LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY PUNGENT PARAGRAPHS Protests Againsts Sending Negro Soldiers to Fort Logan Colorado Sunshine. The Strike Ended. VOL. XV. PUNGEN PARA Protests Againsts Sending Ne Colorado Sunshine. A few month ago, THE COLORADO STATESMAN had a few words to say about a protest filed by the WHITE citizens of South Denver against the placing of the Negro soldiers of the Twenty-fifth infantry at Fort Logan. The silence of the War Department caused us to believe the incident was closed. Now comes one of our local journals with its usual gusto to announce that the Negro soldier would be located elsewhere to satisfy the protest of some of our good citizens. Its a real pleasure to read the comment of "The Miners' Magazine," a Denver publication. In its comment is pointed out the uses and abuses of the Negro soldier. The Negro soldier it says, "When he was ordered to Cuba and made himself breastworks to protect the petted darlings of Teddy the Great from the fire of the Spaniards at San Juan Hill;" and "When he bears the weapon of murder to slaughter labor when on a strike." This is the sad story of the Negro soldier. His blood leaves a trail on every battlefield from the days of Crispus Attucks to San Juan Hill. He has won a place in American history and should have a place in the hearts of American people. The protest of the South Denverites will not effect the placing of Negro soldiers at Fort Logan. The protest is puerile and futile, and stamps the signers as narrow prejudiced persons who feed their infinitesimal brains on poisonous prejudices distilled from an ignorant and lurid imagination. It does not stand to reason that the President and the War Department will be influenced by such dismal croakings. COLORADO SUNSHINE The sun now shines in Colorado and the voice of the turtle is heard in the land. Spring has come in earnest and the entire state is waking to the great business revival which comes with it. This great business revival needs no evangelist to call the people from the leather-ergy of winter slumber. Everyone is roused to a sense of this golden opportunity. With more than the usual snow-fall in the mountains and vallies the outlook both for irrigated and dry farming is bright. By means of the "smudge pot" the fruit crop has been saved. The promising out look for agricultural prosperity reacts on all lines of business, and already the merchant and tradesman begins to feel the effects of it, in the increased demands for goods. We are greatly pleased with the reports received from various parts of the state touching the colored people who have settled in the smaller towns and on farms. There is plenty of work for them and they are going about it with a hearty good will. They are manifesting the kind of energy that wins. In the larger cities our people can well take lessons of them. Industry, honesty and frugality win out. These elements know no race. They belong to humanity. They are yours to sow and cultivate bring you a harvest of prosperity an hundred fold. We need to be more industrious. We need to be more frugal. We need to be more honest with ourselves and everyone else. Keep in this glorious Colorado sunshine. Keep your friends posted on the opening resources of our great state, and you will be happy and grow rich. THE STRIKE ENDED Last week we called attention to the possible strike. From reports received we believe all questions to have been peacefully settled and the labor conditions in Denver will remain quiet. This is a good thing for our people. Now let us adopt the motto "make good" and in what ever capacity we are employed or in whatever business we are engaged, let us strive to "make good." This is a golden opportunity. If we can make good openings for Negroes will multiply. Let us not work for the night is coming, but work that the bright morning of greater things is coming to us. There will be no strike, so "make good." Dr. A. B. Jackson, who for years has been Ernest Hogan's private physician, was summoned to New York this week to the bedside of the comedian, who has been ill for some months past. Mr. Hogan's condition is serious and necessitated a consultation of several prominent specialists. Mr. Hogan resides at 1002 Bronx, New York City. Mr. Hogan was thought to be improving, but a sudden change occured during the past few weeks and his condition grows steadily worse. DENVER. COLORADO. SATURDAY. MAY 8. 1909. State Hist & Nat Hist Societ State House tronizing Tho RADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, NEGRESS ATTRACTS MOB OF CURIOUS IN BERLIN. Berlin, May, 1.—Lula Covington, a young and comely American Negress, has been the sensation of Berlin this week, when she provided the same excitement for the crowds accustomed to promenade Unter den Linden that is usually derived from watching the kaiser flash by in one of his high power automobiles. Lula is paying her first visit to Germany as the nursemaid in the family of David H. March, a New Orleans merchant. When the Negress who is almost inky black, emerged for the first time from the Hotel Bristol last Sunday with little Miss March the promenading throng was transfixed with wonder. There are 100 colored men in Berlin, but a colored woman is a novelty only seen once or twice on the vaudeville stage. One had never before been out of captivity on the public streets, and Lula therefore was destined to be the object of first-class curiosity. Crowds on the sidewalk backed away and formed a wide path for her and the baby while they ran the gantlet of hundreds of awestruck eyes. Then a possession of gaping spectators follows in her train, and when she reached the Brandenburg gate, two blocks from the hotel, she found herself at the head of a regular cavalcade. Lula is good tempered, and smiled through the ordeal, but when she observed that her continued progress theatened to obstruct traffic, she decided to return. The next day Mr. and Mrs. March drove to one of the big shops in the Leipzigerstrasse, leaving the nursemaid and the baby in their automobile cab outside. When the parents returned they found the auto surrounded by a throng of what Lula termed "Gernau white taash," and the services of two crossing policemen had to be requisitioned before the party could move off. Louisville, Ky.