THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY IN MEXICO The Negro is not the Cursed Son of an Inferior Race. He is the Redeemed of Civilization. VOL. XIV, IN ME The Negro is not the Cursed Son Redeemed of Speaking of the conviction of a white man for killing a Negro, the El Popular, a Spanish paper pub- lished Nov. 22, at Mexico City, says editorially: It is a real, effective, consoling lesson, that which the last jury gave, before whom the murderer of a poor Negro, Samuel Hampton, was condemned to capital punishment. Yes, it is a real demonstration of our progress. With such proofs as this, we can aspire to the epithet of cultured, and moreover, elevate ourselves to the highest ranks of justice and superior rank of real civilization, higher than some other countries. A Negro! And what is a Negro? is asked in most of the countries called great and proud, with their boasted development. A Negro seems to be a species of monkey, an inferior in the zoological scale, an evident degeneration besides the white man. In the United States, the prejudice against race, a stigma of the blood, is terrible. There the Negro is less than an animal; he is a specie of a stinking, horrible thing. When this unhappy being, oppressed by the frightful wheels of the social mechanism desires to rebel, the law scarcely exists for him. Our cousins of the North have reserved lynch law especially for the Negroes, because in their conception they are the only ones who merits it. When a Negro commits a fault, whatever may be his offense, they do not discuss the matter, they kill him in peace. The Negro in North America! Poor being, whose only crime is having been born in burning Africa under the palms and the torrents of the mysterious continent, where nature is more savage and the sun more implacable. Poor slave, whose chains the free country of Washington has refused to untie since his independence, and for the emancipation of him it was necessary that one half of the United States hurl itself against the other half. There in the country of free men, for the Negro, the lash, and in these times, the revolver, for the mere fact of being black. But in Mexico, no, and here is the laudable lesson of the last jury. Here we live without prejudice nor anathemas. Whatever millionare in the United States if he should even present in the ends of his finger nails a single trace of Negro or mulatto blood, --- whatever the amount of his millions, he would be ostracised with scorn and banished from all parts. But we repeat, in Mexico it is not the same. Here, the Negro is not the cursed son of an inferior race, he is not the slave of eternity, he is the redeemed of civilization. For this, when a Negro succumb under the blows of a criminal, the laws condemned his murderer to death. For this Samuel Hampton has been condemned to death, and for this the jury has proclaimed with regard to him the formidable law. Ab ipso ferro. The Negro may be abandoned and despised in other parts. here, perhaps he is more favored than others from the mere fact of finding himself affected a weight which he has neither asked nor merited. And how ennobling is this lesson of the Mexico jury. What an example for the other countries. How often a bronzed face conceals more noble sentiments than a white face, how often from those deformed lips come sentiments better and higher, and expressed in sweeter words, and how many times those same mouths that sing melancholy songs, that repeat in an unconscious manner a savage sound, are more sincere and result more noble than those shaved faces of many of the kings of the dollar. How many whites would like to have the hearts of a Negro. Poor being, who is all abnegation and affection when he is treated well, who has personified the sublime love in Othello, in Mexico, for thee there are no thorns, and he who wounds thee and kills thee pays with his blood and with his life, for in this country the social law has highly proclaimed the great evangelical principle. "All men are equal." REV. DR. SMALLWOOD In a recent address at the Plymouth Congregational church, Scranton, Pa., Rev, Dr. Smallwood made an eloquent plea for the Negro. He said in part: "The Negro is not here in this land of the free and home of the brave, on his own account. Commercial greed brought him here. That his coming to this land even under the circumstances such as was in existence at that time and for the purpose in which specula- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1907. tors brought him here, he has been a most valuable human adjunct to the material wealth of this republic. "He felled the trees of the forest. He cut out our great ditches at the South. He has built our railroads. He has perpetuated our great cotton and peanut industry. He has by his physical durability worked to maintain the agricultural and mechanical honor of the South. He has fought upon every field of battle. Wherever the American flag has gone in time of war he has followed it, as an American soldier. Wherever the flag has been thrown to the breeze in time of peace he has been under it, a faithful law-abiding citizen. "The Negro is an American citizen. He is not an anarchist. He is a native lover of the rights of men. Although denied many of the human rights in his own native land he delights to see the sons of other countries come to his native shores and enjoy a greater and more profound freedom and citizenship. "You have been told that to free the Negro was a great mistake; that under the circumstances he could not take care of himself. But this statement has been proven false within its own limits. Freed forty-two years ago; left alone in the very worst human conditions, in the face of human prejudice, and political as well as social and industrial misrepresentation has accumulated over $300,000,000 taxable property. He has produced United States senators and congressmen, of which the nation has never been made ashamed, and not one of whom was ever tried for graft. "His own doctors, laboring under great social and professional embarrassments, have made their way into some of the best families of the nation as a sensible physician. He has ever under ostracism and political proscription responded to the call of the nation. "I see God's hand at work in my own state. The Negro is leaving the large plantation life; he is buying for himself 10,15,20 or 100 acre lots; he is shipping his own truck, peanuts, cotton or pork. He is sending his child to school; he is establishing for him the confidence with the best white people. He is letting politics alone and he is gradually throwing off the awful shame of the plantation life and is a real factor in the commercial world. "I am establishing an institution upon the very spot where the first Negro was sold after they had landed at Old Jamestown. The Negro does not ask for 'social equality' He does not want to marry white women. He only asks for a fair chance in the new life. I appeal to the white men all over this land to give the Negro a fair chance. Let him live as other men in other races live. Let us teach the Negro that he must overcome caste and political proscription by being a real citizen and an intelligent man. Old Bagley hall, first built in 1624, and used as an old slave sales-house from 1624 to 1865, is now being rebuilt by Negro skill at a cost of $7,500." RACE NEWS Gathered from Various Sources. Pine Bluff, Ark.