THE NEW TARIFF BILL. PRESIDENT TAFT AND SENATOR GUGGENHEIM. ANDERSON TO PROBE. TOWNSITE COMPANY. VOL. XV. PUNGEN PARA REVISING DOWNWARD. PRESIDENT TAFT AND ANDERSON TO PROBE REVISING DOWNWARD. The tariff revision is ended, and the country has in the Payne-Aldrich Tariff Bill the anti-election promises of the Republican party made manifest. The entire country will breathe a sigh of relief. Not that confidence in the hard-headed business sense of the Republican leaders was lacking, but the elamor for revising downward has been so loud and insistent that it was questionable where reductions could be best made without injuring the business of a locality or of the country at large. It may seem anomalous to consider this a reduction of the tariff when it actually increases the income of the government forty millions. But to understand how this condition is brought about one must carefully study the entire bill. Many new items were added to the tariff list and the duty on many competing goods was increased. The interest of our people is linked with all American citizens. It is impossible to legislate for one class without some of the crumbs of comfort falling to all. Now that the tinkering with the tariff is over the promised improvement in business circles will come. With the panic of 1907 and the insistent demands of the tariff reformers for a low tariff has greatly affected public confidence. With a clear understanding of the situation public confidence will soon bring hidden capital into the channels of trade and an era of prosperity will follow. Conditions in the Western states are especially gratifying at this time. Industrial securities dependent upon this section are all strong on the market. The farmers are promising the world crops unparalleled in our history. The demand for labor at highly remunerative wages is strong. Out here there is plenty to do. With our mineral interests amply protected and the sugar beet interest satisfactorily adjusted, we can more cordially invite the Negroes of the South to come West and enjoy the land of the free and home of the great American hustler. TWO NOTABLES. The country is to be congratulated on the courageous position assumed by the president in the noble effort made to have a tariff bill to conform to the promises of the Re- publican platform. It is a very difficult matter in such a fight to secure for each particular section just what it feels it needs for its growth. The fight made by President Taft for a lower tariff on certain articles and a corporation tax will do much to confirm his greatness as a patriot and statesman worthy public confidence and trust. The President won a great victory. Colorado should feel great honor in the work of Senator Guggenheim. A man of exceptional business capacity and training, devoted to the best interests of the state, through his efforts alone the interests of the state were well protected. With our mining and sugar beet interest properly cared for the people of Colorado can feel proud that a single Republican was there to protect them. ANOTHER MAN. Although the President will avoid appointing Negroes where offense will be given, one Negro will derive some honor from the workings of the tariff bill. The great corporations of New York must open their books for inspection of a Negro when the new bill becomes a law. Charles W. Anderson, collector of internal revenue for the City of New York will be the proper person to probe into the corporations. Mr. Anderson is one of the brilliant young Negroes of the country and no doubt his conduct in the tryout of the new law will bring added luster to the race. We have faith in him. THE TOWNSITE COMPANY. Very little has been said through our papers of the new movement inaugurated by a body of Colorado Negroes. The recent session of the Negro Business League of Colorado developed a full-fledged townsite corporation with much paid in capital in existence among the Negroes of this state. They are some of our best men. Men who have in a quiet way been doing something for themselves, and are now prepared to help others of their race. It is purely a business proposition and they invite only those of our people who mean business to come in. With thousands of corporations organized for the purpose of making it possible for the white man to secure homes and farms on terms DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, AUGUST 7, 1909. State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House ronizing Tho RADC THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, within their reach, it behooves the Negro to go do likewise. This move is not for the purpose of Africanizing Colorado, but for the sole purpose of encouraging those of our people who desire a chance to get some of the state's cheap land before it is gone. The Negroes are here and others are coming. We must not allow them to be congregated in our cities to be stifled by the fierce competition. We are interested in the material development of the state. Negro farmers, fruit growers, sheep raisers, and home builders can do as much for Colorado as an alien element. The townsite company deserves confidence. Let all get busy. NO HELPFUL DISCUSSION OF THE RACE PROBLEM BETWEEN WHITES AND BLACKS Just at this present time there is very little helpful and practical discussion of the real race problem being carried on by either race. At present about all that exists is the contests between rival theorists, faddists, fanatics and the selfishly ambitious. The one hopeful fact is that while the dogs ase fighting over the bone the bone is not fighting, but the great mass of the Negroes are hard at work making money, getting standing, educating their children and going forward along all lines. A large number of the best papers of the race are placed by a certain few under the charge of being subsidized. That this is a false charge no one of good and honest judgment will deny, but that it is constantly made and left undeniable is hurtful. 'There is no charge on earth that can be brought against the fanatics except that they are fools. Men who sacrifice thousands of dollars worth of property and the friendship of their former friends and undergo all sorts of needless hardships to uphold ideas of principals which the present generation is not ready either to understand or to accept, are nothing less than fanatics, their motive is a mistaken sincerity, not a motive of selfishness or of cupidity. The portion of the race papers which seeks to follow sane and practical lines largely allows itself to be drawn into controversy with the portion that stands as the uncompromising advocate of principles and truths that are fixed and recognized, but that cannot at present be applied. The result is confusing; no one can deny that the Negro should have in every detail the same rights as any other citizen in any part of the country, but only a fool would try to enforce such a proposition at present. A consistent, steady, unswerving course in presenting news of what the race does from week to week in things that mark advance a maintaining of absolute silence as relates to controveries and the painting of the most hopeful pictures of success which facts from week to week will fully justify is the only course for a really useful and helpful race paper to follow. John Brown Lovejoy and all of those who now are justly ranked as immortal heroes were fools in their day. In Bermuda a few weeks ago I was driving the swift and fiery "Dandy," a native horse loaned me by Mr. Charles Smith, one of leading contractors of the Island. American way. I turned to the right at the approach of a dashing team. The driver beckoned to the left and kept on. I did not stop to argue, but quickly turned to the left. Thus a serious accident was averted, and I found that although I was right in my own country, the other fellow was right according to the customs of his country. I might have stood upon a principle, had an accident and now been dead or in a hospital. The other