Many Visitors From National Meeting At Topcka, Some Of Whom Are Prominent Figures In Session. NINETEENTH YEAR BARBE BUSINESS Routine Business Trans tions Planned By Many Visitors From Na Some Of Whom An In S The meeting of the Colorado State Business League at Colorado Springs Tuesday and Wednesday called from various parts of the state a representative gathering of the strivers among our people who are in business and a large number of well wishers. Of the out of the city delegations, that of Pueblo was the largest, closely followed by Denver. The program as published was closely adhered to. The two night meetings were held in Temple Theatre, which especially on the last night was crowded. This was the greatest of all the sessions, Isaiah T. Montgomery, the founder of Mound Bayou, Miss., and Congressman Brooks being the speakers. The address of the former was a notable one, being in the purest English and most limpid style reaching at times up to eloquence. Congressman Brooks made a most happy address, though at times he sounded depths on sociology. He was received with much applause. The meeting was the greatest in the history of the league, largely because of the presence of the notable visitors who came west after the national meeting at Topeka. Among them were Messrs. Banks and Pettiford, Mississippi bankers, the former of whom was an active figure in the meeting. There were southern business men and one lady from Chicago --- DENVER, COLO., FRIDAY AUGUST 23, 1907 who has the upkeep of the wax figures in the department stores there Mrs. Robinson by name. For the ensuing year Rev. H. Franklin Bray of Pueblo will be president, E. P. Booze chairman of the executive committee, with other officers chosen from all parts of the state. Fred Roberts of Colorado Springs is state organizer. Denver will be the next place of meeting. Resolutions were adopted establishing an employment bureau in the various cities and to conduct a commercial rating department. At the close of the night session Wednesday there was a banquet at which the delegates and citizens and visitors set down. The meeting was conducted upon lines similar to preceding years, with "experience" talks from various delegates interspersing the set program. The parliamentary features were sometimes prominent, but never violent and the organization sets out on its fourth year handicapped by no divisions or hard feelings. BIG BARBECUE.

Executive Chairman Of Business League Raises a Large Sum By Using It Like Dummy Political Club. The entertainment of the Colorado State Business League, which met in Colorado Springs this week, was in charge of Eugene P. Booze, who was chairman of the executive committee. It was the most elaborate that has yet been in the history of the league, including the use of public parks and pavilions, a tremendous audience room and concluding with the usual banquet. In previous years, whatever expense that was gone to by cities for the entertainment of the business men, was borne by the entertainers. And there has never been any complaint of lack of cordial welcome or adequate preparation. This year for the first time the expense was not borne by the people whom the move was directly and indirectly benefiting, but was partly or wholly paid from donations made by wealthy men of this state who at best are but well wishers of the league. This statement will be news to many even of the delegates, as Mr. Booze in his capacity as chairman of the finance committee, did not make any report to the league, but deferred it to a future date. Some situations require strong language, and if ever there has been a crisis in the history of the league it is now and The Statesman shall speak out that the good of all may not be lost through the thoughtless- FIVE CENTS A COPY y Sept. 2 OF GRAFT Field Up To Public Spirited "Worthy Charity."

