NEGRO JO NEGRO NEWSPAPERS SOME CLASS IN NEW HIS MISSION. THE NEGRO PAPER. The newspapers published by of our race are constantly increasing. But are the Negro papers progressive? Do they keep pace with the developing intelligence of the masses? Do they gather the news of our people and present it to the world in an intelligent and readable manner? These are rather pertinent questions and are largely personal to the craft. But sometimes it is right and proper that the editors and managers should indulge in some introspection. That the last forty years has seen many and great changes in our race journals all will admit. But the number of so-called newspapers that have developed above and beyond the standards set by Rusmusm and Douglass are mighty few. The first in importance in the noticeable improvement of our papers should be seen in the paper's ability to gather news. Some of our papers have rather queer notions of what is real news—what will interest and in a measure instruct the variety of Negro minds found in any community. Many still eling to the worn-out chestnuts of "Mrs. So and So came to town," or "Miss Jones served an elegant six-course dinner in compliment to Mr. Brown of Nowhere who is being royally entertained by all the people in town." Or the leading columns may be filled with a minute description of the elaborate wedding of some social exotie to which is hung a long list of useless and generally cheap presents. Or the editor may regard his paper as a personal organ wherein his personal dislike for any individual may be portrayed in more or less florid style. Thus it goes on until the Negro paper becomes disgusting to the more progressive element of our people and something for ridicule by the white man who chances to pick it up. This kind of stuff is not news and should be eliminated from our present day publications. Our people are growing in moral, intellectual and material greatness every day and they are demanding a higher standard of intelligence from our editors. It is not that the editors of our race papers are not men of schooling and contact with the world, but it seems that as a class we fail to comprehensively --- grasp the details of our profession. THE REAL JOURNAL The Negro editor who understands the mission of his journal seeks not only to make money, but to lay the influence of his paper alongside the church and the public school, thereby adding some weight to the lever that lifts the human family. He forgets the forms and fashions of yesterday and shapes his course according to the demands of the hour. The patriotic Negro journalist is on the right side of all public questions. There is in his paper a consensiousness of right and wrong. It is a journal with a soul. This journal knows the community. It has a full and complete understanding of the business and commercial tendencies of the times. The editor keeps his people in touch with these changes and prepares them to meet and overcome conditions. The Negro journalist is never a groveling sychophant. He does not bow before the powers of any political party when the rights and privileges of his people are assailed. He dares fly in the face of public sentiment when the social privileges of his people are curtailed or abridged. But his conduct is marked by dignity and courtesy. He dares to face his people and tell them they are wrong. He allows no material fact pertaining to the race's growth to pass unnoticed. His restless mind sees and multiplies chances for the Negro youth "to gather in the sheaves" Of material success. This is the progressive Negro editor. Have we many such? PAYING TAXES. The lists of delinquent taxes have been published and has a few surprising disclosures. Is your property advertised? Have you paid your taxes? Sometimes we either through ignorance or carelessness overlook this very important fact and property is sold before one is aware. Then another important fact remains for our people to know. Your taxes must be paid to enable you to vote on public franchises and bond issues. Several very important questions and valuable franchises are soon to come before the people. Have your taxes paid that you may be prepared. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1909. State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House onizing The ADC THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, NEGRO SAILORS DID NOT PARADE Stories of marked discrimination against the Negro sailors on account of their color have been circulated with amazing frequency since the arrival of the United Stater warships in the New York Harbor, and the fact that there were no Negro sailors in the big naval parade last Thursday appears to bear out the charges being made that the officers of Uncle Sam's ship are not treating the Negro sailors with the respect due them. In last Thursday's parade the Negroes were made conspicuous by their absence, and the question was asked many times during the parade by the white and colored spectators—"Where are the Negro sailors?" Many remarked that it was strange that while there are several hundred Negro sailors with the American fleet, not one was seen in the parade. It was noticed, however, that a number of Filipino sailors who have enlisted in the United States Navy were in line with the other sailors from their respective battleships. Investigation shows that the Negro sailors were assigned to duty on the battleships on the day of the parade. It is seldom if ever, the Negro sailors are permitted to participate. During the recent voyage of the American fleet around the world reports of discrimination are heard from many quarters. In England a reception was tendered the American sailors by the England tars. The Negro sailors were not allowed to take part, which was noticed and adversely commented on by the English. The action of the naval officers in refusing to permit Negroes to take part in last Thursday's parade has aroused a storm of criticism from the Negro residence of Greater New York, and expressions of condemnation are general. A movement is on foot to take the matter to the Secretary of War with a view to learning why Negro sailors are discriminated against. New York Age. NEGRO PROGRESS The annual address of the President, Archdeacon Russell, showed that the Negroes of the county own 51,000 acres of land, assessed for nearly $400,000; that 