Make Haste Slowly

There is to be state meeting of
Negro voters" in Colorado Springs
this month if the invitation OF M. b.
Brooks, editor of the Pueblo Times,
brings together enough of the great
and wise to make a showing. Mr.
Brooks does not tell us how repre-
sentatives are to be chosen, though
he intimates that the meeting is to
be representative. Possibly he has
some occult power whereby he can di-
vine the persons upon whom the
choice of the colored voters would
fall and the invitation scheme is a
short cut But he seems to us to be
guilty of grave omission when he
does not tell the chosen few what
they are to do.
We are left to infer that this pro
posed meeting is like others of the
past held under similar conditions
held to select officers, and that is all
The parliamentary gymnastics and
aeronautics are just the ritual with
which another piratical undertaking
is to be christened. Delegates will be
anybody with railroad fare and cheek
enough to pose as representatives OF
colored voters. Nothing will be con
sidered seriously except who shall
get the easy money" Being in no
measure representative, the officers
chosen will make up in bombast what
they lack in power. And yet, despite
their claims, they will sell for price
SO ridiculously low that the race will
appear the dupes of bad leaders
The state meeting" idea is old
very old. 1t is SO old that the ear
marks of touch" can be seen afar
By some fallacious reasoning the men
who lend themselves to the idea
think that there is power in mere or
ganizat;on and numbers. Brains and
thorough-going endeavor which all
men find the open road to success is
too slow for them. Easy money" is
their goal and they delude themselves

ALMOST LOST HIS LIFE.

S. A. Std, of Mason, Mich, will
never forget his terrible exposure to
merciless storm. "It gave me a
dreadful cold" he writes, that caus-
ed severe pains in my chest, SO it
was hard for me to breathe. A neigh
Dor gave me several doses of DR..
Kings New Discovery which brought
great relief. The doctor said l was
on the verge of pneumonia, but to
continue with the Discovery. l did
so and two bottles completely cured
me-" Use only this quick. safe, reli-
able medicine for coughs, colds, or
any throat or lung trouble. Price soc
and s1.00. Trial bottle free. Guaran-
teed by all druggists.

HONOR is DUE THE PIONEER.

There is a peculiar merit in being
a pioneer. Whether of thought or
travel, or of industry, the man who
leads off is credited with not merely
his own, but to some degree a part
of that of all others who follow after
him. The growing interest that is
being taken in Africa as a field of op-
portunity for the American Negro
causes us to call attention to the fact
that Denver is the home of one man
who is a pioneer of African emigra-
ton agitation. We refer to j. n
Walker. Mr.. Walker for many years
has made Africa his unending song,
at first entirely out of accord with
the community, but one which others
have fallen in with to degree that
now makes him one of many where
once he stood alone. 1t is the wide
acquaintance which he has with per
sons in America and abroad similar
ly enthused over the opportunity
Africa offers, which has made pos.
sible the land grant to the Colorado
Colonization Company from the Lii
berian government He has attract
ed the attention Of many leading
statesmen so that, while African emf
grafton has not yet been adopted Sc
riously as a solution of the Negro
problem, yet the attempt already
there in the republic of Liberia to
show what the Negro can accomplish,
is meeting with encouragement at
the hands of Congress. We do not
mean that he alone has accomplished
this last, but it is the seed he has
sown that has raised up so many
champions of black endeavor under
black government. We might go on
and recount other things he has done
for Africa we might detail the steps
by which these things have been
done, but after all, when his work is
Franklin's paper the statesman., 1912-03-02
Roosevelt, RevoIutionist!

