Circulation 1600----Guaranteed three times that of any competitor Press Bureau Notes VOL. XVIII Press No Senator Lodge of Massachusetts has introduced a resolution in the senate to order an inquiry into the Belgian equities in the Congo Free State of Africa. It would be a much wiser thing to first set our own house in order before meddling with the affairs of other nations who are quite capable of attending to their own business. We are always glad to see cruelties stopped anywhere in the world, but we deplore hypocrisy such as is shown by the Lodge resolution. We have enough to do if we bring justice to our Congolites of the South, who are subjected to barbarities far worse than those inflicted by Belgium upon the natives of Congo Free State, Africa. The public schools of the District of Columbia, as we predicted, have become the subject of a searching inquiry by Congress. The committee which drafted the bill of last June assert that both the spirit and letter of the law has been violated by the board of education which was appointed pursuant to the act. It now looks as though the present board of education will be abolished and a board of school commissioners appointed. The opinion also prevails that Mr. F. L. Cardozo will be reinstated and go on with his work as before. We have stood with Mr. Cardozo from the first, and we believe that what we have said and done in this behalf will be rewarded. All of this trouble reminds us that the old board of education, which preceded the one threatened with abolishment, while it had its faults, was perfect by comparison. We long for the coming of the day when ward politicians will be eliminated. DENVER, COLORADO, FRIDAY, DEC. 21, 1906. There is a work going on in Washington about which little has been said and less written. It is going on in the name of Charity; it is a Social Settlement. It is operating under the spirit and genius of Mrs. Fernandez, and is slowly, but surely, reachin gout in the neighborhood, touching here and there a human soul, sometimes sunken deep in the throes of depravity, lifting it into the light and starting it on the way to better things. It has adopted the club or group system; the boys being given such things as will greatly appeal to boys, and the girls having assigned to them the line of work which will operate for their good. The effect of this is to keep the boys employed; thus out of the saloons; the girls busy; thus out of the cheap dance halls. Once having engaged their attention in this way, they are given a course in the elements of industrial training, and through this inspiration to overcome the environment which is so dwarfing and depressing. The wonderful element in the work is the personality and influence of Mrs. Fernandez. Gradually she is interesting friends and humanitarians, and gradually the work is growing to a broader scope of usefulness. The Constitution League seems to have made out a good cause in behalf of the soldiers of the 25th infantry. It strikes out for the truth and comes armed and well prepared for the defense of men which have, in its judgment, been wronged and given severe and unmerited punishment. We hope for the best; that the cruel wrong may be righted. Secretary of State Root has given a very pronounced utterance on gov- State Historian State ural History Society TATESM ADO, FRIDAY, DEC. 21, 1906. ernment centralization. It has created more discussion than any deliverance ever uttered by him. All of the southern states, except Texas, have risen en masse to oppose the Root idea, while the North and West endorse his idea. And it would seem that, as usual, the North and West are right. Texas joined this chorus in behalf of the Root idea for the reason that in a great centralized movement, being the most powerful of the southern states, she would have and wield a greater influence in the councils of the nation than the rest of the group with which she stands on nearly all of the questions which arise. This is the only issue upon which the South, always so solid, would split. Hamilton in 1896 and Root in 1906, what a great pair they make standing for the potentiality of the federal government, smashing the tyranny which flourishes under the mistaken theory of states' rights. The Outlook of last week contained an article by Booker T. Washington upon Atlanta, Ga., and the relation of the races there since the massacre of a short time ago. He states that there has been organized a Civic League; that this league, industrial education and the work of the ministers will finally bring order out of chaos. It will be recalled that this is a very decided change in the attitude of Mr. Washington on the Negro Minister. Ten years ago he made a statement to the effect that nearly half the Negro ministers were unfit to preach. They are no better today than they were ten years ago. He needs them now; then he did not. It was his pernicious purpose then to divert the money from the theological schools to Tuskegee; his purpose now is to try and retain his hold upon his race. But he has been false to principle and has lost the battle—lost because he is false to the truth of republicanism and true democracy. On last Tuesday evening Mr. A. H. Grimke delivered an address before Bethel Literary and Historical Association on "Equality the Nation's Best Medicine." He spoke as the Grimke of old. He remembered the wrongs done him and his and struck the fendishness of the South. chas --- NO.23 tised the North harshly, bitterly, scathingly and presented the aim of the founders of this republic with equality as its creed and life. One was reminded, as he heard Mr. Grimke, of the darkness which hovers over us, of the future, now so depressing, of the day when simple justice will guide American statesmen, direct the American press and shape the American conscience in accordance with the principles of truth. France is again in the throes of revolution; for the present it is bloodless, but the future may hold a bloody upheaval, more damaging than the uprising that swept Louis the 14th from power and made France a sea of blood. How impotent, how savage, how inhuman and how grasping is man. And this proud Latin race, the race that gave Napoleon to the world, would stop its upward march of progress to separate the Church and State, which would never have been united. It is revolution; it may be blood and dissolution. Mankind seems to have lost the way of the Lowly Nazarine, whose admonition to the world was one of peace. And in his life he recognized the sacredness of the laws of church and state. It would be well for France, whose glory we would wish to see shine on undimmed, profit by this life. CHILDREN'S DAY.

