PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADVERTISE IN THIS PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY Publicity In Religion That the printing press is the appropriate and indispensable adjunct of the pulpit was lately recognized in a very striking manner by a proposition in the report of Men and Regilious Movement. That report strongly advocated the establishment of a central publicity bureau for the dissemination of religious news. We have not heard that this has been done, and the project may be one whose realization is to be looked for in the indefinate future. Within a very recent period, however as we are reliably informed, a religious publicit bureau has been established in another quarter. It is organized and controlled in the interest of the Roman Catholic Church, and it sends out regularly a service of considerable volume to a large number of publicans, mainly secular newspapers. Its work is skillfully done so that it may not give offense to the general public, and their suspicions may not be awakened to the real purpose. It is a well planned campaign for the education of the American people in the religion of the Roman. This is a wholly new line of tactics in the great campaign which Rome is now conducting with the ultimate object of securing religious and ascendancy in the United States. Protestantism has its struggling factions and its rival denominations, which their varying and oftimes conflicting interests, while the Roman Church has the tremendous advantage of solidarity, the whole body minds of young and old the seed which it trusted to bring a harvest of popular toleration and appreciation. It hopes in time to bring our people to the accepting of the idea of an American pontiff. This is the continent-wide program of education that has been already begun. What has the Protestant churches of America done, or what can they do to counteract this new agency which has taken possession of the field? We should like to ask how the Men and Religion Movement proposes to meet the emergency. If the vast wealth of the Catholic Church is being employed for such a purpose, it can only be effectively met by a like movement, on a larger and broader scale, by American Protestantism, which has at its disposal all that is needed. The time has gone by for sectarian quarrels and denominational divergences. American Protestantism must unite its force and its denominations must stand shoulder to shoulder if it means to maintain its integrity and retain its hold upon the faith, the confidence and the support of the people. Neither the creed of Rome nor the personality of its leaders is now in question. It is the Romanists campaign for political and religious supremacy in the nation that must be considered as a whole. That there are many Catholics who take little or no interest in such a plan, and who may even mildly disapprove, is not the point. The plan exists; is already working; and it will continue to work practically without opposition, until Protestantism is awakened to the seriousness of the situation.—Christian Herald. ATTUCKS MONUMENT TO BE REMOVED Boston, Mass.—The liberty loving citizens of this commonwealt and the race loving people in particular are all agog over the report that has gained circulation here, that Crispus Attucks' monument is to be removed from Boston Commons. The report gained credance rapidly and some go so far as to assert that a Southern Society has asserted its influence to the extent that the monument, the pride of years, will soon be removed elsewhere. Confirmation of these sensational reports is a hard matter, but your correspondent has talked with a number of persons with sufficient standing in DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY. JUNE 29 1912.

Will the younger generation, stand for this wanton insult to the sacred memory of William Lloyd Garrison. Wendall Phillips, Charles Sumner and Harriet Beecher Stowe and the hundreds of other race patriots would almost be a farce if such a project were allowed to be carried out. What is Boston going to do about it? INSULT RESENTED (From Chicago Defender) A delegate walked into the Keystone Hotel Thursday night with the air of Jack Johnson, and said to a party of friends, "Say, I just had to get me some 'cracker.' I could not stand that white man's talk any longer, and when a few white friends gave me assurance that they would stand by me I resented an insult that I trust all Negroes will resent, and that is about our women. Before telling me to remove my hat, he in that Southern way of bragging of what they did to niggers and how he treated Negro women in the South and all a white man had to do was to tell him his place and he would get in it without any trouble; all this was talked of within my hearing. Then, too, he said, 'I will show you what to do—I will just go over there and make that "nigger" take off his hat. "His friends watching him, he came over to me and said, 'Nigger, where are you from?' and in the same breath told me to remove my hat. I was sure that I was in Chicago, where the citizens give everybody a show, regardless of color, and I lauded him square under the chin, with a wicket right to the jaw, which floored him. The men with whom he had been talking laughed out, and the gentlemen with whom I had been talking stampeded things and helped me out of the hotel. We hustled up Michigan avenue to the I. C. depot and talked and laughed over the affair, and we said "goodnight, to each other. 'When I first entered the hotel he said, 'You can buy any of those "niggers" votes, and I got fighting mad then. Well, I have made a convert out of him, and I bet in the future he will not talk to another gentleman like that.'" Turning to the reporter of the Defender he sain, You need not use my name, nor the state from whence I come, but you may tell the story, and let the world know that we are not cowards down there when we are given a man's chance. We will hold our own with any of them." NEGRO BOY A REAL HERO There is a Negro boy in Canton, Texas who has proven himself a real hero, and there are two happy parents in the vicinity of the little town who feel that they never can pay him for the debt of gratitude they owe him for the rescue of their darling baby from a lingering death. Little Calvin Stepp, a child of three years, fell into a 60-foot bored well. It was dry and had been abandoned, but was insecurely covered. Owing to the fact that the well was very narrow—only 13 inches in diameter, the body of the child struck from side to side, thus breaking the fall. Strange as it may seem, the little one was unharmed. Its voice could be heard calling: "Tome, dit me out." The mother insisted upon being lowered into the well and she made a desperate effort to descent but her shoulders could not be forced through the narrow opening. For two hours or more, fruitless attempts at rescue continged. Hope was dying in the hearts of all when Elbert Gray, a Negro lad of 13, arrived at the well. "I'll go down," he said. A rope was fastened about his body and he was lowered feet foremost, to the bottom of the well. He grasped the child by the sleeves of its dress and the two were raised 40 feet, when the cloth tore apart and the child fell to the bottom again. A loop was fastened about his ankles and he was lowered into the cavity head downward. He carried a rope in his hands with which he made a noose under the baby's arms. Both were swiftly drawn to the top neither very much injured. Glad cheers from the crowd and tearful thanks from the parents greeted the boy. Twenty-five dollars was raised for him at the well and a much larger sum was given him in town. Truly, as has been said, of him, "Bravery is not all in uniform and an intrepid heart may beat under a ragged shirt and a black skin."—Grit.

RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES John Patrick, a chief gunner's mate in the United States Navy, reenlisted on board the U. S. S. Franklin at a monthly rate of $100.-31. Patrick is a Negro and has had over twenty-seven years' service. He will soon be eligible to retire on a handsome annuity. Speaking at one of the sessions of the recent fourth annual convention of the National Association for the advancement of colored people in Chicago. Miss Anna Jones, a prominent white woman, paid a glowing tribute to the race when she said: "The Negro owns 300,000 plantations in the South and more than 400,000 homes. He has crept ahead in literature and oratory and 200 years more, if given an equal chance, will creep up in attainments to the highest deams of the white man's civilization." Pine Bluff, Ark., June 15.—The first white man to be executed in Jefferson county in more than fifty years was executed upon a scaffold which he had himself constucted for the execution of Negroes. In 1902, W. T. Nichols, a carpenter, then 28 years old, erected a gallows on the grounds of a poor-house, one mile west of the city, little deaming that the fatal tree he built so strong would ten years later bear as its fruit his own body, condemned to death for the murder of his wife. It was built; unaided, by Nichols, for the execution of a Negro, Elisha Davis, and in the fall of 1911, another Negro, Jack Blackburn was hanged upon it. Birmingham, Ala., June 18.—Arthur Jones and Will Watson, white, will be hanged July 19 for the killing of John Holland, a Negro. Sentence was passed on them by Judge Cahalan, who after fixing the date of the execution, addressed the two men, telling them that while he did not care to dispel any hope that they might have as to ultimate escape from the sentence, he did hope that they would in the time allotted to them, for spiritual consolation and prepare themselves to meet their deaths an their Maker. The silence that prevaile in the court while the sentence was being imposed was intense. New York, June 20.—An actual blackhand, the police say, today laid a bomb on the stair of the tenement occupied exclusively by colored persons at 317 West Thirty- NO 42 ninth street. A big panic followed and six of the tenants were badly cut and bruised by flying fragments The building, four stories high, was so badly wrecked that it will have to be condemned, the temement house department asserted. The front wall was put out of plum. Edward Johnson, keeper of the saloon and dance hall on the first floor of the building, said after the explosion that he had no enemies and did not believe that the work of vengeance was directed against him. The Georgia delegation to the convention will ever remember Chicago, After a long and tedious trip their special car was wrecked in the railway yards in this city. The entire delegation was badly shaken up and many of them sustained painful injuries. When interviewed by s Defender reporter, Hon Henry Lincoln Johnson, Recorder of Deeds in Washington, in charge of the party, said that the accident was the fault of the railroad company, as the car was an old, dilapidated wooden coach and in the make-up of the train it was placed between two steel cars. The accident happened as the train entered the yards, a sudden stopping and then a sudden starting and the car was crushed like an egg-shell. The Dutch Boers and the British colonists in South Africa, who now dominate the county comprehended in British South Africa, have done what they could to disinherit the native blacks and to reduce them to a cipher in the Europeanized governments. Before the British conquered the Dutch Free States the Europeans had developed an administrative policy that excluded the native population from any participation whatever as citizens. They were regarded as serviles and treated with less consideration than dumb creatures, "having no rights which a white man bound to respect," as our Chief Justice Taney defined the condition of American slaves. When the British conquered the Dutch Republics and consolidated them with other possessions in the British South African Union, the natives were not included in the terms of citizenship and now have no status as citizens. Such a people so situated are bound to have grievances, as people who have no part, no voice, in making and enforcing the laws under which they live, unavoidably have.

A "valedictory" statement was read in behalf of Col. Roosevelt asking that his name be not presented and that his delegates sit in mute protest against all further proceedings. A great majority of the Roosevelt delegates in the Illinois and all in the Missouri and Idaho delegations declined to follow this advice, but Col Roosevelt's sway over delegations from California, Kansas, Maine, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, South Dakota and West Virginia was all but absolute. Most of the delegates from these states announced their purpose of helping give Mr. Roosevelt an independent nomination at another hall later in the evening. The split in the convention occasioned no surprise. It was but a fulfilment of predictions that had been made during the last several days.

Roosevelt delegates present, not voting, numbered 343. There were 53 noes, 36 of them from the La Follette states of Wisconsin and North Dakota. Senator La Follette was placed before the convention, but Col. Roosevelt's wishes were carried out by his followers, and they remained silent during the call of the states for nominations. Many of the delegates, however, carried out their primary instructions and voted for the colonel. VOTE BY STATES. *2 votes for Hughes in Pennsylvania. President Taft Hears the News. Washington.—President Taft spent the day Saturday about as usual, finishing the afternoon on the golf links with his sons, Robert and Charles. He gave out a statement in which he said: "A national convention of one of the great parties is ordinarily important only as a preliminary to a national campaign for the election of a President. The Chicago convention just ended is much more than this, and is in itself the end of a pre-convention campaign presenting a crisis more threatening and issues more important than those of the election campaign which is to follow between the two great national parties. "The importance of the great victory which has been achieved cannot be overestimated. All over this country patriotic people are breathing more freely that a most serious menace to our Republican institutions has been averted." "PROGRESSIVES" NAME ROOSEVELT "PROGRESSIVES" NAME ROOSEVELT GATHERING AT ORCHESTRA HALL TO LAUNCH NEW PARTY BE-GINS ACTIVE OPERATIONS. COLONEL WILL ACCEPT NATION · WIDE ORGANIZATION PLANNED FOR CAMPAIGN—DEN VER AFTER CONVENTION. Chicago.—Former President Theodore Roosevelt was nominated for President on an independent ticket Saturday night, in the dying hours of the Republican National convention in which he had met defeat. The followers of Col. Roosevelt gathered in Orchestra hall, less than a mile from the Coliseum, and pledged their support to the former President. In accepting the nomination Col. Roosevelt appealed to the people of all sections, regardless of party affiliations, to stand with the founders of the new party, one of whose cardinal principles, he said, was to be, "Thou shalt not steal." "Thou Shalt Not Steal," to Be Slogan. The informal nomination of Col. Roosevelt was said to be chiefly for the purpose of effecting a temporary organization. Beginning immediately the work of organization will be pushed forward rapidly, state by state. Col. Roosevelt in accepting the nomination told the delegates that he did so on condition that they would return to their homes, find out fully the sentiment and wishes of the people they represented, and that they would again assemble, at some other city, and hold a national convention, when, he said, he would step aside did the new party decide to declare for another standard bearer. It was said that in all probability the convention of the new party would be held in Denver. Scores of telegrams poured in on the Roosevelt leaders urging Denver for the meeting place, and it was the universal sentiment among the delegates that that city would get the first convention of the new party. A speech nominating Col. Roosevelt was made by Comptroller W. A. Prendergast of New York, who was to have pressed the colonel's name to the bolted convention. William Draper Lewis of the University of Pennsylvania law school, who was to make one of the seconding speeches, delivered the address which he had prepared for the Republican convention. Representatives of 22 states composed the notification committee which informed Col. Roosevelt of his nomination, and in a sense stood as sponsors for the movement. Men from Twenty-two States Notify Roosevelt. The committee consisted of Comptroller W. H.

Rocky Mountain Metropolis. Denver.—The action of the Roosevelt delegates to the national convention at Chicago in organizing a convention of their own and nominating Colonel Roosevelt for President at the head of a new party, and the acceptance of Roosevelt on condition that their action be ratified at a regular convention, makes it more than probable that Denver will succeed in bringing the third party gathering here. The Denver boosters say that as they are first in the field for the convention with offers that cannot be considered lightly by the third party leaders, Denver's chances are therefore exceptionally bright. The civic organizations worked all day Saturday with the convention in view. Meetings were held, pledges of business men that they would do everything in their power to bring the convention here, and make it a success, were obtained, and the campaign for the convention was in full swing. As a result of the meetings telegrams were sent to the political leaders of the third party urging them to work for Denver. Colonel Roosevelt himself received several, as did his managers and the Colorado members of his camp in Chicago. Chicago.—During the reading of the platform, Fairbanks was forced to suspend for a few minutes to await the subsidence of a demonstration for William Jennings Bryan, who had arisen from his place in the press section to start for his train to Baltimore.

