therefore. one of the most important
and urgent problems of strategy for
the farmer-labor forces to steer a
course of action which, while retain
ing contact with the broad third par
ty movement, will at the same time
bring about the capitalization Of the
workers and exploited farmers into
a separate class party of their own"
The definite Communist purpose is
clearly indicated in the following
paragraph from the report:
eve must, as a part of the cam
paign for the organization Of the
whole left wing, assist in maintain
ing, organizing and Strengthening
the Federated Farmer-Labor party.
This does not mean that we shall al
low organizational fetishism to de-
velop which would interfere with any
necessary or advantageous regroup-
ing of the labor party forces. Our
aim is the building of the Workers
party into a mass Communist party,
and our strategy in the Farmer-La-
Dor movement must always be direc-
ted to this end"
ShatteF A. F. of L.
All of this intrigue is finally direc-
ted at the American Federation of
Labor in strict accord with the orig
inal Communist program Of destruc-
ton. The memorandum OF Moscow
sets forth four specific result which
in the view of Foster and his asso-
ciates will follow "the movement for
the split of the working and farming
classes and the petty bourgeoisie"
away from the dominant political
parties. The expected result in con-
nection with the American Federation
of Labor is set forth as follows:
"This split will shatter the A. F.
of L. Bureaucracy which stands to-
day as the most formidable obstacle
in the revolutionary development of
the trade unions. The A. F. of L. Blu
reaucracy is tied to the capitalist
parties. The split from the old par
ties will tear loose great masses of
organized workers from their allie
glance to the capitalist parties and
their own leaders who are agents of
these parties. 1t will upset the bal
ance of power in the A. F. of L. and
open the door for a general develop
ment of the trade unions in all direc-
tions."
Of course the possibility is recog-
nized that sincere farmer-labor in
terests may overthrow the Commun-
list scheme in the June convention,
but on the other hand it is recognized
that the Communist manipulators
have probably not proceeded thus far
without fair certainty of their
ground.
There has ben no capture of the
farmers and workers of these states
by the Communists, but they have
been able, apparently, to work their
way into party machinery in such
way as to put them in positions of
either influence or command.

Turn Hair Dark
With Sage Tea
II Mixed With Sulphur 1t Darkens
So Naturally Nobody
Can Tell

The old-tilne mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray,
streaked and faded hair is grand
mothers recipe, and folks are again
using it to keep their hair a good,
even color, which is quite sensible,
as we are living in an age when
youthful appearance is Of the great
est advantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have
the troublesome task of gathering the
sage and the mussy mixing at home.
All drug stores sell the ready-to-use
product, improved by the addition of
other ingredients. called "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" 1t is
very popular because nobody can dis
cover 1t has been applied. Simply
mOisten your comb or a soft brush
with it and draw this through your
hair, taking one small strand at
time; by morning the gray hair dis
appears, but what delights the ladies
with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is that, besides beautifully
darkening the hair after a few appli-
cations, it also produces that soft lus-
tire and appearance of abundance
which is so attractive.--adv.

Making Shopping
. Real Pleasure

The selling method in
one store may be differ
ent from that in another.
Both stores may aim high
and with good intent.
Naturally the method
that better conserves and
sustains the interests of
the public is the one that
will endure.
To serve the people
well is, we believe, to
serve them alike every
business day in the year.
In this store, you find
the same unusual money
saving opportunities to-
day as were here in the
yesterdays.
This, with new goods
arriving almost continu-
ously, makes shopping
here a real pleasure.

JUDGE BUTLER OF THE DISTRICT
COURT RENDERED IMPORTANT
DECISION IN THE CASE OF THE
ESTATE OF JOHN S. WILLIAMS,
DECEASED.

On November 30, 1923, John S. Will
Mitchell, who was a roomer at the
home of Williams, and after Williams
was taken to the General hospital he
fingered and finally died ON December
and tried for the murder of John S.
Williams and acquitted in the West
Side Criminal Court by jury. John
S. Williams owned house and lot
valued at $1,000 and held life insur-
ance policies and other money aggre-
eating about 100000. Leroy F. Will
liams, brother of John S. Williams, de-
ceased, employed Attorney Thos.
Campbell to represent him in the mat
ter of the estate of his deceased
brother.
Attorney Thos. Campbell Immediate
ly took legal steps to have Leroy f.
Williams appointed as administrator
of his brothers estate and Judge Lux
ford issued letters of administration
to him upon the application and show
ing made to the court by Attorney
Campbell. Thereupon, Lottie Daniels,
who represented herself to the court
as the common-law wife of John S.
Williams, deceased, made application
to the County Court for letters of adj
ministration and was denied the same.
She thereupon filed petition in court
to have Leroy Williams set aside as
administrator and his letters revoked.
The case come to trial in the County
Court on January 10, 1924, and Attor-
ney Thos Campbell, representing Lee
ROY f. Williams, won a sweeping vic
tory, wherein Judge Luxford rendered
one of the most remarkable opinions
on common-law marriages that has
ever been handed down in the County
Court.
Lottie Is0niels, through her counsel,
took an appeal to the District Court
and the case went to trial before
Judge Charles c. Butler February %.
After the evidence was heard and ar
guments of counsel on both sides made
to the court, Judge Butler reserved the
decision in the case until Thursday |
morning when he handed down a de-
cision affirming the decision of the
County Court in the appointment of
LEROY f. williams as administrator of
the estate of John S. Williams.

