LEADERS DESERVE CRITICISM FOR FAILURE Men Who Profit by Their Prominence Act the Baby in Trying to Shift Responsibility When Their Leadership Produces No Results Twenty-Second Year LEADERS DES CRITICISM Men Who Profit by Their Pr Trying to Shift Respon ship Produces No Resul WE WONDER IF HE IS SATISFIED. Our answer and Mr. Manuel's inquiry, both of which were published in The Statesman last week, did a whole lot of good. Some persons were fearful that the truth of the matter would show the republicans of Denver to be ungrateful for our support. Others more wisely suspicioned that somebody who was presumed to represent us, had bungled. While we did not go into all the details that the 1908 mismanagement deserved by way of condemnation, we said enough to show that we have contributed through our leaders to our own undoing. Having satisfied the general public—we judge we have from the praise bestowed upon the article—we hope we have satisfied Mr. Manuel. If he still is in an inquiring mood, we wish him to understand that The Statesman has space at his disposal just as it had before. It was not the intention of this paper to criticize the actions of any members of our race when this campaign began, and even now when some who are loudest is proclaiming the perfidy of the republican party are the very ones who bilked it of money and cheated it of honest support; we do not intend to depart from our custom and get personal. We believe that Mr. Manuel should have done better work for the race inasmuch as he was hand in glove with the regime of two years ago. Yet he may be entirely innocent of wrong intentions. He may have been deceived by others just as we all were deceived. Right here we wish to make a point. Leaders whether self-appointed or representative must make good. They need not do the baby act and report back to us that they have failed unless they are willing to bear the criticism that failure deserves. If their private needs will not permit them to be straightforward and aggressive, if they must seek political appointment and barter their influence for place, they should not blame the public when it refuses to be satisfied with the results. But when men call aloud to high heaven that they are working for rthe public good and then ravage the political possibilities of the race like a lot of beach-combers, it requires sublime nerve for them to try to throw the blame on the party they victimized or to work that shell --- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, OCT. 22. 1910 game on the people they once fooled. The republican party has given to the Negro race all that it has. It has kept inviolate all the rights it bestowed. It has made possible our enfranchisement and our commercial strength. However far short it has fallen of what it might have done, the record of its deeds prove it our friend rather than others whose only part in our citizenship has been opposition. When our party does not do what it reasonably should, by all means criticize it. But criticism to appear honest, should be made when the wrong is done, and not sprung on a succeeding campaign, without notice. That kind of thing is unfair to the race. It looks suspicious. It is an absolute confirmation of the unworthiness of the men who act that way. As we have said at other times, the remedy lies not in personal accusations against the men who are guilty, but in intelligent effort on the part of us all. We have a duty to perform and so long as we delegate it to others by our laziness, we may expect any kind of results. When we rise up and do our duty as citizens, we cannot be sold, out nor misrepresented. REPUBLICAN HEADQUARTERS Speeches and Refreshments Monday Night. Last night there was opened up at 2012 Curtis street headquarters for the republican campaign in Denver county. The room secured is spacious and it is being fitted up with desks, chairs, phone, lights and all that will make for the comfort of the workers and voters that go there. Literature will be dispensed from this place and campaign thunder will be plentiful to be delivered to all who wish it. Monday night October 24 will be held the opening republican rally at these headquarters. At this time the working committee will be appointed and the workers selected. It is expected that from this time on the campaign will rapidly take shape. Conferences are planned and in every way the cause of the republican party and the colored citizen will be advanced. Refreshments will be served Monday night and all Denver is asked to be present and share the wisdom and good