FRANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN Masons' Big Entertainment Dec. 27 EAST TURNER HALL Press Bureau Notes VOL. XVIII Press No Last Tuesday evening Mr. Richard T. Greener addressed Bethel Literary and Historical Association on the "Future of the Negro." Its gave, as he always does, a beautiful and encouraging picture of the future for the race. He advised the colored people to have less to say about B. R. Tillman, for all he wishes, the speaker stated, is notoriety. The address by Mr. Greener was rich in reminiscences and full of hope for the future, and was valuable to the young in that it gave them an insight into the past of which he was a part. Our regret in the matter is that he has never been fully rewarded for the service he has rendered his race and his country. We hope that he will not be further overlooked while offices are being dispensed. He deserves well of his race and his country. We are glad to see John Mitchell, Jr., and T. Thomas Fortune fighting so nobly at this time for the race. The fight they have made in behalf of the wronged colored troops challenges out admiration and disposes to overlook some of the derelictions of the past. The fight is now being made with all shoulders to the wheel. Even Booker T. Washington is speaking for the soldiers, after they have been dismissed "without honor," as he should have spoken when he had the opportunity to do so before. Yet he is to be commended for speaking at this time for an outraged number of the citizens of the rqepublic. The Howard-Shaw football game on Thursday of last week was one of the best ever seen on Howard Campus, and some of the players of both Masons' E DENVER, COLORADO, FRIDAY, DEC. 7, 1906. teams showed very high intelligence throughout. There was less of that brutality hitherto shown in the game and fewer casualties. Howard won and thus repaid Shaw for the defeat she suffered at her hands some time ago. It was a healthy sign in athletics for Howard University. The Washington Post of November 30, changing front somewhat, very frankly states that this government should say to Japan that she cannot interfere with California in the question as to the admission or rejection of Japanese children into their schools, and asks, significantly, "Are we afraid?" It then goes on to say: "It was not prohibited to a state to say that a Negro or a Jap should not attend schools with whites." Meaning by this latter statement that the Constitution of the United States does not prohibit a state from making such laws as it sees fit. But the Constitution of the United States provides that: The Constitution and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof, and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land, and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the constitution or laws of any state to the contrary notwithstanding. Japan maintains that the exclusion of her children from the schools in San Francisco is a violation of the treaty, the state laws being subject to the treaty, on the ground that the treaty is a law made in pursuance of the Constitution. This is undoubtedly the correct view. The Post, however, maintains, as we would expect, that the doctrine of States' Rights is the true doctrine, and warns the federal government to tell Japan plainly that she cannot force California to do anything to relieve the situation in San Francisco. Japan insists that she is right an dis willing to fight that her sons and daughters may not be denied that to which they are entitled under the Constitution of the United States. In the discussion of this question, the Negro problem has been linked with the Japanese problem. This is fortunate for the Negro. It will teach this country a lesson that it should have learned long ago, that the place to solve the problem is in the school and church by teaching mutual respect on the part of the children. Had this course been followed by the South and the nation, there would be no race problem in this country today, nor would there be any question to alarm the nation over the just attitude of militant Japan. The United States had better throw away her prejudice and hate for men of a different color and race. More and more it is evident that there is a world problem based on color. Dr. DuBois has well said that "The Color Line Belts the World," and the Japanese question is but an illustration of the proportions which this world tragedy is assuming. And all of this grows out of the arrogance engendered by the victories by the so-called Anglo-Saxon race. Growing for two thousand years, grasping, reaching out, daring, fighting, conquering, winning victory after victory, becoming more powerful as the decades and ages have rolled by, this race today stands defiant, challenging the darker races of the earth, which she spurns, ignoring the history of the ages. But the shadows of the evening hover over this proud, militant race. The yellow millions are rising, backed by a civilization as old as history and trained in all of the learning of the past, taking on with alarming quickness the modern civilization and spreading terror as they come to meet the darker races of America and Africa. The union of these darker races means the retrogression of this supercillious Anglo- (Continued on Editorial page) NO.22 POPULAR PASTOR RESIGNS CHARGE The resignation of Rev. J. E. Ford, who has served as pastor of Zion Baptist Church for the past seven years, came as the greatest possible surprise Sunday. There had been no intimation whatever of the intention of the pastor to take such a step, and he gave as his reason that the work which he took up had been carried out successfully and that he wanted to make a change of location. Ever since his pastorate here, Rev. Ford has been much sought after by churches of his denomination all over the country. A high sense of duty has kept him here for he appears to have felt that he could not leave the Church until certain definite objects had been accomplished. Now that unity and harmony, to say nothing of method and financial strength, have M. come to Zion, he can feel free to accept the advantages which might come to him in some other city. The Statesman has, from time to time, given extended notice of his efforts, and every week has recorded something which he was doing in his church work or in some public service and it will be a regret to lose him.

