THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY PATRIOTISM Defined in all its Spheres by one of Denver's Most Intelligent Young Men. He says Patriotism may in Many Respects be Likened unto Christianity. VOL. XIV, According to our best authority patriotism is the love which one has for his country; the passion which aims to serve ones country either in defending it from invasion or protecting its rights and maintaining its laws in vigor and purity. Patriotism may in many respects be likened unto Christianity in that it covers so much ground and that there are so few who may really be called patriotic from all standpoints. A word of cheer and a pleasant smile here, little deeds of kindness there and a willingness at all times to make great sacrifices for mankind and the kingdom are truly characteristic of the Christian life whereas the patriotic citizen is characterized by his motives and his efforts to make good citizens out of the bad, by training the youth along right lines and by being ever ready to answer his country's call whether this call be to arms at the sacrifice of home and family and possibly life or whether it be a call in some civil pursuit with a sacrifice of large income. It is the object of the Christian to bring about the melinium, it is the object of the patriot to bring to reality the Utopia. There are two principal ways in which one may show his patriotism. The first is by defending it against invasion and putting down rebellion. When a foreign country insults the American flag, congress if not in session hastily assembles at the call of the president and demands through an ultimatum a retraction of the insult and if this ultimatum is not complied with, war is declared and the news is flashed over the country like lightning and a million men spring up as one man and offer their services to save their country's honor. They march to the battlefield and freely give their blood and life. Greater patriotism hath no man than this that he lay down his life for his country may well be said of those who sacrifice their lives for the flag, but that is not all of patriotism for equally as patriotic is the man who shows his patriotism in the second principal way, by maintaining the constitution and assissting in enforcing the law. There is no country on the face of the earth with as good and great a constitution or with better laws than the United States of America and there is no country on the face of the earth whose constitution and laws are violated like they are in America. The great trouble with American patriotism is that it is so one-sided that the enemy who insults the flag is shot down while the laws are allowed to slump and be trampled upon without the least emotion. If the majesty of the law is once instilled in the great American mind, the people will then rise enmasse to defend the law as they do the flag and such things as corporations rule the lynching bee and the stake will be things of the past. The most striking example of patriotism we have is the life of Booker T. Washington who never served his country in the capacity of a soldier but by turning the light of intelligence upon the ignorance and superstition of his belated brethren he has done more of a patriotic service than did most of our great warries. The thing that should inspire patriotism is the justice of a country's laws and its fair dealing with its common citizenship. The peculiar thing about America is that the element of its citizenship, the exact name of which has never been determined but possibly you will know who I mean when I say, it is the element to whom the flag gives the least protection but which sings "My Country 'tis of Thee" the most and the loudest in its churches and convention halls and always manage to get into the thickest of the fight in war time and fight the most furious. This element has been conspicuous in every American war, it was conspicuous under Jackson at New Orleans; in the days that tried men's souls, the days of the bloody civil strife he was none of the less conspicuous and how this same element fought like demons of San Juan and won the day, will ring down through the ages; it is still giving its blood and life in the Phillipines—for what? For the flag that gives it the least protection. When the squalid conditions are viewed and the associated press depicts in big red headlines the heinous crimes committed by some burly member of this element the question is sometimes asked if the boys of '63 who wore the blue did not die in vain. When I look at the onward march of prejudice, the unfair play at the supposed bar of justice. When I look at the nations naval academy where no black face can enter, and at the military academy where few of our people have entered and still fewer are likely to DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MAY 23, 1908. enter, I feel like asking if most of our blood sacrificed on the alter of liberty has not been in vain. We have built up a great reputation as a fighting people and the result has been far short of what it should be. Now, don't you think it time for us to build up our reputation as law abiding citizens and see if the result wont be different. I should deem it advisable to be less patriotic as a soldier since we come under the law of American citizenship but it is absolutely necessary that we improve on our obedience to the law. A MISTAKEN NOTION ABOUT THE NEGRO. When the average European or American white man thinks or writes of the Negroes he considers them as one race and attributes to them certain traits which are supposed to be equally common to all groups and localities. This is a mistaken view and may be likened to an attempt to class all the Aryan peoples as a homogeneous race, having common features and traits. In fact, the Negroes of the world, just as the Aryans, are scattered over a great area, live in different environments, and have varied and opposite mental and physical peculiarities. Indeed, the Negro races of the world differ from each other even more widely than the different branches of the Aryan stock. In Africa, for ex- * H. H. ALBION K!

They also differ more than the Aryan races in general appearance, in statue, physiognomy, and mental and moral constitution. Thence, to speak of all Negroes in Africa as one race, having common characteristics, is as misleading and as unscientific as if we should consider all Europeans and Americans as one race and attribute to all of them the same traits.—Southern Workman. Retuctance on the part of Senators to go a vote on the Brownsville affair can be interpreted only as a deplorable exposition of both moral and political cowardice. There is no longer ground for support of the President's assertion that "many of these non-commissioned officers and men must have known, and all of them may have known, circumstances which would have led to the conviction of those engaged in the murderous assault," or for his assertion that "some of the non-commissioned officers and many of the men have branbed together in a conspiracy to protect the assassins and would be assassins." Even the President's sup A. H. H. the Republican Ticket and who Led Votes. We heartily thank our personal request in voting for Mr. EXPOSITION porters now admit that some of the soldiers, perhaps many and possibly most of them, were not concerned in the affair either as principles or as accessories. The proper view of those who do not aggrie with the conclusions of Mr. Foraker and Mr. Bulkeley was exceedingly well expressed by Senator Fulton: "While I became satisfied beyond any question in my own mind that this shooting was done by some few members of this organization, yet there is absolutely no proof whatever of the identification of any individual, and I cannot bring my mind to concent to the proposition that because some few may have been guilty that all of these members who were unquestionably innocent should be made to suffer. Nor do I believe that the burden of proof should be put on them. This is repugnent to all of the laws which we have looked upon as necessary for the protection of individual rights and liberty of the individual. I think that where they purge themselves by making a proper affidavit, disclaiming any connection with the affruy, they should be allowed to re-inlist." This is precisely the substance of the Foraker bill for the reinstatement of the soldiers and the correction of their records. That bill carries a provision that if at any time after re-enlistment any evidence be offered indicating the guilt of any of them nothing in the restoring act should be construed as preventing prosecution and trial under civil law or by court-martial. Such a course might offend Mr. Roosevelt's pride of opinion, and it may seem to some of his supporters and adherents a disagreeable backdown. It is certainly in the line of right and justice, and we hope there is no man in the United States Senate who lacks the courage to act justly or to do what is right. As we see the matter, no Senator can afford to become a party to a crime so offensive as that of punishing innocent men simply because of the utter failure of both civil and military legal machinery to defect the guilty.—New York Sun. FUTURE OF WHITES IN BRITISH SOUTH AFRICA THREATENED Johannesburg, May 9.—London and American newspapers several months ago published an article describing the evil days which had come upon this city through the decline of the mining industry. The article was not popular here. It drew from the mayor of Johannesburg a statistical statement attempting to prove that the depression had been exaggerated; that property maintained its value, and that Johannesburg was going along NO. 35. rather well. Within a few days of the issue of his letter the mayor found that it had had the effect of attracting to the Rand out-of-works from other parts of the sub-continent, and he promptly declared that there was no work here for newcomers. And a few weeks ago he called a town's meeting to consider what could be done to find employment for Johannesburg's poor white people, who are variously estimated to number between 5,000 and 12,000 people. The measures suggested in the majority report of the Transvaal mining industry commission if adopted, would go a long way toward remedying the evils from which the Gold Reef city is now suffering, but, unfortunately, they have been ignored or interpreted in such a way as to nullify them. The commission boldy tackles the problem, which is the gravest of all South Africa's problems—the future of the white race in the subcontinent. The curse of South Africa is the past, and its gravest danger in the future is the policy of relying upon colored labor. Two and a half centuries ago the Dutch council at the Cape decided that slave labor was preferable to white labor. It was resolved that the basis of South Africa should be colored labor. That policy has never changed to this day. If the only opening for the white man is that of supervisor of colored labor, then obviously the more colored laborers there are to supervise, the more white men can find billets. Logically, then, there is no objection to Indians or Chinese, or natives from Mozambique or Malaya, or any other part of the globe. Throw the land open to them, and the more there are the more white men will there be. If prosperity means colored labor, then let us have as much colored labor as we can possibly get. But in these conditions the colored man must inevitably encroach upon the skilled labor market. The report of the mining industry commission boldy recommends the adoption of the white labor policy. But it does not, as one would imagine from the perusal of some of the local newspapers, urge that the natives of British South Africa should be prohibited by law from competing with the white laborer. It does not place a premium upon the white man. With the exception of a recommendation that one white man should be employed upon every machine drill in the mines, all that it asks for is fair and open competition, both for the white worker and the native of British South Africa. The commission demands that the premium placed upon the employment of colored men should not be maintained by the state. It declares that the Transvaal ought not to be flooded with indentured labor from other lands while the white population is diminishing and thousands of people are suffering acute privation. It proposes to stop gradually the importation to Portugese natives and to get rid of the native pass law. The effect of these measures would be that the labor supply of British South Africa would have to be drawn from British South Africa, and that the native would be a free laborer like the white man. These steps would admittedly produce a scarcity of native laborers, and thus the white man would be in more demand. Physician and Surgeon ROWS:—10 to 11 a. m. 3 to 5 and 7 to 8 p. m.

