What has been said has been to a realization of the conditions about us. We are very much given to complaining about conditions and the extreme brutality of the other fellow without for a moment thinking of the part we play in the creation of an adverse public sentiment. In ALL that we say or do we contribute to the creation of public sentiment. There should be developed among our people in Denver as well as elsewhere, a strong determination to do our best and apprear in a dignified manner in all places and before all people. Ours is a working class of people. The women and children along with the men strive to earn something to lay by for the proverbial rainy day. This takes our women from their homes and families to the neglect of the children. Although it may be very necessary for the mothers to leave home to work, it seems that a feeling of pride would prompt the proper preparation of the child for school. Here we have mixed schoolis and the best in the world, with a minimum of race prejudice. Great care should be exercised that the children of our race should be clean and neatly dressed when they teach the little ones to do these things for themselves. For them to be neat and clean when they appear in public places creates in them a pride and an ambition that makes for better manhood and womanhood. There seems to be a growing tendency among some people to intrude. Denver as a general thing among business men welcomes the Colored brother and accords him every courtesy. It is a rare thing for people of our race to be "refused," but sometimes our conduct brings about a condition where refusal to the entire race results. There are drug stores up town very nice to our people and some of OUR PEOPLE seemingly are disposed to over do. The other day in passing we noticed a Colored man proped back in a chair, with his feet elevated to a comfortable VOL. XV. MOTHER AND CHILD. JUST HANGING AROUND. angle, reading a paper. These stores are not lounging places and the Colored person who presumes on the good nature of a kindly disposed business man to his disgust, is making it hard on the race. This disposition to loaf and lounge is not confined to white places of business, but our barbershop and other places of business become the meeting place for bunches of idle fellows to "swap" impossible stories. Our people should realize that business houses are not lounging rooms. It is a great embarrassment to the proprietor to remind visitors that when they have been served to make room for another. Many patrons pass a store or barber shop full of loafers believing they cannot receive immediate service. There are always places to hang out if one does not feel disposed to go home. Denver has several very nicely conducted clubs, where the latest papers, magazines, and writing material are at the disposal of visitors and members. Our people must learn that a business house is not a lounging place. A BIG REVIVAL. Next week marks a great epoch in the religious history of Denver. The second of a series of great meetings will be held. A few weeks ago the distinguished Catholic divine, Bishop Kane of Wyoming, held a week of service at the auditorium. Beginning next week Gipsy Smith, the world's greatest evangelist, open a week of religious efforts calculated to be of great and lasting benefit to the city. ALL the protestant churches are combined in this effort and they are being nobly supported by the various Catholic bodies. THE COLORADO STATESMAN realizing the great benefit to be derived from this effort urges the Colored pastors of Denver to close their churches and take their congregations in a body to aid in the great work of bringing souls to Christ. Let us make the effort. Its worth the while. Wm. J. Trent of Philadelphia has opened a shoe store at 1731 Columbia avenue.

Washington, Feb. 28.—Robert H, Terrell, a colored graduate of Harvard College, '84, who has been a justice of one of the magistrate courts of this city for the last seven years, has been appointed a Judge of the Municipal Court of the Dirtrict of Columbia, which has just been created by an act of Congress.

Their volumn of business will easily amount to $35,000 a year. Washington, Feb. 3.—Senator Gore of Oklahoma has presented a resolution drafted by G. W. Washington, a Negro, who has spent some time in Liberia studying the condition of his race there. The resolution has a long list of names and asks the federal government to appropriate a certain sum of money to be used for the transportation of such Negroes in the United States who wish to leave America and colonize in Liberia. Washington formerly lived in Okmulgee, Okla., but became interested in the Negro migration subject and has been agitating it extensively since his return from Liberia. Many members of congress including Senator Clapp of Michigan, believe the idea to be a good one, but it would not, they say, be any relief from the Negro question in the South, as the more highly educated Negroes would take advantage of the chance and the ignorant and illiterate ones, would stay in this country. --- LOVING CUP FOR FORAKER Washington, March 5—In appreciation of his effort in behalf of the discharged Brownville battalion, the Negro citizens of Washington presented Senator Foraker, on Friday, March 5th a massive solid silver loving cup. The cup stands nearly two feet high and rests on an ebony base. It weighs nearly 100 ounces. Around the bowl are three handles and on each handle are the letters "B. C. D." representing the names of the companies of the battalion. Around the base in raised letters are the words "Twenty-fifth United States Infantry." In the gold lining of the bowl is inscribed a quotation from a speech made by Senator Foraker in the senate January 12, 1909, in behalf of the soldiers, in which he said: "They ask for no favors because they are Negroes, but only for justice, because they are men." JOHNSON SAILING Melbourne, Australia.—Jack Johnson, left Sydney and boarded the steamer Makura, which left for Vancouver Monday and arrives March 12. Then the Negro heavyweight will leave for his home in Galveston, Texas, to visit his mother. In his farewell statement here Johnson said: "I am willing to fight James J. Jeffries, Tommy Burns or any other man alive in England, America, Australia or any part of the civilized world where sufficient inducements are offered. "I will do no boxing or other business in the United States when I arrive there, and I have given no authority for the statement that has been published that I will then fight Stanley Ketchell. I understand that Jeffries had definitely declared that he never again enter the ring. If however Jeffries has decided to accept the purse of $75,000 offered by Sam Allen of Melbourne for a match in Australia with me, I am willing to return here in twelve mouths' time and give him a chance to win the title he once held. "I have arranged to reach London the first week in April, and probably immediately will begin my music hall engagements. The contest between Langford and myself before the National Sporting Club has been provisionally fixed for Derby night, but the date will not be definately determined until I arrive in London. "I am out for business all the time, as the people of England will find out when I reach there." A True Hero. A hero is a man who can pull out a handkerchief with a hole in it in a street car and not thrust it back in his pocket as if it were a smallpox flag.—New York Press. NO.24 Washington, Feb. 24.—From a correspondent in Monrovia, Liberia, the state department has received a letter touching affairs in that little Republic in the writer says that he has found general conditions much better than they had been represented to him, all along the course of an African trip of six months. The letter says: 'Everything here is reminiscent of home, the flags on the houses, the names of the streets. Every college in the country is founded on American benevolence. All its institutions are unique in Africa. Yesterday I wandered through the old cemetery and on nearly every tombstone I read 'Virginia, 'South Carolina' and so on. 'After a painstaking effort to get to the bottom of things I am convinced that the government is to be commended for having kept its head above water, in spite of its poverty, and that the future of the country is secure if the Liberians could only have the assurance that the integrity and independence of Liberia is secure. There will be no difficulty about reforms if threats of partition could be offset by one little assurance that the mother country would see them through as in the case of Cuda and China.' YOU ARE AMERICANS." "The idea that the South can afford," said Mr. Taft, "to have the Afro-American transplanted to some other country to me always sounded like a joke. They tried that down in Mississippi, and they were going to move them, not out of the country to Africa, but only accross the river, and they had a riot. Of course that is absurd. "I want to add that I always want to say before an Afro-American audience that you are Americans. The idea of transplanting you is utterly absurd. The only flag you know is the Stars and Stripes, and you are of a race that has given up their lives and moistened the ground with their blood in defense of that flag, and will continue to do so. "Therefore, as the President of the United States to be, if the Lord spares me until March 4, I must feel that I had not discharged my duty in coming into this country, If I spoke at all, without speaking to the colored people as an important part of the South, and as Americans entitled to the same earnest concern that I hope the Lord may give me to manifest with respect to a whole united people."