The Solution of this Vexed Problem Lies, for the Most Part, with the Race. VOL. XV. President-elect Taft Spoke in South Carolinans. His Negro. The Solut Problem Lies, Part, with President elect Taft talked to the North Carolina Society in New York, the other night. Like all who talk to the South, he talked about the Negro. Queer this Negro and the South. He is the whole thing when one crosses the imaginary Mason and Dixon Line. The president-elect talked very nice and yet without the veneer of "sop." that the sycophant hand to the poor Negro. The problem of the race and its tomorrow belongs to the race. It cannot be sublet to another people. Then what are we to do? This is a grave question. It is reduced to the very locality in which we live. It is not a question to be disposed of by a president or any other personage of prominence. It is a question to which each individual must give his earnest and careful attention and consideration. The president-elect talked to people away down East and a people more or less filled with prejudice against our people. Prejudice against our getting "out of our place." "Our place,"—that's the point. Our place in the background, out in the field, and away from "the maddening throng,"—that's our place as viewed by the North Carolina society. But we do not agree. The Negro is working seriously and conscientiously on this problem of the races. He is figuring out the place of men. The COLORADO STATESMAN is only advising. We have lived so long out here on the side of the mountains; we have seen so many changes among those of our people who have come to live out here. The problem of their life is the problem of our life. We are helping to open and develop one of the greatest empires the world has ever known. Here we take our place among men according to our abitity and what we are able to contribute to the welfare and advancement of society. With the greater opportunities comes greater responsibility. Our people must look well to their personal standing. Go in and out among the merchants, business men and laborers as do we each day and the value of this advice becomes apparent. The Negroes of Denver must be honest with themselves; honest in their living; honest in their relations with their fellow men. Here the season is on when one needs all that can come to man. He earns less and spends more. He is more than ever dependent on his fellow men for favors. With the coming of Christmas he desires very naturally to do more. Then the great need of personal credit is seen. Then the better understanding of "just being honest" with ourselves can be understood. With the closing of the year, let us as a people right here in Colorado and Denver close up the bad of the past. Let us resolve to live better in the worlds tomorrow. OPERATED ON BY NEGRO PHYSICIANS. Chicago, November 30.—An unusual case of confidence in the ability of colored professional men, and one which should serve as a serious lesson to the many intelligent men of the race, who, when in need of medical and surgical service employ white men, to the discredit of their own trained and professional men, recently occured in Chicago. Dr. Lewis M. Dunton for more than thirty years president of Claflin University, at Orangesburg S. C., a leading spirit of the Freedmen Aid Society, and a prominent figure in the councils of the M. E. Church, found that a serious surgical operation was necessary for his restoration of health. When this became known to friends in the community he was advised to go either to Roosevelt Hospital New York, or Wesley Hospital DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 12. 1908. Chicago, at little or no expense. He declined the offers, stating that he had decided to go to Chicago, place himself in the hands of Doctors W. H. Marshall and Daniel H. Williams. Accompanied by Mrs. Dunton, he arrived in Chicago October 29, and remained at the Auditorium Hotel until the return of Dr. Williams, who was then finishing his course of lectures at Meharry, in Nashville. Dr. Marshall made all necessary arrangements for his admission to Provident Hospital, and the operation was performed by Dr. Williams Tuesday, Nov. 3. Dr. Duton reacted satisfactorily from the immediate operation, and is making good headway. Dr. Marshall is a graduate of Claflin and is a close personal friend of Dr. Dunton. He is one of the rising young medical men of Chicago. RACE ADVANCING It would be interesting to know what our forefathers would say were they to awaken to life here on earth, and be given statistics of what the colored people have accomplished since their emancipation from slavery. In every city of the United States may be found able, educated and successful colored people, poets, artists, orators, elocutionists, teachers, clergymen and scholars, besides good business men and women. And yet the majority of white people in our country, even those of kindly interest in the colored race, persistently talk about the failure of the Negro to make progress and the problem which this failure presents to our country. The Negro has not failed; he has not proven himself incapable. He has, on the contrary, shown amazing power to rise out of the awful ignorance imposed upon him first by the savage conditions of his native land, and later by the fetters placed upon him by the white race. And now comes the discovery, by an archaeologist, of a buried city in Abysinia which brings to light treasures of art and shows indications of a high state of civilization once enjoyed by the Negro races of prehistoric times. It is the first ray of light which history or science has ever offered the colored race regarding their inherited qualities. Always has it been insisted upon that they were hopeless savages from the earliest start, and that any exception only proved the rule. It should give the colored race new hope and courage to know that its original state was one of culture and achievement. Meanwhile, the work important for the rank and file of the race today is that of being satisfied to do humble and simple duties well, until they can do more ambitious ones, and to cultivate the homely virtues and to take more pride in their homes. All over America, wherever the colored people have settled in communities, there is a painful evidence of their lack of pride in the making of an attractive home. Well dressed men and women come from dingy homes, ugly from the lack of a little paint or whitewash and where the light of day struggles through unwashed and uncurtained windows. Clean up and brace up good people, and realize how great have been your achievements in the past, and how wonderful they are in the present! An success to you!—Miss Ella Wheeler Wilcox in American Journal Examiner. RACE NEWS GAYHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES. Little Rock, Nov. 30.—A few days ago Allen Hatter a Negro farmer of Fourche Dam, and also constable of the place, sold on the streets of Little Rock 144 bales of cotton, which netted $7,344,85. M. D. Butts, near Calvert, Texas owns 600 acres of Robertson Co. land. He gathered 50 bales of cotton this year. He has 20 mules 50 Owls, 25 horses, 30 hogs, and hundreds of chickens, etc. He is said to be worth fully $30,000. Washington, D. C., Dec. 9. President Roosevelt today notified the secretary of war that as soon as it can be done without injustice he desires all Negro regiments in the army to be supplied with Negro bandmasters now connected with Negro companies. How many Negroes would answer "yes," if they were asked did they know that the successful coach of the football team of the Massachusetts State Agricultural College was a Negro, Mathew Bullock, the famous end on the Dartmouth football team of a few years ago? While speaking of the many industrial and financial institutions of credit that progressive Norfolk has in her midst, it would not be right to omit the Gideon Savings Bank, a banking business conducted by colored people. Their method of conducting their business dealing fairly with all, has brought them phenomenal success The total assets of the Pioneer Building and Loan Association of Greensbore, N. C., as shown by the recently issued annual report, are $18,561.73. The total valve of the eleven series issued up to that time was $15,336.70. Mr. J. E. Dellinger is president and Prof James B. Dudley is secretary and treasurer. Washington, Dec I.—It is understood that President Roosevelt has decided to reappoint W. D. Crum, the collector of the port of Charleston, S. C. His term expires this month. Booker Washington is said to have requested the retention of Dr. Crum. There has been no complaint from Charleston against the collector. Mobile, Ala., Dec. 1—Thousands attended the corner stone laying of the main exhibit building, which is being erected for the Negro Exposition to be held in this city in the fall of 1909. Many prominent Negroes were present, and the gathering was one of the largest and most distinguished that ever assembled in this part of the State. Kansas City, Nov. 30.—Charles Stevens, the colored man who stole $50,000 from a registered mail pouch nere several months ago, was found guilty today. The maximum penalty is 35 years in the penitentiary. He will be sentenced later. The pouch was being sent to New York from a Los Angeles bank. The money was never found and Stevens is thought to have buried it. The Baltimore Steam Boat Company, incorporated under the laws of Maryland with an authorized capital of $60,000, makes its initial bow to the public. Their certificate of incorporation authorizes them to engage in water excursions bathing, beach and hotel business. The whole outfit is owned and managed by a company of energetic business men of the race, with Mr. George W. Brown as president. Butte, Mont., Dec. 3.