THE STATESMAN SENATOR SMOOT TO REMAIN EIGHTEENTH YEAR. SENATOR S TO Should Senator Reed Smoot be expelled from the Senate of the United States? This is the question which is being asked and which the women of the country, very largely, have answered in the affirmative; but have they answered properly, according to the evidence submitted, and in keeping with our constitution and laws? The only answer to be made to this is no! Senator Smoot has been guilty of no wrongdoing, he is not a polygamist nor a bigamist, and has always conformed to the laws of his state under which she was admitted into the Union. It is true that he holds an office in the Mormon church, but has never violated the laws of his state, nor has he offended against the rights of anyone. He has been upright and true in all the relations of life with his fellow men, has done his duty to his state and to the nation according to the oath he has taken to serve each honorably and to the best of his ability. And the charges against him come from women who do not themselves stop to reason about the situation, but who have an idea that his course is all wrong, because he is a member of the church which countenances polygamy. This contention THE BROWNSVILLE THE BROWNSVILLE I (From Press Bureau.) Day after day reports of the "Brownsville Investigation" are sent out to the country, detailing the testimony given by the non-commissioned officers and privates of the battalion that was discharged at Brownsville, Texas, recently. The trend of the news sent out, except in the president's organ, the Tribune, is very favorable to the cause of the soldiers and still tends strongly to show that --- DENVER, COLO., FRIDAY FEB. 22, 1907. carried to its logical conclusion would in time operate to exclude any religious sect which did not happen to conform to a certain trend of sentiment and would inevitably lead to the abrogation of the section in the constitution which provides that, "Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." If the vehement appeal which the women of the country have sent out should be complied with, sentiment rather than law and reason would govern; and the time would not be far distant when caste would usurp the functions of law and freedom. And in this case, least of all, can the colored people of the country afford to strike down Senator Smoot; for by so doing we would rear up a system of caste which our highest interests dictate should be struck down. Senator Smoot is a good and honorable man and should remain in the Senate of the United States, and the country should accept this position, because it is right and has the support of the great statesman and lawyer, Senator Knox, whose only interest in the case is that of law and justice. His position is right and the protests against the position he has taken will prove fruitless. INVESTIGATION the soldiers are innocent of any wrongdoing in connection with the "Brownsville Affray." Our belief is that the soldiers are innocent, but if any of them have offended against the laws of the land, let the fact be brought out and the guilty parties tried and punished according to law. But whatever the outcome, which we feel will be for the promotion of justice, a blow has been dealt the hydra-deaded monster of prejudice which will be felt for many years to come; State Historian & Natural History Society TATES RIDAY FEB. 22, 1907. and the dangerous element of impetuosity has been properly rebuked. And Senator Foraker today stands where where Sumner stood 50 years ago, the leader of the forces of right against wrong, defending the defenseless and bearing the burdens of the weak and oppressed. No matter what the motive is that prompts him to do the work at hand, the fact is, he is standing for the right, helping those who were unable to help themselves, contending for men who have been disgraced by the power they have helped to make, by the nation which they were willing to lay down their lives to save and make glorious and great. Senator Foraker deserves a place among the heroes of the ages. MAJOR PENROSE Very meagre news is sent out from the trial of Major Penrose, who is now being tried for failure, or alleged failure of duty in connection with the "Brownsville Affray." This seems to be a sign that the defense Major Penrose is making is not the kind of defense that the powers that be wish to be sent to the country; but the truth will out, and Major Penrose will be acquitted. Lectures In Alabama In April Dr. A. M. Curtis is going to deliver a series of lectures in Alabama before the State Medical association on surgery and kindred subjects. Dr. Curtis needs no praise for his work, for he stands at the very top as a surgeon. And when we say this, we do not mean that he is a great colored surgeon, but a great surgeon—in our opinion, the equal of any surgeon in the United States. Less has been said about him than about many other men, but he is a real worker, is a student, always keeping abreast of the times and his profession, and giving of his time and energies to the cause of human uplift and human happiness. The Medical association has a great honor in having the services of such a man as Dr. Curtis to appear before it. We believe in Dr. Curtis and always feel a certain pride in his achievements, and applaud his ever constant upward march. --- MAN FIVE CENTS A COPY ANNUAL BANQUET Last wek the Pen and Pencil club held its annual banquet in honor of Frederick Douglas. The program was replete with wise sayings and splendid expositions of wit and humor. It showed that those who were responsible for the arrangement are very orginal and capable. Mr. H. J. Pinkett was invited on behalf of the Press Bureau, but was unable to attend; and he asks us to extend for him congratulations and thanks for the honor of the invitation. The Pen and Pencil club is supposed to represent, as nearly as possible, the Gridiron club, and many of its features are quite worthy of the very commendable attempt. Keep up the good work. NEGRO IN RAILWAY MAIL SERVICE. O. Anderson, of Albuquerque, was a visitor at this office Tuesday while in the city. He was here from his home to qualify for the railway mail service. He successfully passed his examinations and now has returned home where he will be employed in the transfer department in his own city. Prof. Miller Lectures For sometime we have neglected to mention Prof. Kelly Miller of Howard university. It was not intention, but for the present he had about escaped us. Events seemed to keep him in the background; but he now comes into prominence again by making a speech in Boston before the Congregational society of that city, and the organ of that church referring in brief to the speech made by Prof. Albert Bushness Hart of Harvard university gave a great deal of space to Prof. Miller. We have no objection to the sin of commission in this speech by Prof. Miller. He took high ground and maintained himself upon it. We say this, because it has been asserted by Prof. Miller's friends that this bureau has maintained an unwarranted hostility toward him, and wish to say that, in so far as Prof. Miller goes (Continued on page 9) BETTER THAN OTHERS.

