The Buckinghams' GOOD TIME MASK BALL Bourner's Hall Tuesday Nov. 26 FRANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN State Historian & Natural History Society NINETEENTH YEAR DENVER, COLORADO, FRIDAY NOVEMBER 22, 1907 FIVE CENTS A COPY COLORADOANS AT COLLEGE Under the leadership of Bishop Abraham Grant and Dr. Wm. T. Vernon, and a coterie of the most representative successful Negroes located west of the Mississippi river, Western University is most materially and healthily growing, expanding and blossoming into a national prominence, almost undreamed of in years past, and is making its uplifting influences felt and recognized along moral, educational, musical, business and industrial lines for the future betterment and prosperity of the Negro race. It is gratifying to all Coloradoans to note the part our old state of Colorado is playing in helping to bring this success to its full fruition. Few Negroes are acquainted with the leading part that Colorado plays along with Kansas and Missouri and other states in contributing money. trustees, teachers, students and a loyal and energetic host behind them to assist in speeding on this good and great work. For the information of our many readers who are interested in this great schol we have secured the following official data: Trustees from Colorado Conference: Rev. W. W. S. Dyett, Denver (now transferred to Omaha); Rev. A. M. Ward, Denver; Rev. J. C. C. Owens, Pueblo, and Rev. J. W. Braxton, Colorado Springs. Faculty from Colorado: Prof. Albert Ross, Colorado Springs, director Business Course department and secretary of Disciplinary committee; Miss Gertrude Della Clark, Denver, director Dressmaking and Millinery department and secretary to faculty. President's Secretary: Mr. George K. Williams, Denver. Continued on page 9 REV. WARD STIRS SCOTT Almost Turns Meeting Into a Revival. Whenever any church of a community has any kind of religious meeting the morals, spiritual growth and environment of that community is helped and advanced just so much. The tendencies toward a higher life is greater, the opportunities to gain better vantage ground is augmented and the disposition and desire to do the will of the Father is kindled by the incentive of the blissful result of happiness. Such was the case when Rev. Ward of Shorter, A. M. E. church, preached Sunday afternoon for Rev. C. W. Holmes of Scott M. E. church. With Revs. Brown, Payne, Ward and Holmes, also Father Cook upon the platform demonstrated the union revival spirit present. Taking his text, "He is the head of the body in all things that He might have preeminence," and pinning this upon their minds, he so forcibly, quietly and logically transfixed the single word "pre-eminence" into their hearts that the way for a religious awakening was made easy. Discussing the pre-eminence in Christ's pre-natal period and the unusual attending circumstances, he drew a vivid picture of the pre-eminence in the Christ conception as to the pureness of the morality and spirituality which contrasted so radically different from all others; then in His birth, by the low-liness in being born in a manger; by the pre-eminent traveling and visit of the wise men to see Him and the bright star in the east noticed by the shepherds while attending their flocks; pre-eminent in literature was the story of the Prodigal Son, pre-eminent while only a boy of 12, as he discussed great religious questions and tenets with the elders, but most pronounced when He was accused by conspiring governmental officers who desired him a prisoner, but Jesus had only to let lose one of his volleys of spiritual oratory and His enemies were forced to declare, "Never a man spake like that man." With his voice keyed to appealing note and with his finger pointing heavenward and casting his eyes downward upon the sacramental table, all gowned in white, he so urgently yet so lovingly explained the necessity of the celebration of our Lord's Supper, that everyone bowed in silent but reverent assent. "This do in remembrance of me and as oft as ye do it, you show the suffering and death of Jesus Christ," declared the speaker in an ardent tone. At this point of the service Zion seemed to walk about, men and women alike shouted "Amen," "Hallelujah," "Glory to God," because the fire of the Holy Ghost that had been kindled seemed to burn as if by spontaneous combustion until nearly every Christian in the house was giving vent to his or her feeling, either by a pat of the foot, nod of the head, clap of the hand or by a silent tear trickling down from the moistened eyes. Rev. Payne, with his urgent, pathetic, earnest prayer, so full of feeling, fervency and inspiration, rendered the time just right for the breaking of the bread which immediately followed.

