MONEY SAVED BY PATRONIZING MERCHANTS WHO ADVERTISE IN THIS PAPER. THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY W. T. Vernon Register of the Treasury, Delivers Great Address at Topeka, Kansas Last Tuesday Night on "The Republican Party and the Negro." VOL. XIII. My entire career has been given to the advocacy of those things which in my opinion were for the best of the race which I am proud to defend and whose interests and destiny are linked with mine forever. This is no new theme for me. Those who are familiar with my public utterances and written productions know that I have been uncompromising in my Republicanism and have stood for the principles of this party without fear or favor. I number among the Democrats of this state some warm personal friends, but our personal friendships have not influenced me one iota when it comes to championing these principles which to my mind make best for my people. Nationally, the principles and tenets of the Democratic party are entirely against the Negro and the Negro's interest. It is not necessary for me to say that the states of the South constitute the backbone of the Democratic party of the whole country. What has been the history of the Democrats of the South for the past hundred years? The most galling slavery, suffering and toil the world has ever known has been the part of my people. No home, no marriage ties, no education, no enlightenment. They bared their breasts and went to war that black men might still be slaves. My grandfather was a slave, my father was a slave. If it had not been for the Republican party I would have been a slave and you, my race, and our beloved ones would have been slaves. Appomatox was a fact. Lincoln's work was done. He passed a martyr belond the skies and four million of helpless, suffering, ignorant slaves, like dumb driven cattle, were told that they were free. The South was unwilling to accept that which has been accomplished and Lee's scattered army had hardly reached their homes where Negroes had faithfully kept vigil, had worked and fed their wives and children and protected them, before these same cecessionists immediately set about to re-enslave the faithful blacks who had been all to their families while they were away in the traitorous war. Then came the "Black Codes," a succession of laws among which was one to the effect that unless the Negroes or citizens own fifty dollars' worth of property they would be arrested as vagrants and sold on the auction block to the highest bidder. As a result thousands of black men were immediately seized, sold, and put to work. They were not allowed to have the overplus of their earnings as an accumulation over fifty dollars; but this money was to be used for the support of the "orphans of the country," and thus he was to be kept a vagrant perpetually. Thus originated the present peonage system of the South. In other words, the freedman was sold again and made a slave and his labor was taken to support the orphans of men shot to death in their efforts to blot out the American flag and to erase our country from the map of the earth. The thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the constitution were passed by the Republican party led on by the immortal Summer and others who sought to protect the ex-slaves, left naked in the hands and lands of the enemy. It was argued by the Democrats of the South that the Negro should be disfranchised because of illiteracy. It is a well known fact that instead of educating the Negro out of his illiteracy to know and to do his duty as a voter after enfranchisement, they sought to prevent his education, to make his vote harmful to the commonwealth and thus have an argument for denying him the right to vote. Furthermore at the close of the war, the rebel states refused to return to the union on righteous and even charitable terms on the part of the North and as a result northern men argued that it was best to set up a government in the South to be operated by the enfranchised slave, who, if he could not give the best brain to this operation, at least would as he has always done, give a faithful heart and the patriotism such as has never been surpassed by any people in the history of the world. In other words, the government decided to do that which would protect itself as well as the ex-slave, and as a result governments were inaugurated in all the South, and these states, by reason of Negro representatives who came to Congress, resume their place in the administration of affairs. Not satisfied with these conditions, then came that system of murder by the Ku Klux Klan throughout the South. They were shot at the polls, their families intimidated, their lands and holdings confiscated and there was instituted a reign of terror. The leaders of the "Red Shirt Brigades" went on terrifying and destroying defenseless Negroes who dared to perform their duties as citizens and voters. When we consider the greatness which has been wrought in the South by the Negro's toil and suffering, when we understand that so much of our American national life is a result of his fostering and toil, how much we realize, as did one who said: There are they sowing but never reaping. Building, but never sitting in the shade Of the tall mansions they have made." For the rights of these people I speak. Charles Sumner, in his attempt to set forth that which is justly due the Negro, said, "Casing to be a slave, the former victim has become not only a man but a citizen, admitted alike within the pale of humanity and within the pale of citizenship." As a man he is entitled to all the rights of man, and as a citizen he becomes a member of our common household with equality as the prevailing law. No longer is he an African, he is an American; no longer a slave, he is a common part of the Republic, owning to its patriotic allegiance in return for the protection of equal laws. Insult to him is insult to an American citizen. Our rights are his rights; our equality is his equality, our privileges and immunities are his great freehold." It is against the scheme of a government such as ours, its publicly expressed policies and its best interests, to have ever denied to any class of citizens, by subterfuge or by force, the right to vote. According to the fundamental principals embodied in our Declaration of Independence and our constitution, at birth a child inherently is prima facie evidence of a citizen. No man can protect himself in a government such as ours where the citizen is sovereign, and the expressed will of the ballot should be supreme, without having the full right to cast his ballot and have the same fairly counted. What other means of protection he has? The men who go to Congress or to state Legislatures, to enact laws controlling them, can defy and do deny his opinion and will, unless he can make and unmake them. In the North arguments are set forth for the election of senators by direct vote of the people in order that senators may be more amenable to the will o. the people. This reaching out for the rights of the people by the North, the liberal sections of this country is strangely contrasted and thoroughly opposite to the system of intimidation and theft of the rights of a large portion of the citizens of America throughout the South. So we have in this country the rights of the people sought after and guaranteed on the one hand, and a system of denial of rights absolutely on the other. Sooner or later these two systems must clash and there can be but one outcome; the North, right in its demands for manhood and suffrage, must win. The North, Republican in its tendencies, and standing for the best interests of Republican institu DENVER. COLORADO. SATURDAY. OCTOBER 20. 