THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY Strong Plea By Judge Atkinson for the Negro in His Address: "The Great Re public: Whither are We Drifting?" What Education will do to help Solve the Problem. Strong By Judge Atkinson for the Negro public: Whither are We I will do to help So Moundsville, July 6.—G. K. Atkinson, judge of the United States Court of Claims, and former governor of West Virginia, in an address here today before the Moundsville Chautauqua upon "The Great Republic: Whither Is It Drifting?" said in part: "My countrymen, one of the most important, and at the same time the saddest of the problems which confront us as a nation, is the race question. The Negro is among us not of his own volition, but as the result of the scheming of the meanest and lowest of men, who imported him to our country purely as a commercial commodity. Such conduct by mercenary scoundrels who sought to profit by traffic in human beings, is too reprehensive, and it is our duty as a nation to care for him, and to fit him for the responsible duties of life. He cannot be deported. He should not be deported. He is a citizen. He is a man. He must be reckoned with. It is claimed that he is inferior to his white brothers. True, many of his race are; and yet many of them, so far as education and real ability are considered as standards, are not. A goodly proportion of their number are liberally educated and are, therefore, worthy of the highest consideration and recognition. It should be universally admitted that it is no longer a question of their ability to advance and to rise among their fellows if opportunities are offered wherein they have an equal chance with the 'Whites'—the superior race. They have demonstrated the fact that they are men, and when given opportunities to assert themselves they have not been relegated to the rear ranks. No longer can it be truthfully claimed that the Negro as an individual is in every sense an inferior personage. Given equal opportunities the Negro will take his chances with the white brother and bide results in any reasonable contest. Consequently we should stop our talk about the Negro being naturally an inferior being, and therefore not entitled to a fair chance in the ordinary pursuits of life. We should accept him in the condition we find him to be. We should be willing to comfort him at every turn of the road. We should be willing to confront him on the platform, at the bar, in the pulpit, in the school rooms, indeed, everywhere. If we meet them thus honestly and squarely we will be glad to cease talking about them as inferior beings. I have tried it, and I know whereof I speak. "My friends, I believe firmly that time, patience and a square deal will solve the Negro problem. A race in bondage for a hundred years ought not to be regarded as if they had been all that time upon an Anglo-Saxon basis, and especially is such comparison unjust when they have been allowed free- dom for only forty years with piece-meal opportunities for education handed down to them in those sections where they the most numerous and where practically all of the 'superior race' yet regard them as serfs and slaves. Don't hang them without judge or jury. Don't burn them merely because their skins are black. God made them so. Don't regard them as brutes. Give them a chance to work out their destinies. Educate them. Try to make men of them. They are susceptible of development. Their skins, it is true, are black, but their hearts in most instances are white. "The more they are- educated the whiter they 'appear to those that are interested in their welfare, and the more useful they become to their kindred and associates. The higher up they go in education, the cleaner will be their bodies and their shirts and the farther they will get away from the idea, because they are few men that they are as good or better than their white neighbors and associates. I do not believe in 'social equality,' nor do I believe in 'Jim Crow' railroad cars, nor in proscription of any sort. I am an American and I firmly believe in the American doctrine of giving every one a 'square deal,' whether his skin is black or red, or yellow or white. My belief today is that in the proportion that the education of the colored people goes up, race prejudice and race intolerance will go down. It seems to me that if we are half way honest, half way fair and half way reasonable and just, as the dominating power in our republic, the Negro problem in the United States will solve itself. 'If our people can work themselves up to the view point of common fairness, and will set their foot vigorously upon race prejudice, not only in the South, but everywhere, then 'Judge Lynch' will himself be lynched and our laws which were made the protection of all classes will be universally respected, and the more they are respected the more vigorously they will be enforced. I have no sympathy with or respect for the man or men who preach the false doctrine that the laws of the land were not made for the protection of the black race as well as the white. We read in the seventeenth chapter of the Acts of the Apostles, and at the twenty-sixth verse, these words: 'And He hath made of one blood all nations or men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the time before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation.' Upon this platform I have always stood in the past, and upon it I shall continue to stand in the future, 'sink, swim, live or die, survive or perish.' "Mr. Lincoln concluded his great speech at Cooper Institute. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JULY 27, 1907. New York City, February 27, 1860, in these memorable words, which should be heeded now: 'Neither let us be slandered from our duty by false accusations against us, nor frightened from it by duty or destruction to the government, nor of dungeons to ourselves. Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith, let us to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it.' Pardon me, my friends, for adding that utterance of our greatest of all Americans will live as long as the Republic endures, and I do not hesitate to say that it deserves to live forever.' Negro Stepmother of White Man Clinton, Ill., July 24.—Vespasian Warner, United States commissioner of pensions, one of the biggest political figures in Illinois, under oath, charges that his stepmother, Mrs. Isabella Robinson Warner, is a Negress. This startling accusation, made in the fight on the will of the late John Warner, whose estate has been appraised at $1,650,000, is just made public before Judge Cochrane of the Superior Court, who is hearing the case. This charge was as a bomb thrown into the midst of local society. People were astounded. Not only does Vespasian Warner charge that his stepmother is of Negro blood, but that a taint of the blood courses through the veins of his half-sisters, Mrs. Arabella Warner Bell and Mrs. Minnie Warner Mettler. The charge is made in an amended answer to the widow's petition. GETS SOCIAL HONOR Chicago, July 22.—Society citadels of the University of Chicago have been stormed by a Negress—handsome, vivacious, talented musically and much sought after because of her clever linguistic and conversational accomplishments. Her triumphs endured and waxed until it was discovered that the pretty girl, who up to that time had been welcomed into the most sacred college circles as a white coed, was in reality a cousin of "Mush Mouth" Johnson, and was reared in his family. "Mush Mouth" Johnson has received much newspaper and Police Court notoriety because of his prominence as a first ward gambler, second, in political rating, only to "Hinky Dink" and "Bathhouse" John. The explosion came when the facts regarding her race and blood were spread broadcast among her class and college mates to the astonishment of all except the members of the exclusive sorority of Pi Delta Phi, to whose collective heart she had been clasped as a beloved and admired associate. They learned the truth some time ago, and erased her name from their membership roll, and, fearing ridicule, made solemn pledges of secrecy. Even among themselves they talked of the strange circumstances in whispers. Miss Johnson has been a student at the university for five years, and her social triumphs extend over the greater part of the period. From an obscure freshman girl to the leader of one of the Midway sets, and now back again to her original station—has been the remarkable experiences of the colored gambler's relative. One of Miss Johnson's sorority sisters in the Pi Delta Phi, working secretly and following numerous elves which she had picked up in years of intimate association, played the detective and won out against Miss Johnson's fight against the handicap of her blood. When the discovery had been imparted to the other members of the sorority, the former sister's name was erased from the records of the society, and her name has not been spoken in the meetings of the club. During her social supremacy at the university, Miss Johnson became noted for the modish costumes she affected, her chic air of superior breeding and the wonderful diamonds she wore at the formal parties when the elect gathered to do honor to some great event of the college world. In June of 1906 she took her bachelor's degree from the university with high honors. She had received many scholarships and much praise from her instructors for her scholarly ability. During her second year in the university she was elected president of Englewood House, one of the exclusive girl's clubs. AT BUXTON IOWA Those senators who despair of a solution of the race question ought to go Buxton, says a writer in the Independent. Buxton is a coal mining camp in Iowa. Its population is about 5,000,93 per cent beingblack and 7 per cent white. The Negroes were brought in from the South originally to break a strike. They were quick to learn the value of unionism and now there is no more thoroughly organized miners' union than the Buxton camp. In Buxton the senators would receive their mail from a Negro postmaster; at the hotel their host would be a Negro. They would find themselves in a community where everybody works especially father. If father develops a tendency to loaf and to graft on his family he will not remain long in Buxton. Only men who work can rent houses. The Buxton schools have grown from four teachers in a four room building in 1904 to a 10 room building and 12 teachers today. Of the 600 pupils, only 60-one in 10—are white. The teachers are colored and white. The superintendent is a colored man. Of the mixing of the races in the schools, Superintendent Gilliam say: "There is absolutely no friction between the races. Of the very few cases of fights only twice have they been colored versus white, both last year. They play together, sit together and eat together. Nothing is said about social equal- ity. The school is a matter of business." The 72 clerks in the company store are whites and Negroes, working together, neither insulting nor being insulted by one another, white girls waiting on