bitton Colonel Ware, who knows her
family well, decided to ask for PEN
sion and give 1t to her.
The Ramsey and Ware families were
neighbors, and strong friendship ex-
lists between Colonel Ware and Miss
Ramsey's brother Norman, who fought
with Funston. Colonel Ware wrote a
poem about him, the first lines of
which read:
have got a wealthy neighbor
Who Is living without labor.
Who has cash and bonds and stocks and
asks me out to dine.
And have another neighbor
Living by the hardest labor,
Who's got a Twentieth Kansas boy out
on the fighting line.
There's no fun in being weary,
But IL you should put the query
Which Of those two peoples places would
you take? Well, opine,
Not the man that's got the money.
But the man that's got the sonny
Got the snorting. rip-cavorting boy down
on the fighting line.

Sister Of James Henry Smith May BE

The death Of James Henry Smith In
Japan while on his wedding tour made
his sister, Lady Cooper, wife of Sir
George Alexander Cooper, Bart, a fig

should inherit considerable sum from
her brothers estate, it would probably
make her the richest woman In the
world. She is already wealthy. She was

Henry and Mary Emma, were favor

recluse, George Smith, known as "Chi-
cago" Smith, who, though the owner OF
much property In this country, resided
for many years in England. He took
charge Of the expense of their educa.

bulk of his fortune. 1t is supposed
that James Henry and his sister each
received about $6o,0O0O0O from the
great estate OF their fathers cousin.

Sir George Cooper, who was hard

wife inherited her millions from .sChi-

NEGROES FLEEING

Norman, Okla. December l5.-
Threats of murder have been made
against members of a Negro colony
Ii miles north of Norman, on a
200 acre ranch owned by Dowd &
Cook, of this city, if they did not
leave and shots have been fired in
to their homes. Notices have been
sent by a ''Ku- Klan," who
style themselves "The Commun-
ity," and are causing CONSERVATION
in the colony. Anticipating a
night attack by the whites, the Ne
groes have armed themselves to re-
pei the expected attact Notices
have been posted on the Negroes
cabins and repeatedly left in their
mail boxes say that all the Ne:
groes' in the community will be
given until December % to gather
their crops and leave the country.
Norman has been without Negroes
since the opening of Oklahoma.
1t is an unwritten law that Negroes
do not stay in this town after the
sun goes down. A few have tried
to disregard the rule, but have
gone from here when the final
word of warming was given.

WANT TRAINING SCHOOL

Jackson, Miss, Dec. 14.-S. J.
Farrar, well known Negro educa-
tor, who for the past fifteen years
has been engaged in public school
work in the delta, has issued an
appeal to the members of the Miss
issippi Legislature to establish an
industrial training for Negroes in
that section of the state. He says
the Negroes want training, not So
cial equality. Farrar calls the at
tention of the lawmakers to the
fact that the bulk of the Negro
population in Mississippi is in the
delta and it is in that section
where they are employed almost
exclusively at agricultural pursuits.
He therefore, believes that they
should be given early training for
farm work, since it is to their vo-
cation that a majority of the men,
bers of the race must look for
livelihood. The State Negro In
dustrial School at Rodney, Farrar
says, is not accessible for many
boys who work in the delta.
The Colorado statesman., 1907-12-28
NO. II.

But the patience the Negro
needs! He may not even look
contempt. He must admit super
iority in those whose daily con-
duct to him is the clearest evidence
of moral inferiority. We sympa-
thetic whites, indeed, may claim
honor for him; if he is wise he will
be silent under our advocacy. He
must go to and fro self-controlled,
bereft of all the equalities that the
great flag of America proclaims-
that flag for whose united empire
his people fought and died, giving
place and precedence to the strang-
ers who pour in to share its bene-
fcience, strangers ignorant even
of its tongue. That he must do
and wait. The Welsh, the Irish,
the Poles, the white south, the in
defatigable Jews may cherish
grievances and rail aloud. They
may be historical, revengeful,
threatening, and perverse; their
wrongs excuse them. For him
there is no excuse. And all the
races upon earth, which has suffer-
ed such wrongs as this Negro
blood that is still imputed to him
as sin? These people who dis
dain him, who have no sense of
reparation toward him, have sin
ned against him beyond all meas