1906. G. HON. W. T. VERNON. REGISTER OF U. S. TREASURY. tions, must conserve the liberties of the American people and preserve this nation against the outrageous, unchristian, unjust, discriminating denials of rights by the Democratic South. When the issue comes the lines will be clearly drawn and it will be expected that the Democrats of all sections will unite as against the attempted or proposed remedies of the Republicans of all sections. Our safety and our hope is with the Republican party. I ask the men of the South, who are these disenfranchised men? They are the sons and brothers of the heroes of the Civil War, who saved the South from its effort at Governmental suicide. They are the men who went to war with Spain and on Cuban heights proved themselves worthy sons of the black heroes who died at Wagner, Olustee, Millikin's Bend and Petersburg. Who are these men? They are the descendants of black progenitors who marched with Washington and with him suffered starvation at Valley Forge. They are the children's children of those who were with Perry at Lake Erie, who were with Jackson at New Orleans. These are the kinsmen of men of whom written history fails to record the fact that at Bunker Hill, York- HON. W. T. VERNON, REG town, Croton River and other battlefields they helped to make a nation which promised them at that time only slavery. They are the men who in the rice swamps, cotton patches, levees of all the Southland, have given their sweat and blood to make great the section which humiliates and fails to protect them. These are the men who are being disfranchised, slandered and abused by the Democratic party. They are our brothers for whom we vote and whom we must protect. As far back as in 1821 the question of the Negro's rights was under discussion, and in a convention assembled in New York, Mr. Clark a delegate arose and said: "My honorable colleague has told us, that as colored people are not required to contribute to the protection or defense of the state, they are not entitled to any equal participation in the privileges of its citizens. "In the war of the revolution these colored people helped to fight your battles of land and sea. Some of your states were glad to turn out corps of colored men to stand shoulder to shoulder with them. "In your late war they contributed largely toward some of your most splendid victories. On Lake Erie and Champlain, where your fleets triumphed over a foe superior in engines of death and numbers, these fleets ```markdown ``` were manned in large proportion by men of color. "They were not compelled to go; they were not drafted; they were volunteers to defend that very country." The inconsistency of the Democratic party is seen from the time of Jefferson, its founder, until now. Three Negroes, at that early date, were impressed into the British service by the British. In the contention for their liberties Thomas Jefferson, patron saint of the Democratic party, maintained their seizure to be impressment of free American citizens. In this case the Negro was an American citizen because the English were the aggressors and it was to America's advantage to have him out of the British service. Later on Chief Justice Tawney, dominated by the Democratic party, declared that the Negro had no rights which the white man was bound to respect. In this instance white Democratic American citizens were denying him his rights and it was to their advantage to do so. "Consistency, thou are a jewel" The Negro must contend for his enfranchisement and must contend for it through the Republican party. His enfranchisement is right and as an American citizen he is entitled to every right to which any other man is entitled. STER OF U. S. TREASURY. Race distinction can not repeal the moral law, and this law, according to our ideas of government, should give the Negro every right which every other man enjoys and protect him in the enjoyment of these rights. While the right of suffrage may not be one of these inalienable rights of man, like life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; right of exemption from discrimination in this country is one of the guaranteed constitutional rights of all our citizens. If the white man of this country has the right of suffrage conferred, and he has, and the Negro has the right of suffrage conferred and he has, that man or set of men who rob either of them of this right are in opposition to the constitution of the United States, no matter by what subterfuge it is done. On the stump the South tells the world that it is its purpose to disfranchise the Negro. When a test is made of the Negro's rights and is brought before the courts for adjudication, the South immediately denies disfranchisement because of color. I would say to all people that the system of disfranchisement and false subterfuge now in vogue, will make the permanency of liberty and free government uncertain. If Negroes are to be disfranchised when it is convenient then white men will finally be disfranchised when it is convenient. --- How far can this subterfuge be carried before our country is endangered and our cherished institutions totter and fall? The cry, "This is the white man's government," proves that it is not the fear of the Negro domination but a determined effort to deny the Negro that which is his due. This country is a country of men, not white men, but men panoplied with all the rights of an American citizen. All over the earth to-day men are aroused in the struggle for liberty. Revolution in Russia, the greatest heroism which the world has ever known exhibited by Japan in her struggles against her defeated foe, the uprising of the people in every quarter of the globe prove that liberty and human rights must come to the people if a government is to be sure and lasting. England sees this, and Mr. Saga, colonial secretary to Joseph Chamberlain says, "Just as we believe that the unity of the nations for the purpose of attempting to overthrow the established authority of the white man is a chimera of ill-formed minds, so do we believe that the conception of uniting the white man in a league against the natives as a class is bound to failure. "We are of the opinion that conditions had undergone a change and that the natives were not longer to be looked upon as a class for special and exclusive treatment, or to be governed by a policy of continued suspicion. The thought is that they are now to be received with confidence within the political family circle as true citizens of the empire and that the doors of the temple of peace should be thrown open that they might also enter freely with their white brethren to share in the coming prosperity. A free government must find its safety in happy and contented citizens who are protected in their rights and are free from unnecessary burdens, so that the blessings which they enjoy may be transmitted to posterity." Everywhere enlightened rulers realize that proscription of rights and denial of privileges are subversive of good government. The boldness with which the propagandists of the southern states reach their doctrine is enough to alarm every patriotic white man in the land. It is enough to drive the fair-minded white men into an alliance with the Republican party, or anything diametrically opposed to that for which the Democratic party stands. He should be here standing against the party which in certain sections believes in the bludgeon, the shotgun and the knife. Any white man of the South who desires to force himself to the front needs but to advocate the repression of the Negro and immediately he is endorsed with wild acclaim by his fellows. The campaign of Hoke Smith in Georgia was made upon an anti-Negro problem, and thus he won. Vardaman of Mississippi, standing out, not only against his education, is in all probability to be made senator from that state. Jeff Davis of Arkansas on a similar platform, is to be a United States senator. Vardaman has announced that his first act when he reaches the United States Senate will be to offer a bill for the repeal of the fifteenth amendment, which garranttees to every Negro in America the right to vote. To send a Democratic senator from Kansas to the Senate means to afford an ally to these men who publicly proclaim their purpose to humiliate every Negro in America. In their efforts in the South to cheat the Negro out of his education, they are now claiming that he shall only have in return his share of the taxes he pays for his schools. Those of us familiar with the customs of renters understand that the owner in estimating his rent always provides for the payment of his taxes in the same, so that the Negro who pays the rent or the lease throughout the Sauthland pays that out of which is taken the taxes on the dwelling in which he lives. He gets no credit for this. By a system of tabulation and juggling of figures the South undertakes to justify the reduction of the school term for the Negro by saying he receives that for the maintenance of his schools which he actually pays in. What a policy for political schemers! To claim that the educational qualifications shall be a test to vote and deny citizens the right to secure education. How long can such a policy stand? How long can a section tolerating such NO. 4. maintain its self-respect and the respect of the nations of the world? Kansas. Here in Kansas the issues are as well designed as anywhere. We have at the head af the two state ticket men well known in public life. One a Republican from birth and standing for Republican principles. A set of gentlemen candidates for the lower house imbued with Republican principles and standing for the advocacy of the same. On the other hand we have at the head of the Democratic state ticket an ex-soldier of the Confederate army, a known stalwart in the advocacy of Democratic principles and the things for which they stand. You may depend upon it that he and his associates who are seeking election to Congress as Democrats will stand for the measures advocated by their party as a party policy. What are we to do? Is there one who will not claim that our state is prosperous? Is there one who will claim that it is not a place of opportunity? Is there one who will not claim that the dominant idea of Kansas is freedom alike to all and equal opportunity for all? It may be possible that the Republican party of Kansas has not done all which we would have