The organiZa-
ton has declared itself for strict and
impartial enforcement of the law, be-
ginning with the Constitution of the
United States in its entirety, down to
the ordinances of the city, because the
safety of society rests thereon.
The organization has taken a stand
for the retention and the enforce
ment of the Eighteenth Amendment
to the Federal Constitution, not alone
because it is the law of the land, but
because the organization stands I'M
alterably opposed to the liquor traffic
in any form whatsoever. It consid-
ers the plea for the return of light
wines and beer, coupled with declared
opposition to the return OF the saloon,
as hypocritical and an insult to pub.
lie intelligence, since it's sale would
necessitate some sort Of a public dis
pensary. call it what you may.
Against Rate Increases
The organization has consistently,
but with futility, opposed all rate adj
vances by public utilities because 1t
is convinced that the people are be-
financial jugglery, expert distortion
Of facts and legal chicanery, a false
foundation is erected for .exorbitant
rates. When 1t sees the A T. e T.
Company allowed to manipulate its
puppet, the Indiana Bell, in the staging
Of and getting by with the "from-o one
pocket-to-another" farce, paying Az
rer cent of It's gross earning annually
as rent from itself to itself, thus
through a technical but fiimsy sub
terfuge receiving just that much more
return on top Of the return allowed
1t upon inflated valuation, the hearts
CT our members are filled with Bit
terness against all concerned and the
only solace left them is the knowl-
edge that a day OF reckoning is fast
approaching.
For Municipal Ownership
Because this same attitude of un.
fairness permeates our local utilities,
the organization is convinced that no
remedy exists for the correction of
the oppressive rates imposed unjustly
upon the people other than municipal
ownership Of those utilities, operat-
ing upon a basis found successful in
hundreds Of other and larger cities of
the United States and Canada. This
organization will not be satisfied until
the people of this city own and con-
troll their utilities.
This organization does not favor
the passage OF the pending smoke
abatement ordinance unless it speci-
fically exempts private residences
from its provisions. Such exemption
would not invalidate the ordinance
on the ground that 1t unreasonably
discriminates between classes, &C.

The organization has taken a stand
for the unhampered spread of Chris,
tianity and the improvement of pub
lie educational facilities, and win con.
tinue to aid in the promotion Of such
program. 1t believes in identifying
our city and in the advancement of
her material interests. but not to the
neglect Of the mental and moral de-
velopment OF her future citizens.

Y. M. C. A. NOTES

Another thrill was administered last
Monday morning by the announcement
that our senior U. S. Senator, Lawr-
ence G. Phipps, had contributed $1,000
towards our New Building Fund. The
| feeling was somewhat akin to that
which we felt in March when we
learned that Mr.. c. A. Johnson had
given the first $4,000 towards the
fund, and whose gift furnished inspira-
ton for everything that has followed
BY this act our building fund received
great boost, and by so much has
helped on towards the $4,000 which is
to be the cost of the new building. On
behalf of the association of the colored
citizens in general our committee Of
management has sent letter to Sena-
tor Phipps thanking him for his splen-
did gift.
Things are now rapidly shaping for
the beginning of work. Contract will
/ soon be let for the excavation and af-
ter that other things will follow in
rapid succession. In the meanwhile
this is a good time for those who have
not paid their subscription to do so,
in order that full insentive and inspir-
alton may be given to the work.
A course for the training of boy
leaders has been organized and will
meet every Thursday evening at Z 80
o'clock. The course consists of eleven
lectures, all dealing in vital way
with the boy life. Mr.. Deal of the
Central Association, Secretary Boys
Work, will conduct the course. 1t is
hoped that a class of at least one
dozen men and young men may regis
ter for the coming season.
Sunday afternoon meetings will be-
gin shortly. A committee is mapping
out the programs for the season when
the first meeting will be held abou
the second Sunday in October.

THE INVISIBLE FURNACE MAN

This, the latest of the many benefi-
cial things offered by the Denver Gas
and Electric Light Company to the pub
lie, is creating quite sensation among
home owners, adding another modern
convenience that will make the home
healthier, happier and more cheer
full place in which to live.
AS it's name implies, " the invisible
furnace man" is another progressive
step displacing the care and trouble
incident to house heating by the old
method of solid fuel furnaces, and its
installation in the home will be the
means of conquering all disagreeable
features attendant with proper tenn
perature in winter time. This new and
wonderful agent is a gas burner In a
furnace or hot water plant, so regu
lated and controlled that it automatic
ally keeps the house at the tempera-
ture you desire, and changes to meet
the varying requirements of heat dur
ing the day or night. 1t is very easily
~
coal dust, SCOT, etc. Among the many
advantages to be obtained from 1.-The
invisible furnace man" are clean liv-
ing quarters, allowing you the enjoy
ment of every comfort, the regulation
of the heat instantly to suit the
changeable climate of the West, an
abundant heat supply at all times, and
the great consolation that you pay for
your fuel after you use it in easy
monthly payments. Many Denver
homes have solved the heating prob
lem by "the invisible furnace man,
and because the tendency of the times
is toward more comfort and conven-
ience in the home it can be readily
seen by those who appreciate modern
methods and improvements that this
most desired element shall have filled
long felt want. With the persistent
efforts of Mr.. George W. Bixler, the
genial and popular advertising agent
of the Denver Gas and Electric Light
Co., who never hesitates in giving
first hand information to the public
on matters pertaining to their welfare
as well as his keen business ability to
use reliable advertising mediums which
will reach all the people, there is every
reason to hope for large number OF
homes in our city becoming the bene-
ficiaries of this improved system or
heating and thereby becoming mem
ber of the large family Of The 1nvis-
ible Furnace Man.

After an absence of two weeks or
more our Pastor returned to the city
last week. He attended the n. B. c..
in Los Angeles, and visited other points
of interest in the state. His report of
the convention was the best that was
ever made in our church. He told of
it in such a way that one felt that he
was there in person and heard it all.
Service was well attended on last Sun
day, many strangers worshipped with
us. Delegates returning from the Ma
tional Convention were introduced to
the audience. DR.. ]. Franklin Walker,
of Cincinnati, Ohio, preached a great
sermon at the evening service. The
Pastor will speak at both services to-
morrow. The Mission Circle will hold
a Missionary mass meeting at 3 p. m.
the various mission circles of the city
will take part as well as the Pastors.
1t is a real musical treat to hear the
choir of this church on Sunday, their
ministry of song is above the average
and shows preparation and soul inter

sions, education. publication, young
peoples work and evangelism, SO as
to quicken and develop larger inter-
est in the nationwide enterprises of
his great church.
1t was the disposition of the conven-
tion that no man in the denomination
is more ably fitted to render this pc
culiar service than DR.. Over, and the
salary attached to the office will make
him one of the most highly paid Off
cials in the church. AT the same time
the trustee board of the National Bap-
tist Theological Seminary has ten
dered him the presidency of the school
at Nashville, Tenn. DIR. Over now has
these two propositions under consid-
Grafton and is expected to render his
decision within few weeks.
