COLORED VOTERS REPRESENTED TWENTIETH YEAR COLORED REP At the convention of the Republican party of the state of Colorado held in Pueblo last Tuesday to chose delegates to the national convention to nominate the next president, the colored voters for the second time in the history of the state were signally remembered by the convention, according to Captain Thomas Campbell, of this city, the high honor of alternate-at-large to the Chicago convention. Associated with him in a similar capacity on the Colorado delegation will be such men as General Bulkeley Wells and James Williams, whose high standing and influence in party and state show this to be no small honor. Captain Campbell is employed by the Governor, a confidential position, the highest yet given to a colored man M. B. CAPT. THOS. CAMPBELL in this state. He is a veteran of the Spanish-American war, having been a captain in the Forty-ninth Volunteers serving in the Philippines. He is prominently identified with the Lincoln Republican Club, the colored Republican organization in Denver county. He will be remembered as the official of that club immediately in charge of the local arrangements for --- the care of Register Vernon on his recent visit. Two other persons were mentioned for this honor. E. P. Booze of Colorado Springs was one and urged his peculiar fitness for the place. He received no support, however, even from his home delegation. The name of J. H. Stuart was proposed by his friends, but neither man was advocated in the convention. The state convention accorded to Mr. Campbell election as alternate by unanimous vote and it is clearly made public by the leading Republicans who are responsible for this line-up of the party that the choice of Mr. Campbell is a compliment to the colored people and to the Lincoln Club as their representative organization. State Chairman Vivian, James Williams, who was the head of the Denver delegation; Lieut. Gov. Harper, Attorney General Dickson, who was chairman of the convention, and the other leaders who contributed to this selection are one and all entitled to unstinted praise and gratitude from the race. In 1896 there was a colored alternate to the Republican convention in St. Louis in the person of J. M. Williams, and previous to that time or since there has been no other. In the light of the special importance attaching to the colored vote, if Taft or Roosevelt should be the nominee of the party, the presence of a colored man from the West in party councils and caucuses will assure Western Negroes they are not being ignored.

State Historian & Natural History Society MONEY DEMANDED IN NAME OF RACE On last Friday night a delegation of colored citizens, the majority of whom are executive committeemen of the Colorado Political Club, went as a delegation to the headquarters of the City Republican committee. No report of their demands or representations was officially given out. Two days later a well defined rumor pervaded political circles that $1,000 had been demanded of the Republican party for the support of some Negro political organization, the name of which was not given. In as much as the Colorado Political Club, in its preamble to its constitution and by-laws takes high ground, we did not connect the going of their delegation with this rumor. The preamble says: "Organization is the watchword, and the sinking of personal ambitions for the general good of the people, as the organization itself shall plan and recommend, are to be features by which the Colorado Political Club will be distinguished from the others." It is inconceivable that men who have subscribed to such a statement would try to resurect the old game of "selling out" the Negro vote. Yet two days later than their going to headquarters the rumor was abroad that money had been demanded in the name of some organization and now comes the declaration from a man connected with headquarters that it was a delegation claiming to represent the Colorado Political Club that made the demand. It may be this does not represent the opinions of the membership of the club. We hope not, for surely it must be evident that one position secured in the name of the colored people at a wage of only $60 per month in four years under the city administration would mean three times the net result to Negroes of a thousand dollars given during campaign to secure our allegiance. Public condemnation has so long been visited upon this class of practice among those seeking to lead the race in politics that it was incon- --- MANDED OF RACE ceivable that the Colorado Political Club would permit such an outrage in its name, and even with the evidence in hand that such a demand has been made, The Statesman will not believe this act represents the opinions of the membership until they acquiesce by their silence. It cannot be claimed that this money was sought to pay off legitimate campaign bills, such as workers and meetings, for it is well known that nowadays politics is well organized along business lines and all such accounts would be paid from headquarters without go-betweens. It is up to the men who have thus placed the Negroes of Denver in this bad light to explain. So far as this paper can speak for colored people, and certainly we know what is the attitude of colored Republicans, we are not for sale. We do demand fair treatment and representation and are not vest pocket property of any set of "leaders" to deliver for money. ROYAL TEMPLE INITIATED Lady Elks Set Apart Large Order Elks Treated. On Wednesday evening, April 29, Mr. Richard Frazier, district deputy of Colorado, instituted Royal Temple No. 23. Thirty-five were initiated into the mysteries of the order.

