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. The citizens of the various cities of Colorado will be visited by speakers of note in the course of the next few days who will expound the facts in the campaign so that he who runs may read. Crater of Mauna Loa. The crater of Mauna Loa, in the Sandwich islands, the largest volcano in the world, is twenty miles in diameter. Sometimes the stream of lava issuing from it is fifty miles long. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. Personal Briefs, WILLIAMSBURG, COLO. The Magnet mines was shut down a few days last week on account of the death of W. J. Canty, the oldest and only son of the superintendent, J. M. Canty. The young men, in company with three other young men, went out eight miles from Florence deer hunting. After they had reached the mountain, about 4 o'clock Tuesday morning, a shot was heard and a cry for help reached the ears of one of the party and by the time the young man was found life was extinct. A shot from the gun he carried had done the work, the shot having struck just below the knee cap of the right leg, passing up through the thigh, severing the main artery. He bled to death in a short while. His remains were shipped to Oskaloosa, Iowa, for burial. Mrs. J. H. Starkling was sent to the county jail to await the November term of the District Court to answer to the charge of attempting to poison her husband. J. H. Starkling. Mrs. Morrison of Renich, Missouri, arrived here several days ago. She is very much pleased with the little city of Williamsburg and expects to be here for some time. Mr. John Irons left last Tuesday for the southern fields, where he expects to stop for some time. Rev. J. W. Evans and wife entertained a few friends September 26th, it being their sixth wedding anniversary. Those present were as follows: Mrs. William Taylor, Mrs. Rachel Harris, Mrs. Charles Williams, Mr. J. H. Starkling and Mr. John Harris. After a few hours of pleasure and partaking of the dainty refreshments all went home happy, wishing Rev. and Mrs. Evans many successful years through life. On the account of the rainy weather a number of guests from Canon City and Florence could not be present. There were three arrivals in our town Sunday, as follows: Messrs. William Evans, Ed. Bailey, and Morgan Huet of Denich, Missouri. Rev. Evans is planning to have a place of worship in the near future, as Williamsburg is beginning to have so many newcomers. The gospel is needed. Mrs. John Harris and little daughter is expected here by Wednesday. LARAMIE, WYO. Rev. W. L. N. Baker made a flying trip from Cheyenne and preached an able sermon Sunday evening. At the Argo this week: Rev. W. L. N. Baker, David Robinson, William Gants, John Henderson, Mr. and Mrs. Douglas. Rev. Landell delivered a very interesting sermon at Castle hall Monday evening.

The most brilliant of the elaborate social functions given in this city this week was the reception given by the Carnation Art Club at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. John Newman, in honor of the visitors. The house was most artistically decorated with autumn leaves and beautiful flowers. The chandeliers were covered with red silk shades and smilax, giving the hall and parlors a most charming effect.

That there shall be submitted to the qualified electors of the State of Colorado at the next General Election for members of the General Assembly, for their approval or rejection, the following amendment to the Constitution of the State of Colorado, which when ratified by a majority of those voting thereon shall be valid as a part of the Constitution, that is to say: Section 8 of Article 7 of the Constitution of the State of Colorado shall be amended so as to read as follows: Section 8. 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. Sec. 3. The votes cast for the adoption or rejection of said amendments or either of them, shall be canvassed and the result determined in the manner provided by the laws of the State for the canvass of votes for representatives in Congress.

FORD'S HAIR POMADE Formerly known as “OZONIZED OX MARROW” SO 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 gambourna, harsh, kinky or curly hair soft, pliable 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 dan-drug, 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 performed and harmless, it is a botled necessity for ladies, gentlemen and children. Ford's Hair Pomade ("OZONIZED OX MARROW") has been made and sold congiously since about 1881, and label, "OZONIZED OX MARROW", was registered in the United States Patent Office, in 1881. 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 get Ford's as its use makes the hair STRAIGHT, SOFT, and PLIABLE. Before of imitation, remember that Ford's Hair Pomade ("OZONIZED OX MARROW") is put up only in 50 et. a.p.s. and is made only in Chicago and by us. The genuine has the signature, Charles Ford, French on each package. Refuse all others. With directions with every bottle. Price only $5 cts. Sold by drugriests and dealers. If your drug-gist or dealer can not supply you, he can procure it from his jobber or wholesale dealer or send us $8 cts. for one bottle postpaid, or $1.60 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 Ozerized Ox Marrow Co.

