LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY THE YEAR'S REVIEW What the Past Year has Revealed in the Advancement of the Negro's Condition. Marvelous Strides in Many Spheres in the Uplift of the Race. VOL. XV, THE YE What the Past Year has Revealed Condition. Marvelous -S the Uplift The New York Age of last week had the following review of the Negro and his progress: In no one of the forty-five years of its free history perhaps, has the Negro race made such happy and substantial strides forward as in the year just closing. Looking calmly and honestly at the position of the citizens of color in this republic after the lapse of the last year who can doubt this? What Negro is there with soul so dead realizing his better position, as not to be inspired to harder labor and greater progress for the future? This, we believe, is the meaning of the old year and the new for the Negro. Untoward incidents neither few nor insignificant, but emphasized as always and everywhere, have come. But closer review will reveal them matched by events both favorable and encouraging. The Berea College case gave the sanction of law to Kentucky's separation of her black and white students. But this illwind has blown a new Berea costing a half million dollars to the Negroes of Kentucky. Michigan by a decision, the exact reverse of that in the Berea case may not refuse to colored students admission to her educational institutions. The Negro soldiers at Brownville came in for much criticism and political discussion. But the Negro soldiers in the Philippines and the Negro cavalry at West Point have won warm praise: While by recent executive order four Negroes with commissioned officers' rank and pay will henceforth lead the four bands of the famous Negro regiments, Fierce and bitter mob law has laid its cursed hand upon Negroes in various sections of this country during the past twelve months. That same mob law reaching higher up has struck down leading white citizens, has destroyed and stifled industry and thereby has brought about a deep and widespread movement for the extinction of mob law. More than all that, the Negro has made achievements and has received recognition, which a generation or a decade ago were impossible are now so common as to receive but fleeting notice. In the last few days a Negro editor has been appointed State Librarian of West Virginia. A Negro heads the naturalization bureau at Boston and a Negro was appointed Assistant District Attorney for the government at Chicago. Baltimore, forty years ago mobbing a Union regiment on its way to the front, in August illuminated a section of the city and erected a court of honor to greet the National Negro Business League. Politically, the Negro has triumphantly passed through a crisis. The election of Taft gave a great and needed boon to the cause of equal rights. It has rendered silence and impotent the Negro's enemies in the nation. The cancerous "lily white" Republican party in the South sustained and possible only through Federal patronage, has received a death blow in the ultimatum of President-elect Taft at the dinner of the North Carolina Society of New York. During the year the avowed opponents of Negro progress in several States, wishing to climate and circumscribe the race's rights, as Vardaman in Mississippi wishing to repeal the Fifteenth Amendment, Cowhead in Missouri wishing to "jim crow" Negroes and the Democratic party in West Virginia wishing to disfranchise Negroes, were turned down. Industrially during the year the Negro has gained in wealth, business and property everywhere. Thousands and thousands of Negroes according to our observation, own homes in this country to day who did not own them a year ago today. At least a half dozen new Negro banks one in the North at Chicago, business enterprises including realty companies, innumerable fraternal temples as in New Orleans and Jacksonville, a large increase in government employees, the extension of the "buy-land" movement in the South, all proclaim a progress and a beginning of co operation among Negroes as general as it is gratifying. Socially and educationally, the past year has meant the same advance. The abominable "jim crow" car conditions of the South DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JANUARY 9, 1909. are being remedied, thanks to the enforcement of the equal accommodations ruling by the Interstate Commerce Commission and the manly stand of the Negroes in Georgia. Arkansas and Oklahoma. A campaign against the disease playing havoc with the Negro, consumption, has been inaugurated by the National Negro Anti Tuberculosis Congress holding its session at Tuskegee this month. Thousands of college and high school graduates during this year have taken their place in the ranks to live down by their success their neighbor's prejudice and the race problem. The demand for an education is being supplied more largely today than ever before. A wise philanthropy is increasing its generous aid of Negro education. As a fitting climax to the progress of Negro education, Judge Taft continues a member of the Jeannes Fund Committee with its fund of more than a million dollars for rural Southern Negro Education, while the next meeting of the committee will be held in the White House. The New Year means this new opportunity, this increased opportunity for the Negro. We want every Negro to make and work to this one resolution: to be further advanced one year from today than he is today. This is the meaning of the New Year to the Negro. COLOR LINE DRAWN IN TRAINING HOSPITALS FOR COLORED GIRLS The course of 1908 has developed into the Negro race through many of the Negro doctors in the United States When we pause to think that we hold prejudice amongst ourselves and then wander why the whites are prejudiced we come to the conclusion that the white man has more reasons to be prejudiced than Negro against a Negro In six letters it has been brought to our notice that a woman of dark complexion is not permitted to enter a training hospital as our doctors refuse to have them handling their instruments and wait on them. If this damnable state of affairs exists among us and be permitted to continue, truly the condition of the race is pitiful. Names of doctors have been furnished us by several of these ladies, but we hope that a hint to the wise will be sufficient to promote a more harmonious feeling. Let ability count instead of looks, and profit be experience.—Chicago Defender. MOTHER OF CHAMPION. Galveston, Texas., December 26. Mrs. Tinney Johnson, the widowed mother of Jack Johnson, who won the heavy-weight championship over Tommy Burns, says she made a fighter out of the boy, who is one of the three sons out of nine children, but she had no idea of making a pugilist out of him. "Jack was a slim-built youngster till he was about 15 or 16 years of age; he is now 31." she said, "and he was a regular baby and always getting into trouble at school and with playmates, and always got the worst of it. His sister had to fight all his battles, and she was always growing tired of this. One day when he was about 14 years of age a small boy whipped him and he came home crying. I gave him another spanking and told him he would have to learn to fight his own battles, and every time he got licked I would give him another licking when he came home. He was never whipped after that, and he licked every boy, big or little, that tackled him." Johnson bought a home for his mother in Galveston and own property over the state, and is investing his earnings. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES It is stated that the Negro people have 30,000 teachers, 16,000 preachers, 1,700 physicians, 1,000 lawyers, 400 journalists and literary men. The state of Tennessee has granted a charter to the Pythian Bank and Trust Company, of Shelby County. The capital stock is $25,000 and the headquarters will be in Memphis. Miss Eva Ross of Washington, D.C., has opened a drug store in that city; is thoroughly complete and up to date in every appointment. Miss Ross was formerly a Kindergarten teacher, but gave up the work to enter this business. The Nickel Savings Bank, located at Richmond, Virginia, made a statement of its financial condition at the close of business, November 27. 1908, to the State Corporation Commission, showing its total resources to be $29,954 55 R. F Tanoil is the president. Elbert Williams, chief musician of the regimental band of the 25th Infantry, United States Army, is the composer of the well known Y M C. A. hymn entitled "Let Not Your Heart be Troubled." Mr. Williams was formerly head of the noted military band at Tuskegee Institute. W. H Huff, of Athens. Ga., has placed on the market a "talking" piece of music entitled "Cheer Up Booker Washington," and it is being played and sung in many homes in Southland. We cannot get too much of melodies and sentiments that help us to cheer up the men who are leading in the work of racial uplift. Sarah-Cole, who died recently at 1518 Turner street, northeast, Washington, D. C., at the age of 101 years, was a sister of Joseph Boston, one of the first Presidents of the Republic of Liberia. She was born and lived the first half century of her life in Anne Arundel county, Md., and moved to Washington in 1861, living in the District ever since. Architect W. Sidney Pittman has been paid $2,000 as his fee for drawing the plans for the $95,000 public school building at Garfield. The structure is to contain twelve rooms and is to be one of the finest in the District of Columbia. The award is another feather in the cap of Mr. Pittman, who won out in a solid field of Caucasian draftsmen. Edwin C. Eckel, of Washington, D. C., speaking on "The Iron Industry of the South" before the Consevation Commission, on December 8. said that "In spite of the racial defects inherent in his undeveloped character, the Negro makes the best laboring material the South can get in mines and furnaces." It is the belabored Southern praise of the Negro: With all his faults I love him still. Muskogee, Okla., Dec. 10. Three wealthy Negroes were arrested here to-day for violation for the Jim Crow street law. Their arrest was followed by a mass meeting of colored citizens, who declared they will carry the case to the Supreme Court of the United States, if necessary, to prove the law as applied to street cars is unconstitutional. The traction company here ordered the arrests. Harvey Groves, of Manitou Colorado, is known "as one of the largest and most successful live stock dealers in that section," while his brother, Spencer Groves, is called "one of the best freight and emergency firemen on the Midland Railroad." We would remind these gentlemen of their cousin across the line in Kansas, the Black White Potato King, another of the Groves of prosperity. The story of J. H. Blodgett, a prominent member of the National Negro Business League from Jacksonville, who in a dozen years has risen from a steamboat stowaway to a real estate magnate, owning 155 houses in his home city, and a daily rental of $4500, transacting his business by way of a $2,500 motor car, reads like a ro- NO.16 mance. And still they say the days of romance and gold mines are past. When the Odd Fellows' Lodge of Millsap, Texas, recently picked the entire crop of a brother named Condill, owing to illness of his wife and her inability to help him, it was said that the back-breaking business had been transferred from the lodge room to the cotton field. It is far more interesting to us to note how the fraternal societies are changing methods for the better in giving the distressed brother a boost. Hearing with enthusiasm of the rapid progress of the Negroes of Washington in acquiring a $100,000 home, the enterprising colored men of Cleveland are determined to have a structure worthy of the importance and uplifting influence of the buding organization in their town. As Commissioner McFarland well said: "The efforts of the colored men in Washington do not stop with the capital; they serve as a stimulus toward similar achievements in every section of the land"—and they certainly do. Let the good work go on! Someboby said that we are a pitiful helpless race here in America, where we belong, unused it seems, to arts of peace, and only made breastworks in the war. Without guns, without ammunition laughing, grining, enjoying ourselves (the only race that plays that game), living over a volcano. Thoughtless of the future, but only of a dead future. Working like slaves, spending with those who would kill us, and condeming each other when we should strive to build up. But we must not lose heart. Some day the Negro will stand erect on all the sober problems of civilization; it will be when he can speak. NEGRO BOXERS MORE SKILLFUL THAN WHITES NEGRO BOXERS MORE SKILLFUL THAN WHITES Speaking of the superiority of Negro boxers the Rocky Mountain News says in part: The fact of Jack Johnson defeating Tommy Burns for the heavyweight championship and being the first black man to ever win that honor or even have a chance to compete for it, has directed great attention for the present to the colored pugilists. Every student of boxing must have noticed that the leading Negro fighters are more skillful as boxers then the leading fighters of the white race, and it may need considerable investigation to explain just why this is the case. Now it would be, interesting to discover just why the colored boxers should lead at the point which requires brainwork and study, as well as constant thought and practice. One man who has seen all the leading boxers and fighters of the present and past generation is satisfied in his mind that the reason for the black man's superiority in boxing can be found in the singleness of purpose. MRS. JOSEPH HALL CHASE, 804 TENTH ST. WASHINGTON, D.C. Peruna Drug Co., Columbus, Ohio. Gentlemen: I can cheerfully recommend Peruna as an effective cure for coughs and colds. You are authorized to use my photo with testimonial in any publication. Mrs. Joseph Hall Chase. 804 Tenth St., Washington, D. C. : Could Not Smell Nor Hear. Mrs. A. L. Wetzel, 1023 Ohio St., Terre Haute, Ind., writes: "When I began to take your medicine I could not smell, nor hear a church bell ring. Now I can both smell and hear. "When I began your treatment my head was terrible. I had buzzing and chirping noises in my head. "I followed your advice faithfully and took Peruna as you told me. Now I might say I am well. "I want to go and visit my mother and see the doctor who said I was not long for this world. I will tell him it was Peruna that cured me." Peruna is manufactured by The Peruna Drug Mfg.

