MONEY SAVED BY PATRONIZING MERCHANTS WHO ADVERTISE IN THIS PAPER. THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY NEW NAME On Money. The Register of the United States Treasury and His Signature. VOL. XIII. NEW On Money. The Register of and His Washington, Nov. 23.—Pretty soon you may look at the new $20 bills in your pocket and see if the name "W. T. Vernon" is not written just above the words "Register of the Treasury." If you can get no new twenties, wait a few months and look at your ones and twos and fives, and see the autograph of the new Register, the first full blooded Negro to hold the position, and by all odds the most representative type of his race that has yet filled this responsible place. The wonderful presses at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing which are grinding out money for us night and day in a vain attempt to keep pace with the abounding prosperity of the country, are stamping the signature of the new Register upon the $20 bills at present, and as soon as the order is filled will begin placing his bold businesslike "fist" upon money of smaller denomination. It will therefore not be long before every Tresury note in general circulation will bear the name of "Vernon" upon its face, and it will be no exaggeration to say his will be among the most highly prized autographs in the world. Collectors of the signatures of famous men who will pay high prices for the single specimens of those of George Washington, Napoleon Bonapart and Oliver Cromwell feel their ambition realized when they connect with one of each, but for the autograph of Vernon they will have a never ending hunger. They will go on year after year, through health and sickness, through prosperity and poverty, with the single purpose in view of gathering together just as many of the Register's signatures as they can acquire and death alone will end their quest. Such is one of the marvels that the president of the United Stater can perform by appointment, such is the wonder that President Roosevelt wrought when he changed the signature of W. T. Vernon, school teacher at Quindaro, Kans., worth nothing, to W. T. Vernon, Register of the Treasury of the United States, worth the ransom of all the kings in history. Its first public appearance is in this issue of the Tribune. Vernon is a quiet unassuming Negro, who bears in complexion and feature not a trace of Caucasian blood. His autograph is indicative of the character of the man who writes it; straightforward ```markdown ``` State Historical and N. Society, Denver, Colo SAVED BY PATROC COLORA NAME of the United States Treasury Signature. business is in every bold stroke and at the final scratch of ink. It will make in size nearly two of the signatures of Judson W. Lyons, the mulatto who stepped out of the Register's office last June, and nearly half a dozen of the dainty, feminine, almost microscopic autographs of Blanche K. Bruce, the noted quadroon Senator from Mississippi, who held the place before Lyon's time. Lyons and Bruce showed their white blood more than their black. Both were men of commanding presence, and gained their prominence in politics before the lightning of Presidential appointment struck them. But Vernon had the platform structure, and gift of oratory, the following of influential political friends to bring him to the notice of President Roosevelt. He had a power at his back, however, that was stronger in this instance than an army of political shouters. He had a host of friends who knew how he had built up a little country school for Negro children out on the Kansas prairie from nothing in a useful institution numbering its hundreds of pupils. What Booker T. Washington had done at Tuskegee, William T. Vernon had done at Quindaro. When the President was searching for a man to fill Mr. Lyon's shoes, after the latter had rounded out years of service. Other prominent educators, white as well as colored, told the President that he would make no mistake if he made Mr. Vernon Register of the Treasury. His appointment was soon decided upon, and he took charge of the office last June. Since then he has been signing and issuing all bonds of the United States, of the District of Columbia, the Spanish indemnity, the three series of Phillipine Islands public improvement bonds, and the city of Manila bonds, and hereafter his signature must appear on all new currency, both of rare and popular denominations. Vernon was born thirty-five years ago in a log cabin on a plantation near Lebanon, Mo., of parents who had been slaves. He went to work in a field dragging nay at eight years. When fifteen years old he began his education at a state school for Negroes in Missouri; finishing his course of study when nineteen. He taught school in Missouri for six years, and then took charge of Western University, a school for Negroes at Quindaro, Kan. The school then had only six pupils, and Vernon was the only teacher. The Register points with pride to the fact that upon his retirement as head of the college there were fourteen teachers employed and two hundred students in attendance. The college property consisted of one hundred and thirty acres of land, with buildings valued at $75,000, and further improvements had just been ordered under an appropriation of $100,000 from the State Legislature. Mr. Vernon is affiliated with leading Negro organizations, and has had the degrees of Master of Arts and Doctor of Laws conferred upon him.