State Health Officer
Pays Us a Visit

There are nine cases of scarlet
fever in Idaho Springs, and one
the Malone case will be released
from quarantine today. There
have been wild rumors going the
rounds to the effect that there are
fourteen cases. thirty one cases,
that the town will quarantined,
that there are only ten cases and
there must be three more before
the town can be quarantined, and
all sorts of erroneous statements.
State Health Officer Morgan
came up Wednesday evening to
look into the situation, met with
the city council and City Health
Officer Fraser and returned to
Denver Thursday morning. Doc
tor Morgan approved of the way
the situation was being handled,
and the council passed resolution
prohibiting children under sixteen

day school, church or any other
public meeting until further Or
ders by the city health committee.
The city schools. have already
been closed for the week, and next
week being spring vacation will
see the schools closed for at least
two weeks. .....
The cases developed thus far
have all been light with the excep-
ton OF Margaret Shaffer, who was
very i'll Wednesday night.
The young son of Mr.. and Mrs.
81. E. Machol, who had a very
light attack, has been removed to
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. W. L.
Shaffer, his mother accompanying
him. The rooms over the Mer-
chants and Miners National bank
have been thoroughly fumigated
and the quarantine there has been
raised. The other tenants in the
building had been placed at a
disadvantage owing to the circum-
stances but are now pleased that a
satisfactory solution of the prob
lem has been reached. The public
may now enter the building with
out the least danger of infection.
Doctor Alan D. Fraser announ-
ees that every precaution will be
taken to prevent futher spread
of the malady and that there is no

Enid-Big Four Makes
a Splendid Showing

The Enid-Big Four property on
Soda creek is showing up better
with every foot of development
work. A test made this week from
a sample of 25 pounds taken from
across three-foot streak in the
breast of the drift, showed a value
of $3.50 per ton, mostly gold.
About 25 tons of this kind of ore is
now on the dump.
Shipments will begin as soon as

speciality of agriculture so as to be of

speciality Of agriculture so as to be of
special assistance to their community.
AS to Professor Hale, 1t has been
said many times by numerous compe.
tent judges that the state board of ed
ucation was extremely fortunate in Sc
curing the services Of a man such as
he has proved to be. He is known by
probably more people of his race en-
gagged In the teaching profession than
any other in Tennessee and personally
liked ard admired by them all. He
has been able to interest almost every
schoolteacher. minister and leader OF
the Negro race in the state school.
This interest has never waned, and to-
day it is positively fact that more
Negroes throughout the state are d.
rectly in touch with the A. and l. nor.
nal and are possessed more with the
idea that it is their" school than any
other of the large number Of educa-
tional institutions for colored people In
Tennessee.
Professor Hale came up from the
ranks, having been Il teacher for many
years. He has been district school
teacher and high school principal. He
has been institute instructor for cOun-
ty and state. He possesses unusual
executive ability, has n knack Of get
ting things done, and this is what has
made for him success.
AS an evidence of what is here stat
ed the following words OF the late DR..
Booker T. Washington, the greatest of
all industrial educators, is given. He
said, ''There is no parallel case to the
great progress of such Il school as has
been accomplished by President Hale
in so short time"
The extensive acquaintance of Presi-
dent Imle with the colored teachers
served him exceptionally well in the
organization of what is now conceded
the largest and most successful sum
mer school for teachers conducted any
where in the entire country, and dur
ing tho summer of 1914 nearly 1000
cOlorcd teachers from over the state
were brou"h: to the \. and I. normal to
engage in this work.
Ii WAS hy far tho largest body of
teachers ever assembled together in
odS of teaching. The summer term Is
of six weeks duration. and The work
was conducted by President Hale, who
was assisted by the regular normal
faculty. all experts. together with .
number of special instructors.

THE ELECTION AND THE AFTER.
MATH.
Favorable Impressions and
Suggestions.

