COLORADO'S GREETING. In all his pleasant and profitable swing around the country, it is not selfish to say, that nowhere did President Taft receive a more cordial and sincerely patriotic welcome, reception and entertainment than in Colorado. The entire population of the state joined hands that the expression of appreciation for the presence of so distinguished a guest should be without dimmed joys. In this very pleasurable event, there were no races no political lines, everybody was loyal to the Colorado brand of welcome. From the moment that the presidential train was met at Limon by His Excellency, Governor Shafroth and others of the Reception Committee until the train drew away from the surpassingly magnificent exhibition of engineering skill—the Gunnison Tunnel, the President was surrounded with evidences of the marvelous agricultural and mineral wealth of the great Rocky Mountain state. Denver was superlatively cordial towards President Taft. The city was one mass of waving, fluttering color. Over the heads of the fifty thousand people who were packed like sardines from Union Depot to Senator Hughes residence, miles of bunting and ten thousand flags told a story of patriotism unparalleled in our nation's history. All of the President's speeches since leaving Washington have been hailed as key-note articles. The address delivered to an overflow audience at the auditorium, in which he advocated an amendment to the federal constitution providing for an income tax, was enthusiastically received. He called upon the people to support and elect a legislature that would pass a favorable resolution. The President was entertained at the elegant home of Senator Hughes on Tuesday evening and at the beautiful Wolhurst, the country home of Hon. Thomas Walsh for breakfast on Wednesday. The service at both places was in the hands of Owen Caswell, Denver's premier Negro caterer, and it is needless to say that the President's genial smile was broadened after the occasion. Colorado Springs, Pueblo, and the Gunnison Tunnel were favored by Mr. Taft. The visit will long be remembered and Hon. William How- --- ard Taft will ever be a welcome guest to Colorado. THE COLORADO A. M. E. CONFERENCE. The annual conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church for the state of Colorado was held at Boulder last week. It was one of the best sessions ever held. Bishop Abram Grant presided. The reports from the various churches showed increased spiritual and material growth. The work of the conference was marked by intelligent and pious deliberation. It was pleasing to note the interest in the conference manifested by the white people of Boulder. The use of one of the best and largest churches of the city was offered and accepted. On Saturday, the street railway company gave the ministers a pleasant ride about the city. The hospitality and courteous treatment from the citizens of Boulder drew the everlasting thanks of a grateful body of men. ODD FELLOW'S GRAND LODGE. The annual session of the District Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows for the jurisdiction of Colorado was held in Butte, Montana. The grand session was called to order by District Grand Master Wadsworth of Pueblo, who introduced Mayor Nevins to deliver the address of welcome. The address was pleasing and full of words of praise for the marked progress of our people. He praised the work of the order and its beneficial effect on our people. The response was made by the wittiest man in Colorado, George W. Contee, who hastened to assure the mayor that the Colored Odd Fellows were prospering along with the rest of the union. The Grand Lodge proceeded to business. The session closed with a grand ball. The following are the elective officers: D. G. M., Dr. P. E. Spratlin, Denver, Colo.; D. D. G. M., J. D.

In the very sad death of Governor Johnson of Minnesota, the nation looses a great man. Three times elected Governor of his state, a state normally Republican by a large majority, he was easily the idol of all the people. His strong and manly character appealed to all people and his loss will be keenly felt. He would have been the choice of the Democratic party for the presidency in 1912. WIFE DEFENDS PEARY AND COLORED MAN Sydney, N. S., Sept. 14. "Any talk in Mr. Peary's crew because he took Matt Henson, his colored servant, with him on his final dash to the Pole can be put down as absolute fiction," today declared Mrs. Robert E. Peary in response to requests for her opinion as to the probability of friction resulting from her husband's choice of Henson for his companion on that part of the trip to which the greatest honors naturally attach. It was pointed out to her that there had been considerable criticism of Peary by those who believed that the honor should have gone to a white man. It has even been reported that commander Peary had promised Captain Robert Bartlett of the Roosevelt, that he would be the man chosen. "There is no color line in the Artic," declared Mrs. Peary. "Men there, facing death at every turn, have no thought of such matters. There 'A man's a man for a that,' and I am sure that the matter of Henson's color never occurred to any member of the crew. "In addition to that I know that my husband never promised any man that he would be taken on the final sledge trip. Conditions there would make this impossible. A man best fitted for the trip one day might be wholly unfit the next. Matt Henson has always been with Peary on his final dashes, and by knowledge of the Eskimo language and his great physical endurance was probably the best fitted man in the party next to Mr. Peary himself for the final dash. "But more important than all is the fact that Matt is an American, and I am sure that if for no other --- reason my husband would have chosen him ahead of any of the men who were not." THE NEGROES OF NEW ORLEANS The Negroes of New Orleans in spite of personal jealousy from within and bitter opposition from without have combined a sufficient amount of capital and labor to erect for themselves a Knight of Pythias hall, which cost them in round numbers a quarter of a million dollars and the daily papers of that city unhesitatingly declare that, it is quite the equal of that of the most imposing building in the city and by the far the most imposing building owned by black folk in any other city in the United States. The edifice is free from debt save to the stockholders and that it will be a paying institution to them from the very start of its existence is a foregone conclusion. The whole affair was financed by colored men and the white folks of that or any other section were not called upon to put a dollar in it. It seems almost preposterous that men with such ability should be opposed by the dominant class of that country in their efforts to be come better and more progressive citizens. Opposition to the contrary notwithstanding the Negro is slowly but surely laying the foundation to take his place with other races and classes of this country. Seattle Republican. COLLECTOR LEOB'S LATEST Virgil H. Parks, an ex-member of the Tenth Cavalry, was appointed on Saturday as a clerk in the Twelfth division of the New York Custom House by Collector Leob Mr. Park was certified by the Civil Service Commission to the Appraiser of the Port for appointment as storekeeper, but as Appraiser Wanamaker could find no vacancy in his department, he could not be appointed, although he stood at the head of the list. Collector Leob who had become greatly interested in the young man, was so disappointed at the failure to place him, that he arranged a vacancy in his own office and the appointment promptly followed. The case of Mr. Park was brought to the attention of Collector Leob by Collector of Internal Revenue Charles W. Anderson. Since Collector Loeb has been in office about six months, he has appointed three colored men to be day inspectors with salaries averaging $2,500 per annum. This is a significant gain to the race in the point of material advantage and official prestige in the Empire City.—New York Age. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Chicago, Ill., September 14.

