A Doctor of Divinity, now Editor OF
a well-known Religious paper, has
written regarding the controversy be-
tween Golfers Weekly and the Re-
ngious Press of the Country and 9TH
ers, including ourselves. Also re-
garding suits for libel brought by
Golfers against us for commenting
upon its methods.
These are his sentiments, with
some very emphatic words left out.
"The religious Press owes you a
debt Of gratitude for your courage in
showing up Golfers Weekly as the
~Yel-Oh Man" Would you care to
use the inclosed article on the Boo
Hoo Baby" as the "Yell-Oh Mans"
successor"
"A contemporary remarks that Col
Hers has finally run against a solid
hickory post and been damaged in
its own estimation to the tune of
$3.50, 100000"
"Here is a publication which has.
In utmost disregard OF the facts,
spread broadcast damaging state
ments about the Religious Press and
others and has suffered those false
statements to go unccntradicted, I'M
til, not satisfied after finding the Re
Hgious Press too quiet, and peaceful,
to resent the insults, it makes the
mistake Of wandering into a fresh
field and butts it's ratified head
against this Post and all the World
laughs. Even Christians smile, as
the Post suddenly turns and gives
it back a dose of it's own medicine.
ut is a mistake to say all the
World laughs. No CHEEKY laugh
comes from Golfers, but it cries and
boo hoos like spanked baby and
wants $3.50, 100000 to soothe its ten
der, lacerated feelings.
Thank Heaven it has at last
struck a man with back bone"
enough to can spade spade" and
who believes in telling the whole
truth without fear or favor"
Perhaps Golfers with its utmost
disregard for the facts, may say no
such letter exists. Nevertheless 1t is
on file In our Office and is only one of
q mass Of letters and other data,
newspaper comments, etc, denounc-
ing the yellow" methods Of Golfers.
This volume is so large that a man
could not well go thru It under half
a days steady work. The letters
come from various parts Of America.

not interesting to the public, but this

Golfers has been using the @yel-

on the Religious Press and on medi-
cines.
We leave it to the public now, as
we did when we first resented Col
ier's attacks, to say whether, in a
craving for sensation and circulation,
its attacks do not amount to a sys-
tematic mercenary bounding. We

PULSE-BEATS.

The Western Enterprise, edited
by Eugene P. Booze of Colorado
Springs, contained the following
very timely editorial in its last
weeks issue:
Political developments, national
and local, are acquainting party
leaders and candidates with what
must seem to them, astounding
facts in regard to the Negro's po-
litical mind. He has never been
given credit for thinking or for
doing much in the way of drawing
comparisons. "Blindly Republi-
can" has been the. Negro's denom-
ination, and this is largely true as
between Republican and Demo-
|crat, but where the rub comes is
in struggles between Republicans
within the party. Contending SEN
timents for Roosevelt, Taft, For
aker, etc., illustrate this nationally
and the approaching campaign in
this state is going to open many
Colorado eyes to the same condi-
ton.
Negro leaders and journals have
repeatedly given warming of the
Negroes awakening to his party
worth and interests and have de-
clared that he is too cheaply held
by those directing affairs. Little
heed has been given this, and they
continued on in fancied security.
Nevertheless, it is fact which
an early future is going to uncover,
that the Negro is awake and on
the alert, and is going to throw his
strength where there comes near
est being a just recognition of his
services.
1t has about reached the point
that the Negro has decided to live
politically as well as otherwise,
in the present and future, and not
SO much in the past. Experience
is finally about to make even the
black man wise.

r1LLMAN AND THE NEGRO.

TILLMAN AND THE NEGRO.
The following editorial appeared
in the Rocky Mountain News of
October 28th.
The News does not hold the
opinions, or rather prejudices,
which Senator Tillman voices on
the race question. But FIVE held
each and every one of the senator's
tenets we should still protest in the
sharpest manner against his speech
in this city Friday evening, and
against all other speeches of the
same character.
For whatever be the proper So
luton of the race problem-and
The News has none to offer-it can
assuredly never be settled by any
appeal to the prejudices, the pass
ions, the baser instincts of our ma
ture. And Senator Tillman's
speech, from start to finish, appeal
ed to nothing else. There was not
one word of scientific marshalling
of fact, nor one sentence that
showed the slightest care for the
thruths of history, not one that
seemed to recognize that in prob
lem dealing with human beings,
the moral aspect of the case must
be considered. No. 1t was a
mere trade of abuse, invect;ve and
insult; abuse and insult not only
of the Negro race, but of all who
venture to dispute the gospel of
Tillman on the destiny of the sons
of Canaan. Senator Tillman con-
demns the Negro preacher whose
half crazy rhapsodies rouse the
passions of his race, and set them
beating with futile hands against
the unbreakable wall of white do.
minion. And in this, he does
rightly. But what condemnation
does that man deserve, who, with
all the centuries of Caucasian cul-
ture and discipline behind him.
goes to and fro in the land making
speeches as intemperate, as violent
as much melting to blood and riot
as any that can be laid to the most
The Colorado statesman., 1907-11-02

"If every white man who has
outraged Negro women had been
put to death. I doubt if a one-eyed
Tillman would be disgracing a
seat in the United States senate.
"In many cases tPe Negroes
whom the senator says are put to
death by white men for assaulting
white women are their own chill

white man.

ignorant blacks of the South ?
And such is Tillman, as his own
words abundantly prove. He is
doing all in his power to rouse a
hatred that shall make justice and
decency impossible, and that, in
defiance of law and right and the
plainest expediency, shall bring
the great, complex, terrible, heart
breaking race problem to the arbi-
trament of power.
1t is crime and a blunder in
one-and both are colossal.
We do not know whether Till
man has posed SO long with a
pitchfork in his hand that he feels
compelled to make hay of sense
and decency, for the sake of being
consistent, or whether his preju.
dices on this subject have finally
and completely obcessed his reas-
on. But this we do know: that he
is showing himself as dangerous
an enemy to his own race as to the
blacks whom he lashes so bitterly;
and if the race problem is ever
brought to satisfactory settle
ment, it will be in spite of the
Tillman TRADES, not because of
them.