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. I lived in that city four years and am satisfied that some of the best people in the country, both white and colored, reside there. There are four institutions for higher education of colored people and one theological seminary to train ministers. There is considerable wealth and many own homes among our people, and I thought it was the last place in the South where the people could be wrought up to the point where they would indulge in the methods mentioned by the Associated Press dispatches. "I am heartily sorry at the occurrence for several reasons. First, it will cause many of the colored people to sacrifice their belongings, which they have been years accumulating, and move to other sections and commence life over, and it 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 usefulness in years to come. "Again, the example in Atlanta will influence other places of less importance, 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 Carolina, 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 making the law for all such cases just as rigid as possible, and the enforcement of the same. It is anarchy and lawlessness that we fear. It is difficult for some of us to believe that all the cases being reported are true; if so, American civilization is in some way at fault. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. While on Bermuda islands I learned that there are 10,000 Negroes and 5,000 whites in that small country and no one has ever heard of the unmentionable crimes so often reported in our country, being committed, nor had a lynching ever taken place. In Barbadoes there are 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 Bermudas 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 I 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 following: "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 relations 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 children 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 government, and last, where, if he has occasion to come before the courts of the land he may enjoy the opinion that even justice will be meted out to all alike."

True enough. We may accept the above as undeniable facts. But what has that condition to do with the relation in which men ought to stand with each other? The relation in which men stand to each other is essentially the relation of equality; not equality of condition, but equality of right. Now, then, we are prepared to ask the question, if we are sons by adoption into the American parties and politics, by whom were we adopted? Of course, we must admit that it was by the Republican party. It is the duty of the Republican party to recognize reciprocity and benevolence between man and God and not between certain races and God. Here is the ticket. Let us vote it: Governor—Henry A.

We wish to deny the statement to the effect that two or three pages of the Statesman were bargained for only during the coming campaign, and instead wish to add that we mean to make Pueblo to the Denver Statesman THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. what Denver is, and more. We want a business list, not for nothing nor for fun, but for financial gain to all parties concerned. We will try to help those who help us. The white business man has a right to patronize the colored newspaper as far as advertisements is concerned, and those who do in this city I believe the colored citizens will appreciate and patronize them. We buy almost as much as any other nationality of all lines of goods, and the best in the market. On the corner of First and Santa Fe avenue Messrs. Sandford Jones and John Gordon have opened up one of the most beautiful saloons and pool rooms in the city.

With this firm will be Messrs Will Minor of Portland, Oregon, and Jim Booze of Pueblo as mixologists. At a convenient time they will carry in the Pueblo department an ad. worthy of notice, along with that of Mr. Jones, Sam McClure, Prince Coltry and Bert Cunningham, Sam Hankins, Berry Keggle, Prothro, Ben Mitchel and Galaway.

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 $4.80 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). Tires to be returned at OUR expense if for any reason they are not satisfactory on examination. We are perfectly reliable and money sent to us is as safe as in a bank. Ask your Postmaster, Banker, Express or Freight Agent or the Editor of this paper about us.

Our Phone is Main 7905 TO THE WOMEN OF THE STATE. So much depends upon the earnest and united effort of the Negro in politics in the northern states to offset the dreadful restrictions under which we suffer in southern states, that it becomes a duty of our women to take the fullest share possible in the voting. There is a modesty, or at least a reticence, upon the part of some women to take part, saying that it 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 feelings and our appreciation of the franchise if we will, all of us, women as well as men, register and vote. Lay aside any moral bias you have, register and vote. It is not everywhere that women of the race have the chance to register their protest against disfranchisement as in Colorado, so let all do their whole duty on Monday by registering and then voting on election day. TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN. Your editorial in last week's paper urging that your readers register, so as to be in a position to vote 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 franchise. At the polls we express our preferences. At the polls we approve or disapprove political policies. At the polls we reward our friends and endeavor to punish our enemies. If we fail to register we are no better politically than our friends in the South, who are disfranchised because of their color. We are allowed our franchise here; they are denied theirs. We accuse 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 treatemn accorded our people in the South. We have our local fights and just complaints. We are Republicans and must fight for our rights in the Republican party. We accomplish little or nothing by leaving the party. Stay in the fight. Cowards run. Stay in the party --- Editor Statesman: THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. MS. $1.00 Three months.....50 olorado, as second class mailmatter. 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 invariably lives long enough to see the folly of his action. In Colorado this fall we elect three congressmen and one Senator. Let them all be Republicans. President Roosevelt will need a Republican Congress to indorse and enact legislation to cut down the reprepresentation of the southern states for disfranchising Negroes. Register and then you can vote for Republican congressmen, if you want to strengthen the Presidents hands. --- PAUL JONES AND RUSSIA Navy Was in Poor Condition in Days of Great Admiral. A letter from St. Petersburg, which was printed in the Gazateer and New Daily Advertiser, an English publication, of July 8, 1788, contains an interesting 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 service. The letter in question was dated 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 Archangel 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, Admiral (now Comte) Greig has his flag. "Paul Jones, by which name the American is known here, has not resigned his command; the majority of the British officers refuse, however, to serve under him; nor has any step yet been taken to accommodate the difference."

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.
