irculation 1550----Guaranteed three times that of any competitor THE STATESMAN HONORED IN ITS CHOICE. Religion in this state seems to be of the Sunday-go-to-meeting kind, if a kindly, Christian gentleman like Henry A. Buchtel can not run for governor without stooping from his high plane as a preacher of the gospel. Shame on the man that utters such a calumny on the Christian religion! He would have us believe that it is a good thing to die by, but useless and out of place in the every-day affairs of government. The kind of politics he likes would be the Green county broad daylight and honesty means "toting fair" with the gang. The Republican party is honored in its choice of nominee for governor. No higher compliment could be paid him than the calumnies that cheap aspirants TWO OR ONE? The history of telephone competition, so-called, is now so plain that he who runs may read a warning. An analysis in any of the larger cities where a second telephone system has been permitted to gain a foothold shows that, rather than increasing the facilities of the business man, and reducing this expense, the exact contrary is true. In Philadelphia, Cleveland, St. Louis, Pittsburg, Baltimore, Toledo, Kansas City, and other towns of similar size, an analysis of the telephone directories of the old and new system proves conclusively that from fifty-five to eighty per cent. of the business men are obliged to subscribe for service from both companies. ARGUMENT OF ARGUMENT OF LITTLE WEIGHT. One of the chief arguments of the opposition to Republican success in this state is the friendliness alleged to exist between Republican nominees and the corporations of the state. Inasmuch as colored people and capital are more friendly than poor whites and capital are, such argument is of --- VOL. XVIII for the limelight heap upon him, not for his personal acts but for his calling. If there was a flaw in his character, if his brain was not so well poised and so keen, the people of Colorado would not be treated with the spectacle of a good man and an honored citizen being excoriated because he is a Christian minister. We wish Dr. Buchtel success in his campaign, we wish his administration to show forth that honesty can prevail between governor and governed. We wish the ionists to be answered not now on the rostrum, but after January, when he assumes the reins of the state and gives us an administration that does not merely escape criticism, but one that commands commendation. the argument that the introduction of a second telephone system will compel the Bell company already in the field to reduce its rates to such a point that the service may be obtained from both companies at the same rate, or even less than prevailed when the Bell alone was in the field. That this is not true, and that the expense to the business man is greatly increased may be readily proven by a discussion of the matter with any of the business men in the cities above enumerated. In addition, it will be learned that a further inconvenience results through the annoyance and delay occasioned by consulting two books and answering two bells. Denver business men have done well to keep the lesson so bitterly learned elsewhere. LITTLE WEIGHT. less weight with us than with them. However, it is worth while to consider the objections of Democrats for what it is worth, for, after all, we colored people are interested in the proper and equitable administration of laws and good government, though we receive less of --- ADO, FRIDAY, OCT. 12, 1906. either than any other class in this cosmopolitan government. The great industries of the state are precitably all dependent in some degree upon capital that has come into the state to develop it. The railroads, the mines, the sugar factories and the varied great enterprises are of outsiders; not Colorado backing in the greater part. It is therefore not compulsory for foreign holders to retain interests and foster business in a state that is not friendly. True, the rights of the people here should not be sacrificed for enhancing the value of foreign holdings, nor on the other hand need we expect to keep the full tal among us if we visit it with socialistic restrictions. Life is a struggle at best, and it is little short of inhu- A CHARITY FUND. Charity among Negroes is dependent upon the spasmodic contributions of individuals and churches and upon donations of the white charity associations. It is a shame that this condition exists when there are always Negroes who need assistance. We are amply able to care for our owu unfortunates, or at least have organization and money enough to need but limited assistance from the county and state. To meet this real need we suggest that the churches of this state invest some money in investment real estate, the Earthquakes, floods, tornadoes and every instrumentality that God has will surely visit the perpetrators of the recent atrocities in the South. The mills of the gods grind slowly. But the reckoning must come. The passions that rage without bonds now must be reaped in tears and mayhap in blood. Government is not lightly laid aside. Its restraining hand is right and must prevail at last. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell has come to the defense of Dr. Montgomery in his trouble in the management of the schools of this city. It was charged that Dr. Montgomery substituted names for those given by the superintendent and tried to have them ap- --- ```markdown ``` man and is certainly criminal to appeal to caste prejudices and class distinctions to win a political campaign. Bread and butter is too serious a problem with the average wage earner for it to be right to lead him to endanger them through ill-advised political views. All this is said upon the assumption that Democrats are honest in their anti-corporation talk. We only wish they were. An honest foe is so much preferable to one that stoops to conquer. But if they are honest, they are certainly in suspicious company. Corporation attorneys head the machine, corporation magnates run for office on their doing, the same old sources of campaign money are giving up funds and in short it looks like they are crying "fire" in order to get unobstructed access to the good things of office. income from which would be the nucleus of a charity fund. Pastors and people are right in considering that the first work of a church is to save souls and the showing forth of the true Christian spirit of help for the most lowly and unfortunate will be the light set up for the whole world to be lightened by. A limited sacrifice of energy and money will accomplish this. By all means let us earn the respect of our white neighbors by taking some of the responsibility of caring for our unfortunates off their hands. proved by the board during the absence of Dr. Chancellor, the superintendent from New Jersey, and was caught in the act. Mrs. Terrell replies that such was not the case. She tells Dr. Chancellor that she is worthy of his steel, and if the doctor needs further information, let him doubt Mrs. Terrell. She is a fighter and will not flee from the fire. This we know, Dr. Chancellor will have to stay awake nights to frame a reply to Mrs. Terrell's ingenius defense of Dr. Montgomery. But strong as the letter of Mrs. Terrell was, she admitted that these are days of "storm and stress" in the school situation. But she is able, Dr. Chancellor, you need to understand that.

