West Brothers' cafe was the scene of a brilliant assemblage early Friday morning when the dancers in their party dresses and full dress suits on their way home from the Autumn Leaf ball stopped to have oysters and fountain drinks. The marriage of Miss Lottie Jones and Wm. Martin is the surprise of the week. They kept it quiet and their friends are having to give their congratulations impromptu. FOR RENT—Beautiful three room modern flat, down, $12; five room flat, $23; sevep room house, modern, $28. Five Points Realty, 2603 Welton St. Booker T. Washington, the social lion, is the latest. His tour of Europe, where he is meeting kings and princes as an honored guest, must be a revelation to the white people of this country who raved and tore a few years ago when President Roosevelt entertained him at luncheon. FOR RENT—A five-room cottage. Engquire at this office. The Five Points district is rapidly filling up with colored property owners and renters. Now as a consequence business places are following them. Besides the doctor, the dentist, the pool room and the confectionery and ice cream parlor, all of which are advertisers in these columns, there has been opened by J. R. Johnson a barber shop and cafe at 2712 Welton street. This place is new and the cafe department will be ready for business in a few days. The barber shop is already running. The Yip Chinese restaurant is no more and in its stead Messrs. Frazier and Lewis will open a swell cafe. They intend to surpass anything ever in the city. These two will also conduct the rooming house occupying the second story over the restaurant and the Newport saloon. They bear the reputation of conducting one place of business now in a manner superior to --- Monday October 10, Is Your Last Chance to Register.

Field, who fell asleep one year ago, Oct. 8, 1909. Gone but not forgotten. MRS. S. J. FIELDS AND FAMILY. Scott Bond's Offensive Language The alleged offensive remarks which Scott Bond made at the New York meeting of the National Negro Business Men's league are these: "If the nigger women would quit wearing patent leather shoes and aping the white women and if they would go to the country and stay we'd have more and healthier children." Social Club's Fourth Annual Dance The forgrth annual dance of the Fortnightly Social club, Pittsburg will be held at Continental hall on Wednesday evening, Oct. 19. Admission to the affair will be by invitation, and it will be the society event of the fall social season. Music will be furnished by Beatty's popular orchestra. Parents Should Heed This Advice. Give your children all the education you can and at the same time teach them to do hard work, says the Zion Monitor. Then should they fail to possess adaptability for some professional position they will know how to take advantage of all opportunities to make an honest living. Monday October 10, to Register. We wish to go into detail in one matter to make an end of the looseness which characterizes the language of some persons. Those whom we have heard speak have an ax to grind and their intemperate criticism arises from a desire to make a run on the campaign barrel, not from any sincere criticism made to correct an abuse. But there will be honest-intentioned persons whose minds might be poisoned by such talk and the facts are the best answer. Four years ago as a result of the activity of several persons, Sheriff Nisbet was impo tuned and promised fair consideration for colored people in his office. More than a month before his new term of office began and only a few days after election, he needed a man, and remembering the loyal support of our people, he made a colored man one of his deputies. He kept this man employed for the two years. Two years ago the county campaign so far as colored people were concerned was in other hands than two years before. Money, cash in hand, was what was requested of the county candidates, and that was given. The people's due representation was of no consequence so long as the money was forthcoming. The men who took such a large part in the deal of two years before left off their endeavors, considering the matter would be properly handled, only to receive a rude awakening when nothing was done. The editor of this paper, as will be seen by the files of the early part of 1909, protested and was informed that the colored people, so far as they were in agreement with him, were speaking too late. All deals were made. However, Sheriff Nisbet did give the olored people's case as presented careful consideration, and in a few months made a place which is now being filled by a member of the race. We give the details of this matter as they are, because it is due to our white friends that they be not misrepresented. The criticism of Sherin Nisbet comes with bad grace from the mouths of those who bartered away for personal gain the possibilities of our people. It is no fault of his that he did not know they were Judases. And so we might go on, answering criticism, but what's the use? The hungry politician will make a raid on the campaign fun is by the blackmail route when no better one is offered and the fair mined people can see from what is already said that they have been misled. Curtis Harris will be the speaker of the afternoon at the Y. M. C. B. tomorrow afternoon at Central Baptist church. FIVE CENTS A COPY OUR FUTURE CONGRESSMAN. There has been a John the Baptist going up and down Colorado for several years preaching the doctrine of the new Republicanism, in the person of Isaac N. Stevens, editor of the Nueblo Chieftain. His clarion cry of militant resurgent Republicanism has been heard and the outspoken clear-cut declarations of the Republican platform of this year is a joy to the heart. The time is now when the public good finds its highest expression in the men and measures of the Republican party, and the honor for that happy alliance between the party welfare and the public's business, finds no one man more worthy than the doughty Pueblo editor. M. J. ISAAC N. STEVENS, For Congressman-at-Large. So it is that now we congratulate the party on its choice, no less than the man on his honor in being the nominee of the Republicans of Colorado for congressman-at-large. It is fitting. Denver people who have known "Ikey" Stevens for twenty years and who know that he is heart whole in the uplifting of the standard of public life, point out this nomination as a signal proof of the excellence of the Republican state ticket. The Statesman is presenting this likeness of Editor Stevens, and commends him without reservation as one worthy of your approval and support. This office is prepared to do all kinds of job printing.

