TRANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN TWENTIETH YEAR DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY AUGUST 15 1908 FIVE CENTS A COPY Would Reap Where Baptists of State He Has Not Sown in First Organization As usual, Lawyer Stuart sneers at others, plays the Pharisee and even twists facts. What has he ever done, except for selfish personal gain? It is of vital importance to the business interests of the state and nation that the Republican party win this fall. It therefore is unfortunate that success has begotten jealousy and division, mushroom "reform" springing up even among colored Republicans. The fact that these "reformers" have sought entry to public notice through the press, compels us to devote some attention to their agitation, in order that such malicious animadversions of disappointed political ambition may be relegated to the rear. We brand a false intimation for what it is, in order that it may not be accepted as true, because it goes unchallenged. In an article appearing simultaneously in two papers, Lawyer Jos. H. Stuart of this city, after giving a resume of Denver politics, bringing out especially the candidacy of negroes for the legislature, makes an astonishing observation. Through three columns he meanders to weave his web and ends with this summary: "How is it that the objection has often been raised against our claims for recognition on the ground that we presented too many candidates for the same office, but in the last two campaigns, when the field was left free, clear and undisturbed to a single candidate, he was ignominously turned down? The writer can think of but one plausible answer, and that is, that the candidate put himself up as a dummy to be knocked down in order to handle a little money to run a Jim Crow campaign for the niggers and to be their boss." For a lawyer, who should know how to speak directly, the whole article is too wordy and vague. He recited his facts glibly, but draws back from be- ing equally positive in his conclusions and can get no further than a quavering question. His indecision is worth noting. All that he says of the former good record of the party we are willing to accept on his word. But he deduces only by inference. He strikes out boldly to say much, but instead of a mountain, behold, a mouse! There is a reason. In 1906, two years ago, J. W. Jackson was a candidate before the Republican county convention, for nomination to the legislature. He received about 50 votes. At the same time, Mr. Stuart's name was presented before the convention and received one vote. These facts he dare not challenge. And that is why he spraddles out when he comes to the conclusion of his denunciation of political conditions. Either his memory or his motives, or both, are at fault. There were two candidates. Mr. Stuart may not plead that his name was used without his authority, for that soft spot has long ago been copyrighted by other defeated candidates. We would be more charitable toward this censorship which he seeks to maintain over politics, if he had not stooped to criticism of "the leader" upon the ground of his ignorance, his incapability and his having risen from a janitorship. We would not be pharisicaical, but we sincerely thank kind heaven that not one jot or tittle of prejudice enters into our makeup, whereby we feel a superiority over any of our people. We have not all rubbed against college walls, we all may not enter the professions, but we all may have big hearts, honest hands and unselfish in- Contiuued on Page Eight Official Report given to the Public by Secretary List of Officers Chosen On Tuesday, Aug. 4th, 1908, the negro Baptists of the state of Colorado met at Colorado Springs with the St. John Baptist church. Eighty-two delegates registered from the different churches throughout the state and jurisdiction, and affected a permanent organization known as the Great Western Missionary Baptist Association. The object of this association is to promote the cause of Christ as represented by the Baptist denomination in Colorado and jurisdiction. This organization is composed of the following auxiliaries, namely: B. Y. P. U. Sunday School and Women's Mission Circle Conventions. The first session was called to order Tuesday, 2 p. m. by the temporary president, Mrs. Ella Johnson of Colorado Springs. Thirty minutes were spent in devotional services, after which a committee on enrollment and permanent organization were appointed. Dr. C. D. De France read a paper on "How To Develop Leaders for the Young People's Work." The paper was handled in a masterly way and was inspiring to all who heard it. The following named officers were elected: President, Dr. C. D. De France of Pueblo; vice-president, Miss Ella Johnson of Colorado Springs; second vice-president, Miss Lula Williams of Denver; third vice-president, Miss Cortelia C. Reynolds, Denver; recording secretary, Mrs. Ada E. Lee, Rocky Ford; corresponding secretary, Jemima Quillan, Pueblo; treasurer, Miss Ethel M. Laton, Denver; organist, Cora I. Hickman, Denver; musical director, Miss Beatrice Thrashley, Denver. Wednesday, 9 a.m., the Sunday School Convention was called to order by Mr. J. W. Jackson of Denver, the temporary president. After devotional services various committees were appointed. Among the many important things which took place was a very able and original production of a paper by Mrs. Dr. Lillian Jones of Denver. Subject, "How To Make the Sunday School Attractive," and demonstration how to teach a primary class, by Miss Mary J. Simes of Colorado Springs. Miss Simes displayed an ability in handling this subject which surpassed that of any ordinary teacher. After which the rules were suspended and Mr. J. W. Jackson of Denver was unanimously elected by acclamation president of the convention; first vice-president, Troy Brandon, Walsenburg; second vice-president, Miss A. Griggsby, Denver; corresponding secretary, Miss J. A. Quillan, Pueblo; recording secretary, Mrs. C. E. Fleming, Colorado Springs; treasurer, Mrs. M. O. Jackson, Denver; organist, Mrs. L. Brown, Colorado Springs; musical director, Mr. J. A. Russell, Denver. At 8 p. m. the women called their convention to order, Mrs. Lillian Smith presiding. Devotionals and appointment of committees by the chair. Paper by Mrs. M. E. Riley of Denver, which was very inspiring and took well with all who heard it. Mrs. Smith then made a report of her work throughout the state, which was very creditable and after much applause the rules were suspended and she was elected president and state missionary by acclamation. Thursday morning the association proper was called to order by the temporary moderator, Rev. R. W. Johnson, B. D., of Colorado Springs. After the devotional exercises and appointment of the various committees, the association listened to two able papers by Revs. J. L. Harding and J.

