FRANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN Zion CHURCH 40 Annual Picnic CRYSTAL LAKE July 18 THE ALLIANCE ELECTION EIGHTEENTH YEAR. Zion 40 THE ALLI Sunday afternoon, as usual, the Alliance met and the election of officers occurred. Much interest was evidenced by the various workers of the many candidates. The meeting developed much spirit and enthusiasm and resulted in electing the following officers by acclamation: President, A. J. Lewis; vice president, A. G. Fallings; second and third vice presidents, Revs. C. D. Douglass and W. W. S. Dyett; secretary, Mrs. Isabelle Steward; assistant secretary, Atty. G. G. Ross; treasurer, T. J. Riley, and sergeants-at-arms, Messrs. S. Tarbet and J. J. Manuel. The board of directors is Mrs. Travick, C. S. Muse, A. L. Davis, C. W. Buford, A. J. Fitzpatrick, C. A. Clark and B. P. Johnson. The retiring officers informally relinquished their seats to the incoming administration with the greatest good feeling for their success and silently pledged their co-operation to help make it grander than ever before. The past administration has been one of the best in the way of decorum in the history of the society as known to the writer. Being in the summer time, the numbers have not been so much in evidence as formerly, but what the Alliance has lacked in numbers it has made up in enthusiasm and life. Much credit is justly given to the out-going president and his administration. His rulings have been conscientious, fair and his suggestions have proved to be valuable at times. He had many problems to ```markdown ``` DENVER, COLO., FRIDAY JULY 12. 1907. solve, many sides and factions to appease for the protection of the Alliance, yet being only a human being he did nobly. Especially did he show tact and foresight in not wanting the Alliance to adjourn during the summer months, because some of its members were tired and overworked and thus embarrass the incoming administration besides inviting the odium of the faithful for a scheme to disorganize the body. The out-going administration justly merits all the good that has been said about it. We drop this hint to the in-coming administration—the revival of the discussions of popular questions, the securing of the talented ladies and gentlemen, local and foreign to assist in our programs, and thus instill more new life in the organization. SAW 'EM IN FRISCO. Prof. Rankford Holley writes that he has met several of the old Colorado Springs and Denver boys and girls in California. Miss Cora Anderson has married and has a lovely home. Mrs. Viola Phillips De Claybrooke, wife of Will De Claybrooke, is doing well; they ask especially to be remembered to their many Colorado friends. Henri Herriford, so well known in Colorado Springs as a lady's man, is in Chicko, Calif., where he will be married soon. He is doing fine. He will be in Golden, Colo., the latter part of July and then will be in Denver with his aeredome in about two months. Already part of his former orchestra has planned to give him a royal reception in Golden. TO CRUCIFY WAGE EARNERS (From the Press Bureau.) Boise, Idaho, is now the scene of one of the most famous trials in the history of our country. It is not merely a murder trial of Haywod for the murder of the governor of the state, but it is a trial of the very government under which we live. Some of the causes leading up to the trial are these: The miners of that section, feeling that they were imposed upon, and in order to thwart the opposition, organized the Western Federation of Miners Association. When the organization was first started it did not have an immediate view to political activities; they thought only of promoting their private interests along other lines. They soon realized that the only way by which they could gain any real reforms or better their own conditions was by intelligent use of the ballot. They would only vote for and elect those men who would provide that they should have better hours of labor and better wages. They