Owens of Colorado Springs, who spoke in appreciation of the hearty welcome extended by Denver and hoped that the meeting would be instructive to both visitors and residents of the city. Mrs. Whittaker, a prominent and successful hair dresser of Colorado Springs, delivered a paper on "Women in Business." Her advice was sound and the statistics most interesting. Rev. H. Franklin Bray, the president of the League, in his annual address, brought forth facts which gave an optimistic view of the future of the Negro, and closed with remarks of appreciation of the live work of Dr. Booker T. Washington, the president of the National Negro Business League. Mr. O. T.

M. Papers by the President ers of the League. Ex-President Rev. W. W. E. Gladden took the chair and a general discussion of the subject followed. On account of the lateness of the hour, further discussion was deferred until the morning session at ten o'clock. After successful sessions of the previous day, the League opened Tuesday morning with the introduction of several visitors, followed by a general discussion by the ladies of Mrs. Whittaker's paper on "Women in Business." In the afternoon, Mrs. H. D. Earl, of Colorado Springs, read a paper on "Mining and Real Estate Investments." The committee on nominations here submitted their report and the following officers were elected by acclamation: Rev. H. Franklin Bray, of Pueblo, president; Dr. J. H. P. Westbrook, Denver, first vice president; Mrs. E. J. Goodall, Fort Collins, second vice president; Mr. W. A. Gatewood, Eastonville, recording secretary; Mr. F. M. Roberts, Colorado Cprings, corresponding secretary; Mr. M. B. Brooks, Pueblo, treasurer; Mr. Joseph H. Stuart, Denver, attorney. The evening session brought forth a crowded house and settled all questions as to the convention being a very great success. Vocal solos were rendered by Mr. Eldrige H. Lee, of Colorado Springs, and Miss Pearl Barnes, who is a kindergarten teacher in Washington, D. C., but whose home is in Denver. The crowning event of the evening was the address of Rev. W. W. E. Gladden, chaplain of the 24th U. S. Infantry, and ex-president of the State League. His subject was "The Demon of Discontent." Starting from the time of Adam, he passed through ancient history, through the time of the Pilgrim Fathers, the American Revolution, to modern times, citing the struggle of Booker T. Washington who in the days of his youth, was attacked by this "demon of discontent," and sought enlightenment; then having received his education, he was again attacked by the "imp" and becoming dissatisfied with the condition of his race, started the school which has become so wide famed. His advice was that if we did not have enough of the "demon, get more." During his address he stated that he had been in charge of the athletic team of the 24th U. S. Infantry, which competed with the teams of all other regiments and won first place by one point, from the 9th calvary. --- onizing Th ADC THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, The winner of the "All Around Championship" was also a member of the 24th for which he received the first gold medal ever presented by the government for such a contest. Mr. Joseph H. Stuart then spoke on the mission of the Business League, showing how the League had and was benefiting the race. It was decided yesterday afternoon that the next convention would be held in Boulder. The session closed with a grand reception given by Denver Local Business League. PRESIDENTS ANNUAL ADDRESS. Members of The Colorado State Negro Business League, Ladies and Gentlemen:Four years ago on this very spot, what is now known and recognized as a power for good,'The Colorado State Negro Business League" received its birth. The best evidence of the necessity and the wisdom of the organization is seen in the record made, the success thus far achieved. In the very outset let it be understood and that now and forever, that this organization assembled here tonight is distinctly and peculiarly a business organization; an organization of ladies and gentlemen directly or indirectly engaged or interested in some substantial business It is to be hoped that there will be few, if any, long speeches. We are gathered to hear the brethren testify, and the testimony is to be given with an eye single to imparting information and inspiration to all who hear. You represent the coming Negro nation; that nation which believes that there is very little, if any, impossible to the man who has brains in his head, skill in his hands and faith in his heart, and believes that nothing comes to him who waits, unless he hustles while he waits. We believe that one who works in the field is worth a thousand critics by the fireside. Assembled here are men and women from all over this and adjacent states, to hear what those who address us have done, and not what they have planned, or hope to do. We want to hear from the men and women who have succeeded in business in their own community. In following this general plan, we do not overlook the fact that there are other and vital subjects bearing upon the rights of our race. We do not overlook or minimize the wrongs and the injustices under which the race often suffers, but one organization cannot embrace all the interests of the race. We believe that we can be can best serve our people at this time and under present conditions, by clinging steadfastly to our original purposes, by clinging to the things which, in a large measure, under- lie progress in education, progress in morals, and progress in civil rights. As the Clergymen's, the Statesman's one the public spirited individual is a great and a mighty work, none the less is ours, who presume to fill the place of pioneers, of pathfinders and highway pavers for our people along commercial lines. Our every advance step must be permanent and firm, substantial and logical, and in our struggle for advancement we must recognize the necessity of paying for all we get, all we expect to get, of pursuing on in the even tenor of our way, meeting and overcoming every obstacle and impediment, mounting higher and higher, not as black men or white men, not as oppressed men or favored men, but as men. Instead of blaming some one for not providing decent surroundings and comfortable homes, instead of complaining because work is denied in certain quarters, let us turn our attention in a large measure, to the policy of going to the fundamental sources of all occupations; that is, create out of the soil, out