FRENCH AFRICANS TURN COLD SHOULDER TO BOLSHEVIKI
Colored Delegates in House of Deputies Claim Garvey's Scheme All Wrong.
VOL. XXIX.
PARIS, Nov. 26.—It appears that whatever olive branches have been held out to French Negroes by the Bolsheviks are to fade and wither. At least that is the dictum given to the public by the representatives in the House of Deputies within the past few days.
M. Candace, the Guadaloupean delegate and probably the most eloquent man in the chamber, has pronounced against any consideration of the plan to ally French Negroes with the Russian Reds. He declares that it would be the height of folly to do so and besides it is against every economic and political interest of the Negroes of the world, at this time, to join hands with the ultra radical elements in any part of the world.
"This American Negro, Garvey," he said recently, "has got hold of the wrong end of this matter. We are at that stage of our race development where we are obliged to join hands with some one, I admit. But we should be very careful whom we pick as our ally in this effort we all have an abiding interest.
No French Negro can afford to leave the French. The French are modern in spirit. I will admit the African policy of the French government has not always been wise. Rene Maran's story, however, has opened French eyes to the necessity of bringing about a change of policy in that section of the French world.
"There are many reasons that point to the Negroid elements of the human family as the next dominant factor in the upholding of genuine principles of civilization. We have the benign nature, and we have the poetic vision if we will use it to the highest advantage. I seen o reason, at present, to join with such visiolaries as Garvey or anyone else to try to get control of Africa now. The future will take good care that we get all we deserve in this particular. Let us make ample preparation and then talk about controlling the Fatherland."
Braise Diagne, the West Coast African delegate, voiced the opinions of Candace. "We will talk of the African situation in due time," he said. "M. Candace has expressed my view of the matter."
Beth Candace and Diagne endorsed the Pan-African Congress. They each declared that it was the right movement because the membership advocated the high development of the brawn and brain of the Negroes before there was any kind of talk about an attempt to control the African branch of the race. It is likely that the Pan-African Congress will meet again next year.
Rap Pastor For Taking Klux Money
Rap Pastor For Taking Klux Money
Madison, Wis., Dec. 8.—Probably the most troublesome $25 the Rev. F. J. Peterson, pastor of the A. M. E. Church here, ever had to handle were those donated to his church by the
State Hist & Nat H
Society
State House
Madison branch of the Ku Klux Klan to aid the church in furthering its extension work. The preacher took the money and the board of trustees is said to have said that it was all right.
Not only members of his church, but other citizens have combined in condemning the action of the Rev. Peterson. The light of publicity has been turned on him by means of a letter written to a local white paper. The letter follows:
"As a citizen and taxpayer of Madison and a subscriber to your paper, I wish to express through its columns my disapproval of the article which appeared in the issue of Nov. 17, stating that the Negroes of Madison had endorsed the K. K. K. and had buried the hatchet.
"The terror this organization has wrought among our people and the many injustices it has done us would not allow me or any race-loving Negro, for the paltry sum of $25, to endorse this organization of destruction which is stirring up race and religious hatred.
"The Negro of Madison feels that it would be a wrong and a detriment to endorse any movement which does not meet the approval of our governor and other law abiding citizens. "We are hoping that the good citizens will not take it for granted that the Negroes of Madison are in sympathy with the K. K. K. "W. L. HARRIS."

Indianapolis Girl Is Given $1,000 in Will
Miss Bessie Miller, who for seventeen years has been a housekeeper for the Sterling R. Holt family (white), in North Meridian street, was the proud recipient last week from Mr. Holt of a par value $1,000 United States bond.
The big bond presentation was in line with a stipulation in the will of Mrs. Holt, who died a few years ago.
A letter containing the bond, which was mailed to Miss Miller as a surprise last Saturday by Mr. Holt, in keeping with an expressed wish of his deceased wife and in appreciation of the long, valuable and faithful services rendered the family by the former, read as follows:
"Indianapolis, Nov. 29, 1922.
Miss Bessie Miller,
"Miss Bessie Miller:
"In pursuance of the desire and wish of Mrs. Holt, in her will, you were to receive $1,000.
"I am now handing you a certain United States bond, par value $1,000.
"Hoping you may live a long and happy life. Respectfully,

Right to Vote In South Urged On President
Tinkham Wants Message to Congress to Deal With 14th Amendment as Well as 18th.
Washington, D. C., Dec. 6.—Representative George H. Tinkham of Massachusetts, in a letter to President Harding, written yesterday, has suggested that the failure to enforce the second section of the Fourteenth amendment to the constitution was just as flagrant as the current failure to enforce the eighteenth amendment. He suggested that the President should not overlook the failure to enforce the fourteenth amendment, which guarantees the Negro the right to vote, if he should comment upon the failures to enforce prohibition in his address to the next session of Congress. Representative Tinkham's letter to the President follows:
"Hon. Warren G. Harding, the White House, Washington, D. C.
"My Dear Mr. President:—It has been stated that in your address to be made at the opening of the fourth session of the Sixty-seventh Congress it is your intention to refer to the widespread disrespect for law as exemplified by the unparalleled defiance of the federal statutes to enforce the eighteenth amendment to the constitution and its anarchistic and revolutionary consequences. There can be no descent from its necessity.
"You will agree that all parts of the constitution should be enforced equally and impartially and in no part nullified.
"With the greatest respect may I draw your attention to the fact that whereas the eighteenth amendment of the constitution is permissive in its authorization to Congress to pass legislation to enforce it the second section of the fourteenth amendment to the constitution, which commands Congress to reduce representation in proportion to disfranchisement, is mandatory and prescriptive and is now scandalously and completely unenforced and nullified.
"With the greatest respect, may I also draw your attention to the fact that with flagrant and widespread disfranchisement established by a mass of indisputable evidence now before Congress, and by a common knowledge, and the second section of the fourteenth amendment to the constitution unenforced, the very tenure of the office you hold and the representation of the lower House of Congress is tainted with unconstitutionality.
"Unconstitutional tenure of office and illegal elections strike at the very heart of the moral sanctions behind laws and executive acts. Public authority, before demanding obedience, must itself obey. There can be no degree in faithlessness to the constitution and its requirements, but if there were, surely the moral turpitude of violation of a constitutional mandate which involes the purity of elections and constitutional organization of government is as great as the violation of the federal statutes concerning the consumption of alcoholic beverages.
"May I, with the greatest respect and sincere hope that I transgress no propriety suggest that in your address

