THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY ANARCHY And the Negro's Opportunity. The American Negro, His Habits, Taste, Desires, Ambitions, Etc., is a Product of American Civilization. VOL. XIV, ANAL And the Negro's Opportunity. The Taste, Desires, Ambition American C From time to time in our discussing the phase of the so-called race problem we have taken occasion to remark that the white man's position assumed towards the race was due largely to being unacquainted with the actual progress and work of the Negro notwithstanding many have been the excuse for the way the Negro is treated in this country, yet there has nothing been said to change our opinion, rather there is much to confirm and strengthen it. Somewhere, he have heard it said that an explanation was an apology. But in a matter of this kind to our mind explanations are in order, and can hardly be constructed as an apology. The sum and substance of some of the writers' views against the Negro, the Negroes are guilty of heinous offenses against white ladies, that no Negro society, club, religious associations or organization has condemned the awful crime for which many Negroes have been lynched, burned, flayed and bonetucked away in sacred places as sacred relics of crime that finds no jurisdiction in Christian ethics. We will not presume to question the truth of this inference. The white man's civilization in America stands for itself. The American Negro, his habits, tastes, desires, ambitions etc., is a product of the same civilization. If he retains, still, some of the instinct and practices peculiar for barbarians, after the two hundred and fifty years of American slavery with its enforce immorality, and the forty-two years of quasi freedom, no one, the Negro least of all, should be blamed if he absolves some of the elements of American civilization that has nurtured him. In the great problem of making citizens for a republic, the Negro is not included. Isolated in other religious life, enjoying a back door acquaintance with the political life of the nation, the Negro is to be congratulated, that in less than forty-two years he has made preceptible advancement. In all these forty-two years, the same patient, effort has characterized the Negro, as during the darkest years of slavery. He has been making character. The Negro has been, and is laying a foundation for future racial development. The charge made by some that the rapist have failed to be condemned by the Negro press, the pulpil, for the alleged crime, is absolutely without foundation. In every Negro church, lodge, school, club and society, this crime, along with all others, has been condemned, but the Negroes of this country do not believe that a man charged with a crime is always guilty. They believe that burning is murder, and lynching is anarchy as red-handed as the miserable culprit who sent the assassin bullet through the body of an innocent man. The Negro is not an anarchist, and has never been against the law. His prayer since the day the martyred Lincoln gave him freedom, has been for the perpetuation of law and order. On the other hand, he has been the outraged victim of anarchy. The history of the Negro, for these forty-two years, has been a protest against anarchy, and the American mob. The white press places much stress on the golden opportunity, the best class of Negroes have to rise up in their might and rebuke the criminal Negro. All efforts on the part of the best class of Negroes to control and regenerate the tough element of the race is greatly hampered by the peculiar position of the white press of the country. The work of the best class of Negroes, their social, moral and financial improvement in many instances pass the eagle eye of the white reporter of the white paper, while extended space is given to chronic, escapades of police court criminals; by those who croke like ravens over the Negroes. The white papers have never told the world that the white man's prejudice against the black man's skin keep Negro boys out of machine shops, where they might learn a trade and at the same time find employment. The Negro haters should remind the intelligent and wealthy, best class of white people that there is mockery in their hugging the phantom of religion and at the same time treating human beings with as much cruelty as are heaped upon the Negroes in many sections of the country. In the face of the black wall of American prejudice, the Negro is meeting with continued opposition at DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1907. every turn, it is surprising that mere heinous crimes has not been charged to him. We beg the white papers to carefully investigate the best class of Negroes; find out more about their homes, about the various business enterprises, before they act in judgment upon the race as a whole.—True Reformer. SENATOR FORAKER The Philadelphia Tribune in its last week's issue, contributed a lengthy editorial on a number of presidential candidates for the Republican nomination. It suggests the name of Hon. Joeeph Benson Foraker as the most ideal man for the place. Speaking of him it says: Of the list of candidates named, none to our minds is more prophetic of success than the Joseph Benson Foraker. He would make an ideal candidate. There is none in the list of candidates named, who is more conversant with the needs of the country than he is, since he has been a member of the Senate, he has taken an important part in the discussion of every important question that has come before the Senate, and within recent years there has been no law passed by that body that does not in a marked degree, bears the impress of his facile mind. For breadth of character or national matters that effect the nation's interests at home or abroad, he has no superior. In discussing the many important matters that press upon the attention of the Senate during its sessions, he surprises his most intimate friends by the depth of his researches. He stands for all those qualities of mind that unfortunately the present executive lacks. He has the confidence not only of the people of Ohio, but he has the unlimited support of the business interest of the nation. Having entered the ranks of a private in the late Civil War, he has always been loyal to his comrades in-arms. He has the courage of his conviction, and dares to speak in defense of right aid justice. He incurred the enmity of Mr. Roosevelt on account of his frank statements that the President was wrong in several measures he desired the Senate to pass. If Senator Foraker becomes the nominee of the Republican convention, the party will have a winning candidate, who will sweep the country, and who will direct the destiny of the nation on safe lines. It is mooted, that should Senator Foraker secure the nomination, that the present administration would endeavor to encompass his defeat. The friends of the Senator have no fear on that score, it will only make them more painstaking in the conduct of his cavass. RACE NEWS Gathered from Various Sources. Walter L. Cohen, receiver of the United States Land Office at New Orleans, a Roosevelt office holder, has declared for Senator Foraker for the presidential nomination. Who was ever braver, and where? Cleveland, Ohio, Dec. 17.