LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY Notable Facts On the Political Issues of the Campaigns of 1908 by Hon. Joseph H. Stuart, who Wisely Points out Some Interesting Facts. VOL. XIV. Notabl On the Political Issues of the Joseph H. Stuart, w Some Intere In a former article it was pointed out that the state went anti-Republican five times during the past sixteen years. It was further shown that of the four United States senators elected during the last period of twelve years Democracy won three. Governors and United States senators being the highest and most influential officers of a state, we canat escape the conclusion that Colorado in recent years has been more of a Democratic than a Republican state. Let us come nearer home. Let us take a look at the political situation here in Denver for the past few years. For after all close and steady attention to local politics is the rock basis of all political success. Take care of the units immediately under your eye and the tens, hundreds, thousands and millions will automatically take care of themselves. "As Denver goes so goes Colorado," is a saying often heard. If this were always true the outlook would seem not very bright for Republican success, in view of the fact that the city at the recent spring election chose the Democratic candidate for mayor. But four years ago the Democratic party made a clean sweep in the city election, yet in the fall campaign of that year the Republicans won in city, county and state. Normally the general tendency of politics in Denver is without doubt Republican. But in a great and rapidly growing city like this, where a variety of important interests, often in their formative stage must be taken care of and promoted, political sentiment is frequently subordinated to business exigencies, and the man or men best fitted to carry forward and exploit these projects (shall we call them infant industries?) are chosen for office regardless of party affiliation. Thus it is our present mayor has been twice elected. Therefore the result of the late city election affords no standard for the measurement of the relative strength of the two great parties, since each lent to the other a large quota of its voting forces, of which, however, the numerical strength could not be in either instance accurately known. In this election the colored citizens sharing the liberal and progressive spirit with other citizens freely cast their votes for the winning candidate, Mr Speer. He had been a very efficient executive. The city had greatly im- --- State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House ed by Patre COLORA e Facts e Campaigns of 1908 by Hon. ho Wisely Points out osting Facts. proved in beauty and advanced in prosperity during his four years of administration, and like patriotic citizens as they are they wisely reasoned that what is best for the community in general is best for them. So that the remarkable and unprecedented fact was broadly in evidence that a majority of these hitherto reliable Republicans—the old guard, so to speak—went to the polls and voted for Mr. Speer. They proved to be his mascots. His election by a majority of less than 2,500 may be fairly credited to this Negro vote alone. For it is estimated that considerably more than one-half of these voters supported the winning ticket. They found themselves in company with a great many of the very best and most influential Republicans, business men of the highest standing in the community, men who had built up the city, whose interests are many, great and varied, who love Denver and are bending every energy and using every resource of brain and capital to make her a city of the very first rank. And these colored voters simply followed the example set them by such good and distinguished Republicans. But the result shows what a powerful factor the colored contingent can be if its strength is intelligently directed. But other considerations of a human kind also influenced the colored elector, one of which at this time may be mentioned in passing. Under the present mayor's administration it was claimed that a greater number of colored men had found lucrative employment than under previous regimes. I have personal knowledge that there was a greater number of patrolmen than ever before. These things count. For after all is said, the bread-and-butter argument is the most powerful and effective in the entire armory of arguments. It is that which will always capture the undecided voter. Patriotism and party loyalty are indeed great virtues. They are sentiments that will ever spur the citizen to great and heroic deeds, to sublime self-abnegation and personal sacrifice. But in the ordinary prosaic affairs of life, when no great moral issue or principle of justice or civil right is at stake, and it is merely a question of men or policies in the nature of things not very far apart the quick and satisfying answer to the prayer "Give us this day our daily bread," is the weapon that ```markdown ``` onizing Tho ADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, S. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JULY 18 1908. will act as a foil to the most brilliant rhetoric and the most pleasing preachments on party record and party fealty. In the campaign on which we are about to enter the Republican party will not wholly rely on its glorious record, or on its superior capacity for government, or the beautiful exposition of its square deal to all citizens alike. It will come down to where the people live today and meet them on the ground. Against Mr. Bryan's pleasing and seductive vagaries of free trade and socialism and the like, Republican orators will ring the changes on the "full dinner pail" which has been made possible and will continue under Republican administration. That is an argument that the dullest can understand. It has won more than one national election. It is equally potent in local elections. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES The respectable and cultured of the race must set the pace for others to follow. It is only in this way that we can hope to lead the lower classes to higher planes of living. Chas. Alyston Smythwich, a graduate of Shaw and Yale University, won the Parker prize, having written the best thesis on "Roman law." He graduated from the department of law at Yale, June 14th, 1908. The colored Knights of Pythias, of New Orleans, La., layed the corner stone of their new temple, it is to be a seven story building, to be used as an office building as well as a lodge hall, the building will cost $200,000. Pittsburg, July 8.—A call was issued here today for an eastern inter state Negro press convention to be held in Pittsburg the first three days of September. The call states, in part: "We believe the political situation, as far as the Negro is concerned, is in a critical state, and that something must and can bedone by the united effort of the Negro press." Frederick, Md., July 2.—A sentence of $20 fine and twenty lashes to be laid on his back, was imposed on David Jones, colored, by Justice John Francis Smith for wife-beating. Monday, Jones was arrested and prayed a jury trial at which time Justice Smith imposed a fine of $50, but subsequently he was brought before the justice, who imposed this unusual punishment. Cleveland June 29.—Marie C. C. Bolden, the 13 year old girl in the championship spelling match captured the first prize by spelling correctly 500 words spelling 400 orally and writing 100. There were children from New Orleans, Erie, Pa., Pittsburg and other places. When the gold badge was pined on her as the champion child speller in the United States she was roundly cheered by fully six thousand people, who witnessed the contest more than 500 teachers were present. Mrs. Sam Lucas, the wife of Sam Lucas, the well known actor and comedian, was shot and killed in Providence, R. I., June 29, by Harry Roberts, who also wounded Mrs. Edna Edmunds and 'killed himself. Mrs Edmunds keeps a boarding house on Winter avenue, and Roberts boarded with her, and Mrs. Lucas was employed as seam stress. Roberts' mind it is thought had been unbalanced for some time on account of the use of too much liquor on frequent occasions. At the time of her death Mrs. Lucas was known as Mrs Lloyd. Washington, July 7.—Among the many changes in the civil service incident to the beginning of a new fiscal year the promotion of Henry E. Baker, of the patent office, will prove of general interest to Afro-Americans. Mr. Baker has attained the rank of second assistant examiner, with a salary of $2,100. He holds the most important scientific position of any Negro in the public service, and his salary exceeds that of any colored government employee not holding a presidential appointment. Mr. Baker received his education at the Annapolis Naval Academy and at Howard University. He has been employed in the interior department for over twenty-five years where he has risen step by step through competitive examination to his present position. Milwaukee, Wis., July 3.—Negroes having proper credentials will be admitted to study in German seminaries in this country. Under the head of unfinished business, before the German-American Educational Association Convention today, a Mrs. Neebs, teacher in one of the Cincinnati schools told of an unusually bright colored pupil in the school she teacher. Mrs. Neebs said the pupil was especially apt in study of the German language and that it was the pupil's desire to continue her studies in German when she graduated that she might members of her race. Director Max Griebsh of the Milwaukee German-English Academy, was asked if the colored girl would be admitted if application were made. He lost no time in making a reply in the affirmative, providing the pupil could furnish sufficient credentials. SOLDIERS On Athletic Field. Men of Ninth and Tenth Cavalry and Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth Infantry Win Bulk of Prizes at the Annual Meet in the Philippines. Washington, D. C., July 8.

A custom house clerk, who, prior to his entry into Uncle Sam's service, was a schoolteacher "a good many years yet," as he proudly informs his associates, was standing on the corner of Fifth and Chestnut streets one cold day last winter, deeply engrossed in studying a legend which appeared on a dairy man's wagon, as follows: "Pasteurized milk," etc. His face wore a puzzled expression, but finally betraying evidence of dawning intelligence he remarked to a bystander: "Ain't these here Philadelphia milkmen a-gettin' to be just as deceitful as anything! Pasturized milk, eh? But they can't fool me, 'cause I lived in the country, and know you can't pasture cows in winter."

A "perfect lady" was charged in the police court with having broken her umbrella over the head of another "perfect lady." "What have you to say to the charge?" asked the magistrate. "It was an accident, your honor." "Do you mean to say that after smashing an umbrella over this woman's head you claim it was an accident?" "Sure, yes; but I meant not to break my umbrella." DIFFERENT NOW Athlete Finds Better Training Food. It was formerly the belief that to become strong, athletes must eat plenty of meat. This is all out of date now, and many trainers feed athletes on the well-known food, Grape-Nuts, made of wheat and barley, and cut the meat down to a small portion once a day. "Three years ago," writes a Mich. man, "having become interested in athletics, I found I would have to stop eating pastry and some other kinds of food. "I got some Grape-Nuts, and was soon eating the food at every meal, for I found that when I went on the track, I felt more lively and active. "Later, I began also to drink Postum in place of coffee, and the way I gained muscle and strength on this diet was certainly great. On the day of a field meet in June I weighed 124 lbs. On the opening of the football season in Sept., I weighed 140. I attribute my fine condition and good work to the discontinuation of improper food and coffee, and the using of Grape-Nuts and Postum, my principal diet during training season being Grape-Nuts. "Before I used Grape-Nuts I never felt right in the morning—always kind of 'out of sorts' with my stomach. But now when I rise I feel good, and after a breakfast largely of Grape-Nuts with cream, and a cup of Postum, I feel like a new man." "There's a Reason." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. 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 full of human interest.

