THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY CRITICISED Editor Cayton of the Seattle Republican Answers the Wilber Register in Its Attempted Criticism of Andrew Carnegie. VOL. XIV. CRITI Editor Cayton of the Seattle Repu- in Its Attempted Criticis In an address before the students of Howard University, Andrew Carnegie sums up the race problem in the following words: "It is not now a question of what will we do with the Negro, but how can we get more of them." In other words, if we are to eradicate crime from the universe we must breed more criminals. If we are to maintain a high intellectual standard we must breed more mental weaklings. If we are to maintain a high standard of citizenship we must breed more children who are utterly incapable of developing into good citizens. Mr. Carnegie has evidently borrowed from the homapaths the axim, "What causes a disease will cure it," and applied the same remedy to social problems.—Wilber Register. The Seattle Republican replies to the critic as follows: Who, in heaven's name are the real criminals of the South, the blacks or the whites? That the blacks are more or less given to petit pilfering and occasionally graver offenses is not denied, but are they to be compared with the reign of terror that the whites have cause to exist in every state south of Mason and Dixon line for the past thirty years or more? How few the murders and rapes committed by the black man of the South in comparison to the wholesale carnage of human gore and innumerable rapes on innocent women that can be laid at the white man's door? Granted the black man occasionally rapes an innocent white woman, even then is not the white man a million times more criminal than the black man for does not he desise to criminally inhabit with every black woman with whom he comes in contact? Is there a single home in the South where live a white father and Son in which a black woman is safe to work even as a servant without being criminally assaulted by one or both of them? Would you pronounce such either right, religious or refining? Do you think the black woman or the white man aggressor in such illicit relations? If the millions of mulattos of this country are not criminals from the time of their birth until their death then it is not because they were not conceived in sin and born in iniquity, and we do not believe you are willing to declare the black woman is wholly responsible for such a state of affairs. The in- --- nocent white woman, who is occasionally misused by some burly black brute, gets the sympathy of all Christendom, but comes not a word of sympathy for the poor black woman, who, either by force or violence or by superior intellect of the white man, is made a human outcast to satisfy his damnable passions and to doubly guarantee the virgin purity of the white woman. The three or four million mulattos in the United States are living evidences that the blacks are being rapidly absorbed by the whites, and one almost shudders to think that all this is the work of the white man, the very one who is burning black men at the stake, if they show the slightest sigh of even becoming familiar with the white woman. It's an easy matter for you to see the pigeon on the barn, but next to impossible to see the barn. Senator Tillman, South Carolina says, "no Negro woman is virtuous." From the number of mulattos in the state of South Carolina there seems to be some truth in the statement, but the senator failed to tell us how many virtuous white men there were in South Carolina. In the struggle to preserve the honor and chastity of the white folk, does none of the responsibility rest on the white man? Are the men of the white race licensed to live lives of moral lepers and expect the honor, integrity and uprightness of their white offspring to be wholly dependent on their mothers? Instead of heaping coals upon the heads of the poor untutored black folk, who are making a noble struggle to rise triumphantly from the pits of slum to which they were forced by the hands of the white men of the South, let the white men of the North stand out for simple justice for the black man. Only that and nothing more. Instist that he gets no more or less than what he deserves. Let the spirit of fairness prevail. Do not measure the degree of the crime committed by the color of the skin of the criminal. Even where the black man commits heinous crime on white women, did it ever occur to you that perhaps he was simply retaliating for the moral wreck of a darling daughter who had fallen a victim to the lusts of some heartless white man, who, if criticised by an older head, laconically replies, "She was only a nigger." Do not forget that a God above sees it all and His recording angel is writing it down. ADVANCED LYNCHING The Tunica (Miss) correspondent told recently of the "largest lynching of recent years" being "pulled off without much excitement or disorder," but to Van Vleet belongs the honor of having afforded the finest example of advanced lynching in the history of Mississippi. According to the correspondent at that point, Henry Sykes, a Negro, who, it is alleged, had insulted a white woman over the telephone, was seized by a number of determined citizens and hanged. After putting through the business in hand in a quiet and orderly manner with no waste of time, the determined citizens went to their respective homes. It is always more or less difficult to identify an unknown person by his voice over the telephone, and it may be possible that Harry Sykes was not the man who called up tee weite woman and telephoned the insult, but perhaps the voice sounded like that of a Negro, and the mob, after having satisfied itself that Sydes was black; or brown as the case may have been—decided upon the execution without trial. Perhaps the determined citizens of any other state would have hesitated to hang a man against whom a charge of disorderly conduct had been preferred but not proven, but in the philososhy of the untrammeled Mississippiian "he who dallies is a dastard and he who doubts is damned," when an opportunity to "pull off" a lynching presents itself. Louisville Courier Journal. A NEGRO SGULPTURESS The current issue of The World contains an interesting article dealing with the artistic attainments of Meta Warick, a Philadelphia sculptress, recognized throughout the country as one of the true artists of the nation. The author of "The Clansman" or the pitchfork statesman of South Carolina would of course consider himself everlastingly disgraced if he shook hands with her, for she is a Negro. The only trace of Caucasian blood in her ancestry is from the white husband of a far-off semi barbarian "princess," of which Miss Warrick claims to be a descendant. But her ancestors of recent generations were slaves and she herself was a truct gardeners child in the environs of Philadelphia. The art critics have enthusiastically declared that she bids fair to out-Rodin Rodin, the French master who has so signally befriended her with his counsel. The negrophobes would probably