Notice the influence of a strictly commercial age; it is not possible to be beyond its spirit. The Negro is coming. The class who are coming, however, receive but scant consideration. It is refreshing to notice in many of our race papers and in some of the whites' tributes to the struggling energy of the undiscovered Negroes. They are not great in the sense that they have won fame in some of our schools or colleges, or have been eloquent orators, politicians, etc., but they have taken a barren waste and made it blossom as the rose. They have produced something. They have by thrift and frugality laid by a snug sum for the rainy day, and their savings are a part of the deposits of savings banks and trust companies. They perhaps own a few shares of stock in a local bank, telephone or ditch company. They are the unknown toilers of the race, whose liberality have made possible our splendid churches, schools, colleges, and they have sent thousands of our boys and girls to schools. Now that we have producers on every hand, as well as wage earners, our people must get into the commercial whirl. One who passes along our streets would hardly think that Negroes were numerous in Denver. Very few in proportion to the population are seen on the avenues. But go to one of our fashionable churches on Sunday, and the congregation of well-groomed men and women runs into the thousands. Visit a moonlight picnic, and the "Myrmidons of Troy" become a corporal's guard beside the thousands who go out to take the air. All these people must be fed, clothed and shod. Someone does it. The Negroes of Denver spend thousands of dollars annually providing themselves with food and raiment. Here is a rare opportunity for a clear-headed business man. We have now a few Negroes in business but there is room for more just as there is room for more farmers and truck gardeners. We need skilled mechanics of all kinds, men and women. Then we want our people to rally just as they rally to our churches. THE DOERS. Things nowadays are on a com- mercial basis. Everything is given its value in dollars and cents. And it becomes desirable in proportion as it increases in value. The desirability of any class of citizens is measured by what they contribute to the total productiveness of the community. The individual is invaluable to the employer of labor because of his energy and ability. The value of the man is measured just as electricity, gas or water, and the controlling elements of a corporation know your worth and your consideration for services rendered is meted accordingly. What is true of the individual becomes by the same parity of reasoning true of the race. We stand nonplussed at the great commercial combinations of capital projected and successfully carried out by the white man. We see whole states subdued and exploited by his genius. His great financial and commercial acumen seems marvelous. He combines great railroads and steamship lines, bringing the products of the uttermost parts of the earth to our door. We stand and watch the parade go past. It is not necessarily the fault of the Negro that he does not jump into the swim and become a part of our great financial world. He views the present day success of the white man and then looks back a thousand years to note the various elements which have contributed to his making. Years of training, coupled with many wrecks and failures lie behind present greatness. COMMERCIAL POLITICS. There is very little if any sentiment about politics. The man and the party who bring results in dollars and cents win the confidence of the people. The emoluments of office and "pie" of party success does not alone belong to one man. There is plenty of work ahead for those who feel that under the present political regime the Negro voters have received poor pay. The scarcity of colored emloyes throughout the city and state under the party in power will make hard sledding for the fellows who carried the banner of reform last year. There is but one party to tie to, and the Negro will bear this in mind, it is the party that increases the number of Negro employees. Politics must be made to pay the DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JULY 31, 1909. State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House tronizing Tho RADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, many as well as the few. Twenty Negroes at $2 a day are worth more in the racial uplift than one at $100 a month. THE AVERAGE NEGRO. The following is an excerpt from a very interesting article in the Hot Springs, Ark, Echo. "Do you know we began to reason about the undistinguished Negro in every state of the union who form the backbone of Negro honesty, Negro integrity, Negro character, Negro wealth, Negro enterprise and Negro prosperity in general. We noticed that Ray Stannard Baker, when in Atlanta diden't see any of these undistinguished Negroes—he got hold of the distinguished Negro, the lowly Negro and the degenerate Negro, but not a picture could he find of the undistinguished Negro who is the bone and sinew of the success of the Negro in that part of the country. You know it is the distinguished Negro who wants to be white and is forever sticking himself where he is not wanted. That was the bottom and tap root of the greater part of the Atlanta riot. The unknown Negro who has given the race a standing are the cooks, the pick and shovel men, the ditchers, the coal heavers, the garbage drivers, the stable porters, the gardeners, the flunkey, the chambermaid, the washerwoman, the house cleaner. It is these that build our churches, tear up lodge halls, erect school houses and colleges, they are the unseen forces that have brought the Negro to the top. Yes, they are the ones who read and pay for the newspapers. It is the little Negro not the distinguished ex-politician, or broken down preacher, or worm-eaten ward-healer or gambler and saloon keeper who brought his way to the front that has lifted and is lifting the Negro A certain Negro who has gotten rich through liquor selling and being proprietor of bawdy houses and really is now a proprietor in a way, was introduced by his daughter who is quite distinguished to a certain President of the U.S. This President had a present opportunity of finding out about this Negro who was so distinguished. Discovering that his distinguishment came through his having been a successful promoter of degeneracy, can you wonder at the conditions? Distinguished Negroes are dying hard; they don't amount to a thing these days. All their worth is keeping the devil moving over Jim Crowism. It is the unseen Negro who is forging ahead, being a Negro; making his home comfortable and happy; gaining a standing through the confidence of all. We want a book of The Average Negro giving a detailed account of the undistinguished Negro in every section of this broad land. Convention of the National Negro Business League at Louisville Ky. The 9th Annual Convention of the National Negro Business League which is to be held at Louisville, in "old Kentucky," Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 18, 19 and 20th, promises to be one of the most interesting and best attended conventions that have been held since the organization of the League at Boston, nine years ago. The stimulating effect upon Negro business enterprise which this League has been exerting under the direction of Dr. Booker T. Washington and his official staff has been clearly seen and appreciated and, in part, explains the League's constantly increasing membership. The central location of Louisville, the special railroad rates that have been secured for all delegates (a fare and a third, plus 50 cents) the excellent program which is being arranged, and the many social features and other attractions which have been provided for all indicate an unusually large atten dance. The officers of the Local Negro Business League of Louisville are working energetically to make this the banner meeting of the League and the generous provisions already made for the reception and entertainment of delegates and visitors, justifies the prediction that all those who attend will be treated to genuine Kentucky hospitality. ROCKY FORD NEWS. Holloway-Hughes Mr. John Holloway of Rocky Ford and Miss Rachel Hughes of Colorado Springs were united in holy matrimony Monday evening, July 26th, at 8:30 p. m., at the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. Winslow. Rev. L. W. Harris of Cannon City, Colo., performed the ceremony. After the ceremony the surprised guests were further entertained by the serving of an elaborate supper. Those who were present owe much to Mr. and Mrs. Winslow, for they left not one stone unturned to make the affair a grand one. Music and song cheered us so that it was hard to believe that we were awake. However, we all wish the happy couple a successful sailing on the sea of life together. Mr. John Holloway is one of the most energetic young men not only of Rocky Ford but of the Arkansas valley. He came to Rocky Ford three years ago, went to work, and saved his money. The result is that today he ranks among the large and successful beet growers of said valley. This is his second year in the beet-raising business and he is now operating more than 100 acres in We hope others of our young men will say: "If Holloway can do that, so can I." Mrs. Holloway is formerly of Lawrence, Kans., coming to Colorado two years ago. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES The fact that out of a population of 73,000 Afro-Americans in Macon county, Ga., only six persons have applied for maintenance at the county almhouse within the past eight years is a glowing tribute to the thrift and industry of our people. Lockhart, Texas, July 20. That the white and colored clerks be segregated, is asked in a petition being circulated among the white clerks in this district, which will be presented to the Post-master General. It is suggested that the colored clerks be assigned to one section of the country and the whites to another, or separate lines of work. New York, July 25.—The United States army transport Kilpatrick, with the Tenth regiment of United States cavalry, arrived today after a two months voyage from the Philippines. The six hundred Negro troopers were immediately given shore leave. Most of the troopers had been in the Philippines. They will go to Fort Ethan Allen. Atlanta, Ga., July 20.—If a bill introduced into the Legislature today by Representative Vinson, of Baldwin county, be passed, the public schools maintained for the education of colored people in Georgia, will be practically abolished. The measure provides that all appropriations for schools shall be divided equally between white and colored schools in proportion to the taxes paid by each As a result of the efforts of the Hon. Sid Russell, Rev. C. A. Buchanan and Mr. H. C. Caldwell, who appeared before the corporation commissioners at Guthrie, Okla., recently for the purpose of compelling the railroads running through that state to provide equal accommodations for both races, the commissioners have so notified all railroads entering the state no discaimination must be shown on account of color in the class of accommodations for the public. Annapolis, Md., July 17.—The municipal election was a complete Democratic victory. The bitter- N.O. 46 ness of the Democratic fight for nominations might have caused a split board, but for the new registration act passed for Annapolis by the last Legislature. By this law the "grandfather clause" was made to work so that many colored voters of the city were eliminated from elections. With the colored vote no longer a factor, the Republicans for the first time in years failed to name a colored man for alderman from the Third Ward. Burlington, Vt., July 20.—This city, one of the furthest North in New England, and a hotbed of abolition, is aroused over the decision of the Government to quarter 1200 colored cavalrymen at Fort Ethan Allen, three miles from here. White folks have refused to eat in restaurants with the colored people and residents of both Burlington and Winooski are demanding separate cars for whites and blacks on the trolley road. Winooski finds herself facing a condition similar to that in many Southern cities and towns where the colored population is nearly as large or larger than the whites. New York, July 24.—George Howard, a Negro of middle age, seems likely to become an international complication and it is possible that he will spend the rest of his life traveling back and forth on the Atlantic ocean, on the liner Arabic. He started for England today, deported as an undesirable alian, but as he had previously been deported from England for the same cause, he is not likely to be received with enthuiasm. Howard arrived here a week ago. He had just left a British prison, where he had been serving a sentence for burglary and as he clamed American citizenship, the British authorities sent him here under the alien act. Howard asserted that he had been born here and had spent the first 20 years of his life in this country, but he had no evidence to back up the assertion. Indian Beans. Soak one pint red beans over night, and boil next morning till skins break. Put a deep layer in the beanpot, add a layer of canned corn, then beans and corn, till the can of corn and beans are all used. Bury one-half pound salt pork in top, gashed side up. To the water the beans were boiled in add one-half can tomatoes, one-half cupful molasses, salt and pepper to taste. Boil one-half hour and strain over beans and corn. Bake eight hours, closely covered in slow oven, adding more water if necessary. Try these some day for change. One Comfort. A certain lady prides herself upon always looking at the bright side of things. "My dear," moaned her husband one day recently, as he tossed restlessly on his beig. "it's the doctor I'm thinking of. What a bill his will be!" "Never mind, Joseph," said his wife.

