YOUR DUTY TO REGISTER! American Citizenship has Duties as well as Privileges To be presented by the People's Sunday Alliance at Hall, 18th and Champa streets. Thursday, October 4. VOL. XVIII YOUR American A dangerous condition of public sentiment exists among the Negroes of this city and state. Weary of the strife of politics and disgusted with the results of their loyalty and sacrifice, a large percentage have declared their intention not to register nor vote. It is a source of regret to us all that circumstances should be such that the personal interest in government is lessened for us, that we look forward to general good merely, in this section of the country in which we live; but were that all, it still remains our duty to cast our votes for what we believe to be right. Politics rules this country. Revolutions are accomplished at the polls. Our sentiments on questions of the general good as well as our own must be expressed by ballots. When in the southern states, by legislation and maladministration, our people are deprived of their right to vote, the righteous sentiment of the country unites with us in denouncing the crime against American citizenship. The attempt to put in practice there taxation NOTICE. NOTICE. "The Darling of the Regiment," was written and staged by Mrs. Isabel Howard Stewart. It is a military drama and consists of four acts. The first and second acts occurring in America. The third and fourth acts occuring in England. Synopsis of the play is as follows: An English Lord flees from his home in company with a young woman, in order to save himself from the clutches of the law. On arriving at the camp they find to their astonishment the daughter of To be presented by DENVER, COLORADO, FRIDAY, SEPT. 28, 1906. without representation, puts to shame all who believe that the founders of the country were right when for that they severed allegiance to the British king. The good faith of the southern states when they accepted the amended Constitution in their reconstruction, is disproven by their evasion of the spirit of the Fifteenth amendment. But right is right and will prevail. Vardaman and his reactionary doctrine in Mississippi have meant twelve new banks for the Negroes of his state, with equal progress in other lines. With such an answer to race proSCRIPTION from our southern brethren shall we of the north and east, give up the fight, when the weapons of war fare are in our hands? Shall we voluntarily withdraw from participation in politics and yield what we vehemently demand for the race in southern states? Full registration and intelligent voting for our own and the interests of the majority of people is the only way the woman with whom he is escaping, who is known as the "Darling of the Regiment." Lord Merrifield is enrolled into the army and proves a valiant soldier. Lieutenant Gregory becomes jealous and suspicious of the new recruit on the account of the woman with whom he is fleeing, and seeks to do him harm. After Lord Merrifield is honorably discharged Lieutenant Gregory follows him to his home in order to get his father sign requisition papers for his return. In disclosing the identity of the woman, the father recognizes that it is the one in which we can show the qualifications which Negroes have for the franchises. Rights are inherent by law, but they need to be asserted. Passing from general observation on registration and voting, we direct attention to the pledge of the Republican party made two years ago that it would, through its representatives in Congress, enact such legislation as would make the Fifteenth amendment more than mere words if the enforcement of it under present provisions would not prevent disfranchisement because of race. THAT PROMISE HOLDS GOOD FOR TWO YEARS YET! The courage of the President is unquestioned, and The Statesman does not believe that he will allow the party to fall in its promise. A Republican senate will probably be maintained; and we Negroes of the north, where our votes do count and do hold a balance of power, must throw our strength to the accomplishment of that legislation. We cannot command even a hearing by staying at home and that he has so cruelly neglected. He finally meets her and all become reconciled with the exception of the lieutenant, who is driven from Lady Elizabeth's home in the presence of the characters. The cast of characters are: Colonel Reynolds, Darling of the Regiment; Lieutenant Gregory, Lady Elizabeth; Sergeant Major Campbell, Orderly; Lord Merrifield, Vincent Charlotte. Mrs. Stewart has secured as patrons Rev. and Mrs. W. W. S. Dyett, Rev. and Dr. J. E. Ford, Dr. and Mrs. P. E. Spratlin, Dr. and Mrs. J. H. P. Westbrook, Hon. and Mrs. J. W. Jack NO. 9 not voting. But by concerted action, intelligent voting, and strict accord with all that makes good citizenship, we can hasten the emancipation of our southern brethren from political slavery. REGISTER! VOTE! LABOR FOR RIGHT AS YOU SEE IT! ALLY YOURSELF WITH PROGRESSIVE AMERICANISM! YIELD NOT AN INCH! GIRD ON THE WHOLE ARMOR OF FAITH AND FIGHT FOR JUSTICE! Local conditions are not always to our liking, but let us set our face to the front, give our best to the cause of our perfect emancipation. This can be done only by a participation in politics that is honest, intelligent and persistent. The political status of which we would be equal sharers, was accomplished by the white race only after long and arduous struggle. Surely we can maintain our stand when the sacrifice is so much less on our part and the prize so peerless. Don't give up! The battle is to him that endures to the end! son; Mesdames Josephine Cassells and Julia Hubbard; Mr. and Mrs. G. Savage, Mr. and Mrs. James Travick, Mr. and Mrs. Charles White, Dr. E. L.

