Too Dangerous to Trust Again SHAFROTH SEEKS NEGRO VOTES NOW READ HIS RECREANT RECORD Neither His Love of Justice nor His Oath of Office Influenced Shafroth When Congressman, to Represent His Constituency in the Case of a Negro Veterar. Too Dangerous to Trust Again When a man has been faithless in one office, we cannot believe in him for another. When a man as congressman shows himself so filled with color prejudice that he will seek to evade his sworn duty, it is not to be expected that he will show himself fair to all his constituents if elected governor. We wish to call attention to the record of John Shafroth in Congress when he represented the First district, and then ask our voters whether he commends himself to them as a fit man for governor. committee showing that the request was just, despite the regulation of the House that members must call up bills referring to persons from their own districts, he refused, and made clear the reason of his refusal: "ISAIAH, I DO NOT THINK IT RIGHT FOR ME TO CALL UP THAT BILL FOR YOU. YOU GET THE COLORED MEMBER TO CALL IT UP." THE IDEA OF A MAN SWORN TO REPRESENT HIS DISTRICT SCARING AT THE COLOR OF A CONSTITUENT, ONE WHO HAS FOUGHT FOR HIS COUNTRY, ONE WHOSI VERY PLEA FOR A CHANCE TO PROVE UP ON HIS HOMESTEAD SHOWED HIM TO BE A GOOD CITIZEN! The free air of Colorado should have put a better spirit in Shafroth, and may have, but the miasma of Southern Democratic prejudice was so permeating that he could not represent a colored constituent before the House and keep his standing with his associates on the minority side. At the request of Isaiah Mitchell, now a resident of Denver, Congressman Shafroth drew up and introduced into the House of Representatives a bill to grant him an extension of time in which to prove up on the homestead which he took up near Barr, Colorado. This extension was asked because Mr. Mitchell, who is a veteran of the civil war, suffered such injuries in the service of his country that he could not do the work of the average man and therefore could not comply with the government regulations in homesteading land. After the introduction of the bill, it was referred to the committee on lands in the regular order of business and approved. To become accepted by the House of Representatives it needed only calling up by the mover and being voted on. Mr. Mitchell, who went to Washington to look after his interests, implored Shafroth for three weeks to call up the bill, always being put off on the excuse that he had been busy, until finally he was cornered by the persistency of the veteran, and said: "Isaiah I do not think it right for me to call up that bill for you. You get the colored member to call it up," referring to Congressman Geo. White of North Carolina, then in the House of Representatives. We ask Mr. Shafroth, who is now campaigning and asking the suffrage of all kinds of citizens, colored as well as white, what reason there existed why he did not think it "right" to call up a bill of his own moving, and why he passed the business of one of his constituents over to a colored congressman simply because the constituent was colored? But for fear we have not yet convinced you that John Shafroth is a dangerous man to entrust with the governorship of this state, and one whose principles will not stand where we are concerned, we go on with the incident. Mr. Mitchell went to Congressman White, as directed by Shafroth, and he expressed supreme surprise that the Colorado representative had acted as he did, and said that he could not take up Mr. Mitchell's case because of House rules against the interference of one member in the business of another's district, and said it would require Mr. Shafroth's written permission before he could act. This written permission Mitchell vainly sought over several weeks, always being put off on excuses, until one day Congressman White told him that he had seen Shafroth. Think of it! When duty, when justice, when political expediency all called for action on behalf of a colored man, this man refuses to act, and then for fear he may be indirectly entangled, strives to evade giving authority to act to another, and finally does sneak out of writing this authority by giving it verbally. Neither the honorable service of Mr. Mitchell for his country, neither his infirmity, his citizenship in Colorado, nor the justice of his cause, could inuence John Shafroth while congressman to live up to his oath of office. Do Negroes want such a man for governor? Let your ballots talk! He was willing enough to draw up the bill, for it could not be known from the written word whether Mr. Mitchell was white or colored, but after his appearance before the committee, and his identity became known, Shafroth showed his Democratic principles, the wolf showed through the sheep's clothing, and despite the approval of the --- --- TWENTIETH YEAR FIVE CENTS A COPY COPYRIGHT 1892 BY J.C.

