VOL. XV. LEST W The Principle of Human Rights licanism. The Party of Grant--the Defender The question of Human Rights has never ceased to exercise the world of thought since the days in which the sufferings and hardships of Isreal, touched to pity the tender love of the Father, who removed the iron heel of Egypt by the command "Let my people go." Acquaintance with the affairs and personalities of this remote period is made so real through revelation and is felt to be so thoroughly in touch with our latter day experience as to be accepted, as furnishing and completing an unbroken sequence of similarity in the contact of races through succeeding ages. A glance at the rise and progress, development or fall of the peoples of history discloses the fact that certain cardinal virtues or vices have been the controlling influences—refining and elevating; enervating or destroying. In deference to the exigences of space it may be assumed that pride of race and devotion to principle have been among the strongest levers in the substantial uplift of those races which have absorbed a large share of the admiration of the world. The pride of the Spartan ma- JOHN R. CHASE John R. Chase, candidate for county commissioner has lived in Denver twenty years.

He is clear-headed, fair-minded and energetic to an unusual degree. tron in the courage and integrity of her boy is a sacred aurole, wreathing the brow of her exalted womanhood. The dreary stretch of Marathon Plain could not discourage nor feet restrain: who, glorious news of victory won, with haste acclaimed each Grecian son. The ancients may not, however monopolize the splendid tributes of praise, which are as incense, diffused by successive generations in honor of ancestral virtues. There are moderns of another race and clime who may proudly claim association with the worlds immortals and who wear their patent by reason of conspicuous and invaluable service in behalf of human rights. Washington and Patrick Henry; Lincoln and Grant; Charles Sumner and Frederick Douglass; Roosevelt and Booker Washington are names indissolubly woven with the fibre of American history. Each of these was an unfaltering campaign of National Independence, the foe of special or unlawful privilege, the gallent warrior for the integrity of the Union and the freedom of the Blacks, the courageous defender of the oppressed or the advocate of the fullest measure of civil and political liberty. The question of Slavery Extention; the Missouri Compromise and its subsequent repeal; the fearful cataclysm of Civil War; the stupendous problem of final emancipation; the bitter controversies over the constitutional amendments; the unequalled tragedy of reconstruction and Brownsville with its acrimonious results are the nations milestons along the Appian Way of progress and development. It is scarcely possible to realize the relationship between the characters and events to which allusion has been made, without, at the same time noting with what peculiar insistence the shadow of the Negro (black it is true, but distorted through eyes of hate into shape at once rediculous and absurd) has been drawn forward by force of destiny, as its own most potent argument for equality of human rights. The survival of this shadow and the evolvement therefrom of the substantial Negro citizen of today is both a benediction and a prophesy.

The Republican nominee for Congressman-at-Large is, perhaps, one of the best known men in Colorado. Hon James C. Burger was born in New York City, November 21, 1866. He received his educational training in the splendid schools of that city, and especially in the old Trinity Church school. For many years he sang in the choir of that famous church at the head of Wall street. He began business in a wholesale grocery business, in charge of the fruits. In 1880 he began business on Wall street, being connected with a prosperous and influential brokerage firm having offices in New York and Boston. In 1893 he came West and settled in Denver, where he has since been an active citizen, concerning himself in those things that tend to better civic life. Coming West, he devoted himself actively to business. He is president of the Union Deposit and Trust Company and vice president of the Piquot Real Estate Company. These companies have done much to develop and enlarge the fair city of Denver. Mr. Burger is very popular socially. He is president of the Denver Athletic Club, vice president of the Colorado Golf Club, and director of the Colorado Traffic Club. He is a prominent Mason and a member of the Shriners' Association that built the beautiful El Jebel Temple. He is a prominent Elk and a life member of the Denver Press Club. Two years ago marked his first appearance in politics. He was selected by the Republicans for the state senate and was elected by a larger plurality than ever given a candidate for this office. He secured the enactment of several laws for the benefit of the city of Denver, notably the appropriation of money for the Platte Canon Boulevard. Along with his many other duties Mr. Burger is a horny handed son of toil. He owns and operates a farm out near Bennett. Mr. Burger was married years ago to Miss Edith Brown of New York, a woman, who like her husband feels a deep interest in the welfare of humanity. Mr. Burger is a most pleasant man to meet and is deeply interested in the rise of the Negro. Many of our people can point to his quiet acts of charity which has helped them over the rough roads of life. This is a brief history of the man selected by the Republicans for Congressman-at-Large. He is a splendid specimen of American manhood. He is a young man of large business connections and experience. If elected he will reflect great credit on the party and the state. --- state Hist & Nat Hist Society State House HON. JAMES C. BURGER, DENVER The Republican nominee for Hon James C.

The Divinity which shapes our ends, ever mindful of the greatest good for all the children of men, touched here and there a soul with a realization of its sacred beauty and these with the courage of the crusaders of old, joined heart and hand for the protection and preservation of the Golden Fleece of Liberty. Thus from the loins of human sympathy, at the behest of popular government, there was brought forth a new offspring, and this child of destiny, cradled amid the clash of contending opinion and the threat of impending civil strife, was hailed as the great Republican party, the natural guardian of Freedom. The Nations' crown is replete with studded gems made from names of its members—some black, some white, for the principles of this party are of a kind with the very essence of Divinity, which comprehends each human atom in its world-wide plan of beneficence. Men do not gather grapes from thorns nor figs from thistles; nor do they think to discover loyalty in a Benedict Arnold. A weak, despised and struggling NO. 5 race may not look for sympathy and encouragement from a party in which his detractors are its controlling force, Tillman, Thomas Dixon, Vardaman, Williams and Hoke Smith, their sattellites and admirers, are unconditionally committed to the oppression of Negro manhood. One has the power to embrace a scorpion or to cast ones-self from the housetop, as an evidence of spleen or indignant protest; but would it pay? Would it be wise? Again, shall the wormwood of Brownsville linger on the Negro palate, vitiate and destroy the splendid feasts of dainties spread for him in the banquet hall of Republicanism since the very moment of his civil birth? Should he not rather shoulder this cross bravely and manfully, forgetting not the dreary road o'er which he came, nor yet the guide and friend with whom he journeyed on? Must the heroic sacrifice and unparalleled devotion of Sumner; the valorous courage and unswerving loyalty of Grant, be compensated by the renunciation of their faith and the political apostasy of those for whom they wrought? No! No! a thousand times no. Rather let Negroes everywhere stand shoulder to shoulder in the ranks of Freedoms' heroes. Let them exclaim with Sumner, the grandest and noblest of all their friends and champions, "Where Liberty is, there is my party." All hail the Republican party. Its corner-stone is Freedom Its broad—all-sustaining arches are Truth, Justice and Humanity. Like the ancient Roman Capital, at once a temple and a citabel, it is the fit shrine for the genius of American Institutions. JOHN H. PAYNTER. J. H. CHRYSLER Nominee for County Commissioner J.H. Chrysler, candidate for county commissioner, is another thorough going business man. He conducts a large grocery business in South Denver and has never held office. He was nominated because of his well known executive ability and knowledge of business affairs, as well as his ardent Republicanism. He is careful, strict and a natural champion of the public interest. DICK FRAZIER AND TOM LEWIS PROPRIETORS PA CLAMBERT'S TONSORAL DEM.

