FRANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN Republican League of Colorado Colored Republicans Organize to give Battle to the Democrats and Condemn the Disorganizers who Claim to be Republicans TWENTIETH YEAR Republican Colored Republicans Organ Democrats and Conder Claim to be Republican The Republican campaign in Colorado so far as the colored voters are concerned was launched last Saturday afternoon. Beginning on Friday and continuing up to 2 p. m., the hour of convening, representative men from all over the state were arriving in response to a call for conference sent out by J. W. Jackson of this city. From the north, the south, and as far west as Grand Junction, they came. They were not confined to any class of endeavor, but embraced the active political workers, the business men, the mine workers, the ministers, the publishers, professional men and workers in all trades. As was so well said by Rev. J. C. C. Owens of Pueblo, the gathering was "the finest I have ever seen since the war." Enthusiasm was on tap, and the G. O. P. was lauded by speeches and in resolutions. Everybody had something to say. The state of public opinion in the various sections was related from first hand knowledge. Plans were made for strengthening the faithful and reclaiming the indifferent. What class of meeting it was can best be judged by the personnel of those in attendance. They were: Colorado Springs—T. J. Manley, E. C. Cammell, F. W. Roberts, H. C. Coleman, A. C. Battles, L. L. Duncan. Salida—J. E. Bruce, J. Wilson. Grand Junction—J. S. Harris. Rocky Ford—G. W. Gross, L. J. Starks. Walsenburg—Rev. J. H. Harding, A. J. Steele. Williamsburg—J. H. Evans. Canon City—Thos. Russell, Col. Rice, O. Walton, D. L. Burton. Pueblo—Dr. S. P. Douglass, W. Hood, J. Marsh, J. H. Pennington, J. J. Jennings, J. H. D. Hill, J. Williams, DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY AUGUST 29 1908 Dr. DeFranz, Rev. J. C. Owens, D. D. Taylor, Hon. W. B. Townsend, M. B. Brooks, G. W. Moore. Boulder—O. White, A. W. Lewis.

S. Payne, Rev. J. W. Sanders, Rev. A. M. Ward, Rev. J. B. Beckham, E. D. Allison, Rev. A. E. Reynolds. A. Newsome, Rev. J. H. Brown, T. Dixon, C. C. Clark, Wm. O. Bryant, H. Marks, A. J. Bradford, C.