—The trial of Harry T. Smith, 21 years old, for a murderous assault on John A. Taylor, a Pullman portor, came to an end today when the jury announced a disagreement and were discharged. Smith tried to hold up a Pullman car in the yards here October 17, and when Taylor resisted, shot him, inflict ing a serious wound. After dismissal a juryman stated publicly that they had stood 11 to I for conviction, but that the man who held out did so on the ground that a white man should never be imprisoned for shooting a Negro. Lewistown, Pa., Nov 29.—I'm goin' ter kill you befor't this night's over," furiously declared Frank Lee, after a dispute with George Porter, his employer, in the latter's store here, late last night. Both were colored and Lee was employ- N.0.12 ed as a teamster by Porter, who was well-to do. They quarreled over the amount of wages due Lee. Slamming the door of the store, Lee went to his home a block away got his shotgun, loaded it with large shot and returned to the store. Suddenly throwing open the door he fired at Porter at close range. The full charge took effect shattering the right lung and cutting off two ribs. Porter died in a few hours. The first regularly organized State fair for Negroes ever held in South Carolina was opened the 10th of November and continued throughout the week. The press, both white and colored, pronounced it a decided success, not only in point of attendance but in the extensive display of exhibits representing almost every king of industry, and at the same time making an excellent showing in the educational field. Governor Ansel was the principal speaker of the eccasian, and his encouraging remarks were enthusiastically cheered by the 10,000 visitors present on the grounds. The Governor and hundreds of other white visitors expressed themselves as being agreeably surprised at the abundance, the varieth and the excellence of the exhibits. To add to the credit and good reputation of the race, the local papers observed that during the week the streets were crowded with well dressed and prosperous looking Negroes; that perfect order prevailed and not a drunken or disorderly one was seen anywhere. A NEGRO AT OXFORD. In accordance with the provisions of Rhodes' will, the Rhodes scholars are annually entertained at dinner by the trustees. Now one of the American scholars in Oxford at present is a Negro, a man of ability and general excellence of character. Naturally he was invited with the rest to the annual dinner. To the amazement of Oxford, some of the Americans from the Southern States refused to attend the friendly function! "We had heard of race-prejudice and race problems in America, but Oxford is not America, and the Negro under graduate is in a position of perfect social equality with the white man; he is one of us. We did not perhaps openly blame the men from the South; but we did feel that it was altogether wrong to introduce into Oxford prejudices of this kind, and be felt further that the influence of Oxford could not have penetrated very deeply into the minds of at least some of her American students. It is the business of educated gentlemen to overcome prejudice, not to foster it; and most assuredly Oxford is not the place in which to display it."—Ex. The Texas Club No gambling allowed.

IN LATE DISPATCHES DOINGS AND HAPPENINGS THAT MARK THE PROG- RESS OF THE AGE. WESTERN NEWS. The great government collier Prometheus was successfully launched at the Mare Island, Cal., navy yard on the 5th inst. The vessel was christened by Miss Dollie Evans, daughter of Naval Constructor Holdena Evans. The Carlisle Indian football team, in a game on the grounds of the University of Denver Saturday, defeated the university team by a score of 8 to 4. This showing places the Denver eleven high up in the list of football teams. The final bore in the Spring Garden tunnel of the Western Pacific railroad, the Gould extension to the Pacific coast, was made Friday, when fresh air passed through the entire length of 7,306 feet. This is the famous Beckwith Pass tunnel. As the result of the investigations of the federal internal revenue officers during the past two weeks concerning the violation of the United States laws in regard to the manufacture and sale of oleomargarine, fourteen men were arrested in Denver. Harriman interests have placed orders for general freight equipment valued at $1,250,000 for the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company. The new order consists of 1,000 50-ton box cars, and the deliveries will begin some time in January. Colenel and Mrs. Charles C. Bogardus have donated to the University of Michigan fifteen hundred acres of land, valued at $25,000, in Cheboygan county, as a permanent site for the summer camp of the engineering students of the university. Figures compiled by the city statistician of Chicago estimating the city's total inhabitants at 2,540,896 are declared by Robert C. Givins, of the Three Million Club, to be just 259,104 short of the correct total. In other words Mr. Givins estimates Chicago's population now at 2,800,000. Butte, Montana, is much excited over the statement that the President told John D. Ryan that he means to close every smelter in America whose fumes injure the forests, unless means can be devised to make sulphur smoke innocuous to vegetable life. He mentioned the smelters at Anaconda and at East Helena. That the Teller Indian school near Grand Junction, Colorado, will be abandoned and the $300,000 property donated by the government to the state to be used as a normal school is the statement made by Senator Teller in a telegram received at Grand Junction. Frederick A. Hyde of San Francisco, recently convicted of conspiracy to defraud the United States of large tracts of land in Oregon and Washington, has been sentenced in the District of Columbia criminal court to pay a fine of $10,000 and to serve two years in the penitentiary at Moundsville, W. Va. the maximum penalty under the law. An appeal was taken. The Borie cutoff on the Union Pacific railway between Denver and Cheyenne is now operated for all trains regularly. Engines which heretofore required a helper between Carr and Cheyenne, can pull the same weight over the cutoff without aid. The time at present will not be changed, although the new line gives an equivalent of fifteen minutes better speed in passenger trains and forty-five minutes for freight trains. GENERAL NEWS. It is reported that the last stage coach used in the Yellowstone park is to give way to an automobile. That the wave of opposition throughout the country to the liquor trade seems to be receding, was the keynote of the reports from various state organizations made at the closing session of the National Liquor League in Washington. The number of persons killed in India in 1907 by wild beasts was 1,960, as compared with 2,086 in 1906. The report says this is the lowest figure on record since the government has been gathering statistics on the subject. The budget committee of the Russian Duma has adopted the bill authorizing an external loan of $225,000,000. The president of the committee announces that the government has consented to a public discussion of the bill in the Duma. The low price of silver has not reduced the Canadian production, although it has caused some curtailment in the West. Rolly McIntosh, 76 years old, chief of the Creek Indians, died at his home near Stidham, Okla., on the 5th inst. McIntosh had been a representative of the tribe in Washington for the last ten years. The revolutionary army, 8,000 men strong, marched into Port au Prince, Hayti, at 8 o'clock Saturday morning, General Anton Simon was at its head, and he was given an ovation by the people of the city. The entrance of the soldiers was orderly. P. J. O'Connor, former national president of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, former national president of the Catholic Knights of America, died at Savannah, Georgia, on the 9th inst. The Putnam Hill chapter, C. A. B., at Greenwich, Connecticut, will be incorporated to take over the house in which General Putnam spent the night before his famous ride down the stone steps. The number of bonded whisky losses in Kentucky this year has caused many companies to consider whether a moral hazard is developing because of the rapid increase in the prohibition and local option sentiment. Much curiosity has been caused by an announcement from Wisconsin that the son of a wealthy resident of that state has applied for patents on a new type of motor car which he expects to market at $450. A total of 11,010,864 bales of cotton ginned from the growth of 1908 to Dec. 1st, and 26,922 active ginneries, against 3,343,396 bales ginned to Dec. 1st last year and 26,854 ginneries a year ago were announced in the census bureau report on cotton. Miss Mary Goodwin Pinkney, died in New York city on the 8th inst. at the age of ninety-nine. Miss Pinkney was credited with being one of the wealthy women of the world, the value of her holdings in Manhattan real estate being estimated at $10,000,000. Elks in New York are to spend $1,000,000 on a twelve story clubhouse, hotel and theater, at Forty-third street and Sixth avenue.