things. ORCHESTRA PLAYS. The Young Men's Athletic club which has arranged a Hallowe'en frolic at East Turner Hall Oct. 31, have engaged the services of the Great Western Orchestra to furnish the music. They mean to make the occasion memorable for fun and good music. DON'T LIKE PEARCE A few days ago a committee composed of Mrs. C. W. Buford, Rev. J. A. Thomas-Hazell, Mrs. Purcell, Mrs. Florence Cooper called on Secretary of State Pearce, who received considerable notoriety because of his attitude toward Mrs. Ida DePriest at the time he took office two years ago, and questioned him about the matter. The report of this committee is that his attitude is still unsatisfactory and that he has made no explanation of his reason for saying Negroes were unfit to associate with white persons in such a capacity as Mrs. DePriest was employed. However he did attempt to shift the blame on a former employee of the office and on that point the Statesman will expend some space next week giving the facts in the case. A RICHMOND BANKER. Denver entertained a notable for a few hours Tuesday in the person of John Mitchell of Richmond, who is editor of the Richmond Planet and president of one of the banks there. He is a prominent Knight of Pythias and while here was entertained by Grand Chancellor Westbrook. He left the same evening. George Burrell did the honors also. NEW CORPORATION E. V. Cammeil and W. H. Bess of Colorado Springs were in the city Wednesday, having come here to incorporate the Progressive Investment Company, an organization of Colorado Springs who are going to buy land and build a building suitable for the race businesses of that city. They will break ground within thirty days. THE NEV/ CAFE. The cafe of Frazier & Lewis at 1841 Arapahoe street is going to present an appearance unequalled in the history of Denver restaurants. The decorators and carpenters have sot finished and will not this week, but the appearance so far shows what the completed article will be. Next week it will throw its doors open to the public aid seekers after good service will be satisfied. --- FIVE CENTS A COPY MERIT WINS. Praise comes to men of the Negro race at times, showing that merit will win regardless of all obstacles. A signal case of this is the following from the "Interior" a Church organ published in Chicago, the greatest of that denomination in America: The Denver Brotherhood Union at its first banquet for the year assumed the care of the People's Presbyterian church, our organization of Afro-Americans. For some time a heavy burden of debt has hampered its every effort, and its own heroic struggle has enlisted the fullest sympathies of the men and churches of Denver. The utmost confidence is felt in the pastor, Rev. Thomas Hazell, a cultured, conservative and eloquent minister of unusual gifts. HARVEST FESTIVAL The week at Campbell church has been full. As was explained in the published program, a variety of special events have been occurring the different nights. Throughout there has been all of the features of a harvest festival and a church fair. However this fair has endeavored not alone to furnish articles of general consumption but to provide also a place of exhibit for the needle craft, the culinary art, and handicraft of all kinds in which the colored people of Denver are engaged. The week opened with a harvest sermon on Sunday preached by the pastor, Rev. Williams. In preparation for it the pulpit was loaded down with nearly a ton of all kinds of vegetables. The church was tastefully decorated and offered a very busy appearance with its booths and salesladies. HOMESTEADERS ON THE INCREASE. Through information secured from O. T. Jackson we are enabled to give the following list of colored people who have taken up land in Weld county under homestead act during the present year. In fact the majority of them have made a start within the last few months. They are O. T. Jackson, James Smith, Wm. McPherson, C. H. Hicks, Mrs. Carrie Jackson, Joe Young, Henry Vick, William Moore, J. M. Thomas, Wm. Slaughter, Robert Chaney, C. W. Brown, Grant Howell, Chas. Carter, J. N. B. Anderson, Dr. J. H. P. Westbrook, and Jas. M. Williams. Such a wonderful interest in land portends much for the race. Such a beginning in one year if maintained will mean that in a few years the colored land owners and farmers of Colorado will ship an appreciable amount of food stuffs to market and will participate in a large measure in the good roads, tariff, bridges, railroad rates, and other public questions because they will be directly affected.

