FRANKLIN PAPER THE STATESMAN TWENTY-FIRST YEAR REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET While the campaign is not yet on in full blast, there has been time enough for calm reflection to succeed the storm of factional fighting in the two great parties. The opinion is prevalent and is shared by the Statesman that the Republican party has made no mistake in the men nominated on the state ticket. John Stephen, who heads the ticket, is a host in himself. His record is clean in politics and public life, his personality is pelasing and his whole life betokens him a man deserving of our trust. He has been lauded in our hearing by those who have known him for years, people whose judgment and truthfulness we have implicit confidence in. He is happily free of any participation in the party strifes, so that he will poll the whole Republican vote, and such of independent and Democratic strength as want good government. We could go on to speak of the other candidates, but this one shows that the party has made no mistake in its open convention with free-forall races for nominations. Of the platform adopted this much can be said that it is not the hysterical clamor of enthusiasts, while at the same time it reflects no handiwork of the "interests." The world was not made in a day and the Republican party is offering all the reform that the state can assimilate. Piling it up for the sake of sounding big has made Democracy ridiculous in the eyes of the state, and the Republican party is wise not to do likewise. The chances for success are hard to foretell so early, but with good men and a good platform, all that is needed is the strongest presentation of the Republican cause to win. SHORTER NOTES The joint board of trustees, stewards, and class leaders adopted a resolution for a larger organization and more thorough work for the incoming conference year. "The Sons of Allen" will be organized Thursday night, Oct. 6th, at which time the entire male membership is invited to be present! All male members of the church are eligible for membership in the club. The number of class leaders is to be increased from 8 to 15. Special emphasis was laid upon beginning and closing services on time. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, OCT. 1, 1910 EVERY CITIZEN HAS A DUTY Let Your Opinions Be What They May, There Is No Excuse for Your Disfranchising Yourself The registration clerks have completed their house to house canvass and there still remains a large percentage of Negro voters who are not enrolled. There remain two days, October 4 and 10, on which they can be registered. Judging this year bythose past, the close will still find many voters unable to go to the polls and there express their choice of measures and of men. Especially is this true of the women. We believe it no exaggeration to say that one-third of the Negro vote is not cast in elections. This is an alarming state of affairs. A house built upon shifting sands is doomed. So also is a people who live under representative government and fail to do their part in the voting. This paper has certain decided views on public matters, but we would far prefer to see votes cast against our views by members of the race than not cast at all. Especially with the women do we plead to follow the instruction on the red slips left by the registrars and be present at the registration next Tuesday or the Monday following. It is too commonly the excuse that "my one vote does not count." Yet that one vote is all that the American citizen has with which to secure what he wants! If we are too lazy or too indifferent to use the means already in our own hands for our salvation, what more do we want? Election after election we have contributed to our own downfall.

A fifty per cent. vote or even a seventy-five per cent. vote loses much of its efficiency because the knowledge is general that a large per cent. of us still have no interest in elections and stay at home. Similar negligence in whites is not noticed. But in Negroes it furnishes the excuse for stripping them of their just representation and favorable consideration. It is the forerunner of disfranchisement. We submit it to the intelligence of our readers that there is no reason why white men who vote and who run politics should distribute the favors they earn among a class who contribute indifferently to the general result. The editor of the Statesman speaks with personal knowledge of the effect of this class of conduct on us right here in Denver. Therefore, while we cannot guarantee the good results of steady voting by all of us, we do know the bad effects of the opposite policy. It is little to ask of colored voters to protect themselves. It is so little that unless they do, they deserve the punishment in loss of rights and privileges that it entails. We have a few who should know better than preach that it is no use voting and pretend a superiority to the duties of electors. We have many who are merely careless and indifferent. The first class is negligible because it is foolish and is small. The second is dangerous because it means no harm and is numerous. Mr. Voter, Mrs. Voter, do your duty! Aeatures on European Scenes. Rev. John C. Love, D. D., of Montclair, N. J., is arranging to give the public a series of illustrated lectures this fall and winter in which he will present scenes from the various cities visited by him during his recent tour of Europe. He will also tell of the habits and customs of the people, their capacity as wage earners and mode of living as compared with similar classes of wage earners in the United States. The story of his trip will no doubt be interesting. All Quiet Along the Pacific.

