The Solution of this Vexed Problem Lies, for the Most Part, with the Race. VOL. XV. President-elect Taft Spoke in South Carolinans. His Negro. The Solut Problem Lies, Part, with President elect Taft talked to the North Carolina Society in New York, the other night. Like all who talk to the South, he talked about the Negro. Queer this Negro and the South. He is the whole thing when one crosses the imaginary Mason and Dixon Line. The president-elect talked very nice and yet without the veneer of "sop." that the sycophant hand to the poor Negro. The problem of the race and its tomorrow belongs to the race. It cannot be sublet to another people. Then what are we to do? This is a grave question. It is reduced to the very locality in which we live. It is not a question to be disposed of by a president or any other personage of prominence. It is a question to which each individual must give his earnest and careful attention and consideration. The president-elect talked to people away down East and a people more or less filled with prejudice against our people. Prejudice against our getting "out of our place." "Our place,"—that's the point. Our place in the background, out in the field, and away from "the maddening throng,"—that's our place as viewed by the North Carolina society. But we do not agree. The Negro is working seriously and conscientiously on this problem of the races. He is figuring out the place of men. The COLORADO STATESMAN is only advising. We have lived so long out here on the side of the mountains; we have seen so many changes among those of our people who have come to live out here. The problem of their life is the problem of our life. We are helping to open and develop one of the greatest empires the world has ever known. Here we take our place among men according to our abitity and what we are able to contribute to the welfare and advancement of society. With the greater opportunities comes greater responsibility. Our people must look well to their personal standing. Go in and out among the merchants, business men and laborers as do we each day and the value of this advice becomes apparent. The Negroes of Denver must be honest with themselves; honest in their living; honest in their relations with their fellow men. Here the season is on when one needs all that can come to man. He earns less and spends more. He is more than ever dependent on his fellow men for favors. With the coming of Christmas he desires very naturally to do more. Then the great need of personal credit is seen. Then the better understanding of "just being honest" with ourselves can be understood. With the closing of the year, let us as a people right here in Colorado and Denver close up the bad of the past. Let us resolve to live better in the worlds tomorrow. OPERATED ON BY NEGRO PHYSICIANS. Chicago, November 30.—An unusual case of confidence in the ability of colored professional men, and one which should serve as a serious lesson to the many intelligent men of the race, who, when in need of medical and surgical service employ white men, to the discredit of their own trained and professional men, recently occured in Chicago. Dr. Lewis M. Dunton for more than thirty years president of Claflin University, at Orangesburg S. C., a leading spirit of the Freedmen Aid Society, and a prominent figure in the councils of the M. E. Church, found that a serious surgical operation was necessary for his restoration of health. When this became known to friends in the community he was advised to go either to Roosevelt Hospital New York, or Wesley Hospital DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 12. 1908. Chicago, at little or no expense. He declined the offers, stating that he had decided to go to Chicago, place himself in the hands of Doctors W. H. Marshall and Daniel H. Williams. Accompanied by Mrs. Dunton, he arrived in Chicago October 29, and remained at the Auditorium Hotel until the return of Dr. Williams, who was then finishing his course of lectures at Meharry, in Nashville. Dr. Marshall made all necessary arrangements for his admission to Provident Hospital, and the operation was performed by Dr. Williams Tuesday, Nov. 3. Dr. Duton reacted satisfactorily from the immediate operation, and is making good headway. Dr. Marshall is a graduate of Claflin and is a close personal friend of Dr. Dunton. He is one of the rising young medical men of Chicago. RACE ADVANCING It would be interesting to know what our forefathers would say were they to awaken to life here on earth, and be given statistics of what the colored people have accomplished since their emancipation from slavery. In every city of the United States may be found able, educated and successful colored people, poets, artists, orators, elocutionists, teachers, clergymen and scholars, besides good business men and women. And yet the majority of white people in our country, even those of kindly interest in the colored race, persistently talk about the failure of the Negro to make progress and the problem which this failure presents to our country. The Negro has not failed; he has not proven himself incapable. He has, on the contrary, shown amazing power to rise out of the awful ignorance imposed upon him first by the savage conditions of his native land, and later by the fetters placed upon him by the white race. And now comes the discovery, by an archaeologist, of a buried city in Abysinia which brings to light treasures of art and shows indications of a high state of civilization once enjoyed by the Negro races of prehistoric times. It is the first ray of light which history or science has ever offered the colored race regarding their inherited qualities. Always has it been insisted upon that they were hopeless savages from the earliest start, and that any exception only proved the rule. It should give the colored race new hope and courage to know that its original state was one of culture and achievement. Meanwhile, the work important for the rank and file of the race today is that of being satisfied to do humble and simple duties well, until they can do more ambitious ones, and to cultivate the homely virtues and to take more pride in their homes. All over America, wherever the colored people have settled in communities, there is a painful evidence of their lack of pride in the making of an attractive home. Well dressed men and women come from dingy homes, ugly from the lack of a little paint or whitewash and where the light of day struggles through unwashed and uncurtained windows. Clean up and brace up good people, and realize how great have been your achievements in the past, and how wonderful they are in the present! An success to you!—Miss Ella Wheeler Wilcox in American Journal Examiner. RACE NEWS GAYHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES. Little Rock, Nov. 30.