Boy, Too, Was Sorry. It was such an enticing slide that no boy could resist it, but this the stout old gentleman who was stepping along in a gingerly manner failed to realize. He thought nothing about it until he collided with the boy who knew the slide for the best to be had, and they both went to the ground; the boy, who was small and thin, be low, and the old gentleman, who was stout, on top. The old gentleman found the boy much softer than the sidewalk would have been, but when he regained his footing he looked with dignified re proof at his late cushion. “My boy,” he said, “it is evident that one of us should apologize, and as you seem to be out of breath, I will say that I am sorry this unseem- ly incident occurred.” “You—you're not half—half as sow ry—as I am,” panted the boy— Montreal Herald. An Actor's Pipe-Dream. John 8, Flaherty, manager of the Majestic theater In New York, was walking along Broadway with a theat rical friend, when the latter’s atten tion was attracted by a fine meer schaum pipe in a show-window. After admiring it for a time, the actor sug gested that they go inside and ask the price. “How much for that carved pipe fu the window?” he asked. “Only fifty dollars,” said the clerk. “It's a beauty, and is the genuine ar Sicle. Shall I show it to you?” “But he did not show the pipe,” sald Flaherty, in relating the incident, “for the actor was out of the door and strolling down the street. When I overtook him, I heard him say to him self: ‘Two weeks’ alimony for a pipe? Well, I guess not!’"—The Sunday Magazine. Excuse All Sufficlent. On the day wien the news of Togo’s victory reached town a popular mem- ber of the Japanese colony had a din- ner engagement with a New York fam- fly.

Masters, aged 6 years, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Carson W. Masters of Alientown, Pa., is a musical wonder, besides being a healthy, happy and wholesome youngster, with none of the mental and physical peculiarities which so often mark the child of genius, says the Philadelphia Record. Without ever having taken a lesson on the piano or knowing one note from the other, little Miss Masters has quite an extensive repertoire of music, all of which she has mastered by ear. Whenever she hears a song or a tune that pleases her she listens very attentively and then goes to the piano and plays the selection in simple chords. Her favorite selection is "Teasing," the well-known song from "The Wizard of Oz." Her parents took her to that opera, and on their return home she immediately played the air with the utmost accuracy. Most of her other selections were procured in the same way. A brother, Willard, aged 4, who died two years ago, possessed similar talents, and little Miss Masters first gave evidence of her unusual gifts when she was 3 years old. New Use for Macaroni. The "lady of the house," who had been wrestling wjth the servant problem for several years, recently took a new departure with the hope of solving the riddle. She imported a young colored girl from one of the lower counties of Virginia, with the determination to do or die in the attempt to model her into an accomplished cook at least. The usual hitches and disappointments occurred and the task proved a most trying one. The house keeper persevered, however, until the climax materialized a few days ago. Entering the kitchen one afternoon the lady of the house inquired: "Millie, have you cooked the macaroni?" "What's macaroni?" the importation from the country wanted to know. "Why, here it is," the employer explained, indicating the raw material. "What does you do with that?" the girl then asked. "Eat it, of course," was the reply. "Good laws," Millie ejaculated. "I thought that stuff was what you sucks medicine through."—Washington Star. ND Ad.

