XVIII THE LIGHT BEGINS The President Wants Brownsville Per People The Brownsville episode holds the center of the stage today as it did last week, and it seems that Foraker is going to win in the struggle. But during the fight it has developed that no investigation is wanted by the executive. But the country demands an investigation and it is to be had and the whole truth of the inglorious affair presented to the country. We are not yet ready to believe that the soldiers are guilty, and we regret that sa good a man as Senator Culberson of Texas has to take the position in the wrong against his conscience to gratify a constituency which is the storm center of Negrohater-dom. As a lawyer and a man he knows how false is his position and how greatly he wrongs the men against whom he now lifts his voice. He is a conspicuous example of what the ballot will make a great man do. And it serves to show the power of the ballot in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. We mention this latter fact, because of the position taken by the senators from Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. You may fight on, but we are sure to win in the end, for we are right and must conquer. And it came to pass in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and six there lived a man named Moses, and he was known by the white people of his land as the leader of his people, his people being dark of --- DENVER, COLORADO, FRIDAY, JAN. 11, 1907. color . And in that same year there lived a man who was president of all the white people. He loved this man, Moses, called him greater than all the rest and made him dictator of the people of darker hue. Moses was told that he had a mission; and that mission was to keep all his people in their places. But his people were restless; they thought that they ought to be free, yet Moses said, No. And Moses went to and fro in the earth telling his people to be humble and love their white neighbors, stop voting, remain a thing apart from the other members of the American body politic and the body social. But his people rebelled; they wanted to be voters, they wanted to get education and have their civil and even social rights. This made the god of Moses angry, and he went to work to teach how to keep the people of Moses in their place. Moses was directed to go forth and tell his people that they were harboring criminals, and that each man, woman and child in the race was hereby directed to become a self-appointed policeman, and catch every member of the race of darker hue, whose ancestors came from Great Britain, who looked like he had committed a crime, had been charged with crime or might commit a crime, and turn the same suspect over to the authorities of the law, the same authorities being of the same color of the president of the white people of "The land of the Free and the Home of the Brave." And Moses went forth. He told his people that they must destroy crime. The white papers of the land applauded this man. His people did not like it. But Moses could not work fast enough to suit the president of the white people; something had to be done to please the southern section of the country. So, a riot, fake or real, was hatched up in a little town in Texas, and the blame for the riot was fixed on the colored soldiers who were stationed in that state. And the president of the white people dismissed all these soldiers without honor, without giving the men dismissed a trial. This rash act did not suit some of the white people, and some of the white leaders criticised what the god of Moses did, and all the colored people, these same people who had rebelled against Moses before, with one voice condemned what the god of Mises did in dismissing the black soldiers. Moses did not like this. He went to and fro again declaring no one should dare criticise the god of Moses. But his people were again disobedient and got a vial of wrath from Moses' god. And now Moses does not know what to do. He is the leader of ten million people, and he is the only one who agrees with his god. Moses is a lonely leader, now. Oh! what will Moses do? The Richard's Literary met last Thursday evening at the home of Miss Grace Campbell, assistant directress of kindergarten work of the District of Columbia public schools. The subject discussed was Toussaint L. Overture and the founding of the Haytian nation. The principal paper was read by Miss Clotile Houston. Miss Houston gave a brief biographical scetch of Toussaint, reviewing his birth, the lowly conditions out of which he came, the education which Toussaint acquired and how the training which he gained as a soldier, the clean life which he led, the way in which he organized his people and fought to a successful termination the only war of its kind in the history of the world, the broad humanity of the man, his statesmanship and love for all his people of whatever color and his admonition to them, as his children, to see to it that the nation which he fought for and which he NO.26 ment to the civilization of the man in loved so well would remain a monu-black. And then she told of the end; the dark, dismal, broken-hearted ending in the frozen dungeon of Switzerland, under the cruel hand of the heartless Napoleon. Going on she pointed out the effect which the life of Toussaint had upon the American Negro, how the example hangs like a funeral pall over the white south, and like a halo of glory over the Negro. Miss Evelyn Lynch read a short paper on the life and character of Dessalines, the lieutenant and compatriot of Toussaint in the war for independence in Hayti. She told of the manner in which