cried to heaven for vengeance
He followed the Revolutionary sol
diers, suffering at Valley Forge,
and shouting victory at Yorktown.
The Negro soldier followed An
drew Jackson to New Orleans and
there hel ped save the country. Two
hundred and eighty thousand Ne
groes followed the flag during the
Civil War They were butchered
at Milliken's s Bend, massacred at
Fort Pillow and moved down in
the crater at Lynchburg. They
followed Hooker up Lookout
Mountain and Sherman to the sea.
Around Richmond they helped
Grant see the dawn of Appomat-
toX. They served their country
faithfully and valiantly. Not only
were they loyal to the flag, but
many, filled with the feudal zeal
of other days, followed their mas
ters into the Confederate ranks,
and built breastworks, drove teams
and marched IN the Rebel ranks.
There was a time when we might
have been disposed to look ask
ance at the Negro Rebel soldier,
but as we stood Monday and
watched the depleted lines of the
Blue, and the Gray, going to honor
their soldier dead, we, too, must
learn to forgive and forget. Let
the dead past bury its dead, and
we who today strive to manifest a
full measure of respect for the sa-
Bile soldiers who are so fast passing
away, seeing in them only brave
men who differed. Then, too, there
are new-made graves in this coun-
try. The brief Spanish-American
war only gave to the Negro an
other opportunity to prove himself.
This he did, in action, at San Juan
Hill, and in the days of pacifica-
ton he quietly and honestly did
his duty. These are achievements.

and adhere slavishly to a sectional
sentiment or sectional institutions
He is not addressing himself to a
portion of the country where ideas,
customs and habits change rapid
ly, The great crowds at Peters
burg, Charlott, and other points in
the South that, some few days ago,
heard his mastery address on
what his southern policy is, were
not those representing a section
of land where the commercial
spirit is dominant, and where ev-
erything is subordinate in a large
extent TO this idea of commerce.
In building up his Republican
party in Dixie Mr.. Taft must
place the colored man on the poll
tical alter and call down the fires
of southern prejudice and south
ern hatred to conume him Sup
pose for an instance, if you can,
this is done The country would
witness the strangest and most
ludicrous spectacle of two Repub-
licanisms in this county-a Re-
publicanism in the North, plus
the Negro, and a Republicanism
in the South, minus the Negro.
In other words-a house divided
against itself. Political parties
have lives like the individual, and
their histories are written likewise
but no historian of the Republi-
party will ever record the exis-
tence of matured Republicanism
in the land of Jefferson Davis and
rock ribbed Democracy. The
South is throwing a beautiful bur
deceiving rainbow across the Taft
horizon, but indeed Mr.. President,
you will not find bag of gold at
the end of it.

ACHIEVEM ENTS.

We read a nation S history in
the record of its soldiery. The
Negro soldier has been part of
this government, since the first
throes of national questions dis
turbed the relations with England.
He had given a hundred and
more years of his life and toll to
the colonist. He had been an ever
present help in the hour of need to
the early settlers pushing out in
the great wilderness. He had de-
Tended lonely cabin and settlement
from the fierce raids of hostile In
dians. He had marched with
Washington and Braddock to fight
the French and Indians. And
when an offering was needed for
Liberty's altar, Crispus Attucks
offered himself, and his blood
The Colorado statesman., 1909-06-05

besides this fact we have the other
that, though the American Indian
is not only widely different from
the Caucasian type, but is an her
editary enemy with which white
settlers have had to contest almost
every square mile of the country,
still the Indian half breeds take
their place easily among the white
men and are freely absorbed.
They travel without question in
white mems cars, as indeed the
dirtiest Chipaman may do, while
the whitest of men suspected of
having a trace Negro blood is
elected. 1t would seem that there
are secret links of affinity between
the white man and the aboriginal
Indians which do not exist. be-
tween him and the black man and
that some primordial instinct of
antagonism overpowers all con-
scious reasoning where the black
blood enteres into the question.
The Colorado statesman., 1909-06-05
REM EMBER THEM.

The Negro soldier is fast passing
away. Only few of those who
went out in the dark days of civil
strife remain to remind us of a
stupendous struggle. Their noble
sacrifice deserves much from us.
Why not this great race of ours
on some Memorial Day, at the
National Capitol, unveil "A monu-
ment sacred to their memory (?
This would be a splendid and fit
ting testimonial of the love we
have for them. Flowers may fade
but a shaft of marble or tablet
of brass will last while time goes
to eternity. Let the race remember
them.

