OUR TERRITORY: COLORADO, WYOMING, MONTANA, IDAHO, ARIZONA AND NEW MEXICO THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY THE FUTURE OF AMERICA MAY DEPEND UPON THE WAY IT TREATS THE COLORED RACE THE WHITES CAN'T BLUFF OUT CROOKED TREATMENT OF OUR COLORED FELLOW CITIZENS MUCH LONGER. LET'S GET TOGETHER. VOL. XXVI. THE FUTURE OF A DEPEND UPON TREATS TO THE WHITES CAN'T BLUFF OUR COLORED FELLOW LET'S GET THIS government cannot afford to be unfriendly to one-fifth of our own population, for racial reasons. It may need their help in a crisis. One-half the Negro race in this country are no darker than the bulk of other mixed blood races here; why all this caste distinction? Any defects in the black race are pretty largely due to inferior racial opportunity; because they are ostracized. Why not stop it. Recent uprisings of the colored people are not a ocalized spirit of complaint and bitterness, but inherent desire for common justice, for their rights under the Constitution. They do not accept their fixed social status; they would be fools, like any other class of people, if they did not aspire to a higher and better life. And they don't want the earth. Only the justice we guaranteed in the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendment. As Pastor B. W. Swain of the A. M. E. Church, Boston, put it:— "We are 100 per cent Americans, from teeth to toe-nails, and we propose to stand by the principles of this government so long as there is a government, but at the same time to lay our wrongs before the American people and ask that they be right." "Social equality takes care of itself," Pastor Swain says, "You can't legislate for or against it; but we oppose-lynching and Jim Crow cars and segregation. For the outraging of women, white or black, the punishment should be hanging, but only by a judge and jury. If I have the money, I can ride with as much comfort as anyone from Boston to Washington, D. C., but once south of that, even if I have $10,000, I must get out of the car and go into the car for colored people, designed to humiliate the Negro and make him less than a man. And I claim the right to buy property anywhere, whether on Commonwealth avenue or anywhere else. There should be no segregated districts." The racial issue in America is the most momentous problem we have, because it involves the rights of nearly twenty millions of as patriotic citizens as we have, who some day, may be the balance of power to save America, in a crisis. There is absolutely no question of the Americanism of the colored people in the United States, nor of their God-fearing and law-abiding qualities. They are an asset to this nation, a buffer against any attempts to destroy the foundations of our government or the integrity of its institutions. The government did not discount their worth, when it came to using men to die for this country; 400,000 colored men were good enough for that, and thousands paid the price for liberty, made the supreme sacrifice on foreign soil. It is up to the boards of trade, women's clubs, churches, educational State Hint. & Nat Hint Bos. State House factors, and all right thinking persons to set on foot influences and projects to harmonize relations between mixed blood and white races in America. Colored people actually have preference of work in the South. In the North a conspiracy exists to freeze them out. Here and there a colored person may get a job among white peoples higher activities, but it is only to take the "cuss off," and he is seldom advanced any higher. This single feature of employment, is really at the bottom of most of the discontent and bitterness among the colored people. Right here in Boston, where sentiments about "freedom" are engraved on dozens of tablets, are hundreds of big concerns employing 100 to 1,000 people who will not hire a colored person. Why? Colored people consciently send their children to the public schools and spend money to put them through high school, confidently expecting the white people will do the right thing when these children are fully prepared to compete for jobs in the business world. A job on the elevator is as near as these educated colored young men and women ever get to the business office. From out of the public grammar and high schools are coming each year colored young men and women as refined and well educated as any other class of young people in America, yet few business concerns will give them sales or office jobs, and this is true the country over. Ambitious colored youths are kept down. Colored people are not wanted in the business colleges. They are frozen out of office jobs, and salesmen's jobs. The thing to do is break down these barriers and give them a chance. The existing prejudice and discrimination against the colored race in the business world is un-American and in-human. It serves to keep down, and render defiant, twenty million Americans who are meeting every requirement as far as permitted to fit themselves for an even chance in the business world. When these citizens present themselves to the business world to compete for situations, all their preparation and equipment counts for nothing. The color line stops negotiations. Custom is the only barrier, and that can be easily broken down.

Included in his great number of patients are said to have been men and women of wealth and distinction. He caused the eyes of the country to center on the little town in which he practiced. His career was rather a stormy one in Tennessee and as the result of certain indiscretions, involving a young white girl, he was hailed before the courts and later forced to leave for Kentucky where he plied his trade. He gave several thousand dollars to the State University of Kentucky, for colored, shortly before his death which occurred several months ago. LEONARD WOOD LIKE ROOSEVELT (By EDGAR G. BROWN.)

Morrow is governor of the state of Kentucky there will be no great gathering and holiday preparations to pull off a lynching in that state. Instead of a holiday feast, celebrated with all the flendish glee of the heathens, mourning has encouched itself about the homes of the celebrants. Mobism has gone down in defeat, while law and order have perched themselves upon the portals of "law supreme." Governor Morrow has, almost overnight stepped into the class of the big men of the country. It surely requires a big man in this day and hour to get above the howlings of the mob. He did not take snap judgment, but, brave and courageous, he met and faced the mob, pleaded with them to let the law take its course, and warned the maddened crowd that the law must be enforced and the processes for the administration of justice must be respected.—The St. Louis Argus.

The number of horses on farms January 1 this year is estimated at 427,000, compared with 419,000 on January 1, 1919, and the average value per head this year is estimated at $79, compared with $91 last year. This is the largest percentage of decrease shown in the value of any class of livestock. Jack Kipeck, a prominent mining man of the San Juan section, is dead, following an attack of pneumonia.

