ENTER WASHINGTON AT LUNCH WHO CRITICIZED H (To The Republican.)—I very much question if our people at all realize what a remarkable man visited us last week. Mr. George Peabody introduced Mr. Washington to me some years ago in Boston. I had not then the opportunity of realizing the work that he was accomplishing; a further acquaintance with it amazes me. Here are 10,000,000 people who forty-five years ago were slaves; only 3 per cent. of them could read and write. In less than half a century these people, who had no past training in self dependence or any heredity of achievement, who started a free life almost as infants, under his leadership have done wonders. In this comparatively short period, 57 per cent. of them have mastered elementary education. Forty-seven banks in the South have Negro presidents; numerous manufactories and stores of all varieties are managed by them; they have 26,000 churches of their own, and have accumulated an astonishing quantity of property. Surely with such evidences of capability they deserve encouragement. Deserves Great Praise for What He Has Done. However, to me it is a matter of regret and surprise, as it appeared to be to Mr. Washington, that while all the schools and educational apparatus of our state are at their unrestricted disposal, all further advancement is denied them. Every door beyond that of menial service is closed to the graduates of our high schools and universities. I found the porter on the narrow gauge chair car over the Marshall pass, was an M. D. and a graduate of Columbia, but he could not make his way as a doctor, and was thankful to receive my quarter for "brushing me off." It would be difficult to conceive what greater work should secure more national recognition than that accomplished by Mr. Washington. For these 10,000,000 he is a leader, an encouragement, a scion of possibility. He selected a sandy desert in Tennessee, deliberately choosing a place which the white man had not pre-occupied. He has succeeded in erect- ing ninety-six buildings, securing a property which is now worth $3,000,000, and the population of his institution is 3,000. For a man single handed to have accomplished this prodigious work I think deserves unstinted praise. Quotes a Particularly Offensive Letter in Full. When I heard of his visit to our city, it never occurred to me that I was doing anything unusual in offering him hospitality as a slight mark of my own appreciation of his work. I remember as a boy looking forward with great pleasure and interest to the visits of the Negro bishop of Sierra Leone, Dr. Crowther, at my father's vicarage, where he was several times our honored guest. I never for a moment supposed that I should arouse such animosity in the breasts of some of my fellow citizens as I have reason to fear that I did. I daresay many have refrained, because of what they consider my oddity, from expressing their disapproval, and from the decency of not dictating to your neighbor when he shall, or shall not, entertain; but I received one letter which intimates how seriously I have offended some prejudices. Here is the letter. I italicise the underlined words of my correspondent: “To Dean Hart: “I thank God that I am not a member of a congregation which has a pastor so depraved that he can consistently sit down to dinner with a ‘nigger.’ They were given to us for servants (and they make good ones), and a few ‘cads’ like yourself and Theodore Roosfult attempt to lift them to a footing of equality. “I trust your congregation will have the courage to ‘stand pat.’ I only trust furthermore, that after having entertained Booker T. Washington that your ‘Star’ will begin to decline. Having myself been born south of Mason Dixon lines and raised in an environment of luxury and refinement, it is impossible to understand your methods and I certainly do not wish to. It is only horrible to me as it is to thousands of others.” Now, sir, I have more respect "To Dean Hart: State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House tronizing RADO THE JOURNAL DENVER. onizing Tho ADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 13 1909. for the corporate Negro than for this Southern gentleman. Here is a man who says he was "raised in luxury and refinement," yet he cannot spell the name of one of the best presidents of these United States, a personage who, in my opinion, is the greatest man at present on this planet, and yet he takes the trouble to write me a harsh letter for asking such a man as Mr. Booker Washington to lunch with me. And of course, sir, in your wide experience with correspondents, you well know that the weight of a criticism is measured by the caliber of the critic, and you will not be surprised to learn how unnerved I was to receive this epistle when I read the weighty quality of my correspondent, who subscribed himself, "A reader of the Denver Post." Believe me to remain, truly yours, H. MARTYN HART. The Deanery, Nov. 6th, 1909. TAXPAYERS' VIEWS OF THE WATER QUESTION. Editor of Colorado Statesman : $14,400,000. The writer is not attempting to say whether this is a fair price, or whether it is too much or too little or whether a new franchise should be voted the Denver Union Water Company, or whether a franchise should be rejected, or whether the city should construct its own water plant. We have arrived at the banks of the Rubicon. How shall we cross? Whatever is to be done must be accomplished in a straight-forward, business-like manner, cross words and harsh names are quite out of place. What the people most need is reliable information to the end that this city does not suffer whatever the outcome shall be. The Denver Union Water Company deserves to be commended for its efforts to acquaint each interested citizen with all the facts, thereby enabling each voter to cast his or her vote intelligently. The Negro taxpayers must feel thankful to the Colorado Statesman for the care and pains it is taking to give to them such information as it is now doing upon the all-important question. The Negroes have become an important factor in this city and there has never been a time when intelligent and conservative judgment was more necessary than will be necessary in casting a vote at the forth coming water election. The intelligent voter will be guided by the needs of Denver and the best interests of the community. Each municipality in the nation has existing conditions peculiarly its own and must be met and passed as they are and not as we would have them. Therefore municipal ownership might be the better for Denver than for some other city of the nation and might be the one thing to check if not destroy Denver's evident progress and prosperity. Like other taxpayers there should be among us an organization formed for the sole purpose of discussing and acquainting ourselves as to what we should do. A NEGRO TAXPAYER. Washington, D. C., November 2.—There is some anxiety in Washington because Negus Menelik of Abyssinia is critically sick. His death might complicate pending negotiations with Abyssinia. Menelik has favored Americans and shown great interest in plans submitted by American agents seeking to establish trade between the two countries Abyssinia is a wealthy nation, a golden field for business purposes. The American government is having prepared to send to Emporer Menelik a silver cup as a token of good will and appreciation of many gifts to American chief executives in the last three or four years. These gifts usually include live jungle terrors, which have been consigned to various zoological gardens. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES In the death of John Edward Kennedy of New York, he bequeathed the following sums to Negro institutions: Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute $100,000; Hampton Normal and Industrial Institute, $100,000, Berea College, $50,000. Negroes, and the promoters believe that the venture will be a profitable one if properly handled. Pittsburg, Nov. 3.—In recognition of acts of bravery the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission at its regular fall meeting today reward- Atlantic City, N. J., November 2.—A $1,500 brooch lost by Mrs. C. R. Train, wife of Lieutenant Train of the navy, was today shown to Detective Robert Miller of the local force by Wilmer Jones a Negro, who offered to sell it for $1. Miller took the Negro to police headquarters, where the man said that he found it in a gutter in front of the cottage which the Trains are occupying in Chelsea. He thought it was a piece of cheap jewelry. Mrs. Train insisted that a reward be given to Jones and that he be relieved of the charge of trying to dispose of the brooch without seeking for its owner. Jackson, Miss. Nov. 2.—The State Supreme Court today sustained the decree of the Jasper County Chancery Court in holding the county agricultural high school bill to be unconstitutional because no provision is made for the education of Negro children. The law, passed at the last legislative session, authorizes the School Board of any county "to establish one Agricultural High School in the county for the purpose of instructing the white youth of the country in the High School branches, theoretical and practical agriculture," etc. The word "white" which caused the law to be declared unconstitutional, it is believed, will be removed by an amendment at the next session. Kansas City, Mo., November 2. Kansas City is to have a new colored theatre. A few days ago several of the prominent Negroes of the city met and discussed the practicability of opening a playhouse for Negroes. Lewis Wood, publisher of the Kansas City Sun, was the leading spirit in the movement. It was agreed to lease the property located at the corner of Eleventh and Oak streets, and $3,000 was subscribed. Vaudeville, moving pictures and a small stock company will be provided for the entertainment of the patrons. The theatre will have a special orchestra. Kansas City has a population of over 30,000 NO. 9 Negroes, and the promoters believe that the venture will be a profitable one if properly handled. Pittsburg, Nov. 3.—In recognition of acts of bravery the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission at its regular fall meeting today rewarded fifty persons with medals and money. Among the numbers were three Philadelphiaans, one colored man. Theodore H. Homer, is the colored man. On August 2, 1908 he stopped a runaway team at Fourth and Tasker streets, saving the life of 10-year old John Berger, of 1516 S. Sixth street, who was being dragged by the frightened horses. Homer saw the team coming toward him and he realized that the boy would be killed unless instant action was taken. Just at that moment a trolly car moved in front of the rapidly moving car Homer just missed being struck, but was in time to seize the horses until they came to a full stop. His act was brought to the attention of the commission by neighbors who witnessed it. He was awarded a bronze medal and $500. Semi-Centennial Exposition. Tuskegee, Ala., Oct. 30.—At a meeting held at Tuskegee Institute, Wednesday of this week preliminary plans were formulated for a semi-Centennial Exposition to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the freeing of the Negro slaves in the United States. Ten thousand dollars has already been secured to meet the expenses of preliminary organization. Among the men behind the movement are: Principal Booker T. Washington, of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute; Professor E. L. Blackshear, Principal State Normal School, Prairie View, Texas; Dr. J W. E. Bowen, President Gammon Theological Seminary, Atlanta, Georgia; Dr. C. T. Walker, President Walker Baptist College, Augusta, Ga; Hon. Nathan Alexander, Receiver of Public Monies, Montgomery, Alabama; Hon. Ernest Lyon, American Minister to the Republic of Liberia, and Major R. R. Moten, of the Hampton Institute. The Exposition which will be held in 1913 in some Southern city not yet decided upon, proposes to show the progress of the Negro not only since slavery, but since his first landing in America - We Want «aS —s- Your NECN |} ° by =e)» Business SS 2 Ae ———_— Cie i aN) We Make ‘a7 Sen } The Finest fl 4 4 PRICES MODERATE aa Ee rs 4 A Specialty of H ig $25.00 Suits peep To Order ; i TRY US i 2 an 4H Glasgow Tailors | Su 620 SIXTEENTH ST.

