A VISIT TO THE FIRE AND POLICE BOARD. SOME BAD ELEMENT. DUTY OF THE BEST NEGRO. VOL. XV. CHRISTIAN THE WORK OF THE CHURCH AND POLICE BOARD. DUTY OF THE ANOTHER PROBLEM. Sometime ago in speaking of the much-discussed Negro problem, we took occasion to remark that the race problem was a series of problems, one over-lapping the other, and not a single problem. Each of these various problems must be worked out before the attainment of the final result is possible. Every student of any knowledge admits that we are a great people, possessing extraordinary recouping powers. Greater development will come as we are prepared to deal with all the various phases of a growing people. It is always dangerous to discuss religious matters but there are times when such things cannot honestly be avoided. Our people have much religious zeal and plenty of Christianity. It was the dominant element in their simple character when released from the hell of slavery. Those ante-bellum conditions were such that a crude religious conception was the solace of the tortured Negro. But such conditions have long since passed away. The generation of those who came out of the valley of humiliation are fast finding a rest beyond. They have not been an idle, useless people. All the years that the present generation were being prepared for active life in our schools and colleges the old-fashioned Negro was evolving out of the religious instinct of the human great religious organizations for the moral uplift of the race. These organizations have grown strong. They have built splendid church edifices wherever two or three Negroes have gathered together. They have increased in wealth until many millions represent the accumulated wealth of our churches. This phase of our problem is bearing fruit. And with the first bearing comes the work. There is a serious problem for the Christian worker in our race. Where one reads the grand totals of our denominations, it would seem that the criminal and immoral Negro exists only in the lurid imagination of the frenzied writers for yellow journals. But what are you going to do with the criminal Negro? THE CRIMINAL NEGRO. What's to be done for the criminal Negro? What extra effort will our churches make? This is a problem for the Christian worker. With a view of finding out something about the feeling of the executive department of our city touching the criminal Negro, our representative visited the Fire and Police Board. This is one of the most important of our municipal boards and is composed of the following gentlemen: Wm. T. Davoren, Earl Hewitt, D. A. Barton, and Hamilton Armstrong, chief of of police. We were most cordially received and every effort was made to impress upon us that in dealing with the criminal Negro the entire police department was uninfluenced by color prejudice. The Negro had not reached the point where he was a vicious criminal. He was a petty thief, a chronic gambler, and seemed through idleness to be rapidly drifting into the vicious element. There seemed to be an apathy among the better class of Negroes as to what their duty toward this class is. There seemed to be no discrimination, no standard of manhood and womanhood, no nothing; all was a mass and jumble. At our balls, pienes, and in many instances in our private homes, these criminal and immoral classes came and were received. In this way the petty thief, gambler and developing thug is protected by his people. The Negroes must come forward and aid in the work of suppressing vice. There are entirely too many idle boys and girls on the streets of Denver. They fill the so-called clubs and assume all the airs of a swaggering sport. They are not even tinhorns. They are but a menace, and an impediment to the progress of the race in Denver. Not a word of condemnation comes from your pulpits. These boys and girls, idle and noisy, must be kept off the street. It's not a question of color. Its merely an enforcement of the law. The board will expect and insist on obeying the law. This is the substance of our interview. OBEY THE LAW. This is the demand of the Board. In its full execution will they have our hearty support? Will the better class of our citizens help us to back up the demands of the Board? The demands are fair and just and if carried out will make us a better city, a better and more pros- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JULY 24, 1909.

These men do not go out into the highway for their victims. Men and boys og to these place of their own free will, and there they lose money needed for the support and maintenance of families. Then, too, in and about such places, or loafing idly on our streets, will be found our brightest boys, who, if they obeyed the law would soon develop into our brightest men. How much better it would be if our churches could induce these men and boys to at least spend Sunday doing something besides gambling. Let all of us obey the law. The great fruit farms of the Grand valley are calling for help to harvest the greatest fruit crops in the history of Colorado. The same is true of the beet fields. Many thousands of dollars will be paid to the harvesters. Let our people who have idle boys and girls in town send them to the fruit fields. It will be good for them and may help to reduce the number of criminal Negroes. Let us obey the law. DR. WASHINGTON'S RECENT TRIP THROUGH POR TIONS OF VIRGINIA Special to the Colorado Statesman. A gentleman who accompanied Dr. Booker T. Washington during his recent trip over the Virginian railway recites the following incidents as being significant and remarkable in connection with his trip: In the first place it may interest the public to know that a special train was used during the whole of this trip, and that the private car used by Dr. Washington and the party was the "Rocket," the same car former President Roosevelt used on most of his tours throughout the country. At one point, where a large meeting was held, a great-grandson of Patrick Henry was brought to the station by his parents for the special purpose of having Dr. Washington shake his hand. The parents seemed to find much delight in having the privilege of doing so. At several points where the train stopped not only were the houses of the colored people decorated with flags, but many residences of white people also. Another thing that was noticeable in connection with the trip was the large attendance of white people at all of the meetings. At several places the attendance of white people was as large or larger than that of the Negro people. At Christiansburg former Governor Tyler and a party of friends rode fifteen miles to be present at the meeting. At Suffolk, Va., not only did the mayor ride with Dr. Washington through the streets of the city in his automobile, but the city council also followed in another automobile throughout the entire parade which had been arranged. The attendance of the best class of white women at the meetings was also especially noticeable and satisfactory. One other thing of importance: At every point the colored merchant was in evidence, and it was interesting to see how the white people consider the news of the colored business men in matters of mutual importance. At one point in Virginia, at Kenbridge, the leading white man of the town remarked to Dr. Washington that Negroes had money invested in nearly every business enterprise in the community, and that the white people make it a point to get colored people to invest in every enterprise which the white people have established, thereby creating a community of interest. Paris, July 10.