fellow had the heavier vehicle and the more powerful team and was in his own country. While I have never traveled in any jim-crow car nor sat up of nights in any Southern town where there was a hotel, yet if I were traeling in the South and ran up against the issue, to stop to argue about constitutional amendments would be foolhardy. I will either avoid getting into such a thing as common sense. What can be helped should be, but what cannot be helped, must for the present be endured. It is better to suffer affliction with the people of God for a season, etc. There are certain evils existing which could be cured if they were fully and honestly and impartially exposed but the fellow who does it must first be sure that he has his feet on solid ground. The world is simply and eager and waiting for the race organizations to get split up with internal feuds so as to be able to gather from the warfare a full exposure of what never would otherwise come out. All who have the best interests of the race at heart will follow the good old motto and "put the best foot foremost" at all times and everywhere. This policy is not any evidence of cowardice, but indicates sound common sense. There was a period in my career when I boldly exposed wrong; there will likely come another period; the former course barred me from all elective honors in my church and drew upon me enemies that yet are active. Should the latter come, it will find me indifferent and independent. Things are going well even with all of the faults that might be found, and the best thing is to make the best of what is best and go steadily onward.—The Freeman. J. M. HENDERSON, M. D. At the recent annual meeting of the Alabama Federation of Negro Women's Clubs, the fact was brought out that these clubs have raised during the past twelve months $1,528.54. This a fine example for other women's organizations. Mobile, Ala., July 22.—The police commissioners have established a curfew law for colored people. All the blacks must be at home or in bed at 10 p. m. Any of them caught wandering at large will be locked up. This action is due to an epidemic of hold ups perpetrated by colored men. Nairobi, British East Africa, July 26.—The Roosevelt party will leave Nairobia on August 5 for Naivasha, a stop being made at Kijabe, forty-four miles northwest of this town, where Mr. Roosevelt will lay the foundation stone of a new building to be erected by the African Inland Mission, an American organization. Nashville, Tenn., July 15. Today the supreme lodge of the Knights of Pythias and the Grand lodge of the state of Tennessee joined in a bill in which it is prayed that the colored Knights of Pythias be perpetually enjoined from using the name, emblems, passwords, insignia, other property or rights claimed by the complainants. Elijah S. Hardy, the new weather bureau observer at Mobile Ala. is perhaps the only Afro-American in the United States to hold such a position. Mr. Hardy passed a creditable examination and has filed his bond in compliance with the law. Mr. Hardy was formerly the first assistant weather observer at Pensacola, Fla. Rising in the might of their wrath against the theatre discriminations, the Negroes of the National Capital under the leadership of Architect Pittman, are going to build a $400,000 Lincoln memorial building, to include a theatre, stores and offices. Just see what the Negroes are being driven to, and now just watch for the reaction among the white theatres to get them back. Mr. Andrew Carnegie recently published over his own signature an interesting article in Colliers weekly describing the various types of libraries which he has given throughout the world. While he NO. 47 has given thousands of library buildings, he published only nine photographs of these buildings, as indicating the best types. Among the nine there was the photograph of the library building at the Tuskegee Institute. The architect of this building was R. R. Taylor, instructor in architecture at Tuskegee. Provincetown, Mass., Aug. 1. Following a boxing bout in which he took part at a smoker on board battleship Vermont last night, a colored mess attendant named Forter died today. His opponent named Williams, also colored was put under surveillance tonight There had been some ill feeling, it is said, between the two colored men and when it was proposed to hold a boxing bout in connection with the weekly smoker they volunteered to settle their grudge in a 10-round contest. The fight was a gruelling affair and both men badly punished. The victory was awarded to Williams. Foster after washing and treating his injuries, swung his hammock and retired. Today he complained of severe pains and he was removed to the sick bay. There he lay in distress until late in the afternoon, when he died. Chaplain W. Y. Anderson, of the Teath Cavalry, now stationed at Fort Ethan Allen, Vermont has been ordered before the retiring board of the United States Army. He has been in poor health for some years, owing to the rigors of the climate in the Philippines. He was appointed from Cleveland, Ohio, in 1897 by President McKinley, but is a native of Texas. He was raised to the rank of Major about a year ago. If retired from the army, it is probable that Chaplain Anderson will again engage of ministerial work of a congenial character. Several well-known Washingtonians are busily engaged in writing books. Robert L. Waring, the attorney, is preparing a work on the race problem, entitled "As We See It," Mr. Joseph C. Johnson, a 17th street merchant, announces a treatise on "Lynching and Mob Violence;" Mrs. Mary Church Terrell will soon issue a complication of her best lectures under the caption of "The Bright Side of a Dark Subject;" Mr. Charles F. M. Browne of the British Legation, is to put forward his experiences and observations in a volume called "Twenty-five Years of Diplomacy" and John H. Paynter is to supplement his "Abroad With Uncle Sam" by a companion narrative, "At Home With Uncle Sam," showing the inner workings of the departmental service at Washington. "PIPE OF PEACE" RESTORED. Graduates of Colby College Are This Year Enabled to Continue Old and Honored Practice. When the class of 1862 left Colpy they introduced a custom which lasted until 1903, with all the succeeding classes, says the Lewistown Journal. This custom was that of smoking on commencement day a pipe, which was kept at the college for this purpose, and on this eventful day in the lives of the graduates they all took a smoke from the pipe, whether they had ever smoked before or not. The so-called "Pipe of Peace" was an immense pipe with a stem two feet long and a bowl with a human face engraved upon it in the front, while around the sides were found many other profiles. This wonderful pipe remained at the college for forty-odd years and was smoked by every man who graduated during that time, but in 1903 it mysteriously disappeared, and was not heard from until the past week, when it was returned to the college. With the disappearance of the pipe the custom disappeared, and thus the classes since 1903 have not had the privilege of smoking a "pipe of peace." Now, however, that the pipe is safely back at the college, and is being watched over by Dr. Hall at the library, it is very probable that the old custom will again be taken up and that the class of 1909 will on commencement day of this year be seen puffing away at this valuable old relic Sardou Trophies Sold. At the sale of the first portion of the collection of the late Victorien Sardou 342 lots brought a total of nearly $155,000. Three sets of Aubusson tapestries were sold for $24,600. Sardou was an indefatigable and intrepid collector. He bought the porte-cochere of the house in which Danton lived, for the house was pulled down to make room for the Boluevard St. Germain. This doorway was presented in the name of the Sardou family to the Carnavalot museum. ILLUSTRATORS DESIGNERS HALF-TONE, ZINC WOOD & COPPER PLATE, ENGRAVING COPPER WORK THE DENVER ENGRAVING CO.