Britain's Great Prime Minister Had the Gift of Occasionally Forgetting Care of Office. Some one says, "Unhappy is the man who cannot fool." He who cannot descend from his pedestal of greatness and play is indeed to be pitied. The change from rollingick galey to awesome dignity is not always so abrupt nor so plainly seen, however, as that described by William Toynbee, in "Mr. Pitt in Private Life," an article published in the Westminster Review. That great statesman, upon whose word so many tremendous issues hung, was in the habit of retiring to his country house for seasons of relaxation. There he dropped his character of august prime minister and became for the time a romping schoolboy. One day he had been skylarking with his young friends. He rushed into every fray with the ardor of the youngest present. When the fun was most furious a servant entered the room and informed the prime minister, who was coatless and embellished with burnt cork, that Lords Hawkesbury and Castlereagh had arrived from London on important business. "Ask them to wait," remarked Pitt, and proceeded with the game. When that was finished, Pitt said that he must attend to the two noble lords, and retired to his dressing room to repair damages. Presently he returned and a remarkable transformation took place. Standing in the middle of the room, the prime minister drew himself up to full height of unapproachable dignity. To the astonishment of the young people present the two lords came into the room almost on their hands and knees, and with abject obsequiousness explained the object of their visit. Mr. Pitt listened with an air of distant hauteur, and with a sentence or two dismissed his noble guests. Youth's Companion. Clock That Tells Much One of the most wonderful clocks in existence is now in the possession of Louis Desoutter, who has had the honor of taking it to Buckingham palace for inspection by the queen. Her majesty showed great interest in its beautiful mechanism. The clock is fixed on a Louis Seize stand and has four faces. Besides marking the hours, it shows the tides at six different parts of the world, the mean time and the solar time, the age of the moon, the movements of the pianets, all ellipses, and is a perpetual calendar. It was made by Javier c Paris in 1789 for the French Academy and took 11 years to manufacture; the workmanship is magnificent.—London Evening Standard. H. L. KORTZ.

Denver.—The new game law passed by the Seventeenth General Assembly went into effect Wednesday, July 28th, it having been three months since the Governor affixed his signature. Among its provisions are many new ones. Residents of Colorado will not be required to have a license to fish in its streams, but all non-residents must pay $2 for such a license. Non-resident hunting licenses are reduced from $25 to $10, thus more than evening up the score for them. The deer season has been greatly restricted. It will last only from October 1st to 10th and one person is entitled to one deer with horns. No fawns or does may be killed. The prairie chicken season is from October 1st to October 20th. Sage hens and mountain and willow grouse may be killed from September 10th to October 10th. Ducks and geese may be shot from September 10th to April 15th. The dove season extends from August 20th to September 5th. Plover, curlew and shore birds may be killed from March 1st to April 15th. Trout fishing from May 25th to November 30th, so that in the future Memorial day crowds may fish without danger of violating the law. The law also changes the number of birds that one person may shoot in a day or have in his possession. Twenty geese and twenty other birds is the limit for one day's kill, yet a person may have in his possession at one time twenty-five geese, twenty-five ducks and twenty-five other birds. Negro Town for Colorado. Denver.—Carrying out Booker T. Washington's pet theory, which holds that every negro community in every state should have a district and a town of its own, in order to preserve race independence and race respect, a meeting of delegates from all over the state of Colorado was held at the new Zion Baptist church in this city to discuss the situation. A number of suggestions as to where land should be purchased were offered. Most of the tracts suggested lie in Southern Colorado. The purpose of the movement is not to establish the entire negro community of Colorado upon this land, but to own land upon which to let homesteads. Immense Pumping Project. Greeley.—B. D. Sanborn has sold 800,000,000 cubic feet of storage space in his Boyd lake reservoir to the committee of land owners representing the proposed new Boyd lake irrigation district. The contract was signed by O. H. Egee, Dr. McFadden and C. L. Wells, of Loveland. The owners have agreed to organize an irrigation district, embracing 6,000 acres of land due west of Greeley. The land will be bonded for $40 an acre, or a total of $240,000. Mr. Sanborn is to receive $140,000, and reserves all other rights in the reservoir, which he intends enlarging. The water will be lifted from the lake by hydraulic pumps upon the land to be irrigated. The power used will be either electricity or gas. The reservoir is full to capacity. It is unusual for a new district to have the water ready before the district is organized. Mr. Sanborn has built the lake alone, and it now has a capacity of 1,600,000-000 cubic feet. Northern Beet Crop Good Denver.—A Greeley dispatch says: General Field Superintendent Timothy of the Great Western Sugar company says the beet crop is especially good and better than last year. The beets have all been thinned, the second hoeing finished and 50 per cent of them irrigated for the first time. Farmers are irrigating as fast as possible. There seems to be plenty of labor. A plat of an extensive irrigation project styled "The Book Cliff Ditch," with T. C. Henry as claimant and builder, and his son, George Henry, an engineer in charge, has been filed in Mesa county. The ditch will have its headgate on the east bank of the east bang of the Grand river above Palisade, will run north and west through Grand Junction and Fruita, a distance of nearly 40 miles, and will water 100,000 acres. The cost of the project is placed at $2,000,000. It at many points parallels the High Line canal, the project of the reclamation service. Maj. A. V. Bohn, recently appointed postmaster at Leadville, has assumed the management of the office. Upon the recommendation of Senator Guggenheim, Dr. H. Freudenberger has been appointed pension examining surgeon at Grand Junction, vice Dr. F. R. Smith, resigned. Dr. George H. Stover, the Denver X-ray specialist, who is being treated in Boston for burns received in the use of the ray, is reported to be recovering Mrs. C. M. Moody of Denver has been appointed clerk in the Geological Survey service at Denver. STATE NEWS ITEMS John Remple, conductor, and E. A. Craddock, motorman of a street car, were held up and robbed of gold watches and about $30 in money a few nights since in West Pueblo. The government fish hatchery on the Grand Mesa is preparing to ship a large quantity of trout eggs to foreign countries. Italy will receive 300,000, France 600,000 and Japan 300,000. Bids for the erection of three cottages at the insane asylum at Pueblo were rejected because none of them were inside the sum available. The lowest bid was $150,000. The board will advertise for new bids. A Takamine, a Japanese, will establish a large Japanese boarding house in Denver. He has purchased for $35,000 the building and grounds on Broadway formerly occupied by Dean Peck's training school for girls. John Gates and William Eagan, who were arrested by the Union Pacific for digging a hole under the track to save their homes during the recent floods at Greeley, were dismissed in justice court for lack of evidence. By the will of Francis Serriere a goodly sum is left to the McChelland orpranage of Pueblo and the Vineland Methodist church. Serriere was a prosperous farmer near Vineland and his estate is valued at $9,000. William Wahl has sold his farm just north of Golden, to Nathaniel Ketchel of Denver for $25,000. Two years ago the place was offered for $18,000, its value having increased in that time over one third. Similar advances in agricultural land are reported from all over the state. Charles W. Comstock, state engineer, has issued postal cards giving out a strict set of rules concerning the filing of plans and blue prints with his office. All drawings will be refused if they are folded or creased and all specifications shall be letter size paper and so bound that they may be filed in a vertical tile. The Silver State Packing company of Fort Lupton opened its factory July 26th and began canning beans. On account of the severer hailstorm there will be only a short run. Most of the tomato plants have been replanted. More than $1,000 worth of tomato plants were set out after the hailstorm and these will make a fair crop. A letter has been received by the state land board from W. F. Teagarten of Craig, saying that the state grabbed many thousands of acres of coal land for lien lands in Routt county, and if they are not opened the citizens will assist the government in getting control of the land. He says the state will not sell and allow development. The Boulder Evangelical association has filed articles of incorporation. It is formed for the purpose of providing a tabernacle in Boulder and carrying on a series of revival meetings under the management of Billy Sunday, to commence the latter part of August. The meetings will continue six weeks and it is said will cost, with the tabernacle, about $10,000. The city council of Montrose has decided to expend up to $500 for decorating the city during the visit of President Taft at the formal opening of the Gunnison tunnel September 23d and 24th. The council decided to decorate ten business blocks and appoint a committee to manage the work. President Taft will reach Montrose September 23d and remain until 5 p. m. September 24th. James L. Hurt of Center, who is one of those before the legislative investigating committee which is going over the administration of Mark G. Woodruff as register of the state land board, made application a few days since for 960 acres of land at the lowest appraisal placed upon it. The board rejected the bid and raised the appraisal 50 per cent. The Denver & Rio Grande has ordered 1,600 fifty-ton steel dump bottom coal cars, 1,500 steel under and upper frame box cars, 500 steel under and upper frame stock cars, 250 steel fifty-ton flat cars and 200 refrigerator cars. This road has under construction ten all-steel passenger coaches, ten all-steel baggage and express cars and a few caboose cars. An airship, which, when completed, will bear some resemblance to a "merry widow" hat, has been designed by Architect John Conkie of Trinidad, who aside from being an inventor, is senior vice commander of the Department of Colorado and Wyoming G. A. R. Mr. Conkie's invention is an aeroplane with a parachute attachment, which, he says, will prevent any serious accident. A mass meeting attended by representatives from every town in Mesa county was held at Grand Junction a few days since for the purpose of discussing ways and means of more successfully advertising and boosting all the communities. Organization of the Mesa County Commercial club was perfected and pledges of cash subscriptions for several thousand dollars were received. Charles E. Stubbs, vice president of the second annual Colorado Exposition to be held at Denver the third week in September, sailed from New York for Hamburg on the new liner Cleveland July 31st. For the past few months Mr. Stubbs has canvassed the West in the interests of the exposition. Ablierd Barela, a 13-year-old nephew of Senator Casimiro Barela, was instantly killed July 22d, on the ranch of the senator near Trinidad, by falling off a load of hay, the rear wheels of the wagon passing over him and crushing his chest. AGREEMENT ON THE TARIFF BILL REPUBLICAN CONFEREES COMPELLED TO ACCEPT PRESIDENT'S MANDATE. REDUCTION IS FORCED LETTER FROM WHITE HOUSE AN NOUNCES THE EXECUTIVE'S ULTIMATUM. Washington, July 29.—The Payne Aldrich tariff bill is completed. An agreement on all disputed points was reached this afternoon and at 4:55 p. m. the report was signed by the Republican conferees. It will go to the House tomorrow and be voted on by that body on Saturday. The Senate will Monday begin consideration of the measure. The Senate session may consume all of next week. Halted by the mandate of President Taft, the tariff conferees were compelled to turn back and revise their rates on lumber and gloves. Hides will be free, and the rates on shoes and other leather products reduced. When the conferees fixed lumber and glove rates yesterday by shading slightly the higher rates on each, they were so certain that the President would consent to the arrangement that notices were sent out to the Democratic conferees to be present at 10 o'clock today to approve or disapprove of the report. The President had other ideas of what the rates should be, however, and he expressed them forcibly in a letter. He said that lumber should not be more than $1.25 per 1,000 feet for rough, with the differentials fixed by the Senate on finished lumber. He declared also that the Senate rates on gloves, which are the same as the Dingley rates, and much less than the House rates, would have to be adopted in order to obtain his indorsement. The President also specified that hides must go on the free list and the house rates on boots and shoes and other manufactures of leather must be reduced. Hosiery, too, he thought should be be reduced below the House rates, which were advanced over the Dingley rates. There was no opportunity to compromise on gloves. The President said the rates must not be advanced beyond the figures named by the Senate bill, which are the same as the existing duties except for the fact that Schmaschen gloves were reduced by the Senate from $1.75 a dozen to $1.25. These rates were adopted. On lumber some concessions were made, in spite of the fact that the President's instructions were complied with to the letter. Rough lumber was made dutiful at $1.25 per 1,000 feet; finished on one side, $1.75; finished on two sides, or one side planed and tongued and grooved, $2.15; finished on three sides, $2.52½, and finished on four sides, $2.90. To conciliate Senators Piles and Jones the confeerees adopted the Senate rate of 50 cents per 1,000 on shingles instead of the House rate of 30 cents. In order to obtain the support of Senator Heyburn the industries of whose state had been assailed through the abolition of the duty on hides, the reduction of the duties on lumber and the reduction in the differential on pig lead in bars, the latter schedule was reconsidered and restored to 2½ cents per pound. In view of the action of the confeeers in putting hides on the free list a concession also was made to the cattle industry, by taking tallow off the free list and making it dutiable at $1\frac{1}{2}$ cents per pound. The rates on hosiery were fixed by increases of about 20 per cent. In grades valued at $1.00, $1.50 and $2.00 a dozen pairs. This is an increase over existing rates, but a material decrease from the House advances. On all other values of hosiery the Dingley rates re-enacted by the Senate were retained. Colombia Facing Revolution. Colombia.—Angered by a report than President Reyes, when he fled Colombia for Europe, took with him $20,000,000 in gold and a bag containing millions of dollars' worth of jewels as his plunder from the government, the people of the republic are on the verge of a serious revolution. Only the lack of a forceful and daring leader seems to be keeping the movement from breaking out into active war against the government. In Cartagena martial law has been declared. Barcelona Rebels Crushed. Madrid.—It was officially announced Thursday night that the cavalry at Barcelona succeeded during the day in driving into St. Martin square the principal bands of revolutionists against whom the artillery opened fire, causing great losses. The survivors surrendered. After fighting desperately and successfully for a long time behind barricades, the principal mobs were gradually driven to St. Martin square where they found themselves entrapped.