A few days ago at the Frisco
tracks in Fort Scott, Kans, was
the biggest man in the world. He
is known as Baby Jim" Simmons,
Negro, who weighs $50 pounds.
There are but few who will believe
that any human being could attain
such great weight unless they
CHANGED to see this mastodon. One
glimpse at the monster, however,
allays all doubt as to the mans
enormous physical proportions.
Every one who saw his massive
ness went away telling himself
that the Negro weighed nearer a
ton than the weight before given.
"Jim" Simmons was accompany
ing w. r. MacBurnett, a theatric-
al circus man, to st. Joseph. The
monster lives at Beaumont, Texas.
He occupied the two seats in the
smokerand slept all the time from
early morning until 8 o'clock !;
though there was constant stream
of people scrambling through the
car to see him. Efforts to wake
the Negro were unsuccessful. He
remained there snoring loudly and
also breathing heavily. Finally
his manager came through the car,
cleaned out the curious ones and
took his big one to the vestibule
to give him an airing. A newspa-
per man was admitted to converse
with the mastodon for few min
utes. Simmons said he was 20
years of age, that his parents were
both small, though his grandpar-
ents each weighed over the 300
mark. He says he does not eat or
drink any more than the average
sized man, and that he enjoys the
best of health, his heart behaving
in a most satisfactory manner He

Rev. DR.. Alzamon Ira Lucas, the
man of whom Rev. II. w. Pinkham
said Senator Tillman was unfair
to, replied to Tillman in a
three and one-half hours speech,
October 29th, in the Howe hall,
which was crowded to it's fullest ca
pacity.
The very able and logical man
ner in which he defended the
black race was highly appreciated
by the audience, which applauded
him vigorously. Doctor Lucas is
quite well posted on the race prob
lem and offered many wise sug-
gestions for its solution, and from
the Judgment of the unbiased indi-
vidual, Senator Tillman s views on
the race problem was clearly shown
that prejudice was his only foun-
dation. In the course of his adj
dress, Doctor Lucas was interro-

The Rocky Mountain News of
last Sunday, Oct, 9th, contained
two communications replying to
Senator Tillman's lecture delivered
at the First Baptist church in this
city, October 25th. Roy E. Handy,
one of Denver's brightest young
men, ably defended the Negro in a
lengthy and logical article. which,
for lack Of space, forbids US to re-
produce. The other by S. FL.
Hobson, is as follows:
ITO The Rocky Mountain News:
mo one who heard Senator Ben
Tillman at the First Baptist
church last Friday night was sur
prised at his radical remarks on
the race question, for he has long
since realized that to gain notorie-
ty he must confine his language to
the abuse of the Negro, for which
he generally makes a ''hit" at least
with those of the low type of hu-
manity. He spoke of the outrages
on white women by black men and
asked, Does anyone wonder that
we kill Negroes?'
"Senator Tillman, the one-eyed
Negro hater, has no doubt forgot
ten that for nearly two and a half
centuries the white man preyed
upon the virtue of black women of
the South. He has likewise for
.etten that while the Southern
white man was fighting against the
flag under which he now enjoys
liberty that their wives apd daugh-
ters were left in the care and un-
der the protection of black men,
and case is yet to be reported
where the Negro has betrayed a
single trust.
"Yes, and it was the Negro that
responded to the call of the nation
and helped win the victory in the
civil war which made this country
united republic and broke the
shackles which bound the black
man in hellish bondage for $50
years.
I'm his opening remarks, the
senator said: i am a white man s
white man. I do not wish to mis-
construe his meaning. but the quo
tation is strong vindication of
the Negroes lust for white woman.
You cannot find white man (even
though born of Negro woman
that is not white mans white
man. You can also observe that
there are plenty of Negroes that
are offsprings of white men.
Which is the worst destroyer of
woman's virtue, the black. man or
white manP Evidence answers
the question without argument.

gated a number of times by a
Tillman admirer, and the salts
factory and gentlemanlv manner
in which his questions were an
swered by the speaker, proved con-
clusively that the hatred that exists
in the hearts of some people
against the Negro is wholly and
solely on account of his color AT
the close of his address, Doctor Lu-
cas- was heartily congratulated and
commended.
We will but add that Doctor Lu-
cas- has won a warm place In the
hearts of those who believe in jus

of race creed or color.

to know that Doctor Lucas has de-
cided to repeat the same address
especially to all the darker races
in the near future.

Andrew Carnegie and Lord
Rosebery gave to big audience
at the Philosophical Institution,
Edinburgh, their views on the Ne
gro problem in the United States.
Mr.. Carnegie strongly championed
the Negroes, contended that the
Negro was a saving man, with
land hunger, and repudiated the
idea that the Negro is lazy. The
question used to be what can be
done with the Negroes, but now it
is how more of them and other
workers can be obtained. The
Negro has become of immense
economic value and is indispensi-

admitted that the Negro problem