—A young Negro has just been admitted to the Paris bar. He rejoices in the name of Hector Apollinaire Molaire Liber, is 24 years of age, was at school at the Lycee Carnot, in Guadelope, and studied law at Bordeaux, where he got his diploma. He does not intend to remain very long in Paris, as his ambition is to obtain a post of magistrate in one of the colonies. Jefferson City, Mo., July 11. Mrs. Josephine Silome Yates, at a recent meeting of the Board of Regents of Lincoln Institute, received the promotion, or mark of distinction, of being made 'Adviser of Women,' in connection with the Chair of English, which she very successfully has occupied for the last seven years. The Cole County Democrat, a leading Jefferson City daily, makes this comment: "Mrs. Yates is considered one of the best English teachers in the State." If the predictions of C. Wesley Brown of Makeneng, Basutoland, South Africa, are realized, the black natives of that country will soon boast of a thirty-mile electric railway by November. The road, including the cost of construction rolling stock, will cost about $100,000. Mr. Brown was in New York City he first part of the week, and left Tuesday for London. While in the United States he visited relatives in Kansas and Colorado. He is acting as representative for his government in the purchase of material for the construction of the road, and will make all his purchases in England. It is likely he will remain in London for two months. (From New York Age:) It is with great pleasure that I notice the decided change in the Age so far as relates to its contents, Academic effusions are given place to news, real news, news of what the individuals of the race are doing. Whenever any one buys property, builds a house starts a business enterprise, or makes a hit of any sort, the telling of it to the race at large is to encourage some other individual of the race. News, news, that is what we need. In Jacksonville, Ill., there is a girl struggling through the high school who writes for a certain paper who one day is sure to be famous in the world of journalism. Her present efforts are crude, but she tells the news of her burg from A to Z. Such correspondents are what race papers need. I seldom wirte news articles but I know their value. If I were publishing a paper, I would seek newsy writers. I would want writers who would tell who bought who sold, who tried to do, who is doing; I would want to publish the activities of the race. Writers who can simply pick flaws and write about failures could have no space in any paper of mine. The Negro is the most active and energetic and enterprising citizen of America, and the news, minor or major, of his doings is an incentive to his fellows, and the newspapers of the race that are able to gather and spread such news are a doctor with a hypodermic syringe at the needed time. There is too much spatting between editors, too much bickering between men of prominence, too much mere selfish ambition for personal notice and honors; while on the other hand, what is needed is more sincere and earnest desire to initiate good ideas and to push the propoganda. There are some racial faults that must be corrected and that, too, quickly. The average Negro is quick to get the "big head." That lack of strength of character is often his undoing. Bishop Lampton as a plain Negro citizen got on all right in his Southern home. It was only wnen he got the 'the head' that trouble came upon him, but it came, plenty and fast. If a Negro has a few dollars ahead and has honor among his own people, it is foolish to make a parade. A white hod carrier in any part of the world at this present time would not exchange places with the most exaulted Negro. But he would join with the best citizens in relating a Negro who makes big pretentions or show. Every Negro should recognize the fact that the white man does not regard him as an equal, and when the Negro becomes the equal NO. 45 or the superior of some particular white man or class of white men, he should try to cultivate enough strength of character to not make a parade. If the race could simply go on making the wonderful progress that it is making and still be modest and quiet, before any one would know it, the race would be able to step out and make a demand. But it is not to be expected that all of this will come quickley. Stanley offered a great African chief the choice of several presents, shoes, pants, shirts, etc., or beads and a plug hat. The savage knew nothing but utility, but did have the instinct of ornamentation and took the plug hat and beads and went strutting around in savage splendor, nude but for ornaments. The same instincts show over here, and the "D. D." without the education, the banquet without the reason, sysophantic puffs unjustified by fact are all reminders of the erstwhile African savagery. The thing to do is for the Negro to get into the motive and spirit of Americanism and stop his blowing and swelling and parading and become simply a citizen. There is many a big Negro who has had to go from a banquet table to a jim crow car. Now what self-respecting man wants to make a lord of a fellow who afterwards has to hike away in a jim crow car? Let that conceived subject of flattery win his way to a place with other men before he accepts banquests. The rough-handed, clear-eyed study Negro who makes his way by rugged toil is the superior of lots of the pampered and fat Moguls who revel because of the foolishness of the poor and the deluded who pamper them. Were some of these Moguls forced to earn the money they spend they could not find a good job even as whitewashers. The Negro is a Negro no matter where he is. Let him make the name honorable and let him seek to measure up to an honorable place among the men of the world and not skulk off like a coward in evasion of the great questions affecting his people and strut in seclusion among them and then go forth to be a jim crow among white people.

