TIME ALONE CAN DO IT FRANKLIN'S PAPER EIGHTEENTH YEAR. Elk DRILL TEAM TIME ALONE One of the great problems of the century is that of capital and labor. It is not, as formerly, a battle of the rich against the poor and the poor against the rich, but it is an effort upon the part of each to dominate the other. No one will question the right of capital to organize and concentrate its strength for the advancement of its interests. This done along legitimate lines is necessary in commercial life of to-day. Nor do wise men object to the organization of labor for its protection and the advancement of its own interests. Both organizations are essential. But the tendency of the times is to use capital to the detriment of labor and labor to the detriment of capital and the people as a whole. In the general development of organization of labor, unfortunately, the wisest counsel has not prevailed. Many public men, men who know better than what they do, have carried on a campaign against capital and capitalists with such violence as to convince labor that all men who are rich are bad and seeking to make all laboring men slaves. This unfortunate policy has embittered labor and arrayed it against capital, forced upon its own men hardships in many instances that are almost beyond description. An illustration of the actual workings may be drawn from this experience of a union man of this city. He was a member of the Plumbers' union, the union struck, and immediately his wages stopped, his income --- DENVER, COLO., FRIDAY JULY 19. 1907. from dues from the union were $6.00 per week. His wages while at work were $5.00 and $6.00 per day. He had a large family, and could not live on the $6.00 per week. He went to Baltimore and began work, whereupon his six dollar allowance wac cut off and he was required to pay 25 per cent. of his income into the union. In Baltimore he was only making $2.50 per day, and having to board away from home it was almost impossible for him to live. Now this is a white labor organization which excludes colored men doing this work. Of course capital has its faults and by its cruel machinations many a man loses his fortune, labor is often oppressed and public officials corrupted. Now what can be done to change the situation? First, the election of a president who will be sane and who will promote the general welfare after the manner of a statesman. We cannot hope for peace in this titanic struggle until demagogues are relegated to the rear in politics and state. When we have a real statesman in the White House whose chief mission will not be to array labor against capital and cry I am I and am for the people, conditions will change. Out of this wisdom in the affairs of state will come better conditions for all of the oppressed classes of the American people. We believe that the future safety of the republic itself, at this crucial period in the relations of the great organized powers of country, depends upon the (Continued on page 2) ```markdown ``` RIDAY JULY 19, 1907. BLOOMFIE PARK SHOW YOUR ENTHUSIASM NOW. To The Statesman:— At a meeting of the executive committee of the State Negro Business League, held in this city in the early spring, I had the honor to be selected as Colorado representative to the National Convention to be held in Topeka, August 14, 15 and 16. In order that Colorado might be the more fitly represented and take its high rank among the sister states that will also be represented at this great meeting, it was arranged that a general exhibit be made from the state's various resources, from its agricultural and mining industries especially. The time is now at hand when enthusiastic and definite effort should be put forth. We are desirous that the world know just what we are doing. The Negro is securely placed in nearly all lines of our state's institutions. In behalf of the executive committee I hereby call upon every Negro farmer, every Negro mining company, etc., to at once rally to the efforts of the State League to put Colorado first among the western states by each sending to Topeka splendid exhibits of their products. Already assurances have been given of a neat display from various sections but we want the number to grow. As Colorado has been favored with a place upon the program, I shall exert my best talents to properly present the merits of our resources and interest the gathered hundreds in the possibilities of our rapid development and natural advantages. I hope to speak for the entire state. Let it be remembered that all exhibits will be carefully placed and the transportation charges paid by the State League. I shall ask that such exhibits be sent direct to my address, care the os plaindealer office, Topeka, Kansas, as to reach there not later than Aug- --- State Historian & Nural History Socic MAN FIVE CENTS A COPY LD Aug. ust 12.

They were playing for a side bet of $25. As a whole the game was good and was witnessed by a large crowd. O'Steam, as manager, has gotten together a good bunch of players and they are making a great showing. The team was weakened by the absence of three of its regular men in the persons of Frank Campton, who was ill, Kid Bell and Walter Hargraves, who were out of town. George Williams' good work in the box and the heavy batting of the entire team won for them the game. --- PAGE 10. HAVRE, MONT. Rev. J. H. C. Redd and wife of Great Falls arrived Saturday morning. Mrs. Redd will be with us a while in the interest of the church work. Mrs. Wm. Gailliard, who has been visiting in Quincy, Ill., is expected home this week.