Chicago.—The platform adopted by the Republican National Convention is as follows: THE PLATFORM. The Republican party, assembled by its representatives in national convention, declares its unchanging faith in government of the people, by the people and for the people. We renew our allegiance to the principles of the Republican party and out devotion to the cause of Republican institutions established by the fathers. It is appropriate that we should now recall with a sense of veneration and gratitude the name of the first great leader who was nominated in this city, and whose lofty principles and superb devotion to his country are an inspiration to the party he honored—Abraham Lincoln. In the present state of public affairs we should be inspired by his broad statesmanship and by his tolerant spirit toward men. The Republican party looks back on its record with pride and satisfaction, and forward to its new responsibilities with hope and confidence. Its achievements most luminous pages in our history. Our greatest national advance has been made during the years of its ascendency in public affairs. It has been genuinely and always a party of progeny and power either stately or reactionary. It has gone from the fulfilment of one great pledge to the fulfilment of another in response to the public need and to the popular will. We believe in our self-controlled representative democracy which is a government of laws, not of men, and in which order is the prerequisite of success. PRINCIPLES. The principles of constitutional government, which make provision for orderly and effective expression of the popular will, for the protection of civil liberties, for the interpretation of the law by an untrampled and independent judiciary, have proved themselves capable of sustaining the structure of government which, after more than a century of development, has increased by millions of people, scattered over a wide and diverse territory, but bound by common purpose, common ideals and common affection to the constitution of the nation and to the constitution and the principles asserted and vitalized by it, the United States has grown to be one of the great civilized and civilizing powers of the earth. It possesses the ambition and the industrious from other lands. Resting upon the broad basis of a people's confidence and a people's support and managed by the people themselves, it goes on to meet the problems in the future as satisfactorily as it has solved those of the past. PARTY OF PROGRESS. The Republican party is now, as always, a party of advanced and constructive statesmanship. It is prepared to go forward with it. As so many businesses and political development have brought into the forefront of the nation's interest. It will strive, not only in the nation, but in the several states, to protect the public health and safeguard the public health; to limit effectively the labor of women and children; to protect wage-earners engaged in dangerous occupations; to protect workers' compensation laws in place of the present wasteful and unjust system of employers' liability; and in all possible ways to satisfy, and in all possible ways to study and solution of the complex and constantly changing problems of social welfare. RIGHTS OF PEOPLE. In dealing with the questions it is important that the rights of every individual to the freest possession and resources and to the control of his own justly acquired property so far as those are compatible with the rights of others, shall not be interfered with or deterred. The social and political structure of the United States rests on the civil liberty of the individual, and for the protection of that liberty and state constitutions, put definite limitations on themselves and on their governmental officers and agencies, and on one another to ensure the orderly and coherent exercise of governmental power and to protect the rights of even the humblest and cast favored individuals and functions of independent courts of justice. COURTS UPHELD The Republican party reaffirms its intention to uphold at all times the authority and integrity of the government and it will ever insist that their powers to enforce their process, and to protect life, liberty and property, shall be properly method is provided under our situation of government by which the people may, when they choose, alter or amend the constitution, underlie that government. Until these constitutional provisions are so altered or amended, in order fashion, the laws of the country will it that, when challenged, they are enforced. That the courts, both federal and state, may bear the heavy burden laid upon them to the complete satisfaction of their duties, the legislation to prevent long delays and the tedious and costly appeals which have so often amounted to a denial of justice, civil cases and to the large in criminal cases. REMOVAL OF JUDGES Since the responsibility of the judiciary is so great, the standards of judicial action must be always where above suspiciousness in approach. While we regard the recall of judges to the court and unwise, we favor such action as may be necessary to simplify the process by which any judge who is found to be derelict in his duty may be removed from office. Together with peaceful and orderly development of the nation, the Republican establishment favors all measures for the establishment and protection of the peace of the world and for the development of closer relations with other nations and earth. It believes most earnestly in the peaceful settlement of international disputes and in the reference of all justifiable causes to an international court of justice. MONCPOLY. The Republican party is opposed to special privilege and to monopoly. It placed upon the statute the right to the important amendments thereto and the anti-trust act of 1890 and it has insistently and successfully enforced it. It will take no backward step to permit the e-establishment in any degree of conditions which were intolerable. Experience makes it plain that the business of the country, which is not without disturbance, and at the same time without resort to practices which are abhorrent to the common sense, must be made more the enactment of legislation supplementary to the existing anti-trust act which will define criminal offenses those spaces to govern and to monopolize trade to govern and to monopolize trade. end that those who honestly intend to obey the law may have a guide for their action and those who aim to violate the law may the more surely be punished. The same certainty should be given to the law prohibiting combilies of business opportunity, that other_provision of commercial laws in order that no part of the field of business opportunity may be restricted by monopoly or combination, that business success honorably achieved may not be converted into crime and that the right of every man to acquire commercial success is necessary of life, in an open market, uninfluenced by the manipulation of trust or combination may be preserved. TRADE COMMISSION. In the enforcement and administration of federal laws governing interstate presses with a public engaged therein, there is much that may be committed to a federal trade commission, this placing in the hands of an attorney with the necessary now necessarily exercised by the courts. This will promote promptness in the administration of the law incident to court procedure. THE TARIFF We reaffirm our belief in a protective tariff. The Republican tariff policy has been of the greatest benefit to the country, developing our resources, providing our workingmen, against competition with cheaper labor abroad, thus establishing for our wage earners the American standard of living. The protective tariff is so woven into the fabric of our industrial and agricultural economy, that tariff for revenue only would destroy many industries and throw millions of our people out of employment. The products of the farm and the mines should receive the same measure of protection of the farm and the mines can labor. We hold that import duties should be high enough while yielding a sufficient revenue to protect adequately American industries and wages. It is important that they too high and should be reduced. Readjustment should be made from time to time to conform to changed conditions and to reduce ex-ship duties without injury to American industry. To accomplish this correct information is indispensable. This information can best be obtained by an expert commission, as the large number of tariffs the recent reports of the tariff board has demonstrated. The pronounced feature of modern industrial life is its enormous diversification. To supply tariff rates justly to these changing conditions requires the use of the scientific methods than ever before. The Republican party has shown by its creation of the tariff board its recognition of this situation and its deference to the laws. We denom the Democratic party for its failure either to provide funds for the continuance of this board or to make some other provision to allow it to remain a responsive site for intelligent tariff legislation. We protest against the democratic method of legislating on these vital impurities; its lack of investigation. We condemn the Democratic tariff bills passed by the house of representatives of the sixy-second congress as secondary, as inert, and as destroying business enterprises. COST OF LIVING. The steadily increasing cost of living has become a matter not only of national but of world-wide concern. The need to insure its safety has led to a tariff system is evidenced by the existence of similar conditions in countries which have a tariff policy different from our own, as will have been increased when rates of duty have remained stationary or been reduced. The Republican party will support a prompt, scientific inquiry into the causes which are operative both in the United States and elsewhere to insure its safety. The exact facts are known it will take the necessary steps to remove any abuses that may be found to exist, in order that the cost of the food, clothing and shelter of the population may be unduly or artificially increased. BANKING AND CURRENCY. The Republican party has always stood for a sound currency and for safe banking methods. It is responsible for the resumption of specie payments and for the establishment of a currency system. It is committed to the progressive development of our banking and currency system. Our banking arrangements today need further revision to meet the needs of the people. We need measures which will prevent the recurrence of money panics and financial disturbances and which will promote the prosperity of business and the welfare of the hardworking people by producing consistent employment. We need better currency facilities for the movement of crops in the West and South. We need banking arrangements under American auspices for the encouragement and better conduct of the trade. In these these ends the organization of individual banks, whether organized under national or state charters, must be carefully protected and our banking and currency system be safeguarded from any potential development by sectional financial or political interests. It is of great importance to the social and economic welfare of this country that its farmers have facilities for borrowing easily and cheaply to finance productivity of their land. It is as important that financial machinery be provided to supply the demands of farmers for credit as it is that the banking and currency systems be reformed in the interest of general business. Therefore, we recommend and urge an authoritative investigation of the agricultural credit societies and corporations in other countries, and the passage of state and federal laws for the establishment and capital supply of overseas banking for their purpose the loaning of funds to farmers. CIVIL SERVICE We reaffirm our adherence to the principle of appointment of public office based on good behavior and efficiency. The Republican party stands committed to the maintenance, extension and enforcement of the laws that favors the passage of legislation empowering the President to extend the competitive service so far as practicable. We also believe that the retirement of disabled and superannuated members of the civil service in order that a higher standard of efficiency may be maintained will the amendment of the federal employees' liability law so as to extend its provision to all government employees as well as to provide a more liberal scale of compensation for injury and death. CONTRIBUTIONS. We favor such additional legislation as may be necessary more effectually to prohibit corporations from contributing funds, directly or indirectly, to American elections, to nominate candidates to the President, the Vice President, senators and representatives in Congress. We heartily approve the act of Congress requiring the fullest publicity in regard to all campaign contributions to all campaigns with primaries, conventions or elections. We rejoice in the success of the distinctive Republican policy of the conservation of our national resources, for their use by the people without waste. We also rejoice in the ability ourselves to a continuance of such a policy. We favor such fair and reasonable rules and regulations as will not discourage or interfere with actual bona fide homeseekers, prospectors and miners in the acquisition of public lands under ex- PARCELS POST.