think that M. Rodin, of whom they probably never heard, had very little self-respect to receive Miss Warrick as a pupil, but M. Rodin is himself hailed as the Michael Angelo of today. When he permits anyone to call on him, it must be someone of artistic account, and when he calls on anyone, that one's artistic atanding is assured. Miss Warrick is the sculptress of the group at the Jamestown exposition depicting the progress and development of the Negro race since the first Negroes were landed at Jamestown in 1619. This group has been highly praised, though it was executed with such haste that it can hardly be fairly compared with her other works. She has had the distinguished honor of two examples of her works. She has had the distinguished honor of two examples of her work in the Paris Salon in one year. She delights in the horrible, the tragic and the grotesque. As a student her best piece was a head of Medusa, and among her most famous pieces is "The Thief on the Cross." She has not yet attempted a bust of Senator Tillman or of the Rev. Thos. Dixon. Miss Warricks career is one of inspiration to the race to which she belongs, and though she is only an individual, yet her achievements go a long way toward refuting the declarations of such authors as Dr. Schuteldt, whose recent book is entitled "The Negro a Menace to American Civilization." and who have not yet learned that injustice and oppression are great-menaces to an civilization than those who are the victims thereof—Kansas City Journal. A FORGOTTEN TOAST We happened in a home the other night and over the parlor door saw the legend worked in letters of red, "What is Home Without a Mother?" Across the room was another brief, 'God bless Our Home." Now what is the matter with "God Bless Our Dad?" He gets up early, lights the fire, boils an egg, and wipes off the dew of the lawn with his boots, while many a mother is sleeping. He makes the weekly handout for the butcher the grocer, the milkman, the baker and his little pile is badly worn before he has been home an hour. If there is a noise during the night dad is kicked in the back and made to go down stairs to find the burglar and kill him. Mother darns the socks, but dad bought the socks in the first place and the needles and the yarn afterward. Mother puts up the fruit; well, dad bought it all, and jars and sugar cost like the very mischief. Dad buys the chicken for the Sunday dinner, carves it himself, and draws the neck from the ruins after everyone is served. "What is home without a mother?" Yes, that is all right; but what is home without a father? Ten chances to one it's a boarding, father is under the slab and the landlady is the widow. Dad, here's to you—you've got your faults—you may have lots of 'em—but you are all right and we miss you when you're gone.—Exchange. RACE NEWS Gathered from Vartour Sources. Many Negroes are leaving Georgia, Florida and Alabama, going to the far West. William S. Rogers, an AfroAmerican, of Xenia, Ohio, has been elected member of the city council in that city for two years. His associates are all white. Brenham, Texas, Nov. 23.—Horace Lindsey, Negro, is in receipt of the first prize awarded at the State Fair for the best ice machine exhibit. The machine is Lindseys' own invention. Chris. J. Perry, proprietor of The Philadelphia Tribune, has been appointed a roadway inspector in the Bureau of Highways, with a salary of $1,000 a year and $350 for carriage hire. E. Weber, a white man, a sergeant in the U. S. Army, stationed at Columbus, Ohio, was killed last week by Edward Mitchell, colored, who went home unexpectedly and found Weber with his wife. Mitchell stabbed the sergeant and then walked to police headquarters nearby and surrendered. Shreveport, La.—A Kansas City Southern man arriving Sunday night from the South, stated that when they came through Zwolle they were informed that a Pullman porter was taken from jail there just at day light and hanged and burned. It is reported that the Negro attempted to enter the berth occupied by a young lady. The porter lived in Kansas City, and made only a few trips South. Guthrie, Okla., Nov. 24.—Fire destroyed the main building of the State Agricultural and Normal University at Langston today. The loss is $35,000 with insurance of $32,000. Langston is inhabited solely by Negroes. The university was established here ten years ago. Nearly five hundred students are enrolled. It is believed the fire was of incendiary origin, resulting from the bitter Jim Crow fight. NO. 11. Trenton, Oct. 31.—Anthony Coleman, a desperate colored man, who in April, 1903, almost killed Dennis Frawley, a Pennsylvania Railroad detective, was arraigned in Mercer County Court today, and pleaded not guilty. After the assault, during which he shot the detective several times, he escaped, but was later captured in Newark, and sent to the State prison on another charge. His term expired today, and he was arrested as he was leaving prison. Topeka, Kan. Nov. 23. Declaring that he had a confession of one of the men of the mob and the names of many more, George Alexander, an aged Negro, came before Gov. Hoch and asked that legal action be taken in the death of his son who was burned at the stake in Leavenworth, Jan. 15, 1901 Alexander was accompanied by O.T. Drummond, an attorney of Doniphan, Kan. Dummond and Alexander inquired if the reward of $500 was still standing for the arrest and conviction of mob members. They were also told that it had expired within 90 days. They were also told to take their case before the prosecuting attorney of Leavenworth. Pittsburg, Pa., Nov. 29.—Edna Mason, a mulatto, today won the first prize at a beauty show held at a charity bazar in Taylorstown and tonight the admirers of her white competitors threaten to expel Negro population from the neighborhood. Edna, 18 years old, possessed strikingly regular features and with a clear, light brown complexion, come from Louisiana two years ago. At the beauty show she claimed the right to sit upon the stand with her white sisters. One by one the latter dropped out. The mulatto was getting the majority of the ballots. Her millinery and gowns were of the latest designs and worn with a grace that caused the chagrin of the farmers' daughters. Des Moines, Ia, Nov. 23.—From the gold fields of far off Nome Mrs. J. B. Verden, a former East Des Moines colored woman has returned after an absence of thirteen years. She drove directly to her home, an humble cottage at 1108 Fremont street, which she had left a poor girl to return a woman of wealth. Mrs. Verden conducted hotels in the Yukon country while others mined breathlessly for gold. She charged miners $190 a month for meals alone, but she was obliged to pay as high as 78 cents a pound for meat. She saved enough to invest in mines and her fortune was founded. Mrs. Verden returns to Des Moines to make her aged father, Henry Bell, comfortable. Other members of the family have died in the long absence. ```markdown ``` So STRAIGHTENKS KINNY or CURLY HAIR that it can be put in any style desired.

