Colorado Statesman

THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY GO TO THE POLLS TUESDAY AND VOTE DENVER COLORADO SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1916 VOL. XX111. SAMUEL D. NICHOLSON, Candidate for Governor Republican Primaries, Sept., 12. M. The opportunity will be afforded the public next Tuesday for selecting a man as nominee for the position of Chief Executive of the state in the ranks of the Republican party, and according to present indications, Hon. Samuel D. Nicholson will be the recipient of the people's confidence when he will be chosen by a large plurality to be the competitor in the final election for Governor of Colorado. A strong man, whose resolution Ich dien (I serve) makes him so familiar with the needs of the people and the necessity for good government so as to aid the nation in national and international crises, is wanted at this particular time, and the voice of the people in the shout for NICHOLSON is a decisive proof of their willingness to place the destinies of Colorado in his hands for the next two years. The electors of Colorado are determined to have as their leader a man whose word is his bond, and in their selection of Hon. Samuel D. Nicholson, the prestige of the Republican party will be enhanced and the confidence shaken by impractical and visionary methods in running a government restored for the benefit of all and to the exclusion of none. The result of Tuesday's Primary cannot be but greatly favorable to this man of the people and for the people. VOTE FOR LOUIS WAGNER. (Secretary City and County Republican Central Committee.) FOR STATE SENATOR. AT THE REPUBLICAN PRI- MARY SEPT. 12TH. Mr. Wagner is a graduate of the Missouri State University—served two terms as city attorney of Jefferson City, Mo., and one term as prosecuting attorney of Cole county, Mo., and was assistant city attorney of Denver under I. N. Stevens. Mr. Wagner was an ardent supporter of measures for the upbuilding of Lincoln Institute at Jefferson City, being the State Normal school for colored people; and during his residence in Missouri was a good friend of Inman E. Page, president of Lincoln Institute. Though a Republican, he always was elected in Democratic Missouri when a candidate. He stands for progressive legislation without being swept off his feet by the passing popular gust. Like most men he has a fad; law and order. The law should be enforced so long as it is the law. Politics must be made clean and kept so. The election laws must be revised and amended so as to give us a sensible election system. POLLS LARGEST VOTE IN STATE PRIMARIES. Cleveland, Ohio, Aug. 28.—Complete returns of the state primaries election show that Harry E. Davis, candidate for the State Legislature, polled the largest number of votes, among the sixty-three candidates. Sixty-two of the candidates were white. GEORGIA WHITE WOMAN KILLS WHITE SEDUCING DOCTOR. Macon, Ga., Aug. 25, 1916—Capt. Edgar J. Spratling of Company F. Fifth Georgia Infantry, one of the best known physicians of Atlanta, was shot and killed at the mobilization camp here yesterday by Mrs. H. C. Adams, wife of an Atlanta laundryman. The woman gave herself up immediately to the military authorities. When she had regained her composure she told who she was and said her husband and three children lived in Atlanta. Mrs. Adams will soon give birth to another child. According to Light Samuel A. Ky sor, the woman shouted as she shot: "You have ruined my home!" It was not until late last night that Mrs. Adams told what had led to her deed. She said: "He was my family physician and took advantage of me. If he had lived he would never have defended himself, for he had no defense. The only mistake I made was that I did not tell my husband sooner of my condition, but nobody ever knows what to do when they are in the trouble that I have been in for several months." RACE CONGRESS MOVEMENT. Meeting Should Bring Good Results Says R. W. Thompson Says R. W. Thompson, R. W. Thompson, the well-known newspaper correspondent at Washington, believes the call for a national race congress to be a move in the right direction. In the Indianapolis Freeman of August 12 Mr. Thompson says: "The conference of Negroes, called by Revn Byron Gunner, to consider the condition of the race in this country, seems to be a good thing. A calm, frank and unselfish discussion of the Negro's outlook in this country ought to go far toward bringing about a mutual understanding between the races in all sections of our land. "To be truly effective such a conference must be nonpartisan, nonsectarian and devoid of factionalism. Differ as we may individually on a multitude of mooted questions, we are one when it comes to the fundamentals of Negro citizenship and social justice." NO 4 ALABAMA NEGROES WORKING IN CHICAGO. JUDGE CHARLES CAVENDER Chicago, Ill.-Seventy-five Negroes were brought to Chicago by Morris & Company and given employment in their stock yards. The men had been employed in the packing houses in Alabama. Candidate for Judge of Supreme Court, Republican Party Primaries, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1916. The men are more than making good and some of them intend bringing their families to Chicago for permanent residence. M. Memphis, Tenn., Aug. 21.—The Lincoln Republican League of Tennessee, of which R. R. Church, Jr., is president, put out an entire ticket composed of colored men of the Tenth Congressional district. Wayman Wilkerson, undertaker and banker, was nominated for Congress; B. M. Roddy, cashier Solvent Savings Bank and Trust Co., and H. M. Bomar, a prominent lawyer were nominated for the two members of the Senate, while B. V. Burchett of Covington was given the place of florial senator from Shelby and Tipton counties. The following named men will make the race for the Legislature; T. H. Hayes, undertaker and banker; J. B. Willis, real estate broker; A. E. Clouston, planter; N. F. Clowers, merchant; J. T. Settle, attorney at law; O. W. Williams, merchant; Ed Lewis, contractor; G. W. Atkins, state agent Standard Life Insurance Company. The nominating committee who brought in the above names consisted of F. M. Nesbit, Dr. U. S. Walton, Price Galbreath, G. W. Cooper, Rev. H. L. Starks. R. R. Church, Jr., the father of the ticket, was made campaign manager. Pennsylvania Railroad Officials Seek Men in the South for Unskilled Work. Philadelphia, Pa.