A new spring, giving a large flow of water, was recently opened ten feet east of the Mansions hotel in Manitou. The spring was tapped at a dept of 225 feet, and the water will be piped into the hotel. The County Commissioners of Pueblo county estimate that $40,000 damage was done roads and bridges by the storms of last summer. It is serious because it is nearly double the amount usually spent annually on roads and bridges. The county this year has $26,000 for this purpose. Another increase has been made in the price of milk at Cripple Creek and now the consumers get only eight quarts for a dollar in the place of ten. Hereafter no cream will be sold in the city by dairymen, as a recent ordinance forbids the sale of skimmed milk and dairymen say they will not skim milk for cream and throw the milk away. F. A. Maxwell, mining engineer, has been notified by the state engineer that he was the successful bidder for construction of the road around Green lake, six miles above Georgetown, and work has begun. When completed the road will be six miles long and Naylor lake, one of the beauty spots of Colorado, and full of fish, can be reached by wagon. Mrs. Izetta George, for twenty-one years secretary of the Denver Charity Organizations Society, who recently resigned on account of ill health, has received an extremely flattering letter from the officers of the society, which says: "We cannot say all the kind things we would say lest you should blush and those who do not know you should say that we exaggerate." Mrs. Ella Palmer, mother of the wife of former Judge Charles D. Hayt, the only woman, with one exception, who went to the front with the Confederate army, died on the 7th inst. at the Boulder sanitarium, at Boulder, where she had been a patient for five months. With another woman, believed to have died several years ago, Mrs. Palmer organized the hospital corps of the Army of the Tennessee. Wednesday, the 11th inst., was pay day in the Cripple Creek district and it is estimated that over $350,000 was paid to men employed in the mines, mills and sampling plants. The books of the Cripple Creek Mine Owners & Operators' Association show between 3,200 and 3,500 members at work, and with the average daily wage scale, including that paid machine drill men and shift bosses, $3.40 per day, the estimate of the amount distributed, is conservative. The reconstruction of the Cliff House in Manitou sees the passing of the old original house, which was erected in 1874, and came into possession of the late E. E. Nichols two years later, being under the management of his son, E. E. Nichols, for the last thirty-three years. The Cliff will be, when completed, the largest resort hotel in the state, having in all 200 rooms and 86 private baths. It will have a frontage of 410 feet and will be four stories high. The State Veterinary Examining Board will hold another examination the last of January, the date to be announced later, for graduates and nongraduates who were not able to take the last one. It is suggested by the board that all those who wish to continue in the practice of veterinary medicine and surgery after this examination make application to the secretary of the Board of Examiners for blanks, etc., as there will not be held another examination for a long time, and as the law for the non-graduates goes into effect rigidly on Jan. 24th, it will pay those who are interested to make application as soon as possible. The following named delegates have been appointed by Governor Shafroth to attend the National Civic Federation conference on uniform legislation in the states: William H. Smiley, Denver; Mrs. Mary C.

