THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY Characteristics Wisely Viewed by Negro Most Peculiar of T to be C THE RACES' Characteristics Wisely Viewed by the True Reformer. That of the Negro Most Peculiar of Them All. Many of Us try to be Caucasians. Every race has its own characteristics and peculiarities. They are mental as well as physical. The most casual observer readily reveals to us that races differ in complexion, texture of hair, in size and sect. One race white, one brown, one yellow and one dark. The hair of some is straight, soft and flowing, another, stiff and coarse, and another short and crisp. If we observe more closely, and come into closer contact, we note they differ in habits, manners and customs and modes of thinking. Why is this, and for what purpose? The answer must be because God, the Almighty Creator, made and ordained them so, and hence for the best. They serve His great purpose. Holy Writ tells us that He created each after His kind. It is plain, then, that this is a universal law stamped upon the very face of our being, and is designed by the Creator for the accomplishment of some great end. Since this is true, each race can contribute most to the world by developing its peculiar characteristics to their fullest extent. In doing this they are serving the purpose of their creation, and can contribute the greatest possible good to the world's civilization. A race should study its own peculiar qualities and instincts and set about with the utmost care to cultivate them and bring them up to their highest possible efficiency. In doing this it has not only its own aid, but the aid of its Maker, who created and ordained it thus. To do otherwise is disastrous and deleterious, and must inevitably end in degeneracy and degradation. This has been and is too true of among the colored race in America. Many have tried to ignore and eliminate their own racial qualities, both mental and physical, and ape the white man. Some tried to get away from their own race and get in the other. Some used all kinds of cosmetics to bleach the skin, and all kinds of straightiness to straighten the hair. We have in mind a so-called race leader, who is the most striking illustration of the point at issue; he makes it a point to rise early in the morning to give himself ample time to go through this unnatural and foolish VOL. XIV. process. All kinds of cold creams, face powders, hair oils and straighteners are used, morning, noon and night to bring about the desired end. And we have noted as a result, he is less brilliant, less healthy and less independent in thought and action. He has become a veritable imitator. It is second nature with him now; he could no more stop it than he could stop breathing. We have in mind numbers of our women, who are even more guilty of doing these very things, who not only use the things mentioned, but even use hot curling tongs. Do not these things show they are trying to get away from the race, and get into the other? Why not be content with what God has given them? Why can they not see that the best within them is neglected? Does it not occur to them that they can only bring out and beautify that which is their own? They are not only guilty of the things just mentioned, but they try to walk and talk like them. We are sometimes struck when we see some of our people who have been around the whites in their homes, come out trying to talk just as they talk, instead of talking in their own natural way. We do not mean that they should not imitate them in that which is good and uplifting, for that would be beneficial and helpful. For all races, to some extent, imitate one another and cull that which is best from the other. For instance, the Japs studied the American way and took what was best in their civilization, and engrafted it upon their own. They studied the American navy, and improved theirs in their own Japanese way. And what was the sequence? We find this little people humiliating the great Russian empire, one of the great powers of the world. We find them admired and respected and honored throughout the civilized world. Who does not honor the Japs? Why? Because, while they picked what was best in other races, they stood true to Japan. Even Indians are admired, because they will be Indians and are proud of themselves. They are true to their racial characteristics. And the whites respect them today more than they do a Negro, although they are savages. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MARCH 21, 1908 Why is it that the Jews in our own midst are respected and are so prosperous? Because they are true to their race; they are proud that they are Jews. They believe that they are God's chosen people. They believe in Jewish traits, and stick to their religion and traditions, and believe it is the world. They stand by them and strive to develop them. Let us emulate their example; let us get what is best from other races, but don't try to be them, but be colored people, and proud of ourselves. What made Paul Lawrence Dunbar great as a poet? It was because he brought out his greatness in a race characteristic way. He developed his poetic genius through the Negro dialect. Asd he has placed his name among the great poets of all ages. He was one of the immortal few who was not born to die. OFFERS JEFFRIES $35,000 TO FIGHT. San Francisco, Cal., March 9. (Special)—Tex Rickard, the promoter, who signed the Gans-Nelson and other big bouts at Goldfield, Nevada, has offered Jim Jeffries, ex-champion heavyweight of the world, the tempting purse of $35,000, win, lose or draw, to box Jack Johnson, the colored heavyweight, for the heavyweight title, on Labor Day, at Rawhide, Nevada. It has been rumored about in sporting circles that Jeffries needs the money, and it is likely that he will accept. GANS NO SPRINTER Eddie Graney wired Joe Gans last week, asking whether he would agree to stop Abe Attell in twenty rounds. Gans wired back, "No." "I wouldn't agree to stop any fellow like Attell in twenty rounds," said Joe. "It's the easiest thing in the world to stay away from a man in a limited bout, and it's the hardest job in the world to catch a fellow when you have to. "Why, if I shouldn't stop him he'd claim the title, and there you are. The best I will do for any of them is to fight at 133 pounds, the winner to get the big end of the purse. I have five or six offers in my pocket now for fights, but there's only one that I think I'll take. That's a ten-round go with Unholz at Los Angeles in May. They tell me all those sailors will be in the South then, and this Unholz—honest, it's too easy to let go. "I can't accept any of the other offers until I get a little division thing fixed up. I have to go on the stand in a day or two and tell the story of my life. If I don't go to the coop for ten years or so I'm going to start in again and get some more bacon." KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS Purchase Forty-Room Building in Hot Springs to be Used as Sanitarium. Hot Springs, Ark, March 8. The temple and sanitarium commission of the Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias of N. A. S. A. E. A. A. and A. has been in session here this week. The purpose of the meeting was the purchase of a building or site for the National Pythian sanitarium for the establishment of which the funds have already been raised. The commission went into session on Thursday, at which time many prominent citizens of Hot Springs, including the present mayor and two ex-mayors came before it and bade them welcome to the city. The commission was assured that in their efforts to establish a sanitarium for their own people they would have the support of all citizens, regardless of color. The local committee had secured options on a number of properties, each of which was visited and inspected by the committee. In executive session on Friday afternoon the commission decided to purchase either the Capitol hotel and bath house or the French flats, which is a pressed brick building of forty rooms. A sub-committee, consisting of C. D. Criswell, of Georgia; A. W. Lloyd, of Missouri; J. M. Hazlewood, of West Virginia; J. W. Slaughter, of Mississippi, and E. D. Green, of Illinois, remains here to close the transaction. The commission was royally entertained by the local committee, headed by Dr. C. M. Wade, to whose efforts the establishment of the sanitarium is due. In this movement, as in others, the great Pythian order has taken an advance step in race work. It will make it possible for Pythians and future generations to have the opportunity to take advantage of the wonderful healing waters provided by Nature. FINED FOR INSULT Berlin, March 11.—A Negro musician in the German army today was given satisfaction in court for criticism passed upon him by a white man. The Negro's name is Sabak-El-Cher, and he is band-master in the Crown Prince's regiment of the First Grenadier Guards. A white man named Eric E. Peterson wrote a letter to the Deutsche Zeitung in which he said it was a shame that a black man should be placed in authority over white men in a crack regimental band. Sabak felt aggrieved and took the matter to court. The case was heard today and Peterson was fined $5. RACE NEWS Gathered from Various Sources. Guthrie, Okla., March 9.—"Uncle Preston" Watkins, colored, who claims to be 107 years old, is now cutting his third set of teeth. He is very spry and active, and does not appear to be nearly as old as he says he is. Physicians say that the teeth are coming all right, and that is a very unusual circumstance. Washington, March 18.