BUILT TEN ROOM HOUSE
WITH HIS OWN HANDS.
Beeson Dug Up All the Material, Ex-
oept the Concrete, From His Ranch.

A concrete house on the Beeson
ranch, just south of Dodge City. was
one Of the show places Of western
Kansas the past summer. Nearly every
guest in the city was taken to see the
house and to hear the tale about how it
came to be there.
The best part Of the story is that
the material used. except the lumber
and the concrete, was taken from the
ranch upon which 1t stands and that
all the labor in constructing it was
performed by the owner Merritt Bee
son.
Merritt is the son of Chalk Beeson

ASKS EQUAL OPPORTUNITY
FOR cOLORED SOLDIERS
Mono Named In List For Promotion
In Regular Army.

The Rev. DR.. ]. Milton Waldron.
pastor of the Shiloah Baptist church
In Washington and organizer for the
National Independent Political league.
recently addressed the following open
letter to President William 81. Taft;
President William Howard Taft. Executive
Mansion. Washington:
Dear Sir-Permit me on my own behalf
and on behalf of the National Independ-
ent Political league to thank you for the
stand you take against race prejudice In
the army of the United States. OF which
you are commander in chief. Both my
self and the league / represent stand for
equal rights and opportunities for all
to commend any man or set OF men who
stand for the same principle.
We would beg to remind your eEceilency
of the race prejudice which now extsts
and has existed for more than forty years
against the colored men In the army and
navy of the United States and to appeal
to you as the commander OF the land and
naval forces of our country to use your
influence and good onices In helping to
Danish this hydra headed monster from
the army and navy OF our beloved coun-
try.
You will agree with me that the United
States has no more loyal. brave. compe-
tent and self sacrificing soldiers than the
colored men who have been and who are
now enlisted In the army Of this country.
and yet few. Y any. IN the four ccacred
rogfxnuhts have ovaf beo@~ p0k in4o~ -
regular army a. commissioned onicers.
A. tho examination of enlisted men for
promotion to the position of second lieu
tenant in the regular army which you
have ordered and which appeared in the
public press June 9 does not contain the
name of a single coiored soldier. nor have
We seen the name of any such soldier in
any list for examination which has been
ordered by you since your incumbency of
the office OF chief executive Of the nation.
We cannot believe that you mean to be
q party to race prejudice In the United
States army. nor do we believe that In the
four regiments of colored soldiers in the
United States army there are no enlisted
men who are capable of passing the ex-
animation for second lieutenant. II must
be that your failure to order such men
before the examining board OF the army
for promotion Is an oversight. and We be-
lieve you simply need TO have this mat
ter called to your attention and you will
in the future give colored soldiers well
as soldiers OF Jewish or Hebrew extrac-
tion the same opportunity afforded white
soldiers Yours for equal rights and op-
portunities for all American citizens.

NOTICE.

NOTICE.
Not because we wish to make cd
ious comparison, but to prevent mis-
understandings that arise when We
keep silent, The Statesman wishes to
givk its rates for advertising enter
tai1ments and the reason for them.
BY the line, inserted in the local
news. advertising costs cents. We
have made a feature of entertainment
Advertisements, which are double
column wide and six inches deep, and
fors these a uniform charge is made
of $2.50 the first week and $500 for
each week thereafter. These adver-
tisements and all that are larger are
given the best position in the paper
while smaller advertisements used
for the same purpose, costing less in
are given such other posi-
tto1s as remain when these have
been placed. Therefore the six-inch
1o9ble advertisement has been very
ed1itable for entertainment givers
nd is almost universally used.
NJ ia inevitable that some persons
~ Sksna this rate high and will
draw that conclusion from rates CIV
en- by other papers. We have no de-
sire to injure our competition, but in
justification of our own rates. which
have been unchanged for the last six
years, The Statesman offers to any
and all persons interested the oppor
tunity to investigate its Denver cir
citation. Come any Friday at S
o'clock and see for yourself that We
are delivering the papers We claim.
We have made our rate as low as we
can ana live. Papers sending two
and three hundred and claiming two
and three thousand undoubtedly can
make rates with which We cannot
compete. But just as the larger
amount costs the most, SO the most
circulation brings the larger result
and IL worth the most. The States
man offers its circulation at any time
in proof of its claim that 1t has three
lines the circulation of any colored
paper in Denver.
We hope this explanation of rates
and conditions will set at rest the
Misrepresentation that have been
used to confuse the public.
