GETTING RESULTS
THE MAIN THING

The subject of judicial reform
has been attracting lively interes
in Texas, of late, for the follow
ing reason.
In 1892 one Burrell Oates, 6
Negro, was convicted Of killing
another Negro and given another
short term in the penitentiary. In
November, 1904, a shopkeeper in a
suburb of Dallas was held up, rob-
bed and killed. Burrell Oates and
a white man named Vann were ar
rested for the crime. Vann was
convicted at a separate trial, and
hanged. Oates was convicted; but
the Court of Criminal Appeals re-
versed and remanded the case.
He was tried again, and again con-
victed. Again the Court of Grim
nal Appeals reversed and remand
ed the case Once more he was
tried and convicted. Once more
the higher court set aside the ver-
dict. A fourth time Burrell Oates
came before jury of his peers
and was sentenced to death.
When the case was written up for
the latest nuraber of the Journal
of Criminal Law and Criminology
fifth appeal was pending-with
good prospects, in the opinion of
able lawyers, that the higher court
would once more set aside the ver-
dict and require a sixth trial.
The case contains a great num-
Der of fine legal points, exceeding
ly interesting to a lawyer. But
the popular imagination in Texas
has seized upon this point: A
white man and Negro participat-
ed in the same crime; one man
was promptly hanged, but it
seems impossible to hang the 9TH
er. Hence a widespread demand
for judicial reform! The popular
reasoning may not be logical; but
it promises to get results, which is
the main thing Saturday Even

CHARLES w. WATERMAN.
REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE
U. S. SENATOR (Short Term)

1t is with feelings of great pleas
ure that the Colorado Statesman
presents the cut and short sketch
of Mr.. Waterman, who is a candi-
date for United States senator for
the short term. Mr.. Waterman needs
no fulsome introduction at our
hands to the voters of this fair
city and state. His past life and
achievements are an open book that
those who run may read. His Re-
publicanism and loyalty to the
party have never been questioned;
he has always been to the forefront
and in the thickest of the fray, al
ways battling for the right. He is
not g political office-seeker, al
though friends haNe-begged him to
allow his name to be presented be-
fore conventions. but he had the
laudable ambition to be found
working in the tanks. His well
matured opinions on the progress
sive principles that confront the
American voter are well known
and honored by his thousands of
friends. He knows the needs of
Colorado and will prove a bright
exponent if the voters honor him
by sending him as representative
to the highest tribunal of this gov
ernment, and the Colorado States
man firmly believes that the peo-
pie will thus honor him. We fire.
quently hear of candidate S
many good qualities on the eve of
election, as catch-phrases to en-
snare the unwary voter, but
Mr.. Waterman we can say that he
has at all times been a consistent
friend of the Negro. He has never
turned a deaf ear to any worthy
charity, nor to any worthy cause.

dates for office who only knew

West Union, Ohio, Oct IL
Will j. Rogers of Seaman, known
through this section as the "Black
King of the Air" is planning to
try his hand at the aeroplane game
and now he is to get his chance
through Orville Wright, the Day
ton inventor and aviator who,
hearing of the great courage dis
played by the Seaman ,lored man
in making balloon ascensions de-
cided to give him trial. Accord
ingly Mr.. Rogers is arranging to
go to the Gem City in October,
whero he will become pupil of
the great inventor. Rogers will
remain at the Wright training
grounds at Dayton until the first
of the year, then he will go to the
training grounds in North Caro-
lima. By next spring he hopes to
be able to pilot a craft through
the air and win fame as an aviator.
He made his first flight when but
a mere youth at the Brown county
fair and since then has made thou
sands of flights in all parts of the
country. He had some frightful
experiences, too, but he never lost
his nerve or bulldog courage.

bic gentleman at all times. He is
made of the material that it takes
to make good public officials. and
his great executive ability and fine
legal knowledge amply fits him in
every way to make a splendid
United States senator. If honored
with the confidence of the people,
he pledges a faithful discharge of
every duty placed upon him with
out fear or favor. He has made
a success of his profession and it
seems that he will succeed in the
present campaign. He merits the
honor and confidence of the vot-
ers of the Republican party He is
persistent Republican, and does
not believe in straying off from
his party to adjust matters, when
they can be adjusted in the party.
The people are backing Mr..
Waterman because he is up
right, clean, honorable and tire
less worker for Republican success.
If elected. he will see that every
one, irrespective of color, sex or
race, receives fair and square treat
ment. His reputation as lawyer
and citizen merits him the sup
port of every citizen. The Colora-
do Statesman urges its many read
ers to vote for Mr.. Waterman for

IMPORTANT
FACTS

The Negro problem, long looked
upon as southern question, can
be regarded as such no longer. 1t
concerns the North as well, since
census figures indicate that the
south is becoming whittier, largely
due to the fact that there is
steady migration of the Negro to
the north" Another fact that
complicates the problem is that fig
ures show the Negro to be going
to the city in both the South and
North. The percentage of Ne.
groes for the entire country is lO.7
and for cities of 25, 900 and over it
is 1865. Negroes constitute one
fourth or more of the total popula-
tion in each of rwenty-seven of
these cities, and in four of them
the proportion is more than half.
In each of twelve cities there are
more than 10000 Negroes, while
in Washington, d. O., the Negro
population is 94,446. These fig
ures, presented by Rev. Charles
Stelzle in various organs of the re-
ligious press, show that the Ne
gro is increasing in numbers,
though not as fast relatively as the
whites. And the question that
the white is anxiously asking is
"whether he will be a good Ne
gro or bad Negro" The an
swer, Mr.. Stelzle declares, depends
as much upon the white as upon
the black, and he brings forward
some important facts for the white
man to ponder.
"The Negro will never return to
Africa to establish a LIberian Re-
public. He is the only man in
America who has oeen brought
here against his will. For $50
years there was systematically ex-
plunged from the Negro race the
best qualities which tit man for
citizenship in democracy. Con
sidering the lack of opportunity,
the advice of fool friends, and the
inherent limitations which are both
natural and acquired, the Negro
has done pretty well since the day
that he was set free.
THE fact that the Negro is dy-
ing in such large numbers of tu-
berculosis and other still more
frightful diseases Is, of course,
due to his ignorance and 10 other
reasons for which he is largely re.
sponsible, but we can not forget
that it is also to be charged to the
fact that he is compelled to live in
worste sections of our towns and
cities.
We drive the worst forms of i'm
morality into the Negro quarters
and then curse the Negro because
of his moral weakness.
Complete vital statistics for the
country are impossible to secure,
vet there are certain registration
areas in which figures are kept.
