AN ACQUITAL GIVEN SMITH AN ACQUIT GIVI After a week of attempting to establish the guilt of George U. Smith for the killing of his wife, Louisa B. Smith, on the night of August 25, the district attorney on Tuesday afternoon moved to quash the case and Judge Shattuck, presiding over the criminal division of the district court, made Mr. Smith a free man. With tears in his eyes the judge addressed him, regretting that the exigencies of the law had deprived him of his freedom, had caused him to sacrifice his means in defense of his liberty and life and had caused him mental anguish such as only an innocent man can feel when accused of crime. He expressed outright his own belief in the innocence of fthe defendant and said that no person in the community after such an investigation as was given the death of Mrs. Smith could point the finger of scorn or suspicion at the husband. Like lightning came this ending to a case which has engrossed the community accutely since the trial began on Tuesday of last week, and more or less since the death of Mrs. Smith in August. Mr. Smith's attorneys who were W. B. Townsend and H. B. Benson in the progress of the trial had attacked the whole case on the ground that sufficient evidence was not adduced to show death came as the result of a criminal agency, much less that the defendant was guilty of the crime. Inasmuch as only the prosecution had presented its case, the judge refused to intervene. But when the defense presented its case also and Mr. Smith took the stand in his own defense, his statement of the events of the night of the shooting was so clear and convincing that the prosecuting attorney gave up hope of conviction and asked the court to set the accused free. The story told by Mr. Smith was just as related in the daily papers of Aug. 26. He had spent all day in the service of the Pullman company at the Union depot. About 10:15 p. m. he left the 4th Avenue car at York street on his way home, meeting by accident a neighbor going the same way. The screen being hooked at his home, he waked his wife and she admitted him. A few ordinary words were spoken between them and he continued on to the kitchen where he became busy preparing his grip ```markdown ``` DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, DEC.3 1910 for going out the next day. He heard a shot. Calling to his wife and receiving no answer, he went to the bedroom and found her wounded in the left side. A pistol which had been kept in the house for a long time, and which he had purchased for her protection was the weapon used. He called in neighbors and they called the police and police surgeon. Before she was taken from the house she was questioned by the officers and by Mr. Smith as to who shot her and responded "The Lord Knows." The details of the evening's events as related by witnesses for defense and for prosecution all bore out the correctness of his statements. The twenty or thirty minutes which he spent in the house from the time of porting with the neighbor to the calling of help are all that were not witnessed to. A charge of intentional murder would have necessitated sufficient quarrel to have arisen in that length of time to bring on such a tragedy and her being found in bed militated against that assumption, as did also the remarks which she made. An attempt was made to show that man and wife had quarreled, but it was brought out that the difference Continued on Page 13 GRAND JUNCTION, COLO. The "Old Folk's" concert given at the A. M. E. church Thanksgiving evening proved a success. The "Denver Belle" deserves special mention, from pantallettes to poke bonnet! Her grotesque appearance provoked much laughter. Her rendition of that beautiful ballad, "Carve That 'Possum to the Fat' was superb! Mrs. Pierson deserves much praise. A violin solo by Deacon Hines was another very amusing feature. Mrs. Hayes in hoop-skirt, as an ex-slave received loud applause, while "Ring Those Heavenly Bells" was being sung by the chorus, a cow bell pealed forth in silvery tones, unfortunately the bell fell from its tower nearly striking Preacher Russel on the head. Mrs. T. Woodard represented an ex-slave who has come north, acquired "fine clothes" and gone back to tell Mammy Hines the wonders of the north. Mrs. Woodard also sang in a very cracked voice "You'll Soon Be 62." From start to finish the concert was one long laugh. Everyone from the Preacher to the belles, old maids, mammys and deacons did their best to make the evening one long to be remembered. Mr. and Mrs. John Hines of Fruitvale entertained at Thanksgiving dinner. The guests were Mr. and Mrs. E. Hines, Mr. and Mrs. F. Miller, Misses Oreta Hines, Lola Mason, Edna Price and Mr. Marcus Hines.