Denver.—Melvin Edwards, for many years prominent in Colorado politics, died at his home in this city Wednesday morning at the age of 59 years. He had been ill for several months. Mr. Edwards came to Denver from Wisconsin in 1874 and since that time has been prominently connected with projects that were launched for the betterment of the state. He was secretary of state for two terms, during the years of 1882 to 1886 and after enjoying the honors of the state office he became deputy United States marshal under Dewey C. Balley. Mr. Edwards is survived by a widow, a brother and a sister. Fire which is supposed to have started from an overheated furnace in the Tambourine cyanide mill at Wall Street, Boulder county, completely gutted that property on the morning of the 4th inst. The loss is estimated at $25,000 to $50,000, with only $5,000 insurance. The mill caught fire recently and was partially destroyed. It had just resumed operations after extensive repairs and improvements. It was built to handle by the cyanide process the ore from the Tambourine mine. May Rebuild Elbert Line Denver.—The Republican Thursday morning says: There is a possibility that the Burlington and Colorado & Southern railroads, each of which is now a portion of the Hill system of railroads, will shortly be operating over their own tracks between this city and Pueblo. They will not build a new new line as reported, paralleling the Santa Fe, now used by the Colorado & Southern and the Denver & Rio Grande, but will, in all likelihood, utilize the ancient line of the Colorado & Southern to Pueblo via Elbert and Elizabeth, which will be rebuilt and put in first class shape. Burlington and Colorado & Southern engineers are now investigating thoroughly the old line and will report on its feasibility soon. It is as short to Pueblo as the two rival roads, but considerably longer to Colorado Springs, which is reached by a spur westward from Manitou Junction, six miles east of Colorado Springs. This information was given out by Vice President Daniel Willard of the Burlington who was in Denver yesterday. Gunnison Tunnel Celebration. Denver.—F. D. Catlin, chairman of the committee on the opening of the Gunnison tunnel at Montrose, visited Governor John F. Shafroth Thursday to discuss the celebration. One hundred and fifty thousand acres will be placed under irrigation, including 25,000 now under orchard cultivation, when the tunnel is opened, and Mr. Catlin asked for a proper recognition of this great event by the state. President Taft is to be present, and Governor Shafroth agreed to send a battery of artillery to help on the celebration. The War Department is to be asked for permission to use some of the government tents to accommodate any overflow that the hotels may not be able to take care of. Colorado Springs was 38 years old on the 31st ult. The first stake for the Fountain colony was driven July 31st, 1871, at what is now the southeast corner of Pike's Peak and Cascade avenues, which is marked by an inscribed stone. No official observance was held. The Grand Junction charter convention has practically completed its work of framing a new charter. If it is adopted, the commissioners under the new charter will assume office the Tuesday following the second Monday in November.