THE WESTERN FEDERATION PRESIDENT MOYER'S ADDRESS AT MINERS' CONVENTION IN DENVER. SCORES ROOSEVELT FEARS UNFAIR TREATMENT AT HANDS OF THE COURTS Denver.—In his address to the delegates of the Western Federation of Miners' annual convention in this city Wednesday, President Charles H. Moyer favored a working arrangement between this organization and the United Mine Workers of America and declared that he would not oppose affiliation with the American Federation of Labor, though he did not consider it advisable. He urged peaceful methods for reaching working agreements with employers, deplored the calling of strikes unnecessarily and recommended changes in the constitution to require local unions to consult with the executive council before ordering a strike. The reports made to the convention showed a considerable decrease in the federation's membership during the last year, which is attributed to the fact that nearly 20,000 miners have been thrown out of work because of strikes and the financial troubles since last fall. President Moyer in his report refers to dissensions in the ranks of the organization and expresses the hope that the defeated minority may bow to the will of the majority in all matters for the common weal. Eight strikes were held during the year just closed, according to the report, the miners gaining better conditions in several instances. The strike on the Mesota range in Minnesota which was called July 30, 1907, and which resulted in complete defeat for the miners and the virtual destruction of every local union in the state, is characterized as an unwise and premature affair, that was doomed to failure almost as soon as commenced. The sending of United States troops by President Roosevelt into the Goldfield district during the strike last fall is condemned in strong language. Special attention is paid to the trouble that has arisen between the federation and the Industrial Workers of the World. President Moyer says that it is his belief that industrial unionism is by no means popular and is not wanted by the working class of the United States. Credit is given in the report for the educational work in which the Federation has been engaged and the good results achieved. The death of John H. Murphy, counsel for the Federation for a number of years, is regretfully mentioned and a tribute paid to his memory. The trial of Steve Adams is spoken of and the hope expressed for his speedy acquittal. In concluding the report, President Moyer uses this significant language in referring to the political situation: "There has just adjourned in this city a national convention of one of the old political parties. Before the committees of this convention there appeared labor's representatives, praying that there might be inserted in the platform an anti-injunction plank. This prayer, as I am informed, was granted and it is now for the voters of the United States to decide whether or not this party should be placed in power. For be it from me to say anything or do anything that might interfere with labor's effort, organized or unorganized, to temporarily better its condition but have we any assurance or reason to expect an interpretation of these laws favorable to labor if they be enacted? "Mr. Mitchell is quoted as being particularly gratified at having included in this plank, the right of the workers to organize. When we remember that federal judges by their interpretation of the laws have vested supreme power in the executive of a state and that no court may inquire into his acts and when, as Mr. Mitchell says, the Supreme Court of the land has so construed the laws as to make it a crime for labor to organize, what we have to hope for by placing further laws in the statutes?" Important Water Right Decision Boulder, Colo.—An important case relating to irrigation law was decided in the District Court Wednesday, Judge Garrigues presiding. The case was brought by George Dunn et al. of Berthoud to change the point of diversion of part priority decree No. 1 on Big Thompson from headgate of Big Thompson, or No. 1 ditch, to headgate of Consolidated Home Supply ditch. The court ruled that to change diversion of early priority from one lower down on stream, to one higher up, and above the point of discharge of reservoir depending on the right of exchange for the use of the reservoir, would be injurious to such reservoirs, and held that the diversion could not be made. The big steel tank, thirty feet high and thirty feet in diameter, which has stood for twenty years on the hill south of Greeley and been used during the entire time without repairs in connection with the old city waterworks, has been sold to the Windsor sugar factory as a storage tank for syrup. Harry E. Asdel, aged twenty-five, assistant engineer at the Tower station of the Manitou Incline Railway company, at. Mount Manitou, was caught by the belt of the dynamo wheel at the station Sunday and instantly killed. COLORADO NEWS The new $60,000 hospital of the Santa Fe railroad at La Junta was formally opened July 14th. The women of Greeley have undertaken to furnish the new public library which will be completed by September 1st. The Great Western Sugar Company will construct a warehouse for storing sugar, which will double its storage capacity at Fort Morgan. Mrs. Thomas Macon, wife of the late Judge Macon, died at her home in Denver on the 10th inst. Her health had been failing for some time. Gen. W. J. Palmer has donated a building site for a Jewish synagogue in Colorado Springs, and a $10,000 building will shortly be constructed. Calvin Madison, who was drowned on the 14th instant in the Gunnison river near Delta, was a member of the Knights of Pythias lodge at Greeley. A vein of lithograph stone four feet thick has been found at Turkey creek near Pueblo. The stone is of good quality, and has been used in Pueblo. It is worth $400 a ton. Glenwood Springs has a new cement factory which is turning out good material and a number of new cement block houses are under way, the first one being nearly completed. William Ash is reported to have made a rich strike of graphite ore, sixty per cent, pure, between Grape and Texas creeks, in Fremont county. The vein is eight inches wide and is continuous. It is expected that January 1, 1909, the Moffat road will run into Steamboat Springs. The road is now completed beyond McCoy's and a new contract will be let on the first of the month to complete the road nearly to Steamboat. Judge M. S. Bailey of Canon City, decided that the injunction suit to restrain the county commissioners of Pueblo county from going ahead with the building of the new county court house, was without merit and dissolved the injunction. A factory for the manufacture of the Carr beet dump wagon will be in operation at Greeley in a few days, conducted by a company composed of Greeley business men and capitalized at $10,000. Seventy-five farmers have given orders for wagons. The sociit science department of the Woman's club of Denver has established a loan fund from which small amounts will be lent to the deserving poor, notes and securities being taken whenever possible. The initial amount of the fund is $100. Ellas Valdez, aged twenty-one, of Capulin, Conejos county, was killed on the night of July 14th by lightning. There