Conventions Of Negroes In many
quarters are endorsing the candida
scy of Judge Taft. The Lott Carey
Baptist Convention, which has been
holding is session here, declared for
Taft in an eloquent and well-wrttten
address to the country and EXPIRES
sed the view that the President was
not Influenced by race prejudice in
his action on the Brownsville mat
ter. The district conference of the
A. M. T.. Zion church, held not long
ago in John Wesley church, gave
TAFT an unequiYocal endorsement
The big ratification meeting at True
Reformers' hall, on the 22nd, under
the auspices of the Empire State Re-
publican Club, showed that success
full Taft meetings can be held here,
and second ratification barbecue at
Nadre's Park, ON Labor Day, clinch-
ed the fact that the hold Of the par
ty upon the affections Of the Negro
Is undiminished, despite the efforts
Of subsidized orators or organs to
nave the people otherwise. 1t Is sig
nifcant that out Of the 800 or more
race journals published throughout
the land, only one can be counted as
an enemy to Judge Taft~-and its in
huence is nullffed by the Democrat
ic record Of It's owners family for
three generations and by it's fanati-
cal personal feeling agapst all who
40 not take up the cudgels against in
dustrial education. In fuehtial vfs-
itors from various states have sub
mitted to interviews, in which they
stated their conviction that Taft
should and will. be elected. The pa
triotic stand of Senator Foraker in
favor of the ticket makes 1t Inn posi-
bic for any colored friend of his to
bolt and pretend to be. loyal to the
Senator himself H.. .... o.. ....

There is no bottom to the ASSERTION

may be Of discomfort, adroitly stirred
up by garbled reports of Judge faft's
views on the franchise or 'by mislead-
ing lights thrown on the admins
tration Of President Roosevelt, will
disappear when the truth is told.
The office holders are giving the tick
ct their hearty endorsement, but are
not making themselves unduIy CON

done by men who are not in office
and who are beyond the need of an

stand for equality Of citizenship for

in relation to secular things. We have
 no controversy with the man who takes as his motto, No excellence without
 great labor" We do not have to look ] far for evidence of the necessity for
 self-denial The. men who have been
 most successful have been men who denied themselves. Benjamin Frank i lin illustrates this truth remarkably in his-1ife; Abraham Lincoln, another; | Demonsthenes, the most wonderful | orator the world ever knew, another. | Self denial is necessary then to secu- l lar success. The same is true in na ture. The flower does not struggle for its life and it's existence, but it is continually laying down its life for the flowers that shall come after it.
 If we must deny ourselves in things secular to succeed, surely, surely it is doubly necessary in things spiritual Abraham, Moses and Daniel, were mighty men of God because they de- nied themselves. Christ. our Master gave us the truest and greatest ex- ample of self denial. Not another word is necessary to prove the need of self denial for spiritual success.
 The measure of our self-denlal is the measure of our concern for the things of God. We do not like to con template that particular fact, but it is nevertheless a fact. The artist who put in the flames his last article of household furniture that he might learn the secret of burning pottery showed the measure of concern for that in which he was interested. The same rule holds in spiritual lift.
 Murry McShane, in the grin of the great white plague, put the gospel horn to his lips and to the hour of his death spoke the word of God to those about him. Why? Because he was concerned about the souls of men. Let us be willing to deny ourselves.
 It is self-denial that makes strong character. Young man, young woman, don't spend any time mourning over the trials of your life; don't stop to be- moan the fact that you haven't been born to a competence. One of the ,most valuable heritages in this age of the world is the heritage of poverty. Luther. Bunyon, Calvin and many oth- CTS prove that poverty is no bar to achievement to success. It takes self denial to make strong men. How sig nificant it is that Cod sets his seal upon the practice of self-deniaL
 There is no argument that can so quickly and completely shut the mouth of the rcviler ot the church as the self-denial of it's people. The great amount oe money laid each year on the aita- to send the gospel to those who do not know Christ and the mil lions and millions of dollars given tc comfort the needy and stricken, present an inyincible argument for the Church of God. None can overthrow this ar gument for the reality of the religion of Christ"