Wednesday, Armour Munson another white man was shot in the face with a load of buckshot and killed while approaching the home of a relative of one of the fugitives. A large posse has been organized and strong effect will be put forth to capture the desperate fugitives. By order of the War Department, Chaplain William T. Anderson, 10th Cavalry, with rank of major, has gone to Hot Springs, Ark., to report in person to the commanding officer of the Army and Navy Hospital, for observation and treatment. Major John R. Lynch, who has been on leave of absence since June, has gone to Omaha and other Western points. The veteran paymaster is improving in health and it is believed the examination before the retiring board will find him 'fit as a fiddle' for several more years of active duty. His station now is San Francisco. Seemingly there is an unrest between the Northern and Southern Negroes which has existed for years. This should not be, and they oppose each other on every hand. It appears that the South wants the whole recognition, regardless of what may follow or the result that is brought to bear upon the race. The North is stauding as compact as the Rocks of Gibralter and says "look on me, ye sons of the Southland for great am 1, and it is through and by me, that the great political" sphere of the county is swayed.—Kentucky Reporter. Havana, Cuba.—The first drawing of the National Lottery was held in the Treasury Building. A dense crowd thronged the galleries and the courtyard of the building. Hundreds of Negro runners were employed to carry the prize numbers to the various newspapers and the lottery offices in all parts of the city as fast as they were drawn. There was great excitement, especially with the an- NO. 2 nouncement at noon of the number winning the capital prize of $60,000. All the tickets for the drawing were sold, the amount aggregating $300,000, of which the Government's profit is $100,000. At Lincoln University Pennsylvania, the colored contingent is greatly wrought up because the school board at that point has decided to seperate the white and Negro pupils in the public schools and for this purpose has erected a seperate building for the accommodation of the Negro pupils. Regardless of the fact that the new building is a much better structure with a well equipped teacher. Negro parents have not as yet permitted a single child to attend because of this discrimination. White journals of the South pretend to see in this objection to proscription on the part of the Negro parents a desire for social equality. Jackson, Miss., September 13. Governor Noel, of Mississippi, has at last had his fighting blood aroused against lynch law. He has ordered an investigation into the unjustifiable lynching last week at Duncan of a Negro who was assisting his innocent brother to escape. The brother was accused of having killed Policeman Marshall, of Clarksdale, and is now in jail here for safe keeping. It develops that the Negro did not kill the policeman, but that he was killed by another policeman who was firing from the opposite direction. Gov. Noel has notified the Sheriff of the county that he will have the War Department test the bullet and the pistol of the officer who is said to have killed the policeman to settle the controversy and clear the Negro if he is innocent. Cleveland, Ohio, September 13. At the Republican primaries last Tuesday, Thomas W. Fleming was nominated as one of the six candidates for Councilman-at-Large, being the only Negro nominated. Mr. Fleming's colored opponent was William Green, son of John. John P. Green. Mr. Fleming, however, won out by a big margin, easily defeating Mr. Green. Both men are lawyers. Fleming had the advantage because of his wider acquaintance, and the fact that he was a candidate two years ago. He has been very active in local politics. Colored men throughout the city will work hard to secure his election in November. Mr. Fleming also served on the Republican State Executive Committee last Fall.

