Lewis' Decision Brings Light on the Disadvantage of the City Ownership of Water Plant as touches the Gleenwood Springs Case. VOL. XVI. DENVER WAT Judge Robert E. Lewis' Decisive advantage of the City Ow as touches the Glee Robert E. Lewis, judge of the United States District Court, in a decision handed down last week, gave more light on the actual status of the water question in Denver than has been shed by anyone since the question has been under discussion. The case at bar was a controversy between the city of Glenwood Springs and The Glenwood Springs Light and Water Company over the right of the city to build a new water plant and ruin the property of the company. The company is operating in Glenwood Springs under a franchise which gives the city an option to purchase the plant at any time during the life of the contract. Some time ago the city notified the company of its intention to proceed under that option with a view to the purchase of the property, and after giving the notice proceeded to secure an appraisement of the property to determine its value. The appraisement was not satisfactory to the company, neither was it satisfactory to some of the citizens of Glenwood Springs. As a result of the dissatisfaction certain citizens of the town set in motion a plant for the construction by the city of a new water plant for the purpose of driving the private company out of business. The water company appealed to the United States Court for an injunction restraining the city from building a new plant, and to require it either to purchase the property of the company or permit it to continue in the business of turningishing water to the citizens. Judge Lewis granted the prayer of the company, and held that the city, having notified the company of its intention to proceed under its option to purchase, could not at its pleasure set aside its contract so to do. Judge Lewis' decision was based on previous rulings of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, the highest tribunal of the land except the United States Supreme Court. These rulings say: "A CITY HAVING THE OPTION TO PURCHASE A WATER SYSTEM MUST, IF IT NOTIFIES THE OWNER THAT IT WILL ACT UNDER THE OPTION, THEREAFTER PROCEED UNDER THE CONTRACT, WHICH BECOMES ABSOLUTE AND IRREVOCABLE FROM THE MOMENT NOTICE IS GIVEN." This is fundamental law for the government of the acts of the city of Denver in all matters relating to the water question as here presented. The trial of the Glenwood Springs case has developed an amusing situation so far as it bears on the identity of the persons who are opposing the Denver Union Water Company and demanding that Denver proceed to build a new plant and wreck the property of the existing company. Former Governor Charles S. Thomas appeared as counsel for the Glenwood Springs Water Company, and contended against the right of the city to build a new plant to wreck that company. He won his case. Former Governor Charles S. Thomas is special counsel for the city of Denver against the Denver Union Water Company, and probably will, on exactly the same state of facts, be called upon to go into court, reverse himself and contend for the right of the city of Denver to build a new plant and wreck the company doing business here. How can he win that case? The facts are identical with those on which he did win, but he is on the opposite side. Sen. Jno. A. Rush, author of the Rush bill, and of the famous correspondence that pointed out to Eastern capitalists an easy way to clean up from $1,000,000 to $5,000,000 during the Tramway franchise agitation, opposed Thomas. He appeared for the city of Glenwood Springs. He lost his case. In the event of legal proceedings over the right of Denver to do what the court says Glenwood Springs cannot do, he probably will be with Thomas. For once John may be consistent. Thomas has already turned his somersault in the case, and it was no surprise to anyone who has watched the career of the famous legal and political acrobat. Last Sunday Senator Patterson, frightened at the threatened disarrangement of his plan to defeat the Denver Union Water Company, induced the former governor to prepare a lengthy letter setting forth the dissimilarity between the Denver and Glenwood cases, which he published under glaring headlines on the first page of the Rocky Mountain News. Thomas' letter, however, did not produce the desired effect, for the former governor admitted, perhaps unintentionally, exactly what he was trying to deny. He said in part: "Under the decision of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, a city having the option to purchase a water system must, if it notifies the owner that it will act under the option, thereafter proceed under the contract, which becomes absolute and irrevocable from the moment notice is given. Hence the town of Glenwood Springs, having so acted, must secure its plant by purchase or condemnation of the existing one and not by building another. This is practically the beginning and the end of the pending controversy as I understand it. "If Denver next April shall elect to exercise its option under Ordinance No. 44 of 1890, the Glenwood case would be authority with others that the contract to purchase would then be absolute and must be performed. Until such action is here taken, the conditions are not at all parallel. (Signed) "C. S. THOMAS." The former governor apparently was so anxious to protect Special Counsel Thomas, who appears for the city of DENVER. COLORADO, SATURDAY, JANUARY 8 1910. State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House tronizing The RADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, Denver, that he overlooked some very important facts in the Denver situation. The city of Denver has already notified the Denver Union Water Company of its desire to exercise its option under Ordinance No. 44 of 1890, to the full extent of the authority of the officials of the city. Therefore, it has complied with the conditions that Governor Thomas says must be complied with before the cases become parallel, and upon which he concedes they do become parallel. Under date of July 9, 1907, more than two years ago, Mayor Speer, acting under the authority given him as chief executive of the city, wrote a letter to the water company, of which the following is a part: "YOUR CONTRACT AND FRANCISE WITH THE CITY EXPIRES TWO YEARS FROM NEXT APRIL, WHEN HE CITY HAS A RIGHT TO PURCHASE THE WATER PLANT AT A VALUATION TO BE FIXED BY APPRAISERS—APPOINTED AS PROVIDED IN CONTRACT; OR GRANT A NEW FRANCISE FOR TWENTY YEARS, WITH RATES DEFINITELY FIXED, SO AS TO BE EASILY UNDERSTOOD BY EVERY ING NEW RATES TO BE FIXED; THE FACT THAT YOUR CONTRACTS WITH GLOBEVILLE AND HIGHLANDS HAVE ALREADY EXPIRED, OUR RAPID GROWTH, REQUIRING MANY EXTENSIONS AND ENLARGEMENTS OF MAINS; BUT ABOVE ALL, THE PREVENTION OF POLITICAL AGITATION AND STRIFE FOR THREE YEARS, INJURING BUSINESS AND RETARDING OUR ADVANCEMENT, I BELIEVE WARRANT AN IMMEDIATE AND DEFINITE SETTLEMENT OF THE WATER QUESTION, WHICH CAN BE DONE BY YOU WAIVING THE TIME LIMIT OF PRESENT CONTRACT AND PROCEEDING AS IF IT HAD FULLY EXPIRED." This communication can only be construed as a notification to the company that the city desired to exercise its option to purchase, and all that was necessary to consummate the transaction was the affirmative vote of the taxpayers upon the appraisal of the plant. Mr. D. H. Moffat, president of the Denver Union Water Company, replying to the mayor, accepted the proposal to proceed immediately with negotiations that would bring the question of purchase or extension of the franchise before the taxpaying electors for final determination. Pursuant to the proposals made in the correspondence the city council a short time later passed ordinances 163 and 164, series of 1907, authorizing the appointment of the board of appraisers called for in Ordinance No. 44, series of 1890, under which the water company is operating. This is the ordinance in behalf of which Senator Patterson represented the Denver Water Company in the proceedings before the city council in 1890. The board of appraisers thus appointed has determined the value of the property of the water company. In the appraisal proceedings, both the city and the company spent large sums of money in presenting the several matters bearing on the issue. Former Governor Thomas should have a very distinct recollection of these proceedings, for he obtained a large fee from