A Shanghai correspondent of « Ger- man paper writes: “The custom of arranging matrimonial contracts through agents or matchmakers has been practiced in China for ages. The business receives support from all classes, for although the high-caste men in some instances select their first wives themselves, the additional wires are all secured through the agents. “This being so, it was only natural that a recently distributed proclama- tion, written by an unknown person urging the women to rebel against the old established custom, should have ereated more than a little excitement. The officials ordered the immediate destruction of the handbills on which the revolutionary screed was printed and the arrest of those who took part ia their distribution. “The empress dowager directs that further efforts in that direction should be punished severely, and we know what that means. She said that from what she had heard the French mar riages were for the most part happy and that these were usually arranged by the parents.” HAS RESTING PLACE AT LAST. Remarkable Vicissitudes Undergone by Stained Giass Window. The cast window at St Margaret's, Westminster, England, wandered about for more than 200 years before reaching its present position, and was the subject of seven years’ lawsuit. Henry VII. for whom it was intended, died before the window arrived from Dordrecht and {it came into the pos- session first of the abbot of Waltham and then of General Monk. Stained giass was anathema in Puritan days, so the window was buried until the Restoration, when it was brought to light. Refused by Wadham college it was bought for fifty guineas and erect- ed in a private house and years later was bought for 400 guineas by the committee charged with the restora- tion of St. Margaret's, and placed in position in the church. The lawsuit to which we have referred was brought by the registrar to the de. and chapter on the ground that the win- dow contained superstitious images, but after seven years’ wrangling the church wardens proved victorious and the beautiful window was suffered to remain undisturbed.

T NER HALL GE K. OF P. H. W. HINKLE, Sec. Gave Name to Popular Carriage. There is a pretty bit of history in the name of that vehicle, the flacre St. Flacre was an Irishman of noble birth who went over to France in the seventh century and lived as a heredit in a forest near Meaux. His popularity became very great in the France of later centuries. When Sauvage started public hackney coaches in Paris in 1640 he found the most convenient center for them to be an ann in the Rue St. Martin, named Hotel St. Flacre and adorned with an image of the saint. Hence "flacre." Environment for Scientists. Generally speaking, it may be safety put that mastership in any of the sciences is usually won by the man whom birth has placed in an environment in every way conducive to the development of a scientific career. Seldom is it that a genius, with neither ancestry nor training to favor him, springs up to startle the world with a scientific discovery, as in literature in other arts more closely allied to science. AT Widow's Grief on Discovery of Late Husband's Deception. The still beautiful woman was sobbing bitterly. "Don't take it so hard," said her sympathetic friend. "I know it must be very hard to bear, but it is something that is bound to come to each and all of is soon or late. We must make up our minds to go on, however dark the world may seem. I, too, have lost a husband. I know what it is to be crushed as you are, dear. Try to be brave." "Ah, yes. I know you have lost a husband, but you never had to bear such a blow as has come to me." "What do you mean? Do you think I didn't love my husband just as dearly as—" "No, no, not that. You never had to find out that he had been leading a double life." "Oh! Land sakes! I had no idea it was anything like that! I'm awfully sorry. You poor dear! And I always had such a high opinion of him, too! My goodness, is no man pure any more?" "He was pure enough, I think, but I have just found out that he saved up over $11,000 besides his life insurance. And he knew I wanted an automobile so much and better clothes than he ever allowed me to suppose I could afford." Nicaragua Match Monopoly. The president of Nicaragua has issued a decree creating a government monopoly on the importation, manufacture and sale of matches and wax tapers in that republic. From January 8, 1908, all consumers must purchase these articles from government agents only. These officials are empowered to take over such stocks (at cost price) as may be in the hands of merchants, and also from individuals who, in the estimation of the official, may have a greater quantity than is deemed necessary for immediate use. The fact that these may have been in their possession one month or one year previous to that time, and regularly entered at customs and receipted for by proper officials, will no avail. All persons having such goods in their possession on January 1, 1908, must notify the government agent, or be liable to indictment as smugglers and punished as such. New Jersey's Peculiarity. An affable New York police officer who cultivated the acquaintance of the people who passed his corner regularly, says that he missed a German porter who was in the habit of stopping to speak to him every day. A few days later he reappeared and was asked where he had been. "Over in Jersey," he replied. "What part of Jersey?" "I don't know," replied the German. Funny thing 'bout them towns over in Jersey; they all have different names." Not for Him.