GROWTH OF MEN'S SUNDAY CLUB PLAN AND SCOPE OF ITS WORK Founded Seven Years Ago For the Advancement of Its Members In Intelligence, Social Intercourse and In Business, the Men's Sunday Club Has Met With Merited Success. The Men's Sunday club of Yonkers, N. Y., is one of the most thrifty and substantial organizations of its kind of which we know. It was organized seven years ago. The object of the club is for the general intellectual, social and business improvement of its members. The idea of such a club had its inception in the thrift and industry of Francis J. Moultrie, a prominent and well to do citizen of the town. The plan and scope of the work to be accomplished by the organization was outlined by John E. Bruce, the well known newspaper correspondent and author of the book entitled, "Eminent Negro Men and Women." Outline of Plan and Scope. All Afro-American male citizens of good character, regardless of church affiliation, may be admitted to membership. That they be asked and required to pay an entrance fee of 3 cents per week or $1.56 per year dues. That they be asked and required to pay 30 cents additional per week and that this sum be deposited with the treasurer and by him placed in a reliable bank to the credit of the Men's Sunday club. When $1.500 has accumulated this amount should be expended toward the purchase of a site for a public hall as a home for the club. Mr. Bruce's idea is to make the entrance fee and the dues so low that they would be within the reach of every poor man. Three shares or certificates of the value of $5 each shall be the number which each member is expected to purchase, but no member is compelled to purchase more than this. The maximum number of certificates which any member may own is $100 worth, and this inhibition is urged for the purpose of encouraging the thrifty and industrious to join the club and become equal partners in a great scheme to erect a public hall. The club has grown and prospered and is in a flourishing condition at the present time. Club's Property Holdings. By closely following its system of paying dues the club soon raised $1,500, which was increased by $800 raised at a rally. President Moultrie, who is also treasurer of the club, made up the difference required to make a deposit of $3,000 on the purchase of a $12,000 property on New Main street, the most prominent business street in Yonkers. The club contemplates converting the lower floor of this building into a hall temporarily or into a store, which can be rented at a good profit. Recently THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. there has been added to the club a women's auxiliary, made up of the wives, mothers and daughters of the members. The ladies have raised hundreds of dollars and are far and away ahead of the men as ingatherers of the coin of the realm. The permanent organization of the club was effected with the following charter members; Francis J. Moultrie, president and treasurer; Sterling Lambert, vice president, and John E. Bruce, recording secretary. The trustees are Charles E. Scott, Joseph H. Kelly, Charles Conich, Sr.; William Jones, Jr.; Matthew Overton, H. Morgan, Robert Carson, J. W. Age and John Cooley. These are the men who are responsible for what the men's club has achieved thus far. Though some of them are no longer active, interest in the club has by no means abated. It is still virile and vigorous and will yet, it is hoped, accomplish the object which called it into being. Men Hear Lecture on Sign Painting. The men of the Carlton avenue branch, Brooklyn Young Men's Christian association, were treated to a very instructive lecture on "Sign Painting" on Saturday evening, Sept. 24. The lecture was given under the auspices of the Bolton Sign company. Demonstrations in half a dozen subjects were given. Society of the Sons of Virginia. The fourteenth annual reception of the Society of the Sons of Virginia will be held at Pilgrim hall, Brooklyn, on Thursday evening, Nov. 24. The organization is in a flourishing condition, and the officers are endeavoring to make the coming reception a grand reunion of members and friends. Co-operation of Parent and Teacher. School days have come again. Let every parent see to it that his child goes to school. We should work hand in hand with the teacher who instructs our children. Let us teach them at home thrift, industry, honesty, truth, self reliance and obedience. REV. D. J. JENKINS ENDS TOUR Received Generous Assistance From Members of the Race. The northern tour of the Rev. D. J. Jenkins of Charleston, S. C., which he began the first week in June, has been most successful. Rev. Mr. Jenkins has visited nearly every large city from Pennsylvania through to Massachusetts in the interest of the Jenkins orphanage. His labors in lectures and sermons and addresses have been principally among our people, and his report of their loyalty and liberality is highly gratifying. Out of more than $2,000 in cash which he received and sent to the orphanage at Charleston three-fourths of the money was donated by the colored people. Rev. Mr. Jenkins is now at home enjoying a much needed rest. Corporal Jones Won In Rifle Contest. Corporal Franklin R. Jones of Company C. Twenty-fourth United States infantry, proved his claims to recognition as an expert marksman in the recent contest held at Pine Camp. New York. Mr. Jones won second place and was given the title of expert marksman.

