THE STATESMAN THROWN DOWN THE GAUNTLET THE PANAMA CANAL MODERN ENGIRNEERING EIGHTEENTH YEAR. THROWN THE Secretary of War Taft has thrown down the gauntlet in Ohio and Senator Joseph Benson Foraker has taken it up. He has taken it up with all the courage and fire which is characteristic of the man, and means to win all or lose all. That he has a chance to win all the friends of the resident concede, and they are not a little worried over the situation. They realize that Senator Foraker starts off with the fair conservative interests with him; that the men who followed Marcus A. Hanua to victory are sailing under oraker standards; that the "interests," which believe in justice to all classes, that the colored vote of the country will stand with him; that the soldier vote will follow his call, and that above and beyond all these forces he will be armed with right. Can these forces be beaten in America? COLORED MAN APPOINTED. A young colored man by the name of William Cook, having made the THE PANAMA CA MODER The Panama Canal will be built. When this greatest undertaking of modern times becomes complete, Seattle will naturally become the greatest city of the pacific coast. And as the great agencies of progress move westward, developing in their march the country which is so rich in natural resources, the Chicago of the West will be transformed to Omaha, Neb. Here in this great railroad center of the great Mississippi Valley will be the radius around which will revolve the commercial interests of the western section and out of which will be evolved the nation's highest commercial destiny. In this development the colored people of the south, especially, will contribute.

When he entered the office some of the southern crackers who were employed there resigned, and those who remained petitioned the supervising architect for his removal. The supervising architect, who is a Kentuckian, had not the backbone to do his duty and say to those men who had protested to him to work with the colored man or get out, but forwarded the petition to the Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Cortelyou. At this writing no action has been taken on the part of the petitioners or the treasury officials, and Mr. Cook is still being subjected to all kinds of indignities, even to the point of being assaulted. And all of this is going on during the administration of the man who cries aloud that merit wins. In the long run it must, but it must see in its wake many martyrs. those farms which are now in need of an increase of colored inhabitants who are offered fortune and power if they bt go, will acquire the number needed. The young men of the race who have a farseeing vision will not allow this opportunity, which has threads touching infinity, to pass without making the most of it. Get out into the big world of that country which has so many undeveloped resources waiting for claimants and make a future of the age and time in which we live. THE RICHARDS LIBRARY.

There were 50,000 in the block and a second lot is now offered. and though the price has been raised to 10 cents, 20,000 are already bargained for.

Initiation of new members into the Forward and I Will Fountains being one of the features of the evening, also a review of the history of the True Reformers was given by the W. R. S., George R. Contee of Forward Fountain. Under the leadership of Worthy Chief Cash this order is making rapid progress, adding new members to its ranks at each meeting. The True Reformers stand today as the strongest Negro organization throughout the country, and therefore needs no introduction to the people of the west. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO.

Mrs. Mercedes Lloyd and daughter will go to Pasadena, California, tomorrow. Mr. and Mrs. William E. Wise left the city last week for Omaha, where they will reside permanently.

