Continued on page eight FIVE NEW BISHOPS ELECTED Norfolk, May 14.—Three bishops for America and two for Africa, the latter with a continuous period of residence fixed at 12 years on that continent, is the record-breaking achievement of the 23rd quadrennial session of the African Methodist Episcopal general conference at its session yesterday. The interest centered in the election of the five men to the highest office within the gift of the church, and drew immense crowds to the St. John's A. M. E. church, the seat of the conference, and at 8 o'clock yesterday morning fully an hour before the time for the opening of the session the galleries were packed with men and women, white and colored who had gathered to witness the scenes to be enacted during the day. Dr. E. W. Laupton, of Mississippi; Dr. H. Blanton Parks, of Arkansas, and Dr. J. S. Flipper, of Georgia, were elected bishops for work in America. Dr. J. Albert Johnson, of Philadelphia, and Dr. W. H. Heard, from Atlanta, Ga., were elected bishops for South Africa and West Africa, respectively. That a strenuous night had been passed by the friends of the various candidates was obvious, and on all sides were heard rumors of various combinations to place favorite candidates in the lead. It was apparent from the outset that Dr. E. W. Lampton, perhaps the foremost man in the church, and financial secretary, would lead in the fight, and the prediction that he would be elected on the first ballot was voiced by a hundred or more men. When the conference convened, the subdued excitement was only paralleled by the fervent religious exercises conducted by the leaders, apparently in the hope that a calm and sober frame of mind, would come over the delegates. Various soul-stirring songs were sung as only negroes can sing, and a fervent prayer offered by Dr. J. M. Murchison, of Arkansas. In the opening, the conference was FIVE CENTS A COPY S ELECTED opened by Bishop B. F. Lee, of Ohio, who, after the religious exercises, recognized the chairman of the Episcopal committee. Rev. J. I. Lowe, who reported that the committee had examined the characters of all the bishops, including Bishop James A. Handy, who is sick at his home in Baltimore. The committee also recommended the following: First, that tellers be selected, one from each district, second, that the secretaries of the conference be the clerks of the election; third, that the three bishops for the home work be elected first and the two for African afterwards, and, fourth, that the ballots for the bishops for Africa should designate whether the candidate was voted for for the Southern or for the Western field. The committee further recommended that the bishops for Africa shall remain on the continent for a period of twelve years, not leaving their districts to return to America except once in four years, to meet the general conference, or such other time as shall be designated by the bishops' council. Bishop Lee surrendered the chair to Bishop Levi J. Coppin, of Philadelphia, who presided over the Seventh District during the last quadrennium. Bishop Coppin was greeted by long applause and was presented with a handsome floral anchor by the ministers and delegates from his diocese. A. L. Murray, D. G. Hill, S. J. West, R. E. Moore, R. L. Beale, W. A. Fountain, W. C. Banton, J. J. Morant, A. A. Brooks, A. S. Jackson, S. M. Gibbs, A. J. Askew and F. M. Gow were elected tellers. While the tellers were taking their places, so great became the confusion that the singing of "Jesus, Lover of My Soul" had but little effect on the delegates. After order was finally restored, Bishop H. M. Turner, the senior bishop of the church, who has been recently elected historian, offered a fervent prayer for the blessings of divine guidance upon the day's work of the conference.—Norfolk Landmark. --- THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO The Greatest Strop of the Century The Haynes Razor Strop Co.