E. Spratlin, T. Campbell, Wm. Campbell. The meeting was called to order by Mr. Jackson, after which Geo. W. Gross of Rocky Ford was chosen temporary chairman and W. A. Gatewood of Eastonville secretary. Committee appointments were made, resolutions, address to the people and permanent organization being the three divisions. The report of the last named was taken up first, the report being offered by C. B. Hill, the chairman, and upon its unanimous adoption, J. W. Jackson became permanent chairman and W. A. Gatewood secretary. It was further decided to have the chairman empowered to appoint a campaign committee which shall assist him in counsel and in organization throughout the state. The introduction of resolutions resulted in the adoption of the following as the sense of the meeting: Continued on Page Five Young Men Score Social Triumph The Pendennis Club gives Denver the Social Treat of Years----A Crush in Attendance Handled with Ease and Gracious Hospitality The Pendenis club is the new star that has burst upon Denver's social horizon and lighted up the way. Its initiatory appearance was at an afternoon reception and evening dancing party at Dania hall Tuesday. Years have passed since anything so ambitious socially has been attempted in this city, and the praises of the numerous guests, especially of the visitors from other cities where society is more highly organized, attest the excellence of the hospitality of our young men. Long lines of carriages, especially in the evening, brought the guests, who it is needless to say were of the best in the city and visiting here. Youth and age, wit and beauty, lad and lassie, were there. Several of the social elect assisted the hosts in caring for their guests, especially in serving the buffet luncheon. It is rare for such gallant courtesies to be extended with goodfellowship and pleasure to all. The Pendennis club has come and seen and conquered. The mural decorations and the flower display has seldom been equalled anywhere. The club is composed of: Q. J. Gilmore, president; C. O. Mallery, vice-president G. K. Williams, secretary; N. G. Walker, treasurer; C. M. Harris, corresponding secretary. L. L McGruder, chairman; A. F. Rhodes, C. E. Langston, W. E. Parks, S. J. Smitha. Memlers. J. E. Conway, W. Pinchback, H. Johnson, R. Bolden, R. Davis, J. H. Price, J. W. Morri, L. Hubbard, J. Carruthers, W. Sutton, Will Elliot, Ed Staley. FIVE CENTS A COPY Score al Triumph Denver the Social Treat Attendance Handled with pitality KNIGHT TEMPLARS CONCLAVE Deputy I. G. Gilmore and L. C. Connell have returned and report it the finest gathering of Negro Masons they have ever witnessed. Money was spent lavishly for their entertainment and the high character of the men there made it an enjoyable social treat. Mr. Connell was chosen Captain of the Guards, an honor conferred out of respect for Hiram commandery of this city. It was given its warrant and started out on the road to greater influence and usefulness. The Inter-Ocean of Chicago, referring to the conclave of Knights Templar of Illinois jurisdiction in that city, said: ' That the police of Chicago do not fear an uprising between the white and colored citizens was proved yesterday when permission was given to the Negro Knights Templar to hold their annual parade. Nearly 3,000 colored Masons paraded through the streets of the South side. Seventy detectives and policemen were detailed to guard the marchers by Assistant Chief Schuettler, and the crowds that lined the sidewalks did not make any attempt to molest the marchers. The police had been given orders to arrest any person making insulting remarks to the men, but no arrests were necessary. Assistant Chief Schuettler assumed personal command of the policemen and placed two uniformed men at each hstreet corner on the line of march. Mrs. Margaret Young, Miss Eunice Barnett, Mrs. Lillie Cobb and Charles Cobb of Excelsior Springs, Mo., are visiting in the city. They were entertained at Elitch's Gardens Saturday by Mrs. C. A. Burton. --- Australian Country Homes. In the Blue mountains, three nours from Sydney, are many beautiful country houses, mostly bungalows with wide verandas all round, where Sydney people fly in February and March to get away from the heat of the city by the harbor. To Tempt the Fish. It was always the custom of the Maoris, the primitive inhabitants of New Zealand, to put the first fish that they caught back into the sea "with a prayer that it might tempt other fish to come and be caught." Uncle Eben on Spellbinding "De difficulty 'bout some o' dese campaign speeches," said Uncle Eben, "is dat dey makes me so powerful enthusiastic dat I can't remember js' whut de gemman were talkin' bout!" —Washington Star. Two Things Worth Remembering. Learn these two things: Never be discouraged because good things get on so slowly here, and never fail daily to do that good which lies next to your hand.—George MacDonald. Pined for His Freedom. Applying for a divorce, an old Georgia negro said to the judge: "Hit only cost me a string er fish ter git married, jedge, but, please God, I'd give a whale ter git rid er her." Derivation of "Poster." Posters took their name from the fact that in former times the footways of London streets were separated from the drives by a line of posts, on which advertisements were displayed. Logic and Beauty. A woman may not be logical when she undertakes to argue, but if she is only pretty enough, that doesn't make any earthly difference.—Somerville Journal. A Merry Jest. He—"Miss Ticks is in town." She—"Who's Miss Ticks?" He—"Why, Miss Polly Ticks, don't you know?"—Chicago Record-Herald. City Without Newspapers. Bagdad has no newspapers in which it would pay to advertise. There is really but one publication, and that devotes its columns entirely to government notices. Correcting a Misapprehension. "You musn't call Gibraltar an island, Johnny," said Mrs. Lapsling. "It's a high point of land extending into the sea, and is called a prominent tory." Manhattan's Dense Population. Manhattan is the most densely populated island in the world. It has a population of 99,150 persons to the square mile. Ideals. Cherish ideals as the traveler cherishes the north star, and keep the guiding light pure and bright and high above the horizon.—Hillis. Confidence. The surest way to destroy people's confidence in you is to continually question the motives of others. Camel Can Carry Heavy Load. A camel is able to carry a load three times greater than the horse. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Electrical Air Filters. Electric air filtration is the idea of an English engineer, and is based on the discovery that a body positively electrified by 100 volts or more will become covered with soot in a single day in a smoky atmosphere, while a negatively charged body remains clean. Inserting a sheet of wire gauze in the intake flue of a ventilating system and electrifying it by connecting to a 250-volt supply main, the gauze extracted a large quantity of soot from the air. New Kinds of Dogs. It is an astonishing phenomenon that 700 Pekingese, Poms, Japanese and toy spaniels should be collected at a ladies' show when it is remembered many of these species were not even known in England less than 50 years ago. And new species continue to come. The flat-coated Austrian dachshunds and the huge Pyrenean watchdogs are both new and are both species which have the best qualities in a dog, fidelity and intelligence. London Spectator. German Level of Comfort. Only by taking them into consideration can you explain the paradox that with higher rent, lower wages, and longer hours the German working class maintain a higher level of domestic comfort and physical vigor, and their children are better cared for than our own.—Dr. Arthur Shadwell, in London Times. Mourning Colors. Black is practically the prevailing color for mourning among Europeans and their kin the world over, but other peoples have other colors—the Chinese white; the Egyptians and Burmese, yellow; the Syrians, sky-blue; the Persians, pale brown; the Turks, violet.—New York American. Bad Climate for Furniture. China is a bad place for furniture. In the summer months it is so damp that furniture put together with glue falls apart and drawers stick, while in the dry months furniture goes to the other extreme and often exhibits cracks half an inch or more in width. Go to the woods, cut a medium-sized sapling,, peel the bark off, and lay the sapling where the fleas abound in hog bed or stable. The fleas will jump on the white wood and be so busy with the sap or moisture that the sapling can be taken up, carried away, and dropped with its full passenger list of fleas. The operation may be repeated until all the fleas are carried off. That is the plan of a great cypress brother in black.—Barnwell (S. C.) People. Value of African Peanut. The African peanut is less delicate than the American as an article of food, but it yields more generously in oil, and is more easily crushed. One Idea of Wealth. Our idea of wealth is feeling financially able to contribute to a campaign fund.—Atchison Globe. Country Without Reptiles. Newfoundland is without reptiles. It is said that no snake, frog, toad or lizard has ever been seen there. Modesty. Hare: Modesty is only another name for self-knowledge. Scotch Superstition. Under no circumstances on the northeast coast of Scotland will a fisherman at sea mention certain objects on land, such as "minister," "kirk," "swine," "dog," etc., and the line will surely be lost if a pig is seen while baiting it. As on the land chickens must not be counted until they are hatched, so at sea fish must not be counted until they are all caught. Lime Water Good for Teeth. Physicians who have experimented believe that excellent results are obtained for the teeth by the use of simple lime water. It is claimed that the reason of the fine bony structures of people and horses in the blue-grass region of Kentucky is due to the lime-soaked vegetation. It is argued that a mild amount of lime taken into the system when a child will improve the structural condition of the teeth. Prosperity and Adversity. If we do not suffer ourselves to be transported by prosperity, neither shall we be reduced by adversity. Our souls will be proof against the dangers of both these states; and, having explored our strength, we shall be sure of it; for, in the midst of felicity, we shall have tried how we can bear misfortune.—Lord Bolingbroke. Thoreau's Sensible Answer. When the forest-haunting hermit Thoreau lay on his deathbed, a Calvinistic friend called to make inquiry regarding his soul. "Henry," he said, anxiously, "have you made your peace with God?" "John," replied the dying naturalist, in a whisper, "I didn't know that God and myself had quarreled!" Derivation of "Sheeny." The word "Sheeny," as applied in an opprobrious way to Jews, is by some identified with the word "Chien," which is French for "dog." But others identify this word with "Shien," the initial letter in "Shekinah," which makes the original application of the term an honorable one. His New Schedule. "Mister William," said the old Georgia darkey, "ef you'll gimme a beaver, an' a long-tail coat, an' a standin' collar, an' dem ol' shoes what you use ter see de snakes in, I'll go preachin' er de Gospill, an' won't ask no mor' favors er you 'twell next time!'"—Atlanta Constitution. "As Vain as a"—Pigeon. The peacock is not singular in his self-admiration. Pigeons are so notorious for the same vice that it is, I am told, illegal to put a looking glass in a dovecot, as it would attract and retain the birds from the neighboring pigeonhouses.—George J. Murray, in London Spectator. The Latest Precious Stone. A new gem mineral-benitoite-has been added to the list of known precious stones. This is a titanosilicate of barium, having a blue color and a high refractive index. It is found in San Benito county, California. LADIES' TAILORING. Fashionable dressmaking, design ing. Mrs. I. M. McGuire, 2516 Curtis street. PAGE. 10. Put Blame in Right Place. Bachelors are fond of talking about the extravagance of women and giving that as the excuse for their not marrying while they know in their hearts that there are lots of women whom they might marry who are not extravagant, as regards clothes at least. But these women they look upon as dowdies, and don't want them for life partners, which goes to show that it is the extravagance of the bachelor that reacts and makes extravagant women.—Exchange. The Official Mind. The government requires 43,925 quarts of writing fluid (recent statistics) simply because when the government wants to tell a man—say, an examination candidate—to sit down at his desk, it says not "Pray be seated," but "The candidate (or candidates) is (or are) requested and commanded to take (or adopt) his (or her) seat (or seats) at the table (or tables) with his (or her) pen (or pens) in his (or her) hand (or hands)."—The London Daily Mirror. Whistling in English Streets. In England whistling is very common among all classes, and, indeed, it is rare in London to see a butcher or a grocer boy on his daily errands whose lips are not pursed up for the purpose of emitting the whistling notes of the comic song of the hour. So prevalent is the habit that in hotels, and even in clubs, requests are posted up to "refrain from whistling." Regular Harvesting of Peas. Peas are harvested in California just as wheat and other crops are farther east. Large Chinese Import. England sends to China every year 6,000,000 pounds of condensed milk and 5,000,000 pounds of biscuits. Advice from Ancient Sage. A wise man should not refuse a kindness.—Herodotus. Greek Proverb. Happy are the miseries that end in joy. Death by Lightning. The supreme deity in the Greek and Roman religions, Zeus or Jupiter, was supposed to be the manipulator of the lightning, and the person struck down by one of the fiery bolts was especially distinguished, inasmuch as he had been felled directly by the king of the gods. The dignity of the killer was reflected upon the killed. In addition to this, the opinion was quite universal that the bodies of those struck by lightning were incorruptible.—New York American. A Sweet Nature Fake. Failing to bite sugar from several lumps, some marked bees under observation by Gaston Bonnier, a French naturalist, flew away, returning in an hour or two with two other workers, after first visiting a fountain. Settling on the sugar, they were seen to pump water from their crops, when they sucked up the syrup so formed. Baltimore American. His Mug. An Irishman went into a barber shop, and was compelled to wait a long time. When he finally climbed into a chair, the barber asked him: "Have you a mug?" Yes," replied the Irishman, "and I want you to shave it quick."—Atchison Globe. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. aaletodernelunohroomitcercCanital’ a1 = 2 ee oe eT aagek “Tis a safe bet that every blessed in- dividual in Washington who has ever patronized a local quick-lunch is tickled to death at the gloriously awakened condition of the health de- partment officials and the general housecleaning that is going on in con- sequence. I can add, as a subject for further joy, that a quick-lunch com- pany in New York that has model lunchrooms in pretty nearly every big city in the east save Washington is negotiating for a long-term lease of the ground floor of a centrally located building in our town. If the deal goes through—and there appears to be strong probability that it will—Wash ingtonians will have a chance to see what a modern sanitary lunchroom looks like. The order cooking is done by chefs in spotless white, in a tiled electric kitchen in the middle of the dining room, while by an arrangement of electric fans and forced draughts not a particle of smoke or odor reaches the guests. Prices are no higher, eith er, than in some of the hopelessly un clean and insanitary loca! establish- ments after which the health depart- ment authorities are now hot-footing —Washington Star. Wishes. Anger wishes that all mankind had only one neck; love, that it had only one heart; grief, two tear glands; and pride, two bent knees.—Jean Paul Friedrich Richter. May Be Origin of “23.” Telegraphers have a yarn to the effect that "way back “23” was used for a death message, but veterans of v key do not recall the employment numerals, As the Physician Sees It. Says the Philosopher of Folly, “When you overhear the doctor say- ing that yours {is ‘a beautiful case, you may know that you are pretty badly hurt.” Queer Family Pride. “Family pride,” remarked the Philos- opher of Folly, “is a strange thing. It appears to make many people look down upon certain members of their family.” Hard to Tell. It is sometimes hard to tell whether {t is the man hanging to the habit or the habit hanging to the man.—Flori- da Times-Union. Repartee. “You,” he complained, “would cause a saint to fall from grace.” “Oh, you egotist!” she sneered.—Chicago Ree- ord- Herald. Tips Grown Cold. “Most of us,” said Uncle Eben, “puts in a whole lot of our lives verifyin’ advice dat we might jes’ as well have took in de fus’ place.” Coins Not to Wear. It is unlawful to drill a hole into a penny or otherwise mutilate it Yor the purpose of using it as an ornament. Hallmark of Truth. Eliot: The very truth hath a color from the disposition of the utterer. Immense Asparagus Bed. There is an asparagus bed covering 20 acres in California. London's Population. The population of London, 6,549,- 000, standing shoulder to shoulder, would form a human wall 1,800 miles long; or put on an area of 0.7 square mile or on a square having sides of O84 of a mile. Spurious Politeness. “Politeness,” observes the Philoso- pher of Folly, “is very often a base imitation. The man who gets up to give a lady his seat in a crowded car is usually the man who has to get off at the next street.” Monopoly of Camphor Oil. Parsee merchants have a monopoly of the manufacture of camphor oil at Foochow, China, controlling 17 dis- tilleries, and export most of the prod- uct to India. High Winds on the Desert. In the sandy deserts of Arabia, whirling winds sometimes excavate pits 200 feet in depth and extending down to the harder stratum on which the bed rests. Be Not Pleased with Thyself. Be always displeased at what thou art, if thou desire to attain to what thou art not; for where thou hast pleased thyself, there thou abidest— Francis Quarles. No Fear Now. No need to fear Japan. An ofl trust has begun to work over there, and now the nation never will have any money.—Detyoit News. Accounted For, It's hard to tell whar becomes of the pins, but a little girl up north has just coughed up a shoe button.—Atlanta Journal Origin of Term “Yankee.” “Yankee” is from endeavor of In- dians to pronounce the word “En- glish,” which they rendered “Yeng- hees.” All Natural Believers. We are natural believers. Truth, or the connection between cause and effect, alone interests us.—Emersos. | PDPDPPPPPPDD DID PDIPPPP PI DDID LLL _ Mrs. H.