—A boiler at a gin house of the Trulock plantation, seven miles, south of Pine Bluff, exploded, killing J. R. Trulock and five Negroes and demolishing the gin. The National Baptist Publishing Board has recently moved into its new and commodious home in Nashville, Tenn. Dr. R. H. Boyd says that $20,000 is being spent in machinery for properly equipping the establishment and that before the year is ended something like $35,000 will have been spent, thus adding greatly to the facilities for getting out more and better work. Winsted, Conn.—John Piper, colored, heard a commotion in his hennery a few nights ago and caught a well known white man with chickens under his coat. The thief, whose name Piper will not divulge, surrendered the fowl and apologized after explaining that he wanted the chickens for a joke. Piper says he got something to keep his mouth shut. Chicago, Nov., 30—Panic stricken in a smoke-filled apartment building at Twenty-sixth and State streets. Mrs. H. E. Leffler, dropped her baby from a third story window to day. Martha Blacburn, colored, who was below on the sidewalk, made a swift running catch and the child was unhurt. Several women in the apartment building were overcome by smoke and down a fire scape. The fire was confined to one apartment. There are many departments in the general government that will not employ colored clerks after they have successfully passed the Civil Service examination. In the Forest Division of the United States Department of Agriculture two young colored women, who have passed the Civil Service examination, were sent for after they presented themselves they were informed that they would be sent for within a week. That week has never arrived. Evansville, Ind., Nov. 27.—The body of Mrs. Mary Barnyard, a Negro woman, who died a week ago, is being held here, and it is not known when the burial will take place. No colored ministers can be found in this city who will conduct the funeral services, because the remaius are in charge of a white undertaker. A year ago the colored ministers and lodges entered into an agreement not to officiate at any funeral unless a colored undertaker had charge of the remains. The case has caused a great deal of comment. Tuskegee, Ala.—Dave Crawford, a Negro, went to the house of M. S. Russell, pulled off his shoes and went on top of the house to make an entrance by going down the chimney. He got wedged about half way down and there he had to remain until morning, when Russell went to make a fire. When the fire began to burn Dave began to yell. It took some time to locate him, and by the time Russell got assistance, toore down the chimney and liberated Dave he was burned from head to foot. The Negro Republics of Liberia and Haiti are very much in evidence at this time. Liberia, on account of the action of England and France in their encrouchment on her territory, which was only averted by the timely action of President Roosevelt and the untiring efforts of such men as Bishop Scott President Barclay and T. McCant Steward of Liberia. Haiti, her institutions, and customs are largely depicted in a most able history of the republic by the Hon. N Lequer, envoy extraordinary and Minister plenipotentiary of Haiti to this country. Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 4.—Bishop H. M. Turner, of the African Methodist Episcopal church, was married here last night to Miss Laura P. Lemon. The bride was formerly the Bishop's secretary, and had secured a divorce from her husband, the Rev. Mr. Poell, last May. At the time the divorce was obtained it was reported Bishop Turner contemplated making the divorcee his wife. Bishop Gaines brought the matter to the attention of the Council of Bishops at their meeting in June. After an investigation, Bishop Turner was notified by the council that such a marriage would not be contenanced by the A. M. E. church. Nothing further was heard of the matter until the announcement of marriage. Columbus, Ga.—In his charge to the Muscogee grand jury, the first charge he has delivered in this county in fifteen years, Judge J. H. Martin touched upon lynching in connection with his reference to the statue against obstructing sheriffs and constables in the discharge of their official duties. He said that the law requiring that if NO. 12. an officer is interfered with in the discharge of his duty he must report the circumstances to the grand grand jury, together with a list of the guilty parties, was enacted because of the great number of lynchings in the county. Judge Martin said with great emphasis that there was no excuse for lynching, as there is no crime for which the law does not provide an adequate punishment. He declared that lynching was the beginning of anarchy and should not be tolerated. "Has it ever occured to you," says a Southern whitie exchange, "that the newspapers of this country owe something to the colored race other than recording day after day the crimes that Negroes commit? What newspapers within your range of reading gives any space to the colored race to promote the best interests of these people? You cannot name one. We hold them up ridicule, we show humourly their dense ignorance and quaint views to make white folks laugh, and we tell with unfailing regularity of the worst they are guilty of, not forgetting to say 'big black brute' and narrate how he was lynched. Now all Negroes are not bad. There is many a good man among them. It is rare that we notice him. We owe it to him to notice him, tell of the good work he does not only to encourage him, but to encourage others of his people. The newspapers of the South has not given the Negro a square deal. Possessed of all the prejudices incident to white life in the South, we nevertheless submit that we, as newspapers, treat the colored man badly and we ought to do better than we have done. By doing so we will contribute to our own welfare." Four Hearts Beat as Two. Four Hearts Beat as Two. A remarkable court decision in a bigamy case has been handed down at Perugia, italy, where Charles Balliori, a tailor, was acquitted of a charge of having two wives on the ground that he has two hearts. Four physicians testified that Balliori has two hearts, and the court at once decided that this was ample reason for him to marry two women. Willing All Should Know. Willing All Should Know. There were some very candid persons in the time of George II. In 1731 the Gentleman's Magazine announced: "Married, the Rev. Mr. Roger Wanna of York, about 26 years of age, to a Lincolnshire lady, upward of 80, with whom he is to have £8,000 in money, £300 per annum, and a coach-an-four during his life only." "Unfastening" Grass. Little four-year-old Artone was looking at his picture book. Upon turning to one picture he asked: "What is that, mamma?" He was told that it was a sickle. "O, yes," he replied, "I saw Mr. Roberts have one of those the other day when he unfastened the grass." It is a remarkable fact that some of the societies which have done most to regenerate the world have been cradled within the walls of city taverns in the darkest hours of our national life—Thornton Hall, in the Sunday Strand. 2% Price & Co.

