FRANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN TWENTY-FIRST YEAR DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, APRIL 2, 1910 FIVE CENTS A COPY THE COST OF A MUNICIPAL WATER SYTEM WILL FALL UNEQUALLY JUST AS TAXES DO It is an accepted fact in political economy that the lowest strata of society bear all the burdens. In other words, just as the foundations of a building must carry their own weight and all the superstructure, so the poorest classes provide for their superiors in wealth, in brain and in power. The colored citizens of Denver are employes rather than employers; they are consumers more than they are manufacturers; they elect others to office and pay taxes to maintain the commonwealth in a far greater degree than they receive salaries therefrom. Therefore, they must consider the water question from the standpoint of citizens who must pay every cent of cost. In all discussion of this question, it is unfortunate that no schedule of municipal ownership rates is presented by the municipal ownership crowd. They plead their ability to build a plant cheaper than the present one, and better, and argue therefrom that rates will be cheaper. ARE THE PEOPLE OF DENVER WILLING TO ACCEPT THE MERE WORD OF SENATOR PATTERSON THAT THIS IS SO WHEN FAILURE MEANS THAT WE WILL HAVE To MAKE UP ANY DEFICIT OUT OF GENERAL TAXES! Certainly common sense would be outraged if we are so foolish. Then, when the municipal plant is built, there is no assurance that it will not be costly in operation, so that service to the consumer will be higher than at present. As campaign material, the present plans for a municipal water system are ideal. The rates of the Denver Union Water Company are known. The municipal ownership dreamer can underbid them, by the simple process of singing his song in a lower key. Patterson's Figures Won't Stand Investigation Senator Patterson and Senator Rush say that present rates are too high and we are expected to believe them. The former says Denver rates are three times as high as Grand Rapids. Right here we want to say it is a genuine pleasure to catch the Senator in a positive statement with evidence submitted. His advocacy of municipal ownership of the water plant has been so full of beautiful words and so empty of facts, that a statement with some figures in it is a rare treat. The Board of Public Works of Grand Rapids issues the following schedule: Sinks—General Domestic Purposes. Per Annum. Families of four persons or less $ 4.00 Each additional person 1.00 Water Closets. For four persons or less, one or more closets 4.00 Each additional person using same .50 Bath Tubs. For four persons or less, one or more tubs 2.00 Each additional person using same .50 Stationary Wash Tubs. For family of four persons or less, one or more tubs 2.00 For each additional person .50 Street Sprinkling—For Lots. Per Season. For 50 feet front or less $ 3.00 For 100 feet 5.50 For 150 feet 7.50 For 200 feet 10.00 For each additional 50 feet 2.50 Sprinkling—Lawn or Garden. For each 1,000" square feet watered 2.00 How Senator Patterson, in the Times, can figure out the cost of water for an eleven-room house to be only $15 per annum, we do not see, unless he uses the same kind of figures he has chosen to estimate the cost of a municipal water plant. Estimating five persons to occupy this house, the Grand Rapids rate is $45, not $15. By this same standard of figuring the Patterson water system, estimated to cost $8,000,000, will cost $24,000,000. Ah, Senator, you are too old a fox to come out in the open and trust to figures. Stick to air castles. That dream schedule of the municipal plant is lower than the schedule of the present franchise! Don't forsake it for facts, or you will lose. Municipal Ownership Means Favors---The Poor Pay the Freight But it is not of figures we would treat so much at this time as of conditions. Every small property owner in the city of Denver knows that his small holdings, his real estate, his piano, his bicycle, his watch, are faithfully enumerated in the tax schedule. We all believe and at various times have had the proof of it held up before our eyes that the large corporations, the people of big money, the people of large influence, do not receive the same severe going over with a fine-tooth comb. Their stocks and bonds, their diamonds, their money-in-the-bank, and other property that can be hid away, escape taxation. Even their real estate is assessed less, in proportion, than ours. Their money and influence make them immune to the grilling which our tax system imposes on the poor. The very mortgages we owe, representing a part of their wealth, we pay the taxes for. Now, with all this before our eyes showing us that the poorest classes bear an extra burden of taxation, The Statesman lays it down as an incontrovertible fact that the interests of small property owners are entirely with private ownership and against municipal ownership of any public utility. Here are the reasons: Any water commission in charge of a municipal plant, whether partisan or non-partisan, wins office through the support of influential people, and will repay these influential people with favors in the department they control. The courts of this country, the executive officers of this country, the business enterprises of this country, have all shown at times the influence of this "log-rolling." The Negro, as one of the least influential of Americans, needs no proof that this is so. No matter on how high a plane the water commission may start out, it is inevitable that a municipally operated water system will degenerate as it has in Chicago, so that large employers of labor and other influential interests will receive service at the expense of less favored and poorer consumers. Not so with a private corporation under franchise. Poor as any citizen may be, his simple appeal to the courts is sufficient to cause the abrogation of any franchise, when he shows that he is paying for a service according to schedule rates, while any other citizen is favored by cheaper rates. The city will have no franchise to operate a water plant and cannot be sued to secure justice. Think well, colored citizens of Denver, before you place your water supply in the hands of any set of men, with no binding contract to compel them to deal squarely. You are in the foundation, and every gallon of water pumped free to your employer, to your political representative, to some great corporation, you must pay for in raised rates on your little home. The law is blind to the delinquencies of the rich. A municipal water plant is no more just than is the tax department of the commonwealth's business. Municipal Rates Would Be Subject to Arbitrary Change A significant item in a paper of recent date was the simple announcement that the city council of a certain city had raised rates for water service. WILL SOMEONE, SENATOR PATTERSON PREFERRED, TELL US HOW THE PEOPLE OF DENVER CAN BE PROTECTED AGAINST A RAISE IN WATER RATES AT ANY TIME UNDER MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP? 2,Aa8 THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO.