Mrs. Thos. Allsup and Mrs. Silence Jones are on the sick list. Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Elliott have returned from the Falls, where they spent the Fourtn. At last Havre has a church that no one need to be ashamed of. They have succeeded in getting a corner lot and now have as neat a church as any in the state. It has been papered and seated with chairs, and with electric lights, and much credit is due Bro. Wm. Gailliard and a few faithful ones in getting the church in his location. The organ committee, composed of Mrs. Preston, Mrs. Lawson and Mrs. Allsup, have succeeded in putting in an organ. The Literary, with Mr. Lawson as president, is also doing a good work. We again thank the people of Havre who have stood by us in need. GREAT FALLS, MONT. The Rev. J. D. Pettigrew returned from Havre, Mont., and preached to an appreciative audience Monday night.

C.—His reign was the last the shortest and the most wicked of all the Babylonian kings. He lived in that great city, Babylon, the capitol city of the Babylonian Empire, a city of about 2,000,000 and enclosed by a wall 80 feet thick and 300 feet high. He concludes to give a great feast which is to surpass all previous feasts in points of grandeur and revelry, in the celebration of the achievements of his army which has never been defeated, and which at this time is engaged in war with the Medes and Persians (Jews). For this great event he has invited a thousand of his lords, his many wives and concubines. He has also commanded many of the Jews, in derision, whom he holds in the city as slaves, to come and assist in the merry-making, on account of which the Jews are very sad at heart. The night for the feast has arrived. The guests are assembled. The wine is flowing freely and all are making merry except the oppressed and despised Jew. Belshazzar comes down from his throne and calls for the golden vessel robbed from Jewish temple at Jerusalem by his grandfather, Nebucadnezzar, which is regarded as the greatest of crimes. Then the hand-writing on he wall! Now he sees—now the cup falls from his grasp—hushed is the revelry and laughter and song. Now he calls for them agi (interpreters) then for good old Daniel. One event is now crowding fast upon another—now the Persian army storms the city and the proud Babylonian king and all are prisoners. INNS OF OLD ENGLAND. Fruitful and Interesting Fields of Study for Traveler Abroad. Those who learn history from stones, those who travel to read the long account of races and nations in the time-scarred buildings of the past will find in old inns one quality possessed in the same degfee by no other remains of antiquity. They will find broad human nature. Cathedrals will give you the history of the priest, castles and manors the story of the nobles, and cities the record of the guildsman and merchant. But it is at the wayside inn that all meet together. It is there, at the comfortable hostelry, hat each, for a time throws aside his calling and jostles with his neighbor as a wayfarer. Inns have never been renowned for stiff-neckedness. It has ever been their pride to hold out welcoming arms to all who can pay their way, whatever their character or creed, and, indeed, they must run the risk of being cheated by those who have not a groat. They must find a room for the king, if need be, and a shelter for the polite stranger who nightly cuts purses on the king's highway. The runaway couple must be worthily refreshed, while their smoking horses are led into the galleried court yard, and within an hour mine host must screw up his face for a welcome to those who post in hot pursuit.—Indoors and Out.

Late in the night a half-drunken tramp rolled a pipe out of the middle of the line, curled himself up in it, and fell asleep, fairly well protected from the blustering wind. But on towards the small hours a couple of students discovered the tramp, and rolled his bed and himself back into place in the great line again. The tramp, awaking in the morning had to crawl through nearly a mile of pipe before he regained his freedom. "Politeness always pays." "I beg to differ with you." "Then you'll have to cite an instance." "I can. Yesterday morning I was driving my touring car down the avenue when I saw that haughty Miss Snippersley on the sidewalk." "Yes?"

DESCRIPTION: Made in all sizes. It is lively and easy riding, very durable and lined in side with a special quality of rubber, which never becomes porous and which closes up small punctures without allowing the air to escape. We have hundreds of letters from satisfied customers stating that their tires have only been pumped up once or twice in a whole season. They weigh no more than an ordinary tire, the puncture resisting qualities being given by several layers of thin, specially prepared fabric on the tread. That "Holding Back" sensation commonly felt when riding on asphalt or soft roads is overcome by the patent "Basket Weave" tread which prevents all air from being squeezed out between the tire and the road thus overcoming all suction. The regular price of these tires is $8.50 per pair, but for advertising purposes we are making a special factory price to the rider of only $4.80 per pair. All orders shipped same day letter is received. We ship C.O.D. on approval. You do not pay a cent until you have examined and found them strictly as represented. We will allow a cash discount of 5 per cent (thereby making the price $4.55 per pair) if you send FULL CASH WITH ORDER and enclose this advertisement.

