DEMOCRACY OFFERS NO HOPE FRANKLIN'S PAPER TWENTIETH YEAR DEMOCRACY OFFERS Bishop Abram Grant of the A. M. E. orch, Kansas City, Kan., whose scopal district includes the states Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Colo. Wyoming, Oregon, Nevada h, California, Washington and ho, and the territories of Arizona New Mexico, was recently asked an opinion touching upon the dical situation, especially with reence to the Negro vote, by John fonk of the literary bureau of the onal Republican central commit- The bishop's reply follows: Replying to your favor of September 3, I have to say that I don't believe the colored vote of the country will, to any great extent, desert the Republican party and join the Democrats. There are some few who will find themselves allied with the Prohibitionists or the Independent party. In my opinion, the Democratic party lost one of the greatest opportunities that ever came within its reach while the convention was in session at Denver, Colo., that is, if they had any desire to control the colored vote. 'Had it placed a plank in the plat form pledging itself to protect the colored people in their political and civil rights and at the same time prom'sing that disfranchisement should cease, they would have divided the colored vote for all time to come, which, in the opinion of many, would be better for all concerned and especially so with our people, as the weaker and less fortunate have friends in all the political parties. Holds Out No Hope. "Realizing in some of the states that it would be better if they could consistently place themselves with the party that dominates their commonwealth, many Negroes have wished to see the day when the Democratic party in its national declarations would hold out some inducement to the colored vote. But that party adjourned its convention without a word to this class of citizens. A short time after its adjournment, the Democratic convention in the state of West Virginia announced to the country that it favored disfranchisement of the Negro and separation of the races while traveling in railroad cars. "I think I am in a position to know that Governor Hock of Kansas is quite correct when he states that Colonel W. A. aris received a very large colored vote for governor of DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 26 1908 this state two years ago. For this, they receive no encouragement and it does not seem to be appreciated, as the national committeeman of the Democratic organization in Kansas has given out a signed statement that Colonel W. A. Harris received a very ed governor had it not been for the ignorant Negro vote. It is my opinion that if the white vote had been as evenly divided as was the colored, Colonel Harris would be governor or Kansas to-day, and I am sure there are hundreds who concur in this opinion. Will Not Support Bryan. "With these things in view, we can hardly believe that any number of our people will support the national Democratic ticket. And should we do so, it will be one of the strongest arguments that can be produced against us—that we do not rise to the dignity of American citizenship; that we do not attach the proper importance to the ballot, which is the only weapon of warfare that the poor man has to protect his political and civil rights; that we do not appreciate the untiring efforts and sacrifices of some of the best men the world has ever produced; that we are not worthy of the many advantages secured to our people in the last forty-two years by the Republican party. In fact, it is unreasonable to leave the true and the tried and to force ourselves upon those who are giving out statements from time to time that they favor our disfranchisement and who have not expressed a desire to have our support and co-operation. "I am personally acquainted with Judge Taft. I have the honor to be associated with him on the trustee board of the Anna T. Jeanes fund, which is $1,000,000 given by this good woman for the education of colored children in the rural district of ex-slave states. While secretary of war, he found sufficient time to meet with us and give counsel and advice as to the distribution of this fund. He seems to be perfectly at home with any duty assigned him, great or small. I look upon Judge Taft as one of the greatest men in America, and heartily concur in the opinion accredited to United States Senator J. B. Foraker, in the New York Independent, that he will be the next president of the United States."—K. C. Journal. ODD FELLOWSHIP TYPICAL OF BEST State Historian & Natural History Society TURDAY SEPTEMBER 26 1908 ODD FELLO TYPICAL Atlantic City, J., Sept. 17, 1908. Hon. W. T. Vernon, Register of the Treasury, by invitation addressed the Colored Odd Fellows of America at their biennial session at Atlantic City. This organization is composed of nearly 400,00 members all over America and her possessions. On the platform were seated the Grand Master, Grand Officers and distinguished citizens. Mr. Vernon said in part: "Mr. Grand Master and members on the B. M. C. o the Colorado Odd Fellows of America: "Permit me first to thank you for the honor done me by this invitation to address your great organization. I say 'honor done me,' because of the things for which you stand and the great world you are accomplishing for our people wherever your organization exists. "The influence of your order is bounded only by the confines of the republic and its possessions. It is affiliated with sister organizations throughout the civilized world with its 400,000 members. Made up of the brightest and best men of the race men who are representative citizens of the highest order of intelligence working under the capable and successful guidance of your most worthy Grand Master, Hon. W. L. Houston, it could not do otherwise than meet with the success which is shown in the reports and evidenced by your splendid presence here this evening. "I refer again to the greatness of your order, in that it stands for all that is elevating, beneficial and inspiring, and the magnificent words, 'Friendship, love and truth,' the basic fabric of your great order, would in themselves indicate the work you have done, are doing and are destined to do. "This splendid quality of friendship alone can grow out of the ability to discern the worthy and the true, to discover real merit and appreciate the same for me it's sake. The closer relationship, love a cumulative result of this friendship, so aptly styled by Drummond 'The greatest thing in the world,' and truth, which all right-thinking men admire, which stand-out forever against the false and unreal, and through the ages grows more eternal, since born of God are noble words, are undying principles, fitted to give perennial youth and vigor to any order carrying out the same. --- FIVE CENTS A COPY WSHIP L OF BEST "So, then—your organization, bringing together the best elements of the race, the most enlightened elements in society for friendly converse and discussion as to the best means to be used for the further development of your great order, should have and will have a still higher place in the estimation of all good-thinking people and in the appreciation of your fellow men. "This order does more than benefit its members. It teaches the worth, the capabilities and the possibilities of the Negro in the work of organization, without which no race nor cause can long survive. "Organization, since the incipiency of man's real progress, has been the motor force for his advancement, and has further and to a higher degree eventuated from this advancement as this organization has been purified, strengthened and perfected. So that every effort for uplift and reform, whether social, political or religious, has found its chief safeguard and hope for perpetuation in the character of its organization and the men comprising the same. "In these organizations which have lived, men have sought for the elimination of weaknesses, crudeness and non-essentials, and striving for the converse have placed leadership in the hands of those most worthy and enlightened. As a result, these organizations have made great leaders and in turn have seen their greatest development under the direction of such leaders. "A race, environed as we were, which, until within a half century ago, had no national leaders nor organization ramifying our entire national life, was forced to prove itself in a world of organization. "Demonstration alone could satisfy that query—Is the Negro capable of organization? It is no flattery to say, that your order as much as any organization of the race has answered this question affirmatively and conclusively. "Civilization is advancing by the methods you have employed. This civilization, to-day the accumulated greatness of a century grown world, gives to us the highest form of individual culture, its flower and fruit. "The men sitting before me show the vast step from the serf to the Continued on page two A Chance to Buy a Pagoda. In the year 770 A. D. the Emperor Koken caused a million pagodas to be made. They were little objects of wood, only four and a half inches high. Into each was inserted a tiny scroll with a verse of the Sutras inscribed thereon, and the whole number were then handed over to the temple Horyuji at Nara. In the course of centuries these relics gradually became dispersed or were destroyed by fire, until only 3,000 remained, and the ancient temple, being now in financial straits, offers one of these pagodas with its inclusion to any person sufficiently charitable to subscribe 35 yen.—Japan Weekly Mail. Sees Change in Temperature. Europe is growing colder, says M. Camille Flammarion, the French astronomer. He declares that from actual figures recently obtained he has become certain that the temperature of Europe has been falling. France has been suffering for a long time from an excess of cold weather, the temperature at Paris having been one degree below the normal. Other readings show even less favorable results. The fall is more noticeable in the spring that at other periods of the year. Similar conditions are recorded in England, Belgium, Spain, Italy, Austria and Germany. Diving Suit with Laced-Up Legs. "Blowing up" is one of the accidents to which deep water divers are the most liable. When a diver is crawling on the bottom with his head down, air may accumulate in the back of the suit, and, gaining access to the legs, cause him to turn turtle and shoot helplessly upward, with the risk of coming into contact with a ship's or boat's bottom. To make such accidents impossible, the diving committee of the English admiralty has recommended that all new diving suits be provided with an arrangement for lacing up the legs and thighs. A Curious Phenomenon. A German officer describes in the Rote Kreuz a curious phenomenon he witnessed on a ride in southwest Africa. A number of vultures, eagles and other large birds suddenly gathered on the trees at one place. A few dark clouds were visible, and ere long there was a violent tropical storm. The water penetrated into holes in the ground from which presently emerged large numbers of snakes, scorpions and mice, and these the birds pounced upon and devoured. An Unwelcome Kiss. Beatrice, aged five, spent the day playing with Tommy, her little four-year-old neighbor. When she was ready to go home she hugged and kissed Tommy, against his tearful protestations. Reporting the matter to her mother, she concluded with: "But, mother, Tommy should have been brave about it, anyway, shouldn't he?"—Lippincott's. Her Sympathy. Little Margaret was enduring a visit from her boisterous cousins from the west. One evening after the children said their prayers, their talk turned on heaven. Henry, Dick and Bob wished to know if they would go there when they died. When an affirmative answer was given, little Margaret exclaimed, with heartfelt sympathy: "Poor Dod."—Life. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. Time's Changes Recognized. According to ancient British law the sovereign shall not leave the kingdom without the consent of both houses of parliament. In ancient times the absence of the king was met by the appointment of an officer called the "justiciar." This officer was afterward superseded by the appointment of lords justices under the great seal, but none has been commisisoned since 1821. In 1845, when Queen Victoria was about to visit Germany, Lord Campbell urged that lords justices should be appointed according to constitutional practice, but the lord chancellor (Lord Lyndhurst) convinced the house that this was no longer necessary, owing to the modern facilities of communication. This has served as a precedent ever since. Whale Caught in Salmon Trap. Dynamite is being used to kill a finback whale which entered the salmon trap of W. A. Lowman at Smallpox bay, San Juan island. The mammal entered the trap with a young calf, and in attempting to drive it out the calf was killed with a rifle shot. The body sank and the cow refused to desert its offspring. The whale viciously attacks every boat that approaches. An attempt to kill the whale by rifle fire was tried yesterday, but without effect. Fears are entertained that the beast may destroy the trap in her rage. She is 40 feet in length. More than $2,000 worth of fish a day has been lost to the packers through the capture of the whale.—Bellingham Correspondence Portland Oregonian. A Unanimous Vote. A German-American who had recently arrived at the estate of riches attended his first banquet. The wine was particularly vile, and so several gentlemen who were seated near the German were quite satisfied to have him empty the bottles that had been set apart for their common use. Neither the quality nor the quantity of the wine in the least disturbed the Teuton, and, after draining the last glass, he looked around jovially and said: "Shentlemen, I haf now drunken all your wine, and safed you the trouble of trinking vat you did not like. I tink you ought to vote me a public tank." They did.—Lippincott's. Japanese Army Promotions. In the matter of efficiency reports and promotions it is noted that in the Japanese army there is a book for each officer, which he is privileged to see and in which are recorded remarks as to his progress and efficiency in each rank, so that it is known whether he is fit for promotion or not as he rises in the service; and, consequently, a selection committee does not exist in Japan. In this way any officer would be aware of his chances of rising to high rank, as only those whose records were good would succeed, the duffer going out automatically. Concrete Railway Ties a Failure. After years of thorough testing and experimenting the officials of the Burlington railroad have come to the conclusion that the use of concrete for ties is not satisfactory, and that the most satisfactory solution of the tie problem is to treat wood so that it will withstand the action of the elements. Accordingly they have decided to construct a large plant for treating ties, bridge timbers, etc., with creosote. This plant will be the largest and most complete of its kind in the world. It will cost about $270,000. Cut on the Head. At the Saturday matinee of "The Three Twins," an imposing young woman wearing a pongee creation of the near-sheath type swept down the aisle, drawing all eyes after her, says the New York Times. It was not her gown, however, that was the attraction, even in this era of hectic interest in everything directoire, but as it was during an intermission and she had doffed her hat her coiffure eclipsed every other feature of her toilet. Her hair was all swept into an enormous pompadour which, however, draped the back of her head instead of crowning her brow. A mild little country visitor, whose own locks were trimly combed together and screwed into a tight little knob on top of her head, stared long at the receding young woman's coiffure, and then remarked to her neighbor, who, by the way, was a total stranger to her: "My goodness gracious! If she were born with a thing like that on her head she'd have it operated on!" Home of Vice-President Johnson. On the corner of Twelfth street and Pennsylvania avenue, opposite the post office department, in Washington, there stands to-day a modern hotel, and it occupies the site of what was once the pension office, when Gen. William W. Dudley was commissioner. Formerly, however, there stood on this site the Kirkwood house, one of the best hotels ever known in Washington. Its corridors were thronged by the most eminent statesmen, and by ladies of social glory in their day and generation. That old hostelry would have been preserved by any one of the countries of the old world; because it was the residence of Vice-President Andrew Johnson; and in a room facing the southwest corner Mr. Johnson took the oath of president of the United States within 15 minutes after President Lincoln had breathed his last. New Explosive Agency. A new discovery in the ignition of explosives is creating great interest in Germany, where its use is increasing. It has been found that an alloy of iron and cerium, or any other of the rare earths (such as are used in the manufacture of gas mantles) will create luminous sparks on being struck by some metal tool, such as a knife-edge or a file, the sparks being sufficient to ignite not only gas, but even a wick saturated with alcohol, naphtha, etc. It is claimed that these iron alloys are efficient in igniting all sorts of explosives, the utility varying according to the percentage of iron. Her Telephone Hour. A girl whose engagements are many and who is therefore out a good deal has established a telephone hour. In this way her friends are always sure of catching her on the wire, and she comes in for many unexpected good times that otherwise might be missed. Until she did this it was almost impossible to get her. Now if she is not at home at the telephone time she calls up the house and tells her maid where she may be reached. The arrangement works to a charm, she says, and nothing would induce her to go back to the haphazard fashion of any and no time. LADIES' TAILORING. Fashionable dressmaking, designing. Mrg. I. M. McGuire, 2516. Curtis street. PAGE. 10. Fun Is a Necessity. Most people have the impression that fun and humor are life incidentals, not necessities; that they are luxuries and have no great bearing upon one's career. Many think of fun as frivolous, indicating a lack of serious purpose in life. There are parents who rebuke their children because they want to have fun and go in for a good time, says Success Magazine. These parents have yet to learn the great part which fun and humor play in the physical economy, and their influence on the life. Easy Remedy. There is much trouble in Paris about the unreliability of the telephone service. The Gaulois prints an imaginary conversation between the governor of a prison and the head warden. "It seems," says the former, "that the prisoners are able to talk to one another. This must be stopped. What can you suggest?" "Suppose we install the telephone in their cells," replies the warden. Toxin of Baldness. A crystalline body that he calls trichotoxin is regarded by Dr. Delos L. Parker as an active agent in producing baldness. It is carried in the lungs, and it can be detected in the exhaled air. The fact that females—who breathe more fully—are less affected with baldness than males is cited as evidence supporting the theory. It is concluded that persons who are losing their hair should practice breathing exercises, and the investigation seems to have shown further that turpentine is superior to the usual remedies as a local application. Steepest Railway in the World. What claims to be the steepest railway line in the world is that recently opened near Bozen, in the Tyrol. The Mendel railway, with a gradient of 64 in 100, and the Vesuvian with 63, have hitherto held the record. But the new line in its steepest parts rises 70 in 100, and in other parts 66. It leads up the mountain side to Virgl Terrace, on the River Eisack. The system employed is that of the electrical wire rope, and the ascent is made at the rate of five feet a second, or five minutes for the whole distance. Fought with Savage Bat. Charles Gideon of Philadelphia was aroused the other day by some creature biting his legs. He yelled for help and William Saddler, a fellowboarder, went to his assistance. The men fought the creature, which flew about the room, giving fight until they succeeded in killing it. An investigation proved it to be a bat, measuring 18 inches between its outstretched wings. Gideon was severely nipped about the limbs and face. New Railroad Expensive. G. P. O'Neal, right-of-way agent of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad, is authority for the statement that the cost of construction of the road between Taft and St. Joe, 60 miles, will be $11,400,000. There will be 35 tunnels on this piece of road. Poor Theatrical Season. It is estimated that London theater managers have lost during the season just ended no less than $400,000 in the production of plays that have been unsuccessful, and much of this amount on dramatic enterprises imported from the United States. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Yoke Women and Dogs. M. Jachelson has come across in northern Siberia a tribe, the Yukoghirs, differing in every respect from other Eskimo tribes both in aspect, language and customs. There is a fine sphere here, says the London Globe, for suffragettes if they have any superfluous energy-after worrying our unhappy government-for foreign missionary work, as we learn that the women are yoked to the sledges with the dogs, and draw their lords and masters. The old people are killed off when they become useless. Japanese Army Promotions. In the matter of efficiency reports and promotions it is noted that in the Japanese army there is a book for each officer, which he is privileged to see and in which are recorded remarks as to his progress and efficiency in each rank, so that it is known whether he is fit for promotion or not as he rises in the service; and, consequently, a selection committee does not exist in Japan.