B. P. O. E. of W. marched down the streets of Denver last Sunday to and from the first memorial service of that order that has ever been held here. They were headed by our colored band and were drawn up in the ritualistic order. Their splendid appearance with their Prince Albert coats, silk hats, canes, no less than their manly appearance, created a E. L. SHAFFER sensation and made them the cynosure of all eyes. For once colored people were proud of the race, for a finer body of men could not have been gathered together. After such a splendid street appearance, it was even more satisfying to have the services in honor of the dead carried out with equal precision and solemnity. It was the prettiest and most satisfying service ever held by any order in the presence of the public. The memory of their dead was made green with tributes of love and affection, his life extolled and his example commended. Ernest Shafer, exalted ruler, was the only deceased member of Rice Lodge and was fittingly extolled. The program rendered was as follows: THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. 3.

Beautiful is an adjective applied chiefly to brides, heroines of novels and ladies in distress, says the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The word is derived from the French word "beaut," meaning a corker, a peach, a lallapaloosa. It is employed principally by society editors, novelists, newspaper reporters and poets, and holds its age and shape well in spite of constant activity and overwork. The only novelist who never used the word was Rhoda Broughton. Her heroine Belinda was green-eyed, freckled and cantankerous, and is the only unbeautiful heroine on record, just as the Count in Wilkie Collins' "The Woman in White" is the only fat villain. The only poet who has never used it is Swinburns. He always compares his heroines to serpents, they are so wise and sinuous. The society editor or newspaper reporter who has never worked it to a silvery edge does not live, contrary to the rules of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Inoffensive Adjectives. One of the deepest mysteries of modern life is, since every bride is beautiful, how does it come that there are so many ugly married women? ROBERT GRAY. President. SIT UP AND TAKE NOTICE!

