BIGGEST PICNIC OF THE SEASON JUNE 23 THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM The Denver Republican's Views. Race Needs Self Help. More Race Pride. The Little Things Count. VOL. XV. TO SOLVE THE PR The Denver Republican's View More Race Pride. Th (Editorial in Denver Republican.) A conference will be held in New York this week by men and women from different parts of the country, but chiefly from the North, to consider the civil and political rights of Negroes and to see what may be done to protect them in the enjoyment of those rights. Judging from reported expressions of opinion by persons who expect to attend the conference, the call for the meeting was promoted by a sentiment which assumes that the white people of the South are all wrong in their view of the Negro problem and that what is supposed to be their attitude of injustice calls for the most severe condemnation. It goes without saying that the conference will be productive of little or no good in any direction, and that by awakening false hopes in the hearts of some Negroes it may be productive of harm. One finds in the opinions expressed practically none of the spirit which prompted President Taft a few days ago in addressing the graduating class of a Negro college to advise his hearers to conduct themselves in ways that would win the respect of the white people among whom they may live; and yet no better advice could possibly be given. We may be confident that the race problem will work out its own solution, whether with or without the aid or interference of conferences like the one to be held in New York; but whatever form the solution may take, it will involve recognition of race distinctions and differences. This does not mean that Negroes of ability, education and high moral character will have no opportunity to improve their condition; but it does mean that the race line will not be broken down or obliterated. Failure by the Negroes to recognize that race purity is in itself desirable for every race, whether white or black, red or yellow, and that race antipathy is nature's provision for race purity, is doing as much as anything else to delay the solution of the Negro problem in this country. It is especially on this account that conferences like the one to be held in New York give little promise of good. The hope of some day being something other than Negroes, and especially of being counted as white men, is a delusion which is holding back not a few Negroes and particularly those with white blood in their veins, from facing the problem of their future as they ought to face it. What the Negroes of this country need is pride of race, for there can be little racial progress where there is no race pride. To be ashamed of their black skins should be looked upon as a dishonor by all members of the race; and the sooner this sentiment becomes dominant, the sooner will the problem be solved and the two races live peaceably and contentedly side by side. With the development of a spirit of this kind on the part of the blacks will come an answer to all question concerning their civil and political rights, whether in this country or in their ancestral home in Africa. Very few, perhaps, of the many readers of THE COLORADO STATESMAN read the decidedly pointed editorial touching the race question, which appeared in a recent issue of the Denver Republican. This editorial was suggested by the anonouncement of a meeting of philanthropists and sociallogists to convene in the City of New York for the purpose of "considering the civil and social status of the Negro." This will be the second of a series of meetings from which great things are expected to accrue to our people. The Denver Republican seems to regard such gatherings as unnecessary and affording only an opportunity for theorist to exploit ideas of very little practical value when applied to actual conditions. The remedy for existing conditions as suggested by the Republican is worthy consideration. This great daily believes that the greatest good to our race can be best secured through self help and the cultivation of race pride. Just how much the editor of the Republican knows of the Negro aside from hearsay and police court reports, we are not prepared to say, but the editorial while in the main fair seems based upon vague and uncertain information. Just what our people are doing towards building up and the story of their efforts does not come within the scope of the Republicans knowledge. But it is not our purpose to discuss what the Denver daily don't know so much as to bring before our own people the very timely suggestion of self help and race pride. This is a much used, but very DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JUNE 12, 1909. State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House PICNIC O RADO THE JOURNAL D PARK. AL DENVER, COLORADO, much abused term. Pride in race is inherent in all people and with us is rapidly assuming respectable proportions. We take it that out esteemed contemporary refers to honest delight in the achievements of the men and women of the black race. This should not apply alone to the great things and the great men but likewise to the humble efforts of those who toil and save that they may have a place called home. Around us on all sides can be seen humble beginnings by Negroes which should rouse a deep feeling of pride. Here in our city and state can be found many striking examples worthy emulation and justifying a strong race pride. To allow this pride in the achievements of our people to grow, jealously must be cast aside and the fullest encouragement so far