The Rapid Growth of h will be a Mecca for Classes of Ind
How many of the present generation ever seriously speculate concerning the changes likely to come to Colorado in the next decade. In order to get some idea of the possibility and growth of this state in the future you must think and know something of its past and present history. The year that has just closed has marked one of the greatest epochs of its magnificent growth. New Railroads, new mines, new irrigation plans, dry farming, new plants new factories and industries and new settlements have all contributed to its expansion. The Colorado STATESMAN wishes to contribute a few items to its readers on the subject of this new development taking place within our borders and to again ask its readers to keep an eye open to the main chance that lies before them to make themselves active participants in the upbuilding of this state. With the new railroad law and rate bill a better show will be given to all class of shippers. Industries once protected by rebate must now stand on an even plane with small shippers, this is the poor mans opportunity. A stereoscopic picture of our state growth along all lines is seen in the railroad earnings for the past year which show a net increase of nearly four millions of dollars. The taxes have also increased in propositions, this shows the rise of land values.
The mines increased their total output nearly ten millions. New coal beds have been opened in Routt Co., which would supply the state for nearly a hundred years. Eugene H. Grubb, an authority on agricultural matters and one of the foremost writers in the country, recently contributed an article to the Live Stock World of Chicago. He took for his subject, "The growing future of Colorado agriculture" and the article fairly bristles with bright things that would make any ambitious man's nerves fairly dance with joy at the opportunity held out for any industrious person. He contends why live stock must always be so important an interest in Colorado is the fact that the greatest irrigated crop of alfalfa. Two to four crops of this can be harvested annually and combined with corn, barley and other grains, the most perfect ration for producing the choicest

meats in the world is found. The crops seldom fail anywhere in the state and no failures are ever recorded on the irrigated ranches. The Eastern farmer must figure on at least one out of every five crops as a failure. In Colorado the irrigation farmer can depend on his harvest as certainly as he puts in his seed. This in itself is certain to make Colorado a garden spot of the world. The day of the cow boy and cattle baron has passed and to-day the new era of the man with the hoe and barbed wire fence is at hand. He need not be a big ranchman either. There is opportunity for the man of small beginning and small means as well as large interests.
The dairy business of the state is also growing at a rapid rate. The fact that Colorado butter and cheese commands an average price to the farmer of six cents higher than the average price paid elsewhere over the United States is a significant fact. The product of the Colorado dairy will stand the most expert test for purity and healthfulness. Colorado's educational affairs is in the best condition. Miss Catherine L. Craig, State Superintendent of Public instruction has notified the auditor's office that the apportionment of the public school fund has just been completed. The total amount is $119,662.34. This amount is distributed throughout the counties of the state in proportion to the school population. So that every boy and girl in Colorado has a fair and equal chance for the best kind of an education.
What Colorado wants is more people. More colored people can find homes and employment here than in any other state in the Union and the best way to induce them to come is to let them know the splendid opportunities that are offered them here not only in the cities but in the farming, mining and agricultural districts. Living thousands of miles away they know comparatively little about the state, yet they would be thankful for trustworthy information. They would be appreciative of you sending them a copy of the Colorado STATESMAN, so full of just the information they would like to know. You cannot stop to write each one a personal letter besides you may not have the fact and

DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JANUARY 19, 1907.
In selecting a United States senator for Colorado the Sixteenth General Assembly met in their separate houses last Tuesday and gave Simon Guggenheim the majority vote. Wednesday the two branches of the Assembly met in one body and concurred in his selection and nomination—so that it is Senator Guggenheim now, and will be for the next six years unless some unforeseen Providence, accident or death should defeat the will of the majority of the people of the Centennial State. The progress of events have gone on so smoothly in Republican ranks as to attract no opposition except from the minority party. They have attempted to forestall the selection of the majority choice, but their opposition was so successfully defeated at the polls that they put but little barrier in the way of Mr. Guggenheim's success at the time of his selection by the joint assembly. How different all of this was from six years ago, then there was a struggle and upheaval, the state was turned into a political bedlam, and armed forces were stationed in different rooms of the capitol building. All of these conditions were changed this week. Out of the tumult of the last dozen or fifteen years peace has been evolved through the Republican party. Simon Guggenheim has been a factor in all this evolutionary process. In his selection and indorsement there was no excitement, nor quarrel, no trading, no factionalism, no treachery; the assembly halls were open to the public—just an orderly proceeding by business men, the dominant party working in harmony, the minority crushed by the weight of prosperity and good will. If the beautiful and docile dove of peace could have been metamorphosed the State capitol last Tuesday would have resembled Trinity church.
Presto change has been written on the banner of Republicanism in Colorado. Four years ago the party was divided. It was intent on internecene warfare. The party needed to be saved from itself. A halt was called and the result was that the party went to the polls last November united and determined. They won a signal victory and the Legislature at this time is ready for business with no threats of blood-shed, rumors of pitched battles or questions of sectionalism or predominance. Profound peace, fealty, harmony and good feeling prevails everywhere. Now is the time to give the reward for this success and the Assembly hardly without a word lays the laurel of victory on the brow of one Simon Guggenheim. That he is worthy none doubt. That he is the kind of man that the country needs many will affirm. In any list of useful men to the state, or indispensable ones to the Nation, Simon Guggenheim's name would be near the top. He possesses those qualities of which all Americans are proud. It is therefore, not surprising that Mr. Guggenheim should go to the United States Senate from Colorado with the friendship and respect and the largest complimentary vote tendered to any senator by the Colorado Legislature for years. The Colorado Statesman joins with its many readers who are interested in public affairs in tending to Senator Guggenheim our compliments and good wishes for a long and successful career in national affairs and promise to send him in the near future a Republican colleague to assist him in holding up at the capital in Washington the grand principles of the Republican party. Colorado is once more in line for Republican honor and principles and Republican appointments. The colored people's interest in the state will be represented by a Republican senator.
DOING COMMON THINGS
DOING COMMON THINGS
In an Uncommon way. By Robert Russa Moton in Colored American Magazine.
People often marvel at the wonderful growth in power and proficiency of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute when its illustrious principal is obliged to spend so much of his time away from the institution. They wonder if Tuskegee does not seriously suffer by the lack of constant personal supervision of Dr. Washington. These are perfectly natural questions no doubt, and while the school must in the very nature of things feel the absence of its principal, it does not suffer as much as a casual observation would seem to indicate. Tuskegee Institute is so thoroughly interwoven with the life of its founder it is impossible to consider the school apart from its principal. In considering Tuskegee then one must remember that this school is very well organized; that Dr. Washington has gathered about him as choice a corps of workers as the race has produced. The superintendents of all the departments are experts in their line, and in loyal co-operation, they are all earnestly endeavoring to reach the highest ideal obtainable by an institution so unique and so far-reaching in its effects upon the world in general and the Negro in particular. The ideals of Tuskegee are the ideals of its founder. Indeed it is a concrete actualization of the possibilities of the Negro along lines of practical and technical education.
That a Negro could in an old church, upon poor land in a poor community build in twenty five years an institution of such magnificent proportions and doing such a splendid work, was forty years ago almost unthought of.
When away from Tuskegee, as he is so often obliged to be, Dr. Washington, through his very efficient executive secretary, Mr. Emmett J. Scott, is by a system all their own, kept informed daily on every phase of the work of the school. When at the school he is continually on the go, early and late, in season and out.
On a visit to Tuskegee I remember coming out of his house very quietly at 5 o'clock one morning, for fear of waking any one. I knew Dr. Washington had been holding a council meeting quite late into the night before. Coming from Hampton, I wanted to see how the students got out in the morning—the stable boys and milkers, cooks and bakers. I went to the bakery—it was not yet day—and to my surprise I found Dr Washington observing the work of the bakers, questioning as to the amount of flour used and caution

