In the good old days of long ago, when the sceptre of power was held and wielded by the Cooks, our schools were free from politics. They were the best schools in the country for the training of youth where colored men controlled the educational policy. Under this great family of Cooks justice and merit got sweet rewards. Indeed, there was a steady advance which told and tells in the lives of men and women who are out in the world to-day. The merit system was the rule under George F. T. Cook; he was the great father of the teachers and the children. Selfish, yes, but a great and lofty character who saw into the future and in his day, and his days were many in our schools, he wrought not for himself, but for the future. He rendered his share and part in the great cause; and only fell when politics displaced merit. Mr. F. L. Cardozo, Sr. When Mr. George F. T. Cook so helpfully wielded the sceptre of power, Mr. F. L. Cardozo, Sr., was serving in our schools. That he served long and well all agree. He gave to the schools, if not that quick initiative shown by others, an exemplary life, which has left its trace in the lives of those who came under his influence. Mr. Cardozo gave many years of earnest, honest, helpful service to this school system. He knew the world and brought to his ```markdown ``` DENVER, COLORADO, FRIDAY, NOV. 9, 1906 task as a teacher a wealth of experience which is quietly and surely doing its work now. But good upright men alone were insufficient to meet the conditions which were pressing upon the people for solution—insufficient, we mean, to thwart a political scheme which was destined to end in disaster and ruin for the educational system of our city, yet the tragedy came. The Rise of Blanch K. Bruce to Power and the Entry of Politics Into Our Schools—Cooks and Cardozo Undone. Upon the advent of Blanch K. Bruce to power in the world of politics, when the whites accepted him as the political spokesman of the colored people, eager and ambitious colored men and women politicians sought his favor; became his friends. Among those who became the intimates of Mr. Bruce were Mr. Robert H. and Mrs. Mary Church Terrell. Shortly after this friendship was formed between the Terrels and Mr. Bruce a plan was brought to light whereby Mr. Cardozo was to be put down. For a year an unsuccessful campaign was waged. The calcium light was turned on and we beheld the serpent of politics. Standing in the light and line of power and political preferment—for it was political then—were Mr. and Mrs. Terrell. Dr. W. S. Montgomery, then as now, was pitted against the man to be deposed; and Cardozo fell. Cook went State Historian & Natural History Society TATES ADO, FRIDAY, NOV. 9, 1906. down in the wreck, for politics had entered and only those who knew how to play the game could find favor with the barons of power. Dr. W. S. Montgomery went to the head of the M. Street High school. But one step more was to be taken. Mrs. Terrell was placed on the School Board, Dr. Montgomery was made a supervising principal and Mr. Robert H. Terrell was placed at the head of the M. Street High school; whereupon Mrs. Terrell resigned from the School Board. Politics had entered and the tragedy had begun. The first act of the tragedy had displaced Mr. George F. T. Cook and Mr. F. L. Cardoso, two of the best men the schools have ever had, and politics had entered. All of us who know the world know that when politics enter the temple of justice; when they become the modus operandi, merit dies and cunning and power rule. The Era of Fights and Confusion. Dr. W. S. Montgomery was put up step by step. The downfall of Mr. Cook became his fortune and he was made the assistant superintendent. During this period in which men and women were struggling for place and power, Mr. Robert H. Terrell, following his ambitions, became a justice of the peace and left the schools. Then came Mr. Cooper to the fore. Mrs. Cooper became the principal of the high school for colored children. During her incumbency, whether due to her shortcomings or not, there was a conflict going on which spread until it reached national proportions. The friends of Mrs. Cooper, led by Prof. Kelly Miller of Howard University, through our good friend, James F. Bundy, insisted that Mrs. Cooper was always right. But Mrs. Cooper had enemies among the colored people; she had enemies among her teachers. She also had some fair opponents in her teaching force, and it was these who did so much to convince just judges that a change was necessary; and the change came. We do not judge Mrs. Cooper harshly. We understand that she was the victim of politics that had crept into the schools. She found these conditions and was unable to meet them ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` MAN NO. 14 NO.14 and win. She was a teacher and an