WANT LOAN FROM U.S. WILL WITHDRAW DECREE AN NULLING RUSSIA'S FOREIGN DEBT, IS REPORT. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Washington, Feb. 27.—In a new peace proposal to the great powers, reported in official dispatches received, soviet Russia pledges establishment of democratic principles in Russia and the calling of a constituent assembly. It promises further to withdraw the decree annulling Russia's foreign debt, restoring 60 percent of the liability, and also to pay arrears of interest, giving as a guarantee for the fulfillment of its obligations considerable mining concessions of platinum and silver to an Anglo-American syndicate. In return and in addition to the formal peace treaties, the soviet government would require Great Britain and other countries to abandon all intervention in Russian affairs. It also proposes that the United States allow a credit to Russia, conditional upon considerable concessions in that country. A dispatch from London quoting a Moscow wireless message, said the Soviet government had made new peace overtures to the United States, Japan and Rumania. No such proposal has reached the State Department and officials were unable to say whether the peace suggestion contained in the other official advices as outlined above were those referred to in the Moscow radiogram. The suggestion that the United States had been coupled with Japan and Rumania in a new peace offer was received with some surprise. It was assumed, however, that the new offer was in line with the consistent policy of the soviet government to attempt separate negotiations with the allied and associate powers. The Supreme Council at London has announced that it would not negotiate with the soviet, for the present at least. This action does not bind the United States, however, as the American government is not represented in the council. In the absence of any official intimation as to the probable course of the United States should a peace offer come officially from the soviet government, it was recalled that the American government was the first to proclaim the Bolsheviki as international outlaws. In some quarters it was said that in view of this it appeared probable that the United States government would not consider peace proffers unless democratic principles actually had been applied to the Russian government. Reds Advance on Chinese Frontier. London.—War office dispatches say that the Bolshevik advance in Siberia continues. The Red troops have advanced to the Chinese frontier in the Iii river district and have demanded that the Chinese government give up the Russian consul and all refugees and permit the appointment of Bolshevik consuls in the province of III. Failing compliance with this demand, the Reds threaten to reoccupy the province. Gives $2,000,000 Endowment. Detroit, Mich.—A $2,000,000 endowment to the University of Michigan, to be used in the education of women of the far east, has been announced here as the gift of Levi H. Barbour, Detroit manufacturer. The fund is to come to the university from rentals to be derived over a period of ninety-nine years from a piece of property which was formerly Mr. Barbour's home. Adopts Change on Mandatories. Washington.—The Republican reservation regarding mandatories, attached to the peace treaty last November over the opposition of thirty-three Democratic senators, was adopted by a vote of 68 to 4 in the Senate after administration leader had withdrawn their opposition to it. Wants Philippines Dry. Manila, P.

Big Cut in Army Officers Washington—Eight thousand fewer army officers than asked for by the War Department are provided by the House army reorganization bill, presented by Chairman Kahn of the military affairs committee. Reductions in the number of officers were made in every branch of service, but the sharpest cut was for the aviation service, which received only 1,514 of the 4,500 asked for. In all the department sought 26,179 officers and the House committee granted 17,820. ```markdown ``` When the Cold Dismal Spring Rains Set In so penetrating that your umbrella acts like a colander, the only sure way of keeping warm and dry is with a MAY CO.

THE SCHOLTZ-MUTUAL DRUG CO., THE STANDARD DRUG COMPANY OF THE WEST. THAT the announcement of the merger of these two drug companies will be advantageous to the people of Denver, also other parts of Colorado and the West in general there can be no doubt, as the pres- will be advantageous to the people of Denver, also other parts of Colorado and the West in general there can be no doubt, as the prestige established by the Scholtz Drug Company for four decades and the ever-ready-to-please motto of the Mutual Drug Co. will merit a patronage far beyond the ordinary calculation. Appearing on another page of this issue is the announcement of the Scholtz-Mutual Drug Company, and the information given to the public as to their determination to offer the best lines in merchandise and also give the best attention in service, will be satisfactory to all those whose good fortune it is to read it. The name "Scholtz" is a household one; the word "Mutual" is understood by all, and therefore this firm resolves to increase the confidence of its patrons as well as make them the beneficiaries of every sale, general and special—the same working to their entire advantage. From our personal knowledge of the combined firm, we can faithfully affirm every statement in their announcement, and besides verifying the fact as to the quality goods and class of service that we get, we can cheerfully assure the public that they are sure of value received in these stores from the smallest to the largest business transaction with them. THE NECESSITY FOR ORGANIZING IN our review of the progress of individuals, which makes them become a successful race, people and nation, we can arrive at no other conclusion than that this success has its origin in their ability to organize and their adherence to such organizations; hence our taking this opportunity to present to our readers (especially the members of our race) certain information which if acted on now will be advantageous to us in the near future and be handed down to our posterity for their guidance and welfare. The fact cannot be disputed that there are a few persons of the Negro race in this country who by perserverance, backed up by a strong determination to overcome and overthrow anything tending to retard the wheels of progress in their lives, have achieved and accomplished great things; but we may repeat this question that was asked on an important occasion and at a crucial moment: "What are these among so many?" and although we are witnesses of some miraculous performances in these days, yet we have not the Arch Performer in the flesh to command and compel us to imbibe the get-together spirit and pertain to the habit of closer union with one another. It therefore devolves on us to meet more often, to exchange our ideas frequently, and last but not least, form organizations with the glue-like quality in us that will necessarily result in such an adamantine feature that the baseless enemy, prejudice, cannot defeat, and then we will reach the goal of success alike any other people on this earth, enabling us to assist in the dictation of how to govern and be governed. As we travel in and through this great United States, with its wonderful natural advantages, we seen to solve the problem of the cause for such an emigration to this country, and we particularly note the way how these emigrants strive to combine their efforts and consolidate their actions, which make them become wealthy and wise and in the end attain the enviable role of leaders of us, filling the highest positions in the land politically, financially, socially, etc. We can find them occupying the presidential chair, the houses of our Congress and Senate, classed among the greatest railroad magnates of the world, and in every conceivable form of business they are what is commonly called top-notchers by their prominence. The reason is obvious, as they start early in the way of organizing, they endeavor, even though they might have been unknown to each other in their native homes, to live, act and work together, so that soon after they establish an impenetrable and invincible foundation which safeguards their superstructure and finally forces recognition of more than ordinary type from our government. What other result can there be but success in the superlative sense of the word, as, unlike us, they start early, do not fight and wrangle within their ranks, but unite with one aim, for one purpose, becoming so impregnable that they secure for themselves and their offspring perpetual privileges, facilities and advantages from our government. Nearly all the wealthy men of this country (excluding the legatees) have had their experience of poverty's role, and the wonderful results obtained by them through the agency of organization have been declared and demonstrated again and again. Why can't we measure up? Don't say no; don't think the impossible; eliminate the word can't from the dictionary of our lives and let us profit by the examples and standards so long established by the dominating factor in this our land of the free and home of the brave. 1914 caused him to return to America.