ANNOUNCEMENT MADE AT URGENT REQUEST OF A GREAT NUMBER OF LEADING CITIZENS. Colorado Springs.—Ex-Congressman Franklin E. Brooks has become an open candidate for United States senator, making the announcement in reply to the request of more than a hundred of the most prominent citizens of Colorado Springs. The correspondence follows: Colorado Springs, Nov. 30, 1907. "To the Honorable F. E. Brooks, Colorado Springs, Colo.: Dear Sir: We, the undersigned citizens of Colorado Springs, in the belief that we voice the feeling of the great majority of the voters, who form the 1910 M. B. HON. FRANKLIN E. BROOKS. contituency in whose behalf you labored so faithfully and efficiently as congress-at-large, respectfully request that you consent to be a candidate for United States senator at the approaching election. "While it is not our purpose at present to enlarge upon the reasons underlying this request, it may be said in brief that inasmuch as for the past nearly twenty years, the candidate for this high office has been selected invariably from the northern part of the state, it will be conceded, we think, by all fair minded voters, that it is eminently fitting that the southern part be accorded the privilege of naming the candidate this time. "Your acquaintance with men and methods of conducting official business gained by four years in Congress, during which time you labored with unremitting effort for all the citizens of our state, regardless of party affiliation, our confidence in your ability and devotion to the welfare of the entire state, the high esteem in which you are held by all your fellow-citizens, are in themselves reasons sufficient to influence us in the framing of this request." Among those who signed this request are General W. J. Palmer, F. F. Castello, D. B. Fairley, P. B. Stewart, C. E. Noble, John Himebaugh, W. N. Burgess, O. E. Hemenway, Lynn S. Atkinson, George Elstun, W. S. Dunning, John Lennox and more than one hundred other men of high standing in the community. Following is the reply of Mr. Brooks: Colorado Springs, Colo., Dec. 2, 1907. To William J. Palmer and Others, Colorado Springs, Colo.: Gentlemen: Your letter of the 30th ult. is before me. Direct and specific in its terms, it calls for a candid reply. When I retired from the lower house of Congress last year I did so in perfect good faith, without any intention of re- entering public life. Changed conditions and the repeated suggestions of friends, suggestions far more cordial and encouraging than any conduct of mine could merit, have, however, led me to consider very seriously the re- quest you make and I have now defi- nitely determined, in view of the support that is assured me, to become Bryan Hears the News. Lincoln, Neb.—When told that President Roosevelt had made positive declaration that he will not be a candidate for a third term, W. J. Bryan expressed no surprise. He declared the position of the President was as he expected. Mr. Bryan said: "I have assumed from the beginning that President Roosevelt would not be a candidate. The statement he issued the night of election left no room for misunderstanding, and I have felt that his friends were doing him an injustice in suggesting that he would change his position on the subject." Denver. Colo. an active candidate for this very high position. I appreciate keenly the great importance, dignity and responsibility of the office to which I aspire, and it is with real apprehension and diffidence that I contemplate the possibility of filling it; but I should be guilty of want of candor if I did not acknowledge that it appeals to me very strongly and is in line with my tastes and desires. The United States senatorship, however, can of itself confer nothing of honor, dignity or distinction, nor will it bring any real satisfaction or opportunity for usefulness, unless honorably and creditably obtained and faithfully and conscientiously filled. Unless it can be so honorably and creditably obtained, as the expression of the people's confidence and of a desire, uninfluenced by base or improper motives, that I should fill the position, I do not want it, and would not have it. If it can be so obtained, I shall, to the best of my ability, perform its duties faithfully and conscientiously. I feel that the office is, in the highest sense, the people's gift, and in my candidacy I shall endeavor to carry out that belief to the fullest possible degree. While we have no system of direct primaries, I shall want, insofar as possible, a direct expression of popular opinion on the question and by that expression I am entirely willing to abide. I shall, however, see to it that it be an intelligent and direct expression, made after full information. I believe that the issue can be so presented, at least to the voters of this THE BROOKLYN PRESS county, that they may be able to express their preference for senator directly and without complication with other questions. I propose to present the matter in that way. It is therefore my purpose to keep you and the people of this community advised from time to time, clearly and definitely, probably over my own signature, with regard to the progress of the campaign, and I shall trust that each step in my support may be taken in the fullest light of day. I rely in this undertaking upon the people. To them I shall appeal and with their help I shall hope to succeed. It is a cause of congratulation that the other two candidates who have thus far been announced are gentlemen of high character, ability and standing. Mr. Bonynge has served his district with credit and distinction, and in a way that in every way warrants his desire for promotion. Mr. Hamlin has been for many years one of my personal friends and I entertain for him only feelings of high regard. With such opponents the state is to be congratulated upon the prospect of a campaign free from objectionable features and in keeping with the character and importance of the office to be filled. I need not say that I am a thoroughgoing Republican, and believe in the principles of my party. I take great pride in the deeds and achievements of that party and of all its great leaders, I can only promise that, if successful, as I believe I shall be, I shall try to do my duty at all times, to and by this great commonwealth, which it is so high an honor to represent. I cannot close without expressing my appreciation of the fact that this call comes from those who have known me for sixteen years—my friends and neighbors, among whom I have gone in and out in daily work, and to whom I owe everything that I have been able to do in public service. With genuine feelings of deepest gratitude towards you gentlemen, and with high appreciation of the confidence you repose in me, and the honor you have conferred upon me by your letter, I am, Very sincerely yours. Denver.—For the enlightenment of housewives, Mrs. Martha Shute, secretary of the State Horticultural Board, is preparing a beet sugar exhibit for the horticultural department in the Capitol, the first of its kind displayed there. The beet sugar factories to which she sent requests for samples have responded generously. The Great Western Sugar Company has shipped from its factories around the state twelve boxes of canned fruit preserves made with beet sugar, in addition to 100 pounds of sugar.