the city for the work he performed before the board of appraisers, and it is hardly reasonable to assume that the former state executive imagines that this board was created only to give him a fee. city of . Surely he cannot suggest to the city of Denver a more explicit manner of saying to the water company: It is the desire of the city to proceed with the exercise of its option for the purchase of your property, so far as the officials may without the final vote of the taxpayers. Will not the decisions of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, under which Judge Lewis acted, and which Mr. Thomas quotes, fit perfectly with this proceeding as sufficient notice to the company to establish its rights under the decision? Ordinance No. 44 of 1890 gives the city the alternative of purchasing the plant or extending the franchise for twenty years, and it is difficult to see how, in the face of the action already taken by the city, where it has any more right to build a new plant than has the city of Glenwood Springs. COMMUNICATION FROM DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON Special to Colorado Statesman: I have received so many letters recently regarding the proposed celebration in the year 1913 of the fiftieth anniversary of the freedom of the American Negro that I deem it wise to ask you to permit me to use your columns in making some reply to these letters rather than in trying to answer each one individually. Attention has already been called to the importance of some kind of a celebration to take the form of an exposition or something else. Of course, in order to have such an exposition, it is of the first importance that it have the recognition and support of the United States Government, as well as that of as many states as possible, for without the influence and help of the central government it would hardly be possible to have an exposition that would reflect credit upon our race. Having all this in mind, the whole matter of such an exposition was carefully put before the President of the United States, and after considering the whole subject with great care, manifesting the deepest interest, it was thought best by President Taft and others who consulted with him that, in order to secure the confidence and support of the American people, that the whole matter ought to be taken up in a dignified, orderly way and that this could best be accomplished through the appointment of a preliminary and temporary commission by the President, authorized by Congress, such commission to be composed of men of such ripe and wide experience and reputation that their recommendations would carry weight. It would be the purpose of such a commission to study carefully the whole subject, and if deemed wise to recommend the holding of such an exposition, to map out a general and comprehensive scheme for same. This would prove the basis for an appeal to Congress and to state Legislatures and philanthropic individuals for such support as would create an exposition that would command the respect and confidence of the world. Accordingly, a bill has been prepared and introduced into both the House of Representatives and the United States Senate, carrying out the suggestion of providing for the appointment of a commission. President Taft further manifested his interest in the proposed exposi- tion by referring to it in the most complimentary way in his recent message. It is believed that the bill introduced into Congress will pass early in the present session. In order to insure the success of the exposition, it is important that we proceed carefully and systematically. No hasty, ill-considered plan will command the respect and confidence of the American people. I wish to say in this same connection that it is important that the race be patient while these plans are maturing. In the end it will be found that every element of the race will receive proper recognition and be given an opportunity to take part in the exposition. So far as the selection of individuals to take the leadership of the matter is concerned, nothing definite has been done; only preliminary committees have been selected with a view of getting matters in shape to present to the President. After the passage of the bill now before Congress and the appointment of the commission by the President, there will be plenty of time for all organizations, denominations and institutions to receive proper recognition, and I am sure that this will be done. Nothing can be gained, but much lost, by any attempt to take short cuts and by doing those things that call attention to little side issues that have no possible chance to succeed. We need in this matter the united effort of all elements of the race, and the evidence so far points to the fact that the race is more united on this project than it has ever been on any other of similar magnitude, and we hope that this union of the masses of the people will continue. I wish also to add that most careful consideration, before any decision is reached, will be given to the claims of every city or locality that is interested in having the proposed exposition located in its midst. Other information as progress is made from time to time will be given. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON Dec. 31, 1909. Tuskegee Institute, Ala. W. R. Pettiford, the founder and president of the Penny Savings Bank, of Birmingham, Ala., authorizes the following statement concerning the business done at the close of November 16, 1909: This bank has an authorized capital stock of $100,000. Albany, Ga., Dec. 28.—Deal L. Jackson, a well-to-do Negro farmer of Dougherty County, has given out that he cleared eight thousand and dollars on the farm this year. He is known as "Georgia's First Bale Man." Farmer Jackson, in telling of his big cotton crop, said: "I have now gathered my entire crop and find that I have ginned twenty-two bales of cotton to the plow. I have also made the biggest all-round crop in the history of my farming operations. I have saved an abundance of corn, fodder and hay—enough, it seems to me, to last two years. I have cleared on my farm during the year eight thousand dollars." NO.17 RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Wilkes-Barre, Pa., Dec. 18.—After carrying three bullets in his head for forty-seven years, Francis Rogers, a Civil War veteran, ejected them from his nose in sneezing. Rogers was shot in the head at Antietam and the bullets were never extracted. They have often caused severe headaches. Terre Haute, Ind., Dec. 19.—Edward Murphy had been seriously ill for some time, and finally the nurse announced he was dead. Undertaker Ball called and prepared to lay out the body, when Murphy rose up and announced that he felt much better. Galveston, Texas, Dec. 23. James J Jeffries provoked a storm of hisses at the opera house here last night for his slurring of "Jack" Johnson, the heavy weight champion fighter, whom he is to meet in the ring next July. Instead of making friends, Jeffries lost many and greatly dissapointed the others by the way he denounced his colored rival. Discussing the fight he said: It will not be a long fight, and when it's over, the Texas man will be minus his block, for I will knock it off him before he is in the ring many minutes." Senator Jones, of the State of Washington, has introduced in the Senate the bill reported by Representatives Rodenberk and Taylor last week, providing for the appointment of a commission of seven to investigate the feasibility of holding a semi-centennial exposition showing the progress of the Negro in his fifty years of freedom, and carrying an appropriation of $5,000 for the expenses of such commission. The measure will be given early consideration, and since it has the earnest approval of the President there is little doubt that it will be passed without notable opposition. Cincinnati, O., Dec. 28.—Announcement made in this city that at a meeting of Presbyterian ministers of this city it was agreed to out of all financial support the Presbyterian Church has been giving the Negro members for a number of years has provoked no little discussion in church circles. It is charged that for several years fully $50,000 has been spent on the Negro Presbyterians of this city, and that no good results have come of the expenditure. The Carmel Presbyterian Church, where most of the money has gone is said to be almost vacant every Sunday except the Sunday School rooms.