What Becomes of the Golf Balls? In the afternoons when the dishes are washed up Ciss goes and sits down by the golf links. There's a place where many of the gentlemen send their balls over. Ciss takes a basket of apples with her and when a ball comes near her she puts it in her basket under the apples. Then when the gentlemen come and look for it they can't find it and they think it must have gone down stream. Ciss sells the balls to her young man that lives in the village. He gives her twopence apiece for them and he sells them himself to the makers for sixpence.—Grand Magazine The population of London, 6,549,000, standing shoulder to shoulder, would form a human wall 1,800 miles long; or put on an area of 0.7 square mile or on a square having sides of 0.84 of a mile. London's Population. All Is Vanity. Vanity is so anchored in the heart of man that a soldier, a camp-follower, a cook, a porter, makes his boasts and is for having his admirers; even philosophers wish for them. Those who write against it, yet desire the glory of having written well; those who read, desire the glory of having read; I who write this way have this desire, and perhaps those who will read it.—Pascal. When Talleyrand Scored. When Mme. de Stael published her celebrated novel, "Delphine," she was supposed to have painted herself in the person of the heroine, and M. Talleyrand in that of an elderly lady, who is one of the principal characters. "They tell me," said he, the first time he met her, "that we are both of us in your novel, in the disguise of women." Prosperity and Adversity. If we do not suffer ourselves to be transported by prosperity, neither shall we be reduced by adversity.

Agreed with the Lecturer. During a lecture at one of the leading colleges on the subject of "Ventilation and Architecture," the temperature of the room rose to a very high pitch. "And now we will turn to Greece," said the lecturer. "So we will," said one of the audience, wiping his brow, "unless you open some of the windows." Mirror Starts a Fire.