SOLD NEW YORK TIMES SOLD NEW YORK TIMES DECLARES THAT HE IS BEING VICTIMIZED FOR POLITICAL EFFECT Dayton, Ohio—As he was boarding a train for New York city here Thursday afternoon, Broughton Brandenberg was arrested by local defectives on the charge of forgery and grand larceny. A telegram from the New York police department advised the local department to hold him. He is alleged to have sold to the New York Times a letter which he alleged to have been written by Grover Cleveland, in which the dead statesman predicted the election of Taft, and which letter is now declared to have been a forgery. Brandenberg was locked up, as the amount of his bail was not fixed. Through his attorney Brandenberg issued the following statement: "It appears that I am to be the Captain Dreyfus of the campaign of 1908. I have been peculiarly alone and am still alone in my fight and though ready to welcome the great body of support which the facts warrant me, if it does not come I shall go on alone. "Is it reasonable that for the sake of $120 that would have been my profit after weeks of work, any sane man in my position would have falsified the utterances of an ex-President of the United States? Is is reasonable, when persons had seen the handwritten manuscript in my possession in March that when I presented the scheme for the three articles for sale in March and when I sought the proper authority from Mrs. Cleveland and the co-executor, Mr. Hastings, before I sold the single article, that there could have been anything but fair dealing in my methods? Why was the alleged evidence that the document was fraudulent not produced when the document was challenged? "Why has it never been produced, save in the secrets of the, grand jury room, when the American public is entitled to know every scrap of evidence in the matter at once? Why have my witnesses been intimidated? Why is indictment found, if one has been found, before my case is in? "Yesterday I wired District Attorney Jerome that I had new evidence to present on Friday, and as I stepped aboard the train for New York to fulfill my agreement, I am arrested as a fugitive from justice, though my attorney, Joseph Williams, and myself informed the district attorney of my purpose and destination on this journey. "This allows those who are interested in offsetting the influence of Mr. Cleveland's utterances to secure a dramatic climax just before election. The entire matter is all fitting nicely with Colonel Watterson's plan, announced before the article was published, that it must be discredited by any means. It remains to be seen if the American public is to be bulldozed on one hand, while I am victimized on the other." Habeas corpus proceedings are now being brought. Colorado Football Games.

E. Shankland on the body of a dead man in the Argus mountains has this entry: "I left Grapevine, Inyo county, Cal, July 28th. Tom Pratt told me I would perish. I thought I could make it but got lost, so guess I will have to give in. I have no water, nothing to eat and can't walk. I have brothers, C. H. Pratt at Banner Springs, Wyandotte county, Kan.; E. B. Pratt in St. Louis, and W. R. Pratt, Custer county, Wyo." Bpite Controversy Happily Ended Without Legal Warfare. "Fellow was raising bees back in the foothill country," remarked Frank H. Short of Fresno. "Plenty of sagebrush; sage makes clear, delicious honey. Got in a row with a neighbor; shot his dog; said its barking annoyed his queen bees. Neighbor waited a whole year to get even, plowed up a big patch, planted wild mustard; grew fine. Bees thick on mustard flowers. Mustard makes bitter honey. Like to ruin the bee man's sales. Bee farmer came to me, wanted to sue for damages. 'What can I do?' he asked. "Nothing," I said. "He has a right to grow mustard on his own land." "Well," he said. "I'll get some scheme to annoy him." "So he got a cornet; used to sit up from midnight till four o'clock in the morning practicing 'Wearing of the Green.' Fellow with the mustard was an Englishman; stood it for three weeks; went out with a scythe and cut down all the mustard. They've been good friends ever since."—San Francisco Chronicle.

Voters Must Consider the Inevitable Consequences of a Change in Pres: ent Administrative Policies— Last Year’s Object Lesson. ‘The main thing for voters to deter- mine in choosing between Mr. Taft and Mr. Bryan as presidential candt- dates is as to whether the general wel- fare of the country will be Best pro- moted by the election of the one or the other. That is the broad and the long of the whole matter. Whether or not Mr. Bryan’s chief political pro: moter, Gov. Haskell, has been a secret agent of the Standard Oil Company and whether or not the ex-treasurer of the Democratic campaign commit: tee was at one time connected with ‘some not altogether creditable Wall street transactions, these charges made by Mr. Hearst have conduced to the sensationalism of the present cam- paign, There have been other ques- tions brought prominently into the dis- cussions which may fairly be classed as subsidiary {ssues. The question of paramount importance before the yoter is as to whether he shall take the risk of such a change in the adminis trative policies of the national govern- ment as would undoubtedly be in- yolyed in Mr. Bryan's election. Both party platforms advocate and both party candidates are committed to a proposal for tariff revision. The Republican party has always stood for a policy of protection to home labor and home industries. On the other hand, the tariff policy of the Demo: cratic party has always been and is yet “a traiff for revenue only”—prac tical free trade. Only the other day comment was made upon the great strike now on in the cotton-mill in dustries of Great Britain, a strike be cause of a reduction in wages which Involves 150,000 operatives. The rea son why the wage cut has been made should fix attention in this country According to the statements given out by the millowners, the very best cot- ton-mill machinery has been bought in Great Britain for founding cotton mills in both Japan and China, and be cause of Aslatic cheaper labor the British millowners are afraid that their home market will be flooded with cheaper products from China and Japan, Great Britain is a free-trade country, Can the working people of the United States take the risk of having the tariff schedules revised ac- cording to Democratic ideals? ‘The people of this country were af. forded a most impressive object-lesson last year illustrating how that intangi- ble something called “business con: fidence,” when it is undermined and shaken from {ts foundations, produces widespread demoralization and trouble. It is now generally agreed that last year’s panic was a “gambler’s panic.” It was brought on by the reckless trading in Wall street. Fifteen of the 20 big financial institutions that failed during the panic period were in the downtown financial area on Manhat- tan island. But by the financial smashes in New York city business confidence throughout the country was shaken and a period of industrial de- pression followed, from which we are just recovering.’ Is there any person of well-balanced judgment who does not foresee that in case of Mr. Bry: an’s election business confidence would be given a solar-plexus blow; that the industries of the country would be de moralized thereby to the extreme of ruinous disaster? The real issue be- fore the voter is as to whether or not he had better let well enough alone. Mr. Taft is no less alive to the evils of trusts than Mr. Bryan, He has his own ideas as to the proper method of dealing with them, His method would be more effective than Mr. Bryan's as far as the trusts themselves are con- cerned, and would inyolye no injury to the guiltless, no pulling up of the wheat along with the tares.