A. QUARTETTE, AND MISS McDANIELS. The people of the great $4,000 electrical, ball last Wednesday night at East Turner hall were greatly entertained by the special features that appeared from dance to dance on the stage. First Sam Edwards made a hit singing his late comedy songs; second, George Elkins, the champion buck dancer of the state, did some very neat and clever work. Miss McDaniels is one of Denver's clever little singing comediennes, and she brought the house down with applause. The R. M. A. quartette will always be a storming feature wherever they play and it is true when we say that they made one of the big hits of the evening and on the whole the ball was one grand success. JIM BROWN AND SAM McDANIELS Two young dancing comedians of Denver who have been out of town for four or five months, will be back in the city next week after a very successful summer, playing the states of Kansas, Nebraska and Colorado. SAM LANGFORD AND TOMMY BURNS WILL BE A BIG CARD IN LONDON. Jack Johnson and Jeffries drew the biggest purse and the largest crowd ever known in the history of the prize ring, but when Langford and Tommy Burns meet the middle of December across the pond in the city of London you can bet that they won't miss the crowd that attended the Reno fight. If they do they won't miss it much. Burns is very confident that he can beat the husky little black man, Sam Langford, but take it from me, if you want to make a little change on the coming fight put your money on Langford. Outside of Jack Johnson Langford is the best man in the world today, barring none. Burns and Kaufman and Lang can make their brags, but when it comes to fighting they are in the dark. Even Joe Jeannette is a man who will give the best of the white heavies an awful fight. YOUNG PIERCE DEFEATED BY PATSY KLINE. In one of the fastest ring battles seen in New York City in months was that of Young Pierce, the champion colored bantam of Philadelphia, and Patsy Kline of New York. They both are aspirants for the world's championship belt and are considered to be topnotchers. They had a very bad hatred for each other and when they met last week it was to tell who was the best man, and sorry to say, Young Pierce, after 10 rounds of hard fighting was knocked out in the first part of the 11th round, but still he has a chance to work up as they don't any of them have an easy pull when it's trying to reach the top round. PRIZE PIANO CONTEST TONIGHT AT THE R. M. A. CLUB. Some of the best will enter, such as Kid Thomas, Willie Davis, Ollie Banks, Arthur Barker, Fred Clark and Brown, the man who plays with nine fingers. Everybody welcome. Starts at 8:30 p. m. ROYAL DUKE IS BACK AGAIN. After a week of illness Duke has returned to his old post at the R. M. A. C. and brought back with him the same old smile that won't come off. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Little Smart, the mixer at night, is fast becoming a bright boy behind the bar, the same as he is the best in town when it comes to making the little white balls rol around the table. Everything is lovely at the R. M. A. Club and if you don't believe me go and see for yourselves, that's the best way. THE ERA COMEDY FOUR. The Era comedy four quartette closed a very successful week at the Pantages theater last night. The act was neat and clean and they are due a large amount of credit. The bass singer and comedian of the company can hold his own with the best of tnem. They play Colorado Springs, St. Joe and close in Chicago. MRS. FAY ALLEN AT WEST BROS. As we wander to and fro seeking pleasure and amusement, why not stop in at West's ice cream parlor on Welton street? Say you would be surprised at the way things are conducted. Well it's the best ever in Denver and don't forget the clever little entertainer, Mrs. Allen. The Wests made a good catch when they secured this little lady as an entertained. She is playing the very best of music and singing the latest of songs. Her voice is one that is good to hear at all times, strong and very distinct, with expression that will make you laugh and cry. In fact she is in a class by herself and with constant study she will be a wonder in time to come, which will certainly come if she continues to do as good as she is already doing. JACK JOHNSON TO RACE BARNEY OLDFIELD. Is it possible that Jack Johnson is going to be a world-beater in the art of racing the big benz wagons, the same as a world-beater in the fistic game? It seems to me as though Jack is taking a larger bite than he can chew, but if he is just going to be persistent and race the daredevil motor king we will have to wish him all the luck in the world and be like him, very confident of winning. Well, Jack don't seldom play a losing game, who knows, he might win. JOHN STEARNS, THE CLEVER ACROBAT. John Stearns, the only negro performer on the road today who does the acrobatic stunt exclusively, has signed with the Morris people out of New York for 20 weeks at a salary of $250 per week. JACK MORRIS AND TEXAS KID WANT TO FIGHT. The clever little colored lightweight, late of New York, who is now in Denver, would like to meet some of the state's best in the lightweight class and the Texas Kid, late from Fort Worth, who fights in the middleweight class, would like to meet some of the men in that class who think they know the business. KID MANN WANTS A FIGHT. George Scott, heavyweight boxer of the U. S. S. Tennessee, would like to sign with any heavyweight boxer of note, Langford and Kaufman preferred. The Kid has fought 10 fights in this country and 22 in South America and has won every battle.