—William Dulaney, the president's colored barber, who has been at the White house ever since Mr. Roosevelt entered it, has laid aside the official razor to become a bookkeeper in the office of the auditor for the navy. The appointment for the position, which carries with it a salary of $1,600, was made at the request of the president several days ago. Alton, Ill., March 10.—John Hart, colored, holds the key to the school problem in West Alton. The law says there must be thirteen colored children in a district before it shall be necessary to maintain a separate school for them, and West Alton has for years depended on Hart, with his fourteen children. He is about to move away, and when he does the school must close, as there are only eight other colored children in the district. A few nights ago in New York former Governor P. B. S. Pinchback, accompanied by Editor Roscoe Conkling Simmons, of the National Review, entered a box at the Majestic theater to witness "In Bandana Land." as the guests of Williams and Walker. The great audience mistaking the silver-haired Louisianian for Andrea Carnegie, began a storm of ap plause which would not be stayed until it had spent its natural force. When it was explained that the distinguished visitor was the beloved Pinchback, a "big hand" was given him on his own account. Tuesday, March 10th, a middle-aged colored woman entered the ferryboat Cape May, at Kaighn's avenue, Camden. She walked through the ladies' cabin and then stood leaning on the guard rail at the bow of the boat. She was neatly dressed and did not act eccentrically. When the boat reached the middle of its trip and while the deck hands were busy elsewhere, the woman quietly unlocked the iron gates in front of the boat and NO. 26. sprang overboard. She was seen by the pilot who signalled the engineer to stop the boat. Owing to the darkness the crew were unsuccessful in saving the woman or recovering her body. Has it ever occurred to you, says the Lexington (Ky.) Dispatch, that the newspapers of the country owe something to the colored race other than recording day after day the crimes that Negroes commit? What newspaper within your range of reading gives any space to the colored race to promote the best interests of these people? You cannot name one. We hold them up to ridicule; we show, humorously, their dense ignorance and quaint views to make white folks laugh, and we tell with unfailing regularity of the worst they are guilty of, not forgetting to say "big, black brute," and narrate how he was lynched. Now all Negroes are not bad. There is many a good man among them. It is rare that we notice him. We owe it to him to notice him, tell of the good work he does, not only to encourage him, but to encourage others of his people. The newspapers of the South have not given the Negro a square deal. Possessed of all the prejudices incident to white life in the South, we nevertheless submit that we as newspapers treat the colored man badly and we ought to do better than we have done. By doing so we will contribute to our own welfare. RACE DIVIDED "That the Negro is divided and will not come together is evident." says the True Reformer. "And just why this condition continues to obtain among us, is almost unexplainable, for it certainly must be clear to every sane man that in union there is strength, and in disunion weakness. It may not be, but it occurs to us that this condition is due entirely to so many of our people wanting to be leaders. Unfortunately for the race, every other man you meet wants to be a Leader, and many of these would-be leaders are jealous of the real leaders, consequently the would be leader occupies much of his time abusing our best men and women and does everything within his power to weaken and discredit every effort put forward for the race by the real leaders of the race. "We think that such foolishness should be done away with; and a common end being determined upon, every one should do his best to bring about its consumption. This is an end to which we all should kevotely pray," [Illustration of a woman with dark hair styled up, wearing a high-collared dress with a patterned neckline.] Proof is inexhaustible that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound carries women safely through the Change of Life. Read the letter Mrs. E. Hanson, 304 E. Long St., Columbus, Ohio, writes to Mrs. Pinkham: "I was passing through the Change of Life, and suffered from nervousness, headaches, and other annoying symptoms. My doctor told me that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was good for me, and since taking it I feel so much better, and I can again do my own work. I never forget to tell my friends what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound did for me during this trying period." FACTS FOR SICK WOMEN. For thirty years Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made from roots and herbs, has been the standard remedy for female ills, and has positively cured thousands of women who have been troubled with displacements, inflammation, ulceration, fibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, that bearing-down feeling, flatulency, indigestion, dizziness or nervous prostration.

Adams St., Chicago HOW TO KNOW PURE PAINT. A Way in Which It May Be Identified Before Using. After a building has been painted long enough for a weather test, it is easy to tell if the paint used was made of pure White Lead or not. But such belated knowledge comes like locking the barn after the colt is stolen. What one wants is a test that will tell the quality of the paint before it and the labor of putting it on are paid for. Nature has provided a way in which genuine White Lead may be positively distinguished from adulterated or fake White Lead before you spend a cent on your painting. Pure White Lead is made from metallic lead, and, under intense heat, such as is produced by a blow-pipe, pure White Lead will resolve itself back into metallic lead. If, however, it is not genuine White Lead, or if it contains the slightest trace of adulteration, the change will not take place. Therefore the "blow-pipe" test is an absolute and final one. The National Lead Company are urging everyone interested in painting to make this test of paint before using it, and they guarantee that the pure White Lead sold under their "Dutch Boy Painter" trade-mark will always prove absolutely pure under the "blow-pipe" or any other test. To make it easy for you to perform the experiment they will send you free upon request a blow-pipe and everything necessary for you to make the test, together with a valuable booklet on paint.

The town of Mead has filed articles of incorporation and is providing for the election of officers. The La Junta hospital, costing $20,000, has been completed and turned over to the directors of the hospital association. Work of cementing the Riverside reservoir dam near Greeley has been resumed by 250 men and teams and will be completed this spring. Russia, Holland, Austria, Sweden, Scotland, Denmark and Canada all contributed to the citizenship of Larimer county in naturalization cases recently before the District Court. Representative Bonynge has appointed Orlando Ward as cadet in the West Point military academy, with Young Baker Miller first and George Carruthers second alternates. All reside in Denver. Andrew Carnegie has offered to donate $875 toward a pipe organ for the new United Presbyterian church at Fort Morgan, now nearing completion, if the congregation will give a like amount, which it has agreed to do. Dr. Archibald L. Camp, one of the members of the Union colony and an early settler at Greeley, who has been for many years a prominent Weld county farmer, died at his home east of Greeley on the 14th inst. at the age of eighty-five years. Owing to the scarcity of moisture throughout the winter, a great deal of the fall wheat in the vicinity of Fort Morgan will be plowed up and spring wheat sown in its place. An unusual amount of wheat was planted in the Bijou district last fall. J. F. Sanford, attorney for the Modern Woodmen of America, has paid $15,000 to the executors of the Ambler estate and secured a deed to the 1,000-acre tract five miles north of Colorado Springs, which is to be used as the site for the M. W. A. national home and sanitarium. The town authorities of Coal Creek in Fremont county have decided to make the principal streets of the camp wider than they were before the fire last June. The town has been resurveyed and the streets will be at least fifteen feet wider than formerly. A better class of business blocks is also being erected. Rev. Orrin W. Auman, pastor of the First Methodist church at Pueblo announced Sunday that the church has opened an employment agency, in charge of a capable man, whose business it will be to find work for such as desire it. It is understood that other churches will undertake similar work. A press club has been organized at Pueblo with W. J. Orange as temporary chairman. The club expects to open rooms and to take charge of a room at the Pueblo hospital which the directors have set aside for the use of newspaper men. It was decided that only news writers and editors could be eligible to the active membership list. At a meeting of the Loveland Chamber of Commerce the date of the annual Loveland corn roast was changed from September to August 19th, and the dates of the annual races and live stock show were changed from September 7th, 8th and 9th to August 19th, 20th and 21st. These changes were made so as not to conflict with the dates of the Interstate fair to be held in Denver. About fifty pioneers from Denver and all along South Platte canon took part in a surprise banquet given