Correct Measurements. The correct measurements of a short woman are: Height, 5 feet 4 inches; neck, $12\frac{1}{2}$ inches; bust, 36 inches; waist, 21 inches; hips, 37 inches. For a tall woman the measurements are: Height, 5 feet $8\frac{1}{2}$ inches; weight, 137 pounds; bust, 36 inches; waist, 25 inches; hips, 42 inches; top of arm, 14 inches, tapering to 8 inches. Color Tone of Washington. The color tone of the city of Washington is green—a bright, new green in June and gradually darkening as the leaves of the trees mature. There are nearly half a million ornamental trees and numerous extensive parks in the Capital city, which accounts for its color tone. From above the eye looks down on a vast sea of green, along the southern extremity of which winds a silvery band, the Potomac. To the east a white island dots the waving mass of green, and a little beyond an island of glistening gold shimmers in the sunlight. The first is the capitol, the second the library of congress. A brilliant white dot in the west, surrounded by specks of yellow and red, marks the White House and the cluster of gardens around it. Trouble a Bird's Nest Caused. A hatpin used by a pair of swallows as the foundation for their nest, built between two wires, put the entire police alarm system of the suburbs of Ballard out of business. The police alarm wires from Ballard to headquarters at the city hall were tested box by box until the trouble was located. It was discovered that difficulty lay between the box at Fremont and the one next south. The electricians could find nothing more serious than a swallow's nest. Investigation showed that the nest, which stretched from one wire to another, a distance of about eight inches, was built on a hatpin, which touched both wires and short-circuited the whole system.—Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Sensitiveness of Earth. The invention of the seismograph for the study of earthquakes has led to the discovery of the surprising sensitivity of the crust of the globe to forces that might have been thought too insignificant to cause distortion. Among these forces is the alteration in the pressure of the atmosphere during the passage of storms, causing a perceptible tilting of large areas of ground. Prof. Amori of Japan declares that a storm which passed over the sea east of Tokyo recently caused the bordering land to tilt downward, notwithstanding the fact that the sea rises with release of atmospheric pressure, and the accumulation of water more than sufficed to counterbalance the decrease in weight of the air.