ENGRAVERS-PRINTERS OUR CUTS TAILS DENVER, COLO PRES. TAFT OPPOSES PERPETUATING FORTUNES AND UPHOLDS INCOME TAX Denver.—Pres. William H. Taft came to Denver a missioner for the proposed income tax amendment to the federal constitution. At a meeting at the Auditorium Tuesday night the President appealed to the people in general and Colorado in particular for the first time during his tour of the states, to elect Legislatures that would adopt a resolution in support of the amendment. The response from a popular audience was hearty, but in nowise enthusiastic, and it did not come from every part of the building. This appeal followed his set speech which was an elaborate, judicial defense of the action of Congress in passing, and himself in signing, a measure which included a corporation tax of one per cent. on corporation profits above $5,000; and the adoption of a proposal for a constitutional amendment giving authority to the national government to levy an income tax without the requirement of having the same distributed among the states according to population. This proposed income tax, the President was careful to explain, is to serve, in his belief, only in times of national stress. With the constitution thus amended the corporation tax could be strengthened by future legislation. Of the corporation tax itself, now a part of the tariff law, President Taft spoke at length and defended it, not so much on the amount of receipts, which would be considerable, but because it would give the government a leverage on great corporations that are complained of by having their acts come within governmental, or at least presidential and departmental review. To learn whether the corporations were paying their proper share of taxation under the corporation tax provision of the law the government would have access to their books. Further, the knowledge gained would aid in tariff reform that might be found necessary as through the "inquisitorial" channel referred to the government would be able to tell more or less regarding cost and profit of corporations. An inheritance tax graduated so as to reach the multi-millionaire's estate, and bring about the more speedy distribution of great fortunes, coming from the states was a concession from the President, to the "state rights" men; but in parenthesis he stated that even a double inheritance tax—national and state—would not be a burden too great to bear. He was severe, almost Rooseveltian, in his firmness against the habit becoming more common of creating trusts, to continue for a long period, great estates or fortunes in the hands of the few. An inheritance tax, unlike an income tax, could not be dodged. An estate, after death, could not be hidden or covered. Evils of Income Tax. The President was judicial in his utterances. He pointed out the objections to an income tax, its putting a premium upon perjury, and quoted the results in England under the old system, and also pointed out that it would tax earnings along with the passive income; nevertheless, he supported the proposed amendment and pleaded for its support here on the ground that it would be called into operation only in emergency. In part President Taft said: "I have selected tonight for consideration and discussion the corporation tax which was embodied in the tariff bill recently passed, and the income tax amendment which at the same session of Congress, and really as a part of the tariff bill, though formally included in a joint resolution, proposing to the states to amend the constitution of the United States by giving to Congress power to levy an income tax generally without regard to the apportionment of the tax among the states according to population. "The necessity for this tariff arose not only because the rates in a number of the schedules had become excessive and -were quite beyond the measure of the tariff set by the Republican platform, to-wit, the difference between the cost of the production of the article at home and that abroad, together with a reasonable allowance for profit to the American manufacturer, but also because within the last year or two the tariff had ceased to produce enough revenue in connection with the internal revenue law, to pay the expenses of government. Graded Inheritance Tax. "It was first proposed, and I recommended it in my inaugural address, that the central government impose a tax upon inheritance—a graduated inheritance tax, that is, a tax the percentage of which increased as the inheritance was greater, in a certain proportion; but this was objected to by many of the states, some of whose Legislatures passed protests against it, on the ground that that was a field of taxation which the state had preempted, and in respect to which it would be rather unfair to impose a double burden. I have no disposition to quarrel with that conclusion, although I think a good deal might have Youngest of the Spectators. William Howard Taft Wilsbury, aged twenty-eight days, was among the spectators of the presidential parade yesterday. He lay snugly in his grandmother's arms near Seventeenth and Lawrence streets and didn't seem much interested in the proceedings. John Wilsbury, William Howard's father, is an admirer of the President and yesterday morning, but a few hours before the parade, the youngster was christened with the name of the nation's chief executive. been said in favor of the federal inheritance tax because the truth is that even though the state and federal government impose the inheritance tax at the rates proposed, both taxes would not have been particularly heavy. Still, with the inheritance tax foreclosed, the question then arose as to what tax should be imposed in order to make up the deficit. This question arose in the Senate. For the inheritance tax had passed the House and had been stricken out by the finance committee of the Senate. "A part of the Republicans and all of the Democrats of the Senate united in pressing for consideration a general income tax on individuals throughout the United States. It left an exemption of those whose incomes did not exceed $5,000, but upon the rest it imposed a general income tax of 2 percent. It also imposed a tax under the former income tax upon inheritances, and it was as inquisitorial as possible in subjecting the business of every individual in the community to investigation, and permitted the examination of his books and all private evidences of what his business consisted of and what his income was. This investigation was to be carried on by the collectors and deputy collectors of the internal revenue. The law was as near as it could be made to the income tax law which had once been considered by the supreme court some ten years ago and which was held to be unconstitutional by a vote of five to four. It was conceded that the tax would probably raise $150,000,000 to $200,000,000, which was far in excess of the needs of the government if the tariff bill was to retain its general form, as proposed, and so to produce revenues which should be reasonably expected. Our friends, the Democrats, favored the income tax with a view to substituting it for the tariff as an income-producing measure, thus minimizing the effect of the tariff in protecting the industries of the country. Would Have Interfered. "In other words, the passage of the income tax bill would have lent support probably to the proposition to have a tariff for revenue only, and would have interfered with the protective policy to which the Republican party is pledged. "One further objection to the income tax amendment was that it had been declared unconstitutional by the supreme court, and to invoke a second decision upon that issue was to question the uniformity of the decisions of the supreme court, and to drag the court into a political discussion which whatever its decision, could not make for its standing as an impartial tribunal before the people. It indicated a diversity of view between congress and the court—two coordinate branches—with reference to the constitutionality of the law which it seemed unwise to perpetuate in a formal statute. But the income tax amendment seemed quite likely to pass by vote of all the Democrats and a sufficient number of Republicans. Therefore those who were opposed to the income tax amendment looked about to see if a compromise could not be proposed less objectionable than the income tax amendment, which would satisfy enough Republicans who were inclined to favor the income tax to prevent the passage of that amendment. Such a compromise was found in a proposal to pass the present corporation tax, and also the joint resolution already referred to, proposing an amendment of the federal constitution to the state authorizing the general government to impose an income tax without apportioning it as a direct tax according to the population of the states. Constitution Does Not Forbid. "For sake of clearness, I may say that the constitution does not forbid the levying of an income tax by the central government. The section of the constitution involved in general terms forbids the levy of a direct tax by the central government unless such direct tax is apportioned among the states according to their population. The Supreme Court, in the last decision referred to, held that the income tax was a direct tax, and, if levied at all by the central government, must be apportioned according to the population of the states. This made the imposition of such a tax utterly impracticable, and so construed, in effect, forbade a general tax at all. But there are decisions of the Supreme Court authorizing an excise tax to be levied on business corporations and to be measured by the gross income or the net income of the business; and therefore it seemed to the general, as it has to a great many excellent lawyers, entirely within the decision of the Supreme Court as constitutional to provide that all corporations engaged in business for profit to pay to the central government an excise tax equal to 1 per cent of their earnings. At first it was thought that 2 per cent would produce about $25,000,000. Subsequent investigation seemed to show that this was a very decided underestimate, and that 1 per cent would produce that amount and that that amount would be sufficient to meet the probable difference Old Time Defendant Pulls Taft Toledo, Ohio.—James Lennon, a locomotive engineer, who, fifteen years ago was one of the targets of the famous injunction issued against railroad employees by Judge Taft, then on the United States Circuit Court bench, but who later became a supporter of Taft, was at the throttle of the locomotive that pulled the train bearing the President from Toledo to Elkhart. "Cohen's ill in bed, I hear." "Yes, he smoked a cigar from the wrong pocket."—Puck between the net receipts from the internal revenue and tariff bill and the expenditures of the government. The provisions for the corporation tax in the bill exempt all corporations whose net income does not exceed $5,000. It is therefore, in effect, an income tax; that is, it taxes earnings actually made. It is a tax upon success and not failure. Corporate Advantages. "Complaint is made that it is a discriminating tax in that it taxes business conducted under a corporate form, whereas when the business is conducted by a partnership the business escapes taxation altogether. The justification for the distinction arises from the advantages which the business enjoys under a corporate form, first, in that the individuals who really own the business by being the shareowners of the corporation have only a limited liability and are not bound to meet the debts of the corporation beyond their stock investment, or in some states more than 100 per cent beyond their stock investment; and, on the other hand, the advantage of a permanent establishment in the business because no matter whether the present owners or managers die or not, the business continues in its corporate form without a settlement thereof in the administration of the estate of the deceased owners. "Now, if the proposed amendment to the constitution authorizing the imposition of an income tax without apportioning it among the states according to population passes, it will be possible to add to our corporation tax the feature of imposing a tax on the bonded interest in that corporation by a percentage tax upon interest to be paid, thus reducing the amount of interest which the corporation would pay to the bondholders to the extent of the tax collected. This would make the corporation tax a more beneficial measure, and one reaching interests that ought to be reached because under modern systems of financing corporations, the bondholders and stockholders are all of them in a sense joint investors, and a corporation income tax ought to include them all. Under the conditions that existed with reference to the constitution it seems to me clear that the corporation tax is an equitable burden, one reaching active business, not too heavy to retard it, but enough to collect a substantial revenue from those who are successful in business. "It is a tax easily collected—one that no corporation can escape—one in which perjury cannot play any important part at all in an effort to escape it. Evidence Not be Made Public. "This is to be done only after the commissioner of internal revenue shall have ascertained from evidence that their returns required by law are not correct. Then the evidence which he secures by his investigations of books and papers and examination of witnesses is not to be made public, but is to be held in the secret archives of the government until the President shall deem it of public interest and according to justice to make the facts known. "I am most strongly in favor of adoption by the states of the amendment authorizing Congress to impose an income tax without apportioning it among the states according to population; and I am strongly in favor of this because in times of great stress, if war or some other calamity were to visit this country, and we should need to strain our resources, the income tax would be one of the essential instruments by which we could collect a large amount of money to enable us to meet the exigencies. It has been so in the past, for during the Civil War it was understood that the levy of an income tax without apportionment was constitutional, and such a tax was levied and was collected. And I consider it in the constitution, as at present construed, an elemental weakness on the part of the central government not to be able in times of emergency to levy such a tax. "It seems that the present Congress has taken the wisest course in adopting as much of the feature of an income tax as conforms to the constitution, and by recommending an amendment to the constitution which shall enable us to round out and perfect this corporation tax so as to make it more equitable, and so to make it an instrument of supervision of corporate wealth by federal authority. I doubt not that the information thus obtained may be made a basis for further legislation of a regulaive character, applicable only to those corporations whose business is so largely of an interstate character as to justify greater restrictions and more direct supervision." After he had done with his manuscript, President Taft said: "The question now is whether you in Colorado will adopt the constitutional amendment. It is not a party question. There has been doubt expressed regarding the genuineness of those who voted for it; still I believe the people favor it and I hope that the people will see that their legislatures are properly representative of their will in this matter. Such a power ought to be in the national government. It has been said that it will be hard on a few states, although I doubt it; but even in an emergency the government has a right to take the money where it can get it. "I cannot go without recording my appreciation of the cordial welcome given me, and I recognize that it is given to me as the titular head of the nation, but even then it is gratifying to be the instrument of the testimony given by you typifying the patriotism which the American people feel to their government. Good night." Has He Got It? Chicago.—Is the figure "6" lighter than the figure "9"? Or, to put it another way, is the figure "9" heavier than the figure "6"? Still again, will figures, so placed on the spokes of a wheel that such figures will be "9s" going down and "6s" going up, keep the aforesaid wheel revolving continually without any motive power? A woman doesn't seem to worry as much because her husband gambles as she does because he isn't a winner.