Aspen is well pleased with her first attempt and the visitors are 8o well pleased that they want the fair held here another year. Professor Carlyle of the State Agricultural school was the principal in judging live stock. He entered thoroughly into the work by explaining the good points of every animal in his class. The forestry exhibit by the national government was a matter of deserved comment from all who visited their display. Mr. J. H. East and W. R. West were Denver visitors; Messrs. Brown and Huggins of Glenwood spent Thursday at the fair. Glenwood sent fully 500 persons up on Thursday, many remain- ing over for Friday's program. Messrs.

William Makepeace Thackeray wrote his wonderful novels with a brain that weighed fifty-one and two- thirds ounces. The brain of the fam- ous physicist Siemens tipped the scales at exactly fifty ounces, and that of the phrenologist Spurzheim weighed forty-eight and three-fourths ounces. Among other notable brains, with weights, were De Morny, states- man, forty-seven and one-half ounces; Daniel Webster, forty-seven one one- half ounces; John Campbell, lord chancellor, forty-seven and one-third ounces; Helmholtz, physiologist, for- ty-six and three-fourths ounces; Na- poleon III, forty-six and three-fourths ounces, and Louis Agassiz, forty-six and three-fourths ounces. Wood Used by Ancient Britons. Present-day Britons and their an- cestors of a very long-vanished past are brought into close touch by the discovery in a large barrow near Leek, in Staffordshire, of some of the wood with which the ancient Britons are said to have dyed their bodies. The wood was found in the form of bluish dust. In the same barrow, which is being removed for building purposes, has been found a funeral urn containing some of the bones of a child, and a stone worked into the shape of a heart. Some of the blue woad has been found before in an- other barrow in the same part of the country. Japanese Flower Lore. In the arrangement of chrysanthe- mums the Japanese guard against feven faults.

