The present administration seems
to have set line beyond which no
negro can CO. In the South the negro
has his place" and Colorado is rap
idly degenerating to the Southern
idea.
We feel sorry for Mr.. Buford, and
for all other honest-intentioned ne
groes who supported the Democrats.
They have been swindled The won
derful promises of their state organ
ization have melted into thin air. 1t
is enough for them to have to battle
again the overwhelming weight of
opinion in their own race, and when
they meet Judas treatment from
those in whose interest they work, it
is too much.

Franklin's paper the statesman., 1909-03-20

The Democratic press of the state
of Colorado, in commenting upon the
present Legislature, has said in no
uncertain terms that the Democratic
party has gotten goods under false
pretenses. With the legislative ses-
sion about over, and nothing done to
redeem the party pledges it does seem
that the public's confidence, has been
imposed upon.
With respect to the colored people
of Colorado the situation is no better.
From the time of the national con-
vention here last summer, clear
through the campaign, colored Demo-
cratic workers promised real, sure
enough, Observation-Disclosures
square DEAL" if we would support
that party in state and nation. A
number of us were gulled into believ-
ing them and did as they asked. And
what is the result?
The very issue on which our votes
were asked for the national ticket, the
Brownsville matter, has been salts
factorily settled by Republican Con
gress and a Republican president,
over the opposition of Democratic
members of Congress. Here in the
state where the best we asked was
fair legislation and proper considera-
tion in appointments, for the first
time we have been insulted with pro-
posed legislation aiming to effect sep
arate schools.
The host of appointments has sim
mered down to one. We ask c. W..
Buford and the others who lent them
selves to this deception of the colored
voters, what they have to say now!
We are not questioning their good in
tentions, certainly we could not in the
case Of Mr.. Buford, for he has been
faithful TO Democracy to our own
knowledge when every consideration
of personal advantage would have
made him desert. But one must have
more than good intentions. Results
are what we want. We ask them in
all fairness, is there any hope for the
negro race in a party that will per-
NIT the leadership of men like Secre-
tary of State Pearce? Can the few
fair-minded Democrats stem the tide
of Bourbon Democracy that believes
that the negro has no rights that a
white man is bound to respect? II
Mr.. Pearce does not represent the
average opinion Of his party, how are
we to account for the refusal OF the
state treasurer, Mr.. Galligan, to make
a place in his ONCE for negro? How
account for the failure Of the state
land board to make place when by
hook or crook other state departments
refused? Not speaking as a Republi-
can newspaper, but from the stand
point Of race newspaper and with
out political bias, we say frankly, that
we have no expectations Of fair treat
ment from the state administration.
1t is true that the governor has ap-
pointed messenger to succeed Cap
tain Thomas Campbell, who was en-
ployed by Governor Buchtel. But

1t is stated in the press dispatches
that one change resulting from the
new administration is that of the sur
veyor of the port of New York, a po-
sition at this time held by Gen. j. S.
Clarkson of Iowa. We hope it is not
true. Or rather we hope that If it is
true it does not mean the relegating
into private life of this lifelong friend
of our race In him we have an ad-
visor who has never considered our
fight for real emancipation lost, one
who has stood by the guns and will
stand until the last round of ammuni-
tion is exhausted.
The ranks of those whose souls
were cleansed of all petty prejudices
in the heat of battle are thinning.
And so we cling with stronger affec-
ton to those who remain and in their
triumphs we rejoice, and in their
losses we grieve. So it is that we
grieve that Gen. Clarkson is in dam
ger of losing his position.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 16.-Heney
was the object of a bitter attack by
A. A. Moore, when the latter re-
sumed his argument for the defense in
the Calhoun trial. Heney was branded
as a hiraling of Rudolph Sprechles, as
the head of an organized force of
criminal detectives. Moore said:
Despite all the spying, the boring
of holes in doors, looking over trans
SONS and traps that were set, there
has never been a particle of evidence
against the defendant
James D. Phelan has been a wit
ness here. He is the noble man who

testimony did not affect the defendant

BUTTE, Mont, 5une i6.-Today Is
the thirty first anniversary of the or
ganization of the Butte Miners Union
NO. 1, the parent body of the West
ern Federation of Miners, and as usual
it was publicly cele brated. Business
was suspended for the day and 1000
union men of all classes marched in
parade.
Shortly before noon while thousands
of holiday idlers thronged Columbia
Gardens, the cafe at that resort took
fire from an overheated stove.
A company of Butte firemen hast
ented to the scene aboard a special
car, but meanwhile volunteer firemen
picked out from the crowd had man
aged the private hose and saved the
cafe, which is in the heart Of the con-
cessions, and would have destroyed
them all.

Occasion of German
Songsters.

alton.
The Maennerchor composed of the
city's most prominent Germans whose

Gle Sam these Germans have kept alive
those dear old songs of the Fatherland
and by their musical skill nave won

voices. Next August the Germans
will go to Seattle to sing at the A.-Y.-
P. exposition and then to Everett to

at Northwest meetings, the Maenner-
Choir has become noted, viii be sung
again. The program will be varied
and the musical numbers will be IN

WASHINGTON, June 16.-Taft to-
dav sent congress a special message
recommending the adoption of a joint
resolution by twO-thirds of both
houses proposing to the states of an
amendment to the constitution grant
ing the government the right to levy
and collect an income tax.s 1t also
recommends as a part of the pending
tariff bill an excise tax upon all cor
porations amounting to two per cent
of their net income.
The message refers to Taft's pre-
viOus suggestion that if it is impOs-
sib. to secure sufficient income by
the import Of duties, that new kinds
Of taxation must be adopted, among
which is suggested the inheritance
tax. Taft says the government is de
Wiyed of power it should have and
mature consideration has satisfied
him that a constitutional amendment
is the only proper course for the es-
Enlistment of this power to the full
lest extent
On the subject Of the inheritance
tax the message says:
The house of representatives adopt
ed the suggestion and provided a bill
Tor the collection of such a tax. In
The senate the action of the finance

Must File Declaration.

AS there was no opposition to many
of the republican candidates, the dem
ocratic voters simply wrote in the
names of present incumbents for their
respective offices, and as a result, the
republicans are nominated by the
democrats and the democrats by the
republicans OF course all candidates
were nominated by the party to which
they belong, but the mix-up gives the
candidates a choice of ballots on
which their names are to appear III
the regular elections. Therefore, lit
is necessary, in accordance with the
provisions of the direct primary law
for each candidate to file with the
city clerk a written and signed dec
laration, stating on which party bal
lot he desires his name to appear be-
fore the voters.
In case a candidate decides on a
change of politics at this time, he
may have his name removed from one
ballot to another, though a new filing
fee will have to be deposited with
the clerk for such change.
