within their reach, it behooves the
Negro to go do likewise. This move
is not for the purpose of Africaniz-
ing Colorado, but for the sole pur-
pose Of encouraging those Of our
people who desire chance to get
some of the states cheap land be
fore it is gone. The Negroes are
here and others are coming. We
must not allow them to be congre-
gated in our cities to be stifled by
the fierce competition. We are in
terested in the material develop
ment of the state. Negro farmers,
fruit growers, sheep raisers, and
home builders can do as much for
Colorado as an alien element. The
townsite company deserves confie
dence. Let all get busy
The Colorado statesman., 1909-08-07
ANOTHER MAN.

Although the President will
avoid appointing Negroes where Of
fense will be given, one Negro will
derive some honor from the work
ings of the tariff bill. The great
corporations of New York must
open their books for inspection of
a Negro when the new bill becomes
law. Charles w. Anderson, col
lector of internal revenue for the
City of New York will be the
proper person to probe into the cor
porations. Mr.. Anderson is one of
the brilliant young Negroes OF the
country and no doubt his conduct
in the tryout of the new law will
bring added luster to the race. We
have faith in him.
The Colorado statesman., 1909-08-07
THE TOWNSHIP COMPANY.

Very little has been said through
our papers of the new movement
inaugurated by body Of Colorado
Negroes. The recent session OF the
Negro Business League of Colorado
developed a full-fledged townsite
corporation with much paid in cap
ital in existence among the Negroes
of this state. They are some of our
best men. Men who have in quiet
way been doing something for
themselves, and are now prepared
to help others of their race. 1t is
purely a business proposition and
they invite only those of our people
who mean business to come in.

ganized for the purpose OF making
it possible for the white man to Sc

publican platform. 1t is a very
difficult matter in such fight to
secure for each particular section
Just what it feels it needs for its
growth. The fight made by Presi-
dent Taft for "a lower tariff on GER
tain articles and corporation tax
will do much to confirm his great
ness as "a patriot and statesman
worthy public confidence and
trust. The President won great
victory.
Colorado should feel great honor
in the work of Senator Guggen-
helm. A man of exceptional bust
ness capacity and training, devoted
to the best interests of the state,
through his efforts alone the inter
ests of the state were well pro-
tected. With our mining and sugar

that IA single Republican was there

NO HELPFUL DISCUSSION
OF THE RACE PROBLEM BETWEEN
WHITES AND BLACKS

Just at this present time there
is very little helpful and practical
discussion of the real race prob
lem being carried on by either
race. AT present about all that
exists is the contests between rival
theorists, faddists, fanatics and
the selfshly ambitious. The one
hopeful fact is that while the dogs
ase fighting over the bone. the
bone is not fighting, but the great
mass of the Negroes are hard at
work making money, getting stand
ing, educating their children and
going forward along all lines.
A large number of the best pa
pers OF the race are placed by a
certain few under the charge of
being subsidized. That this is
false charge no one of good and
honest judgment will deny, but
that it is constantly made and left
undenied is hurtful. There is no
charge on earth that can be
brought against the fanatics ex-
cept that they are fools. Men who
sacrifice thousands of dollars
worth of property and the friend
ship of their former friends and
undergo all sorts of needless hard
ships tc uphold ideas of principals
which the present generation is
not ready either to understand or
to accept, are nothing less than fa.
natics, their motive is a mistaken
sincerity, not motive of selfish
ness or of cupidity.
The portion of the race papers
which seeks to follow sane and
practical lines largely allows it.,
self to be drawn into controversy
with the portion that stands as
the uncompromising advocate of
principles and truths that are fix
ed and recognized, but that can
not at present be applied. The
result is confusing; no one can de-
ny that the Negro should have i'll
every detail the same rights as any
other citizen in any part of the
country, but only fool would try
to enforce such a proposition a
present.

REVISING DOWNWARD.

The tariff revision is ended, and
the country has in the Payne-Al-
drich Tariff Bill the anti-electlon
promises of the Republican party
made manifest. The entire country
will breathe sigh OF relief. Not
&hat confidence in the hard-headed
business sense of the Republican
leaders was lacking, but the clamor
for revising downward has been so
loud and insistent that 1t was ques-
tionable where reductions could be
best made without nJunng the
business of a locality or OF the
country at large. 1t may seem
anomalous to consider this re-
duction of the tariff when 1t actu-
allv increases the income OF the
Government forty millions. But to
understand how this condition Is
brought about one must carefully
study the entire bill. Many new
items were added to the tariff list
and the duty on many competing
ooods was increased. The interest
of our people is linked with all
American citizens. 1t is impossible
to leoislate for one class without
some of the crumbs of comfort fall
ING to all. Now that the tinkerlng
with the tariff is over the promised
Improvement in business circles
will come. With the panic OF l9oi
and the insistent demands OF the
tariff reformers for low tariff
has greatly affected public confl-
J dence. With a clear understanding
of the situation public confidence
will soon bring hidden capital into
the channels of trade and an era OF
prosperity will follow. Conditions
in the Western states are especially
gratifying at this time. Industrial
securities dependent upon this sec
ton are all strong on the market.
The farmers are promising the
world crops unparalleled in our
history. The demand for labor at
highly remunerative wages is
strong. Out here there is plenty to
do. With our mineral interests am
plv protected and the sugar beet
interest satisfactorily adjusted, we
can more cordially invite the Ne
groes of the South to come west
and enjoy the land of the free and
home of the great American nus
tier.