—New York Tribune. SCORE TILLMAN Senator Tillman's speech at Orchestra hall last week furnished material for two sermons in Chicago pulpits yesterday, in both of which the South Carolina orator was scored severely, Bishop Samuel Fallows of St Paul's Reformed Episcopal church devoted this morning sermon to "Some Things Senator Tillman has Forgotten." Rev. A. Arnold Ross at the Woodland Park Universalist church referred to the senator as a "pestiferous touble maker." Bishop Fallows said: "Mr. Tillman forgot to act as a gentleman when he made a personal attack on Mayor Dunne because the latter refused to preside at the meeting. Mr. Tillman has forgotten that it required 240,000 blacks in blue, commanded by white men, to help save the union and make it possible for him to tell his audience that on Monday next when a roll will be called my name will be on that roll as it has been for twelve years. "Let Mr. Tillman not forget that in the settlement of the race question he can no more send the fourteenth and fifteenth constitutional amendments to hades than he can upturn the capitol at Washington with a one-tined pitch fork." Rev. Mr. Ross, referring to the senator as a "pestiferous trouble maker," said: "There are two classes of trouble makers in every community to whose presence is due much of the strife from which it suffers. The first class is made up of coarsely constituted individuals who seem to find pleasure in riding roughshod over the sentiments of their fellows. The other class is composed of those supersensitive souls who are always ready to take offense at the least provocation. To the former of these we owe the presence of that rabid Negro balter, Senator Tillman, while to the latter we are indebted for the disgraceful exhibition of racial supersensitiveness which has marked the attitude of the colored people of our city. "The invitation of this South Carolina Negrophobe to lecture here was a gratitious insult to colored citizens. But two evils do not make one good and the agitation among the Negro leaders does them no credit. The Negro race like every other race, has sins enough to its credit without adding to the already heavy score such silly outbreaks as that of the last week." GEO. WALKER BUYS HOME The editor of The Informer was called into the Lyceum theater Wednesday to execute some legal papers for George W. Walker, of Williams and Walker company, Mr. Walker explained that he was building a home for his parents, Mrs. Alice Meyers, his mother, and Mrs. Sarah Hayden, his grandmother. Both Mr. Walker and his amiable wife, Ada Overton Walker, signed the papers involving a contract to build a residence, and the home will cost when completed about $5,000. Mr. Walker's parents live in Lawrence, Kansas, of which he is a native, and either they go there once a year to visit or his parents come to New York to visit Mr. and Mrs. Walker. Messrs Williams and Walker are the stars of their company, and Mrs. Walker lady. "Abyssinia" is gorgeously staged and the artistic work of the company is of the highest merit, doing much to elevate the character of former Negro performances.—Detroit Informer, Let us also contrast the President's splendid sentiments regarding the Japanese with his Bunsbyisms regarding the Negro. In his handling of this race question, with here a kindley phase for the Negro and there an extenuating concession to white prejudices against him, all so suggestive of a keen appreciation of the value of the white vote at the South and of the Negro vote at the North, Mr. Roosevelt reminds one of the complacency of the dying man who said he has no fears of death because throughout his life he had kept on "pretty good terms with God and on pretty good terms with the Devil, too." For all that he says in behalf of the Negro, Mr. Roosevelt is apologetic to the Negro's white persecutors; and in the end the Negro is advised to be good, in a tone and spirit which implies that if he has any rights that white men are bound to respect he must prove his merit which implies that if he has any rights that white men are bound to respect he must prove his merit gradually mustn't meanwhile be insolent to his betters.—The Public.

