NEWS FROM WYOMING'S CAPITAL
CHEYENNE, WYO.
Mrs. Sergeant Banks, who has been indisposed for the past week, is better.
Mrs. Dewese is able to be out again and her appearance among her friends is a source of pleasure.
Mrs. James Smith was unable to attend church services Sunday on account of illness.
Rev. Washington has been confined to this home for several days suffering from a severe ankle sprain. At present writing he is much improved.
We are glad to report that Mrs. Washington is again able to take an active part in church activities. She has been quite ill.
Rev. Edwards of Columbia, Mo.. spent several days in our city. While here he conducted a series of meetings which were much enjoyed by those who attended. Rev. Edwards is a powerful and convincing speaker. The sermon delivered by him at the A. M. E. Church on Easter Sunday morning was exceptionally good and pronounced by many to be the best Easter sermon ever heard by them.
The Searchlight Club is preparing to give an unique entertainment entitled "The Carnival of the Seasons." Elaborate plans are being laid which, when carried out in detail, will with out a doubt prove the originality of ideas, and competency of the club to fulfill to the letter the meaning of their financial motto 'Success."
The Missionary Society, in connection with the Young Ladies' Art and Literary Club, are making preparations to conduct a two days' fair the early part of May. Many artistic pieces of needle work are being made, and the affair promises to be very interesting and profitable.
An acquisition to Cheyenne's younger social set is the arrival of Miss Anna Maud Pruden of Pittsburg, Pa. Miss Pruden is the house guest of her relatives, Sergeant and Mrs. Jessie Thrower. Miss Pruden is a charming young woman, possessing sweet and refined manners, and has already won a host of admirers and friends. Mrs. James E. Smith, whose beautiful home is always open to welcome the "stranger within its gates," enter-
tained recently for Miss Pruden at a luncheon of handsome appointments. Sergeant and Mrs. Plum Banks were among other guests invited to meet the guest of honor.
The Search Light Club has many friends and well wishes, but we are safe in asserting that there is no one whose name the club roll is not honored with has shown since the first instance of the club, the interest in its welfare has as Mrs. Simon Smith, Mrs. Smith does not show her appreciation alone by handsome donations of money and other needfuls, but her appreciation is demonstrated by her charming hospitality. A week ago the club was invited to Mrs. Smith's home, where the regular meeting of the club was held, the president, Mrs. John A. Baker, presiding. After an interesting business session the guests were ushered into the spacious dining room, where a scene of beauty greeted the eye. The table was beautiful decorated, carnations in a tall, handsome vase and sweet peas profusely strewn at its base forming the central decoration. The versatility of the charming hostess was delightful proven in the serving of the daintily prepared menu set before her guests, her culinary efforts being highly approved in the form of a chicken salad unequaled. Delicious ice cream and cake were served also, an throughout the meal was one of pleasure. Among those enjoying the hospitality of Mrs. Smith were Mrs. John A. Baker, Mrs. De Marge De Weese, Mrs. James E. Smith, Mrs. Jesse Thrower, Mrs. William Redd, Miss B. Lena Hopkins, club members. The guests were Mrs. Captain Young a Mrs. Hammond of Fort Russell, Miss Pruden of Pittsburg, Pa., and Mrs. Charles Bowler of Cheyenne. Mrs. Smith was assisted in entertaining by her charming daughter, Miss Lucie.
Mrs. John Baker has endeared herself to the younger social set by her hospitality and generosity to them. Her beautiful home on Twentiet street was recently thrown open receive the member of the Young Ladies' Art and Literary Club. The spacious rooms were artistically decorated in the club's colors, pink and white; the effect was magical. The table decorations were also in pink and white and the color scheme was carried throughout the luncheon, dainty sandwiches tied in pink ices and cakes appearing in the same dainty colors. Among those enjoying
Mrs. Baker were the Jefferson, Ruth Robinves, Eunice Ashford, Rosa Alexander, Lucie M. Pruden of Pittsne club.

Self-Disfranchisement is Fatal to Our Rights as Citizens.
You are disgusted with the disproportionate returns from what effort you have made in politics. The loss of even the little bit we have had makes you wonder what is the use of trying. We know well that leaders are a delusion and followers are a dream. The trouble is we want to reap a harvest as soon as good seed are sown. Now let's use common sense and the same pluck that is slowly winning for us commercially. Let's make a pull all the time, and just as our best judgment dictates for the betterment of the race politically. Let's vote every election, all of us. It is not so much unity as brains that the Negro race needs. GET IN LINE TO GIVE THE RACE YOUR BIT OF ASSISTANCE TOWARD BETTER THINGS POLITICALLY BY REGISTERING IN YOUR PRECINCT. Read the notice left at your house, giving the location of the registrars and go before them next Monday and be prepared to do you duty.