Tuberculosis Conference Tuberculosis Conference. Under the auspices of the Swedish National League Against Tuberculosis, the International Tuberculosis conference held its annual meeting in Stockholm July 8 to 10. Among the American speakers on the program were Dr. Hermann M. Biggs of New York and Dr. John C. Wise, medical director of the United States navy, who was the official representative of this country. Two subjects of special interest discussed were: "Care of Tuberculous Families, Especially of Healthy Children," and "Tuberculosis and the Schools." Pathog in a Fire Report. In the annual report of the fire marshal of Kentucky the following extract is not without a suggestion of "Little Boy Blue:" "Among the odds and ends of the attic, usually are vanished furniture, rags smeared with grease to take fire themselves, painting oils liable to take fire when the sun beats on the roof, and broken toys of children who are grown and gone away, or who went to sleep long ago." SURPRISED HIM Doctor's Test of Food. A doctor in Kansas experimented with his boy in a test of food and gives the particulars. He says: "I naturally watch the effect of different foods on patients. My own little son, a lad of four, had been ill with pneumonia and during his convalescence did not seem to care for any kind of food. "I knew something of Grape-Nuts and its rather fascinating flavor, and particularly of its nourishing and nerve-building powers, so I started the boy on Grape-Nuts and found from the first dish that he liked it. "His mother gave it to him steadily and he began to improve at once. In less than a month he had gained about eight pounds and soon became so well and strong we had no further anxiety about him. "An old patient of mine, 73 years old, came down with serious stomach trouble and before I was called had got so weak he could eat almost nothing, and was in a serious condition. He had tried almost every kind of food for the sick without avail. "I immediately put him on Grape-Nuts with good, rich milk and just a little pinch of sugar. He exclaimed when I came next day 'Why doctor I never ate anything so good or that made me feel so much stronger.' "I am pleased to say that he got well on Grape-Nuts, but he had to stick to it for two or three weeks, then he began to branch out a little with rice or an egg or two. He got entirely well in spite of his almost hopeless condition. He gained 22 pounds in two months which at his age is remarkable. "I could quote a list of cases where Grape-Nuts has worked wonders." "There's a Reason." Read "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. Ever read the above letter? A new one appears from time to time. They are routine, true, and full of human interest.

Living bachelor fashion at the White House {s not fraught with the same discomforts that beset the mere man who has his home “closed up on him,” when his wife goes away and is compelled to seek food and lodging as best he may. The president and Mrs. Taft divided the White House “help” jwhen the occupancy of the Beverly cottage was begun, so the president 4s well taken care of and domestic affairs at the White House run on much the same. The president, however, allowed Mrs. Taft to take the “first cook” to Beverly, while he is served by the “second cook,” who 1s a legacy from the Roosevelt administration.

His membership in a concern which is to operate steamboats of light draft between St. Paul and St. Louis and furnish wheat cargoes to ships at ‘New Orleans connecting with the lead- ing rail line, was announced recently. News now has come from Colorado that the San Luis Valley & Southern Railway Company has been projected, with Senator Lorimer of Illinois and Congressman Weeks of Massachusetts prominent among ‘ts incorporators.