HIGH POST FOR NOTED LAWYER President to Confer Signal Honor Upon William H. Lewis. MAN OF RARE LEGAL ABILITY. Named For Position of Assistant United States Attorney General by Taft-Has Served With Distinction In Other Places of Great Responsibility In the Federal Government. By R. W. THOMPSON. William Henry Lewis, a leading attorney of Boston, is to be named by President Taft as assistant attorney general of the United States. He will thus confer upon Mr. Lewis the highest official position ever conferred upon a colored man by the federal government. The assistant attorney general assists in the argument of cases before the supreme court and in the preparation of legal opinions. Many of the most important and intricate assignments fall to the hands of the assistants, and in the course of their work they are frequently brought into contact with senators, members of congress and barristers of prominence who have business with the department of justice. It will thus be seen that the proposed appointment is one of the utmost responsibility and far out of the ordi- JOHN H. HON. WILLIAM H. LEWIS. nary run of positions usually accorded to our race. It is expected that the name of Mr. Lewis will be sent to the senate shortly after the opening of the congressional session in December. The president is being warmly congratulated upon all sides by the colored press and public for his generosity in giving the race such honorable recognition, and there is no doubt that his hold upon the respect and confidence of the rank and file of the col- THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO ored people of the country has been greatly strengthened. The competency of Mr. Lewis is conceded by the most eminent lights at the American bar. Polished in manner, eloquent of voice and chaste in language, he has few peers as a pleader, and in the preparation of cases his is a master hand. He possesses character and force of the most positive order, with magnetic poise and dignity, yet is modest and unassuming in his daily intercourse. Mr. Lewis combines the elements that make for efficiency of the lasting kind and in the wider field promised him will add new laurels to his brow. It is expected that his nomination will be speedily confirmed by the senate. Mr. Lewis is at present superintendent of the naturalization bureau in Boston, having been promoted from the post of second assistant United States district attorney upon the resignation of John Casey, Esq. In both offices he made an enviable record. He was appointed assistant district attorney by ex-President Roosevelt in 1903, and some of the most difficult cases known to the department have been ably disposed of by him. In one significant instance he received the thanks of Chief J. E. Wilkie of the United States secret service for his superior skill in conducting a case of especial importance in which this branch of the government was deeply interested. Mr. Lewis is a native of Berkeley, Va, where he was born in 1868. His father was a minister of prominence, but not of large salary, and young Lewis was compelled to look out for himself in the matter of securing an education such as he desired. He worked his way as a waiter to earn his college expenses after finishing the common school branches in and about Portsmouth, Va. His ancestors were North Carolinians, and he comes from the best stock of that state. His sister is the wife of Dr. J. J. France, a leading physician of Portsmouth, Va. Mr. Lewis graduated from Amherst college in 1892 and from the law department of Harvard in 1895. He won enviable fame as a football player at Amherst, and this reputation followed him to Harvard. POWER OF THE BALLOT. Heavy Vote of Afro-Americans Cause of Republican Defeat. Heretofore the Negro has been blamed for all the troubles that have come to the Republicans, and that without cause, says the Baltimore Afro-American Ledger. This time some of its troubles may well be laid at his door. He got tired of living off promises and in a number of states decided to help the other fellow, and did. In New York state the Negro was a factor in the election of Dix for governor; in Ohio and Missouri the Negro took an active part in the defeat of the G. O. P. and says he will do it again. Sound Mutual Benefit Concern. One of the safest and most worthy business concerns conducted by Afro-Americans in Texas is the American Mutual Benefit association in Houston. With the large population from which the association has to draw for members and reliable business agents it ought to develop into a great institution for the mutual help of its members and the race throughout the state.