The Commonwealth Life Associa. ton, whose home offices are at Six. teenth and California streets, has just suffered the loss of one of their able field men in the person of Charles A. Love, who has left them to ally him- self with J. A. Burson and L, G. Lane to organize the Empire State Life As- sociation, who have taken room No. 320 in the Empire building, the new block erected by Bennett & Myers at Sixteenth and Glenarm streets. Mr. Love was acting superintendent of agencies of the Commonwealth at the time of his resignation. He bore the reputation of being one of the ablest men in the employ of the Com- monwealth and although he had only been with them since last September was “making good” in splendid style. Since the Armstrong investigation in New York new fraternal ordérs have sprung up all over the country, there having been incorporated in Colorado alone, a total, of mutuals and fraternals together, of over a dozen concerns, Of these only about half are in existence to-day. If anyone can make a success of a new enterprise of this kind it is Mr. Love, as his abilities are strictly in the line of organizing and interesting people. The Commonwealth Life to- day has insurance in force in twenty- four states and territories, the busi- ness having been established for a number of years. Mr. Love, we understand, is to be the president of the Empire Life. Tfe incorporators are Mrs. Charles A. Love, J. A. Burson and L. G. Lane.

There were 50,000 in the block and a second lot is now offered, and though the price has been ralsed to luv cents, 20,000 are already bar- gained for. This is a good company for the investor to keep watch on and a better one to put his money in. ANOTHER COMMONWEALTH The Lodge of the Commonwealth Life, at Odd Fellow’s hall, 1832 Arap- ahoe, was instituted last Thursday evening with considerable enthusi- asm. There were quite a number present and after a short address by Mr. Ira G. Harris, president, officers were elected and a committee ap- pointed to get up by-laws for the as- ‘sembly. The next meeting night is Thursday, Feb. 28. Any members of the Commonwealth Life are entitled to lodge privileges and can attend when thay desire. An Innovation is the fact that there are no local lodge dues to pay, as all expenses are pald by the home office. Entertainments are proposed, which will add to the pleasure of the mem- bers and advertise the Common- wealth. The home office is offering a num- ber of prizes for securing new mem- bers. Some of these have been se- cured by Denver and Pueblo members and many others have promised to earn one. A list of the prizes offered will be given upon request to the as- sociation at 616-617-618 Mack building, Phone Main 52.

If my endorsement can do you any good you are welcome to use it in any way you see fit. Cordially yours. (Signed) JOHN H. LANGE, 2620 Welton St. Dr. Justina L.

Harris orchestra will play for dancing when it is over. At 7 o'clock p. m. a number of friends and relatives assembled at the cosy little residence on Arapahoe street to witness the marriage ceremony of Mr. Thomas Goff and Miss Mattie Triplet. The bridal party entered the room to the strains of a wedding march played by the Morrison Bros. Rev. Tolson performed in an impressive manner the ring ceremony. The bride looked lovely dressed in gray silk. The rooms were decorated most beautiful. The tables were laden with carnations of pink. About 9 o'clock the guests were ushered into the dining room where an elegant wedding supper was served. A number of useful presents were given. Both of the contracting parties are well liked.

