THE STATESMAN. ORGAN OF THE COLORED PEOPLE IN COLORADO, WYOMING, MONTANA, UTAH AND NEW MEXICO. OUR GLORIOUS PAST Bruce Grit Discusses the White Race's Ancestry. VOL. XVI. OUR GLOR Bruce Grit Discusses the Special to St. Luke's Herald. On the heels of the Clansman, "tomdixons latest" thriller, which is a decided abortion historically and from a literary viewpoint, the brethren in the conspiracy to do the "Nigger" are already beginning to rush into print and say things about us, calculated to strengthen the tomdixon theory regarding the Negro, and to spread the leaven of prejudice in thick slices where it will do the most good. "An Old Abolitionist" is the latest contributor to the Symposium. He hails from East Orange, N. J., and his name it is Dailey. He isn't offended at Roosevelt for eating with Booker that time, still, nevertheless and notwithstanding, he thinks indiscriminate, social equality or the mingling of the races would not be for the best. He makes the broad statement that the war of rebellion was the fault of man, not providence; that the Negroes haven't as strong a claim upon the nation as the Indians, and he would regard it as an outrage if the people of Oklahoma, Indian Territory, New Mexico and Arizona were ```markdown ``` DENVER, COLORADO, FRIDAY, JAN. 12, 1906 Estate Historian ural History Society STA COLORED PEOPLE IN COLORADO, DENVER, COLORA RIOUS PAST White Race's Ancestry. driven out and Negroes permitted to congregate in those states and territories. He is of opinion that there is but one true remedy for the solution of the race problem, viz.: the extinction of the Negro, but does not say in what way the process of extinction is to be brought about. The extinction of the Irish, Hebrews, Scotch and other races in this country has been through amalgamation and intermarriage. Of the Indian and the Negro by the shotgun, the stake and the hemp route. I regret that Mr. Dailey does not make himself clear on this point, as I am loath to believe that he is in favor of the same methods for bringing about the extinction of the Negro as have been and are still employed to produce the composite American, so-called. I infer, therefore, that he favors the more drastic method—the same method which has been used to make "good Indians." This is the tomdixon idea, exactly. Mr. Dailey further observes that the white race has no need of anything that the "Amerfrican" can give it, neither physically, mentally, --- morally nor aesthetically, and therefore, amalgamation would be deterioration. The superman does not need a drop of African blood. All of this is very rich reading, indeed. Mr. Dailey is either in his dotage or his headpiece ain't built on proper lines. I pass over all he has said up to his last observation, which I cannot permit to go unchallenged. I am charitable enough to grant that Mr. Dailey is not as familiar with this phase of his subject as he thinks he is and will be generous enough to furnish him with a few facts, going to show the very opposite of what he states, with regard to the Negro's contribution to white civilization, so called. Mr. Dailey's race has availed itself of the use of all the agencies it found in the way in its march to the heights from which it now looks down with contempt upon the African. From whence did his race derive its knowledge of litters, of mathematics, of the sciences, navigation, astronomy, medicine, jurisprudence, philosophy, if not from the African? And where, pray, did it get its notions of religion but from these same Africans? The Greeks and Romans were glad enough to make yearly pilgrimages into Africa and sit at the feet of its black philosophers and scholars and drink in wisdom, and they diffused this wisdom throughout Greece and Rome, making it their own. The moderns now imitate the Greeks and Romans, entirely ignoring or forgetting, if they ever knew, that these peoples derived all their knowledge of art, literature and science from the blacks of Africa. The Greeks were so appreciative and grateful to these ebon philosophers for the knowledge they gained from them on these yearly pilgrimages into Africa that they in compliment to these learned blacks represented their favorite goddess, Minerva, as an African princess. The Old Testament was written in NO. 30 Africa, and Coel-Syria, in the land of Moab, and translated into the Greek tongue from the Hebrew by the Egyptian and Jerusalem Jews, by order of Ptolemy Philadelphia, an Etheopian king of Egypt. Eusebius, the father of ecclesiastical history, was born in Caesarea, of Palestine, the inhabitants of which were descendants of Ham. Didymus, of Africa, was renowned for his skill in philosophy, rhetoric and geometry. He filled the chair of the famous School of Alexandria. He wrote a treatise on the "Holy Spirit," of which Jerome gave a Latin translation. The work is the best the Christian world ever saw on the subject, and whatever has been said since that time in defense of the Divinity and personality of the Holy Ghost seem in substance to be found in that book. Jason, an African of Cyrene, wrote five books of 2 Mac. ii, Acts ii, 10, the history of the second book of Maccabees being an abstract and breviary of the five books of Jason, a Jew of Cyrene. Mr. Dailey and all of his tribe, who essay to belittle the Negro by inuendo and the use of great, swelling words to impress us with the importance of the race to which they belong, ought first to secure copies of some reliable histories and read them. In these they would find, on careful search, much that is not creditable to their race and much more that will show beyond the shadow of a doubt that the black race has rendered to civilization and religion greater service than any other race on earth. "Africa occupies," says Dr. Harvey Johnson, "the most prominent place with reference to the solar system of any country on earth, for it is the center of the globe. Yes, the center of the world; and the proof of this is that the equator passes clear through it from east to west. Hence, if you (Continued on editorial page.) THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO.