of wood, mineral, water the products the world wants. This policy will make us creators of jobs, and not mere seekers after jobs. When a man is sick in body it is of little value or comfort to have all his aches and pains described to him each day in the year. What that man craves is a remedy that shall rid him of his ailments. What the world is now anxiously waiting to hear about the Negro is, not his sickness, but his health. Following a pessimist or a funeral procession, is to say the least. The Negro Business Leagues organized all over this country from a contingent optomists, each with just "ginger" enough in him to see nothing and know nothing but a coming, full, complete and glorious resurrection for the race. When during the days of reconstruction, Gen. O. O. Howard visited and addressed an assembly of poor, oppressed and unfavored black boys in Georgia, he asked "what shall I tell the people in the North when I return?" and instantly, there was a ragged, illclad black boy on his feet, who responded in this optimistic tone, "tell them we are rising." This organization sends forth this proclamation to the Nations of the earth, namely, "we know no barriers, recognize no obstacles, submit to no impediments and are marching." Ten millions of people refined in the school of oppression, have been touched with a new inspiration, and are coming forth to join hands with the advance guard of the more favored millions, and share and share alike, both in the (Continued to fourth page) Notable Facts On the Political Issues of the Campaigns of 1908 by Hon. Joseph H. Stuart, who Wisely Points out Some Interesting Facts. We are too prone to be slaves to our habits. And this is true whether those habits be habits of thought or of action. And so it is that Colorado Republican politicians are accustomed to assert with great vehemence in every campaign that this is a Republican state and the party is bound to win. Why? Because the state came into the Union as a Republican state and maintained that political status for several elections. Because its delegation in Congress, both in the Senate and house of representatives for the first sixteen years of its statehood, was solidly Republican, if we accept the accident of the first congressional election when a Democrat was seated in the national house of representatives to the exclusion of his Republican opponent. It seems to be even forgotten that during this period of 16 years two Democratic governors presided over the destinies of the state, having each in his turn been elected by a safe and unquestioned majority. But 16 years ago Colorado had just completed one half of its present life as a state. Now let us note what has happened since that time or during the second sixteen years of its existence. In 1892 the Populist carried the state by an overwhelming vote in all of its departments, winning also the electoral ticket and two Demo-Populist congressmen, the full delegation allowed the state at that time. In 1894 the Republicans "redeemed" the state in a hard fought campaign and reelected E. O. Wolcott to the Senate. In 1896, 1898 and 1900 Democracy swept the state by tremendous majorities, electing the entire tickets in all their branches. In 1902 the state was once more "redeemed" by a very close margin, but only in the executive department, for the Democratic U. S. Senator, Henry M. Teller, was re-elected by the Legislature then chosen. In 1904 although the party carried the state for Roosevelt and the balance of the national ticket by a large majority yet so close and doubtful was the result on the candidate for governor that the Legislature, which was itself at first of doubtful and uncertain complexion, determined the issue by seating Mr. Peabody the Republican candidate. This brings us down to the campaign of 1906 when we again made a clean sweep at the polls returning a solid Republican delegation to the national house NO. 42. of representatives, and electing the first Republican U. S. Senator since 1894. These are some of the hard facts that the party management will do well to have ever present before their eyes, and to chew upon and digest at the very commencement of this campaign. It is true they are not very consoling or pleasant to contemplate. The same may be said of a great many other things in other human affairs, the consideration and use of which nevertheless may be of vital concern. In every important and uncertain enterprise of life the wise and prudent man while counting the elements of success will just as carefully balance against them the possibilities of failure. In so doing he will be better equipped and prepared to meet emergencies as they arise. And the politician, like the general, is in much better shape to fight with reasonable assurance of victory, when he takes a broader view of the field and, knows the full strength of his forces and holds a just estimate of the strong and weak points of his opponents. Thus by a review of the political history of the state it will be seen, first, that it was not cleanly, clearly and reliably Republican for the first 16 years; that during that period the Democratic party elected at one election the only congressman that the state was then entitled to; that twice after that it elected Democratic governors (Grant and Adams). Second, that during the last 16 years or half of the state's existence it elected one Populist governor (Waite) and three Democratic governors, Adams, Thomas and Ormonde, and on the face of the returns, and except for the intervention of the intervention of the Legislature of 1905, another Democratic governor (Adams). That the Democratic party also elected U.S. Senator that was elected from 1896 to 1906 when the Republicans elected the present Senator Simon Guggenheim. Thus it will be seen that during the last 16 years the state has been more Democratic than Republican. In considering the political situation of 1906 it must be borne in mind that the Socialist ticket headed by Heywood for governor and the Ben Lindsey ticket greatly depleted the ranks of the Democratic party and made Republican victory a foregone conclusion. So that a broad and candid survey of the political situation during the last sixteen years gives the Republican party no great reason to boast of victories won, and certainly no well assured confidence of victory this year, except by the exercise of the most careful, energetic, just and capable management and a proper recognition of all the constituent elements of the party.

