the same truths from every side,
Fitche, Kant and Schopenhauer
in Germany, Berkley in England
and Emerson in America, not to
mention that noble succession of
mystics Eckhart, Boehme, Fludd,
Vaughn and Swedenborg who
echoed the esoteric teaching mixed
indeed with much alloy but none
scaling loftier heights, none plumb
ing more abysmal depths than
were measured 10y those gigantic
teachers of the past around whose
feet cluster the teachers and dis
ciples of the present. Those who
would test these statements need
only to study the worlds philos-
phies. There they will find the
same identity of fundamental con-
ception running through all the
non -materialistic thinking of the
world. This is true of the sciences
as well as of philosophy. We find
the beginnings of it in India in
astronomy, geometry and medi-
cine with psychology carried to
a point unapproached in modern
times.
In China, Greece, Egypt and
Chaldea science hourished and in
each of these nations applied
science left triumphs of engineer
ing skill at which onr punier world
still looks with amaze.
Today Crooks, Lodge, Balfour
and whole group of progressive
thinkers are pressing into the
deeper regions of psychology and
physics already mapped out by the
ersteric Philosophy and familiar to
its devoted students. For in science
as well as in religion and philos-
ply the knowledge of the psychic
and spiritual are necessary to COM
plete the whole body of truth and
by the study of it we may learn
what men shall know in the future
as well as that which they are
learning with toll and pain today.
One who undertakes to compre-
hend the secret laws of the New
Thought truth has long and in
teresting study but it is a profit
able and pleasant one and repays
for all of his research. Besides
acquainting him with the best
thought and thinkers of the past
it puts him into line with the
foremost thinkers of today. 1t
enables him to understand and ap-
preciate the currant literature of
the time which is pregnate with
New Thought ideas and sugges-
tions. In our next article we
shall speak upon the potentiality
of New Thought power and its
value to the individual and to
society.
The Colorado statesman., 1907-03-23

These articles are for the pres
ent simply an introduction leading
up to the study of the subject.
The avenues of approach to the
possession of New Thought power
are various. Some people reach
the consciousness of the psychic
and spiritual phenomena by
means of literary study, others
come into possession of its facts
through Philosophical research,
still others enter by scientific in
vestigations while not few ap-
proch it from a religious medita-
ton but whatever the manner or
method of approach, one thing is
necessary; there must be a real
consciousness of the psychic and
spiritual reality.
The spiritual world is Just as
true and just as real as the mater
ial and physical world and the
same degree of advancement can
be made in the knowledge of spirit
ual facts and forces as can be made
in the discovery and attainment of
natural truth and power. But
without the conscious realization
of this spiritual existence and
and your initiation into it one is
helpless and confused and in the
midst of intellectual fog and haze.
Man has lived SO long on the ply.
sical plane that they even deny
that there is spiritual life and
designate as mystical those who
even dare to proclaim this know
ledg of psychic known throughout
the ages.
AS rays from the sun, all indi-
vidual spirits flame forth from the
Great Mind; here is the source of
their being; here the central fire
whereof all are sparks. Hence
the underlying unity of all beings,
and as they approach nearer and
nearer to their eount, they come
nearer and nearer to each other.
The realization of this uuity of ORR
gin makes them see the Supreme
Soul in all things, all things in 1t,
and 1t in all things, thus the sense
of separateness is destroyed and the
Onesess is recognized as All.
The great sages of India pos
sessed this knowledge as did also
the great Plato who gave to Greece
and to the Western world the i'm
mortal teachings that have mould
ed the systems of modern thought.

Galveston, Texas, March s. An
attempt attack upon a prominent
young woman at Port Arther last
night has aroused the citizens of
southeast Texas and they are driv-
ing the Negroes from that section
and the oil fields. The assailant
was captured and horse-whipped
into insensibility, and would have
been lynched had it not been for
the sheriff and deputies getting
the man to Jail. This reused the
citizens, and they caught three
others who had expressed sympa-
thy for their associate, and whipped
them. Today three more Negroes
at Spindle Top were cowhided, and
warnings have been given in all
the oil fields of southeast Texas
that the blacks must go under PEN
atty of death.

The taking of testimony in the
Brownsville incident is proceeding
with unabated vigor before the
Senate committee on Military af-
fairs. The degree of Importance
with which the matter is still re-
garded may be judged by the fact
that practically the entire commit
tee is present at each session, al
though the Congress has adjourn
ed and most of the Legislators are
now scattered far and wide through
the length and breadth of the
country,
The testimony thus far is over
whelmingly in favor of the colored
soldiers. A number of witnesses
not identified with the company
under Investigation have furnished
strong evidence of the improbality
of the men themselves having done

view that citizens of the town or

John Temple Graves, who took

knocked down a few days ago on

1t will be good news to readers
of the COLORADO STATESMAN to
know that the Rhodes scholarship
of the State of Pennsylvania has
this year been awarded to Alain
Leroy Locke, colored young man
residing at 712 So. 18th street,
Philadelphia.
Mr.. Locke is a member of this
years senior class of Harvard Uni
versity and will graduate in June.
The will of the late Cecil
Rhodes, provides that color or re-
ligion shall have no bearing on the
selection of candidate.
When it is known that after
passing the examinations, which
were held at Lafayette College on
the 18th and 18th of January with
six others all white, the additional
tests of personal fitness and ap-
pearance, manliness of character
and popularity as student had to
be met, the achievement of Mr..
Locke cannot be to highly praised
or the honor he reflects on the
race too proudly considered.
Mr.. Locke has also distinguish
ed himself by taking the four year
Harvard course in three, which
emphasizes in no uncertain degree
his exceptionally fine mental
equipment.

The Colorado statesman., 1907-03-23


Scarcely day passes when in
one part of the country or another
additional manifestations are not
discovered of the increase of racial
prejudices. Try as hard as the
the most optimistic may to. believe
that the Negro is really making
progress towards a more happy re
lationship with the dominant race,
evidence to the contrary is con-
stantly asserting itself.
The latest demonstration of this
fact comes from Gen. Nelson A.
Miles Camp 81, S. w. v, when
Comrade M. II. Lowder, being
The Colorado statesman., 1907-03-23

called upon to address the men,
bers, said: "We will not and
must not recognize Negroes in our
organization. When the G.. A. R.
dies out, the Negro veteran soldier
organization associating with white
men also dies. We all have cause
for congratulation that at the last
national convention it was made
forever impossible for our
wives and sisters to be forced to
parade around a public hall carry
ing the National flag with Ne
groes."
Comrade Lowder and all of his
kind who think as he does has
seemingly lost sight of the grave
emergency which made Negroes
and white men comrades. He was
then probably quite contented that
the former should have his part
in the hardships of camp and field,
but like all that hide bound, unre-
generate class, he feels that in the
present condition of peace and
bountiful prosperity, the Negro
has no right to an equal enjoy
ment of its privileges.
oh consistency thou art jewel,
yet how infinitely poor doth the
petty meanness of narrow minds
make thee appear.