Paul Mounet appeared at Havre recently at the Missionary Bishop in "Le Duel," which we saw in New York last year with Eben Plympton and Otis Skinner. As he lighted a cigar at the wings an officer of the fire brigade informed him that he must not smoke in the theater. "But it is in the play," explained M. Mounet; "I am smoking as I go on and then I throw my cigar on the stage." "Very well," replied the officer. So. M. Mounet made his entree as usual, but following him were two firemen, one of them with a bucket of water and the other with a huge sponge. The audience, appreciating the situation, roared and applauded with delight, and M. Mounet carefully deposited his cigar in the bucket and wiped his fingers on the sponge before proceeding with the dialogue. They enforce the regulations against theater fires in France.—Sports of the Times. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO W. S. EVANS. Chairman Measures Hardness of Metals. Must Not Smoke in the Theater.

Seventy-five thousand fish were delivered at Hoquiam, valued at $35,000. This is 27,000 more fish than have ever been caught in any previous season. The Quinault Indians used advanced methods this season in fishing, going out beyond the breakers in their frail canoes and then setting their nets. Hundreds of fish were caught in the lagoons where they had been left by the receding tides. This enormous catch was made by 30 Indians and the entire tribe enjoyed the prosperity. They were paid in full at Hoquiam one day this week. —Tacoma Correspondent San Francisco Chronicle. An Apt Reply. Senator LaFollette, discussing the currency bill, said of a certain passage: "That needs delicate handling. It is like the position of the young man on his honeymoon. This young man's honeymoon was peculiar because, while still in mourning, he had married his deceased wife's sister. A friend of his, a chap he had not seen for years, accosted him on the honeymoon in a Niagara restaurant. The friend, after being introduced to the bride, said sympathetically: "But who are you in mourning for, old man?" "For my sister-in-law,' was the delicate reply." Certain Symptoms. "Bill," asid the farmer's boy in an awed whisper, "Jim has washed his face twice this morning." "Do tell!" ejaculated his lanky brother. "Well, visitors must be coming." "And he has put on a new shirt and a clean collar!" "Jumping June bugs! Why, he must be going to a picnic!" "And his shoes are blacked and every time you get near him you can smell hair oil." "Then that settles it. Bill has got a gal. Tell ma she can soon prepare for a new daughter-in-law. Never knew them thar symptoms to tail." LADIES' TAILORING. Fashionable dressmaking, designing. Mrs. I. M. McGuire, 2516 Curtis Street. PAGE. 10. Measures Hardness of Metals. An instrument to measure the hardness of metals has been recently devised, more especially designed and found very useful in the manufacture of tools like twist drills, where the hardness has to be kept between narrow limits. It consists of a glass tube, within which a steel ball of 40 grains' weight, treated by a special process so as to have jewel hardness, falls freely. The height of the rebound of the ball measures the hardness of the metal it strikes. Were the area of contact between the dropped weight and the metal larger, so that no appreciable dent were made, the rebound would be a measure of elasticity rather than hardness. The height of the rebound is measured on a scale, of which 100 is the average hardness of carbon steel, which is also found to be the safety limit for steel tools after reheating and tempering ready for use. Mischief Done by Gulls. That many of the gulls have become far too numerous during the last 15 or 20 years, thanks to coddling and overmuch protection, has become a patent fact to those who observe and understand the habits of these birds. Here and there measures are being taken to lessen the plague, and by some few county councils the protection once accorded has been withdrawn. Gulls are responsible for an enormous destruction of fish, as well as raids on the eggs and young of various birds. In many parts of Scotland the lesser black backed gulls have become the veriest vermin, in this respect rivaling the hooded crow and common rook, the latter another recent development of unwise overpreservation. Country Life. Fish Chased Ashore by Whales A serious menace to health threatened at Nahant by the large quantity of fish which have been thrown up on the beaches and rocks following, it is believed, the appearance of porpoises and large fish, supposed to be whales. Although the fishermen gather them as fast as the tide recedes, many are overlooked. It is the opinion of the natives that the fish, which include mackerel, hake, pollock and herring, all small in size, have been forced ashore by the larger fish, which have invaded the waters recently.—Boston Transcript. Baseball Fans. "Dear me!" remarked the perspiring old lady who was making her first visit to a baseball game. "I don't see how people can tell such terrible fibs." "What now, auntle?" asked the city niece, in surprise. "Why, the paper stated that there were thousands of 'fans' out here every afternoon and I am suffering with the heat and can't find one."

THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO, 8. 215° dt THE DEMAND FOR AN EDUCATED MINISTRY. Realizing the demand among the » negro people for an educated ministry, The Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute conducts in connection with its other departments a Bible Training School. The courses of study are so arranged that not only ministers and licen fates may be benefited, but those also who desire to do better mis- sionary work or become intelligent Sunday School teachers. The chief aim of the Bible Training School is to afford a comprehensive knowledge of the English Bible and to Implant in the hearts of those who attend an ambition to dedicate their lives to the elevation and Christian- ization of their people. Daily supple. mentary exerelses, designed to install habits of sobriety, cleanliness, regu. larity and accuracy, are provided. The teaching is wholly undenominational, the intention being not to oppose or antagonize any theological work being done elsewhete, but instead, to assist all denominations. During the past year, the enrollment in the Bible Training School has deen satisfactory, but the opportunity {s now provided for a considerably larger number. The teaching ts free. The cost of board, including furnished room, light, fuel, laundering, etc., is $8.50 per month. The entrance fee is $7.00, tc itoats in cash by each student wher h® registers. Students will be giver the opportunity to work out much o! the §8.50, in some cases all of it. Lack of means should not keep anyone from entering the Bible School. If the stu- dent-@ not afraid of work and study he will succeed. For further information, address: BOOKER T. WASHINGTON, Principal, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. IRRITABLE MAN HAS A “KICK.” Misuse of Apostrophe and Quotation Marks, Not to Mention “Kindly.” “There are two things that are mis. used a great deal,” said the irritable man, “and the mishandling of them annoys me a lot. For one thing, some persons haven't the vaguest idea of the proper use of the apostrophe. I've seen a word written this way, ‘auto’s,” which is meant only to indi- cate the plural of auto. Now, there isn't the very slightest excuse for that and it makes me sore every time I eee {t. Then again, other folks don't know what to do with quotation marks, I have seen a sign on an ele- vated station reading, ‘“Keys” with the “agent.”' Now, what earthly use are those quotation marks about the words keys and agent? None, none at all. There isn't any rhyme or reason in it.” “Well,” replied his Hstener, “there's another as bad as that. There's the use of the word ‘kindly.’ You hear a lot of folks using that atrocious vaude- ville phrase: ‘Thank you, kindly.’ That makes me sick. I saw the other day in Brooklyn a sign, ‘Gents will kindly not smoke.’ Only gents would use that sort of language,” Women as Chemists. “It is inexpedient publicly to en- courage women to adopt chemistry as a professional pursuit.” In this concise way is expressed the view of those members of the Chem- ieal society of Great Britain who dis- approve of the proposal to allow wom- en to become members. Out of 3,400 papers read on per- sonal researches during the last 35 years, only 23 have been contributed by women alone. There is a growing desire, however, on the part of many of our leading scientists to admit wom- en chemists to membership, and, as the wish has met with the strongest opposition from other members, the question is being put to a ballot Mme.. Curie is at present the only woman member, and she has been made merely an “honorary fellow,” with neither voting power nor eligibil- | ity for office on the council. Indians’ Big Catch of Salmon.

CLARK - RICHARDSON NUPTIALS AT TRUE REFORMERS' HALL UNKNOWN EVENT. Starting out with a wedding the week has been replete with social events but none had the flavor, surprise and livelliness as did the affair of Monday night. As usual the True Reformers met; the routine work was easily dispensed with and no one seemed nervous but the worthy mistress and the past grand master, until Rev. Reynolds appeared and everyone thought he came as a visitor, but at 10 o'clock, while the lodge was in the midst of important business, at the call of Mr. Clark, the worthy mistress, Mrs. Richardson, took her place beside him and Rev. Reynolds pronounced them man and wife. The women looked frightened, the men blushed, while the chief and officers looked wise. A complete surprise to all. The Fountain was invited to their home at 2028 Downing avenue, and found awaiting there Rev. Ward and wife, Miss Clark, Mesdames Connelly, Williams, Anna McPherson, Annie Crockett, Messrs. Williams and Irving Byron, to take part in an entertainment for Mrs. Richardson's guests. At the house all was pandemonium because of the congratulations and greetings. The house was decorated with sweet peas, white wedding bells, ferns and American Beauties, with bouquets of carnation pinks, revealing trueness and love. Never before has this occurred in any lodge and to think that this Western baby division has set the pace for all the Fountains in the connection to follow only shows the rapidity in which Chief Cash is carrying on his work.