The largest, perhaps, are those in use in St. Peter's Rome. These shells attain a weight of 500 pounds (the two valves together), the animal itself sometimes being twenty pounds in weight. The word "tridacna" is from the Greek tridaknos (eaten at three bites), but who could eat a twenty-pound animal at three bites?—St. Nicholas. Invading Woman. Women are to invade another of men's preserves. Women bailiffs are now making their appearance. One of the largest house agencies in London has applied for certificates for a number of women men-in-possession," with the idea of employing them in the large number of cases that crop up in which the person levied upon is herself a woman, or an elderly person not likely to cause trouble to the bailiff. She Uses the Spools. A young woman stenographer, whose business experience has not robbed her of her domestic inclinations, makes a good use of the spools on which her typewriter ribbons are wound. She washes them well to remove any suspicion of ink, and uses them to wind baby ribbons, pieces of lace and other odds and ends on. The spools are very well made, and fill their extra role very well, indeed. Hereditary Elephant Catchers. In the Batticaloa District of Ceylon hereditary elephant catchers live. These men follow the elephants in the jungle with a moose of strong raw hide, and seize the opportunity of an animal raising its foot to slip the noose round it, and then take a turn round a tree with the other end. The victim is soon reduced to submission by starvation. Weighing Pearls. The method of weighing pearls differs from that of other gems, they being measured by their weight in grains. The grain used is not that of the troy grain, but is four-fifths of it, so that four troy grains are equal to five pearl grains, and a troy ounce contains 600 pearl grains.—Baltimore Herald. Antarctic Area. The Antarctic area consists of two continental land-masses of unequal size—Queen Victoria Land and King Edward VII Land—separated by a marvelous barrier of flat-topped icebergs, and of two seas extending far to the south—the Ross sea and the Weddell sea. United States Forest Reserves. The United States forest reserves now number sixty-two.

An Expert Opinion. Mr. Andrew Lang says nothing is drearier than talk about patent putters, patent clubs and patent cleeks.

It is reported that a new kind of rubber tree has been discovered in the island of Madagascar, said to contain much caoutchouc juice, which coagulates upon being boiled, producing 89 per cent caoutchouc of good quality. The tree is called "Pirahazo" by the natives and attains a height of over forty feet. It is found in groves in the northwestern part of the island near Amboyo an dis marketed in Sooola. This caoutchouc has slight mineral ingredients. Last Shot Brought Death. In the battle of the Sea of Japan the Russian vessel Borodino continued fighting till she sunk. What was practically her last shot struck the Asahi astern, killing or mortally wounding Lieut. Morishita and seven others. Lieut. Morishita's leg was shot off, but, using his sword as a crutch, he managed to reach the deck. There he asked for some paper on which to write a farewell message to the Japanese navy. He scrawled the words: "Banzai! I die a glorious death," and fell back dead. Europe's Largest Fig Tree. The largest fig tree in Western Europe is the one at Roscvoff, Brittany. It is in the garden of a Capuchin convent, and its spreading branches, supported by scaffolding, are said to be capable of sheltering over 200 persons.

The stained-glass window to the memory of Dr. Parker in the City Temple, London, represents St. Paul's farewell to the elders at Ephesus. The faces of the elders form a noble and striking group. Underneath are the words: "Sorrowing most of all that they should see his face no more." In the lower panel there is a very fine portrait of Dr. Parker. Tea Growing in India. The half-million acres cultivated in tea in India produce 190,000,000 pounds, the investment being about $100 an acre. The labor required is thirteen persons to the acre. One pound of India tea will produce seven and a half gallons of tea of a given strength, while the tea of China will produce but five gallons. Co-Operative Presents. Co-operative wedding presents are now quite the fashion. When a couple are about to marry their friends combine forces and give them one or more handsome presents instead of a number of smaller ones.

