INTEMPERATE SPEECH NO HELP EIGHTEENTH YEAR. INTEMPER SPEECH Race prejudice has existed in this state to some degree, but has never been so virulent or broken out in such high places as now. The dark shadow of the national situation has rested upon us—the controversy over the discharge of the negro soldiers by the President, the enactment of "Jim Crow" legislation by the various southern states, the frequent magazine articles on "the problem," the alleged continuation by the administration of McKinley's policy of retiring Negroes from public life, these all have saddened us by our sympathy with our unfortunate brethren. But now in Colorado has come the first outright case of legislation directly aimed at our people in the emblem law recently passed by the legislature; for the first time in years public sentiment has been such as to encourage a Christian minister, Rev. Coyle, to seek notoriety by means of platitudinous denunciations of us, past, present and future; the hospitals, sacred to suffering humanity, are denying admission to us except under the most prohibitive conditions; the progress of unionism has driven us into more and more restricted lines of work; oppression and repression are working their worst. Added to the outside influences both nationally and locally, are the weaknesses and unhappy divisions which are ours as the heritage of the past. To catalogue the hindrances in our upward progress would be a long task, but to tell of the resources is but a C. A. Mo. With no appeal left to us to in Florence the tian spirit of the right race, of the Eureka assed expressedly for our will give a recisiv with justice subverted church of this carties to a suit, we fall and in Florence, Ty refuge, self-help.

But in either case it is to ourselves we must look. The future is dark but not hopeless. A man has his work to do, and when that is done a fitting death to die. In doing the work that is before us whether it be the actual accomplishment of our emancipation from prejudice, or playing the heroic role of victim of hate, we will derive no help from bluster or from abuse. Diplomacy is no less valuable than mere valor. If we are to accomplish the former, it is essential that we get on the best possible terms with our neighbors. That does not mean to be craven, but certainly pleasant relations will not be fostered by arrogance and impudence. Manhood asserts itself by no such cheap tricks. An exchange says in last week's issue: "It is stated on unquestionable authority that President Roosevelt shed tears a few days ago when the black bishops called on him to discuss the political situation, and, incidentally, to nominate a chaplain for the soldier boys. Seneca reminds us that patriotism and tears are the last refuge of hyprocites." To thus boldly accuse so great a statesman as President Roosevelt of cheap charlatanry is to convince all fair people that we are weak minded to say the least. In the soldier incident President Roosevelt has violated a principle that is dear to the American heart, and as people of our race (Continued on page 8) COLUMBIA GOVERNOR FOR COLUMBIA (From Our Washington Correspondent) housing and labor, to be conducted by commissioners at a salary of $5,000. The Citizens' Committee of 100 to represent all general civic interests. In general the report is good; all of it cannot be carried out, much of it ought to be and will be adopted. A governor is needed here, and the several departments now governed by boards, in order to insure better government, should be presided over by commissioners. The report pleases the colored people, and they hope it will be adopted by the President and put into practical shape by Congress. It is the right step in the right direction. ENT A DEMAGOGUE tion of the Republican party; and it is not even wise to hastily believe that he will get the indorsement of Ohio. Certainly Secretary Taft is not the choice of the President for his successor; every indication points to the fact that the President is seeking the nomination for himself. If this were not so, he would not put his war secretary forward thus early, knowing that he cannot maintain himself for a year before the American people. But the friends of Senator Foraker should work for him just as earnestly as before; he is the same great man that he was before the Ohio tentative compromise, and he merits the same unceasing support and pure loyalty that have been shown toward him in the past. He stands for principles, not policies. Members of Golden Gate Juveniles are requested to meet at their hall on the 25th of May. Business if importance will be transacted. By order of Malden Princess Sister Grigsby, Recording Scribe Oglesvie Lawson, 1360 Hazel Court. State Historian & Natural History Society ```markdown ``` Mr. James B. Reynolds, who at the request of the President has been making investigations of social and administrative conditions of Washington, has made his report to the President, recommending radical changes in the administrative department of the government. Briefly summarized, his report provides for: The extension of civil service to cover all minor offices of the District of Columbia. The creation of the office of governor at a salary of $10,000 a year. The creation of departments of health, police and fire, buildings and public works, street engineering, charities, corrections, and IS THE PRESIDENT IS THE PRESIDENT Following the reckless methods of the reformer who does not know his mission, the President has been talking and working for nearly eight years in behalf of "Roosevelt Politics," but his principles have not been announced. All we can hear from him and his friends is: the policies inaugurated by the President must be carried out; somebody bearing the mark of the President must succeed him, or the country will be damned. No man, unless he favors "my policies," not "my principles," can hope to get the approval of the American people. Has it come to this? Are we being treated to something original and effective in government, or are we being deluded by a demagogue whose highest ambition is to get the votes of the people; to serve longer in the White House than any of his predecessors? This is our opinion of the situation, this is the view we are forced to take of the matter. NO CAUSE FOR ALARM. The turn of affairs in Ohio should not be the occasion of alarm upon the part of any of Senator Foraker's friends; nor need they fear that Secretary Taft will receive the nomina- FIVE CENTS A COPY (Continued on page 2) IMPORTANT.

