PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADV. IN THE PEOPLE'S PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY JACK JOHNSON IS URGING SCOTS TO JOIN THE BRITISH ARMY VOL XX11. "What's become of Jack Johnson?" queries some one in the sport world every now and then. "Yes, what has become of the Big Smoke? some one else remarks indifferently. Those who remember John Arthur in the days when he was the champion heavy weight fighter of the world—and Jack was in all his glory until April last—frequently have speculated as to whether he is still swaggering around somewhere with that "golden smile of his and that half-childish grin he used to wear. They have wondered if Jack still was leading a fried-chicken-and racing-automobile life or whether he was down to ham bones and street cars. Well, if anybody really wants to know where Jack Johnson is and what he is doing here is the answer: He is a volunteer recruiting agent for the British army, and just at present he is trying to interest the youth of Glasgow, Scotland, in the proposition of donning khaki and going out to fight the Germans. Jack has a big white automobile, still has his white wife with him and is playing profitable vaudeville engagements throughout Great Britain. He is doing his recruiting work on the side—and, of course, the publicity he gets from that isn't doing any injury to him as a theatrical attraction. No later than Friday last the big ex-champion with his white machine and a broad brimmed white hat drove to a big plaza in front of the Royal Exchange in Glasgow, stopped in the centre of it and began to address a crowd which gathered. He was introduced by Corpl. Baker of the Scottish Rifles, and the cabe reports say that he really made a very interesting speech. He said that he, although not a British subject, was doing his best to help the nation toward victory. He had donated two of his three automobiles to the Government, and he was trying to induce every strong, healthy young Scot to put on a uniform and go out and fight. He had fought many a battle himself, he told the crowd, but the young man to whom he was taking had opportunities far greater than any he ever had. The fights they had a chance of taking part in would mean something serious to their nation and to the whole world. When Jack had concluded his address and Corp. Baker said he was willing to accept any volunteers who cared to come forward. Nine young men stepped out of the crowd at once and enlisted. The Glasgow papers did not comment upon Johnson's work in a very friendly fashion at first, but when the volunteers were gained by his speech they praised him. Johnson beamed happily upon the crowd when the nine white men signed up for the army, and he shook hands with each of them and wished them luck. He is playing at a Glasgow vaudeville house in a so-called "revue." His color is nothing against him in the Scottish town, nor does there seem to be any criticism of the fact that he has a white wife. She, too, is playing in the piece. VOCATIONAL TRAINING IN HAWAII Students in the Territorial Normal and Training School, in Honolulu, have had, for a number of years, systematic training in various lines of vocational work-cooking, sewing, dressmaking, millinery, carpentry, printing, etc. All the Hawaii schools are feeling the outside pressure for "practical results," as are schools throughout America. This utilitarian demand has extended in every ramification of the public school system. The College of Hawaii, which corresponds in status to the state universities of the mainland, is placing strong emphasis upon its technical courses—sugar technology, engineering and plantation agriculture. It is endeavoring to relate itself to the local industries. The schools of the Territory, from college to primary grade, are striving as never before to produce a citizenship that can do the daily work of Hawaii. During the past school year this work has been much strengthened by giving such students practice work in teaching these vocational subjects. Under a volunteer system they are sent out daily in rotation, one to each of the large elementary schools in Honolulu, where each is given charge of a cooking or carpentry department. These cadets, after having actually managed the vocational departments in the larger schools, will upon graduation from the normal school, be competent to handle such work in the schools to which they are assigned. This system is working admirably, and in a few years Hawaii will have a corps of well trained vocational instructors, better fitted to cope with local conditions than teachers imported from the mainland—Southern Workman. DENVER COLORADO SATURDAY. DECEMBER 11, 1915 State House & Nat Hist Society State House ANTS WHO ADO JOURNAL DENVER COLORADO NEGATIVE THE SEST CORN GROWER Sebetha, Kansas, Dec. 1. —Howard Wilson, son of a Negro farmer near here, grew an average of $102\frac{1}{2}$ bushels of corn on five acres in the Kansas Agricultural College corn growing contest this year. James Wilson, the father, grew eighty-seven bushels of corn to the acre on 126 acres. Wilson will not permit a riding cultivator on his farm. It is to this and the fact that he plows deep that he attributes most of his success. Wilson grew more corn this season than his white neighbors. The reason for the walking cultivators is that when the cultivator misses a weed the driver will stoop and pick it up whereas on a riding cultivator the driver will not get down and pull weeds missed. A man could carry all the weeds on the entire three hundred and twenty acres Wilson is farming. FIFTIETH YEAR OF FREEDOM The last day of December ends the fiftieth year of freedom for Colored Americans. December 18th marks the exact ending of a half century of the freedom of a race. Naturally the career of a race freed by force among those who held them in chatel slavery would be beset with difficulties. As a matter of fact these Colored