Dr. Robert R. Moton Makes Tour of Georgia in Interest of Race Relations
Covers 1,200 Miles, Visits 14 Cities, Addresses 49,000 People.
Tuskegee Institute, Dec. 15.—Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute and president of the National Negro Business League, has recently completed a "Good Will Tour" of the state of Georgia, upon which he covered 1,200 miles, visited fourteen cities and spoke to more than 40,000 colored and white citizens. The tour was made at the invitation of the leading citizens of both races, headed by Dr. W. H. Harris of Athens, Georgia. Dr. Moton was accompanied by a party of twenty-five men of the race, including many prominent educators and business men of the country.
The tour began in Atlanta, Georgia, Nov. 26th, and closed in Columbus, Georgia, Sunday, Dec. 3rd. Among other cities visited were: Elberton, Washington, Athens, Waynesboro, Millen, Savannah, Brunswick, Waycross, Albany, Americus, Fort Valley and Macon.
In each city Dr. Moton was given a most cordial reception by large audiences of colored and white people and in twelve of the cities the mayor either presided at the meeting or welcomed the party to the city. Dr. Moton's addresses were centered around the "text," "Peace on Earth, Good Will Among Men." In treating this subject, Dr. Moton pointed out that absolute frankness, understanding, and sympathetic co-operation should characterize the dealing between the races; urged the members of his race to be proud of their race; to be industrious, and to be thrifty; deplored the fact that crime among Negroes gained access to the news columns more readily than racial achievements and made a sincere appeal to the white people to accord protection and absolute civic justice to the Negroes; at the same time pointing out many conditions, which he likened to "gravels in the shoes," and which frequently cause members of the Negro race to become discouraged.
The "Good Will Tour" received the whole-hearted co-operation of the state press. In each town the newspapers were very generous in reporting the activities of the meetings, and several editors of the leading papers of the state were present at the meetings and published strong editorials endorsing the fundamentals emphasized by Dr. Moton and urging their readers to put into practice the principles of good will as set forth by him.
to the Congress you draw its attention to its present unconstitutional composition and its own legal and constitutional obligations.
"I have the honor to be, my dear Mr. President,
"Your obedient servant,

MADAME E. AZALIA
HACKLEY DEAD
Noted Musician and Former Denver
Woman Passes Away in Detroit.
A message bearing the sad news that Madame E. Azalia Hackley had passed away, came to Denver Thursday morning. Madame Hackley was a musical artist of world-wide fame and her long residence in this city always caused us to claim her as "Denver's own." And though it was generally known that she had been in ill health for some years, still her friends were not prepared for the word that she had, on Wednesday, answered the final summons. Her last appearance in Denver was about three years ago, when she organized a chorus to sing at the city Auditorium. She then spent considerable time on the Pacific coast after filling her engagement here, and it was thought that the California climate had restored her to robust health again. The race has not produced a more commanding figure in the musical world than Madame Hackley. She not only possessed a voice of remarkable sweetness and superior range, but had unusual talent for training choruses on a large scale. Her ability to interpret Negro folksong was outstanding and she was just as adept in the classics. Some years ago Madame Hackley traveled extensively throughout Europe, and returning to this country, was the reigning sensation among vocal artists. She has appeared in nearly all of America's largest cities and never failed to please an audience. One very notable characteristic that followed her throughout all her successes was a most commendable pride of race. She held to an abiding faith that the Negro would win a place in the sun and to that end gave of her time, ability and money without stint. Her death will be mourned in all parts of the United States, but nowhere more sincerely than in Denver. THE COLORADO STATESMAN knew her as an artist, a leader of women and as a friend. Our sympathy is genuine and goes out to all who survive her. The race suffers an irreparable loss by her death. Funeral services were held in Detroit Friday morning.
Wife Colored, He Says, Suing For Divorce
Wife Colored, He Says, Suing For Divorce
New York, Dec. 7.—Alleging that his wife had forgotten to supply him with her family genealogical tree, and had therefore kept from him her knowledge that she possessed Negro blood, one John Stovall, a white insurance broker of 2261 Andrews avenue, Bronx, has broken into the newspaper columns by seeking before Supreme Court Justice Faber of Brooklyn to have his marriage annulled. The Stovalls have been married and living together for a year. They were evidently fairly successful in their negotiation of the rocky road of matrimony until old ubiquitous mother-in-law sprang the coup in the traditional fight between son's wife and son's mother and handed Cupid the count by her revelation that Mrs. Stovall was of Negro blood.
Mrs. Stovall, who is only 20 years old, takes the position, through her attorney, that as nobody had ever questioned her as to her race ties she had felt no obligation to boast of her possession of the blood of the Pharaohs.
Justice Faber directed that the case be tried next month.