easy victim to the wiles of designing colored politicians and caste projectors among the whites. Beyond all this, however, Mrs. Cooper fell through bad advice. Congress Comes to the Rescue. As time swept apace, B. K. Bruce passed from the stage of action and life. Booker T. Washington, with his industrial propaganda and preachments of political effacement, became the idol of the gods of politics and won the place relinquished by B. K. Bruce. Like Bruce he became the dictator and counsellor for the political destiny of the colored people. And as in the past with Bruce, Mr. Robert H. and Mrs. Mary Church Terrell soon found favor with this new dispenser of political favors. The troubles in the schools had become so violent and threatening until it was necessary for Congress to make a change, as it thought for the better. Accordingly, Congress, after investigation, enacted a law for the schools of the District of Columbia, placing the power of appointment of a new school board in the judges of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia. Nearly everybody welcomed this reform, this change, which would eliminate the game of politics. A new school board was appointed and among its members was Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, the friend of the political dictator of the colored people. The Operations of the New Board and Cardozo's Fall. The new Board of Education appointed a superintendent of the name of Chancellor from New Jersey. He was a reformer and began his reforms. The result was confusion. The best people the system had ever had were removed from the schools and the work which used to be for a common good became a chess board of politics for favor and advantage. Dr. W. S. Montgomery was made the assistant superintendent, and, as in the past, he was to be played off against a Cardozo and shield the Italian hand which was destroying him. This was done in a bygone regime by those who had the favor of the "BOSS." Hence, charges were made that Mr. Frank Cardozo, Jr., had been disloyal to Dr. Continued on page four. see oe ; =a 5 2 ca wey & wok ow . ry: » —- 5 d= :.* Daan a” Ee, OS ara re i a a” a A . i ee i cs i y LAs a Chas § TS ie Se are ~ Sy be Pe 4 aR ae eae ae Vey | at bf) a) eae NOX \ A) A rae x .

A surprise was ten. dered Rev. Dyett at the parsonage, THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Some time ago, for convenience, a number of accounts for subscriptions due this paper were placed with an agency for collection. A notice of the fact and the reason was published. Still some have felt aggrieved at our deing so. It is a fact that not one person in four gives either prompt re- mittance or reply to a statement of account. It seems that the ordinary course of business does not arouse them sufficiently. Yet these same people pay promptly as soon as they interpret our action to mean that we believe them to be bad pay. Sub- scribers, don’t blame the management, but next time when statements come to you, at least acknowledge their re cetpt. Do not think now that we mean all are lax, but so many are guilty that collection has been hampered EXPERIMENTS ON THE BRAIN. Slectrie Current Used to Induce Sleeg —Sensation Felt. Experiments on the brain of a living @ebject with electric currents have been comparatively rare, as there has Drevailed among physicians and phys fologists the idea that such a course @ experimentation was extremely dan gerous, says Harper's Weekly. There have recently been published, how. ever, records of some experiments car. ried on by M. S. Leduc, with the obfee of using the electric currant to pro duce sleep and of studying its effects | on the brain generally. In early experiments it was shown that the brain fs the best conductor o electricity In the human body, being about 3,000 times more conductuns than muscle. It was also observeo that when a continuous current was passed through the head from one ear to the other the sensation of gid«pess ‘vas produced and that objects ap peured to revolve in the same direc tion as the current flowed. However, when the electrodes are placed on the forehead and neck and the current sent from back to front the effecta are innocuous so long as a mild current Is used and in some cases may be bene ficial. According to M. Leduc, the Most satisfactory current {3 one of four milliamperes at thirty volts, which is broken or interrupted 100 times a second for nine-tenths of the period of the interruption. The frst effect noted was the disappearance of the faculty of speech, after which fol- lowed the loss of the motor faculties. Under ordinary conditions there {s no affection of the respiration or pulse unless the current {s increased, and then it may cease. The patient is sald to awaken instantaneously from the electric sleep and to experience a fcel- fog of refreshment.