Oh, wait for the Autumn Leaf entertainment, given by the Damon Lodge No. 5, K. of P. The first frost of the season. You'll have to hurry. The Richmond Planet, in the discuss discussion of the Atlanta horror, has stood out as of old, the champion of life, liberty and the lofty sphere of American citizenship. Its editorials were among the strongest we have seen in any paper, North or South, and we thank Brother Mitchell for standing up and striking out in this day of sycophancy and cowardice. Mitchell sees that cringing servility has brought nothing but woe to the race; that the more the race "humbles itself before the world," the more it is oppressed, and that the time has come for the leaders of the Negro in the South to stand their ground, either "upon the earth or within its bosom." He calls upon the Negroes to defend their homes and die, if need be, in doing so. This is the spirit with which a man should live and die. Brother Mitchell has not always said those things for which we could give him praise, but we are willing to forget his dereliction now, because he has fought a good fight in the face of the race's greatest calamity. Manhood is his watchword now and he throws down the gauntlet and points to W. E. B. DuBois as the great leader when true manhood is so greatly needed.

The essential fundamental requisite of any system of fire protection is an early alarm, or indication of the presence of abnormal temperatures, even before fire actually breaks out in flames. Prompt indication of fire generally means its early extinction and an audible signal of some sort is the only one that can be relied upon invariably to attract attention. A novel alarm of this class that has been worked out in detail by an inventor, says the Baltimore American, provides for denotating a fulminating charge whenever excessive heat becomes apparent in any part of a mill or storehouse. This explosion attracts the attention of the watchman and leads him to look for the source of trouble and in this way may avert disastrous fires. The fulminate can be disposed in any convenient receptacle, metallic and waterproof if necessary. The detonation is effected by the release of a spring coil, or other resilient member, brought about by the fusing of an alloy which normally holds the spring or striker, or the burning of a combustible bond. One of the features of the device is the ease with which it may be applied to any point, requiring no connection with any wires, pipes or other devices.

Not Always Subtle, but Exceedingly Rich and Fertile. Prof. H. G. Lord, of Columbia, was talking in Philadelphia about American humor. "Our typical humor," he said, "is not, perhaps, subtle. It is too young to be subtle. But it is very much alive, and very rich and fertile. "There is a story about absent-minded people that is. I think, a good VISITORS TO DE Will appreciate the workmanship and mo water used exclusively ORAN C. GOENS 1226 EIGHT Newly Fitted Out. Fine Line of Cigars example or American humor. It runs, in short passages, like this: "A woman put her baby's dirty clothes in the cradle and the baby in the wash tub. She didn't discover her mistake till the child cried when she pinned its left leg to the line as she hung it out to dry. "A man, about to go for a ride, clapped the saddle on his own back. He didn't discover his mistake till he became exhausted with trying to mount himself. "Another man put his dog to bed and kicked himself downstairs. He didn't discover his mistake till he began to yelp and the dog began to snore. "A doctor put a fee in a patient's hand and took the medicine himself. He didn't discover his mistake till the patient got well and he became ill." Anatomy of the Caterpillar. The thoughtless person who carelessly crushes the life out of a caterpillar would probably be much amazed if told that he had crushed an organization that was made up of parts as numerous and quite as interesting and instructive as those of the elephant. And a careful study of the anatomy of this minute and much despised animal has disclosed so many singular and interesting parts as to warrant a quarto volume on the subject. Four thousand and forty muscles have been discovered in the caterpillar, and not only discovered but accurately described. All of which goes to show that, though trite, 'tis true that to the Creator the smallest insect is as important as the largest vertebrate. I. H.

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 such question is found in Senate Bill No. 93, which is, in words and figures, following, viz.: TO SUBMIT TO THE QUALIFIED ELECTORS OF THE STATE OF COLORADO AN AMENDMENT TO SECTION 8 OF ARTICLE 7 OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE STATE OF COLORADO, CONCERNING ELECTIONS AND VOTING MACHINES. Be it Enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Colorado: Section 1. 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 a- 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. When the governing body of any county, city, city and county or town, including the City and County of Denver, and any city, city and county or town which may be governed by the provisions of special charter, shall adopt and purchase a voting machine, or voting machines, such governing body may provides for the payment therefor by the issuance of interest-bearing bonds, certificates of indebtedness, or other obligations, which shall be a charge upon such city, city and county, or town; such bonds, certificates or other obligations may be made payable at such time or times, not exceeding ten years from the date of issue, as may be determined, but shall not be issued or sold at less than par. 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.

