LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY Race Pride How Obtained A Timely Editorial on Race Pride and How Obtained from the Philadelphia Tribune. The Failure to Record Deeds of Valor in History. VOL. XV, Race Pri How C A Timely Editorial on Race Pr the Philadelphia Tribune. Deeds of Va For years orators, writers and scholars of varied type have been apostles of the gospel of race pride. All have argued that this or that ought to be maintained because of race pride, forgetful of the fact little or nothing has been done toward sowing the seed and nourishing the tender plants from which the desired spirit of racial pride might grow. Our enemies have for years had us on the defensive, causing us to use almost every moment of our national life in protecting ourselves from their assaults and in striving to obtain a respectful hearing, consideration and final verdict that would vouch-safe to us and our children civil and political liberty, and to-day we are confronted with the stern truth, although we are impressed with the thought that our people should possess race pride, we realize that very little has been done by our own hands, tongues, pens or money to plant the seeds in the necessary soil. We have simply clamored for what we have not sought to produce; and the very thought of having thus failed to wisely and faithfully sow has served to sever interests which should be united, has served to make many lose faith in our possibilities as a class. In some instances it might seem that the source of race pride among white people springs from the mere fact of their being white. This is far from being true. The mainspring of their pride flows from what they have been taught by historians and what they know from practical experience, and what they see daily of their ability to succeed in every field of human endeavor, whether in time of war or peace. But that historian so fondly hoped for by Wendell Phillips, who was to dip his pen in the azure blue and write of Le Oeverture and other colored men worthy of a place on the pages of history, has not as yet given the populace a chance to read his book. Because of this our children have not been enable to read of the exploits of their ancestors. Failure No.1. Our lecturers have not been wise enough to establish a lecture bureau, either national or otherwise, for the purpose of enlightening the minds of the masses about what has been accomplished by our peo- ple in this country. Until to-day some of our people entertain the belief that their fathers began their career with President Lincoln's proclamation. All such novices would do well to look up their old pamphlets and newspapers. The real fact is that our fathers were thoroughly identified with this Government from its beginning. They were the agricultural laborers and artisians of the South. At the North they took par in all mechanical pursuits, built the houses, worked on the fisrt daily papers, made the first wood-cuts and were the best pressmen. They were on the Heights of Abraham with Wolfe; in the French and Indian War with Braddock; the first martyr of the Revolution, and they are seen in Trumbull's picture retreating with the patriots from Bunker Hill, musket in hand. Washington did not disdain to share a blanket with him on the cold ground at Valley Forge. Do we not know that they fought with Lawrence on the Chesapeak and formed half the crew of the Old Iron-sides? They were with Scott and Taylor in Mexico, as they were with Grant and Sherman and Butler, with Farragut and Foote and Porter, at Port Hudson and Fort Wagner. But all the histories from which our children study in school are silent about such facts. Failure No. 2. Up and down the streets of all large cities, and in public squares and parks, monuments are erected to the memory of white patriots. Only two have been erected in memory of colored men, viz., the Crispus Attucks monument, in Boston, and the Frederick Douglas monument, in Rechester, N.Y. But remember these statutes have a lasting effect. They stimulate race pride, Daniel Webster said the purpose of the monument on Bunker Hill was that this edifice might show our deep sense of the value and importance of the achievements of our ancestors, and, by presenting this work of gratitude to the eye, to keep alive similar sentiments. Human beings are composed not of reason only, but of imagination also, and sentiment; and that is neither wasted nor misapplied which is appropriated to the purpose of giving right direction to sentiments DENVER. COLORADO. SATURDAY. APRIL 3. 1909. State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House onizing The RADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, and opening proper springs of feeling in the heart. And, when honored and decrepit age shall lean against the base of this monument, and troops of ingenuous youth shall be gathered round it, and when the one shall speak to the other of its objects, the purpose of its construction, and the great and glorious events with which it is connected, there shall rise from every youthful breast the ejaculation: "Thank God! I also am an American." Think of such honored men as Prince Hall, Joseph C. Price, Rev. Henry Highland Garnett, George T. Downing, Rev. Alexander Crummell, Bishop Arnett, Prof. Charles L. Reason, Bishop Daniel A. Payne, Martin R. Delaney, William J. Simmons, Octavius V. Catto and hosts of others whose lives so far as they concern the masses of our people, are a closed book, and remember that scarcely a stone marks their grave, nor has a shaft been reared in commeration of their lives and service. Failure No. 3. Pray tell us from what other source should we expect to obtain race pride? CHRISTIAN RECORD- ER FAILS Philadelphia, Pa., March 3.—The Christian Recorder, the oldest Negro paper in the United States, has been declared insolvent. Editor Johnson and Manager Collett are sick. Liabilities are $10,856.31; assets, $10,000. The bench of bishops has appointed a committee to run the paper until general conference. In the failure of the Christian Recorder shows that the so-called Christian Negroes are no better than the rankest sinners when it comes to supporting their own newspapers, even here in this city one of the church organs recently went to sleep for three weeks at a time. It is a lamentable fact that with few honorable exceptions the Negro from the highest to the lowest, considers that he is wasting his money when he pays it out for newspapers and other periodicals published in the interest of his race, but, on the other hand, he takes great pride in spending his money for newspapers which are doing everything in their power, each day, in the way of manufacturing a strong sentiment against him. It will not be in our time, but some day in the remote future the Negro may be able to learn this undisputable fact, namely, that no race of people will ever amount to anything in this world of thought and action until it above all things else learns to cultivate and heartily support its own literature.