COLONIZING THE FARMERS NINETEENTH YEAR Excursion Get Your Tickets COLONIZIN THE For the first time in its history, the business league of this state had presented to it in addition to the annual cal plans for the establishment of colonies of colored farmers. Interest has been aroused as never before and now the question comes down to whether we have men of enough energy and foresight to do good business. The past five years have seen the lands of this state double and treble in value, thousands of immigrants have settled upon the so-called dry lands of the eastern and northern part of the state and experience and observation unite in approving our getting hold of land. White men of means are cutting up large tracts and selling them off at a big profit. Then let negroes do the same. No one or two may have the means of purchasing a township, but the aggregate savings deposited in banks would do this many times over if we could interest only the negroes in this city. This class of investment presents all the security of any bank and at the same time gives the assurance of a big return instead of the three and four per cent. THE NEGROES OF THIS STATE NEED TO WAKE UP TO THE GRAND OPPORTUNITY OFFERED IN FARM LAND. ONE HUNDRED PERSONS POOLING THEIR MONEY CAN CONTROL AN IMMENSE BODY OF LAND, WHICH, TOGETHER WITH THE GENEROUS PROVISIONS OF THE HOMESTEAD LAWS OF THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT, WILL MAKE OPENINGS FOR OUR PEOPLE FOR MANY YEARS TO COME AS GLORIOUS AS THAT THE WHITES HAVE IN --- THE GREELEY, FORT COLLINS, GRAND JUNCTION AND ARKANSAS VALLEY SECTIONS. LET'S DELAY IS FATAL! PRICES ARE RISING AND LAND IS GETTING SCARCER! We are always talking about what we will do if we only get the chance. Here is the door of opportunity swinging open and not even calling for sacrifice. It actually offers sure profit to those who will wake up and do. Whether an attempt to establish a colored colony succeeds or fails, the land is always worth what is paid for it, plus the increase, and can be sold to anybody as a last resort. Let us hear from people with savings accounts and we will tell you how and where and at what expense lands can be secured. SHORTER MUSICAL. Prof. R. G. Jackson of Western University at Quimbaro, Kan., assisted by the prima donna of that school, Miss Sophia Fine, gave one of the most delightful and enjoyable musical treats ever given by any stranger yet in our city and received one of the warmest receptions by his admirers. This was the case where the university was honored by not only the teacher but by one of its own production, which gave the school a deeper grasp on our affection. To show the intense interest and limitless fondness of the Denver people for them, all the choirs and music lovers were out, particularly the Azalia Choral Society, which came out and sat in a body. So peculiar, so fascinating and so profound was the (Continued on page 16.) Monday September 2nd The colored Republican club which did such great work in the last na the peerless orator, Hon. W. T. Vernon, now register of the treasury, to this city on the occasion of its first emancipation celebration, is preparing to commemorate this same occasion this year on even a greater scale. This year is the 100th anniversary of the abolition of the slave trade and this centennary is peculiarly appropriate for the commemoration of the emancipation in this country. The 22nd of September coming on Sunday, the 24th, has been chosen for the date, and a speaker of national reputation is invited to make one of the two principal addresses, the other to be made by a Coloradoan who has yet to be chosen. A committee will seek to secure special rates on railroads that there may be a grand gathering from all parts of the state. Music will enliven the evening and all in all East Turner hall will present a gala appearance. The plans for the celebration are being made much along the lines of the Irish societies which make glorious the deeds of their countrymen for Irish liberty and keep green the memory of Robert Emmett and all the other martyrs of their cause by speechmaking, dancing and general festivities. Eastern states are already making this year one that will be long remembered for its celebrations and the colored Republican club means not to be behind in this respect. As plans are formulated, the details will be given publicity in these columns. EBRATION PROMINENT MISSISSIPPIANS. J. W. Jackson was piloting the dis- tributed party of Mississippi visit ors over the city the first of the week. They were: Chas. Bank, the cashier of the Bank of Mound Bayou, and his wife; Hon. Isaiah T. Montgomery, the founder of Mound Bayou; F. M. Roberts of Colorado Springs, the secretary of the Freeman Mining Co. and E. P. Booze of the Western Enterprise. They were callers at this office, after having met some of the distinguished men of the city. We learn that it is the intention of Mr. Banks, who is one of the most prominent men in