Asks President For Information The Senate Asks Secretary of War to tell Them the Facts About the Brownsville Affair The following is the text of the famous Foraker resolution which will mean much toward righting the wrong done the race by the president's arbitrary order concerning the Negro troops of the 25th regiment: "Resolved, That the secretary of war be, and he is hereby, directed to furnish the senate copies of all official letters, telegrams, records, orders, etc., filed in the war department in connection with the recent discharge of the enlisted men of Companies B, C and D. Twenty-fifth United States Infantry, together with a complete list of the men discharged, showing the record of each, the amount of retained pay (under section 1281, Revised Statutes), if any, to the credit of each man at the time of his discharge; the ruling of the war department, if any has been made in this or any other similar case, as to the effect upon his right to huch retained pay and also the ruling of the war department, if any has been made in this or any similar case, as to the effect of such discharge upon the right of an enlisted man to retire on three-fourths pay, with an allowance for subsistence and clothing (under section 1260 of the Revised Statutes), and his right to enter a national soldiers' home (under section 4821); his right to be buried in a national cemetery (under section 4878); and his right to receive transportation and subsistence from place of discharge to his home, as provided for in section 1290; also, a complete history of the Twenty-fifth Regiment from the time of its muster-in to the date of the discharge of Companies B, C and D."—Unanimously adopted by the United States Senate, Thursday, December 6, 1906. THOSE NEGRO TROOPS The Journal is a sincere admirer of President Roosevelt, and takes pride in being reckoned among his most earnest friends and most loyal supporters, but we are forced to differ with him in regard to the course he has pursued in the matter of the No THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. gro troops at Brownsville. We think he acted hastily, and we believe if he had given the matter proper consideration he would have pursued a different course. In the first place, the real responsibility for the trouble at Brownsville, and other disturbances of the same sort which have occurred several times in recent years, does not rest with the troops, but with the officer of the war department, who ever he may be, who sends Negro troops to man posts in the South. Of course, we all know it is wrong for the people of the South to cling to their foolish prejudices against a black man in the federal uniform, but equally, of course, we all know they do, and knowing this, if we deliberately aggravate and exasperate that prejudice of the southern people by sending among them the only class of troops who are unwelcome and objectionable to them, the responsibility for the consequence actually rests upon us. When we know that a red flag will irritate a bull, if we flaunt the red before him we expect to take the consequences, and just so it should be in this case. If there were any necessity for such a course on the part of the government, the case would be different. But there is no necessity for it, nor even the shadow of necessity. There are about sixty regiments in the army, on a peace footing, and of these only four are composed of colored men. More than three-fourths of all the troops are maintained at posts and garrisons in the east, north and west, and less than one-fourth required in the south are selected from the few colored regiments. Their presence there is a constant source of irritation and offense to certain classes of the people, who naturally do many things to make the troops uncomfortable, and to stir up trouble with them. Indeed, it would be extremely difficult for the best white soldiers to get along amicably with a people as strongly prejudiced against them as many of the southern people are against the blacks. We may argue that this prejudice is senseless, and without foundation, but it exists, and the government has to deal with things as they are and not as they ought to be. Experience on several occasions, has made it plain to us that this prejudice has produced a condition of things, or a state of mind, among certain classes of the TAKE THAT TRIP!

PERKINS ..SCIENTIFIC SCALP SPECIALIST. ```markdown ``` southern people, which renders trouble such as that which recently occurred at Brownsville, so probable as to be fairly regarded as inevitable, and if in the face of such conditions the government persists in sending colored troops to southern posts, when there are hundreds of other posts where they would be just as acceptable to the citizens as white troops, then the government itself should take the responsibility for the consequences. And then, the reason assigned for the punishment of the innocent along with the guilty was that those who knew who the guilty parties were would not tell. This may be regarded in Washington as a very serious offense, but men who have had experience in the field know that to "peach" on a comrade under such circumstances would be regarded as despicably mean and unsoldier-like. Indeed, during our great war, which ended a little over forty years ago, the one and only unpardonable sin on the part of a soldier, was to "go back on the mess," and the administration will find that the men who saw service during those days that tried men's souls will stand up for the black boys who refuse to tell. — Albuquerque Morning Journal.

Call at this office. If the plaint of one commercial traveler holds good throughout the ranks of the drummers hotel keepers will have a good deal to answer for in the matter of religious backsliding. Because of their negligence men on the road have almost ceased reading the Bible. Possibly the Bible societies are equally culpable, but it is easier to put the blame on the hotel managers, so they are the ones the drummers are fussing at. "There was a time," said the commercial traveler in question, "when I read two or three verses or, if I felt like it, two or three chapters in the Bible almost every evening. Now I don't read a line. Possibly I was no more religious than I am now, but the Bible was handler. Usually it was the first thing that struck my eye upon entering the room. The place assigned it by chambermaids was prominent. It lay on the bureau, directly in front of the looking glass, and I couldn't miss it if I wanted to. Besides, the bellboy was always on hand to give me a shove into the path of duty. "Here's a Bible,' he volunteered sweetly, 'in case you get lonesome and want to read awhile before you go to bed.' "And generally I took his advice and read. Knocking about, as I was then, from town to town, I made but few acquaintances at my different stopping places, and after looking over the evening papers and swapping a few yarns with the fellows in the hotel, I found it a downright relief to wind up the evening by reading a chapter in the Bible. I got so I knew a whole lot about the book in those days. I could really carry on an argument without getting into hot water. There were certain parts of it, especially Ecclesiastes and Paul's letters, that I could rattle off by heart, and I knew a lot of other fellows who were equally well up in the Scriptures. "I seldom find Bibles in the hotels nowadays. I am sorry to see them go, too. I don't know why they have been eliminated from hotel economy. Possibly the managers are responsible for the backsliding, but in most cases I fancy it is due to carelessness or lack of funds on the part of the Bible societies. The Bibles formerly in use were, I believe, mostly distributed by them. The books were cheap, twenty-five cents probably being the retail price of the best of them, but they answered the purpose, and it strikes me that it would be a good idea to get several thousand of them adrift again."

"It is nothing compared to her jealousy of another's chronic ailments. Half the doctors would starve if it were not for the prevalence of illnesses that are purely imaginary. Of course, it does not do for us to tell a woman who has firmly made up her mind that she is ill that she is not ill. In nine cases out of ten she would lose her temper and consult another doctor. Among certain women invalidism gives them a distinction which is gratifying to their self-love. They may literally be said to 'enjoy poor health.' They look for the doctor's visit to them, or they call at his office, as the most exciting event of the day. If they know him well enough, they implore him to waive professional etiquette and tell them about ailments of other women who consult him. Women of this description—and they are legion—having a craving for martyrdom, which doctoring an imaginary illness seems to satisfy. The Pekin Chili Parlor, 2535 Washington avenue.

BEIZED THE JUDGE'S THOUGHT. Lawyer's Display of Tact Secured Client's Acquittal. At the American Bar association's banquet at Narragansett Hector Lawrence of Duluth said, apropos of tact: "Tact often goes a great way in a case. I know a man who defended an old fellow charged with stealing an armful of wood. "The judge was very deaf and had a habit of talking to himself. Sometimes unconsciously he talked to himself in a pretty loud tone. "Now, in this case, when the prosecutor took the stand and identified his stolen wood with great positiveness, the judge asked himself in a louder key than he was aware of: "How can he identify this wood when one stick's as much like another stick as one egg is like another?" "The tactful lawyer for the defense rose immediately. "Your honor,' he exclaimed passionately, 'how can this witness identify his wood so positively when one stick is as much like another stick as one egg is like another?' "The judge turned to the jury with a great start. "'Gentlemen,' he said, 'you will acquit the prisoner. That very thought flashed through my head not a moment before the words were spoken by the learned counsel for the defense. You will acquit the prisoner, gentlemen. I consider this a direct interposition of Providence." Caught Alligator With a Fishline. While deer, duck and quail shooting have been better this season in the neighborhood of Titusville than in several years, Rockledge, Stuart and a few other places seem to have the expert fishermen. But it takes a Merritt fisherman to catch alligators. We are told that a few days ago a seven-foot alligator was caught with a fishline. The line was set and baited with a mullet, for trout. The alligator took the bait and the hook fastened itself in his throat. Had the line been a rope or chain it would have been twisted apart or the hook torn out. The alligator tired himself out and was easily taken by slipping a rope over his nose, securing his flippers, and towing him ashore, where he was killed with an axe.—East Coast Advocate (Titusville, Fla.). --- Christmas Bazaar IN OUR NEW BUILDING makes the total store length 400 feet and there It may be interesting to know that Chicago's greatest retail store is shorter by fifteen feet than The Denver.