1,005 Negroes in the county hold their land in fee simple and 300 others were buying land in various stages of payment; and that over 50 per cent of the males over 21 years of age owned their own homes, a record that probably cannot be equal- led among any race any-where in the United States. Crime was shown to be on the decrease, there being 18 prosecutions for this year against 22 last year. The address also dealt with the progress made in home-making, morals, improvement of farms, and material resources. In starting bank accounts, considerable progress was evident. Living Church, Milwaukee. COLORED TROOPS AT For the first time in the history of Fort Lawtor, the Seattle army post, it is being garrisoned by what the U.S government designates Colored Soldiers. The Sheridan, which arrived in the Seattle port last Tuesday brought the Twenty fifth infantry, and the major part of the company immediately went to the fort, while the minor part went to Fort Wright, a Spokane suburb. These brave black boys in blue for the past 30 months, have been doing duty in the Philippine Islands, where they have made a most enviable military record. They also bring splendid recommendations from the forts from whence they come and it is predicted that Seattle has never seen a more soldierly set than they. Seattle Republican. The troops returned last Satur day from the 21 day hike, to the State fair at Douglas, Wyoming. They report a fine time though the latter part of the trip they had cold weather. The band under its new Chief Musician was highly received, and was the recipient of many favors and much praise. Prof. Hammond is an excellent musician and band director, and will undoubtedly make of the band a great success. One feature of the fair was the uniting of the five attending bands in the playing of The Star Spangled Banner, led by the band of the Ninth Cavalry and directed by its Chief Musician Hammond. A NEW ORGANIZATION. Chicago, Ill., Sept. 27.—Quite a number of colored men from the States of Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Texas, Wisconsin, Michigan, Kentucky, assembled in Chicago recently and organized what is known as the "Half Century Exposition of colored people of the United States." This exposition will be held in Chicago, commencing the first Monday in June, 1913 and will run for two months. This exposition will show the progress and advancement of the colored people in the United States from 1863 to 1913, which will be half a century. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES The stork visited the home of Architect and Mrs. W. Sidney Pittman last Monday morning and left a bouncing boy. The newcomer is to bear the name of "Booker T. Washington Pittman" in honor of his distinguished grandfather. The Booker Washington Colony is a new movement in Georgia. Ocila, Irwin county, is the home of the enterprise, where the promoters have begun the founding of a city. The movement has begun with a flourish, promising to end in permanence and success. The proprietors of a large hosiery mill of Athens, Tenn., think of employing colored girls in one of the departments. In event they are employed it may mean much more. Opportunity may come in numerous other concerns, thus giving the race a better chance for usefulness of its young women. The report of S. W. Babcote, statistical secretary of the National Baptist convention at its recent session in Columbus, Ohio, credited that denomination with having 18,534 churches, 20,000 Sunday Schools, 250 colleges and high schools, 165 religious and secular papers, 2,500,000 members and owning property to the value of $4,000,000. Richard E. S. Toomey, a poet of quality, said to rank with Paul Laurence Dunbar, is preparing a poem on Matthew Henson, the Artic explorer who went to the North Pole with Peary, to be read at the reception which Washington's citizens are planning to give that valiant finder of the "Big Nail" upon his arrival here. Atlanta, Ga., October 5.—For the first time in the history of this city the white citizens have opened their Lyceum Lecture Courses to the Negroes at the Auditorium Armony, Gilmer and Courtland streets. One-half of Gilmer street section has been set aside for Negroes. At this lecture and literary course there will be some of the best literary and musical attractions of the country reproduced. Mr. John O'Lacy, the noted Afro-American poultry raiser, won 28 prizes at the recent Michigan State fair out of 41 entries of fancy fowls. Besides these, Mr. NO.5 O'Lacy won first prize on Rockford melons, first prize on green mountain potatoes, second prize early Ohio potatoes, third prize on snow ball potatoes, first prize on Chilean watermelons, second prize on early Halbert watermelons and second on sunflower foliage. A colored league of Chicago is demanding the employment of colored people by business concerns of that city. If such leagues promised good it would pay to have them all over the country. And yet this very league may do the unexpected, compel consideration on part of the merchants. One would think, however, that unless the public is also worked on, the work of the leagae will not count for much. The store keepers are in the hands of their patrons, without whom there would be no store. West Chester, Pa., Oct., 7th. Colored men in upper Oxford township have decided to settle at the polls the issue raised by the directors of the public schools in providing a separate school for colored children at Lincoln University. They have issued an appeal, in which they declare they have been betrayed by Republican officials and that they have an organization to reach all the colored voters in the State and warn them of impending dangers. All told, there are at the present time 638,502 Negro voters who live in States where there is no question about their votes being counted as they are cast. Here, it can be seen, at a glance, that the Negro in America possesses immense political power. He must learn to use it in an effective manner, more so than he has in the past. This is a matter which ought to be taken up and discussed more. It has been done in the press and in our public and private organizations. The Jews, Armenians, Scandinavians, Germans and Irishmen all make themselves felt in the political world by the way that they vote. The Negro must lean to do the same thing. On Hand with the Goods.