AUDIENCE TAKES PART GREAT AUDITORIUM IS PACKED TO ITS FULLEST CAPACITY, AND ALL HAPPY. "Reclamation must go on," declared President Taft in his introductory remarks at the auditorium in Denver September 21st, and this sentiment was joyously cheered by one of the most magnificent audiences that has welcomed the chief executive on his tour of the country. Never was the chief magistrate in happier mood than at the auditorium meeting and when he spoke on the subject of reclamation he seemed like cheery Kris Kringle arrived ahead of time to tell of the good things in store for Coloradans. President Taft's remarks on reclamation evidently were quite apart from what he had made up his mind to say in his auditorium speech, but the secret was too good to keep, and when he told the news his face was wreathed in the familiar smiles that are famous from Manila to London, and from the North pole to Cape Horn. The introductory sentences were evoked by references to reclamation by Alfred E. Bent, who introduced the President. Bent's experience on the rostrum was to him a most trying ordeal, for the audience was impatient to hear from the chief executive. The former state treasurer was first interrupted by the insistent squall of an infant. A little later, while he was dwelling with emphasis and eloquence on the topic of irrigation, the crowd began to applaud and cheer. It soon became apparent, however, that the cheers and plaudits had not been elicited by the topic or the eloquence, but were meant as a suggestion that it was about time for the President to take the rostrum. If Bent was yearnign for solace he received it in some small measure when the President took the rostrum and experienced a fleeting instant of surprise and embarrassment. President Taft opened his speech by some happy allusions to the infant whose wall had punctured Bent's first words. "I have heard the spontaneous outburst of Colorado spirit from one of your youngest citizens," he said, and the audience burst into a roar of laughter. The President smiled—or should it be "grinned"?—and continued: "You seem disposed to take more part in the proceedings than the audiences usually do where I come from." "I heard the early protest of a young citizen of Denver," said President Taft, "and a demonstration from the adults that makes me hesitate to perpetrate the speech I had prepared. But you know you are dealing with the President, who is on a tour of some fifty one-night stands, and you know he is expected to discuss everything under the heavens that has any reference to his administration. Mr. Bent has alluded to the subject of irrigation. I have pledged my administration to carry on that work. Possibly we have made mistakes in the reclamation work, but they are not serious and can easily be overcome. The whole country, I think, is back of us on this proposition, because of the absolute necessity of finding new lands to cultivate, and, therefore, I say to you that reclamation must go on." After a succession of thunderous cheers from the audience the President began the reading of his prepared address, which was an explanation of his corporation tax and a condemnation of the graduated income tax, which was declared unconstitutional by the United States Supreme Court. The President, however, maintained that his excise on corporation earnings was in reality an income tax devoid of what he conceived to be the objectionable features of the direct tax. In conclusion, the President advocated a constitutional amendment that would permit the levying of an income tax by the federal government. Youngest Judge Gets Married. Castle Rock.—Miss Annie Nickerson, daughter of Mrs. Sarah Nickerson, became the bride of County Judge Clifton R. Bassell, the youngest jurist in the state. The bride was given away by her brother, Andrew Nickerson, formerly county commissioner of Douglas county. The groom is a former resident of Denver, a graduate of Denver University law school, and a member of the Alpha Epsilon fraternity. Albert Moeller, who committed suicide in Denver recently, bequeathed $2,000 to the cause of Socialism. The great Gunnison tunnel is formally opened this week. President Taft is responsible for pressing the button. The State Association of Congregational Churches at Pueblo adopted a resolution endorsing Mayor A. L. Fugard for his stand in regard to the liquor question at the State Fair. The association adopted the resolutions by a rising vote. Dog poisoners are active in Denver. Denver is having its annual water fight. Colorado Springs spread a flower path to President Taft. Colorado weather just couldn't behave itself long enough to show the President the best side. Joseph Richard, a miner from Rugby, says he was hypnotized in Denver and relieved of $80. Despondent because he could not secure a renewal of his farm lease, Gus Pape committed suicide at Broomfield by shooting himself in the head with a rifle. The body of J. J. Hagerman, who died at Milan, Italy, will be sent to the United States on September 25th, the date he and Mrs. Hagerman expected to sail for home. Land in Jefferson county, near Denver, is increasing in value, as is shown by the recent purchase of a quarter section three miles north of the city, by Nathanitil Ketchel of Denver. Ketchel purchased the land from Wm. W. Wahl, paying $25,000 for it. This same tract was on the market two years ago for $18,000, but no one seemed to want it at that price. A preacher who quit the pulpit to become a newspaper man, and who in turn quit that business to go back to the church, has been appointed pastor of the Methodist church of Goldfield, Colo. He is Rev. M. M. Eaton, formerly considered the most brilliant preacher and platform orator of Western New York. He left the pulpit because of failing health and returned when he became cured. A railroad survey party reported to be closely allied with the Colorado & Southern, is making a survey from the little town of Mesa to Palisade and Grand Junction. The party have been in the field nearly a week, are at present working up Rapid creek. It is reported that the surveyors have found a new route that presents a better line than the one usually followed. Congressman Martin at Pueblo received notice of the granting of a pension to Jose Ignacio Trujillo of Segundo, who served in the Third Colorado cavalry and was wounded in the famous battle of Sand Creek, November 29, 1864. For years the veteran has been unable to get a pension because the enlisting officer spelled his name as it is pronounced, "Troheo." He will now receive $3,800 back pay and $17 per month for life. State Coal Mine Inspector J. D. Jones has filed his semi-annual report with Governor Shafroth, showing an increase in production for the first six months of the year of 406,936 tons. The total production in the state amounted to 4,823,412 tons. The largest increases shown in the report are in Huerfano and Las Animas, 147,393 tons and 22,960 tons respectively. Jones reports that all of the mines of the state are making preparations for a big season. A movement is on foot to reopen the Belle Vista hotel in Golden, which would give Golden as large and modern a hostelry as any of the smaller cities in the West. The Belle Vista was built twenty-five years ago when the hotel and the lavish style in which it was conducted were fully a quarter of a century ahead of the town and its surroundings. After a brief career it was closed and has since been used as a student rooming house. Officers of the Golden National Guard company have taken preliminary steps toward its reorganization into a corps of engineers. On account of having so many students, who are taking technical courses, in the ranks, it is believed the change would be advantageous to the state as well as the company. General John Chase favors the plan and Captain Bleil and other local officers are confident they will be permitted to make the change. The $125,000 Temple of Comemrce to be built by the Denver Chamber of Commerce, adjoining the Ideal building, on Champa street between Seventeenth and Eighteenth streets, will be started October 1st. Entirely new plans furnished by Marean & Norton have been accepted and the work is to be pushed forward as rapidly as possible. The building is a five-story affair, with a roof garden and will be one of the finest structures of its kind west of the Mississippi river. A big strike of copper-lead ore is reported just over the range in Grand county, from Boulder, on the property of the Consolidated Copper Mining, Milling & Smelting Company, whose offices are in Denver. A four-foot body of ore has been opened on the western slope of the Arapahoe pass, several hundred feet from the crest, the vein evidently being a continuation of the old Olympic, a vein running parallel with the Fourth of July dyke, which is located on this side of the range. This is President Taft week in Colorado. As the result of large orders of coke for the Pueblo steel works, orders have been issued for the Segundo coke ovens to be fired up and worked full time. There are 800 coke ovens in Segundo. Grand Junction fruit growers shipped 200 cars of peaches last week. The milkmen, who refused at first to comply with an ordinance in Denver compelling them to deliver milk in sealed jars or cans, have finally agreed to do so.

