TRANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN State Historian & Natural History Society CHEYENNE HIGH SCHOOL MISS WRITES ESSAY TWENTIETH YEAR CHEYENNE THE STRUGGLE OF THE NEGRO FOR SURVIVAL IN THE NORTH. DuBois says "That the negro does not want to bleach his soul in the blood of white Americanism, for the negro knows that the negro blood has a message for the world. He wants instead to make it possible for man to be both an American and a negro, without being cursed and spat upon by his fellows and without having the doors of Opportunity closed roughly in his face. When the negro is asked to state his chief complaint against the South and the reasons for his migration to the North, the answer comes promptly: "I cannot get justice in your courts, I am politically disfranchised. I find a lack of good school facilities. I find Jim Crow cars and by that I mean separate cars in which the negroes have to ride and the whites may ride if they choose, and lastly, I am in constant danger of physical violence." Then this question follows, Why do you go North? and his answers is "Because I enjoy better educational facilities and enjoy comparative freedom." But while the negro has the above-mentioned advantages he is nevertheless terribly handicapped; he is held back and cannot rise to position which his capabilities would entitle him if not for his color. This causes much discouragement among the negroes who, after fitting themselves for life, find their opportunities cut off. To illustrate: "An electric company in New York sent out a communication some months ago stating that they could use some bright, clean, industrious boys in their business and thus aid them to learn the trade." W. L. Buckley, colored principal of school No. 80, New York, wrote a note to them asking if they would give employment to a colored boy. Their answer was this: "No colored boy, however promising, is wanted." Is not that discouraging, and all because of the color. Again: --- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY MARCH 20 1909 A colored engineer who ran out of Indianapolis, and who met with much favor from the company, was forced to give up his position because his life was in constant danger from the employes who did not like him because he was a negro. But there are many in the North who give the negro the place he can earn, despite the fact that there are discriminations made against him. The unions rarely admit a colored man, yet the Meddle Steel company overpowers this and employs the largest number—equal to a thousand. They take these men unskilled and unapprenticed and make them foremen and give them other good positions as soon as their skill permits. These men do not drink and they have their own bank accounts. The progress made by this race during the last 45 years is a marvelous one. Men and women are occupying responsible positions in Chicago, New York and elsewhere, among whom are plumbers, nurses, teachers, electricians, musicians, patternmakers, artists, doctors, editors, clergymen, scientific men and bankers. The plumbers and many others are employing their own colored help. George A. Harris, a patternmaker, receives the highest salary in this business. He graduated at the head of 50 members in his class. Among the most prominent men of this country are: Henry Tanner, a famous painter, whose picture, "The Annunciation," recently captured the N. A. Harris prize at Chicago and was later, with another of his pictures, purchased by the French government and now hangs at Luxomberg. A. Scarborough, whose Greek text is used at Harvard and many other colleges today. Judge Church-Terrell is a judge in the District of Columbia and his wife is a lecturer and a member of the Oberlin College board of trustees, William T. Vernon is register of the United States treasury. There are also 297 men in retail business. The negroes own over three million dollars' worth of property. In Boston they own the Astor, a hotel of 250 rooms, and telephone service in each room and all other modern improvements. There are also 200 magazines and papers published by the negro and schools, universities and beautiful edifices of worship are constantly being erected by them. And all this from a race but 45 years out of slavery and that slavery covering a period of over 200 years. Many broad-minded people are working to give the negro his proper place in the world. Miss Eaton of Boston, Mrs. Parker Wellesey of Chicago, both white, have devoted their lives to the negro and his welfare and much settlement work is also being carried on. The Colored Woman's Club of Chicago have organized a day nursery to take care of the poor unfortunate children whose parents are unable to care for them. George A. Peabody, a London banker, but born in Danvers, Mass., gave $3,500,000 as a fund to educate the negro and the Slater fund of $1,000,000 is also used in this way. It is often stated that if the negro is given equality in the business line he will demand it socially. But this is not true. I do not think there are many negroes in the United States who desire such. "He is looking for the place where he will be judged as man." It is a tremendous struggle. The struggle of a backward race with the swift-moving civilization of an advanced one. No one can look upon it without profound fascination. Port Arthur and the battles of Manchuria, bloody as they were, are not to be compared with this, for the negro is not fighting Russians, but Americans, English, Germans, Irish, Jews, Slavs and all those who make up this nation. How long this struggle is to last no one knows, but we hope before long to take our place beside our white brothers and as men and women push on in the swift race, consoling ourselves with the noble thought of Napoleon: "Ability is but of little account without opportunity." FIVE CENTS A COPY Inaugural Festivities. Negroes Proud of Part Taken in Great Parade—High Social Functions Surpassed All Former Occasions. Honor for Senator Foraker. The colored man, looking at the Taft inaugural procession in Washington as it wended its way along beautiful Pennsylvania avenue on the 4th of March, had cause to feel proud of the part taken in the inauguration of an American president by the members of his race. As the long line of march passed the faces of colored men appeared, some wearing the brilliant military uniforms, some attired in the conventional garbs of civilians and others the uniforms worn by band musicians. The Philippine Constabulary band, under the direction of Captain Loving, was one of the attractions not only of the inaugural parade, but of the entire inaugural week. Besides taking a leading part in the parade this band rendered the music at the two grand inaugural concerts given at the pension office. The District militia had six colored companies, under the command of Major Arthur Brooks. Major Brooks has been confidential man to several secretaries of war and went with Mr. Taft's Philippine party. He has recently been appointed confidential messenger to President Taft. He has already entered upon his new duties, which are very responsible. The civic division of the parade had as marshal of the colored division Dr. E. D. Williston and as chief of staff Hon. William T. Vernon. The colored division was subdivided into three brigades. Colonel Perry Carson was marshal of the first brigade, Hon. J. Milton Turner was marshal of the second brigade and Recorder W. L. Marshall of the third brigade. Among the visiting clubs were the Republican club of Richmond, Va., the Wibecan Republican club of Brooklyn and the Israel W. Durham club of Philadelphia. The Jenkins Orphange band of Charleston, S. C., was also in this division. The colored battalion of the District militia made a most creditable showing. The officers and the enlisted men seemed to be drilled almost to the point of perfection. Another attractive feature of the parade was the Colored High School cadets. Students of the M street high school and of Armstrong Manual Training school made an important High School's Good Fortune. Professors J. H. Lockerman and M. A. Hawkins, Principal and Vice Principal of a Baltimore Institution, Most Capable Educators. Professor Joseph H. Lockerman, who was recently appointed acting principal of the Baltimore high and training school, at Baltimore, succeeding Dr. J. H. N. Waring, is one of the most capable educators in the state. He is widely read and is said to be as much at home in the languages and sciences as in his specialty, mathematics. He is a Maryland by birth and received the rudiments of his education in the public schools of Caroline county. Professor Lockerman completed his education at Morgan college, which he afterward supple- A. B. MENTED with a special course in the languages and mathematics. As a member of the faculty at Morgan college he had charge of collegiate instruction in higher mathematics, in which position he displayed rare ability and accuracy as a teacher. The school receives no serious setback in its management, as the acting principal is well known in educational circles as a man of excellent training and ripe experience in the class room and well acquainted with student life. Mason A. Hawkins, the acting vice principal of the school, was educated at Morgan college, where as a student he made the highest average of any student in his class, for which he received the Newton-Sawyer scholarship prize. Professor Hawkins afterward entered Harvard university, from which he graduated in the class of 1901 with the degree of bachelor of arts. Since his graduation he has taken special courses at Johns Hopkins university and at the Berlitz school of languages. He has also attended three summer sessions at Columbia university in the departments of Latin and German. Upon the completion of his studies at Columbia university the coming summer he will receive the degree of master of arts. Mr. Hawkins has always taken a THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. deep interest in the social life of Baltimore and has given his assistance to many enterprises having in view the betterment of his people. He is secretary of the board of directors of Provident hospital, a member of the board of directors and chairman of the executive committee of the Young Men's Christian association, secretary of the citizens' committee which is striving to raise $50,000 for Morgan college, president of the Scientific and Sociological society of Baltimore and is connected with several national Negro organizations. The race need be proud of having two such able men as Professors Lockerman and Hawkins at the head of the Baltimore High and Training school. STICK TO THE FARM. Advice to Negro Farmers In Conference at Tuskegee Institute. At the conclusion of the eighteenth annual Negro farmers' conference recently held at Tuskegee institute, Alabama, the following declaration was adopted: "As representatives of 700,000 negro farmers of Alabama and of the south we urge our people to assist in the enforcement of the laws against the liquor traffic wherever they exist. As a people we know the evils of the liquor business, and we should not fall into the habit because the laws are made by some one else of shirking our responsibility in seeing that they are enforced. "To Negro farmers throughout the south we say: Stick to the farm. The cities have proved a curse to too many of our race. In spite of hardships and special difficulties we are making progress on the soil. In Alabama alone Negro farmers paid taxes ten years ago on $7,000,000 worth of property. Now they pay taxes on over $15,000,000. "To all our people in the rural districts we say: Stand by the rural schools. Do not let your children wander away to the cities because they cannot get proper schooling at home. We can improve our home schools. In a single year the farmers of one county of Alabama contributed $3,000 from their own pockets to lengthen their school terms and improve their school buildings." More Trained Workers. The report of the Philadelphia Domestic Training Institute For Young Afro-Americans, at Philadelphia, recently made public, showed that for the first six months of its existence 184 young men and women had secured work in pleasant homes and with few exceptions were giving satisfaction to their employers. The demand for trained help, says the report, is in excess of the supply, and many