Allen of the District Court Thursday granted a temporary injunction against the grocers' trust upon the affidavits and arguments of the attorney general of Colorado. In announcing his decision Judge Allen said that "if the retail grocers of the state have no more moral courage in conducting their business than to be made the catspaw for raking the chestnuts from the fire for the manufacturers of food products by combining to maintain uniform prices, and at public expense, the courts would do them a service to put them out of business." With no intention of prejudging the defendants, he stated that in his opinion Colorado, held in the toils of a gigantic food trust, needed some aid from her untrammeled courts of "good conscience." Exceptions were made to the court's findings on behalf of all the defendants. The judge went on to say: The judge went on to say: "In the great commercial centers of the country there have been established manufactories and there have been established producers and vendors of the various manufactured and produced articles of the country, and they involve the necessities of life, and it has come to be that each of those great manufactories or producing institutions, sometimes by them selves, and sometimes by a similar combination, as this, among themselves. They manufacture the goods, they produce the article, and at that commercial center, in their own office, they establish the price that the public shall pay for the article they manufacture and produce, and it appears, and nothing more clearly demonstrates it than the evidence in this case, that they practically accomplish their purpose, to-wit, to fix a price upon the manufactured article, irrespective of the question of supply and demand, and on a basis simply of profit to them; and it appears, as is demonstrated by the testimony in this case, that they succeed in sending their manufactured and produced articles throughout the country, among the people, and counsel the people to purchase their commodities and pay the price which they arbitrarily fix at these great commercial centers. And how is it done? By and through the combinations, the associations of these innocent grocers in the city of Denver and other commercial centers of the state of Colorado, and every other commercial center throughout the United States, combining together and serving as the agencies of these great trusts, as the people term them and condemn them—as the purchasing agents, the selling agents, the middle men between the manufacturers and the producers who fix the price, and the people who are obliged to purchase the articles—the necessities of life and pay the price which the manufacturer or the producer fixes upon the same. "Hence, I say, these defendants do not realize the part that they perform in building up this great trust in this country; that it affects all the people of this country, and which all the people, without exception, criticise and condemn, when transacting business in such a way as to do an injustice to the innocent, unofficiating and non-part-taking public." "There is sufficient in this case, appearing from the evidence, to justify this court in granting this temporary injunction, generally, as prayed for in this complaint, if I understand the prayer. There are possibly some individuals made defendants in the case that may not appear to have done such things that would entitle the plaintiff to the writ against them; but the court is satisfied that the members of these associations ought to be enjoined from transacting the business in the manner admitted as appears from the testimony in this case." Denver Auditorium Denver.—"I have made a study of auditoriums in America and from observations I have made. I believe that the Democratic national convention will meet in the finest convention hall next July in which any assemblage of national delegates ever gathered in the history of America." This is the declaration of Building Inspector Robert Willison, who stated that the auditorium to harbor the Democratic convention will be completed in May. "From a builder's and architect's viewpoint," said Willison, "the auditorium is two-thirds finished. Out of 1,500 tons of steel structure 1,000 tons is in place and about two-thirds of the brick has been laid. The main hall of the auditorium will seat exactly 11,500 people. This means that the hall will be one of the largest and finest in the country. Record-Making Special Train. Denver.—In order to convey Dr. Gerald Webb of Colorado Springs to the bedside of her nephew, who is critically ill, Mrs. Thomas F. Walsh ordered a special train run between Colorado Springs and Kansas City. The train loft the Springs Wednesday night at about 11 o'clock, arriving at its destination Thursday at 3:10 p. m., Kansas City time. It was a record-breaking run, the distance being covered in 15 hours and 10 minutes, 3 hours and 40 minutes better than the fastest trains plying between those points. The special had right of way over everything on the road. Its trip was not disturbed at any point and a speed of eighty or ninety miles an hour was made at times. An average speed of forty-two miles an hour was made. A special Thursday night announced slight improvement of the patient, but little hope of recovery. To Remodel Brown Palace Colorado Springs.-The Brown Palace hotel in Denver is to be remodeled and made thoroughly modern by the executors of the Stratton estate, according to a statement made by William Lloyd. The estimates on the cost of the work are now being prepared and as soon as these are completed. Mr. Lloyd says, the contract will be let. It is understood the cost will be somewhere between $150,000 and $200,000 and the work will be rushed so that the hotel will be ready for the Democratic national convention. Hans Tooted. "But, Gretchen," protested the dignified mistress, "you should be more dignified and not call your flance 'tootsie.'" "But he has a 'tootsie,'" replied Gretchen, blushing all the way up to the roots of her flaxen hair. "How do you make him a 'tootsie?'" "Why, you see, ma'am, he blays der biggest horn in der German band."—Home Magazine. There is one through road to heaven; it is by the doors of needy humanity. The Light of Genius For more than a week the school teacher had been giving lessons on the dog, says a writer in the Philadelphia Record, and so when the inspector came down and chose that very subject there seemed every prospect of the class distinguishing itself. Things were progressing quite satisfactorily, and the teacher was congratulating himself on the trouble he had taken when, alas! a question was asked which made him tremble for the reputation of his scholars. "Why does a dog hang his tongue out of his mouth?" asked the inspector. "Yes, my boy?" he said to a bright-looking lad who held up his hand, while the light of genius was in his eye. "To balance his tail!" shouted the bright boy. All Arranged. "We'd better elope about 2 in the morning. I'll bring the motor to the next corner, and then——" "Oh, couldn't you make it a little earlier, dear? Papa and mamma do so want to see us off, and I don't like to keep them up so late."—Home Magazine. His Remedy. A pompous city official upon reaching his home one evening found the street blockaded and a heap of earth piled against his doorstep. Observing a workman wielding his shovel in a nearby ditch, he accosted a passing policeman and complained that the laborer was trespassing upon private property. "What do yez mean by 'trowin' dirt on 'h' gintleman's steps?" demanded the officer, pompously. "Sure, an' there's noo other place t' trow it, d' ye mind!" replied the workman, indifferently. "Well, then, in that case yez had better dig another hole and trow it there." A feeling heart enriches the world much more than a full hand without it. VIANI LOCAL OFFICE.

