FRANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN INSURE IN THE Commonwealth Life Now SPECIAL INDUCEMENTS REV. DYETT LEAVES DENVER NINETEENTH YEAR INSURE IN THE COM REV. DYET LEAVE When Rev. W. W. S. Dyett first came to Colorado 12 years ago, little did he think that when he left he would have been exalted from a plain pastor to the dignity of a Reverend, an elected member of the Board of Church Extension Society, a delegate to the general conference next year and held by his warm friends as a prospective candidate for the position of manager of the Book Concern in Philadelphia. For any young man to even live in a community for years without a blemish upon his character is a just tribute, but for a young man, touching daily the spiritual, moral and financial part of the lives and without the slightest reproach to pastor, a large congregation of men, women and children for years, marry, raise a family and then depart leaving an enviable record, the worst of which could be said is that he is a scholar, financier and a Christian gentleman at all times and places, is such a rare honor that many hardly appreciate it. In Colorado Springs under his wise supervision and skillful financing hand and guidance, Payne's Chapel flourished as never before; the King's Daughters, a literary society, was alive with young students and young talented visitors who made the church a recluse for their advancement and intellectual attainments. It was there when he received such a signal honor, a fateful gift of God, who has been the most pronounced factor in his later life, an impelling force for his unrivalled success—the marriage to Miss Ninerva Peck. Naturally he does and must always feel dear towards Colorado Springs for that boon, as a worthy, loving and attractive companion. After staying four years there and above the protests he was sent to St. --- DENVER, COLORADO, FRIDAY OCTOBER 11, 1907 Joseph, Mo., where he ingratiated himself into the hearts of the people that he remained four years and only by telling them that he desired to go because of the heavy pressure brought about by the bishop's demand that he come to Shorter. So, loyal even then, were they, so well was he loved, and so devoted did they seem, that they voted him a standing invitation to return whenever convenient. At Shorter his four years of work of itself has loudly proclaimed and even now sings its own praises. Having received over 300 persons, leaving money in every treasury of the different organizations of the church, and being successful in raising this year $368.50 dollar-money, the largest in some years since Phil Hubbard's time, and organizing the largest and strongest literary society in this state, the Eureka, an organization that is recognized by the Interstate Literaries of the West, and equipping the church with the latest dipping pool for the aspirants of complete immersion, also paying a $1,500 indebtedness off in his second year together with the improvement expenditure of nearly $4,000 on the pastor's handsome dwelling and the up-to-date modern church edifice with its beautiful interior so well protected by the most improved roofings and on the outside so carefully and strongly preserved by a fresh coat of waterproof paint, makes one to easily see not only the spiritual growth and moral uplife, but with what complete studied perspicacity, increasing financial thought and persistent efforts of business methods along the line of welfare and progress of the church the reverend was guilty of. So fresh is NO RACE Hon. C. C. Hamlin addresses the Sunday Forum at Colorado Springs, on the problem of the whole human race. Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen: It is no small pleasure which I feel at being permitted to address the Sunday Forum this afternoon, not that I hope to be able to throw any new light on those questions which are of primary and vital interest to you, but because it affords me an opportunity to voice my deep interest in the work which you are doing and to express my views on certain subjects which, while of paramount importance to your peo- O HON. C. C. HAMLIN, Colorado Springs. ple, are of scarcely less importance to the nation as a whole. Any matter which affects ten per cent of the citizens of our common country must necessarily affect and interest all. I have been requested to direct my remarks to the constitutional rights of the Negro. I do not apprehend that it was intended or desired that I should enter upon a review of the decisions of our higher courts through which the civil rights of your people have been declared and established under the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution of the United States. Those amendments were of as great importance to our colored population as was the Magna Charta to the people of England or FIVE CENTS A COPY SPECIAL INDUCEMENTS PROBLEM the Declaration of Independence to our Revolutionary forefathers and their descendants. Through them the colored man was not only endowed with those inalienable rights of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness," which he at the very foundation of our institutions, but he was elevated to the estate of full and complete citizenship. In view of the acrimony engendered and aroused by the Civil War it was no more than natural that these enactments were the subjects of bitter controversy within and outside of the Courts but the Supreme Court of the United States have dealt with the questions arising out of these amendments in the same broad spirit with which it has always dealt with all great questions, and has interpreted them with a view to making effective the will and intention of the people when they voted to embody them as a part of our fundamental law, until today your rights and the rights of your people under the Constitution are clear and well defined, and they are the same rights, the same privileges and the same immunities as those enjoyed by every other citizen of the Republic. When asked to define your Constitutional rights I could not better do it than to attempt to tell you what I conceive my own to be, for they are identical and equal. So were I to attempt to confine myself literally to the subject assigned to me it would involve a review of the entire Constitution with its effect upon and control over each and every citizen. This would be neither practicable or desirable, and so I shall take the liberty of fitting my subject to that which I have to say, and instead of considering the legal questions which have arisen under the constitution and which pertain to the colored race in the United States, shall rather consider the questions which affect the progress and happiness of our colored people as citizens under the constitution, and shall attempt to give you my views as to what has most made for the splendid progress in the past and what I conceive to be the principles on which you must build in the future. Citizenship is the highest privilege which government can bestow on those who are subject to it and to protect that citizenship and to make himself worthy of it is the first duty of us all. (Continued on page 13.) WILL COME BACK FOR CUP. French Rider Determined to Win Automobile Trophy. Albert Clement, the French rider, who participated in the Vanderbilt automobile cup race, has sailed for Paris. A few days after his arrival there he will enter upon three years of military duty. While in the French army he will act as special automobile driver to the general in chief, driving him on all military inspections, army maneuvers, etc. During these three years he is in the army young Clement will be allowed to indulge in automobile racing to his heart's content. He will be allowed time to prepare his machine for any race he may enter—in short, his army service will in no way interfere with his racing. He has definitely announced that he will come over and drive in next year's Vanderbilt cup race, and in his broken English added: "Next time I get it." Dreams of You. You'll live by the western sea, love, and the hills of azure blue; Leagues will separate us, dear, but I'll be true to you. When I sit by my lonely fire, on some dreary winter's night. And the flickering of the blazing hearts is all I have for light. I'll call up days that are gone, then, dear old summer days— Days that have gone forever, dear, and live only in the blaze. To close my eyes and dream, dear, when you and I were young. When brightness lighted up your eye, and love was on your tongue; That is the way I'll dream, dear, as I sit beside my hearth. While the snowflakes fall in feathery haze upon the darkened earth. I'll dream and dream of you, love, with your lovely eyes and hair. And pray to God to keep you safe, if I be here or there. —Thomas Colin Evans in Los Angeles Times. Advocated Beauty on Stage. The late John Hollingshead, noted in London as journalist, magazine writer and theatrical manager, especially in the last named capacity, had notions of his own as to what constituted attractions for the stage. For instance, he bluntly maintained that the selection of all ladies on the stage, except for the chorus singers, where vocal accomplishments were paramount, should be governed by a desire to put pleasing forms and faces before the public. His view of the stage was that, however it might be judged from lofty heights, it was not a platform for the exhibition of grandmothers and maiden aunts. If physical beauty could be got with brains and talent, so much the better. The free choice was physical beauty. Flower Weather Prophet. The marigold is a very reliable weather prophet.

