Its Discussion in Pulpit, Press and Platform Growing More Vigorous. VOL. XIII, Washing The Race Question is the Most Po- people. Its Discussion in Growing Mo Special to Colorado Statesman: If any one had been disposed to believe that the race question in America was taking up considerably less of the public time than formerly, events and opinions, as expressed in leading magazines and in the debates and addresses of important conventions since the year 1907 was ushed in, must thoroughly have convinced him of his error. Not only is the question just as prominent as ever but in some directions there are evidences of an awakening desire to at least seem to consider it with a tolerable kind of fairness, which should be abundant proof of its vigorous life, no less than a sign of its being advanced a degree or two on the docket of thought and opinion. Among the magazine articles which are particularly luminous and generally fair, are those of Mr. Ray Stannard Baker in recent issues of the American on "The Color Line" These articles show a quite genuine desire to get at the truth at first hand. They show the real genesis of the Atlanta riots—the pressure and irritating influence of a vicious and unscrupulous news agency upon a depraved and prejudiced rabble. They show how largely the inoffensive, the dilligent and self-respecting, the intelligent and the thrifty Negro, exceeds, both in numbers and influence, those who are shiftless and discreditable. The subject matter is strongly emphasized by photographic cuts of persons, homes and places of worship and business, which speak eloquently of high ideals in all those things which make life a benediction and the future a pleasurable anticipation. Incidents expressive of the prejudice entertained against Negroes of all classes are frequently given and the admission is solemnly recorded, that the best class of whites deplored the same and through their committee, delegated to talk over the situation with a number of representative Negroes, said to the world that their prejudices were both foolish and unreasonable. The fact that any number of white persons in a southern locality so far suppressed their inclinations and ignored their traditions is a most hopeful sign and a powerful argument in favor of the belief, that the question of race has in no sense lost its interest for the American people. Among the eclesiastic utterances --- of the period of which we now write, there is one which is most interesting and must be of much weight and influence. Bishop H. V. Satterlee of the Episcopal diocese of Washington in a recent address to the convention of that denomination, has given voice to opinions which are both helpful and conflicting. The Bishop recognizes and approves the high ground advocated by the Apostles of the church in dealing with the barbarous Goths and Vandals; Lombards and Huns; Danes and Norsemen who flooded central and southern Europe, and says if the church is faithful to her mission, it will do as it has done to the end of time. He says further, "It is true that the early church never came into contact with the Negro and that she had to do with much stronger races of men, but that this is no excuse for inactivity in America and that all historic lessons point the other way and if it is true that the church has helped these other races in former times it should certainly help this weaker race and make it morally strong." In this sweeping and manly generalization, the Bishop recognizes and subscribes to the doctrine of the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man which is most noble and generous, for in the days of the races whom we have just named it was the individual condition and worth of manhood which suggested and controlled his civic and social status. The races then were not segregated and legislated for separately in church and state as now. Thus in consideration of the Negro question, in its relation to the church, does the Bishop and other modern day eclesiasts prove themselves inconsistent and heretic from the faith and action of the early church. The Bishop is duly mindful of the seriousness of the problem with which the church is confronted and says that if she is paralyzed with the consciousness of the political and social obstacles with which she will have to contend, she is no true descendent of the Apostolic church. Stripped of all superfluous verbiage, the Bishop simply reaffirms the usual attitude, that the church probably feels itself too superior and consequently is so narrow that it will not permit itself to take the Negro by the hand in all true kindliness, and in the spirit DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JUNE 15, 1907. of the Christ himself, who hesitated not to lift the poor and despised of mankind into the most perfect and harmonious relationship with himself. The Bishop subscribes to the Thomas Nelson Page idea on this subject, which is indicated by the following "What we have to do is to stop interference with the natural operation of natural laws and leave each section to settle the question as suits itself." It is not difficult to realize and appreciate the kind of settlement we should have from that direction and therewith the Bishop is thoroughly inconsistent for he would seem to advocate an adjustable standard or sort of sliding scale of church ethics which might be regulated by the latitude of the location. After all it is not a question of religion, so much as it is one of broad and deep humanity—the ability to recognize and appreciate the fact that all humanity wherever found are equally the involuntary and mysterious expression of an Omnipotence, "Who, of one blood has made mankind to dwell together upon the face of the earth." The clergy of whatever denomination, are sadly lacking in them most beautiful, as well as the most essential element in the character of that Divine Teacher, that Man of Sorrow, that loving Elder Brother, who do not feel impelled to extend an equal fullness of opportunity for the soul and body growth of all the sons of men. The want of this vital, humanizing, christianizing force was cruelly shown in an incident witnessed by the writer a few days ago. A crowded car, speeding department folks to office, took on an old colored washerwoman with her basket on her arm. When just within the door, the grip was loosed and the car leaped away so suddenly, that the old woman staggered forward halfway its length, and fell to her knees. White women and men seated on either side gazed with stolid faces and in some instances were so inhuman as to sniker, but none advanced to help her rise and she regained her feet with difficulty unassisted. Has it not been written that "In asmuch as ye have done it unto one of these little ones, ye have done it unto me." May we not, too, believe that the poor black washerwoman was also included in this tender pleading. JOHN H. PAYNTER. RACE LOSING ITS GRIP For the past ten or fifteen years our race has not made much progress. We may not believe this, but few of our great race leaders have studied the question. We must face oppositions on every side. The white race is working for its own welfare. We as a race are too independent. We must place value on ourselves and gradually work higher. The last few years we have failed to gain in population above the whites. Immigrants are taking the labor from us. One reason is that they can afford to work cheaper. The working class that comes from foreign countries are usually of a low degrading class. Friends, we need patience. It takes a great deal of patience to succeed. Look back to the days of our forefathers. We have no trials that are worthy to be compared to theirs. Our days are all sunshine compared to theirs. Just think of the bloody lashes. The majority of our people do not plan ahead and save for rainy days. Money burns in their pockets. It does seem true that some people think it comes easy, therefore go easy. One thing hurts some of our people when they get very fair positions. They get what is commonly called the big head. The sooner we stop trying to hide our faults, the sooner we will become aware of our weakness. Then, and then only is the time that we will begin to press onward and upward. Our race lacks a great deal in this one point. They who have money like to have it known. They will scheme in all ways that are possible to tell it, show it, and tell how they got it. We are weak because we are not patient, nor bold and frank enough in business. Money is the root of all evil. Remember we are not the only race who have to overcome difficulties. Let this be the means of strengthening us.—Columbus World. TOO LOUD AS A RACE We, as a race, are not aware of the fact as we go about our daily routine we are noticed by that class which is above us. They discover our weak points, and from these we are judged. There is too much quarreling done over petty things. It is not the point that we quarrel more than those above us, but we are too loud, everything we do is made public. The higher class keep these things to themselves. We are below them, therefore we can not do and act as they. But we ought to grasp every opportunity in immitating them in those acts which are uplifting. Let us learn the true use of our money and how to carry on business. Let us learn to put ourselves on level with our means, live for something else besides fine clothes, houses, etc. These are only temporary things. We have something far higher than this to live for. Let us live for the betterment of the race. Finery does not make the person. But a noble character, good reputation adds more than these. Let us work together, helping one another, lifting humanity and furthering God's cause.—Ex. BE DECENT Young man, why don't you be decent? Why not grow to manhood with honor and credit instead of a stain upon your character? It is just as easy. It is always easier to be a man than to be a rowdy. Cigaretts and gambling and whiskey have had many a wrestle with boys long before you came on the scene, and they have never yet been thrown. Don't get the idea into your head that you can turn the trick. If you don't want to be decent for yourself be decent out of respect for mother and father and others. There is one heart whose sorrows should appeal to you. There is one who has to bear the cross for your foolishness. You don't want your trail through this world stained with a mothers tears. The boy who turns a brazen face to a mothers grief never gets very far on the road to happiness. When he gets a little older you find his name on the police docket of various cities. A little later the dark shadows of stone walls loom up across his pathway. Without honor, home or friends 'tis a sad picture, but it is painted every day in every town in this broad land. The pathway of the transgressor is one of rocks and thorns. When you bruise your feet the world will laugh at you, just as you laughed at your mother's appeals. There is only one system for a boy to follow. Be decent. It always pays dividends.—Ex. WHITE RAPISTS White Sulphur Springs, W. Va. May. 27.—Last night, near Marlington, two unidentified men held up an eloping couple from Marlinton, and after tying the man, Martin Gladwell, to a tree, assaulted the prospective bride. Miss Mary Bird, aged 18, daughter of a hotelkeeper at Marlinton. She is in a critical condition today. There had been no objection to their marriage, except on account of age, but the young couple decided that parental objections should not count, and started with a horse and buggy for Lewisburg, county seat of the adjoining county, to secure the necessary license and be married. They had proceeded only a few miles when their horse was stopped by two men. One unhitched the horse while the other held the occupants of the buggy. Supposing that their attempt at elopement had been discovered, NO. 38. and that nothing more serious than their return home would result, they offered no resistance. But after the horse had been removed from the harness, the men quickly tied Gladwell to a tree. Leaving the man gagged and helpless, they took the girl into the woods near the scene of the hold-up. After several hours of hard work Gladwell managed to loosen his hands and escape. He saw no signs of Miss Bird or her captors, and hastened back to Marlinton, although the crowd at first were determined to lynch them, but cooler counsel prevailed. Miss Bird had to be carried to Marlinton, and her condition is serious. It is feared that the excitement of the night and the cruelties to which she was subjected may drive her into insanity. This is the second crime of the same nature which has occurred in the same section within a year, the former one having been committed at Ronceverte about a year ago. RACE NEWS Gathered from Various Sources. A national bank for Negroes will be organized at Toledo, Ohio, with Toledo, New York, Cleveland and Washington capital. It will be the first Negro bank North of the Mason and Dixon line. "The Wife of His Youth," the novel by C. W. Chestnut, the Negro novelist, has been dramatized and was presented at Oakland Music hall, Chicago, April 30, by a Negro company. Harry Cummings, colored, was elected councilman at Baltimore, Md., in the district where the late Hiram Watty, white, was defeated at the last election by a Democrat. Mr. Cummings was elected by the largest vote of any Republican on the ticket. Hillsboro, Ill., June 1.—A labor war is on in this city. E. E. Frey, who has the contract for paving the streets, is bound to complete the work in a stated time. Owing to the numerous rains the work has been very much delayed. A few days ago Frey enlisted all the laborers he could find in Hillsboro, and even then Frey was unable to secure sufficient men. He imported a number of Negroes from St. Louis. This infuriated the Hillsboro, laborers to such an extent that dire threats were made against the Negroes if they persisted in continuing work. Nineteen of the Negroes accepted the threats and quit work, returning to St. Louis. The remaining force of Negroes are still at work and there is grave fear of violence HERBERT MANN.