"Grasse, clinging to its Alp, high above the Mediterranean, is supposed to give the stranger a headache on account of its perfume at this season," said a perfumer. "Grasse makes the world's perfumes. You see mountains of flowers there, as, in a milling country, you see mountains of wheat. The odor is powerful, but as far as headaches—no! "But in the Casplan district there is a lake so strongly perfumed that if the stranger boats on it or swims in it he really gets a headache. This lake's banks are of white salt crystals, its waters are mauve in color, and from it an odor of violets is exhaled. 'It is Lake Mankishlak. I visited it to see if I couldn't bottle it up and put it on the perfume market. No go." "You see, it is the presence of the seaweed Polydcystia violacea that gives the lake its hue and smell. When you bottle the waters the seaweed atoms, after a few days, die and rot. Then the odor changes from violet to—pah! "But if you are ever in the Caspian, visit the Mankishlak peninsula and take a look at the lake. It is in its way as curious as the asphalt lakes of South America." HORSE'S HOOF LIKE TOE NAIL. Grows on Average Third of an Inch Every Month. Few persons realize that a horse's hoof is really the same thing as the toe nails of human beings or of animals having toes. The horn of a hoof grows just as a toe nail does. The hoof grows more rapidly in unshod horses than in those wearing shoes. And it grows faster in horses which are well groomed and well fed. But on the average the horn grows about a third of an inch a month. Hind hoofs grow faster than fore hoofs. The toe of the hoof being the longest part, it takes longer for the horn to grow down there than at the heel. For instance, the toe will grow entirely down in from 11 to 13 months, while the heel will grow down in from three to five months. As the new horn grows out any cracks or defects in the old gradually work down to where they can be cut off, just as with human finger nails, you can watch the progress of a cruise from the roof to the tip. 一 Sold at "Candle Auction." "Candle auction" is an ancient custom which still survives in Somersetshire, Eng. A valuable piece of meadow land in the village of Tatworth was sold recently by auction while the candle burned. The ceremony consists of the burning of an inch of candle, the last bidder before the candle's final flicker becoming the tenant for the ensuing year. Previous to the auction freeholders assembled for a supper of bread and cheese, beer and pickled herrings, the funds for this being provided from the "colting" of the new tenant. Fines are also imposed for speaking, nose blowing, laughing out loud and moving, other than bidding, while the candle is burning LADIES' TAILORING. Fashionable dressmaking, design ing. Mrs. I. M. McGuire, 2516 Curtis street. WORLD'S OLDEST CHURCH ORGAN On Island of Gothland and in Excellent Preservation. In the Baltic sea, 40 miles from the mainland, lies the Swedish island, Gothland, a Mecca for students of early gothic architecture. In Wisby alone, the chief town of the island, with its population of 8,000 souls, may be studied what remains of no less than ten churches, some of which date from the eleventh and twelfth centuries. The oldest of them is the Church of the Holy Ghost, completed about 1046. Prof. Hennerberg, director in a German music school and especially interested in the study of medieval organs, visited 59 churches in Gothland, and in a little village called Sundre came upon the remnant of what is unquestionably the oldest known organ in existence. The case alone has survived the fret of seven centuries, the holes for pedals and manuals are placed as in modern instruments, and inside one can see the chamber for the bellows and judge of their action; the exterior is adorned with paintings dating from about 1240. When this ancient instrument could no longer serve its original purpose it was used as a sacristy, and for the safeguard of holy vessels and vestments was kept in careful repair, hence its excellent preservation to our day.—Youths' Companion. PROSAiC ORIGIN OF THE HALO. Said to Have Been Placed Over Statues of Saints to Preserve Them. The origin of the halo dates back to the eleventh and twelfth centuries. Those years were rich in the building of churches and cathedrals. There were erected around the outside of the sacred edifices statues of the saints, placed under the eaves. In time the caretakers of the buildings perceived that the discoloration from the rains falling from the roofs disfigured the images. Accordingly they placed over the tops of them flat wooden disks of sufficient size to protect the statues. Glotto began to paint pictures when a boy, and his ignorance assumed the protecting disks as an essential part of the saint. His earliest pictures represent each sacred figure topped off with what looks much like the bottom of a barrel. He idealized this into a circle, dark at first, but growing more luminous with each successful production of his artistic fancy, until he developed the circle of light that has come down unchanged through generations of painters as a badge of sanctity. Art on the Safe Door. "I wonder if anyone can tell me why it is customary to paint on the front door of a safe some sort of rural scene?" he asked, as he left the business office. "Almost all safes have a lake with a couple of trees in the background, or else a field with a stake and rider fence emblazoned on the door. "Perhaps it is to give the idea that peace and quiet of the country type are to be found within the safe. There may be some idea of soothing the mind of the beholder doubly. Just where the custom started I do not know and what the significance is also is unknown to me." THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO Put Blame In Right Place. Bachelors are fond of talking about the extravagance of women and giving that as the excuse for their not marrying while they know in their hearts that there are lots of women whom they might marry who are not extravagant, as regards clothes at least. But these women they look upon as dowdies, and don't want them for life partners, which goes to show that it is the extravagance of the bachelor that reacts and makes extravagant women.—Exchange. The Official Mind. The government requires 43,925 quarts of writing fluid (recent statistics) simply because when the government wants to tell a man—say, an examination candidate—to sit down at his desk, it says not "Pray be seated," but "The candidate (or candidates) is (or are) requested and commanded to take (or adopt) his (or her) seat (or seats) at the table (or tables) with his (or her) pen (or pens) in his (or her) hand (or hands)."—The London Daily Mirror. Whistling in English Streets. In England whistling is very common among all classes, and, indeed, it is rare in London to see a butcher or a grocer boy on his daily errands whose lips are not pursed up for the purpose of emitting the whistling notes of the comic song of the hour. So prevalent is the habit that in hotels, and even in clubs, requests are posted up to "refrain from whistling." Rooster as Scarecrow. Fred Small, on his farm in Swanville, Me., has a successful method of scaring crows from his cornfield, having a bantam rooster in a wire cage, with nest attached, and, as everybody knows, the cockerel is an early riser and starts crowing at once, which keeps the crows from interfering with the corn. New York's Hotel Population. New York city business men who are careful observers say that the hotel population of the city is the greatest money spender and that the average of that population is about 200,000, while in the time of great business activity it closely approaches 300,000.