NANNIE WELLS Recorder THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. BIG TREE-PLANTING PLANS. Pike's Peak Reserve to Have 50,000 to Save the Water. The United States bureau of forestry has begun three extensive projects under its forestry-planting operations for the season. Fifty thousand trees are to be planted in the Pike's peak forest reserve, 300,000 along the lines of the Delaware & Hudson River railroad, planted in co-operation with the railroad company, while a similar cooperation with the Northern Pacific railroad is under way. The Pike's peak forests are for water conservation, while the railroad projects are to supply crossties for the roads. In co-operation with officials of New Hampshire, agents of the bureau of forestry have commenced to make maps of the southern part of that state, which will show the timber land, the agricultural land and the barren areas suitable for tree-planting. It is proposed to map 4,000 acres this summer. Forest work in the state will be done chiefly with the view of advising farmers and owners of second-growth forest as to the best management for the production of pulpwood, boxboards, firewood, etc. AT A MEETING OF THE DIRECTORS OF THE GOLDEN CHEST MINING COMPANY IT WAS VOTED THAT Another object is to complete a forest policy for the state, covering legislation upon fire and forest taxation; also a system to protect timber land and to encourage conservative forest management. OF THEIR TREASURY STOCK BE PLACED ON THE MARKET FOR A LIMITED TIME. Under the supervision of the nited States bureau of forestry, a forest of 35,000 trees has been planted on the slopes of the San Gabriel mountains of California, for the purpose of conserving the water of the mountain streams for irrigation purposes. The entire cost of raising and transplanting the new forest has been but $1.485. The experiment, the first of its kind, is regarded as satisfactory. 1OCts Per Share ...FOR A LIMITED TIME... Admiral Helen Gould. Miss Helen Gould was saluted with the two ruffles of an admiral a she boarded the battleship Alabama the Brooklyn navy yard, says the New York World. A "ruffle" is a roll of the drum with the bugles. The president of the United States receives three ruffles. It was the pretty compliment of the 700 jackies to the woman who has done so much for them. THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST PROPERTIES IN THE BOULDER DISTRICT Miss Gould had been invited to inspect the ship, which Lieutenant-Commander Schumacher told her was "the finest." With her were Miss Edith Hay, Kingdon Gould, her nephew, and Onester Harrison, her cousin. She was received on the quarter-deck and every one of the jackles received a nod of greeting from her as the line filed past in review. Rear-Admiral Coghlan led the way in the inspection of the battleship. DO NOT WAIT SEND OR BRING YOUR MONEY IN, FOR WHILE YOU ARE WAITING FOR MORE INFORMATION THE SHARES WILL ALL BE SOLD.

Carson in a brief talk inadvertently spoke of the president as "Teddy." At this the dog set up a howl. The dog was banished from its place of honor and it was explained that it meant no harm, but was only saluting its own name. Whenever Miss Gould visits an army post the enlisted men salute her as if she were an officer. Aged British Peers. There are seven peers in the British House of Lords, whose combined ages reach 623 years.

This is the first time that this degree has been conferred by this school on any one. WRIGHT SENTENCED.

At 2720 Larimer street Mr. and Mrs. S. J. Buchanan have opened a neat little restaurant. It has already gotten a considerable trade and is supplying a want long felt in that section of the city. They are both well known as keepers of the rooming house at 2810 Arapahoe street, and will doubtless do as well in this as in that, W. A. Watkins has been ill with ® cold but is some better. Chas. D. Johnson is dead in Oak- land. He and his wife used to make this city thelr home and the sad news will mean sorrow to many. PREVENTED ONLY BY PREVIOUS PROMISE, Endorsed by his own county organi- zation, the choice of his own people, and the candidate of the people all over the southern part of the state, Lawyer W. B, Townsend, of Pueblo, weat down to defeat in his asking for a place on the Board of Pardons, only because Gov. Buchtel had already slated a man from Pueblo for a place and the geographical consideration prevented another from the same city. No stronger endorsement of the abi ity and standing of a man could be given than the wonderful following that rallied to support Mr. Townsend in his ambition. This is the first time that any member of our race has made a fight for such a place and Sf at any time in the near future one of us should grace any of the important state boards, it may safely be sald that the path was opened by the Ci- ,cero of the bar from Pueblo.