Usually punctual, he was a few moments late, and by way of preface apologized for his tardiness, his explanation being interpreted to his "audience" in the sign language by an instructor on the platform. "When I reached the door," said Mr. Stevens, "I was stopped by a Jefferson guard, who told me that no one was admitted except deaf and dump persons. I told him that I was deaf and dumb and had a right to enter. "Oh, if that's the case, sir, pass right in,' the guard replied."—Minneapolis Journal. Her Original Scheme. She was very proud of her first bank book, and determined to make none of the silly mistakes she had read about in the joke columns of newspapers. There was no danger of overdrawing her account. Every check was duly recorded on the stub, and after every four checks a balance was correctly struck. "But how is it?" asked the man one day when looking over the book; "how is it that your checks always come out in even dollars? Do you never have a sum like $5.11 to pay?" "Yes, often; but I have a famous scheme," she explained, gleefully. "It's such a bother to add up the cents that I just make the check out for five dollars, and send the 11 cents in postage stamps."

Letchworth, the donor of Glen Iris, the magnificent 1,000-acre estate that has been given to New York, is the originator of what is commonly known as the New York system of almshouse construction. It provides different buildings for the sexes, with an administration building in the center, a service building behind it, all joined by a connecting corridor.

Ancient "Cure" for Madness. In the "Dictionarium Domesticum, Being a New and Compleat Household Dictionary for the Use Both of City and Country" (1736), is this sure cure for a malady which has in modern times been regarded as rather obstinate: "For lunacy and madness—Boil three large handfuls of ground ivy, shred small, in two quarts of wine till there is but one-third part remaining; then strain it and add to it six ounces of the best salad oil; boil it up to an ointment, shave the patient's head, warm the ointment and chafe his head with it. This is Dr. Wadenfield's remedy, with which a person is said to have cured 60 lunatick persons." CHOSE A DIFFERENT DAY. Homilies of Bishop Polk Had Good Effect, but— Bishop Folk of Louisiana, the "Fighting Bishop" of the civil war, had a neighbor who was an unbeliever. All the year round the work on his sugar plantation went on without a break for Sunday. The bishop, finding that religious appeal failed to move the man, brought to bear arguments from the utilitarian standpoint. He emphasized the laborers' gain from a day of rest, and cited the grievous results of unremitting toil, as shown in the impaired powers of men and animals that were apparent in France after the revolution. At last the neighbor came to him one day and said: "Bishop, I believe you're right about the advantage of a day of rest. I feel sure that the negroes and the mules both will be better for it, and so hereafter I'm going to knock off work—" "Good, good," interrupted the Bishop approvingly. "every Wednesday."

It was from Mr. and Mrs. Smith, formerly of Denver, but now of Salida. In this letter Mr. Smith informs the Commonwealth that he and his wife are now carrying in one of the Denver companies which poses as being very strong, but he is not altogether satisfied with the way that they treat their members when sick or hurt. After perusing the literature sent him by the Association he sends in his own and his wife's applications for membership and advises the Commonwealth that he has cancelled his policies with the other company. There is no question but what the Commonwealth's treatment of their members has caused their great success. They are now taking in more than 300 new members each month in Denver alone. This is a pretty good recommendation for them right here at home. BAKER'S THEATER. Cards are seen in many places announcing the opening of a first-class play house, under the above name, Baker's Theater. Mr. Baker has so changed the old Empire Theater that it's old and familiar appearance to its many patrons will scarcely be recognized. Thousands of dollars have been expended in making these alterations in order to make it more pleasant for the public. Many will remember the high-class productions and from present indications the Baker Company will prove a great success. There can be but one result; if the people who want a first-class theater will patronize the house. A great success. Mr. Baker and his assistant, Mr. Reed, express great confidence in Denver theater people.

"IN THE HEART OF THE WALL STREET DISTRICT." REV. DYETT'S GOOD-BYE the memory of the recent annual conference of Colorado, that a mere mention of the gift of a broadcloth suit and that handsome, expensive, elabby all the societies of the church as a slight momento of their heartfelt appreciation will recall how the Life Line and the Sunshine clubs, both outside societies, assisted so willingly and effectively in the entertainment of the city's guests. Mrs. Dyett, whose sweet disposition and amiability completely cemented the love of all the children to eagerly assist in the Sunday school and little entertainments to help their own soul's salvation, has been a silent, tireless and active worker for this success in spiritual and musical associations. As president of the Mite Missionary Society, she has doubled her last year's report and made an unknown record. As a musician, the children who appeared in the last children's musicale where the wee boys and girls had to be assisted to the rostrum, will be her signals of glory and honor in this community and upon whose little light countenances she indelibly impressed her loving personality. Sunday night a crowded house, complete and full to the door, including the balcony, witnessed Rev. Dyett's last message to his people. As he spoke his heart to heart convictions of the people whose weaknesses he had observed, a Biblical scholar could have compared him to Moses as he delivered his last sermon to the Israelites. Fifty dollars was given him as a small token of respect and recognition of his long and valued service. It would be impossible to tell all the true, good, loving and well deserving things said about him Monday night, yet it had the ring of earnestness and sincerity that it seemed one spontaneous utterance.