FROM ALL SOURCES SAYINGS, DOINGS, ACHIEVE MENTS, SUFFERINGS, HOPES AND FEARS OF MANKIND. Governor Curry proclaimed Friday, October 15th, the day of President Taft's visit to New Mexico, a legal holiday. In a speech at Phoenix, Ariz., President Taft told the people that he would help to carry out the pledge of the Republican party to grant statehood to that territory. James J. Hill, at St. Paul, denied that the Great Northern railway was trying to enter Harriman territory in California by extending the Oregon trunk line to San Francisco. He said he would not build into California. A Southern Pacific train in California was stopped three times between Biggs and Chico by swarms of black crickets which covered the tracks. The oily insects were crushed under the wheels, rendering the rails so slippery that the train was brought to a standstill. A special cable to the Seattle Post Intelligencer from Skagway, Alaska, says four men and one woman were drowned when a four-horse stage in which they were attempting to cross the Klenhini river near Walls, forty miles north of Haines, upset and was swept down stream. On Mount Roubidoux, near Redlands, Cal., President Taft participated in the unveiling of a tablet set in solid rock to the memory of the founder of the California missions, Fra Junipera Serra. On the tablet were the three words. "Apostle—Legislator—Buader." At Alamosa on the 12th inst. Saul Halyve, the noted Indian runner, who won national reputation by defeating Hatch and Forshaw in the Denver Marathon last summer, won the ten mile race authorized by the Rocky Mountain association of the A. A. U. His time was :59:12. A fashionably dressed bandit who robber the savings bank of D. E. Erskine & Co., in Highland Park, Ill., an aristocratic village on the Lake Shore, twenty-five miles north of Chicago committed suicide by shooting when driven to bay by the Highland Park marshal and a posse of citizens. Forced to roll over and over for a distance of two miles with a leg and an arm broken, after he had been buried twice at the bottom of a shaft, both times digging himself out, was the experience of Bert Miller, a mining expert who went to inspect a shaft at Silver City, South Dakota. All gatemen at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exposition were discharged Saturday night, it being alleged that they had participated in or knew of stealings at the turnstiles. The alleged method of the gatemen, whose turnstiles were unlocked by slipping a coin into a slot, was to catch the gate before it had registered, pull it back, take in another person and pocket the coin. The government of Austria and Hungary, on account of the greatly increased immigration of its citizens to the Rocky Mountain region, has established a consulate in Denver with power over five states and two territories. George de Grivicic, consul general of the Rocky Mountain district, has opened offices in the Jackson block, Denver. He will have jurisdiction in Colorado, Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Utah, New Mexico and Arizona Navigation of the Tanana river in Alaska was closed on the 10th insti by the freezing of the stream. The unexpected freeze caught a number of steamers in the river and will hold them prisoner until spring, when two of them will be in a dangerous position at the breaking up of the ice. Two steamers crowded with stampeders for the new Iditarod district are frozen fast. A thousand tons of freight, within a short distance of Fairbanks will not be available until next May. GENERAL NEWS. In order to replenish the depleted supply of corn in the republic of Mexico the duty on that cereal from the United States has been temporarily rescinded. The Cossack villagers of Pavlovsk, Russia, have condemned and lynched seven men for murder. The victims of the men lynched were three women and a child who were lured to a lonely inn, tortured and killed. The Rhode Island Republicans have renominated Adam J. Pothier for governor. The main features of the platform were an indorsement of the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill and praise of Senator Aldrich. For making unkind and critical remarks about the hat which Miss Ruth Devonde was wearing, Miss Mae Carey was fined $25 by Alderman Brown at Wilkesbarre, Pa. Incidentally, the criticism, which was made in a public restaurant, "raised a row." Andrew Carnegie has subscribed $100,000 to McGill University at Montreal, as a part of the general fund of $2,000,000 which friends of the university are trying to raise. The New York Tribune says that Edwin F. Hawley, B. F. Yoakum, chairman of the executive committee of the Rock-Island-Frisco systems, and James Spere, the New York banker, have obtained control of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas railway. James M. Barrie, the English novelist and playwright, has been granted a divorce on the grounds of his wife's misconduct with Gilbert Cannan, a young author. The suit was not defended. Mrs. Barrie was formerly Mary Ansell, an actress. "I can only say that the actual, living, human witnesses of my journey to the pole will themselves be able to disprove the distorted declaration put into their mouths in the statement issued by Commander Peary," said Dr. Frederick A. Cook in an interview at Buffalo. It is said that the mother of young Lieut. James N. Sutton, Jr., of Oregon, who met his death at the Annapolis naval academy during a fight with brother officers, will soon lay charges against certain of the marine officers before the federal grand jury at Baltimore. Lady Constance Lytton and Mrs. H. M. Brailsford, who were sentenced to a month's imprisonment at New Castle England, for taking part in a suffragette demonstration against David Lloyd George, have been liberated on a government order, owing to their weak condition. The London Times states that the government has been considering whether in event of the house of Lords rejecting the budget, it should not ascertain the opinion of the country by referendum instead of a general election. Such a course, however, would necessitate the passing of a special bill through parliament. The permanent International Peace Bureau at its session in Brussels Saturday adopted a resolution suggesting that the various governments of the world join in the creation of an international fund for the relief of sufferers in the event of the occurrence of great disasters in any part of the world. A motion was also adopted favoring the interdiction of the throwing of explosives from airships in time of war. Abbott Lawrence Lowell took his place as president of Harvard University on the 6th inst. In outlining his policies, President Lowell declared himself in favor of men learning one thing well, and something of everything. He placed himself on the side of intercollegiate sports as the only striking occasion for the display of college solidarity. He also stated his belief in the segregation of the freshmen and of the drawing together of the ties among upper classmen NEWS FROM WASHINGTON. According to its revised schedule, the Senate irrigation committee will reassemble