Detroit will be the place of meeting for the next annual convention of the National Real Estate exchange. Denver tried for it but couldn't get it. Governor John Sparks of Nevada, who has been in a critical condition for some months, is improving slowly and hopes for his complete recovery are held out. The death of the Most Rev. Peter Bourgade, head of the archdiocese of Santa Fe, may elevate Bishop Matz, ordinary of the Catholic diocese of Denver, to the rank of archbishop. Three earthquake shocks were felt at Helena, Mont., Sunday night. At Marysville dishes were rattled and clocks were made to strike by the disturbance. No damage was done. The appellate court of Illinois affirmed the decision of the lower court in declaring that the mayor of Chicago cannot be forced to close the saloons on Sunday in conformity with the statute.

Both men formerly worked as waiters at some hotel in Chicago, but all trace of them has been lost. In deciding the case of the Galveston & San Antonio Railway Company vs. the State of Texas; involving taxes on that and Texas roads, the Supreme Court Monday held to be unconstitutional the Texas law of 1905, fixing the tax rates on railroads equal to one per cent. of their gross earnings when they lie wholly within the state, and a proportionate sum where they lie partly within the state. GENERAL NEWS The Pittsburg & Lake Erie railroad has ordered the construction of 2,000 all-steel coke and gondola cars for that road. The Czar of Russia was forty years old on the 19th inst. President Roosevelt cabled his felicitations and good wishes. The United States Court of Appeals at San Francisco has decided that sake, a Japanese liquor, should be classed as wine and not beer.

It is expected that he will embark on the royal yacht at Portsmouth, May 29th, at the conclusion of President Fallierie's visit to London. The International Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers at their annual meeting at Columbus, O., decided to include the countries of South America and Panama in the brotherhood, and a canvass of these countries for membership will be begun at once. Every occupant of two sleeping cars attachel to a train which left Mexico City Saturday for Vera Cruz were held up by two negroes, and at the point of a pistol, relieved of their money and valuables, amounting to about $10,000. Inspector Miles O'Reilly has appointed all the pupils of public school No. 21 in East New York, police sergeants. He has asked them to watch the patrolmen and report any misconduct. The other day O'Reilly dropped into the school and explained his plan. "I want the co-operation of you children to increase the discipline of my men," he said. Mrs. Emily E. Woodiey, who had the distinction, it is said, of being the only woman ever regularly commissioned an officer in the United States army died at Philadelphia a few days ago, aged seventy-three years. For her bravery and heroic services President Lincoln conferred upon her a commission of captain in the army. She was also decorated with a gold medal by Secretary of War Stanton. The recent warning to intending emigrants issued by the ministers of the interior of Hungary that the economic situation in America had not shown sufficient improvement to give prospect of obtaining work, has failed to check the outflow from that country. The minister now announces that immigrants who have gone to the United States since May 1st will not be given the privilege of returning to Hungary gratis. CONGRESS AND THE CAPITAL The Senate adopted the conference report upon the enlarged homestead bill, the committee having modified its report so that the states of Idaho and California will be excluded in accordance with the wishes of senators from those states. Secretary Taft, while in Panama, made an agreement which it is believed if carried into effect will guarantee the absolute integrity of the elections to be held in July. Panama is to appoint an electoral commission to investigate the complaints of all parties and in this the United States is to join. The Senate public buildings committee completed consideration of the omnibus public buildings bill. In addition to providing for the Denver building, the committee added $15,000 for enlarging the Colorado Springs building and $10,000 for Trinidad. The committee cut from the House bill the item of $10,000 for a site at Grand Junction and reduced the House item of $130,000 for a site and building at Roswell, New Mexico, to $100,000. The conference committee on the sundry civil appropriation bill agreed to retain in the bill the provision giving Wyoming and Idaho each an additional million acres of land under the Carey desert land act, but declined to grant the increase to Colorado. As an independent measure has passed the Senate and House giving Idaho an additional million acres, the action of the conference committee, if sustained, will result in granting 2,000,000 acres to Idaho. Mr. Newlands of Nevada introduced a bill for the appointment of a national commission for the conservation of natural resources and defining its duties. The president is authorized by the bill to appoint a committee of fifteen members for the investigation of all questions relating to the conservation, use and control of the resources of the United States fo: navigation, irrigation and municipal supply, prevention of flood prevention of waste in mining, etc. The commission is to report to Congress annually. The appropriation for the forest service to be expended for the construction and maintenance of roads, trails, bridges, fire lines, telephone lines, cabins, fences and other permanent improvements was limited by the conference committee to $600,000, the amount fixed by the House. The Senate provision that twenty-five per cent. of the money received each year from forest reserves shall be paid to the states and territories in which reserves are located, was retained. The Senate provision directed against the establishment of a publication division also remains in the bill. By unanimous consent the House passed the bill appropriating $1,500,000 for participation by the United States in the international exposition to be held in Tokio, Japan, in 1912. The bill has passed the Senate and now lacks only the president's signature to make it a law. That President Roosevelt has authorized no one to speak for him regarding the anti-race gambling legislation pending at Albany, was the only comment obtainable at the White House regarding the report from Albany that the President had privately expressed himself on that subject.

WILL DEFEND WATER PROJECT CONTENDS FOR RIGHT TO BUILD RESERVOIR AND POWER PLANT ON TAYLOR RIVER. PLANS FOR BIG DAM Denver,—Albert B. Sanford, assayer, has gone to Washington, D. C., to try to convince the government that it has no right, by a department ruling, to interfere with the operation of a state law. Mr. Sanford is to appear before Secretary of the Interior Garfield. "I am going to fight for my rights," said Mr. Sanford. "Three years ago I filed upon land for the building of a reservoir and power plant on Taylor river. My reservoir was planned to be large enough to hold 4,500,000,000 cubic feet, which would make it considerable larger than the Cheesman dam. The dam will be 140 feet high. "This reservoir and power plant upon the public land is authorized by federal law. The right to store flood waters and use them in connection with the normal flow of the stream for the development of power is clearly permitted under the laws of Colorado. "My intention is to do just this. I have faithfully followed all of the requirements of the state of Colorado, the rules and regulations of the forestry service and other departmental regulations. There has been no question raised as to my methods of filing." "An engineer decided this project would interfere with the plans of the reclamation service in Uncompahgre valley. "I am certain that if the Taylor river was not in existence, there would be ample water for all uses of the Uncompahgre canal. Eighty per cent. of all the waters flowing by the last portal of the Gunnison tunnel are from tributaries entering the river below the proposed dam site. "I made every effort to demonstrate to the department that my project, if permitted, would result largely to the benefit of the Uncompahgre project, and in no case a detriment. That the extra water which would naturally be required for the production of energy when the stream was low would be drained from the reservoir, and after passing the wheels would be returned to the channel of the stream, and those waters be given to the Uncompahgre project without cost to it or to the government. "I have been satisfied from the start that the right to construct this reservoir has been authorized by federal law, and I leave today to press my case." The site for the proposed reservoir is bounded by the Quartz creek range on the south; the Continental divide or Collegiate range on the east, and the Elk mountains on the north and northwest. The drainage area of the proposed reservoir is over 250 square miles. State University Boulder.—Commencement week at the University of Colorado will begin Friday, May 29th, with a concert. The Phi Beta Kappa exercises will take place Memorial Day, May 31st. President Baker will deliver the baccalaureat address and the annual address before the Christian associations also will be given.

