May 3.—The Forty-first Anniversary of the founding of Hampton Institute for Negroes and Indians was celebrated on April 28 and 29. Hundreds of influential Negroes from all parts of the country assembled with their friends, including some of the most select Virginians from Norfolk and Hampton. The Ogden party consisting of fifty five from New York and Brooklyn, was also present to see what Hampton offers to ambitious Negro boys and girls in the academic domestic art and science, business, trade, home making and agricultural departments. The classrooms and recitations were thrown to general public inspection. On Wednesday evening the senior trade class held its exhibit of industrial work. Many white and colored people examined with satisfaction the fine specimens of work which the boys had made as of their course. The young women also displayed dresses, hats and sewing which they had prepared during the year. At the tradesmen class exercises which were held in the large gymnasium which will comfortably seat about 2,000 there was given a trades display on a large stage in which the representatives of some fifteen trades were actually doing what they had been trained to do skill-during some three or four years of work in the Armstrong-Slater Memorial Trade School. The battalion gave a wand drill to music on the lawn in front of one of the oldest school buildings—Virginia Hall, whose famous walls were sung up in the early '70s. The chief exercises were held Thursday, April 29. Dr. Booker T. Washington, who is commonly referred to as "Hampton's most distinguished graduate," delivered an address on the value of discussing with perfect frankness the question of Negro education. Dr Washington spoke for almost an hour on the value of frankness in discussing Negro education. He was closely and eagerly followed by all. The Southern white people, by their hearty applause, showed that they were keenly alive to the necessity of frankness and better economic relations between the two races. The address was notable for its vigor, its intensity, its absolute and fearless frankness. Dr. Washington spoke in part as follows: "The great opportunities to secure the funbamental things of life are not a thousand miles away from the Negro, but right about his door in every one of the Southern States. In the South the Negro has plenty of labor; in fact, labor seeks him. "Get acquainted with your county judge, school superintendent, sheriff. Invite them to your schools and churches. Let them see for themselves what the actual conditions and needs of the race are. Then you may depend upon their sympathy, their help, their co-operation. "Some honest, conscience white people of the South have not been convinced that the education of the Negro is a good thing. We cannot change their opinion by abusing them. They must be converted through object lessons showing that knowledge and skill are worth more to the South than ignorance and lack of skill. "The Negro is beginning to use his education in every part of the South so as to be of more service to himself and his white neighbors. Education must be harnessed to something to be of any value. "The Negro throughout the South is going to be educated by somebody. It is far better that he should be educated by the people in the community where he lives so that he will feel grateful to them and obligated to his community than by somebody a thousand and miles away. The more people suggest that the Negro cannot get education the harder will he strive to get that education. "Wherever you find the white people cultured or high-minded, you will find Negroes patterning their lives after them; wherever they are of a low moral tone, the Negroes are also of a low tone. "Increase the Negroes' wants and they will work six days a week, and not for two, for a pittance of food and a chew of tobacco, and a drink of whiskey. It is an insult to the best white people of the South for any one to advocate that the Negro should be kept in ignorance. Ignorance means filth, lack of skill, and inefficiency in labor." DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MAY 15, 1909. State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House onizing The ADO E JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, For the current expenses of the past fiscal year there has been an income of $242,55219. Of this amount "$76,371.04 was interest on invested funds, $55,649.06 was received from the land scrip fund, the Morril act fund, the General Education Board, the Slater Board the Peabody Education Board and the United States Indian appropriation fund; $4,613.96 came from miscellaneous Sunday schools and private individuals. Dr. Wallace Buttrick, secretary of the general Education Board, in a recent visit to Hampton, where he made a thorough investigation of its methods, declared his hearty approval of the Hampton system of education, and gave it as his opinion that the expense which it involves is fully justified by its results. Washington Letter Many Prominent Men for Big Offices Independent Order of St. Lukes to open Bank in Washington. Y. M. C. A. Meeting held in Blasco Theatre, Sunday. A casual survey of the field of political activities, particularly that portion of it upon which is camped the colored men said to be in the fight for "big offices" under the present administration would reveal the astonishing fact that up to date there are more than a dozen men whose names have been discussed in connection with the office of the Recordership of Deeds for the District of Columbia the position now being held by Hon. John C. Dancy of North Carolina. For a long time rumor has had it, that because of certain conditions, an unusually long tenure in office being one of them. Mr. Dancy would resign and allow some other man to take up the duties of his office. Among those whose names have been discussed with respect to this much sought office are: Mr. Whitfield McKinley, of the District of Columbia; Ex. Gov. P. B. S. Pinchback, of New York; Mr. A. S. White, of Kentucky; Hon. C. H. Payne, of West Va.; Attorney George Wassom, of Missouri; Col. Marshall, of Illinois; Mr. G. W. Eubanks, of Ohio and others. Notwithstanding this formidable array of candidates, backed up by a powerful influence Mr. Dancy yet holds on, and is quietly going about the work of his office apparently but little disturbed over the situation which seemingly threatens his tenure in office. In fact Mr. Dancy is but little disturbed, because it seems to be the impression that if the Administration makes any changes at all with respect to the Recordership it will not be inaugurated until af- --- ter January, 14th 1910. This fact became known here some days ago, when it was expressed, as is claimed, by a Senator who has been putting up a strong fight for a colored applicant from his state who feels that the official shoes of Mr. Dancie's would comfortably fit him. It is said the Mr. Dancie's commission does not expire until the above date, and that the Administration is not adverse to continuing him until the completion of his present term, and even then it is not certain that he will not be retained. The friends of the Recorder are very much pleased over the large number of candidates. While none of them will admit that Mr. Dancy is likely to retire, either now or