MONEY SAVED BY PATRONIZING MERCHANTS WHO ADVERTISE IN THIS PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY SARCASTIC. New York Preacher Contends that Ben Tillman, Hoke Smith, Clark Howell and John Temple Graves Should be Hung up by their Necks for Causing Massacre of Negroes. VOL. XIII, SARCA New York Preacher Con- Hoke Smith, Clark He- Graves Should be Hu- for Causing Mass In a recent issue of the Chri- stian Nation, Rev. J. M. Foster, (white) writes as follows: "And what are we to say about this? Booker T. Washington counsels silence. Any condemnation of this outrage, he says, will only make the condition of the colored people in the South worse. But is silence justifiable? Is it right to see the whites falling upon the blacks and doing them to death as wolves devour the sheep and not lift up a protest? But something more serious than protesting is required. In Israel, when a man was found slain, the officers were to measure from the dead body to the nearest city, and the authorities there were held accountable. Now go to Atlanta and measure. The mayor of the city is nearest, but Senator Tillman, Hoke Smith, Clark Howell and John Temple Graves are nearer than he, for they were the instigators. But if Georgia will do nothing, then how far is it to the White House? Why has President Roosevelt kept his mouth hermetically sealed in the face of this outrage? When a few Japanese children in San Francisco were removed from the white children's and placed in one of their own, and Japan protested against the indignity, President Roosevelt was ready to act, and sent Secretary Metcalf to California to adjust the matter at once. Why does he turn a deaf ear to our colored citizens when their rights are evicted and they are brutally murdered? He protested against the Jews in Russia. Why does he not protest against the wholesale murder of his own citizens? "President Washington suppressed the whisky rebellion in Pennsylvania in 1796. President Jackson suppressed the nullification riot in South Carolina in 1834. President Lincoln suppressed the draft riot in New York in 1864. President Cleveland suppressed the Pullman car riot in Chicago in 1894. And why should not President Roosevelt put an end to this outrageous treason against law and order on the part of these Southern Negro haters. When Isarael sinned in the Wilderness, God commanded Moses to slay the heads of the tribes, who were responsible, as a warning to the people and an explanation to divine justice. Now it would not be merely poetic justice, but simple prose justice for Senator Tillman and Hoke Smith and Clark Howell and John Temple Graves to be hung upon the gallows before Atlanta, as a warning to whites of the South that their savagery towards the blacks will no longer be endured, and that the blood that defiles our land is thus expatiated. "The Republican party has abandoned the colored citizens and given them over into the hands of the whites, who have decreed to keep them under if they have to destroy them in doing it. It is time now for a man in the White House like Washington, Lincoln or Cleveland; a man with convictions and who will be true to them regardless of public opinion. It is also time for the colored citizens of the South to stand for their lives. The Covenanters of Scotland resisted unto blood at Pentland hills, Drumclog, Bothwell Bridge and Airmoss. Why should not our colored citizens stand for their lives at Atlanta, Charleston, Mobile and New Orleans? I do not know whether the Covenanters were perfectly right in the execution of Archbishop Sharp, but I am sure he deserved to die, and there was no other way of getting justice done. I do not know that John Brown was altogether right in going to Harper's Ferry and attacking the United States arsenal; but I am sure that he dealt a death blow to slavery from which it did not recover, and which in God's providence led to its downfall. For within two years 'the boys in blue' were marching through the South singing, 'John Brown's Body Lies Moulding in the Tomb, but His Soul Goes Marching on.' "And I do not know that it would be strictly within the letter of the law for a few sturdy colored men to arm themselves and go to Hoke Smith and announce that unless he will give them his pledge upon oath to cease publishing anti-Negro sentiments in his paper and uttering such sentiments on the platform they would take away his life. And when other companies had dealt with Senator Tillman and Clark Howell and John Temple Graves in the same way, John Brown's gauge would be again thrown down and the issue would be drawn. Men may say that is encouraging mob law. I answer, DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JANUARY 26, 1907. this is the result of measurement. We measured to the city authorities at Atlanta, but they would do nothing. Then we measured to the authorities of the State of Georgia, and they would do nothing. Then we measured to the President and the Congress of the United States, and they would do nothing. There is nothing left but the Scotch Covenanter way and the John Brown way. The land is defiled with blood. It must have a Phinehas to make an atonement. JUSTICE NOT PREJUDICE. Even though Senator Tillman is convinced that President Roosevelt's action against the men of the Twenty-fifth Infantry "is nothing more nor less than lynching." Senator Tillman during his speech in the Senate could not forget that they are Negroes. From that moment common sense quit. In his hatred to the colored man he was playing South Carolina politics just as Senator Foraker in his way plays anti-Roosevelt politics in appealing to the Republican Negro's prejudices. So long as the case of the Twenty-fifth Infantry has such champions President Roosevelt may rest secure and injustice will not be righted. The question of color has absolutely nothing to do with the matter. Whether the discharged soldiers are black or white, yellow or brown, does not affect in the slightest their rights to fair treatment. Men not charged with participating in the Brownsville riot, men admitted to be innocent of wrong-doing, have been convicted without proof and disgraced for all time, while the real criminals have been turned loose without punishment. The whole question is one of simple justice. Scheming politicians and loud-mouthed demagogues who seek to turn the Negro issue to their own advantage only serve to strengthen President Roosevelt's position and to prevent a fair and impartial consideration of the Twenty-fifth Infantry case.—N.Y. World. The fact that Senator Tillman is playing South Carolina politics in the stand he has taken in the Brownsville affair will not be disputed, but as to Senator Foraker, we believe he is sincere in his attitude of the case. The Senator from the Buckeye state has always been a staunch advocate of right and justice and any statement that he is looking for personal or political advantages in performing his duties, is unjust. Senator Jeff Davis of Arkansas declares he will never wear a dress suit while in the United States senate. It was never supposed that heatnens would wear dress suits and we see no rearon why Jeff should be an exception to the rule.—Seattle Republican. DOES DENVER WANT GREAT EXPOSITION? DOES DENVER WANT GREAT EXPOSITION? This is a question up to you Mr. Voter and property holder and booster for a larger and better Denver. Worlds Fairs will be the only rivals of the fine display of progress that is planned for the Queen city, when she reaches the fifteeth milestone. February 1908 is the time planned for the celebration of the big event. City officials and business men of the Capitol of Colorado are interested in the wonderful advertisement Denver will get as a result. Whether or not Denver citizens will avail themselves of the opportunity to take hold of this affair to boost remains for the common people as well as the Commercial bodies to express themselves for or against the Exposition. If plans which are slowly maturing are carried out to the extent contemplated Denver will witness next year one of the largest expositions ever held in the country, outside of the world's fairs. The idea is to have the opening of the exposition occur at the same time as the opening of the new auditorium, and to use the huge building for the major portion of the displays. Other space will be secured for the midway attractions, and the whole show is to be figured on such a scale that $25,000 will be spent throughout the West in advertising it. It will be possible to keep it open a month with profit. E. H. Allen of Cincinnati, who makes a specialty of managing expositions of this nature, has been in the city for the part few days, consulting with city officials, commercial men and manufacturers and laying plans for putting on in Denver the biggest fair the West has ever seen, with the exception of the Omaha and Portland World's fairs. Mr. Allen recently put on the same sort of a display in Cincinnati, which over 400,000 people attended in the four weeks it ran. "In looking the country over for the next place to give an exposition," Denver is the best city on the map. There is a civic pride here that is not exceeded anywhere else in the country, and the city and state and the whole tributary territory seem to be in a condition of increasing prosperity, which makes this the precise sort of a location 1 am looking for. "I understand that now since the contract for the auditorium has finally been let, the building will go ahead at once and should be completed within a year. February, 1908, will probably be the date of the opening, and I am confident that the show should remain open for at least four weeks. It is not in any sense a county fair or a state fair that we have in view. Its scope is much wider than that. It embraces everything that is new in the industrial world in all countries of the globe. New inventions, whether patented in Berlin, Germany or Alliance, Neb., will be on exhibition; all that is new in manufactures, art pure foods and farming implements; selected agricultural displays, and everything else along this line that will be of interest to the people in this part of the country. For the Coney Island end of the exposition we search the world for novelties and put on only the highest class attractions. "An exposition of this sort will advertise Denver and boost the city as nothing else could. We will give a show that will draw people from all over the West. Railroad rates are a certainty and there is no reason why there should not be an attendance of 500,000 in the four weeks that the exposition will be open. "It is the idea to offer substantial cash prizes to the buildings of the city that are the most effectively decorated, and the whole town will be put in gala dress all the time the show is on. "Night pageants will be given, band concerts, open-air exhibits and all the other aids to publicity will be used to the full extent, and everything will be done to make the exposition the biggest advertisement that this city has ever had." RACE NEWS Gathered from Various Sources. The Negro has contributed to the wealth of the Nation two billion and seven hundred million dollars and make annual contribution of six hundred millions. The last Quarterly payment of the Colored Knights of Pythias of Texas amounted to $7800. 26 beneficiaries were paid in full $300 each. All claims are paid and they have a balance in Treasury of $5452.14. Little Rock, Ark., Jan. 22.—The house of representatives today refused to adopt a resolution, already passed by the senate endorsing the action of President Roosevelt in the discharge of the Negro soldiers on account of the Brownsville riots. C. F. Taylor, a Negro chauffer of New York, has been engaged to drive Mrs. Daniel S. Lamont in an automobile over Europe. Mrs. Lamont is the wife of Hon. Daniel S. Lamont, secretary of war of the United States under President Cleveland. Jackson, Miss., Jan. 22.—Henry Ball, a Negro, was lynched at Greenwood, the home of Governor NO. 18. Vardaman, last night. He had attacked Mrs. Graves of that place. The coroner's jury to-day decided the Negro met his death at the hands of unknown persons. Among those at the annual reception of the President and Mrs. Roosevelt in honor of the Chief Justice and the associate justices of the United States Supreme Court held at the White House on the 17th inst. were Register of the Treasury W. T. Vernon and wife and Rev. and Mrs. O. J. W. Scott. The Negro Development Company, which is in charge of the Negro part of the Jamestown Exposition, is having very serious trouble with the national commission composed of government officials, about the bills which the company want the commission to pay out of the money allowed by congress to "assist" the company. Among other big bills is one for $20,000 salary for Giles Jackson, the so-called director general. Washington, Jan. 3.—The Democratic leaders in the House and Senate have been several days imploring the leaders in the constitutional convention of Oklahoma begging them to keep the race question of the new state constitution. The Democrats carried Oklahoma on the race issue. Their plan was for "Jim Crow" cars and all other means of segregating the races in vogue in the Southern States. The leaders here are pleading with the Oklahoma, leaders to leave it out of the constitution and do it by legislative enactment. The reason is that if Oklahoma adopts such a constitution the President will undoubtedly seize the opportunity to square himself with the friends of the Negroes in the North, whom, they say, he alienated by his action in the Brownnesville matter. An exchange from Houston, Texas says: Two white carpenters, John Eastman and Will Freeman, while working on the new Christian church, corner Bell avenue and Main street had a fight Tuesday over Eastman telling Freeman that a Negro was as good as a white man and that Negroes would have as much right in the church they were working upon as white people. Eastman is a recent arrival from Chicago. The trouble between the two men commenced, it is alleged shortly before the noon hour on a scaffold and the argument continued until they came down to eat dinner. When they reached the ground the controversy was resumed and a knife was used, and as a result Will Freeman was stabbed in the stomach and had to be removed to the St. Joseph's infirmary for treatment, and John Eastman was lodged in the city jail on a charge of assault to murder registered against him before Justice McDonald. oe eee ee Oey ee FORD'S ; ; : Formerly known an “QZONIZED OX MARROW”? likes.