Two new divisions have been created in the agricultural department of the Colorado Agricultural college, the department of animal husbandry and the department of farm mechanics. Prof. George E. Morgan was given charge of the first and Prof. H. H. Bainer the second. The compression house at the Calliope mine, three and one-half miles from Ouray, burned on the night of August 3d, and although a few thousand dollars will cover the actual money loss, enforced suspension of work in the mine and in the drainage tunnel will entail extensive losses. The State Normal Summer school at Greeley closed the last of July. There was a marked increase in attendance over previous years. A large number registered for non-resident work. Twenty received diplomas and it is now arranged that there will be graduations every term of the school year. The annual corn roast at Loveland will be held August 19th. In addition to the regulation free dinner of roast corn, sandwiches and coffee, there will be added a large agricultural and horticultural display and an industrial parade. A great program of races has been arranged for August 19th and 20th. Because they were able to satisfy the court that they were indigent and unable to pay the fines assessed to them, five of the bootleggers arrested in a sensational raid in Grand Junction several weeks ago, convicted and who have served out a part of their fine in jail, have been ordered released by District Judge Shackleford.

SENATE VOTE 47 TO 31 SENATE VOTE 47 TO 31 CONCURRENT RESOLUTION ON LEATHER PASSED BY BOTH HOUSES. Washington.—The tariff has been revised and the extraordinary session of Congress has been brought to a close. Both houses adjourned sine die officially at 6 o'clock tonight. That is the time entered upon the journals, but as a matter of fact the house adjourned at 5:38 and the Senate at 5:58 p. m. The vote was 47 ayes, 31 nays. The bill received all the Republican votes except those of Bristow, Clapp, Cummins, Dolliver, La Follette, Beveridge and Nelson. The Senate then passed the concurrent resolution reducing the rates in the leather schedule. Following is the vote on the bill in detail: Yeas—Aldrich, Borah, Bourne, Bradley, Branddee, Brown, Bulkeley, Burkett, Burnham, Burrows, Burton, Carter, Clark (Wyoming), Crane, Crawford, Cullom, Curtis, Depew, Dick, Dixon, Dupont, Elkins, Flint, Frye, Gamble, Guggenheim, Hale, Heyburn, Johnson, Jones, Kean, Lodge, Lorimer, McCumber, Oliver, Page, Penrose, Perkins, Piles, Root, Scott, Smith (Michigan), Smoot, Stephenson, Sutherland, Warner, Wetmore—47. Nays—Bacon, Bailey, Bankhead, Beveridge, Bristow, Chamberlain, Clapp, Clay, Culberson, Cummins, Daniel, Dolliver, Fletcher, Foster, Frazer, Gore, Hughes, La Follette, McLaurin, Martin, Nelson, Newlands, Overman, Paynter, Rayner, Shively, Simmons, Smith (Maryland), Smith (South Carolina), Stone, Talafero—31. Senator McEnergy (Louisiana), Democrat, who was absent, was paired for the bill. He was the only Democrat favoring the measure. The pairs on the bill were as follows, those for it being first mentioned: Briggs with Johnson, Dillingham with Tillman, Gallinger with Taylor, Nixon with Owen, Richardson with Clarke (Arkansas), Warren with Money, McEnergy with Davis. The conference report was agreed to by the Senate, 47 to 31, at 2 p. m., and soon afterward the concurrent resolution making certain changes in the leather schedule was adopted by both houses. President Taft arrived at the capitol at 4:45 p. m., and entered the President's room. His appearance there, the first since being President, caused congressmen to form in line to be received by him. There was a constant procession of handshaking statesmen through the President's room from the time of his arrival until his departure at 5:50 o'clock. At six minutes past five the Payne tariff bill, as the measure will be known, was laid before the President. He picked up a pen supplied by chairman Payne, which had been used by both the vice president and the speaker in signing the bill, and attached his signature. After writing "William H. Taft" the President added: "Signed 5 minutes after 5 o'clock, August 5, 1909.—W. H. T." As the senators, one after another, filed into the room, the President had something of a personal nature to say to each, and good nature appeared to be overflowing. The concurrent resolution amending the leather schedule of the tariff bill was adopted by the house without a dissenting vote. President's Explanation. Washington.—President Taft Thursday night gave out a statement embodying his views of the new tariff act. He supported it as a sincere effort for downward revision. In this statement he says: "I have signed the Payne tariff bill because I believe it to be the result of sincere effort on the part of the Republican party to make a downward revision and to comply with the promises of the platform as they have been generally understood, and as I interpreted them in the campaign. "There have been a great number of real decreases in rates and they constitute a sufficient amount to justify the statement that this bill is a substantial downward revision and a reduction of excessive rates. "This is not a free trade bill; it was not intended to be. The republican party did not promise to make a free trade bul." President Taft Celebrates. Washington.—With the tariff bill passed and the animosities of conference and debate all but forgotten, the "tariff builders" sat with the President at dinner Thursday night in the White House. It was Mr. Taft's celebration of the end of the tariff fight and his farewell dinner of the season. The Democratic members of the committees which framed the tariff bill were included in the president's invitation. Practically all of the prominent figures in the tariff fight were at the dinner except the "insurgents." A SURE SIGN. When It Appears Act at Once. Trouble with the kidney secretions is a certain sign that your kidneys are deranged and that you should use Doan's Kidney Pills. They cure all irregularities and annoyances, remove backache and side pains and restore the kidneys to health. Charles Cole, 204 N. Buckeye St., Iola, Kans., says: "The kidney secretions were irregular, scanty and painful and contained sediment. My back was stiff and lame and the kidneys to hear. Charles Cole, 204 N. Buckeye St., Iola, Kans., says: "The kidney secretions were irregular, scanty and painful and contained sediment. My back was stiff and lame and my limbs swelled. I grew weak and discouraged. Doan's Kidney Pills removed these troubles entirely. I have been well for two years." Remember the name—Doan's. Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. A LONG WAY BACK. George—There's Miss Passay. She claims she's never been kissed. Harry—Why, I've kissed her myself, years ago. She means not since she can remember. The Force of Habit. One of the campers had done something peculiarly idiotic, and the dean said: "Dick reminds me of Thomas' colt." "What about Thomas' colt?" asked Dick, cheerfully. "Why," the dean responded, readily, "where I lived in Maine when I was a boy an old man named Thomas raised horses. He once put out to pasture a colt, which had been fed from its birth in a box stall and watered at the trough in the yard. "The pasture lay across a small river, and in the middle of the day the colt swam the stream to go up to the barn-yard for a drink of water."—Youth's Companion. Crop Growing on Small Scale. A small holder in East Lexham is making an interesting experiment in barley growing upon his land to test the possibility of raising corn on a small scale. In 1907 he sowed 78 specially selected grains of barley, which yielded 400 ears. The resulting kernels he sowed in 1908 and harvested in 14 weeks, with the result that he got a bushel of threshed barley, which he has sown this year, his object being to show what can be done in cereal cultivation from very small beginnings.—London Standard. Either Way. Mr. Wilkins had been sitting quietly on a nail keg, perusing a paper which he had found on the counter. The date of it he had not noticed. Finally he looked up with a puzzled expression. "What's this wireless telegraph signal, this 'C. O. D.' they're talking about?" he asked. "I guess it's 'C. Q. D.' ain't it?' suggested Holbrook, the grocer. "Anyway, it's a signal of distress," he added, moodily. THE NEW WOMAN Made Over by Quitting Coffee. Coffee probably wrecks a greater percentage of Southerners than of Northern people for Southerners use it more freely. The work it does is distressing enough in some instances; as an illustration, a woman of Richmond, Va., writes: "I was a coffee drinker for years and for about six years my health was completely shattered. I suffered fearfully with headache and nervousness, also palpitation of the heart and loss of appetite. "My sight gradually began to fall and finally I lost the sight of one eye altogether. The eye was operated upon and the sight partially restored, then I became totally blind in the other eye. "My doctor used to urge me to give up coffee, but I was willful and continued to drink it until finally in a case of severe illness the doctor insisted that I must give up the coffee, so I began using Postum, and in a month I felt like a new creature. "I steadily gained in health and strength. About a month ago I began using Grape-Nuts food and the effect has been wonderful. I really feel like a new woman and have gained about 25 pounds. "I am quite an elderly lady and before using Postum and Grape-nuts I could not walk a square without exceeding fatigue, now I walk ten or twelve without feeling it.

