Georgia's "First Bale Man" a Hustler. Among the many successful farmers of Dougherty county, Ga.. Deal L. Jackson is said to be the most thrifty and perhaps the wealthiest. He is familiarly known as Georgia's "first bale man" because of his ability to get his cotton picked and ginned sooner than other farmers; hence he generally turns out the first bale. Mr. Jackson says that he cleared $8,000 on his farm products the past year. New Addition to Race Literature. John Edward Bruce, the well known writer and newspaper correspondent of Yonkers, N. Y., has in course of preparation a rare selection of biographies of eminent Afro-Americans who have won their spurs by grit, persistency and self reliance, which will appear in book form in the near future. To each sketch the writer will add a series of helpful questions on various subjects for the benefit of young folks. Mr. Bruce writes interestingly and knows how to state facts as they should be. MR. GORDON'S MANLY PLEA. Stand Up, Show Your Willingness to Help Your Own, He Says. In an address at the Bridge Street A. M. E. church, Brooklyn, upon the occasion of the annual visit of the officials and a group of children from the Brooklyn Howard Colored Orphan asylum in the latter part of December the Rev. James H. Gordon, superintendent of the asylum, said: "There are some of our churches so narrow that they won't let us in because their denomination does not run the institution. We have had a great struggle this year. Out of the 1,400 children who have passed through the institution in the past twelve years only six have died. Some of these people who come up to the asylum in their automobiles find all sorts of fault, and I believe it is just because it is a Negro institution. Stand on your feet, make sacrifices and let these white people see that you appreciatte your own and are willing to help them. These children have raised $5,500 worth of stuff on the farm this year. We have 6 horses, 40 hogs, 175 fowls and 22 head of cattle. We have raised 2,250 bushels of potatoes, 9,000 cabbages, 1,200 bushels of turnips and beets. You can see that these children are well fed. They get more than bread. "What we want to do is to build a mighty industrial school at St. James, N. Y., where we can shelter 2,000 waifs from the streets and give them various trades and means of living." A collection of $68.63 was taken up for the institution. THE STATESMAN. DENVER.

Twenty-nine of the 44 cities, or 66 per cent of the whole, receive a higher price per million gallons of water delivered than The Denver Union Water Company. A great majority of the water plants that receive a lower price per million gallons are in cities. so large that a comparison with Denver is unfair. < Only five cities in the 44 supplying filtered water receive a lower price per million gallons delivered than The Denver Union Water Company.

New York, as previously stated, obtains its water under about the same conditions as Denver, but does not filter.

TABLE NO. 3, 26 CITIES OF 100,000 TO 300,000 POPULATION. Only four of the 26 cities supply water at as low a price per millon gallons delivered as The Denver Union Water Company. Only two of these cities, Columbus and Toledo, Ohio, supply filtered water. All four of the cities secure their supplies within the city limits or at the immediate outskirts, and have no expense for great storage reservoirs or long distance conveyance of water in addition to pumping charges like Denver. None of the cities consumes as much water per capita as Denver, there- fore, none of them require as extensive or as expensive systems as. is required by Denver. None of them require as great a mileage of mains to serve their popula- tion as is required to serve the scattered population of Denver. Yet, 22 of the 26 require the water consumers to pay a much higher price per gallon of water delivered than the consumers in Denver are required to pay. . This list of cities, all coming within the same population classification av Denver, furnishes the nearest approach to a fair comparison of water prices with Denver. There are only four other cities in the United States that come within this population rating, so the comparison with the class of cities in which Denver belongs is most complete: The list includes Portland, Ore., Seattle, Spokane and Tacoma, Wash., with which the price charged for water in Denver has fre- quently been compared. A glance at the revenue derived per million gallons of water delivered by the plants in these cities will show how favorable to Denver is a fair comparison. The Portland plant re- ceives $92.28 per million gallons, Seattle $90.23, Spokane $73.07 and Tacoma $98.83, against Denver’s only $66.68. Los Angeles, Cal., with which Denver also is frequently com- pared, has a population of a little more than 300,000. The revenue per million gallons of its municipal pliant, as shown by another table, is $89.54, against $66.68 in Denver. “F” indicates plants that supply filtered water.