—A few days ago Allen Hatter a Negro farmer of Fourche Dam, and also constable of the place, sold on the streets of Little Rock 144 bales of cotton, which netted $7,344,85. M. D. Butts, near Calvert, Texas owns 600 acres of Robertson Co. land. He gathered 50 bales of cotton this year. He has 20 mules 50 Owls, 25 horses, 30 hogs, and hundreds of chickens, etc. He is said to be worth fully $30,000. Washington, D. C., Dec. 9. President Roosevelt today notified the secretary of war that as soon as it can be done without injustice he desires all Negro regiments in the army to be supplied with Negro bandmasters now connected with Negro companies. How many Negroes would answer "yes," if they were asked did they know that the successful coach of the football team of the Massachusetts State Agricultural College was a Negro, Mathew Bullock, the famous end on the Dartmouth football team of a few years ago? While speaking of the many industrial and financial institutions of credit that progressive Norfolk has in her midst, it would not be right to omit the Gideon Savings Bank, a banking business conducted by colored people. Their method of conducting their business dealing fairly with all, has brought them phenomenal success The total assets of the Pioneer Building and Loan Association of Greensbore, N. C., as shown by the recently issued annual report, are $18,561.73. The total valve of the eleven series issued up to that time was $15,336.70. Mr. J. E. Dellinger is president and Prof James B. Dudley is secretary and treasurer. Washington, Dec I.—It is understood that President Roosevelt has decided to reappoint W. D. Crum, the collector of the port of Charleston, S. C. His term expires this month. Booker Washington is said to have requested the retention of Dr. Crum. There has been no complaint from Charleston against the collector. Mobile, Ala., Dec. 1—Thousands attended the corner stone laying of the main exhibit building, which is being erected for the Negro Exposition to be held in this city in the fall of 1909. Many prominent Negroes were present, and the gathering was one of the largest and most distinguished that ever assembled in this part of the State. Kansas City, Nov. 30.—Charles Stevens, the colored man who stole $50,000 from a registered mail pouch nere several months ago, was found guilty today. The maximum penalty is 35 years in the penitentiary. He will be sentenced later. The pouch was being sent to New York from a Los Angeles bank. The money was never found and Stevens is thought to have buried it. The Baltimore Steam Boat Company, incorporated under the laws of Maryland with an authorized capital of $60,000, makes its initial bow to the public. Their certificate of incorporation authorizes them to engage in water excursions bathing, beach and hotel business. The whole outfit is owned and managed by a company of energetic business men of the race, with Mr. George W. Brown as president. Butte, Mont., Dec. 3.—The trial of Harry T. Smith, 21 years old, for a murderous assault on John A. Taylor, a Pullman portor, came to an end today when the jury announced a disagreement and were discharged. Smith tried to hold up a Pullman car in the yards here October 17, and when Taylor resisted, shot him, inflict ing a serious wound. After dismissal a juryman stated publicly that they had stood 11 to I for conviction, but that the man who held out did so on the ground that a white man should never be imprisoned for shooting a Negro. Lewistown, Pa., Nov 29.—I'm goin' ter kill you befor't this night's over," furiously declared Frank Lee, after a dispute with George Porter, his employer, in the latter's store here, late last night. Both were colored and Lee was employ- N.0.12 ed as a teamster by Porter, who was well-to do. They quarreled over the amount of wages due Lee. Slamming the door of the store, Lee went to his home a block away got his shotgun, loaded it with large shot and returned to the store. Suddenly throwing open the door he fired at Porter at close range. The full charge took effect shattering the right lung and cutting off two ribs. Porter died in a few hours. The first regularly organized State fair for Negroes ever held in South Carolina was opened the 10th of November and continued throughout the week. The press, both white and colored, pronounced it a decided success, not only in point of attendance but in the extensive display of exhibits representing almost every king of industry, and at the same time making an excellent showing in the educational field. Governor Ansel was the principal speaker of the eccasian, and his encouraging remarks were enthusiastically cheered by the 10,000 visitors present on the grounds. The Governor and hundreds of other white visitors expressed themselves as being agreeably surprised at the abundance, the varieth and the excellence of the exhibits. To add to the credit and good reputation of the race, the local papers observed that during the week the streets were crowded with well dressed and prosperous looking Negroes; that perfect order prevailed and not a drunken or disorderly one was seen anywhere. A NEGRO AT OXFORD. In accordance with the provisions of Rhodes' will, the Rhodes scholars are annually entertained at dinner by the trustees. Now one of the American scholars in Oxford at present is a Negro, a man of ability and general excellence of character. Naturally he was invited with the rest to the annual dinner. To the amazement of Oxford, some of the Americans from the Southern States refused to attend the friendly function! "We had heard of race-prejudice and race problems in America, but Oxford is not America, and the Negro under graduate is in a position of perfect social equality with the white man; he is one of us. We did not perhaps openly blame the men from the South; but we did feel that it was altogether wrong to introduce into Oxford prejudices of this kind, and be felt further that the influence of Oxford could not have penetrated very deeply into the minds of at least some of her American students. It is the business of educated gentlemen to overcome prejudice, not to foster it; and most assuredly Oxford is not the place in which to display it."—Ex. The Texas Club No gambling allowed.

IN LATE DISPATCHES DOINGS AND HAPPENINGS THAT MARK THE PROG- RESS OF THE AGE. WESTERN NEWS. The great government collier Prometheus was successfully launched at the Mare Island, Cal., navy yard on the 5th inst. The vessel was christened by Miss Dollie Evans, daughter of Naval Constructor Holdena Evans. The Carlisle Indian football team, in a game on the grounds of the University of Denver Saturday, defeated the university team by a score of 8 to 4. This showing places the Denver eleven high up in the list of football teams. The final bore in the Spring Garden tunnel of the Western Pacific railroad, the Gould extension to the Pacific coast, was made Friday, when fresh air passed through the entire length of 7,306 feet. This is the famous Beckwith Pass tunnel. As the result of the investigations of the federal internal revenue officers during the past two weeks concerning the violation of the United States laws in regard to the manufacture and sale of oleomargarine, fourteen men were arrested in Denver. Harriman interests have placed orders for general freight equipment valued at $1,250,000 for the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company. The new order consists of 1,000 50-ton box cars, and the deliveries will begin some time in January. Colenel and Mrs. Charles C. Bogardus have donated to the University of Michigan fifteen hundred acres of land, valued at $25,000, in Cheboygan county, as a permanent site for the summer camp of the engineering students of the university. Figures compiled by the city statistician of Chicago estimating the city's total inhabitants at 2,540,896 are declared by Robert C. Givins, of the Three Million Club, to be just 259,104 short of the correct total. In other words Mr. Givins estimates Chicago's population now at 2,800,000. Butte, Montana, is much excited over the statement that the President told John D. Ryan that he means to close every smelter in America whose fumes