Foret oor cacao toad a cd ee el | ( remem een eeeeeensceeeeene ns Seana eae Sap Sir William Gowers has recently de- veloped a new theory of sleep. Accord- ing to his explanation, the suspension of consciousness in sleep !s probably due to a “break and make” action among the brain cells. The activity of the brain is considered to be due to nerve cells, from which spring nerve cords that go on dividing and subdividing until they terminate in little knobs. Formerly it was be- lieved that the nerve cells of the brain were in permanent connection by means of their terminals; but now it appears that these are only in oppo sition and capable of being separated. The hypothesis is that during sleep such separation takes place, and the fact that narcotic substances are cap- able of inducing sleep !s held to sup port this view. Unsportsmanlike Prayer. Old Roman sportsmen sought by every means, human and superhuman, to win their chariot races. Douglas Sladen, in his “Carthage and Tunic,” tells how the archaeologists have re- covered various imprecations used by owners of racing chariots and buried in tombs before the races. Here js an example: “I adjure thee so bind the hands, the head and the heart of Victoricus to-morrow as I hold this cock bound. Bind also the members of the horses which he may driye, Minder them from springing forward. Precipitate their driver from the char fot, so that he may be dragged across the bippodrome.” The Formidable Bent Pin. “Hub!” scornfully snorted the nickel-plated safety pin. “You are not in the same class with me.” “Oh, you haven't any cause to be stuck up,” retorted the ordinary pin. “Speaking of classes, some of us have Occupied chairs in the foremost echools and colleges.” Not Evenly Balanced. “But his salary is equal to the amount of work he does, isn’t it?” “Gractous! No, that would be aw- ful.” “How do you mean?” “Why, he'd be 80 overworked het have norvous prostration.” “The most interesting story 1 ever heard camo from the lips of old ‘Buck: skin Charley,’ chief of the Southern Utes,” said J. P. Altberger of Philadel- phia. “As told by a white mam the narra: live is tame, indeed, lacking the dra matic action and eloqnence of the red warrior. It was about a meeting with a big grizzly bear in the mountains of Colorado. Charley was out looking for deer. He was equipped wita an old-fashioned, single-barrel, muzzle. loading rife, which put him et a ter. rible disadvantage, when he was sud. den'y confronted by-one of the big: est specimens of the grizzly he ever saw. “‘l jumped behind big tree very quick,’ he said, ‘and Mr. Bear came Close, rearing up on his hind legs. I was scare! to sl.oot, only having one barrel, “Then I commenced to talk. 1 sald: ‘Mr. Bear, | am your friend. 1 come out after deer. I hope you go awey ond so I kill deer and leave big Pleee of meat for you.’ Then tha bear seemed to get friendly and he dropped on bis legs to the ground, much as to esy he'd like a piece of deer, and then he run off Into the mountains."— Washington Post. + tuanle Penguin Chased Over Decks and Recaptured. A penguin hunt during a winter storm in the mid-Atlantic was one of the odd experiences of R. E. Jones, who returned yesterday from a bird beying trip abroad, says the Minneapo- lis Journal. Commissioned to buy the stock for the great aviaries at Big Island park, Mr. Jones was returning with some 50 out of the 2,000 birds he had purchased at the various markets in England and on the continent. His traveling proteges were lashed in 1..2l] crates on the upper deck in the lee of the smokestacks. Ons morning when the seas were ruining high and no passengers dared to venture upon the aecks a crate con- taining a penguin broke loose, crashed down to a lower deck and broke open. Mr. Penguin promptly emerged from the debris and started on a tour of ex- ploration. It happens that penguins are not available in the market every day, this specimen being one of two which Mr. Jones bought on the London docks of a sailor just in from Africa. Consequently he saw that heroic steps were to be taken at once if one of his rarest birds was to be saved. In im- minent danger of being washed away by the big combers, he and a sailor chased the escaped prisoner over the sloping, slippery decks until the bird was again safely caged and stowed away. FISH THAT SWALLOW SAND. Ocean Denizens Which Load Their Stomachs with Ballast. An official of the fish commission, at Washington, states that captains ‘of fishing smacks in the North sea have found that codfish at certain times of the year take sand into their stomachs as “ballast.” This, it would appear, is done when the fish are about to migrate from the shallow water covering the southern banks of the North sea to the deeper water farther north. It has been observed that fish caught on the southern banks just be- fore the migration begins and those caught in the northern waters after it is completed have sand in their stomachs and that the sand is dis- charged afte~ the arrival of the fish at the southern banks on the return migration. In proof of this it is stated that the sand found in the fish offen differs in color and quality from that of the bot- tom where they are caught. A Novelist’s Mission. The neglect of Disraeli’s writings may be in part due to the fact that most people think {t is below the dig- nity of a statesman, or of any man following what is called a “serious” profession, to enmpose works of fle: tion Certainly, many do not yet understand that the man who writes novels may be a very wise man; they do not realize that accurately to portray human nature and to present pictures of life is not only a most worthy, but also a most difficult task requiring for its performance an in- telligence far above the average, acute powers of observation, and a keen sense of humor. For surely the great novelist is the observer sounding the depths, while others glance at the sur face and examine the mysteries of life, while others are content to overlook even the obvious.—Nelville’s Victorian Novelists “A first-class resort for gentlemen.” THE NEWPORT SALOON The only colored saloon in Denver. | Newly opened with all accomodations. | 1845 Arapahoe Street Tom Lewis, Mgr.

