AMERICAN LEGION RECOGNIZES COLORED VETERANS
VOL. XXVII.
Cleveland, Ohio.—The American Legion National Convention, which recently adjourned in this city, was forced to declare itself in favor of the Negro soldier being given the right in every state to organize posts as provided in the national constitution of the legion. The matter did not come up on the floor of the convention, but was settled in the committee hearings. The issue was brought up by Attorney Robert Owens of St. Louis, who was given ten minutes to present arguments in favor of his comrades in the southern states. The representatives from Louisiana, Mississippi and South Carolina took exception to their states being singled out for criticism and stated that their recent state convention had decided that the colored soldiers would be admitted under the same conditions that governed the white soldiers.
Eleven Negroes were delegates to the convention, representing Missouri, Pennsylvania, New York, Illinois, Washington, D. C., and New Jersey. They were treated with the same respect by the local posts as accorded other delegates. The most of them stopped at the Hollden Hotel, but Colonel Denison, of Chicago, was assigned a room at the Statler. The Missouri delegation had selected the Statler as the headquarters, but refused to back Attorney Owens in his demands that he be given a room there. The hotel management claimed that they had no rooms left.
In discussing the Japanese question, the California representatives referred to "unassimilable people" and pleaded for support from the different states, pledged to aid them in excluding the Japanese. South Carolina quickly came to the aid of the California delegation, which was asking for immediate action on the matter, and one of the delegates said his sympathies went to the Pacific coast states, because the south faced the same problem with the Negro. Attorney Owens, under a question of personal privilege, challenged the statements made derogatory to the colored people, and the Californian answered him by saying that if their remarks were susceptible of any interpretation that reflected on the Negroes, apologies were forthcoming. A hot-headed delegate from South Carolina in an intemperate speech said that if the legion desired him to apologize to any colored man for his narrow views, that he should no longer be considered a member of the legion. This provoked laughter. The discussion had come up at the time of the election of officers and on a point of order the chair directed that the election proceed.
Kansas City was selected as the next meeting place. Many of the southern delegation claimed Missouri had failed them at every critical moment, especially when the Missouri delegation failed to support in whole the opposition to the bonus measure. This measure was opposed by the southern delegation because they claimed too much money would go to the Negro ex-soldiers.
HAITIAN INVASION CALLED
(By Moorfield Storey, ex-President of (American Bar Association.) Moorfield Storey of Boston, expresident of the American Bar Association and president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, today authorized the following statement on Haiti, which was given out at the office of the Advancement Association, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York. "General Lejeune's report on the conduct of United States Marine in Haiti only emphasizes the fact that there has been no specific denial of the serious charges made against the American occupation of that island.
"The charges, made by Mr. James Weldon Johnson, acting secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and by Mr. Herbert J. Seligmann, were to the effect that some 3,000 Haitians had been killed by marines; that men and women had been tortured; that undue pressure had been exerted upon the President of Haiti and other officers, in behalf of an American banking institution; and that a rigid censorship was excluding the facts about the Haitian situation from the United States.
"In answer to these specific charges it is hardly sufficient to assert that some Haitians are grateful for what has been done and that the American adventure in Haiti has been beneficent.
"Our whole intervention in Haiti is in violation of the principles we profess and of our Constitution, and whatever the Haitians have done has been obtained by force. We have made war on Haiti without authority from Congress."
THE QUESTION OF "MANDATES."
By Jonathan Cover.
In view of the efforts of "Master Minds" to dictate and control the attitude, affinities and destinies of peoples and nations, the thoughtful citizen whether white or black, has doubledly asked himself many times, "What is the world coming to, and whither are we drifting."
The answer has been satisfactory or discouraging; optimistic or the reverse, according to the education, temperament or environment of the individual.
It should be remembered, however, that on account of the peculiar status of the group of ten million Americans known as Negroes, a status that is most cruelly and unjustly imposed, the viewpoint is very likely one-sided and personal, rather than general and all-inclusive.
Accustomed as he is to the jarring antagonisms engendered through the bitterness of tradition; the studied defense and promotion of racial prejudice and fast shut up in the lion's jaw of caste proscription, it is but natural that this should be so.
He has been seeking the best way out for more than a half-century, and much as a trapped and winged-tired bird, has repeatedly dashed himself with the same result against the un-

The greater world at large with its multitude of conflicting interests; the wearing away of imperial authority and privilege; the untiring struggle of laboring men for greater leisure and an increasing share in the products of their toll; the bitter and aggressive rivalries of nations in commerce and diplomacy, found expression in the greatest war of the ages.

GARAGE ROW LET
COLONY OF
Dr. Julius Schlein of
Neighbors Frob Buil
Courtyard, Offers
to Ne
Dr. Julius Schlein of 382 Union street, Brooklyn, was prevented recently from constructing a driveway through his courtyard to connect a garage that had been built into the basement with the roadway in front of the house. Court actions and word wars figured in the interference by other property owners along the block, the argument being that it was one of the most exclusive in the neighborhood and that located on it were the homes of some of Brooklyn's leading physicians and surgeons. With sentiment against him, Dr. Schlein has attacked the matter from a new angle. He has advertised his home for sale to Negroes. The advertisement appeared Friday in Brooklyn newspapers, and already there have been prospective purchasers on the ground to look over the Schlein home. The physician intends to move to a house at Clinton and President streets a few blocks away.
As a result of the threatened invasion of the block by Negroes, other property owners there, including almost a dozen physicians, made known yesterday the reasons why they objected to Dr. Schlein's private roadway and basement garage. They explained that so far back as 1851 the legislature ruled that the old Bergen estate on which the property is located should be cut up so the city should own permanently all the ground included in the front courtyards. They based their fight against the automobile driveway upon this act and were successful in preventing the physician from making use of the garage. Dr. Schlein, however, declared his neighbors were trying to get rid of him. Dr. Sylvester J. McNamara of 369 Union street said yesterday that no one on the block cared where Dr. Schlein lived.
"We are concerned only with preserving law and order and preventing trespass upon restricted city property," he said. "Every step we have taken has been legal and without personal malice. If. Dr. Schlein may regrade his courtyard and build a runway on it, there is no reason why other owners in this section may not dig down and build up anything they wish. It is to preserve the courtyards and the appearance of the street as
hood, which, entering the soul of the submerged millions of the world, have made self-determination a principle for which it is sweet to die and without which it is vain to live.
It is therefore increasingly evident that however much the self-appointed custodians of world affairs feel themselves designated to lead the way into some imaginary Canaan, the people themselves have made it plain and will make it still plainer one of these days not far distant, that they have not relinquished control of their mind and conscience and that they bluntly refuse to grant a mandate to any one, except to our Lord and Saviour, whose rightful supremacy none will question.