tion, but, to this day there is not a shaft or a monument anywhere erected by our people to his memory.
June 7, 1909, the bishop and presiding elders of the Fifth Episcopal District of the A. M. E. church resolved to erect upon the campus of Western university a monument to the memory of John Brown. Wednesday, June 9, 1909, the trustee board of Western university passed resolutions indorsing the plan and resolved to co-operate with the bishop and presiding elders in raising the funds for the purpose indicated. The Puget Sound, California, Colorado, Kansas, North Missouri and Missouri Conferences have all indorsed the monument plan.
It is agreed that each person in the United States who is disposed to do so should have the privilege of assisting in this worthy cause, therefore, we have opened books for popular donation. We think it is sufficient for the country to know that such a movement is in progress and those who have a fair knowledge of the man's life, whose memory we desire to cherish and perpetuate, will send donations without further solicitation.
Postoffice money orders, drafts, checks, or cash may be sent to Bishop A. Grant, 532 Washington Blvd., Kansas City, Kansas. The name of each contributor and the amount donated will be preserved and read at the unveiling of the monument. The Imperial Council of Scottish Rate Masons have already sent in the first contribution to this fund.

“THE BEAST IN THE NEGRO’S
JUNGLE.”
By O. T. Jackson, Boulder, Colorado
ers of this series of articles are fa-
miliar with the characteristics and
habits of the ape, raccoon, monkey,
opossum, wildcat, unbroken mule, the
sacred jackass and Other beasts ot
pestilence. I will leave it to you to
form in your own mind the charac-
ters of my subjects.
The first subject is “The leading
Negro in Colorado.” Who is _ this
leading negro? Where did he come
from? By whose authority did he
become the leading Negro” Is he a
business man? Is he a philanthio
pist? Is he a manufacturer? Is he
a land owner and taxpayer? Dovs or
has he any influence by actual worta
to command any recognition among
commercial and producing people?
Has he more influence than a Negro
who is a leader in production and ac-
cumulation? YES. Because he is self-
styled and appointed LEADING NE-
GRO by Judge Ben Lindsey's “BEAST
IN THE JUNGLE” to lead the Negro
thus far and no farther—to the poles
and vote him as they desire; and it is
his duty to discredit every Negro who
is leading by his industry.
The leading Negro 's prominent
and occupies a front pew in the big
churches, and when he wants to ped-
die his slush and exhibit his slave sod
war relics at campaign times he does
not have to hire a hall—the doors ot
the big churches are alwiys thrown
wide open to this LEADING NEGRO
—he must be heard for the edification
of the coming generation.
Colorado possesses more leading
Negroes than any other state in the
Union, according to its population.
It is surprising to know how man)
are Republicans, and this a Re;
can state! Republicans most alway:
have been in power for the past
years in state and municipal gove
ments, Yet we cannot point to one
single thing of credit that this LEAD-
.ING NEGRO has accomplished in the
past that is of any interest to
our present condition politically,
socially or commercially. In fact, oui
conditions have been growing wo
since the advent of the LEADIN(
NEGRO. When he is asked why we
are not making better progress, hi
excuse js that the Negroes are becom
ing so independent in their views
along political lines that we cannot
organize to prove our /mportance to
the white man, and that the Negro
Democrats are making it hard for ai
of us (Republicans) to get a job for
ourselyes (leading Negro.) Too bad,
poor fellows, that they have to be
beaten back into the Jungle by the
more powerful Beast.
Had there been no independent and
Democratic Negroes the past four
years, how many Negroes would there
be in the employment of the state and
local government, since they are
Democratic?
A successful leader (white or black)
in any movement of interest to the
massos must be, at this » progressive
age, shorn from all selfish motives.
I have failed yet to find in Colorado a
LEADING NEGRO (self-styled or ap-
pointed) who would take the time to
make a thorough Investigation of a
proposition submitted for the better-
ment of the Negroes’ condition, — in-
dustrially, beyond his own (leading
negro) personal interest.
Great men are called great for their
greatness and sacrifices for the mass-
THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO.
ing in his efforts to do something ard
anything in the interest of his con-
stituency, sacrificing his desire for a
political position for himself, until his
supporters are cared for, ever watcn-
ful for the opportunity of his race.
Such a Negro leader has not yet ap-
peared in Colorado. Such a_ leader
would be respected by the best class
of Democrats, Republicans and his
race, because they would have faith
in his sincerity and honesty in his
dealings with a party and his race.
Can the Republicans boast of a 1e
liable leader among their leading
bunch? Or can the Democrats? Leac-
ers that are set up as monuments for
us to adore? Where are all these
LEADING NEGRO Republicans that
are usually howling around about
election times, and then they a:¢
holding a fat job? They must be
asleep in the Jungle for the past fit-
teen months, waiting the sounding of
the tom-toms by the herders of Judge
Ben Lindsey’s “Beast in the Jungte
\to prepare to perform at the crack oi
their master’s whip.
After the election it is all off with
the white man, so far as the campaign
Was concerned, and the victor and de-
feated get together for the best inter-
est of the white people, regardless of
party in power.
| With the Negro it is different. It
the Democrats happen to win, this
leading Negro Republican is out with
his tom-tom and sounds a warning
back to the Jungle that ‘it is all off—
Democrats in power—nothing doing.
All Negroes take to the Jungle and
sleep for two or four years!”
If the leading Negro was sincere in
i his leading and interest in the masses
thay would rally to those Negroes
who were successful and assist them
‘in doing all they could for the race
; which would better their opportuni-
ues to do something when the Re-
publicans were in power. The white
{man would have more respect an
| consideration for the Negro politician
if he could believe that he was sin-
cere and interested in politics for the
| betterment of the conditions of his
| people, NO MATTER UNDER WHA‘
HEAD HE PREACHED HIS POLI.
TICS. Negro Republican, Negro Dein-
/ocrat, Negro Socialist or Negro any
other name looks the same to white
politicians. JUST NEGROES—THA':
1S ALL.
What does attract a white politi-
clan's attention is your race sincerity
| of purpose, and if you have any he
eH readily detect it, and he will be
}with you not only in politics, but in
jany other matter that has a tendence
to make the Negro independent and a
self-supporting citizen. What the
white man wants Is to be relieved of
his burden—not only the Negro, but
his own dependents (which are
many), When he sees a ray of hope
and sunshine from the Negroes _ to-
| ward SELF HELP he becomes inter-
ested and is ready to lend a helping
hand, because he knows that every
negro who becomes independent po-
litically or industriously lightens his
burden,
Whenever there is a movement
started in Colorado that looks as
though something might be done to
organize the Negro industriously, do
you know that it is usually th
LEADING NEGRO who checks its
| progress?