An amusing story of the capture of a thief through the instrumentality of a mule is reported from Jersey City. While the thief was busily wringing chickens' necks, the animal started kicking furiously at the chicken house, and before the thief could escape had brought down the roof and walls upon him. Entangled in the wire, and half-stunned by bricks and wood, the man fell an easy capture to the inmates, who had rushed out on hearing the noise. American Woman in German Eyes. American girls, whether born or merely brought up in America, evidence the same independence of judgment and the same complete self-reliance. It is hard to say whether this is the result of the education in the public schools and colleges or in their freedom from that condition of legal and social subserviency to which the gentler sex is doomed in older countries.—Max von Brandt in Berlin Deutsche Revue. Sickness Caused Repentance. A somewhat amusing tale of an interrupted double elopement is reported from Turin, Italy. Two daughters of a Turin merchant who eloped with two young men and some of their father's money, have been moved to repentance by sea-sickness. They took ship at Marseilles, but were so terribly ill that they implored the captain to put them ashore at the first port of call. They then took the nearest route home. The Tear Cure. A good cry is a solace to many women. It steadies the nerves, and, added to a cup of tea and an interesting story, forms their idea of supreme happiness. Arising from the perusal of their books with red eyes, swelled features and a sopping pocket handkerchief, they feel their time has not been wasted.—Lady Voilet Greville in London Chronicle. Humorous Robbers. After holding up five men in a saloon in Chicago recently, several young desperadoes forced their victims into an ice-box and turned on a talking machine to drown the sound of their cries. They then made their escape and left the phonograph playing "We've Been Here but Gone."—The Musical Age. Should Drink More Water. Water is a nerve food. It has a distinctly soothing effect when slipped gradually, as one can test for oneself. Moreover, the hygienic effects of water are not confined to the female sex, for as a matter of fact men would be all the better if they imbibed more of it. To Raise Sunken Vessels. Compressed air is recommended by Cosmos, Paris, as the best means of raising sunken vessels, and the journal says the old methods should be abandoned. It points to a number of big boats which have been rescued from the deep this way. Hia Decision.

Dear Editor of The Statesman: I wish to say through the columns of your interesting paper that Mr. James Scott of our church here has scored another victory as a money raiser. He sold in four days ninety-eight 35-cent tickets for the drama which was played last Wednesday night and directed by Mrs. W. H. Prince. By his influence and untiring interest his good wife has reported nearly $100 to the church this year. Mr. Charles Lonnex deserves special menuo report he made for the next month --- THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORAD Mrs. Burda Tyler's club for our spring rally. Little Greg Henderson and Buster Tyler were the masters of the Missionary rally. They reported $8 and $6, respectively. Mr. Editor, I heartily indorse and appreciate the laudable, though strenuous political efforts you are putting forth for the negroes in Denver and throughout the state. My prayer is that they will hear you. Yours, W. H. PRINCE. HAVRE, MONT. Mrs. M. T. Tibbs is quite sick. Mrs. William Barnes is indisposed this week. Mr. Preston Cottomus is on the sick list. Mrs. M.