Reference: Carbonate National Bank DOINGS AT THE CAPITAL J. S. Harlan Mentioned for High Bench Diplomatic Sinecures to Be Abolished Value of "Tariff Menagerie" Imports Old Sea Dogs Are Learning New Tricks SUPREME BENCH WASHINGTON.—A very interesting bit of unusual summer gossip concerning changes in the personnel of the supreme court of the United States connects the name of James S. Harlan, member of the interstate commerce commission, with an associate justicehip in succession to his distinguished father, John Marshall Harlan, who has been on the supreme bench since 1877, and who recently celebrated his seventy-sixth birthday. It would occasion no surprise should one or two changes in the personnel of the highest federal tribunal take place at the beginning of the fall term. Chief Justice Fuller, now in his seventy-seventh year, and Associate Justice Harlan have been credited with retirement inclinations at various times for some years past. It became evident, however, after much talk of this character, that there would be no retirements from the supreme bench during the Roosevelt administration and latterly it has been said that neither the chief justice nor Justice Harlan was disposed to relax the labors which are so congenial to them. But with Mr. Taft in the office of appointive power many are inclined to believe there is a probability of a change of mind, af- CONSULAR SERVICE HEREAFTER there will be no purely ornamental places in the foreign service of the United States. While this cannot be said to be new policy, it is the declared intention of the present administration, and especially of the state department, that there shall be no deviation from it. This rule will not be made to apply only to the diplomatic service, but to the consular offices of the United States from the highest to the lowest. In years past there have been many complaints that the consular service of the United States was, generally speaking, inefficient and of a much lower grade than that of many foreign countries having representatives in the United States. The state department officials themselves in previous years have acknowledged this, and while the service has improved of late, it has not made the rapid advance that is noticeable in the service of some of our foreign trade competitors. At present this government has in foreign countries 298 consuls and consuls general, with a large number of TARiff JESTER TARiff MENAGERIE THE "tariff menagerie," a term used by congressional humorists to designate a miscellaneous assortment of articles of import, threatens to be an issue between the United States bureau of statistics and the "funny men" of the Senate and house in Wash. of the senate and house in Washington. The management of the bureau, which keeps an accurate account of every article imported, its name, value and the duty paid, is perturbed because some of the articles in the menagerie list have been made the basis of many jests by the congressmen who see the humorous side of the thing. In a statement issued recently, the bureau maintains that these articles, which have a recognized value, illustrate the scope of the commerce of the United States and HERVE TO THERE A SOLITARY horseman rode rapidly down the street a good many times in Washington the other day. He was a solitary horseman because he was not particularly anxious to have any one ride with him. He could sail a man-o'-war, mayhap, and brave the perils of the brimy deep, but his horsemanship was scarcely at par. The solitary horseman was a commissioned officer in Uncle Sam's navy. On July 4 the order issued by President Roosevelt that these officers fected also by other developments. President Taft, himself a former federal judge, sat in the same circuit from which Justice Harlan was appointed to the supreme bench, and there doubtless is what may be termed a bond of judicial interest between them. It is felt that should judicial distinction be bestowed upon James S. Harlan, who has inherited the judicial temperament, the honor would be something peculiarly appreciated by both father and son for obvious reasons aside from the general considerations pertaining to a supreme court appointment. That conditions have arisen which may cause Justice Harlan to decide to take up duties in the service of the Presbyterian church, which would be possible only through his retirement from the bench, is part of the latest gossip. James S. Harlan, if appointed to the supreme bench, would take to that body expert knowledge of interstate commerce matters which will more and more occupy the attention of the court. The late gossip also connects Chief Justice Fuller's name with revived plans to make an international trial court out of The Hague tribunal, which is said to be an aim of President Taft. Should matters eventuate as gossip suggests Illinois still would have a representative in the highest court of the land and the way still be open to fill another vacancy from the circuit of which Ohio and Kentucky—the latter the state from which Justice Harlan was appointed 32 years ago—form a part. vice and deputy consuls, interpreters, etc., making a total of about 1,200, and it is the expressed determination of the state department to elevate the service in every possible way. A working familiarity with the subjects with which they will have to deal is demanded to a greater extent than ever before. It is the purpose of the state department to unify the work of the diplomatic and consular services in the interest of greater efficiency. For many years it has been a matter of regret to the government that so many native foreigners occupy subordinate positions in our consular service as deputies and clerks. This, however, has been largely a matter of inadequate compensation, but the policy from now on will be to substitute Americans for foreigners wherever it is possible to do so and considerable progress has already been made in this direction. Within a comparatively short time the percentage of foreigners in our consular service has been reduced from 46.1 per cent. to 18.8 per cent., and the percentage of Americans in that service has been increased from 53.9 to 81.2 per cent. These percentages, however, apply only to clerkships paying $800 a year or less, but the work of weeding out foreigners will continue as long as Americans of the requisite capacity can be obtained to fill the places. present some ominous facts. For instance, reference is made to divi divi, leeches, rose leaves, dragons' blood, palladium, musk, birds, wild animals, chicle and cobras. The value of the imports of the last decade of divi divi, which is used for tanning purposes, is placed at $85,000. In the same period the value of leeches brought in was $40,000; rose leaves $20,000, and chicle, largely used in the manufacture of gum, $8,000,000. During the year 1908 the musk importations exceeded $80,000, while the quantity of palladium, a rare metal used in the manufacture of astronomical instruments and by dentists, represented a value of $700. Pains have been taken to expla- that dragons' blood is really not drag- ons' blood at all, but a mere name for a deep reddish resinous substance obtained from a variety of trees in the orient, and used extensively as an ingredient in varnishes, stains and for making etchings on copper and zinc. The value of the importations of this article during the last decade is placed at $60,000. should ride 90 miles on horseback in three consecutive days, walk 50 miles in the same length of time, or ride 100 miles on a bicycle in three consecutive days became effective. The order was issued January 4 last, but the president gave the officers several months in which to prepare for the tests. President Taft has been asked to rescind the order, but he has agreed with his predecessor that the tests would be of benefit to the navy. A large number of ensigns, lieutenants, lieutenant commanders, captains and read admirals stationed in and about Washington have begun the tests. The state, war and navy building is the usual starting point. The younger men are essaying the horseback test, but the older ones seem to prefer walking. Possibly it is hard to teach an old sea dog new tricks. "MAKES BETTER RAILROADS." Western Writer Pays Tribute to Railroad Magnate as Builder-Up of the Country. Mr. Edward H. Harriman is on a trip to Europe. Ordinarily there would need be nothing added to this announcement beyond an exhortation to Emperor William to chain down his railroads and to other monarchs to put their crowns and other valuables in the safe at night. But Mr. Harriman is going off on a pleasure trip, and so many mean things have been said about him that it will not hurt any to change the tune a moment while he is out of the country and not able to take any advantage of the lapse from the cold attitude of severity that is usually used in mentioning the name of Harriman. Of all the great railroad men developed in this generation, E. H. Harriman is easily the biggest and the best, says a writer in the Hutchinson (Kan.) Daily News. The head of a railroad company, under the rules of the game, must work for his stockholders, whether it is for the advantage of politicians, shippers or consumers. It is his job to do the best he can for the interests entrusted to his care. Harriman is not only a financier, but he is a builder and an operator. Lucky is the town, city or community that has a Harriman road. He insists on a good roadbed, level track, safe track and the convenience and comfort of the traveler and the shipper. The Harriman roads are noted as the best in the country. When Harriman gets hold of a one-horse or played-out track and right of way he proceeds to put it in first class condition. He does not raise the rates of fares, although he doubtless charges "a plenty," but he insists that enough of the funds go into real improvements to make a railroad. And that is where he stands ahead of a good many others and why Harrimanism is not such a bad thing as some people have been led to think. He makes better railroads, and there is more need for improvement that way than there is in some others which are being discussed. So far as we can see, he believes in giving every interest along his road a fair deal. He is a public benefactor from that standpoint. He uses his power fairly. He is a great man, and as good or better than the ordinary citizen who looks upon him as the personification of the money power, seeking whom it may devour. He is a strong man in the financial world, but that should not be against him, when the financial world is the object which most of us want to reach. He is a good American and he spends his money on American railroads, not on foreign titles, race horses, old editions or other bad habits. If he is not perfect—and we don't think he is—he is no exception to the rule and is worthy of the praise of his fellow citizens for the good he does and has done. Laughter a Series of Barks. Laughing is barking, say the scientists: The neck and head are thrown back while a series of short barks are emitted from the throat. However musical the barks may be, they are barks. The laugh begins with a sudden and violent contraction of the muscles of the chest and abdomen. But instead of opening to let the air pass out of the lungs, the vocal cords approach each other and hold it back. But they are not strong enough to exercise such opposition for more than an instant, and the air, which is under pressure, promptly escapes. As it does so it makes the vocal cords vibrate producing the bark. This obstruction and liberation of the air expelled from the lungs repeats itself again and again at intervals of a quarter of a second. There are thus in a hearty laugh four barks a second, and if continued, they go on at that rate as long as the air reserve in the lungs holds out. The empty lungs must then fill themselves, and this interval is marked by a quick gasp for breath, after which the barks are renewed. The barks occur in series with gasps for breath at intervals. When laughter is violent, the entire body participates. The upper part of the trunk bends and straightens itself alternately or sways to right and left. The feet stamp on the floor, while the hands are pressed upon the loins to moderate the painful spasm. "So you don't think Mars would reply, even if we did send signals?" "I am almost convinced that there would be no response." answered Prof. Thinkum, adjusting his glasses. "Then you don't believe that, Mars is inhabited?" "On the contrary, I think it extremely probable that life similar to our own exists on the sister planet." "But you don't give those people credit for intelligence equal to ours." credit for intelligence equal to ours: "Yes. I am inclined to credit them with even greater intelligence than we display. There are many indications that they have a civilization older than ours, in which case they should have too much sense to fool away their time on any such impractical proposition." The Way He Did It. Jenkins—Well, sir, I gave it to that man straight, I can tell you. He is twice as big as I am, too, but I told him exactly what I thought of his rascally conduct right to his face, and I called him all the names in the dictionary, and a lot of others as well. Studds—And didn't he try to hit you, Jenkins? Jenkins—No, sir, he didn't. And when he tried to answer back, I just hung up the telephone receiver and walked away.