as we can give should be shown. This pride of race must first be developed in the individual. He must feel that his race is sufficient for him and that he can help make it greater by doing his very best in whatever he undertakes. It matters not what we find to do, be it carrying the hod, scrubbing a floor, or driving a team, be the best in the business and be honest. That pride which develops in the individual to do the best work, soon grows in others and such leaven leavens the whole loaf. We have accumulated wealth, achieved in various ways national reputations, these are the inspiring elements in a vexacious problem, and hold the lamp of hope for others to climb up the great hill of difficulty. They are the great minority. We want to rouse the great majority to seek a higher plane of living, and develop in them a pride of race. This will come through self respect and a proper respect for others. Study the little things our people are doing. They tell a story of race pride. THE SOCIAL SIDE. The Denver Republican, like many other papers and individuals, who possess only surface information on the race problem fears as a result of the New York meetings, that some Negroes may presume upon the social side, thereby causing trouble. It would be unkind and impolite for the Colorado Statesman to drag the mulatto into the discussion. But they are a part of the great Negro race, and from whence did he come. The Negro does not seek social relations with the whites. His churches and societies are strong evidences of this fact. The Negro, where two or three are gathered together builds himself a church and makes his society being entirely content to work for the Anglo-Saxon. All he may ask in a quasi-social way is the same accommodations in public places and conveyances. He is content to let those who wish, meet, talk, and resolute. He will go on in his quiet way buying homes and --- farms. Colorado offers some splendid opportunities for our people to get cheap farms, and now is the time to come. Come out into the great growing West, get money, get farms and all things social will be added unto you. Selah! Mrs. Ida Wells Barnett places the total of Negroes lynched within twenty-five years at 3,284. Humbolt, Tenn., June 1.—The unusual spectacle of a large manufacturing plant closing down a most important department during a busy season because of the death of a faithful Negro employee was witnessed here last week when the veneer manufacturing department of the large factory of B. C. Jarrell & Co., shut down at dinner at the request of about a hundred Negro employees that this be done so they could attend the funeral services of Uncle John Davis, an old-time Negro and ex-slave, who died at his home here. The old Negro had worked at this plant for nearly twenty years and was thoroughly respected by all who knew him. New Orleans.—Frank Walker, a white man who had been named as legatee of a $25.000 estate by Virginia R. Davis, a mulatto woman, was disposed today by a decision of the Civil District Court, which upheld a contest of the will made by George Campbell, a Nashville Negro, who is a natural son of the woman. The court handing down the decision condemned Walker in terms exceedingly severe and emphasized the fact that his association with the Negress was in violation of the state law, adding: 'And the public policy of the Southern civilization' the integrity of the white race in the South, demands the enforcement of the law.' Judge Allen, formerly of the Supreme Court of Tennessee, and who recently prosecuted the night rider cases, came down to prosecute the contest on behalf of Campbell. William Polk, for many years principal musician (assistant leader) of the band of the Twenty-fourth Infantry, stationed at Madison Barracks, Sackett's Harbor, New York, has been designated by the War Department as Chief Musicians of the Regiment, to succeed Wilfred O. Thompson (white) transferred to Fort Sam Houston, Texas, in conformity with the order of President Roosevelt to place colored bandmasters at the head of Negro regimental bands as rapidly as openings could be made for them. This gives the race three of the four bandmasters provided for the Negro regiments in the United States Army, with one Negro principal musician acting as bandmaster in the fourth regiment. The appointment of Chief Musician Polk is another gratifying installment in the great victory achieved by Emmett J. Scott in pushing to a finish the movement to have Negro bandmasters in charge of all the Negro regiments of the army. RICHEST BLACK MAN IN THE WORLD The Los Angeles Record has the following to say of Millionaire Tennenbaum, the "Diamond King," and Goodman Bray, his colored millionaire mining superintendent. You have heard of Tennenbaum. He is best known as the "Diamond King." He is coming over from Belgium this month and as soon as he arrives in New York he will start across the continent to visit Goodman Bray, a giant Negro. For as Tennenbaum is the "Diamond King" so is Bray the "Tourmaline King." Bray is as black a Negro as ever came out of the heart of the Congo. He is probably the richest black man in the world. Tennenbaum picked him up when he was a ragged boy making mud pies in the slums of New York. Tennenbaum took a liking to the little black urchin because of his "jolly little laugh." The Diamond King sent the boy to school and then to college. Before he was 20 Bray had charge of the wonderful collection of gems that won for Tennenbaum his title as king. Then Tennenbaum made him his buyer, and for years the giant black traveled to almost every corner of the earth looking after the