originally planned that we are fighting."
When asked about the advertisement for Negro buyers which Dr. Schlein has caused to be published, Dr. McNumara said:
"To the persons imbued with the proper human qualities the color of one's skin is of secondary considera-
Dr. John J. O'Reilly, whose home at 405 Union street is directly across the street from that of Dr. Schlein, said that as for the prospective entry of the Negro buyers he would rather have law abiding Negroes on the block than persons who have contempt for the law.
Among the other physicians on the block are Walter Slevin, Louis Dusseldorf, Walter Pierson, W. J. Campbell and Wilfrid Egan—New York Herald.
CHAIRMAN REPUBLICAN STATE COMMITTEE DETERMINED TO LINE UP LARGE MAJORITY VOTE IN COLORADO FOR NATIONAL AND STATE CANDIDATES.
Chairman Rush L. Holland of the Republican State Central Committee, is determined to unite his forces for a sweeping Republican victory on Tuesday, November 2nd. An attorney-at-law by profession, Mr. Holland goes minutely into the things that make for success in his party, as he does in looking after the interests of a client. Colorado Springs is proud of him and so are we of Denver. Knowing his qualifications for leadership. That Chairman Holland has demonstrated his ability to lead our committee goes without saying, as not only was he endorsed and elected for a second term of office, but the hearty support given him by the members of the party is meritorious of his courtesy, genial disposition and ever-ready-to-serve action, which can be certified by Republicans throughout the state.
A better man for the position could not be found, is the opinion of The Colorado Statesman, and the same can be said of his secretary and general staff, who are strict in their attention to the business of the committee and loyal to the Republican party that will restore this nation to peace, prosperity and plenty.
We wish a great success to attend his efforts.

RACENEWS Gathered From Various Sources
Raleigh, N. C., Oct. 4.—Here is a story told by Charles Evans to the police:
"I and my wife were lying in bed. A yellow Negro entered, attacked me, knocking me unconscious, and stole a sum of money variously estimated at from $75 to $150. While I was unconscious, he attempted to assault my wife, and in the struggle stabbed her three times with a knife. When I recovered both of them had gone."
Such a report to local police was enough to start rumors of a posse, and a lynching to the guilty man when apprehended. It is the kind of occurrence that usually precedes mob violence in this section.
Meantime the wife had been carried to the Rex hospital suffering with severe gashes in her head and body, from which blood flowed profusely. Her clothing was disarranged. This is her story:
"My husband and I were lying on the bed in our room. We had quarreled on account of his idleness and heavy drinking when out of work. Without warning he reached for a dirk, stabbed me in the head and in the neck and a third time in the back. I rushed out of the house and called for help."
The dirk penetrated the woman's lung and she may die. Evans, evidently, attempted to commit suicide, but at the last moment lacked the nerve. The bullet entered his left shoulder.
Wilmington, Del., Oct. 8.—Mrs. Alice Dunbar Nelson, widow of the late Paul Laurence Dunbar, famous colored poet, was unceremoniously discharged from her position as teacher in the public schools of this city by the Democratic board for having attended the social justice pilgrimage to Marion Ohio, October 1. Mrs. Nelson, who was among the colored delegation from the East that went to Harding's home, joining the thousands of other women assembling there for the purpose of social welfare, had been warned by her principal that if she attended this meeting she would be dismissed.
When she returned and presented herself at the school to take up her duties, she was informed that her services were no longer needed. She appealed to Dr. Conwell Banton, member of the board, and was informed that the action of the principal would be sustained by the board.
OFFER $500 FOR CONVICTION
OF FLORIDA LYNCHERS
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, today announced the offer of a $500 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of any person or persons guilty of lynching four Negroes at MacClenny, Florida, yesterday. A statement signed by James Weldon Johnson, Acting Secretary of the Association, says:
"The National Association for the advancement of Colored People, pursuant to its policy of fighting mob violence offers a reward of $500 payable upon conviction of any one of the lynchers at MacClenny, Florida, to the person giving the information leading to the arrest.
"This latest atrocity in Florida adds weight to the evidence which this Association has placed before Congress in favor of a federal law against lynching."
VIRGINIA NEGRO BOYS RAISE
GOOD FARM CROPS.
Hampton, Va.—Members of the Virginia Negro Farm Makers' Clubs, who have been working under the supervision of colored county agents, will have on display at the State Fair about 1,000 exhibits in a special building, 40 by 28 feet. Last year only one corner of a building was occupied by similar exhibits.
Corn has been most successfully and profitably grown by colored boys, ranging from 10 to 17 years of age. Some twenty-five Virginia counties will be represented.
There will also be exhibits of colored boys' work in growing soy beans, potatoes and peanuts. Photographs will illustrate the wide range of club work among colored boys.
The story of Joe Williams of Emporia, Va., who produced $70\frac{1}{4}$ bushels of corn on a single acre, shows the growing interest of colored boys in modern scientific farming. The work among colored boys is conducted as a part of the regular Virginia club work