'TWIXT THEORY AND CONDITION Where the Gifted Playwright Is Confronted with Circumstances He Cannot Control. Consider the apprentice playwright's vision of his work. He has dreamed a dream and the people of that dream tread out their drama before his mind's eye, all flawless, perfect, just as he made them. He sees them as real people, not as actors. The scenes by moonlight are moonlight indeed to him; he can smell the roses in the garden where his heroine walks, but, sadly enough, this illusion of reality, which continues for a little while after the conclusion of his writing, is apt to be the greatest reward his work will bring him. When the play is staged and he finds that the harvest moon for his moonlight love scene must be discarded because the moon-machine is creaky and there is danger that the audience may hear the moon go up, when the heroine whom he pictured to himself with "elf-gold hair" must play her part as a brunette because elf-gold wigs do not suit her, and when his "pathetic father" has been given to a comedian who "gets a laugh" upon all of his heart-rending speeches, then it is that the playwright begins to comprehend the difference between "the dream and the business."—Booth Tarkington in Collier's. Up-to-Date. "It is a wonderful story," says the publisher to the new editor, whose manuscript had just been accepted, "but you have failed on one important feature. You do not describe the way the heroine was dressed when the hero first met her. You'd better write in a paragraph about her clothes, but try to avoid the conventional." The ingenious author, knowing the sameness of costume descriptions in the best sellers, and also knowing how to make an appeal to the feminine heart, wrote: "Heloise floated toward him garbed in a $600 dress, a $250 hat, with a $98.75 mantilla over a $375 lace coat." —Chicago Post. Saw Battle in Crowds. England's airship invasion scare has recalled to a writer in the London Chronicle an aerial specter which appeared long before the flying machine had shown any signs of flying. At Christmas time, 1642, the people of Keniton, in Northamptonshire, were alarmed by the apparition of the real combat which had recently taken place at Edgehill. This ghostly fight was said to have been fought several nights and witnessed not only by the yokels, but even by special representatives of the king, who recognized among the fighters many of their friends who had perished.

GULF COAST RAVAGED MANY TOWNS ENDANGERED AND MUCH DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY. Galveston.—Fortified behind her seventeen-foot sea wall and elevated to a point above the danger line, Galveston Wednesday passed safely through a hurricane which resembled in intensity the disastrous storm of 1900. Part of the island upon which the city is situated was again inundated, the overflowing sea water reaching a height of seven or more feet. That portion of the island which has been protected suffered comparatively little harm. No lives were lost in the immediate vicinity and the property damage will not be large. Sweeping westward, the tropical storm, which had been central over the Gulf for twenty-four hours or more, struck Galveston shortly after eleven o'clock. The wind attained a velocity of sixty-eight miles an hour, heaved the waters of Galveston Bay up against the island and flooded that section which had not been raised. The water backed up into the main streets. The principal damage was confined to the beach front, where bath houses and pleasure pliers were swept away, but shipping was undisturbed. A hurricane for east Texas was forecasted early in the day, and when the storm broke Galveston was prepared. The inhabitants of the few scattered houses in the low section sought safety, and the vessels were riding at anchor in the bay. The fury of the storm was soon abated, and the anxiety of those who entertained fears of another tidal wave thus early relieved. So short was its duration that the Mallory line steamer booked to sail for New York shortly after noon left on time. A heavy dredge had been blown against the single bridge which connects Galveston Island with the mainland and the telegraph cables had parted. As a result all manner of rumors were soon rife throughout the country to the effect that Galveston had again suffered such a storm as that which practically destroyed the city nine years ago. Men were put at work at once repairing the bridge and laying new cables. Few buildings were blown down, but it is believed many warehouses were flooded and that goods on the bottom floors of these buildings were ruined. Consequently it will require several days to ascertain the amount of damage. The storm covered a wide area along the Gulf coast. One fishing pier seven miles from the city was demolished by the wind and waves. Thirty or forty people were rescued by the pilot boat Texas and brought to Galveston. As a result of the damage to the single bridge which connects Galveston with the mainland, and over which all the trains entering or leaving the city are forced to cross, communication by rail with Galveston has been cut off. Tugboats are carrying passengers, mail and freight across the bay to Galveston. Ten people were drowned in the water that swept over a portion of Tarpon pier, seven miles from the city. They were washed from the rocky promontories into the Gulf and the bodies have not been recovered. It is reported that there has been considerable loss of life at Palacos and Blessing. It is also said Bay City suffered greatly from the hurricane. To Unite Mine Workers. Denver.—The convention of the Western Federation of Miners by a practically unanimous vote Wednesday decided to call a convention to bring about an affiliation between the Federation and the United Mine Workers of America. The action was taken at the suggestion of the Globe Miners' Union of Globe, Arizona, for "a constitution under which the workers in the mining (coal, metalliferous and correlative) industry can unite for common defense and other purposes." It is intended to include mills, smelters, etc. Taft Will Open Tunnel. Washington.—President Taft advised Senator Guggenheim Wednesday that he expected to reach Colorado on his proposed western trip about September 20 or 21. He told the senator that he would attend the opening of the Gunnison tunnel irrigation project, but could not say at this time what other functions he could attend. Presidents to Exchange Visits. Washington. Instead of shaking hands across a painted boundary on the bridge at El Paso next September, President Taft and President Diaz will exchange visits, the former crossing into Mexico and the latter setting foot on the soil of the United States. The State Department is making arrangements for the meeting. It will take place during President Taft's western trip, some time after September 13. Diaz will require the permission of the Mexican Congress. COLORADO NEWS COLORADO NEWS The annual convention of the State Federation of Labor will be held at Lafayette, beginning August 9th.

Rev, W. G. Hawkins, known as the oldest clergyman in the Episcopal church, died on the 18th inst. at Mercy hospital in Denver after a long illness. He was 87 years old and was one of the most prominent figures in the church, having filled a number of important charges and preached for sixty years. He was retired ten years ago and went to live with his daughter, Mrs. Frank Smith of Paonia, Colo. In an interview at Chicago ex-Governor Buchtel, who was credited with an interview denouncing woman suffrage, denied that he had made any such statements. "I stated that some of the best people I know are very indifferent to the exercise of the franchise," he said. "Nothing that I said could be made to convey the idea that only the dregs of womankind vote. That's not true." On the afternoon of the 20th inst. there was a heavy cloudburst in Green canon, thirty miles north of Trinidad, causing a flood which swept away a portion of the tramway trestle leading to the mine of the Green Canon Coal Company and partially flooding the mine, causing suspension of operations. A number of houses were flooded and there was considerable damage done to furniture. Horace Havens of Leadville, former deputy secretary of state and three times candidate for the secretaryship on the Democratic ticket, has been appointed as the mineral inspector of the State Land Board, the appointment having been made as a result of the expiration of the term of Dr. A.

