TRUTH IS MIGHTY! The Deception Practised by Negro Politicians a Hindrance to the Race's Fight for Justice. VOL. XVIII TRUTH IS The Deception Pr Politicians a Race's Fight MISREPRESENTATION IS A STUMBLING BLOCK TO OUR PROGRESS. It is a grave mistake to ascribe all the misfortunes which Negroes in Colorado endure politically to deliberate injustice by white political leaders. They have fallen short of their duty, but have had excuses a plenty in the slothfulness, the sycophancy and the downright misrepresentations of Negroes who pretend to be spokesmen for the race. No better illustration of what prevents us receiving due consideration than that which happened last week. At the invitation of someone eight Negroes met in a small office room last Wednesday night and after some discussion and a dissenting voice from one and silence on the part of another, passed resolutions endorsing the candidacy of Lawyer J. H. Stuart for nomination on the Republican legislative ticket. This meeting is above criticism insofar as the rights of the individuals composing it are concerned; it is equally free from criticism so far as the eligibility of Lawyer Stuart; but what shall be said when it is represented through the columns of the daily press that a big meeting was held and many persons voted for the resolution of indorsement? What shall be said when a Negro paper in whose office the meeting was held, that can not plead ignorance of the facts as the white press could, comes out and says that many --- State Historian & Natural History Society THE S DENVER, COLOR. MIGHTY! actised by Negro Hindrance to the for Justice. DENVER, COLORADO, FRIDAY, SEPT. 7, 1906. persons were at this meeting? Press agents have liberty to paint facts in gaudy colors, but it is pure falsehood to convert the assent of six persons and the presence of eight into a monster meeting of indorsement. It is of no avail that those who were present were honest; it cuts no figure that Stuart is an able man; unless he runs the race on the square he will be disqualified, the whole people whom he claims to represent will be branded as parties to the deception and we will be back even further than we are now, if such could be possible. It is a sorry fact, but none the less true, that this meeting is the kind of thing that have been resorted to by the black Judases who have been given consideration in politics as the representatives of the Negro race, not for the good they did us, but, as one white officeholder expresses it, "Because they do dirty work no one else will do." The many persons who are honest in their preference for a colored candidate owe it to their race and their own good intentions to see that they be not used in such a way. A public meeting of endorsement is salutary, its influence on party councils is great, but a star chamber session that pretends to represent masses of the people looks suspicious. It would free the promoter from suspicion if he would tell the truth about the meeting and add that its work was endorsed by many who did not attend. But to pad the list and represent --- all as being present is not honest. If Lawyer Stuart is a candidate for the Legislature he may rest assured that this paper, the people at large, and civic organizations will give him a square deal and that no such short cut to prominence is necessary. Press agents are for fakirs, not for men of approved standing such as he has. The men who make up party councils have a fair knowledge of the happenings among Negroes, and he owes it to us that our hopes for representation on the legislative ticket be not injured by ill-advised claims for him. It takes but a small excuse for white men to turn down a Negro, and if one candidate comes with such a cloud, who can say what the result will be? WONDER WHETHER HE WILL DRAW THE COLOR LINE. It lightened the black man's burden for one day at least Monday when Gans demonstrated his superiority over Nelson. As a result of race loyalty many of our people are the possessors of suddenly acquired wealth because they bet on Gans, and all feel that clation of spirit that is to the soul what wine is to the body. It was a clean, gentlemanly victory in which the black man set the pace not only in science and ability, but in the finer points that show real manhood. Here's to you, Mr. Gans! You have put the black man back on the map so far as prize fighting is concerned. Circulation 1550 Weekly Guaranteed three times that of any competitor The reason lies in superior news service. This is no re-hash of other papers. NO. 5 HE IS OUR FRIEND. In the present contest over the nomination from the Republican party for the office of governor, the interest and preferences of colored Republicans lean toward P. B. Stewart of Colorado Springs. State Treasurer Holmberg, who is his opponent, has been in politics for some time, but colored people do not know him. He has been no enemy, but so far as we are concerned he might as well not have existed. The time is at hand for active work both by ourselves and our friends. No half-way measures will do, much less cold indifference. Stewart is the one man in Colorado who is close to President Roosevelt, who represents the Americanism that the President stands for, and his private life and his public activities are such as have won for him the respect and admiration of Colorado Springs colored people and their support in his candidacy. Then, again, he will be a most fortunate choice for the party for his part in its unhappy divisions has been small and he can rally the hosts as no one could who has been in the milling. Cast up the merits of the two candidates and then vote for the delegates who will work for the man who will be your friend. In an article in the Trinidad Advertiser, M. Beshoar, president of the Board of Education, denies that Jeff Davis advocated separate schools to him, as was charged by our Trinidad correspondent in a recent issue.