November fire losses have been heavy in the United States and Canada, and the month will be added to the long list of others in 1908 which have shown no profit for the companies. The total for the month is estimated $17,000,000, making the total for the year to date $225,000,000. This compares with $197,000,000 for the first eleven months of 1907. On the 4th inst. friends in New York publicly eulogized the late Grover Cleveland, who died June 24th. These tributes were paid at the memorial exercises which marked the opening session of the second annual meeting of the Association of Life Insurance presidents, of which organization Mr. Cleveland was chairman and general counsel at the time of his death. In the suit at New York to dissolve the Standard Oil Company, the government inquisitor, on figures submitted, showed that the Continental Oil Company, a Standard subsidiary in the Middle West, made profits of 115 per cent. on its capitalization of $300,000, and that the Standard Oil Company of Indiana on a capitalization of $1,000,000 earned about $55,000,000 between 1899 and 1906. The American Mining congress at its closing session in Pittsburg Saturday elected J. H. Richards, Boise, president; Dr. E. R. Buckley, Flat River, Missouri, first vice president; John Dearn, Salt Lake, second vice president; W. F. R. Mills, Denver, third vice president; J. F. Callbreath, Denver, secretary; directors, E. G.

Younful air craft enthusiasts at Columbia University, New York City, forming the University Aero Club, are soon to have an aeroplane and a dirigible balloon for experimental purposes. The balloon and flying machine will be presented to the club by a donor whose name has not been made public. It is probable that a meet in which machines of the students will compete will be held at the university in the spring.

A bill introduced by Representative Townsend of Michigan gives to the Interstate Commerce Commission the power to prohibit an advance in rates in cases in which shippers individually or collectively protest against, the advance prior to the expiration of the legal thirty days' notice. The bill places the burden on the carrier to show at subsequent hearings on the proposed rates that the increased rates are just and reasonable. Republican senators at a largely attended caucus unanimously elected Senator Hale of Maine chairman to succeed the late Senator Allison, in the chairmanship of the steering committee, which determines all important legislation of that body. Moving pictures of wolf hunts turned the east room of the White House Tuesday night into a miniature theater. Nearly 100 invited guests made up the audience.

It was to the committee of 100 of the Lakes to the Gulf Deep Waterway Association, headed by Governor Deneen of Illinois, received by the President in the East room of the White House, that he made this declaration. Governor Deneen had presented a copy of the resolutions adopted by the association and made a few remarks to which the President replied as follows: "I have felt, as the governor has so well put it, that no more important service could be rendered to this country than the building of the Panama canal between the Atlantic and the Pacific, and one thing I am proud of in connection with the building of that canal is that there has not been legitimate cause for the breath of scandal connected with any feature of the proceeding. "We have cause to be ashamed of only one set of Americans in connection with the building of the canal, and that is of those Americans who have been guilty of infamous falsehood concerning the acquisition of the property and the construction of the canal itself. If they can be reached for criminal libel I shall try to have them reached. If not, at any rate, all the facts we know, or ever have known, are at the disposal of each and every one of you here and of anyone in Congress, if they wish to see them. "Next only in importance from the physical standpoint to building the Panama canal comes the question of developing the use of our own waterways. That must be done by the policy of irrigation at the headwaters up in the arid regions; and where you come from, gentlemen, it is to be done by making our seacoast lake a big loop in from the Gulf of Mexico to the Great Lakes, and we will see that that work is done just as honestly, just as efficiently, as the Panama canal work has been done; and no work could have been done from beginning to end more honestly or more efficiently." William Nelson Cromwell, the New York lawyer and financier, who is conversant with every phase of the negotiations culminating in the purchase of the French canal interests and with the dispositions of the money paid by the United States, in a lengthy statement Thursday declared that there was no crookedness or grafting and that so far as he knows no Americans shared in the distribution of the purchase money, which he says was handled and apportioned by the French government. Boss Ruef Found Guilty. San Francisco.—Abraham Ruef, former political boss of San Francisco, was convicted of bribery Thursday. The verdict was returned exactly at 4 o'clock, the deliberations of the jury occupying twenty-four hours. The warnings of Judge Lawler and the vigilance of the police checked any demonstration, although the excitement in the court room was so intense that men were thrust down into their seats or held in the grasp of detectives as they rose to obtain a better view of the proceedings. By previous agreement of counsel that the bill of exceptions should be settled later, the court set Dec. 12th as the day for pronouncing judgment. Ruef's conviction renders him liable to a maximum of fourteen years in the penitentiary. Great Financier Optimistic Chicago.—"Any man who is a bear on the future of this country will go broke." J. Pierpont Morgan, in a circle of friends and business associates, at the Chicago Club Thursday, pointed to this sentiment, given to him years ago by his father, as the basis of his business career, and the secret of his unfailing optimism in spite of panics and reverses. Extra Session on Tariff. Washington.—William H. Taft said Thursday that it was his belief that the House would make an "honest and thorough revision of the tariff" at the extra session which he will call for that purpose. The belief bases on a conference he had with Speaker Cannon and in a session with the Republican members of the ways and means committee. Mr. Taft said he had not consulted with senators on the subject, indicating the tremendous pressure upon his time as the reason. SAN LUIS VALLEY ELECTRIC LINES COMPANY INCORPORATED TO BUILD AN EXTENSIVE IN- TERBAN SYSTEM. STOCKED AT $500,000 PROPOSED ROUTES COVER PRINCIPAL SECTIONS OF THREE LARGE COUNTIES. Denver.—if the project which has been launched by a new company is carried out towns in the San Luis valley are to be connected by an interurban electric system built by a company which will spend over a half million dollars on the project. According to incorporation papers filed on the 9th inst. with the secretary of state by the San Luis Valley Interurban Railway Company, the line will extend through Saguache, Rio Grande and Conejos counties. It will branch out, running northeasterly from Del Norte to Center, in Saguache county; from Monte Vista north to Center; from Alamosa northeast to Center; from Center west to Devil's Gate reservoir on Careno creek in Saguache county; from Center north to Saguache. The incorporators are John M. Moser, E. L. Fleshman, Adam J. Weiss, W. W. Adams, Leland A. Bernard, George W. McGraw and James S. Warren. The amount of capital stock is $500,000, but more money will be expended before the line is finished. Ouray Bankers Arrested. Denver.