In despair he decided to write a letter to the young lady, expressing his deep affection for her. He was by no means brilliant, and letter after letter was torn up in disgust. He dare not ask his friends to write for him, for he knew them to be quite capable of turning the whole matter into a joke. At last he hit upon the plan of buying a book of letters. On the finest white paper he carefully copied out the model letter on "Declaration of Love." The girl, who was very lively, was much amused, and showed it to her friends, one of whom informed her that she had seen it before in print. The letter-book was found, to the intense delight of the cruel charmer and her friends, and the poor youth received the following crushing reply: "I have received your note. Turn over the leaf in your book of ready-made letters, and you will find my answer. Many thanks for saving me so much trouble in replying."—London Answers. MONEY IN VANILLA BEANS Five-Acre Plantation Renders Its Owner Independent. The region about Tuxpam, in the state of Vera Cruz, Mexico, is the natural habitat of the vanilla vine. The land is cleared of underbrush and the vine cuttings, which should be about eighteen inches long, are planted beside suitable trees, left standing for the purpose. As soon as the joints commence to sprout they throw out tendrils, which cling tenaciously to the trees, and soon form climbing vines, which after three to four years, commence to bear. In the fifth year the vine will be in full bearing, and will produce from fifteen to forty beans, each bean worth from 8 to 10 cents Mexican (3.82 to 4.77 cents United States); in certain years the beans have been known to sell as high as 15 cents (8.59 cents) apiece. The cursed beans command a much higher price. It is estimated that a five-acre vanilla plantation will yield sufficient income to render its owner independent for the remainder of his life. House-Fly Carries Disease. The house-fly is, of itself, a great disseminator of disease, partaking and polluting as it does the food and drink of man, says a writer in Leslie's Monthly. Military authorities have noticed that officers whose tents were fly-screened suffered proportionately less from the attack of typhoid fever than did those whose tents were unprotected. The latter seems well nigh impossible, but one of the two must be done. The mosquito carries malaria and yellow fever; the rat carries the plague; the cat and dog, hydrophobia; the hog, trichino; the sheep, cattle and horses, anthrax and glanders; and they all carry tuberculosis. In the Tibetan Country. Here is a description of a country scene in Tibet, taken from Col. L. A. Waddell's note book, "Lhassa ar Its Mysteries": "From every hamlet the cottagers had swarmed out into their fields and were busily plowing and sowing in the glorious sunshine THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. forming pleasing bits of color. The men were plowing with oxen gaudily bedecked with plumes of wool dyed glowing scarlet and blue, with long throat tassels of dyed yak's tails and harness of jingling bells, while close behind the plowers came the gayly dressed women as the sowers, scattering broadcast the seed from their baskets." MOURNED HIS LOST CENT. Boy's Miserliness Greater Than His Reasoning Power. Henry H. Rogers of the Standard Oil company was born in Fairhaven, Mass., and a Fairhaven woman said of him the other day: "Mr. Rogers is liberal. As a boy he was the same. I never saw any one as free with his money as this man. "I once asked Mr. Rogers the best and quickest way to accumulate a big fortune, and he told me that liberality—a willingness to part with lots of money in the hope of getting still more back—was the secret of success, provided that industry and intelligence accompanied it. "He said that penuriousness was fatal to the speedy acquisition of wealth, and he pointed to the case of a miser, a friend of his boyhood, who, with all his scrimpings and scrapings, had hardly saved $10,000 in the course of a long life. "I remembered this miser well. Even as a little child he had been mean and close. A lady, one afternoon, had found him seated on a curbstone crying and weeping as if his heart would break. "'What is the matter, my poor child?' the lady said. "'Oh,' sobbed the child, 'I've lost a penny what my mother give me.' "'Poor dear,' said the lady. 'Poor little dear.' "And she opened her pocketbook and took out another penny. "'There,' she said. 'Take that.' "And she walked on, well pleased with her philanthropy. "But she had hardly gotten ten yards away before the youngster began to howl louder than before. "Now, now, child,' said the lady, returning. 'What is the matter now?' "It's that cent I lost,' sobbed the boy. 'If I hadn't 'a' lost it, I'd 'a' had two cents now.'"