Dessalines avenged the death of Toussaint, how he finished the work which the betrayal of his great chief and compatriot had left to his hands. Mr. Minkins then read an account of the celebration of the services of Dessalines which took place recently in the Island of Hayti. The whole island, from infants to statesmen and warriors, after a century had passed, realized after they had slain the faithful and powerful Dessalines, as the Romans realized after they had slain the noble Reinze, that he was truly great and fought, not for himself, but for Hayti and her children, to save her to the immortal memory of Toussaint. A general discussion followed the reading of the papers, and it was the consensus of opinion among those who were present that there has never lived a man, in ancient or modern times, who equalled the feat performed by Toussaint in throwing off the yoke of the oppressor by rising from slavery and striking the blow, unaided, either by help or example from without. We have mentioned this meeting at length, because the colored people, at this time in their history, need to be reminded of the possibilities of the Negro. They need to know the life of Toussaint, what he did and how he did it. A few more months and the Press Bureau will cease. One of its members, whose active work has kept it going thus far, will have to take up another work, which will take his time and energy and preclude him from going on with the work which he feels needs to be done and in Continued on Editorial WEALTH OF THE WORLD. Four Hundred Billion Dollars Is Estimated Total. The total wealth of the world, while not exactly known, has been estimated at $400,000,000,000, says Gunton's magazine. This is probably an underestimate of the actual amount of money and property in civilized and semicivilized lands. Of this total the greater part is owned by Americans and Europeans. The United States has somewhere near $100,000,000,000, or about one-fourth of the whole. The United Kingdom is the richest country of Europe, its wealth being estimated at £11,806,000,000, or £302 per capita. Of the total England's share was £10,062,000,000; Scotland's, £1,094,000,000; Ireland's, £650,000,00. In American money (at $4.8 pound sterling) Great Britain's wealth in 1895 was $56,668,800,000. A recent estimate makes it $59,000,000,000, or $1,442 per capita (in 1891). The annual income of England's population is said to be $5,600,000,000 while the yearly saving is $1,948,000,000. It should be remembered that a large amount of British capital is also invested in the colonies of the empire and in foreign lands. France is the next richest nation of Europe. Mulhall estimated its wealth in 1895 at £9,690,000,000, or £257 per capita. A recent estimate of France's wealth makes it $48,000,000,000, or $1077 per capita (1901). According to Mulhall, Germany's wealth in 1895 was £8,052,000,000 or £156 per capita. Prussia's share was more than half (£4,940,000,000); Bavaria's, £949,000,000; Saxony's, £456,000,000; Wurtemberg's, £370,000,000, while the smaller German States had £1,337,000,000. According to a more recent estimate, Germany's wealth is $40,000,000,000, or $709 per capita (1901). German money loaned or invested abroad amounts to $3,000,000,000 or more. Russia's wealth in 1895, as Mulhall estimated it, amounted to £6,425,000,000 or £61 per capita. A recent estimate places Russia's wealth at $32,000,000,000, or about $296 per capita (estimating the population in 1901 at 108,000,000). CAUGHT ON TO AMERICAN JOKE Chinese Secretary of Legation Not Much Perplexed by Its Subtleties. "Have you ever been naturalized?" "Yes; but it didn't take." "Now, that is what we Americans call a joke," explained the Washingtonian to the brand-new secretary of the Chinese legation, who has indicated his desire to become conversant with the customs of this country. "You see," he continued, "the word naturalized has been confused with vaccinate." The meaning of the two words was then defined, together with the phrase "didn't take." "When we say the vaccination didn't take, we mean that the virus didn't have the desired effect." With this the Chinaman expressed his admiration for American wit, and a broad smile overspread his face. The conversation was continued in a general way until the wise resident of Washington suddenly fancied it would be humorous to relieve himself of a joke at the expense of the Celestial. With a patronizing air he put a query to the attache in jaw-breaking words, and then laughed at his own brilliancy. The secretary stared blandly at him THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. for a moment, utterly bewildered by the question. His face was expressionless, but he gave a faint smile when the American explained he had been joking. "A joke—yes; but it didn't take," he replied, with a naive smile.