LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY THE NEGRO In Politics By Ray Stannard Baker in June Number of American Magazine. What Slavery Did. VOL. XIV, THE N In Politics By Ray Stannard American Magazine. The political reaction after Re- construction varied, of course, in the different states being most vi- olent in states like South Carolina, where the old aristocratic regime was most firmly entrenched, and least violent in North Carolina, which has always been the most democratic of Southern states. In South Carolina then, for example, the aristocrats in 1875 returned to political supremacy. General Wade Hampton, who represented all that was highest in the old regime, became governor of the state. A similar tendency developed, of course, in the other Southern states, and a notable group of statesmen (and they were statesmen) appeared in politics—Hill and Gordon of Georgia, Lamar and George of Miss., Butler of South Carolina, Morgan of Alabama, all aristocrats of the old school. Apparently the ancient order was restored; apparently the man ran as well as ever. But the Old South after all, had received its mortal wound. There had been a revolution; society had been overturned. The institution on which it had reared its ancient splendor was gone: for the aristocrat no longer enjoyed the special privilege, the enormous economic advantage of owning his laborers. He was reduced to an economic equality with other white men, and even with the Negro, either of whom could hire labor as easily and cheaply as he could. And the baronial plantation which had been the mark of his grandeur before the war was now the millstone of his doom. Special privilege, always the bulwark of aristocracy, being thus removed, the germ of democracy began to work the poor whites. The disappearance of competitive slave labor made them unexpectedly prosperous: it secured a more equable division of wealth. With prosperity came more book-reading more schooling, a greater jeeling of independence. And this feeling animated the poor white with a new sense of freedom and power. Enter now, when the time was really ripe for a leader, the rude man of the people. How often he appears in the pages of history, the sure product of revolutions, bursting upwards like some devastating force, not at all silken-handed or subtle-minded, but crude, virile, direct, truthful. State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House ed by Patron COLORA NEGRO Baker in June Number of What Slavery Did. Now the chief object of any aristocracy, the reason why it wishes to monopolize government and learning, is because it wishes to supervise the division of labor and the products of labor. That is the bottom fact. In slavery times, of course, the white man supervised labor absolutely and took all the profits. In some cases to-day, by a system of peonage, he still controls the laborer and takes all the profits. But as the Negro grown in education and property he not only wishes to supervise his own labor, but demands a larger share in the returns of labor. He is no longer willing to be an adject "hewer of wood and a drawer of water" as he was in slavery times; he has an ambition to own his own farm, do his own business, employ his own professional men, and so on. He will not "keep his place" as a servant. And that is the basis of all the trouble. Many of the utterances of white political leaders resolve themselves into a statement of this position. At the American Bankers' Association last fall Governor Swanson of Virginia said: "At last the offices, the business houses, and the financial institutions are all in the hands of intelligent Anglo-Saxons, and with God's help and our own good right hand we will hold him (the Negro) where he is." In other words, the white man will by force hold all political, business and financial positions; he will be boss; and the Negro must do the menial work; he must be a servant. Hoke Smith says in this speech (the italics are mine): "Those Negroes who are contented to occupy the natural status of their race, the position of inferiority, all, competition being eliminated between the whites and the blacks, will be treated with greater kindness." In other words, if the Negro will be contented to keep himself inferior and not compete with the white man everything will be right. And thus, curiously enough, while Hoke Smith in his campaign was thundering against railroad corporations for destroying competition, while he was glorifying the principle of "free and unrestricted trade," he was advocating the formation of a monopoly of all white men by DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JUNE 13, 1908. the elimination of the competition of all colored men. Indeed, we find sporadic attempts to pass laws to compel the Negro to engage only in certain sorts of menial work. In Texas not long ago a bill was introduced in the legislature "to confine colored labor to the farm whenever it was found in city and town communities to be competing with white labor." In the last session of the Arkansas legislature Senator Mc Knight introduced a bill providing that Negroes be forbidden "from waiting on white persons in hotels, restaurants, or becoming barbers, or porters on trains, and to prevent any white man from working for any Negro." In a number of towns respectable educated, and prosperous Negro doctor grocers, and others have been forcibly driven out. I visited Monroe, Louisiana, where two Negro doctors had been forced to leave town because they were taking the practice of white physicians. In the same town a Negro grocer was burned out, because he was encroaching on the trade of white grocers. Neither of the laws above referred to, of course, was passed; and the instances of violence I have are sporadic and unusual. For the South has not followed the dominant political leaders to the extremes of their logic. Human nature never, finally, goes to extremes; it is forever compromising, never wholly logical. While perhaps a large proportion of Southerners would agree perfectly with Hoke Smith or Tillman in his theory of a complete supremacy of all white men in all respects as a matter of fact nearly every white Southerner is encouraging some practical exception which quite overturns the theory. Tens of thousands of white Southerners swear by Booker T. Washington, and though doubtful about Negro education the South is expending millions of dollars every year on colored schools. Vardaman, declaiming violently against Negro colleges, has actually, in specific instances, given them help and encouragement. I told how he had cut off an $8,000 appropriation from Alcorn College because he did not believe in Negro Education: but he turned around and gave Alcorn College $14,000 for a new lighting system, because he had come in personal contact with the Negro president of Alcorn College, and liked him. And though the politicians may talk about complete Negro disfranchisement, the Negro has nowhere been completely disfranchised: a few Negroes vote in every part of the South. I once heard a Southerner argue for an hour against the participation of the Negro in politics, and then ten minutes later tell me with pride of a certain Negro banker in his city whom we both knew. "Dr ——'s all right," he said. "He's a sensible Negro. I went with him myself when he registered. He ought to vote." So personal relationships, the solving touch of human nature, play havoc with political theories and generalities. Mankind develops not by rules but by exceptions of rules. While the white aristocracy has indeed succeeded in controlling local government in the South almost completely, it has not been able to dominate the federal political organizations, which include many Negroes. And though often opposing education for the Negro, the aristocracy has not, after all, monopolized education; and the Negro, in spite of Jim Crow laws and occasional violence, has actually been pushing ahead, getting a foothold in land ownership, entering the professions, even competing in some lines of business with white men. So democeacy, though black, is encroaching in the world old way on aristocracy; how far Negroes can go toward real democratic citizenship in the various lines—industrial, political, social—no man knows. We can see the fight; we do not know how the spoils of war will finally be divided. COMMENCEMENT AT WESTERN UNIVERSITY COMMENCEMENT AT WESTERN UNIVERSITY That Western University is building into a still greater institution, and setting in motion currents of usefulness, uplift and progress on every hand was evidenced by the splendid Commencement just concluded, Thursday June 4th—the greatest and best Commencement in its history. Dr. W. T. Vernon, Register of U. S. Trearury, has been present and lent all his oldtime energy and characteristic personality in making the closing days a great success. For ten days people came from all parts of the West, walked or rode the two miles from the street car line, and crowded the Auditorium hall at each nightly exercises, sometimes through rain and over bad roads. In all kinds of country vehicles, carriages, hacks, automobiles, and in a large tally-ho carrying eighteen at a trip they came and went curious, crowded and contented. As a grand climax to the whole, Thursday afternoon at 2 p. m. in a large tent which held about 3000 people, the Commencement exercises were held. The Salutatory oration was delivered by Miss Ada Balthrop of Argentine, Kansas; the Valedictory by Milton E. Sarders of Hempstead, Texas. The Commencement address was made by Prof. G. N. Grisham of Lincoln High School, K. C. Mo. Bishop Abram Grant delivered some very fitting remarks, and thanked the people for their presence and financial support in years past. Dr. Wm. T. Vernon awarded the diplomas and certificates, and distributed prizes as follows; The J. C. Emery prize given by Mrs. Wm. T. Vernon for highest scholarship was presented to Milton E. Sanders. The B. F. Watson prize for best record in original music composition for this year was won by John Sellers of Great Bend, Kans. The J C. Owens prize for the best record in the cooking department was won by Miss Bertha Anderson of Quindaro. The W. D. Cook gold medal for winner in oratory, and another gold medal presented by Prof. W. W. Fisher to settle the tie in the contest, were presented to Miss Erva French of Quindaro and Miss Vinecy Keys of K. C. Mo. After the exercises the great crowd viewed the fine exhibit of the handiwork of the students made during the year, and inspected the new Boys' Trades Hall, now being finished and installed with steam laundry, electric lighting plant and fine woodturning and steel working machinery. The Military band boys entertained the crowd with an open air concert. The high standard reached by this commencement shows the wonderful development that Western University is making in a substantial way as a preferred center of advanced thought and useful learning. The faculty for the next school year is as follows:—President (On leave of absence) Dr. W. T. Vernon; Acting President, Shelton France, Logic and Psychology; W. W. Fisher, Trustee and Fiscal Agent; G. A. Gregg, Mathematics; Rev. E R. Vaughan, English and Latin; Miss Essay Jean Vernon, History; Mrs. F. E. H. Wassom, Science; A. L. Reynolds, Director of Industries; John W. Carter, Carpentry and Architectural drawing; Harry R. Greham, Printing; Wade Hammond, Tailoring and Bandmaster; Miss Mable Wright, Dressmaking and Millinery; Myrtle Craig. Scientific cooking; Madame Sadie Curry, Girls' Matron; Mrs. Hammond, Boys' Matron; Robt, G. Jackson, Piano and Voice; Albert Ross, Business Course and Stenography; Miss Nettie Penix, Assistant in Music; Mrs. Fannie Motin, Elocution and Dramatic Art; Teachers in Steam Laundrying, Blacksmithing and Wheelwrighting to be selected. Sam'l Hogg was appointed night watchman, and John Walker, foreman of University farm. Geo. K. Williams will remain Private Secretary to President. NO. 38. The state of Virginia will erect at Newport News a $25,000 school for colored deaf and blind children. Several cities were competitors for its location. If the "Jim Crow" car laws of the individual States have no bearing on interstate passengers, would it not be a good idea to give the Supreme Court of the United States a chance to say so? Dr. Booker T. Washington's presentation of upwards of $1,000 in door receipts for the benefit of the General Conferences at Philadelphia and Norfolk, are further proofs of his active and unselfish interest in the welfare of his people. President Alderman, of the University of Virginia, like Senator Tillman, has been ordered to Europe to recuperate from the effects of overwork. They have been working overtime chasing the will-o' the wisp of social equality, and in trying to make absurd restriction of Negro citizenship square with the broad-guage Constitution of the United States. Providence, Ky., June 1, 08. On Decoration day while all were busy with the celebrations, a mob went to the jail and secured Jake McDonald (one of the men who saved a Negro from being lynched that shot a policeman) and killed him, then returned his body to the jail. It has stired up the whole community, but as yet nothing has been done. Atlanta, Ga., May 31.—The convicts at the state prison farm, near Milledgeville, have appealed to the prison commission for protection against alleged barbarity of Superintendent Coombs. The convicts allege that from 10 to 20 prisoners are fearfully flogged each day for trivial offences and that some have died as a result of the floggings. It is also alleged that the superintendent is in the habit of fastening Negro convicts in coffins, and that several of the Negroes have become insane through fear. It is charged that as many as seven Negroes have been chained in coffins at one time. The prison commission has ordered a thorough investigation. After all the encomiums handed to "the man behind the gun" it is a shock to learn that our naval marksmanship at Santiago was bad. Still, it answered every purpose. The action of the New York man who asked to be chloroformed, admitting that he has outlived his usefulness, seems an admission that he is too lazy to do the job himself.

