Five years ago The Statesman an
nounced the beginning here in this
city of a class conducted by Madam
r. D. Perkins for the care of the scalp
and for the beautifying of the hair.
From time to time we have informed
our readers of the growth of her bus
mess. Now with the fifth year at
hand, she has just returned from a
six months tour of the East that was
more in the nature of triumphal
march than woman's business ven
ture. Being a Denverite, the city is
deeply interested in the success she
has won. Yet even it which has been
the scene of many years of her work
in various lines, had not expected
such a rapid growth nor such profic-
iency Where in the beginning she
herself with her own hands demon
strated her treatments and applied
her preparations, she now does a mail
order business exclusively, demon
strating only when she is making a
stop in a city by way of advertise
ment, and of making certain that h
goods are used as directed. That she
has so largely drawn upon the whole

THE DEATH OF MoFFAT.

The whole community mourns Dav-
id H. Moffat and especially those who
knew him personally. Among these
are several colored citizens. No
greater tribute to accomplishment
could be paid than the universal grief
No greater monument could be erect
ed than the sense of personal loss
that many feel now that he is gone.
He was ever known as true friend,
help in the time of storm for those
he esteemed. His work for Colorado
has been great. He. We'd with any
man in his endeavor for his home
state and his home city. Rich as he
was in this worlds goods, he was far
richer in the sum of accomplishment
which he made possible for others.
His life, even in his latter years, was

that he was good son. May his
good works bear fuller and fuller
fruition.

THE WASHINGTON INCIDENT.

The facts as related in the daily
press tend to the opinion that Booker
T. Washington is the victim of a mis-
understanding, largely due to the has
tiness of a pugnacious German. His
presence in the New York apartment
house hallway is easily accounted for
by his search for the Tuskegee 1nsti-
tute auditor, and his whole life is a
guarantee that he is the last man in
the world to turn "peeping Tom" Re-
grettable as the incident is, it has this
large grain of comfort that the time
of his need brought to Mr.. Washing
ton the strong support of such men
as Andrew Carnegie and Seth Low. 1t
is gratifying to know that colored
man has so conducted himself as to
win the honest friendship of such
men, In an equal measure is it graf
flying to see that the daily press has
not preached sermon on the utter
depravity of the Negro, taking its text
from the first reports of the matter.
There seems to be something of i'm
provement in the relations of the

business branches, missionary work,
millinery and allied branches. The
school is in dire need of larger quar-
ters, for it has 500 students that
would enroll as soon as accommoda-
tions permit. A most hopeful situa-
tion prevails in Washington, marked
especially by the elegant homes.
In Richmond the struggle of the
True Reformers to recover their for

John Mitchell Jr., editor and banker.
His bank is a model IN appearance,

colored press. She has contracts with
several eastern papers which will ex-
plot her goods for several months to

Washington, November 2S.-Pres- dent Taft's third annual message, which will go to Congress Tuesday will be devoted to the trust question The message contains from 5000 70 5000 words, and with the exception of few references in a general way 70 other related subjects will deal with the question of industrial combinations alone.
 Although details of the message were not made public 1t was understood to- night that federal interpretations, as outlined by MT. Taft two years ago, will be suggested again as method for so- lution of the problem.
 The President has indicated his aver sion to amendment of the sherman anti- trust act, and from his talks with cal lers the inference was drawn that there is no suggestion of such amend ment in the message.
 T have put all my eggs in one bas- ket," the President said.
 In sending an annual message to Congress devoted to one subject alone Mr. Taft is establishing a precedent. 1t is usual for chief executive to point out the needs of all sorts for new leg lislation and to give in concise form the history of past year. in so far as the government is concerned. This will be done away with in the present mes sage and subsequently, MT. Taft will send in special messages to Congress dealing with important subjects by themselves He expects to discuss the tariff in separate message to be writ ten a fer December 12,
 The tariff board, it was averred, viii not be able to make its report on the
