VOL. XVIII MUST FAC THE S The Negro to Face a Condition Move a Brilliant Colored Writer the Brownsville Special to The Statesman. Yonkers, N. Y., Nov. 19, 1906. Recent happenings in this country seem to indicate that the Negro is facing, or is about to, a condition, the like of which we have never faced before. The attitude of the president in the matter of the dishonorable discharge of that Negro battalion is a case in point, the significance of which cannot be misunderstood by those who see with clear vision, or who think deeply on these racial questions. How are we to account for the president's sudden change of front in these circumstances. For his harsh, nay merciless punishment of the guilty and inocent alike for refusing to betray their comrades? It is one of the mysteries which time alone will solve. The soldier who would betray his comrade would betray his country, and such a man is unfit to be a soldier. Why was not the secret service of this great government employed to ferret out the real culprits in that colored company and bring them to justice? The government employs the best detectives in the world. Why should the innocent black soldiers in that battalion be called upon to play the role of spies and informers on their comrades Why The case is without a parallel in all military history. And the novelty of it is, what is producing the loud protests from white and black alike, who see in the president's action what to them seems to be a desire to ap- DENVER, COLORADO, FRIDAY, NOV. 30. 1906 pease the malignant and damnable spirit of race prejudice which is sweeping through the South and through the country at a pace which will soon, if not checked, make every Negro in the land a marked man. There are a great many people in this country who accept the dicta of the president because he is president, as the law of the land, who believe that he can do no wrong, that his judgment cannot err, and here is where the president's action is going to hurt us all who are not of his race. There is small doubt but that he has acted hastily; that at the time of the fatal order was issued depriving these men of all the benefits of soldiers of the republic for which they had given the best years of their lives, there was a woeful lack of Solomonic wisdom in the executive chamber at Washington. And what will be the ultimate effect of this order upon both white men and black? Ppon the former those particularly who like Col. Pitcher care little for Negroes—and they seem to be in the majority. It will strengthen their prejudices toward Negroes and lead them to resort to all kinds of schemes to put the Negro out of the army and the navy and to keep up an interminable agitation against the employment of Negroes in any branch of the federal service. The president has assisted them to put the thin edge on the wedge under us, has petrified their contention that the "nigger" isn't as good as a white man and should State Historian Natural History Society TATESI ADO, FRIDAY, NOV. 30. 1906. not be treated with the same consideration as white men under similar circumstances. It is extremely problematical whether any president would have taken the course which President Roosevelt has taken, with white troops under similar charges. None would have cared to brave the storm of protest which such a drastic order would have produced. But the Negro is the under dog in this country. The few champions we have among the white race have not sufficient influence with the powers that be to vindicate us in a crisis such as now confronts us. Beyond a few editorials and magazine article and letters from correspondents in the daily press there will be no other utterances worth listening to or heeding. The matter will soon be forgotten, even by Negroes themselves, and the general verdict will be that the president was justified in the course which he has pursued toward these black men. Those who saved the day for Col. Roosevelt at El Carney are flesh of our flesh and bone of our bone. The effect of this action on the Negroes, both in and out of the army, will be to dampen their ardor, to lessen their interest in a country which can supinely submit to the humiliation of its black defenders for refusing to turn traitors to their comrades in the army. To black men in civil life the effect of the president's action will be to keep them out of the army and the navy and induce them to seek another clime rather than fight for its flag in time of war. This is hardly the way to make patriots of Negro men who have been in the imminent deadly breach when the fate of the nation hung in the balances, and whose great heroism and gallantry on every battlefield of this republic, from Bunker Hill to San Juan hill, are proofs of their right to claim more just treatment at the hands of a chief magistrate who has himself, in these words, acknowledged in a letter to the writer: "The Ninth and Tenth cavalry fought one on either side of mine at Santiago, and I wish no better men beside me in battle than these colored troops showed themselves to be. 7110 MAN NO. 21 Later, when I come to write of the campaign, I shall have much to say about them." I believe the man who wrote this letter has acted more upon the impulse of the moment than from any settled conviction that all these men whom he has ordered dishonorably discharged from the army are guilty, and that he will, ultimately, when all the facts are known, rescind the order and restore them to their duties in the army. I may be mistaken in this, but I hope not. The United States, more than any of the effete governments of Europe, needs friends at home as well as abroad. Those in power may not think so now—the friendship of the loyal Negroes of this country who, as Lincoln, who saw with clear vision, said, would some day help to keep the jewel of Liberty in the diadem of the nation." They did, and they may yet again be called upon in some "grim revel" to help to save this nation from enemies within and without. The Negroes are more American in feeling and sympathy than the foreigners who come here and swear allegiance to the flag, make their piles and return to Europe to live like Nabobs. We are indigenous to the soil, and for a ling time have thought that we were entitled to the square deal promised when Mr. Roosevelt entered the pilot house. I want to believe that he will redeem that pledge, and I am going to wait for the denouement in this Brownsville affair for I believe that the president has been not only badly advised, but purposely misled by the officer in command (Garlington) of these Negro troopers, who is a Southern man, a South Carolinan, who took a command in the federal army and of a Negro company, not from choice, but from a desire to get into the service in the hope of later securing a promotion to another command, and this he did on the recommendation and advice of the late Jefferson Davis, who was a personal friend of his father's, who asked his advice for the benefit of his son, then a cadet at West Point. General Garlington has accomplished all that Jefferson Davis ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` NO.21 Continued on page four. City News H. Jacobs is now in Bisbee, Arizona. Miss Hattie B.