—Washington Times. Women and the Looking Glass. Women and the Looking Glass. How much time does a woman spend before her looking-glass? A German estimates that a girl of six to ten spends an average of seven minutes a day before a mirror, from ten to fifteen a quarter of an hour is consumed daily, and from fifteen to twenty, twenty-two minutes. Ladies from twenty to twenty-five occupy twenty-five minutes; from that age to thirty they are at least half an hour at their toilet. Thence there is a decline in coquetry. From thirty to thirty-five the time occupied comes down to twenty-four minutes, from thirty-five to forty it is only eighteen minutes; from forty to fifty, twelve minutes, and from fifty to sixty, only six minutes. A woman of seventy has thus spent 5,862 hours before the glass. In other words, eight months, counting night and day. The Art of Burnt-Wood Workers. Burnt-wood workers are making beautiful things, and are certainly endeavoring to be original. Instead of simply making pipe and book racks, as they used to do, they are working along new lines. A jardiniere made of wood resembles green pottery, and is handsomely decorated with Chinese dragons in a burnt-work design. A nut bowl, which is about the size of a tall cracker jar, is full of tiny perforations. An artistic burnt design of wild roses and their leaves is applied on this surface. In Our Own Writing There is a book where each must write His faith in characters of light. And leave an immemorial page To that shrewd critic men call Age. It is the book of daily life. The human calendar of strife. The fighting annals of mankind. Which God will publish, angels bind. No book shall live so long; no leaf Shall bear so far its woe or grief. And every hand must set therein Its tale of honor or of sin. Tarantula in Pulpit. At Georgetown, Demerara, a Methodist minister, saw alarm in the eyes of his congregation. He paused in his sermon to find a large tarantula on the ledge of the pulpit. Nobody cared to move until a courageous devout crept up behind the deadly insect and killed it. ... Two whispered words—"Good-bye! For give!" Her dull brain throbbed to them. And thoughts came crowding thick and fast. Of how, and where, and when They two might meet again. Good-bye! Her quickened heartbeats tell Of nerves not made of steel. Yet still and cold she stands, No word, no look! Well, twas best that they so parted. For lying tongues had broken faith and trust. Good-bye! Forgiving eyes sought hers. That only sought the ground. A moment's pause, in which a heart's life passed away. And then retreating footsteps fell upon her ear. A closing door, a woman's sob, And she was beaconless. Upon a sea of pride and doubt, Good-bye forevermore! MRS. T. D.

Taylor is again in the bed. sick. About four o'clock on Monday afternoon two heavily laden youths could have been seen going in the direction of the parsonage. They made a few more trips and took their departure. As the pastor had announced on Sunday evening that watch meeting services would be held on Monday night and the people could gather as early as eight o'clock, no one thought it strange when they began to arrive at that hour. Only a few knew what was going on in the parsonage. However, at half past nine o'clock the junior members of the A. M. E. Sunday School were invited out to the dining room, where a table was spread laden down with many good things, turkey being very much in evidence. Great was their surprise when Mesdame Redd announced the fact that two of her scholars of class number one, namely, Arshun Williams and Wilford Roberson had prepared a supper for the other members of the school. They wished to entertain before the New Years came. You could here murmers of surprise and pleasure. After this brief but pleasan THE STATESMAN. DENVER.

The supper as well as the services will be remembered with much pleasure as both were very pleasant ones. Those present of the Sunday school were Misses Maggie Williams, Grace Smith, Mattie Roberson, Mary Dutreaul of Belt, Arthur Williams, Howard Porter, Willie Roberson, Otis Lawson, Henry Corneal, Leroy Wims, Louis Williams. There are too other classes in the school; who's next? There are a few more subscribers who have not paid their subscription; please see the agent this week as they wish to make their report in full. Revival meetings are being held every night at the church. Come out and get revived up to do better this year than we did last year. The Lyceum, the Ladies' Aid and other meetings will be posponed until after the revival. J. W. Roberson met with the very painful accident last week of two tons of coal going over his foot. We hope he may be able to be around as usual in a few days. Mr. Anthony is very ill again. Mrs Redd is among the sick. A Double Desk Story. This noon I am waiting to see a manager as soon as he returns from lunch, and I am sitting at a new five-foot double desk, leather top, black walnut frame. It has the manufacturer's ticket on it yet. It makes me think of a double desk I might have owned had mechanical conditions permitted it. A desk manufacturer failed. As he had a reputation for poor methods I ordered one of his single flat-top desks on sale after the failure to devote to better methods. By mistake a double desk was sent we. The next day with a perplexed expression I called with a complaint against the expressman. When I told the salesman that by error they had sent me a double desk he replied that that was my gain, as it was worth thirty per cent more than the one I had ordered. Then I told him that we lived in the second flat of a two-flat building and that the double desk would not go upstairs, that the expressman had insisted on leaving it, though he had to stand it on end in the front room of the family on the first floor. The salesman did not want to correct the error, as my home was eight miles from the store, but he had to do it. The double desk worried the family below for two days, and I got a wire screen for their fireplace as a present. The salesman would not pay for the wire screen.

One of the first cases to come before the New South Wales arbitration court is that of the undertakers' assistants. They want their hours fixed at 60 per week. The master undertakers reply that, owing to the habit people have of dying at unseasonable times, and of remaining alive one week and then perishing in batches the next, it is impossible to fix hours.

