attuned they fall like strains Of music,
since these prodigious breathings but

The earth is now subdued and space
is no more. Warning nations are be-

is to be at last triumphant.

Visited by Its Officers and Friends,
Sunday, Nay 2lst.

Steve Lucas, with his span of
spirited horses, according to con-
tract, was at Zion Baptist church
Sunday May 2lst, in full readiness
to carry the officers and visitors to
the home of 160 acres beautifully
located on the Colorado Eastern
railroad. AS they journyed toward
the home the beauties of nature
such as spring time brings in mag
nifcent splendor was much enjoy
ed by the party.
In two miles of the home the
party stopped at a neighbor ranch
man and enjoyed a few moments
chat with the occupants and after
enjoying a bucket of cool milk
presented to them they proceeded
to the home where curiosity ran so
high that the many lunch baskets
were forgotten. After the pilot
has shown them around the houe,
barn and other outbuildings and
the ipexhaustible mineral well, all
were much admired and the many
voices went up exclaiming: 1.-THE
very thing we need for our orphans
and old ones" After all had par
taken of the mineral water lunch
was served, after which they visit
ed the spot where a large building
is to be erected for the inmates.

which will bring about the hang
ing of those who have disgraced
the good name of the state. The
trials will occupy month. The
outcome will be watched with in
terest all over the country, and
every American who wishes well
to the South will bid Godspeed to
this movement as the beginning
of new regime in Mississippi.
Other states, North and South,
are not guiltless in the matter of
mob violence, and those in which
the rule of law has been subordi-
nate to the reign of ignorant pas
sion and prejudice may well take
lesson from the determined Miss
issippians who are bent on redeem
their state.
The editor of the Republican
has always maintained that the
white folk of Mississippi were far
more heathen than the black folk.
and now that the better thinking
white folk of the state are publicly
admitting the same it gives us the
right to rise to remark, ''We told
you so." The state is largely made

Color Line in Labor Warfare.

Henry Banks, one of Denver's
most highly esteemed citizens and
foreman iE one of the largest ma
chine shops in the state, had the
following to say in the Denver
Post of last Wednesday of Samuel
Gompers, the great labor leader
and trouble breeder:
Its strange what an effect Colo
RADIO light air has on some Of these
prominent men or so-called leaders.
When interviewed by your repre-
sentative he began by placing the
blame on the shoulders of the en-
tire race, simply because they are
a handful of colored men who are
honest enough, brave enough to
take such chances to make an hon
est living. There are thousands of
white breakers who have
been imported hundreds of miles
to fill these same jobs, and if trac-
ed back to their former home, or
if searched, would find that the
white men are carrying union
cards and are affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor, of
which Mr.. Gompers, is leader and
who is furnishing more support to
break the Chicago strike than any,
body else. Mr.. Gompers don't
give the white people out here
credit for knowing what has caus-
ed the strike, but will try to poison
their minds with prejudice against
the black man. In the writer's
opinion a man of Mr.. Gompers'
standing, travelling from one part
of the country to the other, spin
ming his little yarn of falsehood
upon the Negro, has done and will
do more to cause race trouble than
all the strikes inaugurated, and
when the white workmen look at it
in this light they will decide that
such leader is dangerous to the
A. F. of l.. and is not a true Amer
lean. Respectfully yours, Ne
gro, HENRY BANKS"

DENVER, COLORADO SATURDAY, JUNE 8, 1906

Monroe Grant of this city re-
ceived the sad news few days ago
of the death of his oldest son Amos
who went to the navy about four
months ago. He was out swim
ming with some of the boys and it
is thought that he became cramped
as he made no out-cry. When the
boys recued him he was unconcious
and died soon after. Everyone
extends their sympathy to the be-
reaved parents, as Amos was quite
a favorite with all who knew him.

He quoted from a speech deliv-
ed by General Garfield thirty-nine
years ago the following gem SO ap-
plicable to the situation to-day.
Said the soldier statesman:
"We must give full force and ef-
feet to the provision that no per-
son shall be deprived of life, liber-
ty or property without due process
of law. We must make it as true
in fact as it is in law that The cit
liens of each state. shall be entitled
to all privileges and immunities OF
citizens in the severed states We
must make American citizenship
the shield that protects every citi-
zen on every foot of our soil"
Mr.. Lyons closed his remarks
upon the practical disfranchise-
ment of the Negro in the South
with another extract from the
speech of Garfield:
Il know of nothing more dan
gerous to republic than to put
into its very midst four million
people stripped of the right of rep
resentation, but bound to pay tax
es to the government. If they can
endure it, we can not. The MUIR
derer is to be pitied more than the
murdered man; the robber more
than the robbed; and we who de.
fraud four million citizens OF
their rights are injuring ourselves
vastly more than we are injnring
those whom we defraud. I say
that the inequality of rights before
the law, which is now part of our
system, is more dangerous to us
than to the black man whom it dis
franchises. 1t is like foreign
substance in the body, a thorn in
the flesh; it will wound and disease
the body solitic.''
Mr.. Lyons felicitious address
was enthusiastically received by a
large audience and was commented
upon more favorably by press and
public as a valuable contribution

A Southern View.

