Shakespeare makes one of his char
acters say that 1t Is better to deserve
success than to merely have success.
So, In the incident of Roosevelt and the
cOlored soldiers; we have not sue
ceeded In getting reconsideration, but
the soldiers by their department under
the injustice and the race by the
manly, intelligent way 1t set about get
ting justice for them, have won the ad-
niration of those who love right An
incident which brought into full play
all the prejudice which exists in this
country has at the same time raised a
legion of friends. The criticism that
hac overtaken Roosevelt, the idol OF
the nation, because of few black SOL
dlers, shows fully that justice is not en-
tirely dormant, but is arousing herself.
Senator Foraker has won the admlra-
ton of Negroes by his stand, many
other statesmen have done good work,
ma the whole situation, black as 1t Is,
has shown that upon us rests the issue.
We can command the Endorsement of
honest men II we will deserve it. What
,ver others may think, The Statesman
'eels that this year is real year Of
thanksgiving for Negroes. We have
non our first great moral victory. We
can live through this piece Of petty
prescription of Rooseyelts as we have
through all that have embittered the
ears that are gone. But a sweeter
ision never crossed our dreams than
he tremendous uprising Of sentiment
or our prosecuted soldier boys. Let US
thank God fervently and keep Oh.

The appointment of w. J. Baker on
the police force coming so soon after
the appointment of Robert Russ on the
fire department, thereby increasing the
representation we have on the one so
per cent. and on the other % per cent
makes us pause to call attention to the
manner in which the Speer administra-
tlon has treated the colored people. 1t
has so long been the accepted belief
that worst that could be was better
than Democrats were willing to give
us; that we are usually biased in our
consideration OF officials OF that party.
We are slow to give them the credit
tina, is their due. Therefore, 1t is with
pleasure tina. The Statesman calls at
tcntion to these two appointments
Both come under the provisions Of civil
service, but the friendliness OF the ad
ministration is none the less eviden'
for it controls civil service. Chief OF
Police Delaney is entitled to credit sec
ond to the mayor and board Of fire and
police FOR the first named appointee
and 1t will be to his good offices tha'
the only other colored man to pass the
examination will owe his appointment
II he is named for the police force.
This treatment of colored people IL
in line with the action of the admins
tration at the time when complaint wa,
made that the dragnet system then II
vogue was working a hardship on ou
people. A quick relief was granite
from the system, and since that tim
there has been practically no complain
CT persecution from our people, Gel
tainly no more than Is usually mad
against every city police department
The fairness OF Chief Delaney has beer
such that no longer is the color ques
tion even thought OF when the arm OF
the law descends uDon a culprt.
We were about to add that II these
two would only turn Republican, we
could give them clear record. How
ever. 1t can be said In their behalf that
there is strong rumor that they gave
some aid and comfort to the Repub-
llcan ticket In the last election. We
congratulate the city OF Denver and It's
colored citiseus upon two such officials
as the mayor and his chief Of police.