Unusual inten- place it near the c er might be attracted City, at least, the su- not be accommodated time bearing against could do. But there Denver failed to land the national Republican convention, though she pledged $100,000 to defray the expenses of it. Kansas City too fell by the wayside. Chicago took the plum with one long swipe. There were reasons, of course. Unusual interest in the next convention shaped the desire to place it near the center of population and where the greatest number might be attracted and the most extensive facilities provided. In the case of Kansas City, at least, the suspicion was aroused that colored delegates might not be accommodated at hotels and this suspicion might have had some bearing against Denver. St. Louis once showed what Missouri would do. But there will be no fear of this in Chicago. JOHN DOE. DR. it made up. The ye who endeavors to be best.

Bullets were not of the Brownsville riot.ief of ordiance, concussed not fired from Kraga was tucked away in to light, however, some of our great political incident." This exertion of things, should and tape that has been attachment brought against twenty-fifth Infantry wasifiable. medial injury that has action of one man over of the fate of hum was his own high repose and one years the of falsehood, prejudiced men are vindicated one of these men he fusus, the French army, cannot come the it should the United Association which it do venture upon which are applied only late, would-be victims. A Washington dispatch of December seventh, says: "The expert analysis of the bullets submitted as evidence in the Brownsville investigation has been completed and the findings sent to the Senate Committee on military affairs. It is understood that the analysis shows that the bullets were not of the variety in use by the army at the time of the Brownsville riot. General Crozier, chief of ordiance, concludes in the belief that the bullets submitted were not fired from Krag-Jorgensen rifles. This brief dispatch was tucked away in obscure corners of the daily press, but it brings to light, however, the probable outcome of that little affair which some of our great politicians undoubtedly desire to look upon as a "closed incident." This expert analysis, in the logical and common sense order of things, should be the final word in the long drawn out line of red tape that has been unwound in the endeavor to make the terrible indictment brought against the almost helpless black soldiers of the Twenty-fifth Infantry by the President of the United States seem justifiable. But think of the irremedial injury that has been done these men by the hasty and heedless action of one man who made his sole, uninformed opinion the arbiter of the fate of hundreds of men whose honor was as dear to them as was his own high reputation dear to their relentless judge. After one and one years the inevitable truth filters through the dark mass of falsehood, prejudice, presumption and persecution, and long dishonored men are vindicated so far as tardy words can vindicate. But each one of these men has drank of the dregs of which Capt. Alfred Dreyfus, the French army officer, was compelled to drink, but to them will not, cannot come the remedy of restored honor which came to him. But should the United States Senate give to this report the important consideration which it deserves, perhaps no future national executive will ever venture upon wholesale indictments on the strength of prejudices which are applied only on account of the race or class of the unfortunate, would-be victims. TRUTH for grander word or the word—Truth. e embraces everything everything that God definite meaning it is to that which is wri just. No matter how or it is but the ba readjusts and bring There is no greater or grander word or expression known to men or to angels than this one word—Truth. In its larger sense it embraces everything that is, known or unknown, for it stands for everything that God has created and called good. But in its more definite meaning it represents that which is right and just as opposed to that which is wrong. And truth is always just. No matter how it may hurt or injure, nevertheless it is right, for it is but the balance which weighs up against a past wrong, and readjusts and brings to a righteous level a surface that has been thrown out of its natural condition. The wrongs, the sins which men commit are many, but there is never one that must not at some time, in some way, be redeemed. A lie is not only an abomination, but it is a fictitious creation of human imagination, and therefore an outcast of nature. It must die; because there is no true litein it. Although its fate, its final end is certain, it is best that a lie be nailed to the cross at once. The sooner it is dead, the less it will baffle truth. And the lie is the resort of cowards. It springs from minds that know that they are in the wrong and which hope for temporary gain without earning or deserving gain. Men grow in strength and power only as they are willing and able to face and adide by the truth. Look into the character of the man who flees from or seeks to oppose the truth, and you find one who at heart is a moral coward. He is not capable of great deeds and his life and efforts are worthless to humanity and to himself. The greatest freedom, and therefore the greatest happiness, that a man can enjoy, is to know that he has not attempted to turn his feeble strength against what is true and right, which is the creation and the might of God. Many men follow false standards, imagining that they are in the right, and though, for a time, they may seem to prosper, their final downfall and that of their standard is inevitable, for while falsehood may endure while it is not understood. "thruth crushed to earth shall rise again"! Then seek the truth bravely; bow to the truth with unshaken faith; honor strive for and exalt the truth for nothing else on earth is worth while.

