FRANKLIN'S PAPER THE JAME The Action of the Legislation the Appropriation Meet Thinking Class---It the Republican was THE JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION The Action of the Legislature in Refusing to Make the Appropriation Meets the Approval of the Thinking Class---It is to the Credit of the Republican Majority that it was Defeated The Rocky Mountain News of Thursday in its report of the doings of the state legislature Wednesday announced under scare head lines the desperate efforts of the Democratic minority to secure "for the colored voters" the appropriation asked for a special exhibit to the Jamestown Exposition. The measure was made to appear as a meritorious one and the refusal of Republicans to act was denounced in strong language. Negroes have been martyrs in fact and need not play at it in a mock heroic of the Colorado Democratic party. And it is from their bitter experience with the reality that they see through the flimsy pretensions of friendship made by Democrats. From the first day that it was known that a special appropriation would be asked for a colored exhibit, apart from all question of the honest administration of the money, the whole proposition was opposed by thinking negroes. Special favors in legislation for coerced people are but the forerunners of special restrictions. This is not mere theory, but is borne out by the bitter experience which we have had. The state Exposition commissioner and those who aided him, have met with no encouragement from the masses of us. They have been compelled to resort to star chamber methods to keep the movement going. They all depended upon favorable action of the legislature and such recommendation as this would be to the negroes themselves. How different is this from the undertaking of the State Business --- EIGHTEENTH YEAR. League! Amidst the utmost enthusiasm, two weeks ago the executive committee voted to take an exhibit of Colorado products to the national meeting at Topeka and it was the consensus of opinion that exhibitors would gladly pay the cost of transportation themselves, and there were volunteers for the care of the exhibits while there! We are no wards of the state or Colorado. We are men. What we want we will pay for or wait until we can afford it. We have our share in every state move for the betterment of the commonwealth. We recognize that class and race proscription does not give us equal opportunity, but we are not so foolish as to voluntarily raise barriers ourselves. It is to the credit of the Republican party that it has the wisdom to see the snare that had been spread for colored people and that it had the courage to brave the misrepresentation that was bound to come from the opposing party. We thank the Democrats for their kind words, but their craftiness is to no purpose this time. We wish that we could close the discussion of the incident at this point. We would far prefer to have this little political bomb of Democracy exploded like Fourth of July fireworks—all smoke and noise and no one hurt. But our duty to the race would be neglected to stop here. This was the keen edge of the wedge of "Jim Crowism" that Democracy is driving into the laws of all the states. AND IN IT THEY HAD THE ASSISTANCE OF SOME NEGROES. All DENVER, COLO., FRIDAY MARCH 22, 1907. honest endeavor to have this bill recommended by the finance committee ended some days ago. Any one who cared to investigate knew that it had failed in the committee. Yet a strenuous endeavor was made this week to have the committee send in any kind of a report THAT THE DEMOCRATIC LEGISLATORS MIGHT PUT REPUBLICANS ON RECORD AS VOTING AGAINST A NEGRO MEASURE. That this would be attempted was known to the editor of this paper. Even without this knowledge, the sinister motive would be apparent from the lateness of the hour and the failure of former efforts. The Statesman accords the Democrats credit for being good politicians and does not criticise negroes who help them because they believe in Democratic principles. But we despise the traitorous and renegade set who are anything for a consideration and whose race-loyalty begins and ends in self. Honest opposition may deserve pity for poor judgment, and while we apologize for those who were well intentioned, in this Jamestown Exposition project, we condemn unqualifiedly those who attempted the delivery of it to party politics. Dead Lawyer Hayes, as he was best known, died Tuesday after an illness protracted over more than a year. His funeral is to take place to-day. He was a member of the Building Laborers' Union. He leaves a wife and children. For many years he was a prominent factor in Democratic politics. Always a fluent talker, he made many friends who will miss his ready wit and keen insight into affairs. Amusements Next week will be a busy one in the way of entertaining. Besides the social events already enumerated in the local columns there will be a drill and entertainment at Five Points hall Tuesday evening given by Captolia Temple of the S. M. T. These ladies have been some of the most successful entertainers in the past and will doubtless enjoy a large patronage. The Harris Orchestra will delight the public with a vaudeville program of eight good numbers Thursday night followed by dancing. This orchestra has not given anything for many months and will show itself at its best. FIVE CENTS A COPY In Politics is recognized as a Friend of the Whole South. Special to Stesman. When Booker Washington made his Atlanta speech at the Cotton States Exposition a few years ago, and marked out the boundary and habilitation of the negro by the declaration that "We can be one as the hand, but separate as the fingers of the hand," the Southern press and Southern statesmen and publicists went wild with delight. They were charmed by the matchless wisdom of this child of destiny, who was, metaphorically speaking, hailed as a second Daniel come to judgment. But subsequent events, some of them of recent occurrence, notably the White House luncheon and the Ralph Tyler incident, have served to change white public sentiment in the South against Mr. Washington, who is now considered to be too active in politics to be longer recognized as a true friend of the white South. The Atlanta Journal editorially discusses Mr. Washington's intermeddling in national politics and questions the propriety of the principle of a great school like Tuskegee enacting the role of a political hackstey on the one hand while on the other he is appealing to Democrats and Republicans alike for money to run his school. The point seems to be well taken. It is well taken, and Mr. Washington should see it with both eyes and either resign his principalship and come out into the open and play the political game in which he is an adept or cease meddling in the political affairs of the states where there are negroes fully competent to attend to them. According to Mr. Washington himself, he has never voted. If this be true, it does not furnish a very good reason why he should interfere in the affairs of negroes who do vote. The Atlanta Journal article will make white men in the South think very seriously, and it may cause some perturbation in the mind of the wizard in the near future. The Southern white man has a way of compassing his end without the air of a brass band—and they do have a wonderful way of getting together when they have a smart, cunning, crafty and diplomatic colored gentleman like Professor Washington to deal with. Mr. Washington in essaying the role of a collosus is attempting too PAGE 10. CANON CITY, COLO. Mr. and Mrs. O. W. Walton entertained Mr. and Mrs. D. L. Bruton and Mr. and Mrs. H.