J Bryan's campaign, advocated the dis- franchisement of the negro voters of Kansas and proposed also to bar Negro children from receiving an edu- cation. Mr. Atwood’s letter was printed in the Kansas City Post, the Democratic organ for Kansas, under date of Mav 6, 1908, a couple of months in ad- vance of Mr. Bryan’s nomination, and before it had been decided to play the hypocrite to capture the Negro vote for the Democratic party. Mr. Atwood does not propose in set terms to disfranchise the entire Negro vote of Kansas; he names only the vicious and ignorant, but the en- tire record of Democracy and its lead- ers shows conclusively that it is the disfranchisement of the whole race that he is after, and if Mr. Bryan ant his party should come into control of the government for any considerable period the-inevitable result would be the disfranchisement of the colored voters of the country. The letter of National Committee- man Atwood reads as follows: “To the Kansas City Post: By one of those strange ironies of fate which sometimes overtake the benefactors of individuais, peoples or races, the state of Kansas, which has done more perhaps, for the Negro than any other state in the Union, is now suffering a grievous political wrong from _ the hands of the freedman and his de- scendants. “William A. Harris would now pe governor of Kansas had it not been for the ignorant Negro vote, and ther have been times in the past when the Democratic party could have electe: its state ticket had it not been for the ignoraut black vote of Kansa City (Kan., Leavenworth, Atchison Lawrence and Topeka. “There was a time when the Negr vote was not a considerable factor ir Kansas politics, but that time ha passed. The influx of negroes from th South, the rapid multiplication » those native to Kansas soil, and the increasing insistence of the Negro upon social equality, make the Kan- sas Negro not only a political factor, but a social and political menace. “If the last general election be a criterion, the Negro now holds the balance of political powei in Kansas, as he does in Missouri. This in it- self is bad enough, but in Kansas we have suffered for long years the out- rage of mixed schools, fastene. upon us by the Republican politicians. “Mixed schools lead the Negroes to aspire to a mixed society ,and this close contact of the races is produc- tive of troubles from which Kansas would be free if the Negro had less political power and were not admit- ted to the same schools with the whites. “Kansas has long been weary of the Negro politician, and it is more than weary of the mixed school. Patience has ‘its limits, and 1 believe that the time has come when the people ot Kansas will join with the people of Missouri in restricting Negro suf- frage. “I do not advocate the disfranchise- ment of the Negro on the ground of his color.