The Logic of - the Situation Not fa question of “color but of law. Save this Roosevelt Wanted to Please White South—Law in the Case. a ee ee Doubtless the action of the Secre- tary of War, in undertaking to sus- pend the operation of an executive order, issued in his own name, though without his personal privity, is unpre- cedented in American history. So, for that matter, is the order which it as- sumes to suspend. The power of sum. marily dismissing an army or navy officer, a soldier or a sallor, has often been exercised. It has rarely been exercised, however, when the case was not so clear that the victim could not decently or plausibly protest. The dismissal “without honor” of a whole battalion of the United States army for an offense which only a small ml- nority of that battalion could have committed, or was charged with com- mitting, gave a shock to the general sense of justice. It seemed to be for- bidden by the express prohibition of the fifth amendment to the constitu tion, that “no person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law.” It was upon this ground that the Times, the morning after the president's edict of dismissal was issued, expressed the belief that Mr. Taft could not have been con. sulted about the order which was Is- sued in his name. There are three several aspects in which the president's order, thus brought into question by the secre. tary of war, can be viewed. 1, Asa question of law. Was “due process of law” observed in the dis missal of this battalion, and, if not. was there a dispensation in this case from that observance? The question whether the original amendments to the constitution, known among law- yers as the bill of rights, and avowed. ly intended as a restriction upon the federal authority, apply to the army and navy is a question which has been twice brought before the supreme court. In the first case, the Milliken case, so memorable on other grounds it was not directly in issue. The minority of the court, however, headed by Chief Justice Chase, laid down, as an obiter dictum, that none of the original amendments applied or was intended to apply to the military forces. In the second case, that of Captain Oberlin M. Carter, the ques tlon came up directly. While the case, on other points, was decided ad versely to the appellant, the court re served its decision on this point. But THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Se eS SE ease ue Ww rees jon sufficient appears to warrant the conclusion that the court would hold such of the original amendments ap- plicable to the army and navy as were put in conflict with the constitutional power granted to congress to provide for the government of the land and naval forces of the United States. It may therefore safely be concluded that the constitutional safeguard of “due process of law,” while it does not pro- tect agains summary dismissal from the military service, does | protect against the arbitrary action of the ex- ecutive in assuming to inflict upon a discharged soldier, thus become a civ- ilian, the punishment, without trial, of a disqualification for emplayment in the civil service, even during the term of the president who issues the order, and even more “forever,” or after the term of that president has expired. It seems, therefore, that the President has clearly exceeded his powers, 2. As a question of administration. It is greatly to be regretted that the president did not in this case allow the military procedure to take its usual course. That procedure might perfectly well have been initiated by himself. It would have been the con- vening of a court of inquiry in order judicially to ascertain the facts. Be- fore such a tribunal every member of the accused battalion could have been summoned, and could have shielded himself from testifying only by claim- ing his constitutional right to refuse to give testimony that might inerimi- nate him. Hod no other purpose been served by this orderly procedure, it would have permitted every innocent Suspect to give an account of himself and to show that he had no connec- tion with the disorder under investi- gation. The president would thus have been saved from the fnfliction of dis- grace upon the many innocent as well as upon the few guilty. He has pre- ferre to take final action in conform- ity with the ex parte report of his inspector general, who had at his command none of the means recog- nized by military any more than by the civil law as essential to judicial ascertainment of truth. 3. As a question of policy. The president’s order in this case was so unprecedented, so radical, and so sweeping, that it was a foregone con- clusion that men whose attention had been arrested by it should at once begin to look about for explanations. It is not good that American citizens TAKE THAT TRIP! For business or pleasure VIA THE MIDLAND. Kae City Ticket Office, et 2 1th & California Streets, ee C, H. Speers, G.P.A., Denver should be driven to make search for the motives of their president in his official acts. It is very bad. But in this case it was necessary and inevit- able. When a politician, such as we may without disrespect say that the president is, does an act which, on the face of it, is unjust and in the manner of it irregular, the beholders ‘are simply compelled to make a search for motives. It is not their fault if they conclude that the order dismiss- ing “without honor” a whole battalion of colored troops would not have been issued, the circumstances in all other respects being the same, against a battalion of white troops. It is the case itself which suggests that the president has concluded that the co!- ored vote is now negligible compared with the Southern white vote. It is evidently in vain to tell men of the African race that the presidents ac- tion is simply one of the products of his well-known impulsiveness, an that he would have done the same thing that he did do had the offending bat- talion been composed of whites. They will not believe it. They will continue to believe that the presidents “cruel and unusual” treatment of this black battalion is the president's roundabout and belated apology to the Southern whites for his entertainment in the White House of a distinguished man of color. That was the sentiment that actuated a meeting of colored preach- ers in New York this week. One of them said, very nobly, that it is not social “recognition” that they asked of the white man, but equity and jus- tice. and that the president had done them wrong in granting that and de. nying this. Even if this deep-rooted sentiment does the president an in justice, he cannot complain. He is himself responsible. The defiant mes sage which he has sent to the Repub: lican committee of this county by ne means takes the tone which it be hooves him in such a case to take It is clear that, in his haste to punish 4 comparatively few offenders by pun- ishing the whole body of which they form a minor part, he has evceeded his constitutional powers, outraged the opinion of the army at large, and shocked the popular sense of justice. It Is not an attitude of obstinacy and defiance which becomes any man in such a conjecture. q SERMON SERVED GOOD PURPOSE. _— ww wSTY OF TReclegy Made Horse Stop and Think. What was possibly the most coo- vincing sermon in the world was nev- er preached; it was devoted to an- other use. Archbishop Tait was driv- ing along a country road poring over the manuseript of bis sermon as he rode. His attention was attracted by & roar and a clatter behind and tura- ing round he saw a horse attached to @ huge lorrie careering down a hill at a gallop. The animal was beyond the control of its driver and was making straight for the back of the Gogcart in which the arehbishop was riding. The runaway drew rapidly nearer, but Tait waited calmly, aad, as it thundered up to the light trap, he selected the psychological moment. Then with all his force he flung the many-leaved vermon full in its face. The runaway stopped short to think it over and as he did eo his driver got bim in hand again and the situation was saved. “The poor beast had never had such a ‘blatter’ of theology be fore,” was the archbishop's commeet. Something to Be Gained. “Moses,” he said to the old colored man around the warehouse, “[ hear that you have a son in Chicago.” “Yes, sah, my son Peter has done gone to college, sah,” was the proud reply. | “Going to make a great man of tim, eh?” “I dunno how great Peter will done turn out, sab, but I reckon if he stays fm dat college long ‘nuff he'll come heme ané be able to tell a pullet from @ rooster tn de darkest night and not Bewa = ee : ree ee THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO, | Our Showing along Sa caib dis | =. det ! ‘458 Sraresman ie publishing free @ business and professional men’s guide.