—From address of President-Elect Taft to Afro-American Y M. C. A., Augusta, Ga., January, 1909. INAUGURATION ADDRESS OF PRESIDENT TAFT NEW CHIEF EXECUTIVE OUTLINES POLICIES Definite Announcement That Extra Session of Congress Will Be Called to Consider Tariff Revision---Postal Savings Bank Is to Be Pushed---Other Recommendations. (SSCS IDAUSUTSL, Gaaregs, celverad, after he had taken the oath of office, ‘was as follows: My Fellow Citizens: Any one who takes the oath I have just taken must feel a heavy weight of responsibility. If not, he has no conception of the powers and duties of the office upon which he 1s about to enter, or he is lacking in a proper sense of the obli gation which the oath imposes. ‘The office of an inaugural address 4s to give a summary outline of the main policies of the new administra- tion, so far as they can be anticipated. J have had the honor to be one of the advisers of my distinguished prede cessor, and as such, to hold up his hands in the reforms he has initiated 1 should be untrue to myself, to my promises and to the declarations of the party platform upon which I am elected to office, if I did not make the maintenance and enforcement of those reforms a most important feature of my administration. They were di- rected to the suppression of the law- lessness and abuses of power of the great combinations of capital Invested In railroads and in industrial enter- prises carrying on interstate com- merce. The steps which my predeces- sor took and the legislation passed on his recommendation have accom plished much, have caused a general halt in the vicious policies which cre- ated popular alarm, and have brought about in the business affected, a much higher regard for existing law. To render the reforms lasting, how- ever, and to secure at the same time freedom from alarm on the part of those pursuing proper and progres- sive business methods, further legisla- tive and executive action are needed. Relief of the railroads from certain re- strictions of the anti-trust law have been urged by my predecessor and will be urged by me. On the other hand, the administration is pledged to legis- lation looking to a proper federal su- pervision and restriction to prevent ex- cessive issues of bonds and stocks by companies owning and operating inter- state commerce railroads, Then, too, a reorganization of the department of justice, of the burean of corporations in the department of commerce and labor, and of the inter- state commerce commission, looking to effective co-operation of these agencies, is needed to secure a more rapid and certain enforcement of the laws affecting interstate railroads and industrial combinations. I hope to be able to submit, at the first regular session of the incoming congress, in December next, definite suggestions in respect to the needed amendments to the anti-trust and the interstate commerce law, and the changes required in the executive de- partments concerned in their enforce- ment. It is believed that with the changes to be recommended, American bust- ness can be assured of that measure of stability and certainty in respect to those things that may be done and those that are prohfbited, which is es- sential to the life and growth of all business. Such a plan must include the right of the people to aval! them- selves of those methods of combining capital and effort deemed necessary to reach the highest degree of econom- fe efficiency, at the same time dif- ferentiating between combinations based upon legitimate economic rea- sons and those formed with the intent of creating monopolies and artificially controlling prices, The work of formulating into prac- tical shape such changes is creative work of the highest order, and re- quires all the deliberation possible in the interval. I believe that the amend- ments to be proposed are just as nec. essary In the protection of legitimate business as in the clinching of the re- forms which properly bear the name of my predecessor. Extra Session for March 15. A matter of most pressing impor- tance is the revision of the tarlf. In accordance with the promises of the platform upon which I was edected, I shall call congress into extra session, to meet on the fifteenth day of March, In order that consideration may be at once given to a bill revising the Ding- ley act. This should secure an ade- quate sevenue and adjust the duties in such @ manuer as to afford to labor and to all industries in this country, whether ot the farm, mine or factory. protection by tariff equal to the if. ference between the cost of produe- tion abroad and the cost of production here, and have a provision which shall put into force, npon executive dotermination of certain facts, a high. er or maximum tariff against those countries whose trade policy toward us equitably ‘requires such discrimi. nation. It is thought that there has ‘Of rates In certain schedules and will require the advancement of few, if any. The proposal to revise the tariff made in such an authoritative way as {o lead the business community to count upon it, necessarily halts all those branches of business directly af- fected, and as these are most impor- tant, it disturbs the whole business of the country. It is imperatively neces- sary, therefore, that a tariff bill be drawn in good faith in accordance with promises made before the elec tion by the party in power, and as promptly passed as due consideration will permit. It is not that the tariff is more important in the long run than the perfecting of the reforms in re- spect to anti-trust legislation and in- terstate commerce regulation, but the need for action when the revision of the tariff has been determined upon, is more immediate to avoid embar- rassment of business. To secure the needed speed in the passage of the tariff bill, it would seem wise to at- tempt no other legislation at the ex- tra session, 1 venture this as a sug- gestion only, for the course to be tak- en by congress, upon the call of the executive, is wholly within its discre- tion, For Graduated Inheritance Tax. In the making of a tariff bill, the prime motive is taxation, and the se- curing thereby of a revenue. Due largely to the business depression which followed the financial panic of 1907, the revenue from customs and other sources has decreased to such an extent that the expenditures for the current fiscal year will exceed the re. ceipts by $100,000,000. It is impera- tive that such a deficit shall not con- tinue, and the framers of the tariff bill must of course have in mind the total revenues likely to be produced by it, and so arrange the duties as to secure an adequate income. Should it be impossible to do so by import du- ties, new kinds of taxation must be adopted, and among these 1 recom- mend a graduated inheritance tax, as correct in principle and as certain and easy of collection. The obligation on the part of those responsible for the expenditures made to carry on the government, to be as eco- nomical as possible, and to make the burden of taxation as light as possible, is plain and should be affirmed in every declaration of goyernment pol- icy. This is especially true when we are face to face with a heavy deficit. But when the desire to win the popu- Jar approval leads to the cutting off of expenditures really needed to make the government effective, and to en- able it to accomplish its proper ob- Jects, the result is as much to be con- demned as the waste of government funds in unnecessary expenditure, The scope of a modern government in what it can and ought to accomplish for its people has been widened far beyond the principles laid down by the old laissez faire school of political writers, and this widening has met popular approval. In the department of agriculture, the use of scientific experiments on a large scale, and the spread of informa- tion derived from them for the im- provement of general agriculture, must gO On. The importance of supervising bus!- ness of great railways and indus- trial combinations, and the necessary investigation and prosecution of un- lawful business methods, are another necessary tax upon government which did not exist half a century ago. | { Necessary Expenditures. The putting into force of laws which | shalt secure the conservation of our | resources, so far as they may be with- in the jurisdiction of the federal gov- ernment, including the most impor- | tant work of saving and restoring our forests, and the general improvement | of waterways, are all proper govern- ment functions which must inyolve large expenditure if properly _ per- | formed, While some of them, like the reclamation of arid lands, are made ,to pay for themselves, others are of | such an indirect benefit that this can. not be expected of them. A perma. nent improvement, lke the Panama canal, should be treated as a distinct enterprise, and should be paid for by the proceeds of bonds, the issue of which will distribute its cost between | the present and future generations in accordance with tne benefits derived. It may well be submitted to the seri- ous consideration of congress whether the deepening and control of the chan: nel of a great river system, like that of the Ohio or of the Mississippi, when definite and practical plans for the enterprise have been approved and determined upon, should not be pro- vided for in the same way, in defense of its own trade interests. in the maintenance of traditional "American policy against the coloniza tion of European monarchies tn. this "hemisphere, and in the promotion of peace and international morality, 1 refer to the cost of maintaining a proper army, a proper