it do. It is enough to understand, however, that it has done all for the Negro which has been done in the state. We can understand and realize that we in Kansas, have more to hope for from a Republican administration than from a Democratic administration. Is it not better to place our friends in power and ask of them the things we desire than to place our enemies in power whom we can not reach and on whom we have no claim? This great state of Kansas tried the experiment of Populism and fusion, and that era of depression and repudiation brought upon us the contempt of the American public and lost us the respect of those who had known Kansas in the days of its stalwart Republicanism. Kansas has resolved to look no more to the darkness but to the light. Noble, indeed, was the Kansas pioneer. It was he who came West singing; "We crossed the prairies as of old The pilgrims crossed the sea. To make the West as they the Fort To make the West as they the East The homestead of the free. We go to rear a wall of men On freedom's southern line, And plant beside the cotton tree A rugged northern pine." It was such a state as this which gave us John Brown of Ossawatomie, whose soul goes marching on, that has given us a train of heroes from the days of Jim Lane until now. It was this Kansas, glorious state, which set on foot the movement which swept o'er our western prairies and made this land of the free, immortalized our state in song and story. It was this Kansas, great in material wealth, in farms and barns and bins, in mines, in school houses and in churches, with colleges, giving to the world men who shall go forth and help to make greater the state with churches where the sons of God are taught the principles of right and true Christianity. "Tis here intelligence and true worth are enchained by all who realize the true grandeur of the state. I don't believe that such a state or such a people will join hands with a party whose policy has been one of stagnation, injustice, disfranchisement and ruin. I know Kansas will place herself in the forefront of those states which stand for all that is great and noble, and when the election in November is over, Kansas will be found in the Republican column, giving courage to ner national leader, Theodore Roosevelt, the foremost man of the present age. I predict a national victory because of the principles at stake, because of the conscience of the American people. This reform movement is sweeping the earth. Theodore Roosevelt, its greatest exponent, stands to-day as the mightiest ruler of his time. He has done his work and done it well, and in order that there may be a continuance of that high policy which is a part of his nature and with which the American people are thoroughly in accord, we must elect to Congress and to the Legislature that set of men who stand for the rights of the people, the interest of all, the perpetuity of our institutions—examplars of the principles of the Republic party. This picture is reproduced from a photograph. It appears in the official catalogue of the Automatic Electric Company of Chicago (the makers of the "automatic" apparatus the new telephone company proposes to use here in Denver), and is labeled in their catalogue thus: We call your particular attention to the fact that on the nearest desk are TWO TELEPHONES one a Bell Telephone (old company) and one an "Automatic." Doesn't this prove clearly and conclusively that they REQUIRE THE BELL FOR SERVICE and use the "Automatic" to promote their stock jobbing schemes? Don't you suppose that if it were possible they themselves would get along without a "Bell" Telephone? That with two companies you are forced to have two telephones and pay a double rental.

OTHER IMPORTANT ACTION Invitation to Jamestown—Department of Mines Asked For—Law Wanted to Stamp Out Bogus Mining Schemes. Denver.—"By long odds the biggest and best day's work the American Mining Congress has ever accomplished," was the verdict rendered by every officer and delegate when the daily session closed Wednesday night at 10 o'clock. From 10 o'clock in the morning until 10 at night these sturdy exponents of all that is best in the industry which founded this state and opened the way for its present prosperity, worked unceasingly with but two recesses, and when the final gavel fell they had laid the foundation for reforms in the mining world which when carried out will exceed in their beneficial effects all previous efforts of the congress put together. In the morning the delegates took action which it is expected will lead to the establishing of a Department of Mines and Mining at Washington. In the afternoon they agreed upon a law which, if put into effect throughout the United States, will effectually stamp out the promoter of bogus mining schemes. In the evening they framed a law for the creation of mining drainage districts, which has long been one of the most crying needs of the mining industry. The law, which was drawn up by a committee, of which David W. Brunton of this city was chairman, provides in brief in its amended form that any number of persons, not less than ten, owning mining claims, in any mining district, whose assessed valuation is not more than one-third of the total valuation of the district, may at any time file with the clerk of the District Court of the county in which such claims are situated, a verified petition addressed to the judge of the District Court, praying for the organization of a mine drainage district. A board composed of mine owners, it is proposed, shall be appointed to have charge of the work and the board is to be given power to levy and collect a tax upon all mining claims within the district. This tax, however, is not to exceed in any one year 50 mills on every dollar of valuation as shown by the assessment rolls. Provision is made for bonds, liens, interest, publication, etc. A new section in the bill, to be section 18, was introduced to provide that all parties in interest in the district may have at all times free access to the avenues and laterals of the drainage systems, subject to rules and regulations adopted by the board of supervisors, which is to consist of not more than fifteen nor less than nine men. Another new section, number 24 provides for the collecting of equable tolls for the use of the right of way in the drainage district, the funds thus accruing to be used to reduce the tax rate. The following resolution, by Governor Pardee of California, was unanimously passed: "Believing that the co-operation of farmer, through the Department of Agriculture, has demonstrated the wisdom of this co-operation in giving direction to American industrial forces; and, "Believing that the co-operation of our government with the American miner, through a Department of Mining, will give an additional and conclusive proof that American industrial progress can be most permanently advanced through this method of co-operation between the government and the people; therefore, be it "Resolved, that the American Mining Congress., in convention assembled, most earnestly urge upon our federal Congress the importance of creating a Department of Mining, co-ordinate with the Department of Agriculture." President Richards was then empowered, through a motion by Delegate Fred King of Connecticut, to appoint a committee of five men to discuss ways and means for securing the contemplated department. After some intervening business it was announced that the committee would consist of John Dern, F. Wallace White, George E. Dorsey, E. A. Colburn and Thomas Ewing. Secretary Callbreath then read a telegram he had just received announcing that another city, Jamestown, Virginia, had entered the field hitherto occupied by Joplin, Missouri, and was seeking the convention for next year. William M. Porter of New York City called attention to the Mining Exposition Company, with offices in Chicago. After citing several instances of fraudulent schemes which had come under his observation, notably that of the notorious Clover Creek proposition, which had its headquarters in Philadelphia, and calling attention to the fact that the only way the promoters of the latter scheme were reached was through the government postal laws. Governor Pardee read a proposed bill to make false statements in prospectuses and reports a criminal offense punishable by imprisonment for not more than ten years and a fine of not more than $10,000. The bill was adopted. A. L. Herrick of Pennsylvania introduced a resolution, urging that the mining commissioner or some corresponding officials in each state be made to pass on the prospectuses issued by all mining companies. A. W. McIntyre of Washington called the attention of the delegates to the Exposition which is to be held in Seattle next year from June 1st to October 15th. Secretary Calibreth read his financial report at the opening of the meeting, together with the auditor's report attached to it. The disbursements for the preceding year were shown to be $3,772.16, and receipts, $3,919.95, leaving a balance on hand of $147.79.