Americans have been stripped of all their rights in the former slaveholding sections, and have had their rights abridged in a larger part of the country. It must be admitted that this maltreatment has for fifteen years been on the increase and discrimination for color under law or by the government. It is agreed that the oppressed and proscribed should resist through organization. All this being so, is it not true that Colored Americans will do wisely to meet and deliberate upon their civil and political status after fifty years of freedom? Should we not take account of stock? The answer must be in the affirmative. Surely there should be a national convention for this purpose. It should be open to all who are in earnest. Such a convention is the Eighth Annual Meeting of the National Independent Equal Rights League at Philadelphia on December 13th, followed by the national observance of the semi-centennial of the Thirteenth Amendment. We urge in every community where there is no branch league that an Equal Rights Committee be formed to send delegates. Let it also arrange a local Thirteenth Amendment celebration for Sunday, December 19th. WASHINGTON ACROSTIC. The following poem on the late Booker T. Washington is a production of Little Ruth Scott of Oakland, California: When the news spread o'er the land And told of the sad demise So shocking to living man, How sad for him who died! It's a great loss to the human race, None thought the end so near; God only know's who'll take the place To fill the task of one so dear. On to Heaven he's gone to rest; No one but God knows what is best. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. (From American Israelite.) In the death of this man, not only his own race, but the Nation, has sustained a severe loss. Born a slave, with no advantages except his own native ability, he rose from obscurity to the highest eminence of American citizenship. An educator of the highest rank, an author of repute, an orator of distinction, an American who conferred honor and dignity upon the Republic. I had the privilege of knowing Dr. Washington and felt instructed and encouraged by the lucidity of his statements, the breadth and liberality of his convictions and the optimistic uplift that he gave to me when speaking of the downtrodden and persecuted Jews of other countries. He said to me one day with a great deal of feeling and without any spirit of egotism: "If it has been possible under the guidance of divine Providence for me to be of helpfulness to my own people under conditions of the most adverse character, how much more is to be expected from your people who have had at least the advantages of the philosophy and teachings of the great seers and sages of Israel." These words sank deep, and they convey a meaning far beyond the words themselves. I have known as intimate friends, many of the Negro citizens of the Republic, who developed into living factors in the curriculum of American citizenship, but none equaled Dr. Washington, for he was thoroughly sane in all subjects. His highest ambition and great desire was to be helpful in shaping not only the destiny of his own race, but by and through their elevation, the destiny of all races. It was a grand thought, and one that will live after him. In recognizing these attributes and traits of character, I am doing but scant justice in the annals of our country. My own co-religionists in some parts of the world, themselves the victims of insane and unnatural prejudice, ought in all conscience to appreciate the virtues and accomplishments and non-sectarian spirit of so eminent an American as the late Dr. Washington. His example conveys an inspiration, and his memory I am confident will be cherished in after ages by not only the men of his own race, but by men of all races, and it affords me great pleasure to know that my friends, Jacob H. Schiff of New York City and Julius Rosenwald of Chicago, appreciated the great services rendered by Dr. Washington in aiding him financially and morally in his life work of education. SIMON WOLF. Washington, D. C., Nov. 1915. Chicago, Ill.-Alderman DePriest, Norris and Murray presented resolutions to the Chicago City Council on the death of Dr Washington. Alderman DePriest moved to adopt the resolutions and the motion was carried unanimously by a rising vote. His Investment The man with the hoe had just finished planting his sweet peas.

"Ive spoiled a $5 pair of shoes and ruined a $6 pair of trousers, but if we have good luck we'll get a bouquet for which the florist would have charged about 50 cents."—Stray Stories. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES New York, Nov. 30.—A head of Booker T. Washington, mobeled at Tuskegee by Leila Usher, sculptress, has been exhibited at the Gorham Silver Co., fifth avenue and 36th St. The whole north window has been used for the display and thousands have viewed it. St. Thomas, D. W. I., Nov. 5.—There is no threatened rising among the Negroes in the Danish West Indies. The only event which may have given currency to such a rumor was the celebration recently held in the Island of Santa Cruz in honor of the first issue of a newspaper devoted to the Negro cause. The publisher of the paper is the Negro leader, Hamilton Jackson, who recently visited Coenhagen to lay before the authorities there alleged grievances against the local administration. Gunnison, Miss, Nov. 30.—Russell B. Sugarmon, a young colored man of this city, enjoys the distinction of being the only colored man in the State, and perhaps in the South, employed as bookkeeper by a white concern at a hand some salary. The W. T. Burt Cotton & Planting Company, whose business amounts to more than $100,000 annually, has retained the service of Mr. Sugarmon in this capacity for the past nine years. Mr. Sugarmon's qualities and business judgment have made many friends among both races. He has given such satisfaction to his employers that they have retained him over all other applicants. Harrisburg, Pa., Dec. 1.