United State Commission to Liberia. of South Carolina enter WASHINGTON LETTER Presidents Taft's Administration Moving along Serenely and Satisfactory. United States Government to send Commission to Liberia. Jenkins Orphanage Band of South Carolina entertained by Mrs. Vernon. BY JAMES CUBERT CAMPBELL The "Old Ship of State" with President Taft's new administration pennant fluttering boldly from the mainmast, is now well under way. The "New Chief Commander" has taken a firm grip upon the affairs of the Republic and struck out courageously upon his course. With calm seas and the unreserved support of a loyal people, the beginning of President Taft's administration is moving along serenely and satisfactorily towards an ideal termination. Washington has sifted out the great throng which came to witness the inauguration, leaving with us only the politicians and office seekers who refuse to be sifted. The faithful, the unfaithful and all who have any ideas that they should have public office are here, or have representatives here, and the daily charge upon the White House is not altogether unlike a well matured and healthy college rush,—but just now the jobs and doors of the Executive Mansion are not in complete harmony with that famous Biblical injunction, which says: "Knock and the door shall be opened unto you, seek and ye shall find." Mr. Diekinson, the last member of the Taft Cabinet to arrive in Washington, has entered upon his duties, completing the Administration's official family. The first bomb creating consternation and pandemonium in the camp of that imaginary "Black Cabinet"—a designation very inappropriate and offensive—was exploded last Friday, when Senator Cullom asked President Taft to make John R. Marshall of Chicago, Recorder of Deeds, displacing John C. Dancy of North Carolina, the present incumbent. Mr. Dancy has occupied this position during the past seven or eight years, and it has generally been conceded that the first attack upon the line-up of the colored office holders will be made upon him. Col. Marshall is putting up a strong and a determined fight for the berth of Mr. Dancy, and is claimed to have the backing of practically the entire Illinois delegation in Congress, besides the most potent influence of his state. He has for years been Colonel of the Eighth Infantry, Illinois National Guard, ```markdown ``` VOL. XV, and prominent among the politicans of his state. It was reported that Mr. Dancy gave it out to many of his friends who were here during inauguration that his continued service under President Taft's administration was practically assured. It is claimed that the Recorder was emphatic in his statements that he was not worried over the rumors concerning his retirement from office. Col. Marshall is the first candidate for Mr. Dancy's place, whose cause has been introduced at the White House, and after the discussion which associated his name with the Recordership was given out, an effort was made to locate Mr. Dancy. He was called over the 'phone, the response coming back that he was out of town. It is stated that the conversation the President had with Senator Cullom upon this occasion concerning the candidacy of Col. Marshall put at rest all doubt as to what his policy was to be regarding appointments of colored men to Federal offices in the South. It is stated that Mr. Taft let it be known that the professional Southern colored politician, office holder and office seeker who has held and wishes to hold office by right of color would be handed no "pie" during his reign. The big offices in this section are to go to white Republicans and the "plums" from the administration's patronage tree which colored men are to share will be given to colored men from northern states. The fact that the United States Government is to send a special commission to Liberia to investigate and report upon conditions there is a source of great satisfaction to Great Britain. Instructions, it is said, have been sent out to British officials in West Africa and also those in Liberia to give every possible aid to this commission, and British subjects in the same territory have also been requested to give support to the commission. The action of the United States in this matter is regarded as opportune, as affairs in Liberia have been going from bad to worse and this in spite of the steps taken by Great Britain during the last year to straighten out the finances DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MARCH 20, 1909. and assist in the protection of the frontier. The British officials sent out to organize the finance of the country informed the government that their positions became untenable; their recommendations were ignored, and at times their lives were in danger. The British Government hopes that this commission will start without loss of time and that they will succeed in doing a great work there. The Jenkins Orphanage Band of South Carolina gave a concert at Dr. George W. Lee's Church last Wednesday evening. On Monday Mrs. Vernon, the wife of the Register of the Treasury, entertained these little orphans, who came to serenade their home. Mrs. Vernon was assisted by Mrs. Decatur, wife of Prof. Decatur, and Mrs. Wright, the wife of Prof Wright. Perhaps it would not be out place here to add a word with reference to the amiable and lovable character of that good woman, Mrs. Vernon. The wives of our distinguished Colored men, about whose life beats the almost constant light of publicity, are content often with only the reflected glory. Standing just beyond in the shadow of the glow revealing the laudible achievements of the illustrious husband, they are seldom included within it. Yet, many of them, like the accomplished wife of Register Vernon are often the noblest work of nature and the helping hand which lends support to the figure radiating so much brilliancy. She presides over the home of the Register with grace and charm. Possessing the most remarkable common sense and the attributes which go to make up those lovable characteristics we so much admire in her sex, she is one of the most popular and well thought of women in Washington, thoroughly democratic, she has a kind word and helping hand for all—the high and the low are all treated kindly. Her exalted station as the wife of the Register of the Treasury has not made her a victim of the "exaggerated ego" the "swell-headitis" and the much "I am" so prevalent among a certain class of women in Washington. The daughter of Bishop Emery, she did not have to come to Washington as the wife of the Treasury Register to be "somebody." Mrs. Vernon is typical of a large majority of our colored women of whom the colored men are and should be proud. In a beautiful suburb of Washington, proudly and appropriately called Lincoln, D. C., the Baptist convention and women's auxiliary has bought six acres of land upon which it will erect a training school for colored women. The school will be opened to colored women of all religious sects and will teach all the industries and professions in which women are engaged. The property is said to be more than half paid for and every effort is being put forward to raise $15,000 for the purpose of beginning the work. Every state in the Union is asked to contribute a certain amount. Too much credit cannot be given Miss Nannie H. Burroughs who is the leading spirit in carrying forth this laudible and noble enterprise. RACE NEWS Topeka, Kansas, March 9.