We approve the action taken by the President and the Congress to secure with Russia, as with other countries, a right of expatriation and that will prevent all discrimination of whatever kind between American citizens, whether national religion or previous political allegiance. The right of asylum is a precious possession of the people of the United States not to be surrendered nor restricted. THE NAVY. We believe in the maintenance of an adequate navy canary force, and we believe in the action of the Democratic House of Representatives in refusing to build the construction of additional ships. MERCHANT MARINE. We believe that one of the country's most urgent needs is a revived merchant marine. There should be American ships, and plenty of them, to make use of the greatest merchant-oceanic canal now nearing completion. **FLOOD PREVENTION.** The Mississippi river is the nation's drainage ditch. Its floodwaters, gathered from thirty-one states and the Dominion of Canada, constitute an overpowering source of floods. Its torrents over many million acres of the richest land in the Union, stopping mails, impeding commerce and causing great loss of life and property. These torrents are the most dangerous as theasters they produce seriously affect the general welfare. The states unaided cannot cope with this giant problem, hence we believe the federal government should assume the proportion of the burden of the control over the disasters from recurring floods. RECLAMATION: We favor the continuance of the policy of the government with regard to the reclamation of arid lands, and for the encouragement of the speedy settlement and improvement of such lands we favor an amendment to the law, which would extend the time within which the cost of any reclamation project may be repaid by the land owners. RIVERS AND HARBORS. We favor a liberal and systematic policy, which includes the protection of water and harbors. Such improvements should be made upon expert information and comparison of cost and prospective benefits. ALASKA. We favor a liberal policy toward Alaska to promote the development of the great resources of that district, with such safeguards as will prevent waste and allow development. We favor the opening of the coal lands to development through a law leasing the lands on such terms as will invite development and provide fuel for the navy while retaining the Pacific ocean, while retaining the United States to prevent monopoly. PHILIPPINE POLICY. The Philippine policy of the Republican party has been and is inspired by the people toward Filipino people is a national obligation which shows plainly entirely free from parti- cial politics. IMMIGRATION. We pledge the Republican party to the enactment of appropriate laws to give relief from the constantly growing evil of induced or undesirable immigration which is inimical to the progress and peace of the people of the United States. SAFETY AT SEA. We favor the speedy enactment of laws to provide that seamen shall not at sea be compelled to endure involuntary servitude, and that life and property at sea shall be safeguarded by the ample equipment of vessels with life-saving appliances and with full complementes of aid able-bodied seamen to operate them. ACCOMPLISHMENT. The approaching completion of the Panama canal, the establishment of a bureau of mines the institution of postal savings banks the increased provision of firearms for the army and the firm soldiers and sailors of the republic and for their widows, and the vigorous administration of the laws relating to pure food and drugs, all mark the successful progress of Republican administration in the additional evidence of its effectiveness. ECONOMY. We commend the earnest effort of the Republican administration to secure greater economy and access to services of the government business, extravagant appropriations and the creation of unnecessary offices are an injustice to the taxpayer and a bad ex- CIVIC DUTY We call upon the people to quicken their interest in public affairs, to condemn and punish lynchings and other crimes, and to enlist in all possible ways a respect for law and the observance of it. Indifferent citizenship is an evil from which the law affords no adequate protection and for which legislation can provide no remedy. ARIZONA AND NEW MEXICO We congratulate the people of Arizona and the people of the United States, those states, thus merging in the Union in final and enduring form the last remaining portion of our continental territory. REPUBLICAN DEEDS. We challenge successful criticism of the sixteen years of Republican administration under President McCain Roosevelt. We nearly reaffirm the indorsement of President McKinley contained in the platform of 1909 and of 1904, and that of platform Roosevelt, also indorseved in the platform of 1904 and 1908. We invite the intelligent judgment of the American people upon the administration of William H. Taft. The country has prospered and been able to accomplish the years in which he had the co-operation of a Republican congress an unexamined amount of constructive work, and the interest of the people and in obedience to their wish. That legislation is a record on which any administration might appear to the confidence to the people and in obedience to their wish. We appeal to the American electorate upon the record of the Republican party and upon this declaration of its faith, that we are confident that under the leadership of the candidates here to be nominated our appeal will not be in vain; that the Republican party will meet every declaration of the people, whose servant it is; that under its administration and its laws our nation will continue to advance; that peace and security will be maintained by the people and that new glory will be added to the great republic. Borah Stays With Taft. Chicago.—Senator W. E. Borah of Idaho declared Saturday night that he would support the nominee of the convention but that he did not care to discuss it. Governor Johnson of California stated that he would remain in the Roosevelt camp. $110,000 AVAILABLE FOR INVESTMENT Members of 9th Cavalry Issue Appeal and "Scheme Note." SUGGEST DEPARTMENT STORE—COLORED CAVALRYMEN WANT TO BRING RACE CLOSER TOGETHER—SOLDIERS ARE SAVTHEIR MONEY. Cheyenne, Wyo.—The members of the Ninth cavalry, stationed at Fort D. A. Russell, through Sqdn. Sergt. Maj. Milton T. Dean, have issued an appeal to the negroes of the United States to get closer together along business lines. To show that they desire to play a prominent part in bringing about a closer racial feeling the cavalrymen make known that they have $110,000 available for investment in wholly legitimate business. The colored soldiers propose to establish a department store, to consist of a banking system, millinery and dry goods, shoe, drug, grocery, soda fountain, restaurant and cigar departments, such a store to be opened in one of the cities where a large population of negroes is found. The appeal and "scheme note" of the members of the Ninth cavalry follow: We of the Ninth U. S. cavalry send out this broad appeal feeling the keen and absolute necessity of a closer cooperation on the part of the individuals of the race. Such an appeal should not be passed by without serious consideration, comment and action of some kind. We must awaken from that fear of venture and lack of push to enter new fields, such powerful factors in the material advancement of other people. Can you not come to us, can you not attempt, at least, the gathering in of the thousands of dollars which now flow into the pockets of the white man? SCHEME FOR PROFESSIONAL NE GROWS And now comes the part of this note to which we most earnestly urge and implore from all the insight, thought and action it desires. A scheme which will meet the demands not only of the colored soldier but his civilian brother