We have the idea that our American railroads kill many passengers. Yet almost ten trespassers are killed to every passenger killed. We believe that the trainman takes his life in his hands; yet more than twice as many trespassers annually sustain fatal accidents, says Orlando F. Lewis in the Atlantic. When we read that in five years 23,974 trespassers were killed by railroads, and 25,236 trespassers injured, we wonder that there should be left living a single Jack the Hobo to wash his shirt. In these five years there were more trespassers killed than there are inhabitants in Bangor, Me., or Burlington, Vt. Were this army of the dead lying but three feet apart along the trackside in ghastly regularity, they would stretch out for nearly 14 miles. At a brisk walk, it would take four hours to reach the end of the line. And then, were all those reported injured in the last five years lying but three feet apart, we should be obliged to walk for more than four hours more, before we reached the end of this second line. The Baltimore & Ohio representative said that many railroads maintain private "tramp graveyards," in which are buried many of the unknown dead, without inquest and with expedition. Question: How many city graveyards could be annually filled with the unrecorded, unreported vagrant dead? One who was drawn as a juryman in Brooklyn asked to be excused from duty on the ground that "the present method of juggling the law" seemed to him to be a waste of the juror's time. The judge retorted, "You are not fit to be a citizen, much less qualified to serve as a juror." Most people will agree with the judge, because although the juror as a citizen has a right to his opinion on court methods and the administration of the law, he was wrong in offering that opinion as a reason for objecting to do citizen's duty. That a man believes the existing method of taxation to be wrong does not excuse him from paying his own taxes. A congressman may hold that a declaration of war is immoral and vote against it, says the Youths' Companon, but he cannot on that account regard himself as exempt from military service. A most noble and stimulating discussion of these problems will be found in a recent book by Prof. Josiah Royce, "The Philosophy of Loyalty," wherein a man's duty to his own beliefs is held to be subordinate to his duty to beliefs which are greater than the individual. A tramp recently prevented a wreck on a New England railroad and explained that he did it as a mark of his gratitude for many free rides. Still it is not likely that there will be any attempt to make the bumpers more comfortable than they have been in the past.