for boys.
Joe Williams, a colored boy at 13 years of age, living in Greensville county, learned how to secure a large yield of corn from a well-made seedbed, into which he had put carefully selected seed and on which he had expended careful cultivation.
During two years Joe Williams was the champion of the local colored Farm Makers' Club.
500 NEGROES ARE HOMELESS BY FIRE IN PINE BLUFF.
Pine Bluff, Ark., Oct. 12—Nearly 500 Negroes were homeless tonight as a result of a fire this afternoon which swept over eight blocks of a Negro residence district and for a time threatened the business district less than a mile away. Only the dying out of a brisk southeast wind and entrenchment tactics employed by firemen checked the flames. Nearly 100 homes were destroyed and the total loss was estimated at from $200,000 to $300,000. So far as could be learned there were no casualties. The fire was declared to be under control at 4:30 p. m. Only a few scattered houses in an area of more than eight blocks were standing.
NEGRO RIOTER MUST STAY
IN KANSAS OR FACE TRIAL
Topeka, Kan., Oct. 12—Robert Hill, a Negro wanted in Arkansas on a charge of inciting to riot in Elaine, Ark., a year ago, but who has been in Kansas since last spring, is a free man as long as he remains in Kansas. This decision was rendered yesterday by Federal Judge Pollock at Leavenworth, Hill's counsel announced today. According to federal officials, Hill's status is now that of a free man. No further proceedings are pending against him, they said.

Conviction of Frank Moore and five other negroes who have been sentenced to death for participation in a race plot in Phillips county, Ark, last October, will stand as a result of the refusal of the Supreme Court to review their cases.
The Supreme Court refused to reconsider its decision of last June 7, sustaining the validity of the prohibition amendment and provisions of the enforcement act.

America's tax bill for the fiscal year ending June 30 amounted to $5,408,075,468, approximately $1,500,000,000 more than was paid into the federal treasury in the previous twelve months. The figures were contained in the preliminary report of the commissioner of internal revenue, made public. It shows that from income and profits taxes the government received approximately three-fourths of all its revenue. In these two items there was an increase of $1,356,000,000 over the fiscal year of 1919, receipts for the two years being: 1920, $3,957,701,000; 1919, $2,600,000,000.

District Judge G. H. Bradfield of Boulder has set Oct. 23 as the date for the hearing of the motion for a change of venue in the murder trial of Rienzi Dickens, who is now at the home of his mother in Longmont. Attorneys for Dickens claim that prejudice is so strong against their client in Northern Colorado that it would be impossible for him to get a fair trial in Boulder, Larimer or Weld counties. Affidavits supporting this claim were filed in the District Court two months ago. Later District Attorney Fleming filed counter affidavits denying that this was true.
The average size of farms in Colorado this year, as reported by county assessors, is 285.7 acres, compared with 280.8 acres last year. The average size of farms as reported by the census bureau in 1910 was 293.1 acres. It is possible that the average size of farms as reported by the census bureau this year will be considerably greater than that reported to the Immigration Department, since assessors report only farms on which land is actually being cultivated, while the census bureau receives reports on a considerable number of very large farms used only for grazing purposes. These pasture farms will increase the average size of all farms considerably over that reported by county assessors.
The celebration of the opening of the Poudre canon road as far up as to the Rustic, which is to be given Oct. 12, Columbus Day, will be an elaborate affair, and plans are rapidly taking shape for the occasion.
Complete reports made by county assessors to the State Immigration Department show 3,427 farm tractors owned and operated by the farmers of Colorado, an increase of 1,180 over the number reported by assessors last year. Every county in the state but six reports farm tractors in operation, and every county but three, Adams, Arapahoe and Washington, reports a larger number than was reported last year. Some idea of the rapid increase in this class of farm equipment may be gathered from the reports made by a few counties this year and last year. Logan county reported 225 farm tractors last year and 369 this year; Phills county, 146 last year and 244 this year; Elbert county, 71 last year and 131 this year; Prowers county, 27 last year and 81 this year; Weld county, 365 last year and 504 this year. Weld county ranks first in number of farm tractors and Logan county second.
Alfred M. Pettingill, Rio Grande fireman, was killed under an engine at Texas Creek. The engine on which Pettingill was firing was "doubleheading" with another. He said to the engineer he was going to the station for a moment and got down from his engine. The other engine uncoupled and moved down the track a short distance. When Pettingill failed to show up, his engineer investigated and found Pettingill badly mangled under the engine. How he got there no one knows. He died on the way to the Salida hospital.

CENTENNIAL STATE ITEMS.
Final tabulations of returns of county assessors on agricultural statistics, made by the State Immigration Department, show a total of 5,009,991 acres in cultivation in the state this year, including wild hay, compared with 4,820,946 acres reported by county assessors last year. Since present indications are that the reports of county assessors are about ten per cent incomplete, the total area in cultivation in the state this year is above 5,500,000 acres, not including orchards. These reports include 49,117 farms on which land was actually cultivated this year. The Census Bureau found 46,170 farms in the state in 1910, and the area reported to the bureau as under cultivation in 1909 was 2,233,145 acres. According to these figures, there has been an increase of 144 per cent in the cultivated area in the past 11 years. Since the reports made to the Census Bureau were perhaps not absolutely complete, the actual increase in cultivated area was no doubt somewhat short of the figure given above, but it was considerably more than double that of 1909.
COLORADO STATESMAN
The Mouth-Piece of the People of Colorado and the Entire West
Reports made to the State Immigratino Department by county assessors indicate that there has been an increase in the percentage of Colorado farms operated by tenants since 1910. According to these reports 24 per cent of the farms reported this year are operated by tenants, compared with 18.2 per cent reported to the census bureau in 1910. About 1.5 per cent of the farms reported this year did not show the character of the tenure of the farm operative, while the remaining farms were operated by owners or by homesteaders who have not yet proved up. Homesteaders of this class were treated as owners by the census bureau in 1910. Of the farm acreage reported by assessors this year approximately 20 per cent is being farmed by renters and 72 per cent by owners and homesteaders, while about 5 per cent is operated by owners who rent some land in addition to their own farms.