Over and other preachers have sounded the keynote to the solving of the negro's perplexing condition in Denver by showing the necessity of a closer race unity coming from the laity toward our professional, business and tradesmen. I heartily concur in every sentiment uttered along this line by the Reerend on Sunday afternoon. Just think of it, 11,000 colored people here getting hungry three times a day, must be kept warm, must be fed, shod, have medicine, dental and legal attention, and the negro of Denver utterly and stubbornly refuses to give requisite aid to these mentioned classes of our own color. Think of the money made each week by these 11,000 negroes and then think what a small part goes to the negro business, professional or tradesmen. How can either the business, professional or tradesmen ever offer a position to your boy or girl either as a laborer, stenographer or clerk when they don't get the business to support them? Negro children are being constantly born in Denver, which makes competition for a job among the negroes that much keener by the increase. Now, mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers, what did you personally do last year toward making a job for your own or your neighbor's son or daughter? Jew lawyers and Jew doctors, dentists and merchants control the Jew business and as a consequence see how many Jew girls and boys are employed. Can't the negro be human enough to preserve himself? There are enough colored doctors here to give medical aid and attention to the 11,000 negroes; there are enough printing establishments to do all the 11,000 negroes' printing; there are enough undertakers, drug stores, real estate agents, milliners, dressmakers, hair specialists and lawyers to look after the 11,000 negro sufferers. We have the strength, ability and opportunity, and we do make and earn the money, but we take it and scatter it where it does not benefit us. Think of the few churches to accommodate 11,000 negroes. What fine edifices could be had and maintained by such a number. The negro in Denver must wake up; because your little boy and girl, now in the cradle, will only inherit the wash-tub, picking in the streets, the dust-pan and broom. Surely there is some good ability in Denver worthy of the confidence and hire of the negroes and if there is not, why not make them capable and qualified by your support? Can you ever do it by supporting the dominant race who needs not nor caters for your support? Is it not a sure way to keep a baby weak all the time by not developing, nourishing and supporting him? Your sons and daughters will have to face these same disadvantages and depend upon the uncertainty of the people's support such as the present set of business men. Experience is the only thing that will make this present set better and which can lead them to success. Think of negro ministers begging negroes' money to pay a white man (a fact unknown to them at the time of their appeal to their congregations) to bury a negro when we have capable undertakers of our own. I appeal to every negro, man, woman and child, to help the next generation, not the present, because we have nearly lived our time through and we can get by and through somehow. Let no more colred lodges, churches and building associations give negro money to the Caucasian lawyer, dentist, undertaker, doctor, hair specialist, or milliner, when by so doing they rob our own of the support and advantage. I was much gratified at the force and reason used by Rev. Over Sunday afternoon, and I feel confident that it will do much good. Other ministers have THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. been as outspoken, but at this time, to lodge members, it seemed to be the best time to warn and appeal to man's manhood and integrity. Thanking you for this space, I am, Very truly, GEORGE G. ROSS. STATE OF COLORADO, Insurance Department. SYNOPSIS OF STATEMENT AND COPY OF CERTIFICATE OF AUTHORITY.

Baker entertained the club members at a mothers' meeting two weeks ago. Mrs. Landor, chairman of the program committee, assisted by Mesdames Banks and Baker, arranged a program which was very creditably rendered and well received. Mrs. Redd always pleases by her reciting, and her rendition of "Over the Hills to the Poor House" was delivered in her usual pleasing manner. Miss Hopkins related in a very touching manner, the substance of an article which she had recently read. The beautiful poem by Mrs. J. E. Smith was beautifully read. Mrs. Washington spoke feelingly of a mother's vow and her duty. The program was interspersed with singing chorus selections, in which all took part. Guests of the club were: Medames Will Christian, Will Lucas, Charles Bowler, Frank Gaskin and Rev. James Washington. The readiness of the guests in responding to an invitation to participate in the program added much to the pleasure of the meeting. Rev. Washington's address was a wholesome one, well delivered, as are all of Rev. Washington's addresses, and more than enjoyed. Mrs. Baker was assisted in serving dainties and a refreshing menu by Miss Hopkins. The young ladies of our city are well worthy of the recognition, honor and respect which they receive. Mrs. Washington, the wife of our pastor, has done much to develop the latent talents and abilities of our girls, and fruits of her labors are being realized. The organizing of a club has been the leading step. A few weeks ago the club, chaperoned by Mrs. Washington, was entertained at the home of Mrs. Young, the wife of Captain Young of the Ninth Cavalry at Fort Rusell. It is needless to say that a delightful time was spent. Mrs. Young served a handsomely appointed luncheon of many courses.