Very few people would intentionally add to another's load or make his burden in life heavier or his path rougher. Most of the great heart-wounds are inflicted by thoughtless thrusts, flung out often in a moment of anger, when, perhaps, we were too proud to apologize or to try to heal the grievous wounds we had made. Can anything be more cruel than to discourage a soul who is struggling to do the best he can, to throw stumbling blocks in the path of those who are trying to get on in the world against great odds? asks Success Magazine. No life is just the same after you have once touched it. Will you leave a ray of hope or one of despair, a flash of light or a somber cloud across some dark life each day? Will you by thoughtless cruelty deepen the shadow which hangs over the life, or will you by kindness dispel it altogether? No matter how you feel or what is disturbing your peace of mind, never allow yourself to send out a discouraging, a cruel or an unkind word or thought. One of the professors at Cambridge university, England, has recently published a book in which the statement is made that the Americans use better English than the English people themselves. He remarks that he sees no objection to employing Americans to teach English in the English schools, "because they give attention to the subject and know what they are talking about." There is one fact that might be remarked in this connection—Americans are not so much given to what are termed "provincialism" as their English cousins, and the pronunciation among even the more ignorant classes in America is much better than the pronunciation among the same classes in England. However, this is only one of the ways in which we are always the equal, and sometimes the superior, of the mother country. Even the English "made in America" is the better. Trade and scientific journals, as well as newspapers throughout the country are quoting what a local manufacturer of Detroit, Mich., has to say about the development of the automobile industry. He gives a large share of the credit to the rich buyer of the early motors, who bought the crude product at fancy prices and spent his money tinkering and improving it. He kept mum about its weaknesses instead of exploiting them. "Instead of knocking he boosted even when he had very little to boost." The rich not only placed their money where it would help development, but actually suggested some of the best improvements that have been made. They made possible the manufacturing of good cars. The board of health of New York city has issued an order requiring all persons who milk cows to wear white duck overalls and jackets, else the milk will not be allowed to enter New York.

