DENVER COLORADO, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 26 1910.

men of Washington, ID. c. As a re-
suit of the well defined movement,
growing out of the National Negro
Business Men S League, and the
various state organizations, a
strong sentiment favorable to
greater commercial development
among our people is notice
able. Throughout the South the
increase of banking houses and
other business houses, is part
of the report of every year.
The spirit is spreading to the North
and now sentiment in st. Louis,
Kansas City and other cities hav
ing large Negro populations, is ia
vorable to the establishment OF
banking houses and a stronger
boost for colored men in business.
Nothing does so much in the racial
uplift that sound banking houses,
enjoying the confidence and esteem
of the people. The Mississippi
Morgan is not alone in this changed
condition. Around him are score
of brilliant men who are doing
something in the commercial devel-
opment of the race. Let this condi-
ton come and let us help as much
as possible. We can do this by de
veloping the saving habit and CIV
ing every possible encouragement
to legitimate Negro enterprises.
MoRs AGAIN.
Telegraphic reports tell us that
down in Illinois they are again hav-
ing trouble with the great Ameri
can mob. This time the sheriff
met the mob with a well directed
volley from heavily loaded shot
guns, with the result that the law
less element faded away, to gather
again in the distance and mutter
threats, The action of the sheriff
in protecting his prisoners as well
as public property from the wan
ton fury of the mob will no doubt
meet the approval of all right
thinking people. The general pro
test which always comes from the
Negro press against such exhibitions
of lawlessness should never be con-
strued as sympathy for the tough
element among our race. The Colo
RADIO Statesman believes in law and
order, and we feel that this is the
feeling of not alone the Negro
press. but of the best class all over
the country. We recognize the nee
essity of getting rid of the tough
Negro. but we do not think he
should be hurried beyond the law.
Let the best class of our people rise
up and force this bad element to
the rear What would be great
help to our people in accomplishing
this result would be the giving OF
less prominence in the daily papers
to the petty crimes and misdemea-
nors of the police court type. The
lazy, worthless Negro counts for no
more among the people OF his race
than the same class among whites.
What we must do in Denver is to
push this bad element to the wall
and as far as is within our power
prevent the development OF similar
conditions prevail in Illinois.

Last Saturday our basket ball
team went to Alexandria and beat
them on their own grounds with a
score of 10 to 6. 1t was a spirited
game while it lasted, but the
halves were to short too make any
star playing. The game was call
cd at 3 O'Clock and was attended
by a good size crowd.
About a minute after the ball
was thrown up at the centre our
first goal was made, and from then
until the game was called we kept
the lead. Alexandria's men were
exceedingly quick and fast and it
took swift playing to hold them.
Alexandria made one field goal
aud 4 points on fouls. We made
4 field goals and threw two fouls.
BY this you can see that it was a
remarkably clean game.
Mr.. Perrault Of Alexandra
refereed, and Mr.. Adams umpired,

Home Rule-British Elections May
Reduce Liberal Majority

London. Nov. 30.-With the dissolu-
ton of Parliament all formalities pre-
liminary to the election of a new Par
nation Of dissolution summoned the
new Parliament TO assemble on Jan.
81, 1911.
In Ireland the struggle is growing
more bitter every day. A meeting Of
delegates representing every Ulster
constituency was held in Belfast yes
terday at which resolution was
adopted to draw up a solemn declara-
tiOn refusing to pay rates or taxes inn
posed by a Dublin parliament or obey
its DEGREES, while $4,000 was subscrib-
ed on the spot to organize the Ulster
men into regiments and purchase arms.
The dissolution of Parliament brings
to a crisis the supreme struggle now
in progress to limit the legislative
powers of the House Of Lords and
thereby permit the elective branch Of
Parlia ment, the House of Commons, to
exert larger powers in effecting legis-
lation, more particularly measures re-
lating to Irish home rule and the finan-
cial budgets.
The present House of Commons has
a ministerial majority Of 124 and the
Uniopists confidently hope to reduce
this at the coming elections. If the
doubtedly endeavor to restrict the
power of the upper house. if not abol-
ish it. and give home rule to Ireland.

more clearly indicate the colors it fol-
