Money Saved by Patronizing Those Who Advertise in This Paper. THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY LEADERSHIP What It Consists Of. Some Salient Points by a Forcible Writer, the Hon. Joseph H. Stuart. VOL. XIV. When the problem of leadership presents itself to our minds in any of the affairs of life there come trooping along with the main thought an association of ideas that relentlessly demand consideration. These may be briefly and hurriedly inventoried in a few sentences. First—Who are to be led? Second—What are the aims, purposes and scope of this leadership? Third—Are they in the nature of things attainable or measureably so? Fourth—What kind of man is best fitted for such leadership, his antecedents, training, temperament, etc.? Fifth—Who is to select this leader? If it is an army that is to be led in the field of battle or some part of it has been assigned some delicate, difficult and dangerous task common sense and ordinary prudence will suggest the selection of a soldier of experience, approved courage, high intelligence and resourceful initiative as leader. If the enterprise happens to be one of a political character where great issues are at stake the same watchful, careful and wise selection is exercised. As far as human foresight can pierce into the future and make forecasts the very best man considered from every point of view is put in command and made leader. He would have to be a man who, if not filled with the knowledge of the schools, must at least have practical common sense. He must be a man with a wide and deep knowledge of men and human nature, whose knowledge is gained by close touch and sympathy with the people. He must be a man whose temperament will at least permit him to be courteous and polite to those whom he assumes to lead, for politeness is closely allied with politics. The term is in fact derived from the very idea and methods adopted in politics. Above all, he must be a man of some native force of character—a man of some individuality, self-reliance and resolution—one who can with equal firmness say No or Yes, whenever it becomes necessary in the pursuit of the welfare of the people he represents. He ought to be a man whose ambition is at least a little higher than that of the rank and file of his followers, so that he would disdain to contend in the arena with one of them for a paltry position. He ought to be a man of lofty ideals and high-minded purpose, a man so broad, so certain of his footing and merit and so free from petty jealousy that it would never enter his mind to backbite, misrepresent and State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House ed by Patr COLOR CRSHIP alient Points by a Forcible Joseph H. Stuart. Patroni LORA DE “knock against” possible rivals to his superiors and employers. The writer apologizes to his readers for stating at such length those elementary qualities so necessary to leadership in politics and so plainly evident to the most obtuse mind. But it was necessary to do so in order to show by contrast and in proper perspective the picture of “your leader,”“our leader,”“the Colored Folks' Leader,” who is the incarnation of the exact negative of all the qualifications I have just pointed out. But if these qualities are necessary in a political leader under normal conditions much more essential are they when it is a race to be led politically. In a country where racial prejudice is a recognized and fixed principle, operating in politics as well as in other avenues, the race which feels its disadvantages and injurious effects must necessarily be distrustful and suspicious when the dominant race( or perhaps it is more accurate to say some individual or individual of that race) assumes to select a leader for it. It looks at first blush like a mild form of "the Greeks bringing gifts," or in the language of the street, like a gold brick. It might be, however, that the white politician or politicians who selected "our leader" for us were controlled by altruistic motives of the most benevolent kind. Of course they know better than we what is best for us in politics and are ever running after us to hand us some of the very best prizes. Well anyway some of these amiable gentlemen who have such a tender regard for the political interests of our race selected "our leader" for us four years ago, and he has been in the saddle ever since. Some say that he selected himself, because, they say, he is always declaring that he is "our leader," much like the small school boy who having drawn on his slate a very crude picture of a horse writes under it, "This is a horse," for fear one might not recognize it to be such. But I am inclined to think that is a deliberate slander on the gentleman. One thing however I am sure of. He was not chosen by the colored race, who ought to have something to say about who should represent or lead them. They were not consulted on the subject, nor has this leadership been at any time acquised in by the intelligent workers or the rank and file of the voters. It has caused more dissatisfaction and has made and is making more colored democratic voters than any one other --- --- The writer was at a loss to know why a man of no education whatever and of such limited general intelligence should be posing as "our leader" and claiming to be recognized as such by the managers of the Republican machine. But this was explained a couple of months ago to his perfect understanding if not satisfaction. He was one of a committee who had a conference with one of these gentlemen on a matter quite aside from politics when this question came up incidentally. We were frankly told that he had the ear of this particular gentleman because he had known him for many years as janitor at the capitol and had supposed he was satisfactory as 15 Sir William H. leader, no one having made any complaints or raised any objections. He evidently was O. K. to this gentleman, just the proper man in every respect in the proper place, a man of few words and fewer ideas, who would say yes or no whenever those monosyllables were required of him, without any relation to their effect, and who would offer no protest to any denial of the fairly recognized rights and claims of those he pretended to represent. Why should not such a leader be acceptable to the individuals of the other race who appointed him? He served them well, he fulfilled the terms of his contract, he executed his mission. But it is because his service as "our leader" has been plainly detrimental to the interests of the race that he is being opposed by every intelligent voter, except it may be two or three DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, AUGUST 1, 1908. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, AUGUST 1, 1908. BISHOP ABRAHAM GRANT of his "advisory committee." In another article will be traced some of the more conspicuous evils of this leadership. It would take more space in this paper than might be proper and more time than can be spared at this writing to follow the evolution of this straw boss, for after all we must admit that he is nothing but a straw boss slavishly executing the orders of the real bosses. Those who may have forgotten it must be reminded of the fact that "our leader." although first appointed by a Republican administration to the position of janitor at the capitol served in the same capacity under two distinct Democratic administrations. Now the civil service rules did not apply to those positions, so one can figure out under what terms and conditions he could continue to maintain himself The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text or details. It appears to be a close-up of a person's face, but no identifiable features or characteristics can be discerned. in that position, which was regarded as representative so far as our race is concerned. As a matter of fact he made himself very active in aiding in his way to prevent the return of the Republican party to power in this state. When however after years of defeat which he helped to make certain the party showed unmistakable signs of winning again "our leader" had the effrontery to present himself as a candidate for the legislature. But "that is another story" which will be touched upon in our next. So that it would seem that to be recognized by a certain brand of Republican managers as a great leader of colored Republicans one must have had a long training in the Democratic camp. This is a very suggestive and inspiring living object lesson for colored Republicans in this presidential year. BISHOPGRANT Describes Migratory Progress of the Race. Search for Justice and Education. Many Negroes Coming to Colorado, California, and Washington. Immigration of Negroes from the south to Colorado, California and Washington is now steadily in progress and promises to continue, according to Bishop Abraham Grant of the Western diocese of the African Methodist Episcopal church, one of the most prominent leaders among the colored people in America. He is a member of the board of trustees of the Anna T. Jeans Foundation fund which amounts to $1,000,000 and which is being devoted to the education of the Negroes in the ex-slave states. Among the other trustees are William H. Taft, Andrew Carnegie and Booker T. Washington. As bishop of the eleven states which are included in the territory between St. Louis, San Francisco, and