—The Broad Ax. --- Booker T. Washington is touring South Carolina this week, in a special parlor car. His party is composed of some of the leading Negroes of South Carolina. Atlantic City, N. J., March 21. —Joseph Proffett, colored, was stabbed in the heart today, and before he fell he kicked his assailant, James Murray, also colored, on the leg with such force that he fractured it below the knee. Proffett was operated on tonight in the hospital. His heart was taken out and four stitches put in it, as the long bladed knife used in the fracus had made two incisions in the heart. Murry is also in the hospital with a broken leg. Indianapolis, March 22.—Hon. Thomas Marshall, the Governor of Indiana, last week cheerfully signed the bill passed by its legislature authorizing the organization of four companies of colored soldiers in the Hoosier State. The new Democratic governor of this State knows no color-line in dealing with its citizens. William H. Hunt, the millionaire iron manufacturer of West Brighton, Staten Island, closed his plant out of respect for Henry DeHart, a colored man, seventy-six years old, who had been in his employ for twenty years and who died March 16. He was buried from the Church of the Ascension, and Mr. Hunt, accompanied by two hundred employees, attended the funeral. Princess Anne, Md., March 21. Frank Waters, 25 years old, a colored prisoner in the Somerset county fail here, escaped last night after knocking Jailer A. J. Holland down with his fist. Holland had entered Waters' cell to feed him and while fixing the fire the man hounced upon him and made his escape. Waters was serving a term for an illegal sale of whiskey at Crisfield. Wilmington, Del., Maa. 22. The police last night raided the headquarters of the First Ward Republican Club, at No. 225 Orange street, and arrested Isaac Anderson, colored, a well-known Republican leader among the colored voters, on charges of keeping a house of ill-repute at the above address and with selling intoxicating liquors without a license. The oldest railroad man in Chicago is E Winslow. Mr. Winslow has been running on the road for forty-two years. The oldest color- ed letter carrier in Chicago is D. W. Dempsey of 3716 Dearborn staeet, Chicago. The oldest colored man who is now on the police force as police officer is Martin French. Mr. French has been on the police force for nearly thirty years and is regarded as a very competent and efficient police officer. Fort Deposit, Ala., Mar. 21. A tornado did considerable damage to this vicinity between 6 and 7 o'clock this morning. The loss was small in the vicinity of the town, but the entire Negro quarter on the Norward Johnson place was totally destroyed and a number of occupants of houses injured. On the Buchanan place the cottage of Miles Henderson, colored was blown into splinters, he and his wife suffering painful injuries. Just east of Henderson's house another cottage was blown down and a small colored child blown into the fireplace and burned to death. There is a movement of the National Brotherhood of Trainmen to exclude the colored train porters from the duties of brakemen, unless the individual wears a brakeman's badge. This, it would appear, is opposed to the principles of the Brotherhood, which positively specify that no colored man became a member. Hence it is clear that the ultimate object of the move is to get colored men off the different roads altogether that are now serving in the capacity of train porters, and install white men, against whom their is no objection to doing brakeman's work. Washington.—Patents have been issued to J. H. Smith of Little Rock on a machine for stoning fruit, and to W. J. Snow of Vilonia on a churn. J. H. Smith, to whom the patent for a machine for stoning peaches was issued, is a Negro dentist residing in Little Rock. The article on which he secured a pateni is a machine to extract the stones from clingstone peaches. The contrivance weighs about 10 pounds. Smith says that it will "stone" the peaches as fast as they are placed in it. He expects to perfect the invention in a short time so that it will be automatic. Durham., S. C., March 23.—Dr. James E. Shephard has been successful in securing more than $50,000 for the Negro Religious Training School to be erected here. The Merchants' Association of this city recently took decisive action toward raising means to purchase a suitable plot of ground as a gift to the institution. The whole scheme will necessitate an outlay of more than $150,000, and it already has the endorsement of NO.28 leading clergymen of the white race, some of whom are enthusiastically bending their efforts toward its establishment. For many years Dr. Shephard was engaged in the International Sunday School work, of which he was an honored and respected committeeman. George W. Walker, of the Williams and Walker Co., returneg to New York last Saturday from Lawrece, Kan., where he has been on a three weeks' vacation visiting his mother, Mrs. Alice Meyers. He returned feeling somewhat improved, but will not work during the remainder of the season. It is highly probable that he will leave for Lakewood, N. J., within a few days. On the last evening Mr. Walker was in Lawrence the colored students of the Fine Arts department of Kansas University, nearly thirty in number, surprised him by giving a musicale at the home of his mother under the management of Mr. Theodore Copeland, who is studying at the university, and is organist of the Methodist church. An excellent program was rendered. LIBERTY FOR LIBERIA A friend in the South writes that, if the Chinese could be kept out of the country and the Negroes sent out of it, we should be much better off. But where shall we send the Negro? We tried the experiment of colonization in Liberia, and now are beginning to recognize our responsibility for the protection of a feeble commonwealth established on the western shore of Africa with a Hinterland of barbarism behind it. Eager speculations turn their attention to the wealth concealed in the soil of the country, and, unless we stand firm in defence of this colonizing experiment, there is danger that it may be brought to a forcible conclusion by European powers. We want no colony in Africa; but we ought to demand and secure liberty and independence, with more resources of civilization, for the people of Liberia. To send over more colonist of the kind already exported would only increase the difficulty.—The Christian Register. Two Kinds of Criticisms. "I am going to read you my sonnet o 'Persephone's Left Elbow,'" announced Miss Amma Teuritre to her metrothed. "I want you to give me a perfectly frank criticism, just the simple truth, as though you did not know me at all." When she had finished, her lover spoke solemnly: "I do not dare to speak frankly, but I will say that there is a trace of a hint of a possible future promise." The following week she married a freight handler who had worshiped her for years and who declared that the sonnet was finer'n silk.