navy and suit able fortifications upon the matniand of the United States and In its depend “encies, We should have an army so organ ized, and so officered, as to be capa)le in time of emergency, in co-operation with the nations! militia, and under the provisions of a proper national volunteer law, rapidly to expand into a force sufficient to resist all probable ‘Invasion from abroad and to furnish @ respectable expeditionary foree, if ‘necessary, in the maintenance of our eeaaieaeas American policy which bears the name of President Monroe. | Calls for Strong Army and Navy. Our fortifications are yet in a state of only partial completeness and the ‘number of men to man them is insu cient. In a few years, however, the ‘usual annual appropriations for our coast defenses both on the mainland and in the dependencies, will make them sufficient to resist all direct at- tack, and by that time we may hope ‘that the men to man them will be pro- vided as a necessary adjunct, ‘The distance of our shores from Europe and Asia of course reduces the neces. sity for maintaining under arms a ‘great army, but it does not take away ‘the requirement of mere prudence, that we should have an army suffi ciently large and so constituted as to form a nucleus out of which a suit able force can quickly grow. What has been said of the army may be affirmed in even a more em ‘phatic way of the navy. A modern avy cannot be improvised, Tt must be built and in existence when the emergency arises which calls for its use and operation. My distinguished predecessor has in many speeches and “Messages set out with great force and striking language the necessity for maintaining a strong navy commensur- sate with the coast line, the govern: | mental resources and the foreign trade of our nation; and I wish to reiterate all the reasons which he has pre- sented in favor of the policy of main: taining a strong navy as the best con “servator of our peace with other na tions and the best means of securing respect for the assertion of our rights, ‘the defense of our cnterests and the exercise of our influence in interna- tional matters, . | Our international policy {s always to promote peace. We shall enter into any war with a full conscious: ness of the awful consequences that it always entails, whether successful or not, and we, of course, shall make every effort, consistent with national honor and the highest national inter- est, to avoid a resort to arms. We favor every instrumentality, like dust of The Hague tribunal and arbitrdtion treaties made with a view to its use in all international controversies, in order to maintain peace and to avoid war, But we shonld be blind to ex: isting conditions, and should allow ourselves to become foolish idealists, if we did not realize that with all the nations of the world armed and pre- pared for war, We must be ourselves in a similar condition, in order «o pre: vent other nations from taking ad- vantage of us and of our inability to defend our interests and assert our rights with a strong hand. In the international cuntroversies that are likely to arise in the orient, growing out of the question of the open dobr and other fssues, the United States can maintain her interests ‘ntact and can secure respect for her just de mands. She will not be able to do so, however, if it is understood that she uever intends to back up her asser- tion of right and her defense of her interest by anything but mere verbal protest and diplomatic note, For these reasons, the expenses of the army and navy and of coast defenses should always be considered as some- thing which the government must pay for, and they should not be cut of through mere consideration of econ- omy. Our government is able to af- ford a suitable army and a suitable navy. It may maintain them without the slightest danger to the republic or the cause of free institutions, and fear of additional taxation ought not to change a proper policy in this re- gard. ‘The policy of the United States in the Spanish war, and since, has given it a position of influence among the uations that it never had before, and should be constantly exerted to se- curing to its bona fide citizens, wheth- er native or naturalized, respect for them as such in foreign countries, We should make every effort to Gan Defect in Federal Jurisdiction, The admission of Asiatic imml- grants who can not be amalgamated ‘with onr population has been made the subject either of prohibitory clauses in our treaties and statutes, or of strict administrative regulation secured by diplomatic negotiation, I sincerely hope that we may continue to minimize the evils likely to arise from such immigration without un- necessary friction and by mutual con- cessions between self-respecting gov- ernments. Meantime, we must take every precaution to prevent, or, faik ing that, to punish outbursts of race fecling among our people against for- eigners of whatever nationality who have by our grant a treaty right to pursue lawful business here and to be protected against lawless assault or injury. ‘This leads me to point out a serious eee ey Bie aie fee ee ee ‘ion which ought to be remedied at jonce. Having assured to other coun- tries by treaty the protection of our laws for such of their subjects or citizens as we permit to come within our jurisdiction, we now leave to a sta*e or a city, not under the control of the federal government, a duty of performing our international — obliga- tions in this respect. By proper legis- lation we may, and ought to, place in the hands of the federal executive the means of enforcing the treaty rights of such aliens in the courts of the fed- eral government. It puts our govern- ment in a pusillanimous position to make definite engagements to protect aliens and then to excuse the failure to perform those engagements by an explanation that the duty to keep |them is in states or citfes, not within our control. If we would promise, we must put ourselves in a position to | perform our promise. We cannot per- | mit the possible failure of justice due |to local prejudice in any state or mu- nicipal government to expose us to |the risk of a war which might be avoided if federal jurisdiction was as- serted by suitable legislation by con- |gress and garried out by proper pro- ceedings instituted by the executive, in the courts of the national govern: | ment. | Monetary and Banking Laws. One of the reforms to be carried out during the incoming administra- tion is a change of our monetary and banking laws, so as to secure greater elasticity in the forms of currency available for trade, and to prevent the limitations of law from operating to inerease the embarrassments of ‘a financial panic. The monetary com- mission lately appointed is giving full | consideration to existing conditions and to all proposed remedies, and will doubtless suggest one that will meet the requirements of busiiless and of public interest. We may hope that the report will embody neither the nar- row view of those who believe that the sole purpose of the new system should be to secure a large return on bank- ing capital or of those who would ‘have greater expansion of currency with little regard to provisions for its immediate redemption or ultimate se- curity. There is no subject of eco- nomic discussion so intricate and so likely to evoke differing views and dogmatic statements as this one. The commission in studying the general in- fluence of currency on business and of business on currency, have wisely extended their Investigation in Euro- | pean banking and monetary methods. | Urges Postal Savings Banks. The incoming congress should promptly fulfill the promise of the Re- publican platform and pass a proper postal savingy bak bill. It will not be unwise or excessive paternalism. The promise to repay by the govern- ment will furnish an inducement to savings deposits which private enter- prise cannot supply, and at such a low rate of interest as not to withdraw custom from existing banks. It will substantially increase the funds Fier able for investment as capital in use- ful enterprises. It will furnish the absolute security which makes the proposed scheme of governmem guar- anty of deposits so alluring without its pernicious results. I sincerely hope that the incoming congress will be alive, as it should be, to the importance of our foreign trade and of encouraging {t in every way feasible. The possibility of increas- ing this trade in the orient, in the Philippines and in South America are | known to everyone who has given the matter attention. ‘The importance which the depart- ment of agriculture and of commerce and labor may play in ridding the markets of Europe of prohibitions and discriminations against the importa- tion of our products is fully under- stood, and it is hoped that the use of the maximum and minimum feature of our tariff law to be soon passed will be effective to remove many of those restrictions. The Panama Canal, The Panama canal will have a most Important bearing upon the trade be- tween the eastern and the far western sections of our country, and will great- ly increase the facilities for transpor- tation between the eastern and west- ern seaboard, and may possibly revo- lutionize the transcontinental rates with respect to bulky merchandise, It will also have a most beneficial effect to increase the trade between the east- ern seaboard of the United States and the western coast of South America, and, indeed, with some of the im- portant ports on the east coast of South America reached by rail from the west coast. The work on the lected. We are all in favor of having it built as promptly as possible. We must not now, therefore, keep