DEMOCR TRAI Should the Negro Vote the Don Voter of Today is Vitally Inv Prosperity of the Country cratic Party with its curi ised Financial Legislation THE PRESENCE OF A GAUDILY PAINTED BANNER, PURPORTING TO REPRESET THE NEGRO BRYAN AND KERN CLUB, STRETCHED ACROSS ONE OF DENVER'S PRINCIPAL STREETS SERIOUSLY SUGGESTS THE VERY PERTINENT QUESTION—CAN THE NEGRO IN JUSTICE TO HIMSELF AND TO THE GREAT MASS OF HIS PEOPLE VOTE A DEMOCRATIC TICKET IN THIS CAMPAIGN? THE NEGRO DEMOCRAT HAS NEVER BEEN SERIOUSLY REGARDED. HE HAS EVER BEEN LOOKED UPON AS A SORT OF POLITICAL MONSTROSITY—A EBONIZED JOKE. HE WAS NOT KNOWN AS AN ACTIVE PARASITE UNTIL THE DAYS OF OLD ALPHABET TAYLOR IN KANSAS AND THE ELDER TROTTER OF MASSACHUSETTS, SINCE THE PASSING OF THESE TWO REAL MEN OF ABILITY THERE HAS BEEN NO NEGRO DEMOCRAT CAPABLE OF WEARING THE MANTLE OF THE DEPARTED. THE CALIBER OF THE DEWEY C. BAILEY, JR. Republican Candidate for Justice of the Peace. Dewey C. Bailey, Jr., is a Colorado boy. Born in Elbert county, twenty-six years ago, he received all his education and his inspirations from the splendid schools of our state. He is a gratudate of the East Denver High School and the State University Law Department at Boulder. He has been in the active practice of his chosen profession for four years. The Supreme Court recognizing his ability appointed him Commissioner to Revise the Session Laws of Colorado, which work he is just completing. He is a candidate for Justice of the Peace and will, if elected make a good officer. He is the son of United States Marshal Bailey, and if like father will be a hummer. PRESENT DAY LEADERS OF NEGRO DEMOCRACY IS SO VERY SMALL THAT FEW ENJOY A SPEAKING ACQUAINTANCE OUTSIDE THEIR IMMEDIATE NEIGHBORHOOD. RIGHT HERE IN THE CITY OF DENVER, WHERE IT IS PRESUMED THERE ARE A SUFFIENCY OF NEGRO DEMOCRATS TO ORGANIZE A BRYAN AND KERN CLUB, THE QUESTION IS ASKED ON ALL SIDES—WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE? NOISE ENOUGH HAS BEEN MADE BY SOME ONE TO GET BROTHER TROTTR OF THE BOSTON GUARDIAN TO SIT UP AND TAKE NOTICE. BUT THEN THE GUARDIAN, LIKE HEARST'S YELLOW JOURNALS, WILL PUBLISH ANY OLD THING. IS IT NECESSARY AT THIS TIME MORE THAN AT ANY PREVIOUS PERIOD OF THE RACE'S HISTORY THAT THE NEGRO, IN ORDER TO SECURE MORE LASTING BENEFITS OF CITIZENSHIP SHOULD VOTE A DEMOCRATIC TICKET? IN A GOVERNMENT LIKE OURS, ESPECIALLY WHERE SUCH DIVERSE CITIZENSHIP OBTAINS, A CLASS OF PEOPLE ARE MOVED TO VOTE IN THE INTEREST OF CERTAIN PRINCIPLS BECAUSE THE SUCCESS OF SAID PRINCIPLES MEANS ENLARGED OPPORTUNITIES FOR LABOR OR FOR THE PROVIDING OF COMFORTS FOR ALL. THEN THEY CANBE, AND ARE, MOVED TO VOTE FOR THE SUCCESS OF ITS PAST HISTORY. THUS WE SEE THAT OPPORTUNITIES FOR WORK AND PARTY TRADITIONS ARE THE INFLUENCING FORCES MOST POTENT AMONG A PEOPLE GUIDED BY INTELLIGENCE. OUR PEOPLE ARE NO LONGER AN IGNORANT, PURPOSELER CLASS OF VOTERS, GOING TO THE POLLS LIKE SHEEP TO THE SHAMBLES. PASSING YEARS HAS BROUGHT CHANGED CONDITIONS TO THE NEGRO AS WELL AS THE THOUSANDS OF IMIGRANTS WHO HAVE COME TO AMERICA AND BEEN LOST. THE NEGRO VOTER OF TODAY IS VITALLY INTERESTED IN THE COMMERCIAL PROSPERITY OF THE COUNTRY. HE IS A MERCHANT, A MANUFACTURER, FARMER AND AN EMPLOYER OF LABOR, AS WELL AS A LABORER. THE NATION MUST PROSPER FOR HIM TO PROSPER. IT WOULD BE FINANCIAL RUIN FOR HIM TO LEND HIS AID TO A POLITICAL ORGANIZATION WHOSE ELEVATION TO POWER MEANS AN ARRESTED PROSPERITY. THE FINANCIAL RECORD OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY DURING ITS BRIEF PERIODS OF TRIUMPH HAS NOT BEEN SUCH AS INVITES CONFIDENCE. THE CRY OF THE HUSTINGE, "TAMING" AND "CONTROLLING THE TRUSTS" IS BUT THE SPECIOUS SCHEMING FOR POLITICAL POWER MADE BY DEMOGOGUES. FROM THE DAYS [Image of a man in a suit with a bow tie, looking serious and dignified]. ALEXANDER NISBET, REPUBLICAN NOMINEE FOR SHERIFF. THE Republican candidate for sheriff, who is the present incumbant in that office, is too well known to need an introduction to the voters of Denver county. His record as sheriff is such as to recommend him to the voters of the county, without regard for parties or factions. He is a capable, efficient and fearless officer whose level-headed manner of conducting his office has made him admired and trusted by the whole people. He thoroughly believes in giving the Colored people representation in his office, and his direction of legal affairs in which Colored people, are involved is always marked with exact fairness and even leniency. Mr. Nisbet came to Denver from Maryland state in 1886, and for many years was associated with the Robertson & Doll Carriage Company. As a business man as well as an official he has an unassailable reputation. His popularity gives him a big advantage in the race for sheriff. WHEN MORRISON OF ILLINOIS DEMANDED A "HORIZONTAL REDUCTION OF THE TARIFF" TO THE BEAUTIFUL CHIMERA OF PROMISED "REDUCTION," WRITTEN IN THE LATE DENVER PLATFORM, HAVE BEEN FROSTS, WHOSE VERY PROMISED PRESENCE HAS NIPPED THE BUD OF PROSPERITY. CAN THE NEGRO VOTE FOR A PARTY WHOSE FINANCIAL HISTORY IS A RECORD OF WRECKS, IDLE WORKMEN AND CLOSED WORKSHOPS? THE COUNTRY HAS ENJOYED AN ERA OF UNPRECED DENTED PROSPERITY UNDER REPUBLICAN RULE. GREATER OPORTUNITIES FOR MAKING AND ACCUMULATING WEALTH HAS BEEN GIVEN ALL THE PEOPLE THAN IN ANY PREVIOUS PERIOD OF THE COUNTRY'S HISTORY OR TO THE PEOPLE OF ANY OTHER CUNTRY. SUCCESS OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY WITH ITS CURIOUS PATCH-WORK OF PROMISED FINANCIAL LEGISLATION WILL NOT IMPROVE CONDITIONS. RATHER, UNTIL THE PEOPLE OF THE COUNTRY THOROUGHLY UNDER STAND THE PROPOSED CHANGES, MUCH THAT GOES TO MAKE FOR PROSPEROUS TIMES FOR THE LA- BORERS WILL BE AT A STA- STILL, HENCE THERE IS NO REASON FOR ANY LABORING MAN VOTING A DEMOCRATIC TICKET AT THIS TIME, HOPING THEREBY TO BE RELIEVED OF ANY BUR- DENS. IF ANY RACIAL ELEMENT IS MOVED TO VOTE WITH A PARTICULAR POLITICAL PARTY BECAUSE OF THE TRADICTIONS AND HISTORY OF THE PARTY, THERE IS NO REASON UNDER THE SUN FOR THE NEGRO VOTER TO ALIGN HIMSELF WITH THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, AS SAID BY THE COLORADO STATESMAN SOMETIME AGO THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAS EVEN BEEN A LIVING PROTEST AGAINST THE NEGRO. THIS PARTY FATHERED EVERY ACT OF THE GENERAL GOVERNMENT AGAINST THE NEGRO FROM THE DAYS OF JEFFERSON TO TILLMAN. IT MADE THE KANSAS-NEBRASKA BILL, THE MISSOURI COMPROMISE, THAT ABOMINATION OF ALL AMERICAN LEGAL ENACTMENTS, THE FUGITIVE SLAVE LAWS WHICH MADE EVERY CITIZEN A HUMAN HUNTER AND SENT THE BLOOD- HOUNDS OF THE SOUTH TRAILING THROUGH THE BYPATHS TO PREEDOM IN THE NORTH. THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY REJOICED IN JUDGE TANEY'S NOTORIOUS DRED SCOTT DECISION, AND THEN SOUGHT TO DESTROY THIS GOV- ERNMENT IN 1861, FOR THE PRES- ERVATION OF WHICH TWO HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-EIGHT THOUS- SAND NEGROES BARED THEIR BREASTS. THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS THE PARTY OF THE KLU-KLUX AND RED SHIRT AND THE HARBORER OF THE NIGHT RIDERS, LYNCHERS AND MUR- DERERS, WHOSE DESPICABLE DEEPS HAVE CAST AN ODION ON THE NAME OF THE SOUTH THAT YEARS OF PATIENT EFFORT WILL NOT RELIEVE. THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS THE ABIDING PLACE OF TILLMAN, VARDEMAN, DIXON AND HASKELL. LORD HAVE MERCY ON SUCH AN AGGREGATION OF POLITICAL MEN. NO.4 HON. CLARENCE J. MORLEY. Republican Candidate for Legislature. Hon. Clarence J. Morley was born in Iowa in 1869. He removed to Cedar Falls, in 1884, where he completed his education, in the Cedar Falls High School and in the State Normal School. In 1888 he was appointed District Court Reporter. He remained in this position for a time and then came to M. B. Trinidad, Colo., where he filled a similar position. In 1895 he removed to Denver and entered the Denver University Law School. He was admitted to the bar 1897. He graduated from his law school with honors, receiving the degree of L.L. B. He became associated with the firm of Teller and Orahood and with Teller and Dorsey until 1905 when he formed his present law partnership with Frank McDonough, Sr. Mr. Morley was appointed Public Administrator eight years ago, to which position he was re-appointed in 1907. Mr. Morley was married to Miss Maud Thompson of Cedar Falls, Ia., in 1893. He has a delightful family of three children. As a candidate for Representative, Mr. Morley will no doubt add strength to the ticket. He is well qualified and possesses the confidence of all classes. --- Candidate for judge of the juvenile court, is equipped by long practice and large experience for those peculiar and exacting duties attending this office. Judge Howze is possessed of that kindly, patient temperament which characterizes the most successful of the modern, practical students of juvenile problems. A fatherly counsellor rather than a namateur theorist, he will bring to this court the assurance of a wise and efficient administration. The Leading Educational Institution for Negroes in the West.