By HIRAM JOHNSON, U. S. Senator From California. There is real danger that in our just anger against those who advocate or justify crimes of violence we may be led by reactionary politicians or newspapers who are wearing the livery of patriotism, or by our own zeal, into extravagance of suppression which will imperil the very foundation of the republic, the fundamental American principles of free speech and free assemblage. PETER H. There are those today who, lashing themselves into fury against men holding opinions contrary to theirs, would suppress free legitimate expression, and, on the other hand, there are those who preach sedition and would destroy all human initiative and confiscate the fruits of all human endeavor. Your task and mine is to prevent the consummation of either wicked design and safely to proceed on our way between reaction and ultra-radicalism. The preacher of violence and the public advocate of the bomb and the torch must be drastically dealt with under the law, but the right of any citizen within the law to express his views and beliefs is as sacred as the right of property itself and must be as zealously guarded. The reaction which would prevent legitimate free speech, which would make government the mentor of men's honest opinions spells in itself revolution. In a free country men and women may agitate for such political reforms and changes as they see fit; but they must confine their agitation to lawful means. If you can exclude Socialists in New York today, tomorrow you may exclude Republicans in Mississippi and Democrats in Pennsylvania. We can continue as a republic only by free public opinion. Censorship and government propaganda curtail and limit freedom and then destroy it. Ideas imprisoned become high explosives, while ideas unconstrained are as harmless as powder unconfined. Illinois Good Roads Idea Affects All the Mississippi Valley States. By W. G. EDENS, Illinois Highway Improvement Ass'n. The most important happening of 1919, and one that promises most results in 1920, is the spreading of the Illinois good roads idea to the other states of the Mississippi valley. The Illinois idea emphasized two facts. First, that the good roads problem is essentially a local problem. Second, that in its widest development it necessitates a combination of local interests of such widespread character that each state must combine with the surrounding states in developing chief local highways into main interstate highways. The Illinois idea in perfecting state roads has been crystalized in the state bond issue scheme, under which automobile licenses are capitalized in such a way as to finance maintenance and construction of the main highways of the state, as well as supervise the construction and maintenance of the chief feeders. The Illinois idea as applied to the national highway system was adopted by the Mississippi valley convention at Washington early in December. This is a constitutional co-operation between the bureau of agriculture and the state highway department on the so-called federal aid roads. It is opposed to the concentration of full control over federal highways in any federal commission. A few states were willing to divest themselves of any interest in federal aid roads and turn their power over to a federal commission or a federal bureau. Other states had no well formulated plan on this subject and were willing to go either way. Illinois, however, stood for the development of the federal aid road bureau, as well as the perfecting of the state's entity. The result will be a general adoption of the Illinois plan in all the Mississippi valley states, and within a short time the main roads to this state will pick up the main roads in the adjoining states and will gradually extend as far north as Canada and as far south as New Orleans and the Gulf of Mexico, as well as to the Rockies and the Alleghenies. Will Husbands and Wives Take Their Differences Before Congress? By N. B. DIAL, U. S. Senator From South Carolina. In this country we have a constitutional form of government and laws to redress all wrongs, and when these are upturned anarchy will prevail. Without intending in the least to criticize my colleagues, I am thoroughly convinced that congress is taking cognizance of too many quarrels between different groups of citizens. We are continually having hearings, spending money, and consuming time, and, to my mind, very little good has been accomplished. If the parties to these controversies knew that they would not get the ear of congress, they would get together and settle their own grievances more rapidly and there would be less unrest and turmoil. I fear that we are allowing our body to fast become the clearing house for the scandals of the nation and are affording free advertising to much muckraking that should not be heralded abroad. We are elected directly by the people, and we know, or at least should know, what is best for them, and should legislate on national subjects in a broad and comprehensive way. If the pace we have been setting in the recent past is continued—taking notice of all items from school-teachers' pay to the League of Nations and peace treaty—it will not be long before husbands and wives will bring their differences for us to settle. We should remember that the several states still have rights, and they should cope with them and settle all intra-state questions, and that we should not undertake to investigate matters unless they are of a peculiarly national character and unless we have a constitutional right to apply a remedy. It is high time to lay aside all unnecessary restrictions and let the public act normally again. It is a function of government to tax, regulate, and supervise, but not to engage in business. The government should get out of all business it can at the earliest minute and allow its citizens to pursue their usual course in a natural and legitimate way, otherwise we will grow up a nation of dependents instead of an independent population. --- THE COLORADO STATESMAN --- The Mouth-Piece of the People of Colorado and the Entire West --- A RELIABLE chronicle of their doings and progress; a faithful mirror of their wants, their hopes, their best aspirations.

PIANO RECITAL The pupils of Mrs. Rhoda Anderson Chambers in piano recital last Thursday evening at Fern hall gave a good account of themselves in their initial effort after one year's study. Pupils of different grades and ages gave proof of retentive powers relative to memory tests; and the touch, musical inclination and artistic aspirations were much in evidence, impressing the large and appreciative audience that real talent and natural endowment abound in Denver among our people. Mrs. Jenkins, mother of one of the minor pupils, made brief and well chosen remarks at the opening, in which she informed the audience that the event was not an exhibition of artists, but just a rendition of the year's work as well as showing the possibilities in our people. The program as a whole was commendable, and the generous applause which was merited was expressive of the audience's appreciation. We are pleased at the efforts of Mrs. Chambers and her pupils and welcome this addition to our staff of Denver music teachers. Miss Bessie La Belle and Miss Hortense White assisted with vocal numbers and their rendition was very pleasing. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. Since the last report, the following members have been admitted: J.