No sooner does one of them find the North pole than another one is found trying to rob him of it. With the colored man it is different. Nobody disputes the fact that Matt. Henson is the first colored man to enjoy the distinction of having reached the North pole; and he's welcome to it. No eighty-three degrees below zero in ours, thank you! ANOTHER DISCOVERY. The easy manner in which Jack Johnson disposed of Al. Kauffman, the California heavy-weight pugilist, indicates that Stanley Ketchell will Ketch-hell when he gets into the ring with the black champion, while Jim Jeffries, the big boiler-maker, is liable to find himself boiled in his own boiler. Johnson is not what is called a popular champion, but when he gets into the roped arena, he makes a noise like the head driver of a big department store, and he delivers the goods. DANGER OF THE SPECTACULAR The Negro's love for display, for gaudy show, for the spectacular side of life, is well known and apparently hard to overcome. It creeps out among the best of us in the shape of extravagant social practices, and it lures and dazzles the least of us with an irrepressible desire to gain somebody's or anybody's wonder, laughter or applause. There is a new song in minstrelsy entitled, "I'd Rather Be a Minstrel Man Than a Multi-Millionaire," and it is based upon this all too universal weakness of the Negro race. The moderate or modest individual belongs to a small and unpopular class. And yet it is the modest and moderate individual who usually accomplishes the most in life, and reaches the highest permanent positions of influence and worth. Long, steady work and quiet living are the foundation of almost every great fortune and every great achievement. The dazzling thing that is done in a day or a week or a year is usually lost as quickly as it is won. The rowdy street minstrel or volunteer street car comedian, who is happy over his success in making unknown observers laugh, is really responsible for much of the contempt that other races feel for the Negro. The more modesty, the more dignity we display, the more we are respected. In the long run it is not the noise or the display or the spectacular that counts; it is what you really are as a permanent factor. THE INSEPARABLES There is something peculiar about that destiny which has linked the black man with the white man in every important epoch-making event that has transpired during four hundred years of American history, beginning with the discovery of the continent and continuing without interruption down to the present day. In some capacity or manner, made important by an apparent necessity or unavoidable contingency, the Negro has been inseparably linked with the white American in all of his great historical achievements. Authentic accounts give him a place, humble, but nevertheless useful, with Columbus, the Italian explorer, who, under the patronage of the King and Queen of Spain, brought this continent out of the unknown and gave it to an astonished and incredulous world. The greater expeditions that followed the discovery of the continent, in their carefully preserved annals, furnish indisputable data showing the presence of Negroes in the numberless exploits attending the gradual subjugation and development of the continent, and the final introduction of African slave labor in 1620, made their presence here permanent and irrevocable, without definite purpose or intent on he part of the white man. From that time on, through bondage and freedom, the Negro has been ever at the white man's side. The War of the Revolution made him its first martyr; the Mexican War, the Civil War, the Spanish War, the demonstration of he Allied Nations against China, the expeditions, cruises and other exploits of the navy, have all found the Negro a valuable and necessary contingent. And in the development of the agricultural, industrial, commercial and mineral resources of the country he has been likewise an indispensable quantity. In the special and advanced realms of science, exploration and discovery he has always played an unexpected part; and now, when the white American, in his ceaseless and restless determination to uncover the mysteries of the ages, seeks and attains the ice-locked top of the world, where, it would be expected, the son of the Tropics would be the last to venture, and in the quest of which the world, for centuries, has expended its mightiest energies in vain, the only civilized man to stand with him on the bleak and frozen goal, to assist his formal labors, insure his bodily safety and verify his success, is a Negro. Every foot of the vast and almost boundless territory of the United States has had its black as well as its white retainer, and when the destiny which has so strangely linked them and their fortunes shall give them the equal enjoyment of the fruits of their labors, the Negro will have well earned his portion. By ADA MAY KRECKER FTER ALL even money has its sweet uses. Religions often enjoin their devotees to live for higher ends than lucre. And the great heroes usually have proved indifferent to its chances. A Tolstoi and Whitman and Edward Carpenter and many others of now and of yore have voluntarily renounced it and chosen poverty for their bride. Many more, both famed and obscure, have found it no sufficient end, but selected their callings solely with a view to intrinsic congeniality and let money come or not as it would. The sociologists, moreover, have discovered that wealth tends to harden men's hearts, whereas poverty educates the gentler emotions and softens and refines, deepens and expands the sympathies. The prayerful go farther and discover in riches the root of all evil and in indifference a means of grace, an influence purifying to the heart and making for heavenly mindedness. All which being demonstrated Mammon is seen in a bad light. But its case is not hopeless. In days more aristocratic than ours there were fewer folks than now with money. But they were the favored few. They were the people who had handsome homes, delightful gardens, delectable foods. They were the people who had graceful figures, beautiful faces, health, long life. They had refinement, gentleness, urbanity, charm. They had learning, culture, talent, genius. They read the books and wrote them. They composed the music, painted the pictures, evolved philosophy and science and metaphysics. They had all of this and did all of this because they were possessed of money. Had they, like the poor, been starved for generations, they would have been equally plain and pinched. Had they worked like the poor for generations they would have been similarly awkward and uncouth. Had they lived in the houses of the poor for generations they would have been sickly and ill formed, and from time to time they would have died off in plagues and pestilences. Had they been without tuition fees and elegant leisure they would have been without erudition. So we cannot blame those who behave as if money were the root of all good. They are more than half right. They know that money yields goodly fruitage. And in producing wealth they are contributing not to the ease of themselves alone but to the world's at large. And they hold a place of genuine dignity and honor. And they are courted with most distinct propriety by penniless nobles. For they can furnish the raw material out of which the old nobility was made. P In face of many flagrant exceptions it is only simple truth that gentleness, beauty and achievement have ever been the natural affinities and partners of the good god Mammon. Last fall I drew attention to Noah Webster's view of some natural relation obtaining between great comets and pestilences and also of a probable reappearance of cholera this spring in Russia. A report has just come from St. Petersburg of hundreds of cases of cholera and that doctors fear an unprecedented epidemic, perhaps spreading over all Europe. I also mentioned some time ago a conviction that the next great war would be in the near east (probably Turkish) and closely connected with the appearance of Halley's comet about May, 1910. I may be wrong in this Last fall I drew attention to Noah Webster's view of some natural relation obtaining between great comets and pestilences and also of a probable reappearance of cholera this spring in Russia. A report has just come from St. Petersburg of hundreds of cases of cholera and that doctors fear an unprecedented epidemic, perhaps spreading over all Europe. I also mentioned some time ago a conviction that the next great war would be in the near east (probably Turkish) and closely connected with the appearance of Halley's comet about May, 1910. I may be wrong in this and the great war may really be, as many believe, between England and Germany. A great appearance of this comet occurred in A. D. 1066, when England was invaded by the Normans, and another great one in A. D. 1456, when all Europe was threatened by the great Turkish invasion I would not be too dogmatic; perhaps the comet will prove to be no sign or cause of pestilence this time at all, nevertheless it will be interesting to watch the outcome. I fear greatly that if Germany enters into any extensive war she will sooner or later lose Rhenish Prussia, west of the Rhine, Baden, Wurttemberg, Bavaria, etc., France and Austria annexing these. In the near east it seems a separation of European Turkey from Asiatic Turkey will soon take place, thus forming two kingdoms or powers out of one. Great and mighty events are ahead of us in the physical (or natural) world, the political world, etc., all coming to a climax in all probability no later than A. D. 1935, and perhaps much sooner. Does The World Owe You a Living? By P. EVAN JONES The whole system of life is wrong! Did you ever see an optimist that wasn't earning a good salary? Walt Mason and Kaufman and all those other so-called "boosters" have probably just had a good meal when they sit down and reel off yard after yard of cheerfulness. It may be perfectly proper to talk about the world owing you a living, but you have to be a supernatural collector to get it. Why, one can't go to church to hear the gospel expounded and to have his soul saved without their trying to separate him from his money in return. The man who has the most works the least. The man who supports him works eight or ten hours for a bare living. As I wander about I wonder if humanity would be better off without me—would there be one less parasite? Would—but what's this? There goes a smiling cripple helping a blind man across the street. Holy smoke! I'd better cut out this line of talk. If a cripple can smile, surely a man with a full complement of limbs ought to be able to. And here in the newspaper is the story of a banker going to Sing Sing for embezzlement. Well, I'm honest if I have only two bits. I wander into the Y. M. C. A., attracted by music. Who is playing but a man I've just passed on the street, anxiously scanning the "help wanted" column. Well, this old world isn't so bad after all. Buck up, old man. Your liver is torpid. You need a run around the block and, by the way, thank God you can run.