June 2nd there will be a meeting of the board of regents, the class day exercises and parade will take place, the alumni exercises and reception will be held, and the day will close with the senior promenade in the evening. June 3rd at 10:00 o'clock the commencement exercises proper will take place and approximately 135 degrees will be conferred. The annual alumni banquet will follow and the president's reception Wednesday evening will close the week. Summer vacation will begin Friday, June 5th. Fourth of July, Dinner. Greeley, Colo.—A free dinner for everyone July 4th, served by the city of Greeley, will be one of the drawing features of the big celebration. The dinner will be something more than a lunch and it is likely that stockmen will furnish beef and mutton, farmers potatoes and Greeley people pies and cakes. The Driving club is preparing a program and many former cowboys have promised to don their old regalia and, headed by ex-Lieutenant-Governor Brush, appear in the parade. A rumor reached La Junta that because of the dry spring the Rocky Ford sugar beet factory had cancelled all contracts for beets with the farmers, but investigation proves it to be false and that the factory will go ahead as usual. The season will be slightly delayed, owing to the difficulty in getting water. Colorado Springs is going dryer than ever. Scarcity of water has compelled the city council to reduce the hours of sprinkling from four to one. The Golden Cycle mill is said to threaten to shut down its works and leave the place if its water supply is cut off as proposed in the council. In the Western Baseball league Denver keeps well up at the head and Pueblo way down in the rear. A. D. Parker of Denver, first vice president and general manager of the Colorado & Southern, will deliver the commencement address at Colorado college next month. General Demand of the Well-Informed of the World has always been for a simple, pleasant and efficient liquid laxative remedy of known value; a laxative which physicians could sanction for family use because its component parts are known to them to be wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, acceptable to the system and gentle, yet prompt, in action. In supplying that demand with its excellent combination of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, the California Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies on the merits of the laxative for its remarkable success. That is one of many reasons why Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given the preference by the Well-Informed. To get its beneficial effects always buy the genuine—manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents per bottle. MARK TWAIN ON MONEY. Humorist Points Out What He Considerers Some Wrong Conceptions. Mark Twain said that the financial panic has caused a wrong idea of the use and value of money. "The spendthrift says that money, being round, was made to roll. The miser says that, being flat, it was made to stack up. Both are wrong. "Strangely wrong, too, in their ideas about money are the veteran Australian gold diggers. These simple old fellows, though worth perhaps a half million or more, live in the simple dug-outs and shanties of their lean early days. "Once, lecturing, I landed at an Australian port. There was no porter in sight to carry my luggage. Seeing a rough-looking old fellow leaning against a post with his hands in his pockets, I beckoned to him and said: "See here, if you carry these bags up to the hotel I'll give you half a crown." "The man scowled at me. He took three or four gold sovereigns from his pocket, threw them into the sea, scowled at me again, and walked away without a word." HER PROTECTOR. "Here, nurse! Who's that young chap that's always following you around? I he a beau of yours?" "Oh, no, sir. Dat's Jimmie Hawkshaw, de detective. I hires him to protect me from kidnapers an' things!" His Elusive Memory. Employer—William, did that man who called to see me while I was out leave his name? Shaggy-Haired Office Boy—Yes, sir, his name is—is—well, the last part of it is "shaw." Employer—What's the first part of it? Office Boy (making a strenuous effort to recall it)—Well, sir, it's either Grim, or Hawk, or Hen, or Brad, or Fan, or Ker, or Rick, but to save my bloomin' life, Mr. Townsend, I can't remember which. And the Moon Man Laughed. They were jogging along the old road and cupid was so busy that the young man dropped the lines either side of the runabout. It was then that the wise old nag turned lazily around. "What are you looking at?" queried the owl by the roadside. "I am reading between the lines," laughed the old nag as she gave a horse laugh and showed her long yellow teeth. FIT THE GROCER Wife Made the Suggestion. A grocer has excellent opportunity to know the effects of special foods on his customers. A Cleveland grocer has a long list of customers that have been helped in health by leaving off coffee and using Postum Food Coffee. He says, regarding his own experience: "Two years ago I had been drinking coffee, and must say that I was almost wrecked in my nerves. "Particularly in the morning I was so irritable and upset that I could hardly wait until the coffee was served, and then I had no appetite for breakfast, and did not feel like attending to my store duties. "One day my wife suggested that inasmuch as I was selling so much Postum there must be some merit in it and suggested that we try it. I took home a package and she prepared it according to directions. The result was a very happy one. My nervousness gradually disappeared, and today I am all right. I would advise everyone afflicted in any way with nervousness or stomach troubles, to leave off coffee and use Postum Food Coffee." "There's a Reason." Read "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. Ever read the above letter? A new one appears from time to time. They are genuine true, and jull of human interest. F. A. CLAIBER & CO.

ACTION AT LA JUNTA MUST STOP WASTE RAILROAD AND POWER PROJECT PROPOSED $15,000,000 COMPANY TO DEVELOP ARKANSAS VALLEY TOWNS REPRESENTED FROM GARDEN CITY, KAS., TO CANON CITY, COLO. La Junta, Colo.-At a meeting attended by nearly 400 delegates from towns along the Arkansas valley from Garden City, Kansas, to Canon City, Colorado, Thursday, plans were launched for the organization of a $15,000,000 electrical power and railroad company which will connect all the important towns of the valley by an interurban line and will reclaim fully 100,000 acres of arid land. A committee of thirteen was selected, which will meet here in a few days, perfect the organization and take steps to incorporate the company, which will be known as the Kansas Colorado Power & Railroad Company. The principal speaker was A. B. Hulit, representative of the Northern Electrical Manufacturing Company of Madison, Wisconsin, which company proposes to make the surveys, furnish the equipment for the power plants, etc. It is expected that those of the Arkansas valley who will be benefited by the huge project will take a large share of the stock. Resolutions were unantmously adopted strongly indorsing the project. The committee of thirteen appointed to perfect the organization follows: Hon. Alva Adams, Pueblo; Andrew McClellan, Pueblo; S. H. Atwater, Canon City; F. D. Pastorius, Colorado Springs; J. N. Beaty, Manzanola; J. A. Lockhart, Rocky Ford; Robert W. Patterson, La Junta; Donald McIntosh, Las Animas; W. C. Gould, Lamar; A. H. Warner, Garden City, Kansas; Fred Humphreys, Syracuse, Kansas; W. O. Bourne, Scott City, Kansas, and Andrew Russell, Dodge City, Kansas. Indicted In Federal Court. Denver.—The federal grand jury reported to Judge Lewis Thursday returning sixty-five bills of indictment. The report of the grand jury embodies a pertinent opinion rather in the nature of a recommendation, reading as follows: "We believe that it is our duty to call attention to the fact that it is our opinion from an examination of the matters coming before us, that the registers and receivers of land offices and other persons authorized to take proofs in land cases, should exercise more caution and common sense in such matters. Ordinary care, caution and honesty on the part of those officials would, in our opinion, prevent many frauds upon the government, and largely eliminate the most serious class of cases with which we have to deal; viz.—perjury in relation to pubic lands." The Yampa Live Stock Company, a well known Denver corporation, is among thos indicted. The offense alleged is illegal inclosure of land, the property in question is said to be a horse pasture on the company's big ranch in Routt county. The indictment against Franklin Barnes was not unexpected, as he has been involved in several law suits, the government asking damages for cutting timber from public lands. Two suits are now pending in the courts, and this indictment is the criminal end of the matter. Barnes is alleged to have cut 3,000,000 feet of timber from the reserves in San Miguel county, and suits to recover damages to the amount of $75,000 have been instituted. Shepherd Husted, former supervisor of the Medicine Bow national forest, with headquarters at Estes Park, was indicted in connection with Warren Rutledge and John Rausch. Husted was permitted to resign from the government service last fall. The forest service in an examination discovered his connection with the filing of a homestead claim adjoining his property in Estes Park. Husted, with Rutledge, was a witness for Rausch in his proof filings for the location of the claim. The testimony in the case, it is alleged, was proven false. The postal law offenses are those of Postmasters William E. Avery of Empire, Colorado, and Chas. M. Yutz of Jefferson, Colorado. Avery was short $1,900 in his accounts, and his actions are alleged to have indicated peculiarities other than embezzlement. He has been out on bond since his arrest. Yutz fled while Inspector Gregg was making an examination of that office, and has never been heard from since. The indictment against Benca Branca of Pueblo, alleged macquereau, who was arrested on the charge of trafficking in white slaves, may result in a term of imprisonment for the man and the deportation of the young woman who was arrested with him. It is the first case of the kind to come before a grand jury for several years. Charles O. Erbaugh of Denver, who escaped his indictment by the grand fury on account of a technicality, will have to answer the charge of fraudulent use of the mails on a re-indictment in connection with patent cases. Haywood Uses Violent Language. Chicago.—"To hell with the courts! To hell with injunctions!" William D. Haywood, lately on trial for his life, charged with being one of the conspirators who blew former Governor Steunenberg of Idaho to pieces with a dynamite contrivance, expressed his opion of the judiciary of the United States Saturday night at Orchestra hall in the above manner. The occasion was the ratification by the Socialist-Democratic party of the nomination of Debs for President and Hanford for vice-president by the national convention of the party just held here. The large audience applauded him. PASSSED BY GOVERNORS OF THE STATES AT THE WHITE HOUSE CONFERENCE. RECOMMEND ACTION TO PROTECT OUR COUNTRY'S SOIL, WATERS, FORESTS AND MINERALS. Washington.—At the governor's conference at the White House Friday Governor Blanchard of Louisiana, chairman of the committee on resolutions, presented to the conference the report of the committee, as follows: "We, the governors of the states and territories of the United States, in conference assembled, do hereby declare the conviction that the great prosperity of our country rests upon the abundant resources of the land chosen by our forefathers for their homes and where they laid the foundation of this great nation. "Even as each succeeding generation from the birth of the nation has performed its part in promoting the progress and development of the republic, so do we in this generation recognize it as a high duty to perform our part of this duty in large degree in the adoption of measures for the conservation of the natural wealth of the country. "These natural resources include the land on which we live and which yields our food; the living waters which fertilize the soil, supply power, and form great avenues of commerce, the forests, which yield the materials for our homes, prevent erosion of the soil, and conserve the navigation and other uses of our streams; and the minerals, which form the basis of our industrial life and supply us with heat, light and power. "We agree that the land should be so used that erosion and soil wash should cease, that there should be reclamation of arid and semi-arid regions by means of irrigation, and of swamp and over-flowed regions by means of drainage; that the waters should be so conserved and used as to promote navigation to enable the arid regions to be reclaimed by irrigation and to develop power in the interests of the people; that the forests, which regulate our rivers, support our industries and promote the productivity of the soil, should be preserved and perpetuated; that the minerals found so abundantly beneath the surface should be so used as to prolong their utility; that the beauty, healthfulness and habitability of our country should be preserved and increased; that the sources of national wealth exist for the benefit of all the people and that the monopoly thereof should not be tolerated. "We commend the wise forethought of the President in sounding the note of warning as to the waste and exhaustion of the natural resources of the country and signify our appreciation of his action of calling this conference to consider the same; and to seek remedies therefor through co-operation of the nation and the states. "We agree that this co-operation should find expression in suitable action by the Congress within the limits of, and co-extensive with, the national jurisdiction of the subject and complementary thereto, by the legislatures of the several states within the limits of, and co-extensive with their jurisdiction. "We agree in the wisdom of future conferences between the President, members of Congress and the governors of the states regarding the conservatism of our natural resources with the view of continued operation and action on the lines suggested. And to this end we advise that from time to time, as in his judgment may seem wise, the President call the governors of the states, members of Congress and others into conference. "We agree that further action is advisable to ascertain the present condition of our natural resources and to promote the conservation of the same. And to that end we recommend the appointment by each state of a commission on the conservation of natural resources, to co-operate with each other and with any similar commission on behalf of the federal government. "We urge the continuation and extension of forest policies adapted to secure the husbanding and renewal of our diminishing timber supply, the prevention of soil erosion, the protection of head-waters and the maintenance of the purity and navigability of our streams. We recognize that the private ownership of forest lands lends responsibilities to the interest of all the people, and we favor the enactment of laws looking to the protection and replacement of privately owned forests. "We recognize in our waters a most valuable asset of the people of the United States, and we recommend the enactment of laws looking to the conservation of water resources for irrigation, water supply, power and navigation, to the end that navigable and source streams may be brought under complete control and fully utilized for every purpose. "We especially urge on the federal Congress the immediate adoption of a wise, active and thorough waterway policy, providing for the prompt improvement of our streams and conservation of their watersheds required for the uses of commerce and the protection of the interests of our people. "We recommend the enactment of laws looking to the prevention of waste in the mining and extraction of coal, oil, gas and other minerals, with a view to their wise conservation to the use of the people and to the protection of human life in the mines. "Let us conserve the foundations of our prosperity." THE B.L. JAMES M. & M. CO. PAINTS, OILS, VARNISHES, GLASS PAINTING, GRAINING, GLAZING, PAPER MANGING, DECORATING AND MARD WOOD FINISHING.

