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, 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.

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 Definite Announcement That Extra Session of Congress Will Be Called to Consider Tariff Revision---Postal Savings Bank Is to Be Pushed----Other Recommendations. Washington, March 4.—President Taft's inaugural address, delivered 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 is about to enter, or he is lacking in a proper sense of the obligation which the oath imposes. The office of an inaugural address is to give a summary outline of the main policies of the new administration, so far as they can be anticipated. I have had the honor to be one of the advisers of my distinguished predecessor, and as such, to hold up his hands in the reforms he has initiated. I 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 directed to the suppression of the lawlessness and abuses of power of the great combinations of capital invested in railroads and in industrial enterprises carrying on interstate commerce. The steps which my predecessor took and the legislation passed on his recommendation have accomplished much, have caused a general halt in the vicious policies which created popular alarm, and have brought about in the business affected, a much higher regard for existing law. To render the reforms lasting, however, and to secure at the same time freedom from alarm on the part of those pursuing proper and progressive business methods, further legislative and executive action are needed. Relief of the railroads from certain restrictions 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 legislation looking to a proper federal supervision and restriction to prevent excessive issues of bonds and stocks by companies owning and operating interstate commerce railroads. Then, too, a reorganization of the department of justice, of the bureau of corporations in the department of commerce and labor, and of the interstate 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 departments concerned in their enforcement. It is believed that with the changes to be recommended, American business can be assured of that measure of stability and certainty in respect to those things that may be done and those that are prohibited, which is essential to the life and growth of all business. Such a plan must include the right of the people to avail themselves of those methods of combining capital and effort deemed necessary to reach the highest degree of economic efficiency, at the same time differentiating between combinations based upon legitimate economic reasons and those formed with the intent of creating monopolies and artificially controlling prices. The work of formulating into practical shape such changes is creative work of the highest order, and requires all the deliberation possible in the interval. I believe that the amendments to be proposed are just as necessary in the protection of legitimate business as in the clinching of the reforms which properly bear the name of my predecessor. Extra Session for March 15. A matter of most pressing importance is the revision of the tariff. In accordance with the promises of the platform upon which I was eected, 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 Dingley act. This should secure an adequate revenue and adjust the duties in such a manner as to afford to labor and to all industries in this country, whether on the farm, mine or factory, protection by tariff equal to the difference between the cost of production abroad and the cost of production here, and have a provision which shall put into force, upon executive determination of certain facts, a higher or maximum tariff against those countries whose trade policy toward us equitably requires such discrimination. It is thought that there has been such a change in conditions since the enactment of the Dingley act, drafted on a similarly protective principle, that the measure of the tariff above stated will permit the reduction 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 to lead the business community to count upon it, necessarily halts all those branches of business directly affected, and as these are most important, it disturbs the whole business of the country. It is imperatively necessary, therefore, that a tariff bill be drawn in good faith in accordance with promises made before the election 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 respect to anti-trust legislation and interstate commerce regulation, but the need for action when the revision of the tariff has been determined upon, is more immediate to avoid embarrassment of business. To secure the needed speed in the passage of the tariff bill, it would seem wise to attempt no other legislation at the extra session. I venture this as a suggestion only, for the course to be taken by congress, upon the call of the executive, is wholly within its discretion. For Graduated Inheritance Tax. In the making of a tariff bill, the prime motive is taxation, and the securing 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 receipts by $100,000,000. It is imperative that such a deficit shall not continue, 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 duties, new kinds of taxation must be adopted, and among these I recommend 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 economical as possible, and to make the burden of taxation as light as possible, is plain and should be affirmed in every declaration of government policy. This is especially true when we are face to face with a heavy deficit. But when the desire to win the popular approval leads to the cutting off of expenditures really needed to make the government effective, and to enable it to accomplish its proper objects, the result is as much to be condemned 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 information derived from them for the improvement of general agriculture, must go on. The importance of supervising business of great railways and industrial combinations, and the necessary investigation and prosecution of unlawful 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 shall secure the conservation of our resources, so far as they may be within the jurisdiction of the federal government, including the most important work of saving and restoring our forests, and the general improvement of waterways, are all proper government functions which must involve large expenditure if properly performed. 