LIBERTY IS DENIED "Big Mitt" Game Is Being Worked to Coerce Negro Voters VOL. XVIII LIBERTY "Big Mitt" Game to Coerce N A tiger in his native haunts that has once tasted human flesh turns into a man-eater and naturalists tell us that thereafter even though he may get a sufficiency of his proper diet he will not be content, and may be expected to made predatory raids upon the habitations of man. So with the Colorado Democracy. For years, by aid of the police power, it stuffed ballot boxes, voted repeaters, intimidated legal voters and in general showed no regard for law or justice. The exposure of its nefarious practices in the lower house of Congress in the Shafroth-Bonynge case with more than 6,000 illegal votes cast in only twenty-seven precincts in Denver, did not shame or terrify it into doing right. Only the stern hand of the Supreme Court and the fining and imprisonment of the "gang" brought it to its senses in this city, and now for the first time it is heralded to the world that the police department of Denver is not in politics. But the Democratic tiger has tasted blood. He can't quit election fraud if he would. It has simply changed its base of operations. Pueblo, the home of the Democratic candidate for governor, is now the tiger's lair. With the old-time vigor the police force is going about herding the element which it can control. Marshaling the victims of its tyranny for the evil it would do on election day, and sending terror to the hearts of all who dare to oppose them. It would be too much to say that Alva Adams knows about what is going on in his own town, to substitute the will of a corrupt ring for that of the people, but hk "her Frank is too well inoculated with the virus of political rascality to quit now that he is turned out ```markdown ``` DENVER, COLORADO, FRIDAY, NOV. 2, 1906. of his office of police commissioner in Denver and Pueblo offers and opportune outlet for him. This latest outrage of Democracy is especially interesting to colored voters. We have six men in Pueblo engaged in the sale of liquor who are therefore more or less under the supervision of the city, which is Democratic. Some of them are old citizens and property owners who have never come into disrepute for conduct unbecoming a law-abiding citizen. These men have their orders to go down the line for the Democratic ticket or close up! One who would not was closed up as an object lesson to the others, though not even a disorderly place was charged against him. The enthronement of the policemen's billy has been carried out with all the ritualistic ceremonies and the alliance between the city administration of Pueblo and the cohorts of vice, the scarlet women and the gamblers is complete. It now remains to be seen whether intimidation can deliver Negroes' votes for the continuation of the Big Mitt in its new home. Certainly Denver: and the whole state will not give support to an organization that drives out of business our people while encouraging other places of a similar kind run by whites. Equal opportunity is not down in Democracy's list of promises, either in Colorado or Georgia. There was a chicken pie supper given in Pueblo this week with champagne to wash it down. Hundreds attended. It was a little unkind in the hosts in having Democratic speakers to deliver toasts to Tillman and Vardaman during the repast, but the guests said that the chicken had not gone THEODORE ROOSEVELT If you want President Roosevelt to have the support of a Republican Congress, if you want such industrial conditions in this state as insure peace and prosperity, if you want local affairs administered justly and not by the "Big Mitt," if you want a man's chance and the downfall of Tillmanism and race proscription. VOTE THE STRAIGHT REPUBLICAN TICKET. Democratic and they could stay till it was gone. This is the desperate resort that the black disciples of Jefferson are put to to get a crowd. Denver sends greetings to them and invites them to come here. BE NOT RECEIVED The usual relay of rumors are about to be launched to show the unfitness of Republicans for office, and every effort will be made to prejudice colored voters. But why, in the name of justice and common sense, are the accusations against Republicans saved NO.14 up till the last few days of the campaign? If the authors of them are honest, why did they not weeks ago brand the candidates as unworthy? Lies won't bear investigation, and the makers of them know it. Hence they wait until the close of the campaign when they hope to say any old thing and get away with it. Talks to Deaf-Mutes. By the side of the bishop of St. Albans, special preacher at the church for the deaf-mutes, St. Saviour's, Oxford street, London, stood a curate, who, with nimble fingers, translated the sermon, sentence by sentence, into the deaf-mute alphabet.