later on, they do say, however, that his position is made much stronger by the many who are seeking the office. They figure that out of the squabble and scramble for the place will come Mr. Dancies retention. The Independent Order of St. Lukes of Richmond, Va., will soon open a bank in this city, capitalized at $100,000. The plan is said to be, to have the directors made up of one member from each prominent local organization. Considerable favorable comment has been occasioned by the wonderful business like development of this society. Its methods seem to appeal to the progressive element of the race. By far the most important event connected with the life of the colored people of Washington, during the past week, and perhaps one of the most important events in many of its features, which has been witnessed here in many years; was the monster meeting, held in The Blaseo Theater last Sunday afternoon. This great demonstration was under the auspices and in interest of the Colored Men's Branch of the Y. M. C. A. of the District of Columbia, Dr. Booker T. Washington being present to deliver the principal address. Two thousand five hundred men and more filled every seat and every inch of standing room of this vast building, while hundreds who came as late as three o'clock the time stated as beginning the exercises, had to be turned away. Any announcement that Dr. Washington is to address the people of Washington is a signal for a demonstration and a great out-pouring of people, but no demonstration upon any of his former visits here may be said to equal this Y. M. C. A. gathering of last Sunday. With his body, heart and soul wholly absorbed and consecrated to the great work of his life, Dr. Washington at all times speaks with much fervor, deeply impressing those who hear him, but the grand work and the great cause for which he spoke last Sunday seemed to have inspired him anew, and he rose to a splendor said to be unequaled by any of his former efforts on a Washington rostrum. Upon the conclusion of Dr. Washington's address Mr. J. E. Moorland spoke with reference to the work on the Y. M. C. A. building now under construction here. He stated that $20,000 was needed at this time to complete the work. He explained further that the building was ready for the roofing and that this was the critical moment of the work. He hoped and was confident, he continued, that $10,000 of the money would be donated at once by the colored people, thereby enabling those in charge of the building to draw on the remaining $10,000 of the $25,000 donation from Mr. John D. Rockefellow. By way of a silver offering at the doors and contributions made by envelopes, a good sum was raised at this meeting. Some of the other interesting features of the meeting was the excellent singing by Mr. A. N. Colwell and the Amphion Glee Club under the direction of Prof. J. H. Lewis. The music by the Lyric Orchestra was also a feature. In all the meeting and its management was a brilliant success, and Secretary Lewis E. Johnson, Mr. E J. Morton and Mr. J. C. Moorland should not only be given credit, but should be complimented. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Joseph Hall, of Cambridge an untrained elderly Negro of Cambridge, Mass., has perfected, so noted experts say, the working model engine in the world, guaranteed to run 90 miles an hour. The making of brick without straw by the Israelites pales in comparison against the accomplishments of Negro freedmen without training. It has come to light that John Leatham of Chicago, who was picked up in a cotton field by the late Nelson B. Holder, that Chicago shoe merchant, and in whose personal service Leatham worked for fifteen years was left $5,000 in the merchant's will. We say again the Negro will find his greatest source of wealth in the cotton and the corn of the Southland. A number of colored men of means of Kentucky have formed a coal and iron company, and purchased 3,000 acres of Morgan County land, preparatory to exploiting its rich mineral resources. How gratifying it must be to the Tuskegee leader to see Negro capi. NO. 34 talists instead of investing in airships or skyscrapers, "digging down deep in the earth!" The Afro-American students at Cornell university, Ithaca, N. Y., have organized a chapter of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity similar to those among the colored men at Yale and the University of Michigan. So far the only man of the race who has written a Greek text book is Professor William Saunders Scarborough, now president of Wilberfore college, at Wilberforce, Ohio. At the coming Presbyterian Assembly to be held in Denver, next month, the race question will come in for a long and serious consideration. The question is brought up by the proposition made at the last Assembly to unite the colored and the white Presbyterians. Some of the ablest men of the colored Presbyterians have been selected to present the colored man's side of the question. Pittsburg, May 1.—A committee from the Colored Protective League of Pittsburg today visited Mayor William A. Magee and demanded that one Negro be installed in each office of the city government in recognition of the power of the Negro vote in Pittsburg. Refusal, he was told would mean the forming of an independent colored party. Mayor Magee told the committee to use all their time forming the party and not waste time coming to him, as he did not intend to appoint Negroes. Lexington, Ky., May 6.—President W. G. Frost, of Berea, announced today that the great industrial school for colored people will be established near Shelbyville, Ky. Owing to objection to a colored school near cities, a railway station and postoffice exclusively for the students will be established, and will be called Lincoln, Ky. The largest individual contributions to the movement are Andrew Carnegie, $200,000; Mrs. Russell Sage, $25,000; Mrs. Henry Pickering, Boston, $25,000. Covington, Va., May 3.—John Wolford, white, aged twenty-five years, was tried today before Justice Cushing charged with attacking a seven-year-old colored girl, the daughter of Harry Wallace. He was found guilty and sentenced to pay a fine of $100 and six months in jail. Wolford came here from Harrisonburg, Va., about five years ago. Harry Wallace, the father of the girl, assaulted Wolford after he was arrested and while he was out on bail. Wallace was arrested, and Justice Cushing fined him $250. EDUCATING SOUTHWESTERN BLACKS THE BOOKSTORE dark. They sat on their trunks and on the floor. After he had calmed their fears that the college might not be open after all the president left them and set out to get, and get quickly, some of the things that were most needed. The people who lived near the college responded liberally. The president returned with a jug of molasses and 14 loaves of bread, and went back to get a little stove which was the first contribution that was offered him in the first house he went to. This stove, a round, barrel-shaped galvanized iron affair, is still preserved, and treasured, though it is no longer used. They built a fire, for the evening was chill, and seated on the floor, the college president, his wife and the students ate their bread and molasses and were undiscovered. That was the beginning—the first lesson that President Lovinggood, who