N. ALLEN, | Gontinued on page 15 FARMER HAD PRIZE AUTOMOBILE RACE GOOD THING FOR HIM. Queer Little Instrument He Picked Up on the Road Turned Out to Be Excellent Labor-Saving Machine—Resulted in Quiet Night. Denman Thompson of "Old Homestead" fame was discussing with a party of friends the recent automobile race. "They hadn't any right," said one of the party, "to deprive the farmers of the highway which they are paying taxes for." In reply the actor told this story: "A few days after the race," he said, "I happened to be driving over part of the same course. I stopped at a farmhouse and asked to be allowed to give the horse some water. I got some good hard cider along with it. "What did you think of the automobile race?' I asked my genial host. "The best thing for me that ever happened,' replied the farmer. "What!' I exclaimed. 'I thought all you farmers were against it.' "Not me," said the farmer. 'You see, I got a balky mule that draws my stuff into market every morning. Yesterday morning that mule walked half way to the market. Couldn't get him to stir. While I was trying to coax him I saw a strange thing lying in the roadway. Sort of a rubber thing. I picked it up and accidentally squeezed it. It let out a turrible noise, just like one of those machines, and that mule started, me on the tail board, and never stopped till it got to the ferry. I brought it home and I showed it to 'Manda, and we squeezed it and squeezed it, and every darn chicken ran to the coop, every darn pig hid in the pen, every darn cow ran to the barn, the cat got behind the stove, the dog got in his house, and 'Mandy and me spent the quietest night we've had in many a day. No. Siree, of all the labor-saving machines I ever did hear of this is the best.'--New York Times. Not for Her. An English vegetarian proper woman, whereupon she delivers self of the following scathing word "Go along with you! What? Bead of your flesh, and you aliving on bage? Go and marry a grass wlow Suiting the Action. "How many new ideas one can pick up in the course of one's travels!" soliloquized the shoplifter, deftly concealing a picture hat of the latest pattern under her long cloak as she passed the millinery counter. Human Responsibility. No human being can come into this world without increasing or diminishing the sum total of human happiness, not only of the present, but of every subsequent age of humanity.—Elihu Gurritt. Truth from Uncle Eben. "Don't imagine, son," remarked Uncle Eben, "dat you shows yoh smartness by bein' deseltful. One of de hardest things in de world is to tell nuffin' but de exact truth an' still be good company." THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. Strengthening the Ankles. The ankles may be made strong and slender by lifting the body up on the toes 50 times night and morning. This will not only be good for your ankles, but will prove to be an excellent general exercise. Unlucky. "Some men," said Uncle Eben, "seems to get so much satisfaction tellin' deir troubles dat dey gives you do idea dat they'd be disappointed if dey was lucky."—Washington Star. Mrs. Knox, wife of the Pennsylvania senator, makes an cdd gift occasionally to some of her more intimate woman friends—a dainty packet containing five pounds of butter. Her eldest son, Reed Knox, owns a fine farm near Valley Forge and it is there that the butter is made. She furnished the butter for the president's Thanksgiving dinner. Acknowledged Expert on Diamonds. The credit of being the greatest diamond expert in America is generally awarded to Gen.

"We do not know what the Lord lets some people get hold of a newspaper for, anyway," is the way the Salem Capital-Poster puts it. And we have often thought the same thing, only in larger type, when reading and trying to understand the maundering rot in double-column doses of the Capital-Poster.—Irrigon (Ore.) Irrigator. Curative Effect of Salt. The curative effects of salt have never been shown as they should be Sore and inflamed eyes are relieved by bathing with salt water. Sore throat yields to a gargle of the same. Consumption can be cured by the persistent use of half a teaspoonful of salt in a glass of water taken just before going to bed. Right Way to Treat Boy. Expect the best of a boy, and you will not be disappointed. Trust him, and he will not fall you. Be true, and he will meet you half way. Be firm and exacting but kind, and he will respect you. Give him an opportunity, let him grow, and he will stand by you. Sun Slowly Getting Hotter. An official of the naval observatory at Washington ventures the somewhat startling suggestion that the sun is still getting hotter. The process, however, is too slow to have any but a scientific interest for the present inhabitants of the earth. When Tired Eat Raisins. Raisins, by the way, are now commended as a "pick-me-up between meals." One well-known London doctor affirms that a bunch of raisins eaten when fatigued is of more value than a glass of wine under such circumstances.

