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

WORLD'S OLDEST CHURCH ORGAN
On Island of Gothland and in Excel-
lent 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 cen-
turies. The oldest of them {s the
Church of the Holy Ghost, completed
about 1046.
Prof. Hennerberg, director in a Ger-
man music school and especially inter-
ested in the study of medieval organs,
visited 5% churches in Gothland, and
in a little village called Sundre came
upon the remnant of what is wnques-
tionably the oldest known organ in
existence. The case alone has sur-
vived 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 {t
Was used as a sacristy, and for the
safeguard of holy vessels and vest-
ments was kept in careful repair,
hence its excellent preservation to our
day.—Youths’ Companion.
PROSAiIC ORIGIN OF THE HALO.
Said to Have Been Placed Over Stat.
ues of Saints to Preserve Them.
The origin of the halo dates back
to the eleventh and twelfth centtries
‘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
he rains falling from the roofs dis
Ngured the images. Accordingly they
vaced over the tops of them flat wood-
on disks of sufficient size to protect
the statues, Glotto began to paint
pictures when a boy, and his igno-
rance assumed the protecting disks as
an essential part of the saint. His
earliest pletures represent each sacred
figure topped off with what looks much
like the bottom of a barrel. He {deal-
‘wed this into a circle, dark at first,
but growing more Juminous with each
successful production of his artistic
fancy, until he developed the circle
of ight that has come down un-
changed through generations of paint-
ers as a badge of sanctity.
Art on the Safe Door.
“T wonder {f 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 busi
ness 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 {t 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 df soothing
the mind of the beholder doubly. Just
where the custom started I do not
know and what the significance is
also {s unknown to me”
THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO.
fut Blame In Right Place.
Bachelors are fond of talking about
the extravagance of women and giving
that as the excuse for their not mar-
rying while they know in their hearts
that there are lots of women whom
they might marry who are not exiray-
agant, as regards clothes at least.
But these women they iook 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 exfravagant
women,—Exchange.
The Official Mind.
The government requires 43,925
quarts of writing fluid (recent sta-
tistics) simply because when the gov.
ernment 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) {s
(or are) requested and commanded tc
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.
Ta England whistling is very com
mon &mong all classes, and, indeed, it
is rare in London to see a butcher or
a grocer boy on his daily errands
whose lif are not pursed up for the
purpose of omitting the whistling
notes of the cemmc 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 Swan-
ville, Me. has a successful method of
scaring crows from his cornfield, hav
ing a bantam rooster in a wire cage,
with nest attached, and, as everybody
knows, the cockere! is an early riser
and starts crowing at once, which
keeps the crows from interfering with
the corn.
New York's Hotel Ponulation.
New York city business men whe
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

Earthquake Carpenters.
The term "earthquake carpenter" at first glance might give the impression of a person capable of doing a job in fast time, regularly shaking the work together. 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.
The electric fan is now employed in many modern homes for drying the dishes. The dishes are washed and placed on wire racks and rinsed with hot water. The fan is placed to throw a strong breeze on them and they are quickly dried. The fan can also be used to dry lace curtains which have been placed on stretchers.
Extinct Stars Still Visible.
It is a fact, startling as it may seem, that many of the stars we see twinkling in the sky at night, may have ceased to exist centuries ago. Some of these stars are so distant that even light takes hundreds or thousands of years to travel from them to us; and the rays which enable us to see them to-day may have left them thousands of years ago. We see them, not as they are to-day, but as they were long ages ago.

Perkins, the Scientific Scalp Specialist of Denver, Colo., who is astonishing the world with her wonderful art of groving hair.
My own hair is my best advertisement. With these treatments my hair grew 17 inches in two years. It had remained one length (four inches) for 15 years.

My treatment stops falling hair or breaking off, cures split ends, removes dandruff and scalp scurf, causes the hair to grow long, no matter how short; soft, no matter how harsh; thick, no matter how thin; straight from the bulbs, no matter how kinky. First treatment will show wonderful improvement. Do not wait if you are

BELSHAZZAR GORGEOUSLY PRESENTED.
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.