The election is over and Mayor
Speer is at the wheel of Denver's city
government. Nisbet and his follow
ers have been relegated to the rear.
Besides, the election of Robert W..
Speer to the mayOralty did not en-
hance the gubernatorial chances OF
Gov. Geo Carlson. Mr.. Speer's cab
met of able and wisely selected men
will assist him in bringing back prop
perity to Denver. How does tins cleo
ton affect Negroes and what are and
will be the after effects? This cleo
ton proved to the world, and espe-
cially to Mayor Speer, that the ma
jority of the Negroes of Denver
worked and labored hard for his sue
cess. 1t proved that the Negroes
manhood when properly tested by
fire and suffering will readily respond
for its protection. Birth OF Nation
Nisbet met an inglorious defeat; also
the black and white Jim Growers.
On the other hand this campaign has
opened up avenues of friendly dlspo-
sition among the bosses toward the
Negro. The campaign rally started
when Commissioners Sharpley and
Pitcher made their first appointments
of color, and kept cultivating Negroes
friendship by just recognition. Ihe
Five Points Club did yoemen service
in thoroly organizing favorable senti-
ment. The victory is SO large that
everybody should get his or her share
No one person, paper or organization
can be legitimately given all the cred
it for the solid Negro vote given to
Mr.. Speer and his plan. 1t took all
the Negroes to speak out, which they
did in thunderous tones. Our associ'
alton with the business men of Den
yer has brought forward many new
favorable conditions in our CONNER
cial and Industrial life.

we will suffer to lose all we have. In
order to meet this growing demand
and the encouragement of it, The
Star is calling for meeting OF the
Negro business and professional men
of good standing who will first look
after the races interest, and then
politics afterwards, to meet Tuesday
night at the Colored American Loan
& Realty Co. Office on 21st st.
Every business man OF standing is
invited to come and assist in laying
plans for a commercial organization
to handle the Negroes industrial and
commercial problems. This is one of
the greatest events the election has
opened up, that the business Negro
must provide work for the Negro
workers. With some Of our good
women looking after our civic and
social welfare, the other part to look
after the housewives interests, and
our ministers of the gospel, our re-
ligious well being, why should We
business and professional men not
look after our industrial and CONNER
cal duty for the race? This invita-
ton includes business women also.

The political situation has devel-
oped the need of an organization
wherein the Negro housewives can
play a conspicuous part in making
certain requests not only for young
girls, widowed women, but for deserv-
ing persons who want to work but
are unable to get it. Women, why
let men do your thinking along this
line when you can do 1t yourselves!
Everybody listens to organizations.
Why not have juvenile officer, a
charity representative, and the like!
O, women of Denver, your time IS
now. Look after your own business.
If you organize you can get what you
deserve. Denver is too large ana
prosperous for our women to be held
back under the single leadership OF
one or two women who merely want
to control you for selfish purposes.

The Denver Star cheerfully publishes
the following facts, to-wit, concerning
the Masonic entertainment: That the
political advertising on the poster for
the Masonic entertainment. on which
poster was also the name "E. G. Tum-

poster without the knowledge or CON
sent of Mr.. Tumlin; that he neither

anything whatever to do with the put
ting of the matter about politics OIL

local advertisement on said poster,
and instead | arbitrarily, without
thinking or having any intention to
harm him in any way, but without
consulting him, placed thereon the
political advertisement, for which ac-
ton l apologize to him now so that
all may know, both his friends and

without the knowledge of Mr.. Tumlin,
whom we have not seen. but upon the
sole responsibility of the manager of

full responsibility for the same.

Cloria's Romance Well Received by

Manager Davis of the New Thea
ire received many compliments today
for the splendid pictures shown at

featuring Billie Burke. This is the
costliest serial picture ever produced
and requires twenty chapters for the
complete unfolding Of the story. It
will be shown at the New Theatre
every Friday, and judging from the
way the audience received the first
installment it is going to prove a
great drawing card.

ut begins to look as if Brer Mar
tin, who is the result OF the political
upheavel in Louisiana, which follow
ed the passage of the Underwood
tariff act, would be mighty close to
the balance of power in the House
when the Sixty-fifth Congress lines
up for the election Of speaker.
"Mr. Martin was elected as a Pro-
tectionist Progressive, on a platform
which demanded protection for
sugar, on which his district thrives.
He was elected as an angry retort to
the Democrats for refusing to listen
to the plea of the Third district of
Louisiana for protected sugar, and
to all political students since he has
maintained a constant defense a
gainst the attacks of Democrats
throughout the entire state Of Louis
lana.
.'Now the Democrats claim the
next house by three, and the Repub-
licans claim 21S votes will be cast
for a Republican speaker when the
next Congress opens in December,

begins to look like Representative
Whit P. Martin would hold a large