—More than 5,000 Negroes from Georgia and other southern states have been brought to this city within the past few weeks by the Pennsylvania railroad officials in an effort to solve the labor problem. Two thousand men arrived last week and are being subjected to the physical examination required by the rules of the road. Most of them will be put to work on the Pennsylvania grain elevator at Girard point. Judge Charles Cavender, who is a product of the Quaker city, Philadelphia, but whom Colorado claims as one of her best representative citizens, came to Colorado Springs when quite a young man, in 1872. Six years afterwards he located in Leadville, where he still resides, and his popularity in Denver and the Western Slope, gained thru his association and connection with the wonderful development of the state of Colorado for over forty years, is the actuation for his coming before the public, being nominated and endorsed by the Colorado Bar Association for Justice of the Supreme Court. In his present capacity as District Judge of the Fifth Judicial District, comprising the counties of Lake, Eagle and Summit, he has earned a reputation as a jurist whose erudition has impressed not only the legal fraternity but the public in general, who have had the opportunity of hearing his discussions, during his ten years on the bench. Agents of the railroad have been at work in various southern cities more than a month and all have had trouble with the authorities, most of which is cleared up, according to officials of the road here. These agents have been hiring Negroes ranging in age from 16 to 60 years for unskilled work, offering from $1.50 to $2 a day. The railroad has discovered that it will not end labor shortage merely to import enough men for the immediate need. In the first batch brought from the South about a month ago, 200 or 300 men secured through southern employment agencies, quit their jobs within a few weeks. These men were employed on improvement and construction work within a radius of ten miles of Philadelphia, and according to the railroad officials, left to accept jobs with contractors or around munitions plants. It is hoped that the others now being brought in will realize the great opportunity being given them and that they will "stay on the job" instead of quitting as soon as they get a little money ahead. Judge Cavender, from his legal training and experience, is fully alive to the responsibility attached to the position he now seeks, and being qualified to shoulder the same, will surely maintain the dignity and honor of the office as well as continue the righteous judgments that he has always given, safeguarding the best interests of the people and enforcing the laws of the state without fear or favor. The support that will be given him on next Tuesday by the people of Denver and throughout the State of Colorado will be a positive indication of their appreciation of his services in the past and their confidence in his ability to be a member of the highest court of the state, which fact will be established by securing him the nomination in the primary and returning him in the November election. Candidate for Judge of Supreme Court, Republican Primaries, September 12, 1916. This popular Coloradoan, whose popularity is not only in legal and court circles, but in everything that tends towards the general progress of the state and the uplift of the people, comes before the public once more for a further indorsement of the confidence placed in him for over two decades, and requests your thorough support at the Republican primaries. For the benefit of our electors who are not fully acquainted with the career of Chief Justice Gabbert we herewith give a brief sketch: Born on a farm in Blue Grass, Iowa, he was educated in the district school and two years at high school in Davenport. After studying law he became a resident of Colorado in 1879, locating at Telluride in 1882, where he practiced law until 1893, and becoming judge of the Seventh district court from 1893 to 1898. He was elected judge of the supreme court in 1897 and established such a record as to insure his re-election in 1906. During his service on the supreme court bench he has written many opinions involving important questions in irrigation and mining law which [Picture of a man in a suit with a tie and a white shirt. He has a bald head and a mustache.] have been generally accepted by the bar and people, and has materially helped to straighten many entangled propositions of the state. At the recent Republican assembly he received 670 votes out of a possible 770, every county in the state that was represented casting votes for him except one. In his present position of chief justice of the state he enjoys the respect of his associates as a man of unimpeachable characteristic features and a brilliant experienced jurist; and the commendation of a public for a number of years as one of the foremost and fearless dispensers of the law, backed up by his record, ought to merit the staunch support of every citizen, white and colored, assuring his election at the primaries and his return by a large majority at the final election.

BOX $12, GREENSBORO, N.C. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS In the midst of a sentiment he unwittingly created among the race he endeavored to the very last to elevate, Booker T. Washington is no more; and his work of stupendous proportion follows him. Perhaps we shall not see his like again in this generation. There will rise up many who will try to imitate his manner a leadership through sycophancy, but there will be few who will do so with the sincerity of purpose which prompted his every action for the betterment of his people and the whole country. Dr. Washington was born in a section of this country, and lived and labored in it, in an age and time that required a subtlety that only those who are brought up in it with the white man can use to enable them to succeed in an undertaking necessitating their constant presence among southern people. This subtlety Dr. Washington possessed in a remarkable degree. He knew how to tickle the white man of the south to cause him to laugh, and when he laughed to get what he needed from him, and through him others who gave, not as a Christian duty to the institution he founded, but because Washington had injected his personality into their favor, and because they knew that there were few other schools where the Negro could get the instruction that is given for his uplift at Tuskegee. As a monument to his faith in the capacity and ability of his race to do what other men of other races have accomplished, and his indefatigable industry to bring about results, Tuskegee will multiply her army of educated men and ring out to future generations the name of the man self-named, and who brought it into existence. The management of this institution has been without reproach, but its founder has not always been credited with advocating the best interest of the race in regard to the higher education of the youth. Be that as it may, for himself he has left behind an enduring monument of his work on the minds of men, and we suggest a monument of enduring marble be erected in the sight of those whom he has helped by starting a subscription by all the people of the country, and have it placed in the capital of the nation.—Exchange The Rt. Rev. Samuel D. Ferguson, first man of his race to be mute a bishop by the Protestant Episcopal church, who died the other day at Monrovia, Liberia, though a Negro, and born in South Carolina, was never a slave. His parents were free persons of color. He was six years old when they accepted the inviting offer of the National Colonization society and went to Liberia. He was educated in the mission school of the Episcopalians at Cape Palmas. He watched our Civil war for the freeing of the slaves only at a distance. He worked with all the civilizing forces in a land where about 15,000 Afro-Americans dominate a real African population of 2,000,000; worked with the Methodist bishop, William Taylor, who first developed industrial education there; worked with J. J. Roberts, long president, a man nearly white, but devoted to popular advancement; worked with Arthur Barclay, born a British subject in the Barbadoes, a pure-blooded black, who succeeded Roberts; worked with the present president, Daniel Howard. He saw the establishment of Presbyterian and Baptist and Method As the first step in the formation of a co-operative alliance of colored industry and commerce by a group of colored men active in advancing the interests of their people, Charles M. Thomas of Miner Normal school, also