It is said that there is not a section of land which has not been filed upon between Greeley and the Wyoming line and from Greeley eastward to the Burlington railroad, forty miles. Over two-thirds of this territory has been filed upon during the last year, and settlers are now flocking in with their household goods. The Buffalo Specialty Company of Buffalo has started suits in the United States Circuit Court against five Denver bicycle dealers, charging them with infringement on the patents for "Neverleak," a solution used to stop leaks in pneumatic tires.

ROCKEFELLER has given one million dollars as the first installment of a fund to be used for the extermination of the hookworm, the recently discovered scourge of the South. It is said that this pestiferous beast can be wiped out of existence in this country by the use of a liberal supply of oil, and the Standard Oil Company has the necessary supply on hand, which it will furnish at but a small advance above current prices, consistent with the unusual demand and the safe-guarding of the public need. Possibly hook-worm oil will be a new by-product. THE LIGHT IS BREAKING. THE equities of Negro citizenship are given legal acknowledgment in the decision of the Supreme Court of the State of Mississippi published on November 2nd, when it declared that the law recently passed by the legislature of that state, establishing county agricultural high schools "for white youths," is unconstitutional because it makes no provision for the education of colored children. It was plainly a class measure, which would employ the money raised in part from the taxes levied on the property of colored citizens, for the benefit of white children only, practically barring colored children from its advantages. The legal breadth and purity of the decision is a welcome ray of light breaking through the oppressive gloom of Southern jurisprudence, and at once establishes the fact that the Negro is to be recognized as a citizen having legal rights in Mississippi which white men are bound to respect. It is not to be supposed that these white jurists and other citizens are determined that the Negro child shall enjoy the same opportunities that the white child enjoys, for the law probably would have been deemed sufficient had it made some partial provision for the similar education of the colored youth, but the fact that the spirit of the federal constitution forbidding class legislation is clearly recognized is sufficient indication that the South in general, and Mississippi in particular, is advancing toward that ultimate conception of liberty and democracy which is the real foundation and bulwark of our form of government. THE VENTURE SPIRIT WHERE progress is the general object to which an element of people must imperatively address itself, the spirit of venture is the most important characteristic demanding development among them. Intellectual and moral advancement are independent needs, freighted always with saving benefits, but persistent daring is the thing that tells in the never ending struggle for better conditions. The degree of daring which characterizes a people establishes the general position and standing of that people in its contact and relations with the world at large, and is the measure of its power in all of its smaller relations. The spirit of venture is in itself an educating force, for it carries its possessors and demonstrators well up in comparisons with intellectual elements and even employs and commands those elements in the furtherance of its enterprises. A man need not necessarily be educated to devote himself to the carrying out of venturesome achievements, whether in business or the larger spheres, although an educated man, possessed of the venture spirit, is better equipped and capable of greater successes than the uneducated man. History furnishes us with many examples of self-made men, whose education was picked up as they went along, but who were really the pioneers of progress. They prepare the way for the people and for the educated and better equipped ventures who follow in their footsteps. To teach a people to venture out of usual and known paths is to make that people independent, self-reliant and strong. The Caucasian has led the world for ages because of his unmatched daring. The Japanese, in fifty years, have sprung from a state of peculiar Orientalism, akin to barbarism, into the position of one of the leading nations of the world, from which they have begun to challenge Caucasian civilization for comparison of merit, because of an awakened venture spirit which suddenly overleaped the boundaries of its island home and flowed through the inlets of Eastern Asia. China is now catching the spirit and awakening from a sleep of two thousand years. The nations that sleep, ventureless, are the nations that are being overwhelmed and absorbed. The Negro, particularly the Negro of America, has yet to thoroughly learn the lesson of venture and dare. He must throw himself more generally into the slowly opening channels of business enterprises at home and follow their fast widening leads around the world. Great opportunity awaits him as it awaits no other people in all the earth. But he must venture and dare as other races have done, and as conquerors must ever expect to do. Negro children should be taught from babyhood to venture at high and great objects, towards which parental judgment or their own imaginations direct them. Repeated failures should not be allowed to discourage them, for failure is one of the natural elements of eventual and thorough success. When the Negro begins to dare to exploit the opportunities of the world, as other men dare, no question of race will hamper or hold him in check, for he will then be on the way to the heights of undaunted manhood. THE JEANS WILL IN DANGER. PRESS dispatches announce that the legal heirs of the late Anna T. Jeans, the wealthy Quakeress who willed one million dollars to Booker T. Washington and others, as trustees, for the benefit of rural Negro schools in the South have combined in a suit to break the will. The grounds for the suit are purely technical, it being claimed that the witnesses to the execution of the will are beneficiaries under the will and legally disqualified as witnesses. In similar cases wills have been broken, and there is some reason to fear that the Jeans will may fare the same fate. The heirs number more than thirty, and doubtless some of them would be glad to see the charitable bequests revoked by the courts, if they can be benefitted by it. The motive on the part of some of the wealthy heirs, however, is not to undo these bequests, but to resent being left out of the will. They intimate that they will take care of the charities if the will is broken. But at best the situation is startling. No greater benevolence was ever recorded than that giving such valuable help to the rural Negro schools. The work of the board under which it is to be distributed is fairly under way. Considerable work has been done in the execution of its object. The threatened interruption of that work will be most unfortunate. We sincerely hope that this great work will not be seriously hampered or disastrously dealt with. President Taft is a member of the board formed to execute this bequest. The whole Jeans estate is valued above three million dollars. Faculty Training Acquired Ability to Command Attention By JOHN A. HOWLAND ONCENTRATION of mind in harmonious relation with bodily activity is the greatest active force in civilization. There are human activities which are effective without concentration in the mind, but somewhere in the harnessing of this force some broad scheme has been evolved without which this aimless force in the individual would be wasted. C In a thousand ways the drudging, ignorant laborer of the lowest type becomes vital in the perfecting of material dreams of the concentrated mind. That slouching, aimless figure of a man tamping sand under a railway tie to the level laid out by the engineer is necessary to the scheme by which a limited train dashes from Chicago to New York in 18 hours. But the engineer in construction may get $10,000 a year salary, while the laborer receives $1.50 a day. This does not make it possible that all the concentration which the laborer might put into his work ever would guarantee him more than his regular $1.50 a day. He has only a laborer's brain, content with a laborer's hire. But in the position of the engineer, the absence of concentration in the engineer's make-up might have left him only a $1,000 a year assistant to the engineering staff. The point I would make is that concentration of mind is not a faculty; it is an acquired ability to command the faculties of mind and of body, and for the best of results this acquirement must insure a harmonious relation between brain and brawn. Advice to a man, "You must concentrate yourself in your work," is about as ineffective as to suggest to him that he grow four inches taller than he is. Everywhere it will be conceded that one of the most irritating of experiences in social life is for one to find himself talking to another who manifestly is not listening. This is a social offense often hard to forgive. But for the worker to work without his attention centered on his work constitutes an offense in materialism that an employer may find still harder to forget. "Jones wasn't paying attention to his work when he made that mistake," is the irritated expression of every day from tens of thousands of men in authority over other men and responsible for their mistakes and failures. It is the most irritating of all forms of shortcoming in men. If Jones had not been competent to do the thing his superior could feel that he had made the mistake in leaving Jones to do the work. But Jones knew better and failed because of inattention. PETER H. Concentration of the faculties not only is a safeguard against errors, but it is an assurance that when a move has been considered and determined upon the move will have all effectiveness and accomplish the maximum in results. Without this power of concentration every one of these faculties must prove a poor, broken reed instead of a lever that might move a world. It is about time that predictions of the end of the earth caused by Halley's or another comet striking the earth were stopped. The possibility of a comet's coming in contact with the earth, although coming directly toward the earth is very slight. Should it come in contact with the earth it would not jar it and we have material evidence in the heavens that a planet and a comet may come together without any disastrous effects. Danger From Comet Only Slight By CHARLES DIETZ Mechanical Expert The earth rotates at the rate of 1,000 miles an hour at its equator and travels 1,500,000 miles a day in its orbit around the sun. Should a comet come toward the earth its first effect would be caused by the pressure of the comet's preceding compressed atmosphere against that of the rotating earth. This would cause the comet to take its easiest course or to shy to one side and pass by. Should it not do this, it would press the earth gradually toward the sun, while the compound compression of the earth's and comet's atmospheres would cause rain and its compression would be water through which the solid matter of the comet and the earth would meet without a jar. In proof of this, the numerous double stars show the survival of these pacified collisions or meetings. It is only the smaller fragments of a comet that could penetrate the earth's atmosphere and strike it with force. The end of the world will be caused by an earthquake large enough to break the earth into two or more parts. When the earth ceases to be round it will fall toward the sun, breaking into smaller fragments, some of which will fall upon the planets in their pathway to the sun or be ground into dust by the friction with the atmosphere. A novel and mysterious disease that the profession designates as "infantile paralysis" has lately been spreading among the very young children of Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska. New and Strange Child's Disease By DR. HOWARD L. MARTIN The disease is a new one to us and, though suggestive in some of its phases of meningitis, must not be confounded with that more malignant malady. Few of the babies that have been affected with paralysis have died, but in meningitis there is always a big percentage of mortality. This new ailment begins with a fever, is succeeded by vomiting and sharp pains of the stomach and completes its evil work by attacking the spinal cord, causing a paralysis of the legs and other muscle groups. The suffering, when death does not ensue, usually lasts for several weeks; then it goes away, but the paralysis continues. So far, it does not appear to be contagious, as frequently only one child in a large family will be attacked. There is hardly any doubt, though, of its being infectious. Up to this time no child has recovered the use of its limbs and the doctors are at their wits' ends trying to find the cause of the disease and its cure. There is a widespread feeling of alarm and the governor and state board of health are going to the limit in their endeavors to stamp out the epidemic.