—It is authoritatively stated that Mrs. Maggie Walker, who is the president of the St. Luke's Bank at Richmond, Va., and who has the distinction of being the first woman president of a bank in the United States, has given $500.00 to the Woman's Training School which is located at Washington, D. C., and which was founded by Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, Corresponding Secretary of the Woman's Convention, Auxiliary to the National Baptist Convention. In lieu of this fact Miss Burroughs is putting forth an effort to raise $6,000. She has scheduled a national rally for the first and second Sundays in May, asking the friends to send at least $1.00. The woman's training school idea was born in the brain of Miss Burroughs. ```markdown ``` RACE NEWS Dr. E. Harrison, one of our prominent colored physicians has closed a real estate deal by which he purchases for his two sons, John and James Harrison, a 240 acre farm twelve miles from Wichita. The farm is well improved and 140 acres of the land is under cultivation. Searchlight. The Negro Masons of Richmond Indiana, have completed their new and modern building, ready for dedication on May I6. The Negro fraternities of the country are rapidly waking to the fact that the only distress sign recognized by everybody in this country at face value is the sign of the X dollar bill. St. Louis, April 26.—The validity of Oklahoma's "Jim Crow" railroad regulations is left to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals by a petition filed here last week by Negro residents of Oklahoma. They appealed from the United States Circuit Court of Oklahoma, where the railroads' demurrer was sustained. New York, April 29.—Among the passengers on the Cunarder Lusitania which sailed yesterday for Liverpool, was William H. Reynolds, a Brooklyn millionaire, and four Negro musicians. Mr. Reynolds explained that he was taking the quartet with him so that they could entertain him and his guests on board the ship and in a tour through Europe. Rochester, N. Y., April 27.—For the first time in the history of this city a Negro was foreman of a Supreme Court jury. James A. Ross is the one to gain such distinction having been foreman in Justice Pound's court. The case at issue was brought by the sons of the late Charles Newman to break the will of the testator. The jury, however, sustained the will. The white man, Carr, now in jail in Dayton, charged by his paramour, among numerous other crimes, with murdering while blacked up, two little white girls about the fisrt of the year, and which nearly precipitated a race riot, only helps to prove that culture and respectability among many white men are a veneer, as thin as a minstrel's cork, which only needs to be scratched to reveal the brute. A slumbering public will yet wake up to find the Negro more sinned against than sinning. Probably there is no small city in Maryland where the Negro is doing better than in Cambridge. This little city has a population of 6,000, one-third of whom are colored people in the town, there is every indication that they are away ahead of their brethren in many business enterprises. They have fourteen well stocked grocery stores, two physicians, one photographer, one oyster packing house, one lawyer, a merchant tailoring establishment, a beef dealer, a carpenter and builder and a general store where furniture, carpets, clothing and other merchandise are sold. Washington Letter BY JAMES CUBERT CAMPBELL Mr. Calvin W. Chase, Editor of "The Bee" and a very prominent citizen is reported as being very ill at his home in this city. The publication of his paper, "The Bee" is being conducted by Hon. Ralph W. Tyler, Auditor for the Navy. The Y. M. C. A. (colored man's branch) is now engaged, in extensive preparations incident to the great demonstration which is to be held on Sunday May 9th when Dr. Booker T. Washington' the Great educator, will address a mass meeting at Blasco's Theatre. This branch of the Y. M. C. A. expects this to be the most elaborate affair they have yet inaugurated. An announcement from the White House that Mr. Albert S. White, a colored man of Louisville Kentucky has been appointed to a representative office, either in Washington or in the Diplomatic service, should not be surprising. It may not be a long time either before this announcement is made. Authoritative sources of the highest character offer the information that a positive promise on the part of the Administration has been made to Mr. White and his friends that he would in the very near future be given substantial recognition in the way of a good political position. Last Friday week for the first time in its history the Washington Police Court had the experience of having a United States Senator appear before it, and strange too, this Senatorial appearance was in defense of a colored man. Robert Pelham, a colored clerk in the Census office, whose home is in Detroit Michigan had been arrested the Saturday night previous by Policeman John Watts, white, of the Eighth precinct. The arrest and the NO. 33 story connected with it, in some way, came to the knowledge of Senator William Alden Smith of Michigan, and he immediately communicate, with Mr. Pelham, offering his services in his defense. On the Saturday evening mentioned Policeman Watts, whose patrol district includes a number of blocks along North West 14th street, for some trivial affair arrested a colored man and his wife. Placing handcuffs on them they were dragged to a call box on 14th street where a large crowd soon assembled. Mr. Pelham happened along at that time and he too joined the crowd. Watts twisting the colored woman's handcuffed wrist caused her to turn her face towards him, whereupon he struck her a brutal blow across the forehead with his club, laying that portion of her face open. So badly did he beat the colored woman that when the patrol wagon did arrive they were obliged to send her to the hospital instead of the station house. Pelham is a "redblooded" colored man—he couldnt stand to see a defenselessless woman so inhumanly beaten without doing something in her aid. He drew an envelope and asked one or two witnessing the affair for their names and addresses. Police Watts saw this, and as soon as his beaten victim had been thrown into the patrol wagon he singled Mr. Pelham out of the crowd, and arrested him. He quickly dopssited the five dollars collateral and left to appear in court which he did last Friday. When the Senator arose to take charge of Mr. Pelhams defense, Judge Kimball asked him his name, "Smith" answered the Senator. "Are you a member of the bar?" "Yes" was the almost inaudible reply of the Michigan Statesman. A litile later the court discovered that "Smith" was none other than William Alded Smith, United States Senator from Michigan. To say that the whole court bulged its eyes, sat up and took notice would be putting it mildly. Policeman Watts had to be supported. Mr. Pelham was discharged. He went immediately before the Police Trial Board and filed charges against Policeman Watts, and you may safely risk your farm, that when Mr. Pelhem and Senator Smith have finished with Policeman Watts, he will never beat another colored woman, that is, in the capacity of a Washington police officer. It was the same patrolman, John Watts, who last June arrested Ex. Register of the Treasury. Judson W. Lyons and Nathan Alexander, Receiver of Public Money at Montgomery Alabama. Mr. Lyons, it is to be regretted, failed to take his case to the Trial Board although he was urged at the time to do so, and was assured that he had a good case. Thurston H. U.

