REPUBLICAN NOMINEES
A Few of the Men Selected to fill High Positions. A Strong Trio for the Supreme Bench. Every Voter in Colorado can Afford to Cast his Ballot for these splendid Men
THE COLORADO STATESMAN this week continues its appeal to the voters of our race to stand up for law and order. Stand for the party of right and justice. Stand for the party whose work for the great and growing commonwealth has brought the greatest good to the greatest number. Heretofore we have confined ourselves to a general appeal along the lines of the splendid record our party has made. We come now asking the support of the voters because of the splendid galaxy of men, strong in civic righteousness, which our party has nominated for the highest offices within the gift of the people.
In the scheme of government adopted by our forefathers, the Supreme Court becomes at once the bulwark of defense for the great common people. Its decisions and findings are assumed to rise above petty partisan politics. The Republican party has selected men for places on the Supreme bench because of their peculiar fitness for the exalted position and not because of their bias in favor the party. They are good men and true to the best interest of the people. Perhaps every one in Denver knows Justice Joseph C. Helm. For fourteen years he labored at the bar earning an honest living. One who looks into his strong, yet kindly face, cannot but realize the splendid character of the man. Honesty is written in every line. He was born in the city of Chicago, June 30, 1848. At an early age, he was taken by relatives to Iowa, settling on a form. Here he remained until the breaking out of the Civil War. August 27, 1861, he enlisted in Company B, First Battalion, Thirteenth regiment of regular United States Infantry. He spent the first two years as a drummer boy with his regiment in and about Vieksburg. In October 1863, while out as a scout for General Sherman, the small detachment was engaged by a superior rebel force and twenty-five per cent. of the Union soldiers were killed. Judge