interest of his foster father. For the past eight years Bray has had charge of the Tournuline mines at Mesa Grande, Mexico. He has carte blanche to draw on Tennenbaum for whatever he wants, and, although he is 60 miles from the nearest imported city, he lives in the style of a prince. Bray looks like Peter Jackson. He is quite sure that had Tennenbaum found him he would have been a prize fighter. "I think I would have won heavyweight laurels," he remarked modestly. Royal Pudding. One cupful of bread crumbs welt crumbed, one pint of milk, one-half cup sugar, the yolks of two eggs well beaten, grated rind of one lemon, one tablespoonful butter. Bake until done. Spread on the pudding a layer of jelly or jam. Then whip the whites of two eggs stiff, beat in one-half cupful of sugar and the juice of the lemon. Pour over the pudding, bake in the oven until slightly browned. NO. 38 THE RACE QUESTION A LABOR QUESTION In the strike on the Georgia Railroad against the employment of Negro firemen, we have an exemplification of what many have long felt to be true, that the race question is at bottom a labor question and that the labor question is at bottom a question of restricted opportunity. The object of the Georgia strike against Negro labor at locomotive-firing, was to make room for white labor. With abundant opportunities for both races, there would be no strike, for there would have been no motive for striking. But with opportunities so narrowed that the masterless man is a striving man the struggle for jobs takes on any form that happens to serve, and race differences are usually most efficient. Political differences would serve as well in some industrial circumstances, religious differences in others, and either would be as readily availed of. But in the South at the recent time—and in the North, too, for that matter—the question of Negro or white man is most available. On the Pacific Coast the same scarcity of jobs develop race conflicts, with Chinamen and Japanese instead of Negroes as the white workman's enemy. The Georgia Railroad strike certainly tends to confirm the Texan, an old time slave owner, who, upon being asked about the race question in his part of the State, replied: "Race question! Well, it's about this way. When the white owned the nigger there wasn't any race question; if the nigger owned the white man, there wouldn't be a race question; but when the nigger and the white man both want the same job at the same time, then there's a race question. It isn't a race question at all, my friend, not among the masses of the people. It's a labor question."—The Public. Among the principal speakers at the meeting held Sunday at Carnegie Lyceum in the interest of Morris Brown College, Atlanta, Ga., was John Temple Graves, who, during his address, stated that at one time he was opposed to the education of the Negro, but now is a strong advocate of Negro education. He said in part: "I have the interest of both races at heart. I believe now in the education of the Negro. I do not know of any race in history better and more wisely led than the Negro. The Negroes are to be congratulated. I was pleased to note that during the industrial battle in Georgia last week not one report concerning the strike contained an account of the Negro resorting to violence. →→→→→ THE DENVER SAFE DEPOSIT CO.

MAKES HOT RELISH CURRY ADDS TO PIQUANCY OF VARIOUS DISHES. Chicken and Veal Are Particularly Adapted for This Form of Seasoning—Curried Eggs for Luncheon or Sunday Tea. Curry, the Cinghalese sauce or relish whose making is one of the mysteries of the orient, is the foundation, or at least leit motif, of all sorts of "curried" dishes, more particularly chicken and veal, by means of which the hostess or teries of the ori ent, is the founda tion, or at least leit motif, of all sorts of "curried" dishes, more particularly chicken and veal, by means of which the hostess or housewife can curry favor with her dinner-guests. Onions, garlic, pepper, turmeric, ground cocoanut and fermented milk are only a few of the simples which enter into the composition of this hot Hindoo condiment—which, like most so-called national dishes, inclu ding our own American minceppe, owed its original invention to some accident, famine or emergency. It comes in powder form. The average table-d'hote idea of curry is a watery chicken stew with a little curry-powder thrown into it at the last moment. The real thing is quite different. Almost any flesh food can be curried to the queen's taste, but chicken is the most popular. For this dish procure a good-sized stewing fowl; also, if desired, a couple of pounds of veal cutlet. Skin the fowl and cut the meat in pieces. Slice an onion and try in butter to which a tablespoonful of curry powder has been added. Then put in the meat, pour in some water, cover the kettle and let simmer by the hour over a slow fire. It may be well to reinforce the curry flavor by adding another spoonful of powder, as the boiling proceeds. Keep it irrigated, so as not to burn or scorch. Just before serving put on a blanket of "thickening." made with either flour or cornstarch. Rice is boiled in the eastern fashion as follows: Throw half a cupful of rice into a large kettle two-thirds full of salted boiling water; leave it to boil 20 minutes, strain through a colander, then steam five minutes over a tea kettle, until the separate kernels are light and dry. Rice, thus prepared, accompanies all curries. The curry should be placed in the center of a large platter, with the rice piled around it as a border. Cut narrow stripes of sweet red Spanish peppers and place in crosses on