NATIONAL CONFERENCE OF BOTH RACES TO AID US NATIONAL OF BOT THE RECENT CONFERENCE AT CLIFTON. MASS.. CLIFTON, MASS., Described by Dr. John E. White of Atlanta, Ga., who presided, as the first direct effort to lift the negro at the center of his life," marks the dawning of a new era in the religious education of a race. Rev. Joseph C. Massee, pastor of the First Baptist church, Chattanooga, Tenn., one of the largest and most influential churches of the denomination in the South, wrote to a friend on his return from the great gathering: "The inspiration of that conference seems clearly of the Lord. It cannot but have a powerful and cumulative influence upon the Great American Question." The conference, it will be recalled was held by invitation and in the summer home of Mr. W. N. Hartshorn, chairman of the executive committee of the International Sunday School Association, at Clifton, Mass. Personnel of the International Committee to Consider the Clifton Plan. Mr. Hartshorn is chairman of the association's sub-committee on "Work Among the Negroes," and there are associated with him in the direction of this work Hon John Stites of Louisville, Ky., vice-president of the Fidelity Trust Co., and president of the International Sunday School Association; Mr. E. K. Warren, Manufacturer, of Three Oaks, Mich., former president of the World's Sunday School Association; Mr. John R. Pepper, president of the Tennessee Trust Co., Memphis, Tenn., one of the most prominent lawyers of the M. E. church, South, and a member since 1902 of the International Lesson committee that selects the lessons used by more than 25,000,000 Sunday school members; W. A. Eudaly, Esq., Cincinnati, O., a prominent lawyer and president of the Ohio Sunday School Association and prominent in the councils of the Baptist church; Gen. B. W. Green, a prominent citizen of Little Rock, Ark., and for many --- SATURDAY NOVEMBER 7 1908 ICE TO AID US DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY 7 NOVEMBER 7 1908 "Our new pices of School As appointed does not land, or for endow and expect teach pu schools a when the homes the tendents schools a home chu how they teach new Mr. Harschorn says the money can be raised for this practical work, to be done in the schools already in existence. The co-operation of the great organizations like the Freedman's Aid Society of the M. E. church, the American Baptist Home Mission Society, the American Missionary Association, the great Negro Denominational societies and other forces, will assure the success of the plan." The victory of Democracy in this state and county will bring about changes in the personnel of the various departments. In many under the Republican regime, negroes have found employment. These employees will probably find no mercy because they happen to be black. The best we can hope is that their places will be taken by others of the race, who may have found favor with the incoming officials. It is up to the leavers of colored democracy to make good on behalf of the race in the matter of securing places. Colored Republicans who did their best to secure such places as we have, have had to sit quiet under Democratic criticism that the Republican party was not doing enough for us, and so now that the responsibility for our showing in public life is transferred to our friends, the enemy, we have hope that they will hold all we now have and win more. We appreciate that there is not the same support given democracy by the race as is given the Republican party, but since results, not reasons, are what the world wants, we can only bid our colored Democratic friends to take up the cross where we lay it down and fight for the advancement of the race with fervency and zeal. --- years chairman of the Arkansas Sunday School Association; Mr. M. C. Bridges, merchant, of Norwood, La., and member of the International Sunday School committee representing Louisiana; and President H. B. Frissell of Hampton Institute, Hampton, Va. Co-operating with this committee to carry out plans of the Clifton conference for the religious education of the negro, especially along Sunday school lines, will be: John E. White, pastor Second Baptist church, Atlanta, Ga.; W. P. Thirkield, president Howard university, Washington, D. C.; Geo. Sale, superintendent of education, American Baptist Home Mission society, Atlanta, Ga.; James G. Snedecor, superintendent of Stillman institute, Tuscaloosa, Ala.; Frank G. Woodworth, president Tougaloo university, Tougaloo, Miss.; Wm. Goodell Frost, president Berea college, Berea, Ky.; Bishop Geo. W. Clinton, A. M. E. Zion church, Charlotte, N. C.; M. C. B. Mason, secretary Freedmen's Aid society of the M. E. church, Cincinnati, O.; R. T. Pollard, president Selma university, Selma, Ala.; H. L. McCrorey, president Biddle university, Charlotte, N. C. The Plans of the Committee. Speaking of the committee and its plans, Alexander's Magazine, a well-known Boston publication, said in its September issue: "Mr. Hartshorn, who has given so much of his time, money, energy and business ability to this question during the past three years, has visited nearly every southern state in he course of his investigations. He has studied the problem in the homes, the schools, the business houses, the churches and the Sunday schools of the negroes and has had frequent conferences, not only with the representative leaders of the race—pastors, teachers and business men—but with governors, publicists, pastors, educators, Sunday school leaders and business men among the white people. He has gone to the source of things and has aimed to get his information from all view points. He said to the writer: State Historian & Naural History Society plan of work under the austhe International Sunday association and the committee at the Clifton conference, require money to purchase o erect new buildings, or ment, but to pay the salary uses of efficient men to ils already assembled in ready established, so that se pupils return to their y can be practical superintend teachers in the Sunday ready organized in their ches, and if not organized, can organize, conduct and schools. A TRANSFER OF RESPONSIBILITY FIVE CENTS A COPY LA JUNTA, COLO. Mr. and Mrs. Jno. Marshall entertained a few friends at their residence, 517 Smithland avenue. Among those present were: Mr. and Mrs. Spencer Green, Mrs. Greer, Mrs. Govee, Mr. and Mrs. F. O. McAlister, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Badgett Davis, Miss Beatrice Tyler, Melvina Euper, Messrs. Lenox, Livington, Wilson, Childs and others. The little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Badgett is very sick with fever. The La Junta Social Club were out in mask hallowe'en night until 11:30, when they met at Mrs. F. O. McAlister's to enjoy a fine hot lunch. The colored citizens of La Junta had their Republican rally at Woodmen hall Thursday, Oct. 29th. Speaking by Lawyer Townsend of Pueblo, Hon W. M. Knight of La Junta and several white political speakers, after which dancing was enjoyed by the young people until the wee small hours, everybody leaving voting La Junta to not be the slowest yet. Mrs. Spencer Green will leave Wednesday for Denver to visit for two weeks. Mrs. Knight, Mrs. Lenox and quite a number of Rocky Ford people attended the dance in Sugar City last Friday night. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Gordon of Manitou have moved to La Junta. Mr. Gordan is employed at La Junta in the Santa Fe depot. Rev. Watson occupied the pulpit at Hubbard Chapel Sunday morning and evening. Rev. Solly stopped over for a day and was entertained at dinner by Mrs. Jas. Scott. Mr. Bud Johnson, one of La Junta's oldest citizens, lies very low at the city hospital. Harry Badgett, John Marshall and Wilford Davis went out hunting Saturday, bringing back many ducks and other game. Mr. and Mrs. Charley Walker leaves this week for their home in Little Rock, Ark. The N. U. G. Club will meet with Mrs. Marshall Thursday, Nov. 5th. A Hard Case. Indeed. A religious note from Parson Flatfoot's congregation, as recorded in the Chicago Daily News: Parson Flatfoot—"Mawnin', Sistah Snowball. How am Brudder Snowball dis mawnin'?" Sister Snowball—"He am powful bad dis mawnin', parson. De doctah done say he have a 'lignant ulster on his back, an' Ah's 'fraid he am gwine ter be a firm'd infidel." Nature's Danger Colors. The strong yellow and black marking of the European salamander is what is called a "warning" coloration, just as is the yellow and black outfit of the poisonous wasp. Animals learn to leave the yellow and black livery untouched, and tentative bites are thus avoided by the creatures so marked. The Boy and His Dad. A boy who has the brotherly interest of his father is lucky. Sometimes a wild lad does not seem to have much in common with his father and it will be the mother's task to discover something which they can do together play dominoes, chess, read the same book or anything to give a kindred World's Sweetest Plant. An Austrian journal tells of a plant called Parkid biglobosa, recently discovered in Africa, which produces a fruit containing 20 per cent, reducing sugar, which puts it in the first rank of sugar-producing plants. Lure of the Dear. An Oregon man is accused of starting forest fires to lure deer. Perhaps he had heard of men burning money to lure dears.—Spokane Spokesman. The Time. Once in awhile a woman begins to think that her husband really is good for something. But only once in awhile—the occasional times that he gets a raise in salary. Awful to Contemplate. It is stated as a truth that men become what they eat. Granted the fact, what would be the effect on Wall street if the sale of lamb as an article of food were to be prohibited by law? The Difficulty. One objection some people have to getting back to nature is that nature is so poorly equipped with push buttons.—Puck. An Emergency Exit. "Miss Crichton pluckily extinguished the blaze, while Herr Eckhold pulled the orchestra through a difficult passage."—London Daily Express. Seldom. A man soldom creates much envy by building for himself a fine mausoleum. Wheat Rust Everywhere. Wheat rust is limited to no section or grade of grain, but is encountered all the world over. Well Provided with Libraries There are in the state of New York 43 villages of between 1,000 and 2,000 inhabitants which have free libraries. First Submarine Boat. The first submarine boat was tried in Plymouth harbor, England, in 1776 THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO Trained Nurses at Sea. One of the great transatlantic steamship lines has added trained nurses to the medical personnel of its vessels. This opens a sea career for the trained nurse. Undoubtedly other lines will do the same and the nurse will become as indispensable an adjunct to the first class passenger vessel as the ship's doctor.New York State Journal of Medicine. Indian Cure for Smallpox. We publish a simple cure for smallpox kindly sent by a correspondent: "One ounce cream of tartar, dissolved in water, drunk at intervals when cold," is the recipe, and in recommending it the correspondent says it "has cured thousands, never leaves a mark, never causes blindness, and brings speedy relief."