The Ohio speech of Theodore
Roosevelt is more of revolution than
of reform. He has left behind the
usual principles of the Republican
party and has gone beyond Bryan in
progressive" ideas. He wants not
only initiative and referendum, recall
of executive officers and judges, but
even wants court decisions subject to
popular approval. There is where he
overleaps himself. Two thousand
years of court adjudications since the
old Roman law makers laid down the
foundations of our modern practice
have made certain conditions of bust
ness and private life established as
lawful. Now all this is to be sacri-
feed if the Roosevelt plan is put into
practice, for instead of weighing well
the effect of a decision on the future
and judging it by all that the world
has known, popular will would be the
final adjudicator. We hardly think
that even he believes the results of
elections so infallibly right The
rights of property and of life ought
not be made the sport of election ma
chimes. Unpopular owners and unde-
sirable people will cease to have even
legal rights when popular majorities
to Negroes is evident. Regardless of
any personal preferences or likes, be-
cause of the governmental ideas he
espouses, we must oppose the nomin-
alton of Theodore Roosevelt for pres
ident Self preservation demands it.
We are already threatened sufficient
ly by the initiative and referendum,
and by the recall and by all the other
schemes for making popular will the
incarnation of law and justice. But
this last proposal of Roosevelt is too
dangerous, 1t will be hard indeed
for any man to be nominated whose
platform is more inimical to our safe
ty.
Some day we trust, there will be
such mutual respect between the
races that we need not fear that lack
of might will mean loss of rights, but
the history of this nation in this gen
Grafton makes it clear that we cannot
have too many bulwarks between us
and the hatred of the mob. Let At
lanta, let Springfield, let the cross.
road trees with their dangling victim
of Judge Lynch, let even Denver with
it's threats of violence to colored prop
erty owners in white neighborhoods,
be a warning to Negroes that law and
not popular caprice is their protec'
ton. We get little enough of justice
now, but we cannot conceive how in.
itiative or referendum or recall or
commission form of government, or
any other socialistic notion which is
taken up before men have learned to
love each other, can avail us anything
in any section of the country. But on
the other hand the trail of blood and
rapine reaches from home to home,
covers whole states and sections
showing where blacks have been the
victims of hate. What of the future
under Roosevelt when this hate will
be dignified and legalized by popular
vote on the decisions of courts, and
not contrary to law as it now is?
Franklin's paper the statesman., 1912-03-02

summed up, It is because he has been
willing to stand alone in an unpopu-
lar cause, Illuminated and encour-
aged only by his own consciousness
that he was right, that Mr.. Walker is
entitled to honor. 1t is for his pio-
neer spirit that Denver has reason
to be proud of him. If century
hence, black men shall have achieved
civilization and government in
Africa that is creditable, or in fact if
they have done so anywhere, it will
be because of the beginning made in
Liberia and to that beginning such
men as Mr.. Walker have lent much
by procuring for it favorable hear
ing.

with the belief that conventions will
blot out the memory of the still hunts
which they have made for the dollars
of leaders of both parties. They know
full well that honest participation in
public affairs on any side, and with
any party, has advantages in money
and in honor, but that means hard
work and honest service, which they
are not willing to give.
The Statesman believes that the
time has come when the intelligence
of the masses of the Negro race de-
serves to be spared the shame of dark
lantern leadership. Let the strong
lead. Our hope of betterment through
political activity lies in strong men
who are able to take their place in
the councils of parties. Our cause
must be taken up as is the cause of
others. 1t is too late to have our
situation considered after party coun-
ellis have decided, no matter how
large or how influential our commit
tees of protest are. In Colorado the
race has twice had men on the inside
of politics, once in the Republican
party and now once in the Democratic
party. The Republican was objected
to by Negroes because he kept the
activities of political highwaymen of
the race within limits. They repre-
sented TO the Republican state ma
chine that neither they nor any other
colored voters would make requests
to the party through him, or receive
orders from it with him as spokes-
man. The Democrat labors under the
burden of criticism which properly
belongs to his party. Negroes per
sist in blaming him personally for
conditions created by his party of
which he is only small part Not
all Negroes are thus guilty, but the
silent majority do not Offset the activ-
tiles of the small coterie of plunder-
ers who clamor for easy money"
We do not mean to crown with a
halo such Negroes as get up in pol
itics. But they ought not be sub
jected to the assaults of lot o.
| beach-combers whose only complaint
against colored leaders is that they
can no longer ply their trade. They
know the swift condemnation that
would be visited upon them by the
race if their motives were known, and
SO the TRADES and Misrepresentation
that hamper the real leaders we have
in politics, are always of unknown
dulliOI snip.
Colorado Negroes, /. is time to
clean house! 1t is time to take
stock. Count well your virtues, but
let no shame prevent you from weigh
ing well the mistakes which ignor
ance and Indifference have caused
you to make. Stand on your merits
in politics, giving an honest vote, to
your full voting strength and demand
ing of parties that they accord to you
what you have earned and requiring
at the hands of men who seek to rep
resent you that their activities shall
be for more than self.
In the meanwhile the time-hallowed
state meeting" can best be left alone
until the men who stand sponsor for
it shall have proven that endeavor
for the race is their aim.
There is legitimate money in pol
itics and we are glad to see colored
persons get it for work, for newspa-
per service, for speeches and the like
But we are going to brand every at
tempt at watering political stock, no
matter who is the offender.