CRIMINAL STATISTICS.
Whites of South Carolina Commit
More Crimes Than Negroes.
In the state of South Carolina it is
estimated that the Negroes outnumber
the whites three to two, says the Port-
land (Ore.) Advocate, yet, according
to the criminal statistics just complet-
ed for 1909, the larger number of mur-
ders and the other more heinous crimes
of that state are committed by the
whites,
Can any one in view of this fact say
that the race {s not rapidly advancing
morally, especially when it is consid-
ered that in that portion of the coun-
try which possesses the greatest in-
centive for crime its moral courage and
its ethical attainments are far greater
and worthier than those of the whites
with all their centuries of civilization?
It is another feather in the hats of
the optimists.

The type must go right. There's no other way. it cannot wobble up or

The simple mechanism which secures perfect work in the Underwood

look at it? Knowledge of the Underwood will help you to secure greater

It Makes No Difference In Damages Whether a Man Is White or Black, Says Justice McCall.
Before Justice McCall in the supreme court, New York, on Friday, April 1, George W. Griffin was given a verdict of $1,000 against Daniel M. Brady, the "brass king," for false imprisonment. When the case was tried in 1909 before Judge Dugro the jury awarded Mr. Griffin a verdict for $2,500, but Judge Dugro saw fit to set aside the verdict as excessive, holding that a Negro could not in law be damaged as much as a white man under the same circumstances.
It was different, however, when the case came before Justice McCall on an order from the appellate division for retrial. Judge McCall told the jury that it made no difference in damages whether a man was white or black. Brady caused Griffin's arrest because he missed his watch and a large amount of money en route from New York to Montreal in 1909. At the trial before a magistrate's court Griffin was released. He afterward entered suit against Brady for $10,000.
Bishop Gaines' Visit Appreciated. The members of St. Mark's African Methodist Episcopal church and congregation, Elmhurst, New York, were greatly encouraged by the recent official visit of Bishop W. J. Gaines of the New York diocese of the African Methodis' Episcopal church. The bishop preached an interesting sermon to a large audience composed of both races for which he has received manyattering compliments.
The church membership is in a flourishing condition, and all hands are working with the Rev. Dr. J. D. Jackson, the pastor, for the early completion of the new church edifice.