We love to sing of Richard Allen, Founder of our church, His name is always dear to us, Because of his great work. In organizing our great church So we could serve the Lord, With freedom, peace, intelligence, Such as we now enjoy. CHORUS— Sing, sing, of Richard Allen, He is the founder of our church; Sing we more praises to the Lord. For through Him Richard Allen founded our great church. He called it A. M. E., And started in a blacksmith shop In Philadelphia where now w Great Bethel stands A monument to Methodism, Allen, and our race— In which the bones of Allen lie, Within a vaulted case. But to the Lord we owe the greatest thanks, The greatest praise, 'Twas He who raised up Allen As leader of our race; So we to-day have formed a league Of Allen workers, too, Whose aim it is to serve the Lord And daily to improve. He laid the platform strong and high, So we could raise up men o come along and take his place. And hold out to the end. So now we have the strongest men To fill the Bishop's bench.

The color tone of the city of Washington is green—a bright, new green in June and gradually darkening as the leaves of the trees mature. There are nearly half a million ornamental trees and numerous extensive parks in the Capital city, which accounts for its color tone. From above the eye looks down on a vast sea of green, along the southern extremity of which winds a silvery band, the Potomac. To the east a white island dots the waving mass of green, and a little beyond an island of glistening gold shimmers in the sunlight. The first is the capitol, the second the library of congress. A brilliant white dot in the west, surrounded by specks of yellow and red, marks the White House and the cluster of gardens around it. Trouble a Bird's Nest Caused. A hatpin used by a pair of swallows as the foundation for their nest, built between two wires, put the entire police alarm system of the suburbs of Ballard out of business. The police alarm wires from Ballard to headquarters at the city hall were tested box by box until the trouble was located. It was discovered that difficulty lay between the box at Fremont and the one next south. The electricians could find nothing more serious than a swallow's nest. Investigation showed that the nest, which stretched from one wire to another, a distance of about eight inches, was built on a hatpin, which touched both wires and short-circulated the whole system.—Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Sensitiveness of Earth. The invention of the seismograph for the study of earthquakes has led to the discovery of the surprising sensitiveness of the crust of the globe to forces that might have been thought too insignificant to cause distortion. Among these forces is the alteration in the pressure of the atmosphere during the passage of storms, causing a perceptible tilting of large areas of ground. Prof. Amori of Japan declares that a storm which passed over the sea east of Tokyo recently caused the bordering land to tilt downward, notwithstanding the fact that the sea rises with release of atmospheric pressure, and the accumulation of water more than sufficed to counterbalance the decrease in weight of the air. Yoke Women and Dogs. M. Jachelson has come across in northern Siberia a tribe, the Yukoghirs, differing in every respect from other Eskimo tribes both in aspect, language and customs. There is a fine sphere here, says the London Globe, for suffragettes if they have any superfluous energy-after worrying our unhappy government-for foreign missionary work, as we learn that the women are yoked to the sledges with the dogs, and draw their lords and masters.

WALSENBURG OUTDOES HERSELF SOCIALLY. |The Victim of a Complete Surprise. | Such was the fate of Rey. J. L. Harding on the evening of the 21st, at the cozy home of Mr. and Mrs, 1. |G. Burt. It got out that the 21st was the reyerend’s birthday, and a re- I septien was quietly planned and |invitations were sent out to fifty | guests to attend from 6 p. m. to 12. The minister had planned to attend a lecture at the white Baptist church. Promptly at 6 the guests | began to arrive. About 7 o'clock the roar of voices like distant thunder gave notice of the assembling of the white clouds of benevolence which poured in a continual shower of con- eee en and valuable presents upon the object of their mission, until a late hour.