president of the colored association of teachers at Washington, has announced an early organization of reputable and reliable colored chauffeurs and automobile mechanics. The purpose of this movement is to raise the standard of efficiency and to set standards of conduct for the men in this industry. Mr. Thomas sees, in the present industrial condition in the United States, an opportunity for colored men to play an active part in the real preparedness for American contest with rehabilitated European nations after the war, whether in conflict or in competition. Plans for the larger alliance to include colored men and women engaged in trades and occupations generally throughout the United States are being perfected under the chairmanship of Charles E. Lane, Sr., of North Carolina. Apple wood is the favorite material for saw handles, and some goes into so-called brier pipes. The minister of foreign relations of Colombia has ordered the publication in book form of economic and political information on Colombia, much of which has appeared in successive bulletins by the ministry in his charge since 1912. The title of the book will be "Colombia—1913 to 1916." Eleven grains of radium were produced in the United States last year. dist missions, the building of the Methodist college at Monrovia. With Liberla he was always identified. Bishop Ferguson's death recalls, of course, the great Colonization society that made Liberia open to free Negroes. Of this class the South, especially the cities of the South, wished to be freed. Henry Clay, Charles Carroll, James Madison were as anxious for the plan's success as William Ellery Channing or Gerrit Smith. But perhaps on young Ferguson's life the influence of Bishop John Henry Hopkins of Vermont had most effect. Bishop Hopkins of the Episcopal church had been a most earnest worker for the Colonization society. And, relatively small as were the results of that movement, the characters developed in Liberia were well worth studying. What the Negro could do even after the blighting effect of slavery on individuals and the race, Booker T. Washington showed. What the Negro could do never having been a slave has been shown in a dozen of the strong men of Liberia. Of these strong men Bishop Ferguson was one of the most impressive. His consecration in Grace church, New York city, in 1885, was a landmark in the history of Episcopalianism in America. We take the following from a communication to the New York Evening Post: The songs of sorrow, of joy, of humor, and of sentiment were the natural growth of a race musically inclined in Africa, and whose melodious outpourings were intensified by the conditions of slavery. 1850-1865—Minstrel songs full of character, but less lofty of sentiment, and less true of real Negro aspiration and inspiration. (See songs of Jim Bland and others.) 1870—Advent of jubilee singers—an artistic triumph. 1875-1888—No further development in Negro music. The Afro-American had been so thoroughly taught by the white man that his color, condition, and accomplishment were inferior, that the younger generation at once threw aside all tradition. Any reference to the past became a disgrace. Except in a few schools of the South, to sing jubilee melodies to an Afro-American audience would be an insult, and would lead to the dismissal of the teacher urging them. The Moody and Sankey hymns were used exclusively in our churches and schools. About 1888—The starting and quick growth of so-called "rag-time." As far back as 1875. Negroes in the questionable resorts along the Mississippi had commenced to evolve this musical figure; but at the World's Fair, Chicago, "Rag-time" got a running start, swept the Americans, then Europe, and today the craze has not diminished. The public was tired of sing-song monotonous, mother, sister, father sentimental songs. Rag-time offered unique rhythms, curious groupings of words, and melodies which gave the zest of unexpectedness. Many Negroes—Irving Jones, Will Accoone, Bob Cole, the Johnson brothers, Gussie L. Davis, Sid Perrin, Ernest Hogan, Williams and Walker, and others wrote some of the most celebrated rag songs of the day. In other instances white actors and song-writers would hear in St. Louis such melodies as "New Bully," "Hot Time," etc., would change the words (often unprintable) and publish them as their own creations. When the flags of the Ohio regiments which had been in the Civil war were taken from storage and placed in the rotunda of the statehouse in Columbus, Gov. Frank B. Willis carried the flag of the Forty-eighth Ohio Volunteer infantry, in which his father had served through the war, and Mrs. Willis carried the flag of the Twentieth O. V. I., which was her father's regiment. A valuable relic was recently found in Riggsville, Me., in the shape of a large brass eagle, originally made for a figurehead on a ship. It weighs 97 pounds, stands 29 inches high, and measures 18 inches from tip to tip. It is known to be more than one hundred years old. The age is verified by the fact that the casting was made in two pieces and then brazed together. A Baptist pastor in New York has a novel way of attracting an audience. He conducts his evening services at 7:15 in front of the church. Besides the novelty the people find it cooler and decidedly more comfortable than inside the church. The perfume industry of Italy annually makes use of 1,860 tons of orange blossoms and 1,000 tons of roses. Fatigued, a Pittsfield (Mass.) man returned home, and, undressing, knelt beside his bed to say his prayers. He was in that attitude when his mother came to call him in the morning. He was not half-way through the Lord's prayer when he fell asleep. A Brazilian city uses a trolley-car ambulance to transport patients to and from hospitals in its suburbs.

DIVORCE FROM SINGER SOUGHT BY WEALTHY AND AGED COLORADO RANCHER. Boyington Skelton Tires After Ten Years of Waiting Return of Young Opera Star. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver — Boyington Skelton, wealthy and aged rancher, has filed suit for divorce from Mrs. Marguerite Starelle Skelton, the young opera singer, who has been absent from her husband ten years. Mrs. Skelton now is in Paris, France. Service will be made through the American minister in Paris. Mrs. Skelton came to Denver from Sweden and took work in the home of Mr. Skelton as housemaid. He was wealthy and she was poor. He heard her singing about the house and realized that she had a wonderful voice. He made her his wife, and sent her abroad to have her voice trained. She succeeded from the start. She wished to rival Melba and other great singers, and has, in a measure, done so. After her musical education had been finished under De Reszke, in Paris, Mrs. Skelton sang in the National theater of that city, and later with the Metropolitan Grand Opera Company in New York. But while his wife was spending her husband's money in completing her education, he was having trouble at home. He engaged in litigation over his ranch near Littleton, which had been left him by his mother, who was said to be the first white woman to settle on the upper Platte. His wife came to his aid and furnished money from her salary to aid him. He finally won his suit. Mrs. Skelton then returned to the stage and sang in all of the large American and European cities. That was ten years ago. He waited for her to return, but the lure of her career kept her away. Desertion of more than one year is the only charge made in the complaint. They married Aug. 14, 1897.