—Buffalo Enquirer. Judge Kennedy's View Confirmed. Judge Kennedy of the Newton police court, although a model of courtesy on the bench, never fails to nail a lie, especially if the falsifier is on trial for a crime. An old offender was arraigned before him, charged with drunkenness. When the complaint had been read the defendant bravely answered, "Not guilty." The judge, eyeing him sharply, inquired: "How long since you were drunk?" The prisoner answered that he hadn't taken a drink for more than a year. "That's not true," replied his honor. "I saw you drunk within a month, on the street in Boston, and you had the impudence to accost me." "Did I spake to you, sor?" asked the prisoner. "You did," said the court. "Well, thin, I must have been drunk, yer anner." No one in the court room enjoyed the incident more than the judge. SOME LAWYERS' FEES CLIENTS CALLED ON TO PAY QUEER CHARGES. According to London Newspaper Gratitude Is Not a Striking Feature in the Makeup of English Pleaders at the Bar of Justice. Some curious evidence was recently given in a case which turned on a solicitor's charge, one witness testifying that the man of law had remarked that "winks would have to be paid for," says Stray Stories, London. That some very curious items are found occasionally in a solicitor's bill of costs was amply borne out by a legal gentleman whom a representative of this paper recently consulted on the subject. "A managing clerk who was once in my employment," began the man of law, "made such a favorable impression on a client that one day the latter showed his appreciation of my clerk's efforts on his behalf by incontinently taking off a valuable diamond pin he was wearing and presenting it to him. "That unconscionable clerk of mine actually made a charge for receiving it, as follows: "To attending you: Long and special interview, when you presented me with your diamond pin, $3.25." "A certain firm of solicitors, with offices not many hundred yards from where we are sitting now, were conducting a case for a very impecunious client who was laying claim to a large sum of money. "Thanks to his legal advisers, he eventually obtained possession of the amount, but in the meantime he was practically supported by his solicitors. When their bill was presented it was a study. But the champion item was this: "To attending you when you requested the loan of four cents, in order to pay your omnibus fare to Hampstead, where you were to meet a relative, $1.65; to advance, 4 cents." "Here is a pendant to the story of the greedy clerk, the grateful client and the diamond pin. It is absolutely incredible, but at the same time absolutely true. It concerns another grateful client, who was so overjoyed at winning a case that he invited his solicitor to a most gorgeous dinner to celebrate the victory. "The food, the wines, the cigars and other concomitants were of the finest and most expensive kinds and a most enjoyable dinner was followed by a box at the theater. "However, all through the festivities the man of law kept a keen eye on his business interests, for in his bill there subsequently appeared the amazing items: "'To attending you at dinner, $1.65; to attending you at theater, $1.65.' "History does not record what the grateful client said when he perused the bill." Turned From Music to Cats. Mr. Louis Wain, the celebrated cat artist, was a teacher of music in the days of early manhood, and he composed a great deal. A Cynic's Definition: A reformer is a politician whose repentance is not allowed to be followed by reinission of sins.—Atlanta Journal. Truly German. "Bob" Hilliard and a party of friends were seated in an uptown cafe noted for the excellence of its German dishes. Before them on the table was a platter filled with all sorts of sliced bolognas. One brand of the sausage was unknown to all present, and there arose a discussion as to its composition. Finally "Bob" called the waiter. "What is that?" he asked, pointing at the disputed wurst. The waiter blinked solemnly for a few seconds. "Id's sixty cents, including der last peers," he replied.—New York Press. Barber-I am trying a new kind of imported soap; don't you think the odor is excellent? Customer-Fine! The flavor is good too! Memory. Memory is a curious and arbitrary creature. You can never tell what pebble she will pick up from the shore of life to keep among her treasures, or what inconspicuous flower of the field she will preserve as the symbol of "Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears." She has her own scale of values for these mementoes, and knows nothing of the market price of precious stones or the costly splendor or rare orchids. The thing that pleases her is the thing she will hold fast. And yet I do not doubt that the most important things are always the best remembered; only we must learn the real importance of what we see and hear in the world is to be measured at least by its meaning, its significance, its intimacy with the heart of our heart and the life of our life.— Babylonian Cemeteries Drained. The Babylonians, who buried, instead of cremating their dead, carefully provided their cemeteries with drains. The graves were small house-shaped structures entirely or partly above ground, and whenever they were found upon the sloping side of a mound, they were protected above by a breakwater, while along the sides were square, open brick drains. The result was that some of the graves, although thousands of years old, and constructed of unbaked clay, are still in a perfect state of preservation. The Wilt of Wealth.