Puget Sound, the Rev. Grant is particularly conversant with the flow of Negro immigration to the West. Three principal reasons are assigned by him as the causes of it and they all bear directly upon the most fundamental questions of the "Negro problem." Many of those who can afford to do so come to the new sections simply to enable them to secure a better education for their children and in doing so are working in the most efficient way for the improvement of their race. In the southern states the educational facilities are so poor that many of those who desire to cannot send their children to good schools. A second cause of their coming as ascribed by the bishop, is the expectation of securing the actual privilege of exercising their right of franchise. Voting in the south is a difficult proposition for the majority of the Negroes, for strict qualifications are required and enforced. This alone may prompt much of the migration but the hope of obtaining absolute justice in the courts. if they are unfortunate enough to have to appear before the bench, dealt impartially to both whites and colored people induces many of the latter to search for different homes. At the same time, it is the higher class of the southern Negroes who are traveling westward, for only those with some money and considerable ambition can do so. "Undoubtedly," the bishop said yesterday, "feeling against our race has been increasing during the last ten years in the south. We are able only, however, to teach our people to live straightforward lives, be industrious, honest and persev- NO. 45. ering, and leave the final analysis to God. Prejudices cannot be explained away; they exist and all we can do is to work in our own way. That is what we are trying to accomplish with the Jeans fund, educate the Negroes in the rural districts, especially in an industrial manner." LARGEST ENTERPRISE OF ITS KIND EVER INSTITUTED. This fund has only been devoted actively to the work for a little over a year since the death of the donor in Philadelphia. Prof. Dillard of Tulane university in Louisiana has been put in charge of the operations of the fund by the board of trustees and has been engaged in the labor for six months. It is the largest undertaking of the kind that has ever been instituted and the report of the first year's results will be anxiously awaited as numerous prominent wealthy persons throughout the country have expressed the intention of contributing sums to further the movement if the foundation fund proves successful. It was Bishop Grant who conferred with President Roosevelt concerning the appointment of Dr. W. T. Vernon as registrar of the United States treasury. The latter was president of the school for colored students known as Western university at Quindaro, Kas., of which the bishop is president of the board of trustees. The last legislature of Kansas appropriated $55,-800 to the institution. Bishop Grant has had a wide experience in his service of the A. M. E. church. Although sixty years old he is still energetic in his labors and never tires in doing something toward benefiting not only those Negroes who come under the jurisdiction of his diocese but others as well. He has held a bishopric for twenty years and has been active in the church for thirty-five. In 1900 he conducted the conferences in Liberia and the Honduaras Islands while during the course of his activities in the United States he has presided over one-third of the country.—Denver Republican. Thomas Johnson, as Afro-American and a window-washer, of the new Amsterdam Theatre, New York, in conjunction with I. Fluegeiman, has invented an automatic window-washer which can be operated by hand or electricity. It does away with the danger attendant on washing windows on the outside by hand. --- Straighten Your Hair DEAR Stars!—I have used only one bottle of your pomade and now I would not be without it for it makes my hair soft and straight and easy to comb and also starts a new growth. —I Harriman, Tenn.

MADE IN Tivoli DENVER, COLO The part that parasites play in checking and preventing the ravages of insects which injure and destroy shade trees, grain, fruit and other vegetable products is now so well recognized that it seems the matter of getting rid of any particular sort of pest is merely a question of finding the right kind of parasite. The fruit growers of Australia have just had a convincing object-lesson. A noted entomologist found in India the parasite which would do the trick, but the difficulty was to overcome the difference in seasons and climates between India and Australia. The problem was solved finally by putting the parasites to sleep and then transporting them to Australia, where they went to work in the good old summer time quite as if on their native heath. It seems like a mean trick to play on the little creatures, but doubtless this was a case where the end justified the means. If the pests would not come to the parasites, the parasites, Mahomet-like, could be made to conform to circumstances and go to the pests. Anyway, science scores another way of escape from the lilies to which the vegetable kingdom is heir. Disappointed Friendship. In the matter of friendship, I have observed that disappointments arises chiefly, not from liking our friends too well, or thinking of them too highly, but rather from an over-estimate of their liking for an opinion of us; and that if we guard ourselves with sufficient scrupulousness of care from error in that direction, and can be content and even happy to give more affection than we receive, we may manage to go through life with consistency and constancy, unembittered by that misanthropy which springs from revulsions of feeling. — Charlotte Bronte.

WESTERN NEWS. John G. Shortail, founder of the American Humane Association, and its president for many years, died at Chicago June 23rd, aged seventy. Reported black rust in the wheat fields of the Northwest caused an advance of more than 1 cent in the price of wheat on the Chicago exchange. The American Mutual Insurance Association will hold its annual meeting at Des Moines Aug. 11th-16th. Representatives of 2,000 mutual fire, tornado and hail companies, representing over $1,000,000,000 of insurance at risk, will attend. Chairman Mack of the Democratic national committee has announced that branch headquarters, with John E. Osborn, national committeeman from Wyoming in charge, will be opened in Denver the last part of the presidential campaign. The Aero Club of Columbus, Ohio, has been formed with nineteen charter members, and will send a committee to Chicago to ask the federation of American Aero clubs to select Columbus for the international balloon race to be held this fall. A fire which started in the stables of the Oregon Transfer Company at the corner of Fifth and Hoyt streets in Portland Tuesday, destroyed an area equivalent to four blocks and caused a loss estimated at a quarter of a million dollars. The buildings destroyed were mostly frame stables and small shops. The Manitoba government has announced that 30,000 men are needed to harvest the wheat crop in western Canada and has recommended to the governors of jails that all men in prison for vagrancy and other minor offenses be released early next month, on condition that they work in the harvest fields. The Supreme Court of Minnesota has sustained the inebriate hospital law of 1907. The law provides that two per cent. of the proceeds of all liquor licenses issued by the municipalities shall be paid into the state treasury to be held as a fund for the establishment and maintenance of a hospital for inebriates. The Big Piney Live Stock Association in Wyoming has posted a reward of $1,000 for the arrest and conviction of the person who recently murdered Andrew Coleman, an aged ranchman, at his home near Big Piney. It is believed that Coleman was put out of the way because he was an important witness in a cattle stealing case. Charles W. Bryan remitted on Wednesday to Governor Haskell, treasurer of the National Democratic committee, $1,504.95, given by 101 contributors to the campaign fund. Governor Haskell telegraphed that two hours after his selection as treasurer had been announced, 2,780 was contributed by sixty-two local residents. This sum, he stated, came without solicitation. On account of rate and publicity rulings of the Interstate Commerce Commission, the Canadian Pacific, Great Northern, Northern Pacific, Southern Pacific, Oregon Short Line and Santa Fe roads have served notice upon shippers that they will go out of the export trade to China, Japan, Australia and New Zealand November 1st, and practically will abandon the import trade. It is feared that this will cause the abandonment of all the Oriental steamship lines, which, it is predicted, will fall into the hands of the Japanese. GENERAL NEWS At the international regatta at Havre Sir Thomas Lipton's Shamrock won the race for seventy-footers. Earl Roberts, the famous British general, will visit Winnipeg Aug. 10th and will later go west as far as Banaff in the Rockies. The cholera that has made its appearance in Russia this year is most virulent. According to investigations made by a distinguished medical authority, the sanitary conditions in the Volga towns are horrible. The imperial yacht club of Kiel, Germany, will send three Congerclasse yachts to Marblehead, Mass., in