Common Sense Opposes the Appeal to Class Feeling Republican Platform and Candidates Depend on Merit. VOL. XVIII REPUBLIC Common Sense Op Republica Like a collapsed balloon, the Democratic campaign in this state is coming to an inglorious close. A few weeks ago Republicans were downcast not because their cause was not as good as now, but from the sheer nerve and vim that the opposition was putting into its campaign. Now the situation is so different. The mighty Bryan came and saw—and fled. The reform role played by these latter day Jeffersonian Democrats was too much for him. It is sheer rot to say that he had to go east in the afternoon and therefore broke his Denver date, for a special train would have been a mere trifle for the party to hire. He saw the situation as it was and took the only course that would keep his clothes clean of the hypocrisy of his party in this state. An anti-corporation campaign, with corporation attorneys directing it, is a joke. On the other hand, common sense and a fuller appreciation of the business interests that are at stake have rallied Republicans as no mere partisan call could. Let Democracy decry the Mine Owners' Association, Republicans are not trying to elect that body to offices in this state. Neither is it trying to play union prejudice and make "the peepul" its slogan. There are rights inherent in every individual and it is upon no cheap play that the grand old party seeks success, but by holding the scale justly and meting out to all their rights it is running. The Supreme Court and its work, the Legislature and its work, the officers of the different departments ask only investigation. --- DENVER, COLOBADO, FRIDAY, OCT. 26, 1906. It is a pleasure to know that the great issues at stake have been seen clearly by colored voters. They appreciate as no white men can that the courts are the safeguards of our institutions and that they ought not be made the subject for partisan review. Having suffered in the southern states because courts there are the creatures of popular will, they will not consent for the same condition to obtain here. Then again, it is a pleasure to acquiesce in the results of the last Legislature's work. Whether one understands the methods pursued or not, whether he knows the evidence or not, it certainly is patent what the result has been. Even Democrats had three separate reports as to the result of the election, and with doubt in their mind no count of the vote two years ago was more than guess work and upon the head of Alva Adams was visited all the sins of his party. No one denies its foul record, no one denies the good result that has come out of his deposition, and the people of the state are content to go no further. When it comes to the officers who have served us so faithfully for the past two years, we could rest their case upon the one statement that even the opposition has found nothing to accuse them of. It is true that Charley Thomas has been dug out of the Democratic scrap heap to make a charge that they have favored corporations by not collecting a state tax, but he overshot himself and said that the same had been true for "five years," which takes it back to the time when Orman, a Democrat, was in office, and so he really has said nothing of Republicans that is not true of Democrats. It is a pleasure to support a man like Chancellor Buchtel for governor. He is a Christian gentleman, whose ability for management has been the marvel of all who have watched the growth of Denver University. So far as colored people are concerned, he is especially pleasing. He has been a power in his denomination in seeing that the work of the Freedmen's Aid was carried on thoroughly. He has out of his own pocket given financial aid to struggling students in his university. Only a few weeks ago, when one department, the Dental College, which is allied with the university, denied admission to a colored student, he did all the could by argument and influence to get the local dentists, who run and finance this department, to lift the bar, but in vain. This restriction was unknown until after the campaign was in full swing, for no colored person had applied for admission. No doubt had it been known earlier when the chancellor was at home and could have summoned the aid of the whole church to raise the bar, it would have been done, for he has made colored students welcome in all other departments of the university. For the first time in the history of the state we have a colored person in a clerical position. Mrs. Ida De Priest is a clerk in Secretary of State Cowie's office. Directly over her is Timothy O'Connor, who is chief deputy. Continued on page 8. NO.13 Automatic Telephone Co. Stoops to Misrepresentation in Its Fight for Franchise. OPEN LETTER TO THE COLORED VOTERS OF COLORADO. Dear Sir—Franchise grabbing is not intended to give lessons in the Golden Rule, and therefore it is not usual to apply rigid rules of right and wrong to promoters. But it has remained for the Automatic Telephone Company to overstep the bounds and resort to downright misrepresentation to bolster up its cause. Through its president, F. H. Stow, it says, in a circular addressed to colored voters: "Another point I wish to inform you on is that one of your acknowledged papers and one Mr. J. W. Jackson, we understand, have agreed to deliver all of the colored taxpayers to the Colorado Telephone Company in order to defeat our franchise." I should feel that my people would need to be apologized for if they were so thoughtless as to be voted by myself or any other man in any particular direction, willy nilly, without regard to their interests. For Mr. Stow to use such an insinuation, ascribing the presumption to me, is to convice himself of having no appreciation of the grand struggle Negroes are making up from poverty, nor of our self-relianace or business acumen. Did he know better, he would seek some stronger argument for his franchise than the resentment which he hopes to arouse by his letter. The impossibility of delivering the colored taxpayers' vote except in accord with their own interests, will make them reject in derision his accusation against me without my direct denial, and I make it only to show up Continued on page 8 THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO.