Chicago First Negro National Bank in Hands of Receiver
Chicago First Negro National Bank in Hands of Receiver
Chicago, Ill. — Once again the inevitable hand of justice has fallen upon a Negro financial institution in Chicago and the Binga State Bank continues to bask alone in the free-from-scandal sunlight. Only recently the Hunter bank that seemed so flourishing for a short time came "under the eagle eye of the law" and was forced to close. Now we are face to face with a similar situation, which speaks badly for race financial concerns. The charges are that the Douglas National Bank, the only national bank in the United States owned and operated by Negroes exclusively, is insolvent and that there is a plan to divert assets of the institution for the promotion of a real estate venture sponsored by Anthony Overton, president of the bank, were made yesterday in a petition filed in federal court. In the petition a receivership and an injunction restraining officials from investing $175,000 of its funds are asked. It is alleged that the money was to be used in buying stock in the proposed Overton building to be built at State street and Thirty-sixth place at an estimated cost of $225,000.
Several irregularities in the conduct of the bank's affairs are alleged. One charge is that the officials obtained a national bank charter through fraudulent representations to the comptroller of currency. It was also contended that stockholders were denied the privilege of completing payments on bank stock for which they had subscribed at $130 a share, and that the same stock was sold to a syndicate for $105 a share. The suit was filed by Hoyne, Barnhart, McKay and Niemeyer in behalf of P. W. Travers, a stockholder, following investigation by the Keystone National Detective agency and Maj. A. E. Patterson.
BOULDER, COLO., NEWS.
The nights are cool and every morning we expect snow, or a storm of some kind, but instead, we notice the sun is shining.
There is quite a bit of building in Boulder. Many are adding to their buildings, repairing or erecting new buildings.
Farmers are crying for more moisture—rain or snow.
There has been quite a bit of sickness in Boulder.
Mrs. Mary White of 2202 Goss street, has been under the weather, but is better. Mrs. S. B. Harris has also been feeling ill, but is better. Mrs. S. Washington has been very sick for the past ten days, but a change for the better came Sunday evening, the 10th. She is convalescing. Mrs. Mary Reeves has been on the sick list, but is better. Mrs. E. G. Chrysler and Mrs. S. E. Tinsley were Denver visitors Thursday, the 7th. Mrs. Chrysler went to Denver on business. Mr. Owens was a Denver visitor Sunday. The Allen Chapel are planning on having a Christmas entertainment by the Sunday School and friends. Mrs. Mary White is directing the affair. Rev. Harper from Denver was a Boulder visitor Sunday morning. He preached at the Baptist Church Sunday morning at the 11 o'clock services. His sermon was enjoyed by all who attended. He spoke from the twenty-third psalm, "The Lord Is My Sheep, I Shall Not Want."

OF ALL the Christmas gifts of past years but one remained. It seemed surrounded by a charm that was all its own and that was as unaffected by the atmosphere of the bare and dingy room as a light in a dark place. The old schoolmaster took it up, looked lovingly upon it and replaced it upon the shelf. Then, advancing to the window, he looked out upon the lighted star in the church steeple that was proclaiming Christ's birthday and listened to the shouts of the merrymakers in the streets as they rose upon the snowy wind. The old man's mind was busy with happier days. In the picture gallery
JOHN M. MAYER
of his memory
visions of home
cheer and gladness were upon
the walls. Face
looked out from
their frames with
old glances of
love, and figure
passed before him
full of the beauty
of young life.
Again he was in
the midst of joyous and successful activities,
companied and
enthusiastic. Then, as memory's mirage fad
ed away and left but two receding images before him, he looked once more upon one who had gone to some unknown land, the son who had so mysteriously disappeared from the home fellowship and ken, and he saw again the form of her who had set out for the land that is beyond the stars, but not before she had placed in his hand the precious vase with the pictured flute player upon its side.
At the time he had not fully noted the significance of the happy urchin in the red robe as he held his flute to his lips. Pleasures and pursuits pressed upon him and left the musician unnoticed through the days and nights. But the boy had never ceased his playing, and now with some remembered melody, then with some new adventure in the world of harmony, he seemed to be waiting for the recognition and appreciation that he knew would come. A steadfast and inverteate optimist, he played on; to weariness and loneliness he played a hopeful song; forbidding dejection and despair, he became a prophet of better days to come. In solitude and uselessness he was as an only but changeless friend. To him the old man turned as to an oracle. Poverty had taken one after the other of his possessions, but had never been able to separate him from this merry genius, this incorrigibly persistent promiser.
If the prelude does not get discouraged fortune is likely to admire it and introduce the performance, and this turned out to be the reward of the industrious hope of the flute player. He did not hear the step upon the stair or the knock upon the door, and he did not see the amazement with which the schoolmaster listened to the tale of his lost son, as he embraced him and tried to realize that he had indeed come back and brought good fortune with him, but even more merrily and madly he played in the dance with which these two were to go down the future.
Habits are strange things. One can get so far into a habit of gladness as
to be unable to get out of it. A face can get so used to smiling as to have no night there. A boy can become so committed to fluting as to be unable to stop. It was so with the flute player: to this day he plays and does nothing else. He sits upon another and a better shelf, but not idly. He is among happy people, but busy sending joy
to be unable to get out of it. A face can get so used to smiling as to have no night there. A boy can become so committed to fluting as to be unable to stop. It was so with the flute player: to this day he plays and does nothing else. He sits upon another and a better shelf, but not idly. He is among happy people, but busy sending joy out into all the neighborhood. He has played the old schoolmaster young again and fixed his thought upon a life that never grows old.
Indeed, the flute player has even encouraged the schoolmaster to begin teaching again. The scholars are his grandchildren. They are not having a hard time, for they sing on their way to lessons. They are not unhappy scholars, for one of them threw a kiss to the last Christmas moon. Last summer another of them became a poetess and composed the following appreciation of nature:
Above the Argonne Forest
A Star is shining fair;
Its gentle beams awaken
The young men sleeping there.
Again in songs of angels
The birth of Christ is told;
The young men go to greet Him
With richer gifts than gold.
The flute player is setting this to music. This scholar has already learned to write. She has proved that by producing an invitation to one of the school sessions in this form:
Dear Aunt Fanny:
Please come Friday, if you can; and if you can't come, don't come.
She is not a flatterer, however, when she said one day, "Grandpa, you don't look a bit over twenty."