—The legislature of Kansas appropriated this week $66,400 for Western University at Quindaro. Jefferson City, Mo, March 17.—The senate passed a bill today to provide an educational qualification for voters. Most of the Republicans voted no. The theory of he Democrats was that the bill would disfranchise more Negroes than it would ignorant white foreigners. One of the successful composers of popular songs in England is Miss Ira Aldridge, daughter of the late Ira Aldridge, the distinguished colored actor, who made London his home for many years prior to his death. Miss Aldridge besides being a gifted composer, is also one of England's finest contralto, having studied for some time with Jenny Lind, the great "Swedish Nightingale." Washington, D. C., March 6. William Dulaney, colored, who shaved Mr. Roosevelt, has been cared for with a place in the office of the auditor of the navy. Monico Lopez Lara, the young Filipino, who Mr. Taft brought from the Islands, has been installed at the White House in place of Dulaney. Monico will not be put on the Government pay-roll. Mr. Taft will continue to pay his wages from his own pocket. A coal and iron company by colored men is forming in Kentucky. A number of men of means of that State and elsewhere have secured 3,000 acres of land in Morgan County, which is said to be rich in mineral deposits, principally coal and iron. According to indications, mines will soon be in operation, when it is expected something big in a business way will result. The movement sounds good, and most assuredly is in the right direction. Macon, Ga., March 6.—Developments in the Federal postal and revenue service in the central portion of the state seem to reveal a changed policy in Georgia among Republicans with regard to the continued employment of Negroes in Government offices. A number of Negro mail carriers have been dropped in Macon and many other changes fully bear out such a view. It is believed in Macon that the Taft administration will swap all Negro Republican interests wherever it can. Montgomery, Ala., March 7.— Former United States Senator J. B. Foraker, will be presented with a handsome testimonial by the Negroes of Montgomery because of his championship of the Negro troops involved in the Brownsville affair Collections were taken up all of the Negro churches today and among the membership of the Negro fraternities with which to purchsse this testimonial. The set of resolutions which were read in the different churches today will accompany the testimonial to Mr. Foraker. One of the most noted turfmen on two continents in the person of Jno. E. Madden has made a proposition to the Fayette County High School Board of Kentucky to contribute a sum of money for the erection of a colored high school in the county on the grounds that the board will raise an equal amount. The estimated cost of the proposed school, including everything, will be several thousand dollars, and the board has gone to work with a will and the prospects are that they will raise the amount necessary. Savannah, Ga., March 9.—Acting under orders from Sugeon General Wyman, Surgeon C. P. Wertenbaker will to-morrow start a campaign for county leagues of Negroes through Georgia in a fight against tuberculosis. He will address a gathering of Negroes from all over the State at the Georgia Industrial College tomorrow. His headquarters during the campaign will be in Savannah. Dr. Wertenbaker declared the death rate among Negroes from tuberculosis in twice that among white persons from the same cause. Before the campaign ends, he intends that every county in Georgia shall have a compact league headquarters equipped in the best possible way to fight tuberculosis in that county. NEGROES FRIGHTENED Dequeen, Ark., March 8.—As the result of the dynamiting of the two Negro homes and the slight injury of a Negro girl in the southern part of Duqueen on Saturday night, many Negroes of this place are preparing to leave, filled with alarm at the outcome of the warnings recently distributed among them and alleged to have been circulated by white men, who are said to have warned them to quit work in the hard-wood lumber plant operated here by the Dierks Lumber Company and to leave the country. A meeting of business men together with the Sheriff, was held and the Negro residents were assured they would be protected. No arrests have been made as yet in connection with the dynamiting. NO.26 RELIGIOUS ORDER FORMED IN ARMY RELIGIOUS ORDER FORMED IN ARMY Soldiers of 24th Infantry Organize to Promote Christian Life. Madison Barracks, N. Y., March 10.—Within the past two or three weeks the members of the 24th U.S. Infantry, stationed here, have shown a religious interest that has occasioned no little comment among the officers of the infantry, as well as the many visitors who have observed the services being held by the colored soldiers. There has been reoently organized among the soldiers a Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor, which has over two hundred members. The society meets each Sunday at 6:30 p.m., and uses one hour for service, the regular preaching service following. Regimental Sergeant Maj. Walter B. Williams is president and a large part of the organization's success is due to his untiring efforts. The object of the society is "to promote an earnest Christian life among members; to increase their mutual acquaintance, and to make them more useful in the service of God; to help the young soldiers in the army who desire to take an active part in Bible studies and characters; to foster among them a spirit of self-help that will enable them not to lose sight of the many valuable lessons taught them at home by their parents and in the Sunday shools of boyhood days; to stimulate a feeling of manly pride and bearing that will rebound to their personal credit and also assist the race in this wonderful era of civilization and progress." The society is the first of its kind organized among the soldiers of the regular army to become affiliated with the United Society of Christian Eneavor, and is destined to do much good. The Sunday school is also doing good work. It meets each Sunday morning and has an average attendance of fifty. There is a regular preaching service held each Sunday evening, at which Chaplain W. W. E. Gladden, 24th Infantry, preaches to large and increasing numbers, the attendance reaching the climax last Sunday when five hundred and seventy-five Continued on Eighth Page.