Kas hota tc Sapee la e catr n a , ton lands set aside for use of the pro- posed forestry schools at Colorado Springs was passed by the House. The House passed the Laton libel bill, which permits the institution of elvil suit for damages in case of defam- atory publication where the publisher has been negligent in efforts to ascer- tain the facts. President Harper of the Senate has appointed Senators Campbell, De La Vergne and Lewis to serve on the joint committee of seven, which will inves- tigate the estate of the late Winfield S. Stratton. This committee will be- gin its inquiry at the earliest possible date, as ft has but thirty days in which to work, Monday, January 21st was the first pay day of the present legislative ses- sion. ‘The state treasurer's office paid ‘out approximately $20,000, covering the salaries and mileage of members and the salaries of employes. ‘The ex- Denses of the assembly from this time on will average about $1,000 per day. Among the bills reported favorably by the committee of the whole and confirmed by the Senate were Senate bills Nos. 10, 11 and 12, by Senator An- fenger, relative to the determination of heirships, the descent of real estate and amending the divorce laws. Also two bills of Senator Parks abolishing the mileage for certain officials, which is calculated to save the state approxi- mately $18,000 per year, and to pay the actual expenses of said officials. Representative Redd has introduced a bill to provide a separate juyenile court for the city and county of Den- ver. It is designed to take the affairs of the juveniles away from the county court, in order to place them in the hands of a judge who has nothing else to consider. Another bill on the same matter was to provide a detention house, where youthful prisoners might be instructed and started on the right way to begin life. Representative W. A. Smith from the committee selected in the Fifteenth ‘Assembly to select a site and make the arrangements for a monument on the Capitol grounds to the soldiers of the Civil War, has reported the action ta- ken. ‘The committee selected a spot directly before the west entrance and contracted for the construction of a granite monument in six pieces. Large bronze plates bearing appropriate in- scriptions will be attached to the sides, and above will be erected a cay- alryman, also in bronze. ‘The judiciary committee Wednesday reported for favorable action several measures, among them one that county treasurers shall not deposit more than $50,000 in any one bank; another com- pelling coroners to extend stenograph- ers’ notes taken at inquests; one ex- tending the time of chattel mortgages when a part of the principal has been paid, and another referring to the guar- anteeing of official bonds by surety companies. The committee on tem- perance recommended for enactment H. B. 59, the local option measure. Favorable action was taken by the Senate committee of the whole on S. B. Ne. 75, Senator Taylox, which seeks to procure a proper division of the ten per cent. derived from grazing fees do- nated by the government to counties upon which forest reserves are located. There are 14,000,000 acres of forest reserves in the state, reaching into thirty-eight out of the fifty-nine coun- ties, The federal government charges certain fees for the use of these re- serves, and now offers to return ten per cent. to the counties. The bill seeks to divide the bonus according to the proportion of reserves in each county, the money to be turned into the road fund. Most of ‘Tuesday morning in the Senate was given over to considera- tion of the Crowley resolution calling for an inyestigation of the Morgan bribery case held oyer from last ses- sion. ‘The resolution was read a sec- ond time, and when final action was taken, after much debate, the matter was placed in the hands of a special committee to he appointed by the chair. ‘This special committee of three mem- bers will investigate the entire matter and make a report to the Senate by January ist. It will also make rec- ommendations regarding the disposi- tion of the $950 alleged to have been given Senator Morgan as a bribe, which is still in keeping of the dis- trict_ attorney. ‘When H. B. 29, the pure food bill, came up for third reading in the House Mr. Wilder moved its recommitment for purposes of further amendment. His objection, he said, was to section 4, which provided that actions under the law could be commenced only by the secretary or members of the State Board of Health. He belleved that any citizen of the state should be permitted to bring actions. Mr. Kelly replied that the same matter had been passed upon by the House twice, and had been voted down both times, There was, therefore, he said, no good reason for recommitment. ‘The House refused to agree to the motion. ‘The bill was therefore placed on third reading and final passage, going through without a vote being registered against it. ‘The rules of the House for the pres- ent season were formally adopted at the sessions of that body Wednesday. A innihes af the Hannhlicnih who had Grand River of “Colorado. Tine yy ee ee state to the Colorado, by which name it is known in Utah, will be interested in the letter which he has written the officers of the chamber of commerce at Grand Junction. ‘There has been considerable objec- tion to the change on the part of Grand Junctiton people, that city be- ing located on the Grand river. The following is part of the explanatory let- ter of Senator Taylor: “As every one knows, the Colorado river is formed by the junction of the Grand and Green rivers, about 100 miles beyond our western border, and runs thence to the Gulf of California; and is in many respects the most pic- turesque and sublime river on this con- tinent. I do not know how or when the Grand or Green rivers got their names. But they are of comparatively very recent origin; and why neither of them were given the name of the main stream I never could learn, But it was doubtless through a lack of geosraphi- cal knowledge. I have read that in the old maps the Grand was called the Col- orado, but I have never verified that statement. “The Colorado river was discovered by some Spanish explorers in 1540. The word Colorado, as our school books say, was a Spanish word mean- ing ‘ruddy’ or ‘blood red.’ ‘The river soon thereafter took the name of the Rio Colorado, signifying the red water river from the reddish appearance of its waters, below the red sandstone hills and iron stained bluffs through which it runs the greater part of over 1,200 miles. ‘The river was known as the real Colorado of the West for nearly three centuries. “The act of Congress passed Febru: ary 2, 1861, creating the territory of Colorado, took the name from the river. Like the Missouri and the Mis sissippi rivers, the Green river fork is twice as long as the Grand, yet the grand flows more water, Js in reality the main stream of the Colorado river It is the largest and noblest river in the state, and it has a right to and should bear the name of Colorado from its source on the Continental divide to the Pacific ocean, over 1,600 miles “{ feel that as a matter of state pride we should make this change ‘The river should come from the state that bears its name. “Besides, we have a Grande river— the Rio Grande—in the southern par! of the state; and a Grand county ané a Grand lake and a Grand canon, ané grand mountains and grand scenery and even Grand valley; andeverything in Colorado is grand, until the work grand’ has no special significance or meaning whatever. While the word ‘Colorado’ stands for everything to ite citizens and means a world of posst bilities to all the inhabitants of the earth, and will have a far greater lus- ter in the years to come. “{ am fully mindful of the fact that your prosperous and rapidly growing city, of which all Colorado is proud, has’ spent many years ani thousands of dollars in Advertising Grand June: tion and the Grand river valley, and you are known all over this country. “But all legal rights are protected in this bill, and I cannot see where one dollar of that investment can be lost. On the contrary, the name of Colorado is a household word throughout the civilized world, and I confidently be lieve that we people in the Grand river valley can with ten per cent. of the advertising make the Colorado valley a hundred times better known and more desirable for homes and invest ments than we ever can the Grand valley by dll the advertising we can do during the next fifty years. Be cause every intelligent person knows how easy it is to advertise by a well known and popular word. “The Colorado valley, traversed by this magnificent state’ stream from Glenwood to the state line, would in a few years with its power, manufac: turing, fruit and many other possibil ities, become famous all over the globe ag the richest, most beautiful and densely populated valley in the Rocky Mountain region. I belleye the entire Grand river watershed would be won- derfully benefited financially by the change; while 1 am confident the en- tire state will heartily approve the measure as a matter of state pride and sentiment if the subject 1s prop. erly placed before the people by the press of this state. “I have, without consultation with anyone, introduced this bill on my own responsibility to call the attention of the public to, and to obtain an expres: sion of opinion on this subject. If Mesa, Garfield and Eagle counties disapprove of the measure, T shall promptly drop the matter. If they ap: prove of the change, I shall vigorously endeavor to pass the bill; and will then memorialize the Legislature of Utah to likewise change the name of that part of the river in that state; and Iam confident Utah will promptly and gladly do so as an act of courtesy to Colorado. “The stream not being navigable, 1 assume that an act of Congress is not necessary to effectuate the change. But if it ts, I will also take up the mat- ter with our congressmen." Senator De La Vergne offered an im: Senator De La Vergne offered an im: portant memorial to the Congress o! the United States, asking that speedy action be taken in passing the bill of Congressman Franklin 1. Brooks rela tive to allowing the state to acquire the lands in the southern Ute reserva: tion not occupied by the Ute Indians, under the Carey act. There are more than 100,000 acres of arid tand in the reservation not occupied by the Ind! ans, and the effort now being made Is to have the lands open to settlement the same as other desert tands. ‘The Interior Department hay ruled that the land in question comes under the spirit of the Carey act, but under the letter of the law cantot now be acquired. ‘The Indians have exempted the lands in the reservation along streams, as permitted by the government, and a feature of the Brooks bill is that the state shall pay into a trust fund for the Indians any money due them on water rights, ete. The memorial will be printed and come up in regular order of business. — Ree Ph Neto ee GR aa ASR.