since has become the Booker Washington of the southwest—had in the great art of begging. Every college president, from the biggest universities down to the humblest, has to be an accomplished beggar. The more money he can get for his college the bigger man he is in the educational world and the better fitted to head a university. By what he has accomplished since Lovinggood has shown that he possesses in a truly remarkable degree this greatest of all the necessary arts—one that stands higher than any in the curriculum—the art of begging. When the college president and his pupils got up the next morning they found that during the night some vandals had amused themselves by breaking bottles of ink against the walls of the building and defacing them. Windows had been broken and the whole place looked even more desolate than it had at first. But Loving-good was undaunted. He set about getting at once the things he needed most. He begged pennies and nickels and dimes from the negro population of Austin. He organized one "social" after another to get the furniture that was required. The second evening there was a "chair social." People desiring to attend had to bring a chair as a ticket of admission. The college got 87 chairs in this way. A "sheet and pillow case entertainment," a "dish social," a "laundry equipment fair" and a lot of other entertainments to get the supplies they needed followed with the shortest of intervals between. Temporary rooms for dining hall and kitchen were prepared. Aged colored washerwomen came with bedding and made beds ready for students with their own hands. "Saturday after Saturday," says President Lovinggood, "these women came, each with their small earnings tied in a little piece of cloth, divided them with the school, knelt with me and prayed for the school and went their way. Week after week an aged colored laborer, Richard Woods, came and gave us of his meger earnings. He still comes, and his gifts have amounted already to more than $250." Such is the history of the beginning of the Samuel Huston college at Austin, Tex.—a school for negro youths. To-day 517 students live and study in a group of handsome buildings. Eleven years ago there was neither school nor scholars—only the land and the foundation walls. Lovinggood's ability and indomitable courage have wrought the change. It is a history of hardship. He has done even more than to build up a college. His successful solution of the race problem in the center of a cotton section larger than New England, where the colored population is more than a million, is printed on every letter and every bit Y O U N G negro went to Austin, Tex., in 1898 to start a college.

Probably no man em barking on such an enterprise in this country ever faced such depressing difficulties as he did. A salary of $500 a year had been promised to him, and when he and his wife came to the college building they found a bare, unfurnished structure. There was a roof over it and the four walls, but little else. Birds nestled in the rafters, pigs and goats—the characteristic fauna of suburban Austin—quarreled and rooted and butted and slept in the shelter of the still open basement. There was not a stick of furniture in the place. No heat, no light, no beds, no dishes, no chairs, even. To add to these material troubles 83 pupils appeared the first day—before the professor and his wife had had a chance to unlock their trunks. Of this number 41 came from out in the country. They had to be fed and lodged as well as taught. All these young negroes had been carried away by the announcement that had run from lip to lip all through that region that the college was going to open that day. The new college president's first day was a strenuous one. Probably no other head of a just born university ever saw the like. Some of the students brought small trunks on their shoulders. Others had their possessions in boxes and sacks. The president assembled them in one of the big bare rooms and gave them a brief PROPOSED INDUSTRIAL BUILDING half the population of the town are negroes, and in the country round about they outnumber the whites three to one. For nearly 30 years the colored people in Austin have struggled to establish this school. It is not named after the famous Sam Houston, that historic figure of the great southwest, but after Samuel Huston, a farmer of Marengo, Ia., who long ago gave $9,000 toward the establishment of this college. Six acres of land were purchased, the stone basement of one building was constructed. Then, as usually happens in such cases, the money gave out. This basement stood unfinished in the beating rain and hot sunshine for 16 years, while the colored people struggled to get more money together. The little group that had the school project close to their hearts begged day in and day out, and gathered in not dollars, or even dimes, but nickels and pennies from washerwomen, day laborers and farmers. There is hardly a negro in Austin and the vicinity who has not helped to build this college. In this way $12,000 was collected with infinite toll, and in 1898 the building that had been begun so many years ago that it was a scornful joke among the whites was inclosed. And so the struggle went on, year after year. Lovinggood taught by day and whenever he had a moment to spare during his waking hours used it in soliciting aid for his college. The white people took a greater and greater interest in the enterprise when they saw what he was accomplishing. One ex-confederate soldier gave $250. He said that anything that promoted peace and good will between the races was a blessing that ought to be encouraged and expanded. One building after another went up as soon as the first one had been finished. Teacher after teacher was engaged until now there are 17. More than 60 of the pupils have graduated in various professions and are hard at work in the world outside. Nearly $75,000 in all has been raised and spent in new buildings and improvements during the last ten years. There is the main building; Burrowes hall, which was finished and furnished at a cost of $15,000; a temporary boys' hall was put up for $800; the laundry building cost $1,200; a dormitory was arranged for $1,050; a fine sewer system was installed at a cost of $2,200; a fine brick boys' building has just been completed. It is lighted by electricity and heated with hot air. It cost $19,000. There are a printing outfit, scientific apparatus, a library of 3,090 volumes, five planos and an organ, a cooking range, 175 iron beds, eight acres of land for a vegetable garden and dairy. The college is absolutely out of debt, pecuniarily, after all this has been accomplished in a material way. The college now teaches the English branches. It furnishes its students with a college, a preparatory and a teachers' normal course. Printing and agriculture also are taught. On the domestic side instruction is given in plain sewing, millinery, professional dressmaking, cooking and housekeeping. Religious instruction is one of the features that runs through all the courses. The college is five blocks from the state capitol. "When the school was opened," says President Lovinggood, "some of the neighboring white people were much grieved, saying that the value of their property would be destroyed. Certain ones passing said