Always Staunci « And True The Denver Republican has al- ways avoided the fallacies and knaveries of yellow journalism, and its steadily increasing Circula- tion proves conclusively that its policy of telling the plain Truth without exaggeration or misrepre- sentation, standing iast for the Right, iv heartily approved with growing force by the intelligent Public to which it appeals. To read it is a liberal Educatior, and the citizen who goes without it does a positive harm to himself, to his family, and to the commu- nity. In no other way can the invest- ment of 2% cents per day —for that is all The Republican costs any subscriber—bring such rich results in that Knowledge which is both Power and Pleasure Infarmation, instruction and en tertainment fill its columns and it leaves a good taste in the mouth of the reader. It stands for Law and Order in the State—for Peace, Prosperit and Happiness in the Home. If you are not already enrolle among its splendid list of Patrons send on your subscription and giv. it a fair trial at T5 cents per month for Daily ~»d Sundav, SOMETHING FOR NOTHING The Automatic Telephone Company is the Worst "Hog" that has Struck Denver. Vote "Against" its Franchise. The Denver Post and the Rocky Mountain News have clinched the arguments on the telephone franchises by letting the franchise talk for itself. Read the extracts from the Post of Wednesday and whether one believes in municipal government, or just cheap service under private ownership, he must be convinced. "The common sense attitude is to examine the franchise direct without bothering about the contending assertions of the new company and the old company. * * * A franchise has been submitted. * * * It is plain that if granted there will be no room for a third company. .. * * Two telephone systems are all that the public can stand for, or sane capital would invest in. * * * If a majority votes "yes" on this Automatic company proposition, it will determine Denver's telephone fate for all time to come. * * * It is doubtful it more than a handful of people of people have read the terms of this practically PERPETUAL franchise. * * * We have a peculiar way, you know, of spending immense sums for public printing read mainly by printers and proof-readers. This particular document fills ELEVEN COLUMNS of fine newspaper type. * * * Of course you haven't read it. * * * Well, we have, and find its provisions to be as follows: The compensation of the city for this practically PERPETUAL franchise grant is only 1 PER CENT. PER ANNUM of the gross receipts of the company. * * * It will be remembered that the Municipal Traction franchise, futilely submitted in opposition to the Tramway franchise, offered the city 5,7 AND 10 PER CENT. PER ANNUM of the gross receipts and guaranteed that the payment would be at least $75,000 a year to begin with * * * And the CASH was put up. * * * Even the greedy Tramway is paying $55,000 a year for its franchise renewal. * * * The Denver Gas and Electric Company is paying $50,000 a year. * * * The Automatic Telephone Company offers only 1 per cent and only guarantees $1,000 A YEAR to begin with. * * * This is the way the proposed telephone franchise reads: "Section 12.—The said grantee, his successors and assigns, in consideration of the rights and privileges granted by this franchise and as compensation therefor, shall, on the first day of January of each year during the term of this franchise, pay to the city and county of Denver a sum equal to 1 per cent. of the gross income or re THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. ceipts of said grantee, his successors and assigns, holding this franchise, and operating the same, for each and every preceding year during the term of this franchise, which compensation shall, however, amount to not less than the sum of ONE THOUSAND ($1,000) DOLLARS FOR EACH OF THE FOLLOWING YEARS, TO-WIT, 1909, 1910, 1911, 1912 AND NOT LESS THAN TWO THOUSAND ($2,000) DOLLARS FOR EACH OF THE FOLLOWING YEARS, TO-WIT, 1913, 1914, 1915, 1916, 1917, 1918, AND NOT LESS THAN THE SUM OF THREE THOUSAND ($3,000) DOLLARS FOR EACH OF THE FOLLOWING YEARS, TO-WIT, 1919, 1920, 1921, 1922, 1923, 1924, 1925, 1926. And as further compensation, the public buildings of the city and county of Denver are to be supplied with such telephones as may be necessary for the uses of the city and county without cost to the city and county. Think of Denver getting