Fine Line of Cigars Design for Traitor's Stationery. A gentleman called last week at a large stationer's to order some notepaper with a heading.

"I know what I want," was the prompt reply; "I am a tailor, and the paper is for my customers." Force of Habit. Ciss-I hear that when Mr. Hambone, the tragedian, proposed to Miss Goldie, he paused when half-way through. Floss-Waiting for the applause, I suppose. "Isn't he drinking a good deal 'y?" "Yes. He says he's had a lot trouble and he's drowning it." "Well, he'll have a lot more frown." GERANIUM EASY TO GROW. Also is One of the Prettiest of AR Window Plants. All beauty is common, in a sense, and I would as soon object to the sky and the sunshine because the beauty of them is for the enjoyment of everybody, therefore "common," as to seek to disparage a flower because it was one that everybody could grow and enjoy, writes Eben E. Rexford in Lippincott's. Anyone can undertake the culture of the geranium with reasonable certainty of success who can give it a good soil to grow in, water enough to keep it always moist at the roots, a sunny location and freedom from frost. Insects seldom attack it. It has a healthy constitution that gives it immunity from the diseases so common to most other plants, and it will reward you for the care it receives at your hands by making your window bright with bloom as few other plants can. Therefore you make no mistake in selecting it for your window garden. But be sure to get plants that have not been allowed to bloom during the summer. Such plants have exhausted themselves, and, nine times out of ten, they will insist on taking a rest during the winter months. The ideal geranium for winter use is the plant which has been kept steadily growing during the summer, but has had every bud removed as soon as seen. Such a plant will bloom profusely from January to June. Electric Furnaces Expensive. According to the Scientific American, the cost of running an electric furnace capable of producing the extraordinary heat of 5,000 degrees is $0 cents a minute, $48 an hour, or about $500 a day.

DESCRIPTION ALL TOO PLAIN Guilty Sailor Men Recognized Word Portrait at Once. The four old captains of Salt Marsh, after carefully studying the attractions offered by the mind reader who was to hold forth in the town hall, decided to attend the entertainment. "We can go right from the postoffice when mail's in," said Capt. Gregg, most adventurous of the four, "and there doesn't seem to be any need to consult our women folks, so far as I know. Most likely we shan't stay more'n a few minutes." They were all agreed as to the advisability of this plan, and the next evening saw them seated in the last row, with interest written on their faces. After a few preliminary exhibitions, which caused the scattered audience to gasp and wriggle, the mind reader said, in a solemn tone: "There is one person in this audience who has been thinking ever since he came in here of a person who is perhaps the strongest influence in his life—small, determined looking woman, with eyes that snap and—" At this point the four old captains rose as if moved by a single spring and filed from the hall. When they reached the safety of the steps, Capt. Gregg turned to the others and spoke in a hoarse whisper: "Which one do you suppose she meant?"—Youth's Companion. Average Wage In the matter of wages there is a marked divergence in the different sections of the country. The average of the North Atlantic states is $459 per worker. In the North Central states the average is $448. The lowest wages are paid in the Southern states—$334 per worker in the South Atlantic states. The Western states show the highest average, $556.

The reports of the officers were the most encouraging in the history of the company. More work was done last year and the results are the most gratifying thus far. The patenting of the property is in progress and there is no longer any possibility of the company being embarrassed by litigation of any kind. During the year many have visited the property and have been astonished by the businesslike air surrounding it. The resumption of work is about to take place and inasmuch as a drift is being worked and shipments about to begin, the present series of stock, which is on the market at 25 cents per share, will not remain long at that price. The Golden Chest mine is one of the few in which the true fissure vein appeared in the earliest workings and continues throughout. A cash offer has been made for the company's holdings and been refused. The directors elected are: Rev. John E. Ford, J. W. Jackson, Dr. P. E. Sprattlin, J. R. Lewis, C. A. Franklin, H. W. Williams and G. C. Sample. The president, J. R. Lewis, and the secretary, G. C. Sample, were commended for the able manner in which they conducted the business of the company.