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 cannot be expected of them. A permanent improvement, like 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 the benefits derived. It may well be submitted to the serious consideration of congress whether the deepening and control of the channel 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 provided for in the same way. Then, too, there are expenditures of government absolutely necessary if our country is to maintain its proper place among the nations of the world. and is to exercise its proper influence in defense of its own trade interests, in the maintenance of traditional American policy against the colonization of European monarchies in this hemisphere, and in the promotion of peace and international morality. I refer to the cost of maintaining a proper army, a proper navy and suitable fortifications upon the mainland of the United States and in its dependencies. We should have an army so organized, and so officered, as to be capable in time of emergency, in co-operation with the national 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 a respectable expeditionary force, if necessary, in the maintenance of our traditional 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 insufficient. 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 attack, and by that time we may hope that the men to man them will be provided as a necessary adjunct. The distance of our shores from Europe and Asia of course reduces the necessity for maintaining under arms a great army, but it does not take away the requirement of mere prudence, that we should have an army sufficiently large and so constituted as to form a nucleus out of which a suitable force can quickly grow. What has been said of the army may be affirmed in even a more emphatic way of the navy. A modern navy cannot be improvised. It 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 commensurate with the coast line, the governmental resources and the foreign trade of our nation; and I wish to reiterate all the reasons which he has presented in favor of the policy of maintaining a strong navy as the best conservator of our peace with other nations and the best means of securing respect for the assertion of our rights, the defense of our interests and the exercise of our influence in international matters. Our international policy is always to promote peace. We shall enter into any war with a full consciousness 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 interest, to avoid a resort to arms. We favor every instrumentality, like that of The Hague tribunal and arbitration treaties made with a view to its use in all international controversies, in order to maintain peace and to avoid war. But we should be blind to existing conditions, and should allow ourselves to become foolish idealists, if we did not realize that with all the nations of the world armed and prepared for war, we must be ourselves in a similar condition, in order to prevent other nations from taking advantage of us and of our inability to defend our interests and assert our rights with a strong hand. In the international controversies that are likely to arise in the orient, growing out of the question of the open door and other issues, the United States can maintain her interests' intact and can secure respect for her just demands. She will not be able to do so, however, if it is understood that she never intends to back up her assertion 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 something which the government must pay for, and they should not be cut off through mere consideration of economy. Our government is able to afford 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 regard. The policy of the United States in the Spanish war, and since, has given it a position of influence among the nations that it never had before, and should be constantly exerted to securing to its bona fide citizens, whether native or naturalized, respect for them as such in foreign countries. We should make every effort to prevent humiliating and degrading prohibition against any of our citizens wishing temporarily to sojourn in foreign countries, because of race or religion. Defect in Federal Jurisdiction. The admission of Asiatic immigrants who can not be amalgamated with our 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 unnecessary friction and by mutual concessions between self-respecting governments. Meantime, we must take every precaution to prevent, or, failing that, to punish outbursts of race feeling among our people against foreigners 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 defect in the present federal jurisdiction which ought to be remedied at once. Having assured to other countries 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 state or a city, not under the control of the federal government, a duty of performing our international obligations in this respect. By proper legislation 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 federal government. It puts our government in a pusillanlmous 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 cities, not within our control. If we would promise, we must put ourselves in a position to perform our promise. We cannot permit the possible failure of justice due to local prejudice in any state or municipal government to expose us to the risk of a war which might be avoided if federal jurisdiction was asserted by suitable legislation by congress and carried out by proper proceedings instituted by the executive, in the courts of the national government. Monetary and Banking Laws. One of the reforms to be carried out during the incoming administration 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 increase the embarrassments of 'a financial panic. The monetary commission 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 business and of public interest. We may hope that the report will embody neither the narrow view of those who believe that the sole