MEASUREMENTS OF A SPIRIT Questioner Wanted Details as to Exact Proportions of His Departed Friend. A man of St. Joseph, Missouri, relates a story in connection with a spiritualistic meeting once held in that town. A man named Daniel Miller, who was some six feet seven inches in height, had died recently. The spirit of Daniel was called for by some one at the seance mentioned. When it had appeared and announced its readiness to reply to any questions, some one asked: "Are you in Heaven?" "Yes," came from the shade of Daniel. "Are you an angel, Dan?" "Yes." At this juncture the questioner paused, having apparently exhausted his fund of questions. But to the amusement of all he suddenly ad ded: "And what do you measure from tip to tip?"—Youth's Companion. GETTING RID OF THEM. "Pay attention, now," said the school-teacher, addressing his class during the geography lesson. "The population of China is so great that two Chinamen die every time we take a breath." This information made a deep impression on the juvenile scholars and the teacher was particularly struck with the uncomfortable appearance of one small boy at the foot of the class. His face was flushed, and he was puffing furiously. "What is the matter?" inquired the school-teacher with alarm. "What on earth are you doing, Tommy?" "Killing Chinamen, please, sir," was the answer. "I don't like them foreigners, so I'm getting rid of just as many as I can!" HE WAS DISGRUNTLED. A naval officer of distinction, after months of consideration, submitted to the secretary of the navy a plan for the improvement of the administration of the battleship fleet. It was returned to him "disapproved." His anger flamed up at the way in which he had been turned down. "There you have it," he said bitterly. "You work like thunder for the government and even your recommendations meet with no favor. I feel, however, there is one more thing I should recommend to the department—that is the organization of a veterinary corps." "Ah, that is for the sea horses," it was suggested. "Not at all," was the response. "That is for the jackasses that are found both fore and aft in the naval service." THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO.

LUXURY ENJOYED IN PERSIA A Persian diplomat, seated on the white beach at Ormond, fanned his moist brow with a Panama. "The February sun is hot," he said. "It recalls faintly to me the heat of Persia. But you have no need of sinking rooms here." "Sinking rooms?" said the girl in white. "I've heard of sinking funds, but—" "You use them in Persia—if you're rich enough—in the great heats," he interposed. "They're rooms of glass that sink down into the vitreous blue depths of Lake Niris. Niris, the most beautiful of Persian lakes, is almost crowded with sinking rooms during the hot weather. They're very pleasant. You furnish them sumptuously—rugs and pale silk hangings, ivory carvings and mother-o'-pearl—and you take down with you singing girls and dancing girls and girls to serve the sherbet and to fill the hookaha." He sighed. "All this," he said, "is very pleasant, but I would gladly exchange the glare of this hot sun, the smell and dust and roar of these high-powered motor cars, for Lake Niris' cool depths, the vitreous blue light and the clear laughter of the Circassian serving girls."

C.—It is the feeling among churchmen here that the election of the Right Rev. Charles Henry Brent as bishop of Washington, to succeed the late Bishop Henry Yates Satterlee, marks an epoch in the development of the Episcopal church among the rank and file of the colored people of the country. The new prelate is not only a man of lofty Christian character, deep piety and strong sense of duty, and possessed of a high degree of moral and physical courage, but he has had vast and varied experience in dealing with the darker races of the world, and can bring to the work a broad-gauged sympathy, as well as a thorough understanding of the intricate problems involved when ministering to a diocese embracing a large colored population, as is the case in Washington. Bishop-elect Brent's earliest parish work was at the St. Augustine Mission in Boston, where he achieved a phenomenal success in bringing the Negro masses into a closer relation with the Episcopal church, and spread the influence of true Christianity in purlius that had not known serious missionary effort before. His latest and most stupendous undertaking was to minister unto the natives of the Philippine Islands, having been assigned to the Orient in 1901 as the Missionary Bishop of the Philippines. He has erected stately temples in the land of the Moros and laid the foundation of a Christian civilization, a faithful acknowledgment of the "fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man," impressing the common salvation of humanity, regardless of race or color. This experience gives Bishop-elect Brent a peculiar fitness for taking hold of the problems that exist in the District of Columbia, with its 100,000 Negro population. He knows the Negro and his needs, and the Negro is willing to trust his interests to the hands of a spiritual leader who has shown the breadth of vision and fraternal instinct so marked in the new head of this diocese. Bishop-elect Brent's election was materially promoted by the advocacy and votes of the Negro delegates in the diocesean convention. Six colored clergymen and two laymen represented the Episcopal churches of the race. They were Revs. T. J. Brown, of St. Luke's; O. L. Mitchell, of St. Mary's; W. V. Tunnell, warden of King Hall, Howard University; F. I. A. Bennett, of St. Matthew's; J. C. Van Loo, of St. Monica's, and A. W. F. Collier, of St. Luke's. The laymen were Dr. J. C. Norwood and J. O. Bampfield, who came from St. Luke's, the single independent parish in the District. Rector T. J. Brown is es- pecially anxious that Bishop Brent accept the assignment, saying that he regards the appointment as providential, and feeling that the new prelate is divinely ordained for the solution of the difficulties that so sorely encompass the race in this country in the present crisis. In his opinion the new duties offered to the Bishop of the Philippines are more essential to the peace, prosperity and happiness of our country than those he must lay down, though not disposed to minimize the needs of the Filipinos. The entire 10,000,000 Negroes in the land are deeply concerned in the coming of the new prelate, and all are anxious he accept the trust and develop in this social cosmopolis a branch of the Episcopal church so broad in Christian brotherhood and so faithful to the preachments of the Master that it shall stand as a model for every diocese in the land where there are variations in race and color.