FORD'S HAIR POMADE Formerly known as "OZOMIZED OX MARROW" STRAIGHTENS KINKY or CURLY HAIR that it can be put up in any style desired consistent with its length. Ford's Hair Pomade was formerly known as "OZONIZED OX MARROW" and is the only safe preparation known to us that makes kinky or curly hair straight, as shown above. Its use makes the most stubborn, harsh, kinky or curly hair soft, pillable and easy to comb. These results may be obtained from one treatment; 2 to 4 bottles are usually sufficient for a year. The use of Ford's Hair Pomade ("OZONIZED OX MARROW") removes and prevents dandruff, relieves itching, invigorates the scalp, stops the hair from falling out or breaking off, makes it grow and, by nourishing the roots, gives it new life and vigor. Being elegantly perfumed and harmonious, it is a toilet necessity for ladies, gentlemen and children. Ford's Hair Pomade ("OZONIZED OX MARROW") has been made and sold continuously since about 1891, and label "OZONIZED OX MARROW" was registered in the United States Patent Office, in 1891. In all that long period of time there has never been a bottle returned from the hundreds of thousands we have sold. FORD'S HAIR POMADE remains sweet and effective, no matter how long you keep it. Be sure to use Ford's as its use makes the hair STRAIGHT, SOFT, and PLIABLE. Beware of limitations. Remember that Ford's Hair Pomade ("OZONIZED OX MARROW") is put up only in 50 c.c. size, and is made only in Chicago and by us. The genuine has the signature, Charles Ford Press, on each package. Returns all others. Mail directions with every bottle. Prices only 50 c.c. Sold by druggists and dealers. If your drugstress or dealer cannot supply you, he can procure it from his jobber or wholesale dealer or send us 50 cts. for one bottle postpaid, or $1.45 for three bottles or $2.50 for six bottles, express paid. We pay postage and express charges to all points in U.S. A. When ordering send postal or express money order, and mention this paper. Write your name and address plainly to The Ozonized Ox Marrow Co. (None genuine without my signature) Charles Ford Press 70 Wabash Ave., Chicago, M. Agents wanted everywhere. STRAIGHTENS Pueblo Department Pueblo Department Churches, Society Political and Personal Events. We first wish to notice the annual conference held in this city last week, with Bishop A. Grant presiding. From able leaders we are to gain hope of fruitful results, and such is he. The conference, as a whole, from a spiritual and intellectual point of view, can be said with justice, very good, giving due credit to the able, capable visitors, Rev. J. C. Calwell, of Missouri conference and others. We desire to say, in short, as space and time will not admit us to give entire justice to this conference and its participants, that the general obligation to supreme love to God and man was clearly made known in all of its transactions. Dr. J. C. C. Owens, his faithful wife and christian officers and members deserve all the praise for their preparations for the conference, as they did with credit to themselves and to the comfort and satisfaction to the visitors. We desire to say also, that the citizens of Pueblo fully appreciate the importance of an annual conference and crowned the event with success. Editor Nick Childs, of the Plaindealer, in his five minutes talk to the annual conference brought forth much applause and favorable comment. His talk was full of logic and real food for his hearers and the ministers as well. If his counsel is taken in good faith and carried into practice the race at large will be benefited. The Democratic administration is showing but little wise judgment in following the dictation of one or two of their inferior office holders in regards to dealing with legitimate businesses that comes up before them worthy of wise and considerate actions. They have apparently won out by the affiliation of a few colored votes, but it was not on account of that set of men of the colored race that bows to democracy, but to a local grievance at that time and which has been overcome. It will be seen in this coming election that the democrats will miss the colored vote by 400 which they cast at the last election. Their bulldog tactics in dealing with small things hardly noticeable and of no importance, and the desire guarding of rights, principally of the African race, will cost them dear. The four colored men who are by service allied to the Democrats, like their white brother are divided, each one constitutes the whole thing as they put it. Each knows all and each knows nothing. It is entirely too late for the intelligent negro to be mistreated by Democratic misrule, white-washed. We all understand why we are Republicans and why we are going to vote the Republican ticket this fall without the counsel of anyone. We need not the advice of those who unjustly limit our rights to engage in business as other citizens. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Lawyer W. B. Townsend returned from Colorado Springs, where he had been in attendance as attorney, for alas Poor Tonn in the District Court. In the District Court in this city two of the opposite race are happy over the success of his pleading in their behalf. Let the young Republicans of this city organize for in them we must look for leaders later on. When the Pueblo edition of the Denver Statesman shall have been completed and arranged, we will then be prepared to give the many new beautiful edifices due notice, together with the many handsome cottages owned by our citizens of this city. The sister churches assisted nobly in helping to care for the annual conference and Dr. J. C. C. Owens and wife fully appreciate the kindness extended. Later on we will be able to give social events, all that will be-desirable. We will have an agent in Bessemer. We are not yet prepared to give the young lady's name, it will appear in next issue. We mean to compete successfully with all advertising mediums-do printing of all kinds, cards letter heads, bill heads, hand bills, notices of marriages, in fact, all kinds of notices. We only ask you to call on us before the time is up when you must have them. Give us plenty of time and we will deliver the goods satisfactory at the same prices. Until our office is ready we have arranged to have all news, printing, etc., left Mr. Jones' grocery store, 130 North Union avenue. This place is very convenient for both north and south, just across the river. Call there and leave your society news. In the next coming week there will be three Republican clubs in working order. Arrangements are being made to have some good speaking. We are happy to say that no beer or cigars will be needed. The issues of the campaign with us are strong enough to demand our every attention and to solicit our deepest concern to bring success to the Republican party. Let every colored Republican do their duty. See that you are properly registered, then vote accordingly. A-Cent-a-Mile Rate to New Orleans and Return.

