THE STATESMAN BANQUETED THE REGISTER Wednesday Evening at Odd Fellows Hall Wm. T. Vernon Honored Other News Items FRANKLIN'S PAPER EIGHTEENTH YEAR. BANQUETHE THE Wednesday Eveni Hall Wm. T. V Other Ne FROM PRESS BUREAU. On last Wednesday night a banquet was given at Odd Fellows hall in honor of Mr. Wm. T. Vernon, Register of the Treasury. Mr. Wm. L. Houston, Grand Master of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows of America, was the toastmaster. The speakers included Dr. E. W.-Lampton, one of the greatest men in the country in financial circles among his people, at present being the financial secretary of the A. M. E. denomination, who delivered the address of welcome; Dr. W. L. Board, John L. Waller, Richard T. Greener, E. M. Hewlett, L. B. Moore, R. H. Terrell, A. M. Curtis, W. H. Brooks, Robert H. Moten and John C. Dancy. After the speakers above named had concluded their toasts, Mr. Vernon responded in part as follows: "I am sure that I cannot fittingly express my appreciation of this testimonial of esteem and regard which you have given me. "I came to you a stranger to assume the duties of the office to which I had been appointed, realizing that such an appointment was more than a personal elevation. It carried with it representation for the race, and hence great responsibilities calling for the best effort of any man. "I assure you that my efforts have been to measure up these responsibilities in a way which would please, not only my superiors, but all of the people of this great country without regard to color. If my conduct has been such as to find favor and approval, then I feel more than repaid: ```markdown ``` DENVER, COLO., FRIDAY FEB. 8, 1907. and these words of yours to-night and this testimonial will serve to encourage me to greater effort to perform my duties faithfully in the future as I have attempted to do in the past. "This is a most generous act, and I may say now that I have the kindest feelings for all of the elements that I have met here, and which have all treated me with uniform kindness and courtesy. To sum it all up, I want to be everybody's register of the treasury. "While public office is a public trust, and all so situated should realize it, the negro in office should realize that there is for him to do that which the most generous statement cannot comprehend. Aside from a faithful performance of the duties assigned him, he should maintain an especial interest in his people. "That a race should have opposition as well as an individual indicates progress, but shall we cease our efforts for progress because of opposition? Not so—to correct that which is of wrong within the race, to emphasize the right and the better things which the negro has done is a duty which we must not neglect. "I believe that the wisest statesmanship will finally conclude that injustice to any of our citizens is indeed harmful to the government, for the reason that patriotism arising from intelligent appreciation of the real greatness of the republic is the real safeguard of the country. Such patriotism is best fostered by the protection and splendid opportunities which only exact justice can afford. I am no pessimist. I have an abid." TATES State Historian & Nat ural History Society RIDAY FEB. 8, 1907. ing faith in the triumph of right and the all-conquering sense of justice. The eternal verities have no fleeting existence, but are of the ceaseless ages. In a republic there can be no lord and no vassal, no master and slave, no ruler and serf, but the regnancy of conscience in the final analysis must preserve our cherished institutions." Thus ended one of the greatest banquets ever held in Washington to the most eminent champion of the race and its rights, since Douglas. The Brownsville investigation is now in progress, and it is to be hoped that the whole truth of the regrettable affair at Brownsville will be found and justice done the outraged soldiers, whose innocence, we believe, will be established by this investigation. In the meantime all jealousies and petty bickerings should be dispensed with and the whole truth realized. There will be a discussion as to whom the credit for the investigation is due; already there is an effort being made to embarrass Senator Foraker, because he has stood for the soldiers of the Twenty-fifth infantry, in whose innocence, at least in part, he believed, and many other signs of small political peanutery begin to present themselves by numerous acts in places of the mighty. But let come what may, the truth is to be had, that the American people, always right on great questions which go to the very root of our institutions, may form a righteous judgment, and give to the humblest, as well as the mightiest citizen the benefit of "due process of law."