Did you read Monday’s editorial on the Negro problem? It was a ease of Blue Monday with the edi- tor of that journal, so he trotted out his perennial subject, ‘The Ne- gro,”’ and rode his hobby once with spurs, but no bridle, for he certainly did not attempt to guide his steed, but let him run his ac- eustomed route and land straight at its usual destination—back to Africa with the Negro. Now, Mr. Republican, let us tell you once for all why the Negro does not accept your verdict, phil- osopher as you desire to exhibit yourself. Two reasons, personal and natural. Here is the personal : 1. First, the Negro did not come here of his own accord. 2. We have helped to create the wealth of this great nation, and the man who creates property is enti- tled to a share in it. 3. To all intent this present generation of Negroes are Ameri- cans to the manor born and not im- migrants or naturalized foreigners. 4. The Negro can and does as- similate American civilization, edu- eation and religion and are fitting themselves for a responsible share of duties as well as privileges in affairs of government. 5. "The Negro has his property, churches, homes, farms and sehools and graves of loved ones here, and do not propose to dispose of them to square with your philosophy. 6. We are industrious, self reliant, strong, willing, heroic, and determined to make our own way without your assistance, sym- pathy or crocodile tears. 7. There is no color in gray matter, nerve force, muscle, endur- ance, soul or honor and these things that have your race—whatever it is, for the white American to-day is the most hetregeneous of the human family—will also lift the Negro to the status of superiors. Now for the national: 1. This country is dedicated to liberty and by the declaration of Independence, it must stand or fall. Inalienable right must mean some- thing or nothing, we propose to see that it means what it says. 2. This nation is constantly loading itself with more of the same kind, Hawaii, Porto Rico, the Philippines and now foxy eyes on Cuba. This means more of the white man’s burden, because you can exploit them as you have and are doing the Negro. 3. This nation is presumably Christian. You send missionaries to the end of the world. The Ne- gro gives you a chance to practice a little of your so-ealled fatherhood of God and brotherhood of man at home. With these statements, Dear Re- publican, suppose you revise your Blue Monday philosophy in the light of sunshine, facts, history and reason and make them square with republican institutions and the ‘‘square deal’? that you use so pat. Put up your hobby, Hoke Smith and the Dixsons and let us strive in the strength of unselfish- ness to make America the great Cosmopolitan nation which she is destined to be. So SEE BS Ft Bk ee Last week’s publie press gave considerable space to the presenta- tion of an original drama ‘‘The Darling of the Regiment”’ and the eut of the author, Mrs. Ezabell Steward, which was presented at the Alliance Hall. The People’s Sunday Alliance ever since its or- ganization, has sought to awaken interest in the colored people of Denver and draw out its best talent in business, publie questions and municipal and state affairs. The alliance is composed of the most talented and progressive people of the city. Their discussions and topies are of the highest standard. ‘They have an organized savings de- partment, a literary committee to take note of everything said for or against the race, and seek in every way to bring every new question to the attention of the people. | ‘The drama is a new venture in the Alliance. It displays a new line of talent. In composition, authorship and acting, the Negro has ability as in everything else. As a playwright, author, inventor or acting he needs only to exercise his powers to discover his latent force. Besides netting the treasury a neat little sum to meet expenses the per- formance showed that the Negro ean and ought to furnish his own theatricals without resorting to the cheap variety and vaudeville shows of the whites and being jimerowed in the galleries. Thrice we heard the expression, ‘‘too bad we have not got a hall of our owt.’’ Yes but why not join the savings de- partment and help to build one? If the colored people in Denver would rally to the savings department of the Alliance as they do to the other meetings, they would not have te be paying $15.00 per month for the use of a hall for only two hours on¢ day in a week. A’ public hall is sadly needed in Denver, the Colo rado Statesman has said this many times before. The press, the pulpit and the Alliance has demonstrated it. We have urged it upon individ. uals and the publie, but no effort has been made yet. Real estate is rapidly advancing and we ought te get together on this matter and build an amusement hall in Denver. We pay our compliment to the playwright, Mrs. Stewart, to the performers, to the Alliance as a publie forum, and to the publie and patronesses who so largely attended the performance and contributed to its suecess. The colored people of St. Louis have organized and chartered a publie amusement com- pany to operate a theater, summer garden, skating ring and kindred amusements. Why not Denverites do the same? THE AFRO-AMERICAN COUNCIL. Four great conventions for de- liberating upon the condition of the Negro and devising means for his amelioration have been held this year. The first was the Young Peo- ple’s Christian and Educational Congress, which was held in Wash- ington, D. C., July 29-31. Many able papers were read, strong ad- dresses delivered and encouraging reports and statistics given. The second was the Niagara Movement, held at Harper’s Ferry, and the ad- dress to the country emanating ‘from that body was heard around the world. The third was the Negro Business League at Atlanta, Geor- gia, leaving an impression and in- tiuence which neither time or eter- nity will erase. The fourth and last was the great Afro-American Council, mother and leader of all, held in New York City October 9-11. Here again the brains and thinkers of the race assembled and deliberated. Two notable addresses ‘were made at this meeting; one by ‘Mr. Villard, (white), grandson of William Lloyd Garrison, and the other by Mr. Washington. “Such men as Hoke Smith, John ‘Temple Graves, Vardaman and ‘Tillman ought not to be able to ob- ‘tain any service from a_ colored man,”’ said Oswald G. Villard in an address before the Afro-Ameri- ean Council. Mr. Villard also de- clared in his opinion no Negro should think of contributing as much as one cent to the support of the anti-Negro newspapers of Georgia. He urged the Negro to organize, to band together for his defense and to fight for his rights: “Phe time is ripe for serving no; tiee on the country,’’ said he, “*that further efforts in any section of the land to degrade the Negro to servile position, to create that impossiblé thing, a republie with millions of persons taked but not represented, shall be fought, from now on. Leave the murdering in cold blood to the race that proudly calls itself the superior, the better civilized.” Mr. Washington rose to the height of his wise counsel and sage advice, showing himself the patriot and statesman that he is, instead of an agitator, ranter, demagogue or poli- tician, by uttering the following: “In the season of disturbance and excitement, if others yield to the temptation of losing control of their judgment and give way to passion and prejudice, let us, as a race, teach the world that we have learned the great lesson of calm- ness, of self-control; that we are de- termined to be governed by reason rather than by feeling. Our vieto- ries in the past have eome to us through our ability to be cal: and patient, meantime enduring a great wrong. Meanwhile T am most anx- ious and I know that in this I speak the sentiment of every eonservative member of our race, that our race everywhere bear the reputation of a law abiding and law respecting people. If others would break the law and trample it under foot let ‘us keep and respect it and teach our children to follow our example. In this connection I repeat what I have uttered on a recent occasion, every iota of influence that we pos- sess should be secured to get rid of the criminal and loafing element of our people and make deecnt, law- abiding citizens. Caution to Northern Negroes. “To the members of my race who reside in the Northern states let me utter the caution that in your en- thusiastic desire to be of service to your brethren in the South you do not make their path more thorny| and difficult by rash and intemper- ate utterances. Before giving advice to the Negro in the Sonth, the Ne- gro in the North should be very sure that what he advises is that which he himself would be willing to take into the heart of the South and put into practice. Be careful not to assist in lighting a fire which you have no ability to put out.’” These two extracts show the dif- | ferent temperament. Both are con- servative, manly and elean. They urge preparation, but not to strike, readiness but not preeipitation. A people who know how to possess their soul and weapons in patience have tremendous strength. ‘‘Fear God and keep your powder dry’? was the motto of the Pilgrim Fath- ers when menaced by the Indians in early days. The same motto would hold good for the Negro to- day when menaced by the mob. GRAND JUNCTION Mr. Franklin of Denver was the guest of Grand Junction last Thurs- day, Mr. W. F. Hall of Glenwood Springs, Colorado, was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. John Newman a few days last week. ws Miss Anna Newmen contemplates a visit to the Queen City soon. Miss Newman is very popular and vivacious and the Denver hearts had better look out! Mrs, Fannie Warfield, who has re- sided in our city for the last year, will leave next Thursday for Pueblo, where Dame Rumor has reported that she will be soon Williamized. ‘The Democrats’ first rally last Tues- day was a tirade of abuses and mis- representations. Only, when the Pres- ident's name was mentioned was there shown much enthusiasm. Messrs. John and Clark Hines, Wil- liam Brown, Charles Robinson and T.P. Langdon went hunting last week and bagged fifty-three rabbits. Mr. Robinson, from the chase, is now on the sick list. ‘The birthday party of Miss Bessie Price, one of our most popular and handsome young ladies, was the ban- ner social success of the week. ‘The young lady was the recipient of many valuable presents, Registration has taken on a fever heat. The county clerk's office Is a continual buzz of the fair sex, A poor lone man once in a while dares to edge himself thru and submissively ask the privilege of registering. The Young Ladies’ Carnation and Art Club met at the residence of Mrs. Scott and under the superb manage- ment of Mrs. J. Mopps delightfully en- tertained Mr. Franklin of the States- man and Mr. W. F. Hall of Colorado Springs. The Carnation Art Club will tender its present president, Mrs, Fannie War- field, and ex-president, Mrs. 'T. P. Lang- don, next Thursday evening, a fare- well reception. The former goes to her future husband and the latter goes to visit her husband’s relatives in quest of the health of her daughter, Lottie Langdon, The Negro is registering as he never has, and a rousing and enthusiastic vote will be polled on November 6th. We cannot afford to parley with our arch-enemy, the Democrats. Every Negro who has the right to yote and have that vote honestly and squarely counted should proudly exercise that privilege on November 6th. The Congress elected next Novem- ber will help to carry out those wise Just and equai laws thei are being agi- tated by our President and every man and woman who has the welfare of the race at heart should vote for Re- publican congressmen and representa- tives who will carry out those prin- ciples.