ELECTION THE election in Denver last Tuesday has proved beyond a doubt that the people manifested their wish by the re-election of Mayor Speer, and notwithstanding the great odds against Mr. Phelps, the Republican candidate, he made a run that was surprising to everybody. The election was quiet and fair, and is thus generally conceded. While the Republicans lost the mayor, they elected the city auditor, treasurer and a number of supervisors and aldermen. We have only the heartiest congratulations for the successful candidates and wish their administration to be one of success. STILL IN THE SADDLE WE did our duty and we are proud of it. The Colorado Political club proved an active force in the campaign, and deserves the full confidence of our party leaders. Now let us turn again to the greater struggle yet to come. The present active, united condition ought to be maintained, and it can be maintained merely by encouraging evidences of appreciation. The high and capable work done by the colored people in the campaign just closed warrant their being kept in close touch with party managers as well as the general party organization. ANOTHER SOCIAL EQUALITY SPASM THE Cosmopolitan Society of Greater New York is an aggregation of intellectually and socially inclined colored people in the metropolis who, evidently, want to accomplish something tangible in the way of changing and improving the present indifferent relations between the white and black races in America. Ostensibly to do honor to a certain visiting colored gentleman of note, but with an apparent second motive, this society gave a dinner or banquet recently, to which it invited a number of the best known white advocates of the theories of universal brotherhood, and these white advocates, male and female, broke bread with their colored brothers ad sisters and made speeches upon certain phases of existing racial and sociological problems. The spirit of human brotherhood and the evils of caste were dwelt upon, and so far as the banqueters were concerned, the occasion seemed a happy one. But the meeting was reported in the daily papers next day, and an account of it was telegraphed all over the county. The New York Journal and other papers of the sensational brand, declared that the white speakers advocated intermarriage of the races as a means of gradually bringing about social equality. Southern newspapers have taken the matter up with all the venom which such an incident might be expected to arouse, and the affair has assumed a greater national importance even than was accorded the famous luncheon given to Booker T. Washington by President Roosevelt at the White House. Northern newspapers are almost unanimous in the coviction that the dinner and the speeches were unwise, while Southern newspapers declare that further distinctive separations of the races will be hastened thereby. We know full well how colored people like to have their ears tickled with tintinnabulating idealties, but we do not believe that one Negro in a thousand has any hope or desire that the social relations of the races will ever be artificially or spontaneously changed. Certain natural changes for the better must ever follow in the path of advancing culture among colored people, but these conditions would be hindered rather than helped by intermarriage or any other scheme or invention of unnatural force. The repelling instinct against the adulteration of blood is just as deep rooted in the Negro as in the white man, though the demoralization of ignorance and unfathomed environment make it more latent in the black man. But Negroes of intelligence, while granting to individuals the right to their own choice and their own personal experiences, do not take kindly in their hearts to the white mates of other Negroes. The ultimate race conviction is just as certain with us as it is now with the whites. The race as a whole wants recognition in the scale of racial equality, and social equality of the individual sort can go hang. IT MEANT SOMETHING. It MEANT much to the colored voters of Denver to be quite unanimously identified with the Republican municipal campaign this year, because of the nature of the issue and the general high character of the citizens with whom we found ourselves associated. We are used to good company in our political associations, for the Republican party always represents a high, cultured and progressive grade of citizenship, but if any element has been eliminated from its ranks in the recent campaign, it has been only a few camp followers, and their loss has been trebly made up by the accretion of better elements from other party ranks. This means that the general character of the party following is of a still higher tone than usual and constitutes a mutual aggregation of the best elements of all the people. It was clearly recognized by the people in general that the moral progress of the community was at stake, and no stronger incentive could have been brought about for the sturdy combination of the most worthy classes of our citizens. To be counted in political and moral harmony with all these people means a higher sense of appreciation of the intellectual discernment and moral desires of the colored people. There are always those in every community who are ever ready to charge moral depravity and civic irresponsibility against the colored element, but such a test of the facts as this campaign afforded will give us stronger claim upon the sympathies of influential and responsible people. The colored man has long since learned that every step of his progress as a citizen has arisen out of the ideas, sympathies and struggles of the better classes, and that no right or privilege of lasting worth has ever been gained on the wrong side of a moral issue. And the colored people, almost without exception, want to see the moral classes, the best classes, the strongest and cleanest elements, in control of city, state and national governments. And it is not conceit or egotism which makes us feel that we are worthy of these associations, but it is the knowledge we have of the struggles and ardent desires of the large majority of our people represented in our industrious, moral and religious elements, which gives us satisfaction over the allignment of our people with the principles that were highest ad best in this campaign. It Appeals Strongly to the Artists of Japan By T. HASEKAWA, Distinguished Artist of Japan To explain about American art is very difficult for me, as I am studying in it at present; therefore it seems to me every year that my admiration for American art is different so that I do not willingly express my opinion of it in public. But I will express a few words from my standpoint. J I am surprised at the progress of American art in the modern centuries. I believe American art will conquer throughout international art in the near future. I have seen many exhibitions in America and every artist's style is different, but his expression of nature or feeling is just the same. On the contrary, Japanese artists in their expression of nature do not express so much as American artists, but their beauty of line surpasses. So their work is nice for decorative art, but it is not good in landscape painting or portrait painting, for much of the Japanese original art lacks perspective or shadowing. Concerning that point I do not continue forever with Japanese art, though many American artists have told me it is better to continue Japanese original art. But in Japanese art, it is impossible to express natural beauty without perspective or shadowing, therefore, we Japanese must take more civilized art, such as American. I believe that this is the foundation of Japanese art in the future. I came to America in order to study natural expression, so I do not pay much attention to brush marks or style, because to express feeling very strongly in their paintings is the principal duty of artists. So rough marks or smooth are not of much account compared to feeling, which most American painters have. I think that every foreigner deeply admires our art and hopes that it will not lose its special excellence and notable features. But since we awakened from our long peaceful dream by the knocking of western civilization, in spite of fearful oppression, we recognized that we were obliged to change our condition politically and socially, and for our art. The fact that Japanese art is far behind the art of America, especially in expressing nature, is a notable feature. Any element which teaches us to make our art improve in some way or another, with preservation of our original strong points, is welcome. That is why so many of our young art students are trying here in this country to suck in the special excellence of western art. I wish to conclude my statement with this, that our people, especially the youth, have the principle of open door to everything, so that they may improve and elevate their conditions. Misfits That Are Not Misfits By George Ethelbert Walsh. The round peg in a square hole or the square peg in a round hole is a concrete illustration to show the impossibility of a misfit making a success in life. Life is full of misfits, of men and women trying to fit in round holes which their angular natures are not suited to. Most of the flotsam and jetsam of our large cities are failures through the early misfit process. The misfit who fails in life is with us always, but the successful misfit is quite another creature. He apparently breaks all the laws of business and professional The round peg in a square hole or the square peg in a round hole is a concrete illustration to show the impossibility of a misfit making a success in life. Life is full of misfits, of men and women trying to fit in round holes which their angular natures are not suited to. Most of the flotsam and jetsam of our large cities are failures through the early misfit process. The misfit who fails in life is with us always, but the successful misfit is quite another creature. He apparently breaks all the laws of business and professional life. He does not succeed, however by wearing the square peg round to fit the circular hole in which he finds himself early in life, but he wriggles out of the hole and finds another one more suited to his angularity. Such men, we might say, would succeed anywhere, but their success, so far as we can see, was due to their ability to adjust themselves to conditions that suited them. As a misfit Edison early discovered the necessity of climbing out of successive holes which circumstances thrust him into, from newsboy to printer, and thence to telegrapher and finally inventor. Speaking of this he once said: "I was climbing all the time, but I didn't know exactly what my life work was to be. I think sometimes the restless boy is simply a misfit trying to find what he is fitted for in life." But life's successful misfits are not confined to any profession or business. Take authorship. Half our successful writers were trained for the law, medicine or some business or left to drift hopelessly on the sea of life until they got their bearings through accident or effort. The successful misfits are as difficult to explain as genius. They arrive in spite of themselves, and in spite of their early false start. "You must put a genius in a hole to make him climb high," is an old Spanish saying. It has an application that plays an important part in the scheme of life. Who can say how much good the early work of Benjamin Franklin at tallow-chandling had in developing his remarkable talent as an inventor, scientist and statesman, or what lasting influence the mercantile career of James K. Polk had in training him for the presidency? From these examples one can draw the consolation that an early false start does not necessarily spoil a career. Indeed, it seems as if it stimulated the misfit to greater effort to work his way out of the uncongenial work. It is only the weak and inefficient whose back is broken by the uncongenial labor; the strong will work the harder to free himself from the slavery and drudgery. Religion of the Rich By DR. M. M. MANGASARIAN, Chicago. Religion of the Rich By DR. M. M. MANGASARIAN, Chicago. There is nothing interesting about the religion of men of great wealth, and that is the pity of it. It indicates the intellectual barrenness of the average millionaire and also his moral indifference. It is rarely that a Morgan, a Rockefeller, or a Vanderbilt will change his church or denomination. He conforms. It is not he who asks for a revised Bible. He is content with the religion of his own clique or church. All that the millionaire does for the church is to carpet it, or to put in memorial windows of stained glass, to build a belfry high and mighty, to present it with a louder bell or a bigger organ. To its progressive life, to its honest evolution, he gives less than nothing, if such a phrase could be used. Of all the churches supported by the millionaire we may justly say that they are prosperous financially, but dead morally and intellectually. They are the highest devel- opment of hat-making. Stetson Hats are the standard of fashion in all parts of the globe. Perfect in quality and beautiful in finish—they are the best that the best workman can do with the best materials.