Great Organizer and Financier. By N. BARNETT DODSON. The recent successful northern tour of the Rey. D. J. Jenkins in behalf of the orphanage which bears his name at Charleston, S. C.. has awak- ened renewed interest in that instiru- on, ave trip covered a period of a little more than three months and ex- tended from Pennsylvania throughout the northern and New England states. In his sermons, lectures and ad- dresses Rey. Mr. Jenkins related Many hitherto unpublished facts in connection with the upward (Eee nh bag ON iS | Ie ‘ Ro - kee ° 2 Pee a A : a A i r 5 mas e ia : is Jenkins orphanage, which he has con- ducted with such rare courage and matchless zeal for twenty odd years. Prominent business men and church men in the various sections where he told the story of the rise and prog- ress of the ogphanage who a decade ago paid listle heed to his appeals for aid heard him gladly and contributed of their means willingly. Ile made friends for the work and inspired the hearts of the people with confidence. Great Organizer and Financier. Rev. Mr. Jenkins went to Charles ton in 1884. Before he took charge of the work for colored orphan children in Charleston it was conducted un der state control in the old Elliott mansion ou Georgia street, which site is now occupied by the Charleston Light and Water company. It seemed difficult for those who were in charge of the work at the time referred to above to make it a success, and after a brief existence it folded up its tents like the Arabs and departed. But under the present man- agement it has grown and flourished. Early Struggles of the Institution. Of the many worthy institutions of its kind in the south, few have had to face the difficulties and hardships such as ciume upon the Jenkins orphanage in the early days of its existence. But no wave of trial or opposition has come su Tar with sutil- cient force to cause the aban- donmeut of the institution. Ab encouraging feature about the recent tour of the president is that our people contribut- ed liberally for the support of the work. The Rev. Mr. Jenkins was made welcome by the pastors of the various churches, who seemed de f SS aS” Wit ” a ty y ¢ ime! 7?» bye 2 ‘Ww, M, OUARES, 2 4 4 7 FV. D. J. JENKINS. ) uguted to open the way for kim to present the needs of the orphanage to their congregations. The “orphanage man,” as he is fa- miliarly called, is not only a successful organizer and financier, but a minister and leader of his people. His influence and work have been the cause of the salvation of many souls and the in- spiration of hundreds of young men and women who have come in contact with his magnetic power. Rey, D. J. Jenkins bas been the suec- cessful pastor of the Fourth Baptist church, now known as the New Taber- nacle Fourth Baptist church, for twen- ty years. At the thirty-fifth anniver- sary of the church recently held there were prominent clergymen from as far north as New York. The hearty co-operation of the pas- tors of the various churches of the tity regardless of denominational af- filiation, gave evidence of Pastor Jen- kins’ worth as a minister, citizen and popular leader, The celebration at- Be AS rea lies St ye tracted. more than state wide attention. The strength of his congrega- tion coupled with his own native ability has enabled him to get re- leased from the ehain gang scores of youths who might oth- erwise been doomed to con- tinned — associa- tion with hard- ened criminals.

Mr. Jen- kins’ supervision was built at a cost of $5,000, Tis seating capacity is 1,000, and it is considered to be one of the finest frame church buildings among our people in Charleston. The interior decorations are superb.

LOS ANGELES TO HAVE A NEGRO THEATER. The people of Los Angeles are all up in the air over the prospects of having a colored theater. Two of the prominent business men of that city will open Thanksgiving day with the best talent in their city, and much success is hoped and wished by all of the negroes of that city. STEWART & MARSHALL. Those two clever comedians that played in Denver some time ago are on their way to New Orleans where they have a two weeks' stand. They send best wishes to all in Denver and said get a Negro Theatre. JACK JOHNSON FINDS A NEW SPARRING PARTNER. Jack Johnson, the champion who is playing vaudeville with great success, secured Tom Overby of Wilkesbarre, Pa., last week as a sparring partner. Overby is a husky big negro weighing 240 pounds and Johnson thinks with proper training he can make a first class fighter of his new find. Jack is just as determined to keep the belt with the negroes as the whites are to try and take it away from us as a race and I hope that Jack makes good his intentions. BIG BUCK AND WING CONTEST. Next Monday night at the R. M. A. club George Elkins, champion buck dancer of this state will try and defend his title against the Philadelphia Kid. Botn boys are in fine condition and should make a great showing. All gentlemen are invited to attend Monday night Oct. 24th at 8:30 