We want these not alone for our own financial benefit, but because their appearance in this newspaper will pay the advertisers and at the same time be a source of help to Denver.

Denver is the Mecca of all travelers to the West, and many of them acquaint themselves with our business people through us. The value of letting the home community know you is thus greatly enhanced to your credit. Talk it over with the manager. FAKING. There is a sentiment amounting almost to universal conviction among Negroes that the pretensions of Negroes to achieved standards of greatness should not be criticised, but that every Negro who shines in an assumed light should be praised and boosted. That the Negro deserves encouragement in every sincere, judicious and determined effort cannot be denied, but to commend and adopt a false standard is far more injurious to the Negro in the long run than a prompt and emphatic condemnation would be at its beginning. An article published in this paper two weeks ago, written by a man of keen observation and wide experience, spoke of the evil of our weakness for banquets. From Washington to San Francisco and from Chicago to New Orleans this is a social indulgence which is greatly overdone. The government employees at Washington catch the idea from prevailing official customs in court circles and every man or woman who is forced into public prominence by unavoidable circumstances is banqueted, applauded, and then forgotten. The fashion is copied throughout the country. The Negro's position in this country is such that the money wasted on useless banquets could be employed with far greater benefit in the furtherance of needed improvement for which the race at large is languishing. The strained social forms and functions of every character which we assume in almost every community, and which are far out of keeping with the character of our homes and the amount of our incomes, are another evidence of extravagant pretensions which becomes the basis for burlesque and minstrelsy in the playhouses of white people. Our educational institutions, our churches, our uniformed orders, our professions and even our business establishments think it no particular evil to lend a certain amount of encouragement to that race weakness which expresses itself in extravagant assumption and display and undeserved flattery. No wonder that unknown individuals with pompous manners and unusual apparel can dupe our communities and divide us into antagonistic factions. No wonder that our men and women of real merit and worth must always measure arms with the superficial jackleg and pretender. The standards of the race need to be raised and made to measure up with those of other people, and the sober, serious, solemn needs of the Negro should be made the anchor by which our injudicious indulgences and unwarranted fripperies will be restrained. CITIZENSHIP OF THE FUTURE sometimes expressed by solons and procs is to become the future home of an an all the principal races of the earth, and race differentiation is to be eventually judicial interpretation of existing laws national tendencies. A recent case is of the great ports of the country furthest serving in the navy of Uncle Sa The idea sometimes expressed by solons and prognosticators that the United States is to become the future home of an annalgamated race, made up from all the principal races of the earth, and that through it the problems of race differentiation is to be eventually solved, is but a dream if the judicial interpretation of existing laws furnishes a correct prospect of national tendencies. A recent case in a federal court located at one of the great ports of the country furnishes the proof. A man who has been serving in the navy of Uncle Sam for more than twenty years, but who is not a citizen, and who, in all that time has never been in the United States but twice for a long enough period to follow out the necessary forms for filing application papers, succeeded in taking the first steps in his long-desired purpose on his second opportunity, his first opportunity having been interrupted by a sudden order to sail with his ship. In his application for citizenship papers he stated that he was born aboard ship in Chinese waters, that his father was an Englishman and his mother of mixed Japanese and Chinese descent. The federal court promptly decided that his blood lineage makes him a Mongolian, an equal division of Caucasian blood having no effect toward eliminating his racial identification with persons of the yellow race, and that under the laws of the United States at present in force only white persons and Negroes of African descent could become citizens of the United States. The circumstances of this case make perfectly apparent the desire of nationalists to put an effectual check upon the possibility of such race mixtures as can be avoided. The Negro's unalterable presence is the only thing that prevents the United States from being a white man's country as much as is England Germany, or any other European country. The necessary adoption of "Negroes of African descent" in America's white population probably will not be held to include South American Negroes, nor any other than those of the direct stock, from whom there is no danger, and the present Negro population of the United States will therefore never be augmented by outside stock. Ten millions of Negroes, however, make the problem of entire elimination too gigantic for any nation to accomplish, and the United States is forced to accept the racial stock most radically opposed to the Caucasian. The measures which nations adopt to protect themselves and perpetuate their control of their own domain are all curiosities in themselves, for they are all ingenious device against forces which men fear more than they understand. When It Is Sin and When Joy By REV. MADISON C. PETERS HAT we should all be clad as beautifully and as gracefully as possible is proved by the fact that God has put robes of beauty and glory upon all his works. T The love of beauty belongs to every woman. A sloven is an abomination. Rudeness is sin. Excess is what I inveigh against. The prevailing spirit of extravagance is making more defaulters than any other one thing. Many a man has given up all high ambition for study, for self-denying service o his fellow-men, stifled the voice of his conscience when it demanded sacrifice and devoted himself to the one object of gaining, by hook or crook (and either of them is far from being straight), the wherewithal to keep sunshine in his house by the unlimited indulgence of a fashion-pampered woman's fancies. manded sacrifice and devoted himself to the one object of gaining, by hook or crook (and either of them is far from being straight), the wherewithal to keep sunshine in his house by the unlimited indulgence of a fashion-pampered woman's fancies. Dress has sent many men to the penitentiary. Benedict Arnold proposed to sell his country to get money to keep up the extravagance of the home wardrobe. Many a poor girl, bewildered by the applause which greets her pompous sisters, concludes that the world loves ornament and display above character and disposition and soon is wrapped in style—at too high an expense. Faust's casket of jewels—who shall count the Marguerites it has slain? Fashion dwarfs the intellect and eats out the heart of our people. Genius dies on its luxurious altar. Talent withers in its voluptuous embrace. Goodness gives up the ghost at her nod. It has made society a great showroom, hollow and insincere. Fashion kills more than the hardships of poverty. The shop girl sees two generations of her fashionable sisters fade away. The washerwoman, with scarce a ray of hope to cheer her in her toils, lives to see her fashionable sisters die all around her. The cook is hearty and strong, while the women dressed like a doll, fed to order, must be nursed like a baby and kept from a hysterical fit by a sugar plum. Adornment can never take the place of graces of character. If you will wear ornaments outwardly, see to it that there are pearls and diamonds within, and that for everything that is beautiful, either in hair or dress, there is something richer for the hidden life of the soul.

Life is not a toy to be played with, an ornament to exhibit, a bubble to float in the air, nor an insect to dance on the wave until some wind overtakes it. It is not a slow or dreamy indulgence, not a plague that wastes. MADISON PRINTING Life is a gift of God, a single opportunity with possibilities vast enough to fill time and eternity with the beatitudes of God, the joy of angels and the praise of men. Years of close observation and daily contact with both men and women have disclosed to me beyond question why there are so many more old maids and old bachelors to-day than there were 20 or more years ago. Cause for Old Maids and Bachelors By E. LOUNSBURY Looking back into the past brings to my mind the fact that women, either married or single, who engaged in business were comparatively few, and this is doubtless one of the reasons why there were fewer divorces and more marriages. The independence of the working girl frightens many would-be lovers away. When a man is earning $75 or $80 a month he doubtless would have some delicacy in proposing to a girl who is capable of earning as high a salary as he and even if he should be brave enough the girl to whose hand he aspires would hardly consider him eligible as a husband. Another and perhaps the chief reason why a great many girls do not get married is simply that they do not get the opportunity. And whose fault is it that they do not get the opportunity? Usually their own. Girls—at least a large majority of them—are so eager for the society of men that they make themselves absolutely disgusting. A man admires the girl who does not fling herself at his feet and the more she avoids him the harder he will try to win her. If a girl is not innately refined and delicate she should at least assume to be, for her own sake. If girls could but see it, their happiness lies entirely within their own power. doubtless would have some delicacy in proposing to a girl who is capable of earning as high a salary as he and even if he should be brave enough the girl to whose hand he aspires would hardly consider him eligible as a husband.

Polygamy is the rule in Nigeria, the reason given by the natives being that it is impossible for one woman to do all the work of the house, look after the children, prepare and cook the food, fetch the daily supply of water (often an arduous job), cultivate the plantation and go to market. And the reason is that the African is an exceedingly hungry person. It is their custom to eat several times a day when at home and the men spend most of their day sitting in the palaver house, or market place, while the women bring the food all day long. One wife could not possibly do Polygamy Solves Domestic Problem By W. JULIAN GASSON this. Besides, the African lady encourages it, for she says: "The more wives the less work." Among the Ahiaras, Onichas, Obuwus and the lower class of pagan tribes in the interior there is very little form of marriage. As soon as a man has the means he pays the parents what they want in the shape of goats, cows, beads, money, and takes the girl. There is no ceremony at all. The more wives he has indicates a richer man and that he will be better looked after. If, of course, they can manage to seize a woman from the neighboring tribe while she is fetching water or working on her farm so much the cheaper. With this method in vogue for centuries no wonder that it is as much as a native's life is worth to go out of his own village and that the country is so backward. this.

Victor Walker, President. C. O. West, Secretary and Manager. Convention of the National Negro Business League at Louisville Ky. HIS SITUATION TO BE ENVIED. Sheep Herder's Post Is No Longer One of Isolation. At the head of a deep, wooded canyon, a branch of Upper McKay creek, I came upon a sheep herder's tent the other day, and at sight of the camp there in the woods I moralized upon the fate of the sheep herder, and my heart went out in sympathy for him in his alleged "loneliness." The 9th Annual Convention of the National Negro Business League which is to be held at Louisville, in "old Kentucky," Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 18, 19 and 20th, promises to be one of the most interesting and best attended conventions that have been held since the organization of the League at Boston, nine years ago. The stimulating effect upon Negro business enterprise which this League has been exerting under the direction of Dr. Booker T. Washington and his official staff has been clearly seen and appreciated and, in part, explains the League's constantly increasing membership. But upon visiting his camp that evening I "took back" what I said in sympathy for him and almost envied the entertaining versality of his seclusion. In one corner of his tent was a good phonograph and nearer it several choice records. For my delight he rendered two or three selections by Patti, Caruso, Sehumann Heink and other singers, a speech by Bryan, a vaudeville selection and an act from Shakespeare's "Jullus Caesar." Under the head of his bed were half a dozen of the best magazines (some of which I had not found time to read), and at the foot of the bed lay well thumbed copies of the latest novels. The central location of Louisville, the special railroad rates that have been secured for all delegates (a fare and a third, plus 50 cents) the excellent program which is being arranged, and the many social features and other attractions which have been provided for all indicate an unusually large attendance. The officers of the Local Negro Business League of Louisville are working energetically to make this the banner meeting of the League and the generous provisions already made for the reception and entertainment of delegates and visitors, justifies the prediction that all those who attend will be treated to genuine Kentucky hospitality. I looked at this bronzed son of the hills in genuine envy. Here he may read, write, think, commune with nature, or be carried to the great conservatories of the artists, while the driven slaves of the city must bead over a desk day and night to meet the terrific competition of this soulless commercial age—East Oregonian.