On Monday the entire nation
stood beside the graves of its sol
der dead. Along with the rest of
the people, the Negro scattered
flowers over the graves of black
heroes who died that this nation
might live and prosper as the
land of the free and the home OF
-Sthe brave In our efforts to rouse
our people to higher ideal of liv-
ing, we may have overlooked the
value of ''heroes and hero wor-
ship The Negro seems forgetful
of the great men of the race; seems
forgetful of those who rose to the
occasion. The Negro soldier has
been the greatest factor in our
races history. Could we trace his
record from the beginning of his
service to the colonists, to the pres
ent time, we would find that much
of the history of the Negro is writ
ten in the blood of their noble,
fearless and obedient soldiers. To
know the history of their deeds and
achievements, and to transmit
them as priceless heritage to flu
ture generations would elevate the
manhood of our race beyond the
fondest expectation of our most
sanguine dreamer. We must write
our own history. Every nation
has its own historians, and some
black Guizot or Hallam must col
lect the facts concerning the sol
diery of our race and give them to
the budding mind to study, to en-
ulate and to inspire. But enough
is known in a fragmentary way,
that all our people feel the holi-
ness of Memorial Day and pause
beside the graves of friend and foe
to lay a flower.

NEGRO AND INDIAN

OF the 100000 Of Negroes
and Negroids in the United States
it is reckoned that one-fifth are
nearly white, says the London
Times. They have lost all the
more obstrusive characteristics of
the black race, and they often
show in a somewhat extreme form
the characteristics of the Caucas-
ian type. They can show white
skins-only too white-blue eyes
and fair or even red hair. The
cranial type is altered to the eau
cas;an model, and indeed the same
is true in less degree of full
blooded Negroes who have been
long under white influence. These
negroids are of all conditions of
life, many of then. wealthy and
highly educated. Yet the racial
line is drawn with unabated sever
ity. They are socially Negroes
and have to consort in public
places and railway carriages with
the pure Negroes to whom they
are distantly related. There is no
use in complaining of this or in
morolizing about it.
We have only to note the fact
and We are obliged to believe that
there is some reason for it, lying
probably far below the region of
volition or of consciousness. For

WASHINGTON
LETTER
BY JAMES cURERT CAMPBELL

When characterizing the devel-
opment of policies and the pro
gress of President Taft's Admins.
tration as far as it has gone, one
often hears the expression that
"Great bodies move slowly" As
compared to the swift pace we
have in late years become pccus-
toned, one often feels that he had
suddenly ruiz out of a great gale
into calm and motionless sea.
Its long way oack to the fourth
of March, said one man who ap-
peared to have been keeping pace
with the progress of affairs since
the present Administrator assum-
ed control. If, continued he, there
have been any great changes of
Importance or the development of
new policies, they haven't been
visible to the necked eye. This
view, however, is not shared by all
students of political affairs, be-
cause President Taft,s administra-
ton has certainly made progress,
and to those who will lend care
ful eye. it will be observed that,
the apparent slowness of the pres
ent administration is perhaps no.
ticed because of the swiftness of
another it follows. Again the
Taft Administration has gone a
long way in the development of
policies.
One of the most important poll
cies with which the present head
of the nation may be credited is
that with respect to the South.
In other words it is said he de-
sires to see the "solid South"
broken up, and the establishment
of great and powerful Republi-
can party in this section. He is
working hard to inject Republi-
canism into the political arteries
of Dixie. To accomplish this
ccmmendable task President Taft,
it may be said, seriously labors.
If this country knew the Gus
tom of Presidents, assuming the
title or name of rulers who have
preceded them, President Taft
when he came into office might
have with propriety proclaimed
himself-McKinley, End. because,
with respect to his policies to-
wards the South he seems to have
gone back to that great ruler.
Winning the South, establish
ing Republicanism in its obliterat-
ing sectional feeling and effacing
race friction is indeed great and
laudable cause and worth of those
who undertake it, brt in the light
of present conditions, it is the
opinion of many people in this
land that the effort with its meth
ods is a hopeless task, and that
President Taft will be rewarded
with as much success in the end
as was his beloved predecessor,
President Mckinley.
President Taft is not appealing
to the people of the North, who
have never been known to boast of

Hampton, Va, May 23.-At the
commencement exercises at the
Hampton Normal and Agricultural
institute today a letter was read
from President Taft in which he
announced his acceptance of
place on the board of trustees of
that school for the education of the
Negro and the Indian. Mr.. Tafts
letter to DR.. III. B. Frissell, prin-
cipal of the school, said: Il have

Washington reveals the fact that
for support of scores of schools in
the South. The Standard Oil man
asked Mr. Washington to act as
his almoner, and insisted that his
benefactions be kept secret. In
giving an account of this unknown
phase of Mr.. Rogers activities,
Mr.. Washington said: THE first
time l ever met Mr.. Rogers was in
this manner. About Is years ago,
a large meeting was held in Madi-
son Square garden concert hall to
obtain funds for the Tuskegee in
stitute. Mr.. Rogers attended the
meeting. The next morning
received a telegram from him, ask
ing me to call at his office. He
handed me 10 $4,000 bills for
the Tuskegee institute. In doing
this, he imposed only one condi-
ton, that the gift should be men,
toned to no nne. when he died
all unknown to those who were
receiving his aid, at least 90 small
country schools were being helped
by the money he contributed"