McLain's paper for thought, depth and yet simpleness in language was one of the finest papers read this year. The subject, "Relation of the Divine and Civil Law, was treated from an evolutionary standpoint. Carefully he laid his foundation by naming, defining, tracing and showing the evolution in the lives of the stars, suns, moons and satellites and of the plant, mineral, vegetable and animal kindgdoms by revealing to the audience that some great law or principle controlled and governed all, even man. Beginning with the nebular hpothesis, his ascent to man was easy. Law was a great rule of action prescribed by a superior in which an inferior is bound to obey. Laws in the natural world govern spiritual bodies in the spiritual world was effectively enunciated by him. He handled the subject well and yet so plainly that all the audience appreciated the manner of its presentation. In his argument he grasped the whole universe in his hands and surrounded his fingers with the great planets as he demonstrated the great law of gravitation divinely inaugurated for the benefit of all. He showed as long as even the plants, minerals, vegetables and lower animals kept under and within the law their progress, health and happiness was sure and secured but the least deviation or violation of one of nature's simplest laws brought down her wrath of speedy payment for the act. Some of the discussion grew interesting, especially that part of Dr. Alzamon Lucas, when he spoke of the relationship of things to man. Man being so selfish in his greed, has signally failed to note and become cognizant that things influence him as well as he influences things. Rockefeller influences money as well as money influences Rockefeller. Man is not All of God's creations. "The stone, the worm, even the bicycle of today is a something, just as important to God as is man. Demonstrating by telling if a woman loves a bird, the bird will love back, how sweetly he will sing, flit, etc., how well will a THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. stone love (in its way) when the proper care is taken of it, which is shown by proper interest or love. Love begets love, as like things attract. Man to be loved by stones must love stones. He must now learn not only what influences do I hold over things, but what influences it holds over me. Everybody knows that a man cannot hold to a thing without being held by it. And therefore to be held in love man must love, for love radiates love," said the distinguished reverend. It was also announced that Judge Ben Lindsey would speak to the mothers and daughters Sunday and an enormous crowd is anticipated. Come early to get a good seat.

The Azalia Hackley Choral Society have also consented to render one number on that propitious occasion of Whittier celebration, Dec. 22nd.

On Sunday night they gave a concert to a crowded house, which was highly appreciated.

In the 40 years between 1792 and 1832 there were outstanding notes of the Bank of England, presumed to have been lost or destroyed, amounting to £1,333,000 odd, every shilling of which was clear profit to the bank Life Made Up of Habita.

Organ to Save Woodpile. A number of years ago a village in the eastern part of the town of Middleboro was very much wrought up over the introduction of a musical instrument in their church service. At the final meeting when the matter was to be settled excitement ran high. One man whose reputation for honest dealings was not always above suspicion made a fiery speech in opposition. A neighbor whose back yard joined the speaker's could hardly wait for the close of the remarks. Then jumping to his feet without waiting to address the chairman, he said: "Gosh, sir, if I had known the gentleman was so afraid of an organ I should have had one hung on my woodpile years ago." Wires Need a Rest. "Messages," said a telegraph operator, "always slide over the wires better on Monday than on any other day. The wires, you see, have profited by their Sunday rest. "It is a fact that inanimate as well as animate things get tired and need a vacation occasionally. You know how true this is of razors, of automobiles, of locomotives—and it is just as true of telegraph wires. "A wire after its Sunday rest gives a quicker, a fuller and a more delicate transmission. It is like a plane that has just been tuned." Proper Coat of Arms. John Thomas Brady got in to-night from St. Louis. John Thomas stopped a little while in Pittsburg on his way here. "I heard some of them guys out there talking about getting a coat-of-arms," he said. "Now, take it from me that the only right thing for most of this bunch in the way of a coat-of-arms would be a set of burglar's tools properly displayed." — Washington Correspondence.