as well impels us to present this subject as being a departure into a field ripe at this time for the entrance of the negro. It is given to the progressive men of the race and when we say "progressive men," we refer to the men inclined in that direction of legitimate business which has in a measure fitted them for such a task and men who are in a position to secure the necessary support. The financial status of the soldier is put before you. And bear up mind that the subject is not presented to you by one whose experience, time and thought has not been carefully applied to the obstacles that may and will be encountered from many sources. We have in the race men possessed of these qualities—grit, push, perseverance, initiative, education and above all, probity—requisite in all successful enterprises. This subject seems big, is big, but hardly out of proportion or beyond the control of the abilities of the negro. It is said with all force of words this is within the grasp of accomplishment; it must be taken hold of and carried through regardless of the pooh-poohs some might cast upon it. Such is expected. Such an enterprise would and should stand as an indisputable monument of the position of the race as well as its ability in competition. ABOUT OUR COLORED SOLDIERS. The figures herein given are taken from the Ninth U. S. cavalry, but will also approximately cover similar conditions in the Tenth U. S. cavalry and the Twenty-fifth U. S. infantry—all of which are stationed in the United States. They are compiled from the troop and regimental records based upon the present day. In computing length of service increase a mean enlist period is taken which gives a near average rather than the true amounts, which are much more: Enlisted strength of regi- ment in time of peace..... 855 Number of men drawing pay equal to $21 or more, basic pay only considered..... 264 Number of men drawing pay less than $21, basic pay only considered..... 591 264 men—total pay per month..... $ 7,500.00 591 men—total pay per month..... 8,100.00 855 men—length of service increase per month..... 4,030.00 855 men—total pay per month per regiment..... $19,630.00 Average pay per man per month..... $ 22.96 Average deposits with go- vernment, with banks, or sent to relatives..... 5,847.00 Necessary expenses per man per month..... 2.25 Total savings, all sources, per month per regiment..... 5,000.00 Total expenses per month per regiment..... 1,923.75 Total savings and expenses per month per regiment..... 6,923.75 be expended of ..... $12,706.25 MANY SOLDIERS DO NOT DRINK OR SMOKE. All soldiers are not drinkers, many do not smoke, so we may conservatively say the average amount per man per month spent for liquor, tobacco and the revels incident thereto is $6.78, making a total per month per regiment of $6,776.90. In dress and display the soldier shows similar tastes to those of his civilian brother, so we have for such $6,929.35, giving for a year a sum of $83,152.20. The latter may be classed under the heading of "legitimate business" ($5,776.90). Of the prior amount we should take 65 per cent, as being spent for liquor and tobacco, which means $3,754.99 per regiment per month or for the year of $45,059.88. Add this sum to the legitimate business we have $128,212.08. That a further allowance for a larger sum being spent in an entirely different direction than above noted we will allow another reduction in savings and expenses and for legitimate business, leaving a figure for each of $80,000 business, and $30,000 savings, etc. This means we have added to the savings, etc., something like $18,212.08, giving a total of $25,135.83. The total pay per regiment for a year is..... $235,560.00 The total savings, etc...... 107,347.92 Leaving a balance of..... $128,212.08 But take away the above amount of..... 18,212.08 We have left as above..... $110,000.00 This amount is available for invest- ment in wholly legitimate business. An investment of $50,000 will hardly bring more than a four per cent dividend if left in banks, which means $2,000, this without the risks usual to the business ventures. Were this sum invested along the lines hereinafter enumerated the first year would show a net gain of about sixty per cent, covering a possible loss of $30,000, leaving a similar amount for expenses, etc. The soldier is not a fool nor so easily led into a bargain as some may surmise. His travels alone should dissipate such an idea. Upon this subject we desire to speak at length another time. The scheme is to establish a department store comprising the following: A banking system, a millinery and dry goods store, a shoe, a drug, a grocery, a soda fountain, restaurant and a cigar department. Suppose such a store was established in Philadelphia, in Washington, D.C. or Kansas City, localities where large populations of negroes are found. And suppose a mall order branch was inaugurated. Could not the military patrons be reached no matter the location of the store? COLORED BANK MESSENGER TRUSTED WITH MILLIONS RICHARD ALLEN OF KANSAS CITY HAS CARRIED HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS THROUGH THE STREETS AND NEVER STOLEN OR LOST A PENNY—WAS GIVEN A HOUSE. Kansas City, Mo.—Richard Allen, the oldest employee of the First National bank, has carried hundreds of millions of dollars through the streets of this city in the 26 years he has been in its service, says the Kansas City Times. Mr. Allen, who is a negro, is the medium through which all the cash which the bank ships to country banks and the institution's correspondents east and west and north and south is sent to the express office. Daily $25,000 to $50,000 is sent to country banks. Sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars in a day are sent to eastern and western points. "The bank has the most implicit faith in Mr. Allen," A. C. Jobes, vicepresident, said the other day. "We trust him absolutely." And as a token of the bank's appreciation, when the institution was 20 years old it made Mr. Allen a gift of a house and lot where he lives at 2324 Highland avenue. It was the bank's method of showing its appreciation of the high class service Mr. Allen had rendered in carrying hundreds of millions of dollars of the bank's cash through the streets of Kansas City and never losing a penny. When Mr. Allen first went to work for the bank he was a man on the street looking for any kind of a job he could find. Lombard Brothers' Banking company were opening for business in the Junction building 25 years ago when Mr. Allen walked in and asked for a job—any kind of a job he said. They gave him a job cleaning the tile floor, and when the bank wanted a porter Mr. Allen got the place. A few years later he became the bank's messenger, and for eighteen years he has been a trusted employee. Mr. Allen is commissioned as a deputy policeman and is always armed when he is carrying the funds of the bank. EGO. An ego is a Latinized I. All men are created egos and endowed by the Creator with certain inallenable some-things of which neither statute, ukase, edict, injunction, beggar, magnate, book agent nor promoter can deprive them. He who steals my purse steals trash, but he who filches from me my ego takes that of which he already has enough and makes me not at all. Women without votes have egos and, strangely enough, would still have them if they secured the votes; hence egos are not a political issue. An ego is what a man is when he has nothing and is nothing else; that is to say, he is then first person singular and no particular gender. An ego is neither soul, body, spirit, family, country nor race. It is neither moral nor pathological. A criminal has just as much ego as a parson and no more. Some egos are better than others, chiefly our own—Life. DELIVERED TO SUBSCRIBERS AT SIXTY CENTS A MONTH. A reduction of more than 20 per cent on former rates.