Smith Wednesday evening, a dinner By Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Patterson Sunday evening, a dinner by Mr. and Mrs. Roundtree Friday evening and a party Thursday evening by Mr. and Mrs. Holly. After a long illness and much suffering Mrs. Sarah Hubbard, wife of the Denver District Presiding Elder, passed away Sunday morning, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. DeNeal. The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon from Shorter church at 2 o'clock and the pastor was assisted by Revs. Payne and Brown, and Rev Tolson from Boulder. The arrangements were in charge of Undertaker Gilmore. Interment was at Fairmont. Beautiful floral tributes were given in profusion. The pall bearers were the officers of the church. The deceased also leaves a son, Rev. W. T. Thornton of Albuquerque. Many friends miss her helpful and cheerful disposition and the great Christian family is bereft. --- SHORTER'S GREATEST EASTER At Shorter's A. M. E. church Sunday gathered the largest crowd in its history at Easter services. Long before the service the church began to fill up and when the organist began her soft heavenly-like prelude the pews were nearly full. Never before did the choir show so much feeling and emotion in their songs. It seems as if everybody and everything was striving to make the day Shorter's greatest Easter. Rev. W. W. S. Dyett preached as never before. Then, some fearing that they would be unable to get seats in the afternoon stayed in the pews to witness the exercises of the Sunday school chidlren. A little boy of six, Cuthbert Byrd, grandson of Rev. Byrd of Pueblo, thrilled a packed house by singing the "Holy City." Helen Martin, seven years of age can make old people weep by touchingly singing "Nearer My God to Thee." Verily "A little child shall lead them." At the night service the choirister and organist, Miss Gertrude Nichols, displayed the result of her labors in treating the audience with one of the best sacred concerts in the history of the church. More fine, expressive and real soul-stirring music was rendered than heretofore.. The special features were the rendering of solos, duets and timely recitations by Miss Elsie Von Dickershon, Mr. Roy Handy and Mrs. Lytton, a sacred reading. Rev. Dyett being unable to restrain himself at the crowd filled even beyond the capacity of the church, again and again gave the choir unstinted praise. Too much cannot be said of Rev. Dyett as pastor of Shorter, coming to the church burdened with debt as he did. He has made the many needed improvements in the church and remodeled the parsonage, and leaves practically no debt. Denver is proud to have such a man in her midst. He was educated in West Indies in finance when a boy and then became manager of a large establishment with nine men under his employ. This readily explains how he so easily and successfully manages a big church like Shorter. The church was never in a better spiritual, financial and social condition than now. Rev. Dyett led in 1904, while pastor of St. Joseph, Mo., the Missouri delegation to general conference and will no doubt be forced, because of his unlimited success in the west, to be chosen delegate to Norfolk, Va., in 1908. Being a member of the board of extension, which will meet some time this month in Philadelphia, he will have to depart some time soon for that meeting. Rev. Dyett's success Sunday was not alone due to himself, but his many faithful officers, members, teachers and friends all bore their burdens nobly. His wife, Minerva Peck-Dyett, who with her congenial disposition and natural love for children took a leading part in the training of the children for Sunday. As president of the Mite Missionary Society she has shown herself a very amiable worker and a person of a sound ability. RESOLUTIONS At its meeting Monday night Rocky Mountain Lodge No.1 A F & A M, passed the following resolutions of respect to the memory of the deceased wife of one of its members: Whereas, Divine Providence has called hence Mrs Emma Rector, the beloved wife of our brother T. S. Rector, departing this life at Springfield, Ill., March 16, 1907, and. Whereas, the members of Rocky Mountain Lodge No.1, A. F. & A.

NANNIE WELLS Rocorde A MUSICAL ORGANIZATION THAT PAGE 16. Some seven years ago there was made a beginning in this city of what has since become the famous Harris orchestra. Of musical talent there has always been a plenty in Denver but up to the organization of this orchestra the musicians were content with mandolin and guitar music, sometimes strengthening that with piano or violin. And in fact, it was out of this same kind of effort that the or JOHN H. BROWN couragements, both within and without, the one because of the inexperi- chestra has been evolved. Through the hardest of vicissitudes and dis- FIRST EASTER EVENT. Denver was full of tired, sleepy people Tuesday. A vast crowd attended the Easter ball of the Elks Monday night and enjoyed themselves so much that the record of Denver was broken and it was nearer 3 o'clock than 2 when the ball broke up. It is a rare compliment to the committee in charge of this event that everyone enjoyed himself to this extent. James Cartwright, who was chairman, had the able corps of entertainers assisting him that has made Rice Lodge famous. First of all, they decorated the hall tastily, using palms and bunting in profusion. Next, they used the Harris orchestra, guaranteeing the best of music. Nothing occurred to mar the occasion and the first of Easter events has gone down in history a grand success. LUBELSKI'S THEATRE. Commencing Monday evening, April 8th, an entire new program will be inaugurated at the Lubelski Theatre, corner Fifteenth and Lawrence streets. There will be two vaudeville shows in the evening, commencing at 8 o'clock and lasting until 9:30, and from 9:30 to 11 o'clock. The price being ten cents to any part of the house. Unlike many places of amusement your money is like everybody else's money, and from the crowds that attend the theatre shows that they are getting their money's worth. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. WE SHOULD BE PROUD OF ence of the musicians, the other because the public would not support an untried orchestra, it has made its way to the very forefront of favor. Four pieces have grown to ten, so that it is now capable of furnishing music for any occasions that may arise. We present a likeness of J. C. Harris, the manager. To his untiring energy and wide knowledge of the composition as well as the instruments suitable for orchestral music, is due the high standing of the Harris orchestra. Let a popular play come to the city with new music not to be found in the stores, the Harris "bunch" plays it while the play is still here, for the enterprising manager can arrange the score himself. With this versatility he has the happy knack of persistency so that genius is supplemented by practice and the very best music in the west is the result. Last week it gave a vaudeville entertainment and dance at East Turner Hall that excelled anything of the kind ever attempted in this city for years. Praise of each number could be given without stint. The program was bright and varied, replete with dash and good music. Local talent only was employed, but many a performance at the local vaudeville houses was eclipsed. After the program the soft, soothing waltz, the vivacious two-step and the stately schottische were played to perfection and those in attendance had the time of times. JOHN CONWAY PROMOTED. The Daniels & Fisher Stores company has again set the pace and promoted a colored employee to a position usual held by whites. This time it is John Conway, who has been employed as elevator pilot there for years who is the fortunate or rather the deserving one. He has been given the place of director of the elevators and henceforth will be found on the first floor giving directions to pilots and patrons. It is needless to say that this promotion is deserved, nor need we fear that Mr. Conway will fail to come up to the requirements, for he is thorough in whatever he undertakes. As for the employers, we feel that in a measure their success is a personal matter with the colored people, for to them, more than any other firm, is due the general employment of colored help in the large mercantile establishments of the city.

He treated the subject from a didactic point of view, dealing with the causes which set in motion the forces which afterward ripened into the most appalling tragedy, save one, that the world has ever seen. The cause, he stated, was oppression and the aim of the revolutionists, EQUALITY—equality in that broader and comprehensive sense which means the recognition of man as man. In dealing with the period of actual carnage, it was argued by the speaker, a world of blood was shed which should have been spared. He though Louis the Sixteenth a weakling, Marie Antionette frivolous, Madam Stahl brilliant but impure, Mirabeau, the greatest statesman of that period, Necker the foremost financier of France, Robespierre, her greatest orator and Napoleon the bright star of her military greatness, and told how all of these had failed, because of wrong. In the discussion which followed, Miss Hallie Q. Brown maintained that the French Revolution was inevitable, but that its aim was not realized, and doubted if any good had really been accomplished by it. Miss Campbell agreed with Miss Brown that the conflict was unaivodable, but thought good had been the result. Miss Helen Jones took the same view. Miss Houston, Miss Lynch, Miss Evans, Mr. E. G. Syphax and Miss Moore supported the first contention of Miss Brown, while Mr. A. S. and H. J. Pinkett argued that the reformation aimed at and the ideal realized could have been accomplished had a great man been upon the throne of France instead of Louis the Sixteenth, relying upon Macauley, Gibbons and Carlyle in support of this contention. After the discussion Miss Dyson gave a summary of the program, submitting that the French Revolution had to come, perhaps, not in mad fury, as it did, but come it must. It was then agreed that the subject should be continued for at least one more meeting. And then the repast was served, thus ending one of the most brilliant meetings of the Society. It was good to be there. That the colored people, except some cowardly office holders, are a unit for Senator Foraker in the great struggle he is making for the crushing of wrong and the maintenance of right, seems to us to admit of no other construction or interpretation. For the first time in the history of the race have we had the