In the first they are stewed white and in the second they are stewed brown. Ingredients—Two sweetbreads, one pint of veal broth, seasonings, one ounce of flour, one ounce of butter, two yolks of eggs, one-sixteenth pint cream. Method—Soak and prepare the sweetbreads as in the second recipe, stewing them for an hour in veal broth with a seasoning of mace, white pepper, salt and a very small slice of onion. Press them till cold, trim them and strain into a bowl. Melt the butter in a stewpan, stir the flour into it and let it cook without browning. Add the strained veal broth and stir till well boiled, then remove from the fire and beat in the yolk of two eggs or some cream. Let the sweetbreads warm in this without boiling, then dish them and serve, garnished with slices of lemon and sprigs of parsley. Ingredients — Two sweetbreads, three-quarters of a pint of brown sauce and tomatoes. Method—Soak two sweetbreads in warm, salted water for an hour. Put on stove in cold water, and bring to boiling point. Take out sweetbreads and rinse. Put on again in fresh water or white stock, and allow to simmer gently for an hour. Drain and press sweetbreads between two plates with weight upon top of them. Trim neatly and cut into thick slices. Put the sweetbreads into a stewpan with three-quarters of a pint of rich brown sauce, and let them get quite hot. In the meanwhile pour boiling water over some tomatoes, skin them and place them in a buttered tin with buttered paper over. Bake till tender but unbroken. HOUSEHOLD HINTS Hot sunshine will remove scorch. Hot tartaric acid will take ink stains out of white cloth. A package or envelope sealed with white of egg cannot be steamed open. Even delicate glass can be safely washed in very hot water if slipped in edgewise. Insects like neither salt nor alum and enough adheres to the carpet to keep them away. Saturate grass stains on children's pinafores, etc., in paraffin and then put into the washtub. Burning oil is spread by water. To extinguishe it throw down flour, sand or earth. The idea is to prevent the oil from spreading. Starch should be mixed with soapy water, for thus the linen will have a more glossy appearance and be less likely to stick to the iron. Clotheslines and pegs will last much longer if they are boiled for ten minutes when new. It is a good plan to repeat the boiling occasionally. It is not generally known, but to prevent cakes from burning place a little bran at the bottom of the tins. This will save a lot of grumbling and vexation. Italian Cakes. Half a cup of butter, warmed but not melted, and the same quantity of sugar, beaten to a cream. Add one by one, beating continuously, four eggs, whites and yolks. At the last beat in very hard half a cup of pastry flour. Pour this mixture to the depth of half an inch in a shallow buttered tin and bake in a moderately quick oven for 10 or 15 minutes. Turn upside down to cool; spread thickly with a firm jam or jelly, preferably strawberry or raspberry, and then overlay this with stiff chocolate icing. When firm, cut into odd shapes, squares, discs, diamonds, triangles, etc. Rag Carpet Without Sewing Tear rags about an inch wide, cut a buttonhole in each end, lay one strip on the other so that one hole is over the other, take the end of the lower one and draw it through the hole of the upper one tightly, and it will look as if sewed. Now take a large crochet hook and crochet as if making a common round tidy. You can make it as large as you want and quickly, can be washed in a tub, and with care will last a lifetime. Lyman Salad. Select long green peppers, cut in halves lengthwise, remove the seeds, and fill with grape-fruit pulp, celery and apple finely cut, and pecan nut meats broken in pieces, using half as much each of celery and apple as of grape fruit, and allowing three nut meats to each case. Arrange on lettuce leaves and garnish with mayonnaise dressing. To Pack China. When moving, a new way to pack china that is valuable as well as delicate is to wrap each piece carefully in paraffine paper and sink it in the flour barrel. A delicate piece of Wedgewood china and a piece of valuable statuary were packed in this way, and neither piece was injured. Of course, the flour barrel must be reasonably full of flour. To Prevent Moths To keep moths out of upholstered furniture, sprinkle well with benzine. It will not spot or stain the most delicate colors, and the unpleasant odor soon passes away in the air. When it is known that the moth miller has entered a closet, burn a tablespoonful of gum camphor in the room, closing the door and letting the clothes remain in the fumes. When Burning Rubbish. When burning vegetable refuse, old papers and rubbish in the stove or furnace, throw a handful of salt in the fire and there will be no unpleasant and disagreeable odor.