Girl Predicted Patrol Wreck. Pueblo.—The wreck of the police auto patrol at the corner of Grant and Broadway was predicted three days before by a young woman in California. Chauffeur George Windsor, who was at the wheel and who, by his quick wit, probably saved himself and nine passengers from death, has documentary evidence of the prophecy in the shape of a postcard written to his wife by her sister, Mrs. Kate Punaluna. Mrs. Punaluna is the daughter of William Davenport and a native of this city. She went to Sacramento, Cal., three years ago after having been married one year. It was from there that she sent the prediction of the wreck and which was not received here until four hours after the near-tragedy. Pueblo.—According to a report received here secret service agents are investigating the alleged theft of valuable registered mail reported to have occurred at La Junta. Bootlegger Sentenced. Pueblo—Ed Watts pleaded guilty to bootlegging in Justice Leddy's court and was sentenced to serve six months in the county jail. Big Frontier Days Fair.

Ask such a question when 50,000 boys and girls registered their names for the school session of 1916-1917 to add moré knowledge to their little storehouse, and to encourage parents and guardians to continue their parental and fostering eare until they arrive at the goal of graduation? What better inspira- tion could have been given us than to see from the kindergarten youngsters, to the juveniles of the graded schools, to the farther ad- vanced high school celebrities, in their clean and beautiful appear- ing school suits and dresses, wending their way to the school grounds where with gamboling and frolicking they list to the sound of the gong, eager to turn over the pages of their text books, so as to pre- pare themselves for the responsibility of the future steering of the “Ship of Edueation.’’ We wish every pupil all the suecess that ean attend them this term, and those who were unsuccessful must try again with renewed energy and vigor to obtain. that highest prize which is theirs. OUR DUTY AS REPUBLICANS. There are newspapers as well as other agents that sometimes forget the age we are living in, and who in their unsuccessful efforts to force down the throats of the public an emetic which they refuse to swallow (having the knowledge of its nauseating effect), de- nounce them as cowards, imbeciles, ete. We have some of these newspapers and characters in Denver who as they say ‘are not afraid to speak out.’’ They go further. Because a- number of Ne- groes support the candidacy of someone who is not of their choice for the nomination of governor of the state at the primary election, they are termed ‘‘coward Negroes.”’ “Vote for this candidate or nothing,’’ says a Negro newspaper of our city. ‘‘Our choice is for this candidate first, last and all the time, and we will have NO OTHER Republican choice,’’ is the em- phatic assertion of a journal that styles itself the only Negro Re- publican organ in the state. The deduction we draw amounts to the following: ‘Readers, subscribers, people of Colorado, follow our leadership, heed our instruction, aceept our adyice, which means the keeping of your Republican faith and party loyalty.’” “*WHERE IGNORANCE IS BLISS.”* The familiar expression, ‘‘Where ignorance is bliss, it is folly to be wise,’’ is very applicable and appropriate at this stage, Are’ our Negro electors allowing themselves to be seriously impressed with this kind of leadership, instruction or advice? Can we be credited with the possession of enough common sense to thwart and ignore such dogmatie teachings of a newspaper or an individual? Will we consciously choose the begutiful land of blissful ignorance, where wisdom is conspicuous by its absence, or will we be living evidences of the progressive and in- telligent advancement made thru and by the help of the Republican party? PARTY FEALTY DEMANDS OUR ATTENTION. But two years ago one of the greatest impressions ever made on us on LOYALTY TO A POLITICAL PARTY was at the Democratic meetings addressed by Hon. Wim, Jennings Bryan, ex-seeretary of state, and Vice President Marshall of the present administration, when in the Denver Auditorium they implored and pleaded and actually begged the followers of the Democratic party to return Senator Thom- as of Colorado to Washington, if they believed in party loyalty and the strengthening of the Democratic ties in the government; and this was in spite of the offensive action of Demoerat representatives over the non-proteetion of Colorado products when the tariff question on free sugar and wool came up in the senate. Altho a serious breach threatened the Democratic party among Shafroth and Thomas con- stituents, yet one could not desire any greater evidence of confidence and loyalty to a party, than when the Demoerats of the state listened and abided by the instructions of those stirring addresses which were made by two of the highest officials of the government, and returned the senator, What do you think of this? Is it worthy of emulation. REPUBLICAN PARTY FIRST CONSIDERATION, The Colorado Statesman in vouching for the majority of Negroes in Colorado is preud to know and pleased to in- form the public thruout this ”state, that but a very small per- centage (something in the decimals) of our people fill the order of idiots, insane characters, ete. and that this majority will not be guided by the, garrulous twaddles of decrepit newspaper politicians is a certainty, as their first and last consideration is the Republican party; and their ealibre is of such large dimensions that they will cling tenaciously to the party that is always accomplishing something for the benefit of all the races that ‘are being shaped into one thought and action in THE GREAT MELTING POT— AMERICA. VENEERED REPUBLICANS VALUELESS TO PARTY. Tuesday, September 12th, the day of the primary election, will set the stamp of disapproval on VENEERED REPUBLICANS who are too small to stand defeat, arid in our opinion would be smaller in principle if nominated and elected to official positions in our state. Therefore, let every colored elector go to the polls, vote conscien- ciously, at the same time showing our broadness of mind, largeness of intellect and our ability to measure up to the real manly policy of sacrificing the smallest for the largest, the least for the greatest; in fact laying aside selfish interests for the betterment of a whole, hence refusing to join the ranks of those in our party who boldly and with much emphasis in their assertion: ‘‘Give us the candidate of our choice or nothing,’ arg in truth and in fact valueless to the Repub- lican party. ‘Again we ask, are they Republicans at heart or are they winning the toss on either side of the coin? Colorado Statesman, and all its associates, in wishing success to every aspirant,for political honor, ‘once more declare themselves faithful followers in the doctrine of the Republiean party whether our choice succeeds or not.