"Admirers of Indian character as it is supposed to be," says the Ottawa Herald, "received a severe shock this morning to see Indian men walking away from the show care under heavy burdens, while the squaws trotted cheerfully by their sides, not carrying anything. The fall of the noble redskin is complete." Knew When to Say Yes A boy in Toledo, O., who declined to accept a drink of liquor, a chew of tobacco and a box of cigars offered him by a stranger was later on offered $2,100 in banknotes by the same party and lost no time in accepting the same. All of which teaches that a boy should learn to say "no," and, likewise, "yes."

This is the season when in commemoration of God's gift of his Son to man, giving of presents is the custom. The thought is a pretty one that one should remember those in whose welfare he is concerned as this world was by its Creator. Yet there is a proneness to keep the letter of the commemoration and forget the spirit. The Son came to Jew and Gentile to be a means for the return of all men to a closer relation with the Father. It is therefore entirely wrong for our Christmas to be limited to relatives and friends. Our duty is to all men. For the poor we can dispense relief; for men in general we can cultivate that charitableness which thinks good rather than evil. It is worse than hypocrisy to profess Christianity and have a tongue that speaks evil on every pretext. It is living in a glass house and throwing stones to be outside of the Church and revile others for misdeeds which parallel one's own. The world would be far happier with gossip out of it; it could do without all this criticism which has for its excuse for existence "the right to tell the truth." When truth is spoken for the sake of inviduous comparison, it had better be left unsaid. The man or woman who does not know the glorious uplift of soul that comes from unselfish goodness, whether of action or speech, has missed the greatest gift, beside which our Christmas present is as naught. And, best of all, this can come from within us and is possible alike for the poor and rich, the professing Christian and the world. Let us consider this glad season in its broader significance and adapt ourselves to its real meaning. Altruism is the real living. Selfishness shrivels the soul. Let your friends have the gifts of gold and finery that are of this world, but give yourself and all mankind the heaven sent gift of kindly thoughts, of that Charity which extends beyond the bounds of mere matter and glorifies giver and receiver alike. Through the resignation of one of the guards employed at the county jail, there was a vacancy in the force under Sheriff Alexander Nisbet last week, and it is very gratifying to the colored republicans of this county that he filled the vacancy with a colored man, Edward Allison. It has been so long since this kind of a po --- sition has been given us that it is more than mere passing mention that the appointment deserves. During the campaign The Statesman said that the candidates upon the republican ticket would give a square deal to us and asked the support of all colored voters for them for that reason. Now that the fulfillment o four promises has been exceeded, for we did not expect the places until the first of the year, we are elated. We are pleased to give the fullest recognition to Sheriff Nisbet's fair treatment. We are glad to commend him to the voters and to ask that they place him upon the list of our friends so that the future may find us ready and willing to reward kindness with kindness. We also take occasion to thank County Clerk Vickery for the retention of a colored clerk in his office in the person of Henry Hinkle. The apathy which has been growing upon colored republicans will receive a decided check from such actions as these two officials are doing. When it is borne in mind that, in addition to these two places, others may yet come, we feel that the wisdom of supporting the republican ticket is clearly demonstrated. Intelligent participation in politics will remedy the evils which are complained of. Staying at home can accomplish nothing. Let us keep Messrs. Vickery and Nisbet in mind; let us remember all our friends and rally to their support whenever we can do them good. Beautiful Gold Head Cane.