elected their men, but when the test came the mine owners and smelter owners bought up the legislature and the Republican form of government brought them nothing. Foiled again and again in this way, the ordered a strike. It was not a mild strike; it was dangerous, lawless in many ways. But the officers of the law who were sent to the scene did not do their duty; they connived at the actions of the mob spirit which was shown from time to time by the strikers. Soldiers were then sent to FIVE CENTS A COPY July 18 FY EARNERS the scene of the strike to keep order, and they were rough with the miners. The miners had tried law, according to our system and had failed. They could not appeal to the governor or the legislature or the courts, they were in the clutches of the wealth of the section. Only one course was left open for them-anarchy. They tried anarchy to which they had been forced, and the result is what the story of Harry Orchard has disclosed in the trial of William D. Haywood. William D. Haywood may be guilty, we do not know; but, if he is, the larger question of responsibility is the cause and not the mere overt act of murder as charged. The real trouble lies in the corruption which pervades our life and system. Sovereignty of citizenship is ignored completely, and until justice is done at the polls, anarchy will reign. Haywood, Moyer and Pettibone may go to the gallows, but the bombs will still fly unless justice is done and the ballot guarded as it should be. Out of this famous case in the west grows a lesson for another section of our country. All of the southern states practice a far more revolting tyranny upon the colored people of the south than was ever practised upon the miers of the west. The colored people are denied the ballot by force, fraud and murder, the newspapers are closed to them, thousands upon thousands of them are in involuntary servitude, and there seems for (Continued on page 2) PAGE 12. TRINIDAD NOTES. Mrs. Kate McGrudder of Los Angeles, Cal., in company with her two sons, were visitors in town last week. They were en route for points in Missouri. While here they were entertained by Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Booker. The U. B. F.'s gave an all-day entertainment and ball in Packers' hall, July 4th. The entertainment was a success and showed just what the U. B. F.'s can do. Mr. Frank Yeiser of Canon City is here for an indefinite stay. He has excepted a position with Eli Green. A jolly crowd of people led by Mr. Jack Patton held a picnic near Segundo, July 4th. Those making up the party were: Mr. and Mrs. Patton, Mrs. and Miss L. Gorth, Miss N. Patton, Miss N. Harrison, Miss I. Scott and R. Handy. Mrs. Patton is quite ill at this writing. Mr. L. F. McCrae of Denver was in the city Monday shaking hands with old friends. While here he was the guest of J. H. Booker. A pleasant outing was enjoyed by Mr. and Mrs. and Miss W. Gorth, Mr. and Mrs. Booker, Mr. and Mrs. Jordan and R. Handy at Central park Sunday. Mr. J. C. Brooks is very ill with appendicitis. The young men of the congregation are making plans to present the church with a new Bible soon. There are about 200 colored people who live in Trinidad permanently. After a careful estimate it has been found that these people hold real estate worth $45,000—$225 per capita. Of course we have some worthless people here, but they are very few. The Central Park Amusement Co. featured Prof. Frazier's baloon ascension this week. Prof. Frazier is a negro and received much praise from the local papers. A movement has been started by the energetic people of this city to form a union similar to the Sunday Alliance of Denver. They were to have held their first meeting last Sunday, but some less strong than the others were afraid it would interfere with other plans. What the negro needs is concentrated effort in a direction for good. The half-hearted ones must be brushed aside. We have no time for them. It is hoped that an organization will soon be effected. R.