TRAGEDY OF COLOR

Whatever America has to show
in heroic living today. l doubt if
she can show anything finer than
the quality of the resolve, the
steadfast effort hundreds of black
and colored men are making today
to live, blamelessly, honorably and
patiently, getting for themselves
what scraps of refinement, learning
and beauty they may, keeping
their hold on a civilization they
are grudged and denied. They do
it not for themselves only but for
all their race. Each educated col
ored man is an ambassador to civil
lization. They know they have a
handicap, that they are not ex-
ceptionally brilliant or clever peo-
pie. Yet every such man stands,
one likes to think, aware of his
representatives and vicarious
character, fighting against foul
imaginations, misrepresentation,
injustice, insult and the naive un-
speakable meanness of base antag-
onists. Every one of them who
keeps deceut and honorable does a
little to beat that opposition down.

SENATOR FORAKER

The Philadelphia Tribune in its
last weeks issue, contributed a
lengthy editorial on a number of
presidential candidates for the Re
publican nomination. 1t suggests
the name of Hon. Joeeph Benson
Foraker as the most ideal man for
the place. Speaking of him it
says:
OF the list of candidates named,
none to our minds is more prophet
ic of success than the Joseph Ben
son Foraker. He would make an
ideal candidate. There is none in
the list of candidates named, who
is more conversant with the needs
of the country than he is, since he
has been a member of the Senate,
ne has taken an important part in
the discussion of every important
question that has come before the
Senate, and within recent years
there has been no law passed by
that body that does not in a mark
ed degree, bears the impress of his
facile mind. For breadth of char
acter or national matters that eff
feet the nations interests at home
or abroad, he has no superior. In
discussing the many important
matters that press upon the atten-
ton of the Senate during its ses-
sions, he surprises his most init
mate friends by the depth of his
researches. He stands for all
those qualities Of mind that unfor-
tunately the present executive
lacks. He has the confidence not
only of the people of Ohio, but he
has the unlimited support of the
business interest of the nation.
Having entered the ranks of pri-
vate in the late Civil War, he has
always been loyal to his comrades
in arms. He has the courage of
his conviction, ard dares to speak
in defense of right aud justice. He
incurred the enmity of Mr.. Roose-
velt on occount of his frank state
ments that the President was
wrong in several measures he de-
sired the Senate to pass. If Sen
ator Foraker becomes the nominee
of the Republican convention, the
party will have a winning candi-
date, who will sweep the country,
and who will direct the destiny of
the nation on safe lines. 1t is
mooted, that should Senator Fora
ker secure the nomination, that
the present administration would
endeavor to encompass his defeat.
The friends of the Senator have no
fear on that score, it will only
make them more painstaking in
the conduct of his canvass.

The Colorado statesman., 1907-12-28

From time to time in our discus
sing the phase of the so-called race
problem we have taken occasion to
remark that the white mans posi-
ton assumed towards the race was
due largely to being unacquainted
with the actual progress and work
of the Negro Notwithstanding
many have been the excuse for the
way the Negro is treated in this
country, yet there has nothing been
said to change our opinion, rather
there is much to confirm and
strengthen it. Somewhere, he have
heard it said that an explanation
was an apology. But in matter
of this kind to our mind explana-
tions are in order, and can hard
ly be constructed as an apology.
The sum and substance of some of
the writer's views against the Ne
gro, the Negroes are guilty OF helm
Gus offenses against white ladies',
that no Negro society, club, reli-
eious associations or organization
has condemned the awful crime for
which many Negroes have been
lynched, burned, fayed and bones
tucked away in sacred places as
sacred relics of crime that finds no
jurisdiction in Christian ethics.
We will not presume to question
the truth of this inference. The
white mans civilization in America
stands for itself. The American
Negro, his habits. tastes, desires,
ambitions etc., is product of the
same civilization. If he retains,
still, some of the instinct and prac-
tices peculiar for barbarians, after
the two hundred and fifty years of
American slavery with its enforce
immortality, and the forty-two years
of quasi freedom, no one, the Ne.
gro least of all, should be blamed
if he absolves some of the elements
of American civilization that has
nutured him.
In the great problem of making
citizens for a republic, the Negro
is not included. Isolated in other
religious life, enjoying back door
acquaintance with the political life
of the nation, the Negro is to be
congratulated, that in less than
forty-two years he has made pre-
ceptible advancement. In all these
forty. two years, the same patient
effort has characterized the Negro,
as during the darkest years OF
slavery. He has been making
character. The Negro has been
and is laying foundation for flu
ture racial development. The
