ROOSEVELT AND BRYAN THE PRESIDENT'S ANANIAS CLUB THE PRESIDENT'S ANANIAS CLUB EIGHTEENTH YEAR. ROOSEVELT OUR WASHINGTON LETTER. The country is watching Theodore Roosevelt and William Jennings Bryan. Mr. Roosevelt is the foremost exponent of the doctrine of federal supervision of railroads; William J. Bryan, the greatest ma nof his party, advocates government ownership of railroads. Mr. Roosevelt seriously opposes this view, and Mr. Bryan, under political expediency, shifts somewhat his first position and now advocates government ownership of trunk lines only. Mr. Bryan, as we understand him, does not advocate immediate action for the acquirement of ownership, but postpones this necessary action until the time is ripe for the undertaking. Mr. Roosevelt believes in immediate action for the control of regulation of railroads, thinking that the time will not come when it will be necessary for the federal government to own the railroads. In this discussion, Mr. Bryan is far ahead of Mr. Roosevelt, and perhaps, the only solution of the problem, as Mr. Bryan contends, is government ownership of railroads. Certainly, the principles of federal supervision and regulation, as now urged by the president, mean, sooner or later, government ownership. In other words, the natural consummation of federal or THE PRESIDENT' Another man has been initiated into the "Ananias Club" by President Roosevelt. This time it is a king of finance, the greatest railroad magnate in the world, Edward H. Harriman. Mr. Harriman says the president begged him to contribute to the elections of 1904. He states very openly that he gave $50,000 toward the election of Mr. Roosevelt and his friends and aided in raising the sum of a quarter of a million. Mr. Roosevelt denies this, calling Mr. Harriman a liar. But yelling liar makes no answer, and at one time the American people would have thought it unbecoming in a pres- ```markdown ``` DENVER, COLO., FRIDAY APRIL 12. 1907. governmental regulation, is government ownership. It has been urged by the president and his friends that the policy advocated by Mr. Bryan will prove fatal; but if that be so, the policy of one is as fatal as that of the other. One is postponed, but in effect is the same as the other. The whole controversy, the whole scheme, was conceived, not for the good of the American people, but to further political ambitions, which have as their terminus the White House; Roosevelt for a third term and Bryan for a third try. The American people are not the objects of this effort to reform Something must be done to save the people from the power of the trusts, but that something must be done wisely. Each step in the effort to relieve the situation must be taken calmly and carefully. Crude impetuosity will have to give place to wise statesmanship and the best talent of all that is best in the nation must be brought to see the pressing necessity, and then action must be taken toward the proper restriction, andfinally toward the purchasin gof the great railroads of the country by the government. This is Bryan's view and it is the view which will sooner or later be adopted. ident of the United States to use such biting epithets. It may be some of them think so still, and some day we hope they will register their unbelief in this sort of thing. In the meantime, Mr. Harriman has many people believing he told the truth to his friend when he said the president begged for money. To say the least, this country is becoming very sensational, and we are inclined to think that the world looks upon us with curiosity with a president fighting the trusts and at the same time begging them to make him president. We would this were not so. In the eyes of the nations we are not the America of old. REV. J. E. FORD LEAVES FOR NEW YORK AND ROME Y. M. C. A. Young Men's Christian Association work among the colored men of this city is gainin gapace. On last Sunday afternoon, Hon. Wm. T. Vernon addressed the association upon the subject: "The Two Talent Man." He showed how the ordinary man, that is, the man who has but ordinary ability must do to get on in the world and reach the top. On this occasion he was the real orator, and made the best speech since he has been in Washington. Men of ideals and achievement, it was indeed good to the anly solutio nof the problem, as be there. (Continued on page 2) The departure of Rev. John E. Ford, who for seven years was pastor of Zion Baptist church, comes as a personal loss to many of Denver's people not only of his church but of other denominations and even some outside the church. His good work inside the lines of his calling have received so much praise and placed him so clearly in the eye of the public that it is little short of marvelous that he retained the goodwill of all the people to the end of his stay and was spared the envious shafts that often come to men of prominence. No greater evidence could be adduced of his winning personality and modest merit than this. Even in the last days when all were trying their utmost to pay their respects to him in encomiums of praise, in gifts, and in touching evidences of friendship, he was himself. Truly one is gone from us whose place is not to be filled. Others may do as much, others may preach as well, others may walk among us in the same manly, Christ-like way, yet to him as the pioneer in many a movement for the good of the whole people, there will always attach a peculiar honor. It is not our purpose to heap up Ossa upon Pelion in sounding his praises, for words even then will fall short of what we mean, but we would point a lesson in the walk of Rev. Ford here in Denver. To him first FIVE CENTS A COPY AT THE CURTIS The stage at the New Curtis theater, week of April 14, will be occupied by what is said to be the best old time colored minstrel show before the public.