Mr. John T. Floyd paid his pledge of $5.00 to the Civic League fund for Laramie County Memorial Hospital. "The Election Comes," by Ernest R. McKinney in October Crisis, was the subject for discussion by the Civic Association on Thursday evening, Oct. 7th. Follows parts of two paragraphs of Mr. McKinney's paper, which was discussed at length: "Our new political leaders must be different from most of those we have at present. The majority now cannot be trusted. They jump at the white man's word of command and smile at the rustle of his greenbacks." The young colored men must rise in their might and do away with our present venerable leaders and substitute a new type in their places. "The leaders of the coming regime must be sacrificing, sincere and courageous. They must not have a price. We must check them up and repudiate them mercilessly when they jeopardize our political safety."
Rev. J. M. Endicott led the discussion on Mr. McKinney's paper and proved by comparison why we should stand by the Republican party. Rev. C. O. Smith, Rev. Stacker, Mr. H. C. Jefferson and Mrs. Tolliver spoke along the same lines as Rev. Endicott. The consensus of opinion was that there were few money-thirsty preacher-politicians and that the race leaders in the Republican ranks should stand with clean hands and ready voice to purge the party of those who jeopardize our political safety.
The Silver Bow Social entertained at a social at the residence of Mrs. George Ballinger on Wednesday evening, Oct. 6th. Many of our people attended and report an excellent time.
Mrs. J. M. Endicott has returned from an extended visit in Colorado. Mr. Richard Henderson has been laid up with an injured limb.

More than 200 teachers and students responded to the call of Prof. B. F. Hubert, director of the Agricultural Department, for volunteers to enter a "Pea Picking Contest." The first prize was awarded to David Rose of the senior class. More than sixty bushels of peas were gathered by the contestants.
Elaborate preparations are being made for the annual Tuskegee Institute Chrysanthemum Show which will be held about the second week in November. This event was established by Dr. Washington in order to arouse the interest of the colored people in the vicinity in beautifying their front yards. Prizes will be awarded as usual and an excellent floral exhibition is expected.
A very busy week was brought to a close Saturday evening, Oct. 9, with a concert by Madame Christine Langenhan, Dramatic Soprano, given in the Institute Chapel. Madame Langenhan sang in English, French and Russian, and the numbers were very enthusiastically received.
A very interesting meeting of the Tuskegee Institute Educational Association was held recently.

TO OUR VOTERS.
THE primary election and completion of registration having passed, the two parties—Republican and Democratic—have started this week to push their campaign in the most vigorous fashion. Voters are urged to exercise a particular interest in this election, as from the activity of the respective parties and the unprecedented aggregate registration, there should be no reason why the Republican party should not be the recipient of the majority of votes for the various positions on Tuesday, November 2.
Here's an opportunity to show how and what we have gained from the present administration by returning the whole Republican ticket that is offered for election, demonstrating that as far as we are concerned, another chance will never be afforded the Democrats to give such a glaring proof of their segregation policy, which is more than absurd, and reflecting on a nation which boasts of its liberty and freedom among its citizens.
In the forthcoming election we are empowered to return representatives for the state and federal offices, and the time has come when the scales must be removed from our eyes; when conscience must awaken; when we must have a true realization of the conditions that confront us, and the circumstances that surround us must dissolve before the sunrise of true Americanism and patriotic display of her children.
In the future issues of this paper full instructions will be given regarding the headless ballot system and the court ruling on the question of alien voting, and our endeavor to put the matter plainly before our subscribers and the public will be rewarded, we hope, with the return of our candidates by a large majority. Let us prove, therefore, by our votes that the spirit of true Republicanism is still alive within us.
Announcements of candidates' platforms, principles and pledges for the campaign will be found in succeeding issues, and everyone should have a particular interest in attending the meetings which will be held during the time previous to election. We have always given through our columns the best advices that will support our cause and keep intact the establishment of good government, and so it is our earnest desire to once more prove the intelligence of our people in exercising the franchise to their best advantage.
WHAT ABOUT HAITI, MR. WILSON?
PRESIDENT WILSON in his passionate plea for the League of Nations insists upon Article Ten because it is the very heart of the Covenant and the security of small nations. At the same time he has actually robbed Haiti of her sovereignty, independence and freedom and forcibly imposed upon that country a constitution written by one of his office-holders, who is now the candidate for vice president upon the Democratic ticket, and who admitted in a moment of bragadocia that he wrote the constitution of Haiti and made her swallow it.
Now, we ask Mr. Wilson how he can possibly square his humane plea for the League of Nations with his inhumane and brutal treatment of the little Republic of Haiti? When we read the indisputable atrocities committed by this present Democratic administration against the small nation of Haiti, in order to compel Haiti to submit to a bastard constitution, we are forced to believe that President Wilson is attempting to put over a colossal fraud upon the United States in urging the adoption of the League of Nations. Mr. James Weldon Johnson went to Haiti as the representative of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and, after a complete and thorough investigation of the inhumane activities of the American officers and marines stationed in Haiti, returned to this country and started a fire under the administration which has kept Secretary of State Colby, Candidate Roosevelt and Secretary Josephus Daniels exceedingly busy trying to put out the fire. Yet with all of their excuses and explanations, they have not been able to disprove one single charge made by Mr. Johnson.
Compare the mean, low, discreditable actions of the administration against Haiti, without excuse or provocation, with the cowardly actions of the same administration toward Mexico for the kidnapping, murder and rape of American citizens and it is enough to inflame the heart of the nation with rage and disgust. Cowardly, vascillating, waiting and watchful policy on one hand and a murderous, bullying policy on the other hand. Haiti was weak, defenseless, unarmed; Mexico was strong, armed and defiant, and the big bully simply growled and prowled alongside the frontier fence. The president at the White House telephoned to Huerta to salute the United States flag within twenty-four hours as an apology for a serious insult to our government, or else—and Huerta indignantly hung up the receiver and the incident was overlooked. But poor, weak, defenseless Haiti, how different! Simply because she refused to hand over to Mr. Wilson her sovereignty, she was invaded and her ports seized and many of her citizens murdered because they resisted the highway robbery.
Mr. Johnson has fully and completely shown that this Democratic administration fostered and encouraged revolution after revolution in Haiti in order to put over a satisfactory protocol to Mr. Wilson. It was purely and simply an outrageous attempt to destroy and enslave a weak nation. That President Wilson is afflicted as he is, we do not wonder. For we are told in Holy Writ "that whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap."

REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR JUDGE OF SUPREME COURT.
Nominated by a large majority at the recent primary election for judge of the Supreme Court, it appears that Judge Greeley W. Whitford is peculiarly fitted for this position by his judicial record. In his profession he is regarded as one of the ablest jurists in the state and his opinions rendered on some of the most important questions of law have always stood the test. As a man of character, unbiased by any party politics or otherwise, he stands for the best interpretation of the laws and the best possible government for the people, and for this reason The Colorado Statesman here makes another appeal to all the voters of our race to stand strongly for a man who is fearless in the dispensation of the law, giving right and justice to the people irrespective of class, creed or color. Be sure and place an X opposite his name, indicating a vote for him, as public opinion and sentiment hold there could be no better selection made for this exalted position. Election Tuesday, Nov. 2.
COL. ROSCOE CONKLING SIMMONS GREATEST RACE ORATOR COMING TO DENVER
COL. ROSCOE CONKLING SIMMONS GREATEST RACE ORATOR COMING TO DENVER
```markdown
```
The most noted orator of the race, Colonel Roscoe Conkling Simmons, has announced his intentions of coming to Denver to make an address. The announcement comes from the Colonel himself and is the first time he has ever promised or consented to speak in Denver, although some time last year he was booked to speak here under the auspices of the N. A. A. C. P., but it turned out that the parties who dealt with the N. A. A. C. P. were irresponsible and caused Colonel Simmons great embarrassment by representing that he would fill an engagement here up to the last moment.
It was neither the fault of the N. A. A. C. P. or of Colonel Simmons and this has long since been decisively proven. However, this time the statement is made that the noted speaker is billed under his own management and independent of any organization or society. He comes to speak to all of the people in his own invincible way and free to say of Roscoe Conkling Simmons.
There is no more picturesque figure on the American platform today than this gifted orator of the race. He has spoken to many thousands of every race from ocean to ocean and from the gulf to the lakes. He has spoken to the people of Europe and one of his most notable addresses was that delivered by him to representatives of the Peace Council at Versailles at the close of the world war, where he was sent to represent his people by several of the large newspapers of the country.
Known as "Our Roscoe."
In Mississippi or in New York, Texas or Massachusetts, in Chicago or Memphis, Colonel Simmons is known as "Our Roscoe" and he is one of the few men of the race who can carry the same message to both white and colored allike all over the globe. The "Great Roscoe," as he is sometimes called, has the same remarkable brilliance, eloquence, wit, humor, but withal pointed advice, wisdom and thought for all peoples and races, north, east, south or west.
Newspapers all over the country quote Colonel Simmons as the great publicist, essayist and spokesman of the Negro race and he is at present recognized as the most gifted orator the race has produced since the lamented Fred Douglass. His sayings and teachings are becoming recognized more and more as the set standard for the present generation of every race to live and act by, and especially does he aim to hold up at all times every right and just principle which the race is fighting for.
One of Colonel Simmons' recent utterances on the citizenship of the Negro has met with great favor throughout the entire country and is characteristic of his many wise and pertinent sayings. It is as follows: "My boast is that we are Americans; that other races came here; that we were born here and that, therefore, we are at home."

He was a member of the lower house during the last session, and has a clean record, and is entitled to a re-election.

Readers of the Colorado Republican newspapers cannot help from praising the healthy and impressive articles of Morris Emmerson, publicity campaign manager, as the dignity and cleanliness characteristic of the candidates nominated for national and state offices are reflected in the manner these publications are given out and the quality that attaches to them. Mr. Emmerson is accredited with being always on the job and his courtesy to everyone is unsurpassed. Even opposing candidates and their supporters conclude that he never indulges in any of the mud-slinging and dishonorable tactics engaged in by other publicity managers. We wish to him continued success and a great Republican victory for his unceasing and manly efforts.
LEWIS & SON AGAIN TO THE FRONT.
With the great benefit sale at the popular dry goods store of Lewis & Son comes the fact of the influence that a sound publicity agent and his assistant can bring to bear upon the critical mind of the purchaser, and giving credit to whom credit is due, we cannot but commend the efforts of Mr. Ramsey and his highly valuable assistant Mrs. H. B. Bell for the part they play in attracting the attention of the public as well as winning the admiration of patrons for their timely advertisements of the season's goods at prices to beat the H. C. L. This quality advertising is commended both by proprietors and the great army of Lewis & Son's patrons.
THE DENVER COLORED CIVIC ASSOCIATION.
A most interesting and enthusiastic meeting of the Denver Colored Civic Association marked the opening meeting of the fall season beginning the work of the Denver Colored Civic Association. Many of the committees were represented and the chairmen made reports of the progress of their work. A very large attendance was present and an inspiring and encouraging address was given by Mr. Q. Record, secretary of the membership committee of the Denver Civic and Commercial Association.
Several new members were added to the rolls and much business of importance was transacted.
This year promises to be the most progressive year of the association both in work actually accomplished and increase in staunch membership.
A luncheon will be held at one of our popular colored restaurants in this month at which all the chairmen of the committees will be present to discuss plans and lay out the work for the organization for the ensuing year. Any member desiring to attend this luncheon can do so by notifying at once the secretary, Mr. W. R. Chapman.

