An Evening in Music by CLARENCE C. CLARK, at ZION BAPTIST CHURCH, Monday Oct. 12 FRANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN State Historian & Natural History Society TWENTIETH YEAR DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY OCTOBER 10 1908 FIVE CENTS A COPY OUR RIGHTS ENDANGERED There is one part of the ticket to be voted for at election that is more important to colored voters than all others, and we wish to call special attention to it, both to bind to it the support of those already its friends, and to win back such Negroes as have strayed away because of complaint with other classes of officials. We refer to the legislative ticket. So far as the effect on state legislation is concerned the election of the nominees of any party would probably effect Negroes only indirectly through the general business conditions. But this year it is the duty of the state legislature to chose a U. S. senator. And herein lies a distinct danger to us if power in the supreme law-making branch of the government is entrusted to any other party than the one which has given us the war amendments. Let the doubters recall the strenuous efforts made by Negroes through committees and memorials to win from the national Democratic convention a word of hope for their constitutional rights. Consider, too, how much strength this move would have added to the Negro anti-Taft movement. Consider the unqualified denial given by Bryan to the claims of Bishop Walters that he had made friendly promises to us. Consider the character of the men entrusted with with the destinies of the democratic party and their utterances in their home states upon the Negro question. If this is not enough to brand Democracy with an avowed purpose to make us aliens in the land of our birth, recall the measure actually introduced by a southern congressman designed to set in motion the machinery for abolishing these three amendments affecting us! So it is that we claim that above all other branches of the government, it is essential to our safety that we see to it that friends hold the legislative halls. The Supreme Court has on more than one occasion told us that our relief should be sought in congress, not in the courts, for the letter of the law did not define accurately enough the qualifications of citizenship to free us from the restrictions placed upon us by southern states. We grant that the Republican party has not borne us in mind as it did in the days of the reconstruction, but while our friends have been forgetful, our enemies we have always with us. Democracy has set up nights, has exhausted every ingenuity of force, has perverted Christianity and morality to accomplish our downfall. And even now, when the White House is in its grasp if it will make peace with the black citizens, it prefers defeat to victory. Let us stick to our hate as it goes to its. Strike hard! Strike home! The legislative power is what it seeks, and a vote for Republican congressmen and for Republican legislative nominees, means that we may continue in peaceful enjoyment of our homes, our families and our lives. If these generalities are not convincing enough argument, see what Denver county Republicans have done. First of all, they have nominated a colored man on the legislative ticket. In the person of Thomas Campbell of the Eleventh ward, the colored citizens have found a worthy representative on the ticket who needs make no excuse for his color and who can make the race upon his merits. He is typical of the twentieth century, which is oblivious to all else except merit. We feel assured that after a lapse of many years, Ethiopia will again be a real part of this cosmopolitan state, in that she will have a part in her officials who administrate as she now bears an ever-growing share of the tax burden. We opine that Mr. Campbell is from the show 'em state; that he is learned in the essentials of life; that he is a property owner and a married man; that he has fought for his country in the Spanish-American war and that he is a whole lot more that might be mentioned, but the one Continued on Page Eight [Portrait of a man in formal attire, framed by an ornate decorative border]. HON. W. T. VERNON, Register of the Treasury GRAND REPUBLICAN RATIFICATION Saturday Evening, Oct. 10th AT 8 P.M. UZZELL'S TABERNACLE SPEAKERS--Hon. W. T. Vernon, Lieut. Gov. E. R. Harper, Capt. Thos. Campbell, Hon. Geo. W. Gross Music and Singing J. W. JACKSON, Chairman Democrats What Have You To Say? Bishop Walters says he is now a full-fledged Democrat. The good Bishop's change of heart must be attributed either to Democratic principles or Democratic revenue. Of course, so far as the Negro is concerned, the Democratic platform is silent. Bishop Walters must, therefore, receive his inspiration from either the record of the Democratic party or the utterance of its leading apostles. Perhaps Bishop Walters finds some consolation in the following utterance of Congressman James H. Griggs of Georgia: "There is not a white man in any of the so-called Negro states who would not gladly see the repeal of the constitutional amendments making the Negro a citizen and a voter. While this is true, there is a disposition in some quarters of the south to laugh at the efforts of earnest, patriotic men in this direction. There is no complete salvation for the south outside of this one thing. Many gentlemen say it is impossible. The Negro gentlemen would very probably have said ten years ago that present conditions and feelings of the people north and south on the social side of this question were impossible. This is absolutely necessary to our final salvation. Everything else is a miserable make-shift, only to tide us over to the time when public opinion everywhere will approve of the repeal of these amendments and the correction of these terrible mistakes. A union half white and half black can live no more than a union 'half slave and half free.' Separation of the races would be best for white and black alike; but it seems that neither race is yet ready for that. The time will be, however, in the years to come when the manhood of the country, north and south, white and black alike, will demand it. Separation will not come in our generation, but many of us here today will live to see the repeal of these amendments. Separation will follow disfranchisement, as the night the day." Will the good Bishop tell us why he is'a Democrat, for we confess our inability to discover any principle at the bottom of it. Let no colored voter be deceived. The Democratic party never has been your friend; it is not now, and never will be as long as its chief apostles are such men as William Jennings Bryan, Benjamin Tillman and Vardmann of Mississippi. Dr. DuBois declares that he is going to vote the Democratic ticket in November. It should not be overlooked that Dr. DuBois is a resident of the state of Georgia. In this state at the November election, the voters are called upon to either adopt or reject a constitutional amendment disfranchising more completely the Negro voters of that state. We suppose Dr. DuBois, in order to be consistent, will vote to disfranchise all the colored people of the state of Georgia who are not so enlightened as he happens to be. It is quite amusing to note that every Negro man who for one cause or another has been influenced to support the Democratic ticket, claims that the race has been blindly following the Republican party for the last 38 years, and that he at last has gotten his eyes open. Of course, we will THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. not say that he has received an eyeopener, but it is interesting to note that the Negro has shown the same excellent judgment in the exercise of his right of franchise that a majority of all the people of this country have shown, for they have voted with the Negro and for the Republican party 30 years out of the 38. In only two presidential elections have the majority of the white voters ever voted differently from the majority of the Negro voters. But those white voters sorely repented of their folly and have voted with the majority of Negro voters ever since. Any Negro who can find any consolation or comfort for the black man in the Democratic party had better prepare his ascension robes for he surely is not long for this world; his vision is something divine. William Jennings Bryan, on several occasions, has said that the Afro-American has bestowed presidents upon the Republican party and received janitorships in return. Mr. Bryan either knows these statements are false or he is too ignorant of public affairs to be elected to the exalted office to which he aspires. Let the facts speak for themselves. Under President Roosevelt's administration the Negro has received more recognition and better recognition than ever before. Under the generous and encouraging influence of the Republican party the Negroes draw from the National Treasury today an annual income of $8,320,355.00. Here are some of the positions held by the Afro-American: Auditor of the navy department, assistant district attorneys, assistant librarians, architects, assistant postmaster, assistant weighers, attorneys, bookbinders, bookkeepers, boatmen, collectors of customs, collectors of internal revenue, consuls, chiefs of division, compositors, chaplains, custodians, cleaners, caster helpers, clerks, counters, charwomen, carriage drivers, deputy collectors of customs, deputy collectors of internal revenue, deputy United States marshals, domestics and waiters, draughtsmen, envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary, examiners of merchandise, engineers, elevator conductors, helpers, inspectors of customs, immigrant inspectors, imposers, janitors, letter carriers, laboratory assistant laborers, minister resident and consul general, musicians, messengers, messenger boys, machine operators, monotype keyboard operators, mimeograph operators, openers and packers, postmasters, patent examiners, pressmen, press feeders, pay clerks, private secretaries, receivers of public monies, register of treasury, registers of land offices, recorder of deeds, railway postal clerks, rural delivery carriers, surveyor general, superintendents of construction, samplers, shippers, stenographers and typewriters, storekeepers, skilled laborers, sewers, stablemen, teachers, translators, timekeepers, wagon messengers, watchmen, wrappers, wagon drivers. The highest salary paid an Afro-American is received by the envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary of the United States to Hayti, whose salary is $10,000 per annum. A number of government officials receive from $2,500 to $5,000 per year. Clerks are paid from $900 to $1,800. The number of Afro-Americans in the service of the government, exclu- sive of the army and navy, has more than doubled in the last four years of the Roosevelt administration, and aggregate pay has increased from $3,000,000 in 1904 to $8,000,000 in 1908. One of the most important offices in the treasury department, that of the Register of the Treasury, has been continuously filled by colored men, under Republican appointment, during more than a quarter of a century, while under Democratic administrations during that time no Negro was considered worthy of occupying that position. The importance of this office is indicated by the fact that the signature of the Register as well as that of the Treasurer of the United States is attached to all paper currency issued by the government, and the signature of a colored man has thus been one of the two names attached to every piece of paper money issued under Republican administrations since 1881, when Blanche K. Bruce was appointed Register of the Treasury, while under Democratic administrations names of white Democrats were substituted when Rosecrans and Tillman respectively, were appointed to that position. TREASURE PROTECTED BY MUD Effort to Be Made to Reach Stored Riches in India. A good story of hidden treasure comes from India on the authority of the late tutor to the heir apparent of Bhopal. In the hills of Amarkantak, in the central provinces, close to the sources of the Narbada and the Son, there stands an old deserted fort called Ran Bakalli, wherein, so tradition says, are collected vast stores of treasure and jewels formerly the property of the Hindu rajahs of the country, but for ages no one has been able to gain access to the fort because it is surrounded by miles of impassable mud. The late Sir Richard Temple when lieutenant governor of Bengal tried to reach it, but his elephant stuck deep in the mire and he was forced to abandon the quest. It is now suggested that a syndicate should be formed to exploit this treasure house by means of balloons, and a Calcutta capitalist has promised a large subscription toward the enterprise. The question which puzzles most people is how this ocean of mud ever came to invest the fort. An effort will be made to enlist the co-operation of the maharajah of Rewa, the ruler of the district, who is said to be an enlightened prince, though how it comes that he has not already taken steps to solve the mystery is not stated. What She Had Done. The singer arose and began "La Paloma." The Englishman turned around, he was sitting with his back to the orchestra, to look at her. "Eight years ago, you know," said he, "that same woman used to get up like that and sing 'La Paloma.' Eight years ago. And here she is again. The same woman singing the same old song. Never done anything else worth mentioning, I suppose. Yes, I see. She has done something else, too, when all is said and done. She has grown a fine mustache." Too Rapid. "Well, said the orchestra leader, "you certainly do play the cornet to beat the band." "Ah!" delightedly cried the new man, after his first concert rehearsal. "Yes," continued the leader; "you can't keep time at all." PAGE. 10. Poverty and luxury—these are the diseases of our industrial regime, to the cure of which the socialists offer their ineffectual remedy—ineffectual since the population of the United States is made up of 90,000,000 individuals, some of whom will be forever on the verge of bankruptcy, however great their income, and some frugal and always carrying their account on the right side of the balance sheet, however small their annual allotment of wealth. Poverty and luxury—twin diseases sapping the life of society—the one destroying ambition by withholding sufficient nourishment to the body; the other rendering men worthless to society by a superabundance of the good things of life. Poverty is a disease not indigenous to our American soil—it is a plague brought in by immigrant ships from worn-out Europe, and the patients are cured here by the thousands. So long, declares J. T. Lincoln, in the Atlantic, as there remains an uncultivated acre of land anywhere in the union, there is no real cause for poverty, nor any excuse for luxury while a foot of land is undeveloped. Sir Thomas Shaughnessy, the president of the Canadian Pacific railway, was the guest of honor at a banquet given in Toronto on June 16. In the course of his speech Sir Thomas referred to the fact that just 26 years have passed since his arrival from the United States to assist in the management of Canada's new transcontinental railway. The influence of that line on the development of Canada is beyond estimate. England has recognized the service rendered to Canada by this Milwaukee-born American railroad man, and it would be hard to say how much has been done for the United States by Sir Thomas Shaughnessy and by that other American-born railway builder, Sir William Van Horne. William Redmond, the Irish leader in the British house of commons, recently in a genial mood and in playful allusion to the birthday honors list asked whether "as a matter of general convenience and in order that honorable members might know how to address their colleagues with becoming respect it could be arranged that honorable gentlemen who had joined the titled classes should wear rosettes for at least one month after the conferment of the title." No minister was bold enough to answer. Rev. Dr. C. F. Aked recently caught the biggest fish landed from the St. Lawrence river, in the vicinity of the Thousand islands, in several years. Dr. Aked is pastor of the church which John D. Rockefeller attends when he is in New York. Considering that the place of the librarian of the Pittsburg Carnegie library is worth $9,000 a year, it was certainly indiscreet for him to make the alleged remark that Pittsburgers don't possess any great abundance of gray matter, even if it is so.

THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO, 12:2 8(a:5/83) 227 An Americanizing infiuence. “If any proof is needed that baseball tends to promote good citizenship among newly-arrived immigrants, just keep your ears open when at a rat- tling good game and hear the inter- national rooting,” said a veteran “fan.” “Foreign visitors of aristocrat- ie tendencies decry our national game, yut there is no dou t that it is one { the first of American institutions to ippeal to the average new-comer. tven before familiarizing themselves vith the national yell they seek true Americanism by the baseball route, wid every day the bleachers resound with the ‘Hochs’ and ‘Bravos’ of our embryo citizens.” Had Slipped His Memory. “Before I) answer your question,” said the great alienist, “permit me to refresh my memory.” Hereupon he consulted a notebook. “May I ask,” resumed the lawyer, “why you found it necessary to consult some memo- randum before answering a simple hypothetical question of only a few thousand words?” “The fact is,” re- plied the alientst, suavely, “that I did that to get the point of view. I'd for- gotten which side I'd been retained on in this particular case. Kindly spring your conundrum again.” Why Women Tolerate Men. “You see that old woman and th young one in the corner of the room,’ said he. “They come here every night for dinner. I don’t know whether they are mother and daugh ter or a rich woman and her attend, ant, but I wish you could hear their comments upon the men in the place. Critical as to thelr manners, their looks, their talk. I get quite discour aged when I happen to sit near enough to hear. Ever any man with them! Not that I ever saw, but it {s the women who never. go with men who are most critical. Those who do are lenient with their little foibles. They excuse them for the sake of whatever good traits they might chance to pos- sess,” A Dangerous Roll. H. Engels, an Oakland, Cal, boiler maker, met with an experience which nearly cost him his life, while at work inside a 28-inch water pipe. The line of pipe ran along a steep hillside and was held in position by wooden sup- ports. While Engel was riveting two sections together the supports gave way and the section in which he was working started down the hill at a ter. rifie speed. It rolled several hundred feet and finally dropped into a ditch in which a stream of water was runoving. Engels’ companion supposed, of course, that he had been killed, but rushed to the ditch. The in-piped man was taken out alive, but seriously cut and bruised and almost drowned.—Detroit News-Tribune. Science and Wheat. Science has many afds and sugges tions to offer to the future wheat-pro- ducer, such as rotation of crops, methods of soil tillage, seed selection, ete, by means of which wheat may be profitably grown in a permanent system of agriculture, says the Cen- tury. The future should bring to us as much, if not more, knowledge of soll fertility than has the past, and such knowledge will eventually be come effective in the hands of the producer and put off the day when population will cease to Increase be. In the Bakery. “This is a much-kneaded labor,” muttered the cook as she finished with the flour. “And I guess there will be an early uprising,” she added, as she put in the yeast. . “This is a good place for a loaf,” remarked the baker's assistant, as he looked tenderly at the cook. “Well, it may not be aristocratic,” remarked the latter dryly, “but one can certainly come in close quarters with the upper crust.” “Yes,” he sighed, “that does take the ‘dough.’ ” And then they both stopped to see how the rolls had panned out. Origin of Language. Language had no doubt one com- mon origin, the spontaneous product of man’s physical and mental consti- tution, helped by the social necessi- ties of his nature; but no monuments of this mother language have been preserved; nor have we any history or even tradition of the people who spoke it. The earliest known tongues, Sanscrit, Greek, Zend, Latin, Celtic, Gothic, Slavonic, have such affinities as we can account for only on the sup- position of their common origin, daughters of one mother, who perished in their birth-throes, but what that mother tongue was no one knows.— N.Y. American. A Slip-Up in Letters. A New Yorker, while visiting Paris this summer, had occasion to summon a cabman whom he desired to take him with dispatch to the Rue Milton. The cabman drove a long distance, and then deposited his fare, who, upon alighting, found to hie great indigna- tion that he was in the Rue Byron— at the other end of the city. He there- upon launched into a denunciation of the stupidity of cabmen in general, and of those of the French capital in particular. “Pardon me, sir,” interposed the cabman, meekly, “just a little mistake in the poet, sir, that’s all!”—Harper's Weekly Doubly Overdrawn.