WHY WELLS WAS WRATHY. All Things Considered, He Had Some Excuse for Anger. Charles E. Wells, who has been called the groundhog senator of West Virginia, because he once introduced a bill advocating the changing of groundhog day from February 2 to July 4, was staying over night at the Grand hotel of a budding West Virginia village not long ago. He was awakened in the morning by heavy pounding on his door, and the voice of the old man night clerk saying "Five o'clock! Better get up or you'll miss your train." Mr. Wells didn't intend to catch a morning train and hadn't given any instructions that he should be called at the unearthly hour of five o'clock, so he paid no attention to the old man's early morning greeting and was asleep again almost immediately. In about 15 minutes he was again awakened by the pounding on his door and heard the voice of the old man saying apologetically: "Don't get up. I rapped on the wrong door."—Lippincott. Royalty on Exhibition In the eighteenth century the Londoner could look at royalty on Sunday for a modest fee. In a guide to London, published in 1767, it was said: "At St. James' chapel royal by knocking at the side door and slipping a shilling for each person into the hand of the verger who opens it, you may have admittance and stand during divine service in presence of their majesties; and for one shilling each person more, you may sit in their royal presence, not in pews, but in turn-up seats on the side of them." THEN AND NOW Complete Recovery from Coffee Ills. "About nine years ago my daughter, from coffee drinking, was on the verge of nervous prostration," writes a Louisville lady. "She was confined for the most part to her home. "When she attempted a trip down town she was often brought home in a cab and would be prostrated for days afterwards. "On the advice of her physician she gave up coffee and tea, drank Postum, and ate Grape-Nuts for breakfast. "She liked Postum from the very beginning and we soon saw improvement. To-day she is in perfect health, the mother of five children, all of whom are fond of Postum. "She has recovered, is a member of three charity organizations and a club, holding an office in each. We give Postum and Grape-Nuts the credit for her recovery." "There's a Reason." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read, "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. Ever read the above letter?

Without exception these issues show substantial gains in price over the original offering price to the public. Severe earthquake shocks have occurred in Zermatt, one of the most famous and frequented resorts of Switzerland, and St. Nicholas. The production of the United States Steel corporation in the current year will average about 55 per cent. of normal. This means an output of about 6,000,000 tons for the year.

Tommy's Blunder "Tommy, you should have known better than to fight with that Williams boy." Tommy—"I know, ma'am, but I thought I could lick him."—Chicago News. It Happened in Church. A Southern clergyman tells the following amusing story: After the morning sermon one Sunday he had read the notices for the week, and then announced the closing hymn—Number so-and-so. At that moment one of the deacons came down the aisle, and the minister paused to hear what he had to say, which was that the pastor had forgotten to give notice of a meeting of the ladies of the congregation. Accordingly the divine gave the notice, apologizing to the congregation for his forgetfulness, and then again announced the number of the hymn, and proceeded to read it. His feelings and those of the congregation may be imagine when he began: "Lord, what a thoughtless wretch was I!"—Lippincott's. A Pleasant Prospect. A Philadelphia woman, whose given name is Mary, as is also the name of her daughter, had recently engaged a domestic, when, to her embarrassment, she discovered that the servant's name too, was Mary. Whereupon there ensued a struggle to induce the applicant to relinquish her idea that she must be addressed by her Christian name. For some time she was rigidly uncompromising. "Under the circumstances," said the lady of the house, "there is nothing to do but to follow the English custom and call you by your last name. By the way, what is it?" "Well, mum," answered the girl, dubiously, "it's Darling."—Harper's. The Domestic Password "You are not going to stay in town late tonight, are you, John?" "Not very late, dearest.