Cardozo, Supervising Principal of the thirteenth division of the public schools of the District of Columbia, was peremptorily dismissed last week. However, before he was removed from the schools his reputation for honesty was assassinated and his character marred. For several days prior to the removal of Mr. Cardozo reports were circulated to the effect that he had been guilty of writing an anonymous letter to one of the daily papers criticising certain school officials. Mr. Cardozo was called upon to explain about the letter and denied any knowledge whatever concerning it. Dr. Chancellor, the Superintendent from New Jersey, insisted that he knew about it, and that he wrote it. Mr. Cardozo, observing the trend of the forces working for his undoing, retained counsel, Mr. Henry E. Davis and Mr. James A. Cobb. His attorneys appeared with him before the board and asked for a hearing that their client might have the same chance given thieves of showing that he was innocent until proven guilty. The charges of anonymous letters figured prominently in the beginning of the argument of the attorneys for Mr. Cardozo, but in order to avoid the law and escape its consequences, the Superintendent withdrew the charges and stated that he would recommend the dismissal of Mr. Cardozo "for the good of the service." Mr. Cardozo's attorneys maintained that under the law their client was and is entitled to a trial; but the board, with the exception of a lawyer who was upon it, sustained the anarchistic action of the Superintendent; and Mr. Cardozo was thrown out in defiance of the law as a mob would throw out a Negro in the South. One of the attorneys for Mr. Cardozo stated to us that the proceeding of the board of education was just like the proceeding of a Georgia mob, in that they reasoned, if it can be so called, that inasmuch as they would arrive at the same conclusion, why have a trial? This is the reasoning of the mob which lynches its victim, this is defiance of law, says the young attorney, this is anarchy per se. Superintendent Chancellor is from Paterson, New Jersey. All this action is being taken by the board against colored men, either with the open aid of the colored members of the board or by connivance. Admiral Baird stated to Mr. Cobb that if the colored members of the board would agree to it, the white members of the board would vote for a continuance of the Cardozo case. But the colored members said no. We think we are safe in saying that if a white man had been on trial or under charges or under investigation, the white members of the board would have given him the same chance given thieves and murderers. The case is not yet settled. Mr. Cardozo's friends. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. white and colored, are contributing money for the prosecution of his case in the courts. They argue that they will push the case, even though Mr. Cardozo deserved dismissal. They do this for the reason that a great principle is involved, and unless it is upheld, no man is safe under Mr. Chancellor, who quickly responds to the slanderer's musings and the whispers of the tattler. Superintendent Chancellor, of New Jersey, commenting upon the removal of Mr. Cardozo, says: "I am the superintendent of the public schools of the District of Columbia; I will be that or nothing." We wonder if a wise man would have made this statement, even if he felt inclined to do so. The superintendent now states that the colored schools need a cleaning out, and that the Cardozo case is but a forerunner of what is going to come. Congress may look into this case of the high-handed methods now used in the schools. A remedy is needed; some method should be adopted whereby a man could enjoy his constitutional rights. The strangest thing of all this is, how Mrs. Terrell, always so gentle, so generous to her enemies, so kind to her friends, can see these things done; unless we are incapable of understanding the higher workings of the human soul. Justice will surely triumph in the end. Since Superintendent Chancellor, of New Jersey, has told the people of the District that he is the REAL superintendent, it becomes all those under him to be very careful. For, under his late action, it is sufficient that rumor be sent abroad and that he believes it. The heritage of Anglo-Saxon struggles—trial by jury—and all that have no place in the economy of Superintendent Chancellor, of New Jersey. He has no fear of the "Mafia," the "Black Hand" or the glittering stilletto. He has lived and moved in this atmosphere in Paterson, New Jersey. These things held no awe for him. So, we say to those who are under the superintendent from New Jersey, beware! And we deem it our duty to warn Congress of what they have got to face in this matter. You have got to meet a reformer, the like of whom our section has not produced; before whose majestic forward march Hearst, Jerome, Moran pale into insignificance. But we have not forgotten that Senator John J. Ingalls said: "Reform is a d—n huge nightmare." But the question remains, what is to be done with Mr. Cardoza? We believe that justice will some day be done him. We must be frank in this matter. We feel that his future has been blighted by this ruthless action on the part of the eminent educator, Superintendent Chancellor of New Jersey.