August, 1909 for a series of races with any three American special raters that they may be presented. The trials are open to all American clubs under the auspices of the Eastern Yacht club. Under the motto, "Resistance to Tyranny Is Service to Humanity and a Necessity of Civilization," the Hindus of the northwest, numbering some 5,000 or 6,000, are perfecting an organization with headquarters in Seattle, the object of which is "spreading popular and scientific education in Hindustan," but which in reality, it is declared, aims toward the overthrow of the British government in India. Rev. E. C. Dinwiddle of Springfield, Ohio, legislative superintendent of the National Anti-Slaon league, has accepted an invitation to conduct a parliamentary campaign in England for local option after the American plan. Walter Goodwin, a farmer, who at the last term of the county court at Hopkinsville, Kentucky, gave the names of seven men, who, with himself, composed a "night rider" squadron at Central Furnace, was shot from ambush and seriously wounded while returning home a few nights since. Until recently he had been under the constant protection of militia. Four carloads of strikebreakers were placed in the mines in the Birmingham, Alabama, district Wednesday under military escort. There was no trouble. A caravan that has arrived at Lhassa from Leh, in the valley of the Indus, brings a report that Sven Hedin, the Swedish explorer, is in good health and that his caravan is in good condition. The sporting committee of the Automobile Club at Paris has decided to hold the next grand prix competition in 1909. It is probable that the Dieppe course will be abandoned for the course at Anjou. The German automobile in the New York to Paris motor car contest arrived in Berlin at noon July 24th. It was the first car to come into Berlin and apparently is days ahead of its nearest competitor. Passengers arriving at San Francisco from Central American ports report that a state of anarchy exists in Guatemala. Murder is of frequent occurrence, they declare, and many persons are fleeing the country. W. F. Walker, who looted the Savings Bank of New Britain, Connecticut, of more than $500,000 worth of securities, has been sentenced to twenty-one years in the penitentiary upon four counts on which he pleaded guilty. After a seven-hour conference with William J. Bryan and John W. Kern at Chicago the subcommittee of the national Democratic committee Saturday chose Norman E. Mack of Buffalo, New York, as chairman of the committee. The game of baseball has been responsible for six deaths in Pittsburgh, Pa., and its suburbs during the past three months. The latest is that of a babe that was struck by a ball while in the arms of its sister in a field where boys were at play. Following up his crusade against the appearance of unclothed women in the Paris theaters, Prefect of Police Lepine has given orders that the sale of obscene pictures on the boulevards, which has been for so long a disgrace to the city, be rigorously suppressed. The establishment producing these pictures will be prosecuted. The Portoguese government, according to the newspapers at Lisbon, has discovered and frustrated a widespread Republican plot for an uprising scheduled for the anniversary of the abortive revolt of July 28, which was suppressed by ex-Premier Franco. The announcement follows a large number of mysterious arrests made recently. The members and officials of the American Athletic team that competed in the Olympic games with such success have received many cablegrams at London asking that the team return home in a body so that a general reception can be held upon its arrival in New York. This will be impossible, as the athletes are already widely scattered. In the international athletic contests which were held at Berlin July 27th, J. D. Lightbody, University of Chicago, and W. W. May, University of Illinois, participated and their work aroused much enthusiasm. Lightbody easily defeated Paterson of Sweden in the 1,500 meters flat, and later won the 800 meters flat against thirty-seven competitors, giving them a start of sixty-five meters. May easily won the 100 meters handicap run. Announcement has been made by Frank H. Hitchcock, chairman of the National Republican committee, that the following will constitute the committee: Charles F. Brooker, Connecticut; T. Coleman Dupont, Delaware; William E. Borah, Idaho; Frank O. Lowden, Illinois; Charles Nagel, Missouri; Victor Rosewater, Nebraska; William L. Ward, New York; Edward C. Duncan, North Carolina, and Boies Penrose, Pennsylvania. NEWS FROM WASHINGTON. Assistant Surgeon Bacon, United States navy, has been detached from duty at the naval hospital, New Fort Lyon, Colorado, and ordered to duty on the cruiser South Dakota. Satisfactory assurances have been given the navy department by the officials and citizens of New London, Connecticut, that there will be no further discrimination against the enlisted men of the navy or the uniform of the United States in the places of public amusement in that city. In response to an invitation extended by the United States government in behalf of the Geological Survey, Great Britain, Germany and Belgium will send to this country in August their leading experts in the prevention of mine disasters to aid in the inauguration of the work here. Attorney-General Bonaparte announced that every effort will be made to secure a revision of the recent decision and opinion of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals in the case of the Standard Oil Company of Indiana, and that an application for a re-argument of the case, and a motion for a modification of the opinion will be submitted to the court. The secretary of the interior has approved for patent to the state of Colorado list No. 11 of land selected under school grant, embracing 21,190 acres in the Denver district. Part of these lands are within the boundaries of the Park Range national forest, but the state selection was made prior to the creation of the national forest, and therefore the patent will issue to the state. The secretary also approved for patent to the state of Colorado list No. 7 of school land selections, embracing 1,591 acres in the Hugo district. Col. Thomas W. Symons, corps of engineers, was placed on the retired lise of the army on the 30th ult. on his application, after more than thirty-seven years of service. Colonel Symons is now employed on the New York State Canal Commission. He was formerly superintendent of public buildings and grounds in Washington. Presidency Roosevelt has accepted the honorary presidency of the Peace and Arbitration League, which is the outgrowth of the North Carolina congress and which has as its object adequate armament and effective arbitration.

SAVAGE FLING AT AUDIENCE. Inebriated Orator Resented Disapproval of His Condition. "Like many a statesman of the past," said Senator Beveridge, "he drank too much. And one Fourth of July morning, on a platform hung with flags and flowers before the courthouse of a country town, facing an audience of farmers and their families that had come from miles around, the statesman arose to deliver the Independence day oration in a slightly intoxicated state. "He was not incapable of an oration, but his unsteady gait, his flushed face and disordered attire spoke ill of him, and the audience hissed. "He held up his hand. They were silent. Then he laughed scornfully and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, when a statesman of my prominence consents to appear in such a little, one-horse town as this, he must be either drunk or crazy. I prefer to be considered an inebriate."—Washington Star. Proof Positive. There is usually some convincing argument to a question of doubt, if one is only bright enough to think of it at the time of controversy. The farmer was able to produce the indisputable without delay of circumlocution. A number of people were gathered 'round the bulletin board of the Reading Eagle, on which was announced "Death of Frank Miller." Two farmers from the extreme backwoods were gazing at the various items of news, when one of them spied the lugubrious statement, and pointing it out to his rustic comrade, remarked innocently: "It says on that board: 'Death of Frank Miller.' Is that you?" "No," replied the other, in all seriousness. "My name is John." What Women Have Done. Mrs. M. F. Johnston of Richmond, Ind., gave an interesting account at the Boston biennial of the G. F. W. C. of the Art association of that city, which is ten years old. Five hundred dollars is appropriated each year for the purchase of a picture, and the council gives $100 for the annual exhibition. The standard in pictures and crafts has changed, she says, and in the next few years much is expected that will give the children the opportunity of greater culture and knowledge of art. Real Philosopher. Philosophy, says Jerome K. Jerome, is the art of bearing other people's troubles. The truest philosopher he ever heard of was a woman. She was brought into the London hospital suffering from a poisoned leg. The house surgeon made a hurried examination. He was a man of blunt speech. "It will have to come off," he told her. "What, not all of it?" "The whole of it, I'm sorry to say," growled the house surgeon. "Nothing else for it?" "No other chance for you whatever," explained the house surgeon.