A prominent lawyer for over twenty years in Denyer, Mr. Gillespie is always identified with those things which are materially helpful to the advancement of the citi- zens, and particularly in matters relating to their educational wel- fare. After his election as a member of the Board of Education, in 1910, Mr. Gillespie instituted certain reforms which improved the school system, placing it on a business basis which was highly eom- ‘mended by the public. He is responsible for the first school of trades for boys and girls this side of the Mississippi under the public school system, and was one of the organizers of the Denver play ground system. Denyer ewes much to Mr. Gillespie in his capacity as president of the board of education, as he proved himself worthy of the position by the all-round improvement in both teachers and pupils. A man whose every action is justice for all, and who in his professional sphere is qualified to bring the District Attorney’s office to a degree of efficiency creditable to Denver, Mr. Gillespie comes before the electors on Tuesday next requesting their support for the nomination of Distriet Attorney, with the’assurance that the same principles which eater to his suecess as a lawyer will guide him to a successful career if nominated to achieve the goal of his ambition—THE LESSENING OF CRIME in the community of which he is a member, and in keeping with his oath of office to be a PUBLIC PROSECUTOR and not a PERSECUTOR. Son of a Civil war, veteran, Mr. Gillespie pertains to the diseip- line which characterizes the military mind, and being a broad- minded and stout-hearted American, he promises the fairness which he always’ engages in the conduct of legal matters. His position on the prohibition question is well known, as he is a thorough believer and a staunch supporter in the constitution of Colorado, and will do all in his power to see there is no infringement or abatement of | the laws pertaining to the dry situation, His denouncement of the “beer amendment’’ has already won him a large number, of voters, and for these and other reasons afore stated he should have the suppore necessary to insure his nomination. The prestige established by Mr. Gillespie, coupled with his years of residence and association with every class of citizens both in his legal and educational capacities, should find a ready response in an affirmative vote for him on Tuesday, and victory in the finals November.

SHORTER CHAPEL'S NOTES (Rev. Robert L. Pope, B. D., Pastor.) Our pastor will fill the pulpit tomorrow morning using as his subject, "Binding the Strong Man, or Segregation at its Worst." In the evening an echo meeting from the Grand Lodges will be held when Past Grand Master Rector, Mesdames Obryant, Hamilton and others will speak and music will be furnished by the League choir. Mrs. J. A. Waldon, director. Dr. H. Franklin Bray, who has just returned from an extended trip east, spoke for us last Sunday evening. Our Sunday school under the leadership of Brother King and Sisters Brown and Wade, not only made a fine showing in the city-wide auto parade last Saturday, but two of the pupils were awarded prizes from the foot races, Fred Polk and Andrew Tilden. After all, the Negro is just like other folks, when given a square deal some Negro will give a good account of himself. The Labor Day dinner and play in the evening were successes, for which Mesdames Early, Byrd, King, Obryant and their committees were largely responsible. Our pastor had word of the safe arrival in Pensacola, Fla., of Mrs. Pope and her mother. However, Mrs. Crane continues critically ill. Tomorrow will be Dollar Money day at Shorter and every member and friend is expected to register. If you would be loyal, then pay one dollar for yourself; but if you would be royal, then pay another dollar for someone who is unable to pay. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. Secretary Thomas J. Bell has just returned from New York where he went three weeks ago to spend his vacation with his family. He reports having had a very pleasant time. During his absence the Rev. G. Sterling Sawyer, pastor of Scott M. E. church, had charge of the work. A large number of boys "hiked" to Golden and back—a distance of nearly thirty-five miles—one day last week. They were very orderly and behaved splendidly, although apple trees towering over the roadside and isolated tomato fields were none the better off on the return trip. Similar hikes will be made from time to time during the Fall. A goodly number of men attended the men's meeting last Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock to listen to the address of the Rev. E. N. Evans, pastor of the M. E. Church South, who spoke on the subject, "A Universal Need and a Universal Remedy." Mr. Evans' address was very scholarly and eloquent. He showed that the human craving for something to satisfy the soul-hunger of man was well nigh universal; gave illustrations showing that neither wealth nor knowledge nor political power was able to do it, and that it was only found in a belief based on the life and promises of Christ. The Boys' Band, under the leadership of their manager, Mr. James L. Boykin, gave an outing at Rocky Mountain Lake on Labor Day. The band furnished its own music, managed their own refreshments, and had a very successful day. The proceeds were for the benefit of the band, to assist in paying for instruments. CONCERT AT COUNTY JAIL. The opinion of officers, inmates and sequestators who attended the entertainment last Sunday afternoon pronounced it one of the best of the series gotten up by Miss Ivah Dunklee, head of a white organization that provides music and literature for the alleviation of the depressive spirits of the unfortunates and an establishment of a hope for reformation after regaining of their liberty. They were contributors from both races to the program which consisted of vocal and instrumental solos, duets, popular and patriotic songs—the latter being sung by the audience. A special feature was the rendition of violin solos by Master Atwell Rose, the only son of Mrs. Pearl Rose of 712 Twenty-ninth street, a boy of 12 years whose exhibition delighted the audience in such a manner as to cause a number of encores. There is no doubt about the artistic ability of this little musician and with careful training and encouragement he will be an invaluable asset to the Colored race and a virtuoso that America will be proud of. Miss Cleo Hobson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Hobson, of 2352 Glenarm place, came in for high commendation for her execution on the piano. Her touch and technique prove her a musician, and her faultless rendition of her solo, "Les Deux Alonettes," and violin accompaniment place her within the ranks of our leading pianists. Good results beneficial to these juveniles and the community should result if they resolve to do team work. Mr. Charles Clark, our popular tenor, and Mrs. Pearl Rose were well received and applauded as their voices seemed to soothe the troubled minds of the inmates. Hewetson-Watson was at the piano. The thanks of Miss Ivah Dunklee for the charitable assistance and her special appreciation of the youngsters are cordially accepted. Talent trained and sued for worthy causes as the above know no color line or racial differences and should be an encouragement for our people in Denver to quality.