PAGE. 12. TRUE REFORMERS HAVE ROUSING ECHO MEETING. Notwithstanding the fact that the big echo meeting, which was to occur last Wednesday night as announced in the newspapers had to take place the evening before, and as Sunday night was the only time available to notify the public, it is within the truth and reason to say that that was the greatest and most enthusiastic concourse of people ever assembled under such circumstances. Fully two hundred people were out to hear the echoes from the Grand Fountain brought back by the worthy delegates. Their reports did not in any way deceive the members. When Vice-Chief John Contee appointed Lawyer Ross and S. F. Shorts as escorts of the delegates, and when the order received them in their own peculiar way, then it appeared that we were having the annual convention again in our own hall. After telling many strange sights observed in the east, socially, financially and fraternally, the delegates, Waller and Davis, together with Chief Cash, gave their most flattering report, which crowns the Grand Western Division with honor. Mr. Waller made it plainly understood he wants to return to the annual session in two years, while Mr. Davis kept "mum" and spoke by his actions and eyes so plainly that everybody knows he wants to go again. The report is substantially as follows: The twenty-eighth annual session of the Grand Fountain United Order of True Reformers met on Tuesday, September 8, 1908, which was called to order by Dr. Taylor, G. W. M. The morning session was taken up by the timely and enjoyable remarks of the Grand Worthy Master, after which the appointment of the committee on credentials, and Denver was signally honored on all the other leading and important committees. Dr. Taylor made the following recommendations: Whereas, All corporations are boiling down expenses owing to the condition of financial affairs, therefore it is in keeping with good business sense for the Grand Fountain to reduce the expense or representation. Therefore, I recommend that the Grand Fountain meet biennially, or twice in each presidential year; that during that period the business of the institution be left in the hands of the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee; that the proposed change will reduce the expenses of the Grand and Subordinate Fountains a sum of ten thousand dollars; that the Grand Fountain meet elsewhere instead of at Headquarters all the time, and that a committee be created to find the next meeting place that the 'Reformer' be taken by the Subordinate Fountains and that the pald annual subscription be a qualification of the representative of the Fountain in good standing with the Grand Fountain; owing to the various insurance laws in the different states, that the following rates concerning policies of persons from 18 to 43 years at $1.25; persons from 44 to 48 years insured at $100; persons from 49 to 54 years insured at $75; from 55 to 59 insured at $55. The Old Folks' Home, a very creditable institution, had a rally and the Northern Grand Division won the banner prize, raising $1847.53 by the Rosebud department, while the Southern and Western Grand Divisions, each respectively having $768.15, and $140.47. Everybody ought to note with just pride the figures of the institution concerning the financial condition of the order General office receipts, $48.344.16: disbursed. $2.003.97: real estate receipts. $36.191.66: total worth of realty. $361.473.12: Reformer department assets. $11.207.51: disbursed. $10.667.70: Old Folks' Home assets. $12.406.77: disbursed. $14.746.45. All this money came by and through this order of colored men and women. The greatest feature of the conference was the prominence and activity of the women, who not only had opportunity and ability, but made good all along the lines. The Rosebud department has developed one orator of 13 years of age, whose peer or superior has not been found. Mrs. L. E. Cash, Worthy Secretary, showed a fine report of Denver's work, ending Aug. 31, 1908, and extending one year back. It is as follows: Number of Senior Fountains organized, 6; number of Rosebud Fountains organized, 3; ten benefit Senior Fountain senior members, 350; Rosebuds, 195, and class members, 12, making a total of 557 members united and linked together by that tie that binds. The financial department reveals this record: $687.85; supply department, $167.58; regalia, $95.19; Reformer, $23.22; Record, $41.88; Building Loan department, $140; bank, $152.60; policies' loan, $71.26, and Old Folks' Home, $15, making a total of 1,394.58. So enthused and elated over the reports that many members have made, as the slogan for this year, "Take the State," and cards will be struck off to that effect as a reminder to Chief Cash of his duty. Words fail to express the glad tidings brought back to us by the worthy delegates and a rousing vote of thanks, which was teeming of the confidence and honor in which Messrs. A. L. Davis and A. A. Waller merited, were offered them. All that can be said about Chief Cash and his wife is that they not only have but will make good. Their adopted motto is, to senior members and Rosebuds, "Take the State." Be sure and see Fay Grey in "Sugar Babe," one of the successes of the Pekin. Josephine Allyn closes the show this year with Cole and Johnson's latest success, "The Big Red Shawl," one of the most beautiful Indian ballads ever written. Did you like little Marguerite Patterson last time? Well, she is going to make a hit this season with "I'm Crying for Someone to Love Me." The new prison which New York is about to build to replace the Sing Sing prison has been planned in accordance with modern ideas of the duty which the state owes to those whom it is punishing. The cells are to be made of steel covered with a porcelain enamel in such a way that they can be kept clean. Each cell will have a wash-basin, water-closet and running water, besides a bunk for the inmate and a steel case in which he may keep his papers. The cell tiers will be surrounded by a large airspace to secure proper light and ventilation. We have not yet reached the point where it is thought wise to treat the moral invalids by the state for the cure of their moral ills as physical invalids are treated, but the criminals are dealt with much more wisely now than in the days when John Howard began his crusade for the reform of English prisons. Abdul Hamid may be a convert to "the pee-pul," but it was a mighty good thing that he kept on that steel shirt. When death, the great reconciler, comes, it is never our tenderness that we repent of, but our severity.

There are two restaurants in our city that cater particularly for the colored patronage—A Chinese and colored restaurant, but sorry to say that at present time the Chinamen do a better business among the Negroes, yet the colored restaurant owner is in a better location, gives cleaner and better service, and a better meal for the same money. The Chinamen do not belong, neither do they attend any our churches.

C. W. HOLMES, Pastor. Royal Parents Getting Wise. Over-education and severe training have been the bane of youths born to become sovereigns, for the reaction has ever led them into excesses which proved their ruin. Had Crown Prince Rudolph of Austria, for instance, received proper care, as a boy, he could not have gone to the devil as he did, and would not have died an ignoble death. The mistake is admitted now when too late, for the present generation of royal families, but there is a promise that common sense will be used in the bringing up of the next, for even the venerable Emperor Franz Josef is said to realize the dangers of the older methods, and what a hard time his only son had with his tutors and masters. There seems to have been no "home influence" in the routine of the education of princes. Mother is eliminated. The German emperor, with all his martinet ideas, has not forbidden a certain amount of "mother" in his six sons' bringing up, so the empress has seen more of her children after they left the nursery than was formerly the custom with rigorous court etiquette, and their health, at least, has been well looked after. The crown prince of Austria's fate was not in vain, says the Boston Herald, if it has taught royal parents the wisdom of the newer education; that while drilling and cramming the poor little bodies and brains, their moral and human qualities must be cultivated in the affectionate atmosphere of home. It is said the children of the young king and queen of Spain will be brought up according to the new ideas, and some traditions of Spanish education are to be rudely shattered for the good of a future monarch's constitution and his mental development. Nature may as well prepare to give up her secrets. Thomas A. Edison is going to quit the moneymaking game and devote the rest of his life to investigations in the realms of pure science. Now we shall know why is a hen and all those other intricate and hitherto unanswerable problems. The vermiform appendix that heretofore has laughed when questioned as to its purpose will have to sit up and give straight answers or it will be ruthlessly exposed. University professors who have been making starfish may as well throw up their hands. The electric wizard doubtless will make sunfish or moonfish at the first attempt. As for radium, probably he will show how each family can make a supply for home consumption out of a pair of old shoes. Proceed, Tom, exclaims the Chicago Daily News.