ing them against waste, etc. I then went over to the stable and found that he had already been there and had left an order for a horse to be saddled. When he came to his breakfast at 7 o'clock he had ridden over much of the large farm and had looked over the brick yard.
When Dr. Washington advises people to do the common things in an uncommon way, he is advising them to do what he is constantly doing in a very remarkable way. I was much interested in the interest he took in his fowls turkeys, pea fowls, chickens; his looking after the setting hens, the number of eggs she could keep warm, etc. I remember also with what delight he was greeted by some pigs, Jersey Reds he said they were. They seemed, as did also the fowls, to recognize his voice. I observed his interest in the most insignificant shrub in his yard. In other words one is struck by the great contrast between the Washington delivering an address in New York at the Carl Shurz memorial meeting and the Washington down at Tuskegee feeding chickens and pigs. I drove with him for some miles out from Tuskegee. I noticed he had a great many questions to ask almost every old colored man he met, and we met many drawn by a mule or an ox and in vehicles in all stages of decay. He wanted to know about their cotton and corn crops. He asked after the health of the children, the number of hogs they had—indeed everything that touched the lives of those old colored people—his people—appealed to him. He took much more time with a Negro and his mule than he did with a prominent white banker of the town of Tuskegee.
I contrasted the Washington at Carnegie Hall shaking hands and receiving the congratulations from former President Cleveland and many other distinguished gentlemen, and the Washington shaking hands and advising the poor, ignorant, struggling black farmer of Alabama.
The two pictures are striking. Mr. Cleveland, the heir to all that opportunity can give, of ancestry, of education, of environment, of culture, of wealth, of honor, of fame, but withal glad to shake hands with and do honor to Booker Washington. On the other hand the poor Negro, disinherited as it were by a land that enslaved him, lynched by the man whose home he protected, kicked by a nation whose flag he defended,—yet struggling upwards opposition and oppression and receiving from his white brother a stone when he asks only for a fair and equal chance. Yet he, too, can shake hands with Booker Washington and is assured of a more cordial greeting even than an ex-President of the United States. (Continued to 4th page)

The pure food pill introduced by
Representative Kelly in the House is
drawn in conformity with the national
law covering the same subject. It has
been drafted with great care, in order
that all legitimate enterprises may not
suffer from its operations.
Senator Tom Ehrhart of Chaffee
county, who is in Denver attending to
his duties in the Legislature, has en-
tered a steer in the Western Stock
Show, which opens Jenuary 19th-26th,
that will attract much attention. The
steer is being fattened entirely on
peas, which grow to perfection in
Senator Ehrhart’s locality.
Morris Lehman of Telluride, has
been reappointed chief clerk of the in-
surance department by State Auditor
Statler. He has been in the depart-
ment during the past two years and
did very efficient work under Deputy
Commissioner Rittenhouse. Miss Bes-
sie Budrow has been appointed sten-
ographer of the department.
Representative Dolph has presented
a bill to amend the law against the
docking of horses’ tails. The amend-
ment is to strike out that provision
against the importation of horses hav-
ing tails already docked. Some ques-
tion has always been raised regarding
the constitutionality gf that portion of
the bill, though the rightfulness of the
provision against docking tails has
never been disputed.
Representative Lehrritter has intro-
duced a bill to keep the game commis-
sioner from placing trout fry in any
stream controlled by any but the
state. ‘The object is to keep the public
fish out of those streams that are on
private property, the owners of which
decline to permit fishermen on their
land. It is also aimed at those asso-
ciations that have acquired fishing
rights from source to mouth of the
dest trout streams.
‘A simple little title Ine on a bill
introduced by Mr. Cannon has its work
in store for those men arrested on
charges of non-support. The bill title
reads, “Providing for the employment
of prisoners in jails,” and its effect is
‘that men imprisoned for non-support
will be, along with others, furnished
eight hours’ work each day. But the
one class of men is to get 50 cents
a day, the money to be paid to the
families in need of the recalcitrant’s
services.
A movement is on foot to have the
salaries of the justices of the Supreme
Court increased from $5,000 to $7,500
per annum. The cost of living affects
the judiciary, too. Judges must live.
A bill will be introdueed for the pur-
pose of raising the salaries. It 1s held
that under the new conditions the sal-
aries are not large enough and fall
short of almost every other state, and
that under the present conditions, with
living expenses high, the time has
come to raise them.
Some of the Denver druggists are
alarmed regarding the effect of the
pure food bill which is making such
rapid progress through the House. At
a meeting held on Saturday night it
was determined to have it amended it
possible. The assertion is made that
ft creates a “doctor's trust” and that
under {t no drug or medicine could be
sold without a physician’s prescription.
Owners and dealers in proprietary
medicines are also on the anxious seat.
‘Those responsible for the measure in-
sist that honest druggists and dealers
need have no fear, that all that is
sought is a “square deal” to the con-
sumer in drugs, liquors and solids.
Among the bills introduced in the
Senate is one by Senator Alexander te
repeal the present State Board of Ar-
Ditration and create a Court of Arbitra-
tion differently organized. Senator
Alexander says the present board is
useless and has never acted in any
labor difficalty. He says it costs the
state $2,000 and accomplishes noth-
ing. Senator De La Vergne, who was
a member of the board until recently,
says it is a dead letter. He favors the
bill repealing it. The Alexander bill
provides for an arbitratory court of
five men, one to de appointed by the
governor, one by the employer, one of
the employes, and the other two to be
elected by the first three. This bill
was imtroduced two years ago, but
failed to carry.
Representative Fetzer has presented
a bill aimed at all kinds of hazing, but
having particular reference to’ the
practice in schools and colleges. Un-
der the bill hazing is made a misde-
meanor, punishable by a fine of up to
$50. But the measure goes much fur-
ther, making college faculties respon-
sible for suppression of such acts.
Students convicted, by trial, either in
the public courts or by college facul-
ties, must be suspended or expelled,
according to the grade of the offense.
Its object is to class hazing where it
belongs, among the contemptible prac-
tices of the mean and brutal. But col
lege students alone are not included
in the penalties to be enforced. Any