No Honest Work Disgraceful.
After all, no necessary employment is commonplace and no honest work can be disgraceful. The cobbler is as good as the king in his own place. Boots and shoes are as necessary as statesmanship. If you are a farmer, learn the rotation of your crops and the nature of your soil so that you may obtain the greatest results from your labors. No matter what the work is, do it in the spirit of an artist.
Keeping Up Population.
Mother of 23 living children, accompanied by 11 of them and five grandchildren, has just arrived from the Isle of Wight to spend the rest of her days with her husband and most of her other children in the United States. Let a few more such immigrants come to our shores and race suicide will cease to be a matter of concern to us. New York Herald.
Learning and Works.
He who has more learning than good works is like a tree with many branches but few roots, which the first wind throws on its face, while he whose works are greater than his knowledge is like a tree with many roots and fewer branches, but which all the winds of heaven cannot uproot.—Talmud.

All Wool Pants to Measure...
The election of Judge Taft ana 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 cvun-
try. Judge Taft’s personality and his
frank and manly defense of his posi-
tion while on the bench and the ease
with which he has exposed the fal-
lacies of Mr. Bryan has won for nim
thousands of votes. This transforma-
tion 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 discriminaung
judgment on the part of the masses of'
the American people that speaks vol-
umes 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 poli-
cies, impracticable economic princi-
Jod sjH{ ‘s}UeUINSIB aAlsnjep puv sald
licies 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 maintain-
ing his reputation for magnificent sil-
ence 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! Stand
up and tell the Negro voters wnat
message of hope and consolation you
bring them from Bryan, Ben Tillman,
Hoke Smith, or the’ Democratic party.
If you have none, then as ministers
of the Gospel, go wrap yourselves in

for the base deception you are prac-
ticing on your people,
As an evidence of the fact that in
case of Bryan’s election his chief ad-
visers 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-pro-
tection. * * * The white men of the
South are determined that the Negre
will and shall be disfranchised every-
where it is necessary to prevent the
recurrence of the horrors of carpet-
bag 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 Presi-
dent Roosevelt beyond pardon, for the
one act in his whole public career
which they consider a mistakc 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
im public speeches and in executive
messages are to count for naught by
the side of this one—atmost—mis-
take 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 Roose-
velt know; they will let Judge Taft
know; they will let the Republican
party know that their cup of grati-
tude is not empty and that their sense
of justice and fair-play is as keen to-
day as when during the days of the
Rebellion; they were too noble ot
heart to injure defenseless women
and children or to destroy unprotect-
ed property, but stood as faithful sen-
tinels and watchful guardians until
the Republican party declared slav-

ery to be no more.
The indications are all in favor of
the election of Judge Taft and Mr.
Sherman and we are glad to say that
the Negro vote will be on the side
of victory to the extent of 99 per cent
of the normal vote.
We present in this edition the cuts
of the men who have conducted the
campaign which is now about to
close, in such a business-like and suc-
cessful manner. When the Hon.
Frank H. Hitchcock was selected by
the National Committee as chairman,

Death by Lightning.
The supreme deity in the Greek and Roman religions, Zeus or Jupiter, was supposed to be the manipulator of the lightning, and the person struck down by one of the fiery bolts was especially distinguished, inasmuch as he had been felled directly by the king of the gods. The dignity of the killer was reflected upon the killed. In addition to this, the opinion was quite universal that the bodies of those struck by lightning were incorruptible.—New York American.
A Sweet Nature Fake.
Failing to bite sugar from several lumps, some marked bees under observation by Gaston Bonnier, a French naturalist, flew away, returning in an hour or two with two other workers, after first visiting a fountain. Settling on the sugar, they were seen to pump water from their crops, when they sucked up the syrup so formed. Baltimore American.
Few Desertions from Mexican Army.
"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.
Face.
"Well," said the customer, as he paid the barber and moved toward the door, "I feel like congratulating myself on getting safely out of a mighty bad scrape."
By placing himself promptly on the outside of the barber shop he avoided getting himself into a mighty bad scrap.
Method.
"I love my love in the springtime," warbled the poet. "So?" "Yes, it's cheaper then. Oysters are out of season, flowers grow wild, and the theaters are running popular priced stock."—Kansas City Journal.

"Yes," remarked Hamlet Fatt, "I may say I have inherited the mantle of Kemble."

THE SWEET PEA LOYAL TEMPERANCE LEAGUE.
On last Saturday night when the Leaguers turned out in their parade the Sweet Pea L. T. L. was there, led by Mrs. Mary E. Wade, who always looks after the children. They had their flags and bells with a printed banner. They helped to swell the parade which was estimated at 800. In the summer of 1898 Mrs. Wade led in the first demonstration of Sunday schools with the A. M. E. school. There were over 2,000 children in line. She is very proud of the children. The rally cry of the Sweet Peas is: Ring the bells, ring the bells.
Here we come, here we come Up with flags, down with ruin.
Who are we? Don't you see?
Hear us, hear us tell,
We are the Sweet Pea L. T. L.
Mrs. Wade wishes to meet all the L. T. L. and as many as wish to join Saturday at her residence, 2227 Glen arm Place, from 3 to 5.