Evans was elected president of the league; William Hill vice president, and King Hayes secretary. The following committees were named: Executive—C. W. Buford, Eli Burreil, William Hill, Eugene Andrews, S. H. Tarbet, Howard Troutman, King H. Hayes. Campaign—Elmer Anderson, W. F. Landers, John Kirtley, S. P. H. Watson, J. L. Buttler. Ward committeemen—W. F. Landers, Ward 8; Robert Ray, Ward 10; William Hill, Ward 14; C. W. Buford, Ward 10; A. T. Cum, Ward 5; W. S. Evans, Ward 0; W. T. Fields, Ward 9. The most important act of the meeting outside of the routine business was the endorsement of Dr. W. A. Jones, who was recommended to the Citizens' third party movement as a proper nominee on the legislative ticket. It is the intention of the league to participate largely in this campaign. The league is reported as intending to support Democratic candidates in the state and county. IF THIS BE TREASON, MAKE THE MOST OF IT. As this article is written there is still the possibility that the progressive Republicans who are to make up a part of the third party movement will place a colored man on their ticket as a nominee for the legislature. Two persons, Dr. W. A. Jones and Dr. J. H. P. Westbrook, have been mentioned for this honor. While the Statesman is a Republican paper and is doing what it can to help that party on to victory, yet this is a Negro newspaper, supported by and edited for Negroes. We are not ashamed of our own. Our own men of merit, whether in the Republican party or out of it, are near to our heart, and we wish it to be understood by all that this paper believes that it is sacrificing no part of its political principles in wishing well for Negroes who find preference outside the party. NOTICE OF DISSOLUTION NEGRO TOWNSITE AND LAND CO.

Anthony and Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton Presented by Man Who Be- lieves In Woman Suffrage. Speaking of the part taken in the anti-slavery movement in the United States by Miss Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, F. C, Smith - gives the following facts as a reason why Afro-Americans should favor wo- man suffrage. Mr. Smith says the first time Miss Anthony and Mrs. Stanton met each other was at an anti-slavery meeting in Syracuse, N. Y., in 1851. From that time until the close of the civil war there never was a year in which they did not speak and work for the move- ment to eradicate slavery. This re- quired a courage and sacrifice that can hardly be realized at the present time. Miss Anthony’s home was one of the “underground stations” on the road from the south to Canada. In 1856 the American Anti-slavery society engaged her as its organizer in New York. From that time until the beginning of the civil war she gave a large part of her time and strength to canvassing the state and arranging meetings for the “Garrisonians,” at which she and Mrs. Stanton always spoke. Tt the winter of 1861 these meetings in all the towns and cities from Buf. falo to Albany were broken up by Inobs. A number of times when all the men speakers fled from the plat- form iss Anthony stood upon it alone unflinchingly She faced the hissing. yelling and stamping of those drunken and in furiated mobs, and on more tian one occasion the gleaming of knives and pistols confronted her. When they spoke at Albany the mayor sat beside them with a revolver in his hand In 1863 it became evident that even the proclamation of President Lincoln would not be sufficient for the eman cipation of the slaves unless it was supported by congress. Congress was not willing to give its support unless authorized by the mandate of the peo- ple. It was therefore necessary to se- cure a monster petition. Immediately the political leaders called upon Miss Anthony to take charge of this great work. At once she took up her abode with Mrs. Stanton in New York. They issued a call for a “mass meeting” of the loyal women of the nation. Jn response an immense audience as- sembled on May 14 in Dr. George B. Cheever’s famous Church of the Puri- tans. Miss Anthony called the meet- ing to order and, with a speech filled with patriotism, nominated Lucy Stone for chairman. Mrs. Stanton, Ernestine L. Rose, the Rey. Antoinette Brown Blackwell and Angelina Grimke Weld were among the speakers. The Women’s National Loyal leseno was topped Wit pljtie Stanton as president and Miss An- thony as secretary, Headquarters were opened in Cooper Union, and here, under the leadership of Miss Anthcuy, was begun the tre- mendous task of circulating the peti- tons to congress for an act which should forever abolish slavery. For fifteen months she never left her post. Her report the following May showed that 25,000 petitions had been sent out. The league now numbered | 5,000 members. Miss Anthony began this vast work without the guarantee of a dollar. Its cost far exceeded $5,000. and all of this was raised through ber efforts. Among those who gave lectures to as sist her were Wendell Phillips, George William Curtis, William D. Kelly, Ed- win P. Whipple, Theodore D. Weld, the Rey. Stephen H. Lying, Mrs. Stan ton, Francis Dana Gage and Freder ick Douglass. Subscriptions were received from Gerrit Smith, Jessie Benton Fremont. the Hovey committee, Robert Dale Owen and many others. Henry Ward Beecher took up a collection in Plym- outh chureh. Miss Lucy Stone came over from Boston to assist in the | work. 5 Senators Charles Sumner and Henry Wilson wrote Miss Anthony that these petitions formed the bulwark of their demand for congressional action to abolish slavery. Public sentiment had now become emphatic, and on Feb. 1, 1865, the thirteenth amendment was submitted for ratification. Such is the briefest possible sketch of the work of Susan B. Anthony. Elizabeth Cady Stanton and their loyal associates before and during the civil war. Thus in view of the great and lasting work of these two loyal, lib erty loving women every colored Amer- ‘ican should favor woman suffrage. Conference of Superintendents. Corresponding Secretary C.

QUESTION OF NEGRO BISHOPS At Twenty-sixth Annual Meeting Episcopal Church Workers Among Colored People Indorse Action of Their North Carolina Brethren In Reference to Official Prestige. The twenty-sixth annual conference of religious workers of the Episcopal church among colored people began its sessions in Trinity cathedral, Cleveland, O., on Tuesday evening, Sept. 27. The conference will be in session for four days. The principal address of welcome to the conference was delivered by the Right Rev. William A. Leonard, D. D., bishop of the diocese, who was followed by the dean of Trinity cathedral, who bade the conference welcome on behalf of his congregation. The annual sermon, which was listened to by a vast audience, was preached by the venerable Archdeacon Russell of southern Virginia. The subsequent sessions of the conference P. REV. ROBERT W. BAGNALL. were held in St. Andrew's church, of which the Rev. Robert W. Bagnall is the rector. The organization is composed of the priests and other workers who are assigned to duty among colored congregations, most of whom are members of the race. Various papers were read and discussed with reference to practical questions in connection with church extension among the colored race. It was the first time in the history of the conference that it has ever met in the state of Ohio. It was in and from an institution located within the bounds of this diocese that more than fifty years ago the first colored man ever made a priest in the Episcopal church graduated from the full course of an Episcopal seminary. This man was the late William Johnson Alston, a native of North THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Carolina, who, leaving his native state, went to Ohio and graduated from Kenyon college in 1859. Since then there have been colored men who have graduated from every Episcopal theological seminary in the country, save one in Virginia and one in Tennessee. The principal question which occupied the attention of the conference was that of "Negro bishops." the conference is committed to the proposition of having Negro bishops for the colored work, and as the national body of the Episcopal church convenes a week later in the city of Cincinnati it is quite likely that action will be taken in that direction. The sentiment of the conference on this question was tersely expressed in a recent resolution of the Negro convocation of North Carolina, in which it declared, "We are unequivocally in favor of a missionary jurisdiction or districts for the Negro race, with a Negro bishop, and we do not in any sense favor a suffragan bishop for the work among Negroes." Among some of the more prominent leaders in the association are the Rev. Henry L. Phillips, D. D., rector of the Church of the Crucifixion, Philadelphia, who is the senior Negro priest in this country and also president of the conference; the Rev. George F. Bragg, Jr., D. D., rector of St. James' church, Baltimore, general secretary and histiographer of the conference; the venerable Archdeacon E. R. Bennett of Jacksonville, Fla., who is vice president and chairman of the committee on topics; the Rev. Robert W. Bagnail, rector of the church where the sessions of the conference were held, and the venerable Archdeacon Henry PETER J. HARRIS ABCHDEACON E. R. BENNETT. B. Delaney of North Carolina, for many years vice principal of St. Augustine's school, Raleigh, N. C. The conference as an organization working for the moral and religious betterment of our people under the special auspices of the Episcopal church has been a brilliant success. Many knotty problems have been unraveled by those in charge of the work where the interest of the race was at stake. Another special benefit which has come to us—the race—from the very cordial relations which our men sustain to the white peoples is the fact that the desires and aspirations of the race have been better understood by the white people, and our cause thereby has been helped. The question of having a colored man as bishop over the work among our people is one which we feel sure will receive due consideration. There is no risk to be run by such an appointment, as we have men fully capable in every way to fill such a station with dignity and with credit to all concerned.