We hope that his congregation may prevail upon him to remain. It is true that the internal workings of the Church have been brought to the highest perfection it has had for years, but there is still a community interest in the welfare of Zion Church that should not be neglected. It is our downtown Church. It is the beacon light of the Gaspel that sets fartherest out among the shoals of life. It is one of the pioneer institutions of the city. It is the leading Church of the denomination in the Rocky Mountain region. It would be a fitting monument to the great work that THE CHURCH Rev. Ford has done here in Denver if he would remain to see a magnificent architectural pile reared to the glory of God and the enlightenment of mankind. Considerations of personal benefit and choice might be foregone for such a purpose. From our knowledge of the sincerity of man, it seems clear to us that it rests more with the congregation than with him whether such a happy outcome will be brought about. It is for them to say whether Moses' arms shall be lifted up. It is for them to make such pledges for the greatness of their common cause as will compel him to go on. It is not our purpose to insinuate that they have been lax, but to urge them to the still greater heights of sacrifice and endeavor that are necessary for a "Greater Zion." 4-26 Proprietors.

When Richard Olney was secretary of state he frequently gave expression to the opinion that appointees to the consular service should speak the language of the countries to which they were respectively accredited. It is said that when a certain breezy and enterprising western politician who was desirous of serving the Cleveland administration in the capacity of consul at one of the Chinese ports presented his papers to Mr. Olney, the secretary remarked: "Are you aware, Mr. Blank, that I never recommend to the presideht the appointment of a consul unless he speaks the language of the country to which he desires to go? Now, I suppose, you do not speak Chinese?" Wherupon the westerner grinned broadly. "If, Mr. Secretary," said he, "you will ask me a question in Chinese I shall be happy to answer it." He got the appointment--New York Times. Adventurers' Rich Booty. When Drake sailed the South sea in the Golden Hind upon his piratical voyage of circumnavigation in the year 1577-'79, and when he captured the Nuestra Senora della Concepcion (surnamed the Cacafuego or Spitfire) off Cape San Francisco, it took three days to transfer the treasure from the captured ship to his own. In that single haul there was realized a "purchase," as it was called, of over twenty-six tons of silver, besides eighty pounds of virgin gold, thirteen chests of pieces of eight containing over a million in money, and an enormous amount of jewels and plate.—Harper's Magazine.