Tributes by Lafcadio Hearn to Class of Workers He Disliked. "Lafcadio Hearn, that wonderful, writer, worked on newspapers in his youth," said a publisher, "and the ruthless way his studies were changed, cut and butchered was a great woe to his heart. "In after years Hearn took a malicious joy in collecting stories about editors—editors and their superior and omniscient way with manuscript. "One of his stories was of an editor to whom a subscriber said: "I enjoyed that poem on the three ages of man in to-day's paper, Mr. Sheers; I enjoyed it immensely. Do you know, though, I thought it was originally written the seven ages of man? "So it was, sir; so it was," said Editor Sheers, pompously. "Yes, the extract was originally written the seven ages of man, but I had to cut it down for the lack of space." "Another story concerned a weather report. A reporter, discussing the weather, wrote that winter still lingered in the lap of spring. "The editor, as he read over the article, called the reporter to his desk and told him that he would cut out that sentence about winter lingering in spring's lap. He said the idea was good enough, and all that sort of thing, but it would not do to publish because the high moral tone of the paper had to be maintained in a town full of school girls." A Real Schemer For six months she had been pleading with him to buy an automobile. "They are too expensive," he protested for the hundredth time. "If I bought an automobile I would have to cut down our expenses." "What expenses?" she asked. "Why, table expenses. For instance, if I had an automobile I couldn't afford to have chicken every Sunday." She laughed. "Why, you goose! If you had an automobile you could run down enough fowls to have chicken every day, to say nothing of big turkeys and nice roasting pigs. Why is it men haven't any brains?" And the next day he hustled around to the nearest dealer and ordered a racing machine. At the County Fair. "Doing a land-office business, eh?" remarked the man from the city, "What is that you are selling, anyway?" "Blessed if I know myself, boss," whispered the fakir at the county fair; "it has zigzag lines all over it and when a woman comes up I sell it to her as a skirt pattern and when a man comes up I sell it to him as a guarded and genuine map of Mars." Tobacco Thrown Away. It is estimated by the head of one of the large tobacco establishments of New York that at least $5,000 worth of tobacco is daily thrown away in the city in unconsumed cigars and cigarettes.

Shoots Three Men in Anteroom to Governor's Office. Boston.—An insane man walked into the anteroom of the executive chamber of the state house Thursday, and, finding Governor Guild's door closed, turned on three prominent labor leaders and fired three shots at them, probably fatally wounding Edward Cohen of Lynn, president of the branch of the American Federation of Labor, seriously wounding Dennis D. Driscoll of Boston, secretary of the same body, and injuring with the muzzle of his revolver Arthur M. Huddell of Boston, former president of the Central Labor union of this city. The insane man, who is John A. Steele of Everett, and who was released on parole last month from the Danvers insane asylum, was overpowered by Private Secretary Charles S. Groves and Gen. J. H. Whitney, chief of the state police. Governor Guild was in his office only a few feet away. He rushed out, assisted in subduing Steele, then knelt by Cohen's side, and subsequently directed the removal of the wounded man to the hospital. Cohen was shot twice through the head and was in a critical condition at the Massachusetts General hospital Thursday night. The third bullet struck Driscoll a glancing blow on the side of the forehead and, making a long wound over the head, rendered him unconscious. He recovered consciousness half an hour later. Huddell's wound, which was at first supposed to be an alarming one, was quickly dressed and will probably cause him little inconvenience. The three labor leaders came to the state house to meet Governor Gulik by appointment in regard to a pardon for A. M. Kennedy of Salem, who is serving a sentence in the Essex house of correction. Mount Morrison Electric Road. Denver,—Plans for an electric interurban railroad from Denver to the summit of Mount Morrison at Morrison in Jefferson county west of Denver, were outlined by John Brisen Walker at the regular weekly luncheon of the Real Estate exchange. Mr. Walker believes that the view from the summit of Mount Morrison is as magnificent as from Pike's Peak and he laid stress in his address to the exchange that instead of being open for only three months in the year, as is the Pike's Peak road, that the summit of Mount Morrison will be open the year round for the benefit of such winter travel as now passes through to California. "I have begun work on a railway to the summit of Mount Morrison," said Mr. Walker, "starting at the base in the park of red rocks. This will be pushed at my own expense in the hope of having the railway opened to the peak and the mountain lighted by 5,000 electric lights, in full sight of Denver, by July 4th next. The trip should constitute Denver's greatest attraction for tourists and instead of stopping for a day, visitors will spend a week in this city and many become permanent residents. It should be good for $1,000,000 a year to Denver's hotels, theaters, banks and mercantile houses. The building of this road to the peak is my personal effort, but in order to make it valuable to Denver, it will be necessary to construct an electric road connection with the street car system of this city, making the trip to the peak in thirty-five minutes. "This connecting road must be, in part at least, the work of those interested in Denver's prosperity and to proceed with it immediately, a corporation has been organized and $250,000 of first mortgage bonds will be issued." Kansas City Bank Failure. Kansas City.