on the 13th inst. to Mrs. Given, the old-time cateress, the occasion being her sixty-fourth birthday. Mrs. Given came to Denver from Leadville in 1879 and has been in the restaurant business ever since. Recently she has been managing the Kiowa Lodge, at Bailey's, in South Platte canon. It is asserted at Walden that the Laramie, Hahn's Peak & Pacific will put surveyors in the field again in a few days if the weather permits. The finances of the company are said to be ample and material is being delivered as rapidly as it is needed. Construction will be pushed this summer and the company expects to carry out its plans for the year as announced when work ceased last autumn. For the recovery of Colorado lands, valued at $500,000, the United States government has filed suit in the Federal Court against the New Mexico Lumber Company and thirty co-defendants. It is alleged that the lands, which are under the jurisdiction of the Durango district, were secured by fraudulent entries on the part of the co-defendants, who later transferred them to the lumber company. The railroads of Colorado have agreed that on each Tuesday, commencing June 13th, to and including October 13th, a rate of one fare for the round trip will be made from Denver to Colorado Springs, Manitou, Pueblo and any other point within the state of Colorado. This is the same as the rate fixed last summer. On July 8th and 9th the same one-fare rate to Denver for the Democratic convention from all points in the state will prevail. Adolph Fehringer, brother of Otto Fehringer, the Colorado Springs drug-gist who was shot by a holdup, has been appointed administrator of the estate, valued at about $100,000. As Otto left no will and had no children by either of his two marriages, Adolph, is the nearest heir. The property consists of real estate in Colorado Springs, valued at $25,000; drug and liquor stocks, valued at $40,000, and cash in the bank, stocks, bonds, jewelry, book accounts and household goods valued at $35,000. President C. E. Stubbs of the Colorado fair and exposition to be held in Overland park at Denver the second week in September of this year, is now in the East in the interest of the exposition. Work is progressing rapidly at Overland park. The wilderness immediately back of the club house has been cleared and 200 teams are used in grading and filling up this tract upon which the various buildings are to be erected. This work will be finished by April 15th, when actual construction of buildings will begin. RIO GRANDE MEN STRIKE. Strike Breakers Reach Denver and Strikers Issue Statement. Denver.—Thursday morning at 7:30 o'clock 120 men were brought into Denver from Chicago. They were taken immediately to the Denver & Rio Grande shops at Burnham, having been employed to take the places of the striking machinists, boilermakers and blacksmiths. It is reported that 300 more men are now on the way and will be distributed over the system. The following communication to the public was made by the press committee of the strikers Thursday: "(To the public:) Believing that the good people of Denver and Colorado are interested in our struggle with the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad Company, and it is proper and right they should know the causes leading up to the controversy, we respectfully herein set them forth. "It has been customary of late years for all railroad corporations to make contracts with their employees. The Rio Grande is not an exception to that rule. Now to our utmost surprise and astonishment, on the twelfth of February a notice was posted in all the shops of the Rio Grande, signed by Mr. T. B. Purves, Jr., superintendent of motive power and machinery. It stated that on and after March 14th all contracts and agreements with their machinists, blacksmiths, boilermakers, pipemen, carmen, etc., would be null and void, and discontinued in the future. "Now we wish to state that this means life or death, not only to our craftsmen on the Denver & Rio Grande, but to the labor unions throughout the United States. We wish to say further that when said notices were posted, our committees got busy at once and met the management, with the hope that our differences could be amicably adjusted. To our amazement we met with the declaration that they were tired of doing business with labor unions, and that they would make rules and regulations of their own, and henceforth we would work under the same or not at all. "Our committees went to the highest officials, with a proposition to make concessions in our former agreements; hoping they would meet us half way. But alas! We were doomed to bitter disappointment. Our only solace was, 'there were thousands of men to take our places.' "Now what do these shop rules imply? "1. The disruption of our unions. "2. A reduction in wages. "3. Longer hours. "4. The undoing of our apprenticeship system. "5. Classification of pay. "6. Dealing with us individually, instead of as a dody. "And now for our final and chiefest reasons for opposing these shop rules. The labor unions will cease to exist. Every man for himself and the devil take the hindermost. The spirit of rivalry and jealousy will be introduced among us. The corporation officers by favoritism and other means, well know how to divide us, and keep us divided, will rule over us with an iron hand. They know this to be true and so do we. "They know how to handle Legishatures and courts and who are we that we could hope to hold our own against the all but omnipotent power of corporate wealth and art. We must stand sternly together, shoulder to shoulder, in the strong union of our several crafts, and then in the strength of our federated bodies. This we propose to do until the end of this struggle. "The corporation managers everywhere realize the weakness of unorganized masses of men; who are dependent on their daily wage to buy bread for themselves and families. They know if the federated body of union men are destroyed they can play us off one against the other and cut wages to the starvation point. "They claim they do not want to be dictated to by their men; yet they seek at our expense a position where they can dictate to us. We only want to stand where we can control our own crafts; where we can say on what terms we shall sell our only property, our only stock in trade—our labor. The corporations are fighting for higher dividends. We are fighting for bread for our wives and children. "We are persuaded that we have the sympathy, friendship and good will of the press of Denver and the people of Colorado. We prize same very highly, and hope to maintain it through the conflict." "All of us are peaceful and law- abiding citizens; some have been in the employ of the Rio Grande for the last twenty-five years, and have always been loyal and true to their inter- ests. Yet the company has posted rules where the parting of the ways must come unless they recede from their position. "We feel that we are only doing our duty and fighting the battle of labor everywhere. We realize the might and power of our opponent yet we feel no fear about the outcome of this conflict; 'for thrice armed is he whose cause is just.' "Respectfully submitted, "B. F. PERRY, "GEO. W. KUYKENDALL, "HARRY KLEIN, "Press Committee." Uninstructed Delegates. New York.—As predicted by Chairman W. J. Conners, the Democratic state committee Thursday voted almost solidly in favor of an uninstructed delegation to the national convention. But one voice was raised in opposition, that of Charles P. Williams of Lyone, who subsequently explained that he stood for William Jennings Bryan, and if Mr. Williams could have had his way Thursday's birthday gifts to the Nebraskan would have included the promise of united support by the Democracy of New York state. The meeting only lasted eight minutes, all of the fifty-one delegates being present. PERUNA EDITORIAL NO.2. Dr. Hartman has claimed for many years that Peruna is an EXCELLENT CATARRH REMEDY. Some of the doctor's critics have disputed the doctor's claim as to the efficacy of Peruna. Since the ingredients of Peruna are no longer a secret, what do the medical authorities say concerning the remedies of which Peruna is composed? Take, for instance, the ingredient HYDRASTIS CANADENSIS, OR GOLDEN SEAL. The United States Dispensatory says of this herbal remedy, that it is largely employed in the treatment of depraved mucous membranes, chronic rhinitis (nasal catarrh), atonic dyspepsia (catarrh of the stomach), chronic intestinal catarrh, catarrhal jaundice (catarrh of the liver), and in diseased mucous membranes of the pelvic organs. It is also recommended for the treatment of various forms of diseases peculiar to women. Another ingredient of Peruna, CORYDALIS FORMOSA, is classed in the United States Dispensatory as a tonic. CEDRON SEEDS is another ingredient of Peruna, an excellent drug that has been very largely overlooked by the medical profession for the past fifty years. THE SEEDS ARE TO BE FOUND IN VERY FEW DRUG STORES. The United States Dispensatory says of the action of cedron that it is used as a bitter tonic and in the treatment of dysentery, and in intermittent diseases as a SUBSTITUTE FOR QUININE. OIL OF COPAIBA, another ingredient of Peruna, is classed by the United States Dispensatory as a mild stimulant and diuretic. It acts on the stomach and intestinal tract. It acts as a stimulant on the genito-urinary membranes. Useful in chronic cystitis, chronic dysentery and diarrhea, and some chronic diseases of the liver and kidneys. These opinions as to the ingredients of Peruna are held by all writers on the subject, including Bartholow and Scudder.