It is persistently rumored that Justice Robert H. Terrell is to be made the assistant superintendent and that Dr. W. S. Montgomery is to be put in the place made vacant by the removal of Mr. Cardozo. We do not believe the rumor. We know that Mrs. Terrell would never be a party to such low ward politics as is contemplated in this rumor. We cannot believe that anything so base, so wicked and so vile as the placing of Mr. Terrell in Dr. Montgomery's position under the present circumstances has been or can be contemplated by Mrs. Terrell and her friends on the board. We feel that the rumor was started by enemies or Mrs. Terrell, and that they are trying to use it to her injury. The rumor is so devoid of the color of truth, so foreign to honor, so repugnant to decency and so utterly bad that were it to come to pass no palliation should be offered, no excuse could be given for the outraged public and a persecuted man. Machaevelli, Cassius, lago and Richard III. would have shrunk from the low, base action presaged by this rumor. Mrs. Terrell has been wronged and the public outraged by this rumor. Senator Joseph Benson Foraker, speaking to the men composing the remnant of the Army of the Cumberland at Chattanooga, Tenn., a few days ago, said a strong word for the Negro and reminded the South that the North was "eternally right and the South eternally wrong." This comes as a great boon to the Negro in such an hour as this. For it has been many years since we have had a great man to take issue with the President on the question of CONSTITUTIONAL LIBERTY. Senator Foraker declares that the more intelligent and progressive the Negro becomes, the more he is persecuted and slaughtored, and reminds those high in the councils of the nation that there is a duty which we owe to the past and to the future, if we would forever keep secure the government which Senator Foraker and his comrades fought to save. The fight Senator Foraker is making is not popular, and it took a man of courage to stand up in the South and speak out boldly for the Constitution of his country. Constitutional Liberty used to be the watchword of great men in public life, but times have changed and Foraker alone stands out as of old, speaking for a man's chance for all of the citizens of his country. The Negroes throughout the country are deeply grateful to the great Senator from Ohio for his utterance in their behalf. It is hoped by them that this will not be the last utterance of this kind by public men, but that this action on the part of the man from the Buckeye State will inspire others to nobler deeds in behalf of the Constitution and the laws. We would like to know why Foraker should not be made President in 1908. We wonder if any man who stands for the Negro can get anything in this country in this day of moral cowardice and octopus chasing. Some day the old faith will prevail, and the most loyal citizens of our country will come into their own. P. S. TWISTER. THE PROMPT COMPANY. Denver, Colo.

A cold wave hit Bessemer last Fri- day evening as sort of a prelude to the frost which was pulled off at the Democratic meeting scheduled to taxe place at St. Paul’s Church. It was not down on the lists as a Democratic meeting, but only Democrats were in- vited to discuss “Why the Negro Should Divide His vote,” and the Democrats financed the effort. Rev Bray, the pastor, was chairman and announced the indefifinite postpone- ment of the meeting. Two white men, three of our women and ten men were the sum total of the second attempt of Democracy in Pueblo county this year. Yet some would say the defec- tion of the colored yote is alarming! Republican meetings are being held everywhere to good houses and re- ports from Grand Junction to Denver are flattering so far as the loyalty of colored voters to the issues of peace and prosperity. The meeting to have been held at the People’s Presbyterian Church by colored Republicans was postponed on account of the inclem- ent weather. For Governor, HENRY A. BUCHTEL, LL.D.

He stated that there were two mo tives usually behind a request for a grant of this sort, the first being a desire to secure a franchise and sell it to an established company; the sec- ond to unload the stock of this com- pany as a promoter’s enterprise on the investing public of this state. “The great cry is,” said Mr. Schuy- ler, “that they are to be a home com- pany. I want to say that the Colorado Telephone . company is essentially a home company. We have been estab- lished here twenty-six years, have over TAKE THAT TRIP!