ANNOUNCEMENT EXTRAORDINARY Grand Complimentary Benefit and Eighty-eighth Anniversary In honor of Father S. Rice, of Colorado Springs, a committee consisting of the A. M. E. clergy of Denver and Pueblo will cooperate with the pastor and local committee of Payne chapel, Colorado Springs, to give Father Rice the greatest tribute of love and respect he has even seen in the long years of a useful life devoted to his race. He has served his generation as minister, soldier, and civilian and in each and all of these positions his life has been a benediction to his people. Now, if one grand effort on our part can make him feel that a Godly life and fatherly counsel is appreciated by the younger men among us, and if such appreciation transmitted in tangible form can so relieve his mind and inspire him that he will live to round out 100 years, then we expect to see him enter his centennial year. A banquet will be served in Payne chapel, Colorado Springs, Nov. 20, 1907, at 8 p. m. Some of the leading ministers and laymen of the Colorado conference will make speeches on that occasion, and the public is generally invited. See program later. Notice is hereby give nthat Ebert B.

C. D. FORD. Register. At the outset I wish to say that in my opinion there are no principles of progress, of moral and intellectual uplift or of material advancement that can be applied to any one race as against any other. Such principles are universal and not racial. The road which your people are traveling in their efforts to overcome the handicap entailed by a century of slavery in this country is the same road which the Anglo-Saxon race has traveled from the depths of barbarism and serfdom to its present position in the world, and let us not deceive ourselves into believing that any people or any individual has yet reached the end of that road, for perfection in human affairs is for the centuries to come. In considering the future welfare and happiness of our colored people we have come to look upon it and to call it the Negro problem. This so called problem has been the subject of endless discussion in the press, on the platform and in our serious thoughts and even in our literature. Societies have been formed for its solution. Mistaken philanthropy has directed its attention to it. Legislation has attempted to deal with it. I take issue with the whole idea, for to consider it a race problem and treat it so is to close our eyes to those principles upon which human progress depends; it is to ignore the fact that is gradual and not spasmodic; that the moral, physical and intellectual development of an individual or of a race of individuals must come from within and not from without. No race can be lifted; it must rise. To call it a Negro question and to treat it as such is scarcely less than an insult to our colored population for if it is a problem at all it is a problem of the whole human race and not of any particular branch of it. The things that make for your welfare and happiness are controlled by the same laws that affect mine. As I view the matter the question with you and your people today is not how you will attain the position in the world's affairs to which you aspire and which you are destined to attain, for this is attained through the working of fundamental, immutable laws. The question is how to accelerate and hasten this much desired end. To me who has observed the progress which your people have made and are making and have noted with more than passing interest their advance in all lines through their own efforts and unassisted endeavors it is a matter of no little surprise that there are still those who believe that water can be made to run up hill and that a monument can be constructed from the top down. Immediately following the close of the Civil War, when the country was torn and wasted by that dire struggle and before your people, just freed from the yoke of slavery and having had no opportunity to demonstrate their ability to care for themselves and their own affairs it is not surprising that well meaning, but mistaken persons should have come forward with plans to solve the whole question at issue in a day. Conditions then existing made such plans not only excusable, but commendable, for they came from those who had the welfare of our colored population at heart, and their mistakes were of judgment and not of intention. One plan which I will mention, as it has some bearing on what I shall have to say later, was that of transporting our entire colored population back to the country from which its race had originally sprung. Impossible and unwise as we now know such a course would have been it received the support of many well intentioned men. Looking backward we now know that such a program would not only have been impossible of execution, but that it would have been the greatest calamity that could have befallen our colored race and would have been hardly less of a calamity to the country as a whole. In the light of today we wonder not why some such plan was not adopted, but why it should have been suggested at all. Surprising as it may seem that such a solution should have ever been suggested, it is a matter of infinitely greater surprise that today, when we have before us the marvelous results which your people have attained in working out their own salvation, that any one should be found advocating a kindred proposal, for such is the program brought forward and seriously advocated by some, which involves the colonization of large numbers of our colored population. As I understand the question it is proposed to set aside a portion of the public domain and there locate such of your people as may desire, under government supervision. In the first place the impracticability of such a plan is manifest, but this is not the reason why it should be rejected. It should be rejected because it violates the fundamental principles of human progress; because it substitutes collec- THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. tive for individual effort; because it places a large class of our people, endowed with every attribute of citizenship, who are working their way upward through the development and utilization of those attributes with which God has endowed them, on a plane with the blanket Indian maintained on a reservation and supported by the bounty of government. I am firm in the belief that this scheme, or any scheme directed toward the betterment of our colored population, which seeks to act upon them as a class instead of acting upon the individuals comprising the class is doomed to failure in advance; first because it ignores the fundamental principles on which the progress of the human race has been based since its beginning; and second because it will receive and rightfully receive the opposition of the most progressive and intellectual portion of the colored people themselves. All such plans have their foundation upon dependence and they discourage that independence, both of thought and action, through which alone substantial and permanent progress is at all possible. They involve a step backwards toward the state from which your people have so recently emerged. Those who are accomplishing the most in the advancement and uplift of our colored population are of your own numbers and their work is effective because they realize that to a large degree our colored people must work out their own salvation. They know that the laws of evolution which are moving humanity forward act from within and not from without; that it is through the individual alone that the race as a whole can be reached. They realize that their people can not be lifted, but must rise, and what they demand is not charity, but assistance; the assistance that brother owes to brother; man to man. This feeling is not the result of theoretical reasoning, but has been brought about by experience and observation, and, it has guided them in the direction of their work. And so any program which treats your people as dependent; as the wards of the nation; as suppliants for government bounty will meet and should meet with indignant protest from your best manhood and womanhood, for it must of necessity insult your intelligence and wound your pride. In the days immediately following the Civil War, when your people, after generations of enforced servitude and dependance, were suddenly given their freedom and thrown on their own resources, and before they had time to gain their balance and take up their lives under the new conditions it is not surprising that their ears should have been open to the sophistry of the demagogues who sought to ride on their backs. That the cry "twenty acres of land a mule" should have become a slogan to rally them about the irresponsible political trickster who sought through them to gain his own ends. During generations they had been taught to look upon dependence as their natural lot and to believe that they had to rely on the bounty of the master and to accept without murmur the little which he might see fit to give. Self betterment was eliminated from the equation for even though one might have unusual attainments, unusual strength, unusual aptitude for the work assigned to him it was of no individual advantage, but added only to the pleasure and profit of the master. So it was not surprising that the first impulse of our colored people upon being released from bondage was to look about for some one on whom they might lean; some plan which would relieve them from the necessity of providing for themselves. Some authority which would take them in charge; relieve them from the responsibilities of life and provide for them as they had been provided for under the old regime, and naturally they looked to the government itself, anxious to have the paternalism of the state substituted for the paternalism of the master. Fortunately this bounty was not forthcoming and soon the colored man found that his future must depend upon himself and that through his own endeavors and individual efforts alone would he be able to sustain life and take up a forward march. While he may not have realized it at the time by these facts he had won half the battle which he was to fight on his progressive march. Scarcely more than half a century has elapsed since the close of the Civil War. This is a short period—a period insufficient to make the average life of a man. A period which is as a day when compared with the centuries which were required by the Anglo-Saxon race to raise itself from serfdom worse than slavery to freedom and independence. To the colored