A London preacher had an interesting experience not long ago with a hungry man. The mendicant explained that he had found it absolutely impossible to get work. He had applied everywhere, always to be turned away, and at last nothing remained for him but to beg from door to door for the food that was necessary to keep life in his body. The clergyman's heart was filled with pity. The poor man seemed to be honest, and after being furnished with a good meal he was asked where a message would reach him. He gave an address and went away. Then the preacher sat down to think the matter over. He knew of no work that he could find for the man, but he decided to invent a job. This gentle fiction could continue until something turned up, and in the meantime the unfortunate one would not have to be humiliated by knowing that he was living on charity. Accordingly the next day the preacher sent a message to the luckless man, saying: "Come at once. I have a position for you. We need a man to clean our schoolhouse and keep it in order." He received an immediate reply as follows: "Sorry I can't come. I have to march with the unemployed to-day. Would to-morrow do?" THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. Mrs. A.

Draws Piece of Steel from Eye of Victim of Accident. Dr. Charles Stedman Bull reported the case of a man, who, as the result of a machinery explosion, was struck in the eye by a flying fragment of steel. It perforated the cornea, iris and lens, and entered the vitreous body, which became filled with blood. Three hours after the accident, when Dr. Bull first saw the patient, it was decided to make an attempt to extract the foreign body by means of the great Haab magnet. At a distance of one and three-quarters inches the action of the magnet produced such a violent disturbance within the eye that it seemed as though the latter would be pulled from its socket. This left no doubt as to the location and nature of the foreign body. The wound in the cornea was thereupon enlarged, and when the eye was then brought into almost actual contact with the magnet, a piece of steel, about four millimeters long and about three and one-half millimeters wide, was drawn out through the original hole in the lens, iris and cornea, and became adherent to the pole of the magnet. An ophthalmoscopic examination made subsequent to the removal of the foreign body showed a hemorrhage of the vitreous. After a period of ten days' treatment the patient was discharged from the infirmary with the hole in the cornea and iris partially closed, and his vision was about two-thirds normal. There was no further cloudiness of the lens, in spite of its having been perforated.—New York Medical Record. He Flirted With Himself. A flirtatious young man with an eye for pretty women had an experience recently which he is telling, although the joke is decidedly on himself. He was riding out on a crowded car one evening when he felt a gentle pressure on his foot. He hardly noticed it, but when a moment later he felt it again he gently raised his foot with a response. He looked up with a smile to the woman beside him, who, although pretty, did not seem to be the least inclined to flirt. He was puzzled. Again he felt the touch on his foot, but not a smile. Just then the car gave a sudden lurch and his umbrella, which had been hanging on his arm, almost pcked a hole in his shoe. He would have kicked himself if the car hadn't been so crowded.—Kansas City Journal. Rich Reward for a Kind Act. Rich Reward for a Kind Act. Theodore Anderson falls heir to $8,000 as the result of a kind act performed by him at Easton, Pa., where he was a barber, before the civil war. One day a runaway slave came under his observation and he sheltered the fugitive until the slave became a free man. The slave was Charley Green. He was a shrewd negro and managed to gather quite a comfortable fortune. When he died he left his widow about $8,000 in real estate in Easton. His will directed that upon her death the property go to Anderson, his friend and benefactor of over two score years ago. Mrs. Green died long ago and Anderson, who now lives at Junction, N. J., will receive the estate. CHEER UP MARY WILL GIVE ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE MASK BALLS JANUARY 22, AT Seven Beautiful Prizes.

The Victoria falls on the Zambesi are twice as great as the Niagara falls. A scheme is being carried out to extract some of the 35,000,000-horse power from these African falls. Prof. George Forbes, who harnessed Niagara, had hardly finished the first electric works there when he received a letter asking if it would be possible to transmit power from the Victoria falls to all the gold mines in Rhodesia, 350 to 500 miles away. The professor sat down one night to work out some figures showing his correspondent that the scheme was impossible and absurd, but his figures turned against him and proved that the scheme was not only scientifically possible but that it would be commercially profitable.

The cableways are of the double-track type. The shore ends of the track cables are not made fast, but, passing over sheave wheels at the apex of the towers, are fastened to vertical counter weights of 10 tons sliding in guides on the far side of the tower.