Baltimore American, in Reviewing the Political Situation, Explains Why Republican Candidate May Look for Support There. President McKinley sowed the seed of nationalism in the south, President Roosevelt cultivated the growth and Mr. Taft will endeavor to reap the harvest. Though coming from a middle west state, Judge Taft is, in fact, one of the most southern statesmen in the range of his sympathies and the extent of his knowledge, to be found in the country. Mr. Taft stands for the nationalizing of the south. Many have belabored the south for its political solidary, but Taft has labored with it to convince it that its true interests lie in the line of the nation's development, and that it cannot afford to have the stream of national life grow stronger and stronger without a responsive beat. Mr. Taft can count a great deal upon the popularity of Roosevelt with many southerners. He can count upon the effect of the policies of Roosevelt that have touched the southern spirit. But he can count much more upon his own identification with the interests of the south. He stands for the carrying of the impulse of southern industry to the farthest bounds of South America. The south sees in him the wizard of Panama. This undertaking it regards as peculiarly its own project. It sees in him the magician who has made it impossible for the open door in the east to be shut by any power. Southerners view him as the vigorous promoter of the military energies of the nation. They are full of patriotic sentiment and ardently devoted to the projects for the building up of a great navy, capable of defending the entire coasts of the country and its dependencies. They have true American shrewdness in forecasting coming events, and see that the one field of international complications is that of the Pacific. To them Taft is the voyager to the east who has impressed the American name and character upon the people of that section. Taft represents almost everything to which the south is devoted. The personal convictions and the public record of Mr. Taft will be given added influence by the favorable turn of politics in that section. There are many southerners who are declaring that the Democratic party is no longer a southern party. It is a western party. It has its affiliation there. It finds its strongest indorsers there. It goes there for its policies, and it picks its leaders from that section. It is the party of the plains, of the alkali region, of the sand hills and of the bad lands. It is the party of the men of wide vision and narrow range of perception in relation to national affairs.—Baltimore American. Mr. Bryan's pet phrase about the "twilight zone" suggests that it is in this shadowy region that he invents his dim and foggy ideas of regulating trusts by the ratio system. Mr. Bryan insists that the next president ought to be chosen by "the Democratic plan of popular selection." We hadn't heard that any Republicans were opposed to it. They tried it in 1896, 1900 and 1904, and were quite satisfied with it. Mr. Bryan said recently that "this is a Democratic year in Minnesota." This is our first intimation that the crops up there have failed.—Chicago Post. The Prophet of Unrest We are not to have a settled tariff for any length of time under Bryan. Merchants and manufacturers never would know just what to expect, therefore business would never have an opportunity to settle down upon any basis whatever. Elect the Prophet of Unrest if you want to, but be prepared to take the consequences.—Philadelphia Inquirer. CHANGE FOR THE WORSE. New Bryan Compares Unfavorably with the Bryan of 1896. The Bryan of 1908 is not the Bryan of 1896 and of 1900. Then he was young, impetuous, intrepid, daring. Now he is cautious, conservative, mysterious, politic. Then he rushed forth to battle in the glamour and glory of a moral hero. Now he is inclined to "look before he leaps," to weigh the chances of his action, to trim his sails to every passing breeze. And we are gravely assured that the new Bryan is safer and saner than the old. We do not see how this can possibly be. The Bryan of a dozen years ago was an earnest reformer. To-day he is a political trimmer. Then he was politically honest, now he is almost under suspicion. He has made his peace with every political trickster and gangster in the Democratic party. He has not repudiated a single one of his political vagaries, but, for the exigencies of the campaign, he has gracefully sidestepped on all the issues he has found are obnoxious to "the people." He has thrown principle to the winds, and is "playing politics." He is no longer the moral hero of a new reformation, but the political leader of a spoils party. The old chieftain, honest though wrong, was far more to be trusted and desired than the new standard bearer who is politically both dishonest and wrong. "Indiana is now removed from the doubtful column by even the Taft prognosticators," vaguely remarks the esteemed Pittsburg Post. It has been generally understood that they had removed it from the doubtful column into the sure-enough Taft column. Mr. Taft's Sincerity Mr. Taft is one of the most convincing campaigners this country has ever had. He is not a "spellbinder," he is not expert in amusing the crowd; he is not an adept in ridicule; but he is a great orator in the sense that he fully comprehends his subject and drives his arguments home with clear logic and the force of irresistible sincerity. Mr. Taft is not a plausible juggler of half truths. He is not skilled in evasion. He confines himself to the truth, and you feel that what he says must be believed. His record is absolutely correct. He has nothing to regret, nothing that he would do differently if he were called upon to do it again. A man of his achievements, who can go before the country with such candor, who can stand by everything he has ever said or done, is a man to be trusted. And Mr. Taft is trusted. Even those who shall for any reason whatsoever vote against him believe that he is absolutely sincere; that he is doing nothing merely to be elected to the presidency and that he is incapable of making compromises for the sake of political advancement. So Bryan is going to take Taft's trail during the campaign. He will still be trailing when the votes are counted.—Detroit Free Press. Shifty Mr. Bryan. Whenever Mr. Bryan lights upon anything tangible he becomes inaccurate or positively dangerous. He denied the other day that he ever had favored government ownership of railroads. What, I, Bryan, the conservative and new Bryan, favor government ownership and bureaucracy and socialistic devices? Why, I'm a Democrat and successor to Jefferson. But his speech and his written article are produced and the subject is changed. Oh, well, he hadn't thought much about the subject, anyhow. He ought to be excused. He touches on so many important subjects that he cannot be expected to know much of any one subject, and he broaches so many important things that they all sink into relative insignificance in comparison with the one important thing—his election. Mr. Taft should hold to his original resolution not to answer every statement made by Bryan. Give Mr. Bryan time enough and he will deny them all himself. AT ATLANTIC CITY.