It is claimed that the machine will
pay foritself in a few elections, The mo-
ment the polls close the vote is ready
to be recorded as with an adding ma-
chine and much time is saved in this
manner. Election officials now charge
two days to the county; with the ma-
chine one day would suffice. The pre-
cincts would be enlarged and in Den-
ver the number reduced from 200 to
100. Provision is made in the statute
that a precinct where the voting ma-
chine is in use must have at least 600
voters.
One of the last official acts of Goy-
eror McDonald was the appointment
of a commission pf three to pass upon
yoting machines that may be sub-
mitted to the state under the constitu-
tional amendment and statute dealing
with that subject passed two years
ago. He named Frank C. Goff, engi-
neer to the board of education; ‘Albion
&. Vickery, county clerk, and John B.
Hunter, engineer of the board of publio
works. They are all well known citt-
zens. Their official title is “state
board of voting machine commission-
ers.” They are appointed for five
years and their fees come from the
Owners of voting machines who sub-
mit their product for examination as
to their availability. Their duties are
to pass on the efficiency, accuracy, etc,
of any machine submitted. Machines
that pass scrutiny can enter competi-
tion for adoption as the official ma-
chine or official machines as the case
may be. Under the law now in effect
each county can choose {ts standard,
but it must come from pne of those
approved by the commission.
Among the bills that have been pre-
sented to the Legislature, Is one in
each house to correct and amend the
criminal law, so that the people may
have the right of appeal when a dis
trict judge has decided that a certain
Criminal statute is unconstitutional,
In the past such cases, when once de-
cided against tife people, have set a
Precedent in that court which nothing
eould disturb. ‘The prisoner has ak
Ways had the right of appeal when a
Point was lost, but the rights of the
People, or the ‘public prosecutor, have
ceased when the decision resulted in
the dismissing of the prisoner. ‘Tha
idea of the proposed law is to enable
the prosecutor to take appeal on the
Point of law. Nothing that a higher
court would decide would have any
effect upon the case, which would have
been already decided in favor of the
accused, but it would enable the higher
court to review the decision to decide
whether it should be accepted by all
courts. Should the Supreme Court de
cide that the lower court had Ca
convictions might then be again trie
for in similar cases under the law in
question.
A bill has been introducea in tha
Senate by Senator W. W. Booth ta
Baye, the Colorado Prison: Association
le a bureau of parole supervision
for prisoners from the state penk
tentlary and reformatory—subject ta
the final authority of the wardens of
these respective institutions. The
same bill has also been introduced in
the House by Representative Georga
S, Reda. During the last three yeara
the Colorado Prison Association hag
been actively engaged in assisting pris
oners discharged from jails and from
the penitentiary and reformatory. The
records show about eighty cases in
1904, 106 cases in 1905 and 154 cases
in 1906. In only a few instances have
these persons so aided had to be re
turned to prison for violating their pa
roles or for new crimes. Hitherto this
work has been maintained by the prk
vate benefactions of generous-hearted
citizens in all parts of Colorado, the
state giving its endorsement by fun
nishing office room and telephone ser
vice at the state capitol. For the last
year or two there has been a feeling
among those whose gifts have sus
tained the work that the state ought,
at this General Assembly, to set tha
Colorado Prison Association apart,
with adequate appropriation, to con
tinue its work and enlarge its useful
ness. And it is in response to this
sentiment that the bill has been intro
duced,
No Pay for State Boards.
Bills have been prepared and will be
introduced into the Legislature at once
placing all state boards on the same
level, that is to say, making them hon:
orary boards without pay, as recom.
mended in Governor Buchtel’s mes-
sage; and providing that members of
these boards shall be allowed their act
ual traveling expenses and no moro,
‘Their advocates say that these meas-
ures will become a law without ques
tion, The saving, according to their
views, will not be so very great; that
is not the aim, but the material to
draw from will be better. ‘Those who
will accept positions will do so as an
act of citizenship free from any selfish
motive and their conduct will be so
considered by the public. Heretofore
there has been a suspicion that mem-
bership on some of the boards was re
seryed for professional politicians anx-
fous to make an easy living, and for
that reason the best citizens did not
care to accept positions on these
boards. The aim in the proposed legis-
lation is to get the very best men and
women to serve on the state boards in
the knowledge that they receive noth:
ing directly or indirectly for their ser-
vices.
The following boards now serve
without pay: Board of agriculture,
board of charities and corrections,
board of health, board of medical ex-
aminers, board of pharmacy, board of
pardons, board of dental examiners,
School for the Deaf and Blind, Home
for Dependent Children, Industrial
School for Girls, Normal school trus-
tees, School of ' Mines trustees, also
state geologist. The secretaries in
most instances receive salaries.
Boards that have salaries or per
diems include the lunacy board, Indus-
trial School for Boys, penitentiary
commissioners.
GUGGENHEIM ELECTED
States Senate.
Denver.—By a vote of more than
twothirds of all the full Sixteenth
General Assembly—68 out of 100—
Simon Guggenheim, the Republican
party’s only candidate, was chosen
Tuesday as the next United States
senator from Colorado.
The result of the votes for senator
in House and Senate was as follows:
House. Senate. Total.
Simon Guggenheim. 46 22 68
Charles 8. Thomas... 15 12 27
Frank C.Goudy ... 4 .. 4
0. M. Kem of Montrose, S. 8. Belles-
field of Pueblo and W. B. Ebbert of
Otero, Democrats, changed their vote
before the result was announced from
Thomas to Goudy, out of compliment
to Representative Vincent. Senator
Morton Alexander, the only Republican
in the upper house who was opposed
to Guggenheim, was absent on ac-
count of illness. His vote would have
been cast for ex-Governor Jesse F. Me-
Donald.
In nominating Mr. Guggenheim in
the Senate, Senator Bohn of Leadville,
representing the Sixth district, said:
“He will help our President, encour-
age honor and purity in all public af-
fairs; he will be true to the cardinal
principles of the Republican party. He
will never neglect the local interests of
Colorado. He will be fully alive to

state and {ts protection. He will in-
fluence and encourage capital to come
here and build up enterprises. He has
invested heavily in the construction of
sugar refineries within our borders and
he has caused others to do so.
“He will stimulate with his magic
hand, every industry, and with his
wonderful financial influence he will
attract the attention of large inves-
tors.”
In the House Representative Harry
B. Kelly of Denver, in nominating Mr.
Guggenheim, said:
“At this time we need, more than we
have ever needed in the past, a man
whose mind is given up to the develop:
ment of the industry and commerce ot
this state, and who will discontinue
the populistic assaults that have been
made within the past few years upon
our industry and our commerce.
“A United States senator should be a
man of generosity and charity. At the
foot of yonder mountains he has
erected his monument to the science
upon which one of our chief industries
most depends. Within the confines of
this capital city he has placed his gen:
erous testimonial to the poor victims
of one of the worst plagues to which
flesh is hetr.
“I desire to say that my candidate
belongs to the progressive element of
the Republican party and that he will
ally himself with the most progressive
element of the Republican party in the
United States Senate and will always
be found with the President of the
United States supporting every meas:
ure designed for the interests of lib
erty, freedom and progress in this
country. I pledge it to you.”
Representative Mirle D. Vincent
(Republican) of Paonia, nominated
Frank C. Goudy, protesting that the
dominant faction of the party had sold
the senatorship to Mr. Guggenheim
He said:
“This fight will not end here; tt will
not cease in Washington. If f retain
my health—and it is in pretty good
condition now—this fight will be car
ried into every county, city and hamlet
of the state until the machine now in
control of the party is overthrown by
the people.”
Senator Tully Scott (Democrat)
placed in nomination ex-Governor
Charles S. Thomas, charging the Re
publican party with the sale of the
office and saying:
“In contrast and in honor to the
state, I nominate a citizen of Colorade
and a statesman of the nation, a law:
yer whose fauie is not bounded by the
continent; devoted to the constitution,
as Webster and equally able in ex;

whose open record will ever live as his
eulogy in the minds and hearts of his
countrymen, and who stands for the
equality of ‘all men before the law.

: Rheumatism Calls for Dr. Williams*
Pink Pills If You Would Be
Easily Cured,
| Mr. Frank Little, a well known citl-
zen of Portland, Ionia Co,, Mich., was
eured of a severe case of rheumatism
by Dr. Willlams’ Pink Pills, In speak-
Ing about it recently, he said: “My
body was run down and in no condi-
tion to withstand disease and about
five years ago I began to feel rheu-
matic pains in my arms and across
my back. My arms and legs grew
numb and the rheumatism seemed to
settle in every joint so that I could
hardly move, while my arms were
useless at times. I was unable to
sleep or rest well and my heart pain-
ed me so terribly I could hardly stand
it. My stomach became sour and
bloated after eating and this grew
so bad that I had inflammation of
the stomach. I was extremely nerv-
ous and could not bear the least
noise or excitement. One whole side
of my body became paralyzed.
_ “As I sald before, I had been sufft-
ering about five years and seemed to
be able to get no relict from my
doctors, when a friend here in Port-
and told me how Dr. Williams’ Pink
Pills had cured ‘aim of neuralgia in
‘the face, even after the pain had
‘drawn it to one side. I decided to
‘try the pills and began to see some
improvement soon after using them.
‘This encouraged me to keep on until
I was entirely cured. I have never
had a return of the rheumatism or of
the paralysis.
The pills are for sale by all drug-
gists or sent, postpaid, on receipt of

It is our purpose in the future to have a business column in this journal. It will be conducted in the interest of the colored people who are in business or expecting to go into business. Every week colored men and women from every part of the United States write to this office inquiring about business conditions in Denver or Colorado. It ought to be our chief aim to invite enterprising colored people with brains, training, experience, energy and capital to Colorado. And it will be the purpose of this business column to point out these advantages and opportunities that the West affords for such enterprises. Besides this such a column would afford opportunity for the paper to speak of things that the masses of our people ought to know about business affairs. The race cannot afford longer to be simply literary or musical, or professional or social. The race must get down to serious, solemn, practical business. If you think this a good thing, write us about it. Printers ink costs money, we don't want to organize and establish such a department if you are not interested in it.

OUR NEW SENATOR
The die is cast. Simon Guggen from Colorado. The first Republican Tuesday was the day that changed Colorado when a dyed-in-the-wool Patterson, the semi-populist and Dixie to serve his country, he puts his "If I go to the Senate it will be a pany—or any other interest. I will citizen—to represent the people or is permitted to every man, even the serve my country."
There is no doubt about this story a valuable acquisition to the ranks; life—thirty-nine years old, rich eration, a successful business man who executive positions and related to a man of fine heart as evidenced by his people's needs and having a desire be a credit to his state and nation.
The Colorado Statesman extent Senator Guggenheim and wishes forington as you have made in Colorado ship as you have made in business.

