Gypsy SMITHS WORK.

The Colorado Statesman has
been particularly pleased in view
ing the Wonderful work of the
great evangelist, Gypsy Smith For
fifteen days this truly remarkable
man has labored III Denver. He
has spoken twice day to large and
appreciative audiences. In the ag-
gregate he has spoken to more than
two hundred thousand people and
leaves the phenomenal record OF
seven thousand conversions. 1t
was a wonderful meeting and the
results for Denver will be felt for
wears to come. At no time in the
great meeting was there the least
evidence of race prejudice. In the
great choir of IA thousand voices
they sang and helped thereby, to
win souls to Christ. There is still
much work to do i'll Denver. The
churches all seem to have put forth
unusual efforts during the past
winter and are preparing for re
newed work during the summer.
The work of the church will be
greatly aided by the establishment
of a Young Men S Christian Asso-
citation among our people. Active
work along this line has been on

BUSINESS OPENINGS.

There is much complaining these
days about business openings OF
course business opening means
work to do. as well as doing a COM
mercial or agricultural business.
Colorado has many business open
ingS lust now Out in the country
many acres of splendid farming
lands are being reclaimed and can
be purchased at prices to suit. In
the cities and towns business ap-
portunities will open up. Our men
and women are making money and
now is the time to save Here in
Denver are a splendid array of
saving banks and safe deposit com
panies ready to care for your saw
ings and pay you a reasonable sum
for so doing. Do not spend your
time complaining because you can t
have all the accommodations ac-
corded other people, but just put
that money away and have "A big
surprise when you come to look at
youm bank account years hence
Plenty of money in the Denver
banks will do heap towards get
ting better accommodations Just
keep working and saving and all
will end well.

TARIFF REFORM.

As if to emphasize the cardinal
purposes of the administration to
carry out the expressed will of the
people, in its overwhelming en-
dorsement of the Republican plat
form, President Taft has set the
machinery of government in mo-
-tion and tariff revision is now I'M
derway. 1t may not mean so much
to the Negro manufacturers and
business men, just what articles
shall 90 on the free list and the
ones to enjoy a higher bit of pro
tective fence. But the great mass
of our people are laboring people
and are among the first to be af-
fected by discharge, when the cry
of hard times is heard in the land,
and generally the last to feel the
beneficent effects of renewed pros
perity Real prosperity is not
looked for until Congress com
pletes its work on the revision OF
the tariff. The entire country
joins President Taft in his urgent
appeal to Congress to rush this
work. With the national Congress
honestly striving to do its whole
duty, and with spring opening ali
over the land promising a season
of seed time and harvest, the Sc
verify of the past winter will soon
be forgotten in renewed hum of in
dustry.

The Masonic lodges of the Dis
trict of Columbia have been fa-
nous for their personnel and high
state of efficiency. There has al
so beer at all times keen rivalry
of a friendly character for leader
ship among them. Any man hon
ored with the position of Grand
Master mvy well feel that it was
an honor indeed. A few evenings
ago the election for position of
Grand Master was held. AT this
election Prince Hall Grand Lodge
was successful in the contest. DR..
Ell. A. Warfield, Surgeon in Chief
of Freedman's Hospital was ele-
waited to the Grand Mastership.
On Monday evening banquet
was rendered DIR. Warfield, which
was well attended and a most en-
joyable affair. DR.. Henry Free
man acted as toast master and a
number of toasts were responded
to. Among those who made
speeches were Hon. W. T. Vernon,
Judge Robert Terrell and Mr..
William McCary. 1t is hoped
that the lodge will continue its
progress of efficiency and useful
ness under the administration of
DR.. Warfield.

REPUBLICAN PATRONAGE.

This is Republican paper. For
nearly twenty years we have con
sistently supported the party when
many others have gone off after
false gods. For this we are not eN-
pecting any great praise or consld-
Grafton But we expect the party
to share with our people, always
consistent workers, some of the re
suits of party success. We do not
expect great things when the gen
eral results are small Only give to
the Negro, a share i'll the results.
Last fall in the general election the
party succeeded in winning three
officers. The colored Republicans
helped to win. They voted and
worked and made it possible for
the party to have this much. 1t
seems, however, that the party
leaders have forgotten that there
are Negro Republicans in Denver.
Not "a single Negro has been ap-
pointed. Some recognition should
be given to the various elements in
the party, according to the measure
of party success. Is the Negro
losing out in Denver politics or
does ONE MEASLEY place mean
ALL that coming to the Negro ?
Just think it over.

frder of Deeds for the District of

ing to number of his friends
whom he chanced to meet on
Fourteenth street last Thursday
evening. The above statement
was in answer to some iuquirers
from some of the gentlemen in the
party who seemed anxious about
rumors concerning Mr., Dancy's
retirement from office. The Re-
corder displayed every element of
emphasis as his we'll pitched and
clarion voice gave expression to
the statement credited to him in
this connection Continuing, with
the same voice, trifie more than
two octaves higher than in previ-
Gus speech Mr.. Dancy said :-"but

being more deserving than myself
will have to prove to me that ne is
more so and more entitled to my
position than /. Mere assertions
that he is more deserving than
myself will not do "If," said Mr..

cheney, one is found who is more
worthy of my place than 1, will,

President Taft had conference
with his Secretary of War "A few
days ago relative to the organiza-
ton of the Army Court which is
to take up the cases of the dis
charged soldiers in the Browns
vile affair. 1t appears that the
bill creating the Court provides no
appropriation for its expenses, and
while its membership is to be CON-
posed of retired army officers,
there will nevertheless be disburs-
ments to be made. To meet this
difficulty, the President has decid-
ed to ask Congress for an appro-
priation. 1t is confidently hoped
+ that the organization of the Army
Court will be perfected in the near
future and the discharged soldiers
brought before it and given a
chance to ''prove their innocence"
and be restored to the army.