In a personal letter to the editor, among other things, he writes: The president has been here on the Isthmus for two days, and it has been raining day and night and most of the time very hard. He has been here in this camp most all day, and I wish you could have seen him plunging in the mud and water, and he seemed to enjoy it so much. This canal work is something wonderful, and the work is going on fine and will be better when the rain is over. That will be some time in December. Then we will not have any more rain until in May, sometime. Some men killed a snake a few days ago just about two blocks from the road I go down every night, and most of the time very late.

BELIEVE IN MASCOTS BELIEVE IN MASCOTS PUBLIC CELEBRITIES WHO CARRY TALISMANS. Paderewski, Famous Pianist. Treasures Ring Worn by His Dead Wife Mrs. Langtry Carries Gem She Found in Venetian Lake. Among men and women who have won name and fame in professional life quite a number are to be found who believe in the supernatural power of some curious talisman which they possess. Sarasate, the famous Spanish violinist, for instance, would not dream of playing at a concert unless he carried somewhere about his person a tiny replica in silver of the famous Guarnerius violin on which Paganini used to play. Paderewski, the famous pianist, also possesses a mascot which is always with him in the shape of a ring once worn by his first wife. Most people are doubtless aware of the sad story of Paderewski's first marriage, how his wife died in giving birth to a son just as the pianist was on the threshold of success, and how the world would probably never have heard of him had not the necessity of providing for his son compelled the musician to continue his professional career. Paderewski does not wear the ring on his finger. It rests in a tiny pocket inside his waistcoat and is attached to a fine gold chain which encircles the pianist's neck. From the musical profession to the race course is rather a far cry, but it may not be out of place to mention here the curious luck-bringer carried by Sam Loates, the famous jockey. It consists of an ordinary smoked pearl button, without which he never rides a race. This pearl button saved the life of Mr. Loates when he was a child by catching in the upholstery of a railway carriage door which had not been properly fastened, and thus preventing him rolling on to the line. Since then the jockey has come to believe that the button has an influence for good over all his fortunes. Quite a number of our leading actresses firmly believe that their success in a piece depends to a certain extent on peculiar mascots which they invariably carry. Miss Violet Vanbrugh always wears a long chain of uncut turquoises on the stage, while Mrs. Langtry never feels comfortable unless she carries a turquoise on which a Persian love letter is engraved. Mrs. Langtry, it is said, fished up this peculiar mascot while diving in the Lido at Venice.—London Tit-Bits. Pearls as Birthday Presents. The fashion of presenting a pearl to mark the occasion of each birthday anniversary is a pretty idea in addition to being a sensible investment. From childhood the three daughters of the king and queen have each birthday received a single beautiful pearl from their parents. This idea has been followed by numbers of society mothers well endowed with this world's goods. There are many people from royalty downward who possess magnificent strings of pearls. Queen Alexandra, for instance, who inherited from the late Queen Anne some of the most beautiful pear-shaped pearls in existence. The new Duchess of Norfolk has also by her marriage become the possessor of very lovely strings of pearls. HE BOUGHT THE NECKLACE. But Not for the Adornment of His Loving Wife. Henry Clews, the banker, talked at a banquet about the danger of deceit. "A New York woman" he said, "saw in a shop window on Fifth avenue a collar of pearls that she liked. She stopped her carriage and sought out the shopkeeper. "What is the price,' she said, 'of that pearl collar in your window?" "Six thousand dollars, ma'am,' said the shopkeeper, as he drew forth the collar, and displayed its beauties to the dazzled woman. "She took out