—A Republican special from Ouray Wednesday night says: Geo. H. Hurlburt, president; Theron Stevens, vice president, and Frank P. Tanner, cashier of the defunct bank of Ouray, against whom indictments were returned last week, today accepted service without the capiases being formally served and all were bound over to the June term of the District Court, bonds for Hurlburt and Stevens being fixed at $15,000 and for Tanner at $10,000. Nine counts each were found against Hurlburt and Stevens and five counts against Tanner. Stevens reached here from Nevada last night, coming back voluntarily when he learned he was wanted here. The nature of the indictments has not been made public, but they are thought to charge the trio with receiving deposits after they knew the bank to be insolvent. Antelope in Morgan County. Denver.—A Fort Morgan dispatch of the 9th inst. says: It is reported that about 200 antelope are feeding in alfalfa fields six miles southwest of here. These animals have been forced by the heavy snows to seek feed. Yesterday two bands, one numbering 125 and the other about 75, came in from the hills southwest of here. They have lived in this section since the law has been protecting them and at times have gone into settlements south of here. During the summer and in fact at nearly all times of the year they are quite tame. Some cattlemen have complained that they roamed over winter pastures and spoiled the range. At a ranch thirty miles south of here a large band is being fed with the ranchman's sheep. Murder Suspect Heard From: Denver:—A Republican special from Trinidad Monday night says: Martinez, the suspected slayer of four members of the Garcia family, who were found with their heads split open Friday afternoon, has been tracked to a point fifteen miles south of the Garcia rauch, he having two horses, one of which the missing girl, Maggie Garcia, is supposed to be riding. A note scrawled on an envelope found on the table of the Garcia home, in a girl's handwriting, says: "I am to blame for it all." It is believed that the note was written by the girl under threats of death. Amendments All Defeated. Denver.—The official canvass on the constitutional amendments submitted at the late election has been completed. The first amendment, to increase the salaries of the governor and judges, was defeated by a vote of 16,088 in favor, to 37,753 against. The third amendment, to increase the fees of precinct and county officers, was defeated by a vote of 18,559 in favor to 29,022 against. The second amendment proposed, to fund the old state indebtedness, narrowly escaped a victory, and was defeated by only 1,098 votes. Statements of election expenses filed by J. U. Vigil, chairman of the Las Animas Democratic county committee, and D. L. Taylor, chairman of the Republican central committee, show that the Republicans of Las Animas county spent $10,754, against $3,898.50 expended by the Democrats. Former Governor Frank S. Black of New York, one of the foremost lawyers of the metropolis, will come to Denver some time in January to address the Dartmouth Alumni Association, which now has 150 members.

General Simon's army w THE island of Hayti is furnishing an object lesson in Negro government these days, for the observation and delectation of the civilized world. The picture has its spectacular sides, but altogether it is not very creditable to the Negro. Another revolution is in progress just nine months after the last attempt to overthrow the government was so savagely put down by the soldiers of President Nord Alexis. This time the rebels have been more successful, and, under the leadership of General Simon, have taken Port au Prince, the capital city, without firing a shot, and have compelled Nord Alexis to flee for his life, and take refuge on a French warship in the harbor. General Simon's army was too large and too well equipped to be opposed. Nine months ago Nord Alexis had his soldiers hunt out and shoot down without trial the leaders of an incipient rebellion, but his enemies only multiplied. Now, immediately upon the success of General Simon, a half dozen aspirants for the presidency of the Negro republic have loomed up. Ot this writing there is grave danger of further strife the question of who shall be president. Hayti lies close to the United States, but we know little about her internal affairs. It is evident that her people have followed too closely the idea of military rule. Nearly every rich man appears to be a general, and to have a little army of his own ready to back his aspirations for political honors. Naturally this idea is readily accompanied with the idea of government by fear. The main purpose of the Haytien army is to enforce the policies of the President, for the time being, and to put down revolutions. President Roosevelt's big stick in this country is discounted by a big gun in Hayti. Free and fair elections and aequiescence with the will of the majority are necessary principles of government which the Haytiens do not seem to have learned to appreciate. Then, too, the Negroes of Hayti, reared in the French school and with traditions of military powess inflating their natural sense of pride, incline to old world ways rather than to the manners of the new world, to which they are so close a neighbor. Her people need to take warning if they desire to remain their own rulers. European governments have long hungered for their control and have been restrained only by the Monroe Doctrine of the United States. But the United States will not allow Hayti to continue forever in turmoil. Negroes everywhere wish to see the Haytien government survive. Negro governments are few, but some are successful. The further the Negro gets away from savagery and the savage art of war, the more capable he will become of self government. JOS. D. D. RIVERS By GEORGE A.

Not the conquering of the wilderness; not the connecting of the east and west, but the development of a vastly improved system which shall concentrate every device of modern science to the increase of celerity in movement of traffic.

Cleanliness is a virtue not demanded from the factory hand while at work, but children while at play are constantly reprimanded because of their dirty hands, spots on their clothes, etc. So frequently are they called away from their real life because of this, and so dressed up are many of them (because the father can afford it and the mother likes it) that natural, intense, wild play is gradually replaced by occupations of lesser value, or by systematic games, like tennis, basketball and baseball. Spontaneous action and natural growth take place when children are left unincumbered by critical adult supervision during their free play hours. They are naturally diggers of the dirt, waddlers in puddles, climbers of trees and fences and balustrades. Real boys and girls are rovers in field and forest, in alleys and dangerous places. Real boys and girls are fascinated by the most grewsome ghost stories, and they listen to the most impossible fairy tales with breathless attention and keenly enjoy the inner battle between fear and courage. T Future Prosperity Depends on Sane Solution Whatever born with life must die, has so far in human experience been an immutable law. We grow old and pass away, leaving room for others, and they taking the places we once occupied. No more need there be said of that, but can human life be made to span a longer space between the cradle and the grave? The answer is "Yes." From what we know of the earliest statistics at the time of Buffon 150 years ago, the average probabilities of the duration of life were as follows: At 20 years of age, 33 years and five months; at 30, 28 years; at 40, 22 years and one month; at 50, 16 Not least among the detriments to a natural development of children is fashion, a forced culture of vanity and extravagance. Not only do the parents but also the teachers set the example. To follow slavishly all the extravagances of fashion appears to be a far stronger tendency than the desire to be refined and simple. It is so utterly common to be fashionable nowadays that I should think teachers, at least, would refuse to imitate the great mass of humanity, unless the fashion happens to be adaptable to the particular personality of the wearer.