Be True to Present Duty delegates and visitors, justifies the prediction that all those who attend will be treated to genuine Kentucky hospitality.

Of Twelve New Members Sworn in Last March Nine Are Without the Customary Heavy Ac- count at the Bank, | aires’ Club” for the United States sen: [ae is a misnomer. The chief quali- fication for admittance to that body is no longer a bank account running into seven or eight figures, It is get- ting to be a poor man’s club, lor | several years It has been the eustom to refer to the senate in satirical | terms as an exclusive retreat reserved for millionaires. “How much money has he?” was the first question Washingtonians asked each other when a new man came in with senatorial credentials in his hand, He was expected to build |or rent a palace in the fashionable Northwest, stock a stable with blood- ed animals, entertain like a prince at costly dinners and other entertain- ments and drop into the senate occa- sionally. ‘ If these Croesuses were a little shy on statesmanship, knew nothing alout our foreign relations and the theory of finance, no fault was found with them. So long as they had made their pile and were willing to let some of it go, they were deemed to have qualified for membership in the mil- Houaires’ club, and the folks were willing to let it go at that, ‘Those were the days of such multi- millionaires as Clark of Montana, who was suposed to be worth $25,000,000 was supposed to be worth $25,000,000 000; McMillan of Michigan, with an- other $10,000,000; Dryden of New Jer- sey, with $5,000,000 or so; Brice of Ohio, $5,000,000, and Proctor of Ver- mont, $3,000,000, ‘Then there were 15 or 20 others who had been so unfortunate in life as to be able to accumulate a bare million or so. This lot included Cam- eron of Pennsylvania, Jones of Neva- da, Stewart of Nevada, Wolcott of Colorado and Hanna of Ohio, In those days the dominant feature of the senate was the dollar mark, and the roll call sounded like a Roose. velt list of rich malefactors. A sen ator would think nothing of gobbling up a railroad system or two before go- ing to work at the big building on the hill, and before night his stock operations might create a panic in Wall street. Now, all this is changed. A poor man is no longer lonely in the United States senate. He has plenty of com pany. Of the 12 men who were sworn in on March 4 nine are poor. Two are rich and another has been able, by leading a life of celibacy and fru- gality, to accumulate about $100,000. Two other senators who were sworn in a few months previously are also classified among the impoverished, By a liberal estimate there are 15 millionaires in the United States sen- ate. If the exact truth about the state of the finances of these men were known, it is likely that several of them would be dropped from this list of modern Midases. It’s not an easy thing to ascertain correctly the worldly possessions of people these days. However, the following sena- tors are generally looked upon in Washington as being millionaires, some of them multi-millionatres: Nelson B. Aldrich of Rhode Island, Morgan G. Bulkeley of Connecticut, W. Murray Crane of Massachusetts, Chauncey M, Depew of New York, Henry A. DuPont of Delaware, Steph- en B. Elkins of West Virginia, Simon Guggenheim of Colorado, Francis G. Newlands of Nevada, George S. Nixon of Nevada, George T. Oliver of Penn- sylvania, Nathan B, Scott of West Virginia, Isaac Stephenson of Wiscon- sin, Francis E, Warren of Wyoming, John Kean of New Jersey and George P. Wetmore of Rhode Island. ‘There are several other men who might be termed “near millionaires.” ‘They include Jonathan Bourne of Ore- gon, George C. Perkins of California, Elihu Root of New York and Charles J. Hughes, Jr., of Colorado, Against this select group of 19 men fs the great array of senators who are well fixed, comfortably well off and poor. The last classification {8 the most numerous, and takes in the men who have nothing but their sal- aries. Especially in the western states is the tendency growing to send poor men to the senate.

Soon more eyes turned to the gallery and as Sen- ‘ator Lorimer's family is just a little ‘above the senatorial average there was pleasant comment. “Bet $10 there is at least one pair of twins,” observed Senator Brande- gee of Connecticut, a bachelor. Senator Carter of Montana, noted ‘the almost identical height of the last four girls. It doesn't take Senator Corter long to tumble. He used to ‘sell books in his younger days and he knows. “Rake that bet,” he remarked Iacon- ically. Senator Brandegee had to be game. When Senator Lorimer took his seat Senator Carter sauntered over, shook hands warmly and extended the usual congratulations. “Fine family that of yours,” he ob- served. “Not all mine,” apologized Senator Lorimer. Senator Carter jingled two half dol- lars and thought of his bet. “How many?” he asked. “First boy and four of the girls,” an- swered Senator Lorimer. After the bet had been collected it developed that the other young man in the party is not a member of the Lorimer family, but wants to be, and that two of the young women are nicces of Senator Lorimer, but want- ed to see him sworn in just as bad as his own daughters did. TELLS OF TIMBERDOODLE JAG Mixed Drink That Made Poets of Wooden Indians Invented by Fa- ther of Pretty Peggy O'Neil. Washington.—Hver drink a timber- doodle? Victor Murdock, the red- headed recalcitrant Republican repre- sentative from Kansas, is authority for the statement that back in the days of pretty Peggy O'Neil, who eaused a social war and cabinet cri- sis, the timberdoodle was the favorite “veveraze at her father’s tavern. | In a valuable historical contribu- tion apropos to the passing of the Metropolitan hotel as one of Wash- ington's most famous hostelries, Mr. Murdock insinuated that Peggy's fa- ther’s tavern was the birthplace of the timberdoodle, which, he says, was a famous mixed drink in the early days of the republic and caused as much trouble as Peggy. But let Mr. Murdock speak for himself: “It was here at the tavern bar that the timberdoodle first was mixed, be- ing a variation on an earlier and less famous concoction called ‘stone fence.’ ‘The timberdoodle cost a flip and a bit a drink, ‘hard Jackson,’ paid ‘dead on the nail,’ that 1s, 18% cents in coin and no tick. It was a searching fluid that would fill the head of a wooden Indian with fairy fancies. It may have been responsible for the postmaster general's return of Jonathan Melgs’ famous order, excluding books from the mail because the sharp corners rubbed the addresses off the letters. And it may also have inspired Cal- houn’s {dea of sending a boatload of skyrockets up the Missouri river to impress and subdue the western In- dians,” What prohibition Kansas will say when it learns that the red-headed pride of Wichita has started his name thundering down the ages through a revival of an almost forgotten intoxi- cant will be worth hearing. The worst of the thing is that Mr. Murdock has not produced the timberdoodle recipe. Mr. Murdock’s Washington address is the capitol. si Washington's Little Moon. A Cincinnati man recently brought a new yarn to Washington. It relates to the days when the Cox machine owned the place even up to and in- cluding the board of education. One night the board had a sitting in its favorite saloon. Among the members was one of German extraction. ‘The board was adjourning and had filed aut upon the street about 2 a. m. The “orbed maiden” was just disap- pearing behind a church _ steeple. “Look at the moon,” remarked one of the men. “Dot moon!” exclaimed the German contemptuously, “dot is nodings. You ought to see de vun dey haf im Chi- cago.” Just so with Washington's Little Moon. The present band stand has a depressing air of newness and the trees possess that faimt-heartedness which inevitably appertains to re- cently transplanted trees. But you ought to see the one in Manila! Still, they haven't got the Marine band in Manila. Nor have they there a president of the United States, a Mrs. President, or cabinet members or cabinet members’ wives. Nor have they so many autos, landaus, landau- lets; nor so many peach-basket hats, She only exclusive wholesale and | retail Crockery House in Denver” ae Yrices always right.