HERBERT’S ‘1519 CURTIS STREET Ice Cream, Ices, Candies DISAPPROVES BILL RAISING THE SALARIES OF COUNTY OFFICERS. hs VETOES BILL PROVIDING FOR | AGRICULTURAL COMMISSION AT COST OF $10,000. Denver—The first bills to be killed by the governor Tuesday were the six bills which passed the Legislature raising the classification of counties in the matter of salaries of county of- ficers. The bills would have raised the salaries of county officers from $300 to $1,200 a year. The six bills were for the following counties; Routt, Yuma, Arapahoe, Fremont, Otero and Otero and Bent combined. | There were thirty or forty bills in- troduced before the Seventeenth Gen- eral Assembly affecting the classifica- tion of counties and only six were passed. The governor says in his message to the secretary of state, “It seems to me that no uniformity of classification can be obtained by the passage of individual bills. ‘The class- ification of counties in the state of Colorado for fees was made according to the population of each county, and the classification of salaries, without specifying population of counties, cor- responded with the classification of counties for fees. I believe there should be a re-classification of coun- ties for salaries, but it should be done according to the population of the re- spective counties. As the census of the United States will be taken in Sune of next year, a re-classification will doubtless be made by the next General Assembly, when all the coun- ties will be treated fairly according to their population.” Governor Shafroth also vetoed the bill by which the government donates the Fort Lewis Indian school to the state, upon the condition that it be maintained as an educational institu- tion, The bill contained no provision for maintainance and the offer of the government is good until July 1, 1910, so the governor saw no reason for hurrying in the matter. Two bills granting rights of way through the grounds of the state in: sane asylum at Pueblo, were vetoed. One granted a right to the Kansas. Colorado Railroad Company, and one for a wagon road. Most of the states allow one-half acre of ground for each of the patients contained in their state insane asylums. Colorado's asylum has 700 inmates and should have 350 acres, but has only sixty. Governor Shafroth did not feel like giving any land away for that reason. The Kansas-Colora+) road also told . the asylum authorities that they would be satisfied with a twelve-foot right of way and upon receiving assurance that no objection would be raised, the officers of the road came to Denver and got a bill through calling for a forty-foot right of way. This would amount to two and one-half acres. During the evening four bills were vetoed, Senator Carpenter's bill, No. 4, proving for an additional —one- twentieth of a mill levy for the sup: port and maintenance of the Normal school of Greeley was vetoed. H. B. 108, amending the statutes relating to the state militia so as to remove the military poll tax was vetoed because it would impair the state revenues. S. B. 256, providing for an agricultural commission, to have offices in the state capitol, and a $10,000 appropria- tion, was vetoed. The duty of the com- mission was to have been the conduct- ing of farmers’ institutes and assist: ance of state fairs as far as possible. Governor Shafroth did not think that there was sufficient need for the com- mission at the cost it would entail. S. B, 59, amending the statutes in regard to improvements in cities and towns of less than 100,000 inhabitants, was ve- toed. The bill related particularly to the advertisement of Improvements Any city of the character named might, under the bill, advertise in some paper having a general circula- tion in the city or town. The intro- ducer of the ill intended that it should apply to towns particularly where there was no daily paper pub- lished. But Governor Shafroth de- cided in his statement to the secre: tary of state that it would permit the commission of frauds by allowing a city or town council to advertise in a paper of another town in order to con- ceal information about some contracts. The bills signed by the governor were: §S, B, 342, appropriating $176, 000 for the State University; S. B. 118, appropriating $75,000 for _ the School of Mines; ©. B. 82, appropriat- ing $119,372 for the State Agricultural College; H. B. 40, appropriating $29, 060, for the Colorado Schoo! for the Deaf and Blind; S. B. 4, appropriat- ing $100,000 for the erection of a prac tice school building at the State Nor mal school, and S. B, 263, appropriat- ing $2,000 for the establishment of au agricultural experiment station.

The case has attracted much interest. Denver. — Governor Shafroth has raised the estimate for the gencral revenues of the state $120,000 because of the splendid showing made by in. Sgnge from the inheritance tax iaw. | }é original estimates placed the in come from the inheritance tax law at $100,000. Governor Shafroth added $120,000 to this. The result will be that many legislative appropriations may be saved by this fact which would otherwise have been vetoed by the governor. Another attempt to blackmail Mrs. Genevieve Phipps, the third within the past six months, of Denver, was brought to light a few days sine, when it was announced by Postoffice Inspector Cochrane that a_ letter threatening Mrs, Phipps’ life if she did not pay a $10,000 demand, was turned over to his office recently. The matter has been kept secret be- cause of the annoyance that has been caused Mrs, Phipps by her dynamiting experience with Mrs, Allen P, Reed.

DENVER'S colored pioneers are slowly but surely making up and closing their accounts Along with the white men and women who blazed the trail across the plains, they are going on to that other "undiscovered country." A few weeks ago Wellington Randolph, honored by a life of wonderful patience, determination and self denial, passed on. Two weeks ago Edward J. Sanderline, whose name and fame traveled with that of the city in its years of early development, following the beloved wife who went last year, passed on. And so we make up the silent procession, as the work of the builder is finished. CALL TO THE SETTLER COLORADO is offering some splendid inducements to men who have the courage, the hardihood and the foresight to become first settlers upon a virgin soil. When we consider the degree of development which the state has already attained and the available markets for all varieties of products which a few years' careful nursing will win from the soil of verdant valley or cultivated plain, it is good cause for wonder that there is yet opportunity left for an eager population to appropriate the benefits which fall to the share of the pioneer. But these benefits will not be long neglected, for a wider knowledge of their value is just as sure to attract those eager to attain them as are the less numerous and no more valuable discoveries of deposits of precious metal, such as first attracted and still attract wealth hunters to the Great West. If there is anything that the Negro ought to awake to, it is the value of his opportunity as a settler in new and undeveloped districts. When he allows emigrants from far off Europe or Asia to come and snatch from under his eye the rich opportunities which he has allowed to waste, he is allowing his own doom to be sealed. Many ventures' some Negroes have left the East and South and bettered their conditions in a secondary way by absorbing the passing nutriment left in the wake of the white man's development of the cities and towns of the West, but these conditions change with the years and the days, and leave nothing but servility for the Negroes that follow. This because we have not taken up and developed the land in the open districts, to make our wealth and our influence permanent and abiding. Colorado has fruit lands second to none in the United States, awaiting only settlement and development; farm and ranch lands lying within areas which, before many years, will enjoy the benefits and increased value due to the realization of vast irrigation projects which are now forming; truck and gardening lands in proximity to growing towns which give promise of permanent and increasing markets. Those portions of the state which are being opened up by new railroad projects offer the very best opportunities to pioneer settlers. The Negro who will be one among the hundred white men to take advantage of the opportunity which this new country presents will be a far wiser Negro than the one who settles in and hangs about the big city, depending upon odd jobs or servile occupations to support and raise his family and start his children in life. Colorado is calling for settlers and offering rare premiums to those who hear the call, and she will not object to the Negro whose intelligence, thrift and determination are sufficient to make him master of the soil. LIBERTY VERSUS LICENSE LIMITING the privileges of the respectable while extending the license of the disreputable, is the strange policy which the