Importer Seeks to Evade Tariff by Novel Proposition. Washington.—Is an egg live stock? If it is bought for the purpose ofatching, is it live stock for breedingpurposes? G. F. Statter of Sioux City has thedepartment of the treasury worryingabout these and sundry collateralquestions. Mr. Statter sent to Englandfor a couple of dozen eggs of theBlack Orpington, an especially aristocratic "general purpose" hen; that is,when that can lay an egg every dayand at the same time be eaten for dinnerwith satisfaction and comfort. The cheerful joker who billed the eggs out of England and who didn't know anything about the tariff valued them at $100. When they got to the custom house at Sioux City duties of $25 were assessed against them. Mr. Statter protested. He had heard of the famous ruling of Secretary Shaw that frogs are poultry for the purposes of tariff, and he figured that eggs were live stock, potentially, at least. Under the law registered live stock imported for breeding purposes is entitled to come in free. But the department decided against the Sioux City man, and his only hope is to reopen the case. Meanwhile he is for tariff revision—not at the hands of its friends. PRAYS FOR COOL MILLION. St. Louis Woman Expects to Get It; First Asked for $10,000. St. Louis.—Mrs. Francina De Moss, who sold her furniture for $91 and gave up her home in St. Louis to obtain money to pay the rent for a small mission she has been conducting at Ewing avenue and Olive street, said she will go to Chicago tn engage in mission work. The De Moss family has $91, the amount realized from the sale of the furniture, and with this money will go to Chicago. The few articles of furniture saved from the auctioneer's hammer, including a piano, bedroom set and a few chairs, will be shipped to the former home of the family in Des Moines, Ia. "It is practically certain we shall go to Chicago the latter part of the week," said Mrs. De Moss. "We have only $91, but we have no cause for worry, as we will be taken care of by divine power. "The Bible tells us to ask for much. I have been praying for $1,000,000. At first I only asked $10,000, but it was reevaled to me that would not be enough. I am just as certain I shall get the $1,000,000 as I am of anything in the world." CLAIMS TO KNOW SEX SECRET. Woman Declares She Made Discovery Which Will Benefit World. New York.—Mrs. C. E. Calhoun declares she has discovered the secret of sex. After 30 years, devoted largely to studying the subject, she asserts she has proved by actual demonstration that parents can have boys or girls at will, that stock breeders and ranchmen can produce cow or bull calves as they see fit, and that horticulturists can grow male or female plants at will. The last of her family, she maintains, was made to order. After three girls had come along she decided to change the sex of those that followed, so she put the discovery at work and had four boys. Now she is a widow and her children are grown, so she proposes to give the whole world the benefit of her discovery in a book she is writing and expects to publish it within a month. As a household article, Mrs. Calhoun is sure her discovery will be popular. A boy or girl baby at will is bound to give joy. What her process is she is withholding until her book comes out. HANDCAR IS THE FAST MAIL. Dublin, Tex., Postmaster Proves Equas to Emergency. Dublin, Tex.—The difficulties of being a postmaster in Texas when train service is suspended by floods and high water have been experienced by Nicholas D. Smith, postmaster of this place, during the recent rise in the river here and the consequent cutting off of all railroad communications. Dublin is situated on two lines, the Frisco and the Texas Central. Both lines suspended the operation of all trains, and a number of small towns were without any way to get mail. It was up to the Dublin postmaster to devise means of making the delivery of letters at least. He was equal to the emergency. To several towns he sent mail clerks afoort; to others he went himself on a handcar, and to still other villages he went on work trains and sent his men in the same manner. For three or four days, during which the railroads were unable to operate, Postmaster Smith repeated these performances and kept the towns supplied with the letter mail. Measles from Buttercups Darby, Pa.—Although there has been an epidemic of measles in the borough among the school children, so that it became necessary to close the Ridge avenue school three days, the local doctors laugh at the theory of Dr. W. W. Chalfante, the Philadelphia practitioner, who declares that measles is caused by picking buttercups. Most of the children stricken belonged to one class, and were between the ages of six and eight years, and, unlike most of the older children, they had not indulged in the pastime of picking buttercups.