Perkins goes to Colorado Springs about the 15th for her farewell trip. Her giving up the class in that city has been occasioned by the great demand for her services here at home. She therefore wants to see all persons in Colorado Springs who now or ever have taken treatment from her for the scalp or the beautifying of the hair, for she wishes to give them two lectures on this subject. She wishes her present class to make engagements through Mrs. A. J. Jenkins. Her phone number there will be Main 1212, and she will be located at 731 South Weber street. Before she goes away she wants all persons here in Denver who belong to her class to make their February engagements. RESOLUTIONS FROM GRACE A. M. E. CHURCH. TRINIDAD. Inasmuch as it pleased God in His wisdom on Jan. 22 to suddenly call our former pastor and colaborer, Rev. S. W. Byrd, from labor to reward, who gave us the last two years of his service as a patient, gentle shepherd, ever urging, yet ever leading in the temporal and spiritual interest of the church, courageous, energetic, harmonious, entwining and endearing himself and family to the church and community more and more each month and year until saint and sinner learned to love him with a love deep, silent and abiding. To think of him as a pastor arouses pleasant memories. To claim him as a bosom friend, a rare privilege. To think of his death a summons to the flock over which he last presided to assemble around his silent resting place our fondest recollections and loudly acclaim, "Let me die the death of the righteous and let my last end be like his." Resolved, That Sister Byrd and the family and relatives have the heartfelt sympathy of Grace A. M. E. church and the community at large. J. H. BOOKER, G. MADGE JORDAN, J. H. PATTON, MRS. F. BOOKER, MRS. C. JACKSON Committee on Resolutions. F. D. Young of Des Moines has come to the city and will make this his home. Paper Gloves and Stockings. Paper gloves and stockings are now being manufactured in Europe. The Stockings have been carefully ex: amined by experts, and they are loud in their praise of them. Let no one Assume, they say, that these stockings, because they are made of paper, will only last a few days, for they will last almost as long as ordinary stockings. The reason is because the paper of which they are made was, during the process of manufacture, rendered into & substance closely resembling wool, and was then woven and treated as ordinary wool. ——————— Senator Hoar’s Joke. Since Mr. Depew’s naive admission ™ the Senate chamber that there are two Chauncey Depews—one who says what he has considered carefully and Another who is not so particular—his tolleagues have had lots of fun with tlm. Even Mr. Hoar, who usually frowns down levity, has had a whack tt the New Yorker. The two met on Pennsylvania avenue. “Good morn- ing, Mr. Hoar,” saluted Mr. Depew. Qravely adjusting his glasses and ooking around the Massachusetts Matesman eyed the New York man iternly and replied: “To which De pew am I speaking—Jekyll or Hyde?” Cossacl: Regiments.

An exhibition of the work done by the pupils of the Metal Workers' school in Rosswein has recently been held at Freiberg which showed the thoroughness of the instruction at this splendid technical institution. The pupils are chiefly from Prussia and Saxony and one of the conditions of admission that is noteworthy is that the applicant shall have had three years of practical experience. Many of the German states are aiding the school library and granting free scholarship to deserving young men. The institution is provided with one of the finest technical libraries in Europe and has a large supply of the most complex apparatus. Extensions are frequently made to the large factories and mines in the neighborhood. The course at the school lasts from 18 months to two years and embraces four departments architecture, machine building, electro-technics and the fine arts. A great deal of attention is given to create and in order to simulate the inventive faculties the German patent office supplies the institution free of charge with copies of patents pertaining to mechanical, metal and electrical apparatus. In addition to special branches in metal work, etc., attention is given to mathematical physics, higher mathematics, chemistry and languages. The tuition fee for the half year is 100 marks ($25) for citizens of the German empire and 200 marks for foreigners. Rosswein is situated on the mail railway between Leipsic and Dresden. Shiver Nature's Remedy. At the football game the young girl, despite her sable stole, shivered. "That shiver," said her companion, a physician, "is nature's method of warning you. It is nature's preventive remedy for a cold. "You see the shiver is an involuntary rhythmical contraction of the muscles, and there is nothing like a contraction of the muscles for raising the temperature of the body. "Thus when you shiver nature is putting you through a little course of exercise to warm you up, so that you won't take a cold or a dose of rheumatism or an attack of pneumonia. When nature shakes you up in this kindly way it is your duty to help her out by moving briskly about for a while, thus making absolutely sure your immunity from illness." THE STATESMAN. DENVER.