STORM PLAYS A QUEER PRANK Twisted All Four Masts of Schooner James B. Drake. The four-masted schooner James B. Drake is at McPhee's shipyard in Boston undergoing repairs for one of the most peculiar accidents in the history of navigation. While cruising in southern waters the schooner was caught in a cyclonic storm which revolved around the vessel in such a manner that all four of her masts were twisted in their steps. When the ship carpenters investigated the schooner preparatory to beginning their work they could scarcely believe their eyes. Plainly some rotary motion of wind and storm had caught the poles in a leverage, forcing them just half way around. No explanation is offered for the masts not coming out of the vessel. All four are standing and have been carrying sail all the way to port. No other damage was received during the storm, and although the masts were turned they were not injured in the least. The accident is the first of its kind in the memories of the oldest navigators about the harbor. They say that of all the freaky gales reported of the tropics this is the strangest, and many refused to believe the story until they had visited the yard and viewed the schooner themselves.—Boston Transcript. HAVE STRONG SENSE OF SMELL Horses Little Inferior to Dogs In That Respect. The horse will leave musty hay untouched in his bin, however hungry. He will not drink of water objectionable to his questioning sniff, or from a bucket which some odor makes offensive, however thirsty. His intelligent nostrils will widen, quiver and query over the daintiest bit offered by the fairest of hands, with coaxings that would make a mortal shut his eyes and swallow a nauseous mouthful at a gulp. A mare is never satisfied by either sight or whinny that her colt is really her own until she has a certified nasal certificate to the fact. A blind horse, now living, will not allow the approach of any stranger without showing signs of anger not safely to be disregarded. The distinction is evidently made by his sense of smell and at a considerable distance. Blind horses, as a rule, will gallop wildly about a pasture without striking the surrounding fences. The sense of smell informs them of its proximity.—Horse and Stable. Antidote for Pneumonia. I first satisfied myself of the efficacy of my serum by experiments on animals. Then trials were made last winter in the St. Elizabeth and Stuyvenburg hospitals in Antwerp. Several of the patients had pneumonia in an advanced stage, and were also habitual drunkards, which always increases the gravity of the danger. In every case the serious symptoms were completely arrested within 36 hours, while the temperature and pulse again became normal. These results, says Dr. Bertrand of Antwerp in the Pittsburg Gazette-Times, were obtained with a total dose of serum not exceeding eight cubic centimeters, injected by doses of one or two cubic centimeters at a time. There is no known serum which takes effect with such small doses.

Serious punctures like intentional knife cuts, can be vulcanized like any other tire. Two Hundred Thousand pairs now in actual use. Over Seventy-five Thousand pairs sold last year. DESCRIPTION: Made in all sizes. It is lively and easy riding, very durable and lined inside with a special quality of rubber, which never becomes porous and which closes up small punctures without allowing the air to escape. We have hundreds of letters from satisfied customers stating that their tires have only been pumped up once or twice in a whole season. They weigh no more than an ordinary tire, the puncture resistant qualities being given by several layers of thin, specially prepared fabric on the tread. That "Holding Back" sensation commonly felt when riding on asphalt or soft roads is overcome by the patent "Basket Weave" tread which prevents all air from being squeezed out between the tire and the road thus overcoming all suction. The regular price of these tires is $8.50 per pair, but for advertising purposes we are making a special factory price to the rider of only $4.50 per pair. All orders shipped same day letter is received. We ship C.O.D. on approval. You do not pay a cent until you have examined and found them strictly as represented.

