splendid generalship and cleverness.
From the first to the fifteenth round
Hermann had decided lead on
points. using his left tn Herrera 5
body successfully. especially in the
nfighting OF which there was great
deal.
Herrera was the stronger and
showed the hardest punch. tried hard
to land his right on the jaw, but did
not land Il squarely during the fight.
He staggered Hermann several
times by hitting him on the back OF
the neck and head. but the clever
ducling and quick recovery OF the
Chicago boy saved him from serious
harm.
After the tenth round Hermann
gave his attention 10 Herrerra's face

times. As long as he boxed with
Herrera and kept him from setting
himself for a blow Hermann had the
advantage. but in the exchanges

numbers which shows that the Ne
gro is determined to strike back or
at least to resent any insult offered.
Their ultimatum to the party is
eff the Republican party expects
to retain the Negro vote, they must
learn to vote for Negro
as the Negro votes for them.
In Milwaukee Lucian III. Palmer,
coiored, was elected to the Wiscon-
sin Assembly over prominent
Democratic opponent. The district
he will represent comprises the
richest district in the state from
the standpoint of the assessor s
roll, it being the downtown dis
t1.ict of the metropolis of the state
in which many of the corporations
and banks have their main offices.
Mr.. Palmer is the first colored man
to be elected member of the As
sembly in the history of the state.
He received the support of hun
dreds of loyal and staunch Demo
Gratis who disapproved of the man
ncr in which colored men had been
neglected by the Republican party
in Milwaukee in the division of
party honors.
Since the above was in type we
have learned with much sorrow
that Judge Barnett has been
counted out by the election com
missioners and his Democratic op-
ponent will receive his certificate of
election.

but because he can draw a crowd
and turn dollars into some ex-
chequer. His reputation is estab-
lished on his hatred and vitupera-
ton of the Negro. He was billed to
lecture in Cleveland, Ohio, this
week, but the reputable colored
citizens of the lake city went to the
authorities in the name of good
order and the lecture engagement
was broken. From Cleveland the
virulent Tillman lectured in
Chicago and now Chicago's manly
mayor, who was to introduce the
speaker and preside at the lecture,
turned the erstwhile Tillman
down. This action grew out of the
manly stand taken by committee
Of colored citizens headed by Rev.
A j. Carey, who called upon
Mayor Dunno and asked that
he use the police force, if nee
essary, to prevent the delivering of
an address on the race question by
Senator Tillman, on the ground
that the address would be men
ace to public safety.
Mayor Dunno, after receiving
the committee, wrote a letter to
Mrs. Adele Keeler, secretary of the
Chicago Union Hospital, for the
benefit of which Senator Tillman
was to speak, declining to act as
chairman at the meeting.
81 am believer in the orderly
processes of law, and can not agree
with Senator Tillman in the views
he holds, and therefore 1 must de-
cline" he said, to accept the
craftsmanship at the meeting.
Thus the weapon of manly argu-
ment is proving far more effective
in silencing blatant demagoguery
than the sword.

CARNEGIE'S AID TO THE
WEST

Mr.. Andrew Carnegie is helping
the Negro of the West as well as
the South to solve his own prob
lem. The greatest obstacle to Ne
gro advancement at present is a
practical education. In order to
further opportunities for better
industrial educational facilities
this prince of philanthropy has
agreed to give $4,000 to the To-
peka Industrial Institute ON con-
dition that friends of the school
will raise a similar amount. This
ought to encourage every lover Of
the race to become deeply inter
ested in the movement to put this
splendid work on a financial basis.
The friends of the work have
been pleased to see it grow from
a school with one small building,
half an acre of ground, situated
in crowded part of the city, to
an institution with several build
ings, 105 acres of fertile land, To-
Gated three miles from the city in
beautiful, healthful spot. The
present property is valued at $685.
900, and is clear of encumbrance.
The work Of the institution is
causing it to become widely known
as the western Tuskegee. "
Booker Washington and the trus-
tees of Tuskegee are much inter
ested in this Western school. The
work is patterned directly after
that of the mother school, time
being equally divided between
classroom work and the teaching
of trades. 1t is not local school
by any means, as they have stu
cents in attendance from the en-
tire West. Colorado always con-
tributes large quota to the enroll
ment. Several young colored men
and women of Denver who have
graduated are profitably employed.
This is work that should not
only meet unstinted praise, but
our financial encouragement. Den
yer colored churches have made
liberal offerings to the work and
each individual member of the
race ought to do something to as
sist Rev. Carter in this splendid
work and secure Mr.. Carnegie s
gift for the West.