The joint finance committees have agreed on the appropriations for the various state institutions for the next two years and within a few days the appropriation bill will be presented in the House. $1,604,531.03 is the total distributed among the institutions as compared with $1,420,671.96 two years ago. The distribution as compared with two years ago is as follows: 1907. 1909. Insane Asylum ... $ 103,000 $ 294,000 Solds, & Salls, Home 80,000 67,900 Ind. School for Girls 39,11 49,000 Ind.

B. 38, Drake and Jones, creating drainage districts in the same manner as irrigating districts are now created. H. B. 309, Lubers, for a constitutional amendment to reorganize the state land board and elect an independent board of three to do nothing else, instead of state executive officers form a board, as now. Passed second reading in committee of the whole: H. B. 461, Garman, amending the law concerning inheritance tax. Drawn by the attorney general of the state. H. B. 539, Hicks, authorizing the attorney general to investigate the acts of the federal government in relation to public lands and waters, the "anti-Pinchot bill." H.

Bills to Be Reported The Senate judiciary committee on the 13th inst. decided to report out the Senate bill regulating employment agencies and one of the humane society bills providing for the support of children by their parents. It makes the present law more strict. But another humane society bill, providing for the criminal prosecution of parents who allowed their children to become delinquent, was held in committee and will not be reported out. Benzoate of Soda All Right Wilbur F. Cannon, state pure food commissioner, has received from the National Department of Agriculture the report of the referee board of consulting scientific experts upon the use of benzoate of soda in foods. The material part of the report follows: "The board reports, as a result of three extensive and exhaustive investigations, that benzoate of soda mixed with food is not deleterious or poisonous and is not injurious to health. Senate Favors Warrant Bill. Senator Gove's bond bill to fund outstanding warrants with interest got through the House on second reading at Saturday's morning session, after a prolonged discussion, taking so much time that no other business was transacted. Mr. Helbig proposed amendments regarding the taking up of these warrants. He said that many of them had been bought at heavy discounts, some of the buyers paying only 50 percent of the face value. Hence the people who had first helped them had lost a great part of the money. He was willing that the state should pay to the buyers of the warrants just what they had expended, and if there was some way to make up to the original holders what they had lost in the forced sale, he would be willing they should be reimbursed up to the full amount of their claim. His amendments were rejected. House Proceedings March 12th. H. B. 324, Lafferty—Eight-hour law for women. H. B. 207, Senator Burris—Establishing a public examiner and uniform public accounting. H.

Durfee—Providing for the consolidat ion of school districts. Land and Water Investigation. The bill by Representative Hicks authorizing the attorney general to investigate the acts of the government regarding the public land and waters of Colorado passed second reading in the House. The main point is to see to it that the state is getting its rights from the government. The attorney general is authorized to secure special counsel and $20,000 is appropriated for expenses. Judge Hicks explained that the federal government was exercising undue dominion over public lands and water, and it was to protect the interests of the people that the bill was introduced. Civil Service Commission. The new State Civil Service Commission appointed by Governor Shafroth held its first meeting on the 15th inst. There were present Henry Van Kleeck, Charles R. Brock and Mrs. Sarah Platt-Decker. They were appointed by the governor on February 9th, confirmed by the Senate on February 20th and qualified on March 15th by filing their official oaths with the secretary of state. The commission organized itself by re-electing Henry Van Kleeck as president and Herbert W. Cornell as secretary and chief examiner. Land Board Appointments. At the meeting of the State Land Board Tuesday five appraisers were appointed as follows: Cole Briscoe, Douglas county; Sam Cary, Denver, a nephew of Senator Cary; A. Marshall, Otero county; D. R. Donovan, Denver, a brother-in-law of Mrs. Cook, and Mr. Harris of Mesa county. Mr. Fincher of Summit county was appointed time warden and Mrs. Catharine Bell, editor of the Canon Cty Cannon was made chief clerk. Miss Cessna, already connected with the land office, was appointed stenographer. Pensions For Teachers. School teachers in first-class districts will be interested in knowing that the bill providing for a pension retiring fund passed second reading in the House. There was a lively fight on the proposition because many of the members were opposed to creating such a fund. State Highway Commission. One result of the appeal made to the committee on appropriations of the House by the commercial bodies of the state was seen when that committee reported, with a favorable recommendation, the bill for the establishment of a state highway commission. Agitation to this end has been prosecuted with vigor for several years. Railway Bill Weakened. On second reading in the House the railway commission bill was amended in the section relating to unjust charges. The section gives the commission the right to investigate and empowers it to hear complaints and to determine what would be just rates and charges, but that is all. The part stricken out was "what would be just and reasonable rate or rates, charge or charges to be thereafter observed in such case as the maximum charge." PHONE MAIN 3725 Q. J. GILMORE, F. D.