DUNN OF NEBRASKA. Denver.—On the first day of the National Democratic convention, Tuesday, the introduction of resolutions on the death of ex-President Cleveland did not prove to be an element of discord, as had been feared. Temporary Chairman Bell recognized I. J. Dunn, of Omaha, the man selected to place Bryan in nomination, who offered the following: "As it has pleased the Ruler of the universe to remove from our midst Grover Cleveland, late president of the United States, who was three times the candidate of the Democratic party, be it "Resolved, That we, the delegates of the party in national convention assembled, recognize in him one of the strongest and ablest characters known to the world's statesmanship, who possessed to an extraordinary degree the elements of leadership, and by his able, conscientious and forceful administration of public affairs, reflected honor upon his country and upon his party; and, "Resolved, That we hereby express our deep sorrow at his death and extend our warmest sympathy and condolence to his family, and that these resolutions be spread upon the records of the convention and a copy forwarded to Mrs. Cleveland; and, "Resolved, As a further mark of respect to his memory, the convention do now adjourn until 12 o'clock (noon) tomorrow." Former Governor Francis of Missouri was recognized and he delivered a brief and eloquent eulogy of the departed statesman, lauding him as his personal friend, as well as one of the greatest of Democrats. Colonel W. A. Haldeman of Kentucky seconded the motion for the adoption of the Dunn resolutions, and stated that he desired to indorse every word spoken by Governor Francis. Cries of Parker came from a down East delegation. Others took it up, and from all parts of the house there came a demand for the man from Esopus, the convention desiring to hear him on the Cleveland resolutions. He declined to arise until a nod from Chairman Bell assured him that he had recognition. "It was my purpose," began Mr. Parker, who had advanced to the speaker's stand, "had I been fortunate enough to have first secured the attention of the chairman, to have offered the following resolutions: "Before undertaking the important work confronting us, we, the representatives of the Democeratic party, in national convention assembled, record our profound grief at the great loss sustained by the country and civilization in the death of Grover Cleveland. "We honor him as a true statesman who kept inviolate the faith bequeathed by Thomas Jefferson in this time-honored organization of the people. We recall with grateful appreciation the signal services he rendered in maintaining jealously the just distribution of power guaranteed by the constitution to the executive, legislative and judicial departments of our government, insisting that no greater burden be imposed upon the people by taxation than is necessary to administer the government economically; in striking at the root of the growing evils of special privilege and trust monopoly by demanding tariff reductions (aplause); in making practical application of the principle of civil service reform under the motto, 'Public office is a public trust.' "We revere him as a patriot who never failed to denounce wrong and uphold right wherever found, whose courage was unmistakable, whose integrity was unquestioned, whose adherence to his ideals could not be shaken. "We deplore his death as that of the first citizen of the United States—the free, eminent embodiment of the political and social truths that from unselfish service comes the noblest power and that the power of influence is vastly greater than the might of authority. "Finally, we commend to American youths the study of this most striking example of universal honor and reverence, won by the true character through sturdy adherence to undying principles; and we hereby direct the consciences of this convention to transmit by telexraph to Mrs. Cleveland, in Princeton, New Jersey, this expression of our sorrow and our pride." "Therefore, I beg leave to second the resolution offered by the gentleman from Nebraska," (Great applause.) Mr. Dunn's resolutions were then unanimously adopted. Praise the Auditorium. Denver.—Eastern papers are praising without stint the beauties, convenences and acoustic merits of the Auditorium. New York leading dailies have led in the compliments and as far west as St. Louis Denver's Auditorium is being hed up as a model. This is what the Globe-Democrat of St. Louis says: "The new convention hall at Denver is a model of its kind. It would be impossible to overstate its wonderful acoustic merits or to exaggerate its beautiful proportions and the elaborate and tasteful decorations of the place. TESTIMONY OF McPARLAND DETECTIVE TELLS HOW HE SECURED CONFESSION FROM STEVE ADAMS. MADE NO PROMISES ALLEGED STATEMENT MADE IN PENITENTIARY AT BOISE, IDAHO Denver.—A Republican special from Grand Junction Wednesday night says: Detective James McParland this morning testified that he secured a confession from Steve Adams, charged with the murder of Arthur Collins, Feb. 27, 1906, while Adams was in the Idaho state penitentiary. He testified further that it was made voluntarily and of his own free will by the defendant. The defense denies this, and charges that the alleged confession was secured on promise of immunity. The state is basing its strongest hope of securing a conviction upon the alleged confession, the admissions in which are said to be startling. Arguments over the admission as evidence of the alleged written confession of Adams took up the entire time of the court. McParland stated that he went to Boise about Feb. 26, 1906, and visited the penitentiary, where he had a conversation with Adams by permission of Governor Gooding of Idaho and Warden Whitney. The killing of Arthur Collins was discussed, McParland said, and the other alleged crimes of Adams were taken up. In the alleged confession Adams is quoted as saying that it was given voluntarily and that he was not threatened, promised immunity or mercy at the hands of the law for giving the confession. A preliminary conference took place between McParland and Adams February 26. The next day, February 27, a stenographer was taken to the penitentiary and took the alleged confession in shorthand, afterwards transcribing it and turning it over to McPauland. McPauland stated that he was with the prisoner all day previous to the confession and that they conversed freely. He said he quoted from the Scriptures to Adams prior to the alleged statement of the latter, and cited instances of salvation for murderers. After the alleged confession had been typewritten, he said it was taken to the prison and submitted to Adams for his approval. McPauland said Adams made several interlineations in his own handwriting and had the chief clerk of the penitentiary, who later testified to the truth of the statement, correct other typographical errors. After the paper was completed to the satisfaction of Adams, witness said, it was signed by him and the original document was produced in court today. In the alleged confession Adams is said to have told what part he had taken in the murder of Collins, how much remuneration he had received, and gave details of the killing