' One of the most prominent delegates to the recent convention of the Nation- 41 Medical association, held in Wash- mgton, was Dr. Arthur M. Brown of Birmingham, Ala. Dr. Brown was & potent factor in every phase of the work of the various sessions. It is therefore very gratifying to ais many friends throughout the coun- try to know that he was elected chair- man of the surgical section of the as- sociation. ‘This is one of the most important and most earnestly sought for places in the organization. To be chosen as the head of the department of surgery Js a distinction that carries with it the stamp of superior merit. The victory of Dr. Brown over & number of the strongest men in the organization is a triumph of nation vide significance. It is not doubted that he will maintain the high stand- ard set by his predecessors and add many new and instructive features in advanced surgery, a science of which he is an acknowledged master. Dr. Brown presented a comprehen- sive analysis of the causes and effects of the “hookworm” disease and made some valuable suggestions touching the means by which its deadly ravages might be checked and finally stamped out. He is a member of the “hook- “worm commission” and during the coming year will continue the investi- gation so auspiciously begun by that body. PAGE. 16 iE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO.

The Utopian Social club was organ- ized Nov. 8, 1909, with nine members and has since then been actively en- gaged in the purpose for which it was tormed, namely, promoting entertain- ments for the more exclusive dancing set of Denver. Since Nov. 28, 1909, the date of its first entertainment, it has entertained at eight functions and all have been highly successful considering the lack of interest in such undertakings m a community where the majority of the people are far from exclusive. The total receipts from all since date of organization are $216.20. The total disbrusements, $215.50, leaving a balance in hands of treasurer at last meeting of 7c. It can be readily seen from these figures that although the club has done more in the past ten months to- ward entertaining than any other club in the community, the benefit has been derived not by them but by its guests (the only exception is the club dinner given March 31, 1910). Since organization two members have been dropped from the rolls an. five have joined, making a total mem- bership of twelve at present, all ot whom have worked with utmost good will. The attendance at meetings has been very good with the exception of one or two. The invitation list comprises ap- proximately 300 guests, all of whom have been invited at some time or other; out of this number about 1a can be depended upon, and it is as well to remark here that those who protest the loudest upon not getting an invitation are not the regular at- tendants, but those who enjoy East Turner better and merely keep the Utopian invitations in a conspicuous place for their friends to view.

Bryant, was the honored guest at a surprise party last Tuesday evening. Dainty refreshments were served and all present greatly enjoyed the occasion. Rey, and Mrs. J. B. Holmes left Sat- urday morning for their new field of labor. Many regret to see these es- timable people leave our midst as we have learned to love them for their many noble qualities and upright Christian character, and we wish them success. Mrs. Nannie G. Welsh of Denver D. G. O. of the Sisters Misterious Ten, organized the order of the S. M. T. known as the Duncan Temple, in Boulder recently. » The Rally services at the Baptist church Sunday, the 18th, was very successful. The pastor’s morning més- sage was in keeping with the spirit of the day. In the afternoon we were very much impressed with the elo- quent sermon delivered by Rev. F. B. Palmer of the First Baptist church. We also enjoyed the splendid remarks ‘by Brother H. Brown of Glenwood Sprifgs and Brother Rhoades of Den- ver and greatly enjoyed having these two loyal Christian brothers with us. This service being the first held in the church for some time, which has been enlarged and by another Sunday will find it nicely plastered and with electric lights. Much credit is due the pastor, who has labored unceas- ingly in behalf of this work and the members who have taken on new zeal. Advancement marks every department of the church. Rev. James M. Clay filled the A. M. E. pulpit Sunday morning and even- ing. The new pastor, Rey. J. S. Payne, is shortly to arrive. The chicken pie supper, given by the ladies of the Baptist church Fri- day night, was a success, both social- ly and financially, a neat sum being realized for the church. OPENING!