up a fire in the rear of the agents whom we have authorized to do our work on the isthmus. We must hold up their hands, and speaking for the incoming administration, 1 wish to say that I Propose to devote all the energy pos: sible and under my control, to the pushing of this work on the plans which have been adopted, and to stand behind the men who are doing faithful hard work to bring about the early completion of this, the greatest con- structive enterprise of modern times. The governments of our dependen- cles in Porto Rico and the Philippines are progressing as favorably as could be desired. The prosperity of Porto Rico continues unabated. The busi- hess conditions in the Philippines are not all that we could wish them to be, but with the passage of the new tariff bill permitting free trade between the United States and the archipelago, with such limitations in sugar and to- bacco as shall prevent injury to the domestic interests on those products, we can count on an Improvement in business conditions in the Philippines and the development of a mutually profitable trad@ between this country and the islands. Meantime our gov- ernment in each dependency is up- holding the traditions of civil liberty and increasing popular control which might be expected under American au- spices. The work which we are doing there redounds to our credit as a na- tion. Cites Progress of Negroes. I look forward with hope to increas- ing the already good feeling between the ‘south and the other sections of the country. My chief purpose is not to effect a change in the electoral vote of the southern states. That je a sec- ondary consideration. What I look for- ward to is an increase in the tolerance of political views of all kinds and their advocacy throughout the south, and the existence of a respectable political opposition in every state; even more than this, to an increased feeling on the part of all the people in the south that this government is their govern- ment, and that its officers in their states are their officers. The consideration of this question cannot, however, be complete &nd full without reference to the negro race, Its progress and {ts present condition. The 13th amendment secured them freedom; the 14th amendment Jue process of law, protection of property and the pursuit of happiness; and the 15th amendment attempted to secure the negro against any deprivation of the priviliege to vote, because he was a negro. The 18th and 14th amend- ments have been generally enforced and have secured the objects for which they were intended. While the 16th amendment has not been gener- ally observed in the past, it ought to be observed, and the tendency of southern legislation to-day is toward the enactment of electoral qualifica- tions which shall square with that amendment. Of course, the mere adoption of a constitutional law is only one step in the right direction. It must be fairly and justly enforced as well. In time both will come, Hence it is clear to all that the dom- ination of an ignorant, irresponsible element can be prevented by consti- tutional laws which shall exclude from voting both negroes and whites not having education or other qualifica- tions thought to be necessary for a proper electorate. The danger of the control of an ignorant electorate has therefore passed. With this change, the interest which many of the south- ern white citizens take in the welfare of the negroes has increased. ‘The colored man must base their hope on the results of their own industry, self- restraint, thrift and business success, as well as upon the afd and comfort and sympathy which they may receive from their white nelghbors of the south. There was a time when north- erners who sympathized with the ne- gro in his necessary struggle for bet- ter conditions sought to give to him the suffrage as a protection, and to enforce its exercise against the pre- vailing sentiment of the south. The movement proved to be a failure. What remains is the 15th amendment to the constitution and the right to have statutes .of states specifying qualifications for electors subjected to the test of compliance with that amendment, This is a great protec- tion to the negro. It will never be re- pealed, and it never ought to be re- pealed, If it had not been passsed, it might be difficult now to adopt it: but ing out of it, they may well havo our profound sympathy and aid in the struggle they are making. We are charged with the sacred duty of mak- ing their path as smooth and easy as we can. Any recognition of their distinguished men, any appointment to office from among their number, is properly taken as an encouragement, and an appreciation of their progress, and this just policy shall be pursued. Sees Era of Better Feeling. But it may well admit of doubt whether, In the case of any race, an appointment of one of their number to a local office in a community in which the race feeling is so wide- spread and acute as to interfere with the ease and facility with which the local government business can be done by the appointee, is of sufficient benefit by way of encouragement to the race to outweigh the recurrence and increase of race feeling with such an appointment is likely to engender. ‘Therefore, the executive, in recogniz- ing the negro race by appointments, must exercise a careful discretion not thereby to do it more harm than good. On the other hand we must be careful not to encourage the mere pretense of race feeling manufactured in the in- terest of individual political ambition. Personajly I have not the slightest race prejudice or feeling, and recogni- tion of its existence only awakens in my heart a deeper sympathy for those who have to bear it or suffer from it, and I question the wicdom of a policy which is likely to increase it, Mean- time, if nothing is done to prevent, a better feeling between the negroes and the whites in the south will con- tinue to grow, and more and more of the white people will come to realize that the future of the south fs to be much benefited by the industrial and intellectual progress of the negro. The exercise of political franchises by those of his race who are intelligent and well-to-de will be acquiesced tn, and the right to vote will be withheld only from the ignorant and irrespons!- ble of both races. Labor Legislation. There is one other matter to which I shall refer. It was made the subject of great controversy during the elec- tion, and calls for at least a passing reference now. My distinguished prede- cessor has given much attention to the cause of labor, with whose struggle for better things he has shown the sin- cerest sympathy. At his instance, con- gress has passed the bill fixing the lia- bility of interstate carriers to their employes for injury sustained In the course of employment, abolishing the rule of fellow-servant and the common law rule as to contributory negligence. It has also passed a law fixing the compensation of government employes for injuries sustained in the employ of the government through the negli- gence of the superior. It also passed a mode! child labor law for the Dis- trict of Columbia. In previous admin- istrations an arbitrary law for inter- state commerce railroads and tgyr employes, and laws for the applica of safety devices to save the lives av limbs of employes of interstate rail- roads had been passed. Additional legislation of this kind was passed by the outgoing congress, I wish to say that in so far as I can, I hope to promote the enactment of further legislation of this charac- ter, Iam strongly convinced that the government should make itself as re- sponsible to employes injured in its employ as an interstate railway car- poration is made responsible by fed- eral law to its employes, Federal Injunctions Upheld. Another labor question has arisen which hws-awakened the most excited discussion. That is in respect to the power of the federal courts to issue m- | junctions in industrial disputes. As to that, my convictions are fixed. Take away from the courts, if it could be taken away, the power to issue in- junctions in labor disputes, and it would create a privileged class among the laborers and save the lawless among their number from a most need- ful remedy available to all men for the protection of their business against lawless invasion. The proposition that business is not a property or pe- cuniary right which can be protected by equitable injunction is utterly without foundation in precedent or reason. The proposition 1s usually linked with one to make the second- ary boycott lawful. Such a propost- tion is at varfance with the American instinct anc will find no support in my judgment when submitted to the American people. The secondary boy- cott is an instrument of tyranny, and ought not to be made legitimate. The issuing of a temporary restrain- ‘ing order without notice has in sev- eral instances been abused by its in- Booker T. Washington, in a recent address on honesty, told a story of a slave boy. "A smart, active boy slave," he said, "was put up for sale at the Memphis slave market. "Liking the lad's looks, and fearing that he might fall into the hands of a cruel master, a rich gentleman laid a friendly hand on his arm and said: "If I buy you, will you be honest?" "The boy answered calmly: "I will be honest, sir, whether you buy me or not." According to Hoyle "See here, Mister Casey," said Pat to the tax assessor, "shore and ye know the goat isn't worth $8." "Oi'm sorry," responded Casey, "but that is the law." Producing a book, he read the following passage: "All property abutting on Front street should be taxed at the rate of $2 per foot."—Success Magazine.