His funeral occurred Wednesday morning from the home, undertaker Gilmore being in charge. Interment was at Fairmount. He was the father of six children who, with his faithful wife, mourn his death. His last hours were watched with solicitude by a large circle of friends in this city for he had made his home here for many years. He was universally respected and his funeral was attended by many of his white neighbors among whom he made his home. He was a property owner and a thrifty citizen and his loss can hardly be soon forgotten. Flowers in profusion softened the sad rites, religion gave him its consolation, sympathy soothed the bereaved family, but the absent one can only be emulated, not replaced.

Jim Crow seats in cheap theaters attract no small patronage from our people and it is as little as we can do to fill the hall on next Thursday and show that we would appreciate talent of our own. Reports of the race troubles at Atlanta written by whites ascribe but little of the present trouble to the initiative of our people. It will be well to await the true statement of which will undoubtedly be given out by negroes who are there. The whole affair is due to the recent political contest in which appeal was made by one candidate to the prejudices of whites against blacks. Alas for America! That men can rise to power by such despicable means. Vardaman in Mississippi has been answered by twelve banks owned by negroes and our answer in Georgia will be no less practical.

It is lively and easy riding, very durable and lined inside with a special quality of rubber, which never becomes porous and which closes up small punctures without allowing the air to escape. We have hundreds of letters from satisfied customers stating that their tires have only been pumped up once or twice in a whole season. They weigh no more than an ordinary tire, the puncture resisting qualities being given by several layers of thin, specially prepared fabric on the tread. 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.

Gray—"I'm sorry to hear that. What's the trouble?" Smith—"Well, you see, during the courtship stunt she used to tell me how strenuously she loved me, but we had no sooner got spliced than she gave up her $10 a week job as typewriter thumper. That goes to show how much you can bank on a woman's love." Were Prejudiced. It is known that a jury, theoretically, is composed of a set of unprejudiced men with open minds, still there may be occasions when a slight personal feeling invades their ranks. Such was evidently the thought borne in upon the tailor who, rising to state his case, and having declined the services of a lawyer for reasons best known to himself, looked over the jurymen and then turned to the judge. "It's no use for me to tell you about this case, your honor," he said, defectedly, "not unless you dismiss that jury and get a new lot. There isn't a man among 'em but owes me something for clothes." Never Lived There. "Where did you learn the Lord's Prayer?" asked an Atchison Sunday school teacher of a little girl. "I used to live in Topeka," said the little girl, "and I learned it there." "Now let me hear you say it," said the teacher to the next little girl. "I don't know it," said the next little girl; "I never lived in Topeka." Kansas City Journal.

Our Phone is Main 7905 In last week's issue there appeared an editorial upon the attempt of a second telephone company to secure a franchise in this city. In the light of the statements made therein, it will be interesting to read the conclusion of a contributor in this week's correspondence. He says that in eastern cities business men, largely, have to put in both kinds of phones, both the odl and the new, and the dissatishe old and the new, and the double expense, the difficulty of quick reply from the confusion over which rang, are greater than any profit which comes from the double service. At best, it is an evil and is to be tolerated when it comes not something to be sought after. Furthermore, the fact soon becomes established that telephone operation below a certain price is profitless and the Bell company will not cut rates below where the double service could be secured at the same cost as the single service costs. Philadelphia, Cleveland, St. Louis and Kansas City druggists have combined in agreeing that competitive telephone service really burns the candle at both ends, and unite in denouncing it. There is much sound truth in this contributor's comment, for we learn already that the Denver druggists have volunteered their services and influence to keep out of the field a new system. Taking a case of which we are competent to judge: The Statesman now has a phone, Main 7905. All persons who have news for us and who can use phones, are accommodated under present conditions. Then, why should we take out a new phone at $225 a month and have to pay in addition for the old? Surely no one is foolish enough to think that enough new people can be secured by a new system to make it pay us over and above the business we get over the present system. There is good reason for the suspicion that this proposition is of a kind with other franchise grants like the Lacombs lighting plant, in that it is intended for sale to the present company, not for operation. The people are chary in these days of franchise agitation about giving away valuable privileges to be sold for individual profit. --- THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO.