the rice as a garnish. Green peppers also can be used to enhance the color scheme. Serve also a dish of grated young cocoanut, a dish of chutney, some Madras pickles and possibly a scoop of guava jelly. Bombay duck (which is no duck at all, but a small dried fish), is another Hindoostanee hot relish, which doubtless would be more popular with occidentals if it did not smell to heaven when warmed up in the oven. In making beef curry the round is used, the process being the same as with chicken, except that a not-too-tart apple or two may be utilized for the thickening, being stewed with the meat after it has been boiling three hours. An artful luncheon or Sunday tea dish is made by currying eggs. Make a white sauce, to which has been added a tablespoonful of curry powder, and pour it over hard-boiled eggs cut in quarter sections. Almost all shellfish, too, can be curried in a way to make the most savage gastronomie eat out of your hand. Milk to Extinguish Flame. Did you ever try extinguishing a flame from a coal oil lamp with milk? It is much better than water if it happens to be at hand, as it mixes with the oil and puts out the flame quickly. The average English business man's sphere of vision is limited. He is not scientific, as compared with the American, German or Japanese merchant. He regards his business too much as a means of livelihood or an occupation. He does not enter into it or conduct it on a sufficiently lofty plan—London Modern Business. IN VOGUE CHAT OF THE MODES COLORS AND MATERIALS POPUL LAR WITH THE SMART SET. For Shoes, Bronze Is Better Liked Than the Tan—Motor Veils Are Long—Coat for the Ten- Year-Old Maid. Bronze has entirely replaced tan for smart shoes, and though long gloves are seen, the gauntlets with their stiff cuffs make the nattiest traveling gear, and are the right finish for the long-sleeved coats. The motor veils are very long and in the superb colors of the season, the dull wistaria shades going with every- . Smart Coat of Serge. thing, and if not drawn over the face the long ends will come round and tie in the "motor bow" under the chin. These veils are most fascinating on a graceful and pretty woman, and are good protectors for the fruit and follage trimmed hats which will be largely worn. As to the traveler's undergarments, Sensible Fashion That Has Been Welcome as a Relief from Burdens Long Borne. The popular tendency to fasten all women's garments in front has caused a general atmosphere of comfort that is hard to overestimate. Blouses began to fasten in front last winter and sensible women at once took advantage of the fashion. Petticoats of all kinds were made to hook or clamp down the left front so there might not be placket or plaits at back. Linen and pongee outer skirts all fasten down the left middle front with large buttons and combination underwear, which is taking the place of all others to-day, buttons down the front. With this convenient fastening of all garments it is only natural that women should go in strongly for the corset that laces in front. It not only gives excellent shape to the back and permits the frock to fit without wrinkle, but it allows a woman to get into it with ease and freedom. It has always been a tiresome feat to hold the arms back of the body in order to lace the corsets with nicety; no fatigue is caused by the modern method. It is a matter of congratulation that women have adopted all the sensible garments that fasten in front. It lifts much of the burden of dressing. Sachets. If you wish a delicate odor on all of your lingerie articles, make sachets for the bureau and dresser drawers. Get silkaleen or thin flowered material and purchase a pound of dry hellotrope flowers at any druggist's. Any fragrant flowers that give forth a pleasant and lasting odor can be used. Crush the flowers and put a handful or two into the bag. Lay the bag in the bottom of the drawer and put the articles in, close drawer and when the articles are taken out the next day, or at any future time, the odor will be noticeable, yet not strong like the ordinary perfumes. The dried lavender is more lasting than the ordinary sachet, unless sandalwood is used, but that is too pungent unless mixed with other powders. Mission Furniture. The mission style of furniture is invading every part of the household. Now the woman who likes this style can house her canary in a miniature cabin on the mission order. the woman who prefers to get this part of her wardrobe ready made will find the spun silk petticoat with a taffeta bottom an admirable choice. The dust colors and sweet-gum browns are the most serviceable colors for the petticoat. Of course every woman knows that silk sheds the dust more readily than cotton. Petticoats which wash and yet always look new, may be made of gingham or calico, and if the gown and coat colors are considered when the petticoat color is selected, the effect when the skirt is lifted is always good. The coat needs of the pretty maid of ten summers or so are considered in our illustration. This neat little coat is one of the trimmest and most sensible of the season's designs for girls, and while of service at any time, it would be invaluable for traveling. Blue serge, trimmed with silk or wool braid, is a good choice of materials, and if the braid has a touch of red in the weave it will be still smarter. The broadly trimmed hat is excellent for little heads which still wear the hair flowing; and though small coats are often dark, the accompanying hat may be of light straw decked with gay flowers. FOR THE HOURS OF SLUMBER Embroidered Silk Pajamas Have Caught the Fancy of Up-to-Date