at Denver October 31st, and go direct to Montrose to inspect the Gunnison tunnel. All of November 1st will be spent at Montrose and vicinity. November 2nd will be spent at Grand Junction, and the following day at Thistle, Utah. Crop conditions in the United States are slightly more favorable than the average conditions for the last ten years existing during September, according to reports compiled by the Department of Agriculture. The yield per acre compared with the ten-year average in yields was: Winter wheat, 115.5; spring wheat, 117.8; oats, 103.1; barley, 92.6; rye, 101.3; hay, 98.6; hops, 92.8. The National Geographical Society, in response to a proposal from the Peary Arctic Club, adopted a resolution agreeing to join the American Geographical Society and the American Museum of National History, in requesting Dr. Ira Remsen, president of the National Academy of Sciences, to appoint a commission to examine a report on the Arctic records, observations and data of Colomander Robert E. Peary and Dr. Frederick A. Cook. Although Attorney General Wickersham has refused to state his views on the dismissal of the removal proceedings in the Panama libel cases at Indianapolis, it was suggested at the department of justice that the action on the removal proceedings affects only the question as to the defendants in that proceeding being brought to Washington, and that the government can go ahead with other phases of the Panama case. Sustaining a man's right to board with his own wife and discounting fashionable hotels as boarding places, the comptroller of the treasury has approved reimbursement of Dr. C. C. Nutting of the fisheries bureau for $2 a day for board and lodging with his wife last July. The commissioner of fisheries explained that Doctor Nutting was directed to do certain official work at San Diego, Cal. Under the limited appropriation Doctor Nutting found even the third rate hotel prices prohibitive and his wife offered to rent a $30 a month cottage and board him for $2 a day. Failing to secure a reasonable bid on the enlargement of thirteen miles of the Montrose & Delta canal, Uncompahgre Valley project, Colorado, the secretary of the interior has authorized the reclamation service to perform the work.

DENVER THE BEAUTIFUL THE movement designed to lead to the systematic beautifying of Denver, especially in the precincts which will form the future center of the city, is rapidly taking on satisfying shape. Public discussion in mass meetings, where the people can speak for themselves, shows that the taxpayers are willing to stand for it. Denver's naturally one of the most beautiful cities in the country, and an intelligent and unhampered effort on the part of its administrators and citizens to improve it to its greatest possibilities would soon make it the marvel of the nation. The obstructors who would not have it so, are not in accord with the spirit of things here in the Mountain Eden of America. GET THE HOOK-WORN! THE Rocky Mountain News devoted nearly one column of its editorial space recently to the discussion of a parasite, germ, microbe or other species of insidious interloper, which some astute scientist has finally discovered to be ravishing humanity in the Southern states and bringing frightful havoc into the unsuspecting ranks of the causasian element. The hook-worm is the pest at whose door is laid the charge of inciting to riot, and it is alleged or supposed to be a native product of African origin, which breeds among Negroes who live in unsanitary quarters, and is communicated to barefoot or otherwise careless or wantonly exposed whites, generally of the "cracker" type, with disastrous and often fatal results. It is said to be a parasite which breeds within the body and then works itself out, and attaches itself to the first exposed flesh that happens along. Its symptoms are indicated by the various forms of itch, which make the victim scratch and often drive him to physical wretchedness and death. But it does no particular harm to the Negro, the unconscious propagator of the species, but gets in its deadly work on the white man and his unwashed family. At least a million of them are suffering with the seurorge. The credulity with which white people accept the idea that the Negro is by nature a peculiar purveyor of strange scourges is a wonderful example of fear-warped imagination. If the Negro is the natural purveyor of infectious bug eggs, and the hook-worm, the worst of all, was officially discovered only in 1902, under what head was his devastating work classed by medical scientists during the three-hundred years of the Negro's unrestrained contact with whites prior to the beginning of the twentieth century? Under proper direction, with the hook-worm aiding him, he ought to have freed himself from bondage in that length of time. And now, with this scientific assurance at his command, he might wipe his natural enemy, the "cracker," from the face of the earth. Let lynchers beware! If an army of trained and cultivated hook-worms should be designedly turned loose on the imperious but helpless constituents of Ben Tillman, all the pitchforks in Dixie would not save them. It is not the "cost of slavery" so much as the wrath of heaven that is evidenced in the hostile attitude of the hook-worm against the bourbon persecutors of Ham. THE WATER QUESTION. NO municipal question has been forced upon the people of Denver more often or more persistently as a campaign issue than the question regarding the water supply. The discussion has run the whole length of irrelevant and irregular agitation, and the fact that only in recent years has it centered in the final question of municipal ownership is direct evidence that the matter has not grown naturally and directly out of the conditions and relations existing between the citizens of Denver, on one side, and the companies which have built up the present great system of water supply, on the other side, but rather that shrewd politicians have made this great question a matter of convenient resort, to be periodically injected into campaigns which, of themselves, furnished no other important non-partisan issues. The legitimate question of water supply is one of the greatest questions with which a city may deal, as it is one of the most careful subjects to which a well organized corporate enterprise may apply its energies, and it should be approached with the utmost saneness and deliberation. It will not do to guess that a city can take over the responsibilities of a great corporate enterprise serving a great public need, at any stage of its municipal career and under any conditions of self-reliance. The real question with the citizens and tax-payers is whether municipal ownership will materially reduce the taxes and at the same time afford the city a service not inferior to that supplied by the corporation and demanded by the city's welfare. The people of Denver know better than anybody else their own conditions and abilities, and for the furtherance of a great undertaking they need to know only their requirements. The public statement so prominently