ZION NOTES
Sunday evening's service was indeed a blessed one. The discourse dealt with "Friendship." After the sermon the baptismal rite was administered to Bro. Joseph Burns and Bro. Curtis Harris. The addition to the church of these two strong men will do much toward weakening the stronghold of satan.
About 250 persons remained to the communion service and rejoiced around the table of the Lord. The singing was truly soul-stirring. Fourteen new members were fellowshiped into the church.
The pastor desires to thank those members who have so kindly assisted in church visitation. By this system from 30 to 50 special visits are being made each week, which is doing much to promote the welfare of the church.
On the first Sunday the pastor will exchange pulpits with Rev. J. A. Thomas-Hazel, pastor of People's Presbyterian church. Bro. Thomas-Hazel is one of the most eloquent preachers in the city and our congregation will greatly profit by his visit.
The Sunday School attendance is on the increase and order and punctuality seem to be slowly answering to the efforts of the superintendent. Bro. Porter is a young man of fine personality and consecration.
The teachers' meetings have been especially attended for the last few weeks. No one can estimate the importance of the teachers coming together weekly for lesson study and discussion.
The B. Y. P. U. greatly enjoyed the
---
discussion of the subject, "Christ Is Here." Much testimony and experience made the meeting helpful to all. Bro. Jesse Brown was the leader and deserves great commendation for his intelligent conduct of the lesson.
The house party for the young people of the church will be held at the home of Mrs. H. C. Bruce, 3657 Zuni street, Thursday evening, April 28th. Everyone is invited and after a short musical program luncheon and refreshments will be served free. Program will be published next week.
The Sewing Circle met last week at the home of Sister Buchanana in Barnum. The pastor could not be present, owing to an engagement in Boulder. The meeting the week before at the home of Sister Lulu Muse was indeed a delightful function. The home was crowded with ladies and a tasty luncheon was served by the hostess. Sister Bruce is a wide-awake president.
The Willing Workers are now meeting regularly at the home of Sister Banion White, 2516 Curtis, and are doing good work. It is hoped that more of our ladies who cannot attend afternoon meetings will attend this active auxiliary.
The Men's Bible Class enjoyed a splendid lesson last week, though the attendance, owing to other meetings, was not up to the standard. Bro. Walton hopes to see a large number present next Tuesday evening. The lesson this week, taken from Gen. 18:20-19:38, is the Fall of Sodom and Gomorrha.
The prayer meeting grows both in attendance and power. Brothers T. D. Perkins and Jesse Brown are the leaders this month.
Miss Dymple Gatewood, assistant organist of the Sunday School, met with a very painful accident last Tuesday. The accidental discharging of her brother's revolver narrowly missed rendering a fatal wound.
The following were reported on the sick list last week: Bro. and Sister Mosby, Sisters Barley, E. W. Turner, Annie Hawkins, Callie Andrews, Annie Bailey, Mary Howard, Juda Painter, Sarah Carrie, Mary Johnson, Bro. McCooke. Let us not forget to visit and pray.
The committees are getting in line for the MONSTER MAY CARNIVAL, 23RD TO 27TH OF MAY.
The morning service last Sunday was characterized by the influence of the spirit. The pastor preached on "Unity" from the 4th chapter of Ephesians. A large congregation seemed to enjoy the discourse.
The choir rendered especially fine service for the entire day. The solos by Bro. Chas. Clark and Sister Lillian Jones were especially touching.
The revolution which has taken place in our church during the last year is more than remarkable, and is almost wholly due to a determination on the part of most of our people to respond to duty. With one purpose and a united effort all things will be brought to pass.
MME. HACKLEY AND MR. DITON HONORED.
Quite a brilliant affair was made of the informal reception given by Mrs. Lula Muse at 1221 Gaylord street Tuesday night, when the choral club and several friends met the musical artists socially. Mme. Azalia Hackley was the same free, open-hearted and congenial person of old and an ideal time was spent.
On April 4th the spacious parlors of Mrs. Lizzie Froman's home were crowded with the young temperance workers of this city who entertained their friends most cordially from 8 to 10:15 o'clock. After games and jokes jokes had been enjoyed by all; ice cream, cake and fancy candies were served. Those who assisted the hostess in serving were Mrs. Goens, Mrs. Scott and Mr. Von Dickershon.

SPORTS AND THE THE STAGE
MADAM HACKLEY.
The world's greatest colored soprano, was in Denver Monday evening and sang to a crowded house at Shorter Chapel. The Madam sings like a bird; one seems to go off in a dream when listening to her. It was my first time to hear her and I was greatly surprised to know that there was one so great, in the art of singing, as the Madam, and she a colored woman. Madam Hackley and her accompanist, Mr. Diton, were well received. Mr. Diton will go abroad soon to finish in music. Young Mr. Diton is a wonder when it comes to playing the piano, and in ayear or two will be a world-beater. Madam Hackley also informed her audience that Denver would be a great city with a vocal school. And the chances are that Prof. Watson, late of Philadelphia, will establish such as a vocal school, as he was teacher and instructor for one of the largest choirs in America.