A subscription rally was launched last Monday evening in the official board. This rally will be given for the renovation of the church and parsonage. The officers started the list with a healthy subscription. Mr. J. D. Rice has returned to Gammon Theological Seminary. He left last Tuesday. This is Mr. Rice's second year. The church made up a handsome purse for him. He is a worthy young man and is destined to become a great preacher of righteousness. Mrs. Frances E. Williams, who has been on the sick list, returned to Golden last Saturday. Master Thomas W. Wallace accompanied his father to Colorado Springs last week. He had his first ride on a burrow up Williams canon last Monday. It was a very exciting trip as well as picturesque. Mr. John H. Dixon and Miss Mattie R. Marsh were happily united in the holy bonds of wedlock Sept. 23 at their residence at 2605 Lafayette by the Rev. J. N. Wallace. It was a quiet wedding with only a few intimate friends to witness the ceremony. We wish the young couple a happy sail over life's tumultuous sea. The Epworth League lesson for next Sunday is "Repentance and Restoration (Zeph. 3:11-13; Acts 3:19-26). Mr. G. E. Townsley invites you to come prepared to speak upon the lesson.

The pastor of Scott's preached in the morning, the Rev. John W. Sigafoose delivered a soul-stirring message in the afternoon and at night the evangelist, Mrs. Sallie A. Ramsey, stirred up the lukewarm Christians to action. It was a day at this picturesque resort that will long be remembered. The Rev. Stephens is bringing things to pass in this little burg. The Sunday services will begin a half hour earlier at night. We invite our members and friends to come early. Mrs. Anna McPherson has been assigned to Class No. 4. Mr. Rice was the energetic leader of this class. The Junior League will begin meeting Sunday afternoon. We invite all the old members out Sunday and also the new ones. The Ladies' Aid Society met last Thursday evening and elected officers for the ensuing six months. Mrs. Louise Burrell was elected president; Mrs. Anna McPherson, vice-president; Mrs. Ada Castry, treasurer; Mrs. Mary E. Evans, secretary. The ladies had their first meeting at the parsonage last Thursday. Light refreshments were served last Thursday evening after the election. The Aid starts out on an era of prosperity. We expect gatherings from the present officiary. We urge the parents to send their children on time to the Sunday School. This is imperative. The pastor will conduct a Bible class, beginning with Sunday. EMANCIPATION DAY. To The Statesman: The celebration of the "emancipa- THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO tion proclamation" was most fittingly observed in Colorado Springs and Sugar City this year. Excursions from Pueblo and many other places were run on that day to the cities celebrating. Prof. Allen of Kansas City was the speaker of the day at Colorado Springs. He is an excellent speaker and delivered an excellent address. There were other speakers together with select music. Miss Geraldine Marshbanks of Pueblo delivered the address of the day in Sugar City. Miss Marshbanks as a public speaker is gaining considerable notoriety. Her address was broad and eloquent at times, and she is especially pleasing to her audience because of her ease in delivery and familiarity of subject. We hope the time is not far distant when in every city fitting arrangements will be made for the celebration of that noted occasion. Sports Continued MRS. JESSIE RESSE BACK AGAIN. After a stay away from home for two years playing all of the largest cities in the United States, Mrs. Jessie Resse returned last week with the same sweet singing voice and that ever loving smile that makes everyone happy that comes in contact with her. Mrs. Resse, before going on the stage her last time, was very prominent in the social entertainments given in Denver. YOUNG GEORGE DIXON WINS OVER KIC ROGERS IN FIVE ROUNDS. Young Dixon, the fast lightweight of Philadelphia, knocked out Kid Rogers of New York in the fifth round last Friday night at the West End Athletic Club, Philadelphia. Jack Hagan and Young Sam Langford fought six rounds to a draw, with Young Langford the better of the two. A negro boxer has all the chance in the world for an uplift when he is in Philadelphia as a negro fighter and a white fighter are good drawing cards in that city. CONDOLENCE In memory of Sister Ida Mae Brown, who departed this life August 30th, 1910. Inasmuch as it has pleased Almighty God to send the swift messenger, death, into our ranks and pluck therefrom one of our brightest and most beloved sisters, in the person of Sister Ida Mae Brown. Resolved, That we cheerfully give up all things at His command, and acknowledge Him Lord of all, who doeth all things wel. Ida, thou wert mild and lovely, Gentle as the summer breeze, Pleasant as the air of evening. When it floats among the trees. Peaceful be thy silent slumber, Peaceful in the grave so low; Thou no more shall join our number, Thou no more our tears shall know. Dear Ida, thou has left us; Here thy loss we deeply feel. But it is God that has bereft us; He can all our sorrow heal. But, dearest Ida, we hope to meet thee, When the toils of life have fled, And in heaven with joy to greet thee, Where no farewell tears are shed. Sisters and Friends: Sister 1da Mae Brown has gone from our sight, but not from our hearts. We all were glad to know that when her summons came she was ready and willing to go. A loving one from us has gone, A voice we loved is still; A place is vacant in our halls That never can be filled. Farewell, Ida, farewell, we will meet you again in that grand Temple above.

Further proceedings were denied on Sept. 17 by the supreme court in the case of Miss Irene Sharp against the Richmond (Va.) Traction company and Henry T. Wickham and William Northrop, receivers. The company took an appeal from the verdict of the law and equity court of the city of Richmond, which was refused. Miss Irene Sharp is an elderly Afro-American woman who was injured by a fall from a Broad and Main car at Seventh and Broad streets on Feb. 10, 1905. She was a passenger on the car, the evidence showing that she got up to follow the other persons to the street. When she had placed one foot on the ground, she testified, the car started, and she was thrown to the ground and seriously and permanently injured. The conductor said in defense that he gave the signal to go ahead and then saw that the woman was preparing to leave the car. He told her to wait and get off on the farther side of the cross street and did not think she would attempt to alight. She sued for $2,500 damages, the jury awarding her the full amount.

Address: INTERNATIONAL LIBERTY UNION 370 OF THE WORLD Union Temple, Dayton, Ohio, U.S.A. LU MADE IN U.S.A. A Colored Nominee DR. JONES NOMINATED. Mr. Editor: Did you ever attend a genuine upto-date fair-play Lincoln Republican convention? Such was held by the Progressive Republicans Sept. 30th at First Baptist church in which Dr. W. A. Jones was nominated as candidate for representative of the Eighteenth General Assembly. The fair play shown was indeed refreshing. There were no colored delegates, which showed the inactivity of the colored brethren themselves. Mr. E. P. Costigan, chairman, announced that the colored people had recommended a man of their race that was favorable to the committee and if there were any present to present his cause he would ask the indulgence of the convention thereon. Mr. C. W. Buford stood up and five minutes was allowed him to introduce Dr. Jones to the convention. Buford being invited to take the platform amid great applause. The remarkable reception given Buford as he proceeded with his address made one think of times of yore when ye colored people were recognized as a part of the Republican party. A remarkable feature of the situation was Buford being colored and a Democrat. A Mr. Harris, a delegate, moved a point of order on the speaker that he was making a political speech instead of presenting his man, Dr. Jones, which was promptly ruled out of order by Chairman Costigan, with cheers of "Go on. Go on." Mr. Buford said: "Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen. I am placed in a unique position, this being a Republican convention and Dr. Jones being a Republican, while I am a Democrat. (Laughter and applause.) After all, there is not so much difference between us. You are trying to get back to Lincoln and we progressive Democrats are trying to get back to Jefferson, from whom Lincoln drew his greatest inspiration. Now, ladies and gentlemen, I am extended your courtesy as a colored man to speak for Dr. Jones as a colored man. Yet we are blamed by some for continually raising the color line. It is not our desire to ask representation as a colored people, for the reason that we are not the makers of this question, but are forced to defend ourselves against it. We desire to be Americans in the broadest sense. (Applause.) There is much said about the needs of representation for labor. Now, ladies and gentlemen, how much more so do we need representation politically and economically, for the reason that we are usually organized out of the unions and are forced to accept a lower wage scale, which oppresses us and hampers organized labor. We suffer greater political disabilities, besides we are under the ban of a caste prejudice as galling as that of eastern Europe. (Volces, 