governing powers of this country, especially through local authorities, have almost universally followed in the interpretation and application of the laws of the land to the colored population in general. A condition which the white people will not tolerate or allow even incipient recognition among themselves is permitted to become the prevailing practice among that portion of the people which is most easily abused and demoralized. Every law in the United States which is admittedly intended to restrict the black man from the enjoyment of privileges wherein white men's rights are unquestioned, are aimed against the aspiring and progressive classes of colored people, whose virtuous and natural longings lead them to desire the higher and better things of life, such as they see other people enjoying. The disfranchising laws in force in the South do not fail in their intended purpose to keep from the polls those colored men who are best and most rightfully fitted to vote; laws limiting or specializing and disparaging what we are in the habit of calling the colored man's civil rights, have their principal and greatest effect upon the most cultivated and refined classes of colored people. So on, through every grade of proscription, whether by law or rigid social custom having the effect of local law, the element that deserves best suffers most. Upon the other hand the tastes and natural inclinations of the roughest and least responsible elements of the Negro race lead them to emulate the white man in all those licensed privileges and unlicensed practices which are identified with corruptive social tendencies, and in all of these, it is the almost universal practice of police authorities backed either by political dictation or official neglect and carelessness having all the effects of corruptive persuasion, to wink at and extend the license of this least deserving element, in exchange for such political service as may be demanded, or in the erroneous supposition that greater crimes are thus averted. The effect is demoralizing to both elements. The better classes are, in a measure, made subject to and fearful of the lower elements of their own race. And from these lower elements come all the crimes charged against the Negro without distinction. If it were the policy of the governing people to grant greater liberties to the deserving among the colored people and to suppress the license so mischievously extended to the low class saloon and dive, the bawdy house and loafing resorts and the many and fast multiplying forms of questionable amusements infesting district quarters in all of our large cities there would be very much less of a race problem in the United States than there is under present and long prevailing practices. Books Portraying Illicit Conduct Are Dangerous By REV. DR. CHAS. H. PARKHURST HE home is the basis of everything best in our social, ecclesiastical and civic life. It is fundamental to everything that is making for social respectability and wholesomeness. And the keynote to the home is matrimony. T This being so, whatever tends to weaken the matrimonial bond is inevitably bound to exert a deleterious influence on every aspect of the home life of to-day—an influence which will be far-reaching in its infamous effects. Every time matrimonial infidelity—or anything that savors of such—is spoken lightly of or garbed in an attractive aspect the highest and truest ideals of marriage are made to suffer in the eyes of all people. But especially in the case of the thoughtless and the young is this true. Anything which gives publicity to departure from the pure simplicity of marital relations weakens the life of the home in the eyes of these people and sows a deadly crop of sin and corruption in its wake. Whether the medium through which this is done be the setting forth of actual incidents wherein loose marriage relations are typified, or whether it be through fiction, makes no difference—the result is exactly the same. In fact, if anything, fiction is apt to do more harm than an absolute narration of facts, for the latter is not so liable to dress moral looseness in an attractive and radiant way—a way which will appeal to those who do not take the trouble to go below the surface. And whereas the youth, both male and female, often would not care to bother with a newspaper account of divorce, infidelity and things of that sort, he will read fiction. Therefore I say that the type of fiction which is dealing with illicit conduct is doing a vast amount of harm. The tendency to-day is bad enough in that direction anyhow without being fostered by literary representation. The whole matter is very much in the air—altogether too much so. It is never to be forgotten that the less marriage is respected and revered the less the home and all that goes with it will mean, the less the foundations of our social life will mean. It is really astonishing how easily people will incline toward and accept what is not nice, and how rapidly moral tastes, once on the downward track, will deteriorate. PETER H. BURGESS The slum grocer, having his store in an eight by ten foot basement, is the busiest man in Chicago. He is busy avoiding kicks and knocks from customers, from the health department, and from many other sources. If the kicks slow up occasionally, he gets busy planning how to get out of his basement storeroom and secure better and more spacious quarters for his little business. Most probably he is figuring on getting out of the grocery business altogether, or at least out of the slum part of it. Grocer Is Busiest Man in Whole City By GEORGE H. TANNER For no sort of occupation is so tiring and disconcerting as keeping a little grocery in some dingy and moist basement in the Ghetto or in any other congested district. The hours of work are from four o'clock in the morning until ten o'clock at night. But this is not the only drawback of the small slum storekeeper. There are other more plainful situations which confront him. Perhaps the worst of these is the necessity of keeping the store clean and the goods fresh. Both of these are things which the basement grocer simply cannot do, at least not well. He has no facilities for keeping his place clean and has no trade large enough to allow his goods to circulate quickly and to get in a new stock of goods every other week or so. There are hundreds of little stores in Chicago where the keeper of the store has only one room back of his store to live in. As the proprietor of such a store has one and generally more children, the insufficiency of the "home" is apparent. So the family encroaches on the business premises and the home and store become one. Frequently upon entering such a store one will find some of the family wash drying in the rear of the little room. Children crawl about the floor, playing with the measures, the scoops, or whatever else they can lay their hands upon. The woman, the wife of the storekeeper, who acts as saleswoman while he is away, and frequently while he is there, too, has her babe in her arms or lap. When a customer comes in she puts down the baby and is ready to wait on him. Interesting Facts of Deadly Loco Weed By CHARLES F. ALLEN Wherever you go in Colorado or any other part of the cattleman's country, you will find the word "locoed" applied both to animals and to men, to indicate that something is wrong with the subject mentally, allowing that animals have minds. Perhaps you start from a livery with a fine span of four-year-olds, perfect mates, only to find that one of them is to be watched without ceasing. This one may be afraid of every calf that looks through a wire fence, or of rabbits, or the whistle of prairie dogs, or sometimes he may bolt without apparent cause, as if struck by a whip. The driver always tells you that the horse is locoed, and as you drive along the prairie or in many places in the mountains, he will show you the loco plant by the wayside. It is a silver-gray plant of the pea family, seldom more than eight inches high, and covering a space of the size of a very large dinner plate, often much smaller, but always appearing thrifty and defiant of the midsummer heat. The story runs that a cow or horse, finding the loco weed the first and freshest plant on the range in the spring, is driven by hunger to eat it. The effects are supposed to be after the nature of opiates and an appetite is soon created that makes a "dope fiend" of the animal. It becomes thin, loses appetite and energy, and in all other ways resembles the opium victim in its symptoms. At last it refuses to hunt food, and lies down, to be covered with flies and picked to death by magpies, if in their haunts. A man who ran horses one winter in Oklahoma stated to me that he lost 60 out of 100 head in six months—all from the effects of loco. There is no cure possible so long as the victim has opportunity of getting more loco. Death affords the sole relief. A man in a pinstripe suit stands with a cigar in his mouth, holding a top hat in his hand. He is standing next to a table with a bottle and a glass.