CANON CITY NOTES.

well known and popular young men,
royalty entertained ]. d. ID. Rivers, wife
and daughter Vivian, at finely ap-
pointed reception at the beautiful resi-
dence of Mr.. and Mrs. H. r. Townsend
Saturday evening. All the delicacies
of the season were served, after which
cards and other innocent amusements
were indulged in until the "wee sma' >"
hours anent the dawn. Among those
present to meet the distinguished
guests of the evening were Mr.. and
Mrs. Bruton, Mr.. and Mrs. James j..
Geiser Miss Hodge, Mrs. Hoard, Mr.
and Mrs. e. Johnson, Mr.. and Mrs.
Walton, Mr.. and Mrs. T. M. Russell,
Mr.. and Mrs. T. w. Geiser Mrs.

Wills, Alice Walton, Virgil Pate, v.
Johnson, Messrs. Taylor, Thompson, s..
B. Clark, Marsh, F. Warren, F. Geiser,
B. Moore, M. Bruton, N. Bruton. This
affair was by far the finest and most
enjoyable ever given in our thriving
little burg.
Sunday morning Mrs. Rivers and
Vivian, accompanied by Mr.. and Mrs.
H. r. Townsend, were taken sightsee-
ing in one of the finest rigs in the city
by Mr.. s. B. Clark, another one of Can
on's worthy citizens. The ride was GER
tainly an enjoyable one and the visi-
tors vote the people of our city as be-
ing one of the most hospitable of the
entire West. May they live long and
prosper. They returned to their Den

SENATOR TILLMAN
KNOCKED.

This is an age of ideas and agi-
tation and knowing and contending
for ones rights under the law and
constitution. The time of giving
way to passion and prejudice is
past. Also to sit idly by and per-
NIT ones liberties and opportuni-
ties to be infringed upon or one
good name or race to be traduced
by vulgar and race hating dema-
gogues is being met by stern oppo-
sition and alert manhood. The
Negro has lately found a new and
effective weapon. 1t is one of COM
mon sense and reason and has
proven more effective than any
that has yet been tried.
Senator Tillman of South Caro-
lima is much sought after as a pub
lie lecturer, not for what he says,
The Colorado statesman., 1906-12-01

AS was expected, the Tillman
meeting in Chicago passed off with
out any trouble.
Bitterly as the colored people
feel toward Senator Tillman, they
have too much respect for law and
order for free speech and a fair
hearing to cause any disturbance.
We do not believe the elaborate
precautions taken to protect the
senator were at all necessary. A
cOlored bomb-thrower has never yet
been known and black mobs are a
feature of civilization never yet re-
corded.
The gentleman from South Car.
Olina is quite safe in the North
and when he talks ON a subject on
which he is perfectly sane, all the
North will be glad to hear his opin-
ions, but on one subject his views
must be judged charitably.
1t is characteristic of the sena-
tors love of fair play, in some di-
rectiops, that he opposed the Pres
ident's action in the discharge of
the colored companies, insisting
that the men had been treated un-
fairly.
To have the Afro-American agi-
tation reinforced in this way by
this great race fighter is a unique
situation.
If the energy Senator Tillman
puts into his trust war and his race
war could only be put into some
compressed air dynamo and ap-
piled to the Panama canal project,
there would be no further need of
apparatus for lifting the soil in
that quarter.-Denver Times.
The Colorado statesman., 1906-12-01
NOW YOU HAVE GOT IT.

"To hell with law" These are
the words of One-eyed Tillman, the
pitchfork senator from South Caro-
lima. If that is not anarchy in its
most virulent form, then we don t
understand the English language.
And yet this man is member of
the highest law-making body of the
nation and the exponent of the
Declaration of Independence and
the United States Constitution.
This country is already fast losing
respect for the law and why
shouldn' It it when ever our highest
law-making members on a public
platform utter such sentiments. If
the nation loses respect for one part
OF the law, it will soon lose respect
for all. One section is no more sa-
cred than the other. The anarch-
lists of Chicago were hung for such
conduct and why a nasty, dirty,
fOul-mouthed, prejudiced red-neck
from South Carolina should be
given police escort and body pro-
lection to use such language in a
city that already has its share of
lawlessness is hard to see. The peo-
pic are beginning to see who the
Negro haters are and to love the
Negro better for the enemies he has
made.
The Colorado statesman., 1906-12-01

There were a number of promi-
nent Negro Republicans elected to
Office in Chicago on November 9th
Among them were the Honorable
Ferd l.. Barnett, Judge of the
Municipal Court, Oscar DePriest
county commissioner, and DIR,
Lane, member of the Legislature,
The Windy City is just awakening
to realization of what it means
to have-a Negro judge-and a
how'd of protest has been raised
from two sources. First from the
white people, when it was an
nounced that Judge Barnett would
not be assigned exclusively to the
trial of cases involving persons of
his own race. There is not to be
a jim-crow court in Chicago, but
Judge Barnett will take his share
of the calendar the same as other
judges.
But the Negro is not pleased
from the fact that Judge Barnett
ran behind on the ticket. They
claim that they have been voting
white men into office for forty
years and now to have white Re-
publicans scratch their candidate
does not square well with their 10y
atty to the party. There has been
much talk among the leaders in
Chicago of boiling the party and
electing their own men to Office in
wards where they have controlling

The A. T. Lewis and Son Dry Goods
Company has grown and fiourished
through the exact, attractive and hon
est advertisement of Mr.. ]. l.. Hunter,
who has every detail of the art of at
tention calling advertisements at hand,
and puts it where it is certain to

Mr. Hunter a quick, shrewd man of at

made as a test. 1t appears now
though that there is some prospect
of an attempted test. A petition
is going the round among the Ne
groes, calling for a contribution to
raise a fund to test the law. There
have been number of meetings,
and more are scheduled.
The worst phase of the situation
is that in some of the Negro
churches the opposition to the law
has assumsd a form that tends to
no good. Reputable men in the
city say their cooks have stated
that the names of all the signers
to the petition for the Jim crow or
dinances are read in Negro church.
es every Sunday morning and the
members of the congregation are
exhorted not to work for them.
Whether that report is true or
not, the fact remains that there is
at present more trouble in getting
Negro service in the household
than there has been in Galveston
for many months. Not only the
signers of the petition are without
help, but the Negroes seem to
have broadened the issue and
made it apply to the white race
generally. Some petition signers
state that their Negro cooks have
quite them without the semblance
of an excuse or word of explana-
ton.
The fact that it is cotton pick
ing season has no direct bearing
on the scarcity of Negro help in
Galveston, because the Negroes
here are not cotton pickers. 1t
has been stated without contradic-
tion for years, however, that an ac-
tive cotton season has an indirect
effect for that means busy time
on the wharf front.
1t is so common as to be almost
the rule here that the women work
in the summer time and feed the
men over the back fence, while in
the winter the tables are turned.
The men get plenty of work and
good wages on the wharves, and
hen the women quit work and the
men support them. OF course
there are numerous exceptions to
this rule, but there are enough in
stances of it's truth to establish it.
Added to the normal situation
now is the Negro resentment of
what is a poor substitute for a law
separating the races on the street
cars, the provision being that
white passengers take the vacant
seats nearest the front and colored
passengers take the vacant seats
nearest the rear.