Bent, whose genial face appears in this issue of the Colorado Statesman, is a well-deserved honor given to a man of responsibility who has already been tried and found above par. Two years ago Mr. Bent was elected auditor of the state of Colorado on the Republican ticket. The duties of that office have been performed with that singular fidelity that has characterized all of his work. It was but a fitting expression of the confidence that the people of Colorado had in Mr. Bent personally when by a uninamous vote in the Republican State Conven- tion they asked him to accept the responsible place of state treasurer. This is a position that commands a strong, tried and trustworthy official, as not only the party but the entire state would suffer should any leak or deficiency occur in the public funds, but Mr. Bent’s experience and honor and watchful- ness is a guarantee that every cent of the state funds will be judiciously handled and correctly accounted. We take pleasure in giving colored Republican voters a brief history of Mr. Bent’s career. Born in Canada in 1862, he came at the age of twelve years with his parents to Girard, Kansas, where he attended public schools until 1883, He then spent three years in mercantile business in Kansas City. In 1886 he removed to Colorado and settled at Lamar, where he engaged in irrigation construction and loan business. During the past eighteen years in Colorado Mr. Bent has enlisted and handled as much as five millions of dollars which is invested in irrigation ditches and developments in the Arkan- sas yalley. Where one blade of grass was never known to grow now vast fields of agriculture and fruits are produeed through his faith and enterprise. ‘The man who has been instrumental through confidence and capital to turn barren soil into fruitful ranches and indian tepees and Mexican dugouts and adobes into happy homes and wealthy mansions ought to have the privilege and confidence of his fellow statesman and suffrage of yoters to handle and account for the public funds of this growing and prosperous commonwealth. Mr, Bent is an active lodge worker, a thirty-second degree Mason, Mystic Shriner, Woodman and Pythian. He is popular among all circles, business men know that he is eminently fitted for the place. His sterling integrity, superior business standing and wide acquaintance will bring him many vetes even outside of the party. . His nomination for state treasurer was unanimous and his election cer- tain, We ask our colored Republican readers to make his majority doubly certain by adding your vote for him, and thus help to swell the number of those who believe in using the very best material in places of public trust ‘and party favor. Mesa county a better and purer set of men nominated than the Republican party &as placed before the people, and let it not be said'that we have not done our duty. Vote the ticket of the party of pro- gress, the party that does things, the party that has made this the grandest country on earth and is still doing things to help the condition of the la- boring man and woman. To the Negroes of Mesa County: The eyes of Colorado are on you! Your brothers and sisters in all parts of the state have lined up, and let it not be said of you that the reputation of our grand county will fall behind. Let us take a straight shot. Vote the ticket from top to bottom. They are all good, and you will never have any ‘occasion to regret the exercising of the greatest privilege given man.

Nearly 700 left the city to-day for cotton fields cf the territories and different parts of this'state, where farmers are paying pickers $1 for 100 pounds. ‘The Negroes are able to earn $10 a day, an attract- ive wage drawing them from other employment to such an extent that building contractors face a serious problem. Negro schools have postponed opening, as most of the children are working in the,field. A special dispatch from Florida shows how they lynch white men in the South who outrage or ray- ish white women: “Alexandria, La., Oct. 3.—A lone juror, who for sixty hours held ont and finally caused a mistrial in the case of Thomas Brady, a white man who lured a young woman into the woods and assaulted her, gives as his reason for being lenient with the prisoner that Brady is a cig- arette fiend, and, therefore, was not responsible for his actions, He blames the government for al- lowing the sale of cigarettes, and says that for that reason the gov- ernment is responsible in a meas- ure for the assault. In a recent speech before a grand jury, Circuit Judge R. J. Lea of Little Rock, Ark., said, “The laws of this state are ample to punish all crimes that may be committed against the peace and dignity of the state,” * * The man who participates in lynching is just as much a murderer as the man who commits another crime. Let men understand that the law will punish the guilty and not the mod.

Harris prize of $500 for the best painting at the nine- teenth annual exhibition of Amer- ican paintings, which will open at the Art Institute. At the private view the art committee of the in- stitute carefully went over the large number of paintings hung, and the decision on Tanner’s “To Disciples at the Tomb” was unan- imous.

James Gray's Dog Partnership. James Gray, once a prominent sin ger of Boston, relates the following in cident of his youth: ‘When a lad of 15 he bought a yellow dog for 50 cents. He took the dos home and told his father about it. Now his father would never have a dog about the house, but, not wishing to disappoint the boy, he offered to give the boy a quarter, and so form a part nership. Gray readily assented, and thereby secured the dog's safety. After carefully locking the animal up James went to bed, very happy The first thing in the morning he went out to see the dog, and found him gone. He rushed to his father, and cried: “Pa, where is the dog?” “Well,” said the father, “I kicked my half out. I don't know what be came of your half.” .

The plea was self defense, and so clearly and completely was the killing shown to be justifiable by the witnesses for the prosecution that Mr. Stuart, without offering any testimony for the defense, immediately after the people rested, moved the court to instruct the jury to return a verdict of not guilty. The motion was granted and the verdict rendered without the jurors leaving their seats. This was Mr. Stuarts third case within the last three months, each resulting in a clean acquittal—one having been disposed at the preliminary examination. Local Notices.