GOVERNOR BUCHTEL MEANS TO SUPPRESS BETTING ON RACES Denver—Gov. Henry A. Buchtel has sent a letter to the attorney general calling for the enforcement of the law against betting on horse racing. The letter to the law officer of the state is as follows: state is as follows. State House, Denver, Colo. June 8, 1908. The Hon. William H. Dickson, Attor- The Hon. William H. Dickson, Attorney State of Colorado, Denmark, Colo. Rado, Denver, Colo.: Dear Sir--For a long time we have had no prize fighting in Denver. Mayor Speer made an end of this vice shortly after I came into office as governor. At that time no one was able to point out any method by which the governor could secure the execution of the law against the common vices of prizefighting and gambling and illegal liquor selling except by personal appeal. Of necessity all my personal appeals at that time for the execution of the law were made without any publicity. Immediately when you sought authority from me to proceed against the food trust, the way was made plain by which I might proceed against the vices of prize fighting, gambling and illegal liquor selling. Accordingly I issued a letter, December 28, 1907, to all district attorneys and peace officers for the purpose of arousing those officers to a keener sense of their duty under the solemn oaths which they had taken. In that letter district attorneys and peace officers were urged to do their full duty and promise was made to send you into the courts, when such an extraordinary proceeding should be found to be necessary, and after the necessary evidence had been brought by reputable witnesses who would agree to go with you into court to testify to such violations of law. An immediate response was given to that appeal in many quarters. Mayor Speer closed the public gambling places in Denver at once and required the saloons to keep the law. On the 16th of April, 1908, I directed you to proceed against any men who might be found guilty of illegal liquor selling and gambling and kindred vices in the counties of Garfield, Gunison and Ouray. Those three counties were named because so many complaints had been made by reputable citizens of those counties. The best results came out of that letter. Today we have no open gambling and no illegal liquor selling in many towns where the laws have always been violated. All this is good and wholesome. We may now say that the laws are better executed than ever before in the history of Colorado. Certainly we ought now to take another step in advance and insist on the execution of the law in every part of Colorado against prize fighting, open gambling and illegal liquor selling. In this city, where gambling houses have been closed and where the mayor has closed all slot machines it is a ratter of common rumor that an attempt will be made to violate the law by open gambling at the race track. I hope the mayor will act in this matter as courageously as he acted in closing the gambling houses and the slot machines. In the event that he does not act, I hope the district attorney will act as resolutely as he did just before the recent election. "In the event that neither one shall be faithful to his oath of office, we need to remember that we are not thereby exonerated from keeping the solemn oath which we have taken to support the laws. The plain letter of the law is that all gambling is absolutely prohibited. We have no alternative. We must do our utmost to uphold the law. Under our statutes it is made your duty to "appear for the state, prosecute and defend all actions and proceedings civil and criminal, in which the state shall be a party or interested, when required to do so by the governor or General Assembly." I hereby require you to proceed to prosecute any persons who may be guilty of gambling or prize fighting or National Guard Program. Denver:The National guard is booked for a strenuous season. Instead of going into camp at Golden, for the first time in three years a division of the guard will take part in maneuvers, practice marches and rifle matches. According to an order issued by Adjt. Gen. C. A. Kelley, the guard will be represented by a team at the national rifle matches to be held at Camp Perry, Ohio, August 24th. The members of the team will be selected by competition. From August 1st to 10th the First Infantry is ordered to take part in the maneuvers at the Crow Creek reservation, Wyoming, which will be attended by United States soldiers and militia companies from all over the West. Next month the first squadron cavalry will go on a practice march to Colorado Springs, making a distance of 200 miles. The company will camp at Colorado Springs. It will start July 12th and be gone a week. On June 14th and the signal corps will start on a practice march over the mountains to Bailey, a distance of 150 miles. The corps will be mounted. The annual rifle matches of the guard will be held September 12th and September 13th at the state rifle range. The annual individual pistol match will be an interesting feature of the tournament. Will Start on Electric. Florence, Colo.—J. C. Van Law, president of the Business Men's Association, is advised by A. B. Hulit, promoter of the electric line to be built along the Arkansas river, that work on the branch between Pueblo and Canon City will start within thirty days and the road will be completed within the coming year. The Red Creek Granite Quarrying Company has offered a bonus of $65,000 toward the road as soon as it taps the quarry, besides guaranteeing a large freight tonnage selling liquor in defiance of the laws in any part of Colorado when it shall become evident that the regularly-elected peace officers do not propose to keep the solemn oaths which they have taken, and when evidence of such violations of law shall be brought to you by reputable witnesses who will agree to give testimony in court in such prosecutions. The president of the Denver Chamber of Commerce has struck the right note in insisting that the mayor shall prohibit all gambling of every character and that the saloons shall obey the laws. Law-keeping citizens will be glad to know that the Chamber of Commerce has approved the brave words which were spoken by Mr. Scholtz. No commercial organization can put itself on the side of law violation. We say that we want the most purposeful people to come to Colorado and here make homes and here bring up their children. We tell them that the interest of the Colorado people in law keeping and in education and in everything which belongs to the higher life is most commendable. Can we then in the same breath tell them that we encourage race track gambling and that boys and men can be wrecked here by wholesale in broad daylight? No one pretends that bookmaking and betting at the ring-side at a horse race has any influence in improving the breed of horses. Everyone knows that it degrades the breed of men and boys who are intoxicated with the game of betting on results which are said to be fairly well determined in advance. In the San Juan country a school board treasurer lost more than $40,000 in gambling dens. The bonding companies made the loss good—and notified the district attorney that the bonding companies would withdraw entirely from the San Juan country unless the laws were enforced against gambling. The gambling dens were then closed by demand of the bonding companies. The best citizens of that section of the state have assured me that other forms of vice were definitely decreased when the gambling places were closed. We must make haste in Denver to make race-track gambling impossible or we shall be the last city in America to wipe out this demoralizing vice. The knocks against Denver and Colorado have filled the yellow papers of America with a riot of misrepresentation of this city and this state. If we permit race track gambling, what can we say in rejoinder to these derogatory stories. From the most reliable source I learn that Hamilton, Canada, maintains two big races each year and that no betting at all and no bookmaking is permitted. All the state fairs in the nation have now excluded betting and bookmaking. States like Kentucky and Texas which have been conspicuous in permitting betting and bookmaking, have now made an end of this vice. Surely the dirty of Denver and the state of Colorado, now attracting the attention of the nation as never before, need to put themselves squarely and definitely on the side of decency and law keeping. Since you have no officer whom you can send to secure evidence, and since I have no officer whom I can send to secure evidence, we must therefore wait until reputable witnesses shall present evidence to you that the laws have been violated. When such evidence of the violation of the laws against gambling and prize fighting and illegal liquor selling shall be presented to you by reputable witnesses who will agree to go into court and testify to such violations of law, then and in those cases I require you to proceed to prosecute any persons who may be guilty of such violations of law provided it is clear to you that district attorneys and peace officers are neglecting to keep the oaths which they have taken. Very sincerely, HENRY A. BUCHTEL, Governor of Colorado. Power Company Rushing Work. Colorado Springs.—Four hundred men are at work pushing the transmission line of the Central Colorado Power Company into Denver. By November 1st the work will be completed to that point and cheap power will be available, according to information given out in Colorado Springs today. The company will operate in Denver from its Glenwood Springs plant. The line has been completed from Glenwood to Dillon and power is now being distributed in Lake and Summit counties through the subsidiary company at Leadville. A 45,000 voltage is being maintained and this is to be increased to 100,000 volts. The construction men are now at work between Glenwood Springs and Leadville and the line to Denver will be operated from Dillon, over Argentine pass, and taking in Georgetown, Idaho Springs and Golden. The announcement that operations are progressing is interesting in connection with the ultimate purpose of the company to furnish power to all the big enterprises of Colorado. Months ago it was announced the Moffat road and even the Colorado & Southern and the Denver & Rio Grande were figuring on electrifying their lines and operating through the agency of the Central Colorado company and the Eastern Colorado company, which is financed by the same people. The two companies combine a capitalization of nearly $30,000,000, and the scheme is one of the largest, if not the most gigantic, ever undertaken in Colorado. Raton Tunnel Completed. Trinidad, Colo.