—Advocate of India. Theater Etiquette. Students of Smart-Set manners should bear in mind that it is now voted hopelessly dowdy, on entering the opera house, to hold open the swing doors on behalf of anybody who may be behind one. After your own entry, the door should, if possible, be let fly into the face of the lady behind you with a good smart bang. Bystander. Family Life. There is at the present time in England an ill-defined but widespread sense of uneasiness caused by an apparent disintegration of family life. Family relationships and the home training of children sometimes seem threatened by the tide of social and industrial development.—Manchester Guardian. Use for Court Train. The English court train is good for that one occasion and nothing else and Englishwomen with some sentiment about them are always trying to think of some use to make of the train, that will remind them of the pleasant occasion. Book covers, sachets and other dainty things are constructed from it. Easy to Watch Auto's Speed. A New York inventor has devised a mechanical attachment for an automobile which, on pressing a button, will start a watch or clock fastened to the dashboard. At the end of a mile the watch stops automatically, thus enabling the driver to test his speed from time to time. One on Mother. They talked during dinner of the recent anarchic activity. "But, papa, what is an anarchist?" little Willie asked. "Well, my boy," replied the father, "he's a person who is always blowing somebody up." The child turned to his mother. "Then you are an anarchist, ma?" he said. Hard On the Snake. Showman—"Look here, your paper said the biggest snake in my show was 20 feet long, when it's really 31 feet." Editor—"Sorry, but we were pushed for space yesterday and had to cut everything down."—Stray Storles Open to Debate. Quoth the married philosopher, with an introspective smile: "I think my wife is an angel. She thinks I am a brute. Possibly both of us may be mistaken."—Illustrated Sunday Magazine. French Wives in Business. Wives of French business men, as is well known, quite commonly assist in their husbands' commercial affairs, and for such wives it is claimed that they "afford much help by being, even 'after hours,' always willing to talk shop.'" Has Trained Bull at Work. Thomas Hill, a Lawrenceville (N. J.) farmer, has trained a bull to run a treadmill, which pumps water, churns butter and does all of that kind of work. The bull, Hill says, beats a windmill or gasoline engine. In Pawn. We Suppose. Enlightened by three dreams a man finds the wedding ring lost by his wife five years before. Let him speak right out to an anxious world and say whether it was mince pie or Welsh rarebit—New York Herald. Church to Be Built of Paper. Paris is to have a new church made entirely of paper, rendered impermeable by means of a coating of quicklime mixed with curdled milk and white of egg. It will accommodate 1,000 people. Irish Hospitality. An Irishman needs no requital for his hospitality; its generous impulse is the instinct of his nature, and the very consciousness of the act carries its recompense along with it.—Charles Phillips. Real Cause for Divorce. In seeking absolute divorce man testifies that his wife gave him hash for breakfast and provided the correspondent with cocktails and soft shell crabs. That's adding insult to alleged infidelity. The Limit. Howell—"I don't mind getting a lemon now and then, but—" Powell—"But what?" Howell—"I think it is overdoing the thing when the lemon has been squeezed." Disastrous Reaction. "I was awfully worried about Johnny when he had that last sick spell," said Mrs. Lapsling, "and when the doctor told me he was going to get well I went fairly deleterious with joy." The Difference The man who saves when he has little is called stingy. He that saves when he has much is said to be judicious. Congested New York. The world's population could be contained in Delaware if it was as congested as 11 New York city blocks, at the rate of 1,200 people to the acre. When You Feel "Blue." Determine not to be "blue" and make it a rule to go to see a friend and to cheer him up every day. Incidentally you will cheer yourself up. Her Superiority. Woman's superiority is exhibited in her ability to sew without putting a knot at the end of her thread. Doctrine of Selfishness. Aristophanes: That is every man's country where he lives best. PAGE. 10. Wit Must Come Unsought. When one runs after wit he is sure to catch nonsense.—Montesquieu. Eternal Truth. Trifles make perfection, but perfection is no trifle.—Michael Angelo. Won Through Force of Grit. Louise M. Alcott fought poverty for 20 years, fighting it with splitting headaches, weary limbs and aching heart, but she made over $200,000 with her pen and cleared all the family debts, even those outlawed. Her grit alone sustained her against poor health. Teach Zoology to Blind. Even blindness is not allowed to prevent the children of Paris from learning natural history and knowing what birds and beasts are like. A class at the Parisian school for the blind is taught by the use of a fine collection of stuffed animals, which the pupils learn to recognize by the touch. Physical Training Does Harm. Nearly 500 men fall out from the ranks of the British army every year, owing to weak hearts and other defects brought about by the illogical system of physical training in the army. Must Climb Ladder Slowly. It is a great mistake to think that you can scale the heights at a bound without climbing the ladder rung by rung, and it is this mistake which has resulted in so many failures. Uncle Jerry. "It's no trouble," remarked Uncle Jerry Peebles, "for a man in this climate to get a reputation as a prophet. All he has to do is to look wise and predict rain." Show This to Your Wife. If the water is good and hot, washing dishes can be made a poem in the program of duty.—Manchester Union. A Testimonial. We candidly acknowledge that the pictures with which Punch is illustrating some of our oldest jokes are excellent. The Beat Proof The only thing that can be said to refute the assertion that no woman can dress decently on less than $20,000 a year is that most of them do. Egotism. Many a man who thinks he is mounting the ladder is still a long way from the bottom rung. Or Women. Either. The only man who can keep a promise is the man who never has to make one.New York Press. Somewhere. A man may be absolutely impossible, but somewhere there is some woman who doesn't think so. Portuguese Proverb. An innocent heart suspects no guile. LADIES' TAILORING. Fashionable dressmaking, design- ing. Mrs. I. M. McGuire, 2516 Curtis Street. Birds Foresaw Storm. A German officer describes in the Rote Kreuz a curious scene he witnessed on a ride in southwest Africa. A number of vultures, eagles and other large birds suddenly gathered on the trees at one place. A few dark clouds were visible, and ere long there was a violent tropical storm. The water penetrated into holes in the ground, from which presently emerged large numbers of snakes, scorpions and mice, and these the birds pounced upon and devoured. The Ideal School. If you want to make a nation of "bookies" by all means cram the boys and girls in your schools with plenty of arithmetic, but if you would rather have a nation of good men and women, then train your children to love all that is beautiful in nature and in art, all that is noble in life or in death. The school of the future will be a beautiful building in a beautiful garden.—Clarion. The Deep Things of Life The hymn line: "Cast your deadly doing down" was long ago discredited and laughed out of court. Nevertheless, one who pins faith to ceaseless activities, even of philanthropy and reform, who is contemptuous of poetry, philosophy and religion, who forgets to draw from the perennial wells of courage and inspiration, will sooner or later walk in a barren land of petty interests, unable to discover the springs of refreshment. Peter Pan in Real Life. The lucky man is the man who through all the seasons of many years remains at heart a boy. He will be asked by boys to share boyish amusements and to fall in with boys' ideas of what sport should be, which is the best compliment of all. He has a man's store of experience, an added patience, a maturer philosophy, but in all else he remains a boy.—London Field. Greek Architecture. It is astonishing that students of Greek literature and Greek thought should not be definitely trained in the knowledge of Greek architecture. He who knows only the literary expression of ancient Greece, great as that is, knows but one-half of the achievements of "the supreme Caucasian mind."—The Builder. The Highest Character The highest of characters, in my estimation, is his who is as ready to pardon the moral errors of mankind as if he were every day guilty of some himself; and at the same time as cautious of committing a fault as if he never forgave one.—Pliny the Younger. Silk Hat Economy. We may regard London as the home of the silk hat, and we feel sure that here the free ironing of customers' hats has had a very pernicious effect on the trade. The average silk hat wearer will buy only one of these hats in a year—Outfitter. Cultivate Cheerfulness. Temperament may not be overcome, but it can be modified. The best character that you can take as your guide is one absolutely true and always cheerful. Cheerfulness is one of the first of virtues. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Accounted For. It's hard to tell what becomes of the pins, but a little girl up north has just coughed up a shoe button.—Atlanta Journal. Origin of Term "Yankee." "Yankee" is from endeavor of Indians to pronounce the word "English," which they rendered "Yenghees." All Natural Believers. We are natural believers. Truth, or the connection between cause and effect, alone interests us.—Emerson. Dangerous City "Playgrounds." New York city streets make dangerous playgrounds, but they are the only ones that thousands of little people have. Not a day passes without injury to children by vehicles, and about nine are killed each month. Injurious Infantile Fashion. Out of every 100 recruits in Bosnia, 62 have flattened skulls, the outcome, apparently, of the very tight dressing of the baby's head in its first months of life. The Philippines. Systematic investigation of the Philippine islands reveals the fact that the group consists of 2,600 islands, while before the American occupation the number was estimated at 1,200: Work Is the Divine Spur. Work is a necessity if you would develop the best that is in you; it is the divine syur that compels a man to unfold his possibilities by conquering the enemies of success and happiness. Powers of Australian Police. In Australian cities the police are now empowered to enter private dwellings in which they suspect gambling. Philosophical. A girl with freckles feels just as philosophical about them as the man does about being in a stock market panic.—New York Press. Beware of Boasting. Lavater: He who can conceal his joys is greater than he who can hide his griefs. Substantially one-third of the entire industrial capital of Brazil is invested in cotton mills. Wear and Tear on Currency. The annual wear and tear on the world's currency is estimated at two tons of gold and 100 tons of silver. Self-Deception Common. Greville: No man was ever so much deceived by another as by himself. J. WINSTON BAILEY, OPT. D. Oculist Optician With Prescription Lenses Office and College 1863 Curtis DENVER, COLO.