Italy is a country noted for its unsanitary condition, and yet we find the infantile mortality 66 per cent. less than in our own country, and there, too, tuberculosis is seldom found. Italy is decidedly a goat country, and there the feeding bottle is scarcely heard of. It is not an uncommon sight there to see an infant or small child drawing its dinner straight from the little goat which has been brought on to the steps or into the house for the purpose. Good to Look At. A girl with magnificent red-brown hair looked delightful in a rough, dark serge with a copper colored suede cap perched on her beautiful hair and two copper buckles at her waist and copper colored kid shoes and stockings. These shoes, it may be remarked, are made in the most practical shades and kids, and can be cleaned with preparations specially made for them, and the colored stockings are everywhere to be had of suitable warmth. Japan's Ir Coinage. In Japan an iron coinage, begun about 1636, has existed up to the present day. A curious coin made of a mixture of silver and copper was long in use in Japan. It varied in size from a small pea to a large bean. Lead coins were also used there for five centuries. Glass was employed as a substance for coin for many centuries in Egypt, while wooden money is mentioned in many of the Buddhistic writings. World's Wine Production. The Feuille Vinicole of France estimates the world's wine production in 1905 at 3,775,060,000 gallons. Europe furnished more than 95 per cent of the total, and North and South America about 4 per cent. France holds first place among the wine producing nations; the United States ranks twelfth. You Can Now See Plants Grow. It is now possible to hear and see plants grow.

Best Infants' Food. Hoffman says: "Goats' milk more nearly resembles mother's milk than cows' when it comes to infant feeding." He also states that in Germany many children take the milk direct from the udder, "as the kid does, and thus escape any chance of milk infection." Observed By Uncle David.

When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qualities, all lengths, and all conditions of hair, even to the growing of hair on bald places of the head, many persons scorned the idea that such a thing was possible; but we have grown the hair for hundreds, rapidly achieving success. The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that "theirs is the same" or "just as good") or referred to "PORO."

