and his interests in the cause for
which he battled.
1t looks but natural. then, that
Negroes should look with an un-
wavering trustfulness towards one,
who in so ideal way has convinc-
ed them of his faithful interest
and consistent friendliness.
A generous and heroic action,
like virtue is its own and often
too, its only reward; and if per-
chance, an unkind fate shall with
hold from him a more substantial
recompense, still would his fame
be no less enriched and his name
forever stand a synonym of justice,
the broadcast patriotism and the

Address National Baptist Convention
at Washington. Entertains
Kansas Baptists.

Hon. w. T. Vernon, Register of
the United States Treasury, by in
vitation, addressed the National
Baptist convention at Washington,
D. G., few days ago, and among
other things said:
| am sure that it gives me great
pleasure to lay aside the duties of
my office to visit this most repre-
sentative body of men, who are
giving their lives to the cause of
education and the christianization
of our race throughout the world.

solidity of your leaders-the con-
servation of your presiding officer,
and the personalle of the active
forces Of this great body-the SER
ious minded men of this gathering
who feel the weight of the prob
lens before us-who see the du-
ties which lie nearest us and
are working with heart and
sorl toward the amelioration of
the untoward conditions now the
portion of our race.
am convinced that by the adop.
ton of right methods we are to
find better day for the American
Negro. All the elements of our
national life are moving toward an
improved condition. 1t is incon-
ceivable that in this era of pro-
gress, right should not triumph,
and Justice should not finally be
done to all the people,

church today eulogized Senator j.
B. Foraker and denounced as vul-
lures Senator Benjamin Tillman,
Governor Vardaman and former
Secretary Hoke Smith. He said:
"All the friends of humanity
are not dead, and in Ohio, so fam.
Gus for the production of men who
in the past have favored justice,
there live those who will never al
low the country's flag to trail in
the dust, or the principles for
which it waves go unheeded. Men
like Lincoln, Lovejoy, Sumner and
Garrison have their compliment
today in Senator Joseph B. Fora
ker, while there are three vultures
futtering over the country, but
their wings are being clipped. l
refer to Benjamin Tillman, of
South Carolina; Governor Varda-
man, of Mississippi, and Hoke
Smith, of Georgia. The Negro is
asking no special favors, neither is
he asking for sympathy. He is
only asking for opportunity and a
mans chance in the race of life"
When Foraker's name was men,
toned the e~big church rang with
cheers. A recollection was passed
today indorsing DIR. Joshua H.
Jones, President of Wilberforce
University at Xenia, as the choice
of Ohio to be elevated to the

ty that its carrying out necessarily
involves that righteousness which
exalteth nation"
When men understand that
their duties include the granting
of rights to their fellow men and
that the golden rule in affairs of
state, church and home is the only
rule which can be subjected to the
test of devine scrutiny, then shall
we see an era of greatness, in har-
mony with the divine purpose.
Governments are strongest which
live in the hearts of their subjects.
Patriotism is the outgrowth of an
intelligent appreciation of the
goodness and justice of human
government.
To educate the Negro to the full
appreciation of his rights and du-
ties, to insist upon a performance
of his duties ard to insure him his
rights will lead to the nearest pos
sible perfection in natl, aal effort,
and rapidly bring us forward to a
realization of the hopes of the most
sanguine dreamer who ever
wrought for the liberation of hu-
man kind.
So then, repeat, to ask for the
rights of a people, to educate them
to know and perform their duties
is the highest possible service
which this great convention can
render the American nation.
am in sympathy with you, and
have a feeling stronger than de-
nominational lines. We may not
all see alike on non essentials, but
on these essential things which
make for better day for the Ne
gro, all leaders must agree.
Worshipping the same God, pay
ing homage to the same Christ
alike and preaching His gospel,
working for and with struggling
race, we can but be united and
must work together. AS one hold
ing official position, 1 desire you
to feel me with you, at all times,
and consider me as everybody's
Register and with all men who de-
sire the uplift of the race, regrad-
less of denomination or creed.
Let us be hopeful and the years
which unfold will see the accomp-
lishment of our aims and the frui-
ton of the hopes of ten million
struggling people.

