POLITICAL STENCIL.

We are no little disgusted with the
assurance with which certain Office
holders are attempting to play the
game of politics among certain col
ored people. We refer to white offic-
ials, and some of them Republicans.
While we are entitled to an opinion
concerning the acts of any public Of
fetal, we recognize that it is impos-
sible that his motives may be good
even when we disagree with him. But
when there is not even a shadow of
ground for the belief that it is the
morals of the community which such
an official is attempting to benefit, and
it is correspondingly clear that he is
playing politics through the medium
of his Office, to our mind it is due the
colored supporters of his party, wheth-
er the official be Republican or Demo
crat, that they be consulted as to the
effect of his moves.
There is entirely too much of stool
pigeon politics in Denver 1t is a
stencil in the nostrils of decent peo-
pie. Possibly those in authority can
be arbitrary because they are now in
power, but the masses of the people,
Republican and Democrat, will say at
the next election whether they like
the methods or not.

LETTER TO DEAR OLD DENVER
PEOPLE.
Chicago, May 10th.

Chicago, May 10th.
Dear Sir, Mr.. Pryor: You will
please oblige me by putting these few
words in print before your people in
your city. Just tell this much: that
they are living in one of the greatest
cities in the world, and that seeming
ly they all appear to be doing much
good for themselves in a way. And in
another way they all appear to be
more dead than alive. Now Pryor,
you have something like $4,000 ne.
groes in your city. all first class peo-
pie. And me. having been a visitor
to your city and also having been a
close observer, l would like to know
what you people do for amusements
Where do you go and what have you
got to go to, outside of the churches
And those dances at East Turner hall
l tell you, / think you people all need
huge waking up. And maybe then
you will be able to see where you are
living in the twentieth century and
not in the days of bondage. If you
people out there had a few more
places of what call pleasure resorts
and 80 on, l am sure 1t would be the
means of thousands more negroes
coming to your city, and then you
know that would certainly make bust
ness opportunities for great many
men and women who are not in bust
ness at present. Get something to
attract the people and you will have
no trouble in getting people there
from all over the country. Now, Old
man, don't pretend to be a lecturer
but l feel that l might be some in
spiration to you and your people.
Hoping that ! haven't bored you,
remain,
C.. C. HARRIS,