issued by David H. Moffat, president of the Denver Union Water Company, is a reliable source of information. It would be considered such in a deal between any other two corporate bodies. A false statement under such conditions could be too easily traced. An investment giving an assured annual dividend of less than 1 per cent. under private management cannot be eliminated of danger as a public asset. If the public management of a public service plant can reduce the operating expenses of that plant below those required under private management, to the appreciable benefit of the taxpayer, it must be under unusual and almost ideal conditions. The city of Denver does not enjoy those conditions. It has not reached the age at which cities of its metropolitan character confidently approach such undertakings. It is in its civic infancy, as compared with other metropolitan cities; its political stability has not been adequately established, because of the character of its growth, and its other great responsibilities are too numerous and varied. The experiments with which older and graver cities have dealt disastrously would be an invitation to spoilsmen here, who, at the present day, agitate for no other purpose than for the development of a system of political spoils to the evils of which the unsuspecting taxpayer is blinded by the bitter and unfair attacks of demagogues upon the successful operators of the present system. The granting of the proposed new franchise to the present owners of the water supply system would be far less expensive to the citizens and taxpayers of the city of Denver. It Affects Every Person in United States By THURDE RAYLE BRUCE N MY TRAVELS I have read with great interest the many articles appearing in the different newspapers and other publications on the use of more daylight, and have been pleased to see that the press has not only been liberal in the space devoted to this subject but that the vast majority of the publications are favorable. However, quite a few fall into the common error of thinking that the same thing could be accomplished without complications by changing the hour of work and that the advocates of securing more daylight by changing the clocks during the summer time fool themselves. I They overlook the fact that suburban trains are run to-day in accordance with the present schedule of hours in the commercial world. Mail trains are regulated to a large extent along the same lines and the office force as a rule time their arrival with the first mail. Therefore if the hours of beginning the day's work were advanced an hour everything would be out of line. If it became an established custom to advance the hands of the clock May 1 one hour, allowing them to remain until October 1, when they would be changed back to the present standard of time, it would not be necessary for the railroads to change their time tables and all schedules would be kept by the clock, the same as to-day, and the change would be forgotten almost immediately. In the summer at least those sections of the country that were robbed of a good portion of an hour by the establishing of standard time would have this time restored and every one given an additional hour during the summer time to devote to rest or recreation as they may elect [Portrait of a man with a mustache and a suit]. It must not be overlooked that as this proposed reform contains no politics or religion and is not of profit it is everybody's business and therefore nobody's business. Yet it is unique, inasmuch as it injures no one and does not call for the expenditure of Uncle Sam's money. So every one should do what he can to aid it. It affects every man, woman and child in the United States and it is a subject worthy of strenuous activity on the part of politicians, the press and all who act for the good of humanity. More-daylight associations should be formed in every section of the country, as it is only concerted action that changes which are not of profit can be brought about. Modern Public Desires Popular Melodies By EDWIN L. ARKINS A writer speaks of the low nature of many vocal solos rendered during bands concerts and asks if we lack composers of more inspiring songs. It is not so much the lack of composers as it is of the people who appreciate higher class songs. The modern public desires melodies of this nature; in fact, the majority would not understand any other. If the songs that were popular two score or more years ago were produced to-day they would, no doubt, be jeered at and ridiculed. Surely the admirers of most of the modern songs could not comprehend the beauty and uplifting character of such as "Drink to Me Only with Thine Eyes," "Silver Threads Among the Gold" and "Mary of Argyle." In order to cater to the degraded tastes of the majority of the people of to-day the maudlin songs are composed. Nevertheless, those who have charge of these concerts should give to the public a series of numbers that have nothing of the debasing character in them, but which will have an elevating influence on the minds of those who appreciate them, regardless of the likes and dislikes of the rabble. What Is Use of Getting Married By SIDNEY BELL What Is Use of Getting Married By SIDNEY BELL What is the use of getting married?" asks a correspondent. I'll tell you. It is to have a happy, comfortable home. That statement looks selfish, too, doesn't it? But look farther. To have that kind of a home there must be love, and that takes unselfish regard for each other. To make a home comfortable it must be comfortable for your husband or wife. That takes more unselfishness on your part. Children are the greatest blessings that can come into a home. They take still more unselfishness. You must care for them, love them, watch over them, seek to make them happy, and teach them unless home is made attractive for them. Neither husband nor wife alone can make home happy and comfortable. If you will try to make your home as happy and comfortable for the other inmates of it you will do a great deal toward making it happy and comfortable for yourself. Then if the others will do the same—and you must get them to—you will no longer ask "What is the use of getting married?" Theory That Pain Is Essential By AGNES CLARKE Prof. Foster's theory that pain is essential and necessary for the higher development of the human being is not tenable. There are isolated cases where great works have been accomplished by persons who were suffering mentally and physically, but the best work of the world has been done in the main by persons who were physically and mentally healthy and happy. It is not likely that troubles made the work of Washington or Lincoln more effective, and Poe probably sought the flowing bowl for the express purpose of obtaining that ecstatic mental condition which enabled him to produce what he sought to produce, rather than for the drowning of his sorrows. A child that knows neat of grief or pain is about the happiest and best product of the planet, and the idea that such a life must be "tried in the crucible" to attain its highest measure is arrant nonsense.