PATIENTLY PROGRESSING COLORADO 9 The art of fine writing is almost extinct, remarks a correspondent who has seen the illuminated manuscripts at the Burlington Fine Arts club. This was brought forcibly to his mind when he set about the task of finding some one who could write an illuminated address to be presented to an eminent person, which should reproduce the lost art of the monkish "scriptorium" rather than be a gorgeous specimen of the ticket writer's skill. He ran his man down at last in a small shop off Chancery lane, kept by a stationer who might have sat for the portrait of worthy Mr. Snagsby in "Bleak House."—London Chronicle. Dr. Thomas Claye Shaw of London, speaking on the subject of the special psychology of women, says that there is a psychology in clothes. It is useless to say that they dress as they do to please other women or please men. They dress simply because they have to in their own way and to their own satisfaction. The psychology of dress is that it appears to make you be what you profess to be. "I invited Mrs. Brown to spend a week with us, so that she could get a good, long rest." "Well." "And would you believe it the lazy thing came up here and never once offered to help me with the housework." Within the last few weeks The Statesman has sent notices to many of its out-of-town subscribers of their indebtedness. A recent order of the Post Office Department, regulating the matter admissable to second-class mail privileges, compels all newspapers to keep its subscription lists paid up. Many have responded to our letters, and the few who have not done so will please do so at once. It is essential that we conform to the postal regulations and we can easily do so with the co-operation of our patrons. Let each one who received a letter from us make acknowledgment of it PAGE 2. Curious Fishing Methods The natives living along the Pan Lung river have an odd method of fishing. Two dugout boats are used, each about 30 feet long, with two men with long poles, one in the bow, the other at the stern, punting the boat along. They stretch a long rope made of bamboo and plaited grass, about a hundred yards long, and weighted about every ten yards with big stones. This they let down into the water, and the fish are frightened toward the bank. The divers then jump in three at a time, remaining down about 20 seconds. They carry gaffs about 18 inches long, with cords attached. When they strike a fish they let go the gaff and the fish is hauled up into the boat. A big fire is lighted on the river bank for the men to warm themselves. Easy. Mrs. Carrie Nation, arrested in Pittsburg, said that she had been arrested 33 times. "I try to do good," she told a reporter. "In trying to do good I take life hard. Some folks, most folks, in fact, take it easy—as easy as the new hired girl wanted to take her new place. "'Everything goes by clockwork here,' the mistress said to this girl. 'By clockwork, mind you. You get up at six, you dine at 12, and you go to bed at ten.' "'Well, if that's all,' said the girl with a smile, 'I think I can manage it.'" Protecting the Miners. The American miner has been the object at one time and another of considerable sentimental sympathy, to which he has probably paid very little attention. The establishment of a government experiment station for the study of mine explosives is a much more practical kind of interest. It is to be hoped that the European example will be followed to the full extent of prohibiting the use of explosives that are proved unnecessarily dangerous and strictly limiting the amount of any explosive that can be used under given conditions.—Boston Transcript. An Apt Reply. Senator LaFollette, discussing the currency bill, said of a certain passage: "That needs delicate handling. It is like the position of the young man on his honeymoon. This young man's honeymoon was peculiar because, while still in mourning, he had married his deceased wife's sister. A friend of his, a chap he had not seen for years, accosted him on the honeymoon in a Niagara restaurant. The friend, after being introduced to the bride, said sympathetically: "But who are you in mourning for, old man?" "For my sister-in-law,' was the delicate reply." Certain Symptoms. "Bill," asid the farmer's boy in an awed whisper, "Jim has washed his face twice this morning." "Do tell!" ejaculated his lanky brother. "Well, visitors must be coming." "And he has put on a new shirt and a clean collar!" "Jumping June bugs! Why, he must be going to a picnic!" "And his shoes are blacked and every time you get near him you can smell hair oil." "Then that settles it. Bill has got a gal. Tell ma she can soon prepare for a new daughter-in-law. Never knew them thar symptoms to fail." THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORAD Confession of Venus Long after the visitors' hour in the art gallery the statues engaged in conversation. "Say, Vene," called Neptune's daughter, "tell us the truth. How did you lose your arms?" "You won't breathe it to any one?" asked Venus. "You don't mean to say that a woman would tell a secret, do you?" "Well, I'll tell you. I was trying to get my hands over my 'Merry Widow' hat to attach the hat pin and my arms snapped off." And the statues laughed so hilariously that Mars awoke from his nap and grabbed his spear.

For further information, address: BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. Principal. Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. Swallows Lack Nesting Places. The most important factor in the multiplication of bird life is the sufficiency of nesting sites, and every year the swallow's range of choice is circumscribed. He used to be the "chimney swallow," and it must have been a severe blow to the prospects of the race when instead of the wide, ledged chimneys we began to build straight, narrow flues, with no lodgings for the birds at any point. In may other ways houses and even farm buildings are being rendered more and more unsuitable for swallow guests, while the overmultiplying sparrow annexes most of the best sites which remain. The swallow, with his little soft beak and tiny feet, is no fighter.—Country Queries and Notes The best equipped Pleasure resort in the West. Ping Pong Pool and Billiards T. R. HERRON, Prop.

