BUSINESS LEAGUE WORK.

Just now Denver business men
must rise up and get in line with
the hustling business men in all
parts of the country. A well-de-
fined movement is on foot all over
the country to increase the num-
ber of Negro employers. Good re-
suits can only be accomplished
through a combined effort on the
part of our business men and the
masses of our people. They must
learn that their relations are recip-
rocal. That to increase the num-
Der of openings for our boys and
girls as they come from the schools,
the colored business men must
have a large share of the business
of OUR people. In this it is very
different from Southern and East
ern cities, where many OF our race
are absorbed in public schools and
other lines of work given over eX-
clusively to colored people. An eff
fort must be made here to increase
the number of openings for
our young people when they leave
the schools. Many of our young
girls now find congenial and renu'
merative employment as stock-keep-
ers in our stores and other places.
But work for all is not assured.
To the business men who employ
colored help about their places OF
business or advertise in race pa
pers. assurance should be given of
our appreciation, by increasing
their trade in every possible way.
By so doing we will soon be able
to show a large increase in the
number of colored employees in
Denver, and as this increases, the
number of successful business men
will grow. That s what we need.

PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS.

Along with the demand for in
creased employment for our young
people we cannot overlook the
movement on foot to beautify our
city.
The business men and women
should get busy and secure some of
the city work for our colored work
men. We need more than a single
city employe. The Tramway Com
pany, the Water Company and all
public service corporations are in
terested in building up Denver.
We must convince them that we
are American citizens and entitled
to a portion of the work on the
streets, etc. With plenty of work
we can increase the number OF
Negro homes in Denver.

MAJOR LYNCH RETAINED

Washington, d. c., Nov. 23.-
Major John r. Lynch, now station
ed at San Francisco as paymaster
in the U. S. A, has been notified
that he will be continued on the
active list until the time of enforc-
ed retirement, which is at the age of
sixty four years, and further, that
he will not be required to take the
riding or walking test in the fu-
ture. This gives Major Lynch
nearly two years more to serve on
the active list. There was a small
coterie of insignificant barkers
here in Washington who would
have been delighted had the Presi-
dent retired the Major. Now that
it is known that he is to continue
on the active list, and as to that
there had not existed any doubts,
they will feel mighty depressed,
and especially will a clerk in the
War Department, who has been
writing a lot of rubbish about Maj.
Lynch's retirement.

of men. 1t is passing strange that
almost all lynchings are followed
by great catastrophes involving the
loss of many lives among the
whites.
1t is not the purpose of this
great family paper to point out
the unpleasant side of residing on
this mundane sphere; but there
are times when conditions are so
very bad that the voice of all car
ries a plant to the Throne. The
recent lynching in Illinois was es-
pecially bloodthirsty. During the
last few years disgraces of this
kind have increased with alarming
frequency. There is not good
citizen in the state, black or white,
who condones the awful offense of
the culprit. No Negro would ask
for an evasion or the law Tor d
guilty member of his race. But he
would ask that the law be respect
ed. We are proud of the stand
taken by Governor Deneen and
other state officials in their efforts
to suppress such lawless outbreaks.
n
The results will be watched by all.
The ministers of Cairo unite in de-
claring that the present conditions
are due to the corrupt political
conditions existing in their town.
Lynch law is bad from any view
point. Let the good people OF IL
linois join hands to suppress all
kinds of lawlessness.

AGAIN IN LIMEllGHT.

Two events, awful in their ma
ture, have occurred recently to
bring the State of Illinois promi-
nently before the public eye. One
lynching, a perversion of consti-
tuted authority, so diabolical and
cruel in its exhibition of the work
ing of savage humanity that the
entire country stands in amazed
horror! The other a mining ex-
plosion, cataclysm, in which hun
dreds of human beings were hurled
into eternity without warning.
God rules in the affairs of men.
The second event was the compen-
sating hand of God in the affairs