purpose of the new system should be to secure a large return on banking capital or of those who would have greater expansion of currency with little regard to provisions for its immediate redemption or ultimate security. There is no subject of economic discussion so intricate and so likely to evoke differing views and dogmatic statements as this one. The commission in studying the general influence of currency on business and of business on currency, have wisely extended their investigation in European banking and monetary methods. Urges Postal Savings Banks. The incoming congress should promptly fulfill the promise of the Republican platform and pass a proper postal saving bank bill. It will not be unwise or excessive paternalism. The promise to repay by the government will furnish an inducement to savings deposits which private enterprise cannot supply, and at such a low rate of interest as not to withdraw custom from existing banks. It will substantially increase the funds available for investment as capital in useful enterprises. It will furnish the absolute security which makes the proposed scheme of government guaranty 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 it in every way feasible. The possibility of increasing 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 department of agriculture and of commerce and labor may play in ridding the markets of Europe of prohibitions and discriminations against the importation of our products is fully understood, 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 between the eastern and the far western sections of our country, and will greatly increase the facilities for transportation between the eastern and western seaboard, and may possibly revolutionize the transcontinental rates with respect to bulky merchandise. It will also have a most beneficial effect to increase the trade between the eastern seaboard of the United States and the western coast of South America, and, indeed, with some of the important ports on the east coast of South America reached by rail from the west coast. The work on the canal is making most satisfactory progress. The type of the canal as a lock canal was fixed by congress after a full consideration of the conflicting reports of the majority and minority of the consulting board, and after the recommendation of the war department and the executive upon those reports. Recent suggestion that something had occurred on the isthmus to make the lock type of the canal less feasible than it was supposed to be when the reports were made and the policy determined on, led to a visit to the isthmus of a board of competent engineers to examine the Gatun dam and locks which are the key of the lock type. The report of that board shows that nothing has occurred in the nature of newly revealed evidence which should change the views once formed in the original discussion. The construction will go on under a most effective organization controlled by Col. Goethals and his fellow army engineers associated with him, and will certainly be completed early in the next administration, if not before. Some type of canal must be con- Some type of canal must be constructed. The lock type has been se- 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, I wish to say that I propose to devote all the energy possible 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 constructive enterprise of modern times The governments of our dependencies in Porto Rico and the Philippines are progressing as favorably as could be desired. The prosperity of Porto Rico continues unabated. The business 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 tobacco 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 trade between this country and the islands. Meantime our government in each dependency is upholding the traditions of civil liberty and increasing popular control which might be expected under American auspices. The work which we are doing there redounds to our credit as a nation. Cites Progress of Negroes. I look forward with hope to increasing 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 is a secondary consideration. What I look forward 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 government, and that its officers in their states are their officers. The consideration of this question cannot, however, be complete and full without reference to the negro race, its progress and its present condition. The 13th amendment secured them freedom; the 14th amendmentJue 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 privilege to vote, because he was a negro. The 13th and 14th amendments have been generally enforced and have secured the objects for which they were intended. While the 15th amendment has not been generally observed in the past, it ought to be observed, and the tendency of southern legislation to-day is toward the enactment of electoral qualifications 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 domination of an ignorant, irresponsible element can be prevented by constitutional laws which shall exclude from voting both negroes and whites not having education or other qualifications 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 southern 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 aid and comfort and sympathy which they may receive from their white neighbors of the south. There was a time when northerners who sympathize with the negro in his necessary struggle for better conditions sought to give to him the suffrage as a protection, and to enforce its exercise against the prevailing 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 protection to the negro. It will never be repealed, and it never ought to be repealed. If it had not been passed, it might be difficult now to adopt it; but with it in our fundamental law, the policy of southern legislation must and will tend to obey it, and so long as the statutes of the states meet the test of this amendment and are not otherwise in conflict with the constitution and laws of the United States, it is not the disposition or within the province of the federal government to interfere with the regulation by southern states of their domestic affairs. There is in the south a stronger feeling than ever among the