The COLORED SOLDIER

The Richmond, Va. Times-Dis
patch in its issue recently has the
following to say;
There was nothing in the con
duct of the Negro regulars at Car
rial for which we need blush. AL
| reparts, official and unofficial
point to the fact that the colore6
troopers fought CALAMITY against
overwhelming odds, that they
stood their ground and answered
every command of their white off
GERS, under the deadly fire of the
Mexican machine gun.
This is not the first time that
Negro soldiers have proved theil
courage. They played an impor-
tant part in the battle of Santiago,
and it is recorded that they went
to the rescue of Lieutenant Colon
ell Theodore Roosevelt in the San
Juan engagement at time when
the roughriders were hard pressed.
By his very nature, the Negro
is amenable to discipline, and res
ponds eagerly to it if his orders
come from superiors in when he
has confidence. We know this is
true in civil life, and our military
experience has further emphasized
it. The wisdom of the War de-
partment, therefore, in placing
white officers in command of Ne
gro troops cannot be questioned.
We regret that our very fair
and able contemporary should
have taken this as an argument in
favor of discountenancing Negro
leadership. If a Negro can't lead
a Negro, who can he lead2 You

HOME STEAD LOAN AND
SAVING INSTITUTION

Springfield should rise to her
strength and begin to do things on
the larger permanent order. The
colored people of Decatur have
started Homestead Savings AS
sociation, or something similar,
into which each member pays at
least $1,000 per month. If they
have ten members, that will be,
in ten months, 81 900; 20 members,
81, 900. So you see that, within a
yeas or two, they will have strong
institution and be prepared To help
each other and the community.
Surely we can get up a similar in
stitution and get 20 or 30 members
easily. At the State House alone
we can get 10 men at $40 per mo.
That is a saving Institution that
will not interfere with the civil
service regulations in the least.
This affair should be looked af-
ter, and the right parties should
take the initiative. After learning
more about the Decatur project,
we shall make further comment.
We must be up and doing here.

COMPULSORY
EDUCATION FOR
OLD LOUISIANA

The present Louisiana House of
Representatives has passed the bill
providing for compulsory school
attendance by the large majority
of 81 to 18. The Times -Picayune
New Orleans) observes that IA
few years ago a similar measure
was badly defeated and the oppo-
sition then shown gave little hope
that any law of this kiud would be
passed for many years to come. +"
many of the objections urged a.
gainst the law have been refuted
by the favorable results of COM
pulsory education in other states.
Hence Louisiana falls in line. The
Times Picayune said futher, 1T
is now recognized that the State
must offer every child a chance to
secure an education and must see
that all children utilize the oppor-
tunity oifered.them in its schools"
1t has been remarked that one pos
sible difficulty is the fact that COM
pulsory attendance generally in
creases the number of students,
calling for more teachers, more
sochol buildings and accommoda-
tions. No doubt this will prove
TO be a great advantage to all con
cerned in the long run.

1t was detachment of the 10th
cavalry, brigaded with Roosevelt's
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
10th that has the honor of suffer
ing the first casualties in war
which, if it occurs, will result, let
us hope, in the liberation of Mex
leo from an anarchy comparable
to that which afflicted Cuba.

CHURCH MORTGAGE
BURNED

Last Wednesday evening men,
bers and friends of New Hope
Baptist Church gathered at the
church to witness the burning
of the mortgage of the church
This mortgage represented an IN
debtedness of $1,000 and was
cleared away few weeks ago by
members of the Ladies Sewing
Circle. The program of the even
ing consisted of number of songs
by the choir, the history of the
church by H. X. Wilson, from
bone solo by Mr. Mills and burn
ing of the mortgage by Mrs. ella
Washington, the oldest member
of the church, and we'll known to
all as mother Washington. The
ashes of the mortgage were pre-
sented to Mrs. Maggie Neilsone OF
the leading workers against the in
debtedness and a lady indefatig-
able in church work of any kind
A silver offering was then taken
in the bowl the mortgage was
burned in, as the nucleus for the
money to build a new church.

HUMPHREY AGAINST UNIONS

Comparison of Records of Poindexter
and Humphrey on Legislation of
Interest to Organized Labor
Mr. James A. Duncan,
Secretary Seattle Central Labor
Council.
Dear Sir and Brother:
Replying to your favor of August s
| for the legislative records of Senator
Miles Poindexter and Representative
! William e. Humphrey, | take pleasure
in sending you herewith a detailed
record of their votes on measures of
! interest to labor which have come be
! fore the senate and house during their
membership therein, and in addition |
am pleased to state that Senator
| Poindexter has rendered equally good
service in the United States senate as
! he did in the house of representatives.
He has responded to our every call
without evasion, without excuse and
without hesitancy He has been, in
!
ically helpful in behalf of labor
measures and legislation fayoring the
best interests of all the people.
With regards to Representative
Humphrey, you will note his record
is conspicuous for his negligence and
hostility. Representative Humphrey
! to CHI
his contempt for the organizations of
labor and their endeavors to secure
remedial legislation at the hands of
congress. He is one of the "old
guard" that boast of their fidelity to
| the arbitrary will of former Speaker
| Cannon An analysis of his voting
record shows that he had sc oppOr-
tunities to vote on labor measures.
! He voted Is times favorably, II times
against labor, twice he answered
present" and 10 times he was mot
voting"
Representative Humphrey availed
himself Of every opportunity to pre-
vent the enactment of the Seamen's
law, which the American Federation
of Labor championed for over twenty
years. He evidently did not want the
general public to go down to the sea
in safety any more than he wanted
the seamen to have decent treatment
and the normal freedom of human
being.
1t is to be sincerely hoped that the
intelligent people of Washington will
avail themselves of the great oppor
tunity now afforded them to retire
William E. Humphrey to private life
and keep him there.
For further information l enclose
herewith a letter written to Mr.
Humphrey by Mr.. Andrew Furuseth
president of the International Sea
mems Union of America, in June, 1910

Humphrey then could be again re