people this has been a half century of struggle, but it has also been a half century of triumphs. The benevolent influences and deadening effects of a century of slavery could not be overcome in a day. Class prejudice and hatred blocked their path. Hereditary dependence hung over them like the shadow of doom. Ill directed legislation strove to do for them that which natural law said they could only do for themselves. Their first impulse was to look outside for those instruments of progress which were in their own arms, their own brains, their own hearts. They desired to run before they had learned to walk. The first and hardest lesson which they had to learn was how to progress, and having long been kept in ignorance through no fault of their own, the experience of others who had travelled the same road was a closed book to them. The question then is, as I view it, has the colored man learned to progress? Is he taking advantage of his knowledge, and are his methods such as will secure to his people the results which they are striving to attain. I am firm in the belief that all these questions must be answered in the affirmative. In watching the work which is being done by our colored population today, one is forced to the conclusion that those of their people who are giving to this question the most thought and attention have consciously or unconsciously discovered the key which will open the door to the future. They are directing their attention to the individual, realizing that in this way only can permanent progress be made. This work is going on throughout the length and breadth of our country. Probably the most conspicuous exponent of this principle is Dr. T. Washington and his great institution at Tuskegee, through his genius and devotion to his people, and their welfare always occupies a place in the foreground when these matter are under consideration, but the leaven in the loaf is working everywhere and what is being done at Tuskegee is being done perhaps in a less conspicuous manner in hundreds of other places. This society which it is my privilege to address today and hundreds of others organized on like principles and devoted to like purposes are occupying a large place in this work. You meet here together, you exchange ideas. You invite the ideas of others, and as result each is brought to a consideration of these questions and to view them sanely for his own benefit and that of his people. At the close of the war, the colored man worked only with hands. In half a century since that time he has fought his way into the professions, he has become to a large degree the teacher of his own people. He has shown his ability as a servant of the government in positions of responsibility. In banking, in trade and in manufacture he is forging to the front. He is leaving his impress on our literature. What then do those people want who are seeking for some new panacea for this problem which exists only in the imagination? what do they expect? Let them look at the history of their own race in its struggle for freedom and for moral and material uplift and see if during the days when the results of servitude and dependence hung heavily upon them their people made as much progress as has yours in the same length of time. Yes, Ladies and Gentlemen, I believe that you and your people are working on the right line; upon the lines along which alone substantial and lasting results can be achieved. What you have already accomplished is almost beyond belief when viewed in the light of the handicap under which you have been compelled to work, and it should give you every encouragement in pushing forward to your manifest destiny. What our colored people need, and what I believe they know they need, is to be let alone save insofar as others can help them to help themselves and I am absolutely satisfied in my own mind that your people have no worse enemy than those who, no matter how laudable their motive, would lead you back over the road they have been traveling, and seek to teach them that the government can do for them that which the experience of all time tells us they can only do for themselves. The whole theory of colonization is based upon the supposition that the colored race is by nature dependent. That they are incapable of caring for themselves and their own. That their happiness and future depends upon the guardianship and protection which the Government shall extend to them. That they are children who need a parent who shall guide their footsteps that they may be prevented from falling. These were the arguments which were advanced in attempting to justify slavery. These reasons were urged when it was attempted to withhold the privileges of complete citizenship. I trust the day may never come when the intelligence of the colored race will assent, either by word or by action, to the soundness of any such proposition, for then indeed will their lot be hopeless. The paternalism of the government differs only in degree from that exercised by the master, and both alike deaden and destroy the personal ambition, the personal pride and the personal effort, which is essential to every man if he seeks to take his place among his fellows. Take from the most intellectual race a given number of persons and isolate them. Remove from them the necessity of work. Make them feel that their welfare is being looked after by another and that their material well being is not a matter of PAGE 13. self concern and their retrogression will be as sure as the laws of gravitation. If this is true how much more true is it with a people in whom the instinct of self reliance was smothered for over a century of enforced servitude. It took many years of freedom before these seeds of self reliance and self assertiveness began even to sprout and will you cut the plant down in its bloom and just as it is to bear its best fruit? I believe that the intelligence and manhood of your people will answer such a proposal with an indignant protest. I believe you will say "help us to help ourselves, but do not do violence to our manhood and our womanhood by looking upon us and treating us as dependants. All we ask is the same opportunity that your people had in their struggle for advancement and we can then be depended upon to take care of ourselves." I may express myself too strongly upon this question; I may carry my views of individualism too far, but if there is one thing which my own experience and my own observation has made me to see and believe more clearly than another it is that personal initiative is the mainspring of human progress and that races advance only through and by virtue of the advancement and development of the individuals composing them. Another reason why I am opposed to any scheme which is directed to the mass of your people rather than to the individual is that experience has shown that your people progress, develop and become independent more readily when thrown in close contact with the white race. I think this is evidenced by the fact (and I feel it to be a fact) that the condition of the colored race is much better in the north than it is in the south. I believe this is because your people are here met with more consideration; their rights are respected and protected; you have constantly before you the encouragement and example of a people which has overcome the handicap under which you have been working. In our churches, in our schools and in our universities no odious discriminations are indulged in against you. The whole environment is better suited to inflame your ambition and inspire your energies. Here you are free moral agents in the full sense of that term; here you are citizens endowed in fact as well as in name with all the privileges and all the responsibilities which that term implies. The more isolated any portion of your people shall become the less chance will these elements have to exercise their beneficial influence. To bring endeavor every person must have before him something to which he aspires. It is always the example set for us by others that inspires us to climb. There is no man who can not learn from others and to have before us an inspiring model is an infinite help in our struggle for those things to which our ambition leads us. It has never been thought necessary to bring forward colonization or other kindred plan for the aid and betterment of the Negro in the North. The reason for this is that he has broken away from the influences which are holding his brother back and has worked out his own salvation. He has worked it out as all his people must work it out; in the one way by which it can be worked out at all. By application, by work and by individual effort. The same influences which have brought about his moral, intellectual and mental unbuilding are at work among his brothers in the South, and while the conditions there are not as favorable as here, and as a consequence, there progress will be slower than with you, still in both places a natural law is working to a certain end; this law may be retarded by human agencies, but it can not be stopped. Involuntary servitude was not new at the time of the Civil War; it is not a creature of a century or of two centuries. It is as old as the human race. No people have been wholly free from its baneful influences. The slavery of the villein or serf under the early Saxon and Norman kings in England was not less real nor less hopeless than that of your people prior to the emancipation. Men were bound to the land and sold with the land, and not only their substance and their welfare, but even their lives depended upon the caprice of the over-lord and master. It took centuries of struggle; centuries of unrequited toil; centuries of sacrifice and patience; centuries of self assertion before they were able to gain for themselves the independence, the opportunities and the privileges of freemen. When they commenced to assert themselves and to claim their rightful place among their brothers their lot was less hopeful and contained less of promise than that of your people at the close of the Civil War, and their progress was slower and the effect of their efforts less apparent in the same length of time than yours have been since the day when your countrymen endowed you with the rights of citizenship. The problem which they met and solved are the same problems which you are today meeting and solving, and you must solve them in the same way, for the principles which control the (Continued on page 16) ier cec «THE Jessic Nickens Reese Modern Vaudeville AND »@haritv Ball.

