THE NEGRO AND THE OCCASION

THE NEGRO AND THE OCCASION.
The Colorado Statesman cannot
refrain from expressing great sur
prise that in all the arrangement
for the reception and entertain
ment of the President the colored
men of Denver have manifested alb
solutely no interest. In this city
we claim six thousand population
and we have among us many bright
and accomplished men. Men capa-
BILE of taking the initiative in Sc
curing some place Of recognition
for a member of the race. There
should be Negroes in the parades,
on the committees, on the stage at
the auditorium meeting. Such a
condition would not exist among
Negroes in any other section OF the
country. They would devise some
plan to be seen and heard on such
an occasion if only by a few brass
horns and marching club. Our
people here are like men stricken
with palsey. This condition must
be changed and Negroes should de-
mand and make places on such pub
lie occasions. President Taft is
the ruler of ALL. His color is a
mere incident. Let the Negro
wake up to the fact that he is a
citizen. President Taft will be in
Denver Tuesday.

WANTS AMERICAN
INTERFERENCE.

Chicago, September IA plea
for American interference in Aby-
ssinia, addressed to the Daily News
Of this city and signed by Prince
Johannes Menelik of Ads Abbeda
heir to the Abyssinian throne, was
printed in the News a few days
ago.
The authenticity of the letter is
vouched for by Professor d. D.
Luckenbill, instructor in Assyrio-
logy at the University of Chicago.
Professor Luckenbill stated that
there was a sort of Young move
ment in every Oriental country at
the present time. Abyssinia being
no exception.
The letter began:

elk; to Chicago, ILL.,, U, S. A; the
News Manager"
The writer speaks of the men,
ance to his county of Germany,
France, Italy and England, par
ticularly the last named. He
speaks of advising his father the
Emporer against the latter's ap-
peal to Germany for help Amer
lea is the one land be can trust.

the letter, land | now call to the
world wide attention to help me in
this great work, because if we left
it in our native peoples hands AT.
RIGA shall go TO hell and not to
heaven. [ must point out one
thing. We don't want Germans
or English or French in this coun-
try. But if America come in my
lifetime, she and her subjects shall
be welcome. But German people
are no good to any colored people.
England she is hell enough Ger
man forty million times worse
And on other hand, l do think we
can get as goodies man in the state

How many of the one hundred Ne

THE PRESIDENT.


Perhaps the most notable item
ary of a President of the United
States, VIII be the present journey
into the West. President Taft will
( be in Colorado next week. Vast
{ and almost regal preparations have
been made for his reception and en-
tertainment while here. The Presi-
dent will receive the cordial and
patriotic homage of many million
people while en- route. The hon.
age and respect of the American
people for their Chief Executive
differs much from that of any
other country for its ruler. To
this people, the President is but a
man, who represents the will of the
people, as expressed in the general
elections. Behind him are no worn
out traditions to hamper the free
and untrammelled progress of the
nation. The past history of this
nation may be filled with the fl
male of burning questions, but they
are burnt out. This nation lives
in the present with governmental
machinery sufficiently flexible to
meet the veering storms. President
Taft is not a spectacular states
man. but he is winning the people
by his calm judicial conduct and
his evidently sincere desire to car
ry out the will of the people as ex-
pressed by the Republican plat
form upon which he was elected.
This is the clearest docmument is
sued by the dominant party in the
course of it's long existence. The
President has won many friends by
the staunch and fearless manner in
which he has demanded legislation
along lines laid down during the
late campaign. In the recent extra
session his repeated demand for a
downward revision of the tariff in
the interest of the masses of the
people and his fight for corpora
ton tax has endeared him to the
great mass of American people.
His effort to shift the burden of
taxation that ALL INTERESTS
might bear a reasonable proper
ton of the responsibility bears
fruit in the boundless enthusiasm
that will be exhibited on every
hand.