Don't Think You Are Old. A certain amount of social life is absolutely essential to the old as well as to the young. A woman never grows so old that she ceases to enjoy the company of others, and generally the older she grows the more she enjoys it. It is always a pity to see a man fall into a state which he explains by saying: "Oh, we're getting old and don't care for so much variety in our lives," says Woman's Life. In the pure selfishness of his soul he always speaks of "us" and "we" as if it naturally follows that because he is getting antiquated his wife must keep pace with him in his decline. Let him keep in touch with the world, and both he and his wife will be the better and the younger for it. Long in Public Life. Judge John V. Wright, of Tennessee, now an attorney in the general land office, at Washington, who was 80 years old in June, has been connected with public life for a greater period than any other living American. He is still as vigorous as a man of 60 and keeps up with the things of to-day without forgetting what has passed and gone. King's Restricted Diet. When King Edward VII. visits Marienbad for the cure his diet is much restricted. For breakfast he may partake of eggs, cold ham, rusks and coffee. Luncheon is served about 1:30, and the following diet is recommended: Fresh trout, chicken, veal and compote of plums, while white wine with Geissshubler water is drunk Change of Scene for Holiday. Too many people bear their tiring burden with them when they go away for rest. There must be a change of thought as well as scene. For the farmer there's nothing better than a glimpse of city life. But the city man should shun the summer resort. And that is where he is usually found. He has no plan about his vacation. Get away from the crowd. Get back to nature. Live in the open. Sleep in the open if you can. Make friends with the birds and trees and flowers. Rub up against rural nature and see what enlightenment will spring from it. Get the views of people who look at life clearly and frankly and at new angles. Get sunburned, get freckled, get tired and then get rested again. Cleveland Plain Dealer. Lots of men are bulls in the stock market and bears at home. It's no fun for a woman to suffer if she has to suffer in silence. Henry Irving's Stage Revolution. Sir Henry Irving was the first actor to make slenderness acceptable, or tolerable, on the English stage. Until his time fatness had been obligatory; it is difficult to realize now the full convention of chest and shoulders and calves. Comparatively lately a man of stage experience was urgent with a company of English amateurs that all the thin women and all the lean men should be made plump. "Nothing," he said, "is so impossible on the stage as thinness." Irving changed all this because his genius was wedded to uncompromising thinness. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Phone.

Former Found Helpless in the Grasp of the Crustacean. D. L. Van Culin, a Paducah stationer, is fond of salt water crabs, says the Cincinnati Enquirer. Receiving a consignment from Maine, he took one out to experiment with. They were numb from the ice packing and one placed by the warm stove began to exhibit signs of life. "I will just leave him there and see how long a crab can live out of water," Van Culin explained, as he locked his store for the night. The stationer found no crab when he returned. A thorough search of the ground floor failed to reveal anything, but a peculiar knocking sound from upstairs attracted his attention. On the top step of the stairs he found the trouble. The crab, with his grippers fast in the sides of a fat rat, was clinging to his captive. The rat, nearly dead, struggled feebly for release and little by little wormed his way upstairs with the weight of the crab pulling steadily against him. The rodent had presumably sniffed at the queer-looking intruder and was caught before his nimble legs could carry him out of harm's reach. A Strange Short Cut. It will certainly be news to most people, says the London Globe, that New York is a short cut for telegrams between London and Paris and between London and Berlin. However, the fact is vouched for. The messages are received at an agreed address in New York and are immediately passed on for London, Paris or Berlin, as the case may be. The reason for this amazing roundabout to save time is curious. New York time being about six hours behind European time, its wire connections with Europe are almost always unoccupied during the London forenoon, while during the same time European wires are often congested. Via New York, therefore, is a "short cut," but expensive. --- E. V. GILL CAPITOL HILL FERTILIZING COMPANY ManureFurnished in Any Amount EXPRESS 402 Stand Nineteenth and Downing Aves.