FIGHTS ALDRICH BILL DECLARES IT IS DRAWN IN INTER EST OF MORGAN AND STAND- DARD OIL. Washington.—"What I have to say is made more pertinent, if possible, by the action taken during the day with respect to the Aldrich bill," said Mr. La Follette in beginning his speech in the Senate on the currency bill Tuesday. His reference was to the amendments made to the bill by the committee on finance. Speaking of the Morgan and Standard Oil banks, and looking across the chamber toward Senator Aldrich, Mr. La Follette declared: "I will show the connection of these great groups with the bill pending here, notwithstanding the dexterous withdrawal of the proposition to incorporate railway bonds in the bill. "There were no commercial reasons for a panic," said Mr. La Follette. "There were speculative, legislative and political reasons why a panic might serve special interests. There were business scores to settle. There was legislation to be blocked and a currency measure suited to the system to be secured. There was a third term to be disposed of and policies to be discredited. "A panic came. I believe that it need only to be followed step by step to show that it was planned and executed insofar as such a proceeding is subject to control after one in motion. Such a statement without support in facts warranting it would deserve condemnation. To withhold such a statement, to shrink from plain speech setting forth the facts insofar as they can be uncovered is in the discussion of this legislation a plain public duty." He recounted in vivid language his view of the events of October 24th, when Wall street was in the throes of the currency stringency. "For the first time since the panic began, 11:30 a. m. o'clock arrived and everybody on the floor of the Stock Exchange was wildly seeking money at any price. Interest rates which had for several days ranged from twenty to fifty per cent. began to climb higher. Settlement must be made be made before 3 o'clock. Money must be forthcoming or the close of the business day would see Wall street a mass of ruins and banks and trust companies on the brink of collapse. "How perfect the stage setting. How real it all seemed. But back of the scones Morgan and Stillman were in conference. They had made their presentation at Washington. They knew when the next installment of aid would reach New York. They knew just how much it would be. They awaited its arrival and based there upon they pooled an equal amount and held it. Then they waited. "Interest rates soared. Wall street was driven to a frenzy. Two o'clock came and interest rates ran to 150 per cent. The smashing of the market became terrific. Still they waited. Union Pacific declined 10½ points. Northern Pacific and other stocks went down in like proportion. Five minutes passed—ten minutes past 2 o'clock. Then at precisely 2:15 the curtain went up with Morgan and Standard Oil in the center of the stage with money—real money, twenty-five millions of money, giving it away at ten per cent. And so ended the panic. "When once the government invites the national banks of the country to invest in railroad bonds for the patriotic purpose of averting financial disaster these railway bonds will become sacred paper," he said. "The good faith of the country will be pledged to defeat any legislation that suggests a disturbance of the four per cent dividend upon the stocks. The senator from Rhode Island will be heard in solemn warning. He will be told that the bonds were bought by the banks not to make money, but to be held in readiness to protect the credit and commerce of the country; that bond markets are easily disturbed; that such security is delicate and sensitive; that legislation menacing dividends even upon grossly watered stocks would alarm the holders of these bonds and force them upon a falling market at great sacrifice, possibly producing panic and leaving the banks but partly prepared to take out emergency currency." Senator Nelson's Son Dead. Colorado Springs.—Henry Knute Nelson, thirty-seven years old, son of United States Senator Knute Nelson of Minnesota, died here Tuesday morning after a long illness from consumption. His mother and sister, Miss Ida, were at his bedside when the end came and accompanied the remains to St. Paul. Senator Nelson was here to see his son a few weeks ago but was called back to Washington by urgent business. Henry K. Nelson came to Colorado Springs last July. Although a young man, he was prominent in political circles in Minnesota, having served one term in the Legislature. Stoessel Goes to Prison. St. Petersburg.—The Emperor Tuesday confirmed the death sentence passed upon Lieutenant General Stoessel and also the court's recommendation for commutation of the sentence to ten years' imprisonment in a fortress. The former commander of Port Arthur ineffectually petitioned for a full pardon. HARRY ORCHARD SENTENCED. Judge Believes His Testimony and Recommends Clemency. Caldwell, Idaho—Stating that he believed that Harry Orchard, in his testimony in the trials of William D. Heywood and George A. Pettibone for the murder of ex-Gov. Frank Steunenberg, told the exact truth, attempting to conceal nothing, Judge Fremont Wood, in the District Court Wednesday recommended that the State Board of Pardons commute Orchard's sentence to death to imprisonment in the State Penitentiary. Judge Wood closed his remarkable statement by saying that the prosecutions were not ended and that even if governors, judges and prosecutors were murdered, others would take their places and mete out justice to the guilty. The sentence of death was pronounced in accordance with the plea of guilty entered by Orchard Tuesday of last week, when arraigned. Judge Wood presided at both the Haywood and Pettibone trials. Orchard thanked the judge for his kind words, declared anew that he had not been promised immunity and burst into tears. In sentencing Orchard and recommending the commutation of his sentence, Judge Wood reviewed the case from the time of the killing of Frank Steunenberg to the present, including the arrest of Orchard, his confession, the arrest of Charles E. Moyer, president of the Western Federation of MIners; William D. Haywood, secretary-treasurer of the federation, and George A. Pettibone, the trials of Haywood and Pettibone and the plea of guiltly entered by Orchard to the charge of murder in the first degree, the punishment for which, under the Idaho statutes, is death. In regard to the part of Orchard in the trials, Judge Wood said: "I am more than satisfied that the defendant now at the bar of this court awaiting final sentence has not only acted in good faith in making the disclosures that he did, but that he also testified fully and fairly to the whole truth, withholding nothing that was material, and declaring nothing which had not actually taken place. "It was the particular province of the court to observe and follow this witness upon the former trials, and I am of the opinion that no man living could conceive the stories of crime told by the witness and maintain himself under the merciless fire of the leading cross-examination attorneys of the country, unless upon the theory that he was testifying to facts and circumstances which had an actual existence within his own experiences. A child can testify truly and maintain itself on cross-examination. A man may be able to frame his story and testify to a brief statement of facts involving a short single transaction. "But I cannot conceive of a case where even the greatest intellect can conceive a story of crime covering years of duration, with constantly shifting scenes and changing characters, and maintain that story with circumstantial detail as to times, places, persons and particular circumstances, and under as merciless a cross-examination as was ever given a witness in an American court, unless the witness thus testifying was speaking truthfully and without any attempt either to misrepresent or conceal. "The recommendation of the court to the pardon board is that the sentence of the court about to be imposed upon this defendant be commuted and that the death penalty be remitted." Judge Wood referred to the crimes of arson and murder in 1899 which culminated in the blowing up of the Bunker Hill and Sullivan concentrator and the death of two men and to the fact that although 1,000 men were involved, only one man was identified and punished thereafter in the state courts. "Orchard and Dewey, who at the time was a miner in the Coeur d'Alenes, are the only two men of the large number concerned," said Judge Wood, "who have had the courage or disposition to disclose the truth with reference to the crimes then committed. "This defendant," continued Judge Wood, "also testified to a long series of most atrocious crimes committed by himself and others in the state of Colorado, and he was corroborated in such details in relation thereto that there can be no doubt about his participation therein. "While these offenses were committed in the state of Colorado, this state, I think, under the circumstances, is under some obligation to withhold the execution of the only person who has voluntarily and freely disclosed these transactions. "It is impossible to believe that such a series of crimes can be committed, with many persons connected therewith, without one or more of said parties sooner or later yielding to the remorse of conscience and joining this defendant in confirmation of the disclosures which he has already made." To Advertise Leadville. Leadville, Colo.—The Leadville Citizens Mining and Improvement Association was formed here Wednesday night, having for its object the development of mining territory, the bringing to Leadville of various industries that will thrive here, the advertising of the city and district, an effort to secure reduced railway passenger and freight rates and the general good of the city. The following officers were elected: President, Senator A. V. Bohn; vice president, A. E. J. Whitney; secretary, E. W. Reeme; treasurer, R. W. Lanphier. The executive committee is composed of nineteen members among whom are former Governor Jesse F. McDonald, Col. K. L. Fahnestock, E. F. Austin, Mayor H. C. Rose, H. C. Butler and Winters Morrell. An immediate campaign of advertising Leadville will be started and an effort made to secure the investment of local and out of town capital in Leadville mining enterprises. The meeting was largely attended and full of enthusiasm. EMPLOYERS LIABILITY LAW CANNON AND FAIRBANKS TELL LABOR LEADERS IT WILL PASS PROTEST TO CONGRESS GOMPERS LEADS REPRESENTA TIVES OF EIGHTY-SEVEN DIF- FERENT ORGANIZATIONS. Washington.—Speaker Cannon and Vice President Fairbanks Thursday announced their belief that the present Congress will pass an employers' liability act which will meet and overcome the unconstitutionality of the present law pointed out by the Supreme Court of the United States in a recent decision. These statements were made unreservedly by Speaker Cannon and guardedly by the vice president, to a delegation led by Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, from eighty-seven national and international trade and labor organizations and farmers' organizations assembled in a national conference in this city. The delegation requested the speaker to lay before the House of Representatives, through him, a memorial entitled "Labor's Protest to Congress." The scope of his memorial was set forth in the following opening paragraphs: "We, the official representatives of the national and international trade and labor unions and organizations of farmers, appear before Congress to voice the earnest and emphatic protest of the workers of the country against the indifference, if not actual hostility which Congress has shown toward the reasonable and righteous measures proposed by the workers for the safeguarding of their rights and interests. "In the name of labor we now urge upon Congress the necessity for immediate action for relief from the most grave and momentous situation which has ever confronted the working people of this country. This crisis has been brought about by the application by the Supreme Court of the United States of the Sherman anti-trust law to the workers, both organized and in their individual capacity. "Labor and the people generally look askance at the invasion of the court upon the prerogatives of the law-making and executive departments of our government. "The workers feel that Congress itself must share our chagrin and sense of injustice when the courts exhibit an utter disregard for the real intent and purpose of the laws enacted to safeguard and protect the workers in the exercise of their normal activities. There is something ominous in the ironic manner in which the courts guarantee to workers: "The right to be maimed and killed without liability to the employer. "The right to be discharged for belonging to a labor union. "The right to work as many hours as employers please and under any conditions which they may impose. "Labor is justly indignant at the bestowal or the guaranteeing of these worthless and academic 'rights' by the courts, which in the same breath deny and forbid the workers the practical and necessary protection of laws which define and safeguard their rights and liberties and the exercise of them individually or in association." The "protest" submitted by Mr. Gompers and his associates—Joseph P. Valentine, eight vice president of the American Federation of Labor; W. R. Fairley of the United Mine Workers of America; C. M. Burnett of the American Society of Equity; W. D. Mahon, president of the Amalgamated Street and Electric Railway Employees, and P. J. McArde of the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers—offers to the Supreme Court decision in the hatters' case as "the most recent perversion of the intent of a law by the judiciary, by which the Sherman antitrust law has been made to apply to labor, although it was an accepted fact that Congress did not intend the law to so apply, and might even have specifically exempted labor but for fear that the Supreme Court might construe such an affirmative provision to be unconstitutional." Death of Captain Titcomb. Denver.—Captain John S. Titcomb one of the most prominent civil engineers in the state, died Wednesday, the 18th inst. from an illness contracted while surveying in New Mexico last summer. He was highly esteemed by a host of friends, to many of whom he was known as a man of musical and literary tastes. Capt. Titcomb was born in Great Falls, New York, 74 years ago and lived in the East until 1854, when he settled in Illinois. He served in the Civil war for four years, retiring with the rank of captain. His next residence was at Memphis, Tennessee where he served as city engineer for four years, and from there started for the West, about the time Horace Greeley was making his famous prohesies concerning this section. No one was more active in the work of laying out Greeley, Colorado, the greater part of his time being given to the construction of ditches. Later Captain Titcomb was located at Boulder and took an active interest in the State University, in which he was an instructor for several years. Captain Titcomb is survived by a wife and two grown sons. Russian Wrestler Wins.