PINCHOT LETTER STIRS SENATE MAY RESULT IN HIS REMOVAL FOR DISOBEYING PRESIDENT'S ORDER. HE DEFENDS L. R. GLAVIS SAYS PUBLIC INTERESTS WERE JEOPARDIZED BY REFUSAL OF SECRETARY TO ACT. Washington.—The Ballinger-Pinchot controversy was made doubly intense Thursday by the reading in the Senate of a letter addressed by Mr. Pinchot to Senator Dolliver, in which the course adopted by L. R. Glavis, with the assistance of Messrs. Price and Shaw of the bureau of forestry, was warmly approved. Mr. Pinchot's letter called Senator Hale to his feet with a severe rebuke to the chief forester for having ignored a recent order by the President directing that no subordinate officer should give information concerning affairs of the government except to his superior officers. It is reported that a special Cabinet meeting, called later, considered the removal of Pinchot for disobeying the President's order. In the letter to Senator Dolliver Mr. Pinchot said that Messrs. Price and Shaw had prepared an official report upon their actions, which he was transmitting to the secretary of agriculture. "This report shows that Messrs. Price and Shaw made public certain information regarding the so-called Cunningham claims for coal lands in Alaska," said Mr. Pinchot. "The effect of the publication was to direct critical public attention to the action of the Interior Department. "It shows that they countenanced the publication by L. R. Glavis of certain facts concerning these claims after he had been dismissed from office and that in other ways they endeavored to direct public attention to the imminent danger that the Alaska coal fields still in government ownership might pass forever into private hands, with little or no compensation to the public." This information, Mr. Pinchot adds, was of a nature proper to be made public, "unless there are secrets which the people of the United States are not entitled to know concerning the source, nature and progress of claims made for portions of the public lands." "The rumor," he said, "that the Glavis report to the President was prepared in or by the Forest Service is incorrect. At Glavis's request I sent Shaw, as it was proper I should, to Chicago, to assist him in arranging his material for submission to the President." After saying that these officials had acted on information had concerning the danger of the loss of the Alaska coal lands Mr. Pinchot continued "Action through the usual official channels and finally even an appeal to the President had resulted (because of what I believe to have been a mistaken impression of the facts) in eliminating from the government service, in the person of Glavis, the most vigorous defender of the people's interests. Furthermore the refusal of the Secretary of the Interior to assume responsibility in the cases had left their conduct wholly in the hands of subordinates each of whom was apparently committed in favor of patenting these claims." Apple Queen Chosen. Denver.—The contest for Queen of the Apple Show closed at 10 o'clock Thursday night in the midst of a furore of excitement. It resulted in the election of Miss Mabel Skinner of Fruita, Colorado, who, according to the Republican's report, received 70,003 votes, to 20,140 for Miss Genevieve Hartig of Delta and 18,504 for Miss Ixcie Cady of Paonia. The vote on the other candidates, of whom there were over twenty, had not been announced up to Friday morning. Miss Skinner has been in the lead for nearly two days, but it was not anticipated that she would more than replele the votes of her nearest competitor. The intense rivalry that developed just before the close of the contest indicated that one of the three leaders would win. Friends of Miss Skinner seemed confident, but spurred to action by the Delta and Paonia boosters for their candidates, they rallied bravely toward the end. In some instances lots of $50 worth of votes were purchased at one time for one or the other of the leaders. Bitter enmity marked the closing hours of the campaign. Becoming very pronounced in the afternoon, when charges of fraud were circulated, it was smothered by the exposition management, only to burst forth with increased fury at the close of the contest. Insurgents Not Scared. Washington. — "Tae Insurgent Republicans of the House are not intimidated by the action of the administration in withholding patronage from them and are not scared into silence by any apparent combination of President Taft and Speaker Cannon!" This was the declaration of Representative Norris of Nebraska, one of the leading Insurgents. Mr. Norris resented stories appearing in one or two Washington and New York newspapers to the effect that the Insurgents are "laying down" under the edict of the administration. STATE NEWS ITEMS Tenants in the Masonic building at Trinidad must vacate by February 1st, when the old building will be torn down and a new Masonic temple, to cost about $40,000, will be erected. The fact that few or none of the fashionable apartment houses in Denver will admit children has led to a movement to erect such a building exclusively for families with children. It has been decided to build the new Normal school building at Gunnison with Gunnison granite, on a foundation of brick. From the water table up it will be trimmed with Gunnison white sandstone. A new system of feeding lambs will be inaugurated on the Zeigler ranch in Larimer county. Watson Zeigler, in an address to the short course students at the Agricultural college stated that the present method of separate feeding of hay and grain would soon give way to the new method of grinding the alfalfa and grain together and feeding the mixture. The Fort Morgan sugar factory shut down on the 4th inst., after an eighty-five day run, having sliced about 72,000 tons of beets, or an average of 847 tons per day. This mill is rated at 600 tons. The mill made the campaign with but one minor accident to machinery. The pulp is being held by the sugar company, which is feeding 3,000 cattle in the yards near the factory. Judge Shattuck, in the District Court at Denver, has rendered a judgment of $10,000 for libel against Consul Adolph Rossi, representing the Italian government in Denvor, in favor of former Consul Pasquale Corte, who charges Rossi with defamation of character. The judgment was by default, Consul Rossi claiming that an American court is without jurisdiction in such a suit. Governor Shafroth has appointed Mrs. Sarah Platt Decker delegate to the National Civic federation meeting in Washington, D. C., January 17 to 20, 1910, and Labor Commissioner E. V. Brake delegate to the conference to be held in Washington, January 20, 1910, to investigate the employers' liability law and report for its betterment along the lines of the workmen's compensation act. According to the report of the weather bureau at Denver the lowest temperature during the month of December last was seventeen degrees below zero. For the thirty-one days of the month the average of the highest temperature recorded was 32.8 degrees Fahrenheit. The average of lowest temperature was 9.6 degrees. And the average of daily averages was 1.2. James A. Klug, who was drowned in Lake Minnequa, at Pueblo, on the 2d inst., and was believed to have been a Knoxville, Tenn., man, was later identified as the new superintendent of the Pueblo Gas Company. He had been in Pueblo only a few days, arriving from Denver, where he was connected with the Gas and Electric Company. His home was in Arcadia, Wis. The Reclamation Service has 250 men and teams enlarging the west canal, which will irrigate about 35,000 acres, and extends from seven miles above Montrose to Delta. It will be enlarged to carry 650 feet of water per second. It is expected to be finished in time to serve all land owners on the west side of the Uncompaghe river this year. The work will cost $65,000. At Denver on the 5th inst. the Colorado State Grange, Patrons of Husbandry, elected the following officers: John Morris of Golden, re-elected, master; Rudolph Johnson of Niwot overseer; C. Swazy of Edgewater, elector; K. S. Rhea of Littleton, steward; C. F. Schooner, assistant steward; Levi Booth, chaplain; C. H. Peterson, treasurer; A Riddle, secretary, re-elected. Steady growth and prosperity were shown by the reports. By a majority of forty-four votes out of 200 cast, the people of Grand Junction, on the 4th inst., voted to issue bonds for the purchase of the water system now owned by the Glenwood Springs Light and Water Company. When the polls opened a deputy United States marshal from Denver appeared and served upon each election officer a copy of the writ of injunction issued by Judge Lewis in the Federal Court at Denver, restraining the citizens from issuing the bonds. In order that he may convert his thousands of acres of sheep range in northern Weld county, Colorado, and southern Wyoming, into farm land, anticipating that the time is near when there will be no government land by which he may supplement his sheep range, Senator Warren of Wyoming will build ten reservoirs the coming year and use the water to raise al falfa for forage for his flocks. Many small creeks run through the Warren land and their water has heretofore gone to waste. He has built one reservoir costing $30,000 and will spend $150,000 on the others. Arrangements have been completed for a farmers' institute to be held at Boulder February 3d, 4th and 5th. The next examination for non-graduate veterinary surgeons will be held at Denver January 24th. Application for blanks can be made to the secretary, room 18, Capitol building. President Slocum of the Palmer Memorial Association at Colorado Springs, recently received a letter from a prominent eastern capitalist, a close friend of the Palmer family, pledging $1,000 toward the $60,000 fund for the proposed equestrian statue to the late general. 1909 PROGRESS OF COLORADO STATISTICS SHOW THAT IT WAS THE MOST PROSPEROUS YEAR EVER KNOWN.