The newspapers generally have been saying good things of both the company and the performance and the kind words of the press has helped wonderfully in making the season's success. The management's policy of giving the people good value for their money has proven it is the right thing to do. LEAVES YORK AND ROME and foremost is due the greater or lesser unity that is among us. To his wisdom we owe the plan. To his tact and personal influence the accomplishment. And as great men are pointed out to budding youth for example, and inspiration, so we would use the high standing of our departed friend to cheer some one on to continue the work he has begun. As he is honored so can another be who works for the common good. It is not expected that one's own interest shall be foregone, but that with broad, clear wisdom he shall see that his greatest good is identical and coincident with that of the whole people. In the departure of Rev. Ford we have all lost a friend, but we can rejoice that his work is so thoroughly done here, that we can see him go to other fields of usefulness gladly for there we know he will reap a hundred fold where here there was but ten. The windy days of the last two weeks have caused quite a lot of inflammation of the eyes. Among the sufferers from this is iMss Mayme Tanner of 2115 Arapahoe. She is drawing benefits from the Commonwealth Life and says it is the best sick benefit she ever saw, as they pay while you are down and pay for diseases other sick benefits bar out. ```markdown ``` PAGE 10.

THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO Wants Old Men for Counselors. King Edward daily shows increasing desire to rely upon men of mature years for his companions. Young men seem to be rather a trial to his rotund majesty, and it is rare that a courtier under 30 attains a position among his more intimate acquaintances. As a whole the Edwardian court is very little if any more youthful than was that of Victoria a dozen years ago. The Berlin Marriage Season Matrimony is so popular in Berlin during the first two weeks of April and Saturday so frequently the particular day chosen for the performance of the marriage ceremony, that the city officials have issued a notice calling on all interested parties to consult the said officials before fixing the day, so that the work may be distributed over the week. Cost of New York Building. A twenty-five story building is to be erected in New York, 100 feet square, and on land worth $100 a square foot, or $1,000,000 for 100 square feet The building, 325 feet high, will cost only $1,400,000, only 40 per cent, more than the land. Offices are expected to rent for $2 a square foot—$800 for a room twenty feet square. Imperfect Brain Development The so-called "defective classes of society"-the idiotic, feeble-minded improvident, habitually immoral, inebriate, criminal, insane and other victims of arrested or otherwise imperfect development of brain, attributable largely to malnutrition both before and after birth. Coal Mining in India. All the coal of India is bituminous Some of it is hard and glossy, like Rock Springs, Wyo., coal. It sells for from $2.68 to $2.24 a ton. It only costs fifty-five cents a ton to mine, screen and load in the cars. The coal fields now operated are in Bengal, the native states of Central Indian, and Hyderabad. India is first among the coal producing dependencies of Great Britain, and its coal field covers 35,000 square miles. The total output in 1905 was 7,762,779 tons. Bengal supplied about 93 per cent of the amount. India has abundant labor, capital, and convenient water transportation to the sea. The hauls by rail are short and comparatively inexpensive. The consul general thinks that eventually India and not Japan will control the coal market of the Eastern world FELT TENTS NO NOVELTY love Long Been Used as Shelter for Campaigning Soldiers. A Copenhagen dispatch tells of Jane who has invented a new military fashioned of felt. Possibly there may be some new method of treating the material, but felt tents are not a new device. They played their part in eastern history at a date sufficiently late to be in most people's recollection. The Turcoman tribes of Transcaspia, not to seek further, have used tents of felt for ages. The use of them had a curious effect upon a Russian expedition thirty-five years ago. Gen Lomakin assailed the stronghold of the Tekkes and fired in terrific volleys of grape and shell among the tents of felt. But no serious damage seems to have been done, and when the troops attempted the storming of the felt encampment they were repulsed and fled in wild panic.