black men, Negro girls waiting on white men. In the bank the senator would find a Negro woman and a white woman, and the teller, and the other the cashier. The president of the Y. M. C. A. is a Negro miner, living in a well furnished house and giving his children a liberal education. The Y. M. C. A. secretary is the theatrical manager and amusement censor of the town. He controls the opera hall, with a free hand to turn down whatever appears morally unfit. On Saturday night if there is no show from outside, 2,000 feet of moving pictures are given for the good of all. Buxton has its drawbacks. No mining camp is an ideal place. The coal will be exhausted some time, then Buxton will decamp and disappear. There is lacking the motive to buy and improve property. But here is a community where as yet the race question is solved. Business is business in the store on the street and in the mines. The white woman is safe and sacred—so is the black woman. The crowds are lively, well behaved, well dressed. In this community, overwhelmingly Negro, the races work together, but do not intermingle racially, six days in the week 52 weeks in the year, black men work in Buxton, making good money and making as good use of their money as white men, in Buxton, or elsewhere. Buxton, like Tuskegee, is a bright spot. TALKS FAIR Former Governor W. J. Northen of Georgia was the orator at the Fourth of July celebration at Mt. Clair, N. J., speaking to a large audience on the relation of the races in the south. "It is a great mistake." he said, "to believe that there is no kind of harmony between the better element of the races in Georgia and at the South. The contrary is true. "The good class of Negroes is intelligent, progressive and resourceful. Its religion is not a sham. Its education has not spoiled it and its devotion to duty is not inspired by the 'loaves and fishes.' Its ideals are good, its social standard high and its life wholesome and educating. If all American Negroes were of this class there would be no 'Negro problem.' "It will be best for all parties in the white man of the strong and dominant race will look sympathe- NO. 44. tically at the weaker and dependent race, and, seeing him just as he is, intelligently set about aiding him. "This is just what we have begun to do in Georgia upon a plan based entirely upon our local condition, as, in my judgment, all other people must be allowed to do. 'Before we entered upon that plan, however there were some things fundamental that had to be settled between the races. 'All history shows that no two races approaching in any degree, equality in numbers, can live peaceably together unless intermarriage takes place or the one becomes dependent upon the other. Miscegenation by law will never tade place in the South. The Negro must be dependent, in a measure, at least upon the white man, as he cannot hope to dominate him. "If the Negro is made industrially capable and industrially reliable the people of the South would rather have service than such as could be rendered by any people upon the earth."—Independent.

Thompson, of New York, who commanded an Ohio company in the Spanish-American war, headed a delegation of about fifty Negroes, who called on Governor Hughes and filed with him a petition asking for authority to organize n Negro regiment to be attached to the National guard. The application would provide for two battalions in NewYork City and one battalion up the state. The governor briefly addressed the delegation, promising to give the matter consideration.

LIFE INSURANCE ACTIVITY The New York Life's Business Nearly Up to the Legal Limit. The New York Life Insurance Company announces that its new paid business during the half year just ended was over seventy million dollars. As the new law allows no life company to write over one hundred and fifty millions per year, it would appear that this company is working nearly up to the limit. The New York Life gained such headway before the law was passed and suffered so little, comparatively, from the Armstrong investigation, that the question with its management has been how to keep business down to the limit, rather than how to reach it. No other company is writing nearly as much as the law allows. The New York Life has evidently become a preferred company. The company's payments to policy holders during the six months ending June 30 were $21,660,761. It is interesting to note that this amount was almost equally divided between payments under policies maturing by death and payments made to living policy holders. Thus, while death claims were $11,180,626, the amount paid for matured endowments, annuities, trust fund installments, for purchased policies and for dividends was $10,480,135. Modern life insurance, as practiced by the best companies, embraces a wide field, and covers many contingencies. It is money saved for the aged, as well as money provided for the families of those who die prematurely. Courtesy at Home. We are all creatures of habit, men and women alike, and the habits and surroundings of daily life have a powerful influence on the character of both. The root of all bad manners is selfishness; when self ever is first, foremost consideration for others always lags much in the rear, and drops so far behind in time that it disappears altogether. "One cannot keep up the ceremony and etiquette of society when at home." True, for between friends these can be laid aside. They merely are the rivets that keep society together, but not courtesy and consideration. The latter ought to be so much the habit with each of us that it will become our second nature, and therefore can be no more laid aside than can an arm or a leg. Modesty of True Greatness Modesty of True Greatness. Abu Ben Adhem had just found out that his name led all the rest. "Still," he observed, with a modesty as rare as it was charming, "the season is young yet. I've made a few lucky hits, it's true, but just as likely as not I shall be at the bottom of the percentage column in batting before the season ends." Smilingly accepting the bouquet of cut flowers sent to him by an admirer in the grandstand, he steepped up to the plate, struck out, dodged a lemon thrown at him by a disgusted bleacherite, and went and took his seat on the bench. Unkind Advice. Two Irishmen were eating their lunch, when one asked the other: "Pat, an' what be you thinking about?" Pat replied: "Shure, Mike, I was a thinking how I would be getting me clothes over me wings when I would get to heaven." "You would better be thinking how you would be getting your hat over your horns when you get to the other place," answered Mike—Ally Sloper. MEAT OR CEREALS. A Question of Interest to All Careful Persons. Arguments on food are interesting. Many persons adopt a vegetarian diet on the ground that they do not like to feel that life has been taken to feed them, nor do they fancy the thought of eating dead meat. On the other hand, too great consumption of partly cooked, starchy oats and wheat or white bread, pastry, etc., produces serious bowel troubles, because the bowel digestive organs (where starch is digested), are overtaxed and the food ferments, producing gas, and microbes generate in the decayed food, frequently bringing on peritonitis and appendicitis. Starchy food is absolutely essential to the human body. Its best form is shown in the food "Grape-Nuts," where the starch is changed into a form of sugar during the process of its manufacture. In this way, the required food is presented to the system in a pre-digested form and is immediately made into blood and tissue, without taxing the digestive organs. A remarkable result in nourishment is obtained; the person using Grape-Nuts gains quickly in physical and mental strength. Why in mental? Because the food contains delicate particles of Phosphate of Potash obtained from the grains, and this unites with the albumen of all food and the combination is what nature uses to rebuild worn out cells in the brain. This is a scientific fact that can be easily proven by ten day's use of Grape-Nuts. "There's a Reason" Read, "The Road to Weehville," in pkgs. COLORADO DAY SONS OF THE GLORIOUS WEST HEADED TOWARD DENVER. Twenty-five Sections in Big Parade and Street Decorations Will Cost Thousands. Preparations have been completed for the observation of Colorado Day, and Denver promises one of the biggest and grandest celebrations August 1 that has ever taken place in the state. Through the efforts of the Sons of Colorado, who have the celebration in charge, the state, county and city will participate, as well as the merchants of Denver, the Gentlemen's Riding & Driving Club, the pioneers, veterans and volunteer firemen and other local clubs and organizations, while representatives will be present from many other states, including New York and Pennsylvania. The city will put on gala attire, and, according to the report of the committee on decorations made to the Sons of Colorado, the principal streets will be draped from one end to the other with bunting, flags and patriotic emblems. The only thing lacking to make the celebration the big success hoped for is the unanimous consent of the merchants of Denver to close on that day. Governor Buchtel will issue a proclamation declaring it a legal holiday, but some of the tradesmen are loth to close their doors. Five thousand invitations have been issued by Governor Buchtel through the Chamber of Commerce to various officials throughout Colorado and neighboring states to participate in the celebration. The invitations reads: "You are cordially invited to Denver on August 1, 1907, to assist the Sons of Colorado in inaugurating the new state holiday, Colorado Day, and thus encourage the development of a patriotic pride in our state. The committee on arrangements will spare no pains or expense in making the celebration worthy of the occasion, and your presence and co-operation is earnestly desired." There has already been spent and contracted for $3,500 to make the celebration a success, but it is predicted that this will be nearly doubled before the Sons of Colorado are through. Several hundred dollars are to be given in prizes for competitive sports at City park, and the fireworks display in the park at night will cost $1,200. A special feature of this part of the celebration will be twelve floats on the lake brilliantly illuminated, while the entire lake will be encircled with incandescent lamps. Parade Is Big Event. The big event will be the parade, the principal feature of which will be the evolution of transportation and life in the West portrayed by the pioneers. J. B. Shreve, president of the pioneers, has promised the Sons the biggest display of this kind that the West has seen since the days of the real pioneer life. They will have in line ox teams, pony express riders, trappers and wagon trains. The Gentlemen's Riding and Driving Club will also make a strong showing in the parade, promising a turn-out three-quarters of a mile long. Here are 250 members in the club and every one will be in line. There will also be 300 automobiles in the parade and six bands, with