A portrait of the ten-year-old Milton, by Cornelius Jansen, the Dutch artist, shows him to be a typical Saxon boy, with a sweet face, a fair complexion, blue eyes, and short-cropped auburn hair. Later his auburn hair has become a light brown worn in flowing locks parted at the foretop; his blue eyes have turned a dark gray, lighting up an oval countenance. Know How to Stop Her. Every person who rides on an automobile ought to know how to stop the machine. The turning off the electric current that creates the spark is sufficient, and that is generally done by turning a small handle. Not a few serious accidents would have been prevented had passengers in automobiles been in possession of this simple piece of knowledge.—Automobile Magazine. Self-Seeking New York. "I wonder," remarked a Wall street speculator, "if people really do take me for a pair of tongs?" "Why ask it?" "Because a day does not pass in which someone does not attempt to use me to pull his chestnuts out of the fire. New York," he added after a moment's hesitation, "is the most generous place in the world when it comes to disposing of somebody else's money." BOULDER. Mrs. J. J. Miles, who has been stopping with her sister for three months, left Saturday for Chicago, taking her granddaughter with her. Mrs. James Clay accompanied her as far as Denver. Mrs. Lulu Courtney says her health is better here in Boulder than it was in Denver. Mrs. James Clay is suffering with quinzie, sore throat and a severe cold. Boulder is a dry town, but Sunday night came a storm, so it is wet and snow and cold. Boulder now has a colored Baptist church at Fifteenth and Pearl streets. Rev. Goodwin is pastor.

When I was disabled they paid me during my disability, while the _____, of Denver, with whom I also carried, paid me nothing until I recovered, when they paid me $10.90, and they compelled me to go to a lot of red tape to get it, but there was no red tape with the Commonwealth.

'Women,' as Hogan says, 'are creatures iv such beaucheous mien, that to be loved they have but to be seen; but,' he says, 'wanst they're seen an' made secure,' he says, 'we first embrace, thin pity, thin endure,' he says." — "Dooley," in Harper's. Good Comparison. William Dean Howells at a Lenten dinner in New York said: "I heard of a striking simile the other day. A lady was doing some Lenten marketing—buying eggs, fish, fruit. Pausing before a fruit stand, she examined a heap of pears. "Are these juicy?" she asked. "Juicy," said the dealer warmly. "Why, ma'am, they're as juicy as my old pipe --- PAGE 13. PAGE 14 M. W.