To some persons it might convey the idea of a man whose work was so poor that it was likely to drop to pieces at any moment. Actually it is a Jamaican term, and was used a great deal in Kingston after the disaster there. It really means a man whose work is in wrecking, a man who takes apart the fallen houses and sorts out the timbers. Use for Electric Fan.

In the twenty-first verse of the seventh chapter of Ezra can be found every letter of the English alphabet. It runs thus: "And I, even I, Artaxerxes the king, do make a decree to all the treasurers which are beyond the river, that whatsoever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of God of Heaven, shall require of you, it be done speedily." But, still more wonderful, in the eighth verse of the third chapter of Zephaniah is contained every letter, including finals of the Hebrew language. How a Cat Caught Two Rats. I once had a cat who did a rather remarkable ratting feat. He stalked two young rats on the eaves of a low flat stable roof, and caught one in the usual way. The other jumped on to an elderberry tree just below. Bob, however, not satisfied with the one, grasped it firmly in his mouth, and then jumped headlong for the other. Either he was very lucky or extraordinarily agile, for he fell to the ground with one rat still in his mouth and the other in his paws, and promptly killed them both.—Scotsman. Crowded Out. "I put myself into my playing," remarked the ardent musician. "That," replied Miss Cayenne, "may explain why it is sometimes difficult to recognize the composer." Cupid's Hearty Appetite.

Last Thursday night the Azalia Hackley Choral Society, all beautifully costumed in the ancient regal costumes, marked a new musical epoch among the Denver music lovers. Never has a better selection of performers appeared at any time nor place than those appearing on that auspicious night. Not a single mistake was made, not a single hitch in the program any congregation would gladly welcomed the presentation. The mere mention of Belshazzar, the wonderful musical and sacred production, was certainly enough to attract a crowded house. It being so replete in poetry, power and scriptural meaning. The stage settings for each act, the performers, and the difficult portrayal of the different attitudes, feelings, pathetic and joyous cannot be justly criticised in amateur musical performers. The earnestness and enthusiasm of each individual member was so marked that the audience seemed to catch the sparks, the proof of which was evinced by their hearty applause. The audience being of the highest musical and intellectual standard, quickly grasped the sacred interpretations and easily assisted the ambitious actors by their hearty and timely applause, showing not only their understanding but appreciation of the actors' efforts. The most affected and pathetic parts were the imprisonment of Zerubabel, and his wife's parting for her last time in the prison cell together with the wounding of Belshazzar, while in the heights of frivolity. The Denver Choral body brought out that vivid lesson of not forgetting God in the days of prosperity. The most skeptical even assented silently to this sacred warning. Great judgment, rare skill and an unimaginable amount of energy and work brought forth that great selection so creditable, not only to Denver, but to the entire west. Mme. Hackley would have been delighted to be present and see her nurslings of music performed. Mrs. Faulkner, the pianist, the best in the whole state, played the music, and in saying that, the highest compliment that words can express correctly interprets our feeling. Mrs. Dishman and Mr. Waller, in their untiring, faithful and skilled instructions along the dramatic and musical lines, have only to point to the high standard to which the club has risen. This question can be squarely put if thirty fine voices can work such marvels, what can a greater number do, when the community stands behind their efforts to develop their abilities and entertain and enlighten by word, song and deed, their capabilities. We only bid that glorious grand body to go on and personally congratulate each individual for belonging. Montgomery, Stone & Wilson with the All Star Minstrels.

