THREE TO ONE.

I Not because we wish to make od-
ious comparison, but to prevent mis-
| understandings that arise when we
keep silent, The Statesman wishes to
give its rates for advertising enter
tainments and the reason for them.
BY the line, inserted in the local
news, advertising costs cents. We
have made feature OF entertainment
advertisements, which are double
column wide and six inches deep, and
for these a uniform charge Is made
of $3.50 the first week and $500 for
each week thereafter. These adver-
tisements and all that are larger are
given the best position in the paper,
while smaller advertisements used
for the same purpose, costing less in
proportion, are given such other posi-
tions as remain when these have
been placed. Therefore the six-inch
double advertisement has been very
profitable for entertainment givers
and is almost universally used.
1t is inevitable that some persons
will think this rate high and will
draw that conclusion from rates CIV
en- by other papers. We have no de-
sire to injure our competition, but in
justification of our own rates, which
have been unchanged for the last six
years, The Statesman offers to any
| and all persons interested the oppor-
tunity to Investigate its Denver cir
| citation. Come any Friday at
o'clock and see for yourself that we
| are delivering the papers we claim.
We have made our rate as low as we
can and live. Papers sending two
and three hundred and claiming two
| and three thousand undoubtedly can
make rates with which we cannot
compete. But just as the larger
amount costs the most, SO the most
circulation brings the larger result
and is worth the most. The States
man offers its circulation at any time
in proof Of its claim that it has three
LINES the circulation of any colored
paper in Denver.
| We hope this explanation of rates
and conditions will set at rest the
Interpretations that have been
used to confuse the public.

WELCOME TO THE UNITED
BROTHERS.

The Order of United Brothers is the
product of entirely Negro brain. The
Grand Lodge which has jurisdiction
in Colorado has made of its opportun'
ity such a success that the members
here may well be proud of the
achievements, as well as of the origin
of the society. When it convenes in
this city next Wednesday, its repre-.
sentatives will be men and women OF
such standing in their communities
that their activities will be of interest
to all the state. The Statesman bids
them welcome to Denver and hopes
that they will have most profitable
session.

pENvER,s GREAT OPPORTUNITY.

The coming of the Negro National
Education Congress will be great
opportunity for Denver. This is the
first great gathering of Negroes which
it has been our privilege to entertain
While our city has an enviable repu-
tation for hospitality for individuals,
yet what it can do to entertain a great
convention is not known. So 1t is
that in the most literal sense Denver
is on trial
Then, too, this convention will
bring to the city men and women who
are representative of their commun-
tiles and the good impression they
gather here will be passed on to their
neighbors so that not merely for those
whom we entertain, but for all the ma
ton, we stand to win or lose.
All this would be true if there was
no possibility of Colorado and Denver
becoming the adopted home of the
delegates and their friends. But it
happens that Colorado offers excep-
tional opportunity for the home seek
er. Our best foot forward, our best
treatment of our guests means not
only that perfect courtesy which we
should show them, but also the strong
est invitation to come and cast their
lot with us. Colorado's fertile plains
and valleys can support a hundred
thousand Negroes to their advantage
and to the upbuilding of the state. 1t
is up to Denver to plant the seed OF
removal here in their minds.
With SO much that is possible for
us to accomplish, we believe it re-
quires no argument to convince every
citizen that he will have to take part
in the entertainment of the Congress.
Our experience in entertaining such
a great body is limited. Therefore it
will require the more energy and unit
ed action to overcome the mistakes
which will doubtless be made. This
is no time for halting support nor for
procrastination. Where one worker
drops thread that will spoil the COM
pleted article, another must pick it
up. st. Louis, Louisville, Kansas
City and many other such cities know
how to entertain great Negro gather
ings. Denver does not, and must
make its entry into the circle of the
elect with as much grace and finish
as possible.
Let all persons who have been
asked to serve on committees work
as though on their efforts alone sue
cess depended. And let all others
support them as Moses was.