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 4 bottles are usually sufficient for a year. The use of Ford's Hair Pomade ("OZONIZED OX MARROW") removes and prevents dandruff, relieves itching, invigorates the scalp, stops the hair from falling out or breaking off, makes it grow and, by nourishing the roots, gives it new life and vigor. Being elegantly perfumed and harmless, it is a toilet cleaner for those with sensitive skin. Ford's Hair Pomade ("OZONIZED OX MARROW") has been made and sold continually since about 1865, 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 ct. size and is made only in Chicago and by us. The genuine has the signature, Charles Ford. Presents on each package.

A few days ago the press of the country announced that Booker - T Washington had been called to the White House to consult about the ap pointment of a custom officer in Ohio, and that Dr. Washington, a school teacher from Alabama, recommended one Ralph Tyler, of Columbus, Ohio, for a custom’s position in Cincinnati. The press states that this action is taken without consulting the wishes of the senators from Ohio. In other words, Booker T. Washington, a school teacher from Alabama, is dic- tating, by indirection, the appoint- ment of men in Ohio, not only with- out the advice and consent of the Ohio senators, but without even a consul- tation with them. The people of the country have long been accustomed to seeing senators consulted in such matters as these; but precedents “cut no figure” in this day, But all of this recalls the battle be- tween Grant and Sumner. Every con- ceivable thing was done by Grant to embarrass Sumner. His friends were removed from positions of trust and emolument in the diplomatic service; he himself was, by the influence of Grant, removed from an important chairmanship in the senate, and then there ensued a long and bitter strug- gle; and the great Sumner who had done so much for the nation was made the target of bitter attack by the soldier-president, finally being made very uncomfortable in his last days for that reason. The question now being asked is: Will there be another battle such as was waged by Grant against Sumner, waged by President Roosevelt against Senator Foraker? Does the present situation over the appointment of a custom's officer in Ohio portend that day? It is hoped by all fair men that this is not to come; that these bitter attacks upon a senator are not in- tended, but the mere vaporings of news gatherers in an effort to satiate a public desire. This is our wish. But we wish to register our objection to Booker TT. Washington, a_ school teacher in Alabama, interfering, even when asked, witn political appoint- ments in Ohio, ignoring when doing so the men whose right and whose duty it is to suggest such appoint- ments. The colored people of the country view the matter as a piece of “spite work" against Senator Foraker, and must object to it as unworthy of the seat of power from which it pro- ceeds. Just what the outcome of the pres- ent suit against the Board of Educa- tion will be we cannot safely predict as to the court of first instance; but we are confident that when the case gets to the court of appeals, the court will hold that the board of education has no legal existence. We cannot see any other way out of the diffi- culty. It is to be regretted that the consequences must be as they must be, when the court acts, but it is bet- ter to right the wrong now than to de- lay until more wrongs have been done THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORAD~ and Special EXcursions to City of Mexico April 25 to May 5--One fare for round trip : June 25 to July 7--One fare plus $2 for round trip Sept. 3 to 14--One fare for round trip LIBERAL LIMITSZTAND STOPOVERS.

They as- sert that they do not object to the members, as such; that as individuals they are upright and honorable citi- zens; that each in his line has done much for the system and the city, but as a board they are a failure, and for their own good should be removed; to say nothing of the good of the schools, which have been suffering al- most irreparably from their brief ad- ministration, or misadministration, as the case may be. One improvement has been made in the system. Chancellor has been in- duced to talk less and help in this way. We congratulate him upon this new departure, for it shows signs, in the dying hour, of a change of heart. The fair flower of justice and equilib- rium will again wave over the schools, and Chancellor will return to his own in Patterson, N. J., where he will be duly honored by the spirit which he represents, so admirably in the Na- tion’s Capital. P. S. TWISTER.

The reflection that inevitably is cast over all! who are similarly employed makes his arrest a personal matter with many. What the outcome will be, cannot be foretold.