THE BROWNSVILLE AFFAIR Senator Foraker has announced that the defense of the battalion of the Twenty-fifth regiment is closed, and the committee has adjourned until April 15th, when the people of Brownsville will appear for the government. This is the part of the investigation in which we have an especial interest, for the persecutors and prosecutors will testify under very different circumstances from those under which they testified in the "drum-head" investigation which resulted in the wholesale discharge of the colored saliers. The "highly respectable citizens of Brownsville" will meet Senator Foraker of Ohio upon cross-examination, and he will separate falsehood from truth and cut to shreds the tissues of lies upon which impetuosity lynched the innocents. Up to the present the men who wronged the soldiers by believing them guilty of "shooting up Brownsville" have repented and they now say they do not believe the soldiers guilty. What does the president say to this? Is the president now convinced that he was wrong, and will he do his duty as a man and reinstate the soldiers? Will he revive the once-famous "square deal?" We anxiously await the coming of the brave Texans. We want to hear what they have to say and see them wither before the merciless cross-examination by Senator Foraker. Watch the tide. CHARMING ELOCUTIONIST. Friday evening of last week Miss Mamie Powell Burrill gave an illustrated production of "Ben Hur," "A Tale o fthe Christ," in the A. M. E. church to one of the most representative audiences of the capital. Miss Burrill read those wonderful lines with a charm and finish which marks her an elocutionist of rarest charm and beauty, who puts into her work that higher intelligent appreciation of the true artist which this proves her to be. he told the story of wronged youth, imprisonment of early manhood, separation from mothers, sisters and friends, the desperate desire for revenge upon the man who had wronged him in his early manhood, of the longing to again come face to face with his kin, of his triumph in the famous chariot race over Messalla, the man who had brought upon him all his woe, how he regained his fortune and his station and rank, of the birth of Christ, the part he player in the great panorama of human events, how Christ blessed Ben Hur, and finally how Christ restored Ben Hur's leprous mother and sister to him in purity, and the ascent of Christ unto his father, God, after he had given his admonitions to those who beheld him depart. If General Lew Wallace could have heard that young and beautiful woman reading the lines of his greatest creation, he would have realized how perfectly sublime was his gift to man. Miss Burrill's reading was a revelation, and inspiration and a joy to all THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORAD. who heard her. And that magnificent audience of 2,500 people who were blessed by being present to hear her, we are sure, join with Bethel Literary and Historical Association, under whose auspices her rendition was given, in expression of genuine pride in and appreciation of this sweet child of genius. OF THE OLD GUARD. Senator Nathan B. Scott of West Virginia, according to latest rumor, is to feel the torture of the "greatest man who has ever lived in the tide of times." Senator Scott is what some reformers would call a "reactionary." However, he was fighting for his country when some of the wild reformers were unborn. Senator Scott and Elkins are of the old guard, and they will not allow the great principles for which they have fought for a lifetime to perish before the onslaught of revengeful impetuosity. And the report goes out from the White House that a wonderful conspiracy has been unearthed which had as its object the undoing of the president. How melo-dramatic, how startling, how weird, how Rooseveltism and withal how spectacular and nonsensical. How exalted is our nation. ALBUQUERQUE, N. M. Mrs. W. T. Thornton and her sister, Mrs. Rachel Lott, left quite suddenly last Thursday for Denver to attend the funeral of their mother, Mrs. Jas. A. Hubbard. They expect to be gone for several weeks. Wm. Petlue and James Anderson came down from the Madrid coal camp to spend Easter Sunday with their families. They returned Monday, accompanied by them. Mrs. Mamie Houston returned Saturday from a visit of several months at her old home in Boston, Mass. F. A. Hill of El Paso has been in the city for several days and while here he organized a Knights of Pythians Lodge. Mr. and Mrs. Ben Russell of Las Vegas, a newly married couple, spent several enjoyable days in the city last week on their bridal trip. They returned home Monday. Quite a number of strangers are arriving in our city and from reports they are all pleased with theim new homes. J. R. Robinson and family left Sunday for Las Vegas. They expect to make that city their home. MILLINERY PAR EXCELLENT Mrs C. D.