It is thoroughly established that consumption arises from contact in some way with a consumptive, or by the taking into one's system a consumptive germ that has been thoughtlessly deposited by a consumptive where it has been taken up by the person in whom the disease develops. To destroy the germ in the sputum of the consumptive is the chief aim and advice of physicians, and some of the rules for the patient to follow for his own good and the good of others are thus given: "Cary paper napkins to spit in, and a paper bag to keep them in, and burn them. Do not let any spit get on your clothing, or your lips and hands or your bed clothes or carpets or furniture, or on anything about you, wherever you may be. . . . Always wash your lips and hands before eating or drinking, and rinse out your mouth. . . . Avoid hand-shaking and kissing. These customs are dangerous to you as well as to others. They may give others consumption; they may bring you colds and influenzas which will greatly aggravate your disease and may prevent your recovery. Do not cough if you can help it. When you cough severely, hold a paper napkin to your mouth so as not to throw out spit, and burn the napkin. Sit out of doors all you can. Don't take any exercise except upon the advice of your doctor. Always sleep with your windows open, no difference what the weather may be. Avoid fatigue. Don't take any medicine unless it has been prescribed by your physician. Don't use alcoholic stimulants of any kind. Don't eat pastry or dainties. They do not nourish you, and they may upset your stomach. Take your milk and raw eggs whether you feel like it or not. Keep up your courage. Make a brave fight for your life. Always keep in mind that consumption can be cured in many cases and that it can be prevented in all cases. If your own disease is too far advanced for you to recover, console yourself with the idea that you can keep those who are near and dear to you from getting it. . . . These are rules worth knowing and remembering. Perhaps every reader of The Colorado Statesman has a friend who is a consumptive. Let him see to it that these matters are brought to that friend's attention. THE KING IS DEAD! President Roosevelt. No your administration that was just closed has been. He takes an interest in publication of incident transp which he believes had some. The Colorado Statesm President Roosevelt upon e, and yet we always wa IT is no longer President Roosevelt. No young man has any knowledge of another national administration that was as strenuous and exciting as the one which just closed has been. Perhaps every citizen of every nationality, who takes an interest in public affairs, has some strong and lasting recollection of incident transpiring during the Roosevelt administration, which he believes had some direct bearing on his own welfare as a citizen. The Colorado Statesman frequently criticised the acts and words of President Roosevelt upon grounds which we still believe to be justifiable, and yet we always was, and are now, of the opinion that he always intended to be a sincere friend to the Negro. We do not believe that he was always consistent. His radical temperament, leading him to extremes in all matters important enough to keep his energetic thought aroused, was not calculated to enable him to deal equitably at all times upon matters of such deep import and such delicate bearings as the race question. His demands upon a people not yet thoroughly schooled in the art of parrying the insidious rebuffs of longer tried elements, were too strenuous and exacting. There was no sentiment, no pity in them, and only a spark of mercy. We do not mean to insinuate that the Negro needs yet to be pampered, humored and assured unlimited protection, but he does need and deserve that kind of a square deal which includes a liberal consideration and allowance for his disadvantages. He does not want to escape the responsibility of fighting for himself, but he does want to be backed by a sentiment which will rule out of his fight all cunning and uneven tactics. When President Roosevelt declared that "the door of hope should not be closed to the Colored man," he spoke like a strong and righteous champion, but the untiring assaults of the Negro's enemies wore upon him, and his attitude changed to that of an impatient adviser. The Colored people will remember him longest for his unrelenting discipline of Negro troops upon an assumption of their guilt of a dastardly crime. His course in that ease dissipated their confidence in the unsusceptible character of his judgment. They feel that he was swayed by false ideas and influences. Yet they are willing to believe that he erred without being intentionally unjust. Altogether his administration was one of great achievements built upon the integrity of a sound character, and his honors will and ought to endure. Upon his successor falls no small task to maintain the standard he set, but in him the Negro reposes new hopes, which, before his accession, had grown dormant. ADDRESS DELIVERED BEFORE AFRICAN COLONIZATION SOCIETY ADDRESS DELIVERED BEFORE AFRICAN COLONIZATION SOCIETY SOME POSSIBILITIES OF AFRICAN EMIGRATION. Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen: Whenever the subject of African emigration is mentioned, the average Negro mind at once closes its eyes to reason and refuses to see anything in connection with the subject except through its prejudice. But in this audience tonight, I am sure we have those who are above the average. You are willing to lay aside preconceived notions and take a common-sense view of this important subject. You, as myself, may not be an ardent emigrationist but will be willing with me to consider this subject in a dispassionate and sane manner. With this brief preparation, let us note some of the possibilities of African emigration. In the first place let me say that for the Negro to have his own country is the logical sequence of the Negro having his own home, his own church and preachers, his own doctors, his own lawyers, and his own teachers and business men. At first glance this may not seem true. But when we examine the conditions that have made it necessary for us to have the one we will see the truth of this assertion, the need of the other. It is evident to every observant mind that we are a distinct race, peculiar people. The badge of our distinction is emphasised and plain in our countenance so that no one need err (and who of us can say that this is not a part of God's unfathomed plan to protect and preserve us for a distinct and special work in his creation). And so I say the line of demarkation between the Negro and other races of earth being so plain, it is a serious question whether two races so dissimilar can coexist on the same territory on a basis of equality. History so far as I now recall, does not furnish us with a precedent. And if it comes to a disruption, who in all probability will have to go, the weaker or stronger faction? And what side do we represent in this country? These simple but blunt questions should cause us to think, and forestall the outcome if possible. Since I have given the subject of African emigration any thought whatever, I have never