BLEEDING CUBA.

Cuba was in the throes of dis
order, she is now under control
of the secretary of war, Taft
and the warships. The affairs of
the island offered a perpleXing if
not an eXasperating problem.
Uncle Sam interviewed to save the
republic from war and to protect
local and national interest, but the
big question is, will the island be
annexed? The action of the United
States is not regarded in good
faith either at home or abroad.
There is suspicion of sinister
motive if not a meddling spirit
that undertakes to tell the lesser
lights of the world how to behave
themselves. The fact that this ma
ton does not interfere everytime
Mexico has riot, nor land marines
every time there is disturbance
in South American affairs, or to
try to settle a strike in England if
it gets too serious. We do not lift
a hand to stop fiendish massacres
in Russia In fact the doctrine of
teaching people peace with force
is not applied to larger nations. 1t
is blessing wholly reserved to
those who are not able to make
their protests heard. Stripped of
all its tinsel it seems to settle in
the old rut, Might makes right, :"
and the Cubans must now feel the
force of American injustice like
the American Indian and the
American Negro.
But the question is: If the
American flag is raised in Havana
will it ever come down again? We
believe not. This thing of forcing
intervention with club, becoming
missionaries with warships and
bayonets and shooting civilization

COMPETENT MEN AND WO-
MEN DESIRABLE.

Never was there time in the
history of our race when thorough
ly competent men and women were
more desired. One hundred per

fifty and sixty per cent men, but
par excellent, accomplished, thor
oughly furnished, proof test, pre-

Has it never occurred to you when
you look around for qualified,
strong, clean, reliable, intelligent
man or woman that this kind of
article is very scarceq Much of our
trouble is lack of this kind of ma

DENVER UNIVERSITY AND

Is the Denver Dental School a
part of the University of Denver?
You had better find this out before
you fall over your heels trying to
get your son or daughter in that
school. Perhaps if you knew that
colored people could not attend
certain professional schools you
would not be too hasty advocating
young men and women to enter
school this fall. There are some
things you thought was free and
open in Colorado that has a good
deal of Jimcrow in it right here at
your door. You had better do a
little looking around and ask
some questions before you laud
home institutions. Enough said.
Suppose you begin some quiet in
vestigations on your own part, con-

Republican party, and is as earn

that ticket as it fought against
that party's ticket two years ago.

Employees, officers, places, high
honors, promotions and noble ca

work, thoroughly honest, industrl-

rarely have to look far for employ

find him out and the laws OF re-
compense and compensation will
assuredly obtain in his favor.
A bungler, a cobbler, a make
appear is certain to give place to
better. Men of affairs are CON
stantly looking for the best, not
makeshift. The fault of incompe-
tence may not have distressing ef-
feet in the case of ordinary labor
or hostler, but it assumes the pro-
portions of crime when it reaches
higher and more responsible posi-
tions. A stenographer has no right
to expect employment when his or
her work is not reliable and their
speed and execution deXterous and
correct. A position as private sec
retary calls for eXacting pains for
detail and alertness in anticipating
the needs of employer. A clerical
position in office or store or shop
calls for thoughtfulness and eX-
actness in computation and quick
knowledge of figures and of buy
ing and selling and operating cost.
A clergyman has no right even to
assume leadership in things spirit
ual when his life is stepped in ig
norance and his mind uncultured
by previous training and so on
through every profession and duty.
The days of paid ignorance and
incompetence are doomed i'll the

settle down to defeat. Even if

who would stem the current must
make the preparation for the sue
cessful performance of duty. Apol-
ogists. trimmers. the makeshifts,

clearly and certainly calls for one
hundred per cent. men, who will
carry their end of the burden, do
their share of the worlds work,
hold their own in competition, ex-
eel in comparison, meet new eXi-
gencies and win in the struggle. If
you cannot meet these serious, try

wonder that you are distanced in
the race.

Emerson says: '"Tis pitiful; the
things by which we are rich or poor
"a matter of coins, coats and car
pets; little more or less of stone,

Indians, of whom one is proud in the
possession of glass bead, or red

MR.. WASHINGTON'S ANNUAL
ADDRESS.

On the front page of this issue
is printed in full Booker T.
Washington S seventh annual adj
dress delivered at Atlanta. Geor-
gia, August 29th before the Ma
tional Negro Business League. We
print this message to the business
men of the colored race and to the
country, and call attention to it in
these columns because it ought to
be read, digested and put into
operation by colored people in
every part of the country, espec-
tally here in Colorado. There can
be no question about the value and
Importance of the league and the
mission and wisdom of the man
who is directing its destiny. To
show the clearness of Mr.. Wash
ington s grasp of the situation we
quote just a few of his thoughts,
i. e., cit is the policy of this or
ganization to hold before the race
its advantages rather than its dis
advantages, its success rather than
its failures, to call the attention of
the world to our friends rather
than to our enemies, that while the
world may pity crying, whining
race it seldom respects it." This
is true and ought to be bred into
every boy and girl to-day. After
speaking of the success of the Ne
groes in the state of Georgia the
speaker further says:
"The more | study our condi-
ton and need, the more | am con-
vinced that there is no surer road
by which we can reach civic, moral,
educational and religious develop
ment than by laying the founda-
tion in the ownership and cultiva-
ton of the soil, the saving of
money, commercial growth, and
the skilful, conscientious perform
ance of any duty with which we
are entrusted Progress through
this method means the exercise OF
patience, faith, courage and eter-
nal vigilance; but there is no es.
cape from it. 1t is the road that
all nations have Travelled, which
have gotten upon their feet. y
After showing the folly Of
crime and its menace to progress
he shows those who do not do these
things in this language:
In this connection let us con
slider the classes of Negroes thai
do not commit crime and are sci
dom charged with crime. They are
those who own homes, who are tax
payers, who have trade or other
regular occupation; they are those
who are in professional service
those who have received education
and such business men and womer
as those who compose this organi.
zation.'
And then follows the description
OF that class who are hailed before
the courts and bring shame moi
only to themselves but to the entire
race.
AS we have said above. the en-.
tire address will bear careful scru.
tiny 1t is good sense applied to a
problem every one of us are inter
ested in and ought to have the
thoughtful reading of our people

The police were uncertain whether the bomb
throwing was Fourth of July celebration or
more serious. Because the store owned by
an Italian they thought it possible the bomb
might have been more than a Fourth OF July
toy They were unable to learn who owned the
store.