Practically all of the Turkish tobacco comes from Samsoun, in the district of Trebizond. _ Large quantities of the Trebizond tobacco are sold by the Turkish grow- ers to Egypt, where it is used to brighten the tobacco obtained from other parts of Turkey. The Trebizond tobacco, according to the United States consular agents; is weak, has very lit- tle aroma and large, very light col- cored leaves which do not keep well. ‘The Samsoun and Bafra tobaccos are stronger, have more aroma, do not A Rae [vinowa] oe) ong Lr OU = [mr] peg BEET WSS TR REPRESENTATIVE, TAWNBY, who {s chairman of the house appro- priations committee and lives in W1- nona, Minn., read in the nrorning pa- pers the other day the itinerary of ‘Mr. Taft's western trip, and it did not mention Winona. Mr. Tawney is the man who engineered the $25,000 ap- propriation for the president's travel- ing expenses, and he called to find out about that Winona omission, The president agreed to put Winona on his traveling map, not, as he ex- plained, on account of the appropria- tion, but becarse he remembered a latory President Roosevelt had told. ‘The president has happily solved the problem of disposing of the long evenings by taking long autmobile rides about the city and suburbs. He usually starts out on these trips about 9:30 o'clock, returning to the White House at 11 or afterward. Capt. Arch- ibald Butt, the president’s aide, 1s al- ways his companion on these jour- neys and usually the president tele- phones an invitation to some cabinet officer, senator or representative, and stops at the guest's house or club to pick him up. The evening rides often extend out into the beautiful Rock Creek park, which stretches for miles along the little waterway whose name it bears. At other times Mr. Taft has his chauffeur drive about the city or on the Potomac park driveways, which skirt the river back of the White House and the monument grounds. Arising at about seven o'clock the president gives nearly an hour to dumb-bells, pulley weights and other forms of exercise prescribed for him. He breakfasts slowly and usually alone. During his morning meal and for half an hour or so afterward, the president reads the newspapers. Be- tween 9:30 and 10 he begins his busy day in the executive offices. At 1:30 comes luncheon at the White House— always with some invited guest for company. The afternoon is devoted to golf, for the president hopes to play every afternoon that he remains in Washington. Dinner always finds guests assembled and usually it 1s an informal and delightful meal, which begins a little after seven (Sock and sometimes continues for an hour and a half. scheme to exploit what is known as the Costilla land grant. The Costilla State Development Company, the Cos- tilla Power Company, and the Costilla Irrigation Company all have been launched with the railroad, and Sena- tor Lorimer and Congressman Weeks have shares in each. The president of the new railway company happens to be Franklin E. Brooks, who a few years ago «bly rep resented the state of Colorado at Washington as represen‘ative at large. Therein lies the story of how Messrs. Lorimer and Weeks were allowed to participate in the “good thing” out in Colorado. The most important house committee on which Mr. Brooks served while in congress was the com- mittee on agriculture. Mr. Lorimer and Mr. Weeks were fellow members. They sat side by side in many im- portant meetings of the committee during the packing house inquiry and the discussion of the pure food bill. Naturally they all became fast friends, and accordingly when Mr, Brooks re- turned to private life and visited the east in search of capital for his new projects he sought them out and won their approval and financial support. Thus {t was through his member- ship on the committee on acriculture that Mr. Lorimer itas been afforded the opportunity of becoming a rail- way magnate. bite the tongue and have small dark leaves. The most aromatic sorts are what are called Marden and Dere. The country where the best Turkish tobacco is grown is a low mountain- ous region bordering the south shore of the Black sea. The tobacco is grown, like the grapes, on the slopes of the hills, and the climate is always humid. A clear sky and bright sun are extremely rare. The methods of tobacco culture are primitive, and much is left to chance and nature; no systematic rotation of crops is practiced, no scientific fertilizing and there is little cultivation. In Trebizond the average yield 1s about 800 pounds of tobacco per acre. The leaves are put on strings, each quality by itself, and hung on poles in the open air. Then, when dry, they are put into a sweathouse. A good deal of the Turkish tobacco {s made up in Hungary for the American cigarette trade. In one factory in Fiune, Hun- gary, in the last year, 371,000,000 cig- arettes were manufactured. Some of the tobacco came from Brazil, Java ‘an4 Gumatre. President Roosevelt was touring the west waen he came to Minnesota. In his itinerary, too, Winona was omitted. Mr. Tawney boarded the train up the line and asked for a quarter-hour stop and speech in his town, Secretary Loeb sald it would be impossible, as they were going somewhere else and had to hurry or they would be late, Then Mr. Tawney looked up the district passenger agent of the road, who was on the train. For some reason, not yet entirely ex- plained, the engine got out of order when Winona was reached, and it took the engineer 20 minutes to find the fault and fix It. In the meantime Mr. Tawney had introduced Mr. Roosevelt to a large crowd of his admiring townsmen, and the president had made a speech. Mr. Taft sald he was convinced he would have to stop at Winona anyhow, and he might as well promise to do so now. “THE GREAT SEAL” Affixed Only to Papers Signed by the President. History of Its Development Down to the Present Time—Franklin’s Ob- Jection to the Eagle as the National Bird. Washington.—Gaillard Hunt, chief of the division of manuscripts, has just completed a historical sketch of the Great Seal of the United States, the sketch telling of the various stages of development through which the seal went before the one now in use was finally adopted. When the continental congress made the obverse of the great seal the national arms it intended that the de- vice should pass into common use among the people, as the flag had done, and, like the flag, the arms at first met with general approval, which soon gave place to an acceptance of it as an emblem of the power and sov- erelgnty of the United States, which placed it above criticism. Not all the fathers of the republic, however, were pleased with the selec- tion of the eagle as the national em- blem. When the badge of the Order of the Society of the Cincinnati was made in France in 1784 it was object- ed to by some because the displayed eagle resembled a turkey. “Fon my part,” wrote Benjamin Franklin, January 26, 1784, to his daughter, “I wish the bald eagle had not been chosen as the representative of our country; he does not get his liv: ing honestly; you may have seen him perched on some dead tree, where, too Nasy ito fab for himasit™ ne watehen EN \ £ \ . } a i ‘ ) =\ » Ft ~ £2 Vw age A fo gy es 3 | Se fa Ee -" ae Gaiilard Hunt. the labor of the fishing hawk, and, when that diligent bird has at length taken a fish and is bearing it to his nest for the support of his mate and young ones, the bald eagle pursues him and takes it from him, With all this injustice he is never in good taste; but, like those among men who live by sharping and robbing, he is generally poor and often very lousy. Besides, he {s a rank coward; the lit- tle kingbird, not bigger than a spar- row, attacks him boldly and drives him out of the district. He 1s there- fore by no means a proper emblem for the brave and honest Cincinnati of America, who have driven all the kingbirds from our country.” The seal itself has, of course, a very limited use, which is strictly guarded by law. The secretary of state is its custodian, but even he has no author!- ty to affix it to any paper that does not bear the president's signature. In 1803 Chief Justice Marshall, in delivering an opinion of the supreme court, used the following language rel- ative to the seal: It may be consid- ered applicable to all instruments to which the seal is affixed: “The signature (of the president) is a warrant for affixing the great seal to the commission, and the great seal 4s only to be affixed to an instrument which is complete. It attests, by an act supposed to be of public notoriety, the verity of the presidential’ signa- ture. “It 18 never to be affixed till the commission is signed, because the sig- nature which gives force and effect to the commission {s conclusive evidence that the appointment is made. “Phe commission being signed, the subsequent duty of the secretary of state is prescribed by law, and not to be guided by the will of the president. He is to affix the seal of the United States to the commission, and is to record it.” At the present time the seal of the United States is affixed to the com- missions of all cabinet officers and diplomatic and consular officers who are nominated by the president and confirmed by the senate; all ceremo- nious communications from the presi- dent to the ‘heads ot foreign govern- ments; all treaties, conventions and formal agreements of the president with foreign powers; all proclama- tions by the president; all exequators to foreign consular officers in the Uni- ted States who are appointed by the heads of the governments which they represent; to warrants by the presi- dent to receive persons surrendered by foreign governments under extra- dition treaties, and to all miscella- neous commissions of civil officers ap- pointed by the president, by and with the advice and consent of the senate, whose appointments are not now es- pecially directed by law to be signed under a different seal, 2 AND SIX MONTH’S FREE MUSIC LESSONS WITH EACH PIANO PURCHASED THIS WEEK ONE UPRIGHT PLANO WOR (c.<ceacccscesisiasec.osscecsieesei ce veseieses oes @ SOLO ANOTHER ONE ROR n..2-encstsnt.oee te seeseossasdornaidiisvilensceat sist tines 1 SOO ASTRIN WAS WOR) tasige a. caieot' cto seasis cute cones otesisstenss code secs noses SES OOO A ‘F600 DECKER UBROSH BOR (sp aco one ouioe Soigcesc's tae seis esis ste soins o's Sha OO \ $300 SPAULDING, LESS THAN 10 MONTHS OLD, FOR..................-. $198.00 A $350 PIANO, PRACTICALLY AS GOOD AS NEW, FOR.................---. $215.00 A $400 PIANO, SLIGHTLY USED, FOR ...........0s0cceecsscesccscccesssees $235.00 A $450 PIANO, LESS THAN 1 YEAR OLD, FOR ...............-s2-+0.00+2+-- $265.00 A $500 PIANO, USED SOME (EXTRA GOOD DEAL) FOR...............-.... $335.00 And Many Other Bargains Too Numerous to Mention in STEGER, CHICKERING, BUSH & GERTS, KRELL, JACOB DOLL, STODART, LESTER AND STEIN HAUSER PIANOS So that ere may have an opportunity to buy a Piano at this Sale, we will sell you a Piano for $2.50 We Guarantee to Sell ion and $i por'wesk payments, with Pianos at This Sale SIX MONTHS FREE Cheaper Than Any Other Dealer in the City MUSIC LESSONS Come in at once and avail yourself of a choice of these Bargains and easy terms with the FREE MUSIC LESSONS. ; gil nae ‘ es ee G b | Ni | C i 920-924 FIFTEENTH STREET, CHARLES BUILDING DENVBR, COLORADO } Superior Laundry Ca ey ALL HAND WORK.