her checkbook. "I'll tell you what I'll do,' she said, 'I'll give you my check for three thousand dollars, and I'll send my husband to see the collar this afternoon. Don't tell him it is six thousand; tell him it is three thousand. Then may be he will buy it for me.' "The jeweler bowed and smiled. He had seen this sort of game played many a time before. "I wish you luck, madam," he said and the lady departed. "Her husband she found in his office in a mood unusually tractable. He had sold certain stocks at a great profit that morning. He consented readily, therefore, to go and look at the necklace. "That evening his wife dressed for dinner with unusual care. She wore her most beautiful gown. She dreamed, as she dressed, of an affectionate husband, clasping about her white throat a collar of pearls. "And 'I bought that pearl collar,' were the man's first words when he got home. " 'You dear!' she exclaimed. 'Let me see it.' " 'Can't,' he said. 'I had it sent to my mother. You know it is her birthday to-morrow.'"—San Antonio Express. HAD WAITED TOO LONG. Dish Towels Were No Longer Needed by the Bachelor. He had been keeping bachelor hall under the supervision of his favorite girl cousin, and once a week she came to dine with him and observe his progress. Incidentally she constituted herself a bureau of supply and saw that he was supplied with everything needful—except dish towels. Somehow, no matter how elaborate her shopping plans, she could not remember the towels and for a while he was reduced to using an old sheet. Then came a day when he rose in revolt and decided that he would keep house no longer. So far as the cooking was concerned he kept his word, and the cousin was invited to dine at a restaurant instead. The first evening the new order went into practice the cousin turned up, her face aglow. "I just know that you can't tell what I have in that bundle," she said, "and I sha'n't tell you till we get home." The bachelor guessed in vain and at last the feminine inability to keep a secret triumphed over the desire to save up the surprise. "I've just got to tell you that I have those towels at last," she explained, triumphantly, as she watched for the pleased smiles she felt to be her due. She guessed the truth from his face. "And I got them just as you no longer have any dishes to dry," she wailed.—New York Sun J. W. Jackson Manager.

TRINIDAD. COLO. November 26. 1906. Dear Editor: Allow me a small space in your wonderful paper. "Hurrah for the enthusiasm of the colored race!" I, myself, after reading of this trouble, felt that some action should be taken. I felt as if the one whom we thought was our friend and leader was neither. Although I am nothing more than a High school student, I am anxious to congratulate the colored people at our capital in the actions they have THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORAD taken in the previous trouble caused by President Roosevelt dismissing those colored troops. I heartily approve of the action taken by the colored people at the capital. I am glad that they will not pass such actions by as mere trifles, but will show the whites and the president, more especially, that we all disapprove of any such actions and will see that the black man will have some share in justice, and especially that part which he demands.

RESOLUTIONS, How blest the righteous when he dies, When sinks a weary soul to rest! How mildly beam the closing eyes, How gently heaves the breast. Whereas, These words ring in our ears when we think of the call to a higher and purer realm of our friend and classmate, William James Lether- man; and, Whereas, His sudden demise has cast a gloom over the Sunday School and caused the most profound sorrow and unfeigned grief. Therefore, be it Resolved, That we deeply sympa- thize with the bereaved family and feel deeply their great loss, and that we commend them to the love and solace of Him who came to bind up the broken-hearted and comfort the mourner, Resolved, That we send a copy of these resolutions of our high appre- ciation of such a co-worker to the bereaved family and that a copy be spread on the minutes of the Sunday School and that a copy be sent to the weekly papers.