—The Santa Fe tunnel through the Raton mountain has been completed and turned over to the company. Rats will be laid and trains will be running through it within a week. Work out the tunnel was started March 1, 1907, and it has cost $1,000,000. COLORADO ITEMS The great electric fountain at the City park in Denver is now in operation every night. Farmers near Greeley are complaining that coyotes are becoming so numerous and bold that they nightly visit their yards and carry away poultry. L. C. Larsen has established an automobile line between Longmont and Estes Park. It takes a little less than three hours to make the trip of thirty miles. A Greeley man, who is being sued by a sewing machine company, alleges that his wife was hypnotized by the agent into buying the machine. There are others. J. McGahen will build the McGahen reservoir, 30 miles east of Ault. It will be filled from South Paweee and Crabb creeks and have a capacity of 30,000,000 cubic feet of water. What is said to be the largest fish ever taken out of the Twin Lakes, weighing twenty pounds and four ounces, was caught by Edward Laycock of Denver a few days since. At the election in Holly the municipal water works bond proposition was carried by an almost unanimous vote. The system is to cost about $50,000 and work will be commenced at once. Ranchmen about Barella, in Las Antas county, complain that an unusual loss of live stock is resulting from bites of rattlesnakes, which are more plentiful than for years. The long dry spell is believed to be responsible. Judge Gamble is too ill to preside over the postponed session of the May term of District Court at Greeley and Judge Hubert Shattuck of Denver will hold court and probably be assisted by Judge Burke of the Thirteenth district. At a meeting of the Fort Collins Chamber of Commerce a resolution was adopted expressing the confidence of that body in the ability of the board of agriculture to settle all differences at the college "with full justice to all concerned." Under the provisions of the new currency law Colorado banks are entitled to issue $4,654,000 in new bank notes in the event of a financial stringency. This is the allotment to the state of the $500,000,000 new circulation authorized. L. A. Jackson of Orchard and W. R. Wilson of Denver, have sold to a Denver company a reservoir location fifteen miles north of Fort Morgan. The company will be known as the Chain of Lakes Reservoir & Ditch Company and will water about 2,800 acres. A Jewish sheltering house will soon be established in Denver, the society having already bought a house. It is intended that the home shall be for orphaned children and those children whose parents are too poor to properly support them. Besides it will be a place where mothers who work can leave their children during the day and can be sure that they will receive proper care. The soldiers' monument that stands at the east front of the capitol building in Denver will soon be graced with the statue of a mounted soldier. At a meeting of the monument commission it was found that about $,6000 is available out of the fund for the statue, and negotiations will at once be opened with a Washington firm celebrated for its manufacture of statues. A. J. Lynch, bookkeeper at Sho shone, in Garfield county, was arrested on the 10th inst. charged with forging the name of Lewis Reynolds, superintendent of the Central Colorado Power Company's works. He was bound over to the District Court in $1,000. "I must have been crazy to do it," was the only explanation Lynch would give. He has a wife at Colorado Springs. Senator Henry M. Teller and Mrs. Teller have returned from the session of Congress just concluded, and the senator will remain in Denver now until July 15th, or after the Democratic national convention. He will go East July 15th to attend the meetings of the national currency commission, of which he was appointed a member after the passage of the new currency law. Prosecutions are to be started by the State Stock Inspection Board against cattle owners who have not complied with the dipping order issued in March. The order gave them until June 1st to carry out its terms. Urgent circumstances demanded the dipping of cattle on the eastern slope and the board will see that the full penalty of the law is suffered by cattle owners who are negligent. The new interurban electric road between Denver and Boulder will make a seventy-five cent rate between the two cities and $1.25 for the round trip. The service will be hourly, one hour via the university and Marshall, the other via the "Y" and Louisville. The steam train which leaves Boulder for Denver at 12:25 p. m. and returning reaches Boulder at 3:35 p. m., will be abandoned after June 14th. Mr. and Mrs. Henry T. West, both 84 years old, Union Colony pioneers who have resided at Greeley continuously for thirty-eight years, celebrated the sixty-third anniversary of their marriage on the 10th inst. They had expected to spend the day quietly at the home of their son, George West, but 75 pioneers and friends and members of the W. C. T. U. surprised them by gathering in a body, going to the son's home and spending the afternoon with them. While working as a common miner in the Portland mine at Victor, to gain experience, Charles Fred Moore, a young mining engineer of Denver, lost his balance Sunday morning and was instantly killed after a forty-foot fall to the bottom of a shaft. D. W. Spencer, who died at New Castle, Indiana, on the 6th inst., came to Pueblo with the Santa Fe railway and was one of the pioneer railroad men of the west. For years he was superintendent of bridges and buildings on the Santa Fe, with headquarters at Pueblo. TAFT SURE OF SAFE MAJORITY MANAGERS CLAIM FIVE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-FOUR VOTES ALLIES CONCEDE 539 EITHER ESTIMATE GIVES HIM ENOUGH TO INSURE HIS NOM- INATION Chicago.—The Republican national committee Thursday reached Texas in the alphabetical list of states, while deciding contests for seats on the temporary rail call of the convention. The work of the day settled cases involving two delegations at large, and twenty-one districts, a total of fifty delegates. Of these Taft is certain of forty-nine, and may possibly have fifty. The uncertain delegate halls from the Eighth district of Tennessee, and it is not positively known how he will vote. He belonged to the Oliver faction in that state, the majority of whom were instructed for Taft. When the committee adjourned for the day, counting the number secured by Taft as fifty, his managers claimed a total number of delegates on the temporary roll call actually instructed and not including delegates for Taft, either by endorsement or declaration, to be 554. According to estimates made by the allies the number is 539, this estimate being based on the latest figures issued by the "allies." It is possible that a hard fight will result in the meeting of the resolutions committee over the opposing planks which will be presented by representatives of the American Federation of labor and the National Association of Manufacturers. It has already been announced that a conference of labor leaders is to be held for the purpose of demanding that the platform contain a plank declaring against or at least greatly modifying the use of the injunction in labor disputes. Will Pardon Eggleston. Washington.—James B. Eggleston, formerly of Denver, who was convicted in the United States Court for Colorado of counterfeiting and sentenced to ten years' imprisonment in the federal penitentiary at Leavenworth, is to be pardoned by President Roosevelt. Eggleston had served but a short time in the penitentiary when he was reported insane and was transferred to the government hospital for the insane in this city, where he is now confined. Eggleston is a son of President Eggleston of the Pacific Express Company. At the age of twenty he met with an accident by which he lost his right leg and sustained a fracture of the skull. This, it is said, rendered him at periods morally irresponsible, although he was unusually brilliant in his studies. In Denver he practiced medicine in partnership with a man named Baker. They became involved in a controversy which led to the discovery that Eggleston evidently was equipped to manufacture counterfeit bills and coin, for which he was tried and convicted. His pardon has been determined upon by the President so that he may be given treatment by specialists and cured, if possible, of insanity and the tendency to criminal practices. Bazars for Mothers' Congress Philadelphia.—The executive committee of the National Congress at New Orleans in February, 1908, decided to hold the next National Mothers' Congress at New Orleans in February, 1909. It was also decided to hold four national bazars in as many cities for the purpose of raising money to carry on the work of looking after the welfare of children. One bazar will be held in Philadelphia under the direction of Mrs. William T. Carter, one in Chicago, with Mrs. Louis K. Gellson of that city in charge, one in Denver, under the management of Mrs. Henry J. Hersey of Denver, and one in Los Angeles, which will be in charge of Mrs. Jefferson C. Gibbs of Los Angeles. The bazars will be held simultaneously on December, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. Closing of Oregon Saloons. Portland, Ore.—As the result of the local option elections held in Oregon this month, county prohibition will prevail in twenty-one of the thirty-three counties after July. There are from four to sixteen dry precincts in each of the other twelve counties, so that there is not a county in the state in which there is not some dry territory. A total of 237 saloons were put out of business in the thirteen counties that were carried for prohibition June 1st and this number is increased to 270 by the addition of the saloons that have been removed by the precinct elections in the other counties. Confederates Parade. Birmingham, Ala.—Several thousand veterans took their place in line Thursday for the crowning event of the annual reunion of the United Confederate veterans. At the head of the line rode Gen. Clement A. Evans, the new commander-in-chief. With him were the few distinguished Confederate generals living—Cabelle, Gordon, Walker and the others in the city. Gen. George C. Harrison of Alabama was in command. Sixty thousand persons saw the veterans file through the streets and cheered themselves hoarse. Discharged Because Doctors Could Not Cure. Levl P.