JUSTICE LUTHER M. GODDARD.
Helm became a prisoner of war and for the next three months he felt the iron of rebel prison life at Mobile, Alabama, and Belle Isle, Virginia. He was exchanged along with other prisoners and at once rejoined his regiment at Nashville, where he took part in various skirmishes. His term of enlistment having expired, he at once re-enlisted in the Sixth Regiment United States Veteran Volunteers and became attached to the Army of the Potomac. He continued with this department until the close of the war. Here he laid aside the drum and shouldered a musket. He was in Washington and served on guard duty during the trial of Boston Corbett, the assassin of President Lincoln. In such a rough school was the foundation of Judge Helm's life laid.
He was honorably discharged from the army in April 1866. The necessity of securing proper education at once impressed itself upon the mind of the young soldier. With the same energy and fidelity that had made him a faithful soldier, he became a faithful student and a bright scholar. In 1870, he graduated from the collegiate department of the state university of Iowa. He began life as a teacher. For two years he had charge as superintendent of the public schools of Little Rock, Arkansas. In 1874 he graduated from the Law Department of Iowa, and at once began the practice of his chosen profession. As a law student, Judge Helm was careful and pains-taking, the same careful preparation has characterized him in all his legal efforts. So well has he done that in 1891 his Alma Mater honored him with the degree of LL.D. Judge Helm has spent all his years as a lawyer in Colorado. He first settled at Colorado Springs. In 1875, he was city attorney of Colorado Springs. In 1876, he was a member of the lower house. Here his splendid legal attainments began to attract attention. He introduced and secured the passage of the code of civil procedure, which has had very few amendments in the long years it has served Colorado. As chairman of the committee on corporation he prepared and secured the passage the Municipal Corporation Law, which is still in force. He was next elected to the Senate, from which he resigned in 1880, to become Judge of the District Court of El Paso county. In 1882, after two years service as judge, he was elected to the Supreme Court. He was then only thirty-four years of age and was perhaps the youngest supreme justice in the world. He held the office for a full term of nine years, and was re-elected in the fall of 1891. Judge Helm has always been a staunch Republican, and with his high respect for the wishes of his party and the people, he resigned from the bench in 1892, and became the unanimous choice of his party for governor. Along with others of his party, he was submerged in the awful-tidal wave of populism. He settled down and for the past fourteen years enjoyed a lucrative practice. With the death of Justice Caswell, it was a great pleasure to the Governor and an honor to the Coorado bar, that this splendid jurist was called upon and did accept, to fill out the unex-
NO.1
pired term. With full confidence in Judge Helm, the recent Republican convention named him for the long term on the Supreme bench. His long years of residence in the state and his splendid services rendered to the state conspire to make him one of the strongest men on the ticket.
Justice Goddard, who has been selected by the Republicans, for the Supreme bench, was born near Palmyra, Wayne county, New York. At the age of fifteen years his parents removed to Abidington, Ill., where for six years, he worked on a farm and received such meager education as the county school offered. In 1861 he came to Kansas and remained in Leavenworth. In 1865 and 1866 he attended the Union Law School at Chicago, graduating, he returned to Leavenworth and at once entered upon the practice of his profession. In 1868-9 he was Deputy United States Attorney under Judge David Bemer, now associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court. In 1871 he served a term in the Kansas Legislature, and a year later was elected county attorney of Leavenworth county, serving two years. In 1878, he removed to Colorado and settled at Leadville. Leadville was then in its palmy days and Justice Goddard saw some stirring events. He early became identified with States Attorney under Judge David Brewer, now associate Justice of the Fifth Judicial District and was again elected in 1888. This position he filled with honor to himself and credit to his state. Four years later he was elected to the Supreme bench. He was again appointed to the bench by Governor Peabody. Justice Goddard is a strong man. He has rendered opinions on some of the most important questions of law which have come up in this state, and his opinions have stood the test. In his profession, he is regarded as one of the ablest in the state.
Hon. John M. Maxwell is Justice of the Supreme Court of Colorado. He has been renominated by the Republicans for the ten year term. Justice Maxwell is a comparative young man. He was born at Mansfield, Ohio, and is a graduate of the celebrated classical college at Marietta. He read law and was admitted to practice in Cincinnati in 1876. He is a member of the Cincinnatti Bar Association, which has the distinction of having Hon. William H. Taft as a member. 1872, he cast his first vote for General U. S. Grant and has been voting the Republican ticket ever since. In 1877, he came to Colorado and located at Boulder. He was admitted to the Colorado bar in April, 1877. In 1879 he removed to Leadville, where he successfully practiced his profession until in November 1902, he became Secretary to Governor Peabody. By appointment of the governor, he became judge of the Court of Appeals in April, 1903. During his residence at Leadville he served as city solicitor and as a member of the Board of Education. Both of which positions he filled with honor and credit.
He has long been identified with the Masonic fraternity of Colorado. He is Past Grand Master of Masons and Past Grand Commander of the Grand Encampment of Knights of Templars. He is also an Inspector General of the thirty-third degree of Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite. And a member of the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks, Leadville Lodge No. 236.
This in brief is the story of the men selected by the Republicans to grace the Supreme beneh. They are well known to all the people. In ALL things they stand for the best interpretation of the laws, and the best possible government for the people.
THE LEGEND OF THE WORLD'S FIRST FARMER
JUSTICE JOHN M. MAXWELL.
DEMOCRATIC PARTY AGAINST OUR NAVY
Objects to Appropriations to Make Us Equal to Our New Responsibilities.
Would Leave Us The Prey of Stronger Nations—Success of Monroe Doctrine Depends On Adequate Navy
quate Navy.
William Jennings Bryan has always opposed a great American navy. He went to Congress years ago, and if he accomplished anything worthy of note, the record has failed to show it. At that time the Democrats all over the country were looking to him with growing admiration because of his obstruction tactics. On July 9, 1892, he arose in his place in the House of Representatives and opposing a proposed naval appropriation, said:
"Mr. Speaker, I believe in a sufficient navy. We have this now, either in existence or in construction. We do not need more."
Is the Same Bryan Today.
Such was Mr. Bryan sixteen years ago and such he is to-day. He has opposed every proposed appropriation to increase and strengthen our navy, as a matter of defense and protection to our coast line, and a preventative of war with other nations, as a source of pride and prestige and insurance to our country. The matchless record of our navy at Santiago and in Manila Bay during the Spanish war interests him not. Had his ideas prevailed we would have had no victories on the water in that war.
Must Always Be Ready.
As wars between nations come suddenly, just as do personal conflicts between men, our navy must be maintained upon that basis of possible contingency. Our national history shows that wars have sprung suddenly into existence while wise men were proclaiming that war could not occur. There are many instances where the most unexpected occurrences have brought us to the very verge of battle.
We are not a military nation, yet we are a rich nation, and undefended wealth invites aggression. The very liberty of individual speech and action which we as a people so prize and guard, renders it possible that at times unexpected causes of friction with foreign powers may suddenly develop. Even at present this country is negotiating arbitration treaties with a number of the great powers. These treaties have a special usefulness because in the event of some sudden disagreement they render it morally incumbent upon both nations to seek first to reach an agreement to arbitrate and at least secure a breathing space during which the cool judgment of the two nations involved may get the upper hand over any momentary burst of anger. Such treaties are entered into with the hope of preventing wrong doing by others against us and also as a proof that we have no intention of doing wrong ourselves.
Preparedness Safest Peace Argument
Yet it is idle to assume that this world has yet reached the stage, or has come within measurable distance of the stage, when a proud nation, jealous of its honor and conscious of its great mission in the world, can be content to rely for peace upon the forbearance
HOW COULD BRYAN HELP?
His Prescriptions For Business Shown to Be Ineffectual.
(From the Pittsburgh Gazette-Times.)
We hear of workingmen saying that this time they intend to vote for Mr. Bryan, because for the past ten months we have had hard times. But want good will that do? How is a tariff for revenue, ignoring the protection plea altogether, going to open the shops and mills? How will the election of Senators by direct vote start the wheels of industry? Or the publication of campaign contributions? Or the further harassment of the railroads? Or the reorganization of the House, so that the Speaker may be powerless? Why open this country now to the markets of the world when we have not sufficient demand to consume what we ourselves manufacture?
Exact Justice Highest Ideal.
The administration of exact justice by courts without fear or favor, unmoved by the influence of the wealthy or by the threats of the demagogue, is the highest ideal that a government of the people can strive for, and any means by which a suitor, however unpopular or poor, is deprived of enjoying this is to be condemned.—Hon. Wm. H. Taft, at Columbus, Ohio.
Party Requirements.
As a party shows itself homogeneous, able to grasp the truth with respect to new issues, able to discard unimportant differences of opinion, sensitive with respect to the successful maintenance of government, and highly charged with the responsibility of its obligations to the people at large, it establishes its claim to the confidence of the public and to its continuance in political power.-Hon. Wm. H. Taft, at Kansas City, Mo.
of other powers—as seems to be Mr. Bryan's idea. It would be equally foolish upon our part to rely upon each of them possessing at all times and under all circumstances and provocations, an altruistic regard for the rights of others.
Must Maintain American Prestige
The United States can hope for a permanent career of peace on only one condition, and that is on condition of maintaining a first class navy—despite the obstructive tactics of the Democratic party.
The government has found it necessary to be liberal in appropriations for rivers, harbors and bays, for irrigation, for the construction of public buildings, and for various other public enterprises which redound either to the benefit of some specific locality or to the people at large. Every great power has found it necessary to provide protection for its commerce, its foreign trade, its ports, and its people doing business or traveling in other countries. We have become a great power. This nation today lines up alongside of the five great powers of the world. We have assumed responsibilities by the recent colonial expansion which was thrust upon us, and from which we cannot escape if we would, and ought not if we could.
Responsibility of World Power.
We have obligations to Cuba, where we have said to the world we will protect her against assault or invasion, against attacks upon her independence, integrity of territory, of her institutions. We have Porto Rico, which can be defended only from the sea, as Cuba can be defended only from the sea. We have the islands of Tutuila, Guam, Hawaii, and the Philippines far from the United States, all of which must be protected from the sea. We have assumed another obligation in the Panama Canal, which perhaps is greatest of all
We have the longest line of sea coast of any other power in the world except one—7,000 miles—and in addition to that, Alaska. We have assumed responsibility for law and order in Panama. The spades and drills and steam shovels are there at work and the whole world is taking notice, because they are to alter the paths of commerce and to change the relations of nations. The future of the Monroe Doctrine is in the custody of our navy. Its peaceful recognition will be the tribute which other nations pay, not to the doctrine, but to our sea power.
We as a people do not fully appreciate the commercial jealousies now existing in Europe against us and which will be accentuated by the construction and completion of the Panama canal. Not alone our states on the Pacific, but the whole line of ports on the Atlantic Coast, will come into this coneptition, for the ports on the Atlantic coast are as near in miles to Japan, China and the Orient, by the Panama canal, as are the reservoirs that gather for distribution abroad, the products of Continental Europe, or London, through the Suez Canal.
Commerce and Our Sea Power.
This great future commerce cannot be protected by treaties alone. We cannot protect our commerce and expand our trade by mere arbitration at the Hague alone. We can only maintain commerce by having a sea power adequate for its protection, for the security of our islands, and to prevent a hostile fleet from destroying in a week the Panama canal, after it has cost us from two to three hundred million dollars and ten years to build.
It is therefore to the interest of every high-minded, public-spirited American to endorse the constructive policy of the Republican party, and encourage the establishment and maintenance of a first-class American navy.
NON-PARTISAN LABOR PAPER.
Mine Workers' Journal, Representing 350,000 Coal Miners, Refuses Space to Politics.
The Mine Workers' Journal, official paper of the 350,000 coal miners of the country, published at Indianapolis, will not support Bryan in the coming election. In a statement to a correspondent the Mine Workers' Journal states
"For obvious reasons we are compelled to decline publication of your well-written letter. It is contrary to the rules of the Journal to allow anything of a partisan political nature in its columns. Yours would invoke replies of a partisan nature and an attack on other partisan candidates from others who differ with you, and the columns of the Journal would be filled with letters of a partisan political nature to the exclusion of matter that is more interesting and calculated to do more good. Politics of a partisan character are excluded from the Journal for the good of the Journal and peace of its members."
Inspiration from Lincoln
The leader of the Republican party during the Civil War was Abraham Lincoln. In all the varieties of controversy which it has since had to deal, it has never lost the inspiration of his leadership—Hon. Wm. H. Taft, at Kansas City, Mo.
Political Notes.
The Republican party is greater than any man, a distinct contrast to the Democratic party, which has but one leader and he its master.—Hon. James S. Sherman.
It is announced that Mrs. Tennessee Claflin Cook is coming all the way across the ocean for the purpose of helping to elect Bryan. She is a determined woman, and Mr. Bryan probably will be unable to stop her.—Chicago Tribune.
SECRETARY ROOT REVIEWS ISSUES
Republican Administration Vigorous for Enforcement of Law.
Taft the Logical Successor to Continue Roosevelt Policies and Reforms.
Elihu Root, Secretary of State chairman of the Republican convention which nominated Charles E. Hughes for Governor of New York, addressed the convention in part as follows:
Mr. Root's Speech.
"We can turn to the administrations now drawing to a close, both in the State and in the nation, and with confidence ask every American voter to say whether they have not met all the great fundamental questions of good government, whether they do not justify the belief that it is best for the country to keep in power the party which is responsible for them and is entitled to the credit of them. Have not these administrations within the State and within the nation been honest? Have they not been capable? Have they not been efficient? Have they not set before the people of America examples of pure, high-minded and patriotic service in public office? Have they not raised the standard of public duty which the young men of America have set for themselves? Have they not done us honor before the world?"
Mr. Bryan Answered.
Mr. Root took up and answered at length Bryan's question, "Shall the People Rule?" including the various arraignments of the Republican party and its leaders made by the Democratic candidate in recent speeches. Among other things he said:
"Mr. Bryan charges that the Republican party is responsible for the abuses of corporate wealth. As well might he charge that the man who plants cotton is responsible for the boll weevil, or that the man who plants fruit trees is responsible for the San Jose scale. Until the millennium has brought the eradication of human selfishness and greed, social abuses will come according to the shifting conditions of the times. Adversity and prosperity, wealth and poverty have each their own kinds of abuse. Constant vigilance and constant activity to meet and put an end to abuses as they arise is the task of government and of good citizenship but the work is never finished. The Republican party has produced the conditions which have made our great prosperity possible, and it is dealing with the evils which have been incident to that prosperity with vigor and effectiveness. Upon the course to be pursued regarding these evils, upon the attitude and action of the government towards trusts, railroads, and all the great corporations, there is no substantial issue between the two parties.
Tariff Revision.
"The Democratic party proposes that they will wipe out the protective tariff and substitute a tariff for revenue only. I shall not discuss that proposition, but it ought not to be forgotten. The eleven years which have passed since the Dingley tariff was enacted have brought about many changes in the conditions to which the tariff law is applied. Many of these changes have resulted from the very prosperity which the protection afforded by the tariff has produced. In the nature of things, such changes must occur and from time to time every tariff must be revised and adapted to the new conditions. As the period of revision, however, is always one of uncertainty and a consequent injury to business, revisions ought not to be made too often or upon slight grounds. The Republican party has not considered that sufficient grounds for thus disturbing business have existed heretofore. It now considers that sufficient grounds do now exist, and it has pledged itself immediately after the 4th of March next to devote an extraordinary session of Congress to making such a revision in accordance with the true principles of protection.
"The last time the Democratic party was in power the result was the Wilson-German tariff of 1893. The very threat of such a proceeding at that time stopped business, closed the mills, threw millions of men out of employment, and was accompanied by universal business depression and disaster. Are we ready to repeat that experience now, as we surely shall if we put the Democratic party in power?
The Railroads.
"The Republican party believes in the regulation of railroads. It believes that their managers ought to be made, and can be made, to obey the law. It believes that by an enforcement of the law, not spasmodic and sensational, but steady, firm, and persistent, excessive and discriminating rates can be stopped; and it is now, and has been
No Defendable Policy.
The difficulty with the Democratic party and the reason why the American people thus far have manifested their distrust of it is because it has no policy which the country can depend upon. Its whole stock in trade is that of irresponsible criticism and obstruction, but when charged with the responsibility for doing anything it utterly falls.—Hon. Wm. H. Taft, at Greensboro, North Carolina.
for a considerable period, engaged in such enforcement, with marked efficiency and success. It proposes for the presidency a candidate who declares his purpose to continue and complete that enforcement of the law, and whose competency to do so with success has been proved. Mr. Bryan does not believe in the regulation of railroads. He does not believe it practicable. He regards it as bound to fail, although he is willing to criticise the Republican party for not accomplishing that vast and complicated task all at once.
"It is natural to observe that, if the people of the country desire railroads to be regulated, and the laws regarding them to be enforced, it would be wise to entrust that regulation to Mr. Taft, who believes in regulation, and has faith in the wisdom and effectiveness of the law, rather than in the hands of one who believes that all effort to regulate must prove futile.
The Democratic Record.
"What is furnished by the record of the Democratic party at large to show that it is competent to maintain the prosperity we have, and execute the promises of reform it tenders. No proof whatever of that is offered. All the evidence we have is the other way. The majority of us have not yet forgotten the second administration of Grover Cleveland, which ended only on the 4th of March, 1897. The Democracy then had its opportunity to show the world what it could do with government, for it possessed the executive office, a majority of the Senate, and a majority of the House. Its opportunity to exercise that control for the public benefit was wasted. Discord and confusion reigned throughout the entire four years. Incapacity to reach practical conclusions or to take any effective action was demonstrated. No promises were kept. No reforms were accomplished. It became apparent that the sole cohesive force that bound the Democratic party together was the desire for office, and, once in office, instead of progress, we had all factions pulling different ways, totally incapable of agreeing upon a common course of conduct.
"Are the people of the United States ready to repeat that experience of Democratic government?"
TAFT'S SETTLEMENT OF THE FRIARS' LAND PROBLEM.
In the whole story of Judge Taft's brilliant and useful career as jurist, executive and diplomat there is no more creditable chapter than that devoted to his adjustment of the controversy concerning what were known as the "Friars' Lands" in the Philippines. Those lands, consisting of some 300,000 acres of the most fertile soil in the islands, were held by priests of certain religious orders, but were occupied and farmed by native tenants, who complained that the rentals exacted by their clerical landlords were excessive. Upon the withdrawal of Spanish authority from the Archipelago the Friars' Lands became the subject of earnest controversy. The farmer tenants contended that the property should be taken from the priests and thrown open to purchase in small parcels by the actual occupants. There was a demand, indeed, for the confiscation of the property and the priests themselves, in their ignorance of American methods, were fearful that such a course might be adopted.
It became one of Mr. Taft's tasks to settle this serious dispute, and he accomplished it in a manner which not only greatly increased his own popularity and enlarged American prestige in the islands, but developed among the clerical authorities and the tenant farmers a vastly more neighborly spirit, and a more harmonious community of interest than had ever existed before. Mr. Taft carefully investigated all conditions relating to the Friars' Lands. He consulted the clerical landlords, the higher church authorities and the tenant farmers. Then he went to Rome, where his proposals for an amenable adjustment of the controversy received the cordial approval of the papal authorities. The Friars' Lands were purchased for a sum approximating $7,000,000. Clerical landlordism ceased and the property was divided into small parcels and sold on easy terms to former tenants and others desirous of engaging in agriculture.
The real importance of this transaction is appreciated only by those familiar with the manifold and delicate problems which have been encountered in the work of Americanizing the Philippines. The settlement of the affair by Mr. Tatt removed permanently a fruitful source of friction between the civil and the religious interests of the islands. It laid the foundation for kindlier relations and more intimate co-operation between the civil government and the autorities of the church. It set before the Filipinos a high example of American friendship and fair dealing which is bound to exert a wholesome moral and educational influence for many years to come.
Free Trade Fallacy.
Our free trade friends have told us for years and years that if we do not buy we cannot sell, but we have gone on doing both at a wondrously increasing rate, but selling just enough more than we buy to meet all foreign obligations and keep our gold as a bulwark of redemption. That has been the Republican method, and that is going to continue to be the Republican method.—Hon. James S. Sherman.
ROCKEFELLER'S OWN DEFENSE
HE ENTERS DENIAL OF CRIMES CHARGED AGAINST STANDARD OIL COMPANY.
DID NOT CUT PRICES
SAYS INDUSTRIAL COMBINATIONS ARE NECESSARY AND SHOULD BE ENCOURAGED.
New York.—John D. Rockefeller appears for the first time in the role of an author in a series of articles on "Some Random Reminiscences of Men and Events," the first of which will appear on Friday, in an October magazine.
Rockefeller gives as a reason for speaking now, that "if a tenth of the things that have been said are true, then dozens of able and faithful men who have been associated with me, many of whom have passed away, must have been guilty of grave faults. For myself, I had decided to say nothing, hoping that after my death the truth would gradually come to the surface and posterity would do strict justice; but while I live and can testify to certain things it seems fair that I should refer to some points which I hope will help to set forth several much discussed happenings in a new light. I am convinced that they have not been fully understood.
"It has been said that I forced the men who became my partners in the oil business to join with me. I would not have been so shortsighted. If it were true that I followed such tactics, I ask, would it have been possible to make of such men lifelong companions?"
Rockefeller speaks of the development of the Standard Oil Company and says that the plan of selling direct to the consumer and the exceptionally rapid growth of the business, "bred a certain antagonism which I suppose could not have been avoided." He says:
"We did not ruthlessly go after the trade of our competitors and attempt to ruin it by cutting prices or instituting a spy system," If any of the employees of the company were overzealous in going after sales, he says that they acted in violation of the expressed and known wishes of the company.
Rockefeller says that in the early days the oil industry was considered a most hazardous undertaking.
Further on he says, "Another thing to be remembered about the so-called 'octopus,' is that there has been no water introduced into the capital (perhaps we felt that oil and water would not have mixed), nor in all these years has any one had to wait for money which the Standard owed.
"It is a common thing to hear people say that this company has crushed out its competitors. Only the uninformed could make such an assertion. It has and always has had, and always will have, hundreds of active competitors. The Standard has not now and never did have a royal road to supremacy, nor is its success due to any one man, but to the multitude of able men who are working together."
In discussing "the modern corporation, Rockefeller says:
"It is too late to argue about the advantage of industrial combinations. They are a necessity. And if Americans are to have the privilege of extending their business in all the states of the Union and into foreign countries as well, they are a necessity on a large scale and require the agency of more than one corporation."
Captains Charged With Cowardice
Seattle, Wash.—A telegram from Ft. Wrangell, Alaska, says: Captain Wagner of the bark Star of Bengal, which was wrecked on Coronation island with a loss of 110 lives was unconscious for an hour after he was rescued. He charges the captains of the tugs Kyah and Hattie Gage, who cut loose from him, with rank cowardice. Unable to speak above a whisper, Captain Wagner wrote the following:
"When the tugs cut the tow line we were lying in ten fathoms of water and for four hours hoped for help from the tugs. We burned blue lights, but the tugs would not come in. Had they done so every man aboard could have been saved. I will send both tug captains to the penitentiary if possible for their cowardice. My sounding gave seventeen fathoms of water when I dropped anchor and ten fathoms when the anchor line paid out. The wind did not blow hard until 8 o'clock and the water was not too rough to come alongside."
The survivors of the wreck number twenty-seven. The ship broke in three pieces and is a complete loss.
Lumber Losses by Fire.
Chicago.—Lumber losses in the West continue unprecedentedly heavy, largely because of the prolonged drouth. Three were reported Wednesday in this field, and the insurance lists Thursday are made up largely of lumber losses. In addition to these it understood that at least $100,000 of loss is involved on poles, ties and lumber scattered throughout the woods burned by the Minnesota and Wisconsin forest fires. The lumber losses in New England alone last week amounted to $750,000
HELPFUL ADVICE
A
You won't tell your family doctor the whole story about your private illness—you are too modest. You need not be afraid to tell Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass., the things you could not explain to the doctor. Your letter will be held in the strictest confidence. From her vast correspondence with sick women during the past thirty years she may have gained the very knowledge that will help your case. Such letters as the following, from grateful women, establish beyond a doubt the power of
LYDIA E. PINKHAM'S VEGETABLE COMPOUND
to conquer all female diseases.
Mrs. Norman R. Barndt, of Allentown, Pa., writes:
"Ever since I was sixteen years of age I had suffered from an organic derangement and female weakness; in consequence I had dreadful headaches and was extremely nervous. My physician said I must go through an operation to get well. A friend told me about Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and I took it and wrote you for advice, following your directions carefully, and thanks to you I am today a well woman, and I am telling all my friends of my experience."
FACTS FOR SICK WOMEN.
For thirty years Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made from roots and herbs, has been the standard remedy for female illis, and has positively cured thousands of women who have been troubled with displacements, inflammation, ulceration, fibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, that bearing-down feeling, flatulency, indigestion, dizziness, or nervous prostration.
Socialism in Japan.
Socialism has no footing in this country as yet, nor is there any indication that it will gain a footing in the near future at all events. Prior to the war with Russia a small coterie of men calling themselves socialists argued vehemently against the opening of hostilities and published a newspaper organ to propagate their creed. But they soon dwindled into insignificance, and although a periodical of so-called socialist views continues to be published it has no influence, nor does it serve any purpose, apparently, except to furnish material for occasional comment on the part of amused readers.—Japanese Weekly Mall.
DEEP CRACKS FROM ECZEMA
Could Lay Slate-Pencil in One—Hands in Dreadful State—Permanent Cure in Cuticura.
"I had eczema on my hands for about seven years and during that time I had used several so-called remedies, together with physicians' and druggists' prescriptions. The disease was so bad on my hands that I could lay a slate-pencil in one of the cracks and a rule placed across the hand would not touch the pencil. I kept using remedy after remedy, and while some gave partial relief, none relieved as much as did the first box of Cuticura Ointment. I made a purchase of Cuticura Soap and Ointment and my hands were perfectly cured after two boxes of Cuticura Ointment and one cake of Cuticura Soap were used. W. H. Dean, Newark, Del., Mar. 28, 1907."