Dailey and Baker were elected sergeants at arms. SPREAD FEAR OF WHITE RACE Crafty Arab Leaders Worked on Ignorance of Followers. There is a passage in one of the ancient Arab histories to the effect that "the white people come from the other side of the sea." This statement has become so distorted among certain tribes of natives of the Sudan that they believe that the white men come from the bottom of the sea. A wily Arab leader once informed his followers that they had nothing to fear from the white men, as they could not live away from the water. The fact that a high official took his bath daily was further considered confirmatory evidence of the submarine origin of the white man. The Arabs, in order to retain their influence over the natives, spread broadcast the report that the white men were cannibals. The fact that they did not eat black men was explained as due to their devilish cunning. They wanted to make themselves strong in the country before beginning their horrid practices, but as they could not altogether do without this kind of food they brought human flesh with them in cans. In west Africa a French expedition had the unfortunate experience of finding a portion of a human finger—cut off, no doubt, by some accident—in a can of meat. Here was fresh and conclusive confirmation of the story, in which the people had almost ceased to believe, and it was only after a considerable lapse of time that the idea was at length eradicated. --- WESTERN UNIVERSITY.

George, 2344 Grant avenue, occurred one of the liveliest and most unique surprises ever happening in Denver. Unexpectedly, several young people assembled and took complete possession of the house, all stiffness and formality were disregarded and everybody had a nice time. The evening was interspersed with repartees witticisms and both sentimental and spirited music. Miss Carper, whose soft and touching voice charmed all, sang one of her favorite selections, "Mine Till Yet," after which Karl Nicols gave a tragic version of a "Miss Ann." Then Miss Arleta Burns gladdened the guests with one of her heavenly solos, which brought as an encore "Happy Heinle." All repaired to the well-selected and sumptuous repast and agreeable hostess, Mrs. R. H. George. Fried oysters, with salted Virginia wafers au gratin, Heinze's mixed pickles, salted almonds, mixed nuts and candies, also assorted African cakes, completed the toothsome delicacies. After which the following toasts were given, Mrs. Edna Nicols-Morgan presiding and seasoning the remarks with timely yet pleasant wit. Mr. Walker spoke on the "Model Housewife"; "My Ideal Home," by Mr. Fullbright; "Domesticity of the Domestic," by Karl Nicols; "A Young Girl's Plea," by Miss Eva Nicols; "If I Were King," by Mr. Dean. Charles Hall replied to Miss Nicols' plea by the laughable response, "A Young Man's 'No'"; after the conclusion of which all sang "We May Go, But We'll Come Back," and finished with THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. "Home, Sweet Home." The occasion was voted to have been an ideal time for the merry makers. Frank Carter visited his brother, Charles, last Sunday, returning at night to his home in Colorado Springs. Mrs. Saunders is visiting her sister in Denver. Mrs. Isabel Steuart, the author of the "Darling of the Regiment," has every reason to feel justly proud of her successful composition and production of her play, as it was greatly admired for her depth of thought, the manner of arranging the different actors in relation to the time, action and place, and also the careful interweaving of the plot and its gradual unfoldment to the pleasing enlightenment of the audience.