With the loss of health one's income is liable to shrink, if not entirely I windle away. When a young lady has to make her own living, good health is her best asset. "I am alone in the world," writes a Chicago girl, "dependent on my own efforts for my living. I am a clerk, and about two years ago through close application to work and a boarding house diet, I became a nervous invalid, and got so bad off it was almost impossible for me to stay in the office a half day at a time.

Denver, Colo BUILDING TO FORT COLLINS PROGRESS OF THE DENVER, LAR AMIE AND NORTHWESTERN RAILROAD BUYS TIES AND RAILS COMPLETION OF FIFTEEN MILES OF GRADE OUT FROM DENVER. Denver.—The Times Wednesday evening says: The Denver, Laramie & Northwestern, the new railroad projected from this city through Fort Collins and Granger to Seattle, has let the contract to the Continental Tie and Lumber Company of Houston, Texas, for 120,000 cross ties for use in constructing the new line. That order will be sufficient to lay seventy miles of track and will aggregate 450 carloads. The shipping of the order has begun and seventy-two carloads have already been distributed along the route as far as graded. The company has also placed an order with the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company for its steel rails. These rails will be eighty-five-pound weight, the same as is used by the bigger transcontinental roads. The company has also made the appropriations for the purchase of the equipment necessary to operate the first division of the road. About fifteen miles of the grade out of Denver has been completed and there are now several hundred men at work in the various camps. The new company has taken almost half of the fifth floor of the Ernest & Cranmer building for its general offices and now has about sixteen rooms in use for the various departments. Plans are under way for the rushing of the work on the grades and it is expected that trains will be operated into Fort Collins before the end of the year. Farmers Favor Reservoir Project. Glenwood Springs, Colo.-B. T. Napier, Monday night addressed the land owners of Cattle Creek in reference to the proposed Spring Park reservoir, the building of which is now in contemplation by the government. He told the farmers that one of the conditions to be exacted by the government was that only 160 acres could be owned by one man under the reservoir. All the farmers agreed to this, and the Cattle River Association was formed, with Napier as president. The site has been surveyed. E. E. Rittenhouse, state insurance commissioner, has been invited to speak before the National Fraternal Congress, which meets August 17-19 at Put-in-Bay, Mich. The question of rates will be one of the principal subjects for discussion, and it will be along this line that the Colorado commissioner will address the congress. Four Million Trout. Denver.—Four million Colorado trout will be placed in the streams of this state this fall, according to General Superintendent of State Fish Hatcheries W. S. Kinkaid, who has just completed the work of collecting the spawn of the native trout in Marvine and Trapper's lakes. The eggs have been distributed among the various hatcheries of the state, and it will take from thirty to forty days for them to hatch, according to the temperature of the water. About 4,400,000 eggs were taken from the trout and fully 4,000,000 of these will hatch and the minnows will be large enough to be transplanted in the many trout streams of Colorado early in the fall. Pitkin County Official Arrested. Aspen, Colo. —William H. McNichols, assessor of Pitkin county, and one of the best known and most popular officials of this section was arrested Wednesday on a charge of embezzlement. The warrant on which he was taken into custody was sworn to by members of the board of county commissioners and specifically charges the theft of $1,100 while McNichols was treasurer. A second warrant charges him with falling to turn over $3,000 in his hands to his successor two years ago. This action is the result of the report of an investigating committee recently appointed by the commissioners to examine the books of the treasurer's office. Fort Morgan Daily Paper. Denver.—A Fort Morgan dispatch of July 28th says: Beginning next Monday this place will have a daily paper. The Fort Morgan Times believes the city of sufficient size to justify this move and Monday the first issue of the Evening Times will make its appearance. The growth of the city the past year has been so great that many citizens believe a daily should be started. Greeley Dogs Unmuzzled Denver.—A Greeley dispatch says: The order issued April 23rd by Mayor Green to chain or muzzle all dogs was rescinded July 27th. It is believed that the precaution saved injury and perhaps lives, for during the last three months twenty dogs have died from rabies in this locality and nearly as many have been shot because of showing symptoms of the disease. The rabies started from a mad coyote. Friends of Jesse Woods, the sixteen-year-old boy held for the United States District Court on a charge of robbing the postoffice at Colorado Springs of valuable checks and money orders, say that his downfall was caused by reading yellow novels of the "Diamond Dick" variety. Seven, and possibly eight, new schools will be opened in the eastern part of El Paso county this fall, near Ramah, Calhan, Widefield and other small towns. Another progressive step is the adoption of uniform text books throughout the county. J. D. CRACO Wines and Liquors for Medical Use Our Specialty. 3114 Osage St. Denver, Colo.

The annual convention of the American Bankers' Association will be held at Denver September 28th to October 3rd. Number 1, volume 1, of the Rocky Ford Daily Gazette, was published July 28th, with John Frazier, editor and publisher', and W. H. Butterfield, assistant manager. One thousand dollars has been appropriated by the city council of Denver to entertain the annual convention of the American Federation of Labor in September. At the opening of the Greeley Chautauqua assembly July 24th, Senator La Follette of Wisconsin spoke for four hours. Stranger still, the audience stayed to listen to him. The Colorado State Bankers' Association, at its meeting in Colorado Springs placed itself on record as opposed to government guarantee of deposits in national banks. Owing to the renewed business of the smelters, it is announced that the Eller smelter at Pueblo will be opened within two months. Machinery is being overhauled and new equipment installed. Lieutenant Governor Harper has appointed I. N. Janney water commissioner for district thirty-five, to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Max Atencio. Mr. Janney resides at Zapato in Costillo county. Street signs and house numbers are being placed at Fort Morgan and a large force is at work on cement crossings. In a few days the council hopes to be able to meet the requirements for free city delivery of mail. The first money order ever issued in Greeley is framed and hangs in the Greeley postoffice. It was sent by the late Niagara Hall, the first merchant of Greeley, to Jonas Harrington of western New York, and was for $8.50. The success of the Greeley Chautauqua assembly has been such that a plan is now being devised to have a permanent committee appointed among Greeley business men who will perfect an organization insuring Greeley a Chautauqua every year. Grant M. Lucy, for two terms county clerk of Routt county, died at Denver July 28th at the home of James M. Marvel. Death was caused by stomach trouble. He had been long a sufferer and a few days before his death underwent an operation. Mr. Lucy was one of the early settlers in Routt county. Four years ago he was elected county clerk of Routt and re-elected two years ago. A large party of negroes have made application at the Pueblo land office for homestead claims at Elliott, fifteen miles southeast of Fountain. The negroes are headed by A. Lyle, a well known colored man of Colorado Springs. They intend to cultivate land under the dry farming system and if more of the race can be induced to join them, will organize a co-operative colony. The Colorado Museum of Natural History at the city park in Denver, has been presented with the fine collection of minerals exhibited in the St. James hotel during the Democratic convention, by the Chamber of Commerce of Gilpin county. The exhibit weighs in aggregate six or eight tons and represents 100 or more mines in Gilpin county. Some of the specimens are exceedingly rare and valuable. Articles of incorporation of the consolidated roads of the Rio Grande Railway Company, including the Denver & Rio Grande and the Rio Grande Western Railway Companies, were filed with the Secretary of State at Denver Monday. The papers state that the new corporation is capitalized at $88,000,000. The papers were signed by the president of the company and the board of directors. The fees for filing were over $19,000. Three teachers have been added to the State Normal faculty for the coming year. They are Theophilus Fritz, who comes from the State University of Oklahoma to become the head of the musical department; W. T. Stephens of the State Normal school of Winona, Minnesota, who will conduct research work in the department of education, and John T. Lister of Cleveland, formerly a teacher in the school, who returns to take charge of the physical training department. The resumption of work by the many factories of the East and South has caused a good demand for the starch made by the Greeley factory last season and at satisfactory prices. Already 400,000 pounds of potato starch has gone to the Oxford and Adams cotton mills in Massachusetts, the mills at Seneca, S. C., and other eastern points. Other factories have ordered starch. Five carloads have gone to New York city to be re-ground and bolted for potato flour and sold to Germans. In anticipation of the heavy business expected to result from the completion of the Western Pacific, the Denver & Rio Grande is preparing to double track a considerable portion of its line between Salt Lake City and Pueblo. A surveying corps has been put in the field to locate a new track through the Royal Gorge and to make up the estimates of cost of the work. It is expected that tracks will be laid on both sides of the river through the gorge and that work will begin as soon as the financial plans under way for reorganizing the company are completed. The State Normal summer school at Greeley has closed its sessions after the most successful term in its history. Over 300 students attended the school and all did double work. The greater number of the students were teachers, principals and superintendents and many were from the East, preferring the Colorado school to the training schools in their own state. The Colorado State Bankers' Association closed its session at Colorado Springs Friday, electing the following officers: President, Gordon Jones, Denver; vice president, A. A. Reed, Boulder, and secretary and treasurer, G. L. Emerson, Silverton. [Name] JAS. F. CLARK. THE BEST ICE CREAM AND CANDIES AT CATERERS AND CONFECTIONERS Phone: 168. 1512 Curtis St., Denver, Colo. N.