Clark Smith's Symphony by name of Grampse and clever flute player, late of the T. J. Harris Orchestra, Salt Lake City by name of Griffin. In fact this music will bring back memories of the old famous Harris Orchestra that used to play those dreamy pieces that would make you want to dance forever and ever. Don't miss this ball of the whole season. MOORE BEATS HUGHES. Paul Moore, the clever white boxer of Pittsburg, beat Kid Hughes, the clever negro boxer in Pittsburg after a fast and hard fought battle. The Kid nevertheless is game and asked for another bout in the near future, as he is sure that he can beat Moore over the Marathon route. JACK JOHNSON MAY STOP OFF IN DENVER. Jack Johnson on his way to the coast the first of the year writes that he will probably stop off in Denver for two days as he will soon leave this country for an unlimited stay abroad.

I would like to give the reader of the Statesman a few of my views on the white and colored performers of the north and south. Of course there is no comparison when it comes to the white and colored performer working together on the same bill in the south. But I want to say that it has come to the place where the negro in the theatrical business is treated almost ALL AND ENTERTAINMENT OF THE SEASON N BY THE A. A.

BRYOR as bad up north, west and east as he is in the south. Take for instance, the act of the Harper Smith Trio, which played in Denver a few weeks ago and later in Chicago at a white theatre, they being the only negroes onthe bill, and the act was such a "riot" that they were placed in the star position on the bill headlines and the white eprformers raised such a fuss that it looked like war. Now dear people do we have to stand this kind of abuse forever? The negroes of the south are building theatres of their own and they are building them not only in the south but every where in the states. There are 74 negro theaters throughout the United States and when we get ours in Denver that will be one more. We need to be more independent than we are, and when we do get that way, Oh, how much difference it makes in our sense of feeling. We can have our little theater parties and never be molested or insulted. SCOTTS CHAPEL NOTES The Rev. C. W. Holmes will preach Sunday afternoon. We invite the sister churches and their pastors to attend this service. This will be the occasion of our third quarterly conference. The Rev. J. J. Cabbell the district superintendent will preach in the morning and evening and will administer the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper in the afternoon. The Thanksgiving dinner given by the Ladies Aid Society and members and friends of the church was a grand success. We wish to thank all who helped to make this affair a success. Mrs. Louise Burrell, the president, worked very diligently to make this undertaking second to none. She deserves much credit for the way in which the dinner was managed. The various committees worked in harmony from the beginning to the end. Miss Bertha Edgman and Mrs. Beulah Brown will lead the Epworth League Sunday evening. The meeting was led by Mrs. Ada Castry last Sunday evening. You are invited to attend these young people's meeting and take a part in the discussions which are becoming very interesting.

B. Townsend who conducted the Defense Acquital Given Smit Was Over matters which were settled id could not reasonably furnish a notive for murder. he final blow to the prosecution dealt by the producing in court of the quilt and blanket that had covered her and through which the bullet had pierced. These were powd- er marked and burnt. The circum- stances of their finding by Lawyers Townsend and Benson were related. It was shown by competent witnesses that they had really found them and also shown that the house between the time of the killing and their find- ing was in possession of persons who were witnesses for the prosecu- tion, thereby precluding any possibil- ity of fraud. In fact so convincing was the defense that it is likely that had the police examined the premises carefully and not been filled with an assumption of guilt, the trial might never have occurred. The powder stains, the bullet holes in the clothing of the deceased and the course of the bullet through her body convinced the prosecution that it was possible that the wound might have been self-inflicted, or the result of an accident. This taken together with the utter absence of motive pro- duced the acquittal after a legal con- teat the most closely followed of any in this community for years. For two months Miss Smith of St. Louis, a sister of the accused has been in the city. The joy of his sud- den freedom was too much for her on Tuesday, The staid and somber precincts of justice became human and even sentimental while she ex- pressed her thankfulness in hysterical outbursts, Similar must have been the demeanor of the aged mother back in Miskourl when the news was flashed that her boy was once more a free man, The acquittal of George U. Smith is a triumph for Attorney W. B, Town- send. Mr, Townsend was retained on the morning following the shoot- ing and continued to conduct the case through the preliminary details to its final adjudication. Persons who at- tended the triat have spoken in the highest terms of eulogy of the man- ner in which point by point was won for the defendant and fact after fact drawn from witnesses to his benefit, even where the witnesses were there to testify for the prosecution. Noth- ing was leic to conjecture. Every- thing was laid bare. The spectres which suspicion had caused to sur- round the case were laid by the spell of cold reason and law. Random tes- timony was confined to legal and reasonable limits. Even the experts such as doctors who exhumed the corpse and performed an autopsy came in for their cros2-examination. After the doctor who operated under- went Mr. Townsend's fire of ques- tions, he was unable to demonstrate on a living person the point of entry and the course of the bullet. And so on through the whole cross-examina- tion, the same thorough work was done, Had the case gone to the jury, it probably would have been proof of how well he selected his jury. Yet so slowly does the belief gain ground that members of our own race are trustworthy in cases of great im- portance, that the record of victory in this case has distinct news value. It is the eating that is proof of the pudding. This acquittal speaks more for the ability of Mr. Townsend than does his high standing while in Kan- sas University law school, It means more than his being valedictorian of his class. It means more than his degree of LL. B. It is a fitting crown for his record of eighteen victories out of twenty-two murder cases, Space does not permit the telling of the steps whereby victory was won, Every link in the chain of de fense was woven with care and over the difficulties devised by unfriendly persons, The superb whole is a glor- fous tribute to man’s ability to ac- complish wonders over odds, it is an assurance to the whole race that the day approaches when it can measure arms with all men in all departments of life. The praise from bench and bar that has come to Mr. Townsend over his part in the case is music te the ears of all race lovers.