One of the pleasantest and most entertaining musical programs of the season was rendered on Thursday evening by the Inter-Graduate Association of Denver at Shorter Chapel. The church was filled with a large and appreciative audience. Mr George I. Holt, tenor, was the special feature of the evening's program. Mr. Holt came to Denver highly recommended and his singing in no wise detracted from his very enviable reputation. The singing of various assisting choruses was of a high order. All Denver looks forward to the next feature. FOUR WEEKS IN ARKANSAS. Thos. W. Arrington returned home last Sunday from Fort Smith, Arkansas, his old stamping ground. No one that has ever left Denver was more warmly greeted on their return than was Tom. He reports a royal good time and in an interview he says that the Negroes at his old home, as well as in Oklahoma are doing well in all business and farming vocations. He says ther are but few Negroes in Fort Smith who are renting from white people, and those who are not property owners are tenants of Negroes, many of whom own a number of houses, as well as business blocks. The jim-crowism that prevails there is the only thing that keeps a northern Negro from "stocking." He put in a good bit of his time hunting partridges, cotton-tails, "felarks," etc. and proved to be one of the best shooters in the gang, and says his four weeks' stay was one of the best and most enjoyable of his life.

Those whose memory were honored were E L. Shafer, J. W. Fields, F. L. King, A. A. Hudson and W. C. Allison. The Elks' ceremonies are of a very solemn and touching nature and brings out a feeling of brotherly love.

The audience thoroughly enjoyed the rare treat, especially the cornet solo by Mr. Joe Kelly. The "Poet and Peasant," that difficult masterpiece of music, was rendered in an excellent manner to which the house fairly shook with applause. The other selections were equally as well rendered and Harris Orchestra made all the Denver citizens certainly feel proud of their work and especially the Alliance. The Alliance publicly thanks Mr. Harris for having his orchestra twice amid the flying snow at the Alliance ready to serve the Alliance gratis. Mr. Harris very modestly accepted the Alliance good will and incidentally promised them a musical program once every month.

Oatmeal put to soak in water, the night before only requires about one-half the time to cook. It is best not to have carpets on the bedroom floors; use rugs instead. These can easily be cleaned. Celery should lie at least half an hour in cold water or upon ice before serving in order to be firm and crisp. Stuffed olives chopped fine, mixed with cream cheese and made into balls are delicious if served with a plain salad. Chicken salad is delicious if mixed with small pieces of green pepper and mayonnaise. Press the meat into pepper cases. When starching children's pinafores add a small piece of sugar to the boiled starch. This will make them iron more easily, and leave a beautiful gloss on them. Stockings should not be washed in the same water which has been used in washing white clothes, as they are apt in that case to become covered with lint. Delicious Potato Ring. A potato ring promises to live long as a substantial resort in time of need. Harper's Bazar says: "This makes an exceedingly nice dish for either a family luncheon or dinner. It is attractive to the eye, besides affording a good opportunity for economy. The mashed potato should be reheated in a little milk or cream and placed in a pan set into hot water. While these are heating cut the left-over fowl or meat into small pieces and reheat in the gravy. When ready to dish, whip into the potato the stiffly whipped white of one egg, and then place tablespoonfuls around the meat. A garnish of parsley adds to the good effect, and tufts of this or of celery foliage may be placed around the base. Should there be any onions left over they can be reheated with the meat and gravy. Warmed-Over Dishes Peas and cabbage may be warmed over in the following way: Butter a small mold or basin, put in the article to be warmed and place some pieces off butter on the top, cover with a saucer and put into the oven until sufficiently hot. New potatoes are troublesome to reheat; the best way is to measure them out before scraping, so that none may be left. This is not always possible, however; if any are ltft they may be put into the steamer and made hot, covering them with a cloth instead of the saucepan lid. Delicious Dessert One cup of white sugar, three tablespoonfuls of grated chocolate, five tablespoonfuls of grated bread crumbs, three eggs, one good pint of sweet milk; add a little salt and vanilla to taste. Mix the sugar and the yolks of the eggs thoroughly, then add the bread, then the chocolate, and lastly the milk. Bake about 20 minutes, then cover with the whites of the eggs well beaten, mixed with three tablespoonfuls of sugar. Put back into oven until brown. Raisin Light Biscuits Take a lump of light dough ready to make down, shorten with a lump of butter, about a tablespoonful to a pint of dough and let it rise as for light biscuits. Flour the rolling board well and roll the dough about half an inch thick. Spread thickly with melted butter, sprinkle with sugar, raisins and cliramon. Roll up, and with a sharp knife cut off pieces about an inch thick. Bake in a moderate oven. Pickled Grapes. Pick fresh grapes from the stems without breaking, and put in a jar. For seven pounds grapes, allow a quart of vinegar, three pounds of sugar, a tablespoonful each of whole cloves and cinnamon sticks. Cook vinegar, sugar and spices together a few moments. Cool to a little hotter than lukewarm and pour over the grapes, which are not to be cooked. Cover and set in a cool place.

