THE SHOW GIRLS EAST TURNER HALL WEDNES., OCT. 21 FRANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN TWENTIETH YEAR DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY OCTOBER 17 1908 FIVE CENTS A COPY REPUBLICAN MEETINGS MONSTER RALLY WITH POWERFUL SPEECHES Vernon has come and gone and behind lingers the memory of the biggest and best rally that has ever been held in this city in years. The auditorium of the People's Tabernacle at Twentieth and Lawrence streets, neld over a thousand people who cheered wildly the hits in the speeches, the music, and the occasion in general. It was a Republican crowd, typical of the solid intelligence and thrift of the community. It is typical of the Republican party to have successful partisans in their individual endeavors, and this colored audience reflected all that is best among us. There was music by the Taft-Sherman quartette and the Progressive band. The chairman, J. W. Jackson, introduced as the first speaker Geo. W. Gross of Rocky Ford. Mr. Gross makes a hit at campaigning, as he does at farming and cries of 'Give it to 'em, George' filled the air. Capt. Thomas Campbell, candidate for the legislature, was the second speaker and won generous applause for his apt way of putting things. The way being cleared, the speaker of the evening, Hon. W. T. Vernon, register of the United States treasury, was introduced. Then bedlam broke loose and such cheering was heard and such an ovation given him as he will long remember. It may be his Missouri blood, it may be his Western way, it may be his ability, it may be his personality, but whatever it is, Vernon has a place in the hearts of the people of Denver. For an hour he spoke on the various phases of the campaign, showing from logical deduction the position that suited the interests of the race. His discussion of the past legislative acts of the Republican and Democratic parties was instructive in the highest degree. His conclusions seemed to meet the approval of his hearers, for their applause was generous. His conclusion was a resume of the close relations that have existed between us and the Republican party and the cordial goodfellowship which is presaged for the future. Mr. Vernon has improved even over his appearance here in the presidential campaign of four years ago and then he was easily acclaimed as the peerless orator. Governor Harper was the closing speaker and his usual pleasing style was at its best, so good in fact that notwithstanding the lateness of the hour he received close attention and thorough cordiality. REPUBLICAN RALLIES. To-night there will be a parlor meeting at the home of Mrs. R. T. Anderson, with music and refreshments served. The speaker will be Capt. Thos. Campbell, Dr. Harper, Mrs. Cassellis and others. Remember the place, 523 26th street, near Welton. Monday, October 19, there will be a rally at the Harman Town Hall, at which the speakers will be Mrs. Ida D&Priest, J. J. Manuel, A. J. Fitzpatrick, Capt. Thos. Campbell and others. A monster rally will be held at East Turner hall Thursday evening, October 22, at which the principal speakers will be Lawyer W. B. Townsend of Pueblo, and Willis V. Elliott, candidate for District Attorney. Other speakers will be J. J. Manuel and others. Music will be a feature of the program. Mrs. Lillian Jones will sing and the Harris orchestra will play. At Canon City, October 22, there will be a grand rally of the Fremont county colored Republicans. This is their first and they mean to make it a whopper. Geo. W. Gross of Rocky Ford, and Capt. Thomas Campbell of this city will furnish the rousement. The greatness of the Republican party is never more apparent at this time when the united forces of discontent are trying to conquer it. The wonderful vitality of the policies it fosters, the eternal right of looking up and driving in to do one's best, give it strength. Be not deceived! When you write the word "Republican" on the top of your ballot November 3, you vote for the one and only Republican party and for the entire national, state and county tickets. There is no confusion except in the columns of the opposition press. The national and state platforms are clear and outspoken and carry the progressive ideas for which the party has always stood. Be not deceived! Vote the "Republican" ticket. Men who claim to be members of the Republican party and run upon other tickets, are boiters from the party and are not recognized by any of the party conventions. THE SPIDER AND THE FLY THE TV/O WAYS POLITICAL. For the first time in a National contest we see in Denver a streamer stretched across one of our streets bearing the inscription "Negro Democratic Headquarters," with the pictures of Bryan and Kern. One naturally stops to look at the anomaly. The sight suggests the query, "Why this interest in Democracy?" We grant that each and every man has a right to vote his convictions as to what is best for our common country. A patriot will hold self-interest subservient to his country's highest good. The spectator will agree as he looks at that banner that the world is indeed changing, if not advancing. The intelligent man can look back to a period of 20 years when a negro Democrat was considered a political monstrosity. Now in the evolution of things economic, coeval with racial development, whether for better or worse, for good or evil, the homus genus alllulled to above is not so rare. But we propose to inquire if the multiplication of the species is an indication that we appreciate our rights as men. I do not expect our Democratic friends will agree with me. But I take the unqualified position that no negro can vote the Democratic ticket National platform and at the same time increase his self-respect thereby, nor can he win that respect of the other race. Not long ago one of our bishops had his attention called to the high moral character of Mr. Bryan. "Ah," said he, "but he has never said one word in favor of a struggling race. He has uttered no syllable advocating simple manhood rights. Now," says he, "if you give me a drunkard or gambler, a highbred man afflicted with these human weaknesses, yet if in these higher realms he stands out and advocates the rights of man, of the two I would be drawn to the supposed moral derelict." If you ask one of the advocates of Democracy why the colored man should vote the Democratic ticket, he will look wise as he begins to address you. He says, first, the Republican party promised us our perfect political freedom and equality before the law, and it has not given us either. But he never gets it in his head that the great reason we are not enjoying these blessings is because of a bitter, hostile and intolerant Democracy into whose arms we rush unbidden They say again, the Republican party allowed the Jim Crow law to be enacted in many states without protest. But these people don't seem to understand that it is difficult from a constitutional point of view for the National government to interfere with State enactments of that character. And also it was Democrats in every case who perpetrated the evil. We cannot charge Republicans with being more guilty than Democrats. They say we ought to defeat them for the Brownsville action. Such persons must think President Roosevelt is the whole party, for he alone is responsible. Again they say if we defeat the party one time they will see we are independent. There are two main objections here. First, no man can show he is fit to cast a ballot at all who votes just for spite, or, second, for no higher object than to show that he is purchasable, or an independent element in politics. And so we dispose of the weak places and proceed to advance ideas concerning "two ways political." And each honest man can tell at a glance which way he should go. It is impossible to get a right idea of present conditions without unravelling the threads of history which are woven into the warp and woof of moral and economic ideas of today. Seventy years ago moral ideas, like the breath of God, swept over the land. Garrison was mobbed in Boston in 1835. Lovejoy died in Alton, Ill., 1837. Young Wendell Phillips dared the mad populace as he scathingly denounced the outrage against free speech and free press. It was a question of the rights of man against human slavery. God raised the question and it would not down. Douglass of Illinois spoke of squatter sovereignty in 1850. Judge Roger B. Taney delivered his great decision in 1857. William H. Seward hurled his phillipic, called the irrespressible conflict, in 1858, in the face of Democracy which rejoiced in the fact that the negro had no rights which a white man was bound to respect. Lincoln, the "immortelle," was raised up of God, who in