Situated in a magnificent five story building at the corner of sixteenth and Lawrence streets, at the very hub and heart of the business of the city, where the great arteries of commerce seem to centre and throb with life, and the bustling lines of the Tramway intersect each other with their crowded cars of living freight, it is no wonder that this store enjoys a popularity and a patronage second to none in the city. The store building formerly occupied by the May Clothing Co., seems by its abundant glass windows letting in the light to invite inspection of the elegant furniture within. While the catchy legend—"You furnish the girl, we furnish the house." which adorns the 16th street side, decides many cautious persons of limited means to make purchases in "the store for thrifty people. This popular well stocked store has made wonderful strides during the past few years. Starting on Larimer street in a basement room 25 feet front by 125 feet in depth, the business soon outgrew its cramped quarters and was removed to Arapahoe street, where for a number of years it continued to flourish and expand until it moved into its present superb home. It is in fact as well as in name "the store for thrifty people." For any one on easy terms might have a home nicely furnished by paying "little at a time."

Jeterson Ave. St. Louis No. writes: "It affords me much pleasure to announce that I have given your medicine at various times for several years, and that it has given entire satisfaction, not only in my own family, but also that of others of my friends. And would cheerfully recommend the use of Peruna, as I certainly do endorse your medicine." Catarr of Head, Nose, Throat. Mr. Charles Levy, 80 Allen St., New York, N. Y., writes; "I am very glad to tell you of the cures wrought by Peruna in my family. "My son, aged seven, who had catarrh of the nose, was cured by two bottles of Peruna, and I had catarrh of the head, nose, throat and ears. One bottle of Peruna cured me." Pe-ru-na Tablets:—Some people prefer tablets, rather than medicine in a fluid form. Such people can obtain Peruna Tablets, which represent the solid medicinal ingredients of Peruna. Ask Your Druggist for Free Peruna Almanac for 1908. His Advice "Well, Uncle Josh," said the fond mother after her daughter had trilled a few times for the purpose of impressing their relative from the country, "what do you think of it? Would you advise me to have Daisy's voice cultivated?" "Yes, I guess I would. Git it cultivated a while and then have it seeded down. Gosh, but you people seem to be warm-blooded here. I'd freeze if I had to depend on them steam pipes for heat." With a smooth iron and Defiance Starch, you can launder your shirt-walst 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. DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS FOR ALL KIDNEY DISEASES OR RHEUMATISM BRIGHTS DISEASE DIABETES. BACKHAM 1375 "Guarantee" Heiskell's Ointment Cures Skin Diseases For half a century Heiskell's Ointment has seen used in all cases of skin disease with most grafting results. Many have become entirely cured who had suffered untold pain and annoyance for years. One man in New Baltimore, Pa., writes that it cured him when he was raw all over. A lady in Philadelphia cured a case of tetter of six years' standing in fourteen days, while a man in Allentown, Pa., cured his case of eczema that had troubled him for eleven years with less than two boxes of the ointment. These and hundreds of others have found that Heiskell's Ointment is worth more than its weight in gold. Being a purely vegetable preparation, Heiskell's Ointment soothes and heals where others fail. It allays the itching and burning common to all skin disease, and all yield quickly to its magic influence. There are many varieties of skin diseases with confusing titles, but they are all susceptible to one and the same cure—Heelskell's Ointment. No one need suffer long if afflicted with any skin disease not of a constitutional character if they will apply this remedy. This includes such skin diseases as erysipelas, prurigo coagulans, ringworm, blackheads, psoriasis, pimples, freckles. In some cases it is necessary to give some constitutional treatment to be toned to healthy action and the blood and all the secretions purified. In all cases of skin disease cures are hastened by the use of Heelskell's Ointment before up to 2 weeks of simentation and in cleaning up the blood and liver with Heelskell's Blood and Liver Pills. Heelskell's Medicinal and Tollet Soap contains in a modified form the medicinal properties of Heelskell's Ointment. It is used as rash, eruptions and abrasions. It cleans perfectly, and in the bath is a great luxury. Heelskell's Blood and Liver Pills contain the active medicinal principles of various roots and herbs approved in medical practice. Remember that there is no case to obstate that Heelskell's Ointment will not cure it. The skin of 25c a bottle, Soap at 20c a sake, Pills at 25c a bottle.