The colored people of this country resent any implication that they are the wards of the white people either as government officers or private individuals. Our leaders are going everywhere preaching the doctrine of self-help. It has come to be axiomatic with Negroes that are worth while, that what cannot be gotten by our own energies in an honorable and manly way, is better done without than enjoyed as charity from anyone. Opportunity is what we ask—opportunity to do for ourselves, not charity. We would walk uprightly of our own strength and not be carried around on luxurious beds of laziness. So it is that in this case the few who know of the shame of the state league are wrathful that Mr. Booze has compromised us all in financing his entertainment. From the very nature of things it is certain that General Palmer and Thomas Walsh and Senator Guggenheim did not volunteer their assistance for entertaining our business men, and it follows that they must have been solicited. Think of it! Self-supporting Negroes, men who laud their race for its loyal support of our own ventures, are by this act held up as objects for charity! We do not believe that the (Continued on page 8.) (Continued on page 8.) CAIFORNIA FEDERATION OF COL- ORED WOMEN'S CLUBS. Dear Editor:—Out here in the land of fruit and flowers the colored women are helping to mould sentiment. On August 6-8 inclusive the federation convened in Oakland, Cal., the "Athens" of the West. Mrs. Geo. Warner of Los Angeles, the president, presiding. Around her was gathered a galaxy of brilliant women dealing with the vexing problems confronting our race. This was their first annual meeting and six clubs were represented. There was a room of art work displayed reflecting great credit upon these women; there were dozens of pieces of embroidery and battenburg. Beautiful oil paintings, millinery work, domestic science, dressmaking and all kinds of industrial work accomplished by these women. The papers read and discussed were par excellence. The one trend of thought being better homes, better mothers and fathers, better children. These women sent out a great cry for our women to dress within their means, and not to mimic their white sisters, but get honestly that which they could afford. The resolutions were forceful, urging the Negro to buy homes in all sections of the city and not all congregate in any particular locality. Urged the club women to purchase Negro literature for their home libraries. Also to eliminate slang and coon songs from their homes. These women have pledged their support to maintain "Women's Exchanges" throughout the state. Mrs. Moxley, Mrs. De Hart, Mrs. Gilbert, Mrs. Jackson, Mrs. Ford, Mrs. Turner, Mrs. Withers and others made "Rome howl" with their eloquent papers. Mrs. Julia Emery of Colorado Springs, Colo., delivered an address which was very interesting and received deafening applause. Mrs. Eva C. Buckner of Colorado wrote the California state song, "In the Ranks." Each session was crowded with attentive listeners. The social features were delightful. The last evening a concert was given at Foresters' hall and the door receipts were $109 cleared, at which time a program of splendid talent was rendered. The native sons and daughters enjoy a distinction of which they are proud and their culture refinement and general hospitality win for them an inevitable place in the hearts of all who meet them. The homes of the colored people of Oakland are magnificent and it was my pleasure to meet many of wealth. Oakland last week entertained three grand state bodies, California S. F. of C. W. C., Grand Lodge of the G. U. O. F., the Afro-American Council of California, and it was a grand sight when these sentiment makers met to discuss and remedy he existing evils. There are many Denverites and Coloradoans in Oakland and San Francisco. While California's pride has been greatly damaged, still San Francisco THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO is fast rebuilding and will soon take her place as the great "Mecca of the West." Just now politics has the city hampered. The Fanny Jackson Coppin club with Mrs. Moten as president, and the California Art club with Mrs. Bertha president, entertained the federation at Oakland, and they were careful that the smallest detail was looked after in a most creditable manner. All left for their respective homes with loud praise for the royal entertainment accorded all. MRS. JULIA EMERY. State Chairman Press Committee. August 13, 1907.

For the benefit of poor consumptives unable to leave their work, or to go from home to a more congenial climate, the New York Post-Graduate Hospital some years ago set apart a portion of its free dispensary. Some of the methods employed are described in Pearson's. The patients report at the hospital twice daily, and these daily gatherings give the physicians in charge "an opportunity to cross-examine the patients, to correct their faults of living and instruct them how to make the most of their means. The patients are bidden to eat all they can of wholesome food, allowing an interval of five hours between meals. Things specifically barred are tea, coffee, cocoa, chocolate, vinegar, alcohol in any form, beef tea and meat extracts. It is preferred that the patients do not use tobacco. Fresh air and cleanliness of person and surroundings are insisted upon. Frequently the patient's occupation will not permit of his controlling his supply of air during the day, but he must sleep with his windows wide open in all kinds of weather. Why do we hear all this talk about the great necessity of fresh air in curing consumption? The reason is that heat and energy are convertible terms; that if the fat you take into your system is to be utilized as energy it must be kindled, and that to kindle anything you must have oxygen, which is found in proper quantity only in air that is fresh. Women patients who wear corsets must take them off." Besides being instructed as to the method of cure, the patients are taught that "the curing of a cause of tuberculosis depends as much, if not more, upon the determination and will of the patient as upon the skill of the physician." Some heroic struggles are made by some of the patients who are determined to get well.

THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Love for the Old Home. Mankind is nomadic, and while the sweetest poetry in the language is inspired by the old home, the monumental work in the world has been accomplished in the main by those who left the parental roof to pursue elsewhere the quest for fortune, fame and high success. Nevertheless the love for the old home abides. The reunion of those who remain and those who have departed is an occasion that will stir the pulse of any community in which such a soulful event takes place. The pretty announcement was made by a newspaper in a little New England town which was about to celebrate its old home week that "the Jones boys have arrived and Charles will preach in the Presbyterian church on Sunday." A little walt of news like that revives old times and pays for all the preparation of "old home week."—Philadelphia Ledger. LESSONS TAKEN FROM NATURE. Ideas Not All Original in the Brains of Inventors. "We get our hints from nature," the inventor said. "Take, for instance, the hollow pillar, which is stronger than the solid one. The wheat straw showed us the superior strength of the hollow pillar. Solid, the wheat straw would be unable to support its head of grain. "Where did man get his idea for carriage springs? From the hoofs of the horse, which, like the springs derived from them, are made from parallel plates. "Scissors we got from the jaws of the tortoise, which are natural scissors; chisels from the squirrel, who carries them in his mouth; adzes from the hippopotamus, whose ivories are adzes of the best design; the plane from the bee's jaws; the trip hammer from the woodpecker." Opera in Arkansas. "See you had a comic opera here night before last," said the patent churn man, who had just come to town on one of his periodical visits. "How was it? I notice the bills promised a great scenic production, and all that." "Ps-s-s-st! Come here!" hissed the landlord of the tavern at Polkville, Ark. Hooking a forefinger through a buttonhole in his guest's ralment, he led the astonished man off from the porch, out across the yard and around behind the smokehouse. "Ps-s-s-st That's what they called it, on paper—'a scenic production'—but my wife (she ain't anywhere around within hearin') said—you know how women are, that-a-way, ee-specially the best but kind o' skinny ones; wife, wher she seen the chorus in tights—well from the way she acted then and what she's said to me 'most ever since, I sorter surmise that she considered it an obscenic production."—San Francisco Call. Sweet Alyesum. No white plant makes so charming a border as the Little Gem allyssum. It is charming for edgings, baskets, pots, rock work and for cutting. The seeds may be sown in the open early in the spring or even late in the preceding autumn. It can also be started in pots in the house. For borders the seed should be sown thickly to form massa. Cutting back after the first flowers fade strengthens new growth. Newlands' Eloquence Senator Newlands of Nevaca was soaring in debate one day, soaring in high he hit the ceiling. He realized he was getting a trifle flowery and, to excuse himself said: "Indeed, Mr President, perservid oratory may be hardened, for this subject furnishes all the food eloquence needs." That sounded pretty good to Newlands, but he was a bit abashed when he read in the Congressional Record next day that, he asserted his topic "furnished all the food elephants need."—Chicago Chronicle. Unique Country Home Percy A. Rockefeller, son of Wm. Rockefeller and nephew of John D. Rockefeller, is building a country home in Connecticut which is unlike any other ever planned. Perhaps the most extraordinary feature of it is a confined air space in the walls, forming a non-conductor of heat, cold or moisture. The air space, it is said, will make the house warmer in winter, cooler in summer and dryer all the year around than any other man's home, rich or poor. Adopts an Indian. Mrs. Lottie Thompson, a rich widow of Grand Junction, Col., has adopted a young Ute Indian as her son and heir. She saw the lad recently and was struck with his intelligence. He had no parents and the widow offered him a home. The boy is known under the name of Earl Dennis and is 13 years old. Monument to a Bull. Dan R.

What we owe to Vesuvius in covering up the city of Pompeii and saving it from the gradual but complete destruction which all cities constantly inhabited and renewed must suffer, this we owe to the burning and forsaking of Timgad, which have left to us an entire town of the time of the Romans with its life and history plainly writ in stone. When the French government has completed its work of excavation it seems probable that Timgad will be the most perfect specimen of a Roman colonial city to which all travelers, interested in the life of two thousand years ago, will look for a magnificent lesson.

Emerson Hough constitutes himself the historian of the outlaw, believing the truth about "the bad man" of the west is sufficiently thrilling and meaning to present merely truth. There were outlaws of all nationalities, according to Mr. Hough, but the prizetaker among them was the western white bad man, who in a land which the law could not protect, like the great region on the frontier, reverted to the ways of Goth and Teuton for bears. There were genuine bad men and imitation bad men, and Mr. Hough thus differentiates them: "Throughout the west there are two sorts of wolves—the coyote and the gray wolf. Either will kill and both are lovers of blood. One is yellow at heart and the other is game all the way through. Outwardly both are wolves, and in appearance they sometimes grade toward each other so closely it is hard to determine the species. The gray wolf is a warrior and is respected, the coyote is a sneak and a murderer, and his name is a term of reproach throughout the west." TURNED OUT BY NATURE. Many Things of Use That the Old Dame Manufactures. Nature is something of a manufacturer herself. In the case of a certain cactus marvelous natural pottery is produced. Woodpeckers excavate nests in the trunk and branches, and to protect itself the plant exudes a sticky juice, which hardens, forming a woody lining to the holes made by the birds. Eventually the cactus dies and withers away, but the wooden bowls remain. As a weaver nature also produces fine work. Certain tree barks and leaves furnish excellent cloth, as, for instant, the famous tapa cloth used in the South sea islands. Nature is a glass-maker, too. By discharging her lightning into beds of quartz sand she forms exquisite little pipes of glass. She makes valuable ropes of various kinds in the shape of tropical vines and creepers, and she is even a lace-maker, as witness the lace tree of the West Indies.—Indian Review. Excludes Draughts. Fresh-air cranks, who believe in having an abundance of fresh air during the sleeping hours, will find the ventilating canopy of interest. The problem of properly ventilating a room to allow the admission of all the fresh air possible is often hard to solve, as it is invariably impossible to prevent draughts, which naturally must be avoided. By the use of the ventilating canopy, the sleeper is perfectly safe from draughts, it being even possible to place the bed in front of the open window. The framework of the canopy is secured firmly to the head of the bed, the covering being placed over all portions but the front. The head and upper portion of the body are thus protected from all draughts, the fresh air, nevertheless, having full egress in front. COMMONWEALTH LIFE.

THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. BOPPS STRIPES TO PRAY. A certain and favorite junior officer in the United States navy had for a considerable time observed that the admiral always removed his uniform coat and denned one of less pretensions when he read his Bible on Sunday mornings. He often wondered why the commander of the flagship should do so strange a thing, and so one day, when the good humor of the admiral permitted the great amount of freedom such a question would require, he asked: "Admrial, will you tell me why you always remove your uniform coat before you open your Bible for Sunday morning's reading?" The admiral lifted his eyes and gravely stared the young officer in the face. His smile was more beatific than forbidding. "Lieutenant, I remove my uniform coat before reading the Bible because I can never give the Lord of Hosts the proper amount of respect and adoration with the stripes of an admiral embracing the arms that support the Bible." It was a question of the pride of his heart—which was in his admiral's stripes—overcoming the love he held for his Maker when he would render his devotion to him.—Lippinecott's Magazine. MADE NEST IN BEARD. Mouse Teek Great Liberty With Miner in Alaska. A mouse may naturally be a "timid beastie," but at times it shows an audacity which borders on the importi- nent. A traveler in Alaska brings home this experience of his Klondike wanderings. The teller of the story passed a long, cold winter at Cape Nome. He and his companions had, for a year or more, let their beards grow, as a protection for their throats and chests. One night, when all were asleep, the man in question was awakened by a light patting on his face. The cold was intense, and not caring to move unless it was necessary, he lay still. Again the light touchee on his cheek. He put up his hand, and his fingers closed on a tiny mouse tangled in the meshes of his board. A companion, reused by the involuntary exclamation, lighted a candle and investigated. The mouse had selected the board as a warm and eligible site for a residence. It had burrowed out a nice, round nest, and when caught was engaged in dropping beans, purloined from the scanty larder, into the receptacle thus made.—Youth's Companion. Dufferin and the Chicago Press. Dufferin and the Chicago Press. In the year 1874 the Marquis of Dufferin and Ava, then the governor-general of Canada, visited Chicago. Concerning that visit he has written: "The day following my arrival I spent in bed with a very bad nervous headache, a fact which was announced to the public in the morning by a sensational paragraph in all the papers, to the following effect: 'His royal nibs down with a colic! Doctor sent for.' In fact, all the time I was at Chicago the papers teemed with similar elegancies—the concluding leading article in the leading journal being headed 'Good-by, Old Dufferin.' Another paper devoted two of its columns to a description of an interview between one of its re- porters and myself, in which I communicated to my interlocutor—whom I always addressed as 'old fellow'—various state secrets and a minute detail of my private affairs, though it is needless to say the author of the narrative had never been within a hundred yards of me."