THE ANNUAL
ROMANCE
ROBALIND was engaged to be mar-
ried, She was to be murrled the
day after Christmas, she couldn't
pvery well be married before thea a
her fiance was so especially, unustial-
ly busy at Christmas tine, and it
would have been cruel, too, not to lave
waited,
For Bill, her beloved, took the part
of a Santa Claus every Christmas for
one of the big city stores, He was an
Ideal Santa Claus. He wasn't too tall,
he was not too short; he was rather
Inclined to a stockiness of build, and
extra clothes made him look an {deal
round Santa. He had a ruddy face
and snapping blue eyes—and dressed
in 2 Santa Claus costume he was per-
fect.
How the children did adore bimt
| And how he loved them! They whis-
pered their secrets to him and their
eyes danced with rare happiness when
he waved a good-bye to them and
called them:
“Sweethearts,” and “My dears," and
| “Children dears,” and other affection-
ate terms.
Rosalind had been thrilled when
she had heard him first, in his deep
beautiful voice uttering such beautiful
words! For Rosalind had met him
first when he had been a Santa Clans
/and she had been an extra sales girl
‘taken on for the Christmas rush.
| Tt had been her first meeting with
him, But she had been kept at the
store after the Christmas rush was
over, and Bill had worked for the
store for seven years now, Every De-
cember he was Santa Claus. The oth:
er eleven months he spent in selling
kitchen utensils in the basement.
They had fallen in love with each oth-
er, though, at this time when he had
been Santa Claus. And many a time
when he had sald: “Good-by dearte,”
toa child, he had been thinking of the
pretty girl who was at that very mo-
ment selling dolls and giving hee
smiles, her beautiful smiles to a moth-
er or to children,
And now a second Christmas was
coming around, and once more Bill
| was Santa Claus, and as soon as he
was through being Santa Claus they
would be married.
“Lve always had lots of romance in
my nature,” she suid to him one eve-
ning. “I've always thought it would
be awful to be like some folks—some
I know and some I've heard talk. One
lady who came to the store with a
friend was telling how she and her
husband got along perfectly. They
each had other friends, and sometimes
they met and embarrassed others when
they told that they were married. For
one time the husband had been having
dinner with a friend, and the friend
had been looking flirtatiously at his
wife who was also in the restaurant.
“The frlend had been much embar-
rassed when he discovered he had been

flirting with the husband's wife. And
/ she was telling this as a good joke.
“T wouldn't want that kind where
one goes one way and the other the
other way. And I wouldn't want to
be known as a wife because I wag
quarreling with my husband,
“You know how you hear folks say
‘Well, you could tell they were mar-
ried, all right I don't want that
kind.”
“And you won't have it, little girl,"
BI sald. “I'm for your’ kind of ro-
mance every time. I'm for the kind of
‘a married life where folks won't think
we're married—we'll be so happy! I
had a friend once like that. Why, a cop
called him down because he was mak-
Ing love to his wife and wouldn't be
Meve they were married ‘cause she
called him ‘darling.’ They found it
awkward, but they had the right
idea.”
And as Rosalind Ustened to” her
Santa Claus, as she counted the days
before the wedding, she sald to her-
self:
“It will be an annual romance to see
Bill as Santa Claus, for it was as
Santa Claus that I, too, fell in love
with him as well as the children, and
every year our happy, merry memories
will be revived for us. We believe in
romance and romance believes in us,
for It, too, Is going to play its part.”
‘And someone who knew them both
said:
“It wouldn't be a bad idea if every
man could be as he was during his
courtship days for a whole month of
every year!”
Have Breakfast Room Tidy.
Start the day right by having the
breakfast room aired and tidy, even
though a more thorough sweeping and
dusting is done afterwards. If the
table is set the night before a light
cloth must be thrown over it. .

THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT.
The Christmas cheer
Comes once a year,
When hearts seem to unite
In songs of praise
Of the Day of days,
The Christian's own birthright.
HE great advocate and exponent of the Christian religion, who was
T as zealous for its propagation after he was converted as he was for
Judaism, when he became the greatest persecutor of the Christians,
wrote to the Romans in the fololwing: “Owe no man anything but to
love one another; for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
Love worketh no ill to his neighbor, therefore love is the fulfilling of the
law. The night is far spent, the day is at hand; let us therefore cast off
the works of darkness and let us put on the armor of light.”
A more appropriate quotation we could not find in our reminding the
members of Christendom of the spirit that should permeate them at this
season, and if Christmas Day or Christmastide should mean anything to
us, it should be in that spirit, as a beacon light which illuminates our
minds to a higher life, bringing peace and good will to all mankind.
Says a writer: “Christmas spirit means Christian spirit; and Christ-
mas has a more elevating effect upon us than other peoples who do not
profess Christianity, in that it not only typifies peace and good will, but
carries the essence of unselfishness and pure love, the most common ex-
pression being the bestowal of gifts. When the Christmas influence gains
to the point that its spirit shall permeate the affairs of every day in the
year, the great millenium will have arrived.” And this should be incul-
cated in old and young, as we can recall the number of Christmas messages
we have published and sent broadcast to the people of Denyer, throughout
our state and many other states of the Union for these many years, and in
our expressions of good will and promotion of good cheer, we have always
felt happier when we have made some one feel that our endeavors to make
them happy is purely from the debt we owe—LOVE.
In testing the effect of the Christmas spirit, a reflection upon the
positions of the different races will show beyond a doubt that the most
advanced are those of Christian attainments, and an introspective view
of the Christian mind will further prove that the keynote to this cheerful
siving of presents, etc., is to be found in LOVE, so interwoven with our
general make-up that the outsider cannot help from admiring the peculiar
exuberance of joy that emanates from those who glory in the spirit of
giving. We have been greatly benefited by this spirit. Others can.
‘THE COLORADO STATESMAN, fully realizing that the close compan-
ionship between itself and its many advertisers, subscribers and friends, has
made it possible to be the news journal of such noted recognition, is
prompted at this time, with a heart brimful of pleasure, to wish you in
accordance with our headline—A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A PROSPER-
OUS NEW VFAR_
BETTER TIMES AHEAD.