Miss Violia Spalding of Havre was the guest of Misses Grace and Mattie Robinson. MAKING CANES TO ORDER. Fashions Change in This as in All Things Else. "Fashions change in canes, as they do in everything else," said a manufacturer who knows all about the fashionable trade. "Last year our customers were calling for rough wood in its natural state, without any ornamentation. They wanted canes made almost as thin and as light as whangees. So many cheap imitations had been made of silver-mounted smoothwood canes that men of fashion would not look at them. This year we are returning to silver mounts, but in designs made to order that it will be almost out of the question for importers of cheap German silver to imitate. In umbrellas the large handles of rough wood still hold favor with the men. It is no longer fashionable to decorate them with initials. A man likes an umbrella that he can pick out at sight from a bunch of others at his club or elsewhere. Some men will have the crooked handle so that they can hang their umbrellas on a hook in a hat rack, and we have to manufacture a few of them to meet the demands of the trade. Women always go in for something odd, and usually expensive." Hello Bill!

Assuming his moss pompous tone, the magistrate thus addressed him: “Prisoner at the bar!

Remember that the eyes of an all-seeing providence and of the village constable are upon you.” Not Matured. “What are you King so gloomy about?” “Oh, I'm just home from the race track.” “Why, you told me before you went Gown there that you had picked sure winner.” “Yes, but—l—er—guess | picked ‘Xim before he was ripe.” The Jealous Wife “I don't see why she isn't happy with him.

World WATER A VITAL NECESSITY. Eepecialiy important During Periods ef Great Muscular Activity. Bvery instant of our lives, a certain amount of water is given out through the pores of our skin, by means of perepiration—also through the iungs. ‘tee kidneys, or by other organs. This Joss, constantly going on, must be re placed by fresh supplies taken int¢ the stomach. Water hae, indeed, a very important place in our animal economy. When fe supply runs low, the voice of na tare is quickly heard, and its name is fret. This sensation will impel men to brave almost any danger or under- @ almost any plan to satisfy it. It ts, ff (t goes very far, accompanied by a rapid lowering of musclar strength end energy, until exertion becomes al mast impossible; but on a fresh sup pay of water being taken, an extraor @mary) change takes place, and e&rength and muscular vigor are at emo restored An abundant supply of water is, @erefore, especially a matter of most urgent necessity during great mus ea@lar activity—either by man or beast.—Will Carleton’s Magazine. Office Greater Than the Man. @ace when Gov. Douglas occupied the executive chambers on Beacon hill he went to Provincetown for a week- end visit, says the Boston Herald Gaturday afternoon the deacons of tha Methodist church learned that he was to attend that place of worship, and hung a glaring poster to that ef- fect on the outer walls. The next day the church was packed, and as the chief executive of the common- wealth entered everybody arose and stood in respectful silence until he was seated. The next year he was again a visit- or to the Cape town, and attended the same church. Only half of the seats were occupied when he came in, and mot a soul stood up. “It's the office rather than the man that receives at- tention in Provincetown,” said = Mr. Douglas to a friend after the services, As Re Was Tela “What wea Se cause of that awful racket and disturbance im your office just before you came this morning?” asked one lawyer of saother. “You know thet pourg farmer's son who came yesterday to begin the study of law with me?” said the man addressed. “Yes.” “Well, I thought he might as well begin at the bottom of tbe ladder, and I told bim that when @ srrived this morning the first thiag fey him to do would be to clear out the office. He found there hat? a dozen people wait- ing to see me on business, and he bundled out the lot!” American Congregations Rebuked. The Cemtral Presbyterian of Rich- mond, Va., says: “The largest church and the largest congregation in con- nection with eur General Assembly are not in America, but on the Congo river in Africa. The membership of our two churches there is over 2.000. The attendance @m gach church is up- ward of 1,000—sometimes 1,500 or more. When a native African from that region attended church services here, with one hundred or two hun- dred present, his remark was: “The people of Ameriag @@ got go to church much.’” Encland’s New Hangman. England's public hangman, Billing- ton, who died lately, is to be suc- eeeded by Alec Taylor, a naval re serve man, who has been recently a railroad employe. He said, on receiv- fag the appointment, that he woul always be glad to hang a statloomas ter without charge. SHREWD SON OF NEW ENGLAND Peddier Used Hypnotism to Victimize Hie Customers. Twenty years ago there were few People in Worcester county who had mot made the acquaintance of Ebenez- er Handy of Millbury, a vender of fish, fruits and vegetables, and occasionally displaying the red flag of an auction- eer. He was a poet in a small but original way, and must have had some knowledge of hypnotism, which was little heard of in those days. While in the act of selling his wares he would keep up such a running fire of words that many of bids patrons lost their heads, and in some cases peid him more money than was their in- tention. This is one example of his methods In Millbury one day he sold a wom @n six pounds of fish at 6 cents a Pound, and a bunch of radiskes for 5 cents. The woman stood with her purse in hand ready to foot the bill, and as the goods were passed over Handy rattled off this: “Six times six {s 96, and five Is 101. Live and let live is my motto; call {t a dollar.” The woman was educated, and knew the value of money, but she did not know the mysterious ways of Ebenez- er Handy, and she paid $1, thinking be had kindly thrown off the odd cent -Boston Herald In Sembiance at Least.