P. and Charlotte Snider, all of Manitou, and Charles E. Snider of Denver, was killed in Los Angeles, Cal., on the 16th inst., by Albert Ryan of Arizona, who was shooting at Otto Miller, a hotel porter. Mr. Snider was one of the owners of the famous Cave of the Winds in Manitou, forty years old, and unmarried. He lived in Manitou ten years prior to 1891 and was wealthy. Representative Taylor has secured the adoption by the house of an amendment to the emergency appropriation bill to pay W. H. Clark and A. H. Adams of Meeker, $5,500 for surveying ten townships of lands in Routt county for the government in 1904. The original contractor, William C. O'Brien, failed to make the survey, which was sublet by his bondsmen to Clark and Adams, local engineers. They completed the survey, but through the delay caused by O'Brien's failure, the funds provided lapsed into the treasury and legislation was required to again provide funds to pay for the work. Robert Ferrari, nephew of Cardinal Ferrari of Rome, and Father Charles Ferrari, the well-known Denver Catholic priest and brother-in-law of Joseph Cuneo, the former Italian consul in Denver, has been naturalized as an American citizen by District Judge Shattuck at Denver.

DOINGS AT THE CAPITAL Congressmen Victims of Bunco Game Senate Puzzled Over Roosevelt Busts School of Instruction for Diplomats WASHINGTON.—A novel and gruesome scheme for forcing statesmen to part with their money has just been discovered in Washington, with the result that congressmen are laughing heartily at the recent experience of Representatives Murdock of Kansas, Gardner of New Jersey and Currier of New Hampshire. Mr. Murdock, who was prominent in the house insurrection against the Cannon rules, tells the story on himself to show, he says, that, though the insurrection isn't dead yet, the hand of death occasionally weighs upon him. ```markdown ``` The Kansan, according to his story, was sitting not long ago in his office meditating revenge on the Cannonites, when an impressive-looking negro entered and inquired if he were Mr. Murdock. Mr. Murdock assured him that he was correct. "Don't you remember meeting me, Mr. Murdock?" the visitor went on. "I'm Bishop De Graffenried-Forest of your district. I've met you many times. I'm sure you will remember me." "No, I don't. And you didn't know me when you came in. But never mind, what is it?" "Mr. Murdock," the bishop said, "I'm in a powerful lot of trouble. My dear son, who, has been to school in Virginia, was injured in a ball game VIEWED sartorially as well as with respect to other attributes of statesmanship less perceptible to the eye, one is led to speculate as to what Daniel Webster, Henry Clay, John C. Calhoun and the other dead and gone heroes of the heavy oratorical period in American history would think if they could come back and take a look at the United States senate in these summer days. Time, the tailor and the modern haberdasher certainly have combined with the seasons to work a marked change from the conventionalities. In summer as well as winter the aspiring youth of the land have been wont to picture the dignified senator as a frock-coated, starch-bosomed being. Can you conjure up Webster thundering undying speeches in a negligee shirt a la Leader Aldrich, Orator Beveridge and a whole galaxy of present-day luminaries, Calhoun defending the ordinance of nullification min- MARBLE bust of Theodore Roosevelt is soon to be placed in a niche in the senate chamber in Washington alongside all the other vice-presidents of the United States since John Adams. The sculptor, James L. Frazier of New York city, has finished his work. He has modeled two busts and it only remains for the committee of the library to choose. That is what it is trying to do now. The trouble is the two busts are so different. One shows the calm and thoughtful Roosevelt, and it is said to be perfect in its way. The other portrays his as vice-president as the senate knew him best with fiery eye, protruding jaw and tense facial muscles—in short, the real strenuous Roosevelt. U.S. DIPLOMATIC SCHOOL IN ORDER to prepare new appointees to the United States diplomatic service more thoroughly for their duties the state department has established a school in Washington for the instruction of men who have successfully passed examinations. Mr. Huntington Wilson, assistant secretary of state, has given particular attention to the selection of new members for the service, and aside from a more careful and painstaking examination than heretofore this practical training has been decided upon. Heretofore there has been a so-called "instruction period" of 20 days last month, and he's just died. I am removing the body to Kansas, and I find I lack just $9.60 of the amount necessary for the trip. I am appealing to you as my congressman to accommodate me with this small sun until I reach home. Then I will pay you back, and if you don't help me I'll have to leave the body here on your hands." "You're trying to bunco me," said the suspicious Murdock. But he was ashamed of himself the next minute when he saw the look of pain come over the open countenance of the visitor, and reached for his checkbook. "Make it an even $10, Mr. Murdock, and the Lord bless you," the bishop ventured. That was the last Murdock thought of the matter until he was lunching in the house restaurant the other day. Then he caught a snatch of conversation from an adjoining table. "Needed just $14 to get his son's body home," Mr. Gardner of New Jersey was saying. "I thought it was a bunco game, but I didn't want to take chances on having a body consigned to my hotel, so I let him have the money and—" Murdock grew red about the ears. Then he picked up his hat and started out. In the corridor he met Mr. Currier of New Hampshire. "Currier," he said, "did you ever happen to hear of a negro bishop who needed money to get his son's body—" "Sh!!" Currier interrupted. "Don't say a word. He got me for fifty." "And I'll bet most of the congressmen in town," Murdock said, "have been contributing to that mortuary fund." Becoming