KEEP HIM THERE.
THE regular Republican ticket in Denver county carries the name of a Colored man. The irregular ticket left the Colored brother off. Whatever compromises or dickers are contemplated in the effort to unite these divided factions, we must insist upon the Colored candidate remaining upon the ticket. The times demand this as an evidence of the consistency of Republican principles. Keep him there and elect him.
WORK WELL DONE
THE Republican county, state and legislative conventions have completed a big and important work, and the full Republican ticket is now before the people of Denver county and the state at large. Having on their hands the settlement of the serious differences existing between conflicting organizations as well as the nomination of a ticket capable of commanding the respect and confidence of the voters of Colorado, the state convention performed its duties with despatch as well as wisdom. When the representatives of the entire state come together, if they are Republicans, there is little disposition to prolong local factional quarrels, but questions of political consistency, regularity and party welfare weigh heavily with the otherwise disinterested delegates, and decisions, therefore, are quickly reached. It is all folly to contend that such decisions are revolutionary, unwise or unjust, for they represent the candid judgment of men whose duties require them to judge. By such decisions the organization is kept clear of tangles, and the man who feels injured has but to bide his time to prove the justice of his cause. But such decisions are usually right, and should be promptly acquiesced in and upheld by the rank and file of the party. To bolt such a decision is party treason and the rankest kind of political indiscretion. Hence our plea for party harmony. The tickets nominated by the various conventions of the Republican party are strong, clean, representative tickets. The fact that the Colored people are given a representative on the legislative ticket is a strong argument in favor of the continued loyalty of the colored vote. The Democratic party will not do this much, even when claiming a division of the Colored vote. The Republican party is the only progressive party. It is wise enough to right even the errors of its own leaders, which is proof conclusive of its progressiveness. Considering all the political turmoil that exists in Colorado we should give full credit to the endeavor of Republican leaders to deal fairly with the Colored vote. It indicates a renewed welding of interests along old lines and gives us an improved outlook. The campaign is now before us, and a fair contemplation of the work accomplished by the Republican conventions in the settlement of difficulties and the nomination of an array of unapproachable candidates makes it apparent that their work has been well done.
THE GOLDEN RULE REMEDY.
THE most brilliant, most exhaustive and by far the most enlightening series of articles on the race question ever given to the American public was concluded in the September number of the American Magazine. Ray Stannard Baker is the gifted author of the series, which extended over a period of one year. We have frequently reviewed the installments, as they appeared, giving to our readers who did not read the articles for themselves, some idea of the deep logic as well as the truthfulness and extreme fairness toward both the white and the colored people which characterized the entire series. But with the deep admiration for the writer who could thus go to the depths of the greatest national, and perhaps world, problem of modern times, we have always felt filtering in a doubt, perhaps born of fear or intuition, of the efficacy of a final solution of a human condition so grave and perplexing, coming from the heart of one so magnanimous, so sympathetic and so entirely human. Mr. Baker's conclusion is that time, education, patience, mutual service and sympathy—indeed, the application of the working principle established by the Great Teacher, the principle of the golden rule—these are the necessary ingredients, and, combined, this is the only real or possible solution of the Negro problem. But used as we are to the slow processes of time and its generations and to the shifting and changing of appearances without great change in fundamental conditions, we feel some disappointment in the conclusion. It is beautiful in theory but puts a strain upon our faith in the present day acceptance of the religion of Jesus. The millenium is not at hand. Human nature, or call it the animal nature in man, is slow to reform. Race repulsion, if not race hatred, has endured throughout the ages. Can the white man become reconciled to the Negro while he retains his known revulsion for the yellow or brown races of men? Can any race, in the present age, put away that instinct which throughout history has preserved its distinctive species? At any rate, can the caucasion race do this? Is there not logic and true nature and destiny after all in the "irrepressible conflict" of races, whether that conflict be violent or "diplomatic," and out of which the fittest must come as survivors? The Negroes must not always remain a subject, subservient people, and if not, then the problem may change only in aspect, while that unrelenting force which adjusts the affairs of the world regardless of human design, works on and on.