Colorado Cattle and Horse Growers' Association. Denver.—The Colorado Cattle and Horse Growers' Association, the first of the various organizations to hold a convention this week, met Monday. President Roosevelt's stand for the leasing of grazing lands was condemned, and Colorado's "docked horse" law as it now stands was denounced. Its repeal will be sought. John W. Springer was elected president, succeeding E. M. Ammons. Monday night the members of the association had a banquet. The newly-elected officers of the Colorado Cattle and Horse Growers' Association are: President, John W. Springer, Denver. Vice President, James D. Husted, Cripple Creek. Treasurer—T. S. Harper, River Bend, Colorado. Secretary, Fred P. Johnson, Denver. Under the leadership of John W. Springer, the new president, the members look forward to a period of unprecedented activity. Before retiring from office, President E. M. Ammons took occasion to denounce the proposed leasing of grazing lands by the federal government. Mr. Springer, the new president, in his address, said: "There is no use in going against the federal administration on the fencing of the public lands. There is a man in the White House who believes in a square deal and is seeking the greatest good of the greatest number, and the rancher who depends on the public domain for his living is going to be out of business in ninety days." The morning session was opened with an address by Governor Buchtel, who made himself solid with the gathering at once-by telling them that he can milk a cow in fly time and retain his religion, which the members acknowledged was a hard thing to do. He then assured them that he would do all in his power to aid the Agricultural college of the state and assist in every way possible to boom the cattle industry in Colorado. There were many witty speeches at the banquet held at the Albany hotel. NATIONAL GUARD OFFICERS. New Appointments Announced by Gov eror Buchtel. Denver.—The following appointments in the National Guard of Colorado were announced Monday by Governor Buchtel. With the exception of the office force, they complete the appointments in the military department. Carleton A. Kelly, adjutant general, with rank of brigadier general, to succeed Bulkley Wells. John B. Goodman, Jr., assistant ad jutant general. Samuel B. Sholz, Colorado Springs inspector general. Matt R. Root of Denver, surgeon general. John Q. McDonald, Florence, military secretary. Colonel Kelly, the new adjutant general, was General Wells' assistant. That he would be made adjutant general has been an open secret for some time, as he had the indorsement of General Wells. As assistant adjutant general he has familiarized himself with every detail of the work of the guard, and it is his pet ambition to make it second to none in the country. Besides his knowledge of military technique, Colonel Kelly is college bred. He holds the degree of A. B from Amherst, 1895, and that of LLB from the Kent Law College, 1897. In his appointment as adjutant general Captain Goodman is promoted from the position of chief clerk, which he has held for several years, serving in this capacity under the administration of both Bell and Wells. Samuel B. Sholz, reappointed inspector general, holds a medical degree from the University of Denver, 1905, and is a practical military man. Matt R. Root, reappointed surgeon general, also holds a medical degree, being a graduate of the University of Colorado, Class of 1897. The military secretary, John Q. McDonald of Florence, will enter upon his third term in this office. He was a student at the Rennsalaer Polytechnic institute of New York. General Wells was not a candidate for reappointment, as he found the work interfered with his mining business. He was appointed by Governor McDonald. His term will expire April first. General Funston Declares That It is a Necessity. Washington.—"In San Francisco a bricklayer, plasterer or plumber receives more pay than a captain of twenty years' service stationed at any of the posts near that city, even considering the latter's quarters at the commutation of his grade. A hodcarrier in the same city receives more pay than a second lieutenant." This statement is made by Brigadier General Funston, commanding the department of California, in his annual report to the secretary of war. He made a strong plea for an increase of army pay, not for the officers just entering the service, but for those who have served long. He says: "No one believes that army officers should attempt to compete in display with persons of wealth, but they should be able to live decently without being continually harassed by fear of debt."

MEET AT DENVER NEXT YEAR Will Go to Los Angeles Two Years from Now—Approve Co-operative Livestock Commission Company—Re-elect President Murdo Mackenzie. Denver.—Giving President Roosevelt's plan for leasing the public domain their unanimous endorsement, and electing Murdo Mackenzie of Trinidad as president of the organization, to succeed himself, the members of the American Live Stock Association closed their tenth annual convention Wednesday afternoon with every prospect that the ensuing year will bring forth greater results to the cattle business of the West than any previous period in its history. Denver was selected as the next convention city, although Los Anglese gave her a close run, and a motion was passed significant of the intention of the organization to meet in the latter city two years from now. The perfect day attracted the largest crowds of the week to the Western Stock Show at the Union stock yards, where the horse fair and the public sale of shorthorn cattle were the attractions on the program. The hard work of the day gave place in the evening to the elaborate banquet given by the Colorado State Commercial Association at the Albany and the reception and dance to the visiting women, which took place at the Woman's Club. It is twelve years since the first agitation for a leasing system of the public domain was started, the first organization having been headed by M. K. Parsons, H. A. Jastro and A. E. DeRicgles, as president, vice president and secretary, respectively. These men have fought for the last twelve years to get the system introduced, and were accordingly jubilant yesterday when the resolution was put through and their opinions vindicated. The following resolutions reported The following resolutions reported by the committee were adopted: "Be it Resolved, That the American National Live Stock Association, in convention assembled, do heartily indorse and approve the plan of the national administration to classify and put the grazing and unoccupied public land under the control of the department of agriculture for grazing purposes, under some system of lease or grazing permit, protecting the interests of all concerned and working an injury to none; and, "Be it further resolved by this convention, That we respectfully request the President of the United States to appoint a committee of practical stockmen from the states and territories where the land is situated to confer with the secretary of the department of agriculture and the public lands commission as to the most equitable, and effective law to be passed on this subject." In addition to the very important resolution on the governmental control of public lands, the convention adopted also the following resolutions: Indorsed in glowing terms the efforts of Secretary Wilson in behalf of the livestock industry, and thanked the various branches of the Department of Agriculture for their efforts. Approved the organization of the Cooperative Livestock Commission Company and pledged to it the patronage and support of the association. Indorsed the present meat inspection law, which provides that the cost of the inspection be paid by the government, and opposed any change placing the cost of said inspection on the packers, as it was felt that such cost, if placed on the packer, would have to be paid by the stockman. Petitioned the federal government to take a full and comprehensive census of live stock. Indorsed a bill providing for the prompt furnishing of cars and for the proper interchange of loaded and empty cars between railroads. Requested the members of the association to furnish detailed information of delays in the handling of live stock. Indorsed Senate Bill 7887, which provides for the furnishing of livestock equipment upon proper notice, and for its prompt movement. Condemned the action of the railroads in their interpretation of the twenty-eight-hour law, and requested its members not to execute the written consent of the shipper to the extension to thirty-six hours, except where it was absolutely necessary. Approved the maximum and minimum system of protective tariff, and urged the establishment of a permanent non-partisan commission charged with the duty of studying our trade relations with foreign countries. Thanked President Mackenzie for his intelligent management of the association. Declared it to be the sense of the convention that the meeting of the association to be held two years hence shall be at Los Angeles, California. Following the adoption of these resolutions, Attorney S. H. Cowan, as chairman of the organization, reported that Murdo Mackenzie had consented, if it was the wish of the convention, to accept the presidency of the association for the ensuing year, and that the committee had selected H. A. Jastro of Bakersfield, California, as first vice president, and J. A. Lockhart of Colorado Springs as second vice president. The report was adopted and the three named were declared unanimously elected. Epidemic in Chicago. Chicago.—Women and children are fleeing Chicago in the face of the scarlet fever and diphtheria scourge which Tuesday reached a new high mark, the fever cases reported during the day being 145. Trains leaving Chicago daily for cities in the South, Southwest and along the Pacific coast are taxed to their full capacity, and in a number of instances it has been necessary to attach extra coaches. The record mark for the total number of contagious cases reported in one day was also passed when 214 cases were recorded at the office of the health department.