The election of Judge Taft and Mr. Sherman is practically assured. The remarkable, almost sudden change of sentiment against Bryan and in favor of Judge Taft is almost unparalleled in the political history of this country. Judge Taft's personality and his frank and manly defense of his position while on the bench and the ease with which he has exposed the fallacies of Mr. Bryan has won for nim thousands of votes. This transformation in sentiment of the American people from Bryan to Taft is not alone a tribute to this great and good man but is a display of the discriminating judgment on the part of the masses of the American people that speaks volumes for the political intelligence of the people. This is the third time that Mr. Bryan has tried to deceive the people into electing him president of the United States by visionary policies, impracticable economic principles in such a way as to put public policies and the arguments by which he seeks to maintain them show him to be just the opposite of that great Kentucky statesman who declared that he would rather be right than president. The campaign is fast drawing to a close and Mr. Bryan is still maintaining his reputation for magnificent silence on all matters pertaining to the Negro vote. It is safe, therefore, for the Negro to conclude that Mr. Bryan stands by his declaration in favor of disfranchisement and Jim Crow cars. Walters! Ransom! Waldron!

Tast for the base deception you are practicing on your people. As an evidence of the fact that in case of Bryan's election his chief advisers would be men who are the most bitter enemies of the Negro race, we have but to call attention to the fact that Mr. Bryan has called on Hoke Smith and Ben Tillman to go into the state of Ohio and help to swing the vote, including the Negro vote, to the Democratic party "The white man in the South has disfranchised the Negro in self-protection. * * * The white men of the THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORAD South are determined that the Negro will and shall be disfranchised everywhere it is necessary to prevent the recurrence of the horrors of carpetbag rule."—Wm. Jennings Bryan, in his New York speech, 1908. "I favor, and if elected will urge with all my power, the elimination of the Negro from politics."—Hoke Smith. "We stuffed ballot boxes. We shot Niggers. * * * We are not ashamed of it."--Senator Ben Tillman, in the United States Senate. Some of our would-be leaders have been endeavoring to encourage the Negro to commit the same wrong of which he himself has too frequently been the victim. They have insisted that the race should condemn President Roosevelt beyond pardon, for the one act in his whole public career which they consider a mistake and an injustice to the Negro soldiers. His manly stand in defense of the race on countless other occasions; his broad and liberal utterances in our behalf in public speeches and in executive messages are to count for naught by the side of this one—atmost—mistake of judgment. This is not fair and the Negroes of this country do not and will not stand for it. The Negro voters on the 3rd day of November will let President Roosevelt know; they will let Judge Taft know; they will let the Republican party know that their cup of gratitude is not empty and that their sense of justice and fair-play is as keen today as when during the days of the Rebellion; they were too noble or heart to injure defenseless women and children or to destroy unprotected property, but stood as faithful sentinels and watchful guardians until the Republican party declared slav- TRIENT. 1904 BY HARRIS & EWING Hon.

The supreme deity in the Greek and Roman religions, Zeus or Jupiter, was supposed to be the manipulator of the lightning, and the person struck down by one of the fiery bolts was especially distinguished, inasmuch as he had been felled directly by the king of the gods. The dignity of the killer was reflected upon the killed. In addition to this, the opinion was quite universal that the bodies of those struck by lightning were incorruptible.—New York American.

"Instances of desertion from the army in Mexico are very rare and for the best of reasons," said Senor Jose de Minaldez of Nueva Leon. "The reason lies in the almost sure capture of the fugitive and the certainty that he will get not one but numerous floggings on his bare back. These lashings are done in the presence of the comrades of the deserter, and when the men see how great is the suffering of the miserable wretch who tried in vain to quit his military obligations, they are forced to conclude that it is better to stick to the army than to undergo such a terrible ordeal." Brothers Good Match Makers. It is a strange thing that mothers are looked on as match makers, while girls' brothers never are. Yet the fact remains that many a girl has her brother to thank if she happens to get married, and not her mother at all. Many a woman who is happily married to-day has her brother to thank for it—had he not brought a particular man about the home, why, his sister might have remained unwed all her days; but very few women give so much as a thought to that.—Woman's Life.