In a recent speech Mr. Bryan reit- erates his familiar assertion that his renomination after two defeats shows that his party still believes and in- dorses “the principles 1 have been ad- vocating.” Now, Mr. Bryan fs identified with no principle so thoroughly as with free coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1 and the necessary con- comitant of that proposition—recog- nized and declared by himself to be the negation and destruction of the gold standard, It is true that Mr. Bryan now says, with characteristic shiftiness, that what he aimed at in 1896 was not de- struction of the gold standard but “more money.” His assertion is false: for what he aimed at then and what he has never yet renounced, is the de- struction of the gold standard. To this inescapable fact his own utter- ances bear frrefraguble testimony, At Knoxville, Tenn,, in 1896, he said: “Against the maintenance of the gold standard for one year or forever the Democratic party has arrayed itself. We are opposed to a gold stan- dud; we haye commenced a war of effermination against it which will not cease. “if there is any one who believes that the gold standard is a good thing or that it must be maintained, I warn ‘him not to cast his vote for me, be- cause I promise him that it will not be maintained in this country longer than Iam able to get rid of it.” No man can vote for W. J. Bryan in ‘this campaign except on one of two grounds, Either he must believe that Bryan still yearns to destroy the gold slandard, in which case he is unfit for president; or else he must believe that Bryan was wrong then and knows bet ter now, in which case he is a faulty reasoner and an unsafe guide.

THE SOLDIER QUESTION WHAT Democrat, in Congress or out, has ever condemned the Brownsville verdict as unjust to the Negro soldiers? Most Democrats condemn Republican administrations for having Negro soldiers at all. If Democracy has her way what justice or honor will ever be accorded the Negro in the army of the United States? In every Democratic state in the union the Negro soldier's presence is regarded with resentment and disgust. Will Negroes vote to turn over the absolute control of their soldiery to the tender mercies of those who despise and hate them? We cannot think it. WHAT MANNER OF PEOPLE? The world-circling American fleet of war vessels has been received and entertained in the ports of Japan. Inadvertantly this fleet is doing a masterly thing in bringing out expression of the feeling and sentiments of foreign peoples toward the government of the United States, especially as it is looked upon in its higher political aspect as a land of freedom, opportunity and equality. The reception to the officers and men of the fleet accorded by the little brown subjects of the Mikado in his capital city of Tokio has furnished the greatest and undoubtedly the most pleasing sensation that the Americans can hope to experience in all their around-the-world cruise. In the regular official program in which the dignitaries of Japan did their utmost to honor and please those whom they considered the emissaries of the ruler of this republic, and his subjects, the American officers were escorted through walls of ten thousand Japanese children, who, led by a military band, sang the entire American national hymn in English. What other country in all the world, speaking an entirely different and dissimilar language, can duplicate such a feature as this? What care and precision, and above all, what remarkable intelligence is demonstrated in this unprecedented achievement! Imagine the task of teaching ten thousand American children to sing the Japanese national hymn in the Japanese tongue. The incident surprisingly demonstrates the remarkable intellectual capacity of a people distinctly different from the Caucasian people who have long led the thought and the physical achievements of the world. It serves to give humanity an imaginative glimpse into the future, when peoples now considered low in the scale of intelligence and human achievement, may suddenly flash upon a conceived world the searchlight rays of a dormant intelligence which needed but a few years of awakening culture to bridge the chasm between a transcendant, though forgotten past and an almost limitless future. Let not the groveling races of earth despair or be ashamed, for in the certain development of God's infinite plans, the slaves of today may be the masters of tomorrow. Such is human destiny. THE BRYAN DEMONSTRATION WHEN the Democrats of Colorado played their trump card last week it was but natural that it should have a few black spots on it; but from what we have observed in the present great political game, it does not look high enough to win. It is no new sight to see Negroes in a Democratic street demonstration in Colorado, for the novelty of such a feature was worn away when Colorado, following the glamour of the silver agitation in 1896, broke all customs and all political lines, and contributed a portion of the strength of all political classes to the Democratic sleep-walking match. Since that year, finding that it did not put them in jail, Negroes have dallied with Democracy, but always in a way that subjects them to the charge of getting money under false pretense. We will candidly admit that the turn of political circumstance has allied a few Negroes in Colorado with Democracy, but we combat the inference, intended to be demonstrated in the Bryan parade, that there has been any serious defection in the rangs of real Negro Republicans, on account of anything which the Republican candidate, Judge Taft, or any other Republican is alleged to have done against the interests of the Negro. The endeavor to give this aspect to the appearance of colored men in the Democratic parade and Bryan meeting last week, was but the trick of degenerate Negro politicians who have done many previous dirty jobs for certain Democratic bosses for considerations, very far removed from the best interests of the colored people. One hundred Negroes, the same as white men, can be hired in Denver to march in any kind of procession and carry any kind of banner and make any kind of noise, but an investigation immediately after the demonstration would locate the majority of them within a downtown district embraced in four square blocks. We can assure Republican party leaders that there is no honest enthusiasm or fealty for Democracy worth taking serious account of among the colored voters of Colorado. Colored men and women of judgment know that the drift of political events, under Democratic agitation throughout the nation, portend their race little good, and that Democratic success in the nation will give immeasurable encouragement to an element which has hoped and striven for years to eliminate the Negro altogether from political affairs. The Negroes of Colorado are too intelligent and discerning, despite all difficulties and pretenses, to yield to the false-hued persuasions of Democracy. They will continue to vote the Republican ticket. THE SUPREME COURT It is almost certain that the Supreme Court of the United States will be reorganized during the next four years; and, of course, should Mr. Bryan be elected, he will do the work. In so doing he would be compelled to be goverened in his choice of the new justices by the wishes of the South, and, in a little time, the supreme bench would have a majority of justices entirely ready and willing to reaffirm Judge Taney's dictum. There is no surmise about this statement, and the statement needs no proof, being self-evident in character. In view of this fact, for Afro-Americans to vote for the election of Mr. Bryan, would be moonstruck madness. Even under existing conditions, the Afro-American derives but little benefit from the decisions of the courts; under such courts as would be constituted under the Bryan regime, he would have no protection whatever either in the North or the South. The election of Judge Taft is the only possible preventive of such a fearful calamity to the race as in the installing of a solid South Supreme Court. Great efforts are being made to induce Afro-American voters to fritter away their votes among the Socialists, Populists, Prohibitionists and other side-show parties, to do anything except to support Judge Taft, but we feel confident that the mass of the voters will never be led into such an act of consummate folly. The Republican party is the only party that has ever done good for the Afro-American, and it is not considered wise policy to swap horses while crossing the stream. M. B. No more important office is within the gift of the people, than that of Attorney General. To fill this position the Republicans have selected Hon George L. Hodges one of Denver's most prominent and popular attorneys. Mr. Hodges was born on a farm near Rochester, New York, August 7, 1856. The next year, his parents moved to Minnesota, where his father became one of the prominent pioneers. He laid out the town Rochester. In 1863 his father became Captain of the Third Minnesota volunteers and served on the staff of General Steele. He had charge of the military prison at Little Rock. When the war closed the family returned to New York and settled at Lima. Here young George received his education in the Wesleyan University. In the spring of 1874, he entered the Rockport Normal School. In 1877 be began the study of law, and has since been a close careful student. In 1876 he was married to Miss Ella Van Deweer, which has been a pleasant union. In 1879 he caught the gold fever, and migrated to Leadville. Here he was admitted to the bar in 1880, and continued his practice until 1883, when he returned to New York. He located in Chenango county, N. Y., and with his father-in-law engaged in hop raising, dairying and merchandising. He served one term as supervisor of the county. Both Democrats and Republicans united in tendering him the second term, which he declined. He was admitted to the New York bar in January, 1886, and removed to Colorado in June 1887. Here he entered upon the practice and engaged in various business enterprises. He has always manifested a keen interest in the promotion of all business enterprises calculated to benefit the state. Mr. Hodges is seinor member of the firm of Hodges and Wilson, who have a handsome suite of rooms in the E. and C. building. Mr. Hodges will make an ideal Attorney General. The voters will make no mistake in electing this man. The interest of all, be they rich or poor, will be conserved at his hands. SALES AGENTS WANTED. Side Lights on History.