Prompt oon yet ees of tbe city, 100 exchanges in operation in this state; have reached your business houses, your homes, your ranches and your mines, and have not only devel- oped Denver beyond any other city of ‘its size in the country, but have reached out into your suburbs before there was a demand for the service and thus created business. ~ “And in this development there has not been a dollar’s worth of watered stock, no preferred stock and no bond issues. Ever since 1883, when the company reduced its capital to the ac- tual value of the plant, the books show that the company has been developed by its own resources, by clean financ- ing, by selling stock at par and pay- ing dividends no greater than six per cent. Forty-five per cent. of this stock is owned locally and we have over 40) Denver stockholders. Is there any- thing more necessary to make us a home company?” “And what about this concern that is asking a franchise from the city of Denver? Their Los Angeles plant has been turned back to the manufac- turer with the order that he make the automatic teléphone work and they are capitalized for the immense sum of $8,000,000, “The Colorado company, with its 100 exchanges and 10,000 miles of toll lines is to-day valued at $6,000,000 to $7,000,000, Plant a Failure. “In Los Angeles the Automate company’s plant {is a failure; in Port- land they did not make use of the franchise granted tnem and now why do they come here in haste and ask us to give them a right to do business in Denver? “Because they want this franchise before the general public is aware of the condition of their enterprise on the Pacific coast. : “Now, as to this franchise, my firm, sincere and honest conviction as ‘a lawyer is that there has never been presented. to the people of Denver for action a franchise with which more fault can be found than with this one.” Mr. Schuyler then called attention to the flaws in the proposed grani showing that, while the franchise stat- ed there could be no merger or com- bination there was nothing in it to pre- vent the withdrawal from the com- pany of the men to whom the grant is to be made. Another flaw pointed out is that which requires a court of equity to pass on the question of for- feiture in case the service is bad, but specifies that, if such service is im- proved before the court can act, for- feiture shall not take place. Mr. Schuyler pointed out that this clause cnabled the company to give the worst porsible service and to stave off action of the court through the usual technicalities and then make just enough of an improvement to pre- vent forfeiture. “At any rate,” he con- cluded on this point, “a court of equity hates a forfeiture as much as the Den- ver Chamber of Commerce hateg a knocker.” ve THE STATESMAN is publishing free a business and professional men's guide. This is to inform the people and general public of the men and women who are in business and what they are doing and where they are located. Look over the list carefully and see if any one is omitted; if so no tify us at once and their names will be inserted. Then if you have need of any service they can render call on them. Say you saw their names in the Business Directory of THE STATESMAN. As soon as the list is complete and verified it will be published on a large card and hung up in public places so that the general public may know where we are at. The business columns of The Statesman are open to all for free discussion of industrial topics of local importance. If you are possessed of business knowledge that is practical and has been proven in Colorado, it is your duty to give it to give it to your fellow citi. ens. Men, minds and dollars are turned this wayooking for an opening. What we want are facts demonstrated here in Denver and not a thousand miles away. This column of business enterprises cannot be filled up all at once but will be arranged in alphabetical order. Each week new letters will be added to the list and all the business enterprises under the heading of those letters will be imported. The names and location will be permanent so that al. you need to do is to look at your paper to see who is in that column. ADVERTISING MEDIUMS THE STATESMAN,1026 19th St. 'The ColoradoStatesman.'

When Drake sailed the South sea in the Golden Hind upon his piratical voyage of circumnavigation in the year 1577-'79, and when he captured the Nuestra Senora della Concepcion (surnamed the Cacafuego or Spitfire) off Cape San Francisco, it took three days to transfer the treasure from the captured ship to his own. In that single haul there was realized a "purchase," as it was called, of over twenty-six tons of silver, besides eighty pounds of virgin gold, thirteen chests of pieces of eight containing over a million in money, and an enormous amount of jewels and plate.—Harper's Magazine.

Engaged people should remember, that, after marriage, many quarrels can be avoided by keeping their digestions in good condition with Electric Bitters. S. A. Brown of Bennettsville, S. C., says: "For years, my wife suffered intensely from dyspepsia, complicated with a torpid liver, until she lost her strength and vigor, and became a more wreck of her former self. Then she tried Electric Bitters, which helped her at once, and finally made her entirely well. She is now strong and healthy." All druggists sell and guarantee them, at 50c a bottle. Wm. Williams.