only $1,000 a year for a telephone franchise until 1912; and only $2,000 a year in 1918, and only $3,000 a year from 1918 to 1926! "While a preliminary rate of $2.25 a month for residence phones and $6.25 a month for business phones is specified, the real rate is $3 a month in residences and $8 a month in offices and shops. * * * Nothing is to be charged until 5,000 phones are in use, but a system of only 5,000 users would be hardly worth while paying anything for, to be sure. * * * The Bell company has 20,000 phones in use. * * * The $2.25 and $6.25 tariff goes into effect when 5,000 automatic instruments are installed and, after 10,000 are in use, the price is to be raised at the rate of 50 cents per month per thousand, in excess of 10,000, but not to exceed $3 for private phones and $8 for business phones. * * * Here is the exact language of the franchise: "Section 11.—That the rent or charge for an unlimited, independent, metallic, circuit telephone service in the system established or maintained under this franchise, so long as such system does not connect and exchange with more than ten thousand (10,000) telephones, shall not exceed six and twenty-five one-hundredth ($6.25) dollars per month for a telephone installed in any business office or premises for business purposes, or two and twenty-five one-hundredth ($2.25) dollars per month for a telephone installed in a private residence, and that when said system shall comprise more than ten thousand (10,000) telephones the annual rent or charge for the aforesaid service shall not be increased by more than a sum equal to six ($6.00) dollars per annum for each one thousand telephones in said city and county connected with said system in excess of ten thousand; provided, that a discount of twenty-five ($0.25) cents per month shall be made for payment on or before the 10th day of the month in which the service is rendered; and provided, however, that in any case the rate shall not exceed eight ($8.00) dollars per month for business houses nor three ($3.00) dollars per month for residences; and, provided, further, that no rental shall be charged for any telephone until five thousand (5,000) have been installed and are in operation. "The rates really are $36 a year for residences and $96 a year for offices and shops. * * * The old company's tariff, for a service reaching 20,000 phones, now concedes some 5,000 phones, in private houses, at $2 a month, and some 4,000 business phones at $5 a month. * * * The Automatic company's sole guarantee to the city is a penal bond, to be filed after acceptance, in the sum of $50,000." The cry of "competition" is catchy, but that is all. There are things in which competition is a disadvantage, and calm consideration of telephone service convinces anyone that the confusion is not worth the advantages offered. Three years more and Denver will be in a position to get a say in what she wants from the Telephone company, and here the Post makes a home thrust when it says: "The great big point is that, once we have two legalized telephone systems THERE WILL BE NO FARTHER OPPORTUNITY TO GAIN PUBLIC REVENUE, OR THE CONCESSION OF LOWER RATES, and this proposed grant, if conceded, puts Denver in the position of a PALTRY 1 PER CENT REVENUE and nothing better than the concession of this new franchise and, after twenty years, then what? * * * The terms of this franchise are that the city will be obliged to buy the plant, or renew the franchise, or, if the city does not buy or renew, any other company undertaking to furnish telephone service must buy the plant. * * * Inasmuch as the terms of the ordinance require a TWO-THIRDS VOTE to buy the plant, the proposed franchise is practically PERPETUAL. "Regardless of what you think of the old company, the common sense question is whether, or not, the city shall give up its opportunity to gain tele- phone concessions—BOTH IN PRICE AND REVENUE—to a company that only yields 1 PER CENT. per annum for a practically PERPETUAL grant. * * * Is it the only "hello" on the horizon of Denver's expansion?"

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 uponce or twice ina whole season. They weigh no more than an ordinary tire, the puncture resisting qualities being given by several layers of thin, special prepared fabric on the tread. That “Holding Back” sensation commonly felt when riding on esptalt 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.