HON. TIMOTHY O'CONNER.
There is a flavor of the "old sod" about the name of Timothy O'Connor. There is unmistakable evidence of good nature and a rich fund of sparkling humor beaming from a pair of twinkling blue eyes. The reward of Timothy O'Connor as Secretary of State, unquestionably earned him a renomination for the same position by the Republicans. Mr. O'Connor was born near Waukegan, Wis., in 1851. He was educated in the normal and scientific schools at Sharon, Wis. In 1877 he went to Ohio and from there came to Colorado in 1879. He located at Leadville, and became a miner, working underground. He soon impressed his employers of his ability for something better. He became superintendent for a number of years of the Robert E. Lee at Leadville and later of the Belden at Red Cliff. During spare time he read law and was admitted to practice by the Colorado Supreme Court.
He preferred to continue mining. He was elected clerk of the Sixth General Assembly, and by his marked executive ability, he did the work with three clerks that required thirty at a later assembly. He was elected a member of the Eighth General Assembly and again for the Ninth, but was swept away by the great Populist victory. He has served as Deputy Secretary under Secretary Cowie for four years and to his efforts is much credit due for the present excellent condition of that office. Mr. O'Conner lives at Boulder, where he enjoys the confidence and respect of his neighbors. Not only should Mr. O'Conner be commended for the careful manner in which his office has been conducted. But this department has been especially friendly to the Colored people. During the entire term one of our ladies has held a clerical position, and acquitted herself with credit. There is no doubt but that our people will continue to enjoy this patronage under Mr. O'Conner.