PROMOTES THE GROWTH OF THE HAIR PREVENTS IT FROM SPLITTING AND BREAKING OFF Pueblo Department Personal Briefs, Church, Lodge, Political and Society News. The colored Republican rally held at Bessemer city hall under the auspices of all the colored clubs, and direction of the churches of Bessemer, with Rev. H. R. Hardy as chairman, was one of the most earnest in true spirit of justice ever held in this city pending any election. The perfidy and abuse of the Democratic administration of this city on the rights of the Afro-American citizens to engage in business was brought out by F. P. Lannon. All of the speakers were fearless and straightforward in their five-minute remarks. First, Rev. N. L. Bray favored the Republican party because it had ever stood for the principles that give to colored men more rights than ony other party. The second speaker, J. J. Jennings, proceeded to score Democrats' dilatory and obnoxious tactics against colored Republicans to make them Democrats or leave the city. He waxed warm during his five minutes and asked for more time. It was denied him. The third speaker was W. W. Hood, the iron-clad ball tosser and poet. He started off very eloquently and then came back to solid facts that exist in our city government. The poem on character building captured the whole audience. Mr. Hood impressed his hearers to give their whole support to the Republican party this fall, amid hearty applause. The fourth speaker was Candidate E. C. Cash. He stated that he had been favorably impressed with the colored Republican because he had greater obstacles to overcome which the white man did not have. He referred to what Booker T. Washington said about the two parties. The fifth speaker was Candidate Lenard. He was also favorably impressed with the colored speakers. He appeared to be interested in national affairs for the Negroes' good, warning them to use their influence against dangerous men. Candidate James Park, in his talk, referred to the staunchness of the colored Republican. He referred to national affairs, and spoke of Governor Bandmann of Mississippi, who wants to attach amendments to the constitution. He warned the colored man against such biased legislators, and to stand together at home and abroad. The sixth speaker was Candidate Lynn J. Henry. He was frank and free in his statements on equality. He declared his whole service, if elected, to be honest with all men regardless of color or nationality. His talk from beginning to end was heartily applauded. The seventh speaker was Candidate F. P. Lannon. Mr. Lannon appeared to be an honest seeker for place and plans to bring about success to the Republican party. Lannon is now running for sheriff and has proved himself to be one of Pueblo's ablest councilmen. He expressed himself as being opposed to the Democratic actions against Wm. Hatcher, a most influential business man, in denying him license to run a saloon when there had been committed no crime. But in other places crimes had been committed, and these places were not closed because they were run by white men. Mr. Lannon made a statement of the duty of a sheriff, claiming that the present one had failed to do his duty, and promised that if he was elected no man would be ordered and run out of town unlawfully. He referred to how Messrs. Lee Tyler, H. D. Porter and Al Burk had been persecuted by the Democrats. F. P. Lannon is the man who in the face of the very enemy makes a fearless statement of the wrongs of the colored man. Lannon means the protection of rightful citi- THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. zenship, not for one class but for all. Vote for F. P. Lannon. Candidate Leadhead, A. B. Teal, McWilliams, Dr. Elders and Norval W. Wall all made good speeches complimentary of what they had heard and seen during the meeting. At the close of the speaking Lawyer W. B. Townsend was vociferously called for. He responded and said that he would make a speech in a few words, namely: "I'm a Republican." Last, but not least, was Mr. Pennington, who spit fire, who poured out brimstone until the house began to stir. The hour was growing late, and Chairman Hardy, standing as erect as he was dignified, pointed to the room where the ladies were in waiting to serve lunch. COMPANY STILL PROMPT. This is to certify that the American Life and Accident Company has paid me an accident benefit for two weeks and has treated me right, the same as they did three years ago when my mother died, and they paid the death benefits in less than two hours. (Signed) ANNIE E. LEWIS, 2633 Larimer Street. Where Four States Meet. The only place in the world where four states, territories or provinces join, is where the boundary lines on Colorado, Utah, New Mexico and Arizona meet. It is the only "four corners" combination of political divisions of the kind on earth, and the United States has marked the place with a stone monument, the names of the four divisions being inscribed on the shaft. The spot is in the heart of a country once densely populated by cliff-dwellers, and access to it is so difficult that few tourists make their way there. Mancos, Colo., is the nearest railroad town, and it is one hundred miles distant. Were it not for the boulders lying about a wagon could be set down with each wheel in a different state. Blessings for the Weary. But I think the King of that country comes out from among His tireless host. And walks in this world of the weary, as if He loved it the most; For here in the dusty confusion, with eyes that are heavy and dim. He meets again the laboring men who are looking and longing for Him. He conceals the curse of Eden, and brings them a blessing instead; Blessed are they that labor, for Jesus partakes of their bread. He puts His hand to their burdens. He enters their homes at night; Who does his best shall have as guest the Master of life and light. This is the gospel of labor—ring it, ye bells of the kirk— The Lord of love came down from above, to live with the men who work. This is the rose that He planted here in the thorn cursed soil— Heaven is blest with perfect rest, but the blessing of earth is toil. Their Opinion of Babies. When Mark Twain, nursing his first born, was asked by a friend if he loved it, he drawled, in reply: "I don't exactly love it, but—I respect it." Dr. Johnson was of somewhat the same opinion, for when Boswell asked what he would do if he were shut up in a castle with a newborn infant the doctor confessed he should prefer solitude. When Charles Lamb was asked how he liked babies he made stuttering answer, "Madam, I like them so-fled." New Arrivals in Children's Coats. (REAR OF SECOND FLOOR.)