Fields, than whom few are better known in this city, died Tuesday morning of quinsy at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Kigh on Clarkson street. When the news flew over the city it brought shock and sadness to all. Few knew that he was even sick. Not even his devoted mother suspected how seriously he was affected. It was only Friday that he laid off from his duties at the postoffice. Up until the morning he died, there was every reason to hope for a speedy recovery, then suddenly a turn for the worse came and the end followed in a few hours. The funeral arrangements are in charge of Undertaker Gilmore. The services have been set for 2 p.m. Sunday and will be held under the auspices of the Elks, of which order he has just become a member. He will be buried from Zion church. Few will be more widely mourned or more missed. Mr. Fields was an active worked in all that he was associated with. When only a boy in his teens he made a record in the postoffice that has redounded to the advantage of all colored clerks who have since been appointed. He was prominent in the social affairs of our city and through extensive traveling had acquaintance in most of the large cities of the country. His versatility in this line has made him invaluable in the entertaining of visitors, for which Denver enjoys an enviable reputation. He was an ex-president of the Intergraduate society, of which he was a member, being an alumnus of the East Denver High school. He was one of the incorporators of the Citizens' Investment Company and was identified with many moves of a similar nature. Being the son of one of the celebrated ministers of the earlier days of Zion Baptist church, he was practically born in the limelight of public notice and it is to his credit that he retained the well wishes of the public to his death. Young in years, old in accomplishment, he has been called home, to the loss of us all. But most of all will he be missed by his mother, whose support he was and to whom his devotion was so beautifully shown. The bright future before him, his possibilities, his public spirit, makes it hard to give him up, but "The Lord giventh, the Lord taketh, blessed is the name of the Lord." THE STATESMAN. DENVER.

He has made laziness a success, and can now do his farm work without a backache. There is a little creek running through his farm. This he has harnessed and forced to run a dynamo, which in turn gives light and heat for the house and outbuildings. But Mr. Miner was not satisfied with his accomplishment. The hardest task about the farm, the one which everyone most dreaded, was turning the milk separator at a speed of 7,400 revolutions per minute. This had been done by hand. So Mr. Miner installed a motor which turned the milk separator every morning and evening satisfactorily without any hard labor on the part of the progressive farmer. The next job to be hitched up to the new horse was turning the big barrel churn. Then came the grindstone which is the farm hand's bugbear during the harvest season. The millstream was next made to pump the water for household use up to the roof, where there was a large reservoir for storing it. But wood had to be used for the cookstove, and the slid-length logs had to be cut down, so a circular saw was added to the outfit and a new use was thus found for the electric current. Bees Died from Overwork. The beeman, as he gently removed a tawny cluster of bees from his beard said: "Above all things, never set a bee live near an arc light. If you do, your bees will die of overwork within a week. "An arc light emitting a powerful illumination was put up last spring near my beehives. The night it was put up the bees, mistaking its light for daylight, worked like beavers, though dead tired. "When the dawn came and the light was extinguished the bees, quite worn out, turned in; but lo, in a few minutes the sun was shining, and out the poor, bedraggled little creatures hurried again, for no bee will consent to pass the daylight hours in idleness. "They got through the day somehow and at dusk, after 36 hours of unnecessing toil, they once more turned in. Alas, the arc light began to hiss and glow again, and the poor bees, worn to shadows, bent, pallid, staggered forth for another round of labor. "They were all dead by the end of the week—victims of overwork, every mother's son of them."--N. O. Times Democrat. The Cathedral of Alexander Nevskol, St. Petersburg, is said to have the finest choir in the world. It is composed of about thirty of the best voices in the Russian monasteries. Whenever a novice with an exceptionally good voice is entered he is sent to the monastery of Alexander Nevskol, where he is trained as carefully as an opera singer, and remains there doing nothing except assisting at the music at mass in the morning and vespers in the afternoon until he becomes aged, when he is retired on a pension.

The good he is doing and has done as an educator will never be overestimated, and no sensible man will in the light of the truth and the facts of the record which he has made, will attempt to detract from it. He is the only college principal of whom I have heard who dabbles in politics. There may be others, but I do not know of them. Politics is dirty business at best, and insincerity and hypocrisy, double-dealing and deceit are some of its products. A school principal who is an active politician would be a doubtful teacher of the young and aspiring, of those high aims and objects in life which make for correct living. And we like to believe that those among us who are called to teach the young idea how to shoot are like Caesar's wife, "above suspicion." Machiavelli as a patron of moral philosophy would have been a misfit. Warren Hastings, brilliant lawyer as he was, would have been out of place at the head of a theological school. Booker Washington, the "bright consumate flower of our later civilization, the leader by appointment of the dominant race, of 15,000,000 negroes," is decidedly out of place as the self-appointed political boss of these millions whose moral, intellectual and industrial destiny hygienic and sanitary welfare have by courtesy been entrusted to his guiding and restraining influence. Even the question of bathing, and the care of the nails and teeth of the negro race has been considered as subjects worthy of public comment by this misguided man. After a while he will doubtless undertake to tell us what kind of socks and underwear we shall wear in winter and how often we shall change them. I submit in all seriousness that a leader whose duties are so multifarious and exacting that to impose upon, or for him to impose upon himself the Herculean task of speaking politically for all the 15,000,000 negroes in America, or to select from them those who measure up to his standard of what a negro official should be in order to pass under the presidential wire, is too stupendous, and that if he is not soon relieved of it he will certainly become round shouldered carrying the load. Suppose Mr. Washington should suddenly shuffle off this mortal coil, what then? Upon whom would his mantle fall? The question is really a very serious one. With over $100,000 to raise annually for the upkeep of Tuskegee, which entails much travelling and not a little expert phrase making, according to locality, with the selection of suitable appointees for the federal and state services, the promotion of the ins, the getting in of the outs, etc., etc., is enough to strain the intellect of two Booker Washingtons. Where and how will it all end? JOHN E. BRUCE. Yonkers, N. Y., March 10, 1907. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORAD. There is a growing demand at lucrative salaries in all sections of the country, and especially in the South, for young men train in agriculture. The demand for the graduates from this department of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute is so far in excess of the supply that we are offering special inducements to graduates of other schools, and persons sufficiently advanced in the academic branches to come here and pursue the courses in agriculture, including practical farm work, dairying, livestock raising, etc. An opportunity will be given a few earnest young men to work out all of their board while taking a course. Those interested can secure full information by addressing BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. RETIRING FROM BUSINESS. Madame C. J.