During their stay in Denver this estimable couple made a large circle of friends, who are loath to give them up. The Colorado Statesman joins all in wishing them well. James E. Travick of the Rio Grande dining car service, has just returned to the city from a trip on the Western Pacific with several prominent citizens of Salt Lake, who were guests of the road. The Tribune of Salt Lake, in writing of the trip, spoke thus of the diner: "Flowers graced the tables which later were distributed to the ladies. Jack Olson cooked a trout and turkey dinner, with blue points and sparkling Burgundy, which J. E. Travick, W. Wise and their assistants served to perfection. These men are considered the crack dining car crew of the Rio Grande." The following dispatch from Seattle, Wash., will be of interest to our Denver citizens, as Mr. Stone was formerly a well known citizen here. It says: "Seattle, Wash., Nov. 5.—Action was brought today by an improvement Company which platted a high class residence addition to Seattle to set aside a transfer of a lot in the addition to S. H. Stone, because he is a Negro. The lot was sold on contract to a white woman, who transferred it, with the consent of the company, to Stone, whose color was not known to the company. Counsel for the company stated that it sought to dispossess the Negro because his presence was objectionable to white owners of lots. Stone's counsel, also a Negro, cites the constitution of the United States." Mr. Stone informed a Denverite some time ago, while in Seattle, of his purchase and that he was offered an advance sum of his investment, and while the offerer was rated as a millionaire, Mr. Stone informed him that he didn't have enough money to buy him out. Monday evening, November 8th, Pike's Peak Fountain of the Order of True Reformers, No. 2916, entertained the other Fountains of this division at their annual reception, the occasion being their first anniversary.