No danger from THORNS, CACTUS, PINS, NAILS, TACKS or GLASS. Serious punctures, like intentional knife cuts, can be vulcanized like any other tire. Two Hundred Thousand pairs now in actual use. Over Seventy-five Thousand pairs sold last year. DESCRIPTION: Made in all sizes. It is lively and easy riding, very durable and lined inside with a special quality of rubber, which never becomes porous and which closes up small punctures without allowing the air to escape. We have hundreds of letters from satisfied customers stating that their tires have only been pumped up once or twice in a whole season. They weigh no more than an ordinary tire, the puncture resisting qualities being given by several layers of thin, specially prepared fabric on the tread. That "Holding Back" sensation commonly felt when riding on asphalt or soft roads is overcome by the patent "Basket Weave" tread which prevents all air from being squeezed out between the tire and the road thus overcoming all suction. The regular price of these tires is $50 per pair, but for advertising purposes we are making a special factory price to the rider of only $40 per pair. All orders shipped same day letter is received. We ship C.C.D. on approval. You do not pay a cent until you have examined and found them strictly as presented. We will allow a cash discount of 5 per cent (thereby making the price $4.35 per pair) if you send FULL CASH WITH ORDER and enclose this advertisement.

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 pliable 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.

Home Problem In New York Federation of Workers Among Colored People Hold Important Meeting—Com- forts of Home Life Growded Out by Lodgers, Says Miss Cora B. Jackson In an Able Address. By N. BARNETT DODSON. By far the most pointed and helpful meeting held by the Federation of Workers Among Colored People in New York was the one which took place recently in the rooms of the Young Women’s Christian association on West Fifty-third street. Besides being well attended, the gathering was notable on account of the presence of 2 number of prominent persons who are acknowledged leaders, who have achieved suécess in the work of up- lift along many lines among our people. Among the speakers were such well known persons as Mrs. Frances R. Keyser, Mrs. J. D. Layton, Mrs. R. ©, atansom and the Rev. Dr. Victor linn. The principal address was made by Miss Cora B. Jackson, secre- tary of the West Fifty-third street branch of the Young Women’s Chris- tian association. Miss Jackson's speech showed that she had given close at- tention to the condition of affairs relative to the home, social and eco- nomic life of those whom the organ- ization is seeking to make better. In the course of her address Miss Jackson said: “There fs little or no home life in New York. The cause is first due to high living and to the over- vrowded condition of the people, who in many instances have to fill their homes with lodgers in order to make their expenses. That means so many a ° , a | a a oe ‘a et geet a # Gs a We Pa 44 yi ye a | ie Te q yy Bo ie eh MISS CORA B. JACKSON. others in a family. There is no social life a:nong them on account of all hay- ing to work for a living. There is ac- tually no room in the house which is used for the comfort and pleasure of the young people; therefore the amuse- ment for the working girl is be- coming a problem, ‘There is no oppor- tunity for the restraining influences THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORAD: Which protection gives, aguin, t--- are so few means of employment for our girls. There is little or no incen- tive for them, nothing to encourage them. It is different with the south- ern girl from what it is with the north- ern girl. The former has plenty of room, plenty of time and plenty of fresh air and sunshine, because it does not cost so much Jo live; hence she can have more room, more comforts. Many of our young girls do not know any- thing about responsibility or moral obligation. They do not realize what reliable transactions mean. There are very few amusements which are in themselves uplifting, as many of their enjoyments bring them in contact with the lower stratum. The dance halls, cheap theaters and buffet flats are complicating the problem seriously. Many of our better class keep their doors closed to these girls, while the lower class opens theirs. We should get acquainted with the keepers of these lodging houses. Many of these girls accept advice, while others resent it. Not having friends when they reach here, they often make the wrong class. The White Rose mission, the Y. W. C. A. and similar institutions must be made social centers for young SPECIAL AGENT CAPABLE. Secretary Wilson Made No Mistake In Appointing Nelson Crews. Secretary Wilson of the agricultural department insists that he acted en- tirely within his authority when he appointed “farina expert’ Nelson Crews of Kansas City. Representa- tives Borland, Rucker, Booher and other Missouri Democrats of the house expressed doubt regarding the con- struction of the law which the secre- tary says authorizes him to put Crews at work as an expert at $150 a month. Mr. Borland recently sent Secretary Wilson a letter asking information re- garding Crews appointment. In reply Mr, Wilson says: Dear Mr. Borland—Referring to your let- ter of March 10, asking under what au- thority of law Mr. Nelson Crews was ap- pointed, I inclose herewith a copy of the act making appropriations for the agrt- cultural department and call your atten- tion to the marked paragraph on page 6. We cannot do effective work among the colored people without the employment of the most intelligent of their own race, who can reach them, talk to them, sug- gest improvements to them and report conditions to us, so that we may take steps to improve their farming conditions. The section referred to authorizes the secretary of agriculture to employ investigators and special agents re- quired for “laboratory investigations of plant diseases and pathological col- lections, for the control of the diseases of ornamental trees, for the investiga- tion of the physiology of crop plants, for soil bacteriology, for aeclimatiza- tion and ad6ption investigations of cotton, for taxonomic investigations and other things known to the labora- | tories of the agricultural department scientists, & “I have no doubt that Crews will at- tain eminence as a bacteriologist and pathologist,” Mr, Borland said. “If he makes a report on taxonomle Investl- gations I shall certainly read It.” EES eS ae eam eritt 4 nee strate tat ne A kD One of the Cuban players who start- ed for San Jose, Cal., from Havana recently was turned over to New Or- leans by wire, says the Los Angeles (Cal.)