Drake and Sadie Turner, Messrs, J. Banks and Arthur Franklin spent last Sunday in Ft. Logan. W. A. Rice, who was the representative to the grand lodge of Elks from Rice Lodge No. 39, returned to the city Wednesday, after a couple of weeks' absence in Brooklyn. He was signally honored by having been given the grand deputyship for Arkansas, Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Oklahoma and New Mexico. He was further honored by being elected grand esteemed loyal knight by acclamation. He was even mentioned for grand exalted ruler. Mr. Rice is an active Elk and his hustling qualities which have been so much evidenced here were quickly recognized by the grand body. The white elks have been making a fight for the suppression of colored Elkdom, but through the fight made in the New York courts the colored fraternity has been given legal standing and now all subordinate lodges are protected by the grand lodge that met in Brooklyn. This puts a quietus on the efforts which were started by the white Elks who met here in July. Wear Artificial Eyebrows. "Aritificial eyebrows have been made occasionally for years past." said a wellknown wig maker, "but lately they have grown very popular. A face without eyebrows lacks expression or character, and many women realize this. Others, having lost the eyebrows through fire or sickness, wear artificial eyebrows until the new ones appear. Others, again, wear artificial eyebrows for a time, only to become tired of and reject them. "A well-made artificial eyebrow will escape detection, as a rule, but such an eyebrow is too delicate to stand rough usage, and soon wears out or becomes unsightly. Many people grow weary of the recurrent necessity and expense of replacement. But the pretty woman who once wears artificial eyebrows, like the man half of whose mustache has been destroyed in some manner, finds a real friend in the artificial eyebrow." The artificial eyebrow originated in Paris, the home of artificial beauty adjuncts, and, it is stated, they are more popular among women than men. 2527 Larimer street.

How many persons remember, asks the London Times, that from 1834 to 1840 George Hancock's steam coaches ran at a profit between Paddington and the city? Is it realized generally that Gottlieb Daimler, the true father of the petrol engine, had worked in England as well as in Germany be fore he patented, in 1884 only, the Otto gas engine and fitted It in 1886 to his bieycle, which may be regarded at the first motor car driven by an explosion engine? From this date Progress abroad was of remarkable rapidity, while in England none was possible until in 1895. Evelyn Ellis imported a four horse power Panhard and Sir David Salomons a Peugot. There followed a modest demonstra- tion at Tunbridge Wells of these two vehicles, a De Dion steam car and a petrol bicycle, and then, after some agitation, the light locomotives act of 1896. In fact, from a modern point of view, Gottlieb Daimler is the par ent of the infant motor car and Henry Chaplin is {ts sponsor in England. A Serenade.

An archeologist points out that the hat band in the modern man’s hat can be traced to a fillet which in ancient times held in shape a simple piece of cloth. Sometimes this fillet was tied in a bow behind, the tails of which survive in the Scotch cap, the sailor hat and the bishop's mitten. A little vow inside in the lining of the hat is a survival of a lacing which kept the lining in shape, or possibly it dates back to a time when a kat was made by putting a string through holes in a flat piece of leather and by drawing {t together for a crown, She Had Dressed in Haste. A smartly-frocked young woman created a small-sized sensation among diners at a Broadway table d’hote specialty house the other night be cause of her bewitching beauty. Her visibly proud, but homely escort had assisted the fair one to divest her fur coat, and both immediately engaged in engrossing conversation. It was ob- served that folks seated at adjoining tables in the rear focussed their gaze on milady'’s back. The X-ray silk waist, which was one of the extreme peek-a-boo brand, was intended to be buttoned at the back. As a result of the evident haste in dressing, the garment was only fast- ened at the collar and waist line, re vealing a broad expanse of flesh tint.