MILTON L. ANFENGER. Republican Candidate State Senate. Hon. Milton L. Anfenger, Republican candidate for state senator was born in Denver on September 3, 1874. He is a son of the late Louis Anfenger, one of Denver's most prominent business men and pioneers. He is a product of the Denver schools and graduated from the Colorado Law Department in 1896. In January 1897 he began the practice of his profession. He is a member of the Denver Chamber of Commerce, the East Denver Turnverein and one of the organizers of the Sons of Colorado. He is a prominent member of the Elks, Masons, Odd Fellows and other secret societies. He is also active in all charitable and philanthropic work. He was elected a member of the senate on the Republican ticket in 1904. He has made a conscientious member and to be returned at this time would be to give the party the benefit of his previous experience. votes. Gross frauds having been perpetrated at the election he immediately instituted a contest which after a vigorous fight resulted in the unanimous passage of a resolution on Feb. 15, 1904 declaring him to be the duly elected representative from the First District and awarded him his seat. He was re-elected to the Fifty-ninth congress and to the Sixtieth congress. He has announced that in the event the Republicans control the next state legislature he will be a candidate before that body for United States Senator to succeed Senator Henry M. Teller. Mr. Bonynge is the right kind of Republican. He knows no man by his color, but treats everyone who comes in contact with him equal courtesy. He is entitled to every colored vote, as of every Republican, and we predict he will be re elected by a large majority Robert W. Bonynge, member of Congress from the Fisrt District of Colorado, was born in the city of New York in 1863. He attended the common schools of that city and was graduated from New York College in 1882. He afterward attended Columbia College Law School, graduating from that distinguished institution of learning in 1885. He practiced his profession in New York until 1888, when he came to Denver. His thorough knowledge of the law, his integrity, industry and capacity for work very soon drew to him a large practice and placed him in the M. B. LOUIS F. BARTELS For the office of assessor the Republicans present Louis F. Bartels as their candidate. Mr. Bartels belongs to one of the old Denver families and has had a business and political career which has given him enviable standing among a great majority of Denver citizens. His popularity is of the kind which over-reaches party lines, and though he has always J. H. H. front ranks of the profession in this state. He had only been in the city a little over four years when he received the nomination at the Republican county convention in 1892 for the position of State Representative in the Ninth General Assembly. Elected by a good majority he took his seat in that body and was very soon recognized as one of the most prominent members, if not the foremost leader. He was a tireless worker in committee, and on the floor of the House he was a pleasing, forcible and convincing speaker who never failed to command the attention of the whole body. In 1896 he was elected as an alternate delegate to the memorable national Republican convention at St. Louis. In 1898 he was a candidate for State Senator and in 1900 for Representative in congress from the First District. He was again nominated for congress in 1902 and on the face of the returns was defeated by the Democratic nominee by 2,792 been a consistent Republican, we do not doubt that many Democrats will vote for him. He is well known to Colored people, many of whom have transacted real estate or insurance business with him, and learned to appreciate his honorable and liberal business methods. He is admirably equipped for the office of assessor. Republican meeting, October 26th, Bethleham Baptist church. Officer J. A. Whittaker is on the sick list this week. Mrs. J. R.

