citizens are to be found, and that
the white population is free from
European slum adulteration and
that true Aryan blue blood flows
in every white mans veins in
South Carolina. But despite his
allegations the educational status
among the whites of South Carroll
na is at such a low ebb that a COM
pulsory school law is sadly in need
or lest an overwhelming majority
of her white citizens be overtaken
and devoured by the blue imps of
ignorance. More is the pity that
a compulsory school law is not
placed on the statute books i'm
mediately if not sooner.
The starting point about the
whole situation, however, is the
fact that, the law is not wanted be-
cause it would operate on the
Afro Americans the same as the
Anglo Saxon. So long as state
in this union of states or anywhere
else is so barrow and bigoted as to
carry class legislation on her stat
uate books, it will continue in the
damnable condition that South
Carolina is now in and will be
ruled over by such dangerous DEM
agogues as Tillman and his anar-
chistic cohorts. The history of
South Carolina ever since the es-
tablishment of the United States
independence has been one of
revolution, a refractory sister and
it will continue such until educa-
ton becomes more generally dis
seminated among the masses and
especially among the whites. The
Afro American, despite his sur
roundings, is struggling to educate
his children while the Anglo Saxon
is still grooping in ignorance the
same as he has been for the past
two centuries and we here predict
that many of these living in South
Carolina at this time will live to
see the state snatchod from its
present ignorant tyrants and be
ruled over by statesmen from
those who are now being oppressed
by the Tillmanic brigands and bor-
der outlaws. Seattle Republican

BISHOP TURNER'S ADVICE

In recent address Bishop FL.
M. Turner said:
II have more respect for the
devil than 1 have for some Ameri-
can people. There is no jim Crow
ism in hell. In this respect the
devil shows himself to be vastly
superior to many of our American
citizens.
81 am able TO pay as much fare
as anybody" he continued. 1T
is a travesty upon decency and
common justice that 1 should be
forced in dirty, unclean, poorly
ventilated car and at the same
time pay as much fare as the man
who rides in a clean, comfortable
and decent car.
1--WE must speak out against
these things. The world will
think we are satisfied with any,
thing forced upon us, unless we
strenuously object to all kind of
discrimination"

WHAT is SUCCESS2

A Boston firm recently asked
the question, "What constitutes
success?" and woman from Kan
sas got prize of $3.50 for giving
the following definition, which ev.
cry man should pin in his hat and
every woman frame it where the
eyes may gaze upon it during the
day. He has achieved success
who has lived well, laughed often
and loved; who has gained the re-
spect of intelligent men and women
and the love of little children; who
has filed his niche and accomplish
ed his task, who has left the world
better than he found it, whether
by an improved seed, a perfect
poe m, or a recued soul, VINO has
never lacked appreciation eff earth's
beauty or failed to express it; who
has always looked for the best in
others and given the best he had;
whose life was an inspiration;
whose memory a benediction. y

South Carolina VS.. Afro
Americans.
South

In beploring the fact that South
Carolina has not a compulsory ed
ucational law on her statue books
leading paper of that section
declares that, she has not and for
no other reason than that large
percentage of her population are
Negroes. In other words the
whites would be forced to send
their children to school, a thing
they do not now do. If the law
would not be equally effective as
to the colored folk, and the powers
that be do not want to educate that
class as they look upon them as
undesirable citizens. One would
suppose that the whites of the
state of Tillman are imbued with
two high and lofty purposes of
state to not eagerly educate their
children. Who wodld h ave thought
after having listened to a Tillman
trade that there was a single white
man in all South Carolina that
need to be even reminded that the
children must be sent to school.
Tillman declares that it is in South
Carolina where the ideal American

sumption scare" The physicians
say that it comes from not breath

SONS and we'll arranged windows.
Whether it is true or untrue, that
the death rate from this dreaded
disease is four times as great
among us as among the whites,
matters not, but it does matter
much if we fail to do our part to
prevent the spread of it in even
small proportions.
1t falls upon the women of the
household to see that certain rules

if doubt, consult your physician.
We all know that for the most
part our churches are very poorly

transom being open, then perhaps
after while, someone pulls down
a window with direct draft on
some one else, then of course, it is
closed again. The foul air has no
outlet, and the fresh air fails to
get in.
1t is useless to dispute with fact
and figures end try to console our
selves by saying that the whites
are dying with the assumption, too.
OF course they are, but that does
not keep US from dying or from
having a particular disease; neith-
er does it make it any easier to
bear because they have it.
Mothers should take special
pride in teaching their children
cleanliness and the benefits of good
health. You perhaps may not
have as much of this worlds goods
as some one else, but you can be
clean. Water is free and Board of
Health will gladly furnish soap to
those who are too poor to buy it.
AT Chicago last week number
of colored people met at Fullerton
hall, and an organized movement
to check tuberculosis among the
Negroes of that city was begun.
Perhaps other large cities may fol-
low, but do not wait for that, begin

ever you are employed. The bur-
den in this case as in most others
rests on the women and 1 am sure
they will not fail to carry it, with