was a small hole in the top of his head, the lightning in its course had burned out his tongue, and there was a jagged hole in his abdomen. J. D. Gwyn, the new chief engineer of the Rio Grande, left Denver Wednesday for a general tour, of inspection of the road in company with General Manager A. C. Ridgeway and General Superintendent A. E. Welby. The Western Pacific will soon be completed and the Rio Grande system will be put in the best shape possible to make the connection perfect. After being ice-bound for six weeks the steamship Ohio, on which Edward W. Yetter of Denver, president of the Western Elaterite Roof Company was a passenger, has safely arrived in Nome. Since June 1st the ship was imbedded in the ice floes of Bering sea. Finally it was sighted by passing ships and towed to Nome harbor by the revenue cutters Thetis and McCulloch. The total number of deaths from all causes in Colorado during the months of January, February and March, 1908, according to the sanitary bulletin of the State Board of Health just issued is 13,065, with an annual death rate of only 19.95. This rate excludes still births. Scarlet fever caused seventy-three deaths, diphtheria forty-eight, and typhoid fever thirty during the quarter. The first hearing before the State Railway Commission has been set for July 31st, when the complaint brought by Congressman George W. Cook against the Colorado Midland will come up. The specific basis for the charge was the shipment of manganese ore from Leadville mines owned by Mr. Cook. Because of the exorbitant rate fixed by the road, he claims that the mines had to be shut down. The new double track between Florence and Canon City on the Denver & Rio Grande, which was tested Sunday, has been formally opened for traffic. Surveyors are at work in the Royal Gorge and it is believed it is the intention of the company to extend the double track to Salida. The Loveland-Estes Park auto stage line now makes two daily trips each way, leaving Loveland at 11 a. m. and 3 p. m. and leaving Estes Park at 8 a. m. and 10 a. m., thus making connections with trains each way. The company is operating eight steam autos. Louis Schneider, an old time ranchman living near Glenn, a small post-office twenty-five miles northeast of Limon, was shot in the leg Tuesday after a quarrel with a neighbor over a line fence between their homesteads. After shooting Schneider it is said the homesteader used the butt of his gun to beat him over the head. The shooter was arrested. Having secured a young eagle from a nest high on a dangerous cliff near Atlantic City, Wyoming, Professor Adams, curator of the State Normal School at Greeley, determined to obtain the nest for the museum. The nest is seven feet across and weighs several hundred pounds. The contract for building a $200,000 live stock pavilion at the Denver stock yards, to be used by the Western Livestock Show in January next, has been let to J. J. Cook of Denver. The building will rival the Auditorium in size and beauty. S&N GARMENT STORE 925-16TH ST. - OPP.

THE PUBLICITY CLAUSE. We are fornist the publicity platform adopted by the Democrats and appropriated by Judge Taft, the Republican candidate for the presidency. Both sides now propose to make public the source of all campaign contributions and the manner of disbursement. Think of it! If Bill Jones gets a dollar for his vote now, the whole state must know it. If Jack Smith, candidate, spends a dollar for rum, the whole blooming neighborhood must be put wise. If two hundred and fifty is put into the hands of Wilyum Jackson to carry the colored vote and he fails to make good, he must face the music at the public roll call. No, sir! We don't believe in it. We will take ours in subscriptions and bacon and coal for the winter under the head of contributions to the poor. ILL-FOUNDED EXPECTATIONS. The Negro's general ideas of the powers and possibilities of a political party to establish and maintain social privileges for the enjoyment of any particular class of people are largely erroneous. We often hear criticisms of the Republican party because it does not boldly take steps to abolish the Jim Crow laws passed by Southern legislatures, or that it does not absolutely put a stop to lynchings, or otherwise exercise a restrictive authority in a manner to make the Negro's lot just as happy and just as easy as that of other classes of citizens who, as classes, know nothing of these afflictions. These criticisms are not altogether just, because the questions involved are social more than political, and are subject, first of all and almost solely, to the authority vested in the people of the several states, or are grounded, rightly or wrongly, in the sentiment of the people of communities, states or sections. The greatest of the Negro's ills grow out of race prejudice, and this prejudice, so called, partakes of the quality of public sentiment, because it is so generally shared by racial elements and is not in fact restricted by political affiliations. Race prejudice is a white man's disease, not at all monopolized by Democrats. It cannot be overcome by law nor by any other form of restrictive force. Its cure lies only in the way of social development, and so far as it is curable, it must come through the slow development of refining influences, touching and improving both races, and the gradual amelioration of hard and repulsive social relations. Law or political power can help this development only in a general and far-off way, as by the increase of educational facilities, the regulation or control of common carriers engaged in interstate commerce, the extension of civil service and such other restricted supervision as national authority warrants. Every state controls its own citizens beyond the point of general restriction established by the provisions of the national constitution. This is the reason why we have repeatedly declared against the empty profession of political "friendship" for the black man in national Republican platforms. It means nothing that can be enforced by law, and it creates and keeps alive expectations which have no possible chance of realization through political channels. SIGNS OF REDEMPTION For the first time in history, perhaps, the colored citizens of the United States are taking some interest in the declarations of a national Democratic platform. This is not on account of any specific expression regarding the particular rights of, or wrongs against, the Negro as a class, but on account of a general declaration promising "the just and lawful protection of our citizens at home and abroad, and to use all proper methods to secure for them, whether native-born or naturalized, and without distinction of race or creed, the equal protection of law and the enjoyment of all rights and privileges open to them under our treaty." It is, of course, useless to expect that the Democratic party, as a whole, will so commit itself as to profess a sincere and wholesome regard for the welfare of the Negro citizen, but the fact that the progressive element in the party has reached the point where it does not hesitate to make a general and impartial declaration upon the equal rights of all citizens of the United States, "at home or abroad," to enjoy the equal protection of law, must be regarded