Nearly two hundred people were present. Dr. Kunitomo gave a sketch of the history of the coming of the Japanese to this country, and their subsequent treatment upon their arrival. He held that the colored races should form an alliance and stand together, "for," he said, "if the colored races do not stand up for each other, no one else is going to do it." The meeting tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon will be in the nature of a joint debate. Subject, Resolved that national prohibition as recently adopted by our government will not prove an effective remedy against the evils of the liquor traffic. There will be two speakers on each side. The program will begin promptly at four o'clock. Both men and women are invited. FORM LEAGUE TO PROTECT THEIR HOMES IN CHICAGO Chicago, Ill., Feb. 17.—The colored citizens here whose homes have been bombed and those who fear they may suffer from the same outrage have formed a league, "The Protective Circle of Chicago," and held their first meeting recently at St. Mark's M. E. Church. The speakers were Dr. Charles E. Bentley, Lucus L. McGee, Alderman Louis B. Anderson, Attorney Lews E. Johnson, Mrs. Mabel C. Clark and Jesse Binga, and others whose homes have been bombed. ABOUT LYNCHING. "Lynching is a crime against judgment and justice, reason and righteousness, an assault on our most sacred institutions and is an affront to the accumulated wisdom of past ages. It is a condemnation of Christianity and merits the excoriation of every high-minded citizen." Thus spoke Chairman W. H. Hays of the Republican national committee, at the convention of the Lincoln League of America, an organization of Negro Republicans. Mr. Hays is right. While the "American people are posing as a people of law and order, a people observing the highest principles of self-government, self-restraint and obedience to law, it is unfortunate as well as destructive to "democracy" to indulge in lynching. Not without reason does war-form Europe raise the question as to whether America possesses the rare virtues of which it boasts. Not without justification does Germany doubt the sincerity of America "to make the world safe for democracy" when it is possible to point to lynchings in this country—a denial of the efficacy of law and an admission that self-government under law is abandoned. Lynching is brutal, lawless, anarchistic, un-American and contrary to civilization and Christianity. SHORTER CHAPEL NOTES. 11: 90 n. m—"The Master's Way." 7: 90 n. n—"First Thucs First." 7:30 p. m. — First Flights To have missed the services last Sabbath one missed a rare treat. At the morning hour, Prof. Geo. Morrison and his famous orchestra, as a fitting tribute to their relatives and friends whom they hold so dear, rendered as a farewell a most beautifully arranged program prior to their extended trip abroad. The program consisted of two numbers by the orchestra, "Pretty Little Rainbow," and "Sweet and Low." Vocal solo, "Let the Rest of the World Go By," by Mr. Eugene Montgomery. Instrumental trio, "I Know What It Means to Be Lonesome," Davis, Watson and Morrison. The final number, Mr. Morrison's favorite, a violin solo, "The Old Refrain." We are indeed proud of our boys, several of whom were reared in Denver, namely, Mr. Eugene Montgomery and Cuthbert Byrd, Mr. Morrison's boyhood home, Boulder, being just outside of the city limits. Denver claims him also as its product and it was in Shorter Chapel where he made his initial bow before the public as a violinist. While giving words of encouragement to the parting, we were reminded by the choir that they held this day in sacred remembrance of their dearly beloved deceased choirster, Mrs. Jennie LeNoir, who had put out to sea one short year ago in the crossing of the bar, and as a memorial sang her favorite songs. Mme. Lillian Jones sang, as only she can, "Deep River." Rev. Thomas, who after a pleasant as well as profitable trip to Baltimore, where he went in order to register his vote before the Bishop's council against the proposed division of this, the fifth district, filled the pulpit at the evening hour, the subject discussed was "Seserved Power in Christion Life."

It was, like a bolt from the clear skies when the news that Sister McKittrick had passed away. Everybody loved her. She was one of Campbell's most faithful members and always supported its work, and attended to the services, unless reasonably prevented. The members of Campbell join with the husband and family in mourning of their loss, for we feel the loss keenly. The funeral services were held at Campbell last Sunday afternoon. The church was packed with friends, every seat was taken, and many were standing to pay the last tribute to the dead. Mr. Wendel Allen's solo, "Life Is Like a Mountain Railroad," was very touching. Capt. T. J. Cates of Pueblo sang "Death Is Only a Dream." Many resolutions were read. Rev. I. S. Wilson officiated. Sister McKittrick leaves a husband, Mr. D. M. McKittrick, trustee and president of the Usher's Board, two sons, Mr. Joe Reed and Mr. Ernest Reed, three daughters, Miss Stella Reed, teacher in Sunday school, organist of Sunday school and Christian Endeavor League, and choir member; Miss Ruth Reed, Baby Lucile McKittrick, step-daughter Mrs. Elizabeth Douglas. Many beautiful floral decorations were presented by the church, friends and John Thompson employees. One blessed thought she left us was "That the good die not but merely tall asleep in Christ Jesus," and as Christ said, "Whoso ever shall believe in Me shall not perish, but have everlasting life." The morning sermon was preached by the pastor about "Tried Through Faith." The evening sermon, "The Man Christ Jesus," was also preached by the pastor. The sick are improving, Mr. and Mrs. T. P. Turner and Mother Peterson are still on the sick list. The visitors during morning and evening services were: Madame C. Young-Suggs, Mrs. Franklin, Kansas City, Mo.; Mrs. F. Kenny, Kansas City, Mo.; Mr. and Mrs. F. Johnson; Messas. Williams Steward, Williams Nelson, Searight, Robert Allen, Chas. Young, James Maure, J. R. Hanger, R. Nolan, J. D. Hurt, Kansas City, Kan.; E. M. Brooks, Oakland, Calif.; John Folwer, Waco Tex.; H. S. Kaggs. Beginning with the first Sunday in March, the pastor will begin a series of sermons on "Christian Religion." The first subject, "Christian Religion, Spiritual in Its Nature." It will be well for the members and friends of Campbell to avail themselves of the opportunity to hear every one of these sermons, and perhaps out of the many they may grasp a thought that will indeed be beneficial. George Morrison and His Great Jazz Orchestra of the West Leave Today to Fill Contracts With Columbia Record Co., New York. Go to Europe Afterwards. "Work will bring its own reward; then work! work!" And this saying can be fittingly applied to Professor George Morrison and his famous jazz orchestra, who by hard work in the study of music, playing of their instruments and specializing in the world's latest craze—THE JAZZ MUSIC—have become so efficient that their services have been and are in demand from the most exclusive and aristocratic class to the humbler classes, and with the perseverance that results in becoming artists have never failed to give satisfaction and do justice to the most critical. A violinist who studied under some of the leading instructors of Denver, Boulder and other cities of the West, Professor Morrison has been heard before large audiences in our churches, city auditorium, state capitol, exclusive gentlemen's clubs, the Denver University and Athletic clubs in the classics, solos and dances, and has been highly commended by the great American violinist, Spaulding, and other artists; also honorably mentioned in musical organizations and magazines throughout the country, and possessing the quality in his catering to the public, he has now specialized in the new role, "The Jazz," and after filling a contract with the hotel management of the renowned and popular hostelry of the West—the Albany—has been released for a period of six months or more to take up a contract with the Columbia Record Co., playing first in New York and afterwards in Europe. The name Morrison's Orchestra is correctly termed Morrison's Singing Jazz Orchestra, the harmony produced by the ten voices comprising his group being in a class by itself, and in conjunction with the instruments produces an effect that can not but be appreciated by music lovers. The following are the members of the orchestra, each being an artist, and under the capable leadership of George Morrison will not only give a good account of themselves but be thoroughly representative of Western ability in their exhibitions in New York, London, Paris and other musical centers of the world: Eugene Montgomery, playing drums, etc.; Edward Caldwell, trombone; Frank Junior, saxophone; Andrew Kirk, saxophone; Cuthbert Byrd, saxophone; Lee Morrison, banjo; Lee Davis, cornet; Al Guigess, double bass; James Walker, piano, and Prof. Morrison on the violin. In voicing the sentiments of Denver citizens, black and white, the Colorado Statesman offers its best wishes for a most successful career for this orchestra, and knowing the laurels they have won in the West, will impress the necessity of keeping together and hope that a greater inspiration be given them to help in boosting for this part of our United States, which in some minds are still "the wild wooly West," but which we are proving by our trade and our art that we are no longer. Good luck! Good fortune! and Bon Voyage! DOUGLASS UNDERTAKING CO Funeral Notices.