Good Block-1557 Larimer St. Residence 2230 Clarkson St NEW TUNNEL TO CONNECT WITH ARGENTINE CENTRAL NEAR SILVER PLUME IS SAID TO BE ASSURED ROAD WILL BRING MONTEZUMA WITHIN SIXTY-FIVE MILES OF DENVER. Denver.—The Republican Thursday morning says: A railroad for the camp of Montezuma, in Summit county, is assured, and arrangements have been practically completed for the driving of a tunnel under a saddle of Gray's peak, to accommodate rails which will connect with the Argentine Central at a point between Silver Plume and the eastern portal of the Vidler tunnel. The financing of the proposed tunnel is assured. It will enter Gray's peak at a point 665 feet lower than the Vidler tunnel, and will be 2,600 feet shorter than that bore, which is, as surveyed, 7,880 feet long. Consequently the new tunnel with a grade of only $3\frac{1}{2}$ per cent., whereas the trains of the Argentine Central now have to climb a 6 per cent. grade to reach the east portal of the Vidler tunnel. So in length, distance to Silver Plume, and grade of the approach, the proposed tunnel is superior to the Vidler. In fact, it can be driven for its 5,200 feet of length almost as cheaply as the Vidler tunnel can be completed for the remaining 2,600 feet necessary to reach West Argentine, including widening of the latter to a size necessary to accommodate a narrow gauge train. The proposed tunnel will be 16x18 feet in size, and will be, to start, nearly large enough to admit of the passing of a standard gauge train. Surveys have determined the feasibility of the project, and one of the most prominent civil engineers of Denver has been in the field for nearly a month with a large crew, surveying not only the tunnel, but a line westward into Montezuma, eleven miles distant. The promoters of the tunnel, who are among the most responsible men in Denver, feel confident of their ability to finish the driving of the tunnel in a year's time, and claim they will start pretty soon. Work will be facilitated by the presence of new electrical power on either side of the range. The Summit County Power Company, controlled by the Denver Gas and Electric Light Company, will furnish the power for driving from the west portal, and power of the United Hydro-Electric Company of Idaho Springs, now a subsidiary of the Central Colorado Company, will be used to do the work from the eastern portal. It is planned to use an improved kind of electric drill, instead of compressed air. The driving of the proposed tunnel will place Montezuma within sixty-five miles of Denver, and will make directly accessible the can.) of West Argentine. Lively State Land Sale. Denver.—In the most remarkable land sale of several years, Dr. B. L. Jefferson, register of the state land office, on Wednesday sold between 20,000 and 25,000 acres of land. The applicants were so numerous that the sale was conducted in the house chamber, the entire first floor being crowded and an overflow into the gallery occurring. Prices soared from two to three times the original bids, and the state officers look upon the sale as a sure indication that the Colorado land boom is on in earnest. Among the applicants, though not among the bidders present, were a number of women. The bidding was eager and spirited in many cases. Land sold in Pueblo county as high as $30 an acre, and out in little Kit Carson, in the arid section, a quarter section ran up from $6 an acre to $17.50. The total of sales will not be known until the officials of the land office figure it up. Conejos county land in the sale of a 280-acre section of land, in two parcels, went from the opening bid of $7.50 to $25.50, and in the other case from $10 an acre to $28.50 an acre. Weld county land went in one instance from $20 to $25 an acre, in another, from $15 to $29; in another, from $15 to $21.50, and in still another from $15 to $23.50. Land sold in Morgan as high as $25 an acre and in Weld it sold for $20 and $5 an acre frequently. The total fire loss at Colorado Springs for the year just closed was $70,473, according to the annual report of Fire Chief McCartin.. Of this, $66,345.28 was covered by insurance. A meeting has been called at Pueblo for January 20th for the organization of the Colorado State Baseball League. The report of the Stratton estate executors for the year 1909 has been filed in the County Court at Colorado Springs. The total receipts during the year were $221,120.84 and the disbursements $166,702.39. The cash balance January 1st was $54,418.41. Two Excellent Recipes for Sweet Stuff That Will Not Appeal Only to Children. Here are two choice and excellent recipes for candy; Turkish delight—Soak one box of granulated gelatin in one-fourth cupful of water, pour over this one-half cupful of hot water and stir until dissolved. Now stir into this four cupfuls of sugar, put the saucepan on the back of the range and heat and stir until the sugar is all dissolved. Push the saucepan to the front of the range and let the contents boil ten minutes. Add the strained juice of one orange and one lemon, and boil ten minutes longer. Havs ready cut into small pieces one cupful each of walnut meats and almonds, stir these into the candy with the grated peel of one orange. Butter a long, shallow pah and pour the candy into this, having it about one-half inch thick and put in a cool, dry place for two days. Cut in squares, dust with powdered sugar, and pack in boxes. This is one of the most delicious candies made. Seafoam.—Boil two cupfuls of sugar with one cupful of corn sirup until a little of it dropped in cold water will form a crisp ball. Have the whites of two eggs beaten dry and stiff, pour the boiling candy on it and beat five minutes, then flavor with one teaspoonful of vanilla, add one cupful of filbert meats minced fine, and beat until the candy begins to get thick. Drop by spoonfuls on oiled paper. IDEAS IN COOKING CABBAGE Two Directions for the Cooking of Hot Slaw—When Baked Dish Is Desired. Hot Slaw.—Chop and cook in clear water with a little salt some white cabbage. When done drain, leaving a little water to prevent scorching. Pour over the cabbage this dressing: The yolk of one egg, one tablespoonful of sugar, celery seed, salt and paper, and a half cup of vinegar well beaten together. After pouring this over let it all come to a boil. This will slightly thicken the dressing. Serve hot. Hot Slaw.—One quart of nice white cabbage, chopped fine. Pepper and salt it and place in a dish. Then make the following dressing: Place three tablespoonfuls butter in a skillet, add one egg well beaten and one cupful of vinegar. When this boils up pour over the cabbage. Baked Cabbage.—A great many people to whom cabbage is distasteful find it delicious prepared in the following way: Take a firm white head of cabbage, cut in rather small pieces, and boil until tender. Drain off water, put in chopping bowl and chop fine. To a large cupful of rich milk add one egg, beaten, two tablespoonfuls of melted butter, seasoning with salt and a little white pepper if at hand. Mix with cabbage, put in baking pan and bake 20 minutes, putting small pieces of butter over the top. Touches That Count. Any sort of leaf tucked around a platter will make it look inviting. Fruit looks more prepossessing if set in a bed of green, and has flowers interspersed. Nasturtium leaves and tendrils are effective on salad not set on lettuce hearts. A touch of color is important in table decorations and many vegetables present themselves for this purpose. Carrots, beets, cucumbers, lemons in slices and tiny yellow tomatoes may be mentioned among this number. Cracked ice may be used artistically instead of merely as a chiller. Oysters are further improved by sections of lemon or sprigs of mint among the cracked ice. A finger bowl should always have a few flowers or a leaf floating on its surface. Grape fruit may have moraschino cherries in the center and be placed on a plate wreathed with some vine. Sausage Candy. One-half pound grated sweet chocolate and an inch square of bitter chocolate. Six tablespoonfuls of sugar, a little less than one-quarter pound of almonds cut up into small pieces to represent fat specks. Two whites of eggs beaten to a stiff froth; vanilla. Put whites of eggs in a pan on stove, when warm put in chocolate, sugar and almonds, let boil up few minutes, take from stove and stir until cool, when stiff enough to handle put on board or paper and roll to form a sausage, roll now and then until cool to keep in shape and put granulated sugar on your board, which is to represent the skin. Let stand long enough to harden and then cut with a sharp knife like sausage. When you are making bread take one cupful of the sponge, a large cupful of sugar, one cupful of raisins and dates, one cupful of currants, and figs and citron, one cupful of flour, one-half cupful of butter, two eggs. Mix all together, with the sponge. One teaspoonful of soda dissolved in one tablespoonful of hot water, one teaspoonful of cloves, one teaspoonful of cinnamon. Put in pan to bake and let it raise for two hours. This cake will not hurt the most delicate of stomachs. Try it. Peach Dumplings. Take one cupful of flour, one teaspoonful of baking powder, one teaspoonful of butter; mix with a little milk and drop from teaspoon into hot syrup; cover and boil ten minutes and serve with whipped cream.

