Harmony of the Races.

In his lecture at Boston last on
Harmony Between Races u
among other things Bishop Gaines
said:
1.-The race question will never be
settled except along the lines of
Christianity, e, until it is settled
right. God has SO forced it that
there can never be harmony be-
tween men unless this harmony is
based on mutual rights.
1.-The Colored man asks only to
be recognized as a human being
with all the rights of one. Many
colored men have shown that they
can take on themselves the high
est civilization and stand shoulde~
to shoulder with the white man.
There is vast difference between
social equality and civil rights-I
want civil rights.
"The colored man is tired of be-
ing used by men to obtain Office
and of being left on the outside of
the temple of liberty. The colored
man must do his part. He must
not be suspicious and withhold his
confidence from white brothers as
many of them are worthy of it.
The colored man should empha.
size the social purity of the race.

Cured October 2Sth at the home

fairyland. The parlor was a
scheme in red roses. From the
ceiling hung canopy of roses, ov

rested the dove of peace. Prompt
ly at 8 O'Clock the beautiful strains
of Mendelsshons Wedding march
sounded through the house. The
bride elegantly attlred decended
the stairs leaning on the arm of
her father and accompanied by her
maid of honor, Miss Newman. In
the reception hall the groom and
his best man Mr.. Spencer Smithea
accompanied by Mrs. Newman,
joined the bride, from thence they
proceeded to the alter. The Rev.
Forsyth conducted the ring cere-
monies. The bride was attired in
an elegant gown of white French
Yelling and carried shower bo-
quet of bridal roses. The maid
of honor in white net de rprit over
white silk and carried handsome
boquet of white crrnations.
Supper was served in the back
parlor and the dining room, the
table decorations being pink and
white. Mr. and Mrs. Smithea will

Washington, Nov. 2.-The su-
preme court of the United States
todaystixed Dec. 7, as the date for
hearing argument in the case CT
the former Negro soldier, Oscar
Reid, who was dismissed without
honor owing to his alleged partic-
ipation in the Brownsville affair.
The suit is for pay during the time
of his enlistment. The verdict of
the circuit court of southern New
York was against him.
The Colorado statesman., 1908-11-14

Now, that one OF the most Stren-
uous campaigns in the history of
the country is closed, the nation is
turning again to business. The sue
cess of the Republican ticket in the
natsn has had most beneficient in
ffuence on business. From all parts
of the country comes notices of re-
viving business. Large orders are
Being placed with our manufactur-
ers, greater numbers of men are be-
ing employed each day, and the
hours of employment are being in
creased. This indicates a strong
confidence in future action of the
Republican party.
The success of the Democratic
party in Coloraro will not interfere
with continued commercial develop
ment of the state The upward i'm
pulse given business by the outgo-
ing Republican administration, will
be caught up by the incoming
party, and Colorado will enjoy con-
tinued prosperity. 1t is rank folly
to assume that the men who will as
sumo control of the destinies of the
state in January are enemies Of
progress. They are all largely in
terested in the financial and mater
ial interests of the state Our grow
ing agricultural interest and the
immense mining interest will be
protected in their present prosper
ity and encouragement will be lent
to fguture increase of business.
What ALL the people of Colorado
must do is to talk prosperity. And,
not only talk prosperity, but get
busy-work. There is much work
to do. The increased sugar beet in
terest needs more workers. Just
think one little section of the state
will receive over $2,000,000.00 for

Washington has colored man
who changes hue so often that the
doctors at the Emergency Hospi-
tai, where he is confined by ser
ious illness, have dubbed him "a
psychological phenomenon" and
n human chameleon" Luther
johnson is the mans name. Not
long ago his heart was sewed up
DR.. Charles S. White, in an effort
to save the patients life, after a
wound that threatened to be fatal.

ious condition and the doctors are
not sure whether he will live or
not. His case has set the medi-
cal profession by the ears.