MUCH GOOD WORK DONE Progress Made Under American Administration Is Pointed to with Pride—Last Year the Most Prosperous the Island Has Ever Known—Congress Urged to Confer Full American Citizenship Upon the Porto Ricans—Would Have All Insular Governments Placed in One Bureau. Washington.—President Roosevelt's message, describing conditions in Porto Rico, and making recommendations for legislation he believes necessary, was read to the congress. It is as follows: To the Senate and House of Representatives: On November 21 I visited the island of Porto Rico, landing at Ponce, crossing by the old Spanish road by Cayey to San Juan, and returning next morning over the new American road from Arecibo to Ponce; the scenery was wonderfully beautiful, especially among the mountains of the interior, which constitute a veritable tropic Switzerland. I could not embark at San Juan because the harbor has not been dredged out and can not receive an American battleship. I do not think this fact creditable to us as a nation, and I earnestly hope that immediate provision will be made for dredging San Juan harbor. I doubt whether our people as a whole realize the beauty and fertility of Porto Rico, and the progress that has been made under its admirable government. We have just cause for pride in the character of our representatives who have administered the tropic islands which came under our flag as a result of the war with Spain; and of no one of them is this more true than of Porto Rico. It would be impossible to wish a more faithful, a more efficient and a more disinterested public service than that now being rendered in the island of Porto Rico by those in control of the insular government. I stopped at a dozen towns all told, and one of the nctable features in every town was the gathering of the school children. The work that has been done in Porto Rico for education has been noteworthy. The main emphasis, as is eminently wise and proper, has been put upon primary education; but in addition to this there is a normal school, and agricultural school, three industrial and three high schools. Every effort is being made to secure not only the benefits of elementary education to all the Porto Ricans of the next generation, but also as far as means will permit to train them so that the industrial, agricultural and commercial opportunities of the island can be utilized to the best possible advantage. It was evident at a glance that the teachers, both Americans and native Porto Ricans, were devoted to their work, took the greatest pride in it, and were endeavoring to train their pupils, not only in mind, but in what counts for far more than mind in citizenship, that is, in character. I was very much struck by the excellent character both of the insular police and of the Porto Rican regiment. They are both of the bodies that reflect credit upon the American administration of the island. The insular police are under the local Porto Rican government. The Porto Rican regiment of troops must be appropriated for by the congress. I earnestly hope that this body will be kept permanent. There should certainly be troops in the island, and it is wise that these troops should be themselves native Porto Ricans. It would be from every standpoint a mistake not to perpetuate this regiment. In traversing the island even the most cursory survey leaves the beholder struck with the evident rapid growth in the culture both of the sugar cane and tobacco. The fruit industry is also growing. Last year was the most prosperous year that the island has ever kno w before or since the American occupation. The total of exports and imports of the island was $45,000,000, as against $18,000,000 in 1901. This is the largest in the island's history. Prior to the American occupation the greatest trade for Spanish Custom in Decay. Formerly the dowry of every peasant girl in Spain included a set of linen sheets. On account of the increased cost of linen, this, branch of trade has dwindled down to an insignificant figure. Behind on Rent. "They say poor Shifter is ten years ahead of his time." "Well, it's not true. I'm his landlord, and I know he's just six months behind."—Tit-Bits. any one year was that of 1896, when it reached nearly $23,000,000. Last year, therefore, there was double the trade that there was in the most prosperous year under the Spanish regime. There were 210,273 tons of sugar exported last year, of the value of $14,186,319; $3,555,163 of tobacco, and 28,290,322 pounds of coffee of the value of $3,481,102. Unfortunately, what used to be Porto Rico's prime crop—coffee—has not shared this prosperity. It has never recovered from the disaster of the hurricane, and, moreover, the benefit of throwing open our market to it has not compensated for the loss inflicted by the closing of the markets to it abroad. I call your attention to the accompanying memorial on this subject of the board of trade of San Juan, and I earnestly hope that some measure will be taken for the benefit of the excellent and high grade Porto Rico coffee. There is a matter to which I wish to call your especial attention, and that is the desirability of conferring full American citizenship upon the people of Porto Rico. I most earnestly hope that this will be done. I can not see how any harm can possibly result from it, and it seems to me a matter of right and justice to the people of Porto Rico. They are loyal, they are glad to be under our flag, they are making rapid progress along the path of orderly liberty. Surely we should show our appreciation of them, our pride in what they have done, and our pleasure in extending recognition for what has thus been done, by granting them full American citizenship. Under the wise administration