—A recent event that has attracted much attention was the unveiling by the city of Harrisburg of a memorial to the memory of Dr. Wun H. Jones, a Negro, who died ten years ago. Dr. Jones had served several terms on the school board and was a man of wide popularity among all races. This is the first time in Harrisburg's history that this city has so honored a Negro. The memorial is in the shape of a fountain at the entrance of the Twelfth street playgrounds, and the committee in charge of the dedication included both colored and white men. The speakers included Mayor John E. Royal and Dr. Hugh Hamilton of the Dauphin County Medical Association, and the ceremony was in charge of James E. Auter of the Executive Department to the State Cap t.1. NO 17 Philadelphia, Pa., Dec. 1.—An experiment that is being watched with much interest is the grafting of a part of the bone from an amputated leg of a Negro boy to the fractured leg of a white man, which fracture had refused to knit properly. This operation was performed at the Cooper Hospital, where Alfred Menoken, a Negro boy of eleven, wounded by a gunshot so that a leg had to be amputated, and John Hyde, a white man of fifty-six, with a fractured leg, occupied beds in the same ward. The refusal of Hyde's leg to respond to the usual treatment puzzled the surgeons and they finally decided to try the plan of grafting the bone from the Negro's amputated leg to that of the white man's factured leg. San Francisco, Cal., Nov. 29. The Grand Army of the Republic in a strong attack has put the ban on "The Clansman," called by motion picture men the masterpiece of film drama. The post also recommends that the films be suppressed. The resolutions adopted by the post were made public by Geo. H. Thomas, Post No 2, department of California and Nevada. The order charges that "the film slanderously misrepresents the Federal solidier engaged in suppressing the rebellion and maintaining the integrity of the nation. It attempts to throw the mantle of respectability around the infamous bandits called the Ku Klux Klan. Its tendency is to engender hatred against the Negro and against the Negro troops who fought gallantly for their own freedom." The Grand Army post winds up its brondside by characterizing "The Clansman" is bing "false in sentiment, false in history false in fact." Washington, Nov. 30—The new Haiti treaty, by which the United States extends a broad financial protectorate over the island republic, is in operation under a modus vavendi, which has been signed by the American minister and the Haitien secretary of foreign affairs. This temporary arrangement will continue until the United States senate has an opportunity to consider the treaty, which has been ratified by the Haitien government. The treaty goes further in giving the United States control over Haiti's government.

He declared in many of his public addresses, North and South, that the southern whites were the best friends of the Negroes—the friends who: in the end must pe de- pended upon to bring about their com plete redemption. He taught his own people that the pathway to their happiness and suc- cess lay in the cultivation of the good- will and friendship of their white neighbors, He explained to their sym pathizing friends in the North that they could do much, but there were ‘peculiar ties between the races in the ‘South that must never be disturbed, for the Negro could not prosper in the North, and that he could never be un ‘derstood and appreciated there as in ‘the South, _,, Washington's tove for the South and the southern people is characteristic of the great mass of the Negro race in ‘America. Even where he owns no and, the Negro still loves the soil as if it were his. ‘The sunshine, the trees the flowers, the animals, the birds, the streams and all the beauties of south ern nature are dear to the Negro's heart. The South is home, even when he is homeless. The old southern melodies which all southern people love so well tell in sweet sentiment and pathetic strains the Negro’s love of the South. “My Old Kentucky Home," “Carry Me Back to Old Virginia” “S'wanee Ribber.” “Darling Chloe” and “Dixie’ are ten: derly expressive of the Negro's love of the South and his yearning when absent to return to its familiar scenes, But this love of the southern land is secondary to his attachment for the southern white people. It is the south ern white people who make the South home for the Negro. The supreme ob: ligation*that he owes to the people of ‘the North has commanded for then his gratitude and respect, but it has never won his affection. ‘That is still the portion of his former masters and their descendants and it is inalienable. Its foundation lies deep in tradition, in sympathy, in understanding. in pa tience and in a common interest. So when Washington, standing at the bounds of life where his burdens were about to fall, turned from the stirring scenes about him and looked longingly toward his southern home.

The passing of Booker Taliaferro Washington evoked more comment than the death of any man in America in recent months. Almost every paper in the country paid tribute to his ability, his high character and the worth of his life work. In the South, where this work was largely centered and where prejudice against the Negro is supposed to be most acute, these tributes were of a particularly im pressive and sympathetic nature, ‘Thus, the Atlanta Constitution, in a leading editorial, pays him the fol lowing eloquent tribute: “In his life there was no malevolence; in his thought no acrimony or bitterness; in his spoken word no viciousness; his | Hampton institute recently closed a busy two-day session of its annual ‘farmers’ conference, which brought together on the lower peninsula some of the foremost leaders in education farming and home-making, as well as several hundred colored farmers.