THE NEGRO
Viewed by Ray Stannad Baker in His Magazine
Articles Following the Color Line

Ray Stannard Baker is following
the color line, as he calls it, through
the cities of the North; trying
to trace the fortunes of those Ne
groes who leave the Southland, and
try to better themselves in the
Northern industrial centers. Bak-
-er is one of the oest reporters there
is in the country, and his account
of what he sees on this quest is
not encouraging.
For while there may be less So
-cial ostrasism of the Negro in the
North than in the South, there is
a great deal more of economic dis
elimination. In the South, no
one questions the right of the Ne
gro to work at anything he pleases.
In the North there are many trades
absolutely closed to him. Many
unions will admit no Negro men,
bers; and thousands of Northern
employers will employ no Negroes.
Competition is fiercer and, though
the rewards are greater, there are
few Negroes who reap those re-
wards. Baker says truly that no
life on earth makes such demands
on mind and muscle as does the in
dustrial life of the great Northern
cities of America. The Negro
simply cannot come up to those in
dustrial requirements. Some do
of course; but they are exceptions
The story is told in the vital statis.
tics. In all the large cities the Ne
gro population is kept up only by
new arrivals from the South. The
birth rate is low, the death rate
terribly high; often twice and three
times as high as that of the whites
And Baker shows as well that
North, as well as South, the two
races are separating, drawing each
unto itself. 1t is the old law oi
segregation; and it is working as
beautifully as Herbert Spencer
himself could have wished.
What the end will be, the News
does net pretend to say. The race
problem is the greatest, most
heart breaking problem that fronts
America today; and no one who
has given it conscientious thought
dreams of dogmatizing as to the
solution. We only know that
while the black problem is with us
we shall do our uttermost to see
that no yellow problem is added to
our difficulties. This may be sci
fishness, or again it may be only
legitimate self. preservation. We
are not concerned to inquire

The Colorado statesman., 1908-03-07

They were armed men who held the
town,
Determined to crush its spirit down,
But they were met with ieers and
snubs
From men whose weapons we're but
clubs.
Who had no guns nor FURNISHED arms,
No flags nor scarlet uniforms.
But they were men who would not
kneel
Beneath naughty tyrant's heel
where is the man,"-the people cry
"Who is brave enough to fight or
die?
Well follow him and heed his call
And avenge his death if he should
fall"
Then like flash of lightning came
The words which set the shoulder
ing flame
or Independence, burning bright,
And terminated in fight.
A fleeing slave, dark skinned man
Said loudly:-"I will lead the van,
Here is the nest, strike at the root
And let the hated Red Coats shoot
Then glancing at the British line
He said:-"This day the ties which
bind
America to England's laws
Shall fall in twain for freedom S
cause"
On came the storm with fearful mien,
1t could be felt as we'll as seen.
One moment more of dire suspense,
With weapons clenched and muscles
tense
And Preston gave one short command,
Thus Boston massacre began.
"Strike at the root,'-brave Attucks
cried,
"Here is the nest,"-he soon replied,
"The musket balls and bayonets thrust
Our bodies through, fight on, we
must;
If you should fall, be not ashamed
To die ten deaths in Freedom S
name"
Fire! was the order second time,
Bang! went the guns all down the
line;
A lurid flame, a puff Of smoke,
Confusion reigned; the column
broke;
And on the ground the dark skinned
man,
Who maintained such stubborn
Against the Britons onward sweet,
Lay cold in death as if asleep.
The news that American blood was
Throughout the Nation quickly
spread;
1t filed all hearts with burning ire
And Freedoms patriotic fire.
"On to the field,'-the people cry
"On to the field to fight or die,
We will not wear Great Britain's yoke
Her course, she must at once revoke
Or meet us on the field" and then
The massacre was at an end.
With moistened eyes and measured
tread
They buried their heroic dead,
And over head they reared a stone
To tell to ages then unknown.