his own way with the human as his instrument caused the negro to come forth a free man, or, as Bishop Grant has expressed it, "four million yokes went streaming down a sea of blood." The Republican party lifted Lincoln to power and he became its Continued on Page Twelve The Graceful Gift. The girl of natural grace always attracts attention and admiration. Even although she may be only plain or moderately good looking, and not pretty or smartly dressed, there is an air of natural superiority about her which forces her upon our notice. This superiority lies in the fact that the gracceful girl knows how to poise her body correctly, how to walk and sit becomingly; consequently, no matter what she wears or what her features may be like, she always appears to the best advantage. A plain girl who knows how to stand, move and sit with ease is far more admired than the beauty who is clumsy and awkward. Some girls are naturally graceful. But there is no reason why those who are lacking in this respect should not add to their charms by carefully cultivating the art. An erect carriage, a graceful walk, a graceful manner of sitting and rising, are necessary if a girl wishes to be really charming. And it is quite within her own power to acquire these virtues, says the New York Weekly. In the first place, she must study her own defects and the faults of other girls, in order that she may avoid them. Do not try to copy the graceful girl off-hand, so to speak, by forcing yourself into what, to you, would be unnatural poses and attitudes. That is not the way to cultivate gracefulness. In fact, by doing so you will probably make yourself more awkward and clumsy. By always trying to avoid the little faults which prevent a girl from becoming graceful, you will, as time goes by, find yourself drifting quite naturally into the ways and manners of the graceful girl. Doubtless the London Lancet is an authority on medicine when it cares to devote its space to such a trifle. Of late it has been engaged in the more important task of demonstrating that nothing edible is fit to eat; that no air is fit to breathe; and that in contact with any article, grown or manufactured, organic or inorganic, there is contagion and several kinds of death. Hence, declares the Philadelphia Ledger, its attack on the colored shirt comes not only in logical sequence, but inevitably. There was nothing else for it to attack. According to this eminent authority men wear colored shirts because they conceal dirt, the presence of which a white shirt would betray. And, of course, this dirt is fatal. It has in it all the germs of which you ever heard, and more entirely strange to you. Time was when a smudge on the linen was a smudge, and nothing more, easily corrected by proper laundering. Now that smudge is a sinister and devastating pestilence that sows to the right and left the seeds that shall sprout and decimate the people. It really isn't nice of the Lancet to scare us so. Interest in old-age pensions is manifest in many countries-acutely manifest in England and France. At the same time there is everywhere a tendency in business life to consolidations, which reduce the number of employes without raising much, if any. the salaries of those who are retained There is also a tendency to discharge the older employes and to keep only THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO One Way of Smoothing Over Sometimes Unpleasant Duty. Long ago the telephone came into use in the extending of invitations by society women, who found it not only saved much trouble, but did away with a lot of stiff formality. Maybe they will try to reproduce here the Postal Calling league that has been introduced by the women in Simla, the fashionable resort for English-speaking residents in India. To become a member of the league means an end to the necessity of calling in person upon the entire circle of acquaintances. The new arrival registers with the librarian of the town hall, and this brings the privilege of mailing her cards to all the women in the league. Should she choose to travel around Simla in her rickshaw she will find at the doors of members of the league little boxes labeled "Not at home." This means that should the caller prefer it she may drop her card in the box and go her way. Where society is loose-jointed and continually growing, as in this city, the Simla scheme would come as a positive boon to scores of women. The average society woman now never ventures out calling without her social register as her guide. So many are the so-called friends that it is necessary to look up their addresses, just as one turns to the telephone directory in the ordinary course of prosaic business. Calls must be made on many persons whose friendship is not wished, but whose acquaintance cannot be slighted. Calls by mail would smooth over a duty that is not always pleasant.—New York Press. HADN'T TAKEN HIS OWN ADVICE. This Man Like Many Others Who Have Fine Theories. "How long does it take you to shave?" asked the man with the brushwood whiskers. "About ten minutes, usually," answered his fellow traveler, who was trying to land a few scrapes between the lurches of the Pullman car. "And how often do you shave?" "Every day of my life." "Have you ever thought that if you devoted this time to study you could learn a foreign language in two years?" "No; I never did. That's rather interesting. How long have you been wearing a beard?" "It's 16 years since a razor has touch my face." "That makes eight. Well, you beat me. I am professor of modern languages in a college, and so I have had to learn French, German, Spanish and Italian. I suppose you began with those, too. What four did you take up after that—Portuguese, Greek, Russian, Swedish?" "Ah!—that is—to tell the truth, I never had a head for languages. They wouldn't do me any good If I had." the comparatively young. There are many who do not believe in pensions, but who consider it far better that a man receive an adequate salary during his working years. One or the other plan must come, for there is an investment of labor which deserves its permanent reward as much as the investment of capital; and there are corporations which by the highest standard of justice should be held criminally responsible for the niggardly salaries they pay. Easy Money. There is no more pernicious sophistry than this widely prevalent theory about "easy money," for it strikes human nature at its weakest point. People who could not be tempted to commit a crime will jump at the chance to get something for nothing, and many who might not be too scrupulous but would shrink from a heinous offense are not proof against the seductions of "easy money." The psychology of this weakness may or may not go back to the Garden of Eden and the primal curse of toil. Certain it is that there is an inherent revolt in human nature against the drudgery of earning bread in the sweat of one's brow. Normally constructed people combat this rebellious spirit through the human affections which ennoble toil and consecrate the hardest tasks to the comfort of loved ones. But there are few people who work very hard for the sheer love of working hard.—Kansas City Journal. She Was Saving Her Legs. Little Miss Caroline, aged six or thereabouts, was to be flower girl at a wedding. In planning her costume it was decided that she should wear pink socks which end about half way to the knee. Miss Caroline has always worn socks instead of regular long stockings in the summer time, so it surprised the bride about a week before the wedding to find her small attendant wearing stockings and looking uncomfortable in them. "Why are you wearing stockings, Caroline?" she asked. "I'm saving my legs for the wedding." was Caroline's reply. And at the wedding, to Caroline's great joy, the exposed parts of her legs showed not a scratch.