BERT WILLIAMS AT HAMMER- STEINS'.
Bert A. Williams, late star of Mr. Lode, of Koal Co., and formerly of Williams & Walker, began a two weeks' engagement Monday at Hammerstein's Victoria Theater, New York. His contract calls for a salary exceeding $1,000 a week, and he will be the top-liner of both bills. It is said that Mr. Williams is showing an unusual amount of business tact in this instance, as he is receiving a larger salary this year than he did last year.
SEMI-PROFESSIONAL BASE BALL FOR 1910.
The Rocky Mountain Athletic Club's base ball team has been organized for the season of 1910 with Victor Walker as president; Wm. O'Steam, manager, and Harry Goodrich, temporary captain. The line-up consists of well-known players who are rated as the best in their class. "Duke" White, first baseman; "Buddy" Ellis and "Slick" Williams, pitchers; "Scotty" Williams, shortstop; Lloyd Hall, catcher; George Anderson, third baseman; Harry Goodrich, second baseman. The outfield is being held down by three fast strangers who are showing up well. The boys look fine in their white suits with "R. M. C. A." across their chests, and blue stockings and blue caps.
The team played their first game with the fast State Industrial School at Golden Saturday and the final score was R. M. A. C., 17; S. I. S., 11. This was the first game the Golden boys had lost this season. They had won six straight victories, having defeated North Denver High School a doubleheader last week.
The game scheduled for last Sunday was postponed on account of rain. Our boys play the Arvada team next Sunday. The public is invited to attend these games and root for the boys.
The R. M. A. C. team challenges the Olympia Stars for a game in the near future for a purse of $50. Address all communications to Harry Goodrich, captain, at 2014 Champa street.

Death of a Leading Citizen.
Never has Shorter M.E. Church held such a mass of humanity as was present to witness the funeral and view the remains of Lawyer Joseph H. Stuart who died Monday, April 4, at 2421 Ogden street. The clergy were represented by Revs. Reynolds, Wallace, Over, Hazel, Ward, Crosswaite and Father Brown. Many white friends of the deceased were seen in the congregation. The funeral march, the instructive sermon, the suggestive harp with a "broken chords," The remarks of Attorney Townsend, who was followed by Rev. Hazel in a quite interesting and historical narrative, made the occasion very solemn and sacred. It was one of the most touching scenes in the history of Shorter

church. The author of our civil rights bill was dead, and though his body laid before that massive crowd it spoke in thundrous tones to all lovers of humanity and liberty. Hundreds viewed the body with the ease and clock work of a machine which was very flattering to Curtis Harris, the funeral director and to Undertaker Lawhorn. His body was taken to Fairmount cemetery and there laid in the vault until the arrival of his brother. Mr. Stuart was a valuable asset in any community and will be greatly missed by all, especially those who look to him for guidance and counsel. He was a member of the legislature and left his imprint there to the honor of the negro and now may his ashes rest in peace. The Statesman joins in with the community in mourning his loss...

Kansas City Spectators Greet Famous Ball Team With Wild Cheers at Opening Game on Home Grounds—Its Slogan Is Fair Play and No Favors.
Spring weather has come at last, and followers of outdoor sports are lining up for their favorite exercise. From
present indications there will be a larger number of baseball teams and more efficient players among Afro-Americans this season than ever before. Among members of the Young Men's Christian association baseball, cricket and tennis will predominate, while the camera clubs will busy them
PETER H.
M. B. GARRETT. will busy themselves with views from nature's garden.
Out in Missouri the Kansas City Royal Giants opened the season at their home grounds on Independence avenue, Kansas City, on Saturday, April 16, in the presence of hundreds of spectators. They were cheered to the echo as they marched upon the field and took their respective positions. The Giants will be stronger this season than ever, as Manager Jack Johnson has already secured several players of reputation as fast base runners.
It is the intention of President M. B. Garrett and Secretary George W. Walden to so conduct their team this season as to leave no room for conjecture as to the ability of the Giants to meet all comers and win. They are out for clean sport, the elevation of the game and a square deal for each member of the team. The club has received new impetus from the hearty interest and co-operation which a large number of well known business men of Kansas City have manifested in it at the very beginning of the season.
Backed by men like M. B. Garrett, C. H. Calloway, George W. Walden and Manager Jack Johnson, a known baseball enthusiast and one who knows the game, the club starts out with flying colors and a determination to win success. The schedule of games as arranged at present includes nearly all of the leading colored and many of the white clubs throughout the country. All first class teams wishing to book games for the season should correspond with the Royal Giants, at 1005 McGee street, Kansas City, as speedily as possible.
The officers of the club have pledged themselves to see to it that every man
booked for a game is qualified, in good physical condition and willing to obey the rules of the game without being coaxed to do so. By this means many of the unpleasant features which often render the game one sided may be eliminated. Secretary Walden has the record of every player at his
A. B.
fingers' ends and will keep a close eye on every man. Opponents, therefore, need not have any fears in playing the
Giants, for their slogan is fair play and no favors. To promote the business end of the game is the aim of the Kansas City Royal Giants.
SCOTT GETS SECOND PRIZE FOR ORATORY.
Winner of Curtis Medal at Columbia College Says the Negro Is Fitted For Full Citizenship.
In the recent oratorical contest at Columbia college, New York, for the two Curtis medals, given once a year for merit in composition and oratory, George W. A. Scott of the class of 1911, an Afro-American, was among the six candidates and won second prize. His subject was, "Is the Negro Fitted For Full Citizenship?" Although Mr. Scott was the last speaker, the large audience remained and listened to him with marked attention until he concluded his oration, which was a masterpiece both in diction and logic.
Mr. Scott said that the Negro was prepared for full citizenship and called upon his fellow students to lend their influence toward securing for the race all the rights guaranteed by the constitution to citizens of the United States. Dixon Ryan Fox, a southerner of the same class, won the first prize. Mr. Fox spoke on the "Third Party Man" and won unstinted praise for the excellent and timely manner in which he handled his subject.
DOWER SHARE FOR BERESFORD'S WIDOW.
Abundance of Land and Large Sum as Colored Woman's Part of Rich Nobleman's Estate.
In the recent sale of a part of the estate of the late Lord Delaval Beresford in Mexico to William and Edward Warren of Michigan it developed that the common law wife of Lord Beresford, who is a colored woman, had received $50,000 and more than 100,000 acres of land in settlement of her claim.
Mrs. Beresford, as she is called, has about 20,000 acres under cultivation and personally directs the care of this property with a large number of Mexican laborers. She was permitted to retain about 1,000 head of cattle, which she claimed as personal property after the death of Lord Delaval Beresford, who was killed in a railroad accident more than four years ago in Canada.
Following a trip to England in 1909, when she attempted to make a settlement of the estate with Admiral Lord Charles Beresford, brother of Lord Delaval, the naval officer went to Mexico some months ago and entered suit to oust the woman from the estate. She fought the case in court, and Lord Charles Beresford was appointed administrator of the estate.
Lord Beresford's estate, located in Durango, Chihuahua, and San Luis Potosi, was estimated to be worth more than $2,000,000 at the time of his death. He did not leave a will, and when his common law wife entered claim for the estate relatives of the dead nobleman, who had not corresponded with him for a quarter of a century, filed a protest. She proved to the court that the dead nobleman had introduced her as Mrs. Beresford.
The portion of the estate sold to the Michigan men was the Ojitos ranch, located near Casa Grandes. The price authorized by the court was $200.000.