NLESS the experienced heads of large financial institutions and build-_
U ing operators are wholly wrong in their forecasts, Colorado is on the
eve of a great business revival, certain to be of benefit to every citi-
zen in the state, Optimism is the progenitor of confidence, and confidence
is a safe guide to prosperity. Just now the air in Colorado, and especially
in7and around Denver, is virtually permeated with both optimism and_
confidence,
Nor is it without reason, With the exception of a brief period during
the latter part of 1921 and the first few months of this year, Colorado]
has not greatly suffered from the general business depression that practi-
cally paralyzed the East, South and Middle West states. We were about’
the last to feel the effects of this near panic and one of the first to cacneen
from it. Of course our mining industry still remains in the dumps with
no apparent signs of coming to life soon, and our farming and stock inter-
ests are aggravatingly slow in reaching their former prosperous state.
Notwithstanding this, however, there is a healthy tone abounding in finan-|
cial circles and capital 1s ever ready to reach out for new investments and
enterprises whose ultimate development will bring prosperity to the whole
state, Perhaps not in a decade have railroads entering Denver planned
so extensively on substantial improvements as now. Millions of dollars
have been appropriated by the sever€l roads to build shops, or reconstruct
roadbeds or to purchase rolling stock. Then again the highway department
of the’state has laid out a comprehensive plan of road building that means
‘much in the way of centralizing our activities and making more accessible
many out of the way places. Every foot of improved highway in Colorado
becomes a valuable asset to the state. In the line of building, Denver is
enjoying one of the greatest building booms in her history, and this without
ostentation or undue flare of trumpets. This spells substantiality. It is
notable that building operations are not in excess of demand, for indeed
it is a difficult task to keep up with the general demand for small homes
and desirable business blocks. What then does this mean to the average
citizen, to you and us as it were? It means that we must either become a
very material part of the general prosperity that bids to sweep our state,
or else be pushed entirely to one side. ‘There 1s no middle ground. It
may be argued that no sermon is needed on this score, as we are learning
to be investors and home owners. In the past few years we have also
jearned something of cohesiveness and loyalty in business, We are begin-
ning to learn that dividends are not to be looked for the next day after an
investment, and that we can accomplish a great deal more through com-
binations of capital than by single-handed effort. We are also reaching the
point where we can trust one another. There is still ample room for
improvement in this regard, but we are slowly “arriving.” We trust and
confidently believe that every prophecy for better times ahead will prove
to be predicated upon safe ground. Prosperity is not a condition new to
many Coloradoans, but we would dislike to see any business revival within
our state in which our group did not have a full share. Whether artisan
or laborer, farmer or financier, building contractor or investor, we want
to see the Negro hold a goodly place in all that builds up our common
state, It has been suggested that should the Moffat Tunnel project over-
come the many legal obstacles now confronting it and become an actu-
ality, yast domains of good farming land would be within the reach of
thousands. This important fact must not be overlooked by those of our
group looking for real openings. We must be identified with every de-
veloping source and project offered to a progressive people. We have the
courage and the Intelligence. Let us then adopt the pioneer spirit and the
pioneer heroism. Yes, better times are ahead, because Colorado has
natural resources of untold wealth that is awaiting to yield to scientific
development, because Colorado can house and feed a population many
times greater than she has now, because Coloradoans have faith and
vision, the greatest factor In bridging the chasm from hard times to pros-
perity that human progress can boast of.
MOUNTAIN LODGE OF ELKS No.
39, |. B. P. O. E, OF W., ELECT
OFFICERS FOR 1923,
At the regular meeting of the aboye
lodge, held last Wednesday evening at
Old Colony Hail, the semi-annual
election of officers took place result:
ing In the following: D, I, Miller,
exalted ruler; J. R. Contee, es-
teemed leading knight; Curtis Stamps,
esteemed loyal knight; Hewetson Wat-
son, esteemed lectureing knight; Henry
Haines, secretary; Richard Frazier,
treasurer; Edward Kelly, esquire; Wil-
Ham Stewart, inner guard; Ed. Jack-
son, tiler; P, Person, B. V. Cammel,
Burt Moore, trustees; W. S. Evans,
chaplain; Edward Page, chairman of
social sessions,
A special feature of the meeting
was the annual donation of the lodge
to charity, a custom engaged by the
lodge for a number of years in bring-
ing Christmas cheer to unfortunate
members of the community. ‘The ad-
dress of D, L. Miller, the exalted
ruler-elect, is 2710 Lafayette street.
Y. M. C. A. NOTES.
Before a crowd that filled every
‘available space in the room, a splen-
‘did and unusually interesting _pro-
[gram belonged to Miss Luventa H. Me-
‘pherson, and was in the form of a
austen and literary recital, Miss Me-
Pherson furnishing the lterary portion
with selections from her own writings
and compositions, and the music be-
ing furnished by the senior choir of
the Campbell A. M. B. Chureh, ‘The
reciter was perfectly at home at every
jatage of the program, and greatly sur-
prised and pleased every one, both by
‘the humor and pathos of her selec-
tions and by her wonderful memory.
‘The choir, In charge of Mrs. Freeman,
the chorister, with Mrs, Clark Craig,
the well known accompanist, was pay-
ing its annual visit to the “Y,” and,
as always, sung with great feeling
and power. Mr, Caldwell, in a trom-
bone solo, rendering “One Sweetly
Solemn Thought,” brought forth long
and loud applause from the audience.
It was a great program, and every
one went away full of praise,
Tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon
promises to be equal to last Sunday,
although in another way, Dr. Baker,
the well known “root doctor,” as he
jokingly calls himself, will be the
Speaker—not to sell or advertise his
medicines, as good as they are, but to
tell the people some of his plain, hard
| facts, for which he is so famous. Any
qne, man or woman, who wants to
ear a good program and enjoy an
hour of profit and pleasure, is invited
| to the meeting, which will begin
| promptly at 4 o'clock.
GOOD FELLOWSHIP SPIRIT STIRS
OUR GROUP.
The good fellowship spirit that so
visibly grips all Denver at this season
of the year has found its way into
many clubs and. organizations of our
group this year, Already plans are
extensively made to see that the cheer
of Christmas invades many dark and
cheerless “homes, It is planned, to
visit the sick, to remember the or-
phans and kindle a new fire of hepe
in the hearts of the down and out.
The struggling poor will have their
burdens lifted for a season and the
hungry fed, One of the most preten-
tious efforts that has come to our
notice is that of a number of our pro-
gressive Indies who are planning a
praise-worthy benefit for Mrs, Minnie
Robinson, a former resident and club
woman of this city, but now upon her
bed of affliction in Youngstown,
Ohio. ‘The benefit takes place at the
home of Mrs, Sam Abernathy, 2712
Marion street, next Saturday night,
and its success Is assured from the en-
thusiastie spirit of the ladies having
the affairs in charge, THE COLO-
RADO STATESMAN heartily encour-
ages also such charitable movements
as typifying the real meaning and
purpose of Christians, If during the
‘war you could give cheerfully until tt
hurts, surely you can give now till It
brings gladness to you and joy to all.
ALLEYNE’S BOOK AND NOVELTY
SHOP.
Another of our progressive young
men in the person of Milton Alleyne,
having resolved to assist the youth in
literary accomplishments, has opened
a book and novelty shop at 2732 Wel-
ton street, where everything in peri-
odieals, papers and magazines can be
had.
Mr. Alleyne, with the determination
that the Negro should be fully ac-
quainted with himself, is specializing
in Negro authors, editors and poets.
We wish our new business man every
success in his venture,
In constant and loving memory of
our father and grandfather, Alexan-
der A. Baly, who left us Dec. 20, 1921.

BON VIVIANTS TREATED TO AL FEAST BY WESLEY FRIERSON.
The December meeting of the Bon Viviant Club took on a far ferent turn than merely a rem monthly dinner affair. Wesley Ison was the club host and W knows how to entertain in style, as was evidenced by the guest he tenured his fellow club.
Miss Lucille Downing, one of the popular girls of the younger set, was rushed to St. Anthony's hospital one day last week to undergo an operation for appendicitis. She is doing nicely and will soon be out among her friends once more.

The beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. David A. Finley, 2819 Gilpin street, sustained some damages last Wednesday, the result of a fire which possibly originated in the flue. Mr. Finley praised the fire department for their services, which saved much loss and damage to the property.
THE CITY administration, through its superintendent of parks, will again decorate the civic center for the Christmas season. The decorations will surpass anything ever seen in Denver, as no pains will be spared to make a thorough success of the work. Everybody should be very interested, and the kiddies should not be forgotten in the opportunity to witness Denver's way of entertaining her citizens.
SHORTER CHAPEL NOTES.
Sunday will be a day of unusual importance at Shorter Chapel. At the 11 o'clock service, Gov. Oliver H. Shoup will address the Men's Club and the music furnished by our splendid choir will be augmented by Allen's Orchestra. At the evening service the annual sermon will be preached to the Ladies' Aid Society by the minister. Everybody invited. If you want your Christmas to have a halo about it, be sure and attend the 5 o'clock service at Shorter Christmas morning.
BOY SCOUT NEWS.
Troop 50 of Shorter's A. M. E. Church meets every Saturday evening at 7:30 o'clock. We urgently request the attendance of all members and others who may be interested. It must be remembered that about four years ago the colored people of Denver craved Scouting for their boys. Now, since we have that opportunity, LETS USE IT.
WALLACE SIMPSON POST NO. 29
OPENS MEMBERSHIP DRIVE.
The Wallace Simpson Post of the American Legion rendered a highly intesting program to a large crowd at Shorter Church last Sunday night. The occasion was the opening of a membership drive whereby the post hopes to become a larger factor in behalf of the many ex-service men in and around Denver. At the last national convention at New Orleans, auxiliaries were organized that fathers and grandfathers may join. There is also an auxiliary for women, which makes a mother, sister, wife or daughter eligible to membership. Denver can afford and should have a strong American Legion post, and every encouragement should be given the young men who have taken hold of the matter.
SMITH-GROSS NUPTIALS.
Announcement was made Tuesday of the marriage of Miss Coila Gross and Mr. Hugh B. Smith. Both are well known in the younger social circles and have a host of friends who wish them all happiness in their matrimonial venture.

The December meeting of the famed Bon Viviant Club took on a far different turn than merely a regular monthly dinner affair. Wesley Frierson was the club host and Wesley knows how to entertain in royal style, as was evidenced by the banquet he tenered his fellow club members at his residence, 2456 Lafayette street, Tuesday. The beautiful house and table decorations and elegance of service surpassed any event given in Denver for years. The "Bons" are planning a fancy dress dancing party as its annual event, and needless to say, Denver's social smart set will turn out in gala array for this exclusive event.
MRS. IDA TAYLOR FLEMING PASSES AWAY AFTER BRIEF ILLNESS.
Denver citizens were greatly shocked Saturday afternoon to learn of the death of Mrs. Ida Fleming, wife of Mr. Sam Fleming, a substantial and worthy citizen of 2656 Humboldt street. But few knew of her illness and the news of her death cast a visible gloom over church and social circles, where she was so well and popularly known. She leaves a husband, son, two daughters and two grandchildren to mourn her loss. One daughter, Mrs. Arthur Mae Mason, arrived in Denver a few hours after her mother had passed away. Funeral services were held from the church of the Redeemer Wednesday morning at 9:30. High requiem mass was sung by Fr. H. E. Rahming. A large profusion of floral offerings attested the high esteem and love in which Mrs. Fleming was held.

THE CHRISTMAS
PICNIC
By Mery Graham Bano
(©, 1938, Westera Newspeper Union.)
aE young people were going to
give a Christmas plenle on the
day after Christmas, They had all
decided that it would be no end of
fun to take thelr skates and have a
tong day of skating, and to have their
dinner out of doors.
They felt it would be particularly
good for them, too, to get away from
the sweets and holiday food they
would constantly be nibbling at if
they were home.
So on the day after Christmas they
went on the Christmas plenie and skat-
Ing party.
‘They all had so much enthusiasm.
Everyone was going to take part. Evy-
4 eryone was going
VP : to help and assist
Nw) 4 ef and work,
Vig But when {tt

a seemed hungry

i Piente loomed in
bys a view.
Cline, = ae The gay and
‘ debonalr young
man who called himself the life of the
_party and who had come garbed in
_knickerbockers and sport sweater was
suddenly quiet. He sald he was not
much good at making a fire. Instead,
he seemed to admire himself and his
handsome legs and to ignore the open-
ing of the baskets. To be sure, he
looked well and his attitude sald quite
plainly :
“The man who invented knickerbock-
ers, without a doubt had good looking
legs himself, and perhaps an enemy
with particularly ugly ones, but he cer-
‘tainly didn’t get the better of me.”
But Jerry, who was always a good
fire builder and upon whom the work
always rested, despite previous pro-
‘tests that it would not this time, was
‘the one now who built the fire.
| And the rest of the typical pfenic
‘people did the usual things, ‘There
‘was the man who talked about build
Ing the fire so as to keep the smoke
from blowing in the faces of every-
‘one present,
‘There was the girl who spoke from
lime to the in alarmed, sudden sen-
tences, wondering in turn If the salt,
pepper, bacon, sugar, milk or coffee
pot had been forgotten, 4
‘There was the girl who was obylous-
ty helpless.
‘There was the girl who kept asking
what she could do to help, who would
have recelved any suggestions with
a very bad grace.
And there was Milly, who really un-
did the packages and cooked the ba-
con and saw that everyone had enough
to eat.
‘The man who sald most about not
being hungry inquired with more than.