The national House of Representatives has voted almost unanimously in favor of their admission. Neither of these free Western commonwealths is apt to be afflicted with that puny sentiment which made racial distinctions easy under Oklahoma's first glow of independent statesmanship, but the Colored citizens of these territories should take an interest in the doings of their constitutional conventions and keep an eye open for fanatical possibilities. New Mexico is expected to be Republican and Arizona Democratic. AN ENGLISHMAN'S VIEW. THAT there will be no Colored question in the United States in twenty years, and that the difficulties of the problem at present are agravated by the ignorance and prejudices of the Southern whites, is the view of Sir Harry Johnston, an experienced British colonial administrator who has studied the black race both in Africa and on this continent, says the Literary Digest. He believes in their capacity as civilized, educated, and useful members of a white republic. The Southern white people have not sufficiently considered these points, he thinks, and we read in his summary of his investigations in the London Times: "‘The Negro is destined to be nothing but a hewer of wood and a drawer of water,’ is the parrot-ery that each untraveled, ignorant white Southern politician utters oratorically and in the press. Fortunately there are many thousand sane, educated, far-sighted white men and women in the South who know better. And all the time this stale nonsense is being repeated there are Negro doctors, electricians, botanists, agronomists, musicians, poets, preachers, teachers, lawyers, architects, masons, cabinet-makers, mechanicians and chemists at work giving the lie to this worn-out expression. It is the Southern white man and women who require a better education almost more than the Negro. When the South closes down all stale discussion of that indefensible Civil War and matches the physical beauty and vigor of its white population with an equally high mental development, the Negro problem in the United States will be finally solved and kept in a state of solution—assuming, of course, that the Negro likewise continues to advance on the lines laid down by the white and colored teachers of Tuskegee and Hampton." Upon this the London spectator comments as follows: "Sir Harry Johnston, who as administrator and scientific observer has watched the Negro carefully in Africa, tells us that the assumption by the Southern states of America that the Negro is 'a hopeless proposition' is based on no just evidence of any kind, that it is in fact wild prejudice, and that the effect of civilized surroundings on the American Negro is a recognizable improvement in the racial type. This type in America has higher moral and intellectual faculties than the original stock to be found in Africa, and these might easily be made higher still by humane and reasonable treatment. This conclusion is, of course, only in accordance with the long-established feelings and beliefs of Englishmen, but it is a satisfaction to have them encouraged and confirmed by so competent a witness as Sir Harry Johnston." These expressions are those of careful and competent students of sociological science, whose views are unclouded by prejudice or local proprieties. Their highly optimistic tone will put more faith into the Negro's heart and more virtue into his efforts to perform his part. TO ARREST RACIAL ENCROACHMENTS. THAT the white man is going to be driven out of this country one of these days, if he don't watch out, or at least, that his civilization is going to be supplanted by some other, imported from the lands of safronated and ebonized pigments, is the professed belief of affrighted, philosophical Caucasian heralds, who are sounding their loud warnings on the nation's parapets. Race questions will not down in America, but on the contrary, seem to increase rather than diminish, and to bring with them an ever-increasing flood of frenzy and fear. The agitation on the Pacific coast has been bulled for the present, upon the official promise of the outgoing administration that the greater authority of the nation will assume the responsibility of handling the matter in its largest and most comprehensive aspects, and thereby assure the citizens of those state whose locations naturally make them the victims of first contact, of a legal and scientific solution which shall amount to a defense upon which the entire nation may confidently rest. That President Roosevelt's statesmanship is loftier than that of those responsible for the anti-Japanese movement in California, is readily apparent, yet the fears of the home guard will not down. "The frontier of the white man's world must be established some day, somewhere," declares a California editor, writing in Collier's Weekly. "For all national sins save one there is forgiveness. That one we committed long ago when our forefathers brought in black men to live among white men. The curse of caste is on the South. There is a foreign body in the very vitals of the nation, which can be neither absorbed nor excised. At best we may hope to encyst it. The condition is incurable; our only hope is in the inherent vitality of the nation to prevent it from being fatal." There is not much encouragement in these expressions for those who look forward to a cosmopolitan nation on this continent, but there is rather a confession that the white race, in contact with other races on a fair and equal footing, cannot hold its own; that it must exclude, restrict and proscribe, in order to retain its racial integrity. But when the white man has absorbed Africa, and by that process lifted the vast racial stock of black men to a position of unrest and yearning, what is going to happen? Will the "white man's frontier" move back to the shore of the Mediterranean? Or is the idea of perpetual racial distinction and separation undergoing a change by virtue of the white man's long-practiced, criminal example of world exploitation? If the peril of racial adulteration in America is real and can be avoided, then America must shoulder the responsibility of teaching the world how to re-establish, readjust and fortify all those racial "frontier" boundaries which centuries of Caucasian encroachment have well-nigh obliterated. No Mystery in the New Doctrine of Silence By REV. THOMAS EDWARD BARR, Pastor Our's Church, Milwaukee. UCH is made in all the phases of spiritual teaching popularly classed as new thought, of the silence, the profit of entering into the silence. M This is not a mystery. It means a withdrawal in thought from the outer world, a contemplation of spiritual things, a quiet of soul. Our chief occupation is with the outer world, the clamorous confused world. We succeed in it only as we come to it from a quiet and ordered inner world, to which, for renewed strength, we frequently return. This power of entering into the silence is natural. Some happily born are so equably composed that it is easy for them to shut themselves away from the noisy world. For others it is most difficult. For none is it a perfected experience. Yet it is meant for all. In the silence we can hear the voice of conscience—not always reproachful but always instructive. In the silence our intuitions can illuminate our experience. In the silence the voices of our departed can come in memory at least, for counsel and comfort. Only in the silence can we feel the presence of God, the sense of indwelling and girding our impatience. In the silence come the three gifts of life—calm, insight, control. When the inner world is quieted, when we perceive the relation of the inner world to the outer life, when we have control of the inner world, then we may hope to understand and control the outer life. The steps of growth in this life in the silence are simple and direct, but not easy, for they go to the root of the problem of character building. We must realize the inner world as a fact. That thought life is a reality as much as the outside world and closer to us. We must realize the need in the outer world for some supreme, interpretative, directive influence; and that this is furnished by the inner life. The little segment of nature and life with which each one deals presents itself confused and meaningless until we apply the key of understanding and so bring it to order and control. The life in the silence is not a repudiation of the world, as Hindu asceticism has it, but a withdrawal from the world for recovery of poise, for vision and instruction, for renewal of strength, so that we may return to the world better