NEWS FROM WASHINGTON Rumors regarding the possibility of early appointments to the Supreme Court are declared to be decidedly premature, inasmuch as none of the distinguished justices of the tribunal contemplate retirement. President Taft has stated that he does not consider the appointment of judges to be a part of the patronage of United States senators. The President thinks that judicial appointments should be free from political influence. He considers himself to be competent to pass upon the fitness of them for the bench, and will do so, while at the same time he will receive suggestions. Rear Admiral George A. Converse died at his home in Washington on the 29th ult. of uraemic poisoning.

IS LIKELY TO RECOVER IS LIKELY TO RECOVER FAMILY DISCREDIT POLICE THE ORY THAT HE ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. Denver.—Near death from asphyxiation, John A. Holmberg, aged fifty, former state treasurer and state auditor, was found in the basement of his home at 1928 Washington street, Wednesday afternoon by his wife and daughter. Mr. Holmberg was removed to St. Luke's hospital in the police ambulance and it was reported from the hospital Wednesday night that he will recover. The windows of the wash room where Holmberg was found were closed and the cap from an inch gas pipe which had formerly fed a gas stove, on which Holmberg was lying had been removed. The family deny that Mr. Holmberg attempted suicide. Mrs. Holmberg and her daughter, Esther, returned home in the afternoon about two o'clock, to find the house filled with gas. 'Hurrying to the cellar they found Mr. Holmberg unconscious, lying in the washroom across the stove as though he had fallen. They ran from the house and neighbors were summoned who carried Mr. Holmberg out on the lawn and called the police surgeon. Mrs. Holmberg and many friends of the family refuse absolutely to believe the police theory that Mr. Holmberg attempted suicide but assert that he was overcome while attempting to repair the stove connections. That he left no note or message but had appeared happy and even gay lately would support their statements. It is said Mr. Holmberg lately invested in a mine near Empire, Colorado, and that he lost heavily. This is the only motive cited by th beliefs of the suicide theory. Mr. Holmberg began his career a number of years ago in Denver as a meat inspector. He served as state auditor under the Peabody administration and as state treasurer under Governor Jesse McDonald. Lately he has been employed in the county assessor's office. Holmberg was always known as a staunch Wolcott Republican. He is a well known Colorado politician and weilds a great influence among the Swedish voters of the state. Mr. Holmberg was a candidate for governor in 1906, but opponents in the party proved too strong for him. Sale of Amity Townsite Denver.—A Republican special from Holly says: Mayor J. S. McMurtry and J. G. Christopher, a prominent real estate man, have purchased the townsite of Amity (the site of the Salvation Army colony), including business and dwelling houses and 2,000 acres of land, for $250,000. An alfaffa mill of large capacity is soon to be constructed, and other industries will follow. It is the intention of the promoters to sell the land in forty-acre tracts. Amity is on the main line of the Santa Fe, five miles west of Holly, and was laid out about four years ago. It is in the center of a rich cultivated area irrigated by the Buffalo canal. The purchase was made from New York parties who held the property in trust. Murdered Clerk's Shortage Colorado Springs.—The shortage of Charles P. Essick, the aged Woodmen clerk, murdered December 29 last, will probably aggregate $3,000, instead of $600, as was first thought. The Woodmen auditing committee has discovered the shortage for 1908 alone to be about $900, and further investigation may run the figures up. The camp will try to show that the errors were intentional, and that Essick was to blame for the shortage, so that it may recover from the bonding company which was the aged clerk's security. Meanwhile Paul Essick and Arthur E. Piper, son and son-in-law, respectively, of the dead man, are in jail awaiting trial for his alleged murder. To Train Negro Girls Denver—To train young negro women to be self-supporting, either by domestic service or through other labor, and to move a home for aged negro women is the abject of a home which the Sunshine Haven Association expects to establish in Denver.

After trying his different remedies the disease increased and went up my arms and to my legs and finally on my face. The burning was something terrible. I went to another doctor who had the reputation of being the best in town. He told me it was eczema. His medicine checked the advance of the disease, but no further. I finally concluded to try the Cuticura Remedies and found relief in the first trial. I continued until I was completely cured from the disease, and I have not been troubled since. C.

"I die in all humility," she wrote, "knowing well we are all alike before the throne of God, and request, therefore, that my mortal remains be conveyed to the grave without any pomp or ceremony. They are to be moved to St. George's chapel, Windsor, where I request to have a quiet funeral. "I particularly desire not to be laid out in state, and the funeral to take place by daylight; no procession, the coffin to be carried by sailors to the chapel.

LEAVENWORTH PRISON BURNED MILITARY PRISONERS REMOVED UNDER GUARD OF UNITED STATES TROOPS. SICK FIRST TAKEN OUT SICK FIRST TAKEN OUT SOLDIERS ORDERED TO SHOOT ANY CONVICTS TRYING TO ESCAPE. Leavenworth, Kans.-The military prison at Fort Leavenworth was partially destroyed by fire late Wednesday night. The 800 prisoners were removed from the cell houses under heavy guard of United States troops and confined in stockades. None of the prisoners escaped, so far as known. Owing to the low water pressure the fire department of the fort was almost useless. The fire was fought by the soldiers of the fort, who were all ordered out of their quarters, and those who were on leave in the city were at once called back to the post. Two soldiers were injured while fighting the flames, but none of the prisoners was hurt in any way. Much excitement attended the removal of the prisoners, many of whom are desperate characters. It was feared that they would make an organized break for safety. The fire broke out about 10 o'clock in the carpenter shop and soon it was seen that the main building was doomed. A great outcry at once broke out in the prison, the convicts fearing they would be burned to death. They battered on the doors of their cellhouses as the light of the fire streamed in through the windows. Many screamed in terror as the authorities for the moment refused to remove them. Soon, however, several companies of soldiers, including cavalrymen, were under arms. A strong cordon of troops was thrown about the prison, and every precaution taken to prevent escapes. All the soldiers that could be spared from the ranks of fire fighters were detailed as guards, and then the delivery of the prisoners began. When the bolts of the cellhouse doors were shot back, the flames had reached the main building. Soldiers with leveled weapons greeted the convicts as they were marched out. They had been previously warned that the slightest belligerent move would mean death. "Shoot them down in their tracks," commanded the officers, "if they don't keep in line. The first man that tries to escape dies." The rifle barrels of the soldiers and swords of the officers glinting in the firelight, with the knowledge that it was United States soldiers they were dealing with, effectually awed the prisoners and they meekly followed their heavily armed guards to the stockade. Not only did the strict military rule prevent any escapes, but it effectually stopped the panic that had broken out among the convicts. The Leavenworth fire department was rushed to the fort and combined forces with the fort's fire fighters. The lack of water pressure, however, rendered their efforts almost useless. The blacksmith shop, tailor shop, machine shops and other buildings went first. All this while the whole prison had been surrounded by troops. Then when the main building actually had begun to burn, the stern military rescue was carried out with precision. The sick were removed first, placed in ambulances, and taken to the Fort Leavenworth hospital under guard of cavalry. The records were removed from the administration building. Then the general order was given for taking out all in the building. Favors Tariff Bureau. Washington.—President. Taft Wednesday declared himself in favor of a tariff bureau to be created at this session of Congress. He believed that such a bureau would be of great assistance in the application of the maximum and minimum principle of the Payne bill. The President's announcement was made to the executive committee of the committee of 100, created by the national tariff convention recently held in Indianapolis. The committee recommended a permanent tariff commission. Beasts Ready for Roosevelt.