It is with no small degree of pride, as well as pleasure, that we announce the appointment of Miss Bertha J. Monday of Denver as a teacher in the public schools of Washington, D. C., and rejoice with her many friends that she is making good in the great intellectual and cultured East. Miss Monday is a native Denverite, graduating from the Denver Manual Training High School in the class of 1903. Not being satisfied, and imbued with a desire and ambition to fit herself thoroughly for her work in the future, she entered Howard University, Washington, D. C., and graduated there in the class of 1908. In October of the same year she received an appointment as a teacher in the Baltimore public schools, giving the utmost satisfaction. In January last a teachers' examination to fill vacancies and new positions created in the public schools at Washington was held and Miss Monday stood at the head of all who took the severe test. She is the niece of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Cowell, one of Denver's most influential and highly respected families. Mr. Cowell has been connected with the great Colorado & Southern railway system for fifteen or sixteen years past in the office of the president, Mr. Trumbull, until he sold out his interest recently. Mr. Cowell is still at the Colorado & Southern offices, where he is held in high esteem by all the officials. We heartily wish Miss Monday success in her new field of labor, and when she returns to us we will bid her thrice welcome and rejoice with her and her family in her progress. A TRIBUTE. Cheyenne, Wyo., May 3, 1909. Editor Colorado Statesman, Denver, Colo. Dear Sir—No news has been more shocking to me since I left the Queen City than that of the death of John M. Williams, an account of which I read in the columns of your paper last Saturday, and knowing him as I had for more than a dozen years, his demise appeals to the emotion of the heart to add my deepest regret in his loss. There is no time, however, when it is so difficult to find language to express such emotions as on an occasion of this kind. I cannot speak of him with justice to his career in Denver as those of a pioneer age, but during my acquaintance with him I have observed that he was always an ardent and faithful worker in all his undertakings, and especially was this true in politics, and his astute knowledge of this and his unquestionable influence made him a factor that arrested the attention of the leaders of the Republican party, of which he was identified. Not only in politics, but the blending of his variety of adaptations made him much honored and esteemed by all classes of citizens. He was happily adapted by Nature to all the various phases and changes of society—one of those few men who are ever at home with the highest and purest; ever at home with the lowest and poorest. His determinations were those which he thought were right, and no influence could swerve him from such a course. This fact was clearly demonstrated at the Republican national convention at St. Louis in 1896, when he gained a national reputation by being the only member of the Colorado delegation that stood for the gold standard, making this fact known by an emphatic and eloquent address on the floor of the convention hall, where he was applauded by people from every state in the Union. How many there are who pass away unthought of and unnoticed. It was his happy lot to command the respect of all who knew him, and his good deeds merit the eulogy of the exhaustive category of the most gifted orator's or writer's vocabulary. The sympathy extended to the bereaved by his numerous friends in Denver is joined in by Yours respectfully, S. H. HOBSON.

Lend Themselves Most Effectively to Shades of Tan—Soft Colors the Rule for Every Kind of Costume. The choicest cuts for elegant gowns lean largely to empire effects. With these charming draperies—for the delightfully skimp designs are scarcely more than coverings for graceful figures—pale tints accommodate themselves. Tones in tan, ranging from a brown to a salmon tinge, are displayed by a number of frocks. The grays, though lighter, are still suggestive of the smoke tint worn in 8 Gown Suited for Infinite Variation. the winter, and the gamuts in violet and green include too many shades to be counted. Indeed, it looks as if every color, and every change of which it is capable, will be worn, though a species of English Idea of Draped Scarfs Can Be Made Extremely Effective. Among the essentially new ideas of the season are the scarf-trimmed gowns that take unto themselves all the splendor of the oriental, combined with the grace of drapery which belongs only to the very early and the very late centuries. The scarf idea provides a very good opportunity for a woman of moderate means to turn the plainest of gowns into the most elaborate. Assuming that she possesses a gown of straight lines made of some clinging fabric, and that she knows how to trim it solely with an embroidered scarf of crepe de chine or chiffon cloth, you will see at a glance what could be accomplished. If she had a plain black satin gown, for instance, and draped over its one shoulder a black scarf embroidered with colored silks and glittering sequins and edged with a heavy black silk fringe, would the gown not be charming? The scarf could be arranged to emphasize the best points of the figure. This scarf-draping idea is primarily of English origin, although it has been adopted by some of the French designers. In any case, and no matter to whom the credit may go, this bit of drapery carries with it a host of advantages. The Toilet Table Nothing gives quicker relief to a burn than a poultice of scraped raw potato. Sugar is said to contain 25 per cent. more nourishment than anything else that can be purchased in the way of food except wheat flour and corn. The pumice stone has been found valuable in the removal of superfluous hair from the face or arms, but it should be used only after the parts have been moistened with peroxide of hydrogen and ammonia, then gently rubbed with the soaped pumice. Rub the pumice over a cake of pure castile soap before starting the work. sage is a specially smart green, and plum color and amethyst intrude among the violets. Black and definite white, though seen, stand behind color. Fashion's window presents the look of an esthetic rainbow. Which means that, though colors rule, they are never strident. Over all is flung a gentle dimness, as if brilliant hues were veiled with a misty gray or stuffs had wept themselves pale somehow. In truth, all of Dame Fashion's moods lean to the sentimental this season. It is a pleasing quality and one always suited to elegant and fair womanhood. The material of a gown is biased entirely by the model chosen. All empire effects call for textures soft in finish, the silks, satins and cloths used hanging with the limp suppleness of chiffon. A high satiny gloss is a luxurious feature of many of these materials, and with such rich textures go handsome laces and bead passementeries of a superb sort. On the bodice of a sage green empire dress, which showed the inevitable lace guipm and undersleeves, was a passementerie which imitated the raised bunches and foliage of small white grapes. The dress itself of chiffon over a slip of sage green messaline. A very beautiful gown, which may be made of cloth, velling or of any of the numerous soft silks on the market, is shown in the illustration. The model for this was in one of the shades of old blue, with trimmings of soutache braid and silk fringe and a chemisette of net in a matching color overlaid with gold. The blouse is made over a smoothly fitting lining, and the high-waisted skirt can be cut in either two or three pieces, as it is made without a front seam. Many departures from the original suggestions are possible. For instance, the