The class meetings continue to grow in interest and are well attended. NOTES OF THE PEOPLE'S PRESS BYTERIAN CHURCH. The pastor, Rev. J. A. Thos-Hazell, S. T. B., and Elder Wm. G. Campbell, represented the church at Denver Presbytery, held at Littleton during the week. The pastor was pianist for the devotional exercises. The white brethren enjoyed the music and sang with much enthusiasm. The People's representatives were the only colored Presbyters; this being the only colored Presbyterian church in Denver Presbytery and the Synod of Colorado. The Presbytery listened with unbroken attention as the pastor forcibly and eloquently presented the cause of his church and people. Revs. J. Knox Hall, Geo. R. Edmundson, D. D., and Elder Wm. G. Campbell spoke of the tangible work that is being done since the present incumbent took charge of the parish. The white brethren emphasized the necessity of the Presbytery taking a much deeper interest in the work. Undisputably so, the membership, finance and spiritual fervor have positively increased since July. Those who attend the services (colored and white) always go away intellectually informed, spiritually fed and verily satisfied as to the mode of conducting the services. Next Sabbath, September 26th, the sermon subjects will be: At 11 a. m., "A Timely Reminder"; 7:30 p. m., "The Philosophy of Duty." The evening service will be under the auspices of "The True Reformers," whose program was postponed a fortnight ago, owing to the inclementy of the weather. The choir will render special music. Everybody is invited to attend. W. T. FIELDS. Correspondent. COLORADO ANNUAL CONFERENCE ASSIGNMENTS Rev. J. C. Owens, Presiding Elder. Rev. A. M. Ward, Shorter Chapel, Denver, Colo. Rev. J. W.

PRESIDENT OPENS GUNNISON BORE Taft Lets Waters Flow Into Uncompahgre Valley. BIG PROJECT IS COMPLETED Mountain Ridge Pierced by the Government in Order to Irrigate Beautiful, But Semi-Arid Tract in Colorado. Montrose, Col., Sept. 23.—President Taft, standing at the west portal of the great Gunnison river tunnel a little before five o'clock this afternoon, pulled a lever, and with a mighty rush the waters of the river six miles away poured into the Uncompahgre valley in a life-giving flood. Thousands of men and women who a moment before had stood in silent awe burst forth in wild cheering, cannon which had been captured by Colorado troops in Manila roared a salute, and brass bands added their patriotic music to the clamor. Mighty Project Completed. Thus was fittingly signalized the completion of the Gunnison river tunnel, the first project undertaken by the United States government reclamation service. Work on the project was begun four and a half years ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` ago and had progressed steadily ever since. Together with its main and distributing canals, the tunnel will irrigate 150,000 acres of land in a valley naturally one of the most fertile in Colorado, but which has been semi-arid because of the annual summer droughts and the inadequacy of the Uncompahgre river.