LAND SUNDAY AT ALLIANCE Will Show You How to Get Free Land It is enough to say that when the People's Sunday Alliance says it stands for the best interests of the colored people of this community, it means it in every sense of the word. The land locator, Dr. J. R. Brown, will be there next Sunday to answer all questions concerning how to acquire land from the government in townsites, in the form of companies and by individuals. We urgently desire everybody who is interested in the land in Colorado, and especially those who are poor and land hungry, to come out and hear for themselves without paying out one cent. The foreigners have taken up nearly all the spare land near Denver and yet the negro still sleeps. Come out early and investigate for yourself. CAMPBELL CHAPEL NOTES.

AT JOHN BROWN'S GRAVE. Memory of Freedom's Mighty Warrior Immortalized in Song and Story. By ROBERTUS LOVE. He only of the millions, heart whole to one desire. Dared face the grim necessity and brave the blood and fire. He looked upon the future and saw in light outspread To his enchanted vision a narrow path that led Up jagged steeps of progress to still and snow pure heights, Whence world enlightening liberty flashed down her thousand lights. His hand dealt destruction, but his soul yearned to save. And this is why I pause today At John Brown's grave. When coward silence sat enthroned on civic power's lip. Whilst coward strength forged fetters and cracked the tyrant's whip. When justice was a bigot's jest and liberty a lie And strong men in high places sat calm and heedless by. Then up rose one among them, the lowliest of them all, Who struck one blow for brotherhood, well knowing he must fall. Though worthy of a soldier's death, he perished as a knave. And this is why I weep today At John Brown's grave. THE HISTORY OF THE MUSEUM JOHN BROWN'S FORT. One man for human justice, and forward at the sign The tens of thousands, file by file, came wheeling into line! He was the first to perish, but ere his bones were dust The blossoms blushing from his tomb proclaimed his calling just. You jeered at him, O brothers, with the brand upon his brow. But ye may not think upon him save in silent reverence now. For ye know his name is Hero where Columbia's colors wave. And this is why I thrill today At John Brown's grave. There have been men triumphant and powerful in life Whose days were passed in peaceful ways and ended not in strife. There have been mighty warriors in early times and late Whose deeds were bright with glory and whose deaths convulsed the state. There have been blessed martyrs whose memory is dear. But who of all the number died like him beneath me here? I liken him to One alone, the first who died to save. And this is why I kneel today At John Brown's grave.

Ford's Hair Pomade Fifty years of success have proved the merits of this preparation. What is more attractive than a beautiful head of hair? It has been the ambition of women in all ages. The use of Ford's Hair Pomade makes stubborn, harsh, kinky or curly hair softer, more pillable and glossy, easy to comb and arrange in any style desired consistent with its length, as long as the Pomade remains in the hair. This result may be obtained by one thorough application according to directions. Two to four applications a month will keep the hair in satisfactory condition, and two to four bottles, regular size, are usually sufficient for a year. Directions with every bottle. Ford's Hair Pomade removes and prevents dandruff, invigorates the scalp and keeps it from getting harsh and dry, stops itching and prevents the hair from falling out or breaking off and gives it new life and vigor. Absolutely harmless. Used with splendid results even on children and infants. Delicately perfumed, its use is a constant pleasure. A most satisfactory toilet preparation for ladies, gentlemen and children. Don't buy anything else alleged to be "just as good": if you want the best results buy Ford's Hair Pomade. Look for this name—"Charles Ford, Prest."—on every package.