PACIFIC FLEET INADEQUATE Naval Department Admits War With Japan Would Mean Loss of Hawaii, Alaska and Guam. St. Louis.—"Japan intends bringing about war with the United States at the earliest possible moment," is the exact phrase used by Richmond P. Hobson in an interview here. Mr. Hobson is en route to southwestern cities to deliver a series of lectures. "Japanese officers are teaching military science in important schools in China, and under their guidance China is founding arsenals and raising armies in ecah of her provinces," he said. "It is natural for the Asiatic people, now that they are on the theater of the world, to believe the white and yellow races are to have a Titanic struggle for supremacy. The contest naturally will include a struggle for commerce, and Japan wishes to control the great market of China and have the yellow races control the commerce of the Pacific. "Because of our having neglected to fortify our Pacific possessions, and failed to build an adequate navy, Japan could take our possessions eastward without material resistance. Therefore, it is important for the people to realize that the Japanese government intends to bring about war with the United States at the earliest possible moment. "Not wishing to fly in the face of the world's opinion, Japan must create a plausible pretext for war, and no matter how trifling it will be seized upon for this purpose." Hobson believes the United States should station its entire naval force near Hawaii and the Philippines. He says permanent peace can be established with Japan only by building a greater navy. Washington. — The administration is in a sad state of perplexity regarding the naval situation on the Pacific coast and in the Far East. The strategists of the Navy Department are divided on the important question of whether or not additional warships should be ordered to Pacific waters. It is conceded that some battleships are badly needed in that quarter and the only reason they are not dispatched at once is the fear that such action will have a disastrous influence on the Japanese question. While there is nothing in the present relations between the two nations that threatens to become a casus belli, there is always the possibility of a crisis being precipitated by a hasty or imprudent act inflaming the people of one country or the other. Army and navy officers have figured on the possibility of what would happen in the event of war. Practically all of them concede that at the first blow the Phillipines would fall into the hands of the Japanese, which would be followed by the losing of Guam, Hawaii and Alaska. At the same time the Pacific coast of this country would be at the mercy of the Japanese fleet, provided the Mikado decided to risk sending it across the seas to bombard and lay siege to the coast towns of the slope. All the Washington strategists have resigned themselves to these losses within a brief period after the commencement of hostilities. Consequently the desirability of increasing the naval strength on the Pacific coast and in the East is admitted by every one. From what officials say it is believed that steps in this direction would be taken at once but for fear of the effect of such action. It would stimulate war talk and arouse the suspicions of the Japanese government. The weakness of the American navy in the Pacific will be realized when it is stated that not a single battleship flying the Stars and Stripes is to be found between San Francisco and Manila. Three squadrons are maintained, one Chinese waters, one in the Philippines and one along the Pacific const, but the most powerful craft in the combined fleet is an armored cruiser of less than 15,000 tons. Glad He Didn't Kill Peabody. Boise, Idaho.—Former Governor Peabody and Harry Orchard met face to face in the office of J. H. Hawley a few minutes after the recess was taken at noon. Orchard, while plainly nervous from the strain of the morning's examination, had recovered his equanimity and was speaking to one of the men who had accompanied him from the court house, when the governor entered. Orchard recognized him at once. His face changed, and, as Mr. Peabody approached the man who had hunted him for a year seeking an opportunity to kill. Orchard's face changed. He shrank back and trembled. The former governor smilingly held out his hand, saying: "How are you, Orchard?" Orchard broke down completely. He said: "I am ashamed to look at you, sir—I am ashamed to speak to you." The governor reassured him, in a few words, and Orchard replied: "I am thankful that I didn't kill you, and am spared the thought of that crime." Former Queen is Dying. Newport, R. I.—That Mrs. William Astor, former queen of society, has but a short time to live, was the opinion expressed today by Col. John Jacob Astor in announcing that his mother would not visit Beachwood, her villa in Bellevue avenue, and the Cliffs this season. The breakdown was foreshadowed when Mrs. Astor went to Paris at the beginning of last summer. She visited the fashionable shops of the city, buying lavishly beautiful garments suitable for a girl of twenty, and conspicuous because of their brilliant colors and radiant materials. Upon her arrival in Boston, Mrs. Astor became alarmingly ill. She planned expensive dinners, receptions, grand balls and supper parties, preparing hundreds of invitations, which were burned by the physicians in attendance. ORCHARD OFF THE STAND. Attorney Richardson Does Not Believe Jury Will Convict Haywood. Boise, Idaho.—Harry Orchard is off the witness-stand, and a sigh of relief went up from those in the court room when he was released. Both sides say they are satisfied with his testimony. Senator Borah gave out a statement in which he sums up the results of Orchard's testimony: "It must be conceded," said he, "that Orchard's testimony has close enough resemblance to the truth to justify the apprehension of the defendants and their extradition to Idaho. It is my belief that Orchard is the most marvelous witness that has ever appeared—considered from any point of view. "When he stepped down he was, if anything, in better form physically than the minute he assumed the witness chair, notwithstanding he had been submitted to a week of gruelling investigation that would fatigue an ordinary person to the point of collapse. Whether he is telling the truth or lying it must be conceded that he has told a remarkable story and has exhibited powers of endurance and vigor of mentality that is astonishing. "There are some phases of the witness which I do not care to discuss. To me he is still the murderer of my friend Frank Steunenberg. I am unable to reconcile in my mind any change in the man whom I first suspected on the night of December 30th." Attorney Richardson gave out a statement of his views on the results of the cross-examination: "When Orchard finished his direct examination," he said, "the popular feeling was one of outrage and revenge against the persons whom he accused. I think this feeling is altogether modified and changed. Whereas Orchard, in his direct examination, made himself out to be a monster, we have shown him to be infinitely worse than he portrayed himself under the lead of the state's attorney, but with this condition, that the crimes to which he has confessed it is shown he himself is responsible for. "The cross-examination has shown that Orchard has a most remarkable memory for the details of all the crimes he mentions, but when it comes to connect the defendants with his acts his memory is treacherous and will not permit him to fix time, place or number of persons present at any of the conferences he alleges took place. He could not tell us within two or three weeks or a month of the date of these conversations, nor would he tell us the places where they took place. It was impossible to break him down because he had nothing to conceal. At no stage of the examination was he trying to save himself. "We are well satisfied with the results of the cross-examination and I believe the jury will hesitate a long time before convicting anyone on such a story as he tells." Richardson entered a vigorous protest against a report to the effect that the state was contemplating prosecutions against a number of the witnesses for the defense on the charge of perjury. "The publication of such an article, even before one of our witnesses has been called," he said, "is a palpable attempt to scare them away; the purpose being to injure the defense." It is possible that Judge Wood may be called on to take some action with reference to the offending paragraph. Lands Restored to Entry Washington.—By order of the secretary of the interior there will become subject to settlement on September 30th and subject to entry October 30, 1907, about 2,980,000 acres of land in Alaska. The land restored was withdrawn June 30, 1903, for the proposed Northern Bay national forest, and is situated immediately on the north shore of the North sound south of St. Michael and about fifty or sixty miles south of the Arctic circle, in the Juneau land district. Other restorations have been made as follows: About 250,240 acres temporarily withdrawn for the proposed Deer Lodge and Ruby Mountains national forest and for an addition to the Helena national forest, Montana. About 220,000 acres withdrawn for an addition to the Madison forest, Montana. About 39,640 acres withdrawn for forestry purposes near the Snowy Mountains national forest, Montana. About 69,680 acres withdrawn near the Las Animas national forest, Colorado. About 224,000 acres near Fruita, La Sal and Uncompahgre national forests, Colorado. About 35,200 acres near the Pike's Peak forest, Colorado. About 24,960 acres near the Holy Cross forest, Colorado. About 50,880 acres adjoining Crazy Mountain forest, Montana. About 20,320 acres near Bitter Root forest, Montana. He Wants Vindication Colorado Springs.—General L. C. Dana, past commander of the Grand Army, Department of Colorado and Wyoming, and prominent Republican politician, filed suit in the District Court against E. N. Maxwell for $5,000 damages. The suit is the outgrowth of a controversy of the recent department encampment. Maxwell published a letter that Dana declares was defamatory to his character. The latter intimated that post funds were used to boost Dana for office, and that immunity from the payment of dues was promised to members of the post if they would vote for Dana for post commander. The letter also attacked Dana's military record, alleging that he rose "step by step from a short-time private, (100 days), spent at Jefferson Barracks, Missouri, over men that had worked their way, step by step, or rather, chair by chair, and were entitled to the commander's chair." Maxwell is reputed to be a man of considerable means, but Dana declares that all he wants is "vindication." Maxwell, it is said, was given an opportunity to retract his article in the newspaper, but ignored the demand made upon him by Dana's attorneys, and the matter is now in the courts.