race so united in behalf of one man and the cause he is espousing. Of all men in public life today they look upon him as the man who can mest serve the highest interests of the whole nation, regardless of race or class. Unlike some men, he does not indulge in the wild delirium of railroad prosecution or hope to change the corporate interests in a day. He believes in their proper regulation and control, but understands that the ends sought in this behalf must be attained slowly but surely. He is a member of the old guard, standing for the principles for THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORAD which the grand old party stood when it was grand indeed. The liberty of the fathers was good enough for him and remains the same. His antidote for the ills which seem to or in fact do afflict the nation; is justice. This he would apply to all men and all interests and above all to al men. He woud have no dual system of aws for race or class, but would always have justice sit enthroned as the guardian of our rights and our liberties. Standing next to Senator Foraker, and a man near and dear to all lovers of liberty is Geo. W. Atkinson, ex-governor of West Virginia, now judge of the court of claims of the United States. He is our second choice for President of the United States. THE WORK OF HER ANCESTORS On last Tuesday night Mrs. Ellen Spencer Mussey addressed Bethel Literary and Historical Association upon the subject: "Home the Unit of Civilization." She gave a sketch of her father's family and told of the part her father and her husband had contributed to the abolition of slavery; of the home her father had—how in that home sat honor and purity, the highest ideal of human life. She presented story after story of homes in plenty, but not in spirit. For a true home, the speker declared, there need not be wealth and power, but spirit. Out from the true spirit must go the men who will make all that is best for tomorrow. Upon the conclusion of Mrs. Mussey's address, Dr. A. V. Gray, on behalf of the citizens of Washington, presented to Mrs. Mussey a beautiful bouquet of flowers. In doing so she made one of the most feeling utterances of supreme gratitude that has ever been pronounced in Grand Old Bethel. The usual discussion followed the reading of the paper, and in this Mr. A. S. Gray carried off the honors in that wonderful Burke-like style which he has so completely mastered. The audience was of the best and even Mrs. Mussey, worker for and among colored people for more than half a century, was surprised to see such an audience as she faced from the forum which she so ably graced upon the occasion above mentioned. The fact that she did not expect to see such an audience and seemed surprised when she saw it, is another indication of how little white people really know of the higher life of the colored people among whom they live and with whom they work. Bethel Literary and Historical Association, in the Literary world, is the ship. .Merchant Tailor. Our Work Talks Cleaning Pressing and Repairing 1939 Broadway STOCK OVERSUBSCRIBED.

Of this class of Denver business men none have attracted more wide spread attention, nor have done more to deserve it, than the able generals at the head of the great department store and mail order house—The Den- ver Dry Goods company. The Denver Dry Goods company was established in 1894, It is located on Sixteenth street, running back the entire block on California to Fifteenth street, and is one of the most beautiful and palatial business structures in the West. The officers are: D, Sheedy, pres dent; W. R. Owen, vice-president and general manager; H. J. Bagley, secre: tary and treasurer; T. N. Wood, su- perintendent. In all the commercial enterprises of this great Western country no busi- ness, great or small, has achieved such phenomenal success or gone forward with such laps and bounds as has the Denver Dry Goods Co. In the brief period of its existence this great de. partment store and mai! order house has been brought to its present com manding position in the world of com- merce, a position rarely attained even through generations of prodigious ef forts. “The Denver” has always been es pecially fortunate in its management. From its inception it has had men at the head of it who have been familiar with every possible method from which the best results could be ob- tained, Among those most prominent men. tion is due Mr. W. R. Owen, vice-pres- ident and general manager, to whose genius for accomplishing things,’ as much as to any other one thing, the Denver Dry Goods company owes its proud and unquestioned pre-eminence to-day. While tirelessly energetic and resourceful, Mr. Owen also possesses that remarkable tact, rare in this day and generation, which impresses his individuality on the employes of the company in such @ manner as to get the best results, and at the same time retain the veneration and respect of all those under his direction. His knowledge of men and things has been a great factor in the great work that he and his associates have accom- plished in building up this great busi- ness. His possibilities as an execu- tive are unlimited, and his devotion to duty, coupled with strictest integrity of character, haye wrought wonderful developments in the company he so ably manages. But as we