"Not looking each of you to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others." Pueblo Department Personal Briefs, Church, Lodge, Political and Society News. Speaking to Mr. J. J. Jennings of the Leader, and Lieut. J. D. Horkless of the Star-Journal, concerning the proposed debate, I desire to say, and will admit that I believe that every other intelligent Afro-American of this city will also agree with me, that, as our means of gratification are various, and are also attended by different effects, there is evidently an opportunity for a choice between them. By declining a gratification at present, we may secure one of greater value at some future time. Debating at the present time is not the question nor issue between the two parties striving with every might and power available to control the state of Colorado. It is the paramount duty of every colored Republican to think and act for themselves upon all matters of vital concern without the formation of ideas created by other nationalities. We, as Afro-Americans, must look through Afro-American glasses, and not through the Caucasian's. Catch my meaning? If we are to gain in any direction of this great industrial world, it is to be gained by inches. The Republican party, fought by all other parties at home and across the deep, rolling oceans, because she had plainly shown an inclination to give to the Negro by inches what will, perhaps, after millions of generations shall have passed away, bring them on a level and par with all nationalities. So let us, each of us, debate in our minds how to get efficient, capable and good men to the front, and then elect them. It seems that we have been blessed with that kind of a selection of officers who are to rule. Now, then, let us see to their election, and then demand in an honest and straightforward manner what we view through the Afro-American glasses to be ours by right of position taken to win the victory. The Pueblo Department manager is very busy with his business list. We will also soon find time to arrange for church and lodge directory.

Where Salvini Takes His Ease. The life at Dievole is self-dependent, secluded as that of some desert island, its resources all coming from within. It is rarely long continued. The padrone has a country house in another part of Tuscany, where the conditions are entirely normal, with manners and customs differing in no marked degree from those of other civilized communities. To his farm he repairs at intervals, generally for a week or two at a time, often bringing a house-party with him. Or, if he desires absolute rest, Dievole is a splendid refuge. "In the other place," he says, "they know the ropes, can get at me, and fish me up. Here I am my own master—and I am safe." We left him there, one bright morning, to his shining solitude, among his flowers. There was no cloud in the sky and the shadow of the fattore seemed the only one on all the landscape. Since the early days of Eden, there has been no garden without a snake rustling through the grass—except, perhaps, in Ireland.—T. R. Sullivan, in Scribner's. California. I dreamed a dream of beauty, Of dewy orange bloom, Of waving plumes of palms and gusts Of subtle, sweet perfume; Of lilies and rare roses That glistened bright between Rich banks of brilliant tropic blooms That I had never seen. I dreamed about the ocean And mountains close beside, Their purple mantles bordered by The silver of the tide. I dreamed of holy brethren, Of gentle word and deed, Who journeyed over half the world To sow the Lord's good seed. To toll till church and cloister Arose for Christ's dear sake. Though o'er the thresholds, in my dream, I saw gold popies break. And lo, as I was dreaming, I journeyed swiftly through Three days and nights—then I awoke And found my dreams come true! —Evalen Stein, in Sunset Magazine Domestic Specials BASEMENT 5c yard for Standard Print, fast colors, regular price 7c yard 5c yard for Apron Check Ginghams, all colors, regu'ar price 8c yard 5c yard for Outing Flannel, stripes or checks, regular price 7½c yard 8c yard for Plain Colored Outing Flannel, regular price 12½c yard 8c yard for Silkolines (figured) full 36-in. wide, regular price 12½c 9c yard for Figured Flannelettes, new patterns, regular price 12½c 9c yard for Heavy Weight Outing Flannel, regular price 12½c 9c yard for 36 in. wide Percale, dark colors, choice styles, regular 9c yard for 36 in. wide Percale, dark colors, choice styles, regular price 15c yard 10c yard for Printed Flannelettes, 36-in. wide, regular price 15c 20c yard for Bleached Sheeting, 81-in. wide, regular price 25c yard 25c yard for Plain Colored Eiderdown Flannel, regular price 35c 95c each for White Quilt, size 72x81, heavy, regular price $1 25 each 95c each for Heavy Soft Cotton Blankets, full size, in white, gray or tan colors, regular price $1 25 pair THE DENVER DRY GOODS CO. or on any kind of terms, until you have received our complete Free Catalogues illustrating and describing every kind of high-grade and low-grade bicycles, old patterns and latest models, and learn of our remarkable LOW PRICES and wonderful new offers made possible by selling from factory direct to rider with no middlemen's profits.