Hamilton county doesn't propose to be bunkoed any longer. For years it has paid a bounty on coyote scalps. Adjoining counties never paid a bounty, and hunters for a hundred miles around would take their coyote scalps to Hamilton and get bounty. Hamilton has got tired of furnishing "incentive" for the destruction of coyotes and has rescinded the scalp bounty order.—Kansas City Journal. Cards Were Out.

Jaggsby (reading)—This paper says that alcohol will remove grass stains from linen. Mrs. Jaggsby—Well, you can't use hat as an excuse. Your stomach isn't made of linen, neither has any grass stains on it. Kaiser Likes Plebian Dish. A German paper says the kaiser is exceedingly fond of fresh vegetables and that his favorite dish is the British workingman's steak and onions, though cooked in the German fashion. With this savory concotion he prefers mashed potatoes. Gets News Second Hand. Tolstoy has given up reading the newspapers, but his friends tell him the news. He spends much time roaming in the woods An Interview With Kruger. Poultney Bigelow attempted on one occasion to interview "Oom Paul" Kruger and met with about the same fate that many interviewers have had with the former president of the Boers. He found the old man in a very bad humor and could get only monosyllables in reply to his questions. He employed every art of the interviewer, but to no avail. Finally, despairing of getting any information of use to him by straight questioning, he determined to be diplomatic and approach Mr. Kruger from his family side. So he asked, very nenchalantly: "Is your wife entertaining this season?" Short and sharp came the gruff answer: "Not very." And the interview closed there— ew York Times. Rejected Candidates. It is reported that at a recent examination of candidates for admission to the naval academy at Annapolis only eleven out of twenty-five were found sufficiently sound physically to be admitted. The whole twenty-five passed the mental examination, but fourteen of them were unable to present the necessary physical requirements. This fact is a fair index of the rate at which the physical decadence of the American people in progressing. Insanity, idiocy and epilepsy are all increasing at a very rapid rate-three hundred per cent within the past thirty years. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Light on Planets. If Mars and Saturn reflected the same proportion of the light which falls upon their surfaces the smaller and much nearer planet would look three times as bright as the much more distant and much larger Saturn. As a matter of fact there is no great difference between the two. It is inferred from this fact that the visible surface of land and water would reflect so much light as that planet gives. Coin Not Mentioned In Scriptures. Throughout the early part of the scriptures, as well as through the poems of Homer, not a single passage occurs from which we can infer either the use of the existence of stamped money—the 400 shekels which Abraham gave for the cave of Machpaelah, for instance, were measured by weight. It is now agreed that the Egyptians had no colined money. Danger in Amusements. The habit of dissipating every serious thought by a succession of agreeable sensations is as fatal to happiness as to virtue; for when amusement is uniformly substituted for objects of moral and mental interest, we lose all that elevates our enjoyments above the scale of childish pleasures.—Anna Maria Porter. Thickness of Human Skin. The skin of the men and women of some nations is much thicker than that of others, particularly in hot countries. The Central African negro has a skin about half as thick again as that of a European. That of a negro is thickest over the head and back—evidently to form a protection from the sun. Birds Practice Surgery. From time to time birds have been discovered with broken limbs, which have apparently been bound up and set artificially. It has been suggested that this has been done by the birds themselves. Wild geese have sometimes been shot having previous shot wounds stuffed with sea-grass. E. V.

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 1858, and label, "OZONIZED OX MARROW," was registered in the United States, Patent Office, in 1874. Be sure to get Ford's as its use makes the hair STRAIGHT, SOFT and PLIABLE. Beware of imitations. Remember that Ford's Hair Pomade is put up only in 50 ct. size, and is made only in Chicago and by us. The genuine has the signature, Charles Ford, Prest, on each package. Refuse all others. Full directions with every bottle. Price only 50 cts. Sold by drummists and dealers. If your drummist 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.