applications for trained workers have been refused on that account. This institution is in need of funds to carry on its work, but will not solicit outside aid. Plans have been made for the sale of food prepared at the institute to secure the necessary funds. Tourists Select Negro Church. The fashionable tourists who put up recently at the various hotels in Augusta, Ga., decided that their spiritual needs could be best conserved by attending the Tabernacle Baptist church, of which the Rev. Charles T. Walker, LL. D., is pastor. Dr. Walker, who was formerly pastor of the Mount Olivet Baptist church, New York city, is widely known as the "Black Spurgeon" on account of his eloquence, logic and fluency of speech when preaching. Good Report From Kentucky. Free Public Library, Boon for Louisville Citizens, Alds School System—Beneficent Gift of Mr. Carnegie—Rev. Blue, Chief Distributer. The colored branch of the Louisville (Ky.) free public library is the only one of its kind in the United States. It was opened Sept. 23, 1905, in temporary quarters until a new library building could be erected. The cornerstone of the new library building was laid May 10, 1907, and the building opened for business Oct. 29, 1908. This library has been a success from the very beginning. The building is 45 by 75 feet, one story and basement, of brick and stone trimmings. On the main floor opposite the entrance is the delivery desk. To the left are the librarian's office and children's room. To the right are the adult room and women's department. In the basement are the lecture room, two class rooms, furnace room and storage room. The building was erected and furnished at a cost of $35,000, the money for the building having been donated by Mr. Andrew Carnegie. The building is well arranged and is a model of beauty and convenience. Among the special features of the library are four library stations in distant parts of the city, teachers' collections in five of the city schools, three reading clubs and a weekly story hour. The colored people of Louisville are justly proud of their library, as is shown by the following statistical report for 1908: Number of books in library..... 7,000 Number of visitors..... 48,714 Number of books issued..... 41,192 Number of persons holding borrowers' cards..... 4,455 The library is in charge of Rev. Thomas F. Blue as chief librarian, with two very capable assistants, Mrs. 4 REV. T. F. BLUE. Rachel D. Harris and Miss Elizabeth I. Finney. Rev. Thomas F. Blue is a native of Farmville, Va. He is a graduate of Hampton institute and of the Richmond Theological seminary, which is now a part of the Virginia Union university at Richmond, Va. While a student in the theological seminary Rev. Blue's fondness for and acquaint- PAGE. 10. ance with books were recognized, and he was put in charge of the school's reading room. He has the distinction of having been one of the few colored Young Men's Christian association army secretaries. He was with the Sixth Virginia regiment of soldiers during the Spanish-American war. After the close of the war he was called to the secretaryship of the colored department, Young Men's Christion association of Louisville, being the first secretary to give his entire time to the work of the Louisville association and up to the time of his resignation to take charge of the library work rendered faithful service. Rev. Blue is still active in the work of the Young Men's Christian association, being a member of the committee of management and treasurer of the association. His work as a librarian is highly commended by the citizens of Louisville. Gallian Fishermen's Good Work. An important meeting of the Worcester branch of Galilean Fishermen was held recently at the residence of Mr. C. H. Weeks, Worcester, Mass., at which Dr. J. Francis Lee of Cambridge, Mass., presided. The committee on new work reported that negotiations were under way for the purchase of a building in Boston to be used as an industrial home for women. The committee on a home for the aged to be opened in Worcester reported favorably. New Elks Home. Members of Enterprise lodge, No. 52. I. B. P., Order of Elks of the World, recently dedicated their new home on North Front street, Columbus, O. Grand Exalted Ruler B. A. Howard was master of ceremonies. It was a full dress affair and was attended by a large number of invited guests. Officers Installed and Plans Made For Memorial Day Union Reception. The following officers of the Mrs. Roger Wolcott Auxiliary garrison, No. 18, Army and Navy Union, were recently installed at Everett, Mass., by Commander G. Fred Seamons of Peter Salem garrison, Army and Navy Union, who was made special installing officer and inspector for the occasion by Lady Commander Catharine Hulbert and was assisted by Chaplain Comrade M. C. Simpson, who was national officer of the day: Lady commander, M. Cravath Simpson; vice commander, M. M. Banks; deputy commander, O. J. Armstead; adjutant, M. T. Wright; paymaster, F. M. W. Alexander; quartermaster, M. B. Williams; lady officer of the day, B. Crosswhite; guard, M. King; chaplain, J. Johnson; sentinel, G. A. Stewart; color bearer, L. Hicks, and picket, G. Stokes. After the installation Lady Commander M. C. Simpson made an inspiring address which was punctuated with patriotic flights of oratory. The installing officers also made brief addresses which were very timely. The collation which followed the speeches was enjoyed by all present. The auxiliary has mapped out its work for the year and is now completing its arrangements for a general military Easter reception in conjunction with Peter Salem garrison to raise funds for Memorial day. The auxiliary has the honor of being the only one of its kind in Massachusetts belonging to the Army and Navy Union to be granted the use of the name of an ex-governor of the state by the special order of the inspector general. Mrs. Roger Wolcott, widow of the late ex-Governor Wolcott of Massachusetts, is very much interested in the auxiliary and willingly donated the national colors and regalia for the use of its members. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. KEEP CHOCQLATE ON HAND. It is a Dainty That Can Be Put to No End of Uses. The storeroom of every good housekeeper should contain a goodly supply of chocolate. It is full of nutriment, fattening in quality and can be developed into all sorts of dishes tempting to the eye and the palate alike. Nervous, thin children should be allowed to drink all the chocolate they want. In making chocolate to drink, about four ounces of the unsweetened chocolate should be allowed for each quart of milk, and it should be sweetened with brown sugar rather than white. Boil down until it has the consistency of cream, and just before removing from the fire flavor with vanilla. For afternoon tea for grown-ups it is well to add a liberal dash of port wine as a flavoring. The chocolate should not boil after flavoring has been added, as the heat will kill it. Chocolate Pancakes-This makes a delicious dessert for luncheon and one that is quickly prepared. Mix together two eggs, yolks and whites, with two heaping tablespoons of sweetened chocolate that has been grated (if unsweetened brand is used, then the mixture must be sweetened to taste), half cup of milk, half cup of flour. Beat all together well. Fry like ordinary pancakes, brown on both sides and roll them, lay on a hot platter, sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve immediately. Hot Chocolate Sauce for Vanilla Ice Cream.—In a porcelain saucepan boil together one cup of water and half a cup of granulated sugar. Let it boil for five minutes and then stir in slowly five tablespoons of grated chocolate that has been dissolved in a gill of rich milk or thin cream. Stir until thick and smooth, remove from the fire, add vanilla flavoring to taste, beat thoroughly and serve. MADE FROM THE "LEFT OVERS." Chickenette Is Something Original to Serve for Luncheon. An original luncheon dish made from the "left overs" from a chicken dinner, easily prepared, inexpensive and delicious. The following recipe provides sufficient quantity for three adults; Take enough crisp celery to make a cupful when chopped fine, using a few of the green leaves for the purpose of coloring; one medium-sized onion, chopped or thinly sliced; boil slowly the celery and onion for 40 minutes in two cups of sweet milk; then add about one cupful of odd bits of cold broiled or roasted chicken, three or four tablespoonfuls of chicken gravy and a little dressing; half a cup of cold boiled rice, well separated; two medium sized ripe tomatoes; half a cup of mashed turnip; season to taste, using cayenne pepper; stew (or bake) slowly for 15 minutes, and serve hot. Pork Cake. Three pounds of fat pork chopped very fine. Pour over it six cups boiling water and let it stand while preparing other ingredients. Three pounds seeded raisins chopped, two pounds dates cut in small pieces after removing stones, one pound citron cut in pieces, three teaspoons ground nutmeg, two teaspoons ground cloves, three teaspoons cassia, three teaspoons soda, nine cups sugar, $ 3 \frac{1}{2} $ quarts flour. Mix with hands in a bread raiser and bake in two large sheet iron biscuit trays. Bake very slowly and cool in pans. Cut in loaves, wrap in paraffin paper and keep in a cool place. It seems rather a large quantity to make at one time, but it doesn't last long, for everyone wants some of it and the last is always better than the first. Washing Brushes. It is best not to put one's heavy backed silver brush into common use for the hair. At least not in cities where the soot-laden atmosphere leaves a coating of itself on the hair each day. This is caught by the bristles of the brush, which makes it necessary to wash it at least twice a week if not oftener. This constant washing ruins a brush that has an expensive back. Therefore a brush should be used that has an ordinary wooden handle and back with good stiff bristles to withstand the softening action of water and borax. Apple Sauce with Goose. Two cups of white stock, a bay leaf, a level spoonful of salt, and a pinch of white pepper, added for seasoning. Let simmer 20 minutes and then strain. Pare and core as many tart apples as are desired, place them in a granite pan, and pour stock over them, then cover and simmer until the apples are tender; remove them from the stock and set aside to cool. Blanch two cups of chestnuts, chop fine and add to the stock, with five teaspoonfuls of currant jelly and a trifle of paprika. Set the apples in a pan and pour over them the prepared stock. Bake in the oven 20 minutes. Spiced Stuffing for Fowl. To one quart of grated bread crumbs add two cups of finely chopped celery and a good half-cup of melted butter; season with salt and pepper to taste. Have the fowl well washed and drained before dressing and sprinkle the inside of the fowl with ginger, which removes all odors and leaves a nice flavor to the meat. Never overpack fowl when dressing, as it causes the dressing to become soggy. Pork tenderloins may be dressed the same way and are delicious. Blueing Clothes. When necessary to blue clothes in hard water add one cup of sweet milk to tubful of water and it will prevent the clothes from becoming unevenly blued. The Shy Child. The first important step toward helping a child of this kind is to give her self-confidence, even if you run the risk of making her vain and conceited. She needs a little wholesome praise to make her feel that her playmates will like her. Make her look as attractive as possible, and tell her that she is attractive; see that she is trained in all the arts and graces that will make her attractive; send her to dancing school. As she gets older see that she excels in games, in athletics, in anything that will give her confidence in herself when she associates with her schoolmates. If she is going away to school or college give her lessons on the banjo and guitar so that she can join the banjo and guitar clubs. If she has any talent of any kind by which she can entertain her friends help her to develop it. She must be taught to feel that she can help others to have a good time and that consequently she is welcome among them. Once that feeling is established the battle is won.—Harper's Bazar Western University THE LEADING EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION FOR NEGROES IN THE WEST.