Matrons and Malds. Woman has now become thoroughly identified with pajamas, and particularly in summer does she affect this garment in which Robert Chambers' Iole and her sisters were wont to haunt the environs of the "House Beautiful." Indeed, for traveling and for wear at the seashore and mountain the masculine sleeping garb possesses great advantage over the other garment. It is but natural that the adoption of pajamas by women would result in the introduction of more esthetic and colorful models, and consequently the latest pajamas for women are so sumptuous that the Princess Scheherazade herself would look quite at home in them. For they are now exploited in delicately colored silks in odd shades, such as water blue, ashes or roses and pale almond green. Furthermore they are embroidered in oriental tone in wash silk. To reduce the cost of these delicate garments many girls buy the plain silk pajamas and then embroider them at home. USEFUL TO HOLD TRINKETS. Combined Key Rack, Pin Cuchion and Hat-Pin Holder Designed to Hang on the Wall. The ingenious little arrangement shown in our sketch is intended for hanging upon the wall by the side of the looking glass, and is of use in many ways. The back portion is composed of a square piece of stout cardboard, and this is entirely covered, both back and front, with silk, chosen in some pretty shade of color, and edged all around with a silk cord of a color to match or harmonize with the material. On the lower portion a semi-circular cushion is arranged, also edged at the 10 sides with silk cord. Across the upper part a band of ribbon is sewn in a series of little loops through which the hat-pins may be slipped, and then pressed into the cushion. At the extreme lower edge, four large dress-hooks are sewn on, and for appearance sake, should be bound round with ribbon, and on which may be hung keys, rings, bracelets, or a watch, perhaps. The space above the pincushion can be prettily embroidered with some little floral design, and there is a loop of ribbon with a bow at the top, attached to the back, by which this useful little article may be suspended from the wall. The woman who always continues to look smart on nothing a year makes a point of buying a couple more yards of material than she needs for her frocks. Then, when the sleeves go out of fashion, as they are sure to do long before the rest of the gown, she can have them altered.

Further particulars on application, BRAIN STORMS SCIENTISTS are now coming forward with the assertion that there is no discernable difference between the capacity of white men's brains and those of colored men, and that all claims to the contrary are absurd illusions originating in prejudiced presumption. The truth achieved in these demonstrated conclusions will not be strong enough however to rob many white men of the self-solace which they have so long enjoyed in the belief that all other men are created inferior to them. So long as they have the might to back their ideas of divine preference, what need they care what the scientists say? THE GEORGIA STRIKE THE recent railroad strike in Georgia was a veritable tempest in a teapot. Less than one hundred white engineers and firemen on the Georgia Central railroad made all the trouble, but they paralyzed traffic over a large portion of the state. The trouble was all over the discharge of eight white firemen and the appointment of colored firemen in their places. Colored firemen are employed on nearly all railroads in the South, but this wholesale exchange of white for black was worked up into a race conflict by labor union sentiment. A surprising feature of the strike is the fact that it indicates the progress which northern labor union sentiment is making in the South. Secondary or helping positions of every character in the mechanical trades have been given to colored men in the South for years and no feeling of conflict or labor opposition of any kind was ever raised by Southerners on account of these relations until the Northern labor unions began to extend their activities over the Southern field. Under their influence the feeling between chief and subordinate has changed to one akin to equality, and the positions from which colored men were never promoted have become but temporary berths for white men, from which they are graduated after the Northern idea to the chief positions. This has made the secondary places more desirable to white men, and their organization into labor unions in touch with all other organized mechanical departments, from which colored mechanics were excluded, has made conflicts, like that demonstrated by the Georgia strike, always imminent. This condition may be expected to grow steadily worse, and it will not be long before industrial conditions in the South over which labor unions extend their influence, will take on the exact character of those in the North. These conditions are deaf to sentiment, and the colored mechanic will do well to study his chances in other fields. But there are some branches of labor in which colored men predominate in the South and some organized effort should be made to maintain them. Nothing but organization of all branches of colored labor will enable it to cope with the arbitrary demands of white labor unions, but when in the South, strike shall be met with strike, the tune that will be played will be entirely different from that now heard in Georgia. A WHITE AFRICA EX-PRESIDENT Theodore Roosevelt has not only studied the race problem in Africa, as a far-seeing newspaper writer said he would do, but he has solved it. With that gigantie task accomplished, merely