Devoting a large portion of its edi- torial-page space on the afternoon succeeding the day of Doctor Washing ton’s death to this event, the New York Evening Post went into much detail concerning the character of the man and the quality of his labors and concluded thus: “But in this hour of a great loss to both races it is to be hoped that Doctor Washington's death will recall to the nation’s attention, as did, his life, that there are great talents to be found among the Ne- groes, as there are certain to be great Negro contributions to our literature, our science, our drama, our music, our arts, if only we can bring our- selves to strike from the limbs of Lin- coin’s freedmen the shackles of ignor- ance, oppression, prejudice and injus- tice.” Other papers in the North to pay tribute to Doctor Washington include the Philadelphia Ledger.

The decision of the Supreme Court of Colorado was handed down Monday, 6th inst., upholding the validity of the amendment to the constitution that this state be prohibited from the manufacture or sale, etc., of alcoholic beverages. The decision, written by Chief Justice Gabbert, was unanimous, and Denver's Home Rule clause or charter was subordinated to the action of the state as far as the liquor traffic is concerned. The court held that the people of the state of Colorado, by adopting the prohibition amendment last fall expressed their will so clearly that no doubt could be entertained by the court as to their intent, and therefore decided against Denver in the contention that the right to grant licenses after Jan. 1, 1916, was given it by the home rule amendment. The prohibition amendment, the court declared, withdrew all rights previously given to regulate the traffic in the city, and that in using the word "state" it meant the entire state of Colorado, of which Denver is a part. This is a complete victory for the Anti-Saloon League, who are resolved to see that the law is enforced and any infringement must come in for the penalty provided. All places therefore that have licenses for the trading in liquors must close midnight, Dec. 23, and Jan. 1, 1916, will add Denver and all Colorado to the list of Dry territory. Provisions are made for the use of the beverage for medicinal purposes, sacramental and private consumption, but there are restrictions attached to them also. Now that the litigation is ended, the people of Denver and the state as a whole should let the law take its course and should not countenance any act which tends to commit a breach. The people have been clamoring for a number of years to rid the state and specially Denver of what is termed a destructive and all devouring enemy to humanity, and now they have legally succeeded in doing so let us hope for the moral results and endeavor, as far as in our power lies, to support the authorities in seeing that the law is carried out among the high and the low, the rich and the poor. Remember the foundation of our American Republic Institution—"The Voice of the People the Law of the Land." The holiday season is approaching and the demand it makes on our attention compels the great and varied display of holiday goods at the leading stores in the city. The show windows are only a preliminary of what will gain their admiration when they enter the stores and behold the line of goods specially selected for their comfort and happiness. Every preparation is made to meet the needs of the people and supply their wants so that the necessity will not arise to import from other states. The prices being very moderate, reasonable and within the reach of all, will find a cheerful response in the innumerable purchases that will be made not only in the city but the state over. Intending purchasers will discover to their great advantage that the consulting of our advertising columns result in their delight, as we carry the largest, best and most reliable stores—business firms who deem it a pleasure to have you trade with them. The following are among the numerous stores we advertise: The May Clothing Co., Joslin Dry Goods Co., Daniels & Fisher's Stores Co., Denver Dry Goods Co., A. T. Lewis & Son Dry Goods Co., Perini Bros., Hosiery and Ladies' Fineries; New York Ribbon Store, Cottrell Clothing Co., Carson Crockery Co., Cassell Bros. Piano Store, all of which are bent on giving you your money's worth and the best that can be had. Mention the fact of seeing their "ad" in The Colorado Statesman and they will gladly present you with the rarest and choicest holiday presents for your selection. Watch our next issue for the best Christmas bargains the West has ever offered by these stores. The large assembly of colored and white citizens at Shorter A. M. E. church last Tuesday evening, protesting against the exhibition of the photoplay, "The Birth of a Nation," in Denver, beginning Sunday, Dec. 12, at the Tabor Grand, proves beyond a doubt that our city can boast of large-hearted Americans who are fearless in their expression of suppressing and eliminating from our midst anything that will interfere with the peace and harmony of its citizens and create such racial antipathy that may terminate in serious ill impressions for generations to come. The old time "passive resistance" (which means don't agitate; keep quiet, bow to the powers that be, keep the mouth hereditely sealed, as otherwise advertisement is given in a larger measure and greater form) is buried with ancient and medieval forms and ceremonies, as the glorious achievements of nations, the wonderful advancement of peoples, the rapid strides of civilization have their origin in the continuous agitation by the oppressed and the clamor of the victims of wrong which is unnecessarily and unwarrantably thrust upon them. Being the possessors of liberty—a constitutional right accorded us by the legality of our citizenship, our action in vigorously protesting to our city authorities to join the number of other cities that have not only eliminated objectionable features of this play, but refused permission for any exhibition ought to find entertainment and the utmost consideration at their hands, as we have no desire to resort to the barbarous methods engaged by some in getting rid of a wrong, but to exercise as far as in our power lies intellectually and by the privileges of the constitution of our land the right to destroy for all time the evil influence that will be wrought by such agencies. The Colorado Statesman, the leading colored journal in the West, in its usual activity of instructing our people how to deal with such actions, again records its utter disapproval of the exhibition of this play and expresses its delight in seeing the course adopted to the present by the citizens of Denver.