Too Much for the Old Man. The North Atchison boys tell a Story on Joe Henderson. Joe {s the father of Jess Henderson, the athlete who used to be rated as the strongest man in town. When Jess was about 15 years old, and after he had taken boxing lessons several months, Joe at- tempted to box his ears. After trying his best, Joe couldn't hit Jess. Jess was too “scienced:” so father Joe went into the house and said to his wife “Mamma, what's the matter with our Jess? He needs a whipping, but I can’t hit him."—Atchison Globe. Queer Present for Jockey. Early In his career Fordham, the freat English rider, received perhaps the most remarkable present ever of- fered to a jockey. He had, by bril- Mant horsemanship, pulled off a race on a horse which started a complete outsider, and had won something lke $50,000 for its fortunate owner. Not unnaturally the jockey expected a sub- stantial recognition of his skill, and his feelings may rather be imagined than described when the owner gave hm a pat on the back and placed i= his hand a package of candy.

OLD CHURCH FEASTS ENJOYMENTS IN THE DAYS OF "MERRIE ENGLAND." Bazars and Tea Parties of Modern Days Had Their Prototypes Long Ago—Records Show Much Money Raised by Harmless Festivities. curious light is thrown on ancient church bazars and charity balls by certain records kept in some of the churches in England. For instance, in the records of Yateley church, which date from 1543, are frequent references to "church ales," the object of which was to get money for church expenses. The feast was organized by the church wardens, "who provided a good spread at so much a head, and credited the profits to the church expenditure." It first appears as the "church ale," then as the "king's ale," then later as "our banquet at Whitsuntide." It was probably held in the church and went on until 1643, the year after the civil war broke out, when, probably, the puritans put an end to such festivities. It was popular, evidently. One enterprising church warden has left on record all the good things which were prepared for the Crondall "church ale" in the year 1587. They had a band, brewed a quantity of ale and made a profit of $42. As money was then worth nearly ten times as much as now the "church ale" may be said to have brought in about $400, which was just 100 percent on the outlay. The band was hired for four days. Until 1545 the church wardens kept a church cow and let it out at 33 cents a year. A sheep and a lamb (gifts) they let out for 8 cents a year, probably for the wool. Payments for incense and for an enormous Easter candle of wax were regular items. The parliamentary soldiers made earthworks in the churchyard and the puritans later had a small marble font made. The puritan font is still there, though displaced in its turn. On All Saints' day a little tax was levied of a farthing on each chimney. All Saints' was the dedication day of the church. This tax was called "smoke farthings." From 1543 one parishioner seems to have acted as "dog whipper." "To Whelan, for beating dogs out of church, twopence," is the oldest entry, and as late as 1819 a dog whipper was appointed at a salary of $5.25. At Yateley they got a new pair of stocks and a new whipping post in 1774 and in 1776 a parish umbrella to hold over the parson at funerals. The parish aided the gamekeeper and farmer by paying head money for sparrows' heads, foxes, hedgehogs, polecats and haws (both the latter chicken killers). Spelling was not very good in the early eighteenth century. Affidavit of legal burials is spelt "after david." Jane Had to Celebrate. When the news of the great Japanese naval victory reached Pittsburg a company of acrobats from the island empire were appearing afternoon and evening in a circus. On being assured of the Russian overthrow they promptly went on strike for a day, positively refusing to work. Instead they proceeded to decorate the city a vivid red, carefully refraining from any breach of the law, however. They were allowed full liberty. 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 toll. —Henry Van Dyke J.W. Jackson Manager.

