A mas de la ley de la conservation
de la materia, existe la ley de la con

A REAL CHRISTMAS PRESENT.

The HOLIDAY season with its joys and
its problems is upon us. What shall
we do to add to the happiness of the
occasion? Each one of us would like
not only to wish our friends IL Merry
Christmas and Happy New Year, but
to give them one. We cannot do this
by means of ill-considered presents.
Thoughtless gifts cause the January
ash can to bulge with debris. Only
when our gifts have lasting meaning
do they carry the true message of good
will which is the spirit of real giving.
We can give happiness and content
ment and safety for the future as well
as pleasure for the moment. Such gifts
are within reach of all. They are to
be found in the Savings Securities of
the United States government. From
the 25-cent Thrift Stamp to the $1,000
Treasury Savings Certificate, they will
carry with them not only the greetings
of the season but happiness for years
to come. In presenting the child a
card with one thrift stamp affixed, you
which will grow in value as the days
pass, for he will wish to fill the card.
That little gift will have grown won
derfully before another Christmas
comes around, and the recipient will
he on the way to life of independ-
ence.
In recommending these lasting gifts,
the Savings Division of the Treasury
does not suggest that single Amer
lean curtail his Christmas giving. II
suggests only that he broaden it to in
clude this present which will bring

N. A. A. c. p. ANNOUNCES VICTORY
IN ARKANSAS RIOT CASES.
Supreme Court of Arkansas Reverses
Decision of Lower Court in Case
of Six Men Condemned to Die.

The National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People, 40 Fifth
Avenue, New York, today announced
an important victory in the case of the
colored men condemned TO death in
connection with the Arkansas riots of
1919. The Supreme Court of the state
of Arkansas has reversed the decision
of the lower courts condemning the
men to death. This is the second re-
versal by the State Supreme Court OF
Arkansas in these cases and announce
ment was made by .Iames Weldon
Johnson, secretary of the National As.
ored People that the fight will be con-
tinued in the courts until justice is
had
The Supreme Court of Arkansas in
reversing the decision of the lower
court held:
l. That discrimination against the
colored men, because Negroes were
barred from the grand and petit juries
trying them, was in violation of the
Fourteenth Amendment to the United
States constitution, and of the Civil
Rights act of 1915;
.. That the lower courts had erred
in refusing to hear evidence on mo-
ton to set aside the regular panel of
the jury.
Word comes from Arkansas that the
other six men whose death sentences
the Supreme Court refused to review
will probably not be executed pending
determination of the cases recently
reversed.

ANNUAL MEETING OF THE DENVER
COLORED CIVIC ASSOCIATION
Election of Officers and Address of the President
Thomas Campbell.

Civic Association should have the full
support and cooperation of every
church and lodge in Denver, and espe-
cially the Y. NJ C. A.
Every leading, influential and pro-
gressive man should join with us and
help to create Il wider spirit of useful
ness and unity.
We should emulate the Jew, the Ital-
ian and the Greek. They each have
racial organization similar to this
wherein they are united and affiliated
to man and contribute their money
freely for their mutual benefit and pro-
lection. Without speaking disparag-
ingly, our men are far behind our
women in all lines of civic and social
organization. While we boast of
greater intellect and of making more
money the women have seemed to out
distance us. Why is this? You know
better than | can tell. Is it not time
we should put aside jealousy, suspi-
cion, ignorance and envy? We have
many brilliant, efficient and worthy
young men in Denver; let us go out
and bring them in and make places for
them in our association where they
can display their worth and ability.
Give the young men, who are already
with us, something worth while TO do.
I advocate and emphasize this policy.
What progress have we made? What
bo1-a ya dona worth while during thp
past wear? The greatest thing accom-
plished by us during the year was the
holding together of 100 men or more
for one solid year without break. or
any friction whatsoever. No jealousies
have crept into our ranks and perfect
harmony has prevailed. Great! Let
us remember too that we can make
progress only as fast as you desire or
have the ambition and inclination.
If any member is appointed on any
committee to perform certain duty
and he fails to perform that duty it is
evident that he is not interested and
has not the work of the Association at
heart
respectfully decline to accept a COM
mitteeship that he well knew he was
not going to fill properly.
We have attempted to establish a
permanent Memorial day among us in
honor of Lincoln and Douglass-Feb'y
10Th. Our first banquet and celebra-
ton last year was an epoch long to be
remembered and we should by all
means put forth every effort to excel
this year the grand celebration of last
vear We have contributed to several
worthy causes, as you have just
heard from the excellent reports of the
secretary and treasurer:
The civil rights case.
The Presbyterian Hospital fund of
800 was pledged and $50 paid. We
went on record with all other organ
izations endorsing the governor and
the mayor for the stand they took for
law and order during the great street
car strike last summer.
As a result of our organization here
i'm Denver many cities are following
our example in organizing similar bod
les.
We offer the following suggestions
to the members of the Association:
