SENATOR HATTENBAcH'S DEATH
a LOSS TO COLORADO.

In the death of Senator Leon Hat
tenbach, Denver and Colorado have
lost one OF their natlve sons whose pise
to civic prominence was purely by
merit. and who, although cut off In the
prime of his life when he was of great
usefulness To his fellowmen has left n
standard, yea great example for 9th
ers to follow and be guided by, espe-
cially those ascpiring for leadership.
He died suddenly last Sunday after
noon, returning from Arvada with his
wife and son in the automobile he was
driving. He was well known by the
colored population Of certain section
of the city, they being among the regu-
lar patrons of his grocery store when
he was In the business with his bro
ther. In his capacity as law-maker for
the state he never hesitated to support
all measures favoring advantages to
the people, as well as denouncing and
thoroughly opposing anything discrim-
inatory to our portion of the commun-
ity and also against the welfare of the
people. He is gone. A good man is
no more. He did his best. PEACE

BOY SCOUTS TENTH ANNlVER-
SARY.

February S-14 will mark Red Letter
Event in the history of our BOY
SCOUTS, as the biggest and most sig
nificant celebration of its kind held in
the world will herald the Tenth Ami
versary of this noble institution. This
being one of the organizations of the
nation where OUR BOYS are making
an impression that we trust will not be
effaced, and further will enlist the
sympathy of our parents and our men
to do real constructive work in our
community, we sincerely hope that
more than a passing interest will at
tend the activities of this anniversary,
and that the call for more scoutmas-
ters will be needed and the power of
this institution be felt throughout the
world.

DR.. RANSOM AT SHORTER A. M. E,
CHURCH..

Dr. Ransom, a candidate for bishop
from the Fifth Episcopal District,
gave his version of "The Negro in the
New Era," which was listened to by
large and appreciative audience. We
have been privileged to hear n number
of our ministers and laymen on this
question, and while there may be some
differences regarding systems and
methods to be adopted that will be
most beneficial, vet fundamentally
there is Il similarity as to organization
among us. If the spirit to overcome
the ills that surround us by the meth
ods that will be highly commendable
be our course of action, we in com
paratively short time will win the rec
ognition we long for.

THOMAS w. ARLINGTON, POPU'
LAR DENVER RESIDENT DIES.

After suffering for nearly two years
with Il terrible malady our friend of
several years succumbed to the disease
of cancer last Sunday and was buried
on Tuesday from Shorter Church,
where he was member for many
years. He was an employe of the rail
road for number of years and was
very much liked by his employers and
those he came in contact with. He
bore his Illness with fortitude and his
friends who visited him during that
time declare that his powers of endur-
ance, patience, etc, were almost super
human. Kind-hearted and very liberal
in his tendencies he always found time
for charitable work and was considered
Il friend of the poor by many. He
leaves a brother who was very devoted
in his attention to him during his ill
ness and who remained with him until
his death. The Colorado Statesman
offers its sincere coincidence to the be
reaved relatives of the deceased.

us that the republicans are making

One Of Townley's aims is to i'm
press upon the gentlemen who wear
his eighteen-dollar tin badges that all
newspaper editors are liars with the
exception of those who conduct his
socialistic organs. He seeks to cajole
his faithful followers into the belief
that his propaganda furnishes all the
information it is necessary for them to
know. There is, of course, reason
He fears that should his 1eaguers show
preference for papers which tell the
truth his little game would soon peter
out-the further sale of tin buttons
would no longer be possible and his
treasure chest would in consequence
rapidly become depleted.

Here is what Daniel Webster said

seeks to drag uc into with foreign ma

Let our object be our country. And,

try itself become a vast and splendid
monument, not of oppression and ter

ty, upon which the world may gaze
with admiration forever!"

save money for thrift stamps and an
occasional liberty bond. A large per-
centage of these families had some
man in the service and they gave
generously of their substance in order
that the conflict might soon terminate
The fighting ceased but peace was not
declared. The present administration
became obsessed with one idea, the
league of nations. The United States
must save Europe. The unrest in this
country increased and a spirit of bit
terness arose among the people, but
the eyes of President Wilson and his
associates were raised "a little be-

It is unnecessary to recall the sue
cession of strikes and labor troubles
The capitalists and organized labor
more than able to take care of them
selves, continued to lay ever increasing
burdens on the great mass of Ameri-

the war had been able to maintain
modest homes on decent living scale
! We have been told the high cost OF
living is due to our extravagant tastes
If eating meat once day, having
milk for the babies, wearing shoes in.
stead of going barefoot, wearing cot
ton, linen or wooden instead of paper
is extravagant we will probably con
tinue to be extravagant.
Now we are told 1000 individual:
were added to our millionaire group
during the year 1919. We do not, o.
course, hold that President Wilson anc
the democratic administration are en-
tirely responsible for the presen
economic conditions, but we do hole

of their attention to domestic matters

is not the only city of aristocrats
where few babies are found, however,
there are scores of such places
and the chief reason is that infants in
terfere with social functions. The

for pets they have chameleons, white

During the past week two state
ments have appeared which caused
our blood pressure to rise just trife:
Washington, Aug. 13.-Fcderal in
proximately $4,000 persons in the
United States who might be classified
as members of the millionaire group
and that there are at least 10000
millionaires in the United States. In
Guided in the $4,000 total would be
the members of families of the 10000
persons who in their returns con-
fessed to an annual income of at least
$4,000 in 1919. This is the lowest
probable return on $1,O00,000. In this
group might be included some high
salaried executives, but their number
would not be great. War profits made
many millionaires in this country, the
number in 1918 being 10000. This
year returns showing incomes of $780,
900 to $750,O0O were filed by 1917
heads of families, 80 reporting in
;; comes ranging from $4,000 to ST.

We realize that postwar conditions
are always abnormal. The financial

affected by such mighty disturbance