Simon Guggenheim is now the first Republican from this city that changed the tide in the red-in-the-wool Republican swing populist and Democrat. Mr. Dietry, he puts his idea in the fist Senate it will not be to repress interest. I will go as Simon at the people of Colorado. As a man, even the wealthiest, and not about this statement and the aim to the ranks of public servants old, rich enough to be a business man with talents trained and related to the management evidenced by his many charities having a desire to serve, state and nation.

I be encouraged and General of Springs, both good friends th ought to be supported by publicary and a good correspondent, articles in magazines and news said and done for the race in rising and condemning the task and commend the ecd ministers of the gospel who play for the Negro and serve us that we condemn the insult and active is a giant strength is to hear from it and feel it if they are not to be heard
ear comes on and we are a movement, let Colorado be the mass bureau of which Bruce Gur's news letter in the Freeman this direction, but personal described would do indefinitely.
The die is east. Simon Guggenheim is now United States senator from Colorado. The first Republican from this state for some years. Tuesday was the day that changed the tide in the national politics of Colorado when a dyed-in-the-wool Republican swapped places with Mr. Patterson, the semi-populist and Democrat. Mr. Guggenheim has a desire to serve his country, he puts his idea in the following words:
"If I go to the Senate it will not be to represent the smelting company—or any other interest. I will go as Simon Guggenheim, plain citizen—to represent the people of Colorado. An honorable ambition is permitted to every man, even the wealthiest, and it is my ambition to serve my country."
There is no doubt about this statement and therefore he ought to be a valuable acquisition to the ranks of public servants. In the prime of life—thirty-nine years old, rich enough to be above pecuniary temptation, a successful business man with talents trained and developed in executive positions and related to the management of large affairs. A man of fine heart as evidenced by his many charities, understanding the people's needs and having a desire to serve, the new senator will be a credit to his state and nation.
The Colorado Statesman extends you the good wishes of its readers Senator Guggenheim and wishes for you as brilliant a career in Washington as you have made in Colorado, and as fine a record in statesmanship as you have made in business.
BUREAU OF PUBLICITY AND CORRESPONDENCE NEEDED
Among some of the things The Colorado Statesman would like to call attention to for the New Year is a bureau of correspondence in every city of the United States to take note of all happenings affecting the Negro, both local and national, and reply to the same. If it is found good to keep a lobby at Washington and in each state to look after legislation in the interest of the people why should not a bureau of correspondence be effective for the Negro. If thousands of letters from all over the United States had the effect of softening the effect of President Roosevelt's order discharging the colored soldiers, why should not four or five hundred letters from the same source put back-bone in Senators Foraker and Penrose who are urging justice for these men. Why should not Senators Lodge and Morgan, who are taking the initiative in the Congo Free State atrocities be complimented. For instance, Senator Guggenheim ought to be encouraged and General Palmer, who lies near to death in Colorado Springs, both good friends to the Negro, ought to be sympathized with.
Such a bureau ought to be supported by public contributions, ought to have neat stationery and a good correspondent, whose duty it would be to answer current articles in magazines and newspapers, complimenting the good things said and done for the race and condemning the errors, and criticising and condemning the wrong. Such a bureau could thank and commend the editors, public men, business concerns and ministers of the gospel who preach and practice the doctrine of fair play for the Negro and serve warning to those who oppose and wrong us that we condemn the insult. Ten millions of Negroes awakened and active is a giant strength and no one wants to go up against it if he is to hear from it and feel it against him, but ten millions is as nothing if they are not to be heard from or felt in retaliation.
As the New Year comes on and we are looking for effective methods of race improvement, let Colorado be the first to start this new movement. The press bureau of which Bruce Grit or Twister is the writer and Thompson's news letter in the Freeman and Charleston Advocate are starts in this direction, but personal letters sent out by bureaus of the class described would do indefinitely more good in bringing results to the race.

The Colorado Statesman would like to be a bureau of correspondence in every note of all happenings affecting the reply to the same. If it is found and in each state to look after legis. why should not a bureau of corredo. If thousands of letters from all of softening the effect of President colored soldiers, why should not four one source put back-bone in Senators justice for these men.

strange and striking the contrast between the Washington addressing the wealth and culture of New York and the Washington advising and sympathising with the Alabama Negro; but they are one and
the same Washington, with one purpose, one aim, one determination, the "doing of common things in an uncommon way," whether feeding pigs, cleaning chicken coops advising and encouraging his mistreated people, lecturing his own 1600 students on the duties and responsibilities of American citizenship, or administering the affairs of his great institution, the one controlling, dominating force underlies all his actions. The Washington years ago making bricks and erecting buildings without money is the Washington crowned heads of Europe honored; the Washington sacrificing time, strength and labor for his people in the country districts of the South, is the Washington American wealth and culture honor.
The man who could do so well the "common things in an uncommon way" has also in a wonderful way done and is still doing the uncommon things in an uncommon way; whether pleading with his people or pleading for his people whether as an educator or as a plain, simple, earnest, unselfish, devoted, practical, Christian man, all of which is not by any meaus common, he has nevertheless done in an uncommon way, and there is the secret of his power, the underlying principle of his life.

RACE NEWS
Gathered from Various Sources.
W. H. Kennedy of New Orleans,
a leading Negro Republican, has
been reappointed by President
Roosevelt a receiver of public monies.
Our bright contemporary the Seattle Republican has recently given its readers this suggestive of wholesome wit of which all ought to readily see the point: "That alleged race riot down in Mississippi proved to be of the usual stripe of riots in the South the whites rioting and the blacks running. The expert sharp-shooters, however, winged ten of the fleeing blacks, which was a pretty good day's sport. We suppose the apologist for such outrages will say, "the darkies ought to learn to run faster if they want to keep down riot and save their lives."
Whites Pleased With Rev. Sanders
The Daily Democrat of La Junta Colo., in its issue of last Monday, January 14th had the following to say of Rev. J. W. Sanders, the General Missionary and Fiscal Agent of Colorado A. M. E. conference:
Rev. J. W. Sanders who preached yesterday afternoon in the Presbyterian church is a man of more than ordinary ability, his sermon was certainly a masterpiece. It showed thought and care in preparation and research. His delivery was good and there was not a moment during the entire lecture that his hearers were not edified as well as entertained. The contribution which was taken at the close proved that it was appreciated, as there was a goodly sum raised.
The A. M. E. Conference has made no mistake in sending such a man out in the interest of their church.

One way to overcome the difficulties that the race now experiences is for the race to move up into such high atmosphere that it will make people ashamed to treat it unjustly.
For example, it would be of great service to the race just now if the black man could concentrate his efforts and activities in assisting some more unfortunate people or groups of people in some portion of the world.
At Tuskegee I teach the students that the highest service one can render is to help some one more unfortunate than themselves, and in this way attention is diverted from themselves.
The establishment of schools and colleges will serve the same purpose, and I am glad to say that along these lines great progress is being made. In all this I am far from justifying any of the wrongs done our people, but I am suggesting these methods of helping to remedy these evils by different means; that is, by the old remedy of overcoming evil with good.
The Public School and the Home