During a term of the superior court in an Eastern county the jury award- ed one cent damages in several suics, to the winning party. One morning when the jury rendered {ts verdict in oue of these cases, Dennis A. Maher, one of the best known jury lawyers in the city, said it recalled a verdict he sot in a cise several years ago. He had sued ¢ man for a claim of $1.25. The judge \n the municipal court decided agaiist his client, and Den- nis appealed to the superior court. When it was tried, the jury, the fore- man of which was & great friend of Attorney Maher, reversed the decision of the lower court, and brought in a verdict for $6. The court called the foreman up to him and said: “Mr. Foreman, is there not some mistake; the plaintiff only sued for $1.25, but you have given a verdict for $6.” “No, your honor, there is no mis- take,” replied the foreman. “We thought Lawyer Maher should be # lowed something for his vervices.” Timber for Wine Casks. “The growing scarcity of timber suitable for the manufacture of staves 18 a problem that confronts two conti- nents and in which all the wine drink- ing world, and therefore the civilized world, is concerned.” sald I. B. Gold- man, a stave grower and shipper of Liepe, Ark. “Timber best suited for manufacture Into staves comes from Arkansas and small portions of Louisiana, Texas, Alabama and Tennessee. The timber has been cut in larger amounts every year to meet the growing demand. Prices have advanced, of course, but the demand still advances, for no oth- er wood can take the place of that produced in our section. “Most of the staves are shipped to Barcelona, Spain, where they are ased in the manvfacture of wine casks. Both Europeans and Amert- cans have tried to invent something to take the place of the stave, but so far without success. Glass and earth en casks have been tried, but wine does not age the same in these recep tacles and it has quite a different flavor.” Indian Keeps (tis Pledae. Indian devotion to a pledge is not a myth; it survives to this day. At the May term of the court at Vinita Charles Boling pleaded guilty before Judge Parker at Sallisaw. He was sentenced to 60 days in the federal jail and to pay a fine of $25, says the Kansas City Journal. He asked to be permitted to stay out of jail and make a crop in order to provide for his family, and Judge Parker grénied the request, releasing Boling, wio is = Cherokee on a prom- ise to sppear at Vinita on December 1 to begin his sentence. No bond. of any kind was required. Boling was waiting at the court house one morning recently when the doors were opened, and is now in fail serving his sentence. He says his crop is gathered and his family is provided for during the winter. Women in Parliament. Protests by women in parliament were not unknown during the Middle Ages. Stow tells us approvingly of “a crew of stout dames” who had the courage in 1428 “to checke a great duke in open parliament.” “There was one mistris Stokes,” he procuude, “with divers other stout women of London, of good reckoning, well ap parrelled, came openly to the upper parliament and delivered letters to the duke of Gloucester, and to the arch- bishoppes and to other lordes there present, containing matter of rebuke and sharp reprehension of the duke of Gloucester,” on account of his treat- ment of his wife Jaqueline. “But what good successe their labours tooke, my Author reporteth not.” It Would Depend. ‘What would you say,” he asked, “if I were to propose a trial marriage to you?” “Well,” she replied, “a good. deal would depend on the amount of alt mony you were willing to settle om me @ the ead of the term.” Germany's Population.

The pastor of a church in a Jersey town wished to stimulate the memories of the children in his Sunday school. To this end he offered two prizes, the first to pupils over and the other to pupils under twelve who during an interval of three months would learn to recite the greatest number of verses from the Bible. A committee was appointed to hear the contestants for the prize and register the number of verses memorized. The first prize was taken by a young girl of sixteen who had committed to memory during this interval of ninety days 12,236 verses of Scripture. These passages covered the entire New Testament with the exception of two genealogies and included liberal selections from Psalms, Genesis and other parts of the Old Testament. The winner of the second prize was a little sister of the other prize winner, a child of eleven years She had learned 715 verses. During the contest some 19,000 verses were memorized. Husband's Best Points. A happily married woman writing to one of the household magazines says that the qualities she most admires in her husband are these, says the Philadelphia Bulletin: "A readiness to be pleased is one of his traits which brings much quiet happiness into our married life. In the management of the home he trusts me entirely, and though he may suggest, he never dites. He is seldom too busy or tired to listen interestedly to all I may have to tell him. Though he tells me his business vexations, he does not malme suffer on account of them, and is always ready to do the helpful little things that mean so much to a woman. In money matters he takes me into his full confidence and partnership." Phenomena of Lightning. All the phenomena of lighting and all its forms are determined, doubtless, by the kind and amount of resistance it encounters. Its light is due to the resistance of the atmosphere. Its noisy and often terrifying but quite harmless, accompaniment of thunder, is due to the sudden separation and reunion of bodies of air from sudden heating and cooling, and perhaps in part to the explosion of gases into which watery vapor is decomposed by the intense heat of electrical flashes, the result of such explosion being their recombination in the proportions of water. Gold Production. The production of gold in the Unit of States during 1906 is estimated by the director of the mint at $96,101,000, which is an increase of $8,900,000 over that of 1905. The production of silver is estimated at 56,183,000 ounces, an increase of 82,000 ounces over that of the previous year. A Useful Explanation. "The climate is very cold in St. Petersburg, is it not?"

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.