Moss Sunday, Oct. 16. The Concord Baptist Church of Christ in Brooklyn has begun preparations for the formal installation of its new pastor, the Rev. William M. Moss. D. D. The services are to begin on the second Sunday in October and are to last for one week. The installation ceremony will occur on the third Sunday, Oct. 16. Among the prominent clergymen from a distance who will officiate at the installation service will be the Rev. Dr. W. T. Johnson of Richmond, Va.; the Rev. Dr. W. J. Howard of Washington and the Rev. Dr. W. A. Creditt of Philadelphia. Pastors of the various churches of Greater New York will take part in the program each night during the week. The weekly exercises will be held under the auspices of the various organizations of the church, beginning with the deacon board. The church has already taken on new life in all branches of its work. So far the church has been inadequate to hold the great throngs of persons which gather from Sunday to Sunday to hear Dr. Moss' sermons. The pastor and his family are comfortably housed in a beautiful eleven room edifice at 3S3 Cumberland street. Thy Kind of Men the People Want. As the fall campaign approaches it becomes more and more evident that men of the different shades of political opinion to which they have formerly adhered are becoming decidedly independent. Political preferment in the future will in a large measure be based upon the principles represented in candidates for the various offices rather than upon distinct party lines. The candidate who stands for the best interest of all the people will win. --- Madam J. M.

It may be true that fighters can't come back, but not true with soldiers, they can go back. So Monday night the members of Corporal White Camp, U. S. W. V., and their guests went back. Back to the camp fires and battlefields. All that goes to make a good smoker was in evidence. Mr. Redman officiated at the piano and his music was more than enjoyed as he had a chorus of about fifty “crack- ed” voices to help out. The smoker was for soldiers only, consequently all those who “ran” were there to tell of their famous battles. Comrade Dickerson, G. A. R., who feels himself a boy as yet, related an interesting story of his life in the army and de- scribed vividly the battle in which he was wounded. Comrade Rector, G. A. R., also made a short talk, which was interesting,® describing a life from drummer boy to sergeant-at-arms. Comrade Clarke, G. A. R., seemed to be the most pleasing for in his serv- ice he seemed to hold the running ree- ord, coming out alive from the fact that he was able to outrun any rebe! bullet. We only regret that we have- n't space to relate his experiences as told at the smoker. Capt. Johnson of Hose Co. No. 3, D. F. D., who was not a soldier, but is a fighter and who did much toward raising funds for the flag presented to the camp, made a short talk, which was well received, and by common consent the camp accepts him as one of them. Comrades Adriance ol Denver, Lekeley of New York and Newbauer of New Jersey, members of White Camp, also made a few re marks. The success of the smoker is due to the earnest efforts of the com- mittee, composed of Comrades Collier, Caldwell, Vernell, Willis and Walker.

The appointing of special organiz- ers for the American Woodman is pro- ducing most gratifying results and it is expected. that at the close of this special dispensation at least 300 new members will be added to the order With its thousands of members and ® strong mortuary fund on hand, and every claim paid, it offers an induce ‘went that but few fraternal societies can boast of. The door of the order ftands open to receive new members, for which only $3.00 is charged, as the entrance fee. Those wishing pro- tection along fraternal lines will do well by investigating the offer extend- ed to them by the American Wood men, which to many has been a rock in a weary land and a help in time of need. 116 members of Damon Lodge No §, with the other 200 good Knights in Denver, will join you also Nov. 11th.

Bishop Alexander Walters of New York believes that the race should hold a celebration upon the occasion of its fiftieth anniversary as a free people in the United States. Dr. Booker T. Washington and a host of other men equally prominent believe the same thing. Bishop Walters has appointed a committee of five from the National Independent Political league to correspond with the various secret, benevolent and business organizations and churches with a view of holding a conference to discuss the matter. It is well known that Dr. Washington and Major R. R. Wright are highly in favor of the race holding such a celebration. These three eminent leaders along different lines of race work would make a strong team. It would be a fine thing for these gentlemen to confer with each other and then issue a general call to the public for a nation wide conference on the subject. OPENED RESORT MANAGEMENT G. A.