his state and is vicepresident of the National Business League, to carry to the National Republican convention a contest delegation to beat the "lily-white" Republicans of his section. AN ENJOYABLE TIME. This was what Dunbar Assembly of the Commonwealth Life had last Friday night at their new hall, 1712 Curtis street. They served ice cream and cake to their members and friends to the number of about 75 who were present. A thoroughly good time was had and some visitors from the far South who were present expressed a wish that the Commonwealth would open an office and institute an Assembly in their section as the word of the prompt payment of sick benefits had already reached them. Next Friday night Dunbar Assembly meets again and gives a prize of hand-painted china to the members present. All should turn out to the meetings as this is something worth having. --- Some thing to Be Gained. "Moses," he said to the old colored man around the warehouse, "I hear that you have a son in Chicago." "Yes, sah, my son Peter has done one to college, sah," was the proud reply. "Going to make a great man of him, eh?" "I dunno how great Peter will done turn out, sah, but I reckon if he stays in dat college long 'nuff he'll come home and be able to tell a pullet from a rooster in de darkest night and not make so many mistakes—Chicago Iowa. ```markdown ``` Awkward Thing to Do. Good humor was restored to a school room in one of the public schools of the city the other day by an impatient speech of the teacher The young woman who had charge of the class had become exasperated to the last degree by the mischievous tricks of some of the boys. She was at the point where hysterics were to be safely predicted if some relief did not come. She looked up from her book and saw one of the largest girls in the room crouched in an ugly attitude over her desk. Her feet were stretched over into the aisle, and, worst of all, she was chewing gum. It was the last straw. The teacher sprang to her feet and snapped out: "Maria, sit up. Take that gum out of your mouth and put your feet in." The shout of laughter from the pupils cleared the atmosphere, and the rest of the session was one of the pleasantest of the term.—Philadelphia Press. Lagger's Queer Language. "Terms Used in Forestry and Logging," just published as bulletin 61 of the Bureau of Forestry, affords the lay reader an insight into a strange vernacular. Among the logging terms are some truly remarkable expressions. The uninitiated may learn the distinction between a "ball hooter" and a "boom r," between a "bull cook" and a cattyman," and find that none refers to any lesser animal than the logger himself. Among other creatures of the camp may be numbered also the "alligator," the "dolphin," the "dog," the "pig," and the 'road donkey,' all objects endowed with life by the vernacular. The "alligator" is a boat used in handling logs; the "dog," a short, heavy piece of steel; the "pig," a rigging sled, and the "road donkey," a donkey engine mounted on a heavy sled. Birds are represented by the "blue jay" and the "rooster," reptiles by the "anake," and insects by the katydida."—New York Times Here's a sigh for those who love me, And a smile for those who hate, And, whatever sky's above me, Here's a heart for every fate. —Byron.

He expressed himself as being well pleased with the quarter. We raised during the quarter for all purposes $114. Rev. Watson is a good Christian gentleman whom everybody loves. He spent last night in Victor with Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Cotwell, and left this morning for his home in Pueblo. A young man who has been in this city for the past year for his health died at the Sisters' hospital Aug. 18. His name was Harry George of Lincoln, Neb., and is the brother-in-law of Charley McDonald. Letters were found on his person from a person signing "Edith," supposed to be his wife, and accusing him of robbing the postoffice at Greeley, Neb., and also of killing two men at different times. Distinguished guests visiting our city are as follows: Dr. W. R. Pettijold of Birmingham, Ala., 217 Eighteenth street, president of the colored bank of that city. He informs me that has bank has a capital of $25,000 and $300 cash in the bank. The others are: Rev. W. R. Johnson, pastor of the Baptist church of Colorado Springs; Mr. E. J. Williams of Birmingham, Ala.; Mrs. Sidney E. Johnson of Kansas City, Mo.; Mrs. Gertrude Haynes of Lincoln, Neb.; Miss Ida V. Railey. Microphone as Fire Damp Detector. The fire damp detector of M. Hardy, a Frenchman, is an ingenious application of the microphone. Two pipes of equal pitch, one in the mine and the other above ground, are sounded simultaneously, and the sound waves impinge on microphones connected in series with a telephone. If both pipes are in pure air a clear note is heard in the telephone. If the pipes are in air of different density beats are heard, and these give warning of the presence of fire damp in the mine.

"There may be something in this going back to the old home, after long years of absence," remarked the passive loking old man, "but I don't think I want any more of it." "Only about a month ago. I used to live up in Connecticut. In fact, I taught school up there for two winters. After an absence of seventeen years the fit seized me to revisit the old place and gaze on the old familiar scenes once more. I thought over it for a week, and then got so homesick that I packed my grip and started off. I had only struck the village and began looking for changes when a lusty young man of 25 stopped me on the street and asked: "Isn't your name Bronson? "Yes, sir, that's my name." "Didn't you used to teach school here years ago?" "I did, and if you are one of my old pupils I shall be glad to shake hands with you." "I am one of your old pupils all right enough,' he said, 'but there'll be no shaking hands. I was a kid of 7 or 8 when you taught your last term, and on three different occasions you tanned my jacket when another boy was to blame. I swore to get even with you, and now the chance has come. Say, Bronson, I'm going to kick thunder out of you.'" Did Mo Have 'Em? Bacon—What beck, mes of all the bugs in winter? Egbert—You can search me! Yonkers Statesman. MANITOU, COLO.

Jones and daughter, Miss Hazel, who have spent the summer in Manitou, left for Salt Lake and points in California before returning to their home at Little Rock, Arkansas. Mr. Oscar Washington returned to Manitou 10 days ago to remain indefinitely. Mrs. Chas. Corpue and Miss Jennie Rolling of Denver and Kansas City, respectively, were guests at a small card party given at the residence of Mrs. Weston last Thursday evening. Dutch lunch was served at a late hour and all bid the honored guests good-bye. Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Carter of Chicago, Miss Lizzie Rezee of Quincy, Ill., were sightseeing in Manitou Tuesday. Mrs. Anna Carter was hostess Sunday for a small dinner party in honor of Mrs. Wm. Bettis of Wichita. Sept. 1st is the last meeting for Tanner Lyceum for the season.

There was quite a large crowd and the weather was beautiful. Mr. Wm. Simms left for Boise, Idaho, where he is one of the directors of the Porters' and Walters' Social club. His friends wish him success. Sunday, Aug. 18th, Rev. Walter Branom preached for the white people at Shoshone, Idaho. There were 500 people present and also on Tuesday night he preached at Nampa, Idaho, to a crowded house, and made a trip to Boise and is very much pleased with the colored people of Boise.

Prince Paola Trubetzkoy has nearly completed the equestrian statue of Czar Alexander III., on which he has been engaged for several years. Several times he destroyed what he had made and even now he is not satisfied, but the model will have to be finished soon, as the artist who is to cast the monument in bronze has already arrived in Paris from Milan to take charge of it. Trubetzkoy is the son of a Russian prince, his mother was an American and he was born in Italy, where he has spent most of his life. He speaks Italian and English much better than Russian. His statue, which betrays the influence of impressionist ideals, is to be placed in front of the Nicolai railway station in St. Petersburg. Reasoning Power of Animals. Men apparently conceive ideas from a "clear sky," but such genius could not manifest itself were not the mind already highly cultivated by much conscious effort—reasoning—and experience. On the other hand, animals and smallchildren become conscious of much knowledge by merely witnessing the intelligent movements of others, and in time, without thought or effort an their part, they suddenly discover that they also are competent to do the same thing, or, in other words, they begin to imitate. It is a general impression among psychologists that animals probably do not reason; they have no ideas as we have. A. F. Shore in the Scientific American. Organist in Church Forty-One Years. For forty-one years Christian Smith has been organist and choir leader at Zion's Union church, in West Penn township, Pa. During the greater portion of that long period his wife, who, when he married her forty-six years ago, possessed a rich soprano voice, has been a member of the choir, and it is yet an impressive sight to see the venerable couple stand by the open grave of a departed member of the congregation and sing a good old German hymn. Mr. Smith has led the singing of 1,500 funerals, the services at which were all in the German language. Provisions for Great Britain. It is estimated that between 550,000 and 600,000 tons of beef, mutton and lamb will have to be imported into Great Britain to keep the markets supplied. During 1904 Great Britain, it is stated, paid £17,669,618 for poultry and eggs, of which sum nearly £8,000,000 were paid for imported goods and £9,150,000 paid to home producers. Big Price for Mural Paintings. The mural paintings which John W. Alexander is to furnish for the Carnegie institute at Pittsburg are to be completed Nov. 5, 1906, founders' day, and the artist is said to receive $175,000 for his work. Kalser's Gift to Smoker. A gold medal, a pipe and five pounds of tobacco constituted the kaiser's gift to Prans Grunwald, an investate smoker, who celebrated his 10th birthday at Burg, Prussia, recently. Uniform Pank K P PICNIC Bloomfield Park Thursday Sept. 5 Admission 25c STRUCK AT THE WHOLE BUNCH. No Wonder Batsman Was Able to "Line Them Out." In one of the smaller baseball leagues there was a player known throughout the league for his batting ability, and, strange to say, he hardly ever faced a pitcher when not, more or less, under the influence of liquor. This caused much comment among the "fans," and one day, after he had won a close and exciting game by one of the longest hits ever seen on the grounds, while he was so intoxicated that he could not stand before the pitcher without swaying from side to side, one of them was prompted by curiosity (for they know that it was not altogether a "lucky" hit, as he had done the same thing on several other occasions) to ask, "How is it you can bat so well when you can hardly stand on your legs?" "Well," the player said, "I'll tell you. When the pitcher delivers the ball to me I can see about half a dozen of them, and if I can't hit one of them I'm not much good, am I?" PAGE 12 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." PAGE 14. Germany's Silent Soldier. Von Moltke, Germany's great soldier, was most laconic. His intimates knew almost to a word in what language the toasts allotted to him would be proposed. The health of his royal master would be submitted in four words or twice as many, because, as he reasoned, his hearers knew as much about the sovereign as he did. There was once a bet over a toast which he was to propose. The man who made it wagered that Von Moltke would discharge his task in eight words, or, at the outside nine. He lost. The old soldier tacked on the word "gentleman" at the end of his sentence, and that made ten. The College Yells of Wales. Wales is by no means disposed to bend the knee to America. The Welsh "yells" are fully up to the transatlantic level. The University of North Wales has a yell something like this: "Bravo, bravissimo, ray, ray, ra-o-rock! Ray-ray-ra-o-rock Ray-ray-ra-o-rock!" Cardiff has a somewhat similar "yell," while at Aberystwyth the cry is: "Hip hip-hur-aber! Hip-hip-hur-aber! Hip hup-hur-Aberystwyth! With a pip and a pang, and a yip and a yang. Yak! Yak!! Yak!!!" -London Daily Mail OFFERS BIBLE FOR TOBACCO. Aged Southerner's Exteremity Melts Heart of West Side Grocer. A Chicago grocery man tells of a seedy-looking individual, with the appearance of better days in his memory, who came into the grocery, and, in the accent of the old South, asked for credit for a package of smoking tobacco. This was refused. The old man, who wore an ancient silk hat and a long frock coat, turned away with a sigh, but returned shortly with a pained look and a copy of the Bible. "My name is Rust, suh—" "You look it," the grocer interjected. "I am a brother, suh, of Gen. Rust of Mississippi, suh, and not in the habit of making propositions of this kind, suh. But if you will take this book, suh, in pledge, and trust me for the smoking material, suh, I pledge you the honah of a Rust, suh, that I will redeem it in a very few days." And yet the grocer refused to part with the "noxious weed." Again the old man turned away and with a sigh remarked: "Well, suh, if you won't take my word nor the word of God eyether, I presume that it is best to close these negotiations. Good day, suh; good day." "That was too much for even as hard-hearted a man as I am," said the grocer. "I called the old gentleman back and made him happy with a package of tobacco, and I didn't keep his Bible, either." Church Holidays Mixed Up. In Constantinople three Christmas celebrations, two New Year's days and two other holy days follow each other in quick succession. As the "old style" calendar brings December 25 two weeks after the same day "new style," two Christmases, the first Latin and the second Greek, are inevitable. And as stormy weather kept a delegation of Armenians from attending an ecumenical council at Chalcedon in 451, at which council the date of Christmas was changed from Jan. 6 to Dec. 25, the Armenians have ever since kept their old day. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Temperature for Baths. A very hot bath is a strong stimu-ant, and should never be used by a persons in vigorous health. Ninety degrees is the limit of the warm bath. It is the highest temperature safe to use, and is almost as high as anyone would be likely to take it. But physcians often prescribe a higher temperature for certain ailments. A salt bath taken at night at a temperature of eighty degrees will often induce a pleasant sleep when nothing else will. It has a peculiarly soothing effect on the nerves, and will send restless tables tired with teething into a wholesome sleep. The best salt for his purpose is cheap rock salt. A Land of Lying Rumor. "Nothing can be believed in this and unless it is in black and white, and but little even then; the most circumstantial details are often mere fignents of the brain. The one-half one years may safely be called false, and the other half doubtful or not proven." So wrote Dr. Livingstone of Africa more than thirty years ago, after a lifetime's experience of the continent, and it would not appear that its character for truthfulness has yet underone any great change for the better. Good Scarecrows Wasted. A gentleman who had been at great expense to adorn his garden with statuary was much chagrined recently to hear an old man from the country say to his wife as they gazed upon the statues: "Jes see what a waste, Belinda! Here's no less than six scarecrows in this ten-foot patch, and any one of 'em would keep the gowns from a five-acre field."—London Hit-Bita. THE KING OF HARD DRINKS. Effects of "Ron," a Native Beverage of Panama. It is said that during the construction of the Panama railroad for every tie laid a human life was given up, but this is one of those romantic lies which everybody likes to read but few believe. There were, indeed, a great many deaths; some caused by legitimate disease and some by careless living, and many by drinking a native beverage called ron. This latter liquor is made from sugar-cane, and it is such a drink that a Scotch highball is pink lemonade alongside of it. Taken in small quantities, it prevents malaria, but taken in copius draughts, as some men use it, it produces life everlasting.—The National. Her Self-Sacrifice.