as a long step toward the elimination of racial controversies in politics when all parties interested are citizens of the United States. This expression does not represent the principles or the actual belief of bourbon Democracy, but it serves to show that those principles or beliefs have no chance of ultimate domination in the nation, but rather that they must gradually sucumb to the general sentiment of a free people favoring political freedom to all classes of citizens and the ultimate equalization of their civil and political privileges. The Democrats of the nation are greater, and will remain greater, than the Democrats of the South. The Democrats of Georgia favor the disfranchisement of the Negro; those of Florida would repeal the constitutional amendments; but the Democratic party of the nation, influenced by broader aims, will never turn aside to ratify these isolated, sectional issues. While Democracy in some of its parts will remain hostile to the Negro and perpetuate the Negro's distrust, the widespread fear in the heart of the Negro of bourbon malevolence will henceforth be on the wane. Money Not Brains Is the Ruling Power By MRS. STUYVESANT FISH. HE proper maxim for society should be: T 3 "Anybody who is good enough for me to know is good enough for my guests." But you don't find it so. To be rich alone is not enough. Very often to be rich means to possess brains. There are plenty of people who have both brains and money. We must not bar them. But the time should come when brains will count for more than mere money. I would have our society made more exclusive, more dignified. I would have it harder to be accepted. I would have it so that just the possession of mere money would mean little without birth, breeding, good manners, intellect. Yet look at the people who do get into society with nothing except money. How few know of the kicks and the insults they have endured just to get in! I have had things said about me behind my back because I might choose to invite some clever, interesting, brainy people to my house. "Why does she invite such people?" they say. "And why does she persist in being so original? Why doesn't she ask us?" As if it were original to invite men and women who have brains to your house dinner. Heaven knows they are scarce enough! Yet some people's idea of society is to hand you the tip of one finger when you are their guest and then make faces at you behind your back. "Oh, I can't go to Mrs. Jones' house any more. She had Mrs. Snooks there at dinner, you know." You can hear that any day in society. I have heard it plenty of times. Somebody else don't like Mrs. Snooks, and because she was invited to Mrs. Jones' then everybody who goes to Mrs. Jones' will not be invited to Mrs. Smith's or Mrs. Robinson's. Is that the proper plane for society? But these very people seem to climb up into society. Church Aid to Peace By FRANCIS H. ROWLEY, D. D., Boston. Seldom in the history of the Christian church has there been opened to her a more superb opportunity to serve mankind than that now calling her to reinforce and carry forward the movement in the interests of the world's peace. Even should there be among her ministers or her members those still prepared, under certain conditions, to justify war, yet no man fit to be called a Christian can refuse for an instant to admit the obligation we are under to avert the horrors of war, if it be possible, by arbitration. If war must be, let it be only after the last possible means has been exhausted that should have saved so dread and desolating a calamity. There are three ways at least in which the churches can add to the power and momentum of the peace movement. First, their ministers and their teachers, with their rare opportunities to reach the generation of to-day and the generation that shall be to-morrow, can make clear the real meaning and purposes of arbitration. Second, the churches, through their ministers and teachers, may aid the movement for the world's peace by laying upon the hearts of their people what has been so well called "the moral damage of war." Silence on the part of the church is treason against her Lord, for whatever fine patriotism may have inspired the soldier to maintain his country's cause, no sooner have the opposing forces joined in deadly onslaught than revenge, cruelty, injustice awake to trample beneath their feet every divine and ennobling impulse of the human hart. Third, the churches can do more than any other forms of organized activity toward advancing the cause of peace and arbitration by an unfailing fidelity to those principles of the Christian faith that should determine the relation every man should sustain towards his neighbor, whether that neighbor live across the street or across the sea, and whether he be white, black, red or yellow. The church can go further than the great Declaration of 1776 that urges upon us "a decent respect to the opinions of mankind." She must go further than teach us that we are not worthy the Christian name until "the brotherhood of man" is something more for us than a phrase to juggle with. Can you imagine any power for peace equal to the Christian church if she were to rise to her high opportunity? Were she true to her holy calling, as true she will yet be, she could outrival all the peace societies of earth in hastening the day when arbitration shall abolish war. The Man Behind The Bars By REV. WILLIAM GARDAM, Detroit. The Man Behind The Bars By KEV. WILLIAM GARDAM, Detroit. It is not an uninteresting question to consider the ethical values of the attitude and behavior of the average public towards that very considerable constituency we technically speak of as the criminal portion of the human race. The sense of what another thinks of one's self, what the other expects and looks for, and the social bearing one cultivates each towards the other, has really a vast deal to do with one's own behavior and conduct. Right living is after all mostly a social affair. All of us are good and truthful and sympathetic and law-observing for the most part in relation to somebody else, or in relation to some standard that considers us as social beings. These men who get behind the bars and are marked with the prison brand and after a time come forth to the air and sun and freedom of civilization—the problem for them is what to do with the world they again come into and what the world that has branded them shall do with them. It is just this attitude of civilization towards the fellow who has been behind the bars and has worn the stripes that is of the greatest possible moment to him as he comes forth to a free life. So long as this attitude is one of anticipation that he will do his worst, in nine cases out of ten he probably will not disappoint this expectation. We are all governed to a degree by what is expected of us, and the man who has been behind the bars is handicapped enormously by the interior sense of degradation and loss of self-respect, and by the feeling also that civilization questions his ability ever to do any better and by the sense also that it universally distrusts him. He has necessarily an enormous fight to make for a new footing and if he succeeds it is certainly not by the grace and favor and generosity of the modern world. DON'T FORGET!

