TRANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN TWENTY-FIRST YEAR DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MAY 14. FIVE CENTS A COPY contract is one-sided. Negroes who have quivered under the lash of the Post's abuse know well that its statements of occurrences are one-sided, and need no proof that, for mendacious perversion of the truth, it has no equal. We are tempted to say the franchise is best for Denver for the enemies it has made. Do not be deceived. Every franchise is subject to court review and court award of damages to the injured party. The whole truth is that the straight-forward fight made for the franchise has left the opposition no ground to stand upon. They resort to abuse and misrepresentation because they can do no better. They know, as well as you do, that municipal ownership charges will be higher, and that there will be nothing stable and fixed about them. They know that twenty years of present rates will stop litigation and elections, and put them out of campaign thunder. And, just as they see their doom in the franchise, so you will find good service, at a reasonable rate, with civic progress and peace, in voting "YES" on the franchise ballot next Tuesday. An Appeal to Reason Right Down to the Close of the Campaign, the Water Company has Maintained a Dignified, Businesslike Campaign of Education, while the Opposition is so Busy Slinging Mud, It Fails to Prove its Case. After all is said about water service, the fact remains that, granting equally good service, the whole matter rests upon rates. Rates rest upon cost. The people of Denver pay the Denver Union Water Company $1,068,000 per year for water. They will pay half as much again for the same service if the city buys a plant equal in capacity to the present one. Estimating on the basis of fifteen millions for a city owned plant, the expense for one year would be $1,575,000. Compare that figure with the sum now paid to the water company, and it is clear why municipal ownership will lose next Tuesday. Let us give you the cost figures in detail for municipal ownership: Carnegie Sees Nucleus For Racial Uplift at Howard University. President Taft and Andrew Carnegie were central figures at the recent dedication of the Carnegie library at Howard university, in Washington. The president, faculty and student body of the university were all present in the formal opening of the institution created by his munience. Interest on bonds with which to build, $675,000 per year; sinking fund to redeem bonds each year for fifty years, $300,000; operation and maintenance, per year, $350,000; extensions per year, $150,000; accidents, litigation, extras, etc., $100,000, making a grand total of $1,575,000. These are cold figures and cannot lie. The only escape from their inexorable logic lies in claiming it will cost less than fifteen millions to build a city plant. Upon this possibility, and this alone, lies the whole case of municipal ownership. Now, Mr. Taxpayer, consider the whole course of this campaign and see if municipal ownership has shown that it can build a plant cheaper than fifteen millions. True, it has claimed it could. It has set its figures as low as seven millions. It has given City Engineer Hunter as its authority. That is all! Nowhere has there been a detailed estimate offered in evidence, with plans approved of by competent hydraulic engineers. Engineer Hunter is not a hydraulic engineer, and his ideas of water plants are as accurate as those of a veterinary surgeon about treating measles. This is the age of expert subdivision of labor, and nothing short of hydraulic engineers, and the best of them, will do to plan a water system, and give estimates of the cost. Once more Mr. Carnegie declared his faith in the inspiration of the printed page and in the uplift of the Negro race through education. He lauded Howard university and said the Carnegie education trust recognizes the institution as worthy to share in the pension fund. s address Mr. Carne- ment Thirkield wrote dent was desirous of it. Now, there is a country that the king That being true, sure- of the United States In beginning hie gie said: "Presie me that the pres having me preser rule in the old o must be obeyed. ly the president must be obeyed. Mr. Taxpayer, if you were on trial for all your worldly goods, and your case rested solely on proving one point, would you leave the proof of that point so incomplete as has Senator Patterson left the proof that his water commissioners can build a water plant for seven million dollars? No, indeed, you would not. It is pleasant to believe a plant can be built cheaply, but no builder of even a little $2,000 cottage is satisfied as to the building cost until his plans have been inspected by the contractor and the price set, and then a bond given to guarantee that the work will be satisfactorily done at that price. Yet the people of Denver are asked to discard all business sense and rush blindly into building on a blanket estimate. When assailed for the folly of this, the naive reply is that "our children can pay it off." It does not look like the children paying it off with us going to have a fifty per cent, raise the first year. kield has shown me although I have seen, I have not seen one as a library. It is last few minutes that I adequate conception. The impression it equaled.