chemisette could be of white lace, and instead of the gold which overlays it, a passementerie could be used, or else the lace left to show. If the chemisette is of whole lace, with any color for the rest of the gown, there could be bodice touches of coral, bright green or chinese blue, which is a highly decorative tint for trimming. But as to the gold. Bullion granitures, when the quantity is restrained, are very much in vogue, and there is scarcely a dressy French frock whose corsage, at least, does not show the glint of gilt. A necktie made of gold braid, finished with a tassel of gilt threads and beads, trims the throat of many a beautiful French gown. NOVEL HAIR DRESSING. A Round shoulders are easily cured in young people. You must make a radical change in your sleeping position. In fact, you should really learn to sleep without any pillow at all. During every moment of the day bear your infirmity in mind. Stand straight and look up, not down. Look people in the eyes as you walk. Acquire the habit of holding the head up. Walking about your room for half an hour each day with a book balanced on your head will help you to stand straight. This keeps the hair off, yet is no assurance it will not grow, for it is almost impossible to kill hair roots, even with electricity, the best-known means, which is not always reliable and is extremely painful. Troublesome Coliffure. Nobody has time in these days of hair cushions, puffs, colls and switches to arrange the hair before breakfast as it is to stay all day; yet nobody not blessed with abundant natural tresses likes to face her family looking like a shorn lamb. One woman with scanty locks has solved the problem in this happy w_y: The hair is lightly shaken and brushed, and is then tossed loosely back in a full, all-around pompadour, the ends being tied with a bit or ribbon at the crown of the head. Time is not taken to braid and pin the ends, and the ugly knob or coll is wisely escheduled. The long hair is quickly roll 1 over a small rat no longer than a finger, and the puff thus formed is pinned lightly to the hair in lengthwise position. Such a hairdressing will look neat and attractive through a whole morning's work about the house. Douglass Undertaking Co. (Successors to the A. M. Lawhorn Co.) J. R. Contee, es. R. E.

DICK FRAZIER AND TOM LEWIS PROPRIETORS A First-Class Resort For Gentlemen Denver, Colo BE SURE AN TRY IT. ENEMIES OF WAR HOLD A CONGRESS SECOND NATIONAL PEACE CONFERENCE IN CHICAGO. EMINENT MEN ARE PRESENT Statesmen, Diplomats and Political Economists Assemble and Discuss the Final Elimination of Armed Conflicts. Chicago.—The sessions of the second National Peace Congress, which opened in Orchestra hall Monday afternoon, attracted to Chicago many thousand earnest enemies of war, among them being many distinguished statesmen, diplomats and political economists. President Taft is the honorary president of the congress, and Secretary of War Jacob M. Dickinson is its active president, but neither of these gentlemen was able to be present, owing to their official duties. However, there was no lack of eminent men to preside over the sessions. As a preliminary to the congress, special peace services were held in many Chicago churches Sunday morning, peace meetings arranged by labor and socialist organizations were held in the afternoon, and in the evening there was a big mass meeting, at which addresses were delivered by Rev. Jenkin Lloyd Jones and Rev. Emil G. Hirsch, both of Chicago, and President Jacob Gould Schurman of Cornell university. Welcome to the Congress. Orchestra hall was filled to the limit Monday when the first session was called to order by Robert Treat Paine of Boston, the presiding officer, for governors, mayors and hundreds of clubs had been asked to appoint delegates, and most of them had responded. President Dickison's address, the same he delivered several weeks ago before the Hamilton club, was read, and the congress was then formally welcomed by Gov. Charles S. Deneen for the state, Mayor Fred A. Busse for the city and Rev. A. Eugene Bartlett, chairman of the reception committee. The secretary then read a brief letter from President Taft, in which the chief executive heartily commended the aims of the congress. Miss Anna B. Eckstein of Boston next was introduced to the meeting and read a "World Petition to the Third Hague Conference." This was followed by an address by Dr. Benjamin F. Trueblood, secretary of the American Peace society, on "The Present Position of the Peace Movement." What Has Been Accomplished. Dr. Truehask said in part: "Let me sketch in the barest outlines what has already been accomplished. The interpretation will take care of itself. "I. The men and women, now a great host, who believe that the day is past when blind brute force should direct the policies of nations and preside at the settlement of their differences, are now thoroughly organized. A hundred years ago there was not a society in existence organized to promote appeal to the forum of reason and right in the adjustment of international controversies. To-day there are more than 500, nearly every important nation having its group of peace organizations. Their constituents are numbered by tens of thousands, from every rank and class in society—philanthropists, men of trade and commerce, educators and jurists, workingmen, statesmen, rulers even. Triumph of Arbitration. "II. The position which the peace movement has reached is no less distinctly determined by the practical attainments of arbitration. We are this year celebrating what is really the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of our movement, for it was in 1809 that David L. Dodge, a Christian merchant of New York city, wrote the pamphlet which brought the movement into being, and led six years later to the organization in his parlor in New York of the first Peace society m the world. There had then been no arbitrations between nations in our modern sense of the word 'nations.' In the 100 years since 1809 more than 250 important controversies have been settled by this means, not to mention an even greater number of less important cases, the settlement of which involved the principle of arbitration. Within the past 20 years so rapid has been the triumph of arbitration that more than 100 international differences have been disposed of by this means, or between five and six a year for the whole 20 years. Arbitration is no longer an experiment. It is the settled practice of the nations. A score of disputes to-day go naturally to arbitration where one gives rise even to talk of war. The Hague Conferences "III." In order to determine further the advanced position which the peace movement has attained on its practical side, the two Hague conferences and what they have accomplished must be taken into account. It is still the habit of some persons to speak disparagingly of these great gatherings and their results. Some do it because they are satisfied with nothing short of immediate perfection; others because they wish the whole movement for the abolition of war to fail. Othere do it purely from ignorance. "What have the two Hague conferences really done toward bringing about that state of world organization and co-operation, the result of which will, as is universally conceded, bring the general peace of the world and final relief from the ruinous burdens of 'bloated armaments,' because it will establish the reign of law among the nations as it now prevails among individuals throughout the civilized world? What They Have Done. "The first Hague conference gave us the permanent international court of arbitration, to which 24 powers finally became parties by ratification of the convention. This court has now for eight years been in successful operation, and not less than four controversies have been referred to it during