance of the Union and the abolition of slavery, was an excep- tion; President Roosevelt, the father of “a square deal” and the “open door policy,” is an exception. The Negro can do anything that the white man can do. Educationally he has reduced his illiteracy forty-five per cent.; he has written more than five hundred books; there are in the Unit- ed States at least 30,000 Negro teach- ers, 2,000 lawyers, more than 2,000 doctors, 180 inventors and 400 Negro newspapers. He has furnished a thor- oughly equipped man to fill any chair of learning in the universities of the United States. The accumulations made by the Negro in wealth and property since the emancipation is marvelous. I will give some figures taken from the “Twentieth Century Negro Litera- ture”: anuey Vwi BOWES i jv occa s'enn cree oop stn neem Magexines co) oesre ss cree eee NOWSPADETS 5.5.5 62556). d 802A: Value of— Libraries ..............$ 500,000 Drug StOres.< ....3..654.- 500,000 School property ........ 20,000,000 Church property ....... 42,000,000 160,000 farms ............ 400,000,000 150,000 homes ........... 350,000,000 Personal property ........ 200,000,000 With such a showing as this the race should be greatly encouraged. In- dividuals may lose hope, but the race never will. Before closing I desire to impress one thing upon yeur minds. Nowhere in this paper have I encouraged Negro emigration to Africa, for I am bitterly opposed to it. The Negro is an Amer- ican citizen; he is an integral part of the American nation; this is his coun- try; he belongs here, and here hp will stay. ' Just a word concerning those who are trying to get away from the race, who are trying to shield their identity with the descendants of Ham; in other words, trying to be white. I ask anyone in this audience to point out or name one person of that class who has ever amounted to anything, who has ever done anything, or who is do- ing anything for the good of his race or any other race. The white people do not care to be identified with such persons; but they do laugh and sneer at them for being so small, narrow- minded and ignorant. It is just as im- possible for these would-be race de- serters to mingle with the decent classes of white people as it is for the Mississippi river to change its course. Such persous are dupes, sneaks, knaves, and a disgrace to the Negro race. I would give this advice: Be yourself, be real, be what you will or may, but first of all be yourself and the world will like you better for it. In closing this paper I know of no words more appropriate than those of the following poem: “Some of these days all the skies will be brighter, Some of these days all the burdens be lighter, Hearts will be happier, souls will be whiter, Some of these days. Some of these days, in the deserts up- Fountains shall flash while the joy- bells are ringing, And the world, with its sweetest of birds, shall go singing, Some of these days. Some of these days: Let us bear with our sorrow, Faith in the future—its light we may borrow, There will be joy in the golden to- morrow— Some of these days.” : DR. GEO. W.

She was assisted by home musical talent which was upto its usual standard. Dervish Whirling Record. A new record for dervish whirling is believed to have been established at Madison Garden, New York, by the performance of Marie Bayrooty, from Beirut, who kept herself awhirl spinning like a human top for 32 minutes. The former record for dervish whirling is given as 25 minutes. After whirling for a quarter of an hour she asked for an orange, which she ate, still whirling. Then she ate two bananas. Hay's Premonition of Death Secretary Hay, less than a year ago, predicted that he would not live twelve months longer. This was in conversation with James Dubois, a state department official, and others. The latter expressed the hope that Mr. Hay would remain in the cabinet during this presidential term, and thus serve longer as secretary of state than any of his predecessors. The secretary said: "No, I shall not live to serve another year." The Man and the Machine Mr. Alexander T.

