thing for you?' was the sympathetic
query. With many sobs came the re-

There was a church trial in this
burg not many days ago, a case where
the scandal and it's history were kept
beautifully smothered, and where the
cultures of the press" as one aged
minister called them, were baffled from
Alpha to Omega, and from A to lizard.
The trial came off, and the verdict
was deferred for month or two.
So much for the trial. What hap
pened during the first session thereof
is what concerns this story.
Numerous reporters came to the
trial-and got nothing, which is the
reason no newspaper printed more
than a casual mention of the case.
When the eager scribes gathered at
the church they were received with
great courtesy, and also with the in
formation that the proceedings were
strictly secret. They were then herd
ed into an anteroom and told that they
would be given a little information
later.
Gathered in this anteroom, the boys
chatted, laughed and formulated imag-
mary narratives. This soon palled up
on them, and they began to figure out
some method of getting at least an
inkling of the doings.
Their anteroom was behind another
anteroom. and this room, in turn, was
separated from the auditorium of the
church by big double door, the kind
of door where you push both halves
and emerge in the middle. The boys

THE WEST AGAIN HONORED.

The President has not been un-
mindful of the West in his ap.
pointments. A short time ago
Kansas was honored by the ap-
pointment of DR.. Vernon to be
Register of the Treasury and
whether confirmed or not the Pres
ident showed his faith in a West
ern representative of the race.
NOW comes the first national ap-
pointment of the race from Colora-
do. The honors fall upon the
honored shoulders of Rev. w. E.
GLADDEN. of Colorado Springs who
was appointed Wednesday Chap
lain of the 25th Infantry to sue
ceed Chaplain Allen Allensworth
retired. Rev GLADDEN. was in
dorsed by every white and colored
Baptist organization in the coun-
try and by all classes and kinds of
men. Congressman Brooks has
stood behind Rev. GLADDEN. and
left no stone unturned to see that
his appointment was assured.

But in the arts, in literature,
what can he do there? There
have been white men in the South
who have not scrupled to affirm
that the Negro was only an animal
soulless and incapable of real pro-
gress. Perhaps they regard indus
trial achievement as mere train
ing of animals" Perhaps they
look upon his religious enthusiasm
as of animal emotion. Perhaps
they would bring the same accusa-
ton against Negro music-the
only really American music we
have produced. But they can
hardly pretend that brutes can
bring forth such work in literary
lines as the Negro is showing him
self capable of. We refer to the
writings of Professor Dubois and
Paul Laurence Dunbar. Mr.. Dun-
bars latest book of poems, illus
trated by Negro artists, is a gem
which the writer has not seen
surpassed by the work of any
white poets this year. 1t is tine
for us to wake up to the fact that
in the field of literature, even as
in other fields, the Negro is work.
ing side by side with his white
brother. There is no use in talk
ing about the inferior races any
more than is in talking about the
inferiority of women. Difference
is not inferiority, And even the
difference has been greatly exag-
gerated. BY the sign of the book
the Negro is showing mental ca
pacity which places him on a level

PRACTICAL POLITICS.

On every hand we hear the Ne
gro complaining of lack of recog-
milton at the hands of the great
political parties or apologizing for
the short comings of those to whom
he looks for support. Stop and
reason a moment In politics as
in business, as an individual, or
as IA race, need expect no more fa-
vors than his ability and industry
demands. If the Negro wants
business he must go after it stren-
ously and wisely and stay with
it until he gets it and like other
men he will get just as much bust
ness as his merit, ability and capt.
tai calls for and no more. The
same is true in politics. The Ne
gro must begin at the foundation
of politics the primaries and the
caucas and go up there as in bus
mess he will get just what his
ability, interest, knowledge and
power calls for and no more.
The time has now come for the
Negro to stop whining about jobs
and appointments but go to the
bottom and earn the right to be
respected and hold office. Here
in Denver where voice and vote
and representation is denied no
one (the Negro included) why
should he complain or excuse, vii
lify or praise. When the Negro
himself is a part and a voice in

newspaper it stands as an I'M
biased teacher to point the way to

citizens are content to be an echo
and not a voice, as long as he is
satisfied to be tool and not vital
factor in free government, as
long as he sits idly by while others
go to caucases and primaries, ar
range the delegate lists and make
the slate and name the candidates.
Why should he complain at
their action. The thing for the
Negro to do is to be one on the
precinct committee, to be in the
ward council and see to it that he

SIGNS OF INDUSTRIALISn.

Last week we called attention in
this column to the interest being
taken in the young people of our
race by the Christian and Educa-
tional congresses to be held this
years in Washington, d. G. and
Nashville, Tenn. We wish at this
time to direct thought to three
great Industrial expositions to be
held by our people. These exhi-
bitions are intended to stimulate
pride and commercialism in the
race and afford an object lesson to
the whites of the progress being
made along practical lines by our
people.
The first is the 25th anniver-
sary of Tuskegee The mechani-
cal display to be made at this time
will far surpass anything ever at
tempted at the Industrial plant
fostered by the great Booker T.
Washington. This exhibition will
take place on the school grounds
at Tuskegee about the middle of
April.
The second Industrial display is
planned to come off at Atlanta,
GA. during the session of the Ma
tional Negro Business League in
that city. The Trade schools of
the South will represent their pro-
ducts at this meeting in order
that the convention may not have
the appearance of talk but practi-
cal results.
The third will be the comDina-
ton of the Frederick Douglass
Memorial exposition of Chicago
with the Negro Development and
Exposition company of America.
These consolidated interests will
exhibit the work and progress of
the Race at jamestown, Va. where
three hundred years ago 16OO
nineteen blacks from an African
slave ship first landed to take up
the weary pilgrimage on these
shores.
The jamestown exhibition will
be held in the summer 1907 begin
ming in the month of June. J. J.