Frank King, who died recently in California, and whose remains were to have been brought to this city, has been buried in Los Angeles, the interment taking place Sunday. Restrictions upon the shipment of bodies prevented the bringing of it here where the funeral arrangements had been made by the Elks and Damon lodge of Knights of Pythias, of which he was a member. His wife was unable to reach Los Angeles in time for the obsequises. He was very popular in the fraternities and had been up to this illness one of the most useful of the local theatrical performers, his talent having often gone toward making success for various organizations. He will be always remembered for his cheerfulness even in his last days and a green spot will be in the hearts of many friends for his many good qualities. PROMPTEST PAYMENT ON RECORD. Colorado has the finest climate on earth, the greatest gold mines, the largest sugar production and now to their other records they add the record in promptest payment of life insurance. Mr. Alfred Crockett of 2240 Lawrence street, died Friday evening, Nov. 15th. They notified the Commonwealth Life Association at 9:45 a. m., Saturday, and at 10:15 a. m. the funeral benefit of $60.00 was paid to his widow. The Commonwealth now holds the record for the promptest payment of a life insurance in the world. The closest to this record was made by the Prudential Insurance Co. a few years ago when a claim was paid in three hours and twenty minutes. The Commonwealth has always held the palm as the promptest paying sick and accident association in Colorado and the West. They have on file hundreds of unsolicited testimonials from pleased members. They are getting in over 100 members each week. Mrs. A. B. Burdine and daughter have returned from a visit in Missouri. Denver, Colo., Nov. 19, 1907. Editor Statesman. I wish to say to the public that The Commonwealth is O. K. They paid me some of my benefits before the first week was up and have certainly been very nice in their payments to me.

OL0 FOLKS nome “I am not wasting any sympathy on the children of ‘he poor,” said a prom- inent man, once a poor boy himself. Another prominent man, also once poor himself, talks about the heaith- ful rigors of poverty: “Actual pinch- ing poverty as a lifelong burden can- not be recommended, but as a van- tage-ground for a starting point it has great value. The thinking, determin- ing, making effort, refusing to be de- tongues of men and of angels and have not charity I am become as sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal. It {s impossible for me to love God without loving everythingHe made. Then if Christ dwell in my home, I must carry Him into the home of someone else. I cannot refuse to visit my neighbor because she is Metho- dist. I cannot refuse to give my hand to that brother because he is a Pres byterian, I cannot shut the door on a dependent child because his paren‘s were Catholics. God so loved the world that He gave His only begotien Son that whosoever believed on Him should not perish but have everlast- ing life. Once more we employ yeu to help us. We are weak. This story will conclude this paper: Some years ago there lived in a country village a wife, husband and child, and as she looked around about her she discov- ered that there was more to live for than her own household and she said to her husband: “Let us seek the Lord and His protection and stand up as man and woman for Jesus.” This they did. The Lord blessed them, giv- ing them great power, enabling them to do much good, After they had done what they could the Lord saw fit to relieve them of thelr burdens and cares of this world, which are many. Their child became afflicted. She calls to the bedside her husband and sald: “My prayer to God and last appeal to you, help the child.” But the husband did not, he became tired and caused the chidl’s life to be taken by a doctor. The doctor did so and the child he- gan dying. While passing away it looked up into his father’s face and sald: “I see you.” And as he grew weaker and weaker, it continued to say “I see you,” and finally said “I see you. Think of the old living in want with no one to throw the warm home mantle around them that their last days may be peaceful and quiet. We never know just what our lot may be. There is nothing sure but grim death. It may be at this moment somebody's mother is suffering, or somebody's father igs suffering, or some child is homeless and alone. Let me kindly entreat you to help somebody's mother, father and child now, and somebody will look after you or yours should misfortune come your way. If our clubs, secret societies and churches would unite in this effort the race as a whole would be benefited. Let each one ask what she or he has done for charity this year. Let each of us apply the test Christ had in mind when he seid: “Simon, Son Jonas, lovest thou Me more than these?” He saith unto Him: “Yea, Lord, Thou knowest that I love Thee.” He saith unto him: “Feed My lambs.” He saith unto him a second time: “Simon, Son of Jonas, lovest thou Me?” He saith unto Him: “Yea, Lord, thou knowest that I love Thee.” He saith unto him: “Feed My sheep.” For in as much as ye have done it unto one of the least of these, My brethren, ye have done it unto Me.” Continued on page 7 THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO.