SEMI-CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION Emancipation celebrations, as a general thing, have degenerated into mere recollections. But, with the calling on President Taft a few months ago by Dr. Booker Washington for the purpose of laying before him the proposed Semi-Centennial Celebration of Emancipation, to be held in 1913, new interest is aroused. The plan as projected by the great wizard of Tuskegee has much in its proper development and carrying out that will be of especial interest to the world at large and the Negro in particular. It will be the first great international object lesson. It will be the first real collection of the facts concerning the race in a concrete manner, that all the world may come, see, and judge of the possibilities of a people after fifty years of trial. Just as it should, and as all good movements will, this Semi-Centennial is attracting wide attention and receiving favorable comment from all classes. No public gathering of people of our race, wheresoever gathered together, adjourns without reporting favorably on the project and promising enthusiastic support. It was gratifying to note the action of the Colored Womans' Federation of Clubs meeting in St. Louis a few days ago. Likewise the action of the Arkansas Negro Teachers. Out here in the West much can be done in the way of developing a favorable public sentiment. At this early stage, we can do much. Our Congressmen and Senators should be seen and urged to favor a liberal appropriation. We should begin to think now of those whom we would desire to represent our states, being careful to select only such men and women as are competent to do most for the race. While the projected celebration will be held in the South, all the country is interested. We, of the West, came from the South. We have been doing our best to help in the racial uplift. And the proper compiling of the facts and the collection of evidences of progress and thrift is no small undertaking. In the mining of the West our people have played no small part, and the record of our achievements in all lines will be a large contribution to an object lesson, calculated to amaze the other fellow. The great sin of our race is our petty jealousy. It grows out of the idea "that all coons look alike," and are alike in habits and disposition. This idea is fanned every day by the white people with whom we come in contact. The average white man preaches the doctrine that the crap shooter and dark "nympdu pave" belong in the same class with the hard working and honest man and woman of our race, whose efforts are upward and onward. There is the differences among our people just the same as among the white, and we have got to recognize them and lend our best efforts to the uplifting of the honest and industrious. We must be broad and charitable in all that we do, seeking ever to instill the idea of appreciation of the honest efforts of those who lift themselves by their bootstraps above natal conditions. In this way we multiply avenues of employment for the people of our own race. When we can have business houses like the other race, employing our boys and girls, we will have made a long step in the solution of the problem. This cannot be accomplished by carrying your trade to the business houses of other races, but only by keeping as much of your earnings as possible among your own people. The white man is trying every day to corral ON BEING JEALOUS. $2.00 1.00 .60 IN ADVANCE.

Just now we hear much about municipal ownership of public utilities, and as a general proposition it's a vague matter to us. And if understood clearly, one is much befuddled by the charges and counter-charges of the Water company's advocates and opponents. So far as the Negro in Denver is concerned, he is vitally interested in any movement which will reduce his expense of living. This paper has been especially liberal in allowing full and free discussion of all phases of the water question in order that our readers might be in a position to vote intelligently. There seems to be some who would exaggerate the position of the Water company and distort its attitude into a deliberate attempt to rob the people. The men interested in the Water Company are those who have made Denver and largely contributed to the growth and development of Colorado. They are simply asking the price agreed upon by the appraisers. The hue and cry about building another plant cheaper is rot. Just watch the fellow crying "thief!" The old year hath come and gone and left with us its gift of another harvest, each one hath garnered his or her share of the golden grain, of weeds, of wild oats, of deeds, and experience. But now the planting time returneth, we, as Negroes, want to choose well the field, work it with energy, determination and confidence, water it with faith, and sow with a right good will. For this year is thine and mine, and we are going to make use of every golden moment—we as men are going to devote more time to the upbuilding of the Negro race. We, as women, are going to be more tactful, conscientious, less slanderous, and withal, to read more and to do good and speak well of everybody. We, as ministers, will be more dignified when meeting ladies—not only simply bow, but raise or lift the hat. We, as little girls, are going to conde more in our mothers, in order that they can keep "their little feet" in a straight path. We, as boys, are not going to congregate in front of edificees, making remarks about every one who comes from within. We, as Christians, are going to live a more upright life, practice neither deception nor hypocrisy, with both saints and sinners. We, as Negro men, holding more than one position, will divide with our fellow man, so that he can also live. We, as Negro men and women, who were so untidy last year, are going to take more pride in our personal appearance. During this year's harvest, whether the grain be great or small, if here and there thou droppest a human kindness, thy labor shall not have been in vain. It beseems the man, woman or child to pay no attention to malice, but to run straight for the goal, without looking to the right or the left. "Poo! Mrs. Mixem has good intentions, but she certainly does make some bad breaks when she undertakes to give good advice." "What has she been saying now?" "She told one young fellow in her class who is as cross-eyed as he can be to look straight ahead in life, and another, who has lost both his legs, to be careful and always but his best foot forwards." FOR THE NEW YEAR. By Carrie P. Douglass. At Cross Purposes OR the past 10 or 15 years our attention has been constantly called to the coming of "yellow peril." But this alarm, as far as China is concerned at least, is absolutely without foundation. Since I came to this country I have often heard the vast area and the immense population of my country talked about by my American hosts and I have time and again been confronted with the traditional remark that "If China should wake up and fight there would be little chance for the rest of the world." It is true that China is waking up very quickly; it is also true that if China, with her inherent strength fully developed, had the world empire ambition of Peter the Great of Russia there might be danger of a reproduction of the Napoleonic wars in the twentieth century. But the fact is that China will not fight against the world or against any particular country, unless of course war is forced upon her. She has no desire for further territorial acquisition, because her possession is already very large. War is against the instincts and characteristics of the Chinese people as a race. Their religion and philosophy work together to make the most peace-loving people in the world. There is nothing that Confucianism condemns more than the doctrine of "might against right." Indeed, it is against the Chinese idea of chivalry even to display one's own strength, so as to humiliate the weakness of others. This conclusion is not drawn from mere theories out of the writer's head, but is supported by a careful research into the 5,000 years' history of the celestial empire. In this long period not a single person can be found who can stand with Alexander the Great, Caesar or Napoleon, except possibly Khublai Khan, who was a Mongol and not a Chinese. You can find no expeditions sent out to conquer the outside world. In the course of the next 50 years it is safe to predict that China will be the industrial and commercial center of the world. With the interests of industry and commerce at stake no country can afford to talk about war. Indeed, if such a peace-loving country as China shall attain its rightful position in the family of nations, the United States will find a strong comrade in advocating international peace. times later, without extra pay or time to go out for something to eat. My daughter's friend was expected at our house on Sunday, November 28, but she did not come. My daughter found out later by investigating that just as her friend was leaving the store at 8:10 p. m. on Saturday evening one of the petty division managers had stepped up to her and said: "Report for work to-morrow at 8 a. m." My daughter's friend nearly fainted, for she knew that if she remained away from that Sunday work on the excuse that she was sick or physically unable she would lose her place, just as others had done. She put in eight hours marking goods on Sunday and worked four days that same week until eight o'clock in the evening. All for $3 a week and commissions.

We have known of the hookworm for quite a while in Australia. The hookworm is a pest known only to the northern part of Australia. It flourishes in the state of Queensland, which has an exceedingly hot climate and I have never heard of it in other portions of our country. In Queensland its victims are a class of shiftless persons who are addicted to the bad habit of eating dirt. A hookworm patient is invariably a dirt-eater and the ailment is known as the "earth-eating disease." It has the same baneful influence as is ves; the one affe hed and his aver atures eat the ea result instead of together.