Man at the Helm Works with the Curtains Tightly Drawn. The work of steering a great ship, even with the aid of all the machinery, is much more delicate than one would imagine. The larger and faster the ship the greater is the difficulty. It is not enough to hold the wheel in the same position to keep the ship on her course, for the wind and waves and the currents of the ocean tend constantly to knock the ship off her course. The great wall of steel—for the hull may be 700 feet long and 60 feet high—offers a broad target for the wind and waves. The art of steering is to humor the ship to these forces and when she is deflected to bring her back quickly to her course. If you could watch the binnacle, especially in bad weather, you would see the needle of the compass constantly shifting from side to side, which means that the great steel prow is not going forward in a perfectly straight line. The most astonishing thing about the bridge is to find the wheelhouse with all its curtains tightly drawn, as often happens, and the man at the helm steering the boat without seeing ahead at all. At night or even by day, if the light of the binnacle is confusing, the wheelhouse is often completely shut in. The man at the wheel, it is explained, does not need to look ahead. The lookout high up in the "crow's nest" and the officer on watch on the bridge will keep him informed if any object is sighted. The duty of the man at the wheel is to keep the ship on her course. Throughout his watch of four hours he must keep his eyes on the compass and no where else.—St. Nicholas WHEN JEFFERSON WAS HOST. Formal Dinners at White House Part taken of in Gloom. Jefferson was a methodical man, keeping account of all his expenditures, and the followed accounts kept while he was in the White House show that he spent $12,000 for liquors alone during his term of eight years, says a writer in the Home Magazine When we take into consideration the fact that glasses clinked merrily around the cabinet table as well as the dining table, and that an open buffet was kept for all callers, this amount is not surprising. Notwithstanding the low prices, Jefferson often spent as high as $50 on his small dinners, wine list not included, and he was most particular about his wines and brandies. Jefferson's state dinners were usually limited to about 40 guests. The large dining room was not considered finished, so when his guests were numerous he had a long table placed in the center of the great east room, and dismal enough it must have been, with its bare walls, many windows and draughts and insufficient light from the candles, which dropped wax tears at every wind which blew up from the Potomac. No wonder Jefferson and several of his successors looked forward dismally to the state affairs and cheerfully to the informal dinners. HUNT FOR A HANGMAN. Difficulty in Finding Some One to Execute a Murderer. The British army was once in difficulties through the lack of a hangman. Murder was committed by a soldier in the Crimea, but nobody could be found to carry out the sentence of the court-martial. It was announced that £20 and a free discharge would be granted to the man undertaking the task. At last a man volunteered. He was a newcomer to the army. On the night prior to the date fixed for the execution they locked up the hangman in a stable to keep him safe. In the morning the party at the gallows waited, but there was no hangman. He had gone mad during the night, or else he was now simulating madness. The officer in command turned to one of his captains with: "Captain, you will have the goodness to hang the prisoner!" The captain changed countenance, but he pulled himself together, and appalled to the sergeant with: "Which of you will hang this man?" And to spare his captain, one of the men volunteered. He afterward had the satisfaction of flogging the man who had volunteered and failed Gave Name to Rooms—31-2 Good Block. Office Phone Main 5595. Hours: 9 to 11 a. m., 1 to 4 p. m. 7 to 8 p. m. DR. P.