There's Money in it for Hustlers *From the letters and lectures on accuracy and forthought, by Earl M. Pratt, Oak Park, Illinois.* Thank God for the elderly men who are able to whistle and run. Thank God for the elderly men who are able to whistle and run. An old man whistling always makes me more hopeful. And when an old man can win a foot race there is natural rejoicing among the spectators. A few minutes ago I saw a man of elderly appearance come into a station in a hurry but when he found the trains delayed he went out of the station in a greater rush and ran to another car line. The way he ran caught my eye. He made race track time and you would have thought him made of rubber he went so easily. He had the gracefulness of youth in his muscles. He had a bundle of long strips of wood. A belt was around his overcoat at the waist. His cap was over his ears and he was "business." Last year I secured the picture of a man about a hundred years of age who enjoyed life and had a system of daily exercises which would be useful to you and to me to follow. I forgot my kitchen chair exercise this morning. Occasionally I do hear elderly men whistling and more might whistle if they would stop their worrying and believe in better methods. An elderly man, though I suppose he would not want me to call him elderly, won a foot race at a picnic and seemed none the worse for it. You would not think him able to run rod to look at him but he has been athletic all his life. This is being written in a street car which is cold enough to make ice cream but I want to add a few words to tell you what a man told me this week. He lives over a mile from his railroad station and he makes the trip on foot six days a week. When he first moved to his present home he formed the habit of running from the station to the house each evening. Then he unformed the habit by neglect, but now he is reforming the habit. It is taking time for him to do it. He is older and he has to run a part of the way daily but he is gaining each day. If you try any exercise go slow and watch results. It is like some medicines in that it does not agree with everybody equally as well. For Sunday Observance. The Belgian postoffice authorities have hit upon a novel idea. Every postage stamp has a slip attached to it which may or may not be used, at the option of the person who posts the letter. This slip is worded to the effect that the communication to which it is attached is not to be delivered on Sunday. On all stamps of every denomination this notification is to be found, and the consequence is that there is growing up in Belgium a tendency in the direction of having no letters or newspapers—for newspapers are mostly delivered by post—on Sunday. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. NEW ROPE WAS COMING. Judges Must Have Thought Hard During That Trip. Senator Hoar told an incident of his legal practice in connection with his remarks about the dangerous condition of the old government printing office. "I am reminded," said he, "of something that happened in the supreme court of our state some years ago. They held court at Northampton and went over to Mount Holyoke, where there is an elevator which takes travelers up the side of a steep rock a hundred or two hundred feet to avoid the difficulty of climbing. "The judges, as judges are apt to be, were nearly all of them rather corpulent men. Six or seven got into the elevator at once. They saw that the rope that held the car in which they went was very much frayed, and they asked the manager if he did not think it was a little unsafe. "Yes,' the manager said, 'it is wholly unsafe and likely to break every minute, but we are going to have a new one next Monday.'"—Washington Post. Hls Line of Work. A fellow-passenger on a steamship with Mr. Kurino, now Japanese ambassador to Russia, discovered him to be a student of human nature. As an illustration of the esteem in which his countrymen were held in the United States he said: "I met not long since a Yokohama youth who had settled in America. "How are you getting on?' I inquired. "Splendidly,' said he. "What are you doing now?" "He was silent, smiled, and then replied: "Just at present I'm standing for a series of short stories written by a smart Yankee who can't get anything accepted under an Anglo-Saxon name.'"—New York Times. What Doctors Make. There are about 200,000 doctors in the United States, or about one for every 350 people. It has been approximately estimated that the average yearly income of these men is $750, or that the public in the country pays $150,000,000 annually for medical attendance, omitting entirely the money spent for patent medicines, which brings millions of dollars to manufacturers, or the amounts spent for doctors' prescriptions, or paid to quacks and commercial doctors. The preparation for the practice of medicine that gives a man a good standing in the profession means an expense of liberally speaking, $4,000 for four years in a reputable medical school, $1,000 for general expenses during two years' hospital service and perhaps another $1,000 for setting up in practice.