YOU CAN LAY YOUR TROUBLE UPON THE SHELLF IF YOU CARRY BENEFITS IN THE COMMONWEALTH. BOSE HI HIS OWN COURT. Montana Judge Refused to Listen to Point of Law. At one time, the supreme court issued a supervisory writ directing Judge Clancy, of Montana, to make a certain order in a case, either granting or refusing a right to Amalagamated, so that the matter might be finally determined in the higher tribunal. When this was brought to the judge's attention, he announced that he would take the matter under advisement. The judge had taken other matters under advisement and they had never been heard of afterwards; it was one way of allowing Heine simple time to extract valuable ore bodies from the disputed ground. "Under the decision of the supreme court, we are entitled to an immediate order," said L. O. Evans, the Amalgamated attorney, who presented the matter in court. "Well, I'm not going to give it to you," came back the reply from the bench. "Our only recourse will be another appeal to the supreme court," said Mr. Evans. "You can go to the supreme court, or—anywhere else you please," said the judge. "This court can be punished for contempt—" "Go away, go away," shouted the judge, waving his long arms belligerently toward the lawyer. "You talk like a town fool I used to know back in Missouri. Bailiff, adjourn court."—McClure's Magazine. FAITH IN HER NINE LIVES. Cat Took Chances in Flying Leap from Burning Building. During a fire in the tenement house at 124 West One Hundred and Second street the other day a large black cat, with shiny yellow eyes, appeared on a window sill of the fifth story. Behind it a dull red glow and an occasional puff of smoke gave warning that the flames were rapidly approaching. Puss understood, and, after a short walk on the sill, bunched herself into space. The flight through the air was like that of a squirrel, the police being perfect and the legs spread out as widely as possible. The cat descended in a long, graceful curve, and when she struck the pavement the feet were quickly bunched together and there was no "dull thud." For a single instant the cat paused, as if to recover from the shook, and then, with a long-drawn meow and every hair on end, dashed along the street and disappeared in the darkness.—N. Y. Sun.

If the discovery of independent evolutions of human music all tending in the same direction indicates the existence of an ideal standard toward which progress leads, how much stronger is the evidence afforded by the fact that bird music is developing along the same lines! It seems a far cry from a Beethoven symphony of a Wagnerian opera to the simple lay of a sparrow, but as we trace the course of the mighty river of music back toward its source, the stream becomes narrower and narrower, until it is contracted to a point where it is no broader than the little rill of bird music. Nor does the decrease stop there; for, remarkable as it may seem, there was a time when the music from which ours has been evolved was inferior to some of that which floats to our ears from the woods of spring. This is not to say merely that the songs of certain of the birds involve more intervals and greater variety, but that they are of a higher order judged by our own modern standards.—Henry Oldys in Harmonia. WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE PAGE 2. NIAGARA MOVEMENT. Don't fail to attend the Niagara movement conference to be held in Boston this month. It is the organization which is needed and which can do a work that no other body can do. It is radical and holds the most advanced ground of any organization in the country on race rights. The necessity now is for a sane government in the future. That government can be had by the highest constructive work through education of the people along lines of rights, duties and responsibilities of citizenship. This is the first duty in a republic, the building of houses is a secondary constructive labor. The movement has got to combat the ignorant foes from within and the dangerous sinister enemies from without; it has got to meet these poor deluded or corrupt people who argue in season and out of season that building character through education is not constructive, and insist that the only constructive work is accomplished through industrial training and getting property. We have all these things to meet and overcome; but we can do the work if we keep faith, and stand squarely on our feet as men, ourselves placing the proper estimate upon character and capacity by honoring men who represent the best. MONROE TROTTER. Wm. Monroe Trotter, editor of the Boston Guardian, occupies today with respect to race rights and human liberty, the same ground occupied by T. Thomas Fortune in 1890, the difference being that Fortune of that time, when we had more outspoken friends than we have today, took a broader view of the great problems confronting the race and the nation. Mr. Fortune fought everything that seemed to intimate the taking away of the rights of the colored people, and he deserves credit for the work he has done. Mr. Trotter, a brilliant Harvard man, succeeds to the place ignominiously abandoned by Mr. Fortune. The elements which have enabled him to take the high ground which he took, and has maintained, are courage and education together with his position. He has come into the arena at a time when friends are silent for the most part, at a time when men from within have sold their rights for personal glory and comfort for a day. Mr. Trotter has the opportunity that Garrison had in another day. It was Garrison's opportunity to overthrow slavery; it is Trotter's opportunity to overthrow what is worse wrong than slavery, caste. Mr. Trotter can do this if he will take a broader view of the issue. An unceasing bombardment of a single individual makes the issue too narrow and persistency in this course will fail, and the second era of a Garrison will not come. If Mr. Trotter will enlarge the issue and THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORAD show less personal feeling, contending on the great broad plane of manhood for every right pledged in the law and promised by Abraham Lincoln there will soon come to his aid all of the great moral agencies, sleeping though they are at this time, and bring to the realization of all the promise of freedom for all men of all races of all the earth. We perceive the issue to be "Slavery vs. Freedom," and we believe it must be met on the great broad principles of a statesman, leaving no place for the smallness of personalities and narrow partisanship. If the views of the wise statesman prevail, there can be no question as to the outcome of the struggle. Will Mr. Trotter grasp the situation and become the saviour of a race, the destroyer of a system worse than slavery? A SUCCESS. Mr. Louis G. Gregory's friends are seriously urging his appointment as a supervising principal of the District of Columbia public schools to succeed Dr. W. V. Tunnell, resigned. They point out his complete fitness for the position and refer to his record with pride. Mr. Gregory, it will be recalled, took his Bachelor of Arts Degree from Fiske University in 1896, standing in scholarship second only to Dr. W. E. B. DuBois. Upon finishing college he began teaching in the public school at Nashville, Tenn., and later taught at Avery Institute. In his work he was carefully observed by the Fiske professors and they commend him as a model man. In their letters and references to him in scholarship, in character, enthusiasm, discipline and the ability to impart knowledge, his professors commended him as second to no man Fiske University has sent into the world. Those who worked with him in the public schools speak of him in terms of highest praise, and they state that he has made a most enviable record as a teacher. Wishing to pursue work other than teaching, Mr. Gregory entered the law department of Howard University, completed the three years' course in two years and made one of the best records in scholarship ever made in the history of the law department. Entering upon the practice of law, Mr. Gregory soon won the respect and confidence of the members of the bar and the bench, and was upon several occasions complimented by the judges. He has the respect and confidence of the community and is looked upon by all who know him as an excellent man. Mr. Gregory has done much work along literary and civic lines. For a year he was president of Bethel Literary and Historical Association, and has in every way identified himself with every good thing in school, church and state, doing a spelndid (Continued on page 2.)