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 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 sipped 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. His Decision.

Trinity Labadie, a 17-year-old girl of Oakland, Cal., is going to give Mary McLane, erstwhile of Montana, now of Boston, a close rub for a "pull" with his satanic majesty. Miss Labadie recently reported to the police that the devil told her to steal and she just couldn't help it. Trinity was given a room at the Young Women's Christian association recently and the next day, it is alleged, a sum of money and some of the room's furnishings disappeared. Likewise Trinity. When she was rounded up and questioned, she laid the blame for the matter on the devil, who not being there to defend himself, or summon an alibi, it under suspicion as accessory before the fact. Miss Labadie is being detained by the police until further inquiry can be had into her relations with the imp of darkness. CHILDISH PERSIAN WOMEN. In the shah's harem Worth of Paris finds a market for out-of-date costumes, and so vain and feminine are these "queens" that they will pay the most exorbitant sums for an exclusive model, if they can thereby prevent a rival "queen" obtaining it. As a general rule, however, these women, for all the luxury of their surroundings, are most childishly ignorant and their sole ambition in life is to be the mother of the heir to the throne. The principal queen of the late shah, however, was an exceptionally clever woman. She was no mean poet and her verses on the beauties of nature are gems of their kind. NOT THE SORT HE WANTED. A "Honesty, dey say, is the best policy." "Wot rot, mein friendt. Dat sort of policy has no surrender value." EAGER FOR KNOWLEDGE. Lord Dunedin, the lord president of the court session, has apparently an insatiable thirst for knowledge, says the Westminster Gazette. When he was studying Roumanian three THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. years ago much was said of the idea of a man of 55 learning a new language. This winter the lord president is one of the non-matriculation students at Edinburg university, where he is attending a special course of lectures on German literature. Lord Dunedin is a brilliant conversationalist, a keen sportsman and incidentally before he was a lord was one of the first M. P.'s to arrive at the house on a bicycle.