KILLS THE GIRL AND HIMSELF FRANCISCO MARTINEZ FINISHES HORRIBLE CRIME IN SOUTH- ERN COLORADO. FIVEFOLD MURDERER ABDUCTED BEAUTFUL GIRL, AS SAULTED AND FINALLY SHOT HER. Denver.—A Trinidad special to The Republican Tuesday night says: Details of one of the most revolting crimes or series of crimes in the annals of the West and which have caused people to shudder at their awfulness, are given by parties from this city who returned today from the extreme eastern part of the county, where Francisco Martinez murdered four members of the Garcia family last Wednesday—the father, mother, son and grandmother, abducted Maggie Garcia, a seventeen-year-old girl whom he held as a prisoner until Sunday night, completely at his mercy, assaulting her at will, then sent a bullet through her brain, which must have been a welcome relief from her tortures, and finally took his own life to escape death at the stake, which he knew awaited his capture alive. While the community was prepared for a story full of horror, it was not prepared for the awful details given today. Everything indicates that Martinez premeditated the murder, as last Tuesday he was seen sharpening an axe while the elder Garcia turned the grindstone for him. Martinez was given shelter at the Garcia home Wednesday night and, after the family had retired and he was satisfied that all were asleep, he crept upon them and killed first the son, twenty-five years of age, the only member of the family who could have fought for his life. Then the father, seventy-five years of age, and the mother, fifty-two years of age, were attacked, he splitting their heads clear to their chins. Then going to the bed of the aged grandmother Luz Gurule, who slept with the seventeen-year-old girl, he dragged her from the bed, as the mark on her arm plainly indicates, so that he could reach the girl. Later he killed the grandmother while she knelt in prayer at the foot of the other three members who had been slain, and while she was holding a crucifix in her hand. Her head was split through the center clear to her neck, and she fell to one side and lay across the feet of Mrs. Garcia. Her knees were bent under her, showing that she was praying when murdered. After four of the family had been so ruthlessly slain, he turned his attention to the beautiful seventeen-year-old girl, who was to later suffer torture worse than a thousand deaths. With the bodies of his victims, horribly butchered, in plain view, Martinez assaulted the girl, she being too helpers and too terrified to desist. The fiend then forced the girl to accompany him. As it was necessary for her to change clothing she secured one of her brother's coats and an overcoat of her father. Martinez took no horses, and dragging the terrified girl with him, started for the hills and Rock Canon, east of the Garcia home. The murder did not become known until Friday, when three posses were started in pursuit. The last seen of Martinez and the girl alive was about 4:00 o'clock Sunday afternoon, when one of the posse tracked them to a rocky canon, nearly thirty miles away. One member of the posse fired at Martinez, when the latter placed the girl between himself and his pursuers and retreated up the canon among the rocks, which are inaccessible to horses. The posse was composed entirely of Mexicans, already terrified at the murders committed and in deadly fear of Martinez. These men returned to tue Garcia home and there found Under Sheriff Kreeger, who had left here the Saturday before. The officer went back with the posse, arriving at the hiding place of Martinez early Monday morning. Kreeger led his men along the rocks until they found the bodies of the two. Martinez was in a sitting position against a large rock, and about ten feet below him, lying face down, where it had fallen from a ledge of rock after the fatal shot, was the dead body of the girl. She had been shot between the eyes, the bullet passing through her head. Martinez had placed the weapon against his right temple and ended his own worthless life, tearing the top of his head nearly off. The body of the girl was carried on the shoulders of the men down the canon to the road, where it was placed on the wagon and taken to the Garcia home. The party arrived just as funeral services were being held over the bodies of the other four vittims. Session of Congress Opens Washington.—After being in session an hour, the House of Representatives which met at noon Monday for the second session of the sixteenth Congress, adjourned out of respect for the memory of several of its own members and of Senator Allison. At the opening session of the Senate, Vice President Fairbanks called the Senate to order and Rev. Edward Everett Hale made the opening prayer. An immediate adjournment for the day was taken in honor of the memory of the late Senator Allison of Iowa. STATE NEWS ITEMS The Crystal Theatre Company, capitalized at $12,000, has been incorporated to conduct a vaudeville theater at Greeley. It is stated that Mayor Speer is planning for a municipal news weekly in Denver to contain reports of the various departments of the city government. The Grand Junction city council has by unanimous vote instructed the chief of police to wipe out every house of ill-fame within the city and see that they remain closed. The Denver school board has called a special election to be held on January 16th for the purpose of voting on a bond issue of $1,000,000 to provide for the erection of new schools. On the night of the 8th inst. fire destroyed the shaft house and buildings of the Mesa Mining & Milling Company at Unaweep, entailing a loss of $12,000. There was no insurance. Another 5 per cent. dividend has been declared by Richard H. Malone, receiver of the defunct Fidelity Savings Association of Denver. This dividend means the disbursing of $41,000, and makes a total of 40 per cent. paid to depositors. Railway mail service to Walden, Colo. from Laramie, Wyo., will soon be turned over to Laramie, Hahn's Peak & Pacific railway, going by train to within thirty-five miles of Walden and then by star route. At present seventy miles is covered by stage. The scientific students and members of the University Scientific Society of the State University are cooperating with the office of state dairy commissioner for the purpose of purifying the milk and milk products which are produced in Boulder county. Calvin Phillips, who killed his father-in-law, George Banbridge, July 4th, and who was found guilty of murder in the second degree, was sentenced by Judge Garrigues in the District Court at Greeley on the 9th inst. to not less than 10 nor more than 15 years in the penitentiary. There is still talk at Fort Collins of Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson becoming president of Colorado Agricultural college. While it has not been definitely decided who will succeed Dr. B. O. Aylesworth, and probably will not for several weeks, there are rumors that Mr. Wilson will be chosen. At Cripple Creek on the 9th inst. Charles Hathaway, head timberman at the Vindicator main shaft, was drawn into the shave wheel at the head of the gallows frame and seriously injured. He is secretary of the Cripple Creek District Pioneers' Association. Weld county claims to lead the state in the increase of votes cast at the last election. In 1906 the county cast 6,100 votes, and this year 10,700. Estimating from the vote of two years ago, Weld county people claim that the population was then 26,000 in that county, and according to the vote this year, 38,000. Work on the Riverside reservoir in Larkin county has been completed and 525 cubic feet of water a second is now being run into this, the largest reservoir in the county. The Riverside Irrigation Company has completed filings on the reservoir site of Wildcat creek and will commence construction as soon as possible. Mayor Speer of Denver is said to be consulting with railroad authorities with a view to having the railroads running into the city cultivate every waste spot of ground, grow grass, plant trees and shrubs and have high walls of shrubbery running along the outer edges of the tracks from the city limits close into the depot, and to have the depot itself a beauty spot. At Cripple Creek Tuesday William Campion, a brother of Andy J. Campion, a commission man of Denver, sat down in a chair in the lobby of the National hotel and went to sleep. A few minutes later a porter discovered that Campion was dead. The coroner's autopsy disclosed the fact that death was due to a blod clot near the heart. Campion was a butcher, thirty-four years old. He leaves a widow. At a meeting of Pueblo business men Tuesday night $200,000 in stock subscriptions were pledged from Pueblo to the Kansas-Colorado Railroad Company. The meeting was enthusiastic and several thousand dollars of stock were subscribed by those present. The road proposes to erect a handsome hotel station and office building in Pueblo and the money raised in the city will be applied to that structure. Colorado Springs will establish a precedent in the West by segregating the sexes in the public schools. Beginning February 1, 1909, the boys will be separated from the girls in recitation classes in the high schools, as an experiment, and if the results are satisfactory, the idea will be carried out more completely in the grammar schools, beginning with the eighth and seventh grades in order named. Within two or three years separate buildings may be established, if the idea proves entirely successful. At a recent election Colorado Springs decided by an overwhelming majority to have a charter. Twenty-one taxpayers will be elected on January 19th as delegates to a charter convention and within sixty days they will submit a draft of the proposed charter. The commission form of government is being investigated. Christmas dividends are to be paid by Cripple Creek mining companies to the total amount of more than $125,000. The formal transfer of the Crowe reservoir site on Pike's Peak has been made to the city of Colorado Springs. J. C. Bloom & Co.