MRS. JENNIE WALKER, MOTHER
OF MAPLE cHINN FALlINGS,
PASSES AWAY

The sad news came to Denver early
Sunday morning that Mrs. Jennie
Walker, mother of Lee Walker, and
our own esteemed Mable Chinn Fall
ings, died suddenly at Casper, Wyo.,
where she has been making her home
for some time. Mrs. Walker was born
in Mississippi in the near vicinity of
Natchez, siXty-five years ago. She
had been resident of Colorado for
forty years and was active in the
church life of Shorter in its early
days. Her body was brought to Den
yer for interment and the funeral was
held Wednesday afternoon from the
CANNED Undertaking parlors.
The floral offerings were beautiful
and profuse. Rev. w. II. Thomas of
ficiated. The Colorado Statesman ex-
tends sympathy to the bereaved fam
lily, joining with the many friends who
have so generously sought to tighten
the burden of Mr.. Walker and Mrs.
Fallings.

CRIME WAVE DRAWS COLOR LINE

1t is not always that we approve OF
drawing the color line. In fact we
think we have been over jealous in OPP
posing all forms of racial discrimina-
ton, failing to take into account the
possible contingency when DUR position
might be regarded as untenable. OF
late Denver has been within the grip
of criminal element that has terror
lied all parts of the city. Baby BAN
dts, youthful bandits, and hardened
criminals have been sought and round
ed up by the police in frantic at
tempt to stop deeds of banditry, carried
on with such reckless abandon. How
ever, the "crime germ" seems to dis
criminate as to white and colored
races. So far the finger of guilt does
not point toward the Negro, nor does
the police department find it necessary
to order cleanup in the Negro Sec
ton. This is something new in Grim
inaI circles and we are duly grateful
for the distinction. On the whole, Den
yer has respectable class of Negro
citizens, a fact that stands out in bold
relief, during such period as the city
has been passing through recently.

Y. M. C. A. NOTES

The Hi-Y group held an interesting
meeting. The devotional hour was es-
pecially spicy, the subject being
prayer" Rev. j. L. Allen, leader of
the devotional hour, is greatly pleased
with the interest manifested on the
part of the boys.
The meeting at Zion church last
Sunday afternoon was one of the most
interesting held for some time. In
spite of the inclement weather n large
crowd was present. The subject was
"The Bootlegger-the Peril of Our
Times" The discussion was led off
by Mrs. L. +. Prince who spoke on
the "Bootlegger as Menace to So
ciety." Everybody was proud of her
as lady speaker. She was followed
up by Mr. II. X. Price who spoke on
the "Bootlegger and His Customers"
Counsellor S. Il. Cary spoke on "Out-
having the Bootlegger." The discus
sion was closed by DIR. S. A. Stripping,
speaking on the "Bootlegger and Pub
since so good Il set of addresses was
heard.
The inclement weather of the week
has tended to retard the work on the
new building. Up to that time rapid
progress was being made, and with
the clearing up of the weather it is
natural to suppose that the same pro-
gress will be maintained.
The meeting tomorrow Sunday af-
ternoon will be held at the Seventh
Day Adventist church, Ogden street
between 25th and 26th avenues. The
Rev. DR.. Percy Chandler Ladd, pastor
of the Plymouth Congregational
church will be the speaker. DIR. Ladd
ranks among the ablest ministers of
this city, and will give an inspiring
message. The meeting will be open to
everybody, and it is hoped that all the
friends will attend.

CENTRAL HAS HUGE
PAYROLL REPORT SHOWS

SAVANNAH, April 15.-That
the Central of Georgia Railroad had
prosperous year in 1922 and that
it now has more employees on it's
payrolls than ever in its history, are
outstanding facts in the twenty
ninth annual report which is being
now completed and prepared for
distribution to the stockholders.
Improved business condition are
cited and the gross receipts of the
road were the highest ever in any
year, amounting to $26, 1913, 848,
which was over twelve and one half
per cent above the preceding year,
or So, 912,116 increase over 1929.
The net railway operating income of
the road was, however, $3,944,872,
decrease of over SAT-, 900 from
the previous year. The decrease of
earnings was due, it was shown, al
most entirely to the increased cost
of maintenance. Improvements of
the service took up much necessary
investment of earnings. The oper-
ating expenses were over $21,000,-
600, an increase of over three mil
lion.

BUSINESSES SOUND
IN WHOLE SOUTHEAST
Governor WelIborn, of Atlanta
Federal Reserve Bank, Says
Banks Are Prosperous

ATLANTA, April 15.-General
business conditions in the Sixth
federal reserve district, which in
clndes the states of Georgia, Ala
hama and Florida, as we'll as por-
tions Of Tennessee, Mississippi ana
Louisiana, are on basis that ii
fundamentally sound, according 70
Hon. M. B. Wellborn, governor OF
the Federal Reserve Bank of At
lanta.
Governor Wellborn says that the
sharp lesson taught by the initiation
of 192O-1921 has not been forget
ten and has tended to promote eau
ton and conservatism.
"Ths banks in this district are
strong and prosperous and condi-
tions fairly good with the exception
of few exceptions where crop
failures have been experienced fol
the past two or three years" said
Governor Wellborn.
Manufacturing plants are re-
ceiving orders in sufficient album
dance to keep them operating on
full time, notably the steel indus
tries around Birmingham, the iror
pipe products at Admission, Alabama
and the numerous cotton mills OF
Alabama and Georgia."
Governor Wellborn called par
ticular attention to the fact that
there is a distinct movement Of
Eastern textile interests toward the
South, where climatic advantages
and ample labor insure good re-
suits.
There are indications of a more
systematic and determined fight
against the boil weevil and there
will probably be larger cotton
production in 1924 than was the
case last year, although the grow
ing tendency toward the long
preached doctrine of crop diversifi-
cation has made such Roadway that
a bumper cotton crop is unlikely
said Governor Wellborn. Restrict.
ed acreage, intensive cultivation
and the general use of calcium
arsenate and other insect poisons
of proven value will do much to
improve the condition of the COM
ing crop.