The meeting was well attended and quite a number converted. Rev. Solly of Las Vegas, N. M., was called to La Junta on special business. He preached the communion sermon Sunday evening to an appreciative audience. Rev. Solly being our expastor, is always welcomed in our homes. The N. U. G. club will meet at Mrs. James S.

Father Turner is feeling much better than he has been and with the assistance of Mrs. Watson he is thinking of conducting a series of meetings this week. Mrs. William King entertained Mrs. Watson to dinner Monday. Mrs. John Lawson entertained Rev. Solly and Miss Susie Starkey to dinner Monday. At the home of the bride, seven miles north of La Junta, Mr. Mack Knight and Miss Rosie E. Starkey were united in bonds of holy matrimony. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Wm. Solly, who was called from Las Veegas, N. M., for the occasion: The bride wore a beautiful white net gown entirely covered with lace ruffles about an inch wide. Such a gown had not been seen in this part of the state before. The beautiful bridal veil attached with a wreath of white roses extended almost to the bottom of her elaborately made gown. The groom wore a beautiful black dress suit with white vest. They each wore a beautiful boquet of white and pin kcarnations tied with pink ribbon, the colors being pink and white. The room was also beautifully decorated. They received many beautiful and useful presents. Their many friends wish them much success in their newly begun life.

The Rufus Rastus Minstrels that come to the New Curtis Theatre, week of April 14, is a typical minstrel show in many respects, but is unusual in many others. The familiar first part is all there, six funny end men, the sweet singing quartette, the dancers, the vocalists and the orchestra. But In spite of the stereotyped features there is much in the Rufus Rastus or- ganization that distinguishes it from the ordinary class of burnt cork shows. In the first place the artists composing the organization are the best that money can secure the clever Carys heading the list of fun-makers. Their names alone should serve as a guar- aunty of good things to come. Then there are James and Moody Pitts. burg’s witty parodies and conversa- tionalists, wno have good voices be- sides the ability to make the audience langh whether they want to or not. The Great Layton is another of the high class cards in his brilliant per- formance on the high slack wire, wind- ing his act up with the thrilling double shot. Marvelous Drakero, the flexible frog man, is one more sensation. Every act is in truth a feature and the en- tire performance is said to have a wing and dash, an abundance of vi- tality, and a spirit of enthusiasm that is fetching and pleases all classes of theater goers. THE WORLD'S WONDER, Drakero, marvelous, masterful ex- ponent of intricate contortional feats. Is the closest beck bender in the world, Drakero commences to do contortional feats where other contortionists leave off. Don’t fall io see him with Rufus Rastus Minstrels at the Curtis theater all next week. HOMEWOOD & SANGER MINSTREL SHOW IS UP-TO-DATE. Rufus Rastus Superb Minstrels un: der the direction of Homewood & Sanger, was Wednesday night's offer- ing at the Chatterton and it can be safely sald that the attraction was the the best colored minstrel show ever seen in Springfield. This is no ex- aggeration, the show is new, clean nd up-to-the-minute in every feature, and it was thoroughly enjoyed. Every move was perfection itself. ‘The vocal- ists were the best ever heard in Springfield. The “Olio” embraced a number of fine special features which cannot be improved upon. James and Moody, those two clever comedians, singers and dancers, were the big hit of the “Olio.” The famous Albermarle quartette was fine and was enjoyed. The clever Carys were recalled sey- eral times. Joe Galloway is the star of the show and is the cleverest col- ored comedian ever seen here. “Rufus Rastus’ Return” closed the show. It was a very clever musical comedy in one act and sent the large crowd home voting Rufus Rastus the best colored minstrel show ever seen in Springfield. —Daily Register. 3 : aa ‘ite bs ie 4 aa ‘ * bi ; Y : =" a rere ne CLEVER CARYS ee es RUFUS RASTUS MINSTRELS, The Rufus Rastus Minstrels played to the largest house of the season at the opera house last night.