Chamberlain, presi- dent of the Massachusetts board of trade, in a speech recently declared that Boston could be made the lead- ing commercial city of the world. “It is America’s nearest seaport to Eu- rope by 150 miles,” he said, “and the possibility lies through the con- struction of an inland waterway from Albemarle, N. C., to Boston. To do this you must reopen and enlarge the Carroll-Albemarle canal, thus connect- ing the Chesapeake bay; reopen and enlarge the Delaware bay; reopen and enlarge the Delaware and Raritan ca- nal, connecting with the Raritan bay. Then you may go across New York harbor, through Long Island sound, until you get to Narragansett bay. The last step is the construction of the Taunton river-Brocton Fore river- Quincy canal, and the problem is solved.” Houses Built of Meerschaum. The town of Vallecas, Spain, is al- most entirely built of meerschaum. Vallecas has on its outskirts great quarries of a meerschaum too coarse for pipe making, and a meerschaum- built town is the result—an ivory- white town that shines in the Span- ish sun. In Morocco meerschaum {is so plentiful that they use it, when soft and fresh, for soap. It gives a plen- tiful and cleansing lather. Ekdis- chehr, in Asia Minor, supplies the world’s meerschaum. There are 2,000 mines, large and small, there, and 8,000 Kurd and Persian meerschaum miners work day and night in them. The meerschaum comes from the earth yellow, and turns white after ten days’ bleaching in the sux Great Man's Bashfuiness. On the eve of leaving London for Canada Mrs. Brooke, who wrote “The History of Emily Montague,” the first novel written in Canada, gave a fare well party, Hannah More, Johnson and Boswell being of the company. Dr. Johnson was obliged to leave early and apparently departed after wishing his hostess health and happiness. Shortly after a servant whispered to Mrs. Brooke that a gentleman was waiting below to speak to her.

