Among the large number promo
tions in the Treasury Department
this month was one that deserves
more than a passing notice, that
of Wolsey W. Hall whose promo
ton to $1,000 salary shows what
an ambitious young man may ac-
complish, even in the face of SEEM
ingly insurmontable obstacles.
Mr.. Hall is a native of this city
and after graduating from the pub
lie schools received an appoint
ment to a small place in the service
at $500. Desiring to get ahead
but being barred from taking an
examination for a clerkship, by
reason of not havinga legal resi-
dence in one Of the states, he ap-
piled himself diligently to the
study of stenography and type
writing.
Jealous in the prosecution of his
studies, he secured the services of
several teachers and devoted all of
his spare time to the study. A lit
tie more than year ago he felt
competent to enter to competitive
examination for stenography and
typewriting, passed with high
average and a little later on re-
ceived the offer of five different
positions in the service, the salar-
les ranging from 100 to 1000 dol
lars. The latter offer came about
two weeks ago and rather tnha lose
so competent an employe, the De-
partment has just promoted him to
that salary and SO retains his GER
vices.
Mr.. Hall is assiduous in his at
tention to duty, possesses a super
ior mental equipment and is of at
tractive personal address. With
these qualifications, larger sphere
of usefulness doubtles awaits him
During the recent session OF Con-
gress he performed the duties of
stenographer and typewriter to a
prominent member of that body.
Ability, application and integri-
ty are the essentials without which
recognition cannot be expected.
Having these the opportunity will
The Colorado statesman., 1907-08-10
surely come.

The problem of domestic service
is one that in some form vexes a
majority of American communi-
ties. 1t is problem that is al
most wholly unknown in other
countries, probably for the reason
that class divisions are usual and
natural and are accepted as an es-
sential part of the life of the coun-
try. Each citizen, high or low,
rich or poor has his place in the
general economy and it is fixed as
unalterably as if by the laws of the
Medes and Persians.
Domestic science is there con-
sidered necessity and highly re-
spected institution. The people
who recruit the ranks of domestic
help, frequently succeed by inheri-
tance to household posi-tin which
have long been regarded as an es-
pecial right of the family.
Long and honorable domestic
service is there a kind of patent of
responsibility, which is thought
and spoken of with pride and deem
ed worthy of the widest emulation
Now, how stands the case on
this side the water? A strange
contrast is presented to say the
least. Not only is it considered
demeaning to work in the family
of another but it is known that al
most any other means of livihood
will be adopted to avoid such en-
ployment.
A moments careful thought of
this question will show how inter-
ly foolish is the attitude of those
who subscribe to and entertain
these preiudices.
The same conditions as to class
do not obtain in this country where
the aggregate is composed of equal
individual atoms, which as Mr..
Garfield once said "are rather like
the drops of the ocean, where each
is free to mingle with all others
and may shine one day on the
crest of the highest wave"
The rapidity with which the con-
dition of ihe individual changes in
America is little short of marvel
GUS. The waiter or yardman of
twenty years ago is frequently the
manager or proprietor of the great
hotels of today; the maid of all
work but little while ago reflects
quite naturally the refinement of a
former mistress and with perfect
ease and charming grace is now
become the center of home circle
of her own. The transition is SO
effective, 80 complete-the illusion
is SO satisfactory, that we almost
doubt the fact, that we once knew

West Chester, Pa, July 30
Geo his Thomas, colored, who shot
wife here Sunday and then fled,
was traced to barn near this city
last night by a posse. He refused
to surrender and shots were ex-
changed. At daylight Thomas
was found dead in the haymow
with a bullet hole in the temple.
1t has not yet been determined
whether he shot himself or was
killed by bullet fired by one of
the posse.

The Times, paper published
by white men at Terrebonne, La,
has the following to say on the
Negro problem:
Not the least difficult part of the
Negro question is the white mans.
If all the white men could be made
to do right, it would not be so hard
to manage the Negro. Let us get
that truth very firmly fixed in our
minds. 1t will help us very great
ly in solving the Negro question,
so far as we of this generation are
able to solve it. What we mean is
this: Stop the white man from
filing the Negro with mean whisky,
stop the white man from stealing
from the Negro through so-called
loans and exorbitant interest, stop
the white man from overcharging
the Negro at the stores, stop the
white man from brutal treatment
of Negro laborers, stop the white
man from immoral relations with
Negro women and you will have
gone far toward solving the Negro
problem.

Sixty years for the South to be
without man in the White House
is pretty long time. 1t cannot
be doubted that there are as smart
men in the South as in any other
part of our country, but the Amer
ican people are not yet willing to
place men in our highest positions
simply because they are smart.
The South as a whole will have to
charge its attitude toward the Ne
gro before men will be able to get
the concent of their minds to place
one of its number at the head of
the nation, but the time is not yet.
The South is not yet content to
take the heel of oppression from
the necks of her black citizens.
The spirit of fair play does not yet
obtain in our midst. White men
as rule will not hands off where
there is a struggle between a white
and black man. There is no
place is this section where they
will not double team on black
man. The North has gotten be-
yond this stage of barbarity.
They have spirit of fairness to
hands off and see white and a
black man fight to finish. Let
the South concede fair play to all
men and there will be no gift at
the disposal of our grand republic
that will not come to them without
the asking.-lndependent.

them in a very different station.

30 IL is domestic service lii
America, it seems to us, should not
be the thing of horror it is quite
generally considered. The prive-
leges enjoyed are rather on the
increase and there are the solid
comforts of the home which must
of necessity be shared and tho al
most total freedom from expense,
all of which combine, it would
seem to make such places not only
desirable, but positive benefac-
ton.
This question, however, aside
from it's general Importance,
should have peculiar interest for
the Negro.
Domestic service is the one field
more largely occupied by him
than any other.
The influence for good accruing
therefrom are probably second to
no other. The benefits are sub
stantial and the inspiration whole
some. 1t is noticed however that
the calibre of those employed in
domestic service has undergone
an almost complete transforma
ton. Especially is this true of
the larger cities. The former old
time servants with their traits of
careful honesty, scrupulous neat
ness, pride in the knowledge and
performance of their duty, scorn
of shiftlessness and unfailing self
respect are rapidly disappearing.
A new and rather disappointing
class is gradually taking their plac
es. With these the need of the
moment is the only consideration
Their own convenience the only
thing to be consulted.
The idea of thrift, of a future
day. of better position and more
money, the ultimate comforts of a
home of their own and the rewards
of good citizenship. are considered
with Indifference or else wholly ig
nored. Complaints from house
holders are continual and would
seem to indicate that few domestic
propositions are more difficult than
that of securing even a tolerably
good Negro servant.
AS result this avenue of re
spectacle and fairly reuumerative
service is gradually being closed to
Negroes in many parts of the coun-
try and their places taken by those
of other races who are quick to dis
Germ the many advantages attach
ed thereto-not the least of which
is the facility with which they may
graduate into some more congenial
and indepedendent occupation.
AS regards the question of ac-
cepting service with respectable
and we'll o.do Negro family-such
thing is not TO be thought of and
would't be considered for a mo.
ment by one percent of those who
live by means of domestic service.