To be sent to or than the doom of the serfs of Siberia and the Georgia newspapers are existent reserve. The end seems in sight, the system a great blot will be erased from an influence for the betterment of the south will be permanently established. The horrors of Georgia's convict lease system have been given wide publication in the past ten years and have given the people of Georgia a reputation for cruelty which has gone around the world and done much to check the otherwise progressive conditions which stood ready to aid the material progress of that state. With deaf ears and ready denials for the many reports of legalized atrocities connected with the system, the politicians of Georgia have told their constituents that the system was a virtuous and necessary arrangement which was profitable to the state and far less costly than the penitentiary systems of other states. But murder will out, even though it be done under the guise of law, and the protests and demands of the solid interests of the state for an investigation of the system, have increased until the legislature has finally taken action and set a committee to probing conditions in all the convict camps of the state, with the result that the system has been found to be even worse than it had been pictured. The great majority of the state's prisoners are Negroes, many of whom have been sent up on trifling charges. These prisoners are leased by the state to contractors, who work them under armed guard in labor camps of various kinds, with all of the worst and none of the better features of slavery attendant; they are huddled in stockades at night, both sexes and all ages mixed promiscuously, with no care or provision for their moral development; they are abused, beaten and even shot upon the whims of cruel overseers and the state has exercised no protective authority over them; the cruelties of the overseers have been equalled only by the moral neglect of the state authorities; and thus has the system bred in Georgia a nest of human depravity unmatched anywhere else in the United States. To be sent to the Georgia chain gang was worse than the doom of the serfs of Siberia. But the investigation is now on and the Georgia newspapers are exposing the direful conditions without reserve. The end seems in sight, and with the wiping out of such a system a great blot will be erased from the reputation of Georgia and an influence for the betterment of penal conditions throughout the South will be permanently established. CONTEMPT OF COURT. unt labor leaders of the United States, over the respective declarations of the law, what they call their anti-injunction or principles regarding the practice of acts against laborers in labor disputes, over proceedings for contempt of court to go on record as against the abuse of penalties following the breach of a cease it is agreed that laboring men's privileged. The Democrats profess to The prominent labor leaders of the United States appear to be very much exercised over the respective declarations of the two great political parties upon what they call their anti-injunction planks, by which they refer to their principles regarding the practice of courts in issuing restraining orders against laborers in labor disputes, and in enforcing those orders under proceedings for contempt of court. Both parties have pretended to go on record as against the abuse of these contempt proceedings as penalties following the breach of a courts arbitrary injunction, because it is agreed that laboring men's personal rights are thus unjustly sacrificed. The Democrats profess to be most indignant over this sacrifice of individual rights and are loudest in their claims of "equal rights to all and special privileges to none." Contempt proceedings, it is held by them, should be subject to hearing before a jury, and no man should be punished without evidence of an actual wrong committed. This is the substance of the professed Democratic principle. It is quite interesting to place against this profession the recently reported act of a Democratic judge in Delaware, who, though not a jurist of prominence, is of course an ardent supporter of Democratic doctrines. This so-called judge ordered that in his court, colored persons should not be dignified with the titles of Mr., Mrs., or Miss, by witnesses when testifying, and immediately enforced his order or injunction by fining a colored witness five dollars and costs for contempt of court, because he forgot the court's order and referred to a colored woman defendant as "Mrs." Johnson. This is a kind of injunction and contempt of court proceedings which is outside the meaning of the Democratic platform, but very much inside the belief of a large section of Democracy. But in every honest man's heart "contempt of court" would not begin to express the disgust felt for a judge who would make and enforce such an order. In this day of enlightenment and virtuous profession, such a misfit judge ought to be taken from his bench and soundly flogged into a saner understanding of the Democratic principles of the rights of individuals. Mr. H. H. Garner, a prominent colored citizen, who has been connected with the post office in Little Rock, Ark., since 1881, has been made Superintendent of Carriers of that city. This is said to be the only appointment of this character held by a colored man. Dr. A. M. Curtis, one of the race's foremost surgeons, has been designated by the department of the interior as a member of the staff of attending surgeons of Freedmen's Hospital, where he served with such eminent satisfaction as surgeon-in-chief for four years following his appointment in 1898. Prof. Roscoe Conkling Bruce, assistant superintendent of the Washington public schools, has declined the prooffered appointment as principal of the Sumner high school at St. Louis, made vacant some months ago by the death of Prof. A. E. Langston. It is probable that the place will be tendered Prof. Frank L. Williams, of Covington, Ky. The city of Washington is congratulating itself upon the assurance that Prof. Bruce will remain here. Albany, Ga., July 17.—In spite of his own prediction made several months ago that adverse weather conditions had hurt his "first bale" prospects for this season, Deal La Jackson, Dougherty county's well known Negro farmer, broght in the first bale of 1908 cotton this afternoon. He heats last year's record by two days. Deal Jackson has been the "first bale" farmer of Georgia for twelve or fifteen years, and during that time has not lost his title for even one season. James A. Thompson, a fine clarionetist and an army musician of fifteen years experience, has been appointed chief musician of the Ninth Cavalry band. On March 16th of this year Elbert Williams, formerly leader of Tuskegee Institute band, was appointed chief musician of the Twenty-fifth Infantry at $60 per month, and only several weeks ago Thos. C. Hammonds was put in charge of the Tenth Cavalry band. These positions heretofore have been held by white musicians. Beaumont, Texas. July 20.—As the result of excitement coming from the alleged attempted assault on a young white girl, two Negro amusement parks in the North End of the city, near the scene of the crime were last week set on fire and burned to the ground. Fully 2,000 people were attracted by the flames. There is intense feeling against the Negroes and an outbreak would not be surprising. Poses are still in the woods searching for the Negro, but as far as has been learned in Beaumont nothing leading to a trace of the Negro has been found. The officers are arresting all idle Negroes. The damage by fire is about $4,000. Rockford, Ill., July 18.—Isaac W. Bess, colored, janitor of the Manufacturers' National Bank, according to the police, stole $8,000 from the bank vault this forenoon. Bess carried off the money in a satchel when the bank closed at 12:30 for the half holiday. The robbery was discovered a few minutes after, and three hours later Chief of Police Bargen found Bess hiding at the home of Lew Harris, in the western part of the city. All of the money was recovered. He told the police he took the money because he needed it. In addition to the package containing $8000 Bess took $420 in unsigned currency, to part of which he had forged the name of N. F. Thompson, president, and Belknap Mulford, cashier. Bess has been active in the African Methodist church and expected to be ordained a preacher next fall. St. Louis, Mo.