Upon the occasion of his memorable visit to Gettysburg the president cut with his own hands a cane, which he afterward prasented to his war secre- tary, Edwin M. Stanton, by whom it was naturally highly prized. This cane is now in the possession of Mr. Jahncke, president of the Jahncke Navigation Company of New Orleans, who married a granddaughter of Sec- Tetary Stanton. It has a gold top with an engraved inscription, which was probably placed on the treagured sou- venir by Secretary Stanton.—National Magazine. Tea Consumption Increasing, The United.

Sister Ellen Johnson: We feel that a child’s sorrow for the loss of a beloved mother cannot be assuaged by the common-place con dolences, yet we must write a few lines to assure you of our heartfelt sympathy in your grief. There is one’ thing, however, that should soften the sharpness of a child’s agony under such a bereave- ment, and that is the reflection that your mother was pure and guileless, and that “of such is the kingdom of heaven.” It is well with your mother. Much sin and woe has she escaped; it is a treasure laid up in the upper world, and the gates through which she has passed to peace and joy un- speakable are left open so that you, in due time, may follow. Let this be your consolation. One by one earth's ties are broken, as we see our love decay, And the hopes so fondly cherished, brighten but to pass away; One by one our hopes grow stronger, as we near the shining shore, |For we know across the river, walt the loved ones gone before. RESOLVED, That the members of the Free Will Club tender their heart- felt sympathy. RESOLVED, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to Sister Johnson, and entered in our local papers, and also spread upon the minutes of our club, Your sisters in Christ, MISS BIRDIE REESE. MRS. HATTIE SMITH. MISS ROSA SHEALY. PEOPLE'S SUNDAY ALLIANCE- “TEMEPERANCE SUNDAY"— EXCELLENT PROGRAM. There has never been a finer, more scholarly, more inspirational, as well as such a complete mass of historical and racial data as did Mr. J. H. Chil- dress present Sunday to the Alliance. His vast and unlimited researches easily foretold at the ouset his famil- larity with his subject. He was no disappointment and was all and more than was sald of him in the papers. His “Literature of the Race” certain- ly ought to be published for an in- spiration of the infant negro now in the cradle. Everybody sang his praises when he finished. Mrs. J. B. Moore charmed the audience with her well- train musical voice. The Temperance program is as follows: “Temperance Stnda”’—Vocal solo, Mrs. Henri Pinn; paper, Miss Gertie Nichols of Shorter; cornet solo, Mr. Clyde Andrews; paper, Mrs. Elmira Whizzar of Zion Baptist church; mu- sic; address, Attorney John Hipp; musical selection, Miss Bernice San- ders of Ward Chapel. March 28—Vo- ca! solo, Mr. Harry Gilmore; address, “hssentials of American Citizenship,” Hon. James M. Brinson, deputy attor- ney general; literary selection, Miss Cora Karr; vocal solo, Willie Burns; literary selection, Cornelius Rice; pi- ‘ano solo, Miss Rhoda Anderson. LA JUNTA, COLO., NEWS. Mr. L. Brown of Rocky Ford was a La Junta visitor Sunday. Mrs. J. W. Winchester was the hostess at an elaborate tea Sunday evening. Those present were: Mrs. Green, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Lenex, Mr. Brown and Miss Ida Davis of Rocky Ford. Miss Beatrice Tyler is on the sick list. Mrs. J. P. Watson is making her presence felt in La Junta among both white and black. She is honorary president of the N. U. G. Club and has been much help to the club. She has charge of the jail work of the city W. C. T. U. and has organized an L. T. L. for the children. The Woman's Mite Missionary Society, under her guardianship, is doing excellent work, as is the Dunbar Literary Society, of which she is president. The papers she presents, the addresses she makes and the help she gives in every way are always a source of inspiration to all who hear her. We rejoice to have her among us. Mr. Arthur McKinney is on the sick list. After the literary on last Friday every member present produced from some mysterious place a package, which they brought forward and laid on a table at Rev. Watson's side. It was a joyous surprise and the givers enjoyed it, I think, more than the receiver. Let the good work go on. Mrs. H. A. Badgett has been elected delegate from the N. U. G.

Johnson always has something good THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. in store for those who will come and see. The Sunday school of the A. M. E. church is making preparations for Easter. The supper that was given by Mrs. V. Flemings and Mrs. B. C. Choteow, at the residence of Mrs. Choteow, for the benefit of the A. M. E. church, was far in the lead of anything given in the city this year. Rev. J. H. Brown was called to Pueblo Tuesday to assist Rev. J. S. Payne in his revival. He expects to be back by Saturday. Mrs. Jason Wilson of 628 C street is very ill with a rising in her head. Her many friends wish for her a speedy recovery. Mrs. H. Allen is confined to her bed and has been for three weeks, with appendicitis. She is slowly improving at this writing. We wish for her an early restoration to her former good health. Miss Bettie Boyer is suffering with tonsilitis. Miss Boyer has been leader of our mission choir and we miss her sweet voice. We hope and pray for her recovery. On Sunday night, March 7th, at Watson's Chapel, A. M. E. Mission, a sacred concert was given and was much enjoyed by all. The quartette, composed of the following, Messrs. Geo. Cross, Jason Wilson, Albert Compnext and Geo. Kelly, rendered sweet and beautiful music, jubilee songs that seemed to take one back to former days, also up-to-date songs and recitations. A silver offering was taken after the concert, which amounted to $9.10. Mrs. W. H. Prince, wife of our P. E., has been in Salida for a month or more and has been holding services for us. We lost our pastor, Rev. H. H. Dent, because of his wife's ill health. Sister Prince has proven a missionary indeed. On last Sunday night we raised in a club rally the sum of $50 to be paid on our lots. Our mission has taken on new life. The reports of clubs are as follows: Mr. Wm. Watson, No. 1, $3.65; Club No. 2, Mrs. Freeman Betters, captain, $28; Club No. 3, Mrs. W. H. Prince, $12.40. Mrs. M. G. Martinez entertained Mrs. W. H. Prince at a five-course dinner Sunday. Mrs. Maggie Walker has returned to Salida after a 10 days' trip to Denver and reports having a delightful time. Mr. and Mrs. William Boyer were visitors in Salida Monday and Tuesday. We are always glad to have them. The beautiful residence of Mrs. Freeman Betters was a scene of beauty Monday evening. She entertained at a seven-course dinner in honor of Mrs. W. H. Prince and Mrs. Lena Boyer. The color scheme was pink and green. The center of the dining table was a bank of pink carnations and smilax and maiden hair ferns, and amid beautiful sparkling cut glass. Shaded lights of pink and green threw a mellow light over all, making a very pretty scene. Seated as guests were Mrs. W. H. Prince, Mrs. Lena Boyer, Mrs. Magnolia Walker, Mrs. Lola Compnext, Mrs. William Watson, Mrs. Laura Officer. A pink carnation was given each lady as a souvenir of the evening. A most enjoyable evening was spent and all voted Mrs. Freeman Betters a veritable queen of entertainers. The presiding elder, Rev. W. H.