JEWELS OF VAST ANTIQUITY. Discoveries Made at the Capital of Ancient Persia. Remarkable discoveries have been made in the ruins of the temples at Susa, the ancient capital of Persia, where marvels of jewelry have been brought to light, the earliest examples ever known of that country. The jewels of gold and silver are the first of those countries and those ages which have come down to the present day. In this they present a great interest. Unfortunately, it is not possible to assign a precise date to each of them. As the cylinders and seals which form a part of the finds belong to all periods from the fortieth or fiftieth century B. C. down to date of foundation, so it is with the jewels. There are some of every age. The rings of filigree work and the scepter with the lion's head seem to be more recent than the statuettes of gold and silver, which have a frankly archaic appearance, but one can not be sure of this appreciation. Have the discoverers not been surprised by finding rings which, if their origin had not been certain, would be attributed by the most acute connoisseurs to the Greek or Etruscan epochs? Before the discoveries at Dashur nothing was known of the Egyptian jewelry. The opening of the tombs of the princes of the twelfth dynasty was a revelation. It is the same now as regards Elam.

NO MORE HOUSEHOLD DRUDGE Dr. Thompson's Scheme for Saving Women from Cooking. Dr. Robert Ellis Thompson of Philadelphia has a vision, if we may apply such a word to the well-pondered plan of a man of science, remarks a writer in Everybody's. Woman, the homemaker and mother, should not be hampered by household drudgery. Cooking is a matter of chemistry and will be done by men. All the tedious chores of housework, washing, dishwashing, scrubbing, ironing, sweeping, housecleaning—oh, word of horror to the ears of man—will be done by public corporations, syndicates, scientific co-operative housework concerns. Houses will be heated from a central plant and swept by hydraulic brooms. Meals will come from the grand central cookery or its nearest branch. Stairs will be supplanted by automatic elevators. Washing day will disappear from the week. Even now many women send a telephone call for window cleaners, and have their husband's "socks" darned by specialists. In the cities you can have your clocks wound and your lamps trimmed and tended by outside experts. In the Norwegian town of Bergen everybody's food comes from the town kitchen. In Paris the workman gets his hot soup from the grand central dinner kettle. Happy day, if it ever comes, when women have no servants and no household drudgery to earn wrinkles by! We do not understand, however, just how a woman whose husband "gets ten per" is going to have that automatic elevator. Do the city, the town, the state pay all for these "private utilities," made "public utilities." Rich women escape drudgery now. How are poor women to do it? Gave Him Too Much Energy. A man in an apparently moribund condition was recently taken into a hospital in Melbourne, Australia, and in order to revive him an electric shock was administered. The results were startling and unexpected. A demoniac energy was instaneously infused. He sent the doctor sprawling on the floor and flung a couple of assistants out of the window. Then he proceeded to wreck the ward, while nurses ran away shrieking and barricaded themselves. He had done $500 worth of damage before the police arrived. "Mad World. My Masters!" Jean Cheure is a French convict who, on being discharged recently from a Paris prison, requested that he be given another term. He could not be happy out of jail, and said he preferred being behind the bars to freedom. He gave as a reason that when in prison he was employed in kitchens, where life suited him and he grew fat.

Va. was wrecked recently, and several members of the family were badly bruised, says a Roanoke (Va.) dispatch to the Baltimore American. That they all were not killed is almost a miracle. An immense rock near the summit of the mountain, several hundred feet above the house, broke loose from its foundation and rolled down the mountain side at terrific speed, carrying other rocks and trees with it, against Booth's house. The inmates of the house awoke to find themselves being hurled from their beds with great force. The house was carried to the valley below, and the building and furniture was reduced to kindling wood. Financial Note.

The Compagnie Internationale det Wagon-Lits—the Continental Pullman company—is preparing to launch ip France a service of “automobile trains” for the Mediterranean com pany. These cars, which ure designed by M. Serpollet, run on the rails of the company, and are therefore not amen- able to speed rules. With a clear track they can make ninety-three miles an bour, or seventy-five miles on up grades. The cars will weigh thirty-two tons each, but as the weight of an ordinary European Jocomotive is ninety-four tons there {s an enormous saving in wear and tear on the rails. The cars are designed with a view to lessen wind resistance; their sider will be flat, and have no projections and the ends will be pointed. The railway world is interested in this development, and M. Serpollet has received applications from English and other companies asking that the new motor train may be tried over their systems. Of eourse, if the thing sueceeds, automobile railways can be construct- ed anywhere upon steeper grades with far lighter rails and at much less cost than ordinary railroads. Indeed, at this end the venture will be indis- tinguisbable from the storage battery trelley car —Pall Mal! Gazette.