These Negro people are men, and their manhood should call for all the rights enjoyed by any other people—for them and for this country there should be no discriminatory laws, but all laws should be equally applied. "It is not too much to ask that this be the rule of action of our common country, as it must of necessity be the rule of action of any order carrying out your principles of 'friendship, love and truth.' "It is not too much to suppose that the race leaders—members of this order—and you all are vitally interested in all these things which go to make up our racial development and that the purposes of this order and the life purposes of its members are to be a source of uplift to the tremendous struggle and remarkable progress being made by these people of whom we are all a part. After wishing the greatest success and prosperity to your order, we shall pass to a discussion of those questions which affect you and affect us all and without which the highest individual progress—the fullest possible success for your order—are impossible—the question of how best to secure for all the people of America fair play in the race of life. "Contemporaneous with your remarkable growth and achievement, has been the upward tendency of the American Negro You have prospered as he has prospered, and because of this prosperity, and he in turn has developed because such organizations as yours have furnished a medium by means of which he might develop. Our country develops as he and all other citizens develop. America will be great and free when its 80,000,000 people without regard to color are prosperous and free. "This country of ours, the outgrowth of the efforts of men through the centuries, to know the best in human life, struggled for years and we trust for once and all, with the question as to whether we should be a free or a slave civilization and whether the mission for which America was born should fail. The abolitionist who preached with the energy of a crusader for the liberation of all mankind—the soldier and sailor who died that such might be accomplished—were but the reincarnation of those men of other centuries, who out from the blackest night of oppression ever emerged at God's command to lead the world to a better day. "'Their cause is just Their good swords rust, Their souls are with the saints we trust.' "All honor to these. 'We pay just tribute to those dead but sceptered sov'rans who still rule our spirits from their urns.' They rule in that the things for which they wrought are luminous and instinct with life, and that their undying principles lay hold on individuals and governments when they would stray and lift them to higher thoughts and nobler aims. These men who preached for justice and equality before the law gave inspiration to a race emerging from the wilderness, less than a half century ago and four million freedmen following their preachments, appreciative of their efforts, have marched toward progress and a better day. In order that this might be fully accomplished legislation was necessary to protect these people in the enjoyments of their rights and privileges, enabling them to succeed. "The freedom of these people was accomplished in the clash of battle. A change in the social fabric was made by the stern arbitrament of arms. Legislation was necessary that the Negro's status might be fully fixed in the government. Men saw that for him there was no real liberty until he THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORAD was panoplied with all the rights of an American citizen. Then came the passage of the war amendments, the first of which made legal the Emancipation Proclamation and prevented the putting into force of vagrancy laws passed by the Southern states, which in effect reduced the Negro to a condition of bondage. "This legislation had in view the prohibition of peonage, which had grown to such enormous proportions and which iniquity is being stamped out vigorously by the administration of President Roosevelt. "The 14th amendment fixed for the first time in the history of the American republic the constitutional requirements for civilization and provided for the penalization of such states as might undertake to disfranchise the race. "The 15th amendment sought to make still more secure the Negro's right to vote and provided for a congressional method of enforcing that right. "The justification of these war amendments is to be seen in the subsequent efforts to deprive a loyal, faithful class of that which should be the inalienable right of every citizen, the right to a free ballot and a fair count. "The great men of that time who enacted this legislation could not forget that in war and in peace on sea or land, where danger most lurked, where privation held sway the Negro had ever been faithful and true. They realized further that the American republic which had been a living contradiction in that it stood for liberty while half slave and half free would in time find the words 'Liberty, fraternity and equality' meaningless. They realized that you cannot make a man good and great without giving him real liberty—liberty of body, mind and soul, and that a republic cannot be made great until all its citizens are truly free. In a republic such as ours whose greatness is alike the wonder and admiration of the civilized world, there can be no master and slave, but the regnancy of an enlightened conscience must operate in the control of its affairs. "The question is being propounded—shall the people rule? I reply on behalf of ten million Negroes in America that we shall be pleased and most fortunate to see the people rule. "I ask the propounder of this question to whom does he refer as 'people?' Does he mean the white people.

THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. MAKING THE EVIDENCE TO FIT. Shinaman Was Willing to Leave It All to the Lawyer. When John J. Barrett was new at the San Francisco bar two Chinamen entered his office and retained him to help prosecute "one velly bad man, Jim Hing." Having locked the retainer in the safe, Mr. Barrett inquired what Jim Hing had done. "Him velly bad man," the spokesman replied. "Jim Hing kill he wife. He live same alleyway, 'close the stleet. Me—my blother—both look out window 'close alleyway, see Jim Hing stabbee wife. She die light away. He lun. You hang Jim Hing?" "Certainly," said Mr. Barrett. "But you must tell the police just what you saw." "Jim Hing kill wife—" they began, when the lawyer interrupted: "Yes, yes, I know; but when you first saw Jim was the knife high up or drawn low?" "Hoong yeh goyamen zoon fah goon quuong gey yoola—" the Chinamen began, when Mr. Barrett again interrupted: "Answer me truthfully. Stop consulting. Was the knife up high or down low?" The elder Chinaman looked puzzled. Restraining the impulse to consult his brother again, he turned a guileless stare on Mr. Barrett. "Which you think best?" he replied. —Harper's Weekly. PRETTY IDEA FOR A WEDDING. Child Attendants All Attired in Picturesque Costumes. It is rare than an attempt is made to convert a small boy who takes part in a wedding procession into something picturesque. But it has just been done at a smart wedding in London, so brides-to-be take notice! The costumes of all the children preceding the bride were copied from a picture by Hoppnerr. The costumes of the girls were not remarkable, although they were quaint and charming. They wore thin white frocks in the Kate Greenaway style, with very short waists, long, scanty skirts, blue sashes under the arm and blue ribbon wound in the hair. The boys wore the little old-fashioned picture suits, with high-waisted trousers that went to the ankles, made of white nankeen, and pale blue shirts. The effect was said to be very pretty. Kept, But Not Used. George Kayes, clerk at the Fairmont, who is English but is ambitious to outgrow it, was discussing the endurance contest in Judge Lawlor's court. "Of course, I know you got your jury system from England," he said, "and so I suppose I ought not to criticise it. But this is a country of progress and you ought to try to make some improvement." "Suggest one," interposed Attorney General Lauck, who was passing. "Well, you might allow more leeway in the matter of having opinions. Now, if I were a talesman I should not consider it a bar to jury service if I had an opinion. I could lay it aside while the trial was on." "And what would you do with the opinion while it was laid aside?" "I would keep it."—San Francisco Chronicle The best equipped Pleasure resort in the West. Ping Pong Pool and Billiards T. R.