Great Reform Wave Necessary to Break Up Present Evil. THE NATION IN GRAVE DANGER William Ellery Channing Sounded the Alarm Against Greediness For Wealth Fifty Years Ago—Roosevelt May Not Be Able to Do More—Bribers of High and Low Degree. By JOHN E. BRUCE. The very air which we breathe is filled with the smell of tainted money, and all of it that the Negro has been able to get is the smell. The seriousness of the situation is made more apparent by the drastic utterance and significant attitude of a distinguished American who is now inveighing against a pernicious system which is sapping the morals of many public men and private citizens who are worshiping the golden calf. More than fifty years ago William Ellery Channing said: "Our present civilization is characterized and tainted by a devouring greediness for wealth. The passion for gain is everywhere sapping pure and generous feeling and raising up bitter foes against any reforms which may threaten to turn aside the stream of wealth. "I sometimes feel as if a great reform were necessary to break up our present mercenary civilization in order that Christianity, now repelled by universal worldliness, may come into nearer contact with the soul and reconstruct society after its own pure and disinterested principles." I wonder what Dr. Channing would say today if he were in the flesh of the mad and desperate chaos which men of all races and all creeds and all parties are making to possess the elusive dollar. They have subordinated all their finer feelings to the all consuming greed for wealth and the power which it gives. I am sorry to say that even some Negroes, both laymen and clerics, have caught this fever and are rushing as madly to moral death as the white man has been doing ever since he first tasted power. The London Times, speaking editorially of the present activity, says, "A reaction from the present abnormal activity all over the world is bound to come and bound to tell very disastrously upon industries even not now too lucrative." What goes up must come down. Does any sane man suppose that Theodore Roosevelt, who is now thundering against graft and grafters and pillorying the idle rich who have accumulated millions by dishonest and questionable methods, does not realize as did Dr. Channing that moral decay is fast taking hold on this nation—that its moral sense has been blunted by its inordinate greed for wealth and its consuming desire for a little brief authority? Millionaires in the United States are THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. now almost as thick as leaves in Vallombrosa. And but few of them are willing to tell where and "how they got it." Recent investigations and investigations now in progress discover all too plainly and painfully the reprehensible methods which have driven these men of great wealth to resort to dishonorable and unworthy practices to debauch legislatures and corrupt public officials in order to accomplish their purposes. It isn't pleasant to contemplate what the future of America will be a few years hence, honeycombed as it is with bribers and bribed of high and low degree, if some radical change does not occur. Mr. Roosevelt has taken unto himself a herculean task, and I am afraid that he will not be able to do more than sound the alarm and awaken the sleeping conscience of the nation to the gravity of the dangers which threaten its stability. "They that be high, when they fall they dash themselves to pieces." There is something radically wrong in our economic system, else there would not now be raised against it one of the most potent voices and strongest forces in the galaxy of American statesmanship. Doctors Use X Rays on Scott Bond. It develops that Scott Bond, the alleged Arkansas "millionaire" who performed for the amusement of the National Negro Business league, is worth about $40,000 instead of $4,000,000. The National Medical association at its Washington convention sat down hard on Mr. Bond's pretensions and would have none of him, which radical but timely and appropriate action met the approval of every delegate present.—Charleston (W. Va.) Advocate. Joseph Stanton Gets Appointment The recent appointment of Joseph Stanton of Pittsburg to the position of stenographer in the war department at Washington is a compliment to the sterling worth and fitness of the apointee. Mr. Stanton will be stenographer in the office of the chief signal officer. He is a graduate of the commercial department of the Pittsburg high school. The Armstrong Manual Training school of Washington has added a new course of instruction to its excellent list of subjects this fall, which bids fair to become very popular as well as helpful. It might be called a course in aviation. Of course no attempts at flight will be made, but the principles of propelling an airship through its natural medium will be taught by means of a small model, which travels along a wire, its motor being driven by electricity. Rallying Point For Colored Voters. The officers of the New England Suffrage league are busily engaged in making arrangements for the annual meeting of the league to be held in Fall River on Monday, Oct. 3. Interest in the work of the organization is growing, and through its influence much good has been accomplished. It has long passed the experimental stage and has now become a rallying center for the colored voters of New England.

Succeeds Though It Fails The colonization scheme originated by O. T. Jackson some few years ago, which grew into the Negro Townsite and Land company, has come to its end, as is chronicled elsewhere in this paper. Failure is a sad thing. It means the high hopes entertained by some one have been shattered. In this case, there were many real race lovers who courageously embarked on this enterprise, with little hope of personal gain, but with a conviction that they would help the masses of our people. It is to those who hoped that we speak. Was it not for the bitter jibes which they will have to bear from the wise-acres who "knew all the time it would fail," and who contributed of their malice to the failure, we would be silent, for it is not unusual for a new, untried venture of this kind to have hard sledding and perhaps fail. But because malice will make bitter the tears of disappointment, we wish to commend the originator and the supporters of the colonization movement. They have failed, but at the same time they have built a monument to their earnestness and have established the possibilities of the Negro on the farm in Colorado, perhaps unwittingly, but none the less certainly. We attribute the tremendous increase of farm holdings and even of city property owned by Negroes, to the agitation that has arisen from this very colonization movement. Not a success itself, it has yet inspired in many individuals the hope that they were fitted for farm life and they have made the start through homesteading and by outright purchase. Nothing is wasted in nature and nothing seems to be wasted in earnest human endeavor. The dollars that have been used of necessity in the operation of the company have brought ten fold. That they have not brought them to stockholders is no matter. Sober thought will place the Negro Towssite and Land company in the same class of vicarious sacrifice as was John Brown's Harper's Ferry outbreak. It is no matter why it failed. It is gone, but it still lives, in the broad acres fruitful under the touch of Negroes, to whom it was an inspiration. Time Honored Organization Known as the Grand Fountain, United Order of True Reformers, Has Come to Grief on Account of Bad Management. W. L. Taylor Forced Out. All conservative citizens of this community will note with regret the troubles of the Grand Fountain, United Order of True Reformers, says the Richmond (Va.) Planet. The publications which have been made and the stormy sessions held recently in this city will tend to injure if not disrupt one of the most progressive organizations ever launched by colored people in this country. The change of a lead- ```markdown ``` PAGE. 2. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. er, as was done in this case, will not materially affect the situation. Some of the disclosures now being made will occasion no surprise on the part of those who knew of the great controversy which was waged many years ago relative to the legality of the action of the Grand Fountain in paying the founder of the order $50,000 for two fifty-cent copyrights. But all of that is now ancient history, and the present management is in no wise interested in that remarkable occurrence. In our opinion there was and is but one man who is thoroughly qualified for the leadership of the Order of True Reformers. It is unfortunate that there are not others to be cognizant of the fact and insist upon his assuming the reins of office. That man is Mr. W. P. Burrell. He knows more about the organization in every branch than any living person. He was with the order at its birth, and should any such thing ever happen he will be with it at its death. He should not have permitted any other person to take charge of this great organization at the most critical period of its existence. Of course it is natural for Mr. Burrell to desire to shirk the responsibility, knowing, as he does, the risk of the undertaking, but he should have been made to take that risk. If he cannot succeed with it no other substitute can hope to do 80. In the meantime friends of the order should speak in its favor. It is able to raise $300,000 if it be necessary to save it. Mr. A. W. Holmes is well known throughout the brotherhood and sisterhood, and he should be loyally supported. He is thoroughly versed in the field work of the organization, and his general demeanor and affable disposition will be an asset from the start. He has one of the most difficult tasks ever assigned to a human being on his hands, and he will be required to pass upon questions that would puzzle a leader of the greatest educational ability. For this reason he will need a cabinet of transcendent judgment. As for ex-Grand Master William L. Taylor, we might say that he has done well for a man of his attainments. That he has been able to "keep the saddle" is one of the marvels of this day and time. It was and is impossible for him to understand the intricate workings of the great organization over which he presided. Yet he displayed executive ability of the highest order. He could not comprehend, it seems, the dangerous nature of the financial problems that confronted this institution and as a result had to be forced out of a position where devoted supporters had decided he must remain. As for the bureau of insurance and Hon. Joseph Button, it should be realized that the interests of the thousands of colored people who had all TERMS. Mrs. Frances E.

SCOTT'S CHAPEL NOTES. The revival meetings closed Sunday night. The church has been greatly revived. Many hearts made happy and now we start out on an era of good will and spiritual prosperity. Mrs. Ramsey, the evangelist, who has been laboring hard during the last three weeks, left for the Springs Wednesday. The meeting began last Wednesday evening. Sunday last was a day of rejoicing. In the morning the Rev. W. R. Stephens of Colorado Springs, in his quiet and soul-searching way, delivered the message. In the afternoon the Rev. W. C. Williams, the son of thunder, stirred the audience from center to circumference with his matchless power. At night Mrs. Ramsey in her characteristic vein preached to a crowded house. Never a woman spoke like this woman did. The church and friends gave her a handsome token of their appreciation for her services.
