THE LOW POLITICAL DIVES.

The white people of this CON-
cumity complain of the great
amount of crime committed by
Negroes, but those who control the
city government donate to low Ne
groes the privileges of running
low dives where the Negro is grad
uated in crime; and when he goes
forth with his acquired knowledge
from the schools saloons for
which the administration is re-
sponsible and commits rape, bur-
glary, larceny, or murder then they
howl about the Negroes being
great criminals. We ask why
don't the mayor order the dives
run by Negroes and whites closed?
Why are so many loafers and
gamblers who are run out of the
other cities allowed to hang on in
Pueblo? Why are the most disso-
late women allowed to come here
and ply their criminal profession :?
We will tell you-because two or
three low Negroes and white Dem
ocrats have sent out the word to
the bad element of this state that
this city is safe for them to come
and operate their unlawful prac-
tices, because they say that this is
a Democratic town and that the
Negroes who play that they are
Democrats have a guaranty that
they and their unlawful business
shall be protected and that all that
is necessary for any criminal who
comes is to report to the would be
Negro Democratic bosses and they
will be protected in all they do if
they only-claim to be Democrats.
Let the decent colored people be-
gin to think on the disgrace re-
hected Oh them and the danger
that may come to them by the ex.
istence of such low political sa-
looms and assignation houses and
get ready to vote with the decent
people next spring-for it now
seems quite certain that the pres
ent administration will not close
those places but protect them for
political purposes.-Co Colorado Times.

JOHNS0N'S VICTORY
AWAKES THE WORLD
Many Biased and Unbiased Comments
by People of Note Throughout
the Civilized World.

E. W. Dickerson of the Rocky
Mountain News, and by the way,
one of the best sporting editor of
the country, is a man of true
sporting type and holds on preju-
dice as to the color of the individ
ual. In speaking of the Johnson
Burns fight he quotes Johnny Cor,
bet as follows with a comment
The air down South seems to
be surfeited with lamentation be-
cause Jack johnson wrested the
heavyweight crown from Tommy
Burns. Governor John K. Var
daman of Mississippi believes that
the African race, whom his people
once ensIaved. will become a gre
garious assem- blage of swellheaded-
ness as result of pugilistic hon
ors falling on the head of a color
ed man"
The governor need not worry.
There was time, and not so long
ago, when the great Peter Jack
son led the van of colored boxers
and in the march behind him came
Joe Walcott and George Dixon.
And while they were being crown
ed with many successive victories
the colored folk took the honors
without any dispay of egotism or
sign of an inflated top piece.
There is not, nor should there be,
any objection on the part of Uncle

matter what his creed or color.

draw the color line if he believes
the company is too fast for him.

estate holdings to have your name
on the tax-roll. We have not pre-
sumed to offer a solution to the veX-
atious race problems. That includes
too much for our talent. But we
have sought to inculcate habits of
thrift and right living. We are
confident that right living will go
far toward ameliorating present
conditions. During the year we
have urged upon our people the
great Importance of owning homes
and accumulating property. We
have urged our young people TO
save their money, to open accounts
with the various banks, thereby OBJ
tanning a standing in the city and
state. We are proud of the prog
ress of our people during the past
year. Many new homes have been
bought and beautified. Today Den
yer Negro homes equal older east
ern cities. And again, we are
pleased to note the many substan-
tial Negroes who have come into
Colorado and settled upon farms
and are making commendable
progress. Some time ago we urged
upon our people the Importance OF
Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton for the benefit of our young
men. The suggestion has been ta-
ken up by the ministers and the
churches of the city, and the out
look for a healthy organization OF
this kind among our people is
bright.
The Colorado statesman., 1909-01-02

An invidions comparison is some
times made of the old and the
young Negroes industrious habits,
much to the disadvantage of the
latter. Let us see. Between the
years 1879 and 1890, the older
Negroes were probably at their
best. The whole of the Negroes
property in this state in 1879 was
returned at S5,1S2,39S. In 1890
it was returned at $12,325, DOB, a
gain of S7,l39,065, or LAT per cent
increase in ten years. Betwt en-
1891 and 1908 the younger Negro
es have been in evidence and prop
erty has increased from Sl4, 1876,
735 in 1901 to S23, ,750,229 in 1906
an increase of ST per cent. which
would indicate that the young Ne
gro is not so lazy and shiftless as
some people say he is.-Kentucky

Yesterday.
Today is all that is given to us.
Tomorrow is vague, never re-
deemed promise. Yesterday is the
recollection of the doings of today.
How many can stand in the pres
ent and contemplate the history OF
our todays, as seen in the unchange-
able records of yesterday, and feel
no remorse? We feel that we have
done our duty as we have seen 1t.
From the inception of this enter
prise, more than fifteen years ago,
the management has sought to
make this a journal of opinion for
the Negroes of the Rocky Mountain
states. The years of our existence
is unimpeachable evidence OF how
well we have succeeded. There
have been many hours when the
way was dark and gloomy, but we
have had the utmost faith in our
people. Our policy has been to hon
estly and consistently defend the
rights and privileges of our people,
without offense to the rights of 9th
ers. In these years we have gath
cred about us an ever-increasing
circulation. We have made many
good, strong friends, whose wise
counsel has been a source of great
profit and pleasure to us. Such is
the past of THE COLORADO STATES
MAN, and we, and all, can point to
it with feelings of honest pride, as
a business owned and conducted by
a Negro worthy their honest and
liberal patronage.

Mr.. JACK" JOHNSON,
MASTER OF EP|GRAM

Those near-scientists who have
been claiming that the Negroes
brain action will never be equal to
that of the white man, hence refer
ing the colored man to a secondary
plane, will be inclined to reverse
their opinion in the light of the
astonishing quickness of repartee
shown by Mr.. Jack" johnson in
his prize fight with Mr.. Tommy
Burns in Australia.
1t is said Mr.. Burns relied on
the claims of the scientists, and
trusted more to his brain power
than to his punch. He thought
he could bewilder Mr.. johnson
with a sparkling flow of wit, and
then, while the Negro was yet
dazzaled, slip in the deciding
blow that would give him the vic
tory. But to his surprise Mr.
Burns found the Negro loaded
with stock of epigrams that made
his own look as if they had been
taken from the second hand count
er. Every time the men rushed
to "A clinch Mr. Burns would lead

and back would come a choice as

ing the fighting ability of the
whole pale faced race.
1t is not surprising that Mr..
Burns knees wobbled soon after
the first round. 1t was as if the
late Sydney Smith, armed with all
the epigrama in that classic book
of his, were to clash with "A colored
waiter who had been loading up
with Marcus Aurelina. The SEN
sation of astonishment would be
too much for Mr.. Smith and he
would go down and out-which is
exactly the way Mr.. Burns went
in Australia.
There is much talk among the
guardians of the destines of sport

a white man to whip Mr.. johnson