been thoroughly awakened, and as
a result a new Negro, alert and
ambitious, who knows his personal
limitations as well as privileges
stands forth, an undeniable factor
in the allignments which make the
success or failure of political par
ties.
The political infancy of a people
manifests itself in much the same
way as does the personal infancy
of the individual 1t is the season
of uncertain mood and action.
The tears of one moment are fol
lowed by the radiant smile and
ripping laughter of the next. The
painful paddy-whack loses much
of its sting and ache if followed by
candied plum or sugared cake.
In like manner the maturer
years of the race as of the individ-
ual demand consistency of treat
ment and insists that manifesto
tions of friendship should proceed
in an even way, unbroken by the
fitful filings of temper or malevol-
ence.
Subscribing to this principle,
the Negro places himself in ac-
cord with all other self respecting
peoples and issues a peremptory
challenge for a square deal and
consistent treatment.
A thoughtless or unkind act in
spires a desire for retaliation in
much the same way as it does in
other races.
On the other hand the loyal and
devoted friends, who are not afraid
to stand up for him at all seasons
and in all places, are woefully
scarce and he is therefore grateful
and anxious to prove his apprecia-
ton for all material kindness.
At this time the one stalwart
figure, which to the exclusion of
all others fills the political vision
of the Negro is that of Joseph
Benson Foraker.
Their regard for him partakes
more of the devoted reverence
which Grant inspired and which
the humble blacks SO freely gave.
He has captured the stronghold
of their affection in a most natural
way. Without compromise and
unfinchingly he has accepted bat
tie in their defense, has born the
contumely of his peers and the
malicious scorn of smaller minds.
The world has rarely seen a more
courageous championship.
The, essential element of true
heroism is selfeffacement, and
where else has there been one who
has SO completely buried himself

Oyster Bay, Sept. 14.-After
careful consideration Secretary
Loeb has decided to take to Saga
more Hill a novel present received
at the executive offices today. The
present, packed carefully in a pine
box and addressed to "The Honor
able Theodore Roosevelt" is the
tail of an African elephant, and
was forwarded by Ernest Lyon,
United States minister to Liberia.
The tail has been tanned and the
big hairy tassel on the end of it has
been treated with some chemical,
which makes it fluffy and soft.
Enclosed with the gift was letter
which explained that in the Afri-
can kingdom, from which the tail
was sent it was borne ahead of the
king, whose subjects along the
route kow-towed and smote them
selves on their breasts which sig
nifed obedience to the ruler.

only one sixth of the sum appro-

Special to CoLoRADo STATESMAN.

Special to COLORADO STATESMAN.
Everything points to an early
campaign and strenuous one.
The country is wide awake and
will throw itself into the battle
with greater enthusiasm than has
been known since the years immed-
lately succeeding the Civil War.
Then the issues clustered about
the Negro and the place he was to
occupy under the new order of
things. Now, after several decades
have written their history of efforts
for or against his progress as well
as the important part the Negro
himself has taken in the matter,
we find this allabsorbing subject
still in the forefront of unsolved
questions.
To-day, though the issue is
Just as clearly defined, it has
taken on somewhat of a diff
cult aspect. The personal attitude
towards subjects in which the Ne
gro is vitaIly interested, is going
to have an enormous influence in
determining the strength of candi-
dates for the Republican nomina-
ton.
From this view point the two
foremost names which must be con-
sidered are Taft and Foraker and
in the popular mind these repre-
sent the two extremes of racial
sentiment in politics.
The War secretary, however
much one tries to consider his can
didacy in hopeful way, labors
under the severe handicap of
standing for the wishes of another,
rather than for the promotion of
his own ambition and desires.
AS the administration candidate,
Mr.. Taft must shoulder a very
large burden of resentment on ac-
count of Brownsville which will
doubtless find an expression wher-
ever Negro ballots are cast and
counted in the next election.
To what extend the soothing in
huences of time will operate to
soften the animosities growing out
of that deplorable incident, the fu-
ture alone may tell. There are
many evidences that Negro char
acted, in its bearing and relation
to the serious matters affecting his
civic status in the Republic is
vastly different from the thing
which has invited the sneers and
ridicule of the thoughtful and in
telligent for more than forty years.
The manly attributes so long
smothered under the disheartening
influences of oppression and per-
secution seem at length to have

Only about so colored people

a race riot here last night at a
street fair, one young white man
named johnson was killed instant

from Tishomingo, an innocent by

The fight lasted for some time and
it seemed that the whites were
getting the best of it, when a Me-
gro walked up to young johnson,
placed a revolver at his breast and
deliberately shot him through the
body. In the excitement young
Negro, whose home was in Tisho-
mingo and who had not been TAX
ing part in the trouble, started to
run from the crowd and white
man pulled a revolver and killed