It is a shame that the people of Denver have been treated so shabbily by one side of this water controversy. Where the Denver Union Water Company has taken its customers into its confidence and told them the history of the company, the details of its operation, the comparative cost and selling price of service, the opposition has contented itself with abuse and rant, and up to now, the very end of the campaign, given not even an apology of proof that a water system can be built below the appraisers' valuation of the present system. They have a beautiful gun, and are good marksmen, but their ammunition won't do. They cannot use faith to do what works should do. They cannot lead us into all the follies and intricacies of public ownership until they have first shown us that it will pay. Here Mr. Carnegie told about his early access to a library in the days of his youth, when he was a telegrapher. It is sheer nonsense to attempt to attract attention away from this fatal omission of proof, by saying the franchise is a one-sided contract; that rates are higher here than elsewhere; that insufficient water is served. Every Denverite knows water in plenty is in the mains, and that insufficient supply is almost always a matter of small feed pipes attached to the main, the fault of the property owner, not the company. United States Census figures show the rates to be below the average, and Senator Patterson will have to wait until he gets his harp and wings, before he is so all-wise that we will take his word against the Census figures. The Post says the the submerged tenth. The state have to take care of them. I like to help others to help themselves. "The best society to get into is the society of a library. A library is a triumphant democracy. It is no respecter of persons. When the colored race becomes truly educated the problem of the races will be settled in the equality of education. I believe what Dr. Abbott said, that the colored race has made more progress in forty years than any race in the history of the world, and the day is not far distant when you will take your place with every other race and the race problem will be no more forever." School Answers Pressing Need. The Afro-American School of Correspondence at Washington is incorporated under the laws of the District of Columbia. It has capable instructors and comes in answer to a pressing need. It supplies a hungering desire and is a priceless boon for all seekers after real knowledge which will benefit those desiring to make the most of their lives. There are courses in theology, business, civil service, drawing, agriculture, domestic art, undertaking and embalming, with text books furnished! The secretary of the school is the Rev. Dr. W. Bishop Johnson, whose address is 403 N street, N. W., Washington. No Racial Lines Wanted In Business. THE DEMAND FOR TRAINED WOMEN Unique Institution at Washington Will Supply Them. ITS PLAN AND SCOPE. Take Hold of the Women and Girls Where They Are and Train Them. Our Slogan Is Work, Support Thyself, Says Miss Nannie H. Burrougha Washington as Strategic Point. In Lincoln Heights, a suburb of the District of Columbia, just beyond Bennings, on the Columbia car line, is the National Training School For Women and Girls. The institution was opened in October, 1909, under the auspices of the National Baptist convention. The school site consists of six acres of land, upon which are two splendid frame buildings, in which the work of the school is carried on. Under the presidency of Miss Nannie Helen Burroughs the institution bids fair to become a potent factor for the industrial, moral and religious uplift of our people. The National Baptist convention is the largest organization of Negro Baptists in the world. It has had phenomenal success. But the great possibilities of its sphere of usefulness have become more apparent since the launching of the National Training school. The institution is unique in that it prepares each student to fill the position for which by nature she seems best suited. Each woman and girl must specialize in whatever line of work she elects to pursue as a vocation. The literary and technical courses are so correlated that a student cannot take one without the other. This is not "just another school." It is a school with a distinct mission, filling a niche that is not being filled by any other school. It is not going to turn out any makeshifts. It is going to mix brains with domestic service of every kind and develop the moral and the spiritual powers of every student it sends out. Washington is a strategic point for such an institution. With all the institutions in the south we have been convinced that nine-tenths of our people who come north need training, and need it badly. The same cry is heard in Philadelphia, New York and Boston. We need a school that will take hold of the "green" women and girls and teach them in a practical, comprehensive way how to meet the new demands for skilled labor. Since there is no school doing an educational work of this kind, how necessary is the school located in Lincoln Heights! But the school has a broader field than Washington and the adjacent cities. The convention reaches a larger