intelligent, well-to-do and influential element in favor of the industrial education of the negro and the encouragement of the race to make themselves useful members of the community. The progress which the negro has made in the last 50 years from slavery, when its statistics are reviewed, is marvelous, and it furnishes every reason to hope that in the next 25 years a still greater improvement in his condition as a productive member of society, on the farm, and in the shop and in other occupations, may come. The negroes are now Americans. Their ancestors came here years ago against their will, and this is their only country and their only flag. They have shown themselves anxious to live for it and willing to die for it. Encountering the race feeling against them, sub jected at times to cruel injustice growing out of it, they may well have our profound sympathy and aid in the struggle they are making. We are charged with the sacred duty of making 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. See 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 widespread and acute as to interfere with the case 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 recognizing 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 interest of individual political ambition. Personally I have not the slightest race prejudice or feeling, and recognition 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 wisdom of a policy which is likely to increase it. Meantime, if nothing is done to prevent, a better feeling between the negroes and the whites in the south will continue to grow, and more and more of the white people will come to realize that the future of the south is 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-do will be acquiesced in, and the right to vote will be withheld only from the ignorant and irresponsible 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 election, and calls for at least a passing reference now. My distinguished predecessor has given much attention to the cause of labor, with whose struggle for better things he has shown the sincerest sympathy. At his instance, congress has passed the bill fixing the liability of interstate carriers to their employees 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 employees for injuries sustained in the employ of the government through the negligence of the superior. It also passed a model child labor law for the District of Columbia. In previous administrations an arbitrary law for interstate commerce railroads and their employees, and laws for the application of safety devices to save the lives and limbs of employees of interstate railroads 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 character. I am strongly convinced that the government should make itself as responsible to employees injured in its employ as an interstate railway corporation is made responsible by federal law to its employees. Federal Injunctions Upheld. Another labor question has arisen which has awakened the most excited discussion. That is in respect to the power of the federal courts to issue injunctions 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 injunctions in labor disputes, and it would create a privileged class among the laborers and save the lawless among their number from a most needful remedy available to all men for the protection of their business against lawless invasion. The proposition that business is not a property or pecuniary right which can be protected by equitable injunction is utterly without foundation in precedent or reason. The proposition is usually linked with one to make the secondary boycott lawful. Such a proposition is at variance with the American instinct and will find no support in my judgment when submitted to the American people. The secondary boycott is an instrument of tyranny, and ought not to be made legitimate. The issuing of a temporary restraining order without notice has in several instances been abused by its inconsiderate exercise, and to remedy this, the platform upon which I was elected recommends the formulation in a statute of the conditions under which such a temporary restraining order ought to issue. A statute can and ought to be framed to embody the best modern practice, and can bring the subject so closely to the attention of the court as to make abuses of the process unlikely in the future. American people, if I understand them, insist that the authority of the courts shall be sustained and are opposed to any change in the procedure by which the powers of a court may be weakened and the fearless and effective administration of justice be interfered with. Having thus reviewed the questions likely to recur during my administration, and having expressed in a summary way the position which I expect to take in recommendations to congress and in my conduct as an executive, I invoke the considerate sympathy and support of my fellow citizens, and the aid of Almighty God in the discharge of my responsible duties 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.

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. The Pueblo asylum averaged a daily population of 818 during the last period, and the per capita cost was $142.24. The per capita cost for California for the same class of dependents was $172.59; District of Columbia, $175.82; Idaho, $192.81; Kansas, $151.38 for the Osawatomte asylum and $147.20 for the Topeka asylum. Illinois has seven insane asylums, including one for the criminal insane. The per capita cost for the latter was $172.03, while the tothers ranged from $150.53 down to $115. At the Industrial School for Boys at Golden the per capita cost was $181.50 for 325 boys. For a similar institution in the District of Columbia the cost was $200.98. The Colorado industrial School for Girls averaged $262.79 for sixty-two inmates, while in the District of Columbia the cost was $277.75 The per capita cost for other Colorado institutions, including the State Home for Dependent and Neglected Children, is $158.50 for 199 children; $261.19 for 158 inmates of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Home; School for Deaf and Blind; $462.27 for 165 inmates; reformatory; $279.52 for 163 boys. 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.