That an article may be good as well as cheap, and give entire satisfaction, is proven by the extraordinary sale of Defiance Starch, each package containing one-third more Starch than can be had of any other brand for the same money.

The Democratic Idea. "The monarchs of to-day are wise in their generation," remarked the shade of Diogenez, as he carefully filled his lantern with the best automobile oil. "In olden times the kings used to keep fools; now they let the fools keep them." Tong Haks of Korea. The Tong Haks present the only virile patriotic faction in Korea. But it is a faction now threatening, now dispersed, now on the war path, now dissolved among the body of the people, now robbing and looting, now fighting, and now busied with theological arguments in a manner so impossible to western thought, motives and methods that it is almost impossible to characterize it. It is the more difficult because the Tong Hak belief partakes of the nature of a religion and of piracy, of metaphysical discussion and of massacre, and also of patriotic resistance to official extortion.

THE DENVER POST recently gave us a general resume of the Negro problem in a rather extended comment upon the ideas and aspirations of our fellow-towsman, Mr. J. N. Walker, whose views upon the question of African emigration for American Negroes are quite well known. The Post writer seems to base his views of the race problem in America upon two fundamental theories, both quite common with the well-purposed white writer, who, in this case at least, reasons solely with his head because he has no considerable heart in the matter. The first is that the attitude assumed by the white people of this country toward the Negro is natural and therefore right; and the second is that the Negro reluctantly accepts the attitude with all of the sacrifice of independence and pride and other subjugating consequences entailed, in the hope that sometime, perhaps in a thousand years, he will become assimilated with, and finally lost in, the great body of the white race; in fact that some day he will be a white man. Both of these conclusions are wrong. The attitude assumed by the American white people toward the Negro is not natural. It is partly the offspring of political influences and partly the result of erroneous notions of natural social tendencies. The enfranchisement of the Negro was not so great a mistake as has been the effort to hinder his development into an intellectual and responsible enfranchised citizen. In the English and French dependencies of the West Indies, closely neighboring us, there are no such problems, no such tense racial conflict as those which exist here in the United States, and yet the races are but slightly more closely related socially than they are here. They do not intermarry more there than here, but the unhampered law of social selection accomplishes there, without friction or resentment, more than rabid legislation or hateful edicts of racial superiority have accomplished here. The secret of their success and their peace lies in the fact that the dominant people have encouraged the growth of social gradations among the Negroes by conceding fair and equal reward to intellectuality. There is a certain pride and restraint of race existing everywhere, which works naturally and sufficiently for the preservation of the primal stock, but it is never wisely re-inforced by radical and presumptive legal enactments. The Negro does not accept the attitude and the conditions assumed by the white American with the resignation presumed by the Post editor. The Negro in America has not given up, and will not give up, the hope of racial entity, but he is not yet sufficiently developed to realize what "the pride of independence" really is. He is going to the white man's school; he is bearing the ills that he has rather than fly to others that he knows not of. But the love of race is strong within him, and the faint dreams of the future that break in upon his wondering vision are not dreams of subservience to another race, however closely bound to that race he may now feel. The question of African or other emigration and the gradual institution of a new nation is easy to think of, but a mighty thing to compass. As yet the Negro hardly thinks of it, and his greatest men preach against it. They are wise. But their wisdom is not complete. The time is not yet. Mighty things are not compassed in a puny way. The question is a mighty one. FOLLOWING THE COLOR LINE IT is seldom that a white man gets close enough to the Negro to get a clear and reliable insight of his inner life, but Ray Stannard Baker, who is writing a remarkable series of articles for the American Magazine, is one white man who is doing that very thing. We have referred to one of his former articles, and we now have before us the June number of that magazine, in which he continues his treatment of the above subject. It is a study of the lower classes of the Negro as he has perceived those classes in and about Atlanta, and along with indictments which cannot be denied, and which Negroes do not seek to deny, are recited causes so deep and truthful that even Negroes wonder that white people have so long remained ignorant of them. The lazy, idle and vicious Negro is the result of conditions in the South which the white people generally overlook, visiting their deep impatience and displeasure upon the entire race rather than endeavoring to correct or cure the economic conditions which are largely the cause of trouble between the two races, and for which the white man more than the Negro is actually responsible. The lower class Negro is born almost a stranger to ambition, and to his weak and undirected mind a greater premium is put upon laziness and vice than upon steady, virtuous effort. The doorways to vice, licensed by white men, and wherein white men make easy money off those who work only enough to satisfy their appetites and lower cravings, are wide open to these classes of Negroes, and therein their natural indolence finds encouragement. Although labor is in great demand and the South is largely dependent upon the Negro to do its work, the shiftless and unsteady classes increase rather than diminish, because higher wages enables them to more easily satisfy their wants and permits them to work less than formerly. The better classes of Negroes apply their earnings to the purchase of properties of their own and to the procuring of that education for their children which the South, in its public policy does not seem to adequately provide. Thus is much of the only present source of labor supply in the South diminished. The lure of the city, with its licensed vices, and the failure of the South to provide adequate facilities for the reasonable education of that class which eraves education, are two opposite causes, both detrimental to the better conditions of the South, so far as the labor field is concerned. While Mr. Baker's articles deal wholly with conditions in the South, they are not without apt application in certain respects to conditions affecting the Negro in those northern cities or sections where his numbers have materially increased in late years. Certain political considerations which give license to indolence and viciousness have been truthfully charged with responsibility for increased crime. The weaknesses of the Negro are systematically preyed upon by white men in one way or another, while the results are charged indiscriminately against the Negro. It is simple and but truthful reasoning to argue that the stern opposition of the white people to the natural desires of the Negro to get far away from old conditions as soon as possible, and the savage injection of social fears, based upon impossible and unnatural conceptions of racial relations, into that determined opposition, are at the bottom of those conditions which, while they flay and scourge the Negro, must return to curse the white man, particularly the white man of the South. New Theology is Gospel of the Humanity of God By REV. REGINALD JOHN CAMPBELL, Pastor City Temple Church, London. HE new theology is not agnostic, but is the gospel of the humanity of God and of the Divinity of man. This is only incidentally a theological movement. It is far more a moral and spiritual movement. It is a religious quickening; it is rising spontaneously in every church in Christendom, and sooner or later it will call the whole civilized world back to God. It will put an end to the alienation from religion of the masses on the one hand and of the intellectual classes on the other. It is the gospel of the kingdom of God. I have been teaching these truths for years. I dislike the phrase "now theology" but THE new theology is not agnostic, but is the gospel of the humanity of God and of the Divinity of man. This is only incidentally a theological movement. It is far more a moral and spiritual movement. It is a religious quickening; it is rising spontaneously in every church in Christendom, and sooner or later it will call the whole civilized world back to God. It will put an end to the alienation from religion of the masses on the one hand and of the intellectual classes on the other. It is the gospel of the kingdom of God. I have been teaching these truths for years. I dislike the phrase, "new theology," but must accept it because it has come to stay. Some of the arguments are as old, almost, as the hills. But its general adoption is coeval with the adoption of modern science. The great results we have from modern science to-day are comparatively new. Modern science of itself is scarcely 50 years old. Science is only the mind trying to understand the universe. As soon as religion becomes theology it must either be consistent with science or be foredoomed. For the universe explored by science is, after all, the very universe which calls the soul to prayer. For want of a better phrase let us call the movement the new theology. But one can call it also the higher politics or the higher sociology. For it is one and the same thing. The social reform movement is the gospel of the humanity of God and the Divinity of man. Social reformers may not admit it, they may not know it. They may say the movements are parallel. But I believe they are one