—Because he pulled from his pocket a photograph of a beautiful white woman, Charles Hearst, a colored teamster, whose home was in Detroit until two weeks ago, was shot and killed in a restaurant today. A white man fired the bullet, escaping in the crowd before he could be apprehended. The murder was a very cold-blooded one, and indignation against the murderer is pronounced. Muskogee, Okla., Dec. 25. Negroes are rapidly leaving Henrietta, where the lynching of James Gardon, a Negro, occurred yesterday, following the murder of Albert Bates, a prominent white business man. The blacks were given notive to get out of the town within 24 hours. A second attack was made on the jail early this morning by a mob of citizens who sought a one-eyed Negro named Bill Smith, charged with inviting Gordon to commit the crime. Sheriff Robertson, however, spirited the man away from the mob and took him to Okmulgee. Jim Johnson, a Negro who gave Gardon a rifle, was also taken to Okmulgee. Philadelphia, Pa., Dec. 12. "The gravity of the Negro problem is not confined to the United States. England faces it in her colonies. The whole world faces it. The problem of the future of that race is one of the greatest and gravest confronting civilization." Sir John Rogers, governor of the English Coast colonies, southwestern Africa, expressed these views in an address at the Berean Presbyterian church. "In Africa," he said, "the Negroes outnumber the whites in proportion of 5,555, 555 to 1,000, and our greatest trouble is to induce them to work with their hands in the trades. The hope of the Negro race lies in manual labor. Colorado Springs, Dec. 23.—According to information received here today, Mrs. Van Lakum, the wealthy Manitou woman whose conduct with a Negro hotel waiter in Manitou and afterward in Los Angeles was the subject of comment, has renounced her dusky companion and returned to her former home at Waterloo, Iowa, where she has a brother who is a wealthy banker. A few days ago the woman transferred her Manitou property to her brother for fear she might be induced to deed it to George W. Seay, for whom she recently confessed a mad infatuation. According to her own statement, she gave the Negro more than $100,000 last fall. A few weeks ago the Los Angelas authorities took the woman's three children away from her temporarily, returning them to her only on the promise that she leave Seay. NEGROES FLEEING --- Norman, Okla., December 15. Threats of murder have been made against members of a Negro colony 13 miles north of Norman, on a 200 acre ranch owned by Dowd & Cook, of this city, if they did not leave and shots have been fired into their homes. Notices have been sent by a "Ku-Klux Klan," who style themselves "The Community," and are causing consternation in the colony. Anticipating a night attack by the whites, the Negroes have armed themselves to repel the expected attack. Notices have been posted on the Negroes' cabins and repeatedly left in their mail boxes say that all the Negroes' in the community will be given until December 28 to gather their crops and leave the country. Norman has been without Negroes since the opening of Oklahoma. It is an unwritten law that Negroes do not stay in this town after the sun goes down. A few have tried to disregard the rule, but have gone from here when the final word of warning was given. TRAGEDY OF COLOR Whatever America has to show in heroic living today. I doubt if she can show anything finer than the quality of the resolve, the steadfast effort hundreds of black and colored men are making today to live, blamelessly, honorably and patiently, getting for themselves what scraps of refinement, learning and beauty they may, keeping their hold on a civilization they are grudged and denied. They do it not for themselves only but for all their race. Each educated colored man is an ambassador to civilization. They know they have a a handicap, that they are not exceptionally brilliant or clever people. Yet every such man stands, one likes to think, aware of his representatives and vicarious character, fighting against foul imaginations, misrepresentations, injustice, insult and the naive unspeakable meanness of base antagonists. Every one of them who keeps decent and honorable does a little to beat that opposition down. NO. 11. But the patience the Negro needs! He may not even look contempt. He must admit superiority in those whose daily conduct to him is the clearest evidence of moral inferiority. We sympathetic whites, indeed, may claim honor for him; if he is wise he will be silent under our advocacy. He must go to and fro self-controlled, bereft of all the equalities that the great flag of America proclaims—that flag for whose united empire his people fought and died, giving place and precedence to the strangers who pour in to share its benefience, strangers ignorant even of its tongue. That he must do—and wait. The Welsh, the Irish, the Poles, the white south, the indefatigable Jews may cherish grievances and rail aloud. They may be historical, revengeful, threatening, and perverse; their wrongs excuse them. For him there is no excuse. And all the races upon earth, which has suffered such wrongs as this Negro blood that is still imputed to him as a sin? These people who disdain him, who have no sense of reparation toward him, have sinned against him beyond all measure.—Harper's Weekly. WANT TRAINING SCHOOL Jackson, Miss., Dec. 14.