Seattle, Wash.—Joseph Peter McIntyre, chaplain in the United States navy on the battleship Oregon during her memorable run from the Puget Sound navy yard around Cape Horn to Santiago, died in this city Wednesday from nervous disorders resulting from services during the Spanish-American war and by shock caused by exposure following the San Francisco earthquake and fire. The deceased is a brother of Bishop Robert McIntyre of St. Paul and is well known in Denver, Chicago and San Francisco. NEED A LITTLE SPECIAL CARE. Children's Aprons Must Be Looked' After to Insure Proper Appearance. These should always be slightly starched, if left quite limp they will not keep their appearance any time and will very soon soil. Muslin pinafores should be put through stiff starch and must always be starched wet. Wring well and roll in a towel for some time before ironing. Those made of thicker material may be slightly dried and then rolled up. When ironing aprons always commence with the embroidery, pulling it out well and ironing very carefully. The rest of the apron is, as a rule, very simple to iron. Always keep the top of the apron at your left-hand side and iron the material single when possible. If the pinafore is joined up the back, iron it double, first the front and then the back, or iron it on the skirtboard. If there are tucks along the foot, stretch them out well when ironing to prevent them dragging. Iron as much as possible with the thread of the material. A small iron must be used for getting into all gathers. Always finish off well round the armholes and iron out all strings and iron round hems on the wrong side. If there is a full drawn front, it sometimes looks well crimped. NOVELTIES FOR TEA TABLE. Little Accessories That Add Much to Attractiveness. A girl who has her own tea table can make it much more attractive by often having little novelties. All girls like to try something new, and the new things become by and by regular favorites. One of these novelties is to put about a spoonful of orange marmalade in a cup of tea. It gives a delicious flavor and is a change from the usual slice of lemon. Many persons have served marmalade sandwiches with tea, but it is newer to use the marmalade in the tea and some other kind of sandwiches. Those made with a nut paste would be good, or pato de foie gras. Swedish wafers buttered and heated would also be delicious. Some girls do not care for tea and are very fond of chocolate, so it is a good plan to serve chocolate, too, for one's friends. It can either be done by having the chocolate rent up from the kitchen all made or by using an instantaneous chocolate for unexpected company. The latter is made by pouring boiling water over it just like tea, except that it must be stirred until dissolved.—Woman's Home Companion. Tasty Beef Tongue Boil a beef tongue in saired water until tender. Remove the skin and lay the tongue in vinegar to which two dozen cloves and a level teaspoonful of cinnamon have been added. Let it remain in the vinegar three or four hours. Pour four tablespoonfuls of olive oil in a saucepan; add a clove of garlic cut fine, one medium sized onion and several sprigs of parsley, chopped. When the onion is fried to a light brown add two-thirds of a bottle of tomato catsup, three tablespoonfuls of Worcestershire sauce and a dash of cayenne pepper. Remove the tongue from the vinegar, lay in the sauce, cover and let simmer until ready to serve. Rolled Oats Bread. This makes two loaves. Take one cup of rolled oats, put into bread pan, turn on two cups of boiling water, stir and while hot add a small tablespoon of lard or half lard and half butter, a heaping teaspoon of salt and two tablespoons of sugar; also two of molasses or one of dark molasses. Now add one cup of cold water and, if cool enough, add one-half yeast cake dissolved in a little water. Now stir in all the white flour it will take with a spoon. Set in a warm place over night. In the morning, with spoon fill your pans part full, let rise to nearly top of pan, then bake an hour. Home-Made Chair Bottoms Take strong, heavy wrapping paper, cut out the form you desire and with a firm paste stick six thicknesses of the paper together, making a thick pasteboard. Trim the edges smooth like the pattern you cut, and with round-headed tacks nail it to the frame. After it is well dried varnish it and you have a neat, strong seat to the chair, with little or no expense. Beef Loaf. One and one-half cups of bread crumbs to two pounds of ground meat, or hamburger steak, three level teaspoons salt, half a teaspoon of pepper, or if preferred, use poultry seasoning to taste. Mix with milk and water, as much as can be used and have it hold together. Bake about an hour. Sponge Candy. One cup of table sirup, one cup of granulated sugar. Let boil until it cracks when dropped in cold water. Take two teaspoons of baking soda, rubbed smooth, stir soda quickly into candy. After removing candy from fire when thick turn out on buttered platter and let cool. Wine Sauce for Mutton Take one tumbler of currant jelly, one tumbler of tomato catsup, one tea-cupful of brown sugar, one tumbler of wine, one wineglassful of brandy, one half pint of mutton gravy, from which grease has been skimmed. Thicken this with a little flour. Cornmeal Pudding. Take a cupful of sour milk, a cupful of dried fruit, a pinch of salt and a half-teaspoonful of soda; add cornmeal to form a batter.