Havana, Jan. 3.—A strong race feeling has been engendered by the trouble which arose last night at the Hotel Plaza, an American house, over the refusal of the bartender to serve drinks to two Negro congressmen. This resulted in a riot which, although no one was seriously injured, made necessary the calling out of police reserves. Today the clerk of the hotel was arraigned in the corrections court and fined $70. An enormous crowd of Negroes, including a strong representation of the Veterans' association, attended the trial and demanded exemplary punishment on account of the Insult to the colored race. Senor Morua Delgado, president of the senate and leader of the Negro element, conducted the prosecution and insisted upon the extreme penalty, which is a fine of $1,000 and six months in jail. The decision of the court to inflict a minor penalty was greeted with strong expressions of disapproval. After the adjournment of the court, the two Negro congressmen, heading a procession of 400 Negroes, marched to the hotel, crying "Viva Maceo La Patria." They entered the bar and demanded drinks, which were served with no further protest. The incident has caused much excitement and there are grave fears of a serious race clash. Many Cubans are sympathizing with the attitude of the American hotel management, but tonight a strong guard of police has been kept about the place. FANTASTIC STONE ON GRAVE. Remarkable Memorial Erected by Father in Memory of Daughter He Idolized. In all the cemeteries of the world there probably exists no more fantastic conception than in the rural graveyard of Pleasant Ridge, in England. To the memory of a daughter whom he idolized, Hannibal Clark, a wealthy but simple-minded farmer, erected this remarkable shaft of granite. He was so affected by her death that he survived but a short time after he had made provision for the erection of the monument. Not only did he stipulate what he wished engraved concerning his daughter, but also concerning his wife and himself. It was the freakish desire of the father to place upon the monument a replica of all that the girl loved on earth. He left instructions that no expense be spared to inscribe upon the stone a miniature reproduction of the objects upon which she lavished her affections. In obedience thereto, the stonemasons chiseled in bold relief no fewer than fifty symbols. Nearly every inch of space is taken up with these queer figures. They include a house, fence, plow, grain, cradle, rooster, hen, turkey, cow, horse, side-saddle, pair of scissors, thimble, violin, copies of love letters, owl, fish, etc. Everything that appertained to the farm, domestic life and outdoor pleasures was, where possible, reproduced upon this monument. Before and After. Impatient Husband (at foot of stairway)—For heaven's sake, Maria, how much longer is it going to take you to get ready? I've been waiting 40 minutes for you. His Wife (upstairs)—Before we were married, John, you used to say you would be willing to wait 40 years for me if necessary. (Impatient husband mutters something under his breath to the effect that he has more sense now than he had then, but makes no audible reoinder.) Cutting Table. Of great importance to a correct working pattern is the right sort of cutting table. The lap-board and ordinary sewing table are but sorry make-shifts for the laying up of skirt widths. Not a bit better is the bed, which is so often used for the purpose. A kitchen table, if long and wide, answers the purpose admirably. Its soft pine top permits the use of thumbtacks to hold both material and patterns immovable, or weights may be used. Mrs. A. M. Ward is importing, but very slowly.

New Year's Sunday brought a magnificent congregation of worshippers to the services all day. At 11:00 a. m. the pastor delivered his New Year's sermon, on making room for Christ, and administered the sacrament of the Lord's Supper to an unusually large number for a monthly communion. In the evening Rev. J. C. C. Owens, D. D., delivered a very practical sermon, which brought forth many complimentary remarks from the audience. This was a Carnation service, conducted by the lady ushers of the church, who presented everyone attending with a beautiful carnation. Mrs. Charles West, acting president. At the close of the services the pastor was completely surprised when Mrs. E. M. Reeves came forward and on behalf of the Club, in well chosen words, presented him with a neat purse and a hearty "God Speed."

DENVER, COLORADO At the National Capital How to Address Government Officials Nagel's Department Caused Commotion Nagel's Department Caused Commotion Taft Baffles the Secret Service Men Taft Baffles the Secret Service Men Three Cornered Jar for Weather Man TITLE DOPE BOOK WASHINGTON.—Most people on coming to Washington for the first time and about to meet a public official are greatly perplexed as to the form in which they shall address him. Naturally uniformity is desired in this respect by all government officials and for that reason there is an established manner in which to greet public officials with whom one may come in contact. The social code which governs social intercourse in the official set in the national capital supplies a prescribed form which it is necessary to follow if one would be correct in his dealings with officials, whether of a social or a business nature. There are some titled officials in the army and navy who are granted a higher rank socially by courtesy than they are actually entitled to. For instance, lieutenant commanders in the navy are, by courtesy, in social life called commanders, while those below that rank lose thier official title and are addressed as plain "Mister." The same rule applies to the staff officers of the navy. Likewise the assistant secretaries of executive departments are called "Mister." and the reason for this is obvious. It is not an easy matter to introduce a naval officer by the long and harsh-sounding title of "lieutenant-commander," or to refer to the first lieutenant of an executive department as "Mr. Assistant Secretary," while it would be more THERE was a commotion, almost consternation, in the state department a short time ago when the energetic and active Assistant Secretary McHarg of the department of commerce and labor went over and talked United States statutes against international law in the department. There was Assistant Secretary Adee, who is so steeped in international law that it exudes from every pore, and Solicitor Hoyt, who has been so long a legal adviser of the government that he knows everything in the way of law that ever pertains to the United States, and Commissioner of Navigation Chamberlain, who has been studying navigation interests ever since the first part of Cleveland's last term. Into this gathering came McHarg in his forceful manner, and remarked PRESIDENT TAFT has thrown a bombshell into the ranks of that portion of the secret service which is assigned to the duty of protecting the chief executive of the nation from assassination. It is a soft job for the secret service men and often leads to something better, several of those who formerly guarded presidents now holding government positions that pay well and make the holder a man of some consequence in his home territory. It is feared among Chief Wilkie's men that some of them will have to be looking for other jobs if the president continues to go out for long walks through the busiest streets of Washington unprotected. The president has "had the laugh" on several of the sleuths recently when, without mak- "FUNNY organization, this weather bureau of ours!" exclaimed a member of a group of four in the smoking compartment of a Pennsylvania train bound east from Chicago. "I see it predicts general rains for today," and he held the paper sideways to dodge the glare of a brilliant Indian summer sun. "Yes," said the man on the sofa. "I always take my rain coat when they promise fair weather and wear a Incorrect to address him as "Mr. Secretary," which title is reserved for his chief. Likewise it is decidedly bad form to address or speak of the wife of any public official including the title of her husband. The wife of the president is always addressed as Mrs. Taft, for instance, and not as "Ms. President;" nor is the wife of a senator "Mrs. Senator Black;" nor the wife of an army official "Mrs. Gen. Blank." Such women in Washington are known and addressed as "Mrs. Blank." A list of titles which it is proper to use in Washington in personal intercourse is as follows: The president—"Mr. President;" The vice-president—"Mr. Vice-President" Members of the cabinet— Members of the cabinet Secretaries of state, treasury, war, navy, interior, agriculture and commerce and labor—"Mr. Secretary." The attorney general—"Mr. Attorney General." The postmaster general—"Mr. Postmaster General." An ambassador—"Mr. Ambassador," or "Your Excellency." A minister—"Mr. Minister." All other members of the diplomatic corps, unless they have titles—"Mr. ——" The chief justice of the supreme court—"Mr. Chief Justice." Associate justices—"Mr. Justice." United States senator—"Senator." General senator general, brigadier general—"General." Colonel and lieutenant colonel—"Colonel." Majors and captains are given their respective titles. All officers of the rank below the line of captain are addressed as "Mr. —." Officers of the medical department below the rank of captain are addressed as "Doctor." Admiral and rear admiral—"Admiral." Commanders, captains and commanders are addressed by their respective titles. Recently the state department has promulgated an order that all correspondence addressed to the secretary of state shall read, "The Honorable, The Secretary of State." that his department had decide to let the ships plying between the United States and Central and South American ports clear for their destinations. Tomes of international law were brought forth and diplomatic etiquette produced and quoted to show that it invited grave international complications if American ships should sail from our ports during internecine conflicts and insurgent movements in the Central American states. Then McHarg brought out the statutes of the United States and showed that the collectors of customs would be subject to damages if they held these ships when there was no state of war existing in any of the countries, but simply little insurrections. He told the officials of the state department that he didn't want to embarrass thier diplomacy, but the department of commerce and labor had decided to let the ships have their clearance papers. That was what happened. Up to the present time no one has heard of the wreck or ruin of the diplomacy that exists between the government of the United States and those of the Central American States. ing any announcement