Burns and Gatewood; welcome address, by the Worthy Master, Mrs. Harold. Solo, "Roses," Miss Gracie Burns, was so well received that she was compelled to respond with an encore, "Night and Day." Response to the welcome address, by Worthy Messenger Mrs. Irene Fife; humorous reading, "Pass Dat Biskit," by Franklin H. Bryant; W. A. Gatewood created much plaume. Remarks by the Worthy Chief, A. C. Cash, were well received. After partaking of refreshments, the visitors departed, voting Pike's Peak Fountain a royal entertainer. Master of Ceremonies, Worthy Messenger T. M. Campbell. THE DENVER UNION WATER COMPANY. To The Colorado Statesman:—As a taxpayer I deem it a duty to express my views on the Denver Union Water Company and its great and unsurpassed facilities. There is perhaps no corporation that has been more fair or explicit to the general public in presenting figures and facts than has the Denver Union Water Company, and no one who has stopped to consider the vast amount of capital that has been expended for the plant and the cost of its maintenance, together with its normal tax to the consumer will not hesitate to commend its just and fair treatment meted out to the public. The company has expended no little amount of money in the way of literature to prove to the public its claims of what President Roosevelt terms "a square deal" and this is what every taxpayer should endorse. Indeed, it is a source of gratification to point with pride to Denver's water system as well as to note the very low ratio charged far in the lead of that of any other tal invested. No expense is spared by the company to keep Denver's water system for in the lead of that of any other city and the management of the same should receive the highest endorsement and congratulations of every taxpayer in the City and County of Denver. To say more would be only to add that all taxpayers of Denver would be doing justice to themselves and the company as well by endorsing what has been said by Yours sincerely, A TAXPAYER. OUR TRIP TO FLORENCE AND CANON CITY. Our trip to Florence and Canon City last week was made one of much pleasure by the congenial and prosperous citizens. At Florence we were the guest of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Yarber, who, together with Col. A. L. Rice, spared no pains in making our stay a realm of mirth. This is a thriving little city and the colored people there are very prosperous—in fact, they are adhering to the teachings of Booker T. Washington, which means success with a big "S." Leaving there we journeyed to Canon, where we fared the same loyal treatment by the good citizens of that place. While there we met our old friend James Pate, who is guard at the penitentiary, which position he has held for six years with credit to himself and honor to his race. The reputation of the colored people at these two burgs are too well known to add any comment to their progress, further than to say that they are "making good" in their various avocations. They have the heartiest congratulations of the Colorado Statesman for continued prosperity and they have our many thanks for their loyal support of this paper. O. U.

Mrs. Charles Burton, who with her husband, has charge of the Birney apartments, desires to correct a report which has gained circulation that through some trouble that she had with a tenant who insulted her one day last week, which insult she resented, afterwards being arrested, that they would lose their positions, which report is untrue. Mr. Birney is not only going to retain them, but he hired two lawyers to defend her. If more of our people would protect their rights they would get along much better in the community.

Women there are on earth, most sweet and high, Who lose their own, and walk bereft and lonely; Loving that one lost heart until they die, Loving it only. And so they never see beside them grow Children, whose coming is like breath of flowers; Consoled by subtler loves the angels know Through childless hours. Good deeds they do; they comfort and they bless In duties others put off till the morrow; Their look is balm, their touch is tenderness To all in sorrow. Betimes the world smiles at them as 'twee shame, This maiden gulse, long after youth's departed; But in God's Book they bear another name— "The faithful-hearted." Faithful in life, and faithful unto death, Such couls, in sooth, illume with luster splendid That glimpsed, glad land wherein, the Vision saith, Earth's wrongs are ended. —Richard Burton. in the Century. Fought for Other Fellow's Girl. A remarkable duel has been fought to no purpose by two brothers at Vinkovitse, Austria. Holek and Albert Baksho, who lived together on good terms, recently discovered that they were both in love with the same girl. Neither had proposed to her, but when they discovered they were rivals they agreed that the sword should decide their difference. The combat took place, and Albert, the younger, was wounded by his brother. The matter was settled; Holek was free to make his proposal. Meanwhile the all-unconscious Fraulein Schneider had engaged her affections elsewhere, and when Holek went to press his suit, the lady introduced him to her fiance. The unfortunate man was so overcome with grief and vexation that he went home and shot himself. His brother is recovering from his injuries. Ford's Hair Pomade Fifty years of success have proved the merits of this preparation. What is more attractive than a beautiful head of hair? It has been the ambition of women in all ages.

Women who suffer with backache, bearing down pains, dizzy spells and that constant feeling of dullness and tiredness, will find hope in the advice of Mrs. Mary Hinson of 21 Strother St., Mt.

"Had I not used Doan's Kidney Pills, I believe I would not be living today," says Mrs. Hinson. "My eyesight was poor. I suffered with nervous, splitting headaches, spots would dance before my eyes and at times I would be so dizzy I would have to grasp something for support. My back was so weak and painful I could hardly bend over to button my shoes and could not get around without suffering severely. Doan's Kidney Pills helped me from the first, and I continued until practically well again." Remember the name—Doan's. Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. FELT SORRY FOR MRS. BROWN Simple Explanation of Rural Mail Carrier's Failure to Deliver Package to Owner. The rural free delivery reaches its flower of perfection in Vermont, according to the Saturday Evening Post. "Mr. Carrier," said a lady who was summering among the mountains. "I have a letter, received several days ago, saying a package has been forwarded to me by mail. I have not received it yet. Have you seen anything of it?" "A package?" asked the rural free deliverer. "Yes, sir." "What kind of a package?" "Why, a small package—a box, in fact—covered with paper, containing some of my property." "A small box; pasteboard, probably?" "Let me see," pondered the rural free deliverer. "A package? Oh, yes, I guess that was your package I delivered to Mrs. Brown down in the foothills a few days ago. She hadn't had any mail for a long time, and I kind of felt sorry for her." ECZEMA COVERED HIM. Itching Torture Was Beyond Words— Slept Only from Sheer Exhaustion —Relieved in 24 Hours and Cured by Cuticura in a Month. "I am seventy-seven years old, and some years ago I was taken with eczema from head to foot. I was sick for six months and what I suffered tongue could not tell. I could not sleep day or night because of that dreadful itching; when I did sleep it was from sheer exhaustion. I was one mass of irritation; it was even in my scalp. The doctor's medicine seemed to make me worse and I was almost out of my mind. I got a set of the Cuticura Soap, Olntment and Resolvent. I used them persistently for twenty-four hours. That night I slept like an infant, the first solid night's sleep I had had for six months. In a month I was cured. W. Harrison Smith, Mt. Kisco, N. Y., Feb. 3, 1908."