FORD'S HAIR POMADE Formerly known as "OZONIZED OX MARROW" So STRAIGHTENS KINKY or CURLY HAIR that it can be put up in any style desired consistent with its length. Ford's Hair Pomade was formerly known as "OZONIZED OX MARROW" and is the only safe preparation known to us that makes kinky or curly hair straight, as shown above. Its use makes the most stubborn, harsh, kinky or curly hair soft, pliable and easy to comb. These results may be obtained from one treatment; 2 to 4 bottles are usually sufficient for a year. The use of Ford's Hair Pomade removes and prevents dandruff, relieves itching, invigorates the scalp, stops the hair from falling out or breaking off, makes it grow and, by nourishing the roots, gives it new life and vigor. Being elegantly perfumed and harmless, it is a toilet necessity for ladies, gentlemen and children. Ford's Hair Pomade has been made and sold continuously since about 1888, and label, "OZONIZED OX MARROW," was registered in the United States Patent Office, in 1874. Be sure to get Ford's as it uses makes the hair STRAIGHT, SOFT and PLIABLE. Beware of limitations. Remember that Ford's Hair Pomade is properly in 50 cft. size, and is made only in Chicago and by us. The genuine has the signature, Charles Ford, Prest. on each package. Refuse all others. Full directions with every bottle. Price only 50 cts. Sold by druggists and dealers. If your druggist or dealer can not supply you, he can get it for you from his jobber or wholesale dealer or send us 50 cts. for one bottle postpaid, or $1.40 for three bottles or $2.50 for six bottles, express paid. We pay postage and express charges to all points in U. S. A. When ordering send postal or express money order, and mention name of this paper. Write your name and address plainly to The Ozonized Ox Marrow Co. (None genuine without my signature) Charles Ford Press 153 E. KINZIE ST., CHICAGO, IL.

The Freemen Mining, Milling and Development Company of Colorado Springs, which has its offices in Room 1, McIntyre-Barnett block, and of which F. M. Roberts is secretary has the wonderful record of having disposed of the whole of the first block of shares which were put on the market at 5 cents. 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. This is a good company for the investor to keep watch on and a better one to put his money in. BOUGHT AND SOLD-Second hand clothing by Mrs. Laura Hill, at 1742 Glenarm street.

Senator Carsey Morris of Sedgwick and Senator Ray Clark of Harper's Ferry will be the leaders. The gentleman who called Thursday at Mrs. Martin's, on South Fourteenth, near West. Third avenue, inquiring for his sister, will please call again and leave his address. MISS ANNA MOSS Pleased with Mission Work. A prominent leader in the British parliament, R. W. Perks, stated recently that in order to test the efficacy of foreign mission work he placed a report of 20 years ago side by side with one of the present time and compared the figures. As a result of his study he increased his annual gift for this work from $50 to $2,500. Woman Expert Trunk Packer. A singular occupation is that of Miss Blanche Minton, of New York. She packs trunks for guests at hotels. The idea came to her as an inspiration and the first day she tried it she made $17. She often earns as much as $25 a day and has had to take in her younger sister as an assistant. Not on the Programme. An untoward incident occurred during the third act of "Fedora" at Covent Garden, London. The heroine and her lover were singing in the garden when the latter (Signor Zenatello), in walking backward, fell into a rocking chair. This turned over and the lover performed a somersault. Still Have an Outlook. A fashion writer announces that tiaras will be worn by ladies in the theaters next season. Well, even when general prosperity prevails, few ladies are likely to be able to afford tiaras that will seriously obstruct the view from behind them. Fame. "There's three ways," observed the philosopher on the cracker barrel, "for a man to hand his name down to posterity. He's got to be a great warrior, or a great statesman, or a great rascal; and, by jocks, once in awhile there's a man that's all three!" Chili Employs Angling Expert. To teach Chilean boys how to fish with line or net, Mr. Peter Smith, a young fisherman, of Buckle, Scotland, has been appointed by the Chilian government for a period of three years. Reward of Duty. At the end of life's brief day we shall be rewarded, not according to the work we have done, but to the faithfulness with which we have been endeavoring to do our duty in whatever sphere.—Rev. F. B. Meyer. Confidence. "A woman may feel confident that her heart is in the right place," remarked the Observer of Events and Things, "but she never seems to have the same confidence in her hat." Temperamental Differences. A man will spend a lifetime quarreling with his own heart, whereas a woman can never believe that her heart might be in the wrong.—John Oliver Hobbes (Mrs. Craigie).