Housewife's Part Is to Make Small Income Go as Far as Possible, and Thought in That Direction It is the small economies that make big savings possible, and the housewife who scorns the pennies will never possess many dollars. Nowadays big salaries are not so common as we should like to have them, and the average man must struggle along as best he can on just a living wage. In these hard times it is the wife's part to make the small income go just as far as she can, and only by strict attention to the trifles as well as to big expenses, can she put by any money at all. The man whose wife has been brought up on the old adage, "Look to the pennies and the dollars will take care of themselves" may well thank his lucky stars that he captured such a prize, for such women are rare, indeed, in these days of thriftless, careless housewives. Such a woman, who lifts up to her belief that "a penny saved is a penny earned," is indeed the better half of any man. After all, the poor husband can only bring in the family earnings. He cannot make them stretch over all the household expenses, with a little to spare to bank for rainy days. That is the wife's share in the partnership, and often it is the hardest. Housewives, yours is the part to save here and pinch there, that the weekly stipend may be enough to provide for your needs. If your husband's salary seems all too little, look about you to see where you can lower expenses. Since the salary cannot be enlarged, the household expenditure must be minimized. "Waste not, wast not" is another proverb which might well be adopted as a motto by the American housewife, for it is well known that in no other country in the world is there so much waste in the household as in America. Even our thriftiest housewife, one who would be considered a model as compared with others, would be amazed could she be transported into the kitchen of a French woman. For it is in the kitchen where the greatest waste goes on, and it is there where the French housewife displays the most thrift. Our model housekeeper would be considered extravagant by the average peasant woman of France or Germany. In these countries the women utilize every bit of food that comes into the house. In the poorest homes as well as in the homes of those who have comfortable means, there is always to be found a huge pot on the back of the stove, or in the peasant's kitchen hanging on a hook in the fireplace. This is the potage pot, or soup pot, and into it go all the scraps which are left over—meat, vegetables, bones, everything. Another pot, kept near at hand, is or fats. When the soup is skimmed, the fat is thrown into the other pot. Bits of fat from meat, drippings, the fat left in roasting pans, all fat (except mutton or lamb tallow), is thrown into the fat pot, where it is melted down, made into clarified fat, and used in place of lard. No French woman would think of buying lard, in fact, she would be rather horrified at the idea, for the homemade, clarified fat is considered, and is far superior to the lard sold in the shops. The casserole dish, too, comes from this land of provident housewives. When there is the will to save, the way usually is found, and the casserole is one of the results. We American women should take a leaf from the note books of our French cousins and learn where and how to save. Roast Beef and Nut Hash. Hash in Pastry Ramekins.—Chop remains of cold roast beef fine; season to taste, add minced onion, cook slowly (adding little water or milk) until mixture thickens. Have ready baked individual pastry shapes; fill these with hash, dot with butter. Stand in oven until browned. Serve hot. Nut Hash.—Mix thoroughly one cupful chopped walnuts and peanuts mixed, one cupful bread crumbs and one cupful nicely seasoned hot mashed potatoes; add milk to moisten; brown in oven. Serve with cream of tomato sauce. Celery in Butter Sauce. Wash three bunches of celery, cut in pieces three inches long, boil in salted water until tender and drain. Beat the yolks of four eggs, add one-half cupful of the cooled water in which the celery was cooked, two ablesespoonfuls of lemon juice, one-half easpoonful of onion juice, one-half saltspoonful of salt and a dash of ayenne. Cook in a double boiler until thick and add one-half cupful of butter a small piece at a time, string constantly. Arrange the celery in a hot dish and cover with the sauce. Graham Pudding. Two and a half cupful flour (graham) one cupful sweet milk, one cupful moiasse, one cupful raisins, two level teaspoonfuls soda, pinch of salt, team two hours. I usually take two cupfuls graham and one-half cupful white flour. Serve with this hot sauce: two cupfuls milk. When hot add one-half cupful sugar sifted with one-level teaspoonful of flour and mixed with one beaten milk. Add a little salt and flavor to taste. Add more sugar to sauce if you like it sweeter.

FIRE CAPTAIN'S STATEMENT CARL ROMAN CHEMICAL CO.: Dear SIRs: Having taken your medicine with such good results, I wish to inform you what effect it had upon me. Several years ago my physicians treated me for indigestion and liver trouble, and was later told by them that an operation would be necessary. I took all kinds of medicines, with no results. Two big ago my condition was such that I was forced to allow the physicians to hold a consultation, at which the consensus of opinion was that an operation would be the only relief for me. My mind was made up to have same performed, and had decided to go to an infirmary, but a friend heard of my intentions and advised me not to go to the exper. trouble and probably the loss of my life, when cure could be effected by the use of my Remedy. I took a bottle which swept a greenish mass from my system, including a number of genuine gall stones. Team heaven, I took my friend's advice about your wonderful Stomach and Liver preparation. Symptoms in my case were clouder brain, coated tongue, sluggish on risin in the morning, had gas on my stomach and oftentimes had pains in my side and back.