Good boarding house for single men, also good houses for families. The Colored Republican Buchtel Club held its regular meeting Friday evening with a crowded house. Many brief but brilliant speeches were made during the evening. Mr. J. A. Starkling was the first to address the audience. His argument was to the point, but not to the satisfaction of his hearers, for the reason that he did not refer to any particular party, but simply quoted to us regardless of party that we must vote for the right man, whereas, the Buchtel club and its members did not approve, save, of course, that we believe the Republican party and all its candidates are the right men, because we are straight Republicans and not split. Next Mr. A. Yarber of Florence with a few scoring remarks soon convinced all that he was a straight Republican and vigorously urged that all his hearers vote the same. The next speaker was Mr. John A. Miller of Canon City. He heartily indorsed the speaker preceding him and closed his remarks by saying that all colored men should vote a solid Republican ticket. At this the entire audience applauded. John W. Evans, the chairman of the meeting, made a few brief remarks which were well taken, and the meeting was closed. Refreshmnts were then served to the club and visitors from all the nearby towns. All reported this being one of the grandest meetings ever held among the colored people in Fremont county. That's the time; watch our smoke November 6th. DENVER DOINGS. We are in receipt of unsigned notices from time to time which are omitted for lack of signature.

"Not looking each of you to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others." J. B. Moore P. J. Barnard J. M. Williams William Russ Republican Meetings From every section of the state come reports that as never before the colored voters are lining up for the Republican ticket. The wisdom of the party in giving special attention to colored voters and not taking for granted as formerly that they were Republicans, will mean the addition of many hundred votes to the ticket. The Pueblo Chieftain in speaking of a meeting in Pueblo Monday, says: "The largest meeting of colored Republican voters ever held in Pueblo occurred last evening, when colored men and women gathered at 221 Santa Fe avenue to hear a number of fluent speakers talk on the issues of the present campaign. The meeting was scheduled to take place in the hall at the corner of Sixth and Main streets, but the colored men were denied the privilege of the former place. The notice refusing them the hall was not given, however, until almost time for the meeting to be held and naturally necessitated some lively work to prepare a place for accommodating the colored voters who were then rapidly gathering. The room at 221 Santa Fe was secured and electric lights were hastily put in, chairs were installed and the place was ready for use. "Sentinels were posted at the hall on Main street to direct the crowd to the hall on Santa Fe avenue, and after the meeting opened the committees were glad to have been disappointed, because the hall on Main street would not have contained the crowd that attended. It was the most enthusiastic colored meeting ever held in Pueblo and the speakers were at their best. "The meeting was opened with a solo by Mrs. Jessie Banks, after which John Jennings addressed the gathering. This was followed by a song by the glee club. The principal speaker of the evening was Rev. J. E. Ford, a highly educated man and a brilliant speaker. Willis Hood, the "Bill Nye of Pueblo," was introduced amid cheers and for twenty minutes the crowd was kept in an uproar of laughter as he told stories in quick succession which not only amused but instructed the audience in many of the issues of the campaign. "J. H. Pennington in a humorous speech told why he returned to the fold of the Republican party. J. H. D. Hill delivered a clever speech in which he discussed the main issues of the campaign from the standpoint of the colored man. "The meeting was presided over by Rev. J. C. C. Owens, who introduced the speakers with appropriate remarks and directed the meeting to the satisfaction of everybody. "The candidates of the Republican party ticket were present and some of them were called upon to make a few remarks. After the meeting a luncheon was served by the ladies and the crowd dispersed, the jolliest that has ever assembled at a political meeting." THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO On the same night there was another meeting in Boulder, which made all previous records get up and hump. Republican speeches are received with glad acclaim and the rancorous maledictions of Democracy on everything and everybody fall flat. Peace and prosperity are in the breeze and the colored voters alive to the needs of the state as never before. Dr. Westbrook of this city and Prof. Jackson of Colorado Springs were the speakers. A return engagement took Rev. Coie to this city and Professor Jackson to Salida last week, and the reports of the meeting coll it the largest held in that city, colored or white, this campaign. Monday night in Leadville was a red letter occasion. J. J. Manuel of this city and Rev. Cole addressed an audience that filled the Methodist church to suffocation. The interest taken by our people is increasing the nearer it gets to election and the Cloud City holds only ONE colored voter who supports the Democrats, and has no laggards at all. The grand rally of the Republicans in this county will be held at the People's Presbyterian church at Twenty-third and Washington avenues, this Saturday night, with two of the best speakers from the southern part of the state in attendance. It is intended to make this a grand hallelujah time with the best of catchy music and pithy speaking. NO RED TAPE. Denver, Colo., Oct. 12. American Life, City. Dear Sirs—I wish to express my appreciation of the way I have been treated. I have drawn benefits right along every week, and assure you it has been a great advantage to me.