Dr. J. Milton Waldron of Washington, who is the national organizer for the independent ‘political leagues, says: “From reports received,” said Dr. Waldron, “we feel justified in saying that of the 45,000 colored voters in New York state 30,000 voted for Mr. Dix, and of the 75,000 in Ohio 55,000 at least supported Governor Harmon, while in Indiana, Illinois. Massachu- setts, Missouri and New Jersey not less than 50 per cent voted with the Democrats. “These estimates agree with the re- ports of many of the more prominent colored Republican campaign workers and speakers in the states mentioned above whom we have conversed with confidentially since the election “It is a significant fact that all Re- publican gubernational candidates and most of the Republican nominees for congress whom the league opposed were defeated by an overwhelming majority. “It would seem that, while Colonel Roosevelt's advocacy of or opposition to certain candidates in New York and Ohio did not materially change the white vote either way, it drove the colored voter away from the candi- dates he favored and sent large num- bers into the ranks of those he op- PAGE. 10 From Union Comes Strength No matter where you live or what you do, you should investigate the many important issues that the International Liberty Union of the World.

It was not a general rally for the effort was to be confined to the membership of the church. No clubs were organized, nor any assessments levied. Each was asked to respond with a free will offering. $720 in cash were laid on the table, which was largely the result of a competition between sons and daughters of Allen. The Daughters were easily the winners of the laurels. Great credit must be given to Sister Lillie Lewis and Bro. J. C. Porter for the splendid way in which they managed the Thanksgiving dinner. The rally has been extended to Sunday, Dec. 18th, at which time they hope to complete the $1,000. Rev. A. E. Newel, of the West Tenn. Conf. A. M. E. church, who has been transferred to the Calif. Conf., will preach at 11 a. m. The pastor will preach at 7:30 p. m. and administer the Holy Communion at the close of the sermon. The Allen C. E. League will hold consecration services at 6:30 p. m.

C., is very interesting in view of the many difficulties which confront the race in conducting business enterprises which require skill and experience. The list covers many lines of industry and is as follows: Three insurance companies, the Mechanics' bank, two drug stores, one shoe store, two dressmaking establishments, one iron foundry, the Durham textile mills, twenty-five groceries and the Durham Elite Mattress factory; two first class tailoring establishments, five physicians, two dentists, one lawyer, one undertaker, the Durham Reformed Publishing company, several barber shops and one of the largest brick manufacturing establishments in the country, valued at $25,000. "Instead of asserting that it was a mistake to give the Afro-American the rights of citizenship we should devote all our thoughts and energies to raising him to the point to'qualify him to exercise his precious right," says United States Senator Shelby M. Cullom. "We should educate him and do everything in our power to make a good citizen of him. He needs encouragement, and we owe it to ourselves to do all in our power to elevate him." --- If You Want to Buy a Home SEE JACOBS THE REAL ESTATE MAN He has from 15 to 20 houses for sale in all parts of the city.