THE NEGRO AND THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF THE SOUTH.
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

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.

Scotch Superstition.
Under no circumstances on the northeast coast of Scotland will a fisherman at sea mention certain objects on land, such as "minister," "kirk," "swine," "dog," etc., and the line will surely be lost if a pig is seen while baiting it. As on the land chickens mus not be counted until they are hatched, so at sea fish must not be counted until they are all caught.
Births in New York's "Zoo."
New York city's Bronx Zoological garden has more additions to its collection of animals by birth than any other such garden in the world.
The fellow who tells the truth and only the truth all the time, won't be popular but he'll get a rain-check for heaven, all right.—Manchester Union.

Telling the Truth.
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.

Frau Rat's grave in Peter's cemetery was covered with flowers. Berliner Lokal-Anzeiger.

Savagery in Civilization.
It is no time to say that man cannot, in civilized society, be guilty of cannabilism. I tell you there are more cannibals in New York than in the isles of the Pacific; and if to-day you were suddenly to take away the support that comes from eating men, there would be thousands and thousands of empty maws to-morrow in that city.—Henry Ward Beecher.
A Relationship Puzzle.
Oxford (Eng.) provides the latest relationship puzzle. The father of a child recently born in the town married, for a second time, the sister of his daughter's husband. The youngster is, therefore, uncle to his cousins and to himself, brother-in-law to his mother, and cousin to his father's grandchildren.
It Was All Within.
A practical joker carried an onion in his vest pocket to the depot when bidding farewell to a young lady, and took a bite now and then to induce tears. Before the train departed he had eaten the entire onion. The young lady, perceiving the situation, remarked: "Ah, you have swallowed your grief!"—Harper's Weekly.
Hearty Old-Time Meal.
From Pepy's Diary: My wife had got ready a very fine dinner, viz: A dish of marrow bones, a leg of mutton, a loin of veal, a dish of fowl, three pullets and two dozen of larks all in a dish; a great tart, a neat's tongue, a dish of anchovies, a dish of prawns and cheese.
Politeness a Valuable Asset.
The more exalted a man is by station, the more powerful should he be by kindness. There is no policy like politeness, since a good manner often succeeds where the best tongue has failed. Politeness is most useful to inspire confidence in the timid and encourage the deserving.—Magoon.
Masters of Our Own Destiny.
It is my own deed which molds my character. If I send out hatred, if I retaliate, judge, condemn, or yield to another's dominating spell, then I consciously take part in the fray, and must suffer the consequences.—Horatio Dresser.
Are All But Means to an End.

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. POPE.

PEOPLE'S SUNDAY ALLIANCE.
Sunday the Alliance was a day of
good thoughts, good deeds and a
crowded house. An excellent program
was rendered and thoroughly enjoy-
ed. Owing to a special choral re-
hearsal Sunday afternoon at Shurcer,
the president, secretary and sear-
geant-utarms were compelled to be
absent Miss Troutman again meas-
ured up to her high standard ot
reading and the audience thoroughly
apreciate it by their hearty applarse.
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 peo-
ple and events to appear before the
Sunday Alliance next month is Law
yer John Hipp, Mesdames Turley and
Hicks, in duet, and upon the Sth and
29th the Harris Orchestra. Sunday
is business Sunday and many cur
rent topics of the day will be consid
ered. The Alliance meets at 4 p. m.

OFF TO WESTERN UNIVERSITY.
Everybody recognizes (hat in uus
day and ‘timé, that students ak wel!
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 tnat
will uplift. So, realizing that in the
next ten years the struggle will be
harder, more complex and intiricate
for every individual, the Misser Phile-
tus and Enlalie 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 ang that
“energizing racial training” that can
look and present subjects tro mine
Negroe’s viewpoints will no doubt be
a lifting power which these young
ladies along with all the rest will re
flect 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 seemea ike

Colorado students.
EUREKA LITERARY.

erary may have lacked the ginger
that was forced into it » week ago,
yet the program was good. The young

barrassed as to let the public see
them, did exceptionally fine. ‘Little

quite as clever as it was original.
There will be no literary next Tues-