WESTERN SLOPE IS WITH PINCHOT DEVELOPMENT CONGRESS AT GRAND JUNCTION INDORSES HIS POLICY. URGES ISSUE OF BONDS ALL FOR SPEEDY RAILWAY CONSTRUCTION AND MORE POWER FOR COMMISSION. Denver.—A Republican special from Grand Junction Thursday night says: After listening to a significant address by J. H. Killian of Delta, president of the Western Slope Stockmen's Association, in which he treated the present conservation policy as applied to Colorado range lands and the forest reserve in considerable detail, telling of its benefits to the cattlemen and the homesteader, and frequently lauding Forester Gifford Pinchot, the 300 delegates of the Western Slope Development congress this afternoon adopted by unanimous vote resolutions indorsing the present policy in every detail. Although the topic of state rights was the all prevailing one during the greater part of the congress, the conservation issue came to the front today and the sentiment was unmistakably in favor of the present policy. Many of the eastern slope representatives who have been identified with the Pinchot fight in the state stockmen's association, a fight which caused the withdrawal of the western slope members last year and the forming of an independent association were greatly impressed with the unanimous sentiment for Mr. Pinchot in this section. It is believed that one result of the Western Slope congress will be the ending of this quarrel and that the western stockmen will go back to Denver next January and be allowed a full share in the management of the affairs of the state association. Other resolutions which were adopted before adjournment urged upon the congress the need of authorizing a $50,000,000 bond issue to finance the reclamation service; called upon the Southern Pacific and Union Pacific railroads to immediately construct the proposed north and south railroad; requested Governor Shafroth to enlarge the scope of the rate convention at Denver next week to include the subject of freight, as well as passenger rates, and also called on him to recommend legislation giving to the State Railway Commission the power to fix rates; demanded from the Rio Grande railroad that Grand Junction be made a common point, with a tariff not exceeding the Salt Lake rate, and asking that road to broad gauge the Marshall Pass route as soon as possible. Senator H. T. DeLong was elected permanent president and T. S. Mahoney secretary, with a board of control comprising one member from each county in western Colorado and eastern Utah, who will have charge of the next meeting of the congress, which is now intended to be an annual affair. Double Lynching at Cairo. Cairo, Ill.—Two men met death at the hands of a mob here Thursday night. Will James, the negro suspected of being the murderer of Miss Annie Pelley, was the first victim of the mob. James was strung up to the public arch, the rope broke and at least five hundred shots were fired into his body. He made a partial confession and implicated the negro, Arthur Alexander, and the mob went out to look for him. Henry Salzner, a white man and a photographer by trade, who killed his wife last July with an axe, was taken out of the county jail at 11:40 o'clock by the mob, hanged to a telegraph pole and his body riddled with bullets. Late at night Arthur Alexander, the negro implicated by James in the murder of Miss Pelley, was found by the sheriff, who is hiding the negro, while the mob is searching for them. Mrs. Read Faints in Court. Denver.—Just as Judge J. W. Sheafor adjourned court at noon Thursday Mrs. Allan F. Read, her face like that of a corpse, fainted in her chair behind her attorneys. Throughout the two hours' recess she lay on a couch in the deputy sheriff's office, inert and in a half comatose condition. She was barely able to take her place in her chair at 2 o'clock. Before a witness could be called, the physician examined her and declared that it would be dangerous to her life to continue the trial. Adjournment was taken and Mrs. Read was carried from the court room by her husband and her brother. Brink Convicted of Murder. Basin, Wyo.—Herbert Brink was convicted Thursday of murder in the first degree for the slaying of Joseph Allemand in the Ten Sleep sheep camp raid and the state at once began the trial of George Dixon, the second of the five cattlemen charged with the murder of Allemand, Lozier and Emge. A jury was secured Thursday afternoon and introduction of evidence will begin immediately. The verdict sealing the fate of Brink was returned after the jury had deliberated for sixteen hours Women Who Suffer from woman's ailments are invited to write to the names and addresses here given, for positive proof that Lydia E.

A little fellow who had just felt the hard side of the slipper turned to his mother for consolation. "Mother," he asked, "did grandpa thrash father when he was a little boy?" "Yes," answered his mother, impressively. "And did his father thrash him when he was little?" "Well, who started this thing, anyway?"—Cassell's Saturday Journal. The Last Resort. "They're going to increase the tax on beer!" "Then we won't drink any." "And they're going to increase the tax on spirits." "Then we won't drink any." "And they're going to tax wine."

Small Nettie, seeing some large insects on the back porch, asked what they were, and was told that they were ants. The next morning she discovered a number of small ants among the large ones, and exclaimed: "Oh, mamma, the aunts have brought their little nieces with them to-day!" Wigg—Scribbler's stories all have such sad endings. Wagg—Yes, they generally find their way into the wastebasket.—Philadelphia Record.

At last, after he had loudly repeated his query for the fifth or sixth time, a grave-looking gentleman laid aside a book and rose up from a seat near one end of the car. "I have the privilege of being a minister of the gospel, sir," he said. "Can I be of any service to you?" "Yes," said the large passenger.