To the Colored People of the South: This is the third time that I have had the privilege of speaking to you in this way upon what I consider the most vital subject, outside of religion, that concerns our race. Action upon it cannot be delayed or omitted without the most serious consequences to this and succeeding generations. I refer to the education of our colored children in the country districts where from 80 to 85 per cent of our people live. In a recent trip through the state of Maryland I was surprised to find, for example, that there were rural communities almost within the sight of the dome of the Capitol of the Nation where the public schools for our race are only open from two to two and one-halt months during the year. Taking the Southern States as a whole, it is safe to say that the country schools are not in session at present longer than four or five months out of the twelve. When we add to this condition, in most cases, poor schoolhouses or no schoolhouses, little apparatus and porly paid teachers, it is clear that this is a condition demanding the immediate and constant attention of parents, ministers, teachers and leaders of every description. The facilities for public school education in the cities and larger towns are good for the most part, but I know of counties where Negro teachers are paid not more than $15 per month, and out of this they must board themselves. This means practically no school, for a teacher worth more cannot live on such a wage. In order to impress our people with the truth of how far we are behind and with what remains to be done, let me make a comparison: Two years ago each child in the state of Massachusetts had spent upon him as per school population, in the free public schools $26.42, while taking the South as a whole for the same year each Negro child had spent upon his as per school population from 50 cents to $1.50 in the different Southern States. At such rate does any one believe that we can educate our children? Ignorance will grow denser, and crime, lawlessness and inefficiency will increase. Something must be done and that speedily. What is the remedy? Let parents and leaders get into close and sympathetic touch with the local and county and state officials and make known the condition and the needs of the children. If one effort does not succeed, make another and another. You, yourselves, must make your wants known, no one can or will do it for you. We must in a firm, conservative and yet polite manner insist upon our proper share of the public school funds. Parents must bear in mind that if they get all the public school fund that is justly due their children, this alone will not provide for the education of their children. Even the white children in the South are not receiving enough money to properly educate them from the public fund. In some way each community must organize effort to tax itself and keep taxing itself until each community has a good schoolhouse and a school term lasting from six to eight months in each year, taughtby qualified teachers. I speak now to ourpeople on this subject that they may begin organizing and that they may raise money this fall while our people have it. Now is the time to act. Do not delay another day. This is the season of the year when our people are handling considerable cash as a result of the sale of their crops. This is also the season of the year when THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. they are tempted to throw away thousands of dollars in unwise directions. I urge you to use some of the money this fall that you would throw away in providing for the proper education of your children. We must, as a race, learn to make sacrifices. It is better that we go without proper clothing, that we go hungry, live on bread and water even if necessary, rather than neglect the education of our children. Let each person, teacher or minister, who reads these words, begin at once and stir the people to action in his immediate count. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. Tuskegee Institute, Ala., October 1, 1908.

A hearty laugh had gone almost around over the story of the fisherman who, to locate the place on the lake where he had had good luck, cut a nick in the side of his boat. "Almost around," for the Englishman sat solemn and silent. About five minutes later, however, he awoke with a roar of laughter, and when asked the trouble, replied: "Well, wouldn't it be a corking good joke if that fisherman got a different boat the next time he went out!" Wear Furs Continually. Throughout the cold latitudes of China during the winter the Chinese of all classes wear fur, wool or hairlined garments. Even the coolies have their sheep or goat skins, and people of the middle and official classes have many sets of garments lined with the richest furs. Their houses are rarely heated to a comfortable temperature, and in consequence they wear their furs both indoors and out. The hundredth anniversary of the death of Frau Rat, the mother of Goethe, was celebrated at Frankforton-the Main.

ROBERTS. Sr. Ruth 4 years ago my hair was only a finger-length, and my temples 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.