Edith Scott is a broiler this year, and also sings one of the daintiest songs of the season, “Queen of the Prairie.” Some idea of the way the people of New York city rush to the seaside on hot days may be formed from the remark of a woman ticket-seller on a railroad to Coney island. She is kept so busy selling tickets that she does not have time to brush the mosquitoes off. “I used to pause long enough to brush them off,” she said, “and the people who had to wait for their tickets, and maybe missed a train in consequence, looked daggers at me.” MRS.

It is said that in the several states the number killed in mining has been from two to four times greater for each 1,000 miners employed than in foreign countries, At last the government has waked up, and Great Britain, Germany and Belgium have been asked io send over experts to help us safeguard the lives of miners. The call has been heeded, the experts are com- ing, and out of this move will prob- ably grow experimental stations such as the European countries have long had for lessening the death rate in mining. Whatever may be thought of the wisdom of some of Andrew Carne- gie’s gifts, he certainly put the $100,- 000 donated for the erection of a Cen- tral American court of justice, to try international cases, where it is sore- ly needed.

PAGE 2 The Easy Chair. Only the Englishman knows the science of sitting down. He alone has evolved the chair which recovers for its students all the comfort that has been lost in the day, all the hope that the morning may so inhospitably have barred, says the Saturday Review. Watch, say, a Frenchman in an English easy chair and you will find him no worthy apprentice of the science. He is ill at ease and out of sympathy with the chair. But the Englishman has no such quarrel with comfort. He does not, as the Frenchman, sit at attention. There needs not, in fact, be any doubt that England's position as optimist among the nations is due largely to the appreciation of the easy chair. Had Schopenhauer lived in England and been instructed in the art of sitting down he would have written dainty testimonials of the charm of human nature. Pope had no optimism, and it is not surprising that he complained of the "rack of a too easy chair," for only an optimist can be comfortable. Whistler refused to have an easy chair in his house, and quite inevitably wrote a book on the art of making enemies. Carlyle lived among the hard angles of uncomfortable furniture and wrote irritably. A man's literary taste, it may as well be said, is not formed so much by his education or his early life, or his friends, as by his chairs. A man without an easy chair would develop an austere taste. He would read Bacon, Hume, Macaulay. A man with an uncomfortable easy chair would read Hazlitt, Carlyle, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Ibsen. A man with a chair which he had molded to all the whims of his body would read Dickens, Lamb, Shakespeare, Meredith, Flaubert, Tennyson. No one, fortunately, has a finer instinct for comfort than the Englishman, and so long as this is so there should be no danger of the decline of good books and poetry and optimism. Only the man who has an easy chair can read the right books. The name of Metchnikoff has been attached to a number of interesting scientific discoveries. It hasn't reached the status of a household word, but is sufficiently well known to give it a familiar look. Metchnikoff is connected with the Pasteur institute in Paris and is also a student of the human organism. Metchinkoff's latest discovery is macrophagoytosis, the disease of old age—a disease that Metchnikoff asserts is curable. He even goes so far as to say that a hundred years hence the disease of old age will be treated like bronchitis and diphtheria are treated, and cured. At the present time, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer, our knowledge of the ailment—no doubt the oldest and most fatal the world has known—is not sufficiently acute to enable us to attack it directly. It must be fought through the diet, by careful and abstemious hygiene, by moderate exercise, by sufficient sleep, by a vegetarian diet, by abstinence from the popular liquids and by a close attention to a number of minor details that go to the making up of the sum of continuous health. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORAD. Population and Industrial Activity. Malthus, in his famous treatise upon principles of population, declared that the natural tendency toward increase is checked by inadequacy of means of subsistence; but in our time this statement should be modified; new industries, the development of mines and extension of commerce, directly or indirectly, furnish means of support for increasing numbers and seem to create a demand for human beings—causing what may be termed a population vacuum. The population of England and Wales, for example, in 1701, was 6,121,525; in 1751 the total number of inhabitants had increased but 214,315, or 3.5 per cent. in 50 years. After the middle of the eighteenth century, however, continuous increase occurred, amounting to 3,000,000 in 1801, 9,000,000 in 1851, and 14,500,000 in 1901. This change was coincident with the creation of British industry and trade. But if it be true, declares W. S. Rossiter in Atlantic, that the quickening of industrial life has tended to increase population, the present stationary condition of population in parts of Europe, previously pointed out, and the diminishing increase of population in the United States, suggest the possibility that what may be termed the drawing power of natural and industrial resources upon population has culminated. We are justified at least in asking what influences upon increase of population, if any, are being exerted by the marvelous economic changes now in progress. Greater New York has started out to stop the noises of civilization, and at the very outset of the crusade puzzled Brooklyn policemen are wanting to know if a mother's putting her baby to sleep with a lullaby comes under the prescribed sounds. There is nothing in ancient history to rank in weird effect with modern reform. Turkish women are unveiling. Foolish girls! They are discarding the mystery wherein, in all probability, their chiefest attraction lay. Within the last few weeks The Statesman has sent notices to many of its out-of-town subscribers of their indebtedness. A recent order of the Post Office Department, regulating the matter admissable to second-class mail privileges, compels all newspapers to keep its subscription lists paid up. Many have responded to our letters, and the few who have not done so will please do so at once. It is essential that we conform to the postal regulations and we can easily do so with the co-operation of our patrons. Let each one who received a letter from us make acknowledgment of it today.

Other contributors get economical and write their news on such small pieces of paper that they become lost among the larger sheets on which such matter is usually written.

