Roosevelt Endorsed ''The UnpardOn
able SIM"


1t is only the chap that stands up
straight that breathes' the pure air that
floats above the heads of his fellow
men.
1t is only the commonplace that does
not excite controversy.
"The objectionable SIM" in book
form, had been selling by the thou
sands for some time before the author
himself discovered that it was being
Disseminated against by the authori-
ties of the New York Public Library.
Pressed for their reasons for failing
to provide IN adequate number of cop
les for patrons of the libraries in the
largest American cities, these author
tiles, with some hesitation, expressed
the belief that the subject matter of
the story was not calculated to pro-
mote the most friendly feeling among
the various classes and nationalities
living in the community which they
served.
This opinion, in letter form, printed
in the New York Times, in a single
days time aroused some of the biggest
thinkers in the United States, and their
endorsements of the book not only
compelled the New York Public Lii
brary to recede from its queer position
but sent the sales of the novel sky
rocketing once more, never-to the
present timeto let up.
The late ex-President Theodore
Roosevelt endorsed "The objectionable
SIM in the following characteristic
manner:
M.ikeePfR mcgioLlibraryHmonn a a a
"Office of Theodore Roosevelt, New
York City, July IS, 1918.
Dear Arthur: The objectionable
Sin is a very, very strong story. II
teaches just the lesson our people
should learn. l am mighty glad Cap
tain Hughes wrote it, and I hope il
will be most widely read. Faithfully
yours. Theodore Roosevelt"

The board of directors of the Den
yer Colored Civic Association, at its

rectors, presided.
At the meeting the services OF the
Western Publicity Bureau We're Sc

campaign and membership drive. 1t
was brought out in the discussions
that the Denver Colored Civic Asso-

tions among the race in Denver that
is not actuated or influenced by self
ish motives and therefore affords
splendid opportunity for the pro
pressiye colored men to help deVel-
for its general welfare. 1t was also
declared that the Civic Association
also offers a genuine chance for unity
among our people and that it can be
made to touch the lives of all classes.

BISHOP MEAD LAuDs PROGRESS
OF NEGRO.
Tells Optimists of Advancement OF
coIored People in America Since
Their Emancipation.

Asserting that the world is awak-
ening to Il realization of the serious
spiritual needs of the different races
which populate the globe, and that the
religious institutions of the country
are beginning for the first time 10
consider such needs, Bishop Charles
l., Mead, at meeting of the OPT
mists Club in the Metropole hotel
Yesterday. stated that he did not
know of any people that had made
more progress than our colored people
since their emancipation .in the SIN
ties"
"And yet we have our work cut out
for us with this race and the oth"i
races of the earth, for they must be
upIifted until theirs has become ii per
manent civilizations" he declared.
"There must be basis of absolute
morality established before the super
structure which is eventually built
will stand the strain.
"The best policy to pursue in this
regard, and one which will be found
the most satisfactory, is the motto,
1T is always best to believe the best.
Everywhere there are indications in
the modern movements which are be
ing undertaken, that the life OF me
world is being lifted up, bur it is first
necessary to eliminate the low moral
standards which have in many cases
prevailed"
That the colored race had made
rapid advancement was pointed out
by the speaker, who said that sit is
a fact that foreign races, when first
coming into contact with civilization,
take to the vices of the civilization
before they take to its virtues In
closing, the speaker asserted he was
IAN optimist to the soles of his feet.
as far as the extension of religious
and moral uplift to make possible a
better atmosphere in the life of the
individual was concerned"

FORCES WAR At FR|S CO

San Francisco, June 2S.-Although
overshadowed by the prohibition fight,
the contest over the league Of nations
plank Is receiving increasing atten-
ton as those who have disagreed con-
spicuously with the president gathered
The general prediction was that the
administration plank endorsing the
league without destructive reserya-
tions, will get a safe mapority in the
committee though there may be a con-
test against it in the convention. There
is much speculation about the form
such u fight may yet take and the
presidents opponents ranging from
irreconcilables to very mild reser-
vationists, apparently are at six and
sevens on a program. Senator Reed
irreconcilable, said he did not know
whether he would present his views
to the committee, or seated as a dele
gate, he would ask for vote on
flat rejecting of the treaty in the
convention.
lHe tAdCl pOSllloH " Dt tdhtll ny
Mr.. Bryan also remained more or less
indefinite, although it is the general
expectation that he will fight the
plank shaped by the administration
and will be for a declaration that
the treaty be ratified with whatever
concessions may be necessary in way
of reservations.
The disposition in still other quar-
ters is for plank advocating rati-
fication with whatever reservations
may be deemed necessary "to protect
American interests" The group urging
that course agree that the republi.
can platform has presented an issue
by condemning the president and up.
holding the senate and that the wise
course will be for the democrats to
take that issue into their own hands