denied it as a possible solution to America's vexed question. But my personal conclusion is, that any premature movement of this kind before our training and schooling in advanced civilization is completed, would work havoc to the plan and to those who attempted to carry out its operation. I am one who believes in a central moving spirit in the affairs of earth, an over-ruling providence. And if African emigration is a part of God's great scheme conditions will lead up to it, and some day, just as slavery was overthrown it will come. A resistance on the part of a few men will simply bring about a more complete fulfillment of the plan. Viewed from a practical point, the establishment of a national center by the Negro for himself would secure for him world recognition. What is it that gives the Japanese prestage and respects, and makes even the so-called "dago" and the hated Chinaman free from the indignities that the Negro is subjected to? One potent reason is that they have a government that can be appealed to, and in proportion to their governmental strength their grievances are considered and amended. A few days since I saw a sign on one of Denver's capitol hill homes, a closer inspection showed it to indicate the abode of the Italian consul. That means that Italy has a representative in this city that will see that every Italian gets fair play and justice in accordance with international law and usage. This fact engenders more self confidence and inspires more respect than a hundred mass meetings following outrages and mob violence. Instances of both the mass meeting type of redness and the governmental type are perhaps fresh in the minds of each of you, and the results in each case. And so I submit without further argument, the contention that a government of the Negro and by the Negro would obtain for him world recognition. And we now consider Africa as a possible field of individual and race development. Taking up the question of individual development, we claim that under favorable conditions, individual attainment in a colony would only be limited by ability and not by arbitrary and unfair customs. In removing the Negro from this country, I recognize the absence of forceful example and the driving effects of prejudice; and it is the recognition of this fact that makes me personally doubt the wisdom at present of a wholesale emigration. But giving all due credit to example and force let us not on the other hand forget the power of awakened manhood, nor the possibilities of an aroused ambition. Again let us not forget, that a colony well established, may in the future offer a place of refuge to a larger number of American Negroes. The tendency of our times is towards race agitation. The growing education and ambition of the Afro-American and his desire to enlarge his borders, but poorly harmonises with the habitual all-ruling power of the American white man. The fact that every year brings a sharper competition between these two factions is not to be overlooked. What the outcome will be no one knows and few even dare to prophysis. We recognize that we are in no way prepared for a contest of skill or resources, and in case of a general feeling of intolerance of our presence, what refuge have we? Some may say that this is a pessimistic picture, but for a verification on a small scale look at the Atlanta riots, the New York outbreak, the Springfield outburst. We hope and pray that these conditions may not arise again but what assurance have we that they will not occur here in our own city? What preventative have we, what refuge? And who can say but that these outrages may not at sometime involve states instead of cities and become general instead of local? True in fore-casting such a condition we fall back on the love of common justice in the American people (and it is in many cases admirable), but to presume too far upon this is to neglect our own self protection. Suffice it then to say let us not forget that a colonial refuge would not be amiss in time of oppression and general distress. The last thought that I wish to call your attention to is the possibility of being of help to our brothers in the land of our forefathers. It may be a part of the great plan of providence that we should be trained and schooled by American slavery and hardships while we are receiving the light that we may take that light back to the land of our origin. A few short years or even a few hundred years to the eternal is but a moment, and though the hours of our affliction may seem an eternity to us they are but a moment in God's great plan. And so our sojourn in America may be but a link in the chain of civilizing Africa. At present there seems to be but a fringe around the coast of Africa that is civilized while a great part of the interior is roamed by hordes who never heard of our western civilization. What do we owe them, we who have seen the light? We are the best fitted by nature to carry the light to our own brothers. We can more easily understand them because of kindred feeling and blood, we can appreciate their secret longings and suppressed ambitions. In us they can, or should, recognize true friendship and mutual understanding. What will we do with this God-given privilege and possibility? Shall we attempt to evade the duty or shall we face the situation manfully? In closing this paper I wish to say that there are two important reasons why we are not making more of our possibilities both in this country and in Africa. One is the lack of down right honesty with our ourselves and frankness with our fellowmen, and the other is petty jealousy and bickering among ourselves. Larger experiences and broader education will eliminate much of this. But if we are to make the most of life and its opportunities let us hasten to lay aside narrowness and prejudice and to see this and all subjects in their true light and strive to be men in the truest sense.

RESOLUTION Denver, Colo, March 13, 1909. Dear Sister Johnson: We feel that a child's sorrow for the loss of a mother cannot be assuaged by the commonplaces of condolences, yet we must write a few lines to assure you of our heartfelt sympathy in your grief. There is one thing, however, that should soften the sharpness of a child's agony under such a bereavement, and that is the reflection that your mother was pure and guileless, and that "of such is the kingdom of Heaven." It is well with your mother. Much sin and woe has she escaped. It is a treasure laid up in the upper world, and the gates through which she has passed to peace and joy unspeakable are left open so that you, in due time, may follow. Let this be your consolation. One by one our love's ties are broken, as we see our love decay. we see our love decay. And the hopes so fondly cherished brighten but to pass away. One by one our hopes grow stronger, as we nea rthe shining shore. For we know across the river wait the loved ones gone before. Resolved, That the members of the Free Will Club tender their heartfelt sympathy. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to Sister Johnson, and entered in our local papers, and also spread upon the minutes of our club. Your sisters in grief. MISS BIRDIE REASE, MRS.