The atmosphere just now is heavily charged with the dissatisfaction among the colored voters of the country as to the party they should vote for; but it should not take long to settle this question. When the colored voter looks back about twenty-five or forty years he realizes that changing from one party to another is useless. The party in power today has not failed in all things even if it has in a few things. Let us as voters be wise and look far into the future. Stand by the old party, boys, for out of that party came President Lincoln; and today we have one of the best presidents that ever lived, and what we must do is to stand by him and see that good men are sent to Washington to him to pilot the nation. BOULDER NEWS. A well-attended members' meeting of the Republican Club was held at the A. M. E. church last Thursday evening. Manay were present, including a large number of ladies. Rev. Tolson called the meeting to order by introducing the first speaker of the evening, Mrs. Ida Depriest, in a neat talk, prefacing the introductiton with some important words on the object of the meeting and the work that was being done by the women casting their vote. The next speaker being introduced was Hon. Captain Campbell. His speech was noble and inspiring, dwelling upon good citizenship. He said the issue of the day was law and order. J. J. Manuel was next introduced. He spoke along the line of when the Republican party was born and what it has done for us. He advocated a square deal for every man. At intervals sweet music was given by the Mandolin club. After the speaking closed, the ladies served an oyster supper. The Literary society that was organized last week starts out with a bright future with Robert Hun as president. The literary journal is edited by Mrs. Tolson, known as the Breeze.

Octo A first-class res vel ber 14th was Rally day. The Pleasant iar Wiis een eG ti he one a ow ~~ Pursuant to an act of the Congress of the United States of America, there will be held a naval and land exposi tion in commemoration of the three hundredth anniversary of the first En ghsh-speaking people in this country at Jamestown, Virginia, commencing the 13th day of May, 1907, and ending Oa the first day of November, 1907 That in order for the coiored people of this country to show their achieve ments since their emancipation, it was deemed wise by the leaders of the race to hold a separate and distinct exhibit in order to put upon exhibition the marvellous progress they have mede mechanically, agriculturally, ed ucationally and financially; that the world may see and judge for itself the capacity of the Negro as a race: his ability as a producer. The Negro Development and Expo- sitton Company of the United States of America, a company duly chartered under the laws of Virginia, with an au- thorized capital stock of $800,000, pro- poses to show at the exposition what the race has made, produced, woven, carved, engraved, invented, written and published; in fact, everything the race has done or accomplished, from an industrial point of view, that the world may form a correct and more fa- vorable opinion of the Negro race of this country; to the end that a proper solution of the problem may be had, from a business, commercial, financial and industrial point of view. It has, therefore, been decided to ask every member of our race to list for exhibition any and every article made by any member of the race.

Merit counts in the Republican party and the nominee for secretary of stateisa shining example of it. For colored voters he has the additional claim that hig election will mean that the door of opportunity will continue to swing open. Even our handful of Ne- gro Democrats intend to vote for O'Connor; “the first successor to the apostle of the open door.” E. R. Harper, who aspires to the Heutenant governorship, is the one man that the Republican convention was going to give a place to if it had to make one. He is a nice gentleman and one who more than anyone else has been the means of several Denver ites holding good paying positions. A friend is a friend, and he is a jewel to be prized the higher because they come few and far between. The office is a short lived one at best, but one of influence, and with Harper in it Ne- Broes will have a Joseph who will speak for them when they are not near. Negro newspapers, which are legion in campaign times, always look to Bent, the big-hearted auditor from southeastern Colorado, to help them tide over the hard times. We are glad to say, however, that it is not for his generosity alone that he stands wel! with the Colorado people, white anc black, but because he is a good official. No scandal has attached to bills tha! he has passed during his administra tion, and he will stand tied both to his friends and to the people’s money after this election. George Gross, ou: farmer from the melon district, say: Bent is all right, and he must be wher hig neighbors say good things for him He ought to run well and win the treasuryship. George D.