A good story is told at the expense of a Wall street man, who once suddenly evinced a great interest in nautical matters, and who in some manner, despite his inexperience in this regard, was made the commodore of a yacht club in Maine, where the financier spends a short vacation each summer. One day, it is said, the newly fledged yachtman shouted to an officer of a certain craft: "Have you weighed anchor?" "Yes, sir." "Then," thundered the new commodo, "why the deuce don't you announce the weight?" Designated. Some friends living luxiously in a Stanford White house in Connecticut, an elaborately appointed and well-servanted menage, suddenly became affected with the vegetarian fad. One evening, when the dinner hour came, their solemn and unhappy English butler, having seen that the malted wheat flakes and shredded cornmeal and the graham sticks were on the sideboard, came to the door of the drawing room and solemnly said, "Madam, it is served."—Life.

In the south they even refuse not only the ballot, but the school to the children of color; they murder innocent men, women and children without judge or jury; they make them labor without reward, jim-crow them, and day by day heap indignity after indignity upon them, making it almost a crime for a man to hold up his head and aspire. Conditions grow gorse. In the breast of every white man of the leading powers of the south there slumbers a tiger, which but needs to be aroused to spread terror. What is the natural outcome of such oppression and wrong? Law no longer obtains, and sooner or later a storm of anarchy will sweep over the section that will shake it to its very foundations. In the state of Alabama a vagrancy law has recently been passed which reverses the rule of the common law which declares that a man is innocent until proven guilty and requires all persons accused of vagrancy to show that they are not vagrants or else go to the chain gang or be sold into peonage, slavery, to some contractor. This is made for colored people. In the wake of such a condition anarchy will follow as the night the day. The south is hastening this period, which would come anyway. It is now sending to Europe for immigrants, and it is getting the lowest types. Each one of these carries his glittering stilletto and the ingredients of his bomb, and when tyranny oppresses he will use it. He will teach the Negro of the south to use it, then will come the realization of justice through the mists of blood and tears. Where are the Rutledges, the Pinkeys, the Sumters, the Marions, the Masons, the aristocrats of the south? When will they come again to the throne of power and lead the section they love so well to safety? FORAKER'S SPEECH. Senator Foraker's speech at the Wilberforce Commencement was one of the kind that men used to make in days gone by, in days when great principles were greater than policies. He is truly the "Noblest Roman of them all." A GREAT SPEECH. The speech delivered at the commencement of the Yale law school was a clear enunciation of the powers of the state and federal governments by a senator who speaks with authority and power, and who commands respect, not only because he has a great THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORAD. mind, but because at this time he is a candidate for the presidency of the United States. Philander Chas. Knox is the man. Watch him. A TEACHER-PREACHER. We do not believe that our great institutions can thrive with teacher-preachers at the head of the various departments. This is true whether the institution be Harvard, Yale or Howard. A man cannot be a preacher and a teacher at one and the same time. Dr., think it over. AN O. K. DEAN. Kelley Miller ought to be made the dean of the college department of Howard University and Richard T. Greener should be made a member of the college faculty. This does not mean to reflect upon the machine that is being built up out of Gammon material. IT WAS BEN SHE. A graduate of Tuskegee Institute went into one of our large book stores a few days ago and asked for a copy of Ben She, meaning Ben Hur, the story of the Christ by General Lew Wallace. We would advise such graduates to get someone to buy their books for them. ONLY IMAGINATION. Some bigot has essayed to insult the alumni of Howard University by saying that Dean Fairfield leaves the university at the beginning of the revival of learning—(The Renaissance). Upon what this is based does not appear, unless it proceed from some mental condition produced by low cunning. It is an effort to say that Dr. Thirkield is going to spread the light over the nations of the earth after the "Dark Age." That this assumption is both false and violent appears on its face. It is like the source from which it proceeds in that it always, Iago-like, murders when pretending to befriend; murders not the body, but crushed the spirit, assissinates the character of the worthy. Such is the method of the "unworthy." BOOKER T. IS IT. T. Thomas Fortune no longer has a controlling interest in the New York Age. Booker T. Washington, et al., control it. Here is a picture of what whiskey, debt and the hollow-eyed spectre of poverty can do. May God pity them. Old and alone, principles stifled, health gone, slavery where freedom was once enshrined, moving now at the dictates and lashes of a master. SHAME! SHAME! PITY!

