TOO MUCH AGITATION.

The people OF Denver suffer a bur
den of taxation far out of proportion
TO the benefit they receive because of
the ceaseless agitation of a set of pol
iticians who have neither conscience
nor sense. Now there are being cir
culated petitions for the commission
form of government. SO far as we
can see the only good that can come
out of this latest move is that il may
be short cut to peace. If it is, even
though we disagree with the idea, it
is worth while. a first-class public
spirit is absent from the whole crew
who foster these ideas. They pay no
taxes to speak of, they simply seek
office and believe that if they can
turn the town over often enough they
are bound to land at the pie counter
1t is clear that the city administration
is delaying the game now that it is
in, and its erstwhile friends who are
out, are the real pushers. Bad luck
to the whole gang is the sincere wish
of the overburdened taxpayer.
The wreck of plumbing caused by
the excessive cold disturbed many
housekeepers, several kitchen ranges
and tanks exploding.

to the South Carolina race conference
to be held in Columbia in connection
with the corn exposition from Ian. -

the purpose of discussing the various
problems affecting the welfare OF the
race in the state in particular and the
country ut large.
The literary progra will devote a
day to methods of work among chill
dren and one day to each of the fol.
lowing subjects and interests-viz. the
Humane society, education. business

the colored people throughout the

Miss Ada Banks, the soprano from

ence pleaser. 1t went off with snap
and was received with applause
which grew as the evening pro-
sressed. From an instrumental stand
point, the audience divided its praise
Tor the best performance between
Mr.. Morrison for his playing of "Ber-

sarian Dance" and the trombone duet
by Withers and Moore. These were
all of different kind and could not be
compared easily, except in that they
were audience pleasers. Miss Danks
made a marked impression in her
songs. The ovation she received was
great Yet Denver's own soloist. Miss
Jessie Andrews, was in good voice
her singing being sweet and tender
ana betraying the cultivation which
eads to general recognition as an
artist.
A little monologue by Mr.. Withers

At that celebration Emerson read his

here on Jan. L. 1913, by the Rev. Fran

While ii is important to look back to
the momentous historical epoch of the
civil war which resulted in emancipa
tion. says Edward d. Mead. it is no
less important for all of us. after this
lapse of half century, to ask our
selves soiemnly whether the great pur-
poses OF tue emancipation proclama-
ton and the civil war have been
worthily and adequately realized. No
man is fully emancipated when the
shackles are simply struck from his
ankles.
\ man is emancipated only when his
mind is freed by opportunity and train
ing and the fullness OF the measure OF
the stature of equal citizenship is pre-
pared and guaranteed for him. This Is

Years Work
at Zion Church
a Big Success

The work of one organization in
Denver has involved the activities of
so many persons and has involved
such sums of money that its success
is matter of city pride. Zion Bap-
tist church has grown so large in the
last few years that it is no longer to
be considered only for its religious
and moral influence upon the com
munity, but deserves a place in the
public eye as one of the big business
ventures as well.
Possibly its growth in numbers is
the most marked feature of its work
The membership is now reported to be
IA. the largest enrolment in its his
tory. The net increase for the year
was 141, a truly marvellous growth,
nearly half of whom came by baptism.
The rite of baptism was administered
each month in the year except two.
The finance of the church was equally
satisfactory.
Zion is raising its money for all pur-
poses on the free will offering for
each Sunday plan. with calendars and
envelopes for each Sunday as remind
ers of the pledge made at the begin
ming of the year. There are nearly