p. m. at the Rocky Mountain Athletic club. KING & BAILEY IN LONDON. Better known as the Young Williams and Walker. King & Bailey with their company of Chocolate Drops are creating a big success in London. They leave London for Paris the first of December. GEORGE WALKER IS FAST IMPROVING. If reports are true we will once again in life be able to see the one time famous comedian George Walker who has been confined in the Kansas insane asylum for the last four or five months, walking, talking and playing as he did inthe years gone by. The attending physician of that institute declares that Walker is fast becoming sane and that if he continues to improve they will be able to have him right inside of two months. This is a very good tiding and it is looked upon as some of God's work. KID BELL AND YOUNG GANS. Two fast boys formerly of this city, fighting in the lightweight class are Kid Bell and Young Gans. Both boys are in Ogden, Utah, and are getting as many as four fights a month. Gans is matched to fight the Frisco Kid, the first of November, and expects to win with a knockout. He also sends regards to oall of his friends in Denver and wishes to be remembered at the R. M. A. club. Kid Bell after the 15th of November will take a trip to Philadelphia where he expects to get some good fights the short way. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. THE BOXING FIGHTER ROY BROWN Challenges all comers in the state at 140 pounds MRS. JESSIE NICKENS RESSE TO LEAVE DENVER. We are sorry to say that one of Denver's clever artists, Mrs. Jessie Nickens Resse will not stay in the city long enough to give the people something in the line of amusement as her husband Mr. Arthur Resse, formerly with the great Williams & Walker Co., has written her to come at once to finish their engagement on the S. R. O. time. They have played all of the big circuits down east with great success and hope to be booked abroad in the near future. Their act is incomparable, and there is no reason why they shouldn't continue to be a grand success. TEXAS KID WANTS TO FIGHT NAT DEWEY OR JACK MORRIS. One of the new middleweights from Texas who just arrived in town is out with blood in his eyes and would like to hear from Nat Dewey of Cheyenne or Jack Morris of New York. The Kid has been constantly in training at Jackey Maynard's club and the R. M. A. club and is in the best of condition. He also has a side bet of $250 as a forfeit. BOBIE KEMP. Coming to the Orpheum Bobie Kemp, one of the leading negro comedians of the world, will be at the Orpheum the later part of December. He is doing a Zulu stunt that is sup- posed to be incomparable. Kemp is the only man that ever made a white manager come up to his terms when they would come to the salary assignment. MRS. BERTHA GRANT. Is coming back to Denver to live. Bertha Grant, of the Grant & Jones company who played the Pantages during the summer, will be back in this city the first of Nov. as she has quit the company. WANTED—A BIG CLASS AT THE R. M. A. CLUB FOR THE GYM. It is hoped that the young men of this city will take advantage of this opportunity and if you wish to enter the class you will please come to the office of the club and sign the list. You will all receive the best of attention. Prof. Laury Jackson will be the physical director. LANGFORD AND KAUFMAN TO FIGHT TEN ROUNDS.

Race Should Stick to the Republican Party. He Says. On account of the unsettled political conditions all over the United States and the manifest independence of voters of all shades of political faith the following letter from ex-United States Senator William E. Chandler to John E. Bruce of Yonkers, N. Y., makes interesting reading. The Hon. Mr. Chandler says: The Republican party can never abandon its efforts to enforce the fifteenth amendment. That was an outcome of the war for the Union and one of the terms of the settlement made by the north with the south. To allow it to become permanently a dead letter would be cowardly and disgraceful. A deliberate determination to surrender it would be the destruction of the Republican party. There is an eclipse of faith just now in the minds of some Republicans. Our business men are indifferent to the sentiment of devotion to human rights—at least where the persons concerned are black. But there will come, I am sure, a revival of fidelity and courage. The continued adherence of the colored men to the Republican party, which gave them liberty and suffrage, will necessitate the renewed championship by that party of the political equality of the proscribed race. The present unnatural and dangerous condition of affairs in the south, where the black man is deprived of his constitutional rights, is a constant menace against the peace and prosperity of the white people. Justice and obedience to the constitution can alone avert the danger. I think the colored as well as the white Republican at the south should keep up his courage and look for the coming of the morning. Faithfully your friend, W. E. CHANDLER.