HON. CLARENCE C. HAMLIN
LOOMING high in the sky of brilliant political possibilities in this great year of 1908 is the name of Clarence C. Hamlin, of El Paso county. He is in the forefront of the candidates for the United States senatorship from the state of Colorado, and while the honor of his present position is not such as may be easily attained, it has come to Mr. Hamlin as the natural result of a highly active and brilliant political and business career, ranging over a period of twelve years. The past twelve years in Colorado have been strenuous years, and El Paso county has had her full share of stirring incidents in the adjustment of business, mining and labor difficulties which required the application of the most untiring energies of men with shrewd and statesmanlike brains. A lawyer by profession, mining promoter of some degree, an investor in the beet sugar and irrigation projects now rapidly developing in the West, his material interest in Colorado's welfare is wide and binding and in common with every loyal citizen he stands for the state's greatest development and progress. As district attorney for El Paso county he became widely known in a public way, and as a miner and promoter his reputation spread throughout the central counties. His unusual brilliancy and ability applied in political affairs, coupled with a genial personality, often absent among men of his ability, have so increased his popularity that the demand for his political elevation is quite as much a matter of the rank and file of the Republican party throughout the state as of his ardent friends and followers at home. In many ways he has demonstrated his power as a leader and his hold upon the affections of the people is unmistable and profound.
He came to Colorado from Wyoming, where he enjoyed public honors. He is a member of various orders and business organizations and stands high socially. He has been endorsed for the United States Senatorship by El Paso, Clear Creek, Teller, Fremont, Mesa and a number of other important counties.
RACE NEWS
GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES
Chicago's first Negro bank recently opened its doors. It is owned by Mr. Jesse Binga, who for the past seven years has with much success conducted a real estate business in that city. Mr. Binga's real estate and banking businesses and his safety deposit vaults occupy the whole of the large three-story brick building owned by him at the corner of Thirty-sixth and State streets. Altogether Chicago contains over two hundred colored men in various kinds of business. The city has three colored weekly newspapers, the Defender, the Conservator and the Broad Ax.
Four Springfield, Ill., policemen are among the one hundred and seventeen persons whom the grand jury called to investigate the recent race riot.
Lexington, Ky., Sept. 16.—Rev. J. W. Hawkins, retiring moderator of the Baptist general association of Kentucky, one of the most noted Negroes in the State, died today of heart disease as a result of excitement growing out of an attempt made last night by a state guardsman to arrest Hawkins' son, accused of selling liquor.
Des Moines, Ia., Sept. 13. Strange as it may seem, it is nevertheless true that the growth and bitterness of color prejudice is a product of white people's Christianity. From the Masonic fraternity to the Church, to the home, to the schoolhouse, all of Christian foundling and nourishing, one may trace prejudice as a viper, coiling itself around every institution professedly Christian. And now Highland Park College, of this city, has drawn the color line. This is the first Iowa educational institution to exclude colored students, and the action has caused resentment among the thousands in the State. Highland Park College has an enrollment of 2500 students, and several colored students have been in the classes. President Longwell, in announcing the drawing of the color line, declared he had nothing personally against the blacks; that they had conducted themselves well; but that the white students compelled the action by refusing to attend chapel or walk into classes with the colored scholars.
Chicago, Sept. 14.—Miss Elizabeth B. Slaughter, 3544 Dearborn street, has sued Miss Eudora Johnson, 5830 Wabash avenue, sister to the late John Johnson, to whom Miss Slaughter was engaged to be married. Mr. Johnson is represented to have been worth $800000. The case number is 10,000 Curcuit Court. E. H. Morris, attorney for plaintiff.
Brooklyn, Illinois, a town about 1,900 people, has very few Caucasians within its confines. The mayor, fire marshal, chief of police and members of the town council are all Negroes. Its local superintendent of Instruction, who is colored, supervises two schools, one of which contains all the white pupils of the town and has but one teacher, who is white. The town is electrically lighted and contemplates putting in a sewer system at an early date.