If a man should come tramping into your parlor, besmearing the rugs or carpets with the mud, slime and filth that had adhered to his boots as he worked in thg sewers or walked in the wet gutters, there would be an ex- ceedingly lively protest and a very thorough cleaning after he had been ordered out or kicked out. A resort to violent measures to get rid of such en affront and menace would be up- held by the courts and by public senti- tcent.

America has offended some of fts profoundest European critics by its chronic optimism. What an American philosopher calls the religion of healthy-mindedness flourishes in this country more than in any other; our determined good cheer and faith in prosperity make the sad-eyed world shake its wise head. The same critics will no doubt find another example of our incorrigible shallowness in the National Prosperity association, re cently formed in St Louis, and will think its motto, “Give us a rest and sunshine,” hopelessly silly. But un- derneath this campaign of optimism, Says the Youths’ Companion, is some hard American business sense, and boards of trade and other business or- ganizations all over the country have joined {n an application of mind-cure to the financial depression. =a) WM.

Worth Importing. It seems that in Germany the more a man is in love the harder he studies. In this country he cuts school and gets married. We are in favor of a reciprocal treaty which will establish the German method here.—Philadelphia Inquirer. An Observation. One of the most annoying things in life is to fall in a coal hole, or stumble over an uneven bit of pavement, and get badly enough hurt to make you ill all day, but not badly enough to be able to recover damages from the city. Offered Proof at Once. Few possess the quickness of thought and action characteristic of the costermonger's wife who exclaimed: "She said I wasn't a loidy, she did, and the next minute I 'ad 'er 'ead in the gutter." The Shillalah. The Irishman's bludgeon is called the shillalah (or shillelagh), because it was generally cut from a wood of that name near Arklow, famous for its oaks and blackthorns. Her Last Hope. After a man's wife finds that it is useless to try to convince him that smoking is an expensive habit she begins to be afraid that it hurts the baby's throat. Seeing What One Wishes. In all things throughout the world, the men who look for the crooked will see the crooked, and the men who look for the straight will see the straight. —Ruskin. Drink of the Gods. Nectar was supposed to be the beverage of the gods in mythology. Its color was supposed to be cream, because when Hebe spilled some of it the milky way was formed. Monorail Wheelbarrow. A monorail wheelbarrow has been invented which will travel on railway rails, and is intended to be used in yards where there are many tracks. Character from Handwriting. William Shenstone, poet, England, 1714, said: "Show me a man's handwriting and I will tell you his character." Elopement in High Life. "Will you fly with me?" "Certainly, George," said the practical girl, "if you have perfected a really dirigible airship."—Louisville Courier-Journal. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORAD The Rash Plumber. "To save foolish workmen from incurring unnecessary risks," says the Builders' Journal, "is well-nigh impossible." Almost every year some rash, thoughtless young plumber rushes out and does a job of work.—London Globe. Its Faulty Construction. "I sat away up in front," Mrs. Lapsling was saying, "and yet I couldn't hear half the actors said. I tell you there's something wrong with the agnostic properties of that theater." Need a Governor. Nearly every ambitious man needs a governor, just as if he were a steam engine. In endeavoring to become a power in the world he is likely to burst his safety valve.—N. Y. Press. Aggravating. He may be a good man, but we don't like him—the man who is always saying: "As the poet says," and quoting what the poet says.—Atchison Globe. Not for Her. A woman never arrives at the point in life when she is glad to be told that she "doesn't look a day more than 40." Symbolic of Plenty. Orange-blossom was adopted for bridal-wreaths because the orange-branch bears fruit and flowers at once, and is thus a sign of plenty. Gratitude. "Gratitude," said Uncle Eben, "seems to be a feelin' that everybody thinks somebody else ought to be 'speriencin'."—Washington Star. Sees Things Differently. When a woman gets past 40 she can't understand why any old widower wants to marry a young girl. A Sure Sign. When a man begins sympathizing with himself it is a sign that he is about to quit work.—Dallas News. A Word from Josh Wise. "If canary birds couldn't sing they'd have to hustle their own hemp seed." 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.