must have generals, so must we have lieutenants and others wnose duties are to see that the com- mands of the generals are executed. This is true of “The Denver,” as it is of other efforts of this life where things are done on such an extensive scale. The department managers and buyers, a great army of earnest and sincere workers, have their duties and responsibilities, and it is a generally known fact that “The Denver” has the best trained and most efficient corps of department managers and assist- ants of any big store in the West ‘They are experts in their line, and in their work demonstrate a comprehen- sion of the business that borders on tn remarkable. _ The personnel of the sales force is selected with great care. They must be ladie sand gentlemen, and being thus familiar with all those polite lit- ue amenities of social intercourse, make the customer's visit to the big store a most pleasant and agreeable jatar Courtesy, promptness and a strict regard for justness and fairness are the rules under which the sales force work. A child receiving the Same treatment as the parents. THE DENVER’S STOCK AND SERV. ICE. Having buyers in all the great mar- kets of the world who are constantly on’ the alert for the best and most fashionable goods at the lowest prices “The Denver” is always in a position to sell at a better advantage, quality considered, than is possible for any store that has a less extensive and thorough organization and smaller yol- ume of business. Its service both in Denver and over the entire Western country is noted for promptness and correctness. There are no delays, no vexatious red tape. Every need is promptly met and the customer, whether in the store in per- son, or a thousand miles away, finds all the conditions incident to his pur- chase scrupulously complied with. ALL GOODS GUARANTEED. One of the prime features of “The Denver” is the fact that every pur. chase made from its stock is guaran: teed, no matter from what depart a This is a rigid rule, the en forcement of which has le th, m- pany many staunch and me tomers. RETURNED GOODS. The etore’s guarantees is made sure and instantly effective in its per petual promise that if for any reason the goods purchased are not satisfac- Nas or cannot be used, they can be returned for exchange or cash refund provided they have not been soiled in handling to such an extent as to pro- hibit their further sale. In all cases where an exchange is not desired the purchase price will be returned, Al! sales are subject to this rule. ITS KNOWLEDGE OF “METHODS THE BEST. ne service Was CONGUCLEd aiong new and untried lines, the old paths of mechandising were forsaken and the newer ones worked out upon broad principles of absolute fairness and changeless good faith with the people until in “The Denver” the mere bust- ness of “trading” has been elevated to a place among the arts and sciences. The Denver Dry Goods company’s building, as it stands to-day, is the largest and most commodious of its kind in the United States west of Chi cago. The frontage on California street is 400 feet (the entire block from Fif- teenth to Sixteenth street) and ex tends back into the block a distance ot 125 feet. The cost’of the recent ad- dition with fixtures was $750,000, The total floor area is 305,750 square feet; show window frontage, 650 feet; 250 polished plate glass windows, occupy- ing 20,000 square feet of space; 12,000 square feet of mahogany paneling for show windows; width of main aisle 20 feet and 400 feet long; five new elec- tric passenger elevators; two large modern freight elevators; an escu- lator or moving stairway; twehty new and handsome delivery wagons cost- ing $300.00 each. The lighting and power plant is the largest in the West and is a marvel of engineering excellence. The en- ine room is in marble and art tiling and is enclosed in plate glass. This room contaipyg!! the latest and most upto-date ioe and Is destined to be one of the show places of the big store. The engines, of which there are several, are ponderous and power ful, one of which is a 300 horse power Fleming four-valve Corliss-Cross com pound, direct connected to a 250-K, W generator. This engine, one of the most powerful and beautiful ever put into a building, was built to order es pecially for this installation, and 4: the highest type of engine used for this purpose. The building has a complete auto matic sprinkler system, which in case of fire will deluge the place witt water. The system works automatic lly and when the temperature reaches 165 degrees will give a fire alarm and start the sprinklers. Con nected with this system there is ar aggregate of 40,000 feet of from 2 to 6 inch iron pipe and a 24,000-gallon tan) for the water supply. An artesian well in connection wit! the building gives an abundant sup ply of fresh, sparkling and wholesom water. VACLILIM MEATING Q@VATEM The building will be heated by what is known as the vacuum system, and is the largest and most extensive heating plant in this Western country There are many miles of steam pipe, ranging in size from one-half inch to twelve inches in diameter, and radta- tors apparently without number. PNEUMATIC CASH SERVICE. The company's method of handling its cash receipts is by the pneumatic cash carrier system, the central office of which is in the basement. This