FORD'S HAIR POMADE Formerly known as "OZONIZED OX MARROW" so STRAIGHTENS KINKY or CURLY HAIR that it can be put up in any style desired consistent with its length. Ford's Hair Pomade was formerly known as "OZONIZED OX MARROW" and is the only safe preparation known to us that makes kinky or curly hair straight, as shown above. Its use makes the most stubborn, harsh, kinky or curly hair soft, pliable and easy to comb. These results may be obtained from one treatment; 2 to bottles are usually sufficient for a year. The use of Ford's Hair Pomade ("OZONIZED OX MARROW") removes and prevents dandruff, believes itching, imitates the scalp, stops the hair from falling or breaking off, makes it grow and, by nourishing it, gives it new life and vigor. Being elegantly perfumed and harmless, it is a toilet necessity for ladies, gentlemen and children. Ford's Hair Pomade ("OZONIZED OX MARROW") has been made and sold continually since about 1858, and label "OZONIZED OX MARROW" was registered in the United States Patent Office, in 1874. In all that long period of time there has never been a bottle returned from the hundreds of thousands we have sold. FORD'S HAIR POMADE remains sweet and effective, no matter how long you keep it. Be sure to get Ford's, as its use makes the hair STRAIGHT, SOFT, and PLIABLE. Beware of imitations. Remember that Ford's, Hair Pomade ("OZONIZED OX MARROW") is put up only in 50 cts. size, and is made only in Chicago and by us. The genuine has the signature, Charles Ford. Prest, on each package. Refuse all others. Full directions with every bottle. Price only 50 cts. Sold by druggiss and dealers. If your druggist dealer can not supply you, he can procure it from his jobber or wholesale dealer or send us 50 cts. for one bottle postpaid, or $1.40 for three bottles or $2.50 for six bottles, express paid. We pay postage and express charges to all points in U. S. A. When ordering send postal or express money order, and mention this paper. Write your name and address plainly to The Ozonized Ox Marrow Co. (None genuine without my signature) Charles Ford Press 70 Wabash Ave., Chicago, Ill. Agents wanted everywhere. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. This is written with the one that was not lost. A poet went to his tailor to get measured and when he reached his roll top desk he told his stenographer the would have to give him another pencil as he had lost his. As she got out the box and handed him one I stood near and said that if it had been cigars they would treat me and I would prefer a pencil to a cigar. Miss Stenographer handed me a pencil and then I said to Mr. Poet that if I found his lost pencil I supposed he would give that to me also. He then told me about his tailor taking his pencil out of his vest and not putting it back. I pointed to his liver pocket and asked him what that was and he looked down with an effort, because he is heavy, chesty, and replied, "Well, that's it, that tailor put it in my other pocket." He had been looking at his heart pocket only. If the plaint of one commercial traveler holds good throughout the ranks of the drummers hotel keepers will have a good deal to answer for in the matter of religious backsliding. Because of their negligence men on the road have almost ceased reading the Bible. Possibly the Bible societies are equally culpable, but it is easier to put the blame on the hotel managers, so they are the ones the drummers are fussing at. "There was a time," said the commercial traveler in question, "when I read two or three verses or, if I felt like it, two or three chapters in the Bible almost every evening. Now I don't read a line. Possibly I was no more religious than I am now, but the Bible was handier. Usually it was the first thing that struck my eye upon entering the room. The place assigned it by chambermaids was prominent. It lay on the bureau directly in front of the looking glass and I couldn't miss it if I wanted to Besides, the bellboy was always or hand to give me a shove into the path of duty. "Here's a Bible,' he volunteered sweetly, 'in case you get lonesome and want to read awhile before you go to bed.' "And generally I took his advice and read. Knocking about, as I was then, from town to town, I made but few acquaintances at my different stopping places, and after looking over the evening papers and swapping a few yarns with the fellows in the hotel, I found it a downright relief to wind up the evening by reading a chapter in the Bible. I got so I knew a whole lot about the book in those days. I could really carry on an argument without getting into hot water. There were certain parts of it, especially Ecclesiastes and Paul's letters, that I could rattle off by heart, and I knew a lot of other fellows who were equally well up in the Scriptures. "I seldom find Bibles in the hotels nowadays. I am sorry to see them go, too. I don't know why they have been eliminated from hotel economy. Possibly the managers are responsible for the backsliding, but in most cases I fancy it is due to carelessness or lack of funds on the part of the Bible societies. The Bibles formerly in use were, I believe, mostly distributed by them. The books were cheap, twenty-five cents probably being the retail price of the best of them, but they answered the purpose, and it strikes me that it would be a good idea to get several thousand of them drift again."

MACHINE SEWED soles at the Jackson Shoe Company, 75 cents. In the closing of 1906 the members and friends of Central Baptist Church showed their appreciation to the pastor for his efforts put forth in trying to rid the property of all indebtedness. Twenty months ago the main debt on the property was $2,700. First rally in 1906 was $800. Second rally, $300. Last rally, $600. These efforts, together with money raised in 1905, have reduced the main debt to $460. Total raised in 1906, $3,226, for which we thank the public for their assistance. A few days before Christmas the Pastor's Aid Society gave the pastor a $25.00 every-day suit of clothes. A few evenings later the members and friends gave a large storm party, consisting of food, coal and money. At the Christmas tree the Lady Masons and Faithful Few Clubs gave a fine $35.00 overcoat, for all of which the pastor is very thankful, indeed. CHAS. D. DOUGLAS, Pastor.