Popular us coiar or "choker," a la Elkins, or Clay or Charles Sumner tripping about the senate chamber in tan shoes, a la Lorimer of Illinois. A blase observer, looking over the variegated display of unconventional dress on the floor of the senate not long ago rendered the opinion that if haberdashery had been as far advanced then as now the statesmen of that glorified period would have taken advantage of it. But it does knock school book ideals to flinders, nevertheless, to view the realities of today. Convention as to attire is losing ground even faster than the traditions that are falling under the force of radical senators who recently have entered the senate. Since Vice-President Sherman appeared one day in a suit of blue Georgia cotton, the senators have been blossoming out in the merriest and most striking modes that spell for comfort and hot weather ease. The southern senators are more prone to cling to the "boiled shirt." Collectively the senate resembles an aggregation of bank clerks as it pursues its work. Dignity is very, very negligee. As yet, however, no statesman has removed his shoes, as a southern senator did his boots one sultry day a few years ago. While Senator Wetmore, chairman of the library committee, has not committed himself in favor of either one, it is rumored that he and the other members of the committee are disposed to award the palm to strenuosity. "Tis said they think the senate will feel more at home with that one looking down on its deliberations. But the rub comes on account of the fact that Col. Roosevelt has himself expressed preference for his reposeful self. Before he left the White House he was shown the work of Mr. Frazier and did not hesitate a moment in mank his choice. Of course, the committee recognizes that Col. Roosevelt ought to have something to say about his own bust, but the question it is trying to decide is how much. The committee is inclined to think that the senate ought to have something to say about the matter, too. It is truly a knotty problem, and one that is likely to cause the library committee much worry. for successful candidates for diplomatic positions by statute, which they have usually spent in receiving formal instruction from the department and "whiling away time." The new school of instruction will be under the direction of Mr. John H. Gregory, Jr., United States minister to Nicaragua, who is now in Washington giving the matter careful attention. Mr. Wilson and other officials of the state department and of the other departments will give lectures on appropriate subjects. The course will last 30 days, beginning at the time of taking the oath of office, and the men who have passed their examinations will have a little extra start, inasmuch as no one has yet been appointed. Before the men are appointed the course of instruction will be confined to generalities, but after the appointments are made each appointee will be taken into the confidence of the department and instructed along certain lines.

The work of the league in the past has been valuable and it is well worth while for every earnest citizen to take an interest in its doings. As a source of practical business suggestion it is of immense value. It is not an organization for the mere purpose of giving those already in business a chance to talk of their methods, but its most important feature is that of perfecting and disclosing plans to increase and engage the business opportunities of colored men and women in the community and state. The Negro Townsite Company is the result of a League suggestion. Something new for the Negro to do in the business world is the aim of its energetic officers. Big audiences should attend the coming sessions of the state league. IN OLD VIRGINIA I the charitable provisions of a big-hearted deceased, Booker T.

Thoughtful men must of the Negro to skip over the necessary which demands the ownership and conquered before the races can dwell together in carries with it every element of that fund, then forget inferior differences and receivable worth in intelligence, wealth and THROUGH the charitable provisions of a big-hearted philanthropist, recently deceased, Booker T. Washington has been enabled to make a railroad tour of Virginia, in a special train, delivering addresses to the people along the route, in an effort to encourage and build up more harmonious relations between the races throughout the sections traversed and to influence better race feeling over the state. Similar tours have been made by Mr. Washington in other Southern states, and their success encouraged the effort in Virginia. The result demonstrates the fact principally that Mr. Washington has a hold upon the confidence of the Southern white man of sound thought and sober influence which probably no other Negro possesses, and which is enjoyed by others only within the limits of small localities. That Mr. Washington is big enough to merit this confidence, and wise enough to use it with discretion for the benefit of his people, should be sufficient to warrant him a place in the uncrowded gallery of immortals. Mr. Washington improves this opportunity to preach the doctrine of peace between the races, and while pleading for patience, toleration and justice on the part of the white people, admonishes the Negro to beware of frivolities and of unworthiness, of neglect and of the waste of time. To bring the races to a mutual understanding of each others position in a great task, and one which soars far above the understanding of small minds, wherein everlasting antipathies, hatreds and prejudices are bred and nursed. The demonstrations in Virginia have indicated that this happy middle-ground has been opened for settlement and that the people of both races recognize its value and are determined to cultivate it and all of its possibilities. This doctrine urges the Negroes to remain in the country districts and to set their hearts upon improving the land as much as any other people might improve it. It emphasises the fact that the Negro problem is not naturally a city problem and does not