There are great and lively times around hite old Y. M. C. A. building these days—something doing all the time. A fine and lively bunch of fellows can be seen every day after school hours, and the fun keeps up until closing time. Now that the boys have someone who can give full time to their needs, fellows who have not seen around the building for several months are now frequent visitors. As in the days of old, the building has become altogether too small, and as much of the sport as can be carried on out of doors is taken there. Last Saturday 126 boys reported for the different privileges.
A novel feature during the week was the playing of baseball between different groups. The first match was between the high school boys and the boys of the grades. The score was: Highs, 13; Grades, 12. The next day a fierce game was played between the "Y" Juniors and a contingent of the famous White Elephants. The game was hotly contested and resulted:

That's Fair,
Isn't It?
CAPE STILL WORN
Large, Loose Outer Garment Retains Its Popularity.
Nearly Every Woman Possesses Roomy Wrap and Cannot Afford to Throw
It is glad news to find that picture resque capes are still fashionable and are likely to remain with us all through the winter.
A few months ago many dress experts insisted that "capes had had their day," and that smart women would not wear them when the autumn leaves began to fall.
Capes have proved too useful and becoming to be lightly cast aside and then, writes a Paris fashion correspondent, another important fact—nearly every woman possesses at least one loose cape in good condition and with present-day prices no one can afford to set aside a good and comfortable garment. In any case, capes are still very fashionable and they are being shown by all the best tailors and dressmakers in Paris.
A Redfern model in wool-backed satin was lined with duvetyn and trimmed with bands of mink. There was a long, gathered cape which fell from under the second band of fur. Between the two bands there was a flat quilling of satin which formed a particularly becoming yoke on the shoulders.
The cape was long and very wide, but both satin and duvetyn were so supple that the folds hung perfectly.
THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY
New plaited wrap of rust brown charmeuse and mink, lined with "cafe au lait" duvetyn.
The duvetyn lining was plain, the quilled yoke being laid on it and the gathered cape skillfully attached. In Paris they are showing a new make of duvetyn which is specially intended for cape and coat linings. It is very warm but much thinner than the cloth used for wrap coats.
Nothing could be smarter than the mixture of satin and duvetyn, in the same color or in contrasting tints. For ordinary wear a lovely circular wrap may be made of tete de negre satin, lined with thin duvetyn and finished
HOW MILADY ADJUSTS VEIL
Favorite Arrangement Is to Place It Over Top of Hat; Little Over Brim.
For some reason American women have not been so eager to go back to the habit of wearing veils as have French women. You know during the war veils seemed to be one of the accessories that women seemed to think they could dispense with. It might have been predicted that the American woman who had always had the reputation of wearing her veil rather nicely would have gone back to the veil habit with more enthusiasm. In the meantime veils have been worn with much enthusiasm in France and there is good reason to believe that as autumn weather returns we will wear veils more generally.
There are always some women who do not feel that they have adjusted a well right unless they have fastened it securely in place by means of invisible hairpins at the back of the hair. However, this is a bit old-fashioned, the present mode demanding a freer arrangement.
A favorite way of arranging the lace veil is to place it over the top of the hat with just a little of the edge appearing over the edge of the brim. The veil is draped on the top of the hat and then sometimes one end hangs down the back while the other is drawn around and draped across the neck in front. This, of course, needs a fairly large hat.
Sometimes on a small hat the veil is arranged loosely so that the edge does not come quite to the tip of the nose and the ends are brought around in front to vell the neck.
IS FOR CONSERVATIVE WOMEN
united & seborr
This tailored suit with its long, becoming lines is of navy serge, and is one of the American fall fashions which should appeal to conservative women.
with a big straight collar of brown fox or any other fur; or it would be equally correct to have the duvetyn outside and the satin for lining.
USE BLOTTER HAIR CURLERS
Paper Absorbs Oil and Hair Will Stay Fluify and Remain in Good Condition.
This time of year many women have great trouble in keeping their hair in curl unless they wash it quite often. Of course, washing the hair often is bad for it as there is a certain amount of oil necessary to keep the hair in good condition. Try this method of curling the hair in damp weather or when it is hot:
Take a sheet of blotting paper and cut it into strips, one inch by two. Straighten an invisible hairpin and insert in the paper lengthwise, fold the paper around a hairpin and use it for a curler.
The blotting paper absorbs the oil and the hair will stay quite fuzzy for a long time. The curlers should be renewed after they have been used twice. You will find that there is quite a little oil on them and that the paper will not take up any more.
Organdie Made Up in Two Colors.
Organdie in all varying colors is one of the most fashionable fabrics. The soft tones, such as hydrangea, orchid and the creamy tints, are as becoming to middle age as to youth. Moreover, it is equally distinctive made up with much lace and embroidery or quite plain, with double hems and a generally tailored effect. Organdie made up in two colors is a novelty of fashion, as also are the apron tunics of organdie, with their pretty bibs, sashes, pockets and other interesting features.
Again the large lace veil is sometimes placed simply across the hat, the ends, hanging evenly down on either side, falling loosely over the shoulders and terminating about the elbows.
The keynote to the whole thing seems to be that the veil should be placed with seeming freeness, though of course it should be well enough secured to make sure that it does not become disarranged.
LIKE ORIGINAL APRON IDEAS
Patrons of Bazaar Boots Always Attracted by Simple Apparel Dear to the Heart.
As long as the apron is the feminine badge of housewifely virtues, Modern Priscilla believes that apron booths at bazaars will be foregone conclusions and profitable enterprises. But women with a little "business imagination" will succeed in instilling novelty into an old idea and make it pay larger dividends by real business methods. One committee invested a conservative amount from the club treasury, selected several practical, popular apron styles and bought materials to make up a number of each. This material, cut, stamped, ready for working, they gave out to their friends, who were much more ready to contribute their bit in this way than to "think up" an apron idea themselves.
Transparent Brocks.
Transparent frocks of sheer fabrics. Shetland wool dresses and those of brilliant colored jersey in bold design and yellow, tan and white, are frequently seen.