Barbara Pope Jim-Crow Car Case in Virginia Goes Up One Notch on Appeal—Defense Fund Started by Mr. Norman—Will Take $3,000 to Push Case to Supreme Court. Washington, D. C., Oct. 24.—The case of the commonwealth of Virginia vs. Barbara E. Pope was heard in the Alexandria County Circuit Court last Monday and Tuesday. Mr. Frederick L. McKhee, head of the legal department of the Niagara movement, came from St. Paul, Minnesota, and argued the case on behalf of Miss Pope. The decision of the circuit court was adverse to the defendant, and an appeal was noted to the court of appeals, and will probably come up for argument in January, 1907. Captain Isaac F. Norman, a wealthy colored farmer of Falls Church, Virginia, who has twice before qualified as Miss Pope's bondsman, has again done the same thing. Too much praise cannot be bestowed on Captain Norman for his unselfish part in this case. Not only has he done this, but he has contributed $5 to the defense fund, and if necessary will contribute $100.

The church is preparing for a grand rally on the third Sunday in December. At the suggestion of the pastor the members are organizing into clubs of ten persons. These clubs will work faithfully until rally day, when the reports will be made, and it is hoped that not less than $500 will be raised for improvements on the property, and to free the church from all debt before the new year. The Ladies' Sewing Circle will meet on Thursday afternoon at the parsonage to perfect arrangements for the Thanksgiving dinner. The circle has been busy making aprons, all of which are sold as fast as finished. The pastor, Rev. R. W. Johnson, has been presented with a splendid bicycle by members. This gift will enable him to make many more visits among the people. You are all invited to the services on Sunday. The morning worship begins promptly at 11 o'clock. Sunday school at 3 o'clock and evening worship at 7:30. Much credit is due to the children of the Junior B. Y. P. U. for the sweet music which they rendered at the young people's meeting at 6:30 last Sunday night. The junior choir will sing again next Sunday at the B. Y. P. U. and all of the older people as well as the younger members and friends are invited to be present at 6:30 p.m. Sunday. Mothers, send your children to the junior meeting at 10 o'clock Sunday morning. This meeting will be very helpful to your children.

The county of Lunenburg, in Nova Scotia, was settled by Germans, and the children of these settlers are still German, says an eastern writer. At one of the little hotels in the town of the same name a party of drummers were waiting for the boat. They were well primed, and ready for any lark, when in strolled a well known character, Nell Hyson, also a little "sprung." In the parlor stood a solitary individual dressed in the garb of a minister. Neil spied this man, and asked the leader of the jokers if he thought the stranger would drink with him. "Sure," said the leader, "but he is the bishop of Nova Scotia, and you must call him 'my lord.' Hyson marched up to the stranger, and giving him a familiar slap on the back, shouted: "Mine Gott, bishop, you drinks mitt me!" What the fiery bishop said (he was none other than Bishop Courtney, former preacher at St. Paul's, Boston) I did not learn. Altitude and Volce Generally speaking, races living at high altitudes have weaker and more highly-pitched voices than those living in regions where the supply of mygen is more plentiful. Thus, in America, among the Indians living on the plateau between the ranges of the Andes, at an elevation of from 10,000 feet to 14,000 feet, the men have voices like women, and women like children, and their singing is a charil sonotone. --- Proprietors.