THE NEEDMORE We Grew Our Hair Now Let Us Grow Yours with "PORO" TRADE MARK (Registered) quired to face. The policies of the administration, together with tacit understanding on the part of the candidates of the respective parties had made it impossible for great corporations to contribute anything toward the campaign. This sentiment developed until it gradually included men connected with great trusts or corporations so that it is almost next to impossible to secure a large fund with which to conduct a great political campaign. But with remarkable business sagacity and power of initiative Mr. Hitchcock has conducted this campaign so intelligently and successfully that it will stand as a M. Chairman Frank H. Hitchcock model for all future campaigns. It has been purely a campaign of education and Mr. Hitchcock is to be congratulated that his plan of campaign has at last been demonstrated to be the wisest that could have been adopted. Next in importance in this great political contest comes the Hon. Chas. Nagel, National Committeeman from the state of Missouri. Mr. Nagel has had charge of the western headquarters and has acted in the capacity of vice-chairman n Mr. Hitchcock's absence. Mr. Nagel has given especial attention to the Negro end of the campaign and as an evidence of the fact that the colored voter has not been overlooked, we instance the appointing of Mr. Wal- P. Walter M. Farmer ter M. Farmer, member of the speakers' bureau, a position never heretofore given to a colored man. The Negro newspapers for the first time, in this section especially, have been THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. taken into account. We have employed on a regular salary, something over fifteen colored persons at the headquarters, not including speakers and other workers. Mr. Nagel is a broad-minded man and a true friend of the Negro. The fact, therefore, that he was given charge of this branch of the work clearly demonstrates that the management of the campaign was anxious to assure the Negro voter that his interests would be in the hands of those who are especially concerned as to his welfare. Senator Joseph M. Dixon is director of the 'Speakers' Bureau and as such has shown himself to be a man of excellent judgment and free from race prejudice. The colored men who have come in contact with him have nothing but words of praise for him. Mr. Walter M. Farmer, who was appointed a member of the Speakers' Bureau, is a personal friend of the Hon. Chas. Nagel and has been for the last twenty years. While a student in the law department of Washington University of St. Louis, Mo., he first met Mr. Nagel, who was then Professor of Corporations in that school. It might be added that Mr. Farmer was the only colored student in the school at the time, and is the only one who ever graduated from the law department of Washington University. Having been beside National Grand Secretary of the United Brothers of Friendship and because of his membership in various other secret organizations, together with Soldier Newton his reputation as a lawyer, gave him a national standing which peculiarly fitted him for the position he holds with the National Committee. The work under the present management has assumed, as it should, a national character both in scope and in operaqn nusuosu sjuo sjuo recognition in this appointment was given to no particular locality but was made upon the broader and more comprehensive basis. The work of Mr. Farmer's department has been conducted upon a national scale. Every large gathering of colored people held since last August has been visited by representative speakers sent from his department, and resolutions have been passed endorsing the Re- Continued on page ten Champa Street AND EDWARDS, Props.

Mrs Sunday the Alliance was a day of good thoughts, good deeds and a crowded house. An excellent program was rendered and thoroughly enjoyed. Owing to a special choral rehearsal Sunday afternoon at Shorter, the president, secretary and seargent-at-arms were compelled to be absent. Miss Troutman again measured up to her high standard of reading and the audience thoroughly appreciate it by their hearty applause. The visiting pastor of Zion Baptist church gave some very good remarks and wise suggestions, which made a deep impression upon the crowded house. Lawyer Franklin H. Bryant announced himself as a nominee for the county judgeship on the Socialist ticket. Among the prominent people and events to appear before the Sunday Alliance next month is Lawyer John Hipp, Mesdames Turley and Hicks, in duet, and upon the 8th and 29th the Harris Orchestra. Sunday is business Sunday and many current topics of the day will be considered. The Alliance meets at 4 p. m., 1712 Curtis street. OFF TO WESTERN UNIVERSITY. Everybody recognizes that in this day and time, that students as well as their seniors, must be up to date; must use and take advantage of the present day opportunities in order that the individual must be kept equal in competition with all other races who are eagerly grasping a hold on everything and anything that will uplift. So, realizing that in the next ten years the struggle will be harder, more complex and intricate for every individual, the Missez Philetus and Eulalie Fitzpatrick left Wednesday afternoon for Western University to enter school. They will doubtless take millinery, business course and domestic science. The contact and rich influence and that "energizing racial training" that can look and present subjects fro mine Negroe's viewpoints will no doubt be a lifting power which these young ladies along with all the rest will reflect upon this community when they return. The "Colorado colony" of the University met the young ladies at the depot and welcomed them to school, which seemed like old Denver, because of the many Colorado students. EUREKA LITERARY. Last Tuesday night while the literary may have lacked the ginger that was forced into it a week ago, yet the program was good. The young men's quartette, who were too embarrassed as to let the public see them, did exceptionally fine. "Little Dope," by the Mysterious One, was quite as clever as it was original. There will be no literary next Tuesday night, it being election night. On November 17th the following question will be discussed: "Resolved, That all of those of African blood now in the United States should migrate to Libera, Africa, for a betterment of their condition." The program will be as follows: Vocal solo, Mrs. Genevieve Chapman; reading THE STATESMAN, DENVER. DR. DC. Scripture (in African tongue), Mrs. Branch and sons and Prof. Rank Holley and others will furnish the music, after which general discussion will follow.