Systems of Co-Operation Weak Theoretically and in Practice. One of the spirits of the age is organization and co-operation of those who are engaged in the same lines of trade, industry or profession. It has been proved beyond cavil that men have a right to thus organize and pursue any system in business, or in their special fields that they desire as long as their methods are not unjust toward others. From many organizations comes much good. From others things that are harmful. It must be remembered that there are fundamentals in all systems that cannot be ignored. There are principles which must be observed, or failure will be sure to result. Within the past dozen years numerous alleged cooperative organizations have been formed within the United States. These organizations have been of a kind that involves certain benefits to members—the elimination of profits to middlemen, the distribution of earnings to members, etc. Not one in fifty of these organizations has been successful, and the reason for failure is that the systems followed were not in harmony with economic laws. In the world of commerce there are three important factors—production, distribution and consumption. Were there no consumption there would be no need of production or distribution. But civilized people must be fed and clothed and their other wants supplied, and as long as intelligent man exists there will be need and methods to supply his wants. Thus we find the producers, the distributors, and the latter class divide into groups known as factors or jobbers, their agents and the so-called retailers who directly supply the consumers. The common co-operative plans deal with cutting out the distributors, the elimination of that cost in products which represents the compensation of merchants whether they be wholesalers or retailers. The present system of distribution has evolved from an experience covering some thousands of years. It is based upon equity and upon the soundest principles of economy. The system cannot well be changed unless the whole field of human endeavor be modified. People must be employed in gainful occupations, or they become burdens upon the classes who are earners. All cannot be producers, but all can perform an important part in production, in manufacture and in distribution. The co-operative system that means the elimination of the factors in commerce excepting the manufacturer means the robbing of a large class of a means of earning subsistence and an encroachment upon other fields of labor that are now well equalized. The present system of distribution is the most economical that can be devised. No manufacturer of food products, unless he have a monopoly, can maintain exclusive distributing warehouses. Thus we find the jobber a co-operator merely, working in harmony with a multitude of manufacturers and for them conducting a general warehouse, guaranteeing the collection and payment of bills due them and for his services receiving a small commission. His agent or traveler sells a hundred kinds of goods instead of one particular kind. Here again we find co-operation in its highest type. The retailer carries a variety of goods, representative of perhaps 200 or 300 manufacturers; here again is co-operation, and it may be said that the earnings of all engaged in distribution represent a small commission for performing a service, and the aggregate of the earnings of any one of them—the jobber, his agent and the retailer—is dependent upon his labor and his business sagacity. When these three factors in distribution be cut out just as expensive a system must be substituted. In case of the manufacturer who sells his products direct to the consumer, he has large advertising bills to pay, and a hundred little expenses which the manufacturer who sells his products through regular established channels does not have to bear. When a co-operative store is established with a few hundred stockholders as its patrons it is generally found that it cannot be operated at lower expense than if conducted by an individual, and it soon ceases to exist. Editor Realizes Situation. It has come to a time when the business man must take note of the mail order concerns. They are continually growing larger and taking more trade out of the smaller towns. Of course we all know that it is not right for Wilkinsburg people to send their money to Chicago or New York or other places for their groceries, dry goods, etc., when we have people, neighbors and friends selling the same goods right at home. The local merchant has no one to blame but himself for the condition which now exists. This may be a little hard, but it is true. Many of the local merchants do not let their old customers, and prospective new ones, know of the articles they keep by advertising them. The mail order houses are the largest and most successful advertisers in the world, and without advertising they could do no business. Now, if they can afford to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to keep their old customers informed and to get new ones, the local merchant could put a big "kink" in the mailorder business by adopting the same method on a smaller scale.—Wilkinsburg (Pa.)

I'll tell you. It's because they get their dander up. They get tired of being looked down upon and of being treated patronizingly by the big fellows, and they just resolve to show society that they are worth something, even though their height may be in the vicinity of five feet. In a word, quality, not quantity, becomes their motto. Another thing about the little folks that I've noticed is that they have learned how to conserve their energies and how to take care of themselves. Your big man almost invariably is reckless with his strength—the very generosity of a large nature, I suppose, makes him care little about his time, his health and innumerable other things. He has an impression that he can do pretty much anything that he sets out to, and the chances are that he does not devote overmuch energy to preparation. The little fellow, on the other hand, knows that he has a physical handicap, so far as appearances go anyway, and he does his best to overcome it." A SPOILT KISS. 1.

"The reason it is necessary to be well covered while sleeping," said a physician in giving some advice to a patient, "is that when the body lies down it is the intention of nature that it should rest, and the heart especially should be relieved of its regular work temporarily. That organ makes ten strokes a minute less than when the body is in an upright posture. This means 600 strokes in 60 minutes. Therefore in the eight hours that a man usually spends in taking his night's rest the heart is saved nearly 5,000 strokes. As it pumps six ounces of blood with each stroke, it lifts 30,000 ounces less of blood in the night's session than it would during the day, when a man is usually in an upright position. Now, the body is dependent for its warmth on the vigor of the circulation, and as the blood flows so much more slowly through the veins when one is lying down the warmth lost in the reduced circulation must be supplied by extra covering." PRACTICING FOR THE COTILLON. "Nobody ever told me that I was a good dancer," declared a leader of cotillons. "But I'll tell you a compliment a young woman did pay me once. She said: 'You took me through that crowd without a collision and without any one treading on my skirt.' "Well, I never had a dancing lesson in my life. But I used to practice dancing in the days when women wore those great long trains and it was not considered good form to pick them up. They trailed along behind several yards. Those were the days when you had to guide and keep moving with your partner so as to keep that train following gracefully." "But how did you practice?" "Used to tie two sheets to an ordinary chair and then dance in and out among a dozen chairs scattered over a dance floor." ANECDOTE OF ADE. George Ade was presiding at a banquet one night. In introducing each speaker he made some reference to the etymology of the speaker's name and pointed out some alleged definition of the name based upon an imaginary Latin or Greek derivation.