Our old people and little orphans must be provided | for and although Judge B. B. Dindeey,) Mrs. Gregory and other friends occu- pying positions of prominence in this, city have done what they could, still we realize the necessity for some ref- uge as above stated, and are turning to the residents of this glorious state and begging them to aid us in our great undertaking. ' Our own people have contributed to buy land, and we would be only too’ happy if we were so situated that os need not call on our white associates, but We as a race earn but a small sti- pend and while giving of our little freely, we find ourselves unable to! raise the necessary amount to erect’ this building. | The architect and builder asures us| that we can build a commodious dwelling for the sum of $2,500, large enough to take in those who require benevolent help. We feel that among the citizens of Colorado—so well known for their generosity to the low- ly and suffering—we may confidently look for assistance in this, our hour of great need. We therefore beg you to send us a contribution; every donation will be most gratefully received—however lit- tle. Please do not refuse our request for this is a noble, Christian work, the housing and caring for those whom disaster has overtaken; please let us hear,from you as soon as possible, for any donation will be most highly ap- preciated as a true thanksgiving of- fering. The night is growing late ani] am still in my study thinking how we have been blessed with the necessary things to run an Orphanage and Home. I am really thankful to God, our Father, for the co-workers end friends who have so kindly divided their means with us. At the incipi ency of the Home it was the sense of the members that we would not be constant beggars, but rather stand upon our own resources, so in this re- Spect our dreams have been realized and at this mile-post, our minds are caused to stop thinking along with the present work and its progress and take a few moments of retrospect. Yes, we cal! to memory our sister, Ada McCowan, who is now at rest, how she tolled, traveling from house to house to meet some friend who would assist in supporting the many orphans that she had to her care. She was a good and consistent Christian lady and like her Savior, was prone to do something for suffering human- ity, so we do not give all the credit of the Home to the present promot- ers, but the nucleus was found in our sister, Mrs. McCowan, whose picture you behold. We are not selfish or contracted, we want more friends, more good Christian workers, andthe co-operation of our ministers and their members and their congregation in general and we will have an insti-| tution that will be a credit to the race.

Entered at the postoffice Denver, Colorado, as second class mailmatter. The nearer the time comes for nominating a successor for President Roosevelt, the more we become convinced that Secretary of the Treasury Cortelyou is the best men. Every state has its favorite and some strong national following attaches to Taft, Cannon, Fairbanks and Cortelyou, with even some who favor Roosevelt for a third term. The oft-repeated declaration of the President that he will not accept a nomination to succeed himself, we think to be too plain to admit of him being considered as a candidate. First of all, Mr. Cortelyou has all the good qualities that have commended the present administration. He is aggressive and honest. He is one of the strong supporters of the President. At the same time he does not come under the accusation of reckless daring as Roosevelt does. He is constructive, but does not run into the error of destructiveness. Between the stand-patters who would retard progress and the radicals who would put their ideas into force even at the expense of prosperity, Cortelyou makes an ideal nominee. The practical politicians recognize in the silent secretary the man of the hour. Taft will lose the colored vote. He has none of the good acts to his credit that President Roosevelt has to weaken the opposition to him because of the soldier incident. His personality is not so commanding, and the loss of our vote or even its indifference will cut a mighty figure in the Northern states. Far different is it with Cortelyou. His praises are sung wherever his department has employees, for he is actually making merit, not color, the standard whereby employment is given. Then apart from our preference as a race, we see in him the one man who will conserve the good of the Roosevelt administration. His attitude on the momentous questions is sensible. He is not a reactionist of the Cannon type, nor a place-hunter like Fairbanks. He has come from way back in the ranks in a relatively short time and his thoroughness will be appreciated by the Republican party in looking for a successor to Roosevelt.