ugly words, cut down the shrubbery, broke out the panes and threw ink bottles at the building. When I went out on my various of literature that his college sends out. It is this: "Strive always to treat others better than they treat you." That is the rule that every pupil has to try to live up to. Austin is the capital of Texas—a town of about 25,000. About errands, hurrying through the streets on my wheel, derisive shouts of 'A coon on a bike' used to greet me. "Something had to be done. We deliberated. Teachers and students were advised to speak no unkind word and to do no rash act. They were cautioned to be polite and kind to every one, white and black. Students were advised to give all the sidewalk, if necessary, when meeting any one on the street, if trouble could be avoided thereby. Every one was taught that there should be a constant appeal to that spirit of fairness, of friendship and good will which should and must exist between the races whom God has placed together in this country. In this crisis this motto was selected, and all were urged to try to live up to it: "Strive always to treat others better than they treat you.' For nine years this motto has occupied a place upon the front page of our catalogues; is upon every letter which goes out from the school. We started out to deserve good treatment and we succeeded. That is how we solved the much talked-of and most perplexing race problem." The result of this persistent system of minding their own business and being most forbearing under even trying circumstances was not long in becoming apparent. The quiet, respectful demeanor of the students first won the sympathy of the whites in the neighborhood. The colored boys who were working in the homes of whites, under the continual precept and example of the teachers in the college where they studied at night, grew honest, industrious and reliable. Little by little the best people in the town became interested in what was being done in the face of so many difficulties. Vandalism ceased. Now every one in Austin is proud of the colored college. The ablest and best white people are its warmest friends and supporters. As an evidence of the good business principles on which the college has been run, and which it has lived up to scrupulously in all its dealings, it is said that the credit of the institution stands so high among the merchants of the town that it practically is good for almost any amount. "We propose here that the negro shall be honest, industrious and altruistic," says this Booker Washington of the southwest. "We propose to do right. And if we do right, if we be honest, industrious, useful, patriotic citizens, pray tell me what then? Shall the righteous be forsaken and their seed beg bread? Shall we be denied the rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and all that these involve? My faith in the American people compels the statement that all will be well. A good white man and a good black man will get along well together. A correct solution of the race problem depends upon the development of good men and women of both races who will mete out to each other a 'square deal.' It is upon this conception of its proper solution that the efforts of Samuel Huston college to solve the race problem here are based." But this humble and little known Booker Washington of the southwest is not content with what he has accomplished already. No college president ever is, if he is made of the right stuff. His college is in the great Texas cotton belt, and there are a million negroes who need to be educated in one way or another, according to their capacities and their requirements. He does not contemplate educating them all at once, but he does desire to do as much as possible, for he argues that the perpetuity of the nation depends not on educating part of the people, but all of them—to send out more and more of his students as peacemakers. His next step is the establishment of an industrial building for boys. An industrial school for girls is, in operation already. Lovinggood says they have had to turn away about 800 city and country boys within the last few months—boys who wanted to learn some kind of a trade—because they had no facilities for teaching them. Judging by what he has been able to achieve in the past, there is little doubt he will succeed in this undertaking. When this building is completed and equipped only the fundamental and the simplest trades will be taught there, such as blacksmithing, carpentry, shoemaking, masonry, etc. Uses of Adder Fat In picturesque England of the past the adder hunter plied his trade in our woods and forests. The last of the adder hunters died a few years since. Mr. C. J. Cornish, in his book on the New forest, has given us an interesting picture of this worthy, who was known as "Brusher." "He was slung all over with bags of sacking, his pockets were stuffed with tins and boxes, and from his chest hung a pair of long steel forceps. In his hand he carried a light stick with a ferrule, in which he roused the snake, he put a short forked piece of hazel wood, and, darting it forward with unerring aim, planned the adder to the ground." "Brusher" derived a considerable revenue from the sale of "adder's fat," which was regarded by the inhabitants of the New forest as a veritable pharmacopoeia. It was believed to be a remedy for the bite of the snake, and, according to "Brusher" himself—his real name, by the way, was Mills—"sprains, black eyes, poisoning with brass, bites by rats and horses, rheumatic joints, and sore feet in men and dogs" could all be cured by the application of this unfalling unguent.

When one of the fenders of the City railway cars picked up a young heifer at the corner of Third and Jersey streets the conductor filled out the required report blank to Superintendent Edward Howell. In answer to the question: "What did the victim say?" the employee wrote: "She was carried along on the fender for a short distance, then rolled off and ran away without saying a word."—Dayton Columbus Dispatch. Tactless or Tactful? "Walters who hire out for parties ought to be trained for that," said one who has suffered.

After using laxative and cathartic medicines from childhood a case of chronic and apparently incurable constipation yielded to the scientific food, Grape-Nuts, in a few days. "From early childhood I suffered with such terrible constipation that I had to use laxatives continuously going from one drug to another and suffering more or less all the time. "A prominent physician whom I consulted told me the muscles of the digestive organs were partially paralyzed and could not perform their work without help of some kind, so I have tried at different times about every laxative and cathartic known, but found no help that was at all permanent. I had finally become discouraged and had given my case up as hopeless when I began to use the predigested food, Grape-Nuts. "Although I had not expected this food to help my trouble, to my great surprise Grape-Nuts digested immediately from the first and in a few days I was convinced that this was just what my system needed. "The bowels performed their functions regularly and I am now completely and permanently cured of this awful trouble. "Truly the power of scientific food must be unlimited." "There's a Reason."

