THE FULL DINNER PAIL The Peace and Prosperity of Colorado Demand the Re-election of a Republican Administration and the Defeat of "Reformers" VOL. XVIII THE F The Peace and a Republican Upon the outcome of the coming election rests in a large degree the prosperity of the state for the next two years. The Statesman does not favor voting on political questions or upon candidates from a mere sentimental view, and so in supporting the Republican ticket this year we feel that we have made a choice which will be best for the continued prosperity and peace of our state. Brining the matter down to a narrower and more personal view, the vilification and misrepresentation of the Negro as the chief campaign argument of the Democratic party in Georgia, certainly makes us prefer even supine friendship to active enmity. The Democratic platform is replete with promises of the most sweeping reforms; denunciations thunder through it of everything from the Supreme Court down to the smallest detail of government. If we did not recall bitterly the experiences of the national government with Democratic incompetency at law-making, we would still be loathe to commit ourselves to this drastic program of the Patterson machine, for has not part of it turned state's evidence and branded the platform as a delusive snare to catch votes? Then there is the Lindsey Democracy that is having rather a seasick time. The judge is a nice little man, but an independent move is short lived at best. Negroes start in anything at the bottom and have to have time to get any standing. Lindseyism won't live long enough for us. So it comes down to why we should DENVER, COLORADO, FRIDAY, OCT. 5, 1906. support the Republican ticket since there is no reason for support of the Democratic party either in its simon purity or in the mongrel. The good sense of the state may be submerged for the while by yellow press distortions of fact; the demagogue may thrive on the human tendency to change with or without reason, but time bring out all the more clearly the advantages which we have enjoyed during two years of peace in this storm-tossed, union-ridden state, and reports from all parts indicate that prosperity is not to be sacrificed for the problematical performances of Democracy. Six years ago Mark Hanna as campaign manager for the national Republican party, secured a most overwhelming majority for McKinley. He had one slogan, and the American people were too sensible to be led off by vacuous promises of Democracy and exchange prosperity for experimental government. So now in Colorado "the full dinner pail" pleads for the reelection of a Republican administration. No Coloradoan but knows the labor difficulties with which the state has been hampered. Life and property have been held at hazardous risk and only the militia could insure any kind of safety. Now all has changed. The bitterest enemy of the Republican party does not deny the results. Democracy, unable to remove the monumental evidence of a business-like, equitable administration of the state's affairs, must sling mud in a campaign of vilification. It seeks to deface what it cannot destroy. The personnel of the Republican ticket is good. Candidates have been chosen who have capabilities for the offices they seek. Not so many promises appear in the Republican platform, and since a few good laws are all that one Legislature can pass, there is every probability that the party will maintain its good faith with the people by carrying out its platform to the letter. The Colorado Fuel and Iron Company will give employment to as many Negroes as apply in its various departments in this state, and has now in the steel works at Pueblo the largest number ever on its pay roll; the beet sugar factories are offering Negroes good wages for cultivating beets on company land, with a bonus of the land itself after so long a time. Denver has employment for every Negro who really is seeking work; so why should we give up a prosperity which is for the sake of electing a blatant lot caught two years ago with the stolen goods on them? Why should we seek to add prestige to a party that uses us for political argument only, even going to the extreme of misrepresentation as has just happened in Georgia? We would not accuse Colorado Democrats of blackening white men's faces and having them commit assaults on white women so as to lay charges of criminal assault on Negroes as Hoke Smith did in Georgia, but if Colorado sends a delegation to Congress it will echo the sentiment of the dominating southern faction. If we send a Republican Legislature to our state house and it elects a Republican senator, we NO.10 may count on one more vote for the fulfillment of the Republican national platform of two years ago. This year has witnessed for the first time a colored man in a position of authority in political matters in Colorado, with workers to hire and pay, with plans to make and carry out for the good of the Republican party. It has found colored business and professional men awakening to their duties as well as privileges in politics. All this is preliminary to a fairer share in the after-election results than has yet come to the Negro. A thoughtful review of the arguments to be made on the various sides and an understanding of our conditions will convince Negroes of their duty at this election. With our industrial and our political future hinging upon the success of the Republican party, we must register. We must work for victory as never before. Vote! Vote for the "full dinner pail." Vote for the full enfranchisement of the Negro! SPEAKERS ABOUT TO TOUR THE STATE.

D. 1906, there will be submitted to the qualified electors of the State of Colorado the question of amending the Constitution of said State. The authority for submitting such question is found in Senate Bill No. 93, which is, in words and figures, following, viz.: (S. B. No. 93, by Senator Taylor.)