CURE MARKING THE SANTA FE TRAIL MONUMENT UNVEILED AT TRINI DAD BY OLDEST DAUGHTER OF KIT CARSON. IMPOSING EXERCISES PRESENTATION BY STATE REGENT OF. DAUGHTERS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION. Trinidad, Colo.—With Mrs. Theresa Allen, oldest daughter of Kit Carson; Charles Carson and two granddaughters of the famous scout named Woods, of La Junta, as the connecting link between the primitive days of the West and the advanced civilization of the present day, the unveiling of the marker for the historic Santa Fe trail in this city Tuesday afternoon was a history making event of more than passing importance. Gathered around the marker were upward of 1,000 people, composed of nearly every nationality on the globe and including old pioneers, G. A. R. members and school children. The monument was presented to the city by Mrs. J. L. McNeil, state regent of the Daughters of the American Revolution of Colorado. The monument was formally accepted by Hon. D. L. Taylor, mayor of Trinidad, and an old friend and companion of Kit Carson, and then Mrs. Theresa Allen drew back two large American flags from the marker, exposing to view a marble shaft about eight feet high, bearing a suitable inscription. This was followed by great cheering. Mrs. Allen was assisted in the unveiling by Mrs. Wesley W. Taylor. Speeches were made by City Attorney Theodore Smith, J. M. John and several others. The day was generally observed as a holiday, flags floated from all the flag poles in the city, and the schools and public offices were closed. The monument erected here is the last of the thirty-two which mark the trail in this state. About noon some thirty members of the Daughters of the American Revolution, on their way down from Denver, unveiled a carved granite boulder at El Moro, five miles north of here, the services being attended by all the people in that camp. El Moro is an older town than Trinidad, and in the early days of the old trail was the most important point between Denver and Santa Fe. It is now made up of foreigners and coke ovens. According to Mrs. McNeil, the markers have been placed at intervals of five miles across this state and Kansas, and a bill is before the Legislature of New Mexico making an appropriation to continue the markers to Santa Fe. Riot of Denver Greeks Denver.—Eighty-six members of Denver's Greek colony were arrested and placed in the city jail Tuesday afternoon following a terrific hand-to-hand fight between 300 Greeks and Patrolmen Barbiere, Clark, Wilson and Burghart, who had gone to 1749 Market street to arrest the owners of a gambling layout. Battling with clubs and revolvers, the policemen rounded up 200 of the Greeks. In response to a riot call, three patrol wagons, filled with officers, were rushed to the center of the Market street colony. Owing to their large number the prisoners were sent to police headquarters in relays, each patrol wagon making several trips. As the jail was not large enough to hold all of those arrested, more than 100 of the less belligerent were released by Chief of Police Armstrong upon their promise never again to interfere with patrolmen. Power Company's Long Lines. Denver. — The Central Colorado Power Company has completed its line of wires and towers from its Shoshone plant, below Glenwood Springs, the entire 152 miles to Denver, and will in all likelihood be able to turn on the enormous total of 18,000 available horsepower of electricity within a month. Sufficient power will shortly be on hand to supply the Denver City Tramway Company and the Denver Gas and Electric Company with all necessary electricity, contracts having been made to furnish both companies. Twenty-one thousand additional horsepower will be generated by the Boulder plant, where a $600,000 dam is now being constructed for the Central Colorado company by the McArthur Construction Company of New York.

My age is sixty-one. I have nothing to live for." The proposition launched at the Thomas F. Walsh dinner in Washington, D. C., to hold a world's fair in Denver in 1912 seems to have come as a surprise to Denver people. It is too big a thing to be decided on the spur of the moment and could only be carried out, if at all, after allowing plenty of time for its discussion. Free delivery is to be established in Colorado City soon, the appropriation bill providing for its establishment in thirty-nine towns, including Colorado City, having been passed by Congress. BABY'S ITCH EASILY CURED BABY'S ITCH EASILY CURED Infantile Eczema Quickly Relieved by External Use of Oil of Wintergreen Compound. Infantile eczema, which has baffled the skill of the best physicians for so many years at last seems to be curable—and curable with great ease. Results of the last two years indicate conclusively that baby itch, infantile eczema and other skin diseases of children can be very simply curved by the application of a compound composed of oil of wintergreen, thymol and glycerine, as in D. D. D. Prescription. The Rev. Lewis Seeley, of Weatherly. Pa. writes: "Our baby boy's little face was so dreadfully covered with eczema that blood and water ran from the sores nearly all the time. After using 3½ bottles of D. D. D. Prescription we ask so happy to tell you he is entirely cured and the disease has never broken out again." Your druggist can tell you more about this D. D. D.