Colored Fisherman Most Satisfied When the Bites Were Few. Riding across the country one day, Dr. Blank noticed an old negro who had been for quite a while perched motionless upon a little bridge, fishing silently from the stream beneath. For some time he watched him from a distance, but finally, overcome by the old fellow's unmoved patience, he rode up and accosted him. "Hello, Wash! What are you doing up there?" "Fishin", sah," came the reply. "Well, it seems to me you'd get tired fishing so long without a site." "I doesn't want no bite, cap'n." "Well, that's funny. Why don't you want a bite, Wash?" "Hit's this a-way, cap'n: when I gits a lots o' bites, hit takes all meh time to git the fish off'n meh line, an' I doesn't have no time foh fishin'."—Success Magazine. A Marvelous Eye Remedy.

Consequently, when she was asked in a store whither she and another small friend had been taken for a treat, "Will you have a chocolate sundae?" Miss Margaret replied with decided emphasis: "No'm, I'll have it now!"—Baltimore American. But few men seem to realize how homely they are. No Order. Booker T. Washington, at a dinner in Cleveland during the National Educational Association's convention, was complimented by a clergyman on his eloquence. Mr. Washington in reply told a story of a Southern minister who could not have been very eloquent. "One Sunday morning," he said, "in the midst of this minister's sermon, a head poked itself through the door of the vestry, and a low and tremulous voice said: "Parson, the church is on fire." "Very well, Brother Spriggins," the minister answered, I will retire. Pedhaps you'd better wake up the congregation."

