PARDONED

Canon City, Colo, Jan. 1.-On
the 45th anniversary of the eman-
cipation of the Negro by Abraham
Lincoln, Governor Buchtel today
issued the New Year pardon to
William Freeman, colored, known
on the register of the penitentiary
as No. 5652.
Freeman is blacksmith and was
sentenced to the penitentiary for
an indefnate term of 10 to 20
years from Trinidad by Judge
Northcott, of the Las Animas dis
trict court, for murder in the sec
ond degree in 1903.
Previous to the deed which sent
him to the penitentiary Freeman
had enjoyed an excellent reputa.
tion and since his incarceration
has been a model prisoner. Under

1t is reported in Paris that there
is much alarm here among the
white population at its defenseless
condition in case of a Negro up
rising, The situation is most
acute as regards imminent danger.
The inquiry into the riots of last
April has been hushed up to screen
an official seeking popularity. The
canse of the discomfort and the
formenters of racial hostility re-
main unrevealed. The class ami
mostly on the island is unabated,
but the sullen official policy mini
mizes the gravity of the situation
as to local defense. The blacks
outnumber the whites fifty to one.
The community can not rely on
three obsolete war ships here,
which constantly require docking,
and are never where they are need
ed, being away policing the New
foundland fisheries and voyaging
from Halifax to Demerara, their
absence suggesting opportunities
for lawlessness. There is a feeling
of insecurity among property own
ers irrespective of color. Trouble

may break out afresh at the first
favorable opportunity it is feared.
GREAT is FORAKER

Joseph Benson Foraker may or
may not be the next President of
the United States. Be that as it
may, he will go down in history
alongside the immortals contribu-
ted by America to that galaxy that
were not born to die.
Orator, statesman, soldier and
patriot, he is greater than his party,
grander than his country; the soul
of honor; the mind of Napoleon,
with the heart of Lincoln; the
faith of John Brown, the zeal of
Garrison and the wisdom of Wen-
dell Phillips.
The Republican party to him
owes more than it is able to pay;
perhaps it will be willing to do
what in its power lies. Ohio loves
and honors him, and calls him
prince among her sons. The ma
ton has come to know him as a
patriot in whom there are both zeal
and courage. This record is rich
enough, but the recent months
have revealed him in another light,
and everywhere men are rising to
say: "We never knew him be-
fore" And so they did not.
The great crowd of loyal Negro
Republicans in the West and
North have testified that, while
they will support whosoever their
party names to run the race set
before us, they did neither halt
nor doubt, if Foraker were chosen
for the contest. They love him,
honor him, and follow him. A de-
light they find in him, and are not
afraid to name him their choice.
1t is well that this is so, for who
has talked about Liberty, and
championed Freedom as he has
done? Who? There is not even
an echo to the query.
Foraker-why not crown him
with the prize he has won by a
life of unbroken patriotism, wheth-
er in war or in peace? Why not?
Advocate, Charleston, w. Va.

Insurance Department of Colorado.

Public information:-The cor
respondence and inquiries from
policy holders and others request
ing information or assistance from
this department is constantly in
creasing. Some of these are re-
quests for the depar ment to assist
in collecting disputed claims from
companies. While the commiss-
ioner has no authority to require
companies to pay claims, such
power being vested solely in the
courts, he is glad to furnish any
information or assistance that is
consistent and proper to secure
just and fair treatment for claim
ants. 1t does rot matter how
small the policy or how apparently
unimportant the inquiry all are
entitled to and receive pr ,mpt and
respectful consideration. All WE'LL
grounded complaints of this ma
ture are brought to the attention
of the company, and are of value
to this department in determining
the company's policy in adjusting
claims.
During the past two years the

unsafe and unreliable insurance
companies and number of others
have been induced to abandon GER
tain unfair methods in dealing
with the public. Under the new
insurance laws the license of
number of solicitors have been re-
voked for Misrepresentation, and
for bearing bad characters and rep
utations, and the supervision over
agents, solicitors and brokers' has
been effectively strengthened. In
order to assist the department in
continuing this much needed i'm

