ROOSE May Seek Some Solution of Fountain Head. Stud Door of Hope Washington, Sept. 23.—No story concerning President Roosevelt in a long time has aroused so much interest as the one to the effect that the main purpose of his projected visit to Africa is not big game at all but to study the Negro on his native soil. We are told that Mr. Roosevelt believes the race question is the gravest one confronting American statesmanship today, and that a study of the Negro in Africa may go a long way toward solving the problem of the Negro in America. There is an intimation that Mr. Roosevelt is convinced that, upon retiring from the presidency, he can devote his time no more profitably than to a study of this question. Here lies a field of endeavor with possibilities of achievement vast enough to satisfy the stupendous energy of even Theodore Roosevelt. If he can take the lead in a solution of this problem so perplexing that the wisest grow grave in contemplating it, he will have a place in history unexcelled by any other American—unexcelled in the history of man anywhere. No other question has so engrossed the best thought of the present generation of Americans, and a solution is no nearer at hand than it was a generation ago, while the need of a solution is much more imperative. It is said President Lincoln had in mind some scheme of colonization, and colonization is the only thing that has been proposed in the way of solution. The obstacles in the way of colonization are so vast, so apparently insuperable, that the bravest have qualified before them. One great man expressed the view when he said that separation was absolutely impossible. Can Roosevelt overdome these obstaclese? He probably come as near as any living man. Certainly the job is big enough to satisfy him and to keep him busy the rest of his natural life. In discussing the matter it must be remembered that President Roosevelt has never said publicly that he believes in colonizing the Negro. But it is well known that he appreciates the necessity of doing something in a situation that is all the time growing more acute, and that he has given some of his best thought to the problem. The years since the civil war have demonstrated that the races cannot dwell together in amity, that in enforced propinquity of dwelling ORIGINAL IN POOR CONDITION there is ever the dread prospect of race conflict, the cruelist, most ruthless warfare man ever engages in. The best of the Negroes do not aspire to social equally. To this the white man especially the white man of the South, will not concent. Nor, is denial of political equality confined to the South. In the North the Negro may vote and hold minor offices, but Massachusetts, nor Ohio, nor Montana would suffer a Negro to be governor nor send him to the senate of the United States. The Negro enjoys rudimentary political rights in the North because, he is not there in sufficient numbers to constitute a political menace. If he were there is no reason to doubt that Massachusetts would go as far as Mississippi in determination to prevent political domination by the Negro. No thinking man blames the Negro for desiring political equality. Thousands of them are educated and honest and much more worthy of enfranchisement than thousands of white men who enjoy full political rights. There are scores of Negroes equipped in mentality and character to fill the highest places in the land. Legally and theoretically they have just as much right to political perform as the white man. Practically the Negro is an outcast and an alien, and will always be. It was President Roosevelt who declared the door of hope should not be closed to any man because of his race or color. He made some unfortunate attempts to live up to his declaration, but in his heart he knows that in America the door of hope is closed to the man in whose veins flows the tainted blood of Africa. And he knows that it ever will be closed. When Mr. Roosevelt made his rash attempt to compel the South to accept the Negro as a political equal he was unripe in statesmanship and probably had given little thought to America's greatest problem. That he saw the impossibility of his course is evidenced by his having abandoned it. The South resented his early program and denounced him as a meddler. Is it possible the impulsive meddler with a thing he did not understand may be the Moses who will lead the way to light? There are not lacking evidences that for the past three or four years Mr. Roosevelt has been at work on the problem. He has conferred with Negro leaders, with southern white men and with thinkers, of the DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 3. 1908. State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House ronizing The ADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, North. Perhaps he even now has an embryonic plan. If he has set his heart to this task it would explain many things that have seemed inexplainable in the past. It is certain the country would eagerly receive any project he might unfold, and if it appeared he had found the solution untold resourses would be at his command. The Carnegies and the Rockefellers would be shown a use for their millions that would make the building of libraries and the endowing of universities seem foolish things. There are many Negro leaders who are just as anxious for a solution of the race problem as any white men, and upon the co-operation of these Mr. Roosevelt could count, provided he evolved a plan that promised a solution without injustice to the Negro. It goes without saying Mr. Roosevelt would not seek injustice to the Negro. There never was a time when a greater task awaited the coming of a man. It Mr. Roosevelt has in mind that he may be the man awaited, he will find his fellow-country-men eager to give him a trial. THE HAIRY HAND. The insincerity of the Democrats in their play for the Negro vote is well illustrated by the platform of their party in West Virginia. "We favor," say the West Virginia Democrats, "the enactment of a law requiring common carriers engaged in passenger traffic to furuish separate coaches or compartments for white and colored passengers." This is the jim-crow proposition in all it original splendor. But this is not a marker to what follows. Continuing, the West Virginia platform says: "Believing that the extension of the elective franchise to a race inferior in in intelligence and without preparation for the wise and prudent exercise of a privilege so vital to the maintenance of good government, was a mistake, if not a crime committed by the Republican party, during the reign of passion and prejudice following the civil war, for political ends and purposes, we declare that the Democratic party is in favor of so amending the constitution as to preserve the purity of the ballot, and the electorate of the state from the evil results from conferring such power and privilege upon those who are unfitted to appreciate its importance, as it affects the stability and preservation of good government." There is about this one commendable feature. It is honest. Here are expressed the true sentiments of the Democratic party with respect to the Negro. The colored man will do well to ponder some before deciding to cast his lot with his new found friends" in this campaign and on the coming election day. This slipping loose of the mask in West Virginia gives a glimpse of the true Democratic attitude toward him that surely will keep the Negro from falling into the trap that has been set for him. Everything the Negro has in the way of civil rights came to him from the Republican party. To that party he must look for anything that is to come to him in the future. The Democratic party has done nothing for him but to kick him and defraud him at every turn of the road. The hairy hand which sticks out in West Virginia is sufficient evidence that there is to be no change in the party policy.—Exchange. COLORED MASONS TO BUILD TEMPLE The project of erecting a Masonic temple in Boston which has been under consideration for two year by the colored Masons of the state, received an impetus by a proposition that colored Masons all over the country contribute toward its expense, and erect it as a memorial to Prince Hall, the founder of Masonry among people in this country. This suggestion was made by Col. James Lewis of New Orleans at a meeting of grand lodge officers of about 22 colored Masonic jurisdictions at the home of William Lloyd Marshall, grand master of Prince Hall grand lodge in Newtonville. Col. Lewis said: "While there is a monument over the grave of Prince Hall at Copps Hill burying ground, still this monument was not erected by the colored Masons of the United States; it was erected by Prince Hall grand lodge of Massachusetts. One hundred years have passed since the first Negro grand lodge of Masons was established in this country, and we ask you Massachusetts craftmen to let us in on the $100,000 building proposition, and we will send you the money to build it, and if that is not enough money we will send you more, as the tribute of colored Masons all over the country." At the conclusion of this address the matter was carefully discussed with the result that the gaand officers present agreed that immediately upon their return home they would lay it before their several jurisdictions so that within a year work can be commenced upon a permanent structure for regular colored Masons in Massachusetts. A site is already under consideration. Past Grand Master Boyd of Cleveland, Ohio submitted a proposition that each jurisdiction be asked to send a stone block to make a more enduring cover for the grave of Prince Hall in Copps Hill burying ground. Mr. Boyd was authorized to lay the matter before the grand lodges. NEGROES AT THE STATE FAIR. Among the exhibitors were Jno. D. Reeler, of Mason City, who showed some very fine poultry; W. M. Jackson, of Fremont, Neb., who had three splendid speed horses; Prof. Charles Glover, of Springfield, Ill., who had three beautiful High School saddle horses; Thos. Bass, of Mexico, Mo., who had a whole stable full of some of the finest bred horses ever exhibited on the grounds, nine head in all, including every class from ordinary roadster valued at $500 each to the highest grade of High School horses valued at $2000 each, and last but by no means of least importance by way of demonstrating the remarkable advancement the race is making, Henry Taylor, of Buxton, had on exhibition hand carved wooden images of Booker T. Washington, Paul Lawrence Dunbar, Abraham Lincoln and a number of others of the great men of our nation. Unquestionably the greatest amount of money was represented by the exhibits of Mr. Bass, which were estimated as being worth over $10,000, and with which, out of fifteen entries, he won ten firsts, four seconds and one third prize, and still complained that he had not received all he was entitled to. Truly the Negro was "in it" at the Iowa State Fair this year.—Iowa Colored Woman. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Memphis, Sept. 22.—A movement is on foot here to organize a stock company for the purpose of establishing a large department store for the Negro citizens. The movement is being headed by W. J. Harvey, who says stock will be put on the market shortly at $10 a share. Bluefield, W. Va., Sept. 17 — The body of Lou Stafford, a 10-year-old white girl, who has been missing since Monday night, was found tonight in a clump of bushes in the courthouse yard at Welsh, W. Va. The child was strangled to death after having been assaulted. There are threats of lynching. A white man is suspected, but no arrest has been made. Washington, D C., Sept. 22. Lewis H. Douglas, son of the late Frederick Douglas, died in Washington Saturday of paralysis. He was the first Negro composition NO. 2 to enter the employ of the Government Printing Office, and he subsequently became editor of the New National Era, a newspaper devoted to the colored race. He was a veteran of the Civil War. Albany, Ga., Sept. 29.—Every Negro church, schoolhouse and lodgeroom in an area of ten square miles, located in Baker, Early and Calhoun counties, was burned last night by a band of masked riders. In all about twenty buildings burned and a reign of terror has been created by the Negroes of that section. Besides applying the torch the night riders left notices warning the Negroes that unless they mend their ways they themselves will be given a taste of fire. Waxahachie, Texas, Sept. 30. Negroes near Sardis, this county, are in a panic today following an attack by night riders at the farm of J. J. Byrum, two miles west of Sardis. Many blacks are leaving today. Night riders riddled a large house occupied dy seven Negro cotton pickers. None were injured, but they fled the country next day, fearing death. It is said the object of the night riders' raids is to drive all Negroes from Ellis county, and that similar raids and attacks are likely to follow. The Rev. Lena Mason, a colored woman preacher, who through her preaching at the Parkside avenue "Jumbo" tent caused a split among the Negro Baptist preachers of the city, collected $14,780 during her month of services. This is the total amount which was deposited in bank from day to day, and which during the last week was divided between Mrs. Mason and the Rev. Chas. Blackwell, who brought her to this city to conduct his Chautauqua meetings. Mr. Blackwell is the pastor of the Central Baptist Church, Twenty third and Lombard streets. Because Mr. Blackwell allowed Mrs. Mason to preach under his auspices he was expelled from the Baptist Ministers' Union of this city, which, does not recognize women as "ordained ministers." Mrs. Mason came here from Louisville, Ky. At the time of his explusion Mr. Blackwell declared that he was not at all disturbed over the matter. He is one of the principal officers of the newly formed Baptist Ministers' Conference. —Philadelphia Tribune. English Dress for Indians.