Captain Thomas Campbell is the Republican nominee for Representative to the General Assembly. Mr. Campbell was born at Springfield, Mo., and graduated from Lincoln Institute, Jefferson City, in 1884. Leaving school, he secured a clerical position in the General Land Office at Washington, D. C. He attended Howard University, graduating from the Law Department in 1893. Secretary Hoke Smith let him out of the department and he returned to Springfield to practice law. At the opening of the Spanish-American War, he raised two companies, and was commissioned First Lieutenant in the Seventh Immune Regiment. Returning from Cuba, he re-inlisted and was commissioned Captain, went to the Philippine Islands where he saw service. Returning from the Islands he began the practice of law and engaged in other lines of business. He came to Colorado in 1903 and located in Denver, where he has made many friends. He is deserving of the support of all the voters in the coming election.

this without seruple, a blind race preju-

The Limit
Mrs. A.—I understand your husband is fond of an argument.
Mrs. Z.—Yes, indeed! Why, he even refuses to eat anything that agrees with him.—Chicago News.
Against the Law.
"In Switzerland this summer," said a Philadelphia, "I heard Charlemagne Tower describe the stringent police regulations of Berlin.
"Mr. Tower, by way of illustration, concluded with a little story.
"Schmidt and Krauss met one morning in the park.
"Have you heard,' says Schmidt,
'the sad news about Muller?"
"No,' said Krauss. 'What is it?"
"Well, poor Muller went boating on
the river yesterday. The boat capsized
and he was drowned. The water was
ten feet deep.'
"But couldn't he swim?"
"Swim? Don't you know that all persons are stricly forbidden by the police to swim in the river?"
No Ordinary Kicker
Mr. Blank entered a well known restaurant and ordered two fried eggs. When the order was served he was vexed to find a dead fly lying in the middle of one of the eggs.
But Mr. Blank was no ordinary mortal, and instead, of flying, into a rage and calling the manager of the restaurant, he turned to the waiter and blandly said: "You have forgotten something. Where is my other fly?"
Timely Advice.
When, not long ago, Mark Twain revisited Elmira, whose citizens still claim him as one of them, he was invited to address the inmates of the State reformatory. Seeking to illustrate a point in his talk, he drew a handsome gold watch from his pocket, and said:
"For instance, take my watch——"
He got no further. Many of the inmates had been placed in the institution for taking watches, and the humor of the illustration seemed to strike every listening convict. Gleeful shouts of recognition and approval went up on all sides, and the speaker hesitated and realized that, temporarily, at least, he had lost.
She Got One Hundred.
Marjorie, aged nine, had not been having very satisfactory reports from school. Her father finally said: "Marjorie, for the first hundred you get I'll give you a dollar." Time went on and the reward could not be claimed. One day the child was taken violently ill. Her mother sent for the doctor. When he had gone, Marjorie said: "Mama, am I very ill?" "No, dear; your temperature is a little over 100, but the doctor thinks you will be all right in a day or so." Smiles broke through Marjorie's tears. "Now, mama, I can have my dollar. Papa said he would give it to me if I could get a hundred in anything."
Very Tempting.
A man was brought before a justice of the peace charged with the offense of kissing a young woman "by force and violence, and against her will." The young lady, who was very handsome, gave her testimony in a modest and straightforward manner, after which his honor gave the following decision:
"The court in this case sympathizes with the defendant, and will therefore discharge him without fine, imprisonment or reprimand, because the court, while this case has been in progress, has been obliged to hold on to both arms of his chair to keep from kissing the complainant himself."

AVOID RISK IN BUYING PAINT.
You take a good deal of risk if you buy white lead without having absolute assurance as to its purity and quality. You know white lead is often adulterated, often misrepresented. But there's no need at all to take any chances. The "Dutch Boy Painter" trade mark of the National Lead Company, the largest makers of genuine white lead, on a package of White Lead, is a positive guarantee of purity and quality. It's as dependable as the Dollar Sign. If you'll write the National Lead Company, Woodbridge Bldg., New York City, they will send you a simple and certain outfit for testing white lead, and a valuable book on paint, free.
LEST HE FORGET.
No Roseate Postcard Without Its Thorn of Suggestion.
Harold's mother—we'll call him Harold—went abroad a month ago, leaving Harold under the somewhat unsubstantial control of his elder sisters. In spite of the itemized directions with which even unto the moment of final leave-taking she had not ceased to bombard him, Harold's mother was far from sure that her efforts would have any lasting effect.
Her voyage was more or less disturbed by these doubts, but before she landed on the other side she had determined on a course of action. Like all small boys, Harold is most covetous of picture postcards and had looked forward to a harvest from his mother's trip. He got it.
Every day she sent at least one card. And whatever else it bore in the way of inscription, there was not one which failed of this introduction:
"Just as soon as you get this go and brush your teeth."
SHE GOT HER MAN—HAPPY
Indian Woman Not Likely to Be Left Far Behind in life's Battle.
Writing of the famous Dean Kaye of Topeka, in Suburban Life, Paul A. Lovewell, says:
"Dean Kaye has had interesting experiences during his soujourns in the wilderness. Once an Indian woman came to his cabin.
"‘You marry?’ she asked.
"Yes,' said the dean, 'I can marry folks. Have you got a man?"
"Again the woman grunted, and departed. About sundown she returned, dragging with her an apparently abashed and reluctant brave.
"Got him,' she remarked, laconically, producing her marriage license. The man knew no English, but the woman prompted him when it became necessary for him to give his assent to the dean's questions. When it was over the squaw paid the minister his fee and led her husband away in trit umph."
EGOISM.
Mistress—Bridget, it always seems to me that the crankiest mistresses get the best cooks.
Cook—Ah, go on wid yer blarney!
Fixity of Purpose.
The man who succeeds above his fellows is the one who, early in life, clearly discerns his object, and toward that object habitually directs his powers. Even genius itself is but fine observation strengthened by fixity of purpose. Every man who observes vigiantly and resolves steadfastly grows unconsciously into genius.—Bulwer-Lytton.
"That's the parson that married me." "Shall I soak him one for you?" Simplicissimus.
AFRAID TO EAT
"Several years ago I was actually starving," writes a Me. girl, "yet dared not eat for fear of the consequences. "I had suffered from indigestion from overwork, irregular meals and improper food, until at last my stomach became so weak. I could eat scarcely any food without great distress.
"Many kinds of food were tried, all with the same discouraging effects. I steadily lost health and strength until I was but a wreck of my former self.
"Having heard of Grape-Nuts and its great merits, I purchased a package, but with little hope that it would help me—I was so discouraged.
"I found it not only appetizing but that I could eat it as I liked and that it satisfied the craving for food without causing distress, and if I may use the expression, 'it filled the bill.'"
"For months Grape-Nuts was my principal article of diet. I felt from the very first that I had found the right way to health and happiness, and my anticipations were fully realized.
"With its continued use I regained my usual health and strength. To-day I am well and can eat anything I like, yet Grape-Nuts food forms a part of my bill of fare." "There's a Reason."