and the same. The church has nothing to do with getting men into Heaven. Its real work is to get Heaven into this everyday world. Too long has the church been trying to save men from suffering in the world to come. Too little it has concerned itself with the root suffering in this world. But social reformation, that is, the gospel of the kingdom of God, is surely and swiftly spreading. When men get up in the United States congress, in the English parliament, in the legislatures of the world, and discuss and plead the cause of the poor, the betterment of the unemployed, the sanitary housing of the masses, old age pensions, they may be called by the press and public socialists, labor leaders, not, but they are the true Christians; they are preaching, as well as I am, the gospel of the kingdom of God. What is wanted in the world to-day is a general conference of the churches of all creeds, the sinking of those creeds, and the liberal discussion of our common aims. Each church now holds its own conference. At these they go over the same ground. These same questions discussed at conferences of Episcopalians, Methodists, Baptists, Presbyterians, all the other churches, are exactly the questions discussed in the legislatures, at meetings of social reformers, at street corner meetings, by press and pulpit and public. They are the questions of the hour, the day, the progress of Christianity and the betterment of the world. How much closer we could get to the betterment of the condition of human affairs if the churches joined hands in unity of purpose with men of science, ethical teachers and social reformers. Instead of the puny work possible from a score of separate little bases we should have a greater, grander, overwhelming movement from a world's united base. What influence have the sun and its spots upon the earth first, and upon other planets afterwards? This, to my mind, is the most important problem that faces us. Sun Spots and the Weather By PROF. F. S. ARCHENHOLD, Director Observatory of Treptow, Germany. If a telescope of the new construction used at Treptow, but very much larger, together with a proper spectroscope and other apparatus, be erected either on the summit of Kilimanjaro, or the Kamerun mountains, both of which are at the equator, elevated more than 3,000 meters (9,000 feet), the solving of this very important problem must follow. I have no doubt that the influence of the sunspots upon the earth is electrical and that in their influence lies the key to establishing a basis of really scientific meteorology. When we understand the relation of the sun spots to the earth, we shall be able to predict weather conditions with absolute certainty; we shall be in a position not only to warn the mariner of storms that will come within a few days, but we shall know in advance whether the seasons will be early or late, severe or mild, and thus be of real service to the farmer all the world over. All too little use is made of the "rainbow spectrum" in the study of these sun spots, and I hope to carry the investigations much further, both at Treptow and in the new observatory which I expect some day to erect in the Kamerun mountains. Women Who Have Right to Propose By MRS. DORE LYON. President of Exclusive Electric Club, New York. Women Who Have Right to Propose By MRS. DORE LYON, President of Exclusive Electic Club, New York. I think it is properly proper for certain women to propose. For example: In the case of a rich young woman. Perhaps a young man has been paying her attention for some time, and she has grown fond of him with out a formal declaration on his part. She might say to him: "Now, my dear, if you would care to marry me, I will obtain your parent's consent. I am able to support you in the style your tastes require, and you need not worry about a bank account." Or take the case of a professional young woman, who has a good income from her work. She might say, to the young man of her choice, who has not come to the proposing stage: "My dear, I think we would be very happy together. I am quite able to take care of two, and could support a husband very nicely." MIRA DENN 1900 The act of proposing carries with it the offer to take care of the young woman, whose hand he asks for. There is an underlying economic motive in such proposals. Then why should this not carry in the case of the young woman who proposes. The only girl who has no right to propose is the indolent, unskilled young woman, with no visible means of support. She has no right to ask a man to marry her to support her. The A.T.

ORCHARD WEEPS FIRST TIME IN TRYING ORDEAL WITNESS BREAKS DOWN. GLAD DIDN'T KILL PEABODY Haywood's Counsel Gives Inkling of Their Plans for Defense Against Orchard's Confession. Bolse, Idaho.—After withstanding with marvelous strength of nerve and muscle a week's examination that was one prolonged confession of crime, Harry Orchard broke down and for a few moments wept like a child. His unnerving came with a story of his conversion and confession, and the mention of King David, murderer, the Biblical figure which is supposed to be Orchard's later guide. The defense had given solemn tone to the scene preceding the meeting between Orchard and Detective McParland, to whom he confessed, by showing that Orchard was first illegally brought to the penitentiary and thrust into almost solitary confinement. His only cell neighbor was Bob Wetter, a condemned murderer. Then came the first McParland interview and the story of David and Uriah. Orchard faltered and tried to hold back his tears, but he lost in the struggle. The tears streamed from his eyes, and reaching for his handkerchief, he buried his face in his hands. The questions went on mercifully as before, but it was a full three minutes before the answers were coming in the old sure tones. The defense, carrying the confession forward, tried to show that McParland had played a disreputable part in the Molly Maguiles and that he had promised Orchard immunity. The earlier part of the examination as to the Steuenenberg crime was largely devoted to an effort to show that Orchard had purposely been public in his actions at Caldwell and had sought to draw attention to himself and his crimes. Orchard, just before the noon adjournment, in low and shaken tones, told of his conversion. How, when in the penitentiary he thought over his past life he thought of putting himself out of the way and that he ought to make a clean breast of it all. He said he had come to feel that the grave did not end it all. The story was told to a hushed courtroom, the silence only being broken by the drone of Orchard's voice. Orchard also testified that he was a Mason when he lived in Canada and a member of the Colborn lodge. Has Not Been Spared. Boise.—The defense has not spared Orchard. His character as a criminal has developed until almost every crime in the calendar, big and little, has been brought home to him. The most remarkable thing about the man is the absolute nonchalance with which he admits to the commission of these crimes. "You committed burglary?" said Mr. Richardson. "I do not know just what you mean by burglary." replied Orchard. "I mean that you broke open a railroad depot and stole a trunk," replied the cross examiner. "Oh, yes, I did that," Orchard said without the slightest hesitation or change of tone. The plot to kidnap the children of Orchard's former partner in the Hercules cune prospect is looked upon by the defense as a strong proof of the duplicity of the man. The claim of the defense is that Simpkins discovered the plot and warned August Paulson Paulson has been subpoenaed by the state. It was shown, however, by the defense in cross-examination that Paulson loaned Orchard $300 just before he left Wallace for Caldwell shortly before the murder of Steunenberg. The case for the defense, in contradiction of the connection of Haywood with the actual murder or arrangements for the murder of Steuinenberg, is shown by the questions put so as to bring out the evidence to show that Orchard reached Wallace planning to kidnap Paulson's children. Failing in that, he became poverty stricken and committed the burglary. Getting no proceeds from this, he robbed a cash register. These funds running out, he borrowed $300 from the man who had been his partner and who had become rich from the proceeds of the mine, a sixteenth share of which Orchard had sold for a song, and then, envious of the ricin man, and angered at the thought that Steuinenberg had driven him, in common with other union men, from the state, he planned the enterprise of vengeance. The defense asserts that Simpkins was at Wallace at the time, in line with his duties as a member of the executive board of the Western Federation, and that neither there nor at Caldwell he any direct connection with Orchard's plans. The state will begin the corroborative testimony next week. About 160 witnesses will be there to give evidence in support of Orchard's testimony. It is understood also that certain documentary evidence will be produced, but the nature of this has been kept a complete secret. Former Governor Peabody, who reached Bolse, takes the position that he can not talk about the case until after he has been on the stand. According to Orchard he was in danger of assassination for a long time and was hunted with bomb and pump-gun in Denver and at his home in Canon City, Colorado. The former governor of Colorado is a big man, showing no evidence that he stands in fear of anybody. He admits that threatening letters are not an unusual thing with him, but he laughingly turns off any direct answer to questions as to his opinions of the many narrow escapes related by Orchard. The case for the defense will be conducted by Clarence Darrow of Chicago. It was agreed between counsel for the defense that Mr. Richardson should have the star witness for cross-examination, and Mr. Darrow says that Mr. Richardson will cross-examine some of the other witnesses. The direct examination of the witnesses for the defense will be by Darrow, who will have the closing argument. Decorates Graves of Old Soldiers and Is Expelled From Home. Monte Vista., Colo.