Starting with very small capital only a few years ago it now gives steady employment to 140 men and women to whom are paid over $85,000 a year. They use the flour from six hundred bushels of wheat every day in the year, the value of which is $225,000 per annum. They pay $75,000 a year for lard, using nearly twice as much as is produced by all the Colorado raised hogs marketed at the Den- ver Union Stock Yards. They also consume large quantities of Colorado honey, butter, coal, coke, etc. They spend some $30,000 or $40,000 a year for lithographed labels, all of which is done in Colorado. This concern is marketing its various products in fourteen different states in the South and West, and in Old Mexico. By using only the very best materials they have established a reputation that is compelling them to enlarge their factories and increase their facilities every few months. They are making a fortune, and what they are doing can be repeated by others in innumerable different lines. We have the raw material and we are rapidly getting the population that will make right here at home the best market in the world for first-class goods.

BACKACHE HL375 "Guarantee" CENTRAL UNION SCHOOL PLANS LOMA DISTRICT IN MESA COUNTY PREPARING TO CONCEN- TRATE SCHOOLS IN ONE FINE BUILDING IN ONE FINE BUILDING OMNIBUS LINES WILL CARRY CHILDREN TO AND FROM SCHOOLHOUSE. Denver.—General 'interest is felt in the statement that the school directors of the Loma district in Mesa county west of Grand Junction are inviting plans from architects for a four or six-room modern building to be built for use beginning next fall. This is the first district in the Grand valley to formally decide upon what is known as the Central Union school plan, but it is expected that all through the Grand valley the same system will be adopted. The Loma Central Union district will cover an area of about ten square miles, a considerable part of which will be closely settled by fruit farmers. The district at present maintains four schools and seven teachers. All these will be concentrated at the central building and the district will maintain a system of bus lines by which the children will be transported every morning to the central school and returned to their homes in the evening. The directors figure that one bus line will cost $40 per month, and will bring in as many children every day as one teacher would take care of in one of the small scattered school houses. The cost of maintaining the small school house, including the teacher's salary, fuel, janitor service and repairs will run to $90 a month, so that the central union plan is an actual saving of money, besides giving the children the advantages of a large graded school. The new building at Loma will cost about $10,000. Why Colorado Is Thankful. Denver.—In response to a message asking why, in his opinion, Colorado and the nation should be thankful this year, Governor Shafroth sent the following to the New York World: "Colorado has enjoyed the most general prosperity in its history. Our mines have continued to pour out their wealth and our farms have produced more abundant crops of all kinds, and labor has been constantly employed. Our churches and schools have multiplied, and our citizens of all classes have had increased happiness and comfort. We stand ready to welcome the unempoyed of other states with opportunities where all willing hands can find something to do. "The nation has cause to be grateful for the peaceful relations maintained with the rest of the people of the world under a government where law abides both among officials and individuals." Will Build Through Kersey. Denver.—A Republican special from Kersey says: A letter to the Commercial Club from officers of the Burlington railroad announces that the Burlington will build its main line directly from Hudson through Kersey and from there build north to the Crow Creek valley and then east to Grover, to connect Greeley with the Crow Creek branch. Kersey business men say plans have already been made for the building of a station, water tank and other railroad buildings there and it is said that the Burlington will use the grade in the Boo Elder valley made by the Burlington Interurban Railroad Company. P. P. Wilcox, aged 85 years, was severely burned on the 8th inst., while rushing into his burning house at Denver, to save $400 in bankbills, threatened with destruction. Mr. Wilcox came to Colorado in 1860 and since then has held several political offices, being at different times police judge, justice of the peace, United States marshal, alderman and county attorney. He also served in the territorial Legislature. "Rifle has never lost a fruit crop because of frost, and has never used a smudge pot." So writes C. L. Todd, president of the Chamber of Commerce of Rifle, in a letter to the Denver Republican. Mr. Todd, in his letter, states that the start of the season in the Rifle fruit district is two weeks beyond the frost limit, and that therefore the smudgepots have never been necessary to assure huge crops. It was asserted in the Republican that Rifle had suffered from frost for two years, and Mr. Todd wished to correct this impression. Judge Garrigues in the District Court at Greeley sentenced Andreas Rubio to the state penitentiary for life for shooting, stabbing and robbing Jesus Mendez while the two, who had been picking potatoes, were walking to their home east of Eaton, October 23d. Mendez recovered sufficiently to appear as a witness. Robert L. Cochran, state dairy commissioner, left Denver a few days since on a trip of ten days over the state, to inspect the dairies and see what the sanitary conditions are of the state's milk supply as a whole. A LITTLE COLD. So the neighbors sadly said, As they gathered round his bed, When they heard that he was dead Neglect of a cough or cold often leads to serious trouble. To break up a cold in twenty-four hours and cure any cough that is curable mix two ounces of Glycerine, a half-ounce of Virgin Oil of Pine compound pure and eight ounces of pure Whisky. Take a teaspoonful every four hours. You can buy these at any good drug store and easily mix them in a large bottle. A Motor Hint. Miss Lillian Russell, who looks younger than her daughter, was talking about age at a dinner in New York. Miss Russell, who is always witty, ended with this mot: "It is a sure sign of age in a woman when she begins to get out of her motor car backwards." How's This? Belics of the Stone Age. During excavations conducted near Willendorf, on the Danube, by the prehistoric section of the Austrian Natural History museum, a chalk figurine, 11 centimeters high, has been discovered in a stratum containing instruments and weapons characteristic of the stone age. The figurine shows traces of having been painted and represents a female figure with remarkable precision of artistic execution. Looking Brighter. "Things are looking brighter now," says a Billville citizen. "The sheriff is now my brother-in-law, and he won't levy on my crop; the town doctor boards with me, and doesn't charge a cent for tellin' me that if I don't quit eatin' six meals a day I'll not live to be a hundred, and last of all, the head undertaker is my best friend, and has promised to fix me finally. "I feel that I don't half deserve so many blessings, but I've got 'em and I'm going to hold on to them."—Atlanta Constitution. One Was Enough for Johnny. The Sunday school lesson was from that scripture which teaches that if your brother strike you on one cheek, you should turn the other also and endure even for seventy times seven. Johnny had listened to his teacher very attentively, while she emphasized this fact, and after the lesson the superintendent rose to make a few remarks. "Now, boys," he said, "how many times ought another boy to strike you before you hit him back?" "Just about once!" promptly answered Johnny.—Dellneator. Mistake Somewhere. A story comes from a Kentucky town that is worth repeating. There lives there a woman who says that she has immediate communion with the Almighty, and now and then delivers to those of common clay a message that she has received from on high. The fact that these messages sometimes take on a very materialistic hue does not alter their effectiveness, in her opinion. One day she went into the office of a well known attorney and approached him solemnly as one about to reveal an awe-inspiring secret. "The Lord sent me to you for $25," she announced. The attorney looked up and smiled. "That must be a mistake," he replied, blandly, "because the Lord knows I have not it." Celestial communication was there-upon broken off. SOME HARD KNOCKS Woman Gets Rid of "Coffee Heart." The injurious action of Coffee on the heart of many persons is well known by physicians to be caused by caffeine. This is the drug found by chemists in coffee and tea. A woman suffered a long time with severe heart trouble and finally her doctor told her she must give up coffee, as that was the principal cause of the trouble. She writes: "My heart was so weak it could not do its work properly. My husband would sometimes have to carry me from the table, and it would seem that I would never breathe again. "The doctor told me that coffee was causing the weakness of my heart. He said I must stop it, but it seemed I could not give it up until I was down in bed with nervous prostration. "For eleven weeks I lay there and suffered. Finally Husband brought home some Postum and I quit coffee and started new and right. Slowly I got well. Now I do not have any headaches, nor those spells with weak heart. We know it is Postum that helped me. The Dr. said the other day, I never thought you would be what you are.' I used to weigh 92 pounds and now I weigh 158. "Postum has done much for me and I would not go back to coffee again for any money, for I believe it would kill me if I kept at it. Postum must be well bolled according to directions on pkg., then it has a rich flavour and with cream is fine." Read "The Road to Wellville," found in pkgs. "There's a Reason."

