THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY A Good Sermon. "Is the Negro a Man," was the text of a Sermon By Dr. Cady of Dubuque, Ia. He Lashes Dixon, Tillman and Other Race Agitators. VOL. XII. A Good "Is the Negro a Man," was the Cady of Dubuque, Ia. H and Other Ra A recent issue of the Globe-Journal, of Dubuque, Ia., contained the following: "The Clansman or is the Negro a Man?" was the subject of a rather sensational sermon by Dr. Geo L. Cady at the First Congregational church on Sunday evening. The sermon was brought about by the recent production at the Grand of "The Clansman," a play founded on a novel of the same name from the pen of Rev. Thomas Dixon. Dr. Cady lashed the author in no uncertain terms, saying in part: The race problem is not to be solved by race hatred but by realizing that the destiny of the South is as much in the hands of the Negro as of the whites and they will both rise or fall together, for no man ever yet rose on the neck of another and no race ever built a kingdom out of the ruins of another. The solvent is not to be found with Tillman by "sending a few more niggers to hell" for the man who sends another man to hell here or beyond goes with him. It is not to be solved by the lurid and despisable sentiments of "The Leopard Spots" and "The Clansman," for, unless race hatred is illayed and not aroused, there will be a race war and it is not at all sure as to yet that it will be the Negro who goes to hell any more than the white man—it is more than likely in such a conflict that both will get more of it than they want. Nothing could be more unfortunate just now when the best men of the South are putting their brains and hearts to solve the Negro question, not by extinguishing him, but by uplifting him, and when the whole teachings of Christianity and progress is crying for less race prejudice, than that Tom Dixon should have launched his novels upon the public and should go about with his play funning all that is worst in us to new life and create murder in our hearts. At the play. I heard a lady say, "I'd like to kill that nigger," and another said, "When I came out I wanted to kill every nigger I saw." Anything that creates that feeling is dangerous and criminal and the man who is guilty of it is a traitor to the commonwealth. A play that sends men out as it was in the South and North alike crying "Kill! Kill! We want blood, blood!" is a play which deserves your unadulterated contempt and its author your unalloyed loathing. The man who dares to send forth out of the depths of his soul, "The One Woman," and so far forget his manhood and Christianity as to belch forth these last two novels, is one who deserves only literary and social ostracism. If your nature will not rest until you have "blood," if you must get up a "necktie party" to satisfy the longings of your soul, you will do more to promote the peace of society and the progress of the human race if you will take Tom Dixon out, than as though you strung up a hundred ignorant Negroes. "He is immoral." This is the truest indictment which has been brought against the Negro. He is immoral, fearfully and degradingly immoral, and it is the lament both of the leaders of the South and of his own race. He was stolen nearly three hundred years ago from the wilds of Africa and after three hundred years contract with the white man he is still immoral? You denied him the possession of a soul and you called him a beast and in all the years he was with you you treated him as one. The charge that he is immoral is the worst indictment that can be brought against slavery and the slaves' late master, for it took less than a year for Robert Moffat to tame the beast and make a moral man out of an Africaner in the jungles of Africa and if slavery was such a beneficient institution it ought to have more to show for the three hundred years in which the slave was in daily contact with the Christian white man. But morality is not a growth of a day and cannot be tied into life in a night. It took 1500 years of civilization and Christianity to evolute out of barbarism a Tillman and a Dixon and still they have the molars, the claws and the blood-thirst of the beast of prey, and it took forty years to solve from slavery a Booker Washington who could say, "I will never allow any man to drag me down by making me hate him." I have heard it rumored that there are white thieves, white murderers, white rapists, white bribers of legislatures, and it has been whispered lately that there have been white looters of life insurance funds—"first pluck out the beam out of thy white eye and then shalt thou see clearly to pluck out the note out of thy brother's eye," and in DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JUNE 30, 1906. sight of God it can only be a mote when we consider our superior advantages and from what he so recently has come. But the impression that seems to prevail and to watch Tom Dixon so effectively appeals to the galleries, that the antipathy to the Negro rises from his crime against womanhood, is simply not true. Lawlessness is never right and lynching is always a crime. But if the death penalty was ever to be defended better as a punishment for this most devlish of all crimes than for any other. No punishment is too severe for such a fiend and I would have less and almost nothing to say if lynching parties were confined to those who have been guilty of this astrocious crime against womanhood. But what are the facts? Between the years of 1896 and 1900 there were 504 lynchings and of these only 96 were for rape, 179 for murder and 224 have to be put down for mere race prejudice. But what is the difference to the girl or the woman whether it be a black man or a white man who takes from her the most precious possession of her life? And yet if it be a white man what do you do? Why you let the law take its course or you do often just what was done with the young man who made such an attempt last year in Dubuque—get together and sign petitions and move heaven and earth to get him free and even try to get him from the clutches of justice after he is landed in the penitentiary, whereas if he had been a Negro he would have been strung up to the first telegraph pole. I do not complain so much about the punishment meted out—I complain only about the discrimination as to whether a black or white man commits the crime and as to whether it is committed against a white or a black woman. IT'S HELL IT'S HELL In America for the Negro Says the Nashville Clarion. Hell lies near us, all around us. This world is the hardest for every man whose liberties are ruthlessly stolen from him. To be a slave means hell to every courageous man, and deliverance from bondage of any kind is the beginning of man's heaven upon earth. With his right to vote taken away and the statute books full of untest laws, to be executed by prejudiced jurors the Negro does not sit down in heavenly places anywhere in this American country. He has as much of hell here as he can stand. It is to be hoped, therefore that he will have no more of it when he leaves these mundane shores. The National Baptist convention will meet at Memphis, Tenn. this year instead of Los Angeles. Cal. The Austin Watchman says: "Money talks, but it is always in a hurry to say 'good bye' to the average colored man." Tom Lockwood, a white man, was arrested near Manor. Texas, last week on a charge of aggravated assault. He struck Miss Annie Eppwright, a colored girl, with a plow point. Colored people own and manage a first-class steamer called' the "Jane Moseley." It is equipped with thirty elegant state rooms and licensed by the United States steamboat inspectors to carry excursion parties to all points on the Chesapeake bay and the Potomac river. A Negro was shot and killed at Juvett, Texas, last week by a policeman for beating his way on a freight train. He had been working for the railroad company and was on his way to his home at Oakland, Tex. No arrest. It is no more to kill a Negro than a chicken or a rabbit. Mayor McConnell of Franklin, Pa., appointed an Afro-American to the police force as soon as he was sworn in but the council refused to confirm his appointment. The mayor announced that his appointee woud serve any way, if he had to appoint him from month to month, but the council says no provision will be made for his salary. Washington, D. C.