It was a severe trial to Mr. Harding that his only son's memory was not all that could be desired. "Where in the world he got such a forgetful streak from is beyond me," said the exasperated father to his wife on one occasion. "What has he forgotten now?" asked Mrs. Harding, with eyes downcast and a demure expression. "The figures of the last return from the election on the bulletin-board," and Mr. Harding inserted a finger in his collar as it to loosen it, and shook his head vehemently. "Looked at 'em as he came past not half an hour ago, and now can't tell me. "As I said to him: 'If you're so stupid you can't keep a few simple figures in your head, why don't you write 'em down on a piece of paper, as I do, and have done all my life, long before I was your age?'

Denver, Cola, Denver.—Samuel Huston, father of the idea of a national road to extend from Galveston to Yellowstone park, of which the state road now being built by the convicts near Trinidad is a part, is dead at Steubenville, Ohio. Mr. Huston is known far and wide for the part he played in the good roads movement. At the National Good roads convention, called three years ago by Mayor Speer, he acted as president and made many friends in Colorado during his stay. While out here he interested the good roads advocates of Colorado in his plan for the national road and it was through his efforts that the bill was passed in the last Legislature appropriating money for the building of a road which will extend from one limit of the state to the other and will form a link in the national road, should it ever be built. Mr. Huston was a cousin of H. C. Watson, commander of the Department of Colorado and Wyoming G. A. R. Stratton Suit Settled. Colorado Springs.—The case of Dr. W. J.

This leaves only two cases against the estate out of the $2,000,000 litigation filed after the death of Mr, Stratton.

FIRE IN THE GOLD KING MINE RESULTS IN SIX DEATHS, THREE MEN TRAPPED THIRTY FACE DEATH IN HEROIC. ALLY WORKING FOR THEIR RESCUE, Denver.—A News special from Sil- verton Sunday night says: Six men are dead—five of them as the result of trying to rescue men trapped in the Gold King mine by the fire that de- stroyed all buildings on the surface —and seven are in hospitals here re- covering from the fumes of carbonic acid gas. Of these seven, five were members of the first rescue party that went into the mine. One of the three men caught under ground, prey for the deadly and subtle carbonic acid g:s, died as he reached the surface. His two comrades were brought up nearly dead at 3 o'clock this morning with the bodies and with five others who were near breathing their last for the sake of saving others. Silently Silverton paid her tribute to the dead today, when the special trains, bearing 300 volunteers of the second rescue party that was rushed to Gladstone last night, reached the city, with six bodies aboard and bear- ing ‘the seven men whose lives were near ended from deadly fumes. ‘When fire, supposedly the work of ‘an incendiary, swept through all of the buildings of the Gold King at Glad- stone Friday night, it was believed that all of the men underground had es- caped, as well as those sleeping in the ‘bunkhouses. A relief train that was sent from here soon after the fire start- ed, brought back its passengers be- cause it was believed that all were safe. ‘With dawn of yesterday a check of the men returned three missing—Erick- son, Finstrom and Johnson. Nearly every man in camp yolunteered to go below ground, and thirty were chosen to make a search of the gas-filled work- ings for the three men thought to be either lost or helpless. With nearly every man, woman and child standing anxiously about the mine, in silent terror of the death-deal- ing gases below, the thirty rescuers were sent down, Air could not be supplied to them, because all of the ma- chinery was in ruins from the fire, and they knew that their lives might be the price of reaching the three men somewhere far underground. ‘The thirty rescuers went to the fifth level and.,began their search. They found their men but before they could be hoisted the rescuers began to suc: cumb. On the surface the long wait caused a call for more rescuers, and then the two trainloads of men hurried from Sil- verton. Assisted by some of the stronger of the original party, the new volunteers began to take out the living and the dead. By 4 o'clock thirteen of the first par- ty had reached the surface, some of them seemingly nearly dead. The men then set to work with frenzied speed, and continued their efforts until 3 o'clock this morning. ‘The dead are: Victor Erickson, one of three min- ers entrapped in ‘the mine following the fire in the tipple and tram house; Peter McEnaney, Roy Coburn, Axel Johnson, A, W. Burns, Gus Olson. Probably the miner who is in the most serious condition and who is not expected to live, is Herman Matson, who was one of the three entombed miners. John Finstrom, the third one, fs very sick, but he will probably re- cover. Others of the rescuing party who are tn a bad condition by being overcome by gas, are David Louis, Otto Johnson, Mike Anezf, Angelo Anezi, A. Biamco and Frank Wurz. They are expected to recover. Denver Post Endurance Race. Denver.—The Judges in the Denver Post endurance race have announced their decision as follows: “Our decision as the three judges of the Denver Post endurance race {s ‘as follows: “First and second prizes shall be divided absolutely equal between Workman of Cody, Wyoming, and Wy- kert of Severance, Coiorado, the riders of Teddy and Sam. “The third prize shall be awarded to Edwards of Diamondville, Wyom- ing, who rode Sorrel Clipper. “Fourth prize shall be awarded to Kern of Colorado City, who rode Dex. “Fifth prize shall be awarded to Casto, who rode Blue Bell. “The sixth prize is not awarded, for the reason that the sixth horse has not finished at the time of this meet- ing of the Judges, 9.20 p. m.