AND now the Negro is suspected of holding up and robbing a Pullman ear, If there is any mystery about a crime, the average policeman gets busy around the haunts of the dark. Because a Negro ean unflinchingly hold up the passengers of a Pullman car in broad daylight or in the early morning as they roll out of their berths and get their quarter’s worth, there is no reason to believe that he can play the midnight bandit to perfection. Negroes have no schooling in that line. White men robbed the Pullman THE AWAKENING, EVERY WHERE there is expectation of marked advance in busi- ness during the coming spring and summer, and everywhere the wide- awake business man is anticipating this expected advance with in- creased activity in all those preparatory lines which exert an influence upon trade. Throughout the past year the uncertainty which always attaches to presidential campaign years has been manifest in stagnated business and industrial conditions, and dull times have been a by-word throughout the land. While Colorado, with its numerous natural re- sources, has not suffered so much as other states from the universal slump in trade, a decided falling off in business has been apparent, but because of those resources and many other fortunate advantages. we should be among the first to feel the effects of an assured return to those normal settled conditions which inspire confidence and set every- body to work in the development of enterprises and the re-establishment of commercial and business relations which indicate the general pros- perity of the masses. Responding to the demands of trade, Congress is at work at Washington upon a new tariff measure, whose schedules thus far reported are general beneficial to Colorado products, and thus eyery possible opportunity is being opened for an era of prosperity in the state such as optimists have predicted and conservative business men have hoped for. The only thing needed for the present is for business men generally to get in touch with the people, through such judicious advertising as, in the past, has afforded them safe and legitimate re- turns. The people are waiting. We are well aware that the readers of The Colorado Statesman are expectant. The advertising columns of this paper have proven the instigation of a sure, legitimate and profit- able yolume of trade in the past, and the peculiar conditions which make them profitable to the merchant and tradesman were never more fayor- able than they are today. We therefore, urge upon the merchants of Denver the advisability of making our columns a souree of convenient and profitable communication to reach a peal not otherwise reachable, Easter, with its lavish new fashions, is almost upon us, and only an il- lustration of styles and a demonstration of trade bargains is necessary to clinch the waiting boom in trade. Discreet investment and liberal public outlay are the present watehwords, and with these no wise busi- ness man or merchant can fail to conneet the advertising columns of the Colorado Statesman. THE SOUTHERN DELEGATE. delegations to Republican nationa inge their hue to a considerable deg dopted by President Taft in his ¢ For more than thirty years the N the United States has been empl ored men accorded seats in successi 5 andl throughout the renter coe: SOUTHERN delegations to Republican national conventions may be expected to change their hue to a considerable degree under the con- ciliatory policy adopted by President Taft in his effort to break up the solid South. For more than thirty years the Negro’s prominence in the polities of the United States has been emphasized by the big delegations of colored men accorded seats in successive Republican na- Wonal conventions, and throughout the greater portion of this term their presence has been regarded not only as indicative of the advanced position taken by the Republican party upon prineiples involving questions of personal liberty and the equality of citizens before the law, but it has been popularly regarded as an indication of the invincible power of the Republican party through the combined array of elements whose united strength assured victory at the polls. With the passing of former issues involving the individual rights of citizens, the idea that these delegations did not represent a sure and certain delivery of votes upon election day, and at the least that they did not hold out any promise for a steady and substantial increase of party strength, began to take shape, and for the past decade these Southern delegations have been regarded as a negligible quantity, of ereatest use in the manipula- tion of wires by candidates seeking the presidential nomination, Even the colored men of the North came to regard the condition an unnatural ‘one, because of the fact that, owing to intimidations and voting restric- tions in the South, northern colored men actually cast more votes for presidential candidates than did the colored men of the South who were so liberally represented in the national conventions. ‘That this condition could not continue indefinitely has been a recognized fact for some years, for the broad drift of industrial issues has carried the influence of the Republican party oyer the Southern borders and awakened there the desire to take the reins of that party in the South out of the hands of colored men, The new leadership in the Republican party has recognized that desire and determined to meet: it, while still assuming to uphold the now secondary principles of individual liberty. By such influences as the powerful sponsors for these new ideas can bring to bear, from now on, Republican organizations in the South will be shifted into other hands thar those now holding them and Southern delegations may be expected to undergo a bleaching process, the ef- feets of which will be plainly apparent in the next national Republican conyention. We are not of those who believe that the Negro will suffer because of this development, but we are led to hope that we shall gain in Southern sections more than we shall lose in Northern conyentions. A Third Sex . By LADY VIOLET GREVILLE, Prominent English Woman Writer. \CH sex has its own distinguishing quality, Man has strength and virility; woman, sweetness and virtue. Tt has been te served for the twentieth century to create a third sex, the man- woman. The quality of femininty, das ewig weibliche, seems to be dying out, and a new race of women, who contemn it and imitate the worst kind of man in their love of brutality and violence, is rising up amongst us, Sympathizers with this new third sex, man-haters and marriage-despisers, “Amazons who feed on flesh and know not men,” are in the habit of declaring Shak shat ee gaia ae aa ene tt este ae cation and the spread of learning, totally oblivious of the fact that, as far back as mediaeval times, women were learned, with a solidity of knowledge which is rare now. Why have we evolved this curious phenomenon, the third sex—girls who are determined to be and remain bachelors, forgetting that men tire of solitude and take to themselves mates for comfort and consolation ? We have arrived, no doubt, at an cra of transition; the struggle and com- petition of life. is fiercer than ever before; but, granting this, a spirit roams abroad which has nothing to do with competition, It is the mocking spirit, the spirit of doubt and cynicism, the spirit of Mephistopheles. Hitherto women were the peacemakers, the blessed. creatures to whom men weary with toil and disappointment turned for love and refreshment. ‘The ideal of home was rest and comfort. Now, on the contrary, it is the woman who has grown restless, who must ever be gadding, whether intent on work or amusement, who denies, scoff, sneers, and asserts herself, The question to be faced is, will the feminine element in woman disappear in the future? Fierce competition, reckless rivalry, publie work, platform- speaking, incessant strain and excitement must inevitably change and harden a woman’s nature. While, as man vill still remain the stronger, a taint of bitterness and disappointment must warp and destroy the sweet serenity of the sex. If life is to become a mere scramble for money and liberty, women arrayed against men, bitter rivals, ken antagonists, one fears that woman, handicapped by physical disabilities, will inevitably go to the wall. ‘aw must have the sanction of the free will. Where America surpasses Europe is in its personal liberty, which is the heritage of a race of heroes. But this is doomed to be extinguished by the legislatures of a time-serving generation.

Hither some people cannot or they will not understand that we walk by faith and not by sight when we walk with God. And the happiest people we have ever known are those who humbly believing in God’s goodness adjourn to the brighter light of a better day the things that are not very clear this morning. Living in this world as though we were in a Russian prison where day and night we are con- scions of an all-seeing eye watching every little thing we do, is just the way to become a nervous wreck or a fanatic, which is the same thing, Talking with the departed as the spiritualists pretend to hold converse is like a long-distance telephone interview with your best friend and is more of an aggravation than a solace. Figuring out the very day when Jesus will come the second time results in worry whether your calculation is correct, and when you find it is not then you worry the rest of your life because you made yourself so ridiculous, And so all through the list. ‘There is no surer way of tormenting one’s self than to become a victim of the habit of being curious most of the time about those things God has seen fit to keep to himself.