—The complete records of rifle, pistol and carbine firing of the United States Army for 1905, just published, show Abraham Hill, colored, a Sergeant in the Twenty-fourth Infantry, Department of Dakota, to be the best shot in the army. The percentage of possible shots made by him on slow fire, time fire and skirmish fire was 86.33. Two Faces Under One Hat. Senator Tillman of South Carolina, assails the Negro more viciously than any man in public life. He passed a bill disfranchising them when he was governor. He held up the nomination of Crum for Collector of Customs at Charleston for four years because Crum is a Negro. Yet the superintendent of his plantation is "Ben," a Negro he has had with him for 25 years and in whose charge he leaves his family and all his interests when he goes to Washington to legislate against him and his race. Personally he appears to be the friend of the black man but politically he is his worst enemy.—Austin Watchman. A NEGROS REPLY A NEGROS REPLY Prof. Kelly Miller of Howard University, Washington, D. C., replies in an open letter to a white man as follows: Your fundamental thesis is that "no amount of education of any kiud, industrial, classical or religious, can make a Negro a white man or bridge the chasm of the centuries which separates him from the white man in the evolution of human history." This doctrine is as old as human oppression. Calhoun made it the arch stone in the defense of Negro slavery—and lost. This is but a recrudescence of the doctrine which was exploited and exploded during the anteslavery struggle. Do you recall the school of pro-slavery scientists who demonstrated beyond doubt that the Negro's skull was too thick to comprehend the substance of Aryan knowledge? Have you not read in the discordited scientific books of that period with what triumphant acclaim it was shown that the Negro's shape and size of skull, facial angle, and cephalic configuration rendered him forever impervious to the white man's civilization? But all enlightened minds are now as ashamed of that doctrine as they are of the one-time doctrine that the Negro had no soul. We become aware of mind through its manifestations. Within forty years of only partial opportunity, while playing as it were in the backyard of civilization, the American Negro has cut down his illiteracy by over 50 per cent.; has produced a professional class some fifty thousand strong, including ministers, teachers, doctors, lawyers, editors, authors, architects, engineers, and all higher lines of listed pursuits in which white men are engaged. That Negroes in the average are not equal in developed capacity to the white race, is a proposition which it would be as simple to affirm as it is silly to deny. The Negro represents a backward race which has not yet taken a commanding part in the progressive movement of the world. In the great cosmic scheme of things, some races reach the limelight of civilization ahead of others.. But that temporary forwardness does not argue inherent superiority is as evident as any fact of history NO. 40. An unfriendly environment may hinder and impede the one, while fortunate circumstances may quicken and spur the other. Relative superiority is only a transient phase of human development.

Good Thing for Consumptives Who Can Afford It, But Trolley Cars May Be Used Instead. Ten thousand miles of automobiling a year instead of cod liver oil and bronchial tablets may be a future prescription for those afflicted with delicate throats and threatened with pulmonary disease. Why not walking or driving? Just as good for some patients, say the doctors, but not quite so convenient. The automobile is recommended to those who would be cured without exile from home, says the New York Sun. The patient lives in New York, or Boston, or Philadelphia, of Baltimore. None of these cities has a climate specially recommended for throat or lung diseases. Six months, a year, two years, half a life time in the Adirondacks or Colorado used to be the remedy and still is for many. This meant and means exile from home and friends and the society of fellow sufferers. The automobile means a residence at home for at least eight months in the year. From any one of the cities named the possession of an automobile enables the patient to command mountain air within a few hours whenever he will. It means Saturday to Monday trips that may take the patient and his friends 150 miles from the coast. It means on any fine day the possibility of getting from 1,200 to 2,000 feet above sea level and remaining in the open air for 15 hours. Swift touring cars of current make render the traveler independent of hotels, day or night, at meal time or at any time. Perhaps some of them carry hot bathtubs. The patient with rapid change of scene, plenty of company, and a perpetual picnic forgets that all this traveling is done for health, and the health sometimes comes before the patient quite realizes th change. He is not restricted to any particular route. Some of the doctors begin to suspect that the mountain air is not really a necessity. There are men and women who have profited wonderfully just riding about their own neighborhood and seldom getting 40 miles from home. There are stories of women who have cured themselves of serious bronchial ailments by spending the larger part of every day in little machines that they can manage themselves. Most of the time such automobilists keep within easy return of home. They get variety into their rides by choosing different routes each day for a week and taking a different companion of voyage every two or three days. One such woman in Boston became so much the mistress of her machine that she could not only drive it with ease, but actually take it apart and put it together again. The absorbing interest of new knowledge probably had something to do with the cure that followed. Hers was the fresh air cure plus frequent change of scene and a new and absorbing interest. Of course eight or ten hours daily in the open air makes it practically impossible that such a patient shall sleep, in a close roooh. The fresh air treatment thus goes on while the patient sleeps. Of course, the automobile treatment is for the well-to-do. But there are cynical doctors who suspect that just the plain open trolley car will do wonders for those who cannot buy motor cars or hire chauffeurs. If a man or woman has nothing to do but see health, the open trolley car may be etiched at its best. I. N. ROGERS. C. A. ROGERS I.N.