Springfield, Mass.—Joe Abis was ejected from his boarding place at 26 Liberty street because he snored and said things in his sleep. Stephen Hello, the landlord, was the man who created considerable diversion for the neighbors by throwing the star boarder and his effects into the street. Abis slept on a cot in the kitchen, and before daylight in the morning he began to play a symphony on his nasal organ. He ran the scale so loud that he aroused all the sleepers in the house and they entered a protest. Hello made up his mind that the best way to stop the snorer was to throw him out, so an attempt was made to oust Abis. In the process tables were overturned and chairs hurled across the room. Finally Hello and Abis clinched in the street in front of the house, and the former exhibited red marks on his throat where he said the ejected boarder clutched him. Things quieted down before 12 o'clock, when Abis sought another boarding place. SUDDEN BATH DANCE FEATURE. Master of Ceremonies Hurled Into Pool by Alfred G. Vanderbilt. New York.—Ever since Alfred G. Vanderbilt's dance at Oakland Farms, Newport, those society people who were not present have been learning from their more fortunate friends what they missed. It was only the other day, however, that the secret got out. If fashion follows the lead set by Mr. Vanderbilt at his first dance following his divorce, it will hereafter insist that the master of ceremonies be chucked into a swimming pool, evening clothes and all, and made to swim for his life. That was what happened to Worthington Whitehouse, who led the cotillon at the Vanderbilt dance, and the host was the one that put him there. No, there wasn't any hard feeling about it. That is to say, there wasn't any as far as is known. While Mr. Whitehouse struck out boldly for the shore in his new evening garments the other guests, men and women, to the number of nearly a hundred, cheered uproariously. WANTS HIS WIFE TAMED. Long-Suffering Husband Appeals for Federal Aid. Washington.—In an imposing document, covering 42 solid typewritten pages and teeming with reports of fistic encounters and contact with stove lids and other domestic weapons, a South Boston man appealed to the department of justice for assistance in triumphing over the temper and strenght of an amazonian wife. The harassed one, whose name is not divulged, depicts all the vicissitudes of an unusually strenuous married life, including four arrests "on trumped-up charges," conviction of perjury, heart-throbbing pen picture of his period in jail, stories of flying flat irons, a disobedient son who assaults him and a pleasure-loving daughter. The correspondent declares that, although the Boston police have slightly declared him insane, two aliens have examined him and 'swear it isn't so.

Hayes, prominent in the organized labor movement in this country A RUMPUS IS MADE BY CLOCK. Man Tries to Steal It, But Old Timepiece Raises Objection. New York.—An antique clock, worth nothing whatsoever as a timepiece, but having a value of perhaps $50 from an antiquarian's point of view, stood silent on the mantelpiece of the drawing-room on the first floor of No. 7 West Twenty-sixth street. The old clock had stood there many years with its hands always pointing at 2:28 o'clock. It stopped at that hour about 25 years ago, and had declined to go ever since. About 2:15 o'clock in the afternoon Frank Williams, aged 28, found the door of No. 7 West Twenty-sixth street ajar. Prompted by a curiosity, possibly, he walked in and tiptoed into the drawing-room. There was no one there. Williams espied the ancient clock on the mantel. It looked pawnable, and he gently lifted it off the mantelpiece and started out with it. He got as far as the hall when the clock suddenly awoke from its Rip Van Winkle sleep and with a rattle and buzz and bang and clanging of bells screamed for help in its horological way. It was a French clock, and it screamed in the musical accents of France. Williams quickened his pace, but had not more than reached the front door when William Ling, the caretaker of the house, came bounding up the stairs from the basement to see what had broken loose. --- diary he appealed his case to the court of appeals. While that appeal was pending he broke jail at Danville, sawing the bars in two and getting away. The man who escaped with him was captured, but Rousey seemed to have been swallowed up. He was a member of the Railway Trainmen's union and carried a card which would pass him on any railroad in the country. In this way he was enabled to make quick jumps about the country. Walter Fitzgerald was jalfer of Boyle county, and he and Toni Helm, then chief of police, went after Rousey. Months passed and the people had forgotten that such a man as Rousey existed. More than a year after Rousey's escape he was arrested in a small town in southern California. He was brought back and when the court of appeals affirmed his case he was brought to the penitentiary here. During the year that passed after his escape, Helm was on the trail of Rousey and twice was within two hours of him, reaching a town only that length of time after Rousey had gone. The chase was from Illinois to southern Arkansas and back four times and then across Texas and New Mexico into California. During this time Rousey never had positive information that anybody was after him. He received warnings in some mysterious way. He says something told him Tom Helm was after him and would come to the town in which he happened to be at that time. As soon as this feeling came upon him, without questioning it, Rousey would leave. On the day before he was arrested, Rousey said, he was sitting by the railroad track in the yards where he was employed. He said the old feeling which said to him plainly: "Tom Helm is coming here after you," came over him. He said he went at once to the foreman of the yard and asked for his pay and also for a pass to Canada. This was on Thursday. The foreman persuaded Rousey to wait until Saturday and work the week out. The failure to obey the warning caused Rousey to be caught just at the edge of what would have been safety, and he went to the penitentiary, where he has made a good record.