—S. J. Farrar, a well known Negro educator, who for the past fifteen years has been engaged in public school work in the delta, has issued an appeal to the members of the Mississippi Legislature to establish an industrial training for Negroes in that section of the state. He says the Negroes want training, not social equality. Farrar calls the attention of the lawmakers to the fact that the bulk of the Negro population in Mississippi is in the delta and it is in that section where they are employed almost exclusively at agricultural pursuits. He therefore, believes that they should be given early training for farm work, since it is to their vocation that a majority of the members of the race must look for a livelihood. The State Negro Industrial School at Rodney, Farrar says, is not accessible for many boys who work in the delta. An Unprogressive Institution. An Unprogressive Institution. One of the most successful clergymen in Philadelphia," remarked a college professor, "was proud of the fact that he was always addressed as plain 'minister.' and that he possessed no degree which entitled him to the honorable name of 'doctor.' "An elder entered the clergyman's study one morning and handed him a marked paper. The item stated that the minister had been honored by his old college and that now he could attach D. D. to his name. "Well, well,' muttered the pastor, not without feeling, for he loved his college, 'my old school is a little behind the times, and still believes in capital punishment.'"

Goldfield, Nev.—To carry the fight into the Federal Court will be the next move of the Goldfield Mine Owners' Association. A suit will be filed in the Circuit Court of the district of Nevada, asking not only for an injunction against picketing and interference but for the final dissolution of the Goldfield Miners' union. The suit is to be filed by the Goldfield Consolidated Mines Company against the Goldfield miners, the Western Federation of Miners, Charles A. McKinnon, president of the local union, and nineteen others officers of the same. The complaint sets forth the alleged vast extent and richness of the mining interests involved and the large number of persons holding shares in the mines in various states and territories; alleges that the Goldfield Miners' union and the Western Federation of Miners are voluntarily unincorporated associations, and that it is claimed to be a part of another large organization known as the Industrial Workers of the World, also unincorporated, which has the same principles and seeks to accomplish its results by the same unlawful methods, and has in its ranks as members of these associations, not only the miners of the Goldfield district, but other laborers, such as waiters, clerks, cooks, barbers and barkeepers. It is further alleged that the Western Federation of Miners is organized for the destruction of property and creating "endless strife, disorder, bloodshed and rioting." The Goldfield union is charged in the bill with "intimidation" and of being guilty of "wanton destruction of property, murder of innocent citizens, lawlessness and anarchy to such an extent that it has instituted a reign of terror in the Goldfield district." It is further alleged that the Goldfield union is a "criminal society." The court is asked to cite the defendants before it to answer the allegations of the complaint and to issue a writ of injunction restraining the defendants from obstructing the business of the Consolidated Mines Company by threat, intimidation or picketing. An injunction against boycott is further asked for. The court is asked to enjoin the Goldfield union from holding any more meetings. Watchers or examiners are asked for, with full authority to enter on the property of the complainant and to carry out the orders of the court and to arrest any person violating them. Finally, it is petitioned that the injunctions be made permanent and that the Goldfield Miners' union be abated and forever dissolved as nuisance and perpetually enjoined from any further meetings or action of whatever kind or nature. The complaint is signed by George Wingfield, vice president of the Consolidated Mines Company. One effect of the filing of this, it is said, may be to induce President Roosevelt to order a portion of the troops now in Goldfield to remain on the ground to assist in the enforcement of the mandates of the Federal Court if necessary. Flying Machine Bids. Washington.—Far more severe than any other nation is the United States in its requirements in the matter of the flying machine of heavier-than-air type as set out in the specifications issued by General Allen, chief signal officer, upon which inventors are invited to submit bids to be opened February 1st next. The machine must carry two persons of the combined weight of 350 pounds and sufficient fuel for a flight of 125 miles. It must be designed for a speed of at least forty miles an hour, but a machine will be acceptable of only 36 miles an hour, although only sixty per cent. of the contract price will be paid therefor. The hardest requirement to meet, and one never heretofore realized by any inventor, is that "before acceptance a trial endurance flight will be required of at least one hour, during which time the flying machine must remain constantly in the air without landing. Unless the bidders are also the makers of the flying machines, they must state the name and place of the maker. They must also supply complete scale drawings of their devices, and they are notified that it is desirable that the machine shall be capable of being easily and quickly taken apart and reassembled and be transportable in an army wagon. To protect the department against irresponsible and visionary persons who set up claims to the invention of practical flying machines, bidders will be required to furnish with their proposal a certified check to the amount of ten per cent, of the cost of the machine. Christian Science Charity. Boston.—A Christian Science institution to cost at least $1,000,000 and to be devoted especially in helping the poor, is the latest project of the Christian Science movement. The Christian Science weekly Sentinel publishes correspondence between Mary Baker G. Eddy and the editor of the denominational publications, who has gone to Concord to confer with her, in which Mrs. Eddy wrote: "I desire to commence immediately to found a Christian Science institution for the special benefit of the poor and the general good of all mankind. The founding and endowment of this institution will cost at least $1,000,000." Y. M. C. A. in New York. New York city is the greatest Y. M. C. A. center in the world. It has more than 40 organizations and 20,000 members; it has 400 secretaries and employees, and 2,800 of its members are office holders and committeemen. Its largest building, the Twenty-third street branch, cost $1,000,000, and has 3,600 members. Keep Mum. Women, as women, are pretty much alike.