One of the most impressive sermons that it has been our good fortune to hear, was that preached by Dr. Christian F. Reisner, pastor of Grace M. E. church, last Sunday morning. The subject of his sermon being, "What shall we do with the Negro?" The Dr. handled the subject without gloves, fear or favor, but with a Christian spirit showing by statistics all the way through, a deep research on the subject. The Dr. believes it is incumbent upon the whole people and especially the Christian people of this country, the unfortunate, depressed colored brother. That which benefits one benefits the other. To lynch the Negro, depraves the white man as well as the black man." "Putting all the American Negroes on a vessel and colonizing them in Africa, is impractical." By his many utterances the Dr. has shown a broad Christian spirit, which if only followed by more good brethren of Dr. Reisner's profession would have a marvulous effect upon this great question. Unfortunately not over six or seven of our colored citizens heard this most forceful discourse. REPUBLICAN TICKET For President, WILLIAM H. TAFT, of Ohio. For Vice President, JAMES S.

By direction of the surgeon general of the marine hospital service, the quarantine that has been maintained in all ports against vessels leaving San Francisco harbor has been completely removed, and the ocean-going craft will be able for the first time in fourteen months, to come and go without the use of rat guards, dock fenders and periodical fumigations. First reports of the number of deaths resulting from the fall of a Union Pacific way car from the high Lone Tree fill in Wyoming were exaggerated, the number being only two instead of six. Four men were seriously injured and the remainder of the thirty-nine in the car at the time of the accident sustained minor injuries. The dead are Japanese and the seriously injured, with the exception of Brakeman J. B. Hull, are Greek laborers. The transcontinental freight bureau has just issued a bulletin cancelling through rates to Asiatic ports. The contention of the big roads with Pacific steamship connections is that the compulsory publication of these export rates gave Japanese merchants the advantage of underbidding the Americans and their ships plying between the Pacific coast and Oriental ports were in a position to control the commercial situation. The railroads are preparing a campaign in next Congress to secure an amendment to the law or a modification by ruling of the Interstate Commerce Commission.

"Now you're trying to flatter me!" was the cutting response—Ex. Wife Finished the Story. A cablegram all the way from London says: A well known man in theatrical affairs in America is telling a story on himself. He does not wish his name revealed, as his wife would not like it. This man is a gourmet of no mean ability, and prides himself on devising new dishes. This is the story as he told it: "At dinner the other night at Romano's, they asked me for something new in the way of fancy food. When I got home, I told my wife what I ordered: 'First,' I said, 'I had an olive put in a woodcock, then the woodcook put in a pigeon, the pigeon put in a partridge and the partridge put in a pheasant, then tied up with bacon and cooked." "Well,' said my wife, 'why don't you go on and finish?' "That is all; there was no more. "Oh yes there was," she answered. 'Then you put that into a jackass, then put the jackass into a cab and told the driver to bring you here, home!'" The safest way to ask a lady's age is to ask some other lady. Inspiration vs. Perspiration. "Bishop Potter was a wonderfully effective preacher," said a Brooklyn clergyman. "His method was reserved and quiet. He always had himself well in hand. "I once delivered a sermon before him. I was young and enthusiastic at the time, a disciple of the methods of Tallimage. I let myself go in that sermon. My voice shook the church. My gestures shook the pulpit. "At luncheon afterwards, I am ashamed to say that I fished for compliments. I leaned over the bishop and asked him in a low voice to give me some advice on preaching. "Dear knows what I expected him to reply—probably that I was beyond any advice from him. At any rate, what he did reply was this: "My dear young friend, never mistake in the pulpit perspiration for inspiration." The employment department of the Denver Y. M. C.

A Syracuse business man who, besides being extremely active and ambitious, has much sense of humor, was taken sick with a slight attack of pneumonia. His physician, aware that it would be a task to keep his highstrung patient in bed, sought to impress on him the seriousness of the ailment and the necessity of absolute rest; all of which the sick man listened to in a bored manner. Nevertheless he consented to obey the doctor. But this enforced inactivity ranked in him; and each succeeding day found the patient importuning the medical man attendant to allow him to get out to business. Then, disgusted, he would lie back to cast imprecations at the inexorable physician. One morning the physician, after having been up all night on an important case, appeared at his patient's house at the usual hour. He had hardly stuck his haggard face inside the door, however, before the man in the bed gave him a quick glance and sat up. "Eh? ejaculated the patient. Then shoving out his hand to grasp the doctor's satchel, he added: "Doc, I guess you'd better get into bed here and let me go out with the medicine bag." FLY YOUTH. The Boss—Where did you work last?

A pamphlet recently issued by Andrew Murray gives a brief survey of missions south of the Zambesi. There are 31 different missionary organizations at work, ministering to over 10,000,000 people. The student volunteer movement in South Africa has put 84 young missionaries in the field since 1896. Poor. Patient Man. Mr. Henpeck—My dear, please don't call me "Leo" any more. Mrs. Henpeck—What foolishness are you thinking about now? Why shouldn't I call you "Leo." That's your name. Mr. Henpeck—I know, but it makes my friends laugh when you call me that; I was thinking you might call me "Job" just for a pet name. Demand for Artificial Flowers Makers of artificial flowers in New York city are receiving an unusual number of orders from all parts of the country for the fall and winter trade.

There are some quite remarkable things happening every day, which seem almost miraculous. Some persons would not believe that a man could suffer from coffee drinking so severely as to cause spells of unconsciousness. And to find complete relief in changing from coffee to Postum is well worth recording. "I used to be a great coffee drinker, so much so that it was killing me by inches. My heart became so weak I would fall and lie unconscious for an hour at a time. The spells caught me sometimes two or three times a day. "My friends, and even the doctor, told me it was drinking coffee that caused the trouble. I would not believe it, and still drank coffee until I could not leave my room. "Then my doctor, who drinks Postum himself, persuaded me to stop coffee and try Postum. After much hesitation I concluded to try it. That was eight months ago. Since then I have had but few of those spells, none for more than four months. "I feel better, sleep better and am better every way. I now drink nothing but Postum and touch no coffee, and as I am seventy years of age all my friends think the improvement quite remarkable." "There's a Reason." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mtch. Read "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. Ever read the above letter? A new one appears from time to time.