Washington.—The average wages per hour in the industries of the country were 3.7 per cent. higher in 1907 than in 1906, while retail prices of food were 4.2 per cent. higher, according to the July report of the bureau of labor. The regular hours of labor per week were four-tenths of one per cent. lower, and the number of employes increased one per cent. The purchasing power of an hour's wage, as measured by food, was less in 1907 than in 1906, the decrease being one-half of one per cent. The report shows that, as compared with the average for the ten-year period of 1890 to 1899, the average wage per hour in 1907 was 28.8 per cent. higher, the number of employees 44.4 per cent. greater, with a decrease of five per cent. in the average hours of labor per week. The retail price of principal articles of food was 20.6 per cent. higher. Compared with the average for the same ten-year period, the food-purchasing power of an hour's wage in 1907 was 6.8 per cent. greater. ROUND THE CAPITAL Clerks Declare That Uncle Sam Is Stingy Salary of Consuls General and Others Grim Reaper Decreasing Pension Roll Members of Atlantic Fleet to Lose Vote WHAT'S YOUR SALARY? FENDY I'M SHAMED TO TELL WASHINGTON.—Is Uncle Sam pernicious in the allotment of salaries? This question is constantly being asked by clerks and others in the employ of the government. It is recalled that at the last congress the salaries of the cabinet officers were increased from $8,000 to $12,000 per annum. The government clerks contend that their salaries are too small, and that, as the cost of living has advanced, they should be accorded the same consideration given cabinet officials and congressmen. The clerks are not the only ones who are grumbling at the apparent disinclination on the part of the government to increase salaries. Their superiors also are said to be in favor of increases. Many government officials who refrain from giving publicity to their utterances for obvious reasons, contend that the salary paid the GOVERNMENT EXPLAINER CASHIER THE consuls general at London and Paris each receive $12,000 per annum. In former years the consul general at London made as much as $20,000 and $30,000 a year from fees. This practice was abolished, however, and a stated salary designated by the government. The salaries of the consuls general at some of the leading posts are as follows: Canton, China, $5,500; Shanghai, $8,000; Berlin, $8,000; Havana, Cuba, $8,000; Athens, $3,000; Rome, $4,500; Yokohama, Japan, $6,000; Mexico City, Mexico, $6,000; St. Petersburg, $5,500; Cairo, Egypt, $6,000. The chief justice of the United States supreme court receives $13,000 a year, while the associated justices receive $12,500. The United States judges of the circuit and district courts at the following cities receive salaries varying according to the importance and amount of work to be transacted. At New York the judges receive $7,000 per annum; Boston, $6,000; Portland, Me., $6,000; Pittsburg, $6,000. NOT since 1893 has the total United States pensioners been so low as it is at present. This fact is made known in a report by the commissioner of pensions, recently issued, and the report shows that a steady decline has set in, death cutting heavily into the ranks in the last year. The 1908 total is 951,687, and it was said that in all probability this will shrink to 900,000 within another year. Four years ago the high water mark in pensions was reached. For a few days in August, 1904, there were more than 1,000,000 persons on the rolls. These figures, however, do not appear in the official reports, as the official record of 1904 gives an average of only 994,702. There were 998,441 pensioners on the average in 1905, and then started the downward movement, which it is expected will become more TWELVE thousand American citizens on the Atlantic fleet, bound around the world, will have no part in the coming national election. The fleet will be anchored in Manila bay election day, and the Philippine statutes refuse citizenship to soldiers, sailors and marines of the United States. Eighteen hundred votes will be missing from the ballot boxes of New York. The Empire state contributed the largest number of enlisted men to the fleet. Massachusetts and Pennsylvania are tied for second place, with 1,200 cach. New England alone is represented by 1,800 and other eastern states by 5,837. Eighteen hundred southerners are with the fleet. Illinois is represented by 865, Ohio by 750, Michigan 525 and Indiana 465. The newest state, Oklahoma, found president is a disgrace to a country of this size and importance. They aver that foreign nations, of less size, pay their monarchs and rulers a much larger sum than is given Mr. Roosevelt. President Roosevelt's salary per annum is $50,000. It is conceded that this amount alone is expended each year in necessary entertainments. Vice-President Fairbanks receives only $12,000, the same amount paid Speaker Cannon of the house of representatives and the members of the cabinet. This amount, it is said by those in a position to know is spent by the recipients in about two or three months in entertainments, theater parties and sundry functions necessary to maintain their position in social circles. Senators and representatives receive $7,500 a year. Before congress voted them an increase they received only $5,000 per annum. The ambassadors to Austria-Hungary, Brazil, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Russia and Turkey receive $17,500 per annum, while those occupying diplomatic positions in the smaller and less important countries receive a salary in proportion to the significance of the post to which they are assigned. The United States district attorney at New York receives $10,000 a year, while the district attorney at Boston receives $5,000. The salaries of other federal district attorneys are as follows: At Newark, N. J., $3,000; in Vermont, $3,000; in Pennsylvania, $4,500; in Maryland, $4,000; in North Carolina, $4,000; in Florida, $3,500. The United States marshals receive from $2,000 to $5,000 per annum. The marshals in New York receive $5,000; Pennsylvania; $4,000; Maryland; $3,500. The salaries of other important positions are: Public printer; $3,500; secretary of the Smithsonian Institution; $4,000; civil service commissioner; $4,000 each; interstate commerce commissioners; $10,000 each; isthmian canal commissioners; $14,000 each; district commissioners; $5,000 each; director of the international bureau of American republics; $5,000; William Loeb, Jr., receives $6,000 for his services as secretary to the president, while the assistant cabinet officers receive only $4,000 and $4,500 per annum. The sergeant-at-arms of the senate gets $5,000. The first assistant postmaster general receives $5,000 per annum, the second, third and fourth assistants, $4,500 each. The chief inspector of the post office department receives $4,000; the superintendent of division, $4,000; the general superintendent, $4,000. rapid from year to year. In 1906 there were 985,971 pensioners, and last year 967,371 were on the lists. From 1866 to 1904 the army of pensioners increased eightfold. In the former year there were only 126,722 pensioners. In 1870 there were 198,686, in 1880 there were 250,802, in 1890 there were 537,944, and in 1900 there were 993,529. The average was practically at a standstill from 1900 until two years ago, when there was a loss of 13,000. Since 1866 Uncle Sam has paid out in pensions $8,600,000,000. This is almost four times the amount of the interest bearing debt. Within recent years the total pension payments have been about $140,000,000, more than the annual expense bill of the navy, and enough to build a battleship fleet of 15 Dreadnoughts. Only two persons are on the rolls as pensioners of the revolutionary war. They are Sarah C. Hurlbutt, 90 years old, daughter of Elijah Weeks, who served with the Massachusetts troops under Washington, and Phoebe M. Pelmeter, 87 years old, daughter of Jonathan Wooley, who fought with the New Hampshire colonials. 125 recruits. The territories are not unrepresented. There is one from Alaska, two from Arizona and six from New Mexico. The District of Columbia sent 150 men. Three hundred on the fleet are classified as foreign or address not given. As a matter of fact, nearly 100,000 men in the employ of the military branch of the government will not vote—60,000 soldiers and 40,000 sailors and marines. In the navy the only chance that an enlisted man has of voting is to get leave and go home at his own expense. Few do this. Officers here say that it is the custom on all ships to have a ballot box where the men vote, but this is only to satisfy the curiosity of the men themselves. It has no effect on the result. Whether a soldier may vote depends on the laws of the state in which he is stationed. Some of the states allow the men to acquire residence, while others do not. The war department says that it has been the experience of years that the soldiers seldom avail themselves of the privilege even when it is open.

The profit is often 1,000 times as much as the goods cost. To get $40 for what costs 40 cents is quite usual. MY OWN FAMILY USE PE-RU-NA. P. Hon. George W. Honey, National Chaplain U. V. U., ex-Chaplain Fourth Wisconsin Cavalry, ex-Treasurer State of Wisconsin, and ex-Quartermaster General State of Texas G. A. R., writes from 1700 First St., N. E., Washington, D. C., as follows: "I cannot too highly recommend your preparation for the relief of catarhall troubles in their various forms. Some members of my own family have used it with most gratifying results. When other remedies failed, Peruna proved most efficacious and I cheerfully certify to its curative excellence." Mr. Fred L. Hebard, for nine years a leading photographer of Kansas City, Mo., located at the northeast corner of 12th and Grand Aves, cheerfully gives the following testimony: "It is a proven fact that Peruna will cure catarh and la gripe, and as a tonic it has no equal. Demographers have tried to make me take something else 'just as good,' but Peruna is good enough for me." Pe-ru-na in Tablet Form. For two years Dr. Hartman and his assistants have incessantly labored to create Peruna in tablet form, and their strenuous labors have just been crowned with success. People who object to liquid medicines can now secure Peruna tablets, which represent the solid medicinal ingredients of Peruna.

MILLS ARE KEPT BUSY ONLY SHORT MONTH PREVENTS THE BREAKING OF ALL RECORDS. Cripple Creek, Colo.—The total tonnage shipped from the Cripple Creek district during September amounted to 67,313 tons with a bullion value of $1,396,080. These results are considered remarkable for the fact that while the tonnags shows a decrease of 1,573 tons under that for August the bullion value shows an increase of $65,316. This change is largely due to the fact that the smelters treated a much larger tonnage of an average value of $61 a ton. This shows that the higher grade ore still exists in abundance at depth. In particular the Portland mine has cut several veins of ore at a depth of 1,500 feet, all of which will ship at better than three ounces, one carrying an average value of five ounces. The fact that September only allowed twenty-nine days' production on account of Labor Day indicates that with a full month all records for tonnage would have been broken. All of the local mills with only two exceptions have been operating at full capacity. The ore treated in the district aggregated 11,500 tons of a fair grade. Now that the Portland company has erected an experimental plant on its Battle mountain property, it is only a question of time before a 500-ton mill will be constructed to treat the immense dumps containing over 1,000,000 tons and also the low-grade ore produced from the mine. Pushing For Colorado Centennial, Wyo.—The Laramie, Hahn's Peak & Pacific railway is now pushing rapidly toward the Colorado line. Steel will have been laid to the boundary before the end of the year. The extension will terminate at Walden, the metropolis of the North Park country. Already the North Parkers have cut a county road from Walden to the Wyoming line, and will begin utilizing the railway as soon as it enters Colorado. Steel is being laid on a ten-mile section of completed grade south of this place and grading is in progress on another twelve-mile section. This latter section will carry the line to the Colorado boundary. Farm Brings Large Price. Greeley, Colo.—The biggest price ever paid for an eighty-avre farm in this district was $21,000, paid Tuesday by J. W. Sanford of Iowa Falls, Iowa to the Arbuckle-Purcell Land Company for W. H. Henderson's farm in Pleasant valley, three miles east of Greeley. Not only does Henderson receive $262 an acre, but he is allowed all this year's crops from the place, which he estimates will net him $4,000. Last year Henderson paid $20,000 for the farm, which was then a record price for farm land here. Money Raised For Canal. Grand Junction, Colo.—The $100,000 which must be raised by Grand Valley people before the government will give an additional $100,000 to start work on the new high line canal has been subscribed and a committee will probably leave soon for Washington to consult with the reclamation service. This is the system which is to bring 50,000 to 75,000 acres of rich Grand Junction land under irrigation, and it is believed actual work will be commenced early next year. Beet Harvet Begins. Denver.—A Greeley dispatch Sunday night says: Tomorrow morning 100 farmers will begin to dig beets in the Windsor district and 175 farmers in Eaton and Greeley will receive orders to begin harvesting their crop Tuesday. The Windsor factory will begin to slice beets Wednesday and the Greeley and Eaton factories about the last of this week. Each factory starts at full capacity. Securing a box of tablets which her mother was using as a heart stimulant, Eleanor Gertrude Wold, thirteen months old, daughter of James Wold, living near Estes Park, ate one of the tablets and died five minutes afterward.