number of the colored people of all classes than any other organization. Until we have in our homes women who know how to keep house and are not lacking in the disposition to do so the race will not move forward as rapidly as it should. Women and girls have come from a number of states and are now in train- THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. ing, to go back to their homes prepare to do skilled labor. In a recent interview with Miss Burroughs in New York she said: Take hold of these women and girls where they are and train them. There is not a woman or girl in this school who considers work a drudgery. Our slogan is "Work; support thyself to thine own power's appeal." We have a Christian workers' course. All students are required to devote one hour a day to this work. Poultry raising is another specialty. The department is operated with a view of giving students an opportunity of helping themselves. Already the school is supplying a number of families with eggs, and it will be only a matter of a short time before the output will be very large. A supply department has been opened to help students who are taking advanced work in dressmaking and tailoring. All kinds of work, from the making of gingham aprons to the designing and making of the finest evening dress, are done under the direction of expert dressmakers. Honey Boys Had a Scrumptious Time. The shirt waist dance and reception given by the Honey Boys' Social club at Arcade hall, Pittsburg, on Thursday evening. May 5. was a fine affair. Robinson's orchestra furnished lively music, and the large gathering of jolly young swains had a scrumptious time. PROF. WILL TAYLOR, SPECIALIST ON Hard corns. Soft corns. Festered corns.

Mrs. Richard Gaskin is erecting a neat cottage on one of her lots uext her residence, which will be occupied by Sergeant and Mrs. Warren, the 23rd of this month. Many delightful parties have been given within the last few weeks. Among those entertaining we mention Miss Minnie Caves, who celebrated her birthday by giving a theatre party. The guests included the younger set of Cheyenne’s elite, arid a delightful time is reported. W. E. Thistle spent a few days in Empire, Neb., and Torrington, Wyo., a few weeks ago, where he was the guest of his sister, Miss Katheryn Thistle prior to her return from her school work. Prof. Carl Ditton, pianist, who is making a tour of the West before his return to his home in Philadelphia, was in our city last week. Owing to the inclement weather the crowd at- tending his recital was not as large as was hoped for. It was an enthusi- aStic one, however, every selection be- ing heartily applauded. Prof. Ditton excells as an accompanist, and is also possessed with a pleasing voice. Many delightful meetings of the Search-Light Club have been held; an entertainment that promises to Prove a success from every stand- point is scheduled for June 2. Mrs. Landor was hostess at a meeting of recent date. Mrs. James Washington entertained the club delightfully at the parsonage a week ago.

The church and the many friends of Rev. Washington are rallying to his Support and are assisting him in every possible manner, and greater results are expected in the near future. Never in the history of Odd Fellow- ‘ship in the city of Cheyenne has such a display been given as was witnessed ast Sunday afternoon, when the G. U. O. O. F. of Cheyenne, Wyo., and the c U. O. O. F. of Fu. D, A. Russell celebrated their Thanksgiving day. The grand parade was headed by the Ninth Cavalry band, which dispersed inspiring music. The services were held in the Eagles’ Hall, which was filled with an appreciative crowd. The singing was led by the A. M. &. Church choir. Rey. Proileau of the ‘Ninth Cavalry delivered a very im- ‘pressive sermon, which was listened to with rapt attention, and was en- joyed by all. Rev. Washington in a few well chosen remarks gave the history and origin of the organization, and also spoke words of cheer and sncouragement to the body. The en tire program was enjoyable in every feature and will long be remembbered by all who enjoyed the privilege of hearing it. Death, the grim reaper, has again visited us, and has taken away ofie who was dearly beloved by all who knew her. Mrs. Phillips, better known as “Grandma Phillips,” passed away last Thursday a: noon, at the ‘vipe old age of one hundred and six years. For many years she had made her home with her grandson, Mr. J. A. Baker, and her longevity is accounted for by the loving care and attention bestowed upon her by him, and by his wife, who was devotedly attached to her. The funeral services were held at the A. M. B. Church Sunday morn- ing at 10 o'clock, and was attended by a concourse of sorrowing friends. Rey. Washington delivered a very beautiful sermon, touching upon the zrand and noble life of the deceased. The choir rendered impressive selec- tions. A feature of the musical part of the service was the favorite hymn of the deceased, “Lean on the Rock,” the solo part sung by Mr. H. C. Jeffer- son, the choir and entire congregation joining in the chorus. The floral of- ferings were numerous, and beautiful beyond description. Mr. and Mrs. Baker, the bereaved grandchildren.