LOCAL MARKET IMPORTANT Improvement of Town Must Mean Enhancement in Value of Farm Lands Surrounding It—All Classes Benefited. There is much to interest the student in economy in the bulletins issued by the government relative to the results of the census of manufactures for the year 1905, and in the reports of the department of labor and commerce pertaining to industry and manufactures. In 1905 there were 216,262 manufacturing establishments in the United States. In these establishments $12,686,265,673 capital was employed, and work given to 5,470,321 wage-earners. To these wage-earners were paid for the year $2,611,540,532, and the value of the products turned out reached the enormous sum of $14,802,147,087. Among the states New York leads in the amount of capital invested in manufacturing and also in the annual value of products. The year covered by the census report showed that the capital invested in manufacturing in the state of New York was $2,031,459,515, and the value of its manufactured products, $2,488,345,579. Pennsylvania stands second in rank, Illinois third and Massachusetts fourth. It is interesting to note that the value of the manufactures in the United States for the year 1905 was more than a billion dollars greater than the combined manufactures of the three greatest European manufacturing countries during the year 1900, the latest reliable reports from these countries obtainable. In 1900 the United Kingdom, Germany and France produced manufactured articles to the value of $13,030,000,000 During the past year—1907—it is estimated that the value of American manufactures was approximately $15,000,000,000. Manufacturing in the United States is mainly confined to a territory which includes the area north of the Potomac and Ohio, and east of the Mississippi river, commonly designated as the New England and Middle states, Maryland, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin. Yet every state in the union has its manufacturing plants, and the south is making much headway in cotton and lumber manufacturing, the western states in flour and cereal products, in lumber and in iron and steel, and a little progress in other lines. One of the noticeable things about manufacturing districts is that though the soil in contiguous country be poor, it is of greater value than like areas in the rich agricultural districts, owing to the manufacturing towns affording a direct—a home market—for all the produce grown. In a speech made before the Fiftieth congress, Hon. William McKinley, our martyred president, said: "The establishment of a furnace or factory or mill in any neighborhood has the effect at once of enhancing the value of all property and all values for miles surrounding it." Mr. McKinley spoke a truth that THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. should impress itself firmly upon the minds of all good citizens who would see their home place prosper. Wherever there are people there must be a means afforded them to obtain a livelihood. In cities and towns there must be either commerce of manufacturing in order that the town exist. Improvement of the town means enhancement of the farm lands surrounding it. In the west manufacturing is now only in swaddling clothes. It is no exaggeration to say that nine-tenths of all manufactured articles needed by the people of the great agricultural sections of the west come from other than home factories. There are numerous lines of manufacturing that can never be successfully carried on in some sections of the agricultural United States. There are many other lines for which the west is particularly adapted, and there is no economic reason why these lines should not be manufactured at least in sufficient quantity to supply home needs. Every citizen should assist his home state by using articles manufactured within it. Many states are carrying on a campaign of education along this line. Preference is always given to home goods, and thus is home industry helped along. Makes Pertinent Point. When the mail-order merchants themselves wish to buy goods, you may be assured that they do not purchase them from either description or "cuts," but their buyers must see and carefully inspect the article before it finds its way into the warehouse. If the mail-order concern adopts such measures, why is it not wise for the retail purchaser to do likewise? If they do this, are they quite fair in asking you to make your purchases in a manner that they would not consider for one moment in making theirs?—Pueblo (Colo.) Star-Journal. Against Sound Economic Laws. Any system of business that draws from a community the earnings of the people which should be retained to add to the wealth of that community, is a system that should be discouraged. The plans devised by many large concerns to draw trade away from agricultural towns may be legitimate, but are not in harmony with sound economic laws. We are in receipt of unsigned notices from time to time which are omitted for lack of signature.