HAVE NO CHANCE FOR GOSSIP. One Argument in Defense of Reserve of City Life. There is much to be said of the custom prevailing in large cities, the indifference with which families regard each other. They may live with only a thin wall as a separation, and never know their neighbors by sight. It is heartless, in a way, to have no knowledge of misfortune which one might relieve, but it is rather agreeable to be able to live as one pleases with the certainty that prying eyes are not taking stock of economies and habits. It is almost impossible to begin a system of retrenchment in a town or neighborhood where there are keen eyes to inspect every movement and sharp tongues to discuss each discovery. So we have families always living beyond their means because they have not the moral courage to advertise their true financial condition. It is not wise to take the public into one's confidence. When it becomes necessary to give up a home it lessens the chances of recovering from pecuniary losses to allow the neighborhood to discuss the matter with certain knowledge. A graceful retreat can generally be managed save in gossiping places, and even there silence is much better than confession. HE WAS FACING A "DRY" DAY. Thirsty Man, True to Promise, Really in Desperate Straits. Charles M. Schwab, at the reception that he gave to the American Boiler-Makers during their convention in Detroit, said that among his many millionaire friends all were honest, and that he did not know of a single American millionaire who had made his money dishonestly. "But the millionaire looms big," said Mr. Schwab, "and everybody wants to find fault with him. We are as anxious to find flaws in our millionaires as old Bill Lush of Loretto was to find special occasions. "Yes, sir,' said Bill one night, 'I faithfully promised my wife 37 years ago never to take more than three drinks except on special occasions. Friday was my birthday, Saturday was Decoration day, Sunday my brother-in-law concluded a visit to us, Monday we had fine weather after a long wet spell, to-morrow my oldest girl's new directoire dress comes home; only today, durn it, I can't think of anything special.'" Irish Postage. On a recently received letter were two postage stamps, one the familiar red stamp, the other an unfamiliar stamp of a dull green, both canceled by the post office at which the missive had been mailed. The green stamp carried in the oval a figure in flowing robes discoursing sweet music upon a harp. In the top panel was the legend "Eirne," on each of the two side panels was the inscription "Sinn Fein," all the lettering being in the Irish character. The bottom panel displayed a couchant hound. On small shields in the four corners were the heraldic blazons of the kingdoms of Ulster, Munster, Leinster and Connaught. This Irish postage will not carry a letter far unless re-enforced by stamps of more solid collateral value, but it serves as a vent for national enthusiasm and contributes a little to the cause. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. HERE'S NEW KIND OF BURGLAR. Leaves Typewritten Note of Explanation and Also Appreciation. France has a fairly representative selection of burglars and other criminals, but the typewriter burglar is a novelty. He broke into a flat of an apartment house in Toulouse the other day and left the following letter neatly typewritten on a machine in the room: "Dear Sir and Colleague—I think by your untidiness that you are not a lady, but untidiness means a busy man. So I congratulate you. I can see that you are a professional typist, like myself, and guessing that you were one I looked into your box of papers for your keys and naturally found them there. "I have emptied the drawers of your table, out of which I have taken fr. 2.10 (41 cents). This is a low price for an evening's work, but I have also carried off some of your work, which I will study at my leisure. "Some of your translations are quite good; I do a little of it myself in my spare moments. I am not taking your machine, for you and I know how very nearly impossible it is to sell a second-hand typewriter. "You will forgive me, my dear colleague, for not signing this letter, and you need not fear a return visit from me. There is nothing worth taking in your rooms." WORTHY OF FLAG SHE CARRIED. Historic Incident Participated In by American Warship. Of the old sloop of war St. Mary's, now to be consigned in her sixty-fifth year to the tender mercies of the auction, it is written that she bore no conspicuous part in war in all her long service. This may be true, but the St. Mary's was once associated with an event which is worthy of commemoration. Under the command of the late Capt. Colvocoreses she was the means, 40 or more years ago, of postponing the bombardment of Valparaiso by the Spanish fleet. She was anchored before the city, and the Spanish admiral hinted that she was in the line of fire. Capt. Colvocoreses remarked that he was perfectly satisfied with his berth, and that while the St. Mary's carried but 22 guns, she represented a navy that had 2,200 guns at sea. Valparaiso was eventually bombarded, but not while Capt. Colvocoreses was present. The peculiar name of the ship commemorates an early colonial capital of Maryland. It was given in the same spirit of historical association as was illustrated by the Jamestown and the Plymouth, her sister ships.

Aren't the facts Identical?” And the old bachelor answered: “Ry no means, A widow {s so tim- fd and retiring that it is necessary to publish a notice to the effect that she stili hangs out at the same old sign. But a widower doesn’t need advertis- ing; he is as frankly a widower as a baby is a baby; and he’s like a baby, too—because the first six months he cries, the second six months he ‘takes notice,’ and he does mighty well if he geta through his second summer!” rAG_..«.