It wake up to this new condition is will have upon his welfare, u- rites or parties, must be studied, greater care and wisdom than he exercise. LEGITIMATE issues are not always the sole basis or results in political contests. Many elections have been decided purely upon the sentiment involved. This has been the case in the past, at least, but there are growing indications that sentiment in politics is largely a thing of the past. In the local elections personal sentiment may continue to play an important part, but in general elections political parties are relying more and more on cold, scientific principles of government in their appeals to the people. Locally, we may see a cripple elected to office because he is a cripple; or we may see one man elected of office over an apparently better candidate, because of some misfortune which the former has suffered; and sometimes, where equal suffrage prevails, a woman candidate for office defeats a man because she is a woman. But even in local affairs these conditions seem to be passing away. In national affairs perhaps nothing has demonstrated the force of sentiment so much as the conditions arising out of the Civil War. For a long time after the close of the war, an old soldier made a stronger candidate than another man of equal ability but without a war record. The Negro has profited more than any other class, perhaps, on account of the presence in post bellum politics of what might be termed a humane sentiment. While permanent and incontestable political rights of the Negroes have never been fully estaflished, many white men have been elected to office and many favorable opportunities and conditions have been opened and established because of the public sentiment which favored giving the Negro a man's chance in the battle of life. This sentiment, long injected into politics as an issue, and still clung to and relied upon by most all the Colored people as a vital political requisite, is going the way of other worn-out expedients, and the Negro is being left to make the most of the chance that has been given him, by reliance upon his own powers. Political leaders in all parties have contributed to this change, and hereafter, spellbinders who appeal to Colored voters on this score may be considered confessedly insincere. The Negro must wake up to this new condition. The bearing which immediate conditions will have upon his welfare, under one or the other of opposing candidates or parties, must be studied deeply, and he must learn to vote with greater care and wisdom than he has ever heretofore been called upon to exercise. OUR DICTATOR ADO STATESMAN has repealed of Denver and of Colorado re person or persons, or some re whom or which the most im eries of the Colored voters might ever stood, to the end that a more alliance might be maintained. in that the old-time custom of f royalty to the party and of place the four general cumbers of off THE COLORADO STATESMAN has repeatedly urged that the Republican leaders of Denver and of Colorado recognize some representative Colored person or persons, or some reputable organization among us, through whom or which the most important efforts and most reasonable desires of the Colored voters might be intelligently communicated and understood, to the end that a more thorough and more satisfactory political alliance might be maintained. We have repeatedly expressed the opinion that the old-time custom of relying upon the Colored man's blind loyalty to the party and of placating him with campaign promises and the few sporadic crumbs of office which exceptional individual officials might see fit to drop, was not in keeping with the times and the increasing importance of the Colored vote. If our advice has been in any manner responsible for the condition of affairs which exist in the city and state, in which one unauthorized individual has apparently assumed or been endowed with the dictatorship over the political fortunes of the Colored people of the state, we want to express openly to politicians our dissatisfaction with any such presumptuous arrangement and to repudiate the inference that the Colored people accept the situation as an improvement upon former conditions. The insinuating process by which one individual has wormed himself into the confidence of political leaders, the success of which has so inflated the conceit of this unreconized interloper that he has widely claimed absolute control of the political affairs of the Colored people, is not the process which any intelligent class of voters will sanction or long endure. It is a concession, we admit, when politicians put into any Colored man's hands the partial direction of his people's political affairs, but we want such an individual to represent something more than the pliant, truckling servant of political bosses. This man has never stood up for the things that the Colored people demand or the opinion which they hold. He has always sacrificed the better interests of his race to stand in with the official leaders with whom, as a servant, he has been thrown in contact. Instead of aiming to unite the Colored people into a self-asserting force, he has lost no opportunity to oppose those who have honorably striven to give the people this rightful power. Selfishness, and selfishness alone, has characterized his false representation of his people's interests. Not one vote has he ever made for his party, but he has adopted a course and assumed an arrogance which have driven away a considerable element of that party's legitimate support. Such a man was made guardian of a visiting representative of the national government, assumed the dictation of our scattered minor appointments and has now taken for himself the only position which his limited capabilities would permit him to fill. Is he as big as he ought to be? We shall see. GREAT geologist once said: "The nations that have coal and iron will rule the world." Bountiful nature has dowered the American people with a heritage of both coal and iron richer by far than that of any other political division of the earth. What accounts can we, as a nation, give of our stewardship of such vast fuel treasures? Have we carefully conserved them, using only what was necessary in our domestic and industrial life, and transmitted the remainder like prudent husbandmen, unimpaired to succeeding generations? Or have we greatly depleted this priceless heritage of power and comfort and source of world wide influence, by criminal waste and wanton destruction? The answer should bring a blush of shame to every patriotic American, for not content with destroying our magnificent forests, the only fuel and supply of carbon known to our forefathers, we are with ruthless hands and regardless of the future applying the torch and dynamite to the vastly greater resources of this precious carbon which provident Nature has stored for our use in the buried forests of the distant past. The wildest anarchists determined to destroy and overturn the foundations of government could not act in a more irrational and thoughtless manner than have our people in permitting such fearful destruction of the very sources of our power and greatness. The prospect is not a pleasing one to contemplate. True, the natural wealth of our beloved Union is so great and varied; our richness of soil, of forest and stream are so vast if preserved, and their boundless possibilities thoroughly utilized, that we would probably have the advantage of all other nations in the struggle for existence even after our fuel resources have been exhausted, but this is no reason why we should not do everything possible to conserve them so that we may retain to a remote future the great benefits which their possession assures. comfort and source of world wide influence, by criminal waste and wanton destruction? The answer should bring a blush of shame to every patriotic American, for not content with destroying our magnificent forests, the only fuel and supply of carbon known to our forefathers, we are with ruthless hands and regardless of the future applying the torch and dynamite to the vastly greater resources of this precious carbon which provident Nature has stored for our use in the buried forests of the distant past.

It is no doubt true that if we suppose all our intellectual errors and limitations to remain unchanged, and only the feebleness of character which prevents our acting on our convictions removed, an immense improvement would take place in many departments of human life. But it is important not to overlook other inevitable results of the supposed change which certainly would not be improvements. Considerations of this kind have led some thoughtful minds to take an exactly opposite view and to regard it of paramount importance to remove the intellectual source of error in conduct, holding with Socrates that the true good of each individual man really is consistent and harmonious with the true good of all the rest, and that what every man really wants is his own good if he only knew it. Suppose that every one who is liable to drink too much had clearly presented to his mind in the moment of temptation the full amount of harm that his insubriety was doing for his bodily health, his reputation, his means of providing for those who look to him for support; some there are, no doubt, who would drink all the same, but the great majority of those not yet in bondage to the unnatural craving would draw back. Suppose again that any one who is wronging a neighbor saw, as clearly as any impartial judge or friend would see, the violation of right that he is committing, surely only a thoroughly bad man would persist in his wrongdoings. And thoroughly bad men are rare exceptions among the beings of checkered moral natures of whom the great mass of mankind consists. tical purposes if we could only spur or brace our wills into steady action in accordance with our convictions.

Success is absolutely certain to the boy or to the girl who will mark out a course of this kind and stick to it strictly. It is often said that there are not the same opportunities to make money and advance in life that there used to be. In some respects perhaps this is true. Nevertheless in this great country there is still an opportunity to get ahead in the world. to lay up something for a rainy day, to own one's own home, to raise a family respectably, to educate them and to make a well defined place in the community in which they live. The way to do this is to begin right and live right. This way always pays and no other way does. The top rounds of the ladder in ethics, business, professional or political life are empty. The lower rounds are always full. Thus the boys and girls should strive to get to the top, where they will have plenty of room. A The Wise Are Good By PROF. HENRY SIDGWICK. Simple Rules For Success By SEN. NATHAN B. SCOTT, Jr., West Virginia. Nation Reckless of Its Treasures of Wood and Coal By DR. I. C. WHITE, Geologist, West Virginia. Firstly, men do not see their duty with sufficient clearness; secondly, they do not feel the obligation to do it with sufficient force. But there are great differences of opinion among thoughtful persons as to the relative importance of these different sources of wrong conduct. The commonest opinion is disposed to lay stress on the latter, the defect of feeling or will, and even to consider the defect of intellectual insight as having comparatively little practical importance. It is not uncommon to hear it said by preachers and moralizers that we all know our duty quite sufficiently for prac- The rules for success are the simple rules of honesty, truthfulness and upright, clean living. It is the best thing in the world for a young man or girl, either, for that matter, to set down his expenses and receipts and to know every day just where he stands, and to be sure that receipts are in excess of expenditures. If he earns little, spend less; have something on the right side of the account at the end of every month. No young man should have the desire to enjoy the luxury of being dunned for debts that he cannot pay. He should live economically, work in- A. B. B.

