The Colorado statesman. [volume] (Denver, Colo.) 1895-1961, 1915-08-28
(From Boston Reliance)

This country is overcrowded to-
day with men who are forcing
themselves into the public eye,
preying upon its impulses and
fleeing its pocketbooks under the
guise of race problem solvers.
They travel in cliques, establish
headquarters in the large cities +;
but the perfdy which they practice
upon the public reverberates with
such rapidity as to keep up per-
petual confusion within their
ranks. Every now and again there
is rumpus, an exchanging of ep-
ithets in the press, a breaking up
and a division, after which the
prime movers call together another
another clique, change the name
and with new pathos start out
again on their avowed determina-
ton to keep up confusion,
The methods employed are in
dignation meetings, holding cele-
brations in honor of dead heroes,
resolving, protesting and urging
the people to petition for the re
form of conditions for which they
are in many ways responsible. AS
finis of these meetings they pass
the hat around for the coin and
tell the people that their is some
thing beside money that they
should live for.
III you have carefully studied
the political situation from the
time that the children of Israel
left Egypt down to present segre-
CATION policies introduced by the
Democratic party now in power at
Washington, you will admit that
politics, generally speaking, are of
such a vacilating nature that they
never were, are not now, and never
will be, controlled by man; and
that any changes which have
brought beneficial results to any
depressed race from this source
have not resulted from any vicious
tactics, or vituperatiye agitation
but from time and patience, coupl-
ed with a manly presentation of
the cause of complaint by reliable
rather than spurious, representa-
tives and rare occasion, operated
and eliminated by the hand of
destiny.
Men who engage in the race
problem business on the political
basis are usually men who have
been educated beyond their means.
They believe that the Negro
should be accorded every con-
sideration except the one which
has been the foundation upon
which every other race has made
lis place in the world and that is
by controlling it's own Industries
Yet they must live and, too, up
on these industries. They imag-

inc themselves clothed in dignity
and elegance superior to other men
that to work at honest employ
ment is a reflection upon their
station in life, so they scheme to
get by on their wits. The politi-
cal phase of the race problem ques-
ton with its precarious vioissitudes
presents an issues for every minute
in the day upon which the race
problem solvers may direct the at.

pull the coin into the hat. This
field of operation presents so many
points for plausible argument that

ing as he impresses the public, and
end his work without having ac-
complished anything for the race
or himself. In summing up their
arguments, we can but conclude
that they are class of men WHO
are living in advance of their age.
| They are in too mnch of a hurry
for the things which are to come.
They should go off the earth now
and come back again few hun
dred years hence when they will
find things arranged to their lik-
ing.
There is another class of race
problem solvers who do not ina
gine the world as it used to be, or
as it ought to DE. but who take it
Just as it is and make the most
they can of.it They realize that,
in order to live for something,
there must be something to live
with, and put forth every effort to
possess themselves of something to
live with, in order to have some.
thing to liyeitor. They believe 1st in
honest employment, second in hon
est cooperation, third in honest
accumulations, fourth in the con-
troll of part of the worlds indus
tries as the stepping stones to po-
litical recognition. These are ele.
ments of the environments of life
which are absolutely under mans
control.
They furnish the money for the
campaign funds and the money
which pays the politician for the
performance Of his official duties.
The fame of the man who reaches
the top of the political ladder is
short lived. The next climber
throws him back from whence he
came and he seldom climbs again.
The man who climbs the ladder of
wealth always finds plenty of room
at the top with no one to dispute
his claim.

imaaines himself one of the chos-
en- few spoken of in the 6fth book
of Moses, with reference as follows;

EXPECT 100000 HERE
FOR LINCOLN JUBILEE

Chicago, Aug. %, 1915-Down
at the Coliseum today a tall well
built man in natty brown busi-
ness suit and soft felt hat, with
gold watch chain strung across his
vest, stood directing exhibits. F'if-
ty years ago his forbears were
bending under the weight of cot
ton bales on southern plantations.
He exemplified in small way the
rise of his race. When the exhib-
its have been placed, the public
will know what a big success the
Negro has won in virtually every
industrial and professional field.
The sounds of hammers were
heard all day Saturday in the Coli
scum. The large hall is packed
with the goods that are coming
from every state in the unicn.
In addition more than 100000 COL
ored people are expected to visit
Chicago during the time the ex-
position is on, from Aug. % to
Sept. 16. for which the state legis-
ture gave $4,000 unconditionally
and $4,000 more if the exposition
raises like sum.
Officially the exposition opened
Sunday with religious service.
Recognizing this the city counsel
adopted a resolution making Mon
day holiday in the city hall, in
honor of the colored race. The
county board this week adopted
similar resolution.
Bishop Samuel Fallows, president
of the jubilee exposition, said to-
day that perhaps 100000 Negroes
will be in Chicago during the cele.
bration.
"Think of 1.-THE greatest Ne
gro churches are to have conyen-
tions here in that time" he said
THAT means the Baptist church
colored section; the Methodist
Episcopal church, North; the Afri.
can Methodist Episcopal which
has no less than thirteen
bishops; the colored Methodist
Episcopal church, southern in
stitution; the colored wings of the
Roman Catholic church. Tuske-
gee institute will have a good re-
presentation. Every Negro insti-
tuition will have exhibits"
G. f. Gunthef's collection of
Lincoln Relics, including the bed
on which the president died, the
carriage he used, and his personal
effects will be shown. The press
of the abolitionist Lovejoy also
will be on exhibition. An odd fea-
ture will be the display of cannon
balls and guns of the civil war,
alongside of modern munitions,
including replica of the shells of
the German seventeen inch gun
which has been so effective in the
advance into Russia.
Bishop Fallows sent letters to-
day to all ministers of the city, in
viting them and their congrega-
tions to participate in the opening
exercises Sunday afternoon.

EASY To DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Yon Can Bring Back Color and lustre
With Sage Tea and
Sulphur

When you darken your hair with
Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can tell,
because it's done so naturally, so
evenly. Preparing this mixture,
though, at home, is mussy and trou'
blesome. For so cents you can buy At
any drug store the ready-to-use tonic
called "Wyeths Sage and Sulphur
Compound" You just dampen a
sponge or soft brush with 1t and draw
this through your hair, taking one
small strand at time. BY morning all
gray hair disappears, and after another
application or two, your hair becomes
beautifully darkened, glossy and lux
uriant You will also discover dandruff
is gone and hair has stopped falling.
Gray, faded hair, though no disgrace,
is a sign of old age, and as we all de-
sire youthful and attractive appear

Starr. the bandit leader who is now in
the Lincoln County Jail at Chandler
Okla. with a broken leg, as the re-
sult of his capture, one week ago,

had taken the banks papers when
they rifled the bank at Caney, Kan
several years ago. and he said he
took them Just SO the farmers would
not have them to pay. 1t was sug
gested to Starr that the papers should
be burned but he was afraid the
smoke would attract attention to his
hiding place.

career was told yesterday by long

Starr is really one of the kindlies

and it was at this time that the mort

never known, but a man who saw thu