Big Democrats, little Democrats, free trade Democrats, old slave Democrats and the whole jssorted representation of rehabilitated Democracy are to visit us. Well, Denver is aspiring for a name as a convention city and she can be depended upon’ to do her part. Tt will be a good thing for Democracy, too, especially Southern De-| mocracy, to get into a higher altitude, for once, and let ‘the light, fresh zephyrs blow through their whiskers. It will be good for what ails them, but we can offer no assurance that it will improve their chances to elect their candidates, BALAAM’S ASS. SECRETARY TAFT’S recent visit to the Philippines gave rise to a dilemma the importance of which has not been fully understood or appreciated by that home constituency which is seeking to rush him into the presidential chair. Mr, Taft is a heavyweight, and when the military maneuvers were on, during the course of the elaborate recep- tion program being carried ont in his house, and it was necessary to transport the big secretary of war from one town to another in true military style, no horse could {be found strong enough to bear the honored guest along with the officers and their mounts. The problem was a grave one until at last it; was solved by drafting into service a Lig army mule, which bore its weighty but honorable burden without the bicker of an ear, so long as the army program was adhered to. The only balk came when, it is surmised, the ardent army officers allowed their enthusiasm to go so far as to solicit their chief to pit his mount at once against the myriads that were striving to reach the promised land in the realm of American polities. “And Balaam rose up in the morning and saddled his ass and went with the princes of Manila. Now he was riding upon his ass, and his two servants were with him. And the ass saw something in the way, and turned aside out of the way, and went into the field. “And Balaam smote the ass to turn her into the way. But there was a wall on either side of the way, and the ass still saw something, and she thrust herself into the wall and crushed Ba- Jaam’s foot against the wall, and he smote her again. “The ass then proceeded to a narrow place where there was no way to turn, either to the right or, left, and there she saw something again, and she fell down under Balaam, and Balaam’s anger was kin- dled, and he smote the ass with a staff. And the ass spoke unto Balaam and said, ‘What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times?’ And Balaam said unto the ass, ‘Beeause thou hast mocked me.’ And the ass said unto Balaam, ‘Am not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden all through the maneuvers?