The old complexion of the Alliance at 1712 Curtis street Sunday was manifestly noticeable because of the excellent program rendered. Owing to the illness of the pianist, the or chestra asked to be excused unti next Sunday. The original poem by C. D. Clem, based on “Brownsville,’ and entitled ‘‘Herod’s Sacrifice,” was enthusiastically applauded Some of the members wanted 10,000 capies printed and given throughout the State at large. After announcing his desire to publish a pamphlet of all ot his poems for ten cents the Allianc- voted to assist him in the sale of the same, before he departed on his Ly- ceum course in Missouri. Miss Elsie Von Dickershon, as it is always hei custom, held the audience spel: bound by the pathetic recital of a “News: boy’s Religion,” Miss Von Dickershon was compelled to respond to the ap plause with a graceful bow. Mrs Leona Treutman-Barbee had a very scholarly paper on “Prejudice,” which showed not only breadth in her research but she dealt with the sub ject with intense practicalness. The ‘murmur of applause which was evi- denced after her delivery showed to what extent the paper was appreciat- ed. Mr. Clarence Clark was absent. Candidate Campbell was introduced to the body and maae an excellent speech, and the Alllance silently ac- cquiesced in his support tor the legis lature.

The Negro American Political League stands for independence of action of colored voters. This year because of Lily-Whitism of the Roose- velt Republican party and because ot the unjust discharge of our colored | soldiers, the league has pledged it- self to Bryan and asks other voters to resent the insults by not voting for Taft under any circumstances. There- fore our league's work stops at the national ticket. In the state cam- paign the members of the league are free to act individually as they see fit, and hence I take this time to an- nounce my intention of voting an in- dependent ballot, and urge especially all my friends to work and elect Mr. Thomas Campbell for legislature.

It is 29 miles from Denver to Boulder and 14 miles from Boulder to Sunset a total of 43 miles from Denver to Sunset and one mile from the mines to Sunset, or it is 52 miles by railroad from Denver to summit of the hill about 1,000 feet immediately above the mine shaft. Freight and Smelting. Charges on ores from Sunset to Denver smelters is $6.50 per ton on a valuation from $9.00 to $20.00 per ton. Ores from your mines should be laid down to the railroad for $1.00 per ton. Geology. The rock formation of this region around your mines is as follows: The main rock mass of the district is a granite, both gray and reddish, coarse grained, and is a true granite. This rock has been metamphosed and disturbed by a large area of eruptive rock series, commonly known as porphyry. I can say that the geological conditions existing in this immediate vicinity are most favorable for ore deposition and mineralization, taking in consideration the different mining properties surrounding Sugar Loaf mountain, this district is one of good promise. Area of Property. The Golden Chest property consists of four claims, namely: The Golden Chest No. 1, a patented claim 150 feet by 1,500 feet. The Golden Chest No. 2. The Golden Chest No. 3. The Golden Chest No. 4. The latter three claims being held by location and annual labor performed on the main workings of the Golden Chest No. 1. Development. The property is developed by an incline shaft 125 feet deep, following the vein which dips 60 degrees from the horizontal. This shaft is timbered in a first-class manner and is 4 feet by 8 feet in the clear, and cribbed with red spruce timbers from top to bottom. A level 150 feet long has been driven to the west on the vein at 75 feet in depth and dscloses an ore shoot some 50 feet long, varying from 3 inches to $1\frac{1}{2}$ feet wide. A drift 12 feet long has been driven to the east 15 feet deep above the bottom of the shaft, there being a sump for the purpose of catching water and used for draining the mine. A tunnel has started in the gulch below, the shaft that is in 30 feet which will cut the bottom of the shaft in 900 odd feet and which would drain the mine. There are about 2,000 gallons of water per 24 hours in the mine. There are a number of small shafts, open cuts and prospects on different portions of the property and in a number of them ore is exposed. Equipment. The main shaft house is a substantial building some 25 feet by 50 feet in size, having a gallows frame. There is an upright boiler capable of developing 40 horse power and all necessary buckets, cars and tools forming a complete equipment. Character of Ore and Vein. On the surface and down to a depth THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. of 30 feet the ores are oxidized and are of a brown color carrying iron oxide, gold and silver. In depth the ores show a chalcopyrite and iron pyrite, quartz, carrying gold and silver. The main Golden Chest vein is well defined, having a clay gogue in each wall, and is from 3 to 6 feet wide. The walls are well defined and the vein is easily mined. Timber and Supplies. An abundance of mining timber can be had on and near the property as well as fuel. Coal for fuel can be obtained from coal mines less than 20 miles away. Boulder and Denver affords facilities for securing mining supplies as cheap as any portion on the country. Summary. In summing up the property I can say it shows ore values enough to justify the expenditure of two or three thousand dollars in exploring the Golden Chest vein both east and west from the main shaft for several hundred feet, keeping careful assaying record of everything, and by performing this work I feel justified in saying the mine will or should pay handsomely. Respectfully submitted. JAS. ANGUS SNEDAKER, Office 850 Equitable Bldg., Denver, Colo. RETURNS THANKS.