To whom it may concern: I was insured in the American and in the Company, and the American paid me my benefits weekly and without any red tape, and the other company made me fill out a final proof and swear to it, which cost me $1.00. My husband is also going to insure in the American Life. No one can make a mistake in insuring in the American.

But when it comes to other county offices the duty of colored voters is not so plain, and in some quarters it is felt that the choice should be of the men, not the parties It is a fact that no party nomination can effect such a reform in a bad man that he is better than he was before. But there are broad considerations of greater good to be kept in mind. It is the consensus of opinion in this country that a bad man in a good party is better than a good man in a bad party. The ideal condition, of course, is where both the candidate and the party are for the good of the government. Denver county has in the candidates before it at this time the opportunity of choosing men who represent progressive ideas, who have capabilities that have been tried in their own affairs and in the public service. We have been compelled to award to the officers who have conducted the affairs of this county for the past two years the palm for efficient service. County Clerk Vickery has been a delightful change from odiferous Aichele, the Democrat, who made his office the clearing house for political dirt. He has had a colored clerk employed for some time and will continue him if he is re-elected. He has made a good officer and kept the business he has under his department in splendid shape. Compare him with the political wooden baby that Patterson is running to use for his ends. W. J. Fine, our present treasurer, is a product of American and German educational institutions in his native state, Pennsylvania. He has been identified with the American and German governments in the capacity of civil engineer and with Colorado banks as cashier. His capacity has not been bandied around in party conventions and his renomination comes as a reward of merit, not the gift of any faction. He is not a big man in stature, but his heart is a big one, and he is our friend. No better officer could be named than Fine for treasurer. C. C. Gird is an old soldier and a gentleman. His connection with the county administration as assessor is not so spectacular as Alexander whom he succeeds and who is running against him, and it is for this we want him. This thing of Alexander running up the assessment on the little holders so that he could shave the big is not fair, and we would want Gird elected if only to be delivered from Alexander. However, we have reasons to want the former, for he is capable and deserving at the hands of the Republican party and colored voters. Last, and probably more important than all, is the sheriff. Alexander THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. Candidates Nesbit gives everybody a square deal. Even prisoners who have been in his charge say they will be glad to see him elected, and certainly if he has kept their good will in the discharge of his duty he must be a model officer, who merely gives the law life, not embittering it with his personal hate. He will run strong and, being an uncompromising Republican, will always stand as a bulwark against ill-treatment of any class of citizens because they are defenseless. Other officers, judges and constables, etc., are important cogs in the county machinery and must not be overlooked. They have even greater importance when it is considered that by and through them the Big Mitt maintained itself in power and make elections a farce in this county. It is essential that Republicans make no mistake. Vote for the party candidates. Peace and prosperity, decency and good government can better afford a Republican of doubtful worth than a Democrat, for the latter, though good, cannot rise above the rottenness of his party. Vote your convictions of right and of expediency. Do not let passion or prejudice lead you into the small position of making a poor choice because of hearsay talk, when two years of good administration speak for themselves. CONGRESSIONAL TICKET With the increasing importance of the race question in national affairs and the Democratic party still pledged to maintain the issue of "Negro domination," it needs little argument to prove to Negroes the vital necessity of giving their full support to the Republican candidates for Congress. This is not an election wherein the principles of government need be discussed by colored voters, for whatever we may think of tariff and money and railway legislation, the first and all-important consideration is self-preservation. The success of Democrats in northern congressional contests will mean only that many additional votes for the dominating southern faction of the party to use for the further abridgment of our rights. It is true that Republicans do not fulfill promises made in platform as we would have them, but right now is the crucial time in our struggle for existence, and even though they do nothing we can win our own sure footing if time is given and then meet the Vardamans and Tillmans with hope of victory. A supine friend is better than an open and unrelenting foe. It is not for the personality of our candidates that you vote, but for a continuance or betterment of present conditions. The three Colorado candidates for Congress, George W. Cook, Robert W. Bonynge and Warren A. Haggott are all party men and will not ally themselves with any cabal that at tempts to make national the sectional Grand Gift Concert During The Fortieth Annivesary Exercises At Zion Baptist Church Tuesday Nov. 13 A present to Everybody from the Mother Church Sherman Overton, Chairman Trustees ADMISSION 25 CTS.