One Gratton Turner, also of Denver, came here several weeks ago. He sought the association of the most common people to be found anywhere, he being the only negro at the home of a white woman and her Mexican lover. During the revelry somebody shot and killed one of the Mexican members of the gang. Every person present said Turner fired the fatal shot, thus weaving about him what everyone thought an impregnable web of evidence, and the gallows seemed his certain end. Lawyer Stewart appeared upon the scene. The only consolation felt by those of any concern was that Turner would at least get a fair trial. Stewart went to the scene of the killing, diagramed the surroundings, learned what he could about the case, and without a single witness, with his associate counsel (White), went into battle. Mr. Stewart first dismissed all Southerners and Mexicans from the jury box and secured intelligent Northern and Eastern jurors, excused the multitude of witnesses from the court room, and as they came upon --- PAGE 8.

To kill a deer and catch a trout at the same time out-Nirmods and out-Izaaks Walton. A fisherman has just done the trick on the Arrow lakes, says the Toronto Globe. The deer weighed 200 pounds and the trout ten. The fisherman was trolling for trout when several deer swam past his boat. One was an old buck and the man managed to catch hold of him as he was going by. Having no gun, he tried to kill the animal with a claspknife. The buck objected so strenuously that he got away, swimming off with the fishing line upon his horns. The fisherman balled out his boat and started in pursuit. After two hours' rowing he caught up with the deer and with oars and knife succeeded in slaying it. While the chase was proceeding a big trout got on the hook and after the deer was safely landed the fish was secured. It is quite a common occurrence to see deer swimming in the lakes of British Columbia, but to capture one and a trout at the same time is infrequent. Painless Dentistry. When a Chinaman wants to have a tooth drawn he feels no nervous apprehension of pain, for the excellent reason that he knows his dentist will not inflict any. The latter simply rubs a secret powder over the aching tooth. After about five minutes the patient sneezes and the tooth falls out. Many attempts have been made by Europeans to get some of this mysterious powder, but no one has yet succeeded ```markdown ``` The Best Program ever rendered in Denver Christians and the geneaal Public are invited DONT FORGET THE DATE April Eighth 1907 BEAUTY NOW MADE TO ORDER Many Contrivances to Aid Unfortunate Homely Ones. The best artificial noses nowadays are made of papier mache, enameled. Such a nose is fas ened to a spectacle frame sometimes for the sake of convenience, and thus may be put on or removed at brief notice. There is a patented contrivance, somewhat resembling a clothespin, for attachment to the nose to give to the organ a proper taper. Another device is supposed to improve the lines of the mouth. Not a few people have no roofs to their mouths, having been born without any, or in other cases having lost them by disease. For such unforturates artificial mouth roofs, made of galvanized rubber, are furnished. There is a patented device for cleaning the tongue, consisting of a knife with a concave edge to which a sort of sponge brush is attached. When cue is not well one's tongue is liable to be disagreeably coated, but the annoyance may be removed by means of the instrument described. If you desire dimples you may wear a certain kind of wire mask at night to which are attached blunt wooden points that may be caused, by the help of screws, to press upon the points where the dimples are wanted. Thus after a while the dimples are made to appear.--New York Herald. Try our job printing, it's good GAS MANTLES ONLY ASHES. Invention Due to the Experiments of a Vienna Chemist. The gas mantle is nothing but ashes and it is wonderful how science makes its particles cling together as long as they do. The gas mantle was invented by a chemist of Vienna. He noticed the intense light given out by a small quantity of thorium thrown into a stove in his laboratory. He realized the importance of the discovery and in 1880 began a series of experiments to utilize this remarkable quality of the element in intensifying light. He found that pure thorium would not cohere well enough to be of use, and he then began searching for a combination of elements that would answer. In 1887 he produced his first mantles, but they were so delicate that they could not be transported, and were delivered by hand. A boy was trusted to carry two, one in each hand, for delivery about the streets of Vienna. In the early '90's he found that a good mantle could be made from a combination of the two substances, thorium oxide and cerium oxide, and that a coating of collodion would give a sufficient firmness to allow it to be transported. Since then gas mantles have gone into general use in nearly all parts of the world, and thousands of factories are producing them. The Commonwealth LIFE ASSOCIATION OF DENVER, COLORADO.