The board of directors of the colored men's branch of the Young Men's Christian association at Baltimore have under consideration plans for widening the scope and usefulness of the association. There are hundreds of young men of the race in the city who are not members of the association, and it is for the especial purpose of reaching them that these new improvements are to be made. The association started about fifteen years ago in rented quarters, but five years later purchased a suitable building in which to carry on its work. The new alterations when completed will include a gymnasium, bowling alleys, swimming pools and other conveniences for physical exercise. A large assembly room and rooms for educational classes will also be attached. Secretary W. F. De Bardelaven has only been with the association a short time, but he has fully shown his capacity and fitness for the Young Men's Christian association work. LADIES' TAILORING.

Never before has Washington's colored population carried out such elaborate and perfect social festivities as were those during inauguration week. Visitors were carried away with enthusiasm over the many functions which had been arranged for them, and Washington once again asserted her claim as the first city of the land as far as society is concerned. The week's social festivities began with a dance by the fashionable Monocan club Wednesday night. Next came the banquet of the famous Mu- M. E. H. MRS. WILLIAM T. VERNON, SEEN AT INAUGURAL RECEPTION. solit club, on the night of the 4th. The great inaugural reception, generally known as the "colored inaugural ball," on Friday night, and the presentation of a silver loving cup to Senator Foraker on Saturday night were the leading events of interest. The following inscription was engraved upon the cup: "Presented to Joseph Benson Foraker at Washington, D. C., March 6, 1909, by Colored Citizens." On the base of the cup are inscribed the words "25th Infantry." The cup has three arms, and on each arm the letters of the discharged companies, "B," "C" and "D," are inscribed. On the back of the cup is inscribed that eloquent and effective passage of the senator's speech, "They ask no favors because they are Negroes, but only for justice because they are men." The money to pay for the cup was raised by popular subscription. The names of the contributors were placed upon parchment and given to Senator Foraker along with the cup. there were dozens of smaller events, including "at homes," whist parties, musicals, cotillions and dances by private families. At the Monohan and at the inaugural reception some of the gowns worn may be aptly described as beautiful, some even gorgeous. The wives and daughters of the nation's noted colored men in business, professional and political walks were there, becomingly and fashionably gowned. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORAD Political Chat at the Capital. The colored men of political leanings in Washington are during these days discussing the passage of the Brownsville bill by the senate and the house. The stand taken by Democrats like Hobson, Sulzer and Cockran in supporting the measure has called forth much favorable comment from the colored people. Of course the Republicans are given the lion's share of the THE LADY OF THE MIDDLE-SECTION MRS. W. H. CLIFFORD, SEEN AT INAUGURAL RECEPTION. MRS. W. H.

Terrell, who recently became a municipal judge, is receiving many congratulations for this deserved recognition of his legal attainments. He was formerly designated as a justice of the peace, but now he is a full fledged judge. The resignation of Dr. Crum is also the topic of much political gossip. Every one thought that the South Carolinian was preparing for a long siege. When the papers announced his resignation there was somewhat of consternation and expressions of great surprise. OLIVER RANDOLPH. Co-operative Musicale. The musical and literary exercises given recently by the choir of St. Mark's M. E. church, in West Fifththird street, New York city, were under the auspices of the Floral Circle of the church. The choir was led by Professor Dean, with Miss E. B. Magnan as accompanist. Mrs. G.

The observance of Peter Ogden day by members of the Odd Fellows' fraternity of Greater New York at Murray Hill lyceum recently was one of the greatest celebrations in the history of founders' day. The Frederick Douglass lodge had charge of the arrangements and exercises.

