Denver-During the last few years
Colorado has been the best advertised
spot in the world and this new sug-
geation seems to be one OF those
happy inspirations which will make
people talk about Denver and the
state in all parts Of the Union. But
many members OF the exchange ere
serious In their belief that the citizens
here should go after the national gov
ernment to secure q summer capitol
in Denver President Conway OF the
Denver Chamber OF Commerce turned
an editorial from the Chicago Journal
over to the secretary to be read upon
the subject at a recent meeting.
After discussing the presence of
Senator N. W. Aldrich. who is called
chief lobbyist for the tariff barons. ut
Beverly. the Presidents summer
home. the article advocates the estab-
lishment OF a summer capitol where
the regular business Of the govern
mcnt may be carried on II the trusts
iitcnd to force an all-the-year-around
federal activity. Colorado Is suggest
ed In glowing terms. and also the sug-
gestion that the eastern Legislators
may discover that u considerable por-
tioL Of the country lies west Of Penn
syly anis. The editorial concludes as
follows:
Colorado is the home of the great
eat boosters in the world. We are
surprised that they have not already
started In to secure federal summer
capitol. Once they grasp the possi-
bilities doubtless they will build and
equip the necessary halls and offices

he introduced before the Transmissis-
stppi Commercial Congress advocat-
ing Denver rs the capital OF the ma
ton because Of Its inaccessibility OF

transaction OF business all the year

He quoted from an editorial In the
Pittsburg Dispatch. which says: THE
proposal OF that Colorado man to have
the national capitol removed to Den

NEGROES SUSTAIN PRESIDENT
Delegation From Mississippi Promis-
es Cooperation in Taft's Policy
as Outlined in Address.

Washington, April Ia delegation
Of negroes from Mississippi, compris-
ing bankers, business. men, lawyers
and educators, called at the White
House today to tender to President
Taft whatever assistance they could
render in helping him to work out the
policies outlined by him in his inaug-
ural address. The visit had to do sole
y with the so-called negro problem
in the South.
In his address to the president the
chairman of the delegation said:
"Like you, we do not believe that
any satisfactory and lasting results
can be reached without the coopera-
ton of the representatives of the more
than 100000: negroes who are the
bone Of eontention; like you, we do
not believe that any satisfactory and
lasting results can be obtained with
out the approval and cooperation OF
the dominant race, the whites, in our
section, and any policy that makes
for peace between US, that means to
bring us more closely together so far
as the public is concerned and the
general uplift Of our section, and in
that uplifft the uplift Of the nation as
well, is much desired by us, and our
presence here is to assure you that
the negroes of Mississippi will do
their part in bringing about the de-
sired ends, and hope not to so conduct
ourselves at any time as to embarrass
your we'll begun administration"

It is estimated that this remaining
mileage will be completed within three
years, and then the longest railroad III
the world, covering in the aeighbor-
hood of 6,400 will be finished.
"What do I estimate the total cost
to be? Very close to f200,O00,O00, or
about 81 1,OO0,OOO,OoG, I should say, but
comparatively small amount when
it is considered what glorious thing
it will be for Africa, one Of the great

1t will be possible for the traveller to
journey from Berlin or Paris to CAPE

think of that! And then it will open
up a country that is rich in almost

attention of the whole music world

is doubtful if the trip would have
been arranged had it not been for the
efforts of Victor I. Clark, associate
conductor. Columbia is indeed for
tunate to be listed among the cities
booked for the spring tour.
Attractive features Of the festival
will be the mixed chorus Of over two
hundred voices, Mr.. Geo. S. Kittredge,
of the College for Women,y director;
and the children's chorus Of two hun