ASSESSORS TO MEET AT DENVER WILL CONFER WITH THE STATE BOARD OF EQUALIZATION ON ASSESSMENTS. FOR HIGHER VALUATION MANY APPROPRIATIONS WILL FAIL UNLESS MORE REVENUE IS SECURED. Denver.—With the hint that unless county assessments are raised throughout the state none of the fourth or fifth class appropriations and many of the educational institution appropriations would not be paid, the State Board of Equalization Monday sent out a circular letter to all county assessors, requesting them to meet with the board in the House of Representatives at the Capitol at 10 o'clock in the morning of May 24. It is hoped by Gov. John F. Shafroth that the meeting will result in the state getting its full share of the 4-mill assessments for state purposes, as he claims that the assessors have pursued a retrogressive policy and that the time has come when the revenues of the state must be increased. Among the educational institutions mentioned in the letter as not likely to receive their special appropriations are the State Normal at Greeley, the Agricultural College at Fort Collins, the Deaf and Blind School at Colorado Springs, the State Normal at Gunnison and the School of Mines. Following is a copy of the call: "Dear Sir-By resolution of the State Board of Equalization, the assessors of the several counties of Colorado are cordially invited and requested to meet with the State Board of Equalization in the hall of the House of Representatives, Capitol building, Denver, at 10 o'clock in the forenoon of May 24, 1909. "The State of Colorado has so grown in population that constantly increasing demands are naturally being made for the expenditures necessary to properly maintain the educational, penal and other institutions which are positively essential to an orderly, efficient and progressive government. "These institutions have not been enabled to keep pace with the increased needs of the people, and official duty, as well as state pride, require harmony and unity of purpose among the public officers in the state, to the end that the government provided for by the people be made to serve the purposes commanded by the constitution. "The work of the county assessors and the State Board of Equalization are extremely important factors in its development, and both in the past have been severely criticised; it being contended that the laws of the state have not been obeyed in the performance of official duty. "It seems not only advisable, but necessary, that the assessors now holding such offices assemble for a joint conference, at which each may present his views and strive for a harmonious agreement whereby all may hereafter be better enabled to perform their duties in accordance with the demands and principles of good government. "The estimated revenues of the state are far short of the appropriations made by the Seventeenth General Assembly, not being sufficient to pay all the appropriations for the State University, the State Normal school at Greeley, the State Agricultural College at Fort Collins, the Deaf and Blind school at Colorado Springs, the State Normal school at Gunnison, and the School of Mines. If the present valuations for assessments are made, there will not be $1 for the payment of the fourth and fifth class appropriations. "In this spirit you are urged to attend. Your opinions and judgment are needed at this conference, and by representing them you will do your state a service. Very respectfully, "THE STATE BOARD OF EQUALIZATION, "By A. B. M'GAFFEY, "Secretary." School of Mines Program. Golden.—President Alderson of the School of Mines, has just completed the program for the thirty-fifth commencement exercises, to be held May 28th. The feature of the affair will be an address to the young engineers by John Hays Hammond, probably the most eminent mining engineer in the world. Mr. Hammond has not announced his subject. Thirty-nine young men, from all quarters of the globe, will receive degrees in mining or metallurgical engineers. Among the graduates is Kyosuke Iwai, a young Japanese, who was sent here by his government to become a mining engineer. William Bascom, the motorcyclist who ran down and killed Adelbert Kuhlman, a five-year-old boy at Cripple Creek, has been indicted on the charge of murder. The complaining witness is the boy's father. Bascom was released on a $1,000 bond. The Grand Junction City Council has approved the formal notice of election for charter convention delegates to be held June 8th, and nominations by petitions will now be received by the city clerk.

A movement is on foot to consolidate all of the commercial organizations in Pueblo. The plan is to have one great organization, with about 1,000 members, and to erect a magnificent building with club rooms. The Sterling Municipal Civic League observed cleaning up day May 10th, and the town was thoroughly renovated. The work was under the direction of President Mrs. C. B. Timberlake and Vice President Mrs. H. B. Davis. The State University at Boulder will graduate from all departments approximately 165 students June 9th. Only 147 were given diplomas last year. One degree of Doctor of Philosophy, nine degrees of M.A. and three of C.E., while two persons will take a Master's degree. H. T. West, J. Max Clark, Robert Steele, Ovid Plumb and B. D. Sanborn have taken action to continue the corporate life of Union colony at Greeley for twenty years, made possible by a law passed by the last Legislature. It is kept up to correct errors in deeds and for the purpose of keeping saloons out of Greeley. The F. E. Edbrooke Architect Company has submitted to the Board of Capitol Managers at Denver plans for a $100,000 museum, which will probably be erected in the civic center, about Fourteenth and Acoma, opposite the new public library. The new building is extremely artistic and will be a fitting companion piece to the library. J. D. CRACO Word was recently received at Fort Collins by Dr. George H. Glover, head of the veterinary department of Colorado Agricultural College, that the department would be given class A rating by the committee appointed to inspect all schools. This will put the college on a par with the best veterinalian institutions of the United States. The Greeley Commercial Club will ask $10 from each of the big ditch and reservoir companies of Weld county to help create a fund to push a bill in the next Legislature to enlarge the forest reserves at the head of the streams in Colorado, for the benefit of irrigation. The action was taken following an address by Directors Davis and Weld of the Longmont Commercial Club. Edwin A. Brown, a wealthy Denver man, who is interested in the establishment of municipal lodging houses, visited Pueblo, represented himself as a poor man out of work and was courteously received at the "bull-pen" and given a night's lodging in what he afterward described to Mayor Fugard as the most damnable place he had ever seen outside of Mexican prisons. He believes that the Mayor will be successful in securing a municipal lodging house. The largest individual bond, as well as ones of the most unusual ever filed in the County Court at Colorado Springs, has been recorded by George Foster Peabody, Chase Mellen and George A. Krause, all of New York, executors of the Palmer estate. The total bond is for $6,400,000, or double the value of the estate as estimated by the executors, although the estate will probably show values of more than $5,000,000 when the inventory is filed. Denver parties have leased the Jackson Lake reservoir, east of Greeley, for $500 a year for the fishing privilege. A seine 3,000 feet long is drawn out by four horses and the catch often being over three tons of fish. The lessees get the carp and suckers weighing more than two pounds. Trout, bass, etc., must be returned to the reservoir. The captured fish are shipped alive in big tanks to Denver where they are placed in artificial ponds and sold. A Laramie, Wyo., dispatch of the 11th inst. says: Field work on the Walden extension of the Laramie, Hahn's Peak & Pacific Railway was resumed today, when A. J. Weston and a party of surveyors went to Albany, the present terminus, to complete the survey for the line to Walden, Colo., about 110 miles from Laramie. The road is operated to Albany, and is projected to Hebron, Colo., to tap immense coal beds owned by the Northern Colorado Coal Company. Mrs. Sarah Morley, who settled in Greeley in 1872, celebrated her eighty-sixth birthday at Greeley on the 12th inst. She was the daughter of Judge Benjamin Raymond of Norfolk, N. Y., and the youngest of nine children, five of whom lived to be over eighty. In 1836 she went to Chicago to make her home with Hon. B. W. Raymond, her oldest brother, who with Governor Evans of Colorado founded the towns of Evanston and Elgin, Ill. The brother was also mayor of Chicago several terms. The first "grandchild" in the herd of buffalo in the City Park at Denver, was born a few days since. The little fellow is a bull and has been the center of interest ever since his arrival. Its mother was born in the park and is three years old. The sire is one of the Pablo Alta herd from the Flathead reservation in Montana. The Denver & Rio Grande has put into service four new observation cars, built in the Pullman observation shops at a cost of $30,000 each. The cars are of superior type of construction and will be operated on the through trains between Denver and Ogden. DID YOU EVER TRY Neef Bros.' Beer? It's made right, and tastes right.