Recipe for Vegetable Soup—To Prevent Stained Fingers—Norwegian Fish Balls a Delicacy to Be Appreciated. Soup Without Meat.—Take one can tomatoes, four potatoes, one onion, one carrot, fresh celery, parsley, three cloves, allspice, cayenne pepper, one piece butter size of an egg; add water, season to taste. To the above rice, barley, or any other vegetable desired may be added. If celery is not obtainable use celery salt. Prevent Stained Fingers.—An excellent way to avoid staining the fingers when paring vegetables and fruit, particularly apples, is to wind the thumb and first finger of the right hand with strips of clean cloth. They can be pulled off easily when paring is completed and the stains will be on the cloth instead of the fingers, which invariably become deeply stained from fruit and knife. Cranberry Raisin Pie.—On cup raisins cooked till tender, one large cup cranberries. Have pie crust ready and put in raw cranberries, sprinkle well with sugar; add cooked raisins and liquid they were cooked in. Put on top crust. Good served warm with milk or cream. Fry Doughnuts.—Adding a tablespoonful of vinegar to the lard in which doughnuts or crullers are fried will prevent them from absorbing too much of the fat. Norwegian Fish Balls.—Buy a can of imported Norwegian fishballs, take a good sized lump of butter and a heaping tablespoonful of flour; cook awhile, but do not burn. Then add one pint of milk, recently boiled, and let cook until thick and smooth. In this put fish balls, but not the liquid unless the sauce is too thick. When the balls are well heated add one teaspoonful of sugar, a pinch of salt, and a wee bit of nutmeg, and a small can of lobsters. Fish Chowder.—Three pounds fresh Boston haddock or fresh codfish, cut in four or five pieces; four large potatoes, one-half pound salt pork, cut into dice and fried brown; one large onion chopped fine. Into a medium sized kettle put a layer of the potatoes, then fish, browned bacon, and onion; season with pepper and salt. This is sufficient for two layers of each. Add enough cold water to cover and cook slowly until potatoes are tender. Then add a quart of milk and one-half pound chowder crackers; let come to a boil and it is ready to serve. A Frozen Dainty Without a Freezer. A delicious form of ice cream which requires no freezer to make it is called mousse. It is easy to make and it has the advantage over the plain cream and ice in that it does not need to go into the freezer at all. To make this, boil a cupful of sugar and a cupful of water till they will thread; beat stiff the whites of three eggs and slowly pour the syrup over, beating steadily; when it is all in, beat till the whole is cold, then flavor, fold in a pint of whipped cream, and put it all in a covered pail and bury it in a pail of ice and salt for four hours. This, like the other ices, can be flavored with coffee or fruits, or it may be served as it is, with fresh fruits around the mold; or crushed macaroons can be put in, or nuts and coloring matter can be added; a pale green mousse flavored with a little pistache is very delicate and attractive, especially if served in glasses on a hot day—Dellineator. Pineapple Tipsy. Cut the top from a large, very ripe pineapple. Also cut sufficient from the stalk end to make it stand firmly on a platter. Now remove all the inside portion of the pineapple, tearing it away with a fork and leaving nothing but the hollow case. Remove the hard pieces of the fruit and cut into small dice. Put these into a deep dish with an equal amount of fresh strawberries, cut in halves. Sprinkle liberally with granulated sugar and cover with a wine glass of sherry, place on the ice for an hour, occasionally basting the fruit with the syrup which forms. Put the pineapple case in the ice box. When ready to serve, add half a cupful of nut meats to the fruit mixture, fill the pineapple case and serve on a platter garnished with geranium leaves. Burnt Almond Ice Cream Three quarts of cream, one pound and a half of sugar, six ounces of shelled almonds, a little vanilla. Place the almonds into a small copper pan with four or six ounces of the sugar, set on the fire and stir until the sugar is melted and coats the nuts all over, then pour out on a buttered dish or pan to cool. When cold and hard, pound in a mortar, sift through a No. 40 sieve and repeat until all is reduced to a fine powder. Mix this almond powder with the cream and then cook all the materials, let cool, then freeze. Should the color of the cream be too light, add a few drops of caramel or burnt sugar.—What-to-Eat. Original Rice Cream. Three tablespoons of rice in a cup of boiling water in double boiler; let cook till water is absorbed, add one pint milk, piece of butter, three tablespoons of sugar and a little salt; cook till rice is tender, take off the stove, add the beaten yolks of two eggs, stirring constantly; set back on stove for a couple of minutes, always stirring so eggs won't string; flavor with vanilla; frost with beaten whites browned in the oven; add sugar to whites.