An appeal to the white citizens of Denver was read and adopted by a rising vote. It showed the races in their respective characteristic feat: ures and the amicable relationship that was at present existing and prayed for their interest and sympa- thy in suprorting a cause tht would be beneficial to both sides—the sup- pression of the play. The mayor, who was present and spoke favorably, promised to do all in his power to satisfy the citizens of Denver in thelr protest to the commissioners. DOUSLASS UNDERTAKING Co. Funeral Notices.

EDWARD FOUNTAIN PASSES AWAY. jor and Highly Respected Citizen Saloved ‘hve All. | In she death of Edward Fountain of 1217 Gaylord street, popularly of 1834 Arapahoe street, his late busi- ness place, the Negro citizens of Den- iver an.t Colorado have lost a friend, |a sympathizer and a man whose phil- anthropy though well known was not given publicity, and the city bereft of one of its pioneers who did his part in the upbuilding and the develop- ment of the Citv and County of Den- ver. Born in Virginia April 30, 1853, he afterwards went to Philadelphia, where he was educated, and left there in company with the editor of tis pa- per in the year 1885, arriving,in Den- ver September 19th of the same year. On his arrival he adapted himself to western life and soon become well ac- quainted with his surroundings. Af- ter engaging in different spheres of employment Mr. Fountain resolved on launching out in business for himself and within a short time became pro- prietor of the leading barbering es- tablishment of the city, having white and colored patrons. As the years rolled by, he developed financially, and in proportion to his success he helved his fellow-men to an almost unlimited extent. He was a ready helper in the time of trouble and was popularly known as the colored bondsman. After a brief illness of four weeks undergoing an operation for chronic stomach troubles at the Mercy Hospital he succumbed Friday, December 9th, at 3 o'clock. He leaves a wife, Laura Fountain, and son Wil- liam, nigh school pupil, to mourn his irreparable loss, Funeral ceremonies will te held from Shorter A.

The Marquis and Marchioness of Aberdeen, lately viceroy and vicerine of Ireland, will be in Denver Dec. 17. The Supreme Court denied a rehearing in the Denver Juvenile Court jurisdiction case, and Lindsey loses adult trials. Oscar Cook's appeal for a rehearing was denied by the Supreme Court, and he is to be executed during the week of Feb. 2. It is stated that the state will refund $6,860 upon licenses for sale of liquor when the "dry" law becomes effective Jan. 1. A total appropriation of $5,840,063 for city, county, school and state purposes in 1916 was formally submitted to the Denver council. Recall petitions against Judge Burke and Attorney Von Brandt of the Sterling district were quashed by Secretary of State Ramer. The Bear Cañon highway will be dedicated by delegations from the Denver Motor Club, the commercial organizations and civic societies. The body of Charles Anderson, 84 years old, prospector of the early days, was found at the bottom of a 200-foot precipice three miles from Ouray. The death of Capt. William Hamilton Green, who helped lay out Pueblo and Cañon City, makes William H. Clark of Denver, Colorado's oldest pioneer resident. Under the auspices of the Federation of Agricultural Clubs of Morgan county, a series of farmers' institutes will be held on the circuit plan during the week of Jan. 10-16. According to the November report of the department of public health, Colorado Springs had an exceptionally low death rate for the month. The report gives a percentage of .94. Herbert Allen, the 18-year-old boy who shot his sister, Estelle, mistaking her for a burglar at their home in Denver, was completely exonerated by the girl of all blame in the matter. A search for Charles H. Maloney, a prospector, is being conducted throughout the West by his Denver brother, Tufford, 3106 South Sherman street, to inform the missing man that he is one of the heirs to the estate of his father, Tufford Maloney of Sioux City. On hearing that the Colorado Supreme Court had sustained the prohibition law, making the state "dry" after Dec. 31, Governor Carlson said: "I am highly pleased to know that the will of the people has been sustained by a unanimous decision of the Supreme Court." Pneumonia, induced probably by exposure while riding to Denver in the automobile of J. F. Bennett, under sheriff of Arapahoe county, and not the beating administered by George Reichert, well-to-do Fort Collins cattleman, caused the death of Miss Louise Mansfield, according to testimony before a coroner's jury in Denver. If Colorado's plum pudding and mince pie for New Year dinner are to be flavored with brandy, the brandy will have to be purchased the day before—the close of the open season on intoxicating liquors in this state. It will do no good to plan a substitution of brandied peach juice for the ordinary or garden variety of brandy, for the distilled juice of the peach in 1916 will be considered in the eyes of the "dry" law as just plain booze. The marital status of Mrs. Carolina Palmer Travis Davis, who is 72 years old, was finally fixed by Judge Perry of the District Court in Denver by the granting of a decree annuling the marriage of Mrs. Davis to Henry T. Travis, which took place at Ironton, Wis., in 1865. Mrs. Davis had thought that Travis was dead for nearly fifty years, had remarried again, been divorced, and then suddenly discovered that Travis was still living. It has cost between $1,000,000 and $1,500,000 to operate the receivership of the Denver Reservoir Irrigation Company and its allied concerns since their failure on June 6, 1910, according to figures in the reports of the disago Title and Trust Company, the trustee under which the receivership is now being conducted. Mrs. Susan Bradley, maid in the home of William H. Dickens, who disappeared the morning after the banker was shot, was found at the home of her sister, Mrs. Folsom, east of Longmont. MANITOU BANK ROBBED BANDIT LOCKED CASHIER IN VAULT AND FLEES. Cashier Campbell, Only Guardian of Institution During Lunch Hour, Helpless to Prevent Looting. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Manitou, Colo.—An unmasked robber entered the Bank of Manitou here at 12:30 o'clock Tuesday, marched J. Frank Campbell, cashier, at the point of a revolver to the vault, compelled him to place approximately $2,000 in a gunny sack, then made him a prisoner in the steel compartment. Owing to the declaration of the cashier that all the money in the vault had been placed in the sack, and that a heavy shipment to Denver was responsible for the small amount there, several thousand dollars more was left behind by the bandit. The cashier was a prisoner in the vault ten or fifteen minutes, escaping through having previously arranged for just such a predicament. With tools he had placed in the safe several months ago, he took off the inner time lock with which the vault is equipped, and was thus enabled to swing open the heavy steel doors. When he emerged the bandit had disappeared without anyone on the streets having noticed him. The police and sheriff's office took up the search immediately. The man is described by Mr. Campbell as being about 26 or 27 years old, about six feet tall and dark complexioned. He wore a black coat and a black hat, its crown running to a peak. "I do not remember having seen the man before," Mr. Campbell said. "But my daughter says she is certain she has seen a man answering the description loitering about the bank three or four days. He evidently knew the time the rest of the bank force went to luncheon and planned the robbery for that time." CHARGED WITH FATHER'S DEATH $500,000 Dickens Estate Given Widow In Will Drawn Three Years Ago Boulder.—The fight for the exoneration of Renzie C. Dickens of the charge of slaying his father, W. H. Dickens, at Longmont, began here when the attorneys for the state filed the will of the dead banker, made Jan. 24, 1913, by which all his property is bequeathed to his wife. William A. Dickens and John Dickens, brothers of the accused, and Walter C. Coulehan, his brother-in-law, accompanied the attorneys into the County Court and were present when the document was filed. All were most emphatic in the assertions of the innocence of the accused brother and all seemed most optimistic of the outcome. After filing the will they visited Sheriff Buster and pleaded with him not to cease the search for some other slayer. While the authorities are concentrating their efforts to convict Renzie Dickens, they told him, the real slayer is gaining valuable time. The estate, according to Walter C. Coulehan, is worth from $300,000 to $500,000. Informations were filed in the District Court here by District Attorney W. R. Fleming formally charging Renzie Dickens with the murder of his father, W. H. Dickens at Longmont, Nov. 30. Mr. Fleming stated that he would not ask for the immediate arraignment of Dickens, and would give reasonable time for the attorneys for the defense to prepare for calling the prisoner into court. Rancher Out $25 Sent Flancée. Fort Morgan — Henry Bolton, a young farmer living north of Fort Morgan, has the promise of a young woman to be his wife. On the strength of this promise he sent her $25 to come on from Kansas City. After waiting at the depot for several days for the young woman, who gave her name as Frances Barker, to arrive, he has said farewell to his $25 and gong back to the ranch to earn more money Foundation Laid at Armory Site. Boulder—More than 800 prominent Masons of Colorado, members of the National Guard, members of the state government and three former governors of the state were present at the laying of the cornerstone of the new armory which is being built near the campus of the University of Colorado for Troop D. Breckenridge.—The Dunkin lease on Nigger hill near Breckenridge again showed up one of its bonanza free gold pockets when two ore sacks full of free gold, about 80 per cent pure, were taken out in a few hours. Woman's Suit Brings Wife $200,000. Denver—Edward L. Cooper, wealthy Denver and Los Angeles hotel man, who was sued by Miss Anna B. Stahl of Los Angeles for $75,000 for the alleged breach of a marriage contract, which was to be fulfilled after the death of Cooper's wife, caused to be filed in the clerk and recorder's office of Denver a deed of gift in which he conveyed to his wife, Mrs. Ida L. Cooper of Los Angeles, substantially all the property which he possesses in Denver, estimated to be worth about $200,000. FIRM NOTE SENT AUSTRIA INSISTS ON IMMEDIATE PLEDGE OF SAFETY FOR AMERICANS. ALLIES TO TALK PEACE BALKAN KING ASKS ENTENTE FOR PERMISSION TO WITH-DRAW FROM WAR. Washington, Dec. 9.