While this convention knows that mere ancestry does not determine character, yet the abolition ancestor of Wm. H. Taft imbued him with a love for fairness and his life has been an amplification of humane regard for every living soul. Therefore, his utterances in his speech of acceptance declaring for the known advancement of our race, his appeal for the calm support of every fair-minded Southerner to contribute to the betterment of our people in the South, his pledge to stand by the Constitutional Amendments that guaranty us protection, his solemn promise to stand for the square deal in accordance with the American spirit of fair play—all these are full of meaning backed by a personality and ancestory that gave our race freedom and mean the best chance for us and our children. On the other side the Democrats plead for our votes and pass resolutions condemning the Constitutional Amendments that we hold sacred. The colored voters have not been deceived, the Democrats who think they have won the hated negro vote are received. We find the ten thousand colored voters of Colorado standing loyally by the Republican party and determined to enjoy the continuance of the sunlight of Republicanism, and that they will, in the refreshing showers of justice and equal rights before the law, grow in knowledge of their duty and service to their benefactors—the Grand Old Republican Party. Democrats in convention declare it was a crime that we were given the right of suffrage. Republicans gave us all the laws that protect us and declare our rights over the bitter opposition of the Democrats; and we, the representatives of the colored voters of Colorado in conference assembled, solemnly pledge to Wm. H. Taft, on account of his fidelity to the Republican party and its principles, our hearty and united support; and, in the name of our patron saint, Abraham Lincoln, by the memories of dark and dismal days long past, in the bright hope of better things, material development and more widespread education, we call upon colored voters wherever they are, to vote for and elect to the presidency of these United States Wm. H. Taft. By a close vote it was decided to enlarge upon the powers of the meeting as it was originally called, and to do some things properly belonging to a convention. This decision arose upon the adoption of the following address to the people: We, the colored citizens of the State of Colorado, in convention assembled, on this, the 22nd day of August, A. D. 1908, for the purpose of organizing a Negro Republican State League, take this opportunity to reaffirm our belief in the principles of the Republican party and pledge our loyalty to that great and historic party which has been for more than 50 years the consistent friend of the American negro. We are glad to renew allegiance to the party whose platform demands equal justice for all men without regard to race or color, and declares for the enforcement in letter and spirit THE STATESMAN, DENVER, CO_ORADO. of the "13, 14 and 15" amendments to the Constitution, which were designed for the protection and advancement of the negro and condemns the passage of all laws that have for their real aim his disfranchisement for reasons of color alone. And now at this great crisis in the history of the negro race in America, when we are being persuaded by mad, unscrupulous, dangerous and disappointed false leaders to desert our party, we rejoice in and approve of the wise nomination by the Republicans of the nation of the Hon. Wm. H. Taft for the presidency and Hon. Jas. S. Sherman for the vice-presidency. From the time the Republican party was launched upon its great and useful career at Jackson, Mich., July 6th, 1854, a brighter day began to dawn for all mankind, and especially for the negro. Through its great instrumentalities and broad principles, guided by such illustrious and heroic men as Lincoln, Gant, Garfield and McKinley, we, as a race, have been emancipated and lifted up and as citizens we now enjoy the blessings of their wise, just and patriotic leadership. To the Republican party the nation is forever indebted for such men as those who brought peace, progress and prosperity to us at home and honor and prestige abroad. In no less degree do we find the same qualities and characteristics of such men as Lincoln, Grant and Garfield than in our present standard-bearer, the Hon. Wm. H. Taft, who inherited from his abolition father the same strong principles which give him such marked distinction. His entire genealogy, birth and training, both at home and at school was such that we do not hesitate to place our cause in his care. Possessed of a strong character and a sound judicial mind, ripened by years of experience in the executive departments of the government, we feel that we make no mistake when we give him our united and loyal support to a man, regardless of the seemingly unjust treatment of some members of our race by the present incumbent of the White House, for which he (Taft) cannot in the least be held responsible. Thus having reached that stage of advanced citizenship, wherein we have become largely identified and experienced in the business and commercial life of the nation we earnestly indorse our party platform upon the tariff, the railroads, the trusts and the currency as being to our best interests and to those of the nation. Coming to our own beloved state, we view with pride her great influence among the sister states of the Union through the business-like administration of Governor Henry A. Buchtel, and the Republican state officials. In our state chairman, Hon. Jno. F. Vivian, we have a man who has led the party to victory, and we pledge ourselves again to help place the banner of Republicanism upon the ramparts. Because of his manly and impartial treatment of us and generous recognition, surpassing all predecessors, we assure him our united support. Therefore, in view of the record of the Republican party "which had its birth in the uprising of the national conscience against the evil of slavery" and in the name of the great men who have gone before, we address ourselves particularly to our fellow citizens and brothers and advise that it is both unwise and ungrateful to attempt to rebuke the only party which has given us the many privileges we now enjoy, by refusing at this time to vote for its candidates—Mr. Wm. H. Taft, for the presidency, and Mr. Jas. S. Sherman, for the vice-presidency—because of the discharge of a battalion of negro soldiers by President Roosevelt, for which Mr. Taft is not to be blamed, and bestow our favors upon and vote for the Democratic party and those men who have ever striven to nullify the wok of the Re- FOR A GOOD TIME AND A BIG CROWD THE CALENDAR GIVES THE FOLLOWING SCORE: Admission 25c.

He further said that if the meeting had served no other purpose than to show that seventy-five Negroes could agree, it had accomplished much for our people in this state. It was decided to hold at ratification of the state ticket and grand rally for the national ticket at some central point. Lawyer Townsend was responsible for the introduction of the idea and pleaded eloquently for the location of the rally at Pueblo in the hope that the spirit spread abroad by the Republican hosts might help win back his county from Democracy. His idea was adopted and September 22, emancipation day, was the date chosen. A committee was appointed with him as the chairman, the other members being the other delegates from Pueblo: C. A. Franklin, Thos. Campbell and J. W. Jackson of Denver; L. L. Duncan, H. C. Coleman, A. C. Battles of Colorado Springs; A. W. Lewis, Oscar White of Boulder; A. W. Walton, T. M.

We appeal to the pride and manhood of our race to stand firm for principle and let us acquit ourselves like men and honorable citizens. There was introduced and passed by unanimous vote amid much cheering a resolution of confidence in J. W. Jackson, who has had charge on the campaign for the past four years. It was upon this question which has been given some airing in the press of the state, that the conference both in the speeches of the mover of the resolution and of speakers who followed him, to say nothing of the wording of it, expressed its satisfaction in the past and its confidence in the future acts of Mr. Jackson. The slings and arrows of malicious and envious critics were ignored, and their pettiness and jealousy was held up to scorn. It was shown conclusively that the past two years has been an improvement over the former two and that even they were a tremendous advance over the conditions when the critics had their sway. in expressing his conference, said that led by misrepresentatat the efforts which by Mr. Jackson and politics had been enagainst the best ine and now that the were laid bare be could not see how One delegate opinions of the one had been mis tion to believe tha have been made his associates in tirely selfish and terests of the ra ctual conditions fore his gaze he PAGE. 6.