APPETITE AND THE EMOTIONS. Why Shouldn't One Eat, Even if Very Happy or Very Sad? The following really happened on board a pleasure steamer in the Kyles of Bute. A young honeymoon couple were sitting side by side, gazing on the lovely scenery around them. "Isn't it heavenly, George?" she murmured. "I feel thrills all over me." Then without a pause, as if still carried away by the inspiration of the moment: "Dearest, if there are any left, I think I would like a chocolate." No good reason exists why spiritual emotions should not make one hungry. The bride who demanded sweets was wiser than a girl who once remained starving and inconsolable in her room after the departure of her lover for India. At last an amateur Hebe ventured upstairs with a cup of coffee and a plate of toast. Yielding to persuasion, the afflicted maiden was induced to eat and drink, and began to look somewhat less dejected. "I believe I was dying for something all the time," she finally confessed; "but I was afraid to ask, lest people would believe me to be less unhappy than I really am."—Black and White. INTO SERE AND YELLOW LEAF. Eighteenth Century Women Seem to Have Willingly Settled Down. In an English novel of the eighteenth century the author thus refers to a certain woman: "She had reached the age of 35, an age beyond which no woman can hope either to feel or inspire deep affection." In one of George Meredith's early novels he refers to a character as a woman "on the criminal side of 30." A Boston woman in the last century, after reaching the age of 30, put on, over her abundant natural hair, a false front and a cap. These were the outward and visible signs of the matronly maturity she had reached. She gave up at the same time all the gayer forms of social intercourse. She confined herself thereafter to the mild and elderly variety. She had "come out" into Boston society at 15. After two years of social gayeties she had married. At 30 she was the mother of eight children. She had lived the active part of her life. In accordance with the conventions of her time she settled down to a life of vegetating domesticity. She was not an exception. She was the normal woman of her day, registering its customs, just as a good thermometer registers the temperature.—Appleton's Magazine. Handsomeness. "There's no doubt about it," said the promoter; "when that mine does pay it will pay handsomely." "I'm sure of it," answered the patient investor.

More or Less about Politics The writer is reminded of the difference between the Republicanism to which this paper invites you and the Democracy of Bryan and his friends and supporters, by the permission given to Hon. W. T. Vernon to address an audience in the People's Tabernacle by Parson Uzzell, a Republican. Too bitter is the memory of the back row in southern churches set apart for us when curiosity or necessity took us there to worship God. We know both parties talk alike and that Democratic promises sound as good as Republican, but test them by your experience. Do not be deluded by what some ong else says. Think for yourself. Compare a colored man in the rostrum of a white church here with trembling blacks in the back seats down south. The southerner is satisfied with us in our place—when he picks the place. It would be comical were it not pathetic to hear Negroes quoting Col. Henry W. Watterson as a great friend of the race. In all of Col. Watterson's utterances in trying to induce the Negro to support the Democratic ticket, he has never once said that his party would restore the franchise to the Negroes in the south, repeal the humiliating Jim Crow car laws or accord the Negro better treatment in the future than he has been receiving at their hands in the past. We would be very glad indeed to hear what the distinguished Colonel has to say on these points. From present indications the few would-be leaders who are trying to deceive the colored voter into supporting the Democratic ticket are in danger of being without a following. Reports coming in from all sections of the country state that upon the final wind-up the colored voters are beginning to see that they have nothing to hope for with the Democratic party and that they are being deceived by their would-be leaders who advise them to support the Democratic ticket. A few weeks ago we said one great asset of Republican success in this state this fall was the personality of John F. Vivian, our state chairman, as it was upon him more than upon anyone else that the reliability of party promises depended. Through him W. A. Gatewood or Eastonville is official stenographer at the Republican state headquarters. Mr. Gatewood is an old citizen of this state, formerly occupying a similar position in the First National Bank of Pueblo, now engaged in farming at Eastonville. For several years he has been secretary of the Business League and stands high in the state work of the Baptist church. We have in times past shown some of the evidences of Mr. Vivian's belief that the colored Republicans are a deserving element of Republican strength, and now we cite this new instance and call upon our people throughout the state to consider well what this appointment means. The growth of the importance of the colored contingent of the Republican party in this state during the past four years, has been slow and sure. We have one place after another, all such as are new to us, and all such as call for qualifications that make us proud of the men and women who represent us. It is a pleasure to know that the products of one's hands and brains are not colored as is our skin, and in this transition stage of our citizenship, we feel deeply grateful to the men who give us a man's THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. chance, and to the party that makes such men possible. A colored Democratic orator informed his audience the other evening that we are not born Republicans or Democrats, but are born "black babies. So long as the colored contingent or the Bryan-Kern-Tillman-Vardaman party are content to have their little bit served out at the back door with a long-handled spoon, they will always be "black babies." Men who feel their strength and who know their worth should be ashamed to turn loose on the public such a woeful example of assinine stupidity as this fellow who got off this childish piece of canebrake wit. It is characteristic of some negroes to crawl in the dust of servility to win dollars from white people, but thank God the Republican party is offering to the race a man's chance, as has Mr. Vivian in this appointment. Now that we have settled the baseball championship, we will proceed to elect a president. The Taft and Sherman Club has secured headquarters at 824 Nineteenth street.

The mobilization of all British warships in home waters, available for immediate service, was completed June 30 for the annual naval maneuvers, and Admiral Lord Charles Beresford found himself in supreme command of a total of not less than 301 ships, with an aggregate complement of 68,000 officers and men. The newspapers, while they proclaimed that the array of such a force in the North sea is in no manner connected with Germany, do not fall incidentally to compare this, the greatest fleet ever assembled in the history of the world, with the fleet of 62 vessels with which Germany recently carried out her North sea maneuvers. President Roosevelt has informed Mrs. Cleveland that the San Jacinto forest reserve in California will be hereafter known as the Cleveland National forest. Mr. Cleveland, in 1897, began the work of forest reservation by setting apart 23,000,000 acres of timber land as national forests; and among the tracts so reserved was the forest which now bears his name.