The Colorado Statesman has been so busy preparing good things for our readers that we have not stopped to take notice of the good things our subscribers are saying about us. On every hand this paper is being praised and complimented for its up-to-time news. Not long ago 100 copies of the Colorado Statesman was ordered from Washington, D. C. Last week an eight-page sheet of live news matter was delivered to our readers. Everybody said it was good reading, and the public ought to know. We want to thank you for your praise and promise you it will not swell our heads or hinder us from giving you the best Negro journal published in the West. All we ask you to do is to read it, invite others to read it and help us in pushing the circulation. We will every now and then stop to notice your appreciation, but our main purpose is upward and onward. The Colorado Statesman proposes to be in the vanguard of Negro journalism and give our readers "something worth while." Your part is to "boost" while we "push" and we will soon get to the top. THE PASSING OF A. T. LEWIS The founder of the great A. T. Lewis & Sons Dry Goods store passed over the range Sunday morning, January 20th, at 8:45 a. m., aged seventy-six years. He had been in ill health for some time. Aaron T. Lewis was the son of a Jersey farmer, was born in 1830, moved west at the age of seven years, located at Monmouth, Illinois, graduated from Knox college, Galesburg. His first capital consisted of a silver dollar and a suit of clothes. He came to Denver in 1879. In 1890 father and son established the present dry goods business. They started with fifty feet frontage on the ground floor of the Barth block. The firm to-day is one of the most substantial retail businesses of the West. Our interest in the A. T. Lewis & Co. store grows out of the fact that they are regular advertisers in our paper and they seek the patronage of the race. They have always given employment to colored help and were the second dry goods store in Denver to put colored boys on their elevators, thus leading the way for other stores to do the same. The colored employees of Mr. Lewis all speak of him as being very kindly disposed and just with his help and not showing partiality, but treating each one according to his merit. The firm will continue business under its present name, the three sons of Mr. Lewis conducting the business as heretofore. BUSINESS IS BUSINESS. There are several old adages, "business is business," "business before pleasure," etc., which translated means that business cannot be done on promises, songs or hopes, but only on sound practical, punctual business methods. Contracts are agreements to pay and ought to be regarded as sacred obligations. This the Negro has not yet learned to do and because of this is fast losing the respect of the business world. Firm after firm and company after company is declining Negro patronage with thanks. Do you wonder why it is so? Listen; it is not prejudice, not caste, not social contact or social discrimination, none of these things, it is simply lack of certainty, reliability and promptness on the part of the Negro to make good his agreement. It is this desultoriness, laxity, slackness and tardiness that is causing the Negro to lose out in the business world. The commercial agencies, the trade journal, the collection agencies are all filing a bill of complaint against the Negro and the merchants and business men are heeding their advice. In other articles to follow we are going to show the practical working of these changes against the race. We are not scolding, nagging or knocking the race; we are but telling living truths, truth to help us and not let us fall in the esteem of those with whom we have to do business. Keep your eye upon this column for sound business advice. The Colorado Statesman is in the field of constructive race help and is doing its duty. Keep the files of your paper and follow carefully our talks upon this important subject. The first article will be found in last week's issue. KEEPING YOUR EYES OPEN. Open and penetrating eyes are essential to real up-to-date progress. Seeing details and adding them to your already acquired store of knowledge, is the acme of business success or any other kind of success that may be named. The Holy Writ has only condemnation for the man who "has eyes and see not," and words of praise and promise for the man who has eyes and sees with them. Seeing to advantage is the boon of every man. There are so many good and new things to see in this growing world that a man ought never to use his precious time and splendid faculty in simply seeing the evil. The view point or vantage ground for observation is also necessary. Some people never place themselves at the right place to get a focus. A pool room, dive or gambling parlor is a poor place to see the great transaction of commerce. A card table or bar room is a poor place to see educational, literary or scientific progress, and bad associates and low levels are poor places to see spiritual visions. Get the right view point and train your opties and thoughts in the right direction and you will see thousands of opportunities and possibilities where one does not occur to you now. What the Negro needs now and needs sadly is a new vision and a new view point in order that he may see the wonderful changes and chances that is taking place around him every day. Read this paper and keep posted as to how you and yours may become a part in the various things that are transpiring every hour. If you have eyes then see. It is our duty to point it out for you. Copyright Law Unjust to Author and His Posterity By SAMUEL M. CLEMENS (MARK TWAIN). Nearly 7,000 books appear in America every year. Ten may live 28 years, and by the renewal of their copyright their lives may be extended to 42 years. The author dies about that time. His copyright perishes just in time to permit his children to starve, which is not quite fair. Until Inventory--February 1st It is a fallacy that the public gets the benefit when a copyright expires. There is a vague idea in the congressional mind that it is not a fallacy, and that by placing the present restriction on the author CHOICE OF THE HOUSE SUITS $20, $22.50 $25 QUALITIES $14 a benefit is being conferred on the nation. The member of congress thinks that by the restriction he is making the nation a present of a book, but as a matter of fact he is making a publisher a present of a book. OVERCOATS 1-4 OFF More on odd Ones If all books lived this would be all right. But when there are only a few, what is the use of taking away the little scrap of bread and butter which the author's children get from a copyright? $15, $16.50, $18.50 GRADES $11 In the early 90's, I remember the record showed that of the books launched 28 years before only two had been recopyrighted. In those years 5,000 books were published each year, and only two of them lived. These two books were "Christian Science and Health," by Mary Baker G. Eddy, and my "Innocence Abroad."

I shall hardly be in heaven before my children will not have a book to live on. GIGANTIC COMBINATION When you have passed 40 you are not laboring for yourself any more. You are laboring for the wife and the children. This is true of everybody except the author, who is stopped by the government at a certain time. His income is restricted, while the publisher, under the present copyright law, may take the profit that properly belongs to the author and add it to his own. UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THE The publisher ought to learn by experience that the very minute the copyright on a published book expires half a dozen publishers are ready to rush in to bring out a cheap edition, with the result that nobody gets any profit. UNIFORM RANK K. OF P. East Turner Hall FEB. 7, '07. The books which have been profitable right along under the copyright law cease to be so when the copyright expires. After the half-dozen publishers have rushed in it is very likely that the book will be left alone for some years; no publisher wants to take hold of it and burn his fingers again. Sometimes a publisher will be hardy enough to bring it out, but the book no longer has the vigorous life it would have had had its prosperity remained unbroken. A limited copyright law damages literature just as much as it damages the author. Waite's Moving Pictures are the [Most Reliable Pictures ever shown in Denver. They are new and startling. Don't miss seeing them. Come early. They will be Exhibited. There are few books that live 42 years. I should really like to know how many books this country has produced since it became a republic which still live. There are certainly not a great many, although we have published in America in this time 220,000 books.

Ledbetter, When a man comes before me charged with drunkenness, I try to ascertain first, whether or not he is a confirmed drunkard, and then whether or not he has a family at home needing his support. If I find that he is not a hopeless case, I suspend sentence, and put him on probation for a certain length of time, during which he is to report once a week to our probation officer, and if he keeps his promise to abstain from all intoxicating liquors during the probation period I discharge him wholly.

JOSLINS If I find that the man before me has a family, I put him on probation, too, often when I know him to be an habitual drinker. Why lock him up when his family at home needs the earnings of every day's work he can put in? And why fine him when it is taking bread out of the mouths of his wife and children? I believe, however, that when it comes down to solving the problem of intemperance, we must turn our ef- the problem of intemperance, we must turn our efforts to the children rather than to the grown-ups. I believe that children should be taught temperance and general morality in our public schools, just as they are taught reading, writing and arithmetic. Morality ought to be drilled into them from the moment they become old enough to understand. If we get to work on the children to-day, in another generation or two we won't have any bother with grown-ups. Cloak Prices Still Lower. LERoy B.