COLORADO NEWS Senator Albert J. Beveridge of Illinois is expected to speak in Denver October-13th. The Master Builders' Association of Denver has endorsed the proposed erection of a fourteen story skyscraper. They hold that it would benefit the city. The gross earnings of the Denver City Tramway system for the year ending August 31, 1908, are reported at $3,061,902.64, an increase over the previous year of $221,653.90. John Susick, aged nineteen, was instantly killed in the mine of the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company at Berwind Tuesday morning by being caught in a cave-in of rock and dirt. Gov. J. Frank Hanly of Indiana will be in Colorado October 8th, 9th and 10th and will deliver addresses under the auspices of the Anti-Saloon league. He will speak in Denver October 10th. Seventy-five thousand trout fry from the state hatchery at Glenwood Springs have been received by Sam W. Vidler, deputy game warden at Cripple Creek, and placed in Four Mile and Oil creeks. The Eastern Colorado Poultry Association has been formed at Fort Morgan. Sterling, Akron, Yuma and Wray will be invited to join the association, which plans a poultry show in December. The statement of the associated banks of Boulder, just published, shows aggregate deposits of $1,854,157.58, and for the first time in eighteen months, an increase in deposits over that of the preceding statement. Dr. Clough T. Burnett, a graduate of Michigan University, has been appointed professor in bacteriology at the University of Colorado, succeeding to the chair held last year by Dr. Dessie Robertson, now Mrs. Frank L. Barrows. The engineers of the Denver City Tramway Company are preparing plans for extending its present car line system to Valverde, Overland park and Fort Logan, districts. These lines were provided for in franchise voted by the taxpayers of the city in 1906. At a meeting in Grand Junction between the representatives of the Woodland Construction Company of Chicago and the Orchard-Mesa Irrigation district of Grand Junction, a contract was signed by which the construction company undertakes to install a complete irrigation system on the Orchard-Mesa within twelve months. The consideration involved is $800,000. Attracted by a noise on a window of her house at Fort Collins Mrs. Nettie Robeson hastened out to learn the cause and found a large crane perched on the narrow sash. With the assistance of others she captured the bird and sent it to the Agricultural college museum. The bird measures seventy inches from tip to tip, is known as a "thunder pumper," and is one of the rarest of its species. The temporary writ issued by the District Court at Cripple Creek several weeks ago prohibiting County Judge T. H. Thomas from proceeding further in the contempt case against the mayor, city council and city attorney of Goldfield, was made permanent Monday by District Judge James Owen. The alleged contempt was in paying a warrant to Dr. Hayes in disregard of an order of the county judge. In its movement to preserve specimens of the American bison for the benefit of future generations the American Bison Society has sent a request to the Denver Chamber of Commerce that $250 be raised in this state. That sum is the amount which has been proportioned to Colorado out of the $10,000 which must be collected to fulfill the plans. Already the government has through Congress contributed a range for the animals in Montana which is worth $40,000. The cornerstone of the new $25,000 Masonic temple at Sterling was laid Tuesday by the officers of the grand lodge of Colorado. The grand officers present were John F. Gaddy, most worshipful grand master of Del Norte; Charles B. Jacobson, grand secretary, and Melville B. Edwards, grand lecturer of Denver. They were accompanied by prominent Masons from Denver and other towns in the state. Work on the temple is progressing and it will be completed about Jan. 1st. Claiming that he and Mrs. Clara Allward (white) of Hardin, adjudged insane and now in the state asylum, were married in Denver twenty-four years ago, C. Brown, a negro, who has worked on the Allward ranch near Greeley for years, asserts his right to care for the property of Mrs. Allward, which is worth $5,000. Brown who was once a policeman in Denver, says he and Mrs. Allward were married by Rev. Murphy, a colored minister of Denver, and that only colored people witnessed the secret marriage. He says he did not attend his alleged wife's trial for fear of making trouble, and that none of his neighbors suspected he and Mrs. Allward were married. The Navy Department is attempting to secure custody of J. R. Roland, a recruit who robbed a companion and deserted in Pueblo. The Pueblo civil authorities, instead of turning the man over to the navy, prosecuted him for the theft and he is now in the State Reformatory at Buena Vista. The state authorities refuse to give him up. A peach seed planted by Mrs. Nancy Oney in her dooryard at Greeley seven years ago, when she was 79, has produced a tree from which she picked 11 ripe peaches on her 86th birthday, a few days since.