A musical was given by the pupils of Miss Eva Virginia Johnson, Monday evening, June 24th. The ages of the pupils ranged from six to nine years and every number rendered by the pupils was a gem. Those participating upon the program were Gertrude Branham, Ruth Braxton, Franklin Branham, Clara Lumpkins, Harriet White, Edith Merriwether, Effie Boswell, Maude Adams, Maud Matthews and Deborah E. Johnson. Miss Johnson is a teacher in the public schools, is a musician of rare accomplishment and charm, and embodies all those higher elements of refinement and grace which it is so helpful for children to receive from her. Indeed a child would be blessed to have her association, if he should not get that which is so perfectly given—music. Miss Johnson has our heartiest congratulations and wishes for continued success. SHOULD NOT BE OVERLOOKED. Col. Perry H. Carson is one of the figures in this country who should not be overlooked when we are contemplating men who have rendered great service to the race. Many years ago it was unsafe for colored women to walk the streets alone here, because of white toughs. Col. Carson realizing the needs organized a band of colored men and with clubs and guns rid the city of these toughs and made it possible for men and women to go along the streets in safety. How much the grand old man has done in other ways we are going to chronicle at some other time. He has done his part. THE NORTHWESTERN NEGRO.

Japanese newspaper prints this on the authority of Admiral Kaura: "In the early Meiji days great Saigo—Saigo Takamori—attended three lads whom he sent to stay at the naval college in Tokyo; these three lads were Yamamoto,ogo and Kamimura. Yamamoto is now Admiral Baron Yamamoto, minister of marine, and as for Togo and Kamimura, their names alone need be mentioned. The three youths applied themselves diligently to study, but in 1875 very disquieting news reached them—that their patron Saigo had severed his relations with the government and that a serious collision appeared inevitable. They then took counsel together. It seemed impossible for them, though mere lads, to remain quietly at their studies while such a crisis pended. If Saigo were in the right, then their plain duty was to range themselves on his side and fall or triumph with him. If he were in the wrong, then they would be under no lesser obligation to advise him by sacrificing their lives according to the traditional custom of loyal samurai. Hence it seemed to them that they had no choice but to hasten to Kagoshima and place themselves in direct communication with their patron. "They made their escape from the naval college at night and succeeded in reaching Osaka. There they found their slender stock of money already exhausted, and without fresh supply it would be impossible to proceed. Their only hope lay in a frank appeal to Godal Tomoatsu, the famous samurai merchant of Osaka. To him they unbovomed themselves and asked for aid. He refused to assist them in any way. That evening as they sat sadly in their inn debating their sad position, the door was suddenly drawn partly open and a man's hand threw in a parcel. It contained a sheaf of banknotes. Godal chose this clandestine method of succoring them; prudence had dictated his curt refusal, but his sympathies were with the lads. Their difficulties were now solved. Taking passage in a little coasting steamer they reached Kagoshima and repaired to the residence of Salgo. "He rated them in the strongest terms. 'I selected you as promising students,' he said, 'and sent you to the naval college, not with any selfish purpose of mine nor yet for your own sakes, but because the day will inevitably come when Japan must measure her strength with Russia and it is incumbent on every true Japanese to prepare vigorously for that crisis. In the naval college you had only one duty to perform—the duty of applying yourselves earnestly to your tasks and equipping yourselves to serve your country in her time of need. You have absconded from the college in obedience to your own imaginings, thus betraying the trust I reposed in you and forgetting your duty as students. Return at once, and henceforward, whatever may happen, even though mountains crumble and rivers run backward, let nothing induce you to turn from the path of serving Japan with all your right."