To the Editor of The Statesman: Dear Sir: From the editorials of all the negro newspapers published in Colorado last issue it seems that the editors and contributors are all at sea on the political situation, and are casting about to find some issue to base their campaign argument upon to bring forth tne barrel or to find out just who has been permitted to know where the barrel can be reach- ed. One able editor makes the broad statement that the negro has no issue in this campaign and were I to dis- cuss politics in my paper from the hegro’s standpoint | would not know where to begin. If that is the situa- tion of all the negro journals in the state now would be a good time for a republican of The Beast in the Ne- gro’s Jungle, as in those articles there are plenty of issues to be discussed pertaining to the negro’s interest in this campaign. From the way that some of the editors are astride the fence it can be easily seen that they are onl ywaiting to see on which side the procession will pass that is head- ed with the barrel, and on that side the issue will begin red hot rattlety bang hoom for the negroes issue and interest in this most historical cam- paigh of Colorado, where negroes con- trol 10,000 votes and have no issue. Can you not se2 the beast at the en- trance of the Jungle snapping his teeth, prancing up and down, just waiting for his prey (the one who is next.) You had just as well retire boys if it is the barrel you are wait- ing for as there will be no issue from yc ry point of view. Senator Gugie has flown with his barrel and Senator Hughes is awfully sick in Honolulu and this campaign will be fought out on the records of the candidates and not from the barrel. This will be Strictly a campaign of education. drawn from facts and figures of pres- ent and past administrations. If you have no facts or figures to present concerning the negro’s interest in pol- itics of course there is no negro issue in this campaign, The barrel has flown.

DELICATESSEN 2300-2306 LARIMER ST Afro-American Women Unite For Active Campaign Against Injustice. An anti-lynching society composed of Afro-American women has been organized in Boston. The purpose of the new association is to call the attention of the legal authorities to the too frequent lynching of innocent citizens. It will also make investigations as to the cause of such crimes with a view of apprehending and having the guilty punished according to law instead of mob rule. The promoters of the movement met at the residence of Mrs. L. C. Parrish in Camden street, Boston, recently and perfected a permanent organization, electing the following officers: President, Mrs. M. Cravath Simpson; vice president, A. H. Jewell: recording secretary, Mrs. V. C. Clark; treasurer, Mrs. L. C. Parrish, and chaplain, Mrs. M. C. Hall. Among others who took part in the organization are Mrs. Carrie O. Reed, Mrs. A. Bisbee, Mrs. A. Russell, Mrs. E. F. Sport, Mrs. B Anderson and Miss E. Jewell. The harmony of thought, the true principle for vindication of their womanhood and the race, exhibited in the efforts for the public meeting and its success, with the triumph gained over the press, cemented a tie between them which has caused them to press forward with greater energy to remedy, if not lessen, the continued evils perpetrated against the race. Already they have plans formulated for a big anti-lynching meeting in the near future and are assured support by some of the best leading white women and men of the country.

Bondurant passed away Monday to the sorrow of many friends. The funeral occurred yesterday at 2:30 from the home of Dr. and Mrs. Spratlin. Father Brown of the Church of the Redeemer of which she was a member conducted the funeral services. Besides her bereaved husband there was present of the immediate relatives, her sister Mrs. Lizzie Shoocraft of Ann Arbor, Michigan, in addition to the friends who filled the house. The funeral services were very impressive, and when the flower laden casket was finally deposited in Fairmount, it was amid tears. The long illness of Mrs. Bondurant, her health failing steadily up to her demise, has not served to blot out the brilliant part which she played in the social and musical clubs, and one [Picture of a woman with dark hair and a white collar. She is looking directly at the camera.] whose entry to all that was best both here and in the east, extended over her whole life. A daughter, Mrs. Bushnell, of Salt Lake, was unable to be present at the funeral on account of illness. Together with Madam Hackley she took part in the great chorus which presented masterpieces in Trinity church a decade ago, and the memory still lingers how these two, the only colored participants, led with their powerful voices the hundreds of singers. Only a few years later, God saw fit to dim her vision of earthly things. Now that she is gone, her usefulness and excellence deserves a tribute.