(Kindly, but firmly) "If you can repeat the password, 'Six slim slick sapplings', distinctly when you come home from the lodge, John, the servant will admit you; and if you can't you needn't ring. You'll stay outside all night, my dear." John came home early.—Illustrated Bits. Teacher's Qualifications. One morning, a few weeks ago, as a South Jersey country physician was driving through a village, he saw a man, slightly under the influence of liquor, amusing a crowd of spectators with the antics of his trick dog. The doctor pulled up and watched the fun a while and then said: "My dear man, how do you manage to train your dog that way? I can't teach mine a single trick." The man addressed looked up, and with that simple rustic look replied: "Well, you see, it's this way: You have to know more'n the dog or you can't learn him nothin'."—Philadelphia Ledger. Didn't Want the Job. During a recent examination for applicants for the position of mail carrier, a colored boy appeared before the civil service commission. "How far is it from this earth to the moon?" was the first question asked him. "How fah am it from de earf to de moon?" he repeated, as he began to reach for his hat. "Say boss, if you'se gwine to put me on dat route, I doesn't want de job;" and with that he left as though he were escaping from some calamity.—Circle Magazine. Boy's Tool Chests. Mama—"Where is that pretty tool-chest your aunt gave you Christmas?" Small Son—"In the closet; but the tools is all broke." Mama—"Mercy me! You naughty boy. You must have been trying to use them."—New York Weekly. Fortune is said to knock once at every man's door, but it's difficult to make some men believe it. Wriggling Out of It. "Am I always first in your thoughts, dear?" she asked, sentimentally. "No—second," he answered, rather absently. "Why, Jack," she demurred, "how can you be so heartless!" "Maud," said Jack, after a moment's thought, "I mean that I think of you every second—and er—you—know—second thoughts are best!"—Young's Magazine. Habit s a stubborn thing when possessed by a stubborn person. He Was Generous. Master Walter, aged five, had eaten the soft portions of his toast at breakfast and piled the crusts on his plate. "When I was a little boy," remarked his father, "I always ate the crusts of my toast." "Did you like them?" asked the little fellow, cheerfully. "Yes," replied the parent. "You may have these," replied Master Walter, pushing his plate across the table.—The Delineator. Your bottom dollar is always a sound financial basis. Droll Definitions. Many children are so crammed with knowledge that they frequently get it inextricably mixed. In proof of this, read these veritable specimens of definitions, written by public-school children: Stability is taking care of a stable. A mosquito is the child of black and white parents. Monastery is the place for monsters. Cannibal is two brothers who kill each other in the Bible. Anatomy is the human body, which consists of three parts: the head, the chest, and the stummick. The head contains the eyes and brains, if any. The chest contains the lungs and a piece of the liver. The stummick is devoted to the bowels, of which there are five, a, e, l, o, u, and sometimes w and y.—New York Weekly. Accounted For. "Mamma," said little Elsie, "do men ever go to heaven?" "Why, of course, my dear. What makes you ask?" "Because I never see any pictures of angels with whiskers." "Well," said the mother, thoughtfully, "some men do go to heaven, but they get there by a close shave."—Judge's Library.

Naval Academy Examinations. Denver.-Preliminary examinations for admittance to the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, will be held at the Manual Training High School building in Denver at 9:00 o'clock in the morning of January 15th. From those who pass, two will be selected for the Colorado representation and three alternates will be selected for each appointment. Boys between sixteen and twenty years of age are eligible and the examinations will be along all elementary branches of education. Those selected will have to take the regular examinations of the academy next April under the civil service authorities in Denver. Dr. James H. Baker of Boulder University is in charge of the preliminary examinations. Potato Yield and Selling Prices Statistics for the last ten years show the following as to yield and selling price of the potato crop in the Greeley district: | | Carloads. | Cwt. | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 1898 | 4,500 | $0.70 | | 1899 | 5,000 | .65 | | 1900 | 4,200 | .75 | | 1901 | 6,200 | 1.20 | | 1902 | 4,500 | .60 | | 1903 | 11,000 | .90 | | 1904 | 12,000 | .32 | | 1905 | 10,000 | .70 | | 1906 | 10,000 | .75 | | 1907 | 8,000 | .75 | Commercial Organizations. There are in Colorado more than 100 local organizations in as many different towns under the names of chamber of commerce, commercial club, commercial association or business men's association, writes J. C. Craig, secretary of the State Commercial Association. No municipality in Colorado of sufficient size or population whose citizens are actuated by a desire for public improvement or material advancement through unity of discussion and action is without its recognized chamber of commerce on commercial club. Water and Electric Power. The greatest power development work being carried on in the country at this time, says the Denver News, is being pushed forward in Colorado by a number of companies that have for their ultimate purpose the furnishing of commercial electric power for every possible manufacturing and power-consuming enterprise that may locate in the state. Nearly 200,000 horse power units will be the output of the companies now building when their construction work is completed. Ranchmen Moving Herds. Denver.—A Fort Morgan dispatch December 30th says: Mike Donalin, who has a ranch twenty-five miles southeast of here, started yesterday with 500 head of cattle for here, so as to get feed for them, his entire crop of hay having been fed in the last few weeks. While on the way twenty-five of the cattle gave out and were left along the trail. For the protection of those he sent out two loads of hay, costing him $8 a ton for the hauling, besides $14 for the hay. This is only one instance of many where the cattle are being moved to where they can get more feed. Williams & Waite will ship about 500 head to western Nebraska to feed the rest of the season. Prosperity of Colorado. In the year just ended, writes Governor-Elect John F. Shafroth in the Denver News, the reports gleaned from various sources show that Colorado mines, factories, farms, orchards and stock ranges produced more than $400,000,000. On a basis of 750,000 population for the state that means a per capita production of $550, or nearly as much as the earnings of the average head of family in the United States, without taking into consideration the earnings of jobbing or importing industries. Cement Plaster and Stone. The Denver Republican estimates the production of the above named articles in Colorado as follows: Cement output in Colorado for 1908, 900,000 barrels. Plaster output in Colorado for 1908, 50,000 tons. Value of building stone quarried in Colorado, $3,000,000. The annual output and sale of building stone of all kinds from Colorado quarries is estimated roundly at a valuation of $3,000,000. Colorado's Population. The Denver Republican makes the following estimate of the present population of Denver and Colorado: Denver. Colorado. 1860 ..... 4,749 1870 ..... 4,759 1880 ..... 35,629 1890 ..... 106,713 1900 ..... 433,850 1905 ..... 176,434 1909 ..... 225,000 Dairy products increased twenty-five per cent. over those of last year. SIXTEENTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY BEGINS ITS SESSION IN LUBERS MADE SPEAKER W. H. ADAMS ELECTED PRESIDENT PRO TEM. OF THE SENATE. Denver.—Promptly at 12 o'clock, noon, Wednesday, W. C. Blair, chief clerk of the House of the Sixteenth General Assembly, rapped on the speaker's desk, to call to order the house of the Seventeenth General Assembly. Mr. Garman of Denver named M. D. Bowen, who was to be the regular clerk, for temporary clerk, and he was selected. Mr. Walker named Elbert Greenman of Boulder county for temporary speaker, and no one else wishing any honors in connection with the brief honor, it was accorded to the nominee without division. "For this signal, if momentary, honor, I thank you," said Mr. Greenman. "During the last campaign one of the slogans was, 'Shall the people rule?' We shall demonstrate that in the next ninety days, of which this morning augurs well. I await your pleasure." Rev. A. H. Fish, assistant pastor of the Central Presbyterian church, delivered a short and touching prayer of hope for the business of the session. Messrs. Garman of Denver, Lehrrriter of Gunnison, Wilder of Conejos, Doyle of El Paso and Walbridge of Rio Blanco were named a committee on credentials. They reported the list presented by T. E. O'Connor, secretary of state. Justice Campbell of the Supreme Court administered the oath to all the members they rising at their seats. Mr. Foley of Denver then named Harry L. Lubers of Bent county for speaker, the nomination being seconded by Mr. McCaskill. Mr. Teller of Weld named Amos N. Parrish of Las Animas, this nomination being seconded by Mr. Hayden of Costilla. The vote was strictly by parties, save that neither of the candidates voted. Mr. Lubers received fifty-two votes and Mr. Parrish eleven. Messrs. Strickland, Hicks and Parrish were named the committee to escort the speaker to his chair, from which place he was introduced to the House by Mr. Breenman as his last act of that period of extremely brief authority. Judge Campbell administered the oath. Mr. Lubers began his brief remarks by thanking the gentlemen for the honor conferred upon, and appealed to all members to aid him in conducting the business of the House. It was exactly noon when Lieut. Gov. E. R. Harper rapped for order in the Senate chamber, and the Seventeenth General Assembly was in session. L. B. Straight, clerk of the Sixteenth General Assembly, occupied the clerk's desk, while Harry Ruffner, clerk in the sheriff's office, and Mrs. Williams, secretary of the State Board of Pardons, acted as his assistants. Lieutenant Governor Harper introduced the Rev. Jacob A. Rader of Denver who offered prayer. Upon the reading of a communication from the secretary of state, certifying the election of those members who were elected last fall, Lieutenant Governor Harper appointed a committee on credentials to examine the communication, upon motion of Sen. John J. Tobin of Montrose. The committee, which consisted of Senators Tobin, R. J. Bardwell of Denver and Dan S. Jones of Saguache, reported the communication back with its approval and it was adopted by the full body. Chief Justice Robert W. Steele and Justice W. H. Gabbert, in judicial robes, were escorted into the chamber ceremoniously and took places on either side of the president. The new members were called forward, and while the Senate stood in ceremony, the oath of office was administered. Sen. J. S. Irby was chosen to place in nomination Senator William H. Adams of Conejos for president pro tem. Then Sen. James C. Burger, on behalf of the minority, nominated Sen. John B. Stephen of El Paso for the honorary Republican nominee. The vote stood divided, just as the Senate is divided between the two parties, Senator Adams twenty, Senator Stephen fifteen. Senator Adams was then sworn in by Chief Justice Steele. Sen. Franklin E. Carringer, chairman of the apportionment of patronage committee, offered the list of senatorial appointments approved by the committee and the motion to confirm was adopted unanimously. Word was received from the governor'; office that his message would not be ready for delivery until Friday. Sale of State Lands. Denver.—Farmers and land buyer crowded the State land office to the doors Wednesday at the sale of state lands held, by Registrar John F. Vivian, and approximately 10,000 acres were purchased, bringing the state about $175,000. The average price for farm lands was $17.50 per acre. One tract of 320 acres of improved land in Saguache county was sold for $40 an acre. There was brisk competition among the buyers, and land appraised at $12.50 by the state was frequently run up to $25 and sold.