equipped for all it demands. Cut the head off pluck and you have luck, a thing of different color altogether and one which is disclaimed, disowned, repudiated, ignored by pluck. The latter never looks to the former for assistance, but depends solely on itself. Pluck That Wins Success By DR. MADISON C. PETERS, Author, Lecturer and Preacher. Luck shows favoritism, pluck never does; it only casts its mantle over those who have the spirit and encourage to depend upon their own exertions to bring them to the front by honest endeavor. But luck exhibits such a partiality that no one can tell on whom it may shower its favors without any regard to the merits or deserts of the recipient. Offtimes the least worthy come in for its choicest gifts. There never was a time in the world's history when pluck was as necessary to success as now. The competition is so fierce that truly the race is only to the swift and the battle to the strong. There are contestants for every prize and only the competent and qualified can hope to bear them off. Business is filled with eager, anxious competitors, the professions are crowded to repletion, and in both centers of endeavor only those of pluck and patience can hope to withstand the strain and win out in the end. Yet there is still room at the top, but you cannot expect to reach there if you are content to pull and jostle and argue and wrangle at the bottom. You must get a move on, grit your teeth, and say: "I will." Remember that you cannot be carried to success in a carriage with the hinges oiled, the backs padded, and the seats cushioned; you must trudge on foot along the dusty highway. PETER H. BURGESS If you are not willing to take off your coat and work like a man you must either be a loafer on your friends and relations or marry an heiress. The heiress who will take you, however, will be as wanting in good sense as you are in clear grit. A play may be technically well written, follow all the recognized rules of construction, tell an interesting story and by means of excellently drawn and naturally developed characters and yet fail. I will tell you why, in my judgment, it does so. Why Some Plays Fail By DANIEL FROHMAN. Plays Fail Because, in spite of all its good qualities, some of which I have enumerated, the play lacks dramatic vitality. It has no genuine theatrical interest. The play is for the theater-first, last and all the time. Broaden the interests of the stage as far as you will, they remain, for successful plays, extremely circumstantial. The new interests you have added, if they constitute the heart of a drama, will not give it life. The vital interests of a play are and will always remain elemental. The most sophisticated writer—he with the widest knowledge of life, cannot write a successful play without appealing to emotions that are primitive in us all. In running over the brief list of successful writers for the stage you may think of some who are exceptions to this rule. But a close analysis of their pieces will prove that, artfully concealing art as they do, their appeal is made elementally just the same. [Illustration of a man in a suit and tie]. An inevitable subject—one that everybody is interested in—must be the heart of a play, pumping life all through it. Love is one universal subject that all races of all ages have agreed upon is a theme for the theater. It is not the only one—but the others that will occur as theatrical schemes for successful exploitation are as universal and elemental. S & N GARMENT STORE 925-16TH ST. - OPP.

Take 25 cents' worth round steak, cut in cubes and brown same as for a pot roast. When brown, cover with boiling water, then slice one large onion, one clove of garlic, one bay leaf, three or four large red peppers, one can of tomatoes and season with salt. Stew slowly for three hours. When the meat is tender strain the chili sauce off and thicken with brown flour. Keep hot on back of stove. To prepare the tortillas, take one quart of flour, a large spoonful of lard, teaspoonful of salt; moisten with water for biscuits. Take a piece of the dough as large as an egg and roll out the size of a breakfast plate. When you have a half dozen rolled, you may begin to bake—by frying in deep fat in a frying pan. Do not try brown; the fat must not be so hot as for doughnuts. Proceed until all the dough is used, which will make about a dozen tortillas. Now have ready the meat, chopped fine, six large onions, one pound grated (ball) cheese. Have the chili sauce hot, dip the tortillas in one at a time; place on a large hot platter, sprinkle with cheese. On one half place a little meat, onions, olives, sliced hard boiled eggs and pour a spoonful of sauce over it, and fold over the other half of the tortillas. Proceed in this manner until all are filled; pour over what sauce remains and sprinkle a little grated cheese over all. Place in the oven for ten minutes; then take out and garnish with lettuce, olives and sliced hard boiled eggs. Serve. Delicious. RECIPE FOR APPLE CHARLOTTE. As a Delicacy for Dessert This Has Few Equals. Peel and core a pound of baking apples. Put them in a pan, with a little butter, cover and simmer with the grated peel of half a lemon; when stewed soft mash with a wooden spoon and add sugar according to taste. To be successful this marmalade has to be very thick. Have a cylindric pudding mould, well buttered. Cut some slices of stale bread, remove the crust, shape them into rectangles about one and a half inch broad and as long as the depth of the mould. Dip in a little melted butter and place them all around the mould, overlapping each other. Cover the bottom with small triangles of well-buttered bread. When done put the apples in, cover with another slice of bread and bake for one hour in a rather slow oven. When ready to serve turn upside down on a dish and mould out. Serve with a little cream or with a little apricot sirup, easily made with jam, cleared with a drop of water and passed through a fine conander. Turkey Rolls and Soup. Melt three tablespoons butter, blend in three tablespoons flour, add gradually 1½ cups turkey stock. Season to taste with pepper, salt and celery salt. Stir until smooth and thick and add 1½ cups chopped turkey. Remove the middle from crisp rolls, fill with the prepared mixture, place in oven until hot and serve. If you have some left-over gravy, thicken it a bit more, add about a tablespoon of butter and use in place of the first three named articles, as one does not often have the stock. You can get about 1½ cups of turkey from the carcass after the rest of the turkey is eaten, then break up carcass, put in a granite dish, add two onions, one cup rice, pieces of celery, also season with celery salt, salt and pepper. Cover with cold water and let cook slowly four or five hours and you have a delicious soup. Favorite Mold. Take a third of a pint of milk and in a small quantity of it dissolve a quarter of an ounce of gelatin. When it has soaked some time, add the beaten yolk of an egg and an ounce of sugar. Bring the rest of the milk to the boil and pour it over the gelatin, stir well and let the mixture boil again. Directly it reaches the boiling point pour over the beaten white of an egg. Mix the whole thoroughly and pour into a mold. The mold must not be stirred or shaken till cold and look like a thick cream, surmounted with a clear jelly. Onion Egg. Boil one dozen eggs quite hard, slice and fry in butter six large onions, slice ten of the eggs, keeping two of them for seasoning; drain the fried onions and lay on a dish with the sliced eggs placed over them; cover the dish and keep hot. Grate the yolks of the remaining two eggs and mix with sweet cream, a little grated nutmeg, and a little red pepper. Boil this mixture in a small saucepan one minute, pour over the eggs and onions, and send to the table hot. Oyster in Bacon Rolls. Have at hand bacon cut in slices one-half inch thick. Drain and dry in a napkin the required amount of oysters, lay two or three on each slice of bacon, dust with pepper, roll up and fasten with tiny skewers or tie with cord. Place the rolls on a baking sheet and bake in a brisk oven for 15 or 20 minutes. By the time the oysters are sufficiently cooked the bacon will be crisp and free of grease. White Loaf Cake. Cream together one-half of a cupful of butter and one and one-half cupfuls of sugar. Add one-half of a cupful of milk, one scant teaspoonful of almond extract and two cupfuls of sifted flour. Beat well, add the whipped whites of four eggs and one heaping teaspoonful of baking powder. Beat again and bake in a moderate oven.