It is not often that matter is intentionally omitted where some good reason does not exist. Therefore persons will do well to conform to the easy regulations which govern matter for newspapers.

"We have met the enemy and we are theirs," is the way this paper feels about the election. The campaign just closed has given to Mayor Speer an endorsement of his policy that is decisive, though the majority was not large. The conduct of the election was free from criticism and if ever there was an honest ballot and a fair count, Denver had it Tuesday. While Mayor Speer was not our choice, we feel that it is the duty of the citizen to acquiesce in the will of the majority, and we shall lay aside the political war bonnet, so far as the city is concerned and support the administration in any way we can. Never has there been such an obliteration of party lines as in this election. It even reached the colored people. The claim is freely made by the colored workers for Speer that his majority is due to the colored vote. Certainly it can be said that he received more Negro votes than have ever been given to any man outside of the Republican party. The meetings, the personal work done, had much to do with this and it is a reasonable expectation that some consideration will be given the leaders on his side. We are sorry that a few, a very, very few, of the colored Speer workers, took our support of the Republican ticket as a personal affront. Certainly in no particular did we criticize them personally, but contented ourselves with making the arguments against their side and for our own, that were free from personality. For those who still feel rancor we are sorry. As a Republican newspaper we did our duty. --- PAGE. 8. THE ELECTION. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO.

GENERAL OFFICERS WERE ELECTED BY A. M. E. CONFERENCE. The election of general officers claimed the attention of the general conference on May 15. Prof. John R. Hawkins was elected commissioner of education; H. T. Kealing, editor of the A. M. E. Church Review; B. F. Watson, secretary of the Church Extension Society; G. W. Allen, editor of the Southern Christian Recorder, were unanimously elected, the only general officer thus elected. The result was as follows: Rev. John H. Collett was elected manager of the A. M. E. Book Concern, Philadelphia; W. W. Beckett, of Charleston, S. C., was elected secretary of Missions; John Hurst, of Baltimore, financial secretary. There was a lively time over the election of secretary of the A. M. E. Sunday School Union. The contest was between Rev. Dr. W. D. Chappelle and Ira T. Bryant, a layman. Bryant was elected, receiving 230 votes against Dr. Chappelle's 195. The election of Ira T. Bryant wins another place for the laymen. W. W. Allen, assistant editor of the Southern Christian Recorder, was aggressive in the election.—General Conference Daily. --- TRIED AND FOUND WANTING Trouble with Colored Boy Was "All Take Hold and Mighty Little Raise." A southern congressman who maintains an expensive establishment in Washington during the winter season is accustomed to leave the engaging of servants exclusively to the discretion of an old darky butler, who has for years been a devoted servitor. "Dick," said the congressman on reaching Washington one day not long ago, "that yellow boy Joe we had a short time last year wants to come back to me again. What do you think of him?" "Colonel George," responded the old butler, with convincing gravity, "I has tried dat boy an' he's no good, sah! I tested him in de case of movin' de pianner. I found dat when it comes to liftin', dat boy is all take hold an' mighty little raise. Dat's a pore sign o' character, Colonel George, a pore sign of character!"—Harper's Weekly. AN IMPENETRABLE PLACE. When Secretary Cortelyou left the department of commerce and labor to assume direction of the postoffice department he took with him a very dignified and gentlemanly old darky messenger. A day or two after Mr. Cortelyou's assumption of his new dignities the old messenger was dozing in his chair just outside the ante-room of the postmaster general when another messenger approached him, saying: "There's a gentleman in the room across the hall who wants to see Mr. Cortelyou." "He can't see him," was the firm reply. "But he says he must see him," persisted the second messenger. "I don't know nothin' about dat." returned the old chap; "but I do know dat nobody kin see Mr. Cortelyou. He's jest gone to his sanctum sanitarium."—Lippincott's. LIKE MOST OF THEM. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, OLYDADC. "Yes, my son is very brilliant. He has a poet's dream." "Ah, yes, I see. Dreams he is a poet." PERHAPS.