THE GOVERNOR OF MINNESOTA was the proudest owner of the name of Johnson a few days ago, but now he is a has been. Our own John Johnson, nicknamed Jack, now dazzles the world beyond the possibly of any mere political representative of that historoe scandinavian family. The champion heavy weight pugilist of the world brooks no comparison with a disappointed candidate for the presidency. Through America, through England and to far off Australia he chased the white claimant of the title, and now the honor of having met Jack Johnson is all that is left to pugilist Tommy Burns. Johnson is the first Negro heavy weight champion, and the glory of it is giving all white America the jaundice. ANOTHER YEAR. ear has gone; another year is on maps, the world and the affairs of by the seasons or other division off and review the achievement of annual periods. Society and his special parts, experience life in exquisite units live, and they grow, in细心 work, thrive, sieken and die. Thevider measurement of the expanse young. Humanity has chronicled, yet it is possible that another kind of which we form a part, is wild. All that we know or need caring, growing, increasing, struggling and all the virility of youth's symptoms of age were discernible to be observed in the Aryan of human struggle through the fact that race is yet virile and full, lives, upon whom, in some future shift, they seem to be in their hard and weak, they give undeniable indestructible seed of development unalterably planted. Among one more hopefully than to the last dormant, his is yet the most moral capacity among the growing enlightenment, the emanation to look to see the light of a new year, breaking above the hefty infant humanity feeds, and the mediate view of the years that areance of the struggle, the anguish over year is dawning, freighted with and striving, but lighted with plants in the breasts of infants, men. ANOTHER year has gone; another year is on the way. In their general aspect, perhaps, the world and the affairs of men are not controlled or affected by the seasons or other divisions of time; but we are prone to mark off and review the achievements of humanity, in whole or in part, in annual periods. Society and humanity in general, as well as in its racial parts, experience life in exactly the same way as their individual units live, and they grow, increase in power and strength, struggle, work, thrive, sicken and die. The world is old in years, but in the wider measurement of the expanse of the universe, the world may be young. Humanity has chronicled its history through five thousand years, yet it is possible that another humanity than that which we know and of which we form a part, is wrapped in the voiceless dust of the ages. All that we know or need care about at present, is that we are living, growing, increasing, struggling, working and not dying. We are young and all the virility of youth is coursing through our being. If the symptoms of age were discernable in any part of humanity, they would be observed in the Aryan race, on whom has fallen the brunt of human struggle through the world's last three thousand years, but that race is yet virile and full of hope and might. As to the other races, upon whom, in some future day, the burdens of the world might shift, they seem to be in their infancy, and though now counted backward and weak, they give undeniable evidence of the possession of that indestructible seed of development upon which the world of nature is unalterably planted. Among these the finger of wisdom points to none more hopefully than to the Negro. Simple, innocent, weak, almost dormant, his is yet the most wonderful undeveloped physical and moral capacity among the groping races, and the heralds of his coming enlightenment, the emancipated Negroes of America, have but to look to see the light of a new world's day, the first of a world's new year, breaking above the horizon. Hope is the milk upon which infant humanity feeds, and the Negro's supply is limitless. Our immediate view of the years that are past fills our minds with the remembrance of the struggle, the anguish and the pain of birthing, but another year is dawning, freighted with labor and scoring and scourging and striving, but lighted with the hope and the faith which heaven plants in the breasts of infants who are destined to become full grown men. NEGRO SCHOOL SYSTEM. KEY MILLER, of Howard University a systematic arrangement and classes for the Negro which are p public schools, and especially of the denominational character, orious or other organized bodies. Negro education he says that did not longer go unheeded. The bodies is chief among these. PROF. KELLEY MILLER, of Howard University, Washington, D. C., is advocating a systematic arrangement and adjustment of those educational facilities for the Negro which are provided outside of the domain of the public schools, and especially of those schools, colleges and universities of a denominational character, or which derive their support from religious or other organized bodies. In reviewing forty years experience in Negro education he says that certain clear lessons as to method should not longer go unheeded. The "oversight" of education by religious bodies is chief among these. By this he appears to mean that such bodies tend to subornate education to the extension of denominational influence, and that this gives the Negro youth a false notion of what education really means. As a result, denominational institutions are becoming a diminishing factor in our educational equation. Then he asserts that there have been founded more colleges and universities that can be adequately maintained, and that the high-sounding pretensions of an institution above the level of its grade and facilities tends to discredit the whole scheme of Negro education in the minds of serious and sensible men. Prof. Miller suggests the calling of a conference of representatives of the various religious organizations and other agencies, to advise upon some comprehensive plan of co-ordination. The number of colleges might be reduced to five or six, distributed with reference to the needs of the population, and of providing faculties and facilities that would enable them to live up to the name assumed. In other words, the educational grade of the average Negro school needs to be raised and made actually educational even though denominational. The proper distribution of industrial schools might also claim the attention of this conference. It must be admitted that there are an unnecessary number of these special educational institutions scattered about the country whose functions are wholly covered by the improved facilities of the public schools, and whose maintenance therefore is a waste. Sometimes such schools are founded by persons whose personal ambitions are held paramount to the public need and the name of the institution is used for individual advancement. Philanthropy is betrayed and the race harmed by these conditions. An adequate number of industrial schools, necessarily located in the South, four or five strong, well-equipped denominational schools, together with the greater colleges and universities which philanthropy has demonstrated to be practicable, and whose curriculums compare well with other recognized institutions, ought to provide a more efficient complement to the public schools than the present numerous, ungradable array of special institutions. American Manufacturers Guilty of Short Sightedness By GUSTAV H. SCHWAB, President National Council of Commerce. HE time has gone by when the manufacturers of this country can afford to regard the matter of export to foreign countries as an expedient emergency, in times when home trade is dull. The manufacturers have begun to realize that though they may get into foreign markets with their astute business methods and their up-to-date goods, that is not all they have to do. They have to take very good care to retain those markets and to see that they are not allowed to go into other hands, as has been too often the case. It has too often been the habit of the manufacturer here to send out his goods and seize hold of foreign fields as emergency dumping grounds, letting the trade slide again so soon as home trade pulled up. While home trade remained good he did not bother about exporting, but times became slack again; there came another slump, such as that we have just been through, and the manufacturer cast his eyes over the seas again. But he finds what he must have known was inevitable if he had only stopped to think, namely, that the field he had formerly secured and let go has since gone into the hands of the Britisher or the German, and once you let a foreign market go it is not picked up again in a day nor in a year. The manufacturers have been guilty of short-sighted policy, and they are beginning to realize, I think, that they have been short-sighted. They have begun to see that, even in this vast territory of ours, there come occasions when it is expedient to have other outlets and to maintain them. The chief obstacle in the way of extending our foreign trade is just indifference on the part of the manufacturers. There is, of course, very great temptation when trade is good here for the manufacturer to busy himself filling local orders to supply home demands and not bother with foreign orders at all. The home trade pays him better, anyway, on account of the fact that he has no shipping of any consequence to deal with and has not to wait for his money. There is very great temptation, indeed, for him to ask himself why he should bother with foreign trade at all when he has all he can do, maybe, to fill local demands, or at any rate, demands from within United States territory. And he lets the foreigner go hang until the time comes when the home market is dull and he has more stuff on his hands than he can conveniently place in the vicinity of his factory. the habit of the manufacturer here to send out his goods and seize hold of foreign fields as emergency dumping grounds, letting the trade slide again so soon as home trade pulled up.