Playground Assn., Pittsburg, Of the four essentials to the health of the school boy or girl—food, air, sunshine and exercise—the Inst three are furnished by the public play- ground, and only by the playground. ‘The world has not yet ceased to marvel at the results of the Greek learning, that learning whick sprang up in a city which, when it had enough money to build either a school or a playground, chose the latter. The education nearest to the Greek to-day is that supplied by the publie playground. bee American Liberty Is Doomed By COUNT LEO TOLSTOI. The Man-Woman a Creation of the Twentieth Century It is true that America does not exile one to Siberia or hang one on the gallows for protesting against the government. But nevertheless it has its lynchings and, what is far worse, its judicial murders. It has its great railroad casualties by which thou- sands are killed by the criminal careless- ness of the great corporations, and besides all this it has the exploitation of the poor by the rich. \ll this proves that government can not improve the moral nature of man, and hat brute force always defeats its object. ae can be no coercion of the soul.

It will be found exceedingly tender—“Home Depart- ment” National Magazine. Currant Fritters.

The Peak of Tenerife, as seen from the ocean or the other fslands of the Canary group, may be described as the highest mountain for its height in the world, This is owing to the fact that, viewed from a little dis- tance, it sweeps right up from the very sea level, and thus the whole 12,200 feet of its elevation are seen at one glance without, as in the case of the giants of the Alps or the Rockies, one having first to ascend some four or five thousand feet before obtain- ing a view of it.

ANNUAL SERMONS K. OF P. Sunday was a great day for Pythian- ism in Denver. It was the occasion of the annual sermon for the Knights of Pythias of Damon Lodge No. 5, and Pythians No. 11, and all visiting breth- ren. Every Pythian turned out and the boys presented a fine appearance. Campbell chureh ‘was filled early. Pythians in Colorado are enjoying re- markable growth and interest this year, The coming conclave at Kan- sas City has roused great interest all over the state, and many are coming in preparing to go to Kansas City, and give Colorado a great boost. Damon No. 5 and Pythian No. 11, and the Courts of Calanthes, escorted by the uniform rank, and headed by the Den- ver Colored band, were repeatedly ‘cheered on their way to church. The church was elegantly decorated with flowers and the colors of the order. Special music had been prepared by the choir and was well rendered. The annual sermon was preached by Rev. Willians and full of splendid ad- vice to the order. In his sermon he dwelt particularly on friendship as the rock upon which the order was found- ed He told in eloquent and graphic terms, the simple, yet touching story of Damon and Pythias, and laid before all the great lesson of friendship to be learned for a careful study of these great characters. He brought out very clearly how much we need constant and tried friends In our daily life. The great moral he drew was unswerving fidelity to each other and how much we could help to lift up by bearing each other's burdens. The sermon was well delivered and received. Leaving the church the boys gave a very credit- able exhibition drill as they marched back to the hall. It wonld be incom- plete not to speak of our Denver band. The boys are doing fine and will make the visiting bands at Kansas City set up and take notice. The Man For the Occasion. A Paper Read Before the Colora- do African Colonization So- ciety by Rev. A.C. Murphy. (PUBLISHED BY REUQEST) Every calling has its fitting occu- pant—the calling for the man, the mah for the calling; and what is true of a particulaf calling is also true of an oc- casion whatever form or time it may arise. The man who rises to the occa- sion is the one who shows a fitness to meet the conditions embodied in it. ‘The one responds to the other and im- mediate or ultimate success is the re- sult. This is seen in every depart- ment of human endeavor, fet it be in the fields of art and sciences, in the worlds of agriculture and commerce, in the realms of poetry and oratory, in the spheres of historic research, or in the common every-day affairs of life, there is a man for the occasion. There is nothing outside of man, nothing ex- ternal to his complex composition but what can be successfully met and made measurably subservient to his will and being. This, however, is only true 0 far as the earth and the full- ness thereof is concerned. Neverthe- less he goes beyond the sphere terres- tial and grapples with conditions etht- cal. The occasion arises for relative measurement and distances between earth and the peopled firmament above to be known and by man is met—the occasion arose for the world to know the difference, if any, between light- ning and electricity and it took a Franklin to discover this identity. The stars from the sky, the rain from the clouds the fruits from the tree, all would fall to the earth, The occasion arose, Newton met it, and the world understands the law governing falling bodies. Bgyptian bondage spent its force and Moses rose to the occasion to lead the children of Israel to a land flowing with milk and honey. The walls of Jericho fell and Joshua led the host which trampled around them. ‘The pages of secular and religious history are full of examples of men who have fallen in line with the occa- sions as they presented themselves and the world today is better because of them. This twenty-fourth anniversary of the organization of the Colorado Afri- can Colonization Company is a recog- nition of that fact. Have the conditions in this country materially changed since 1885? Yes, they have, but not to the extent of making the Negro fully and univer- sally satisfied with his own condition. Influences have been at work to im- prove his state as well as to discourage him in his aspirations. Since the close of the Civil war the Negro has changed his base of operations for one purpose or another largely because of persecu- tion, to the North; has he drifted to the East and West? Has he gone to settle and perchance to improve his material condition? Inducements have been offered him to take up his abode in the fatherland and many have availed themselves of the opportunity to go thither, and from all accounts they have met with success. Mr. J. N. Walker rose to the occa- sion by effecting the organization of color having for its object the coloniz- ation of the American Negroes to the continent of Africa, Through his strenuous efforts, his intense zeal and courage others have become interested, the cirele of enthusiasm has widened until it has reached the White House and the halls of Congress. Twenty-four years ago the popula. tion of Liberia was about twenty-five thousand civilized people. Now it is said to be about fifty thousand, Surely has Mr, Walker proved himself a fit ting exponent of this important move ment and with grace, mey be con ceded to be the man for the occasion OFFICIAL CALL. ‘The executive board of the State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs of Colorado and jurisdiction will hold their annual meeting at 2230 Curtis street, Denver, Colo., April 8, 1909; session, 10 a.m. All state officers and presidents of local clubs are urged to attend.

Her car is upholstered in dark blue broadcloth and her chauf- feur wears a neat and unostentatious livery of corresponding tint. On either side at the front are mirrors, which enable the chauffeur to keep constant- ly informed as to what vehicles are following him, and thus minimize the darger of collisions at turns. The interior of the car is the em- bodiment of luxury. ‘There is an elec- tric dome light, supplied with current from the storage battery of sufficient capacity to keen tt aglow for 24 hours. Occupants of the tonneau can com- | municate with the chanffeur by means of a speaking tube, or may employ an _annunciator, which causes to flash up before the eyes of the car driver such signals as “start,” “stop,” “slow,” faster,” “right,” “left,” “home,” etc. The most distinctive “feature of | President Taft's motors is the insignia on the side doors, in lieu of the mono- 'srams which are now displayed by "most owners of expensive automobiles. |The emblem on the presidential car is the coat of arms of the United States ‘in colors and this decoration serves ‘instantly to identify the car to all passers by in Washington, The coat ee arms thus emblazoned takes the | place, in a sense, of the red, white "and blue cockades which distinguished |the White House equipage during the | Roosevelt administration. ©.

