There will be a much better arrange

At the contest with Virginia the
crowding of hundreds OF spectators
around the entrance caused such a jam,
both before and after the game, that
there was considerable Indignation. The
trouble was that the single entrance
caused such congestion that many Of

accommodate any crowds that can be
handled on the inside Of the field.

Maroon has been the Sam White, Of

touchdowns. He is game warrior, who
possesses the ability to size UP plays
on the defense and direct his men ac-
cordingly.
After the disqualification of Pickering.
of Minnesota, Tandberg, of Wisconsin,
is the logical choice fer fulltack be-
cause of his strong defensive play and
his ability as a line plunger, when one
or two yards gain was needed on the
third attempt. This player possesses the

The Rights of All Citizens
Demand the Appeal of
the Harris Case

The district court sitting in Lo
Junta, presided over by Judge Essex,
has found Robert Harris guilty OF
first degree murder and the sentence
of death has been passed upon him.
His father has been found guilty also,
second degree being found against
him.
The decision of the Judge and jury
tha officers of the law, upon infor-
nation that trouble has occurred in
any home, have the right OF entry
without warrant, is such reversion
of the generally accepted view OF the
inviolability of ones home, that the
Harris case has outgrown, the mere
consideration of his life and liberty,
has outgrown the probable affront
shown the Negro race through him,
and has become a case in which all
citizens of both races can we'll afford
to take interest. That court would
permit a bowling mob to surround the
building in which jury is deliberat-
ing and lay that jury liable to the ac-
cusation that it's opinions were influ-
enced by popular opinion, after hav-
ing refused a change of venue, does
not tend to make one believe that a
fair and impartial trial was its aim.
Yet SO astounding is the law as in
terpreted and SO much violence does
the opinion do to established custom,
that for the sake of the rights of
everyone, and disregarding the ef-
feet it will have on the Harris case,
The Statesman believes his case
should be appealed. The colored citi-
zens from whose ranks the victim of
this latest legal monstrosity has
come, ought to take the lead.
Let everybody consider this matter
more than an academic problem, it is
Colorado's beginning of unequal ap-
plication of the law, twisting to dc
injustice to a black man because he
is black. We can get little public
support because a Negro is unjustly
treated, but when we show the peo.
pie OF the state that just as every
attempt made upon our liberties has
finally been used to injure white peo
pie, so now, this decision effects ev-
eryone, we can get the moral support
of all good men.

There are 100000 independents.

Tho American Negro problem is the

be remembered that these persons are
Americans by birth and descent. They
represent for the most part four or five
American born generations being in that
respect one of the most original American
groups in the land. Moreover. the Ne