—(Editor.) POPULAR DENVERITES IMPRESS CITY COUNCIL. Mrs. Isabel Stewart, one of the secretaries of the Colored Citizens' League made a very favorable impression on members of the city council, when she appeared before them Thursday, 31st ult., as one of the delegates opposing the intended ordinance to segregate white and colored residents of the city in the purchasing of property. Her clear reasoning and logical argument against the request of the Denver Property Owners' Protective Association was a proof in itself of the advantages to be derived from the suppression and elimination of any laws that interfere with the right and liberty of the citizens of this American Republic, and Mrs. Stewart who is a native of Colorado, having descended from parents who are numbered among the pioneers of the state, they having arrived here in 1858, merits the strong support of every Negro property owner, as well as the backing of the entire Colored population to champion successfully this intended infringement of the fundamental principles of our constitution. Associated with Mrs. Stewart, were Messrs. N. J. Walker and C. W. Burford, residents of the city for many years, who spoke vigorously against the action of the Protective Association and appealed to the Council to assist them in protecting the fair name of Denver by their unanimous negative reply to this American organization which should be ostracized from our community. JAMES C. STARKWEATHER Candidate for State Senator Republican Primaries, September 12. In securing the nomination of James C. Starkweather for state senator the colored population of Colorado can be assured of an honest and faithful representative who will support every bill that will contribute to their progress and advantage, and with the same manly spirit suppress and denounce every infringement and encroachment on their right and liberty as American citizens. As a lawyer, Mr. Starkweather has served his colored clients over twenty years with the same attention to duty and devotion to service as his other clients, and is always ready and willing to champion the cause of the weak against the strong with his untiring zeal for right. He is personally known to the Colorado Statesman for over thirty years, and we can affirm, corroborate and substantiate every opinion favorably expressed towards him, as we have from our long association in various phases of business found him a man in every sense of the word—a man whose integrity has established itself impressively on the people of the entire state. Our appreciation of his services can be best shown by our votes next Tuesday nominating him for this honorable position and setting the pace for his further election. FORMER DENVER RESIDENT DEAD. Mr. Thomas Townsend, who, with his wife, Mrs. Amanda Townsend, was a resident of Denver prior to 1899, passed away at Binger, Okla., on the 10th inst. He was born in Halifax county, Va., in 1836, and in 1864 enlisted in the Twelfth Regiment, Colored Infantry, as a principal musician. He was mustered out at Nashville, Tenn., in 1864. He was a member of the Burnside Grand Army post. While in Denver Mr. Townsend was for a number of years employed as engineer at the Halleck block. His grandson, Verden Townsend Paynter, went on from Washington and is now with his grandmother at Binger.

SEGREGATION BILL BEFORE COUNCIL COMMITTEE. The adjourned meeting of the city council to hear arguments for and against the intended ordinance for the segregation of Negro property owners was held last Thursday afternoon in the council chamber and attended by a large and representative gathering of both races. Speakers on both sides of the question were heard and the council closed the debate for the regular session when the bill will be formally presented. The interest manifested by our people show that we are resolving to have a united front on matters that affect our standing as American citizens and very soon the recognition which we deserve will be given us. The debate resolved itself into "the protection of property rights of white people" and "the deprivation of the invaluable rights of the Negro American citizens provided by the constitution." This vicious, unjust and and unfair bill we hope be denounced by the wise and sober heads of our city council who will place a right value on American citizenship which is superior to all other privileges and advantages in our United States of America.

RAILROADS ACCEPT LAW THEY CLAIM WILL COST MILLIONS ANNUALLY TO PAY MEN. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Washington, Sept. 5.—An order revoking the call for a country-wide railroad strike set for Monday was sent out by labor union officials Saturday night after Congress had passed the Adamson eight-hour day bill and sent it to the President for his signature. The bill was passed by the Senate Saturday without any change from the form in which it passed the House. The vote in the Senate was 43 to 28. Senators Hardwick of Georgia and Clarke of Arkansas were the only Democrats voting against the bill and Senator La Follette the only Republican voting for it. The House passed the bill Friday by a vote of 239 to 56. Senator Hughes, acting president pro tem of the Senate, and Speaker Clark signed the bill a few minutes after it was passed, and it was sent to the White House, where it was signed by President Wilson Sunday. Passage of the bill followed a day of debate which was conducted under circumstances singularly dramatic. It concluded two weeks of suspense during which the nation had been confronted with a strike order that, had it become operative, would have crippled the entire nation and caused a loss of millions of dollars. The bill incorporated only two of the six measures suggested by President Wilson to Congress. It provides: (1) An eight-hour day for all employees in operating trains on interstate railroads with the same pay as now given for ten hours' work and pro rata for overtime. (2) A commission to be appointed by President Wilson to investigate and report on the effect of the eighth-hour day as applied to railroads, in not less than six nor more than nine months. The remainder of the legislative program has been abandoned by this session of Congress at least. Efforts to amend the bill in the Senate were futile, the supreme effort to alter it having been led by Senator Underwood, who sought to provide that the Interstate Commerce Commission should have power to fix railroad wages and hours of service in the future. This amendment was defeated by a vote of 57 to 14. Railroad officials declare that the action of Congress will cost them $60,000,000 a year in increased wages to the trainmen. Brotherhood officials say the enactment will mean not more than an annual increase of $20,000,000. In Congress and among railroad officials there has existed doubt as to the constitutionality of the law, but what steps, if any, may be taken to test this, have not been indicated. The measure embraces virtually all of the President's original proposals to the employés and the railroad heads, although it is only a part of the legislative program he took to Congress when his negotiations had failed. Issuance of the orders of cancellation followed a meeting of the four brotherhood heads and thirteen remaining members of their committee of 640. JAPAN'S ULTIMATUM TO CHINA. Clash Between Soldiers Is Basis of Tokio Note to Peking. Peking, China,—Baron Gonsuke Hayashi, the Japanese minister to China, has presented to the Chinese foreign office four demands for settlement of the clash between Chinese and Japanese troops at Cheng Chiatun, eastern Mongolia, Aug. 13, when fifty Chinese and seventeen Japanese were killed or wounded. The Japanese demands follow: "First: Dismissal of the Chinese officers in command of the troops. "Second: The withdrawal of Chinese troops from the district in which the trouble arose. "Third: Indemnification of the families of the Japanese killed." "Fourth: The granting to Japanese of police rights in inner Mongolia." Chinese officials regard the demands as virtually an elimination of Chinese authority in inner Mongolia. Tokio.-Another clash between Chinese and Japanese troops is officially reported from Chaoyangpo, Mongolia, and has led to the dispatch of heavy Japanese reinforcements.