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.

Long Fight For Soldiers Ended
Justice to Discharged Men of the Twenty. fifth infantry Rendered Impossible by Secretary of War's Instructions—Shrewd Move by Attorney N. B. Marshall. Political League Protests.
The board of army officers appointed under the amended Foraker bill to decide upon the possible re-enlistment of the discharged soldiers of the black battalion has closed its hearings, and the recorder of the court shows his intention to deny re-enlistment on the ground that the evidence proves that colored soldiers did the shooting and that no colored soldier has affirmatively proved his innocence of participation in the shooting or in the so called conspiracy of silence. The senior counsel for the colored soldiers, N. B. Marshall, Esq., refused to argue and declared the instructions to the court by the secretary of war improper in compelling the soldiers to prove their innocence affirmatively and the action of the court one sided. This episode in the tragedy of injustice against these loyal soldiers of the flag, an episode destined to be historic and one in which we can take special pride because Attorney Marshall is a colored American and also because of the improper instructions of the war secretary, is reported in a recent issue of the Washington Star, which says:
Something of a sensation was produced during the closing sessions of the army court of inquiry which is investigating the Brownsville raid of August, 1906, by statements made by N. B. Marshall of the Washington bar, who was associated with Brigadier General A. R. Daggett, U. S. A., retired, as counsel for the Negro soldiers seeking restoration to the army.
Attorney Marshall declined the offer of the court to submit an argument on the general ground that it would serve no purpose and implied broadly that the court had been improperly instructed by the secretary of war and that the recorder of the court, Captain Charles R. Howland, Twenty-first infantry, had made no effort to produce any evidence favorable to the discharged soldiers.
In declining to argue the case Mr. Marshall gave two specific reasons, as follows:
"First, because the procedure adopted by the recorder (Captain Howland) and acquiesced in by this court leaves it undetermined in my mind whether this court is a court of inquiry or a court martial, or, in other words, whether the recorder is an impartial investigating officer or a prosecuting officer; second, because the instructions of the secretary of war to this court conflict so fundamentally and totally with my legal training as to make it impossible for me to build an argument which would attempt to prove a negative.
"For these reasons," said Mr. Marshall, "I can neither argue nor can I appeal to your merciful consideration, for, in all honor, this honorable court is bound by the limitations imposed by the authority from which its instructions proceed.
THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO.
"The record of this court will show that I offered to produce testimony of an affirmative and positive character, giving the names of the participants (persons not in the military service of the government) in and details of an alleged conspiracy to commit this crime.
"The record of this court will also show that no effort has been spared to produce before this court evidence, no matter how flimsy or circumstantial, which might in the slightest degree tend to demonstrate the guilt of the men who formerly defended the flag and the honor of this our common country."
The particular instructions given by Secretary Dickinson to the court at the outset of the investigation, to which Mr. Marshall took especial exception, are as follows:
"Such conclusions as may be reached by the court in respect to the eligibility for re-enlistment of the former enlisted men of the Twenty-fifth infantry, at Brownsville, who were separated from the military service in the operation of discharges without honor, should be affirmative and positive in character and based upon such preponderance of testimony as will support its specific finding."
The court listened to the lawyer's remarks without comment and arranged to sit again to hear the closing address of Captain Howland, which will include a summary of the evidence submitted to the court, together with his conclusions.
In view of the gross injustice to 167 brave colored soldiers, not one of whom has been found guilty and for whom Joseph Benson Foraker sacrificed his political life, and for the sake of justice and free institutions in this republic the National Independent Political league urges every colored citizen to write his protest to a congressman or senator and to President Taft. Every church, society, organization and league should do the same and this injustice be protested publicly at special or other public meetings. State and local branches of this league are asked to do likewise. The loyalty of the colored Americans to these soldiers as against injustice is one of its greatest glories. Let us not desert now the "black battalion."
"Old Hickory," writing in the Dallas (Tex.) Express, says, "The policy of President Taft not to appoint a Negro to office unless the world, the flesh and the devil and his wife were all satisfied as to the desirableness of such appointment has borne bitter fruit for the race ever since it became known. Therefore the widespread 'frost' following the census frameup ought not to cause any surprise."
To Reproduce Noted Scholar's Works. Edward Wilmot Blyden, LL. D., of Sierra Leone, West Africa, who is the foremost Negro scholar of the age, has authorized John E. Bruce (Grit) of Tonkers, N. Y., to reproduce his writings in the United States. Dr. Blyden is at present engaged on several books and pamphlets on race questions, which will be published in this country in the near future.