Charles Sumner said: "There are three things necessary—First, backbone; second, backbone; third, backbone." When Lincoln was asked how Grant impressed him as a general, he replied: "The greatest thing about him is his cool persistence of purpose. He has the grip of a bulldog; when once he gets his teeth in, nothing can shake him." This was the whole compendium of Grant's character, his epitome as a soldier. Nothing could shake him off. With him it was "On to Richmond," and, "I shall fight it out on this line if it takes all summer." that broke the backbone of the civil war and eventually made Lee surrender. This wonderful man, at 38 an obscure citizen of Galena, drawing but $800 a year in his father's tannery, at 42 was one of the greatest generals of history. Most of the failures in life are due to want of grit or nerve. A yielding disposition, or, in other words, no backbone to map out a course and pursue it steadily, unswervingly to the end, leaves many a one behind in the life-race. You know how the boy said he learned to skate—by getting up every time he fell down and trying again. Men who have been always successful have often been defeated, but they turned each defeat into a stepping-stone to further progress. In our own time a remarkable instance of what grit can do, even when handicapped by seemingly insurmountable obstacles, is presented that broke the backbone of the civil war and eventually made Lee surrender.

Men who have been always successful have often been defeated, but they turned each defeat into a stepping-stone to further progress. In our own time a remarkable instance of what grit can do, even when handicapped by seemingly insurmountable obstacles, is presented in the case of Helen Keller. Miss Keller has conquered all, and, despite her defects, has demonstrated that she is able to take her place in almost any line with her more fortunate compeers. In her blindness she sees the beauty of the universe, in her deafness she hears the music of the spheres through the ears of a contented mind, and with her deft fingers she voices the emotions of her being and the happy thoughts that are hers. So far from bemoaning her fate, she would not exchange places with queens. Extravagance and self-indulgence are barriers as mighty as those of poverty against the nobler qualities of life. Hard, indeed, is it for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God or into the kingdom of the intellectual life. Ignorance is not confined to the haunts of the poor. Often times, it is even more dense in the home of the rich, aye, in spite of the luxury; nay, because of the luxury. "Give me neither poverty nor riches," said a wise man some thousands of years since. They who have either have a desperate battle to fight if they are going to be anything either in this world or in the world to come. Hence every effort to bring men's minds back from this wild, mad pursuit of wealth, to teach them that there are better things in the world than silver or gold, to force them to realize that love and happiness, the broad mind and the great heart, cannot be bought; that, granted that a man has sufficient for his needs, it is a nobler accomplishment for him to appreciate Homer or Shakespeare, to read Dante or Isaiah, than to own a palace, and, better still, to know God than to know all the kings and great men of the earth. Every effort to teach these things is verily to prepare the way for the coming of Christ. It is cruel and even ironical to talk of the spiritual life, or even of the intellectual life, to men and women who are cold and hungry. It is equally useless to talk of such things to people who are overclothed or overfed. Extravagance and poverty, luxury and want, both stand in the way of higher things. be anything either in this world or in the world to come.

Either renders the individual incapable of appreciation, of thought, or of enjoyment in any real sense of those terms. Either dries up the springs of tenderness and of sympathy. Both are apt to deaden the mind and harden the heart. T Backbone Wins in Life Game By DR. MADISON C. PETERS. Barriers to Noble Qualities By REV. DR. JAMES S. STONE, Chicago. A. B.

London. — Postmasters throughout the United Kingdom have begun the payment of old age pensions under the act of the last session of Parliament to persons over seventy years of age. Seven hundred thousand applications for pensions have been received, of which 200,000 were disallowed, chiefly because the applicants have been in receipt of poor relief. It is estimated that the old age pensions will cost the country $35,000,000 annually. The highest pension is five shillings weekly, which will be paid to applicants having an income below $105 a year.