FRENCH CAPTURE PARTS OF TOWNS RUSSIANS DRIVE BACK AUSTRI ANS CENTER IN OPERATIONS IN GALICIAN SECTOR. TAKE 4,500 PRISONERS BRITISH GAIN POSSESSION OF LEUZE WOOD ON THE SOMME. ITALIANS ADVANCING. Western Newspaper Union News Service. London, Sept. 7.—While their compatriots were busy north of the Somme, warding off German counter attacks or engaged in artillery duels, the French south of the river drove their men farther into the German lines for noteworthy gains. In stubborn fighting over a front of 4 miles between Vermandovillers and Chilly, the Germans have been forced to give up the northern portion of Vermandovillers, while the French have occupied the outskirts of the railway junction town of Chaulnes, and thrown their forces along the railway running from Chaulnes to Roye, between Chaulnes and Chilly. To the north the operations of the French, with Barleux and ultimately Peronne as their objective, also met with success. Southeast of Belloy-en-Santerre, further German trenches were captured and most of the village of Berny-en-Santerre fell into French hands. Paris says the number of prisoners taken apparently was large. Berlin admits the loss of Clery, which lies a short distance north of Peronne. In Galicia on the front of the Zlota Lipa and Dniester rivers the Russians have driven the Teutonic allies from fortified positions and have taken 4,500 prisoners, among them about 2,000 Germans. Berlin concedes a victory to the Russians in this region. Violent fighting continues around Brzezany, southeast of Lemberg, but here, Berlin says, the Russians suffered heavy losses and have made no advance. Russian attacks near Zborow, northern Galicia, and in Volhynia, also failed, according to Berlin. Fighting is still going on in the Carpathians, where the Russians claim the capture of additional heights. In the Rumanian theatre German and Bulgarian troops are still engaged with the Rumanians in the Dobrudja region. Berlin reports the capture of seven of the Tutrakan works, together with their armored batteries. The Rumanians claim that they have retaken all the Dobrudja frontier east of the Danube between Bulgaria and Rumania. The towns of Islacx and Kalafat, on the Danube, have been bombarded by the Teutons. The Russians in Turkish Armenia continue their progress against the Turks near Ognott, inflicting heavy casualties on them, according to Petrograd. In Albania the Italian advance has been stopped, says Berlin, and the Teutonic allies have recaptured all positions taken from them recently east of Aylona. Topeka, Kan.—E. P. Ripley, president of the Atchison, Topeka & Santo Fé railway, declared in a formal statement that the Santa Fé does not intend to comply with the Adamson eight-hour law, recently enacted by Congress to avert a threatened rail road strike, until ordered to do so by the United States Supreme Court. Victim of Crash at Springs Dies. Colorado Springs.—Albert A. Nostrum, 60 years old, died at St. Francis hospital of injuries received in the crash of a section of the grandstand at the Welsh-White fight. F. W. Purcell, district attorney, and Coroner Beyle have called an inquest. The list of injured has mounted to more than 200, and, according to doctors, there are at least forty or fifty more who were treated privately, taken to private homes or boarding houses or returned to Denver, and whose names have not been reported. Ashurst Impugns Veracity of Penrose. Washington.—The Senate indulged in one of the wildest sessions of its history during a debate on the corrupt practices bill. At one point during the proceedings a personal encounter between Senators Ashurst of Arizona, a Democrat, and Curtis of Kansas, a Republican, was averted only by the interference of Senator Smoot of Utah. At another time Senator Ashurst called Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania a liar and refused for a time to retract his statement. Finally he made an equivocal withdrawal. Six Men Hold Up Arizona Train. Douglas, Ariz.—The Golden State limited train of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific railway, was held up at Apache siding, forty miles east of Douglas, by six masked men. The robbers uncoupled the baggage and two mail cars and forced the crew to run to the county road bridge, three miles west of Apache, where they tried for an hour to break into the express safe, firing six charges of nitro glycerine before they gave up the attempt and rode for the north on cow ponies. 924 19th Street, Denver, Colorado All Kinds of Sandwiches Bolden Bros.

THOMAS D. COBBEY. CANDIDATE FOR DISTRICT JTDGE AT REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES SEPT. 12. 1916. M. B. To the Republican Voters of Denver:— I am a candidate for the Republican nomination for the office of District Judge to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of J. H. Teller. Four years ago I was a candidate for this office, and according to the official returns received 20,441 votes. At that election Greeley W. Whitford was also a candidate and received 11,454 votes. At the last assembly of the Republican party four persons were designated to be candidates at the primary, Sept. 12th, 1916. This assembly was under the control of and run largely by A. M. Stevenson and others. I was not given my designation by any intentional act of the machine. The votes I received were in spite of its opposition. Whitford, of course, was high man, receiving 294 votes; I came next with 171; Judge Richmond next with 165; Judge Palmer next with 101. I have resided here since 1890; am fairly well known in Denver but never held public office here. All three of the candidates running against me for this nomination have been long in various official positions with well known records. Surely our great Republican party is not confined to these few men for its officers. Can't some one else have a show? Is it any more than fair, after a residence of 25 years and more in your midst, that I ask your favorable consideration for an office for which I believe I am well qualified, as against those who have been long in public office? I would be glad to have your assistance in this struggle and if elected will give every litigant an absolute square deal without fear or favor. Yours respectfully, THOMAS D. COBBEY. No Foundation.