Grant presided over the greatest session of the Colorado annual conference of the A. M. E. Church in Pueblo last week. The growth of population in these western states has been kept pace with by the connection. Many of the same ministers who have held up the blood-red banner for years are still in the ranks. New men have been enrolled from time to time. But through it all the spirit has prevailed of doing good for God, the country and the race. Not alone in membership has progress been maintained, but in the finance of the various departments, $2,027 was raised, of which $1,396 was dollarmoney. This is $100 more than last year. The banner conference of the connection has always been here, and now that the high water mark is so high, the reputation of being the best is the more secure. It was a grand and inspiring sight to watch the deliberations of these Christian heroes gathered under their chief from the burning sands of Arizona on the south, and from the icy hills of Montana on the north; men who have maintained themselves by arduous labor for the six days to preach the gospel on the seventh. It was an inspiration to see that hero of the race, Bishop Grant. No less great in heart and mind than in stature, chosen of ten thousand, honored and respected not alone in the church of which he is a member, but revered and heeded in this country and across the water. From his lips came wisdom, from his life example. There may be conferences larger in number, with more men of training and ability, but in sacrifice, in the obstacles overcome, Colorado conference stands pe-eminent, and with Bishop Grant as leader constitutes the grandest band of Christian heroes in the country.

Her classes continue to exceed her expectations and many are denied entrance. Real merit in scalp treatment has made her a wonderful reputation. Mrs. Ada Green says of her: "For five months I have used Mrs. Perkins' hair preparation and during that time it has kept my hair and scalp cool and clean and stopped the hair from falling out. It also promotes a new growth of hair and softens and gives a rich gloss. I am so grateful for the great good it has done me and I earnestly recommend her to others." Mrs. Perkins can be reached at 4630 West 35th avenue. Mrs. Watkins has been entertaining her sister-in-law, Mrs. Williams of Atlanta, and her daughter, Mrs. Thomas. They returned home Tuesday.

"Field and Stream" notes that one child in five in this country spends the years between the ages of ten to fifteen at work in coal mines, factories or similar places. Education is at a standstill; there is no recreation in field or forest; nothing to develop mind or character, everything, on the contrary, to hinder or distort their growth. At fifteen the unhappy little creatures, dwarfed in every direction, pass into circulation. In a few years our citizens' roll will be one-fifth made up of such. In his installation address President Roosevelt said many fine things about our duty and our dawning destiny to lead the world. Make any allowance you judge fit for possible over-statement in the figures we quote, the picture will not be greatly relieved. For there is the other and worse side of it that child labor is one, and only one, product of the ```markdown ``` At East Turner Hall This event promises to season.

They are a worse blot on the roll than the children, become adults, will be. In what are we to lead the world? Humanity of conduct? Uselfish disregard for gain? How long does a nation's public policy remain in advance of its average private standard. These children are slaves who derive no shadow of benefit, nothing but harm, from their slavery. Morally and mentally dwarfed men and women, they are prematurely fathers and mothers whose children register and reflect the moral and mental status of their parents. We once held these "truths to be self-evidence: that all men are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." But perhaps the signers of the Declaration of Independence were not thinking of children in those momentous days!—New Century Path. Fine Feat of Engineering. Philadelphia is noted for many daring engineering feats. One of the most daring, perhaps, was when a four foot water pipe was moved a distance of twelve feet without interfering in any way with the water service. It is said that no other country offers an exact parallel to this interesting and great undertaking. To realize the remarkable nature of this feat it must be understood that 1,200 feet of pipe, weighing, with the water, about 60,000 tons, was moved out of line 31 feet and then lowered 12 ft. --- I don't know where I'm going but I'm on my way to the FIRST GRAND MASK BALL of the season given by WILLIAM KNIGHT be one of the grandest of the PRIZES AMOUNTING TO everybody is coming out to have on.

When it stops singing you feel a pain somewhere about you, and then you slap where the pain is. The mosquito will bite animals, but prefers the human face. It never does any good to swear when a mosquito bites you. It doesn't help you a bit, and it irritates the mosquito. There was a man in South Chicago who was bitten by a mosquito seven years ago while he was working in his garden, and he has ever worked in a garden since. Chicago Tribune.