The old ship, Earth, is gracefully sweeping into harbor, in completion of her annual voyage. Will her great load of terrestrial inhabitants for her crew, she has made the trip around the sun, and is now coming up the harbor to her old and usual moorings. A great journey we haye had in this last, annual solar excursion. We have seen great sights, felt the rising of great passions and great sensations and learned great truths. But we shall have only time forfa little jubilee, a little rejoicing, a little reflection, while the ship is turning “round, and then we must be off again for another voyage. For the New Year is upon us, |and the old, old course must be sailed again. : t But it is remarkable how new this “old” course ever appears to us, for the voyage of each New. Year brings its own unforetold experiences, Ours is a voyage of exploration, ever, always -sailing out into and through the sea of the Great’ Unknown. So men have learned to, face bravely that future which they can. not foresee, but which depends so much upon the effort made to fathom it. We are all aboard the great ship, and we must sail, so let us go as sailors go, who have no fear of the deep. For we are all members of the crew, and no man is, by right, an idle passenger, If there are any who sail as such, they are usurpers, imposing upon the rights of those of us who labor. For each individual has his station, and with it, his duty to perform. Some of us are stokers, at the very bottom of the hold, some engineers, some common sailors, some deck hands, some aloft in the look out, and some of us are officers in charge of the crew,—not the ship. For the ship is piloted by an unseen hand, out through the wastes, the billows, the breakers, and come what will, the voyage is safe and the harbor sure for those who do their duty. And each man’s duty, however humble, is important, and adds_ its value to the glory of the voyage. But how went the last voyage with you? Did the storms appal you? Did the waves fill you with dread? Or did you stand at your post bravely, doing your full duty and trusting calmly in the unerring guidance of the unseen hand at the helm? The new year voyage is before us, and the joy and pleasure and profit of the journey depend upon our courage and our trust. There are no wrecks in our path, un- less we choose to yield to our fearsand desert the ship and the pilot. The yielding to fear, dread or the useless harrow oyer our tasks, is the only disaster that can overtake us. For this sea of life that we are sailing through, is bounded and controlled by Omnipotence, and the yearly voyage is the training school in which we are fitted for promo- tion. So as we sail out again into the vast, reaching blue, may none miss the cheer of that hopeful, trusting, strengthening, faithgiving hail—Bon Voyage! Woman Exeels When Home Ia Genter of Artivities ESBS By ere eek NRE (NCE woman is intellectually equal to man, there is no occu- pation—barring a few demanding great physical endurance— in which she may not, if she choose, excel. There are many, however, into which it is unwise for any save the exceptional woman to attempt to enter. Sex differences are not simply physiological. ‘There are equally important mental and ethical divergences which, for the sake of right human progress, should be preserved and, indeed, intensified. While, therefore, the majority of men and |S | pl bd cae eS Kee Fe ae ee ee a ee EN hee we ures pations, to do so would be to sacrifice the enormous advantage which comes from the duality of sex and the consequent doubling of the intel- lectual and spiritual range of human life. A woman must have the stability and shelter of a home while bear- ing and rearing children. Therefore, she excels, as she should, in the field of the household, not as a patient drudge, but as the house manager, as the center of family interests, as the chief guide and teacher of her children. She excels, moreover, because, as a woman, she has certain fundamental qualities, different from those of the male, that are seem- ingly essential to the preservation of the home and to the progress of civilization. The most vital of these is her ethical idealism. ‘To the many women who do not marry or do not have children there ‘is presented the wide field of that larger family, the community. ‘Therein are many occupations analogous to those of the household and requiring kindred powers, such as education, the fine arts, the domestic arts, medi- cine, nursing, organized philanthropy, and a long list of what may be called household and esthetic industries, such as the furnishing of food, clothing and shelter, the making and selling of innumerable domestic sup- plies, and the filling of the increasing human need for decorative beauty. Many of these fields, such as teaching and the domestic arts, are the pe- culiar province of women; into others they are rapidly making their way. Yet—with notable exceptions—women do not to-day excel, do not, that is, reach the standards of achievement to which men, in tho preeminently male occupations, have attained. As a consequence, those ethical and in- tellectual sides of human progress which, because they concern the family and the rearing of the child, are the most important, seriously lag behind the material side—the applying of the earth’s resources to well-being and to luxury—which is mainly in the hands of men. This is through no fault of woman and is no evidence of sex defi- ciencies. It is due to the fact that the intellectual equality of woman has only recently been acknowledged; that she has never been broadly trained for those occupations which are clearly hers; and that the rapid advance in her opportunities for education has been along male lines in- stead of towards developing, strengthening and training those powers which are natural to her sex and essential to the right growth of civiliza- tion. The question of her execllence in achievement cannot be answered until she has had time to show what, under modern conditions of free- dom, she can really do. | Being a woman I can perhaps give but one side of the question, but a woman’s intuitive pow- ers often help her to a flash-light view of a man’s