All the morning special trains kept coming in, from various parts of the state, and at 10:30 there was a parade of the visitors. Early in the afternoon the explosion of a bomb told the people that the special train bearing President Taft and other government officials had entered the city limits. A second bomb announced his debarkation at the station, and a third was sent up as the distinguished guest, escorted by a great procession, started for Elks' park. President Taft Welcomed.

The exercises here concluded with remarks by Senator Charles J. Hughes and Gov. John Shafroth. At four o'clock trains started for the west portal of the tunnel, where President Taft opened the gates, and speeches were made by I. W. McConnell, consulting engineer of the reclamation service, and Senator Horace T. DeLong of Grand Junction.

First of the big government reclamation projects to be undertaken, the Gunnison river tunnel has been one of the most difficult to carry through. The ample waters of the Gunnison flow through narrow valleys unsuited to agriculture or through deep, rocky canyons, while only a few miles to the west the lovely Uncompahgre valley has been suffering for water. The Gunnison, descending in ever deepening gorges, finally plunges into the Black canyon, one of the most magnificent mountain gorges in the world. This unpromising spot was selected as the starting point of the tunnel. Brave engineers lowered themselves into the Black canyon at points where the granite walls rise almost perpendicularly hundreds of feet, and after their surveys were completed active work was started on the immense project. At great expense and under enormous difficulties, a wagon road was built to the east portal of the tunnel. It is 15 miles long, and, climbing the granite ridge between the canyon and the Uncompahgre valley, descends the rocky wall on shelf work. Bore Built for All Time. Simultaneously work was begun at each end of the tunnel and at a point several thousand feet from the west end, where a shaft was sunk. As fast as the tunnel was driven through the shale and solid rock, it was timbered, and then the heavy timbers were covered with impervious cement. This gives a tunnel of solid concrete built ```markdown ``` to withstand the wear of ages. All the flumes, culverts, division gates, drops and other work along the lines of the main canals are built of steel and concrete. There is no dam across the Black canyon at the point where the river is turned into the tunnel. Instead of this, the tunnel itself taps the river from beneath its granite bed. By this plan neither floods nor slack water can prevent the tunnel taking from the river all the water needed. Has Immnse Capacity. A few statistics of this tremendous project are worth setting forth. The tunnel is 30,600 feet long, and 11 by 13 feet inside measurement. The main canal is 30 feet wide at the bottom and 83 feet wide at the top, and the average depth of the water is ten feet. The capacity is 1,300 cubic feet of water a second. After the water leaves the west portal of the tunnel it is conducted through 12 miles of canal to the Uncompahgre. There is a drop of 214 feet in this distance, and this great fall will be utilized for cre T ating power. A series of concrete drops has been constructed and the immense body of water rushing over them is capable of generating at least 10,000 horse power, which will be utilized in lighting the entire Uncompahgre valley by electricity. The cost of the tunnel and distributing canals is over $5,000,000, and perpetual water rights will be sold to actual settlers at about $25 an acre. Just Comfortably Bad.

Out in California there is a tree trunk which has stood for the last 16 years entirely severed from its base, says the Wide World Magazine. The stump is 15 feet in diameter, and the trunk towers 75 feet in the air. This remarkable freak is located near the Sequoia forest reserve in Tulare county, California, and was sawn off by lumbermen for timber. Through some miscalculation, when the cut was finished the tree still held its position, and dynamite was resorted to to bring it to the ground, which accounts for the deep gash on one side. After the first charge of the explosive had been ignited the tree still remained standing, and it was discovered that the entire trunk had been shattered by the discharge and was therefore useless for lumber. Accordingly, the work was stopped and the giant has remained upright, withstanding some of the severest wind storms that the state has known, held in its natural position by its great weight.

A "new" story about Napoleon is necessarily doubtful; the probability is that it is simply so old that it has been forgotten. However, here is one that Arthur M. Chuquet prints in L'Opinion as never before published. It relatesto Napoleon and Blucher. The emperor received the general at the castle of Finkenstein, while he was preparing for the siege of Danzig. He drew him to a window in an upper story and paid him compliments on his military gifts, and Blucher, going away delighted, described the interview to his aide-de-camp. "What a chance you missed!" exclaimed the latter. "You might have changed the whole course of history." "How?" "Why, you might have thrown him out of the window." "Confound it!" replied Blucher. "So I might! If only I had thought of it."—New York Evening Post. From Overhead. A canary hung directly over the big square table in the Hungarian restaurant. "Once," said a woman who was dining there, "the bottom dropped out of the cage, the bird flew at the orchestra yonder, and we had bird seed in our soup. It was awful." "That reminds me," said the crosseyed man, "of one time when we were having a little game of poker on the B. & O. You know how those trains roll. Well, just about the middle of the game down came all the grips and dress suit cases straight into the kitty and broke up the game. Money flew everywhere. We got so mixed we couldn't tell which had won or where the money was that whoever had won it won. Talk about bird seed!"

THE DOCTOR'S WIFE Agrees with Him About Food. A trained nurse says: "In the practice of my profession I have found so many points in favor of Grape-Nuts food that I unhesitatingly recommend it to all my patients. "It is delicate and pleasing to the palate (an essential in food for the sick), and can be adapted to all ages, being softened with milk or cream for babies or the aged when deficiency of teeth renders mastication impossible. For fever patients or those on liquid diet I find 'Grape-Nuts and albumen water very nourishing and refreshing.' "This recipe is my own idea and is made as follows: Soak a teaspoonful of Grape-Nuts in a glass of water for an hour, strain and serve with the beaten white of an egg and a spoonful of fruit juice for flavouring. This affords a great deal of nourishment that even the weakest stomach can assimilate without any distress. "My husband is a physician and he uses Grape-Nuts himself and orders it many times for his patients. "Personally I regard a dish of Grape-Nuts with fresh or stewed fruit as the ideal breakfast for anyone—well or sick." In any case of stomach trouble, nervous prostration or brain fag, a 10 day trial of Grape-Nuts will work wonders toward nourishing and rebuilding and in this way ending the trouble. "There's a Reason," and trial proves. Look in pkgs, for the famous little book, "The Road to Wellville." Ever read the above letter! A new one appears from time to time.