Some one who is apt at figures has shown that New York city to-day is larger in population than 16 different states and territories, and further that within a radius of 20 miles are living over 10,000,000 people. The improved methods of transportation, which are fast widening the limits of New York's business energy, will soon embrace a radius of 50 miles, within which are located 2,364 different towns and cities whose total population, with that of Greater New York, is equal to fully one-fifth of the population of the United States. When it is realized that the permanent increase in population of New York last year was about 400,000, a city the size of Cleveland, O., some idea of the tremendous growth of the city can be appreciated. One of the assurances of a continued and permanent growth is to be found in the 50,000 marriages that take place every year. Besides this permanent increase New York is entertaining an average of over 150,000 transient visitors every day, and at some seasons, when the hotel accommodations are taxed to their utmost, fully 300,000 people are chrmonicled in their home papers as "spending a few days in New York on pleasure and business."—National Magazine. MORE THAN ONE DIFFERENCE. Aspect of Case That Stockbroker Had Not Considered. Edwin Markham, the poet, discussed rather impatiently in New York the semi-total pledge that has taken America by storm—the pledge never to drink between meals. "One might keep such a pledge," said Mr. Markham, "and still not shine. I am reminded appositely of a rich stockbroker. "This gentleman returned from luncheon one afternoon at about 3:30 o'clock. He took off his frock coat and top hat. He lighted a superb Havana. Then he leaned back in his revolving chair and put his patent leathers on his desk, among the pens, inkpots and business papers. "I tell you, Miss Carruthers,' he said—and he directed a beaming smile upon his beautiful, golden haired stenographer—'I tell you, the world looks different to a man when he's got a bottle of champagne inside of him."

Gaston Boissier, the permanent secretary, scarcely had the energy in his later years to keep his colleagues at their work. His successor, M. Thureau-Dangin, is the new broom. He keeps a quorum of the illustrious gentlemen together at each session until they have traced all the literary ramifications of one word. If they continue at this rate a new edition of the famous work will be ready for publication in about ten years. Each edition has taken, hitherto, an average of 50 years to prepare, and the academicians are only at the letter F. Each sitting lasts two hours.

A strange case has just occurred at Porthcawl, England, showing the effect of the imagination in causing disease and cure. A professional man on a visit there took out his four false teeth while shaving but, forgetting the fact and failing to find them later, suddenly concluded that he must have swallowed them accidentally. At once he began to suffer pains, a doctor was sent for, to whom he described his agonies; emetics were administered, but in vain, and the tortures made him twist his body convulsively. Then a maid brought the teeth, which had dropped behind the dressing table, and instantly the pains ceased. HAT BROKE UP THE CONCERT. Remarkable Headgear Responsible for Spoiling Performance. A story has reached this country of a hat which spoiled an afternoon performance at a small French playhouse. It appears that in the absence of an orchestra a lady presided over the piano. She was neither young, pretty nor talented, and not wishing to pass unnoticed conceived the idea of wearing a hat that would attract the attention of the audience. In this she was successful. The hat looked like a good-sized umbrella covered with flowers, ribbons and birds. As the lady took her seat the surprise it caused hushed the audience into silence; when, however, the pianist struck the first notes and the flowers, ribbons and birds began a mad dance, the storm broke loose and the laughter at last grew so terrific that the curtain was lowered to give the spectators an opportunity of regaining their composure. They never regained it, the performance was spoiled and the authors are suing the director for damages. Millinery Trade Review. Proxy Pilgrims. There are men who make their living by being pilgrims—by performing, over and, over again, the difficult pilgrimage to Mecca. These wanderers are called proxy pilgrims. No Mahometan, no matter how good his life, can be sure of going to heaven unless he makes the long pilgrimage. But the long pilgrimage takes time and money. Hence a priest discovered that it could equally well be made by proxy. And now from Constantinople, from Cairo, from Jeddah the caravans to Mecca are mostly made up of proxies. A pilgrim can proxy for more than one person—for a dozen if he likes. A caravan of 1,000 persons may actually represent—by proxy—50,000 dayt THE Denver Barber Supply Company V Is the best place for good Razors, Shears, Pocket Knives, Combs, Brushes, Pomades and all toilet articles at 1008 16TH STREET Phone 842 Black Braven, Ocala [Portrait of a man in formal attire with a tie and a lapel pin].

THE WOMEN'S HAIR CARE 4 years ago my hair was only a 4 years ago my hair just covered finger-length, and my temples my shoulders. were bald half way up my head. 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.

Why, the whole secret of life is wrapped up in it. We do not know the A, B, C of this great, mysterious power, though the civilized world is rapidly awakening to its transforming force. The prophet, the poet, the sage, from earliest times have felt and recognized it. "Be ye transformed by the renewing power of your mind," Paul admonished the Romans. "'Tis the mind that makes the body rich," says Shakespeare. "What we commonly call man," writes Emerson, "the eating, drinking, planting, courting man, does not, as we know him, represent himself. Him we do not respect; but the soul, whose organ he is, would he let it appear through his action, would make our knees bend." To-day even the prize-fighter, the uneducated, as well as the educated, the man who lives on the animal plane even as the man who lives on the spiritual plane, in fact, all sorts of people, are beginning to see that there is some tremendous force back of the flesh which they do not understand. The rapid growth of the so-called new thought movement, declares Grison Swett Marden, in Success Magazine, shows how actively this idea of man's hidden power is working in the minds of all classes. The celebration of the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the founding of Pittsburg in September will probably be honored by the presence of some of the kindred of William Pitt, the great earl of Chatham, from whom the city takes its name. It is proposed, among other things, to form a collection of relics and memorials of the elder Pitt, and an appeal has been made through the London Times to any who may possess such relics or memorials to lend or present them to the city. The reported fact that the king of Servia is looking for rich American brides for his two sons ought not to make it easy to get them. The Servian throne is not the most secure in Europe, and any American heiress disposed to invest in these princely titles ought to have them examined well by competent experts, to be sure that when they pay the money the royal bridegroom will be able to deliver the goods. A New Jersey educator wants "Mother Goose" and the familiar fairy tiles banished from the public schools. Other educators make them a part of the curriculum and go to the length of dramatizing them. The grand rule of the faddist seems to be: "When in doubt experiment with the education of the children." Mrs. Potter Palmer has just got back from Europe, with so many new French gowns that Chicago society won't be able to find time to read any solid literature for at least six weeks. There are one or two New York millionaires who haven't been sued for divorce yet, but at this moment we do not recall their names. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. "Country constables who make a living arresting speeding automobiles wouldn't have half so much trouble stopping the scorchers if they used a little ingenuity," says one of the offenders. "Chains across the road and moving vans blocking the highway are all right to accomplish the purpose, but they're cumbersome. My idea for causing a prompt slow-up is to scatter a lot of grain in a road and turn a lot of hens loose. They would block the road all right, and if there's one thing that will make a chauffeur slow up it's a hen. Dogs are bad enough, but a hen always runs the wrong way, and if the machine is going at any speed usually ends up under the wheels. Hitting a hen will sometimes throw the front wheels out of line and cause the car to swerve, so drivers almost invariably slow up and give poultry a chance to get out of the way. A hen speed trap is a great idea, to my way of thinking, and, of course, if one of the birds were killed the cost could easily be added to the driver's fine." A Sea Story. "Of all my sea experiences," said the captain, "this was the strangest." The ladies at the handsome captain's table said hush to one another, turned to the ruddy mariner with listening smiles. "We were carrying," he said, "a lot of troop horses. A dreadful storm overtook us, and for two days we wallowed in the trough of a heavy sea. Finally it was decided that, to lighten the ship, the horses must go overboard. "They went overboard in the morning. As soon as they saw that they were abandoned they turned and began to swim bravely after us. Bravely, desperately they swam. They followed us for miles and miles. I can still see them, a long line, their necks arched, pushing heroically through the heavy sea. "They sank, poor brutes, one by one." The captain smiled sadly. "And I still seem to have," he said, "all those deaths on my conscience." Proof of Japanese Enthusiasm. The spectators at wrestling matches in Japan pelt the winner with their hats. This is a custom with the Japanese for showing their appreciation of the skill of the winner. The hats are gathered up by the attendants and handed to the champion. Eventually the owners come forward and redeem their hats with presents of various kinds. The custom in question is, it is explained, due to a recognition of the fact that enthusiasm is likely to cool down shortly after the event which excited it is passed. So to prove the genuineness of his admiration the Jap gives his hat as a pledge, to be redeemed in his cooler moments. A Texas girl has been asleep for five weeks, a pleasant way of passing the summer down that way. Peary will fight it out on the line of the meridian if it takes two summers.