The Hard Task Many a man who prides himself on his physical strength cannot even hold his tongue.—Judge. MARTIN H. KENNEDY Candidate for Attorney General Republican Primaries Sept. 12, 1916. O Martin Herbert Kennedy, candidate for Attorney General at the Republican primaries, has lived in Colorado for 40 years. He attended the University of Colorado and received his degree at Leland Stanford University; took his law course at the Harvard Law School and the Law School of France. He has been practicing in Denver for 17 years; he is the son of S. S. Kennedy, the Colorado pioneer flour milling and mining man, who was for many years president of the Denver School Board. The Rocky Mountain Herald says: "Martin Herbert Kennedy, popular Republican candidate for Attorney General, who is rapidly forging ahead for primary election September 12, 1916. His clean record, ability and splendid qualifications make him a formidable candidate in the race." He proposes, if elected, to make the office of Attorney General one of the strong departments of the state government by selecting from the bar of Colorado only the ablest specialists in the law to aid him in the defense of the State's rights and cases. The Denver Times says, That he is eminently qualified by education and training for the position of Attorney General. Mr. Kennedy assures the Colored People of Colorado that his office will be open to them on equal terms with all citizens, as his strict adherence to the constitution of the United States impresses him with the necessity of using any public office he occupies for the advancement of a country and the betterment of a people's condition.

The island of Helgoland, In the North sea, was for 83 years in the possession of the British, but in 1890 it was ceded to Germany in return for the surrender of German claims on Zanzibar where British interests were in future to be recognized as supreme. The island is situated 28 miles northwest of the mouth of the Elbe, and since its occupation by Germany it has been strongly fortified. The Shetland islands are a group of more than a hundred islands and islets, forming the northernmost Scottish county. They are thus included in Great Britain itself, to which they of course belong. Flashlight Needed. Every household should possess a good electric flashlight. It is invaluable to the mother when there are little children and she often has to get up at night. Flash it into the medicine cabinet, and there will be no tragedies of mistaken bottles gotten in the dark. Even in the daytime it is handy to look into dark closets, attics, drawers or dark corners. The beauty of it is that one may throw a strong light just where it is needed without a particle of danger from fire. You may even flash it into the gasoline tank with safety. Smokel If a cigarette smoker wishes to give up the practice he should carry a box of crystallized ginger in his pocket. A nip of this aromatic confection will, it is claimed, ward off any tendency to look wistfully upon the enemy. Another help recommended consists of an oyster on the half-shell, sprinkled plentifully with salt and paprika. When that is swallowed, the "bite," it is asserted, will remove the craving for the cigarette. Candidate for Supreme Court Justice at Republican Primaries September 12. JUDGE GEORGE W. ALLEN, candidate for Supreme Court Justice at Republican Primaries, September 12, is no stranger to the people of Denver and Colorado, and from his years of association with the courts in the position of District Judge, also his connection with legal matters in general he is now familiarly known as the "Father of The Courts." For thirty years, Judge Allen as a resident of Denver, has carefully watched its growth, and in his capacity as jurist, has a record which is more than enviable, having dispensed the law for eighteen years fearlessly and impartially, yet always tinged with mercy and humanitarian spirit. Many*a law-breaker became reformed from the judicial advice given him accompanying the punishment he received from Judge Allen, and one of his special features on the bench was the helping to restore family ties in marital relationship that would endeavor to be served thru divorce proceedings. He comes now asking the support of the voters because of the galaxy of men, strong in civic righteousness which the Republican Assembly has designated, for a position in the highest court of the State—the Supreme Court—which is the bulwark of defense among the great common people. The decisions and findings of the courts over which Judge Allen presided prove his fitness for this exalted position, as party politics never influence or intimidate him in giving an opinion in keeping with the law and a logical interpretation thereof. The public regards Judge Allen as a strong man whose honesty of purpose and splendid character find indorsement in the confidence placed in him by his legal associates, who offer him the greatest esteem. His ideas for the best government for the people under all conditions and circumstances make him a favorite with the people, and therefore there should be no doubt as to his success by an overwhelming majority for him by the electors of Colorado on Tuesday, September 12, another proof of the appreciation of a well deserving official whose record can never be erased from the public's mind.

No end of suffering is being prevented and life itself is frequently saved by the use of a strong magnet for the extraction of bits of metal which have become imbedded in the bodies of iron and steel workers. Lifting heavy weights by the aid of magnets is not an unusual engineering operation, but their use in surgery is something quite new. Becoming. The process of overcoming, of be- coming, is no light achievement. The whole creation groanneth and travail- eth in the task. In this warfare all aliving things are engaged; not mat only, not the kindler beasts only, but all that is capable of pain, that is of progress. Hard to Be Immaculate. Two of the hardest things in the world to keep clean are a white vest and a spotless reputation.—Philadelphia Record. Unique Advertisement. The owner of an electric shop at Los Angeles recently advertised his goods by painting red lines on the sidewalk in front of the store. These lines all terminated at the window, and were continued within the window by bands of red ribbon leading to some of the special bargains. This scheme to draw trade was both attractive and effective. Rich Manganese Mines. Manganese mines at Concepcion Point, Lower California, are reported to be the richest known deposits of this element in the world. They are situated in the arid hills of a small peninsula, 25 miles long and five to eight miles wide, between the coast of the Gulf of Lower California and Concepcion Bay. Harsh Moorish Custom.