FOR CATALOG AND SPECIAL INFORMATION, ADDRESS DEAN OF DEPARTMENT. Life's Most Important Factor. I have come to see that cleverness, success, attainment, count for little; that goodness, or character, is the important factor in life.—G. J. Romanes. In Praise of Labor. Little do you know your own blessedness; for to travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive; the true success is to labor.—R. L. Stevenson. Happy Thought. The habit of happy thought would transform the commonest life into harmony and beauty.—Success Magazine. Life More Than a Treadmill. Life ought not to be a treadmill, and when it appears to be such there is something wrong. Generally. The man to whom it is necessary to give the benefit of the doubt generally ends by needing more.

We require a certain firmness in all circumstances of life, even the happiest, and perhaps contradictions come in order to prove and exercise this; and, if we can only determine so to use them, the very effort brings back tranquillity to the soul, which always enjoys having exercised its strength in conformity to duty.—William von Humboldt. Rely on Yourself. All things come to him who hustles while he waits. Don't sit down with folded hands or stand with arms akimbo set until the occasion tells you what to do; don't wait for something to turn up or somebody to come along and take you by the hand to lead you up, without any labor on your part, to the heights others have gained by push and perseverance. The Sphinx. The Sphinx was hewn out of the natural rock, with the exception of trifling additions in masonry here and there to complete the shape. The excavations of Mariette in 1852 practically redeemed the colossal figure from the sands, so that it stood forth in its full dimensions, 172 feet in length by 56 feet in height.—New York American. Good Work Has Slow Growth. Bancroft spent 26 years on his history and Webster 36 on his dictionary. 'Tis the same with the great inventions. It took years of study and experiment to perfect them. Everything must have a foundation, otherwise it cannot stand, and the more solid the foundation the safer is the structure. Fat in Food a Necessity. Many minor ills of the body would be avoided if only care were taken to include a sufficiency of fat in the diet. Fat, we know, is about the most compact form of fuel which we possess, while it exercises a favorable effect upon the processes of the intestinal tract. Perseverance Essential. There is a certain point of proficiency at which an acquisition begins to be of use, and unless we have the time and resolution necessary to reach that point, our labor is as completely thrown away as that of a mechanic who began to make an engine but never finished it.—P. G. Hamerton. Ceylonese Land Leeches. Land leeches are plentiful in Ceylon. These bloodsuckers hang on bushes and trees and lurk in the grass. The only way to get them off one's body is to squeeze a few drops of lemon on them. Then they fall to the ground. Craving for Occasional Change. Something in human nature demands the introduction of the element of novelty into existence from time to time. The person is exceptional who can be content in the same routine, day in and day out, for months and years. Baker's Dozen. There used to be in various countries heavy penalties for short weight in bakers' goods, and the bakers, in order to avoid all risk of incurring the fine, used to give a surplus number of loaves, 13 for a dozen.—New York American. A Labor-Saving Scheme. "John," said the newly married business man. "Yessir," responded the office boy. "Call up my wife every 15 minutes, and mumble lovey-dovey, tootsey-wootsey, about seven or eight times." —Exchange. The Fireside Diplomat. "I don't want to be nagging at you," Mrs. Marryat began, "but it's the little things that bother me most—" "Ah!" interrupted her husband, sweetly.