Thorouge Discipline, Christian Influence Careful Supervision. The Funny Things One Sees in Smiling Round the World By MARSHALL P. WILDER (Copyright, by Joseph B. Bowles.) A first drive in Cairo is a joy—the objects of interest are so unceasing and so replete with historical meaning. The first thing to stir one's memory is the opera house, built in six weeks, so there might be a fitting home of song for the company of great French sing- ers brought over by the royal spend- thrift Ismail to assist in the gorgeous celebration attending the opening of the Suez canal. Here was given the first performance of Verdi's opera "Aida," written expressly for the occasion. The performance was further unique from the fact that Mariotte Bey, the great Egyptologist and discoverer of the Rossetta stone, gave his attention to the production, so that every detail of scenery, costume and plot was historically correct, while the Egyptian museum was ransacked for properties and jewels. It was probably the greatest stage production ever seen, or that ever could be given, and was only possible at a time when Ismail spent $21,000,000 on the celebration attending the opening of the canal that was, first and last, his country's ruin. In the Monski, as well as other characteristically native streets on the way to the bazaars, every phase of life may be seen. Open shops, scarcely six feet across, with imperturbable proprietors smoking waterpipes, a constant procession through the streets of donkeys, carts loaded with veiled women, camels treading stealthily, one of which was seen daintily nibbling at the flowers on the Parisian bonnet of the lady in a victoria just ahead. Flocks of geese and turkeys might be seen driven along the street by vendors, who guide them with a little switch, keeping them under perfect control. Very laughable is the rivalry between the keepers of the bazaars and bitter the denunciation that fills the ear of the foreigner as he stops to make a purchase. The strange medley of tongues and the stranger pronunciation of his own language makes the buyer stare and then double up with laughter. If he selects an article from the stand of the merchant on his right the proprietor of the stand on his left will shriek in his ear: "No buy of heem! Heem verra bad man! Heem tief! Heem fadder tief! Heem mudder tief! His granfader tief! Heem granmudder tief! No buy of heem!" While the imperturable proprietor on the right will respond in a low guttural, like a bass solo following a soprano cadenza: "Heem big liar! Heem go jail! Heem got notting! Me got ebberying! Look you! Shmakkin kip (smoking cap), packet snif (pocket knife), 'ooble-booble (hubble-bubble, or waterpipe), preea-beed (prayer beads, or rosary)." Then, with a shout of triumph: Shlippers all! Shlippers mooch! Beada shlippers! Silika shlippers! Golda shlippers! Me got all! Heem big liar! Heem go jail!" and so on ad infinitum. By which my reader will perceive that shopping in Cairo is not all of heaven, nor yet of the other place, and that the amentities are much subordinate to that love which is the root of all evil. A wedding is quite likely to follow next in the wonderful street procession. First a clown or mountebank, dancing, grimacing, rolling in the dirt, going through all sorts of antics for the amusement of the people. He is followed by men playing on a collection of shrieking and wailing musical instruments. Then comes the bride, sometimes in a closely-shuttered carriage, draped with tinsel-trimmed velvet, or, what is much more picturesque, a curtained litter slung between two camels. After her comes the furniture for her new home, for a bride is expected to provide everything, even to the bridegroom's trousseau. This plenishing is all piled on camels, who go swaying along, sneering superciliously as if deploring the foolishness of these human customs. A camel's expression of conscious superiority must be rather trying, if one sees much of it. It seems almost a waste of time to have so much ceremony attend so easily dissolved a relation as marriage is in Cairo. A man, with or without any just cause, has only to say before witnesses, "Woman, I divorce thee!" and repeat it three times, and he is as free as before he married her. He has to return to her her house plenishing and she returns her dowry to him. This dowry consists of one-third of a man's possessions, which he settles on her when he marries her. According to the Mohammedan faith a man may have four wives, that is, all to onct, as they say in the west. He may divorce and re-marry, still keeping to his allowance of four, as many times as he likes. All these sights, and many more may be seen during a drive to see the dancing, or, more properly, whirling dervishes, who dance every Friday afternoon. Friday is the Mohammedan Sunday, and in the afternoon they conduct this performance, which is a religious ceremony, but palpably worked up for the benefit of the hundreds of tourists who flock to see it. The performance takes place on an inclosed circular floor, with rugs about the edge, upon which at the beginning the dervishes, to the number of about 16, sit, wrapped in big black cloaks and wearing tall felt hats. The sheik, in a green turban, sits on a rug of extra elegance, with the koran on a cushion in front of him: A solo on a walling flute opened the performance, piercing squeals and breathless trills putting our nerves and teeth on edge, until an unseen man in the balcony cuts it short by beginning to intone in a high-pitched voice a long incantation about a young person by the name of Mall; at least her name was all we heard. After that the dervishes arose, cast their cloaks on the ground and stood revealed in white robes, with exceedingly full skirts, from under which their bare feet peeped out. Then they began a solemn procession about the space, bowing to their neighbors either way as they reached the rug of the sheik. This was done three times, the men walking and bowing, not without grace and dignity. Suddenly, as the third round was completed, the first man flung out his arms and began to spin round and round, his skirts standing away stiffly from his limbs. One could not but expect to see him suddenly duck, his skirts billowing up around him, as little girls do when they play the game of "making cheeses." Momentarily he was joined by others, until the ring became filled with whirling figures, each holding its arms and head in some distinctive position, some going about sedately in one spot, while others piuetted alrily in and out among the other dancers. One man had his arms held out in a singularly appealing manner, while his head was cuddled down on his shoulder, giving him a ridiculously coy expression. This is the last act, for after about 15 minutes of this whirling the dervishes cease, resume their cloaks and the performance is over. From there we were driven to see the howling dervishes, a different de Smoking Waterpipes. nomination who conduct their religious worship on different lines. The commercial instinct of this sect seems more highly developed than that of the other, for here the sum of two plastees each was charged for admittance. As we entered the door a great volume of sound greeted us and rose and fell like the sound of men's voices chanting. Here was another inclosed circular space, another venerable sheik in green turban and about 20 dervishes seated around the rail, all chanting: "Allah il Allah!" their bodies swaying from side to side as they shouted the assertion that "God is God" over and over again. They next stood up and, swaying back and forth convulsively, emitted gusty sighs that gradually grew into horrible noises as leader after leader sprang in front of them, setting the pace faster and faster, a new leader taking the place of the exhausted one as he turned and bowed to the sheik, signifying that he could do no more. All this time a blind sheik chanted unceasingly in a high piccolo voice. The bodies swayed and jerked more and more quickly, the noises grew to frenzied howls and animal-like sounds that reminded one forcibly of the zoo at feeding time. A tall, gaunt desert priest stepped in front of the men, bowing and swaying, his long hair alternately covering his face and tossed back over his shoulders. Under his leadership the dervishes became frantic, their eyes were glazed, foam flew from their lips and some fell prone from exhaustion. We stayed to see no more, but hurried out, followed by the volume of inhuman cries and howls. THE B.L. JAMES M. & M. CO.

Day, the brilliant chancellor of Syracuse university, was discussing his recent assertion that some ministers preach in a sensational manner, usurping the place—an undesirable place at best—of the sensational press. "These men," he said, "interpret the scriptures to their own advantage. They are precisely like a magistrate they used to laugh about in Whitneyville. One of his decisions gained him the title of the 'Maine Solomon.' "Two women came before this magistrate with a fine pullet, each declaring that it belonged to herself. The magistrate from his high seat, frowned heavily at the first woman. "Does this pullet belong to Mrs. Jones?" he asked her. "No, indeed, it don't sir,' she replied. "Then he turned to the other woman. "Does this pullet belong to Mrs. Smith? "It certainly does not,' the second woman replied. "The pullet,' the maglstrate then decreed, 'does not belong to Mrs. Jones nor does it belong to Mrs. Smith. The pullet is mine. Janitor take it around to the house and give it to my cook."

The Seven Prophesi "The late Duke of Devonshire," said a diplomat at a Washington dinner, "kept a stud and took a calm and ducal interest in the races. "There was a certain sporting paper that kept a large staff of prophets and always proshesied the outcome of important races. The duke, for some reason put great reliance in these prophets and their prophesies. He always read the paper, and he continually recommended it to his friends. "But once at Goodwood, at the day's end, a man came up to the duke and said: "What of your paper now? Did you see it this morning? Six prophets proshesied that six different horses would win, and here only seven ran, and the winner was the seventh, which no prophet had selected. Well, what have you to say now?" "All I have to say," the duke answered calmly, "is that there's room for another prophet on that paper." Denver Directory Denver Directory $22 C. O.D.

I do so most heartily."-Julia Marlowe. Any remedy that benefits digestion strengthens the nerves. The nerve centers require nutrition. If the digestion is impaired, the nerve centers become anemic, and nervous debility is the result. Peruna is not a nervine nor a stimulant. It benefits the nerves by benefiting digestion. Peruna frees the stomach of catarrhal congestions and normal digestion is the result. In other words, Peruna goes to the bottom of the whole difficulty, when the disagreeable symptoms disappear. Mrs. J. C. Jamison, Wallace, Cal., writes: "I was troubled with my stomach for six years. Was treated by three doctors. They said that I had nervous dyspepsia. I was put on a liquid diet for three months. "I improved under the treatment, but as soon as I stopped taking the medicine, I got bad again. "I saw a testimonial of a man whose case was similar to mine being cured by Peruna, so I thought I would give it a trial. "I procured a bottle at once and commenced taking it. I have taken several bottles and am entirely cured." WHERE THE DANGER LAY. Listeners in Greater Peril Than Was Ambitious Musician. There was never a more conscientious young man than Eben Soule, and when he found how much absorbed he had become with the mere idea of playing in the town band, he consulted his minister. "Do you reckon I could give up all that time to music without falling from grace?" he asked, anxiously. The good old Methodist had a saving sense of humor. He saw that his parishioner was much distressed between his wishes and his conscience, but the minister smiled on him, nevertheless. "It's the horn you're asked to play, I hear," he said. "Ever had much experience with it, Eben?" "Never tried it but once, but I like the sound of it first-rate," said the young man. "M'm!" said the minister. "Well, I think you needn't be afraid of falling from grace on account of it, but I do hope you'll manage things so your family and neighbors won't have to pass through the fiery temptation of hearing you practice too often, Eben"—Youth's Companion.

Mrs. Jones often declared that she enjoyed a little chat with their fish-dealer because he was a man of such original ideas, but one day, says London Opinion, she returned from market somewhat puzzled by his remarks.

AGAIN DECLINED WITH THANKS. Would-Be Contributor "Up Against" the Misanthropic Editor. The editor looked up as the caller came forward, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

"Are you a married man, sir?" "No," replied the caller, "I am not married." The editor laughed harshly. "You should choose subjects," he said, "with which you have had an opportunity to become familiar." And he handed back the essay on "Woman and Her Defects." TORTURED SIX MONTHS By Terrible Itching Eczema—Baby's Suffering Was Terrible—Soon Entirely Cured by Cuticura. "Eczema appeared on my son's face. We went to a doctor who treated him for three months. Then he was so bad that his face and head were nothing but one sore and his ears looked as if they were going to fall off, so we tried another doctor for four months, the baby never getting any better. His hand and legs had big sores on them and the poor little fellow suffered so terrily that he could not sleep. After he had suffered six months we tried a set of the Cuticura Remedies and the first treatment let him sleep and rest well; in one week the sores were gone and in two months he had a clear face. Now he is two years and has never had eczema again. Mrs. Louis Leck, R. F. D. 3, San Antonio, Tex., Apr. 15, 1907." Curious Indian Custom. The following curious custom is recorded by J. Owen Dorsey in his monograph on the sociology of the Omaha Indians: "In the spring when the grass comes up there is a council or tribal assembly held to which a feast is given by the head of the Hanga geno. After they decide that planting time has come and at command of the Hanga man a crier is sent through the villages. He wears a robe with hair outside and cries as he goes. 'They do, indeed, say that you will dig the ground!' Hallo!' He carries sacred corn, which has been shelled and to each household he gives two or three grains, which are mixed with the seed corn of the household." After this it is lawful for the people to dig up the soil and plant their crops. A Matter of Time.