The Colorado Negro Business League will hold its third annual convention in the city of Colorado Springs, August 20 and 21, 1907. The local league, under the leadership of President F. M. Roberts, is sparing no time nor means to make the state convention a howling success and to extend a right royal welcome to the delegates and visitors. Among the members of the National League who have already accepted our invitation to be present and address the convention are: Hon. Isaiah T. Montgomery and Hon. Charles Banks, citizens of the famous Negro town, Mound Bayou, Miss. The first session of the state league will convene Tuesday morning, August 20th, at 10 o'clock, in the new and commodious pavilion at Stratton park. Welcome addresses will be made by Mayor David N. Heizer, Mr. T. J. Fisher, president chamber of commerce; Mrs. K. D. Tillman, on behalf of the City Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, and Prof. John H. Jackson, one-half of the Local Business League. Responses will be made by delegates and visitors to be named. In the afternoon refreshments will be served and the visitors will have an opportunity to visit the points of interest in the canons. Promptly at 8 o'clock p. m. the second session will be called to order and will be addressed by Judge James A. Orr of Colorado Springs, and Hon.

The regular program will soon be issued, in the meantime, the officers will gladly welcome any helpful suggestions. It is hoped that each local league will begin to hold weekly meetings for the purpose of interesting their members to attend the convention, also to elect delegates and collect the annual state dues, which was requested by the last convention, held in Pueblo. We also invite every Negro organization in Colorado, whether religious, secret or social to send a representative to join heartily with us in building up and maintaining a stronger, higher and nobler commercial, civic, social and moral life that we may be able to write in the archives of this commonwealth an honorable place along with the other great people that compose our composit citizenship. A rate of one fare for the round trip will lbe granted on all roads in the state, Tuesday, August 20th, return limited to ten days. President, Denver, Colo. EUGENE P.

When Mrs. Martha Jones, who was a schoolmate of Mrs. Martha Wright, appeared last Friday night at the residence of Mrs. Martha Boone on Broadway, the invited guests seemed to cast aside all signs of coldness and enter into the spirit of the occasion. One can imagine how those American beauties tastefully placed around the rooms in jardiniers in such position as to give those flowers a chance to most effectually pour forth their fragrance until the house was staurated with their doriferous sweet smell. The ladies were gowned in their light and delicate summer costumes, which beneath the many electric lights made an enchanting scene. Cards were indulged in and many other games proved enjoyable. "Pudding head Peanut," a late Eastern game, proved to be a very laughable and amusing entertainment. Light refreshments and reluctant adios soon followed. Everyone thanked Mrs. Wright for her unique affair. Charles West is on the streets again with his new automobile done in red. He made a big success last year and is starting out early this season catering to all classes of transportation for passengers in automobiles. Service by the hour or by the trip. A FORECAST VERIFIED. About six months since we chronicle the incorporation of another insurance concern paying sick and accident benefits. The promoter was Mr. Chas. A. Love, formerly with the Commonwealth Life. The name of the new concern was the Empire State Life Association. Finding the competition so hard that it was impossible to build up a business they sold out last week and transferred their members to another company. None of the members lose by this, but they do not know what kind of treatment they will receive from the new company. Not many of our people were in this concern, as most of them carry in the Commonwealth Life. It would seem to us that we should learn from this not to go into a new concern, but cling fast to the one which has been proven to be fair and above board—the Commonwealth Life. They have been here a long time and have certainly shown what they are—the best sick and accident concern in the West. Keep off of the date, July 25th, the U. B. of F. and S. M. T. picnic. Pythias Lodge No. 11 will run an excursion to Crystal Lake on Labor Day. New England dinner, fried chicken, ice cream and cake, and soda prep at Crystal Lake, July 18.

He was as inquisitive as a minister with a new church and endeavored to make acquaintance of everybody on the train bound for Saratoga. Finally he butted against one of the yanagans and inserted the probe. "Oh, I'm a friend of Canfield," said the victim. "Yale man: M. A. Dick is from Harvard, also M. A." "Ah!