DENVER. COLORADO. WHY UMBRELLA WAS RETURNED. Something of a Joke on the Late Henry Ward Beecher. Among the financial friends of the great preacher was one old broker in New York—an aggressive Unitarian, which sect he often said bore "the trade mark of honesty." One day he met Mr. Beecher hurrying toward Wall street ferry to avoid the downpour of a sudden rainstorm. "Take my umbrella," said the broker. "I don't need it; the coming bus takes me to my door." At the ferry Mr. Beecher met a lady, a prominent church worker of a sister church, who, having no umbrella, was lamenting her inability to reach her car safely. The urbane preacher forced the umbrella upon her as he said: "I will be out your way to-morrow and will call and get it." Two hours later as Mr. Beecher was sitting in the old arm chair in his study the doorbell rang and when he responded to the call a boy hurriedly presented him with an umbrella, together with an unsealed note, which read: "Dear Mr. Beecher—My husband, Mr. M., demands that I return the umbrella you so kindly loaned me at once, and join him in saying that under the circumstances the pleasure of an anticipated call is unregretted. Upon opening the umbrella you will become more fully advised of our united action." The great expounder of truth and honesty was horrified when upon opening the umbrella he discovered a pasted slip upon which was written in a bold round hand: "Stolen by some Presbyterian thief!" TUNES FAIL TO KILL; MAY BUY. Aged Flute Player Makes Sure by Trying Score of Pieces. A little old man entered a large music shop and asked the assistant to show him a book of flute music. "Here, sir, is a very fine selection," said the assistant, "and cheap at half a dollar, seeing that it contains no fewer than 50 airs." The old man took the book, opened it, and laid it on a shelf. Then he took his flute out of his coat pocket, screwed it together and began to play softly the first tune in the book. When he had finished the first tune he turned the page and played the second. Then he played the third. An hour later he was still playing. The assistant thought it was time to hurry him up a bit. "Well, sir," he said, "do you think the book will suit you?" "I like these so far very much, thank you," said the old man, putting his instrument to his lips again, "but I have only played half the tunes so far!" On Good Breeding. The immoral man, who invades another's property, is justly hanged for it; and the ill-bred man, who, by his ill manners, invades and disturbs the quietts and comforts of private life, is by common consent as justly banished from society. Mutual complaisances, attentions and sacrifices of little conveniences, are natural an implied compact between civilized people as protection and obedience are between kings and subjects; whoever, in either case, violates that compact justly forfeits all advantages arising from Lord Chesterfield.