which had not been made public. McParkland stated that no threats had been made in securing the confession and that no immunity had been promised. A number of witnesses were introduced this morning, each corroborating the evidence of McParkland. W. B. Hopkins, one of the stenographers who took the notes of the alleged confession said he heard no threats from McParkland and that Adams made his own answers. Hopkins, at the time, was in the employ of the Pinkerton detective agency, he testified. Bulkeley Wells, chief witness for the state, testified that he had gone to Boise in May, 1906, and had arranged for the meeting with Adams through Attorney Hawley, who was counsel in the Mover-Pettibone case. Wells said Adams went to Telluride for the purpose of exhuming a body, and the men who went with him were for protection against violence at the hands of the Western Federation of Miners. Adams claimed at the time, witness said, that he was not in good standing in the organization and had since said that he had severed all connection with the organization. Security from mob violence was asked by Adams on the trip and he was carefully guarded en route to Telluride and during his sojourn at the Wells home in that city. Railroad Pushing for Walden. Cheyenne, Wyo.—Within thirty days the first railroad ever extended from a starting point in Wyoming into a neighboring state will cross the Colorado line and penetrate North park. It is the Laramie, Hahn's Peak & Pacific, the grading of an extension of which from Centennial into North parks has been completed. The laying of steel awaits merely the completion of one bridge, and probably before the end of the month the line will be operating in Colorado. The extension will reach Walden, Colorado, before the close of the present year. The thirty-fourth annual convention of the American Bankers' Association will meet at Denver Monday, September 28th. Henry Van Gundy, the wealthy ranchman whose mind recently became affected over the problem of perpetual motion and who gave Mrs. Steve Adams and President Moyer of the W. F. W. a fright by demanding to be made counsel for Adams, was adjudged insane in the county court of Mesa county and taken to Pueblo. Sam Koffinas, a section hand, was held up at Summit, on the Colorado Springs and Cripple Creek Short Line Sunday by two young men and robbed of $350, his savings for two years. One o the holdups hit him with a rock and the other threw pepper in his eyes. 828 SIXTEENTH ST. All The SPRING AND SUMMER SHOES ARE HERE. We are showing an endless variety at $3.50 and Up. H. L.

The idea of race development is not consistent with any method which entirely fuses two or more distinct racial elements, especially if those elements are of different color and characteristics, and therefore no race can be said to be fully developing its gifts and talents while it is merely copying after and feebly attempting to follow in the wake of another race with which it is in contact. Citizenship in the United States has placed this branch of the Negro race in a position unique in its relationship, but it has not in the least relieved the race from actual identification with Ethiopian species the world over. But this is the point which we do not sufficiently contemplate, and the point which demonstrates the narrowness of our present vision. Political and civil liberty for the individual is about the acme of our present aspirations, however, we may shape our efforts industrially, commercially, socially or religiously. But some day, perhaps, we will begin to think of the great good that we may do Ethiopia in general by mastering and diffusing all the great fund of ethical knowledge which we look upon at present as beyond our understanding and reach. In the science of engineering and of mechanism, of chemistry and botanical research, of mineralogy, horticulture, agriculture and all the other sciences forming the common basis of industry and of commerce, we have our largest and most natural opportunities for development, not alone as individuals but as a people: for the diffusing of this knowledge by black men among black men the world over would mean Ethiopia's rapid elevation. Humanity lives by exploiting the earth and developing its products. The greatest peoples are those which most industriously and persistently search out the secrets of nature and possess the soil of mother earth. The American Negro must soon begin to look beyond the realm of imitative living and acquire that wider view of life wherein all true development, individual as well as racial, has its beginning. A DELUSIVE THEORY. he has been the cause of many a f act all the simplee functions of life estrous effect while confidence, a factor in every worthy and resiure which must not be depended of hard substantial consisten Over-confidence has been the cause of many a failure. In business, in politics and in all the simpleer functions of life, this rule applies with the same disastrous effect while confidence, and a liberal supply of it, is a necessary factor in every worthy and responsible effort, it is nevertheless a feature which must not be depended upon without a corresponding support of hard, substantial, consistent work. With the convening of the national Democratic convention in Denver, the leading Republican journals of the state are indulging in almost ribald jest over the futility of Democracy's effort to regain political ascendancy in the nation or to influence conditions in Colorado to such an extent as to turn the state over to their control. That confidence which indulges in taunting jest is the dangerous kind. It is closely allied with shortsighted management and mistaken methods. The people do not take it for argument, but its most natural result is to make people look at the other side of the question. Over-preached confidence and the conditions leading up to it were the certain fore-runners of Republican defeat in Denver's recent municipal election. Those conditions can easily be duplicated in the state. Political issues change in Colorado with almost every biennial election, and the closeness of our struggles and the periodical changing of party administrations evidence a high degree of individual intelligence on the part of our entire citizenship. Such a people cannot be hoodwinked. Not all Republican voters in Colorado are favorably impressed with the work of their own national convention, and not all are satisfied with the complacent course of those leaders who assume to dictate party affairs in the state. The political sky is not quite so clear as the heavens above us, despite the jubilant front our medicine men are presenting to Democracy. The beet growers, the miners, the laboring men, and the colored people some of whom, at last, usually vote the Republican ticket, are not looking forward to the war dance with as much joy as ever. One distrust or another holds them in check, and it will take more than one grand pow-wow to get them all in line. Democracy is not blind and it is generally conceded that she is unterrified. There is no element that she will not do something to placate. So rather than breathe the haughty air of over-confidence, Republicans in state and nation need to be inspecting their lines which they