of the present governor and council, marked progress has been made in the difficult matter of granting to the people of the island the largest measure of self-government that can with safety be given at the present time. It would have been a very serious mistake to have gone any faster than we have already gone in this direction. The Porto Ricans have complete and absolute autonomy in all their municipal governments, the only power over them possessed by the insular government being that of removing corrupt or incompetent municipal officials. This power has never been exercised save on the clearest proof of corruption or of incompetence—such as to jeopardize the interests of the people of the island; and under such circumstances it has been fearlessly used to the immense benefit of the people. It is not a power with which it would be safe, for the sake of the island itself, to dispense at present. The lower house is absolutely elective, while the upper house is appointive. This scheme is working well; no injustice of any kind results from it, and great benefit to the island, and it should certainly not be changed at this time. The machinery of the elections is administered entirely by the Porto Rican people themselves, the governor and council keeping only such supervision as is necessary in order to insure an orderly election. Any protest as to electoral frauds is settled at the courts. Here again it would not be safe to make any change in the present system. The elections this year were absolutely orderly, unaccompanied by any disturbance; and no protest has been made against the management of the elections, although three contests are threatened where the majorities were very small and error was claimed; the conests, of course, to be settled in the courts. In short, the governor and council are cooperating with all of the most enlightened and most patriotic of the people of Porto Rico in educating the citizens of the island in the principles of orderly liberty. They are providing a government based upon each citizen's self-respect, and the mutual respect of all citizens; that is, based upon a rigid observance of the principles of justice and honesty. It has not been easy to instill into the minds of people unacustomed to the exercise of freedom the two basic principles of our American system; the principle that the majority must rule, and the principle that the minority has rights which must not be disregarded or trampled upon. Yet real progress has been made in having these principles accepted as elementary, as the foundations of successful self-government. I transmit herewith the report of the governor of Porto Rico, sent to the president through the secretary of state. All the insular governments should be placed in one bureau, either in the department of war or the department of state. It is a mistake not so to arrange our handling of these islands at Washington as to be able to take advantage of the experience gained in one, when dealing with the problems that from time to time arise in another. In conclusion let me express my admiration for the work done by the congress when it enacted the law under which the island is now being administered. After seeing the island personally, and after five years' experience in connection with its administration, it is but fair to those who devised this law to say that it would be well-nigh impossible to have devised any other which in the actual working would have accomplished better results. THEQDORE ROOSEVELT. The White House, Dec. 11, 1906. Executioner Saved Watch. Joseph Lang, the public executioner of Vienna, wears a heavy gold watch chain and a massive watch, which is held securely in his pocket by a thief-proof hook. Both the chain and the hook withstood the attack of a pick-pocket who endeavored to relieve the hangman of his treasure in a crowded street of the Austrian capital recently. The thief was captured, and the watch, on which the grewsome record of its owner's official activity is engraved, was saved, HO! FOR XMAS Easy Terms. The Denver Music Co. 1907 Broadway, Cor. Glenarm.

Rivers, proprietor of this paper is off for an extended holiday visit to the old homestead and parental roof down in Maryland. Mr. Rivers has earned a little rest and vacation and the best time to take it is during the holidays, when the hearts of friends and relatives are warm with Christmas joy and devotion. During the proprietor's absence he will visit Philadelphia, New York, Washington and Baltimore to see what progress the race is making in the great centers of commerce and business in the East. He will endeavor to say a good word all along the line for Colorado and its great people and growing success and advancement along all lines of material and intellectual development. We will also bring to the attention of our readers whatever new and inspiring efforts being made in the East for the elevation of the race and the common good. Our parting greeting to our many readers is, a merry Christmas and a happy New Year to you, one and all. PERRY CLAY CHOSEN. Our good editor friend, Perry A. Clay, proprietor of Clay's Review, has secured the choice plum in the gift of Denver's judicial board. He has been appointed district clerk to serve for six years. Mr. Clay is a well known publicist and editor, a staunch Republican and a true friend of the people and the party. A man who enjoys a well-earned popularity and is deserving of his high and responsible appointment. The Colorado Statesman extends its congratulations to Editor Clay and believes he will fill his place to the satisfaction of all concerned. Editor Clay has been a warm friend of the Colorado Statesman and has always said a good word for us where it