—"Speak softly and carry a big stick" seems to be the policy of the colored people in the northwest section of St. Louis, better known as Elliotsville. The Board of Education was preparing to move the high school from its present location to the more desirable one in Elliotsville whom a few uneducated Negro hating white people filed a protest against the building of the school and these same ungrateful white people were depending on the colored people for a living, most of them being merchants. But the table was turned, and the self-respecting colored people have declared a boycott on every merchant who signed the petition and already some of them are facing failure and the colored merchant's business is improving. This is the right way to teach respect; when they discriminate, let the colored people discriminate with their dollars. Washington, July 16.—A crusade against unclean restaurants here has resulted in the arrest of 29 proprietors. Only one proprietor was commended for the condition of his establishment. The work has just begun under Health Officer Woodard and all of the 649 eating establishments of the city will be closely inspected. Out of 102 lunch rooms inspected only seven were found to be in that condition of cleanliness required by law. One popular eating house, that feeds hundreds daily and was supposed to be extra clean, was said by the health officer to have the foulest kitchen and the worst sanitary conditions he ever saw. The next surprise was made in a 5 and 10 cent oyster and clam shop kept by a colored man, which Dr. Motter, chief inspector, said was the cleanest place imaginable. The floor, Dr. Motter said was scrubbed so clean it looked too good to walk on. BISHOP GRANT'S VIEWS. We publish below a special telegram from the New York World to Bishop A. Grant asking his views on the political situation. The Bishop as usual gives his views in a frank fearless manner: (Copy of Telegram) New York, July 12, 1908, Bishop Abraham Graut, 532 Washington Ave. Kansas City, Kans. We will be very grateful if you will telegraph at our expense your views on the coming campaign as it affects your people. What affect will the Brownsville matter have upon the candidacy of Taft? Democratic platform is about as the Republican plank, demanding equal justice and suffrage for the colored people. What is the probable sentiment of your people concerning Bryan and the principles he advocates? Wire at any length you desire. Thank you in advance. Editor of the World. (Answer.) Editor of The World, New York City. In the estimation of the colored people, as far as I know, Mr. Bryan is regarded as being fair minded. Many of the principles that he represents and his late declarations are acceptable, but the disposition of Democrats, where they control state governments, to disfranchise the colored voters makes his party objectionable. Considering the treatment of that party in the past, the declaration in the platform is too general. One scarcely knows how to construe it. Had they been more definite, the results in the election would be more pronounced in their favor. When it is thoroughly understood that Mr. Taft held up the Brownsville order and at the same time asked the president to postpone action, it will give him strength with the colored voters. A.

The Colorado State Negro Business League's promoting committee held its second meeting in their office, 329 Kittredge building, Denver, Colorado, Monday, July 27, 1908, at 10 o'clock a.m. Much business of importance was passed upon. The secretary was ordered to open correspondence with a number of prominent and influential men and women of the U. S. A., soliciting their financial backing for the District and Townsite Company. Books for soliciting subscriptions to the capital stock are in the hands of the committee. Anyone who is interested in establishing a district and town owned by our people can subscribe for shares, but you are not required to pay for sald shares until thirty days after the company shall have been organized. Mr. H. Franklin Bray, the traveling representative for the committee, will by request, visit any city or town in the state and explain the object and plan of this enterprise. Great care will be used in securing subscription to the capital stock. If you are not in reach of any one of the committee, you may write to the secretary, J. B. Holmes, Boulder, Colorado, and he will gladly give you all of the information you desire. If you are interested and wish to subscribe to the capital stock, you may subscribe for as many shares as you want. The shares are one dollar each, full paid and non-assessable. Remember, you are not to send any money until the company has been organized and incorporated. The committee has selected The Colorado Statesman and Western Enterprise as its official organs. Other papers desiring official news concerning the workings of the committee may write to the secretary. O. T. Jackson, Boulder, Colo. Joseph H. Stuart, Denver, Colo. H. Franklin Bray, Onley, Colo.

In the short space allotted us, it would be impossible for us to attempt to detail all the work and success which was reported to the public during the sessions of the United Order of True Reformers. We desire only to call your attention to the meetings as they occurred, with a little comment on the reception Wednesday night. Sunday the second annual sermon, "Unvelling of Life," a most powerful message, was delivered by Rev. A. M. Ward at Shorter's chapel. Reverends Beckham, Brown, Reynolds, Holmes and the Hon. Rt. Rev. Bishop Grant each paid a high compliment to that growing institution which has and is destined to lead all such commercial bodies among the Negroes. The Bishop was very much elated and earnest about the good and financial standing the institution was doing for the Negro. The music was furnished by the True Reformer choir of which Mrs. Lillie Moore was chorister and Miss Gertie Nichols organist. The following program was rendered: Selection, choir; Invocation, Rev. A. E. Reynolds; after which in a very eloquent, practical and intelligent manner the Worthy Rosebud Lecturer, in the person of Mrs. Lue Ella Young, delivered a very strong address, touching nearly every phase of the Rosebud work. Mrs. L. E. Cash, division secretary, made her report of the following year until the present time, in which she disclosed 9 fountains, 4 Rosebud nurseries, 340 senior members, 184 children, which had been taught the seven principles of the order, together with the raising of $882.25 for one branch alone. Mrs. Lillian H. Jones completely electrified the house for fully five minutes with her selection, "Dream of Paradise," which proved itself to be truly a dream. The short, pointed and weighty remarks delivered by Rev. W. L. Anderson, Deputy-General, was very well taken. The Chief of Denver division introduced his chief in a very appropriate manner. Monday night nineteen new members were initiated into the order. Tuesday night a public meeting was held at Zion Baptist church. Wednesday a grand reception was tendered to our distinguished guests. Never has there been so much refreshments and delicacies prepared and served on any former occasion as was served Wednesday night. Mrs. Isabella Stewart delivered a welcome address to the Rosebud Lecturer and Deputy-General. Responses were made by each respectively. The Deputy-General detailed the work of this grand organization, and with facts, figures and results vividly impressed the attentive audience of the great possibilities of the order. Chief Cash was complimented for his grand work for the growth and betterment of the order. Mrs. Lue Ella Young spoke at length, showing how vitally necessary it was to properly train the youth, giving them the much-needed fundamentals in business life. Her remarks were well chosen and roundly applauded. She invited all the True Reformers to her home and requested them not to come all at the same time. Responses were made by Messrs. A. L. Davis, H. B. Brown, Chief Cash. J. R. Conte acted as toastmaster. After exchanging a few pleasantries, the wee hours caught the happy band departing to their homes. CARD OF THANKS.