of his intentions, he left the White House and started out for a walk. Generally he has been accompanied by some cabinet official, but none of Wilkie's men was along. On his last walk the president was accompanied by his brother, Charles P. Taft, the millionaire Cincinnatiian. They walked up to the capitol and strolled through its wide halls. So far as runs the memory of Alonzo Stewart, deputy sergeant at arms of the senate, and that is a full generation, it was the first time that a president has visited the capitol on the Sabbath day. On another occasion the president walked through Pennsylvania avenue, Washington's most prominent business street. He was wearing a sack coat and a gray sweater. "That looks like President Taft," remarked one man as President Taft passed the five-cent theaters on the avenue. Brig. Gen. Clarence Edwards, who was with the president, giggled and the president smiled. Mr. Taft did not look much like himself in his sack coat with sweater underneath. panama if they say it's going to snow." "At my home," interjected the third member of the group, "my wife has a standing order with our confectioner to send up ice cream whenever he sees the cold wave flag flying." The mild-looking man with the twinkling brown eyes said nothing. They were all strangers to one another. The three who had spoken were on thier way to New York. At Harrisburg the mild man with the brown eyes arose, gathered up his baggage and, bowing to the group, produced three visiting cards. He distributed them and, smiling, took an abrupt departure. Then the others looked at the cards. They read: "Willis L. Moore, Chief of the Weather Bureau, Washington, D. C." Don't Weep At Increased Price of Elk Teeth. "During the last five years the value of elk teeth has more than trebled," said a western traveler at the Frederic, according to the St. Paul Dispatch. "In 1904 you could get any number of fine specimens in Idaho, Montana, Washington and bordering states for $2.50 apiece. Now you will pay from $7.50 to $10, and they are hard to get for even that. The Apache, Sioux, Comanche and Chippewa Indians used to have dozens of them in their possession and traded them for trinkets. But the redskin got wise to their value, and you can buy them from a regular dealer cheaper now than from the Indian. The passing of the elk and the great demand made by the members of the Elk lodge for teeth for emblems have boosted the price." The traveler recited an incident of an Oklahoman who bought a robe covered with elk teeth from a Wichita Indian for $100. He cut off the teeth and cleaned up $2,200 on the deal. A Drama on the Street. A remarkable coincidence occurred at San Bernardino, Cal., one day later, whereby a couple about to be divorced were happily brought together again. Mrs. Walter Preston was on her way to the court to secure a divorce against her husband when her little daughter darted in the path of an onrushing motor car. The mother's screams attracted the attention of a man who dashed in front of the machine, seized the little girl and leaped to safety as the automobile shot by. The rescuer proved to be the husband and father. Explanations were soon made, and the two made their way to the attorney's office, where Mrs. Preston tore up the divorce complaint. Some people swell up on "emotion" brewed from absolute untruth. It's an old trick of the leaders of the Labor Trust to twist facts and make the "sympathetic ones" "weep at the ice house." (That's part of the tale further on.) Gompers et al sneer at, spit upon and defy our courts, seeking sympathy by falsely telling the people the courts were trying to deprive them of free speech and free press. Men can speak freely and print opinions freely in this country and no court will object, but they cannot be allowed to print matter as part of a criminal conspiracy to injure and ruin other citizens. Gompers and his trust associates started out to ruin the Bucks Stove Co., drive its hundreds of workmen out of work and destroy the value of the plant without regard to the fact that hard earned money of men who worked, had been invested there. The conspirators were told by the courts to stop these vicious "trust" methods, (efforts to break the firm that won't come under trust rule), but instead of stopping they "dare" the courts to punish them and demand new laws to protect them in such destructive and tyrannical acts as they may desire to do. * * * * The reason Gompers and his band persisted in trying to ruin the Bucks Stove Works was because the stove company insisted on the right to keep some old employees at work when "de union" ordered them discharged and some of "de gang" put on. Now let us reverse the conditions and have a look. Suppose the company had ordered the union to dismiss certain men from their union, and, the demand being refused, should institute a boycott against that union, publish its name in an "unfair list," instruct other manufacturers all over the United States not to buy the labor of that union, have committees call at stores and threaten to boycott if the merchants sold anything made by that union. Picket the factories where members work and slug them on the way home, blow up their houses and wreck the works, and even murder a few members of the boycotted union to teach tuem they must obey the orders of "organized Capital?" It would certainly be fair for the company to do these things if lawful for the Labor Trust to do them. In such a case, under our laws the boycotten union could apply to our courts and the courts would order the company to cease boycotting and trying to ruin these union men. Suppose thereupon the company should sneer at the court and in open defiance continue the unlawful acts in a persistent, carefully laid out plan, purposely intended to ruin the union and force its members into poverty What a howl would go up from the union demanding that the courts protect them and punish their law-breaking oppressors. Then they would praise the courts and go on earning a living protected from ruin and happy in the knowledge that the people's courts could defend them. How could any of us receive protection from law-breakers unless the courts have power to, and do punish such men? The court is placed in position where it must do one thing or the other—punish men who persist in defying its peace orders or go out of service, let anarchy reign, and the more powerful destroy the weaker. Peaceful citizens sustain the courts as their defenders, whereas thieves, forgers, burglars, crooks of all kinds and violent members of labor unions, hate them and threaten violence if their members are punished for breaking the law. They want the courts to let them go free and at the same time demand punishment for other men "outside de union" when they break the law. * * * Notice the above reference to "violent" members of labor unions.

The noisy, violent ones get into office and the leaders of the great Labor Trust know how to mass this kind of men, in labor conventions and thus carry out the leaders' schemes, frequently abhorrent to the rank and file; so it was at the late Toronto convention. The paid delegates would applaud and "resolute" as Gompers wanted, but now and then some of the real workingmen insist on being heard, sometimes at the risk of their lives. Delegate Egan is reported to have said at the Toronto convention; "If the officers of the federation would only adhere to the law we would think a lot more of them." The Grand Council of the Provincial Workingmen's Ass'n of Canada has declared in favor of severing all connections with unions in the U. S., saying "any union having its seat of Gov't in America, and pretending to be international in its scope, must fight industrial battles according to American methods. Said methods have consequences which are abhorrent to the law-abiding people of Canada involving hunger, misery, riot, bloodshed and murder, all of which might be termed as a result of the practical war now in progress in our fair provinces and directed by foreign emissaries of the United Miners of America." That is an honest Canadian view of our infamous "Labor Trust." A few days ago the daily papers printed the following: (By the Associated Press.) Washington, D. C., Nov. 10.—Characterizing the attitude of Samuel Gompers, John Mitchell and Frank Morrison of the American Federation of Labor in the contempt proceedings in the courts of the District of Columbia, in connection with the Bucks' Stove and range company, as "a willful, premeditated violation of the law," Simon Burns, general master workman of the general assembly, Knights of Labor, has voiced a severe condemnation of these three leaders. Mr. Burns expressed his confidence in courts in general and in those of the District of Columbia in particular. APPROVED BY DELEGATES. This rebuke by Burns was in his annual report to the general assembly of his organization. He received the hearty approval of the delegates who heard it read at their annual meeting in this city. "There is no trust or combination of capital in the world," said Mr. Burns, "that violates laws of other than do the trust labor organizations, which resort to more dishonest, unfair and dishonorable methods toward their competitors than any trust or combinations in the country." Mr. Burns said the action of "these so-called leaders" would be harmful for years to come whenever attempts were made to obtain labor legislation. "The Labor Digest," a reputable workingman's paper, says, as part of an article entitled "The beginning of the end of Gompersism, many organizations becoming tired of the rule-orruin policies which have been enforced by the president of the A. F. of L." "That he has maintained his leadership for so long a time in the face of his stubborn clinging to policies which the more thoughtful workingmen have seen for years must be abandoned, has been on account partly of the sentimental feeling on the part of the organizations that he ought not to be deposed, and the unwillingness of the men who were mentioned for the place, to accept a nomination in opposition to him. In addition to this, there is no denying the shrewdness of the leader of the A. F. of L., and his political sagacity, which has enabled him to keep a firm grip on the machinery of the organization, and to have his faithful hemenchin in the positions where they could do him the most good whenever their services might be needed. "Further than this, he has never failed, at the last conventions, to have some sensation to spring on the convention at the psychological moment, which would place him in the light of a martyr to the cause of unionism, and Knowledge Enough. At the moment of their fall Adam and Eve, being innocent, were used to doing things in an unconscious manner. That is to say, they didn't Fletcherize.