Face and Neck Were Raw—Terrible Itching, Inflammation and Soreness—All Treatments Failed. Cuticura Proved a Great Success. "Eczema began over the top of my ear. It cracked and then began to spread. I had three different doctors and tried several things, but they did me no good. At last one side of my face and my neck were raw. The water ran out of it so that I had to wear medicated cotton, and it was so inflamed and sore that I had to put a piece of cloth over my pillow to keep the water from it, and it would stain the cloth a sort of yellow. The eczemaaitched so that it seemed as though I could tear my face all to pieces. Then I began to use the Cuticura Soap and Ointment, and it was not more than three months before it was all healed up. Miss Ann Pearson's, Northfield, Vt., Dec. 19, 1907." Potter Drug & Chem.

"Are you going to take your wife with you?" Admiral Sperry inquired. "No," the officer replied. "I think you are making a serious mistake," the admiral continued in positive terms.

It doesn't pay to stick too closely to old notions of things. New ideas often lead to better health, success and happiness. A Wis. couple examined an idea new to them and stepped up several rounds on the health ladder. The husband writes: "Several years ago we suffered from coffee drinking, were sleepless, nervous, sallow, weak and irritable. My wife and I both loved coffee and thought it was a bracer." (delusion.) "Finally, after years of suffering, we read of Postum and the harmfulness of coffee, and believing that to grow we should give some attention to new ideas, we decided to test Postum. "When we made it right we liked it and were relieved of ills caused by coffee. Our friends noticed the change — fresher skin, steadier nerves, better temper, etc. "These changes were not sudden, but relief increased as we continued to drink and enjoy Postum, and we lost the desire for coffee. "Many of our friends did not like Postum at first, because they did not make it right. But when they boiled Postum according to directions on pkg., until it was dark and rich, they liked it better than coffee and were benefited by the change." "There's a Reason."

THE Colorado Statesman 1824 Curtis Street Room 25 --- One of the new small hats in violet velvet with full crown and band of jet cabochons at one side. Parisian Millinery Already Indicates the Trend of Fashion. The millinery now in process of creation and the models in Paris indicate that there will be a large field of choice in shapes, sizes, heights and materials, and that there will be less excuse than ever for matron or maid, rich or poor, to go unbecomingly hatted the coming spring. In flowers no less than in hats will numberless varieties be used by smart milliners. The lovely violet in all its shades will once more be placed to the fore and in such various forms can it be presented that it is safe to predict that it will assume its old-time place as a favorite with well-dressed women. From the fat double violet in satin or velvet to the single tremulous purple flower nodding on its threadlike stalk, as it grows wild in the fields, 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 inhale their fragrance. Always are these done in the single flowers. Of course, some of the velvet garden violets also come from France, but the thicker, clumsier flowers are also made here. Lilacs in white and their own lavender hues, and in yellow as well, will be used with roses and violets. Wistaria is again to be much used, and fine wistaria in natural tones is one of the most artistic possible trimmings for large, flat hats. Fine wistaria blooms are expensive; the cheap should never—under any circumstances—be used. They are made in 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 mousquetare sleeves it is a problem how to make them so that they will look shirred and yet be quite secure. Furthermore, when they are made of wash net or other washable fabrics it is 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 is when pulled out to its full length. The seam for the second drawstring may be taken up on the outer side of the sleeve, and 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 length and then the cord may be tied up inside. When it is time to launder them the strings may be untied, the sleeves pulled out to their full length and the work thus made easy. Button Trimming. Buttons were attractively conspicuous on a gray Ottoman silk gown noted in the foyer. 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 Iridescent Shutter A very interesting inside window screen idea is the iridescent glass shutter. The glass is mounted and hinged to the inside of the window frame, covering about three-quarters of the lower sash as a more permalar substitute for the pqpular short curtain. Through the daytime the delicate colors are visible in the interior, and when the room is lighted after dusk there is a beautiful iridescence from an outside viewpoint. To Renovate Kid Gloves Mix together equal quantities of white of egg, black ink, and milk or cream. Put the gloves on the hands, and apply the compound to the rubbed parts with a bit of soft flannel. Kid shoes may be treated in the same way. A picturesque hat in "tapeu" felt, with black satin strings and large faded pink rose with a cluster of leaves. To the superficial observed the directoire gown seems costly, but girls who seek ways to dress themselves well for the least possible outlay pronounce the directoire a godsend. "Take a satin princess slip of apricot or salmon pink or a delicate shade of blue and yellow and see what you can do," said a clever girl recently. "Put over the lining a blue tulle or chiffon and the shimmering effect is likened to moonlight. Add pearls of crystals to the corsage and the result is a Doucet gown at a broadway price. Black lace, white lace and cream lace all look well over the satin. With a few accessories, the effect is varied for every occasion. 