—James H. Madden, an inmate of the Old Soldiers' and Sailors' home at Monte Vista and commander of the local G. A. R. post there, was expelled from the home for decorating the graves of deceased comrades with American flags. Commandant Aldrich acted as prosecutor, judge and jury. Comrade Madden knew he was doomed to expulsion before the hearing began and for that reason, after pleading guilty to the two minor charges of the five made against him, he declined to be examined by Commandant Aldrich The inmates of the home are in full sympathy with Madden and his expulsion may disrupt the institution, unless the board of commissioners removes Aldrich, who has been unpopular with the veterans for many months on account of the martinet methods he has adopted for the conduct of the home. The home, so the old soldiers declare, is under rules and regulations such as obtain in the army camps during actual war time. If all the charges they make against the management are true, the home is nothing more or less than a military prison, and anyone who violates any rule—and there are hundreds of them—in the slightest degree, intentionally or unintentionally, practically stands subject to expulsion at the hands of Commandant Aldrich, who acts as prosecutor, judge and jury. Commandant Aldrich, in a statement after expelling Madden, said it was not a question of patriotism but of authority. These men can't violate the rules or question my authority in any way without being subject to suspension on expulsion. I am boss of the home, and as long as I am in charge I propose to run it as I see fit." It had been Commandant Aldrich's intention to expel at least a score of veterans from the home for placing the Stars and Stripes over the graves of comrades buried in the cemetery here. Cheap cotton flags had been placed over the graves on Decoration Day, but ordered removed the next day by Aldrich, who thought it was a waste of money to allow God's sunshine to bleach the flags, or to allow them to fly to the breezes in memory of the departed heroes. The action of the commandant aroused the inmates of the home to great indignation, and they promptly raised money and sent to Denver for more flags. Aldrich heard of this move and ordered that the new flags should not be placed in the cemetery. The old soldiers ignored his order, and when he tried to keep them from entering the cemetery by force, they brushed him aside as if he had been a fly. This aroused Aldrich's ire, and his threatened to have every man who took part in placing the flags expelled from the home. Only hostile criticism and the fear of a walkout at the home kept him from carrying out his full threat. Comrade Madden was then selected as the "fall guy," and expelled after a trial that was nothing more than a farce. MAY FIGHT IT OUT. Uncle Sam Will Stand Aside and Watch Central America Fur Fly. Mexico City.—A cable dispatch says the Salvadorean army has defeated the invading force which captured Acajutla and has driven it back to the coast. One of the soldiers of the invading army was John Moisani, a former resident of San Francisco, an American citizen. He is reported to have been captured by the forces of President Figueroa. The message follows: "Revolutionary forces under Rivas defeated in an attack on Son Sonata today and driven back to Acajutla. John Moisani reported among the captured. FIGUEROA." It is reported on good authority that troops are ready to invade Salvador from three sides. This information says Generals Toledo and Alfara are on the Honduran border ready to strike and General Corea will enter the country by way of Ampala. Washington—War between Nicaragua and San Salvador seems imminent, notwithstanding the recent agreement of peace between these two Central American republics. Acting on cable news that President Zelaya has sent forces into San Salvador for the purpose of inciting rebellion and war, this government has ordered the Yorktown and some smaller vessels to proceed to the south again and look after American and other national interests. The State Department seems to have no doubt that war will be commenced, as Minister Merry at San Salvador has telegraphed that a Nicaraguan vessel has actually landed troops at Acajutla for "general revolutionary purposes." The Nicaraguan government has been asked by the State Department for the facts. There is an undercurrent of feeling in the State Department now that it will perhaps be the better plan to let the Nicaraguans and San Salvadoreans fight it out, the department taking care all the time of American and foreign interests where European nations are not represented by a warship. Boom in Colorado Lands. A Chicago syndicate headed by Dr. E. W. Lucas is going in heavily for lands in eastern Colorado, especially the state lands, which are being purchased in large areas in the region about Cheyenne Wells, where dry farming flourishes. Dr. Lucas is buying up several thousand acres of land in the best dry farming region and a Chicago syndicate, heavily capitalized, is backing him. The region about Cheyenne Wells, almost deserted since the building of the Union Pacific put an end to freighting across the plains, practically valueless even for grazing lands, has suddenly come to be in great demand since Campbell made practical the dry farming process. The Chicago syndicate, foreseeing a rush of farmers to that region, which yields such large returns for labor, is preparing to meet it by having the most desirable of the state lands in a syndicate. THIRTEEN MARKED FOR DEATH. Black Hand Casts Shadow Over Many Prominent Homes in Trinidad. Trinidad, Colo.—Threatening death to thirteen prominent men, a communication signed by John Nicolini, Tomaso Pachetti and Dion Picolini, which was received by the editor of a local paper, has stricken terror into the hearts of Trinidad people. The senders they say are members of the Black Hand and that they mean business. They claim to have committed numerous murders. letter follows: "Please publish this for the benefit of society. My name is Nicolini. I am an Italian. I murdered Mr. Wilson of Cedarhurst, a mining town twenty miles north of here. I got only $70. This will be the seventeenth man I have killed since I left Italy. I am well acquainted with Andy Shine, who disappeared. You know how she a roll of $1,600. I was standing there when he showed it. Well, I have the money now in my possession. You will please find his body. There are several men here whom I have determined to murder before I leave the country. I will give their names as follows: Judge Mahin, Jesse G. Northcutt, O. L. Davis, Jeffreys of the bank, Mayor Nichols, Louis Kreiger, the sheriff; C. H. Richter, the saloon man; Mr. Quiltch, the buggy and harness man; Joe Mulberry of the Advertiser; Senators Frank Woods and Casimero Barela, Walter Dearden, the druggist. These men are all on our blacklist and it is only a matter of time until we will get them. We live east of here, we are six strong and are determined to rid the city of these men. "Signed by the committee of death. "JOHN. NICOLUNI The dead body of Wilson was found at Cedarhurst a week ago. Shine and his family have completely disappeared and all efforts of the authorities to find them have failed, but information today is to the effect that they have located at Cheyenne. Senator Morgan Passes Away. Washington.—United States Senator John Tyler Morgan of Alabama, died here at 11:15 p. m., June 11th. Senator Morgan had been in bad health for a number of years, but had more or less regularly attended the sessions of Congress. He suffered from angina pectoris, which was the cause of his death. At his deathbed were his daughters, Miss Mary Morgan, and Miss Cornelia Morgan, both of this city, and his secretary, J. O. Jones. Mr. Morgan's home in Alabama was at Selma. John Tyler Morgan was one of the most distinguished members of the United States Senate, and was so recognized by all parties. He was born June 20, 1824. He went to Alabama when nine years of age, receiving his education there. He was admitted to the bar in 1845, and began the practice of his profession. He rapidly gained a high reputation as a lawyer and a speaker. He was presidential elector in 1860, voting for Breckenridge, and in in 1861 was a delegate to the Alabama convention which declared for secession. He enlisted in the Confederate army as a private in 1861. In 1862 he raised a regiment, of which he was made colonel, and in 1863 he was commissioned brigadier general and commanded a division under General Johnston. After the war he resumed the practice of law at Salem. He was presidential elector on the Democratic ticket in 1876 and in 1877 was elected to the United States Senate. He was five times re-elected, in 1882, 1888, 1894, 1900 and 1906. In 1900 there was no opposing candidate and he received the unanimous vote of the Alabama Senate and House. He was for many years recognized as one of the ablest leaders of the Democrats in the Senate. He was for a number of years a member of the Senate committee on foreign relations and for some years its chairman. Recently he was chairman of the committee on interoceanic canals and favored the Nicaragua canal route instead of the Panama, making one of the most memorable fights in the Senate in favor of his contention. In November, 1903, he was removed from the chairmanship of that committee. Colorado Boy Among the Drowned. Washington.—Six bright young midshipmen, fresh from the academy at Annapolis, all attached to the big battleship Minnesota, have been drowned. The list of dead contains the name of Philip H. Field of Denver, appointed from Colorado on the recommendation of Senator Patterson, and who was graduated from the academy last year. The conclusion was reached at the Navy Department that either on account of the lateness of the hour of the return trip the Minnesota's launch in her haste had been driven hard into the hevy sea that prevailed in Hampton Roads last night, or that the little boat has been run down by some giant tramp steamers that make use roads as refuge in time of storm. While the launch carried a good sized party, no one has been found who can say exactly how many occupants the launch contained. The men in the launch appeared to be in high spirits after an evening of dancing. How the launch, buoyed up by so many air-tight compartments, could have been lost is yet a matter of speculation. One theory is that it was run into and cut in two by a passenger vessel, which may have passed completely over the fortunate launch. Swear Orchard Did Not Buy Powder. Boise, Idaho—Depositions from the Judson Powder Company of San Francisco will go far toward shattering the testimony of Harry Orchard given by him on the witness stand. The witness for the prosecution stated that he purchased ten pounds of dynamite with which to blow up the Bradley home from the San Francisco store of the Judson company. The depositions secured by the defense and taken from the records of the powder company show that no ten pound lot of dynamite was sold anywhere near the date fixed by Orchard as the time he bought the powder.