We are pleased to know that the literary spirit is still alive among our people in the large cities. It is a true sign of progress along the right line, and it ought to be encouraged and made to become a prime factor in the intellectual life of our young people who may or may not be in school. Time was when the debating club was the backbone of the intellectual life of the community and our people took pride in supporting those who made it possible for such an institution to exist, for such the old time debating clubs were. The new literary society, lyceum or forum of the present time would do well to go back to the discussion of some of the themes of the old time debating club. They would find in them much food for thought and sober reflection. In Washington, Boston, Richmond, Va., Chicago, St. Louis, New York and other leading cities there are literary societies among us which are doing an educational work which could not be done with as little expense if conducted along other lines. We would like to see in every community a literary organization for the diffusion of knowledge, the discussion of questions of the day as they relate to us as a race and also to the body politic. The Boston Literary society, Boston; Bethel Literary and Historical society, Washington, and St. Mark's lyceum, New York, are known all over the United States as real educational institutions of worth, culture and refinement. Such economic institutions breathe an atmosphere of purity which beckons young men and women onward and upward in the struggle for the higher and nobler things of life. Madam J. M.

City News ```markdown ``` The Men's Bible Class of Zion Baptist church had a banquet Tuesday evening at the church, which, despite the weather, was well attended. The attendance, however, was not what made it notable. It was the enthusiasm, the zeal for the cause of Christ, and for the particular part of the vineyard represented by Zion that made it warm up the hearts of all present. Special stress was laid upon the need of missionary work for Africa. Speakers showed that the missionary work as carried out white Christians was ineffective in Africa, and that if we wish to see our own people enlightened and lifted up, it is to ourselves that we must look for the hands of God's work. The beauties of goodfellowship, of Godly life and of active Christian warfare were extolled. Several ladies of the church served the repast. The Bible Class is growing in numbers and interest, and is already taking on an influence in the church that does credit to its fouder, Rev.

FOUGHT FOR HER RIGHTS. A colored woman, Francis Wyche, who resides at Madison and Colfax streets, had a peculiar experience with a merchant on Fifteenth street recently. Mrs. Wyche agreed with the merchant to buy and did buy a readymade dress skirt, the price being $5. She paid $1.00 down and took a receipt, leaving the dress to be altered, and to pay $4.00 balance in 24 days, when she received her monthly pay. That was the contract. At the end of the 24 days, Mrs. Wyche went to the merchant and offered him, at his store, the $4.00 balance and asked for the dress. She was told the dress had been sold, whereupon she demanded her deposit, but was refused the money, yet she was told she could have a dollar's worth of goods. Mrs. Wyche laid her trouble before Lawyers Ross and Townsend. They demanded the deposit from the merchant, who insulted the lawyers. A suit was filed for $1.00 and for the value of the dress and the woman won and got not only the dollar but much more and the costs of her suit. HURRAH FOR THE WHITE RIBBONERS.

It looks as if Sam is going to fight for his health, as the gate receipts would hardly be more than $25,000, or $30,000 at the most, which would mean about $3,000 or $4,000 for Langford. Isn't it funny that Langford, a top-notcher, has never made more than $6,000 in any of his fights? I think it's time for Sam to do some demanding. ISN'T IT AWFUL? Sam Berger, manager of big Jim Jeffries, is so confident that Jeff will win that he is going to take him and a few more of the white champs abroad about July 10, and he says he won't have anything but world's champions on his great trip abroad. Well, if Mr. Jeff loses, then what? Well, I think that will be one of the sickliest bunches you ever heard tell of. I am mighty afraid that Sam and Jim will have to sneeze, for their brains are very dusty. WE ARE GOING TO THE FIGHT. There will be about 75 of Denver's colored sports leave for the fight on July 4 and they will take as much as $8,000 to bet on Johnson. That looks good for Denver. as it shall be well represented by the colored and white sports. JOE GANS' SPECIAL TRAIN.