Emancipation Day Exercises Were Crowded With Many Brilliant Scenes, Which Showed the Progress of the Race Along Many Lines—Dr. W. B. Johnson's Stirring Address. At the recent emancipation celebration in Pittsburg, which was witnessed by more than 7,000 people, Dr. W. Bishop Johnson, the celebrated Baptist divine from Washington, was the principal speaker. The occasion was one of the most notable ever conducted by the colored people of Pittsburg, and the mammoth parade of floats, representing every trade and craft, with citizens in automobiles and carriages, was a picturesque sight. Mayor Magee and other prominent citizens of Pittsburg made addresses, and the whole affair was under the direction of a committee of well known colored citizens, headed by Rev. Dr. R. C. Fox, pastor of Carron Street Baptist church. Dr. Johnson's address was a comprehensive review of the slave question, particularly in its bearing upon the civil war, and a strong and forceful exposition of the duties and results of emancipation upon the life of the Negro race and the American nation. Dr. Johnson laid down the great principle that moral right is omnipotent and no man or government of men can resist it. Just what emancipation meant to the Negro, coming as he did fresh from the horrors of slavery, was described in a vivid and convincing manner by the speaker, who was likewise emphatic in enunciating certain obligations and duties his new found freedom imposed upon him. Dr. Johnson's speech was, in part, as follows: Viewed as to its results, the emancipation proclamation was an overshadowing and glorious success. It united the friends of the Union. It threw into despairing forces new life. It brought into the armies of the Union as by magic 180,000 soldiers from the enfranchised race. It was the deathblow to slavery. It was the finishing stroke of the rebellion. The immortal Lincoln was in no sense a smatterer. He was a profound reasoner, learned in the law. He studied and understood the constitution of his country. He did not issue a proclamation for sport or to be hooted at. He did not toy with the mighty concerns of the republic. His every act was governed by the sincerest convictions, guided by conscience. He was eminently a statesman, and patriotism and heroism were his crowning virtues. The emancipation of the slaves was the most important and farreaching as well as the most equitable and humane fact recorded in American history. Nothing has occurred in the long and eventful history of the republic like the breaking of slavery shackles from the souls and bodies of the American bondsmen. It affected the American people legally, morally, sociologically and spiritually as no other thing had done or has done since. It was the culmination of a long series of struggles between national self respect, national purity of conscience and national greed and selfishness. Forty-seven years have elapsed. The American Negro, while hampered by prejudice, poverty and proscription, has had time enough to show himself a blessing or a curse. Have the conditions of freedom exhausted him? Has he assimilated as a man and citizen? Does he antagonize the just ideals and traditions of the American people? He is interwoven into the being of the nation, in its lifeblood, its homes, its schools, its industries and enterprises, its victories and defeats. Its legislatures cannot enact a law, its courts render a decision, its political parties gain a victory, without considering him. He is a permanent element of American life, not dangerous to her well being, because he is a Christian and progressive; not vicious, because he is industrious and rapidly becoming intelligent; not a pauper, because he is a taxpayer on over $900,000,000 in property. One of the most essential elements of racial strength the Negro must have now is an exalted race pride. The Negro who is ashamed of his race ought to be driven out and marked as a traitor. It should be the highest ambition of every black man to invest the race with honor, dignity and power. We have nothing of which to be ashamed. Forty-seven years of freedom read like a romance. The Negro has no primrose path for the future. He must rise on his merits every time. He must make himself an indispensable factor in American life and contribute the best citizenship and sterling worth into the community in which he lives. He must simply compel the community to recognize his honesty and industry not by a servile, hat in hand policy, which is more hypocritical than real and which costs him self respect and the respect of all his neighbors, but a manly, straight-forward course that shows him to be reliable, honest, industrious, virtuous and law abiding. We must organize in business, religion, society, against lawlessness and crime, for the protection of home, church, political right and every other thing that is sacred to the man and the citizen. St. Barnabas Men's Guild Respens. The first meeting for the fall of the men's guild of St. Barnabas' Protestant Episcopal church, Brooklyn, was held on Tuesday evening, Oct. 4. President J. A. Thompson presided, and after the formal welcome to the members and visitors the literary program was rendered. The speaker of the evening was Owen M. Waller, M. D., whose subject was "The New Forward Movement." Others who took part in the program were Alfred White, Miss Lillian Jeter, Miss Mary E. McClane, Charles Waters, Amos Guerrant and Mme. Marguerite Randall. Complaint is rife among the colored voters in Oregon-Portland in particular-says the Advocate, that the boss politicians as well as their understudies are giving them slim consideration. Vote insurgent whenever there is an opportunity. And, if not, vote with the Socialist party or any other old party save the regular Republicans. They, along with Mr. Taft, are making a strong bid for the southern Democratic vote. For proof of the assertion note the number that are being appointed to the offices which were formerly held by colored men. President William A. Creditt and faculty of the Downingtown (Pa.) Industrial school are greatly encouraged over the outlook for a large enrollment of students this fall. Work has been going on at the institution during the vacation season on the buildings, which will enable the school to accommodate a large number of students. MRS. A. M. POPE-TURNBO. MRS. L. L.