would do the most good. He is not afraid to encourage and help others while climbing himself. He believes in a fair division of business and honors among all who are engaged in helping to push forward the success and upbuilding of Denver and Colorado. Our city and state would be largely benefited if we had more men of the type of Perry A. Clay. TEMPEST IN A TEAPOT. The Storer case, now before the public eye, is the wrath of an indignant and ambitious woman set on advancing her husband into public office and prominence. Her plans miscarried and now the world must listen to her tale of woe. While we do not have much sympathy with Mrs. Storer's story, yet it involves President Roosevelt in a teapot tempest, for it turns loose the tongues of gossipy women on the President. The Catholic church also comes in for a scoring and Bishop Ireland, the one man in the Catholic church of America, beloved by everybody, saint and sinner, Protestant as well as Catholic, is shown to be ambitions in seeking preferment through designing friends. Here is mukrake galore and plenty of it. The President is in for it and our only hope is that he will be able to come out of it with clean hands and spotless reputation. Another phase of presidential trouble is the holding up in the Senate of the President's Cabinet appointments. Again Mr. Roosevelt is put at disadvantage. Evidently the ship of state is not to sail in as smooth waters this session as it did last. The readers of these columns will remember our prophecy several weeks ago that when he touched the Negro his troubles would begin. The Scripture says, "Touch not mine anointed and do my prophets no harm." Somehow we feel that this has some reference to the Negro, and when the President pitcheo in hand and feet to the Negro soldiers we predicted there would be trouble ahead for the administration. Every day brings our prediction more true. We wish our President no harm. We would not retaliate or strike back at him or revenge ourselves, but we feel that President Roosevelt's course this session will not be a pleasant one and that he must do many more noble and right things in order to make us forget the unjust ones. REV. FORD'S RESIGNATION. The work of the pastor of Zion church has steadily moved forward for seven consecutive years. Each year has marked a certain advancement until the seventh year has been completed. This marks a complete cycle of years and labor. Now Rev. Ford comes forward with his resignation. No one was expecting it; no one was prepared for it. It took the friends, the church and the public by surprise. Everybody was dumbfounded, but it was like everything that Rev. Ford does. He makes no noise, no boasts, no proclamation. He just goes on doing things and lets others talk. Bugles, blare of trumpets, drums and hot air do not interest him; neither does compliments swell his head or favors change his course. He is a man with a mission and moves on toward its fulfillment. When he thinks that he has done his work he is ready to fold his tent and quietly slip away to new fields to begin life all over again in new surroundings. There is a strenuous effort being made by all classes of citizens, white and colored, ministers and laymen, as well as members of Zion church to have the pastor change his mind. There is much to do in Denver. Zion needs a new house that will meet the needs of this growing congregation. The young men of Denver need the advice and encouragement which Rev. Ford can give. The public needs his influence and example, all of these things have been urged upon him by individuals and letters. Whatever the final decision that may be reached, it is certain that the work is in good shape to begin a new seven-year engagement, and if the progress of the past can be taken as a prophecy of the future, Zion church will continue to hold high rank among Christian institutions. The Christmas holidays are now upon us. The hum of business, the activity of the purchasers, the display of suitable and fancy presents, in the stores demonstrates that we are going to have the best holiday business that has been done in Denver for years. No one ought to be without Christmas cheer and Christmas plenty. The old folks at home should be remembered, the relatives and friends near at hand not forgotten. Every one ought to assist in making the sun shine brighter at the Christmas tide. The spirit and joy of giving ought not to be diminished or grow obsolete. As this impulse lives so do we live and when it cools or expires within us we are dying. It may be a fact that but few of us can give lavishly, yet every one ought to give something. A few should not receive more than the want or need, but no one ought to be entirely forgotten. If all of the gifts could be so dispersed as to be put in the right place what a splendid thing it would be. The Colorado Statesman calls attention to this so that you can look out some lonely, unfortunate, unremembered one who will not have a present until you give it. It will be a great joy to your heart if perchance someone should say, "I would not have been remembered at all unless Mr. or Mrs. So and So had remembered me." Make yourself a go-between to see that no one is neglected and you will say, "It is the best Christmas I have ever enjoyed." The stores of Denver are already a beehive of Christmas shopping and you should begin early to make your purchases so as not to be behind in the good work that now lies before you. See our advertisements in this issue of the paper and go there for you are certain to receive the best attention from them. Since they think enough of you to use our columns they certainly think enough of you to give you polite attention and the best bargains. Price & Co.

