WHEN YOU WANT SHOES.

We know of no other article of
apparel upon which so much de-
pends for the satisfaction of the
wearer as shoes, but if the shoes fit
right, feel easy and look stylish, the
whole world takes on a better look
and one is likely to feel better to-
ward the shoe store that sold the
footwear.
a. T. Lewis & Son make real
effort to bring about this condition
of mind and feet for everyone who
visits their shoe section. Notwith-
standing that there is a popular be-
lief that style and comfort must be
separated in shoes, Lewis unite
these two qualities perfectly.

ly, no matter how ill one feels, if
he can only get one foot forward,
he must look after, and do his part
of the work. The married boys
who have their families here do
not eat at the dining hall.

dent Roosevelt, to the troops of
the Twenty-fifth infantry, to
either tell on their comrades or ac-
cept dishonorable discharge is in
hue with this fad of Negroes doing
what no other citizens are called
upon to do. 1t comes to us that
these brave men who refused to ac-
cept the insolence and insults of
the narrow minded Brownsville
rabble, prefer to accept discharge
rather than ''peach'' upon their
comrades. The wholesale punish
ment OF a regiment because the law
is unable to locate the criminals in
the regiment seems to be new
method of dealing with the defend
ers of the Republic-a method we
are bound to believe would not
have been pursued with any other
regiment in the army.
If the authorities at Browns
vile want the soldiers accused Of
crime, it is the business of the civil
officers to find them, and not the
business of the President to dis
charge innocent men because he
cannot put his finger on the guilty
one. We grow sick of this attempt
to persecute the many for the
crimes of the few, and we would
have expected this from any other
quarter except from the chief ex-
ecutive of the nation.
Negroes are no more called upon
to dirty their hands with black
criminals than other men are ex-
pected to soil their hands with
white ones. The citizens have
elected and pay men to catch and
prosecute the lawless and in our
opinion the less unauthorized men
have to do with it the more the law
and its executors will be feared.
This, however, does not justify
any man in harboring a criminal
known to be such, but as long as
the South is ruled by mobs, instead
of by orderly courts, SO long hu-
man nature will hesitate to throw
black men to the certain death
which always awaits them around
the corner.

ed fact that foreigners should leave

it seems as if we too, need a
change.
Is it true that when the black
brother enters mission field, he
must never think of leaving under
any circumstances? Is health of
no consideration? Does God re.
quire more of the black man for
his salvation than of the white
man, or is it only our narrow mind

We have been more and more as
tonished, as the cry comes from
newspaper after newspaper and
from the President to the most Oh
scure constable in the service of a
justice of the peace that the, whole
Negro race should form itself into
a sort of posse comitatus and run
down every Negro in the country
who is accused of crime. We d.
not believe that any honest man
should harbor a refugee from thu
clutches of the law. We have as
little respect for law breakers, who
ever they may be, as any other
American, but that the Negro citi-
zen, and the Negro citizen alone as
distinguished from any other citi-
zen, should feel himself bound
every time a Negro commits a crime
to hunt him down and give him up
to the officers of the law is ridicu-
lous. The trouble with the South
to-day is that every citizen, who SO
inclines, feels himself authorized
. to meddle with matters that are en-
tirely beyond his province. Why
elect sheriffs and other executive
officers, if the fierce criminal classes
are to be apprehended by the Ne
groes alone? Why have judges
learned in law to sit on cases and
grand juries to find true bills, if
the Negroes are>to spend their time
hunting up criminals and turning
them over to the waiting and ever
ready mob to administer summary
punishment. If the men appointed
to enforce the law are too ignorant
or too cowardly to do so, let them
acknowledge that law and order are
failures and call in the anarchist
to institute reign of terror.
Of one thing we are convinced
that the criminals who commit
crimes are not more criminal than
the mobs who murder them.
The Negroes are asked to give up
their criminal classes, but the Ne
groes ask the whites in the South to
punish their criminal classes. When
has the law been enforced in the
South against the thugs and plug
uglies who murder and burn at
i. will? Even men who kill white
men are let off with nominal pun
ishment. The men under arrest in
Atlanta. after all the big talk about
enforcing the law, will be given
light sentences and afterwards
pardoned. 1t is the height OF hyp-
1 ocracy to be calling on the Negroes
Sto uphold the law and at the same
time winking at crimes, the most
diabplical, committed by white
men. The order given by Presl-

BRAVERY OF NEGRO

London, Oct. .27.-News has
reached England from Lake Chad
in Sudan of case of almost un-
paralleled bravery on the part of
British native troops.
Under the leadership of black
corporal the troops held at bay for
over two hours, and subsequently
The Colorado statesman., 1906-11-10

drove off with considerable loss,
force of Tuaregs outnumbering the
defenders by over eighty to one.
Owing to the remoteness of the
region in which the incident oc-
Cured, and the fact that no white
officer was present at the time, only
the bare facts are yet to hand.
From these it appears that some
time in June the British post at
Yo was surprised by raiding band
of masked Tuareg or Tiby people,
who infest that part of the Sahara
bordering on the Anglo-French
frontier to the northwest of Lake
Tchad
The military headquarters and
presidency are erected outside the
native town, and are in an isolated
position on a mound some distance
away. The white resident COM
mander was absent, having been
removed to another center, and the
place, merely ranking as a frontier
post, was held only by six natives
mounted infantry of the West
African Frontier Force, under the
command of black corporal,
armed only with carbines.
Whether the Tuaregs came from
the British territory or whether
they crossed from the north bank
of the Yo river is not certain, but
it appears that the raiders, num-
bering about 500, looted the native
town, and then turned their atten-
tion to the tiny garrison on the adj
jacent hill.
Armed with poisoned arrows and
spears and carrying shields, the
Tuaregs for a space of two hours
made repeated and determined at
tempts to reach the half-dozen men
who were defending the summit
from behind low mud brastwork.
but the well directed efforts of the
native troops caused such loss
among the Tuaregs that they be-
came disheartened, and finally re-
tired.
Perhaps the most conspicuous
act of gallantry ON the part of the
garrison was that at this stage, in
stead of remaining in the compare
tive security of their position,
they mounted their horses and gal

Il OGCC was WOuIucu. L lie gallant
conduct of the corporal will be
brought before the authorities, and
he will be recommended for pro-

The Tuaregs are of a war-like
nomadic race of Berber origin, oc-
cupying the center and south Of
the Sahara. Their most cherished
occupation is the looting of cara
vans. They number about 300, 900,
and are widely scattered, being
found as far south as Timbuktu.

with them.