We call attention of our ministers to the result they might possibly have upon general public opinion, and especially in the way of bringing our people in closer business touch with the whites. The thought causes us to wonder if our churches and their ministers make as much effort along this line as they should. We have long felt that a minister who would devote his active efforts to encouraging temporal improvement among the colored people would be discharging an important duty to God. But many of our ministers appear to believe that the only great question engaging them is the outward success of the particular body they are leading, and that their duty to the general public and the race is only incidental. It seems to us that out of the church should grow many movements designed to put the Negro on higher ground. They ought to urge their congregations to the support of all such endeavors.

REFERENCE OF A. M. SESSION JUNE CAMPBELL'S DEL We have often contended that the conditions that confront us as a people must be accepted and faced, with a well-settled idea that the troubles we meet and the hardships we bear are the natural results of the times and circumstances through which we are passing, and that they can be removed only as we improve our own capacity for control, and by our higher attainments, overcome the causes out of which all of our difficulties have grown. We are too much given to looking to others for the removal of those inequalities of life which we so often complain, although with all of our supplications it is very evident that our burdens increase rather than diminish, unless we accept them as imposed, and start to make the best of them or to overcome them by our own patient energies and such reasonable improvement as we feel will fully meet the causes. To feel that we are entitled to every right enjoyed by any citizen of the United States is justifiable and proper, but to expect to obtain and rest secure in the enjoyment of those rights without undergoing a slow process of self-vindication is to become altogether thoughtless and impracticable. This is where many of our brightest minded men go wrong. The rights supposed to be guaranteed to us by the constitution of the land and its several amendments are continually abridged, denied or obviated, and no power in the land is successfully invoked to defend us from the perils with which we are thereby beset. Then shall we indignantly clamor for defenders that never defend, or shall we begin to realize that all these impositions are strength and genius? The latter course is to be the inevitable one. The Negro of this country, however, it may seem, must expect his rights to remain in jeopardy until he meets prejudice with wealth and culture instead of poverty and indignation. He must expect his legal and equitable rights to be assailed and sacrificed until he can meet his assailants with unimpeachable judgment and compact force against which unjust laws cannot stand. But to attain these powers of self-sustenance he must acquire and run his own farms, his own stores, his own banks and commercial houses, his own business systems and his own places of amusement—with them will come ability and that concrete form which compels recognition in all ranks of American life. There seems no escape from the conclusion that industrialism and wealth are to become the only sure foundation and bulwark of our peace and progress. DISTRICT CONFERENCE OF A. M. E. CHURCH IN SESSION JUNE 25 TO 27 AT CAMPBELL'S CHAPTER Christian people. The reports from the different departments were very satisfactory and encouraging. The District Conference of the A. M. E. Church, combining the Sunday school and Allen Christian Endeavor convened at Campbell church Tuesday morning and remained in session three days, there were three daily sessions. The program presented was an excellent one, the discussions on the different papers were spirited and showed deep research, as did also the papers. The music was an inspiring feature at the different sessions. Rev. J. C. C. Owens was the chief presiding prelate, assisted by Rev. R. L. Pope and others.

As we have said before, the post-office department is investigating the newspapers of Colorado in regard to these old accounts. For a year or two it has had a rule that newspapers cannot be sent at newspaper rates through the mails when the subscriber is more than a year behind. This rule has not been strictly enforced. The department seems to be taking this question up by states. Last year it was looking into the papers of Illinois and Kansas. This year it has reached Colorado and every paper has been asked recently for a detailed report. We want to bring The Colorado Statesman list up to the requirements. If you have received a bill for this paper it shows that you are a year or more behind, won't you kindly try to send us a check? If you can't send the money, please write us, anyway. We have been highly pleased with the large number of people who have responded to our request. About twenty-five people sent us checks on wrote us during the last three weeks? Last week one party wrote us that he had tried a half dozen times to stop his paper. We can hardly believe this. It is The Colorado Statesman's policy to stop a paper just as cheerfully as we start a new subscriber. We try to make a paper that will interest you. If for any reason you don't want it, we certainly don't want to send it to you. The actual cost of printing and sending The Colorado Statesman to you for a year is so near $2 that there is practically no profit in it at all. We can't afford to lose many subscriptions. If there is any question about your subscription, write us at once fully. We try to be absolutely fair in every instance. The man who took his paper and read it for five or six years, got a bill for it every year, then wrote that he didn't want the paper any time, was certainly not fair to us. We are sending out no free copies. If some one is sending you The Colorado Statesman you know it. There is simply no excuse for misunderstanding on this point. Kindly send us the money if you can. If you can't do so to-day, write us any way. The Colorado Statesman. SCOTT M. E. CHURCH NOTES. Mrs. Ella Carter won the first prize and Mrs. Florstein Dooley won the second prize awarded to the ticket-sellers for the Trolley Ride of last Thursday evening. The Trolley Ride was a great success and every one expressed that it was the most orderly of any that had gone out. The Stewards realized a neat sum above expenses as well as a round of novel pleasure. The Rev. J. D. Rice preached to a capacity audience last Sunday evening. The church was filled with his intimate friends and well wishers. The Rev. Rice has proved to the public that he is no second-rate preacher and will make his mark in the ministerial calling. His discourse, which was clear and logical, was heartily received by his auditors. Miss Alberta Middlebrooks is our representative in the ticket-selling contest between Central Baptist and Scotts for next Monday evening. Let us try and bring the first prize home. There will be two prizes awarded. It will be the occasion of literary and musical program and Aunt Jerushas Quilting Party. We urge all of Scotts members and friends to be at Central Monday evening.

NEARLY ENTIRE CITY OF QUAN AJUATO, MEXICO, WASHED AWAY. LOSS IS ENORMOUS HUNDREDS OF BODIES ARE SWEPT BEFORE RIVER'S SWIRLING WATERS. Western Newspaper Union News Service. San Francisco.—A special to the Chronicle from Los Angeles dated June 25 says: Nearly the entire city of Guanajuato, Mexico, was destroyed and about 1,000 lives lost as a result of a flood following a cloudburst, according to authentic private dispatches received from Mexico City. The water rose so rapidly that peons along the river were overwhelmed, without a chance of salvation. Few houses in the lower part of the city remain intact, and the Jardin del Cantader, or swinging garden, one of the most beautiful in the world, was entirely washed away. More than fifty magnificent private parks at the foot of Mount San Nicolas met the same fate. The river bed had been nearly filled with refuse from the mines of San Francisco de Pastita, the large tunnel passing under the city became choked, and when the cloudburst occurred the waters from the mountains dashed into the cup-shaped valley containing Guanajuato and submerged it. Before the populace awoke to a realization of its peril the pressure of water carried away a high dam and the flood abated, taking much of the city with it in the fearful current. Hundreds of bodies went down with the swirling flood and may never be recovered. A dozen haciendas below the city were wiped out of existence and every soul swept away. Guanajuato is the center of the second largest electric system in the republic. This is dependent on the waters of the river. Owing to the substantial character of the buildings, the plant successfully resisted the inundation and can be repaired. The loss is great. Appropriation Must Be Made. Washington.—President Taft will send a message to Congress pointing out the anomalous situation whereby the machinery of the federal government must continue in operation in direct violation of law, making officers liable to fine and imprisonment unless steps are immediately taken to provide funds for the next fiscal year, beginning July 1. The President will appeal for the passage of a resolution extending the necessary appropriations of the current fiscal year for a temporary period to tide over the emergency caused by the failure of the regular and deficiency appropriation bills to be enacted into law. It is expected that such a resolution will be introduced and passed by both houses. Exports Show Big Increase. EXPORTS SHOW BIG INCREASE. Washington.-Increases in both exports and imports are shown by a statement of the foreign commerce of the United States for the month of May and for the eleven months, ending with May, made public by the Commerce and Labor Department's bureau of statistics. Mayoress Wilson Not Candidate. Wichita, Kan.—Mayoress Ella Will son of Hunnewell, Kan., in an inter view declares that under no circum stances will she be a candidate to succeed herself when her term of office expires. Further than that she in tends leaving Hunnewell and probably the state of Kansas. Quebec Fire Loss $2,500,000. Chicoutimi, Quebec.—The fire which destroyed the cathedral, the Hotel Saguenay and hundreds of homes here, did a total damage estimated at $2,500,000. Five hundred families are without homes. China Rejects Big Loan. Washington.—China has rejected the $300,000,000 loan from the banking group of the six powers, probably because of the stipulation for foreign supervision of its expenditure. Solicitor General Resigns. 'Washington.—Frederick W. Lehmann, solicitor general of the United States, has placed his resignation in the hands of President Taft. Peace Prevails in Cuba.