heart. The effects of Love are so varied and curious that the subject seemaeoinaxhanstible (at Che Philusophy of Laue first sight. The longer we live, however, the clearer grows the fact that the whole of humanity is divided into types. From the perfect type of each kind come paler and paler reproductions as in photographs that grow more and more shadowy as they are copied from the negative. We have as many loves as there are types. ‘There is the grande passion so fateful, so terrible, which we all dread and long for—the sacred fire wil] encircle us in scorching flames and reduce our hearts to ashes. This is love at its acme. Love so divine that despite its dangers it is, and will ever be, the world’s desire. ‘There are passionettes that grip us for a brief space and leave no memories sweet or deep, and what Shakespeare terms the love fancy, the first glow of passion in youth, the Coming of Eros, the rising of the curtain on the comedy or the drama of love. ‘There is love the sentiment and love the passion, and the poor humans have so little understanding that they know not the one from the other. One type of man becomes an idiot when he falls in love, but such have only a step to take—they were on the brink already. When he meets a girl as silly as himself they marry, and are happy ever after, but to the clever woman this form of suitor is absolutely unbearable. I have said nothing of the platonic lovers—this fad of Plato’s is an unknown quantity and as dangerous as a match to a powder magazine. I do not assert that platonics are impossible, but I fear they are likely to turn to love. That child, Cupid, plays such curious pranks with our hearts one aever knows what is going to happen next. People live side by side in sexless friendships, and one day, behold Love has them in his snares, A woman goes out to a dance heart-whole and fancy-free, and meets her coupe de fondre. She has seen a face that is memorized on her vision for evermore, she has rested on a heart in the whirl of the waltz, and all the gray of her life has turned to gold. Men feel love with more intensity than women, and they forget more swiftly. They have, in short, more imagination and greater cope for experience. If women understood men and their lives a little better there would be less inhappy marriages. Man hates to feel that his liberty is being alienated: he resists this to such an extent that it is often an im- portant factor in his love affairs. No human being can really interfere with another’s liberty, go this is an erroneous idea at best, given chiefly by the women themselves; they cling so persistently to man, interfering with his aspirations and hampering his ambitions so that he either bursts his fetters or sinks deeper and deeper into the slough of domesticity. Few of us love men for themselves or dream of maling them happy according to their own lights, We want them “all to ourselves;” they must be happy in the magic circle of our narrow limitation. Just at first, when passion is at its height, man is content to sport his golden fetters, but presently he gazes at the sea and sighs for the distant shores and the “Lointaine Princesse” who is the emblem of new and deeper emotions. He wants to purrue the study of life, to fulfill his destiny, to accomplish his evolution—the roses are gathered and dea co THE a OUR GREAT SEMI-ANNUAL Offers 83|000-O’Coats& Suits Regardless of Cost $15, $18, 820 and $22 GARMENTS AT S] l -0O While the marvetous values we offer in clothing is the main feature of this 38th semi-annual clearance sale, every section throughout the store is identisied with this great event.

Cottell, one of the leading colored physicians of this city, died here at 1:30 p. m., Thursday, December 26, 1907, after an illness of about ten days of pneumonia. Deceased came to Denver about six years ago and had built up a practice unsurpassed. He and his brother, D. J. Cottell, were proprietors of the Cottell pharmacy at 2100 Arapahoe street. As a surgeon he has been one of the most successful in the West, performing some of the most difficult operations known to modern surgery, being highly commended by both nurses and surgeons of St. Anthony, St. Joseph and Mercy hospital's. Deceased was born in Appamatox county, Virginia, July 4, 1871, and at the age of twelve years moved with his parents to Philadelphia, where he grew to manhood. He is a graduate of Hampton Normal and Industrial Institute of Hampton, Virginia, and of the Howard Medical College of Washington, D.C. He practiced for a short time in Topeka, Kansas, but decided that Denver was the best field. By his demise Denver has lost one of its best medical and surgical physicians. Besides his brother, D. J. Cottell of this city, he leaves a father, Wm. Cottell of Scottsville, Virginia, and a sister, Mrs. Mary J. Agee of Winona, West Virginia, and a large circle of friends to mourn his demise. Deceased was a member of Damon Lodge, No. 5, Knights of Pythias, and Rocky Mountain Lodge, No. 2320, Grand United Order of Odd Fellows. The remains will be shipped by Undertaker Q. J. Gilmore to Virginia for burial. Communication DENVER, COLO., DEC. 26. '07. MR. JOS. D. D. RIVERS, ED. THE Dear Sir and Friend:Over a month ago the Denver (white) papers—Post and News—endeavered to brand me and our work a fake and decided to run me out of Denver. I was to be thoroughly investigated and would have to face a court. No doubt, many of all races believed, convicted and sentenced me to jail or death. This note is to let the readers of your paper know that I have been holding regular meetings twice a week; have hired no one to appeal to officers of the law for protection; have not been arrested save arresting myself and allowed the audience to question me for three hours on the 17th inst. in the Howe Hall, and, having finished my three months' lecture course I shall leave soon after New Years on a tour in Colorado, East and South, to return the latter part of 1908 with more love and truth for Denver. Accept my thanks for your kind notice in my defense and may all your readers have confidence in your mission—to publish truth and let the "chips fall where they may." Very sincerely, REV. DR.