'true, true!') I bring to you a proposition that contains an ideal and a THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO material element. Dr. Jones is an ideal honest citizen whom we colored people esteem, and at the same time if you will put him on your ticket I am confident that he will bring two thousand votes to your ticket at the very lowest estimate. The Jefferson State League has indorsed him and we will vote for him and the entire ticket. The reason that we have no been blessed with better representation is that we have been trafficked in and sold out to the corporations by so-called colored leaders. (Applause.) I thank you." Mr. Causey got the floor and in a neat address stated he did not know Dr. Jones but he did know Buford and would vouch for his honesty and integrity. Then the Hon. Richard Wolf stated he had known Buford for 20 or more years, that he was absolutely reliable and would not lie, and if he said Jones was all right he was all right. Thereupon Gen. Theo. Thomas, in a spirited address on Republican principles and the loyalty of the race to the party, and what the party owed to the negro as a race, placed Dr. Jones in nomination, amid cheers and demonstrations of success. It is worth while to tell who Dr. Jones is, not that he needs any introduction to Denver, but the unusual honor which is accorded when a colored man is nominated for office makes the man so honored, it is not amiss to give the steps whereby he has reached so high a place. He was born in Alabama 36 years ago of slave parentage. After completing school in Talledega college on his native state, he went to Omana, where he made a beginning of medicine. In 1897 he came to Denver and entered the Denver Homeopathic college, of which he is graduate. He made his senior college year remarkable by being the only colored student and being the winner of the prize for the highest average studies. His career in this city in medicine is well known and attested by the excellence of his service to suffering humanity. In a public way he has been a worker. For years he was an officer o. Zion church and has taken a prominent part in the cho'r, the Young People's Society and all the ramifications of church work. He was a charter member and many times president of the People's Sunday Alliance, an office which he is now filling. In this organization he has done his most aggressive public work. He has always been in the forefront of the Alliance's efforts and it is probably to the reputation gained thereby that his nomination is due. Dr. Jones is president of the Colored American Loan and Realty company and vice president of the Lincoln-Douglass Sanatorium and Consumptive Hospital Association. The first is a business organization which is succeeding and the latter is a charitable effort which is interesting many high-minded, unselfish citizens. Besides these activities, which have been extended over a long time in various lines of more or less good to the whole people, Dr. Jones enjoys the honor of being Denver's first and only candidate for the school board, having been presented for the people's suffrage a few years ago. The straightforward manner in which he made the race won him the admiration of even his opponents. The present nomination for the legislature is not an accident, but the unfolding of the regard in which he is held. The possibilities of a young man of our race here receive an exemplification. Truthfulness, honesty and integrity are sure to win. S. H. TARBET T. S. Rector is serving chili piping hot in two ways at his store, 1916 Arapahoe street. Do you work for money?

Lawton and congregation of the Macedonia A. M. E. church, Flushing, N. Y., are making preparations for the celebration of the one hundredth anniversary of the founding of the church. The program is being arranged for series of special exercises to cover about ten days. Rev. Mr. Lawton has been pastor of the church for several years and has been eminently successful in his work. The services will begin early in October. Many old residents of that section of Long Island will take part in the celebration and will relate many thrilling experiences of life on the island fifty years ago. President Taft In Opposition. The opinion in most all sections of the country is that Wherever President Taft or the present national administration is an issue in the campaign this fall defeat is bound to follow. The rank and file of colored voters throughout the country saw the president's mistake in his reference to the race when he delivered his inaugural address, as has since been clearly demonstrated by his actions since that time. Republican Party on the Anxious Seat. The question uppermost in the minds of politicians the country ever is. What is going to happen to the Republican candidates this fall if they fail to poll the usual large Afro-American vote? The Democratic party is said to be a bidder for their suffrage and stand ready to do battle against any attempt at disfranchisement. On with the dance! --- Madam J. M.

