CITY NEWS.
THE STAR MUSICAL CROWDS
SHORTER-SOCiET TURNS
OUT EN- MASSE TO HEAR
ARTISTS.

Last Tuesday evening at Shorter
Chapel, a large and appreciative au-
dience evidenced Denver's approval
of high class musical.
The participants were some of our
best musical talent, young people
who have given their time and ener-
gy to studying music with the idea OF
becoming artists in their several
branches How we'll they have sue
ceeded was demonstrated by the mas
terly manner in which they rendered
the various numbers. Mrs. Hudson,
who has been studying in old Mexi-
co, rendered two selections of Span
ish type on the piano. Mrs. Hudson
was compelled to respond to encores.
The soprano soloists were Misses
Jessie Andrews and Jennie Mae
Hicks. Miss Andrews possesses a
rich soprano voice with wonderful
possibilities. Miss Hicks is OF the
Jennie Lind style. possessing a re-
sympathetic quality.
Mrs. Lillian Hawkins-Jones, our
favorite contralto, sang in her usual
captivating manner and Mr.. Geo. Nor
rison, who it is always delight to
hear, held his audience spellbound
as he rendered Raff's Cavatina.
1t was Denver's first opportunity to
hear Mr.. Nollie Smith as a soloist,
Mr.. Smith possesses a baritone voice
and he sang Petries' "Out Where the
Billows Roll High" in a pleasing man
ner.
The audience was reluctant about
leaving when the last number on the
program was rendered and the young
artists received many well deserved
compliments.

GOVERNOR FRANK B. WILLIS
BELIEVES IN HUMAN RIGHTS.
ohio's Chief Executive Praises De.
eision In "Grandfather Clause" Case.

Columbus, O.-Governor Frank B.
Willis Of this state, who proved his
strong interest in the race by causing
to be revoked the state censor's permit
given to the photo play "The Niger"
to show in Ohio and his declaration
that another play of the kind, but far
more damaging to our race should not
be produced In Ohio has again won tho
plaudits Of the colored people in this
city and state by his splendid indorse-
ment of the federal supreme courts
decision in the Oklahoma case.
So far he is the only state executive
who has expressed himself respecting
that decision. When the decision was
rendered he promptly gave public ut
terance to the following:
This decision of the United States
supreme court against the 'grandfa-
ther' clause In the laws Of Oklahoma
and In the Maryland case is one ofthe
most important and farreaching in
years. 1t is vindication of the prin-
ciple that in this country a citizens
worth is to be measured by his own
merit and not by the qualifications Of
his grandfather.
"The principle Of the grandfather
clause was un-American, unfair and
altogether out Of harmony with our
institutions. The law should encOur-
age every citizen without regard to
race or colo- to improve his own con-
dition, not dampen and kill his energy
and ambition by applying a rule of rec
ognition as arbitrary and indefensible
as ever stained the pages of the his
tory of hereditary feudalism in the
dark ages
"The fifteenth amendment meant
what 1t said when 1t proclaimed
that the right to vote should not be
denied on account of race, color or
previous condition OF servitude This
amendment does not prohibit fair
educational qualification applicable to
all races alike. but 1t does prohibit an
unfair discrimination between RACES
The decision of the supreme court will
be hailed with satisfaction by every
person who believes in fair chance

Thumbs Down for Bouchard.
Haggard and at bay, Bouchard faced
the circle Of frowns around the pol
ished expanse of that precious heir
loom, the dining room table of the Gal
lands. The dreaded reckoning Of the
apprehensions which kept him rest
lessly awake at night had come at the
next staff council after the fall OF the
Twin Boulder Redoubt. With the last
approach to the main line of defense
cleared, one chapter of the war was
finished. But the officers did not man
ifest the citation that the occasion
called for, which Is not saying that
they were discouraged. They had no
doubt that eventually the Grays would
dictate peace in the Browns capital.
Exactly stated, their mood was one of
repressed professional irritation, Not
until the third attempt was Twin Boul-
der Redoubt taken. AS far as results
were concerned, the nicely planned
first assault might have been a stroke
of strategy by the Browns to drive
the Grays into an impossible fire zone.

his lead with equal candor.
Exactly. We have no reports Of
their artillery strength which we had
greatly underestimated," said the
chief OF artillery.
Our maps of their forts could not
be less correct IL revealed to us for
purposes of deceit. Again and again
we have thought that we had them
surprised, only to be surprised our
selves. In short, they know what we