 President BarstOw of the Seven teenth irrigation congress is also busy at work or tke organization of his committee staff. He has announced the personnel of several important committees and is at work on others. one is the Pan American Committee" which will represent the congress in a reclamation organization to be formed at the convention Of Pan American re- publics, and it is planned, if that works successfully to organize an internatiOn- al irrigation congress to take in the whole world. or so much of it as de- sires to participate The Pan Ameri- can committee consists Of the presi dent and secretare,, Messrs.

ORGANIZATION FOR
 EFFECTIVE WORK
New Officers and Committees of the Irrigation Congress and Federation Of Water Users Associations Are Losing No Time.

B. A. Fowler, secretary of the Six
 tcenth irrigation congress and reelected
 t. the same office for the Seventeenth
 session, has rec .ited g letter from R.
 E Twitchell secretary of the Albuquer que board of ccLtrOl saying he has ico1signed to hin large number of the printed copies nf the proceedings of
 the Fifteenth congress held at Sacra-
 mento and that at an early day le will
 proyidc him alsn with a supply of tho
 proceedings of the Sixteenth congress. These. said Nr nwler. will be for general distribution to those who would
 like then and Will appreciate them.
 They are quite attractive volumes t. any one interested in irrigation mat
 ters, as they con'ain all the addresses
 made ara raPcTs submitted to the re-
 spcctiye cingresses, some of which are
 well worth preserving for later refer cree.
 pPe insiitution that has grown out of the irrigation congress, and that has hot been fully appreciated in these parts, is the federation of Water Users associations. This is an organization ic'mpbse1 solely of the officers of the various wa,er users associations form e,l under the different reclamation pro- jrcts in the country. The association holds annual meetings during the ses- sions of the irrigation congress at which are presented the different phases of association work. Compari- sons are made. differing conditions are discussed and suggestions are inter changed. The Salt River Valley Water Users association was the first one formed and the others are all modelled very largely after this pattern, origin ally worked out in the main by Judge Kibbey.
 The number of associations now or ganiZed makes quite a likely cOnven- tion when the officers all get together They have found their deliberations to be mutually profitable and expect to make them more so. It is quite an honor to this valley to have furnished the original draft of the organizations which are now adopted as part of the governments reclamation plan. It was also something of an honor to the valley to have MT. Fowler chosen as the president of the federation last year and an added honor that he was re- elected to serve for another year.
 In speaking of the work of the fed Cration, Mir. Fowler said that s. J. Harrison of Sunnyside Wash, president of the Sunnyside Water Users asso- ciation. had been chosen secretary Of the federation. Mir. Harrison is a hustler and is already deeply engrossed in his work. It is planned to issue a monthly bulletin for the interchange of information concerning the progress of affairs in all the associations. Mir Harrison has already sent out cir
 ul;,r letter to the secretaries of the variuIs associations asking for data icOnce-ning them and Secretary Van der Vecr of the $. R. V. W. '. A is engaged in making a proper response

NEED OF SELF DENIAL
 THE SPIRITUAL GROWTH
The Subject of Rev. Henry Martyr
 Campbel's Sermon Yesterday.

Sunday morning, October 11th. Rev. Henry Martyr Campbell preached on Self Denial7 using as a text part of the twenty fourth verse of the six teenth chapter of Matthew. If any man will come after me, let him deny himself" The following thoughts are chosen from the discourse given.
 These wonderful words present to us an essential condition of Christian life. They are test of true disciples ship. The Master uttered this senti- ment again and again. It is not a natural tendency of the human heart to want to believe this. We do not want to denE- ourselves.
 Successful Christian service Is nec- .essarily preceded by self-deniaI. We try to over look that necessity and we are overlooking it constantly and for getting to make the application of this important test. We accept this as true