WHEN MEAT IS LEFT OUT.
Two Good Recipes That Will Provide Substantial Diet.
Cream Crabs in Peppers.—If you live near salt water where crabs are obtainable this is a most inexpensive dish. If you are not in a crab country, substitute any good white fish with a firm texture. Select large green sweet peppers of uniform size, one for each person. Cut off enough of the stem ends to make the vegetable set firmly but do not make an opening through which the juice can come. Cut off the tops, scrape out the seeds and throw into ice water to soak for an hour. For six peppers make the following mixture: A coffee cupful of crab meat, flaked after the crabs have been boiled. In a porcelain or enameled saucepan melt one tablespoonful of flour. Add slowly one cup of milk, stirring all the while. When this has come to a boil remove the pan from the fire, add a beaten yolk of one egg, a large teaspoon of chopped parsley, a little lemon juice, salt and paprika. Add the crab meat, return to the fire and bring to boiling point. Remove immediately, wipe out the pepper cases with a soft cloth and fill with the fish mixture; place in a brick oven and bake ten minutes.
Scrambled Eggs and Mushrooms.—An economical dish for the out-of-town housewife who knows where and how to gather mushrooms. For six people a quarter of a pound of mushrooms will be required. They are light in weight. Skin the tops, scrape the stems and wash in cold water; have ready some melted butter, drop in the mushrooms, whole if they are small, halved if they are large; shake vigorously until they are lightly browned, and then set on the back of the stove while you prepare your eggs. Warm a cup of rich milk in which you melt two tablespoons of butter, salt and pepper to taste. In another bowl beat six eggs, whites and yolks together. Stir in the mushrooms and the seasoned milk last. Turn the mixture into a porcelain lined or enameled frying pan, rubbed with butter. Cook over a moderate fire until the eggs are set, using a silver fork to keep the cooked portion from sticking to the bottom and sides of the pan. Serve on hot toast garnished with parsley.
PRACTICAL HINTS for the HOUSEWIFE
To keep poached eggs in shape set the water whirling with a spoon and drop the egg in the center of the maelstrom. The motion rounds the eggs.
Place eggs on table. With the finger and thumb try to spin them. A good egg will only twirl a little while; a bad one will spin like a top. Put the broiler pan of your gas range up in the oven and set your pie in it. The pie will bake just as well and if the juice runs out, and it always does, it will not burn and smoke.
Citron which stands awhile is difficult to cut, as it gets extremely hard. If taken and placed in a colander and held over steam for a short while it will regain its original freshness and be ready for use.
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 white 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.
Corn Entree.
Score and scrape a dozen ears of corn, put the pulp in a bowl or dish and steam for 20 minutes. Meantime put one pound of finely chopped raw beef in a saucepan with two tablespoonfuls of butter; stir over a moderate fire until the juices of the meat are well drawn out, then put in a meat or potato press, a little at at time, and press out every drop of the juice. Return this to the fire, season with salt, pepper and a suspicion of mace and thyme; stir in sufficient flour wet in cold water to make a little thicker than cream, the exact quantity depending on the amount of gravity. Butter a baking dish, put in it the corn which has been seasoned and pour over it the gravy. Over all put a thick layer of grated swiss cheese and bake in a hot oven until the cheese is well browned. Send at once to the table.
Moth Killer.
Saturate a cloth 12 inches square with formaldehyde; put in closet, closing the door for 12 hours. Also put a cloth in trunk or boxes where clothes are stored. The fumes will kill the eggs, moths, or germs of any kind and leave no odor in the clothing. Repeat this during the summer, and your house will be free from moths.
Boiled Icing.
Put a pound of granulated sugar over the fire with a small cup of water and bring to a boil. Do not stir. When it spins a thread from the tip of a fork take from the fire and when it begins to cool a little stir and beat to a soft mass. To use this for icing heat a little in a vessel set in hot water and spread on quickly. Flavor to taste.
Pork Pancake
Cut sweet salt pork into small pieces, fry a little and stir into a good griddle batter. Put into a bread pan and bake to a nice brown. A little sugar is an improvement. Pancakes are good made with apples, instead of the pork.

WHEN YOU GET RICH.
Only Then Are You Appreciated for Your True Worth.
Upton Sinclair, the novelist, was talking about wealth at Lake Placid.
"It is pleasant to be rich" he said.
"Nobody can deny that. Many of the pleasures of wealth, though, are false and mistaken ones.
"When I was making my living by the composition of blood and thunder tales for boys—and I could turn out my $8,600 words a day—I knew a pale, bent, ink-stained old chap who wrote love stories.
"His stories did not pay; he was very poor; but an aunt died, and suddenly the old fellow found himself a millionaire.
"He saw me one afternoon on Broadway. He stopped his red car and we chatted about old times.
"And is it pleasant to be rich?" I asked.
"Yes, it is," he answered, as he lighted a Vuelto Abajos and handed me another. 'And do you know what is the pleasantest thing about it? You have an opportunity to make real friends, friends who can understand you. You get at last to know people capable of esteeming you for your own qualities alone. You find, sir, that you are at last appreciated."
A Doctor's Disadvantage.
"In one way," said a collector, "it is easier to get money from a doctor than anybody else who is slow pay. It is more difficult for him to swear that he hasn't been able to make any collections himself since the first of the year. A doctor's reception room is open to all possible patients. A collector with a grain of ingenuity can find a way to worm out of the men on the waiting list information as to the terms of payment. After an interview with three or four persons who have paid spot cash for treatment and who have told the collector they paid, it takes a mighty nerve on the part of the doctor to insist that he hasn't a dollar to his name."
ONE KIDNEY GONE
But Cured After Doctors Said There Was No Hope.
Sylvanus O. Verrill, Milford, Me., says: "Five years ago a bad injury paralyzed me and affected my kidneys. My back hurt me terribly, and the urine was badly discolored. Doctors said my right kidney was practically dead. They said I could never walk again. I read
paralyzed me and affected my kidneys. My back hurt me terribly, and the urine was badly discolored. Doctors said my right kidney was practically dead. They said I could never walk again. I read of Doan's Kidney Pills and began using them. One box made me stronger and freer from pain. I kept on using them and in three months was able to get out on crutches, and the kidneys were acting better. I improved rapidly, discarded the crutches and to the wonder of my friends was soon completely cured."

Women Fishermen
On the coast of Holland, Belgium and Northern France the fisherwomen are a familiar sight, with their great hand nets and quaint costumes. Many of the towns have distinctive costumes by which their women can be recogized anywhere. Those of Mana-Kirke, near Ostend, wear trousers and loose blouses, while their heads and shoulders are covered by shawls. They carry their nets into the sea and scoop up vast quantities of shrimps and prawns, with an occasional crab or lobster and many small fish. They often wade out till the water is up to their necks, and they remain for hours at a time in water above their knees, rarely returning until their baskets are full.
A Believer
"Do you believe in telepathy?" asked the mystical person. "What do you mean by telepathy?" asked Mr. Dustin Stax. "Thought transfer—the faculty that enables one person to know what another person is thinking about." "Oh, yes. There's my old friend, Mr. Skinboodle. I know what he's thinking about this very minute."
Even the Hash.
Embarrassed in the fashionable restaurant by the menu written in French, the Wall street man of business exclaimed:
"Hang these froids, entrements and hors d'oeuvres—bring me a plate of good plain hash, if you've got such a thing on the premises."
"You mean an olla podida, sir," said the waiter, in a tone of dignified reproach. "And afterwards?"

Populus China.
The population of the Chinese empire is largely a matter of estimate. There has never been such census of the empire as that which is taken every decade in this country. But the estimate of the Almanach de Gotha for 1900 may be taken as fairly reliable. According to that estimate, the population of the empire is, in round numbers, about 400,000,000. It is probably safe to say that if the human beings on earth were stood up in line every fourth one would be a Chinaman.

General Demand
of the Well-Informed of the World has always been for a simple, pleasant and efficient liquid laxative remedy of known value; a laxative which physicians could sanction for family use because its component parts are known to them to be wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, acceptable to the system and gentle, yet prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its excellent combination of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, the California Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies on the merits of the laxative for its remarkable success.
That is one of many reasons why Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given the preference by the Well-Informed. To get its beneficial effects always buy the genuine—manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents per bottle.