Once interested, however, there is no kind of school work he cannot make profitable. "I know of one boy," said a school teacher the other day, "who quickly realized the value of his lessons in making designs for book covers. The first lesson so fired his ardor that he could scarcely wait till he reached home to try his hand at making original designs for the books his father's firm was publishing. He made a large number, picked out the best and handed them to his father. The publishers accepted a few and now that boy is proudly showing his classmates how he gets paid in checks 'for services rendered.'" So peculiar is the formation of the feet that night and day the Tonquinese can run with perfect security over most dangerously rough and smooth places. From a narrow heel the feet broaden remarkably toward the toes, of which the great one is so separated from the others as to form with them a wide angle. And from the toes grow nails that can be fixed in the ground like hooks. This peculiarity in the feet of the natives of Tonquin has obtained for them among the Chinese the name Cao-Cl—the people with the crooked toes.—Rosary Magazine. --- for 37 years.

A railway accident, as novel as it was in its way sensational, is reported from Dunkirk, Scotland. A herd of 34 horses and 27 donkeys and mules, tethered for the night on some open ground near the station, were so terrified by a storm that they broke loose and stamped down the line. Into the dense mass of galloping animals a fast train from Calais dashed at high speed, killing 20 horses and seven of the other beasts, of which the carcasses were horribly mangled. The slaughter forced the train to slow down, and it was impossible to get up steam again, as the remnants of the herd trotted calmly back in front to Dunkirk. The owner of the animals was one of the passengers. 0 Batiste, Cambric, Swiss and Nainsook Edgings, Insertions, Corset Covers, Allovers and Demi-Floundcings, worth up to $1, for ..... 59c Batiste, Cambric, Swiss and Nainsook Edgings, Insertions, Corset Covers, Allovers and Floundcings, worth up to $1.50, for ..... 79c Batiste Bands, Circular Floundcings and Allovers, Swiss and Nainsook Demi-Floundcings, Corset Covers, Allovers, Full Floundcings and Edgings, worth $1.50 to $2, for ..... $1.00 Batiste Bands, Circular Floundcings and Allovers, Swiss and Nainsook Demi-Floundcings, Corset Covers, Allovers, Full Floundcings and Edgings, worth $1.50 to $2.50, for ..... $1.25 Feet of the Tongulnese.

Catching Whales in St. Lawrence The St. Lawrence river whale fishing industry is now running full blast in the vicinity of Seven Islands. It seems that the company engaged in this work is now taking on an average a whale every day. There are so many of these animals in the gulf that those engaged in the industry are able to select one out of the many which are seen disporting themselves in the water. They are quickly dispatched by a lance which is fired into them out of a gun on board the fishing steamer, and to the lance is affixed a bomb which explodes inside the whale after entering its body. Some are 80 feet long and weigh as much as 120 tons. One whale will often yield 50 or 60 barrels of oil, and a large quantity of whalebone, which is worth $300 a ton. Doing the Best She Could. Hotel story: A lady guest appeared at the hotel counter, and very politely asked for a glass of water. In a little while she appeared at the counter again and said: "I dislike to bother you, but would you oblige me with another glass of water?" The water was given her and she went away, but came back in a few minutes and asked for another glass. When she appeared and asked for a fourth glass the clerk said: "I beg pardon, but what are you doing with all that water?" To which she replied: "I hate to bother you so much, but there is a fire in my room and I am putting it out."--Atchison Globe --- CATTLE RAISING IN MEXICO It Has Become a Leading Industry in Last Few Years. San Antonio, Tex.—Mexico is buying more well-bred breeding cattle than any six states in the union. This is the claim made by breeders of good beef stock. From the most miserable specimens of range cattle to the finest grades on the continent is the record of the Diaz republic in the last ten years. The cattle-raising industry in the republic is now one of the principal sources of prosperity there. The large ranch of Don Louis Terrazas and his son-in-law, Enrique C. Creel, the new ambassador to the United States, which covers many thousands of acres in Chihuahua, is one of the best-stocked cattle ranges in the world. This ranch has more than a thousand Hereford bulls that are of the blood royal. But there are many other ranches in various parts of the republic where cattle of the best quality have replaced the scrubs of a few years ago. The dairy-cattle industry is also being pushed to the front in the republic, and all along the line the breed of live stock is being bettered. This is due in chief to the great number of progressive American cattlemen who have removed to the republic to engage in cattle raising. Their lead has proven profitable to the Mexican ranch owners. At the recent San Antonio international fair a Mexican ranch owner made an order for 500 miles of wire fence for his sheep pasture. BOY SEEMS UNDER BAN Blind, Deaf and Dumb, No Institution Opens Its Doors to Him. Bellefontaine, O.—The disposition that is to be made with Wilbur Reynolds, age seven years, who cannot see, hear, or speak, now rests with Gov. Harris. Neither the Logan county infirmary nor the children's home has accommodations for the almost helpless child. He was sent to the blind asylum by Probate Judge Plum of Logan county some time ago, but the superintendent there said he could not keep the child because he was also deaf and dumb. Then he was transferred to the deaf and dumb asylum, but now the superintendent there says he has notified the Logan county officers that the child cannot remain there because they have failed to make any progress with him, and he thinks the boy is not mentally competent. When application was made for the admission of the unfortunate boy to the imbecile asylum the superintendent of that institution said he would not take him because his institution was crowded. He refused to accept the charge from the Logan county officials. Now the matter has been laid before the governor to see in what institution he thinks the boy belongs. In the meantime the child is at the deaf and dumb asylum, but the superintendent insists that he will have to be removed from there. FARMERS STOP WORKMEN With Pitchforks and Guns They Hold Up Work on Transmission Line. Lockport, N. Y.—A gang of farmers, armed with pitchforks and guns, held up work on the transmission line of the Niagara, Lockport & Ontario Power company, near here, while workmen were engaged in building fences to separate the transmission line property from the farm lands. The farmers declare that they gave the company deeds to a strip of land 200 feet wide, but the company is endeavoring to steal more land by placing the fences on the farm lands regardless of the dividing lands The farmers heid that they could not get satisfaction by peaceful methods, and accordingly organized at a farm house and drove to the scene of operations in a hay wagon. Lining themselves up across the transmission line, they ordered the workmen to quit, at the same time leveling their guns and holding the forks in a threatening attitude. The workmen sneered at the farmers and continued operations. Then a battle started. Guns were fired, and the workingmen, becoming frightened, ran away. No one was hurt. The differences will be settled by a consultation between the company and the farmers. PAGE "AD" FOR BIBLE CLASS Resort to Publicity Brings 150 New Members at a Time. Knoxville, Tenn.—The Cumberland men's Bible class, which inserted a page advertisement in a local newspaper last spring, and was discussed throughout the country, had another page advertisement to-day. The class is part of the Sunday school of the First Cumberland Presbyterian church. Its teacher is O. P. Sterling, a business man. "Advertising pays in business. Why won't it pay in a Sunday school?" asked Sterling of the Rev. W. T. Rogers, the pastor, and the plan was adopted. One hundred and fifty new members were the result. Now 150 more are wanted. A paragraph in the advertisement reads: "Men—Give us your attention a moment. The world to-day is crying more than ever for men of Christian character. Great corporations, financiers, business men are joining in this great appeal for men of merit and Christian integrity." THE COLOR Would increase Buffalo Herd. Plans for the propagation of the American buffalo were discussed at a recent meeting of the American Bison Association in New York. It was stated that there were 2,250 in North America, of which 1,400 are in the United States, and that in view of the rapidity with which the animals have decreased in recent years it was argued they will soon become extinct unless effectual steps are taken to foster them. The society decided to make an effort to purchase practically all the remaining buffaloes in this country and Canada and present them to the United States government. By so doing it hopes the government will set aside large tracts of land where the bison may be raised on a large scale. The society decided to look into the practicability of locating several herds of buffaloes on the Flathead Indian reservation in northwestern Montana, and in the Crow reservation in southwestern Wyoming. Morton J. Elrod, of the University of Montana, will be asked to report to the society upon the possibilities of the Flathead reservation.

Shakespeare as Novel Hero. William Shakespeare is the hero of a new and striking novel by the Danish woman writer Sophie Banditz. Moreover, British and American readers will probably soon have a chance to read this tale, for Queen Alexandra, who recently read it in the original, was so much impressed by it that she advised the authoress to have it translated into English. This translation is now proceeding and the English version is to be dedicated to the queen, who is herself a Dane. Life of Horses and Dogs. The statement has been made that horses average from 20 to 30 years of life, and dogs from 12 to 14 years. A French encyclopedist credits the horse with 30 to 40 years, the dog with 20 to 24. There is a sufficient range of uncertainty in these figures to cause doubt whether detailed study has been made of the subject.