Whatever advantages there may be as between your situation and theirs are entirely in your favor, for you have before you the experience, the wonderful development, and the material progress of the centuries that have come and gone since the masses of the Anglo-Saxon race commenced their fight for individual freedom and for the right of every man to have and enjoy the fruits of his own exertions. I say that the colored problem, if I may be excused for so calling it, has been solved and the work now remaining will be in the bringing of that solution home to every individual member of your race. The work will at times seem distressingly slow; it will require endless patience and self sacrifice, but it will succeed, or it is founded on sound principles and guided by correct methods. So I say to you carry through your work along the lines already laid down; build your edifice with the instruments and materials at hand; do not be mislead by false gods nor made to believe that your aspirations can be achieved or your destiny realized along any lines other than those which have marked the progress and development of other people. Your work of the past is earnest for what you will do in the future. For you and your people the coming years offer nought but hope and promise. The critical period in your progress and development has been passed. Continue the work which you are doing earnestly and bravely and all will be well. C. A. Franklin is doing jury service this week.

After an accident to the flywheel in a large European electric station the superintendent designed and had constructed a flywheel of wood which has a diameter of 65 feet and a rim width of ten feet. The thickness of the rim is about 12 inches and it is made up of 44 thicknesses of beech planks with staggered joints. The boards were glued together and then bolted. The inside consists of a double wheel, the 24 spokes of which are fastened to two hubs. Spokes and hubs are operated at 76 revolutions a minute, which corresponds to a peripheral speed at the rio of 139 feet a second. --- THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORAD Gear Tricks Resorted To to Make the Brain Active. "Fenimore Cooper couldn't write unless he had gum drops to chew," said a librarian. "He bought gum drops in ten-pound and twenty-pound lots. As some men are the slaves of tobacco, wine or opium, so poor Cooper was the gum drop's slave. Without it he couldn't write a line. "Chateaubriand dictated his works in his bare feet. Elegantly attired down to the ankles, he padded softly up and down the floor, his thin white extremities very conspicuous on the dark rugs. "Gluck could only compose in the open air. When the spirit of composition took hold of him he dragged his piano out upon the lawn, and then, in rain or shine, in snow or hail, in August or December, the master evolved his beautiful harmonies. "Bossuet worked with a hot cloth bound round his head. Balzac in a monk's hood, Gautier in a scarlet cloak and Milton in a brown robe. Lord Derby when he wrote ate brandied cherries. Byn, writing, ate truffea. "This collection of facts," concluded the librarian, "goes to prove that men of genius, like the rest of us, are silly in some things." Avoid the Mountains. "You never saw a cat bathing in the sea. You never saw a tramp in a mountainous country. Each spectacle is of equal rarity." The speaker, a geologist, smiled. "I know what I am talking about." he said. "In quest of geological truths I have traveled the country over many times, and I have yet to find a tramp among the mountains Tramps avoid mountains as they avoid soap. "Hence New Hampshire, Vermont and the other mountainous states are singularly free from petty thieving and from all such troubles as hobos cause. And hence, in those states it is never necessary to lock the doors or the windows. "Tramps avoid mountainous districts because the walking is all uphill there and because the farms are few and far between. A fertile and flat country with the roads good and the farms close together suits the tramp." Diminishing Scale. Grandma had an open hearth Equipped with crane and spit.