While James Russell Lowell was editor of the Atlantic Monthly he frequently accepted stories written by Mrs. Harriet Prescott Spofford, with whom he enjoyed a personal friendship. Mrs. Spofford, however, feared that he might be taking them because of his interest in her and not for the merit of her work. She resolved to put the matter to a test. Her handwriting was peculiar. One of the most characteristic letters was her d, to the end of which she gave a queer little crook, toward the left. In order to disguise her work she had her sister copy one of her stories before sending it to the editor. Mr. Lowell accepted it in a letter, in which he wrote: "The d's may not be yours, but there is no mistaking the 'idees.'" Layman's Praise. A well-known presiding elder tells a good story at his own expense. He was asked one day to preach at a colored church where a money raising occasion had been announced, and the pastor of the charge, desiring to impress the congregation with the importance and dignity of the speaker of the day, thus introduced him: "Brethren and sisters, it is now my great pleasure and delight to introduce the Rev. Mr. Blank, the sounding brass and de tinkling cymbal of the Methodist church." When a fellow-pastor addressed the same congregation some months later he was introduced as "the great obstacle of the Methodist church."—Chicago Inter Ocean. BROUGHT DEAD GIANT TO KING Kidnaper Had Forgotten Victim Would Need to Breathe. One of the most industrious of the man-thieves who recruited the famous regiment of giants for King Frederick William of Prussia was Baron Hompesch, whose many successes led him once to cast covetous eyes upon a very lengthy joiner. He ordered of the joiner a chest or cupboard which should be as long and broad as the worker himself. In due course the baron called round. The cupboard had been finished, but he protested that it was too small. This the carpenter denied and laid himself within it as proof of its dimensions. No sooner had he done so than servants of the baron clapped down the lid and had the giant prisoner. They carried him off to the court, but when the lid was opened, instead of a giant there rolled out a corpse. The man had been stifled. In his anger the king sentenced the baron to death, but reprieved him when he wanted more giants.

Racial relations are only a part of the great economic struggle for power and su- premacy in the race of life. There will come a solution when the wis- dom of the fathers préyails.

EXAMINE THE RECORDS, It is often said that we are identi- fled with a school of men who are de- structive rather than constructive. Let us examine the record, We be- lieve in God and serve Him. We be- lieve in man that we are equal in the sight of God to any other man. We believe in the dignity and sanctity of Man, the temple of God. We believe in human education; the education of the head and the training of the hand. We believe in work, honest work for national good. We believe it is the duty of all to work to the end of lib- erty. We believe that this end can only be attained, in a republican form of government by equality at the bal- lot box, and that that equality will be attained by agitation and work to- ward that end We believe in justice simple American justice, and like our neestors, we feel we ought to kill that man who would make us slaves. It is said we whine and cry aloud, Yes, we love liberty. UNFAVORABLE TO TEACHERS, Much undeserved criticism has | come upon the head of Mr. H. J Pinkett of this bureau because an article was sent out by us which was unfavorable to the Teachers’ College of Howard University. At some future time this bureau will deal with the teachers’ college at length, point- ing out how its dean came into power, how by his rise another man was de- noted, how a departure was made from the charter of the university, how les- son are assigned and never truly learned, how there rises from day to ty one grand sweet song of methods, methods, methods, and finally the pur- os of creating this great college to destroy the College of the Arts and | Sciences.

