ample, the Negroes are distributed
over territory of much greater
extent and of greater physical di-
versity than is true of the Aryan
race of Europe. They also differ
more than the Aryan races in gen.
eral appearance, in statue, physi-
ognomy, and mental and moral
constitution. Thence, to speak of
all Negroes in Africa as one race,
having common characteristics, is
as misleading and as unscientific
as if we should consider all Euro

MISTAKEN NOTION
THE NEGRO.
ABOUT

When the average European or
American white man thinks or
writes of the Negroes he considers
them as one race and attributes to
them certain traits which are sup
posed to be equally common to all
groups and localities. This is a
mistaken view and may be likened
to an attempt to class all the Al
yam peoples as homogeous race,
having common features and
traits. In fact, the Negroes of the
world, just as the Aryans, are
scattered over a great area, live in
different environments, and have
varied and opposite mental and
physical peculiarities. Indeed,
the Negro races of the world differ
from each other even more widely
than the different branches of the
Aryan stock. In Africa, for ex'

PATRIOTISM
Defined Spheres Denvers Most Intelligent Young
Men. He says Patriotism may in Many Respects
be Lkened unto Christianity.

, trouble with American patriotism
is that it is so one-sided that the
enemy who insults the flag is shot
down while the laws are allowed
to slump and be trampled upon
without the least emotion. If the
majesty of the law is once instilled
in the great American mind, the
people will then rise enmasse to
defend the law as they do the
flag and such things as corpora
tions rule the lynching bee and
! the stake will be things of the
past.
The most striking example of
patriotism we have is the life of
Booker T. Washington who never
served his country in the capacity
of soldier but by turning the
light of intelligence upon the ig-
norance and superstition of his be-
lated brethren he has done more
of a patriotic service than did
most of our great varies.
The thing that should inspire
patriotism is the justice of coun-
try's laws and its fair dealing with
its common citizenship. The pe-
culiar thing about America is that
the element of its citizenship, the
exact name of which has never
been determined but possibly you
will know who | mean when |
say, it is the element to whom the
flag gives the least protection but
which sings MY Country It's of
Thee" the most and the loudest in
its churches and convention halls
and always manage to get into the
thickest of the fight in war time
and fight the most furious.
This element has been conspic-
uous in every American war, it was
conspicuous under jackson at New
Orleans; in the days that tried
mems souls, the days of the bloody
civil strife he was none of the less
conspicuous and how this same
element fought like demons of San
Juan and won the day, will ring
down through the ages; it is still
giving its blood and life in the
Phillipines-for what? For the
flag that gives it the least protec-
ton.
When the squalid conditions
are viewed and the associated
press depicts in big red headlines
the heinous crimes commit ted by
some burly member of this ele-
ment the question is sometimes
asked if the boys of '63 who wore
the blue did not die in vain.
When L look at the onward march
of prejudice, the unfair play at
the supposed bar of justice.

porters now admit that some of the
soldiers, perhaps many and possib-
ly most of them, were not concern
ed in the affair either as principles
or as accessories.
The proper view of those who do
not aggree with the conclusions of
Mr.. Foraker and Mr.. Bulkeley was
exceedingly we'll expressed by Sen
ator Fulton
"While l became satisfied be-
yond any question in my own mind
that this shooting was done by
some few members of this organi-
zation, yet there is absolutely no
proof whatever of the Identification
of any individual, and l cannot
bring my mind to concent to the
proposition that because some few
may have been guilty that all of
these members who were unques-
tionably innocent should be made
to suffer. Nor do / believe that
the burden of proof should be put
on them. This is Repayment to all
of the laws which we have looked
upon as necessary for the protec-
tion of individual rights and iber-
ty of the individual. l think that
where they purge themselves by
making a proper affidavit, disclaim-
ing any connection with the affrey,
they should be allowed to re-inlist." :"
This is precisely the substance
of the Foraker bill for the rein
statement of the soldiers and the
correction of their records. That
bill carries a provision that if at
any time after re. enlistment any
evidence be offered indicating the
guilt of any of them nothing in
the restoring act should be con-
strued as preventing prosecution
and trial under civil law or by
couI t-martial.
Such course might offend Mr..
Roosevelt's pride of opinion, and
it may seem to some of his support
ers and adherents a disagreeable
backdown. 1t is certainly in the
line of right and justice, and we
hope there is no man in the United
States Senate who lacks the cour-
age to act justly or to do what is
right.
AS we see the matter, no Sena-
tor can afford to become a party
to a crime so offensive as that of
punishing innocent men simply
because of the utter failure of both
civil and military legal machinery
to defect the guilty.-New York
Sun.
The Colorado statesman., 1908-05-23