The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that "theirs is the same" or "just as good") or referred to "PORO."

His rating in Dun's and Bradstreet’s is most creditable, and his sticcess as a financier is attested by his comfortable circumstances and the possession of a goodly portion of “worldly goods.” While bis companions were in poli- ties he was fn business, and now when his business is in such excellent shape be turns aside to political diversion more as a call of duty than one of necessity. Mr. Napier is no stranger to Wash- ingtonians. There be studied law in Howard: University Law school, and there he led one of the accomplished daughters of Hon. John M. Langston to the altar to become his wife. His political record is clean and above reprosch. He has been a favor- ite with both factions of the Repub- lican party in his state for years.

There is a rise and a wane in the lives of all men. As will be seen by the news columns of this paper Register of the Treasury W. T. Vernon has a successor. This news will surprise many of us here in the west who have loked upon the eloquent Kansan as our personal representative because he is the administration's "furtheres t West." In last week's paper we recorded the election of a successor to Prof. Vernon as the head of Western University. Now we record his loss of the public position. So much loss of place and power, coming at once makes us think that no man rises so high but that the fall may be just around the turn of the road. We sympathize with Prof. Vernon, but perhaps he needs no sympathy. For if he has the elements of greatness in him, the crisis in his affairs will bring out all his latent power so that he will mount again the faster for his loss. In the meanwhile we take the liberty of informing the President that the Negroes west of the Missouri vote the same as those east of it, and unlike those south of the Ohio, their votes are counted. If office is properly given to the supporters of the winning party, the negroes between here and the Pacific coast have some rights that the President would do well to consider. INCOMPETENCE A BAR Democracy has lost wonderfully because of being in power whenever the people of the United States have chosen it to govern, and that seems to be true here in Colorado. Governor Sharroth and his administration have more or less individual merit, but the brawling between officers which has characterized the two years they have governed Colorado, has cost the people the respect they have for their officials and a snug sum of money. That is the vital difference between republicans and democrats. Democracy is a demand for individualism, for state rights, for socialism to a degree. When elevated to power it does not cohere. Its individualism is more noticeable than its unty. We might grant every claim of its adherents of the excellence of its principles and still we would consider the republican party its superior because it can put into force what it attempts. A Democratic majority in the legislature and a democratic governor have failed to pass any legislation except by a sympathy appeal to republicans. It is a shameless confession of incompetency. However one may disagree at times with republican officials, they are able to act sufficiently in unison to accomplish something. It is this vital difference between Mr. Stephens, the republican nominee for governor and the ticket he heads, and the democratic state ticket which causes us to believe the former will win. The people of Colorado want to progress. They are not satisfied with simply --- PAGE. 8. talking about it. They know the republican legislatures of the past have given the local option law and other measures as difficult to pass as was any of the legislation attempted in this extra session. They know that under a republican legislature the conservation of the state's natural resources will be sought along the shortest route. They know that the control of the school lands, the payment of the state's debts and the actual running of the state's business will be gone about intelligently. The election of the United States senator will represent the will of the people through their expressions made prior to conventions. Senator Guggenheim whose term ends then has made public in a letter his willingness to abide by the decision of the people. Here again the reputation of the republican party is the best guarantee that this is not an empty promise but one which will be kept. All the anti-Guggenheim agitation is time wasted in in the face of the manly manner in which the Senator has expressed a willingness to stand on his record. The agitation against the republican party because of the Taft administration is equally without foundation. Taft has been successful far beyond any president for decades, in getting legislation enacted that will be beneficial. We colored people do not like his attitude toward us, but his administration can otherwise stand on its merit. The state ticket carries with it the congressmen who are to go on with the good work Taft has begun and should be elected by all means. The county ticket this year carries more than the mere placing of candidates of our own party in county offices. Through the legislation of the extra session, the Democrats are trying to change the registration laws so that the Big Mit methods of ten years will be installed again in all their force. Republican officials will mean that illegal voting will be dangerous even though these laws are passed. Consider what Sheriff Nisbet and District Attorney Elliott have meant to the people of Denver and it is clear what depends upon republican success. Colored people are already a minor factor in elections, and should this Big Mit legislation be supplimented with Big Mit officials, they will be entirely negligible, unless they are used as the tools of election rascality as was done here five years ago. Elect the republican county ticket and clinch your hold on your citizen rights. IMPORTANT COMMISSION. Governor Hadley's Interest In Health Conditions Among Afro-Americans. New interest has been awakened as to health conditions among our people by the recent appointment of a tuberculosis commission by Governor Hadley of Missouri. The object of the commission is to TERMS. YOUR PLEASURE OUR WORRY 11th ANNUAL No. 5, K. of P.