The Chicago colored sports are all sore on Jack just because he has become so prominent, and they think he has the swelled head, but I am thinking Jack knows just what he is doing. Money is what Jack is after and we should help him to get it, as he is the only negro who we have got to beat this man Jeffries; even Sam Langford don't want Jeffries. COOK AND STEVENS. Those clever comedians at the Orpheum are making a hit with their comedy called "No Talkee, No Washee." They do a lot of hopdream strunts and funny singing and dancing. BROWN AND BROWN Will not be in Denver this season. They will play in Chicago next week, in Indianapolis the week after next, and then in New York for ten weeks. They both send regards to friends in Denver and write that there is no place like this town. LANGFORD MAY JOIN JEFF. All arrangements for the big training quarters for Jeffries at the Rowardennan were completed the other day, and contracts signed. Work will be rushed in placing the camp in readiness, as Jeffries and a corps of men and trainers will reach Santa Cruz about Monday, April 4. It is reported that Sam Langford may be added to Jeffries' list of sporting partners. VOCAL SCHOOL. Prof. Watson, late of Philadelphia, was talking to me about opening a singing school in Denver, and wanted to know if I thought it would pay. Well, the Professor is a very capable teacher, and I am thinking it would be a great advantage for those who would like to sing. He is also organizing a great choir for the Redeemer Church, and says it will be a great success, as he was instructor for one of the largest churches in the city of Philadelphia. STUNG.

Panama Mourns er , — Loss of Obaldia cr” ae Ai People, Shocked by Unexpected Death of Chief Magistrate, Turn to Mendoza For Guidance and Are Giving Him Their Support—Resume of Negro States: manship In the United States, By N. BARNETT DODSON. The death of Don Jose Domingo de Obaldia, president of Panama, which occurred on March 2, and the ascend. ency of Dr. Carlos A. Mendoza te the presidency recall some interest: ing facts as to the part which Ne groes have played in national and state affairs in the United States. One of the most striking instances in this connection happened in Louisiana in 1871, when our own Pinckney Benton Stewart Pinchback, who is still living, was on Dee. 6, 1871, elected president pro tem. of the state senate and also lieutenant governor to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Oscar Dunn. Mr. Pinehback was acting governor of Louisiana during the impeachment trial of Governor Warmoth from Dee. 9, 1872, to Jan. 13, 1878. He was also nominated for governor, but withdrew in the interest of party peace and was elected congressman on the same tick- et. He was chosen senator Jan. 15, 1878, but after a hot cebate, which lasted for three years, lie was not al- lowed to be seated. The vote was thirty-two to twenty-nine. He was, however, given the pay and mileage of a senator. B. K. Bruce served as sergeant-at- arms of the MissIssippi legislature and on Feb. 3, 1875, was elected United States senator, taking his seat in that august body March 4 and serving until March 3, 1881. In West Virginia at the present time J, C. Gilmer holds the position of state librarian. And so we might go on to enumerate many more exceptional examples in which the Negro has proved his worth and shown his capacity as a statesman, Dr. Carlos A. Mendoza, the new pres. ident of Panama, is a Negro, the ac: knowledged leader of the Libera party. He is a self made man wh« by his own energy and perseverance has become one of the most influentia men in Central America. He is ¢ noted lawyer and has always taker a lively interest in political affairs In most every revolution on the isth mus for the past ten years he has been a leading figure. President Men doza has issued the following procia mation on the death of Presiden Obaldia expressing the sorrow of th nation at the event which has depriv ed Panama of “the noble and disin terested services of her most illustri ous son.” The proclamation says: As a tribute to the memory of my chiet fellow citizen and friend, knowing as knew his desires, aspirations and patri otic endeavors I declare that in the shor time | shal! wccupy the undeserved pos of president | will inspire all my acts i the policy of concord, moderation and tol erance he established and maintained. Amerivans took a prominent part | the funeral of the late president. Th commander of the United States ma rines asked the foreign office for per mission to attend with his men, beat ing arms in the-city. ‘The officials o the isthmian canal commission ani the ministers and consuls, native an foreign, were also in attendance President Mendoza delivered the ft 4 + 7 | ie i‘ Ps 4) | -—" r TS | ae PRESIDENT 0. A. MENDOZA. nerai orauvu. Nothing in the political situation on the isthmus has so far arisen to occa- sion alarm. ‘The people of Panama have been concerned only with the death of the president, who was looked upon as a great organizer and who had just completed plans for the de- velopment of the country. The con- servatives and the partisaus of the late president are giving their support to Mendoza. SUCCESS OF C. C. WHITE. Young Violinist Scheduled to Appear In Washington May 9. Musical organizations, professional singers and instructors of music in many sections of the country are be- ginning to manifest keen interest in the homecoming of Clarence Cameron White, who has been abroad pursuing a special course in violin study about two years. Before going to Europe Mr, White was easily one of the fore- most violinists of the race in America, His progress in the art of music has been simply wonderful, and his suc- cess under M. Zacharewitsch, the re- nowned Russian violinist, has been great. Mr. White will return to Washington in time to make ample preparation for his first public appearance at home, whieh will be in the nature of a wel- come concert at the Metropolitan A. M. E. church, Washington, on Monday evening, May 9. He will be assisted by Professor Henry Thacker Burleigh of New York and other noted voéalists. Institute For Y. M. C. A. Workers. With Lyman L. Pierce as instructor the Central Young Men's Christian as- sociation, Pittsburg, will open an insti- tute for prospective Y. M. C. A. secre- taries, committeemen and other work- ers in an official capacity. This is a splendid opportunity for our young men to equip themselves for the work of the branch for our people. The ses- sions will be held on Monday nights at the Central Y. M. C, A. building, Penn- sylvania avenue and Seventh street. Craftsmen Given Third Dearee.