DRAWING ON JULY SECOND Only About Half the Applicants Can Get Land—and Only Half the Land Is Really Valuable. Billings, Mont. — Registration for Crow reservation lands closed Thursday and Commissioner W. A. Richards of the General Land Office figures that on a basis of about 15,000 registrations nearly one in every two applicants will secure homesteads at the drawing which begins here next Monday. This does not mean that all will draw big prizes in the government's distribution of land, for Commissioner Richards thinks that not more than half of the 6,500 homesteads will prove capable of cultivation. The really valuable lands will all be included in the first 125 drawings. Then will come a few hundred allotments of fair ranch land, and most of the remainder will be merely fit for grazing purposes, so that the prize winners will be known a few hours after the drawing begins Monday morning. "People should not lose their heads over these reservation openings," said Commissioner Richards, who has conducted all of the government lotteries since the first Oklahoma drawing, and who has always done his utmost to counteract the mischievous effects of overzealous booming. "While I have not been over the Crow reservation, I am convinced it is about equal in value to the Shoshone or Wind River reservation in Wyoming, which will be opened in about a month. I should say that about half the land on the Wind River reservation is land that ranges from excellent to fair. The rest is only fit for grazing. There are about 6,500 allotments set aside. Dividing these in half leaves 3,250 homesteads that may be said to be worth striving for. It should be remembered also, that the element of speculation cannot enter. The one who registers must be ready to live upon his land, or he forfeits it. Even if he makes the first payment of $1 per acre and then relinquishes, his lands go to the first claimant. This is done to encourage bona fide settlement. "These latter pay $4 per acre for his land after he draws a homestead. Thus the reservation opening for the bulk of those who draw lands is what is known as a 'poor man's proposition.' These things I am telling merely to give the people a fair and just idea of what is demanded of them in these openings. The greatest benefit derived from reservation openings comes in the settling of lands outside the reservation. At the Rosebud reservation for sixty days after the opening, there were more filings on outside land than on the lands of the reservation. Shrewd homeseekers say they could get just as good lands near the reservation as on it, and they did not have to pay the $4 per acre, nor did they have to pay to enter a drawing, where they stood little chance of winning." The Crow reservation registration has been kept down because the government purposely barred the large cities as points of registration. Most of those who registered had to pay railroad fare, and are presumably bona fide homeseekers. For the same reason only the little towns of Lander, Shoshoni, Worland and Thermopolis have been designated as registration places for the Shoshone reservation opening. BUILDING APPROPRIATIONS. Denver to Get More Money and Colorado Springs Less. Washington.—The Senate public buildings committee held an all-night session Wednesday night to consider the House buildings bill, and this morning reported it to the Senate with many changes, some of these being reductions from the House figures and others increases and additions of new buildings and sites. One of the most important changes was the addition of an item of $500,000 for a site for a new public building at Denver. Other changes in Colorado are a reduction in the amount for enlargement of the Colorado Springs building from $100,000 to $75,000; a reduction for a building at Trinidad from $60,000 to $50,000; in Wyoming-the item of $115,000 for Sheridan is increased to $140,000; the item of $10,000 for a site at Rawlins is increased to $80,000 for site and building; $5,000 is added to the cost limit of the building at Evanston, and $7,500 is added for a site for a building at Lander. The Senate added $4,084,500 to the bill as it passed the House. Stockholders Are Liable. Denver.—The stockholders of the Denver Savings Bank, which failed last August, are liable for $375,000, twice the value of their holdings in the defunct institution when it closed its doors and went into the hands of a receiver. Judge Theron Stevens, who has been hearing the case, in the absence of Judge Frank T. Johnson of the District Court, has announced this decision. The heaviest judgments are against John B. Farrish, the Joslin Dry Goods Company, Julia L. Barnard, Carlos Wood, J. K. Mullen and H. V. Barnard. Several of the stockholders have already served notice of an appeal to the Supreme Court. Dowie's Account Short. Chicago.—In the hearing of the Dowie case before Judge Landis in the federal court Thursday E. E. Harwood, teller in the Zion City Bank, testified that the books of the Bank show that Dowie's account is overdrawn $481,237. He said that since 1899 Dowie has drawn money from the bank at the rate of $84,000 a year. From the nature of the checks, Mr. Harwood said it appeared that this money had been used by Dowie for personal expenses. He produced further figures purporting to show that the overdrafts of the various Zion City industries since 1899 amounted to $657,900. unity to win—to get more than a run for your mance to lose.

It is no great wonder. Politics is business and business is politics. The two are so inseparably woven there is hardly any telling where one begins and the other ends. Corporations employ attorneys and men to look after the political end of their business and it is natural for these hired employees to do what they are paid for. Officeholders and taxpayers ailke have interests to conserve. It is natural, therefore, that this trinity of interests should at times conflict and find themselves at different angles. The thing that seems fair and reasonable is for each of these interests to take an intelligent view of the courtesy, respect and consideration due the other. The trouble that has arisen, and what tends to split the parties into factions in Denver is the unwillingness of these different interests to "play fair." It is the "all hog" spirit of one one of these interests to ignore the other and deprive them of their just portion that has caused all of the trouble that Denver politics is now experiencing. Blind partisanship to one interest and ignoring the just consideration of others is what is playing havoc with the powers that be. It is at this point that the colored people find their fault. They ask for nothing but what is fair and just. Simply give us what is our due in proportion to our votes, loyalty and service and we will be content; anything less we can not accept. Let the party deal fair with the business interests, with the officeholders, with the taxpayers and workers, and there will be harmony and success, but let it do otherwise and there will continue to be trouble. Is it not time for the leaders to see the situation and adjust the differences on a fair and equitable basis and save the wrangling and disturbance that is bound to ensue so long at injustice is done any faction? THE FORTUNE OF MISFORTUNE. The Negro has a great deal to be thankful for in his misfortunes. This is a fact as far as our race progress is concerned. To the right kind of a man or woman misfortune is both an education and a blessing when taken advantage of. Let us recite a few instances. The Negroes of Denver have a great misfortune in trying to rent houses. What is the result? They save their money and buy or build homes of their own. They have the misfortune not to be served in barber shops and restaurants. What is the result? They open business of their own. They have the misfortune not be received courteously in white churches. Result, houses of worship and good preachers of their own. They are not received graciously into white secret orders. Result, they have fraternities, endowments and insurance of their own. White journals will not publish the best doings of our race, only the crimes and lewdness. Result, newspapers of our own. This misfortune ought to go further. It ought to encourage enterprising colored men to build houses for colored tenants. It ought to encourage us to build a hall in Denver and to purchase a park for our picnics and to do a lot of things we are not yet doing. It is surprising how much of Colored people's money the Floto show carried off because the show people were wise enough to have colored performers. When prejudice, bad luck, misfortune or what ever you choose to call it is upon us, one of two things must happen, we give in and misfortune conquors or we prove our strength and nobility by rising above it. This is what the Negro has always done and he will do more of it in the future. We are not quitters, not much of it. If people don't respect us we will respect ourselves If they won't rent us houses we will buy them or build them. Learn to take advantage of your disadvantages; others have. Byron's misshaped leg, fashioned like that of a gorilla, simply forced him into mental effort and won for him a place and name of a great poet. If you can't make it one way go at something else. There are plenty things in the world to do and to be. Don't let color down you, make it a stepping stone if anything and fight it out. Make the best of it and it will make the best of you. As our own Lucas says; "get the best out of this world but don't let the world get the best of you." FRATERNAL AND BENEVOLENT ORGANIZATIONS. The Negro has unnumerable organizations, in fact the race is organized to the point of suffocation. Each of these organizations may be good per se. We are not finding fault with them, but we give sanction to the suggestion of Supreme Chancellor S. W. Starks of the Knights of Pythias that these orders form a "friendly society union" for the purpose of combining the strength of the organized Negro for the purpose of combating the evils confronting the race. This subject was discussed at the recent biennial session of the Supreme Lodge K. of P. and given official approval. It is now up to other fraternities to fall into