system is worked by means of brass tubes which form a circuit connecting with stations all over the building. By creating a vacuum within the pipes the carrier is propelled from the central office to the most remote portion of the building within five seconds of time. LIGHTING SYSTEM The building is lighted by electricity, a multitude of arc and incandescent lights being located at advantageous points throughout the building. The company has its own private plant and it is complete in every detail. The wiring for these lights is exposed so that needed repairs or alterations may be made without destroying or defacing the walls and ceilings. Each floor has a separate switchboard arranged so that a portion of the lights may be turned on without lighting the entire floor. A SUBSTANTIAL BUILDING. Every known device in erecting large buildings has been employed to make this a most substantially constructed building, and from foundation to roof nothing has been overlooked that could in any way add to the staunchness of the structure. THE WORLD'S BEST MERCHANDISE. Almost every desirable thing in the way of merchandise the factories of the world have produced can be found displayed on the magnificent new mahogany counters and shelves, and in the many beautiful glass cases of the big store all in most generous variety. From the basement to the sixth floor the vast stocks would do ample credit to a city ten times larger than Denver, and the perfect system of arrangement makes shopping a pleasure. THE MAIL ORDER DEPARTMENT One of the most interesting and important of "The Denver's" enterprises is its modern mall order department. This department has been brought up to a high standard of efficiency and its prompt, accurate service has won thousands of regular patrons whose homes are scattered throughout all portions of the West. The department occupies a large portion of the sixth floor and employs a numerous force of very busy workers. Every order, great or small, receives the closest attention, and should a mistake occur, which is a rare thing, whether made by the customer or the house, the company stands ready at all time sto make the proper correction. Like our strenuous president, the watchword here, as in every department of the store, is a "Square Deal" for everybody. This policy has become proverbial with the big store, and customers a thousand miles away may feel as confident of getting what they want, and being fairly treated, as though present in person. It is by this policy that "The Denver" has built up a most enviable mail order trade and it is increasing THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. every day. The department is equipped with every modern convenience for the proper and rapid handling of orders. THE UNDERPRICE STORE. One of The Denver's important and growing departments is the basement underprice store, where stock of good quality is sold at lower prices than usual retail. The underprice store has become very popular and prosperous and will be greatly enlarged in the new building. LADIES' RECEPTION ROOM. Up a broad stairway, leading from the first floor, is a balcony that runs back and connects with a similar balcony on the other of the central elevators, this side having a stairway in like manner. This balcony is reserved exclusively as a large general reception and rest room for ladies. From here a most commanding and comprehensive view of the entire first floor is obtained. The furnishings are elegant and elaborate. The floor is covered with velvet carpets; there are upholstered chairs and couches, writing desks, stationery, toilet rooms, etc., also courteous maids in attendance. For the weary traveler, or shopper, this place proves a haven of rest. TEA ROOM. A new tea room, up to the hour in every deail of equipment and service, will occupy 75x125 feet on the fourth floor of the Fifteenth street building; nothing will be neglected that is necessary to make this an inviting and satisfactory resort where appetizing viands of known purity will be served at reasonable cost. MPLOVE'S RTSTAURANT. employes' lunch room is on the sixth floor, convenient to the employes' elevator. This is furnished with every convenience for those who bring the lunch and any desired addition can be procured from the restaurant at very moderate price. THE SODA WATER FOUNTAIN. Near the balcony in the Sixteenth street building is a modern soda water fountain, 30 feet in length, containing the latest improved devices, courteous and attentive attaches preside, and one may enjoy any of the many delicious beverages known to experts in the profession. THE WAREHOUSE. The warehouse is located on Twelfth and Wazee streets. It is 125 x75 feet and has five stories and basement, making practically six full stories. It is one of the largest warehouses in the West, and its big and commodious rooms are packed from basement to roof with the finest of goods. IN CONCLUSION. The fact that the capital city of this great commonwealth can boast of an establishment of this kind, the peer on the very best department and mail order stores in the country and a paradise for shoppers, is evidence that Colorado is no longer the "frontier," for it is the growth of Colorado and the Rocky Mountain region in population and wealth that has made such a store possible.