a total of 200 pieces, a mandolin club of seventy-five pieces, a chorus of 250 voices on an electric float and a preachers' quartet. The parade will start at 10 o'clock in the morning from Fourteenth street and Court place, and will march to Sixteenth street, to Lawrence, to Eighteenth, to Arapahoe, to Seventeenth, to Broadway and capitol building. Col. J. H. Brown will act as grand marshal of the parade, and will be assisted by T. P. Boutwell as chief of staff. The parade will start with the first of thirty-one guns to be fired by the national guard at three-minute intervals. The order of march will be: Platoon of police, Colorado First Regiment Band, grand marshal and aides, Hudson bay trappers and pack animals, ploneers in prairie schooners, pony express, William Cates, Concord coaches, line team, by J. A. Osner; Lohman's band, the state, county and city officials; the Sons of Colorado, New York, Ohio and other societies; Spanish Veteran Drum Corps, visiting officials, members of Colorado First regiment and members of first constitutional committee; Satriano's band, Gentleman's Riding and Driving Club, band, Golden and Central City volunteer firemen hook and ladder teams, State Veteran Volunteer Firemen's Association, Chief Owens and assistants, Denver city fire department, first division; Sach's band, Denver city fire department, second division; Young Ladies Brass Band and sixteen male singers on electric float, Colorado Automobile Club and all other auto club or individual machines. Interspersed will be the mandolin club of seventy-five pieces, two quartets and the electrophone. Lieutenant Governor Speaks. Following the parade, the celebration will be continued in City park with a basket picnic, addresses and music. Neither Governor Buchtel nor Mayor Speer will be able to be present. Lieutenant Governor Harper will speak on behalf of the commonwealth and A. J. Spengle, president of the Board of Supervisors, will speak for the municipality. Robert Bonyng will represent New York and F. C. Goudy of the Sons of California will make an address on behalf of the Pacific coast state. In honor of the event the Gentlemen's Riding and Driving Club will hold its annual field day in the afternoon in City park. A number of races have been scheduled, the principal events being a free-for-all for pacers and a free-for-all for trotters for two challenge cups. J. D. ORACO. N. M. CAMPIGLIA. Phone Main 4885.

Littles Things in Which Some Host- esses Are Remiss. With all that big empty closet in the guest room it seems a great pity to have one's best frock hung up in a crowded closet. The best frock, dustbag and all are accordingly smuggled into an obscure corner of the closet of the guest chamber, where it will not be the least bit in the way of the guest with the very largest wardrobe. There would be no harm in the party frock if it did not serve as an opening wedge for other garments. It is not long until a lace waist follows the gown, the winter suit and coat follow the waist and the closet has become a veritable storeroom. It is such a handy place and such a temptation to hang this or that odd garment on one of those invitingly empty hooks; but think of the feelings of the poor guest as she opens the closet door. The sight which greets her eye is not one calculated to make her feel very welcome. It suggests too strongly that there is hardly room for her. The same is true of the drawers in the bureau. They afford an excellent place in which to store the best linen, the reserve stock of bedding, and the family heirlooms, but filled with these treasures they do not tempt the poor traveler to unpack her belongings and stop a while. The hostess should remember that if she expects her guest to be comfortable during her stay she must at least give her some place to put her things. Every hostess, however, is not fortunate enough to have an extra room in her house which she can save exclusively for guests. If such is the case, the visiting friend is usually asked to occupy the room of one of the members of the family who moves out temporarily. If this is done it would be a gentle courtesy if the person who moves out of the room would take with her all the things which she will be apt to need during her temporary encampment. This is by no means to save the guest from the interruption of frequent intrusions, but to keep her from the uncomfortable feeling that she is crowding some one else out of her usual quarters. The Home Doctor. Half a teaspoonful of table salt dissolved in a half glassful of cold water will give instant relief in case of heartburn. Many cases of indigestion, headache, neuralgia, cold hands and feet can be quickly cured by drinkly slowly one or two pints of water so hot that it almost burns the throat. To inhale steam from a bowl of boiling water is very good for a sore throat. The sufferer should lean over the steam, drawing it in both throat and nostrils. People with poor digestion should drink no water with meals, but take a glassful half an hour before and drink plentifully an hour or so after each meal. Warts may be entirely removed by washing the hands two or three times a day with the water in which potatoes have been boiled, or by bathing the wart several times with potato water. Uses for Sour Milk A dish of Dutch, or cottage, cheese can be made of sour milk. Sour milk makes soft, spongy, light cake, corn bread, graham bread, ginger bread, molasses cookies, doughnuts, and griddle cakes are much better made with sour milk and soda than sweet milk and baking powder. Sour milk is excellent to feed chickens. Oilcloth washed with sour milk and rinsed well is much brighter looking. Fruit stains may be removed from linen or white goods by soaking in sour milk. Rinse well. Salt meat and fish can be freshened by soaking over night in sour milk. Buttermilk is claimed by some physicians to cure various ills, such as indigestion, kidney and liver troubles. Sour milk will cure ivy poisoning. --- Woman and the Divorce Court. BLOODY TRAIL SENATOR BORAH SAYS ORCHARD IS GUILTY. "MAY GOD WITHER MY ARM" Dramatic Plea of Attorney for the State Will Soon End the Famous Haywood Trial. Boise, Idaho. Senator Borah began his argument to the jury shortly after 7 p. n. He said he appreciated that the jurors were fatigued from their long ordeal, promised to be as brief as possible under the circumstances. Much of his speech, he declared, would be an answer to the argument of the opposing counsel. "I am aware, said Senator Borah, "that I am in this case as a special prosecutor. The learned counsel on the other side has impressed this fact upon you. But let me say that the state which does not protect its citizens or punish wrongdoing would soon lose the respect of its people and have no standing in our civilization. "But counsel has gone further with my associate. Why they should attack Mr. Hawley, who went fearlessly into the investigation of this matter, why they should assail in a personal way a man who has practiced law in his community for forty years, and whose loyalty, whose honesty has never before been questioned, I do not know. It is usually thought sufficient to attack a man's argument, to do away with his logic—but running through this case is an attack upon everyone, be he high or low, who has had anything to do with or has been in any way associated with the investigation of the crime of December 30, 1905." Only Ask Conviction on Evidence. Senator Borah declared the state did not want Haywood convicted of any crime for which Orchard and Pettibone or Moyer or Simpkins or anybody else was responsible and desired a verdict of guilty only if the evidence was deemed sufficient to warrant such a conclusion. The senator denounced Clarence Darrow's statement that the jurors' minds had been poisoned against the defendant in this case. Nowhere, he declared, could a fairer trial have been held than in Boise, no defendant ever sat in a court room where there was a greater desire for an absolutely impartial and just trial. "Have you men heard anybody on the streets of Boise asking for the blood of William D. Haywood regardless of his guilt? No, and it is to the everlasting credit of the people of Idaho that despite the fact that one of our most distinguished statesmen was foully murdered, not here has there been an outcry for anything but justice, and justice after an absolutely fair and impartial trial. You men know it, and by now I think the world knows it. You knew it when you lifted your hands to high heaven and took your oath of service and it is all that the state asks of you in this, its closing hour. "We are not here fighting organized labor. We are not here fighting the weak or poor. Neither are we here to consent that organized labor shall be a shield to crime. This is not an industrial war, as my eloquent friend of the defense would have you believe. We are not arraying class against class or one phase of society against another. This is not a battle of the rich against the the poor or the poor against the rich. We are here in the interest of law, of justice, of fairness. That is all." Senator Borah here plunged directly into the assassination of Governor Steuenberg. He declared Orchard had planted a bomb, as he had done many times before. He was an old and experienced criminal, and he was not alone in the commission of crime. "If," he cried, "you stand at the gate of Frank Steunenberg, broken and stained with his own blood, and if from there you follow the devious way of Harry Orchard, you would find that the trail of blood passes up the stairway in Denver up which Orchard ran that day while the darkey held his horse at the curb below. "The defense would have you believe that notwithstanding what Moyer may have done, what Pettibone may have done, what Simpkins may have done or what Orchard may have done, Haywood is not guilty. But the law, gentlemen of the jury, says that when men knowingly join together to commit a crime the act of one is the act of the other, no matter where that other may be at the time of the commission of the crime. It is no answer to our charge for the attorneys for the defense to say we care nothing for Jack Simpkins; let him go overboard. We care nothing for what Pettibone may have done; we will take care of him later. Acts of Pettibone Those of Haywood. "I tell you and I think the court will instruct you that in a case of this character the acts of Pettibone are the acts of Haywood; the unexplained letters and telegrams of George Pettibone and Jack Simpkins are the unexplained letters and telegrams of William D. Haywood. "The only question here is as to whether or not the evidence has been adduced to satisfy you that there was a conspiracy. Counsel for the defense has said we have not shown an inner circle or an organized bureau for crime. Well, I could pretty nearly rest the proof of that proposition on the argument of Mr. Darrow himself. a criminal act; this was not the Western Federation of Miners. What was it? Was it an accident? Jim Shayne was killed; oh, yes, but he was a scab, Darow tells you. The Bunker Hill mill was blown