The children deserve much credit, Frank Jones being called at the last rehearsal to take the place of Clifford McAdams, who was called to the bedside of his sick mother. Frank is one of our real actors, anyway. Baby Booze, not caring much for such a funny costume. The Hall sisters deserve special mention. Also the quartette. The musical programme rendered between acts was good. Our Dr. Grant has a good voice and we love to hear Mrs. Butler sing. Miss Birdie Earl, a charming young lady, over whom Colorado Springs society is very enthusiastic, sung well. Mrs. Buckner's voice was never truer, clearer, purer or of more superb quality and Miss Lamb sung sweetly. Pleasure was also added by the unusually fine work of Miss Alexander, who was at the piano. From other viewpoints the entertainment was equally satisfying. The social lights were out and there was an unusual display of gladdest garments. When Mrs. Fannie Franklin issues dinner invitations regrets are unheard of. She was the hostess at an elegant dinner Sunday which brought forth the best silver plate and crystal. Carnations and geraniums adorned the dining room and the exclusive around the table were Pro. and Mrs. J. H. Jackson, Mrs. E. B. Butler, Mrs. S. Pennington and Mrs. Julia Emery.

GREAT ANNUAL SALE OF Silk and Dress Goods Hundreds of women in Denver and surrounding communities wait for our annual December udnerpricing of Dress Fabrics, and we have planned to make this the most notable in the history of this department.

Barnett, the Afro-American Assistant State's Attorney, who, according to the returns, was elected judge of the new municipal court at the recent election, has been unseated by the canvassing board. The election returns gave Barnett a plurality of 499, but the official count of the thirty-five wards of the city, which was completed today, shows that Thomas B. Lantry, Democrat, was elected by a plurality of 304 Barnett was the only Republican defeated for a city office at the election. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Miss Gertrude Butler is recovering from her illness. Rev. G. W. Tolson of Boulder was in Denver this week on business. The brilliancy of the lights in Denver churches has caught the eyes of their congregations. Gas lights that are cheap to maintain and satisfactory light are not common. On many the globes are usually in need of replacing, the mantles are short lived and the light consequently poor. But the large, round globes of the Willtom lights that illuminate the churches are a delight. Mr. Christensen of the Willtom Gas Light Company, at 524 Eighteenth street, will take a delight in showing his wares, will put on a light free of charge for demonstration and will give a guarantee that they will give service perfectly for five years.

Phone Black 1201. 11-14 ALL BUILT WITHOUT NAIL& Pecullar Construction of Dwelling Houses in Burma. In Burma a dwelling house is built without a nail. It is hung on four upright posts of teak or bamboo; seven or eight feet from the ground the planking of the floor is tied to the uprights with rattan; the walls are made of split bamboo plaited into beautiful and fanciful patterns. The roof consists of the leaves of the toddy palm which have been soaked in salt water to make them insect-proof. There are no windows, but large flaps of the plaited bamboo walls are raised in the daytime to admit light and air. The house consists, in the case of the poor, of only one good-sized room, but when there are several chambers they lead off from the common room and are separated from it by partitions of plaited bamboo. These are generally raised one or two feet from the floor of the common room, but in no case is one floor above the other in a Burmese house, it being thought a great indignity to have any one's feet over one's head. The thatched roofs are highly inflammable and leaning against every thatched house may be seen a long hooked stick with which to pull off the roof should it catch fire. BLOOD AS A FERTILIZER. Gave Renewed Life to Tree That Was Fast Dying. For several seasons a very ancient walnut, with long, gaunt boughs carrying much dead wood, had been struggling to live, but each year manifested signs that its life was fast disappearing. The keeper in front of whose house the tree stood took to slinging the carcass of each deer he killed over one of its boughs for dressing. During the process all the blood dripped on the ground and was absorbed. The following spring this tree put forth an astonishing crop of leaves, and in less than three seasons it was making new wood and showing all the vigor which had characterized it thirty years before. Its renewed youth was entirely attributable to the fertilizing properties of the blood with which it had been so liberally dressed. Country Gentleman. The image shows two side profiles of a person with a large, rounded head and a short, wavy haircut. The person's face is visible in both profiles, with the left profile showing the person's profile from the front and the right profile showing the person's profile from the side. The background is plain and white. C. A. Franklin has been indisposed this week. Mrs. A. N. Walker of Colorado Springs is in the city, the guest of Mrs. W. H. Walker. The verdict in the case of William Franklin of Park Hill, who was charged with assault with intent to kill, was that he was in some degree justified by the vile language which the assaulted conductor used toward Mrs. Franklin and that a sentence for assault to do bodily harm was sufficient. This will mean a jail sentence. It will be highly proper for the colored citizens to further carry out the verdict of the jury by asking his pardon from any sentence that may be given him. Lawyer Stuart was one of Franklin's attorneys. " Mrs. T. D. Perkins' treatment for growing and beautifying the hair is indeed wonderful. Those under her treatment are loud in their praise of her work. Because of the rapid increase in her Denver class she will not be able to give personal treatments out of Denver after Feb. 1, but will give treatment by mail anywhere in the West or South. She will not limit the class here in this city until she finds she cannot handle more, though she fears the time is not far off. Mrs. Perkins left the city this week to spend ten days in Colorado Springs with her class there. She will make only one more trip there, as Denver will take all her time, her class here numbering 85, and Colorado Springs having nearly 60. She has proved to the people that she is doing for others what she did for herself. Her own hair is her best advertisement, showing what she can do. You need not wonder if it is true, for she has the proof. Mrs. Perkins, being a Coloradoan and being well known all over the state, those who are trying her treatments have no fear as to the results. She is climbing step by step. She has already put in three years of hard work studying the treatment of the hair and scalp and she has yet two years of study and then she will --- By kindness of Dean Hart the Rev. G. H.