His services in the schools, like those of his father, were of the best. He gave character and strength and was rightfully called the true teacher. He rose by his own energy from the first grade in the schools to the lofty position of supervising principal. But what care politicians about merit? And Mr. Frank Cardozo, with the intimates of the political dictator at the helm, was deposed. It is said now, as it was said in the past, that Mr. Robert H. Terrell is to be placed in the schools and that his wife, as she did in the past, is then to resign from the Board of Education. Mr. Montgomery, who has been played off against the Cardozos, cannot go any higher; reduction will be his portion in the future. He has been used well. Mr. Terrell is to come into his position, and the men who championed the system unpolluted by politics will be gone forever. Others may rise up and win and take the system back to the standard where it was in the days of the Cooks and Cardozos and Powells; but it will be many years before peace can be restored; for when politics enters a pure and lofty system, no man can foresee the end. In this we do not mean to arraign any one, we simply mean to picture roughly an evolution, showing how the great families of the Cooks and Cardozos have gone out of the system, and how at each change the schools have suffered. The Terrells hold the sceptre of power to-day. They are the friends of Booker T. Washington; they have power. The responsibility is theirs and the people look to them to see that justice is done the colored people and that the general welfare is protected. The Future. What the future will be no man can tell. The present is its mirror and the reflection shows turmoil, confusion and ruin. The present difficulty will be looked into at Congress this winter and the question must be settled there. We can only wish for the return of the days when the era of peace and progress was all powerful; the day when the Cooks and Cardozos reigned; for in their day we had a system which told for good and truth. Then there were no enemies to punish and no friends to reward. The opportunity is Mrs. Terrell's to bring order out of chaos, and in such an attempt we will give her our little mite. The past is not full of glory and good, but there is always room for good. Let us think of the children in the future. For them we should live and labor. And like the lowly Nazarene, let us say, "If I am lifted up, I will draw all men unto me." The future is full of hope and promise, lent none fail to do his duty. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Domesticity Barred. The United States government has made known its decision that neither husband nor wife can be subordinate to the other in a government office, such a state of things being considered subversive of discipline and good service. This was made known on the occasion of the chief clerk in the United States engineering office at Seattle, Wash., wishing to marry one of the women clerks under him. --- Pasted Plaster on a Bandbox. Several years ago a Turner (Me.) physician was called to prescribe for a young woman. He ordered the mother to apply a plaster to the patient's chest. The following day he called to see if his advice had been followed, and, finding the patient about the house, was complimenting his good judgment when the old lady informed him that, as there was no chest in the house, she had pasted the plaster on a bandbox. Edwin Booth's Fondness for Tobacco Without a cigar was Edwin Booth, the tragedian, scarcely ever seen. Even while engaged on his professional duties his beloved weed was present in the wings, ready to be snatched from his dresser's hand for enjoyment during the sometimes exceedingly brief intervals between his exits and entrances. Twenty-five cigars a day were at one time his usual allowance—an allowance, however, not infrequently exceeded. NO RED TAPE Denver, Colo., Oct. 12. American Life, City.

Say Colored Ministers at New York Conference—Ordering Colored Sol- diers Back to Trial in Texas Cited, Also Silence on Murdering of Col- ored People in South While He Ap- peals for Jews in Russia. New York, Oct. 23—Some of the delegates to the convention of the Union A. M. E. Church in this city said at to-day’s session that President Roosevelt's attitude toward colored people had changed. The Rey. Alfred Price of Chester, Pennsylvania, and other colored clergymen based their remarks on the President's decision to order the Negro troops of the Twenty- fifth regiment back to Brownsville, Texas, to be tried in connection with the recent clash between the troops and civilians, “The President has changed won- derfully within the last two or three years in his attitude on the race ques- tion, said the Rev. Dr. Fernandus. “Ke is not now taking the fearless stand that he once took for the race of which the Negro soldiers who saved his life at San Juan are a part He can appeal in behalf of the Jews, the Cubans, and the Filipinos, and talk of the Panama canal and the trust capitalists, but nothing is heard of the lynching, burning and murder of Ne- groes. The time ig here when the Negr omust speak out. If he does not demand his rights he should have none.” —Guardian. Their Opinion of Babies. When Mark Twain, nursing his first born, was asked by a friend if he loved t, he drawled, in reply: “I don't ex: tetly love it, but—I respect it.” Dr, fohnson was of somewhat the same »pinion, for when Boswell asked what te would do if he were shut up in » tastle with a newborn infant the doe lor confessed he should prefer soll- ade. When Charles Lamb was asked tow he liked babies he made stutter. bg answer, “Madam, I like them bb-ofled.” WESTERN UNIVERSITY.