Purther particulars on application ARE WE ALL SPORTS ? ‘THe NegRo’s interest in sport seems to be a little abnormal, with pugilism in the foreground. It is hard to find a Negro minister, edu- cator or other advanced light, who does not take some interest in the championship bouts in which Negroes take part. Booker ‘T. Washing- ton has lauded both Jack Johnson and Joe Gans in several of his set addresses. Most of the leading Negro newspapers of the country run regular “sporting”? columns and jolly all kinds of otherwise un- known Negro sports. And it is always the professional side to which we lean. While this state of things continues it is going to be pretty hard for any Negro community to rid itself of its gamblers, loafers and sharps, as we are advised to do, and the effort to do so seems a little inconsistent. THE PARTY OF GREATEST INTEREST. Sometimes men plan carefully the carrying out of certain objects, without ever stopping to think what somebody else, who is largely affected by the plan, will have to say about it. The desire to see our own aims triumph is often so great that we forget to consider the interests of othérs, according to their true im- portance, And sometimes these one-sided aims run against counter aims so great that the resulting conflict reveals to all concerned the fact that the party left out of first consideration has a far greater interest in the object sought than has the one who mapped out the course which was expected to make unalterable history. ‘The new order of things in the South by which the Negro is to be made ineligi- ble for appointment by the administration at Washington to political offices which white men only may fill without objection or prejudice, is getting some unexpected bumps from those who were expected to have nothing to say. Under encouragement of the new plan, the movement to make the Republican party in the South exclusively a white man’s party has become very active and the colored man is zlready beginning to find himself an unconsidered politieal element. But down in Virginia they are starting a movement by whieh the colored brother hopes to demonstrate that his interest in the mat- ter is not altogether that of a bystander. A call has been issued to the leading colored men of the State to come together and consider plans by which a convention of their own may be held, and a ticket of their own may be placed in the field for the coming fall campaign. If the Negro vote in Virginia is organized and concentrated be- hind such a movement, it is liable to produce some odd results. Purely state offices may not be seriously affected by it, but Congressional can- didates and candidates for county and lacal offices may find them- selves engaged in such a series of three-cornered fights as may give a new turn to affairs in the ‘‘Old Dominion.’’ The campaigns by which General Mahone was twice sent to Congress may have their counterparts in several Congressional distriets in Virginia, and the local aspect which the new movement will arouse will make more than one community do some tall hustling and probably some taller count- ing. It is possible that Virginia might have some Negroes in her next Legislature. But even if the first campaign prove a failure, an inde- pendent strength would be asserted of sufficient importance to give a subsequent effort profound respect. Chinese Postal System Advancing. Since the establishment of the post office in China ten years ago no en terprise in China has shown such rj id development. Its few straggling or- fices have increased to considerably over 2,000, and during the last year the articles handled increased from 76,000,000 to nearly 113,000,000. Par cels, which numbered a few over 1,000,000 in 1905, have reached 1,383. 900, while money order transactions daring the last year have risen from $589,550 to $1,100,410, Anticipating Misfortune. Not only do we suffer much in the anticipation of evil, as “Noah lived many years under the affliction of a flood, and Jerusalem was taken unto Jeremy before it was besieged,” but ‘we often distress ourselves greatly in the apprehension of misfortunes which, after all, never happen at all. ‘We should do our best and wait calm- ly the result. We often hear of peo- ple breaking down from overwork, but In nine cases out of ten they are real ly suffering from worry and anxiety.— Bir John Lubbock. Clock That Tells Much. One of the most wonderful clocks in existence is now in the possession of Louis Desoutter, who has had the honor of taking it to Buckingham palace for inspection by the queen. Her majesty showed great interest ir its beautiful mechanism. The clock is fixed on a Louis Seize stand and has four faces. Besides marking the hours, it shows the tides at six different parts of the world, the mean time and the solar time, the age of the moon, the movements of the pianets, all eclipses, and Is a perpecual calendar. It was made by Jawvier ct Paris In 1789 for the French Academy and took 11 years to manufacture; the workmanship is magnificent—Londor Evening Standard. A Boston woman seeking divorce says her husband drinks 60 gallons of whisky a month. Her estimate {s probably an exaggeration. It not, it explains why the average per capita consumption of liquor is so high among this sober people.—Rochester Herald, pepper srames 3 nee An Exolanation. Life’s | Essentials By JOHN A. HOBSON MPRA clothing, shelter of the low skilled town laborer, that which was a just enough to maintain the efficiency of labor and to enable BS4aq them to replace themselves by their children in the labor mar- (Ci ket? Not so. he full physical life of these people is not thus secured. On the contrary, vital statistics show that they are robbed on an average of the life which they might reasonably expect to have if they enjoyed the physical conditions of the life above them. heir chil- dren, moreover, have much less than half the chance of growing to matur- ity possessed by the children of professional men. Good air, large, sanitary houses, plenty of wholesome, well cooked food, adequate changes of clothing for the climate, ample opportunities of recreation—is there any one of these things that does not sensibly assist to lengthen the term of physical life? Yet most, if not all, of these things would be classed among com- forts or even luxuries for laborers, though numbers of the well-to-do classes would readily admit that they were necessaries for them. Again, take art, musie, travel, education, social intercourse, such “goods” as generally would be classed as luxuries. Does not physiology itself insist that these and all other things which make for happMess react upon physical health and help to maintain life? The true economy of leisure, change and enjoyment, even in their effects upon duration of physical life, is only beginning to find recognition in our theory of con- sumption. But suppose we had ascertained what particular sum of money suf- ficed to maintain full length of life, does this exhaust “necessaries ?” We have spoken so far of physical life and tested necessaries on thit: basis. But physical, moral, intellectual are not water tight oompart- ments of humanity. Whether we.regard the organic interaction of all these vital powers or take into’our consideration the moral and intellectual needs and satie- factions as claims of nature which emerge later on, there is no excuse for refusing to admit the latter as necessary to life, considered as the whole, which it rightly is with the idea that they are conferring a favor upon their employer, that they will be of such invaluable assistance to him that he will not object to certain little liberties. Or else they lie back on the fact that they are women and he is a man and conseuently out of his sense of gallantry will permit certain laxities. Still others actually fail to realize that the busi- ness office is not the home. Perhaps one of the most abused of these privileges is the telephune. What office doesn’t know the girl who is constantly being called up on the telephone by her numerous friends! If she has a fair amount of vanity she secretly rejoices that her fellow-workers have the opportunity to find out how popular she is. If she is inexperienced she thinks her employer won't mind a little thing like that. Visits from friends in the oifice are along the same line. Being a gentleman, the employer doesn’t like exactly to be disagreeable about it. But a business girl ought to know that such things are not businesslike and she should tactfully discourage them. Business is business. It means an honest return of time and energy for the salary received, exactly that. It doesn’t mean entertaining one’s friends, using the telephone, writing letters on the firm’s paper, using the firm’s postage stamps and many other little liberties the young business girl takes. T have been experimenting on my dietary ever since I have done office work and in a word my conclusion is that nearly every man who leads a sedentary life eats too much meat. It is along this theory that I have proceeded to readjust my daily fare, for after having been active in athletics since boyhood I found that I was continuing the heavy meat diet even when my work was confined mostly to my desk. I was suffering from the effects of overeating long before I realized the cause was to be found in heavy breakfasts and luncheons. 1 think that every man gives more atten. tion to his food in hot weather and it was during the summer months that 1 first tried very light breakfasts and progressed until I was satisfied with crackers and milk for luncheon. In cold weather, however, I returned to meat for luncheons, but I soon found that the bracing air had given me a false appetite and for several hours after luncheon I would experience the old feeling of drowsiness. And this reminds me of a theory of mine that we eat too much in the cold months. Although I am not a vegetarian and eat meat usually once a day at dinner, I think that nearly everybody who experiments with various sorts of meals and notes the effect on his health and capacity for work will find that he feels better when he limits the amount of meat in his menu. That has been the reason why I have changed my diet and I might say that once a man has hit upon a dietary adjusted to his own needs he can find the best of everything right here in New York. This city, I believe, is excelled by none in the purity of its food supply. As an indication of this I may say that we have condemned 21,000,000 pounds of food here during the last twelve months and that about one- third of this was meat ® Women Lack in Business Ethics By MARTHA CLARK Content Obtained by Limiting Diet By BAYARD C. FULLER What They Really Are and Why So Girls are taught bookkeeping and stenography and other essentials of a busi- ness career. But they are not always post- ed on business ethies. After a few months or a few years in business, a woman learns some of the little ethical things of busi- ness for which no course is given in the business college.