The bride was tastefully adorned in white satin. The bridal veil was draped with lilies of the valley. The maid of honor, Miss Esther White of Kansas City, looked quite charming in a gown of orange colored chiffon. Little Miss Mildred Bauknight, the ring-bearer, bore the resemblance of a large wax doll. Mr. Jesse Edwards was the groom's best man and acted well his part. Music was furnished by Messrs. A. Metcalf, F. Hendricks and W. M. Taylor. The couple received many valuable presents in cut glass, silverware, Japanese and hand-painted china and much fine linen. Reception from 8:30 to 11:30.

She attended morning service last Sunday, and gave quite a material help to the choir and congregation in the rendition of songs of praise, as she possesses an unusual voice of clearness and sweetness. Mrs. Reece hopes to remain in the city for the month of October and has kindly consented to render a solo on each Sunday. It is hoped that the members and friends will give more of their presence, so as to foster and encourage the work. The Sunday School is progressing favorably, there being quite a good attendance last Sunday.

His heroism and daring deeds of valor were wrought for the nation's good. If Virginia has patriotism and audacity enough to offer the statue of Robert E. Lee for national honor and consideration, how great ought to be the pride of the whole nation in honoring the memory of John Brown? Loyalty of Pittsburg True Reformers.

We Grew Our Hair Now Let Us Grow Yours with TRADE MARK (Registered) NEGRO SOLDIERS' BRAVE FIGHT Forestry Department Commends Work of Twenty-fifth Infantry. STUCK TO THEIR POST OF DUTY Men of Company G Risked Their Lives to Save Women and Children From Devouring Flames of Forest Fires. Professor Du Bois Wants World to Know of Their Gallantry. Under the caption "An Echo of Brownsville," bearing date of Sept. 23, Professor W. E. B. Du Bois in an open letter to the New York Tribune said: "Late last week the United States forestry department sent the following letter to the officer in command of the Twenty-fifth United States infantry, which has been fighting fires in Idaho: I take great pleasure in reporting to you the most excellent and gallant service performed by Company G, Twenty-fifth infantry, from your post. Special mention is made of service and hearty cooperation with the forestry department by Second Lieutenant Evan E. Lewis. The work as a whole was most valuable, and, viewing the conditions that existed at Avery during the holocaust in retrospect, it is unanimously agreed that the work of Company G was indispensable. Beyond a doubt lives of our citizens and personal property would have been lost to vandalism were it not for the protective power of the soldiers. One instance of the fire that stands out most prominently was at the time the women and children were loaded on a special train at Avery in order to escape the impending disaster. Sergeant John James and Privates Chester Garraud, William Hogue, Roy Green and Grandwill W. Bright were stationed on the train to preserve order and protect the women and children to a place of safety. A gantlet of fire was run by this train, the heat being of such intensity that the car windows were expected to be broken at any time. These soldiers remained faithful at their post on the exterior of the cars and weathered the storm of fire. The story of the fire is replete with many instances of the troops' faithful and excellent service. The co-operation of Captain George J. Holdan has been most agreeable and satisfactory. Words are inadequate to express the most efficient service rendered by officers and men of Company G. Twenty-fifth infantry. Probably few persons who read this message connected it in any way with the late unpleasantness at Brownsville, Tex. There is nothing in the dispatch to indicate that this regiment is composed of Negro troops and that it is the same regiment against which Theodore Roosevelt brought the most serious charges and of which he dismissed a battalion from the service without giving the men a trial. Is not this coincidence characteristic of our treatment of the Negro? If some poor black outcast had stolen a chicken in South Carolina the fact would be heralded all over the United States, with mighty headlines announcing his race and color. But just so soon as we have a case of bravery there is not the slightest whisper that the heroes are black men. Then, too, if there is suspicion of guilt on the part of black men any black man that a mob or the president of the United States can get hold of is THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO punished, whether he is guilty and the guilt is specifically and readily fastened on the whole Negro race. But if these same men saved hundreds of women and children from destruction or worse men are conveniently dumb, and the nation gets no intimation either from Theodore Roosevelt or the Associated Press that the praise of these men is the praise of the whole race. It of course makes little real difference whether a brave man is black or white or whether a criminal is white or black, but if we are going to publish the color of criminals why should we forget to publish the color of heroes? The Race Should Heed This Advice. So many times, says the Savannah (Ga.) Tribune, we have urged our people to secure for themselves much of the vacant farm lands in this country and thus be fortified for the years to come when these same lands will be out of their reach. Great efforts are now being made to induce a frugal class of immigrants to locate in