M. E. church, Thursday evening, March 11th, to a large and appreciative audience. The object of the meeting was stated by the president, J. N. Walker, who introduced Rev. A. M. Ward who presided over the meeting. The following program was well rendered: Invocation, Rev. W. C. Williams; Review of the Company's Work, Secy. C. S. Muse; Address, Some Possibilities of African Emigration, W. A. Jones, M. D.; Song, "From Greenland's Icy Mountain," Mrs. C. E. Lawrence; Address, Man for the Occasion, Rev. A. C. Murphy; Vocal Solo, Mrs. Lillian Jones; Closing Remarks, President J. N. Walker. PRESIDENT J. N. WALKER'S ADDRESS. Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen: We have met here this evening for the purpose of celebrating the twenty-fourth year of our existence as an African emigration society. First, allow me to thank you for your presence here this evening. Secondly, I want to ask you to join us in our celebration, for I consider this to be a work worthy of our highest consideration. As the hour is late I shall not worry you by attempting to make a long speech. I shall only aim to occupy about ten minutes, though I wish that you had that deep, heartfelt interest and patience, and I had the time to pour out my very soul to you this evening. in my rough and crude way. Twenty-four years ago, the fifth day of this month, I commenced to plead with you, and beg you to turn your eyes towards the little Black Republic on the west coast of Africa, known as Liberia. I started then, not to stop until my voice shall be hushed in death, and I thank God tonight that I see the evidence here that my labors have not been in vain. Then Liberia had a population of about 21,000 civilized people. Now she is quoted as having between 43,000 and 50,000 civilized population. Some of THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN J. NASH WALKER you say that Liberia is too small. Permit me to say that Liberia has 500 miles of coast line, extending from 250 to 300 miles inland. Others say they have lost nothing there. That is so; but you've lost a great deal here, and you might find something there. All the white nations of earth, with their great possessions, have their eyes turned toward Africa; and we have nothing, no possessions anywhere, and fight against having any. We should not allow ourselves to be satisfied with any less than it takes to satisfy others. The Caucasian, or any other progressive people, would not allow themselves to be satisfied for a minute if they were in our condition. Nothing short of a nation would satisfy them. Let those who affect to think that African physiognomy shuts out the light of intellect, we will now turn the dial back to 1830. Now, go with me to the capital of the British empire—there we'll contemplate the colored head of Memnon, and see where the ancient Africans impressed their own forms in their own immortal genius, and the moulds that once held them, the most stupendous skill, grandeur and taste. The celebrated Blumenbach, the father of German naturalists, had a large library filled with the works of ancient Africans, to which he would point with exalted pride, and declare that there was no branch of art, science or literature in which they had not excelled and distinguished themselves. Gregory, archbishop of Blios, France, had a large glass case filled with the works of ancient Africans, to which he would point as a refutation of all that could be said against the mental claims of Africa. Read her history, and you will find it a thinking story. You will meet with the studious and the brave; the heroes of many a tale of danger and of glory. Africa could boast of her language, poets, mathematicians and philosophers with any kingdom on the vast map of nations. She had her merchants, mathematicians, and jurists, all eminent in their attainments; honorable in character energy and enterprise. She lifted alone for ten successive centuries the touch of science and civilization to a darkened globe and awe-struck pilgrims, to learn the wisdom of her obelisks and temples. She has given bishops to the church; ecclesiastical history enumerates 700 of them that met in Africa to deliberate upon the fortunes of the church of The Kansas City Club of Damon Lodge No. 5, K. of P., will give a GRAND ENTERTAINMENT Thursday, March 25, 1909 at East Turner Hall Go With Us to Kansas City in September to the Supreme Lodge of the K. of P.'s.

Two of the Popes at Rome in regular Episcopal succession were Africans. Now, if she did that then, she can do it again. Come forward, then, each and every one of you and resolve within your hearts that you are going to do your duty and pour your patriotic and plious offerings into heaven's exchequer. Having done so, draw your bills on futurity and I'll pledge you the veracity of all heaven, instead of disappointment, your drafts will be honored. Having done your whole duty to God in this respect, history will take care of your names, and God your souls. Almost any man will work if you pay him for it, but I have worked twenty-four years without pay from any source, but on the other hand I have had to pay to do this work. I have asked no one for any money, and no one has given me any, so to speak. I can count on one hand all of the money given me in almost a quarter of a century. An old lady of my own race, Mrs. Cook, in 1902, at one of my meetings, came forward and handed me $1.00. Mr. John Nesbet, president of the Colorado Iron Works, gave me $1.00 in 1903. October the 2nd, 1907 when I spoke at Central Presbyterian church, a gentleman from Vermont came up and shook hands with me and put a twenty-dollar bill in my hands. In October, 1908, Mr. John Brisben Walker sent me a check for $5.00. Mr. Robert Gause of The Denver Republican has given me $51.00. This is the amount of money I have received during all these years. It has cost me more than $5,000. Madame Guthrie Millinery Parlors Hats Remodeled in Latest Styles 1929 Curtis Denver, Colo.

Queen Elizabeth, the old lioness at "Bathouse" John Coughlin's zoo in Colorado Springs, has equaled the world's record, so far as known, by giving birth to five babies, all of which are girls. Even more indicative of the inner spirit of a school, however, are the little indications given by the talk of boys at home on their vacations, says Appleton's Magazine. Don't make the mistake of believing what they tell you about the lessons, or the food, or even the prowess of the football team. A boy is an inveterate generalizer and, moreover, you are quite likely to misunderstand his terminology. He will tell you that the food is "rotten." that the milk is always sour, that Mr. So-and-so is a "fearful soak," and gives out a hundred lines of Virgil to a lesson right straight along, and that the football team has never been beaten; all of which will only mean that sometimes it has happened that—the food was not above criticism, the milk was sour, Mr. So-and-so gave out a long lesson, and the football team has won. No, don't try to pump him about the school, but just notice how he talks of it, and of the masters. If he fires up when you suggest that there is anything to criticise in it, if he speaks of this or that master with a gentle suggestion of affection in his voice, and more especially if he does not try to entertain you with stories of how this or that boy "beat out" this or that master, then the chances are that he goes to a good school. Excepting Africa, the greater part of which is unfavorable to white life, most of the growing room for the race is in Canada, Alaska, the United States west of the Mississippi, South America, New Zealand, Australia and Siberia. The present population of these regions is only one-fifth that of Europe, and yet Europe could be carved out of their combined area six times, declares Josiah Strong, D. D., in the Homiletic Review. It is large enough to make all Asia, with nearly enough left over to make two Europes, and yet contains only one-sixteenth as large a population as Europe and Asia. Souvenir of Two Battlefields. A cane has been presented to the governor of Virginia that is a souvenir of two battlefields. The cane is of hickory and was cut from the famous field of Chancellorsville, and the handle is a deer foot, the animal being killed in the Wilderness. Distance of Earth from Sun.