(Continued from page 1.) entire program that that feature of itself gave it all the more prominence. ‘he professor's organ work, to all the musical critics, seemed excellent, particularly his technique and inter- pretation. Plantation melodies and difficult classics were played and in- terpreted. Then came Miss Fine, whose very attractive appearance completely captivated the audience and her staccato singing, together with her sentimental and classic songs with each thought correctly acted, made her without a peer. Other persons upon the program did excep- tionally well, especially the dramatic reciters and descriptive readers. Den- ver showed how thoroughly she ap preciated this event by packing Shorter church, including the balcony, a seldom thing for a musical pro- gram. The Western University and the A. M. E. connection feel proud of their wonderful performers, who be- speak credit to all. | ‘Tis seldom that a Sunday night sacred service is given over to the laity, and when such a thing happens the laity must have a sacred messuge involving a reverent duty for the con- grégation to perform or be advised. So it was Sunday night, when Rev. Dyett gave over his services to Hon. Isaiah T. Montgomery and Chas Banks of Mississippi. The mayor of color gave the inception of the negro colony, its rise, and struggling efforts to demonstrate for the race that the negro had not only executive, admin istrative, but commercial abilities, to- gether with all the other elements of | manhood. A vivid description was given how the town had progressed by and through negroes alone, par- ticularly as to the criminal record, as only two murders had been commit- ted in 13 years. Then Mr. Banks told how the town was financed, the busi- ness, trade, mercantile houses, stores, etc., were only dependent upon the negro bank, of which he is cashier and organizer. One could see his shrewd ability to cope on the mart of finance. Both express their pleasure of being in Colorado and will come out again to assist us in developing Colorado. The choir interspersed the talks with appropriate songs, assisted by Prof. Jackson. The congregation felt very thankful to Rev. Dyett for the opportunity of learning such val- uuble information. On Monday evening, Aug. 26th, Mrs. Anna Bobo of 2125 Arapahoe street, entertained in honor of her son, Mr. L. D.

French provc"b: Mischief comes by the pound and goes away by the ounce At the Top. There is always room for jealousy at the top. Derivation of “Spelling.” There is some doubt as to the dert vation of the word “spelling.” It is Believed to be from the Anglo-Sazop word “spel,” meaning discourse of story, and the verb “speliian,” to de clare, relate, tell, as in “spell,” a charm, and “gospel.” However, there may have been some confusion with “spell,” a slip of woo@, since such 8 slip was used in old-time schools to point to the letters of a word, one @fter another, im spelling them out Mark Twain on Btiquette. “Mark Twain” at a dinner ia New York talked on etiquette, “I once read a book of etiquette,” he said, “and I still remember many of the rules. The most important rules were these: “How to accept a proffered cigar— Slip the right hand into the box, draw forth two, place one abesatly in the upper pocket of the vest, insert the other between the lips and look ia quiringly around for a light. “How to leave a room properly— Open the door, place one foot over the Gill, follow it up closely with the othe: And then, turning slightly, shut the door. “How to aceept a dinner favitation— Eat a light breakfast and no lunch. “How to accept an invitation t drink—Look careless. Say, ‘Don’ care if I do, and fix the gase on th: other side of the room while the liquo: 1s being poured tnto the glass.

WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE The facts leading up to the trouble were these: A young colored man named Sylvester, a clerk in a store owned by a colored man named Mr. Burton, was asked to pay a white storekeeper a bill of $1.25, which the white storekeeper claimed Mr. Syl vested owed to him. Mr. Sylvested claimed he had paid the bill and re- fused to pay it a second time; where- upon the white storekeeper engaged the constable to collect the bill, On Saturday, August 10th, the constable called and told Mr. Sylvester he would have to pay the $1.25 to the white storekeeper. Mr. Sylvester said he would not, but the constable insisted he should and drew his revolver. Mr. Burton, in order to avoid trouble, paid the money demanded by the constable. But the constable was not satisfied with this and arrested Mr, Sylvester, took him to the mayor's court, he was tried? and fined $53. This Mr. Bur- ton paid. Mr. Burton was here told he was “too upish” and would have to leave town. He was also told that this decree would be enforced Satur- day night, August 10th. In the mean- time, Mr. Uzzel, a colored editor of} Onancock, a man who owns his own establishment, his home and some other properties, making him worth about $5,000, had gone down town to mail his papers, and upon his return to his establishment was shot through the back of the head and in the right thigh, a bullet missing him entering Mr. Belote, a white man, who was going up the street in front of Mr. Uzzel. Mr. Uzzel was taken in hid- ing my a white friend. On Saturday night, permitting them to return to Mr. Uzzel visited the establishments owned by Messrs. Burton and Uzzel, burned them to the ground, and Mr. Burton barely escaped with his life. After this time the mob held its own way, ordering such colored people as it wished to leave town, and requir- ing the whole Negro population to leave the town by eight o'clock at night, permitting the mto return to service on the morrow. But the of- fense has been avenged—the offense of which Messrs Burton and Uzzel were guilty by accumulating property, living honest upright lives and help- ing their race on toward better things, Is this justice? Does the Christian manhood of the nation think this thing is right? Have the great spir- its which once stood for jaw and order in Virginia passed forever? How pitiable it is to see the first man of the state advising the strong to “main: tain white supremacy” against the un- armed and defenseless colored people, whose offense is progress. THE DEAR OLD SENATOR. On last Wednesday Senator Foraker spoke at Georgetown, Ohia, and de fended his every act like a man, de- clared he did what he thought was best for his country, justified his po- sition on the ‘Brownsville Affair,” re- iterated his views on the rate Dill passed by the Fifty-ninth Congress, showed he was right on statehood for Arizona and New Mexico, disposed of Taft on the tariff issue, and asked Taft where he stood on the question of human rights; what he thought about the disfranchisement of the colored people of the south, goaded him about his concern for the Phil- ippinos, while he neglects the ten million colored Americans, none of whom ever drew a disloyal breath, contended for quality for all men of whatever color, and held up to all Americans the reward of manhood. Senator Foraker reminds one of Sum- ner writing Whittier exultant over the anticipated passage of the Civil Rights Law, while Taft reminds us of Robert Toombs declaring the day would come when he could stand at the foot of Bunker Hill Monument and count his slaves to the Gulf of Mexico. At this late day, how can this thing be? ROOSEVELT AGAIN. Last week President Roosevelt de- livered a speech on the issues of the day in which he revived the conspir- acy charge. In the speech he said that the markets were unstable be- cause certain rich men were dicker- ing with stocks in order to discredit him, and consequently ‘profit ‘by their own evil doing. He failed to state the real causes; shortage of crops, reported failures of certain stable pro- ducts to reach the state of abundance hitherto reached, over-drawn surplus, reports of uncertainty in certain fields of activity and many other causes which are productive of stock depres- sion and affect the market values. The “conspiracy charge” is, or should be, beneath the president of the ‘United States. CHRISTIAN SCIENCE. Christian Science faith is undergo- ing a severe test in New Hampshire just now. But whatever else may be sald about the Christian Scientists, this much we know: those who are in chat faith are happy. _——— es FIRST CHURCH OF GEORGETOWN Reverend Edgar EB. Ricks is being considered for the pastorate of the First Church of Georgetown, D. C. We hope the church will choose Revy- erend Ricks. He is all a church can wish.