It is Wonderful What Sublime Faith One Has, When He is Willing. The Colored American Knows from Bitter Experience.
One believes easily that which he wishes to believe. Every day that the people of Denver discuss the water question this tendency of human nature receives concrete illustrations. It matters not how inconsistent two statements may be, the biased voter accepts them if they will help out the side of the question which he supports. There is no overcoming this weakness in small people. No one has suffered more from this tendency than has the colored American. We are brutes, we have no human characteristics, we are criminals and inferior, not because facts support this view, but because the American people wish it to be so.
When in the present campaign people accept cheerfully the statements of either side of the controversy in toto, and deny all the claims of the other side, they only seek to convince themselves of their own good judgment. In the case of the colored voters of the city, who are our special concern, we are grieved when they forsake reason and give themselves up to prejudice. Do not blame the white people for a prejudiced attitude toward us, and at the same time be prejudiced ourselves in our positions on public questions.
In our choice of the greater good and the lesser evil, it is our brains and not our prejudices we must use.
We recall clearly how last year the Rocky Mountain News claimed that Denver had the opportunity of a lifetime to prove the utter worthlessness of the service mains of the Denver Union Water company by digging down a few feet on Sixteenth street, before the new asphalt paving was laid, and seeing how rotten the pipes were. At once the municipal ownership advocates hailed this as a body blow to the present company. The unthinking voter supposed it was the truth. So much for prejudice!

The facts are that cast iron pipe such as the Water Company uses for mains is good for a hundred years AT LEAST. Do not accept this as truth, but use your eyes to prove it. The Tramway is replacing the old cable track on Welton street between Seventeenth and Nineteenth. Note the perfect condition of the cast iron supports of the track and slot. Now, if cast iron, under the hard usage of street car service, stands up so well, it is evident that as water mains, under six feet of earth, it is practically indestructible. So much for fact!
We might go on and cite numerous instances of believing what one wishes to believe, but another will suffice. We refer to the different views on the value of the water plant. The appraisers with a fourteen million valuation and the News with an eight million estimate for a new plant as good as the present one, are before us for consideration. The News insinuates that the Water Company found the appraisers pliant tools of its will for good and sufficient reasons, and proceeds to discredit their findings. It cuts the value of the present plant in two and calls it dear at seven million dollars. This is a claim that finds ready acceptance from advocates of municipal ownership. Since the News says a plant can be built for eight million dollars as good as this one, and since that is the dearest wish of their hearts, they at once accept the estimate. It matters not that exhaustive surveys have not been made, that options have not been secured, that no plans have been offered with estimates from contractors; the price looks good and must be right. They reason that the appraisers were bribed to fix the value of the present plant at $14,400,000. Yet such is the inconsistency of their reasoning, that they do not believe the News has any selfish motive in its fight for a new