The cocktail bracelet is the latest for women. There are fashionable women of this city who wear circlets on their wrists which sometimes contain a Martini dry or a Manhattan, says a New York correspondent. The bracelets have one drawback, it is said, and that is they will not accommodate the cherry that goes with the fairy cocktail. The other night a Pittsburg attorney observed a woman of fashion place her lips to her bracelet. He thought that she was paying tribute to her own loveliness, but learned later she was merely refreshing her inner self with a mixture of cordials. The nip contained in a bracelet cocktail is so small that it cannot be called a drink, but a cocktail it is, nevertheless. Of course, the bracelet is hollow. If large enough it holds three thimblefuls of ready-made cocktail, and pressure on an almost invisible spring permits the fluid to trickle through a tiny hole in the gold shell, which is almost too small to be seen. With one of those graceful movements which appear to be natural with a woman the drink may be imbibed without fear of detection. A Broadway goldsmith sells numbers of the bracelets every week, and as most of the purchasers prefer secrecy in connection with the transaction they pay a pretty penny for the dubiously useful trinkets. Buying by Moonlight. "I made a queer trip one night not long ago," said the agent of a cemetery company. "I went out to the cemetery after dark with a prospective customer, so she could see how the burial lot under consideration looked by moonlight. The lady was of a romantic turn of mind. She had taken a fancy to a plot on a little knoll overlooking a lake, but before closing the deal she insisted upon seeing the effect of the moonbeams on the water and surrounding landscape. I had sold many lots under peculiar circumstances, but that poetic phase of our business was something new. The lady seemed to derive considerable satisfaction from it. Anyway, she bought the lot." Illiterate French Conscripts. Among the conscripts that Paris is sending to the French regiments are 160 illiterates, of whom 90 can neither read nor write. Who could suppose that la ville lumière could contain so many ignorant people after a quarter of a century's compulsory education?—Paris Figaro. Young Woman's Pretty Tribute. One young woman has named the beautiful teacups on her table after some characteristic of the donor of each. One she calls Loyalty, one Sincerity, one Sweetness. There is also a Jealousy, a Youth, a Hope, an Ambition and Luck. Bride's Leap for Luck. At a recent wedding at Holy Island the bride leaped "for luck" over an ancient stone that formed the socket of St. Culbert's Cross, erected in the ninth century. Had she failed to do this it would have been considered an ill-omen for her future life THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. Thought Ride Sufficient Reward. An official of the Brooklyn street car lines tells the following story: "There was a new conductor put on hurriedly one Monday morning, without being informed fully as to details. On Saturday afternoon as he was sitting in the barn, a fellow conductor said to him, 'Why don't you go up to the office and get your pay?' The new man looked up in surprise. 'What, do they pay you wages too' he asked." Went Long Without Food. How long can an animal live without eating? Last year a dog was imprisoned for 29 days in a rabbit warren at Guilford, England, yet was dug out alive. During the siege of Metz, in the Franco-Prussian war, a dog was confined without food or water for 29 days; while Dover records have the story of a pig which, buried alive by a fall of cliff, came out all right at the end of 160 s. Drydock Cut Out of Rock. At Port Florence, on the shore of the great lake Victoria Nyanza, which is the chief source of the Nile, there is a drydock cut out of solid rock by natives who had never before done much serious work. The dock is 250 feet long, 48 feet wide and 14 feet deep. It is 3,700 feet above the level of the sea, or nearly three times the altitude of Lake Chautauqua. Where Paris Is Behind. Despite all modern improvements Paris still heats its houses and its homes to a large extent with wood. Its bakers and confectioners use hardly anything else for fuel. It burns up whole forests of timber every year, and extensive forests in several regions of France are reserved for supplying it with fuel. The Law. Thou shalt worship the Almighty Dollar with all thy heart, with all thy soul and with all thy might. This is the first and great commandment; and the second is like unto it: Thou shalt love thy neighbor less than his money. On these two commandments hang all the "law" and its profits.—Life New Grand Opera Siegfried Wagner is just putting the finishing touches to a new three-act opera, a grand opera, upon a serious subject, it is said, and it will be produced in the course of April before the rehearsals for Bayreuth begin. The libretto is by the composer himself, and it has already been translated into French, as there is a chance that it may be heard almost simultaneously in Paris and Germany. An Unprogressive Institution. One of the most successful clergymen in Philadelphia," remarked a college professor, "was proud of the fact that he was always addressed as plain 'mister,' and that he possessed no degree which entitled him to the honorable name of 'doctor.' "An elder entered the clergyman's study one morning and handed him a marked paper. The item stated that the minister had been honored by his old college and that now he could attach D. D. to his name. "Well, well,' muttered the pastor, not without feeling, for he loved his college, 'my old school is a little behind the times, and still believes in capital punishment.'"

The Union Health and Accident Company is the only home institution that has complied with the new law by depositing with the State of Colorado ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS as a guarantee that the rights of the policy holders will be protected. There are many companies soliciting business whose resources are less than three hundred dollars, and more than twenty of them have failed during the past few years. It would appear that there is no chance of their success, in view of the fact that the people have their choice of a strong or weak concern, the cost of insuring being the same. STATESMAN-Oct. 11 Mc Union Health & Accident Co. Gentlemen:—I am today in receipt of your check for $32.15 in payment of my recent claim for illness. I desire to thank you for your promptness and liberality in the adjustment, and most heartily recommend you to all desiring reliable insurance. Respectfully, FLORENCE WALTER. 162 Filmore St. The Union Health & Accident Co. Dear Sirs:—I desire to thank you for your prompt payment of my claim for illness. The amount I received, $24.00, was a great help to me. It pays to be insured with a company that has the money to meet the constant demands for indemnities. Very respectfully, MAY ANDERSON. RELIABLE INSURANCE. If you want good insurance in a big, reliable company, we are interested. If you are looking for an inferior article, then we can't do anything for you. The Union Health has nothing but the best to sell, and the One Hundred Thousand Dollars deposited with the state is a guarantee to the people that we have the courage of our convictions to protect their interest by the deposit. HOSPITAL! HOSPITAL!! The population of Denver is increasing daily with sick as well as strong. The hospitals are so overcrowded that the managers of these institutions have decided that some persons must be turned away. So what did they decide to do? Why, close the doors to the black man, of course. What should we do to resent their actions? We, the Life Line club, say "No, don't lose time that way; just get one of our own." The members of the Life Line club have unanimously agreed to take the initiative. We are going to open a hospital here in Denver and we want the generous assistance of the public. Our first venture will be a real charity ball, given at East Turner Hall, Dec. 12, and we wish everybody to respond on that date and don't let's have anything else that night, but everybody come and help make this an overwhelming success. A full account will be published later. Watch for it. Mrs. Ophelia N. Harris of 1116 Campbell street, Oakland, Cal., is perhaps the wealthiest colored woman in this country, is expected to arrive in Denver next month. Mrs. Harris has won several beauty prizes in Chicago and the old country. Mrs. Esther Morris crowded a host of ladies in her parlors last Thursday afternoon at her fall opening of millinery. She displayed a large line of hats of various designs and prices and disposed of a flattering number of them. Her goods have the chic appearance of the Eastern designers and are "taking." Don't forget, Thursday, Oct. 17- Opening of the Eureka Dancing Academy, at Boumes Hall, corner Twenty-seventh and Arapahoe streets, and continues every Thursday night at 8 o'clock. First class in every respect. All are invited to attend. The city has been greatly honored by the presence of the Building Labor delegates, who came here to assemble in convention to improve labor conditions. There were men of ability to be found in those organizations, men of integrity and of wealth as some of the delegates have already shown. There were no riots, no disturbances at the convention and a great mass of business was transacted, all to the honor of those black sons of toil, whose slogan has been, and now is, "We must hang together or we hang apart, in the former we have all the world to gain and nothing to lose." Denver certainly feels proud of the men whose influence was responsible for the convention coming here. She bids them come again. DON'T BE DECEIVED. Your friends all carry with the Commonwealth Life and so should you. They are getting 300 new members in Denver each month because all their members boost for them and because they get treated right. The Good Books says. "Prove all things and hold fast to that which is good." The Commonwealth is proven by our four years' experience and today they have more Denver members than any other three companies. They pay full time for all acute diseases (a thing which no other Denver insurance company does), and also pays for death and part time for rheumatism, consumption, paralysis, etc. If you drop any other company benefits are good immediately. Ask your friends. The Commonwealth Life has over $23,000 assets. The Pleasant Hour Club, composed of the choir of the People's Presbyterian church, meet at its usual hour after practice on Saturday evening. We are glad to say that this club is progressing nicely under the president, Mr. Fields. After the routine of business lunch was served and all enjoyed themselves to the utmost. ARULA COLE. Secretary. ALLIE HENDERSON. Treasurer. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. I was in Alamosa, Colo., Sunday, Sept. 29, 1907, organized a church of ten members, and started a very hopeful movement to secure a church! One good thing in our favor is that the mayor of the city and other prominent citizens stand pledged to do all they can to secure a church. Mr. Ed Hayden, our popular chair car porter, did us good service. Alamosa is a coming town. Five young men recently from Pueblo, went up and bought some ranch lands. Mr. Mark Wright is doing good work in building himself a home. Mrs. Perkins, Smith and others are doing well. On Sunday, Oct. 6, I preached in Walsenburg and organized a church with ten members. The people of this town are loud in their praises of this place. I think I am safe in saying that we have here the wealthiest colored man in the state in the person of Mr. A. J. Steele. He is said to be worth $50,000, runs a livery barn, and has also much city property. The men of means in these towns are active in securing an A. M. E. church. Mr. Steele is one of our trustees. But our people in Walsenburg are for the most part old church people, hence we look for great things from them. There are Willis, Gooderts, York, Dance and others who are making an effort to secure a lot at once. J. W. SANDERS NOTICE To my patrons and the public-J have moved my residence to 3020 Welton street.