H. H. Murray. By "BRUCE GRIT." In the person of Walter Everett Hawkins of Warrenton, N. C., who has written a book of poems of some eighty-one pages, the race has a new poet. In every page one discovers the fact that a real genius, a master word painter, one thoroughly in earnest and in love with his work, was behind the pen that put life and vigor into them. The young man, who is just twenty-four, is the son of a noble, manly, God fearing father, one of the "seldom sort" who did not fear the face of clay, who was a man in the broadest acceptance of the term and who bequeathed to his talented son those noble and manly qualities of head and heart which compel one's admiration. Nature made him a poet, and he supports a commerce with the muses which reveals to all lovers of true poetry the fact that nature has dealt with him most generously. The title of this charming collection of poems is "Chords and Discords," and it is dedicated to the elder Hawkins in these words: "To the memory of a resolute father, whose stern Christian character finds agreeable balance in [Picture of a man in a suit]. WALTER E. HAWKINS. the pliant devotions of a kindly mother and to a galaxy of brothers and sisters whose kind indulgences have inspired my dreams, I dedicate this volume." F. H. H. Murray, publisher of the poems, wrote the introductory, a scholarly and masterful presentation of the claims of our newest poet to public favor. Among some of the best poems in the book are "A Song to Our Women," "Immortality," "Ode to Ethiopia," "Remember Brownsville," "To Booker T. Washington," "To the Boston Guardian," "To Dr. W. E. B. Dubois" and "Where Freedom Is." As a matter of fact, all the poems are literary gems, but especial attention is directed to those cited because of their deep THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. significance, their racial and patriotic fervor, their bold and courageous trend and the truths ther breathe. ZEAL MINUS KNOWLEDGE. Educational Leaders Warned Not to Underrate Capabilities of Youth. We want to throw out this hint to those of our educational leaders who are zealous workers in the cause of education among us lest they overreach themselves in their endeavor to obtain funds for such work and underrate the possibilities of our young men and women to grasp, pursue and retain knowledge of the higher branches of learning. For instance, the last analysis of the report of the committee appointed by the Maryland state board of education to select a suitable site for the proposed normal school for Afro-Americans in that state concludes thus: "The present plans call for a school wherein will be trained colored teachers in the common school branches so far as the eighth grade. Then the girls will be given instructions in household science, and the men will be taught manual training and mechanical work. "No attempt will be made to teach advanced classes. This is said to be in line with the desire of the leaders of the colored race, who have asked that the youth of their race be given the foundation of an education, and they will see that those who are suited for professional courses will be given an opportunity to pursue them." We have the highest respect for those who are giving the best of their lives in the work of uplift among us; we respect their zeal, but zeal without knowledge is damnable. HEAD WORKER MAKES REPORT. Optimistic Note Struck at Meeting of Settlement Workers In Brooklyn by Mrs. E. Jones Petty. The success of the Lincoln Settlement association in Brooklyn was clearly indicated at a recent meeting of the workers of the organization in a very encouraging report made by Mrs. E. Jones Petty, head worker, who told in an interesting way of the objects, aims and progress the movement is making. Mrs. Petty said: "There are in the institution a gymnasium class, sewing circle, Story Hour club, Mothers' club, Neighborhood club and Boys' Musical club. "The first floor is occupied by a well attended kindergarten, the second by the day nursery, which is in charge of Mrs. Katie Rederick, and the third is the home of the head worker. The girls' clubroom, which is on the ground floor, is being nicely fitted up by the Neighborhood club and is open every Thursday to all working girls of good character, who are in search of healthy influences, from 2 to 10 p. m. Many of the ladies of the association are contributing toward the furnishings of this room. Giles Heads Sons of North Carolina. The Society of the Sons of North Carolina, one of the largest mutual benefit organizations in Brooklyn, at its annual meeting, which was recently held at Granada hall, elected the following officers: Counselor Francis F. Giles, president (re-elected); vice president, Benjamin Williams; financial secretary, S. S. Taylor; recording secretary, William J. Butler; corresponding secretary, Charles H. Walker; treasurer, F. D. Lofton; chaplain, R. L. Wadden; sergeant-at-arms, A. P. Green; board of directors, A. D. Payton, John H. Dickerson, W. C. Henry, J. B. Mosley, W. H. Henderson. New Field For Making Money Afro-Americans May Engage in the Poultry and Egg Business-Success of John O'Lacey, Who Has Won Valuable Prizes From State Fairs and Poultry Associations. "The poultry and egg business is one which colored Americans seem to have eschewed except in a most desultory manner," said John O'Lacey to the writer upon his return to Detroit recently from the Buffalo poultry show. "Out of 4,000 or 5,000 persons who attended that show not one colored person was among them." A visit to Mr. O Lacey's city apartments at 55 Beacor street, Detroit, disclosed the fact that this celebrated poultry fancier has won over 400 prizes during his career in the business, including state fair ribbons and poultry JOHN H. HARRIS association loving cups, medals and other valuable prizes. The walls of these apartments are literally covered with emblems of Mr. O'Lacey's success in Michigan and elsewhere. Some of the facts of the business gained from my talk with him are as follows: There is no color line in the poultry business. The business has reached the proportions of $400,000,000 per annum. One chicken will net $2.40 a year. Fresh eggs for table fetch from 25 to 50 cents per dozen. Fancy eggs for sittings bring from 50 cents to $3 a sitting. It costs $1.40 a year to feed one chicken at the present high cost of foodstuffs. It is as easy to hatch 200 chicks by incubator as it is to look after two sitting hens, and there are no lice in the machine to sicken the brood. When the business is understood it is as easy to take care of 500 chickens as it is to care for fifty. The PAGE... pronts on 100 chicks will not fall below $240, and on 1,000 chicks it will be $2,400. That this is a conservative statement is proved by the showing made by one poultry farmer who attended the Buffalo show and demonstrated that he earned over $9,000 during the preceding year and had only 1,900 chickens to start with. This is a profit of $4.50 a chicken, or $2 higher than the estimate above given. Mr. O'Lacey is a regular exhibitor at the state fairs and exhibitions of the Michigan Poultry association. For four years he has been assistant superintendent of these exhibitions and has been engaged as one of the managers L LOVING CUP (PRIZE.) of the poultry show to be held in Chicago this year from Dec. 8 to 14, inclusive. Mr. O'Lacey has never operated on a large scale, and several of his friends are trying to secure his active assistance as manager to organize an Afro-American chicken and egg company and commence operations with a capital of from $10,000 to $25,000. With the experience of the Buffalo concern in mind it is confidently believed that 100 per cent could regularly be made on such an investment. Then the establishment of such a farm would serve as a sort of training school for poultry raisers. The field is an unlimited one, and it is hoped members of the race will give more attention to this particular industry and emulate the splendid example set by Mr. O'Lacey. The most notable event in women's club circles in Brooklyn for the week ending March 26 was the visit of Miss Elizabeth C. Carter of New Bedford, Mass., who was the guest of the Brooklyn clubs under the auspices of the Dorcas Home Missionary society of the Concord Baptist church, where a magnificent reception was given Miss Carter before she left the city for Washington, where she will address the famous Bethel Literary and Historical society. Republicans Will Yet See Fiery Day. The Savannah (Ga.) Tribune makes the following political prophesy: "It is said that every dog has his day. It is also true that some of the fellows who are now endeavoring to kick aside representative colored Republicans who have faced all sorts of dangers for the party in the past are going to have their day, and we predict that their day is going to be of the fiery kind which is unprintable."