All elections by the people shall be by ballot, and in case paper ballots are required to be used, every ballot shall be numbered in the order in which it shall be received, and the number recorded by the election officers on the list of voters opposite the name of the voter who presents the ballot. The election officers shall be sworn or affirmed not to inquire or disclose how any elector shall have voted. In all cases of contested elections in which paper ballots are quired to be used, the ballots cast may be counted and compared with the list of voters, and examined under such safeguards and regulations as may be provided by law. Nothing in this section, however, shall be construed to prevent the use of any machine or mechanical contrivance for the purpose of receiving and registering the votes cast at any election, provided that secrecy in voting be preserved.

Sec. 2. Each elector desiring to vote on such amendment shall deposit in the ballot box a ticket whereon shall be printed the words "For the amendment to section 8 of Article 7, permitting voting machines," and "Against the amendment to section 8 of Article 7, permitting voting machines," and shall indicate his approval or rejection of the same by placing a cross opposite one or the other of said groups of words.

ANTAGONISM OF THE RACES Bishop Grant Deplores Impediments to Our Progress The News of Hutchinson, Kansas, says” Bishop Abraham Grant of Kansas City, Kansas, who is here to preside over the Kansas conference of the A M. E. church, was asked last night, as a leader of his race, for his opinion in regard to the race conflict just ended at Atlanta, Georgia The bishop, weighing his words with much care “and deliberation, said “I am surprised beyond expression at such an incident occurring. 1 lived in that city four years and am satis- fied that tome of the best people in the country, Loth white and colored, reside there. There are four institu- tions for higher education of colored people and one theological seminary to train miristers. There is consider- able wealth and many own komes among our people, and 1 thoght it was the inst place in the South where the peopie could be wrought up to the polnt where they would indulge in the methods inentioned by the Associated Press dispatches. “Tam heartily sorry at the occur rence for several reasons. First, tt will cause many of the colored people to sacrifice their belongings, which they have been years accumulating, and move to other sections and com mence life over, and i will discourage many others and keep them in a state of unrest. Still others will live in a state of dread and fear, where such conditions exist, and I do not believe it possible to develop brave, fearless and all-around Americans where they are conceived, born and reared under such influences, and this is the kind of people America ought to take pride in rearing for vsefulness in years to come. “Again, the example in Atlanta will influence other places of less impor- tance, and they will attempt to follow, and the Almighty alone can tell where these troubles will end “The horrible crime of Springfield's lynching of three innocent men and the murder of three men in the custody of the court at Salisbury, North Caro- lina, are fresh in our minds and now to receive this news from Atlanta is sufficient to make one apprehensive as to the future of the nation.” “What about the conduct of Negroes attacking white women?” “Every decent colored man in the country is in favor of aking the law for all such cases just is rigid as pos: sible, and the enforcement of the same. It 1s anarchy and lawlessness that we fear. It is dificult for some of us to believe that all the cises being re- ported are true; if 80, American civil- {zation is in some way at fault. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. “While on Bermuda islands [ learned that there are 10,000 Negroes and 5,000 whites in that small country and no one has ever heard of the unmentios- able crimes so often reported in our country, being committed, nor had a lynching ever taken place. In Barba- does there ure 117,000 Negroes and 17,- 000 whites, and at Freetown, Sierra Leon, on the west coast of Africa, are 30,000 civilized natives and 1,000 whites, and what is true of the Ber- mudas is also true of Barbadoes and Freetown. Now, if under American civilization, the Negro is worse than under any other, kindly tell me who is responsible? However, be that as it may, I do not wish to say one word to agitate and intensify the feeling, for 1 think too much of that has been done already. I believe the speeches made in Georgia and the abuses indulged in by the speakers with reference to the disfranchisement of the Negro in the last twelve months has had much to do with preparing the participants for the conduct of Saturday evening. I fully agree with the Christian Advocate, published in Nashville, Tennessee, by the M. E. Church, South, in the follow- ing: “ ‘Antagonism of the races in the South will work untold harm to both, but the greater harm to the weaker. Anything that separates the people south in feeling, purpose or sympathy should not be indulged in. Friendly re lations and mutual happiness are of first importance to both races. We must live side by side in this country and should be neighbors.’ For this reason every man owes it to himself to locate where he can earn a living and when he has earned it, receive a reasonable compensation for the same; to reside where he can give his chil- dren the very best advantages of an education that they may be useful to God, humanity and themselves; to live and die where he can enjoy his right of franchise, guaranteed by his govern: ment, and jast, where, if he has occa- sion to come before the courts of the land he may enjoy the opinion that even justice will be meted out to all alike.” IDEAL DRESSMAKING.