It is a function of the home to keep children to keep themselves clean, but soap and towels, many public schools as books.
The homes should keep the children proper schools find occasion to use private charities to ing.
The parents should feed their children, but London and New York, children are not proper feed them in the schools or somewhere else.
It is the function of the home to teach the common household duties, but because girls wore cook, and the boys were given no manual duty have taken up the neglected functions.
Because children come to school suffering orders and disease and filth, the burden has been of discovering these conditions and taking steps.
So long as ignorance, poverty, vice and so long will the children be the chief sufferers and burdens not their own.
The public school is a thoroughly demo early days it was declared that children who should have no benefit of the fire, so the children and the children of the poor were cold. Then a furnish fuel for all.
The children of the rich brought books to the poor came without them. To equalize oppinions books free to all.
The public schools were not born to do all usurped it; it has been thrust upon them.
for them, society finds itself obliged to assume the care. It does it through public officials, societies, hospitals, reformatories, schools.
If all parents did their full duty by their children, the work of the schools would be light.
It is a function of the home to keep children under moral restraint, but the burden is thrown upon the schools. I have heard fathers and mothers plead with teachers for help because they had lost control of their own boys and girls.
It is a function of the home to keep children clean and to teach them to keep themselves clean, but soap and towels are found as necessary in many public schools as books.
The homes should keep the children properly clothed, but most city schools find occasion to use private charities to keep children from suffering.
The parents should feed their children, but in the largest cities, like London and New York, children are not properly fed, and society must feed them in the schools or somewhere else.
It is the function of the home to teach the children to perform the common household duties, but because girls were not taught to sew and cook, and the boys were given no manual duties to perform, the schools have taken up the neglected functions.
Because children come to school suffering from wounds and disorders and disease and filth, the burden has been placed upon the schools of discovering these conditions and taking steps to have them remedied.
So long as ignorance, poverty, vice and indifference exist in homes so long will the children be the chief sufferers and the schools must assume burdens not their own.
The public school is a thoroughly democratic institution. In the early days it was declared that children who did not bring wood to school should have no benefit of the fire, so the children of the rich were warm and the children of the poor were cold. Then society took upon itself to furnish fuel for all.
The children of the rich brought books to school. The children of the poor came without them. To equalize opportunities the public furnishes books free to all.
The public schools were not born to do all this work; they have not usurped it; it has been thrust upon them.

From five to eight or 8:30 sleep again. Taking up then the day's work, the brain will be still saturated with the mental fruits of the midnight vigil; there will be no effort in putting into practice or carrying further what was planned or begun those few hours before.
The habit may be hard to acquire, but mechanical means of waking at first will induce the predisposition.
Pierre Loti, the great novelist and writer of travel books, has long had the habit of so working, and declares his best thoughts, his clearest intellectual vision, his choicest phrases come to him when he works fresh from sleep, with all the world still in dreamland about him.
Napoleon, who slept at will and always awoke with renewed vigor and freshness, is another example. The great warrior very seldom slept steadily through the night, and the fact is well substantiated that his most splendid and successful battles were planned in the quiet of night's later hours, after he had awakened from a three or four hours' sleep.

SENATOR ELECT SIMON GUGGENHEIM TELLS WHAT HE MEANS TO DO.
WILL WORK FOR COLORADO
Formally Declared the Choice of the General Assembly—Delivers Short, Clear and Forcible Address—In Sympathy with President Roosevelt.
Denver.—Formal sanction of Tuesday's action of the House and Senate was taken at noon Wednesday, when Simon Guggenheim, western head of the American Smelting and Refining Company, and reputed to be ten times a millionaire, was draped with the senatorial toga in joint session of the Sixteenth Assembly.
The joint session was called to order by President Lewis of the Senate at noon and after the reading of the previous day's proceedings in both Houses, Simon Guggenheim was declared to be the choice of the Assembly for United States senator.
Senator Parks moved that a committee of six be appointed to bring the senator-elect before the assembled body. Senators Parks, Anfenger and Barela and Representatives Dillingham, Cannon and Dray were named:
five minutes elapsed and then Sergiant-at-Arms Young announced the approach of the senatorial escort.
"Mr. President," he said, "the committee appointed to bring the senator-elect has arrived."
He was received by President Lewis of the Senate and Speaker Breckenridge of the House and formally introduced to the people by the former in these words:
"Senators and representatives, members of the joint Assembly, I have the honor to present to you the next United States senator from Colorado, Simon Guggenheim."
Mr. Guggenheim was received with loud applause and addressed the joint meeting of the Assembly as follows:
Senators and Representatives of the State of Colorado: Sincerely do I thank you for the great honor and for the confidence you have reposed in me in electing me to the highest office in the gift of our state
I appreciate my responsibilities, and in order to give my entire time to the people of our nation and state during the sessions of Congress, and also during the recess, I have withdrawn from all active business.
In accepting the position of senator I do so with the sole purpose of rendering loyal and efficient service to all the people, and to accomplish this object I shall be an active member of the United States Senate.
By devoting constant time and attention to the duties of my high office much should be accomplished for our Nation and state.
It has always been my ambition to be one of the state's builders, realizing that we are a young state, extensive in area, rich in resources, and capable of supporting a much larger population. Great is the opportunity of increasing the population and of attracting to Colorado the needed capital and labor for our development, that in time our commonwealth may become one of the most important states of our glorious Union. Gladly do I give up a commercial career for the purpose of assuming the responsibilities of senatorship and of devoting myself entirely to the obligations of the high office. I want to be judged by my record, which I hope will be such that all the people of our state may feel that their confidence has not been misplaced.
At this time I wish to state clearly that I am going to Washington to represent all the people; that I am free and untrammeled, and under obligations to no interests, company, railroad or corporation.
I am in hearty sympathy with the progressive achievements of our party and of President Roosevelt. I favor all legislation adopted by Congress to correct industrial evils and abuses, and will support and suggest further measures that experience or wisdom may demand as necessary.
Any one occupying a public position must expect to be the target of criticism. Just criticism is beneficial, malicious misrepresentation digs its own grave.
When I reached my majority I came to Colorado. I rejoice that the friends I made during the early days are still my friends. I hope to include in the bond of friendship all of the people of our state.
Gentlemen, it is with deep appreciation that I accept the high honor and the great responsibility you have conferred upon me.
KINGSTON EARTHQUAKE
One Thousand Killed and Ninety Thousand Homeless.
St. Thomas, D. W. I.—Reports received here from Jamaica say it is estimated that 1,000 persons have been killed by the earthquake and fire and that 90,000 persons are homeless. Advices received from Jamaica declare that all people have been warned to keep away from Kingston. The stench is described as awful. Money is useless. The banks have been burned, but the vaults are supposed to be safe. The misery on all sides is indescribable. Rich and poor alike are homeless. Provisions of all kinds are urgently needed. It is impossible to say where anybody can be found. The dead are being buried under smouldering ruins.
The mercantile community suffered most severely, warehouses falling on them. Many professional men are dead or injured. The negroes are looting. Ghastly scenes are being witnessed. All the shops have been destroyed and all the buildings in and around Kingston are in ruins. Few of them are safe to live in.
It is reported that an extinct volcano in the parish of Portland is showing signs of activity, but this has not been verified. No news has yet been received from other parts of the Island of Jamaica, communication being difficult. The damage to Kingston alone is placed at fully $10,000,000.

In our last issue we made mention of the Rio Grande Ry., Co., putting Negro cooks on the dinners but we overlooked to mention J. D. Garner along with Lawrence Stephen as one who promoted the idea and who pleaded with the officials to bring about the change.

We would like to see more men like Messrs. Garner and Stephen in our midst. Keep at it boys, the race is proud of you.

HOME FROM K. C.
James Cartwright arrived home Friday of last week from Kansas City, where he had been since the opening of the holidays. Mr. Cartwright is well known in Kansas City, in fact he is pupular throughout the entire West, but in Kansas City where one can always "have a time," the friends of Mr. Cartwright never lost any time in making the gentleman from the Queen City feel at home. The dinner parties, suppers and numerous other social functions given in his honor by doctors, business men and in fact the best citizens of the Kaw jurisdiction prolonged his stay several days and then he had to cancel several engagements. In an interview with him regarding the progress being made by the Negroes of Kansas City. Mr. Cartwright said: "I have never seen so much activity along all business lines as is being manifested by the colored people in Kansas City. I came in contact with many of the business and professional men and in conversation with them I heard nothing but encouraging reports."
Mr. Cartwright has nothing but

A FINE SMOKER.
What proved to be one of the most enjoyable events of the year was the smoker given last Saturday night by the young men of the Denver Club at Odd Fellows hall, 1712 Curtis street. The program opened up with music by the Denver Club quartet and orchestra. Checkers and whist were the games indulged in. At the proper hour the members of the crew and their guests were seated at the long line of tables which were beantifully decorated and bore a lot of good things to eat. At each plate a choral ballod of popular songs on the front page of which was a comical cartoon which was the work of E. J. Wicks, who is quite an artist in that line. The only misfortune of the evening was the scarcity of water. the hydrant having been shut off for repairs, therefore a substitute for water was furnished in the way of—well you know what goes with such occasions—everything.
Sherman Overton was toastmaster of the evening and as such he is an ideal one, his preface of those who spoke was indeed unique. After the feast Wm. Russ announced the great boxing contest between two of the crew, but just before the bout he read a telegram from Joe Gans, challenging the winner, but as neither of the boys cared to tackle Gans they fought to a draw. There were a number of others who donned the big mits and Mr. Russ, the official referee, had no little amount of trouble in making the boys quit fighting by "coonsberry" tactics.
The committee in charge were, A. E. Bell, chairman; Wm. Slade, N. J. Skillern, John Rhodes, and they with the personal assistance of every member of the crew, won the highest commendation from their guests as model entertainers.