by a look and a thought, it may be concluded that, in the ex-President's opinion, there is no race problem in the United States. We base this expression on the remarks of Mr. Roosevelt at a luncheon given in his honor, at the African Inland Mission, an American institution at Kijabe British East Africa. "I believe with all my heart," said Mr. Roosevelt, "that large parts of East Africa will form the white man's country. Make every effort to build up a prosperous and numerous population. I ask the settler to co-operate with missionaries and treat the native justly and bring him to a higher level." "The white man's country" is an expression which indicates that it is the established policy of the white settlers to eventually drive the natives out of the most desirable portions of their own continent and confine them to the portions in which white men cannot thrive. A white Africa and a black Africa is to settle the matter in the dark continent. Treating the natives justly is a proposition hard to harmonize with this evident intention. But the main deduction is the belief that the destinies of the races, even in Africa, forever lie separate and apart. Raising the native to a higher level is not intended to be a step toward assimilation, and, of course, the native people are expected to remain a subjective people. It is not in the hearts of white men who settle in a new country to treat the natives justly. It is only in their hearts to take what they want and compel the natives to put up with what is left. Wherever the appetite for conquest has led them in the name of civilization, this has been the result. Doubtless it will be so in Africa, for many years at least. But doubtless, too, there are conditions existant in Africa differing widely from any with which the white man has ever had experience. The native is capable of rising to a higher level, and under the encouragement of increasing example is sure to do so. In most of his tribal branches he is a strong, healthy, lusty man, both physically and mentally, although a barbarian and mentally undeveloped. When he begins to rise, and then begins to see the advantage in rising, he will develop into a man of power, just as every other great branch of the human family has developed or is now developing. If it is the destiny of distinct races to remain distinct and separate, they will all do well to choose with care the portions of the earth whereon they and their progeny expect to dwell. Great Question for Young Men By JOHN A. HOWLAND OT every young man is going to make a success at money getting. Inevitably that young man who tries hardest to do so and who by the law of averages as inevitably fails, must be most grievously disappointed. N These are facts that were inescapable when society was on a far simpler basis and when the accumulation of $100,000 represented a fortune. They are facts to be multiplied by ten in this age when a million dollars does not make a rich man in the accepted term. Virtually the same ratio exists all down the line of accumulations from business and professional efforts. "What medium line shall I fix upon in the choice of my life's work?" to-day is one of the greatest questions which the young man has to answer for himself. Ordinarily it may be settled as fact that the young man entering the field of merchandising trade does so for the "money there is in it." He has decided to work for money only. He may have the merchant instinct, but if it promised no money reward it is questionable if he would go into it. That man deciding upon manufacturing as his occupation may have a greater personal incentive, in that it will feed an ambition to excel in mechanical tastes and talent. Yet sooner or later the manufacturer, through competitive forces, must make his concessions to money getting. If he become a man of family the luxury and extravagance of the times will be a further inducement to the concession. Yet on the same basis of the law of averages, comparatively few of the business men of the country succeed at money getting. Flinging tastes and ideals to the winds and becoming wholly consecrated to the accumulation of riches, by far the greater number of these workers fail. With ideals gone and with the hope of wealth destroyed, what is left for them? Compare with this type of man the worker who, in choosing his occupation, concedes everything for the privilege of doing his chosen work. He accepts this opportunity as a privilege. It is an invitation to his particular talent—perhaps genius. Naturally he can expect of it a compensation which will enable him to follow the work. He will take that chance. It is incidental to the main question. Yet from whatever high, idealist point of view such a man makes his choice of a life work he may anticipate the time when in his own heart he may have to question that decision. Almost inevitably he must expect competitions. Men with less of the ideal in them will be following this chosen occupation. As these men lack idealism, they will be tempted to money getting. Ways and means to that end not only will be in collision with the young man's idealism, but later in life when he may have a family dependent upon him and may seek for them some of the material things with which his family must enter a social competition, he finds himself disappointed and hurt at conditions. P Idealism in business largely is unsalable. It is always a handicap to money making efforts. "Business is business." That is the business man's definition of his calling. Relenting from the harshness of the dictum always is a tax upon the profits. To measure idealism, then, against