PRESIDENT CAUTIOUS MAY MAKE IT A LEVER TO SE CURE ANTI-INJUNCTION DLL Washington.—President Roosevelt already has "taken notice" of the $22,000,000 public building bill, although that measure is still in conference between the two houses of Congress. He asked Secretary Cortelyou to prepare a report on the measure to guide him in determining whether to sign or veto it. Mr. Cortelyou is asked to include in his report, first whether the condition of the public funds justify so large an expenditure for public buildings at this time; second, the amount of future expenditures which will be made necessary to complete the new projects authorized in the measure, and third, an opinion based on the expert judgment of the supervising architect of the treasury, as to the necessity for each of the projects provided for. That there is a connection between the President's desire to be fully informed as to the public buildings bill and his desire to have passed an anti injunction bill and also his desire to have a bill passed to subsidize ocean mail steamers, is declared to be most obvious. It is conceded that no measure passed at this session is more tooth some to members of both houses than the public building bill. The prospect of having this bill veted would cause emphatic concern and alarm. Meanwhile the President is continuing in personal work with members to induce action on the anti-injunction proposition and to persuade House members that the Senate subsidy provision contained in the postoffice ap propriation bill should be accepted. The report, which Secretary Cortelz you will lose no time in preparing, will undoubtedly be convincing along its designed lines. Two New Bishops Elected. Baltimore.—The battle of the bishoprics was hotly waged Thursday and before the adjournment of the Methodist Episcopal general conference the fifth ballot had been cast and was in the hands of the tellers. Rev. Dr. William F. Anderson of New York, and Rev. Dr. John L. Nuelsen of Nast Theological seminary, Berea, Ohio, were elected bishops upon the second ballot. Dr. Nuelsen received his degree from the university of Denver in 1900. The third and fourth ballots were without result. It is expected that the newly elected German bishop, Nuelsen, will be given an episcopal residence in Berlin, with charge of the Teutonic races in Europe, and that bishop William Burt will confine his labors to the Latin races. Significance attaches to a recommendation which the book committee unanimously decided to make to the conference. It is that hereafter the book concerns of the church employ only union men at union wages and favorunion labor whenever opportunity offers. During the past four years the two great publishing houses of the general conference have had a good deal of trouble with labor unions, especially with the Typographical union. The resolution is the outgrowth of this and the desire of the Methodist Episcopal church to get in closer touch with laboring men and women. New Presbyterian Moderator. Kansas City.—Rev. Dr. Baxter P. Fullerton of St. Louis was elected moderator of the Presbyterian church in the United States Thursday to succeed Rev. Dr. William H. Roberts of Philadelphia. The first day of the general assembly of the church was characterized by a spirit of unity and co-operation which promises much for results to be accomplished during the ten days the conference is to be in session. Dr. Roberts delivered his farewell sermon as moderator before the greatest audience ever assembled at a conference of the church. There were 800 authorized commissioners present from all parts of the world, besides thousands of other Presbyterians and spectators. There were present representatives from Porto Rico, the Philippines, Alaska and from a dozen countries. Ten thousand churches with fully 4,000,000 adherents, most of them communicants, were represented. Dr. Roberts' sermon was an argument in favor of Christian co-operation and harmony in opposing the forces of evil in the United States and the world. Cotton Goods Much Cheaper. Chicago.—In a fight against manufacturers to reduce the cost of cotton fabrics, wholesale dealers have announced a final reduction, establishing the prices of cotton goods thirty-five per cent, lower than they were last October. The price now set by the big wholesale houses is said to be the last reduction that will be made. Airship Carries Passengers. Toledo, Ohio.—From his temporary aerodrome on Collingwood Heights, Thursday evening, A. Roy Knabenshue successfully negotiated the first airship flight ever made in this country with an airship carrying passengers. With him in the test were Early Hess and Charles Hamilton, two of his assistants. The flight was only a short one, but through it all the aeroplanes that really make possible the operation of the ship carrying passengers, performed their part of the work to a nicety that was surprising even to Knabenshue. A MODEL HUSBAND GIRL'S IDEA WINS PRIZE. Must Swear When Occasion Demands and Be Able to Buy Next Meal—Must Have Face to Attract Dogs and Babies. Chicago.—An Omaha newspaper asked its unmarried women readers the following question: "If you were to exercise your leap-year privilege what kind of a man would you propose to?" An astonishing number of replies were received, and it is noteworthy that in a majority of the cases the man described has yet to be born. The prize offered for the best answer went to Miss Myrtle Bascom of this city. Here are some of the qualifications of Miss Bascom's ideal man: He must be a good meal ticket provider. He must be able to swear when the occasion demands it. He must not stay out too many nights in the week. But he would not be forced to tell where he had been. He must be old enough to know what life is. He can't learn this too young. He must have a face that will attract dogs and babies. Beauty is no object. He must have just money enough to know where the next meal is coming from, and not enough so that he can live without working. He must be an American and a gentleman. Foreign noblemen and Americans of the Thaw class need not apply. This ideal is patterned after James Dahlmann, the "Cowboy Mayor" of Omaha. But it is not him she wants, for "Jim" has been married for some time. Miss Bascom, who is a pretty blonde of about—well, she says she would past 18—explained why she would choose such a man. She does not want the mayor, for she does not believe in taking a man from his wife, but she does believe that another just like him would be a very fit companion for her. "Jim has been my ideal man for many years," she said as she sat in her cozy bachelor apartments. "He is of the honest, frank American type. That is the kind for me. I don't want any man with titles. One just like I think the mayor is would be better than a fellow with an unpronounceable name and a bunch of debts." When she was asked why she inserted the provision that a man could use a "bid D," as she termed it, she said that she believed there were times when it was almost justifiable. "Besides that," she added. "I would not try to lay down the law to a man whom I was proposing to. Women generally make the mistake of telling their husbands what they shall do. That is what causes so many many divorces. "Man and wife should live together and each keep in their own sphere. If a man tried to tell me what to do, and it was none of his business, I might hit him over the head with a skillet. And he could hit me, too, if I mixed up in his business." Miss Bascom does not think that beauty should enter into a marriage contract. It is all the same whatever the parties look like if they are suited with each other, she says. "I can always tell a nice man when I see him going along the street. If a dog jumps up to lick his hand and babies cling to him when he takes them in his arms, then he is my kind," she explained. Wife-seekers will find no favor by trying for the hand of Miss Bascom. She will pick out her man when she finds one. The man who comes after her will get the cold shoulder—unless. But she has never seen that man yet, she says. THIS BUG ATTACKS FINGERS. Doctors in Quaker City Mystified by New Malady. Philadelphia.—Physicians of the Children's Homeopathic hospital have been much mystified for the past few days by the large number of patients suffering from a strange insect bite or sting invariably on the index or middle finger. The first case was that of Mary Bergdauer, 17 years old. When she was admitted the index finger of her right hand was swollen almost twice its usual size. Under treatment the swelling subsided and she returned to her home. Two hours later Mary Jansen, 19 years old, was admitted, suffering intense pain, except that it was the middle finger of her left hand. The same treatment brought the same result, but the physicians could not tell what had caused the swelling. As yet no deaths have been reported from the strange malady. Merry Widow Buzz-Saw Off. Allentown, Pa.-The other night a man, name unknown, walked down Turner street. In front was a woman wearing a "Merry Widow" hat the size of a bicycle wheel. The man failed to notice the hat, and when he was near the woman the latter turned around. The sharp and braided edge of the hat struck the man across the eyes. With a howl of rage and pain the man grabbed the hat, tore it from the woman's head, threw it on the ground, stamped on it, and then kicked it into the street, after which he disappeared down an alley.

A northern gentleman, visiting in a southern village, attended church at a negro meeting house. When it came time for the collection to be taken, two deacons seated themselves beside a table before the pulpit, with the plate between them. One by one the congregation rose, and stepping forward, deposited a cent or a nickel upon the plate before the eyes of the watchful deacons. When all the members had gone forward the northern man took a half-dollar from his pocket, and leaning forward and touching a negro on the shoulder, handed it to him and motioned toward the pulpit. The colored brother rose with alacrity, but with eyes big with astonishment, and holding the coin between the tips of his fingers and extending it high in the air where all might seet, he marched slowly and ostentatively forward. He was about to deposit it on the plate when one of the deacons motioned and whispered to him. The effect was instantaneous. The coin bearer lowered the coin out of the public gaze and stepped back to the donor. "Please, sah," he said, in a low voice, "does you want some change back—and how much?" The visitor shook his head. Again up went the coin, borne by a smiling negro, and with a clangor and an audible buzz of approval from the spectators, it fell into the plate. Watched by the deacons, the preacher counted the funds. "The collection this morning amounts to $8 cents," he announced. "We will now enter upon a service of thanksgiving." —Youth's Companion. Tender Heart on the Bench. According to an eminent lawyer there is a custom in French jurisprudence that sanctions the consultation by a judge in provincial courts with colleagues on the bench, called "assessors," when sentence is to be passed upon certain classes of malefactors. "What ought we to give this rascal, brother?" a judge in the department of the Loire asked the assessor on his right. "I should say three years." "What is your opinion, brother?" This to the assessor on the left. "I should give him four years." Whereupon the judge, assuming an air of great benevolence, said: "Prisoner, not desiring to impose upon you a long and severe term of imprisonment, as I should have done if left to myself. I have consulted my learned brethren and shall take their advice. Seven years." A Draw. One Chicago university professor expresses the opinion that women sel dom rise to any intellectual height; out as a good many women probably have formed the same opinion about Chicago university professors, the fight looks like a draw.

The young wife of a prominent New York physician teaches a Sunday school class of small boys. One Sunday, not long ago, after she had finished telling them the story of Joseph and his coat of many colors, she said: "Is there any question you would like to ask me before we go on with the catechism?" "Yes'm," answered little Sammy Eastwood. "Well, what is it, Sammy?" "Will you give me a ride in your automobile?" The question was not answered then, but as a matter of record, Sammy got the ride.—New York Times. "Our Barbarous Fourth." Mrs. Isaac L.

