COMMISSIONER PITCHER
Appoints colored Man in His office

Appoints CoIored Man in His Office.
The first colored appointment made
to date by any of the new commits
sioners was on Monday, when the
Hon. Clair ]. Pitcher, commissioner
of finance, appointed Captain Thos.
Campbell to position in his office.
Mr.. Pitcher was the first assessor
who ever appointed a Negro deputy
assessor in Denver, when he made
Capt. Campbell a deputy assessor,
and the colored citizens rallied to his
support in appreciation of the recog-
milton. Capt. Campbell is well known
to all and will make good in his new
position, as usual. We congratulate
Mr.. Pitcher on his appointment OF
Capt. Campbell and hope that the rest
of the commissioners will do likewise
and not wait until their term of office
has almost expired and another cleo
tion is on.

o O.BANNION-WAL WEDDING.

By far the most brilliant wedding
ever held in Denver was that OF Mr.
Ned O'Bannion and Miss Irene Walk
er, last Saturday evening. Many OF
Denver's we'll known citizens turned
out to witness the ceremony and al
though the sudden and serious illness
of the groom held the guests in sus-
pense for some time, but finally the
italian harpist, Devirio, began to play
the strains OF Lohengrin's wedding
march, and from then on all went
well. The bride, dressed in gown
of white satin and all that goes to
make the perfect costume for such an
occasion, was attended by Misses
Edith Baker, Nellie Eubanks, Marguir-
ite Graves and the brides sister,
Grace.
Mr.. John Moss acted as best man.
Rev. Henry Brown of the Episcopal
church officiated.

NOTES OF THE ZION BAPTIST
CHURCH,.

The visit of Dr. Mcdonald of st.
Paul, secretary of the National Bap-
tist Convention, was a very great
blessing to our congregation. His SER
mon Sunday morning was a delight
and joy; the congregation was re-
freshed by a baptism of tears. Five
persons were added to the church.
The stereopticon service Sunday
evening was a delightful success. The
subject was Joseph and his Breth-
rem" A splendid audience was in at
tendance and greatly enjoyed the lee
ture The subject for this Sunday
evening is "the Parable of the Great
Supper" The popular songs, Jesus
Lover of My Soul and Safe in the
Arms of Jesus" will be illustrated by
stereopticon views. Everyone is well
come.
The Mems Bible Glass together with
Mrs. Over arranged very enjoyable
birthday surprise party for the pas
tor at the close of the lesson last
Tuesday evening The pastor more
than appreciates such courtesies and
is under weight of responsibility for
such kindly response of his friends.
The Baptist state meeting will con-
vene at Colorado Springs next We'd
nesday, where number of Zion
workers will be in attendance.
The Mems Bible class is preparing
special programe to close the sea-
sons work on the first day of July.
Fuller announcements will be pub
lished later and it is hoped that all
the men of the community will en-
deavor to be present.

Siege Of Crete.

Crete deserves mention of our list of
memorable sieges. for in Cretan his
tory we find the longest siege on rec
ord, besides which Troy's ten years
seem but a skirmish. In 164S the Turks,
attempting to conquer the island, laid
siege to the capital city of Gambia,
which. however, did not surrender un-
til September, 1869, after 21 years.
Again in 1921. when the Cretans re-
volted, the defeated Turks were able
to hold the fortified cities against all
attacks, and many Of them were still
uncaptured when the powers inter
vened nine years later
The Colorado statesman., 1913-06-14

Webster and Langston presided at
the refreshment table, and were as
sisted by the bridesmaids.
There were many costly presents to
attest the popularity of this young
couple. Several members of the
Bon Vivants club gave silver
service, and presents from other
sources showed equally as good taste.
The bride is not only pretty, but
clever and talented and a favorite in
the social circles of Denver and
Omaha.
That their voyage on the matrimo-
nial' sea may be happy and peaceful
is the sincere desire of their many
friends.

rate is light.

rate is light.
Suppose, however, that the con-
templated improvements, notwith-
standing this increased tax rate,
should attract many people here
with view to securing or build
ing homes, would they pay the
prices asked for lots9 AS an in
stance, we know a lot that is real
ly worth only 100000, but is held
for $685.
The HERALD is not opposed to
towns or individuals going in debt.
The paper itself is even now going
in debt for improvements, but it
was careful to limit the debt to
an amount which it can easily pay
off in six or seven years. That illus
trates the papers idea of the
towns assuming q. bonded debt.
Let it be reasonable in amount and
one that can be easily handled.
Another thing: we may be able
to get a water and sewerage system
for less than $50, 100000; but, if we
vote that amount, every contract
or bidding on the improvements
will try to get that entire sum and
the bond trustees will. feel that,
that amount having been voted,
they should spend all of it. Let
the law and the ordinance be that
only so much as needed shall be
expended and any balance shall be
applied to paying off the bonds
forthwith. At the same time,
elect as bond trustees men whom
you know to be honest and cap
able.
If these things are done, The
HERALD will not be greately fright
ened by q municipal bond issue of
$40, 100000 or $50, 100000.
Now, let every man think for
himself and not quarrel with his
neighbor for disagreeing with
him. Whatever debt the taxpay-
e-s vote, The HERALD will help
to pay and will not scold the vot-
ers for their action.

That Courthouse Graft

Even before it had been definite
ly decided to build a new court
house at Arcadia, there was some
people who believed that the prop
osition carried with it a graft by
some of its supporters. And
when the contract was let and the
cost ran up from $75,o00.0o to
$40, 100000, the same people were
confirmed in their belief that the
taxpayers had been robbed of a
considerable sum of money, pos
sibly $4O,OOO.O0 or more. For
many people believe that the pres
emit courthouse with all its fur
nishings and equipment could have
been obtained for $100,000.00 or
less. Some think that $S0,000.00
would have been a fair price for
the whole thing.
Now, was there graft in it!
Were the taxpayers robbed of
thousands of dollars! Are we to
accredit the virtual confusion of
one of the builders of the court
house,
Hill 2. Read, formerly of the
Read Parker Construction Com
pany, has fled TO Canada for the
purpose, as he himself says, of
avoiding being summoned before
the DeSoto county grand jury to
give evidence against those whom
he intimates perpetrated t b 9
robbery of the county.
What this man Read says on the
subject was published in the Tam
pa papers last week and has doubt
less been read by hundreds of peo-
pie of DeSoto. But that all HER
AID readers may know what he
says, we reprint from the Tampa
Times of the 10th:
That Hill p. Read has informa-
ton which would create sensa-
ton in DeSoto county and might
result in grand jury indictments,
is an opinion freely expressed by
those who know the contractor,
and who connect his departure
from town with the building of
the DeSoto county court house at
Arcadia.