Perhaps most of the scolding done in the world is between husbands and wives or between parents and children. Parents must instruct their children; they must sometimes reprove them. They must often counsel them. But they are in great danger of "provoking them to wrath"—in the wise Biblical phrase. Children have the keenest possible sense of justice; they are also very easily hurt; and when their minds are bruised the result is estrangement, and that is as sad a thing as can ever be. An imperious, scolding father or mother frightens the children away, drives them into all manner of evasions and subtertures, and brands their minds forever with the memory of cruel and blistering words." Claudius Clear. To Win Success. Entertain no thought of defeat, marshal your forces, put them in charge of those three invincible officers, "I will," "I can," and "I must," and you need not fear but you will win a glorious victory and plant your standard on the sun-kissed heights of success. Loyalty to a Friend. Never permit yourself to comment unfavorably upon a friend. If you have a complaint, carry it in person to the individual concerned. Loyalty is the life breath of real friendship; and if there was more loyalty there would be fewer broken friendships. Career of Felix Adler. Felix Adler, the well-known instructor and lecturer, was born in Alzey, Germany, August 13, 1851, the son of a Jewish rabbi. He came to America in early life and was graduate from Columbia college in 1870 and subsequently studied at Berlin and Heidelberg, obtaining the degree of Ph. D. After his return to the United States he was professor of Hebrew and oriental literature at Cornell university from 1874 to May, 1876 when he established a new religious society in New York called the Society of Ethical Culture, to which he invariably speaks every Sunday.

TWO weeks from next Tuesday election day will be here. It is to be a straight laying down of ballots, without fraud or corruption, and every citizen is expected to make deliberate choice and selection of the candidates and policies he believes in. The Republican party is in its greatest days. Important as the past has been greater works are before the country and the party now. National and state progress, individual prosperity and the welfare and security of those who are struggling for greater liberties, depend upon the success of the Republican ticket in state and nation. SHAFROTH THERE are some men in public life whose perpetual candidacy for office arouses not only the opposition, but the enmity of Colored voters, because of their well known and insolent indifference to the vital claims by which those voters exercise the rights of citizenship. John F. Shafroth, Demoeratic candidate for Governor of Colorado, is one of those men. He has played a part in the political affairs of Colorado for the past twenty years, and that part has always been one in which he has endeavored to impress the people with the idea of his importance. Although he hailed from Missouri and displayed a character in peculiar harmony with bourbon principles, he entered public life here in Denver as a Republican and in that guise imposed upon the people through succeeding campaigns, and was elevated by the Republican party to the office of congressman. It was always with distaste that we supported John F. Shafroth for less important prior offices and with actual unwillingness and distrust that we endured the party's yielding to the persistency of this man's clamor for continually increasing honors. He has always been cold, sneering, unsympathetic and disdainful in his attitude toward Colored people, and in all his public career he has never performed one act or spoken one sincere word calculated to win the confidence or weld the fealty of his Colored constituents. Never has actual popularity followed him, but his professional or political identification with real Republicians of influence and worth, like Routt, Wolecott and their successors, swung him into office. At heart he was always a Demoerat, and a mean, cold-blooded one at that, and his professed Republicanism was hypocrisy, pure and simple, thinly veneered for the sake of office. The advent of the Silver Republicans in 1896, was to him a pleasing and acceptable development, and the subsequent supremacy of Demoeracy in this state afforded him a natural, easy and long-wished-for opportunity to slip into his rightful place in politics. It needs no keen imagination to conceive his absolute sympathy with Tillman, Vardeman and Hoke smith. His pretense of Republicanism was a long-lived lie, and if there is a Negro in Colorado who can vote for him and against a real Republican like Jesse F. McDonald, we would like to measure that Negro's sense of honor. Every Negro who is loyal and who knows the political history of Colorado, will train his guns with glee on John F. Shafroth and his ticket on election day. TO MAKE THE NEGRO WORK AMERICAN sociallogists have an extraordinarily fruitful theme in the Negro question and the number of solutions put forward for this vexing race problem is limited only by the number of sociologists of commanding rank. Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Gilman, in The American Journal of Sociology, published at Chicago, has brought out the latest plan big enough to be talked about, and though it is no more liable of adoption than anything else that has been suggested in the way of remedies for racial ills, it is a comprehensive addition to the discussion of the restless subject. Mrs. Gilman says that the problem is one of status rather than of race, and that "the decent, self-supporting, progressive Negroes form no problem and call for nothing but congratulation." Then she declares that "the whole body of Negroes who do not progress, who are not self-supporting, who are degenerating into an increasing percentage of social burdens or actual criminals, should be taken hold of by the state." She would enlist this dependent mass into an organized army, under the authority of the state, with its uniforms, its officers, it titles, its decorations, its careful system of grading, its music and banners and impressive ceremonies. This state army should have its schools of all grades, its farms, its mills and shops and its churches, but the greater body of able men should be employed at road building, the improvement of harbors an driver banks and the general development of the state's avenues of commence. One branch of this army should provide necessities for another, and the whole should be not only self-supporting but profitable to the state. Individual efficiency should be rewarded with monetary compensation accumulating into a wage fund, and a certain state of efficiency and independence should graduate the individual from the army. This army should have "proper food, suitable hours of work, rest and amusement, without the strain of personal initiative and responsibility," and all the best conditions of home should be fostered. "This institution should be compulsory at the bottom, perfectly free at the top," says Mrs. Gilman, and she thinks that by the time the army has performed all the services it can for the state and the state has done all that it can do for the army, there will be no Negro problem. Although she contemplates keeping the workings of this system entirely out of politics, we fear that she presumes too much upon the purity of American statesmanship and overlooks the blood relationship between this scheme and the less fanciful form of slavery which existed prior to 1860. Meanwhile all but sociologists will expect the Negro to keep plugging away along the old lines. ROLAND G. PARVIN. THE nominee for county treasurer is a business man of large experience in financial affairs. He is connected with the Union Deposit & Trust Company of Denver, being the secretary and treasurer of that important institution. Mr. Parvin came to Denver from Indiana in 1880. He is well known in club circles as well as in Denver's business and social life, and possesses a genial personality which has made him popular as a man. The character of his business having made him familiar with the safety deposit business and financial affairs, the conduct of the tax office should come ready to his hand. Because he has not sought office, but has been a thorough-going business man, the conviction is general among Republicans and independent voters that he is an ideal candidate. THE MAYOR OF NEW YORK Willis V. Elliott, Republican candidate for district attorney, is one of those well prepared, keen-minded, highly efficient men whose whole life has been in touch with the development of the West. He is a brilliant lawyer and has had large experience as a prosecuting officer, having filled the position of assistant district attorney for several years. His ability is generally recognized, his honesty is unquestioned, and his earnestness in all matters concerning the public welfare will insure just such vigorous conduct of the office of district attorney as every large municipality needs. Mr. Elliot was born in Pennsylvania, but has lived in Denver since he was two years old. He is now thirty-eight. He is well known politically, but rather as an interested Republican worker than as an office holder, and his popularity is based upon the confidence Republicans and all business men feel in his integrity and worth as a man. Modern Helplessness Is This True? The best inheritance that either boy or girl may have is that of resourcefulness and self-reliance. It is a common experience of those who employ the best brought up children of the present day, the young men who go to the best schools and acquit themselves well at the universities, that they are afflicted with a kind of helplessness. This is a matter, adds Country Life, to which the attention of education leaders should be directed. A large proportion of the stories in demand at "select" libraries are the reverse of creditable to our views on women. But it is only fair to add that many of the most pronounced of these are written by women. Men seldom write this unwholesome fiction, nor do they read it with avidity. The study of illicit passion appeals most to certain feminine temperaments. I am afraid that cannot be denied."Arthur Wallace, in "The Crown." 776 where he has been successful as a public spirited citizen. He has always been a loyal and consistent Republican. His many friends knowing his worth and ability induced him to become a candidate for Representative of the Republican ticket. Mr. Correa is an able speaker and a man of culture and ability. In presenting his name THE COLORADO STAESMAN, takes pride in urging the Republican voters to support him. He has always been a friend of the Colored people and many can testify to his quiet generosity. He should have the full support of the party. Very few Negro voters in Denver county do not now John S. Correa, whose cut appears above. Mr. Correa was born July 4th, 1857, in Jacksonville, Ill. His parents were poor and in order for young Correa to obtain the needed rudiments of an education he was compelled to go to work. In this way he secured a good common school education. For ten years he was employed in a grocery store, where he learned every detail of the business and laid the foundation of later business success.' In 1887 he came West and located in Denver, where he has been successful as a public spirited citizen. He has always been a loyal and consistent Republican. His many friends knowing his worth and ability induced him to become a candidate for Representative of the Republican ticket. Mr. Correa is an able speaker and a man of culture and ability. In presenting his name THE COLORADO STAESMAN takes pride in urging the Republican voters to support him. He has always been a friend of the Colored people and many can testify to his quiet generosity. He should have the full support of the party. When it is announced that Senator W. W. Booth is a candidate for re-election, there is a feeling of great pleasure among all lovers of progressive legislation. Senator Booth is a native of Michigan and comes from the fine old stock which has made the English speaking people the most remarkable of modern times. Prior to coming to Colorado, he lost all in a big strike on the Burlington road. He came to Colorado and took hold of anything his hands could find to do. His M. B. tireless energy and marked success as an insurance solicitor soon attracted the attention of several companies. He became state agent for Provident Savings and Assurance Company of New York and later became the representative of the Equitable Life Insurance Company, which position he now holds. He has been active in politics as a Republican. He was twice Mayor of Highland before its consolidation with Denver. Both he and his parents are strong friends of the race. His home at one time being a place on the underground railroad. During his terms in the legislature, he has been active in support of all measures calculated to protect the rights of the people. He promoted the Registration Act which has been of so much service to the people in eliminating registration frauds. If re-elected he will support a Direct Primary Bill which will afford further relief to the people. Nominee for County Clerk. Joseph J. Vick Roy, nominee for county clerk and recorder, is another candidate of long residence and admirable record. His friends are like those of Scottish clans which swear by their leaders. He is not a boss, but just an old-time level-headed, bighearted Republican, such as colored voters have always found fully worthy of their most loyal confidence and support. Probably he has been instrumental in getting more employment for colored men than any other private individual in Denver outside of the contractor class. He is a railroad man by profession, but he has filled various political offices, ranging from deputy county clerk to city clerk, assist- ant postmaster and deputy city auditor. No Republican voter will fall to record his vote for Joseph J. Vick Roy. Oh! Sweetie, Don't!—with the Show Girls. James Pierce, who has been sick with rheumatism, is able to be out. I. T. Fullbright and J. M. Vernon returned Wednesday morning from St. Joe, Mo. Mrs. F. D. Ratley left last week for St. Louis to attend the funeral of her brother.