up. Oh, yes, but it employed non-union men. Darow says that whenever you get a thousand men together to go and do a thing it is something that ought to be done. That may be the rule in Chicago, but it does not go in Idaho. "Darow has painted Harry Orchard to you as a veritable devil, and I agree with him." Senator Borah declared that Attorney Darrow in his address to the jury had offered subtle justification for everything charged against the defense. He set himself up in defense of all the laws of public decency. Takes Fling at Richardson. "If the doctrine that Darrow preached to you be true, I am surprised that these men committed murder," said Senator Borah, who then turned upon Attorney Richardson and declared that if Harry Orchard is crazy it was no compliment to one of the greatest lawyers in the West that the maniac did not disclose any of his insanity in a week's cross-examination. "The counsel for the defense," said Senator Borah, "tell you that Orchard was caught red-handed in the act of killing Steunenberg; that he confessed to save his own neck and that if he hadn't confessed the daisies would have been blooming on his grave for a year past. Oh, no, gentlemen of the jury, if Orchard had not confessed the attorneys for the Western Federation of Miners would be in this court room defending and eulogizing him as a brave man, a member of the great working class, and friend Richardson would convince you beyond a reasonable doubt that Orchard could not be guilty of the killing of Governor Steunenberg because he was in his room at the Saratoga hotel when the bomb went off. "Darrow says my associate has 'Orcharditis.' Well, maybe he has, but he got it from the depths of Western Federation of Miners. They had 'Orcharditis' first. He was one of them, a delegate to their convention, a visitor to their homes. But the difference is that we have him tied up in the penitentiary, while they were sending him broadcast through the country on his evil missions. Orchard's Religion Not An Issue. "Much has been said here in de- cision of Harry Orchard's religion," continued Borah. "Whether he has religio r or not, I do not know, and it has nothing to do with his testimony one way or the other. But remember, gentlemen of the jury, that the question of Orchard's religion or non-religio was not a matter imposed by the state upon you—it was brought into this case by the cross-examination of the defense." Dwelling upon Darrow's views of Christianity, Senator Borah excalled eloquently that it was too late in this morning of the twentieth century to write upon the brow of Him upon Calvary, "impostor"; too late to brand "false prophet" upon Him who said: "This day thou shalt be with Me in Paradise." "If Harry Orchard, poor devil that he is, with his hands red with the blood of twenty innocent men and his soul steeped in the very fumes of hell, had grasped the doctrine and accepted the beliefs of Christianity, he would not be the one to take that solace from him. "I don't know what your verdict will be in this case," he went on, "and I don't believe anybody knows. There is one thing I do know, and that is you will never get twelve men in the state of Idaho to free Harry Orchard, and you will never get any man as governor to turn him loose. Orchard has been promised no immunity, and if I should ever have anything to do with such a bargain as that I should want the great God to wither my right arm till it fell from its socket. We are not asking for vicarious atonement in this case, like the defense, but we want no compromise. We know one man is guilty; it is for you to determine whether there are others. Kills Leopard in Yard. Cripple Creek.—A leopard, measuring five feet from the point of the nose to the tip of the tail, was killed at Victor by David Lemoy, a member of the Barnes Machine Company. It was about 2:30 a. m. when Lemoy, who lives in the Cunningham addition, a suburb of Victor, heard a growling sound from the direction of the rear of the house, and, going out to make an investigation, found the leopard crouching near his chicken coop. He returned to the house procured a rifle and after two shots killed the feline. It was learned this morning that the leopard was a young one which escaped from the Anglo-American circus which showed at Victor about a week ago. The dead animal is now hanging on the wall of the Barnes Machine Company and will be sent to Denver to be mounted by a taxidermist. Doesn't Look Like War. Brest.—in the course of the dinner given by Rear Admiral Stockton upon the American cruisers Washington and Tennessee at which a number of Japanese officers from the cruisers Tsukuba and Chitose, as well as some French officers were present, Rear Admiral Stockton proposed the health of the emperor of Japan and of the Japanese navy. In reply Captain Takanuchi of the Tsukuba toasted President Roosevelt and the American navy. The Japanese sailors are still confined to their ships and will not be granted shore leave until the departure of the American squadron. A Hot Show. Little Rock, Ark. - Angered because her husband, a laborer, refused to praise her for saving money, Mrs. Anna Lowe poured a gallon of coal oil on her head and told her little daughter to watch and see the show, and then set fire to the oil. Mrs. Lowe's body was burned to a crisp in sight of her daughter and relatives, attracted by the child's screams. GRAZING FEES WILL NOT ADVANCE. This Is the Report Sent Out From Forest Reserve Committee. Washington, D. C.—It has been announced by the forest service that no general increase will be made in the fees charged for "grazing" "live" stock upon the national forests during the present administration. Rumors that a general advance was contemplated had caused some uneasiness among western stockmen using the national forest ranges. The present fee is generally recognized as moderate. In point of fact, says the forest service men, it is much lower than that which private owners of grazing lands, similar to those in some of the forests, are charging. Most stockmen are willing to accept the present situation, provided they can be assured that conditions are not going to be subjected to a radical change. The government does not believe in charging stockmen what might be called the full market value of the grazing privilege—that is, in letting the use of the range to the highest bidder and trying to make as much as possible out of the land. In other words, it is not in the position of a landlord who seeks to realize the largest possible returns from his holdings. While there is no reason why those who profit individually by making use of the national forest should not help meet the expenses of their protection, the forest are run not as revenue producers, but as sources of public benefit through rightly regulated use. Much misdirected criticism say the forest service men, has arisen from the failure of many people to understand this. Some western papers, for instance, have reprinted from the Congressional Record the estimate of the forester of the capitalized value of national forests, totaling some $1,400,000,000, and have assumed that each of the general items meant that the government proposed to turn these resources to account by a system of charges. It can be stated authoritatively that no such thing was ever thought of. In their capacity to supply water for irrigation for instance the forests are immediately valuable, and the capitalized value of this use should be considered by the government as trustee for the public in estimating how much it is worth while to spend in order to protect the water conserving capacity of the forests. But no returns from the users of water for irrigation were contemplated nor could any charge be made under existing laws. Grazing stands half way between irrigation and lumbering in the matter of the propriety of the charge. When timber from the national forests is sold it is sold at the market price. Timber, as Mr. Pinchot said at the Denver convention, is a 'transportable commodity;" forage on the range is not. To put up at auction the privilege of grazing would open those who have settled in a region and those who have a permanent interest in a particular range to what would often be a rudous competition, from nomadic cattle and sheep men. Stability of the industry and the protection of the small settler who helps develop the country along permanent lines is of the first importance. To secure these ends the grazing fee is put low, and the choice of those allowed to use the range is made along lines which recognize residents and past users as having the first right. Though no general advance in fees will be made some adjustment in the interests of fairness will result in certain local changes. On some of the new national forests a lower rate than ordinary was fixed for the present season on account of the crowded condition and consequent inferiority of the range. A slight increase in fee charge will be made in such cases as the ranges improve in condition and beter service is given. This will be simply to equalize charges on the basis of the present rate and along the lines of fairness. No increase will be made above the standard prices fixed this year for the different states. The announcement by the forest service that stockmen need not fear that the rate charged will be increased to an amount which they could not afford to pay will be welcomed throughout the western states. Killed for Trying to Steal Wife. Durango, Colorado.—Santiago Gardunia shot and instantly killed Fusto Salas, on the ranch of Aluto Atencio, on the Florida mesa, about twelve miles below Durango. The shooting was done with a revolver. One of the bullets entered the center of the chest and came out through the back, severing the spinal column. Another bullet entered the head just under the nose and came out at the back of the head. Immediately after the shooting Gardunia started for Durango, as he claims, to give himself up. He was arrested about a mile below town still carrying the weapon, which had been reloaded. Gardunia claims that the cause of the shooting was that Salas had informed him that he (Salas) was going to have Gardunia's wife, which statement, it is alleged, was backed up by the woman. The woman and another witness claim that in a quarrel between Gardunia and the woman the former pulled his gun and the woman ran behind Salas for protection, when Gardunia's rage turned on Salas. The woman claims that she and Gardunia were never married. Court Deprives Princess. Paris.—The Court of Appeals today set aside the judgment of the lower court granting the Princess de Vicovaro possession of the Spencer estate in France. William Augustus Spencer and Lorillard Spencer appealed from the decision of the lower court, which gave their sister, the Princess de Vicovaro, possession of the estate of the late Charles Griswold Spencer, a brother of the two appellants and of the princess. Spencer died in Paris last November, leaving an estate of about $2,000,000. The brothers claimed that the French court had no jurisdiction. THE MOTORCYCLE Wines, Liquors and Cigars.