Judging from what the Philadelphia Tribune said of Mrs. Hackley, national musical festival, she was smothered in garlands of honor and it was certain a rare and valuable opportunity for any person to participate. The paper was very profuse in its mention of our own baritone, Clarence C. Clark. Such a mention is none the less expressive of Mr. Clark's true musical ability. Benjamin F. Shaw was up from Colorado Springs in interest of his political conferes. Mr. Campbell spoke to the True Reformers Monday night and advised them how to vote. Chief Cash also took part in the political speaking. The All Star Minstrels, East Turner Hall, November 19, 1908. Messrs. Clem and Ross left friday for Pueblo and Leadville, to return Monday. Msr. Jamison, delegate to the W. C. T. U. from Ohio, made a talk to the B. Y. P. U. of Bethlehem church Sunday. Both because of the purpose it served and for the finish with watch it was carried out, the dinner party given last Saturday evening by Miss Anna Ward of Cleveland, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Bates, was of high order. Having been the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Bates for the summer, Miss Ward thought to give visible thanks for their hospitality by having the dinner in their honor, and to say that it was enjoyed is too mild. The other guests were Mr. and Mrs. Letcher, Rev. and Mrs. Reynolds, Mrs. Martha Curry, Mrs. Lottie Bibb, Messrs. Wilfred Bacque and S. Helms. The dinner was of fourteen courses, and from 8:30 to 11:30 amid the choicest strains of music, the feast fit for the gods delighted the palate. Every choice delicacy of the market was served amid surroundings that lent charm and luxury. Flowers and ferns were used profusely in the decorations. Holly and Gray were the musicians. Miss Ward has made the Cleveland style of entertaining one to be talked of, for in appointments her Saturday collation could not have been improved upon. Rev. W. C. Williams of the Missouri conference, has been sent to Campbell church in this city by Bishop Grant. The appointment is sure to be a popular one, for as one man who knows his well says, "If Williams does not set Campbell at the high water mark, it cannot be done." He brings with him a splendid record as pastor and preacher. He will be here in time for Sunday services.

Whereas, Death, always an unwelcome guest, comes ofttimes unheralded, leaving in its wake desolated homes and broken ties which can never be cemented, even by the most heroic efforts of those who are bereaved. One of our beloved members has fallen. He has answered the summons of the Great Arbiter of human fate; and while his untimely end has created an aching void in the hearts of those who knew and loved him, we recognize the wisdom of Him who doeth all things well in transplanting our beloved member and friend to that sacred land where eternal peace and happiness are the reward of those who are faithful. Gerald Allison's character stood out like the golden sun, brightening vivifying and vitalizing all with whom he came in contact. He left us a beautiful example in his unfailing love and devotion to his parents; therefore be it Resolved, That we, the officers and members of the Inter-Graduate Association, do extend our most sincere sympathy to the bereaved family; be it further Resolved. That a copy of this resolution be furnished to the mother and father; that a copy be placed in the minutes of the Inter-Graduate Association, also in the press. MISS VIRGIE WEBSTER Chairman. DR. J.