HEAR MESSAGE OF PRESIDENT DOCUMENT FROM CHIEF EXECU TIVE READ IN CONGRESS. Present Currency System Declared Imperfect—Control of Corporations the Province of the National Government—Conduct of Labor Leaders Criticised—For Postal Savings Banks. Washington.—In his message to congress, read in both houses Tuesday, President Roosevelt makes important suggestions as to what he considers necessary legislation. The president congratulates the nation on its present excellent financial standing, but calls attention to the need of remedying defects in the currency system. He says: The financial standing of the nation at the present time is excellent, and the financial management of the nation's interests by the government during the last seven years has shown the most satisfactory results. But our currency system is imperfect, and it is earnestly to be hoped that the currency commission be able to propose a thoroughly good system which will go away, with the existing defects. During the period from July 1, 1901, to September 30, 1908, there was an increase in the amount of money in circulation of $921,991,339. The increase in the per capita during this period was $7.06. Within this time there were several occasions when it was necessary for the treasury department to come to the relief of the money market by purchases or redemptions of United States bonds; by increasing deposits in national banks; by stimulating and issuing of national bank notes, and by faital money from abroad of gold. Our imperfct currency system has made these proceedings necessary, and they were effective until the monetary disturbance in the fall of 1907 immensely increased the difficulty of ordinary methods of relief. By the middle of November the available working balance in the treasury had been reduced to approximately $5,000,000. Clearing house associations throughout the country had been obliged to resort to the expedient of issuing clearing house certificates to be used as money. In this emergency it was determined that subscriptions for $50,000,000 Panama canal bonds, and $100,000,000 three per cent. certificates of indebtedness authorized by the act of June 13, 1908. It was proposed to redeposit in the national banks the proceeds of these issues, and to permit their use as a basis for additional circulating notes of national banks. The moral effect of this procedure was so great that it was necessary to issue only $24,631,980 of the Panama bonds and $15.5 indicators of indebtedness. During the period from July 1, 1901, to September 30, 1908, the net ordinary receipts and the net ordinary expenses of the government showed a surplus in the four years 1902, 1903, 1906, and 1907, and a deficit in the years 1904, 1905, 1908 and a fractional part of the fiscal year 1909. The net result was a surplus of $99,232,413.54. The financial operations of the government during this period, based upon these differences between receipts and expenditures, resulted in a surplus of $87,141,040 to $97,232,930, notwithstanding that there had been two sales of Panama canal bonds amounting in the aggregate to $44,631,980, and an issue of three per cent. certificates of indebtedness under the act of June 13, 1838, amounting to $15,495,500. Refunding operations of the treasury department under the act of March 14, 1908, resulted in the conversion of two hundred and forty-six thousand $200,340 bonds bearing higher rates of interest. A decrease of $687,956 in the annual interest charge resulted from these operations. In short, during the seven years and three months there has been a net surplus of nearly one hundred millions of receipts over expenditures, a reduction of the interest-bearing debt by ninety millions, in spite of the extraordinary expense of the Panama canal, and a saving of nearly nine millions on the annual interest charges. The message reiterates the well-known views of the president that the control of great corporations, especially the railroads of the country, should be vested in the national government. He says: "I believe that it is worse than folly to attempt to prohibit all combinations as is done by the Sherman antitrust law, because such a law can be enforced only imperfectly and unequally, and its enforcement works almost as much hardship as good. I strongly advocate that instead of an unwide effort to prohibit all combinations, the shall be substituted a law which shall excluse, permit, control which are in the interest of the employees but shall at the same time give to some agency in the national government full power of control and supervision over them. The railways of the country should be put completely under the interstate commerce commission and removed from the domain of the anti-trust law. The power of the commission should be made thoroughgoing so that the exercise complete supervision and control over the issue of securities as well as over the raising and lowering of rates. As regards rates, at least, this power should be summary. . . . Rates must be made as low as is compatible with giving proper rents to all the employees of the railroad, from the highest to the lowest, and proper returns to the shareholders, but, in such fashion as to increase, be reduced in such fashion as to increase, be a cut in the wages of the employees or the abolition of the proper and legitimate profits of honest shareholders. Interests of the Wageworker. Turning to conditions affecting the wageworker and the man of small means, the president says. Postal Savings banks will make it easy for the poorest to keep their savings in the bank. The regulation of the national highways must that they shall serve all people with equal justice. Corporate finances must be supervised so as to make it far safer than at present for the man of small means to invest his money in stocks. There must be prohibition of child labor in the women's labor, shortening of hours of all men and stock watering should be prohibited, and stock gambling so far as is possible discouraged. There should be a progressive inheritance tax on large fortunes. Industrial education should be encouraged. As far as possible we should lighten the burden of taxation on the man of small means who should longer be any paltering with the question of taking care of the wageworkers who, under our pres- ent industrial system, become killed, crippled, or worn out as part of the regular incidents of a given business. As far as concerns those who have been worn out, I call your steps toward providing old-age pensions have been taken in many of our private industries. These may be indefinitely extended through voluntary association and contributory schemes, or through the agency of ss.linns, as under the Massachusetts plan. Urgent Need of Reform. Our present system, or rather no system, works dreadful wrong, and is of benefit to only one class of people—the lawyers. When a workman is injured what he needs is not an expensive and doubtful lawsuit, but the certainty of relief through immediate administrative action. No academic theory about "freedom of contract" or "constitutional liberty to contract" should be permitted to interfere with this and similar movements. I renew my recommendation that the principle of the eight-hour day should as rapidly and as far as practicable be extended to the entire work being carried out by government; the present law should be amended; embrace contracts on those public works which the present wording of the act seems to exclude. Judges Too Poorly Paid. Coupled with a eulogy of the judiciary of the nation the president urges that, beginning with the supreme court, the judges should have their salaries doubled. As was to be expected, the attitude assumed by certain labor leaders during the recent election comes in for bitter criticism. The president asserts that demands made on congress for legislation were unjust and impractical and could but work harm to the cause of labor. While declaring that our judicial system is sound and effective at core the president says: There are certain decisions by various courts which have been exceedingly detrimental to the rights of wage-workers. This is true of all decisions that decide that men are, by the constitution, "guaranteed their liberty" to contract to enter a dangerous occupation, or to work an undesirable or improper number of hours, or to work in unhealthy surroundings; and therefore cannot recover damages when maimed in that occupation, and cannot be forbidden to work what the legislature decides is an excess number of hours, or to carry on the work under conditions which the legislature decides to be unhealthy. There is also, I think, ground for the belief that substantial injustice is often suffered by employees in consequence of the custom of courts issuing temporary injunctions without notice to them, and punishing them for contempt of court in instances where, as a matter of fact, they have no knowledge of any proceeding. Or ungrateful employees under the unjust restraint which comes from repeated resort to this plan of procedure. Injunction Must Remain. The power of injunction is a great equitable remedy, which should on no account be destroyed. But safeguards should be erected against its abuse. In substance, provision should be made that no injunction, or temporary, restraining order issue otherwise than on notice, except where irreparable injury should be incurred, and in such case a hearing on the matter and in such case should be had within a short fixed period, and, if not then continued after hearing, it should forthwith lapse. Decisions should be rendered immediately, and the chance of delay minimized in every way. Moreover, I believe that the procedure should be sharply defined, and the judge required minutely to state the particulars both of his action