Not only is the new car the first ve- hicle of the kind ever maintained for a first lady of the land, but it ig prac- tically the first automobile used by a mistress of the White House, for Mrs. Roosevelt rarely entered an automo- bile, being in full sympathy with her husband's well-known prejudices on the subject. ‘The automobile which has been in stalle? as Mrs. Taft’s equipage of state is distinctly the property of the new mistress of the presidential mansion. President ‘Taft has a steam automobile of the regulation touring car type, and another of the same description will he added later, these two ma chines being purchased with the re- cent congressional appropriation of $12,000 and being applied to official conveyances—that is, for the use of the president and his secretaries in the discharge of their duties.

On one of these occasions the choleric Scotchman answered one of Washington's arguments by this outburst: “I suppose, Mr. Washington, you think people are going to take every grist from you as pure grain; but what would you have been if you hadn't married the rich Widow Cus- tis?” Gen. Van Ness, a well-born New Yorker, was one of the many suitors for the hand of Marcia Burns. He be- came a resident of Washington, living at first with his bride in the old cot- tage which she would never permit to be taken down. He became mayor of the city, his portrait was painted by Gilbert Staurt, the mansion erected on the Burns’ estate was one of the finest in the country and the resort of the distinguished people of Washington. In Oak Hill cemetery Van Ness had erected a tomb in imitation of the temple of Vesta. On each anniversary of his death the legend has it that his favorite troop of six white horses make a ghostly midnight gallop around the old mansion. Whether the bureau of American republics will inherit the ghostly horses with the site of the an- cient mansion remains to be seen. Ble a?

When one sees the surface of a house or other building seating, or peeling, or spotted or blistered, or showing other symptoms of paint "disease," it is evident that a poor painter has been on the job, and that poor paint was used—or possibly that a good painter had been dominated by a property-owner who knew nothing about paint. It is an easy matter to be informed on paint and painting. A complete painting guide, including a book of color schemes, either for exterior or interior—specifications for all kinds of painting—and an instrument for detecting adulteration in paint material, with directions for using it, may be had free by writing National Lead Company, 1902 Trinity Bldg, New York City, and asking for Houseowner's Painting Outfit No. 49. Then, every houseowner should make it a point to get only well-known reliable brands in buying his materials. Pure white lead is especially important, or the paint will not prove satisfactory. The famous "Dutch Boy Painter" trademark of National Lead Company, the largest makers of pure white lead, is an absolute guarantee of the purity and quality of the white lead sold under it. That trademark is a safeguard against paint trouble. WITH MOTHER A CLOSE SECOND. "Hi, you, Willie! Wat's de matter?" "Nuthin'. I'm trainin' for a Marathon!" TWO YEARS OF FREEDOM.

The report of the Senate committee on Governor Shafroth's message calling the Legislature to account for not having passed the measures promised in the Democratic platform was somewhat bitter. Senator Gove attacked the governor's position on the ground that the writer should content himself with looking after the executive department and let the legislative department alone. The senator characterized the governor's suggestion that opposing members should resign as "hurid advice, a manifestation of the violence of his temper, the vehemence of his passion, and the excitement under which he seems to have been laboring." New State Engineer. Dr. Charles W. Comstock, consulting mining and civil engineer of Denver, has been appointed by Governor Shafroth to succeed T. W. Jaycox as state engineer of Colorado. Dr. Comstock came to Denver in 1879 and located at Silver Cliff. Then he moved to Canon City and later came to Denver, in 1897 he was made professor of engineering at the Shool of Mines, which position he held for five years. He was graduated from the institution in 1890 and from Cornell in 1894. CASTORIA For Infants and Children.

THE Colorado THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY THE majority of American women, excluding the very rich, will not adopt the long trailing skirt for their lingerie gowns. The simple skirt in clearing length is as necessary now as it has been in seasons back. For the lingerie frock, too, the trailing skirt is not practical, for the bottom of the skirt is sure to become soiled after one wearing, and this, of course, makes the laundry enormous during the summer season. Nothing is more attractive in warm weather than a simple lingerie frock of muslin, made round length with self-toned hat, parasol and shoes. The clinging princess skirt, defining somewhat the curves of the figure from the bust line down, yet loosely fitting, with no suggestion of tightness at any point, will be the standard style on which most of the frocks will be built this coming season. It is this feature which renders a badly-made gown impossible or, at least, very unbecoming. Given perfect cut and supple fabric, there is no occasion for tightness in such a gown. The bungler attempts to achieve, through drawing the material very tightly over the figure, what she cannot obtain through cut, and so she falls in models of this class. The three dresses shown on this page are simple lingerie gowns—one of muslin and two of plain white linen. They may be easily copied and made up at home. IDEAS FOR ROOM FURNISHINGS Some Suggestions That May Be of Help to Young Housekeepers. The white muslin curtains, long ones or sash, are prettier for bedrooms, and ecu lace are pretty for living room, sitting room or parlor, as you may call it, while lace for dining room and hall windows, upstairs and down, the colored madras curtains for a den or library. If in your living room you should have a window seat you can get three-quarters' length curtains, so as not to cut them off, a white iron bed and white chiffoniere, white chair, etc., and a bedspread made of white dotted muslin lined with white or some delicate color, with shams to match, also dresser scarfs of same material are pretty for a young girl's room. A room fixed up with yellow and white, with a brass bed, is pretty for a guest chamber. A white lace spread, lined with yellow china silk, is pretty for a covering for a brass bed. SEASON'S NECKWEAR ```markdown ``` Neckwear of the season is of mull and lace; one having buckles of colored crystals. Dainty Cases and Sacks. For the dressiest of town costumes are new card cases covered first with white satin, then with old venise lace. Others are covered with lace net. embroidered, and inset with tiny lace motifs. Little sacks for the fan or opera glasses are made to match—such a pretty fancy; and one easy of achievement with the new fad for hand needlework. The covers for sacks and portecartes are removable and so easily cleaned. KEEPING THE HAIR RIGHT. Proper Way of Drying and Cleaning Woman's "Crown of Glory." There is never the slightest doubt as to when the hair is clean, for when rubbed between forefinger and thumb it squeaks a little if all dust has been removed. However great may be the temptation to dry the tresses over a radiator or before a register, it must be resisted, and dried by rubbing with towels, letting the mass hang loose at times while resting the arms. The most attention must be given the scalp, for the lower will dry itself. If there is the slightest disposition to waviness, when dry, only a comb should be used in removing the snarls, for a brush straightens too much. No application is better for lusterless hair than salt. Rub well into the roots of the hair at night, then tie up in a large handkerchief or wear a nightcap. Brush out the salt in the morning. Several applications will show a marked improvement in the appearance of the hair. Put a tablespoonful of ammonia into a basin of tepid water and dip the brushes down into it until they are clean. Dry with the bristles down, and they will be like new. One-Piece House Frocks. Women who have to superintend or do much of their housework will be foolish not to avail themselves of the fashion for one-piece frocks. They are excellent for the working hours. They are narrow, trim, short and have no undue trimming to rumple and soil in a day's wearing. They fasten down the front, usually down the left side from the shoulder with pearl buttons. One can get these buttons with patent clamps so that they may be removed when the frock goes to the wash. Longer Shoulder Seams It is said by those who know that bodices are to be cut more squarely across the shoulders, and therefore the sleeves will be set lower on the arms. This will be accomplished by running the shoulder seams much longer than we have had them during the directoire period. This smacks something of the Second empire. But everybody is prepared for anything just now. Embroidered Net Tunics.

