SPLENDID WORK.

r. w, Thompson, a Washing
ton correspondent says:
DR.. w. T. Vernon, register of
the United States treasury, is do
ing a splendid work for the ad-
vancement of the co lored men en-
ployed in his department. He is
not accentuating the color line,
nor can be accused of undue favor
itism for his race in so doing, for
partiality based upon artificial
lines is bound to react harmfully;
but he is wisely seeing to it that
his people are not being discrimi-
mated against in the matter of pro-
motions when they deserve them.
He runs his Office" and it is not
difficult to perceive that the regis
ter of the treasury is the man des-
ignated by President Roosevelt to
perform the duties of that office
not some subordinate, who may
happen to possess fairer skin.
Since June II, 1906, the date up
on which Register Vernon took
the oath of office, the following
promotions of colored men have
been made upon his recommenda-
ton:
Lieut.. T. Fl. R. Clarke, from
81 900 to 81 200 per annum; R. p.
Reha, $72O to SS4O; Woodie Over,
$500 to $72O; George F. Beason,
at 5000; John d. Reynolds. at $500
and Roscoe L. Gray Temporary,
at $3.50, have entered the office
since the accession of DR.. Vernon.
THESE promotions and accessions
represent a net increase of salaries
paid to colored men of S2,145 di-
rectly attributed to the unselish,
broadminded and painstaking poll
cies of this race loving statesmen.
Other persons of the Negro race
carried on the rolls of the registers
office are: George G. Smith, at
5000; George j. Booker, at $3.50;
Charles w. Edwards, at $500; A.
H. Mathews; at $3.50, and George
D. Mccoy, at $3.50, bringing the
total salaries paid to the colored
employees under Register Vernon
up to the handsome figure of SS,
065 per annum. Adding to this
the $4,000 received by DR.. Vernon,
and the $4,000 received by Assist
ant Register Cyrus Field Adams
we have Sl4,565 paid from the
treasury to colored men, in connec.
ton with this one office-a show.
ing of which the race may well fee
proud, and the future promises
The Colorado statesman., 1908-01-11

A dead man has no need for ed
ucation, civilization or political
rights, and any man will die if he
does not have food, clothing and
shelter. Self-preservation is the
first law of nature, but when the
individuals can secure food, cloth
ing and shelter, the soul within
him asserts itself and makes its de-
mands. The American Negro has
reached just such a stage in his
Career. He feels secure in respect
to the bare necessities of life and
he now wants to enjoy something
of the life which he has preserved.
He wants home, a family, and
food, clothing and shelter for that
family; he wants that shelter to be
something more than mere pro-
lection from the elements, he wants
it to be a dwelling place for the
family he cherishes, real home,
however homely; he wants clothing
not merely to hide his nakedness,
but such clothing as will allow him
and his family to freely move
among their fellows without
shame, and with possibly, some
modest pride; he wants food, not
simply the bare necessities of the
body. but food that will satisfy the
cravings of the higher tissues
which his higher life has develop
ed. Such are the increased and
more complex wants of the Negro
of today, who but few years ago
asked nothing but a one-room
cabin and bacon and corn bread
and few rough garments. There
were but four millions of the race
who made such modest demands,
but all unframed in the ways of
self support as they were, they
were driven by these natural wants
into the stern struggle and have
not only survived but have multi
piled in number and gained eleva-
ton in the scale of being.
The wants of the free and civi
lized American Negro to-day are
just as urgent and as natural as
were the wants of the Negro of the
days after the War and the force
of the instinct of self preservation
is all the more powerful because
of the higher development of the
race. If the Negro, unframed and
inexperienced, could earn his sub.
kssistence, it need not be feared but
that the Negro Of to-day will make
his way. 1t is true that the con.
ditions under which he must gain
his living are not so simple and
that his wants are multiplied and
complex, but it is also true that he

Paris, Dec. 2S.-Paris papers,
which gladly welcomed Monsieur
Legitimus, a deputy from Guade-
loupe, are not friendly to him now
They have been informed that he
intends to sue several papers for
things said about him before he
came to assume his official duties.
Legitimus is full blooded Negro
and a person of large proportions.
Before he came to France, some of
the papers wanted to make him
rather romatic, spoke of him as
being fetish priest, one who wor-
ships bones of dead persons. 1t
was also related that he is a con-
jurer of spirits and that he was a
partner of one of the most feared
ROBBERS of his native land. 1t was

Washington, Jan 3.-The Sen
ate Committee on Military Affairs
expects to submst the reports of
the Brownsville investigation to
the Senate within the next two
weeks. There will be at least
three reports. The majority will
fix the responsibility for the shoot
ing up of the Texas town on the
colored soldiers. The Democratic
Senators will join with the chair
man of the committee, Senator
Warren, and other Republican
Senators in the majority report as
to the guilt of the soldiers. but the
Democrats are also considering
the matter of a separate report as
to the guilt of the soldiers, but
the Democrats are also considering
the matter of a separate report rec
ommending the mastering out of
all colored soldiers now in the
army. In this view the Republi-
can Senators who faver the major
ity report do not concur. Senator
Foraker will present the minority
report, which will declare that the
guilt of the soldiers has not been
established and will recommend
their reinstatement Senator
Scott has some original views on
the Brownsville matter which may
be presented in a separate report

STYLES AT FASHIONABLE
SUMMER RESORTS

The hard times seem to have had
no effect on the vagarles OF Fashion,
for gowns are more luxurious this
summer than they ever were before,
and at all the famous watering
places of the East, especially New
port and Bar Harbor the costumes
worn add great brilliancy to the
season.
In very fashionable society the Di-
rectoire styles are literally carrying
everything before them. Skirts are
very long and clinging and waists
are short.
One OF the ladies, spectator al
the games at the tennis court at the
Casino In Newport. the other day
wore stunning creation OF pale
pink linen, that must have come
straight from Paris.
This gown had a long trailing
skirt, trimmed at the knees with a
12-lnch band OF embroidery done on
the material with linen thread and
tiny linen braids. II had Direc-
tolre coat with the customary short
waisted effect in the front and rath-
er long tails In the back. The coat
was trimmed with embroidery match
ing the garniture OF the skirt. The
sleeves were OF three-quarter length
and adorned with broad bands Of
the embroidery.