and of his assent, therefore, so that the congress can if it desires examine and investigate the same. Harm Worked by Law Discussing measures necessary for the proper control of giant corporations operating in defiance of law, the president says: Real damage has been done by the manifold and conflicting interpretations of the interstate commerce law. Control over the great corporations doing interstate business can be effective only if it is vested with full power in an administrative department, a branch of the federal executive, carrying out a federal law; it can never be effective if a divided responsibility is left in both hands. It is never ever be effective if left in the hands of the courts to be decided by lawsuits. The courts hold a place of peculiar and deserved sanctity under our form of government. Respect for the law is essential to the permanence of our institutions; and respect for the law is largely conditioned upon respect for the courts, because the courts are the place to say anything which can weaken this respect, save for the gravest reason and in the most carefully guarded manner. In no other nation in the world do the courts wield such vast and far-reaching power as In the United States. All that is necissarable to the court as a whole should exercise this power, and the sighted wisdom already shown by those judges who scan the future while they act in the present. Forest Preservation. The manifest necessity for forest preservation is pointed out as a duty the present generation owes to its descendants, and the president cites the case of China, where reckless de-forestation has resulted in creating deserts, as an object lesson. Inland Waterways. Immediate action by the present session of congress for the improvement of our inland waterways the president declares to be imperative. He recommends the creation of a permanent commission authorized to coordinate the work of all the government departments relating to waterways, and to frame and supervise the execution of a comprehensive plan. Postal Savings Banks. Urging the immediate institution of postal savings banks, the message says: I again renew my recommendation for postal savings banks, for depositing savings with the security of the government behind them. The object is to encourage thrift and economy in the age-gearer and person of moderate means. It is believed that in the aggregate vast sums of money would be brought into circulation through the instrumentality of the postal savings banks. Parctl Post The much-discussed advisability of the establishment of a parcel post service is thus dealt with: In my last annual message I commended the postmaster-general's recommendation for an extension of the parcel post to the rural routes. The establishment of the local parcel post on rural routes would be to the mutual benefit of the farmer and the country storekeeper, and it is desirable that the routes, serving more than 15,000,000 people, should be utilized to the fullest practicable extent. Education. Dealing with the important subject of education, the president says: With the limited means hitherto provided, the bureau of education has rendered efficient service, but the congress has neglected to adequately supply the bureau with means to meet the educational growth of the country. I earnestly recommend that this unfortunate state of affairs as regards the national educational office be remedied by adequate appropriations. This recommendation is urged by the representatives of common schools and great state universities, the leading educators, who all unite in requesting favorable consideration and action by the congress upon this subject. The president points out the necessity of better organization of the various bureaus responsible for the public health, and urges the placing of all soldiers' homes under the jurisdiction of the war department. Statehood. On the question of statehood the president says: I advocate the immediate admission of New Mexico and Arizona as states. This should be done at the present session of the congress. The people of the two territories have made it evident by their votes that they will not come in as one state. The alternative is to admit them as two and I trust that this will be done without delay. Interstate Fisheries. An international agreement concerning interstate fisheries is at present being attempted, and in this connection the message continues: I call the attention of the congress to the importance of the problem of the fisheries in the interstate waters. On the Great Lakes we are now, under the very wise treaty of April 11 of this year, endeavoring to come to an international agreement for the preservation and satisfactory use of the fisheries of these waters which can not otherwise be achieved. The richest fresh water fisheries in the world, is now controlled by the statutes of two nations, four states, and one province, and this province by two different ordinances in different counties. All these political divisions work at cross purposes, and in no case can they achieve protection to the fisheries, on the one hand, and localities and individuals on the other. Country's Foreign Policy. This nation's foreign policy is based on the theory that right must be done between nations precisely as between individuals, and in our actions for the last ten years we have in this matter proven our faith by our deeds. We have behaved, and are behaving, towards other nations, as in private life an honorable man would behave towards his fellows. I take this opportunity publicly to state my appreciation of the way in which in Japan, in Australia, in New Zealand, and in all the states of South America, the battle fleet has been received on its practice voyage around the world. In this government can not too strongly express its appreciation of the abounding and generous hospitality shown our ships in every port they visited. Our Southern Neighbors. The commercial and material progress of the 20 Latin-American republics is worthy of the careful attention of the congress. The International Bureau of the American Republics is doing a useful work in making these nations and their resources better known to us and to the world, and with us as a people and with our purposes towards them, but with what we have to exchange for their goods. Panama Canal Being Rushed The work on the Panama canal is being done with a speed, efficiency and entire devotion to duty, which make it a model for all work of the kind. The men on the Isthmus, from Col. Goethals and his fellow commissioners through the Panama Canal, are faithfully doing their duty, have their right to the ungrudging respect and gratitude of the American people. For Ocean Mail Lines. I again recommend the extension of the ocean mail act of 1891 so that satisfactory American ocean mail lines to South America, Asia, the Philippines, and Australia may be established. Should Decline Hawaii I call particular attention to the Territory of Hawaii. The importance of those islands is apparent, and the need of improving their condition and developing their resources is urgent. Progress in the Philippines. Real progress toward self-government is being made in the Philippine islands. I trust that within a generation the time will arrive when the Filipinos can decide for themselves whether it is well for them to become independent, or to continue under the protection of a strong and disinterested power, able to guarantee to the islands order at home and protection from foreign invasion. Good Work Done in Cuba. In Cuba our occupancy will cease in about one minute of time. The Cubans have in order managed to secure the own governmental authorities, and the island will be turned over to them. Our occupation on this occasion has lasted a little over two years, and Cuba has thriven and prospered under it. Our earnest hope and one desire is that the people of the island shall now govern themselves with justice, so that peace and order may be secure. The National Guard. Urging continued efforts to increase the efficiency of the National Guard the president continues: Now that the organized militia, the National Guard, has been incorporated with the army as a part of the national forces, it behooves the government to do every reasonable thing in its power to perfect its efficiency. It should be assisted in its instruction and other work and more liberally than heretofore. The current officers will be many well-trained regular officers, will be essential in this connection. bill is now pending before the congress creating a number of extra officers in the army, which if passed, as it ought to be, will enable more officers to be trained as instructors of National Guard and assigned to that duty. In case of war it will be of the utmost importance to have a large number of trained officers to use for turning raw levies into good troops. For More War Vessels. The navy is the last subject dealt with. In that connection the president says: I approve the recommendations of the general board for the increase of the navy, calling especial attention to the need of additional destroyers for pilots, and above all of the four battleships. It is desirable to complete as soon as possible a squadron of eight battleships of the best existing type. I most earnestly recommend that the general board be by law turned into a general naval unit. The general, no excuse whatever for continuation, must bureau organization of the navy. The navy should be treated as a purely military organization, and everything should be subordinated to the one object of securing military efficiency. A system or by by exclusion, or by both processes, should be introduced. Annual Entertainment East Turner Hall Monday Evening, Dec. 28, 1908 THE BIG DOINGS OF THE SEASON.