According to our best authority
patriotism is the love which one
has for his country; the passion
which aims to serve ones country
either in defending it from inva-
sion or protecting its lights and
maintaining its laws in vigor and
purity.
Patriotism may in many respects
be 1ikened unto christianity in
that it covers so much ground and
that there are so few who may real
III be called patriotic from all
A word of cheer and
pleasant smile here, little deeds
of kindness there and willingness
at all times to make great sacrifices
for mankind and the kingdom are
truly characteristic of the Chris
tian life whereas the patriotic citi-
zen is characterized by his motives
and his efforts to make good citi-
zens out of the bad, by training
the youth along right lines and
by being ever ready to answer his
country's call whether this call be
to arms at the sacrifice of home
and family and possibly life or
whether it be call in some civil
pursuit with a sacrifice of large
income. 1t is the object of the
Christian to bring about the me-
linium, it is the object of the pa
triot to bring to reality the Utopia.
There are two principal ways in
which one may show his patriotism.
The frstis by defending it against
invasion and putting down REBEL
ion. When foreign country in
suits the American flag, congress
if not in session hastily assemblies
at the call of the president and de-
mands through an ultimatum re-
traction of the insult and if this
ultimatum is not complied with,
war is declared and the news is
flashed over the country like light
ming and million men spring up
as one man and offer their services
to save their country's honor.
They march to the battlefield and
freely give their blood and life.
Greater patriotism hath no man
than this that he lay down his life
for his country may we'll be said
of those who sacrifice their lives
for the flag, but that is not all Of
patriotism for equally as patriotic
is the man who shows his patrio.
tism in the second principal way,
by maintaining the constitution
and assisting in enforcing the
law.
There is no country on the face
of the earth with as good and
great constitution or with better
laws than the United States of
America and there is no country
on the face of the earth whose con-
stitution and laws are violated like
they are in America. The great

rather well. Within few days of
the issue of his letter the mayor
found that it had had the effect of
attracting to the Rand out-of-
works from other parts of the sub
continent, and he promptly de-
clared that there was no work here
for newcomers. And a few weeks
ago he called a town s meeting to
consider what could be done to
find employment for Johannes
burg's poor white people, who are
variously estimated to number be-
tween 5000 and $1,000 people.
The measures suggested in the
majority report of the Transvaal
mining industry commission if
adopted, would go a long way
toward remedying the evils from
which the Gold Reef city is now
suffering, but, unfortunately, they
have been ignored or interpreted
in such way as to nullify them. :
The commission boldly tackles
the problem, which is the gravest
of all South Africa s problems
the future Of the white race in the
subcontinent. The curse of South
Africa is the past, and its gravest
danger in the future is the policy
of relying upon colored labor. Two
and half centuries ago the Dutch
council at the Cape decided that
slave labor was preferable to white
labor. 1t was resolved that the
basis of South Africa should be col
ored labor. That policy has never
changed to this day.
If the only opening for the white
man is that of supervisor of col
ored labor, then obviously the more
colored laborers there are to super
wise, the more white men can fina
billets. Logically, then, there is no
objection to Indians or Chinese or
natives from Mozambique or Ma
laya, or any other part of the
globe. Throw the land open to
them, and the more there are the
more white men will there be. If
prosperity means colored labor,
then let us have as much colored la
Dor as we can possibly get. But i'll
these conditions the colored man
must inevitably encroach upon
the skilled labor market.
The report of the mining industry
commission boldly recommends the
adoption of the white labor policy.
But it does not, as one would imag-
inc from the perusal of some of the
local newspapers, urge that the ma
tives of British South Africa
should be prohibited by law from
competing with the white laborer.
1t does not place a premium upon
the white man. With the exception
of a recommendation that one
white man should be employed
upon every machine drill in the
mines, all that it asks for is fair
and open competition, both for the
white worker and the native of
British South Africa.
The commission demands that
the premium placed upon the en-
ployment Of colored men should
not be maintained by the state. 1t
declares that the Transvaal ought
not to be flooded with indentured
labor from other lands while the
white population is diminishing
and thousands of people are suffer
ing acute privation. 1t proposes
to stop gradually the Importation
to Portuguese natives and to get rid
of the native pass law The effect
of these measures would be that the
labor supply of British South At
rica would have to be drawn from
British South Africa, and that the
native would be free laborer
like the white man. These steps
would admittedly produce scare
ity of native laborers, and thus the
white man would be in more de-
mand.