Lawmakers Unable to Agree on Suit able Allegory with Which to Finish the Superb Decorations of the Great Building. It is understood that another effort will be made to complete the frieze in the rotunda of the capitol at Washington a work which has been neglected for many years. When Constantine Brumidi, the Italian artist, designed the decorations for the frieze he chose 15 historic incidents, beginning with the land- in the rotunda of the capitol at Washington a work which has been neglected for many years. When Constantine Brumidil, the Italian artist, designed the decorations for the frieze he chose 15 historic incidents, beginning with the landing of Columbus and ending with the discovery of gold in California in 1849. These incidents were: Cortes entering the temple of the sun in Mexico; Pizarro with the horse, progressing in the conquest of Peru; the burial of De Soto in the Mississippi; the rescue of Capt. John Smith by Pocahontas; the disembarkation of the Pilgrim Fathers; Penn's treaty with the Indians and the settlement of Pennsylvania; the industrial colonization of the New England states; Gen. Oglethorpe and the Muscogee chief in the settlement of Georgia; the Battle of Lexington; the Declaration of Independence; the surrender of Cornwallis; the death of Tecumseh; the American army entering the City of Mexico; the discovery of gold in California in 1849. These are the painted incidents as they stand to-day, and there remains room for one large or two smaller additions. The ugly gap in the great dome of the rotunda of the national capitol mars its beauty to a marked degree. For more than a dozen years the guides have told visitors that the great paintings would be finished during the year, and for a dozen years or more the artist's rough scaffolding hung in place, useless, a blot on the beauty of the rotunda. Inability of the lawmakers to agree on a suitable allegory to complete the cycle of events represented has been the drawback in this really necessary matter, and all the begging and pleading on the part of the architect that the work be completed has availed nothing. The rotunda of the capitol is its most attractive feature. It is usually the first part of the great building which a vistor sees. The renovation of the dome and the rotunda waits on the completion of the frieze and in its present condition there are evidences of bad housekeeping. The rotunda is 95 feet 6 inches in diameter, and 180 feet above its marble floor hangs the canopy of the 9,000,000 pound dome, which gives the capitol its imposing appearance. Around this dome are galleries, to which thousands of visitors climb every month to get a nearer and better view of the decorations. It has been broadly hinted that but for the fear of engendering sectional feelings designs would have been agreed upon years ago. An illustration of the surrender at Appomattox, the emancipation proclamation on anything touching any of the historical events of the civil war would not meet with the approval of those who espoused the lost cause or who lived in the south. That this has been the cause of the deadlock there can be but little question, and members of the committee who lean toward the civil war panel idea have been asked: "Why take an incident of the civil war? Nowhere in the frieze will you find a picture of George Washington, and the Father of His Country ought not to be left out in the picturing of the history of America." To Have Novel Floor Covering. A new fad not likely to become so popular as to lose its present exclusiveness is being introduced by Mrs. Perry Belmont, wife of a former American minister to Belgium and New York politician, who will have the parquetry floors of her new $1,000,000 Washington residence covered with reproductions of rugs and carpets trod by royalty years ago in Europe. Apropos to this is the service rendered to art by the federal bureau of manufactures, which is collecting through the assistance of American consuls the best designs used in foreign countries for the manufacture of articles of utility, and not only placing those within the reach of American manufacturers, but calling their attention to them. Ten thousand designs of printed fabrics—cotton, silks, etc., thus collected have been mounted and arranged so as to be available, and are now making the round of American manufactories and industrial schools in the order in which the exhibit is requested. Floral Path to the Capitol Senator Wetmore would transform the gateway to the national capitol into spreading lawns, fountains, and flowers. He introduced a bill appropriating $2,500,000 for the purchase of six blocks, a majority of which are occupied by buildings, lying between the capitol and the new Union station. These buildings he would tear down, substituting for them an expanse of lawn, dotted with statues and flower beds. This change the senator believes, would make the entrance to Washington the most beautiful in the world. TRIBUTE TO FLUTE PLAYER. Colored Messenger Evidently Right When He Called Music Powerful. Lewis Miller, clerk of the house committee on the District of Columbia, is chirking up a bit these days, according to Irving C. Norwood. For the last couple of weeks Mr. Miller has been in a state of profound depression. He has not smiled. He has not spoken otherwise than solemnly. There seemed, from his air of gloom, to be somebody dead in the house office building. So the other day 1 asked him about it, and his face brightened up quite a little. He seemed to want to talk. "It's my flute," said he; "my German silver flute that has been with me since Hector was a pup. Never, in the past 20 or 30 years—I forget just how long—have I been without my flute. When I am tired I play the flute to rest myself. When I am rested I play the flute to become pleasantly fatigued. When I am sad I play to be gay, and when I am gay, I play to get sad. My flute is my constant companion, my main source of joy, my only eternal, everlasting, unchangeable friend." After this talk with Mr. Miller I went out and found the dusky messenger who is intrusted with the laborious duty of seeing to it that nobody steals the southwest corridor of the building. "Did you ever hear Mr. Miller play the flute?" I asked. "Oh, yassir," the messenger replied; "he sure can play. Mr. Jones, downstairs, he's a fren of mine—oh, yes, he's a white gentleman—he lost his mother-in-law, yassir, she was a fine lady—a month or so ago, and he say he ain't never shed a tear till he heard Mr. Miller's flute. Oh, yassir, he wanted to cry and he done tried, but it just seem he couldn't. Mostly he wanted to sing. But one day I done tol' him about Mr. Miller and his flute, and he come up. And we sit down outside the district committee room doah, and in a minute Mr. Jones, he began to cry. And he's been up three or fcah times since then. He say it makes him feel more respectful. "What does Mr. Miller play? Deed and deed I don' know, but it sure am powerful sad. It's grand. It would make a dog cry." KEEPS OLD AGE AT BAY. Outdoor Life of Senator Aldrich Responsible for His Vigor. Many visitors to the capitol have remarked on the splendid physical appearance of Nelson W. Aldrich, of Rhode Island. The senior Rhode Island senator is nearing his seventieth milestone; his hair and mustache are snow white, but his eyes are clear, his complexion has the ruddy glow of vigorous health, and his step is firm and strong. Time has made very little impress upon him except to whiten his locks. "Aldrich,' said a colleague recently, placing his hand on the Rhode Island senator's shoulder, "you have been here for nearly 30 years. I have never heard any one accuse you of being lazy. The fact is, I know from my own personal observation that you are one of the hardest working members of the senate and I therefore want you to explain to me how it is you manage to keep so young. Give me your prescription. I think that it would be worth my while to try it." Mr. Aldrich smiled quietly. "I do not believe," he said, "that there is any hard and fast rule for reaching a green old age, as it is called. What suits one, you know, might not agree with another; no two people are exactly alike. I attribute my good health to care, regular habits, plain diet, and plenty of outdoor exercise. Meet me on the golf links next Saturday and I will give you a run for your money!" The senior Rhode Island senator is said by those who are competent to judge, to be one of the best golf players in either house of congress. Got Rid of the Bore. The head of a bureau in an important government department has long been afflicted with a friend who calls upon him regularly and sits down, and sits and sits, and goes on sitting till assault and battery becomes a virtue. The other day this sedentary bore was in the full exercise of his functions, when suddenly the official, who had been scrutinizing him closely, cries: "I knew it! I was sure of it! Confound these office boys with their tricks on strangers! They've been putting glue on your chair again. Hi, Jimmie, bring a sponge and a pail of water," and, pressing with all his weight on the shoulders of his victim to keep him down, he continues: "Don't stir, you'll tear the cloth, sure. Nothing is half so adhesive as glue on a cane-seat chair. Here, Jimmie, moisten this gentleman so that we can get him loose. Don't spare the water—the cloth won't shrink or fade." The faithful messenger obeys, and when the operation is concluded the official conducts the visitor to the door and bids him farewell with the remark: "Perhaps you want to hurry home and change your clothing, so I won't keep you. Good-by, bless you! If your trousers are spoiled let me know, and I'll stop the price of them out of the pay of the infernal scoundrel if I can find out who he was, and to that task I will devote all the energies of my lifetime and the whole machinery of the government. Good-by! The scoundrel! I thought for several days past that there was something wrong." His friend goes like the visions of youth, never to return.

Mr. Newrich's Visiting Card Left Friend in the Shade. Mr. Newrich, the dust contractor, having made a fortune, part of which he had invested in house property in the east of London, wished to rise, like a Phoenix, from his ashes into some sort of society. His golden key, applied to the coffers of an impecunious aristocrat, opened the way. His new friend, among other things, advised him that visiting cards were a necessity, and, as a guide to drawing one up ready for the printer, handed him one of his own, which read, "Harold De Vere, lona House, Portsmouth Square, W." Two days later, as De Vere was sitting in his dressing room at breakfast, a servant brought in on a salver a visiting card bearing the following: "Ephraim Newrich, I Own 23 Houses, London, E." SEVERE HEMORRHOIDS Sores, and Itching Eczema—Doctor Thought an Operation Necessary —Cuticura's Efficacy Proven. "I am now 80 years old, and three years ago I was taken with an attack of piles (hemorrhoids), bleeding and protruding. The doctor said the only help for me was to go to a hospital and be operated on. I tried several remedies for months but did not get much help. During this time sores appeared which changed to a terrible itching eczema. Then I began to use Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and Pills, injecting a quantity of Cuticura Ointment with a Cuticura Suppository Syringe. It took a month of this treatment to get me in a fairly healthy state and then I treated myself once a day for three months and, after that, once or twice a week. The treatments I tried took a lot of money, and it is fortunate that I used Cuticura. J. H Henderson, Hopkinton, N. Y., Apr. 26, 1907." His Quick Recovery "I was so glad," said Mrs. Oldcastle, "to see Dr. Goodleigh in the pulpit again last Sunday. He had such a time of it. Dear me, it must be perfectly dreadful to have one's appendix removed. I dread it so that I don't know what I should do if I had to undergo an operation. They said, when the doctor went to the hospital, that he wouldn't be out again for a month or more." "I know it," replied her hostess as she started the diamond-studded phonograph, "but I guess he repudered a good deal faster than they expected."

It was sentence day in the city court. A man in the prisoners' pen, who had been sentenced to two years for larceny, began to cry softly. The big man next him, who was going to serve seven years for bigamy, said: "Aw, wotcher snifflin' about?" "I'm—I'm—th-th-thinkin' about leavin' (sob) my—my—family.

It is to these faithful women that The extraordinary popularity of fine white goods this summer makes the choice of Starch a matter of great importance. Defiance Starch, being free from all injurious chemicals, is the only one which is safe to use on fine fabrics. Its great strength as a stiffener makes half the usual quantity of Starch necessary, with the result of perfect finish, equal to that when the goods were new.