It had never occurred to her that this was taking the name of the Lord in vain, and probably few of many who indulge in sugar-coated profanity realize that they are swearing. What is "Gee" though, but a euphemism for "Jesus?" "Dear me" is nothing but the Latin "Deo Meo" (My God), "For Goodness Sake" is only for "God's Sake," "Drat it" is "God rot it." "Judias Priest" is "Jesus Christ." "Golly," "Gosh," "Glory," etc., are only variations of "Damn it." In short, there is probably not an expression of this sort that cannot be tracked to an cath for its origin. Failed to Capture Whales. Excitement was caused recently among the shipping at Port Elizabeth, Cape Colony, by the appearance of two large whales, a bull and a cow. Their gambols were watched by a large number of spectators. Several fishing boats and tugs went after them, and one succeeded in getting a harpoon home in the cow. A whaler's crew then had an exciting time, the whale towing the boat about the offing until nearly three o'clock, when it managed to break away. More boats and tugs then joined in the chase, but failed to get within striking distance. Denver, Colo. Denver Colorado.

Denver.—Guggenheim hall was dedicated with impressive ceremonies Wednesday afternoon, in keeping with the general character of the noble building that marks an important milestone in the progress of the State School of Mines at Golden. As expressed by Dr. Frank Gunsaulus, president of the sister institution, Armour Institute, who made the dedicatory address, the event was of especial importance because it marked the beginning of individual muni-fence that began where the generosity of the state had ended and that made possible a wider and more useful field for what he said was the most important school of its kind in America, if not in the world. The building is the handsomest structure of the college. It is of simple and durable construction, as is in keeping with the general character of the school, an institution whose primary purpose is to fit young men for the struggle with nature itself. It was given to the school by Simon Guggenheim, the building having been erected at a cost of $70,000, and the furnishings, which were also included in the magnificent gift, cost another $10,000. It is to be used as a general administration building, as well as a special building for classes in geology and mineralogy. The offices of President Victor C. Alderson and of the institution will also be located in this building. The presence of practically every representative mining man in the corner of the world gathered in Denver for the sessions of the American Mining Congress made the dedication of the new building all the more notable. After the address of Dr. Gunsaulus George M. Post, '94, was introduced by President Alderson and made the presentation of the two portraits of Dr. Chauvenet and of Mr. Guggenheim, which were hung over the platform in the front of the assembly hall. The gifts were received with great aplause. President Alderson read a congratulatory letter from President Dr. Regis Chauvenet, after which he announced the donation of several prizes for senior thesis work. Siron Guggenheim, the donor of the new building, then presented the keys to Chairman Dr. John P. Kelley of the board of trustees. They were tied together with two streamers of blue and white satin ribbon. Mr. Guggenheim was greeted with great applause. His presentation address was simple but to the point and was received with a great deal of favor by those in the hall. He said: "Mr. President of the Faculty, Board of Trustees, Ladies and Gentlemen—Allow me to thank you and the people of Colorado for the great interest taken in our school of mines. It is an institution which we fully realize has brilliant prospects; one which has already done much to advance the mineral industry of our state. Justly do we feel proud that our state is furnishing more than its quota of precious metals, so essential to the needs not only of our own people, but to the entire world as well. "It has always been my conviction that our citizens should repay in part the obligation they owe to their state. Wealth has its duties no less than great intellectual or spiritual requirements. It is a responsibility, and each one is the steward of the possessions which he holds and which he should administer for the benefit of all. "I began my business career in Colorado eighteen years ago. I know of no greater pleasure than in sharing my success with the institution which means so much to our commonwealth. We have a common duty toward those who have been less fortunate. I assure you all that one of the greatest joys of my life is the fact that I am permitted to help the young men of Colorado to careers which means so much to them. "I wish to thank the president, faculty and trustees for their tireless efforts in making the State School of Mines one of the most useful in America. May the school of mines meet with every possible success." Dr. Kelley accepted the keys, saying: "The whole matter is essentially perfect from our point of view, perfect in the giving, perfect in the receiving, perfect in its future effect upon the school. There is no more fitting way for wealthy and able men to have their good deeds go on for centuries after them than that chosen by the donor of this building. The name over the entrance to Guggenheim hall will last for centuries after we have passed into dust and succeeding generations will bless Simon Guggenheim." Rabbi W. S. Friedman of Denver was then introduced and made an eloquent address on "The Making of Men First." declaring that all scientific attainments was second to the formation of character. The dedication was the occasion of one of the most notable gatherings of college presidents, professors and public school men held in the state for many years. At night the students and alumni gave a dance in the assembly room of the new hall. Head-On Collision. Denver.—A La Junta dispatch Wednesday night says: A head-on collision occurred about two o'clock this afternoon between Santa Fe passenger trains Nos. 10 and 601, near Manzanola, a small place about twenty miles west of here. Both trains were running at a high rate of speed and were not seen by the engineers until it was too late to avoid a collision. Engineer Hanson on train No. 10 reversed his engine and escaped without injury by jumping. Engineer W. T. McMurray of Denver, of train 601, was unable to leave his engine and was buried beneath the debris, being removed alive, but badly injured. Peter Murdock, baggageman of No. 10, was instantly killed and about twenty passengers were injured. The Joslin DRY GOODS CO. Here's Special Prices On.

VERSMITH & HILL 1925 16th Street, Opposite Joslin' TERRITORY LETTER Conditions and Chances for the Negro in the Indian Territory. Newby, I. T., Oct. 2, 1906. MR. EDITOR: Dear Sir:—As this is my first time to teach in the Indian Territory and I found so many new and interesting things to me. I thought perhaps some of your readers would like to know something about the country where so many of the American Negroes have chosen to take up their abode. The Indian Territory is divided into four nations, Creek, Cherokee, Chickasaw and Choctaw. I am teaching school in the Creek nation. In almost every part of the country where a few Negro families can be found, there a small school will be also. And almost invariably the Negroes and "whites" have separate schools. Unlike most of the other states of this Union when the Indian Territory becomes a full fledged state she will have a good number of Negro schools. Of course all of the schools are not the best; some of the building are in need of repair, indeed some of the school A. E. H. houses are log cabins. The United States government furnishes the money for the most of the schools, yet some of them are kept up by monthly donations from the parents. The wages received by the teachers employed by the Department of Interior usually amount to fifty dollars per month. I think this is a very good place for an educated Negro to do good for his race. We in Colorado do not realize how the children in the territory are handicapped. We have the advantages of the public library and the college and modern high school. While the few colleges here are solely for the whites the Negroes have two or three boarding school in the territory organized by Negroes which keep open for about six months of the year. Cotton is one of the principal products in this section and every year children who should be receiving an education to cope with the great problems of life are being kept from school to pick cotton. And the cotton picking keeps them busy nearly all winter. I make this plea to the young people of Colorado, get an education while the way is open; because if they come to this country they will appreciate the advantages they have had in their youth and sympathize with those in their noble struggle to reach a higher level in the educational and social world. I have thirty-five Negro pupils and five natives. The children are obedient and willing to learn. Many people who have never been to the Territory imagine that the people are very wild and do not regard the law, but this is a false impression. The natives of the territory seem very quiet and peaceable. Of course there are a few exceptions but not enough to call this an unlawful country and the home of outlaws. All the people of the Indian Territory need is education, good schools, good books, libraries and colleges. And time and perserverance will surely bring all of these. Sincerely Yours, FANNIE BUSH.