How to Preserve Eggs. New-laid eggs can be preserved for months by smearing the shells of them with pure glycerine on the same day that the eggs are laid. It is best to place them in a position with the smaller end up. Pure glycerine is much better than butter or grease, as it never turns rancid and thus avoids the chance of spoiling the flavor of the eggs. --- FRATERNITIES Officers of Lodges Nights of Meeting M.

The English language does not con. tain words expressive of the contempt which men of good sense and honest purpose have for a lie. It is an abomi. nation in the sight of God and man. One’s interests or mental bias may contrive to make him see things other than as they are and he may be mis. taken, but for anyone to deliberately lend himself ta the spreading of false and misleading statements, is cow- ardly and shows a depth of depravity that decency and truth will not per- mit to go unrebuked. Rigid rules of morality are not followed so strictly in politics as in other matters, but even it has a limit. The end might offer some justification for the means if the per- petrator of a falsehood was credited with being honest in his views, but where it is known that the thirty pieces of silver have been paid and it is a Judas that would betray us, our contempt and indignation will not heed the appeal to be merciful and for- give. Black as is this crime, it is ten fold more damnable when the conspir acy is directed against one who has been a champion in the cause of the Negro race. It is time for the Ne grces to know the conspiracy for what it is, and here are the facts. A few weeks ago a colored young man, Randall Johnson of Trinidad applied for admittance to the denta department of Denver University. fic was received in the regular way by the officerg of the university and recom mended for admittance. When it came to the faculty and directors of the Dental College he was turned down be cause, as they said, “the student body objected.” Just at this time when the matter had been called to the atten tion of several colored citizens, among whom were such men as Rev. J. E Ford, pastor of Zion Baptist church, Chancellor Buchtel, who is at the head of the university of which this college is a part, was chosen to fill the va cancy in the Republican ticket. It 1s clear to anyone that knows anything about the conduct of large affairs like a university that the chancellor up’ to thia time would have no knowledge of such a small detail of the work as the application of a student. Feeling that hie past record for friendliness for col- ored people could be relied upon, the case was placed before him. To the knowledge of the editor of this paper, and of the others who were taking a hand in the matter, such representa- THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO: tions were made to the Dental Colleg: that it is said in its final answer tha “jt would make provision for Johnsor at any eastern school so that it woul be advantageous to him to go else where. How much this meant is eas ily understood when it is known tha’ the Dental College is not a part of the university in the sense that the Col lege of Liberal Arts is. It is a sepa race institution maintained by the dentists of Denver with H. A. Fynn, T BE. Carmody, J. S. Jackson, A. C. Wat sen, A. H. Ketcham, <A. L. Whitney and W. T. Chambers as directors an¢ it receives not one dollar from the Methodist church or the University o! Denver. It is a law unto itself and is allied with the university only in a re ciprocal relation. THESE ARE THE ABSOLUTE FACTS IN THE CASE THEY ARE KNOWN TO ALL IN VESTIGATORS. ANY STATEMEN' DIFFERING FROM THEM Is BROUGHT ABOUT BY THE LACK OF INFORMATION OF THE SPEAK. ER OR HIS DELIBERATE FALSI FICATION. It must be apparent that to pass over the part played by the directors of the Dental College and fasten the whole blame on Chancellor Buchtel— ind that not in order to right a wrong but to bring about his defeat for gov rnoer—is to play dirty polities, an¢ that in such a manner as places the perpetrators of the deed outside the pale of decency. Even if it was pos sible to believe that misstatement: cencerning this unfortunate affai «rese from honest mistake we coule forgive, but what shall be said of the Judases stooping to political dirty work to ingratiate themselves into the good graces of Democracy? We re spect Negroes who are honestly Demo cratic, but a manly part in polities is demanded of us all no matter wha our affiliations may be. Up to the time when Chancellor Buchtel accepted the nomination ot the Republican ticket for governo there was none so ignorant nor low as to say of him that he was not a frien¢ of the Negro. His good work for the colored edu cational institutions of the South an¢ for the Freedman’s Aid commende¢ him to our people all over the coun try. His interest in colored students who attended the university, even go ing so far as to contribute money from his own means, was likewise known tc our people in this section.