RESOLUTIONS OF CONDOLENCE Denver, Oct. 12, 1909. Whereas, it has pleased Almighty God to remove from our number one of our highest esteemed sisters, Ruth Marks, who by name was born Ruth, but by secrets, degrees and obligations was made an earthly Ruth. Sister Marks joined Household Ruth No. 376 of the city of Denver April 20, 1897, and has never failed to do her duty as a Ruth for twelve long years. I have counseled, been on committees and in many other ways been sisterly associated with her, and always found her agreeable to approach on any subject as long as it was for the uplifting of the Household, and did not conflict with the law. Isn't this a beautiful character of itself? Willing to be governed by one of the books of God's Holy Bible, and if you would like to know more of her faithfulness as a pass officer read carefully the book of Ruth. Resolved, That we, the Household, do deeply feel her loss, and extend to the bereaved family our heartfelt sympathy in their hours of sorrow of the loss of a devoted mother and a faithful wife. We, the Household of Ruth, commit you to God above. He can all our sorrows heal. I hope when the messenger called Sister Marks she answered, as I have so often heard her say in our work on earth, "If it is my time, all right." Past Most Noble Governess, rest in peace and happiness. We, your committee. We, your committee, MARY E. HOLMES. MARTHA RILEY. NELLIE WALKER. LOCAL NOTICES Hair cut, 15c, 1847 Blake street. S. A.

In the summer of 1900 a party of surveyors was working through the state of Arkansas, surveying and lo- cating the Midland Valley road. One day the surveying corps stopped at a farmhouse and shouted for the farmer. The Arkansan came out, and the surveyors asked him if they could get a drink. “Certainly, boys,” he said. “I'll give you the best I've got, and the best I've got is buttermilk.” “That will be fine,” the surveyors said, and the old farmer gave each of the gang a glass of buttermilk. “It’s mighty good,” said one of the surveyors to McLoud. “Yes, indeed,” McLoud replied, “but it would be better if we had some ice to put in it” Turning to the farmer, McLoud said, “Haye you any ice?” “Jee!” shouted the farmer, tugging at his whiskers. “Ice!

COOK MAKES ANSWER SAYS IF ROUTE IS FOLLOWED RECORDS WILL BE FOUND ON THE SUMMIT. New York—The globe Thursday prints a copy of the affidavit made by’ Edwin N. Barrill, who accompanied Dr. Frederick A. Cook at the time he announced his reaching the summit of Mt. McKinley. The affidavit was made before a notary at Tacoma, Wash., and says that Cook was not nearer the summit than fourteen miles, and that Barrill falsified his records to the con- trary in a diary by Cook’s order. Dr. Cook made the following state- ment: “The statements of Barrill are abso- lutely false in every particular. I am framing a reply and will make it pub- lc at the earliest possible moment. “We have learned that money has been offered for information regarding. my astent of Mount McKinley. I have not paid any particular attention to the talk regarding that trip, because I did not think it was worth while. “T will not speak of it until Barrill returns east. He fs coming east now. Since my return to this country I have had only’ a short message from him. That was in answer to my telegram asking him to come east, and he re- plied he could not do so at that time.” Dr. Cook later said: “I never even knew Barrill kept a diary. I never saw it, consequently I could not have asked him to alter any- thing whatever. The only thing I ever saw him do was to take sketches. Any statements of his that [ suggested the changing of dates and altitude is a Ne.” “Is there any reason why Barrill should make the assertion that you did not reach the summit of Mount McKin- ley” Dr. Cook was asked. “He was not paid in full for all of his services, but neither were others. It was just an oversight.” “Do you think that would make him vindictive” “T do not think it should.” Referring to Barrill’s sworn state- ment, Dr. Cook said: “{ cannot really understand why Barrill should have made such a statement as the newspapers repro- duced, if he was acting under normal conditions. I must say it surprises me. We were always on the most friendly terms. Until I know of the conditions under which this alleged af- fidavit was made, I will make no spe- cific reply to it. My account of the trip has been published. For the pres- ent it is the bald statement of one man against another. “If an expedition of experienced mountaineers will follow the route that I took and will go to the top of Mount McKinley, they will find there the records which I deposited on at- taining the summit of the mountain in the manner deseribed in my book, ‘To the Top of the Continent.’ “It appears to me that there was money behind his statement. He was perhaps annoyed that he had not been paid the wages, but that was not my fault and I remedied the matter as soon as I got back from the pole.” Dr. Cook met with a hearty recep- tion at Philadelphia. Several thousand persons cheered him as he stepped out of the station. A military guard of honor, composed of the city troop, pre- sented arms as he entered his carriage and. the troop acted as the explorer’s escort throughout the city. Denth of Colonel Max Frost. Santa Fo, N. M.—Col. Max Frost, the nestor of New Mexico journalists, died Wednesday night, aged fifty-sev- en Colonel Frost was editor of the Dafly New Mexican and for twelve years was secretary of the Bureau of Immigration, Although he had been ill for ten years with locomotor ataxia and blind for the Jast seven years, he retained his grasp upon journalistic and political affairs until this year, when he retired from active work. He was a thirty-third degree Mason and came to New Mexico in 1876. Accents Crane's Resianation. Washington.—All doubt as to what action the President would take with respect to the resignation of Charles R.