—New York Sun. Orators Have Free Hand. Prof. Masterman, lecturing at Cambridge on modern England and the liberty of the subject, said there was enough treason spoken in Hyde park, London, on Sunday afternoons to fill a German fortress. Instead, the orators went home to tea. It is a remarkable fact, however, added the lecturer, that there is no state in Europe where attacks on the sovereign are so rare or so strongly resented by the people at large Those who are sure that the soil of New England is hopelessly barren may be surprised to learn some facts that are brought out in two recent bulletins of the department of agriculture. There were only eight states of the union in 1906 that had a larger acreage planted to potatoes than Maine. Only four produced a larger crop. Not one even approached Maine in the number of bushels to the acre. The average yield was 210 bushels to the acre, and no other state raised more than 175 bushels. The average for the whole country was only 202. Nor was it an exceptional year, for the average crop of Maine has been the largest in every year since 1903. Buckwheat is not a very important crop, but it is raised in 24 of the states. In this, too, Maine stands at the head in average crop per acre; New Hampshire is second, Vermont third, and Massachusetts fourth. Since 1900 the lowest average yield of buckwheat in Maine was 28 bushels to the acre in 1906. The highest yield in those seven years in any state outside of New England was $22\frac{1}{2}$ bushels. PAGE. 10. THE THUMB SHOWS CHARACTER. Point Worth Remembering When "Sizing Up" Friend or Enemy. "Whenever you see a man with a big, thick thumb, be careful of him," says a palmster, "and be especially careful if the first joint, the nail joint, is longer or thicker than the second. "The thumb is regarded as indicating both intellectual and will power. The second joint, if longer than the first, is supposed to indicate the predominance of the intellect over the will. Such a man, however courageous he may be, will always let his impulse be controlled by his intellect. He will be cool, clear-headed, both in word and in action, will rarely be 'flustered,' even under strong excitement, and however angry he may become, will rarely allow his anger to control his actions or lead him into saying or doing anything imprudent. "The man, however, whose first thumb joint is thicker than the second, especially if it is longer, generally mistakes obstinacy for firmness, is rash, quick to take offense, easily loses control of himself, and will generally fight on small provocation. It is almost impossible to reason with such a man, for when excited or angry he loses his reasoning power and is so carried away by furious passion that he often incurs the suspicion of being crazy." FISH FROM SEAWALL AT CADIZ Natives Perch on Eminence and Seek to Allure Finny Tribe. No matter in what direction one walks in Cadiz it is a pretty sure thing that the seawall will be reached, for the city is built at the end of a long narrow peninsula, connected with the mainland by a low, sandy stretch of ground. In many places the seawall is full 40 feet high, and rises sheer from the water. We saw many men and boys perched upon this wall, each one fishing with a very long bamboo pole, to which was tied a lengthy fishing line, at least 50, and sometimes 100 feet long, and all of them beaded at short intervals with little balls of cork. A small hook, with a shrimp as bait, is used. Patience is essential for the returns are small—judging from what the men had to show us—the fish bliting but seldom. Yet there should be plenty of fish near the wall, for the city's refuse and garbage are cast over this wall into the sea. Home Work in Numbers. I am a primary teacher, and find that many otherwise bright children are slow in numbers. I have obtained good results in many cases by recommending number games at home, making at the same time a strong stand against home tasks. A box of "pasteboard money" is very good for playing store. The little storekeeper will enjoy making change immensely, and will take pains that he neither cheats nor is cheated. Bean bag games, where a score is kept by each child, are also useful. The old-fashioned way of playing dominoes, counting by the multiples of five, is very fascinating to the average child, who at the same time unconsciously acquires a good foundation for formal number lessons in school.—Harper's Bazar. LADIES' TAILORING. Fashionable dressmaking, design ing. Mrs. I. M. McGuire, 2516 Curtis street. University Swine. When a college paper presents a heading "University Swine Take Prizes" there is likely to be a little puzzlement over the exact meaning. "Honors for Varsity Corn" is not much clearer. The explanation of the same is found in the fact that the agricultural departments of several universities, notably the state universities of the middle west, send exhibits to fairs and displays of all kinds. Very often the cattle or food products are exhibited not directly by the university, but by some graduate. The college, however, gets the go The Quintessence of It. "The gall of that fellow Stryker!" "What's he done now?" "Why, you know he's a chronic borrower, and when I told him I'd have to stop loaning him money now that I had a wife, he went for me hammer and tongs for getting married at his expense." Derivation of State Names Alabama; Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Minnesota, Mississippi, Ohio, Tennessee and Wisconsin were named from the principal rivers; Carolina from Charles IX. of France; Georgia, from George II.; Louisiana, from Louis XIV. of France; Maryland, from Henrietta Maria, queen of Charles I.; New York, from the duke of York, afterward James II.; Virginia, from Queen Elizabeth, the virgin queen; Pennsylvania, from William Penn, and Delaware from Lord Delaware; Dakota, Massachusetts and Texas took their names from Indian tribes, and Idaho, Iowa Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Oregon, Utah and Wyoming were derived from Indian words. Singing Pigeons. The queer Chinese change pigeons into song birds by fastening whistles to their breasts. The wind of their flight then causes a weird and plaintive music that is seldom silenced in the pigeon-haunted cities of Pekin and Canton. The Belgians, great pigeon flyers, fasten whistles beneath the wings of valuable racing carriers, claiming that the shrill noise is a sure protection against hawks and other birds of prey. As a similar protection, reeds, emitting an odd wailing sound, are fixed to the tail-feathers of the dispatch-bearing pigeons of the German army. Wolf's Tooth as Mascot. A singular revival is taking place in Paris for wearing the tooth of a wolf or badger set in gold as a mascot. An old superstition connected with the wearing of such ornaments as provocative of good fortune. The custom of wearing a thumb ring is also being resuscitated and at this present time a charming young actress on the English stage is demonstrating the vogue, partly, no doubt, because it is in keeping with the period in which she is living in the play, and partly in recognition of the fashion Paris is patronizing.

THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. The Hollowness of the Earth. That the earth is hollow is the engaging belief of a modern philosopher, William Reed. Says he: "Why did Nansen sail 15 days through clear waters and only advance one degree unless he was sailing round and round inside? Where do the seals and muskoxen go for their feeding grounds? Where do the fresh-water icebergs come from? Why do scientists treat the earth as if it were a solid and have to make out that it's three times as heavy as nickel steel in order to make their calculations fit? Why is the sun invisible so long at the north and south in winter, unless there's a depression which shuts out its light? What is the Aurora Borealis? Electric lights? Then why don't we meet it all over the earth? It is fires reflected from inside the earth?"—Harper's Weekly. Will Soon Belong to Language. The word "contraption" finds its place in the Standard dictionary; but it has not yet obtained full currency; it is a colloquialism. Bartlett notes its use as an Americanism. With greater particularity Mr. Farmer's "Americanisms" puts it into pillory as "a genuine American vulgarism applied to any new-fangled peculiar thing or idea." Yet the same author, collaborating with Henley in the "Dictionary of Slang and Colloquial English," seems in this later work to regard it as English of England, for the definition is "small articles, tools and so forth," and to this has appended the date 1838 as representing the first period of its currency. The Standard's derivation from con and trap seems rather a concession to the mechanics of etymology than an explanation of the sense of the word. What She Called It. A woman of a psychic turn of mind was telling a friend of a case of transference that puzzled her. "I was in the shop leaning over the case looking at the handkerchiefs. Another woman was beside me. Suddenly I saw that my lucky gold piece, a sovereign, had slipped out of my purse. So I picked it up and slipped it back. But the odd thing! When I got in the car and opened my purse there were two sovereigs. The one on the case hadn't been mine at all! But do you think it was meant for me, somehow? What do you call that phenomenon?" "I call that plain swiping," said the frend, who wasn't a mystic. Baseball Critic. Huggins—What has become of Fanning? Huggins-I didn't know he ever played the game. Muggins-He doesn't.