Quickly Made Dessert Has Foundation of Stale Brown-Bread Crumbs—Portuguese Apples—Good Way to Serve Sole. This is the way one woman utilizes stale brown-bread crumbs and makes one woman utilizes crumbs and makes a quickly-made dessert. She covers the bottom of a glass dish with powdered sugar and bread crumbs mixed. Over this she puts a layer of whipped cream a quickly-made dessert. She covers the bottom of a glass dish with powdered sugar and bread crumbs mixed. Over this she puts a layer of whipped cream and preserves. The cook who prepares this is a German and she calls the simple dainty "gotterspeise." Portuguese apples are prepared thus: Choose 12 apples, not too large, and all of one size. Peel them and remove the core. Stew gently in sirup until tender, but not broken. Leave till cold. Place in a glass or silver dish, strain and then color the sirup pink and fill the hollow in each apple with red currant jelly, melted sufficiently to be poured in. For the sirup use a breakfast cup full of sugar, the same of water, the juice of one lemon and the peel of half. An appetizing way to prepare so-called sole—really flounder—is to skin and fillet two of the fish and season with salt, pepper and a little lemon juice. Place them in a well-buttered fireproof dish, cover with buttered paper and bake in a moderate oven for 20 minutes, moistening with a little stock. For the sauce: Stew four large tomatoes. When cooked rub them through a sieve and mix with them the juice of half a lemon, a pinch of salt and pepper and add the liquid in which the fish has been cooked. Stir well, make thoroughly hot and pour over the fish. Chopped mushrooms or truffles may be added to the sauce and a glass of wine should not be omitted. Stewed chicken with olives is delicious. Cut the chicken into neat joints and fry them in butter or sweet olive oil in a saute pan; pour off the oil and add a finely minced shallot. Cook for a little time and then moisten with rich brown stock or gravy. Cover the pan and stew gently for about 35 minutes. About 15 minutes before taking up the chicken add 20 stuffed olives. Dish up on a crouton of fried bread and garnish with croutons. Pour the sauce (strained) round the fowl and serve. Steamed Apple Pudding. Is made with two cupfuls of flour, four teaspoonfuls of baking powder, one-half teaspoonful of salt, two tablespoonfuls of butter and three-fourths of a cupful of milk. Sift the dry ingredients, work in the butter, and add the milk slowly, mixing with a knife, and roll out on a floured board. Cut four apples into eighths; put them in the middle of the dough, and sprinkle with sugar. Draw the dough up around the apples and lift into a buttered mold carefully, so that the apples do not break through. Cover tightly, and steam one hour and 40 minutes. Shepherd's Pie. Brown an onion, sliced, in two tablespoons of butter; add two tablespoons of flour, and cook until frothy. Add salt and pepper and one pint of stock made from the bones and trimmings of whatever meat is at hand. After boiling a few minutes add three cups of meat, nicely trimmed; turn into a baking dish and cover with hot mashed potato (reheated). Brush over the potato with the yolk of an egg diluted with a little milk, brown in the oven and serve at once. Pickling Eggs at Table. Take a hard-bolled egg, remove the shell, cut in two and put on salt and pepper, and then squeeze the egg a little, or crack the hard yolk with the fork or knife blade, so it will allow the vinegar to run into the bowl of white, as it holds the hard bolled and cracked white. To squeeze a little with the fingers is more convenient and cracks the yolk in several directions, so as to allow more vinegar to be absorbed. Banana Croquettes. This is a very nourishing dish, easily prepared at a few minutes' notice. Peel and scrape ripe bananas. Cut each one in two pieces and cut off the sharp end, making them look like a croquette. Roll them in chopped nuts of any kind—either peanuts, hickory or walnuts. Lay on a leaf of lettuce and serve with a little French dressing containing a great deal of olive oil. This is a splendid luncheon dish for the hungry schoolboy. Ginger Snaps. Mix together a half-cup each of butter and lard, creaming them thoroughly with two cups of sugar, add a beaten egg, a cup of molasses, a half-cup of strong hot coffee, a heaping teaspoonful of baking soda dissolved in the coffee, a teaspoonful each of cinnamon, cloves and ginger powdered, and enough flour to enable you to roll out the dough. Roll thin, cut out and bake in a quick oven. Hot Pot Boll a little veal 20 minutes; take a few brains and beat with an egg and season; then put in a buttered dish a layer of chopped veal and chopped onion; then a layer of oysters; then a layer of brains and so on until the dish is full. The top should be cracker. Before putting in to bake put in the oyster liquor and the veal broth. Cover and cook about one hour.