Carbonate National Bank --- COLORADO NEWS ITEMS Denver now boasts of a population of over 200,000. Dr. B. Beshoar of Trinidad has taken unto himself a wife. Normal diplomas were awarded to 202 graduates at Greeley. Colorado Springs turned out forty-nine high school graduates. Arvada Commercial Club is still after a 5 cent street car rate to Denver. Ex-Governor Peabody and daughter are witnesses in the famous Haywood murder trial at Boise. Mr. and Mrs. Henry T. West recently celebrated their 62nd wedding anniversary at Greeley. Every teacher employed in the Boulder graded schools has been reappointed for next term. Cripple Creek will celebrate the national holiday with a two-day jollification July 4th and 5th. Denver and Greeley are to be connected by an electric line. Articles of importance have been filed. A shaft is being sunk on the Rockwall coal vein in the vicinity of Florence by an independent company. J. B. Bailey, a coal miner at Florence, fell dead the other night. He had been complaining of not feeling well for several days. A horse( which ran away on one of the main streets of Grand Junction the other day, was badly injured by running into a bunch of tree stumps. Mrs. Cynthia M. Marshall, wife of the money order clerk at the postoffice in Colorado Springs, died at the family residence, 412 East Huerano street. A car containing bottled beer was broken into at Eaton and 170 bottles stolen. Today Sheriff Florence recovered all but thirty bottles. Tramps are suspected. Major Otis Remick, a pioneer of Colorado Springs of the West, died at St. Francis hospital. He had been ill for several months, suffering from a general decline. Gov. Buchtel has received the resignation of Senator M. E. Lewis of Fremont county. He has just been appointed postmaster of Florence and resigned before the expiration of his term. John Corne, probation officer of Weld county for the last five years, resigned and P. Tisdel, known as Father Tisdel, who devotes his life to looking after the unfortunate in Weld county, was appointed to the vacancy. Lucile Murtis, one of the most prominent graduates of the Trinidad High school this year, was thrown from a buggy and fatally injured at Berintville, Ia. She was prominent in the young society set and the sad news is received with great regret. Instead of draining a slough on his land, as is usual, G. S. Allsebrook near Fort Lupton, will use the seepage, flood and waste waters, which fill the slough, for irrigation, by building a dam and erecting a pumping plant by which the water will be taken to 80 acres adjoining. The plant will cost $1,200. State Dairy Commissioner Bishopp is testing the herd of 20 cows at the State Home for Dependent and Neglected Children for tuberculosis. The dairy cattle at each state institution are being put through a test of this kind, and the one at the Buena Vista state reformatory will come in next for inspection and examination. Mrs. Zoa Gillespie, sixteen-year-old bride of John Gillespie, at Grand Junction, was committed by a jury in the Juvenile Court. Mrs. Rosetta Johnson alleged that one of her dresses had been taken by the girl when she went to Delta to get married. The girl said she merely meant to borrow the garment to be married in and then to return it. Miss Flossie Moore, valedictorian of the 1907 class of the Florence high high school, graduates with a perfect record. She stands highest in scolarship and during the entire four years' course has never been absent or tardy. She is eighteen years old and is the daughter of former State Senator Frank Moore. She was born and reared in that section. Mrs. David D. Kimmel, about 65 years old, of Florence, broke her right arm while shoveling dirt. Her foot slipped from the shovel, throwing her to the ground, breaking a small bone in the right wrist. Her husband, aged 74, fell from a scaffold a month ago and broke his right leg. They have been married nearly 40 years and these are the first misfortunes that have overtaken them. Two irrigation cases were settled at Fort Collins in Judge Garrigues' Court, in which Larimer County No. 2 ditch is given the right to take water from the Poudre river through what is known as the old city ditch, and the Arthur ditch is allowed to change its point of diversion of the river water. These cases have been pending in the courts here for sixteen years. Marro Gallina, an eight-year-old Italian boy, was instantly killed at the Huerfano mine in Remy canon, near Trinidad. The boy was taking a short cut to his home and while on a small bridegirl was caught by a string of mine cars and frightfully mangled. A six-year-old girl was the only witness to the accident. The trip rider in charge of the cars knew nothing of the accident until told by the little girl. He took the body to the home of the boy's parents. In appears from investigation that much of the fruit thought to have been killed by the early May storms is alive and flourishing, and reports from around Grand Junction indicate that a large amount of apples and pears will be harvested this year, though the crop will not be full one. Peaches seem to have suffered the most from the freeze, and berries, grapes, plums and other small fruits, will produce only a fair crop. Late cherries are an exception to the latter group, and it is anticipated that this crop will show up well at the end of the season. The growers are not at all discouraged over the prospect and are keeping their trees in good shape by spraying, whether they will bear this year or not. Minister's Methods Likely to 'Attract Large Congregation. A resident of Hudson, Wis., was deploring the resignation of Senator Spooner. "The senate can't afford to lose a mind like that," he said. "I know the man well. He practiced law in this town for 15 years or thereabouts. He won every case he set his hand to. "It was no surprise to us Hudsonites to find that John C. Spooner was the finest legal mind in the senate. When he had a case on, we used to go in droves to hear him plead. "I remember to this day a story that he once told in court in a case where he was showing how, with a good motive, one might still do a lot of harm. "He said that two aged Scotch ministers sat talking one day over their church warden pines. "Last Sawbath," said the younger of the two old men, 'only three folk cam' to my kirk, and, since it was an awfu' cauld, snawy, stormy mornin', I juist took them over to the manse, read a chapter, gied them a prayer, and then, to ward off the rheumatism, a guild stiff glass of the best whisky. "The other minister smiled. "Aweel," he said, 'ye will hae a fine congregation, my brither, the next stormy day." CHOICE OF TWO EVILS. Request That Was by No Means a Compliment for Papa. A New York scientist, the father of a large and growing family, has his troubles. One evening his youngest was holding forth in her best style. The mother could do nothing with the child, so the man of science went to the rescue. "I think I can quiet little Flora," he said. "There's no use humming to her in that silly way. What she wants is real music. The fact that I used to sing in the Glee club at Yale and sang well, too, may make a difference." Accordingly, the professor took the child and, striding up and down the room, sang in his best manner. He had not finished the second verse of his song, when a ring was heard. The door was opened, and there stood a girl of 14, who said: "I'm one of the family that's just moved into the flat next to yours. There's a sick person with us, and he say, if it's all the same to you, would you mind letting the baby cry instead of singing to it?"—Success. The Human Shield. The advent of Decoration day caused Admiral Dewey, at a recent dinner, to praise the bravery of the American troops during the civil war. "Both sides alike were brave," he said. "North and south, soldiers and sailors. And the bravery of the raw recruit was a thing to be seen to be believed. "There used to be circulated, though, a good story about a Connecticut recruit. This young man, after he had gotten initiated, fought heroically; but in his first engagement he was very nervous. "A chum of his was in the line ahead of him, and when the bullets began to fly, the chum began to dogde. "Thereupon the recruit shouted excitedly: "Hey, Jim, don't duck. I'm behind ye." An Artistic Idea. "I don't mind paying for a picture if it's a good, natural likeness," said the rich man to the fashionable artist, to whom he was to sit for his portrait. "O, it is quite characteristic and natural, I assure you," replied the artist. "I flatter myself that easy attitude with your hand in your pocket is quite a neat touch." And so it proved when the bill came in. What He Would Have Done. Wilhelm—Well, old man, I haven't seen you for an age. And how do you find matrimony suits you? Johann (sighing)—It's an expensive joy; if I had only known what I had to pay in milliners' bills— Wilhelm—You would have remained single, eh? Johann—No, I would have married the milliner—Lustige Blatter. He that has the energy and will to uproot a fault has also the energy, and ought to will to plant a virtue in its place.—Lacon. AN OLD EDITOR Found $2000 Worth of Food. The editor of a paper out in Okla, said: "Yes, it is true when I got hold of Grape-Nuts food, it was worth more than a $2000 doctor bill to me, for it made me a well man. I have gained 25 pounds in weight, my strength has returned tenfold, my brain power has been given back to me, and that is an absolute essential, for I am an editor and have been for 35 years. "My pen shall always be ready to speak a good word for this powerful nutritive food. I had of course often read the advertisements regarding GrapeNuts, but never thought to apply the food to my own use, until, in my extremity and sickness the thought came to me that it might fit my case. The statements in regard to the food are absolutely correct, as I have proven in my own case. One very fortunate thing about the food is that while it is the most scientifically made and highly nourishing, concentrated food I have ever known, it has so delicious a taste that it wins and holds friends."