Denver, Colo HERBERT'S 1519 CURTIS STREET Ice Cream, Ices, Candies 2533 Washington Ave Denver, Colo ```markdown ``` DRESSES FOR GIRLS Pretty Blouse for Girl from 14 to 16 Years. Walking Costume for Girl from 14 to 16 Years. Evening Blouse for Girl from 14 to 16 Years. In this group we have three girlish pretty dresses. The first is in navy serge, the skirt is a plain gored shape, with a deep hem at the foot. The yoke of bodice is continued into a straight strap to the waist in front, and is edged with passementerie; the material is tucked for about three inches down before being joined to the yoke, the sleeves are also tucked at the wrists. The second costume is for a girl of 16 years; our model is in a brown and blue checked material; the skirt fits the waist without fullness, and is trimmed at the foot with a crosswise strap of brown velvet. The bodice has a fitted lining to which the small yoke or vest of lace is fixed, also the sleeves are sewn to the lining only, the material for bodice being cut with epaulettes edged with velvet and plaited ribbon, the center of front is arranged in a triple plait, and the neck is outlined by a velvet strap. The third illustration shows a simple school dress for a girl of nine years; it is suitable to be made in any fine woolen material, and is trimmed with fancy black braid. The skirt is slightly full, being gathered into the waist-band; the bodice also is gathered, and is fixed to a pointed yoke trimmed with braid. Comfortable and Pretty Headgear Constructed of Pique. The nicest little hats may be made for the children of the family, with the least expense and trouble, of pique. It is only necessary to cut two circles of the material for the brim, sew them together and bind them with white tape. Cut a smaller circle from the center of this to fit the head of the child, and bind this in the same way. The brim is then finished. To make the crown, cut another circle of the pique about the same size as the brim. This does not need to be lined; bind it and make buttonholes around the edge. Then sew small buttons around the inside circle of the brim, and the whole hat is complete. Needless to say, a machine does wonders to help the making of these easy little hats, and, when they are finished, they need only be unbuttoned to make the cleansing process simple to the extreme. Sometimes clever mothers prefer the hats to be made of material to match the dresses, and then scraps may be utilized. A yard square will make a hat. When really dressy ones are desired, they are made of linen and scalloped round the edge with a buttonhole stitch. But, after all, children's garments are pretty if neatly made without much trimming. The "Grandfather Frill." Every tailormade costume nowadays must have its attendant grandfather frill or cascade of creamy lace with which to set it off to the best possible advantage. In cases when the "grandfather" frill is chosen in preference to the lace cascade, snow-white net or tulle is the only material permissible, the frill being of the most exaggerated dimensions at the top, where it is caught with a tiny bow of black velvet. The new coat which is scooped out considerably at the top and caught together with a couple of buttons, permits of a full view being obtained of the frill in conjunction with the genuine directoire coat with its long swallow-tails and short open jacket. Linen and Cloth. One of the oddities in the present season's styles is putting cloth and linen together. This is done in small or large quantities. A green cloth skirt, perfectly fitting, quite long, and without trimming, carries a loose long skeleton coat of green linen. The collar and cuffs are of cretonne with pink, green and yellow combined. Linen is much cooler than cloth for a coat, and as it is of the handsome hop-sacking weave it does not sit badly above a skirt of satin broadcloth. Trimming a Shirtwaist. Long bands of embroidered linen can be placed as insertion in an otherwise plain linen or batiste shirt-waist, while the finer pieces of embroidery make most attractive frills for the new severely simple bodices of striped and figured lawn, while if a quite heavy piece of embroidered linen is discovered it can be pressed at once into service as a belt for a white summer waist and skirt. Most Careful Handling Necessary to Preserve Appearance. Real laces rarely are washed, because they are almost sure to thicken slightly, and they require careful handling to make them appear like new. When not in use fine laces should be kept in powdered magnesia, between folds of blue tissue paper. Wash white lace in warm water with white soap and a little ammonia added. Soak it for an hour and then use fresh water. Do not rub, but squeeze in soap lather, and thus get the dirt out. If yellow put soapy water over the lace and set in the sun for a day or two. When it is clean rinse thoroughly. If you wish the lace cream color add strong coffee to the last rinsing water and if you wish it white add a little bluing. To give lace the body it had when new stiffen it in gum arabic water, made by dissolving a piece of gum arabic the size of a pea in one pint of boiling water. Lay the lace between dry clothes to absorb the moisture, then clap it until nearly dry and pull it into shape and pin it on to flannel, straight and true. Be sure that each point is in shape and that every loop of the pearl edge has a pin to hold it in place. A NEW BATHING SUIT. 1 Here is a chic bathing suit of brown mohair, than which there is nothing better looking nor more stylish.

"This immigrant, a Magyar, was arrested for stealing a bottle of whisky. At the station house the sergeant said to him, pointing toward a tub: "Strip and take a bath." "Vat, go in de vater?" shrieked the Magyar. "Yes,' said the sergeant, 'take a bath. You need it. How long is it since you have had a bath?" "The Magyar lifted up his hands and rolled his eyes.