WHEN Democrats get through their clamor over the question who shall be the next mayor of Denver, perhaps Republicans will begin to peep over the possibility of having something to do with the matter themselves. If Republicans should really decide that they have something to do with the situation after all, perhaps the struggle between Democratic factions would take on a less horrifying aspect. We are free to admit that the present all-absorbing state of affairs grates upon our nerves, and for the sake of personal equanamity we would like to see something doing. THE WANDERING MINSTREL THAT faulty characteristic, altogether too common among Negroes, by which a person expects to "get by" without much regard for recognized standards of efficiency, is sure to come in for its full share of lambasting one of these days when the Negro's failures are being traced to their legitimate sources. A familiar sight in most large cities of the North is the seedy colored man, usually young, hurrying through the streets at morning or evening, with an air of great importance, and carrying in his hand or under arm a mandolin or guitar wrapped in a cloth cover or a canvas or pasteboard case, with so other feature particularly noticeable to mark him as a musical genius. His course may lead to some white saloon, where he is going to play and sing for a few nickels and a free lunch; or to some carelessly conducted barber shop where a band of idle Negro ear-musicians congregate; or to some third-class dancing place where the twang of strings is needed merely to mark time for shuffling feet. To a certain extest these wandering minstrels assume to represent the musical ability of the colored people, and, when the opportunity offers, do not hesitate to rush in as such representatives, where angels might fear to tread. The Negro race is said to be a musical race by nature, but a good many freaks take advantage of this assumption. They overlook the requirement for a thorough musical education to develop whatever genius nature may have supplied. The tendency to skip over the work necessary to fit one to fill the part he assumes, in a capable and masterly manner gives us a horde of musicians who would be capable of making a very poor living as such. If the Negro is going to develop his musical genius, or any other genius he may have, he must learn that hard study and steady application of his effort to the science of his chosen calling are absolutely necessary to his permanent success. We do not think, as some people profess to think, that music is one of the great stepping stones to race development, but we do think that if we are going to have musicians at all, they should study music as other people study it, and not "pick it up." A makeshift individual never will make a thorough musician on anything else that is thorough. Money spent on him trying to overcome this impossibility will be wasted. A better idea of the world's standards of efficiency should be inculcated into our young people's minds, with the need to work and study and dig and fit one's self while young for the responsibilities that are sure to come as we get out into the world and its affairs, for without the ability to compare and compete with others, the Negro must make way for his betters, and fall back into the ranks of the wandering minstrels. THE UNDESIRABLES. THE extraordinary enthusiasm and earnestness which the colored American exhibits in all things pertaining to political and governmental affairs does not seem to impress other people so emphatically as it impresses the colored man himself. Stripped of all deceit and redfire illusion, the noise which colored men make in political campaigns seems to be really taken as the comedy part running through a great sensational drama, in which the character of the low comedian always comes in for rebuffs and disappointments after the most strenuous striving for impossible results. The colored American has long been led to believe that he was playing a real, vital part is this national drama, and that upon his efforts depended in large measure the rightful outcome of the whole struggle, and especially his own good; hence his enthusiasm. But in the light of actual developments, it is becoming apparent that, in the opinions of the star actors, these comedy parts can be quite done away with. In both speech and action leading Republicans have recently declared that the part which the Negro plays in politics is not important, and, in fact, should not be allowed to become important. As a meek, humble and thoughtless voter, whose political course is certain and changeless, he can be tolerated; but as an issue-making element he is quite universally usdesirable. His interests are not real party issues; his continued well-being is not a matter over which other elements should fight. So the colored American is being driven into a position of political helplessness. One party is willing to take his votes as a certain asset, and give him only comedy consideration; the other party is not particular about having him at all. Local party leaders have learned to follow this wider national spirit, and in spite of the colored man's numerical voting strength he is never conceded a place in party councils or given adequate consideration in party honors. To us this course seems calculated to drive the colored mas out of politics or else into strange political camps. This result may not be reached suddenly, but all natural tendencies point to its ultimate realization. Protesting seems to be a lonesome and useless business, and the outlook is gloomy unless, some day, the army of undesirables shall grow large and strong and wise enough to end the sway of class separationists and political dictators. Bust the Trusts By MILTON DWIGHT PURDY Assistant to Attorney General of the United States. The suggestion that receivers be appointed for lawbreaking corporations was the outcome of a discussion I had with another law officer of the government. We were talking about economic conditions in the United States, and it was said that a single individual or a company of immensely wealthy men might eventually get control of nearly every sort of business unless means were taken to check and regulate the monopolistic tendency of the time. What could be done, we asked, if it were shown in court A. H. that a certain corporation, by its ownership of raw materials, machinery, etc., absolutely governed domestic markets in the way of prices and the supply of its particular product? Its operations would be in restraint of trade and unmistakably illegal. What action, then, should the court take? Would it do to shut all the mills or factories of the monopoly? Perhaps a court would have the power to do so, monopoly existing, but if the offending corporation owned packing houses the people would suffer for want of meat. If it owned mills and elevators the people would be deprived of flour. In either event the monopoly would be punished by being prohibited from doing business, but the public would be greatly inconvenienced and distressed and general business much disturbed. Obviously, some other course would be better. Why not, we argue, appoint a receiver? Nothing then need be closed. The monopoly would be operated as usual, but under the temporary direction of an officer of the United States court until the business could be adjusted in harmony with law. The people would not be deprived of meat or flour and confusion would not result to other kinds of business. In the meantime monopoly as a whole could be broken up generally. The mills in New England, in the south and on the Pacific coast could be sold to separate independent companies. Those in the central west could be finally handed back to the beaten monopolists, along with the money received from the sale of the constituent establishments. Competition would be restored, prices would be normal and a dangerous situation would be ended. The receivership suggestion has been misrepresented and called revolutionary, but it is sound and feasible when confined to monopolies alone. The Nation's Supreme Asset By REV. WILLIAM GARDAM. Detroit. England to-day is an example of what industrialism will always do to its own civilization when unchecked and unbridled by the restraint of wholesome legislation for the child. The physical decadence of modern England, which is no mere fear of an excessively critical and fearful modernism, but a painful fact, a fact that discounts all that modern England aims to do for herself or for the world; it is all the fruit, and the nemesis too, of the cruel greed and shortsightedness of industrial England. She was before us in the industrial world two generations or more, and the English cotton weaver, woolen weaver, silk weaver, carpet weaver, the English iron and steel worker, the potter and the miner, worked for the world. And what did England do, what has she done until very recent days? She has flung her child into her own cruel, grinding industrial world for three generations without education, without physical fitness, underfed, unwholesomely housed, pinched, dwarfed, stunted, anaemic, and this child has produced after his kind. And we to-day are facing just this danger of robbing the child by the pushing, crowding greed of our growing industrialism. Industrialism holds the child cheap and always will. There is no soul in it. It has the spirit of the Egyptian taskmasters and would make the modern child make brick without straw. A child sent to the real business of life denied these will fail to accomplish its destiny, and will turn on the civilization that so robs it, and will become its nemesis. Science tells us that the physical universe is one, that life is one, and that man is the highest product, if not the end toward which creation has looked from the beginning. To find the meaning of the universe as interpreted by science, then, we must look into the mind and heart of man, who is creation's flower. What kind of a being is this which the ages have produced? It does not seem too much to say that love is the great inspiring impulse of all nature. If the theory of evolution is true, then it must be true, also, that spiritual life has evolved side by side with animal life. The emotions have become purer and more altruistic as the physical type has become stronger and more perfect. Through the gate of motherhood has come that sense of brotherhood which is the crown of modern civilization. And this love of man has grown out of nature just as a flower grows upon a plant. The law which has brought it is one with the law of life. Older, then, than the history of religion in the world is the law of righteousness in the soul. The justice which the ten commandments demand is written in the constitution of man. Without Appoint Receivers For Illegal Corporations A nation's supreme asset is in the children. The child is not only the father of the man but also the father of the nation that is to be. The people who have the largest care for the child, make the most generous provision for its welfare, for its development, both as to body and mind and heart, are necessarily making for themselves the largest provision for their own effective and successful future, and are laying the firmest foundations on which to build with the "gold, silver and precious stones" that shall give splendor and glory to the structure that is to be.