expect to throw against the hungry hordes who this week are Colorado's guests. COLPRADO STATE NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE. (Continued from first) page burdens and responsibilities of good government and honored service, and alike in the enjoyment of the emoluments which naturally accrue. A brief reference is here made to the past, not however, with the thought of bringing forward any of its unpleasantness but to the end that we may correctly measure our progress. I beg your attention to retrospect with me for a moment, in order that we may see the rock from which we were hewn and the pit from which we were dug. I make this proposition: That never before in the history of the world, was there such a spectacle as was witnessed in the condition of the emancipated Freedmen a generation ago, after the close of the war. And I follow up that proposition with one like unto it, that never before in the history of mankind had any nation treated her emancipated Freedmen as our Nation treated hers a generation ago, after the surrender at Appomattox. Two hundred and fifty years of the most critical period of this country's history, tested and tried as no man has been tested and tried, as far as I have been able to read the world's history—tested and tried as to whether or not, when the opportunity was given, he would prove worthy of the confidence put in him by his former masters, whose women and children were left in his care during the war, fought to keep him a slave. Their loyalty on that occasion is the grandest incident in the history of this republic, and, in that critical moment he stood an example for all the world, he stood with one hand on the door-knob of his master's mansion for the protection of his master's wife and child, while his master in war fought to rivet the chains more closely about him. And if there be a single white Union soldier in all this audience tonight, he will bear me out in the assertion that the black boys were always the friends of the boys who wore the blue. And yet, after 250 years—250 years of making others richer and of making himself poorer, the Nation turned him loose without a single cent for his 250 years' service, with no tangible means by which he might get himself ready for the stern responsibilities of citizenship just before him. Ignorant, demoralized and degraded, slavery left him without a name, without a foot of land, without a true sense of manhood, without money, ragged, clotheless, naked. (Thank God our flight from the Egypt of Bondage was not made in the winter. But enough of that review. What has the Negro done, what is he doing, and what does he propose to do? Carnegie the Great, the philanthropist and humanitarian, announces of the world that the American Negro's progress eclipses anything in human history. Says he, "The Negro owns 746,717 farms, 38,233,933 acres, 59,741 square miles, just the area of England and Wales, or double that of Scotland. In 1900, the aggregate wealth of Negroes was placed at $300,000,000. The race," says Mr. Carnegie, "that owned not an acre of land a little over forty years ago, is now possessor as landlords, of an area larger than Belgium and Holland combined, and rapidly increasing." A word as to the illiteracy of the race: The consensus of 1870 and 1900, thirty years apart, compare as follows, as to illiteracy of Negro males of voting age: Total Illit- Per Number. erants. Cent. 1870 ...1,032,475 862,243 83.5 1900 ...2,060,302 976,610 47.4 Thus in thirty years, illiteracy has fallen 43 per cent. Since 1880 Negro churches have contributed for Negro education, $9,547,700 to supplement deficiencies of state systems. We have 23,462 church organizations, have built 23,770 churches with a seating capacity of six millions eight hundred thousand; we have 2,673,977 communicants out of ten million population. Our church property in valued at $26,626,448. We now have as additional evidence of our progress during these few years, thirty-three banks, Building and Loan Associations and insurance companies; 1734 Negro physicians and surgeons, 125 drug stores and 400 inventions which have been patented at Washington. Thus Dr. Lyman Abbot, editor of the "Outlook," recently wrote: "Never in the history of man has a race made such educational and material progress in forty years as the American Negro." We close with the acknowledgement of the fact that Dr. Booker T. Washington, the combined Moses and Joshua of his people, is the great moving spirit behind all our progress of whatever kind. Not only in the language of Carnegie, has he led us to the "Promised Land," but still lives to teach us by example and precept, how properly to enjoy it. He is one of those extraordinary men who rise at rare intervals and work miracles. Born a slave, he is today the acknowledged leader of the 10,000,000 of his race, a modest, gentlemanly man of pure, simple life, and engaging qualities, supremely wise, an orator, organizer and administrator combined. Considering what he is and what he has already accomplished, the point he started from and the commanding position attained, he certainly is one of the most wonderful men living or who ever lived. History is to tell of two Washington, the white and the black. One the Father of his Country, the other, the "Leader of his Race." H. FRANKLIN BRAY. President. PAPER ON NEGRO COLONIZATION IN COLORADO, by O. T. JACKSON OF BOULDER. Mr. President, Members of the League, Ladies and Gentlemen:—A district and town-site settlement is not a new idea. Colonization has been going on since civilization, and today there are hundreds of men going throughout the country looking for a desirable location for some class or race of people. It is a well known fact that all of the great countries draw their main support from their colonies, and for that reason there is always every encouragement offered by country and state to those who wish to colonize. The history of the United States is the history of her colonies. Much attention is given to colonization, and all intelligent people have read more or less of the great success of colonization. But it is not my aim tonight to go into the history of colonization. I will leave that subject for some of the noted speakers who will later address you. The Negro Business League of the State of Colorado in their session of 1907 at Colorado Springs adopted resolutions recommending that the plan of organizing and locating a Negro district and town in Colorado should be promoted. When the Executive Board was in session to arrange for the 4th annual meeting for 1908 it was decided to make the question of a district and townsite the main object of the session, and as I had drawn a plan of a district town-site a year ago, I was asked to explain it. My plan is to select 9 sections of land, 3 sections square or a level site—the center section to be laid out as a town-site. One fourth of each quarter section of the center section to be platted for the town proper, and the remaining portions of the center section cut up in 5 acre tracts so that they can be added to the town as it grows. The center circle shows a city park; business blocks face the park; the triangles in the rear of the business blocks are intended for rest parks.