The grand lodge of Odd Fellows at Greeley voted to hold its next annual session at Pueblo. The Burlington Interurban Company has its profiles completed and expects to build its road from Hudson to Greeley within a year. On the 21st inst., for the first time in the history of Pueblo, there was not a case of contagion registered with the board of health, nor was there a case in quarantine. The Denver district of the Pullman car service is now under the superintendence of F. L. Wood, recently appointed and transferred from the Cincinnati district. According to Prof. C. E. Chadsey, city superintendent of schools in Denver, it is necessary for Denver, in order to keep pace with the growth of school population, to spend about $1,000,000 every five years for school buildings. While attempting to repair electric wires which had broken down under the heavy snows of Saturday night, J. J. McCloskey, bookkeeper and office man of the Northern Colorado Power Company in Louisville was instantly killed Sunday morning by touching a live wire. A live wire dangling in front of the door of the Lindquist cracker factory in Denver Monday morning caused the death of Joseph Henry, aged twenty-one, a baker in the establishment, who ran into the wire when he came to his work. The wire had been broken down by the snowstorm. Denver will have venison for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's feasts, judging from the number of storage permits being taken out in the office of the state game and fish commission. Over 200 permits have already been issued and many hundred deer are being stored in the cold storage rooms of various ice companies in this city. Without exception the bids submitted to the county commissioners of Pueblo county for the erection of the new court house exceeded the estimates of both architects and the board. Five bids were presented, the lowest being that of Frank Taylor of Pueblo, $448,308. Taylor contracts to use Turkey Creek stone and to complete the structure within two years. Charles H. McGuire, engineer at the Denver mint, stood highest in the examination given by the United States civil service commission to applicants for the position of inspector of mechanical and electrical engineering in the supervising architect's office in Washington. He has been ordered to report at Washington to assume the position. A. E. Williams, a blacksmith working for the Stratton-Granite company, sixteen miles north of Salida, was evidently a victim of the heavy snow storm that raged in that vicinity Sunday. He was last seen at the camp of the company and his frozen body was found beside the trail a short distance from the cabin. He had a brother in Aspen and a sister in Denver. A collision occurred on the Rock Isl and road at a siding between Ramah and Mattison at 11 a. m. Sunday between passenger train No. 8 and a west-bound freight train in which Frank Bishop, freight engineer, of Colorado Springs, Clarence G. Williams, fireman, and William Kline, engineer on the passenger train were severely injured. G. F. Hendy, mail clerk, received a severe cut on one of his arms. The grand encampment I. O. O. F. at Greeley on the 19th inst. elected the following officers: Samuel Andrew, Denver, grand patriarch; H. G. De Ternne, Pueblo, grand high priest; R. K. Jensen, Cripple Creek, grand senior warden; J. M. Norman, grand scribe; N. Koenig, Golden, grand treasurer; J. J. Hallack, Denver, grand junior warden; representatives to the grand lodge, F. C. Goudy, and L. Nicholson of Denver. Denver saloons must close on Sunday, according to the dictates of Judge H. C. Riddle of the West Side Court. In scathing language he arraigned officials who permit saloonkeepers to conduct their places of business on Sundays, and said that many crimes may be traced directly to Sunday saloons. Judge Riddle said that unless officials do their duty willingly, he will see to it that the law is enforced, personally, and as a judge of the District Court. At sunset Tuesday, the 20th inst., war against the deer of Colorado was declared off for another year, and possibly for several years. More than 5,000 deer were indiscriminately slaughtered, according to the statement of Game Commissioner D. E. Farr, who says he will endeavor to have the coming Legislature forbid the killing of deer until the loss has been made up. The fine for killing deer out of season is $100, or more, in the discretion of the court. One of the largest operations in skin grafting which has taken place in the Cripple Creek district for some time was performed a few days since at the Emergency hospital in Victor, when about 175 square inches of skin donated by friends was placed upon the body of the two-year-old son of R. A. Cramer of Hollywood. Postmaster Stone of Trinidad has received instructions from Washington to advertise for bids for the construction of a new postoffice and federal building for which there is an appropriation of $75,000.

Davis of Murray, Ky. says: "When I began using Doan's began using Boan's Kidney Pills, kidney disease was slowly poisoning me, Dizzy spells almost made me fall, sharp pains like knife thrusts would catch me in the back, and finally an attack of Kidney Pills, kidney disease was slowly poisoning me. Dizzy spells almost made me fall, sharp pains like knife thrusts would catch me in the back, and finally an attack of grlp left me with a constant agonizing backache. Doan's Kidney Pills helped me quickly and in three weeks' time there was not a symptom of kidney trouble remaining." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. WANTED IT OVER WITH. Game Youngster Preferred Drastic Action in Punishment. "Youngsters are pretty philosophical," observed Wallace Knight, and then he went ahead to set forth the point of view of a small daughter at his house. The child was sent to bed early the other evening as punishment for some act contrary to rules and regulations. After she had been tucked in bed for some time and was supposedly asleep, the youngster called her father and told him she wished he would go ahead and spank her and have it over with, instead of sending her off to bed that way. "This lying in bed never's going to make me any better," she said, "and a good spanking would. Besides it makes me so mad I can't sleep and so what's the use of it?"—Cleveland Plain Dealer. CURE AT CITY MISSION. Awful Case of Scabies—Body a Mass of Sores from Scratching—Her Tortures Yield to Cuticura. "A young woman came to our city mission in a most awful condition physically. Our doctor examined her and told us that she had scabies (the itch), incipient paresis, rheumatism, etc., brought on from exposure. Her poor body was a mass of sores from scratching and she was not able to retain solid food. We worked hard over her for seven weeks but we could see little improvement. One day I bought a cake of Cuticura Soap and a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, and we bathed our patient well and gave her a full dose of the Resolvent. She slept better that night and the next day I got a box of Cuticura Ointment. In five weeks this young woman was able to look for a position, and she's now strong and well. Laura Jane Bates, 85 Fifth Ave., New York, N. Y., Mar. 11, 1907." Congratulations Wanted On entering his club one evening not long ago a young Philadelphiaian was accosted by a friend, who exclaimed: "Why, Charley, you are positively beaming! What's up?" "I'm in the greatest luck imaginable," responded the other. "You know, I've been hanging about a pretty Yonkers girl for almost a year. During all this time she would never admit that she loved me; she would only say that she respected me. But now, old chap, congratulate me, for last night she confessed that she respected me no longer—that she loved me!"—Lippincott's. The Bride's Look. A girl about to be married worries so much she begins to look like an old married woman. In addition to worrying about her clothes and coaxing her folks to give her a new outfit, she sits up too late with her young man, and the result is an anxious, careworn look a week before the wedding that cannot be told from the look on the face of a woman who has been married a year or two. Look at the next girl you meet who is soon to be married, and you will remark that she has "aged rapidly."—Achison Globe. Ready. Whatever. Happens. "Work as though you were to live forever; live as though you were to die to night," says an old writer. It is counsel that fits many, though the man whose life is well insured may claim some exemption. He has no need of working as though death were ready to come, for he has already anticipated and guarded his dependents against the monetary distress that so often trails in the grim visitor's wake. As for the rest of the advice, his policies are tangible evidence of his noble forethought and readiness to die, if need be, to night. Fairy Tale. On the third finger of her left hand the sweet young thing wore a magnificent solitaire. "So you're going to marry a prince, are you?" said the necessary questioner." "A prince? I don't understand." "The son of a coal king." "Oh, yes," smiled the sweet young thing. "I'm to be his Cinder Ella." "Can you tell me what steam is?" asked the examiner. "Why, sure, sir," replied Patrick, confidently.