"It is this perfume," she said learnedly, "which makes us think that the town of Cologne must be scented. Johann Maria Farina invented, 200 years ago in Cologne, a perfume made of the oils of neroli, citron, bergamot, orange and rosemary. He called the perfume after his city—eau de Cologne—water of Cologne. By the same token, had he been a Londoner, he'd have called it eau de London. In that case the illiterate would now think London a scented city, and instead of saying correctly, "Put a few drops of perfume on my handkerchief,' they would say, 'Put a few drops of London on it.' In fact, it is a very vulgar and silly error to call all perfumes cologne. You might as well call them Chicago or Denver." Marriage and Sacrifice. Marriage, unless to the rich, necessarily entails many little sacrifices. The modern bachelor most misses his little week-end trips to seaside and golf links when he enters the ranks of the benedict. Week-ending is an expensive habit and young couples, even if they can afford it, are much wiser to settle down quietly in their early married life and make a real home. Unless they do this in the beginning "home, sweet home" will never be an accomplished fact. It takes two to make a home and there is no time like the first years of marriage for making a real "nest" home to last through life. Danger from Springs. In the summer, when so many thousands drink from tempting springs in the woods and on the hillsides, a warning recently given by Mons. E. A. Martel, the celebrated French explorer of caverns, should not go unnoticed. Contrary to a widely prevalent opinion, Mons. Martel says that springs of apparently pure water are, in many cases, merely the outflow of surface waters which have disappeared through fissures, carrying with them pollution from the soil, and not purified in their passage through the rocks. He thinks that even chalk is not an effectual filter for surface water passing through it. Fish Chased Ashore by Whales. A serious menace to health is threatened at Nahant by the large quantities 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 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. The Quaintest Station. The most quaint, queer and curious station along the line of the Erie is at Soho, just beyond the big Tiffany factory at Forest Hill. It consists of a large, old, spreading tree, around the trunk and lower branches of which has been built a circular wooden awning or umbrella. Around the base is a board platform and seat. Only a few houses are in sight, but trains do stop there, and they do say that people have been seen getting on and off at the "station." THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. Really Strenuous Work Cut Out for Sailor in "Drammer." "My hardest part on our unfortunate summer tour," said the sailor, "was in a sea drammer, 'The Tar and the Cingalese.' I played third mate. Me and the crew swum the whole act through. The sea was a blue cloth what the supers shook in the wings and, layin' it on, we swum overhand. Every time our palms hit the water you could hear it all over the house. "That fierce swimmin' in the wild seas was terrible hard work. Now and then your backbone would come down on the ocean and get all the skin rasped off. A wave would slide down your front and rip every button off your suit. The ship keeled over on a man one night, and before he could lift her off himself his ankle bone was busted. A man in the wings made thunder and lightning with one hand and ate a cheese sandwich with the other. The brave ship rocked to and fro, and it seemed that every minute would be her last. The dust from off the waves was stranglin'. If you glided too fast over the sea's surface you got splinters in you. Still we swam on. Sometimes, though, worn out, we'd swim behind the ship, stand up on the waves, stretch ourselves and rest. Then back we'd swim bravely again. When that terrible act was at last over we'd go downstairs, remove the dust and splinters that we had contracted from our long swim, pack the ship in a trunk, fold up the ocean and go back to the boardin' house for supper." Just Names. She had passed the summer abroad, and in London, she said modestly, her success had been unprecedented. The earl said he could readily believe that. "The dinner," she resumed, "that Lady Featherstonhaugh—" "Excuse me; the name is pronounced Freestonhay," said the earl. "Well, at this dinner Lord Dalzell—" "Though written Dalzell, it is pronounced Deal. But pray go on." "He and Sir Dugald Colquhoun—" "You mean Calhoun. Yes?" "And Lady Leveson-Gower and Mr. Bohun—" "Lewson-Gore and Boone are the correct pronunciations. But I'm interrupting you." "Not at all. All these persons and Lord St. Maur drank—" "Not St. Maur—Seymour. Well?" "Oh, I forgot what I was going to say. You've quite put me out with your corrections." "And your story was just getting interesting, too," said the earl regretfully. ∑ Is the best place for good Razors Shears, Pocket Knives, Combs Brushes, Pomades and all toilet articles at 1917 ader We are now pleased to announce to the public that we are now locating at 2057 1/2 Larimer street with all kinds of hair goods and ornamental goods of all kinds, and we also announce we have a full line of millinery in the latest Parisian style in hats and bonnets of all kinds.

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

The tests in the gas producer at the government plant have shown that many fuels of such low grade as to be practically valueless for steam furnace purposes, including slack coal, bone coal and lignite, may be economically converted into producer gas and may thus generate sufficient gas power to render them of high commercial value. In this way lignite beds underlying from 20,000,000 to 30,000,000 acres of public lands, heretofore supposed to have little or no commercial value, are shown to have a large value for power development. This is of importance to the west and makes possible a great industrial development. A Violin Virtuoso. In a recently published biography of Mischa Elman, the violinist, the writer says: "The boy came honestly by his love for music, for his mother and his maternal grandfather were good violinists. When he was four years old he begged for a violin, and one was bought to please the child. Two days after he had received what his parents gave him as a toy he ran to his father, who was a school teacher, and said: 'Listen, I can play your waltz.' His father took him to the next meeting of the village orchestra—it consisted of six pieces—and the boy played the waltz and another like one who had had years of experience." Easy Street. Easy street is a busy thoroughfare. People are moving on and off it every day. Only those who are contented with what they have remain, and the permanent tenants are few. There are some smooth roads leading to Easy street, but people who travel them as a rule, are restless. They want more and their efforts to get more land them once again on the highways of toil and distress. The rough, stony paths leading to Easy street are after all the safest roads. They are the byways that are lined with the flowers of content and unselfishness.—Detroit Free Press. "De Natchel Way." A rich northerner walking about in a southern negro settlement came upon a house around which several children were playing. Seeing that the family was destitute, he called the oldest negro boy and gave him a dollar, telling him to spend it for a Christmas turkey. As soon as the generous man had gone, the negro woman called the boy to her and said: "Thomas, yo' gimme dat dollah and go git dat turkey in the natchel way." The English Character. We English pride ourselves upon being hard-headed and practical people, though, as a matter of fact, we are just the reverse. In politics we are the slaves of catchwords. In morals we exhibit all the gusty passion of the prude. In philanthropy we are swayed by fits of emotionalism, but are callous to real need when the emotional fit is absent.—Sheffield Telegraph. Municipal Brewery's Lose. A municipal brewery, started in Vienna a year or two ago, has proved a very disastrous investment for the taxpayers. Nearly £400,000 is invested in the concern, and last year the working resulted in a loss of £18,000. This was in spite of the fact that the sales of beer largely increased, the total output for the year rising to 2,750,000 gallons. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. New York Park Has Many Visitors. New York Park Has Many Visitors. In the total number of mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians (4,034), on exhibition, the New York Zoological park stands to-day at the head of all the zoological parks and gardens of the world. Berlin comes next with a total of 3,149. The area of the New York Zoological park in land and water embraces 264 acres. Of walks and roads there are about eight miles, and of fences $10\frac{1}{2}$ miles. The maintenance force of the park, constantly on duty, embraces 141 persons. The number of visitors in 1907 was 1,273. 046—nearly one-third of the entire population of the metropolis of the American continent. Of this number it is estimated that 250 visitors were from outside of New York city. Anglicized German Names. According to a correspondent of the New York Tribune Judge Peter S. Grosscup's surname belongs in the "originally German" class. The name, he says, was undoubtedly Grosskupf (great head), just as his mother's family must originally have been Bauermeister, although she was known as Susannah Bowermaster. Among the Anglicized names in this class are Remenschneider (strap cutter), which became Rimensnyder; Rindskopf (bullhead) was changed to Rinskorf; Wannemacher (tubmaker), Wanamaker; Krankheit (sickness), Cronkhite; (Loewentritt (tread of the lion), Leventritt, and Knoblauch (garlic), Knoblock. The Pope as a Newspaper Reader. Pope Pius is a firm believer in newspaper reading. iHs favorites are two provincial sheets, Venice Difesa and Vicenza Verico. The latter paper he has read nearly all his life. When he became patriarch of Venice he happened to make the acquaintance of the editor of Difesa, then a struggling daily. The editor's views pleased his eminence, and hearing of the editor's high character, he offered him his aid. The patriarch's liberality and active support soon gave the Difesa a very wide circulation, and it is now so profitable that it is regarded as one of the most solid institutions of the great city. Canada's Railroad Building. For the first decade of the twentieth century one of Canada's greatest accomplishments will be the completion of the dominion's second transcontinental railway. The Grand Trunk has finished its prairie section from Winnipeg to Edmonton. From Edmonton to the coast, 700 miles, through the mountains, three years more will be needed. The work is exceedingly difficult and expensive. Pay of Teachers in India. At present the minimum rate of pay of a teacher in government schools in Travancore is 5 rupees (6s. 8d.) a month, and there are now 227 teachers on 5 rupees and 226 on 6 rupees (8s.) in government schools. This pay is to be raised to 7 rupees (9s. 4d.) a month and in futur no teacher will be appointed in any government school on less than this salary.—Madras Mail. Girl's Pleasant Duty.