At one time the word "gent" was a reputable term for general use. A respectable writer in 1564 tells of "a supper to divers gentlemen of the Gray's Inne, for the great amitie between them and the Middle Temple gents." The diarist Evelyn speaks of the "noise and tumult occasioned by three or four wild gents in drink." Soon after Queen Victoria's accession "gents" became vulgar. Thackeray speaks of it in 1842 as an "affectionate diminutive at present much in use among commercial persona." Personal Briefs, Who They Are, What They Are and Where They Are.

Shocking Confession. Benedict is a New Haven man who has been eight times the father of a bouncing bounder. In the outskirts of the university city is a little town among the hills named Prospect, and last year four of the children were sent there for the summer. One day Benedict and his wife entertained at dinner a new acquaintance, Prof. B. The professor is a bachelor, and, like many scholarly men, rather ill at ease in society. "What a fine little family of children you have," he began with an admiring glance at the four stay-at-homes. "Yes, indeed," replied Benedict proudly, "and we have four more in Prospect." The professor blushed his astonishment.—Lippincott's. Doesn't Work Both Ways.

Then again, it may mean that he has not the qualifications for something better and is content to stay at laborious work.

Our Glorious Past. Continued from the first page. wanted to cut the world into two globes, or in half, you would have to go to Africa to perform the act. Is Africa, then, the least of all the continents, as some geographers and other writers and historians tell us it is? Are they honest and truthful?" A great country produces great men, therefore, Africa being a great country the men whom it has produced in ages past and must continue to produce in the ages to come, were and will be great men. Other races and nations will continue, as did the races of antiquity, to lay Africa under tribute to them, and they will continue to absorb and assimilate all that is best and most useful in African civilization, government, religion and science, and make them their own as they have done for centuries. Most of the philosophy of the white man's theology is borrowed from African mythology, viz.: "The Great White Throne," "the Golden Pavement," "the thunders of his wrath," "Behold the --- Lamb of God," "Our God is a consuming fire," "No man can look upon God and live, "A self-creating God," and numerous kindred quotations which might be made from the Scriptures, are all of them of African origin. The Masonic Symbolism which white men guard so sacredly is African, pure and simple. The African symbolic attribute of Jupiter-Ammon, Rameses I, which afterward personified Rameses II, was the Phoenix. This bird, like many ancient images, was allegorical or ideal. From this the white man gets his idea of a self-creating God, and looks wise when he has made the declaration as to the origin of God as though the illustration of the process was original with him. In Jupiter-Ammon was the beautiful and symbolic idea of the attributes of Diety—the Christian's God first developed. A little study of this African mythology will discover to any honest investigator just how much the "superior race," "the superman," does owe to the African. The white man is the greatest adopter in the world. He came into the world from God only knows where sans civilization, sans religion, sans written language. He claims to be a descendant of Japheth, but history does not show that the white man, that is, in Europe or any other part of the world, is the son or descendant of Japheth.

There is plenty of proof (Scriptural) as to the origin of the black race, and this may be found in the tenth chapter of Genesis—the Geneology of Ham. Fifteen verses are devoted to Ham and his descendants, and fifteen verses to Shem and Japeth combined. The proud "Caucasian, Anglo-Saxon, superman," or the white race, is not mentioned. Once, where was it, when the trees were being distributed, Shem was of olive complexion, Japeth was ruddy and Ham was sunburnt or black. Jeremiah thus speaks of the sons of Ham (xivi. 9): "Come up ye horse, and rage ye chariots, and let the mighty men come forth," (who?) "the Etheopians and Lybians that handle the shield and the Lydians that handle and bend the bow." The 2 Chronicles (xiv. 9) thus alludes to a great African general: "Zerah, the Etheopian, with an host of a thousand thousand and three hundred chariots." And Isa's slogan (xiii. 3) was: "Etheopia for thee!" The nerve of white men in attempting to write the Negro down and out, and to set themselves up as "supermen"—little gods in exile is really amusing when gazed at with both eyes. The Negro can trace his origin in an unbroken line back to Ham. The white man, as I have said, cannot tell where his race began. Tickness! Call up Murphy!

By far the best production that has appeared on the local stage was the "Juveniles in Vaudeville" at East Turner Hall, Wednesday night. For general interest as well as attention to detail it has set a standard. The first act went on in good time, there were no exasperating delays, and every number was an artistic gem. Leon Pyror, Willie Burns, Jennie Hicks and Pearl Jones were the four stars and put on two of the best acts that have appeared even on the professional stage. The costumes all the way through were elaborate and appropriate. Mrs. H. Jones was the designer. The chorus and performance was under the charge of Miss Arlena Burns. The salvos of applause which greeted each number must have been sweet music to her ears. Mrs. H. R. Hicks was business manager and the financial success is largely due to her efforts. Harris Orchestra played acceptable music for dancing after the performance. Already those who have heard of the treat and did not go are asking whether it will be repeated. The Juveniles are wonders.
