Hey, youse, beat it!'' exclaim-
ed the policeman angrily; and
the peddler, casting a look of abb
ject fear upon the man in blue,
hurried off at a run.
These East-side peddlers have
not a grain of courage / remark
ed to my cafe friend.
Perhaps they have courage of
a different order," he answered
musingly. For instance:
six o'clock was the execution
hour which Prince Nicholaievitch
had set for, his daily amusement
when he was sent to Tomsk to put
down the rebellion there. At that
hour every evening his gallows
bore their fruit of death, while
the prince, standing in the center
of his troops, barred his head to
the national anthem that struck
up as the traps fell.
"Of all the savages. that bore
the cars commission, none out
ranked the prince in bloodthirsti-
ness and rapacity. He was a thief,
but a butcher as we'll. Even his
own troops revolted from the
wholesome murders which he
committed on the wretched citi-
zens.

Certainly the revolutionaries
were ,cowed. Nay, the prince, it
was said, had even sighed over
the end of his work and asked to
be transferred. to some more for T
midable district, when a man was
taken, by night at his, very bed
side, armed with a@loaded pistol.

so amazed was the prince at
this audacity-for, but for the
vigilance of the dog that slept
under the couch, he would have
paid with his life for his misdeeds
of cruelty-that he forbore to
torture the assassin. He even
smiled encouragingly as he or
dered him to be hanged upon the :
gallows in the public square at
6 O'Clock on the following after
noon, as though to say: Your
life must pay the penalty. But I
have respect for you, my revolt
tionary friend, as one brave man
for another. And at a few min
utes before 6 the man was
brought forward in the center of
the hollow square of troops, and
Prince NichoIaevitch, addressing
him with ironical Difference, ask.
ed whether he would send some
message to any whom he might
leave behind.

STEWART is LIKE THE GREAT
APOSTLE.

The Republican party in Colorado
seems on the eve of a reform within
its own ranks. We refer to the pro-
nounced disposition shown by candi-
dates for nomination on the party
ticket, to go before the public and
show their wares. The best answer
to the charge that the party is ma
chine controlled and corporation rid
den, is the open fight for nominations.
In this respect, Phil Stewart of Colo
RADIO Springs, candidate for the nom
ination for governor, has made the
beginning. Just to show how strong
is the appeal of the man who fights in
the open, we can site his case. He
is the leader of the Roosevelt forces
in Colorado. The Statesman is for
Taft and against Roosevelt. But the
manly utterance of Mr.. Stewart when
he said in a recent interview that
having participated in the state con-
vention that sent delegates to the ma
tional Republican convention pledged
to Taft, he could not conscientiously
participate in rump convention for
Roosevelt is so clear and rings SO
true, that we are like King Agrippa
when he said to the Apostle Paul
that he was almost persuaded to be a
Christian.
Yet we are not surprised. Mr..
Stewart is the kind of man that is
the glory of the Republican party.

PAYING TOO MUCH FOR ITS
WHISTLE.

The Peoples Sunday Alliance gave
publicity to resolutions endorsing one
of the parties which was contender
in the recent election. We are sorry
that this institution which was begun
and has been, continued on lines that
have meant so much to the colored
citizens of Denver has allowed itself
to be led astray into the maze of
party politics. There are too many
grave questions on which the interests
of all Negroes are identical, and on
which they are agreed, for politics,
from which we get only minor results
at best, to lead the Alliance from its
one great purpose. The men now ac-
tive in the Alliance need to distin-
guish between what is possible and
what is desirable. There is no ques-
ton that they were able to agree on
partisan step, but they can hardly
defend it as wise. Least of all can
they say that in doing so, they speak
the sentiments of the community. For
it is unhappily true that the returns
to the Negro race, of protection
through legislation, or of money
through protected interests and Office
are SO small the majority of our peo-
pie have no sentiments that clamor
for expression in resolutions or other
wise.
Franklin's paper the statesman., 1912-06-08

Up to the time that we go to press
the sum total of the places given the
colored citizens of Denver by the Cit
liens party is three janitors, two at
the court house and one at the bath
house. In doing this they displaced
one janitor and took away the license
inspector, which was the position of
largest influence and prestige we had
in the city government. The States
man is desirous of being fair to the
Arnold administration. But the truth
is that it is being watched closely
with a view of ascertaining it's atti-
tude toward us. 1t cannot afford to
neglect us if it builds any hopes upon
us for the future 1t cannot even stop
at swapping it's own colored support
ers for Speer appointees. The COM
munity is demanding of the leaders of
the Citizens party who are Negroes,
that they make good the promise of
equitable treatment given out before
election,
Franklin's paper the statesman., 1912-06-08

The worth of the colored citizen is
measured largely by his ability to
meet conditions. Therefore the need
is grave that we see clearly and
work resolutely to do the best we
can 1t matters not that we are hand
icapped by lack of commercial train
ing and of money, nor that we suffer
from race prejudice. Our work is
what the world weighs us by, and as
it is good or bad, we will stand or
fall.
