Propriety of Keeping Up Appear
ances Impressed on Officer
Holding Important Corpora
ton Position.

Some months ago an officer holding
an important executive post in one of
the greater corporations received a
kindly, almost neighborly, call from
one of his fellow directors. This Of
ficer had returned from brief vaca-
ton trip. The fellow director said
to him that in view of their long
friendship and their respect and ad-
miration each for the ability and
achievements of the other, he was 60
ing to speak somewhat plainly to that
officer. Then he put this question
bluntly to him:
What will you be willing to pay to
keep your placer"
1t seemed strange question. The
executive officer did not know at first
what to make of it. He saw, of course,
tLat there was some kindly, although
hidden, purpose in the question and so
he answered in the spirit in which the
inquiry was put. He said that, of
course, if it were necessary and was
the proper thing to do, he would
rather pay large sum of money than

Founder of the c. A. r.

Denver, Sept. Sat the National
encampment yesterday there were
over $4,000 given in pledges for the
G. A. r. monument to DR.. B. f. Ste
phenson, to be erected at Washington,
d. c., which now brings the amount
contributed to over $4,000, and the
committee now expects to bring this
up to $4,000. 2. G.. Simon of Keno
sha, Wisconsin, yesterday raised the
amount of his offering to $4,000. With
the beautiful bronze medals presented
to all members of the G. A. r., Mr.
Simon has given much toward perpet-
uating the organizations memory. He
has had $4,000 of these struck off, and
each one is in handsome case.

OPENING OF THE PUBLIC
SCHOOLS.

The public school stands as a
bulwark of the nation. 1t is built
by the taxes and supported by the
suffrage of the people. Its doors
are open to all and its mission is to
reach even the humblest child in
the community Every mother and
father owes it to himself and to the
race as well as to the nation to see
that his child has a proper educa-
ton. This training should not be
neglected, especially in the years
when The mind is most active and
capable of the largest and quickest
development. Our watchword at
this time is, see that your child is
in school. See that he goes the first
day and every day and up to the
last day. Let no excuse keep you
from doing your full duty to your
children. If you cannot afford to
buy books for your child they will
be furnished to you free of cost by
the Board of Education, the tuition
is free and almost everything else
for the asking. There is no excuse
in this city why every boy and girl
should not be in school and kept in
school until he or she has finished
the last grade of the high school.
Many parents will send their
children away to colleges and AGA
denies and some to professional
schools, others will go to teach We
are glad to see so many of our
Colorado young people fitting
themselves for seryiceable occupa-
tons, but we feel that this rank and
file of our people have not taken
me fullest advantage of the "ublic
schools as they might and our
words are sent out to them in par
ticular Do not neglect your OPP
portunity for your child s sake and
for the good of all concerned. AS
a race we cannot afford to have
any of our young people without
the advantages of a common school
education, and especially since it
costs you nothing but a determina-
ton to see that your child does not
come behind in any good thing.

What Situation Was Worth

to lose that office, for 1t represented
his ambition and was in line with his
achievements. But I do not know
what you are driving at" this officer
continued.
Then the officer was told that while,
of course, it was impossible to take
seriously the question, What money
are you willing to take to hold the
Office" nevertheless there was price
which he would have to pay and that
price was this: He must give UP
ostentatious living, he must be es-
pecially careful to observe local ordin-
ances, not driving .recklessly with his
automobile, he must be careful to keep
all the appearances of propriety, he
must do all things that a sober-minded,
self-respecting citizen should do, and
if his disposition led him to genteel
dissipation, riotous living or to osten-
tation then the giving up of those
things was the price he would have to
pay if he desired to keep his office.
And the reason why that price was
exacted was that as officer of cor
poration in which the public has in
vested heavily he must necessarily
heed public opinion even in the con-
duct of his private life.-New York
Letter in Philadelphia Press.

On asking nurse whose child it was,
found-most curious thing-it wss my
own. Asked the woman If / had any
more like it and was informed there
were two others equally charming.
Really delighted to think one has
such nice children. Shall certainly
call in at the nursery suppose We
have nursery-and see the others. 1
might take them some toys--I believe
children like toys-only don't know
what these particular ones have al
ready. Perhaps it would be safer to
take chocolates.

Visited children this afternoon.
Quite an adventure. Wandered about

person, who offered to show me where
nursery was situated.
Children rather shy at first, but
soon came up to me to make friends.
Wanted to know where 1 lived and
what was my name. One of them
seemed to remember meeting me in
the house long time ago-must have
been when children were the smart
thing.

seem used to cigarettes in the nurs-

The Importance of Proper Breathing

ton is most frequently seen in seden-
tary men and infants. The opposite
style of breathing, known as costal
breathing, is seen in women who ha-
bitually wear waist-constricting gar
ments. The principal movement is
at the top Of the chest.
Neither costai nor abdominal res
piration is capable of bringing the
lungs fully into action. Only such por-
lions of the lungs act as lie in con-
tact with portion of the chest wall
which moves during the respiratory
effort, and in those parts which lie in
contact with portions of the chest
wall which remain idle the air stag
mates. Carbonic acid gas and other
poisonous matters accumulate. The
living cells are thereby poisoned and
paralyzed. Pneumonia germs and
other disease-producing microbes and
especially the germs of tuberculosis
are likely to find lodgment in these
idle parts. The paralyzed cells are
easily overcome by the invading
germs and so an acute Inflammation
may be set up, or, still worse. that
dreadful disease, pulmonary tubercu-
losis, or consumption, obtains foot
hold.

BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES.

Denver offers fine business OPP
portunities along many lines. Our
city is young yet and not built up
like a great many of the older and
larger municipalities. We have OPP
portunity yet of training our peo-
pie to patronize home industries,
but there have been so few enter
prises to point our people to that
are controlled by members of our
own race that they have of neces-
sity turned to the people of other
races to make their purchases. This
habit when once formed will hold
them and when we do open new en-
terprises it will be hard to sever
them from an established custom.
Along every line Denver offers in
ducements such as are seldom seen
elsewhere, and now is the time to
begin. Most of the coloed visi-
tors to our city this summer were
inquiring, Where are the colored
business enterprisesg We had few
to show them and they seemed sur
prised that here in this progressive
and intelligent city, we had so little

this Goth day of August, repre-

than 16, coo Negroes, do most en-
phatically and positively declare
that the sentiments expressed by

misrepresentation of the senti
ments of the law abiding Negroes
of this country. While we must
strongly denounce all violations of
law, yet we are equally as strong
in our opinion that its majesty
should be upheld and the punish.
ment metel out to all such VIOLA
tors by due process of law. We
do not condone crimes of any kind
whether committed by black or
white. And the particularly hell
ish crime of outraging women
should in our opinion be followed
by the most severe punishment,
swiftly melted out by due process
of law.
while this crime is barbarous.
the stake is far more barharous
and inhuman. We cannot con-
ceive how an assemblage Of chris
tian ministers could by amy meth
od OF reasoning imaginable put
themselves on record as fovoring
the taking of human life, contrary
to- the laws of God, and of man.
thereby lowering themselves to the
herd of these inhuman wretches
and monsters. We would reiterate
that the law abiding Negroes do
not favor but denounce mod ;yio-
lence in any of its phases under
any circumstances and we do most
strongly condemn the action Of
this association in thus placing the
Negro ministry in compromising
false and disgraeeful light before
the country. The members of this
association also showed their ig-
norance in their denunciation of
Booker T. Washington, whom we
deem, one of the ablest and most
influential citizen in the United
States.