line and vote for such a union. Now what would be the value of such a union? First, it would be a counting house of Negro fraternal societies. Second, it would enable them to weed out the grafters and hypocrites among these orders. Third, it would enable them to see the good in each other. Fourth, it might induce several orders to consolidate, thereby reducing the number and saving the expenses and conserving the strength of each. Fifth, this united body could discover means whereby the rights of the Negro could be protected and Jim Crowism and disfranchisement could be fought. Sixth, it could put into operation measures that would be helpful to every member of the race. Seventh, if such a union could leave out of the discussion who is "the biggest gentleman" among us and earnestly get down to measures calculated to inspire the race along practical lines it would solidly and unitedly be the greatest blessing that could come to the race. If a basis of mutual action could be settled upon it would draw the Negro fraternal orders into a movement that could accomplish wonders. Once this action becomes legal, intermittent and and spasmodic efforts would cease and a regular income would be provided sufficient to carry the Negro's case into courts and force from hesitating and unwilling judges equal and exact justice. Time would be necessary to effect this movement and care and wisdom to direct it. But we have the men, we have the organization, we have the patience, collectively we have the money. Then why not have the union? We believe the wisest and best among us see the need, and once the way is open and the possibilities discovered, we believe it will come. So mote it be. LUCAS IN KANSAS CITY Speaking of Alzamon Ira Lucas, the Kansas City daily papers has many good things to say of him. Editorially, the Globe says in part: A few months ago there came to Kansas City, Kansas, a gentlemanly industrious young man whose name is Alzamon Ira Lucas. "Fake" said some, while others were inclined to listen to his teachings, with a view of passing judgment later. As the whole city knows Lucas has been fully vindicated, as far as the charge of insincerity is concerned, and he stands to-day, on the eve of his departure, a respected and honored man, not only among his scores of followers, but as well with the city at large, every one of whose residents are familiar with Lucas and his teachings. There is a peculiarity about Lucas that is inexplainable until he is better known. He seems to harbor no secrets, yet his whole life is a secret until the interested person becomes a student of his theories. Unassuming, generous to a fault and with a heart full of charity for all, this man has made a place for himself that will remain unoccupied until the date of his return, which he promises shall be within the next two years. When he does re-enter the city, it will be with a welcome such as has never before been accorded a preceptor of a strange doctrine. Bulder Notes. The District Coniference and Sunday School Convention of the A. M. E. church convened in Allen Chapel last week and was the most complete one ever held. Each delegate came prepared to work and entered with the zeal and earnestness that characterizes a follower of God. All the subjects were full of inspiration and spiritual food for all who listened to their discourses. Rev. Geo. W Tolson and his good people deserve much credit for the way the conference and convention was entertained in this little city. his time, after the introduction of the telegraph. He made a record for the Pittsburg division—Altoona to this city—that stood for years as the beacon to venturesome engine drivers. He was running the famous John Bull locomotive and his time was a little more than five hours. Engineer Courson holds the record now. He brought No. 29 over on its third run in two hours and five minutes. This record may stand as long as Eldley's, as a "quarantine" order has been issued making two hours ten minutes the limit of speed for the division. The schedule of No. 29 is two hours twenty minutes. Her Modest Wish. Mrs. Clarence H. Mackay, the new member of the school board of Roslyn, L. L., made an informal little speech when her election was announced to her. "I am glad to get this post," she said, "but I hope I am not selfishly, not greedily glad. There is no harm in our desiring reasonable, moderate things, but when we desire too much then we merit blame. Then—" here Mrs. Mackay smiled—"we are like a little child whom I talked to yesterday. "This little child's birthday comes next week, and I said to her: "Do you want me to give you a birthday present!" "And what kind of a doll,' I asked, 'shall it be?' "She thought a moment. Then she said, eagerly: "I'll think I'll take trump." "I think I'll take twins. Reversing Things They had just finished breakfast and the woman of the future was about to start downtown, when her husband arose from the table, placed his arms about her neck and kissed her. "Dearest," he murmured softly, "I love you more than words can tell." "Oh, you do, eh?" she rejoined, suspiciously. "What is it now—a new silk hat or a pair of trousers?" A Drying Back: "I should think that merry-go-round the boys have built in the back yard would make your head reel?" "It doesn't; but on wash day it makes my clothes reel."

Neutral Tints Safest for Floor and Walls—Woodwork Should Harmonize—No Pretentious Pictures. The floor and walls of a room are its most conspicuous features, so should be neither brilliant nor "patchy." Neutral tints are the safest to select for carpets, and the smaller the figure the better. Even in cheap papers, soft, delicate colors may be obtained, which will not offend the eyes or quarrel with pictures hung against them. The gray and dull red building papers are better wall coverings than are gaudy, pronounced patterns in ordinary paper. Woodwork should harmonize with the walls. Graining should be avoided and white paint not used by those who cannot afford to have it given the attention necessary to keep it spotless. If black paint be selected (and in some color schemes it adds much to the effect) it should have a dull finish, and it requires brass hardware to relieve its somberness. A dull oil-finished stain is usually satisfactory. Good pictures give unfailing pleasure, but their selection requires taste and judgment. The half-tone illustrations found in our magazines serve a better purpose than pretentious pictures of poor workmanship; and simple passepartout bindings than ill-constructed frames. Furniture should be simple, in harmony with the style of the house and the coloring of the room in which it is to be placed—Prairie Farmer. A TUCKED NET YOKE. Very Pretty Yokes and Chemisettes Are Made of Net Tucked Longwise and Crosswise. One of the prettiest yokes or chemisettes seen this season is made of one net, or wash blond as it is sometimes called. It is first tucked lengthwise of the net, then tucked crosswise to form squares. The tucks may be from one-eighth to one-quarter of an inch wide, and the squares from one-half to one and one-half inches across, as one prefers. Some machines will stitch this material without trouble, while with others it is necessary to lay it on thin paper while stitching, to prevent a ruffled appearance. When the squares are made no larger than an inch across, no extra trimming is required, but when they are made larger, the spaces seem so open that a little fancy work is needed to relieve them. Nothing is pretier for the purpose than a clover leaf of tatting in each square, making it of cotton or silk to correspond with the material of which the waist is made. A very small darned-net pattern can be worked in with good effect. Use linen floss or silk for the work. These yokes and chemisettes are fine for muslin or mull waists or can be used with good effect on thin silk ones. -Ohio Farmer. The Artistic Salad. The salad of to-day is a rapid evolution from the dictionary definition: "Leaves eaten raw," or "A preparation of uncooked herbs usually dressed with salt, vinegar and oil and eaten for giving a relisa to other food," one reads in an article on "Salads-Artistic and Hygienic," in the June Delineator. "An up-to-date salad includes many combinations of vegetables or of fruit, sometimes both vegetables and fruit together. It owes its present honorable position to discoveries of its many enticing varieties and aesthetic possibilities. Used with the addition of nuts, it becomes a very important part of the meal, not merely something to arouse a jade appetite. Among the many discoveries of salad material may be mentioned tips of asparagus, uncooked potatoes, both Irish and sweet, cut in small cubes, grated carrots and grated beetles." All the possible combinations of these ingredients are set forth in detail and in a way to tempt the palate, and there are, in addition, a variety of recipes for vegetables, pastry, etc. A chapter on summer housekeeping, in "The Progress of a Housewife, rounds out the section of the magazine which is devoted to domestic problems. Artistic Candle Shades. Three dainty candle shades were recently made to order by an artist. White crape paper, tinted the shade of crab apple blossoms, on the lower part of the ruffle, which fell over the shade, produced a charming effect. On the upper rim of the foundation was laid an encircling wreath of crab apple blossoms and buds, fashioned from white crape paper, tinted with water colors, the buds being colored pale or deep, to correspond with the flowers. Nervous Dyspepsia You cannot gain flesh if you have nervous dyspepsia. Adopt some very simple diet, such as milk, for several weeks, and see if that will not help you Cod-liver oil is good to rub on the chest to fatten it, but if you use olive oil for the purpose take care to have only the very best quality. Any other might be harmful. Clean Them at Home Coat linings and light facings that have become soiled, can be cleaned home by moistening a clean piece of white flannel with benzoline and rubbing the soiled part carefully one way. Bread Pudding Bread Pudding. One and one-half slices of bread, one pint of milk, two eggs, piece of butter as large as English walnut. Sugar to taste. Salt and a little nutmeg.