She has taken her entire course from a company of German hair specialists and is the only Negro woman that they have ever taught the art. Because of her aptness and earnestness to learn and her careful following of their instructions they will give her a three months' course in hair dressing free of charge. She has her choice of schools, either at New York city, Philadelphia or St. Catherines, Canada. This she will take up later on and her choice of place is New York city. Mrs. Perkins is very fond of her work and is much at home when talking on the subject of hair. It is surprising to find out how much she has learned of the hair. Her chart is a wonderful study. It shows a highly magnified suture of skin from a healthy scalp cut through in such a way as to show the hair follicle with the hair in place, also the oil and sweat glands. Mrs. Perkins will tell you the operation of the growth of the hair is to a degree mechanical and is similar to the growth of a finger nail and just as when the latter is detached the function continues and a new is produced, so with the former.

Mr. James Jones has been appointed district steward of the A. M. E. church, vice A. J. Young, removed by the pastor. The Thanksgiving dinner at the A. M. E. church was a decided success. The receipts for the day were $230.80. Great credit is due to Mrs. F. A. White, chairman of the committee, who solicited herself $172.50, besides selling more tickets than all others together. Mrs. S. E. Motley was an able assistant. Mr. Wyley Adams, a former resident of Leadville, arrived in the city last Monday. ALBUQUERQUE NEWS. James Long, who came here from Kansas City a short time ago, troubled with tuberculosis, died at his room on Copper avenue last Wednesday. His remains are at the undertaking parlors waiting for instructions from his brother, who resides in Kansas City. James Banner, one of our well known young men, is reported very sick this week. Thanksgiving day was duly observed by the citizens of our city. The business houses were closed during the entire afternoon. The A. M.

