You had not only to go to New York If
you wanted to borrow your money, but if
you wanted to get your own money some
times they couldn't spare II. In 1907 they
had invested in their watered stock; when
the water was squeezed out they couldn't

the important features of this bill that
we have passed? l will just take time
TO give you one. ana II Is the most
portant. The most important thing about
this bill is that it transfers the financial
center of the country from New York to
washington. 1t is only a short distance
a little over 200 miles. The difference is
so short that a lobbyist can take the
train in New York at midnight and be in
Washington long enough to bother both
Senators and members of the House be-
fore Congress convenes the next day
And yet 1t took over forty years to drag
the center of finance 200 miles.

These. my friends, are part of the
record of Woodrow Wilson and of the
back of him. Would you rebuke a man
who has made such a record as that?
No. you would not rebuke him, not if
you could take him off in some quiet
place and whisper his condemnation in
his ears, but you can not find quiet
place. There is no obscure place to
which you can take your President and
visit your condemnation on him If you

around they found some prominent Re

of reducing. they raised it all around that
they might have more to contribute to
the next campaign. That is why they
didn't reduce the tariff. But when the

Why would not the Republican party
give us an income tax? remember when
we secured the passage of the income tax
law twenty. years ago, we had the oppo-

didn't they give you an income tax? Be

might enjoy the privileges and favors

So. when the taxation crop was laid by,
President Wilson then took up the cur

question upon which the Republicans had
had every chance. Why didn't the Re-

You can go back eighteen years and you
will find the Republicans had had every

didn't dare to present, the only kind of
reform that they proposed.

THE J. w. JONES MASS MEETING
At Central Baptist Church, Sunday
Afternoon. Ministers Of
,City Help.

Sunday afternoon, not such large
crowd but an enthusiastic and symp-
athletic race-loyal gathering, assem-
bled at Central Baptist church and
there gave their hard earned dollars
for the purpose of saving life, not
in Belgium nor Germany, but right
here in Colorado. A vital principle is
at stake if ]. w. Jones was unjustly
convicted and sentenced to the gal
lows wrongly; every Negro's right of
liberty, freedom and justice is threat
ened 1t is Jones, the gambler, today
but it will be you, a taxpayer and cit
izen, tomorrow. Where prejudice and
race hate is stirred, injustice to a
class or race is but one step. All in
dications point to the fact that j. W.
Jones did not have fair trial Now
will the Colorado Negro sit idly by
and help or let this man hang? He is
a Negro. Will the Negro expect to
look after his own unfortunates or ex
pect the Anglo-Saxon to do it for him?
If the penalty is too severe for the
crime, let the Supreme court pass on
the facts. Two hundred dollars will
save his life. Who can put value
upon a human soul, especially if he
was within his rights?

DISTRICT ATTORNEY JOHN RUSH

Courts Time Is Taken to Play
Politics.

Judge Ben Stapleton ruled Tuesday
that C. l.. Jackson, a Negro owner OF
shoe-shining parlor in the Coronado
building, does not have to shine the
shoes of brother Negroes. He de-
clared that c. W. Buford, a Negro on
whose complaint Jackson was ar.
raigned in justice court for violation
of civil rights in refusing to shine
Buford's shoes, had no right to de-
mand that his shoes be shined in a
parlor conducted solely for white per
sons.
Deputy District Attorney Harry
Sales and his underdeputy, John
Fine, represented the state. Fine, af-
ter the case was completed, said:
We knew we were licked before
we started this argument l told Rush
it was coming up this morning, and
he asked me what about it. l told
him the law was the other way, and
he said to see Sales and go make a
talk SO as to please niggers."
Fine also asked that the reporters
place his name with that of Sales in
reviewing the case. The reporter has
done so.

When John A. Rush was private
citizen, and not an official, he spoke
time and time again to us in the Peo-
pies Sunday Alliance, at our churches
and upon other public occasions.
When we read the statement the Star
refused to believe our district attor-
ney had fallen so low in the standard
of civilization as to countenance such
a public cowardly attack. We have
disagreed with him upon some things,
but when it came to human principles
the Denver Negroes believed he
would play fair. He had their conf
dence. When asked about the state
ment alleged to have been made by
one of his young deputies, he utterly
repudiated the sentiment and after
making Investigations advised the ed
itor of the Star that Thursday nights

system.
So sure, so positive, so quick and
lasting, are the results obtained from
the use of Croxone, that three doses
a day for a few days are often all
that is required to cure the worst
case of backache, regulate the most
annoying bladder disorders, and over
come the numerous other similar
conditions.
1t is the most wonderful prepara-
ton ever made for the purpose. II
is entirely different from all other
remedies. There is nothing else on
earth to compare with it. 1t is so
prepared that it is practically impos-
sible to take it into the human sys-
TEN without results.
You can obtain an original package
of Croxone at trihing cost from any
hrst-class drug store. All druggists
are authorized to personally return
the purchase price if Croxone fails to
give desired results, regardless of
how old you are, how long you have
suffered, or what else. has failed to
cure you.