The thirteenth annual reception of the Society of the Sons of Virginia at Pilgrim hall, Court street, Brooklyn, was one of the most enjoyable social affairs among mutual benefit organizations in the city on Thanksgiving night. It is the custom of the society to make its Thanksgiving reception each year a grand reunion of members and friends. In this respect its desire was more than gratified, for the function proved to be a happy occasion for the renewing of old acquaintances formed between persons when in Virginia who are now residents of New York. Public spirited citizens in many walks of life were present and gave their unqualified approval of the record and work of the organization. In the line of duty to its members and liberal warmth of spirit and generosity toward churches, charitable institutions and educational interests of the race it won the highest respect and praise of the public a few years ago by making one of its members who lost his sight independent for life and paid his endowment when he died a few months ago. This act, with many other kindnesses shown to members who became sick or otherwise disabled, has made the name Society of the Sons of Virginia a household word. The members for the most part are loyal and true to the principles of the organization and delight in working for its prosperity. By thrift and economy the society has saved a snug sum of several thousand dollars. Its bills are promptly paid, and it is clear of debt. It is incorporated under the laws of the state of New York and has an elective board of directors of nine members. Peter H. Fisher, president of the society, is one of the best known and most highly respected citizens of Brooklyn. He is an Odd Fellow of rank, and as clerk of the Concord Baptist Church of Christ for the past twenty-five years he is known throughout the northern and New England states. John W. Winters, chairman of the reception committee, is a well known and successful business man. Madam J. M. Mason DRESSMAKING PARLORS Connected with the London Clothes Cleaning and Pressing Co.

LESSONS IN SELF RESTRAINT Young Writer's Psychological View of Parents' Responsibility In the Education of Children-Best Methods of Preparing Young Minds For the Reception and Retention of Knowledge. A very true saying of an able barrister whose name I do not recall is that there are three things in knowing. First, is knowing what to know; second, is knowing how to know, and, third, is knowing when to know. The importance of home education to children or sowing the seeds of cultivation should claim the most careful attention of all teachers. The agriculturist and horticulturist are two skilled persons whom the world must admire and feel proud of. In the first instance they look at the condition of the soil, enrich it, then sow it with such seed as the soil will best yield and cultivate it for the community at large. Who can but admire the neatness and greenishness and freshness when traveling along a country road during cultivation season? In the second case the person plants and cultivates such things that give us shade and adorn our yards with verdure, beauty and fragrance. So we observe that there are health, strength and beauty combined in the previous kind of sowing and cultivation. How much more important it is that the lives of our children should boast of this health, strength and beauty. The education of children requires consideration of human nature in general, which changes with the progressive development of youth; consideration of the age in which they are living, of the personality of each individual character and of the law of development, which as regards the spiritual nature is a higher outcome of the general law of the development of the universe. There is not enough of conviction in the minds of the parents and guardians that the responsibility of their children's acts, either good or bad, rests upon their older shoulders; that the final outcome of their children's lives depends almost entirely upon parental influences. The bringing up of a child thus means a series of lessons in self restraint, in watchfulness and in adherence to an ideal for the parent even more than for the child. The child will fashion himself after the patterns that he sees. He does not grow according to any fixed rule implanted in him before birth. We must know exactly what children are, what their development is and for what they are best fitted. It must be admitted that this task, or duty, rather, always has been bestowed upon the gentler sex, for the hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world. One of our greatest statesmen—in fact, one of the best men the world has yet known—was praised on one occasion for his greatness, and Abraham Lincoln replied, "All that I am, all that I ever shall be, is due to my aged mother." The earnest mother can give a logical training in the home. Your child has bumped his head. Let him see that it was not the fault of the table, but of himself, because he did not look where he was going. Thus by learning the cause he learns to avoid further bumps. In fact, that only is the right education which makes all learning serve as an instrument with which to train the child to see in an effort the cause in other words, to become a rational being to whom great truths of life have been shown. And, again, the child before whose eyes sensible objects are brought in the correct order of the parts to the whole and in the logical connection of things will, when reflected power is developed, also perceive this order of logical connection clearly and definitely in the intellectual world. Some people strive to develop the child along moral lines adopted by society. Others strive to develop the child both morally and intellectually so that he will be an object of admiration at home, in society and in business. And this is truly an intelligent aim. Teach the child to measure his life by acts of goodness, to study daily the things that are pure and noteworthy, to be charitable in his dealings with others, to remove or hide the smile and cease to rejoice at the efforts or mistakes of others, to strive always to perform his duty in the right way and to remember that the greatest person is the one who chooses the right with invincible resolution, who bears the heaviest burdens cheerfully, who is calmest in storm and most fearless under menace and whose reliance on truth and virtue and in good is most unfaltering. The task of education is to assist natural development toward its destined end. As the child's development begins with its first breath, so must its education; also as the beginning gives a foundation to the whole after development, so the early beginnings of education are of most importance. Much interest has been aroused in lightweight pugilistic circles by the announcement that Bob (Kid) Smith, the clever lightweight pugilist, is scheduled to visit the United States about Dec. 1. He is said to be very clever and will seek to take on those of his class at an early date. Mr. Smith will probably make his first stop in Chicago. Engineers Interested In New Device. Railroad engineers are said to be very much interested in the new coupling apparatus for trains patented by Dr. W. D. Tardiff of Stanford, Ky. The new device enables an engineer to unhook his engine without leaving his cab. It is both a convenience and a time saver. Dr. Tardif has something which the railroads need and which many are anxious to purchase. Much Expected of Governor Dix. Bruce Grit of Yonkers, N.