the past year. The second Hague conference enlarged and strengthened the convention under which this court was set up, and made the court the tribunal, not of 25 powers, but of all the nations of the world. "Another step of still greater moment was taken by the second Hague conference in the direction of providing a perfect substitute for force in the settlement of international differences. It voted without a dissenting delegation for the principle of an inwith judges always in service and international court of arbitral justice, holding regular sessions. "The high water mark of the work of the second Hague conference was reached in its action in regard to future meetings of the conference. The principle of periodic meetings of the conference hereafter was approved without a dissenting voice. The date even of the third conference was fixed and the governments urged to appoint at least two years in advance an international commission to prepare the program of the meeting." Dean W. P. Rogers of the Cincinnati Law school brought this session to a close with an eloquent talk on "The Dawn of Universal Peace." Addresses Monday Evening. Monday evening's meeting was devoted to "The drawing together of the Nations," and was presided over by Dr. Hirsch. The addresses were on "Independence Versus Interdependence of Nations," by Prof. Paul S. Reinsch of the University of Wisconsin; "Racial Progress Towards Universal Peace," by Rev. H. T. Kealing of Nashville, Tenn.; and "The Biology of War," by President David Starr Jordan of Leland Stanford, Jr., university. At the same time another meeting was in session in Music hall, with Miss Jane Addams in the chair. The speakers there were Joseph B. Burtt of Chicago, on "Fraternal Orders and Peace," Prof. Graham Taylor of Chicago Commons, on "Victims of War and Industry;" Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, on "Organized Labor and Peace," and John Spargo of Yonkers, N. Y., on "International Socialism as a Peace Factor." Commercial and Legal Views. Two big meetings were held Tuesday morning, one on commerce and industry, presided over by George E. Roberts, president of the Commercial National bank of Chicago, and the other on "Women and Peace," with Mrs. Ellen M. Henrotin of Chicago as chairman. The former session was addressed by Belton Gilreath of Birmingham, Ala., W. A. Mahoney of Columbus, O., James Arbuckle, consul of Spain and Colombia, St. Louis, and Marcus M. Marks, president of the National Association of Clothiers, New York city. The women heard interesting speeches by Mrs. Phillip N. Moore, president of the General Federation of Women's Clubs; Miss Jane Addams and Mrs. Lucia Ames Mead of Boston. "Some Legal Aspects of the Peace Movement," was the general topic of the Orchestra hall meeting Tuesday afternoon, and the chairman was William J. Calhoun of Chicago. Prof. William I. Hull of Swarthmore college, discussed the advances registered by the two Hague conferences, and James Brown Scott, solicitor of the state department, talked about some questions which the third Hague conference probably will consider. "Legal Problems Capable of Settlement by Arbitration," was the subject of a learned paper by Prof. Charles Cheney Hyde of Chicago. Special Collegiate Session In Mandel hall, at the University of Chicago, a special session was held for universities and colleges, a feature of which was an oratorical contest participated in by students. Louis P. Lochner of Madison, Wis., spoke on "The Cosmopolitan Clubs." The general session of Tuesday evening was perhaps the most interesting of the congress. "Next Steps in Peacemaking" was the topic. The audience was aroused to great enthusiasm by an eloquent and spirited address by Congressman Richard Bartholdt of Missouri, president of the American Group, Interparliamentary union. Another paper that met with deserved applause was that of Edwin D. Mead of Boston on "The Arrest in Competitive Arming in Fidelity to The Hague Movement." The special collegiate session was continued Tuesday evening in Music hall, with President Nollen of Lake Forest university in the chair. President S. P. Brooks of Baylor university, Texas, spoke, and a stereoception lecture on the "Federation of the World" was given by Hamilton Holt of the Independent. Among the diplomats who came to Chicago to attend the Peace congress were: Ambassador Count Johann Heinrich von Bernstorff of Germany; Herman de Lagercrantz, envoy from Sweden; Wu Ting Fang, envoy from China; Alfred Mitchell Innes, counselor of the British embassy, and Dr. Halvdan Kont, of the University of Norway. The Japanese, Turkish and French embassies also were represented. PAINT EVERY YEAR. No One Wants to Do It, But Some Paint Will Wear No Longer. When you have a job of painting done you don't expect to have it done over again very soon. But to make a lasting job, several things must be taken into consideration—the proper time to paint—the condition of the surface—the kind of materials to use, etc. All these matters are fully covered in the specifications which can be had free by writing National Lead Company, 1902 Trinity Building, New York, and asking for Houseowner's Painting Outfit No. 49. The outfit also includes a book of color schemes for both interior and exterior painting, and a simple instrument for detecting adulteration in the paint materials. The outfit will solve many painting problems for every houseowner. Meantime while buying paint see that every white lead keg bears the famous Dutch Boy Painter trademark, which is an absolute guarantee of purity and quality. If your paint dealer cannot supply you National Lead Company will see that some one else will. THE TWO SIDES OF HISTORY. Some Pertinent Observations Made by Writer Evidently Not Fond of Subject. History is a running account of how King Somebody-or-other either did or did not get to a certain place, which nobody ever heard of, before King Somebody-else got there, from which we are usually supposed to conclude that it would have made quite a difference whether he did not not. Like nearly everything else, history has two sides. The history of the Garden of Eden depends upon whether it is related by a man or a woman. The history of the American revolution reads quite different in English books from the way it reads in our own books. The history of the civil war depends upon which side of the Mason and Dixon line you happen to be sitting when you write it. History is a bore, not only because you are unacquainted with the people who figure in it, but because it repeats itself—Life. Judge Will Wait and See An earnest plea was made by Attorney Charles Pettjohn to Judge Pritchard of the criminal court for leniency to a client who had entered a plea of guilt to larceny. The burden of the attorney's argument was that his client was the father of twins and was tempted to theft in order to feed the mouths of the infants. "Your honor, I will say frankly," said Mr. Pettjohn in closing, "that if I were the father of twins and needed food for my family, I would not hesitate to go out and steal it." "Mr. Pettjohn, when you are the father of twins I will consider your proposition," said Judge Pritchard—Indianapolis News. Salting a Diamond Mine Howard DuBois, the noted mining engineer, told a good story to the Tech men recently, illustrating the "art" of salting a diamond mine. The story was told of a man in South Africa who, while walking one day over his property, suggested that they assay some of the soil. In the search that ensued eight rough diamonds were found and offers began to fly through the air at a rapid rate for the land, when the host's wife called out to her husband: "Why, John, where are the other two?" The sequel of the story was left to the imagination.—Boston Record Drather Sitdown—Dat's a mighty short stub yer smokin', Dusty. Dusty Dodgework—Yep!