Week Commencing Sunday Matinee APRIL 14TH HILARITY AND MIRTH REIGN. High-Class, Clean and Moral in Tone. Brings an interesting attraction into local view for the first time, and it will in all probability be the chief amusement happening of the spring season in theatrical circles. The attraction is the Famous Rufus Rastus Colored Minstrels, an aggregation numbering thirty of the most talented colored performers in the United States, all of them past masters in depicting the comedy of the negro race and the old fashioned pastimes of slavery days. The program is said to be of such excellence that nearly every performance this season has found a full house. The people who furnish the entertainment might all be put in the "headliner" class while there are several who stand pre-eminent and such are the Clever Carys in coon and love songs. Hear them sing "My Pretty Little Kickapoo" and "The Moon's Got His Eye on You." James and Moody, two of the very best colored comedians on the minstrel stage. Hear them sing "Good-bye, I See You no More" and "If You Wanta Meet a Johana Man, Shake Hands With Me." The Roys, John and Lizzie, America's greatest buck and wing dancers and cake walkers. The Wilson trio, in a series of musical selections. The Great Layton, who does some wonderful stunts on the wire. The celebrated Albermarle quartette, Messrs. Joe Galloway, Al Edwards, George Hughes, Al Hawkins, in popular songs and southern melodies. Marvelous Drakero, the boneless wonder. Joe Galloway, that big black minstrel man. Hear him sing "Here Comes That Rufus Rastus Band." Miss May White, Lizzie Roy, Miss Cary, Miss Fanny Parks, Miss Georgie Smith, George Israel, Wm. Israel, James Harris, George Nutt, Ed Holland, A. J. Jones, James Olney, Wm. Hoyle, Joe Hughes and many others are also in the bill. THE ALABAMA BLOSSOM. Jordan C. Collins, the famous Alabama blossom, is one of the cleverest comedians on the minstrel stage. He is not alone a clever comedian, but is the world's greatest buck and wing dancer. Don't fail to see him with the Rufus Rastus Minstrels at the Curtis theater all next week. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. RUFUS RASTUS MINSTRELS. Homewood and Sanger's Rufus Rastus Minstrels appeared at the Powers theater last night before a large and delightful audience. The upstairs, both balcony and gallery, was packed and standing room only prevailed, while down stairs the parquette was taken as was also a majority of the orchestra chairs and if it hadn't been for the inclement weather, the company would have played a packed house. The first was fine in stage settings and the performance excellent, the singers, dancers and end men working hard to please and judging from the applause heartily bestowed by the audience, they succeeded admirably in so doing. Joe Gallowway, the "Big Black Minstrel Man," and J. W. Moody, the Kentucky whirlwind; W. H. James, the "Black Jester;" John Roy, the "Alabama Blossom," the four end men par excellence, kept the audience convulsed, their witticisms and jokes being fresh and up-to-the-minute. The "Olio" was exceptionally good. The Australian wonder, Marvelous Layton, is the most wonderful wire walker and balancer ever seen here, his return shot will never be forgotten by those who witnessed it. We have seen contortionists, but Marvelous Drakero has no equal as a contortionist, his back bending was the greatest ever seen here. Last but not least, "Rufus Rastus' Return," the musical one act comedy sent the audience home screaming with laughter. Long may Rufus Rastus' banner wave.—Decatur Morning Herald. The Rufus Rastus Minstrels who make their first appearance here the week of April 14, at the New Curtis, present an entertainment that in a general way is similar to the old style minstrelsy, but of course, is made of new songs, new dances and new specialties. There are not many minstrel shows on the road nowadays, for none but those who employ the very best of talent, peculiar to that form of amusement, can make a success of touring the country. The success that has attended the Rufus Rastus management, so far this season is therefore a sort of guarantee that this show is meritorious and well worth seeing. ONLY ME. Homewood & Sanger, managers of Rufus Rastus Minstrels, are very fortunate in securing the famous Gorden C. Collins, America's greatest colored comedian. Mr. Collins has just returned from Europe where he has been a leading feature in all the leading vaudeville and music halls of England, France, Ireland and Scotland. This is Mr. Collins' first season in America in six years. Mr. Collins is supported by thirty-five of the cleverest colored