It was the wisdom of the makers of the war amendments that the rights and privileges of Negroes so dearly bought in the war, could not be preserved unless we were given the franchise. They were statesman and our friends. The Negro who does not register and vote fails of his duty as a citizen and does his race an irreparable injury. Already in his speeches, the Peerless One is leaping from limb to limb, hurling accusations of bad faith and bad morals to every audience concerning his opponents. Such a course in 1896 and in 1900 did not win and we look for success for the Republican national ticket, if for no other reason than the unfitness of its opponents to serve. Had Mr. Bryan been given an opportunity to put his ideas into effect either of the times he has been a candidate for the presidency before, we would have been spared his third attempt, for no one would have been so foolish as to consider him. Even Colorado smiles at the thought of 16 to 1 now. With the American forces withdrawing from Cuba the good faith of the United States is being made apparent, and the imperialistic bugaboo of Democracy given the lie. So now, anti-trust legislation, tariff reform, currency reform, labor and land legislation are best gotten at the hands of the Republican party. Like a good physician, this party approaches the ills with which the republic is beset with no enemies to punish, no friends to serve. It is activated only by a desire to do its duty and deal fairly. It does not stoop to agitation through appeals to caste, it does not offer wild hopes of a millenium, but goes steadily forward winning a little at a time for the people, giving them opportunity to assimilate knowledge with increase of power. The gospel heroes of the Rocky mountains are in session this week in Colorado Springs under the presiding guidance of Bishop Abraham Grant. In days of old, the Roman Catholic priest in his solemn garb was the friend and champion of the explorer and of the conqueror, and cross was erected to the heavens under blazing skies or amid leafy forests to the glory of God and the greatness of the Catholic church. In these modern days, the African Methodist church is setting a wonderful example of home mission work, no less arduous than that of the Catholic priest of yore, nor less self-sacrificing. Colorado is honored in the presence of such ministers of the gospel. Their like may be found but not their superiors. They have raised high the name of this state in African Methodism and they go forward to greater glories and nobler conquests, chastened by the mistakes of the past, strengthened by its failures. This is the first year of the episcopal authority rests in Bishop Grant. How much he is welcome back, the second quadrennium during which words cannot tell. He is a strong man of the race, a wise leader and a strong counsellor. He is one of whom it may be truly said that he is so many sided and so much a man in them all that any line of human endeavor has lost a champion in his devoting his life to the ministry. He has chosen the most exalted calling and given it the best there is in him, and of the benefits Colorado is a sharer for four years more. He is doubly welcome back to the Fifth district.

TOM WALLACE Sec. 1733 Water St., Boulder, Colo. The success of the Republican national ticket, while not yet assured to the extent that the adherents of the grand old party can afford to rest, still grows more and more probable. As we predicted at the time of his nomination, William H. Taft, with his tremendous personality and power, with his exceptional training for the high office he seeks, is making an impress upon the American people that is above party distinctions. The genius of the American people is best described in one word, "results," It may be that Mr. Bryan is a better thinker, but it is agreed that Mr. Taft is the man of works. Then, too, the Republican party is the party or works. With such a combination as the one choice, Bryan and his isms has a tremendous lead to overcome. Why help pay big rent?

Notwithstanding this fact, we believe some people will support other tickets from honest motives, though their judgment may be at fault. We expect to strike hard in the interest of truth and the better interests of the race and party, but withal we expect to keep our temper and treat our opponents as honorable men. We therefore regret that there are a few participants in politics on all sides who are highwaymen, blackmailers, grafters, workers of evil. Of this last class, for those who support our party we shall have tolerance for the good they do. For the others, we shall have charity and trust that their wicked ways may go down in ruin with the bad policies their parties stand for. But for the few turncoats, having neither the manhood and intelligence to choose the good and follow it unswervingly, nor the will to follow bad motives with consistency, but who vacillate, trying to land on the winning side, we have utter contempt. For instance, a certain would be leader in this city has found himself on three sides of the political controversy up to date, and by the time the election comes he may be a Higsenite, or Chapinite. Such fellows exists as horrible examples to point out to the rest of mankind the worst paths. Keep off of date. Oct. 1, 1908, at East Denver Turner Hall.