Not so very long ago when a certain musical comedy company was in town a well known youth of the city was in a very hard way. No one exactly knew the cause of the soulful looks that he emitted on occasion, but he kept it no secret that he went to the theater as much as every night in the week to see the same show. Of course no one on earth could keep a secret forever, especially a lovelorn youth. And accordingly, with great air of mystery, he took somebody into his confidence. But all the same he told it as though he were proud of it. Yes, the great secret was out. He was desperately infatuated with one of the leading sopranos of the musical comedy company. So far so well. But the worst was yet to come. He hadn't met the object of his adoration yet. No. To be sure, he couldn't think of waiting at the stage door with the rest of the Johnnies and ask her to take supper with him. No, indeed. That couldn't be thought of. But he had been so bold as to send her several bunches of American Beauties at ten bucks throw with little notes inclosed. But, worse luck, she hadn't seen fit to answer the notes. So, coining to the point of his long preamble, could his friend do anything for him? Why certainly, that was what friends were for. He would introduce him to her that very night. Lifted on the wave of ecstasy, the lovesick swain took his friend to dinner and afterward to the theater. Then after the show they waited in front of the stage entrance until the divinity should appear. It seemed hours, but at last they saw her coming down the alleyway. The lovesick one's heart nearly stopped beating and then he saw his friend step up to the fair one. "Miss X——," he heard him say. "I would like to have you meet my friend Mr. A——" "I am very glad to meet you, Mr. A——," she said, giving him her hand. It was done now and still he wasn't too paralyzed to murmur some appropriate greeting, when—what was that she was saying as his friend had started away? "But who is going to introduce you?" "Oh," said the accommodating friend, "Bobby is the one who wanted to meet you; I don't."—Washington Star. HISTORIC NAMES AT CAPITAL. Washington Contains Many Descendants of Famous Men. Washington fairly buzzes with great historic names, and one might think that time had turned backward to hear the solemn announcements at the official levees. There is one bearer of a great name in Washington who has been so modest that only latterly have people begun to realize exactly who he is. This is Baron Germain de Stael-Holstein, great-grandson of the famous Mme. Anna Louise Necker de Stael, author, patriot and philosopher. The baron is second secretary of the Russian embassy, and lives the quiet life of a student. He is almost middle aged, but it still a bachelor. Though he has inherited all the mental brilliancy which distinguished his THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. great ancestress he has none of her social talents. Baron de Stael-Holstein mingles in the gay throng just enough to fulfill his obligations, and the remainder of his days is passed in reading and enjoying music. He is fair and of medium height and not unlike the most famous woman of modern times in appearance. The children of Mme. de Stael by her first unhappy marriage were early separated from her, and the father of the present Russian diplomat left Sweden and joined his fate and fortune with the Muscovite empire. He became high in councils of state, as no doubt will his son. For Russian diplomacy moves in grades, like the military life of this country. White House Renovated. When William Howard Taft steps into the White House at noon on the 4th of March as the new president of the United States of America, he will find a model home equipped with every modern convenience; that is what other presidents have never enjoyed. Before the election of President Roosevelt few changes had been made in the White House since the days of John Quincy Adams, when it was rebuilt after being fired by the marauding British troops, only the walls being left standing. The executive mansion, as it was called before the advent of Mr. Roosevelt—he dubbed it officially "The White House"—was the first public building erected at the seat of government. The architect was James Hoban, who drew his plans closely after those of the seat of the duke of Leinster, near Dublin, Ireland. George Washington, himself, selected the site, laid the corner stone on October 13, 1792, and lived to see the building completed. John Adams, however, was the first president to occupy it, which he did in 1800.—From "New Home of Mr. Taft," in Technical World Magazine. No License Gaining in Ohio. Of the 62 Ohio counties which have so far voted on the liquor license question, 55 have gone "dry." These 55 counties cover about two-thirds of the state's area, and include nearly one-half of the population, but few of them have any large cities. Twenty-six counties are yet to vote under the new county option law. Substance and Shadow Just before Elihu Root entered the Roosevelt cabinet as secretary of state, says the Hartford Courant, a friend wrote to him: "Why not wait three years and get the substance instead of taking the shadow now?" Mr. Root wrote back: "I have always thought that the opportunity to do something worth doing was the substance and the trying to get something was the shadow." Royalty in Trade. King Peter of Servia owns a barber shop, owns a patent medicine and conducts a motor car agency in his capital. The reigning prince of Lippe-Detmold deals in butter and eggs, while a prosperous brick factory swells his profits. The king of Wurtemberg is the proprietor of two hotels in his kingdom, and they add $50,000 a year to his revenue. Bargain Notice. "Our feather beds are marked down."—Cornell_Widow. Miss Alastenia Eberle, the New York girl who is the youngest exhibitor in the Metropolitan museum, has just brought back some wonderful results of her studies of child life. Miss Eberle has made the street urchins of the city, particularly those of the East side, look as if they were still ready to run and shout, though her clever fingers have modeled them into statuettes. The little bronze in the Metropolitan museum is Kipling's boy Mowgli, but those who know say that some of Miss Eberle's more recent efforts excel this wonderfully lifelike bit of work. Electricity on Shipboard. At a recent shipbuilding exposition held in Germany the greater part of the exhibits related to the use of electricity on shipboard, and a large number of new and interesting devices were shown for the first time. One of the features of the electrical building was a chandelier which is thought to be the greatest thing of the kind ever constructed. It comprised a large octagonal arrangement of angle iron, with some decorative material interwoven, and from it were suspended 16 flaming arc lamps. The light from this great cluster was almost blinding Jarred Him. A burglar broke into a Brooklyn residence and got away with a 50-cent stickpin, a $15 watch and a purse containing three or four dollars in small change, completely overlooking a $100 roll of bunknotes in a jar right alongside of the articles stolen. When he read an account of the burglary in the next day's paper and learned what he had missed he sighed and sadly remarked: "Now wouldn't that jar you?" Immense Electrical Bakeoven. The largest electrical cooking device in actual use is an electrical bakeoven at Marseilles, France. This furnace stands six feet high and has two compartments, one above the other, each of which is heated by electric currents passing through resistance coils. The cost of baking 50 pounds of bread is less than 50 cents. Among its advantages are rapidity of action, even temperature, absence from fire dangers and precise control. Many Persons Color Blind. Forty men and four women a thousand are either wholly unable to perceive certain colors, or can recognize them only with difficulty. The defect may be hereditary and cause so little trouble as to pass undetected for 70 years. All attempts to overcome color blindness by educating the color sense have failed. There are three theories of color vision, all of which are based on the workings of the sensitive florils of the inner eye. Siek Pure Water Supply. The recent cholera epidemic at St. Petersburg has turned the attention of the municipality to considering the question of supplying the city with water from Lake Ladoga, one of the finest freshwater lakes in the world. The water is pure and the supply by gravitation, and the plan, if carried out, will prove of great value to the city. This lake is situated about nine miles from St. Petersburg and is the source of the river Neva. PAGE. 3. Office Phone Main 5595. Hours: 9 to 11 a. m., 1 to 4 p. m. 7 to 8 p. m. DR. P. E.

Almond Cheese with Currant Jam— Iowa Bun—Filbert Tart—Excellent Blanc Mange for Those Fond of Watermelon. Flour Dumplings.—Mix together one pint flour, two teaspoons baking powder, one teaspoon salt. Stir in gradually one scant cup of milk to make soft dough. Drop by spoonful into kettle. Contents must be boiling. Cover closely and boil ten minutes without lifting cover. Serve. Almond Cheese.—Moisten a square of cream cheese, add a little rich cream, and beat with a fork until smooth. Mix with it one-half cupful of chopped blanched almonds, and add lightly one cupful whipped cream. Serve cold with a scant teaspoon currant jam on each portion, with salad course. Iowa Bun.—Two large cups sugar, four eggs, one cup lard, cream them together, then add one pint sour milk, two teaspoonfuls of cinnamon, one and a half teaspoonfuls cloves, and two scant teaspoonfuls soda, pinch of salt, one cup raisins, one-half cup of currants, and four cups of flour. This makes a fine cake to serve with a hard sauce. Filbert Tart.—Pound one cupful of filbert kernels fine, with one large teaspoonful of orange flower water; mix one heaping cupful of powdered sugar, add gradually the yolks of eight eggs, well beaten; next add half a cupful of sifted flour; beat thoroughly. Lastly add the whites of the eggs beaten light with an egg whip. Stir all lightly together. Spread this mixture out into three well-greased granite pans of equal size. When done spread each layer with strawberry marmalade, chopped raisins and nuts. Top off with whipped and sweetened cream. Watermelon Blanc Mange.—Four tablespoonfuls of cornstarch, one quart of sweet milk, melt cornstarch with a little of the cold milk. Put balance of milk in double boiler and when it boils add the melted cornstarch with four tablespoons of granulated sugar. Cook until done and thick, pour contents into three bowls, placing a little more than one-half in one bowl, dividing balance equally in other two bowls. In the largest quantity add red fruit coloring and a teacupful of cleaned currants that have been cooked a few minutes and the water poured off and are thoroughly cooled, flavoring this portion with strawberry flavoring. Flavor the other two parts with lemon flavoring; to one of these two portions add green fruit coloring, rinse small molds or teacups in cold water, then pour in first the green, second the white, and last the pink. When cold and firm turn out in small glass dishes and serve with whipped cream. Creamed Oysters with Chicken. Take three tablespoons of flour and two of butter, put in baker, set on stove, and stir until butter and flour are thoroughly cooked; add one and one-half cups of sweet milk. Stir slowly until it thickens. Have one cup cold-boiled chicken cut in dice, one and one-half cups oysters, washed and drained, one cup celery cut into quarter-inch pieces; add celery to the sauce THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. and let cook slowly for 15 minutes, then add chicken and oysters; cover with one cup cracker crumbs mixed with two tablespoons of melted butter; put into oven and bake until brown. Garnish with sliced stuffed olives. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Use for Old Sewing Machine If you live where it is handy to get an old sewing machine without the top (and they can be had for about twenty-five or fifty cents) it will make a splendid washstand for the kitchen. Have all machinery removed, paint the stand a color to match the kitchen, cover the top with a board the size needed, and cover neatly with white oil cloth. The little drawers serve to hold tacks, hammer, iron holders, stove polishing brushes, etc. It is very useful and the stands without the machine drawers make excellent flower stands for heavy potted plants. Cure for Cucumbers In the evening peel, wash and cut them in round, thin slices with a green onion cut to pieces. If very large split them in two before slicing them. Make a strong brine with salt and a small quantity of water; pour it all over; let it stand in a cool place until next morning. Draw the water out, season with pepper, vinegar and oil. If you care for a pronounced taste of oil put it in first; if you fancy vinegar taste put the vinegar in first. Seasoned this way they will never hurt anyone. In Rome. The ingredients of a Roman holiday look pretty coarse to us. Their sports for instance. If Commodus and Nero and other leaders of thought in those days had been really up to the psychology of thrills, they would have formed their lions and gladiators into elevens, and thus set them against each other to some purpose. Likewise their feasts.