Democratic party by keeping it in his hand of backward statesmanship, a part of un-American ideals. It has made and has the capacity and disposition cannot get away from the truth thus THE national campaign seems to have suddenly developed into a lubricating contest which is far more demoralizing than illuminating. It is said that oil poured upon the water will smooth a tempestuous sea, but this saying evidently was not intended to apply to the political sea. It may be that the kind of oilused has much to do with the success of the process, but it has now been clearly demonstrated that Standard oil can raise a bigger political tempest than any wind that ever blew. Standard Oil is the great corporate trust company, which controls the oil output and many other things in the United States and elsewhere, and which has come to be looked upon as a grinding monopoly and legalized hardship upon the people. The government and many independent political reformers have long been training their guns on Standard Oil, until public sentiment is thoroughly aroused against it. And now the candidates and the big men of both parties are engaged in pointing out other big men of both parties who are the alleged agents of the Standard Oil Company or other big corporate trusts like it. Rightfully or wrongfully, Senator Foraker and Senator Du Pont, Republirans, ex-Senator McLauren, Democrat, Govenor Haskell of Oklahoma, who was treasurer of the Democratic national committee and several other men of prominence in both parties have been placed upon the griddle by charges made public against them, and even the candidates themselves, by inference, though not directly, have been advised to have some of their old clothes sent to the cleaner. Sensation has followed sensation in the inflammable conflict, and as a result, the campaign is said to be a hot one. But at the best, we don't like this lubricating method of campaigning. Everything is charged and nothing proved. Let us not chase these fire alarms so fast that we forget the real issues. It cannot be denied that the present Republican administration has made it warm for Standard Oil and other trusts. Let us make it just as warm for the Democratic party by keeping it in hot water on its record. It is a party of backward statesmanship, a party of oppression, of prejudice and of un-American ideals. It has made the dark spots in American history and has the capacity and disposition to make more. Oil or no oil, it cannot get away from the truth thus illuminated. HAIL TO THE NEGRO DOLL Baptists of the United States have by resolution adopted at their r support it, calling upon the Colored it, to encourage it with their patro mercetofore black dolls with repugn the market by white manufacturers THE Negro Baptists of the United States have established a Negro doll factory, and by resolution adopted at their national convention have agreed to support it, calling upon the Colored people of the country in that respect, to encourage it with their patronage. The resolutions recite that heretofore black dolls with repugnant features have been put upon the market by white manufacturers and that they have served to ridicule the race, etc. While many people, and many Negroes at that, are prone to laugh over the peculiarities of this unusual departure on the part of a great church organization, there is really a great deal of wisdom and a great deal of necessity back of it. Nobody can estimate the amount of self respect and absolute race devotion that have been cut out of the Negro's character by the sacrifice of racial ideals through an inadvertant pandering of color prejudice and the inculcation of a senseless shame in the minds of his children for his natural characteristics. Our close contact with the white race and its superior attainments and the concession and absorption of the white man's assumption that God favored him and cursed the Negro with different and unequal complexions, have served to breed in us a false shame and a low and mean estimate of our natural conditions as compared with those of other people. No greater curse could befall a people than for them to breed a shame for their natural selves. No greater blessing can come to them than that which comes by the creation and development of an ineffaceable pride, faith and glory in the nature with which God clothed them. No other people but the American Negroes have suffered this shameful loss of racial pride, and their discomfiture and shame is the result of slavery. They can redeem themselves only through their children, slowly eradicating the evil of self depreciation and instilling appreciation, pride and love for their own. The doll is the thing to begin with. The Indian, the Esquimaux, the Chinaman, the Mongol, the Turk, the Tejii, the Malay, the Patagonian and the Caucasian, each and every race breed under the sun, has his own doll, and so should the Negro have his. He can't do without it. But immediately we shall hear that many Negro women will not want their children to have black dolls. Let the church wrestle with the problem as Jaeob wrestled with the angel in the darkness, and may it not let the black doll go until it shall have blessed the race. WILL BE PALATIAL NEW SENATE OFFICE BUILDING NEARING COMPLETION. Two Rooms and a Bath for Each Statesman—Tunnel and Electric Cars to Carry Member to Chamber. That palatial establishment for the comfort of senators, the new Senate office building, it is now announced will be ready for occupancy by the time congress meets next December. It is now about 80 per cent, completed and the purpose is to rush it to completion in the next few months. When finished the new Senate office building will have cost $4,500,000, inclusive of the site. This provides office rooms for 92 members of the senate and their attaches. It is rather more than the cost of the House office building, which was occupied early in the last session of congress. There is no doubt that a genuine need for an office building of some sort, both for the senate and the house members, has existed. In the capitol there are not enough committee rooms to go around. Some of the senators have little, dingy rooms down in the terrace and many ars obliged to have their offices in the old Melby building, known as the Senate Annex, a short distance northwest of the capitol. The senator who is able to get an office room inside the capitol building, even if it is dismal and cramped, considers himself fortunate. When the Senate office building is completed it will connect with the capitol by a subway, as is the House office building, and in the subway will be a sidewalk and an electric car line. One will be able to descend an elevator in the capitol, get into an electric car and get out at the foot of an elevator in the office building. The subway itself is already finished. Each senator will be entitled to a suite, consisting of two handsome rooms and a private bath. The building will have 99 such office suites in the three principal stories above the basement, ten single offices and six committee rooms, besides a conference room and a dining-room. The larger room of each office suite is intended for the use of the senator himself, and will be 16 by 25 feet. The smaller room, 12 by 25 feet, is for the senator's secretary. One of the convenient features of the building will be the conference room, back of the main stairs on the second floor. It will be 52 by 74 feet, will seat 300 people easily, and is intended for public hearings. Not the least interesting room of the office building will be the dining-room, 30x65, on the second floor, overlooking the capitol grounds and the Library of congress. Here the senators hope to be able to partake of their mush and milk and senate pie in something more of peace and solitude than they have been able to find in the senate refectory at the north end of the capitol. One of the banalities of senate membership is that, whereas the average senator would like to hire himself away to some secluded spot for lunch, where his ears will not be beset with the troubles of pension-hunting and office-seeking constituents, it is impossible to exclude the proletariat entirely from the senate restaurant as it now exists. It often happens, even, that a senator has to wait for service while a waiter is serving a meal to some mere private citizen. Senators hope that under the new regime they will be enabled to be more thoroughly in retreat when they want to partake of something to eat. In design the Senate office building resembles the House office building, the two being fashioned to harmonize with the exterior of the capitol. The house members are allowed but one room each. A number of the committee rooms will be rearranged when the office building is completed, some of them being in the new structure. While in some respects the new building is expected to prove a great convenience, yet it will have its drawbacks. This has been shown in the experience on the house side. Many members find their rooms in the office building so convenient that they absent themselves more freely than before from the house chamber. So it is expected to prove on the senate side, especially when Superintendent Elliott Woods gets installed in each office the ticker apparatus that will enable the occupant to see at a glance just what is going on in the body to which he belongs. The new office building will, moreover, greatly increase the difficulties of finding members. This was the experience with the House office building last winter. The next great building that will be erected by the government near the capitol will doubtless be a commodious home for the United States supreme court. The present quarters in the capitol are inadequate and unsatisfactory. Even the accommodations for attorneys who are forced to attend the supreme court sessions and who are anxious to hear arguments and opinions are insufficient. On Mondays, when opinions are handed down, a large number of visitors, as a rule, are turned away from the doors because there is no more room for them. Makes Demand for New Vaults. The bureau of engraving and printing at Washington is turning out new emergency notes under the Aldrich-Vreeland law at the rate of about $3,500,000 a day, and new vaults must be built to store them in. LAWLESSNESS IN WASHINGTON. Caustic Comments of a Neighbor on Conditions in the Capital. Washington, in its public structures and private residences, its hotels and business buildings, its parks and boulevards, is becoming not only the most beautiful city in America, but one of the finest of the world's capitals, says the Baltimore Sun. All Americans are proud of its growth and its magnificence. Therefore it comes to them as a shock when they learn that women are not safe on its broad avenues and that purse snatching and robbery are the most common of crimes. During the last two years the records show an almost unbelievable number of attacks upon women. These range from assaults and attempted murders in the suburbs to brutal attacks and robberies in the very heart of the most fashionable residence section. Most of these offenses are committed by negroes and they seem to think that they have a license to commit any crime. The daughter of an army officer was attacked and robbed by negroes almost at the door of the British embassy. Judging from the number of crimes of which they are the victims, in no city in America are women so poorly protected as they are in the nation's capital. What paralyzes the arm of the law? Why is it that negro hoodlums are allowed to run riot, terrorize certain sections and even attack the police? Why is it unsafe for women to go out on the streets or roads after dark in the District of Columbia? Is it because the arm of the law is weakened by an inefficient police force and sometimes by absurdly inadequate punishment when criminals are arraigned in the courts? Most of the crimes are committed by negroes, according to the accounts, and the criminal negro element acts as if it could defy the police and as if it need have little fear of severe punishment. The attack of a large crowd of negroes on Policeman W. J. Field when he went to arrest a negress is only one of a number of such attacks. If the laws were rigidly enforced and disorder suppressed with a firm hand such contempt of the police would be impossible. The district commissioners and the police could undoubtedly prevent Washington from becoming the unhappy hunting ground of thugs and thieves if they acted with sufficient firmness and energy. What is the matter with the representatives of the district government? If they cannot meet the conditions by which they are confronted and keep in check the lawless elements which are disgracing the capital of the country men should be put in their places who can. Ban on "Hurry-Up" Wagons. Eight miles an hour is the limit in Washington for fire engines, patrol wagons and ambulances. No matter what the emergency—fire, riot or street car crash—the "hurry" wagons of the city will hurry no more. Corporation Counsel Thomas has decided that they are subject to the laws governing the speed of all other vehicles. Recently several persons have been hurt by the galloping horses of patrol wagons. Citizens complained to the commissioners who suggested to Major Sylvester, chief of police, that more care be exercised. The major replied that a patrol wagon, fire engine or ambulance is not called unless it is needed badly and that when it is needed it ought to get to its destination in the quickest possible time. Besides, he did not believe that the law makers had city vehicles in mind when they made the speed laws. But the corporation counsel overruled him. It is understood that the Anti-Noise society, encouraged by this ruling, will ask that the clanging gongs be removed from the wagons and engines on the grounds that they disturb the peace of the citizens and that they are not needed on slow moving vehicles. School for Diplomats J. Pierpont Morgan, John Hays Hammond and others have contributed more than $50,000 of the fund of $125,000 which Dr. Richard D. Harlan of George Washington university is raising to broaden the work of political sciences in that institution. The college, which recently was formed for training young men for the diplomatic, consular and public service, has been largely attended. Great interest has been manifested throughout the country in the betterment of the foreign service. The university hopes to place the new school thoroughly before the people, indicating its importance to the nation and the opportunities it offers to young men to fit themselves for the service of the government. Home-Made Barometer. Those who love experimentation may try the following method of making a cheap barometer, practiced in France, suggests the Youth's Companion: Take eight grams of pulverized camphor, four grams of pulverized nitrate of potassium, two grams of pulverized nitrate of ammonia, and dissolve in 60 grams of alcohol. Put the whole in a long, slender bottle closed at the top with a piece of bladder containing a pin-hole to admit the air. When rain is coming, the solid particles will tend gradually to mount, little star crystals forming in the liquid, which otherwise remains clear; if high winds are approaching, the liquid will become thick, as if fermenting, while a film of solid particles forms on the surface, during fair weather the liquid will remain clear and the solid particles will rest at the bottom. Tramp Pest Increasing Army of Vagabonds a Menace By ORLANDO F. LEWIS. HE United States is beginning to look for instruction to the experiences of European countries, where for 25 years vagrancy has been one of the most serious social problems. Germany is particularly a country that has studied the subject, and has erected many forms of institutions, some for tramps out of jail, and some labor colonies to keep tramps at work who have been committed by the courts. These labor colonies are of two kinds, voluntary and compulsory. The difference is that the voluntary colonies are managed largely by private charity and are retreats where the "down-and-outer" can enter for a time, averaging about two months. In return for his work he receives good care, good food and a chance to earn a little something. There are about 33 voluntary colonies, but a quarter century of experience does not show that the United States could reduce vagrancy or reform vagrants to any great extent by introducing such colonies. But the compulsory colonies are having some effect. There are 24 of them. The sentences are long, and the average time of detention is about a year. The men must really work. There is no snap "snow shoveling in July," nor being one of 40 to haul a little dump cart around a yard. Various industries are carried on. The men learn what it means to work. Compare these labor colonies with our county jails, which have been classified by experienced investigators as only too often "schools of crime." In the United States, short sentences are spent in idleness, and in demoralizing other inmates. Bad sanitation, poor food, uncleanly and vicious habits have no reformatory effect, and tend to the development of anti-social tendencies. Vagrancy is undoubtedly increasing in the United States, because to be a tramp is so easy. The condition will not be improved until good, hard work looms ahead for the man who "hits the road." But this work must not be solely a punishment for idleness. It must train, if not to a joy in work, at least to a knowledge of how to work and why men must work. The jails cannot be recast for this function. Tramp colonies seem necessary. Lord blow through the garden of the soul not a leaf can stir. He that implants the holy disposition is the Lord. The combined exertions of all these instruments could not implant one single feature of the holy mind, any more than all the carpenter's tools together could draw the molding of one panel. The artist paints upon the canvas; but with all his exertions his palette, brush and paint-box could never draw a single figure. The scupltor molds the image; but of themselves his chisel, mallet, and stool can not detach a single chip from the rough marble. To engrave the features of holiness in the sinner is a work in the highest sense artistic, unspeakably divine. And the artist who executes it is the Lord; as St. Paul calls him, the Artist and Architect of the City which has foundations. The fact that the Lord is pleased to use instruments for some parts of the work does not impart to them any value, much less any ability to accomplish anything of themselves without the Artist. He is the only Worker. The mobility of dress exercises a great influence. It is sufficient in this connection to note our European garments, in which we are, as it were, imprisoned, and the mobility of the old Russian pallium and of the present garments of India. The light mobility of our clothes adapts us better for the various tasks of our laborious and combative existence, but its concealment of expression and frequent disfigurement of the anatomical beauty of our bodies is the deep despair of modern art. As for the muscles of the face, body, and limbs, so also for dress there is a centrifugal and centripetal expression, an executive and a concentive. In dress, as in the limbs, when the concentive renders its highest degree every specific character tends to disappear. The greatest analogy between the movements of the body and those of the clothes is found during accesses of pain and anger and hate. Every emotion, every passion, every intellectual labor may find some expression in the clothing, and this may vary in its turn according to the differing degrees of emotion, passion, and thought, just as these contribute to modify physical expression, sex, age, character, state of health, and all those other elements which we are accustomed to include under the name of environment. Character, which is a large and various synthesis, can express itself partly in the way in which we move our garments, and the most ordinary observer can read in this connection the appearance of the miser and the prodigal, the candid man and the hypocrite, the neat man and the disorderly.