ALLIANCE ON APRIL 14. The Board of Directors decided in their regular monthly meeting to postpone their meeting for the 31st to be held at the Presbyterian church until April 14, to occur at the same place. This meeting is for the purpose of getting closer in touch with the negro citizens of Denver as to the protecting of our civil rights. The Alliance noted Sunday with much care and some apprehension the recent appointing of the school committee by the Governor "to revise and amend" the constitution and statutes of this state. Now is the time for the negroes to be active and not wait until it is too late, as in the case of the Negro lodges. On to People's Presbyterian church April 14, and hear some vital information.

Dear Sir—Will you allow me space in four issues of The Statesman for the publication of four continued articles, at my expense and responsibility? Title of articles, "The Beast In the Negro's Jungle," which will treat on the social, political, professional and business situation in Denver and Colorado. As we are not of the same political faith, I thought it best to ask your consideration in advance, as the political subject discussed from an independent point of view, might interfere with the political situation of your paper, notwithstanding that the articles will appear under my signature. The data will be ready for publication about April 1, and will require from one to ne and a half columns space. Hoping for an early reply, I remain, Yours truly, O. T. JACKSON. OUR ANSWER SEND YOUR LETTER, MR. JACK SON! THIS IS THE PEOPL PAPER, OPEN TO THEIR USE ON ANY SIDE OF ALL PUBLIC QUESTIONS. The playing of the Olympia band Sunday for the Knights of Pythias was the best that has been here for years, even when compared with white union bands that have served on similar occasions in other years. This band is our own, composed of our home boys, and carries with it the best wishes of many relatives and friends of the players. It has further, the sentimental interest that attaches to the attempts of members of the race to succeed. The Statesman calls attention to its superior work in order to increase the number of its friends and well-wishers. Other orders may well follow the Knights in using this band when they parade. The death of Associate Justice Brewer removes from the arena of American life the one man whose staunch adherence to equity in the highest court of the land, has given the negro hope that some day, somehow, a case involving our rights will be tried there that will decide our A Word About Rates (Denver rates ought not be compared all conditions are the same.