Result of 15 years experience in tire making. No danger from THORNS, CACTUS, PINS, NAILS, TACKS or GLASS. Serious punctures, like intentional knife cuts, can be vulcanized like any other tire. Notice the thick rubber tread "A" and puncture strips "B" and "D," also rim strip "H" to prevent rim cutting. This tire will outlast any other make—SOFT, ELASTIC and EASY RIDING. Two Hundred Thousand pairs now in actual use. Over Seventy-five Thousand pairs sold last year. DESCRIPTION: Made in all sizes. It is lively and easy riding, very durable and lined inside with a special quality of rubber, which never becomes porous and which closes up small punctures without allowing the air to escape. We have hundreds of letters from satisfied customers stating that their tires have only been pumped up once or twice in a whole season. They weigh no more than an ordinary tire, the puncture resisting qualities being given by several layers of thin, specially prepared fabric on the tread. That "Holding Back" sensation commonly felt when riding on asphalt or soft roads is overcome by the patent "Basket Weave" tread which prevents all air from being squeezed out between the tire and the road thus overcoming all suction. The regular price of these tires is $8.50 per pair, but for advertising purposes we are making a special factory price to the rider of only $4.80 per pair. All orders shipped same day letter is received. We ship C.O.D. on approval. You do not pay a cent until you have examined and found them strictly as represented. We will allow a cash discount of 5 per cent (thereby making the price $4.55 per pair) if you send FULL CASH WITH ORDER and enclose this advertisement. We will also send one nickel-plated brass hand pump and two Sampson metal puncture closers on full paid orders (these metal puncture closers to be used in case of intentional knife cuts or heavy gashes).

Death May Come Any Time, but He Doesn't Fear It. "Some day I guess 'twill get me. We never know." J. B. Boone, professional powder man, dynamite and nitroglycerin handler, moved cautiously about a fire as he talked. At his feet lay 50 pounds of dynamite—frozen. Three feet away was a roaring fire. He was at a stone quarry at Courtney, Mo., where the night before 500 pounds of his materials had exploded. And he had built the fire to thaw out more. "This is the dangerous part of the work," he said. "The jar of a cinder popping from the fire, striking this dynamite, would make it explode. A twig snapped against it or some object dropped upon it, would bring the end. Dynamite is not exploded by heat. It requires some jar—some friction. When it is frozen—and it freezes sooner than water—it is fairly safe to handle. But in thawing the warmer it bocomes the more sensitive it is. When the sticks are warm a dime dropped on them will make them explode. It a dangerous business." No screen was between the dynamite and the fire where "the powder man" worked. If he feared that fatal cinder popping from the dry sticks in the fire he did not show it. In a methodical, careful way, this grave, quiet man worked swiftly and silently by the fire. "I began it with my father when I was 15 years old," he said. "More than 20 years now I've been a powder man, and—well, I'm here to-day, anyhow." But he would venture no prediction for the morrow. CUSTOM OF YUMA INDIANS. Burning the Dead One of Their Interesting Ceremonies. Burning the dead as observed among the Yumas is interesting. The body is first thoroughly wrapped and then placed in logs and brush over a hole in the ground. A bed of logs is built up at each side and at the head of the bier, which is next covered over and strewn about with dry fagots. The flames are applied and, while they burn, the clothing, blankets, etc., of the deceased are added to the fire. The horse of the dead man, however, is not burned among the Yumas, as is the custom with some Indians. A day or two after death the wigwam of the deceased, if an adult, is burned, the rest of the family then going to live with some relative. The Yumas make a great show of sorrow over their dead. Later they are never mentioned at all. The medicine men are still largely in control among the Yumas, and the government makes no attempt to interfere. Usually their patients grow sicker, so that they proclaim them doomed to die and their prophecy will almost always come true. When Love Is Young. They had reached that stage of the engagement when there is usually more or less speculation as to the future on the part of the bride-to-be. "It doesn't seem, Tom, dear, that we could ever speak a cross word to each other, does it, dearest?" she murmured from his coat lapel. "Never, sweetheart!" declared Tom stoutly. "But, dear," she persisted. "If— THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO.

FORD'S HAIR POMADE Formerly known as "OZONIZED OX MARROW" so 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 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 necessity for ladies, gentlemen and children. Ford's Hair Pomade ("OZONIZED OX MARROW") has been made and sold continously 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 ct. 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 druggists and dealers. If your druggist or 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, mention this paper. Write your name and address plainly to The Ozonized Ox Marrow Co.