—The National Bank of Commerce, the second financial institution in importance in Kansas City, announced its suspension instead on opening Thursday morning, after a steady run of six weeks, during which the bank had paid off $19,000,000 of its deposits, reduced its loans $3,500,000, cut down its cash resources $11,750,000, and sold $2,000,000 of high grade bonds in an effort to meet the demands upon it. Later three small outlying banks in which the Commerce was interested, the Stock Yards Bank of Commerce, the Union Avenue Bank of Commerce and the State Bank of Argentine, also closed. The failure of these banks had been predicted for several days and but little excitement followed the announcement. Secretary's Report. Washington—In his annual report to Congress the secretary of the treasury urges that he be given more discretion in times of emergency, complaining that under present laws his hands are virtually tied when financial crises arise. He says that if he resorts to unusual measures at such times he is severely criticised, even though his efforts be successful, whereas the lack of laws adequate for emergencies is responsible. His only suggestions in this respect are that he be given more discretion or that legislation which will make the currency elastic be enacted. The secretary tells of his action to prevent a panic and says: "The remarkable sound and prosperous condition of the country would seem to warrant the belief that the strain will leave behind no extensive business depression. Fruit Growers Want Chinese. Marysville, Cal.,—California fruit growers in convention here have memorized congress for speedy action in repealing the Chinese exclusion act. The growers contend that long trial and earnest effort have proved the impossibility of inducing reliable white labor to engage in the primary processes of production in the orchard, vineyard, asparagus, sugar beet, onion, celery and other great industries in which tens of millions of dollars are invested. The memorial was adopted by the unanimous vote of the large contion amid cheers. WATERWAYS CONVENTION IMMENSE GATHERING FOR THE PROMOTION OF WATER TRANSPORTATION. RAILWAYS INADEQUATE SECRETARY ROOT DEFINES POLICY OF UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT. Washington, Prominent officials of the national government, governors of states, representatives of foreign powers, members of the senate and house of representatives and leaders in all walks of civil life in America participated Wednesday in the opening of the convention of the rivers and harbors congress. Nearly 2,000 delegates representing every state in the union ware present. Before the congress formally convened, President Ransdell was presented with a silver mounted gavel by the Upper Mississippi Improvement Association. Mr. Ransdell in opening the congress referred to the work of the national administration in promoting trade relations between Americans and foreign countries, particularly those countries lying to the south of the United States, and referred in complimentary terms to the achievements of Secretary Root in promotifm those relations. He then presented the secretary of state. Secretary Root was received with great applause, the delegation rising to greet him. "It is a pleasure," said Secretary Root, "to extend to you the interest and hearty sympathy of the national administration in your great work. It has been a subject of much misunderstanding and depreciation and even of derision. Our people are so busy that the inhabitants of one section of the country understand little of which is going on in other sections." The irrigation scheme, Mr. Root said, had been sought under color of river and harbor improvements. He felicitated the convention on the fact that the river and harbor bills of this day were removed from temptations of the kind referred to. He said that policy followed by the United States must be considered truly as a policy and not as a project. He referred to the construction of the Panama canal and to the improvement of the Erie canal as instances showing that the American people stand squarely behind the improvement of waterways and he expressed the hope that they would assert that policy in the future. "In your last convention," said Secretary Root, "there was some reference that we should not cross a bridge until we reached it. We now have reached the bridge. There is no greater achievement than the transportation of articles valueless at one point to another point where they are valuable. The railroads of the country no longer are able, physically, to carry the traffic of America and the one avenue open to such traffic is waterway transportation. We must move forward or we will go backward. I see American production handicapped by two things: First, the great cost of getting the goods to the seaboard, and second, the absence of an American merchant marine." President Ransdall presented a report of the work of the congress during the past few months. Then he introduced M. Jusserand, the ambassador of France to the United States, who spoke at length, closing by saying: "It is an absolute principle—no forests, no waterways. Without forests regulating the distribution of waters, rainfalls are at once hurried to the sea, hurried, sometimes, alas, across country. After having devastated the neighboring fields, the rivers find themselves again with little water and much sand, and with such rivers how will you feed your canals in all seasons? "Since our forests suffered damages which we are now bent upon repairing at considerable pains and cost, a river like the Loire has been entirely transformed; it used to be the best of waterways, and it is now the river whose inundations are most destructive. The question is as clear as can be: Do you want to have navigable rivers, or do you prefer to have torrents that will destroy your crops and never bear a boat? If you prefer the first, then mind your forests. We can tell you, for we know." Senator Newland, Hon. Marth A. Knapp and other prominent men made forceful addresses. A letter of regret was read from Andrew Carnegie. Its salient point was this: "Instead of spending money on warships to fight imaginary foes, we should spend it on our waterways." Immense Value of Crops: Chicago.—Answers to a circular letter sent on by C. R. Erwin of Chicago to editors of agricultural papers in various sections of the country, show that the nation's land products are of such volume and value as to insure a speedy end of the financial stringency provided they can be turned into cash. Mr. Erwin sought first hand information and was surprised at the uniformly favorable report. Kansas has $200,000,000 worth of grain and the bank deposits of the state aggregate $165,000,000. Reports from the 125,000 square miles of territory which have Spokane as a center, give the value of products there as $77,000,000, an average of over $1,000 for each family in the district. These figures include wheat, dairy products, live stock, poultry, mines and lumber. Wool high, mutton soaring, cattle bringing fair and crops high prices is the showing made in Montana. $11,500 of the Frisco Strike COUNTERMANDED SHOES They were made to sell at $3.50, $4 and $5 You Know Our Price $2.50 NO MORE NO LESS over 200 Styles of Women's Shoes and Oxford and 170 Styles of Men's Shoes and Oxford by more styles and kinds of $2.50 shoes than a West of New York City and you Over 200 Style and 170 Style We carry more styles West o Over 200 Styles of Women's Shoes and Oxford and 170 Styles of Men's Shoes and Oxford.