West 15 A QUESTION OF INFERENCE. Substitute Teacher Asked for Point of Information. It was at the summer school for teachers. The professor of sociology was young and sood-looking, also he was lecturing. At the end of the first form sat the substitute teacher. She, too, was young and her gown of shimmery stuff was immensely becoming to her. Of the latter fact the substitute teacher was entirely aware, so she sat with down- cast eyes and seemed demurely uncon- scious when the professor of sociology addressed some of his most brilliant remarks directly to herself. The professor of sociology was speaking of marriage; but something —his youth perhaps, or the subtle in- fluence of the summer weather—had lightened the gravity of his theme in such wise that he handled it playfully, and half reverently, half humorously, he quoted the final sentences of the ceremony used by the church. His voice was pleasant, the last words of the well-known formula falling melli- fluously from his lips. As he ended, he turned again with a smile and a bow to the substitute teacher. “There!” he said impressively. “See how easily you are given away?” The substitute teacher raised her shy eyes. “Am I—am I to infer,” she hesitated innocently, “that the gentle- man in the case has been sold?”—The Sunday Magazine. Rachel's Dread of 13. The great actress Rachel had a hor- ror of the number thirteen, and never would sit down to table with twelve other guests. She did so once, and almost immediately afterward she be- came ill and had to go to Egypt for her health’s sake. When she came back M. Arsene Houssaye, one of the guests, went to see her at her house near Montpellier. “Do you remember our dinner, after the revival of ‘Angelo'?” she asked him—her part in Victor Hugo's “An gelo.” “Do you remember? We were thirteen. “Your wife is dead, Victor Hugo and his wife are in exile at Jersey, Mme. de Girardin {s dead, Gerard de Nerval has committed suicide, De Musset {s dead, so are the Comte d'Orsay and Perree, and as for me, I shall not live up to the first of Janu- ary.” She did, but only till the 34— the third of January 1858.

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.

OT BOTH SKULL AND BONES Colored Man Amply Proved He Had Sense of Fear. Not many years ago Col. Prescott of Portland, Me., had a negro servant who, he claimed, did not know what fear was. One evening while the colonel was with friends a bet was made that a number of those present could scare the negro. About 12 o'clock on the night appointed for the attempt Col. Prescott called his servant to his study, and in a harsh voice ordered him to go to tomb 12 in a nearby cemetery and bring him a skull. With a jolly "All right, massa," the servant set off. In the mean time the other parties to the bet had secreted themselves in the tomb and awaited the arrival of the negro. As soon as the servant entered he groped around and picked up a skull. "Put that down; that's mine," came another voice out of the darkness. Nothing daunted, the negro laid it down and picked up another. "Put that down; that's mine," came another voice out of the darkness. He laid that down, and exclaimed: "Golly, somebody owns all these skulls, but I'm going to have this one, anyway," and, picking up another skull, he ran out of the tomb. The men in the tomb were pretty much frightened themselves by this time, and started after the negro, who, without turning around, ran straight for his master's house. Rushing into the study, he laid down the skull, exclaiming: "Massa, here's the skull; the bones are coming after." HE MAS TO HAVE A PRINTER. So a Maine Editor Puts an "Ad" In His Own Paper to Get One. "I have work for a printer. It's steady work and pay every Saturday night after the first week. My help usually stay from four to twenty years with me—several have stopped until they were called to cross the river to whose bourne all printers are journeying. "Write me, tell honestly what you can do and what you don't do. Give references and state wages wanted and say whether married or single, also tell us how old you are and the color of your hair and eyes. "We are fussy, particular, but our acts are largely controlled by 'the back shop crowd,' made up of five girls, all good lookers, two married women, a husband and the devil. They run the show and get the money, occasionally permitting me to make suggestions. "We want to replace one who has been called higher—to higher wages. Speak right up now if you want to join the pack. We need you and will pay a fair price for your services. "No objections to a man with a family." "If you don't want the job and have a friend who does, write him, get word to him, we have the room and can afford to have one more man about the establishment. Be sure to put the 'esquire' on the envelope and address Fred W. Sanborn, Menagerie Manager of the Norway (Me.) Advertiser. "Do it now. "P. S.—Long-necked, high-collared cigarette smokers not wanted."—Norway Advertiser. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Her "German" Understood. Her stock of German was canty. The day after her arrival in Berlin she went to make a purchase. After she had made known her wishes in halting German the old woman who waited upon her exclaimed: "Is the fraulein an American?" The fraulein was. "And do they all speak like you?" continued the old German. On receiving an affirmative answer she lifted her hands to heaven with the words: "Thank God! My boy went to America to escape the conscription. He does not speak a word of English, but if they all speak like you, my poor boy will understand every word." Not Original With Dumas. Many have laughed over the reply of the elder Damas—who was familiar with bailiffs—when he was asked to aid in defraying the expense of burying one of these gentlemen, who had died in great destitution. Being told that the amount desired was 25 francs, the great romancer pulled 15 napoleons from his pocket and exclaimed: "Twenty-five francs to bury a bailiff! Take all I've got, and bury a dozen of 'em!" This story has been traced to the native utterance of a French provincial magnate, as recorded by Tellemant des Reaux. Doctrinal Differences. The doctrinal differences between the Greek church, of which the Czar is the head, and the Church of Rome, of which it was a part until the council of Nice, in 787, are: The Holy Ghost proceeds from the Son as well as from the Father. This belief of the Eastern church, which had its metropolis at Constantinople, caused the split. The Greek church worships angels, the secular clergy are enjoined to marry once, and with a virgin; idols are used, the doctrine of purgatory is rejected, baptism is by immersion, followed by anointing with oil. Charity in Speech. If women would only bear in mind that they may need the world's good word themselves some day they would be more careful in what they say and how they say it. Charity is of thought as well as deed. It is not restricted to the feeding of the hungry and the clothing of the poor. It is as much needed among the rich as among any other class. A woman is a blessing to humanity who tempers justice with mercy, and who keeps her verdicts to herself when she sits in judgment on her friends. Fir Stump of Odd Design. Posing as an altar in the Grant's Pass (Or) lodgeroom is an odd-looking fir stump, its top shaped like a human head. Even the features grew there naturally and except for a little carving to improve one eye, no alteration was necessary after a woodman discovered the curio in the midst of the forest. A right ear is the only lacking feature. There is even a beard—represented by a white fungus growth. The First Glass Cupa. The first glass cups were made at Alexandria. Some were colored like Bohemia glass and decorated with glass pastes, imitating precious stones and cameos. Some were opaline, others clear as crystal and still others formed of opaque layers welded together like the famous Portland vase, in which the white upper layer had been cut away like that of a cameo, having a blue ground around the figures.

Peace and Prosperity The campaign is over and the victory is won. The wisdom of the Republican party in conducting the affairs of the state as one would a private business, making use of the knowledge gained from exprience rather than making the state an experimental station for legislation, has received the strongest possible endorsement from voters. While it is clear that the merit of the party and its superiority over the opposition is the basic reason for victory, it would have been impossible except for the superb management of the campaign by State Chairman John F Vivian and his executive committee. It was only a year ago that Republicans were so far at variance that the aid of courts was invoked to settle their differences. More recently during the state convention, the war of factions was bitter. Out of it was brought peace and harmony such as few parties ever have in campaigns of similar importance. The credit for this wonderful work all belongs to the party managers. It takes more than mere suavity to coalesce party factions. Justice must be given to the contending parties and not merely kind words. It is in this that Chairman Vivian has excelled and the results speak for themselves. Two years ago the result of the election was disputed and this time Democracy asked for a vindication—and got it. Colored Republicans have an additional reason for congratulating themselves upon the happy choice of the party for campaign manager. It has meant to them that for the first time in the history of the party in Colorado we have had a manly share. Through the perfect co-operation our leader, J. W. Jackson, has had with Mr. Vivian, we have been enabled to feel that our offering to the Republican party is received in the broad spirit of patriotism and party loyalty in which it is offered. He always seemed pleased to devote time and attention to complaints we had or suggestions we would make, --- THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO.