When a person has used coffee for a number of years and gradually declined in health, it is time the coffee should be left off in order to see whether or not that has been the cause of the trouble. A lady in Huntsville, Ala., says she used coffee for about 40 years, and for the past 20 years was troubled with stomach trouble. "I have been treated by many physicians but all in vain. Everything failed to perfect a cure. I was prostrated for some time, and came near dying. When I recovered sufficiently to partake of food and drink I tried coffee again and it soured my stomach. "I finally concluded coffee was the cause of my troubles and stopped using it. I tried tea and milk in its place, but neither agreed with me, then I commenced using Postum. I had it properly made and it was very pleasing to the taste. "I have now used it four months, and my health is so greatly improved that I can eat almost anything I want and can sleep well, whereas, before, I suffered for years with insomnia. "I have found the cause of my troubles and a way to get rid of them. You can depend upon it I appreciate Postum." "There's a Reason." Read "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs.

MIGHT BRING ON WAR MIGHT BRING ON WAR URGES ABSOLUTE NECESSITY OF A FIRST-CLASS FIGHTING NAVY. New York.—Ex-President Roosevelt declares in an article in this week's Outlook that it is the duty of America to wait and see whether or not Japan succeeds in preventing the immigration to this country of any appreciable number of Japanese of the laboring and small trading classes. If Japan fails, he writes, this government must protect itself by treaty or legislation, but he adds: "It would be doubly incumbent upon us to take the action in the way that would provoke the least possible friction and cause the least possible hard feelings." Mr. Roosevelt adds that "those well meaning but fatuous advocates of peace who would try to prevent the upbuilding of our navy utterly misread the temper of their countrymen." America would fight he says, whether prepared or not, and "all the peace advocates could do would be to prevent this country from being successful in the war." Although, he asserts, Americans have the right to say what immigrants shall come to their shores, they are powerless to enforce that right against any nation that chooses to disregard their wishes, unless "we continue to build up and maintain a first-class fighting navy." The professional peace advocate, he continues, who opposed the upbuilding of the navy, would place the United States where it would be at the mercy of any nation which wished to disregard its desires to control immigration, protect the Panama canal or take any stand for international honor or righteousness. Mr. Roosevelt is unsparing in his praise of the Japanese. He characterizes them as "a highly civilized people of extraordinary military, artistic and industrial developments; they are proud, warlike and sensitive," he adds, and continues: "I believe that our people have, what I personally certainly have, a profound and hearty admiration for them; an admiration for their great deeds and great qualities and ungrudging respect for the national character. But this admiration and respect are accompanied by the firm conviction that if not for the advantage of either people that emigrants from either country should settle in mass in the other country. "The understanding between the two countries on this point should be on the basis of entire mutuality, and therefore on a basis which will preserve unimpaired the self respect of each country and permit each to feel with kindly good will toward the other." Ex-President Roosevelt in his articles says that only the national government can carry out such a policy effectively, adding, "The surest way to do harm is for state, municipal or other local government to pass laws which would be ineffective to obtain the real object and yet would produce intense irritation. "The best of all possible ways in which to achieve the object is that which the governments of the two countries have now by common agreement adopted. This agreement during the last year or thereabouts has worked so well that actually more Japanese have left the country than have come into it." Missouri Prohibition Possible. Jefferson City, Mo.—Missouri likely will have a chance to vote on statewide prohibition. The Senate has passed the prohibition constitutional amendment, which already had passed the House. The vote was 23 to 8. The amendment which came to the Senate from the House was amended with a tax rider which provides for doubling the rate of taxation to make up for the supposed loss caused by prohibition. This was taken out. The bill, as amended by the Senate, will go into effect immediately, if adopted. Socialist Found Guilty. Fort Scott, Kans.-Fred D. Warren, business manager of the Appeal to Reason, a Socialist publication, charged by the government with sending scurrilous and defamatory, matter through the mails, was found guilty by a jury in the Federal Court here.

Fifty Millions to Denver Mint San Francisco.—Owing to the overcrowded condition of vaults of the United States mint here, and for the further reason than this is a seaport and therefore a more exposed place at which to store the government wealth than an interior city, the government has just completed the transfer of $50,000,000 in newly minted gold and silver to the vaults of the Denver mint. The treasure was handled in transit by the Wells Fargo Express Company.

Last year there were eight, and nearly $2,000 was expanded, or about $1 for each child, a very cheap price for the amount of good obtained. The Playground league is the name of the society of the playground boys themselves, who wear buttons and discipline all bad boys, thus making the government easy enough for those in charge. Not the least important result of the playgrounds in that city is said to be that involved in the self-government.