The Spider and the Fly Continued from page one agent by which a race was set at lib- erty. Now I say ‘this, every Repub- lican should feel a pardonable pride to know that his political ancestors encompassed a work so grand. It should inspire every man to emulate sucha noble deed and as questions arise we should settle them on such high ethical planes that when once settled they will be settled forever for they will be settled right. Now, under Democratic rule, “we had no rights which a white man was bound to respect.” But by the force of hard logic evolved till we have a stanaing in court to sue and be sued; we can in all places where we have Republi- can rule, cast a ballot, and we nave the right to hold property. We can see at once there is a great difference between the two parties. I have looked through the National plat- forms of the Democratic party for 44 years in vain for an expression in favor of a single civil or political right for the negro. But on the other hand this sentiment stands out prom- inently: They hold that the granting of the ballot to the negro was the greatest political crime of the century and it was instigated by malice to the Southern people. Hence a majority of the Democrats favor taking the bal- lot from the negro—those in the South, while those in the West; and North want negroes to vote for them, thus assisting the South to do so. We make a distinction between local De- mocracy and the National article. Some of our Colorado Democrats are | great good men, but when I think how | my vote here might assist to the cab- inet such men as the Tillmans, Jeff Davis, Vardaman and the more insid- uous John Temple Graves, who stand ready to take from the black man the ballot, his only weapon of delense, and strip him. of civil and political rights; I shudder for my people. When it comes to a city election white peo- ple look at the man who is to aamin- ister affairs. But in a national cam- paign we look at both man and plat- form. I believe we are in the crux of the battle. We are all the while seeking larger liberty commensurate with the development of our people along educational and industrial lines. The intelligent negro will go to the polls and vote for Taft and Sherman Noy. 3rd, and where is the negro who knows the attitude of ex-Goy. Jesse F. McDonald who would lift up a hand to strike him by voting the Demo- eratic ticket. He is the ideal man for governor of our great state. Clean, calm, judicious, he is conspicuous thongh found among a thousand of his}; compeers. He shines and will ever shine for his splendid abilities and great qualities of mind and heart. It is the duty of every colored man in Colorado to vote for Gov. McDonald and the splendid array of officials on the Republican ticket. Only in this way can we demonstrate that we can rise to the heights of appreciation ot the elective franchise despite the blandishments of so-called , modern Democracy. J. W. SANDERS.

It ig a common remark that* the farmers are the people who have been making the money during the last decade, and it is true. While practi- cally all the people of the United States prospered amazingly during the decade preceding last October, farm- ers, aS a class, prospered more than others. We are just awakening, says the Indianapolis Star, to the fact that the value of farm land is rapidly in- creasing in America. Ever since the discovery of the continent there have been vast tracts of unoccupied land subject to free settlement until now. We have at last filled up the continent and all the land worth tilling is under ownership. We are doing much by irrigation to reclaim arid lands, but these are rapidly filled up as soon as they are made tillable. Relieved of the pressure of vacant lands there can be no doubt that the value of farms will continue to rise and the value of farm products will rise with them. The present depression in the com- mercial and industrial world has caused no drop in the prices of farm products, no particular decrease in the cost of living; indeed, it has in- creased, if measured by wages. And so it seems likely to continue for years to come. The ever-increasing population will shortly bring Ameri- can farm lands to a level with those of western Europe, where tillable land brings from $500 to $600 per acre, and the prices of food products are corre- spondingly high. When that time comes intensive farming will be prac- ticed and farming will be more of an exact science than now.

MEAA CYCLE COMPANY, Dept. “JL” SHIGAGO, ILL 9 3 e Certainly the aboriginal Americans are catching on, as is shown by the following incident related by the Troy (N. Y.) Times: The five civilized tribes located in that part of the state of Oklahoma which formerly was In- dian Territory has a large section of land which looked good to many Prospective buyers. Under present arrangements the land is to be thrown open for purchase by white settlers on such terms as they can make with the present possessors. A party of speculative gentlemen thought it would be a bright idea to give the Indians a feast, with all sorts of rel- ishable things in the way of eatables and drinkables and complimentary speeches. Then they tried to make a deal by which they could get the land at rates that would make the invest- ment highly remunerative. But the wily red men, who had swallowed the tempting food and appetizing liquids as well as the honeyed words, were not caught. They perceived the anx- lety of the speculators to buy, and they fixed prices that were about double they had asked before the spread was given. These aborigines have cut their eye teeth, PAGE.16 LA JUNTA, COLO., NEWS. Mrs. James Scott has returned from an extended visit in Colorado Springs, where she attended conference and visited her many friends. One of the most pleasant events of the season was the birthday party of Mrs. F. O. McAllister. The rooms were beautifully decorated and Mrs. McAllister was the recipient of many beautiful presents. Rev. Prince read an original poem, congratulating Mrs. McAllister on her birthday and wishing her many more happy such days. Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Winchester, who have been visiting in Las Vegas and other points in Mexico, have returned. Little Mignon Badgett, who has been sick, is recovering. Mrs. Spencer entertained the N. U. G. Club Thursday in honor of Mrs. Prince, who has moved to Trinidad. An elaborate luncheon was served and the club presented Mrs. Prince with a beautiful solid silver berry spoon. Rev. and Mrs. Prince are removing to Trinidad. Rev. Prince leaves us for the duties of presiding elder. We are sorry to lose them from our midst. Mrs. Walker is on the sick list. Mrs. Albert Saunders is indisposed this week. Rev. Watson has come to assume his duties as pastor of Hubbard Chapel. Rev. Watson is no stranger and we are delighted to have him as our pastor. We hope to welcome Mrs. Watson in the near future. Mrs. Ramsey, our popular missionary, was with us Sunday and left us all better for her presence and exhortations. Mr. and Mrs. Berry of Sugar City were in La Junta last week the guests of Mrs. Edward Tyler. Mr. J. D. Starkey and Mr. Chas. Lenex spent Sunday in Sugar City. La Junta, Colo., Oct. 8, 1908. Mr. C. A. Franklin, Editor of The Statesman. Dear Sir: We, the officers and members of Hubbard Chapel, A. M. E. Sunday school, do regret so much to have to give up our pastor, Rev. W. H. Prince. His teachings and lectures every Sunday morning were always instructive and inspiring, though we are proud that he has been promoted to the place of presiding elder. We are sure that Rev. Prince will be a blessing to any community in which he goes. We shall never forget his lecture to the school Sunday morning on the subject, "Child Life." Rev. Prince is a clean-cut gentleman and a good preacher and a worker. Wednesday afternoon, Aug. 7th, the superintendent, officers and children, 14 in number, assembled at the parsonage and all cheered with the one cry, "Surprise! Surprise!" and a nice feast was spread in token of love for Rev. Prince and his estimable wife, MRS. J. TURNER CHILE PARLOR AND LUNCH ROOM 2534 Washington Ave. Denver, Colo. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. who was teacher of the primary class. Rev. and Mrs. Prince spoke of how greatly surprised they were and how much they appreciated this token of esteem and friendship, as unselfish and genuine. The children remained until early evening playing Simple Simon, the Johnson Family and the Menagerie. Eating, laughing and crying were all in evidence in its turn. We also wish to say that the members and friends of Hubbard Chapel are very proud of our new pastor, Rev. J. P. Watson. He has warm friends in La Junta and we predict for him here a successful pastorate. Yours truly, MRS. M. A. BERRY, Superintendent. MISS BESSIE VERNON, Secretary. REED CASE IN SUPREME COURT OF UNITED STATES (Washington Herald.) The case of Oscar W. Reed, one of the negro members of the Twenty-fifth infantry discharged by the President on account of the Brownsville affray, was docketed in the United States Supreme court Thursday. Reed brought suit in the District court for the southern district of New York to compel the payment to him of his salary from the date of his discharge until the termination of his enlistment, alleging the government was under contract with him for the entire term of his enlistment. The decision in that court was adverse to Reed. For something new see two pretty Chinese maidens, Josephine Allyn and Aimee Matthews, in the newest or Chinese songs, "Ching a Ling."

PATIENTLY PROGRESSING COLORADO PAGE 2 Happening of the Unexpected. The neighboring women were condoling with Mrs. Si Bennett over her latest affliction. With commendable cheerfulness she replied: "I've raised four girls an' three boys, expectin' every time they'd be twins and red-headed like their Grandpa Bennett, an' yet they ain't, an' I've worried considible over smallpox breakin' out in my big family—so fer 'taint. An' last summer durin' July an' August, an' mebbe part of September, I was real melancholic, fearin' I'd got an appendix, but I guess I ain't; an' through it all it never onct occurred to me that I'd be the one to fall through them rotten old meetin' house steps an' break my leg in two places, but I be." Couldn't Trust His Sight. Good anecdotes of Saphir, the great German humorist and editor, are still in circulation. A young couple, newly engaged, were favored with a letter of introduction to him, which they duly presented. Now, the gentleman was notorious for his effeminate habits and ways, and his appearance at once struck the eye of the observant journalist, who had heard about him. He said nothing, received the pair with empressement, insisted upon their being seated in his most comfortable easy-chairs, assured them how pleased he was to hear of their engagement, and wound up with: "Now, pray, you must, you really must, tell me which of you is to be the bride." The Mimic of Discretion. Discretion is the perfection of reason, and a guide to us in all the duties of life; cunning is a king of instinct, that only looks out after our immediate interest and welfare. Discretion is only found in men of strong sense and good understandings; cunning is often to be met with in brutes themselves, and in persons who are but the fewest removes from them. In short, cunning is only the mimic of discretion, and may pass upon weak men, in the same manner as vivacity is often mistaken for wit, and gravity for wisdom.—Joseph Addison. Greedy Little Salmon. Little creatures may be very greedy and yet not be able to eat much because of their size, as was illustrated for instance, in the case of a batch of about 20,000 little Chinook salmon that were hatched out at the New York aquarium. These young fishes, each about two inches long, would eat so much that their little stomachs fairly stuck out, and yet to feed the whole 20,000 took daily only one pound of liver and a quart of herring roe, both chopped fine. Mixed but Emphatic. "Since you got married you are late every morning," complained his employer. "Well," explained the breathless clerk, "I have to button up the ashes and shake down a shirtwaist and carry out the furnace every morning."—Kansas City Journal. Change of Heart.

Freddie—Because it was only a few minutes afterward that he was swearing over having to carve the turkey.—Philadelphia Inquirer. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORAD A publication devoted to femininities asks what has become of the fair haired people we used to admire? Where are lovely blondes, the strawberry blonde and the blonde cendree, or even the red-headed girls, where are they? Look where one will, brown hair or dark hair predominates. Science tries to account for it. We are told that the time is coming when the genuine golden haired beauty will be as rare as the "copper butterfly," and that a head like a wheat sheaf will be to proclaim aloud the colfeur's artful aid. The best of it is, exclaims the Boston Herald, the peroxide blonde has "passed away," so much so, in fact, that the very name is spoken in derision. And what means this darkening of the race? One theory is as good as another, and a favorite answer is, intermarriage; the different countries, with their distinguishing types, are blending more and more. Scandinavia and Italia, the north and the south, mingle in the west, and the degree of latitude, the temperate zone does the rest. Nowadays consuls do not go to their posts knowing nothing about their duties. During July a training school for newly appointed consuls was held in Washington. The pupils attended seven hours a day, and listened to lectures by government officers who strove to give them the instruction necessary to enable them properly to represent the United States in other lands. A keen struggle for the possession of an extremely rare coin between the pope and King Victor Emmanuel of Italy, both numismatists, has just ended in favor of the former. Iron cloth is made from steel and has the appearance of horsehair cloth. It is largely used by tailors as a material for stiffening the shoulders and collars of coats. Nightcaps as a cure for baldness are recommended by an English physician. The demon rum certainly has some influential friends. 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 mall 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. DO IT NOW LEST YOU FOR- We are in receipt of unsigned notices from time to time which are omitted for lack of signature. 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. It is not often that matter is intentionally omitted where some good reason does not exist. Therefore persons will do well to conform to the easy regulations which govern matter for newspapers.