properly embrace the many industrial and social conflicts which unnatural conditions have brought about. Thoughtful men must agree that the impatient desires of the Negro to skip over the necessary phase of racial development which demands the ownership and conquest of the soil, must be conquored before the races can dwell together in tranquility, for such a triumph carries with it every element of that fundamental power which makes men forget inferior differences and recognize material and unsurmountable worth in intelligence, wealth and influence. THE DUNBAR MEMORIAL ING hard upon the honorary celebration Dayton, Ohio, in recognition of the womight brothers in the new field of aviation identically contrived machine, came the man and impressive ceremonies, arranged deep thought and reverence, in honor of the gro poet, a product of Dayton, whose bemetery of that city. To the Wrighten and prized in life, but to Dunbar was FOLLOWING hard upon the honorary celebration arranged by the people of Dayton, Ohio, in recognition of the wonderful achievements of the Wright brothers in the new field of aviation or flying by means of a scientifically contrived machine, came the less-heralded but more solemn and impressive ceremonies, arranged by a few men and women of deep thought and reverence, in honor of Paul Laurence Dunbar, the Negro poet, a product of Dayton, whose body lies buried in Woodland Cemetery of that city. To the Wright brothers went medals to be worn and prized in life, but to Dunbar was reared a monument, a great boulder with an inscribed tablet, to fix and anchor his memory in the hearts of an admiring multitude of people. Dunbar perhaps never dreamed of, and undoubtedly failed of achieving a place in the ranks of immortals, for he sought to portray only the feelings and longings of an obscure portion of the world's humanity, but he did his chosen work so well that he touched the hearts of those to whom he pleaded, and winning for his people a great fund of sympathy, won for himself the love and admiration of those whose intellects and understanding make them the leaders of men. Dunbar may never be fully appreciated by his own people, for his own people, while joining enthusiastically in the popular but momentary elamor raised in his honor, do not understand the plaintive beauty of his written thought, but admire most the humor and music of his fantastic reproductions of the racial characteristics with which they feel themselves possessed. But he is well appreciated, nevertheless, by undemonstrative thousands, who rear a monument for others to see, while they carry a richer treasure of personal love and admiration forever in their hearts. The New York World declares that millionaires exert more influence upon a people than do poets, and are more needed, but we believe that to be a narrow and sordid view of the true relations of life. Until the plaint, the longing and beauty of life have been pictured through poetic phrase, money is most apt to develop into a base and vulgar power. Negro millionaires, or near millionaires, preceded Dunbar, but their names are scarcely remembered; but the deep sentiment underlying the raising of the monument to Dunbar will open more hearts and win greater victories for a groping people than any spectacle of wealth can command within the life of the present generation. A LETTER OF THANKS. The Rev. H. A. Gibson, who was called as pastor of the People's Presbyterian church of this city, died May 15th. He had only been here three weeks when his illness proved fatal. He has pastored successfully in Bowling Green, Ky., Indianapolis, Ind., Springfield, Mo., Greensboro, N.C., and Winston-Salem, N.C. The Presbyterian board of New York employed him as Evangelist and his wife as singer. They traveled for three years. During this time over fifteen hundred souls were led to Christ. In some cities over one hundred souls were converted in less than ten days. He was known wherever he went as a worthy ideal Christian minister, loyal citizen kind and loving husband and father. Letters of condolence are still being received by his wife from different parts of the Union. All who knew him loved him. During his lifetime there was a family quartette. Mrs H. A. Gibson, soprano; Paul R., aged seven, tenor; Harry B., aged nine, alto and Rev. Gibson, bass. Many a large audience has been moved to tears by songs from this quartette. Now it is left a trio, but a sad one. His widow Mrs. Gibson, with her four boys, have visited weekly the green plot at Fair mount where all that is earthly remains. Here they have with tender hands laid some fresh flowers fragrant with sweet remembrance of husband and father. Mrs. Gibson with her four boys will leave the city Monday, July 26th, for Missouri and Oklahoma, where she has relatives. In Oklahoma she will likely accept a position as teacher in one of the rural schools. First, in a public way, Mrs. Gibson wishes to thank the ministers of the city who visited her husband when he was seriously ill and a stranger in the city, and for the gift that was presented to her in the form of a small purse. Secondly, the friends of the various churches, who visited him, comforting and praying with im. Thirdly, the untiring officers and members of the People's Presbyterian Church, who did all that loving hands could do to make it pleasant for him. These faithful friends stood by his bedside each night till the summons came. Their loving kindness has been shown to the widow and the little, fatherless children in so many ways. Mr. and Mrs. Don Reeves of 2020 Welton street deserve special mention for their fatherly and motherly part in welcoming them in their home. Fourthly, Dr. Williams and Dr. Hall and Rev. Wallace, M. E. ministers who visited the deceased, read and prayed with him and conducted the funeral services—may God ever guide and bless them. The physician, Dr. Shollenberger, who carried a heart with his profession and showed so much kindness in his visits. Mrs. Gibson wishes to thank all who in any way contributed to her husband's welfare. CHURCH DIRECTORY.