Good Block-1557 Larimer St Residence 2230 Clarkson St The Duties of the Prosecuting Attorney By JOHN F. GEETING, Editor. EVERAL years ago T liad a very pleasant meeting with that eminent jurist, the late Solon S. Calhoon, of the supreme court of Mississippi, In the course of our conversation the subject of argu- ment of counsel was touched upon, and Judge Calhoon re- marked, that when, in his earlier days, he was a prosecuting attorney, that he always considered himself as much the coun- sel for the defendant as for the state. This sentiment should find lodgment in the minds of-all public prosecutors; for as their duty consis in the attainine of fuatice th fac ceul) pertormed in favoring the acquittal of the imnocent man on trial, as in obtaining the conviction of a guilty man; for in either case justice is at- tained. ‘Too many follow the erroncous, but popular, notion, that their duty is to prosecute all cases coming within their charge with their utmost efforts toward a convietion, and, that all matters and testimony tending toward sustaining the defense, musi either be brought out by the defend- ant’s counsel, or be lost to the ease. ‘The publie prosecutor generally as- sumes that he is sole representative of the people who has the right to demand a conviction, or a certain kind of a conviction. This assumption is unfounded in law. ‘True, he is the representative of the people in in- vestigating the matter, in instituting and conducting the prosecution and in presenting the testimony to the jury in a proper form at the trial. In argument, he may draw his conclusions as to the testimony; but the jurors themselves are the people, and in that capacity occupy a higher and more important place than the prosecuting attorney. In theory of law, a criminal case is a trial by and before the people, but as it is im- practicable for all of the people of the local jurisdiction to attend and participate in each criminal ease, and pass upon it, the law provides for the careful selection of 12 good and impartial men, who when selected and sworn, are in contemplation of the law the people themselves, while the prosecuting attornev is simply the servant of the neo- ple, to bring before the jury for its impar- tial consideration the facts of the case. In so doing he should present all of the relevant facts, whether they indicate guilt or innocenee, and in his argu- ment endeavor to draw correct conclusions from the evidence, whether such conclusions favor an acquit- tal or a conviction. His position may at times be a trying one, especially when he is met by a re- sourceful and aggressive defender, ut he should re- member that his is a place of duty, and not one of personal display or partisanship, and, that neither the activity of opposing counsel, nor public applause, should prompt him to depart from duty’s plain path. “When you don’t know don’t pretend to know,” was the favorite maxim of an elder- ly friend of mine, and she usually followed it up with “Ignorance is no disgrace, but pretended knowledge is hypocrisy—and hy- poerisy is disgraceful.” A little over-vig- orous, perhaps, but true enough in its es- senee. Of course when you are very young yua hate to appear ignorant of a subject which seems perfectly familiar to those about you, but if you are wise you will acknowledge your ignorance rather than pretend to be ntemneatouhisieithe casiesy thinenl tie world to be found out in such pretense. The worst of it is, the person who perceives your foolish blunder is usually kind-hearted enough to say nothing to you about it, but lets you go on your way with your conceit un- wounded. Meanwhile, however, the observer has his own opinion of your behavior and it is not a flattering one. Some years ago, when Burne-Jones’ celebrated painting was being exhibited in this country, three girls were talking together, when one of them asked the others: “Have you seen “Ihe Vampire?’” One of the girls, who understood the question replied, simply, “No,” but the third, a fluffy little rattle-pate who wanted to appear very up-to-date in every- thing, said, smartly: “I haven't either—really I haven’t been to the thea- ter for weeks—but I mean to see “fhe Vampire’ the very next matinee I go to.” Well, the other two girls exchanged expressive glances and let it go at that and Miss Fluffy trotted away complacently, never dreaming what a “show” she had succeeded in making of herself. ‘To pretend to know people whom one does not know and to pretend to go to places where one was never invited, seems the very height of silli- ness—but lots of women do it and most of them are women who ought to be so far above that sort of thing that it would never enter their heads. Genuineness and sincerity are delightful virtues. The old Latin mar- ble cutters had a trick of filling up flaws in their marble with wax, and to protect themselves, the more honest cutters marked their blocks “sine cera”—without wax. And from this comes the word sincere. Pretended knowledge is just that form of insincerity which most hurts the character of the pretender—and what good can it be since the world does not measure you for what you know, nor do you win friends by wisdom only. Don’t pretend—it’s right for the children in their play, but it is woefully ridiculous in a grown-up, Woman’s suffrage is for the first time a live issue, and this fact is really due to the enthusiastic movement in England. The militant suffragette has advanced the cause more in one-half year than the old-time polite methods have done in 50 years. * Abstract principles do not appeal to the average mind. Women have to feel the touch of injustice before becoming acting suffragists. The ordinary woman is too comfort- able to become interested, and the business woman is too busy. But she will soon ser in the field of business the right of the on. = 4 5 _ 7 F e740 STATESMAN | LAELOLU RADG\ 97% STATESMAN | one LO | Nero = ae? patel ree ae Al + BD Gas oh pee TE Aa aE ie EE Sess a= Co NA CARR a AN br Ah SE oR See ee BOB DID) REVERE or cetee yn sense onder eeuecigsr-veveas~s Proprleton 1824 Curtis Street, Room 26.