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 portions. 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 got up woman than the mere gown does. To be harmonious down to the last thread is our ambition." IDEA IN BLOUSE DESIGN. May Be Made in Various Ways to Suit Individual Tastes. This blouse may be made of the same material as dress, silk the same color as skirt, or fancy blouse material. The yoke and tight-fitting undersleeves are of tucked net and insert T tion; deep tucks are carried over the shoulders, and the sleeves are also deeply tucked, they are finished at elbows with lace frills. Velvet outlines the yoke, and silk-covered buttons trim the front. Materials required: 2 yards 40 inches wide, $1\frac{1}{2}$ yard tucked net 18 inches wide, 8 buttons, and $1\frac{1}{2}$-yard velvet on cross. New Trimmings. Many of the new trimmings consist of narrow bands of thin, white material, embroidered in white flowers, mingled with a few Dresden tints. This being new, it is quite expensive. There is a Chinese embroidery for white waist trimming that is peculiarly pretty, yet not a delicate pattern. The flower design is padded, while the leaves are filled in with machine stitches of coarse floss almost as heavy as the finest soutache. The patterns are picturesque and the materials are suitable for combining with linens and white madras. These embroideries are all white and would be pretty as a trimming upon a onepiece linen suit. They have the appearance of durability. The colored laces are less popular than other kinds, but still new patterns are introduced in connection with colored all-overs and they will be used as finishing touches to the dress that borrows tint and spangle for effect. Rinse Lace in Milk When washing lace never rinse it in blue water with the idea of improving its color. Real lace should be finally rinsed in skim milk, which will give it a soft, creamy color. Checked Velveteens One of the charming new winter materials used in imported suits is velveteen in rich colorings, printed with small checks or little indian designs on dark grounds.

MEMORIAL CHURCH IN MEMORY OE DUNBAR According to report, Dayton will honor the memory of its famous Negro poet, Paul Laurence Dunbar, by erecting a memorial church to cost $100,000. The movement is fostered by the A. M. E. connection, one of the most influential Negro churches of the country. It is thought that Booker T. Washington and other prominent Negroes will aid in making the memory of Dunbar more permanent 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 encouragement and appreciation in the things that count faster in the making of a people. Dunbar deserves the recognition. No poet that we know of had a greater right to be called 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 an edifice as contemplated rears upward, attesting to high heaven that such a one grovelled here below, who in thought was as high and noble as the ambitious spies may be. The 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. It is to be hoped that honor to the gifted Dunbar take some tangible form; if not in a great church, then in some shaft, or tablet—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 inspiration or intelligence. He was endowed aright, saw things through the eyes of intellect; was careful in discernment. No earmarks to distinguish his pages from those of the best among us with no color question in it. He excelled at dialect until he touched on the lyric; then he excelled there. In fact, his dialect simply masked his beautiful truths, beautiful expressions and beautiful disermment. Those poems were also lyrics, lyrics where abounded the quaint ways and conceits of his own people. This same rare discernment was able to discover something interesting and amusing amid all the rubbish of folklore, backwoods' simplicity, that proceeds pure gold. His stories left no stings, even when heard by the most exacting. Others essaying Negro dialect have not been able to hold the reader of the sweetest temper all through their productions. He knew what to say at all times. 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 invented a binding attachment for harvesters which will do away with the expense of twine to bind the bundles of grain, for which straw bands will be substituted. Mr. Douglass has been offered $500,000 for his invention by the Harvester Trust, but he refused the offer, as he believes his patent is worth $1,000,000. Two Kinds of Criticisms. "I am going to read you my sonnet o 'Persephone's Left Elbow," announced Miss Amma Teuritre to her metrothed. "I want you to give me a perfectly frank criticism, just the simple truth, as though you did not know me at all." When she had finished, her lover spoke solemnly: "I do not dare to speak frankly, but I will say that there is a trace of a hint of a possible future promise." The following week she married a freight handler who had worshiped her for years and who declared that the sonnet was finer'n silk.