Authorities Differ on the Subject But Its Manufacture in India Is Legalized and Carried on Under Supervision of the British Govern: ment. Few people have any idea of the vast areas given over wholly to the cultivation of opium. The consump: tion and the manufacture of this drug, far from being on the decline, are on the increase to an almost incred ble extent. The greed for gold is far more predominant in the haman makeup than is the philanthropic spirit which seeks to elevate man kind, though its purse may suffer ir so doing. England reaps more bevefit from the cultivation of opium than <1 other nations put together. In the district of Bengal alone there are nearly 1,000,000 acres de voted exclusively to the -cultivation of the poppy. Its cultivation is legal- ized and in every way encouraged by the British government, which has an absolute monopoly of this industry in India. The two principal districts are presided over by and under the direct control of English officials re- siding at Patna and Ghazipur. The eld of about 500,000 acres and that of Benares is a close second with 473, 500 acres. There is a fierce dispute going on just now as to the relative merits or demerits of opium Many eminent men in the scientific world openly declare that opium is a blessing The government experts in the country where it grows go so far as to say that opium is a blessing instead of being a curse to the natives. How- ever, the vast majority of mankind will long be of the undivided opinion ‘hat opium is the most all-erushing nize that aMicts man. The enthusi asta, ar rather, extremists, of the ‘nternational Antlopium soetety ple ‘ure the condition of India under the yan of opium in the most dreadful nanner possible. According to one f these men, all of the 600,000,000 f human beings in Asia are evposed © the evils of the oninm trade as salized by the British government. Scientific American. IN THE LITTLE WHITE 30x. Fear of Little Understood Terror Too Much for Boy. One day when the tailor’s wife and her little boy went out for a walk they @aw that an undertaker had moved into the shop next door The boy stopped and looked at the coffin in the window. “What is that, mother?” he asked He was a very little boy and had never seen a coMn. His mother tried te tell him. His eyes grew big with wonder and fear. “Will they put me in the white box, mother?” he asked. “Not if you are good,” said his mother. “Only bad boys go into the little white box.” After that the tailor’s boy tried to be very good.

A prominent educator in Philadelphia tells the following story on himself: In his early teaching days he had a position in a country school house in New England. The people in the neighborhood worked out their taxes by giving him board, and when there was no vacancy in the farm houses, he took a small room, while the neighbors supplied him with food. One day a young boy came running breathlessly toward him: "Say, teacher," he gasped, "my pa wants to know if you like pork?" "Indeed I do like pork," the teacher replied, concluding that the very stingy father of this boy had determined to donate some pork to him. "You tell your father that if there is anything in this world that I do like it is pork." Some time transpired, and there was no pork forthcoming. One day he met the boy alone in the school yard. "Look here, John," he said, "how about that pork?" "Oh," replied the boy, "the pig got well." Their Heads Alike. Justice John Proctor Clarke of the Supreme Court was holding court a few afternoons ago in one of the badly ventilated rooms of the County Court House. Before him was a lawyer whose head was almost as devoid of hair as that of the Justice himself—and the latter comes pretty near to holding the record in that way. "Your honor," said the lawyer, "I must request that the window over on the other side of the room be closed more tightly. I feel the draught on my head." "The court symphasizes with you perfectly," said the justice. The court has the same kind of a head."—New York Times. The Misanthrope. He neither joys nor grieves, But cavils and mistrusts; His hopes are like the wizened leaves, Swirled down the autumn gusts. He looks askance at Life. If so be Mirth lukk near; He has ill-humored Doubt to wife, And is the slave of Sneer. He makes a mock of Love. And all that on her walt; Yet, howso'er desires may move, He cannot rise to Hate.