There are now thirty-two dwellings under construction at Fort Morgan, varying in cost from $1,000 to $10,000 with few under the $3,000 mark. A number of public buildings are also going up. J. J. Dean, a farmer living twelve miles southeast of Greeley, was killed on the 2nd inst. by being thrown from a load of coal, one wheel passing over his body. He lived only two hours after the accident.

Miss Marie Cahill, the actress, chose the chorus girls for her new play, "Marrying Mary," by measurement. The Bertillon system was employed. "By this excellent system of measurement," said Miss Cahill the other day, "one gets, in a chorus girl, the real thing. Mirage is avoided. You know what a mirage is? Quite sure? Well, at any rate, I'll point out its meaning to you with a story. "A boy looked up from his book one night. "Father,' he said, 'what is a milage? "The father answered gibly from behind his paper: "The union of a man and woman till death or the law them do part." "But,' said the boy, 'that's marriage, ain't it?" "Same thing, sonny; it's the same thing,' replied the father. 'A man imagines he sees wonders and delights where there is nothing. Fight shy of 'em both, my boy.'" Served Accordingly At a men's cafe one night a young American—a barber—fell in with an Englishman. The latter was berating the Yankees for doing all manner of business in their shops and not following the better English plan of sticking to one branch. The next day he swaggered into the barber shop to be shaved. The barber gave his face an extra good soaping and left him, at the same time seating himself to read. The Englishman kept quiet for a few minutes, when, seeing his attendant reading, he blurted out: "Why don't you shave me, sir?" "You will have to go up the street for your shave," quietly replied the barber. "We only lather here." Mean Revenge. A man had been very badly treated by the proprietors of a boarding house, and when in temporary financial difficulties had been forced to leave. Some time later, smiled upon by fickle fortune, he achieved success and prosperity as a popular dentist, and soon found means to revenge his former landlady's slight. The method he adopted was simple but extremely effective, quite ruining the business of his enemy. Directly opposite the boarding house he opened his new dental establishment, and upon the largest window in bold letters appeared the following notice: "Steel-pointed boarding house teeth a specialty!" Truthful Boast. A party of traveling men in a Chicago hotel were one day boasting of the business done by their respective firms, when one of the drummers said: "No house in the country, I am proud to say, has more men and women pushing its line of goods than mine." "What do you sell?" he was asked. "Baby carriages!" shouted the drummer, as he fled from the room.—Success Magazine. BOTH GAINED Man and Wife Fatten on Grape-Nuts. The notion that meat is necessary for real strength and the foundation of solid flesh is no longer as prevalent as formerly. Excessive meat eaters are usually sluggish a part of the time because they are not able to fully digest their food, and the undigested portion is changed into what is practically a kind of poison that acts upon the blood and nerves, thus getting all through the system. "I was a heavy meat eater," writes an Ills. man, "and up to two years ago, was in very poor health. I suffered with indigestion so that I only weighed 95 pounds. "Then I heard about Grape-Nuts and decided to try it. My wife laughed at me at first but when I gained to 125 pounds and felt so fine, she thought she would eat Grape-Nuts too. "Now she is fat and well and has gained 40 pounds. We never have indigestion any more and seldom feel the desire for meat. A neighbor of ours, 68 years old, was troubled with indigestion for years; was a heavy meat eater, and now since he has been eating Grape-Nuts regularly, he says he is well and never has indigestion. I could name a lot of persons who have really been cured of indigestion by changing from a heavy meat diet to Grape-Nuts." "There's a Reason." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

Prince Dabro, the young Egyptian who has come to America to study the cotton industry, said in New York the other day: "While we produce superb cotton in Egypt, the industry is not regulated there with such wisdom as you employ. Clever, indeed, is the conduct of your American cotton industry—as clever as the conduct of a young Pennsylvania ungraduate whom I heard about the other day. "This young man sat in a Louis Quinze drawing-room in conversation with a beautiful girl. The girl, looking pensively into the fire, said: "The man I marry must be both brave and clever." "Well,' said the young man, 'when we were skating on the Wissahickon, and came to the dangerous spot and broke through, I saved your life, didn't I? "She smiled at him roguishly. "That was brave,' she said, 'but it was not clever, was it?' "Yes," said he, 'it was. I led you to the dangerous spot on purpose.' "She threw her arms about him, murmuring: "I've done!" ECZEMA COVERED BABY. Worst Case Doctors Ever Saw—Suffered Untold Misery—Perfect Cure by Cuticura Remedies. "My son, who is now twenty-two years of age, when four months old began to have eczema on his face, spreading quite rapidly until he was nearly covered. The eczema was something terrible, and the doctors said it was the worst case they ever saw. At times his whole body and face were covered, all but his feet. I used many kinds of patent medicines, to no avail. A friend teased me to try Cuticura. At last I decided to try Cuticura when my boy was three years and four months old, having had eczema all that time and suffering untold misery. I began to use all three of the Cuticura Remedies. He was better in two months; in six months he was well. Mrs. R. L. Risley, Piermont, N. H., Oct. 24, 1905." RATHER A POINTED REBUKE. Minister's Amendment to Usual Grace Fitted Circumstances. A Pennsylvania divine formed one of a house-party in Philadelphia where the younger son, in accordance with what the clergyman observed to be his constant habit, as soon as he had seated himself at breakfast immediately possessed himself of a large slice of bread, the quality of which he proceeded to test by a liberal mouthful. The minister, a stickler in such matters of propriety, gazed blandly at him for a moment or so; then he folded his hands and closed his eyes in preparation for grace. "For what we are about to receive," he intoned with painful emphasis, "and for what our young friend has already received, Lord, make us truly thankful."—Harper's Weekly. Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the deased portion of the ear. There is only one way to deadness caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.