The Negro Business Men's League and the Niagara movement is about to meet in their respective conventions and make their annual reports and addresses to the country. One meets in the West, Topeka, Kans., while the other meets in the extreme East in Boston, Mass. One has as its president Booker T. Washington, while the other has as its head W. E. B. Du Bois as secretary. The one has been a considerate, continuous and silent organization on all public questions vital to the Negro, while the other has been nationally active, outspoken and fruitful in rights reclaiming and stimulation in race consciousness along all lines. The one believes in a manhood that can stoop to produce results now, but that may work up to a full degree along the line of least resistance at a future time; while the other stands and fights for universal manhood, untrammeled and unfettered now and forever. No doubt but that the Brownsville matter will play a part, either silent or active, in both of these august bodies. The personnel of one consisting of business men, politicians, office holders, professional and literary men. The personnel of the other consists mainly of scholars, agitators, politicians and professional men. If the personnel of one organization were as free from educational bias and entangling political alliances in their work as an ordinary alert individual, more confidence could be placed in them as individuals. The extreme West will look on both bodies with the greatest confidence and wait in patience to see just how they will act. Their ends are the same, but methods as different as their meeting places are in the extremes of distance. It is to be hoped that the world will be the better and wiser because of these meetings and that truth opened up and shown and not concealed or coated over will make us free indeed. PAGE 8.

"How far is it to Somerville?" asked the newspaper photographer. "Nigh on to six miles," replied the village shoemaker, looking up from his last. "Can I get somebody here to drive me over?" "I'll do it, if you'll wait till I hitch up." In a few minutes the team was ready, and the cobbler and his passenger were on the way. "Pretty quiet life you lead up here in the hills," observed the photographer. "Yes, pretty quiet—not much doing, like there is down in town. But I manage to make a living." "Shoemaking profitable, is it?" "No, not very. I s'pose I'll average 80 cents a week at that. But I do other things, you see. I carry the papers, and that's good for a dollar twice a week, sure. Then I drive the mall twice a week, and that's another dollar. And I do barbering, too. Some weeks I make $4 clear, but generally not more than three-fifty. We get along somehow, me and my family, and we ain't gone hungry yet. Once in a long while somebody wants to be took over to Somerville, and then's when I strike it rich. Oh, you needn't think I ain't going to soak you!" And he smiled broadly upon the passenger beside him. The photographer remembered that he had less than $5 in his pocket. "How much will you charge me?" he asked. "Well, you work for one of them big, rich metropolitan papers, and I'm going to make you pay as much as—75 cents, by gum!"—Newark News. Dissatisfied Publishers. Two publishers, over their luncheon, were talking about authors' gains. "This little fellow Caine—Hall Caine—is leading the way now," said the first publisher. "He makes over $100,000 a year. First his stories come out simultaneously in American and English and French and German and Australian magazines; then they come out in book form in half a dozen countries; then they are syndicated as serials in thirty or forty newspapers; finally they are turned into melodramas and played." The second publisher ground his teeth. "Conan Doyle has been getting $1 a word," he said. "A dollar a word. 'A' is a word, 'the' is a word. Two dollars to write 'a' and 'the.'

Mr. Rosewater hated pictures that indicated scamped work—so-called {m- pressionistic pictures that were mere ly rough and hurried sketches, and so- called portraits that bore no likeness to thefr originals. A young painter showed Mr. Rose water one day a portrait of a mutual friend. “That a portrait of Smith?” the editor exclaimed. “I'd never have Known it.” “Oh,” the artist explained, “I didn’t try for 4 likeness, you know, I tried for an effect—an effect in grays.” “I know a man in New York,” sald Mr. Rosewater, “who had his portrait painted last year. It cost him $4,000, and he was very proud of it. When it came home, he showed it to his cook “‘Well, Mary,’ he sald, ‘how do you like portrait?’ at sir, sald the cook, it's lovely. It's beautiful. It's divine.’ “*And of course, said my friend, ‘you know who ft is?” “Oh, of course I do, sir,’ said the cook. ‘Of course, of course.’ As she spoke she kept drawing nearer to the picture, studying it more and more closely. ‘Of course, sir,’ she said, ‘it's you or the mistress.” 7 AW. wo SAY!