lection of the public, it is of the
utmost Importance that all dishon-

tices be promptly reported to this

What will be of much interest
to the civilized world is the dis
covery of a new saying by the Sa-
vior according to the following
dispatch:
Chicago, Dec. 30.-A new say
ing of Christ, lost to the world for
1900 years, and found in Egypt,
was given to the world for the first
time to-day by Professor Henry A.
islanders of the University of Mich
s's.ssss,.>ln, addressing the members of
!, q archaeological institute, now
in session at the University Of
Chicago. The fragment is part of
an old Bible dating back to the
Moslem conquest of Egypt, and on
its face is SO authentic as to dis.
arm hostile criticism.
The long-lost fragment belongs
to the sixteenth chapter of the
Gospel of st. Mark, and follows
the fourteenth verse. 1t relates
the story of Christ's appearance,
following His death, to eleven of
His apostles in Jerusalem.
Professor Sanders declared that
the found manuscript also
contains what is known as the
liturgical ending of the Lords
prayer. The text was found, he
said, by Charles l.. Free of Detroit,
who was searching in Egypt for
additions to his collections.
The new-discovered manuscript
is supposed to follow the fourteen
tn verse of the sixteenth chapter
of ST. Mark and reads as follows
"And they answered, saying that
this age of unrighteousness and
unbelief is under the power of Sa,
tin, who does not permit the
things which are made impure by

Inc following dlSpatch from
Trinidad, Colo, reveals the fact
that E. T. Ferguson, a highly re-
spected Negro of that place who
was arrested on suspicion of be-
ing connected with murder has
been released:
Trinidad, Colo, Dec. BE. T.
Ferguson, the Negro, who was in
Jail on suspicion of being implicat-
ed in the murder of Willie Leary
was released this morning, no evil
dence having been secured to con-
meet him with the crime.
Up to late tonight the sheriff
had not heard anything from Bill
ings, Mont, to confirm the story
told here by Santa Fe brakeman
that Martin, the cripple who is in
in Jail here on suspicion, had been
arrested for investivation in con-
nection with the murder of a boy
at Billings in June, 1906. That
the sheriff of Billings is in Denver
is all that was received from there
and Sheriff Davis left for Denver
this morning in the hope of find
ing the Montana officer and learn
ing more regarding the cripple.
Martin shows no concern, hav-
ing told the jailers that his life is
not worth anything and he don't
care what they do with him. He
treats everyone with contempt.
The inquest will not be held until
further advices are received from
Billings.
Roy E. Handy, one of Denver's
prominent business young men
who was visiting in Trinidad at
the time of the murder, says that
Ferguson, who is highly respect.

lynched for the crime but for the
timely action of determined color

with Winchester rifles. Ferguson
was the 6rst to report the finding
of the body and thus his arrest.

Special to The Journal.

Washington, Feb 1S.-The count
er proposition submitted to Southern
Railway officials by the heads of the
machinists' organization at their con-
ference yesterday afternoon, was in
these words:
You must realize that since this
depression came on, about 25 or 80
per cent of your employees have been
dismissed from service, and those
who remained in service have for
some time, and are now, suffering a
reduction of about 30 per cent in our
income through the reduction of
hours of employment. You also real
iZe that it has been the policy of the
Southern Railway to employ men of
families and to offer them induce
ments to buy homes and settle along
the railroads at points which its
shops are located. which policy has
been pursued by many. These men
are under financial obligations which
must be met or all their sacrifices
lasting for years will be for naught.
The price of commodities, further
more. has not decreased in keeping
with loss of opportunities for pursuit
of livelihood.
I'VE are of the opinion that it is
the duty OF stockholders, who have
received the dividends. to return a
portion of them to tide the railway
over this critical period, and not inn
pose upon the employees alone the
brl:nt of the burden; equity demands
that all interests should assist.
When it became apparent there
was no possibility of an agreement,
the machinists' leaders announced
that they would return home and
submit to the men themselves the
question of accepting the railroad
proposition or standing
pat.
About 10000 employees are affected
bv the proposed reduction, including
all machinists, boiler makers, pipe
men, blacksmiths and car men on the
SVSten