The picnic and excursion given by Zion Baptist Sunday School last Thursday at Glacier Lake was largely attended. It required twelve coaches to accommodate the crowd. Glacier Lake is a beautiful place and everyone spent a very enjoyable day. --- The State Negroes Business League met at Zion Baptist church Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock. President Bray, presiding. At the evening session Professor Patterson of Western University made a splendid talk. On Wednesday the election of officers occurred. The League has many new points and hopes to be of service to the people of the state. Prof. J. E. Patterson, dean of arts and science of Western University, Quindaro, Kan., is in the city soliciting students for the university. Those who are interested in the education of the young men and women of our race, or who contemplate entering college, would do well to talk with him. He will be at the churches Sunday and deliver addresses on education and the advantages of a college training. During his talk before the convention of the State Business League, S. H. Tarbet spoke of the unfair methods of the Union Health and Sick Insurance Company, whose offices are in the Arapahoe building, in dealing with the colored people, as they are, according to the report of the insurance commissioner, taking advantage of the ignorance of many of our people. He cited the case of his late wife, whose policy they refuse to pay. The Mite Missionary Societies tendered the Misterial Alliance an annual outing at the City Park Monday, at which meeting a general report was read, showing the progress it had made during the year. Bishop A. Grant and Professor Wright were the principal speakers. Every one of the Colored Protestant churches was represented and a spirit of good fellowship was quite noticeable. Even the old were as sprightly as the youngsters in their movements about the grounds. Spreading their tables for lunches, which were prepared only as our grandmothers and mothers know how to prepare them, to whom all honor is due. ADDRESS DELIVERED BY O.T.JACKSONBEFORE THE STATE BUSINESS LEAGUE. ADDRESS DELIVERED BY O.T.JACKSONBEFORE THE STATE BUSINESS LEAGUE. Mr. President, Members of the League, Ladies and Gentlemen: The Negro Townsite and Land Company—The name of that organization appeals to me more forcibly than The German Land Company, the Swedish settlement, or a colony with some foreign name. The Negro Townsite and Land Company indicates that the Negroes have organized for the purpose of securing for themselves their proportion of the land. This generation may not reach the stake that has been set afar off for our young people by the incorporation of the Negro Townsite and Land Company, but History will record that an attempt was made by race men and women of this generation to lay a solid foundation for the building of race independence upon the soil. As Ruskin has so aptly expressed: "When we build, let us think that we build forever. Let it not be for the present delight, nor for present use alone; let it be such work as our descendants will thank us for, and let us think, as we lay stone on stone, that a time is to come when those stones will be held sacred because our hands touched them, and that men will say, as they look upon the labor and wrought substances of them: 'See! This our fathers did for us.' " The Negro Townsite and Land Company has for its object not only the establishing of a strong and substantial company composed of reliable men and women, but is using every effort to get our people interested in the important matter of owning land, and securing it while it is within their reach so far as the price per acre and government filings are concerned. The directors of the Negro Townsite and Land Company are not altogether concerned as to whether you buy land in a district that will be established by the Negro Townsite and Land Company, or whether you secure land in some other district, as the Negro Townsite and Land Company has a charter that covers other branches of mercantile business and will be in a position to reach a Negro farmer though he be located in South Africa. Our chief object is to establish a Negro district and town in Colorado. A farming district with a town in its community, owned and controlled by our people, according to the laws of Colorado, will do more good towards establishing race independence and race respect than all the boss politicians can do by claiming political patronage for our votes. It is the duty of every man and woman of voting age to cast their vote for some party, in order to maintain their citizenship. It requires taxes to support the municipal and state governments. When it comes to giving out jobs, any administration in power is more duty bound to recognize the person who pays taxes on land, than it is to recognize the demands of the boss politicians on account of the votes he claims to have herded to the poles. The time has gone for us to realize our expectation that the white race will set aside their own to make way for our children and provide a substantial future for our race. The laws of Colorado are equal and the advantages are equal for any race or class to establish their independence in this state upon the soil. People of other nations have established settlements in this state in the last few years and have surpassed us who have lived here for years without taking advantage of the early opportunities which were much easier than today's. Shall we sit idle and wait until all opportunities are closed up, and prove our inability to shift for ourselves? The Negro Townsite and Land Company's answer is NO. We propose to make the start, and if we do no more than awaken an interest among the people to take individual action, we will feel that we have been of some service to the race. If, after investigation of the present incorporated company, you find that it is not organized satisfactorily, and some better plan can be presented, I am sure that not one dissenting voice will be heard from the management of the Negro Townsite and Land Company. The directors of this company are men in fair circumstances and have no other interest than that of race building. The directors have agreed to serve for the first year without compensation, either in cash or stock, and have paid 100 cents on the dollar for what stock they have in their possession. There are stockholders who own and have paid for more stock than any one director possesses. The future of a Negro farming district and the Negro Townsite and Land Company is up to you who have subscribed and those who are interested in the future of the race, and the directors await your orders. As we are simply the servants of the stockholders, according to the laws of Colorado, for the Negro Townsite and Land Company was suggested by the Colorado State Negro Business League, we invite the members to call at the office and thoroughly acquaint themselves with the proceedings of the company, and we hope that this League will not stop at the promotion of the Negro Townsite and Land Company, but will appoint committees to promote other enterprises that are necessary to the race's progress and the Negro Townsite and Land Company's success. The Colorado State Negro Business League is to our race what the Chamber of Commerce it to the commercial interests of Denver and hence every enterprise that is suggested or approved by our League should receive the support of the race.