SHOCK LIKE AN EARTHQUAKE Deadly Disaster in Las Animas County Mine of Colorado Fuel & Iron Company—Frantic Woman and Children Looking for Lost Ones. Denver.—A Trinidad special to the Republican Wednesday night says: One of the worst mine disasters which has visited southern Colorado for a year was an explosion in the mine of the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company, at Primero, about 3 o'clock this morning, which is believed to have caused the death of twenty miners, the entire shift, besides badly wrecking parts of the mine. The explosion was felt throughout the camp rocking houses and causing the inhabitants to believe that an earthquake had visited that section, and the populace, so rudely awakened, fled terror stricken from their homes. Excitement soon was intense. The latest information to-night is that twenty men were in the mine and it is the general belief that all are dead. At 7 o'clock to-night a total of four bodies had been recovered, the name of only one being given. He was Frank Hobat, a miner, whose body was recovered this morning near the main entrance to the mine. Among the known dead is R. J. Lumley, the fire boss, who is believed to be the only American caught in the disaster, the others being Italians and Austrians. The force of the explosion stopped the fan which conveys air into the mine. The main entrance is blocked with a mass of rock and timber as are also the two air shafts which were the only possible means of escape for the entombed men, had any of them been fortunate enough to have been alive. It is believed that those who were not instantly killed were suffocated by the afterdamp, as all means of escape were cut off. The mine in which the explosion occurred is known as the North mine, it being located north of the other mines of that camp. Late to-night the mine had only been penetrated 200 feet through the main entrance. The work of the rescue party is most difficult. Large boulders, some weighing several tons, blocked the entrance. Timbers were broken like toothpicks, letting down tons and tons of earth and other debris. Miners from nearby camps flocked to the rescue of their fellow workmen at the first news of the disaster and as a result several hundred men are on the ground ready to render all assistance possible. News of the explosion went quickly through the camp this morning and within a few minutes the main entrance was surrounded with frantic women and children looking for their husbands, brothers, fathers and sons. Many of the women in their excitement attempted to assist the miners in gaining entrance to the mine, but they soon saw that their efforts were futile and then it slowly dawned upon them that all in the mine were dead. The scenes were pitiful. PRIZE PATRIOTIC ESSAYS. Offer Made to Pupils of Colorado Public Schools. Denver.—A committee appointed by the Sons of the Revolution has issued a proclamation announcing its fourteenth annual offering to the students of the public schools in Colorado, of three prizes, one of gold, one of silver and one of bronze, for the most meritorious original essay, the subject this year being "Colonel Ethan Allen: His Services in the American Revolution." The essays should contain not less than 1776 nor more than 1907 words, and must be delivered to the committee on or before April 5, 1907. Prizes will be publicly awarded by the governor of Colorado April 19th (Lexington Day) at Denver. The committee consists of C. Valentine Kirby, 1445 Emerson street, Denver; George Bedell Vosburg, D.D., and Ralph Voorhees. All essays should be mailed or delivered to Chairman Kirby. Katherine L. Craig, superintendent of public instruction, personally requests county superintendents, principals and teachers to co-operate in inducing their pupils to compete for the prizes. TO READUST RATES. Interstate Commerce Commission's Work at Denver. Denver.—The nature of Commissioner A. C. Prouty's remarks just before adjourning the hearing of Denver business interests until next April on the question of unreasonableness of railroad rates now before the interstate Commerce Commission, plainly indicated to those who heard him that the commission is contemplating a adjustment of rates for the entire country from Chicago and the Mississippi westward. The keystones in this prospective adjustment are Denver, Salt Lake City, Butte and Spokane. The decision effecting the entire western country will hinge on the Denver and Spokane cases, which will come up for final hearing and decision before the commission in Washington on June 3d of this year. Commissioner Prouty made it quite apparent that he believes that Denver and certain other western points have been discriminated against and that relief will be given. More Earthquakes at Kingston. Kingston.—Two earthquake shocks, the heaviest since the destructive ones of January 14th, were felt here at 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. Several buildings were thrown down, and there was great alarm among the people. No one was injured. Twenty-Seventh Annual Convention Meets in Denver. Denver.—The establishment of bee-breeding stations by the government where purely mated queen bees may be secured by bee breeders in the same manner as seeds are now distributed by the Agricultural Department, was advocated at the afternoon session of the twenty-seventh annual convention of the Colorado Bee Keepers' Association, which opened Tuesday morning at the chamber of commerce. To carry out the organization's plans a committee, consisting of Frank Rauchfuss of Denver, M. A. Gill of Fort Collins and Oliver Foster, was appointed to confer by letter with Frank Bentley, head of the United States entomological department. This department now breeds bees, imported from all over the world, but for experimental purposes only. According to the idea outlined by the bee keepers yesterday breeding stations would be established in Colorado and other sections of the country under federal supervision with the mating of bees of the best breeds as the main object. Queen bees are wont to mate on the wing so that the breeders are unable to tell whether or not the mates which they bring home are pure. The only way of preventing impure mating is keeping the swarms in yards. The stations would not be unlike the experimental horse station now conducted at Fort Collins in purpose, the only difference being that the bees bred would be distributed on request, whereas the horses bred by the government are only experimented with. If a station was conducted in Colorado a bee keeper living in Wisconsin could write for a queen bee and mate and would receive in return the bees enclosed in a tiny cage made for the purpose. The objection raised by the few members present who opposed the idea was that if bee keepers were allowed to receive their bees from the government, cattle owners would have a right to make requests for horses reared at the experimental stations. Another question of importance discussed was the proposed food law now before the Legislature in its relation to the honey interests of the state. A stringent inspection of honey was advocated and a resolution adopted urging an appropriation of $25,000 for such inspection. The convention opened with the annual address of President W. P. Collins of Boulder. He urged co-operation of the members in securing an important place for the honey industry in Colorado. A paper on "How I succeeded in Retailing Extracted Honey," read by S. Francis of Erie, opened the afternoon meeting. Mr. Francis showed that he was successful in retail trade, but others who discussed the paper told different stories. "In my case," declared T. W. Porter of Boulder, "retail trade has worked successfully in country towns, but not in cities. The reason is that city people are not as honest as country people. I can't afford to lose money on the jars which they won't return." "When I began dealing in retail honey in the city," said Fred Bldner, "I informed my customers that every jar returned a free jar of honey. This plan worked all right at first, but later I found the crafty ones bringing me every old jar they could find." "Is the Pure Food Law Responsible for the Advance in the Price of Honey?" was one of the topics on the program, which produced considerable diversity of opinion. The consensus, however, was that at least fifty per cent. of the increase was due to the law's provision in regard to the use of glucose. LIVE STOCK CONVENTION. American National Live Stock Association in Denver. Denver.—The American National Live Stock Association met at the Broadway Theater Tuesday morning. President Murdo Mackenzie called the convention to order and the delegates were welcomed by Governor Buchtel. Col. W. E. Hughes, a prominent cat-tleman, responded, saying that all the world looked to the West for future development. President Roosevelt, he said, had been educated by the West and the West had elevated him to the high position which he now holds. Gifford Pinchot, government forester, was then introduced and presented the following message from President Roosevelt: "I extend greetings to the American National Live Stock Association and beg the delegates to consider the following: In my judgment the government control of public ranges is evidently coming, and quickly coming. It is right that it should. I believe it is to the best interests of all users of the public domain, including the live stock men, that it should come. As government control of the public ranges is one of the fixed policies of the administration, I will be glad to get the advice of the association as to the form it should take for the best interests of all concerned." The message was delivered verbally by Mr. Pinchot. President Mackenzie then read his annual address. Following are some of President Mackenzie's recommendations: That shippers should watch out for their own interests and if a wrong is done to immediately report it to the interstate commerce commission. That the stockmen should see that a law is passed prohibiting railroad companies from paying any dividends on stock, especially watered stock, until they first show that their roads are properly equipped. The railroads, said the president, in numerous instances have failed to provide cars for stock shipments. That Congress be asked to grant power to the interstate commerce commission to control railroads with respect to the car supply and how it shall be distributed. That the government should pay the cost of meat inspection. That all alaws, both state and national shall be enforced through the concerted and united efforts of the stockmen. SAID WOMEN MARRIED HIM. Remarkable Excuse Put Forward by French Bigamist. At Versailles, France, recently a baker was tried on a charge of polygamy, having married five women, who are living and undivorced. The pentagamist's defense was that he had not married the women; they had married him. When they proposed he had not the courage to say no. Neither money nor love, he said, had prompted his nuptials; he was the victim of the stronger wills of his successive spouses. Of the five wives three appeared as witnesses, but did not prosecute, saying that their common husband was a toper of whom they were glad to get rid. He was acquitted—on what ground does not appear. As all the years in which the multiplex husband took wives were leap years except 1881, in which it would seem that in four out of the five cases the women had the right to propose. But the man had the right, even in the leap years, to decline, and it was up to him at least to explain to his fair suitors that he was engaged. To establish the principle that a man is not responsible for the number of his wives unless he himself does the courting, would be plainly against public policy. If "Barkis is willin," that at once puts all the responsibility on him, no matter who managed the preliminaries. AWFUL EFFECT OF ECZEMA. Covered with Yellow Sores—Grew Worse—Parents Discouraged—Cuticura Drove Sores Away. "Our little girl, one year and a half old, was taken with eczema on that was what the doctor called it. We called in the family doctor, and he gave some tablets and said she would be all right in a few days. The eczema grew worse and we called in doctor No. 2. He said she was teething, as soon as the teeth were through she would be all right. But she still grew worse. Doctor No. 3 said it was eczema. By this time she was nothing but a yellow, greenish sore. Well, he said he could help her, so we let him try it about a week. One morning we discovered a little yellow pimple on one of her eyes. Of course we 'phoned for doctor No. 3. He came over and looked her over, and said that he could not do anything more for her, that we had better take her to some eye specialist, since it was an ulcer. So we went to Oswego to doctor No. 4, and he said the eyesight was gone, but that he could help it. We thought we would try doctor No. 5. Well, that proved the same, only he charged $10 more than doctor No. 4. We were nearly discouraged. I saw one of the Cuticura advertisements in the paper and thought we would try the Cuticura Treatment, so I went and purchased a set of Cuticura Remedies, which cost me $1, and in three days our daughter, who had been sick about eight months, showed great improvement, and in one week all sores had disappeared. Of course it could not restore the eyesight, but if we had used Cuticura in time I am confident that it would have saved the eye. We think there is no remedy so good for any skin trouble or impurity of the blood as Cuticara. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Abbott, R. F. D. No. 9, Fulton, Oswego Co., N. Y., August 17, 1906." No Longer Novel When James P. Magenis was chief deputy in the internal revenue service he was stricken with a severe attack of typhoid fever, and it was some weeks before he was able to resume his duties. Before his illness his hair was luxuriant, but after it a bald spot began to show, which was noticed by a deputy, who spoke to him about it. "Pardon me, Jim," he said, "but you are getting bald, and you know a head of hair like yours is quite a novelty these days." "Yes," said Magenis, "I have been told my hair was quite a novelty, but do you know," he said, and a gleam of fun was in his eye, "I notice since my illness, that every time I run my hand over the top of my head the novelty is wearing off." Thoroughly Reliable. It ever there was a reliable and safe remedy it is that old and famous porous plaster—Allcock's. It has been in use for sixty years, and is as popular to-day as ever, and we doubt if there is a civilized community on the face of the globe where this wonderful pain reliever cannot be found. In the selection of the ingredients and in their manufacture the greatest care is taken to keep each plaster up to the highest standard of excellence, and so pure and simple are the ingredients that even a child can use them. Allcock's are the original and genuine porous plasters and are sold by Druggists all over the world. Japanese Hot Baths. In Japan hot baths are used at a temperature of 104 degress. Fahrenheit. Immediately they leave this the bathers plunge into perfectly cold water. A European doctor who has spent many years in Tokio declares that, after a bath of this heat and the subsequent douche, he used to feel warm all day in the coldest winter weather, while in summer the bath had the exactly contrary effect, and was most cooling and refreshing. Wonderful Incandescent Hans Zuzel, an Austrian chemist, is said to have perfected an incandescent lamp which is made of filaments of cheap material, but of great durability and capable of burning 3,500 hours. Dr. William' Pink Pills, Used After the Grip, Arrest Fatal Decline and Rebuild the System. Any bodily weakness caused by a deficiency in the blood can be cured by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills because these pills actually make new blood. After attacks of the grip the blood is generally run down and the patient continues to decline. "About three years ago," says Mrs. Jennie Cowan, of 718 N. Henry Street, West Bay City, Mich., "I caught a severe cold, which ran into the grip. I was confined to my bed for two weeks. At the end of that time I was able to be about, but was completely run down. I was so weak I could hardly stand, my cheeks had no color and I felt faint. My heart would flutter and it was difficult for me to breathe at times. Neuralgia settled in the back of my head and stomach and I suffered from rheumatism in my shoulders. "I had the care of the best doctor in town but became no better until a friend told me one day how she had been cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and I decided to try them. I soon felt better and continued using them until I was entirely cured. They built me up again to perfect health and I use them now whenever I feel at all sick and they always help me." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are invaluable in such cases, as well as in other blood diseases, because they not only drive off the germs of the disease but build up the system. The pills have cured anaemia, rheumatism, after-effects of fevers, neuralgia and many other severe disorders. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or sent, postpaid, on receipt of price. 50 cents per box, six boxes $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y. Makes Plea for Dance. It seems a very great pity that some determined effort cannot be made to make dancing more popular. Nowadays, when exercise is a kind of religion to men and women alike it is odd that one recommended by all doctors and recognized all the world over and in all ages as an attractive pastime, into which the art of fascination largely enters, should be more and more neglected among us.—Lady's Pictorial.