Fifty years ago two young farmers named Marsh were cutting grain near DeKalb, Ill. ‘They were too intelligent —too American—to be fond of work for work's sake. And of all their drudgery, the everlasting stooping over bundles to bind them into sheaves galled them most. Such back- breaking toil, they thought, might be well enough for kangaroos, but it cer- tainly was not suitable for an erect biped, like man, says Herbert M. Cas- son, in Everybody's. “If I didn’t have to walk from bundle to bundle, and hump myself like a horeshoe, I could do twice as much work,” said one of the brothers. “Well,” said the other, “why can’t we fix a platform on the reaper, and have the grain carried up to us?” | It was a brilliant idea and a new one. Neither of the young fellows had ever seen a reaper factory; but they were handy and self-reliant. By the next autumn they were in the fleld with thelr new machine, and as they had expected, they bound the grain twice as quickly ax they had the vear before. So was born the famous Marsh har- vester, which proved to be the half- way mark in the evolution of the grain- reaping machine. It was the child of the reaper and the parent of the self- binder. It cut in two the cost of bind ‘ng grain. But it did more than this —it gave the farmer his first chance to stand erect, and forced him to be quick, for the two men who stood on the harvester were compelled to bind the grain as fast as {t was cut. Thus It introduced the factory system, one might say, into the harvest field. For the first time the Big Marsh made its appearance on the farm. The Old Dogma and the New. The Yale graduate whose diploma dates back to the early ‘70s has seen since then changes in the religious life, functions and spirit of the unl. versity that would have amazed col- lege ancestors of the Puritan creed. He has seen the clerical unity of the corporation give place to a non-cler- leal majority; a university president not a clergyman break the clerical succession of well nigh 200 years; the old Congregational divinity school, with such a roster as Taylor, Bacon and Dwight, proclaim non-sectarlan- ism; the college graduating each year more Episcopalians than Congrega- tlonalists; Sunday services shifted to Woolsey hall with sermons by preach- ers of diverse creeds; and such minor loosing of the stern old regimen of orthodoxy as the extinction of Sunday chapel and of the afternoon Sunday service. Another advance step in ra- tional liberality is now made with the Sunday opening of the art school col- lections and of Peabody museum to the public. To the young of the pres- ent New England generation the in- cident may seem trivial. It in fact, while small in itself, is another sign of that transition from old dogma to the new humanity.—Yale Alumni Weekly.

DESCRIBES HIS PLAN QUOTES STATISTICS OF OTHER COUNTRIES AND ENLARGES ON VALUE TO THE PEOPLE. Washington. — Senator Guggenheim has been making careful inquiry into the proposed plan of establishing government postal savings banks. In the course of his investigation Senator Guggenheim called upon Postmaster General Meyer for a brief statement of his views upon the proposed legislation and in response recently received the following: "My Dear Senator—I am presenting for your consideration the proposition for the establishment of postal savings banks. "In foreign countries such banks have been in satisfactory operation for many years. In illustration of the extent to which they are availed of by the people, and their growing popularity, the following table based upon a message from the President to the House of Representatives (Fifty-ninth Congress, second session) has been compiled: GREAT BRITAIN.

(2) The providing of a place entirely above suspicion for the deposit of funds. (3) The bringing into circulation of vast sums of money now hoarded here or sent out of the country by foreigners. "While there are many communities in the eastern states fortunately situated as to banking facilities, statistics indicate that of the $3,500,000,000 deposited in savings institutions through out the United States, the combined holdings of thirty-five states are but 8 per cent. of the total. There are, therefore, great numbers of our people who are practically without banking facilities. Indeed, it is found that in the South the average distance from the postoffice to the nearest savings bank is thirty-three miles; in the states west of the Rockies, fifty-five miles. "There can be no question as to the advisability of encouraging the foreigners within our borders to make such disposition of their savings that some benefit may accrue to the communities in which they are employed. Most of these people come from countries in which postal savings banks have long been established, and they have little confidence in any depository for savings which is not absolutely vouchered for by the government. In the fiscal year ended June 30, 1907, money orders amounting to $74,080,711.06 left this country, in the calendar year 1907, $94,892,716.04, to replenish foreign coffers; and in addition many millions were undoubtedly sent through the agency of banks and express companies. "The rate of interest is variable, not only in different countries, but in different years in the same country, as indicted below: "Great Britain—Interest is allowed on deposits at the rate of 2½ per cent. per annum. No interest is paid on any sum in excess of £200. "France—The rate of interest paid is 2½ per cent. per annum. "Belgium—Interest is paid at the rate of 3 per cent. per annum on Boulder Completes Y. M. C. A. Fund. Denver.—A Boulder dispatch Wednesday night says: There was great jubilation tonight because the $30,000 asked for to complete and furnish the handsome four-story Young Men's Christian Association building here was raised. The campaign started ten days ago and was filled with unusual perplexities. Tonight was the last night and if the total amount had not been raised by 10 o'clock, many of the heavy subscriptions would have been forfeited. At 7 o'clock p. m., when full returns came in, the subscriptions still lacked $1,360 of the full amount. Volunteer subscriptions were then asked for and in less than an hour the deficit had been raised, with $200 more, making a total of $30,200. Whistles then began to blow and all the church and fire bells in town were rung, while many of the Young Men's Christian Association boys paraded the streets and sang and cheered. This means that the building will be thoroughly equipped in all departments and be absolutely free of debt. Enlarged Homesteads Bill. Washington.—The Senate public lands committee Wednesday authorized a favorable report on the enlarged homestead bill framed by a committee of Western congressmen, amending it at the request of Senator Heyburn to except Idaho from its provisions and at the request of Senator Flint to except California. The House committee on public lands completed its hearings on the same bill Wednesday, when Senator Dixon of Montana, Representative Bonynge and Dr. A. V. Cooke, a dry farming expert of Wyoming, argued in favor of the measure. At the conclusion of the hearing the committee voted to report the bill favorably. deposits up to 2,000 francs and 2 per cent. per annum on the excess. "Italy—The interest paid has averaged under 3 per cent. No interest is paid on any sum in excess of 2,000 lire, and the rate is determined each year by the minister of finance. "Canada—The rate of interest is 3 per cent. per annum. "Japan—Since the postal savings bank system was established in 1875, the lowest rate of interest paid was 3.1 per cent per annum, and the highest rate 7.2 per cent per annum. The present rate is 5.04 per cent. per annum. The average amount of deposits allowed to each depositor is 1,000 yen, about $498." "The rate of interest which the department has recommended, 2 per cent. per annum, is evidence that it is not the intention to go into the banking business or to compete with existing savings institutions which pay, in a great many instances, 4 per cent. per annum. On the contrary, it is proposed to re-deposit the money which is brought to the postoffices in national banks in the locality where it is first received, thus making it immediately available for the financial and business transactions of the community to which it properly belongs. "The character of the immigration to this country is undergoing a rapid and significant change. This is a subject for serious consideration, and one which has important bearing on the matter under discussion. "The expense to the government in connection with the operation of postal savings banks would not be great. In Canada, where $465,000,000 have been received and returned to depositors in the last thirty-nine years, and where at present about $50,000,000 are on deposit, the total expense to the central establishment at Toronto is given as $60,000 annually. Outside of that city the work incident to the system is included in the duties of regular postal employees. In the United States the work could be performed in money order offices by the clerks handling such orders, and it is not believed that additional