The illustration to the left shows a very smart costume that would look well made up in a dull elephant gray cloth. The skirt is high-waisted, and has a train, it is trimmed with gray satin ribbon to simulate an over-skirt. The coat is fastened with a single button under a rosette of the ribbon just on the bust, it then slopes off to the back; the collar and cuffs are of pale gray cloth, trimmed with ribbon. The sleeve is plain, but has an epaulette on the top. Teque of gray crinoline, trimmed with a shaded feather. The other neat little costume is made up in royal blue Venetian cloth. The skirt consists of thirteen gores, the seams of which are wrapped. The coat is a semi-fitting sack, reaching just below the hips, a piece of silk is let in between the side and front seam; tabs of the material are placed over it, in the point of each tab a silk-covered button is sewn, the waistcoat reaches down just to the waist, and is fastened by silk-covered buttons; the collar also is of silk. The plain coat sleeve set into a silk cuff at the wrist. Straw hat, trimmed with roses, and foliage. HAVE THE MONOGRAM FAD. Initials on Everything Is the Rule Now with the Girls. VOILES IN PRETTY DESIGNS. Popular Summer Material Is of All Shades and Colorings. Girls have gone monogram mad might be thought by the way initials are in evidence! The background may be silk, satin or wash material; it may be leather or metal; in some way or another the owner's monogram is introduced, and by no means inconspicuously either. On purses the letters are governed entirely by the size of the portmonnaile, but as a rule the initials are detached rather than being run together. Traveling bags for girls who will move about this summer are not considered equipped until the owner's initials are put on. For this the letters are as plain as those in the alphabet of a child, and each is separate. They are placed quite near the top, at the middle of the side. Occasionally they are to be seen on the end, but this is regarded as a freak. Brass letters are preferred to those of nickel. The newest key rings that girls may have for themselves or use as gifts end in a single initial letter. The plain cushions for hammocks or lounging chairs are embellished in huge initials, sometimes of brass. In the latter case they are thin, though wide, and when on a tan leather background are certainly decorative. Wash blouses show the monogram done, preferably in small letters, on the left side of the front; hosiery has a single letter on the instep. Trimmed Skirt Favorites. Now that it is the fashion to trim the bottom of the skirt with one deep fold every woman seems to be adopting it, whether it is becoming or not. Decidedly it is not when the wearer is short or unduly stout, as it cuts the height, the wearer's height apparently ending where the fold begins. If, however, she will slash the deep fold in several places, and round off every corner, she will be able to wear this up-to-date style most successfully. Only a small detail, but a most important one. CHARMING COIFFURE. 1 Composed of a long spray of silver apple blossoms twined in and out of the hair. VOILES IN PRETTY DESIGNS. Popular Summer Material Is of All Shades and Colorings. The new silk volleys are in countless pretty designs. Over a foundation of black, green, blue, light and dark, are large and small squares, marked off in thin white lines. On the edge, to be used as trimming, are four or five satin bands of different widths, in the plain color. A silk volle in squares of black and white has on its border four bands of black velvet edged with orange, peacock blue or cherry. The most exclusive houses are using this material, each one usually confining itself to one color. Quite unusual is the volle of natter blue, lined off with white. Woven in the border is a cashmere band, the colors harmonizing beautifully with the shade of blue. A red volle, stamped with white lozenges, with a cashmere band framed in lines of white, is wholly charming made up with a tunic skirt and low, sleeveless bodice over a white guilme. -From a Paris Letter. Well Groomed Hands. A well groomed hand is a rarity, even though many people are careful about the nails. The hands show age much quicker than the face, for few people spend as much time on the hands as they do on the face, and then the hands are in water more than the face, with the result that they are drier and more apt to wrinkle. Soft and white hands are best acquired by night treatment. Use a toilet cream that agrees with the skin, and rub it in thoroughly before retiring, being especially careful to rub and massage the knuckles well. Then slip on a loose pair of gloves to keep the cream on the hands. Red hands are caused by poor circulation and often by tight cuffs or bracelets. Small gloves often make the hands red and leave marks on them from the seams in the gloves. The only way to effect a cure is to remove the cause. New Color Combinations. Orange and gray is one of the newest combinations. A superb gown of gray mousseline de sole is made over an underdress of orange satin—satin as sort as the mousseline. The skirt is closely gathered and plaited back and front, falling loosely from the belt posed unusually high. The plaits are, however, fastened extremely close, freed only below the knees. A wide band of silver embroidery, done in gray fillet in relief, breaks the line of the skirt; from back and front the band of embroidery meets on the sides and mounts to the belt line. The corsage is composed of the embroidery. Coat of Black Silk Muslim A stunning long coat is made of black silk muslin, braided all over with white. Wide white silk braid outlines the edges, forms odd strappings and finishes the elbow sleeves with quaint bows. The back is very short-waisted and is finished with big gold buttons. Stockings with Tap Shoes Nowadays if one wants to be ultra smart one must have dark blue stockings with one's tan shoes.