[Continued from page 2] so odious we would compare Dr. Moore with these simple teachers of men. However, they lived in a day when methods and pedagogic equipment were not as important as now. At the last meeting of the executive committee of the board of trustees of Howard University, Edward L. Parks, D. D., who for 14 years was professor of systematic theology in Gammon Theological Seminary, was appointed professor of Greek in Howard University. Let us see if this line of work will fit a man to teach Greek. "Systematic theology is that branch of theology of which the aim to reduce all revealed truth to a series of statements that together shall constitute an organized whole." Johnson's Cyc. In other words, systematic theology consists in the presentation in their logical and orderly arrangement the truths which treat of the existence, character and attributes of God. Therefore, a man who has devoted the greater part of his life to this line of work, if he has done his duty, is unfit at the age of sixty to become a competent professor of Greek. In this connection, it is averred that Dr. Parks is being pruned for the deanship of the College of Arts and Sciences. We most respectfully submit to the deanship of the College of Arts and Sciences, although Dr. Thirkield and Dr. Parks are both Gammon men. IT IS PITIABLE. We do not think it a worthy step to leave the ministry of the church of God to accept a chaplaincy in the army; nor do we think a man either truly serves himself or his race when he gives up a professorship in a great national university to accept the directorship of a little industrial school. It is a sad commentary upon men who are prepared and by whom the race has stood; it is pitiable. GOOD WORK AT BALTIMORE. The meeting of the Afro-American Council did good work in its last meeting in Baltimore a short time ago. The address to the country was, with one exception, full of manhood and courage. Its arraignment of the men in the nation who have wronged us and tried to make us slaves was right and timely; its advice to the colored people was good. The event of the session was the speech delivered by Prof. Hart on the jim-crow laws of the country. It was one of the ablest speeches ever heard in the THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. city of Baltimore. The objectionable sentence in the address to the country asked for education for our youth equal to that given to other youth with the same conditions and needs. There are no other youths with the same conditions and needs; therefore, this sentence asks for a different kind of education for colored youth than that given white youth. This is infamous, and whoever put that line into that otherwise admirable address is unfit to be classed with honest men. The sooner we are rid of such insidious foes the better. Even hero-worshipers are fickle. Fair play doesn't always win fair lady. The quest of happiness requires no search warrant. The gift of gab often results in a man giving himself away. TONS OF DIAMONDS. An Estimate on the Output of the Mines of the World. Like all precious metals and stones, the unit of weight usually employed in regard to diamonds is the carat, of which $151\frac{1}{2}$ go to make up a single ounce. To think of sacks of diamonds by the ton staggers the imagination; indeed, the average annual output of the Kimberley mines is not more than half a ton all told. Statistics have been published recently at Cape Town giving the output for several years past of the Kimberley mines and the river diggings. These yielded in the three years 1903 95 nearly 7,250,000 carats, say a ton and a half. The monetary value of these diamonds was £10,450,000. Since the first diamond was discovered by the banks of the Vaal in 1867 down to the end of 1906 it is estimated that the total weight of diamonds extracted from the Griqualand mines is over 13½ tons, of a market value of fully £95,000,000. If statistics of this sort can be trusted—and in the case of the South African yield they closely approximate to the facts—only 17 tons of diamonds had been mined all over the world to the end of 1901. With the same relative output since that year from Brazil and India the world's output of diamonds is now more than 20 tons. The figure seems small, considering the ages diamonds have been worked in India and elsewhere in the east and must be largely guesswork with respect to the output in antiquity. It is, however, certain that more diamonds have been placed on the market in the last 40 than in the previous thousand years.—Pall Mall Gazette.

GENERAL OBSERVATIONS. A negro in Biscon, Ark., was exonerated by a write jury for killing a white man whom he saw crawling out of his window of his home. The verdict met universal approval. W. H. Rogers of McIntosh county, Georgia, is the only colored man in the legislature at the present time. His seat was contested by a prominent white man who was defeated. The disfranchisement bill is to be passed at this session and we wonder how he will vote. Kansas negroes won their suit in the Wichita school question. The supreme court of Kansas held that under the present law they could not separate the children. It is reported from reliable sources that Roosevelt will recommend the re-enlistment of the colored soldiers. This plan is to be approved by Senator Foraker, however. It will then be hoped that he will not make a minority report. What do you think of the compromise? Is that satisfaction What has history said about compromises? Nine colored students finished larvard with scholarly honors at this commencement. Locke, the winner of Rhodes scholarship in Oxford, England, received the highest degree of all, Magna cum lande. The Louisville Courier has appealed to the South to take up the suggestion of the Daughters of the Confederacy, and build and dedicate the next monument to the "old mammy" of the South. Uncle Eph. gets left. With Dr. A. Wilberfore Williams as president, L. L. Jones as vice-president of the Black Diamond Development Co., the prominent negroes of Chicago are backing up a plan to open a negro bank to be entirely managed by the colored. "I am not one of those who are glad that the Confederacy failed in her purpose. I would rather live under the stars and bars, under Jefferson Davis, than under the stars and stripes with Theodore Roosevelt as president of the United States," said Vardaman, the secessionist, in a hot debate with Congressman John Sharp Williams in Meridian, Miss. "It is not the negro franchise that is a menace to Mississippi. It is the negro himself. He is cut out of the franchise now, but it is him we fear and not his vote," said Bourbon Democratic Congressman Williams. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. ALONG EDUCATIONAL LINES. An observer along educational lines is forced to ask himself this question: "Why does nearly every institution of color have and emphasize the industrial part of the school at this time? Is it to catch the moneyed philanthropist's eye? Why cannot we have some colleges, even one, absolutely free from industrialism—merely for head and heart training like Yale, Harvard or Princeton? If it has been necessary for the Caucasian to make this great progress how much more is it necessary for the handicapped races? Will that head development fit the negro to compete because of the brains developed? If every corporation and trust company are clamoring for college young men with active brains, why should not the negro have an extra workable supply properly developed to assist in the solving of these many problems and questions now unknown to the Caucasian? Does the concern lie in the point that when college negroes solve these questions they solve it from the negro's viewpoint and none other? Is not the world begging to have them solved regardless as to who solves them? Count over the Southern schools and see how many colleges, academies and the like are free from industrialism. Did you ever stop and consider the reason? The masses are in the South and if higher educational advantages were encouraged to them, they will through their brain power, and not by their numbers alone, rule and not be ruled. There is the rup, whether the negro shall even represent himself and others intellectually, financially and morally, as well as numerically, when he is capable like B. K. Bruce and ex-Congressman Geo. H. White of North Carolina. Who has been, for years dealing wisely with the negro as did the Egyptians attempted to deal with the Israelites in their thinking, planning and scheming? Who has been assisting them to carry out these designs, they could not and would not dare to do it alone? Mark it down that when there is so much confusion raised and being raised there must be some reason back of it somewhere. We should, therefore, carefully and gravely consider this gigantic question of mixing the education because we are planning for the babes now in the cradles and we should be eminently competent to discuss and shape our actions accordingly, also rightfully determine for ourselves and not let others determine for us, the question, why should so much stress be now put on the hand training and the industrializing of every colored school? Man learns to become a dreamer, thinker and planner, an architect of fortune in college, so you can see why college education for the masses because of the danger of their unlimited mental development and power. Let every negro be constantly and continuously thinking how he can honestly better his babies, not yet out of the cradle—their condition bringing results out of his thoughts. Let your brains become rightfully active and all things will be added unto you.