Most open-air exercise sends one home as hungry as a hunt- er; and ff one eats largely in these days of strict regime and unrestrict- ed diet, all sorts of terrible things are sure to happen—at least are prom- ised by the doctor. It is pointed out in a contemporary that while all the good effects of working up an appe- tite are produced by a long drive in a motor, yet the amount of food re quired to satisfy what seems to be one's huge hunger is actually very small. The air itself feeds one, and air neither upsets one’s digestive ap paratus nor does it supply one with adipose tissue.

No mat ter how flattering such demands may be, they are decidedly expensive.” She went on to say that should she gratify all the persons who wrote to her for copies of her books, “because they could not afford to buy them,” and respond to the constant calls to devote the children of her brain to charities, it would cost her from $400 to $500 a year, without counting the time lov in wrapping, directing and stamping. aw bee EC FNGbe be IS FE UE WV eI OY oT Sn —o_—==[anao—=—— CHORUS GIRLS BOYS MISS CARRIE CARPER MR.

England has reserved a tract of land several hundred square miles in extent on which her soldiers play at war, according to F. A. Talbot in the Technical World Magazine. The Russian-Japanese war served to emphasize the radical revolution which has taken place in warfare due to the remarkable improvements which have been wrought in the devising of long-range and quick-firing weapons, combined with improvements in explosives. The result of this revolution in warfare is that a battle front may range over as much as 60 or 70 miles. Consequently a grave difficulty presents itself in the training of an army to comply with and to understand these new conditions, since it is essential that an army in peace should be brought to a high standard of efficiency which will enable it to cope with any peculiar difficulty that may present itself in actual combat. But to train an army upon this basis necessitates a vast tract of land having a conformation of the most difficult nature and far removed from the influences of human habitations, to enable the men to have the fullest scope in which to practice the new conditions of their science. KEEN INTELLIGENCE WANTED. A Story That Illustrates What Banks Are Looking For. Pierce Jay, the commissioner of banks of Massachusetts, at the American Bankers' association's convention in St. Louis, advocated a better accounting system. "But above all," said Mr. Jay, in a discussion of his idea, "we want intelligence, if embezzlement is to be thoroughly put down. Systems are good, but intelligence is better, and in cashiers and tellers and bookkeepers and note clerks we want the same keen, quick intelligence that characterized old Capt. Hiram Cack of Gloucester. "Cack lay very ill. One day he got down-hearted, feeling that his case was hopeless. "'I fear, doctor,' he said, 'there isn't much hope for me.' "'Oh, yes, there is,' the doctor answered. 'Three years ago I was in your condition precisely, and look at me now.' "Cack, intelligent and alert, said quickly: "'What doctor did you have?" Sorrows of a Humorist. "This thing of being a humorist is about the saddest thing I know," sighed Simeon Ford. "An ordinary person can have his moods and humors as he pleases, but I must always be on the job. I am constantly being invited out, not because I'm liked for myself alone or because of my manly beauty, but because I am expected to entertain the assemblage. The rest of the company may be as dull as dishwater, but if I do not shake up the gathering with a few jokes the hostess glares at me and really feels resentful. I may be sunk in the slough of despond, but just as soon as I take my seat all lean forward and eye me expectantly. "My son, never get a reputation for being funny.

PRESS BUREAU NOTES (Continued from page 1) wrong, this bureau is against him and will be against him, but when he stands up like a man, we are ready and willing to give him the credit that is due him. Hence, he say he deserves commendation for the speech made before the Congregational society of Boston recently. Next year the general conference of the A. M. E. church will be held at Norfolk, Va., and at this conference of bishops, the vacancies in the bishopric will be filled. And it now seems that Dr. E. W. Lampton of the Financial department of the church is to be elected bishop of his church. We are glad to see the trend pointing toward him, because it is a sign of progress that such a man is to be chosen to represent his church in such a high office. Dr. Lampton is one of the ablest and most useful men in the nation, and is both an honor to his church and the race, both of which hope for his elevation, which will be an honor to the church to which he belongs. Only a year will elapse before the conference, and we do not want the church to miss one of the ablest executive in the fold, when the time comes for it to make a choice of men for the high office now vacant.