injure the forests, unless means can be devised to make sulphur smoke innocuous to vegetable life. He mentioned the smelters at Anaconda and at East Helena. That the Teller Indian school near Grand Junction, Colorado, will be abandoned and the $300,000 property donated by the government to the state to be used as a normal school is the statement made by Senator Teller in a telegram received at Grand Junction. Frederick A. Hyde of San Francisco, recently convicted of conspiracy to defraud the United States of large tracts of land in Oregon and Washington, has been sentenced in the District of Columbia criminal court to pay a fine of $10,000 and to serve two years in the penitentiary at Moundsville, W. Va. the maximum penalty under the law. An appeal was taken. The Borie cutoff on the Union Pacific railway between Denver and Cheyenne is now operated for all trains regularly. Engines which heretofore required a helper between Carr and Cheyenne, can pull the same weight over the cutoff without aid. The time at present will not be changed, although the new line gives an equivalent of fifteen minutes better speed in passenger trains and forty-five minutes for freight trains. GENERAL NEWS. It is reported that the last stage coach used in the Yellowstone park is to give way to an automobile. That the wave of opposition throughout the country to the liquor trade seems to be receding, was the keynote of the reports from various state organizations made at the closing session of the National Liquor League in Washington. The number of persons killed in India in 1907 by wild beasts was 1,960, as compared with 2,086 in 1906. The report says this is the lowest figure on record since the government has been gathering statistics on the subject. The budget committee of the Russian Duma has adopted the bill authorizing an external loan of $225,000,000. The president of the committee announces that the government has consented to a public discussion of the bill in the Duma. The low price of silver has not reduced the Canadian production, although it has caused some curtailment in the West. Rolly McIntosh, 76 years old, chief of the Creek Indians, died at his home near Stidham, Okla., on the 5th inst. McIntosh had been a representative of the tribe in Washington for the last ten years. The revolutionary army, 8,000 men strong, marched into Port au Prince, Hayti, at 8 o'clock Saturday morning, General Anton Simon was at its head, and he was given an ovation by the people of the city. The entrance of the soldiers was orderly. P. J. O'Connor, former national president of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, former national president of the Catholic Knights of America, died at Savannah, Georgia, on the 9th inst. The Putnam Hill chapter, C. A. B., at Greenwich, Connecticut, will be incorporated to take over the house in which General Putnam spent the night before his famous ride down the stone steps. The number of bonded whisky losses in Kentucky this year has caused many companies to consider whether a moral hazard is developing because of the rapid increase in the prohibition and local option sentiment. Much curiosity has been caused by an announcement from Wisconsin that the son of a wealthy resident of that state has applied for patents on a new type of motor car which he expects to market at $450. A total of 11,010,864 bales of cotton ginned from the growth of 1908 to Dec. 1st, and 26,922 active ginneries, against 3,343,396 bales ginned to Dec. 1st last year and 26,854 ginneries a year ago were announced in the census bureau report on cotton. Miss Mary Goodwin Pinkney, died in New York city on the 8th inst. at the age of ninety-nine. Miss Pinkney was credited with being one of the wealthy women of the world, the value of her holdings in Manhattan real estate being estimated at $10,000,000. Elks in New York are to spend $1,000,000 on a twelve story clubhouse, hotel and theater, at Forty-third street and Sixth avenue. Work on the structure which will be built by New York lodge No. 1 will begin within sixty days. It will be dedicated on Christmas eve, 1909. November fire losses have been heavy in the United States and Canada, and the month will be added to the long list of others in 1908 which have shown no profit for the companies. The total for the month is estimated $17,000,000, making the total for the year to date $225,000,000. This compares with $197,000,000 for the first eleven months of 1907. On the 4th inst. friends in New York publicly eulogized the late Grover Cleveland, who died June 24th. These tributes were paid at the memorial exercises which marked the opening session of the second annual meeting of the Association of Life Insurance presidents, of which organization Mr. Cleveland was chairman and general counsel at the time of his death. In the suit at New York to dissolve the Standard Oil Company, the government inquisitor, on figures submitted, showed that the Continental Oil Company, a Standard subsidiary in the Middle West, made profits of 115 per cent. on its capitalization of $300,000, and that the Standard Oil Company of Indiana on a capitalization of $1,000,000 earned about $55,000,000 between 1899 and 1906. The American Mining congress at its closing session in Pittsburg Saturday elected J. H. Richards, Boise, president; Dr. E. R. Buckley, Flat River, Missouri, first vice president; John Dearn, Salt Lake, second vice president; W. F. R. Mills, Denver, third vice president; J. F. Callbreath, Denver, secretary; directors, E. G. Bromley, Denver; M. Foster Bain, Urbana, Illinois, and Samuel A. Taylor, Pittsburg. Headquarters will remain in Denver. Younful air craft enthusiasts at Columbia University, New York City, forming the University Aero Club, are soon to have an aeroplane and a dirigible balloon for experimental purposes. The balloon and flying machine will be presented to the club by a donor whose name has not been made public. It is probable that a meet in which machines of the students will compete will be held at the university in the spring. Jay Gould II. is an enthusiastic member of the organization and it is said will contribute to the cause. NEWS FROM WASHINGTON.

Secretary Cortelyou Monday announced that the Panama canal bonds had been sold at an average of 102.4368. The lowest accepted bid was at 102.2778. There were 159 accepted bids amounting to $30,000,000. Six hundred and seventy-two bids were rejected, amounting to $72,808,800. The total number of regular bids, therefore, was 831, subscribing for $102,808,800. A bill introduced by Representative Townsend of Michigan gives to the Interstate Commerce Commission the power to prohibit an advance in rates in cases in which shippers individually or collectively protest against, the advance prior to the expiration of the legal thirty days' notice. The bill places the burden on the carrier to show at subsequent hearings on the proposed rates that the increased rates are just and reasonable. Republican senators at a largely attended caucus unanimously elected Senator Hale of Maine chairman to succeed the late Senator Allison, in the chairmanship of the steering committee, which determines all important legislation of that body. Moving pictures of wolf hunts turned the east room of the White House Tuesday night into a miniature theater. Nearly 100 invited guests made up the audience. The "stage manager," was John Abernathy, friend of the President and United States marshal from Oklahoma, who catches wolves with his hands.

Of course, we college Dboys have to keep in the swim, so that is why you sce all this sprouting down on the campus.” ° Fe HUTA 2 | Mvdrconopia Fius. | A little girl came running to tell about a mad dog she had seen. “We saw a mad dog!” she gasped, but the words seemed too tame to do justice to the situation. “Oh, he was mad! mad!” she added, frowning and pump- ing her fists. “He was furious!”— Harner'a Weeklv. PRESIDENT WOULD START CRIM. INAL SUIT AGAINST AUTHORS OF CANAL SCANDAL. LAWYER CONNECTED WITH PUR. CHASE ASSERTS THERE WAS NO CROOKEDNESS. ‘Washington.—“If they can be reached for criminal libel, I shall try to hav> them reached,” said President Roosevelt in speaking Thursday after- noon sbout “those Americans who have been guilty of infamous false- hood concerning the acquisition of the property and the construction of the (Panama) canal itself.” It was to the committee of 100 of the Lakes to the Gulf Deep Waterway Association, headed by Governor De- neen of Illinois, received by the Pres- ident in the East room of the White House, that he made this declaration. Governor Deneen had presented a copy of the resolutions adopted by the association and made a few remarks to which the President replied as fol- lows: “I have felt, as the governor has so well put it, that no more important service could be rendered to this coun- ‘try then the building of the Panama canal between the Atlantic and the Pacific, and one thing I am proud of in connection with the building of that canal is that there has ‘mot been legitimate cause for the jreath of scandal connected with any feature of the proceeding. “Wo have cause to be ashamed of only one set of Americans in connec- tion with the building of the canal, and that is of those Americans who have Leen guilty of infamous false- hood concerning the acquisition of | the property and the construction of the canal itself. If they can be reached for criminal libel I shall try to have them reached. If not, at any rate, all the facts we know, or ever have known, are at the disposal of each «nd every one of you here and of anyone in Congress, if they wish to | see them. “Next only in importance from the physical standpoint to building — the Panama canal comes the question of developing the use of our own water- | ways. That must be done by the policy of irrigation at the headwaters up in the arid regions; and where you come from, gentlemen, it is to be done by making our seacoast lake a big loop in from the Gulf of Mexico to the Great Lakes, and we will see that that work is done just as honestly, just as efficiently, as the Panama ca- nal work has been done; and no work could bave been done from beginning [eeacee ara honestly or more effi: ciently.” William Nelson Cromwell, the New York lawyer and financier, who is conyersant with every phase of the negotiations culminating in the pur: chase of the French canal interests and with the dispositions of the mon- eys paid by the United States, in a lengthy statement Thursday declared that there was no crookedness or grafting and that so far as he knows no Americans shared in the distribu- tion of the purchase money, which he says was handled and apportioned by the French government. Boss Ruef Found Guilty. San Franeisco.—Abraham Ruef, for mer political boss of San Francisco, was convicted of bribery Thursday. The verdict was returned exactly at 4 o'clock, the deliberations of the jury occupying twenty-four hours. ‘The warnings of Judge Lawler and the vig- Slance of the police checked any dem- onstration, although the excitement in- the court room was so intense that men were thrust down into their seats or held in the grasp of detectives as they rose to obtain a better view of the proceedings. By previous agreement of counsel that the bill of exceptions should be settled later, the court set Dec. 12th as the day for pronouncing judgment. Ruef’s conviction renders him liable to a maximum of fourteen years in the penitentiary. Great Financier Optimistic. Chicago—“Any man who is a bear on the future of this country will go broke.” J. Pierpont Morgan, in a cir- cle of friends and business associates, at the Chicag> Club Thursday, pointed to this sentiment, given to him years ago by his father, as the basis of his businezr career, and the secret of his unfailing optimism in spite of panics and reverses, Extra Session on Tariff. Waskington—William H, Taft said Thursiay that it was his belief that the Hovse would make an “honest and thorough revision of the tariff” at the extra. session which he will call for that purpose. The belief bases on a conference he had with Speaker Can- non and in a session with the Repub- lican xembers of the ways and means commiitee. Mr. Taft said he had not consulied with senators on the sub- fect, indicating the tremendous pres- sure upon his time as thet reason. COMPANY INCORPORATED TO BUILD AN EXTENSIVE IN- TERURBAN SYSTEM.

H, Hurlburt, president; Theron Stev- ens, vice president, and Frank P. Tan- ker, cashier of the defunet bank of Ou- ray, against whom indictments were returned last week, today accepted ser- vice without the capiases being for- mally served and all were bound over to the June term of the District Court, bonds for Hurlburt and Stevens being fixed at $15,000 and for Tanner at $10, 000. Nine counts each were found against Hurlburt and Stevens and five counts against Tanner.

Denver.—A Fort Morgan dispatch ot the 9th inst, says: It is reported that about 200 antelope are feeding in al- falfa fields six miles southwest of here. These animals have been forced by she heavy snows to seek feed. Yes- terday two bands, one numbering 125 and the other about 75, came in from the hills southwest of here. They haye lived in this section since the law has been protecting them and at times have gone into settlements south of here. During the summer and in fact at nearly all times of the year they are quite tame. Some cattlemen have compiained that they roamed over win- ter pastures and spoiled the range. At a ranch thirty miles south of here a large bend is being fed with the ranch. man’s sheep. Murder Sianect: Heard From. Denver.—A Republican special from ‘Trinidad Monday night says: — Mar- tinez, the suspected slayer of four members of the Garcia family, who were found with thelr heads split open: Friday afternoon, has been tracked to a point fifteen miles south of the Gar- cla rauch, he having two horses, one of which the missing girl, Maggie Gar- cia, is supposed to be riding. A note scrawled on an envelope found on the table of the Garcia home, in a pirl's handwriting, says: “I am to blame for it all.” It is believed that the note was writ- ten by the girl under threats of death.

LOOK WHO'S HERE, JUST as in the Spring the young man’s fancy gently turns to thoughts of love, so the first days of December turn the thoughts of young and old to the advent and celebration of the Christmascseason, with its chief functions of good cheer, liberality amd the dispensing of thoughts and things that tend to create and inerease happiness. Christmas clothes, Christmas furnishings and the thousand details which are ineluded in the preparations necessary to have our dreams come true, begin to picture themselves in busy brains with the drawn of the first day of the first winter month. But always. before the thought of the multitude runs the thought of the merehant. Just as carefully as the parent plans and prepares for the children, or the children for the parent, and perhaps more caréfully still, the wise merchant thinks and plans and prepares for us all, anticipating our fan- cies or creating real and practical dreams that go beyond our fancies and command our admiration and delight. ‘The merchants of Denyer enjoy well-earned reputations for keen design and perception of the public taste, and for the development of that taste by selecting, acquiring and displaying the choice fancies of the world’s markets for this great sale season, and we have often said truthfully that Denver's leading stores ean be compared with pride with the finest and best stores anywhere in the United States. These displays are now in their prime and glory and are partially told of on our display advertising pages, but it is well to remember that the early shopper sees more and better bargains than the one who delays his purchases. Most people delay, it is.true, and the erush comes in the week preceding Christmas, but the best and the wisest purchases are made before that time. More early purchasing means better purchases. Look over the newspaper for ideas and then take a walk through the stores and examine the bargains displayed, and do this) now. It means an earlier start and a longer period of that holiday de- light which refreshes the world for the beginning of another year. NEGRO GOVERNMENT ON TRIAL. d of Hayti is furnishing an object lessoi lays, fer the observation and delectation cture has its spectacular sides, but alto to the Negro. Another revolution is i ter the last attempt to overthrow the | down by the Soldiers of President No THE island of Hayti is furnishing an object lesson in Negro goy- ernment these days, fer the observation and delectation of the civilized world. The picture has its spectacular sides, but altogether it is not very ereditable to the Negro. Another revolution is in progress just nine months after the last attempt to overthrow the government was so savagely put down by the soldiers of President Nord Alexis. This time the revels have been more suceessful, and, under the leadership of General Simon, have taken Port au Prince, the eapital city, without fir- ing a shot, and have compelled Nord Alexis to flee for his life, and take refuge on a French warship in the harbor. General Simon's army was too large and too well equipped to be opposed. Nine months ago Nord Alexis had his soldiers hunt out and shoot down without trial the lead- ers of an ineipient rebellion, but his enemies only multiplied. Now, immediately upon the success of General Simon, a half dozen aspirants for the presideney of the Negro republic have loomed up. Ot this writ- ing there is grave danger of further strife the question of who shall be president. Hayti lies close to the United States, but we know little about her internal affairs. It is evident that her people have followed too closely the idea of military rule. Nearly every rich man appears to be a general, and to have a little army of his own ready to back his aspirations for political honors. Naturally this idea is readily accom- panied with the idea of government by fear. ‘The main purpose of the Haytien army is to enforce the policies of the President, for the time being, and to put down revolutions, President Rooseyelt’s big stiek in this country is discounted by a big gun in Hayti. Free and fair: elections and aequieseence with the will of the majority are neces- sary prineiples of government which the Haytiens do not seem to have learned to appreciate. Then, too, the Negroes of Hayti, reared in the Frenci: school and with traditions of military powess inflating their natural sense of pride, incline to old-world ways rather than to the manners of the new world, to which they are so close a neighbor, Her people need to take warning if they desire to remain their own rulers. European governments have long hungered for their control and have been restrained only by the Monroe Doctrine of the United States. But the United States will not allow Hayti to continue forever in tur- moil. Negroes everywhere wish to see the Haytien government sur- vive. Negro governments are few, but some are successful. The fur- ther the Negro gets away from savagery and the savage art of war, the more capable he will become of self government. Railway Problems By GEORGE A. POST, President Railway Business Association. IE railroad problems of the future are radically different from those of the past. Not the conquering of the wilderness; not the connecting of the east and west, but the development of a vastly improved system which shall concentrate every device of modern science to the increase of celerity in movement of traffic. We must have more tracks; freight tracks independent of passenger tracks, devices of acceleration at junction points; time-Saving mechanism at terminals, and more and betier equipment. It is upon these great problems of transportation that the American peovle and their representatives shanid concentrate their attention, dismissing the phantom problems, born of pique or prejudice, which have made recent railroad discussion at once tragic and ridiculous. ‘The crying need of the hour is that government officials and the pub- lic generally, in considering railruad problems, shall show, not their power, but their wisdom. It is for railroads as America’s most potent means to national pros- perity and growth that I am an advocate; railroads with Herculean finan- cial strength to cope with the problems of the future. Our mission is to clarify the atmosphere so that the people will look upon railroads as tre- mendous agencies of civilization, which have a record of glorious achieve ment, with their mental vision undimmed by too much contemplation of mere human error in their administration. Railroads must, of course, be operated by men, men with knowledge and genius, intermixed with human frailties. But men come, and they pass, adding their mental mite to the great work, while railroads must go on forever, growing greater and greater, and doing greater things as years go by. If Americans are wise to their own selfish interests, they will foster, they will guard them with the jealous care of patriotism and see that no harm shall come to thems By Dr. Carl A. H. Anderson. years and seven months; at 60, 11 years and one month. Now it is, at 20 years of age, 41 years and seven months; at 30, 34 years and six months; at 40, 27 years and four mokihs; at 50, 20 years and two months; at 60, 13 years and nine months. From this it will be seen that, at least in the United States, we are doing well. ‘The causes for this good show- ing are, mainly, better care of children than formerly, better sanitation, better understanding of the desiructive germs, and betier care bestowed on the sick by physicians and murses. Little or nothing has €o far been done for combating ailments peculiar 1o old age, not diseases properly so called, but a degeneration, a senile change, which to a considerable degree is capable of shortening human life. It is a well-known fact that the atrophy of the nerve endings, and the hardening of the walls of the blood yessels—arteries, veins and capil- laries—caused to not a small extent by calcareous infiltration and other senile changes, are the greaiest factors in shortening life in old age. ‘These senile changes commence their destructive work at about the age of 50, some earlier,'some later... The deposit of lime-salt in the walls of the blood vessels is often associated with atrophy and fatty degeneration, increasing, the rigidity, interfering to not a small extent with the proper function of the vessels. We have at our command some very simpie means by which to com- bat these senile changes, that life may be prolonged in persons of 50 or so, from 5 to 20 years, namely: Massage, prescribed wovements, exercise and proper feeding. Massage should be had every day, or every other day, but not less than every fourth day, and this can be self-administered with a little practice. By PROF.