Peace and Prosperity Wonders grow apace. The furious onslaught of colored citizens of Chicago on Senator Tillman to prevent him from delivering his usual tirade on the race question, in his lecture there this week, was backed up by the moral support of many white citizens. Coming so soon after another signal victory for us in our influence over public opinion in the Roosevelt incident, we are inclined to plume ourselves on our growing strength. A definite end to be accomplished in both incidents has served to coalesce our individual strength until we have been felt. This makes very apparent our possibilities if we would only have some systematic method of accomplishing this same result and not be drawn together by emergencies from time to time. The Niagara movement, which has taken such a prominent part in the present crisis, is a worthy attempt at union among us that will be lasting and efficient at all times. It may fail. If it does it will not be because it is not well planned, nor capable of doing the work we have to do, nor because it is a personal boosting affair, but because the race does not receive it and give it their assistance in money and effort. There are a great many well-meaning race people in this western country. The past records some notable things that they have accomplished. But, in every case, there has been valuable opportunity lost because of lack of preparation. The meeting to protest against the action of the president, held last week, was easily gotten up because of the organization behind it. In the same way a national movement needs country-wide organization. Let us accept the wisdom of our age and organize. Let us meet our restrictions not with the puny strength of individuals, but with all the power of the race united. The race has as its sole elective officer in the public service in this state our good friend from the wa- THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO.

We wish him good luck and, better still, good fat fees. By the way, did you ever stop to think that this has been a good year for melons? Chancellor Buchtel and his dissertation on the cantaloupe was another with a mascot. It is with some regret that we make public the fact that the use of some names in the advertisement of the Popular ball to be given by the Progressive Checker club, in our issue of last week, was without the authority of the persons in question. The management of this paper accepted the advertisement in good faith as it was given and regrets that it has unwillingly been the occasion of the mistake. The persons who have withdrawn their names from use are Miss Maud Carey, Miss Leona Troutman, Miss Arlena Burns and Miss Blanche Morrison. It is better to be born lucky than rich, and better to deserve success than to attain it. The Elks of Denver have the happy distinction of having all these kindly stars shining in conjunction for them and their entertainments go off with an eclat that is unusual in even this center of first-class attractions. A monster crowd attended the mask Thanksgiving entertainment at East Turner hall. The arrangements that were made by the committee, with J. F. Clark in charge, made everybody happy. The music, by the Harris orchestra, was so enthralling in its charm that the indifferent were caught up in the spell and capered like the ardent dancers. It was a good time and a financial success.

English City's Tramway System. The tramway system of Hull, England, is owned and operated by the city. The cars are double-deckers and the fare is 1d. (two cents) on all lines and for all distances. The financial results of this low-fare system are equally interesting. During the latest twelve months reported on there were ten miles of double track, or twenty miles of single track, in operation. The gross income is about $445,000; the cost of operation was about $233.000. This left a gross profit of $212.000, and, deducting interest on the investment and the sinking sum, a net profit of $122,000, or an average of over $12,000 a mile of double track, which went into the city treasury. John Hay No Faddist. "The late John Hay," said a Chicagoan, "had no belief in fads. He held that we Americans, in our impetuosity, were given to fads overmuch. It was this one trait in us alone that would ever suffice to shake Mr. Hay out of his exquisite equanimity. "He was walking with me one day in London. At Hyde Park corner a vegetarian from Frisco joined us, and, as we strolled onward, this vegetarian talked hotly about the evils of meat-eating, trying, it seemed, to convert Mr. Hay and me to his fad. "Mr. Hay listened patiently for quite half an hour. Then suddenly, he stopped short. He thumped the pavement with his walking stick. He pointed eastward. "There,' he said, 'stands Piccadilly.

A little touch of noble life, like this described by the New York Commercial, ought to have a wide influence: "A story is told by Robert Ogden, about a friend of his, not long dead, who held securities in a certain railroad. Being told, and from a source to leave no doubts, that the road was about to collapse, he refused to sell, not wishing to shift the loss upon a purchaser. He had no large amount of money, but he was rich in something better. With all the venal trickery that is being exposed, it is refreshing to believe that men like this exist in America in larger numbers to-day than they did five, a dozen or twenty years ago."