employees would be needed in any of the offices. "The system proposed contemplates the daily reporting deposits to the postmaster general, who would acknowledge receipt directly to the patrons. The maximum amount which would be received from any individual is placed at $500. Postal savings deposits would not be liable to demand, seizure, or detention under legal processes against the depositor. "As the Postoffice Department (government) is a preferred creditor it would not demand collateral from the banks in the way of bonds. There would be the safeguard of the comptroller of the currency reporting regularly on the standing of the banks that are used as depositories, and the double liability of the stockholders of the national banks would be an additional assurance of the security of the deposits. "The claim is made that instead of injuring present financial institutions it would be a great benefit and would strengthen their position. Any depositor who at present has dealings with a savings bank, and is getting 4 per cent interest, would not take his deposit away and thereby reduce his income one-half to place it in the post-office. The individual who opens an account with a national or state bank or trust company has the advantage of a check book, enabling him to pay his bills in a convenient manner and to have his paper and that of his customers or clients discounted. None of these advantages accrues to a depositor in the postal savings bank. Again, when the depositors had accumulated money to the amount of $200 or $300 they would in all probably withdraw it and place it in a savings bank where they could obtain much larger returns. Furthermore, in times of nervous fright, such a have existed in the past it would be a benefit to banking institutions (should the depositors place it with the postal savings bank instead of withdrawing it for the purpose of putting it into hiding), as it would be deposited immediately with the local national bank, thus strengthening that institution and the community with new money. "Individuals frequently call at post-offices and ask to have their money taken care of by the postmasters. If in such cases money orders are not purchased the money usually goes into hiding, losing its usefulness to the community. Indians at White House. Washington.-Senator Warren, accompanied Agent H. E. Wadsworth and eight Shoshone and Arapahoe Indians from the Wind River reservation to the White House Wednesday, introduced them to President Roosevelt and later took them to call upon Secretary Taft. The Indians lost their accustomed stolldity immediately after meeting the President and exhibited the liveliest interest, for he commenced talking to them in the sign language of their respective tribes, which he learned while on hunting trips in their country in his Western cattle raising days. Little Wolf, an Apache chief, gave the President an elaborate tobacco pouch made of porcupine quills and beads and a handsome Indian pipe. In return he was presented with a large photograph of the President, with these words written across it by the President himself: "To Little Wolf, with the thanks of President Roosevelt." While pleased with Roosevelt, they were more pleased with Secretary Taft, admiring his size and designating him as a "very big war chief." Beer Foam Causes Tragedy. Trinidad, Colo.—While attempting, it is claimed, to prevent James Bissick, a bartender in a saloon at Bowen, from shooting a stranger because the latter had objected to the amount of foam in a glass of beer, Edward James was late Saturday night shot in the left breast just above the heart, the bullet ranging downward and causing death five hours later. Immediately after the shooting Bissick was arrested, taken before a justice of the peace and released on $500 bonds. When Bissick learned that James had died, he came to Trinidad and surrendered himself to the sheriff. A. H. The Denver Bar 1008 FIFTEENTH ST Phone Main 6692 The Enterpris Fine Wines, Lic M.

MUSIC STUDENTS Should Have Steady Nerves. ‘The nervous system of the musician 4s often very sensitive and any habit like coffee drinking may so upset the nerves as to make regular and neces- sary daily practise next to impossible. “I practise from seven to eight hours a day and study Harmony two hours,” writes a Mich. music student. “Last September I was so nervous I could only practise a few minutes at a time, and mother said I would have to drop my music for a year. “This was terribly discouraging as I couldn't bear the thought of losing a whole year of study. Becoming con- vinced that my nervousness was caused largely by coffee, and seeing Postum so highly spoken of, I de- cided I would test it for a while. “Mother followed the directions carefully and I thought I had never tasted such a delicious drink. We drank Postum every morning instead of coffee, and by November I felt more like myself than for years, and was ready to resume my music. “I now practise as usual, do my studying and when my day's work is finished I am not any more nervous than when I began. “I cannot too highly recommend Postum to musicians who practise halt aday. My father is a physician and recommends Postum to his ‘patients.

Columbus.—Born in the house of his great-great-grandfather and rocked in the cradle that lulled his great-great- xrandfather to sleep away back in old Connecticut before the beginning of the last century, is the patrician be- binning of wee Edward Griswold Me- Cullough, who made his appearance on earth recently in the old Griswold bmn at Worthington. He is the son of Vdward Miles McCullough and Harriet Guiswold McCullough. In all the romance of old Worthing- ‘ton there is no greater halo than that which hangs over the Griswold inn. It was built in 1808 by Ezra Griswold, who came from Connecticut with the | pioneers who settled much of the west: ern reserve and central Ohio. | ‘The family was an old one even for old Connecticut, and Ezra Griswold “was a sturdy representative of it, He “brought his family into the “great | west” with him, and his son, George Griswold, was reared in the inn. Ie was eight years old when his father [brought him to Ohio. | George Griswold, in turn, inherited |the duty of perpetuating the name, | and when his father died he fell heir | to the inn property and lived through: |ont his life where his father had | builded so well. His son was Worth: ington Franklin Griswold, who, as his father had done, inherited the inn and lived in it. To him and his good wife was born | a daughter Harriet, who was reared in | the old home of the family, and who | continued to live there when she be- | came Mrs. McCullough. | Now she is the happy mother of a | 02. and she is rocking him in the Griswold cradle that was brought to | Ohio along with other household pos sessions, by Ezra Griswold when he | drove his ox team overland from Con: necticut in 1806, | No one knows how long the unique [heirloom had been in the Griswold | family before that time, but it is sup: | posed that Ezra Griswold was himsel! | rocked in it when he was a babe long before revolutionary times. | When little Edward Griswold McCut | ough is baptized, he will wear a itt white dress that was made for the bap: tismal ceremony of his grandfather, by his great-grandmother—a dress that has been handed down in the family with great care, and which will be treasured more dearly than ever when another epoch has been noted inv¥ie history. <0 MUST WIN CHILD'S LOVE. Unusual Conditions in Placing Girl in the Custody of Father. Los Angeles, Cal—By one of tho strangest decisions ever made here, Jacob Schilb of Minneapolis has ob- tained custody of his daughter Mil dred, ten years old, whom he had sought for seven years from the At lantie to the Pacific, and recently found at the home of the girl's moth: er, his former wife, who is now mar ried to another. Singular conditions attach to the award, Judge Monroe stipulating that Schilb must make his home in Los Angeles, place the often-kidnapped child in the custody of another wom: an and win the affection of little Mildred before he may actually have her in his keeping. And he must also permit the mother to visit the child Schilb, who also married again after the divorce from his first wife, de- clares he is glad to comply with the conditions.

Animal Brings Good Price When Put Up at Auction. _ Halifax, Pa—There was a_ vast ‘crowd present at the sale on the Wal- ‘dort Story farm last week, attracted, ‘no doubt, by the fact that Mr. Story’s famous two-tailed cow was put up at auction. Bidding on this animal was most spirited, the cow being run up to $74 and being purchased by Baron yon Thiessen, a Danish breeder. | Aside from being a freak of nature, this cow had several other unusual points. It was said by the owner that during the summer months, when the other cows were worried by flies and in consequence gave but little milk, the double-talled cow maintained her average. Ordinarily, when a cow swishes her tail around on one side the flies assem: ble on the opposite side. ‘This cow was able to swish on both sides at the same time, and this so confused the pests that they quit annoying her.