Serious punctures, like intentional knife cuts, can be vulcanized like any other tire. Two Hundred Thousand pairs now in actual use. Over Seventy-five Thousand pairs sold last year. DESCRIPTION: Made in all sizes. 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. 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.

The Statesman Our Phone is Main (905 MONEY-SAVING NO FIT SUBJECT FOR JEST! The advertisements of the Auto matic Telephone Company read like a Socialist pamphlet. “Telephone trust,” “extortion,” are freely used in de nouncing the Colorado Telephone Company. Clever, indeed, is the abuse sharp {s the sarcasm, amusing ihe ridi cule employed to win votes for the new franchise proposition, BUT NOT A SINGLE TANGIBLE BIT OF EVI DENCE OR REASONABLE ASSUMP. TION IS OFFERED TO COMBAT THE GOOD SERVICE GIVEN BY THE PRESENT COMPANY. The voters are not going to write to Kankakee to get statements from users of competitive phones, we have no stamps to waste finding out whether rates in Podunkville were cut in half when these new philanthropists in- stalled their phones just to help the dear public. But voters do know that $2.25 per month is two great big dol lars, a whole day’; work, and then some. They do know that It is 75 cents more than they can get a phone for now. It is all nonsense about “no party lines.” “Unlimited service” is also a vote-catcher—nothing else. A little boy dreams abcut apple orchards but wise men know that all above one’s needs is valueless. THE GREAT MAJORITY OF USERS OF THE DIF FERENT KINDS OF MEASURED SERVICE HAVE WHAT THE) NEED, AND AT LESS THAN §2.2 PER MONTH. Pretty phrases do no run competition with Uncle Sam’: mint, and the Automatic company wil. have to SHOW us how It is a cut on telephone rates to charge us more than we now pay. Dear reader, !f you can Row reach your doctor, butcher and clothier, don’t be led by automatic clap-trap about “trusts” to agree to pay more for the same privilege. By the way, ask the automatic man, How you can use his phone in the dark? Poor Lindsey! No state ticket! Grave doubts, even, in his own mind about the various county tickets! Dis- credited: apd deserted, the little judge has played Riensi and retired from the otage. The contest is now between Demo THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO: crats and Republicans, Independent ticket distanced. The considerations which have been urged in these col- umns for supporting the Republican state and congressional nominees, in some degree hold for local nominees. When to them {s aided the assurance of our full share in campaign work and responsibility with the addition of after-electiton benefits, it is clearly to our interest to support the Repub- lean ticket. The manly way in which we have played our part in registra tion has been made possible by the Re- publican party. Republican nominees have given their voice to aid us in our demands. The character and standing of the nominees upon the ticket being @ guarantee of their good faith, Ne groes can go down the line for the success of the county, as well as state ticket. Democracy 1s trying to de moralize our people by counter propo- sitions and criticisins of the party of our choice. Its bad faith is evident. If it wants Negroes’ support, why does it seek to prevent our full registration? Why did it not send out some of its colored workers to get Negroes in line for election? No use can think that It will give preferment after election to a people whom {t disdains to use in win- ning. Don't be deluded! Vote for the Re publican county ticket! The presence of one undesirable nominee on it should not blind us to its overwhelm- ing merit as compared to the opposl- ‘ion, Through the assistance of clever Dress agents, Nelson, who was de feated by Gans in a prize fight out in Nevada, is seeking to discredit the win of the little brown boy. We hope he does sufficiently for another fight to be a profitable venture, for we know that another time the Dane won't have the face to say he was cheated. Booker T. Washington, according to the New York Age, hurried from New York to Atlanta to restore peace be- tween the races. How utterly childish {s this action on the part of the doctor and his accomplices. Dr. Washington knew when he was there with his Bus {ness League that the Negroes of At- lanta were to be mobbed; he thought Attention! re “The Statesman” | Fr tot me mete Imprint on your | % pertestty egatpped te do ALL Job Printing =| Teepe mune Is a sign of ematane Excellence. THE STATESMAN ) 1026 19th Street, Near Arapahoe. ) that danger was imminent, and he knew that if there was an outbreak, many members of his race would be slaughtered. If he was brave and true, why did he not go to New York and leave