I don't see the economy of such construction." "You don't eh?" chuckled the landlord. "Well, if you'll figger awhile you'll see that there ain't no trunks made that c'n be passed out through them winders." Problem in Anatomy. "I wonder if these menu writers know how much a leg of lamb costs," said a lady the other day, as she read for the fifth time a menu in a newspaper having that part of the young sheep as the meat for dinner. "It is all very well to get a leg of lamb if you have a large family," she said, "and can pay the price, but for a small family a shoulder of lamb is much better." Fooling with Idioms. A foreigner, meeting an American friend, said to him, "How are you?" The latter replied, "Out of sight." The man considered this very clever, and decided to use the expression on the next occasion. Shortly after he was met by a friend, who asked, "How are you?" With visible pride he answered, "You don't see me." English Dress for Indians. It seems not improbable that the dress adopted by educated India, which is more or less of the western type, will also be adopted by the people at large in the future. The fondness of the orientals for bright colors may give rise to gorgeous neckties and gold-laced collars.—Hindustan Review, Allahabad. Women's Settlements. Many women are living in settlements in different parts of London, working on quietly and steadily day by day, seeking no glory or notoriety for their work, finding their happiness in humble service, ready to help where their help is needed.—Nineteenth Century. Do Something Worth While. You will find plenty of people eager to help you enjoy life; but you will only find happiness in being able to do something worth while, alone and unaided. If, in the doing of it, you can help others, so much the better. James Barnes, "The Clutch of Circumstance." Let Us Overcome Afflictions. Let us set all our past and present afflictions at once before our eyes. Let us resolve to overcome them, instead of flying from them, or wearing out the sense of them by long and ignominious patience.—Lord Bolingbroke. Superstition of Fishermen. In Japan among the primitive race of the Ainos even the women left at home are not allowed to talk lest the fish may hear and disapprove, while the first fish is always brought in through a window instead of a door so the other fish may not see.

All Is Vanity. Vanity is so anchored in the heart of man that a soldier, a camp-follower, a cook, a porter, makes his boasts and is for having his admirers; even philosophers wish for them. Those who write against it, yet desire the glory of having written well; those who read, desire the glory of having read; I who write this way have this desire, and perhaps those who will read it.—Pascal. When Talleyrand Scored. When Mme. de Stael published her celebrated novel, "Delphine," she was supposed to have painted herself in the person of the heroine, and M. Talleyrand in that of an elderly lady, who is one of the principal characters. "They tell me," said he, the first time he met her, "that we are both of us in your novel, in the disguise of women." Prosperity and Adversity. If we do not suffer ourselves to be transported by prosperity, neither shall we be reduced by adversity. Our souls will be proof against the dangers of both these states; and, having explored our strength, we shall be sure of it; for, in the midst of felicity, we shall have tried how we can bear misfortune.—Lord Bolingbroke. Agreed with the Lecturer. During a lecture at one of the leading colleges on the subject of "Ventilation and Architecture," the temperature of the room rose to a very high pitch. "And now we will turn to Greece," said the lecturer. "So we will," said one of the audience, wiping his brow, "unless you open some of the windows." Mirror Starts a Fire. A fire which broke out in High street, Walton, was found to have originated in strange fashion. A circular shaving mirror standing next the window in a bedroom had focused the rays of the sun on the bed and the intense heat speedily set the clothes ablaze.—London Standard. Out of His Depth. Two men were discussing the trouble in India, and each had a deal to say about his notion of Hindu character. "They're such a bellicose set of people," said one. "Indeed!" exclaimed the other, in surprise. "I was always under the impression that they were very spare men." Where Public Is Protected.

TRADE MARK (Registered) ```markdown ``` Science will never make wars impossible, because science can never limit the ingenuity and knowledge of men to a single channel. The defensive will ever keep pace with the offensive, and destructiveness will sooner or later carry its own antidote. When men's hearts are cleansed and purified, when peace becomes the ideal of heroism and courage, then and then only will wars cease upon the earth, declares the Philadelphia Ledger. And the same humane influences can be depended upon, in all probability, to prove the falsity of the dismal predictions of the fatal trend of commercial progress. Tolstol's reason for trying to stop the proposed celebration of his eightieth birthday is naively beautiful: it might give pain to members of the orthodox church, the Russian-Greek church, that excommunicated him. The commandment to love our enemies should be ingrained in our thoughts, yet a simple application of it, a magnanimous toleration for the feelings of those who disagree with us, is so rare as to seem eccentric. If the political history of the United States is short, the geological history of America is long enough. Four expeditions are to go out from the American Museum of Natural History in New York this summer to explore the remains of various geologic ages in Nebraska, Montana and Texas, the most recent of which ended about a million years ago, and the most ancient probably not less than 11,000,000 years earlier. The Panama canal zone, now under the jurisdiction of the United States, may not improperly be classified as the true Cosmopolis.

That terrible tragedy may be the saving of many more lives than it cost—which is no consolation for those who mourn the children lost in a death trap. The seven Princeton seniors who say that they have wholly supported themselves throughout their college course, and the 58 who say that they have partially supported themselves, probably realize the value of a college education. Through an accidental discovery telegraphy of the future may be poleless, as well as wireless. Then it will require only smokeless furnaces and noiseless trolley cars to make modern urban life an iridescent dream.