Remember the Alllance meets at Shorter Church Sunday, The local political wiseacres of our race who are always declaiming upon the wickedness of voting anything buta straight republican ticket must have had a rude shock when they read in the telegraphic news of the bold declaration of Secretary of War Taft that decent citizens should not vote for the republican candidates in a certain district in Ohio. To get dowa to hard facts and common sense, there is hardly a public man today who counts for anything who has not followed right even if it took him out- side the party at times. This does not mean in any sense that he is less a party man and a republican but that in his opinion the party has forsaken its former ideals. Let colored mea stick to the party because of its past, and at the same time insist in any way that they can make count, that the party live up to its past record. Out of the cloud of criticism and comment that has surrounded the Wizard of Tuskegee during the past fewyeare comes the compliment of a visit by President Roos2velt to his THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. school. Without doubt the most re- markable character at present before the American people is this man of our race, Booker T. Washington. He has held the center cf the stage ever since the Atlanta Exposition and to his credit it must be said that despite adverse criticism, he has made good in the one work which is peculiarly bis. He bas not turned his hand from the plow and more than any other has drawn the support of the white people to the education of col- ored people. No longer is our ad- vancemert undertaken by whites in the spirit of mere sacrifice but is now considered aduty both to us and to their own race as well. The visit of the President will be considered a compliment to the man who made Tuskeges and not merely as an ex pression of his good wishes for Ne groes. His utterances there in dis evasion the race problem were broad atd manly and were spiced with | enough of the unpalatable truth about our own duty to make them profitable. More and more it is being urged and accepted that the strained relations of the two races in this country are of vital concern tothe whites and at the same time there is no let up in These stylish cards on the best Wedding Bristol board only 35c for 50 delivered anywhere in the world. Send stamps or money, | Mas, Clanissa Davis. | oe ce eee gees their insistance that we are in fault as well, The most intelligent of our rece are deploring the feeble and spasmodic efforts made at individual improvement. They are planning and advising but the leaven is work- ing but feebly and the whole mass lies inert. In this interim whatever may be the short comings of indus- trial education and however much it may be that Mr. Washington's idea falls short of ideal, still he is doing something marvelous, transforming the Negroes who come into his hands into better men, and filling the gap between the slavery and reconstruct- ion periods and that greater day when the race as a whole will realize its responsibilities and duties as well as its rights and privileges. The President has done the handsome thing. This work-a day world val- ues what Mr. Washington is doing and it has taken the big heart of Mr. Roosevelt to make bim feel that he is appreciated. Scaring Burglars. “Ll was away from home for three days last week. One night iny wife heard burglars—the same burgiars that she has been hearing ever since we were married. ‘I'll make them think there's a man in the house,’ she decided. So she put on a pair of my shoes and tramped about on the hardwoed floors for any hour to scare them away. My wife !s a diplomat” Honor to Whom It Is Due (Continued from first page.) heartily applauded, Then followed the secretary, Mr. Arthur A. Schom burg, who said in his toast, “Some: thing extraordinary has happened when out of ten millions of our peo- ple there is not a single sable yoice to put an objection to injustice. But if great the wrong, greater the injury Thirty odd years bring outin relief Buxton’s exclamation made soon af ter 1834 of Negro emancipation in the West Indies to be prophetic, “Let cone of us forget that those who are emancipated will be assailed with many an attempt to curb and crueh their liberty.” We are endeavoring to break down these barriers that have been so forcible set up. In hon- oring this Marylander knight of the quill we indirectly honor all others ho have done rigbt by our peopie. We express our latest thoughts that these who render tothe masses faith- fully their services will be rewarded: These are the knights who educate, ‘propagate and inculcate in the mass- es the spirit of pride and the defense of our patrimony.” | Then followed Mr. Louis A, Tey pe the master of wit. He kept both ends the center and points of the ‘compara centered on bis animated and friendly spirit. He paid his re- spects to the honored guest in terms of admiration of the character and oe of Bruce Grit. Of a'l banquets he had attended it was one of the best in every way. The chairman was uneasy because it was after one o'clock and speeches followed each other, every one had to express himself. It was a case of “I must be heard” and heard to the hon- ‘or of Bruce Grit. Prof. W. H. But- ‘ler for a toast performed on the zith- ler.

Gaskill, Walter A. Mason, Daniel Hill, and others. Three resolutions were mad» to thank Prof. Butler for his orchestra, to print in book the proceedings of the banquet, and third to give thanks for the lavish supper given under the competent management of the propri- etor, B njamin Thomas, of the Hotel Maceo. They were all carried. The clock was about to strike two when at the strains of “Hone Sweet Home” all reported from a memora- ble and enjoyable banquet in honor of a man who indeed merits greater appreciation from the.
