the seasons loveliest flowers.
. Tango was decidedly the feature Of the

If there ever was a time when the
people of Colorado would show their
appreciation of the use of the ballot
it must be on November 8, when a
sweeping victory for Carlson will
prove that although he is the Repub-
ican party's choice, yet the time has
come when, tiring of the continuous
turmoils that our state has passed
and is passing through, the people
have resolved to elect man who lis
tens to the dictates of his conscience
first, and then in conjunction with the
wish of the people consents to be at
the helm of the ship of state and steer
her clear of the rocks that now sur
round her. Capable and conscientious,
keen and honest of mind, with fair
play tc all and preferment to none
from prejudicial standpoint, he
needs no delegation to wait on him
as he is approachable and ever ready
to give audience on matters of state,
especially concerning the welfare of
the people and the obedience to law.
In his declaration he emphatically
asserts that he will see the laws of
the state carried out, whether in their
present form or changed, ana opens
the door to the public to inform. him
at all times on matters which need
reform for the social, moral and fnan-
cial uplift of the community of which
he is a member.

NEGRO CENSUS

Washington, October 16,-The
number of Negroes in the United
States proper in 1910 was 9,S27, 763
compared with S,S33,964 in 1900,
or an increase of 993, ,769, aprelim.
mary report of the Census Bureau
announced today. In 1910 the Ne
groes formed 10 I per cent. of the
total population, against 116 per
cent in 1900 The increase for
the decade was 112, compared
with POS per cent. among the ma
tive whites and of 30.7 per cent.
among the foreign born whites.
OF the total of 1858 counties in
the United States, there were only
ITO in which there were no Negroes
and there were fifty-three counties
in 1910 against fifty-fve counties
in 1900 which rs per cent. of the
population was Negro.

team that is bound to succeed,
when on the right, for such help,
mate not only lifts and cheers him
in his endeavors, but builds him
up in his sad and Oppressive mo-
ments.
We understand that the fifteen
employees are mainly white which
serve Mr.. Terry, this naturally
causes much wonder from his own
race
When we realize that he is an
investigator and that after years of
actual experience has found it is
not to his advantage, but like Mr..
Edwards, the largest expressman
among US here, who says, Il can
not depend on them, [ am sorry
but [ must put in white teamsters. :"
These words should cause every
one to stop and take a clearer view
of the situation. Nowhere in this
country can we hear so many com
plants and so little substantial
business development as here.
The young colored woman in
charge of the switch board in the
apartment Checkefton, owned by
Mr. Terry is plac, d in that posi-
ton and pronounced fit.
1t is true the colored man has
outstripped all competitors in the
manner he has worked, from the
bottom up, and we feel that too Of
ten this fact is a real hindrance in
the advancement of many, when
it ought to be am element to great
er effort.
If one seeks magnetic inspira
ton let him sit under the soft mod
ulated voice of Mr.. Terry, listen to
him tell about his Sunday School
of which lie is superintendent,
then see the general secretary, Mr..
Pierce of the Y. NJ G. A., and
learn of his generously to that
body, and visit the homes in
Brockton, where he ministers as a
good angel with his wife to the
needy.
Then it will be greatly easier for
the Colored man to secure his civil
and political rights, by doing those
things which prove to the mass of
his and other races that he is a
useful member in the community
and real profit to them.
The Colorado statesman., 1914-10-24

Boston, Mass, Oct. 20.-Before
one of the largest crowds that has
witnessed a fight at the Atlas
Athletic association this season,
Gunboat Smith of California to
night quit to Sam Langford, in
the third round of a battle sched-
uled for twelve sessions.
Smith never had chance, and
some of the fans thought he used
excellent judgement when he re-
mained on his knees and listened
to Jack McGuigan toll off the fatal
ten count.
1t was the first time the leading
white hope" of this county, who
gained a decision over Langford
here year ago, has been knocked
out. His 200 pounds were behind
three solid punches before the first
round was half over, and a sweep
ing right felled Smith for a count
of seven. Smith was weak when
the first round ended.
In the second round Langford
again took the aggressive. Lead
ing left, he hammered a right
home to Smiths jaw, crushing
him to the mat. Smith sprawled
there for nine seconds, staggering
to his feet barely in time to save
himself from being counted out,
Feinting and landing with left
and right, Langford rocked Smith
with his blows and foored him
again. Referee Jack McGuigan
of Philadelphia had counted four
when the bell gave Smith re-
prieve.
Protecting himself as best he
could. Smith lasted through
nearly two minutes of the third
round. Then Langford again
pointed his left menacingly and
drew Smiths guard over. The
Negro quickly drove his right with
terrific force to the white mans
Jaw. Smith sank to the mat,
where he was counted out.
Experts here tonight were of the
opinion that there is no white
heavyweight now in the limelight
who has a chance with Langford,
and some thought that his threat
against johnson was anything but
an idle one.
The white man was outclassed
all the way through, and on his
showing tonight the fans wondered
how the gunner ever defeated any
of the heavy weights who are pa
rading around the country
Langford cried out from the ring
after the bout for them to bring on
Jack johnson, saying he would do
the same to him as he did to the
big Californian.

all voters to place the x opposite the
name of George A. Carlson for gov