DENVER DAILY RECORD OF EVENTS TRANSPIRING AT STATE CAPITAL Bills That Passed the House. In the House on Tuesday, the 2nd Inst., the following bills were passed on third reading, going to the Senate: S. C. R. No. 11, Drake—Granting right to State Agricultural College and State Normal School to participate in Carnegie fund for the advancement of teaching. H. B.

Five bills presented to the Senate to pay for damages to Western Federation of Miners' property during the troubles in Cripple Creek have been consolidated into two bills by the senate committee on finance. Horace N. Hawkins, attorney for the federation, appeared before the committee with numerous amendments he had to propose to the bills, which were introduced by Senator Casaday. These amendments confine into one bill the four demands of the Western Federation for damages, and into another bill the demand of the miners' union building association. A section is added providing that none of the accounts shall be paid until the state auditing board has passed upon the claims presented. Mr. Hawkins pointed out that there would be a chance to have the bills declared defective and void unless some such provision was incorporated. Civil Service Bills There are several bills before the Senate and House now in regards to the civil service law. One provides for the abolishment of the act and another, prepared by attorneys of the civil service commission, suggests that wardens of the penitentiary and reformatory should have to pass an examination by the board before they could accept an appointment by the governor. Governor Shafroth has been in favor of a direct appointing power without examination and this will be the measure advocated by the party leaders and having the indorsement of the governor in the Legislature. House Approves Game Bill. After fighting for the better part of three days over the Dunn bill to amend the fish and game laws, the House finally adopted the report of the committee of the whole and approved the bill on second reading with but few changes from the present statute. The bill increases the number of special game wardens in the open season on deer from ten to twenty, and makes the open season October 1st to October 10th. It establishes a fishing license of $2 per year for non-residents and makes the open season on trout May 25th to November 30th, opening five days earlier than at present. Practically all day was spent by the house in fighting over the question whether a license should be charged for fishing. The bill as drawn provided a $1 license for residents of Colorado and $2 for non-residents. Nearly every member orated one way or the other and in committee of the whole both licenses were accepted. When the committee rose, the fight was waged all over again. Long moved to strike out the enacting clause. His motion was lost, however, and finally, through the efforts of Goodfriend of Leadville, the resident fishing license was killed. Compliment Ex-Lieutenant Governor. In the Senate Tuesday Former Lieutenant Governor Harper was presented with a handsomely engrossed copy of the complimentary resolution adopted by the Senate at the close of his term of office. The presentation was made by Senator Campbell, who paid high tribute to the former presiding officer's fairness to the obstructive Democratic minority in the last session. Mr. Harper with tears in his eyes expressed his gratitude for the kindly feelings of his former associates. Cost of State Institutions: In point of per capita expense the state institutions of Colorado are nearly all operated for less money than many of the other state institutions of the country. The biennial report of the State Board of Charities and Correction, which will shortly be issued, contains interesting comparisons which bring out this fact and many others favorable to the home institutions. The statistics upon which the figures are based were collected by Mrs. Anna G. Williams, assistant secretary of the board, and include reports from nearly a score of states. During the last biennial period the 651 inmates of the penitentiary at Canon City cost the state $153.80 each. At the two California prisons the per capita cost was $178.66. At the Idaho penitentiary the cost of maintenance for each inmate was $203.86. The inmates of the Connecticut prison cost that state $146.58 each.

Osteopathic Board. Under the provisions of Senator Casaday's bill, which passed the Senate on second reading, the governor appoints an examining board of five members of the osteopathic school. After the life of the first board the terms are to run for five years. The osteopaths are expressly forbidden to practice surgery or administer medicines except antiseptics or poison antidotes. Defining Daily Newspapers. In committee of the whole Tuesday the following passed second reading: Senator DeLong's bill to define a daily newspaper. Irby's bill to provide for facilitating special improvements in incorporated towns and Gove's bill concerning acknowledgments to deeds and other papers executed in foreign lands and making them when submitted under proper seal prima facie evidence in all courts. Registration Bills. Three bills to change the registration laws of the state and to provide additional protection against false registration have been placed on the calendar. One is by Senator Scott and two are by Senator Irby. The Scott bill was drafted by Judge Ben B. Lindsey, and proposes an entirely new registration law to reach every political subdivision of the state. Widens Scope of Initiative A bill by Senator Croke is aimed to facilitate the operation of the initiative and referendum law by providing for contests on franchise and other elections dealing with questions of public policy. Another bill by Senator Croke defines a taxpaying elector and is intended to prevent the voting of bogus taxpayers by the corporations interested in franchise grabs. More Employes Allowed. In the Senate on the 2d inst. Lieutenant Governor Fitzgerald announced that the governor had signed house bill 382 providing for additional employees for the two houses of the Legislature. He named Miss Elsie Vandergraf as Senate reporter, Lillian H. Johnson, president's stenographer, and Helen Marzof assignable clerk under the provisions of the bill. Roads and Bridges Bills. Sixty-eight bills reported by the House Committee on Roads and Bridges call for the spending of about $550,000, and the committee expects to have about $90,000 to apportion. There is altogether about $160,000 in the state road and bridges fund, which is to be divided between Senate and House, about 65 per cent going to the latter. Anti-Boycott Law Stands. The House on the 2nd inst. killed Representative Garman's bill to repeal the anti-boycott law. The vote stood 31 to 25 for striking out the enacting clause. Civil Service Amendment. Two main amendments to the civil service law are recommended in the report of the special committee appointed by Governor Shafroth to draft opinions as to the constitutionality of the act. The recommendations are that the wardens of the penitentiary and the reformatory should not be under the civil service and that all state employees coming under civil service regulations should take examinations every two years, or whenever the general elections bring in a new set of executives.