He is largely responsible for the present satisfactory arrangement whereby for the first time Negroes have a manly part in the campaign. We might enumerate more virtucs, but these three are enough to win for him the votes of thinking colored voters. There are even more good things to be said for the congressmen, but we will say them in our next issue. The candidates for the Supreme bench, as we have said, stand upon their record. It has brought peace out of turmoil and prosperity where once coal was $10 per ton from strikes. More need not be urged for the election of a judiciary that is fearless and un- trammeled by partisan leanings. A press dispatch of last week says: El Reno, Okla., Oct. 17.—It became known here to-day that E. A. Garling- ton, inspector general of the United States army, read an order from Presi- dent Roosevelt several days ago to the battalion of the Twenty-fifth infantry regiment (colored) here, stating that the battalion must give the names of the men in the recent Brownsville, Texas, disturbance, or be dishonor ably discharged, Three of the companies of the Twen- ty-fifth—B, C and D—are now at Fort Reno. The men were given until 9 o'clock Monday morning to “ 'fess up.” The time limit was extended a day, but it is believed nothing has been re- vealed. The order read to the sol- dierg was direct from President Rooue- velt. It will puzzle the admirers of Pres!- dent Roosevelt to account for the fore- going order, A high army officer who was in Denver shortly after the trou- ble in Brownville wag quoted in a local daily as saying that the whole trouble was due solely to the unwillingness of Negroes clad in the uniform of the country’s defenders to be thrust from sidewalks iy prejudiced whites and subjected to similar treatment, Riot and bloodshed are indefensible breaches of good conduct but self de- fense and resentment of insult has not yet become a crime in this country nor been classed as unbecoming law abiding citizens, To turn these men over to the civil authorities of Texas for trial would be murder upon the part of the War Department. The courts of the South convict Negroes without evidence and the President knows it. We will feel ashamed if any- member of the Twenty-fifth “snitches.” We cannot understand how President Roosevelt, who knows so well the calibre of black troops, would place such an unmanly propost- tion before them. We far prefer to see the army Icft to whites than to have its discipline an engine to crush out what rights we have to resent mis- treatment or compel us to turn in- former. First and foremost of the results of the race riots in Georgia is the world wide recognition of the willing ness of the Negroes to stand forth ir their own defense, Lives and prop erty have been thrown to the wind ‘and principle and manhood as never before have been asserted. The Negrc ‘Press has been driven from the scene. ‘But God's truth will send its shafts from afar as unerringly as before and the world shall know that religion is a lie, that civilization is a delusion, that neither respect for law nor jus- tice for man can exist where Southern whites and Negroes come in contact. A word of prophecy—either the race question will be settled by legislation or it will be settled by blood! Either the Republican party will again take up our cause or oppression will go its length to a fall. It should shame the white people of this country who really belleve.in it and its destiny to have its basic principle denied and confounded with impunity by the shallowest sub- Lerfuges! In a speech before the Press Asso ciation, Lawyer Townsend of Pueblo took the position that the Fifteenth Amendment, while broken “In spirit, yet was not sufficient to put a stop to the disfarnchisement practices of the South. The Supreme Court has told us that Congress is our only relief. Now comes Vardaman, the unregener ate copperhead, making his campaign for the Senate on repealing this amendment, though he admits its ob Ject is already futile. Let white peo ple shut their eyes and apostrophize the flag! Down beneath their enrap tured vision there seethes a black hell of injustice that tnust end. Peaceably we hope, but end it will, tlse right yields to might and God is the dream of a devotee. . Animal's idea of Numbers, Many animals have an {dea of con- erete numbers up to a few units and some go even farther. A dog which ls accustomed to recefve only three pieces of sugar will not ask for mure after he has had his quota. In certuin mines where horses are required to make thirty trips a day they walk at once to the stable after making the thirtieth trip. Montaigne tells of oxen smployed in the royal gardens of Suza, that refused to perform more than their daily task of turning the great irrigation wheels through ope hundred revolutions. Letter to Colored Voters Contiaued from page 1 the despicable methods of the stock- jobbing promoter. The truth is that I have not been, and am not now under contract, or in any agreement, whereby, either di rectly or by implication, I am to “de- liver all the colored taxpayers to the Colorado Telephone Company.” As a taxpayer and business man, I am hav- ing my say about telephone service. I have failed to see why I should pay $2.00, $2.25 or $2.75, whichever the Au- tomatic company finally settles upon, to get telephone service at home, when I can now get it as low as $1.50; neither do I want to pay $6.00 for what service I now get at my store at from $3.00 to $5.00. Mr. Stow is good at making cam- paign thunder, but his mathematics are faulty when he asserts that the rates of his company, plus those of the old company, will not be in excess of the present rates—unless he thinks the Colorado Telephone Company will pay subscribers to retain their phones. Con- fusion must be kept down in Denver. Here colored taxpayers are wide awake to her grand future and are aware that two telephone systems will retard, not advance, business interests. They will not be caught by the cheap clap-trap of franchise grabbers. They will judge telephone service by the actual per- formance, not by the criticism of ri- vals. Certainly if they had any linger- ing doubts as to the Automatic com- pany, they will now know it for what it Is, by the methods {t uses. Telephone service is a business Proposition and Mr. Stow will need hard facts to catch colored voters. 1 have never talked with him, do not even know him, and any statement that he makes about me is entirely Bratuitous. J. W. JACKSON. It seems that some of the “hood- lums” of Seneca, 8. C., tried the ex- periment of dynamiting a Negro col- lege, and {t is rumored that the Ne- Groes retaliated by burning the town, doing damage to the amount of about $160,000. This is expensive work for the whites, and it points to other things which may happen. The South- ern dailies of the capital city made no mention of this fact, for the reason that they fear ‘it will be an inspira- tion to the colored people to make the whites pay a great price 1or the perse- cution of the Negro. The time is com- ing when a white man will understand that he cannot take the law into his own hands without imperiling his own life by so doing. The price for the life of a Negro in the future will be dear, unless according to the prescrib- ed forms of law. The Cracker ora- tors and journalists to the contrary notwithstanding. Talks to Deaf-Mutes. By the side of the bishop of St. Ak bans, special preacher at the church for the deaf-mutes, St. Saviour’s, Ox: ford street, London, stood a curate, who, with nimble fingers, translated the sermon, sentence by sentence, into the deaf-mute alphabet. LOCAL NOTES Mrs. James Clay died of a complication of diseases Wednesday. She will be buried under the auspices of the Tabernacle, of which she was a member.