Second Stranger—I don't doubt it. Just wait here till I call a policeman. First Stranger—What for? Second Stranger—Burglars broke into my house the other night and left this umbrella. RESENTED THE REMARK. "They tell me," said the new reporter, who was doing an interview stunt, "that you have succeeded in forging your way to the front." "Sir," replied the self-made man, coldly, "you have been misinformed. I'm no forger." HEWOULD NOT DO. Little Girl—Please, have you a sheep's head? Facetious Butcher—No, my dear, only my own. Little Girl—It won't do. Mother wants one with brains in it.—Philadelphia Inquirer. AN HONEST CONFESSION. Said He—What made you look so worried at the opera to-night? Said She—I was afraid my hair wasn't on straight. A Word to the Wise. A corporation conducting a series of quick lunch places accords conspicuous position to a placard reading as follows: "A Suggestion—Perhaps a large number of our patrons who daily favor us with their money, instead of taking luncheon at 12 o'clock could just as conveniently come at 12:45 p. m., and thus find more comfortable seats; or they might arrange to fix 1:30 as lunch time, and thereby be afforded still more elbow space." Managers at several of the branches situated in business sections are authority for the statement that since the advent of the signs the high noon attendance has been larger than before.—N. Y. Press. A Theatrical Mix-Up. "So you support yourself by playing games of chance?" "No, sir; I gambol for a living." "What's the difference in your vowel?" "What's the difference—a vowel.

Anne Boleyn and Cleopatra, who were great chums, were strolling about Paris together one lovely spring afternoon, and after they had visited all the bargain counters of the more famous department stores of the French capital, their wanderings led them out upon the Place de la Concorde, in the center of which stands one of the several Cleopatra needles that have been taken from the borders of the Nile and re-erected in our modern cities Paris, London and New York. "It is a pretty thing, is it not?" said Cleopatra, gazing with much natural pride upon the towering monolith. "It is indeed," said Anne Boleyn, surveying it critically through her lorgnette. "But tell me, Cleopatra," she added—"I am very curious to know—was that really one of your needles?" "Yes," replied the Egyptian queen, "it really was. Why?" "Oh, nothing," said Anne, with a glance at Cleopatra's feet. "I suppose you used it to darn your stockings with?"—Harper's. DISTINGUISHED. "The man whom I marry," said the proud and beautiful girl, "must be one who is exceptional. I hate mere commonness." "Then be mine," urged the young man who had been refused by her 20 times before; "I am the one you are looking for." "You!" she enclaimed, making no attempt to conneal her derision; "what have you ever done to lift yourself above mediocrity?

"Beautiful. Never saw a handsomer one and everything went off without a hitch." "Without a hitch? So? What was the trouble? Didn't the minister get there?" "Get there? Why, yes! I tell you there wasn't a hitch from beginning to end." "No hitch! Well, tastes differ. You're too modern for me. I like weddings with a hitch in them. What good is a wedding where nobody's hitched?"—Life. THE BLUSHING BRIDE. A clergyman, having performed the marriage ceremony for a couple, undertook to write out the usual certificate, but, being in doubt as to the day of the month, he asked: "This is the ninth, is it not?" "Why, parson," said the blushing bride, "you do all my marrying, and you ought to remember that this is only the third."—Current Literature. What you have been has about as much relation to what you are as a mule has to a thoroughbred horse. When a man has too much time to devote to public affairs it is just as well to look what his private graft is. It is not the man who makes so much as it is the one who saves that finally becomes the victim of a broken bank.—Uncle Dick, in Milwaukee Sen- inel. --- PAGE. 9.