The same strong individuality which gives President Roosevelt distinctive characteristics dissimilar from other men, is manifest in his children. The Roosevelt traits are particularly exemplified in Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., who is now 14 years old. A typical American boy of rare tast and judgment, he is deliberate and determined. Master Theodore is the personification of the trite axiom, "Like father, like son." Whether it be a go with the "akis" in winter or a row on the bay in summer, he goes about it with the same vigor as his father wields an ax or dashes through the woodg on his war horse Texas. When young Theodore said, one day last summer, "Mother, I shall walk over and see Grandfather Robert," he clearly demonstrated the grit and pluck that is in him, for to walk over to "Grandfather Robert's" country seat at Sayville meant to walk a distance of forty miles. The lad walked the distance in remarkably short time, making the journey back to Sagamore Hill when his visit with Robert Roosevelt, the President's uncle, had ended. Master Theodore, who is a born naturalist, has one of the most complete museums of any boy in the country. He is a taxidermist of no mean ability, and his stuffed specimens are excellent. Young Theodore began his elementary education in the little schoolhouse near President Roosevelt's residence at Sagamore Hill. Miss Sarah C. Provost, the preceptress, declares with much pride that "Little Theodore was the brightest and most studious scholar I ever had." The two Roosevelt children now getting beyond their A B C's in this humble little country school are Archibald Bullock Roosevelt, 6 years old, and Kermit Carew Roosevelt, 11 years old. Miss Provost points to them as being the brightest and most tractable of any of her scholars. Last winter Kermit tramped to school through snowbanks and in the face of chilling winds. Archie is very quiet, but exceedingly witty. When in his father's study he keeps Mr. Roosevelt in an uproar, and is frequently sent scurrying to the nursery. Ethel, 9 years old, is a demure little miss, but exceedingly bright. Often she is seen seated beside the coachman while he drives about Oyster bay. She is very observing, and nothing escapes her sharp, penetrating eyes. Quentin, aged 8 years, is the "baby." He is vivacious and pert, and very active. With the Roosevelt children it is always "father" and "mother," never "pa" or "ma." The children are allowed perfect freedom, and they have a rough-and-tumble time in the woods or at the water's side. Miss Alice Roosevelt is now a young lady about ready to enter society. She is remarkably handsome and extremely well educated. Happiness and content ever reign supreme in the President's delightfully domestic family circle. Oyster Bay (N. Y.)

JACKSON SHOE CO., 1006 Curtis Street. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. ```markdown ``` Two whispered words—"Good-bye! For give!" Her dull brain throbbed to them, And thoughts came crowding thick and fast, Of how, and where, and when They two might meet again. Good-bye! Her quickened heartbeats tell Of nerves not made of steel, Yet still and cold she stands, No word, no look! Well, twas best that they so parted, For lying tongues had broken faith and trust. Good-bye! Forgiving eyes sought hers, That only sought the ground, A moment's pause, in which a heart's life passed away, And then retreating footsteps fell upon her ear. A closing door, a woman's sob, And she was beaconless Upon a sea of pride and doubt, Good-bye forevermore! Mr. Rockefeller Was Meek. While Mr. and Mrs. William Rockefeller and daughter were automobiling through England and Scotland recently they stopped at Harrogate, taking a suite of nine rooms at the hotel. The day after Mr. Rockefeller arrived he went to the barber shop in the hotel to be shaved, his mustache having been clipped into the semblance of a scrubbing brush. The barber proceeded to strop the razor and lather the oll magnate's face. At the same time, wishing to entertain his client, he remarked: "We have the wealthiest man in the world staying here." "Ah," said Mr. Rockefeller, "who is that?" "Rockefeller, sir, the great oil king." "But," said Mr. Rockefeller, "perhaps it is the rich man's brother, who is a very poor man. For instance, if your brothers were rich would it necessarily mean that you were?" "No," said the barber, "but in this case I do not know which Rockefeller it is. Anyway, I should not want anything more than to have the 'rocks' this man has." Mr. Rockefeller returned to his room, told his courier of the incident, and laughed heartily. All the smart people of the hotel were absurdly concerned in the doings of the Rockefellers. A man is never contented with his lot until he occupies one in a cemetery. It's always hard on a man when love or the measles attacks him late in life. No man has to serve an apprentice ship in order to learn how to make mistakes.

The Freemen Mining, Milling and Development Company of Colorado Springs, which has its offices in Room 1, McIntyre-Barnett block, and of which F. M. Roberts is secretary has the wonderful record of having disposed of the whole of the first block of shares which were put on the market at 5 cents. There were 50,000 in the block and a second lot is now offered, and though the price has been raised to 10 cents, 20,000 are already bargained for. This is a good company for the investor to keep watch on and a better one to put his money in. J.W. Jackson Manager.