One of the most popular girls in our city was given away in marriage Wednesday at high noon, at the home of her parents. Both from her own charm and worth, and from the respectability and long residence of her parents, Miss Tennie Montgomery was rightly considered one of our best girls; and Mr. Eugene Talbert of Chicago, a postal employe, was a lucky man. The house was filled with friends. The bride was given away by her father, Charles Montgomery. Miss Grace, a sister, and Miss Ollie Henry were bridesmaids, and Henry Talbert, the groom's brother, was best man. Rev. Dyett performed the ceremony. It was a pretty wedding, resplendent with beautiful costumes and flowers. A gorgeous array of wedding presents were given as mementos of the esteem of their friends. A buffet lunch was served. Mr. and Mrs. Talbert went to Chicago on the afternoon train, where they will be at home. A GRAND RALLY, A GOOD TIME AN INSTRUCTIVE MEETING ALL IN ONE AND FOR NOTHING.

The meeting of the Republicans of Pueblo, held in the Bessemer city hall Tuesday evening, was one of the grandest ever held in that city. Rousing is a mild word to use in describing it. In comparison to the weak efforts of the opposition, the work of the colored Republicans for the party shine resplendent like the sun.

Hereros Cattle The native cattle of the Hereros in Southwest Africa, are tall, lean, longhorned and of little value for beef or milk, but they are excellent for riding and drawing loads, and, like camels, can travel for days without water and with little food. They are guided by reins attached to a stick through the nose. Danger of Over-Confidence. To the extent that a man allows himself to pass the mark of calm self-confidence in the routine of his work he is in danger, just as he is in danger when through any complexities of business that confidence which he should have lapses into lack of confidence in any degree.—Exchange. Lapsed in Meaning. When menus are written in French, by those who are imperfectly acquainted with that language, amusing effects are sometimes produced. For instance, on the front of a small restaurant in Avalon, a few days ago, there appeared the following surprising item: "Yellow-tail a la gratis." And it isn't a free lunch, either.