He Bit. __ Ex-Police Commissioner Bingham of ‘New York said of graft at a recent ‘dinner: “Phe grafter isn’t so easily caught; ‘he isn’t quite so naive as an old fellow ‘they used to tell about in Andover. “This old fellow was suspected of tampering with the church collections. A couple of clumsy traps that were set for him failed to work. ‘Then one day a young deacon walked past his house leading a new horse. “That's a fine horse, deacon,’ the old fellow shouted. ‘Did you buy him at the fair?’ “Yes, said the deacon. Then, as the other came nearer, he added: “J bought him with my pickings out of the collection plate." “The old man looked horrified. “Good gracious!’ he said. ‘I've often taken enough myself to buy a hat or a pair of trousers; but, deacon, in takin’ enough to buy a horse ain't ye committin’ a positive sin!"” Pe ey ey to The cook had been called away to a sick sister, and so the newly wed mis. tress of the house undertook, with the aid of the maid, to get the Sunday luncheon. The little maid, who had been struggling in the kitchen with a coffee mill that would not work, con: fessed that she had forgotten to wash the lettuce. “Well, never mind, Pearl. Go on with the coffee and I'll do it,” said the considerate mistress. “Where do they keep the soap?” Proper Love for Wife. “When a man really loves his wife he ought to combine all his nicest sentiments toward other women into one big sentiment for her. “He should show her the respect he feels toward his mother, the polite ness he shows other women and the responsibility he feels toward his sis- ter. “To all of that he should add the great love he should feel for a wife.” FOOD QUESTION Gettled with Perfect Satisfaction by a Dyspeptic. It's not an easy matter to satisfy all the members of the family at meal time as every housewife knows. And when the husband has dyspep sia and can't eat the simplest ordinary food without causing trouble, the food question becomes doubly annoying. An Illinois woman writes: “My husband’s health was poor, he had no appetite for anything I could get for him, it seemed, “He was hardly able to work, was taking medicine continually, and a: soon as he would feel better would gc to work again only to give up in « few weeks. He suffered severely wit! stomach trouble. “Tired of everything I had been able to get for him to eat, er2 day seeing an advertisement abvut Grape-Nuts, | got some and tried it for breakfast the next morning, “We all thought {t was pretty good although we had no idea of using it regularly.

THE Colorado Statesman 1824 Curtis Street For the Hostess Chat on Topics of Many Kinds. by a Recognized Authority This clever animal party may be utilized for guests either old or young. It is also adaptable for the needs of church societies, which are always in search of schemes to break the monotony, especially at the very commencement of an evening affair. As each person enters a slip of paper containing the name of an animal is to be pinned upon his back and he is told he must guess from the conversation of those around him what animal he is supposed to represent. Then pass booklets ornamented with cute little "Teddy" bears and pencils. On a door have a poster of the animals going two by two into the ark and the words, "This Way to the Greatest Show on Earth." Admit the guests in groups to this room, where the cages containing the animals will be found, allowing ten minutes for each group to guess what the cages contain. Here is a list of animals which may be added to by individual hostesses: "Kid" (a glove of kid), "Lynx" (links of a chain), "Rat" hair rat), "Monkey" (letters M O N and a door key), "Chamois" (a piece of chamois), "Lion" (a doll's pillow, "Goat" (a small piece of butter), "Peacock" (a dried pea and a toy rooster), "Bear" (a tiny undressed doll), "Eagle," (the letter E and a picture of a sea gull). The cages (boxes crossed with wire) were numbered, and the guests wrote down what they supposed the animal was in the booklet opposite a corresponding number. Animal candy boxes are good for prizes. Then have a contest to see who can come the nearest pinning a goat's whiskers on in the proper place, the contestant to be blindfolded. Serve an ice, "animal" cookies and barley sugar animals. Japanese Fan-Tan. At a Japanese affair this delectable concoction was served. I give the recipe as it came to me feeling sure it will be very welcome, as many calls for just such a dish come to the department. To make fan-tan, cook half cupful of well-washed rice in a pint of milk until very soft. Stir in a heaping tablespoonful of sugar and one well-beaten egg and remove at once from the fire. Mix in a half cupful of assorted candied fruits, cherries, apricots and pine apple, and turn into a shallow, well-ubterted pan to cool. When firm cut into strips about an inch and a half wide and three inches long; dip in egg and breadcrumbs and brown delicately on both sides in butter. Drain, dust with powdered sugar and serve hot. Announcing an Engagement. The hostess had asked eight girls to luncheon and no one expected the interesting news that was announced Paris Models in this fashion: The centerpiece was a low mound-shaped form of white roses known as "bride," and there was a delicate fringe around them of maid-en-hair ferns and mignonette. Over this from the chandelier swung a cluster of white wedding bells; they were tied with fluffy tulle streamers. The place cards were little standing cards of a bride and bridegroom cut out, and it did not take long to cover that the faces were photographs of the young woman, who was soon discovered to be the honored guest and the lucky man, who it was discovered, was to lead her to the altar. This menu was served: Chilled canteloup cream of spinach soup, fillets of fresh fish fried in olive oil, with sauce tartare; creamed sweetbreads, green peas in timbals, finger rolls, fruit salad, with cheese and bar-le-duc, pine apple sorbet, small cakes, coffee. A Good Guessing Contest. The answers to each question are words ending in "age." What is the age of a ship? Voyage. What is the age of a pocket-book? Coinage. What is the most musical age? Bandage. What age is necessary for a soldier? Courage. What is a railroad's age? Mileage. What the earliest age to express? Package. What age is always ahead? Cabbage. What's Uncle Sam's age? Postage. What age does the ostrich attain? Plumage. What age do single people never reach? Marriage. What age does a lady prefer? Manage. What's the best age for a horse? Carriage. What is said to be a mean age? Damage. What age should a king have? Homage. What age is always before us? Dotage. MADAME MERRI FANCIES OF FASHION. Never has lace been so universally used.