We take great pleasure in our first letter to you at the beginning of the new year 1907, in giving a short history of the prosperous condition of the Negro of this city for the past year. The future success of the Negro of this country depends greatly upon his intellectual, moral and property attainments. Albuquerque is blessed with a class of colored people who are possessed with enough of these progressive qualities to merit the high esteem of his white neighbor, such as we receive in this bright, sunny New Mexico. We also receive equality in treatment before the courts of justice and a much better chance at labor than can be received in many of the older states in the Union. There is no better way of testing the intellectual soundness of our people in this city than by summing up the large list of names of people who have made themselves prominent by building nice homes of their own. There is no better way of clinching the bargain which gave us citizenship than by becoming property holders. From the small population of our people in this city it is wonderful to note the large number of enterprising colored citizens who are lining themselves up in such a permanent business-like manner, which, without question is the surest way of making their influence felt in all communities. We take pride in mentioning the names of those who are on the high roll of honor and owning their homes. They are: H. Bramlett, T. K. Lawers, E. T. Ellsworth, Mrs. L. S. Black, W. V. Jasper, K. C. Penman, W. T. Thornton, Mrs. Gray, Mrs. Henry Harrison, E. N. Reynolds, Rev. Byas, John Collins, John Gaskins, Green Watson, O. Anderson, Anna Durham, C. N. Payne, Mary Lynch, Mrs. M. Houston, P. Brady, J. H. Martin, Alice Pugh, E. L. Carson, Chas. Chavous, M. Jones, Mrs. M. Martin, P. Watts, Chas. Lyles, I. Conell Wm. Taylor. A nice brick edifice is owned by the members of the A. M. E. Church. The members of the Mt. Olive Baptist Church also own the property where they worship, which, as a whole, gives the colored people a good property representation in the city. We welcome all progressive citizens. POCATELLO, IDAHO, NEWS. Mrs. J. O. Robinson entertained the ladies at a dainty lunch New Year's day in honor of Mrs. P. A. Samuels of Boise, Idaho. The invited guests THE S. ATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. were Mrs. J. S. Battles, Mrs. Wm. Smith, Mrs. Geo. M. Piearson, Mrs. Curtis, Mrs. J. H. Pearson and Miss Adell Douglass. Little Miss Battles opened her eyes to her first Christmas tree Christmas morning and danced with glee at the beautiful and costly presents from Santa Claus. Miss Adell Douglass has accepted a position as stenographer and assistant bookkeeper with the Pocatello Mercantile Co., one of the large wholesale firms of the city. Miss Douglass is one of our most accomplished and popular young ladies. She is a graduate of the Pocatello High School in the class of 1905 and a graduate in the business department of the Academy of Idaho in the class of 1906. She is always industrious, ambitious and persevering to advance as much as possible, and we are all very proud of her and her success. Mr. J. S. Battles made a business trip to Nampa, Idaho, this week. Mrs. P. A. Samuels of Boise, Idaho, is the guest of Mrs. J. O. Robinson. Mr. A. Douglass is doing a rushing business at his handsome shoe shining parlors, located at 123 So. Main street. Mrs. Curtis is expecting to leave for Ogden, Utah, in a few days. Mr. Rockefeller Was Meek. While Mr. and Mrs. William Rockefeller and daughter were automobiling through England and Scotland recently they stopped at Harrogate, taking a suite of nine rooms at the hotel. The day after Mr. Rockefeller arrived he went to the barber shop in the hotel to be shaved, his mustache having been clipped into the semblance of a scrubbing brush. The barber proceeded to strop the razor and lather the oll magnate's face. At the same time, wishing to entertain his client, he remarked: "We have the wealthiest man in the world staying here." "Ah," said Mr. Rockefeller, "who is that?" "Rockefeller, sir, the great oil king." "But," said Mr. Rockefeller, "perhaps it is the rich man's brother, who is a very poor man. For instance, if your brothers were rich would it necessarily mean that you were?" "No," said the barber, "but in this case I do not know which Rockefeller it is. Anyway, I should not want anything more than to have the 'rocks' this man has." Mr. Rockefeller returned to his room, told his courier of the incident, and laughed heartily. All the smart people of the hotel were absurdly concerned in the doings of the Rockefellers.

FISHER General Pass, Agent | Denver Colorado. in a smal! Missouri town there lives a good deacon who, despite his harsh, hoarse voice, always joins vociferously in the singing at church. In the same town is a little hoy who has become the proud possessor of a gor- geous string of profanity, which he is very fond of displaying. His mother, finding her arguments had no appre- ciable effect in expurgating from the youthful vocabulary the objectionable words, sent him to the deacon, in whom she had al] confidence, to see if the latter could not put a stop to the swearing habit. That dignitary pic- tured to the boy the beauties of heay- en in vivid language, and then told him that those who take the Lord’s name in vain can never enter there, The boy pondered a moment “What do folks do in heaven, dea- con?” he asked “Oh, play harps and sing.” “Are you going there to play harps and sing when you die, deacon?” “I hope to, son,” replied the deacon, modestly. “Then what's —— like?” asked the boy earnestly, after some thought JOS.