FROM WHOLE COUNTRY NOTABLE CONVENTIONS OR MANY IMPORTANT AGRICULTURAL ORGANIZATIONS. Denver.—The week of January 18th 23rd, the date of the National Stock Show, will be crowded with farmers' events and preparations are being made to entertain about 20,000 outside people during the week, many of whom will come from out of the state. Entries for the big show are coming in rapidly and the management announces that it will be the greatest show ever held west of Chicago both as to quantity and quality of stock on exhibition. There will be over 400 pure bred cattle, about 250 horses, nearly 300 sheep and hogs to say nothing of the carload lots of cattle, sheep and hogs. It is expected that there will be over 5,000 feeder cattle on exhibition and sale. Among the other events planned for the week is the annual convention of the Colorado Cattle & Horse Growers' Association, the Colorado State Grange, the Colorado State Horticultural Society and the Colorado Grain and Seed Growers' Association. The railroads have made a one-fare rate from points in the state and this will help to bring in a big crowd. The preparations for the big show are about completed and with the magnificent new pavilion that has just been completed at a cost of $200,000 the show will be put on in a style never before seen in the west outside of Chicago. While the National Stock Show is designed primarily to provide education for the live stock interests and to build up that industry, it is likely to prove a new amusement fad that will attract all classes of people. The management of the show, however, will feel that their efforts have been in vain if the farmers and stockmen of the west are not there in force. The big show is in no sense an enterprise for profit. The Denver Union Stock Yards Company is guaranteeing the expenses and will take whatever gate receipts there may be, but there is no idea that the show will be self-supporting for several years at least. The big Chicago International cost the stock yards people over $50,000 before it began to pay for itself. The profit the stock yards people are looking for is the up-building of the live stock and packing interests of the west. A few weeks ago Hon, James J. Hill, the big railroad magnate and one of the greatest builders of the age, in an interview made the statement that in his opinion the United States would have a population of 200,000,000 in 1950. This means that the problem of supplying food to our own people is to be the problem of the future. The big live stock interests also see this and they are turning their eyes to the West as the section that must be the hope of the future. The rapid increase of land values in the East has made the cost of growing cattle so much higher that gradually the volume of production is decreasing. The West with its millions of acres of lands that can never be utilized for anything but grass, offers the only chance to not only keep up the meat supply but to increase it and the object of the National Stock Show at Denver is to encourage the industry, put the stockmen and farmers in the way of producing the best upon profitable lines. One of the strong features of the coming show will be the business end. The great national record associations of the important beef breeds of cattle are arranging for public sales of pure bred stock in which will be offered a limited number of selected individuals from the best herds in the country. These animals are sold for what they will bring, the object being to get some of the best blood placed through the West where it will do the most good. There will also be sales of the finest breeding horses, the best breeding sheep to be found and the best breeding hogs. The western range stockmen are coming to the show with train loads of cattle, sheep and hogs of their best production, which will be exhibited and sold and they will be in position to buy good breeding stock to take home with them. Every farmer in the West is interested in this event because of the fact that successful agriculture must be based upon stock growing. In order to show the farmers what can be used to feed stock a department of feed and forage products has been established and there will be shown the various grasses, grain and forage that can be successfully grown in various localities of the west with which to successfully grow and feed live stock. This feature is under the management of Prof. W. H. Olin and Prof. F. Knorr of the Agricultural College and a big exhibit is promised. The Union Pacific railway will put on another motor car, the second to be put on the run between Greeley and Sterling. By connection with north and southbound trains at La Salle, this will give two strictly local trains each way every day between Denver and Sterling. The Colorado Osteopathic Association at its eleventh annual convention in Denver December 30th re-elected all its officers to serve for another year and chose Boulder as the next place of meeting. HOUSE LAUGHS AT MESSAGE PRESIDENT'S COMMUNICATION IN REGARD TO SECRET SERVICE OPENLY DERIDED. GRIGGS OFFERS SNUB MESSAGE FINALLY REFERRED TO PREVIOUSLY APPOINTED SPECIAL COMMITTEE. Washington—Another message from the President was laughed at in the house today. Some of the members were openly derisive as the communication on the secret service was read, and as a crowning snub Representative Griggs of Georgia moved as an amendment that the message be returned to the President. The message, which had been awaited with much interest, was a reply to the house's resolution calling on the executive to explain the intimation to his annual message that members of Congress were afraid to be investigated by the secret service. The galleries were packed. Promptly at noon Latta, one of the President's secretaries, was at the main door of the chamber bearing the message which was read as soon as the Italian relief measure was put through. The President's specific reference to certain speeches by Tawney, Minnesota; Smith, Iowa; Sherley, Kentucky, and Fitzgerald, New York, when the provision for the restriction of the operations of the secret service was up for discussion and also to Busby, the speaker's private secretary, caused a storm of laughter. The speaker several times vigorously rapped for order. In commenting on the President's reference to him in the message, Busby said: "I am an employee of the House of Representatives. It would not be appropriate for me in any way to make my comment on the matter now before the house. I will say, however, that the article quoting the Chicago Inter-Ocean in the President's message, was prepared in the regular course of work as a newspaper correspondent when I was the representative of the Inter-Ocean. "It was one of a series of feature stories written in the summer and early fall of 1903 subject to the editor's discretion as to when it should be published. It was published five years ago." "No member of Congress inspired it, nor was any member of Congress consulted about it. No opinion of any member was embodied in it, and no one is in the slightest degree responsible for it except the editor of the Inter-Ocean and myself. I doubt if a dozen members of Congress ever saw the article or heard of it until today." As the reading of the message proceeded many of the members chuckled, others laughed outright, while some were prone to joke with their neighbors. When the reading ended Perkins of New York, chairman of the special committee which originally considered the matter, moved that the message be referred to that committee. "Is an amendment in order to that motion?" inquired Griggs of Georgia in a deliberate voice. "It is," replied the speaker. "Then," said Griggs, "I move that this message be returned to the President." "Oh, no," shouted several of Griggs' Democratic colleagues. Perkins insisted that the message should go to the special committee and in the meantime Griggs withdrew his motion, saying he took that action at the request of his party leaders. The message was referred as he requested. Oil Case Goes Back to Landis. Washington.—The $29,000,000 fine case of the Standard Oil Company will not be reviewed by the Supreme Court of the United States. The decision of the court to this effect was announced by Chief Justice Fuller soon after the court convened Monday. The case came to the court on a petition for a writ of certiorari to order up the record in the case for a review of the decision of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals for the Seventh circuit by which Judge Landis' original decision imposing a fine of $29,000,000 against the Standard Oil Company for accepting rebates from the railway companies was reversed. Porto Rico a Territory. Washington.—That Porto Rico is a territory within the meaning of the federal extradition statutes was in effect declared Monday by the Supreme Court of the United States in deciding the case of Abraham Kopel vs. Police Commissioner Bingham of New York against Kopel. Judge Lewis' Decision Sustained. Washington.—The United States Supreme Court Monday sustained the decision of Judge Lewis of the Colorado District Court, in which he dismissed the indictments found against Edward M. Briggs, Charles H. Freeman, Charles D. McPhee, John J. McGinnity, A. T. Sullenberger and others charged with conspiracy to defraud the government by conspiracy to enter timber lands under the timber and coal act in excess of acreage permitted by that law. Thurston H. U.

The petroleum deposits of India, including Burma, have scarcely been disturbed, and the magnitude of the possible trade of India in the products of petroleum can hardly be estimated. --- Poppy S JAS F .CLARK Phone Main 2408 Telephone Main 5386.

I went to my doctor, but his medicine could only stop the itching. At night I suffered so fearfully that I could not sleep. I could not bear to touch my hands with water.