Fm ————______________— } BRAVO, VERNON! ] securely lay hold of it by clinging The West came into its own when Prof. W. T. Vernon of Kansas broke the ice and was appointed to the most prominent position yet given a negro by the national government. Now we are in receipt of an artisti- cally gotten up menu of a complimen- tary banquet tendered him by the leading men of the East and in fact of the country. That his merit would win the recognition of thoughtful peo- ple could have been foretold by us Westerners who know him. But such quick and widespread appreciation of the Western Joshua stamps him as a leader not alone of the West but of the whole country. We are proud of Prof. Vernon's success. We would see his useful- ness and his honors increase. There are a whole jot of people in this and every community who go about pluming themselves upon their family, their clothes, their social posi- tion, their education, who sacrifice their possible achievements for the mere bluster. The Pharisee is con- spicuous in modern life as he was in olden times. Of this class are those who make so much show and whose names stand in the bad debt column of evebry merchant who gives them credit. Then, too, there are the “race lovers” who are conspicuous by the way they deride the efforts of the struggling members of the race. The most illiterate negro is one of us and may, according to his opportunity and environment be doing a man's share toward our advancement. It is for those of us who are better qualified to do our best and not be making in- vidious comparisons. Take the negro who finds all kinds of excuses for not giving his trade to colored merchants. He is quick to resent any insinuation of inferiority on his own part, but not so with the race business man. It fs time for us to climb down from pre. tension and make good.

I. the undersigned, take pleasure in making this statement that the statements made by the News, Post and Republican that a toilet set was found in the room of our former porter, Anderson Wright, implicating Mr. Rice, by saying that it came from the Gross Pharmacy Co. Sixteenth and Welton streets, such is not true. I also wish to state that I went over and saw Mrs. C. L. Neubert, manager of the firm, and she speaks very highly of Mr. Rice, regarding his honesty. Respectfully. G. A. DUNAGAN, Mgr. Braman Clothing Co. Regarding the statement in the News, Post and Republican implicating Mr. Rice, our soda dispenser, with the action of the porter of G. H. Braman, Sixteenth and California streets, I wish to state that I have called up the chief of police personally and have his admission that he never made any such statement and that there were no toilet sets taken from our store. I also wish to state that I find that Mr. Rice is entirely disconnected with this affair in the light which it appears. Respectfully. MRS. C. L. NEUBERT, Mgr. The Gross Pharmacy Co.

Mrs. Fannie Buckner, one of the splendid women of Colorado Springs, passed away this week and thereby bereft her two sons, C. W. Buford and Gilbert Buford. The funeral arrangements were in charge of Q. J. Gilmore, the undertaker of this city and the interment was Tuesday afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Shelburn have bought the 11-room modern house at 2336 Curtis street, with two lots. The consideration is $6,500. They will move from their present home next week. ANOTHER BOOST FOR THE COMMONWEALTH The Commonwealth is making greater and greater strides. They are now negotiating with one of the local companies with a view to buying their business. This is a company which has been doing business here for some time and has several hundred members in Denver. This will add very much to the strength of the Commonwealth here as it will give them a great increase in business in force. A probable reason for the proposed sale of the company is found in the fact that the Legislature is now about to pass a bill which will compel all companies to put up $10,000 with the state. It is thought that this will seriously affect the local companies. It does not affect associations like the Commonwealth at all. This law will certainly help the many lodges and will also be of great assistance to the Commonwealth and other associations as it will remove most of their competition. The People's Sunday Alliance has a treat in its program for next Sunday. N. S. Reynolds will deliver his oration, "No Steps Backward."

An unusual type of Roman villa has been unearthed on the site of the ancient Roman encampment in Britain at Caerwent. The remains have been found to be in an excellent state of preservation. A departure from the conventional practice of the Romans in the designs of their residences, as revealed by previous excavations in that country, is the provision of extra rooms abutting on the four sides of the courtyard. In the basements two completely perfect heating devices or hypocausts were found, together with the peculiar blue tiles utilized by the owners for conducting the heat from the stove in the basement and radiating it through the upper rooms of the dwelling. In the basement some exquisite specimens of Roman paving were unearthed. Predicament of Age. To-day our attitude toward old age has greatly changed. We no longer pretend to treat it as a hackneyed joke, but instead have agreed politely to ignore it. No one is old, simply because he cannot afford to be. The kingdom has been given over to the young, and age must borrow youth's clothing if it would still hold its own in the council chamber or the market place.—Gentleman's Magazine.