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."

Plans for Future Usefulness Discussed at Boston Meeting—Business Interests Merged—Headed by Miss Moor- man—fine Social Features. SRO UOURCH OF W OMe 5 UIUDS, WHICR is composed of the presidents and sec- retaries of local clubs, held a large public meeting recently at the Twelfth Street Buptist church, Boston, to dis- cuss ways and means by which they might better promote the club move ment amorg Afro-American women and at the same time Infuse new life into the members of the local sister- hood. They were fortunate in hav- ing as the principal speaker for the occasion Miss I. L. Moorman of Ja- maica, N. Y., who is easily the fore- most business woman of the race in this section of the northeast. She is the superintendent of the Brooklyn branch of the Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty company, president of the Metropolitan Business Women's club and treasurer of the Men's Business League of New York City, besides be- ing actively engaged in many other or- ganizations of a business, social or re ligious nature, «iss Moorman’s subject was inter- rogative—“What Do You Owe?’—from which she discussed and answered for her audience the many pertinent ques- tions of the day and showed conclu- sively what each woman owed to her- self, ber race, her home and sex and how to lay the foundation for business, education, social and religious advance ment more securely for the coming women who are to be the guiding her- alds of the next generation of their people. As head of the business de- partment of the Northeastern Federa- tion of Women’s Clubs and that of the National Association of Colored Wom- en's Clubs Miss Moorman represents thousands of organized women who are doing an effective work for the uplift of the women of the race fn all parts of the United States. The meeting was the most successful of {ts kind held {n Boston by women since the launching of the club move ment there several years ago. The National Association of Colored Wom. en's Clubs is represented officially by Miss Elizabeth C. Carter, Mrs. Booker T. Washington, Mrs, Addie W. Hun- ton, who is abroad studying the so- clological question until late In the fall; Mrs. L. C, Anthony, Mrs. Alice D. Carey, Mrs. Annie EB.

M, Cotton and Miss Roberta J. Dunbar. Before Miss Moorman's departure from Boston the council held a recep- tion and dance tn society ball, in the Rhodes building, which was a grand social event. The music for the occa- sion was conducted by Mr. Robert M. Johnson, who delighted the audience with many Inspiring selections, being himself possessed of gifted vocal powers. Master Walter Johnson was also at his best with violin selections, all of which made the meeting and ad- journment of the women’s council an event of both pleasure and profit. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. _ [The Gistechoods. “Are Represented We” TERT ae EON TSS ae Missouri and Kansas. ‘ Ben. BNeie 9DTC ‘Rare eee, © Oe ee eee fae ee ee ee | Missouri and Kansas, members of two Negro sisterhoods that exist in the United States. The orders are the Oblate Sisters of Providence, the moth- er house of which fs in Baltimore, and the Congregation of the Sisters of the Holy Family in New Orleans. There are about 200 members, The Oblate Sisters now number about ninety members. They conduct or- phanages and day schools in Balti- more, Normandy, Mo., St. Lonis and Leavenworth, Kan.; also a parochial schoo! in Washington and a day school in Havana, Cuba. They care for about 200 orphans of their race and are edu- cating about 500 Negro children. The order was founded by Father Joubert, a Frenchman, who had emi- grated to Haiti at the time of the reign of terror in France. The early part of the nineteenth century was marked by the arrival in the United States of many refugees from Haitt and Santo Domingo. Joubert was among these refugees. He landed at Baltimore, studied there for the priest- hood and finally was ordained. The chapel to which he was assigned was frequented principally by French speaking Catholics, both white and ‘black, There was in this church a lower chapel, in which worshiped many Negroes, mostly from Santo Do- | mingo. ' Father Joubert conceived the idea of forming a religious community of Negro women who would devote their lives to the education and service of their own people. After the formal plan of rule had been drawn up and the usual proba- tion undergone, on July 2, 1829, the order was established. On that day the first four sisters made their vows as Oblate Sisters of Providence. They at once opened a small school. Father Joubert governed the convent until his death, in 1843, being attended in his flness by Sister Mary Joseph, a ‘most remarkable woman and at ber death, in 1904, the oldest nun in the world. She was known to have reach- ed the age of 113. | The other order, the Sisters of the Holy Famfly, was organized in New Orleans, one of the strongholds of slavery, In the days when slavery was at its height. It was founded in 1842. by three women—Harriet Delisle of New Orleans, Juliette Gaudin of Cuba | and Miss Alicot of France—who had the encouragement of the church in their venture. There are branch houses of this or- der in Baton Rouge, Opelousas, Don- aldsonville, Galveston and Honduras, and the Sisterhood of the Holy Family has control of a home for the aged on Tonti street, of a home for orphan boys on St. Peter street and of St. John Berchman’s Asylum For Orphan Girls at the corner of Orleans and Bourbon streets, New Orleans. Besides this, they have carried out what always has been the main design of the sister- hood—the education of young girls of their race—and St. Mary’s academy, which is conducted by them, gives a thorough education to the children of the more prosperous among the Ne- A Pastor's Anniversary.