NIHAL SING It is but recently that the oriental has begun to awaken to an appreciation of himself. Hitherto he has not only allowed himself to be treated by the occidental as chance ordained, but has measured his ability with the criterions set up by westerners. It is but yesterday that the Asian assumed an aggressive attitude and vowed that he would resist the intrusion of the European and American, employing the occidental weapons to accomplish the end. The change in the attitude of the east towards the west during the last two decades has been phenomenal. It has led the Asiatic to resent the western insinuation that the oriental is the inferior of the occidental in mental and moral caliber. It has also wooed the Asiatic out of his inaction and lethargy of ages, inspired him with the desire to break the shell of his limitations and set his face towards modernization and evolution. Time was, and not long ago, when the rank and file of even the cultured orientals were obsequious in their attitude towards even the mediocre westerner. To the Asiatic, "white" skin was synonymous with superior talent and character. The white man represented to him great strength of mind and body and skill of arms, offensive and defensive. The Asian no longer mentally or physically prostrates himself before the Caucasian. To him, no more the Anglo-Saxon boast of surviving as the fittest has any weight. A brown or yellow hide has come to be, to him, as good an index of character and caliber as the white. What the new occident wants today is reciprocity. It demands for itself perfectly even privileges in return for those which it extends to westerners within its gates. This attitude is likely to assume more aggressive and intensive form as the awakening proceeds apace and as the oriental succeeds in learning the arts and crafts of subjugating the forces of nature and utilizing them. Considered in this light, it is easy to understand the oriental view of Asiatic immigration to North America and the British colonies. The first thing to be noted in this connection is that the oriental is no longer prepared to brook the aspersion that he is the inferior of the Americans or British colonials. Another and more important feature is that the hostile treatment of the oriental immigrants cannot but lead to untold and vexatious trade complications. The peddler who sold his wares from door to door had no status in the minds of his buyers and he could well afford to cheat as he never wished nor expected to duplicate a sale. The modern metropolitan department stores find that it is essential for them rather to lose a sale than dupe a customer. In business circles more and more the retention of good will and the satisfaction of the purchaser is becoming the sine qua non of success. It is not the new-fangled salesman, who induces a state of hypnosis and dupes the buyer into taking some article that he does not need or that is not its money's worth, who is the cornerstone of a successful store; nor is the impatient and unobliging man behind the counter or at the desk the keystone of a business enterprise. In the long run, both prove failures and represent the crystallization of penny-wise-pound-foolish philosophy. As it is with internal trade, so is it with international commerce. The economic is an essential feature of inter-continental trade relations; but it has been the experience of business people whose operations extend worldwide, that, other things being equal, the business man who is the most gentlemanly and obliging wins out in the race. To verify this statement, one has but to see how much business the Englishman loses in India through his snobbery and boorishness in his dealings with the native East-Indian trader. In the past it has been the case that on account of the weakness and inalertness of the oriental, the westerner in the east has had his own way. It was very much similar to what he did in North America. The North American Indians, unable to cope with the aggressors and incapable of civilizing themselves according to the western canons, found themselves driven to reservations and extinction. In several of the oriental countries the Anglo-Saxon has attempted the same thing, but without the same success. In India, for instance, 70,000-000 people have been ground to such dire and painful poverty that they cannot manage to secure a single satisfying meal a day. In China the attempt has been made to parcel the country and divide it amongst the European powers. The near-east has similarly been the subject of such machinations. Persia and Afghanistan and the adjoining territory have been threatened with a similar fate. But for many reasons the orient countries have been saved from the doom of the red Indian. Their present-day awakening to a realization of their situation and possibilities promises that they will not only avert an ignominious fate, but that in the near future a better and more equitable adjustment of the relations between the orient and the occident will take place. So far there have been two standards of equity. With the one the westerner has measured himself—with the other, he has adjudged the easterner. The occidental has gone to Asian countries, through intrigue and base devices obtained possession of the land, fettered the people and exploited the resources for his selfish interests. But he has invariably resented it when the Asiatic turned around and showed a disposition to pay him the same sort of compliment. The fiasco which has resulted from Asiatic immigration in Australia, Canada, the United States, South Africa, etc., is mainly to be attributed to this unreasonable and inequitable dealing of the occidental in regard to the Asiatic; but there is hope of a satisfactory solution, as the spirit of the times has sounded the death knell for the maintaining of this dual standard of ethics. Gradually the emancipated woman is obliging man to judge her by the same standards with which he judges himself. With the march of civilization and with the gradual evolution of the orient, the occident will find that, like the "new" woman, the "new" oriental will not submit to humiliating treatment. This new rapprochement appears even at this moment just about to mount the horizon. In size it is no bigger than a man's hand; but from all indications it is certain to increase in dimensions. The resistance that the East-Indian immigrants are offering in the Transvaal, refusing to submit to degrading immigration laws and preferring to lose all their vested property and rights and even to rot in jails; the recent memorial of the native East-Indian soldiers to the commander-in-chief of the British empire that they be taken out and shot dead rather than be allowed to be humiliated by unjust and tyrannical British colonists; the preparations that India is making to boycott the incoming of British colonials and their goods; the stout resistance that the Japanese immigrants have offered on this continent; all portend the aggressive