HISGEN FOR PRESI- DENT; JOHN TEMPLE GRAVES FOR VICE PRESIDENT. HEARST'’S CONVENTION A RADICAL PLATFORM CHARGES ALL EVILS TO THE TWO OLD PARTIES. gen of Massachusetts. Vice president, John Temple Graves of Georgia. The above ticket was nominated Tuesday night by the Independence party at its first national convention. The friends of Mr. Bryan made an effort during the night session to bring his name before the convention, and the man who attempted it nearly pro- duced a riot and narrowly escaped physical violence at the hands of the indignant delegates. The man who sought to place Mr. Bryan in nomination was J. I, Shepard of Fort Scott, Kansas. He did not succeed in his thission, for being called to order by the convention and ques: tioned by Chairman Charles A.Walsh, he admitted that it was his intention to name Mr. Bryan. This was the first and last time he mentioned the name of the Democratic leader, He was promptly ruled out ot order by the chairman and under the guard of several sergeants-atarms he was hustled out of the hall, while some of the incensed delegates vainly at- tempted to strike him with fists, and one of them swung at him savagely with a cane, The nomination of Mr. Hisgen was made on the third ballot, his chief competitors being Milford W. Howard of Alabama and John Temple Graves of Georgia, Reuben R. Lyon of New York received a complimentary yote on, the first ballot and William RB. Hearst had forty-nine friends who voted for him on the first two ballots. The nomination of Mr. Graves was made unanimous, all the other can- didates having been withdrawn, The platform adopted is in part as follows: “We, iidependent American citi- zens, representing the Independence party in forty-four states and two ter- ritories, have met in national conven tion to nominate, absolutely independ- ent of all other parties, candidates for president and vice president o; the United States. “Our action is based upon a 4«cer. mination to wrest the conduct of public affairs from the heads of selfish inter- ests, political tricksters and corrupt bosses, and make the government, as the founders intended, an agency for ‘thé common good. “At a period of unexampled nations! prosperity and promise, a staggering blow was dealt to legitimate business by the unmolested practice of stock watering and dishonest financiering. Multitudes of defenseless investors, thousands of honest business men and an army of idle workingmen are pay- ing the penalty. Year by year, fes: tered by watchful and reckless gov- ernmental extravagance, by the man- ipulation of trusts and by a privilege- creating tariff, the cost of living mounts higher and higher. Day by day the control of the government drifts further away from the people and more firmly into the grip of ma- chine politicians and party bosses. “The Republican and Democratic parties are not only responsible for these conditions, but are committed to their indefinite ‘continuance. Prodigal of promises, they are so barren of performance that to a new party of independent voters the country must look for the establishment of a new policy and a return to genuine govern- ment. “We condemn the evil of over-capi- talization. Modern industrial condi- tions make the corporation and stock company a necessity, but over-carital- ization in corporations Is as harmful and criminal as is personal dishonesty in an individual. “We denounce the so-called labor planks of the Republican and Demo- cratic platforms as political buncombe and contemptible clap-trap unworthy of national parties claiming to be seri- ous and sincere. “The Republican declaration that ‘no injunction or temporary restrain- Ing order should be issued without no- tice, except where irreparable injury would result from delay,’ is enipty verbiage, for a showing of irreparable injury can always be made and is cl- ways made on ex-parte affidavits. “The Democratic declaration that ‘injunctions should not be issued in any case in which injunction should not issue if no industrial dispute were Involved,’ is meaningless and worth- less. “We condemn the manufacture and sale of prison-made goods in the open market in competition with free labor manufactured goods. “We fayor the creation of a depart- mentiof Iabor, including mines and mining, the head of which shall be a member of the President's cabinet. “The railroads must be kept open to all upon exactly equal terms. Every form of rebate and indiscrimination and railroad rates is a crime against business and must be stamped out. “The Independence party condemns the arbitrary use of the writ of injune- tion and contempt proceedings as a violation of the fundamental American right of trial by jury. “We advocate the extension of the principle of public ownership of public utilities, including railroads, as rayid. ly as municipal, state or natlonal gov- ernments shall demonstrate ability to WESTERN FEDERATION CLOSES SEVENTEEN DAYS’ SESSION AT DENVER. MEET NEXT AT DENVER OENVER SELECTED FOR PERMA- NENT HEADQUARTERS OF THE FEDERATION. Denver. — President Charles H. Moyer and the present administration of the Western Federation of Miners won a complete victory in the annu- al convention of the organization which closed Wednesday, after seventeen days of session that were stormy at umes, The insurgents in the convention who were fighting in the interest of the Industrial Workers of the World or against Moyer personally were routed on every important proposition which came up before the convention, including the election of officers. Denver was selected as the perma- nent headquarters for the federation, and also as the place for the next meeting, the latter being a victory over Butte, Mont. by a vote of 16544 to 136%. George Pettibone, whose life is de- spaired of by his physicians, was the subject of a resolution condemning the men behind the prosecution of the Boise trials, and a collection amount- ing to $40 was raised on the floor of the convention to purchase flowers each day for the invalid. Moyer was opposed for re-election by J. W. Flynn of Butte, who received 88 votes to 223 cast for Moyer, Flynn stepped to the rostram to congratulate Moyer and promised his support to the administration. Charles E. Ma: honey. was re-elected’ vies president by a vote of 194 against 109 cast for Michael J. O'Connor of Globe, Ariz. Ernest Mills was re-elected secretary- treasurer, and J. C. Lowney, Roderick MacKenzie and William Davidson were re-elected members of the executive board. In the first district Robert Randall declined renomination, and Fred Clough of Goldfield, Ney., was elected over W. H. Burton of Buckskin, Nev., by a majority of 70 votes. In District No, 2 Joseph Hutchinson of Burke, Idaho, leader of the insurgents, was elected by a vote of 153% over L. W. Callahan of Index, Wash., and A. B. Rigley, of Wallace, Idaho. Hutchinson's election was due to the double reason that the administration desired to appease the insurgents and also because L. W. Callahan, the pres- ent incumbent, has not been in the good graces of the board for several months. In the Third district J. C. Lowney was re-elected over his opponent, Owen McCabe. Both are representatives from Butte. Roderick MacKenzie and W. Bi Tracy and Willlam Wavidson, in the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth districts, were elected without opposition. In District No. 7 William F. Jinker- son of Flat River, Mo., was elected to {ill a vacancy caused by the disappear- ance of Henry A. Keltner, who, it is alleged, departed following a quarrel with his local union. ‘The officers were installed by J. C. Sullivan, vet- eran member of the organization and former president of the State Federa- tion of Labor, In outlining the policies of the or ganization for the coming year, Pres: ident Moyer said: “This convention has been the most successful we have ever had. I believe all discord has been dissipated and we will stand to- gether for the future. We have taken final action in the I. W. W. matter, entered into an alliance with the Unit: ed Mine Workers of America, which will ultimately lead to affiliation, set aside a strike fund of $100,000 and at the same time reduced the occasion for strikes by requiring the vote of ten locals instead of five in recommend- ing’a strike. “We have passed through two years of hardship when our treasury was de- pleted, but we always had the mem- bership to draw upon for an addition- al assessment. We have regained our strength, and our future course shall be one of harmony with the employers if they will but meet us half way. We want to make the federation a bigger and greater organization, and we want to eliminate the strife between the la- borer and the employer.” Southern Railroad Fined. Baton Rouge, La—A $2,000 fine has been imposed on the St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern railroad by Dis- trict Judge Brunot for failure to pro- vide negro accommodations as good as those furnished white patrons. The matter was carried to court by the State Railroad Commission to sustain its ruling that equal accommodations must be furnished both races. Lords Pass Pension Bill, London—The House of Lords passed Thursday the old age pensions bill, with several amendments which will be rejected by the House of Com- mons. There is little doubt that the lords will acquiesce in these rejections when the measure is returned to them. Much Uneasiness in Turkey. Constantinople.—Although the dem. onstrations in the streets of Constan- tinople over the granting of a cox situation have practically ceased, there are signs of much dissatisfac tion among the public at the delay in the re-construction of the ministry in the interest of the liberal elements. At a banquet given in Seres to cele brate the re-establishment of the con stitution the name of the sultac was hooted, while the Christians at .a.3 place are beginning to entertain mis. givings as to the sincerity of the y.v fessions of the young Turks.

Melba has seldom received such a remarkable ovation as that which greeted her appearance at the recent opera gala performance in Paris. It cannot, however, compare in delirious enthusiasm with one she received some years ago in St. Peters. burg. On one memorable night, after the close of the opera, she was called before the curtain again and again for more than an hour, until she was so exhausted that she could scarcely stand. Her enthusiastic admirers then followed her carriage to the ho- tel, where they serenaded her, al- though it was a bitterly cold night, until three o'clock in the morning. On the following day when she reached the station to depart the platform was crowded with hundreds of adoring music lovers. As the train was leav- ing they took the pencil with which she had written her autograph for all who could get near her, bit it into small pleces and passed them around as souvenirs.