Just one year from the time the medicine was lost it showed up again at the drug store. A woman brought it in. "This bottle was left at our house by mistake," she said. The clerk read the name on the wrapper and the date on the label, then he called to a man who sat leaning against the cigar counter with his head propped up in his hands. "Captain," he said, "here is that medicine we had such a time about. I don't see," he added, turning to the woman, "why you didn't bring it back sooner." "I didn't think of it," she explained. "The maid took it in one day when we were all out. She thought it belonged to somebody in our house. It has lain around there in a cupboard all this while. It never occurred to us to return it until just this morning, and then it struck me you might be able to use it." The man by the counter lifted his head out of his hands. "Use it?" he said. "Of course we can. I had the grip last year where it was put up and I've got the grip now. I can take that medicine as well as a new bottle full." "No, you can't," said the clerk. "Some druggists might permit you to, but we won't. It might upset you for a month. Some medicines never lose their healing power, while others not only fail to produce the desired effect, but become positively harmful after standing a few months. The length of time a medicine retains its efficacy depends upon the ingredients. Some combinations of drugs keep on good terms with each other indefinitely, while others get into a row after being mixed together for a while, and the man who swallows a dose of the stuff is apt to feel a good deal worse than before he took it. As a rule medicines that are quite sweet keep their curative virtues longer than those that are acid or bitter. Most any medicine can be taken in safety six months after compounding, and many will be all right six years hence. Those that are not good generally take on a curdled, milky appearance; but that is by no means an infallible test, and the person who wishes to save his system uncomfortable complications would do well to let old medicines strictly alone." The man looked at the bottle regrettfully. "And that was an expensive prescription, too," he said. "It seems a shame to waste it." "Never mind," said the clerk, "We are willing to stand the loss. We would rather do that than to take chances on losing a good customer like you." American Names. If we have some growing sense of a desire to touch with poetry the terminology of our American towns we have succeeded so far only in securing a sightly picnic grove atmosphere such as is given off by Lakewood or Riverside. The rich sentimentalism of the real estate dealer has done what it could considering the hurry he is in. If we have a new manufacturing suburb, the chances are we shall be too lazily and flatly patriotic, call it Lincoln and be done with it, or too crudely romantic, in which case the secretary of the company will report to the directors that he has had the place incorporated as Ivanhoe. With the slightest dash of poetry in his soul he might keep true to the strenuous character of the place with all its prospective labor agitations, and at the same time give a tinge of beauty to the situation forever by calling it Fretley. Or if it is a place where hammers are to ring from morning to night, why not call it Stroke instead of naming it Smithville after the present chief stockholder in the concern? -Atlantic Monthly. Collecting His Bill. One day last summer visitors to a merry-go-round on a vacant lot in the outskirts of Philadelphia were very much touched by the melancholy demeanor of a long, lean, lank individual who, suffering greatly, persisted in riding repeatedly. At last some one said to him sympathetically: "You appear to be in great distress." "Yes," replied the man on the merry-go-round, "this continual riding round and round makes me seasick." "Well, then, why don't you quit riding?" asked the inquisitive questioner. "I can't help it," replied the poor man. "The man who runs this merry-go-round owes me money, and the only way I can collect it is by taking it out in rides." If Odors Only Were Nourishing. "If one could live on odors alone," said Mr. Flatdweller, "it wouldn't cost much to live in a flat. "For there's no odor of cooking known that you can't smell here. The dumb-waiter shafts and the various holes through floors and cellings for steam and water pipes seem to make the whole building a sort of universal smell conductor in which no cooking odor is lost, in which all odors come to all. "And so if anybody in the building has roast turkey we know that, but so, alas! do we know it full well if anybody has corned beef and cabbage or onions or fish. There is, indeed, a surfeit of odors, and as I said, if one could live on odors what a place this would be to board—such a variety and how cheap!" ‘Taking His Measure, ~-"Do you ever drink to excess?” ask- wa the girl’s father. “I never touch liquor of any kind, sir.” “How about tobacco?” “I do not smoke. I have never had @ cigar or a cigarette in my mouth.” “Ever gamble?” “Never, I do not know one card from another.” .“I\ suppose you swear sometimes?” “No sir. An oath has never passed my lips.” “Um.

He never sits, he never stands still, but up and down, round and’round, to and fro he struts continually. “A little boy listening to the weird akirl of the bgapipes of a street per- former, once said to his father: “Father, why does the piper keen on the move all the time he plays?” “ 4] can’s say, my boy,’ the father an- swered, ‘unless it Is to prevent anyone getting the range with a cobblestone.’” Literary Calamity.

Wifey—You're right, nobody knows that better than I do. Laundry work at home would be much more satisfactory if the right Starch were used. In order to get the dosired stiffness, it is usually neces- sary to use so much starch that the beauty and fineness of the fabric is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the wear- ing quality of the goods. This trou- ble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its great- er strength than other makes. Post Card Petition.

Defiance Starch, being free from ull injurious chemicals, is the only one which is safe to use on fine fabrics. Its great strength as a stiffen- er makes half the usual quantity of Starch necessary, with the result of perfect finish, equal to that when the goods were new, With a smooth fron 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.