PROPER THING IN DRESS THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY It is already a question as to whether the loose coat or the tight coat, the long coat or the short coat will be the proper thing, and to these questions a "yes and no" answer can be returned. I realize that on the whole the long coat, at least that which reaches to the knees, is to be allowed a considerable vogue in the early spring, and that it is supplied with a waistcoat of a contrasting color, and in some instances to be worn over a skirt which matches with that waistcoat. An admirable example has the skirt of biscuit-colored cloth, and a waistcoat also of biscuit color buttoned with gold, while the coat is of a dull shade of pale green fastened with very large gilt buttons, and tied at the neck with black glace silk ends, which certainly give a most distinctive note. direct contrast to the mush shape, which under the gulse, should say diguise, of the bell-s has been masquerading for our figurement now for some 12 months. The hat which turns up at one is trimmed, under its most exe conditions, with tripe ostrichers spread widely over the c More frugal examples show velv ribbon, and fanciful quills. All crowns are considerably higher they have been for some two sea and those which are not deco with feathers or flowers will a large flopping wing on either. This latter plain style looks par larly well when the straw of crown is of the thatch order, an straw of the brim is of a very fine scription. It is some time ago now since we had the fancy for skirts which differed materially from their coats, and I would hall the revival with much enthusiasm, so that each woman always takes great care to cut the length of that coat to the measure of her individual figure. Short women may wear long coats if not too long, and always supposing the women are not too short, not abnormally short, I mean. The short coats are some of them belted and with basques, but more show a predilection towards the kimono outline. The sleeves of many are cut in one with the shoulders, and a pretty notion is to have a plain cloth skirt and a little coat of finely striped velvet. A blue skirt finds itself well completed with a coat of striped black and blue, black satin forming the waistcoat, while the hat which crowns this costume is of blue straw covered with cornflowers, with a single crimson rose at one side. The latest form of straw looks like thatch, and it is, indeed, called thatch straw. A notable feature of the millinery of the moment is that it turns up at one side, this in THE COIFFURE Never within the memory of this generation has so much attention been paid to the coiffure as at present. Ten or 15 years ago the dressing of the hair was a simple matter, the style more or less following the shape of the head and the finishing touch being given by the traditional five diamond stars or tiara. Those who did not possess hair was a simple matter, the style more or less following the shape of the head and the finishing touch being given by the traditional five diamond stars or tiara. Those who did not possess diamond ornaments for the hair usually wore nothing on their heads of an evening, until some pioneer spirits began to wear a feather or two or a tiny wreath of leaves, or something else equally unobtrusive by way of decoration. A small, neat head was then the fashion, and very dainty indeed and very high-bred was the effect of a beautifully-dressed head kept in proportion to the rest of the figure. Now we have changed all that. The coiffure illustrated above shows a style which would go well with the dresses draped in classic fashion which are so fashionable at present both in London and Paris. The hair is dressed quite low and flat in front on the top of the head, the back part being drawn up and twisted in an outstanding knot, such as one sees on Greek statues, the Grecian effect being emphasized by two bands of green enamel leaves and golden acorns laid across the top of the head among the waves of hair. The effect is charming, for the beautiful lines of the head and neck are not hidden, while the hair is shown in its natural beauty. The second picture is a coiffure which would emphasize the effect of direct contrast to the mushroom shape, which under the gulse, or I should say diguise, of the bell-shape, has been masquerading for our disfigurement now for some 12 months. The hat which turns up at one side is trimmed, under its most expensive conditions, with tripe ostrich feathers spread widely over the crown. More frugal examples show velvet or ribbon, and fanciful quills. All the crowns are considerably higher than they have been for some two seasons, and those which are not decorated with feathers or flowers will show a large flopping wing on either side. This latter plain style looks particularly well when the straw of the crown is of the thatch order, and the straw of the brim is of a very fine description. Artificial flowers bloom in great profusion, and every season seems to see them in greater perfection. The roses are more lovely than ever this year, muslin, silk and velvet alike being used for their advantage. In our illustration is seen the latest fashionable union between a colored skirt and a black coat, the color in this case being a deep wine red, while the black face cloth of the coat introduces the further contrast of long waistcoat fronts of blue gray cloth, embroidered in several soft shadings. Of course, the same scheme can be carried out in any desired colors, or if preferred, the skirt can repeat the color of the coat, and merely introduce a different shade. In the other costume is seen a more abbreviated and charmingly curved coat, which is united to a gracefully hanging plaited skirt and is carried out in fawn cloth, and is itself adorned with black velvet, pale blue cloth, braidings of black and gold and blue, and enamel buttons to repeat this pretty blending of colors, the waist-coat being of the pale blue cloth with a decorative edging of braid. an empire evening dress, without being too aggressively "of the period." The hair is turned off the forehead rather high and full and arranged in rolls and curls at the back, while the empire note is given by the turbanlike effect of the scarf of tulle caught with two curling os- The hair is turned off the forehead rather high and full and arranged in rolls and curls at the back, while the empire note is given by the turbanlike effect of the scarf of tulle caught with two curling ostrich tips at one side. This is a very favorite form of collure in Paris at present, where the empire style, especially for evening wear, is in as high favor as ever. The fashion is to have the turban and feathers in the hair of the same color as the scarf of mousseline de sole, which, in turn, must be of a contrasting tint to that of the dress. The third coiffure is one that would be suitable to a young girl, which the empire turban would certainly not be. The hair is dressed high in a mass of little rolled curls, which remind one of Tennyson's charming line in "Maud:" "Shine out, little head running over with curls," and which is one of the prettiest ways of dressing a debutante's hair. The coifure is encircled by a band of pearls with a large round ornament at either side, from one of which spring a couple of large pointed leaves in silver gauze outlined with pearls. It is a deliciously fresh and dainty form of hair ornament, and would give a delightful finish to a dress of white tulle powdered with pearls, over a fourreast, of silver tissue and white satin.

Kid Showed His Father a Little Part of His Rough Side When the Dentist Got Busy with His Teeth. Halligan is the father of three boys, but he learned something new about them the other day. "It was this way," he said. "I wasn't working and Mary, who is my wife, asked me if I wouldn't take Bobby 'round to the dentist's and have a tooth pulled. 'It's been troubling the poor little fellow dreadfully,' she said, 'and I'm afraid it will have to come out.' "I hated to do it, for I knew what was coming for the kid, and as he trotted along beside me, talking away all unconscious of what was before him, I determined to put the extraction off for a few weeks and have the tooth filled again. The dentist settled that right off. "'You say he's over six? Well, I'll tell you. Mrs. Halligan has taken good care of his teeth, and she has had this one doctored twice. I wouldn't do anything more to it, because if you don't have it out there will be trouble." "'You pull it out,' said Bobby. 'Ma said so.' "'That's the talk,' said the dentist, heartily. 'I'll have that fellow out in the wink of an eye and it won't do any more aching.' "Yes," said Bobby, leaning back and smiling confidently. 'When you pull that tooth I'll sing the new song we're learning in school.' "The dentist was fiddling around with his forceps and the stuff he doctors the tooth with. 'Good boy,' he said. 'I'll pull the tooth and you'll sing, and I'll give you a penny. Open wide, now, like a good boy.' "He motioned his assistant over, 'You couldn't hold him,' he said to me, I felt like a criminal. There was that poor little boy all unconscious of what he was up against—it was all just like acquiring experience, and I wasn't able to help him. The dentist got a grip on the tooth, a convulsion of pain passed over Bobby's face. There was a muffled yell and the little arms went up to ward off the one causing the agony. But fate, in the form of the dentist's assistant, grabbed the arms and held the little boy, and the whole thing had to be gone through and experience had to be gained. It took only the fraction of a minute, but I tell you it hurt me. "Then—well, then Bobby showed me a new side of his character and proved to me I was not keeping pace with my son's education. He let a yell out of him and promptly and with a fair degree of fluency swore at the dentist, finishing off with: "I don't like you any more! And I won't sing for you! And you can keep your penny!" "The dentist laughed and wiped his forceps. "When I got home I told Mary all about it. She nodded. "I know how it is,' she said. "I never felt so bad for Bobby in all my life,' I continued. "I knew how he would be hurt, and there I was, unable to help him." "The hurt isn't anything," she said in such a cool, matter-of-fact way that I was shocked. "It is all over in a second. But when I took the other boys to have their first tooth pulled I cried as soon as I could get a chance, for the pulling of the first tooth is a pretty good sign of the passing of the most beautiful period of childhood." "I guess that's about right. Anyway, I'm going to find out where that boy of mine is learning to swear." Invisible Chess. "I take your third pawn" "My queen forward to—" "Excuse me, gents," the drummer in the corner interrupted, "but you've been sitting opposite each other ever since the train started talking about checks and knights, castles and kings, as if you were playing a game of chess." "Well, my friend, we are playing a game of chess," said the man in gray. "But where's your board? Where are your men?" "An expert chess player," the man in gray replied, "needs neither men nor board. He carries the whole game in his head. In his mind's eye he sees the board and men quite as clearly as though they were really there. "My friend and I are commuters, and we play chess daily as we ride to and from our work. But we use no visible men, no visible board. Have we not memories?" Must Keep in Style.

"I trust not, madam." "Are you sure he will recover?" "I should not like to commit myself to that extent, madam." "But when you can let me know whether or not to order mourning?"—Houston Pest.