ELEVENTH ANNUAL CONVENTION The Eleventh Annual Session of the Western Negro Press Association will meet at Topeka, Kansas, Monday and Tuesday, August 12th and 13th, 1907. To the Press: Pursuant to the regular appointment under the provisions of the Constitution, the Western Negro Press Association of the United States, is hereby called to convene at Topeka, Kansas, in its Eleventh Annual Session, Monday and Tuesday, August 12th and 13th, 1907. All proprietors, editors, managers, reporters and correspondents west of the Mississippi river are eligible to membership in the Association and are urged to be there. We cordially extend an invitation to members of the fraternity throughout the country to meet with us in Topeka, Kas., to consider those questions so vital to the welfare of the race of this country. Recent developments, such as the Brownsville affair, Tillman's lectures against us, The Clansman by Dixon, and the publication of books and magazine articles with the avowed purpose of creating sentiment against us, show the need of action on the part of intelligent and thoughtful members of the race, and the press must undoubtedly take the lead. We would again urge upon every paper and its entire staff to make this meeting a personal matter, in order to secure a large and enthusiastic gathering. The executive committee:—Nick Chiles of Topeka, Kas., chairman; W. H. Twine, corresponding secretary of Muskogee, I. T., will apprise all western railroads of the convention and will request them to extend courtesies to the members and publishers of the craft. W. H. DUNCAN, President. D. B.

There's just as big a job wait- ing for you as you are capable of fill- ing. There is just as many unsolved problems awaiting the boy that is not afraid to dig as there ever were. There is just as much room at the top of the ladder of fame and know- ledge as at any time in history. It may be that you have to catch your game in a different way than your grandfathers did. Opportunity is no more expensive now than it used to be, but you must now be made of pretty high grade of clay to fill the bill, Colorado is waiting and as will- ing to pay well for minerals and pro- ducts as she ever was. If you have the stuff in you, if you are burning with some great truth or ambition step up and give the door of opportunity such a rap that will make her jump and ask “Who's there?” “Stand back,” you say, “and let me in; I've got the goods.” Opportunity is from Missouri, and you must show her and then there is the chance’ to show Colorado what you can do. If you have the goods or the pluck to go after them, opportunity will never ask you to wait till she knocks at your door. Success makes opportun- ity which comes through work. Svec- cess is made up of a thousand little pieces of common things well done. Every time you slight a chore or any work you are putting a soft stone in the foundation of success. Mistakes will come, but try again, shunning that mistake. In that way your work will become more aceurate and your immediate friends will note it, then your neighbors, your city, and finally you have proved that Colorado has chances for boys and girls with the real live matter in them.