Whole Body Covered with Cuban Itch —Cuticura Remedies Cured at Cost of Seventy-Five Cents. “My little boy, when only an infant of three months, caught the Cuban Itch. Sores broke out from his head to the bottom of his feet. He would itch and claw himself and cry all the time. He could not sleep day or night, and alight dress is all he could wear. I called one of our best doctors to treat him, but he seemed to get worse. He suffered so terribly that my hus- band said he believed he would have to die. I had almost given up hope when a lady friend told me to try the Cuticura Remedies. I used the Cuti- cura Soap and applied the Cuticura Ointment and he at once fell into a sleep, and he slept with ease for the first time since two months. After three applications the sores began to dry up, and in just two weeks from the day I commenced to use the Cuticura Remedies my baby was entirely well. The treatment only cost 75c, and I would have gladly paid $100 if I could not have got it cheaper. I feel safe in saying that the Cuticura Remedies saved his life. He is now a boy of five years.

NEW MODES IN MILLINERY There is nothing new under the sun, unless it is in dress, and woman—that is, fashionable woman—is constantly on the quil vive to catch the latest hints of fashion, and to accommodate them to her peculiar needs and her pocketbook. Perhaps the newest novelty for the winter season is the "Beau Brummel" tie. It was first introduced across the water, and was instantly taken into feminine and fashionable favor with an enthusiasm easily to be understood—and certain to be shared when once you see for yourself just how convenient and how charming it is. So as such knowledge will increase both your comfort and your smartness this winter we show above the faithful portrait of the new tie for all to study and admire, and I may tell you that its fastening is most simply and successfully effected by the mere passing of one end through a loop of the fur, while by the same means it can be adjusted to fit the neck as closely and cosily as you will. It is indeed a wonderfully protective little affair, and will be a most welcome addition to the collarless coats which continue supreme in fashion's favor, while then according to your mood of the moment or the style of your accompanying headgear you can either let its ends be piquantly poised at one side or more demurely folded in front, the charm of variety being thereby added to its account. The more "dressy" tailor-made coats are for the most part of short-length or to the ankles. Very few short ones are seen in cloth or serge, though there are exceptions made in fur sacques and boleros; in fact, at any minute the little sacque coats may be reved, but for the moment let us content ourselves with the long graceful semi-fitting coats which are so becoming to most of womankind. In our illustration we show one of the latest tailor-mades. As can be THE LATEST TAILOR-MADE readily seen it is of the most graceful design of the very latest and most fashion-favored coat and skirt costume. It is made up in fine face cloth, which comes in all the newest shadings, and is finished in a most effective device in broad and silky braid. Its exceeding smartness is too obvious to need comment, but the long, graceful lines of the coat and the full skirt will be found very becoming to most figures. In our other single column picture we show the latest treatment of the popular stripes. In this costume the striped material is cut in different ways so as to supply their own trimming, as for instance is seen on the skirt. Bands of plain cloth in harmonizing color and a lace yoke complete the design. The hat is of white felt with fancy plume. As for the newest things in millinery we show below two very pretty but in- NEWEST TREATMENT OF STRIPES expensive hats. One of the twain is made in cinnamon brown satin brim, soft full crown in chine silk, finished off with the chou of cinnamon satin and the new ostrich mount. This is a hat which can be worn with any costume and can be made in any color desired, and made in black satin underlined with velvet would be very striking. The second hat shown in the illustration is of an equally dainty creation. It is made in a dead shade of mauve satin underlined in velvet in a darker color with a charming wreath of two shades in velvet flowers fastened in front with a bunch of deep rich cerise silk roses. This lovely hat would go well with a rather colorless gown. It can be made in all colors, and would have a very smart effect. "Death!" I would cry most gladly to the cloche hat, though I would by no means banish from recognition the mushroom hat which was the original germ of these modish monstrosities, which have already exceeded all the bounds of good taste, to say nothing of common sense, upon which I should be sorry to insist as a pivot for fashion; but, again I repeat, the mushroom hats by all means. These are made in felt or beaver, wreathed with autumn leaves, or trimmed with colored velvet choux. They are easily achieved at home, these choux. Only select the colors which contrast well, and buy three-eighths of a yard of velvet on the cross, each of three different shades, gather them round together at the back, place them on the hat, and indent them with your finger wherever you think likely to look well. The more carelessly this is done the better the effect. One hat which was made after the above directions was of a dark purple, and the three colors were peacock blue, sage green and helliotrope. The hat was of the mushroom shape. SUPERIOR SERVICE PRIVATE DINING ROOM ROBEPT CARR 1922 LAWRENCE ST. Denver, GARME 925-16TH ST.