A cavalryman on the battlefield is fully aware how much he depends upon the good services of his horse, and also that the animal can not run unless God enabled it. Being a godly man, he prays before mounting that the Lord will enable his horse to bring him victory; but after he is mounted, with spur and knee, rein and voice, he uses all his strength to make the horse do what it should do. And the same is true of sanctification. Unless the breath of the n of the soul not a leaf can stir. poly disposition is the Lord.

BURTON Dress certainly is one of the human elements by which races, nations and individuals express themselves, and certainly the acute Rafener did not exaggerate when he wrote: "The clothes make the man," an idea for the rest which we find expressed in the proverbs of many and various nations. It is not, however, of methods of clothing nor of the various materials with which man covers himself, but of the part which dress takes in expression when the movements of our muscles are diffused in the peripheral territory of that which covers us exercises a great influence.

Riches and Arrogance Nothing is more hateful to a poor man than the purse-proud arrogance of the rich—but let the poor man become rich and he runs at once into the vice against which he so feelingly declaimed. There are strange contractions in human character.—Richard Cumberland. Must Know the German Language. A noted firm of fire-extinguisher manufacturers in London, doing extensive business in Germany, have decided that all their clerks, from the office-boy upwards, must acquire a knowledge of German. Tuition is given in that language during business hours. Half the staff collect in a room apart for an hour's instruction, at the end of which they resume their ordinary duties, and the rest take their turn in "going to school." Knelt at Beauty's Shrine. The valentines of days of yore show the man always in the role of a suppliant. He was at all times, either figuratively or literally, on his knees. His lady love was a queen, a goddess, a being so far above him that the most he could hope was that she might be touched by his devotion, take pity on the tumult of his affections, and design to cast him a look of encouragement. Thackeray's Poets. Thackeray's favorite poets were Goldsmith and the "sweet lyric singers." Prior, whom he thought the easiest, the richest, the most charmingly humorous of English lyrical poets, and Gay, the force of whose simple melody and artless ringing laughter he appreciated. He admired Pope, too; but while admitting Milton's greatness, thought him "such a bore that no one could read him." It is not surprising, therefore, that Thackeray never essayed the "big bow-wow kind" of poetry.—Fortnightly Review. A Stunning Surprise. Congressman George W. Taylor was talking in Demopolis, Ala., about the hard times. "Hard times are bound to be full of unpleasant shocks and stunning surprises," he said. "I remember the last panic and a sermon that a Mobile pastor preached. "The pastor, in a powerful discourse urged economy and retrenchment on his congregation. In view of the hard times there should be no extravagance, no useless expenditure, he said, but every outgo ought to be pared down. "His strong sermon had a swift and unexpected effect. The congregation, before dispersing, held a church meeting and unanimously reduced the man's salary from $2,000 to $1,500." Women's Settlements. Many women are living in settlements in different parts of London, working on quietly and steadily day by day, seeking no glory or notoriously for their work, finding their happiness in humble service, ready to help where their help is needed.—Nineteenth Century.

Representative Kuisely, in the Indiana Legislature, having charged Governor Hanly with making him an offer of a $2,000 position if he would support the county local option bill, the governor immediately read a message to the Legislature demanding that a committee be appointed to investigate the charge. The committee appointed by the lower house of the Indiana legislature, which has been investigating charges made against Governor Hanly by Representative Kuisely, that the governor had tried to influence his vote in favor of the county option bill by offering him a position, reported to the house, completely exonerating the governor. William Randolph Hearst and Thomas L. Hisgen, candidate for President on the Independence party ticket, drew an immense audience at the Denver auditorium on the 30th ult., but there was little in the demonstration to indicate sympathy with the new party.

The Supreme Court of Wisconsin has declared as unconstitutional the Wisconsin eight-hour railroad telegraphers' law which was enacted in 1907. The law is declared unconstitutional on the theory that it is in conflict with the provisions of the federal constitution, which clothes congress with the power to regulate interstate commerce, and further on the theory that congress, having already provided a law fixing the hours of railway telegraphers, it was not within the power of the state to enact a law which would in affect change these hours of labor.

The Colonel had remonstrated vigor- ously with Unele Eph about the old jarkey’s persistent excursions Into the state of inebriation. Uncle Eph, though he promised faithfully to refrain from frequent dips. into the flowing bowl, failed to live up to the Colonel's expectations. Ou numerous occasions the Colonel saw Eph under the influence of Iquor, put the darkey, when taken to task, stoutly denied the accusation, affirm: ing emphatically that he did not drink. One evening the Colonel met Uncle Eph in @ condition which made {t plainly evident that the darkey was caught with the goods on.” “Eph,” began the Colonel, seriously, [ thought you told me that you had given up drink?” Ah sho’ did, Massa Kern’; ah sho’ aid,” replied Eph. “But lately ah took up drinkin’ an’ gib up lyin.’ "—Harpers’ Weekly.

Economy. “T have just read a story of an ete, nomical farmer that Mr. Rockefeller, ir, had been telling to his Sunday school class,” said Higgins. “He says there is @ farmer out near Cleveland who makes a fad of economy. Every time he drives into town he carries a hen with him tied to the seat of his buggy. A friend who rode out with him one day was curious to learn the use of that hen, so he watched care- fully, and found out. When at noon the farmer luncked under a tree, he gave his mare a feed from a nosebag, and th hen, placed on the ground, ate all that the horse spilled from the bag, so that there was no waste at all.” “Good story,” sald Wiggins, “and true, too, I know that old farmer, Mr. Rockefeller didn’t say where he got his lunch, did he?” “No,” said Higgins, “the story stop: there.” “It was the egg the hen laid under the buggy seat on the way out,” said Wiggins—Harper’s Weekly.

Accor- ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is the only remedy of known value, but one of many reasons why it is the best of personal and family laxatives is the fact that it cleanses, sweetens and relieves the internal organs on which it acts without any debilitating after effects and without having to increase the quantity from time to time. It acts pleasantly and naturally and truly as a laxative, and its component parts are known to and approved by physicians, as it is free from all objection- able substances.

PRESCRIBED CUTICURA After Other Treatment Falled—Raw Eczema on Baby's Face Had Lasted Three Months—At Last Doctor Found Cure, “Our baby boy broke out with ec zema on his face when one month old. One place on the side of his face the size of a nickel was raw like beefsteak for three months, and he would cry out when I bathed the parts that were sore and broken out. I gave him three months’ treatment from a good doctor, but at the end of that time the child was no better. Then my doctor recommended Cuticura. After using a cake of Cuticura Soap, a third of a box of Cuticura Ointment, and half a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent he was well and his face was as smooth as any baby’s.