(The Editor will undertake each week to state in simple language the facts about some point involved in the water question) Denver rates ought not be compared with any other city's rates unless all conditions are the same. Good, wholesome water should cost more than unfiltered, dirt-laden, water such as prevails in the Missouri River Valley. Chemically pure water should cost more than that which carries typhoid fever. Then, too, Denver averages higher than other cities in the amount of water consumed per capita, notwithstanding that we have few manufacturing plants. Fairness concedes these points we make and truth puts its stamp of approval on the excellence of the service of the Denver Union Water Company in these regards. A compilation of the facts concerning service in the many cities of this country ranging from New York City down to Cheyenne, shows that DENVER PAYS LESS THAN THE AVERAGE FOR SERVICE AND RECEIVES MORE THAN DOUBLE THE AMOUNT OF WATER. A six-room house costs $18.30 in this city with all its water conveniences, bath, lawn, etc., against an average cost throughout the country of $21.63. Besides this, the Denverite uses 220 gallons and the average American gets only 99 gallons per day. Such is the showing of present rates under private ownership when compared with facts as given in the United States reports. ing, which began by a special processional by the choir, was very impressive throughout. At the evening services the choir crowned itself with glory and maintained its reputation of being the finest choir in the west when it rendered Stainer's "Crucifixion" to a crowded house. The solos by Miss Buchanan, Mrs. Gaskin, Mr. Banks, and the duet by Miss Ida Cox and A. Wayman Ward were well rendered. Owing to the request of those who were not able to get seats on Sunday the choir will repeat the oratorio at some early date. The Sunday school and Allen Endeavor League held very good exercises at their respective services. Shorter A. M. E. Church has decided to build a new parsonage. The plan is to buy additional ground and erect the new building in time for occupancy this fall. The money for this purpose will be partly raised by a gigantic $2,500 rally begun last Sunday and continuing until May 15. The church has been divided according to classes, and these subdivided into clubs, with captains and lieutenants over them. Already over thirty persons have volunteered to give $25 apiece, and the success of the rally is assured, if anything like this spirit pervades the whole membership. The old parsonage now in use would be income property under the new arrangement. $30 PER MONTH FOR SOMEONE $30 PER MONTH FOR SOMEONE.

Downstairs there is a reading room, two card rooms, billiard room, bar, gymnasium and baths, with lounging rooms in connection with the last named. These accommodations make the Rocky Mountain Club a rival of any colored organization in the country.

The Knights of Pythias, members of Damon Lodge No. 5, Pythias Lodge No. 11 and Progress Lodge No. 8, assembled last Sunday and, headed by the band, proceeded to Zion Baptist Church, where the annual Thanksgiving exercises were held. The line of march was liberally lined with well wishers and the church was packed until standing room was at a premium. The officers of the day were J. W. Hardy, chancellor commander; Dr. McClain, master of ceremonies; John Bush, prelate; W. A. Rice, marshal; Cohan Grant, master-at-arms. Rev. Over preached the annual sermon. The powerful plea which he made for a larger brotherhood and for a stronger adherence to the principles of race unity and mutual helpfulness will long ring in the ears of his audience. It was a masterful effort, and so well was it received that it was frequently punctuated by applause. The ladies of Columbine and Rocky Mountain Courts also participated in the exercises, a musical number by Mrs. L. Pinn and a paper by Mrs. A. S. Hamilton being their contributions. It was the largest turnout of the order yet in Denver's history. The Uniform Rank, with Major G. C. Sample and staff, made the line of march brilliant and acted as an escort of honor. Much credit is due Mayor G. C. Sample for handling the procession in such military style, especially in receiving and escorting the Court of Calanthe to and from the church. Everything was like clock work under his orders. The Knights of Pythias of this city were augmented by a new lodge to be known as Progress Lodge No. 8, which was set up at 1712 Curtis street last Saturday night by Grand Chancellor J. H. P. Westbrook. The initiating work was done by members of the two existing lodges Damon No. 5 and Pythias No. 11. There was plenty of fun putting the goat through the paces and the thirty odd men initiated tread warily so that all safely survived the ordeal. A sumptuous repast closed the evening. W. C. Blackwell was chosen Chancellor Commander, the only one of the officers chosen at this time. The formation of the new lodge was due to energetic work on the part of the Grand Chancellor. The swelling proportions of the Grand Lodge will in some degree be due to the activity of the Knights and the Grand Chancellor in this city. Mr. Byron Reed is visiting Denver for a few days.
