THREE COLORED BOYS TO BOX
AND WRESTLE TONIGHT.

The bout between Battling Thomp-
son and Roy Brown, two local colored
boys of Denver is causing quite a
large amount of excitement. Both
boys are training at the Rocky Noun
tain Athletic club and the large
crowds that gather daily are begin
ming to lay their small bets on both
of the boys, who fight at the d. A.
club tonight. Bud Thomas, the wrest-
Ter, is also in hard training for his
bout with some unknown 133-pound
wrestler and James Berry's manager
would not let him go on for fear that
he was not in the right kind of condi-
ton. If Battling Thompson and Kid
Brown make any kind of showing to-
night they will be matched to box in
Cheyenne in the near future. Bud
Thomas is training under the instruc-
ton of Prof. Edwin Carson and Roy
Tolliver and expects to beat his man

Horror Of the CoatesviIis Lynehins.
Commenting on the recent Coates
VILE Pa) lynching. the Amsterdam
News. New York city, says: ut has be-
come SO common to burn Afro Ameri'
cans alive In the southern states that,
although the horror of the barbarity
remains. the keen edge of surprise,
even, is blunted. and for long time
we have been expecting that the next
step would be taken. To roast man
and then neglect to eat him Is dis
tinction without difference that pco-
pie of refined and cultured manners
are slow to appreciate. A nation u
bound to DO Judged BY ih moral
utandards."

Pen Picture of Coming Struggle For
Justice Points the Way to Victory.

While the executive committee and
other members of the National Inde-
pendent Political league were complet-
ing the program for the annual meet
ing of the organization which was held
in Boston. beginning Monday, Aug. 2S.
Editor w. E. King of the Dallas (Tex)
Express, as if by inspirat ton, makes
the following declaration:
In the coming struggle for man
hood rights in this country on the
part of the Negro he will need to put
forward his best, brightest and most
conservative men-best in the matter
of equipment and preparation, bright
est in the matter of clear and far
seeing conception of what the future
with reason portends, judging by the
history of the past, conservative in
that their experience and consummate
judgment lead them TO reach conclu
sions after having taken all things into
considera ton.
With this lineup we can reasonably
expect results becoming the great
prize which we hope to win and be-
coming the dignity and seriousness Of
the contest. In government such as
ours. where the people rule through
their chosen representatives. where
government exists and executes the
will of the people. our institutions must
not be considered secure until every
citizen is accorded his full measure
Of liberties as set forth In the letter
and spirit of the constitution and the
law.
This is contention which must he
made by every patriot in the land
sooner or later. This Is the. doctrine
proclaimed in the Declaration ce4n-
dependence. and for which Chrispus
Attucks fell. and for which Washing
ton and the forcfathers fought De
laying this question through the arb'-
trariness of executives and the tech
nicalities of courts can only serve to
complicate matters, which our govern
ment must one day settle on the high
plane of honor. fairness and justice.

the Editor Statesman.

To the Editor Statesman,
1t has been some time since we
have written you last, but we are glad
to say that we are still moving on.
The colored people of Butte, as a rule,
have quit paying $35 and $40 for a
suit of clothes two or three times a
year, and paying from SIS to 500 a
month rent for somebody's else house
to live in, and are purchasing homes
of their own instead.
1t is safe to say that S5 per cent.
of the colored families of Butte own
their own homes, homes that cost all
the way from $1,000 to $4,000 each.
While there are several, who, besides
owning their homes, have other real
estate from which they are getting
good rent; so you see that we are
not asleep up here.