Clifford Had New Legal Experience After Wrangle in a West Virginia Court at Martinsburg When an attorney in good standing is held and jailed for contempt of court for insisting that the court shall subpoena witnesses in a case in which he has been retained as counsel, it is obvious that there is something wrong with the thinking apparatus of the dispensers of justice. It was in such a court that J. R. Clifford of Martinsburg, W. Va., editor of the Pioneer Press and one of the leading Negro lawyers in West Virginia, was recently a victim of a miscarriage of justice in that state and was thrust into jail and kept there for one hour and twenty-nine minutes. The United States commissioner, a man named Lemen, charged Mr. Clifford with being in contempt of court because he insisted that he summon eight witnesses to testify for a man whom he was defending, charged with a trivial offense. Upon the release of Mr. Clifford, which resulted from the bowl raised by leading white citizens of Martinsburg and the editors of the local press, he freed his client without rumpling an eyelash. He should now work on that United States commissioner, who is said to have been drunk when he ordered his court officer to lock up the Negro lawyer. The attorney general will very likely have some remarks to make to this official. Let Branch of Y. M. C. A. Be Organized. We very much commend the movement which is about to take definite shape by our people in Cleveland, O., looking toward the establishment of a branch of the Young Men's Christian association for the young men of the city. Such an organization would not only bring about a closer social and Christian relation between the young men, but would also give them a chance for business and intellectual development on an economical scale. By all means let the branch be organized. Madam J. M. Mason DRESSMAKING PARLORS Connected with the London Clothes Cleaning and Pressing Co. 76-78 Broadway Denver, Colo.

By F. F. JOHNSON. It has been just twenty-five years since the admission of colored lawyers to practice in the courts of Maryland. The memory of the long and bitter fight to gain the right therefor recalls some very interesting facts in the history of the struggle. It was back in the year 1876 when James H. Wolff and Charles S. Taylor came to Baltimore with the avowed intention of hanging out their shingles as practicing attorneys. They made application for admission, but the privilege was denied them. The matter was carried to both the lower and higher courts of the state, but in each case met defeat for the reason that there was a law on the statute books of Maryland which permitted only P. white men to practice law in the state. The Rev. Dr. Harvey Johnson, pastor of the Union Baptist church, Baltimore, took up the fight for the admission of colored lawyers to the bar, and he never tired of the struggle until the supreme court of Baltimore handed down a favorable decision late in March. 1885. It was also the Rev. Dr. Johnson who made the successful fight for the admission of Charles S. Wilson to the bar. Mr. Wilson, who is a graduate of the Boston Law school, was then teaching in one of the county schools of Maryland. Dr. Johnson secured Mr. Wilson's consent to use his name and application for admission to the bar a few months before the decision admitting colored men to the bar was handed down. Dr. Johnson consulted a white attorney, who was legal adviser in the matter, and the latter suggested that they take a walk over to the courthouse, as the su A. the city was in session. They went, and after the judges had transacted the business before them they asked the white attorney if there was