RESULT OF FAST LIVING ARREST SOLVES MYSTERY OF CONTINUED DISAPPEARANCE OF VALUABLES Denver:—Confronted with positive evidence that he had stolen from the mails at the Denver postoffice, a special delivery letter containing $119, Howeil Snowden, for four and a half years chief clerk of the special delivery department, and in every respect a trusted employee, broke down and confessed to Chief Postoffice Inspector Cockran that he had stolen scores of letters in a similar manner within the past year, and had obtained hundreds of dollars from them. Snowden lives at 629 Nineteenth street and is single. He has been connected with the Denver postoffice for six years. His friends say that his downfall is due to infatuation for women. Following his confession he was immediately taken before United States Commissioner-Hinsdale, where he was formally charged with the theft of the letter and held under $2,000 bond. He was unable to furnish the bond and was taken to the county jail. The arrest of Snowden furnishes a solution to a mystery that has worried postoffice officials in Denver and many other cities for months. Reports from all parts of the country have frequently been received of the loss of special delivery letters sent either to or from the Denver office and an investigation has been going on for nearly a year to discover the thief. The complaints began when E. L. McKee was inspector in charge, and when he was given a position in the field a month ago, he, with Inspector H. G. Durand, was assigned to the case. They soon became convinced that the letters were being taken in the special delivery department of the Denver office, but the problem of discovering the thief seemed impossible of solution. The good record made by Snowden in the service made them slow in attaching suspicion to him, but circumstances soon led them to watch his movements. Several times they thought they had discovered proof of his guilt, but it was not until Thursday that they were able to fasten his guilt upon him. Concealed in the office they saw him take a letter from the special delivery package and hide it. Deputy United States Marshal Chadwick was also stationed in the office and placed Snowden under arrest. Royal Relief Donation. Rome.—In addition to his former donations, besides putting the royal palaces at the disposal of the injured refugees, the King has given $200,000 to the relief fund, donating half of this amount to the Red Cross Society and half to the national relief committee instituted by himself. The rescuers during the first week accomplished prodigies of endurance. They saved 12,000 people, some wounded and others injured from the ruins. All the tens of thousands of survivors have been moved away. Women Freed by Jury. Media, Pa.—Mrs. M. Florence Erb, wife of Capt. J. Clayton Erb, who was well known in political circles all over Pennsylvania, and her sister, Mrs. Catherine Beisel, who were charged with the sensational murder of Capt. Erb on the night of October 6, 1908. Thursday walked from the Delaware county court house free women. After the jury had been out nearly eighteen hours it brought in a verdict of not guilty in the case of each woman, both of whom had been charged separately and jointly with shooting the captain. Money for Antelope Denver.—State Game Commissioner Farr has received a letter, enclosing a check for $50 from President William Dutcher of the National Association of Audubon Societies, tendering that amount to assist in feeding the starving antelope in Colorado. Twenty Millions in Wages. Chicago. — The stockholders of Swift & Co., at their annual meeting Thursday decided to increase the capital stock from $50,000,000 to $60,000,000. The report for the previous year showed that $20,000,000 had been paid out in wages. Night Riders Convicted. Union City, Tenn.—With a verdict of guilty the jury in the night riders' trials reported at 8:45 Thursday night. The twelve men found Garrett Johnson, Tid Burton, Boy Ranson, Fred Pinion, Arthur Cloar and Sam Applewhite guilty of murder in the first degree with mitigating circumstances, their sentences to be fixed by the court, and Bud Morris and Bob Huffman, the other defendants, guilty of murder in the second degree, fixing their punishment at twenty years in the penitentiary. LEGISLATIVE WORK IS BEGUN COLORADO GENERAL ASSEMBLY CONFINES ACTION TO ROUTINE BUSINESS. WAITS FOR MESSAGE COMMITTEES APPOINTED TO ARRANGE FOR INAUGURAL CEREMONIES JANUARY 12TH. Denver.—Less than two hours constituted a day's work Thursday for the Lower House of the Seventeenth General Assembly. Speaker Lubers called it to order at 10:12 o'clock, and adjournment being taken at about noon until 10 o'clock Friday morning. Messrs. Hicks, Wheeler and Garman were appointed to serve with a like committee from the Senate to make arrangements for the inaugural ceremonies January 12th. Lieutenant Governor Harper presided throughout the session of the Senate, and the incoming lieutenant governor, S. R. Fitzgerald, was a spectator. The new chaplain of the body, P. T. Ramsey, delivered the invocation. All members were present. The rules of the sixteenth session were adopted as the temporary rules of the Senate. The executive of the Direct Primary League has completed the official direct primary bill that is to be introduced into both houses. I. N. Stevens has been at work on the measure for some time past. It is more conservative in its provisions than some of the laws now in effect and it is careful regarding the expense bills to be incurred by the state. Guided by past experience and the success of the juvenile contributing act, the State Humane Society will introduce at the present session of the Legislature a bill making parents or guardians of minor children under eighteen years, responsible for the misconduct of the children. On motion of Senator Carringer, chairman of the Democratic caucus patronage committee, Elisie L. Vandergrief, chief enrolling clerk, was also made official stenographer and reporter of the Senate, at additional compensation of $1 per day. Samuel L. Mays was made reading clerk, Mrs. Maggie Turner matron of the ladies' cloakroom and Walter Alexander chief enrolling clerk, all on motion of Senator Carringer. Mays was selected by State Chairman Ward of the Democratic committee, this being the only patronage allotted to him, by the Senate. The message of Governor Buchtel and the inaugural of Governor Shafroth are awaited with interest. After the incoming governor's message is read, the Legislature will get down to the real business of the session. All of the committees in both houses will be announced at the session Wednesday morning and the introduction of bills will begin. The bills will be read by title and referred to the various committees and it is not expected that any will come before the Legislature for consideration until after the election of the United States Senator, a week from Tuesday.

Preston Kendall, the actor, tells a story of a ne'er-do-well in a little New England town, where he has often spent his summers. "I was walking down the main street one day," said Kendall, "when I saw old Silas grinning from ear to ear. I hardly thought that he was that glad to see me. So, after speaking to him, I said: 'Why the smile that won't come off, Silas? What has happened to make you so happy this morning?' I've been a-git-tin' married this morning,' was the unexpected reply. 'Married! You? I exclaimed. 'Why, Silas, what on earth have you done that for? You know you can't even support yourself as it is.' 'Wall,' said Silas, 'you see, it's this way: I ken penty near support myself, an' I kind of figured out that she could finish up the job.' LAME BACK PRESCRIPTION The increased use of "Toris" for lame back and rheumatism is causing considerable discussion among the medical fraternity. It is an almost infallible cure when mixed with certain other ingredients and taken properly. The following formula is effective: "To one-half pint of good whiskey add one ounce of Toris Compound and one ounce Syrup Sarsaparilla Compound. Take in tablespoonful doses before each meal and before retiring." Toris compound is a product of the laboratories of the Globe Pharmaceutical Co., Chicago, but it as well as the other ingredients can be had from any good druggist. Harmony. "We must have harmony," said the leaders of the party. "We quite agree," interposed a member of the minority. "Indeed, there has been nothing in the way of complete harmony all along save the attitude of a stupid, truculent and asinine majority." There was interruption at the point. Still, the purpose of the meeting was not wholly defeated, the police acting as a harmonizing agency. How's This?