"Eczema first appeared on my body when I was a child 8 years of age. For over thirty years I scratched and scratched and doctored. It simply drove me wild.

MESSAGE OF PRESIDENT TAFT USES BUT FEW WORDS, AND THOSE ARE DIRECTLY TO THE POINT. OPENING OF CONGRESS VITAL INTERESTS OF COUNTRY DEMAND THAT SESSION BE DEVOTED TO TARIFF BILL. Washington.—In a brief and plainly-worded message to Congress Tuesday, President Taft told why he had called the extra session, and urged that its object, the revision of the tariff, be accomplished as speedily as possible. He suggested that in view of the uncertainty in business circles over the matter, the Congress devote its attention to the work of revision and do as little as possible in the way of other legislation, "for the good of the country." The reading of the message was the chief business before the Senate. The message received careful attention and the Senate adjourned to Friday. When the message was read in the House the Republicans broke out into loud and prolonged applause. The message was referred to the committee on ways and means. Following Is President Taft's Message. "To the Senate and House of Representatives: I have convened this Congress in this extra session in order to enable it to give immediate consideration of the revision of the Dingley tariff act. Conditions affecting production, manufacture and business generally have so changed in the last twelve years as to require a readjustment of and revision of the import duties imposed by that act. More than this, the present tariff act, with the other sources of government revenue, does not furnish income enough to pay the authorized expenditures. By July 1st next, the excess of expenses over receipts for the current fiscal year will equal $100,000,000. "The successful party in the late election is pledged to a revision of the tariff. The country and the business community especially expect it. The prospect of a change, in the rates of import duties always causes a suspension or halt in business because of the uncertainty as to the conditions to be met and their effect. It is therefore the highest importance that the new bill should be agreed upon and passed with as much speed as possible consistent with its due and thorough consideration. For these reasons, I have deemed the present to be an extraordinary occasion within the meaning of the constitution justifying and requiring the calling of an extra session. "In my inaugural address I stated in a summary way the principles upon which, in my judgment, the revision of the tariff should proceed, and indicated at least one new source of revenue that might be properly resorted to in order to avoid a future deficit. It is not necessary for me to repeat what I then said. "I venture to suggest that the vital business interests of the country require that the attention of the Congress in this session be chiefly devoted to the consideration of the new tariff bill and that the less time given to other subjects of legislation in this session, the better for the country." "WILLIAM H. TAFT." Downward Tariff Revision. Washington.—Downward revision maximum and minimum provisions which impose an average maximum duty of twenty per cent. in excess of the present tariff, and numerous provisions by which it is estimated that the revenue to the government will be increased from $40,000,000 to $50,000,000 are the salient features of the new tariff bill which was introduced in the House Wednesday by Representative Payne, chairman of the ways and means committee. St. Paul Puget Sound Line. Tacoma, Wash.—The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul construction crew have laid the last rail connecting Tacoma with Missoula, Mont. But twenty-five miles of track remain to be laid in Montana and then the line will be complete from Chicago to the coast. There is every reason to believe that the last spike will be driven before April 2nd, the date set for completion. Austria May Occupy Belgrade. Paris.—La Liberte says it hears from a reliable source that the Austrian government has for three days past been making preparations to occupy Belgrade, the capital of Servia, as the only way to bring about a solution of the present unfortunate situation. Cuban Insurrection Havana.—The first real uprising against the new Cuban republic occurred Tuesday night within a little more than six weeks after the inauguration of General Gomez as president. How serious the movement is it is impossible to determine. A sergeant of the rural guard stationed at the town of Vueltas in Santa Clara province, with a party of seven men, some other members of the rural guard, a number of peasants took to the woods and the troops are in active pursuit. WHAT WIFE SAYS "GOES." But It Sometimes Is Bad for the Painting. When a property-owner knows nothing about paint it is bad for the property-owner, and bad for the painter. It would not be so if the property-owner would always hire a skilled painter, and then really leave everything to him. But the house-owner so often fools himself on one or the other of these things. The skilled painter in every community has some of the most incompetent competitors that ever vexed a conscientious workman or contractor, and the incompetents get jobs generally by working cheap. In the next place, when the skilled painter is hired, they do not leave everything to him, as so many property-owners boast they do. They interfere most ignorantly and most fatally. They insist sometimes on using paint materials without investigating whether they are good or not. Or perhaps they insist on the painter's hurrying the work. "I'm not going to have that painter's mess around my house a month," the wife says, and what wife says goes—at the cost of a lot of wasted painting money. If the painter stays away a few days to allow the paint to thoroughly dry the owner says: "That painter's neglecting this work—guess he's side-tracking me for Jones' work. I won't stand it." What chance does a painter have to do good work for a man who is continually nagging at him and otherwise handicapping him (without meaning it, of course)? A poor job is the inevitable result of such interference. Poor painting costs the houseowner money—don't forget that. It might pay you to get the practical paint book, painting specifications and instrument for detecting paint adulterants, which National Lead Co. are offering under the title of House Owner's Painting Outfit No. 49.