So much depends upon the earnest and united effort of the Negro in poll- tics in the northern states to offset the dreadful restrictions under which we suffer in southern states, that it be- comes a duty of our women to take the fullest share possible in the voting. There is a modesty, or at least a reti- cence, upon the part of some women to take |!) part, saying that {ft is not a woman's place. We do not intend to argue the matter. But so long as the opportunity is given for voting, and some do take advantage of it, it will mean much toward showing our feel- ings and our appreciation of the fran: chise if we will, all of us, women as well as men, register and vote. Lay aside any moral bias you have, register and yote. It is not everywhere that women of the race have the chance to register their protest against disfran- chisement as in Colorado, so let all do their whole duty on Monday by regis tering and then voting on election day, TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN. Editor statesman Your editorial in last week's paper urging that your readers register, so as to be in a position to vole November 6th, was sane, timely and reasonable. If the colored voters of Colorado ever accomplish any political prestige or needed legislation it will be done by their exercising their rights of fran- chise. At the polls we express our preferences, At the polls we approve or disapprove political policies. At the polls we reward our friends and en deavor to punish our enemies. If we fail to register we are no better polit- ieally than our friends in the South, who are disfranchised because of their color. We are allowed our franchise here; they are denied theirs. We ac cuse and condemn southern whites for their unamerican action, and at the same time we refuse to register, stay away from the polls, and do nothing to show that we resent the treatemnt ac- corded our people in the South. We have our local fights and just com- plaints. We are Republicans and must fight for our rights in the Republican party. We accomplish little or noth. ing by leaving the party. Stay in the fight. Cowards run. Stay in the party THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. and fight the men who wrong you Once out of the party and it will be a generation before we ever regain the confidence of the party leaders. Every man who deserts his party, right or wrong, is branded by his party and in- variably lives long enough to see the folly of his action. In Colorado this fall we clect three congressmen and one Senator. Let them all be Repub- licans. President Roosevelt will need a Republican Congress to indorse and enact legislation to cut down the rep- representation: of the southern states for disfranchising Negroes. Register and thea you can vote for Republican congressmen, if you want to strengthen the Presidents hands. P. E. SPRATLIN.. PAUL JONES AND RUSSIA. Navy Was In Poor Condition in Daye of Great Admiral. A letter from St. Petersburg, which Was printed in the Gazateer and New Daily Advertiser, an English publica- tion, of July 8, 1788, contains an in- | teresting reference to John Paul Jones and shows, also, that it was not alone | in its war with Japan that Russia has found its navy unprepared. Jones at | that time had left the American navy, -had served the French for a time | and then had entered the Russian ser- | vice. The letter in question was d«ted |June 10, 1788. It says in part: “Though everything has been hurry and confusion here for several weeks past, the fleet has not yet sailed, nor is it, Indeed, as yet ready; some of the large ships, from seventy to eighty guns, at Kronstadt, have not 500 men on board, and of those half at least are landsmen, wholly unacquainted with naval affairs “The vessels on the gulf at Archan- gel and other places have been stript for sailors, who are arrived here; but even these have by no means equaled the demand for the men of-war fitting out, which amount to twenty-three sail, of which seventeen are of the line, from sixty-six to one hundred guns, of which last there are two, on board one of which, Le Catherine, Ad miral (now Comte) Greig has his flag | “Paul Jones, by which name the American is known here, has not re- (Signed his command; the majority of the British officers refuse, however, to | Serve under him; nor has any step yet Sem taken to accommodate the differ. euce.” —_—_—_——<—_!_—_—_.

PROFIT BY A SISTER CITY'S EXPERIENCE. Something like two years ago a second telephone system began operations in Los Angeles, with one main and several branch exchanges. Contrary to the promises of the promoters the rates charged were inadequate to operate an efficient manual system. So eager was the directorate to make good their promises of dividends that they seized upon the only apparent (?] relief from their operating expense by starting to introduce automatic service in some of the exchanges. The public's attitude upon this point is clearly set forth in the statements of some four hundred people who were interviewed as to whether extension of the automatic service to all of the exchanges would be feasible. Of this four hundred some three hundred had had experience with the automatic service in various portions of the city, and raised protests against the extension of the automatic system to the business territory. An analysis of these interviews shows that 216 of them stated that they found the service so often out of order as to be a great detriment in the conduct of their business; sixty-six of them stated positively that it was slower than a manually-operated system, and forty-six went on record as to the claims made for the secrecy of the automatic service not being well founded; the balance of the 400 gave varying replies which it is difficult to classify, a considerable number of them having had no experience with automatic service, and very few express themselves as favorably inclined toward it. These are tremendous percentages considering the number of people interviewed; and mark! no question was raised in these interviews as to the disadvantages of two systems, or of a second telephone system in particular, but merely as to whether or not automatic service was equal to that given by a manual system where operators are employed. Los Angeles is a city of about the size of Denver and it would be hard to find reason why our California sister's experience would not be duplicated here. It is not that we should let well enough alone, but that the proposition of the new franchise seekers is too full of loop holes to warrant giving them what they want. Denver is going to be a city of 300,000 in a few years. It cannot afford to practically split its effort by in- . At East Turner Hall This event promises to season.