Denver, - - Colorado. Failure of the Church and of Church Penple Y/ ent-day gambling—universally prevalent—is one of the greatest perils to our social integrity. College students bet on their sports, clerks play the races, business men of all classes buy stocks on the margin, husbaads play poker, and wives play bridge. Besides these evidences of failure there is dissension and strife in the church itself. Not only are there ioo many different denominations, with their nonessential differences, and consequently poorly equipped plants, inadequate to the demands of the hour, but it is the exception to find a church which is free from divisions and strifes in the local organizations. ‘There needs a new social life in the church. Man hungers for fellow- ship. Hence, the fraternal federations formed throughout the country. But all social interests, sympathy and energy should be directed to holier uses than the veer garden om Sunday afterneon. All men need to know Christ, to whom all life is saered. He walked among men, the humble, the Jowly men, while on earth to help ilem, and he walks among them to-day. It is not denunciation we nevi, but development. The church’s mis- sion is to teach religion. It cannot be the competitor of the cheap theater; but it can create desires for holier |ungers. ‘There must be a new regaré for one’s moral code. No Christian can have a Sunday or church creed, a home creed, and a downtown code. He annot be one kind of a man as a churchman and another as a director in his corporation. Uf in these things the men and women who are in our churches will co-operate, the day is not distant when the sick will be healed, the poor evangelized, the hungry fed; men will cease to regard life cheaper than diyidends, and they will be found protecting workingmen from the deadly machinery, children from the death of factories, and their competitors from starvation. They will realize that it’s no use to starve orphans to endow educational institutions, for there will be no children to educate if methods of the irreligious are fo hiave sway. Fallacy of Equality nt Man oppressors of their fellows, these social theorists would make all men medi- ocre. ‘There is no fallacy in the world to-day so vicious, because to the weak it seems so plausible, as the notion that the kingdom of heaven may be ordained on this earth by putting all men through a common state regu lated mold, paring off the overlapping of the great and puffing the small up to the standard size by law. If aman has a taste for business, he should be allowed to trade to his heart's content, providing that he trade honestly, keeping water out of his stocks and usury out of his transactions. ‘The growth of this world requires commerce as much as it requires religion. If a man desires to be an inventor or painter, a scientist or a tight-rope walker, it is his concern. He should be allowed to specialize if a man de- sires to let his soul go, and go into the world telling of the joy of it—that should be his privilege. He should not haye to shovel dirt nor thresh grain part of the time for the right to live. The right to save this year and spend next, the right to store up the energy of youth and manhood into the capital for advancing years, showad be denied no one. ‘The only restrie- tion which the state should put on that capital should be that it may vot be used to oppress the society that allowed the accumulation of capital. There must always be the man with ten talents and the man with one talent. And the business of the state should be to so adjust the relations between them that the man with the ten talents shall not deal unfairly with the man with one. But to wipe out the distinctions between the two by making each a man of five talents—that is folly and the right sort of educa- tion should keep men from such folly. There should be peace on earth and there must be good will among men. But men must grow spirituslty before that order may be established; law may not establish it. The Social- ist has the cart before the horse. We must grow up in fairness to one another, must grow in kindness to one another, must grow to respect one another's rights—the rich to respect the rights of the poor and equally the poor the rights of the rich—before the spirit of the golden rule may be put upon the statute books, White Lies and Blark Nowadays we are told that truth is entirely a subjective matter.

LIKE all of its predecessors, our annual picni¢ on July 18th, was an unqualified suecess. This was the tenth time that we have arranged to spend a day of relaxation and recreation arm in arm with the peo- ple, and the fellowship and joyfulness of the occasion now serve to make it a most gratifying event with us. There is nothing else just like our annual pienie in all Colorado, nor possibly anywhere else. It has grown to be a popular demonstration almost without a parallel, And for this self-evident assurance of public esteem and appreciation we are deeply grateful. It is good to feel and to know that the people are with you. ELK HUNTING. THE Grand Lodge B. P. 0. E., was in session in the Hast during the week of July 15th, with delegates present from all parts of the United States, and one item of business reported as particularly engag- ing its attention was the question of befuggering the colored Elks. Jus- tice Henry A. Melvin, of California, the retiring Grand Exalted Ruler, in his annual report, said: “<The question of our future reaction in the matter of Negro lodges is so important and has so strong a grip upon the interests of the brothers that your grand exalted ruler respectfully recommends the appointment of a commission, clothed with greater power than an or- dinary committee, to take charge of this matter to seeure suitable leg- islation in the various states, to prosecute cases against the Negroes and to secure and protect, by proper legal steps, a registered emblem for our Order, which should be our only recognized device.” He also recited that laws prohibiting the wearing of Elks’ em- blems by persons not entitled are in force in ‘Idaho, Arkansas, North Carolina and Pennsylvania. Thus it may be seen that these white gentlemen of the B. P. O. E. are in deadly earnest in their welfare on the dark gentlemen with the antlers and big teeth. It is a very serious case, but a most un- natural one, this clashing of two herds of similar species. What though the origin of one is a little hazy, there is no mistaking the difference. Nobody is in any danger of mistaking a black Elk for a white one. They neyer browse on the same reservation; they never paw up the same sod. Although they both wear antlers and big teeth, they are in all practical purposes, two entirely different Bill Elks. Why one should be so worked up over the existence of the other is a curious mystery. Imitations are never harmful unless they deceive. It must be the peeul- iar nature of the animal which leads it to want to destroy its weaker prototype. At any rate it is a beastly shame. SOUTHERN EMIGRANT LAWS. AKIN to slavery are some of the emigrant laws of the Southern states. Because Nezro labor is largely necessary for the continued profitable working of the soil, the various Legislatures of the South- ern states, by various ingenuous measures, have sought to make leav- ing the state as difficult for Negroes as it possibly ean be, without a direct, declaration of ownership of the individuals thus circumscribed. ‘The position that was once held by the slave holder is now held by the state, in this respect, and the state, through its white constabulary, endeavors to make the general surveillance almost as sharp. Individ- uals with sufficient money and good sense to overcome these difficul- ties, may move out of a state without being restrained, it is true, but for any number to get away, either upon their own initiative or at the instance of others, as white men go from place to place, or from state to state, in search of better locations, is never an easy matter. The procedure to obtain this end is set forth in the July instalment of Ray Stannard Baker's series on ‘‘Following the Colow Line,”’ in the American Magazine. He quotes the Georgia code (section 601), as follows : “Any person who shall solicit or procure emigrants, or shall at- tempt to do so, without first procuring a license, as required by law, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.” An ex-congressman of the same state explained this provision as follows : “Land and other forms of capital cannot spare the Negro and will not give him up until a substitute is found. His labor is worth mil- lions upon millions. In Georgia we now make it a crime for anyone to solicit emigrants without taking out a license, and then we make the license as nearly prohibitive as possible. One of the most dangerous occupations for anyone to follow in this state would be that of an emi- grant agent—as some have found by experience.”’ A white promoter, who was driven out of business by this law, wrote to the Atlanta Constitution: ‘*I know of several counties not a hundred miles from Atlanta where it’s more than a man’s life is worth to go in and get Negroes to move to some other state. I know person- ally numbers of Negro men who have moved West and after accum- ulating a little, returned to get a brother, sister, or an old father or mother, and they were compelled to return without them, their lives being imperiled; they had to leave and leave quick.’? So in spite of the primary hardships which the Negro must en- dure, he is not permitted to flee from them if either the ingenuity of the law or personal intimidation can restrain him. From what the ex-congressman says, it may be inferred that if a substitute for the Negro were found, the latter would be permitted, and perhaps com- pelled to go. And it may be remembered that a southern commis- sion, on which the present governor of Georgia served, recently vis- ited Europe in an endeavor to persuade foreign emigrants to settle in the South, with a hope that a substitute for the’Negro might be thus obtained, But from all appearances, present conditions in the South will continue indefinitely, and under the circumstances there is but one thing for the Negro to do, and that is to improve himself where he is as rapidly as possible. In the problem presented, with all of its difficulties, there are elements that may bring him a greater triumph than would be his if a Moses should rise up and exhort him to fight his way out of the wilderness, By REV. DR. C. P. GOODSON, ce. Vaca The church is a failure. Whatever may be said in regard to the givat work of the church, which has been mighty in the making of our splendid civilization, and without which there would be no social foundation and life, it must be admitted that the church of to-day and in the past is a failure.