artists in the minstrel and vaudeville stage. See him at the Curtis, week commencing Monday, April 14. AN OPEN LETTER. The Rufus Rastus Minstrels played in our Opera House to standing room only. The company has a good band; is composed of fine class artists and is highly entertaining. Everyone was well pleased with the show. We recommend them as a good minstrel company. T. S. SOUTHGATE, Manager Wanette, I. T. Opera House. THE AUSTRALIAN WONDER Homewood and Sanger, managers of the Rufus Rastus Minstrels, are pleased to announce to the amusement loving public that they have secured at a big expense the most marvelous and wonderful artist of the 20th-century, the marvelous Layton, the only colored wire performer in the world. Layton does some of the most wonderful balancing and juggling acts ever witnessed on the stage while walking the wire. See his wonderful return shot. Don't fail to see him at the Curtis theater all next week. THAT FUNNY COMEDIAN Tom E. Briggs, leading*comedian of the Famous Rufus Rastus Minstrels, who appear at the New Curtis Theatre Sunday matinee, April 14, for one week, is not alone a clever comedian, but author of all the songs he will sing during the week's engagement. Don't fail to hear him sing "I Seen Everybody But the President," "I Never Like to Work No How," "If You Haven't Got Company Just Wait for Me," "On the Rock Pile," "If a Chicken Was a Rabbit I Run Myself to Death." If you miss seeing Tom E. Briggs you PAGE 5. will miss seeing America's leading colored comedian. Don't forget the date, New Curtis Theatre, week April 14th. Duncan, I. T., January 28, 1907.

Much ado in little London the past week, many visitors, strangers, dinners, etc. There is still much talk of the debate given at Payne chapel March 11, under the auspices of the Parsonage Club. The winners, Mrs. Julia Embry and Mr. Fred Roberts, gave a dinner at the residence of Mrs. Embry last Wednesday at 6:00 o'clock, in honor of the defeated. Mrs. C. Fleming and Mr. W. H. Duncan, also the judges, Mrs. Cammack, Rev. R. W. Johnson, Mr. Millican and the president of the Parsonage Club, Mrs. Allie Lawson Whittaker, the other guests were, Mrs. Charweil, Miss Beatrice Reed, Messrs. L. L. McKrunder and Mr. Robert Fleming. Covers were laid for ten, on each place card (standing with dignity and in other forms pretending to gestulate and speak) was found a most appropriate momento of the Easter week a chick-a-dee. By Rev. Mr. Johnson gave in words, with logic, wit and humor, the expression of each chick-a-dee. The table was beautifully decorated, pink and white carnations and ferns were used in the rooms which were effectively decorated. The dinner was cooked and served by a "real" chef and waiter, Mr. Frank Embry. The menu? Well, things might be found in a White House cook book or among May Irwin's choice receipts. Master Roger Green and Mr. Cooper were confirmed at Epiphany mission last Sunday by Bishop Armstead. The bishop is a man of marvelous strength and character, and deep spirituality. He is gifted, eloquent speaker. A large crowd attended the services. Mrs. H. B. Fox returned home from a week's visit in Denver and reports a pleasant time. Mr. Reed, at Lowell school, received an injury last week by having his right foot severely mashed. Prof. L. L. McGruder spent all of last week in the city. While here he was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Smith Lee and Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Bell. A round of luncheons, dinners, parties and breakfasts were given in his honor. He was entertained by Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Earl, Mr. and Mrs. W. Pennington, Mr. and Mrs. Jabes Thornton, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Fleming and Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Bell. Mrs. Sadie Earl of Lawrence, Kans., left Tuesday for her home. Mrs. Earl came to attend the funeral of her sister-in-law, Mrs. Susanna Earl, in March, and has remained with Mrs. Childress since that time through her great sorrow as a comforter. Mrs. Earl is an old resident of this city and many regret to see her go. Mr. Fred Roberts spent a few days in Denver this week. Payne chapel choir has become one of the best ohoirs of the city under the direction of Mrs. E. Butler, and always renders music of a high order in an artistic and impressive manner. The leading sporano is Mrs. Milligan, who has an exceptionally fine voice. Mr. Curtis has a pleasing tenor voice, while all the rest have splendidly cultivated voices. Oh, by the way, please repeat the Cantata. It is these things which account for the high quality of music given at Payne