(Continued from page 2.) part by all whom he cared to serve. In broad scholarship, in character, in enthusiasm, in loftiness of purpose and ideal, in the appreciation of right and the doing of duty, Mr. Gregory scarcely has a peer among the young men of the nation's capital. It would be impossible to make a selection of a man for the office of supervising principal which would bring to the school system a better and more necessary combination of elements than Mr. Gregory embodies. Miss Grace Campbell is planning to take a director's course in kindergarten instruction in the north during the coming year. Miss Campbell's record indicates that she is constantly endeavoring to improve along the lines of her profession. Miss Campbell has been connected with the public schools of the District of Columbia as a kindergarten teacher since the establishment of the kindergarten schools in 1896. She was for several years a successful kindergarten teacher. At the end of that time (May, 1905), she was promoted to the position of assistant directress of kindergarten instruction, which position she had held up to the present. This appointment was made entirely upon merit, the qualifications of all of the candidates at the time being carefully considered. Miss Campbell is well qualified for her position. In addition to having a good fundamental education Miss Campbell holds three kindergarten diplomas. She was graduated by Mrs. Louise Pollock. In 1899 she graduated from the Park Temple Training Course. In 1902 she was graduated from the Kindergarten Training School of Howard University. She holds a certificate for work done in the kindergarten and primary work given by the Martha Vineyard Summer Institute, summer 1905. During the summer of 1906 she took advanced work along kindergarten and general educational lines at the kindergarten school of Grand Rapids, Michigan, under competent instructors. The public kindergartens have flourished under Miss Campbell's administration. The kindergarten work here, it is understood, compares favorably with the best kindergarten schools of the country, and is in a state of splendid development. Her record is an inspiration to the youth. AGAIN THE UNIVERSITY. Howard University is a great national institution, founded to do a work which no other institution in the nation was doing or is now doing. The departments created when the school was founded were designed to be co-ordinate; that is, each department in its own sphere should be as important as the others. It was conceived by statesmen, and its departments were created and organized. A president was placed at the head of the school, and it was for him to show THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. that wisdom in guidance, without which there could be no success. It was therefore unwise to make the college or medical department the chief object of concern, as has since been done, but the best interests of the school dictated that the law department and other departments which do the work they were created to do should have the consideration and treatment which is necessary to success. No man can succeed at the head of any great state or institution of learning who is unwise enough to discriminate between co-ordinate branches over which he presides. No man can be useful to humanity in such a capacity who is unable to grasp a situation so simple, while at the same time so vital to life and progress. The great danger in Howard University, as in a great institution anywhere, is that the person chosen to lead will overlook the woes that will come when wisdom is absent. The moment discriminations are made between the faculties or apportionments of monies, that moment ambitions and jealousies are turned loose which will be destructive of all that is given to promote progress and lead to success. This is the lesson which we would have Dr. Thirkield learn. He is constantly extolling the teachers college and urging upon the pupils the need of teachers in the south. We understand this need and appreciate the reasons for it; but we cannot think it wise or helpful to place one department above another, when the advice in that behalf does not encourage human training, human education, equality before the great bar of justice, and direct the energies alike of all the members of the great family for good, harmony and success. The need for Dr. Thirkield to learn this lesson forces upon this bureau anew the fact that Dr. Thirkield is lacking in the necessary 'higher academic equipment." If Dr. E. W. Lampton is not made a bishop in the next general conference of the A. M. E. church, it will be the first time in the history of the church when an aspiring financial secretary has failed. It is hard to overcome precedent and "the something" of a quasi-political nature that sometimes arises in church bodies. Things of general and public interest are happening at Howard University nowa-days. A young man has been appointed in the commercial college to succeed Miss Annette Anderson, a young white man has been placed at the head of the school of manual arts over a very highly qualified colored man. Dr. Lewis B. Moore, who has been comfortably located in Minor Hall for several years, has moved down into the city, and someone from the inside has inspired an editorial in the Southwestern Christian Advocate, an organ of the M. E. church, which states that Dr. Parks, who was appointed to succeed Dr. Fairchild as professor of Greek, has been made dean of the college of arts and sciences. (Continued on page 7.)