A stout and opulent man dwelling in a suburban town had borne the expense of the annual Sunday school picnic, and the superintendent of the school, out of gratitude, asked the benefactor to address the children. The philanthropist was not much of a speaker, but he was a master hand at poker. When he found himself gazing into the expectant faces of a hundred and fifty children his embarrassment almost overcame him, but he managed to stammer out: "My dear children, what I want to impress upon you is that—er—er—it pays to be good. That—er—er—a man who deals from the bottom of the pack is generally buried at the public expense." A Discomfiting Witness. The following colloquy took place between Councilor Sealingwax and a witness who "would talk back." "You say, sir, the prisoner is a thief?" "Yes, sir. 'Cause why, she has confessed she was." "And you also swear she worked for you after this confession?" "Yes, sir." "Then we are to understand that you employ dishonest people to work for you, even after their rascalities are known?" "Of course. How else would I get assistance from a lawyer?"—Argonaut. Deafness: Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the car. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the ear. If the ear is inflamed, the tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and the ear is entirely closed. If the ear is inflamed and the tube is taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarr, which is nothing more than a mild ear infection. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be caused by Hall's Catarr. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, O. Sold by Druzeists, 75c.

The Colorado Statesman 1824 CURTIS STREET ROOM 25. --- Entertainments priate for Festive Occasion "NOW, girls, don't forget next Friday at three; bring your thimbles." This was what Mme. Merri heard the first of the week as she passed a bevy of young girls on the corner. Scenting something new and novel the speaker was waylaid as she stopped in front of a shop window in which Hallowe'en favors were displayed in a most enticing manner. Really, I do not see how any one, old or young, rich or poor, is going to resist entertaining on this October 31, for never in the history of this quaint festival has such a fascinating line of novelties been shown. Even the post card man has cards for Hallowe'en with "saucy cats and jolly jacks." But to return to our "mutton," or, as it turned out to be, "ghosts." drop, any of the object article is to be a potato toothpicks; then a medicine, a beetle, will keep in motion futes. A piece of fur, anese snake, and a bib objects that will call for yard or two of sausag up and a glove filled wet will fill the hearts these articles will have ice chest for about 12 be thoroughly cold. When the articles have turned to the basket at hostess it will be funny the comments as to: The first course of the to be oyster cocktails, supper menu. With the The tall maiden with the scarlet bow on her hat walked a couple of blocks with me and with radiant enthusiasm unfolded this plan to me. I hope the suggestions will be in ample time for our readers to benefit by them. Twelve girls were to meet at her house, as she was to be the hostess. They were to cut and make 12 dominoes black as night for the special men who were to receive the following invitation: "On the night of Hallowe'en the ghosts will walk at (give place and bour). You are commanded to appear by order of the Twelve Royal Ghostesses. Please don the contents of this box." Paper cambric was to be used for the dominoes, with close-fitting arrangements to cover the head. The masks were to be of black, also. Then, to make matters more grewsome, they had procured 12 pastboard boxes to be covered with black crepe paper, on which a skull and crossbones in white were to be pasted. In these receptacles the men were to find the costumes. All the girls are to dress in white sheets, and each will carry a long lighted taper. They are to enter in single file into the room lit dimly after the men have arrived. The dining table is to be pure white, candles of white, unshaded, with a ghost favor for the men, a candle for each girl. At ten o'clock the cotton will be danced, with Hallowe'en favors exclusively. The refreshments are all to be in keeping. Cider frappe, Waldorf salad in red apples. Instead of one large cake, there are to be small ones, each containing a significant token, a key, heart, thimble, coin, etc. A "Cold" Hallowe'en Supper A young man who feels the weight of his social obligations, and who has a most obliging mother and sister, has asked eight guests to a "cold" supper on the night of Hallowe'en—four girls and four men. This is what it is to be like: First, the dining room is to be decorated with the usual Hallowe'en symbols, candles furnishing the only light. After the guests are seated at the table they are to be informed that they must pass whatever is passed to them; not to look, above all, not to A B THE size of the cot we wish to make must, of course, depend on the size of dolly, but large or small, the cot can be made in the same way. We shall, in all probability, find all the materials that we shall require ready to hand at home, so that no outlay of any kind will be necessary. First of all, we must select a strong wooden or cardboard box, large enough to hold dolly comfortably, and for which a pillow and a little mattress must be made to fit. Then a strong piece of wire must be obtained and bent in the shape shown, and fixed in position to support the drapery of the head. Should the box be a wooden one, then the end of the wire can be driven into the edge of the box, but if the box be of cardboard, then the end of the wire can be sewn on to the inside of the box with a stout needle and thread and so held in its place. B explains this, and A is the box with the wire support fixed in position and ready for the drapery. The larger sketch shows the way in which the drapery of the hood may be arranged, and the edges in front are trimmed with narrow lace. The sides of the box may also be trimmed with lace or any light material that may be handy, and a little ribbon is sewn on at each corner. The curtains are of muslin, edged with lace both sides, are cut in one long strip and thrown over the wire, to which they may be tacked to keep them in position. The pillow should have a little lace frilled cover, the sheet must be trimmed with lace, the counterpane and blankets to be made as dainty as possible. drop, any of the objects. The first article is to be a potato stuck full of toothpicks; then a mechanical toy; for instance, a beetle, big fly, one that will keep in motion for several minutes. A piece of fur, a jointed Japanese snake, and a bit of ice are objects that will call forth shrieks. A yard or two of sausage casing blown up and a glove filled with sand and wet will fill the hearts with terror. All these articles will have been in the ice chest for about 12 hours so as to be thoroughly cold. When the articles have all been returned to the basket at the feet of the hostess it will be funny enough to hear the comments as to what they are. The first course of the real supper is to be oyster cocktails, then a regular supper menu. With the dessert a huge pumpkin will be passed, into which each guest will put his hand, drawing out some quaint Hallow'e'en favor. When the hour for departure comes the men will be led to a window box in which as many cabbages as there are ladies present will be "growing." They will be pulled; on the root will be found the name of the lady who is to be protected from the witches and goblins that may be encountered on the way home. In olden days Hallow-e'en was sometimes called "cabbage night," and fortunes were told by going into a cabbage patch and pulling up the heads. One's future mate was determined by a crooked or straight root. INOGUE Khaki is much used in trimmings. All smoked effects will be a la mode. Street gowns will have little trimming. The waistcoat maintains its popularity. Autumn jackets are trimmed with large buttons. Half tones of all colors lead in winter materials. There is a short waisted effect in nearly all coats. The new neck ruches have achieved but little popularity. Hats will be worn as low as they can be put on the head. Cause of Muddy Complexion. Girls who are troubled with a muddy complexion and moth spots will usually find the cause due to a sluggish liver. The best possible remedy for a sluggish liver is lemon juice. Take the juice of half a lemon in just enough water to weaken the acid and with no sugar the first thing on rising. A brisk morning walk will do much to improve the condition of the liver and the general health. A ten-minutes' walk in the fresh morning air before breakfast will brighten one's spirits and health and will improve the appetite for breakfast. MADAME MERRI CARL ANDERSON, CANDIDATE FOR CO.