Mr. George Gross and sons of Swink, Colo., attended the Old Maids' convention here last Wednesday evening. Rev. W. H. Prince went to Rocky Ford on business last Monday. Quite a number of the Rocky Ford people attended the Old Maids' convention. In response to a call from the W. C. T. U. for three representatives from all the different Young People's unions of the several churches of the city to put forth a united effort in the temperance work, Rev. W. H. Prince appointed Mrs. M. A. Berry, Mrs. W. H. Prince and Miss Susie Starkey to represent the Allen Christian Endeavor League. The meeting of the committees was held at the Christian church Monday, April 27, at 8 p. m., Mrs. W. H. Prince being chairman of the committee from Hubbard chapel, and is also a member of the executive committee to assist in arranging programs for the union meetings. The first union meeting will be held at the Christian church May 24, the subject for discussion being "A Christian at the Ballot Box." The Old Maids' convention given by the ladies of Hubbard Chapel, A. M. E. church, Wednesday evening, April 22. at the W. O. W. Hall, with Mrs. W. H. Prince directress, reflected credit on all participants. The La Junta Democrat spoke of it as the most enjoyable of any of the home talent plays presented in this city. Rocky Ford has asked Mrs. W. H. Prince to present the comedy there, which has not as yet been definitely arranged for. The total receipts of the evening were $81.75 and the expenses $25.25, leaving a balance on hand of $56.50. Of this amount, Mrs. W. H. Prince turned over to the trustees $28.25 and to the stewards $28.25, and we feel that words are powerless to express our gratitude to Mrs. W. H. Prince for her untiring zeal in presenting this comedy to the public. Cast of characters: Maribah Lovejoy...Mrs. W. H. Prince Priscilla Hope...Miss Beatrice Tyler Armarilla Heywood...Mrs. Chas.

The Inter-Graduate Association takes this mode of thanking the public for The Inter-Graduate Association takes this mode of thanking the public for its most earnest encouragement and generous support in making the Tyler- White recital the success it was. We fully realize that without such encour- agement and support our feeble efforts would have been fruitless. We re- spectfully solicit a continuation of the same, thereby making {t possible in the future for Denver to see and hear the best the race affords. The lateness of the hour when we received the critical opinions of the Tyler-White recital from the musicians of our city precludes the publication of them. We regret the fact, but in vain.—Editor.

The greatest musical treat in years was at Shorter church last Friday evening, when there was a grand double attraction in the person of Clarence Cameron White, violinist, and Gerald Tyler, pianist. The Inter Graduate Association secured the services of these two stars at the largest expense of any yet appearing before a colored audience in this city, and they have more than justified the expectations of their audience. The program was entirely devoted to their selections, Mr. Tyler acting as accompanist for Mr. White. Applause unstinted was given each number, whether of the ultra-classical of of the better known and more popular pieces. There have been other good pianists here and no violinists, which made Mr. White the more appreciated through the novelty of it. Yet it must fairly be said that either performer was an entertainment in himself, N. G. Walker, the president of the Association, has proven his initiative and nerve by securing this attraction. He announces that the next attraction hoped for is Harry Burleigh, the great baritone of New York. By thus stepping out to teach culture in the community, no less than to furnish a common gathering of those who have imbibed it in the schools, the Inter-Graduate Association is broadening its field of usefulness and making itself a more potent factor in the widening of the horizon for the Western Negro.

When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qualities, all lengths, and all conditions of hair, even to the growing of hair on bald places of the head, many persons scorned the idea that such a thing was possible; but we have grown the hair for hundreds, rapidly achieving success. The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that "theirs is the same" or "just as good") or referred to "PORO." We advise you to use only "PORO" Hair Grower, (the oldest and best of its kind). See that the name "PORO" is on every box, not genuine without it. Prepared only by MRS. A. M. POPE. MRS. A. M.