Dressing fashionably, dressing claborately is often so strongly impressed even upon the youngest children‘ that it’ prevents them from concerning themselves about things of much greater value to them. Cleanliness is a virtue not demanded from the factory hand while at work, but children while at play are constantly reprimanded because of their dirty hands, spots on their clothes, ete. So frequently are they called away from their real life because of this, and so dressed up are many of them (because the father can afford it and the mother likes it) that netural,.intense, wild play is gradually replaced by occupations of lesser value, or by systematic games, like tennis, basketball and baseball. Spontaneozs action and natural growth take place when children are left unincumbered by critical adult supervision during their free play hours. They are naturally diggers of the dirt, waddlers in puddles, climb- ers of trees and fences and balustrades. Real boys and girls are rovers in field and forest, in alleys and dan- gerous places. Real boys and girls are fascinated by the most grewsome ghost stories, and they listen to the most impossible fairy tales with breath- Jess attention and keenly enjoy the inner battle between fear and courage. Prolong Your Allotted Span Young America Too Dainty Future Prosperity Depends on Sane Solution Whatever born with life must die, has so far in human experience been an im- mutable law. We grow old and pass away, leaving room for others, and they taking the places we once occupied. No more need there be said of that, but can human life be made to span a longer space between the cradle and the grave? ‘The answer is “Yes.” From what we know of the earliest statis- ties at the time of Buffon 150 years ago, the average probabilities of thé duration of life were as follows: At 20 years of age, 33 years and five months; at 30, 28 years; Be 22 vearaland onelionthe ah B00 16 Not least among the detriments to a natural development of children is fashion, a forced culture of vanity and extrava- gance> Not only do the parents but also the teachers set the example. ‘To follow slavishly all the extravagances of fashion appears to be a far stronger tendency than the desire to be refined and simple.

KILLS THE GIRL AND HIMSELF ee -FRANCISCO MARTINEZ FINISHES | HORRIBLE CRIME IN SOUTH- | ERN COLORADO. FIVEFOLD MURDERER eee BEAUTFUL GIRL, AS. SAULTED AND FINALLY | SHOT HER. | Denyer.—A Trinidad special to The Republican Tuesday night says: De tails of one of the most revoltins crimes or series of crimes in the an- nals of the West and which have ‘caused people to shudder at their aw- fulness, are given by parties from this city who returned today from the ex- treme eastern part of the county, ‘where Francisco Martinez murdered four members of the Garcia family last Wednes‘lay—the father, mother, son and grandmother, abducted Mag: gie Garcia, a seventeen-year-old girl whom he held as a prisoner until Sun- day night, completely at his merey, as saulting her at will, then sent a bul- let through her brain, which must have been a welcome relief from her tortures, and finally took his own life to escape death at the stake, which he knew awaited his capture alive. While the community was prepared for a story full of horror, it was not prepared for the awful details given today. Everything indicates that Martinez premejiitated the murder, as last Tues- day he was seen sharpening an axe while the elder Garcia turned the grindstone for him, Martinez was given shelter at the Garcia home Wed- nesday night and, after the family had retired and he was satisfied that all were nsleep, he crept upon them and killed first the son, twenty-five years of age, the only member of the family who could have fought for his life. Then the father, seventy-five years of age, and the mother, fifty-two years of age, were attacked, he splitting their heads clear to their chins, Theu going to the bed of the aged grand. mother, Luz Gurule, who slept with the seventeen-year-old girl, he dragged her from the bed, as the mark on her arm plainly indicates, so that he could reach the girl, Later he killed the grandmother while she knelt in prayer at the foot of the other three members who had been slain, and while she was hold: ing a crucifix in her hand, Her head was split through the center clear to her neck, and she fell to one side and lay across the feet of Mrs. Garetity Her kiees were bent under her, show- ing that she was praying when mur- dered. After four of the family had been sw ruthlessly slain, he turned his attenticn to the beautiful seventeen- year-old girl, who was to later suffer torture worse than a thousand deaths, With the bodies of his victims, hor- _ribly Uutchered, in plain view, Marti- nez assaulted the girl, she being too heiplers and too terrified to desist. The fiend then forced the girl to accompany him, As it was necessary for her to change clothing she secured one of her brother’s coats and an over- coat of her tather. Martinez took no horses, and dragving the terrified girl with lum, siarted for the hills and Rock Canon, east of the Garcia home. The murder did not become known until Friday, when three posses were started in pursuit, The last seen of Martinez and the girl alive was about 4:00 oclock Sunday afternoon, when one of the posse tracked them to a rocky canon, nearly thirty miles away, One member of the posse fired at Mar tinez, when the latter placed the girl between himself and his pursuers and retreated up the canon among the rocks, which are inaccessible to horses. The posse was composed en- tirely of Mexicans, already terrified at the murders committed and in deadly fear cf Martinez. ‘These men re- turned to tue. Garcia home and there found Under Sheriff Kreger, who had left here the Saturday before. ‘The officer went back with the pos- se, arriving at the hiding place of Mar- tinez carly Monday morning. Kreeger led his men along the rocks until they found the bodies of the two, Martinez was in a sitting position against a large rock, and about ten feet beiow him, lying face down, wheve it had fallen from a ledge of rock after the fatal shot, was the dead body of the girl. She had been shot between the eyes, the bullet passing through her head. Martinez had placed the weapon against his right temple and ended his own worthless life, tearing the top of his head nearly off. ‘The body of the girl was carried on the shoulders of the men down the canon to the road, where it was placed on the wagon and taken to the Gar- cia home, The party arrived just as funeral services were being held over the bodies of the other four vittims, | RE Pe Washington.—After being in session an hour, the House of Representatives which met at noon Monday for the sec- ond session of the sixtieth Congress, adjourned out of respect for the mem- ory of several of its own memVers and of Senator Allison. At the opening session of the Senate, Vice’ President Fairbanks called the Senate to order and Rey. Edward Everett Hale made the opening prayer. An immediate ad- journment for the day was taken in honor of the memory of the late Sena- tor Allison of lowa.