THE WHITE SOLDIERS have but a few more months to remain | at Fort Logan, and they seem to be doing their best to make the people cf Denver weleome the coming of their successors, the Colored boys of the Twenty-fifth Infantry. The murderous assault committed by a soldier-prisoner a few days ago upon his guard, and his desperate escape from the Fort, was never equaled by any ineident among the Colored soldiers. The annoying offenses which some of the white soldiers have com- mitted in the city make it doubly sure that the Colored men will have an easy task proving better conduct. Acts like these speak louder than petitions to the War Department. A MESSAGE FROM MARS THE LEGISLATURE of Florida has seriously considered and passed a resolution to submit to the voters of the state a proposition to so amend the State Constitution as to limit the right of franchise to ‘‘white male citizens of the age of twenty-one years and over.”? The prime object of the resolution is to test the validity of the Fifteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution, it being claimed by some that said amendment was never legally ratified by three-fourths of the states of the Union, some of which, at the time of the adoption of the amend- ment, were not permitted to vote upon it, and were held to be. disquali- tied by reason of their acts of secession. Florida is undertaking to revive the question decided a half century ago by this open defiance of the accepted law of the present day. This country is so large and some sections of it seem to be so re- mote from the central region of thought-waves, that it takes fifty years for the full foree of fast fleeting events to penetrate the dense intel- lectual atmosphere reaching to their outermost borders. Light travels ‘several thousand miles a second, but rays emanating from Washington require a full generation to reach the boundaries of Jacksonville; so one, with paper arid pencil, may compute the distance from the settled portions of our dominions to the borders of that commonwealth over which Governor Broward presides. Surely it is great. Mississippi and Georgia shine resplendently within a more contiguous zone, with but the clouds of a grandfather, educational and property qualification clauses to mar their telescopie view, but Florida glories in the reputa- tion of being one of the dark stars in the political firmament, The flashlight of President Taft’s inaugural address must have been the means of bringing her within the scope of our federated vision, and she at once begins to signal her knowledge of the issues which the scientific statesmen of other sections thought dead and forgotten. How far back the country will have to go to get in touch with the Florida idea can seareely be imagined. Back over the years of tranquil development into the long era of civil adjustment, and thence back into the night of reconstruction, to the vapory borders of emancipation. ‘The operation would require more ether than the world could supply, unless Florida has on tap a seeret well whose limitless supply is sufficient to hypno- tize all civilization. The Florida brand of statesmanship seems war- ranted to make the thickest Negro skull ache. RULING BY WRATH. IID, the Monareh who has rule hose rule has been one long Reij and is destined to spend his ri down and disgraced prisoner of wers of the earth there is not a ples there may be conditions equ made Turkey a country of hor ABDUL HAMID, the Monareh who has ruled Turkey for thirty- three years and whose rule has been one long Reign of Terror, has at Jast been deposed, and is destined to spend his remaining years as a disearded, broken-down and disgraced prisoner of the nation. Among all the civilized powers of the earth there is not a ease parallel to his. Among savage peoples there may be conditions equalling or surpassing those which have made Turkey a country of horrors, but with these the world at large is not familiar, and even they, in their turn, lead to inevitable tribal ruin. ‘The violent character of the authority which rulers exercise over their subjects, whether as monarchs of absolute or limited powers or as periodically chosen administrators over a free and independent. elee- torate, creates an influence in the lives of the people governed which is hound to find expression in the increased savagery of the national or tribal nature or Jead to such violent revolution as will cause the final overthrow and destruction of the intolerable conditions and the debase- ment or death of the rulers responsible for those conditions. The best governed nations are those whose rulers are the most hu- mane, the most wise and kind. ‘The few seattered attempts of black men to conduct civil govern- ments, and the unsteady and insecure administrations of ‘government affairs which the world has seen, have partaken of a large degree of failure beeause there*has been too great an exereise of that untutored quality which may be deseribed as wrathful authority. It is a quality bred and nursed in savagery, and is seen reflected in individuals of strong wills, who have come least in touch with the broadening and softening influences of civilization. Who has not heard the Negro parent yelling with brutal authority at his or her children? "They inject the element of brutal fear and create the lust for brutal revenge in the heart and nature of the child, and these characteristics grow smd combine into the savage emulation of the parents’ traits. The exercise of rough and savage authority over children makes bad children and tends to weaken any race and make it less progressive and less pow- erful. If the Negro would learn to be a ruler of men, in the adminis- trative and governmental sense, he must practise the art upon his own children, and out of demonstrations of quiet foree and wise and self controlled authority, see them grow up into men and women with great er respect, greater love and stronger, deeper fealty for every root and branch of the family tree. — Public Agents a Don’t Pretend You Know By Sophie K.