DAILY LECTURES IN DENVER Elaborate Project for Advertising Colorado's Resources — Lectures and Stereopticon Exhibitions — Fifty Thousand Dollars to Be Raised. Denver.—Plans for advertising Colorado and her magnificent opportunities for investment, on a scale never before attempted, have been completed by the Colorado State Commercial Association. The first step will be to remove the headquarters to a larger and more centrally located building at 1647 California street. The total floor space to be occupied is 3,100 feet. The front portion will be the offices of the association, and the publicity bureau. All pictorial and printed matter which the association has now, over 250 booklets and pamphlets, will be attractively displayed for the visitor, farther back in the room. The exhibit of Colorado resources which will be increased in size rapidly, will find a place in the rear of the publicity department. A new feature to be added to this department will be revolving cabinets of the finest photographs procurable of Colorado scenery, buildings, farms, ranches, irrigation enterprises, etc. The greatest of all the new features, however, is to be an auditorium to occupy the rear portion of the building. It is planned to have this apartment fitted up with upholstered furniture and other comforts to attract the visitor. In this auditorium, as is done at commercial headquarters in Los Angeles, illustrated lectures on Colorado will be delivered twice daily, in the afternoon and evening, by men thoroughly acquainted with the conditions here. The lecture course will start early in January. Every stranger with Denver's gates will be invited to attend these lectures. New guests at the various hotels will find in their mail box in the morning a handsomely engraved card calling their attention to the Colorado State Commercial Association, and giving them a pressing invitation to attend one or more of the lectures and learn something of interest about this wonderful state. John T. Jurns, secretary of the association, has been making for some months a close study of the successful advertising methods used by commercial associations on the Pacific coast in drawing attention to the resources of those states. In April next it is proposed to begin a series of special lectures by eminent talkers on the different features of the state and the cities. These subjects will include mining, irrigation, beet sugar, agriculture, dry farming, plans for beautifying the cities and towns, etc. Under this series will also some lectures on the special advantages as a place for investment, of Denver, Colorado Springs, Cripple Creek, Pueblo, Greeley, Grand Junction, Glenwood, Fort Collins, Leadville, Canon City, Durango, and, in fact, every city, town and mining camp in the state. There will also be a series of lectures on the resources of the various counties. The very best views that can be had will be used on the scenes. The bureau will also put in a superb collection of maps of the various counties, sectional and otherwise. The department of statistics of the commercial association is making great progress gathering reliable statistics from the various counties, and hopes to have the figures complete by early in the new year. These will be a most valuable adjunct to the association's fund of information about Colorado. The work of raising the $50,000 necessary to boost Colorado on an elaborate scale is well under way and it is expected that the fund will be of sufficient proportions to warrant proceeding on the lines above described without much delay. FRANCHISE SUSTAINED Denver Gas and Electric Company Wins in Court. Denver.—Judge Peter L. Palmer Tuesday swept the last prop from under the quo warranto suit instituted to test the Denver Gas and Electric Company's title to the twenty-year franchise, which on the face of the returns was approved by the qualified taxpaying electors at the municipal election held on May 15th. At the suggestion of the attorneys for the Light company, Judge Palmer ruled that any voter who owned property subject to assessment, whether assessed or not, was a "qualified tax paying elector," and as such was entitled to vote on the franchise. In the face of this ruling it was deemed useless for the district attorney to proceed with the case, and Mr. Silverstein, speaking for District Attorney Stidger, so stated to the court. The state, therefore, rested its case and gave notice of an appeal to the Supreme Court. Judge Palmer immediately entered judgment for the Light company and signed the decree that was prepared by the attorneys for the corporation. Charges Against Shea. Chicago.—The use of dynamite with which to hurl hundreds of strike-breakers into eternity was planned by Cornelius Shea, president of the United Brotherhood of Teamsters in the great strike of 1905, according to a witness who testified in the trial Tuesday Shea was depicted by the witness acalmly proposing the dynamiting of a lodging house in which the men were quartered. Scarcely less sensational in its effect on the auditors was the statement that the conspiracy extended to placing strike pickets on the police force as special officers, sworn to protect the strike-breakers against violence.