Douglass Entertains look back over the years of toll and struggle through the battles I have fought, and the victories which a kind Providence has permitted me to win than any other hymn in our language. I have been hidden in the cleft of the Rock of Ages by a power higher than man, the storms have beat upon that rock, the thunders of man's wrath have been hurled against it, but it has protected me, kept me, saved me from the tempest and the passions of men." I am sure Mrs. Matthews, who still lives in New York, will remember this remarkable incident, for we both commented on the earnest manner with which Mr. Douglass expressed his faith in an overruling Providence, as well as on his skill as a singer. His voice, a rich baritone, was well modulated and pleasant to hear whether in conversation or song. (To be continued.) The Cowboy. The cowman's idea of a good time is measured by the amount of money it costs him. When he goes to Kansas City with a trainload of stock he generally has a good time, says the World's Work. A good time means champagne. Champagne comes high; it is unquestionably genteel; therefore the cowman buys it at all hours. A cowman's breakfast order in a leading Kansas City hotel cafe was: fried catfish and champagne. Work Only Under the Whip. In a recent lecture at Gresham college Dr. Symes Thompson, in speaking of the effects of climate, remarked that it had become necessary to sublet English government work in Egypt because it was found that the natives would not work only when chastised, and it was a rule that a British officer must not strike a native. Conflicting Temperance Methods In Austria it is held that the sale of bottled liquors must be stopped, as it encourages "home drinking" and intemperance. In this country the sale of bottled spirits is encouraged in an effort to do away with saloons. It is difficult to combine the remedies for intemperance into one harmonious whole. The Time to Retire. Ex-Senator Jewett of St. Louis ninety-four years old. Someone asked him not long ago how old he thought a man should be before retiring from business.

(Written Expressly for Franklin's Statesman.) "Circumspection in calamity; mercy in greatness, good speeches in assemblies, fortitude in adversity; these are the self-attained perfections of great souls."—Hitopodesa. If I were asked to describe the character of Frederick Douglass, I would employ the language of the East Indian philosopher above quoted, which is a faithful portrayal of the character of one of the noblest, greatest and ablest men of color which this or any generation of Negroes in America has produced, or will produce for a long time to come. I knew Mr. Douglass from my earliest manhood, having first met him in Washington, D. C., in the early 70s, where he was conducting a newspaper, The New National Era, at that time the only race publication of any considerable prominence then published at the capital by black men, except the "Colored Citizen," which was edited by my amiable and versatile friend, John P. Sampson, now one of the pillars of the A. M. E. Church. The Colored Citizen was a good newspaper. Its editor, Dr. Sampson, being a man of education and not a little practical experience, could do no other than to produce a creditable sheet. Dr. Sampson was learned in all the mysteries of phrenology and was a very feeling man. At the age of fifteen I was attacked with a bad case of the itch scribendum, and one of my fugitive efforts which was published in a Washington daily paper came under the notice of the great Douglass. Meeting me one day in front of his office in Eleventh street, near Pennsylvania avenue, where the Star office is now located, he spoke to me encouragingly about my letter to the paper referred to—the old Washington Republican, and invited me to contribute to the Era, which I consented to do, but before I could make up my mind to write such an article as I thought would be acceptable to such a famous journalist as Mr. Douglass confessedly was, the Era expired and my chance was gone. In all my contact with Mr. Douglass, covering a period of about twenty years, he was ever the courteous, genial, good-humored and good-natured gentleman, with always a kind word of encouragement for every young man privileged to know him, who was struggling to rise superior to his condition. He was pre-eminently the friend of young men. I was not always in accord with some of Mr. Douglass' public utterances, notably his po THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO sition on the exodus question, wherein he advised the colored people of the South, who were then as now, the victims of southern white prejudice, "to occupy the vantage ground." In view of the conditions then prevailing, I did not think this was good advice, especially when Mr. Douglass himself had set the Negro the example of running away from oppression, and I entered a demurrer in vigorous language. Some years after the publication of my articles, which appeared in the Conservator of Chicago, then edited with ability by Ferdinand L. Burnett, Esq., I was invited to visit Mr. Douglass at his home in Anacostia called Cedar Hill, and accepted the invitation. When I arrived at Cedar Hill, after climbing a number of steps to reach the splendid house in which Mr. Douglass lived, he was sitting in a big rocker on the broad veranda of his house, and behind his chair lay a pair of huge dumbbells about the size of cannon balls, with which he exercised daily. As I approached the house he said to a lady who sat near him: "Ah, here comes my scrappy friend, Brother Bruce," and laughed good-naturedly, seeing that I was about winded from climbing the steps. He received me with rare graciousness and kindness and insisted that I take the chair which he had been occupying, while he sat on a rustic settee near by. After I had rested a bit he invited me to "browse around the place," as he put it, with him, and I was agreeable. The first place to which he took me was his famous "den" at the back of the house, where he was wont to hide himself from intruders when there was something on his mind which he wished to put on paper. Here was the famous desk which contained valuable documents bearing on the John Brown raid at Harper's Ferry, which his son, Lewis, had obligingly abstracted and destroyed before the officers of the law sent to search his house in Rochester could reach there. When they did arrive and broke open this desk they found nothing among Mr. Douglass papers which could connect him with the John Brown raid. The next place visited was the orchard, where there were some fine fruit trees, apple and peach, and I came away with both my coat pockets filled with juicy peaches which Mr. Douglass himself pulled and offered me. He was as full of life as a boy of sixteen. On another occasion when I visited Cedar Hill I found a congenial party of young and middle-aged ladies and gentlemen of both races, who had been challenged to play a game of croquet with Mr. Douglass. He was an expert at the game, and I became one of the party after I got my breath and a WESTERN UNIVERSITY.