REPUBLICAN MEETINGS OCTOBER 17 Parlor meeting at the residence of Mrs. R. T. Anderson, 527 East Twenty-sixth avenue. OCTOBER 19. Harmon Town Hall. OCTOBER 22. East Turner Hall. OCTOBER 26. Bethlehem Baptist Church. HON. W. T. VERNON SPEAKS. Colorado has had two rare treats. Hon. W. H. Taft and Hon. W. T. Vernon have made great speeches to immense crowds in Denver. Hon. W. T. Vernon is no doubt the greatest political orator in the employ of the Republican national committee. He is not only eloquent but he is profound. Last Saturday night he spoke at the Tabernacle. Long before the hour of meeting great crowds began gathering to hear the most eloquent Negro of the hour. The monster political meeting was held under the auspices of the Negro Taft-Sherman Republican club. Its great success marks the careful organization of the club. Mr. Vernon wasted no time in useless preliminary, he plunged at once into his subject and for more than an hour held the vast audience spell-bound. His knowledge of the situation and grasp of public affairs seemed to astonish his hearers as much as his marvelous eloquence. While in the city he was the guest of Captain Campbell, our nominee for Representative. Speeches were made by Captain Campbell and Hon. George W. Gross of Rocky Ford. It was a great meeting and will do great good for the party. ROSS IS NOT A DEMOCRAT. To The Colorado Statesman: Permit me to correct an erroneous impression caused by the publication of my name in Tuesday's "News as a Democrat and a member of the Democratic Club. I am not a Democrat and while I am a member of the Bryan Distribution Bureau yet I am there as an Independent voter whose ideas as to the election of Bryan as the best method to repudiate Taft is concurrent with that of the Club's! I expect to vote for Campbell, Willis Elliott and Nisbet, and am in favor of Mr. Hamlin's election to the United States Senate and then do some independent thinking as to the rest; therefore the article reporting me to be what I am not, is not only false but wrong to me and the cause for which I am fighting. I am not apologizing for my stand, because I believe our race should resent insults; yet I want my position plainly and distinctly understood by all. Thanking you in advance for your valuable space, I am, respectfully, LOCAL NOTICES Hair cut 15 cents, 1847 Blake street. FOR RENT—A barn and a small room. Phone, Main 8478.