BENNETT BOOMS DRY FARMING IS DOING MUCH FOR COLORADO. IRRIGATION UNNECESSARY Within Eighteen Months Barren Waste Changed Into a Paradise of Waving Grains. G. F. Oxley, a correspondent for the Denver News, recently made a trip to the vicinity of Bennett and has the following to say about dry farming: Thousands of acres of fertile farming lands in all directions from Bennett, thirty-two miles east of Denver, where, until eighteen months ago, there was but a semi-arid prairie, again prove to the skeptical that Colorado farming lands and the Campbell system of dry farming, judiciously coupled, are a combination that is hard to beat in the farming world. Less than two years ago Bennett was a village of three or four houses and a general merchandise store. It is on the Union Pacific railroad. Today Bennett is a thriving community of 500 inhabitants, and the wheat fields waving on all sides form a grateful relief from the monotony of the prairie lands surrounding them. The metamorphosis in eighteen months is little short of marvelous. It was accomplished, however, simply by the application of known principles of dry farming. To the efforts of J. L. Donohue more than to any other one man, can be traced the present prosperity of Bennett. Several other men are interested in the country and the farming lands which now surround the town, but it was due to Donohue's initiative that the cultivation of the soil there was begun in March, 1906. Tries New System. Donohue became interested in dry farming several years ago when, with a syndicate of men, he was formulating a plan to irrigate "The Model Farm," fourteen miles northwest of Ault. Engineers had drawn plans for the irrigation of that farm by pumping water from a heavy underflow on the land to be reclaimed, but just before the plans were put into execution Donohue learned of the Campbell system through a pamphlet which an accident placed in his way. The system was tried on this farm with such success that the farm has since become famous throughout the country as "The Model Farm" and Donohue became a firm believer in the principles of dry farming. Consequently, when his company wished to secure, and develop more farming lands it turned to land where the Campbell system could be practiced. Careful study of surface and subsols throughout the state was made, and from the average showing of earth bores made by engineers the country surrounding Bennett was chosen for development. Several sections of land were purchased at an average cost of $2 an acre. The final arrangements were made February 7, 1906, and the following month found H. F. Palmer, a graduate of the Michigan Agricultural College, installed as superintendent of the work of development. Fleid peas were sown in the spring of 1906, a half section being given up to this crop. During the summer months, while the peas were maturing, the work of fencing in the lands and drilling for water for domestic purposes was done. Excellent water was found at a depth of seventy-eight feet and several wells were driven. In the fall the peas were harvested. Some were sold for seed and some used as feed for hogs, which were fat- Good Strike on Blackbird. Ouray, Colo. — Two remarkably good strikes have been made in the Black Bird mine in the Bear Creek district. In the raise being made on the vein twelve inches of ore is exposed, assays from which run 320 ounces in silver with good gold and copper values. A winze is also being sunk on the vein and thirteen inches of gray copper ore has been opened up there. Work was started on the Uncle Sam mine on Engineer mountain by Richard Oachs. The Uncle Sam is an extension of the Frank Hough and has produced ore running thirty per cent. in copper, thirty-six ounces silver and $4 to $8 in gold. The adjoinning claim — Uncle Sam No. 3—gives promise of becoming a gold producer and will also be open 1 up soon. A strike is reported in the Yankee Girl, one of the Red Mountain Railroad, Mining & Smelting Co.'s properties, on the Joker level. Ten feet of ore is exposed in the breast of the drift of the character peculiar to this group of properties running high in copper and silver. The Guston, Genessee and Yankee Girl, all in the same group, are shipping large quantities of ore to the Silverton smelter. The ore sometimes runs into the thousands of ounces in silver and down to $25 and $50 ore. A strike of eighteen inches of ore running into the thousands of ounces in silver is reported by leasers on the Revenue mine. Returns on a twenty-one-ton car shipped by John Gelingo and others who are leasing on the Revenue, ran $3,000. Shipments will be made regularly by the three sets of leasers during the remainder of the season. Pioneer Official of Pueblo Is Dead. Pueblo.—Clancy J. Long, aged sixty-one, a prominent resident of Pueblo and several times a public official, died here after an illness of a year with paralysis. Long served as alderman from South Pueblo in 1886 and was a member of the board when the two towns were consolidated. In November, 1893, he was elected county commissioner and was again elected in 1900, this time serving two terms. During his last term he was chairman of the board and superintendent of the poor. He served in the Third Colorado cavalry during the Civil war and made the trip across the plains with his father to Pueblo, where he located in 1872. His wife died three years ago, and he is survived by five children. tened for the market. While the hogs were at pasture on this ground it was plowed, packed, harrowed and sown with winter wheat. The hogs were allowed to feed over this ground for nearly three months after it was sown for the wheat. When the hogs were sold the net profit per acre realized on the half section was $17.66. That the rooting about of hogs was in no way detrimental to the wheat crop, is shown by a return of between thirty and thirty-five bushels an acre. Acting upon the suggestion of Prof. Olin of the State Agricultural College, the wheat was sown lightly, only thirty pounds to the acre. Leaving Denver at 3:15 o'clock in the afternoon in Donohue's automobile, the run to Bennett was made in less than one and one-half hours, and the party was shown about the farm lands, where the winter wheat is now being headed preparatory to being threshed. Many of the details of dry farming, unknown to those in the car farming were explained by Donohue and Superintendent Palmer. Besides the wheat, fields which are known to be successful, several tracts of land, ranging in size from two to twenty-five acres each, have been sown with various grains and roots with a view to ascertaining just which have the greatest drought-resistant qualities, and which produce the largest crops with the least possible expenditure of seed and labor. Under suggestions advanced by Professor Olin, Superintendent Palmer has seeded macaroni wheats (of which there are more than 100 varieties) proso, emmer, kherson oats, dwarf milo maize, millet, potatoes, pumpkins, watermelons, cantaloupes, cucumbers, cabbage, beans, peas and barley. All these are bing grown along experimental lines and strictly according to directions from the State Agricultural College. Along these experimental lines is being tried the plan of having a plow, packer and harrower follow closely in the wake of the headers as they harv vest the grain. Thus the crop is hardly taken from the ground before the sod is turned, packed and har rowed. This is done for the purpose of destroying the capillary action of the earth, so that as much as possible of the moisture in the ground may be conserved and the ground be in the best possible condition for the planting of winter wheat two or three months later on. Will Build New Siding. The town of Bennett itself has taken quite a boom since it became the center of a farming community. The fifty-seven families which have moved into the community—outside of the town—to engage in farming, have necessitated the building of a postoffice, another general store, a restaurant and several like buildings. The freight receipts of the railroad have increased to such an extent that a new siding is to be put in and a grain elevator constructed within the next month. In discussing the marvelous growth of the community from a mere watering place for the Union Pacific to its present proportions in so short a space of time, Donohue said: "The whole secret of it is the fact that we had faith in Colorado soil, and that we coupled intelligent and painstaking cultivation processes with that faith. "With a little plowing, a trifle more packing with a corrugated iron roller and a great deal of harrowing, dry farming is bound to be a success, all other things being ordinary. The proper preparation of the land before the seed is planted, and after it is planted but before it begins to stool, is most essential in this line of farming. In this way only can the natural moisture of the ground be conserved in such a manner as to enable the crops to mature and yield a good profit. Woman with Unbalanced Mind Hangs Mosco v.