money becomes an impossible comparative absurdity. College Is But Part of Life By PROF. WOODROW WILSON To a man who spends the greater part of his waking hours on the gridiron or enjoying comradeship, his study, popularly so called, is really his pastime, his recreation, for a man's real interest lies in what he does longest and hardest, and everything else is of minor importance. So after a hard afternoon singing songs on the campus, our tired student sits down to refresh himself with a few logarithms or a little Greek syntax. His real energy, his fresh enthusiasm, his initiative have disappeared. Business has occupied so much time and strength that there is very little left for his studies. A man who takes a course of four years of social life at some university has thrown away four years of that natural power to work which descended to him from his great progenitor, Adam. He now finds himself face to face with actual work in its true sense, and he also finds that he is not ready to work; his faculties are undeveloped, his fund of information is limited and very hazy; he is a college man, but he is not a trained man, nor an educated man. It is a singular fact that our universities are standing upside down, not on their heads—which might be not altogether a bad thing—but on the wrong end. Pleasure is business, and business is pleasure. As a matter of fact, a man's chief duty to himself and to society is to get his brain into such shape that he can use it, and certainly one function of a university is to show the applicant whether or not he has any brains. Men are too ready to assume that they can be educated, that they have brains. Dangers of Both Sexes in Schools By WILLIAM LEE HOWARD We have reached that point in human knowledge, or, in other words, we are getting back to common sense, where even the inexperienced must acknowledge that a change is needed in our educational method of mixing the adolescents of both sexes in the high schools. We are now fully awake to the great mental and psychological variations at this age due to the differentiation of the sexes. The past hypocritical denials of the great psychologic and physiologic changes and moods which are constantly surging in the adolescents, have done much harm says Dr. William Lee Howard in the Housekeeper. This injury to growing boys and girls in trying to educate them together is well known to physicians and psychologists. Many doctors have tried to carefully explain these important matters to parents and teachers, but so wrongly impressed have been these parents and teachers of the past, that many physicians have given up in disgust, and some of them have lost patients by attempting to tell the truth. Ideas are changing; truths are forcing themselves to the surface, and in the young generation of parents and teachers I find eagerness to have the doctors tell of the false method this country has followed in mixing the adolescents in classes at the public high schools. Older and wiser countries know better.

Regular meetings were held and the money obtained by extortion was dis- tributed to various divisions in this country and sent to relatives in Italy for safe keeping. “We have found what I believe to be certain proof that the Black Hand outrages, at least in the Middle West, were committed by a. well-organized society, with grips and passwords, and that they are not simply sporadic cases of individual extortion,” said Chief Postoffice Inspector Holmes. “We have no evidence so far that the American Black Hand in the West is connected with the foreign society that killed Lieutenant Petrosino in Sicily.” Eleven arrests have been made so far in Columbus, Marion, ,Denison. Bellefontaine and Cleveland, all in Ohio, and the government officers in Chicago and Cincinnati are looking for Antonio Lima, brother of Salva- dore Lima, who was arrested in Ma- rion. Another important arrest is ex- pected in Cleveland. A.

Boulder.—Class day at the univer- sity, June Sth, opened with a baseball game between the seniors and the alumni, resulting in a tie, 7 to 7. In the afternoon the seniors in cap and gown formed a parade and led by the university band marched around the quadrangle, stopping in turn at the different buildings. The first halt was made at the engincering building, where the class history was read by Rudolph Sweiner on behalf of the en- gineers. At the medical building the class prophecy, written by Ray Fisher, for the doctors, was read by a classmate. From here the procession moved to the Hale building, where Joseph L. Sheldon, sixty years old, one of the graduating class of the law school, de- livered the class oration. ‘The final stop was made at the main building, where the class ode was read by Miss Mary Levin. After the senior exercises, Prest- dent and Mrs. Baker gave a reception to the faculty, graduates, alumni and other invited guests. At night the campus was elaborately Iuminated with electric lights of all forms and colors. In the main building a reception was given to the graduat- ing classes by the alumni, while class reunions were held in various parts of the campus. Parades, music and songs ended the evening. Wednesday, with the graduating exercises at the Chau- tauqua auditorium, the commencement will end, with 160 graduates receiving diplomas, the largest class in the his- tory of the university.

The Price building, ad- Joining the Toltec on Stout street, will also be wrecked, as the new building is to occupy the sites of both these buildings. The new bullding will cost about $900,000, and will be the most thoroughly modern building in the city when completed.