McMAHAN'S PRESCRIPTION PHARMACY PLANS OF NEW DENVER AIRSHIP PLANS OF NEW DENVER AIRSHIP ONE TUBE OF PROJECTED TWO TUBE HELICOPTER LIFTS 400 POUNDS. SUCCESSFULLY TESTED INVENTION OF JOHN M. CAGE, DESIGNER OF PROMISING SUBMARINE VESSEL. Denver.—Driven at an amazing speed by a 30-horsepower electric motor, two two-blaided propellers, revolving opposite directions inside a steel and canvas tube six feet in diameter and eight feet in length, daily are demonstrating at the Mitchell machine shop, 1225 Eighth street, that Denver may soon be recognized by the world of aviators and aviation. Daily, says the Denver Republican, professors of science in Colorado universities, expert mechanics and common-sensical business men gather in the little loft of the machine shop, are shown by John M. Cage, the youthful inventor of the apparatus and the inventor of the Cage submarine boat, which is creating more than passing interest among the naval authorities of Washington and of the world, just what his model can do, and leave the shop with their cynicism gone, or, if not entirely dissipated, existing only doubtfully. Although only a model designed to show that the problem of harnessing the air and making it lift weight for man is one which has been solved to some extent, at least, the apparatus has satisfied many of the experts in aviation matters. Not an airship, not even the model of an airship, the helicopter,—for that is what it is, somewhat improved in construction—represents only one-half the lifting power, for the machine will have two of the "flyers" designed for the airship planned by young Cage. The method of driving the air through the tub is unique, also, the first propellers grasping the air just inside the tube opening and whirling it backward and to the right. Immediately below the first propellers are located other propellers working in the opposite direction, which act against the counter current of air with even greater force and effectiveness than do the first propellers. By this means the "swirling" of the air, so fatal to the hopes of inventors who have tried the helicopter system in different fashions, is done away with. This scheme also reduces to a minimum the "slip" of the blade in the air, even though the blade is stationary. The center of the helicopter is attached to a beam thirty-six feet long, in the center of which is a pivot, and the other end of the beam is set on scales that record the exact lift, which amounts to 400 pounds and upward. Until the airship itself is built, of course, the actual practicability of the invention cannot be known. Theoretically, according to disinterested parties who have viewed the demonstrations, it should work out at least to the extent of raising the machine into the air, as the machine and driver will weigh less than 800 pounds, even with a 100 horsepower motor. Steam will probably be the motive power. Care has been taken to provide for the safe descent of machine and operator should the mechanism give way or anything break. Also a new covering, lighter and stronger than any balloon or flying machine covering ever invented, has been conceived by young Cage. This is now in the "patent applied for" class, as is the safety floating device for use in the case of accidents to mechanism. The plan of driving the helicopter machine after it rises into the air is very simple, being merely to turn the helicopters forward, thus giving a backward as well as an upward thrust, and at the same time increasing the power applied to the propellers. Thus the power necessary to overcome the force of gravity will be continuous and the extra force will be applied in "pushing" or "pulling" the machine forward. After a sufficient speed forward has been acquired, the under part of the helicopter tube will act as a supporting surface against the air, thus enabling almost the entire power of the helicopter to be used in driving the machine forward. Such are the plans and the claims of those interested, supported by men interested in such affairs and who have worked out the problem—on paper. An effort will be made to have the ship built and in working trim in time for the big aero contest in the East in October. Among the men interested in the project and officers of the Cage Aviation company are: Frank S. Thayer, president; Lyman B. Stone, secretary and treasurer; John M. Cage, general manager; H. M. Spicer, Walter L. Newsm and Watt G. Sheldon, directors, and Judge Ben B. Lindsey. There are many others of prominence who are silent partners and stockholders in the company. Amnesty to Austrian Deserters. Manchester-by-the-Sea, Mass. — Detailed instructions in regard to the manner in which certain classes of deserters from the Austro-Hungarian army and navy may obtain amnesty from their imperial government have been made public by Baron L. Ambrosy, charge d'affaires of the Austro-Hungarian embassy. It is known that a number of deserters are in America and it is believed at the embassy that many of them will grasp the opportunity to procure amnesty by applying to the nearest consular office. AROUND THE HOUSE MATTERS OF GENERAL INTEREST AND IMPORTANCE. Effective Method of Drying the Small Articles That Are So Bothersome —To Preserve Cook Book— Laundry Convenience. A Drying Hint.—Every washerwoman knows the nuisance of hanging out a large family's dolls, and other small articles. To pin them to the line takes time and patience. One old colored woman has hit on a plan of drying that saves her many minutes. She had her mistress make her a long, shallow bag of strong, white mosquito netting, with a drawstring at the top and tapes sewed at the corners and at intervals of three or four inches between. When the smaller articles were ready for hanging on the line they were laid carefully in the bag, the string drawn up so they would not blow out, and the bag pinned to the line by the tapes for the sun and air to filter through the open meshes of the net. To Preserve a Cook Book.—Every housekeeper knows how her cook books suffer if they must be taken to the kitchen. Some women write off favorite recipes rather than give a valuable cook book to careless servants. When this is out of the question or too much trouble, try the plan of having a sheet of transparent isglass cut a little larger than the book when opened. The corners can be weighted by gluing on a heavy flat button to each corner. These help to keep the book open at the desired place. Insist upon having the sheet placed over the open pages while the recipe is being used. A pane of glass can be used in the same way, but there is danger of cutting the fingers unless the edges are bound with heavy paper or a piece of colored muslin. Laundry Convenience.—A woman who is doing over her house adding a new laundry has hit upon a plan for indoor drying that will mean less terror on rainy wash days. Around two sides of her laundry she has run a shelf about six or eight inches wide, at the height of a low plate rail. Under this shelf are hooks, any number of them, on which the clothes can be hung when they cannot go on the lines out of doors. The shelves are convenient places to stow irons, pots and pans that are not in everyday use, boxes of soap, and all the other odds and ends that are so cluttery in a closet. Eccles Cake. Line a sheet tin 14 by 9 inches with pastry. Wash and pick over one-half pound of currants and spread evenly over pastry. One egg, two-third cup of sugar mixed together just enough to make a thick paste. Don't beat the egg, but just mix it with a fork. Then trail it from the end of fork all over the currants. Grate a little nutmeg over and on top crust. Cut both crusts up on the sides of tin about half an inch, then double over flat to prevent boiling out. Be careful not to bake too much or the interior will be hard. Watch closely and just bake until a delicate brown. Irish Moss Blanc Mange. One-half cup Irish moss, four cups milk, one-quarter teaspoon salt, $1\frac{1}{2}$ teaspoons vanilla; soak moss 15 minutes in cold water to cover, drain, pick over and add to the milk; cook in double boiler 30 minutes. The milk will seem but little thicker than when put on to cook, but if cooked longer blanc mange will be too stiff. Add salt, strain flavor, re-strain and fill individual molds, previously dipped in cold water; chill, turn on glass dish, surround with thin slices of banana and place a slice on each mold. Serve with sugar and cream. Squash Soup. One cupful of boiled squash pressed through a sieve. Stir into the squash a teaspoonful each of salt and sugar, a dash of pepper, a pinch of mace and a tablespoonful of onion juice and either a little minced celery or a dash of celery salt. Place on the stove and stir until the squash is heated through. Pour over it a quart of hot milk, to which has been added a pinch of soda. Stir two tablespoonfuls of butter and one of flour into the soup. Continue to stir until the soup begins to thicken. Serve immediately. When Preparing Rice. Instead of washing rice half a dozen times in cold water to remove the starch rinse twice in very hot water and the same results are gained. Few northerners succeed in getting the separated grains, such as are always seen on southern tables. To obtain them throw rice slowly into rapidly-bolling, slightly-salted water, and cook 20 minutes uncovered. Drain, add a tablespoonful of butter, and toss gently with fork. Dry in a hot oven for about five minutes. Serve uncovered. Moths in the Carpet. If moths have attacked a carpet try putting gasoline around the edges, soaking the nap of the carpet. Also work powdered borax into the carpet wherever there is sign of moths or under heavy pieces of furniture which cannot easily be moved in the weekly sweeping. Lemon Pie. Take yellow rind of one lemon (grated), the juice of three, $2\frac{1}{2}$ cups of sugar, three eggs, two crackers rolled fine. Bake with two crusts. Makes three bles.

Stuart, who is said to have been confidential secretary of James Hazen Hyde when the latter was vicepresident of the Equitable Life Assurance society of New York, committed suicide a few days since at Mukiltoe, a lumber camp near Everett, Wash. Four bolts of lightning struck the residence of John H. Slington at American Forks, Utah, killing his wife, rendering himself and his four-year-old son unconscious, and knocking down his brother and a neighbor who came to their assistance. At St. Louis recently a private car filled with mourners and flowers conveyed in a plush coffin the body of George, a setter dog, to its last resting place in De Hodiamont Cemetery. The setter was the property of Frank Cleary and had been in the family ten years. Owen Rowley laughed himself to death at Chicago a few nights since. His cousin, Edward Rowley, told a funny story while they were sitting on an iron railing, and Owen's spasm of mirth shook him off into the basement fifteen feet below, breaking his spine. Albert Ryan, organizing secretary of the Western Federation of Miners at Los Angeles, who is accused of the murder of H. E. Snider, a mining man, who was shot and killed when Ryan shot Otto Miller, who later died of the injury, has been held without ball to answer to the charge of murder. The Nebraska Republican convention at Lincoln July 27th unanimously adopted resolutions approving President Taft's attempt to secure a downward revision of the tariff and stating that Nebraska Republicans would approve his use of the veto power on a measure which did not accord with his ideas of tariff revision. A telegram was sent President Taft notifying him of the convention's action. President J. E. Chilberg of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exposition at Seattle has sent dispatches to Louis Bieriot, Hubert Latham, the Wright brothers and T. C. Curtis, offering a prize of $5,000 and gold medals for a competitive aeroplane race beginning on the world's fair stadium and extending over Lake Washington, which is twenty-two miles long and one end of which touches the world's fair grounds. GENERAL NEWS. Baron De Forest has offered a prize of $20,000 to the first British aeronauts to cross the channel in a British built aeroplane in record time. The German war office has taken over a second Zeppelin airship after severe tests. The airship made an ascent during a thunderstorm and reached an altitude of 3,000 feet. Crete has been evacuated by the four protecting powers—Great Britain, France, Russia and Italy—whose troops left Sunday and Monday. There is great rejoicing among the inhabitants. Miss Morgan, daughter of J. Pierpont Morgan, of New York, recently made a trip at Nancy, France, aboard the dirigible balloon Villa de Nancy. The new Persian government is prepared to offer Mohammed Ali Mirza, the ex-shah of Persia, an annual pension of $25,000 on condition that he leaves Persia without delay. The Aero Club of Great Britain, after handing M. Bleriot his 1,000-pound prize in a silver cup, decided to present him with a gold medal similar to the one conferred on Wilbur and Orville Wright, the American aeroplanists, in London last May.

Action taken in the Supreme Court of New York on three state indictments against Charles W. Morse, the former banker, resulted in Morse's discharge on his own recognizance on two of the indictments, charging grand larceny and the reduction of bail on a perfury indictment to $5,000. General Brun, the new French minister of war, commenting on Louis Bleriot's feat in flying across the English channel, said: "The aeroplane is less vulnerable and more rapid and cheaper than the dirigible, and as soon as it is perfect the French army will be provided with a swarm of these wasps." Tribesmen from various points are flicking to Melilla and preaching a holy war against Spain. This has resulted in making the Moorish uprising much more stubborn. Estimates of the Spanish losses thus far have been raised to 400 killed or wounded. The mountain passes are filled with the dead bodies of Moors. Louis Bleriot, the French aviator, accomplished the remarkable feat of flying across the English Channel Sunday morning, July 25th, in twenty-three minutes.

The bridge crosses the river between two large glaciers, the Miles and Childs, the latter having a frontage on the river varying from 300 to 700 feet. Huge masses of ice weighing hundreds of tons break away from the face and plunge into the river with a report like the roar of a cannon. NEWS FROM WASHINGTON.

This splendid new ship, which thus far is the speediest war vessel of her class, will make the navy's twenty-eighth first-class battleship The Democratic congressional committee will endeavor to win a majority in the next congressional election. The executive committee has been announced by Chairman Lloyd as follows: Hainey, of Illinois; Finley, of South Carolina; Johnson, of Kentucky; Hitchcock, of Nebraska, and Palmer, of Pennsylvania.

