All of this is said in order to
ask what is the colored voter to
do? How will he play his part?
Where will he get his?
The COLORADO STATESMAN be-
lieves in getting in on the ground
floor We believe in starting in
time and ask our readers to begin
now to think it over. First. Dis
cuss the situation over with your
self, with your family, at home,
among your friends, at the club
and make up your mind to have a
part in it. Second. Look up
now your precinct organization be
member of it. Attend the pre-
cinct caucus and primaries, help
name the precint ticket, be one
on the ticket and attend to your
interest in naming delegates and
selecting proper officers. The COL
oRADo STATESMAN last spring took
pains to give a series of articles
on the A. B. Q. of politics, now is
the time to put these instructions
into practice. Self interest is first
interest and first duty. An once
of prevention is worth a pound of
cure, and if you fail to do your part
now don't complain later on. We
are showing our interest in your
welfare by pointing out the way
in time and if you will go to work
now you will be a factor when the

have hand on the machine in
stead of being dragged behind the
machine without your concent.
Your value is estimated by your
influence and your vote and the
only way to be worth something
is to control things at the primar-
les and in your ward then you will
be heard when the clans assemble.

SHOULD RECEIVE PUBLIC TENTION

Denver's colored citizens are to
be congratulated on having the
very best influences at work about
them. Perhaps no city in the ma
ton, certainly none in the West
can compare with the excellent
and exalted standard set for their
inspiration and uplift as the press,
pulpit and Peoples Sunday Alli-
ance offers the citizens of Denver.
The colored press of Denver seeks
nothing but wholesome, clean and
uplifting news. The COLORADO
STATESMAN for instance INDUCES
in no muke-rakism scandal, yellow
journalism or sensational news or
puppy gossip but seeks to acquaint
its large number of readers all over
the state with the best news and

information of the Negro from ev-
cry section of the world and the
public shows its appreciation by
increasing our subscription roll
and reading force.
Second. The pulpits of Denver
are the best and strongest, BRAIN
lest and purest, most progressive
and practical of any city in the
nation and the people ought to at
tend the churches and show their
loyalty by swelling the congrega-
tions and giving heed to the adj
vice and messages of power that
come from Denver pulpits.
Third. The People Sunday AL

politics is one of the best agen-

TO THE POINT.

Money may be acquired by accident
manners never.
The worst thing about eating is that
1t takes away ones appetite.
For multltudes of young people
there is no home, only a place to
sleep in.
The simplicity of those who advo-
cate it is, perhaps, the most remark
able thing about the simple life.
The dark seriousness of death is
iirely effective background for the
harleqninade of a wasted existence.
The simple life does not need lentils
>r cellular clothing; II needs those
rarer things, gratitude and humility.
We often delude ourselves with the
Idea that We are virtuous, when iu
reality we are simply giving our ac-
customed follies a rest.
If you wish for truth, you must give
freedom: there must be neither exse
ton nor tyranny. 1t is human to do

POLITICAL LINEUP.

We take a clipping from one of
the daily papers as follows.
'The political battle in Colorado
this fall will be the hottest since
1900" propesied an old war horse.
as he shifted the political air and
there is hardly a person familiar
with Colorado politics who does
not agree with him. There are
many more who say it will be the
hottest fight, and the state has
ever seen, for there is so much at
stake. The great prize is the SEN
atorship-the great prize that has
attracted Colorado statesmen for
thirty years now. The fight over
this place eclipses even presiden-
tial fight, and SO it will be this
year. In 1900 there was both a
president and a senator to fight
over, but Colorado was SO surely
Democratic then that there was
but little question of the result.
Now 1t is a concededly close
state, any way you figure it.
When one thinks of the multitude
of public offices which men must
be elected to fill this fall he hard
ly wonders at the political activity
that is shaking the state from CEN
ter to circumference. Take a con-
servative estimate, just to astonish
yourself with the figures.
To begin with there is the
United States senatorship, with a
half dozen aspirants in each party
and as many dark horses. Then
there is the state ticket with seven
leading places, the two supreme
court justiceships, three members
of congress, the sixty-fve members
of the state senate, the five dis
trict judges in Denver and dis
trict Judge in each of the twelve
or more judicial districts through
out the state. Each of the coun-
ties will choose full sets of county
offices, and of the fifty and more
counties there will be seven Off
ces to fill in each county. Add
this all up, and then multiply it by
two, for each of the two great par
ties will have a possible winner
named for each office, and the re-
suit is that approximately 500
good political candidates will be
trying to fill them. Plums? Pie?
Why, there's nothing like it, and
it is not the slightest exageration
to say that for the 300 offices 5000
men are waiting and anxious to
fill them. This is saying nothing
of the thousands of minor posi-

BOOKER T. wASHINTON's ADDRESS.

In another part of this paper
will be found extracts of Mr..
Washington's address at Kansas
City. This is not to attract atten-
ton to the nestor of Tuskegee for
he already bears a National repu-
tation and anything we might say
would add but little to his fame
but we speak of his address and
call attention to his words in order
that our readers may weigh his ad-
vice, ponder over his statements
and profit thereby. First. He en-
phasizes the fact that he is not
ashamed of being a Negro and he
would not have his color changed
even if it were possible by
devine decree. When the race
has learned to honor their color
and make it a badge of manhood
and not shame two-thirds of the
race problem is settled. Second.
He contended that the race was
poor but it was not depraved and
drew wide distinction between
poverty and depravity that ought
to be recognized by every one.
One makes attainment possible the
other impossible. Third. He spoke
of the races ability and eager
ness to learn. Any race that is
teachable is hopeful of much good.
If the race as whole will but an
alyze these statement they will find
no reason to dispair but will take
courage. Mr.. Washington is no
carping critic or pessimist. He is
full of cheer, hope, vigor and vital
energy. He is an example of
what he breaches and the people
both white and colored everywhere
hear him gladly and are ready to
hear him again. His mess
age is never old, never dull,
never tiresome. He indulges
in no platitudes, no tinsel, no fine
spun oratory He breaches the
gospel of work, of strenuous life,
of open door, of manhood. A gos-
pei that the race needs and must
practice if it is to catch on and
keep up in the race of the survival
of the fittest. This is the reason
Booker T. Washington's mes
sags is important. This is why
the people hear him gladly and

call attention to it in this article
and ask you to read it thought