URGES CHANGES IN LAWS Present Currency System Qeclared Imperfect—Control of Corporations the Province of the Nationa! Gov. ernment—Conduct of Labor Lead- ers Criticised—For Postal Savings Banks. Washington.—In his message to congress, read-in hoth houses Tues- day, President Roosevelt makes im: portant suggestions as to what he considers necessary legisiation. ‘The president congratulates the na- tion on its present excellent financial standing, but calls attention to the need of remedying defects in the cur- rency system. He says: The financial standing of the nation at the present time is excellent, @nd the Myancial management of the nas tion's Interests by: the government dur- ing the last seven years has shown the most satisfactory results, But our cur- reney system is Imperfect, and ft Is eat- ently {o be hoped that the currency cammission will be able to propose a ,tiproughly good system which will do away with the existing defects. During the period from July 1, 1901, to September 30, 1908, there was an ‘Increase in the amount of money in circulation of $902,991.39, ‘The Increase in the per capita during this period was $7.05, Within this time there were several occasions when At was necessary for the treasury de- partment to come to the rellef of the Money market by purchases or redemp- tions of United States bonds: by inereas- Ang deposits in national banks: by. stim- lating additional issues of national bank notes, and by facilitating importations from abroad of gold. Our import ct cur- rency system has made these proceedings mecesnary, and they wore effective until the monetary disturbance in the fall of IMT Immensely Increased the difficulty of ordinary methods of relief. By the mid- dle of November the available working Balance in the treasury had been reduced to approximately $5,000,000, Clearing house associations throughout the coun- try had been obliged to resort to. the expedient of issuing clearing house cer- tifleates, to be used as money. In this emergency It was determined to invite subscriptions for $50,000.00 Panama cazial bonds, and $100,000.00 three per cent certificates of Indebtedness authorized by the act of June 13, 1898. Tt was proposed to redeposit in the national banks. the Proceeds of theso issues, and to permit their use as a basis for additional circu- Tating notes of national banks, — ‘The moral effect of this procedure was £0 Ereat that It was necessary to Issie only $44,631.98 of the Panama bonds and $15,- $436,500 0f .the certificates, of Indebtedness, During the period from July 1, 1001, to September 80, 198, the balance ‘between the net ordinary ‘receipts and the net ordinary expenses of the goverment showed a surplus in the four years 192, 1903, 1908, and 1907, and a deficit in the years 1904, 105, 1908 and a fractional part Of the fiscal year 1903. ‘The net result was a surplus of $99,253,412.54, ‘The finan- clat operations of the government during this period, based upon these differences between receipts and expenditures, re- sulted In a net reduction of the interest- Dearing debt of the United States from $987,111,000 to. $997,253.90, notwithstanding that there had been two sales of Panama canal bonds amounting in the agarexate to $54,631,990, and an issue of three per cent. ‘certificates of indebtedness under €ho ‘net of June 18, 18%, amounting to $15,495,00, Refunding operations of the treasury department under the act of March 14, 1900, resulted in the eonver- sion into two per cent. consols of 193) of $200,000.40 bonds bearing higher rates of fnterest. A decrease of §8687.956 In. the Annual Interest charge ‘resulted from ‘these, operations. Id short, durinz the sven years and three months there has been a net silt- plus of nearly one hundred millions of Tecelpls over expenditures, a reduction of the interest-bearing debt. by ninety millions, in spite of the extraordinary ex pense of the Panama canal, and a saving of nearly nine millions onthe annual interest charge . The message reiterates the well know~ views of the president that the control of great corporations, espe- clafly, the railroads of the country, should be vested in the national goy. ernment.- He says: ‘T'bélleve that it fs worse than folly to attempt to prohibit all combinations as ts done by the Sherman. antl: trust law, because such a law can be enforced only imperfectly and un- requally, and its enforcement works al. Most as ‘much hardsilp as good, I strongly advocate that instead of an un- wike effort to prolibit ail combinations, there shall be substituted a Jaw’ whieh shall expressly permit combinations which are in the interest of the public, Dut shall at the same time give to some agency in the national government. full Hower of control and supervision over them: ‘The railways of tha country should be :put completely under the Interstate com- merce commission and removed from the domain of the ‘unil-trust. law, ‘The power of the commission should be made thoroughgoing, 0 that it could exercixe complete supervision and control, over the issue of securities as well as over the raising and lowering of rates, As fegards rates, at tenst. this pawer should do summary. Rates must be made ‘as low as is compatible with giving prop- fer Tr Urns to all tho einployes of the rall fond, from the highest to the lowest, and ‘proper returns to the shareholders, ‘but they must not, for instance, be re: Giiced in such fasiiion us to necessitate @ cut in the waxes of the employes. of ‘the abolition of the proper and legitimate wrofits of honest slarshoiders, Interests of the Wageworker, Turning to conditions aitecting the ‘wageworker and the man of small aneans, the president says Postal Savings banks will make tt senay for the poorest to keep thelr sav- Ange in absolute safety. ‘The regulation of the national highways must be such that they shall serve all people with equal justice. Corporate fuances must be sepervined so as to make it far safer than at present for tho man of small means to Invest his money In stocks, ‘There must be prohibition of child la- bor, ..minution of women labor, shirt. ening of hours of ail mechanical labor; stock watering should be prohibited, BUM akhal en ratlinn GA telee Ta ida. ness, ABS far as concerns those who have been worn out, T call your attention to the fact that definite steps toward providing old-age _pen- sions have been taken In many of ottr private Industries. ‘These may be in- definitely extended through. voluntary association and contributory schemes, or through the agency. of s.:inss banks, as under the Massachusetts plan. q Urgent Need of Reform, Our present system, or rather no sys~ tem, Works dreadful wrong, and Is of benent to only one class of people—the lawyers. When a workman. fs Injured what he needs is not an expensive and doubthit lawsnit, but the certainty of relief through iinmediate administra- tive action, No academe theory | about “freedom of contract” or “constl- tutional liberty to contract should be permitted to Intertere with this and similar movements I renew. my recommendation that the principle of the efzht-hour day should as rapidly and as far as practi sable be extended to the entire work being carried on by the government: the present Inw should be amended to! embrace contracts on those publie works which the present wording Of the act seems to exclude, Judges Too Poorly Paid. Coupled with a eulogy of the ju- diciary of the nation the president urges that, beginning with the su- preme court, the judges should have their salaries doubled. As was to be expected, the attitude assumed by certain labor leaders dur- ing the recent election comes in for bitter criticism. The president as- serts that de-nands made on congress, for legislation were unjust and im- practical and could but work harm to the cause of labor, While declaring that our judicial system is sound and effective at core, the president says: There are certain decisions by various courts which have been exceedingly det rmental to the rights of waxe-workers, This ts true of all decisions that decide that men are, by the