It was not a north room, either, where yellow is so very helpful in brightening a cold quarter of the house, but it was one of the sunny eastern rooms. The walls were covered with yellow paper—one of the old-time chintz prints—without a border, and the ceiling, was a bright cream. A molding of gold was placed at the dividing space between walls and ceiling. The furniture of this room was a light oak, an imitation of mission furniture, and the plain bed, dresser and wash stand were trimmed with white dotted swiss over yellow covers. The pictures—and they were few, though lively selections—were small with good gold frames—that little narrow gold material that sells for three cents a foot. The floor was painted a yellow to match the walls, then highly varnished and the rugs were yellow, all edges bound with cloth to make them more substantial and protect edges from fraying. Three windows were draped alike on one side of the room, while between them was placed a large yellow wood table, covered with house plants. Every blind was pulled to the ceiling, the sunshine flooded the room and it would be impossible to find a prettier room any place, unless, perhaps, its chief charm was luxuries. A Linen Gown. At a fashionable southern resort not long ago was seen an extremely modish gown of rough white linen, greatly resembling the rough-weave pongee. The material was handsome and cut in the latest jacket-suit style, with a cutaway coat, long sleeves and a miniature linen vest of barred white damask. The coat was trimmed with large white buttons on the front and the sleeves were trimmed with small buttons in wide braid buttonholes from the bottom of the cuffs to the elbows. A panel effect on the skirt was trimmed down both sides with small white buttons in braid buttonholes. The waist worn with this was a heavy white Irish lace. Sheer Ruffling. Some women have a fancy for plain, sheer ruffling, and they like it better than lace or embroidery for trimming underwear. For such there are dainty frillings, which come in all widths, some of which are hemstitched, while all are supplied with a drawing-string by which to gather them. These are easily applied to the edge of hems, as there are no raw edges to be disposed of. The trimming is quaint and reminds one of grandmother's linens plied with tiny stitches and redolent of lavender. A Stiff Lingerie Collar. When wearing one of those soft collars, sold as a turn-over collar, which is too fine to stand any starch, it is a very good idea to cut the band from a man's collar and fasten it about the neck, tying over it a ribbon to which is attached the soft collar. In this way a trim effect will be maintained, and the heavy linen is so stiff that no amount of feminine wear and tear will break it down. Enjoyable Entertainment Suitable for Summer Months. A simple but unique morning card party may be given by the hostess who has a lawn or large porch on which to entertain her guests. Cover the tables with green cheese cloth in a pretty shade. For tally cards use leaves from the oak or maple tree, as these are good shape and do not wither easily. Gold paper stars or circles are used to keep score, and may be had at any stationer's. The prizes may be a dainty white fan with possibly a suggestion of green for first prize, and a huge palm leaf with a bow of green ribbon for the booby. The refreshments are sandwiches of lettuce, olives, nasturtium or any other delicate green filling, and ice tea served with lemon and long stalks of mint. After this, ices with mint cherries served in white paper cases, with little wire handles wrapped in green paper. On each handle fasten a white butterfly cut from paper and marked a little with water color paint. Plain white and green iced cakes may be used, or a white cake with a touch of pistachio in the filling. Green and white peppermints may be served during the game or after the ices.—Woman's Home Companion. TEA GOWN IN EMPIRE DESIGN. A Tunic Effect in Front Provides the Smart Note in Its Drapery. Empire tea gown of turquoise blue liberty satin with tunic effect at front. The chemisette is of ivory tulle A over gold tulle. Rosettes and pendant of gold ribbon trim sleeves and corsage. The hem of gown is embroidered in gold and turquoise, and gold ribbon flower medallions are placed at intervals.—Vogue. S&N GARMENT STORE 925-16TH ST. OPP JOSLINS Our Annual June Clearance Sale.

Woman Puts Money on Horse Suggested by a Vision. New York.—Mrs. Tessie Crawford, the youthful wife of John D. Crawford, proprietor of the Crawford house of Jamaica, says that she won a fortune at the Belmont park track a fortnight ago by placing a bet upon a horse whose name she dreamed. It was the first bet she had ever made, and she plunged. This is her story: Early Sunday morning, May 17, she shook her husband, and in a frightened voice demanded that he save her from a mouse that was chasing her about a field. "A what?" demanded her sleepy spouse. "A field mouse. Oh, there he comes! Help! Help!" she cried. "Forget it and go to sleep; we aren't in camp," said Mr. Crawford, sleepply. Mrs. Crawford looked through the morning papers and found a horse named Field Mouse entered. Then she grew excited. "John, my dream means that Field Mouse is going to win a race to-day," she said. "I'm going to bet on him." Mr. Crawford told her that it would be money thrown away, but she held to her belief that her dream was a bona fide tip and he finally consented, she says, to permit her to put $100 on the horse. The next day she sent the money down by her husband's son, Charles Crawford, 18 years old, who is nearly as old as his handsome stepmother. Charles carried along five dollars of his own. The odds on Field Mouse were 10 to 1. LOVE NOT TEACHERS' ONLY LURE Many Women Educators Quit for More Lucrative Positions. New York.—The popular idea that woman teachers leave the public schools to get married and for no other reason is not borne out by a study of the statistics of the board of education. A partial list compiled of the teachers who have resigned to enter upon lucrative business occupations shows that the young women who are bright enough to teach are bright enough for more profitable work. The first year's salary of a school teacher is $600 or $1.66 a day, with an annual increase of about ten cents a day until after 17 years the maximum salary of $1,240—less than $22 a week—is reached. The salaries paid to women in the other city departments are greatly in excess of these, and telephone operators receive more than many school teachers, though it does not require 14 years of preparation to master the mysteries of the switchboard. Scores of former teachers are now filling much more lucrative positions in other lines of endeavor. WON $10,000 BET ON WEATHER. Jim O'Leary Wagered It Would Rain Eighteen Days in May. Chicago—Rain Decoration day put Jim O'Leary's $10,000 bet that it would rain 18 days in May beyond dispute. "I'll give you my dope," said O'Leary. "Four years ago a stockman called my attention to the weather predictions of a Prof. Hicks of St. Louis, I bet Hicks' spring dope for three years and won. This year he predicted cyclones and rains for 21 days in May. "On May 1 a brokerage firm called me up and asked me if I would like to take a bet on May weather, and when I learned what it was I agreed. The man I am betting with is a Chicagoan of sporting tendencies who would bet $5,000 on the drop of a hat. Of course he has his system of weather judging, and it is pretty good. It has rained 20 days. "By following Hicks I have never failed to win a bet on the weather. Last winter I won $8,000, and the winter before $15,000, on a bet about the temperature." WINS BET BY SILENCE. Man Piles Brick for Six Hours Without Answering Questions. St. Louis.—The open season for fool bets is on in St. Charles, a suburb of St. Louis. That's the reason for the queer antics of Edward Boston. Boston went to work at 7 a. m. to furnish diversion for a big crowd at Fifth and Decatur streets, the busiest corner in town. On a wager of five dollars with six young men, whose names he would not divulge, he agreed to work ten hours without speaking to any one. All he had to do was to pile six bricks on the curb on one side of the street and then carry them over to the other side and pile them there, and back again and back again all day long. Several hundred persons watched him as he trudged back and forth with the bricks. They asked him questions and hurled taunts at him, but he kept his lips tightly shut, and at 5 p. m. he had won the bet. Bride-to-Be Sues Railroad Holdenville, Okla.—Mrs. Mary Jones would have became the wife of an Oklahoma City millionaire, whose name she refuses to disclose, if the floods had not kept her from reaching the state metropolis. The failure of a railway company to take her to Oklahoma City in time for the wedding is the basis of a suit for $50,000 in damages which the angry widow declares she will file. The loss of a husband and a million did not suit her, and she grew so angry on the train that she sought consolation in relating to her fellow detained passengers the story of her courtship and engagement.