F VALLERY, General Agent, C. B. & Q. Ry., 1030 Seventeenth St., Denve. Denver, Colo. Denver, Colo STATE POLITICS FROM A REPUBLICAN POINT OF VIEW Denver, Oct. 15.—The political campaign has now settled down upon the lines which will be followed to the end. The tickets are all filed, the speakers are out in the field, the issues are defined. The Lindsey state ticket contains now the name of Lindsey only—all the rest have withdrawn. Its only use is as a refuge for some Democrats who resent the bossism and dictation of Patterson. In Denver, the Lindsev local ticket contains the names of the Patterson nominees, and is intended merely as a decoy to try to attract some few Republican votes for the legislators who will vote for Patterson to return to the United States Senate. The tone of the Republican campaign remains the same as it was from the beginning—the same as it was sounded by Dr. Buchtel in his first speech. It is aggressive, optimistic, hopeful, confident, looking to the present and the future, and not to the past. The Republicans present to the people a record of achievement of the most positive character. They point to the restoration of law and order in the state, to two years of profound peace and unprecedented prosperity, to an honest and efficient and economical administration of state affairs. They show that the state debt has been decreased, that the state revenues have been vastly increased, that the running expenses of the state government, notwithstanding the natural increase due to the growth of the state in population and wealth, and the creation of new departments by the Legislature, have been reduced. They show that all that was promised by them two years ago in their platform has been performed, and they promise additional reforms, for which the best pledge is their past performance. Another pledge the Republicans give for the future performance of what they now promise is the character of their nominees. Their candidate for governor is known all over the state as a man of affairs, an upbuilder, an administrator, a man of the highest and noblest personal character. Always a Republican, he has never been concerned in any factional fights within the party, has never held or sought office, is bound by no promises or pledges, expressed or implied, to any man or set of men. It was a case of the office seeking the man, not the man seeking the office. The nominee for state treasurer, Mr. Alfred E. Bent, has showed during his term as auditor a devotion to the public service, a business ability, an initiative in reforming abuses that had sprung up in his office during past Democratic administrations, that well entitle him to a promotion. The nominee for secretary of state, Mr. Timothy O'Connor, has had a large share in the active administration of the office for the past four years as deputy, and his zeal and fidelity in that position have showed that he is fully capable of a faithful and efficient discharge of the duties of the head of the office. Mr. Statler, the nominee for auditor, has been twice honored by the people of his own county in choosing him as county treasurer, and the same faithfulness to duty which distinguished him at home will mark his course in this responsible state office. As speaker of the last assembly, Mr. William H. Dickson, the nominee for attorney-general, showed a fairness and justice which drew forth commendation even from his political enemies. His legal ability is unquestioned. If "one good term deserves another," certainly Miss Craig, the popular and efficient superintendent of public instruction, should have another term. She will receive the support, not only of her own party, but of nearly all the educators of the state. The position of lieutenant-governor is sometimes of minor importance, but circumstances may easily arise—as they did in the past two years—which demand the highest qualities in the occupant of this office. Mr. E. R. Harper is fully qualified for any duties he may be called upon to discharge. He will preside over the Senate with dignity and impartiality, and when called upon for executive action will prove a worthy substitute for the head of the ticket. For justices of the Supreme Court, the Republican nominees are so far above the Democratic that "comparisons are odorous." For regents of the University, the Republicans have named men who will perform their duties wisely and well. Taken altogether, it is one of the best state tickets ever nominated by any party in any state. On the Democratic side, all is gloom and pessimism. The "keynote" of the campaign was sounded at the first mass-meeting in Denver. The speakers vied with each other to show that everything is going wrong. According to these molancholy orators, the constitution of the state is rent asunder, the Supreme Court is a total wreck, the liberties of the people are subverted, they are downtrodden and oppressed, and the only way they can come to their own again is to vote the Patterson nominees into office. Evidently the Democratic idea of an effective campaign is to rehearse the troubles of the past in order to bring more sorrows for the future—to paint the blackest possible picture of the present of Colorado, and try to lead the world to believe that this is no place to invest their money or take up their residence. Mr. Adams has mustered up courage to issue a general defiance to all comers. He says that if he is elected this time, by a majority of only one vote, all the powers cannot keep him from retaining his seat to the end of his term. Who is to be the judge of whether he is elected or not? Is he himself to be the arbiter? He says he was elected two years ago, and that he did not call upon the mob to storm the state house and keep him there, because the Republicans followed the forms of law in casting him out. That is his excuse for not following the advice of Patterson, and calling upon the "savages" to storm the THE NOMINEES. Another pledge the Republicans give performance of what they now promise of their nominees. Their candidate for go all over the state as a man of affairs, administrator, a man of the highest and character. Always a Republican, he hascerned in any factional fights within theheld or sought office, is bound by no pronounced or implied, to any man or seta case of the office seeking the man, notthe office. The nominee for state treasurer E. Bent, has showed during his term as as to the public service, a business ability,reforming abuses that had sprung up in past Democratic administrations, that we a promotion. The nominee for secretary Timothy O'Connor, has had a large sha administration of the office for the pas deputy, and his zeal and fidelity in theshowed that he is ruly capable of a faith discharge of the duties of the head ofStatler, the nominee for auditor, has bee by the people of his own county in cie county treasurer, and the same faithfulness distinguished him at home will mark his responsible state office. As speaker of the Mr. William H. Dickson, the nominee for showed a fairness and justice which drewtion even from his political enemies. His unquestioned. If "one good term deserve tainly Miss' Craig, the popular and efficient of public instruction, should have another receive the support, not only of her own nearly all the educators of the state. The tenant-governor is sometimes of minor imum circumstances may easily arise—as they did years—which demand the highest qualifiant of this office. Mr. E. R. Harper is f any duties he may be called upon to dispide over the Senate with dignity and when called upon for executive action will substitute for the head of the ticket. For Supreme Court, the Republican nominees, the Democratic that "comparisons are regents of the University, the Republic men who will perform their duties wisely altogether, it is one of the best state tinated by any party in any state. DEMOCRATIC GLOOM. On the Democratic side, all is gloom. The "keynote" of the campaign was souls mass-meeting in Denver. The speakers other to show that everything is going wi to these molanchly orators, the constitu is rent asunder, the Supreme Court is a liberties of the people are subverted, they and oppressed, and the only way they cown again is to vote the Patterson nom. Evidently the Democratic idea of an effect to rehearse the troubles of the past in orc sorrows for the future—to paint the blac ture of the present of Colorado, and try to believe that this is no place to invest take up their residence. MR. ADAMS' THREAT. Mr. Adams has mustered up courage to defiance to all comers. He says that if it time, by a majority of only one vote, all not keep him from retaining his seat to term. Who is to be the judge of whether not? Is he himself to be the biter? elected two years ago, and that he did not mob to storm the state house and keep him the Republicans followed the forms of law out. That is his excuse for not followin Patterson, and calling upon the "savage AMERICAN AEROPLANE. British Expert Thinks It Will Be Adopted by France. London.