Girl Who Married Walter M. Coshburn Occupies Influential Place In the Business Life of Worcester—Services Sought by Leading Merchants. By N. BARNETT DODSON. One of the most popular and successful business women in Worcester, Mass., of either race is Mrs. Suella Coshburn, who is in charge of the hairdressing parlors of the dry goods firm of the Barnard, Sumner & Putnam company, which is one of the oldest and best known establishments in the city. Mrs. Coshburn's hairdressing parlors are on the fourth floor and occupy the entire front. There are several departments—shampoo, facial massage, chiropodist, manicure and workrooms; also a barber shop and a doll factory. There are numerous articles in the line of hair and manicure goods and doll supplies in stock for sale. Mrs. Coshburn is assisted in her work by a very efficient corps of skilled workers. Ever since the death of her husband, the late Walter M. Coshburn, Mrs. Coshburn has had entire charge of the business. Mr. and Mrs. Walter M. Coshburn went to Worcester about nineteen years ago from Whitehall, N. Y. Previous to her marriage Mrs. Coshburn, who was Miss Suella Schuyler, conducted a hairdressing parlor in Yonkers, N. Y. Upon going to Worcester they opened a first class hairdressing establishment and barber shop on Main street, where, through their business tact, congenial manner and first class workmanship, they established a growing trade among the better class of whites. In order to meet the demands of the trade they employed several helpers, and in nine years they were compelled to move into larger quarters, where they could better accommodate their customers. Mr. Coshburn also conducted a doll hospital for repairing broken dolls. He was known throughout New England as the doll hospital doctor and expert wigmaker. In 1903 the Barnard, Sumner & Putnam company thought it would add to its trade to nave Mr. Coshburn's business located in its store, so it consulted Mr. and Mrs. Coshburn, who, after careful consideration, decided to take charge of the hairdressing parlors, where Mrs. Coshburn is now doing business. Mr. Coshburn had been in the store about three years or more when his death occurred. His funeral was one of the largest colored funerals ever held in that city, as he was a man that commanded the respect and love of every one that came in contact with him. Mrs. Coshburn has the reputation of being a thorough business woman. Besides her regular work, she is the president of the Lucy Stone club, an organization which has done considerable missionary work, and is at present looking forward to founding a working girls' home. She is also the secretary of the Afro-American Business association. Mrs. Coshburn, resides with her mother. Dr. Mary Schuyler, at 3 Cot- THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORAD tage street, where she has purchased a very pretty home. Mrs. Schuyler is also well known on account of the great work she has done among the poorer people of her race. For a great many years she has conducted a mission Sunday school on Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock in the vestry of one of the white churches. MRS. A. C. DIXON'S PROTEST. Objects to Method of Raising Money to Honan Husband's Memory Mrs. Angela C. Dixon, widow of the late Rev. William T. Dixon, D. D., who was pastor of the Concord Baptist Church of Christ, in Brooklyn, for more than forty-five years, has sent out a protest against the use of her name in connection with the raising of money for a memorial to her husband by any entertainment at which dancing or card playing is to be the form of amusement. It had been recently proposed to raise a fund by a dance, the fund to be used in the building of a girls' dormitory at the Howard Colored Orphan Asylum farm at St. James, N. Y. When Mrs. Dixon heard of the dance, which was proposed by a subcommittee of the committee of 100 women, she immediately announced her opposition. Dances, card games and theatrical performances, Mrs. Dixon declares, were contrary to the religious principles of her husband, and she doesn't propose to consent to have his name connected with any memorial built by money raised that way. The movement was started last July. Mrs. G. H. Fayerweather was leader in the project. HAS BRIGHT FUTURE. N. R. Smith Appointed Alternate at West Point Military Academy. The recent appointment of Nollie R. Smith of Cheyenne, Wyo., by Senator C. D. Clark as alternate at the Military academy, West Point, N. Y., is received with much satisfaction among Afro-Americans and should be highly encouraging to our young men in high schools and colleges. Robert Dillman however, is the principal appointee. Mr. Smith is now taking the final examinations at Fort Logan. In the physical examination conducted at Cheyenne he had a percentage of 91 He was a student and athlete at the University of Nebraska in 1908 and 1909 and was a member of the freshmen eleven and made an excellent record as a student. Mr. Smith is a nephew of Captain Charles Young Ninth cavalry, who is a graduate of West Point. Dr. Washington's Christmas Presents The League Journal, New Rochelle N. Y., says that "Mr. Booker T.

COLORADO. WATER QUESTION Statistics of Water Plants Compiled from U.S. Census and Comparison Made with Denver. This Table is a Comparison per Million Gallons To the Citizens and Taxpayers of Denver: In our last letter we showed by the latest Bulletin of Municipal Statistics issued by the United States Bureau of Census that the water plants in thirty-three of the largest cities in the United States derive an average income upon the valuation of properties devoted to water works purposes nearly fifty per cent greater than the income of The Denver Union Water Company upon the valuation of its property. We now submit tables showing the revenue per million gallons of water furnished by water plants in nearly 100 of the best known cities in the country, also the population, daily per capita consumption and gross annual consumption of water, and gross annual revenue compared with Denver. This comparison indicates the price per gallon paid for water by the consumers in the various cities, and the average price per city of all of the cities, as accurately as would a similar comparison of the price per pound of sugar or pound of potatoes in those cities against similar prices in Denver. The comparison shows that The Denver Union Water Company receives a lower price per gallon of water delivered than any of the water plants, from which data is available, that supplies filtered water and obtains its supply at any distance from the city. The comparison shows that The Denver Union Water Company receives a lower price per gallon of water than 76.6 per cent of all the cities from which reports are available, regardless of whether they furnish filtered or unfiltered water and regardless of the conditions under which their supplies are obtained. The comparison shows that the average price received per city for a gallon of water is 49.89 per cent greater than the price received by The Denver Union Water Company for the same quantity of water. The tables cover every class of water plant in the United States. They show the varying revenues per million gallons, from the low priced service in the very large plants situated on the shores of the Great Lakes, or on great rivers, where no expense is attached except the pumping of unfiltered water into the distributing mains to the higher priced service in cities that bring water considerable distances, and add to the expense of long distance conveyance costly filtration and purification. The information contained in these tables will be particularly interesting and useful to the citizens and water consumers because it shows how much untruthful information has been disseminated concerning the charges for water in Denver. The data upon which the tables are based, is supplied by the official printed reports of the various water works or by the operating officials of those works. The figures are for 1908. The 1909 figures from the various cities are not yet available. The figures for Denver used in comparison are for the same year. The gross revenues for the year shown by the tables represent the funds actually acknowledged as received by the water works and do not take into consideration the fact that in many of the cities operating their own plants, interest on bonds, and other charges are paid out of the general funds and never appear as part of the revenues and expenditures of the water departments. The revenues reported for The Denver Union Water Company show every dollar received by all the departments, including the farms that it operates to protect its surplus water rights. Because of the ease with which such payments are made under the usual system of municipal bookkeeping and expenses transferred from one fund to another, no one ever knows how much municipally owned plants actually receive for a gallon of water delivered or what it costs to deliver a given quantity of water. Perhaps the most striking illustration in this direction in the table is found in the Washington, D. C., report. The revenue from water consumers in Washington is devoted solely to the upkeep of the distributing system within the city and to the expense of collecting water rents. The water is secured seventeen miles from the city. The War Department, independent of the City Department, operates the storage and filtration systems and the supply conduits delivering the water to the distributing system under pressure. The tables dealing with the revenues per million gallons of the various cities are divided into four classifications. Table No. 1 shows 94 cities scattered over every section of the United States. It shows that the average price received per city for a million gallons of water delivered is $99.95. The Denver Union Water Company received only $66.68 for each million gallons of water it delivered. Or—The average price received per city for a million gallons of water delivered is $33.27 more, or 49.89 per cent greater than the price received by The Denver Union Water Company for the same quantity of water. Table No. 2 shows 36 cities of the 94 that supply filtered water. It shows that the average price received per city for a million gallons of filtered water delivered is $102.61. The Denver Union Water Company received only $66.68 for each million gallons of filtered water it delivered. Or—The average price received per city for a million gallons of filtered water delivered is $35.73 more, or 53.43 per cent greater than the price received by The Denver Union Water Company for the same quantity of water. Table No. 3 shows 26 cities of the 94 that have a population of from 100,000 to 300,000. The latest information from the United States Census Bureau shows that on June 30, 1909, there were 30 cities in the United PAGE. 6. 1. Miss M. COWDEA. Hair Dressing PARLORS.