Listen with your eyes, your whole face, your heart and your mind and you will achieve a triumph. Look directly at the person talking to you and never allow your gaze to be deflected to other things which may be happening about you, for this at once shows lack of genuine interest in what is being said to you, and naturally gives offense. Nothing in Grumbling Tell me if you can who benefits by grumbling? Have you ever been glad that you did? It may relieve your steam for a minute, but that is all. You'll be sorry afterwards.

We don't care how graceful the woman may be, we insist that she becomes the limit of awkwardness when she attempts to sharpen a lead pencil. Let There Be Truth Between Us. The highest compact we can make with our fellow is, Let there be truth between us two forevermore. It is sublime to feel and say of another, I need never meet, or speak, or write to him; we need not reinforce our selves or send tokens of remembrance; I rely on him as on myself; if he did thus or thus, I know it was right--Emerson.

It Should be Taken According to Directions on the Bottle, at the First Appearance of the Cold. St. JOSEPH, MICH., Sept., 1901.—Last winter I caught a sudden cold which developed into an unpleasant catarrh of the head and throat, depriving me of my appetite and usual good spirits. A friend who had been cured by Peruna advised me to try it and I sent for a bottle at once, and I am glad to say that in three days the phlegm had loosened, and I felt better, my appetite returned and within nine days I was in my usual good health. —Miss Helen Sauerbier. Peruna is an old and well tried remedy for colds. No woman should be without it. Worked Both Ways. John Kendrick Bangs had been congratulated on the success of his last book.

"A friend said to Brownlow: "Let me congratulate you. I see by the paper that your wife has presented you with twins." "Brownlow smiled. "No,' he said. That is a mistake. the father's name is John C.

I took her to a doctor, and he pronounced it to be eczema of a very bad form. He treated her, but the disease spread to her back, and then the whole of her head was affected, and all her hair had to be cut off. The pain she suffered was excruciating, and with that and the heat and tingling her life was almost unbearable. Occasionally she was delirious and she did not have a proper hour's sleep for many nights. The second doctor we tried afforded her just as little relief as the first. Then I purchased Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and Pills, and before the Ointment was three-quarters finished every trace of the disease was gone. It really seemed like magic. Mrs. T. W.

HAVE NARROW ESCAPES OUT OF TWENTY THREE, GER MAN BALLOON BUSLEY ONLY ONE NOT REPORTED. Berlin.—Only one of the twenty three balloons which started in the race for the international trophy Sunday from Schmargendorf is unaccounted for. This is the German balloon Busley, under the command of Doctor Niemeyer, with Hans Hiedemann as assistant. Dispatches received here Wednesday from Cuxhaven announced that the Spanish contestant, the Castella, dropped into the ocean six miles north of Helligoland, and that the navigators, Montojo and Robero, were rescued by fishermen. Montojo said: "The balloon for more than an hour was sometimes in and sometimes out of the water near Helligoland. Finally we saw a fishing boat and we sprang into the water, where we remained for some twenty minutes before being rescued. Two other balloons passed over Hamburg in our company." Wednesday evening a dispatch was received from Molde, Norway, telling of the descent of the Swiss balloon Helvetia to the ocean and the rescue of Colonel Schaeck and E. Messner. The dispatch says: "Fishing boat this afternoon rescued occupants balloon Helvetia at the last moment as they were sinking, the gas being totally exhausted. The balloon was saved. Schaeck and Messner will remain here over night and go to Christiansands tomorrow." Molde is only thirty-two miles southwest of Christiansands, and to reach this point the Helvetia must have traveled about 1,250 kilometers or 775 miles in a direct line, and must have traveled over the Skager Rack, or the still greater body of the North Sea. This is by far the greatest distance reported to the credit of any of the contestants, the majority of whom either took a somewhat circular course or were compelled to descend on account of their proximity to water. The Helvetia is the fifth balloon among the international contestants to come to grief; the Conqueror and the Montanes burst at a high altitude, and the St. Louis and Castella were wrecked in the North Sea. Although no casualties followed these disasters, the escape of the ten men who were in the unfortunate balloons was almost miraculous. A second report came from Molde late Wednesday night, stating that another balloon was reported to have landed in Norway, about the same place as the Helvetia. The Aero club officials here are doubtful of this and believe the report is simply another version of the Helvetia's landing. A report received here from Wangerloog island, in the North Sea, says a balloon passed over there Tuesday. Fourteen German torpedo boats are searching the North Sea for the missing balloon. N. H. Arnold and Harry J. Hewitt, the two American aeronauts of North Adams, Massachusetts, who were rescued from their balloon, the St. Louis, in the North Sea Tuesday, arrived in Berlin today. Mr. Hewitt's right hand was badly lacerated by one of the anchor ropes of the balloon, but otherwise neither man sustained any harm on their adventurous trip. Interurban at Greeley. Denver.—A Republican special from Greeley Tuesday says: The Denver Interurban Railway & Construction company opened offices here today and tomorrow will begin canvassing for the $700,000 necessary to complete the financing of its road. Judge Armour of Sterling offers to invest $15,000 in the road and the company is sanguine of being able to secure the funds in a short time. President Reaser stated in an interview today that it is the intention of the company, after building a direct road from Greeley to Denver, to build branch lines into all the farming districts, with Greeley as a center. Chicago Team Football Champions. Detroit, Mich. defeating Detroit Wednesday afternoon 2 to 0 the Chicago team of the National league retained its title as champion baseball team of the world.

Du Bois near Fairmount cemetery, have recently been stolen by a gang of horse thieves which, in spite of the arrest of John Brennan, alleged slayer of Policeman Steveus, and horse rustler, continues to operate in the southern part of the city. Eight horses, all of them pedigreed stock, have been stolen from Mr. Du Bois' stables, causing a loss of $8,000. Horsemen are assisting the police in hunting down the thieves. DRAGS YOU DOWN.