Then, too, we knew of the lessons he learned in early life from an abolition- ist father, of the practical illustrations he had of the kinship of all mankind by the operations of the underground rajiroad through hig state. Ali these facts were known in a greater or less degree, and none was so biased as to accuse him of prejudice up to the time of his nomination. IT IS A FACT UNDISPUTED AND !NDENI- ABLE THAT CHANCELLOR BUCH- TEL DID MAKE A REQUEST OF THE DENTAL COLLEGE DIREC- TORS THAT THEY GRANT ADMIS- SION TO JOHNSON. IT IS A FACT THAT IN THE MEDI- CAL COLLEGE AND EVERY DEPARTMENT OVER WHICH HE HAS CONTROL AND TO WHOSE FINANCIAL SUPPORT HE CONTRIBUTES, STUDENTS ARE ADMITTED WITHOUT DISTINC- TION. How, then, in common sense, can anyone believe that he will give the lie to his whole former course of procedure, break the rule which he has for all other departments and ac- quiesce in refusing a colored student in the Dental College? We Negroes denounce the general accusations against the race because of individ- uals’ crimes, and it is just as unfair to accuse Chancellor Buchtel of the sing of the Dental College directors. The truth ig that Democratic money is working! A conspiracy is on foot! A friend is to be traduced for political advantage of the Democrats! Mark the perpetrators of this outrage! For the sake of others who have be- friended us as has Chancellor Buchtel and who might think similar treat- ment awaits all our friends, we hope the better part of the conspirators may gain ascendency and that they may desist.

Mrs. Syl Stewart has returned to the city after a visit in Kansas and elsewhere. Rey. Ford spent Sunday in Pueblo, where he preached the sermon of in- stallation for Rev.

The high-class service of the repair department of the Jackson Shoe Com- pany at 1865 Curtis street is making business especially brisk with this new enterprise. More than three hundred people were at the Mecca cafe Wednesday evening attending the Hallowe'en so- cial, Never before was such an im- mense crowd seen at this popular meeting place. The cafe has added on the new department, which “cost Mr. and Mrs. Lacy nearly $1,000. This makes it without doubt the premier re- sort of the West, and it rivals any- thing anywhere else in the country conducted by colored people. Again and again were salvos of applause given the proprietors. The music and the beautifully decorated rooms, gay with bunting and palms, with the pret- tily dressed ladies and gallant men, tables loaded down with the best the market affords, made this one evening the finest of the many grana ones that have been since the cafe was opened three years ago. A cordial invitation ix extended to all to call and inspect ‘the new department. It will be open next Monday evening, when there will be the usual social, with Holley’s or- chestra in attendance. The standard of entertaining and the conduct of the guests are frreproachable, and it is a genuine treat to be present at the Mecca socials. Mr. and Mrs. Lacy have come far to be the proprietors ot such a place in the short time of three years, to be considered the premier bonifaces of a section as large as half the country, yet such has push accom- plished, and it is all for the home and transient people to share for the effort of going there. Everybody agreed that was present Wednesday that “Hot Bill's” train was a good one to travel on.