MISSIONARY RALLY. Conducted by Rev. J. W. Sanders at Payne Chapel, Colorado Springs. The pastor, Rev. J. W. Braxton, and officers of above church have given the right of way to the mission board of the A. M. E. church, May 21, 1908. This rally to be held there will be participated in by some of our best known local workers. Rev. Braxton is a member of the board and in the short time he has been pastor of this church he has done a great work. We are expecting persons from Pueblo and Denver to take part in this rally. Last year a good start was made toward raising the $10,000 fund for our mission cause, and now a great effort is being made to launch the campaign for this year. Conference is only five months away, but in that time great things can be done if we move in a united, enthusiastic manner. Colorado Springs is a great city and we have a great church there. We hope to so present our cause that our white friends as well as our own people will have their attentions drawn to our work. In this state there are many generous hearted white friends of the Negro who have means and they are willing to help in a work that makes for better men and women as well as more beautiful cities. We are laying the foundation stones for the building of character among us, when we plant these missions as outposts of our advancing civilization. We are, moreover, doing the very thing which will best help our people in the acquisition of all that goes to make safe and sane citizenship. The program of the exercises will appear in the next issue of this paper. Now, we call on our friends in Colorado Springs to assist us in this great effort, for in so doing the work of the church will be immeasurably advanced. J. W. SANDERS. General Missionary.

The sum total of argument on the side of the latter is the personality of Mayor Speer, as evidenced by his administration during the past four years. With his executive ability, his public spirit, his "business administration" as their theme, the Speerites are combatting the Republican platform and candidates in their campaign for civic decency, lower taxation and honest elections. So flagrant has been the failure of the present administration to even make a start toward any one of these three things promised by Republicans, not even the wildest Democratic spellbinder offers a rebuttal. Speer occupies an office that was stolen. Repeaters were herded in a stone's throw of this office and voted openly in all the downtown wards, not once, but some even twenty times. Can the people of Denver sacrifice representative government by countenancing such outrageous election methods? Popular government is dead if Speer typifies it. The question of taxation has brought out many varying statements which prove extravagance or the opposite, according to who is the author. The one test is the tax receipt of the property owner and the rent receipt of the tenant, and the readers of this paper unhesitatingly declare these to be higher than ever before in the history of Denver. Men may lie, but the figures on the receipts are proof. The third plank in the Republican platform is civic reform. The alliance between the city administration and the gambling syndicate, the lewd habitues of the tenderloin, the liquor interests, began in the orgy of fraud at the last election, and unblushingly struts the stage of action now, trying to win an election as a business administration. Money means more than men is another way of stating the doctrine of the Speer administration. For every dollar spent on the parks and playgrounds of Denver there have been two filched from the wage earner in the resorts of the gambling syndicate. Policy, the bank --- PAGE. 8. THE STATESMAN.