A little boy of five years, playing with Lis sister one day, leaned too far out of the second-story window, lost his balance and fell into the yard below. Very miraculously he escaped being injured, and his parents and friends were so delighted that they gave him quite a number of pennies, nickels and dimes.

The~following officers were elected: President, George M. Reynolds, presi- dent Continental National bank, Chi- cago; vice president, Lewis EB. Pier- son, president Irving National Ex- change bank, New York. Fred G. Moffat of the First National bank of Denver was elected a member of the executive council and E. S. Irish of the Denver National bank, as vice president from Colorado. ‘The report of the committee on leg- islation opposed both the bank deposit guarantee idea and the postal savings banks, The committee introduced a resolution condemning the former proposition as a danger, both to the banks and to the public, wholly for- eign to constitutional government and declaring it to be paternalism run riot. Delegate C. R. Breckenridge of Arkan- sas strongly urged that the resolution be amended to include postal savings banks also- After some confusion, mostly due io a misunderstanding of parliamentary law by some of the members, the report and resolution was adopted. Mr. Breckenridge then introduced a separate resolution, as follows: “That the American Bankers’ Asso- ciation condemns as unwise and hurt ful to business all propositions to es- tablish postal savings banks in this country.” This resolution was adopted. ‘The report of the committee on federal legislation follows: “Your committee since its appoint- ment has followed with much interest the movement which has been on for the establishment of postal savings banks, and has opposed the enactment of such legislation. No bill has been presented which would reatly prove beneficial to the country. On the contrary, all have been burdened with measures sure to prove detrimental, “not enly to the banks, but the individ: ual depositors as well, by impairing the ability of the banks to adequately provide and care for the very desirable feature and advantage of active bank ing accounts, curtailing the use of in- dividual credit, and giving the dishon- est a cloak by making such funds in- mine from all process of law, and par- ticularly inviting the several with: drawals of large sums from commer. cial channels by making such deposits not subject to taxation, and such banks are proving a serious menace to the financial credit of the countries in which they are in use. “Your committee is opposed to the guaranteeing of deposits by either state or federal governments, or the assuming of a trusteeship by either of a guarantee fund, believing that it would be a function wholly outside of any purpose for whieh state or federal governments were organized, and for the further fact that the assuming of a trusteeship would be misleading to the general public, as it is not a guar- antee by either state or federal gov- ernment; and that such a law would work to the detriment, not only of the banks, but to the depositing public as well. “In view of the prominence given to this question at the present time, we deem it important that the American Bankers’ Association place itself on record. We, therefore, recommend the adoption of the following resolu: tion: “Resolved, That the American Bankers’ Association is _unalterably opposed to any arbitrary plan looking to the mutual guaranty of deposits either by state or the nation for the following reasons: “*(1) Tt is a function outside of state or national government. “(2) It is unsound in principle. “*(3) It is impractical and mislead- Ing. (4) It 48 revolutionary in charac. ter. “*(5) It is subversive to sound eco- nomics. “*(6) It will lower the standard of our present banking system, “*(7) It is productive of and encour- ages bad banking.

(12) It will cause and not avert panies.” ‘The currency commission, in its re- port, said: “Credit currency, commended in your commission's first report, and approved by this association at its last convention, had further proof of its soundness in principle and efficiency, during the world-wide crisis of last fall.

AL IRRIGATION CONGRESS AT ALBUQUERQUE, PRESIDENT GOUDY SPEAKS FOR THE PEOPLE OF THE SAN LUIS VALLEY. Pee PAUCT Que, Aya me Sane? wee S. renewal at Thursday, afternoon's ses- sion of the National Irrigation Con gress of the discussion of the forestry service, when Will C. Barnes, an in- spector of grazing or the national for: ests, replied to the attack made on him by D. C, Beaman of Colorado the day before. Mr, Beaman violently attacked Barnes for writing magazine articles jaudatory of the chief forester while on the government payroll. Mr. Barnes, who has been a prominent cattle grower in New Mexico and Ari- sona for many years, undertook his own defense and the defense of the forestry service, vigorously asserting his right to give his views through the medium of public speaking or maga zine writing. President Goudy in a brief sveech took up the defense of the rights of the people of the San Luis valley in Colorado against an attack made Wed nesday by W. W. Follett, consulting engineer of the national boundary com: mission, who asserted that-the Colo- rado people had no right of usage of the waters of the upper Rio Grande. He bitterly resented what he termed the “slopping over” of Engineer Fol- lett, who intimated that the Colorado water users were trying to rob the people of Texas and New Mexico and Old Mexico of the waters of the river Mr. Goudy declared that the south ern water users were demanding mil- lions of acre feet more water than they needed, and said that while they wanted water to irrigate millions of acres of new land, the people of the San Luis valley merely want enough water for the completion of the irri gation system which they have built entirely with their own money, with- out government aid. This he con- trasted with the attitude of the south> ern water users, for whom the gov- ernment is to build a great dam, and who nevertheless want to appropriate not only what water they need, but a -greatedenl more, He showed clearly that the water used in Colorado will not affect the Elephant Butte project “The capacity of ali our reservoirs in the San Luis valley,” said Mr. Goudy, “will not be over 300,000 acre feet. We simply wish to complete the ‘reclamation of long farmed lands. We are not asking to reclaim new lands. There is absolutely no ground for any contest between the people of Colo- rado and those of Texas, and those Texans who are seeing visions of a civil war between the two states have no basis for their fears. We resent the charge that we are thieves and rob: bers.” Mr, Goudy paid a tribute to the keen intelleet and sterling motives of Judge Beaman of Colorado, whose speech as- sailing the forest service created such a commotion Wednesday. He more- over, paid a high tribute to Chief For- ester Pinchot, and said he believed the forest. service had already so pro- tected the Lead waters of the Rio Grande as to make all fears of a short- age of water at the Elephant Butte dam forever unfounded. Will C. Barnes, inspector of grazing in the forest service, who was includ- ed In Beaman’s attack, defended him- self and took a shot at Judge Bea- man, when he declared all such at tacks on the service were inspired by corporate greed or personal selfish in- terests, Mr, Barnes warmly defended Mr. Pinchot and the administration of the forests, and took up in detail and refuted specific instances of injustice presented by J. A. Eddy of Colorado. Colorado has occupied the prominent place in the sessions of the congress. Dwight B, Heard, of the Arizona Cat- tle Growers’ Association, defended the forestry policy in behalf of that asso- ciation, asserting that the cattle grow- ers of Arizona were satisfied with the condition of the Arizona forests, William W. Wheeler, assistant sec- retary of the Department of Commerce and Labor, delivered a short address as the personal representative of President Roosevelt. The resolutions committee today voted down a resolution favoring the removal of restrictions from foreign immigration proposed by C. B. Schmidt of Chicago and adopted a plank snp- porting protection of American sugar. Silver Purchases Resumed. Washincton —Director of the Mint Washington.—Director of the Mint Leach announced Wednesday that he would this week resume the purchase of fine silver for subsidiary coinage. He states that he expects to purchase about 125,000 ounces each week for an indefinite period. Director Leach said he was confident the purchases would be made as long as there was an ac- tive demand for the coin. The mint now has on hand only about 5,000,000 ounces of fine silver and this supply would’ soon be exhausted at the pres- ent rate of demand. = p00NORTH g TECE ap A?