A GREAT OPEN PARLIAMENT. It Will Be the Most Significant Gathering Ever Convened For the Purpose of Discussing Man's Relation to Man Since the Beginning of the Twentieth Century. By N. BARNETT DODSON. Perhaps the greatest event of the twentieth century, so far as the colored races are concerned, will be the first universal race congress, which will meet at the University of London, London, England, July 26-29, 1911. The president of the congress is the Right Hon. Lord Weardale, the chairman of the general committee is Professor Felix Adler of New York and the general secretary Gustav Spiller of London, who has been visiting the United States. As Mr. Spiller said, "The object of the congress is to discuss in the light of modern knowledge and the modern conscience the general relations subsisting between the peoples of the west and those of the east, between so called white and so called colored peoples, with a view to encouraging between them a fuller understanding, the most friendly feelings and a heartier cooperation." Judging from the reactionary tone in America, one would expect that such a congress would receive scant welcome in the world, but this is not so. The congress has received hearty support from hundreds of influential men. Among those who are backing the project are many members of the permanent court of arbitration, a majority of the delegates to the second Hague conference, twelve British governors, eight M. PROFESSOR W. E. B. DUBOIS. British premiers, more than forty colonial bishops, some 130 professors of PROFESSOR W. E. B. DUBOIS. British premiers, more than forty colonial bishops, some 130 professors of THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. international law, many well known anthropologists and sociologists and a majority of the council of the interparliamentary union. In this congress each race will be asked to speak for itself and to speak frankly, and the speeches will be issued in a bound volume before the congress convenes. The first speaker will be an East Indian, the next two will be German and French scientists and the fourth the general secretary, Mr. Spiller, who will speak on the problem of race equality. The next session will be taken up in discussions of the general conditions of progress, and there will be heard such scientists as Sergi and Deniker on conditions of racial progress. These sessions will be continued Thursday morning with papers from China, Japan, Turkey, Persia, India, Egypt and Haiti. Then there will come a series of papers on the peaceful contact between civilizations and on problems of interracial economics. The American Negro, however, will be mostly interested in the sessions of Friday, when the vital question of the modern conscience in relation to racial questions will come up. Israel Zangwill will speak for the Jews, Sir Charles Dilke will speak for forced labor, Dr. Blyden will speak on West Africa, Dr. DuBois on the Negro in America, Dr. Eastman on the American Indian and Mr. Jabavo on the South African native. Two secretaries for America have been appointed—the Rev. Frederick J. Lynch and Dr. W. E. B. DuBois. Dr. DuBois is specially concerned with arousing interest among colored people. He plans to organize a select committee of leading colored people, who are going to be asked to attend the congress in person. Of course all others who wish may attend, but it is particularly desired that the attendance shall be representative. Interesting articles on the race's congress have appeared in the Review of Reviews, New York Independent and the New York Evening Post. The Ethical World says: "For every day purposes we may conveniently divide mankind into the white, black and yellow families. All history tells the sad tale of their wars and jealousies, and later history also tells the tale of a dawning sense of oneness Judge Morris of Maryland did what the astute jurists of the United States supreme court have not had backbone enough to do, says the Norfolk (Va.) Journal and Guide. He pronounced the infamous "grandfather clause" in violation of the fifteenth amendment to the constitution of the United States. Somehow we believe Judge Morris' decision spells disaster to the suffrage amendments. Traditions of the Democratic Party. Judging the future in the light of the past, one can easily see the outcome of the Democratic situation two years hence, says the Houston (Tex.) Freeman. Doing the wrong thing at the wrong time seems to be an established rule and a tradition, too, of the Democratic party. New Masonic Lodge Instituted. The Masonic fraternity in Orange, N. J., and vicinity had an interesting time at the recent institution of a new lodge of the Free and Accepted Masons in that town.