constitution, "guar- anteed thelr ilberty™ to contract to enter a dangerous occupation, or to work an undesirable or Improper number of hours, or to work tn unhealthy surroundings! and therefore cannot recover damages when maimed In that occupation, and cannot be forbidden to work what the legislature decides Im an excessive num- ber of hours. or to carry on the work under conditions whieh the’ legislature decides to be unhealthy. ‘There Is also, T think, ground for the belief that substantial injustice Is often suffered by emploves in consequence of the custom of courts Issuing temporary Injunctions without notice to them, and punishing them for contempt of court in Instances where, ag a mitter of fact, they have no knowledge of any proceed: ings. Organized labor Is chafing under the unjust’ restraint "whieh comes from repeated” resort to” this plan of procedure, Injunction Must Remain, ‘The power of injunction is a great equitable remedy, which should on no account be destroyed, But safeguards should be erected against its abuse, In substance. provision should be made that_no Infinetion, “or temporary re- straining order issue otherwise than on notice, except. where irreparable injury Would’ otherwike result; and In such case & hearing on the merits of the order should be had withln a short fixed pe- riod, and, If not then continued after Hearing, it should forthwith lapse, Dee cisions should be rendered immediately, and the chance of delay minimized in [every way. “Moreover, T believe that the procedure should be sharply delined, and the Judge required minutely to state the particulars both of his action and of his Teusons therefor, #0 that the congress can if it desires examine and investigate the same. Harm Worked by Law. Discussing measures necessary for the proper control of giant corpora- tions operating In defiance of law, the president says: Real damage has been done by the manifold ond conflicting interpretations 01 the interstate commerce law. Con- trol over the great corporations doing Interstate business can be effective only If je ts vested with ful power In. an administrative department, a branch ot the federal executive, carrying out a federal law; it can never be effective It a divided responsibility {3 left ta both the states and the nation; (t can never be effective if left In the hands of the courts to be decided by lawsuits, The courts hold a piace of peculiar and deserved sanctity under our form of gov ernment. Respect for the law Is essen- {ial to the permanence of our Institi- tions: and respect for the Jaw is largely conditioned upon respect for the courts, It 1s an offense against the republic to say anything which can weaken this re- spect, save for the gravest reason and in the most carefully guarded manner. In no other nation In the world do the courts wield such vast and far-reaching power asJn the United States, All that is nec~ essary is that the courts as a whole should exercise this power with the far- sighted wisdom already shown by. those Judges who sean the future wlille they act in the present. ’ Forest Preservation, The manifest necessity for forest preservation is pointed out as a duty the present generation owes to its de- scendants, and the president cites the case of China, where reckless de-for- estation has resulted in creating des- erts, as an object lesson. Inland Waterways, Immediate action by the present session of congress for the improve- ment of our inland waterways the president declares to be imperative. He recommends the creation of a per. 7 people, should be utilized to the fullest practicable extent. Education. Dealing with the important subject of education, the president says: With the limited iaeans hitherto pro- vided, the burean ‘of e ducation’ tas rendered efficient service, but the eon Erers has neslected to adequately sup. ply the bureau with means to meet the educational growth of the country. 1 earnestly recommend that’ this aun: fortunate state of aftalrs as regards the national educational office be reme= died by adequate appropriations. ‘This recommendation is urged by the repre, sentatives of our common schools and great state universities and the leadin< educators, who all unite in requesting favorable consideration and action by the congress upon this subject. ‘The president points out the neces- sity of better organization of the yari ous bureaus responsible for the public health, and urges the placing of all soldiers’ homes under the jurisdiction of the war department. Statehood, On the question of statehood the president says: T advocate the Immediate admission ot New Mexico and Arizona as states, “Phis should be done at the present session of the congress. ‘The people of the two ter ritorles have made it evident. by thelr votes that they will not come in as one state. ‘The only alternative Is to admit them as two, and I trust that this will be done without delay. Interstate Fisheries. An international agreement con cerning interstate fisheries is at pres ent being attempted, and in this eon- nection the message continues: I call the attention of the congress to the Importance of the problem of the fisherias In the Interstate waters.-'On the Great Lakes we are now, under the vers wise treaty of April 11 of this year, en deavoring to. come to an internations! agreement for the preservation and sat Isfactory use of the fisheries of these wa ters which can not otherwise be achieved Lake Erie, for example, has the tlehest fresh water fisheries in the world; but {t Is now controlled by the statutes of two nations, four states, and one province, and this province by two different ordi nances in. different counties. All these political divisions work at cross pur poses, and in no case can they achieve protection to the fisheries, on’ the one hand, and Justice to the localities and in: dividuals on the other. Country's Foreign Policy. ‘This nation’s foreign poliey is based on the theory that right must be done between nations precisely as between individuals, and in our aetions for tho last ten years we have In this matter proven our faith by our deeds. We have behaved, and are behaving, to- wards other nations, as in private lite an honorable man would behave to- wards his fellows, 1 take this opportunity publicly to state my appreciation of the way in which In Japan, in Australia, In New Zealand, and in all the states of South America, the battle fleet has been re- ceived on Its practice voyage around the world. ‘The American government can not too strongly express Its appre- ciation of the abounding and generous hospitality shown our ships in every port they visited Our Southern Neighbors, ‘The commercial and material prog- ress of the 20 Latin-American republics is worthy of the careful attention of the congress. ‘The International Bureau of the American Republics is doing. a useful work in making these nations and thelr resources. better. known to us, and in -acquainting them not only with us as a people and with our pur- poses towards them, but with what we have to exchange for their goods. A Panama Canal Being Rushed, Fjaitle work on the Panama canal Is bes ing done with a speed, efficiency and J entire devotion to duty, which make tt & model for all work of the kind. ‘The men on the Isthmus, from Col. Goethals And ‘his fellow commissioners through the entire list of employes who are faithfully doing their duty, have won their right to the ungrudging’ respect and gratitude of the American peuple. For Ocean Mail Lines. T again recommend the extension of the ocean mail act of 1891 so that satise factory American ocean mail lines to South America, Asia, the Philippines, and Australasia may be established: Should Develop Hawaii. T call particular attention to the Ters ritory of Hawaii, ‘The importance of those islands is apparent, and the need of improving their condition and de= Veloping their resources is urgent Progress in the Philippines. Real progress toward. self-government fs being made In the Philippine islands, 1 trust that within a. generation the time will arrive when the.