chapel. Mrs. H. D. Earl entertained at dinner Tuesday in honor of Mrs. Sadie Earl, who left for her home Tuesday night. Prof. L. L. McGruder played Pilgrims' Chorus and Grand March from Tannhanser at St. John's Baptist church on the newly installed pipe organ last Friday night at the Pleasant Hour Literary Society of which Dr. R. Sundam Grant is president. The music was enjoyed by all. For dandruff use "Vivian," sold only at the Santa Fe Hairdressing Parlor. Mrs. Mollie C. Booze read an excellent paper on "Success" at the Men's Sunday Forum last Sunday. Mrs. Booze is a graduate of Straight University, New Orleans. Rev. South delivered an address, in the course he gave a graphic exposition of the material prosperity of the race, in spite of all obstacles, he also indorsed both the higher and industrial systems of education as essential to the race's welfare. An appreciative audience listened to the splendid speakers. There was a reception given in honor of Mrs. E. Butler and Mrs. L. Davis by Payne Chapei choir last Friday night at the residence of Mrs. Lucy Buckner. About thirty assembled to pay their respect and the ladies were shown how much they were appreciated for their untiring efforts in the choir and Cantata. The affair was conducted by Mrs. Lula Olive, Mrs. Lizzie Watson and Mrs. Lucy Buckner. All enjoyed a pleasant evening. The "Santa Fe Hair Dressing Parlor" is a new enterprise opened up at 510 East Huerfano street. Be sure to patronize it as this is the first and only parlor in the city owned and operated by a colored lady. Only experienced girls will be employed. Mrs. A. L. Whittaker, the scientific massuer, who conducted a parlor in Manitou last summer and who has at this time a class of twenty, found it very necessary to open this place for the benefit of so many more desiring her treatments.

Readers of this paper remember well what strenuous efforts we made in the school election two years ago to rally the full strength of colored voters to Thomas Keely, who was at that time candidate for member of the school board. At that time there were colored girls in this city who had qualified themselves for teaching according to the standard of the school board and they deserved to have the same opportunity for employment as was given white girls. In advocating Mr. Keely's cause, we were hopeful that a friend on the board would be sufficient to provide the open door. We had no desire to raise a color question. We owe no apology for asking equal employment. Not even our worst enemy would say that we do not pay taxes enough or have population enough to warrant the employment of a colored teacher. Yet we failed signally to gain our point, so that a year ago the most unhappy divisions obtained among the negroes of this city on the school election. A small number backed the candidacy of Dr. W. A. Jones as a rebuke to those who were responsible for our condition. Others excused them, saying that Rome was not made in a day. Whatever may have been the attitude, it still was clear that discontent has come to stay and nothing short of a fair deal will satisfy. In a few weeks the city will again choose a member of the school board. The colored people will learn with regret that I. N. Rogers, one of the old-time Denverites who has always displayed a friendly disposition toward us, will retire. Many we might lose with no regrets, but Mr. Rogers, never. In the choice of his successor it is little likely that our want will be consulted, AND IT IS THEREFORE UP TO US TO MAKE AN INTELLIGENT STAND FOR THE ABOLITION OF A DEAD LINE IN DENVER SCHOOLS. Far be it from us to urge the ap- PAGE 8. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. pointment of any one who is not qualified, let us not even think of asking an abridgement of the requisites in favor of a colored applicant, but we have a right to go into the contest with no restrictions on account of color. Money will be spent for workers to help elect this or that candidate election day, and hired henchmen will try to arouse favorable sentiment by fair and foul means in the meanwhile. But honest negroes who want the right, will brand the hireling as he deserves and will work for a man who is not color blind and who will try to carry out the school system as it should be in an American city. GREAT FALLS. MONT. Promptly at 11 o'clock Sunday morning, Easter, the services began. The church was beautifully decorated in the regular Easter colors, birds and flower severywhere. Sermon, "A Risen Savior," by the pastor, Rev. J. H. C. Redd. The choir rendered some very choice music. At 2.30 p. m. the children held forth, each one receiving two colored eggs.