Truth and Quality Mr. Jerome Evidently Was Aware of His Wife's Culinary Ability. Some weeks ago the wife of Judge Blank, of Pacific avenue, lost her cook, and since she had no other resource she rolled up her sleeves and for a week provided such meals as the judge had not enjoyed since those happy days when the Blanks did not keep a cook. The judge's delight was so great that by way of appreciative acknowledgment he presented Mrs. Blank with a beautiful ermine cloak. Quite naturally, the incident was a good deal noised about among the social acquaintances of the Blanks and a spirit of envious emulation was developed in certain quarters. It was in this mood that Mrs. Jerome recited the story to her husband. "What do I get, Jerry?" she asked, "If I will do the cooking for a week?" "Well," said Mr. Jerome, "at the end of a week, my dear, you'll get one of those long crepe veils."—San Francisco Argonaut. appeal to the Well-Informed in every walk of life and are essential to permanent success and creditable standing. Accordingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is the only remedy of known value, but one of many reasons why it is the best of personal and family laxatives is the fact that it cleanses, sweetens and relieves the internal organs on which it acts without any debilitating after effects and without having to increase the quantity from time to time. It acts pleasantly and naturally and truly as a laxative, and its component parts are known to and approved by physicians, as it is free from all objectionable substances. To get its beneficial effects always purchase the genuine manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale by all leading druggists. How He Did It.

H. H. A SMART TRAVELLING COSTUME We have heard since the summer season a great deal about the "War on Sleeves," but if this war still continues it must be fought with the winds, for there are no longer two sides to the question; short sleeves—except for evening wear—are now, practically, non-existent, and for one three-quarter-length sleeve we find three full-lengths. For afternoon costumes, to be worn on occasions of ceremony, we find the three-quarter-length sleeve very much used, but all the coat sleeves are long or are worn over blouses, or bodices, which show the tight sleeve reaching to—or over —the wrist. Most women will find the long, rucked-up sleeves very becoming; and some dressmakers insist on mounting them on a tight lining, but my personal taste is all against this plan. The sleeve will wear much better if lined, but then it will never look so smart and pretty as the sleeves which are made of supple material and allowed to push up against the arm, like a mousquetaire glove. In point d'Esprit—for evening wear—these sleeves are delightful, and the upper part, from the shoulder to just above the elbow, should be comparatively full, so that the net may fall in soft folds. From elbow to wrist the sleeve should then be gathered on the inner seam and fastened with tiny hooks and eyes—the piece extending over the wrist being shaped like a small bell and allowed to reach the knuckles. A black taffetas blouse with sleeves of this order is a delightful and most useful garment, especially if the open fronts be braided with fine black braids and edged with mink, the extreme edge of the sleeve, that part which extends over the wrists, being trimmed in the same way. Such a blouse is ideal for wearing with a sleeveless coat of black chiffon cloth or of black mirror velvet. "Fashion" has always been—and ever will remain—a mysterious and LATEST IN S The coat and skirt costumes are the universal wear of the moment, and will be for the next few months, and hence the shirtwaist is an indispensable part of every woman's wardrobe. The trio of waists illustrated above are made after the same pattern, but are of different patterned cloths. The first is of a pretty striped flannel cloth, nonshrinkable and durable, while the second is of a more elegant material, the new and beautiful shadow-striped velveteen. The third waist is made of a check flannel of finest texture. Some of the new striped effects are particularly smart and adapted to shirtwaist uncertain personage. She takes de light in strong contrasts, and is just now giving us one in this very affair of sleeves. In the day-time we are to cover our arms completely, and at night we are not to cover them at all! Once again—and one cannot but rejoice at the fact—it is the fashion to permit the upper part of the arm to be seen in all its beauty. It is a well-known fact that the average woman does not possess a really perfect forearm, but that in many cases the upper part of the arm is a thing of distinct beauty; it is generally white and plump, and nothing can be more graceful than the shoulder outline, when we are permitted to see it. Many of the latest models of evening gowns coming from the best Paris dressmakers show bodices with practically no sleeves. They have beautiful shoulder straps of passementerie or jeweled lace and floating lengths of transparent materials are permitted to outline the arm, the ends tied in loose bows or hanging straight down in wing fashion. The bodices of these dresses are very often of great apparent simplicity; folds of supple material drawn slightly across the bust and fastened, invisibly, at the side seam, or equally supple folds arranged in cross-over fashion and caught down at the waist by a handsome clasp or buckle. With evening bodices of this order the embroideries on the skirts are gorgeous beyond description, but then the skirts themselves are often cut in Princess style and are severe in outline. On all the finest embroideries—and indeed, braidings—of this season we find numbers of small tassels introduced, tassels to imitate the petals of a large flower or to hang in frankly impossible bunches from the center of a cluster of leaves. Tassels—and of the most beautiful kind—are enjoying a field days this winter, and on the newest evening wraps they are absolutely ubiquitous. HIRT WAISTS wear, as for example soft alternating shades of blue and green, or again a white striped with black and nattier blue. The shirtwaists shown above are made with a collar band, so that any kind of worewear can be used with them, while collars to match can be made and are quite the proper thing.