Wants the Rod Restored. The Shanghai Times editor says: The jail has been well administered, but is fuller than it should be, due, I fear, to the abolition of the cague and bamboo. The ordinary criminal has no great objection to repeated short visits to the jail, but shrinks from a repetition of corporal punishment. Punishment with the bamboo is in vogue throughout China, and here only has it by special edict been abolished. We deprecate the Chinese authorities making this settlement a field for experiment, and will press for the reintroduction of this salutary method of punishment. Laundry work at home would be much more satisfactory if the right Starch were used. In order to get the desired stiffness, it is usually necessary to use so much starch that the beauty and fineness of the fabric is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the wearing quality of the goods. This trouble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its greater strength than other makes. Senator Morgan a Model. Senator John T. Morgan, of Alabama occasionally writes magazine articles which involve a great deal of research, but he uniformly refuses to accept pay for them. In the course of his career many railroad passes have been offered him, but he never accepted any either for himself or any member of his family. Though over 80 years old, he thinks nothing of working half the night. The senator never haunts the departments looking for jobs for constituents. Of moderate means when he entered the senate, he is now a poor man, having little or nothing but his salary. Sheer white goods, in fact, any fine wash goods when new, owe much of their attractiveness to the way they are laundered, this being done in a manner to enhance their textile beauty. Home laundering would be equally satisfactory if proper attention was given to starching, the first essential being good Starch, which has sufficient strength to stiffen, without thickening the goods. Try Defiance Starch and you will be pleasantly surprised at the improved appearance of your work. Mexican Province Advancing. Yucatan, 50 years ago one of the poorest of the Mexican states, has become one of the richest. Merida, the capital, has well paved streets, well lighted and well cared for by a corps of "white wings." Well-built homes, some of them actual palaces, and all clean and newly painted, line the streets far into the country. A well-built system of mule cars extends all over the city. Would Quit When He Was Done With All Things Earthly. A rich man out in the suburbs who owns a large place has among the many people employed to keep it in shape an Irishman of whom he is particularly fond on account of his unconscious wit, says Harper's Weekly. This Irishman is something of a hard drinker, and, as his income is limited, he is more particular as regards the quantity than the quality of his liquids. The other day the employer, who had been awaiting a good opportunity, remarked in a kind tone, as the closing sentence of a friendly lecture: "Now, Pat, how long do you think you can keep on drinking this cheap whiskey?" To which Pat instantly replied: "All my life, if it doesn't kill me." ECZEMA COVERED BABY. Worst Case Doctors Ever Saw—Suf fered Untold Misery—Perfect Cure_by Cuticura Remedies. "My son, who is now twenty-two years of age, when four months old began to have eczema on his face, spreading quite rapidly until he was nearly covered. The eczema was something terrible, and the doctors said it was the worst case they ever saw. At times his whole body and face were covered, all but his feet. I used many kinds of patent medicines, to no avail. A friend teased me to try Cuticura. At last I decided to try Cuticura when my boy was three years and four months old, having had eczema all that time and suffering untold misery. I began to use all three of the Cuticura Remedies. He was better in two months; in six months he was well. Mrs. R. L. Risley, Piermont, N. H., Oct. 24, 1905." Wonderful Engineering Work The admirable accuracy of the work of civil engineers of the best class is shown in the wonderfully slight deviation of the great Simplon tunnel from the calculations of the men who planned it and executed the work. The tunnel is $12\frac{1}{2}$ miles long. It proved 31 inches longer than it was expected to be. When the two headings came together in the depths of the mountain their levels were less than $3\frac{1}{2}$ inches apart. How's This?

The Medicine That Makes Rich, Red Blood and Performs Wonders as a Tonic for the Nerves. Why are nervous people invariably pale people? The answer to that question explains why a remedy that acts on the blood can cure nervous troubles. It explains why Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People are also for nervous people. It is because of the intimate relation between the red corpuscles in the blood and the health of the nerves. The nervous system receives its nourishment through the blood. Let the blood become thin, weak and colorless and the nerves are starved—the victim is started on the road that leads to nervous wreck. Nervous people are pale people—but the pallor comes first. Enrich the blood and the nerves are stimulated and toned up to do their part of the work of the body. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills make red blood and transform nervous, irritable, ailing people into strong, energetic, forceful men and women. Mrs. Harriet E. Porter, of 20 Liberty avenue, South Medford, Mass., says: "I had never been well from childhood and a few years ago I began to have dizzy spells. At such times I could not walk straight. I was afraid of paralysis and was on the verge of nervous prostration. Then neuralgia set in and affected the side of my face. The pains in my forehead were excruciating and my heart pained so that my doctor feared neuralgia of the heart. I tried several different kinds of treatment but they did me no good. "One day my son brought me some of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and I found that they strengthened my nerves. I took several boxes and felt better in every way. There were no more dizzy attacks, the neuralgia left me and I have been a well woman ever since." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are invaluable in anemia, rheumatism, after-effects of the grip and fevers and in sick headaches, nervousness, neuralgia, and even partial paralysis and locomotor ataxia.