—Hon. C. S. Rolls, who left on his visit to America, made before his departure a long experiment with the Wright aeroplane at Euston station. According to Mr. Rolls' statement, "you can steer it as you like. It is an aeroplane, not a balloon. From this aeroplane you can drop a bomb into any fort you like." He added: "Of course, on the continent they are more interested in this than we are, but there is no doubt that the Wright aeroplane will play a very great part in future warfare." After talking about probable warfare, Mr. Rolls remarked: "So far as ballooning is concerned, we have still to get a machine that you can steer where you like. This means a rather doubtful quantity at present. Different currents of air are like tides in a river, and you have to get into the strata or the tide which will give you the direction you want. --- Capitol. He implies that this year, if he thinks he is elected, he will change his tactics, and resort to revolutionary means to get the seat. He will do as the unsuccessful candidates for office do in some of the Spanish-American republics. If Mr. Adams is right now, he was wrong two years ago. Nearly fifty of his faithful followers had been sent to jail for stuffing ballot-boxes in the effort to get him seated. He was seated. He held the office for sixty-seven days. He was in full possession of the pardoning power. He alleged in his answer in the legislative contest that no more votes were returned for him than were honestly cast, and no less votes for his competitor than were actually given to him. If this were so—if he believed that he was entitled to all the votes returned for him on the face of the returns, then these men were wrongfully in jail. Why did he not pardon them out? There can be only one answer—he knew that he was not honestly elected—that the governorship had been stolen for him by these men and others; and he did not dare to fly in the face of public opinion and pardon the occupants of "stuffers" row in the county jail. It was a good illustration of his courage and consistency. As Patterson said of him ten years ago, "he is weak and vacillating," "he avoids the weariness and wounds of actual conflict." On the issue of the Supreme Court, which Patterson is trying to make the main issue of the campaign, the Republicans yield not an inch—in fact, they carry the war into the enemy's camp. They show that this warfare on his part is a personal matter—that he is making war on the court simply and solely because it has not been subservient to him. Justice Goddard was refused a renomination by the Democratic party at his dictation because he rendered a decision which was against the Patterson interests; Justice Gunter was turned down this fall because he has delivered the opinion which held Patterson guilty of contempt. Justice Gabbert was "spewed out" because he had refused to be dictated to by Patterson in the Tool case and the Moyer case. It is clear that what he wants is a Supreme Court that will take its decisions ready-made from the office in Welton street. He is the supreme boss now of the Democratic party, and he wants to be the supreme boss also of the executive, legislative and judiciary departments of the state government. If his nominees for the supreme bench should by some misfortune be elected, they would be his subservient tools, and so far as they were concerned, he and he alone would be the court. Such an exhibition of bossism as has been made by Patterson this fall it would be hard to parallel in the annals of any other state in the Union. Because the regular Democratic organization in Denver was against him, and because he dared not go into the regular primaries and fight them there and abide by the issue, he held primaries of his own, called by his own flat, without any pretense of party regularity. When the state convention met, he insisted that the delegates so chosen should be seated, and the regular delegation thrown out, not only from the convention, but from the party. He set himself up to be the sole judge of what constituted a Democrat. The state convention, after two days of strenuous wrangling, accepted his dictation and "spewed out" of the party the men who had been its strongest leaders for years—and in years when Patterson did not profess to be a Democrat at all, but was leading a Populist opposition. He dictated, if he did not actually act, the platform adopted by the convention. He insisted on putting in a plank which committed the nominee for governor, if elected, to serve out his full term unless he should die; and when Mr. Adams arose to make a feeble protest, virtually told him to go back and sit down—which he meekly did, thus ending his chances, if he had any, of being elected to the Senate in case the Democrats should succeed in electing a majority of the incoming Legislature. When Lindsey adopted the rest of the Democratic state ticket as his own, and most of the nominees had promised him to stay on it and support him, Patterson called them together, read the riot act to them, and compelled them to get off—all except those on the local ticket in Denver, where the little help Lindsey could give would aid Patterson in his effort to get back into the Senate. Now he is running the whole campaign, dictating the policy, supervising the speeches, and running the "literary bureau." Never was a case of such absolute domination by one man. He is to the "reorganized Democracy" of Colorado what Hearst and Murphy and the Sullivans combined are to the "reorganized Democracy" in New York. The real issue has been stated in the big posters with which Mayor Speer has plastered the billboards of Denver—"Shall Patterson, or the People, rule city and state?" This week Dr. Buchtel is touring part of the state on a special train, speaking in as many places as possible. Everywhere he goes he is carrying the gospel of progress and prosperity, of optimism and the forward outlook. Everywhere Mr. Adams goes he is carrying the whine over the "stolen governorship," the demand that conditions of unrest and anarchy shall be brought back, the lament that everybody ought to be feeling downtrodden and oppressed and out of sorts generally. There can be no doubt where the people stand—they don't want to go backward, they want to go forward; they don't want unrest and trouble—they want a continuation of the present peace and prosperity. They will show it by their votes on the 6th of November. "In future warfare there is no doubt that the balloon will play a greater part, but at the same time it wants to be steerable. Up to now we have not arrived at that stage. "This particular aeroplane is the invention of two American brothers named Wright. I personally made a number of experiments and consequently think it is sure to be adopted by the French government, which is testing it now. "When I arrive in America I shall make some more experiments with it, because it seems to me that while we can control our balloons in the lower strata, it is simply a matter of study and, of course, experiment, for us to gain sufficient knowledge to guide our passage through the air and thus guide our course. "Still," he continued, "ballooning is in the air." Brush is preparing a big celebration on the occasion of the formal opening of its new sugar factory, October 27th. Special excursions will be run and everybody is invited. WHY NOT PARDON THEM? Adams is right now, he was wrong two years fifty of his faithful followers had been sent, stuffing ballot-boxes in the effort to get him was seated. He held the office for sixty-seven as in full possession of the pardoning power. In his answer in the legislative contest that no were returned for him than were honestly less votes for his competitor than were actual him.

Hill, is contained in the annual report of the Northern Pacific railway, just issued. The new line will give the Hill roads a new and greatly improved line into Portland. In the building of this road, which will be 423 miles long, the Northern Pacific is jointly interested with the Great Northern. The road will run from Portland to Spokane and Texas Ferry, Washington, connecting at Spokane with the Northern Pacific and Great Northern, and at Texas Ferry with the joint line owned by the Northern Pacific and Union Pacific. Valuable terminal property has been purchased in Portland and Vancouver. It is expected the line from Portland to Pasco and Texas Ferry will be completed by the autumn of 1907 and the line from Pasco to Spokane early in 1908. ---