FRIDAY East Tur The Best Orchestra in th Admission 50c. find out just what the conditions are among Afro-Americans with respect to the sanitary environments which surround them. The movement is a wise one in view of the crowded conditions under which our people are forced to live in the various large cities. High rents, high cost of living, insanitary quarters and small pay for their labor have greatly militated against our progress. The commissioners have organized and are now planning their work. They will report to the governor from time to time conditions as they find them in the different sections of the country and in the large cities. The commissioners are Dr. T. J. Caston, Jefferson City; Dr. J. E. Perry, Kansas City; Dr. W. S. Carrion. St. Joseph; C. P. Covington, Louisiana; Mrs. Nevada Kenner, Marshall, and Dr. George S. Jackson, St. Louis. OPPORTUNITIES FOR MEN IN GOVERNMENT SERVICE. Railway Mail, Army and Navy Departments Suggested. We again call attention to the opportunities open to capable young Afro-Americans to enter the government service. The scale of wages paid for ordinary labor in the various business concerns and private families is very low. Experience has shown that not much headway can be made along these lines other than a "skin of the teeth" existence. Even those of our men who are employed as janitors, butlers and coachmen are discriminated against as regards salary and accommodations. Where such conditions prevail there Children under 12, 25c. is no way out except to yield to the pressure of foreigners who are willing to start at what we are paid, but who as soon as they learn the art of the work demand more pay. They generally get their demands granted because of the fact that they are a unit in so far as a stipulated amount for their services goes and again because the employer does not care to be constantly changing help. Besides the postal service and civil service positions under municipal government, the railway mail service and the army and navy departments of the general government are lucrative fields. The pay is the same for the same kind of work as that which is allowed other men. Of course in order to secure these places preparation must be made. Many of the public schools in the large cities are open evenings and have classes in almost any subject one wishes to choose. The thing to do is to enter and prepare for the position you desire to fill. Oyster Packing as a Business. In the thriving town of Cambridge, Md., are many thrifty Afro-Americans who are engaged in business for themselves. Conspicuous among the number is P. H. Slocum, who does a large oyster packing business. Mr. Slocum operates six boats and employs more than a score of men. High Tribute to Dr. B. T. Washington. When the king and queen of Denmark recently entertained at dinner as their special guest Dr. Booker T. Washington they paid a high tribute not only to Dr. Washington and the Negro race, but to the highest type of American manhood. AN E:.JOYABLE PARTY. ‘shirty-five guests responded to an invitation to be present at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Basil Hill Thursday night of last week to attend a fare- well party tendered Mr. Louis Pa- quet of Vermont who has been the guest of Miss Lena Rolling for several weeks. This was the first party that Mr. and Mrs. Hill have given in their new home, and they expended the wealth of knowledge they have of the art of entertaining. The supper was of Mr. Hill's creation and was a feast fit for the gods. It was served in eight courses with a super-excellent manner. Part of the pleasure of the guests came from the pretty surround- ings. The home is a handsome one and was set off in seasonable decora- tions. The porch was lighted by Jap- anese lanterns and carpet led from the entrance to the street. It is not often that the detail of dinner parties are as perfect as this one, and the guests fortunate to be there will look forward to the social functions of Mr. and Mrs, Hill, DENVER PERSONALS.