In spite of the fact that Gibraltar has been held by the British for 200 years the native population of to-day is unquestionably Spanish in appearance, customs and language. Our walks through the town convinced us of this fact, for everywhere we heard men, women and children talking Spanish. It is this element that forms an overwhelming majority of the civilian population. The garrison, which a few years ago numbered some 7,000 troops, now numbers but 4,000, improved guns and projectiles making the lesser number equally efficient. The amount of sightseeing permitted to foreigners and to visiting Britishers has undergone a marked change, for not so many years ago the tourist was free to walk pretty well over the rock. Gradually this was prevented; but still it was always possible to go through several of the famous galleries. Now even that privilege has been withdrawn, and only British subjects are allowed to enter the within-the-rock batteries, which after all is not much consolation to them, as they are shown only one of the many galleries, and that a deserted one, so far as guns are concerned. Educator Urges Necessity of Teaching Children to Obey. Learn to obey! By obedience I do not mean a merely outward submission to force and authority, but the voluntary subordination of one's own will under the will of a better and higher intelligence. He who has not learned to do this in childhood will have great difficulty in learning it in later life; he will rarely get beyond the deplorable and unhappy state that vacillates between outward submission and uproarious rebellion. No greater wrong can be done to childhood than the one caused by our desire to spare it the necessity of obeying. Whoever conceives the duty of the educator to consist in giving in to all desires of the child, in gratifying all its wishes, makes himself guilty of the gravest sin toward his child. He denies it what, in view of its future mission, it cannot afford to lose, namely, the exercise in voluntarily subordinating its own will under necessity, be it a natural or a social one.—Prof. F. Paulsen, University of Berlin, in Educational Review. Only Loving Them A smart baby carriage stood outside a small shop in Ealing in the outskirts of London. In it slept a pretty dimpled baby, and beside it lay a fat pug puppy, its nose almost touching the baby's cheek. Beside them stood a little ragged walf, whose tattered garments barely covered her with decency. In turn she stroked the baby and the puppy. A lady passing noticed the strange picture—the beautifully dressed baby, the pug puppy, and the ragged child. The baby's mother was in the shop. "Are you looking after them? she inquired kindly of the waif. The best equipped Pleasure resort in the West. Ping Pong Pool and Billiards T. R. HERRON, Prop.

Purity of Accent a Thing of Really Large Importance. It is not the manner in which we pronounce unusual words which stamps us cultured or uncultured. Many persons who are perfectly familiar with the meaning of some imposing words which they frequently meet in print, seldom get them out in ordinary conversation. Consequently, when they do their pronunciation is apt to be faulty. On the other hand, a person who makes a practice of looking up every new word which he meets and who has therefore acquired a correct pronunciation of unfamiliar words, is very likely to mispronounce small words. As has been said, this is a great deal more damning than the failure to be correct in large words. For it is from the purity of our accent in using words beard every day that a person's early breeding and environment must be inferred. For this reason, do not neglect to investigate your treatment of ordinary words. Observe the stage pronunciation of usual small words, notice the speech of the most cultured persons with whom you talk, and you will find how many seemingly unimportant words you have mispronounced. MAN NOT A NATURAL SWIMMER. Ability to Keep Afloat Acquired Only by Skill and Exertion. Man is not amphibious by nature. Natation is acquired only by skill and muscular exertion. The lower animals have much the advantage over us in this respect. In the first place, the brute creation have no fear of water, and in the second their heads are exceedingly light in comparison with the rest of their bodies. The mammalian caput contains little brains and abounds in sinuses, so that its relative weight is so inconsiderable that an animal can easily keep its mouth and nose above the surface and respire freely. In man, on the contrary, the head, which is full of brains and contains no cavities, is exceedingly heavy in proportion to the rest of the body, and the great difficulty he experiences in swimming is to counteract this specific gravity and keep the organs of respiration above water. To attain this is the perfection of swimming; and when it has been attained man, though possessed of natural disadvantages, is superior to all animals except fish in the natant art. Insidious Heritage of Young America. In a trolley the other day was a little boy of six or so who was not content to sit quietly by his mother, but insisted upon kneeling upon the seat and looking out of the window at the moving street and people. His mother labored with him, trying to make him understand that she thought it better for him to sit down beside her and watch the prosalic people in the car. But he was determined, and stayed where he was. Another argument apparently occurred to the mother and she whispered something to him, something inaudible to the other passengers. The child's voice was then heard, incisive and penetrating: "But why can't I look out of the window?" His mother remained silent, possibly searching for a reason that should be convincing, and before she found it, the boy spoke again, this time with THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. a hint or doubt and perplexity in his voice: "Does it cost more to kneel up and look out of the window?" Into Temptation. ar, and did you get ed at the auction hadn't any stoves, refrigerator real Knowledge Absorbed Must Prove an Equipment to the Mind. A man may be ignorant in nine languages; he may have conned the accumulated knowledge of the world and yet be uneducated; he may read the works of the wise men of the world and yet learn little wisdom; he may garner a huge collection of facts and yet avail himself of none of them. Education does not consist of knowledge, nor of learning mere facts, nor even of the exercise of the reason in connection with the facts and the knowledge. Roger Ascham hinted at the right education when he said of the unprofitable exercises of the schoolmen of the middle ages that "they were always learning and little profiting; their whole knowledge was tied only to their tongue and lips, and never ascended to the brain and head." That education is alone the real education which "gets into the system," becomes an instrument in the hand, an equipment to the mind, a part of the nature, an addition to human powers, a development of the body and of the moral nature, the cultivation of the soul or the man spiritual. A QUEER FORM OF AMUSEMENT. One Woman Finds Entertainment in Visit to Physician. The woman with the purple geraniums on her hat was talking to her companion on the car. "I went to the doctor this afternoon," she said, "and yet there isn't a thing wrong with me, and I know it. But honestly—say, you'll never repeat this, will you—my doctor always has an office full of people ahead of me when I get there, and he never closes the transom between his consulting room and the waiting room. I just entertain myself by sitting there and listening to the silly complaints people have. You never heard anything so amusing as the different things people tell the doctor. Most of the patients get all excited about their allments and talk so loud that you can hear everything they say out in the next room. You bet when I go in I don't talk so loud, because I know how foolish it sounds."