Matthews, now of the White Rose Mission of New York City, was one of Mr. Douglass' house guests at the time. She had committed authorship a month or so prior to her arrival at Cedar Hill —written a book, the title of which, I believe, was "Aunt Lindy, a Story of the South," and, like all famous people, had gravitated to Washington, where literary lions and lionesses are admired and soon forgotten. She, too, was one of the players. I cannot recall the names of the others who took part in the game. Mr. R. R. Colbert and lady, and a young white lady and gentleman were also of the party. When the game was called, by common consent Mr. Douglass led off, using the mallet with which he worked as a caulker when a slave in the shipyards of Baltimore. He played with the usual skill, and he seemed to enjoy the discomfiture of his antagon.sts whenever they shot wide of the wickets in their zeal to catch up with him. Once he caught me napping and sent my ball wrizzing across the beautiful lawn in the rear of his house, and chuckled with delight as he placed his foot on his own ball to administer the blow which "put me out of the running," as the racing people say. We played six games with Mr. Douglass, and never won a game, though we tried hard singly and in combination to beat him; but he wouldn't permit it. We all had to acknowledge that he was an expert croquet player and he received the acknowledgment with a smile which seemed to say: "I know the game of croquet pretty well myself." After defeating us all, he invited us to seats on the front lawn under the umbrageous shade of stately trees and where delightfully cooling breezes were wafted from a broad expanse of water below, tributary to the Potomac. Here he regaled us with stories of his travels and experiences abroad, both before and since the rebel war; of his meeting with Daniel O'Connell in Ireland, Lord Brougham in England; of a great meeting at which he spoke in Manchester, and the sympathy which his speech aroused for the black man enslaved in America. It was a thrilling recital and for nearly an hour held us spellbound. Presently we broke up into groups of two and three and strolled around the front lawn admiring the beautiful landscape. Mr. Douglass, Mrs. Matthews and the writer found themselves after a walk of some minutes quite some distance from the house, and Mr. Douglass suggested that we sit down in some cool spot for a few moments. We were near the entrance to the spacious grounds and a little to the right there was a secluded spot under a huge shade tree, to which we repaired and sat down on the soft green grass beneath it. Mr. Douglass after a few moments' silence, wanted to know from each of us our favorite hymn. Mrs. Matthews said hers was "Nearer, My God, to Thee." I told him mine was "Abide With Me." "Well," said Mr. Douglass, "both of those are pretty hymns. 'Nearer, My God, to Thee' was written by a Unitarian, strange to say, a sect which is said to be not as close to the Master as some others who are said to be closer; it is a very beautiful hymn indeed. 'Abide With Me' was, I believe, written by Lyte, but is an adaptation from Troyte's chant. I have heard it rendered by a surpliced choir in England many times, and I must confess that it is not to be despised. There is in the music of the Church of England something that appeals to the angels of our better nature and compels reverence and respect; it is educative rather than emotional. My favorite hymn, the one that has given me the most comfort in my declining years., is 'In Thy Clerft, O Rock of Ages." And as Mr. Douglass concluded the sentence he began to sing this hymn to us softly and with much expression and feeling. He sang while we listened, two verses, and said: "This hymn means more to me, now that I Continued on last page. DENVER DOINGS.

The season of 1859 was remarkable for the first appearance in opera of Adelina Pitti. This new and youthful prima donna, the youngest daughter of Catalina Barilli, under the direction of her kinsman and master, Maurice Strakosch, came forward at the New York Academy of Music Nov. 24 in the title role of "Lucia di Lammermoor." She was then but 16 years old, but had already learned to manage her voice, a flutelike, flexible soprano, with extraordinary skill and taste, and capable critics at once recognized in the debutante "one of those rare singers who appear at long intervals on the musical horizon, to revive not only the hopes of managers but the enthusiasm of the public." This prediction had quick fulfillment. After a short initial engagement in Philadelphia Mile. Patti, piloted by Strakosch, embarked on a concert tour which ended at New Orleans, whence she sailed for London, where she may be said to have fairly begun a career which, like her art, must long remain in lyric annals. Thereafter for upward of forty years she held first place, and during the greater part of that time she was not only a sweeter but a better singer than any other woman in the world. Her name lends a golden ending to any record of the early days of opera in America.—Lippincott's.