He had passed middle life and was walking calmly with the shadows as they fell toward the West. Quickly his after noon was dusk and his dusk turned into night. He passed alone; no friend was near to lay a hand of tenderness and love upon his brow. He was honest, loved humanity, believed in the creed of love and did his part, in his way, to add to the sum of human joy. Peace to his memory, and may the life of the "other land" be filled with more of peace and joy than this. DR. VERNON'S TRI-STATE SPEECH The speech delivered recently by Dr. Wm. T. Vernon at the Tri-State Fair at St. Joseph, Mo., was the ablest utterance he has thus far made. He dealt with labor unions and their relation to and duty in dealing with colored laorers. In this he touched the bedrock of the issue; for the time will come, and it is not far away, when the laboring classes of this country must stand together, on a common footing, against a common enemy for a common good. Labor represents capital; it is the bedrock of our national life and any effort looking toward the proper guidance of this bulwark of our existence and growth can but culminate in good to mankind. It is in such efforts as these that we are really helped. Nothing can be gained by narrowing the issue or compromising a single right or mode by which we are ever struggling upward toward the light In this case Dr. Vernon has shown real statesmanship and deserves our congratulations, although we have no unqualified approval of labor unions as they exist today. ENDORSES CRIME Mr. Clarence Darrow, the Chicago lawyer, who defended Wm. D. Haywood in Boise, Idaho, some time ago, has been severely criticised for the utterances he made while addressing the jury in Mr. Haywood's defense. It is said by Collier's Weekly and other papers that Mr. Darrow endorsed crime, exempting all men from punishment who hold a union card. But this is not the reason for the criticis of Mr. Darrow. From his strating point at the bar in Chicago until he reached the top he has stood for the human liberty of Americans without regard to race or color. This is why he is criticised, called socialist, extremist and revolutionist. But Clarence Darrow will rise above all this hypocritical screaming. He is a champion of human liberty, and in this day of materialism to be so is worse than criminal. No harm can injure, he is anchored to the rock of justice. CONFLICT IN THE FIFTIES. There is an irrepressible conflict going on in this country today, as THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. powerful, as awful in its consequences as was the conflict in the fifties. It but needs to be pressed and victory will come today, not as it came, perhaps, in another day, but it will come; and when it comes it will make of the American people what was promised in the Declaration of Independence—a nation of freemen, each man being equal to other men in all the relations of life. And the one great agency that is speeding the day of this realization is the Niagara Movement, which, when this comes from the press, will have made its pronouncement to the world; sounded in this dark-hour the battle cry from which there can and will be no departing. The Anti-Slavery Society did its work and passed; the Niagara Movement comes to do the unfinished task, to put down the heritage of slavery—caste. And DuBois is the proper man to lead in such a cause as this. For there never was a battle more glorious, never a cause more sublime, no victory was ever sweeter than the one that must come to those who are fighting so valiantly in this cause. Courage, brother, courage. OPIUM IN DIVERSE FORMS Devotices of the Drug Choose Various Wave of Obtaining Its Effects. Consumers of opium are not all of the same kind. There are slaves of the pipe, slaves of the syringe and slaves of the powder that is swallowed to give surcease of pain or of mental worry. There are those who take the drug in the form of a medicinal preparation, such as laudanum, paragoric, and the extract of laudanum; those who smoke it and inhale the fumes into the lungs and those who take hypodermic injections of morphia. The second class—the smokers—comprise the largest number of victims. Dr. Jelliffe of the New York city hospital estimates that fully 30,000 people in that city are addicted to the opium habit in some form. The annual sale of opium in Vermont is equivalent, according to the doctor, to a grain for every adult in the state, an amount obviously far greater than can be accounted for by its consumption for medicinal purposes. Some slaves of the drug take it regularly every day; others have periodical sprees similar to those of the alcohol drinker. Female Labor in Mexico. The question of female labor is becoming a factor in the business life of the City of Mexico, as well as in some of the other large cities of Mexico. Only a few years ago this labor was almost unknown in offices and stores, but every year the number is becoming larger. The wages paid to the young women are not as yet very large, but the prospects are that as they become more efficient wages will rise. but he was yearning for her.

Denver ought certainly be glad at the high class and intellectual entertainment given by the Woman's League at Mrs. Mabel Fore's residence Tuesday night. N. G. Walker won the prize, he having answered the most quotations. Such education should be continued and encouraged. Miss Sallie Rawles was elaborately received and entertained by Mrs. Ida Banks, Thursday evening, at 2213 Clarkson street. Miss Rawles hailed from Witchita, Kan. Again the People's Sunday Alliance was most highly entertained by a social and financial treatise of the problems of our day by Mr. McLauran, a single taxer. Many in the audience were highly pleased at the simple manner in which he treated and explained his subject. The next Sunday is business Sunday and much progress will be made. Mrs. Angle Brookins and Mr. and Mrs. James H. Byrd gave another one of their characteristic successes in the way of an informal gathering in honor of Mr. and Mrs. McAlister of Pueblo. Odd, quaint and old-fashioned games were played, among which were "button, button, who's got the button," "in the well," "clap me and clap me out" and "plate." Everybody had one jolly good time and were more than tickled to devour the toothsome delicacies. Last Friday evening, complimentary to Miss Lola Jacobs, who was one of last year's graduates, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Freeman entertained at a dancing party at Fern hall on Welton street. The hall is one of the prettiest in the city and was the more beautiful on this occasion because of the superbly dressed ladies and gentlemen who were gathered there. From eight to twelve was all too short for every moment was golden. This was golden. This is the first occasion for many months that this hall has been used for a dancing party and the hosts were treating their guests to a rare treat in addition to the usual pleasant features of social intercourse.

There is a growing demand at luc. rative salaries in all sections of the country, and especially in the South, for young men train in agriculture. The demand for the graduates from this department of the Tuskegee Nor- mal and Industrial Institute is so far in excess of the supply that we are offering special inducements to gradu- ates of other schools, and persons suf- ficiently advanced in the academic branches to come here and pursue the courses in agriculture, including prac- tical farm work, dairying, livestock raising, etc. An Oportunity will be given a few earnest young men to work out all of their board while tak- ing a course. Those interested can secure full in- formation by addressing BOOKER T, WASHINGTON, Principal, Polygtet Antagonioms. Nowhere else in the world fs there 80 great a confusion of languages. peo- ples and religions as in the mouatains and steppes of Caucasia. Her deep, closed valleys have taken toll of many races in their migrations, and the very inaccessibility of these moun- tain retreats has preserved types and tongues which elsewhere have long since become extinct, or has facili- tated the development of new ones. It has been stated that the number of distinct dialects spoken im the Caucasus is sixty-eight, and these rep- resent every stage of linguistic devel- Opmeat. Im these circumstances it 1s not strange that the antagonisms of Christian and Mohammedan, of Ar- menian and orthodox, should be in- tensified, and of all against a govern- ment bent on stamping out every race of independence and distinctiveness.— Philadelphia Ledger. New Coal Mine Danger. A rather unexpected danger tm coa) mines, as also in other places, has ap peared. In an English mine an or dinary 100-volt 16-candle power lamnr proved to be capable of causing smoke to rise within three minutes when !m- bedded In coal dust, and of producing flame within twenty-five minutes when laid on the top of coal dust. In other experiments heat was generated so rapidly that when the lamp was partly covered by coal dust, the bulb exploded in four minutes at 450 de- erees Fahrenheit, and at a certain point combustion was begun in the “ust and continued after removal of ye lamp.

Grattan Flood writes: Will you allow me to point out te you that the tune of “Yankee Doodle” ls an old Irish jig of the early eight- eenth century, well known in Ireland still as “All the Way to Galway?” Your statement that it was composed by Dr. Schuckburgh is a slip. You probably meant that he wrote the doggerel words, which is generally admitted, but he merely adapted his verses to the Irish jig, which was printed as “Yankee Doodle” in 1782, and was subsequently Introduced by Arnold into his “Two to One.”—Lon- few Truth.

His health had been failing him for some time, but he being en- ergetic and industrious, gave up only when necessity demanded. Mr. Suggs was one of the few men who believed in acquiring property. At his death he owned several lots in the western part of this city and in addition to this he had won the high esteem and good will of both the white and colored citizens !n his com- munity. At his funeral there were as many, or more, white friends present than his own people. Mr. Suggs leaves a brother, who is a prominent physician in Arkansas, and several other members of the old family tle. He leaves in this city a devoted wife, who is equally energetic and thrifty, as he was, and who is now managing the business quite as thoroughly as ho did. Mr. Suggs will long live in the hearts of the citizens of Colorado. Interment is in Evergreen cemetery, this city. Why help pay big rent?

The Democratic administration of Mayor Speer has made it possible for Denver negroes to show the largest number of employes in the Fire and Police departments yet in the history of the city. The mayor, as head of departments of the city, is first of all entitled to our thanks for the very fair use being made of the civil serv- ice requirements for firemen and po Nicemen. Next, and immediately re- sponsible, are Chairman Davoren of the Board of Commissioners, Earl Hewitt and D. A. Barton, members. This is not the first time that we have spoken of the treatment of our people by the administration and we take increasing delight in commend- ing them as they continue to show their fairness toward us. Chief of Police Delaney as the one in charge of the five regular policemen and tw half-pay men, and Chief Owens of the five firemen and one extra man, are incladed in our thanks, for their atti- tude toward our representatives in their departments must be friendly and fair for this increase to be possi ble.