Jew Children the Healthier
Jewish Children the Healthier.
At a meeting of the Society of Arts in London, Dr. W. Hall of Leeds, in a discussion on physical degeneration in England, insisted that food was the main thing, and threw on a screen pictures to show the striking superiority of Jewish children in Leeds over those of the English community living in similar conditions—the former being better fed, especially in infancy, and having generally acquired the habit of breathing through the nostrills, whereas the English children were mostly mouth breathers, ill fed and ratkety.
Frozen Meat Trade.
Some idea of the extensiveness of the frozen meat trade may be gained when it is noted that there are no fewer than fifty-eight freezing plants in Australasia and Argentina. Their estimated daily killing and freezing capacities are equal to 180,000 56-pound carcasses (4,500 tons), and they are equipped with means of storing two or three weeks' killings. During the past year the total output of Australia, New Zealand and the River Platte for all markets was equal to about $28,000 tons of frozen meat.

The Dog Stayed.
A young business man of Harlem,
who didn’t love dogs, surprised his
wife the other night by bringing home
a disreputable looking, half-starved
mongrel.
“Now, it's all right,” he told her.
“This dog is going to stay here, and I
think when you hear the circum-
stances you won't object. About three
blocks away from the house this dog
deliberately stopped in front of me.
The beast looked as if he had not
eaten for days, never had a home and
had. been kicked and cuffed by nearly
everyone. He looked at me in such
an appealing way that I couldn't help
stooping down and patting him once
or twice on the head.
“I thought no more about the mat
ter and contintied on my way home.
When I had gone a block or so I sud-
denly felt something cold’ and wet
against my hand, and turning around,
I saw this poor beast, out of gratitude
for my having just patted him on the
head, licking my hand.
“After this dog gets a few meals
and a wash he will look very different
from the way he looks now. Anyway,
T want him to stay.”
The dog stayed.—New York Sun.
Dri Savane’s’ Eudens ‘Riel Story,
The Rev. Minot J. Savage, on being
Introduced to speak before a large

heard Seth Low tell it.
Field sat down at @ table in a
New York restaurant and presently
was approached by a yoluble waiter,
who began to rapidly enumerate the
articles upon the menu—"Coffee-tea:
chocolate ham’n'eggs-beefsteak-mutton
chop-fishballs-hash’n-beans,” etc. Field
looked at him with fixed eye ané sol-
emn visage, and said with marked de-
Mberation: “I want none of these
things. All I desire is one orange and
a few kind words.”
“Now,” observed Dr. Savage, “I
don’t know as I can bring to you the
flavor of an orange, but I feel sure 1
can serve you with a few kind words.”

PRESIDENT TALKS
ON SANTO DOMINGO, CONSULAR
SERVICE AND TRADE.
FAVORS THE SUBSIDY BILL
Had to Help Santo Domingo to Pre-
vent Foreign Intervention—Asserts
Power of Removal in Civil and Mil-
itary Service—Monroe Doctrine Up-
holds Peace.
‘Washington.— President Roosevelt
was given a great ovation Wednesday
night when he addressed the delegates
to the national convention for the ex-
tension of the foreign commerce of the
United States. A delegate from one
of the far western states mounted a
chair and proposed: “Three cheers
for Teddy Roosevelt, President of the
United States." For ten minutes the
600 delegates cheered the President.
The President declared it was a
Pleasure to greet the delegates. He
paid tribute to Secretary Root and
declared that the minute we leave
American soil party lines are disre-
garded and we are all Americans.
“What Secretary Root has already
said has my unqualified indorsement,”
said the President. He said he would
talk on three subjects, already referred
to by Secretary Root: First, our rela-
tions with Santo Domingo; second, the
consular service; and third, the exten-
sion of our trade in Central and South
America,
“The first duty of the government,”
the President said, “is to help Santo
Domingo stand on’ her feet.” He re-
ferred to the pending treaty, which, ho
declared, if adopted, will remoye all
danger in future of any necessity ot
intervention. He reviewed the causea
which led up to the United States tak-
ing a hand in the affairs of the island
republic, and explained the objects of
the proposed treaty.
“Two years ago,” said the President,
“things in Santo Domingo got. into
such shape that we became satisfied
certain European powers, if we did not
take some steps to better conditions,
would themselves take possession of
certain ports in the island. We had
to!act to prevent action by others.”
‘The President took up the question
of reform in the consular service and
praised the conference's work in this
connection.
*I believe that a great improvement
has been worked in the consular ser
vice,” he said, “but I do not believe the
Power of removal should be re
stricted.”
‘The President declared that both in
the civil and military service he
keeps open “the door of ready exit
for the unfit.” He said that no one ex
cept himself had the power to close
this door.
He urged the passage of Jaws by the
present Congress that will extend
American trade to every section of the
globe. He said that a bill incorporat
ing the suggestions made by Secretary
Root in his Kansas City speech hat
been prepared and expressed the hope
that it would be passed at this sessior
of Congress.
}eerhis bill,” he added, “is absolutels
needed if we are to meet foreign com
petition.”
‘The President declared that there {
no doctrine advocated by any natior
that compares with the Monroe doc
trine in advancing the cause of peace
“The prime boast of the Unites
States navy is to avert war,” he de
clared in discussing the needs of a big
ger navy and the wisdom of preparing
for war in the time of peace.
“The United States navy is th
cheapest insurance this Nation has
‘Treat every power with justice, wit!
every courtesy—courtesy is ver’
cheap, but very valuable—and don’
giye any nation cause for offense.”
In conclusion, the President de
clared that he hoped the meeting o
the convention would result in ¢
faster line of ships to South Americ:
and the Orient.

Boulder Tuesday night says: The
beet sugar factory for Boulder is prac:
tieally assured. F. F. Kilby of Cleve-
land, Ohio, who built the plants north
of Boulder, was here to-day and saw a
number of business men. He wired
his associates in Cleveland to stop all
negotiations with other parties in ref-
erence to the plant in Michigan, as ho
had practically closed the deal with the
Boulder people. The stock company
‘was agreed upon, also the amount at
which the corporation shall be capital-
ised. Mr. Kilby said his associates
would be more than willing that the
majority of directors should be Boul-
der people. Contracts to furnish beets
for the new mill are already being

shipped to boulder by March and be
ready for operation next fall.

BANKING BY MAIL, |
Opportunities Afforded by the Centra)
Savings Bank of Denver,
During the past few years the practice
of banking by mail has had a phenom:
enal growth all over the country, es-
pecially in the central West. In Den-
ver, the financial center of a large ter-
ritory, the Central Savings Bank is
making a specialty of this line of bus-
iness, to the accommodation and sat-
isfaction of a large and constantly
growing list of depositors in Colorado
and adjacent states and territories.
All those who have tried this kind of
banking are pleased with the advan-
tages and security which it affords.
‘The Central Savings Bank is one of
the great and substantial financial in-
stitutions of Denver, being the largest
and most important savings bank be-
tween St. Louis and the Pacific coast.
It has the unstinted confidence of the
business community, and in the num-
ber of its depositors ranks with the
largest banks in Denver, showing that
it is high in public favor. ‘The growth
of its business is shown by the rapid
growth of its deposits, which on Oc-
tober 1, 1906, were $2,014,126.08, and
on January 7, 1907, had increased to
$2,372,138.09.
The following table shows its steady
increase in deposits for the past nine
and one-half years:

The capital stock of the bank, all
paid in, is $100,000.00, and its surplus
and undivided profits January 7, 1907,
$100,159.45.
The Central Savings Bank was es-
tablished in 1892 on safe and con-
servative lines, and has had a most
prosperous career. It handles both
commercial and savings accounts.
Upon savings accounts it pays four per
cent. interest, compounded seml-an-
nually, and on commercial accounts it
pays two and one-half per cent. on
daily balances exceeding $1,000.
It also deals extensively in munict-
pal and public utility bonds. Its safety
vault department offers the use of a
vault that is mob, burglar and fire
proof.
‘The president of the Central Savings
Bank, Mr. B. F. Salzer, is one of the
most successful and highly esteemed
business men of Denver. He is prest-
dent of the B. F. Salzer Lumber Com-
‘pany and has large interests through-
out the city and state. George Richard-
son, vice president, is one of the best
‘known Colorado pioneers and a banker
of long experience. William B. Wilson,
the other vice president, is one of the
leading physicians of Denver, where
he has practiced for twenty-five years.
W. M. Marshal, cashier, has been ‘n
banking twenty-three years and has
been cashier of the bank since its or-
ganization. J. V. Cockins, assistant
cashier, has been with the bank thir-
teen years, and is thoroughly familiar
with its business. Its directors are
all well-known and substantial men.
| ACCIDENTS TO WORKERS.
Some Appalling Statistics of Loss of
Life.
Dr. Josiah Strong, president of the
American Institute of Social Service,
in speaking of the number of persons
killed each year in our industrial occu-
pations, made some astonishing com-
parisons. He said:
“We in the United States kill in four
years some 80,000 persons more than
fell in battle and died of wounds dur-
ing the four years of the Civil War.
‘We are killing more than twice as
‘many every year as perished by vio-
Jence in both the French and English
armies during the three years of the
Crimean War.
“There are more killed and wounded
on our railroads every year than the
entire losses of the Boer War on both
sides in three years, We have indus:
trial casualtics enough every year to
keep one conflict like our war with
Spain going for 100 years. Our peace.
ful vocations cost more lives every two
days than were lost in battle during the
entire Spanish War.
“Brom the best statistics obtainable,
Imay say there are to-day 575,000 per-
sons in the United States under sen:
tence of death to be executed at an un:
known moment during the next ten
years—1,100 next week and the same
number every week until the ghastly
work {s complete. An intelligent and
earnest effort would procure the re:
prieve of a multitude of these innocent
victims.” .
Salton Sea Like Ontarlo.
According to Louis C. Hill, super-
yising engineer of the United States
Reclamation Service for Arizona and
southern California, if the Colorado
river continues to flow into the Salton
sink it will bring into existence a body
of water that will be as large as Lake
Ontario. Speaking on the subject he
said:
“Already 450 square miles of the
bed of the basin of what was once a
salt sea has been covered by the
water to a depth of sixty feet, and {f
the flow continues, 2,000 square miles
wil be covered to a depth of 270 fect.
“As the water has torn down into
the sink, which is 200 feet below the |
level of the sea, it has made an ever
deepening ravine, until at present the
water falls from'a height of eighty
feet and gives promise of creating a
second Niagara.”
Carnegie’s Partners, the People.
The Review of Reviews prints an
article by Andrew Carnogie, entitled
“My Partners, the People.” ‘Carnegie
expresses the belief that a millionaire
ought to share his wealth with the
poor, but with the limitation that his
forttine should not be divided before
the millionaire’s death. Then the
community should expect a large
share. Carnegie humbly deprecates
the claim of the mercly wealthy to
fame. ‘They have no place with the
educated man, and they occupy a
lower plane ‘Intellectually, In the
coming day brains will stand above
dollars, and conduct above both.
SLAG FOR CONCRETE WORK.
Experiments to Be Made by the Unk
versity of Colorado.
‘The Union Pacific Railway Company
has recently submitted to the civil em
gineering department of the Univer
sity of Colorado a series of tests to be
made upon slag from the immense
dumps of the smelters. ‘These tests
will be made with the view of determ-
ining the value of the slag as a subst!
tute in the place of broken rock for
conerete work in culverts, retaining
walls, platforms, and the like.
As the expense in breaking rock for
use in concrete is large, and this
would be in a large part obviated by
the use of the slag, the saving would
be great. Millions’ of tons of this
waste lie unused, and if its utility
should be determined for some pur
pose, the economic importance would
be considerable.
| The object of the experiments
therefore is not only to accomplish a
financial economy in the matter of
breaking and transporting the rock,
but of ascertaining the efficiency of
the slag in its place. Consequently,
tension, compression, and, weathering
tests ate and will be made, and com-
parisons drawn between the stone of
the Lyons formation and the slag in
regard to their efficiency as aggre-
gates.
‘The work is under the direct super
vision of F. W. Doolittle and H. J. Kes-
ner of the civil engineering depart-
ment of the UniverSity and when their
report is made to the railway company
the announcement of the results will
be awaited with interest.

THE HORSE CARRIAGE
TREE OF GARDEN OF EDEN.
Matives Believe it Grows in island of Ceylon.
In Ceylon grows a tree called "Eve's Apple Tree." It is the fruit of this tree which makes it remarkable. It is a beautiful fruit to look at, deep red on the inside and orange on the outside, and out of each fruit a piece appears to have been bitten.
The simulation of a fruit which has recently been bitten into is perfect. You can see the very marks of the teeth, and anyone not knowing the facts would be deceived.
For this reason, and because the fruit is a deadly poison, the natives declare that the tree is that which grew in the Garden of Eden and was called the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.
After Eve ate of the fruit, and thus brought death and sin into the world, the fruit assumed the appearance it has now, as a perpetual reminder of her rash and disobedient act.

PROPER THING IN DRESS
If you are going to spend the entire day at home it is obviously extravagant to put on a cloth costume which, complete with the coat, has been designed for outdoor wear, or to do some trailing elegance of velvet, which with fur jacket does its duty in your friends' drawing-rooms, or the clubroom of your latter-day fancy.
It has been agreed that it is only to the matron the luxurious ease of the tea-gown may be granted. For her, of course, the matter of house gowns is simply settled, the fabrics to be face-cloth, velveteen, or soft satin, most of the decoration being disposed at the neck or round the shoulders and taking the form of a lace collar or a chiffon and lace vest.
other is of musquash trimm dull gold galon and ecu lace styles might be admirably cloth or in velvet, or velveteen popularity for costumes for wear grows ever and always. the way, some of the latest veil short walking costumes are a finely striped velvet trimm sik braid.
A novelty which deserves is a white cloth blouse cover an embroidery in silk and other woolen blouses are of vas, and others, again, of ca but on the score of economy these can be cordially commer they suffer very severely fro to the laundress or cleaner,
Every young girl should possess herself of an indoor gown of velveteen, and I would advise for its best conduct that the bodice be fashioned in blouse style, worn unlined over a tightly-fitting underbodice, and belted to comfort through a buckle, or by means of bones at the front and back. This method avoids weight and too much warmth, drawbacks to lined velveteen, which renders it impossible for some people, whom I would advise to substitute cashmere or nun's veiling.
A very pretty house gown is made of cashmere in a red currant shade, the bodice front and back bearing a plastron of lace, crossed into pointed ends at the waist, showing the nun's veiling under the arms and on the sleeves, which should reach to the elbows or the wrist according to the beauty of the individual arm which it may be destined to adorn.
An admirable way of making a cashmere skirt, than which no better has been devised, is to have three large tucks round the hem, and two more below the knees, and two more above them. The sun-ray accordion-plaited skirts made of nun's velling, has proved a boon and blessing for house wear, but we are becoming a little tired of their charms, which is, indeed, most ungrateful, since they offer such facilities for attractive frocks with no outlay, needing only a length of material sufficient to make a bodice, some oddments of lace out of the lace drawer to decorate the bodice to taste. There, then, is the home dress complete, save for the belt, which could be selected either of plain silk or chine ribbon according to the size of the waist to be encircled.
Face cloth may, of course, be allowed to make the home gown, but suffers from the same disadvantage as velveteen, that of too much weight, a trouble which may to some extent be avoided by the omission of all lining. Cloth, of course, wears better than velveteen, not being liable to suffer so severely round the hem from contact with carpets; for it is the hem of the velveteen gown which invariably displays its age.
An attractive tea gown is shown in our large illustration. It may, however, be more justly described as a dressing-gown than a tea-gown, and I can picture it looking very well in pale blue face cloth trimmed with pale blue glace frills, white embroidery on pale blue glace forming the decoration.
The two other pictures show the fur coat under most elegant conditions, the first being made of mole skin with oxidized silver buttons, and a double-breasted waistcoat of suede to match, hemmed with a lighter shade of grey corded silk while the
other is of musquash trimmed with dull gold galon and ecru lace. Both styles might be admirably copied in cloth or in velvet, or velveten, whose popularity for costumes for outdoor wear grows ever and always. And, by the way, some of the latest very smart short walking costumes are made of a finely striped velvet trimmed with silk braid.
A novelty which deserves mention is a white cloth blouse covered with an embroidery in silk and chenille, other woolen blouses are of fine canvas, and others, again, of cashmere, but on the score of economy none of these can be cordially commended, for they suffer very severely from a visit to the laundress or cleaner, usually turning yellow, and the blouse made in shirt style of white China silk may be relied upon for greater durability.
The latest cry in hats is the fur cap. Its most popular trimming is a glistening green bird at one side; other decorations are rosettes of dull gold, small round bunches of flowers, or a waving paradise plume. Amongst the best and most unusual examples that I have seen is one of black fox with a crown of black tulle and a decoration of aggressive green wings at one side. This, worn by a girl with a plentiful mass of dull red hair, is specially successful. In our smaller illustration we show an original and effective costume in dark green cloth. It is made in princess form, the slightly draped folds of the corsage being apparently held in place at either side by a series