Their incessant rumble soon awakened ten-year-old Billie and his five-year-old brother, Robert. Their mother feigned sleep as the two white-robed figures crept past her bed into the hall, on the way to investigate. Robert struggled manfully with the unaccustomed task of putting on his clothes. "Wait for me, Billie," his mother heard him beg. "You'll get ahead of me." "Get mother to help you," counseled Billie, who was having troubles of his own. Mother started to the rescue, and then paused as she heard the voice of her younger, guarded but anxious and insistent: "You ask her, Billie. You've known her longer than I have."—Everybody's Magzine. OPPONENT EASY TO BEAT. Slight Accident Put Edmonia's Rival Out of the Running. Mrs. S.— was in a Richmond hospital, and she was lonely, so welcomed the advent of a very black and very languid maid, who came in one morning to wipe up the floor. Some one new to talk to, so no time was lost. "I have not seen you working here before. Aren't you a new girl?" Edmonia willingly let the cloth slip back into the bucket, and sat flat upon the floor before answering. "Yas'm, I's new. I's jest washin' up de floor; but I don't work, I'm edjikated." "And where were you educated?" was the next question. "In a seminary." Then, with a burst of confidence: "There was me an' another girl workin' in a house. She was cook and I was champermaid, and we had great times about who would git de prize, but I beat." Then, after a pause, "She was easy to beat, 'cause she got smothered to death with gas de night before de 'zaminations come off."—Harper's Magazine. Expressions of a Cynic. Walter Pater, an old man at 50, bald as a coot and grotesquely plain, regarded every woman much as did Dean Swift, who wrote: "A very little wits is valued in a woman, as we are pleased with few words spoken intelligibly by a parrot." "You don't ap prove of marriage?" a friend once observed to Pater. "No." he replied, "nor would anybody else if he gave the matter proper consideration. Men and women are always pulling different ways. Women won't pull our way. They are so perverse." Rival Dignities.

It doesn't matter so much what you hear about a thing, it's what you know that counts. And correct knowledge is most likely to come from personal experience. "About a year ago," writes a N. Y. man, "I was bothered by indigestion, especially during the forenoon. I tried several remedies without any permanent improvement. "My breakfast usually consisted of oatmeal, steak or chops, bread, coffee and some fruit. "Hearing so much about Grape-Nuts, I concluded to give it a trial and find out if all I had heard of it was true. "So I began with Grape-Nuts and cream, 2 soft boiled eggs, toast, a cup of Postum and some fruit. Before the end of the first week I was rid of the acidity of the stomach and felt much relieved. "By the end of the second week all traces of indigestion had disappeared and I was in first rate health once more. Before beginning this course of diet, I never had any appetite for lunch, but now I can enjoy a hearty meal at noon time." "There's a Reason." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

The Colorado Statesman 1824 CURTIS STREET ROOM 25. --- A girl in a dress with a hat and a stick is playing with a ball. Another girl in a dress with a hat and a stick is sitting on a bench. BEFORE it is time to put on the winter coat, the little girl will need a between-season wrap of some sort. The perfectly plain tailored coats of serge or covert cloth are very practical to wear to school with the gingham frocks, but the small fry, like grown-ups, need a "best" coat. The three coats in the sketch show models that combine simplicity and good style. The illustration on the left is a coat of sable brown rajah, trimmed with wide bands of ecru broadcloth, piped with bright plaid silk. The hat is a one-tone affair, of sable brown felt, with a band of velvet around the crown, and two quills. The coat on the seated figure is of Egyptian red serge. The pointed tabs are made of two strips of red braid folded over a piece of corded silk of the same color, with little gun metal buttons. The cuffs and under collar are of the silk. The hat is a very pretty one of black beaver, with a black satin scarf edged with black silk ball fringe. The remaining sketch is a dear little garment of pongee, the entire edge and the sleeve caps finished with wine color wavy braid. With this is worn a hat of ecru felt, faced with wine-colored satin, and trimmed with rosettes of pongee and two iridescent curled quills. HINTS ON CLEANING IVORY. Much Care Necessary to Prevent Spoiling Its Tone. Ivory toilet articles are quite as fashionable as silver ones now, and the fact that they are more difficult to clean in no way detracts from their popularity. It is not easy to remove stains from the mellow, creamy material without spoiling its tone. Some useful hints on cleaning ivory are given herewith: When the stains are very slight and do not seem to be permanent, though they cannot be rubbed off with a dry cloth, wash the ivory thoroughly in warm water and soap suds and then, without drying it on a cloth, place it in the bright sunlight for a few minutes. This exposure will usually remove the stains. After they have disappeared wash the ivory again in soap and water, rinse it thoroughly and dry carefully with a soft cloth. Where the stains do not disappear entirely after contact with the sun's rays the ivory should be washed again in soap and water, then rinsed in clear water to which a little lemon juice has been added. Care must be taken to have the temperature of the water right, as too great heat will injure the ivory. Very dark discolorations require the services of an expert to remove, though one may be fairly successful by rubbing oxalic acid solution, not too strong, and applying this to the dark spots or streaks with a brush. Afterward wash the ivory well in clear warm water and dry with absorbent cotton or a soft cloth and then leave in the sunshine or in a warm place to bleach. The acid of a lemon is not harmful to the most delicate piece of ivory; in fact the juice of a lemon can be applied with a mixture of cleansing powder or whiting directly to the ivory without running any risk of spoiling its tone or texture. It should, however, be removed quickly and the ivory thoroughly cleansed afterward with plenty of warm water. Cabinet pieces that become discolored can be cleaned in this way and will be greatly improved in color and appearance. When Collar Has Made a Line. When the line of the collar is seen on the neck and will not come off, it is time to do something definite to remove the discoloration of the skin. It is often effective to apply peroxide of hydrogen with a bit of absorbent cotton. Dab it on at night after a most thorough washing of the neck in hot soap suds. Leave it on all night and scrub again thoroughly with hot scap suds in the morning, rinsing off with cold water. Repeat this every night till the stain or line disappears. Planning Girl's Winter Dress. When buying the material for your girl's winter school dresses buy enough material to make bloomers to match each dress. When made full the bloomers will furnish enough body so that petticoats will not have to be worn. This in itself is an economy, as it will save the laundry and will save the wear and tear on the underclothes. The bloomers also provide a great deal of warmth and allow more freedom of movement than do petticoats. Keep Garments Mended. Remember the truth of the old saying, "A stitch in time saves nine," and mend any worn places or torn parts in all garments before sending them to the laundry; and the time added to the life of the garments will more than repay you. What is only a small hole in a garment before it is sent to the laundry oftentimes will be a fair-sized rent when it returns. FOR CLEAR, VELVETY SKIN. Plenty of Fresh Air and a Good Massage Cream Are Essential. Good teeth, sparkling eyes and beautiful hair are all essential to personal, attractiveness, but probably the greatest charm of woman is a clear, fresh, velvety skin. Queens have paid fortunes to attain this one charm alone. But cosmetics and artificial beautifiers won't accomplish what aiding nature will. A muddy or otherwise unfortunate complexion is best overcome by the following plan. Give up greasy foods and heavy pastries. Take daily exercise out of doors, or when driving fill the lungs with good blood-purifying air. Breathe deep, hold the breath and exhale forcibly. This expels the stagnant air in recesses of the lungs. It is this stagnant air that literally poisons the system, making bad blood which in time shows on the face. Also assist nature by external treatment of the face. Nearly every modern woman uses some face or cleansing cream. This is more true in the cities than the country, but women in smaller communities are beginning to realize the necessity of face cream. House dust in the country is almost as bad for the complexion as is the dust of a big city. Notice a sunbeam coming through the window into a room. You will see thousands of small dust particles floating in the air. These get into the pores and work havoc unless one's eliminating system is unusual. A cleansing or massage cream works down into the pores and brings out these dust particles which soap and water cannot reach. Moreover, the massaging of the face is in itself beneficial, as it starts the red blood coursing to the cheeks. Care must be used to select a reliable massage cream. A good massage cream plus plenty of fresh air and proper diet will work wonders in preserving and beautifying one's complexion—woman's dearest charm. CHIC NECK DRESSING. This illustration shows a chic neck arrangement especially becoming to young and pretty races. The stock is extremely high and around it is tied a band of ribbon with bow and ends on left side just under the ear. The ribbon must be wide enough to cover stock and hold in place the frill of lace next the face. Put Water in Shoes. If the cap of the shoe is too small on stiff, so that the wearer suffers, put water in the shoe so that it will stay in the heel. Set in a dish over night, and put on in the morning, keep on until dry, and it will shape to your foot.