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.

DENVER. COLORADO. Collecting sea snakes for the scientific institutions is a difficult process. If the collector is to obtain anything like a fair proportion of the 50 odd species he must cruise through Malayan seas in a small boat and be ever on the watch. The only way to obtain a series of the species is to shoot them. Sea snakes come regularly to the surface for air, but the collector is lucky if he gets one out of every ten snakes he sees. In Any Case It Was the Cat. Two Columbia students rooming together cook some of their meals themselves and take turns in doing the marketing. One of them brought home two chops the other night, intending them for breakfast. Some time in the night a cat stole one of the chops. This brought about the first quarrel that had arisen between the young men. They could not decide the question "Whose chop did the cat eat?" The Basis of Good Society. "Society,"like everything else which is collectively human, is just what its units allow it to be, and this is as true inside the church as anywhere else. The need of the day is no new one—it is for men and women whose example will make them lights and beacons in our politics, our churches, our educational establishments, our "society," and in all our human relations.—Philadelphia Public Ledger.

COLORADO PATIENTLY PROGREEDING PAGE 2 According to a government botanist at Washington there is reason to believe that buds share in the growing old of the parent plant. He illustrates his meaning in this way: Suppose the average life of an individual plant say a tree-to be 100 years, then a bud removed when the parent plant is 50 years old will also be virtually 50 years of age, and if transplanted by grafting will be able to live on the graft only 50 years more. . How Tears Soothe Pain. An abstraction of water and of albuminoid and chemical substances, at the immediate expense of the cerebral blood, takes place in the act of shedding tears. This produces the effect of a slight local loss of blood, dulling the nerve centers to pain for some instants and bringing relief to the weeper. This is the way in which tears come to the aid of the suffering soul.—Paris Cosmos. Hanging Scaffolds With the modern skyscraping office building has come a new form of building scaffold. Instead of constructing the scaffold from below, which is impossible in the cases of buildings ranging from 10 to 50 stories high, platforms are suspended from the steel girders above. On these swinging platforms the bricklayers work and the scaffold is raised as the work progresses.—System. Insect Chemists. Failing to bite sugar from several lumps, some marked bees under observation of Gaston Bonnier, a French naturalist, flew away, returning in an hour or two with 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. Wisdom and Satire. A New York judge says that one of the noblest bits of political wisdom he ever heard was from an Italian constituent who was overheard saying to a compatriot in district politics the other day: "You eata da fish, and you talk less." Generally He Is. "When a man axes me foh advice," said Uncle Eben, "I doesn't throw out my chest an' feel flattered. De chances is dat de man who axes foh advice is simply goin' around to everybody he knows tryin' to celebrate hissef as a topic of conversation." She Surely Did. A little, fatherless boy was told by his nurse in a solemn manner that his mother was going to be married again. He received the impression that something was about to happen to his mother, and asked, in an agitated whisper: "Does mamma know?" Use Much Sheep Gut. An investigation of the sources of supply of the materials entering into the manufacture of musical instruments in Germany has revealed the fact that nearly 70,000 pounds of sheep gut are used annually for strings. Vigorously Moribund. People say that the English Christmas is dying out. But one has a suspicion that people always talked that way. Anyway, if the English Christmas is dying, it is surprisingly vigorous still. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORAD. The Unfortunate Weather. "We shouldn't blame de weather fer changin' so," said the old darky. "Hit's a compliment ter de worl' dat de weather tries its bes' ter please all de people in it, an' de only way it kin succeed in pleasin' 'um is ter keep changin'. But de day will never come w'en de whole worl' 'll give it a recommendation."—Atlanta Constitution. What Becomes of Them? An old friend informs me that worn-out billiard balls are cut up into dice. Worn-out footballs are hung on walls as relics. Worn-out baseballs fall into the hands of the street urchins, who ultimately tear them apart and play with the rubber insides. Worn-out moth balls are used to keep the tarnish off silver. Worn-out golf balls are lost.—New York Press. Present Appreciation. We ought daily or weekly to dedicate a little time to the reckoning up of the virtues of our belongings—wife, children, friends—contemplating them, then, in a beautiful collection. And we should do so now, that we may not pardon and love in vain and too late, after the beloved one has been taken away from us to a better world.—Jean Paul Richter. Oldest Encyclopedia. The most ancient encyclopedia extant is Pliny's "Natural History," in 37 books and 2,493 chapters, treating of cosmography, astronomy, meteorology, geography, geology, botany, medicine, the arts and pretty nearly every other department of human thought known at the time. Pliny died 79 A. D.—New York American. Climb higher. The struggle to climb to a higher place in life has strength and dignity in it, and cannot fail to leave us stronger for the effort, even though we miss the prize.—Success Magazine. In Life and in Death. Envy will exert itself against a competitor, while life remains; but when death stops the competition, affection will applaud without restraint.—Pericles.

One day, after a severe wind storm, she came running into the house explaining: "Oh, mother! Dod blew the barber's sign down!" — Harper's Weekly. Curious. One of the most curious things in the world is a woman, who, having fallen in love with a man because of his wit, talks so much after their marriage that he never gets a chance to show whether he is able to keep on being witty or not. Man's Peculiar Ways. It is a curious fact that a man who travels hundreds of miles and submits to many discomforts for the sake of getting a chance to whip a stream will indignantly refuse to beat a carpet when he might do it with little or no trouble right at home. The Old Philosopher. "Don't reach out for all the world," said the old philosopher, "and yet, if you don't, the other fellow may grab it, and you'll find yourself without an acre of ground to stand on!"—Atlanta Constitution. Marital Missiles. At a Lynn (Mass.) wedding recently bright new coins were thrown after the departing bride and groom. This is a decided improvement on the rice and old shoe method of wishing good luck to the departing pair. The Ivory Nut. The ivory nut, which is so much used by button manufacturers, is the fruit of a species of palm which grows in Central and South America.

A woman sent in a fire alarm yesterday when she posted a letter. It must have been to her husband.—Chicago Evening Post. Said by the Sage.

Many Americans of a certain class would indorse the view of an applicant who appeared in a London court recently, according to the Pall Mall Gazette, and complained that a man had given her a black eye. In middle class circles the mere fact would suffice as an obvious grievance. But this woman felt that something more was necessary to constitute a genuine case of magisterial notice. "I am a lone woman," she explained. "If I had a husband to give it to me I wouldn't mind—I'd put up with it; but I don't like other men to give it to me." And so she asked for, and got, her summons. Possibly not every one has heard the anecdote about a dear old mother whose son had been promoted to be a commissioned officer, says Army and Navy Life. He sent her a box of navel oranges from the south, and this brief note: "Dear Mother: Just a handful of navel oranges, something you will find especially choice. Devotedly, Jack." The mother said to visitors: "Just the very best boy in all the world. But he never could learn to spell. Just think of a lieutenant spelling 'naval' with an 'e' instead of an 'a.' And a small 'n!' Isn't it embarrassing to a mother? Still it sounds the same when you speak it." "Thin people very seldom have doubles," says a photographer. "In my business I meet many pairs of people who look alike. In every case the most extraordinary resemblances are between persons who are stout. Scientifically I cannot explain the likelihood of heavyweights possessing the same chin, eyes, nose and expression. Maybe it is because the flesh fills up all angles and hollows and destroys individuality of outline."

E. church each service Sunday to greet Rev. W. M. Prince, the presiding elder. The quarterly meeting was indeed an inspiration to every department of the church. Dr. P. D. Yochum, our progressive pastor, proved by his reports and systematic arangements his ability to take charge of the church in every department. The presiding elder preached Wednesday night and administered the Lord's Supper and a larger congregation had not gathered at Bethel for many months. Mr. Johnson united with the church when the invitation was extended. The lectures delivered to the church boards and the soulstirring sermon delivered by the preiding elder, prove the wisdom of the Bishop in making the appointment to this district. Rev. Wm. Solly assisted in the sacrament. The quarterly conference closed with a spiritual wave and hearty amens. The Hallowe'en entertainment at the A. M. E. church, conducted by Mrs. Jennie Moore, assisted by Mrs. Maggie Jefferson, Mrs. Caddy Yates and Miss Beulah Dunlap, for the benefit of the pastor, was the most enjoyable affair of the season. The pastor addressed the audience on the future and progress of the church. The presiding elder made a timely address on the necessity of education to the social functions of our community. The proceeds were good. Pastor Yochum leaves today for Cripple Creek, where he was called on account of the illness of his daughter. Mrs. Harry Lumm, after visiting several weeks with her daughter, Miss Florence Taylor, left for home in Newton, Kans. Mrs. Garth is sick in bed. We hope for her speedy recovery. Mrs. Jennie Harris is still quite sick. Coal Cheapest "a la Carte." An English town boasts the possession of a coal vender who knows some French. He is not sure of it, but his pride in it is prodigious. Little Gallic phrases keep slipping into his casual speech, and they light it with a quaint charm. As, for instance, when he was asked his prices for coal by a woman customer. "Well, madam," he replied, "If you take it 'a la carte' it's 20 shillings the ton, but if you take it 'cul-de-sac' it's a shilling extra for the bags." PJaygrounds. It's a good scheme to use the school yards as public playgrounds. They are convenient for all sections, and the plan will be indorsed by the people.

That side-splitting farce, "Give Me Water Color," produced by Harris and Pryor in the All-Star Minstrels, will make you laugh for a week. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO In Response to Teacher's Question He Promptly Answers "My Father." In these days children are taught things their fathers never worried about. One class recently had a lesson on the famous painters of the world—the "old masters." "Now, boys," concluded the master, "try to remember the names of some of these wonderful artists—Michael Angelo, Raphael and Salvator Rosa. I shall expect you to know one of these names when I ask you." Next day he thought he would test the memories of his pupils. "Who can tell me," he asked, "the name of some great painter?" Not a word, not a hand raised. "That's odd!" continued the master. "Come, now, you must remember some of those names I told you. Ah, Jimmie remembers! Name a great painter, Jimmie!" But the teacher in turn had forgotten that Jimmie had been absent the day before. The boy's answer, however, was prompt. "My father!" he said. "Your father?" replied the astonished master, while the class giggled hysterically. "Yes, sir. He paints grates, furnaces and all sorts of ironwork!" GRIEVING FOR HIS OLD HOME. Possibility That Unfortunate Was Not Altogether Deserving. The old man was seated in the park, great tears coursing down his cheeks. He was such a pathetic picture that the sympathetic passer-by stopped and asked him if he were ill. "Yes, sir," said the sorrowing old fellow. "I have just had bad news from home. The house that has sheltered me for years is to be sold and torn down, and I haven't a penny to my name to stop it. Everybody in it will be turned out, and Heaven knows what will become of them." "Poor soul!" said the sympathetic passer-by, slipping a dollar into the old man's hand. "That isn't much money, but you are welcome to it." "Thank you, sir," said the old fellow, smiling through his tears. "Every little bit helps, and I am very much obliged to you." "Where is this old home of yours, my friend?" asked the philanthropist. "Up at Sing-Sing," replied the old man. "It's the jail, sir. I've lived there 25 years altogether." And the philanthropist passed on.—Harper's Weekly. Jap View of Baseball.

"Yes, farming is all very easy," the farmer said. "Any city person could make a success of it at the first go off." He sneered at his three girl borers from Chicago in order to show that he had spoken in bitter irony. "Mrs. Jack Frost," he resumed, "took the farm next to mine one year. Being from the city, she thought she would show us country people a thing or two about real farming. She began on a chicken yard. "It was a fine yard. Pretty soon a hundred eggs hatched out. There was half hens and half roosters. Mrs. Jack Frost, before sailing for Europe, separated the two sexes, and, killing all the roosters, she sent them to her friends. A fine lot of spring br'ilers they made—they were no bigger than squabs. "But when Mrs. Jack Frost got back from Europe, a strange sight her chicken yard presented. It was nothing but young roosters—young roosters crowing, young roosters swaggering about, while here, with flying feathers and squawks and blood, a terrible fight went on, and there, disregarded by all, lay the corpses of brave birds slain in single combat. At sunrise you could hear the crowing of those roosters all over the county. "Poor Mrs. Jack Frost understood the theory of chicken raising all right; only, in separating the young birds, she mistook the males for the females and vice versa." OCULIST A MAN OF RESOURCE Has a Blind Beggar Woman to Advertise His Business. Enterprise takes various forms, even in Warsaw. A young oculist, finding that patients were few and far between, hit upon an original means of advertising. He engaged a blind woman who sits and begs by the Church of the Holy Cross to hold a light board whereon are written his name, address, professional qualifications and consultation hours. As the church is in the busiest thoroughfare of the town the notice attracts a good deal of attention. The beggar herself says she is quite satisfied with the results, as many people notice her who would otherwise pass by, and as the doctor has added his assurance that she is hopelessly blind benevolent old ladies throw coppers into her tin mug, sure that their money is not wasted on an impostor. It is not yet known whether the number of patients has increased. "What was the text, Jane?" asked Mr. Tribbles as his wife came home from church. Mrs. Tribbles had to confess that she had forgotten it. "Or, rather," she added, "I lost it. In fact, I didn't get it." "When I fail to remember the text you always want to know why. What was the reason that you didn't get it?" "Something happened that drove it from my mind." "Well, if you must know," said his wife, rubbing her nose, "just as the preacher was about to give out the text a moth flew along right in front of me. You know well enough what a PAGE.6 woman does when she sees a moth. Of course, I couldn't clap my hands there in church and crush it between them, but I spread out my handkerchief, made a quick motion, and folded it together. Then I pressed it tightly. "I got the moth, but I lost the text." —Youth's Companion. No Satisfaction. The Correspondent—In that letter of mine that you printed this morning several gross errors were permitted to appear. Look at this. I wrote "Nobody has any desire to impeach the rugged quality of Mr Skimmerhorn's honesty," and you turned "honesty" into "hosiery." Look at it! The Editor—I see it. And what's more, I see nothing wrong about it. Anything else? "Yes, here's another. This is what I wrote: 'Mr. Skimmerhorn's ripe experience and his respect for honor must not be forgotten.' And you speak here of his 'tripe experience' and his 'respect for Homer.'" "Yes, that's so. And they're both highly commendable virtues. Good morning, sir." The Beam and the Mote. Little Dick, the village "bad boy," was wading through a shallow swamp catching frogs with a small landing net. It was slow work, for the frogs were nimble and exceedingly shy, but whenever he succeeded in capturing one he made sure that it did not get away by putting it in a tin bucket that had a perforated lid. He had just caught a fine specimen and transferred it to his bucket, when a young lady, who was out for a walk, happened along. "Little boy," she said, "don't you know it's very cruel to catch those poor little froggies?" Dick straightened up and looked at her. She wore a gorgeous "creation" on her head, and something in its trimmings attracted his attention. "I want 'em to wear on my hat," he said.—Youth's Companion. Marriage of Widows in India. We are glad to note the number of widow marriages increasing every year. Following on the heels of one in high life in Calcutta, there have been lately three such marriages in different parts of the country. This is a noteworthy record, which should cause the social reformer to take heart for the ultimate success of his work. The agitation that has been kept up for years by the social conference has been successful, if only in impressing all classes of the Hindu community with the necessity of widow marriage. It is, however, well known that those who still take exception to it and offer sentimental objections have no widowed daughters at home, and consequently have no means to judge their sad condition.-Indian Mirror. Permanent Rose Scent. A word about the making of rose paste. Steep the petals in water until they are soft enough to be macerated easily. Mix in a few drops of attar of rose and a little gum. This is a very suitable mixture to inclose in amulets or charms, for it is sweet but not sickly, and it keeps its sweetness, and, if run into a little fancy mold while soft and allowed to set and harden there, when turned cut it will make an ornamental as well as an effectual perfume for a box of handkerchiefs or some of our pet possessions.—Girl's Realm. PAGE. 6. The Essence of a Gentleman. The gentleman is the man who is master of himself, who respects himself and makes others respect him. The essence of a gentleman is eternal self-rule. It implies a character which possesses itself, a self-controlling force, a liberty which affirms and regulates itself according to the type of true dignity.—Henri Frederic Amiel. Gave Their Lives to Their Work. Gave Their Lives to Their Work. Napoleon became the world's greatest soldier because he loved "the tented field" and made soldiering a science. Gladstone was regarded as the greatest statesman of ancient or modern times, and his success in this direction lay in the fact that politics was the hobby of his life, he was in love with his work, hence he made it a success. The Rights of Roosters. An Atchison county farmer's wife brought four dozen young roosters to town the other day. Not a pullet in the bunch. These chickens will be fried. Do the roosters get a square deal? The roosters are fried and the pullets live. Isn't life as precious to a rooster as to a pullet?—Atchison Globe. Women Are to Share with Men. Men and women are to have a common way of life—a common education and they are to watch over the citizens in common, whether abiding in the city or going out to war; they are to guard together and to hunt together like dogs; and always and in all things women are to share with the men.—Plato. The Good That Never Dies. Dickens: There is nothing, innocent or good, that dies and is forgotten. Let us hold to that faith or none. An infant, a prattling child, will live again in the better thoughts of those who loved it, and will play its part, through them, in the redeeming actions of the world, though its body be burnt to ashes or drowned in the deepest sea. Violence of Reason. Reason is always a kind of brute force; those who appeal to the head rather than the heart, however pallid and polite, are necessarily men of violence. We speak of "touching" a man's heart, but we can do nothing to his head but hit it.—Gilbert K. Chesterton. Deserved Punishment "A man in Washington was fined $10 for stealing three umbrellas," says the Buffalo Express. Well, Washington doesn't mean to be pettish, unduly exacting, or anything of that kind, of course; but three umbrellas! Wasn't that rather rubbing it in?—Washington Herald. Bacteria in Books. The brownish spots which appear in old books are really due to the ravages of bacteria. The tiny destroyer is especially fond of starchy material, and its propagation is promoted by damp. Rich Land Unused. In the mountain regions of Cuba there are many ridges and valleys of extremely fertile land, nearly all untouched, and existing practically as they did before the time of the Spaniarda.