of cloth-covered buttons, while, of course, have a chemisette and little under-sleeves of lace. As a bordering to the cloth a touch of the silky braid of slightly darker green, which appears on the skirt hem may be added. This braid figures again on the coat, and is finished off with hanging ornaments of silken cord, and as to a hat it should be of green felt, either trimmed with ostrich feathers or with a cluster of coque feathers curving from a rosette of velvet in front, and drooping right over the crown on (to the hair at the back.

CATCH FISH WHILE ASLEEP.
Hawaiian Method So Destructive That
Law Against It. Is Demanded.
J. M. Herring is the very appropriate name of the fish inspector at Iloilo, Hawaiian islands. In a recent report, he says that the food fishes of Hawaii are rapidly disappearing because of the slaughter of those not fully grown. Ignorant natives and Japanese laborers are responsible. Besides using small mesh nets they have a method of making a catch which is thus described by Mr. Herring:
"The natives use a mixture or combination of herbs known as auhuhu or akia, a ball of which when deposited at the bottom of a pond frequented by fish acts in the nature of chloroform, putting the fish to sleep. When the fish rise to the surface the natives gather them up, and they are sold or eaten like other fish.
"There does not appear to be any harmful effect from the use of this drug after the fish are cooked, for the Hawaiians eat fish killed in this manner with impunity. But the action of the drug is the same on all fish within the radius of its influence, and the young suffer death as well as the larger fish.
"The present law provides a penalty for fishing with dynamite, but does not cover this method of destroying the fish."
On Mr. Herring's suggestion a new protective law has been introduced in the Hawaiian Legislature.
LEFT THEM BOTH GUESSING.
Trick of Traveler That Caused Coolness Between Companies
Better Between Companions.
"Courtesy always pays," said Mme. Rejane, the French actress, to an interviewer. "If we are courteous to people, they like us and they try to help us. If we are discourteous to them, they hate us and oppose us.
"Two women occupied a compartment in a railway carriage with one man, a stranger. They were extremely rude to this man. In whispers that he could overhear, they criticised his costume, his figure and his manner. He, to be revenged, did a singular thing.
"The blackness of a tunnel enveloped the car, and under cover of the darkness the man kissed the back of his hand loudly and repeatedly. Then, when the train entered the light again, he looked from one woman to the other with a significant smile.
"They exchanged glances of suspicion.
"Was it you he kissed?
"No, of course not. Was it you?
"And neither lady would believe the other's denial, and each, in her inmost heart, was offended to think that the man had chosen her companion instead of herself to kiss. The man looked cool and complacent. When, finally, he rose to go, he said, lifting his hat with a jocular air:
"Have no fear, ladies. I shall never tell which of you it was."
CARE OF THE FLOOR
USEFUL DIRECTIONS FOR THE CAREFUL HOUSEWIFE
Expert Tells of Methods He Uses in Keeping in Condition the Floors In a Large City Hotel.
Hardwood floors are becoming more and more of a necessity in the average home.
They are practical, sanitary and in the end less expensive than carpets, besides affording opportunities for artistic rugs.
In hotels and large houses the floors are under the supervision of a man who comes in once a month or so to refurbish and look them over.
Smaller households can attend to these details themselves.
The following directions given by a floor finisher may help some persons who can not have their floors taken care of by experts.
"The most important part of finishing a floor," says this man who attends to the large hotels in a city, "is to give it a smooth, soft appearance.
"It should be well planed, scraped and sandpapered to give it an even surface before any filling is applied.
"No. 1 sandpaper is best for this purpose. It is ruinous to a floor to finish it without properly preparing it in the beginning.
"Varnish should be seldom used on a floor. If I had my way I should never use it, but some persons prefer it for kitchens, bathrooms and floors that need wiping with water.
"If the floor is old the first step is to scrape it thoroughly, using a cabinet maker's scraper. This is a rounded piece of sheet tin and does not scratch the floor while it will remove every particle of old dirt and fillings.
"If the varnish sticks badly the hard places can be soaked with lye and water before using the scraper.
"A new floor will not have any holes, but an old floor may have many that will have to be puttied up before applying any finish.
"Care must be taken not to use much oil in doing this, as it spreads on the wood and when the hole is filled the surface must be smoothed with the scraper.
"The next step is to apply the coating.
"Its object is to bring out the grain of the wood and it should be rubbed in with a rag. Linseed oil is good for this.
"I let it lie about ten minutes before wiping for the last time. When the floor is dry I apply a coat of shellac. I thin this, so it will dry readily, and apply with a wide and pliable brush. Then I wax the floor with a prepared wax which I buy by the pounds and use a white cotton rag for the purpose.
"After the floor has remained in this state over night I polish it with the heaviest polishing iron I can use.
"Sometimes this iron weighs 50 pounds and the floor looks so well I am repaid for the effort. I always have success if I am allowed to finish a floor exactly in this manner."
If there are stains use a little turpentine on a rag to remove them unless they are ink stains, in which case a little oxalic acid will remove them.
The true secret of good looks in hardwood floors is never to wash them in soap and water.
If wax makes them too slippery the shellac alone can be supplied.
Soft wood floors can be finished like hardwood, and though they are more easily scratched they are to be preferred to carpets.
It is a mistake to put coloring matter on a floor.
Natural color is always preferable either in hard or soft wood.
For Making Good Coffee.
First, scald the coffee pot and be sure that it is thoroughly scoured and no stain is on the inside, then put in about one cupful more of water than you will require when it is done. Let it boll hard for five minutes and then put in the coffee which must be ground rather fine? Turn the pot away from a hot fire and let it simmer for ten minutes, then set it back where it will only keep hot and settle for five minutes. Put cream in the cups first and pour the coffee into it. Never attempt to use the coffee a second time nor add to the old grounds. Throw all out and start fresh with a clean pot.
Chicken, Family Style
Cut up a large tender fowl and parboil briskly. Drain or wipe each piece dry and place in dripping pan. Then add six thin slices of bacon, a lemon cut in thin slices, a pint of baby olives, a can of small mushrooms, half a dozen bay leaves, salt and pepper. Add to the liquor in which the fowl has been parboiled a pint of cream. Then pour the mixture over the chicken and cook for an hour and a half. Uncover the last half hour to permit the chicken to brown.
Apple Sherbet.
Cook the pulp of six apples in one quart of cider, seasoned to taste with sugar and cinnamon. When tender rub through a sieve, cool, and freeze; when partly frozen add the stiffly beaten whites of two eggs. Serve in chilled apple shells.
Dates and Cereal.
Cook any preferred cereal until well done and just moist. Remove pits from large dates and in their places put roasted and shelled peanuts. Roll in granulated sugar; heap on a dish and surround with hot cereal.