There is a growing demand at lucrative 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 Normal and Industrial Institute is so far in excess of the supply that we are offering special inducements to graduates of other schools, and persons sufficiently advanced in the academic branches to come here and pursue the courses in agriculture, including practical farm work, dairying, livestock raising, etc. An opportunity will be given a few earnest young men to work out all of their board while taking a course.

The doctor and his wife had lived together four years. She was a widow when he met her. He was a physician of note. Their life together was a happy one and no quibbling had entered the home to set a bad example for their hopeful. But the wife had a reputation as a wit. Her witticisms and little sarcastic remarks were known far and wide. Her friends had all heard of them. They had all felt the sting of them. The physician had been working with a hard case. He had spent day and night at the home of his patient and had won the fight for life. And he was accordingly well satisfied with himself. On his arrival home one evening he turned to his wife, saying: "You see, wifey dear? I have pulled my patient through. He is now well on the road to recovery." "Yes, hubby, dear," returned the wife. "But you are such a perfect master of your profession. You are so successful. Ah, I wish that I had met you five years sooner than I did. Then my poor, dear Billy would never have died."

When the congregations of all the various churches, assisted by their pastors, were helping Rev. Ford to make this trip across the deep, some never expected to reap any returns for the money invested, while others seemed skeptical. But last Thursday night when a crowded house gave the Reverend a grand ovation they, with him, left the Union Depot at Denver and hurriedly returned in the same night from that long voyage without becoming sea-sick or even dizzy. No other person could have told so much in such a way with such a flowing style as did the Reverend except it was he in his own peculiar manner. Leaving New York for Boston, from where the Sunday school party was to sail, they arrived just in good season, although previous arrangements had been made for their stations, etc., to find out that first class equipments could not be secured to colored persons on any of the lines. With him, we felt humiliated, disgraced chagrined, but all the more determined to go, despite the ship leaving the next day. So we returned to New York and saw the international secretary of the World's Missions, who advised us how to purchase our tickets and make a point on the discriminating companies, but urged us, after we had given him the money to purchase our passage, not to show up on the platform until fifteen minutes before leaving time, which orders we carefully followed. We got on the liner bound for Naples, Italy, with first-class staterooms, etc., as our asset and convenience and the leaving of the shore, the ringing of the gongs, the pulling of the ropes, the loosening of the anchors, the bidding of farewell to thousands on the shore to thousands upon the ship, the slifting and turning of the ship by the little tugs pulling her in deep water and each of the bands, one on the shore responding to the one on the ship, making such a lively scene as a far Westerner never before witnessed, all these and many more we experienced as the land became to grow as a mere dot in the far horizon. Such an experience of 11 days' nothing but water, seasickness and the horrid smell of well cooked and delicious foods. Cape Verde Islands received the 11 day's mail from the steamer 5 miles distant.

Then passing beneath the colossal, gigantic Gibraltar that commands the opening to the Mediterranean sea our ship looked like a beetle in a pond. Then the pleasure of visiting Spain, seeing all nations and understanding none except those of your own country, makes one indeed a stranger in a strange land. Their characteristic shrewdness in the market places, and untrustworthiness as carriers of your luggage, their extreme willingness to serve you and at the same time to rob you, makes one very careful and observing. Then visiting Rome, Naples, after having crossed the Bay of Biscay and passed Corsica, the home of Napoleon, and Pompey's prey of the robbing pirate in his time, going over to Tunis, Algeria and Morocco, and being on the swarthy shores of Africa, returning to Italy only to be rushed 300 miles on the latest improved railway in 8 hours in the cars in which the conductors lock you and seeing how polite, how courteous, how considerate the native works for tips will make you feel like you hate your native home and wish to stay in these parts forever. In Paris a visit to the colony of American Negroes composed of Mme. Hackley, Henry O. Tanner, Mr. and Mrs. Funniss, et. al., will show you what aristocratic, intelligent and deserving people of color can do. It was here that Mme. Hackley announced she would come to Denver in her series of national engagements and make a special call upon the club that bears her name. It would take books to publish what we saw and heard in Rome, the founding of Rome, Caterlus, Cicero, Cataline, Brutus and Julius Caesar, the appian way, the Roman forum, the view of the city on Seven Hills, the dungeon in which Paul was imprisoned, the colossal and enduring temples built in the Doris, lonic and Corinthian styles, the sight of the buried city of Herculean and Pompey just directly beneath rumbling Vesuvius, all these and more would fill volumes. To think that 15 cents could make such a trip seems almost incredible. The audience was greatly indebted to the Reverend for his stop while en route to other cities in the Middle West. Those who failed to hear such a lecture, to make such a voyage, failed to reap a great part of useful and valuable information. The lecture was one of the most enjoyable lectures ever given in Denver and many have wished the Reverend to soon return and repeat it.