"I see," he said, "your name is Holmes." "Yes." "Beverly G.?" "Yes, I'm the man that lives here." "Any relation of Sherlock Holmes?" gravely asked the carrier. "No, sir," answered the farmer, "but I'm detective enough to know that you're not a very good judge of human nature. You took me for an ignoramus because I've got my old working duds on.

Eczema Made Hands and Feet Swell, Peel and Get Raw—Arms Affected, Too—Gave Up All Hope of Cure. Quickly Cured by Cuticura. "I suffered from eczema. on my hands, arms and feet for about twelve years, my hands and feet would swell, sweat and itch, then would become callous and get very dry, then peel off and get raw. I tried most every kind of salve and ointment without success. I tried several doctors, but at last gave up thinking there was a cure for eczema. A friend of mine insisted on my trying the Cuticura Remedies, but I did not give them a trial until I got so bad that I had to do something. I secured a set and by the time they were used I could see a vast improvement and my hands and feet were healed up in no time. I have had no trouble since. Charles T.

Physician's Mean Trick. A doctor was one day stopped in the streets by one of his woman patients whose malady was purely imaginary. The doctor, who was known for his intolerance of and nonsympathy with such invalids, after listening somewhat impatiently to the woman's detailed account of all her feelings and symptoms, told her to shut her eyes and put out her tongue. She promptly did so. On opening her eyes in a few seconds the doctor was nowhere to be seen, and the woman awoke to the fact that he had left her standing by herself in a busy thoroughfare with her eyes shut and her tongue hanging out. The Clothesline Test "Let me see her clothes on the line." said an old-fashioned woman recently, "and I can tell you if she is a good housekeeper." The test lies in the way the garments are hung. If the skirts are scattered around promiscuously the woman lets garbage stand on her kitchen table over night. The skirts, like we men, should always hang together, shoulder to shoulder, and everything of its kind should hang in a row.—Atchison Globe.

THE Colorado Statesman 1824 Curtis Street Room 25 --- Simple Blouses These pretty simple blouses are styles that may be carried out in any blouse material, of which there is such a charming selection this season. The one at the left side has a tiny square yoke of lace with collar of the same. Tucks are made over the shoulder to waist, back and front, also in center of front; insertion and buttons form the trimming. The illustration at the top has a band of embroidery down center front, with three tucks each side; the long sleeves are close-fitting and are tucked. Below that the blouse illustrated has a yoke with plastron to waist, that might either be in lace or embroidery. Tucks are made on the shoulders and across bust, a strap outlining the yoke; the sleeves are finished at the wrists by a strap. The blouse on the right is quite a simple style, with six small tucks on the shoulders; it fastens in the front, under a box-plait. The collar and cuffs are trimmed with insertion and lace edging. Materials required: for each blouse, about $3\frac{1}{2}$ yards 28 inches wide; for No. 303a, 3 yards insertion and $\frac{3}{4}$-yard piece lace; for No. 304a, 1 yard embroidery 5 inches in width; for No. 305a, $\frac{3}{4}$-yard piece lace. ADAPTED FOR FORMAL CALLS NOVELTY IN LACE INSERTION Visiting Dress in Orchid Mauve Cashmere Trimmed with Buttons and Worn with Sash. Orchid mauve cashmere is used here. The slightly high-waisted skirt is trimmed at the foot by one tuck, and a hem; it has a little train at the back. One tuck is taken over each shoulder, sewn to waist back and front. The yoke, which is either of ```markdown ``` piece embroidery or lace, has a shaped piece of embroidered material arranged at each side; if preferred, this piece might be covered in figured or chene silk. A wrapped seam is made down the putside of each sleeve, trimmed with buttons put on in sets of threes, a directoire sash of mauve satin is worn. Bechle hat of straw and chifon, trimmed with a jet button and an al-rette. Materials required: 7 yards 46 inches wide, ½-inch lace, 1 yard satin 12 inches wide, 1½ dozen buttons. To Make the Curiosity Jug. Get a two quart jug or larger, if wished, and gather enough nicknacks and trinkets to cover it. Take some putty, roll out to the thickness of half an inch and place around the jug. Then put on the trinkets, pressing them firmly into the putty. The more you have, the better the jug will look. When all is well hardened give a coat of gilt paint and you will have something odd as well as ornamental. Simple Arrangement by Which Plain Dress Can Be Made Into Ornamental Affair. Lace insertion with both edges dis playing little scallops appears on some of the Swiss evening dresses, and, what is more, in very showy outlines. On one dress of Swiss this lace featured the bretelles over the shoulder. The two long pieces meet at the waist line, where a belt holds them down and they extend in two straight pieces, side by side, to the hem. A lace band encircles the dress at the hem and knee lines. Wide laces with plain edges are made to produce jacket lines on the one-piece dress. This arrangement is worth mentioning, since it really makes a plain dress a very ornamental affair. The straight lines from shoulder to hip line outline coat edges. At the extreme edge they form points, extend straight across the hips and make a single point at the back. The front empiecements pass over the shoulder, form a V-shaped yoke, then one single portion of the lace extends to the edge of the coat, down the back seams. A trucked band of the dress material crosses the coat at the point of the yoke in the back, passed under the arms and is placed under the lace and over the bust. A narrow strip of insertion holds the insertion together at the lower ends of the front. This dress is made with a Dutch lace collar. Tan Shoes Popular Tan shoes are more worn this summer than ever before, perhaps because they are commonly considered as cooler than black. For country wear they are more suitable and show the dust of walking much less than the black shoes. Black buckskin and suede and gray suede are also much worn. There is an especial dressing for suede shoes, and after it has been applied and before the shoe dries a coarse hand brush is used to brush the nap of the shoe the wrong way and restore the original slightly roughened surface. These shoes are more porous and therefore cooler than the glazed or finished leathers and do not wrinkle in the way the others do when they are slightly large, as they should be for comfortable summer wear. A Fascinating Hand Bag A hand bag that is delightfully sum mery can be made from heavy white filet net with an oil-over embroidered scroll running over it done in narrow white soutache braid. The net is doubled at the bottom and sloped at each end toward the top, which is at least two inches narrower than the bottom. Wedge shape ends of filet are sewed in. The bag is made up over white linen, and the handle is of heavy white braid. Development of Chest: In the development of the chest there are many ways of obtaining the desired extra inches, but massage and deep breathing the all that is necessary, and if practiced regularly for six weeks the narrow chested woman would be surprised at the results.
