PRESIDENT WOODROW WILSON
AT DENVER AUDITORIUM,
THURSDAY, SEPT. 25, IN AD-
DRESS ON LEAGUE OF NATIONS.

Whether we agree with President
Wilson's views or not on the subject
that he is addressing to the American
people in his tour throughout the coun-
try, he should be accorded the respect
and honor attached to the position OF
the chief executive of the nation, and
therefore all Denver should give him
IL hearty reception, and the City Audi
torium should be packed to hear his
message TO the people of such inter-
national Importance.
The Colorado Statesman hopes
large representation of our Americans
of color will be on hand and that
EARLY, so as to secure good and COM
Portable positions and have the advan-
tage of hearing from himself the Pres
ident's argument of his universal DE
MOCRACY BENEFICIAL TO ALL
HUMANITY.

STATEMENT OF MOTHERS
CONGRESS.

The charge publicly made that the
School Board is compelling the school
children TO do political work, is ut
terIy unfounded. Whatever is being
done by the children, is done ut the ur-
gent request of the Mothers Congress,
and not at the demand or even ut the
suggestion of the School Board.
After full investigation we became
convinced that the school facilities
were obsolete and wholly inadequate
for Denvers needs, that with rev
exceptions, extensive alterations wolllu
have to be made in the school build
ings, many would have to be torn down
and replaced by modern buildings, ana
that additional buildings must be con
structed Except in a few instances
lighting and heating We're found un-
satisfactory, and the ventilation, or
want of ventilation, utterly intolerable.
The overcrowding is such that some
five thousand children are forced to
attend classes in insanitary base
ments, and thousands of others are
crowded into rooms that We're not IN
tended, and that are wholly unfit, fo"
claSSroomS.
The conditions we found are not on
" a disgrace to Denver, but Ieniai
of fair opportunities to our children
but positive menace to their heath.
The reports of the School Board and
the public statements of its members
showing these conditions, having been
publicly denied by the interests op-

Ex-coNGRESSM GEO. w. MUIR
RAY AT CENTRAL BAPTIST ON
1.-THE POWER OF I'M
on PRESTON.

Quite a large and appreciative audi
ence greeted ex-Congressman Geo. w.
Murray of South Carolina when he
gave his lecture last Tuesday evening
on "The Power of Impression" To
saw it was great intellectual treat,
with practical guidances for the i'm
provement and development of the
race, and an object lesson greatly ben
eficial to us is to put it mildly. His
careful analysis proving no difference
in body and life of human beings, but
a vast difference in mind and spirit
due to impressions made during the
early period of their existence. After
discussing the creation and the making
of man he gave illustrations proving
that impressions must be vitalized to
have power, which gives the result for
right and wrong, good and bad. Ap-
plauses loud and long broke in on the
lecturer whenever he gave the logical
deductions from his wonderful store
house of the particular study of RACE
IDEALS, and vote of thanks was ac-
corded him, the audience rising in ap-
proyal when he concluded. 1t was an
opportunity of lifetime, a rich treat
and those who missed it will have a
chance on September Both to hear this
honored member of our race at mass
meeting.

We're received from the Equal Franchise

Bishop Rhinelander's Endorsement
reads. in part:
my firm conviction is that all city
government should be taken clean out
Of politics and run simply on a basis of
efficiency, with expert men of high char
acter handling each department.
Il feel very sure that the number of
Councilmen should be very greatly re-
duced that the heads of the various de-
partments should have more indcpend-
ence and executive power than now
that each city department should do it's
own work without farming out it's con-
tracts"
