"Our color is a royal one. God

Three-fourths Of mankind are colored
Their future cannot be overestimated
The black is the only man that can
do full days work in any quarter Of
the globe he finds himself in.
Monuments in north Africa show
that the black man had a part in the
worlds first civilization. The capacity
of the race for suffering is great and
is one Of the essentials to the success
Of any race or Of individuals. 1t was
a man from the darker races that bore
the cross Of Christ up Calvary.

VALOR OF TENTH CAVALRY
WINS GENUINE APPLAUSE
Famous Regiment First to Face En-

The New York Globe. commenting on
the valor of the Tenth United States
cavalry, says in its issue of June 23.
1t was a detachment of the Tenth
cavalry, brigaded with Roosevelt $
rough riders, that had the honor Of
suffering at Las Guasimas the first
casualties in the war for the liberation
Of Cuba. 1t Is the same Tenth that
has the honor of suffering the first
casualties in a war which, if it occurs
will result, let us hope in the liberia
ton Of Mexico from an anarchy com
parable to that which afflicted Cuba,
The Tenth cavalry is recruited from
Americans Of African descent. Its
stalwart troopers have an excess of
pigment in their skin. They are men
Of color. But though their complex
ions are dark there is no lack Of Amer
icanism in their hearts. Members of
race that has had and still has good
grounds for complaining of the justice
Of their fellow citizens of paler faces,
no hyphenism taints them. The flag
is their fag-the flag Of Lincoln, not
of Vardaman. and they are the first to
defend it.
The Tenth is not only credit to the
race Of which it's members are com
posed, but to the country whose uni,

MINNESOTA CONGRESSMAN
FAVORS SHORTER HOURS
FOR THE MAN WHO
TOLLS,

Congressman Thomas D. Schall,
representing the Tenth Minnesota
district, has taken up the defense of
the man who tolls and has been given
keen attention. Congressman Schall
says:
Yesterdays mistake warns US
against the blunder of tomorrow.
Our mistake in the past has been an
endeavor to transform our workers
into high speed machines, without re-
gard for the economic waste to the
worker or to the race. Faster faster.
faster, pile up the garments; heap up
the profits, no matter if rest and
health and proper food be denied the
weary laborer; no matter if girlish
forms be withered and the promise of
our national motherhood is blighted;
no matter if the cheeks pale and the
chest becomes hollow.
Cheap Labor Not Prosperity.
"Cheap labor and long hours have
not helped to bring prosperity. The
laborer goes home at night too
weary to think after long day of
toll, at underpaid wages, to a meanly
furnished, dark, unsanitary home, a
scant unnourishing supper and hum
py comfortless bed. He wakes early,
dons his sweaty clothes and with
them the hopeless, disspirited thoughts
that envelop them. What chance for
him to expand, to improve his mind,
to enjoy Gods fresh air and sunshine?
at is not the question altogether
to the employer, how many shoes
are made, but how many shoes are
sold. Let us look to it that fewer of
our countrymen have shoeless feet.
With more leisure, more time for re-
Election, comes desire for improve
ment, for better living.
Greatest Good Real Aim.
"The governments aim should be
the greatest good for the greatest
number. Shorten the day of labor.
Every movement toward the shorter
Gay for the laboring man is a move
ment toward his enfranchisement.
Every man should have the right
to work, the right to sleep and the
right to Dlay. The Drob1em that con-
fronts the United States today is to
tighten the burden of the working
classes. The ideal of our country can
never be realized, we shall never cap
ture the spirit of liberty, while half
the people are starving and the other
half faring sumptuously every day."

the completeness of information OF

ing some statements as did the two
old Irish ladies. The archbishop had
preached fine sermon on married

out Of church commenting on the ad-

about a better understanding in the

"While the utopian state in this un-

may never be, yet nevertheless we are

"Having had opportunity to observe