The STYLES A MUSHROOM HAT LATEST IN SHIRT WAISTS A marked feature of the present season is the novelties which are appearing in the realm of fashion. Conspicuous among these novelties may be mentioned the Japanese outline of the bodice, which is permitted to stamp its popularity upon the blouse, notably upon the lace blouse which looks very well, indeed, under such conditions. I would quote a capital example made in a combination of thick white guipure striped with lines of black velvet ribbon over a fine lace front, and destined to be worn with a fine lace skirt bordered with coarse lace—a very good dress altogether. Besides this, I would observe the addition to the lace blouse of more ordinary detail, of braces of ribbon, short wide sleeves of ribbon, and a belt with sash ends of ribbon. Such ribbon could be chine with a satin border. This needs a slim figure for its best success, and those who are at all stout should trust themselves to the simpler belts of ribbon, kid, or leather, or striped galon. This last is comparatively new, and is to be met with the buckle covered to match. The elastic belt continues to receive it supporters, and shines beneath the influence of gold and silver. It may also be found faced with velvet, and only under one condition could I be induced to recognize its plausible charms. But to proceed with my list of trifles. I comment with joy on the continued favor shown to the lawn and linen collar, recognizing that the former daily assumes a finer aspect and is traced with finer stitching, no minute details of design seeming to be too intricate to do it service. For the prodigal, summer blouses are made entirely of such luxuries as this finely embroidered lawn, costing no LATEST IN S It is the recognized fact in Europe that American women are the most extensive wearers and the keenest critics of the shirt-waist, and for this reason they are constantly on the alert for new designs in that particular article of apparel. The tailor-made shirt-waist is, like all made-to-measure garments, distinguishable for its smartness of cut and fit, and more and more are women appreciating this fact. The two strong points in favor of the shirt-waist are the multitude of shades and designs and clothes in which it may be obtained, and the comparative cheapness of this indispensable article of dress. Freshly laundried, what looks fresher or more attractive than a well-made, well-fitting shirt-waist. The shirt-waist worn by the lady to the right in our illustration above is made in the gauze cashmere, which, being pure wool, is absolutely unshrinkable. Other good qualities of the goods and which should be sought for in a garment of this kind are the smooth, clean surfaces which are retained even after much wear and many --- A BEAUTIFUL GOWN ent ap- on- nay of to use, ich such ital less than eight guineas; and perhaps their charm is only discernible to the expert, and nine women out of ten would be as content with the linen bat- iste blouse, bearing hem-stitched tucks intersected with small satin- stitched spots, and to these latter I confess I am much addicted, finding they look equally well with glace coats or clor or serge. There are some pretty new models in glace coats, some taking the straight Japanese outline and being covered with silken braid, others being in the paletot shape with a belt at the waist and an embroidered lawn collar round the neck, and a few black tassels on the front, and the sleeves striking a decorative note. The most extravagant form of the glace coat, however, is embroidered all over with floss silk, and bears a thickly netted silken fringe all round it. The three-quarter coats, fitting almost tightly, and bearing no fullness in the basque, are suggestive of the Directoire period with their large buttons and the sleeves full on the top, but the absence of fulness on the skirt contradicts this impression to some extent. All the best of the new skirts are cut on the cross, with a seam down the center, and fitted tightly round the hips, while their decoration is either braid or flatly-stitched bands upon the hem and above it. Besides this, the trimming of the hour is embroidery, and our taste for it grows apace. I have just seen an advance sample of summer millinery, entirely made of embroidered batiste, this being worked into the crown, and a mushroom-shaped brim, and simply trimmed with a scarf of colored crepe de chine. I can look forward to meeting it again with much pleasure. SHIRT WAISTS washings and the happy knack of neither creasing nor crushing. This quality of cashmere comes in small checks and other neat effects which look so well with plain coat and skirt costumes, and which like so many of the shirt-waists, is made with ordinary collar band, although this may be changed to suit the individual taste. In the central figure of the illustration is displayed a waist made of cotton material which is exceedingly smart in its effect. It is of white body ground, patterned with blue stripe. Japleen is a new but very popular material for shirt-waists, in fact it is so durable and so desirable from every standpoint of the shirt-waist requirement that it is being more and more used. Japleen is a material made of Egyptian cotton and silk, and has a pretty silky appearance which it retains to the last. One of these Japleen waists is sketched in our illustration and is the one to the extreme left. The shade is a delicate mauve with a little star-shaped spot in the same color. --- S&H GARMENT STORE 925-16TH ST. - OPP.

Necessary Hours of Sleep. The belief that the hours of sleep should be artificially restricted is prevalent. Yet it is contrary to ordinary good sense. If the human body does not need sleep for the upbuilding of its tissues it will not call for it. A rule of health which can not be wrong is to sleep, if possible, as long as any inclination for it exists. The erroneous view on this subject is undoubtedly due to the fact that when the mind and body are thoroughly rested it is often difficult to arouse the mind from its comfortable lethargy. On the other hand, the man who is under a mental strain and sleeps only five or six hours at night is keen and alert soon after awakening. But it is an unhealthy activity. His nerves are at a high tension. He is on edge, so to speak. Such a strain, long continued, results inevitably in a nervous breakdown. All things that are supposed to come to him who waits are subject to change without notice. Chance for Philanthropists. There is a plot for a summer novel in this advertisement which recently appeared in the Lucknow (India) Daily Telegraph. "Will any gentleman, educated, European, marry (immediately) a young lady to save her from a hateful marriage?" DENVER, COLO When John Wanted the Ring It Was in His Sock. John Jenkinson would not have exchanged situations with the prime minister, the prince of Wales or the drum major of a brass band. Felicia Wilkins had answered "Yes" in a voice as soft and gentle as the sigh of music in a dreamless sleep or the murmuring wail of a caressing breeze from lethean waters soothingly fanning the whiskers of Father Time. "Felicit Wilkins," he exclaimed rapturously, as his left hand and arm disappeared from sight with a rapid yet sneaking motion toward the back of the sofa on which they sat, and the fingers of his right hand appeared to be feeling for something in his vest pocket, "you have made me the happiest man in the world." The timid, upturned glance of her liquid dark eyes, says Tit-Bits, and the warm blush that overspread the happy face of the lovely girl replied more eloquently than words could have done." "And you will forgive my presumption, darling," he continued, "if, in anticipation of your answer, I have ventured to provide myself with—with—a—with a—" Jenkinson paused in some apparent excitement, and his finger and thumb nervously explored his vest pocket without seeming to find anything. "I—I must have lost it!" he gasped. "Felicia, it was a ring! Ha! Perhaps it is in some other pocket." Rising to his feet he thrust a trembling hand into his trousers pocket. There was a hole in that pocket. "John," said Felicia, as she noted with concern his ghastly face, on which the light of a desperate resolve was breaking, "don't grieve over it. It will turn up. You are excited. Is there anything I can do—" "Yes," exclaimed John, in a hollow voice. "Felicia, I think I know where that ring is. If you would do me a favor I shall never forget until the last hour of my life, get me a shoe-horn and leave me to myself for a few moments." "About 30 years ago Henry Clay Dean, the eccentric Missouri lawyer and orator, was attending a term of court at which I was defending a man on a pretty serious charge," said Judge Risdon of Kirksville the other day to a Kansas City Star writer. "Two horse thieves that were in jail sent for Dean. He took their case, and after looking at it from all sides concluded the best thing for them to do was to plead guilty and take two years each. "His men balked at the idea of pleading guilty. He told them that the penitentiary wasn't a bad sort of place; he had been all through it and knew. 'The warden—a personal friend of mine—is one of the kindest men that ever lived,' said Dean; 'he never makes you work when you are tired; and when you are sick he always looks after you like a mother. You get roast beef and brown bread every day and plo and turkey on Sunday. Why, when Bill Jenkins—you boys know Bill—used to run a little sawmill over in the corner of Putnam county, they sent him up for—er—borrowing corn. When he went there he didn't weigh over a hundred and thirty pounds, regular skin and bones, and in six months he weighed 300 pounds avoirdupois, and was made captain of the guard—just getting along fine; said he wouldn't swap his job for any other in Missouri and wrote his folks to come down and live with him. The prison can't hurt anything but your reputation and what does a fellow who's been stealing care about reputations, anyway?" "The two horse thieves by this time were dead anxious to plead guilty and begin life in the pen. More than that, all the other fellows in the jail who had heard Dean's talk insisted on pleading guilty and going along." Her Money Raising Scheme. "Now, dear," said the red-cheeked man to his wife, "I am going to have a little poker game Wednesday night. My friend and his wife are expert players. I don't want you to distract me." "I won't," said she. "I'll sit by a little table 'way off yonder and trim my hat." "That's what you can do," he assented; "sit 'way off yonder and trim your hat. Don't come and stand back of me and say: 'Oh, what a lovely hand you've got! Where did you get all those aces?' Or: 'My, but all your cards are red, diamonds, only that spade!' Don't do that. You hear? But, above all, please, if I should happen to win a pile of money, don't reach out and grab a handful and run off laughing about it. Don't do that, will you? That isn't funny. It isn't funny at all." "I'll try not to," she promised, "but you know, dear, that is the only way I can get any money out of you. Make you let me have it before company. And then," after a moment of thought, "you borrow it back the minute they leave." Wax Models of Ships. Paraffin wax models of all proposed British battleships are used by the admiralty for tests before the keels of the ships are laid down, the miniature ships being tied in a great tank. The models are from 12 to 24 feet long, the tank being 400 feet long and 20 feet wide. The models are made of wax because it is a material which does not absorb water or change its weight. Afterations are easy and the paraffin can be melted up and used again. DO YOU KNOW THAT The Colorado Statesman Is Now Prepared To Do All Kinds of Job Printing? Commercial, Fraternal.