In conversation, he said: "I wish to thank colored Republicans of Denver and the state for the loyal support they have given the party. They have been a host in furthering its interests and their efforts and sacrifices deserve recognition from the party, and so far as my influence goes they shall have it." He spoke in the highest terms of the work done by our workers and praised J. W. Jackson's administration of affairs. The good offices of Mr. Vivian have been given to further the satisfactory settlement of some matters already, and from the results obtained the Statesman feels that colored Republicans have in him a valuable friend. President Roosevelt has always enjoyed the reputation of a man absolutely fearless in doing what he saw fit to do. But in the last two weeks he has shown the white feather. Two weeks ago we quoted a press dispatch wherein he threatened to dismiss from the army the colored troops implicated in the trouble in Texas in two or three days unless they gave up to the authorities the guilty ones of their number. Instead of so many days, it was weeks before the President acted, and then he waited until his action could not be heralded to the country before election. In Illinois, in Indiana and many of the north central states, the majorities of Republican Congressmen would have gone glimmering if the President had sooner made good his threat to compel the troops to turn informer. In Russia, the Czar, a despot, ordered killed 500 people who could not or would not tell who was the assassin of their mayor only a few weeks ago. Now comes a Republican President going as far in that direction as he dares. It is singular indeed that Roosevelt does such unaccountable things where colored soldiers are con- --- A Grand Mask Thanksgiving ball Positively no unmasking Grand prizes to the best mask Not one penny will it cost you to check your wraps, hats or overcoats We want to do something for you so we check them free This is your only chance for a grand Thanksgiving Ball HARRIS FULL ORCHESTRA TUESDAY, NOV. 27 Given by Rice Lodge Drill Team No. 39, I.

We have hardly forgiven him for calling them cowards when the facts were that their bravery saved his life and his whole command, when now he makes the un-manly and un-American demand that they "snitch." In the face of the fact that they would get typical southern justice at the end of a rope over a tree limb, if even accused and turned over to the civil authorities, the President seems still more unreasonable. Secretary of War Taft had best clear his skirts of the matter if the colored vote in doubtful states can unmake his Presidential aspirations. We congratulate the black soldiers that they have stuck together in defense of their rights, for certainly the service of the country does not deprive them of the safeguards that the law gives them before entering the service. We would rather see the army deserted of blacks even under the same condition of dishonorable discharge than to see them yield to Roosevelt's demand. The ownership he has of their time and lives as commander in chief does not extend to their thoughts. The victory of the Republican party in this state was stupendous both in its unexpected one-sidedness and in its crushing defeat of "reformers." It can hardly be interpreted as an un- A Grand prizes to the best mask you to check your wraps, hats do something for you so we your only chance for a grand ORCHESTRA NOV. 27 qualified endorsement of all things which the Republican party has done in this state—for what thing human is perfect?—but is a decisive repudiation of the negative virtues of Democracy. The party that lives only to criticize, which has day dreams and is unable to carry its ideas into practice, is not one which appeals to a matter-of-fact world. It prefers a party of mistakes that does things, to one that does no evil because it does nothing at all. The Republican party can point with pride to its good works and our common humanity will plead for its mistakes. At any rate, Patterson and the United Order of Kickers will have plenty of time to foment trouble in, for the Republican party will save them the trouble of running the government for two years more.