‘There is a fascination in making the
pretty little conveniences of whieh pic
tures are shown here. And it is a
great pleasure to remember one's
friends with them. A few odd lengths
of ribbon or seraps of silk and a little
time is about all that it takes to make
them, They provide an occupation for
moments that would otherwise — be
quite unemployed, when one is visit
ing or on @ vacation, and wishes little
attractive faney work to do. And how
convenient when Christmas time rolls
around with so many on the list of
those we long to remember and time
and money so “short.”
The pin cushion shown is of four
strips of figured ribbon stitched to:
gether and fastened at the top with
a bow of narrow ribbon, A square of
ribbon forms the bottom of this litle
square silk sack, which is stuffed with
cotton or sawdust, Pins of various
sizes and colors are thrust in the
figured portions, and larger pins are
placed along the seams.

soiled handkerehiefs is shown in the
BLUE BEST OF ALL.
Excellent Material to Use for the New
Autumn Suit.
In the autumn tailor suit tints there
12 numbered a new blue bearing the
honored name of Edison. This is also
among the faded shades: that is, so
soon as it 1s put into juxtaposition
with navy or peacock. At first glance
it seems to be of the electric family,
as naturally it should be, but it is
much more dull, a fact which does not
seem quite just to the great modern
magician whose name it bears. At
any rate, this new blue seems to take
with woman generally, and bids fair
to be tremendously popular for the
simpler type of tailormades. One rea-
son is that navy has been used for
so long and that peacock is rather
startling and has a way of swearing
at any other tint of azure with which
it is combined. As blue of a dull tone
is always a practical shade for yéar-
round utility wear, it is the best of
all colors for the woman who, greatly
against her natural inclination, must
make one costume do duty for a va-
riety of occasions.
WORK FOR LITTLE GIRLS.
Simple Hemstitching of Towels Is
fasily Taught.
Home-may face and hand towels
wear muct. jetter than ready-made
ones, and ia Go soft and pleasant to
sew that quite litvle girls are often
delighted to help with the simple hem-
stitching. Those for best use and the
apare room may have an insertion of
fine crochet or torchon lace, and this
is stronger than making a drawn
thread pattern in the huckaback, a
yard and a quarter of which should be
allowed for each towel.
One seldom sees fringed towels
nowadays, but if they are preferred
the fringes should be overcast before
they are taken into use. ‘This is done
by laying the edge of the towel over
the first finger of the left hand—hold-
ing the fringe between the first and
second fingers—and working an over-
cast stitch to prevent the loose
threads from unraveling. Linen
thread, not ordinary sewing cotton,
should be used for this purpose, as
also for hemstitching or drawn-
thread work on huckaback towels.

Tailormade Suit Accessories.
Much of the smart effect of any
tailormade suit depends upon its ac.
cessories. Needless to say, anything
savoring of the directoire should not
be accompanied by a linen collar and
a stiff ttle tle. These belong to what
is known as the English type of street
suit, meaning the severely tailored box
or semi-fitting coat and gored or plait-
ed skirt, minus trimming. With the
French model there should be a high
lace collar or a chiffon stock—giving
the desired soft effect about the chin
—and the frilly lacey front, in addition
to the wrist ruffles, which should be of
finest handweave or hand embroidery
immaculately white. »

Sond aol ecoetied Ns te Coser ties Soot meee ae a A
ing is offered in the way of helping
Ne successfully perform the task:
‘To prepare peas for canning, pour
Into a colander, Rinse them thor-
oughly and put in saucepan. Add
three very large cooking spoonfuls of
cold water, salt, a little sugar, enough
to make them taste like a sweet pea,
and a lump of butter. Set the sauce-
pan in another of hot water, cover,
and cook for 30 minutes.
Corn to be canned must be fresh
and sweet. Split kernels lengthwise
with a knife, then scrape with back
of knife, thus leaving the hulls upon
the cob, Fill glass jars full of corn,
pressing very hard to get all the
spaces filled up and the air crowded
out. Use ten or eleven ears (medium
size) to fill a quart jar. Put in no
water, but put on top rather loosely
or not real tight. Place a rack in
bottom of boiler (to prevent break-
age), fill boiler with cold water to
cover jars and boil three hours steady.
Do not let them stop boiling one min-
ute. Jars can be laid down on side in
boiler if preferred when canning vege-
tables. After removing from boiler
screw on tops tight. When cold see
that tops have not loosened. Set away
in dry, dark closet. i
‘Tomatoes for canning should not be
scalded to remove the skins. Instead,
lay them in a dripping pan and place
them in oven, letting them bake for a
few minutes, A black liquor will
come from them, which if not man-
aged in this way remains in the fruit,
causing them to spoil. When they are
partly cool peel them and cook them
for about 30 minutes in a boiler, or
until they are done as they would be
for the table. Fill cans and seal them
at once. Do not season them until
you wish to use them. When they are
lo be used on the table, if cooked
enough when put up, they will only
need a thorough heating and season:
ing. Always use perfectly ripe, fresh
tomatoes to can, and do not use them
after August.
'To can beets, place In a saucepan,
cover with cold water and cook until
tender. This will take about an hour
in summer and four in winter—possi-
bly longer. Do not pierce or bruise, or
they will bleed and lose color and fla-
vor. When tender, skin, cool, pack in
jars and cover with very salt water
that has been boiled and cooled. wisg
cooled put in a boiler of cold watery
cook an hour with the cover partly
off, then a half hour with it serewed
tight. benzoate of soda and borax or
borie acid are the preservatives
most largely used in the commercial-
ly prepared vegetables. But these are
not necessary if the best raw materi-
als are selected in the first place and
the canning is done with absolute
cleanliness and a due regard for sani-
tation. In an examination conducted
at Washington as to the effects of
borax and boric acid on the system it
was proved that 83 per cent. of the
borax used on the “poison squad,” as
the young men who were testing its
effect on themselves were called, af-
fected the kidneys.
| Blueberries can be canned without
‘sugar and taste more like the fresh
fruit for use in pies, shortcakes and
puddings. if preferred sweet, allow
‘a half cup of sugar to a quart of ber-
ies, excepting in the case of swamp
berries, when a cup of sugar is none
too much. In putting up without
‘sugar, pick over and wash the berries,
‘drain, then pack in jars, filling as full
as possible, Pass a silver knife down
around the sides to help them settle
into place. Pour boiling water over
the fruit, going over and adding more
boiling water as the fruit settles and
absorbs the water, When filled to
running over, screw air-tight and
keep in a cool, dark place.
_ To every three pounds of pears al-
Tow 1% pounds of sugar and a_ halt
pint of water. Peel pears and lay
‘them in cold water to keep them from
‘turning black. When sirup is boiling
‘put in pears and cook until they are
clear and a fork will go into them
easily. Have jars standing in pan of
hot water, and carefully fill them with
the fruit. Pour sirup over them, fill-
ing to top. Seal at once,
Stem grapes and heat gently until
when mashed the juice will run easily.
Strain them through a colander and
cloth bag. To one pint of juice allow
one pound of sugar, and to every quart
a scant quarter of a box of gelatin.
When the juice is put to boil add
gelatin and warm sugar in a tin basin,
watching it closely to see that it does
not burn. When the juice is boiled 20
minutes run it through a hair sieve,
let it boil again and add the sugar.
When it bubbles up once remove from
fire. It is very hard to make grapes
and cherries “fell” without gelatin.