Held in Readiness to Respond to Call of Governor Sparks. Washington.—President Roosevelt has issued orders to have federal troops held in readiness to aid in restoring order at Goldfield, Nevada. This action was taken upon representation from Governor Sparks of that state that the miners at Goldfield are in revolt and riot. Nevada is the one state in the Union which has no state militia. Governor Sparks does not deem the situation such as to justify federal interference, but as one likely at any time to get beyond his ability to control. The nearest federal military base is at San Francisco. A Goldfield, Nevada, dispatch says. The executive committee of the Mine Owners' Association of Goldfield Wednesday night received assurances from Governor Sparks that the had called upon Washington requesting that government troops be held in readiness for use in the Nevada mining camps, and that a garrison of regulars be established at Goldfield. There is nothing in the immediate situation to require the intervention of troops. The town is as quiet as usual. But it is feared by the mine owners that trouble is brewing and that overt acts might be committed at any time. Money has been scarce in Goldfield, two of the banks closed and caspers' checks resorted to by the third oak, and as all the mines have been shut down for several days the pinch of poverty is being felt by miners, many of whom are improvident, living from hand to mouth. Holdups and burglaries have been frequent of late, attributable to this fact, and there is a general feeling of unrest, which the mine owners fear is likely to break out into a general riot before long. It is protectionary reasons more than because of an acute situation that has impelled the call for troops. Hayemeyer's Millions. Denver.—H. O. Havemeyer, who died on Long Island Wednesday, was about sixty years old. He became a member of Havemeyer & Elder, sugar refiners, in 1869, and a few years later was made manager. In 1891 he organized the American Sugar Refining Company, and has been its president since. This concern now has a capital of $75,000,000, and controls the sugar interests of the United States. He was president and director of the American Coffee Company, director of the National City bank, director of the Alliance Realty Company, of the Central Realty, Bond & Trust Company, Colonial Safe Deposit Company, New Jersey & New York Realty & Improvement Company, and trustee of the Colonial Trust Company. His residence is at Greenwich, Conn. Several years ago he presented the town a public school house costing $250,000. His estate is said to amount to many millions of dollars and he was considered one of the wealthiest men in New York. On account of the great work he has done in expanding the sugar industry in Colorado the news of his death was received with much regret in Denver. Beet Contracts for Next Year. Denver.—A Greeley dispatch says that contracts for growing beets for the season of 1908 for the Great Western Sugar Company are now being signed. It is the intention of the company to fix the acreage in the Greeley, Eaton and Windsor district at 20,000 acres. The new contracts are at practically the same prices as the old, $5 a ton flat rate, $5.50 a ton for the siloed crop and $4.75 a ton flat when the grower refuses to silo one-fourth of his crop. Colorado There will be one important change in the new contract. The grower will be paid twice a month for beets delivered, instead of only once, as is now the case. Manager Granger says this has been the best year in the history of the industry here. The tonnage is better, the sugar contents of the beets more satisfactory, the weather propitious and the factories able to reach their full capacity, nearly 700 tons a day each. Manager Granger estimated the value of the beet crop in the Greeley district this year at $1,500,000 representing 300,000 tons of beets and 30,000 tons of sugar. Denver. Colo. Big Fire at Durango. Durango.—About 2 o'clock Wednesday morning Durango was visited by the most disastrous fire it has known since the one that practically destroyed the city in 1889. Although only one building was destroyed, the loss of its owners and occupants is more than $136,000, with insurance aggregating $67,000. The fire started in the basement at the rear of J. Stein's store in the building recently acquired from the Williams estate by Henderson & Loftus. The stock of Stein's clothing store, valued at $60,000, was entirely destroyed. It was insured for $30,000. The second floor was occupied exclusively by offices. The law firm of Wilson & McCloskey lost its entire library as well as all papers in its possession. The library was one of the finest in this portion of the state. It was valued at more than $6,000 and was insured for $3,000. Drs. Lackey, Hurd, De Shazer, Hutchinson and Morris lost their entire outfit of surgical instruments, valued, with furnishings, at $10,000. They had $2,000 insurance. The law library of Harry Sullivan and the real estate offices of J. H. Arnold were also destroyed. New York—Henry Osborne Havemeyer, president of the American Sugar Refining Company, died Wednesday at his country home, Merrivale Stock Farm, at Commack, L. I., of heart failure following an attack of acute indigestion on Thanksgiving day. From the first the patient's heart was affected and his condition was critical. Resort to the use of oxygen to prolong life was had a few hours before the end Wednesday afternoon. When death came Mrs. Havemeyer, her son, Horace, and her daughter, Electra, and Dr. L. C. Frisbell were at the bedside. He left four children. Denver NIGHT SWEATS, NO APPETITE, USED PE-RU-NA. MRS. LIZZIE LOHR MRS. LIZZIE LOHR, 1155 W. 13th St., Chicago, Ill., writes: "I take pleasure in writing you these few lines, thinking there may be other women suffering the same as I did. "I had my complaints for over a year, nightsweats all winter and no appetite. I was run-down so far that I had to sit down to do my cooking, I was so weak. "I tried many different medicines and doctors also. Nothing seemed to do me any good. The doctors wanted to operate on me. "At last I wrote to Dr. Hartman. I told him just exactly how I was, and he told me what asked me and how I should take Peruna. "I did as he told me for four months, and now I am all cured. "No one can tell how thankful I am to him, as I had given up all hopes of ever getting well again. "I am a widow and the mother of six small children who depend on my support. I work all day and seldom get tired. "I took five bottles of Peruna in all. "Any woman wishing to know more about my case may write to me and I will gladly tell all about it. "I thank Dr. Hartman for what he has done for me."

The several seasons of the year are each marked by some particular holiday event, but at the ending of the year, when the sum of all our labor and all our thought and all our effort has been totaled, we pause for a general feast of rejoicing and of resting and of renewing pledges of faith and of hope and of good will and of fellowship. The celebration of the Christmas season has taken on the joyful character as a beautiful counterpart of the more beautiful religious conception of the birth of peace and joy and good will among men. And this holiday season is now so close at hand that we must hasten our plans for its proper enjoyment. The tokens of love and of friendship, of esteem and of fellowship the expressions of joy and of good cheer and of hope and of confidence; the testimonials of our feeling and desires and the representations of our past successes and our future hopes and ambitions,—all of these things, in the shape of holiday gifts, must now be chosen. And the early chooser will be the wise chooser, for the great store of rare and beautiful things that Denver merchants have provided will commence to be depleted from this very week. It is not wise to put put off selecting them; neither is it wise or