The appellate division of the Supreme Court of New York held in a decision that the presence of bedbugs is justification for the breaking of a lease by a tenant. By a roll call vote of 208 to 149 the state constitutional convention rejected a proposed amendment to the constitution granting votes for women in New Hampshire. Ann Boston, the negro woman who stabbed and killed Mrs. R. E. Jordan, wife of a prominent planter at Pinehurst, Ga., recently, was taken from officers at Cordele by a mob and lynched. Progressive party headquarters for Illinois have been opened in the Congress hotel in Chicago. Medill Mcormick announced the opening and it was said permanent officers would be chosen later. Up to noon Tuesday sixteen bodies had been recovered from the Niagara river at Eagle Park, near Buffalo, N. Y., the scene of the recent drowning tragedy, and the official list of identified dead and missing reached a total of thirty. More than 2,000 teachers and pupils of the Chicago public schools have entered in a contest for prizes offered by Charles H. Wacker for the most artistically kept school yards and for other excellencies in city beautifying. The total of the prizes is $1,000. Nearly half a million dollars has been realized by the government from the sale of old junk at naval stations on the Aatlantic coast since May ?. The Brooklyn navy yard turned in $150,000, Norfolk $100,000, Boston $70,000 and Portsmouth $60,000. It is estimated that the government has a gold mine in the dumps and waste piles at navy yards and other places. The statement of clearing house banks for the week shows that the banks hold $29,239,750 reserve in excess of legal requirements. This is an increase of $1,458,850 in the proportionate cash reserve as compared with last week. Railroads throughout the United States are being addressed in an effort to exterminate the American ramp. The Prison Association of New York, which is directing the work wants a federal board to take charge of the campaign, the state government to pay their share of the cost. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS A man who will not pay an honest debt and know that he owes it, is a shameful sight any way you see him. This kind of fellow is a nuisance and should not be looked upon as a man—for a man, he be great or small, will unhesitatingly pay any debt that is honest and will be glad of the chance. But the other kind will lie, and lie and lie until they worry your patience, and then you are ready to give them the debt so as to stop them from lying and also saving you from making a daily visit to them trying to collect, as your time is worth money and while you are running them down, you could be doing something else, for there is nothing in them but "hot air." Many among these of which we speak, are so-called "big" men, "shining-light," "race-leaders," the "big-Iams," etc., and just these same kind, as a rule, will not pay a debt no way, shape, form or fashion unless you could pick it from their pockets. Remember that it is always best to come across in due tire, some day you may want another favor from your creditor and there you will be with your "little brown mitts" stuck out, but nothing doing because you failed to come across in due season. And wouldn't you feel ashamed? Of course you would! Some of us, it just seems; have a distasteful feeling toward a debt, and it is nothing strange to see us walk a mile out of the way to dodge the man we owe at, the same time we might not owe him but a "nickel." We will walk in the opposite direction and so far around that we will lose possibly a hundred nickels just on account of one—the one we owe the other fellow. Now, stop this unmanly way and be men and if you can't, then get into the "hobo" class and you will make a first-class one to be sure. There is no reason whatever that a robust, money-making man (and we have some on our books) that can't pay their debts. Of course they will swear by the "Eternal Moses" (laying it on the winter) that they are financially embarrassed, at the same time, when it is for their pleasure, and their pleasure alone, can have all manner of sport and at their own expense, costing them from $1 to $4 just as their sporting degree arises, but will stand as flat-footed as a camel and tell their creditor a lie that will make an angel believe if they were in this world. We will say to this lying class, please get out of the habit if possible, for there is nothing in it only you are making it harder on those who are trying to be honest. And the best for you to do is to relegate yourself to the kingdom of liars and you will be out of the way of the truthful, for there is a place prepared for all liars.—Palestine (Tex.) Plaindealer. A platform, like a foundation, should be built to stand upon and not to fall down upon. Character is in the nature of a platform; it is either good or bad. It can't be both and be of any service, any more than a person can serve two masters. The making of the platform, the making of the character, is the business of each person; as he makes it so will mankind measure and weigh the maker of it. We either serve that which we make, that we create, or it serves us; we are either the master or the slave of the thing we make, the thing we create. Take the whisky habit, the tobacco habit, the swearing habit; if we make them, create them for our pleasure, they make us serve them as their slave. Talking about the race question, which we have always with us, a wise friend recently said to us: "The negro should stand upon his own feet. He should make his own business interests, where he is the master, and thus be able to avoid or properly resent the insults and rebuffs he so often meets with in white business places, in many of which he is tolerated, curtly, as a patron, but not wanted as an individual." This is a mighty safe platform to stand upon and to work upon. As a matter of fact, our remarkable business development in the southern and southwestern states has been due largely to the attitude of white business interests that tolerated us as a patron but despised us, and take no pains to hide it, as an individual. A creature who would not resent that sort of attitude would be less than a person. We repeat: The negro should stand upon his own feet as a man, in all of the relations of life, or give of his life freely in the effort to do so.—New York Age. With all the emphasis at our command, we appeal to every young colored man who is now idling his time away on the street corners, in pool rooms and bar-rooms, to find something to do. Whatever may be your aversion to hard work, when you may be fitted for other things better and higher, we ask you to ponder a moment on the consequences of your idleness. By your congregation in public places and on public thoroughfares you advertise your race to the passing and censorious white public as a race of lazy licentious loafers. You furnish to that public a dangerous club with which it is beating your race over the head. By congesting street corners you invite to your midst all the criminal and vicious elements of the race who insult women and hatch crimes. Your very idleness will make you not only an easy victim of the Strong Arm. Squad, but it will breed in you, however high your ideals, a desire for the diversion of vice and mischief. You cannot stand still in this busy world. You must either go forward or you will go backward. You must either find something to do that will make for your progress and happiness or others will find something for you to do to your own degradation and your race's disgrace. Be up and on your way. Beware of corner loafing. Idleness is not only a curse to you, but a crime against all those connected with you. (It is a fact worthy of note that nearly all of those crimes that outrage the sense of humanity and strain the good relations existing between the races, were committed by men who were more or less habitual loafers and idlers. Blessed is the man who has found his work, and who sticks to it.) In a recent editorial urging compulsory education the Dallas News says: As to whites alone, the census bureau's collection shows that in 1900 there were 146,487 illiterates in Texas above the age mentioned, and that in 1910 there were 157,886, so that in ten years there was an actual increase of nearly 11,000 in the number of white illiterates. The percentage of them, however, decreased, owing to the rapid increase of the state's white population, the percentage