Seventeen governors of western states and territories have promised to be in attendance at the Trans-Missis- sippi Commercial Congress at Denver, August 16th to 21st, and four others hope to come. Only one, Governor Gil- lett of California, has announced that it will be impossible for him to attend. Many cabinet officers, senators and congressmen are coming. It is now stated that a building to cost $125,000 will be built in Denver by the Denver Chamber of Commerce and the Colorado ‘Traffic Club, the idea of erecting a building to house jointly the five commercial organiza- tions of the city, including besides the two named, the Manufacturers’ asso- ciation, the State Commercial associa; tion, and the Real Estate exchange, having been abandoned. John H.

A call for Denver college graduates who wish to take up philanthropy as a life work was received about a month ago by Miss Izetta George of the Den. ver Charity Organization Society from Dr, Thomas J. Riley, director of the St. Louis School of Philanthropy endowed by the late Russell Sage, and was pub- lished extensively. Although scholar- ships ranging from $200 to $500 were offered to Denver young people who wished to take up the work, not a sin- gle response was received, Hundreds of people crowded into the First Methodist church at+ Colorado Springs on the night of the Sth inst. to bid . farewell to the Rev. James B. Gregg, dean of ministers in Colorado. While the reception had been arranged by the Ministerial Association, the ad. dresses were given by men who repre- sent almost every religious denomina- tion in the city.

After he suffered with the trouble several weeks I took him to the doctor but it got worse. The rash ran together and made largo blisters. The little fellow didn’t want to do anything but scratch and we had to wrap his hands up to keep him from tearing the flesh open till the blood would run. ‘The ftching was in- tense. The skin on his back became hard and rough like the bark of a tree. He suffered intensely for about three months. But I found a remedy in Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint- ment. The result was almost mag- ical. That was more than two years ‘ago and there has not been the slight- est symptom of it since he was cured. J.

Emma Calye is a most enthusiastic worker, and has given largely of her talent and money for the relief of tuberculosis sufferers, and Miss Olga Nethersole has even lectured before the public on tuberculosis, ‘Ohaklansa Prompt and unquestioning obedi- ence is the corner stone of the foun- datiofi of succes in life, No man can give orders properly who has not learned to take them, and “save he serve, no man may rule.” It will be found that the men who have won their way to positions of power and responsibility have invariably been the men who did not reason or argue or even “respectfully represent,” but who promptly did as they were com- manded without questioning. It 1s the large man, not the little man, who recognizes a superior authority. Mar-vel-lous!

The improper selection of food drives many a healthy person into the depths of despairing illness. Indeed, much sickness comes from wrong food and just so surely as that is the case right food will make the sun shine once more. An old veteran of Newburyport, Mass. Says: “In October, I was taken sick and went to bed, losing 47 pounds in about 60 days. I had doctor after doctor, food hurt me and I had to live almost entirely on magnesia and soda. All solid food distressed me so that water would run out of my mouth in little streams. “Thad terrible night sweats, and my doctor finally said I had consumption and must die. My good wife gave up all hope. We were at Old Orchard, Me., at that time and my wife saw Grape-Nuts in a grocery there. She bought some and persuaded me to try it, “{ had no faith in it, but took it to please her, ‘To my surprise it did not distress me as all other food had done and before I had taken the fifth pack- age I was well on the mend. The pains left my head, my mind became clearer and I gained weight rapidly. “L went back to my work again and now after six weeks’ use of the food I am better and stronger than ever be- fore in my life. Grape-Nuts surely saved my life and made me a strong hearty man, 15 pounds heavier than before T was taken ill, “Both my good wife and I are will- ing to make affidavit to the truth of this.” Read “The Road to Wellville,” in pkgs. “There's a reason,” Ever read the above letter?

Gates, secretary of the board of Indian commissioners, was describing the splendid work that his board is doing to wipe out the tuber- culosis scourge which at one time threatened to make the American In- dian extinct. “But the Indian,” said Mr. Gates, “needs to be educated in sanitation. He is shockingly ignorant there. In fact, he 1s as ignorant as an old farm- er I used to know in Warsaw. “A friend dropped in on this old farmer as he was frying a bit of bacon. “Grand bacon, that,’ said the friend, sniffing affably. “Grand bacon! Well, I guess it 1s grand bacon,’ said the old man, turn. ing the slices in the pan. ‘And it's none o' yer murdered stuff, neither.