CHESTNUT DISHES.
Chestnuts are the favorite nut in the autumn, and when plentiful may be used freely in various dishes, being both nutritious and reasonable in price.
```markdown
```
Chestnut Glace. —Boll two cupfuls of sugar, one cupful of water and a pinch of cream of tartar to a caramel stage or until of a yellowish tinge. Dip the whole nuts, already shelled and blanched, into the hot sirup, using a sharp skewer for dipping; a hatpin is a most convenient dipper. Put on paraffin paper to drain and dry.
In roasting chestnuts before an open fire, the small ends should always be well slit, that they may not burst too violently with the heat. A corn-popper is a safe method of roasting them —better than a shovel or open dish. If to be baked, place them on a perforated dish in a hot oven and bake them until they are thoroughly mealy —about ten minutes.
Chipolata.—Blanch and parboll some chestnuts; chop them, add equal parts of minced mushrooms, carrots, turnips and small sausages; cover with consomme and cook until tender. Season with salt, pepper and a tablespoonful or orange juice.
Chestnut Pancakes.—Beat separately the yolks of three eggs and the whites of two; add three-fourths of a cupful of cream, a tablespoonful each of butter and sugar with sufficient flour to make a batter. Drop on a hot griddle and put together when baked in pairs with a chestnut filling between, or they may be rolled with the filling spread on the cake.
Chestnut Pudding.—Blanch a pint of chestnuts, halve them and cook three-quarters of an hour with half a pint of milk, letting them simmer until soft. Press through a sieve, add one-half cupful of sugar, a little salt, one-half teaspoonful of vanilla, a grating of nutmeg. Beat the yolks of three eggs, add to the chestnut pulp, then fold in the well-beaten whites. Put into a pudding dish and bake fifteen minutes; serve hot or cold with cream or a thin custard.
Chantilly Chestnuts. — Pierce one pound of chestnuts and put them into boiling water and cook for three-quarters of an hour; peel carefully, pass through a potato ricer, sprinkle with sugar, add a bit of vanilla and pile the whole on a plate. Pour over whipped cream sweetened and flavored, and garnish with crystallized apricots.

He made his fortune that a-way.

But came up smilin' every time.

For those who are fond of cheese the following recipe will be enjoyed:

Cheese savory.
—Soften a cake of cream cheese; put it in a bowl which has been rubbed with a clove of garlic; add a tablespoonful of softened butter, one teaspoonful of chopped olives, half a teaspoonful of chopped parsley, one-third of a teaspoonful each of Worcestershire sauce and anchovy paste. Season with salt, pepper and paprika and pack closely in a glass mold. Turn onto a plate when firm. Serve with toasted crackers.
Spinach Timbales.—Chop fine a generous cupful of cooked spinach.

Washboiler Canner, a Typical Part of the Outfit Used by Washington Teacher in Her Successful Canning Enterprise.
Two bollers fitted with trays, two tubs, two wire baskets, two paring knives, a small dipper, a measuring cup, a kettle and a can sealer comprised the equipment that a young Washington school teacher used to can enough peaches to clear $600 in two weeks last fall.
Use Inexpensive Equipment.
One of the things which the home demonstration agents sent out by the United States department of agriculture and the state colleges, teach is the use of inexpensive equipment where it is impossible or inadvisable to buy expensive utensils. In the Yakima valley, Washington, there is a high percentage of waste peaches in the orchards that supply the commercial canneries. It is impossible for them to use tree-ripened Alberta and Slappa peaches because they will not stand up well under the high pressure used in processing. A young school teacher, living in the vicinity of these orchards, and her aunt, decided, with the advice of the home-demonstration
MAKING GRAPE JELLY FROM WASTE PRODUCT
MAKING GRAPE JELLY FROM WASTE PRODUCT
Experiments Show Pomace to Be Quite Satisfactory.
Outside of Sugar, Expense for Materials Is Very Small—Drying Does Not Prevent Jellification—Full Instructions.
Jelly made from grape pomace is a new product of the grape-juice industry. Pomace consists of the skins, pulp and seeds left in the presses after the grapes are crushed for grape juice and has been heretofore almost entirely a waste product. The United States department of agriculture, with the co-operation of a large producer of grape juice in the state of New York, has completed experiments showing that jelly can be made from pomace with very little expense for materials except sugar. The presses, cooking kettles and other food-packing machinery required are already in most of the plants.
The price of grape jelly as now produced is about twice that of apple jelly. If the waste were utilized, jelly could probably be produced at about the same cost as from apples. Enough grape pomace is produced in New York and Michigan each year to make more than 20,000,000 eight-ounce glasses of jelly, it is estimated.
The method of making this jelly does not differ much from ordinary packing-house procedure. It consists in boiling the pomace with water for about 15 minutes, pressing, adjusting the acidity by the addition of tartaric acid, standardizing the juice by concentrating it to the required volume, adding certain quantities of sugar and concentrating to 222-223 degrees F. The jelly has a strong grape flavor and looks very much like the product from whole fresh grapes. In commercial application of the method, it is suggested that the wet pomace be freed from moisture in rotary driess and placed in bags for winter use. Drying does not seem to impair the jellification qualities, and it preserves the product for working up in winter when the burden of the grape juice pressing season is over. This would result in keeping the machinery at work during a greater part of the year and distributing the overhead costs.
Under these conditions it will be profitable, also, to separate the seed and market it for its oil value. Under old methods, the operating and assembling charges were too great for the comparatively small amounts of seed produced, but by using the pomace for jelly, a large part of the handling cost is removed from the grape seed charges. The oil content of grape seed is comparatively small and it should be recovered by solvent extraction rather than by pressing or expelling. The product is a very light-colored, palatable oil and suitable to all purposes for which table oils are used.
Jelly made from grape pomace should not be labeled "Grape Jelly." The label should painly indicate the origin and should show the percentage of added tartaric acid.

little sugar was necessary with the tree-ripened peaches. They also made 600 quarts of peach and pear conserve and 215 quarts of grape and apple jelly. Special recipes were worked out for the pear butter.
IS FORM OF CONJUNCTIVITIS
In All Cases of Pink Eye It Is Important to Consult Some Good Doctor at Once.
(By U. S. Public Health Service.) Pink eye is an acute contagious inflammation of the membrane lining the eye ball and eye lids. In other words it is a form of conjunctivitis.
It begins with a slight itching of the eye. On the morning of the second day the margins of the lids are stuck together by a yellowish gray secretion. There is a burning sensation in the lids, but interference with vision is slight. Toward evening the discharge increases and the discomfort is more marked. The height of the disease is usually reached on the third or fourth day. If simple cleanliness is observed the disease usually runs its course in two or three weeks, but it may last for six months if no treatment is employed.
In all cases of pink eye it is important to consult a good doctor at once, for some forms of conjunctivitis, mistaken for simple "pink eye," are really highly dangerous and may lead to blindness. In all cases of "pink eye" or other forms of conjunctivitis care should be taken not to allow the discharge to get on towels, napkins or other articles which might be the means of transferring the disease to others. Scrupulous cleanliness is of the utmost importance. Eye drops or eye washes should not be used unless prescribed by a physician.
ECONOMIZE IN USING SUGAR
It Is Concentrated Food and Therefore Should Be Eaten in Quite Moderate Quantities.
Sugar is a useful and valuable food. It must, however, be remembered that it is a concentrated food, and therefore should be eaten in moderate quantities. Further, like other concentrated foods, sugar seems best fitted for assimilation by the body when supplied with other materials which dilute it or give it the necessary bulk.
Persons of active habits and good digestion will add sugar to their food almost at pleasure without inconvenience, while those of sedentary life, of delicate digestion, or with a tendency to corpulency would do better to use sugar very moderately.