She leaves to mourn her death a devoted father, four sisters, a brother and a devoted daughter. All there was mortal is changed now and clouded forever, but how great is your comfort in the well grounded assurance that the good Shepherd who careth for His flock has taken your daughter into His own fold your daughter has gone to Him who said "Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest." Truly we live in a world where solemn shadows are continually falling upon our path, shadows that teach us the insecurity of all temporal blessings and warn us that here there is no abiding stay. We have, however, the blessed satisfaction of knowing that death can not enter that sphere to which the departed are removed. Father, daughter, brother and sisters, oh that we may all meet in that brighter and happier world where sorrow and sin and suffering are alike unknown, that a higher than human power may console and support you all under this heavy stroke is the earnest prayer of WILMA HAMPTON.

We advise you to use only "PORO" Hair Grower, (the oldest and best of its kind). See that the name "PORO" is on every box, not genuine without it. Prepared only by MRS. A. M. POPE. MRS.

Respecting these cases the inference has been drawn that the appointment in the commercial college is the result of a political deal; that the appointment in the school of manual arts was a drawing of the color-line; that Dr. Moore was induced (?) to moved down into the city, because he was too near the president's mansion, and that the inspired editorial in Dr. Thirkield's church organ by a former pupil of Dr. Thirkield indicates that things are drifting. Two views may be taken of the editorial in question; either that it is a deliberate falsehood or Dr. Parks has been promised the deanship of the college of arts and sciences. These things keep bringing home to us the fact that Dr. Thirkield is lacking in the necessary "higher academic equipment." In this is a lesson, and it would not be amiss for Dr. Thirkield to nearn it; latitude has something to do with the necessary attitude of the white man toward the black man. But what is to come out of it all? The terrible industrialistic tendency seems to be sweeping Dr. Thirkield beyond the stakes, from which boundary line no man can return. It is a perilous sea, and Howard University is not the ship for such a voyage. The strong men and women are watching every wind that blows. SOMETHING PATHETIC There is something pathetic and sublime in the fight Senator Foraker is making for his rights as a man and the humble citizenship of his country. In the struggles he seems to be a great lone figure bearing a burden too great for human power. But the courage and mental grasp which he shows must challenge the admiration and respect even of his enemies. Yet he has his friends, an asset that can vindicate him before the American people. That asset is the colored vote of the country. 700.000 COLORED VOTERS In the country today there are 700,000 colored voters, and they can save Senator Foraker, whose political life is being crushed out because he dared demand a hearing for OUR COLORED SOLDIERS. Will the colored people be grateful and stand by the man who has done more for them than any other man since Sumner. You are sovreign citizens, and it is your duty as men to cut to pieces with your ballots any man who would wrong your friends and thereby destroy your liberties. Use your ballots, your weapons of offense and defense, in municipal, state and national matters with deadly effect. If you will do these things, Senator Foraker will not only win his fight in Ohio, but in the nation. Down with Taft and all men who declare the colored people should never have been enfranchised, down with all men who oppose Senator Foraker in the fight for the liberties of all Americans. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. TWISTER TWISTS TEDDY. Will the president of the United States ever realize that he has done the colored people of America more harm than all of his predecessors together . And even now he is using the power of the great office into which he could not have gotten without the colored vote to destroy the only man who has stood out boldly for our rights under the law. The president is wrong and the colored people resent his oppression and wrong and will carry their battle to the polls and make him pay the proper penalty for his injustice. A great many people are asking why Mr. Thomas J. Calloway severed his connection with Alcorn University of Mississippi. They say that Mr. Calloway is a candidate for a position in the local public schools; hence their interest in his past. It is being whispered that Dr. W. T. Vernon has a great following in his church which would like to make him bishop. They say that it is only a matter of time with them. Mr. Ira T. Bryant will be the next secretary of the Sunday School Union of the A. M. E. church. He is the one man who can and who will give the church an all-round first-class administration. Dressing Children. A great saving of time and help to children in dressing may be had by sewing a tape to pass under the foot of knit underwear. It makes it easy for small children to pull on their own stockings and helps older ones dress quickly. To Make Them Useful. Consul Carl Bailey Hurst, of Plauen, reports that a movement has been started in Germany for utilizing national and international exhibitions in the promotion of foreign trade. Where He Got His Start. Like Chief Justice Fuller, Secretary Wilson and other men high in the public service and confidence, Secretary Taft began his career as a newspaper man. Kindness to Children. "Do you think child labor is as prevalent as it was?" "No, indeed. Not half as many children take music lessons as formerly." —Judge. Did He Have 'Em? Bacon—What becomes of all the bugs in winter?

(Continued from page 1.) donors of money meant to belittle us for doubtless the object was represented as a worthy one, but disgraced we are! We have eaten the bread of bitterness! And for what? Ambition and the desire for self-glorification lead along strange paths and may be the motive that inspired this short cut to success. We will stop with this possible motive, for of all those possible it is the least dishonorable. But that one man may shine, that he may say "See what I have accomplished, and behold my power," the business league is to be thrown into the vortex of partisan strife, its possibilities are to be sacrificed, its dignity destroyed, and the whole race in this state of whom it is the only representative body, is to be put to shame by the spectacle of it going a begging. Poverty is no disgrace and not a Negro but deprives himself of many things he cannot afford, and the league can do likewise rather than be so ignobly regaled with pleasure. It is possible that Mr. Booze did not see the consequences of his using the league as a worthy charity, we hope he did not. But result follows cause and for the future the outcome will be the same whatever his motive. The free participation of persons not in business, in the sessions of the league is already carrying the limits of safety and security from partisan and selfish ends, as far as good sense will permit. To permit it to be a source of graft, no matter what the intent, is to destroy it. GAEATEST MEETING YET. Bishop Abraham Grant and wife were in the city Saturday and Sunday en route to Spokane, where he will preside over the Puget Sound conference. He spoke at Shorter and Campbell churches Sunday with all his wonderful eloquence and power. He was visited while here by Rev. Owens of Pueblo. He had just come from the National Business League, which he characterized as the greatest meeting yet and one which would have an energizing effect on the western people who attended.

The rite of confirmation will also be administered. It is always worth while to hear the bishop, so be present. August pledges for the Rector's fund will be due. Communicants and friends are urged to be in their seats before the appointed hour. Rev. Father Streator will celebrate the Holy Communion at 7:30 a.m. as usual. This festival always marks the close of the summer season, and the beginning of greater activity in the church life. We're Not "So Much" on Music. We boast of our "grand orchestras" of 60 pieces. Bah! When the "Creation" was performed at the palace of Prince Lobzowits there were 160 chosen musicians. The audience included nobles, artists and celebrities from many parts of the world, about 1,500 in number. Haydn, then an old man, was present. Dr. Cappellini, a distinguished physician, seeing that the composer was not sufficiently covered, asked for wraps; and immediately ladies offered splendid cashmere shawls, which were placed around the legs and feet of the venerable man. That was the crowning day of his life's labors. The director of the orchestra and many noblemen came forward and shook hands tenderly and respectfully with the great master. N. Y. Press. If the Sum Were Another Color. It is amazing to consider the possibilities if the sun were some other color. If it were blue, for instance, there would be only two colors in the world, blue and black; or if it were red then everything would be red or black. In the latter case we should have red snow, red lilies, black grass, black clear sky and red clouds. There would be a little variety, however, if the sun were green. Things that are now yellow would still remain that color, but there would be no reds, purples, orange or pinks and very few of those cheery hues that make the world so bright and pleasant.

Free from this world of sin and woe, But Oh! our friend, we miss you so. Robust and stronger than many that's left, How could it be, how could we guess? Death was leading with its steadfast hand The soul to the realm of another land, To blossom for God beyond the sky In heaven nevermore to die.