THE WOMEN'S HAIR CARE We Grew Our Hair Now Let Us Grow Yours with "PORO" TRADE MARK (Registered) 4 years ago my hair was only a 4 years ago my hair just covered finger-length, and my temples my shoulders. were bald half way up my head. When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qualities, all lengths, and all conditions of hair, even to the growing of hair on bald places of the head, many persons scorned the idea that such a thing was possible; but we have grown the hair for hundreds, rapidly achieving success. The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that "theirs is the same" or "just as good") or referred to "PORO." We advise you to use only "PORO" Hair Grower, (the oldest and best of its kind). See that the name "PORO" is on every box, not genuine without it. Prepared only by MRS. A. M. POPE.

Here is an extract from the prospectus of a hotel in Switzerland: "Weissbach is the favorite place of resort for those who are fond of solitude. Persons in search of solitude are, in fact, constantly flocking here from the four quarters of the globe."—London Mail. Optimistic. "What you want to do in this panic," observed the mild-mannered man, "is to be optimistic. Look on the bright side. Be like that man who fell from the 40-story building who called out to the man standing in the window of the thirtieth floor as he went by: 'I'm all right so far!'" Don't Nag. I admonish all those in my family who have authority to be angry, in the first place to manage their anger, and not to lavish it upon every occasion, for that lessens the effect; rash and constant scolding runs into custom, and renders itself despised.—Montaigne. Rushers Do Poor Work. It is the misfortune of many that they are always in a rush, hence their work is never satisfactory. Our young men are rushed through school. crammed through college, and pitched into the professions without any reserve supply of education or training. Reclaiming the Sahara. Water is doing wonders for the Sahara. In the Wad Rir region 50 years ago there were only about 300,000 date palms where now much more than a million are cultivated; and the population, now 30,000, has quadrupled in a generation.

No man ever betrayed a trust without intending to fix it up if things ever came his way. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. Blonde Women's Advantage. "Blonde women have their photographs taken just about twice as often in the long run as brunettes," remarked a photographer. "The reason is easy; blondes take better pictures than brunettes. The lighting effects are better when the subject is a blonde. A blonde girl may get a photograph that will flatter her, where one of a brunette, taken under the same conditions, will not even do her justice." Squelched Eccentric Poet. One day Charles Baudelaire, the eccentric French poet, came to Maxine du Camp's rooms with his hair dyed green. Du Camp affected not to notice it. Baudelaire did all he could to direct attention to it and finally, as his friend persisted in not noticing it, he burst out: "Don't you see anything strange about me to-day?" Du Camp answered: "Not at all; lots of people have green hair." Baudelaire left at once, disgusted. Vocation. Every man has his own vocation. There is one direction in which all space is open to him. He has faculties silently inviting him thither to endless exrtion. He is like a ship in a river; he runs against obstructions on every side but one; on that side all obstruction is taken away, and he sweeps serenely over a deepening channel into an infinite sea.—R. W. Emerson. Would Welcome Such Gems. The legal tangle that has resulted from the pretensions of a man that he could make diamonds is interesting to women who hope that the man can prove his ability to manufacture the crystalline form of carbon, as the real gems are growing scarcer every year, and the price threatens to become prohibitive. A Handicap Now. "What sort of telescope do you use for seeing things on Mars?" The eminent astronomer, habituated to scanning the heavens at magazine space rates, stayed his pen but an instant. "I have learned," he replied, "not to rely on any telescope. The best of them badly hampers the play of the imagination." A certain degree of solitude seems necessary for the full growth and spread of the highest mind.—Novalis. For Your Choosing. There are nettles everywhere, but the smooth, green grasses are more common still.—Mrs. Browning. Few Are Found. The Bible: Blessed is he who findeth a true friend. Grit Always Respected.

The victory of the Republican national ticket makes us joyful. We are so glad that our friends still have the helm of state. A few mutineers rave, but the country moves on to its greater destiny. We are proud of the part played by colored Republicans in the victory. Rarely has the vast majority stood more firmly for the party, and considering that their position required defense against the attacks of the Bryanites, it is a compliment to both their brains and their steadfastness. Mr. Taft owes much to the colored Republicans, and we shall trust to his fairness to do his best to bring us up to the plane of untrammeled American citizenship. OUR CONDUCT IN PUBLIC PLACES There seems to lurk in some colored people's minds the idea that they should be conspicuous in public places where they come into contact with the whites. On no other basis can we account for the uncouth bearing some show where good breeding should make us quiet and unpretentious. Nature has set us apart by the color of our skin and our racial peculiarities, without additional differences of our own making. Leave off street corner posing and loud talking; be courteous and remember it becomes a colored gentleman to offer a lady his seat in the street car, even if she is white; be cleanly in dress, but not conspicuous; in short, use common sense and the day will be hastened when we will reap a return in kind of the good deeds we have sown. WE CONGRATULATE BOTH SIDES. For the first time in the history of this state, we have had organized efforts among colored voters on benalf of both great parties. Considerable energy was put forth by both, and arguments, workers, literature and all he means of persuasion known to politics were plentiful. Yet we have run the race, and the colored people have not taken the political differences, our friendships remain as strong as ever, our hopes and plans for the race have not suffered, in short, we have adopted the white man's way of playing the game. We congratulate Republicans and Democrats upon the dawn of the new style of campaigning, and hope they will remember it in the future. --- PAGE.8 THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. RMS. months .....$1.00 Three months ..$ .50 Colorado, as second class mailmatter. WE WIN AND WE LOSE. The defeat of the Republican party in the state and county is a grievous loss, but we can rejoice that we have gone down in support of principle. Where it was possible to barter for votes by the surrender of what the party stands for, our leaders refused, and they were right. So it is that we say, we win and we lose. It is with some shame that a Republican looks back upon the manner in which the party has been a purveyor of privilege to the Evans corporations. The forthcoming water question has been the disturbing element in the county politics and to the election of his tools the best energies of the Evans machine have been bent. The sheriff, the district attorney, happily are Republicans and do not wear his collar. If the supreme court does not take a hand and re-juggle the Rush bill and move them out of office, we can rest easy that the people will have fair play on the settlement of the water franchise. If, however, we are stripped of this protection by the courts, we will have to win anyhow. Taxpayers, look at your water taxes; ask your friends from other cities what they pay. Educate yourselves, then you will be ready to vote. Remember that this generation will get only one chance at the water hog! Few Deaths on Holland Railroads.