attitude that the orient is displaying—that the day is near dawning when the occidental shall have to do by the oriental as he wishes to be done by. In considering the matters pertaining to oriental immigration, it must be remembered that the orient is not planning a fell swoop on the occident. The aggressiveness of the orient is not flowing into the channel of an attempt to despoil the North American continent as did the Huns the Roman empire. The present-day oriental finds too much constructive work to do at home, to think of such an invasion; and deems the very mention of yellow and brown peril a ludicrous monstrosity. His aggressiveness is finding an outlet merely in the attitude which he is assuming toward the occident—which, it must be distinctly understood, is not of hostility but rather of reciprocity. The Asian is not scheming to thrust himself by sheer force upon the occident. He only pleads for equitable treatment. Asia is the oldest continent of the world. Many of its countries are thickly populated. However, the resources of the orient are practically inexhaustible and have scarcely been touched. The occidental exploiters have but secured the crude surface wealth, and beneath this somewhat exhausted crust lie treasures untold. The new orient, unless it is usurped as a breeding place for the European exploiter, will provide an ample living to the oriental himself. With a system of intensive and scientific agriculture, with the harnessing of rivers, creeks and waterfalls, with the employment of steam and electricity in manufactures, with the extension of the transportation facilities and with the development of educational policy and administration, the orient, thickly populated and old as it is, will supply better opportunity for a comfortable life; and the masses of orientals who are being pinched by poverty and famine into America and the British colonies will live contentedly in their native lands. For the $100,000,000 that India pays annually to England as its tribute to its liege lord remained in the country; and if the lucrative government appointments that to-day are monopolized by aliens were held by the natives of the land, the home-loving Hindoos would not find it necessary to go to Canada or British Africa. As it is, the settlement of the Hindoo immigration problem hinges to a large extent upon whether the occident will or will not continue to "milk" Hindostan. If the west will but keep its hands off Asia—will cease looking at the resources of the orient with covetous eyes and fighting for their possession, the oriental will be enabled to stay peacefully at home in his own land, and the problem of the "yellow and brown peril" will solve itself. Even the "little men" of Japan will more and more confine their immigration and exploitation to their own continent and cease thrusting themselves upon the hostile occident. JAMES S. SHERMAN SIDELIGHTS ON NOMINEE FOR VICE-PRESIDENT. Is Very Popular in His Home City of Utica, N. Y.—Fond of National Utica, N. Y.—"Jim" Sherman, the Republican candidate for vice-president, is very popular here. So is his family. He has several brothers and one of them, Richard W., finished a second term as mayor of Utica last January. The mayor is a Democrat. So is the whole Sherman family excepting Jim. He, too, used to be a Democrat, but in 1876, shortly after serving as a Democratic delegate in the state convention, he became a Republican. Ten years later his new party sent him to congress and he has been there ever since, except for the two years 1891-93, having been one of the many who were swamped in the Democratic tidal wave of 1890. "Jim" is chairman of the local ice trust, and his brother, while mayor, got after him in warm style, making sensational charges against the trust. However, all the Sherman brothers are the best of friends. Mr. Sherman came most widely in national repute when in 1906 he was chairman of the Republican congressional committee in charge of the campaign. It was in that campaign that he earned the sobriquet "Send Your Dollar Jim," or "Dollar Jim," as the solicitor and recipient of dollar contributions, suggested by President Roosevelt when so much was being said in criticism of great campaign contributions by corporations. Sherman had the fight of his career in that same campaign to retain his own seat, for there was strong opposition organized in his district. Samuel Gompers personally campaigned against him. Also opposing him were the anti-organizations Republicans, the Democrats, united laborists and Independence leaguers, besides the candidates of lesser parties, and the campaign was active. Sherman's plurality PETER H. HARRIS Photo by Moffett Studio, Chicago. James S. Sherman. two years earlier had been 5,765. Sherman won the election by 4,270. When the rain keeps Mr. Sherman indoors he can usually be found engrossed in a piece of fiction. He is an inverteate fiction reader. Not that he has neglected the classics, but he prefers something lighter for his recreation hours. Once when Reed was speaker of the house he telegraphed that he would go to Sherman's home in New York to discuss a matter with him, and asked him to have a certain report ready. When the speaker arrived at the Sherman home he found the congressman poring over a book, deeply interested in it. "Ah, looking up data on our matter?" commented Mr. Reed. "Yes," replied Sherman. "Just wait a minute; I want to see if the heroine really weds this fellow or not. I'm interested." A story is told of Mr. Sherman that he was in his committee room at Washington one evening dictating a report to his stenographer while two pages were carrying on a discussion as to the relative batting ability of Lajole and the late Delehauty. Mr. Sherman apparently was engrossed in the reports and figures in front of him, and baseball scores and averages seemed the furthest from his mind. "Lajole batted .402 last year," said one of the pages, "and Delehauty has not hit more'n a double this year. He's battin' about .200, if that much." "He batted .316 up to yesterday, sonny," came the sudden interruption from Congressman Sherman, "and he leads the league in extra base hits. And you've got the Lajole dope wrong. He batted .406." And then he resumed his dictation. Mrs. James S. Sherman is a woman of attractive address, who is in no sense a social butterfly and who has in Washington confined her social efforts and attentions to the congressional set and such matters as are required of a representative's wife. Her health is not such as to permit a strenuous social campaign. Of the three Sherman sons, the oldest, Sherrill, is 25, married, something of a golf champion, and 14 note teller in the Utica Trust Co. bank. Richard U. Sherman, the second son, is professor of mathematics in Hamilton college, and is the youngest professor in the institution. The third sor, Thomas, is in business USE THE BEST FAULTLESS STARCH FOR LAUNDRY WORK FOR SHIRTS COLLARS CUFFS AND FINE LINEN PROOF FOR TWO CENTS.