Mr. Peterson's project is to locate a colony of Swedes on this big tract of land, and to put every acre of it under cultivation, cutting it up into forty and eighty-acre farms. BALM OF SCRIPTURE HEALING PROPERTIES OF PINE KNOWN TO ANCIENTS. Oil of the White Pine Tree Used Successfully by Physicians in Treating Consumptive Patients. The Oil of the Pine Tree is supposed to be the balm of Scripture. It contains great medicinal properties and was regarded with the utmost esteem by the ancients, and to the present day is peculiarly prized by the people of the East. A noted authority on diseases of the throat and lungs, who established a camp for consumptives in the Pine Woods of Maine, says that his entire treatment consisted of fresh air, nourishing food and the Pure Virgin Oil of the White Pine Trees, mixed with Whisky and Glycerine in the following proportions: Virgin Oil of Pine (Pure) .. 1/2 oz. Used in teaspoonful doses every four hours. It is claimed the above mixture will heal and strengthen the lungs, break up a cold in twenty-four hours, and cure any cough that is curable. The ingredients can be secured from any good prescription druggist at small cost, and can be easily mixed in your own home. Virgin Oil of Pine (Pure) is put up only in half-ounce vials for dispensing. Each vial is securely sealed in a round wooden case with engraved wrapper with the name—Virgin Oil of Pine (Pure), prepared only by Leach Chemical Co., Cincinnati, O. plainly printed thereon. There are many rank imitations of Virgin Oil of Pine (Pure), which are put out under various names, such as Concentrated Oil of Pine, Pine Balsam, etc. Never accept these as a substitute for the Pure Virgin Oil of Pine, as they will invariably produce nausea and never effect the desired result. Berth Was Reserved. Franklin K. Lane, interstate commerce commissioner, went west last week. He wanted to reserve a berth from Chicago to Minneapolis. He wired the request and this reply came back: "Can't do it. Interstate commerce commission will not allow it." He fired a wire back reading: "By what authority do you say interstate commerce commission will not allow you to reserve a berth in a sleeping car?" The Pullman agent answered: "By the authority of a recent ruling." Mr. Lane was interested by this time and he telegraphed: "I am a member of the interstate commerce commission and am not familiar with the ruling. Give me, a reference." And a short time afterward he received this telegram: "Berth reserved." Life Without Mind. The possibility of life without mind, while not subject to positive proof, is a theory that has gained considerable strength recently through its advocacy by Dr. L. Laloy, librarian of the Academy of Sciences, Paris. He believes that many of the smaller living organisms, such as insects, are mere moving machines, having no more intelligence than may be ascribed to plants. He refers to the well known fact that insects are attracted by light, often to their own destruction, and ascribes it to the same cause that inclines the plant to grow toward the light. Confederate Congressmen. Fifteen men are known to be still alive who served as confederate congressmen—John Goode and Roger A. Pryor, Virginia; A. S. Colyar, J. D. C. Atkins, Joseph B.

A lady in a Wis. town employed a physician who instructed her not to eat white bread for two years. She tells the details of her sickness and she certainly was a sick woman. "In the year 1887 I gave out from overwork, and until 1901 I remained an invalid in bed a great part of the time. Had different doctors but nothing seemed to help. I suffered from cerebro-spinal congestion, female trouble and serious stomach and bowel trouble. My husband called a new doctor and after having gone without any food for 10 days the doctor ordered Grape-Nuts for me. I could eat the new food from the very first mouthful. The doctor kept me on Grape-Nuts and the only medicine was a little glycerine to heal the alimentary canal. "When I was up again doctor told me to eat Grape-Nuts twice a day and no white bread for two years. I got well in good time and have gained in strength so I can do my own work again. "My brain has been helped so much, and I know that the Grape-Nuts food did this, too. I found I had been made ill because I was not fed right, that is I did not properly digest white bread and some other food I tried to live on. "I have never been without Grape-Nuts food since and eat it every day. You may publish this letter if you like so it will help someone else." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

Five Weeks in Bed With Intensely Painful Kidney Trouble. Mrs. Mary Wagner, of 1367 Kossuth avenue, Bridgeport, Conn., says: "I was so weakened and generally run, down with kidney disease that for a long time I could not do my work and was five weeks in bed. There was continual bearing down pain, terrible backaches, headaches and was so ween ed and generally run down with kidney disease that for a long time I could not do my work and was five weeks in bed. There was continual bearing down pain, terrible backaches, headaches and at times dizzy spells when everything was a blur before me. The passages of the kidney secretions were irregular and painful, and there was considerable sediment and odor. I don't know what I would have done but for Doan's Kidney Pills. I could see an improvement from the first box, and five boxes brought a final cure." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. Rajah's Unique Convevance.