—The United States has sent to Austria-Hungary a note asking for a disavowal of the submarine attack upon the Italian liner Ancona, assurances that such an act will not be repeated, some degree of punishment for the commander of the submarine and reparation for the American lives lost. The communication started by cable from the State Department to Ambassador Frederick C. Penfield at Vienna, who was instructed to hand it to the Austro-Hungarian minister of foreign affairs, Baron Burian. Word of the delivery of the note had not been received by the department last night. Friendly but firm terms, it is said, characterize the document, which is understood to make a particular point of prompt assurances for the future safety of American lives. Austria-Hungary/has never informed the United States whether the commanders of its submarines had been given instructions similar to those which the German government gave to its commanders after the Lusitania tragedy. It is understood that the note referred particularly to the charge that shells from the submarine killed or wounded some passengers on the Ancona after she had halted, and asked for an explanation on that point. London. — British reinforcements ordered to Mesopotamia before the advance to Ctesiphon, near Bagdad, are already arriving at the front, J. Austin Chamberlain, secretary for India, informed inquiring members of the House of Commons. It was stated that 30,000 Serbian refugees are now at Saloniki. London.—"If proposals of a serious character for a general peace are put forward by the enemy governments either directly or through a neutral power they will first be discussed by the allied governments. Until this contingency arises, I cannot give any further pledge." The foregoing was Premier Asquith's reply, made in the House of Commons, to the request of Philip Snowden, Socialist member for Blackburn, for a pledge that no proposals for negotiations based on the evacuation of conquered territory shall be rejected by the British government without the knowledge of Parliament. Premier Asquith added: "As soon as proposals for peace are put forward it will be the desire of the government to take parliament into its confidence at the earliest possible moment." King Nicholas, according to the dispatches, personally handed to the entente ambassadors a document suggesting the possibility of a separate peace for Montenegro, which was represented as unable to withstand the superior forces of the enemy. The ambassadors replied that in such a case they would break off diplomatic relations, and cease giving the assistance that hitherto had been accorded Montenegro. Chicago.—Plans for obtaining federal and state aid for a system of good roads throughout the nation were discussed at the convention of the American Association of State Highway Officials. A draft of a bill to be presented to Congress was reviewed. The bill proposes the establishment of a fund of $50,000,000 for road building, half of the amount to be assumed by the nation and half by the states. Woman and Girl Burned to Death. Artesia.—Mrs. W. H. Stevens and her daughter, a 16-year-old girl, died as a result of burns suffered when dis tillate, with which they were filling a lamp, exploded. The resulting fire stripped them of clothing and fired their home, sixteen miles from here so that they were compelled to wait in the rain until aid could be procured from a neighbor's home, two and a half miles away. Roosevelt Attacks Wilson Message. New York.—Former President Theodore Roosevelt made a bitter attack on President Wilson's message to Congress. After Republican Convention. San Francisco, Cal.—Honolulu will make an effort to get the national Republican convention, and to that end the island residents have pledged $100,000, and in addition are prepared to charter two special steamships to carry the delegates, according to Lorrin Andrews, Republican national committeeman from the territory of Hawaii, who is en route to Washington. Andrews said he would urge the selection of the island city at the meeting of the national committee.

This is the great pioneer dry goods store of the West. Its brilliant history is the history of Denver and the state of Colorado. To speak of Denver without mentioning this grand mercantile emporium would be to produce the play of Hamlet and leave out the melancholy Dane. It would be like a description of France with Paris left out. To tell of its origin, early struggles, its rapid growth and triumphant success, would read like a page from the Arabian Nights' Entertainment. This is not our purpose. We merely wish so early in the season to note where the best things may be obtained at the most reasonable prices and with the most courteous service. The interior of this store is in itself a dream. It is a magnificent creation of art, unsurpassed by any similar establishment in this entire country. The whole is under the able management and direction of Mr. Charles MacA. Wilcox, through whose keen and alert judgment and indomitable energy during many years, it has reached its present unrivaled prosperity. Mr. Wilcox is distinguished for his polished urbanity, tact and uniform courtesy to all his patrons. This store employs over 700 persons, and among them a large number of colored people. It led the way in this employment of our people, and others have since followed this good example which we highly-appreciate. STARK & CO JEWELERS 709 and 711 SIXTEENTH STREET R. L.

And it suddenly occurs to us how nice it would be to gladden the heart of some friend by some token of love or fond remembrance. A beautiful sentiment is this emotion. And it might manifest itself in a trifling souvenir, or in a more substantial and costly form, as our means or inclination may suggest. But the question naturally arising in the purchaser's mind is—Where can I get just what is most suitable to meet exigencies of my case? The price and the value—these are the considerations the buyer of limited means must ever wrestle with. The readers of the Colorado Statesman largely belong to this class.