President Taft has decided that he will make the trip down the Mississippi river from St. Louis to New Orleans late in October, as the guest of the deep waterways convention, which will be held in New Orleans upon his arrival there. The date of the President's meeting with President Diaz of Mexico at El Paso, Tex., has definitely been set for October 18th. The President will spend October 19th at San Antonio, Tex., and will then make a four days' visit to the ranch of his brother, Charles P. Taft, near Corpus Christi Good Little Story Told by William Dean Howells as a Rebuke to Spread-Eagleism. "It was William Dean Howells," said a Chicago editor, "who first rebuked us Americans for our spread-eagleism, for our foolish boasting. I see that Mr. Howells has just joined a men's society for the promotion of woman suffrage. Trust him to be in the forefront always. "I once heard Mr. Howells deliver a fourth of July oration in Maine. The orator preceding him had boasted a good deal. Mr. Howells showed that some of the man's boasts were even impious. "He said that these spread-eagle boasters deserved the rebuke that the little child administered to the cack-ling hen that had just laid an egg. The child, angered by the hen's continuous cawk-cawk-cawk, cawk-cawk-cawk-cawk, shook his little finger at her and said: "You fink you're smart. But Dod made dat egg. You couldn't help but lav it!" SKIN ERUPTION CURED. Was So Sore, Irritating and Painful That Little Sufferer Could Not Sleep —Scratched Constantly. Cuticura's Efficacy Clearly Proven. "When about two and a half years old my daughter broke out on her hips and the upper parts of her legs with a very irritating and painful eruption. It began in October; the first I noticed was a little red surface and a constant desire on her part to scratch her limbs. She could not sleep and the eruptions got sore, and yellow water came out of them. I had two doctors treat her, but she grew worse under their treatment. Then I bought the Cuticura Remedies and only used them two weeks when she was entirely well. This was in February. She has never had another rough place on her skin, and she is now fourteen years old. Mrs. R. R. Whitaker, Winchester, Tenn., Sept. 22, 1908." Potter Drug & Chem. Corp., Sole Props., Boston. The Thrifty Scot. A Scotsman and his wife were coming from Leith to London by boat. When off the Yorkshire coast a great storm arose and the vessel had several narrow escapes from foundering. "Oh, Sandy," moaned his wife, "I'm na afeard o' deein', but I dinna care to dee at sea." "Dinna think o' deein' yet," answered Sandy; "but when ye do, ye'd better be drooned at sea than anywhere else." "An' why, Sandy?" asked his wife. "Why?" exclaimed Sandy. "Because ye wouldn't cost sae muckle to bury." Law of Attraction. The attractions of men to women and women to men are full of the most perplexing inconsistencies and contradictions imaginable. It is, for instance, a physical law that magnetism is not simple attraction of one thing for another, but the difference of two opposing forces of attraction and repulsion, of which the former is the greater. The same law holds in relation to the attraction of men and women for each other, in which, as a rule, the masculine is the superior force.—T. P.'s Weekly, London. A. Baseball Preacher. It was just at the beginning of the baseball season when an Episcopal clergyman, who is an ardent and enthusiastic lover of the great American game, inadvertently remarked at the end of the portion of Scriptures which he read: "Here endeth the first innings." Then he woke up. CASTORIA The Kind You Have Always Bought, and which has been in use for over 30 years, has borne the signature of and has been made under his personal supervision since its infancy.

Hired Man's Remarks Could Hardly Be Said to Be in Nature of of Compliment. The young lawyer, having been nominated for the office of county attorney, thought to surprise an eccentric genius by the name of Si who was working as a hired man on the young lawyer's father's farm. "Well, Si, what do you think?" the young man began. "Sometimes one thing, Lonny, an sometimes 'nother." "But, Si, they have nominated me for county attorney." "They might 'a' done worse, Lonny. Howsomever, don't holler till you're out of the woods." The young attorney was duly elected, and on his next visit to the farm announced the fact unctuously to Si, who was at the woodpile, saw in hand. "Well, Si, I am elected by a large majority. What do you think of that?" "Well, Lonny, down in our parts where I was raised, when we wanted a stopper 'n' hadn't any cork, we generally took a corn cob."—Youth's Companion. VERY ABRUPT.

He Bit The city man was jogging on toward the summer boarding-house in a rickety old wagon. The driver was glum and far from entertaining, and the city man felt rather lonely. "Fine field over there," he ventured, after a long silence. "Fine," grunted the driver. "Who owns it?" "Old man Bitt." "Old man Bitt, eh? Who are those children stacking up hay?" "Old man Bitt's boys." "And what is his idea in having them out there in the field such a hot day?" "Wal, I reckon he thinks every little Bitt helps, stranger. Anything else you want to know? Get up here, hosses." Reputations. "The Autocrat," remarked the Recondite Person, "made a remark the import of which escaped me until the other day. He said: 'Many a man has a reputation because of the reputation he expects to have some day.'" "That's not a half bad remark," suggested the Practical Person, "but my son—just out from college, you know, and in the habit of thinking humpbacked thoughts, as it were—said something only this morning that appealed to me: 'Some men,' he said, 'get a reputation and keep it; other men get a reputation and make it keep them.'" The other day we saw an angry woman in a street car and her face was anything but a pleasant picture. She was angry at the conductor, entirely without cause, and that made her look more terrible than if she had had a real grievance.—Nebraska Journal. How much better it is that he should speak ill of me to all the world than that all the world should speak ill of me to him.—Torquato Tasso.

Should Always Be Done from the Bottom—Two Methods That Are Recommended. PLAITINGS RETURN TO FAVOR. Advent of Fussy Dresses of a Former Period Are Responsible for Revival. To shorten a skirt do so from the bottom, either by making tucks or cutting off the number of inches from the ground to make it the desired length. When a skirt is to be lengthened, do not attempt to piece it at the top. One way to lengthen the skirt is to turn it off evenly from the floor, measure the difference between the length desired and that which the skirt has after it is trimmed evenly. Cut a piece of material twice the number of inches in width required to make the desired length, and as many inches around as the skirt measures. Allow one-half inch on all seams. Join this extra piece to the skirt proper, with the seam on the right side. Press it flat with the edge down. Turn the added piece up on the right side. Measure from the waist line down the length of the skirt, and turn the balance of the piece up on the right side. Fold in half an inch at the edge, and baste the edge over the joining. Stitch a double row of stitching, sewing on the applied hem, one at the extreme edge and the other about one-quarter of an inch from it. Press this flat, and you have a trimming as well as an added length. A SIMPLE BODICE. 10 For either cloth, serge, or linen, this design is suited; it is very plain, and has a yoke and under-sleeve of tucked net, two rows of Russian braid to match outline the yoke; the braid on the right side is continued down center of front in scallops, with a buton sewn in each scallop; the edge of upper sleeve is cut and trimmed to match. Materials required: $1\frac{1}{2}$ yard 44 inches wide, one-half dozen yards braid, one dozen buttons. A Smart Belt Buckle If you are a young girl and wish to be up-to-date, save your pennies to buy a belt buckle, in Dutch silver. They are the present aspiration of every girl. They vary from six to eight inches long and three to four inches wide, are handsomely carved, and fashionable. Some are provided with slides, but the majority have prongs through which the belting is drawn. To avoid making the belting ragged where it is pulled through it is well to punch eyelets and overcast them. PLAITINGS RETURN TO FAVOR Advent of Fussy Dresses of a Former Period Are Responsible for Retail! The tiny knife plaitings only an inch in width are again coming to the front with the revival of the fussy dresses of the 1830 period. They belong to the era of the little roses, narrow fringes and puffs. The selvedge of chiffon cloth cut off and sent to the plaiter's or else done with patience at home will save the whole hemming process. The French also double chiffon before it is plaited, to avoid hemming. The selvedge of some silks may be used in the same way, and when the band of a different color along the edge happens to be in harmony or in good contrast it has even been chosen as a decoration for the dress, and allowed to go into the frill. Tiny knife plaitings are made of lace insertions because the straight edge forms a more even line than the scallop of lace. When insertions are used for frills, whether gathered or plaited, they are felled to the gown so that the pattern may not be wasted in a seam. Taffeta ribbon, too, is frequently converted into knife plaitings. Coloring Canvas Shoes The "matching" idea is so strong just now that girls may like to know that white canvas shoes may be colored to match any costume. The process of dyeing will shrink the shoes, but they may be successfully painted with good water-color paint. Mount the shoes on trees. If you do not own shoe-trees, stuff the shoes evenly with tissue paper. Then apply the paint with a good-sized bristle brush or a sponge. Care should be taken to prepare sufficient paint before commending the painting; the canvas being very absorbent, you will need a generous amount. As an even tint depends upon expeditious work, you can readily see the disadvantage of having to stop in the midst of the operation to mix more paint. Chamols Gloves Chamois gloves are again gaining popularity. They look well in warm weather and are not half as extravagant as kid ones. They come in white and several shades of yellow. The wise girl keeps two pairs of these going at once, and each day washes one pair that they may be dry to wear the following day. To wash them cold water must be used and white soap. Warm or hot water shrimps and hardens them. Put the gloves on and give them a thorough washing as you would your hands. Do not put them near the heat while drying. A Parasol Like an Awning One of the latest and greatest oddities in parasols has a modified flat top (like oriental models) and cut in one with each gore is a proportionate lambrequin, which, joined together at the seams, falls down to the depth of seven or eight inches and is trimmed with fringes an inch wide. As the parasol is opened and held up for use one recognizes the suggestion of an awning somewhat, and no doubt it protects the eyes and complexion admirably.—Vogue. Irish Lace Collars When you wash your Irish lace collar, you should always press it while it is lying right side downward upon a Turkish towel four times folded. This makes a soft surface, and when the lace is pressed it will have none of that shiny appearance that ironed laces gradually acquire. Before washing any lace all possible holes should be carefully mended with No. 150 cotton. THE DENVER SAFE DEPOSIT CO. GEN J.W. DENVER DENVER, COLO.