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 GLACIER NATIONAL PARK. Region in Northern Montana That Is Continent's Great Watershed. The melting rills from the enormous ice masses of what will soon be known as Glacier National Park help to feed all three of the oceans that wash the shores of North America, says a writer in the World's Work. It is possible to alunch three ships from points within gunshot of each other in the park, which, with propitious currents, will eventually float, one into the Gulf of Mexico, the second into the Pacific and the third into Hudson bay. Here, amid the almost unexplored fastnesses of northern Montana, is where the waters of the continent divide—north by the Little Belly river and the Saskatchewan to the Arctic ocean; eastward, the Marias and Milk rivers take the waters of innumerable lakes into the Missouri and Mississippi, and westward glacier floods are poured into the Flathead, which, through Clark's Ford, finds its way to the Columbia and the Pacific. Glacier Park is the continent's great watershed. Where the Shoe Pinched. It was easy for Mr. Randall to bear with his wife's remarkable decision of character at all times, but her obstinacy he found most difficult to endure. "I can't quite comprehend her," he confided to his brother after one trying experience. "Many years as we have been married, she still surprises me. Why, all in the same day, sometimes in the same hour, she will settle a disturbance in the kitchen, put the children just where they belong, adjust some matter in the church, and then, when her judgment ought to be at its best, display the most astounding obstinacy in attempting to regulate my going out or comings in. It's—it's incomprehensible." — Youth's Companion. A State of Mind. A porter in a big New York warehouse was recently discharged for getting drunk and losing a valuable parcel. The discharge sobered him instantly, coming as a sudden hard shock. He said he would take the oath never to touch liquor again, but his pleadings for reinstatement were unheeded. He searched everywhere for the parcel, but could not recollect what disposition he had made of it. Of his honesty there had never been a question in 20 years. Overcome by the loss of his place, he got violently drunk, and while in this condition recollected where he had left the parcel and went and recovered it. Alms from a Tomb A remarkable custom which has been uninterruptedly in force for 300 years has just been observed at Ideford, a secluded parish a few miles from Chudleigh, Eng. It is that of picking up alms from the donor's tomb in the churchyard. The rector and church warden stand at one end of the tomb, upon the flat top of which they place coins. The recipients of the charity come up one by one to the other end of the tomb and pick up the money. Busy All the Time. "Old Minefloater is busy all the time, isn't he?" "Oh, I don't know." "Yes, he is. He spends all day watering the stock and when he comes home at night he has to get out the hose and water the lawn." THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO MATTHEWARNOLDATPRINCETON Dr. McCosh Was Determined to Impress Visitor Favorably. When Matthew Arnold visited Princeton, on his lecturing tour, President McCosh particularly desired to have him attend morning chapel and see how an under-graduate's day began. Accordingly, he haled Mr. Arnold to chapel the next morning. Unfortunately, however, he had not considered what member of the faculty was scheduled to preside at the exercises, and, as it happened, the officiating professor that morning was the very last one likely to make a pleasing impression on a critical visitor. Dr. McCosh, as usual, rose to the occasion. Thrusting Mr. Arnold into a pew with the remark: "Ye'll sit there!" he strode down the aisle and up to the pulpit where the professor was nervously waiting. Then in a reverberating stage whisper heard all over the chapel the good doctor said, with unmistakable emphasis: "We have Mr. Arnold here this morning! Ye'll pick a lively hymn—and pray short!" And he strode back, totally unconscious of the discomfiture of his colleague and the glee of the undergraduates. Mr. Arnold's face was expressionless. IF YOU AGREE WITH WEBSTER. It Is Hard to Have Belief in Either Phrenology or Palmistry. Phrenology, according to Webster, is "a system that teaches that the faculties of the mind are manifested through special organs, or through special portions of the brain, equal in number to the mental faculties, and that temperament modifies the strength and activity of mind and body; the doctrine that the mental characteristics and powers of the mind are indicated by developments of the brain upward, forward and backward of the medulla oblongata which are measured by cranial diameters and distances from the opening of the ear. The popular idea of supposed significance of cranial protuberances or 'bumps' is an error because the hollows on the inside of the skull do not correspond to the elevations on the outside." The same authority defines palmistry as being "the pretended art of reading one's character or divining one's future by the marks on the palm of the hand." As We Give. If we go through life with a cold, selfish mental attitude, caring only for our own, always looking for the main chance, only thinking of our own comforts, totally indifferent to others, this attitude will, after awhile, harden the feelings and marbleize the affections, and we shall become dry, pessimistic and uninteresting. Try to hold the kindly, good will attitude toward everybody. If your nature is hard you will be surprised to see how it will soften under the new influence. You will become more sympathetic, more charitable toward other's weaknesses and failings, and you will grow more magnanimous and wholesouled. The goodwill attitude will make us more lovable, interesting and helpful. Others will look upon us in the same way in which we regard them. The cold, crabbed, unsocial, selfish person finds the same qualities reflected from others. MURRAY AND EDWARDS, Props. THE PULLMAN POOL ROOM WILBUR MACFY.

The people of this city have some rights which even politicians are bound to respect. One of these rights is that of saying what disposition shall be made of the franchises. There are mutual advantages involved in franchises and it is possible for the people and the water company, for instance, to come to an agreement upon some equitable basis. What the people have a right to complain of and what politicians must not do, is to attempt to tie the city's hands by the election of corporation representatives to places that give them the right to speak for the people. The contention that has been going on in the Republican party has been strictly a fight to save the party from becoming a purveyor of public franchises to privileged corporations. So now in the candidates which the Republican party offers for the very important offices of sheriff and district attorney, The Statesman feels free to pledge to the public that these men will not be stool pigeons for the water company in the coming franchise fight but will be the people's representatives to do their will whatever it may be. No franchises will be stolen through collusion of these two officials if Republicans win, for Sheriff Nisbet is a man above the whip of corporation franchise stealers, and Willis V. Elliott is a lawyer whose future is too valuable to him, and whose past is too straight to turn election crook. If the water company comes to the people of Denver with a good proposition, by all means let us give it fair consideration. Its past has been bad, very bad. It has up to within a few years ago regularly mulcted the printing offices or semi-annual tribute for service not rendered at all. This class of thievery has cost this paper alone $100, but even considering that fact, the future is the basis of consideration of a further franchise grant, not the past. But at the same time we do not want to see the city's hands tied by the election of water company tools to offices which are responsible for fair franchise elections. William Jennings Bryan declares that Governor Hughes of New York is guilty of collusion with criminal trusts because he voted for the bill passed by his state legislature fixing the maximum passenger rate at two cents per mile. Billy goes onto ask whether this veto was not due to campaign contributions and undue influence. For shame! The pres. oency is a high office, but it is not worth this disreputable piece of political gossip. Governor Hughes set forth clearly at the time of his veto that --- PAGE.8. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. MS. ths .....$1.00 Three months ...$ .50 Colorado, as second class mailmatter. at the top of your ballot LICAN" the legislature of his state had in no way investigated the cost of railway passenger service and could not say whether two cents per mile was a proper rate. The country, Republican and Democratic, rich and poor, except the demagogue, applauded this act and said "wise judge." Now for Bryan to attempt to make capital out of a worthy action through inuendo, brands him for just what he is, a chronic candidate, who will do anything to win. Queer, isn't it, that if he will stoop so in such a matter as this, he has thought so little or his chances with colored people as not to throw even one crumb of comfort at them. THE APPEAL TO RACE PREJUDICE. The Denver Post following the class of journalism which it seems to have a monopoly on, has stooped to inject race prejudice into the campaign. Its attacks upon Senator Guggenheim are clothed in a thin mask of attacking the smelter trust, but it is clearly an appeal to prejudice against him because of his Jewish extraction. This is no new thing for the Post, for the memory of unjust attacks and ridicule upon us because we are colored, still clings to the mind, but for the sake of common decency, we hope no one will be led by such un-American journalism. Maybe Colorado is cursed by a smelter trust, but if so, it has been for more than the two months just past and the time is no more opportunity now to make such attack than it has been. The well known friendliness of Jews for members of our race, make it likely that so far from losing the Republican ticket votes, the Post is making them by its campaign methods. BUMPING THE DUMPS The latest version of "The Disowned," or "The Tribulations of a Modern Jonah," is on the boards just now. After flitting from one political camp to another, sipping al the honey he could, Rev. D. D. Cole, the pastor of the People's Presbyterian church, has been read out of the Democratic party, and all fellowship refused him in the Bryan-Kern Western Negro Headquarters, and in the Negro Anti-Taft Movement. It was a sad blow to the hopes of the preacher-politician, for only last spring he was read out of the Republican party for his avowed intention to "get his." For some time it has been evident to the Anti-Taft leaders that something was wrong. Instead of the public accepting their protestations that they were long suffering martyrs for Why help pay big rent? We save you 20 per cent on uptown prices CLEMENTS TAILOR 1523 16TH ST.