PALATABLE AND WHOLESOME POTATO REAL STANDBY OF HOUSEWIFE WHO ECONOMIZES THE CHEF'S TABLE Irish Potatoes Are Easy to Prepare and in Season All the Year. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) The explorer, whoever he was, who introduced the potato to the civilized world, deserves even at this late date a rising vote of thanks from all those who are trying to serve three square meals a day to their families and not go bankrupt. Potatoes are high in comparison with other days, but not as high as meat. The potato is not a substitute for meat because starch and not protein is its main substance. yet it is a food which possesses much nourishment and is palatable, wholesome, and "filling." Where economy or health makes it necessary to reduce the amount of meat eaten, potatoes can well be used to form the base of the main dish served at a meat. desired, and chopped parsley, the whites until stiff and fold in potato mixture.

Young Texas Girl Engaged by New York Business Man to Prepare Fig Preserves for Eastern Market —Work in Other Lines. Many opportunities for making money com> to girls who belong to the clubs organized by the United States department of agriculture and the state agriculture colleges. Home industries, which are peculiar to their locality or particularly adapted to it, are especially encouraged. In some sections of the South where long pine needles and grapefruit abound the girls make attractive baskets from the pine needles and fill them with candied grapefruit peel, jars of grapefruit marmlade, or some other native sweet, and sell them in the winter to tourists. Harris county, Texas, produces figs. A club girl who lives there learned, through her club, how to make delicious fig preserves. Last November a New York business man, desiring to secure a superior fig preserve to put on the market, went to the demonstration agent of Harris county and asked if she had in her clubs some one competent and willing to do such work. The extension worker knew of several, but the girl who excelled the rest in the art was young—too young, she feared, to carry on so large an undertaking. She was so well qualified, however, in every other way, that the man decided to have an interview with her. The sight and taste of her delicious preserves decided the question and the girl was engaged. A market for these fig preserves is now being built up in New York on the strength of the samples that could be put up at so late a date desired, and chopped parsley. Bent the whites until stiff and fold into the potato mixture. Put into a well- greased frying pan and bake in oven until brown. Then turn and fold on hot platter. Serve at once.

Potato and Egg Mold. 2 cups mashed po- 1 cup egg sauce tatoes Mix the potatoes with the egg sauce and season. Put in baking dish or baking cups and bake until lightly browned. The egg sauce is made as follows: Make a cream sauce by mixing the potato starch with the melted fat, combining with the milk, and cooking until thickened. Add the finely chopped egg. If potato starch is not available cornstarch may be used instead. ½ tablespoon potato 1 cup to starch 1 hard-bolled egg 1 tablespoon fat Line a dish around the sides with mashed potatoes, prepared as for the table, then fill with minced lamb or veal or other left-over meat, well seasoned; cover over top with mashed potatoes, and criss cross with a knife. Put in oven and brown. Left-over meat and potatoes can be used.

Put nuts in boiling water to loosen skins, remove skins, and put nuts through meat grinder. Mix nuts and potatoes thoroughly and season well. Add well-beaten eggs to potato mixture. Form into sausages, flour them well, put into greased pan, and put a small piece of salt pork on top of each sausage. Bake in a fairly hot oven until brown (about 45 minutes). Serve with tomato sauce. PLAN TO SAVE WOMAN'S TIME Proper Height of Kitchen Sink and Work Tables Are Important Factors in Cooking. The height of a woman's kitchen sink and work tables are important factors in her well-being and well-doing. She can't do as much or as good work and feel well and strong with her sink and table so low that she has to bend over to work or so high that she has to "reach up," as she would were they the proper height. As a general rule, 32 to 36 inches from the floor is the height for general work tables and the bottom of the sink should usually be 30 to 31 inches from the floor, the home economics kitchen of the United States department of agriculture suggests. However, each woman ought to find out for herself the height of the table at which she can work most easily and efficiently, and see that her work tables and sink are adjusted accordingly. Legs which are too long can be cut off, and those too short can be raised by blocks under them.