The money was turned over to Frederick Whipple, a son, who is preparing to erect a new house on the site. It is well known that the long arctic winter, with its depressing effects on body and mind, often upsets the best balanced nervous system, even of the natives. But this hysteria vanishes with the summer. Explorers have suffered in the same way, and two committed suicide. In summer Eskimos get so full blooded that nose bleeding is very common. Minister Wu says he expects to see war abolished. In his country the taxpayers evidently have no song with a line equivalent to "The army and navy forever." It is estimated that 113,00 adult males in New York City make a living by "their wits," without in any sense being an economic factor aiding in production or distribution. J. E. Sayre, merchant, Racket Richie county, was arested at Harrisville, W. Va., on the charge of having murdered his seventeen-year-old wife on the day he married her in that city. King Edward is a clergyman, although few people seem to be aware of the fact. He is prebendary of St. David's, in Wales, and gets a salary of $5 a year. He is entitled to preach one sermon a year in the cathedral. He is also a member of the English and Irish bars and a member of the Royal College of Physicians. King Leopold's latest whim, practically completed, is a private railway leading from the Brussels surburban station at Laeken to the palace, about a mile away. This railway, altogether hidden from sight, is luxuriously appointed; from it his majesty steps into an elevator which conveys him direct to his apartments. The railway, tunnel and fittings cost $1,200,000. Eskimos are all children, contented, peaceable, honest and hospitable, without rulers, and without ambition for fame or power. They live almost entirely on raw animal food, and this explains the absence of a number of diseases which are common to civilization. Salt water contains lodin, and all sea animals, as well as all who eat them uncooked, absorb more or less of this fickle chemical substance. The Spanish bark, San Antonio, with 15,000 bags of salt aboard, has sunk in Havana harbor. No one can truthfully say that this salt is lost; it has emerged its individuality with that of the capacious deep. All the owners of this salt need do to recover their property is to awalt the slow but sure evaporation which scientists tell us is drying up and disintegrating the earth quite after the manner of the shredded codfish of commerce. One of the reforms which have been placed to the credit of the Young Turkish party in the Ottoman empire is the abolition of the "red ticket regulation." Until this took place a red card was issued to a Jew on arrival in Palestine, the possession of which entitled the holder to a three month's residence. If the red ticket man wished to remain longer the credential had to be renewed, and this naturally led to abuses in the nature of graft. The abolition of this restrictive measure was urged upon the authorities by Israel Zangwill. Twenty-five thousand Chinese Cookies are wanted to finish the Canadian Grand Trunk railway at $3 a day and board. Chinese cooks get $75 a month in New York, as against $30 to $45 paid to Japanese cooks. Chinese laundrymen make $18 a week here. A Chinamen will do as much in one day in a house as the average servant girl does in six. The wages which the Chinamen's uniring industry, honesty, intelligence and loyalty command are the measure of the yellow peril we feel when he is here stealing our job. By offering this work and big wages to coolies the officials of the Canadian Grand Trunk are discouraging that American labor which is inclined to turn over on the park bench for another snooze until it is time for the bread line to form. NEWS FROM WASHINGTON. Treasurer Charles H. Treat has resigned, to take effect in October. No successor has been chosen so far as known. Secretary Ballinger emphatically denies that he intends to resign. Ballinger is continued to his room on account of throat trouble. The application of J. W. Caudill, Oscar Thompson, R. Wright, R. F. Love and A. J. Scaff to organize the First National Bank of Lovington, N. M., with $25,000 capital, has been approved by the comptroller of the currency. Acting Secretary of the Treasury James B. Reynolds has telegraphed to President Taft his acceptance of the appointment os a member of the tariff board. No date has been fixed for mr. Reynolds' retirement from the assistant secretaryship, nor is it known yet who will succeed him. The arrangements for the meeting of the tariff board are still incomplete, although the first session may be held for preliminary organization within a few days at the Treasury department. With a full-fledged forest experiment station high up on Pike's Peak, in addition to the one at Flagstaff, Ariz., the forest service will endeavor to minimize the injury resulting from mistaken practices in its domain. An outline of the proposed work at these stations was made public today. Already the feasibility of artificial regeneration of pine forests by planting and sowing is being tested. A detailed study of natural and artificial regeneration of such trees as Douglas fir, Englemann spruce and the juniper is planned, also. Tests will be conducted with a view of introducing trees superior to the native growth in various sections. According to Judge S. H. Cowan of Fort Worth, Texas, attorney for the National Live Stock Association and the Texas Cattle Raisers' Association, the country is confronted with unheard of prices for beef this winter. Judge Cowan says the cost of living will show continued increase next winter and points out that the cattle market is now short a million head of cattle. "The price of beef," said he, "will increase the coming winter to a point now unheard of, ior the demand is much greater than the supply." AFTER SUFFERING TEN YEARS Cured by Lydia E.

A chain is no stronger than its weakest link, the body no stronger than its weakest organ. If there is weakness of stomach, liver or lungs, there is a weak link in the chain of life which may snap at any time. Often this so-called "weakness" is caused by lack of nutrition, the result of weakness or disease of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. Diseases and weaknesses of the stomach and its allied organs are cured by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. When the weak or diseased stomach is cured, diseases of other organs which seem remote from the stomach but which have their origin in a diseased condition of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition, are cured also. The strong man has a strong stomach. Take the above recommended "Discovery" and you may have a strong stomach and a strong body.

But the fall of the year offers several advantages to the painter. One of the most important is that surfaces are almost sure to be dry, and there is no frost or inner moisture to work out after the paint is applied. Pure white lead—the Dutch Boy Painter kind—mixed with pure linseed oil (tinted as desired) gives a winter coat to a building that is an armor against the severest attacks of the winter rain, sleet, winds and snow. National Lead Company, 1902 Trinity Bldg., New York city, makers of pure white lead, Dutch Boy Painter trademark, are offering to those interested a complete painter's outfit, consisting of a blow pipe and lead tester, book of color schemes, etc. State whether you want exterior or interior decorating.

Child a Mass of Dreadful Sore, Itching, Irritating Humor for 2 Months —Little Sufferer in Terrible Plight. Disease Cured by Cuticura. "My six year old daughter had the dreadful disease called hives for two months. She became affected by playing with children who had it. By scratching she caused large sores which were irritating. Her body was a complete sore but it was worse on her arms and back. We employed a physician who left medicine but it did not help her and I tried several remedies but without avail. Seeing the Cuticura Remedies advertised, I thought I would try them. I gave her a hot bath daily with Cuticura Soap and anointed her body with Cuticura Ointment. The first treatment relieved the itching and in a short time the disease disappeared. Mrs. George L. Fridhoff, Warren, Mich., June 30 and July 13, 1908." Potter Drug & Chem. Corp., Sole Props., Boston. The Root of Altruism. The three eternal roots of altruistic energy are these: First, the principle of justice; that there is a moral law before which all men are equal, so that I ought to help my neighbor to his rights. Second, the principle of charity; that I owe infinite tenderness to any shape or kind of man, however unworthy or useless to the state. Third, the principle of free will; that I can really decide to help my neighbor, and am truly disgraced if I do not do so. To this may be added the idea of a definite judgment; that is, that the action will at some time terribly matter to the helper and the helped.—G. K. Chesterton. $100 Reward. $100.