The picnic of Colorado Pioneers set for Saturday, June 23d at Elditch's Gardens, in Denver, was postponed until the next Saturday on account of the storm. Fremont county is one of the few counties in the state that is entirely out of debt and has money in banks. In the last four years it has accumulated $40,000 above all expenses. The school census of Larimer county taken in April shows the total number of persons of school age is 7,560. This is nearly double the number reported in the school census of 1900, showing a rapid growth. The commissioner of the General Land Office has withdrawn from public settlement, to be included in the Fruita forest reserve, 198,000 acres of public lands in Mesa county, near Grand Junction and Fruita. Twenty-two miles of the gigantic Colorado Fuel and Iron Company's canal to supply the steel works with water from the Arkansas river have been completed, and the workmen are now within eight miles of Pueblo. John Ivey died at Central City, June 26th, from injuries received by the falling of a rock in the After Supper mine at Black Hawk. He leaves a widow and three small children, and was a member of the A. O. U. W. Judge Ben B. Lindsey of Denver says that he has never refused five million dollars, or any other sum of money, from John D. Rockefeller for juvenile reform work. One good reason is that Mr. Rockefeller has made no offer of money. Farmers in the eastern part of El Paso county are planning to erect a $50,000 flour mill at Peyton, as a result of the success of the durum, or macaroni wheat planting. Twenty thousand acres have been planted, and the crop is expected to be over twenty bushels to the acre. Dr. S. E. Solly, the prominent Colorado Springs physician who was recently taken to Chicago in a special car for the benefit of his health, is said to be much improved. Dr. Solly will probably never be able to reside in Colorado, and will make his future home in California. At Victor, June 23d, Michael J. Gilmore, aged forty-eight years, a timberman at the Portland mine, was caught between the cage and the shaft and killed, being dragged upward to the 200-foot level, where the bdy was recovered. He leaves a widow and six children, the oldest a boy of fourteen. The forty-second grand lodge meeting and twentieth annual reunion of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks will be held at Denver July 16th to 20th. The gathering will not be restricted to Elks alone—the dears are coming with them, and the Colorado game laws have been abrogated for the occasion. Convicts working on the new county road at Brewster, near Florence, dug up a part of a skeleton of a monster prehistoric animal. It is a leg bone eight feet long, ten inches across and six inches thick in the narrowest place. It is partially petrified. An effort will be made to locate other portions of the skeleton. Mitchell Benedict, of the law firm of Benedict and Phelps, one of the pioneer lawyers of Denver and a man of prominence in his profession, died at Asbury Park, New Jersey, June 23d from heart disease. Judge Benedict was a Civil War veteran, having been a captain in the Twelfth Pennsylvania and acting as a provost judge. William McPherson and John Tetlow, who were badly injured by the explosion of a missed shot at the Ingleside limestone quarries, are still in the hospital at Fort Collins, and not likely to get out for some time. Neither is aware of the loss of his sight, as their heads have been kept bandaged ever since the accident, and they have not been informed of that fact. Plans for the $25,000 building of the Y. M. C. A. to be located in West Denver near the Denver & Rio Grande shops, are being completed by the railway department of the association. Helen Miller Gould has promised a donation and with the $16,000 in the treasury of the organization, the structure will be erected. The Denver & Rio Grande will pay for the site. Daniel Witter, a widely-known Colorado pioneer and prominent land attorney in Denver, died June 22d. He held the position of miners' judge, member of the Legislature, collector of internal revenue for Colorado, vice president of the first street railway in Denver, of the Denver Safe Deposit and Savings Bank, and of the Denver Water Company. He was the first Republican nominee for governor of Colorado. Plans are being prepared for a new water works system to be installed by Rockvale, near Florence, to cost about $20,000. The old reservoir will be abandoned and a new one, holding 25,000,000 gallons, will be excavated three miles south of the town. A new water source has been discovered about six miles up Oak Creek and the water will be piped to the camp. The money will be raised by citizens, the town to pay them six per cent. Arrangements are being made by a number of the citizens of Pueblo to dig up from South Union avenue the stump of the famous old tree that stood in that thoroughfare until 1885, mention of which is given in the early history of Colorado and which was the scene of many lynchings and Indian gatherings long before there was any Pueblo. This stump is about eight feet below the surface of the street, having been buried by the building up of the grade. C. H. Drage and his three sons, Vivian, Leonard and Ralph, were struck by lightning during a thunderstorm June 22nd, on their ranch, three miles southeast of Loveland. They were all knocked down and rendered unconscious. The lightning struck Mr. Drage on the head, singing the hair from the right side of his head and taking off a portion of his mustache, severely burning his right side, melting the stem of his watch and tearing his shoe to pieces. ... WHAT JOY THEY BRING TO EVERY HOME as with joyous hearts and smiling faces they romp and play—when in health—and how conducive to health the games in which they indulge, the outdoor life they enjoy, the cleanly, regular habits they should be taught to form and the wholesome diet of which they should partake. How tenderly their health should be preserved, not by constant medication, but by careful avoidance of every medicine of an injurious or objectionable nature, and if at any time a remedial agent is required, to assist nature, only those of known excellence should be used; remedies which are pure and wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, like the pleasant laxative remedy, Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. Syrup of Figs has come into general favor in many millions of well informed families, whose estimate of its quality and excellence is based upon personal knowledge and use. Syrup of Figs has also met with the approval of physicians generally, because they know it is wholesome, simple and gentle in its action. We inform all reputable physicians as to the medicinal principles of Syrup of Figs, obtained, by an original method, from certain plants known to them to act most beneficially and presented in an agreeable syrup in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to promote the pleasant taste; therefore it is not a secret remedy and hence we are free to refer to all well informed physicians, who do not approve of patent medicines and never favor indiscriminate self-medication. Please to remember and teach your children also that the genuine Syrup of Figs always has the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—plainly printed on the front of every package and that it is for sale in bottles of one size only. If any dealer offers any other than the regular Fifty cent size, or having printed thereon the name of any other company, do not accept it. If you fail to get the genuine you will not get its beneficial effects. Every family should always have a bottle on hand, as it is equally beneficial for the parents and the children, whenever a laxative remedy is required.