COLORADO SPRINGS LOCALS Last week the W. C. T. U. met at the home of Mother Fairbanks on East Cucharrast street. An interesting business meeting was held.

Henderson, first vice president; Mrs. Holmes and Mrs. A. King, second and third vice presidents; Mrs. L. Watson, financial secretary; Mrs. A. Whittaker, assistant secretary; Mrs. C. Fleming, recording secretary; Mrs. Alexander, treasurer. The meeting was well attended and the reports fro msuperintendents of departments were encouraging indeed. The first Sunday in the month, which is ladies' day at the Men's Sunday Forum, accounts for the large enthusiastic audience which greeted the speakers this past Sunday. The committee having the program in charge feel greatly encouraged in their undertaking. District Attorney C. C. Hamlin delivered an interesting address on Constitutional Rights of the Negro. Mr. D. B. Farr's remarks were of interest. He discussed with logic and vigor the faulty, the mistakes, the calamitous, hurtful reins prevailing and accepted on come very grave issues. Gà, Dear! Oh, Dear! Were you at the theater Monday night? The show did not arrive in town until 8:30 o'clock, and you know we were there promptly at 8:15. We sat there until 10 o'clock before the curtains went up. Oh, the fashionables were out. About everybody you knew were scattered through the audience. Some were very nervous and some of them enjoyed waiting the two hours. Oh, but the show was fine. Oh, yes, we walked home, but somehow, do you know, I didn't care much. I rather enjoyed it. What was the name of the play? The Royal Chef—as the reporter received it. The W. C. T. U. will meet at Mrs. A. L. Whittaker's next Wednesday, 510 East Huerfano street. Mrs. Nellie Earl Childers entertained at dinner Sunday as a courtesy to Mrs. Marshall and Mrs. Ritter, who THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. left Wednesday for their home in Kentucky. The clever hostess departed from the custom of using cut flowers as a table adornment and an immense large pot fern lent its charm to the attractive board. It was an exquisitely arranged dinner. The members of the dinner party were Mrs. Marshall, Mrs. Ritter, Mrs. Whittaker and Misses Crowles, Piper and Mr. P. S. Simpson. Mr. John Crawford of Americas, Georgia, is here health seeking. He is stopping at Mrs. Henderson's, 516 East Huerfano street. Mrs. Susas Powell leaves tomorrow for a two weeks' stay in Denver. MANITOU. COLO.

Mr Lewis Greenlee and wife, of Mustatine, Iowa, are the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Zach Badget. Mrs. Hillory Moore, of Las Animas, Colo., and Mrs. Sales, of Pueblo, were the guests of Mrs. Armstrong last Thursday. The little daughters of Mrs. Houston are still confined to their beds with typhoid fever, and the oldest one is reported very seriously ill. Mr. Fred Houston is also on the sick list. The most brilliant affair connected with the social interest of the A. M. E. church was the apron and necktie social given by Mrs. Zach Badget, the district stewardess, at Hubbard chapel for the purpose of raising the presiding elder's claim. Mrs. Badget was assisted at the tables by Mrs. Mary Green and Miss Susie Starkey while Mrs. Emma Davis presided at the neck-tie booth. Weinerwurst sandwiches and coffee and ice cream and cake were served. Soon the ties were all purchased and just as the social event seemed to have reached its zenith, the program was instantly changed to a literary contest, for which Mr. A. W. Vernon, L. Livingston and L. J. Starkey were appointed judges. Prizes were awarded to the three persons reciting the most witty quotations in the judgment of the judges. Many were the quotations recited and according the decision of the judges the first prize was won by Miss Bessie Vernon, of this city. The second prize went to Mr. John T. North, representative of the World's Manufacturing Co., of Philadelphia, Penn., and the third and last was awarded to Mrs. Prince, wife of Rev. Prince, of present pastor. Every feature of the affair was strictly second none and a neat sum wes realized. Rev. R. Wagner ,the newly appointed presiding elder of the Colorado Springs district, arrived in our city Saturday and was entertained at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Tyler. Sunday marked the beginning of a new epoch in the history of Hubbard Chapel, A. M. E. church. It was the first quarter in this conference and also the beginning of the presiding eldership of the Rev. R. Wagner. Rev. Wagner filled the pulpit Sunday at 11 o'clock a. m., and also Sunday evening at 7:30. At each service Rev. Wagner delivered an able and feeling sermon. The people showed their appreciation by a crowed house. One member was added to the church and quite a number communed. The following is an extract from the report of the stewards' report made in the quarterly conference Monday evening, Oct. 7: We, the stewards' board of Hubbard PAGE 9. chapel, beg leave to make our first quarterly report for the years 1907 and 1908. We closed our yearly report of 1907 under the pioneer and venerable father, Rev. John Turner, with gratifying results and since in the Godly judgment of the bishop he has been transferred from us to other quarters we heartily commend him to the sympathy and co-operation of the lowers of Christ, to whom he has given the best part of his life. May he live long and prosper and reach the goal in the world to come. The church and community at large is much delighted with the appointment of Presiding Elder Rev. R. Wagner, who succeeds our beloved Rev. Watson. We hope for him great success in his new work. By his appointment new life is given the church, which means untold blessings for us all. And lastly, but not least, comes the Rev. W. H. Prince, successor to the venerable Father Turner. Rev. Prince is a man well equipped for the great and much needed work here. The church and community at large welcomes him and may he enter on his new duties with untold energy and we, the stewards, voice the membership of the whole church in saying we stand ever ready to hold up his hands. To that end that many may be added to the church. La Junta being a central point of the Colorado Springs district the quarterly conference extends a welcome invitation to the new presiding elder, Rev. R. Wagner to make La Junta his headquarters during the time he be on the presiding elder's field in this district. With the Rev. Prince, our pastor, and Rev. R. Wagner, as presiding elder, we hope to accomplish a great work. Rev. Wagner left Thursday for Trinidad, where he will hold the quarterly meeting at that point. GUNNISON. COLO.