—With the observance of the greatest privacy, Madam Fromkina, who in March last attempted to assassinate General Rheinbet, the exprefect of police and who in May made an attempt to murder the inspector of the political prison here, wounding him with a pistol which had been mysteriously smuggled into her cell, was hanged in this city at sunrise July 25th. The authorities made every effort during the past fortnight to persuade the woman to plead for the mercy of the Emperor, but this she obstinately refused to do. Her parents interceded with the throne in her behalf but their efforts were unavailing. Madam Frominka was not charged with actual murder, but accused of making several ineffectual attempts to kill officials. It is believed that her mind was unbalanced and that she suffered from hysteria. Inheritance Tax Cuts Gift The bequest of $300,000 left by the late Andrew Mackay to the University of Colorado when he died last spring may dwindle somewhat before the money reaches that institution. In an opinion at the request of E. J. Ingram, a regent of the State University, Morace Phelps, assistant attorney general, states: "I am clearly of the opinion that the bequest to the University of Colorado is subject to the provisions of the inheritance tax, and that an inheritance tax must be paid thereon. I also think that the executor is entitled to his percentage. This, however, may be modified by some provision of the will." The estate of Andrew Mackay has been found to be worth only $250,000 altogether. The inheritance tax would be six per cent. Denver & Rio Grande to Double Track The Denver & Rio Grande is preparing to double track its road from Denver to Pueblo, and it is understood that the work will be authorized at the annual meeting of the stockholders in October. The company has been gradually double tracking the most important sections of the road for several years, and it has been announced by General Superintendent Welby that most of the double track authorized last year would be finished in a month. This includes double tracking the road from Florence to Canon City and from Rex to Red Cliff. Heavy eighty-five-pound steel is being used for this work. FARMERS'RIGHTS FARMERS'RIGHTS PRAIRIE LANDS IN COLORADO ARE OPEN TO ENTRY. RAINFALLDOESN'TINTERFERE Recelver and Register of the Land Office Make Important Ruling in Title Contest Case. Denver.—Prairie lands are not exempt from entry under the desert act, according to a decision rendered by Register C. D. Ford and Recelver Hugh Taylor of the Denver land office. The fact that dry farming and the heavy rainfall of the last two years has made it possible to raise crops on the prairie is not to be allowed to affect the validity of titles to arid lands. This decision was rendered in the case of Jesse M. Acree against Mrs. Nannie M. Jackson, a contest which threatened to affect the titles to thousands of acres of land in Colorado taken up under the desert act. It was the first of its kind filed in this state, and the opinion handed down yesterday will relieve the suspense of many land owners all over the West. "The land in question is situated near the base of the Rocky mountains at an elevation of almost one mile and about twenty-five miles northeast of Denver. It forms a part of that extensive prairie region commonly known as the 'Great Plains,' upon which, particularly in the state of Colorado, hundreds of desert entries have been made and vast sums expended in the construction of various systems of irrigation, and it is difficult to believe that such sums would have been expended if agriculture could have been depended upon as even fairly successful without irrigation," says the United States land officials in their decision. "The said land and the city of Denver appear to be similarly situated and it is to be presumed that there would be but little difference in the mean annual rainfall of the two places." Jesse M. Acree, the contestant, is a farmer near Barr, Colorado. He started to cultivate the land in question early in 1905, without filing on it. He did so to experiment and find out whether it was good, fertile soil. When he had done so for two years and determined that it was worth taking up, Mrs. Jackson jumped in and beat him to the land office, recording her entry under the desert act August 14, 1906. Then Acree filed his contest, claiming that the entry was fraudulent, inasmuch as he had shown that the tract was not desert land, as he had cultivated it, consequently not subject to entry under the desert act. He alleged "that said land will without artificial irrigation produce an agricultural crop in amount to make the cultivation reasonably remunerative." The decision says further: "It appears that the tract in controversy is high, rolling prairie land, covered with a natural growth of buffalo grass and other grasses, and some cactus; that in the year 1905 the contestant plowed and fenced about fifteen acres of said land and planted the same to corn, pumpkins and melons, from which was harvested about thirty bushels of car corn per acre and a fair showing of pumpkins and melons at a net profit of about $9 per acre; that in the following year there was an estimated net profit of about $12 per acre and that the ground s6 planted was not cultivated either year. "Section 2 of the desert land act defines that all lands exclusive of mineral and timber lands, which will not without irrigation produce some agricultural crop, shall be deemed desert lands within the meaning of this act." "In the interpretation of said section 2 in the case of Babcock vs. Watson et al., the department held: 'It it not necessary, however, that the lands without irrigation should be so sterile and barren that they will not produce at all.'" The decision then quotes the rainfall statistics for the region for the years from 1890 to 1904, and then for the years 1905 and 1906, showing that in the latter two years it was much above the average. From this fact it is deduced that extraordinary precipitation is accountable for the fact that Acree raised crops so profitably on the land. "Even granting that crops of the value and character claimed were raised upon the land, we are of the opinion that such fact is not sufficient to show conclusively that it will without irrigation in an average year, or one year with another for a series of years, make a fair return to the ordinarily skillful husbandman for the seed and toll expended in endeavoring to secure a crop; and, furthermore, it is shown by the report of the United States weather bureau, as above set forth, that the years of 1905 and 1906 were above the average as to annual rainfall and that the mean annual rainfall for this section of country covering a number of years falls far short of the limit recognized by the department at which successful agriculture without irrigation may be carried on. "We are also of the opinion that the allegation of fraud has not been sustained. We accordingly have to recommend that the said contest be dismissed and that the said entry of Nannie M. Jackson be allowed to remain intact." Thirty days are allowed within which appeal may be taken to the commissioner of the general land office. Acree has declared his intention of fighting the case to the limit, so it probably will be taken to Washington. Leaves Fortune to Nurse. Glenwood Springs, Colo.—Frank Burcham, sixty-six years old, died here of paralysis. He was one of the first settlers in Glenwood Springs and was engaged in the stone mason business. He was worth about $50,000, all of which he bequeathed to Miss Tillie Englebrecht, a professional nurse, who has taken care of him during the past year, during which he has been helpless.

