Denver,-The Seventeenth General
Assembly met in extra session Tues

demanding tie redemption of platform
pledges to a Joint session of the House
and Senate.
The Democratic senators held a sep
crate caucus, The platform Democrats
entered the caucus and felt encouraged
by the first conference.
A committee was appointed by the
caucus to prepare a pledge to be
signed by each member of the caucus,
IT will bind each senator to abide by a
majority vote on all platform meas
uTes.
The Senate adopted a resolution in
troduced by Tully Scott expressing pro
found sorrow at the news of the shoot
ing of Mayor Gaynor.

Gus to pas upon all the House bills. The

Emancipation day was celebra'
ted by the colored people in this
city, August 4, under the auspices
of the Mt. Olive Baptist church.
One of the principle features of
the day was barbecued meats
served with a fine dinner at 215 w.
Central Ave. In the evening Geo.
w. Klock, the able District Attor-
ney addressed the large crowd, it
was one of the best orations that

Rev. L. r. Wilkins, John Collins
and FL. Bramlett, the managers of
the successful celebration are TO
be commended for their under
taking.
The Colorado statesman., 1910-08-13

For many years ye correspon-
dent has sent out from this point
much printed matter urging Ne
groes to come into our midst while
land was cheap. Opportunities
were good for our young men and
women, while under territorial
form of government, then our
country was only scattered with a
few white people who only lived
mostly in the large cities. The
majority of the inhabitants were
friendly Mexican people, that wei
coined the colored people in their
communities and treated them
kindly, then much good govern
ment land could be settled upon at
two dollars per acre, and now very
little of this land is left, and the
question that confronts the Negro,
have we waited too late? New
Mexico will soon be state and
the rush of white people into the
New State will make it difficult
for the Negroes who follow them.
The Colorado statesman., 1910-08-13

The movement to erect n monu-
ment in honor of John Brown has
struck the colored organizations of
our city with quite an agreeable
force. Nearly every colored insti-
tuition has contributed literally to
this worthy cause.

The House..

At - O'Clock Tuesday Speaker Lu-
Jacob RAIDER invoked divine guidance
in the deliberations of the body. The
House did not caucus or confer, wait
ing for the Senate to settle the ques-
the solons of the upper body toiled dur
ing the afternoon the representatives
deserted the Capitol building in body
and went to the ball game.
The momentary excitement over the
speakership question came after the
Joint session at which Governor John
=. Shafroth read his message. Repre-
sentative Hicks offered a motion max
ng the rules of the Seventeenth Gen
eral Assembly those of the extra ses-
sion. Representative S. S. Bellesfield
Of Pueblo Immediately moved, as an
amendment, that Section 5, Rule 2, be
changed so as to allow the speaker to
appoint all committees except the con-
ference committees.
"I make this motion, not to insult
the speaker by challenging his fair
ness" said Bellesfield, but it is the
rule in all legislative bodies, including
the national Congress, that where the
majority body of the House desires a
certain bill and conference commit
ice is appointed to confer with the
Senate, then the House majority shall
have the right of having all the mem
bers of the conference committee.
They must appear before the Senate
committee and argue the merits of the
bill which the House has passed. |
believe that only friends of the pri'
mary bill and other measures, as
passed by the House, should confer
with the Senate committees"
Friends of Speaker Lubers did not
lgree with this view. Although Repre-
sentative Hicks accepted the amend
nent, Representatives Celestina Gar
cia, 7. NJ. Howell, M. H. McCaskill,
Harvey e. Garman, ]. NJ. Wardlaw and
others objected
They tried to get two-thirds vote
IN the amendment, as change to the
majority was sufficient to adopt.

The Senate organized without loss of
time. On motion of Senator Carringer,

Little Rock, May 14.-State Land Commissioner l.. l.. Coffman has re- ceived from one of the largest sheep ranchers of Oregon, a letter asking him regarding to large tracts of land in Arkansas for sheep rangers. The r.Echer says mountain land is satis- factory if it can be secured in large enough tracts and cheap enough.
 Commissioner Coffman has written back saying there is great deal of fine land for sheep growing in Arkan- sas, and giving the prices at which it can be secured, also inviting the rancher, who says his attention was called to Arkapsas through the Land Congress publicity, to make the state a visit

 Arizona is a wonderful territory. She deserves statehood separate, and ] believe she will receive it. Their educational facilitis, public and par ochhial cannot be surpassed in any state. Their many hospitals and sanitariums cannot be surpassed
 l heir climate is the greatest in the . world. and for the cure of tuberculosis is not surpassed by any city or place ! on earth, save and except one, .and , that is not in this country. The peo- He of Arizona one and all are open hearted, generous and kind, and are among the most hospitable people it has ever been my pleasure to meet or read about-and this is especially true towards the stranger who may rest awhile in Arizona.
 NO mistake will be made when the bright star that shall stand for Arizo- ma is placed to rest upon the blue background of Old Glory. Her people deserve that it be placed there, for they are progressive, industrious, and hospitable. They are ready for state hood and Uncle Sam ought to be ready for Arizona.
 TO the Knights of Columbus of Arizona I wish them all they deserve To the Elks with whom it was my pleasure to be associated, I wish them all they contemplate doing in this great territory, and to the people of Arizona I can only say that nothing is too good for them. To Hon. Robert E. Morrison of Presctt, and M. E.. Cassidy and Frank E. Coles, I shyall always be indebted for their many kindnesses and the greatest trip I ev- CT expect to have in my life.