Silk and Lace Centerpieces Easily In Injured—Linen Should Be Shrunken Before It Is Stamped or Embroidered. The table center of to-day is very different from that of a few years ago. There are many more varieties than the all-embroidered or all-lace centerpieces of the past. Nowadays, different kinds of nets and laces are inserted in the linen, and combined, with solid embroidery or fancy stitches and also with braids, which are coming into fashion again. These make centerpieces and embroidery in general much simpler, yet, at the same time, more effective. They can also be made with less expense if the proper combinations are used. Solid embroidery done with silks, either in colors or white, is handsomer than any other kind. For table centers for everyday use, which must be laundered constantly, the all-white linen center, worked in mercerized or plain cotton, with fancy stitches and simple braids, makes an effective and inexpensive article. It is easy for anyone knowing little or even nothing about embroidery in general to make. The linen should be shrunken before it is stamped or embroidered, especially any piece that is made to a special size or a particular shape. A circular center will not remain round unless it has been shrunken before it has been marked, for linen shrinks more one way than another. When a center or any embroidered piece of linen is laundered, it should be pressed while damp on the wrong side until thoroughly dry. If the ironing board or table is covered with several thicknesses of blanket the embroidery will then stand out and look very handsome after the piece has been pressed. It is best to use a piece of flannel when dampening the linen, as it is softer than linen or cotton and freshens up the linen wonderfully. Unless a piece of work has become very much soiled while being worked, it is much better not to wash it before it is pressed. When finished, the center should be dampened and pressed before the scallop is cut out, thus enabling the linen to be cut closer to the scallop without danger of cutting the stitches or leaving a ragged edge beyond the scallop. This usually happens if it is cut out before it is pressed. Fruit Pudding Moisten half a loaf of stale graham bread, finely grated, with a cupful of hot molasses, adding half a cupful of melted butter, a teaspoonful of powdered cinnamon, half a teaspoonful each of powdered allspice and grated nutmeg, half a cupful of brown sugar, and a saltspoonful of ground cloves. Mix thoroughly and then stir in a teaspoonful of baking soda dissolved in a scant teacupful of sour cream, with sufficient flour to form a stiff batter, adding by degrees half a cupful of seeded raisins, two tablespoonfuls of currants, a quarter of a pound of shredded citron, and two ounces of chopped candied orange peel. Pour into a large round pan and bake for 45 minutes in a moderate oven; serve with a hard sauce flavored as desired. Dried Apple Fruitcake Soak three cupfuls of dried apples over night in cold water, enough to swell them. Chop them in the morning quite fine and put them on the fire with three cupfuls of New Orleans molasses. Stew until nearly soft, add one cupful seedless raisins and stew a few minutes. When cold sdd one cupful of butter, three eggs, three teaspoonfuls of allspice, one grated nutmeg, one teaspoonful of baking soda and three cupfuls of flour. Bake one hour and a half in a moderate oven. This makes a rich cake and will keep for months. Cook Beet Tops. Take young beets, cut the leaves off and clean them well. Boil till soft with a little salt, strain and chop fine. Chop a small onion and brown with a nice piece of butter, add a tablespoonful of flour, a dash of pepper and nutmeg. Pour enough boiling water on this to make a gravy. Mix beet leaves with gravy and let simmer together for a few minutes, then serve. Make a salad of the beets by boiling till soft, skin, cut in slices, add vinegar and water to cover, a bay leaf, and a few peppers. Cincinnati Pancakes. One egg, teaspoon of salt, butter sugar, 1 pint of flour, 2 heaping teaspoons baking powder or soda and sour milk when very light. Instead of greasing the skillet, put in a large spoon of lard. When piping hot put in the cakes and they will splutter and spread and crinkle until a delightful brown. Eat with butter and sugar sirup. Fine. Globes on Gaslights. The globes on gas fixtures and lamps should not be screwed too tight, as the heat when the light is burning will expand the glass. Sufficient room should be left for this expansion. When screwed too tight the globe will crack or break. Watermelon Vinegar A nice way of making vinegar for home use is to save your watermelon juice, put in a glass jar and set on a shelf in the sun. In two or three weeks it will be fine vinegar.