FATHER HAD A GRIEVANCE. Some Excuse for His Violent Assault on Managing Editor. Lina Cavalieri, the beautiful Roman prima donna, said recently of her "beauty parlor" in New York: "Beauty is woman's most important attribute. She who increases beauty is woman's greatest benefactor. Husbands, brothers, even fathers—in their inmost hearts beauty is the thing they desire most to see in their feminine relations." She laughed. "Only the other day," she said, "a gray, fat old gentleman entered a newspaper office and said: "Are you the managing editor?" "Yes,' was the reply. "I suppose that on you, then,' said the visitor, 'rests the responsibility for this morning's reference to my daughter Patty as Fatty. Take that!'" The Trouble. A maldservant in the employ of a Brooklyn woman was left the other day in charge of the children while her mistress went for a long drive. "Well, Mary," asked the lady, on her return, "how did the children behave during my absence? Nicely, I hope." "Nicely, ma'am," Mary answered, "but at the end they fought terribly together." "Fight! Mercy me! why did they fight?" "To decide," said Mary, "which was behaving the best."—Harper's Weekly. His Humorous Error. During one of the banquets of the Church Congress in London, a certain bishop had as his left hand companion a clergyman who was completely bald. During dessert the bald-headed vicar dropped his napkin and stooped to pick it up. At this moment the bishop, who was talking to his right-hand neighbor, felt a siight touch on his left arm. He turned, and, holding the vicar's pate on a level with his elbow, said, "No, thank you, no melon. I will take some pineapple!" DIDN'T REALIZE Many persons go on drinking coffee year after year without realizing that it is the cause of many obscure but persistent ailments. The drug—caffeine—in coffee and tea, is very like uric acid and is often the cause of rheumatic attacks which, when coffee is used habitually, become chronic. A Washington lady said, recently: "I am sixty-five and have had a good deal of experience with coffee. I consider it very injurious and the cause of many diseases. I am sure it causes decay of teeth in children. "When I drank coffee I had sick spells and still did not realize that coffee could be so harmful, till about a year ago I had rheumatism in my arms and fingers, got so nervous I could not sleep, and was all run down. "At last, after finding that medicines did me no good, I decided to quit coffee entirely and try Postum. After using it six months I fully recovered my health beyond all expectations, can sleep sound and my rheumatism is all gone." "There's a Reason." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

Easy. Once there was an old woman who lived in a shoe. She had so many children that at first she didn't know what to do. A friend of the family who happened to come along just then, however, made the following suggestions: To put one of them in a factory. To have a couple more operated on and otherwise fussed over by the doctors. To put a couple of them in a coal mine. To send one to a modern public school. To bring up another on a pure food diet. Which no sooner having been carried into effect than the old woman settled down to a life of case and loneness.—New York Herald. FRANK J. CHENY makes oath that he is senior partner of the firm of F.

Smart Women Quick to Take Up Fancy Recently Introduced. After all the preaching about the parted pompadour, it didn't come in until the season was well started. Now the smart women are rapidly taking it up. At the opera, at dinner dances, at the theater, and wherever women gather with bare heads the parted pompadour is the mode of the moment. It is doubtful if the small roll of hair over the temples could be dignified by the name of pompadour. It stands out little from the face. It is slightly waved, more often at home than on the irons of the hairdresser. The parting is on the left side and the hair brushed away from it in man fashion. At the right side of the part the hair sweeps down over the brow and across the temples in a large rippling wave. The left side goes back over the ear and is tucked into the small Psyche knot that stands straight out from the head. Every one thought this parted pompadour would be unbecoming; on the contrary, it is quite attractive and a charming relief from the mass of ruffed and ratted hair that we have been wearing over the brow for years. Whatever rats or crepes are put into the hair to keep it out now are used at the sides. They must not go across the back except under the Psyche knot. The correct coifure adopted by the majority has the hair brushed up smoothly from the nape of the neck to the knot itself. There is no bulging out or sagging down. It is a clean Grecian sweep, usually held in place by a wide barette. EFFECTIVE COIFURE. A charming revival of the "Marie-Antoinette" coiffure of tulle edged with pearls. Ventilate Raincoats. If the raincoat proves too overheating, a circular row of button-holed eyeslets may be worked under the arm and a second row on the under section of the sleeve. If kept far enough under, there will be little danger of their showing, and they will do the ventilating act successfully. The excessive closeness of the raincoat is distressing whether worn with a coat or without one Silk and Cotton Fabrics May Be Used with Excellent Results. The girl who wants a pretty house gown at small cost is buying the silk and cotton fabrics that take the place of organdle and other thin materials. These are often flowered in charming colors and also made up in polka dots and fine self-covered stripes. The girl who makes her clothes at home can handle this material quite easily. She wants a one-piece frock of it slightly curved in at the waist, fastening down back and cut out in a slight square at neck. Below the square she insets a piece of embroidered filet net over white chiffon, or uses a color, as she prefers. Above this she puts a narrow band of lace. The sleeves are half way to elbow, fit the arm, and are finished with a frill of lace and a bow of ribbon. There is quite a new touch in arranging this elbow frill. A narrow edge of lace is used around the inside of the arm, then a double box plait at the back that is five inches deep and has a wide square satin bow at the top. This is much prettier than the old fashioned way of gathering in a lace frill of one width. Physical Culture to Save Figures. New York young women of society have entered with ardor upon a new system of physical culture, with a view to adding harmony to their figures and preserving them from irregularity of line. They have placed themselves under the instruction of an actress who retains her physical symmetry, though she is no longer young. This woman points to herself as proof of the efficacy of her system. It embraces the varied use of elastic devices of various size and weights. These contrivances are used in many ways, the work being graded with a view to individual needs. Medicine balls of graded sizes and weights also are used, and the teacher also puts her pupils through vigorous movements of arms and body, which bring all the muscles into play. To Freshen Black Clothes. A woman who has worn black for years says she keeps her clothes fresh with a mixture made as follows: Buy five cents' worth of borax and ten cents' worth of camphor gum. Put them into a large bowl, breaking the camphor gum into small pieces. Pour over this a quart of boiling water, stirring to dissolve the borax. All the camphor will not dissolve.