Whether it be before the President or a Congressional committee, the Constitutional League is resolved to appear with counsel and evidence to secure a reversal of a decision which has worked cruel injustice to good soldiers. President Roosevelt has said he will listen to any evidence brought to him that will show that he has erred, and remedy his mistake. The Constitutional League has secured enough evidence to convince any judge or jury in the land that the negro soldiers of the Twenty-fifth Infantry have been unjustly accused and illegally punished. Meantime, the men are being discharged and scattered, and apparently the verdict of the Texan grand jury is accepted as an endorsement of Garlington's wonderful report, as six of the twelve prisoners at Fort Sam Houston have been discharged with the same lack of honor accorded to their fellows in Fort Reno. The League will show the President: 1.That no soldier was connected with the Brownsville riot, and that no evidence exists to show such connection. 2.That the report of Gen. Garlington and his recommendation, as well as his conduct of the investigation, ought to be made the subject of a court of inquiry or court-martial. 3.That the whole affair appears to be a miserable outgrowth of the race hatred and mob violence of the people of Brownsville. 4.That in discharging and dishonoring these three companies of soldiers, the President has made a mistake, which every principle of honor and justice requires should be remedied. The League is still prosecuting its inquiries, and will examine the twenty-five men discharged this morning and take their affidavits. Not a single case of drunkenness or disorder has occurred among the hundred men so far discharged. The police officials L, D. Richey THE UNION TR Manufacture L, D. Richey, Proprietor.

THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. The rally at Scott M.

The governor preached a rare sermon, especially noted for its simple language and profound thoughts pregnant with spiritual wisdom and advice. "Our Father" was his text. Revs. Ford, Payne and Douglass rendered valuable assistance in helping in the collection. The church was filled by members of the different congregations. Rev. Cole was present with a representative body of his church. Therefore the board of trustees have taken this method of thanking the different pastors and their congregations for their liberal support rendered them Sunday and heretofore.

Secretary of War Taft is laying up for himself brick bats on earth by his continued abuse of the soldiers who have incurred the wrath of the President. In one breath he says that they are cut throats and murderers and in the next that they have not been punished by the President in having them discharged without honor from the army. He is certainly going to draw interest on his jaw and with a vengeance if he keeps in politics. A word of commendation is due Governor McDonald for the manner in which he has compelled the state of Mississippi and the arch-flend Vardaman to take on enough decency to guarantee a trial by law of the Negro whose extradition was asked that he might be tried there on the charge of murder. FROM PRESS BUREAU. Saxon race. Powerful as this race is, it cannot hope to hold the sceptre of power by force. Hitherto, the genius of this race has won her victories, and the awakening and show of genius by the darker races portends the evening for this self-aggrandizing Hercules. Threats were idle and a firebrand is insane, but the question is ever before us and its solution and righting with the Anglo-Saxon race must be by a show of arms. Where an Anglo-Saxon has interests, for them he will fight and fight to the death. There is one escape from this tragedy. Let the men of earth understand that the Golden Rule is the standard by which we should live. God is our common Father and ALL MEN are our BROTHERS. Follow this rule and the victory will be ours, the ages will roll on and the future men of earth will call us blessed and usher in the reign of peace and justice; then there will be the true realization of the highest earthly trinity—Liberty, Fraternity, Equality. Dr. William E. Chancellor went South, and we assume that he is studying conditions there and will return to apply the fruits of his investigation in the District of Columbia. It is hope he will find time to visit Atlanta University and meet Dr. W. E. B. DuBois and get an intelligent statement of the needs of the Negro of the South. Of one thing we are confident—Dr. DuBois will give this man to understand that the conditions in the South are not the same as the conditions here, and show him there is at least one teacher in the South, if he think he has none in his corps in Washington. --- THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. MS. $1.00 Three months.....50 colorado, as second class mailmatter. The discussion of the discharge of the batallion of the 25th Infantry is as prominent as ever. Congress is soon to assemble and the matter will undoubtedly be raised there. In the opinion of some of the men in high places, no relief can be given the soldiers by Congress. This phase of the matter will be discussed by Senator Joseph Benson Foraker of Ohio. The country will anxiously await his views on the matter, as he recognizes the importance of a soldier as well as the law of the land. It seems that Congress has power to remove the stain from innocent men and we believe it will do so. In this fight for justice for black troops, Senator Elkins of West Virginia will stand by the colored people, as he stood by them on the repeal of the Warner amendment which would have made a national jim-crow car law. He was a union soldier and is a lawyer and a statesman; he will do justice to men who like himself know what it means to wear the uniform of blue. COLORADO SPRINGS NEWS.