By special arrangements with an Eastern press syndicate, we are able to offer our readers from this time on, news features embracing the activities of the race all over the country. Read what our brethren are doing in brief, on pages two, seven and ten. The Democratic press of the state of Colorado, in commenting upon the present Legislature, has said in no uncertain terms that the Democratic party has gotten goods under false pretenses. With the legislative session about over, and nothing done to redeem the party pledges it does seem that the public's confidence has been imposed upon. With respect to the colored people of Colorado the situation is no better. From the time of the national convention here last summer, clear through the campaign, colored Democratic workers promised a real, sureenough, cross-my-heart-and-hope-to-die "square deal," if we would support that party in state and nation. A number of us were gulled into believing them and did as they asked. And what is the result? The very issue on which our votes were asked for the national ticket, the Brownsville matter, has been satisfactorily settled by a Republican Congress and a Republican president, over the opposition of Democratic members of Congress. Here in the state where the best we asked was fair legislation and proper consideration in appointments, for the first time we have been insulted with proposed legislation aiming to effect separate schools. The host of appointments has simmered down to one. We ask C. W. Buford and the others who lent themselves to this deception of the colored voters, what they have to say now! We are not questioning their good intentions, certainly we could not in the case of Mr. Buford, for he has been faithful to Democracy to our own knowledge when every consideration of personal advantage would have made him desert. But one must have more than good intentions. Results are what we want. We ask them in all fairness, is there any hope for the negro race in a party that will permit the leadership of men like Secretary of State Pearce? Can the few fair-minded Democrats stem the tide of Bourbon Democracy that believes that the negro has no rights that a white man is bound to respect? If Mr. Pearce does not represent the average opinion of his party, how are we to account for the refusal of the state treasurer, Mr. Galligan, to make a place in his office for a negro? How account for the failure of the state land board to make a place when by hook or crook other state departments refused? Not speaking as a Republican newspaper, but from the standpoint of a race newspaper and without political bias, we say frankly, that we have no expectations of fair treatment from the state administration. It is true that the governor has appointed a messenger to succeed Captain Thbmas Campbell, who was employed by Governor Buchtel. But PAGE.8. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. KLIN, Editor. MS. ths .....$1.00 Three months .....$ .50 Colorado, as second class mailmatter. neither in salary or in the class of work required of this messenger is this place to be compared with Captain Campbell's position. The present administration seems to have set a line beyond which no negro can go. In the South the negro has "his place," and Colorado is rapidly degenerating to the Southern idea. We feel sorry for Mr. Buford, and for all other honest-intentioned negroes who supported the Democrats. They have been swindled. The wonderful promises of their state organization have melted into thin air. It is enough for them to have to battle again the overwhelming weight of opinion in their own race, and when they meet Judas treatment from those in whose interest they work, it is too much. It is stated in the press dispatches that one change resulting from the new administration is that of the surveyor of the port of New York, a position at this time held by Gen. J. S. Clarkson of Iowa. We hope it is not true. Or rather we hope that if it is true it does not mean the relegating into private life of this life-long friend of our race. In him we have an advisor who has never considered our fight for real emancipation lost, one who has stood by the guns and will stand until the last round of ammunition is exhausted. The ranks of those whose souls were cleansed of all petty prejudices in the heat of battle are thinning. And so we cling with stronger affection to those who remain and in their triumphs we rejoice, and in their losses we grieve. So it is that we grieve that Gen. Clarkson is in danger of losing his position. FOR RENT—Six-room modern, brick house at 1760 Clarkson, for $25. Inquire at 1948 Pearl street. Keep off the date of April 15th, the Taka's night out.

CENTRAL BAPTIST CHURCH RALLY. Sunday afternoon at Scott M. E. church, notwithstanding the two fu- nerals and other attractions, the mem- bers and friends of Central Baptist church, to show the people how loyal and true they were to thelr convic- tions, after a very appropriate ser- mon, a collection was called for to meet the exigencies of the church, and it was surprising to see the general response to the call. With valiant soldiers like that who were not only willing to give to their Master, but were also willing to sacrifice to the last ditch for Him that His grand and giorlous work may be pushed forward, is an example worthy of emulating by any church or society. The people out Sunday were Central's best friends and showed their friendship by doing in the time of need. Rey. Beckham ought to certainly feel proud of his flock and ere long, If this progress continues, everybody in Denver will be proud of the beautiful churches in our city. It was a glorious lesson of confidence and generosity worthy of anyone's study. REV. HARDING AT SHORTER. Rey. Harding, a Baptist divine of a little mission in Walsenburg, which has two contiguous towns, Walsen mines and Pictou, preached a strong, logical and passionate-sermon Sunday night at Shorter. One thing commend- able about the minister of Shorter, along with some of the other minis- ters, is the free access to their pulpits to every true, well-qualified servant of the Lord, who comes with the proper credentials. “Come With Us and We Will Do You Good,” was his text. The missionary spirit was vividly pointed out while the strength gathered from contact and association loomed into spirituality. He reviewed the short: comings of both the pulpit and the pew and suggested a remedy for the cure of the errors and finally conclud- ed with a strong appeal for all those who desired to live a better tomorrow than today to come and join the army for they would do them good. So well was his sermon appreciated that an after collection was given him. EUREKA LITERARY HAS FINEST PROGRAM OF THE YEAR. PROGRAM COMMITTEE HIGHLY HONORED. The Program committee, of which ‘Miss Gertie Nichols is chairman and ‘Mr. Harry Gilmore was such an active member Tuesday night, presented the best program to the literary this year and one of the best in the history of the society. The house was packed ‘almost to standing room; the young people were never so enthusiastic, so ‘willing and eager to help on any occa- sion as upon this event. Young peo ple who have not appeared upon the | program for months were there and “not a single member failed who prom- ised to be present. The program was as follows: Piano solo, Mr. Willie Burns, who received an encore; duet, Misses Burns and Walker, whose applause caused them to repeat their rendition. The song won the young boys because it read, “There Never Was a Boy Like “You " Miss Josephine Allyn appeared | next upon the program with Mrs. \Tenie Hudson as accompanist, and her musical number was very well rendered, An encore was forced from her to appease the audience, The pa- “per, “Self-Reliance,” by Miss Lucretia ‘Burns, was yery timely, racy and was pe sufficient strength to have appealed to every member in the house. She was a firm believer in self-help and cited negro examples for proof. It was ‘a vindication of what Mr. J. H. Chil- dress said Sunday at the People’s Sunday Alliance in his “Literature of Our Race." Miss Nettie Elliston re- elted a very short selection, which /Was so good that another was given; while Mr. Lloyd Hall, in another pa: ‘per, “Higher Ideals,” completely won ‘the audience by his new mental ac- ' quisitions along the “New Thought” Ee All through his paper ran the thought, “As a man thinketh so he is,” and “Whatever he sows that he shall rex,-the law of compensation. It 'was certainly inspiring to see the young man handle the subject in such : scholarly fashion. Mr. Harry Gil- more sang a song from Cole and John- son, “Golden Dreams,” over which the house went nearly wild. Miss Virgie Webster, in her nice, capitivating and winsome manner, completely won the audience on the songs “if I Had a Thousand Lives To Live, I'd Live Each One for You” and “Rose, Rose, Rose.” This number closed the program and the society was invited to attend the Alliance “Temperance” Sunday pro- gram at the hall. The program for next Tuesday night will be sent to all : churches, THE MMcDANIELS “J.