How many women do you know who are perfectly well and strong? The cause may be easily traced to some feminine derangement which manifests itself in depression of spirits, reluctance to go anywhere or do anything, backache, dragging sensations, flatulency, nervousness, and sleeplessness. These symptoms are but warnings that there is danger ahead, and unless heeded, a life of suffering or a serious operation is the inevitable result.

They suited only the tall and thin, but the short, fat woman added ten or more Inches to her breadth and deducted an equal number from her height with great cheerfulness, rather than appear old-fadioned. This is but one of the many instances of ridiculous adher ence to a particular style of gown. In hats, in size, shape, and color there is no limit; sense and good taste alone are requisite. As to coiffures, they may be worn high or low, and with or without the pompadour, mar. celled or plain, whichever suits best the individual type. ‘The light weight broadcloths, wheth- er plain, checked or otherwise, are seen in many of the modish costumes, ‘The plain cloths are used for the for. mal calling costumes, and the checks for the informal and tailored costumes for walking and informal wear gener. ally. Indeed, cloths seem to lead over velvets this season at the smart day affairs, where, as last winter, any number of velvet gowns were in eyi- dence. trimmed with bands of the material, the stripes runting crosswise; these are’ bor- dered with nacrow bias bands also of the materia\, ‘The shawl collar is of brown velvet, the waistcoat Is of cream-colored cloth fastened. with, mother-of-pearl buttons. The jacket {8 finished with a little plaited basque and the sleeves, are fin- Ished and trimmed to correspond. ‘The skirt is made with ten gores or breadths, the stripes running alternately lengthwise “and ¢rosswise and forming vox plaits in two widths. It is trimmed with the bias bands, giving the same effect as on the jacket. In colors there are many shades of gray, castor and brown. It may safely be said that, so far as the writer has observed, there are more gowns worn of these colors in different shades than of any other, save black. Green is worm in great moderation, there is no more blue in evidence than usual, for blue is a staple color, and, as for mauve, exquisite as it is, it is tryme and less of it is worn just now. Some of the most beautiful panne cloth costumes are in rich cerise pinks and a warm yellow; the latter sounds odd, to say the least, but that is the color, a soft dull shade, not apricot, not lemon, and one that blends admir- ably with certain browns. One very attractive costume we noted the other day was one consist- ing of a walking skirt and Eton coat of one of the new checked cloths, the checks about a third of an inch across and in dull colors. In the somewhat dim light the checks looked to be a blue and brown, or green, ‘The little Eton coat hung out from the figure above the belt, but long enough to touch it if pulled in, and at the top there was a pointed-yoke ef. fect, produced probably by the trim ming. The sleeves were of medium size, and the coat and the skirt also were trimmed with bands of plain cloth or else braid an inch and a quar- ter wide. These plain trappings out- lined a hip yoke at the sides only, the strappings then running down the skirt, dividing it into panels. The gown was topped by a pelerine, and she carried a muff to match. The hat worn was a moderately large, almost flat, oval-shaped affair, with a low crown. It was a sort of castor brown, with a knot of blue or green velvet at one side, combining well with the color of one of the checks in the costume. From this knet a white aigrette streamed up and then back. ‘The purple velvet reception gown shown herewith is a superb example of the use of Venetian point in a rich ream, almost an ecru. It may be sus- pected that that part of the jupe cov- ered by the coat is of soft silk or satin and that the coat is tacked to it, for it ‘would be a sartorial sin to cover so ‘much exquisite and costly lace as a ‘whole skirt would necessitate if worn with so long a coat drapery. ‘The coat of the skirt is cut into gores, each overlapping the one in front and each a bit shorter as it goes toward the front, until the two sepa- rete in the front to show the lace panel.

One lit. tle boy appeared unusually interested, and when the first time came for questions to be asked was the first to secure the “floor.” “Teacher,” he said, “is God in my home?” “Yes,” my dear.” “Is God in our parlor?” 4 “Yes, dear.” ir “Is God in our kitchen?” 7% “Yes.

Next Door. ‘The reason why the people next door are invariably regarded as most worthy of our javelins is plain to me. They have a piano. I do not know of any race that is quite so unpleasant as the people next door. They are not like any ordinary people who live else- where. They obtain their music on the hire system, as it were, and it is generally of the type we most detest. Are we worldly minded? They chas- ten us obtrusively with hymns—or Mendelssohn, who is for some obscure reason regarded as a moral force in the suburbs. Are we of the clect? They hurl at us with defiant persist- ency the latest blood-curdler from the “halls.” The thing that passes with them for a piano is calied upon to do the work of three, and the wall divid- Ing our respective houses, be it borne in mind, is a beautiful conductor of sound.—Outlook.

To straighten whalebone soak for a few minutes in lukewarm water, then press straight with a slightly warm flatiron. When cleaning brass add a little methylated spirit to whatever polish you may be using. It not only helps to remove stains, but also prevents the brass from tarnishing again s0 quickly. Tortoise shell combs should occa- sionally be well rubbed with the palm of the hand to restore their brightness. If very dull, just a suspicion of sweet oil may be used, but as a rule a rub with the palm of the hand only is quite sufficient. To clean feathers, wash in gasoline, which can be procured at most oll shops. Shake till dry, and then curt with a bone or silver knife. But rey member that gasoline is highly inflam- mable, and should not on any account be used in a room in which there is a fire or artificial light of any kind. Out of doors is really the best place to use it. Starched things should be rather damp for ironing. If ironed when too dry the starch is really thrown away, as it does not stiffen at all. ‘After washing decanters or cruets, turn them upside down and allow wa- ter from the cold water tap to run over them| In about five minutes’ time they will be beautifully dry in- side, and if the outside is carefully wiped and rubbed they will sparkle beautifully. ‘A hint for frosty weather: Windows often need cleaning when it is so cold that if water were used it would at once freeze on them. Try using parat- fin instead; a rag dipped in it will clean glass perfectly, and give it a brightness impossible to obtain with water. Tissue paper makes a good pol- isher, or, in fact, almost any soft pa- per. PROPER CARE OF THE SINK. Precautions That Are Absolutely Nec: essary to Health. All wood should be removed from a sink, according to Good Housekeep- ing, and replaced with a porcelain sink, back and sides; that being too expensive, then use slate, zine or cop- per. The material should be absolute- ly impervious to moisture and with- out paint, which only wears off and leaves an untidy surface. Modern plumbers use iron instead of lead pipes almost entirely, and yet, by care, the old lead ones may continue to serve. Frequent flushing of the sink is an absolute necessity for per- fect freedom from danger. It should be done with very hot water, but fol- lowed by a little cold water, lest the heat cause a vacnum and draw the water off the trap, leaving it open for gases to escape through the outlet of the sink. The treatment should be applied to every fixture in a house after the cleansing process. Mow taba Library Digan: A couch or divan in a library is al- ways desirable, and if a cover in soft brown velour is used, with pillows of bright old orange, deep gold and the varying shades of brown piled on in profusion, it will be an artistic addi- tion to the room. ‘The pillows, many of which should be put on the couch, may be made of inexpensive pieces of denim, canvas and burlap, any one of which comes in tones of yellow and brown that will be effective. Just for contrast one or two handsome cushions should be used in the pile. A striking one of golden silk, with a deep brown ruf- fle, or finished with a cord and tassel, would be attractive, as would be also a lemon colored silk pillow, with a touch of old orange at the corners. wp) hse AenlacinitG: One pint and a half of bouillon (which can be bought In cans), one box of gelatin, two eggs, half pint of pale cooking sherry, one kitchen cup of water.

Boston ferns that have grown so large and luxuriant as to permit di- viding into smaller plants may have cuttings taken away from the roots without damage to the plant, if care- fully done. If transplanted to the right soll and kept under proper con- ditions the cutting should root well and develop into a healthy plant. A fern does not need hot and inces- sant sunshine. Two of the finest Bos- ton ferns known to the writer spend the entire winter in windows where scarcely a sunbeam falls, though there is plenty of light. A little sun, how- ever, does them no harm, and a moist atmosphere is esential. Care of Wooden Articles. All wooden articles may be cleaned thus: When grease spots are found, cover these thickly with soft soap, then hold a red-hot shovel over the placa, close to the soap, after which wash with Fuller's earth and water, and then with clean water. Where boards have been neglected, use one pound soft soap boiled down with one pound Fuller’s earth, one pound soda, and two quarts of water, til reduced to half.