That "Holding Back" sensation commonly felt when riding on asphalt or soft roads is overcome by the patent "Basket Weave" tread which prevents all air from being squeezed out between the tire and the road thus overcoming all suction. The regular price of these tires is $8.50 per pair, but for advertising purposes we are making a special factory price to the rider of only $8.50 per pair. All orders shipped same day letter is received. We ship C.O.D. on approval. You do not pay a cent until you have examined and found them strictly as represented. We will allow a cash discount of 5 per cent (thereby making the price $4.55 per pair) if you send FULL CASH WITH ORDER and enclose this advertisement. We will also send one nickel plated brass hand pump and two Sampson metal puncture closers on full paid orders (these metal puncture closers to be used in case of intentional knife cuts or heavy gashes).

Ask your Postmaster, Banker, Express or Freight Agent or the Editor of this paper about us. If you order a pair of these tires, you will find that they will ride easier, run faster, wear better, last longer and look finer than any tire you have ever used or seen at any price.

If the Colorado law is what law ought to be, it would be no great task to secure equality at least be- fore the law. It is all rot that a ca- terer for public trade can discriminate whenever he chooses, else how comes it that no such plea avails in states where we do get service in public places. There is a so-called civil rights law, but it does not offer much hope or it would have long ago been ap- pealed to for righting this wrong. Justice of the Peace Grant Hudson was denounced in a resolution by the People’s Sunday Alliance for the color prejudice which he has exhibited in his trial of Negro offenders against the law and his bias toward those who have in- jured us. He will be easily remem- bered as the justice who aided and abetted Stidger in his clearing of Car- penter, a white man, for killing Shafer. We do not know what ambitions Hud- son has or how strong his political al- liances are, but in case he does secure the nomination for any office, it will be up to Negroes to vote for his oppo- nent. Just keep adding to your list of friends whom you can afford to give aid and comfort to, but do not neglect to have your black list handy for fel- lows of this stripe. There is no unc- tion in a party nomination that can wash away their crimes against us. Knife them with a vengeance! Go one further and brand the Negro as a trai- tor that excuses and palliates our ene- mies! The business league has closed its session in Atlanta and adjourned to meet in Topeka next year. We con- gratulate our eastern neighbor on its selection as the meeting place of this grand body. Possibly it would be bet- ter to congratulate Topeka on the big- hearted and progressive citizenship that makes such a selection possible. No feature of the efforts that Ne- groes make in competition with whites in business is more significant than the occasional preference that we show for service rendered by whites, and at the same time the unswerving loyalty which they have for their own. Only last week in connection with the kill- ing of Bennie Wilson, the white press of the city took occasion to manufacture THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. a lie out of the whole cloth in relating how Q. J. Gilmore, the colored under. taker, was in company with the mur. dered girl the night before at a dance at the Mecca cafe. First of all, Gil: more can establish by affidavits that he was not with her at all and, seo ondly, there was no dancing or music at the Mecca. The avidity with which whites seize upon any occasion to rid- icule and crush our struggling busi nesses should shame the Negroes who ever find reason for preferring their service to our own, RELATED OF PURITAN BOYS Youngste:s Were So Mischievous im Meeting-House “Pues” Had to Be Built. ft @ppears in various quarters that the Puritam fathers had troubles thelr owm. In the book entitled “He realtary amd Early Environment of Joan Willtams,” the author says chat t Roxbury, Mass., in ite early settle- ment, as everywhere, boys were prone to mischief, and special rules were made for their beneft. In 1658, when the meeting-house was repaired, the sew galleries were set aside as seats for the boys of the con- Bregation, Here this element could be herded under the eye and rod of the tithing-man and within earshot of the Preacher. With all this, however, trouble was brewing. Before long several people com- plained that they could not “sit in the meeting-house to their edification by Teasou of the disturbance the boys Made in the galleries.” This eom- plaimt reached the town meeting; and the selectmen were directed to con- sult with the elders about removing the boys, and cooping them up in soma place to be built expressly for this purpose, or doing “anything to rem- edy this evil.” Exactly what steps were taken to remove the boys and the evil so grave- ly confronting the town {s not known, but when John Williams was eight years old a new meeting-house was built. Im this structure provision was made for the boys on some part of the main floor, Some years later a yote was passed for “pueing the meeting- house,” and the ople were given “liberty to build pues round the meeting-house, except where the boys do sit.” My this action it appears that the Bey question had been satisfactorily solved by corralling that element in @ome nook which was now entrenched Ogainst the invasion of pews.