the members of his race free to be murdered by the mob? Could he have helped then, as he claims he Is helping now? If he can restore peace, he could have stayed the hand of the murderers; if he could have stayed the hand of the murderers by his power, and failed to do so, he is as guilty as the mob. No, Dr. Washington is impotent, ex- cept in one direction; there is but one thing he can do, and that is to compro- mise his race more and more, turn it over by betrayal after betrayal, join hands with Bowen and be praised by the press of the country as a hero. But the poor struggling Negro must suffer when betrayed; must die when deliv- ered us as a sacrifice to cowardice. Black men of America, our chief ene- mies are not the low and vicious; but they are men like Bowen, Washington. and Council; these are taking us to the slaughter; these ars the men to be put down if we over hope to be full men. Will we always be blind, will we never see the truth; understand what it means to be men? | We have a letter from a prominent white woman of the North, in which she emphatically states that the white women of the South believe in the “Leopard's Spots” as they believe in the superiority of the white man of this country. Believing this book, they cannot think of higher and better things; for they do not know the truth. But one thing is borne out by this letter from the woman of the North—that Thomas Dixon is a leader in shaping southern sentiment; the idol of that land of chivalry. We can- not expect much from the South when we know that Thomas, Dixon repre- sents the {deal of southern life; leads in the march of southern progress. They will see some day, we hope. | Mr. Robert T. Douglas and Mr. George D. Johnson have begun a busi- ness as dealers in fish, game, oysters, ete, and the first week they did a business of more than $100. We men- tion this fact because we feel that it is a step in the rignt direction, and for the further reason that we know Mr. Douglas to be a man of energy and } push, and are confident that he wit make a great success of the business. With such a fine start as the gentle- men have in the business there is no reason why, in & few years, there will not be a great enterprise on foot among Negroes in this particular fleld of endeavor. Negroes should give Messrs. Douglas and Johnson their patronage, for in proportion as their interests are advanced along this line in that proportion are the interests of the race promoted. Mr. Dougles is the man to make the business go. We congratulate him and wish him the highest success. What is the race to think of T. Thomas Fortune, the great genius of our race in newspaperdom? His edi- torials on the Atlanta horror were tame and weak; they told us that the Fortune of old has gone. He wavers when the youth of his race are ery- ing for manhood; crying for a real ex- ample of courage to speak out for right and humanity. It is a great pity to see poor Fortune now, when we remember the great Fortune of old, in a day when he was less needed than now. But It Is the way of the Negroes who are weak. They seem to think they are in a wreck and must put aside manhood to try and get what they can before it is all gone; some of these things are done because of poverty; bread for the little ones puts a price on conscience. Oh! that some of these would die that others may the better live. Some day it will come to this. The night will not be much darker, the day will soon come. P. 8S. TWIRTER.

Gilmore was given an extraordinary honor in last Wednesday night's Post, when it gave the exact conversation between Miss Anna Homan and its reporter in regards to the reason why she, a wealthy white woman, would give her sister's body to a colored undertaker. She made the following reply: "The reason I gave my sister's body to a colored undertaker was that I have more confidence in him than I have in any white undertaker." These people were from New York City and were of German-English parentage. Undertaker Gilmore will accompany the body to New York.

HERALD OF ALL REVOLUTION Feeling of Fear Indicates Wrong That Must Be Revised. All the old abuses in society, universal and particular, all unjust accumulations of property and power, are avenged in the same manner. Fear is an instructor of great sagacity, and the nerald of all revolutions. One thing he teaches, that there is rottenness where he appears. He is a carrion crow and though you see not well what he hovers for, there is death somewhere. Our property is timid, our laws are timid, our cultivated classes are timid. Fear for ages has boded and mowed and ribbered our government and property. That obscene bird is not there for nothing. He indicates great wrong which must be revised.—Emerson.