any matter he wanted to bring before them. He told them he wanted to bring up the question of admitting Charles S. Wilson to the bar and was told that the court of appeals, Maryland's highest tribunal, had already decided against admitting colored men to the THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. bar. Lawyer Hobbs, the attorney in question, cited some late decisions of the United States supreme court involving the fifteenth amendment which made it mandatory that colored lawyers should be allowed to practice in Maryland, and the Baltimore judges decided in his favor, thus setting aside a previous ruling of the highest court in the state. Mr. Wilson never availed himself of the opportunity to be admitted to the bar. Everett J. Waring, now a practicing lawyer in Philadelphia, was the first colored man to be admitted to the bar in Maryland. Mr. Waring was the counsel in the famous Novossa island case, when a number of colored men who rebelled against inhuman treatment in the phosphate mines there were tried in the United States court at PETER B. R. G. I. BROWN. tried in the United States court at Baltimore on the charge of riot and murder. Through the exceedingly able defense of Mr. Waring not one of the accused received the maximum penalty under the law. mings. the second man to be admitted to the bar. has served longer as a member of the city council than any man. white or black. in Baldimore. ( Cornelius Fitzgerald has since his admission to the bar in January, 1894. built up a most lucrative practice. W. ASHBIE HAWKINS. He has made a specialty of testamentary law and equity practice and is regarded as an authority on the drawing estate of the late W. H. Hall, who left property valued at $80,000. He had charge of the Maryland property of Frederick Douglass, the great anti-slavery agitator. Along with W. Ashble Hawkins and Warner T. McQuinn, Mr. Fitzgerald was counsel for nine colored men who were tried for the murder of a constable in Somerset county, Md., four of whom were acquitted. Lawyer Hawkins successfully contended for the rights of colored men to go on the ballot as independent candidates for public office in three instances. W. C. McCard is one of the younger members of the bar and is regarded as one of the most successful. He is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin and a Chicago law school. Among the older members of the bar is W. T. McGuinn. Mr. McGuinn won the Townsend prize for the best thesis on constitutional law when he was graduated from Yale law school in 1884. M. HARRY S.

With the evidence gleaned from the actual facts bearing upon the Los Angeles plant, as it stands today, and as it was purchased by the city eight years ago, as a basis for cur judgment, there can be no question of the fairness of the valuation fixed by the appraisers for the Denver plant. A new plant could cost no less, and is almost certain to cost more, for the city of Denver would be foclish to make less adequate provision for the growth of the city than is made by the storage, filtration and supply capacity of the existing plant. If the city of Denver acquires the present plant, or builds a new one, the present charges to consumers must be increased, at least 50 per cent. This increase, according to the provisions of the present charter, must be in the form of higher rates, for the charter says that the rates must be high enough to support the plant, pay interest on the bonds and provide a sinking fund to wipe out the bonded indebtedness within 50 years. If the charter is amended the increase may come through a special tax, but the result is the same. The water consumers must pay the bill.