A Word About "Per Capita"
(The Editor will undertake each week to state in simple language the facts about some point involved in the water question)
The Rocky Mountain News is hitting up the "per capita" cost of water nowadays, showing how Denver pays more per capita than does New York, for instance. On its face such a comparison may seem fair. Yet deeper thought shows it is a deliberate insult to intelligence and a glaring piece of journalistic untruthfulness. Everybody knows the large cities are congested, the population living in tenement houses, running up five stories or more. No lawns intervene between houses. Therefore a mile of service main will serve hundreds of thousands with no greater cost than a mile of main will cost runnnig through jack-
plant and municipal ownership, nor could they be persuaded that the contractors and engineers of a city plant are human the same as the appraisers. Perhaps our municipal ownership friends will tell us what ailed the city engineers who accepted the defective civic improvements on the North Side. Their seraphic vision must have a blind side now and then. City officials in charge of water plants have been found to be of the same kind of dirt as other city officials.
WHERE IS YOUR DOLLAR?
A noble woman indeed is Madam E. Azalia Hackley, formerly of this city but now of Philadelphia. Her early career in music and song was right here in our midst and of her success in later years in the East and abroad, we have been kept informed. The pride we have in her because she is one of us and our former neighbor is great indeed, but larger than it, more satisfying, and more enduring is our appreciation of her for what she means to others. Not only by example is she pointing the way upward to the youth of our race, but by her helpfulness with advice and with money, she is setting their feet on the sure steps as they climb. Monday night at her appearance here with her protege, Mr. Carl R. Diton, she told of her hopes of raising money enough among the large-hearted people of our race to give him one year's tuition abroad where he can secure the benefits of their master schools of music. She related what her help had done to further the ability of Clarence Cameron White, violinist, and asked the people of Denver to unite with those of other cities to make Mr. Diton a musical genius trained by the best teachers in Germany, to the lasting credit and honor of our race.
The Statesman gladly gives space to set forth her aims and endorses her project in all respects. We have no millionaires to help our struggling persons of genius. Our little contributions merged into one are all we have and the effort of Madam Hackley to make useful the little that we can give stamps her as one of God's noblewomen, to be honored and cherished, to be encouraged and upheld. Let Denver and Colorado do more than rejoice that she has won success for herself. Let us go with her in heart and in hand. Contributions of one dollar and upward will be received and acknowledged by her if sent to 1218 Point Breeze, Philadelphia, Pa.
Next Friday evening, April 22, at Campbell's Church, Twenty-third and Lawrence streets, there will be a musicale in which talent will vie with talent. Hear it.
rabbit pastures here in the West. The cost of the larger main in the big city over the smaller main here being only in first cost. All connections between private houses and the main, while made under the supervision of the water system, belong to the private property. Per capita cost is an equitable comparison only where the density of population is the same and the character of territory covered, and the quantity of water consumed are the same in two cities.
The figures of the United States Census Bureau on Municipal statistics show this to be true.
Patterson as End Man
One solution of the water question has brought forth an objection from Senator Patterson of such ludicrous inconsistency that we hereby nominate the doughty editor of the News as a fit successor to Billy Kersands. He is too funny to waste his years in dull newspaper shops. We refer to the objections which he makes to the proposal of Mayor Speer to have a water commission named by the various commercial bodies of Denver to devise plans upon which the voters shall pass judgment. In his paper of April 9, Mr. Patterson styles Mayor Speer's plan a "Gold Brick."
He says: "The proposal leaves the whole management of the water question in the hands of the mayor, for the directors of the big commercial organizations of the city are not fit to present the names of eight honest and incorruptible men from which to appoint the water commissioners."
Yet Patterson wants the whole management of the settlement of the water question and the future management of the water plant left in his own hands.
Who named Armour C. Anderson, A. L. Fellows and Edwin Van Cise as candidates for water commissioners? Who but Thomas M. Patterson?
It is just this sort of senseless, dishonest clamor that has beclouded the water question till the poor voter cannot see his way through. Mayor Speer asks the help of the commercial bodies of Denver in naming a water commission. He is no angel and we do not doubt that he will have men chosen to suit his tastes if he can. Senator Patterson has already picked the performers in his Punch and Judy show. The labor unions and Denver Water League have their dummies, one and all claiming to be out to save the "dear pepul" and each one grieved because his sandbag is not larger to insure his getting the last cent to be wrung out of a municipally operated water system. Smooth politics made Editor Patterson a United States senator. Smooth politics will give him the control of the Democratic party and control of the city and state.
Ease For a Troubled Conscience. Some time ago a man was sentenced to twenty years in the penitentiary for an alleged assault on a white girl, says the Savannah (Ga.) Tribune. Recently the girl has confessed that she swore falsely against the man. Steps are now being taken to have the man released. This proves that many innocent colored men have been accused and lynched for this awful crime.

Ford's Hair Pomade
```markdown
```
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 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. Look for this name — "Charles Ford, Prest."—on every package. If your druggist or local dealer cannot supply you with the genuine, we will send you