Bran as a Material for Cleaning Not Always Properly Appreciated— Changing Bed Linen—To Rejuvenate Shawl. Few people know how useful bran is for cleaning. For painted and varnished woodwork it is invaluable, removing the dirt without destroying the finish. Colored goods, which usually fade when washed, will not lose color if washed in bran water. It is excellent as a scalp cleanser and is good for the hair, making it glossy. Used instead of soap, it whitens and softens the hands. To prepare bran water, fill a small bag—an ordinary salt bag is excellent for this purpose—with bran, place it in a pail, cover with boiling water, and it is ready for use. Arrange to change the bed linen on the day you sweep your bedrooms. The soiled sheets may thus be drawn over the newly-made beds to keep the dust from the spread and pillows. It will take but a few moments to remove these sheets and shake out of doors before consigning them to the clothes hamper. To prevent matting from becoming yellow on the floor, wash off occasionally with a large coarse cloth which has been dipped in a strong solution of salt water. This will not only prevent it from becoming yellow, but will give the various colors a fresh and new look. The woman who finds her knitted shawl soiled after the summer's wear can make it look soft and clean by using cold water and white soap. She should fill a tub full of cold water with a quarter cake of pure white soap melted in it. Into this lather she should put the shawl, washing it well between the hands, rubbing the soiled spots between her thumbs. The shawl should then be rinsed thoroughly in clean cold water and hung to dry without wringing. All the time it is drying it should be shaken occasionally. Before it is entirely dry it can be pulled into shape, pinned to the bed or a large chair. When it is quite dry it might be folded into squares with a little satchet between and laid away until it is needed. If you cannot afford to pay 50 or 75 cents for place cards get the desired number of cards in any preferred size and decorate one corner of each card with artistic flowers. The little forget-me-nots, tied with blue ribbons, are just as dainty as can be. Get only very small flowers. If one is giving a birthday party it would be a clever idea to tie a birthflower to the card. English Beef. Four or five pounds of beef, scatter a little fine salt on bottom of roaster; the salt makes browning for the gravy; put in the beef, with three strips of beef fat on top; put in oven, baste often, no water; time, one hour and fifteen minutes. When partly cooked, turn, season, pepper and salt. When done put on hot dish, have dripping jar ready, pour off not quite all the clear fat without the brown; you have dripping for future roast or frying, thus saving on your lard. If you like gravy thickened, dust in a little dry flour in the pan, work well with spoon, then add boiling water, season, boil up and strain. All meats and poultry are far superior cooked in the above way, as water extracts the flavor. Chutney Sauce. For chutney sauce, take 12 green, sour apples, two green peppers, six green tomatoes, four small onions, a cup of raisins, a quart of cider vinegar, two tablespoonfuls of mustard seed, same of salt, one of powdered sugar, two cups of brown sugar, a tablespoonful each of ground mustard and ginger. Seed the raisins and peppers, then add tomatoes and onions and chop very fine. Put vinegar, sugar and spices on to boil, add the chopped mixture and simmer an hour. Then add the apples (pared and cored) and cook slowly till soft. Keep in cans or bottles sealed. Bordeaux Sauce. Six onions, three peppers, half gallon vinegar, one-quarter gallon cabbage (cut coarse), one-quarter pound ground mustard, two teaspoons celery seed, two teaspoons pepper, two teaspoons whole cloves, two teaspoons allspice, two teaspoons tumeric, two cups sugar. Salt to taste. Chop cabbage, tomatoes, onions and peppers. Salt, let stand all night. Place on stone next day, adding spices and vinegar. Cook 45 minutes after reaching the boiling point. Pack in stone jars. This makes about five quarts. To Lift Hot Pots A good way to remedy an iron handle which has a metal finger hold is to make a slit in one end of a cork and slip it on to the finger hold. In this way the handle may be removed from the iron without danger of burning the fingers. Sour Cream Cookies One cup sour cream, one cup butter, one and one-half cups sugar, one-half teaspoon soda, two eggs, a little nutmeg and vanilla, flour enough to roll. Handle as soft as possible.