The district and town will be governed by those who own land and reside in the district. The farming district is platted in tracts containing from 5 to 160 acres. There are thousands of our people in the East and South who are good farmers and mechanics who on account of health would be glad of an opportunity to locate in Colorado. There are many who would buy land or a town lot for speculative purposes, and some would buy stock for revenue. Not all who become interested in a district and town site would have to reside in the district to derive some benefit from its organization and resources. The man or woman who would put $5 or $10 in such a proposition would do more toward race progress than time will allow me just now to explain. A Negro district and town owned and governed by Negroes in the State of Colorado will mould the politician claiming that they have our votes and influence in their vest pockets, a Negro district would have demands to make of the political parties for the betterment of conditions that would have to be recognized, and, without the influence of the district, the vest pocket politician would be relegated to the rear. The people of a district and town-site settlement would become producers and thus be an important factor in the commercial world, as it needs product and wants trade.

As a race we must co-operate and establish our worth, industry, and influence, so that instead of having to demand political, business, and trade recognition, our patronage will be solicited. There are many reasons why we should establish ourselves as an independent class. Not until we marshall our forces, put our available capital together and prove to this community that we are as capable of self government as we are to be governed; that we can produce and do business the same as other races and classes, will we be in a position to demand or just recognition in a business and political sence according to our representation and taxation.

Representatives of thirty-seven states at a meeting of the National Negro Anti-Taft League, at 1922 Lawrence street, Wednesday drafted a memorial which was presented to the committee on resolutions, begging that the platform of the Democratic party be broad enough in its treatment of the race question to satisfy every race represented in the citizenship of the United States. The Nationol Negro Anti-Taft League is a consolidation of the National Negro Democratic League, the Liberty party, Niagara Movement, Negro National Council and National American Political League. The appeal is signed by George E. Taylor, Iowa; J. H. P. Westbrook, Colorado; W. T. Scott, Illinois. The league will work heart and soul for the defeat of Taft for the presidency.

Baker, Denver.—The News. NEGROES DEMAND PLANK FOR REPEAL OF JIM CROW LAW. Three representative Negroes were granted a hearing by the committee on resolutions Thursday and pledged their support to the Democratic party if it inserted a plank in its platform along the lines suggested by them. They were A. F. Wilson, A.M., Chicago; R. B. Montgomery, editor of the Weekly Advocate, Milwaukee, and Rev. D. D. Cole, pastor of the People's Presbyterian church, Denver. All three have been consistent Republicans in the past. They want something in the platform along the lines advocated by Mr. Bryan in his numerous speeches on the subject of the Negro question. Professor Wilson was the spokesman of the delegation. The Negroes want a plank guaranteeing them the same rights that are granted all other good American citizens. They want "no special and class legislation," meaning the law to compel whites and blacks to ride in separate cars, denounced. "We are convinced that we cannot hurt ourselves by supporting your nominee on such a pledge, as Mr. Taft is pledged to uphold the policies of the present administration, which are distasteful to the Negro," said Professor Wilson. The resolutions committee promised the Negroes they would be looked after properly in the platform. They appeared at the suggestion of Senator Pettigrew.—The Post. THE PEOPLE'S ALLIANCE.

San Francisco, July 8.—After talking for several hours tonight a return match was arranged by Tex Rickard of Rawhide, Nevada, between Joe Gans and Battling Nelson for September 7th, before the Ely, Nevada, Athletic club. The fight is to be to a finish, for a $30,000 purse, of which $20,000 will go to Nelson and $10,000 to Gans. Both men are to weight in at 133 pounds stripped, at the ringside, and the same conditions that prevailed at the last fight will hold; that is, the referee will not break the men. Rickard is to post $10,000 in the National Bank of Ely in ten days, and remainder of the purse thirty days before the fight. Nelson and Gans each must put up $10,000 within ten days, and $5,00 each thirty days before the fight. Ben Selig signed for Gans and Willis Britt for Nelson. Industry.