Eczema Broke Out Also on Hands and Limbs—An Old Soldier Declares: "Cuticura Is a Blessing." "At all times and to all people I am willing to testify to the merits of Cuticura. It saved me from worse than the tortures of hades, about the year 1900, with itching on my scalp and temples, and afterwards it commenced to break out on my hands. Then it broke out on my limbs. I then went to a surgeon whose treatment did me no good; but rather aggrivated the disease. I then told him I would go and see a physician in Erie. The reply was that I could go anywhere, but a case of eczema like mine could not be cured; that I was too old (80). I went to an eminent doctor in the city of Erie and treated with him for six months, with like results. I had read of the Cuticura Remedies, and so I sent for the Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Resolvent, and continued taking the Resolvent until I had taken six bottles, stopping it to take the Pills. I was now getting better. I took two baths a day and at night I let the lather of the Soap dry on. I used the Ointment with great effect after washing in warm water, to stop the itching at once. I am now cured. The Cuticura treatment is a blessing, and should be used by every one who has itching of the skin. I can't say any more, and thank God that He has given the world such a curative. Wm. H. Gray, 3303 Mount Vernon St., Philadelphia, Pa., August 2, 1905." TEETH THAT WERE USELESS Puzzle to the Man Who Had Suddenly Sustained the Loss of Them. Harry Leon Wilson, author of "The Spenders," was domiciled for a summer in Connecticut with a colony of artists and writers, all of whom had to go into the city every day, relates the Saturday Evening Post. Wilson was doing nothing but loafing. He loafed artistically, and from time to time met and had fun with some of the natives of the place. One day he found two men in the road who seemed congenial, and he struck up an acquaintance with them. He proposed a drive and they got a surrey and two horses. "Can you drive?" asked Wilson. "Sure," one of his sudden friends replied. "I am a fine driver." They got aboard and started down the road. Before they had gone half a mile the team was frightened by a passing automobile and ran away. The driver valiantly steered the horses into a telegraph pole and Wilson and his two friends were thrown helter-skelter into the road. Wilson slowly gathered himself together. One of his friends was sitting in the ditch rubbing his bruises and the other stood in the middle of the road gazing in tearful misery at two front teeth which he held in the palm of his hand. "Pretty lucky escape, wasn't it?" asked Wilson, for want of something better to say. "Yes," replied the man with the teeth, weeping afresh, "but please, oh, please, tell me, what shall I do with these?" FOREIGN FINANCE. Great Britain's public revenue in April, the first month of the fiscal year, amounted to £418,895, and expenditures, £21,360,361. New capital issued in London from January 1 to May 5, amounted to $288,788,915, as against $434,216,505 in the same period in 1905. Total operations of the Bank of Japan in the year 1905 amounted to $14,578,127,060, an increase of $5,744,106,420 compared with 1904. The annual report of the Banque de Paris for 1905 shows that net profits amounted to only 10,804,883 francs, against 19,411,421 francs in 1904. A loan of 100,000,000 francs will be shortly put on the Paris market for the French colonies in West Africa. The greater part is intended for Senegal and the Upper Niger, to improve the navigation on the two rivers. THE DOCTOR'S WIFE Agrees with Him About Food. A trained nurse says: "In the practice of my profession I have found so many points in favor of Grape-Nuts food that I unhesitatingly recommend it to all my patients. "It is delicate and pleasing to the palate (an essential in food for the sick) and can be adapted to all ages, being softened with milk or cream for babies or the aged when deficiency of teeth renders mastication impossible. For fever patients or those on liquid diet I find Grape-Nuts and albumen water very nourishing and refreshing. This recipe is my own idea and is made as follows: Soak a teaspoonful of Grape-Nuts in a glass of water for an hour, strain and serve with the beaten white of an egg and a spoonful of fruit juice or flavoring. This affords a great deal of nourishment that even the weakest stomach can assimilate without any distress. "My husband is a physician and he uses Grape-Nuts himself and orders it many times for his patients. "Personally I regard a dish of Grape-Nuts with fresh or stewed fruit as the ideal breakfast for anyone—well or sick." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. In any case of stomach trouble, nervous prostration or brain fag, a 10 days' trial of Grape-Nuts will work wonders toward nourishing and rebuilding, and in this way ending the trouble. "There's a reason" and trial proves. Look in pkgs. for the famous little book, "The Read to Wellville." POWER COMPANY WILL BUILD LARGE PLANTS IN NORTHERN COLORADO. TO GENERATE ELECTRICITY Will Operate in Many Towns—Controls Water Power and Coal Lands—Is to Furnish Light and Supply Power for All Kinds of Uses. Denver.—Work is progressing in preparation for the installation of the great electrical power plant of the Northern Power Company, and indications are that it is going to be a much larger affair that even L. W. Henry, its projector, anticipated. W. W. Churchill, vice president, and W. S. Lyford, chief engineer of the Westinghouse company of New York, have been in the city and left a few days since for the East. They took with them the plans for the power plant that is to be erected at Lafayette and for the transmission lines. W. A. McClurg and W. M. Riley, construction and transmission engineers, who came West with them, have remained in the state and are working out the details, such as locating the lines. The management has decided to embrace Fort Lupton, Brighton and Platteville in the sections to be supplied with power, which were not in the original plans. This is the company which recently bought the Boulder and Cheyenne power plants. It is hoped to have the plant installed by the 1st of February, but it is no small task and will take considerable hard work. A contract has recently been signed with the United Power and Light Company at Georgetown to supply it with extra power. This company has the electric business in Gilpin county pretty well in hand and manufactures about 1,500 horse-power, but it can utilize more and some 2,000 horse-power will be wholesaled and distributed. There will be connection with the Northern Power Company's feed lines at a point in Boulder county. The Northern Power Company has made secure its titles to more than 5,000 acres of coal land in the vicinity of Lafayette, where the power house will be located. It has also secured itself an abundant water supply by the purchase of Miller lake and another body of water of nearly the same size. In addition artesian wells will be sunk to make it a certainty that there will be sufficient. Mr. Henry says the possibilities for the use of power in agriculture in the northern district are immense and that the company is preparing to irrigate a number of tracts of land by pumping. Between Evans and Fort Lupton there is a considerable underflow of water, which has not changed in many years, but what is needed is some cheap power to raise it from the wells and distribute it on the land. This the power company can do cheaply. In the vicinity of Barr lake and also near Union reservoir close to Longmont, are large tracts of land that can be irrigated as soon as the water can be pumped over the soil. It is expected to bring 6,000 acres into cultivation near Barr lake in this way. All of this kind of pumping will be done early mornings. Mr. Henry has no doubt concerning the future of northern Colorado and Denver, which he thinks will be brought into closer relations in a few years by means of electric lines. The land is going to be cut up into small farms and intensely cultivated, and there will be a large population. ANTI-SALOON RAID. Governor Hoch of Kansas Smashes Outlawed Joints. Kansas City.