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. POPB. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, CC LORADO. ————————— — — States with that population rating. We have secured information from ail but four of those cities. The table shows that the average price received per city for a million Ballons of water delivered is $95.25. The Denver Union Water Company received only $66.68 for each million Sallons of water it delivered. Or—The average price received per city for a million gallons of water delivered is $28.57 more, or 42.85 per cent greater than the price received by The Denver Union Water Company for the same quantity of water. Table No. 4 shows 44 cities of the 94 that have a population of 100,000 or more. The latest information from the United States Census Bureau shows that on June 30, 1909, there were 49 cities in the United States with that population rating. We were unable to obtain information regarding the revenues of four of those cities. The fifth, New Orleans, did not begin to operate its new water plant until January, 1909. The table shows that the average price received per city for a million gallons of water delivered is $84.18. The Denver Union Water Company received only $66.68 for each million gallons of water It delivered. Or—The average price received per city for a :iillion gallons of water delivered is $17.50 more or 26.26 per cent greater than the price received by The Denver Union Water Company for the same quantity of water. The water supplied Denver, all of which is filtered, more thaa 80 per cent of which is brought from 20 to 50 miles before it is available for de- livery, and a large percentage of which is pumped because of the hilly, loca- tion of the city, represents a legitimately higher cost per gallon available for delivery than the water in almost any other city in the United States. Yet, the consumers in Denver pay a far lower price per gallon than the average per city of any of the combinations of cities. No attempt was made to select special cities for the purpose of com- parison. A conscientious effort was made to secure data from every well known city in the United States. This is especially true of the cities having a population of 100,000 or more. That we failed to secure information from only four cities with that population rating amply substantiates this statement. If those four cities gave free water to all consumers the average in each of the classifications would still show much higher prices per million gallons than is received by The Denver Union Water Company. The various tables follow: TABLE No. 1—94 CITIES. This table shows that 72 of the cities, or 76.6 per cent of the entire number, without regard to whether they supply filtered or unfiltered water and without regard to the distance from the city of their sources of supply, receive a higher price per million gallons of water delivered than The Den ver Union Water Company. Every city in the list except New York and Washington, whether it de- livers filtered or unfiltered water, that receives a lower revenue per million kallons than The Denver Union, Water Company, secures its supply within the city limits or near the outskirts. The Denver Union Water Company, in order to secure an adequate sup- ply of water for Denver, has been obliged to practically create sources of supply by constructing great storage reservoirs. It brings more than sO ber cent of the water furnished from 20 to 50 miles. Every drop of water furnished in Denver is filtered and scientifically treated before it is deliv- ered to consumers, New York City secures its supply under about the same conditions as Denver, but does not filter. Washington's charges, as previously stated, cover only the departments of water distribution and collection of water rents. Chicago, Detroit and Buffalo, Which show the lowest revenue per million gallons except Washington, supply unfiltered water. They are so situated upon the shores of the Great Lakes that they have the cheapest method of water supply in the world, and their charges should be the lowest. Philadelphia and Pittsburg, which rank low, filtered only about half the water supplied in the year covered by the report. The two Pueblo plants, the only plants west of the Mississippi river that receive a lower revenue per million gallons than The Denver Union Water Company, are direct pumping plants that obtain their supply within the city, The Arkansas river furnishes a supply adequate for the needs of Pueblo that can be delivered almost as cheaply as the supplies drawn from the Great Lakes. The water is not filtered. “F" Indicates plants that supply filtered water.