Undertakers are giving away cigars as an inducement to purchase coffins. A surer way to promote trade, says the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, would be to substitute cigarettes. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Great crowds follow Countess Szecheny about when she appears in Budapest, "rubbering," as one might say in America, at the richest woman in the world. The count affects to be sore, but, suggests the Chicago Daily News, maybe he is pleased to know that his countrymen appreciate his taste in beauty and dollars. We are apt to hear much about the vulgarity of Americans when they crowd round the entrance of a church in New York to get a glimpse at the performers when native money and a foreign title are being united in the holy bonds of matrimony. Budapest appears to be composed of about the same kind of people. It is a pretty safe bet that human nature is much the same the world over. The ordinary human being wants to see whatever is being talked about. If Countess Gladys will walk down the street to market every day and carry home a basket of eggs on her arm very soon no one will notice her except the man who wants to get her trade. A woman borrowed eggs of a neighbor when eggs were at 24 cents a dozen. She returned the eggs, the same number, when the price had fallen to 12 cents. The question is, has she paid her neighborly debt? This problem is said to be vexing a Kansas town, and the settlement of it involves a great principle. Shall the borrower of a cup of molasses, a tablespoonful of butter, a hod of coal return the loan in kind and quantity, or figure the equivalent in the market price? The satisfactory answer is that repayment should be made before the market has time to shift. But the controversy will not arise if there is no borrowing. The first woman to practice law in this country was Margaret Brent. Lord Baltimore, then governor of Maryland, asked the legislature that she be appointed executor of her relatives' estate. One of the learned members said that it were better that the estate be lost than a woman appear to make an argument before them. Margaret Brent, however won her case. A few years after the civil war, when Mrs. Carrie B. Kilgore applied for admission to the law department of the University of Pennsylvania, she was told by the then dean that "when niggers and women are admitted to the law school he would resign." Apropos of that conservation conference at Washington, it may be mentioned that the mill value of the timber cut in the United States last year was $610,000,000. That shows the extent of the demand for wood, which is becoming more and more of a necessity to our thriving industries. But, as one observer remarks, "before bragging about the big output of lumber the size of the hole left should be estimated." The size of the hole being made in our forests is a matter of importance in national economics, and the conference at the national capital will help to awaken the people to that fact.

PAGE. 8& The need of fire insurance finds general recognition among business men. Too many of our readers are neglecting this important class of pro- tection. Investigate at once. A few dollars a year are well spent in insur- ing the savings of years. With an unqualified endorsement given J. W. Jackson for the part he has played in politics in this state, the conference of last Saturday re- moves from us any further necessity of making answer to the false asper- sions which have found space in a colored paper of this city and one in Colorado Springs, coming from the pen of J. H. Stuart. We agree with Senator Wolcott that “it is a waste of lather to shave an ass.” We have recognized from the beginning the hopelessness of making adequate answer to articles in which fact and fliction go arm in arm. We have recited facts and pro- duced the evidence of them in vain. We might go on to relate how Mr. Stuart, while in the legislature, ac- quiesced in the emasculation of his civil rights bill, until now it stands upon the statutes an insult to the race. Think of pricing our rights as citizens at $10.00, The manner in which he handled black law relating to intermarriage is even more dis- graceful. What has he to say of his own hypocrisy in the ‘ campaign, when he was so shameless in his pur- suit of the ears and pocketbooks of party leaders that he attacked the Republican ticket in a Republican meeting held in East Turner hall, where he was a speaker, and was given a grilling for his treachery by a speaker from Pueblo? The conference of last Saturday in {ts endorsement of the men and measures Mr. Stuart condemns, and the cowardice of his associates in re- fusing to come to the meeting and State their case after invitation, brand him for what he is. Leadership is interesting to the whole people only in the degree it affects our interests. Results are what we want and iu answer to Dem- ocracy’s beguilements, we shali_ in good time tell what the Republican party means to the race in this state. If Mr. Stuart continues to insist that the Republican party is “lily-white,’ we will make specific answer to his vague charges before election day and he can take his portion along with the Bryanites. int STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO: GRAND JUNCTION NEWS.

Fountain, who has been to Glenwood Springs recuperating, re- turned Wednesday much refreshed. Speaking of Glenwood he says: “It is a pretty city of 2,000 inhab- itants, forty of whom are colored; most of these own their own homes and are firstelass citizens. Our for- mer Denverite, W. J. Foster, is act- ive among them. They are Republi- cans.. On the 17th I helped them form a Taft and Sherman club. 1 also met the white Garfield Republi- can club.

Yes; it's a pretty well established fact that men are fickle creatures. The Carnegie hero commission has had 85 cases for medals before it since its last meeting. Thirty applications were granted and 55 rejected. This is discouraging. In a country of so many millions this {s a mighty small hero percentage. ‘ The farmers are not nearly so vio lent against the automobile as they used to be. Besides, as they are rum over from time to time, there are not nearly so many of them. The cost of crime in this country in one year is estimated as $690,000,000, Now will you be good?

DOUGLAS, SHORTER'’S CHOIR SAYS GOOD BYE TO MISS COLE. It is seldom that one comes into such a large church, takes up the reins otf usefulness and becomes so _ active that her associates are willing to take her as their leader. That was the case with Miss Bertha Coles, one of Kansas City’s prominent teachers, who has been active as directress of Shorter’s choir. For this timely and valuable service the members of the choir gave a receplion Wednesday night as a token of their esteem and appreciation of her services. Miss Cole being of a genial disposition has made many friends while visiting here, who will doubtless come this way during vacation periods. “Going to Jerusalem,” “John Brown's Body,” pit, checkers and flinch were enthusiastically indulged in by the Merrymakers until the delicacies ot rare type were given the guests.