necessary to go about the selection in an aimless or unsystematic way. Through the advertising columns of The COLORADO STATESMAN you can get suggestions direct from the adept managers of our great stores which have been prepared especially to arouse the fancies and the admiration of our readers. While they are only suggestions, they are wise ones, and they will lead you to counters and stocks that will charm and delight you, and make your Christmas shopping eacy and full of joy. Look over our advertising columns this week and each following week, and don't overlook the store, shop, factory, merchant or artist represented there. It is the sure way to make the Christmas purchases a lasting source of satisfaction and delight. THE PASSING OF SLAVERY. Commercialism, unrestrained by the Christian sense of moral obligation, is the excuse for slavery in these modern times. It don't matter whether it is the black slave in Africa, or the industrial slave of Caucasian lands, it is the greed for riches under the guise of commercialism which underlies the system by which one class of people is made to wear out the lives of its great numbers so that another class may live in ease and splendor, and governments are so organized that this thing has thrived through thousands of years, and thrives today, except where the moral sense has become so keen that the crime of it all is made to stand out in its true light and to seek relief from its shame in oblivion. It is this thing called commercialism, this greed for money and power, under incorrect governmental systems, which gives England control of another people and that people's country, in India; which gives all the European countries control of aien peoples and their countries in Africa; which gives the United States control of an alien race in the Philippines. And it is this same thing in all of these countries which enslaves the poorer classes and keeps them struggling to meet the needs of life, and blinded to the true rights of humanity. Men do not hesitate to go from one limit to another in the courses that are possible to debase and enslave and deceive their fellow men. But while this thing is a part of governmental systems the world over, and is sanctioned by all of the spoilsmen and thousands of the ignorant victims, the protest of aroused morality is growing up against it, and finds expression through the teachings of able men and women who see the light of man's possibilities. Christian civilization is a boasted heritage, and there is no doubt that it has enlightened and improved the world, but men are beginning to believe that the present civilization is not the ideal civilization, and that much of the systems of government and of social aggregation and control that exists to-day will pass away, and that on their ruins will be built a civilization which will not permit one nation to thrive off the enslavement of another, or one man to live in luxury off the sweat and pain and sacrifice of his fellows. THE FUTURE AMERICA "The future America will be distinctly Aryan," says the Denver Republican. "There will be no prevalent mixture of Asiatic or African blood." This expression was called out by an inquiry as to whether Americans are developing a new type of men. Of course the future American will not be an Englishman nor a Frenchman nor any other kind of a European. But present tendencies indicate that he will have a mixture of English, Irish, Dutch and French blood, and that all other European races will filter in a few red corpuscles. Asiatics have a very small representation on this continent, with scarcely any social affiliations with the European stock, and with restrictions against them increasing, there is little probability that their blood will find permanent lodgment in future American veins. No logical man will deliberately declare for the assimilation of the white and black populations of this country, because it is an unnatural thing to look for, but, whatever the final adjustment of racial relations and conditions may be, there is no getting around the fact that the American stock is already impregnated with African blood, and that its course is beyond tracing. The old, aristocratic families of all sections may be quite sure of their blood lineage, but in a conglomerate population, the aristocratic families do not establish the representative stock, but it springs rather from the middle classes, whose family lineage is neither clear nor certain. On account of a system in vogue in our Southland for many many years, there has been added to this middle class of Americans a stock of octoroons and sixteenth bloods whose exact begetting is not suspected or questioned. They intermarry with the European stock, and though by theory, the contribution of lesser blood would tend to "run out" in there, descendents to the supply of African is there to begin, and its presence or influence in some manner in the future American can hardly be written out with the editorial pen. The wish to do so may be assuring, but it is not scientifically exact. THE MAY CO. EXTRAORDINARY VALUES FOR THE HOLIDAYS COPYRIGHT BY A. M.

Being the son of a clergyman, I have some remembrances of ministerial stories told in my youth. Among them was one of a divine who preached in the city of Portsmouth, and who one summer, with his family, went to a little village on the coast of Maine to spend his vacation. Finding there an unused, dilapidated church, he thought perhaps he could do some good by holding services therein. He obtained consent, and his meetings were fully attended. In the fall the little vessel came for him and his family, and just as they were leaving he saw a delegation coming hastily over the hill and beckoning to him. Thinking perhaps they had some little testimonial for him shore, when they handed him a bill for the use of the church. He took the bill, paid it, and on reaching home framed it and hung it in his study.—Boston Herald. His Idea of Dinner Colonel John S. Flaherty of the Majestic Theater, New York, was speaking of a manager who is noted for spending money liberally on his productions, but who does not always spend the money with advantage to himself and his audiences. "Oh, he spends enough money," said the Colonel; "but he does not always get satisfactory results. He is one of these fellows who, if he had two or three friends for dinner and wanted to show them great honor, would order a hundred dollars' worth of ham and eggs."—The Sunday Magazine.

IN MEMORIAM In memorium of its honored dead, Rice Lodge, No. 39, I. B. P. O. E. of W., held sacred ceremonies at Zion Baptist church last Sunday evening. The church was filled to its capacity long before the hour of the beginning of the program, and the solemnity of the ceremonies revealed a touching memory of their departed brothers and especially those who have departed during the past year, namely the late Julius W. Fields, who died March 19th and Frank L King who died November 6th. Exalted Ruler H. J. H. Brown presided and following the ritualistic ceremonies was an organ voluntary by Miss Mable Fore after which Rev. A. E. Reynolds spoke very pathetically of the departed ones and his words were in no less degree of propriety of the living. It is hardly necessary to state that his remarks revealed a touching lesson. After the singing of "Praise the Lord" by the choir, Chaplain Carl Wilson in eulogizing the brothers whose souls have been hushed in death, brought the audience face to face with their good traits. "If I were a voice" was then sang by the choir. King H. Hayes, then indulged in the individual eulogy of the absent brothers, and as he spoke the names of each individual, the audience was deeply shadowed in solemnity and moved in tears. "Dry those tears" which was sang by Mrs. W. A. Jones, was very apdropriate and was evidenced in reality. The closing ceremonies by the Elks followed next after which the benediction was pronounced.