More than forty years ago the
white men of the Northern states,
fathers of the present strikers of
Chicago, engaged in dreadful
war to free the Negro slaves of the
Southern states. Their argument
was that as white men and as citi-
zens they were compelled to work
in competition with those Negro
slaves. After a struggle which

Industria1ism in the South.
Hon. Judson W. Lyons Register of the United States
Treasury Delivers Instructive Address at st.
James Presbyterian Church, New York.

On the evening of May 16, Mr..
Lyons delivered an important and
highly instructive address at the
ST. James Presbyterian Church in
New York City. He discussed at
considerable length the important
part the colored people are playing
in the industrial development of
the late slave-holding states. He
showed from statistics furnished
by the census office and farms
owned or controlled and operated
by colored farmers in the South
are more than twice as productive
in proportion to the area cultiva-
teded as the farms operated by
white farmers.
In the production of cotton, su-
gar-cane, rice, manufactured to-
bacco and cotton seed oil, they
again figure in the most creditable
manner, as to per capita produc-
tivity.
In regards to illiteracy, he argu-
ed from the report furnished Dy
the bureau of statistics that now
less than 443 per cent. of the col
ored people are illlterate. This il
literacy of the colored people he
compared to the illiteracy ofsever-
al of the European states, where
the people have been free ''from
the time whereof the memory of
man runneth not to the contrary"
as follows:
SIN Hungary the illiteracy is
AIS per cent; in Servia, 1913 per
cent, and in Roumania, 1874 per
cent.
'The colored people of the Uni
ted States have been emancipated
but one generation from slavery,
yet have they outstripped Europ-
can races who labor under no such
handicaps as people of color are
forced to contend with here. If
this is not speed on the part of the
colored men, what would you say
of the people just mentioned?'
The speaker quoted with commen-
dation extensively from the letters
of Mr.. William E. Curtis.
"But man does not live by bread
Alone" continued Mr.. Lyons. HE
is not happy, and will not lie, if
his civil & political privileges are
abated one iota. The wealth of a
Croesus will not compensate for
the illegally withdrawn or restrict
ed ballot; for the infiction of the
Jim Crow cars; the practice OF
peonage and numerous other de-
grading and odious determinations.
Liberty and equality before the
law has been the pillar of cloud by
day and the pillar of fire by night
that has guided this nation through
the shoals, quicksands and storms
of the past; and woe be unto us
when we shall become Indifferent
to these virtures.

Would Redeem the State.

The state OF Mississippi has for
many years suffered from the race
issue in its acutest and most para
lying form. The Negro has been
an object of hatred and attack be-
cause he was a Negro. Whenever
mob of white ruffians, infamed
with drink and angered by some
real or fancied misconduct that
could be laid at black mans door
set out to find a victim, the result
was likely to be an atrocity pre-
senting features of brutal horror
that shocked the entire country.
The effect of this state of things
has been to retard progress and
make the state one of the most
backward in development. New
blood has been kept away; capital,
which loves the land of order and
Justice, has shrunk from the work
of exploiting vast latent resources,
and the commonwealth as whole
has had no part in even the leis-
urely march of progress which the
other Southern states, late, but
with determination have taken up.
Mississippi has become a byword
for lawless hoodlumism and indus
trial stagnation.
From this slough of despond the
more thoughtful Mississippians
are uniting in an effort to rescue
their state. With true instinct
they have gone straight to the core
of the evil-the disregard of hu-
man life and of public law, which
has so long been curse to their
community. They hope to make
Mississippi ready for better things
by first making it safe for the
workingman, white or black, who
is industrious and lawabiding, to
live there.
A dispatch to the New York
Tribune describes the organization
and performance of the Law and
Order League in Mississippi,
which, working through the mar
shals of the federal courts, is
rounding up and bringing to trial
at jackson all the $50 men who
have been indicted for white cap
outrages during the last few years.
The officers of the law have also
collected more than 400 witnesses,
and an ample armed force is re-
orted to be at hand to block any
attempt at rescue or interference
with the work of the court.
Many of the indicted persons
are said to be of high social stand
ing, some of them members of the
legislature, others holding state
and county offices. The detectives

Frankfort, KY, May 19.-The
Court of Appeals to-day decided
in the case of the Commonwealth
VS. L. and N. Railroad company,
from Taylor county, that a rail-
road company can not be punish
ed for violation OF Section 1893 of
the Kentucky statutes because the
statute fixes no penalty. The Sec
ton says that sufficient coaches
must be provided on every passen-
ger train for the transportation
separately of all white and colored
passengers. On an overcrowded
excursion train in Taylor county a
number of white passengers had to
take seats in the Negro coach, and
the railroad was indicted for not
furnishing sufficient coaches to ac-
comodate all those who applied to
take the trip.

ruled that it is within the rights of
the proprietor of place of amuse-

groes or other Objectionable per-
sons; that the ticket of admission
is merely a license, revocable at
the pleasure of the proprietor. The
decision was rendered in the suit
of Oliver Taylor, a Negro, who
sought to recover damages to the
amount of $1,000 from S. Morton
Cohn, proprietor of theatre, be-
cause the latter had refused to per-
NIT the Negro to sit in box, one
of the rules of Cohn' theatre being
that Negroes are not permitted to
occupy boxes.