The near approach of the city elec- tion has set the tongues of interested politicians agoing. They should not be alone in interest in our city’s af- fairs. Let all voters, women as well as men, study up the import of the va- rious movements, and watch the shift- ing scenes so that they may exert the greatest amount of power over the result. The time has passed when the race can be sold and delivered, if only it will interest itself in the elections. We are reminded of the reliability of politicians by the state- ment made of one who poses as a Re- publican and has held office as a Re- publican (also as a Democrat, by the way), that he is now seeking to start a Deimocratic newspaper. May Pro- vidence forefend! The Democrats are our political opponents, but de- serve no such harsh fate as to have thir conscienceless, double-dealing po- litical mountebank hanging on to them like the plague. The only way to keep such cattle as this from selling the peorle and promising to deliver the vote is to be intelligent over the is- sues and go to the polls yourself. No good citizen needs to be hauled to the polls election day any more than he needs to be hauled to his work. No good citizen needs pay for doing his full duty. No good citizen will sit at home and let a politician act as lis proxy, such as onefellow we know whose only recommendation to an ap- pointment was that he would do dirty work that no other negro in town could ibe persuaded to do, That is dis- gusting, and no race can /be respected that will let itself be preyed on by harpies who are police stool pigeons out of office and turn-coat hypocrites and flunkies in office. MORE MONEY NOW NEEDED. If, after the strenuous efforts, de- spite of all the sacrifices made by At- torneys Ross and Townsend in the civil rights case, the negroes in this state are not sufficiently interested to come to the rescue of this cause, after they have won this far, the Colorado Degro ought to have Jim Crow cars and Jim Crow privileges. Not one cent has come from any person out- side of Denver, not one organization, male or female, outside of the Al- liance, has spent a cent to protect our rights or tried to encourage negro at- torneys in one of the most difficult cases tried and of that clase of cases that no WHITE will take. Organi- zations that can employ WHITE lawyers for other work have no in- terest in this matter, possibly because the negroes succeeded in winning the first trial. The case is not ended; it to prepare the case for the Supreme court, abstract of records, briefs, bills of exceptions, etc., must be looked after and the public ought to be suf- ficiently concerned to look after the matter. If more money is_not raised the lawyers cannot appeal the case and then it will be dropped. What say you about it, substantially? NEGRESS BEST PUPIL IN_ 10,000. Hoboken, N. J., Feb. 4—Estelle E. Gibbs, a negress, 14 years old, today received the first prize, a gold medal, at the graduating exercises of the Hoboken public school pupils. She had the highest average of any public school pupil in the city—991 per cent in six subjects. The medal was presented by Mayor Gonzales. There are 10,000 white pupils in the schools and only 15 blacks. Only 1 negro families live in Hoboken. Es- telle is the daughter of a Pullman car porter. _ §. A.

After a gallant struggle to regain his health, both in Colorado Springs and more recently here, Mr. Frank Gaines of 2420 Humboldt street was gathered home by the grim reaper last Friday. On Monday the funeral was held from the family residence, Father Brown leading in the Episcopal service. Rev. D. E. Over spoke beautifully of the growing confidence with which the sick man met the inevitable. All that flowers and sympathy could do, the friends cared for, but the bereaved sons and daughters and the doubly bereaved wife, after the last journey to Fairmont, were left to grief, now deprived of even the solace they once had in the care of one who was dear. The family came here last year from Washington and purchased the home in which they now live. He had been a prominent business man of the Capitol city and Denver would have been fortunate had he regained his health. The Statesman speaks for the community the sympathy which all feel for them in their loss. Undertaker Lawhorn had charge of the burial. SWEETHEARTS' FETE.