Denver, Colorodo TAFT RECEIVED BY THE CZAR HAS A LONG AUDIENCE WITH EM- PEROR NICHOLAS AT TSAR- SKOE-SELO. TALK IN PRIVATE STUDY DISCUSSES AMERICAN MILITARY PHILIPPINE AND CANAL PROBLEMS. St. Petersburg.—Secretary Taft was received in audience Wednesday by Emperor Nicholas at Tsarskoe-Selo and heard from his majesty the frankest expression of Russia's sentiments of sympathy in regard to the United States. The Emperor requested Mr. Taft to convey his greetings to President Roosevelt. The secretary spent about five hours with the Emperor and enjoyed the honor of a long intimate conversation regarding matters in the United States and the problems confronting the American government. As the Empress is ill, Mr. Taft did not see her, but was presented to the other members of the imperial family. On account of the secretary's expressed desire that he be received unofficially, no salute was fired, but the reception which was given a military setting by a parade and regimental festival of the Semenovsky regiment, the officers of which attended the luncheon with Mr. Taft. The secretary, accompanied by Brig. Gen. Clarence R. Edwards, Captain Siocum, American military attache, and Count Konitz, the Russian officer who is acting as his aide during his sojourn in this city, left St. Petersburg at an early hour on a special train for Tsarskoe-Selo, where the party was met by a state equipage and several court officials. The visitors were driven direct to the so-called "little palace," the residence of the Emperor, and escorted through the palace with the usual ceremonials. Secretary Taft was received by his majesty in his private study. There the Emperor discussed with him military topics at considerable length. He questioned Mr. Taft concerning his journey over the trans-Siberian railroad, and drew a contrast between the present means of communication and the method in vogue (three-horse sleighs and steamers across the rivers and the lakes) when he made his trip across Asia to inaugurate the trans-Siberian line. The Emperor showed a keen interest in the problems which the American government has to solve in the Philippine islands, and he asked many questions concerning the new Philippine assembly. He referred also in a complimentary manner to the work done by the American government on the isthmus of Panama in its fight against the yellow fever. At the riding school, where the Semenovsky regiment, 1,800 strong, accompanied by a machine gun battery and several other detachments, was drawn up for review, the Emperor and Secretary Taft were received with cheers. Then the Emperor and his guest, accompanied by their respective staffs, walked together through the lines of the regiment and inspected its formation. When this exhibition was over, the troops passed twice at quick step before the reviewing party, and then the host and his guests returned to the palace for luncheon. At night Secretary Taft and the members of his party were entertained at dinner by Minister Iswolsky. At this function there were present also Premier Stolypin, Minister of Finance Koskoswvkil, War Minister Gen. Rudiger, Lieutenant General Balatzyn, chief of the general staff, and the most prominent officials of the foreign office. The occasion was marked by great cordiality and the exertion of unmatched effort in the bonds of friendship between the two countries would be strengthened. Fraud in San Francisco San Francisco.—After having met on 100 separate days on which 118 sessions were held, and having returned 441 indictments, involving forty-seven persons, the Oliver grand jury, the most noted in the city's history, made its final report to Superior Judge Coffey Tuesday. The report says in part: "We cannot even outline the vast amount of evidence received by us showing corruption and vice of the lowest kind, involving the greatest moral turpitude, such as the participation of our former mayor of our city in the proceeds earned by the prostitution of the lowest of fallen women, which constitute a recital of seemingly inconceivable sin, shame and violation of law. "The unlawful and corrupt protection given by the police to vice for the benefit pecuniary and politically, of the heads of the administration and many of the rank and file of the departments, is unbelievable. If it were not for the low character of the witnesses examined and the tangled mass of contradictory evidence submitted, much of it undoubtedly perjured, but in a way perjury could not be legally proven, indictments would have been found for extortion and conspiracy in forming a house of ill-fame trust. "There was not a property owner in San Francisco after the fire, on whose property there remained any salvage, who was not robbed by connivance of the police officials with the junk thief." Of those who were Tuesday indicted by the grand jury, Edward Graney of the so-called fight trust, ex-Supervisor G. E. Duff, and Luther Brown, all put up bonds Tuesday. Graney's bond was in the sum of $45,000, Duffy's $30,000 and Brown's $10,000. LIZARDS THAT LIKE MUSIC. Tuatars of New Zealand Very Fone of Rollicking Chorus. A curious fact has lately been learned ed about the tuatara, the large native lizard of New Zealand. It is a great fat, sleepy thing, from a foot upward in length, with a measurement around it of about twelve inches. It is kept tamed, about rocks. Wild specimens are growing rare, though one island off the coast still swarms with them. These harmless things come out as a rule only for food. But some one in Christ church has discovered a way of bringing them out at any time. This is by singing to them. They have preferences in music, too. They evince much more satisfaction at a rollicking chorus than at a solo. One day a song sung by a girl brought some out, but only their heads were visible, their sleepy eyes opening every few minutes. Then the charmer tried "Soldiers of the Queen" and when all joined in the chorus there was no doubt about the effect on the tuataras. They wriggled about on the rocks, almost dancing in their excitement and joy, until the repertoire of the singers was exhausted, when the lizards sneaked back again to their home among the rocks. New Zealand is the only place in the world where these great lizards are found, and they are said by biologists to be out of their place in this stage of the world's history. They belong to the coal period, and like the moa, ought, by natural laws, to have become extinct long ago.—New York Sun.

"After having the measles my whole head and neck were covered with scaly sores about as large as a penny. They were just as thick as they could be. My hair all came out. I let the trouble run along, taking the doctor's blood remedies and rubbing on salve, but it did not seem to get any better. It stayed that way for about six months; then I got a set of the Cuticura Remedies, and in about a week I noticed a big difference, and in three weeks it was well entirely and I have not had the trouble any more, and as this was seven years ago, I consider myself cured.

"When very young I began using coffee and continued up to the past six months," writes a Texas girl. "I had been exceedingly nervous, thin and very sallow. After quitting coffee and drinking Postum Food Coffee about a month my nervousness disappeared and has never returned. This is the more remarkable as I am a Primary teacher and have kept right on with my work. "My complexion now is clear and rosy, my skin soft and smooth. As a good complexion was something I had greatly desired, I feel amply repaid even tho this were the only benefit derived from drinking Postum. "Before beginning its use I had suffered greatly from indigestion and headache; these troubles are now unknown.

In his endeavor to impress his hearers with the shame and remorse that this young man felt and his desire to cast away his wicked doings, he spoke thus: "Dis young man got to thinking about his meanness and his misery, and he tuk off his coat and frowed it away. And den he tuk off his vest and frowed dat away. And den he tuk off his shirt and frowed dat away too. And den he come to himself." How's This?

