Four hundred and fifty thousand
babies killed by impure or adulterated
foods is the record for the last year,
according to the statement of the
secretary of the Indiana board of
health. This beats the army which
goes down to drunkards'
graves. as portrayed in temperance
lectures. Can it be true that pure

The st. Adams Messenger has taken
the delinquent tax law under its edi
torial wing and is doing wondrous SER
vice in its behalf. on the face of
things, law that permits an ire
sponsible board of listers, legally or
illegally, to take away the voting pow
er of a private citizen without redress
is a bad thing and places in the hands
of three men a power that no mere
men are fit to exercise.

there will be such a change it will be
necessary to hurry the furnace fires

POLICE DISCRIMINATION.

Can it be possible that the Po-
lice Department of Denver, in the
ferreting out and suppression of
crime, has adopted a certain rule
of action where whites are con-
cerned and an entirely different
one when the victims happen to
be colored? A week or two ago a
white woman reported at the po-
lice headquarters that pair of
earrings was taken from her on the
street, and that she thought the
thief was a Negro. Quicker than
one could say scat detail of po-
lice was sent out and a hundred
Negroes were indiscriminatelv
gathered up and thrown into the
city jail, without warrant of arrest.
They spent night or two in pris
on and were then discharged with
out any specific offense being
charged against them. 1t was
quite sufficient in the judgment of
our great chief of police, that the
victim being white and the crimi-
nal supposed to be colored, that
the entire Negro population should
be arrested. But how different is
the conduct of the Police in the
case of Mrs. Julia Hubbard. one
of the most influential colored lad
les of the city.
Last Saturday night while on
her way home she was severely
slugged with some heavy weapon
by some thug who she thinks was
colored man. The case was i'm
mediately reported by telephone
to the Police department, but.
they have paid 10 attention to it.
Mrs. Hubbard suffered great pain
and injuries which threaten to
leave permanent marks. But she
is colored, and that seems to be
good and sufficient reason for the
department to ignore the case.

LEE A DEVoUT CHRISTIAN,

His Religion Strong Trait of Great
Southern Leader.
Capt. Robert E. Lee says that one
OF the strongest traits OF his fathers
character was his reliance on God as
the supreme arbiter in all the affairs
OF men. In this Lee was not different
from other great leaders of the confed-
eracy. Jefferson Davis constantly
called on his people to repair to their
churches and thank God for victory
or implore his favor in their sacred
cause. Often all the churches of the
larger southern cities were crowded
to their utmost capacity at weekday
prayer services. After the first battle
OF Manassas Gen. Lee said: "The bat
tie will be repeated there in greater
force. | hope God will again smile
on us and strengthen our hearts and
arms. When he was in the midst of
tne struggle for West Virginia, he
wrote out of the fullness of his heart:
enjoyed the mountains as l rode
along. The views are magnificent
the valleys so beautiful, the scenery
SO peaceful. What a glorious world
Almighty God has given us. How
thankless and ungrateful we are and
how we labor to mar his gifts!'-Chi-
cago News.

enjoyment and Zest for Life Not Con-
fined to the Young.
1outhfulness is a quality very diff
ncult to describe. AS often as not it
proceeds from the mind rather than
from appearance, and one often feels
with middle-aged and elderly people
that they are in reality far more
youthful in ideas, in the keenness of
their enjoyment and in their fresh
outlook than many of ones acquaint-
ances who in point of years are mere
girls. 1t is said that every age has it's
compensations and undoubtedly there
are many mothers of families and
grandmothers. too, who own to an en-
1oyment and zest for life equal to that
experienced in early years. Youthful
ness Is temperament and the capacity
for taking the simple goods that are
TO be found in existence rather than in
waiting for superlative joys which
may never arrive. The bored person
or either sex is invariably weari-
some companion, while one with .
Keen sense of enjoyment adds to the
weil-being Of others a thousand fold

where fires have made vacancies
or where old and unsightly build
ings have reached stage where
the exigencies of trades and the
elegancies of a modern and
progressive city loudly clamor for
their removal. The residential
parts also feel the full impulse of
this rising tide of industrial acti-
vity. Real estate is rapidly chang
ing hands at good figures, Pri-
vate residences, flats and terraces
(some of very pretentious char
acter) are scheduled to rise in var
ious parts of the city. Consider
able paving of streets is under
way, while a plan is being matur-
ed by the public-spirited business
men, aided by the city, to so
decorate Seventeenth street by
substantial, ornamental and useful
improvements as to make that
busy artery of traffic one of the
most magnificent and beautiful
thorougfares in the country. This
all gives employment to labor at
good living wages. And herein
lies the opportunity of the colored
laborer. There will be work for
the bricklayer, the carpenter, the
plasterer, the layer of asphalt, and
last but not least the great army
of hod. carriers. Our people are
more or less represented in all
these lines of useful industry.
We should early take advantage of
these openings and stick to them
through the season, saving as
much money as we can for a rainy
day or to buy homes. In this con-
nection we are pleased to record
the fact obtained from many relia-
BILE sources, that the race seems
more awakened than ever to the
great necessity of owning their
homes. Many imbued with this
spirit are investing every dollar
they can save in real estate, and
are laying the foundation to be-
come in time substantial and in
fuential citizens. For it must
not be forgotten that the owner
ship of a part of the soil in any
community in which one lives al
ways clothes the owner with GER
tain added dignity, respect and in
huence which he could not other
wise enjoy.
This is above all the time to in
vest, since it is hardly conceivable
that times in Denver will be in the
future as quiet as during the past
year The discrimination and ex-
clusion which have been so potent
against the race in the matter of
renting desirable houses have
proved blessing in disguise. for
this policy is compelling them to
buy their own homes and thus
take root in the country.