Who is so foolish as to point to a few positions given and claim virtue for an administration that permits such debauchery of even the women and children? We pass over the wine rooms, the allurements of the "Red Line" and other places conducted by white people, for they are an unanswerable argument for the Republican party, and we take up the one argument that Speer should be elected for the sake of the "open town." We will limit our argument to this question as it effects colored people. If it is best that Denver should be an "open town," why has not Mayor Speer done for us what was done for whites? It is true colored people have been permitted to gamble, but under what conditions? Where he threw the full force of his authority over the gambling syndicate to make of it a monopoly among whites, thereby guaranteeing to the men who made his election possible. immunity from competition, he has steadily allowed colored resorts to increase in number until we state upon the authority of men who know, only the barest living can be earned from them. It is a fair conclusion that he must have foreseen that this policy would involve more and more Negroes in this class of pursuit, a splendid thing for election machinery, but fatal to the moral status of our race. Against every appointee that he has made, against whatever advantage may have come to us from his civic improvements, against his otherwise fair and impartial administration of the law to both races, we charge that "open town" for Negroes has had not even financial advantage for us and that it has struck at our morality the harder blow. We shall take up in this campaign Speer's attitude on appointments and his "business administration," though we feel that were there no other reasons for supporting the Republican ticket, on this one issue we could rest our case. No member of church, no person who believes man should be above the animal, that women and children should be protected from the allurements of the efforts of unbridled vice, can vote for the "open town." --- TERMS. SHALL THE RACE TRY LYNCH LAW ON THE REPUBLICAN PARTY? It is so easy to criticise, to tear down, that it is not remarkable that this year, the opposition to the Republican party has by fair and foul means won many Negroes to their cause. The Statesman believes in the destiny of the Republican party. Not all members of that party are kindly disposed to us, but the great bulk of our friends are allied with it, and our hope lies with it rather than with Democracy. To the end that it may win success at the polls, we offer this space for contributions from our readers bearing on the political situation, with only the usual restrictions of size, legibility, etc. F. H. H. A. K. VICKERY, NOMINEE FOR AUDITOR When the Republican party wanted a candidate to offer to the people as county clerk and recorder, mindful of the unsavory record the Democrat, Julius Aichele, it picked the highest possible type of candidate in Albion K. Vickery. He was successful in the election, and no higher compliment can be paid him than the silence of the opposition on his record. He has made good. His official record is a valuable asset for rthe party, no less than for himself, and in now offering him to the people as successor for Wilson the party expects that the change will as wholesome for good government as was his election as county clerk. The city administration has somehow or other made away with a million dollars more each year than the preceding Republican administration spent and the city auditor knows where it goes. An honest official can and will stop leaks, steals and illegal withdrawal of funds by properly administering his office. Therefore we commend Mr. Vickery to the public as a man of unsurpassed fitness for our trust. All the more gladly do we support him because we remember that he was the first Republican official to give recognition to the loyal support of colored Republicans, since the party has once more come into power in this county. Not only did he make a beginning in this way, but over a period of years has maintained a friendly attitude toward us. Representative positions do not come to Negroes in great numbers and to all officials who wipe out the color line and consider a man for his worth, we owe a special debt of gratitude. Mr. Vickery is typical of what the Republican administration will be; and should be become the city auditor we are certain to be represented in the administration in a manner that we can point to with pride. Vote for Vickery, a typical Republican. A safe way to remember his friendly attitude is to vote the straight Republican ticket. COLORADO SPRINGS PERSONALS Mrs. Jennie Henderson continues quite ill.

Love—true and profound love should be a source of light and calm, a religion and a revelation, in which there is no place left for the lower victories of vanity. Great souls care only for what is great, and to the spirit which hovers in the sight of the infinite, any sort of artifice seems a disgraceful puerility.—Amiel's Journal. London Fog an Old Institution. "London, by reason of the excessive coldness of the air hindering the ascent of smoke, was so filled with the fuliginous steam of the sea coal that one could hardly see across the streets and this, filling the lungs with its gross particles, exceedingly obstructed the breast, so as one could scarcely breathe." So wrote John Evelyn over two centuries back. Occupations for Women. English women, trying to find some congenial occupation for the daughters of the ex-rich, are talking of "kennel maids." An occupation that ought to pay would be that of golf director. In the United States especially there is much demand for women to teach their sisters the game in a scientific way, not in books alone, but by actual personal direction. As Austere Women Love. Austerity in women is sometimes the accompaniment of a rare power of loving. And when it is so their attachment is strong as death; their fidelity as resisting as the diamond; they are hungry for devotion and athirst for sacrifice. Their love is a piety, their tenderness a religion, and they triple the energy of love by giving to it the sanctity of duty.—Amiel's Journal. His Position.