May her prizes all be first, And may no member, young or old, Forget he has a thirst When someone lifts the cup of cheer And calls upon the rest, To drink the health all standing Of the club we love thte best. Drink! THREE NEW ONES. Thos. J. Gray has written three songs for Bert Williams, and they are the biggest successes that the great comedian has ever had. SPORTS AND THE THE STAGE By LEON PRYOR Will soon be in Denver with the best colored musical act on the road. There are seven in the company, and they play everything there is in the instrumental line. Duke of the R. M. A. Club has a new one, the "White Swan," and Pat of the Railroad Men and Walters' Club has one called the "Owl Fizz." They are two of the best colored mixers in the West. Well, they are still writing lies about the Great Jim Jeffriees, whom some writers say was never in a better condition, and then some say Jeff either broke his foot or hand or bumped his head and don't think he can get back to the old form again. They will have him dead next. The newspapers are getting rich putting out extras all about something that didn't happen to Jeff. But take it frfrom me, if they both live to see the day they will surely nave to fight. The clever colored lightweight will leave Memphis and go to Frisco, where he is matched to fight Kld Hart, the pride of Oaktand. Says that he himself is the best lone trainer in the world, which means that he don't necessarily need anyone to tell him anything. Jack has started in doing road work, and is feeling like a two-year-old. The betting on the coast has already changed, and they are now betting even money. Johnson will be, by the time of the fight, a 10 to 7 favorite. Of course, you see so much dope on this one great fight that it is almost impossible to tell which is which, so we will have to wait and see. Is he dead? If not, where is he; we don't hear any more of him. Isn't it funny how soon one can be forgotten, no matter how great he was? THE DENVER BOYS. Those two hustling boys, Bud Thomas and Chas. Downing, gave their afternoon hop Decoration day, with open windows at the David Hall. Bud Franklin of St. Louis, the clever colored lightweight boxer, is in Denver looking for a match with any of the boys, Young Gans, Freddie Weeks or Muggsy Shoels, preferred. Franklin has had many good fights on the coast and was looked upon as the coming kid. He is fast and sure can kick with either right or left, and would make a good showing with the best of them. Jessie Williams and JeJan Carter, the crack D. A. C. team, defeated Dr. McClain and Jack Dempsy last Monday night, by a score of winning 26 games out of 34. What's the matter with Dr. and Jack? Wake up, boys, it wasn't a dream. BOXING BOUT POSTPONED The sparring match between Guy Coker and Neil Snowden was postponed last Tuesday night on account of the lights going out in the Gym, but they will meet early in June to box six rounds for the Club prize. BYRON BOYS DUKE AND PAT JEFFRIES. HOCK BONES. JACK JOHNSON BATTLING NELSON BUD FRANKLIN. AT WHIST. BERT WILLIAMS about to do something no other negro performer has ever done, and that is to be leading man in a big white company. A few weeks ago Florenz Ziegfield signed Williams to a long-term contract, his first appearance to be as the leading attraction of "The Follies of 1910,55 which is to run this summer on the New York Roof Garden. Mr. Williams is filling a five-weeks engagement at Hammerstein's, with a salary of $1,200 a week, and he has played to better houses than any other actor since Harry Lauder, the Scotch comedian, left this country three months ago. DENVER'S PARKS ARE NOT FOR COLORED. It has been a long time, but it is here at last—no place to go where we can have a jolly hop all to ourselves. So far there is not a park in town where the Negroes can have their summer picnics and dances, and it is impossible for us to dance at any of the big amusement parks such as the White City or Luna Park. So I guess we must do the next best thing, and the right thing—join hands and build one of our own. That's the only way we will ever have one. And men with money should think this over. WILLIE SHEPPERD AND PUGGSY. These two clever colored boys, who were formerly with the Wallace Picks for a run of three seasons, are now in St. Louis, waiting for the big colored Air Dome Theatre to open, Monday, May 16th. They are two of the best song and dance men in the business. MR. TOM FLETCHER Who appeared at Hammerstein's Victoria Theatre last week in monologue and coon songs, feattured Chris Smith's comedy coon song, "Come After Breakfast." Mr. Fletcher takes three and four encores at every performance. He will tour the West this fall with the latest Eastern coon song hits. The colored explorer who is playing at the Orpheum this week, is quite a hit with his pictures and lecturing. Mr. Hensen teils of the narrow escapes which will make your hair stand. He was in company with Peary on his tri pto the North Pole. The R. M. A. C. beat the Lemps last Sunday, 9 to 4. They will play the Edgewaters Sunday at Manhattan beach. The Olympia Stars beat the Tall Greens, 23 to 7. The R. M. A. C. Clu bteam will probably go to Kansas City sometime in