GIVE ME A CALL. SUIT SALE NOW ON 1/4 OFF Denver, Colorado FOUR TASTY SOUPS PREPARED ACCORDING TO MOST APPROVED MANNER. Clear Tomato Perhaps the Most Popular of All—Cream of Sweet Potato Soup a Popular Southern Delicacy. Clear Tomato Soup.—Add a pint of water to a can of tomatoes and place in a saucepan. Cut into dice one carrot, one onion, one turnip and one white potato; put two ounces of butter in the frying pan. Add the prepared vegetables and toss about until slightly browned, then stir them into the hot tomatoes, adding a stalk of celery or a quarter of a teaspoonful of celery seed, and boil 45 minutes. Remove from the fire and strain. Season with a teaspoonful of salt and a saltspoonful of white pepper, and then stir in two tablespoonfuls of butter. Serve in bouillon cups with toasted crackers. Croole Vegetable Soup.—Wash and cut into thin slices half a dozen good sized okras. Place them in a saucepan with a pint of stewed tomatoes and one thinly sliced onion. Cover the whole with two quarts of cold water and simmer for two hours. Add two teaspoonfuls of salt, a saltspoonful of pepper, and two tablespoonfuls of butter. When the butter is dissolved stir in a tablespoonful of mushroom catsup and one tablespoonful of chopped green sweet pickles. Serve with triangles of toasted bread. Puree of Lima Beans.—Cook one can of lima beans in a pint of salted water, adding a tablespoon of grated onion, a bay leaf, a blade of mace, and three whole cloves. When reduced to a pulp press through a fine sieve. Return to the fire and stir in two coffee cupfuls of milk and season with half a spoonful of salt and dash of cayenne. Thicken with one tablespoon of butter and one of flour rubbed to a paste, letting it just reach the boiling point, to cook the flour. Serve at once with tiny crescents of fried bread. Cream of Sweet Potato Soup.—This southern delicacy is made by peeling four sweet potatoes, covering with boiling water, and cooking five minutes, after which they should be drained and the water thrown away. Then cover them with one pint of boiling water, adding a slice of onion, a stalk of chopped celery, a bay leaf, and a pinch of thyme. Cover and cook until the potatoes are tender; then press them through a colander. Add one quart of milk and turn into the double boiler; rub together two tablespoonfuls of butter and flour; add to the soup and cook until smooth; season with a teaspoon of salt and a dash of cayenne and strain through a fine sieve. Reheat and stir in two tablespoonfuls of thick cream. To Clean Lettuce. When cleaning lettuce one often finds that each leaf is covered with a lot of tiny green bugs which it seems impossible to remove. It is a great time saver to wash the lettuce in cold water first to remove it of dirt, and then take water as hot as you can bear the hands in and place each leaf of lettuce in the water and shake it around in the water several times. You will find that the bugs will loosen their hold on the lettuce and will remain in the water. If the watter becomes cool add some more hot water, as the hot water is a great deal more effective than cold. After the bugs are all off the lettuce replace it in cold water for a short time to renew the crispness. Rotation Cake. One, two, three, four cake, or rotation cake, as it is sometimes called calls for the following ingredients: One cup butter, 2 cups sugar, 3 cups flour, four eggs, 1 teaspoon soda and 1 cup sour cream. Cream the butter and sugar, beat the eggs well and add to the mixture. Beat in thoroughly half of the flour, then stir the soda into the cup of sour cream, allowing it to foam over into the mixing bowl. Beat in the rest of the flour. Meg Dod's rule of giving 200 beats to every cake the last thing before putting into the oven is an excellent one. Blueberry Slump. Bring berries to a boil and sweeten to taste. Mix a dough as follows: Two cups flour, two even teaspoons baking powder, one teaspoon salt, and a little sugar. Moisten with milk or water, or both, until the consistency of dumplings, and drop into the boiling berries. Cook about 15 minutes and serve hot. Allow a teaspoon of baking powder for each cup of flour when making biscuit, dumplings, flap-jacks, etc. To Serve Tomatoes. Take small yellow tomatoes, remove skins carefully, put them in the ice chest to get cold without freezing. Make a bed of crisp, white leaves of lettuce and arrange tomatoes in uniform order on this; over all sprinkle a little parsley chopped fine. Serve with French dressing. Asparagus Fritters. Make a thick sauce with one-half cup of milk, one rounding tablespoon of butter and one-quarter cup of flour. Stir in one cup of cooked asparagus tips and cool.