WARD LAUNCHES YEAR'S WORK AND PREACHES POWERFUL SERMON—DR. VERNON PRESENT. "Having a Mind To Work, or Rebuilding the Walls," was the theme of Rev. Ward's sermon Sunday and a very attentive and highly intelligent audience was there to appreciate it. Taking his text from Nehemiah 4-6 and showing that the truths in the old Book was not yet obsolete, but if studied by both pastor and people would prove a very profitable blessing. He showed how Nehemiah built up a dilapidated wall around Jerusalem. At all time he had the hearty co-operation of his people. How well he showed the people had a purpose, or a mind to work and not only felt that it was necessary for the walls to be built, but that the people ought to do it. Above all others stood out so prominent this principle that each individual was willing to repair the walls next to him, contrasting against the complainers and fault-finders, if there were any with the dutiful and diligent doing in his sphere his lot of work of rebuilding. So it was with the spiritual rebuilding. It was here he showed how homes, families and communities could be and had been helped by the spiritual building up by the thoughtful individuals. It was a little drop of water and a little grain of sand that made a mighty ocean in a desert land. In repairing the places in our own sphere where we live, morally, financially, fraternally and spiritually, no one of us could justly complain about the class meetings and prayer meetings, official and trustee board meeting, not being what they ought to be for their mind would be purposed to work. Neither the officers nor the pastor would then be criticized, because their important mission was the building up of Christ's kingdom. A great hush struck the audience as they sat and heard him say, "That in the last few days he had been impressed more and more with the dilapidated condition of God's church in Denver; that the most frivolous excuses were being given, why so many were siting idly by with folded hands either because the ministers don't suit or the officers were not the proper officials. The number is surprising! Woe to them who sit at ease in Zion! The desired change can only come about by a willing-minded and diligent-working people. He realized that God could have prospered his kingdom in some other way by the use of irades and angels, but His plan is to use human agency in bringing the world to Christ. The work is exceedingly varied as it is in the construction of a building. Just as trees must be cut down, stones quarried, material furnished to workmen, workmen mix and carry mortar and brick while others construct, plan and architect the building, just so in church life, the Sunday school, the League, class and prayer meetings must have the waste places repaired and their strength renewed. Church building comes not by or through fault-finding, and God prospered his church through the faithful few who attend and have their families attend the services. God uses some who were sailors, fishermen, evangelists, preach- THE STATESMAN, DENVER, ORADC. ers, teachers, apostles, deacons and all sorts of men to rebuild his holy temple. And making his impassioned appeal he said, may God help us to get and have such a mind and labor to build u pour beloved Zion. May you all be mindful of the slothful servant who his his talent; may we feel God's imperative command for us to work with Christ as our example who, at the close of His toil received the favorable commendation, 'Well done, thou good and faithful servant,' etc. 'It is finished.' with God's approval, which is all of perfectness and real joy." THE EUREKA LITERARY HAS FINE PROGRAM. With every seat in the house taken and with members of the society standing up because of the crowded house is the sight that presented itself to the Eureka Literary Tuesday night. The special features of the program were the piano solo by Miss Rhoda Anderson; the original poems, by Mr. C. D. Clem, Colorado's prospective poet, and the critic report of Miss Nichols, together with the issue of the "Bon Bon Muddy," which reflected great credit upon the peculiar genius of Mr. Wayman Ward as a journalist. The program for next Tuesday night will be read at the different churches Sunday. The Literary Society will have a debate about Nov. 17th, at which time a very interesting subject will be presented. COLORADO STUDENTS SHINING AT WESTERN UNIVERSITY. Miss Tinsie Lawson, a new arrival from Colorado, is taking music and making a very creditable showing along the stenographic line. The business department has so increased that an assistant has been furnished Prof. Albert Ross. Colorado is determined to make her mark this year. HON. GEORGE GROSS CAPTURES THE ALLIANCE. Owing to the failure of Mr. Turner to appear and read his paper before the Alliance, the session was late in opening. After transacting the routine business, Mr. C. D. Clem's poems were read and one or two volunteered with literary productions. Mr. Merrit Moore recited and received a hearty encore, but the main speaker of the day was the Hon. George W. Gross of Swink, the sugar beet town. He congratulated the members of the Alliance for their aims and what they had actually accomplished in the past and seriously inquired if we could not have made a more glorious success and great progress along all lines if we had just have been more dutiful, alert and energetic. He pointed out the weaknesses of city and slum life; he eloquently showed his various researches along the lines of social science; he urgently appealed for the cooperation of the whole society to lift up the waifs, and uncared for, the neglected men and women, the hopeless and the unreached of Denver that they might, along with you, breathe W.

O, I pray that this Alliance get busy into organized departments and begin this settlement work among us for the benefit of all races." He proved every contention in a nurid style with examples furnished by his contact and experience and held the audience actually spellbound for 45 minutes.

After having engaged in business in this city over a number of years, being recently interested in the Five Points Social Club and the Needmore Club on Larimer street, John B. Moore is retiring from their ownership, having disposed of his holdings in the first to Chas. Cox and in the last to Caleb Allen. Both of these gentlemen have been employed in catering to the wants of the public before and have the special equipment for successfully continuing the business. Mr. Moore is one of the men whose name is known and whose personality is liked from the Missouri river to the coast and Denver nates to see him go. He has not decided whether he will undertake any new line of endeavor just at present. Rev. W. R. Hardy of Pueblo was in the city Wednesday.