The United States Circuit Court for the Southern District of New York—sitting in New York City—has just awarded to the Carter Medicine Company a decree which again sustains the company's exclusive right to use the red package for liver pills. By the terms of the decree, it is, among other things: Adjudged that the Carter Medicine Company is the owner of the sole and exclusive right to the use of red colored wrappers and labels upon said small, round packages of liver pills of the style described in the bill of complaint; said right having been acquired by the prior adoption of said style and color of package for liver pills by the complainant predecessors more than thirty years ago, and established by the continuous and exclusive use of the same in constantly increasing quantities by said predecessors and by the complainant, the Carter Medicine Company, itself, from the time of their said adoption until the present day. The decision just announced is perhaps the most important and far-reaching of all, by reason of the character of the tribunal which rendered it. No Court in the country stands higher.

The gown is made up over a closely fitted slip of pale pink satin. A large rose trims the bodice at the front, and there are touches of pale rose velvet ribbon here and there. The gown on the right is a pale green satin, with lace overdress. Handsome Gown That Would Make Up Handsomely in a Dove Gray Cashmere. Dove gray cashmere would make up charmingly in this style; a panel is made from shoulders to hem in front, and at the back it is continued as far as the yoke, which is arranged at the top of sides of skirt; the lower part of skirt is plaited and set to yoke, the plaits being stitched down about six inches. Russia braid put on in a T wavy pattern forms the trimming; the waist-band of folded chiffon velvet is taken under the edges of front panel, holes being cut and button-holed for it to pass through; piece lace forms the yoke, which is outlined by Russia braid; the sleeve is set to a deep cuff. Hat of gray straw edged with black and trimmed with wings. Materials required: Eight yards cashmere_48 inches wide, $1\frac{1}{2}$ dozen yards braid, $1\frac{1}{2}$ dozen buttons, half yard piece lace. Overcast Together When heavy Russian crash, such as is now used for portieres, is too narrow in width, don't be dissuaded from the use of this beautiful colorless material, but just overcast its width together after the manner of the Bagdad portiere. You will find no hangings more effective for studio and library use than those soft-tboned crash, and the heavy linen overcasting down each seam will render them even more attractive. To do the overcasting use the coarsest of carpet thread or a flax that is sold in skeins. Season's Materials Marked with This Peculiar and Extremely Effective Touch. One of the odd and effective touches of the season materials is to weave a heavy thread of black through everything. This idea is evolved from homespun, the imported variety that has that flickering black or gray thread playing hide and seek over the surface. The new dull red basket cloth, which is the color of grapes, and is to be quite fashionable, has this thread of black looping in and out of the weave. Smart top coats for autumn wear outside of the city are of white cloth, with a black thread through it. A suit or coat of this rough cloth with a black thread is naturally trimmed in black. It looks as though we were coming in for a big season of black—hats, gowns, wraps and accessories. One hears more of the all black gown in the dressmaking houses than for years past. It is not now advised for economy's sake, but for fashion. All materials contribute to it. It is to be worn for the street, for the house, and quite a good bit for the evening. There is no hint of color being combined with it, but always a touch of white. Smart house gowns of black have yoke and sleeves of pin-tucked white tulle and then touches of facetted jet. The top coat of black in fur moire or cloth is highly fashionable and the epidemic of black hats is in full swag. opinion of black males is in full sway. Conservative women feel they are getting their feet on firm ground again when black and white is in first style. They have been pretty much buffeted by sartorial breakers recently and they are quite relieved to be safe again. It is fitted as carefully as a princess frock. It is warranted not to "bunch." The latest is a silk skirt lined with flannel. This gives warmth, and keeps the flannel from riding up when rubbed against an outer skirt. The plain flannel skirt is often made with a carefully fitted hip yoke. Again it is completely circular, fitted over the hips and with fulness around the knees. The most usual finish around the bottom is scallops, heavily padded and worked in buttonhole stitch, or crocheted lace. The New Hat Pins The arts and crafts are steadily making their way into all channels of decoration. All this work goes especially well with the Byzantine and Moyen age, through which we are passing. Their newest contribution to feminine apparel is the hat pin. These are quite popular. They are made with squares or circles, of a greenish bronze, decorated with quaint symbols. Canadian Work Flax cloth is a curious homespun made in Canada by the women of the country districts. Their city cousins have converted it into attractive fancy pieces for household decoration. It is darned with a fleecy wool for bedspreads, tablecovers and hangings. COR. 15TH & LARIMER STS.
