A CHANGE OF NAME AND NOTH
ING MORE.
With this issue The Statesman will
■become known as "THE DENVER
STAR." The reason for the change
lies entirely in the confusion which
has existed for many years because of
the similarity of our name and that
of another paper. We believe that we
will best serve the community and
advance our own interests by making
the change and ending any confusion
which has existed. There is no
change of ownership, none of manage
ment, —in fact no change whatever
except the name. For a few weeks
we shall take steps to familiarize you
wiith The Star and then shall thrust
it forth into the journalistic sky
where we hope it may shine and light
the pathway of a struggling race bv
its ray. ALL HAIL "THE STA’R."
WHAT A CHANGE A FEW
MONTHS MAKE.
The proof of the pudding is in the
-eating. The United States will now
have the opportunity to know what
Democracy can do. Its victory is com
plete. We have maintained that it is
wrong. Maybe we are right. At any
rate, in a few months after it has tin
kered with tariff in an extra session
we will know.
Then we shall also know what to
expect from it concerning the rights
of colored citizens. The regularit y
with which Southern members of Con
gress have tried to have our consti
tutional rights abolished has made us
dread this day. Yet it is here, and the
best we can do is to watch and wait.
We hope Northern Democracy will
not join with* the South in such a
monstrous injustice. Yet it may. The
proof of the pudding is in the eating.
It was not long since that various
organizations and a multitude of peo
ple were clamoring for commission
form of government for Denver as the
best way to get rid of Speer and his
corrupt administration. Later they
found that they elected Arnold and
for a time the noise of the hammer
was stilled. Now again ths anvil
chorus is in full swing. Commission
form of government for Denver is
again urged as a panacea.. It appears
that the end is not yet. In the mean
while the poor taxpayer pays and
pays and pays. That is our one criti
cism of the whole mess. Whatever
good intentions the agitators have are
too costly for the good they will do.
Maybe we will have to undergo this
latest administrative experiment, but
we may expect to pay the piper if we
dance.
Jack Johnson is in limbo and seems
in a fairway to stay there. From the
day he won the championship in for
off Australia down to his last journey
in the police patrol, he has preferred
to be in the public eye as a Bohe
mian. He is deserving of no sympa
thy. The w’orld does not expect a
prizefighter to teach Sunday school,
but it does expect him not to be
flagrantly indecent.
DENVER PERSONALS.
ODD FELLOWS CELEBRATE ANNI
VERSARY.
The Odd Fellows of Arapahoe
Lodge celebrated the twenty-fifth an

marks were brief, those of the lodge
members being historical, and of the
guests being historical and congratu
latory. The lodge has acquired real
estate valued at $12,000 and has a
considerable sum in cash, since it was
organized. The guests were given
souvenir programs containing the
names and past honors of all mem
bers, the list of first and of present
officers, the list of the dead and the
names of the committee in charge.