this country. This will cause the taking up of all these lands. Now is the time for our people to act. GARNET REPUBLICAN CLUB. Political Unrest Among Colored Republicans of Kings County. The recent reopening of the Henry Highland Garnet Republican club of Brooklyn for the fall was attended by an unusually large number of members and visitors. The Garnet club is said to be the central organization of the colored Republican voters of Kings county. John A. James, president of the club, says that the large attendance at the opening of the club is due to the fact that there are widespread political unrest and dissatisfaction on the part of the colored voters with their political status in the country. P. The present contest between the old guard and the progressives was discussed; also the political situation of the colored citizens of Brooklyn. It is said that the colored voters should have an understanding with the leaders, that colored men in federal employment are not properly treated and that they have the power to shape things and should find a remedy. In the discussion of the situation and how to meet the demands of party affiliation A. C. Cowan, Esq., delivered a very caustic address. He deplored the fact that it seemed providential that the colored voters should be so divided and blind to their best interest. He urged every one present to make an effort to get the men together for mutual understanding before they take a definite stand for the coming campaign. President James is leading the organization with splendid generalship and hopes to make the club's influence and numerical strength felt as a unit at the polls in November. The club will celebrate the anniversary of the birth of Henry Highland Garnet, for whom it is named, on Friday evening. Dec. 28.

Out of the discrimination against colored people has come the insurance business among us, conducted in some cases by white persons for our benefit, and in others by ourselves. Of this latter class is the Afro-American Life and Benefit Association. It is composed and originated by fifteen Coloradoans who are generally known. It has the features of the lodge organizations without their elaborate ritual, making its insurance feature the one on which it expects members. Like all organizations of this class it is mutual, that is all persons joining it are on a level with those already in. Its profits therefore revert back to the policy holders. On the basis of the rates charged and the benefits given its agents are scouring one city. From their present progress it is clear that it will have a wide membership and be a means of doing much good. Like all new organizations it is confronted with the keenest scrutiny, and the officers are asking the public to make the most diligent inquiry into its methods and substantial character, since they know that they have a safe plan of business tried in the fire of actual experience of other companies. Zion church, the mother of the Baptist denomination in the Rocky Mountain region, is setting herself for the big lift Sunday, October 9. On that date will occur the $3,000 rally that has been engrossing the church's attention for several weeks. This intended to be the last of the debt-lifting rallies. The entire debt incurred by the purchase of the four lots from the church to the corner of Twenty-tieth and Arapahoe streets has been cut down gradually until it now is only $3,000 and the hope is to raise it and have done with debt. The "white elephant" rally cut off $1,500 of the debt and this will finish it. The loyalty of the members is undergoing the test nicely. Hopes are high and the work done up to this time is practically only among the members. Now that the closing hours are here, the friends and well-wishers are preparing to do their part. Zion church is Denver's great downtown church—its one show spot for visitors who stop only a day. It is the Christian haven for some who never leave the heart of town. It is of interest to Denver that Zion prosper. This good will should be coined into dollars for tomorrow. We hope to record the entire success of this financial effort the church is making. THE COUNTY TICKET. A vote for the Republican county ticket is a vote wisely cast. It will be our pleasure to show in detail the merits of the candidates as the campaign progresses, but just at present it is sufficient to speak generally. From Sheriff Nisbet down the ticket is a good one. It is one that can run PAGE.8 ZION RALLIES. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO.

This sounds so much like the usual campaign generalities that we call attention to the condition of the business of this county when Julius Aichele and the Democratic county commissioners were making Denver synonymous with political rascality. It is not so many years ago when the honesty and uprightness of the great majority did not count. We were all pawns to be moved by the Democratic machine. The election o. Republicans brought some semblance of decency to our government. It is a small matter that all Republicans are not up to standard, but it is a big matter that the county as administered by the Democrats had no leaven of goodness. Since the election of Sheriff Nisoe honest elections have been the rule and no exception. Previous to his time, crooked elections were the rule and no exceptions. And so it goes. The leopard may have changed his spots, but Denver Democracy has not yet forgotten its old habits. CITY NEWS. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Harris have a new brick porch on their home on Elati street.