The usual reports of the work done on the previous Sunday were made. The people are keeping up the attendance well in spite of the uncomfortable weather. Campbell, Zion, Central Bethlehem reported large attendances all day. Scotts' attendance was normal. No report came from Shorters, Peoples' Presbyterian and Ward Mission. The Rev. F. D. Douglas is reported as ill. He is unable to continue the meeting at Campbell. The Rev. W. R. Davis has been secured to carry on the meeting until the Rev. Douglas has recovered sufficiently to resume his duties. The Rev. Williams, the energetic pastor, reports much good done by this revival. Eighteen have been added to Campbell, two to Central, one to Zion. A committee was apointed by the Union to draft resolutions or a plain statement of the gross discrimination that the Fire and Police Board made in granting permission to the Church of God people to erect a tent on 24th and Arapahoe streets for the purpose of carrying on an open air meeting and at the same time refusing to permit prominent colored ministers to erect a tent on 23rd and Larimer streets. An appeal will be made to the public through the weekly and daily press in behalf of future meetings. The Revs. H. Franklin Bray and veteran father in the ministry looked in upon the Union last Tuesday and spoke words of encouragement to the members. They were passing through our city, but will return next Monday in order to be at the ministers' outing at the City Park. Do not forget the annual picnic of the City Union at the City Park. The missionaries of the various churches will be there to make it pleasant for the ministers and their wives. The Bishop has been invited to speak on this occasion. The Rev. H. Franklin Bray of Phoenix, Ariz., president of the Colorado State Business Men's League, will be the guest of the Union on this occasion. Baskets will be prepared by the societies and there will be a grand old time spread. The Rev. J. N. Wallace, assistant correspondent for the weekly and daily papers of this city, will leave next Tuesday evening for Independence, Kan., where he will be in attendance upon the Topeka district conference, which convenes on the 28th inst. The Rev. A. E. Reynolds has announced that his rally will be held at the Shorter Church the second Sunday in September. The Rev. A. M. Ward has announced hat his last quarterly conference will be held September 5th. The Rev. W. McDonald will hold Scotts quarterly conference September 12th. It appears that September will be a very busy month for all the preachers. The A. M. E. annual conference and the National Baptist convention will be held in this month. The Rev. W. C. Williams, pastor of Campbells Church, read a splendid paper on the "Gift of Tongues." The paper showed originality in thought and preparation. The Rev. Williams showed up the erroneous teaching that at one time thrived among the colored people of Denver. He quoted much scripture to back up his contention. The ministers discussed the paper and complimented the writer. The Rev. A. M. Ward reported that no discrimination was shown in the recent movement to discourage Sunday funerals. Some of the colored undertaking establishments were not notified to be at the meeting representing the various organizations interested in the meeting because they had not been in business long enough. The Young Men's Christian Brotherhood will have their annual sermon preached at the Zion Baptist Church Sunday, August 22nd. The Rev. A. M. Ward will deliver the sermon. At the meeting the directors hope to report $1,000.00 raised on the building fund. The ministers have been organized into a "Boosters" Club." There are several other clubs headed by prominent young men in all the churches. The Rev. W. C. Williams has announced that his last quarterly conference will be held the second Sunday in September and that the Rev. A. M. Ward will preach the sacramental sermon. The Rev. W. R. Davis will fill Scotts pulpit during the absence of the pastor at the district conference. THE BROADHURST CARTER SHOE CO. SUMMER FOOTWALK STARTS SALE It means you $5.00 and $6.00 Oxford now ...

HAYES, DAUGHTER OF JEF FERSON DAVIS, DIES AT COLO- RADO SPRINGS, COLO. HIGHLY HONORED THROUGHOUT THE SOUTH AS THE DAUGHTER OF THE CONFEDERACY. Colorado Springs. After a brave battle with death, lasting over a period of several months, during which she was confined to her room, Mrs. Margaret Howell Davis Hayes, "The Daughter of the Confederacy," only surviving child of the late President Jefferson Davis, and wife of J. Addison Hayes, died at her home, 832 North Cascade avenue, this city, of a complication of diseases, at 6 o'clock Sunday evening. She was fifty-four years old and for twenty-four years had lived in Colorado Springs. Mr Hayes is president of the First National Bank of this city and is one of the most prominent financiers of the West. Mr. and Mrs. Hayes were married about thirty years and are well known both in and around Richmond, Va. and in Louisiana. In addition to her husband, Mrs. Hayes is survived by four children—Jefferson Hayes Davis, William Hayes, Miss Lucy Hayes and Mrs. Varina Webb, wife of Dr. Gerald B. Webb, all of this city. Jefferson Bayes Davis; who is twenty-one years old, was originally called Jefferson Davis Hayes, but through a special enactment of the Legislature was allowed to change his name in order to perpetuate the name of his illustrious grandfather. He graduated from Princeton University two years ago and is now home on a vacation from a post-graduate course at Columbia. His brother, William Hayes, is two years his junior and is a student at Princeton. Miss Lucy Hayes is one of the most prominent members of the younger exclusive social set in Colorado Springs and vicinity, as is Mrs. Varna Webb and her husband, Dr. Webb. Dr. Webb returned about a year ago from an extended trip abroad and brought with him the results of extended experiments in bacteria. Mrs. Hayes was born in Louisiana, near New Orleans, and received her early education in the South. Coming from the first family of the proud old South, and receiving her finishing education in the finest private schools of the cotton states, she later came to Colorado Springs with her husband during its early days. Mrs. Hayes was prominent in church and philanthropical circles and bestowed numerous benefactions, all with the same unostentation that marks the entire family. Mrs. Hayes was extremely averse to publicity, and after her death today Mr. Hayes gave out a brief statement of three or four lines containing the bare announcement of her death. Miss Winnie Davis of Louisiana, the elder daughter of the late President Jefferson Davis, died about four years ago, and her title as the daughter of the confederacy was then bestowed on Mrs. Hayes, who made a trip South for that purpose and was formally given the title by the various confederate organizations. Her mother, Mrs. Jefferson Davis, died in New York about two years ago. Curtiss' Aeroplane Wrecked. New York.—A frightened amateur sitting like a wooden man, went up Sunday in Glenn Curtiss' aeroplane, which hovered a moment in mid-air, and then crashed to the earth. The beautiful craft in which Curtiss made his remarkable flight yesterday was badly wrecked. When the would-be aviator was lifted from the twisted frame he was delirious, his left arm was broken and his body bruised. His injuries, however, are not serious. The accident occurred at Heampstead plain, Mineola, where Curtiss has been giving demonstrations for the New York Aeronautic Society, to which he recently sold his aeroplane for $5,000. It was a member of the society, Alexander Williams, forty-two years old, who was injured. While Williams had driven many an automobile and is familiar with gas engines, he seemed to lose complete control of himself as the aeroplane soared upward. When it had attained a height of thirty feet the craft careened sharply to the right, sweoped toward the earth, and, striking on end, turned completely over, then rolled on its back. Williams remained pinned to his seat until lifted out. Mrs. Eddy's Eighty-Eighth Birthday. Boston.-Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy, founder and leader of the Christian Science denomination, passed her eighty-eighth birthday Friday at her residence at Chestnut Hill. According to custom the anniversary was without any particular observance by her friends or the church. Members of Mrs. Eddy's household said "the mother," as she is known by her followers, was in splendid health and was attending to her affairs with her usual vigor. THE CANNING OF COLORADO GOODS MANY LARGE FACTORIES THAT PUT UP VEGETABLES, FRUIT AND MILK. PICKLES, TOMATOES, PORK AND BEANS, PUMPKINS, ASPARAGUS; ALSO SPECIALTIES. Colorado is rapidly increasing her prestige as being the greatest food producing state in the Union. Considered from the viewpoint of variety our state is exceptionally the premier of all. Our wonderful development of the live stock industry has been marvelous. From this source we draw our dairy supplies. Our fruit and vegetables are world-famous: Arkansas valley contaloupes, western slope apples, peaches, northern Colorado potatoes, etc., that are rarely equaled and never surpassed; these, with our agricultural resources being developed in every part of the state, especially by the enormous irrigation projects, that are throwing open to the farmer thousands of acres of choice land, should enable us to supply the demands from the state and not be obliged to import from our sister states the immense tonnage of grain, etc., that is required to supply our mills and elevators for home and interstate distribution. The secret of any state's wealth is the ability to distribute products both in the crude and manufactured state, the value of exports to always exceed that of the imports. In this article we wish to tell Colorado people of an industry that contributes a large share to the commercial wealth of the state. It is the canning industry. We have factories located in various sections of the state which handle immense quantities of the products grown in their vicinity. Our Colorado canneries prepare and distribute all kinds of fruits and vegetables. Their products find a market in all sections of the United States. The Colorado peas, beans and pickles are famous for their superior quality. We also prepare a superior food product of pork and beans. The increase in shipments to all territory shows the great demand for these staple products. The following are a few of the specialties grown and prepared in Colorado for the market: Beans, peas, tomatoes, pumpkin, asparagus tips, pickles, olives, relishes, sour kraut, mustard, Chill sauce, horse radish, catsup, mincemeat, apple and peach butter, preserves, cider vinegar, pork and beans, salad dressing and condensed milk. It is our constant desire to impress upon our readers the importance of calling for Colorado-made goods, as you will secure the best that money can buy, and also be helping build a greater Colorado. The statistics given below show what an important part our canning industry plays in the commercial life of Colorado. The number of employees directly dependent upon this line of work is conservatively estimated at 1,000, with an average daily wage of $3, making an annual pay roll disbursement of $936,000. With your loyalty and influence to help in our campaign for building up Colorado by buying Colorado-made goods, we can double the pay roll of every factory in the state as a greater demand for home products necessitates an increase in the number of employees to manufacture and supply the demand. The following are a few items of interest: We have a very important industry in a modern equipped condensed milk factory, and it is of no small moment if you realize that this factory shipped 50,000 pounds of condensed milk in 1908, valued at $175,000. It required 5,000,000 pounds of milk to supply that number of cases for market. This factory employees twenty-four people, and disburses $10,000 a year in wages. One great feature that appeal to every housewife is cleanliness in food preparation. Our canning institutions pride themselves as possessing this virtue, and a visit to any one of the plants will convince you that they are scrupulously clean, or, quoting from one of our oldest and best, "the cleanest kitchen in the cleanest town." It is your privilege and would be your pleasure to visit to one of these plants, and after you have looked into any of their large copper kettles which are polished like burnished gold, your reflection will show an expression of satisfaction in being convinced that the statements above are true. We have one factory in the state that steam-cooks asparagus tips in an immense silver caldren valued at several thousand dollars, and this prepared food must be tasted to be appreciated. Moving Brick Buildings. Denver.—The brick two-story store of Tom J. Kerrigan at 296 Huron street, has just been moved twenty-five feet onto new foundations, on account of the widening of Huron street, without causing the cessation of business for a minute.

After Specialist Failed to Cure Her Intense Itching Eczema—Had Been Tortured and Disfigured But Was Soon Cured of Dread Humor. "I contracted eczema and suffered intensely for about ten months. At times I thought I would scratch myself to pieces. My face and arms were covered with large red patches, so that I was ashamed to go out. I was advised to go to a doctor who was a specialist in skin diseases, but I received very little relief. I tried every known remedy, with the same results. I thought I would never get better until a friend of mine told me to try the Cuticura Remedies.

To decide the all important question of coffee, whether or not it is really the hidden cause of physical ails and approaching fixed diseases, one should make a test of ten days by leaving off coffee entirely and using well-made Postum. If relief follows you may know to a certainty that coffee has been your vicious enemy. Of course you can take it back to your heart again, if you like to keep sick. A lady says: "I had suffered with stomach trouble, nervousness and terrible sick headaches ever since I was a little child, for my people were always great coffee drinkers and let us children have all we wanted. I got so I thought I could not live without coffee, but I would not acknowledge that it caused my suffering. "Then I read so many articles about Postum that I decided to give it a fair trial. I had not used it two weeks in place of coffee until I began, to feel like a different person. The headache and nervousness disappeared and whereas I used to be sick two or three days out of a week while drinking coffee I am now well and strong and sturdy seven days a week, thanks to Postum. "I had been using Postum three months and had never been sick a day when I thought I would experiment and see if it really was coffee that caused the trouble, so I began to drink coffee again and inside of a week I had a sick spell. I was so ill I was soon convinced that coffee was the cause of all my misery and I went back to Postum with the result that I was soon well and strong again and determined to stick to Postum and leave coffee alone in the future."