Ford's administration which laid the foundation for the acquisition of the splendid property of which Zion is now possessed. Through his advice the four lots to the south of the church were purchased at a cost of $11,000 and about $5,000 in cash was raised and paid on the property. The wisdom of Rev. Ford's policy is seen in the present value of the property, which is estimated to be worth more than $40,000. After the resignation of Dr. Ford the forces were led for the next year and a half by the Rev. A. E. Reynolds. Rev. Reynold's work decreased the debt by about $2,000. From the close of the administration of Rev. Reynolds in October, 1908, the church was for a fe wmonths without a pastor when much of the results of former years' labor was lost through lack of leadership. Near the close of that year the late Dr. R. N. Countu took charge of the work to bring harmony out of dis A 1. J. RILEY One of Zion's Founders cord and to assist in securing a permanent pastor. Rev. Countu at great personal sacrifice remained with the church through the winter '08 and '09 and to him is due the credit of leading the church through one of the most critical periods of Zion's history. His undaunted courage and matchless leadership brought order out of confusion and influenced the church to settl on the present pastor, D. E. Over, who took charge of the work March 21st, 1909. Since that date the history of the work is too well known to be written. Almost from the day of Rev. Over's settlement the progress of the church has been uninterrupted. Difficulties have been settled, peace restored and nearly 200 members have been added to the roll. The administration has been pre-eminently blessed from the material as well as spiritual side. In less than two years the remainder of the debt on the property which together with interest amounting to over $5,000 has been wiped out and a current expense of nearly $3,000 per year has been promptly met, leaving Zion Baptist church today one of the strongest institutions, numerically, financially and spiritually in the Great West.

The Twenty-third Anniversary of Arapahoe Lodge was the occasion of a social evening Wednesday night at its hall. Speeches by F. T. Bruce, the father of Odd Fellowship in this section, Henry Bryant, a charter member, Geo. D. Hall, a charter member and others made up the program. The eatables and drinkables finished an evening full of social good fellowship. Arapahoe Lodge now numbers 60 members and in point of property is the wealthiest lodge in the city and one of the wealthiest in the whole order. Ten years ago it bought its present property at 1832 Arapahoe street for $4,500. Its value now is estimated between $10,000 and $12,000. At the time the purchase was made it had only $800 in its treasury. Now it has more than that with all debts paid. For convenience it maintains two treasuries, one for its trustees and one for the lodge proper. Its other charter members are Wm. Barnett and Fred Jackson.