of gigantic struggle for civic
greatness. The advent of the re-
formers and their active opposition
to greater Denver marks a
strange epoch in the forward his
tory of the fastest growing city in
the West. 1t is to be to the ever
lasting credit of our people that
they have thus far refused to be
allied with obstructionists. So far
as within the power of our people
they are ready and willing to con-
tribute their share for bigger and
better city. The past few years has
seen many homes bought by our
people. During the year just
closing over five hundred homes
have been purchased by our people.
Then, too, many thousands of dol
lars have been expended in max
ing needed improvements. A peo-
pie who are becoming home buyers
are laying the foundation of civic
Righteousness and pride. The
homes of the Negroes of Denver
compare favorably with those of
other classes of citizens. They are
interested in a civic center, that
will beautify the town, at a mini
mum cost. They are interested In
municipal ownership OF public
utilities, that all citizens may re-
ceive the best service at the least
cost. While this is true, they do
not believe in confiscation. Their
years of unrequited toll has taught
them the value of justice in dealing
with fellow men.
Do not count the Negro as a foe
to civic improvement. Give him
plenty of work and he will make a
good citizen.

FIGHTING THE WHITE PLAGUE.


Perhaps very few of our people
4 visited the rather gruesome display
i of tuberculosis down on Arapahoe
street last week. This oversight
was no doubt due to lack OF IN
terest in the purpose sought to be
served. "Fighting the white
plague" is engaging the best en-
ergy and causing the expenditure
of many million dollars all over this
country. With over two million
cases reported by the last census,
the checking of the spread OF this
dread disease at once assumed ma
tional Importance. For years the
West, and especially Colorado, has
been the Mecca of the afflicted.
Millions of sufferers from this
dreadful disease have found ref
uge in this state and many have
been restored to health. But con-
ditions are changing rapidly
throughout the state, and proVls-
ion must be made for the care OF
the tubercular tourist The Colo
RADIO Statesman makes this appeal
to our people that they may be
reused to a sense of their duty.
Our people must do their
share towards the great work
of checking the spread OF tu-
berculosis. The presence OF tuber-
culosis among Negroes to much
greater extent than previous to
emancipation has caused our people
to be regarded as an extra hazard
Gus risk by all first class insurance
companies. and leaves the Negro a
prev to the so-called industrial and
wildcat concerns which rob them
through excessive premiums. Our
people in Denver and throughout
the West can do much to eradicate
ignorance of conditions here by
taking pains to find out such condl-
tions as will best benefit the SICK
person. We must organize to care
for the sick and helpless. The
greatest enemies of the white
plague is plenty of pure air. Keep
YOUR homes well ventilated. Plenty
of good warm clothing and that
clean. Plenty of good, wholesome
food, and the cleanliness that Is
next to Goodness. The interest be-
ing manifested by the medical pro-
fession as well as the lalty give
promise of future success.

Pollen Travels Far.

The pollen from pine forests often
forms yellow coating on lakes or on
the ocean, as far as 200 miles from the
shore, and has been mistaken by peas
ants for showers of sulphur. The pol

with yellow vesicles, which buoy them
up in the air very much on the princi-

Pensacola, Fla, Nov. 26.-John
G. Calhoun, colored, aged lis years
is dead. The death certificate, as
sworn to and filed in the Office of
the city clerk yesterday, gives the
date of the Negroes birth as 1894.
Calhoun, bearing the name of the
famous American statesman, lived
in Pensacola for 40 years, and un-
til less than IA years ago made
his living by daily lador i'll saw
mill. In reminiscent moods the
old Negro, who had friends among
both white people and persons of
his own race, would tell of incl
dents in the life of his former
master, Calhoun, and refer to the
great statesman with as great ia
miliarity as to his grandchildren.
The Negro was born in slavery, he
claimed. All his assertions, it is
said, were well supported by his-
torical facts.

New Discovery Has RevoIutionized

Nothing in the history of medicine
has ever approached the success OF the
marvellous skin remedy known as pos
lam. which, it is safe to say, has cured
more cases of eczema and skin dis
eases than any remedy ever offered
for these ills.
The success of poslam Is not at all
surprising when it is considered that
even very small quantity applied to
the skin stops itching Immediately
and cures chronic cases in two weeks.
The very worst cases of eczema, as
well as acne, herpes, letter, piles,
salt rheum, rash, crusted humors,
Iscaly scalp and every form of itch,
yield to it readily Blemisnes such as
pimples, red noses, muddy and inflam-
