The Water company is not asking
for a new franchise, they only ask
the city to buy the water plant, to
vote for the amendment to allow them
to do business until such time when
the city is ready to take the plant off
their hands. Is not that fair? Sup
pose the people vote down the plan to
buy the water plant and tell the Wa
ter company, in spirit of revenge, to
get out of the streets, what will you
do for water? If you vote to build a
new plant where will you get the wa
ter and what kind? These are things
to be considered when you go to vote
on Tuesday.

Prof J. A. Henry, principal of the
Howard High school of Chattanooga.
Tenn. and one of the most widely
known educators and fraternal men
in the South, was stricken with apo
plexy last Monday in the school room
and died in few minutes before he
could receive medical attention.
Prof. Henry had been connected
with the Chattanooga publch school
for thirty-one years. He has been
grand master of Masons of Ten
nessee since 1900 and his knowledge
of Masonry and men was unexcelled.
Fraternal, religious and social circles
will miss Prof Henry. The Colorado

How does it appeal to you, taxpayer,
when you are trying to pay for home,
to have to pay special tax, general
tax, civic center tax and then be lad
ened with the. awful tax of a new wa
ter plant, and the tax for buying water
rights? A few men, better known as
grafters, are trying to clean up few
million dollars, and get rich quick at
your expense by having you refuse to
vote to buy the water plant. Disap-
point the grafters, vote for the pur-
;hase of the present water plant, vote
or ALL amendments to the charter,
then watch Denver grow.

Even a plain business proposition,
such as the purchase of water plant,
is made the discussion of unlimited
amount of red ink, campaign of Bit
terness and hate. How long is the
economic interests of Denver to be the
cesspool, in which cheap and aspiring
political demogogues may continue to
wash their dirty political linen? Shall
Denver's taxpayers be forever ridden
by a handful of aeitators and self
seeking politicians? Vote them oown
and out of the saddle Tuesday.
The Colorado statesman., 1914-02-14

The extra taxes that would be laid
on every property owner to build
new plant, and to buy water rights,
and make new water connections with
your property would be more than
you can pay. lt,seems that such an
unreasonable proposition should not,
for moment, be entertained by any
property owner, for its not only expen-
sive but dangerous to traffic and dan
gerous to public health.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

The people of Colorado and the ma
ton at large, paid homage Thursday,
February 18th, to the memory of the
beloved martyred, President Abraham
Lincoln, who will always be reverved
by the Negro race as the Great Eman-
eipator. In outward form, Denver dis
charged it's obligation of respect and
gratitude with many public functions
and by the closing of banks and prl-
vate buildings. Prominent Republi-
cans gave a large banquet at Ell Jebel
temple, at which Senator A. B. Cum
minis delivered the principal address
on Lincoln.
The Colorado statesman., 1914-02-14

colored voters and property owners,
don't listen to the sophistry that to
build new water plant will put many
thousands of men to work. That don't
mean that idle coIored men, who pay
taxes to have the work done, will get
to do any of the public work, 1t means
that your taxes will go to put union
men to work and you will continue to
be idle, because you are colored men
and because the unions will not allow
you to work.