—The anti-saloon crusade was given a new impetus at Kansas City, Kansas, Wednesday, when raids were authorized on forty saloons, joints as they are called, running in violation of the state prohibition law. Many of the joint proprietors hurriedly closed their places and some moved, or made preparations to remove their fixtures. Since the inauguration of the present crusade, which was started by Governor Hoch, ten saloons have been raided. To-day the liquors and costly fixtures from three of these places, valued at about $5,000, were destroyed by Sheriff Connell on an order from the judge of the Court of Common Pleas. Last week the judge ordered the fixtures burned at public bonfire, but this idea was reconsidered and today the sheriff and his assistants, armed with axes and picks, demolished the highly polished bars, tables and chairs, bottles and barrels of liquor. The fixtures and liquors destroyed to-day belonged to three different brewing companies operating on the Missouri side, and were seized last week. Harvard Defeats Yale New London, Conn. — Harvard's varsity crew triumphed over Yale Thursday before the greatest crowd that ever gathered here on a race day. Coming after years of defeat, the victory was particularly sweet to the crimson. It was a great Yale crew that Harvard defeated, a crew that had broken all records in practice and went to the stakeboat a favorite. Harvard's joy is unconfined. Harvard won, but Yale rowed a race that will live long in the annals of college sports. Not only from the start, but until the last sixteenth of a mile did the shells cease to lap each other. The men in the rival boats could see each other for more than three miles and a half, as first one coxswain and then the other called upon his crew. Harvard really got the lead when the killing pace proved too much for the Yale men. In the final spurt Boulton and Noyes were done, their oars literally slipping away from them. Harvard won the race by less than two lengths and a half. Her time was 23.02; Yales, 23.11. While the crews had the tide with them, they had a brisk quartering wind which made fast time impossible. The record for the course is 20:10, made by Yale in 1888. Save the Babies. INFANT MORTALITY is something frightful. We can hardly realize that of all the children born in civilized countries, twentytwo per cent., or nearly one-quarter, die before they reach one year; thirtyseven per cent., or more than one-third, before they are five, and one-half before they are fifteen! We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would save a majority of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations. Drops, tinctures and soothing syrups sold for children's complaints contain more or less opium, or morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. Castoria operates exactly the reverse, but you must see that it bears the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher. Castoria causes the blood to circulate properly, opens the pores of the skin and allays fever. Do not stick pins into the envelope, even if the balloon is a stationary one.

STATE OF OHIO, CITY OF TOLEDO. 83. One on the Doctor. A Baltimore physician who boarded a crowded car in Charles street, noticed a woman standing and a big German sprawling over twice the seat area that was necessary to him. Indignantly the physician said to his: "See here! Why don't you move a little so that this tired woman may have a seat?" For a moment the German looked dazed. Then a broad smile spread over his countenance as he answered: "Say, don't a joke on you, all right! Dot's my wife!" That an article may be good as well as cheap, and give entire satisfaction, is proven by the extraordinary sale of Defiance Starch, each package containing one-third more Starch than can be had of any other brand for the same money.

DAME FASHION'S DECREES BY ELLEN OSMOND We were promised nothing but boiler and coattee and fichu and Eton in the way of summer coat, and now here we are with the long loose coat the height of fashion. A long loose wash coat at first thought strikes one as a rather slimmy affair, apt to get forlorn very soon; but the wash coat of the day is no such failure. It is made of white linen and linen in lovely pastel shades; of white pongee; of a very fine white serge; and of white broadcloth. The cut is the circular, a seam down the middle of the back and then a generous sweep of material which makes the looseness and yet gives a certain smart fit that is very desirable. The coats as a rule are of three-quarter length long, the sleeves three-quarters and ample enough not to muss the dress. Most of the coats have contrasting collars. of the lining oration a materials mulls and hand-run plicity the machine-been sub to the lo have a s be a little collar and big pearl if you summer w considera and one black a do not s son. Son trimmed not to be draped b Neck ruffs of pale colored point d'esprit, just long enough to come a little below the neck, are in fashion. Fichus of much fineness are more of a novelty, but the shawl arrangements are not becoming to all, just the woman with the right kind of shoulders should go in for shawls and berthas, and such drooping "drapery." If a vote were to be taken, in all probability the corselet skirt would be condemned as awkward, and yet if the corselet skirt have a bodice of the same color it may be a costume to call forth general admiration. Suppose with a gray-blue chiffon broadcloth a gray-blue chiffon bodice be worn; then we would not have any prominence of waist line, no look as though the skirt had lost the upper part of its figure. A pink chiffon bodice and pink broadcloth skirt make up admirably together, give the pleasing contrast of filimess and heavy material. No lace should be used with this, else it be fussy. Over in Paris they are getting weary NEGLIGEE WEAR FOR SUMMER DAYS NEGLIGEE WEAR FOR SUMMER DAYS The lingerie sack and lingerie petticoat are very pretty and cool and fresh looking, but really should be confined to my lady's bedroom. The silk dressing sack looks less deshabille, and is a very cool garment. We recently saw a charming one, charming as to colors and pattern. It was made of Japanese A silk, a good quality, with the softest of color harmonies—pale violets and greens consorting most amicably, and just a dash of black, a touch of white, to give character. The garment was a short klmona negligege, and the facing at neck and sleeves a band of lightish green crepe de chine. To hold the crepe out was used an interlining of coarse India linen, which interlining gave no stiffness but rather a padded look to the facing. Another rarely pretty China silk sack had for predominating colors pale blue and yellow and light green, was faced with pale blue crepe. Much of the becomingness of such an article of dress depends on the facing against the neck, and the choice should of course LINGERIE NEGLIGEE. of the lingerie blouse and its over elaboration and are going in for exquisite materials untrimmed. Fine shirred mulls and silks, the narrowest of hand-run tucks, make an elegant implicity that is refreshing after all the machine-made finery to which we have been subjected. And referring again to the long wash coats, all of these have a severe appearance; there may be a little braiding or embroidery on cothar and cuffs, but very little, and big pearl buttons for trimming. If you would be really smart this summer wear with your white costume considerable black; an all-black hat and one of the long black lace veils, black shoes and gloves. White shoes are not so much in style as last season. Some of the long white coats are trimmed with black braid, but this is not to be generally recommended. The draped black hat is decidedly good with the white suit, and is a feature of the fashions of the day. The Peter Pan waist is another feature of which we have previously spoken; the Peter Pans come in every cheap ready-made class and also there are many high priced models. The