"Mutual Service the Very Cornerstone of the Pan-American Movement."
By DR. L. S. ROWE, New Director Pan-American Union.
Mutual service is the very cornerstone of the Pan-American movement and this same idea of service permeates and vitalizes the work of the union. Every one connected with the organization is constantly seeking new opportunities for service and usefulness.
This great international institution is the center to which the governments and peoples of the American republics turn for information. Through its agency the fog of distrust, due to lack of acquaintance with one another, is rapidly being dispelled. The essential unity of purpose and unity of ideals of the republics of America are, with each year, becoming more evident. In this unity of purpose and of ideals there is involved an example of a smoothly operating international organization that makes for mutual confidence, good will and above all, for the maintenance of peace.
In carrying forward the work of the union, it will be necessary to have the earnest co-operation, interest and support of the leading men and women of all the republics of this continent, and I earnestly hope that I may be assured of this indispensable requisite for the solution of the many important problems confronting the Pan-American union.
"I Shall Remember America as a Land of Interrupted Conversations."
"I shall remember America as the land of interrupted conversations," said that brilliant Frenchman, Porf. Henri Bergson, after a brief but memorable visit to the United States. A great many things are interrupted in our rushing, energetic, complex, modern world. Perhaps most of all our thoughts are interrupted. We have to think under pressure and we catch most of our thoughts "on the fly." The result is that we have more thoughts than thought, more cleverness than insight. Of course it is a great deal easier to set an idea blazing at some tiny point of conflagration than to build the substantial furnaces where the great fires of the mind can be kept burning.
The boy at a typical American university who said he was too busy to have time to study only represents a part of our problem. You get close to the heart of it in the remark of another student who said that he was too busy to have time to think. The man of consummate intellectual powers is not the clever juggler with many thoughts. He is the man who thinks things out; who has arisen from thoughts to thought.
One of the worst things which can be said about a university is that it is strong in everything except the intellectual life. It requires hard and vigorous training to make a man capable of thought. But the athlete of the mind knows that it is worth more than it costs.
Wholesale Grocer Necessary Link in Distribution of Food Products.
The wholesale grocer is a necessary and valuable link in the distribution of grocery products, notwithstanding the stand taken recently by a large soap manufacturer in eliminating the jobber and selling direct to the retail grocer.
The wholesaler brings about a greater distribution of merchandise, thus increasing the volume and lowering the prices to the consumer. To eliminate him from the scheme of things would raise prices.
With the jobber eliminated, the retail grocer would have to buy more heavily and carry larger stocks. This would tie up his capital or restrict his assortments to a very few brands. He would be compelled to pay increased freight charges on goods delivered to him in individual shipments instead of one consignment from the jobber.
In addition, the grocer would be put to the added expense of establishing credit relations with many different firms. He would lose valuable time in interviewing many strange salesmen instead of placing his order with the jobbing salesmen as he does now.
We have never viewed the work of the wholesaler as simply a mechanical function in the distribution of merchandise.
The American Woman Is a Creature of Unexampled Variety in Herself.
I have come to America chiefly to study its women. One never knows a woman till he makes love to her. I brought my wife, who naturally objects to my employment of this method in studying the American woman.
The difficulties are great. Moreover, there is no such thing as the American woman in the sense that one may speak of the French woman or the English woman. You have so many types, and almost any American woman one meets is a creature of such unexampled variety in herself. Yet, though love making denied, profound knowledge must be lacking, I hope that if I can adequately describe my reactions from contact less intimate I will be doing something valuable. The impressions of foreigners, if faithfully conveyed, should be interesting and edifying.
The intellectual English woman is as high a product as any in the world. But they are not very common. The average American woman one meets is much more apt to be interested in the things of the mind
HCE
In entering upon the duties of director general of the Pan-American union, I desire to avail myself of the earliest opportunity to say that my major purpose will be to subserve the same great international purposes that have guided my distinguished predecessors. During the last fifteen years Mr. Barrett has performed such conspicuous service to the cause of continental solidarity that the Pan-American union has come to occupy a high place in the estimation of all the nations of America. Through his efforts, the unity of purpose of the peoples of America has been strengthened and

Though Just as Reliable
M. J. B.
One of the outstanding features of the success of the Republican campaign in Denver and the State of Colorado, in behalf of the National Republican ticket, is the efficient and thorough work that has been done and is now being pushed by Mr. L. R. Hubbard, president of the Harding-Coolidge Republican Club of Denver.
Mr. Hubbard was one of the very few ardent supporters of Senator Harding for the nomination for the presidency early in the game when there seemed no hope for the nomination of his favorite. It was his consistent and persistent boosting of Senator Harding's candidacy that caused many people to stop and begin to do a little political calculating when they began to size up the political situation. Sure enough, Senator Harding was nominated, just as Mr. Hubbard had reasoned, and he became at once the political pilot for the Harding forces in the state of Colorado.
Mr. Hubbard is and has always been a content and faithful Republican. As a young man, he has set a fast pace for many who are to follow and has amazed many of the old-timers by his political foresight and prophesy. At present he is clerk of Division Four of the District Court. The Colorado Statesman has always found Mr. Hubbard to be broad, fair and liberal in all his dealings with his fellowmen, and especially considerate to our people as evidenced by his action in placing representative men upon the directorate of the Harding-Coolidge Club.