The veriest novice in gratitude would recognize in Mr. Twombly one whom no Negro could afford to overlook. Maybe you do not know him? Just ask the dates of entry into the postal service of the colored employees, and the large number beginning with Postmaster Twombly will astonish you and make you regret that you do not know one white man, who is the ideal American, knowing no man for his external appearance, but all men for what they purpose, and for what they do. thing for which we want him to have your vote and the one strong qualification for the office he seeks, is that in this election the colored people have a chance to vote for one of their own and do not have to feel ashamed of our happiness over the fact. He is a jolly gentleman and one whom it is a delight to meet. We have been treated to the spectacle of Negroes getting above the people whom they were chosen to represent. But Tom is not one of these. He has been in all parts of the country and met all kinds of big men, but is the same good fellow that knows his friends all the time, and not some of them, but all of them. These two men show the kind of legislature we will have under Republicanism; they will chose out of the senatorial candidates, a Republican. That Ben Tillman is not, and so long as they get someone on the opposite side of the fence from the one-eyed scandal to South Carolina, we have the knowledge that congress will not originate the measure necessary to do away with the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments and abridge our citizenship, in law, as southern states have already in fact. Next to our own representative, the one best assurance that the Republican party of Lincoln still lives, is the nomination of John C. Twombly on the ticket. How bright was the ray of light that shot across the sky for the black boy when Postmaster Twombly chose his clerks and carriers for their efficiency and forgot to look at their color. It is a matter of pride with us to tell how many men we have employed in the post office. M. CAPTAIN THOMAS CAMPBELL DENVER ITEMS C. A. Franklin has been confined home this week with lagrippe.

After words of congrat Mr. Ben Holley made a flying trip to Colorado Springs to attend some very weighty business affairs. However, he found time to go duck hunting, and he bagged some ducks. He returned Monday morning. C. A. Tasker and Prof. L. L. McGruder were recent visitors to the Springs. J. E. Norwood is up from Pueblo visiting a few days. Messrs. Harkless and McClure are here attending to political business with their confreres. Chas.

Although school has begun and the students are plowing deeply in their studies, yet there are students who are going now to the university even, if not, on time. Colorado Springs sent one young lady to Wilberforce, Miss Winfrey, while Western University gets two from the Springs and two from Denver. Mr. Guy Coker, who has gone to Western University before, and who became such an energetic pupil, returned last week to finish his academic course, while tomorrow the train will take Carmel Nichols to the same institution where he also will complete his endeavors along the mechanic and scientific line. The two young men are prominent characters and factors in the Denver social life, and every good wish and prayer goes with these young men, who will take the lead in Colorado's affairs in the near future. Young men, Colorado has her eves on you to make good, and at every step of your progress and advancement she will applaud and at your reverses and short-comings she will sympathize and support you into line.

Our state schools can't do this work. A Negro professor knows and can better touch the negro's pulse than any other race. Word has just been received from Santa Fe, N.

Eurl of Colorado Springs was in the city Wednesday. Last Tuesday night the members and friends of Ward's Chapel evidenced their interest and good will by storming the pastor, Rev. A. C. Murphy. The table groaned because of the load of good things laid upon it by the gracious hands of those who brought them. Silver and gold have we none, but such as we have bring unto you, said Mr. Connell. The pastor replied in a few well-chosen words, thinking the friends for their kindly interest shown in him and his family.

Commander Peary is on his way to the arctic, confident that this time he will reach the north pole. Whether he succeeds or not, he is without doubt the best equipped arctic explorer who has thus far appeared. He has spent more years and more thought upon the problem than any other man. He has reached a point nearer the pole than any other explorer; and if he had known as much as he now knows about the direction of the ice drift above Greenland, he would at least have come pretty near reaching his goal. This time he starts with that knowledge. He is planning to establish his base of supplies, not on the land, but on the ice, 125 miles farther north, and will travel northwest with his sledges, hoping that the eastward drift of the ice will be the same as he found it before. If this should be the case, he ought to be able to make good progress in the direction of the pole itself. He has adopted an ingenious way of carrying a house north with him for use as headquarters. It will be built of the boxes containing his supplies, explains the Youth's Companion. Each box is eight inches high and ten inches wide, and of such length as is convenient. These boxes will be piled up to form the walls of the house, with the end to be opened turned to the inside. When a package of crackers is needed, he can knock out a panel in the wall of his house—that is, open the end of a box—reach in and get all the crackers he needs, and so on with bacon, pemmican, oatmeal, sugar, tea, coffee, roast-beef hash or condensed milk. ---