June, to play the K. C. Cyclones. Former lightweight champion of the world, is reported to be very ill, as he has quick consumption and the doctors advise him to go to Arizona, as there is very little hope for his recovery. He will not run his special train to the flight. TIRES ON CREDIT All Makes and Prices Sold on Easy Terms $1.00 Down-50c per Week F. J. STARBIRD 717 18th ST. DENVER, COLO. ```markdown ``` MATT HENSEN BASEBALL. JOE GANS THE BEAST IN THE NEGRO'S JUNGLE. (Continued.) The third subject of the "Beast in the Negro's Jungle" is "The Professional Men." There are no lions, rhinoceroses, hippopotamuses, elephants, tigers and those of the ferocious type in the Negro's jungle, and we have no Booker T. Washington, Debois, Kelly, Miller, or men of national note in Colorado, so the burden of proof of prosperity of the negroes in Colorado rests upon the shoulders of the professional men. Who are they, and where are they? Yawning and gapping in their offices, waiting for customers, I suppose. We never hear of them until Ben Lindsey's Beast in the Jungle herders sound the tom-tom for roll call—an election is on—all leading Negroes to the front! If there ever was a good live field for professional men, Denver and Colorado is the place. There is an opportunity for good, live, active professional men in all lines of professions, because there are no Negro business enterprises of any importance in Colorado, and there are 30,000 Negroes for customers. When a business enterprise is promoted, professional men are among the first to be benefited. Alive, hustling professional men are always interested in Negro enterprises. In states where Negroes are prospering, the professional men are in the lead. Why are the Colorado Negro professional men asleep? Why are they so discouraged? Why have they no confidence in themselves and their patrons? Approach one with a proposition that means the injection of new life and blood in the community, by the establishment of some up-to-date enterprise that will attract people from other states, and encourage race patronage, he will tell you at once. "Oh, it's no use—these Negroes won't do anything!" He commences his down-trodden talk, and will cite you to every failure of the Negro since the failure of the Freedmen's Bank. He has not the time to do a little figuring on present opportunities. He is discouraged and sore to the extent that he cannot even see why he does not get Negro business. He does not even stop to question himself why he is not more popular. His only thought is that he has passed all examinations of his profession and is well qualified to do business. I wonder if he ever stops to think that he is not himself patronizing Negroes; that he is not doing anything for Negroes that puts them under any obligation to patronize the professional man of his race; that he has not gained any prominence in the community by anything that he has done to lift the negro up and place him in a position to patronize his business. The Negroes of Colorado should not be criticised too severely for patronizing white professionals; because if a Negro wants a job he has to go to a white man for reference; if he wants to borrow money or rent a house, he has to go to the white man; if his family gets sick and he has to get medicine and treatment on time, it's the same. If he gets sick he has to go to the white man's hospital; if he gets in jail, who gets him out? Now, just suppose the white man would say, "No; go to your own people for relief"? Where could he find relief among the professional Negro men of Colorado? No relief organizations. The lawyer won't trust him; the doctor can't afford to; the preacher is too poor. There are no negro business firms to give him credit. So, poor Negro, he is driven from his own by the narrow, selfish professional men of his race and damned because he don't help those who are not able or willing to help in return. THE STATESMAN, DENVER The Japanese race have not been in our state in any great numbers until the past few years; they are away in advance of the Negro along lines of self-support. They have many of the Negro's jobs, and they spend their money among themselves. They have every means for their protection that the white man has—they have their own doctors, lawyers, hotels, banking systems, stores and places of amusement. They don't have to force themselves on white people. They lease thousands of acres of land from white people and at a much higher rental than Negroes or white men will pay—they raise larger crops per acre than other races. Their professional men are at the head of their industries, and they are encouraged by the white commercial and political influences, because they are self-supporting and producers. They always look neat and healthy, and you never hear them grumbling about prejudice and not having a chance—they take a chance and make it possible. The Negro professional men grumbles about prejudices, and no opportunities—tells his less fortunate brother that there is no use trying, there is no hope, that prejudice is growing stronger every day, that he (the professional man) does not know what's going to become of the Negro, and some have even said