‘the picnic was a (eames y 4

the others gave “S==SAS «desman
heir eating services.
| And after the plenic was over and
“Jerry was helping Milly as she washed
wf the dishes in the boiling water Jer
‘cy had saved In the old big kettle, he
ald :
“Milly, you're the most unseilsh girl
(ve ever known. Different from ey-
oryone, I've always thought so. And
lon't you think we'd make a good
‘eam—nhot only on a piente but through
| ite?”
_ And Milly answered:
“That's very much the way I've
hought about you, Jerry.”
So that you see, Milly and Jerry
veren't so much cheated at that plc
‘ile as you might have thought. In
‘act, they had a very merry Christmas
ee
At the Christmas Party.
‘The wise hostess wishes to prevent
‘er young guests from pairing off and
emaining with their escorts the entire
‘vening. To change partners in a
tovel and entertaining way in the
‘ourse of the evening, have ready a
rele of green cardboard divided into
is many sections as there are girls
wesent. Write a girl’s name in each
lvision. Now cut out a large red
yasteboard star, with a white arrow
yainted on one of the points, and
‘asten this star to the center of the
ardboard circle by means of a large
‘un. Each boy in turn comes up and
spins the star, and the maiden whose
iame 1s Indicated when the white ar-
cow comes to rest Is accorded him as
partner. Of course, {f a girl's name
has alrendy been chosen the boy must
spin again. ‘This spinning star will
result In much mirth for the young
people.

Just received 1,000 of the season's latest styles of Woolens for your inspection and selection.
THE long hill glistened in the winter moonlight like a frosted cake. The road that ran down it like a silvered ribbon, reaching across the railroad track and on through the valley, lost itself in a shimmering haze of snowy whiteness. The wind, as if afraid of awakening the sleeping town, had hushed itself into stillness, waiting along the way and under the shadows of the quiet trees for the signal of dawn. The scene was an invitation to a sport now largely displaced by rushing motor cars, but then one of the chief delights of the Christmas season. The bobsled of those days and nights was the pride of owners and the prize winner of competitions. The annals of the Slater Hill race registered triumphs as real and momentous as those of any race track.
The moon had watched with an expectant eye until ten of the clock and was about to retire under a passing cloud in disappointment, when the clamor and shouting of an approaching crowd renewed its spirit. From a side street they came, merry lads and lasses, with those of later years who had not forgotten how to be young. Soon the head of the hill was crowded with competitors and the air rang with the bustling preparations for the first race.
The sleds of that time were no ordinary affairs. Large enough to hold from four to six passengers, they rejoiced in significant titles and all the beauty and comfort that their maker's art could put into shape, paint and upholstery. When loaded and on a
A
steep and icy road they were swift enough to distance the wind, and, uncontrolled by bit and bridle, they could not be stopped before reaching the foot of the incline. There was thus enough of adventure in their trips to furnish the tingling excitement that kept out the winter cold. The good-natured rivalry, too, gave interest to the sport.
This year there was a special reason for the gathering, for Tom Atkins, having received a Christmas present of a sled of the latest style and named "The King of the Hill," had been boasting that the title was a just one and arousing all the determination that the others had to prove him wrong. The "Dart," the "Racer," the "Dauntless," the "Peerless," and others as glorious were eager to beat the untried and vaunting newcomer.
The first race was inconclusive, for Atkins got a false start and tipped his load over into a snow bank. The second and the third races gave the laurels to the "Dart" and the "Peerless," respectively, and left Atkins' heart in his boots; but the fourth attempt ended with "The King of the Hill" a rod ahead and with its owner's chin protuberant and uplifted. Then time went by with varying fortunes until the concluding and deciding contest. It was agreed that the winner of this final should be crowned the king of the hill indeed, with none to dispute his right.
Amid the hubbub of these last arrangements no one had heard the distant whistle of "The Flyer," as the night express for Boston was called, and the competing sleds dashed away down the long descent without a thought of danger, nor, until half way down, did any danger appear, but then the locomotive's headlight flashed around the curve and upon the crossing, now but a short distance away, with a baleful and threatening glare. The other sleds, somewhat in the rear, were steered into the roadside snow or left to take care of themselves as their riders rolled off, but "The King of the Hill" kept on, in seeming ignorance of the imminent collision. Not until the warning blasts of the engine whistle seemed to startle him into action did Atkins move to save himself and his load. Then, with a wrench of his steering gear and a sturdy leg-sweep, he brought his sled about, throwing it over upon its side and upon its frightened load as the train swept by, almost brushing them on its way.
It was what the barber called "a close shave," and what Atkins called "as good as a mile," but the boys called it a victory and rode Atkins home on "The King of the Hill" with their full endorsement of the title. The old hill is still there. It glitters yet in Christmas moonlights. But the boys and girls of the bobsled time have grown old, the later generation has new toys, and the glorious fun of Slater's Hill is but a memory. A pleasant memory it is, though, and that is a brave, bright spot in it that registers the night when Tom Atkins got a double score in beating both the racers and the train on his "King of the Hill."

CONSTANT CARE—NOT LUCK
Human history and experience have taught us that many persons believe that a head of naturally long and beautiful hair, a healthy scalp and a lovely smooth complexion come from luck, but they do not. Constant care and the frequent use of preparations of proven merit are the secrets.