The lovely violet in all {ts shades will once more be placed to the fore and in such various forms can {t be presented that it {s safe to predict that {t will assume {ts old- time place as a favorite with well- dressed women. From the fat double violet in satin or velvet to the single tremulous pur- ple flower nodding on its threadlike stalk, as it grows wild in the flelds, the product of the handiwork of the French flowermaker, all sorts will be seen, No domestic product equals the fine French violets; so natural are the latter that one almost leans to in. hale their fragrance, Always are these done in the single flowers. Of course, some of the velvet gar- den violets also come from France, but the thicker, clumsier flowers are also made here. Lilacs in white and thelr own tav- ender hues, and in yellow as well, will be used with roses and violets. Wistarla is again to be much used, and fine wistarla In natural tones 1s one of the most artistic possible trim: ‘mings for large, flat hats. Fine wistarfa blooms are expensive; ‘the cheap should never—under any ctr: cumstances—be used. They are made {n all colors. Roses, as usual, will be used galore, and pansles, too, in wonderful new tones will be seen. The Shirred Sleeves. In this day of mousquetaire sleeves ft is a problem how to make them so that they will look shirred and yet pe quite secure. Furthermore, when they are made of wash net or other washable fabrics {t 1s almost impossible to launder them If they are made in the usual way. One clever woman has found that the inside seam of the sleeve may be made like a French seam, through which a tape may be run. The tape should be a little longer than the sleeve {s when pulled out to its full length. The seam for the second drawstring may be taken up on the outer side of the sleeve, ana through this also a tape may be run. When the dress is worn the string may be drawn up to the armhole until the sleeve is the correct lengta and then the cord may be tied up inside. When {t is time to Inunder them tne strings may be untied, the sleeves vulled out to their full length and the work thus made easy. Mitton! THmining.

Formed of one breadth of white silk seemed the skirt, drawn about the slim figure to button at one side of the back under large flat buttons covered with violet velvet. A wide sash of violet silk circled the waist at the normal line, knotting at the opposite side of the back, falling in long, heavily fringed ends; the fringe showed nine or ten inches of netted heading. Over the shoulders, shaping a square back and front of the bodice, over a tulle chemisette, were bands of silk dotted with buttons and pointed with tassels.—From a Paris Letter to Vogue. An Iridescént Shutter. A very interesting inside window screen idea is the tridescent glass shutter. The glass is mounted and hinged to the inside of the window frame, covering about thrce-quurters of the lower sash as a more perma lar substitute for the pgpular short curtain. ‘Through the daytime the delicate colors are visible in the {nterlor, and when the room {s lighted after dusk there ts a beautiful iridescence from an outside viewpoint. ‘ara at AE.

Allows for Effective Display on Com. paratively Small Outlay. To the superficial observed the di- rectolre gown seems costly, but girls who seek ways to dress themselves well for the least possible outlay. pro: nounce the directoire a godsend. “Take a satin princess slip of apricot or salm- on pink or a delicate shade of blue and yellow and see what you ean do,” said a clever girl recently. “Put over the lining a blue tulle or chiffon and the shimmering effect is Nkened to moonlight. Add pearls of crystals to the corsage and the result fs a Doucet gown at a broadway price. Black lace. white lace and cream lace all look well over the satin. With a few acces. sories, the effect is varied for every oc caston. No girl can get on without six evening gowns. Four may be made with one well fitted lining and with thought bestowed on the outer por tions. Two others may be combined with empire dinner or reception gowns. With yokes these answer for the afternoon as well as for the dance or the play. With every gown the up- to-date girl has her hair ornaments and her gloves and slippers. These trifles now count more for the well Kot up woman than the mere gown does. To be harmonious down to the last thread {s our ambition.” IDEA IN BLOUSE DESIGN.

Denver, ae Colorado, Roe hit ey sy § ee 5 Pea Tete | i ge MEMORIAL CHURCH IN MEMORY OF DUNBAR According to report,’ Dayton [will honor the memory of its fam- lous Negro poet, Paul Laurence Dunbar, by erecting a memcrial church to cost $100,000. The movement is fostered by the A. M, E. connection, one of the most in- fluential Negro churches of the country, It is thought that Book- er T. Washington and other prom- inent Negroes will aid in making the memory of Dunbar more per- manent in the minds of Negroes and men generally It is fitting that Dayton, his home city, should take such a step. It will mean much for the upper side of the race, since it will stand for en- couragement and appreciation in the things that count faster in the making of a people. Dunbar de- serves the recognition. No poet that we know of had a greater right to be culled poet. He had the poet’s essentials as we read of. them in history, biography and through their songs. Nature did well for the ebony-hued son, nor did the world fail to take note of him. It will be a proud, proud day for the Negroes of America when-such un edifice as contemplated rears upward, attesting to high heaven that such a one grovelled here bes low, who in thought was as high and noble as the ambitious spies may be. ‘he race stands in need of such incentives, truly honoring those truly worthy. We have been given overmuch to the show and tinsel of life, rather than the rich, enduring things. Itis to be hoped that honor to the gifted Dunbar take some tangible form; ifnot ina great church, then in some shaft, or tahlet—something to punctuate along the miles to the whereof the great expected. Dunbar was preeminently of his own race; not much “foreign” ‘blood on which to draw for inspir- ation or intelligence. He was en- dowed aright, saw things through the eyes of intellect; was careful in discernment. No earmarks to distinguish his pages from these of the best among us with no color question in it. He excelled at dia- lect until he touched on the lyric; then he excelled there. In fact, his dialect simply masked his beautiful truths, beautiful ex- pressions and beautiful disern- ment. ‘Those poems were also lyrics, lyrics where abounded the quaint ways and conceits of his own people. This same rare dis- cernment was able to discover something interesting and amas- ing amid all the rubbish of folk- lore, backwoods’ simplicity, that proceeds pure gold. His etories left no stings, even when heard by the most exacting. Others essay- ing Negro dialect have not been able to hold the reader of the sweetest temper all through their productions. He knew what to say at alltimes. Old Uncle Joe and Aunt Chloe rejoice with the rest in the refreshing takeoffs on their peculiarities. Here was Dunbar’s greatest secret of success aside from his recognized ability. — Freeman. Wm. Douglass of Ohio has in- vented a binding attachment for harvesters which will do away with the expense of twine to bind the bundles of yrain, for which straw bands will be substituted.