small hat and the lingerie are most noticeable among the season's headgear, although the small hat ever has feathers or wings or quills to give it a wide circumference—and make it necessary that it have plenty of room as noticed recently in a crowded car when a very stout man was completely routed by a bunch of feathers stanling out perly from the otherwise modest little hat worn by an otherwise modest little woman. The lingerie hat is not small, is considerable larger than last year. As a rule it is trimmed only with folds and a large bow of ribbon in some delicate shade. It is meant to be the extreme of daintiness, and though its embroidery may cost a pretty penny its trimming must look simple. be for the color which suits best with one's complexion. If waist and petticoat of thin white goods is selected, we would suggest a dotted Swiss or figured material of some sort as preferable to the plain stuffs—looks less as though one had forgotten to put on one's outer clothes. Dotted Swiss makes up very nicely indeed and requires almost no trimming. The petticoat may have three untrimmed ruffles, the sack have a ruffle at the bottom, the collar-alone be lace edged. Of course the negligee is made with low neck and short sleeves—in this day when even on the street are worn blouses without collar or stock it would seem strange to make the negligee with a high neck. Slippers and hose should not be incongruous with the lingerie negligee, both be the daintiest the wearer possesses. Gray is a cool looking color, and this summer we are given opportunity to buy beautiful lacey gray hosiery. White, of course, is appropriate with white negligee jacket and petitcoat. When the summer bargain sales begin, it would be well for the woman who desires to add to her negligee outfit, to search the counters for summer left-overs, odds and ends of summer stuffs, embroideries and laces. Dainty Swiss embroidery gives tone to the negligee which a more showy trimming will not, and along in the summer fine embroideries are sold for about half what they brought early in the season. Flowered stuffs now being so much the rage a negligee costume of flower-bestrewn lawn or dimity would have a decided fashionableness. Soft silks—the wash silks—are ever good for the lounging costume, and they, too, are cheap late in the season. Dotted footing trims very prettily, is much better than an imitation lace. And ruffles of self material are fluffy and suitable; if the material is exceptionally pretty, perhaps they furnish the prettiest sort of ornamentation of negligee petticoat and sack.

I am when a man was certain to be hanged upon conviction of the theft of a few shillings his trial should be conducted almost with fear and trembling. Why the phraser of the statement said that it would be better that 99 guilty persons should escape than that one innocent person should be made to suffer was because the penalties that followed conviction were so terrible. There was another reason for the statement. It was the disposition and the rule to assume a man guilty, especially if he happened to be poor and without friends, when he was accused. This sentiment was found to operate at every stage of the legal procedure against accused persons. Now the situation is reversed. We have only one offense practically for which capital punishment can be inflicted, and that offense is the taking of human life. The processes employed in determining the guilt of a person as accused provide the largest and freest measure of justice that human wisdom and ingenuity can suggest, and they throw around the accused the most powerful safeguards.

Once in awhile a man gets a public office where he can get inside information and make enough to pay him for his trouble, but in nine cases in ten he would have done just as well in some other direction. The vast sums accredited to the recent men of successful political leadership supposed to have been made from politics are in most every case three times as big in the public mind as they really are. There are very few instances of a district leader leaving the game with any more money than enough to provide him a funeral, or buy him a little business somewhere, and yet there are no men in the world who put more vitality and hard work in their lives than a district leader. But graft in politics isn't a white chip in the game compared to the graft in the commercial world, and the term is a bugaboo that is wearing out. The "personal profit" reputation is easily acquired by a leader, and it damns him with enough people to take his power away long before he is ready to leave it. The man who doesn't love the game for itself, the man who hasn't a feeling of local pride in the city, no different from that of the man in the village, will not stay in the game for long, nor leave it to go anywhere but to unhappy obscurity.

These two principles are to-day rivals in the matter of practical aeronautics and they each have had their warm adherents. They are so totally different, however that they must be considered separately. The navigation of the air by application of the principle of buoyancy, that is the use of the balloon, has become so thoroughly fixed in the modern mind that any other method is popularly regarded as somewhat freakish, and a fit subject for ridicule. Nevertheless, other methods than ballooning seem to offer a better chance of final success. !! first? travel? ery, luxury, nces, don't ing resorts, Most of the recent practical efforts to accomplish mechanical flight without balloons have been confined to problems of soaring with wings practically fixed or with but a slight movement, the motive power being furnished by some light form of motor attached to the machine. Fifteen years ago Prof. Langley expressed the belief that the mechanical motors of that day were ample for practical air flights, although the mechanical difficulties yet to be overcome were very great and manipulative skill had still to be acquired. It has perhaps required the activity of a younger man to put into successful operation the Langley flying machine; at any rate the inventor did not carry his ideas to generally recognized successful completion, and it remains for time to prove whether he has successfully solved the problem of aerial navigation or only been one of the line of in ventors who have contributed to the links Denver, Colo HE occasion for the maxim, that 99 guilty persons should be permitted to escape rather than one innocent person should be punished, is not. in my mind, applicable to the conditions of the administration of justice that exist today in our courts of law. When the statement originally was made, it meant death for the accused to be convicted of any one of over a hundred offenses. It was rightfully felt that the harshness of the laws justified any alternative to the conviction of an innocent person. It was wholly appropriate take the view of Judge Wait, that the 99 guiry to-day, under all the conditions of civilized society, require more attention than the suppositive innocent one that is in danger. without doing these favors, and the man who do diction makes the kind of an official the public a man gets a public office where he can get in- make enough to pay him for his trouble, but in should have done just as well in some other direc- credited to the recent men of successful politi- ted to have been made from politics are in most as big in the public mind as they really are. new instances of a district leader leaving the game than enough to provide him a funeral, or buy somewhere, and yet there are no men in the world and hard work in their lives than a district politics isn't a white chip in the game compared to commercial world, and the term is a bugaboo that "ofit" reputation is easily acquired by a leader. than enough people to take his power away long leave it. doesn't love the game for itself, the man who real pride in the city, no different from that of will not stay in the game for long, nor leave to unhappy obscurity. ed upon by the impact of the air, which has a it, or there is mechanical propulsion.