QUEER LITTLE YAP Odd Customs on Small Island, Now American. Peculiar Currency System Would Seem to Have Some Disadvantages—Religious Rites Observed by Parties of Fishermen. The island of Yap isn't such a yap place, after all. Returned travelers from the South seas give illuminating details of life on the queer little island which even President Wilson hadn't heard of until the Paris conference decided that America ought to get something out of the war—and generously gave us Yap. If America's would-be czars should adopt the well-known Russian plan of using Yap as a "Siberia"—as suggested the other day by a senator, who got a big laugh for his idea—here are some strongly American customs with a Malayan twist that deported persons would find in operation there; Money as big as cartwheels "not only," but considerably bigger—huge stone dollars from two to twelve feet across! Bachelor's club houses occupied by the entire male population on certain occasions, women being entirely excluded. A social order, consisting of four castes—magicians, impoverished aristocrats, rich men and the populace. A religion that includes a god, Luk, who protects thieves and swindlers. A language that would delight a diplomat or a blushing maiden, having nearly 40 different ways of saying "No." The two great products of Yap are coconuts and typhoons. The typhoons save the natives the trouble of picking the coconuts. It is precisely in that quarter of the Pacific that the worst storms on earth are born, and from July to December the weather would delight Professor Porta. Gold or silver money has no more value in Yap than bolshevik rubles have here. The Yaps have such faith in human nature that they have devised a coin nobody can lift. A small coin is a disk of granite two feet across and six inches thick, with a hole in the middle. A large coin is two fathoms across and two feet thick. Rich people in Yap simply pile their money in the front yard or lean it against the side of the house, which saves them the trouble of showing off by elaborate dress or other indirect methods. It also gives full publicity to all cash transactions. For "chicken feed" they use large pairs of oyster shells and hundred-pound sacks of copra. To "puss the plate" in a Yap church you have to use a moving van. Americans who oppose foreign entanglements may take comfort from the fact that the word "Yap" originally meant "foreigner." The early Yaps were great traders and voyagers around the South seas. In other words, foreigners are Yaps—the same old story. Today the Yaps fish religiously. Before every fishing party the men are obliged to leave their wives and spend four days in the club houses, which are large stone mansions. After the first successful catch, the men come ashore and everybody takes a pull at the fermented juice of the green coconut. This is dubbed a religious rite, and the women have to keep quiet about it or get cussed by the gods—an idea which should interest Americans who are still fond of little fishing parties. When a Yap gentleman wishes to steal he prays to Luk. Luk keeps other people from looking. If the thief gets caught anyhow, he simply decides that Luk must have been too busy to hear his prayer, and hopes for better Luk next time. For the rest of it, Yap is 35 miles long and five broad, surrounded by a coral reef, has hills 1,000 feet high, runs out of water whenever it fails to rain for a week, has five smaller islands near it, grows yams and tropical fruits, but not rice, and contains some 10,000 natives of the Malay race, whose language, curiously enough, shows a basic relation to Sanskrit. And it's ours, every bit of it. Photography From the Air. In faslambia photographic enterprise has taken on a new form. A Tasmanian photographer, determined to outdo his rivals in getting pictures of the most picturesque state in the commonwealth, chartered a recently imported airplane, went aloft, and obtained magnificent views. These were exhibited in his shop window, sold like hot cakes, and amply rewarded him for his enterprise. The cinematograph man will now be upon his mettle and the picture shows, no doubt, will soon be showing their audiences moving scenic pictures of surprising range and beauty. In time pictures taken from the airplane will probably be used to instruct children in geography. The Undefeated Office Boy. "But didn't you get off once before to attend your grandmother's funeral?" "Yes, sir, she came near being buried alive that time, sir."—Sydney Bulletin. "Do you suppose any tax is popular?" "Sure; a tax on luxuries is always popular with people who haven't any." WEST FLANDERS (Copyright, 1920, Western Newspaper Union) There's a wide bare field where ghostly trees Plead for the mercy of Heaven. They lift their broken arms and sigh Against the pitiless, cold, gray sky, But their prayers are hushed in the cloudy seas, And the crows are flying over. In the desolate waste, the shell-pits gap; Their wounded lips bleed poppies. They are rimmed with rusted guns and swords, With bits of cloth and broken boards, And their waters mirror the broad wing-flap Of the crows that are flying over. O'er the battle plain, there's a fierce race Of the death birds seeking booty. Together they rush and dip and dart In the midst of the bleak field's aching heart, There's a lonely cross that marks the place The black crows are swooping over. Belgium Sketches The Voice of the Chimes By Katharine Eggleston Roberts (Copyright, 1920, Western Newspaper Union) In a little town in the plain of Brabanconne, the summer twilight filled the winding streets with shadows. Over the cobblestones, bright-cheeked girls in wooden shoes, blue dresses, and red kerchiefs trundled their two-wheeled carts of flowers. The scented breeze was cool. Here and there lights began to gleam behind the windows of the narrow, peak-roofed houses. The tower of the cathedral rose against the sunset sky like a misty dream and yet a dream immovable. Its sculptured saints smiled on the peaceful land. All was quiet in the happy silence that ends a day well lived. Then with the stealth of fairies the tiny notes played in the air. Softly at first, the magic music descended C The Voice of the Chimes Is Dead. till, swelling like bubbles of light, it burst in a silvery shower. Everywhere green shutters opened to let in the winged notes. Pedestrians paused, then hastened their steps toward the foot of the church, there to receive the sweetest benediction of the chimes. Slowly the music faded, melted into the shadows and the perfume of the night. The million stars, wakening from their daytime sleep, blinked till their eyes were bright, returning the twinkle of the lights within the windows. Now and then they peeked into 10 A man stands in front of a pile of rubble. After a Visit From the Spiked Helmet Men. the houses. They saw a family grouped about the supper table. The father, whose bulging vest made him sit very straight and rather pomposily, gazed with satisfaction at his family about the loaded cloth. The mother, a woman of complacent curves, smiled benignly at her well-scrubbed children and her contented husband. In another part of town, a humbler part, a small square window framed another picture—a brown-walled kitchen where the copper glowed in the rays from a lamp on the red-checked table. The old man and the old woman nodded in their chairs. His stockinged feet were stretched upon a footstool and their wooden shoes rested beside him on the floor. As her fingers loosened from the knitting needles, the half-made sock slid gently from her lap. The stars chuckled and skipped to get out of the way of the new moon who came to watch the last part of the drama in the village. And when she saw a girl, who, wide awake, dreamed of a sweetheart in a neighboring town, the moon of romance took her message to the youth. Then from the cathedral tower, the midnight melody of the carillon put the girl to sleep. But that was long ago before the German guns roared out of the north—strong voices that chanted a fierce harmony of misery and ruin—evil voices that sent a tempest of terror into the calm minds of the people and bade them sob their everlasting farewells. Now in the plain of Brabanconne lies the village, mangled and charred. Its narrow streets find their tortuous way among the crumbling walls and summer twilight lays a gray pall over the broken homes. The flowers that gave their sweetness are faded and the tongues of their venders are dumb. Sadly the stars gaze through the night mist, tear-dimmed eyes that search the blind windows in vain. The people they knew laugh no more, for their dreams, their loves, and their lives are withered. The waning moon seeks the tower and finds but a shattered wreck, voiceless to utter the dirge that stirs deep in its heart. Still some of the stone saints smile, but the twist of their lips is ironic. The bells that had sung through the years, that had blessed the joy of the people, cried their last note in pain as they crashed to the foot of the belfry. And the ruined village is mute; its tragic doom goes unknelled for the voice of the chimes is dead.

I could have saved you the express, and besides you would have been patronizing a home store, which helps pay the taxes and builds up this locality." The farmer looked at the merchant a moment and then said: "Why don't you patronize your home paper and advertise? I read it and didn't know that you had the stuff I have here." MORAL—ADVERTISE --- SIMPLE AND INGENIOUS FROCKS FOR CHILDREN THE SWING Straws in the Spring Winds L MOTHERS owe a rising vote of thanks to the resourceful and ingenious creators of children's clothes this spring. First, because these clothes are so simple and pretty, and next, because they are so well made. Even a fastidious needlewoman can content herself with ready-made clothes for her children. But if the ready-made things are higher-priced than suits her, then she can copy/them at home, buying materials from the merchants near her and gratefully following the lead of skillful and keen designers who spend their time thinking up ways for making children's clothes. One would have to be a born genius to outdo them, and why take the responsibility of designing as well as sewing at home? The little maid in the neighborhood of twelve years and her smaller sister of eight, or thereabout—shown in the picture above—find themselves dressed in perfect taste. Nothing Straws in the No one has been able to figure out just why it is that women take to millinery that anticipates spring—and no one can doubt that they do wear it. With charming audacity a few straw hats courageously make their appearance along with January thaws in the coldest sections of the country and in the South they enter, to remain. It is the tourist's millinery—the resort hats probably—that entice even the stay-at-homes into discarding their midwinter headwear and donning something that has a promise of spring in it. Spring millinery is a survival of the fittest among the many and diverse styles that appear at the winter resorts, with the addition of models in which variations in the use of materials appear. Already the seal of approval is set on the hats that appear in the group pictured above—hats of the simpler sort, having, with one exception, soft outlines. All of them, but the wide-brimmed model, may be placed in the class of street hats and this one is to be included in the list of "pastime hats"—those glorified sport hats of gay and beautiful colors and fine materials. This particular example is made of alternating rows of narrow faille ribbon and a braid, in light green, with a pin-wheel rosette of the ribbon for adornment. It is faced with white tgal and may be worn with sport clothes or other summer apparel. In the dark hat, with feather ornament at the side, there is a splendid example of hair-cloth millinery. The more unusual than chambray was selected for these delightful frocks and both of them employ a pretty, oldtime finish in overlapping points of white cotton, made by folding and sewing down strips of white material. It might be of any of the durable cotton fabrics—lawn, batiste, percale, or Peter Pan cloth—according to the degree of daintiness or durability that the maker may have in mind. The dress for the older girl is a straight-lined model with kimono sleeves, and little signs of needlework embellish it. The narrow belt of black patent leather must not be overlooked. The other dress has a long blouse and a little bow of black ribbon at the throat. Elbow sleeves belong to both, and, judging from their millinery, these two children are considered to be quite dressed up in the simplest of frocks. This idea is borne out by their footwear. Spring Winds band about the crown shows cello phane over white ribbon and the handsome feather ornament seems to have been created for this hat. The soft Breton sailor made of loops of braid and georgette crepe is a lovely hat and undertakes to outshine the plain banded sailor of brilliant straw which is perfectly sure of holding its own. Julia Bottomly Many Wraps Are White. For southern wear many of the wraps being prepared by the specialty shops follow the mode of the old time French cape known as the "visite." This was a quaint, long, narrow affair gathered up about the neck. This model was followed out at one place in white velvet gathered to a band of ermine and lined with pomegranate red crepe de chine. White wraps are, by the way, being exploited much for the Florida resorts. So are the black ones. Both depend for their beauty largely on vivid linings of orange and citron and rose and henna. Belts Little Used. The vogue for belts is decidedly on the wane. A belted effect is given, however, by clever cut, and much ingenuity is exercised in this direction. The KITCHEN CABINET Show me a man who doesn't make mistakes and I will show you a man who doesn't do things.—Theodore Roosevelt. Thus do all things preach the indifference of circumstances.

Man's noblest gift to man is his sincerity, for it embraces his integrity also.—Henry Thoreau. SOMETHING TO EAT. Every housekeeper who plans the meals should have a clear understand- ing of the qualities of fruit and teach these to her children. She should know that fruit is not a luxury but a necessity. The acid fruits are: ties of fruit and teach these to her children. She should know that fruit is not a luxury but a necessity. The acid fruits are: Lemon—Excessive citric acid, antibillious, potash salts, lime and magnesia. Orange—Moderate citric acid, laxative, valuable. Grapefruit—Excessive citric acid, bitter tonic, purifying. Strawberry—Citric and malic acid, antibillious, potash, lime, soda. Cherry—Tonic. Cranberry—Citric acid, iron, tonic. Currant—Citric acid. Gooseberry—Citric acid and malic acid. Blackberry—Iron, constipating. Sub acid fruits. Apple—Malic acid, phosphates, laxative, sugar. Pear—Iron, potash salts, very laxative, sugar. Peach, apricot—Laxative, and sugar. Plum—Very laxative, nitrogen, sugar. Grapes—Tartaric and phosphoric acids, potash salts, iron, excessive sugar. Raisin—Dried grapes, more laxative than fresh grapes. Pineapple—Natural pepsin, sugar. Raspberry, loganberry, huckleberry—Mild, refreshing, moderate sugar. Elderberry — Astringent and medicinal. Starch and Sugar Fruits: Banana — Constipating, excessive starch. Fig—Very laxative, sugar, protein. Date—Excessive sugar, protein. Alligator pear—Oil, starch. Melon—Refreshing, sugar, purifying. Such fruits as water and musk melons contain upward of 95 per cent of water. The flavor is agreeable and in hot weather they are especially refreshing. The value of fruits in season cannot be overestimated. Dried fruits compare with cereals, says Langworthy. Cheerfulness, looking always on the bright side of things, determined to always stand in the sunshine, rather than the shadows, this makes life with his knotty problems, continually easier. It's the "oil of gladness" that helps in doing the work. SEASONABLE FOODS. Thrift has become the slogan, and to practice it we must increase our knowledge in regard to suitable substitutes for costly foods which we have been used to regard as common and cheap. Meat is the great ex- expense in many households. Try using: Baked Calf's Liver.—Wash and carefully remove the tough portions and lard with small strips of salt pork. Dust with salt and pepper and brown in hot pork fat. Cover with one cupful of hot water and put into a hot oven, basting twice during the half-hour's baking. The last basting use one tablespoonful of flour with two tablespoonfuls of thick sour cream; season well and serve. Spiced Sauce for Suet or Bread Pudding.—Mix well two tablespoonfuls of cornstarch and one cupful of sugar; add one pint of boiling water, the juice and rind of a lemon, one tablespoonful of vinegar, two tablespoonfuls of butter and one teaspoonful of mixed spices. Cook well before adding the butter, lemon and vinegar. Squash Muffins.—Mix together three cupfuls of flour, two tablespoonfuls of sugar, four teaspoonfuls of baking powder; add one cupful of dry sifted squash with half a cupful of milk, one egg and another half cupful of milk. Add two tablespoonfuls of finely-chopped suet, melted. Beat thoroughly and bake in well greased muffin pans in a hot oven 25 minutes. Peach Bird's Nest Pudding.—Put a layer of canned peaches in a well-buttered plate pie and pour over them a one-egg cake mixture. Bake in a hot oven until the cake is done. Remove the cake from the oven and turn upside down on a hot plate. Sprinkle with sugar, dot with butter and finish with a grating of nutmeg or cinnamon. Serve hot. Ham a la Italienne.—Take a two-pound slice of ham cut one inch in thickness. Place in a frying pan and over it slice four small onions, cover with a pint of tomato and a generous sprinkling of salt and pepper with half a cupful of water. Cover and bake an hour or longer in a moderate oven. Remove the ham to a hot platter and thicken the tomato and fist in the pan with a tablespoonful of flour mixed with a little water. Be resolutely and faithfully what you are, be humbly what you aspire to be. Man's noblest gift to man is his sincerity, for it embraces his integrity also.—Henry Thoreau. SOMETHING TO EAT. For those who like the old-fashioned buttermilk soup, the following will appeal: Mulled Buttermilk.—Take five cupfuls of buttermilk. Stir one tablespoonful of flour with a little of the milk. add to the but- Mulled Buttermilk.—Take five cupfuls of buttermilk. Stir one tablespoonful of flour with a little of the milk. add to the buttermilk and cook until boiling hot. Add sugar, cinnamon or nutmeg to season. Caraway Bread.—Pour two cupfuls of scalded milk on two tablespoonfuls of sugar, one teaspoonful of salt, add two tablespoonfuls of shortening; when lukewarm add one yeast; cake dissolved in half a cupful of salt water, then add six cupfuls of rye flour, two tablespoonfuls of caraway seed. Knead, using one and one-half cupfuls of whole wheat flour. Rise and shape in loaves. Brown Nut Bread.—Take two cupfuls of buttermilk, two cupfuls of graham flour, one cupful of wheat flour, one-half cupful of molasses, one table-spoonful of sugar, one teaspoonful of soda, one-half teaspoonful of salt, one cupful of raisins, one and one-half cupfuls of walnut meats. Mix and bake in a moderate oven. Kidney Beans With Sour Cream.—Cook the beans as usual. Then add the cream to moisten thoroughly. Place over a slow fire and simmer one hour. Add salt and pepper to taste. Sauce for Fish.—Sour cream, using half as much of sour cream as grated horseradish; add sugar, salt and a dash of pepper. Serve with fish or boiled beef. Ham Timbals.—Dissolve a tablespoonful of gelatin in half a cupful of hot water, add two cupfuls of cold boiled ham, chopped. Season with mustard, cayenne, then add one-half cupful of heavy cream, beaten stiff. Turn into a mold, chill, and when molded serve with Lucullus Sauce.—Beat one-nalf cupful of heavy cream until stiff, add three tablespoonfuls of mayonnaise dressing, two tablespoonfuls of grated horseradish, two tablespoonfuls of vinegar, one teaspoonful of made mustard, one-half teaspoonful of salt and a dash of cayenne. There is no friend like an old friend, Who has shared our morning days, No greeting like his welcome, No homage like his praise. —Ollver W. Holmes. THE UNEXPECTED GUEST. We frequently read of the capable and systematic housewife who, having an unexpected group of friends drop in, goes to her ice chest or pantry and greets a cold bowl, a bunch of celery, a jar of mayonnaise, which she group of friends drop in, goes to her ice chest or pantry and greets a cold towl, a bunch of celery, a jar of mayonnaise, which she quickly prepares into a most detectable salad. With rolls, cake, coffee and preserves she sets before her guests a most dainty luncheon. This reads well, but the simple fact is this preaching isn't sanctioned by practice, for most women in such an emergency do not meet a cold cooked fowl face to face, but a bare cupboard and the necessity of beginning with the flour barrel, rather than a well-stocked larder, to prepare a meal. Anybody, efficient or otherwise, with a well-stocked pantry might prepare an acceptable meal, but the woman who finds a dish of cold potatoes, flanked by a tough and world-weary steak, and still looks out on life cheerfully, is both an optimist and a genius. To fortify this optimism an emergency shelf is indispensable. Even where the corner grocery is near or the telephone at hand one cannot always provide for an emergency. Each housekeeper will stock her shelf with the foods, accessories and relishes especially adapted to her needs. A few cans of fish such as salmon, tuna, sardines and lobster, which may be served hot, cold or in salads or in combination with vegetables as a main dish, cans of corn, beans, peas, cans of soup, olives, plickles, a jar of salad dressing, a bottle of nutmegs, with jellies inams and a package or two of crackers and a jar of cheese. When any food is used it is replaced at the earliest opportunity, so that the supply will always be full for the chance guest. Two or three kinds of cookies stored in air-tight jars will keep for a long time. A few cookies with a dish of fruit, a cup of tea or coffee is a dessert which is sufficiently satisfying for the most exacting. The fortunate ones who live in the country and have plenty of milk, cream, butter and eggs, find it easy to prepare delicious dishes in short order. Nellie Maxwell WESTERN BEEF CO.

(By Clarence J, Toliver. | DHE population of the territory of| | Wyoming in the yeur 1884 was 20,780. | “The population of Cheyenne was a) Hin the year ISS there were less than 200 colored people in the territory, and Hless than 100 in the city of cee. | In thes pring of 1880 a tittle band of Christians settled in the city, ‘The lead-| ing members of the band were David Jones and Nuney Jones, Malcolm Mate tison and his wife Mary, Mrs, Perry Doane and Mrs, Mary Blue, all from | Atchison, Kansas, | ‘These people worked at various o¢- | cupations, bought thelr homes and took | Juctive part in the eivie affairs of the city, ‘They met at each other's homes and sang songs and gave thanks (0 God, In 1888 they rented a large room from Mr, and Mrs, Jeff ‘Thompson, and at that home on Sixteenth near Thomes street they met regularly for prayer meeting and service Sundays. ‘This was the spirit of the colored pioneers, In 1884 these good people er- ganized the Second Baptist Chureh and called Rey, Straughter from Atchison, Kansas, who was their pastor of a’ sea~ son. In 1884 they bought a lot on Thomes street, near Twentieth street, and butt a chureh which stands as a monument to these pioneers. William McGuinnis and Chas, Rus- sell, two eminent and progressive Free Masons, raised and donated the money |to buy the tot, MeGuinnis and Rus- sell were officers of Western Star Lodge No, 6, which had been organized in 1879 and it is complimentary to this lodge to know that their past officers | were the first to take part in uplifting the moral standard of this community. ‘The Second Baptist Church has had hard struggles as all will have in the fight for better moral conditions and haye come out more than conquerors. Rey, C. O, Smith was called to pastor this church in 1918, the reverend had been a missionary in Kansas for thirty years, He is a veteran of the Civil war, an earnest Christian gentleman. Rey. Smith has succeeded in increas- ing the membership and congregation. Improvements on chureh will soon be made on account of increased ehureh | attendance, ‘The officers of the Second Baptist Chureh are: Deacons —Fronk — MeCombs and Charles Horn, clerk, | Helpful ehureh workers are: Mrs. Peggy Anderson, her daughter, Mrs. Lizze Christian; Mrs, Anna Dickerson, and Ida Anderson. | The early pioneers and founders of | the Second Buptist Church have long eines passed away. sees THE WONDERFUL PART OF HAIR i ; are | ee | GROWING | it eae oe Se es) 4 Complete Course by Mail ; “a or Personal Instruction. b 7? bi ——— , nN The Peerless Walker Sys-_ tem, Ready MONEY and the pores me Oe _| Doorway to Prosperity.