DENVER. DEATH IN TERRIBLE SHAPE One of the Most Horrible of All the Horrible Imaginings of Edgar Allan Poe. The wife of one of the most respected citizens—a lawyer of eminence and a member of congress—was seized by a sudden and unaccountable illness which completely baffled the skill of her physicians. After much suffering she died, or was supposed to die. For three days the body was preserved unburied, during which it acquired a stony rigidity. The funeral, in short, was hastened on account of the rapid advance of what was supposed to be decomposition. The lady was deposited in her family vault, which for three years was undisturbed. At the expiration of this term it was opened for the reception of a sarcophagus; but, alas; how fearful a shock awaited the husband, who personally threw open the door. As its portals swung outwardly back, some white appareled object fell rattling within his arms. It was the skeleton of his wife in her yet unmoldered shroud. A careful investigation rendered it evident that she had revived within two days of her entombment, that her struggles within the coffin had caused it to fall from a ledge or shelf to the floor, where it was so broken as to permit her to escape. On the uppermost steps which led down to the dread chamber was a large fragment of coffin, with which it seemed that she had endeavored to arrest attention by striking the iron door. While thus occupied, she probably swooned or possibly died through sheer terror; and in falling her shroud became entangled in some iron work which projected interiorly. Thus she remained and thus she rotted erect.—Edgar Allan Poe. FELT THE HOME INCOMPLETE Peculiar Piece of Valuable Brica-a-Brac Excited the Envy of Magazine Editor. The editor of one of the leading magazines of New York has a viewpoint which often cheers his friends. His social affairs are such that on some occasions he and his wife dine in the homes of sumptuous wealth, while on other occasions they partake of chafing dish spreads in the candle-lighted studios of artists more or less struggling. Not long since they dined with a family where the evidences of wealth were numerous. Among them was a platter of rare and costly porcelain. Mrs. Editor was enthusiastic over the beauty of it and its priceless antiquity, and the hostess called attention to the fact that it had been broken many times and that the pieces were riveted together with gold. In fact, she had a servant pass. It around for examination to show how badly it had, on different occasions, been shattered, and how, on the back, it showed a mass of gold rivets. The next morning, when the editor came to his own breakfast table, he appeared to be in a chastened, not to say, depressed, frame of mind. Mrs. Editor inquired the cause. "Yes," he mused, reflectively, looking around on the dainty table and at the neat little apartment. "Yes, it is a comfortable and well-kept little home, but—so—ah—my dear—so sort of unrivened." "Act Well Your Part." But there is one great, striking difference between the theatrical stage and the great drama of human life. On the former, as a rule, the leading lights—the star actors and actresses—get most of the applause; those who are forced to play the lesser rules often get but scant notice. But on the great, wide stage where the Author of our being is both judge and audience, it matters not what part we play—whether it be prominent or obscure—provided we play it well. The hod-carrier and the poor washwoman, who perform conscientiously and exactly the duties of their lowly state, may be far more pleasing to their Maker than the professional man, the monarch or the genius—certainly a consoling reflection. Milk From Beans. The Japanese have discovered a cheap substitute for the milch cow in the form of a tiny bean. The juice, which is extracted by a special process from the bean, is said to be an excellent vegetable milk, the properties of which render it highly suitable for use in tropical countries. The preparation, according to the Java Times, is obtained from the soja bean, a member of the leguminous family of plants and a popular article of food among the poorer classes of Chinese and Japanese. In making the vegetable milk the beans are first of all softened by soaking and boiled in water. The resultant liquor is exactly similar to cows' milk in appearance, but is entirely different in its composition. Man's Guardian Angels. The following beautiful allegory is told among the Turks: Every man has two guardian angels, one on his right shoulder and one on his left. In doing good the angel on the right shoulder notes it down and sets his seal upon it, for what is done is done forever. When evil is committed the angel on the left shoulder writes it down, but he waits until midnight before he seals it. If by that time the man bows his head and says: 'Gracious Allah. I have sinned, forgive me! the angel blots out the fault, but if not he seals it at midnight and then the angel on the right shoulder weeps.