"You would be surprised to know the vast number of children among the poorer classes in New Orleans who do not clearly understand the value and function of the nickel" said a storekeeper downtown, "and it all results from the popularity of the quartie system which has always been so much a part of life in this city. They are the small buyers, who run all kinds of errands for the little family to which they belong. "Purchases, amounting in individual cases to less than 5 cents daily amount in the aggregate to thousands of dollars. It is no small part of the retail traffic of the city. The children split a nickel up into very small pieces, buying a penny's worth of this and a penny's worth of that, until they leave the store or the market with an armful of little packages which will represent the day's supplies. "Sometimes they will spend only a part of the nickel, and will get a ticket, or tickets, or maybe pennies, in change. Frequently the purchase will amount to $2\frac{1}{2}$ cents, and then they get a pasteboard check for the other $2\frac{1}{2}$ cents, which is legal tender at the place issuing it for its face value. Checks or tickets of this kind are extensively used in this city, and they have added greatly to the circulation of a sort of crude subsidiary money. "Oze of those checks is as good as gold at the grocery or market scall where it is issued. It is predicated on and gets its value from a redemption fund, just like Uncle Sam's money, except that instead of being redeemable in gold on demand, it is exchangeable at the grocery at its face for any of the things in stock, or good at the vegetable stall at the market place for 21/2 cents' worth of anything on hand when it is presented. It is always good for what it calls for on its face."—New Orleans Times-Democrat. ei THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. PAGE 7, MEETING OF THE EXECUTIVE BOARD OF STATE FEDERATION.

The only national appointee is now stationed in the Philippines--We need one in Colorado The presence of a Republican in the United States Senate from Colorado again revives the hope that has long existed in the hearts of colored Republicans of this state for some position in the national employ as the just recognition of the party for the part we play nationally. In bringing this matter to the attention of Senator Guggenheim, we do not want to be considered as laying undue emphasis on the race issue. We wish that it was only so that our efforts toward good citizenship in this country were received as coming from men, not from colored men. But it is not so and hence when we have been overlooked in the dispensing of federal patronage, we are but following the precedent to regard it as a personal loss. We feel that our reward like our service should bear the color label. Here lies the opportunity for Senator Guggenheim. Having never in the whole history of the state had a representative position in the gift of the national government, we would be the easier satisfied and the better pleased. It is needless to say that there are places that could be given that we would be glad to fill and do an honor to our race as well as good work for the commonwealth. Such an appointment would not come to colored Republicans as an act of charity but as our just due and would reflect no less credit on the giver for fairness than on us for loyalty to party. The legislature has adjourned and so far not even the opposition press has said that the legislators will have to sneak home by the alley route. It is typical of the radical mind to want extreme measures in legislation as in all other things but good sense says make haste slowly, so the people of the state will congratulate the legislature on several good laws and an absence of bad ones and leave it to the other fellow to grumble. --- PAGE 8.