Two middle-aged women on a car were discussing the sickness of two children of one of them. "And what does the doctor say ails them?" asked one. "The little child has some sort of a fever," was the answer, "and he said that the disease of the other was epidemic." "It's a sickness I never heard of," responded mother number one. Sheer white goods, a fact, any fine wash goods when new, owe much of their attractiveness to the way they are laundered, this being done in a manner to enhance their textile beauty. Home laundering would be equally satisfactory if proper attention was given to starching, the first essential being good Starch, which has sufficient strength to stiffen, without thickening the goods. Try Defiance Starch and you will be pleasantly surprised at the improved appearance of your work. Why She Went Home to Mother. Mrs. Newwed—Isn't the bread line in a great city pathetic? Newwed—Very.

It was his first circuit, and, moreover, he had to defend his first client, who was a better known than respected burglar. In an interval he approached a veteran member of the bar and sought for advice. "And how long do you think I ought to make my speech to the jury, sir?" he finished up. "I should say about an hour," said the old hand. "An hour! Why, I thought ten minutes would be ample! Why so long? "Well," said his adviser, "you see, they can't sentence him till you're finished, and the longer you talk the longer he'll be out of jail!"—Stray Stories. Going to Be Fined. When George Ade was a newspaper reporter he was sent to "write up" an Irish laborer who had fallen from a building. When Mr. Ade arrived on the scene, several officers and others were helping the injured man into the ambulance. Mr. Ade pulled out his pad and pencil. "What's his name?" he asked one of the policemen. The injured man, who had heard Ade and who mistook him for the timekeeper employed by the contractor, rolled his eyes in a disgusted way. "What d'ye think o' that?" he muttered. "I'm goin' to be docked for the few minutes I lose goin' to the hospital!"—Success. With a smooth iron and Defiance Starch, you can launder your shirt-waist just as well at home as the steam laundry can; it will have the proper stiffness and finish, there will be less wear and tear of the goods, and it will be a positive pleasure to use a Starch that does not stick to the iron.

HAT OF "EVEQUE" FELT Much of our interest is now centered in frills, and here I find myself again conceitedly exulting in my successful knack of prophecy. You may be deceived in the cost of a coat and skirt, but the frills are of a more telltale disposition, and the eyes of the least expert can detect at once which are made of fine muslin or batiste, and which of mercerized lawn or any of the cheaper sort of fabrics which can be called upon to do such service. A very superior specimen has a hand-embroidered center plait, flanked on either side with a lace frill; and a very attractive model has an insertion of lace down the center of the front, a plaited lawn frill on either side being edged with lace, while the collar band is of transparent lace, and the base of this is finished with a narrow black tie. Doubtless we shall suffer considerably from the machinations of the inexperienced or willfully wicked washerwoman, and those who are going to indulge themselves in frills of fine quality had best set about it at once to find a successful clear starcher. And having discovered her, teach her how not to starch. It seems quite right and proper that these dainty-laced decorations of tuckers and rufflings should accompany the beaver and panne hats, trimmed with feathers and well allied to velvet gowns, they may pass for what we should have called in the early days of the century "brave array." I confess myself much in love with the notion of the plain dress which looks simple, with an elaborate shirt and frillings and ruffles, and crowded with a very expensive hat with beautiful feathers upon it. And, talking of beautiful feathers, I would refer once more to those new elaborations of the ostrich feather. The manufacturers have contrived now to extend the length of their fronds, so that they have a shaggy appearance, and they are as delightfully attractive as novel. Indeed, by the side of them the ordinary ostrich feather, even if it be of very good quality, seems quite uninteresting. Sometimes these feathers are shaded, two dark colors being most successfully used, such as peacock blue and brown, and two tones of one color will also do good service. There is a great rage for the satin hat, and this shares favor with the hat of silks. An excellent model which is enjoying much favor having the brim of white silk, bound with brown velvet, and the crown very full and large and made entirely of brown velvet; innocent of any trimming whatsoever, and somewhat in the old beef-eater shape, is this crown. The striped tweeds and the striped velvets are no longer threatening—they have arrived. A coat and skirt of dark blue and black velveteen I met recently looked extremely well under the influence of a dark blue velvet hat with masses of black wings at one side, and over this fell a veil of dark blue soft chenille net. I have by no means exhausted my affection for veils, and wish they were more general. They lend special grace to the head and exercise a benign influence on the extravagances of the millinery. A short brown tweed skirt and a brown velvet coat and a dark purple hat with a purple vell over it achieves a charming effect, and again I may quote as being particularly admirable a dress of mole-gray, with a mole-gray hat and a mole-gray vell, with blue Japanese embroidery forming the low double-breasted waistcoat, which was cut in a V at the top to exhibit the indispensable jabot frill of muslin. A CHARMING DRESS One would have to search far to find a dress more tasty or elegant than the one pictured here. The material of which it is made is of the palest sky blue satin, cut in a sort of combination of the pinafore frock of our summer's affections and the new princess dress which is draped across the figure and opens all down the skirt slightly at one side. The under-vest is of fine white tulle illusion, encrusted with large flower motifs, K. M. H. which are embellished with little empire wreaths in blue ribbon work. To increase the princess effect the entire dress is bordered with a fine pale blue passementerie, which outlines the bretelles of the bodice, descends along the opening on one side of the skirt and borders the hem. Our artist gives a little sketch of the pretty way the fullness of the bodice is held by the stitched bands rising back and front, centered by an oval embroidered motif in the shape of a buckle. The sleeves are of net, like the vest, and are finished with a twist of blue satin ribbon and flouces of valenciennes. Five hundred and fifty pounds was paid by a nobleman at the beginning of the eighteenth century for a dog collar of gold. A collar of silver, with four small diamonds, costing 200 guineas, was sold to a society lady for her pet dog. It is fashionable in France to put gold bracelets studded with jewels on the forelegs of poodles. The plain gold collars with jeweled settings cost no less than £20, while the jeweled collars run to £100. The bracelets run from £2 to £70 each CARRUTH & STEWART, Proprietors. SUPERIOR SERVICE.