One year ..... $2.00 Six months ..... $1.00 Three months ..... 50 Entered at the postoffice, Denver, Colorado, as second class mailmatter. With the appointment of Miss Pearl Raimey to a position in his office as clerk, County Assessor Gird has placed the colored republicans of this county in the most enviable position that they have ever occupied. Four representative positions in the county employ are now held by colored people, three clerkships and one undersheriff. Pleasant things are easily said, but Assessor Gird has done them and we are pleased to pledge to him, along with County Clerk Vickery, Sheriff Nisbet and County Treasurer Fine, the gratitude and support of colored voters. It is marvelous what a change has come to pass. Two years ago, not a single one of these positions was held and now, through a clearer understanding, without any friction or coercion, we have the four. In the fullest sense, it can be said that the efforts of colored leaders to secure proper recognition of the services of our voters to the republican party, were met half way by the officials. Judge Whitford, who is the county chairman, more than any other one person, was responsible for the opportunity to make clear the position of the colored voters. To him, tnerefore, we extend our thanks. Right here we wish to call attention to the fact that his actions have been the most conclusive evidence of his disposition toward us and we offer this manifestation of a desire to do the fair thing as sufficient rebuttal to any charges that may be made that he is other than our friend. It has been said in these columns that much of the restrictions to which we were subjected in politics was due to Frank Howbert. We hasten to be as free to give credit as we have been to blame. Several months before the campaign opened up, he said to the editor of this paper that he favored the appointment of four colored people to representative positions in the county and named the very ones which have since been given us. It is clear to those who know the influence that he wields in republican politics that the coincidence is more than a coin- LET US PUSH ON! THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. cidence. To merely commend him for his interest is not enough. It may be in the power of colored voters at some time to do him a service, and if it ever is, they owe it to his endeavors to see that he is paid in full for the interest that he has taken in us. We might go on to enumerate many friends. At some future date we will deal with the state situation, but just at this time the county furnishes plenty of food for thought. With such conclusive evidence of the regard in which we are held by the republican party in this county, it must be clear that we have duties the more pressing than formerly. American citizenship imposes the obligation of voting on all alike. Now comes our own interests making this the more imperative. Let us heed plain truths and push on? Time will work wonders for us if we will persevere. It is fitting at this juncture to say something of the methods that have wrought this change. The Statesman will not say that they have been entirely right—we know full well the shortcomings of all human endeavor—but we will ask that the public balance up the credit and debit side of the political ledger and if conditions have improved under the present leadership, forget the latter and unite in giving honor to whom honor is due. Early in the campaign a number of public spirited colored men who believed that intelligent and unselfish activity in politics would remedy many of the evils which we complain of, met and after prolonged discussion of conditions, set plans on foot that resulted in a man of their own selection, J. W. Jackson, being chosen by the republican state central committee as the head of the campaign so far as colored people were concerned. With this prestige, he was enabled to secure for us the present allotment in the county. In the naming of persons for the places, it was inevitable that many of merit have been passed over for others. Disappointment of one's aspirations is bitter, but the great end which is sought and the inevitable necessity of TERMS. leaving more than are chosen should convince race lovers that Mr. Jackson is a Moses whose arms should be lifted up. Though nominally he is the spokesman of a small committee, yet he has power for good only as the representative of all our people. It has been said both by our own and the other race that we, as a people, would rather drag down than build up strong men among us. Now comes the time to prove this true or false. It is inevitable that mistakes will be made. To err is human. It is evident that the limitations of human knowledge will not always make it possible to choose the very best thing. But good sense demands that so long as we progress, we should throw our best endeavor toward maintaining and improving present conditions and not be led into the quagmire of change because of real or fancied grievances. The Statesman wishes to congratulate the race upon the manner in which so far it has rallied to the standard of unity and progress, and sounds this word of warning not for tendencies which exist now, but for the purpose of heading off the senseless desire to change which malcontents foster in every race at all times.

We make this announcement early that when we cease our readers will not be surprised, for they will be expecting our retirement. A very significant order has just been issued by the Secretary of War, intimating that all the colored regiments in this country will be transferred to the Philippines. This will not fall with mellowness upon the ears of true Americans. The true soldiers and statesmen will not agree with the Secretary of War in sending these troops away. And the act will in no wise soften or weaken the harshness of the criticism of the colored people upon the wrong of the president and secretary of war toward them. Injustice and persecution of the race will not aid in solving the problems before the country, and they tend rather to defeat the end sought to be attained. Where are the great moral giants of the past? Is Foraker alone to be looked to to stand by the laws of the land? Surely Spooner, the great lawyer of the senate, will not go upon record against the law and against the right. Dr. Turner of Morrilton, Ark., returned to his home Sunday morning.