The doctor said I would have to go to the hospital for an operation, but I could not bear to think of it. I decided to try Lydia E.

DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS FOR ALL KIDNEY DISEASES FOR RHEUMATISM BRIGHT'S DISEASE DIABETES, BACKACHE HER 375 "Guaranteed" GRAIN GROWERS TO HOLD WHEAT CHAIN OF WAREHOUSES PLANNED FOR GRAIN PRODUCING SECTIONS. WANT COTTON TWINE CONVENTION CALLED BY FARMERS' UNION TO PROMOTE COLLECTIVE MARKETING. Springfield, Mo. — At the second day's session of the National Grain Growers and Cattle Raisers here Thursday a plan to construct a chain of warehouses in grain producing territory for the purpose of holding wheat for high prices was indorsed. At the invitation of the American Society of Equity the farmers promised to co-operate with that organization. One resolution adopted urges the use of cotton in the manufacture of fine, rope sacks and other articles of common use. It was stated in the meeting that 6,000,000 more bales of cotton would be consumed if manufacturers would use the cotton of the South instead of importing jute from the Philippine islands. D. J. Neill of Fort Worth, Texas, president of the Texas State union, called attention to stock manipulation. He warned farmers to prepare for aggressive action against greedy wheat operators of Chicago and New York. The sessions of the union are secret and an attempt is being made to keep discussions and their work from the public. Theodore G. Nelson, national organizer for the Equity Society, addressed the meeting saving: "The object sought by the members of the grain growers' department this year is much the same as the purpose for which this convention has been called by the Farmers' union. By collective marketing the members of the society will sell their grain to the millers and export product will be sold direct to the English and Scottish wholesale co-operative societies of Great Britain. In this way we will pass crops by the speculator and be our own middleman. "By getting for themselves profits which now go to the speculator and the middlemen, the grain growers will, no matter whether the price be high or low, get a greater income from the sale of their crops, without corresponding increases in cost of bread to the consumers." Resolutions reported this afternoon urge opposition to legislation which aims to control railroad rates by ignoring states' rights in the matter. Efforts of congressmen to secure appropriations for agricultural schools are also indorsed. Doctor Dies Suddenly. Denver. While sitting at the banquet of the graduating class of the College of Physicians and Surgeons, in the palm room of the Brown Palace hotel Thursday night, Dr. J. B Kinley, dean of the college, was stricken with apop.exy and died before medical aid could reach him. The graduating class of the college was given a banquet by the faculty at which Dr. Kinley was present, with his wife. There were some fifty students and faculty members seated about the tables. The first annual banquet of the College of Physicians and Surgeons was given Thursday night. The young school has struggled through a successful first year, due largely to the untiring efforts of Dr. Kinley himself. In the palm room of the hotel there were speeches prophesying the future glory of the college. Dr. Kinley was taking a keen interest in the entire program. He was laughing and joking with friends near him and was apparently in the best of humor. Suddenly he turned and half arose from his chair, then sank back again. A dozen men sprang to their feet to assist the doctor. Dr. Kinley complained of feeling faint and asked for a glass of water. It was about to be placed to his lips when he died. Mrs. Kinley, nearly fainting for a second, bore up bravely under the ordeal. She was assisted home. The Kinley residence is at 1212 Columbine street. Dr. Kinley is survived by his wife and two daughters, Margaret, aged fifteen, and Josephine, aged twelve. Dr. Kinley has for years been practicing with Dr. Elizabeth Cassidy, with offices at 1440 Glenarm street. Dr. Kinley was fifty years of age and has been in Denver for the past quarter of a century. He was a trustee of the Capitol Hill Methodist Church and a Mason of high standing. Wright Flying Machine Company Berlin.—The Wright Flying Machine Company, limited, has been organized here, with a capital of $125,000. It will construct and operate aeroplanes on the Wright system. The Wright brothers place at the disposal of the company all the results of their experience and the rights, whether patented or not, for the German empire and its colonies and protectorates, as well as for Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Luxemburg and Turkey. The arrangements cover a period of fifteen years. AN INTERESTING PAINT TEST There is a very simple and interesting chemical test by which to detect impurity in paint materials. Thousands and thousands of people, all over the country, are making this test. It is a sure way to safeguard against the many adulterated white leads which are on the market. Any one can make the test—all that is needed is a simple little instrument which may be had free by writing National Load Company, 1902 Trinity Building, New York, and asking for Houseowner's Painting Outfit No. 49. The outfit includes also a set of color schemes for exterior or interior painting, or both, if you wish, and a book of specifications. No houseowner should make any arrangements for painting till he gets this outfit. One can't expect a satisfactory painting job without pure white lead. There is a way to make sure you're getting a pure white lead—without testing it. See that the keg bears National Lead Company's famous Dutch Boy Painter trademark, which is a positive guarantee of purity. Your dealer probably has this white lead. If not let National Lead Company know. VARIETY. Hewitt—I've been pinched for money lately. Jewitt—Well, women have different ways of getting it. My wife kisses me when she wants any. ECZEMA COVERED HIM. Itching Torture Was Beyond Words— Slept Only from Sheer Exhaustion —Relieved in 24 Hours and Cured by Cuticura in a Month. "I am seventy-seven years old, and some years ago I was taken with eczema from head to foot. I was sick for six months and what I suffered tongue could not tell. I could not sleep day or night because of that dreadful itching; when I did sleep it was from sheer exhaustion. I was one mass of irritation; it was even in my scalp. The doctor's medicine seemed to make me worse and I was almost out of my mind. I got a set of the Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Resolvent. I used them persistently for twenty-four hours. That night I slept like an infant, the first solid night's sleep I had for six months. In a month I was cured. W. Harrison Smith, Mt. Kisco, N. Y., Feb. 3, 1908." Potter Drug & Chem.