that, if the Republican party does not get back in power soon, we will starve to death. A nice predicament for free American citizens to be in, with 3,000,000 acres of vacant fertile Government and State lands, within 50 miles of Denver the best market in the world! Oh, those Beasts of the Negro's Jungle. Judge Ben Lindsey's Beast of the white man's jungle has retarded the progress of Denver and Colorado, and the Beast of the Negro's Jungle has almost wiped the Negro off the map. To whom shall we appeal for assistance? The white man is too busy with his own to bother with us, and the professionals of our own race have lost heart and allowed themselves to be beaten back into the jungle by the beast of prey. They have lost heart and given up all hope. The "higher-ups" are too busy with society, the educated young have no knowledge of business; the old folk have no business, no homes, no farms. Where are we at? Lost in the Jungle? There is to be a call for a conference of the Negroes of the State of Colorado. I hope the professionals will step to the front and assume the position which they have been educated to fill, without any regard as to any thought of the Beast of the Jungle. They should esteem it their privilege, opportunity and a duty to those who have spent thousands for their education, that they might be prepared to lead in matters of interest to the race. That weak-kneed professional man who is willing to be beaten back by Jungle herders, political trucksters and jack legged preachers, is not worthy of the patronage of the Negro. When he takes a stand for the masses, he is in a position to command their respect and patronage. The Negro colony plan that is launched has not one professional man on its bona fide subscription list of about 70, which represents more than 1,200 shares sold. The professionals who were the first to receive benefit from the establishment of a colony, were the most ardent knockers, without any other excuse than personal, and lack of business foresight. One objected to the president's politics; another objected to the treasurer's bond; another the preachers (which I agree to, from experience); another that he has no faith in Negroes doing anything—yet he still has his shingle hanging out in a Negro district and his advertisement for business in a Negro paper, COLORADO. and is conspicuous in the big church for trade influence. "Oh, thou Beast of the Jungle, wilt thou please depart!" should be his prayer. I want $50 or $60 worth of dentistry work done right now, and I am just halting between two decisions—whether I shall give it to a Negro dentist with whom I have no possible hope of any exchange in commerce or business association, or a white dentist in Boulder who has spent and sent many dollars to my business. My teeth have been in bad shape for 15 months, and I have suffered much at times, just waiting to see if there would be a change of heart among the Denver Negro dentists towards self-help. One dentist subscribed to the colony company, and refused to pay; another was written soliciting his support, and he refused to answer. What would you do in this case? One disadvantage to the young Negro being educated for professional duty is that he has no professional association or influence while being educated, and when he has received his diploma he has to rely on preachers, barbers, restaurant keepers, and join secret societies to get his business knowledge and influence to get a start in business; consequently, no matter how well equipped he may be for his profession, he never strives to get higher than his surroundings, or his first advisors. Any man in professional work can only expect to receive from the people just what he is willing to give in return. O. T.

PAGE. 2 Passing of a Pioneer After eighty-four years of buffeting upon the stormy waves of life, the soul of Augustus Mosby has crossed the waters of the Jordan and reached the brighter shore. After an illness of two years, complicated because of his age, death came quietly Tuesday afternoon at his home on Arapahoe street. Forty-two years of his life he had spent in Denver, and thirty-eight of them he was in the employ of C. B. Kountz of the Colorado National Bank. He leaves a brother. Edward Whip- 1910 ple, and his devoted wife, Rebecca Mosby, who for forty-eight years has been his loving companion. The relatives further removed are many. The funeral will take place from Zion Baptist Church, of which he was a member, Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m., with Undertaker Lawhorn in charge. The interment will be at Fairmount. Rarely is a community so thoroughly grieved over the visitation of death as it is by this one. Few men live so long and enjoy such a large measure of public good will as did Mr. Mosby, and his last years were his best in this respect. What weight age laid upon, never dimmed his smile or lessened his cheerfulness. He was one well beloved, and the community pays its farewell to him, with grief not unmixed with joy that it has known one of nature's noblemen. Among the sick are Mrs. Dan Mallory and Mrs. Sallie Stills. Mrs. J. B. Moore has gone to Salt Lake to join her husband. Wm. Price continues til.