In the evening welcome addresses were made to the delegates, they in turn responding. The third day was devoted to various papers and resolutions and in the afternoon were escorted about the city over trolley lines and entertained in a general way, with Rev. W. T. Osbourne and wife in the lead. After the rides over Helena the beautiful, Madam Lee entertained all the delegates present at an elaborate luncheon Mrs. Hall in the evening also gave a party in their behalf. Miss Lottie Richerson gave a luncheon at the residence of Mrs. Nappers for them. Thus born in Great Falls, rocked in the cradle at Helena, we the people of Montana, hope to see it live and grow to be a strong institution. All departed for their respective homes on Saturday, feeling that much good had been accomplished and with new resolution to be up and doing, as never before. The next session will be held at Anaconda. We again thank the citizens of Helena for their cordiality. CANON CITY. COLO. Miss Ocie Walton is on the sick list. Mrs. Maude Johnson is indisposed.

Nashville, Tenn., May 10.—The National Baptist Convention, located in is under the direct control of the National Baptist Publishing Board, which this city, will have a special exhibit at the Jamestown Exposition. This institution is the largest printing plant and book-binding establishment owned and operated by Negroes in the world. They now occupy six buildings, as follows: three two-story, four two-story, and two one-story buildings, situated at the corner of Locust and Second avenue, North. They employ several hundred skilled workmen, and can produce everything in the printing line, from a calling card to an encyclopedia. The founder of this institution, Rev. R. H. Boyd, D. D., LL. D., who is at present secretary, treasurer and manager, will be at the exposition grounds in Norfolk this week to arrange for the big exhibit.

But nothing in his career has justified such sweeping denunciation and scorn as this exchange is guilty of. And if there was something to what purpose should we deliberately offend him, by saying “Own up your hypocracy?” Too well do we know that his word was sufficient to convince a majority of white people of the guilt of the sol- diers and mountains of evidence to the contrary have noi effaced the im- pression. Such is the high standing of this statesman. Many Negroes who pass over the injuries done to Jews and Chinese with indifference, want every white man in this country to weep when one of us suffers unjustly. They for- get that we are entitled to only a smal] part of a president's time and that Roosevelt has gone further than any predecessor in urging a square deal for us. Give him the credit that is due him when compared with Ben- jamin Harrison, with McKinley or any of the men similarly placed who have held the public eye for the last thirty years. The Sumners are dead. We are no longer an issue to divide a na- tion. Our destiny is to be worked out by ourselves, amid many unjust but chastening surroundings. Wild romonstrances are not a pennyweight when welghed against the least bit of constructive endeavor, The wise men of the South, the statesmen of the North are waking up to the fact that the race problem is a white man’s problem. Let us win their sincere sympathy and re spect by the manliness with which we bear the burdens that are placed upon us, pressing on to the goal which will surely reward us when chastened by affilction, we will have stripped off the weaknessés that came to us in slavery and Bave won our spurs ir Why help pay big irent?

Let us “smile and push.” Reverting to tae theme of Roosevelt, we count it a pleasant task to sing his praises amid the din of aspersions from Negroes. Whatever may be said ‘now of him, he at least has the credit for having spoken out for us years ago and given the impetus to the pro-Ne- gro movement that now embraces men in all sections of the country and in all walks of life. Even here in our own city this week the Methodist con- ference spoke encouragingly of us and of the situation. No president venee him in recent years has done so much by precept and example to accord to us equality of opportunity. we No one mistake such as the soldier incident can justly rob him of the sincere thanks of an oppressed people for real constructive work. So it is that we must cling close to our friends and placate our enemies, but more than all, do whatever comes to our hands to dQ to the best of our ability.

Miss Elsie Von Dickershon has been absent from the practices owing to the illness of her father. The Choral Society has been greatly flattered because of their successful rendition of "Inflammatus" at Payne's chapel. The Azalia Hackley Choral Society is making rapid progress with Mrs. J. H. P. Westbrook as pianist. The contralto "Belshazzar" is now being thoroughly practiced. Owing to the absence of Dr. J. A. Harper from the city soon, Mr. Tasker was assigned the part of Belshazzar. Miss Martha Jeter has been granted an indefinite leave of absence by the society. Some of the members are talking about another social for the club. CHURCH OF THE REDEEMER.