Denver, Colo 100 Visiting Dress.—A very effective but simple dress of Aubergine colored soft cloth is shown here, the skirt is slightly full at the waist, and is trimmed with cross-wise bands of silk of the same color, one and a half inches wide. The over-bodice is trimmed to match the skirt, the fronts being connected by straps of silk attached each side under small rosettes. The under-slip is of piece lace. Hat of silk to match the dress, with a soft frill of lace under the brim. Materials required for the over-bodice and skirt, six yards 46 inches wide, three yards silk. Linen Costume.—Here is a very trim costume, in rather coarse white linen. The skirt is set in very deep plaits, turned up at the foot with a deep facing of blue linen; the fronts are ornamented with pearl buttons and blue cord loops. The jacket is edged with blue, and ornamented with buttons like the skirt. A skirt of white lawn is worn with the costume. Sailor-shaped hat of Tuscan-colored straw trimmed with pale pink roses. Materials required for the costume, seven yards white linen 44 inches wide, two and a half yards blue linen, 22 buttons, two and a half yards cord. Home Dress.—A pretty flowered cotton is used for the dress shown here; the skirt, which is slightly eased in at the waist, has two deep tucks above the hem, and a band of muslin embroidered insertion above the tucks. The blouse bodice has deep tucks over the shoulder to waist each side, and small tucks and insertion in center of front. The telescope sleeves are finished with a deep tight cuff of finely tucked material, trimmed with insertion. Materials required, 12 yards 28 inches wide, six yards insertion. Must Be Acknowledged Favorite Trimming of the Season. Buttons are a most favored trimming. They are used not only upon tailored gowns and summer frocks, but upon the more elaborate evening costumes. They are oftimes placed the full length of the clinging skirt at one side, in the center front or in the center back. This line of buttons is a continuation of the button trimming upon the bodice portion, and is one of the little tricks employed to give the much-desired "long-line-effect, feet. There is ample opportunity for the enthusiastic needlewoman to make buttons which will prove a feature of her costume. An old-fashioned method was to embroider upon the covered button-mould a five-pointed star. This requires time, but is very simple to make, and, if the embroidery silk be in a tone darker than the covering of the button, the effect is very handsome. Othem embroidered buttons have beads introduced. French knots assist in the decoration of buttons. Whole buttons are covered with soutache braid. Some buttons are slipped into little crocheted covers of embroidery silk. There is opportunity in the making of buttons to show great individuality and taste. Season's Novelty. One of the novelties of the season is a line of linen just inside the revers of a jacket, which gives it a clean and neat appearance that nothing else so small could possibly do. This is really a very good idea, and one that may be carried out in many attractive ways. For instance, if one's suit were a plain black and looked too dark for the season, one might easily add a little line of cerise or megneta, which would brighten the whole and take away that mourning look to which so many people object. Linen bands are especially used on suits for girls between 12 and 13 years. PRETTY AND STYLISH. THE NEW YORK TIMES Pretty coiffure formed of a banleau of silver palettes and two black velvet bows; hair dressed low at the back with soft curls. Much Depends on the Fastenings Being Properly Arranged. The whole appearance of an otherwise pretty garment may be marred if the fastenings are carelessly or incorrectly put on. There are many garments which are too fine for hooks and eyes and which are, in fact, fitted only for tiny buttonholes and buttons or hooks and loops. These loops are used both for small buttons and for hooks and are put on the collars of lingerie blouses, on baby clothes, and other sheer garments. When they are to be used for buttons they are put at the extreme edge of a hem or band and sometimes they are placed on the underneath part of a hem when it has been folded over and so closes the opening in an invisible manner. They are made by arranging loose threads of a certain length to form a loop large enough for the button to pass through. Use strong sewing cotton and fasten on by passing the middle between the folds to the edge of the band. Make it quite firm by taking a seaming stitch on it and give it a jerk to test it. Now take a stitch like a seaming one as far distant from the first as the diameter of the button, and draw the cotton in to within three-quarters or half an inch from the first stitch. Keep this loop around the forefinger and make another one by taking up the first stitch again, which of course takes the needle back to the right of the one last made. Repeat this four or five times, keeping all the loops the same length over the finger. Let the last stitch come on the right hand side, so that when the work is turned around for the loop to face the worker it becomes the left hand. Holding the work with the loop toward the body, pass the needle under the loops with the point toward you and pass the single thread to the right under the needle. This will make a purled edge at the top of the loop. Continue this from right to left and finish off securely. Loops for hooks are made in a similar manner, but the strands are drawn much tighter and they are made a quarter of an inch or so from the edge of the hem. Recently a smart model in a coat suit was seen. It was made up from the bordered goods that would be becoming to a stout, elderly woman, provided she were not too stout. The skirt was pleated in four groups, with the border forming the hem, and the coat was barely half length, cut into four points at the lower edge, breaking up the straight line—an excellent fashion for stout figures. This decorative portion of the material also trimmed the fronts of the coat, the cuffs and the neck. The sleeves were coat shaped. Very smart are the black net sailor hats trimmed with crape cords and bound at brim edge with a wide crape band. At side wing effects of crape-edged net stand upright and spread toward front, and a ruche of malinette tilts the hat slightly up at left.—Vogue.

We can hardly realize that of I all the children born in civilized countries, twentytwo por cent, or nearly one-quarter, die before they reach one year; thirtyseven per cent. or more than one-third, before they are five, and one-half before they are fifteen! We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would save a ma~ jority of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations. Drops, tinctures and soothing syrups sold for children’s complaints contain more or less opium, or morphine, They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. Castoria operates exactly the reverse, but you must see that it bears the signature of Chas, H. Fletcher. Castoria causes the blood to circulate properly, opens the pores of the skin and allays fever. ———————— [ ALCOHOL 3 PER CENT. ANegelable PreparationfarAs. similating the Food andReguia.

Clliott, of New York City, says: “Having during the past six years prescribed your Castoria for infantile stomach disorders, I most heartily commend its use. The formula contains nothing deleterious to the most delicate of children.” Dr. C. G. Sprague, of Omaha, Neb., says: “Your Castoria is an ideal medicine for children, and I frequently prescribe it. While I do not advo- cate the indiscriminate use of proprietary medicines, yet Castoria is an exception for conditions which arise in the care of children.” Dr. J. A.

It is a sure and reliable medicine for infants and chil- dren. In fact, it is the universal household remedy for infantile ailments.” Dr. H. F.
