Y. M. c. A. NOTES.

Secretary Thomas j. Bell has just
returned from New York where he
went three weeks ago to spend his
vacation with his family. He reports
having had very pleasant time. Dur
ing his absence the Rev. G. Sterling
SAWYER, pastor of Scott M. e. church,
had charge of the work.
A large number of boys linked" to
Golden and back-a distance of near
ly thirty-five milestone day last
week. They were very orderly and
behaved splendidly, although apple
trees towering over the roadside and
isolated tomato fields were none the
better off on the return trip. Similar
hikes will be made from time to time
during the Fall.
A goodly number of men attended
the mems meeting last Sunday after
noon at o'clock to listen to the ad-
dress of the Rev. E. N. Evans, pastor
OF the M. e. Church South, who spoke
on the subject, "A Universal Need
and Universal Remedy" Mr.. Evans
address was very scholarly and elo-
quent. He showed that the human
craving for something to satisfy the
soul-hunger of man was well nigh
universal; gave illustrations showing
that neither wealth nor knowledge
nor political power was able to do 1t,
and that it was only found in be-
lief based on the life and promises
of Christ.
The Boys Band, under the leader
ship of their manager, Mr.. James l..
Boykin, gave an outing at Rocky
Mountain Lake on Labor Day. The
band furnished it's own music. man
aged their own refreshments, and had
very successful day. The proceeds
were for the benefit Of the band, to
assist in paying for instruments.

JAMES G. STARKWEATHER
Candidate for State Senator
Republican Primaries,
September 12,

In securing the nomination of
James c. Starkweather for state
senator the coIored population of
Colorado can be assured of an
honest and faithful representative
who will support every bill that
will contribute to their progress
and advantage, and with the same
manly spirit suppress and de-
nounce every infringement and
encroachment on their right and
liberty as American citizens.
AS a lawyer, Mr.. Starkweather
has served his colored clients -or
over twenty years with the same
attention to duty and devotion to
service as his other clients, and is
always ready and willing to
champion the cause of the weak
against the strong with his un-
tiring zeal for right. He is per-
sonally known to the Colorado
Statesman for over thirty years,
and we can affirm, corroborate
and substantiate every opinion
favorably expressed towards him,
as we have from our long asso-
citation in various phases of busi-
ness found him a man in every
sense of the word-a man whose
integrity has established itself
impressively on the people of the
entire state.
Our appreciation of his services
can be best shown by our votes
next Tuesday nominating him
for this honorable poeition and
setting the pace for his further
election

SEGREGATION BILL BEFORE
COUNCIL COMMITTEE.

The adjourned meeting of the city
council to hear argum ents for and
against the intended ordinance for
the segregation of Negro property
owners was held last Thursday after
non in the council chamber and at
tended by a large and representative
gathering of both races. Speakers on
both sides of the question were heard
and the council closed the debate for
the regular session when the bill will
be formally presented. The interest
manifested by our people show that
we are resolving TO have a united
front on matters that affect our
standing as American citizens and
very soon the recognition which. we
deserve will be given us. The debate
resolved itself into the protection of
property rights of white people" and
the deprivation of the invaluable
rights of the Negro American citi-
zens provided by the constitution"
This vicious, unjust and and unfaii
bill we hope be denounced by The
wise and sober heads of our city
council who will place a right value
on American citizenship which is su-
perior to all other privileges and ad
vantages in our United States of
America.
The Colorado statesman., 1916-09-09

Mr. Rees D. Rees, the subject OF
this sketch, was honored by the State
Republican Assembly with its desig-
nation for the high office of Attorney
General of Colorado, to be voted on at
the primaries on September IL, 1916,

richly deserved.

June, 1899, and has practiced his pro-
fession in Denver ever since with
marked and unusual success.
Mr.. Rees is. one of the leaders of
the Denver bar and has been engaged

lucrative practice and his numerous
clients are his staunchest friends.

sense of right and justice, is a man
cf sterling, uncompromising integrity,
is uniformly kind, genial and cour-
teous and has courage and firm un-
resisting power of will that know no
flinching under any circumstances. He
is a man of large heart and strong
feeling, and when moved by the
Righteousness of any cause in which
he is engaged, is a foe worthy of any
ones steel. AS a jury lawyer he has
few equals.

POPULAR DENVERITES IMPRESS
CITY COUNCIL.

Mrs. Isabel Stewart, one of the sec
retaries of the Colored Citizens
League made vexy favorable i'm
preston on memberS of the city coun-
ell, when she appeared before them
Thursday, 31st ult., as one of the dele
gates opposing the intended ordi-
nance to segregate white and colored
residents of the city in the purchasing
of property. Her clear reasoning
and logical argument against the re-
quest of the Denver Property Own
ers' Protective Association was a
proof in itself of the advantages to
be derived from the suppression and
elimination of any laws that interfere
with the right and liberty of the citi-
zens of this American Republic, and
Mrs. Stewart who is a native of Colo
rado, having descended from parents
who are numbered among the pioneers
of the state. they having arrived
here in 1858, merits the strong sup
port of every Negro property owner,
as well as the backing of the entire
Colored population to champion sue.
cessfully this intended infringement
OF the fundamental principles of our
constitution. Associated with Mrs.
Stewart, were Messrs. N. ]. Walker
and c. w. Burford, residents of the
city for many years, who spoke vigor-
ously against the action of the Pro-
tective Association and appealed to
the Council to assist them in protect
ing the fair name of Denver by their
unanimous negative reply to this un-
American organization which should
be ostracized from our community.

CONCERT AT COUNTY JAIL.

The opinion of officers, inmates
and spectators who attended the en-
tertainment last Sunday afternoon
pronounced it one of the best of the
series gotten up by Miss Ivah Dunk
lee, head of a white organization
that provides music and literature for
the alienation of the Oppressive spirits
of the unfortunates and an estab-
lishment of hope for reformation
after regaining of their liberty They
were contributors from both races to
the program which consisted of vocal
and instrumental solos, duets, popular
and patriotic songs-the latter being
sung by the audience. A special fea-
ture was the rendition of violin solos
by Master Atwell Rose, the only son
OF Mrs. Pearl Rose of 712 Twenty
ninth street, boy of ~ years whose
exhibition delighted the audience in
such a manner as to cause a number
of encores. There is no doubt about
the artistic ability of this little mus
ician and with careful training and
encouragement he will be an invalu-
able asset to the Colored race and
virtuoso that America will be proud
of. Miss Cleo Hobson. daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Hobson, of 1852
0leHdTlH pldCe, came III Tor n1Sn cO1n-
mendation for her execution on the
piano. Her touch and technique prove
her musician, and her faultless rem
dition of her solo, Les Deux AL
onettes,' and violin accompaniment
place her within the ranks of our
leading pianists.
Good results beneficial to these
juveniles and the community should
result if they resolve to do team
work.
Mr.. Charles Clark, our popular
tenor, and Mrs Pearl Rose were we'll
received and applauded as their
voices seemed TO soothe the troubled
minds of the inmates. Hewetson-Wat
son was at the piano.
The thanks of Miss Ivah Dunklee
for the charitable assistance and her
special appreciation of the younsters
are cordially accepted.
Talent trained and sued for worthy
causes as the above know no color
line or racial differences and should
be an encouragement for our people
in Denver to qualify. (Editor)