Sargent, the United States commissioner of immigration, said one day in Washington: “There {s fine stuff in some of these poor people who come to uor shores. T heard recently of a young Swedish woman. Brave, witty and honorable, she could bring splendid young Americans into the world. A short time after she arrived among us, her husband got ont of work. Naturally, then, the rent fell behind. ‘The land- ‘ord called for it one day in her hus- band’s absence. He listened to the young woman's tale of misfortune, re- garding the while her yellow hair, her clear blue eyes, her red mouth and white teeth. Suddenly, bending toward her, he said: Give us a kiss!’ “She drew back, and her blue eyes, as cold as ice, dwelt on him disdain- fully. “No! she sald, ‘my husband and I may be too poor to pay our rent, but we are not so poor that we can’t do our own kissing.’” AWFUL EFFECT OF ECZEMA. Covered with Yellow Sores—Grew Worse—Parents Discouraged—Cu- * ticura Drove Sores Away. “Our little girl, one year and a half old, was taken with eczema or that was what the doctor called it. We took her to three doctors but by this time she was nothing but a yellow, greenish sore, One morning we dis- covered a little yellow pimple on one of her eyes. Doctor No. 3 said that we had better take her to some eye spe- cialist, since it was an ulcer. So we went to Oswego to doctor No. 4, and he said the eyesight was gone. We were nearly discouraged, but I thought we would try the Cuticura Treatment, so I purchased a set of Cuticura Rem- edies, which cost me $1, and in three days our daughter, who had been sick about eight months, showed great im- provement, 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. Mrs, Frank Abbott, R. F. D.

I never remember having seen so much costly lace used on summer gowns as this year, and besides this introduction of rare old lace the Blouse of Japanese Silk. The broad limbous struts serve a central insertion of embroidered muslin, and then, in front, the blouse is finely tucked and inserted with lace, groups of tiny stiffen buttons being another firmly detail of its trimming, while the shew sleeves are arranged in quits a new way with crossed and many-buttoned strands of silk, to hold in their puffed fullness above a thick-inserted cuff. muslims themselves have been embroidered—by hand—in a manner elaborate and fine as to defy description. Some of these embroidered muslim garms are worn with the smallest possible little coates-belos of tussure or chine taffetas. For example, Biouse of Broderie Anglaise. The dainty effect of this house is enhanced by insertions of lace, all edged with tiny filling, the scalloped yoke and the pretty shaped cuffs also introducing this pretty contrast of fine lace the more boldly patterned broderie. the skirt of one which I saw the other day was of very fine broderie Anglise, entirely worked by hand, with bold cross-bars of Venetian guipure insertion. At the extreme hem these cross-bars were filled in with rich design of Cluny, and the whole thing was marvelously effective in a subdued way. The little coates—which in front was shaped like an Iron jacket set in wide pheats—was made of ivory fabrics, which showed buried roses, in faint delicate shades, all over its surface, and at the back this quiet coat was PIECE OF WINDSOR NEC and LACE. HOUSE OF GINIFON, TAILFETT. The rage for the "grey note" is unabated! Pale grey gloves and shoes, pale grey hats trimmed with shaded roses and lined with dull black, pale grey waistcoats for tailor-made gowns. Two important points of the toilette which will certainly remain "pale grey" until winter is with us again are the long suede gloves and the floating shoulder-scarfs, the latter frequently inset with fine black Chantilly and embroidered all around the edge with black silk. Some of the loveliest muslin gowns for afternoon wear are made of pure white Indian muslin, embroidered in pale-hued silks and inset with Maltese or Brussels lace. Silk embroideries in pale colors look exceedingly well on fragile muslin, though I much dislike them on linen, but they demand an acc compartment of lace motifs and insertions. All the embroidery designs of the moment are arranged to include Blouse of White Silk and Chiffon. The white silk and chiffon of the house is velled with lace, which makes soft background for bands of delicate green silk, edged with narrow silken braid, and connected just above the waist by other polished tabs, which give a corselet effect. Then below the folded band comes a smart little basque edged with braiding and a killed frill, festions of wee roses, embroidered in pale yellow and pink also entering into the decorative detail. Inserted motifs of lace, and in some cases these designs are carried to an exaggerated degree of elaboration. When flowers in colored silks are introduced on white muslin dresses the silks are always of the softest and Blouse of White Chiffon The white chiffon, which is patterned with black velvet white, is sketched and arranged with bowls of bowled chiffon, bowled chiffon, bowled chiffon with white chiffon, and also sketched with black velvet, white chiffon, and sketched in those silks, being a white chiffon and those of the white chiffon and sketched chiffon drawn beneath the deep whiteband of black silks. most silky shades, and it have seen the loveloved chiffons observed with embroideries in Japanese style oriented out entirely in two or three shades of the same color. Flowered muslims are also very fashionable for silkoon shocks and a favorite inclusion in flowered muslim and pink muslim, the latter being in the same shade as the groundwork of the former. Once again we are wearing embroidered skirts with pink hobos, or blouses, but invariably the silves show the same embroideries as that on the skin. It is produced that we shall see how white house dress worn with colored linen and tuxedo skirts, but no one caressing this paragraph must run away with the idea that the family oil "house-and-skirt" idea is coming in favor again. It is quite possible that white house dress will be worn with gute blue linen, or gute patch tuxedo skirts in the late summer, but those colored skirts will invariably be insured—in some way—with the same hue as that used for the house. It will not be a cause of a "house-and-skirt," but of a specially designed costume. Consultando St. Lawrence Alma Tatiana, R.

"When you have seen the Golden Gate you will wonder at the difference between Turkey and California. But keep moving"—poor Mrs. Jonathan was getting awfully tired—and go north now past Shasta, and Hood, and Ranier, and their lesser satellites of snowy peaks, to Seattle, a city sitting on more hills than Rome ever knew, and take a steamer for the inside passage to Skagway. There you will find a new land of the Midnight Sun, with flords no less grand and gloomy; or turn from the shadows to the sunlight and stop in southern California. You have seen the Riviera? Yes?" Mrs. John didn't give Mrs. Jonathan time to even nod an affirmation, but was going again. "You will see a fresher and finer one there. And you will hear the old, old mission bells ringing in the new. Such flowers, such scenery, such fruits, such sunshine, such—but pardon me, I promised not to rhapsodize, didn't I? Turn eastward now, going through the Mojave desert, stopping on the way to awful magnificence of the Grand canyon I told you of, and to see the petrified forest, as a reminder of ruins older than Baalbec and Babylon. At New Orleans, a little southern Paris, take a steamer up the Mississippi—though down it is quicker—for a thousand miles through the land of cotton and the cane, thence into the Ohio, and for another thousand sail through a picturesque valley to Pittsburgh, where the iron works and money make Titian and Vulcan and Tubal Cain look like 30 cents, as you Americans say. Then there are the coal fields of Pennsylvania; the gold fields of the far west; the great plains that seem to have no end; cities that have risen in a night to wealth and power; colleges whose buildings are sermons in stone; men and women who in science and art and literature—" Mrs. Jonathan took a long, long breath. "Good gracious!" she exclaimed, "I'd be dead before I had done all that."—Outing. Gray Horses in Maine. After a disquisition on the value of gray horses, as compared with horses of other colors, the Parkhurst writer sagely notes: "You may change a farmer's religion or politics, make him think he is rich and handsome, coax his wife to run away with you, or sell him a dog, but you will never make him think a gray horse is not a jewel. I read somewhere recently that gray horses were not up to the standard, or words to that effect. I never was so astonished in my life. I have always thought, and do now, that gray or white horses were the handsomest, toughest breeds on the planet. "The celebrated Arabian horses are white or dapple gray. Famous generals in all wars have ridden white or iron gray chargers. Circus men select gray horses to draw the band wagons in street parades. A great packing company always selects Perheron horses, not so much for the color, but because their feet will stand traveling on the pavements better than any draft breed. It is said that Joan of Arc rode a milk white horse, and St. John, the revelator, saw a white horse in heaven (Rev. 6: 2). Half of the draft horses in Aarooostare are white or gray, and another decade will see 90 per cent. of them of that color."—Lewiston (Me.) Journal. Buys a Motor Car as He Buys a Hat. "That's a well-appearing Mercedes, 65-hour power?" "Yes, sir." "What's the price?" "Thirty-five thousand francs." "Good machine? Works well?" "Yes, sir." "Sure it's a real good Mercedes?" "None better." "Very well, I'll take it. I'll make out the check now." Fairchild to the End The flames crackled continuously, the water bubbled in the great pot, and seared in the shade of a palm, and the maked savages began to shrapen their cruel knives. "Is there no hope?" minimized the doomed commercial traveler. "None." Nonsense the adverbs object. "Then," said the young man, pointing to his sample case. "If you are determined to eat it, let us be silent let me ask you, in a last favor, to buy our brand of money with the feast.