The Colorado Statesman 1924 CURTIS STREET ROOM 25. --- For the Afternoon FLEUR DE LIS The popularity of the short-waisted dress is firmly established, and as the season advances we shall see it more and more; it is produced in many forms; two of the prettiest we illustrate here; these are quite simple, and are suitable for any soft material, such as Shantung, cashmere, fine cloth, or some such texture. The first is in mole-colored cashmere. The skirt is quite plain, the front breadth being continued in a plastron in front of bodice, at the side of which are two deep folds; the plastron is cut open at the neck to show a chemisette of spotted silk, the edge of opening being outlined with a fold of turquoise-blue velvet, the lower part laced across with fine cords, finished with tassels. Two folds of the cashmere form over-sleeves; the long, slightly puckered sleeves are of the spotted white silk. The bodice is joined to the skirt, the joining being covered by a sash of silk, with tasseled ends. Materials required: Eight yards 46 inches wide, $2\frac{1}{2}$ yards silk 22 inches wide. The second is in mauve Shantung. The underskirt, being almost covered, is of sateen, with Shantung only on the lower part of front. The over-skirt is edged with galloon. The short-waisted bodice has a vest of lace opening in a V at the neck, which is filled in with tucked net; this is outlined with narrow silk trimming, with two tassels at the point. The Shantung is tucked on the shoulders, and is edged with galloon, the armholes also being outlined with same. The bodice and skirt are joined under a sash, which is fastened at left side under a rosette. Materials required: 11 yards 34 inches wide, ten yards galloon, seven yards sateen, five-eighths yard lace, 18 inches wide, half yard tucked net. Brilliant and Beautiful Tones Are to Be in Vogue. The new pistache shade indicates the tone of the shell, a dull, soft willow green with a faint yellowish cast in the lighter tones, while the darker ones are more on the order of sage and moss green, all uncommonly subdued, yet expressive. Flowers have had their beautiful hues imitated in the new colors. There is, for instance, the nasturtium in its gorgeous tints of rich, golden apricot and warm brownish copper, all of which are shown in Henne, one of the most beautiful shades of the season. They are exceptionally deep and ex pressive, and are sometimes called giroffee, as they resemble the colors of the wallflower. The beautiful hue of the lapis lazuli is signified by the dark and medium tones of sirene—a warm, opaque blue with just the very faintest touch of gray-green underlying it. The lighter tones are gorgeous in their rich, clear brilliance. Among the neutral shades there are two lovely new grays—vapeur and elephant. The former is on the pearl-gray color, only bluish instead of pinkish and exceedingly clear and delicate in all of the three tones. As the name implies, it is exactly the cloudy, fragile color of vapor, while the latter is a beautiful, deep gun-metal gray, almost black in the darkest tone, unlike the real color of the elephant, which is a dusty muddy gray. Rouen blue ranges between tapestry and Tokyo blue tones, with a tinge of steel gray very noticeable, particularly in the lightest of the three tones. The darker ones bear some likeness to the perfect dye color and are extremely rich despite their subdued softness. There are two new shades of tan; Isabelle, the one, composed of six tones, of which the darkest are extremely dull, almost a blackish brown, while the medium ones are more on the order of fawn color and the lightest are a decided pinkish belge, very delicate and smart, and particularly suitable for being blended with other colors. To Remove Ink Stains. To remove ink stains from your carpet melt mutton tallow and coat all over the ink stain unless the carpet is light weight, then dip into the hot tallow. After this wash the article in warm water and all traces of ink will be gone. If a shadow remains, place blotting paper over it and press with hot flatiron. Ready-Made Fall Suits. The American manufacturers are already turning out the new tailor suits for autumn at comparatively small prices. Blue, black and green are the favorite colors. Soft cloths are used. The skirts are circular and short. The coats are nearly to the knees, single-breasted and cut away from the waist line. Arabian Lace for Beds. Entire bed sets are now made of heavy ecru Arabian lace. These are fitted with china silk in faint colors. They are laid over the bed and extend nearly to the floor. There is an oblong piece for the pillows. For Baby. The little single-piece kimonos made of flannel or cashmere are not new, but one mother has made some of linen for baby to slip on in the summer. They are both usefy and attractive looking. SERGE FROCKS TO BE WORN Simplicity a Keynote of the Coming Season's Costumes. Some of the cloth frocks imported from Paris for the benefit of the women who are to pass the autumn at fashionable American resorts are marvels of chic simplicity. They are of light weight, fine twill, smooth-surfaced serge in tobacco brown, royal blue, hunter's pink and white, made with correctly clinging plain gored skirts which flare rather more about the bottom than do those having trains. The attached blouse has shoulder bands instead of plaits, and these are outlined at either side with tiny fabric-covered buttons set into black-etched buttonholes. There is a wide collar turned back from an embroidered muslin guimpe and slashed sleeves revealing muslin elbow cuffs, but the feature of the frock is the pair of envelope-flipped oblong pockets set on at the termination of the shoulder straps between bust and waist line. The same type of autumn outing frock may be developed in striped, checked or plain English mohair relieved by touches of bright color in the form of silk or satin pipings, a necktie and performance a sash. Kingman Any dainty-colored lawn would make up this pretty blouse. We have chosen pale blue for our mode. The yoke, which continues to the waist back and front, is of very fine muslin embroidery edged with a narrow frill of Valenciennes lace. The material is tucked in narrow tucks at the top, and set to yoke. It has a simple puffed sleeve, which is gathered into a cuff of the embroidery at the elbow. Maple Bavarian Cream. Heat one cupful maple sirup. Before it is too hot add the well-beaten yolk of one egg and cook for a moment. Soak a half tablespoonful of gelatine in a little cold water. Put dissolved gelatine into the hot sirup and egg, and while it cools beat stiff a half pint of thick cream. Then beat the cream thoroughly into the cold sirup. Put in mold or shebet glasses and set away in ice box. Jabots on Night Gowns. The dainty night gowns are now made with wide Dutch collars and fine embroidery, scalloped and edged with lace. Down the front from collar to waist is a four-inch jabot of lace and embroidery. Here and there are put flecks of colored ribbon.

Phone 7039 DIRECTIONS FOR TASTY CHOW, CHOW AND CATSUP. Green Tomatoes Needed for the Latter —Numerous Ingredients Used in Palatable English Pickle— For the Catsup. Take one peck of green tomatoes, half a peck ripe tomatoes, six white onions, three heads of white cabbage, one dozen green peppers and three red peppers. Chop the tomatoes, cabbage and other ingredients together into a fine hash, drain off any surplus juices, sprinkle a cup of fine salt over the vegetables and pack in a coarse burlap bag and lay on slats over a large pan or tub to drain. A board and weight on top will expedite matters. Let them remain 24 hours, until all the acrid juices are pressed out. Now add to them three pounds sugar, a half cup grated horseradish, a tablespoonful each ground black pepper, mustard, white mustard seed, mace and celery seed, and knead all together with the hands. Lastly add a half cup Dutch mustard mixed with vinegar and onion, and cover with good cider vinegar. Pack in stone jars and keep covered. English Pickle or Chow-Chow.—For this excellent pickle take two heads cauliflower, one head cabbage, 200 very small cucumbers, 500 half-grown cucumbers, pared and sliced, 50 small white onions, two heads celery cut in pieces, one small cup green grapes, one-half cup radish pods, one-half cup nasturtium seeds, one-half cup white mustard, one-quarter cup ground black pepper, one-quarter cup ground cinnamon, one-half cup turmeric and one cup grated horseradish. Cut the cauliflower in flowerets, chop the cabbage and onions, or leave the onions whole if preferred. Put all the vegetables in salt over night. The next day drain clear from the crude juices and cover with vinegar. Let it stand two days, then drain again and mix in the spices. Boil one gallon of vinegar and two pounds white sugar, and pour on while hot. Repeat this three mornings in succession, draining off the vinegar and reheating. The last time mix one scant half cup ground mustard with a little vinegar and add to the vinegar and sugar. Chili Sauce.—Most housekeepers nowadays prefer the chili sauce to catsup. For making the former this is a good rule: Take a peck of ripe tomatoes and skin by throwing into boiling water, then rubbing off the peel. Peel sight medium-sized white onions and chop the onions and tomatoes together until very fine. Put over the fire and cook 15 minutes. Never use tin or iron vessels in cooking tomatoes. A porcelain-lined kettle is best for preserves and pickles. After the first 15 minutes add a pint of vinegar, a tablespoonful each powdered cinnamon, all spice and black pepper, and teaspoonful cloves. Tie the spices in a small bag of cheescloth. Now let the whole cook for about five hours on the back of the stove until quite thick, taking care that it does not scorch. When ready to be taken up remove the bag of spices and strain or not, as preferred. Then add a tablespoonful ground mustard, a teaspoonful cayenne and two teaspoonfuls white ginger. Salt may be added to suit the taste. Old-Fashioned Tomato Catsup. Slice without peeling nine quarts of tomatoes not too ripe. Pack in a large porcelain-lined kettle, draining off as much of the clear juice as possible. Add to the tomatoes four tablespoonfuls of salt, two of allspice, one of cinnamon, three-quarters of a tablespoonful of cloves, a teaspoonful of black pepper and a half teaspoonful of cayenne. Pour over all three cupfuls of good vinegar. Cover the kettle and simmer gently on the back of the stove for three or four hours, not allowing it to stop a gentle simmer. Take from the fire and let the catsup cool in the kettle. When cold strain and bottle, sealing closely. Cheese Dreams. Cut thin slices of bread and butter both sides. Spread on lightly a little French mustard on one side of each slice, then put two slices of bread together with a layer of cheese between, coming next to the mustard. Put in oven and let remain until the cheese has thoroughly melted and the bread is crisp. This will be found a very dainty and appetizing luncheon dish to serve with an entree. If desired cut the bread in heart-shaped pieces, thereby making it a little more attractive Corn Salad. To make a most delicious salad that may be kept in air-tight jars for winter use, cut corn from two dozen roasting ears; chop fine two heads of cabbage and one dozen mangoes; add four tablespoons of English mustard, two cups of sugar, two tablespoons of salt, $1\frac{1}{2}$ teaspoons of turmeric, and two quarts of vinegar. Boil these ingredients 20 minutes in a granite kettle. Put in air-tight jars. This will make about five quarts of salad. Fruit Juice for Cereals A good way to use the juice always left from fruit canned for pies, etc., is to add it to the breakfast cereals when cooking. Besides being more palatable, it is healthful and an ultimate economy, for the sugar used in canning takes the place of the desired sweetening. Soup Meat Balls. Put cooked soup meat, cold boiled potatoes and onions in the food chopper, and pepper and salt to taste, form into balls, press flat and fry brown.
