DENVER coLoRED CIVIC ASSocI
ALTON REPRlMAND VICTOR
WALKER FOR LINCOLN
DAY ADDRESS.

Through its board of directors, the
Denver Colored Civic Association, on
Wednesday night, held Victor Il.
Walker to be guilty of conduct harm
full to the welfare and good of the as
sociation by giving to the Denver
Post Feb. 13 a copy of an address de-
livered at the Lincoln Day banquet,
purporting to be the views of the as
sociation on the school question of So
cial equality. The charges considered
were filed with the board by Thos.
Campbell, president of the associa-
ton following the publication of the
Address referred to, in which 1t was
stated that Walker was chosen to
speak on the matter. This was clear
ly disproven and Mr.. Walker was
called before the board and given a
reprimand, with the reminder that the
association must be regarded at all
times as bigger than any individual,
and that leaders were developed, not
acclaimed. This brought to a close
an ugly and very unpleasant incident
that has been agitating the minds of
our people for the past two weeks.

BREAKING OUT AGAIN.

Three murders or near murders in
week is a pretty large size record to be
charged against any group in Denver,
but that is the record made by our
group within the last week. We are by
no means proud of it, and if it is an
epidemic we trust it will soon pass by.
The daily papers have enough of
these accounts recently to suit our
morbid desire for some time to come.