The Betsy Ross legend is quite harmless. Anybody may believe it who will. It is like the story of Washington and the cherry tree. No- body can prove that the youthful Washington did not chop a_ cherry tree. Very probably he did, and quite as probably he did not lie about it. But if it were proposed to erect a public monument to mark the spot where the cherry tree stood, we should ask for some more certain evidence of the accuracy of the story than Par- son Weems’ long subsequent narra- tive. That is all that the historians appear to beaskingabout the Betsy Ress legend. They are not attack- ing the memory of that estimable woman, nor the veracity of her de- scendants. Family tradition is to be respected. But family tradition that is not supported by contemporary rec- ords or other historical evidence is an insufficient basis for an official in- dorsement that is supposed to be au- thoritative and conclusive. Nobody wishes to spoil a good story, but those who are satisfied with family traditions ought not to ask anything more.—Philadelphia Ledger. hone Main 2275 “ TWO JIMS’ a= SOCIAL CLUR OP Denver's Favorite ao S | Pleasure Resort ; >| od Whist, pil, chess checkers ¥ 7 and othe: pastime games ¢ 1859 Champa Street IRRITABLE MAN HAS A “KICK.” Misuse of Apostrophe and Quotation Marks, Not to Mention “Kindly.” “There are two thinge that are mis- used a great deal,” said the irritable man, “and the mishandling of them annoys me a lot. For one thing, some persons haven't the vaguest idea of the proper use of the apostrophe. I've seen a word written this way, ‘auto's,’ which {s meant only to indi- cate the plural of auto. Now, there isn't the very slightest excuse for that and it makes me sore every time I see it. Then again, other folks don't know what to do with quotation marks. I have seen a sign on an ele. vated station reading, ‘“Keys” with the “agent.”’ Now, what earthly use are those quotation marks about the words keys and agent? None, none at all. There isn’t any rhyme or reason in it.” “Well,” replied his listener, “there's another as bad as that. There's the use of the word ‘kindly.’ You hear a lot of folks using that atrocious vaude- ville phrase: ‘Thank you, kindly.’ That makes me sick.

Facts Misrepresented Continued from Page One tentions, and the criticism of any negro because he shares the misfortunes of his race in having gone out to fight life's battles, with the handicap of no education, or that he has had had to do common labor to earn a living, comes with poor grace from those to whom we have a right to look for broader principles. Until such a day as God grants to us a flowering out of our possibilities, through the sacrifices of each succeeding generation, ignorance and poverty are legitimately our lot and shame upon the negro who has so little sympathy with his people! Least of all should such a criticism come from Mr. Stuart, for it was to a janitor, a man who has far less schooling than he, that he owes his nomination and election to the legislature in 1894. It was B. P. Johnson who fought all night in the inner caucus of the A. P. A. movement to secure his nomination. And when the community pays tribute to Mr. Stuart's past honors, it lauds in no less degree the unschooled Warwick that made him. Now that he is a leader unhorsed, and an ex-janitor occupying his place, it is ingratitude, it is cruel to the great masses of negroes who still toil and earn their bread with the sweat of their brow, for honest labor and lowly life to be made fun of. As inexplicable as is his course, judging from a racial standpoint, it is even more so from that of the party. It is easy to find fault. It is easy to disorganize. The Republican party is not perfect. But certainly Colorado Republicans do not deserve to be called "lily-whites," nor do they "Jim Crow" negroes. The party has a right to expect better of those who seek its honors than that they should discredit it upon street corners, and by inunendo in newspaper articles. There are a lot of nice gentlemen associated with the state and county organization, and to them and their credit it may be said that the avenues of employment for negroes are increasing and growing better with each year. They have kept the statutes clear of the laws that trammel our race and disgrace other states. It is now due ourselves, it is due them as our friends, that we look forward, not backward; that we plan, not criticise; that we make our Republicanism felt for the salvation PAGE. 8. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. of the country and the success of the party. Fourteen years ago the negroes of this county gave to Mr. Stuart the highest honor in their gift. But neither his record while in the legislature nor since gives him any standing with them such that he can assume political dictatorship. And even if he had a record for public service it is not his prerogative to play the snob because he is intelligent, nor manufacture evidence to bolster up his argument. The people have a right to expect better of men of his intelligence than that they should hold aloof because of superior attainments. The Republican party has sized him up for what he is, and has refused to respond to his blandishments for renomination, and he fails utterly to understand his own community if he thinks his services are expected by his race, where unselfish work for it is needed. Snobbery and misrepresentation are legitimate principles of those who would reap where they have not sown. Knights of Pythias The Grand Lodge of the Knights of Pythias of Colorado and jurisdiction met Tuesday morning at 1712 Curtis street, with Grand Chancellor W. R. Hardy of Pueblo presiding. The lodges represented were Damon and Pythias lodges of this city, Pleasant Home of Colorado Springs, Golden Eagle of Walsenburg, Silver State, Star of the West and Columbine and Prospect Point of Trinidad. Besides the representatives of these lodges there were present several grand lodge members by virtue of past officimes. The first day's session concluded with public services at Shorter, the second day with memorial services at Central and the third day with a public reception and entertainment at Bloomfield Park. The following officers were elected: J. H. P. Westbrook of Denver, grand chancellor; H. B. Fox of Colorado Springs, vice-chancellor; C. W. Young, Denver, prelate; C. S. Muse, Denver, grand keeper of records and seal; L. L. Duncan, Colorado Springs, grand master of exchequer; H. Cairson of Pueblo, grand master at arms; W. Watkins, Pueblo, outer guard; A. R. Butler, Denver, inner guard; Dr. Huff, Pueblo, grand lecturer; Dr. Grant, Colorado Springs, grand medical examiner. Rain nor cloud deterred the people from turning out Thursday night to the picnic of the Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias. They were there in a record-breaking crowd and had plenty of good time until the visitors from Colorado Springs went to their train. The local grand lodge committee scored a big success in their arrangements. TERMS. M. B. REV. E. W. MOORE, OF PHILADELPHIA Rev. E. W. Moore of Philadelphia was the speaker at Zion church last Sunday morning and evening. The many dear memories which cling to people and pastor of other days, made the service one of much gladness and spiritual uplift. Rev. Moore is one of the strong men of his city, and his clear presentation of gospel truth, clothed with ample illustration taken from a broad experience, marked his addresses as excellent. The congregation was large at both services and he held a levee after each service, meeting any well known to him and making new acquaintances. Come out and hear how they drove the "Clansman" out of Philadelphia. Tuesday evening at Zion Baptist church Rev. Moore will lecture. He was the man who forced Thomas WILLING WORKERS' FAIR. The Willing Workers of Zion church will hold a fair at the church beginning on the 25th and continuing three nights. They have prepared many articles and a great variety.

A twenty-five-cent ticket entitles the holder to ice cream and cake and watermelon, or chicken. This is a benefit for her small children. There was a fair-sized crowd leaving for Salt Lake City and the Masonic grand lodge Tuesday morning. It was composed of Messrs. H. R. Butler, W. A. Watkins and wife, Thos. Richmond, F. T. Bruce, Wm. Sprague, J. R. Contee, H. R. Jones, James Cartwright. Rev. Ward preached an excellent sermon at Scott M. E. church, at the sacramental service. To begin with, it was certainly inspiring and ennobling to see how closely the pastors stick together in their work, clearly impressed upon their respective congregations the beauty and value of what a united community means spiritually. A union among the spiritual leaders will compel a closer unity among the various congregations. It is useless to say a spiritual time was had as the very conditions warranted that. "A Woman Leader of the Deed" is a title given in Virgil's Aenead in the building of Carthage by Queen Dido. But when the friends and members of Shorter's Sunday night witnessed what Miss Cole did everybody seemed surprised at the choir. The singing for harmony and attack, as well as expression, was the best had in a long time. Miss Cole needs to be highly commended in coming in as a stranger and rendering such valuable aid. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. HIRAM COMMANDERY U. D. I. G. Gilmore, deputy E. G. C. of Colorado and jurisdiction, with the high power invested in him, and with a dispensation granted him by Right E. G. C. J. W. Moore of Chicago, Ill., and jurisdiction, on the 22nd day of July, 1908, set up a commandery of Knights Templar, to be known and styled as Hiram Commandery and to be stationed in the city of Denver, state of Colorado. This commandery consists of the following officers: B. Hill, E. C.; Geo. S. Contee, Gen'l Ism; I. G. Gilmore, Captain General; L. C. Connell, Prelate; Orestes Murphy, Treasurer; Thomas W. Richmond, Recorder; John McAdow, S. W.; J. Nelson, J. W.; Jos. T. Watkins, Warden; Edgar B. Frohman, Standard Bearer; Geo. A. Derry, Sword Bearer; Thos. J. Boyce, Captain of Guards. Members—Basil Hill, Geo. S. Contee, Isaac G. Gilmore, L. C. Connell, Orestes Murphy, Thomas W. Richmond; John M. McAdow; James Nelson; James T. Watkins; Edger B. Frohman, Geo. A. Derry, Thomas J. Boyce, John L. Little, Geo. O. Duncan, Plim J. Jackson, Dr. E. L. Faulkner, Robert E. Stewart, William C. Gaskin, Henry J. Foster, Homer Davis, Mathew Norwood, Geo. J. Anderson, Richard Oliver, Dr. T. Gay, James Cartwright, King H. Hayes, Walter Levell, Francis T. Bruce, Caleb Allen, John B. Moore. Unity in all. After the commandery was set up with the assistance of Thos. J. Riley, Otha Johnson, Augustus Dyer, William Finley of Red Cross Commandery No. 11 of Denver, Colo., a swell lunch was served to the six knights at the expense of I. G. Gilmore, Deputy E. G. C. The Committee on By-Laws appointed was Geo. S. Contee, chairman: Isaac G. Gilmore, Thomas W. Richmond. The work of the Templars in this city has received a decided impetus from the organization of this new commandry and it is no little credit to the deputy that set them up to have so much progress so quickly. Mr. Gilmore will leave for Chicago today, where there will be held the National Conclave. DRESSMAKING BY THE DAY OR AT HOME. Address EVA CARTER, 2111 Arapahoe street. REPORT OF REV. A. E.