having been 8.5 in 1900 and 6.7 in 1910. But among the Negroes illiteracy decreased both actually and proportionately, for in 1900 there were 167,618 illiterates, a percentage of 38.2 with respect to the population, while in 1910 there were only 124,618, a percentage of 24.6. In ten years the whites reduced the percentage of illiteracy by about 2 per cent., whereas during the same time the Negroes reduced the percentage of illiteracy among them by more than 14 per cent. In another double decade, at this rate, there would be less illiteracy, actually and proportionately, among the Negroes than among the whites. We believe that, with the immense resources under careful and capable business management, the True Reformers will yet pull out and again assume the glory of its earlier days. The affairs of the Cincinnati branch reached its climax a few days ago. Tired of procrastination, tired of unpaid bills, court proceedings were instituted in behalf of his clients by Mr. Edward E. Minnes, a young colored lawyer of this city. After conferences of the legal luminaries, the judge finally appointed Mr. Minnes receiver of the True Reformers here, which means that he has entire charge of its property in this county, the collection of rents and all bills the True Reformers, and power to sell all of its possessions here, if necessary, to get its affairs in proper shape and settle the outstanding claims. Mr. Minnes is under $5,000 bond. The honor that he has attained is unprecedented in this county, possibly in this state, as he has absolute jurisdiction over property whose value ranges between twenty-five and fifty thousand dollars. —Cincinnati Union. The St. Louis Central Afro-American indorses the position of the Kansas City Journal that negro church conferences are wise when they keep religion and politics separate and refuse to indorse this or that party and this and that candidate for office. This is the sane view of the question, acting on the reverse of which has in the past done so much damage to the good name of our churches. A preacher should be a partisan of course, but he should keep his politics out of the pulpit, except as a censor of bad practices of all sorts in the administration of the government. John the Baptist denounced moral corruption in Herod's court and family and was beheaded, and Jesus Christ denounced corruption in the priesthood and was crucified, but the abuses they denounced have in the progress of 1912 years become impossible in Gentile state and church administration without general condemnation In that steady progress which is being made by our people, it is easy to trace the influences which are at work shaping and molding character and lifting them up into the new life. This new life is the goal for which all men have striven and will continue to remain as the supreme reward of human endeavor and human strivings. It is the reward of faithful service, and is reached by a series of steps whose stays are as secure as anything which truth and right living can construct. Beginning at the lowest rung of the ladder, our people began to acquire the rudiments of education, save their earnings, buy homes, build churches and schools, organize societies and in many other ways lay the foundation for that gradual but sure success which has come to them. This superstructure have been well laid and now its future growth depends mostly upon our people themselves.—Clarksburg (W. Va.)

FRANK A. WADLEIGH, General Passenger Agent, DENVER, COLO. Denver, Colo. Denver, Colo Hats for Vacation Outings Are Simple in All Respects V LOOP TO REPLACE BUTTON|FLOWERS NOW IN PROFUSION HATS for outing wear are properly simple in shape and trimming. They should be light in weight, shade the eyes, and small enough to be out of the way of everybody. One may find them, answering these requirements, in all sorts of materials and qualifiers. There are grass hats (which are pretry with a light scarf draped about them) that cost only a quarter, and there are good looking straw hats for 50 and 75 cents. And at the other extreme are fine South American Panama hats that cost as much as one wants to pay. White felts and white fabric hats are in the running also, with the new native models developing considerable strength. The pictures given here will serve to show about the simplest and also the least simple methods of trimming used on this character of millinery. The hat of pique bound with a fold of the same and finished with a band and fan, could hardly be simpler. A hat in similar shape of Jap straw is bound with velvet and trimmed with velvet ears supported by wire. Against these Irish crochet balls and Far Better on Delicate Materials and Not at All Hard to Put Together. In putting together a lingerie waist it is often impossible to find a place in the delicate trimming for button-holes. As a substitute loops are used and a quick and easy method of making them is given herewith. Use a fine thread and tat single wheels of plain tatting the size you wish for the buttons to be used. Break them off with sufficient thread to sew them on with. They are easily sewn in place and are substantial. An easy way to make the wide tucks over the shoulder of shirt waists: Crease the goods at the perforations in the pattern, measure your tuck and put the goods under the needle at the right distance from edge to make the tuck the required width, attach your cloth gauge to the bedplate of the machine so that the edge of the cloth touches the gauge, and stitch the tuck—taking care to keep the edge against the gauge the full length of tuck. LAST WORD IN MILLINERY The Flower-Trimmed Hat at Its Smartsat. The Flower-Trimmed Hat at Its Smartsat. ornaments are served. This is as elaborate as one would care to have it, for an outing hat. The most elegant hat of all for outing wear is a good Panama. The fine ones stand a great amount of bending and wear and are successfully cleaned. Also they hold their color in the sun, and the color of the genuing Panama is very beautiful. These hats are most appropriately trimmed with scarfs of silk or bands and ornaments of ribbon. Some novel hats made of silk or other fabrics, shaped by rows of shirring on cords or fine wires, have been lately introduced for travelling. They are reversible and give one the advantage of a change, as the inside and outside are in different colors. An ornament may be pinned or sewed to such a hat upon occasion, and it will serve for regular street wear, especially if further decorated with a lace veil. It may be flattened out and carried in a suitcase if necessary, which is the great point of advantage in these flexible hats. For a sea voyage they are ideal. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Delightful Table Decorations Are Easily Possible at This Favored Time of Year. With the return of the flowers comes the desire to have the table decorated with some arrangement of blossoms. It is rather an expensive proposition during the winter, but flowers at this season are inexpensive; or we may call upon the woods and fields to provide bouquets for the table. An effective decoration is to fill a bowl with moss and arrange snowdrops and crocuses as if they were growing in their native home. The bowl should be shallow and wide. Twenty snowdrops and a few violets are enough to fill the bowl. They are more effective when not clustered. Small glass or china troughs may be purchased for the purpose of decorating the table. Each of these is an arc of a quarter circle, and may be arranged to form many designs. Short-stemmed flowers, pansies, violets, lilies-of-the-valley. The center or corners of a table are the proper places for flowers. Quantities of vases and holders, narrow and shapely, are made for the purpose of holding table flowers. Popular Feather. A notable novelty, and one that is appearing on every side in Parisian millinery, is the high knife feather or "couteau," carried out in curled ostrich plume. They are forthcoming in black, white and every modish color of the moment, and are exceedingly pretty. A couple of white "couteaux" and an edging of white plume on a black tricolorne shape, or black upon white, are fetching and becoming. Chiffon Poplin. Chiffon poplin with a rich border design in flowers strewn over satin cross stripes comes in the most beautiful colorings. It is very wide, reaching easily from the waistline to the ground, the border being the only trimming needed. EARL BARBER SHOP THE BARBER'S CAFE THE PEARL BARBER SHOP WHY?
