is saving the situation not one bit to
assume that the colored man is
wrong. Sometimes because of race
feeling, both whites and blacks lay
aside the common courtesies which
they know ought to distinguish the
everyday lives of civilized peoples.
Seats for women in street cars ought
not be considered an imposition on
men. Possibly there are not many
who step over the color line to be
courteous to the women of the other
race, but if it is right under any con-
ditions, it is right under all condi-
tions Color makes no difference.
While we know from experience
that some white women do not show
ordinary civility when rendered a
street car seat by a Negro, yet II
good breeding and courtesy means
anything to the man, he should prac-
tice it even if at times he does so in
the presence of persons so lost to
good sense and good manners. Col
ored men must not leave off what Is
wholesome and right because white
men do not practice it and some
white women do not appreciate it.
Let's be bigger than the place into
which attempt is made to thrust our
race. Let us not be so little as to
prove ourselves fit only to be showed
aside Respect of others is always OF
less concern than respect for ones
self.

The case of friction between the
races which came up on the street
cars recently in the arrest of the
colored man after he had been as
saulted nv several white men, brings
forcibly to mind the hazardous cohol-
tions under which we live even in
Denver. The Statesman recognizes
that the colored man is hopelessly
outweighed in competent testimony
as TO the actual facts, for the several
men will certainly justify themselves
even though they are wrong. And 1t

this is the signal honor that has come
recently to Lawyer Townsend wheh

money which it took from it because
of the acts of w. A. Rice. The case
was fought bitterly in the lower

COMPROMISE WOOL
BILL Is PASSED
Measure Assured Of Presidential
Veto Along with Revised
Steel Bill.

The second of four tariff bills that
have been in conference committee Of
the two houses was passed by the SenRte
yesterday and will go to the President.
The first measure was a bill revising the
metal schedule. which was agreed to
Saturday. The second one Is the bill
revising the wooden schedule, which
passed the Senate yesterday by vote Of
IS to Is. The House of Representatives
agreed to the bill Saturday, and 1t will
now go to the President. where 1t will
undoubtedly meet a veto. and that viii
be the end of 1t for the present. The
wool bill was a compromise measure
and is the same bill that Congress
passed and sent to the President a year
ago and which he vetoed.
There Is no reason to believe that any,
thing has occurred to change the Presi-
dents attitude toward the measure.
Senator La Toilette admitted yesterday
that the compromise bill did not follow
the recommendations of the tariff board.
A number of Republican Senators who
voted for the bill a year ago voted
against it yesterday. Among these were
Senators Borah and Bourne, progress
sives, and Senator Nelson of Minnesota,
who is a near-progressive. Senator Cum
minis was also paired in opposition to
the bill The bill was passed by the
votes Of Democrats, every Democratic
Senator voting for 1t and the following
progressive Republicans: Bristow. Clapp.
Gronna, La Toilette, Works, and Craw-
ford.

GLEN ECHO PARK.

Glen Echo Parks rule of allowing no
turkey trotting, bunny-hugging," nor
freak dancing, which has always been
enforced at the resort, evidently is ap-
preciated by the public, for every night
finds the big pavilion filled. the crowds
being greater than ever before. Last
night was no exception. and the floor
was filled for every number the Charles
o. Mills orchestra played. Both the moon
and the spotlight dances are prime IA
vorites, and bring an encore each time
they are put on
Not only in the pavilion was the heavy
attendance noticeable, for there were
hundreds watching the free motion pic
lures and the coaster, dip, and other
amusement devices were kept busy until
late in the evening. Not even the cool
weather has seemed TO interfere with
the parks patronage, for last nights
crowd was a fair sample of the record
breaking attendance that has marked the
past few weeks.
In addition to the regular free features
the park affords. there will be display
of fireworks on Thursday night that the
management promises will be fully up to
the standard set this season.

HANFQRD'S CASE
FINALLY SETTLED
President Accepts Judges Resigna-
tion After Conference with
Representative Graham.

The case Of Federal Judge Cornelius
w. Hsnford. of the Western District Of
Washington. was finally disposed of yes
terday. Upon the recommendation Of
Attorney General wickersham and Rep
Graham of Illinois. Chairman
of the subcommittee Of the House Judi
ciary Committee, that was sent to Seat
tie to investigate charges against the
Judge, President Taft accepted his resig-
nation yesterday.
Judge Hanford's resignation was ten
dered ten days ago during the progress
of the investigation OF the subcommittee
into charges rejecting upon his moral
and official acts. 1t was made clear at
the time that the resignation was not
called for nor inspired, but was wholly
voluntary. This action was accepted by
the Washington authorities as we'll as
by members of the judiciary handling
the case as evidence of the jurist's guilt
to some extent.
The only reason given in the letter Of
resignation was that the jurist wished
to retire to private life. He was entitled.
by point of service. TO retire on full pay.
but he rendered a fiat resignation. The
President declined to accept or reject 1t
pending the outcome of the House inves-
t.gation looking TO impeachment proceed
ings.
When the resignation was rendered
Representative Clayton. chairman of the
Judiciary Committee. directed the SUBJ
committee to drop its work and return
to Washington. Since their return 1t was
decided by the committee to drop the
impeachment proceedings with the I'M
that the President would ac-
cept the judges resignation. This was
done yesterday. after the President had
gone over the case with Chairman
Graham. whose committee was under
stood to have developed evidence on
which impeachment proceedings could be
based.