The Colorado Statesman 1824 CURTIS STREET ROOM 25. Paris Models THE WORLD'S FASHION Lilac cloth is the material of the left-hand costume. The corsage forms a sort of bolero, fashioned on one side with embroidered black satin buttons. The collar, revers and cuffs are trimmed with black satin. The chemisette is of tucked tulle, with plaited frill of the same ornamented with gold buttons. Plaitings of this tulle finish the long, tight sleeves at the wrists. At the back is a girdle of the material. The half-empire skirt is made with breadths or bands, crossed in front simulating a tunic and uniting in the back. The other costume is a pastel gray wool dotted with black and having a border of black and white checks, which forms the trimming on the corsage and bottom of tue skirt. The fitted corsage simulates a bolero, and is trimmed besides the border with bands of the material and little buttons, with simulated button holes of black liberty. The straps which form the girdle are also of black liberty. The little guimpes are tucked tulle, the collar and cuffs are composed of lace ruffles and green liberty ribbon. The skirt is made and trimmed to correspond and is finished at the bottom with the checked border and a band of black liberty. ANOTHER NOVELTY IN SCARFS. Fluffy Accessories Are Just Now High in Favor. THE MATTER OF VEILS. Detail of the Costume That Is of Impense Importance. It seems as though there will never be an end to the novelties in scarfs and motor veils that are being introduced almost every day, all of which goes to prove that soft, delicately colored scarfs and wide chiffon and net motor veils, if anything, increase in popularity with each successive week. Most attractive are the newest chiffon scarfs and extremely easy are they of home manufacture, always a consideration for the woman who would be accorded the title of well dressed on an income distressingly small. Formed of chiffon or heavy net, the ends of the scarf are caught, or, more strictly speaking, gathered in and finished off with a short tassel or fringe of coarse sewing silk. The scarf may also be gathered in slightly in the center and a tassel attached at one end, so that when thrown over the shoulders the scarf makes an attractive bit of drapery on the back of the dress, as well as adding to the charm of the front of the gown. In the soft shades of pink, blue, mauve, green and, in fact, in all the light pastel colorings, these scarfs are exquisitely pretty, and they are perhaps especially charming made up in the shaded chiffons which are now to be had designed especially for veiling for the large motor hats now in vogue. An old scarf of crepe de chine or chiffon can be quite rejuvenated by a bath in naphtha or a thorough washing in luke warm water and ivory soapsuds, and then after being carefully pressed out embellished by the addition of silk tassels at the ends and in the center. SIMPLE AND CORRECT. Simple hat of gray ottoman silk, lined with black; galon of gray and blue embroidery. A Fine Hair Shampoo. First, boil a pint of water. Add to this a third of a cake of pure white soap, shaved fine. Boll this until the soap is melted. Pour this mixture into a far before it thickens and let it cool. To shampoo the hair put a couple of tablespoonfuls of this paste into warm water and when it is dissolved apply to the hair and rub it into the scalp several times. Then rinse the hair well in clear, warm water. To Sew in Sleeves. When sewing sleeves in a garment, instead of gathering them first, baste the underarm part to the garment where there is to be no fullness, then gather top of sleeve and draw shirr thread so as to fit into armhole. By so doing the difficulty of getting the exact fullness in the right place is avoided. THE MATTER OF VEILS. Detail of the Costume That Is of immense importance. Nothing can more easily make or mar one's appearance than a veil. If it is put on in wrinkles, it conveys immediately the impression of a wrinkled skin, and adds years to the fair face. If a woman has a naturally heavy jaw, she must resist the temptation of the border veils, and the man —it could never have been a woman—who invented green veils ought to be imprisoned. Brown veils are universally becoming $_{\mathbf{g}}$ and the veritable avalanches of lace that now fall from the fashionable hats can be manipulated by clever fingers into any effect whatever! The safest of all is the clear mesh with moderately large chenille spots. To fix it to the hat, always pin it in front first to the brim, then pin the two top edges together at the back of the crown. The ends are then gathered into a knot, so that the lace lies quite smoothly across the face. The greatest care should be taken with the back of the veil, which must meet as nearly as possible over the back of the hair, and do not let the lower edge fall below the chin. Twisting it into a knot under the chin is abominable. When the veil is removed from the hat it should be rolled over a cardboard roll easily made for the purpose. An invariable law should be that the veil must match either the hat or the trimming. The old rose and the deep red shades in veiling give an attractive glow to pale cheeks. Gold and Brown. One of the combinations coming into first style for indoor gowns is bronze satin. It is used for an empire skirt that reaches to the bust, and above this is a bodice of bronze sequins mixed with gold thread, run on brown net. The bodice is made in the usual way out of bands going around the figure and over the arms. The only touch of any other color is a bit of white tulle at the neck and sleeves. This combination is adopted for elaborate low-necked frocks worn for special occasions. As a rule brown is not considered among the evening colors, but this coppery bronze tone shows off the heavy bullion trimming in an effective manner, and lights up well under the electrics. A Practical Blouse A smart and practical blouse of dark red nun's veiling, seen in a shop recently, was laid entirely in tucks from armhole to armhole and closed down the front under a narrow box plait. The sleeves fitted the arms smoothly to the wrists and were tucked their entire length, graduating in size, the widest coming at the top. Ruffles of black chiffon trimmed the wrists and a high collar of dark red satin folded, edged with a ruff of black chiffon, lined with white, finished the neck. A narrow cavat tied in a bow in the front, the ends weighted with gold tassels, completed a stylish waist. Prevent Raveling.

Also Must Be Put Into Water Exactly at Proper Temperature—Suggestions for Preparation of Dishes. In order to make macaroni at all palatable it should always be put into water that is boiling "on the jump" and highly seasoned. Otherwise it will develop into a tasteless mass of soggy dough. Another mistake that many cooks are apt to make is not cook- water that is boiling "on the jump" and highly seasoned. Otherwise it will develop into a tasteless mass of soggy dough. Another mistake that many cooks are apt to make is not cooking macaroni long enough. Many authorities will tell you that 20 minutes is long enough, but an hour is far better. Here are a few suggestions for macaroni dishes, so acceptable at this season of the year: Italian macaroni—Boil enough macaroni for the family for about an hour, and when cooked drain it off into another saucepan and pour over it half a cup of melted butter. In another saucepan stew a can of tomatoes until done, strain through a fine sieve and thicken with a tablespoon of browned butter and flour. Season with salt and red pepper to taste. Put the macaroni in a deep dish and pour the thickened tomatoes over it, then cover the top of the dish with grated cheese, serve at once. Macaroni with cheese—Break into short lengths macaroni enough to fill a large coffee cup and dash into pot of boiling water which is well salted. Cook until tender and stir often at first to keep from sticking to the bottom of the pot. When cooked, drain off all the liquor, put the macaroni into a porcelain kettle and add one cup of either beef or chicken stock and one cup of tomatoes which have been rubbed through a colander. Let this simmer for 20 minutes, or until the liquor is well absorbed. Add to it half a cup of grated cheese, one tablespoon of butter, salt and red pepper to taste and serve hot. Macaroni croquettes—This is a good way of using up left-over macaroni: Take about two cups of the cooked macaroni and chop it quite fine, and if it is not soft enough add a little white sauce to it. Heat it in a saucepan over a slow fire, season highly with salt and red pepper and add a little grated cheese to it. Take out and shape into long croquettes, roll them first in bread crumbs—not cracker dust—then in the beaten yolk of an egg, then in the bread crumbs once more. Let them dry for a few moments and fry in deep fat. Serve on a platter with drawn butter and sprinkle powdered cheese over it. Parmesan cheese is best, but English cheese will answer the purpose. Apricot Pudding. Put one pound of stewed apricots in pudding pan, using juice for sauce. Sift well one-half teaspoonful of salt and two teaspoonfuls of baking powder with two cupfuls of flour. Rub in one-fourth of a cupful of butter; beat one egg lightly and add three-fourths of a cupful of sweet milk and stir into flour, using more milk if necessary to make batter soft enough to spread over apricots. Bake one-half hour in hot oven and serve with sauce, made as follows: Melt one tablespoonful of butter and mix with one tablespoonful of flour; add one-half cupful of sugar and the juice from apricots. Cook five minutes. Norwegian Prune Pudding One-half pound prunes, two cups cold water, one cup sugar, one inch piece stick cinnamon, one-half cup boiling water, one-half cup cornstarch, one tablespoon lemon juice. Pick over and wash prunes, then soak one hour in cold water, and boil until soft; remove stones, obtain meat from stones and add to prunes. Then add sugar, cinnamon, boiling water, and simmer ten minutes. Dilute cornstarch with enough cold water to pour easily, add to prune mixture and cook five minutes. Remove cinnamon, mold, then chill, and serve with cream. German Baked Beans Soak one quart of navy beans overnight; in the morning clease thoroughly. Put beans in kettle with one quart of tomatoes; cut up one good sized onion and about one-half pound of bacon in small pieces, add sufficient water, and boil until pretty near done. Then place beans in pan with pieces of bacon on top and administer sugar and flour on surface and put in oven and bake until nice and brown. After-Dinner Cheese. A new way of preparing an afterdinner cheese will be found worth trying. Put a cupful of grated American cheese into a basin, add two-thirds of a cup of finely chopped salted almonds, one tablespoonful of brandy and a pinch of salt and cayenne. Mix well, press into a small mold until needed, turn out and pass salted wafers with it. Sweet Potato Salad Take six large sweet potatoes, peel and boil until thoroughly cooked. When cold slice and add one large onion, one stalk celery, and one large green pepper. Pour mayonnaise over all and garnish with parsley. Potato Mucilage A good mucilage can be made from potato peelings; put as many peelings as desired in kettle, cover with water, boil one hour; strain, then add one-half teaspoonful of alum; this will keep indefinitely.
