Help Free Kansas City

airy once astonished the army by re-
porting not a single desertion in
twelve months, an unheard of and
undreamed of record.
Their service during the Spanish
War and since has shown our colored
troops to be infinitely better fitted for
service in our tropical dependencies
than white troops. Company L, of the
F~orty-ninth Volunteers, composed
wholly of colored men, and command
ed by Capt. E. l.. Baker, a colored vet
eran who had served for seventeen
years in the Ninth and Tenth cavalry,
made a record which no white COM
pany remotely approached. This
company had OIL its rolls during a
period of twelve months, one hundred
and six men who were fit for duty at
all times and lost a day on &C
count of sickness. More extraordi-
nary still is the fact that during the
same period not n of these men ever
went before a court-martial. Surely
a striking illustration of what can be
done by colored officers! Such traits
enabled Gen. A. S. Burt, in relinquish-
ing command of the Tw~enty-ifth In
fantry. on April II, 1902, to quite the
Inspector General of the army as say
ing: THE Twenty-ffth Infantry is
the best regiment l have seen in the
Philippines" 1t was noticeable, too,
that neither the officers nor the men
of any colored regiment figured in the
charges and counter-charges which
arose out of the use of the water
cure" in the Islands.
Since 1870 there have been four col
ored regiments in our regular estab-
lishment, two of cavalry and two of
infantry, but there has never been a
colored artillery organization in the
regular service. When ten regiments
and several units of artillery were
added in 1901, the colored citizens of
America were deeply offended that
Secretary Root failed to recommend
the establishment of any colored regi-
ment.
Now that the question is before
Congress again. the National Associa-
ton for the Advancement of Colored
People urges that the right of these
ten million citizens to participate to
the full in every phase of our national
life be recognized by designating two
of the artillery regiments and two of
infantry, of those about to be created
by Congress, as open for enlistment
to colored Americans.

Washington, March 29.--The follow
ing letter recently sent to the chair
men of the House and Senate commit
tees or military affairs and others,
voices the demand of 10000, 900 native
born, English-speaking, American cit
liens for the right to serve their u
try at this crisis. Citizens petitioning
for the right to enlist in our army,
while the Tenth cavalry is bearing the
brunt in Mexico!
Dear Sir: At the suggestion of Mr..
Oswald Garrison Willard, treasurer of
this association, / am appealing for
your support of the request that two
regiments of artillery and two of in
fantry of those aobut to be created, be
designated as open for the enlistment
of colored soldiers.
The adjutant general has stated that
he doubted if $4,000 regulars could
be recruited in the United States.
There is no difficulty in recruiting col
ored regiments. Yet while officers are
tearing their hair to get white recruits,
the sign is up, mo colored man want
ed" Does 1t not seem a ridiculous
program of preparedness which DELHI
erately excludes the best material
we've got?
That is no idle boast. When the
Fifty-fourth Massachusetts stormed
Fort Wagner in '63 1t established for
all time the fact that the colored sol
der could fight and fight well. The
history of the Ninth and Tenth caval-
ry in the Indian fights between 1868
and 1890 piled up the evidence of
their courage and loyalty.
There have been notably fewer de-
sertions from the colored regiments
than from the white. The Ninth cav

payers the past -four years?
2. What has been done with the 31k
millions in surplus revenue, which has

8. Why was the police appropriation

5. Why is Kansas City in the class
with two other localities, which pay

ance in the United States?
6. Why have the streets been left
filthy and full of holes?
Z. Why were thousands of postage
stamps taken from the Water Works
department to send out notices of the
mayors town meetings?
s, Why are you afraid to let the
Union Station bonds be resubmitted
so that the people may decide the
question?
9.Why did you declare for resub-

10. Why did you urge the passage

IL. Why, for the past few weeks,
has the city's payrolls been over

KANSAS CITY FACES WATER
FAMINE.

kansas City will face a water FAM
inie this summer. There is no way to
avoid it under present conditions.
There has been no money spent and
no improvements made in the better
ment of the water supply the four
a that Shannon has kept Jost at
the City Hall.
There has not been an additional
flow line from the pumps to supply the
uptown quidiron system. There has
been about 80 miles of new water
mains laid in the new territory added
to the city by the extension of the
limits.
"The pumping capacity must be in
direct proportion to the number and
size of mains. In other words, the
consumption has increased greatly
without a corresponding increase in
the pumping facilities.
There has been no increase what
ever or improvement during the Jost
administration. The last flow line inn
provement was made during Mayor
Browns administration. We are now
up to the full pumping capacity. when
summer brings on the great increase
in the demand for water, we viii have
a disastrous water shortage.
Fire insurance rates will rise au-
tomatically."