If you see a fault in others, think of two of your own, and do not add a third one by your hasty judgment. excite a wave of sympathetic enthusiasm for him, which would carry the delegates off their feet, and result in his re-election. "That his long leadership, and this apparent impossibility to fill his place has gone to his head, and made him imagine that he is much greater a man than he really is, is undoubtedly the case, and accounts for the tactics he has adopted in dealing with questions before congress, where he has unnecessarily antagonized men to whom organized labor must look for recognition of their demands, and where labor measures are often opposed on account of this very antagonism, which would otherwise receive support. "There is no doubt but what organized labor in this country would be much stronger with a leader who was more in touch with conditions as they actually exist, and who would bring to the front the new policies which organized labor must adopt if it expects to even maintain its present standing, to say nothing of making future progress." We quote portions of another article, a reprint, from the same labor paper: "Organized labor, through its leaders, must recognize the mistakes of the past if they expect to perpetuate their organizations or to develop the movement which they head. No movement, no organization, no nation can develop beyond the intellects which guide these organizations, and if the leaders are dominated by a selfish motive the organization will become tinged with a spirit of selfishness, which has never appealed to mankind in any walk of life at any time since history began. "It can be said in extenuation of certain leaders of organized labor that the precarious position which they occupy as leaders has had a tendency to cause them to lose sight of the object behind the organization. The natural instinct in man for power and position is in no small measure responsible for the mistakes of the leaders, not necessarily in labor unions alone, but in every branch of society. This desire for power and leadership and personal aggrandizement causes men who have been earnest and sincere in their efforts in the start to deteriorate into mere politicians whose every act and utterance is tinged with the desire to cater to the baser passions of the working majority in the societies or organizations and this is undoubtedly true when applied to the present leaders of the Federation of Labor. We mention the Federation of Labor particularly in this article, because that organization is the only organization of labor which has yet found itself in direct opposition to the laws of the land. There are other organizations of labor whose leaders have made mistakes, but they have always kept themselves and their organizations within the bounds of the law and respected the rights of every other man in considering the rights of themselves and their constituency; whereas, the motto of the Federation is just the reverse, and unless the leaders conform themselves and their organization in accordance with the laws of the land, the leaders and the organization itself must be disintegrated and pass into history, for in America the common sense of mankind is developed to a greater extent than in any other nation on the earth, and the people, who are the court of last resort in this country, will never allow any system to develop in this country which does not meet with the approval of the majority of the citizens of the country. "This must have forced itself upon the leaders of the Federation by this time. If it has not, the leaders must be eliminated. The organization which they head has done many meritorious things in times past and the people are always ready and willing to acknowledge the benefits which their efforts have brought to their constituency as a whole, but at the present time labor organizations in general, and the Federation of Labor in particular, stand before the bar of public opinion, having been convicted of selfishness and a disposition to rule all the people of the country in the interest of the few. The people are patient and awaiting to In an interview published in the Kieler Neueste Nachrichten, Grossadmiral von Koster says many interesting things about his visit to New York, among them the following: "In the absence of President Taft, who was away on a trip to the Mexican frontier, the place of honor was taken by the vice-president of the United States, Secretary of State Sherman of New York." Sorry He Spoke. Mr. Dubbs (with newspaper)—It tells here, my dear, how a progressive New York woman makes her social calls by telephone. Mrs. Dubbs—Progressive. Huh! She's probably like me, not a decent thing to wear—Boston Transcript. Taking No Chances. Griggs—Odd that these doctors can't prescribe for themselves. There's Cuttem just gone to another physician to be treated. Briggs—That's where he is wise. Cuttem knows how few of his patients recover. Mistakes Will Happen. Lady (to her sister, a doctor)—There—I cooked a meal for the first time to-day and I made a mess of it. "Well, dear, never mind; it's nothing. I lost my first patient." Where Pepys Won Fame. "Who was this fellow Pepys, and what is his claim to fame?" "His claim to fame is well founded, my friend. He's the man who kept a diary for more than a year." Happiness in marriage would be more prevalent if a man would handle his wife as tenderly and carefully as he does an old briar pipe. see if the object lesson which they have been forced to give to these leaders is going to be recognized and if they are going to conform themselves and their future work and actions in accordance thereto." Let the people remember that comment, "T. Federation of Labor in particular stands before the bar of public opinion having been convicted of selfishness and a disposition to rule all the people of the country in the interest of the few." The great 90 per cent of Americans do not take kindly to the acts of tyranny of these trust leaders openly demanding that all people bow down to the rules of the Labor Trust and we are treated to the humiliating spectacle of our Congress and even the Chief Executive entertaining these convicted law-breakers and listening with consideration to their insolent demands that the very laws be changed to allow them to safely carry on their plan of gaining control over the affairs of the people. The sturdy workers of America have come to know the truth about these "martyrs sacrificing themselves in the noble cause of labor" but it's only the hysterical ones who swell up and cry over the aforesaid "heroes," reminding one of the two romantic elderly malds who, weeping copiously, were discovered by the old janitor at Mt. Vernon. "What is it ails you ladies?" Taking the handkerchief from one swollen red eye, between sobs she said: "Why we have so long revered the memory of George Washington that we feel it a privilege to come here and weep at his tomb." "Yas'm, yas'm, yo' shore has a desire to express yo' sympathy but yo' are overflowin' at de wrong spot, yo' is weepin' at de ice house." Don't get maudlin about law-breakers who must be punished if the very existence of our people is to be maintained. If you have any surplus sympathy it can be extended to the honest workers who continue to earn food when threatened and are frequently hurt and sometimes killed before the courts can intervene to protect them. Now the Labor Trust leaders demand of Congress that the courts be stripped of power to issue injunctions to prevent them from assaulting or perhaps murdering men who dare earn a living when ordered by the Labor Trust to quit work. Don't "weep at the Ice House" and don't permit any set of law-breakers to bully our courts, if your voice and vote can prevent. Be sure and write your Representatives and Senators in Congress asking them not to vote for any measure to prevent the courts from protecting homes, property and persons from attack by paid agents of this great Labor Trust. Let every reader write, and write now. Don't sit silent and allow the organized and paid men of this great trust to force Congress to believe they represent the great masses of the American people. Say your say and let your representatives in Congress know that you do not want to be governed under new laws which would empower the Labor Trust leaders with legal right to tell you when to work, Whereal For whom! At what price! What to buy! What not to buy! Whom to vote for! How much you shall pay per month in fees to the Labor Trust! etc., etc., etc. This power is now being demanded by the passage of laws in Congress. Tell your Senators and Representatives plainly that you don't want them to vote for any measure that will allow any set of men either representing Capital or Labor to govern and dictate to the common people, who prefer to be free to go and come, work or not and vote for whom they please. Every man's liberty will disappear when the leaders of the great Labor Trust or any other trust can ride rough shod over people and mass their forces to prevent our courts from affording protection.

He could neither sit still nor lie quietly in bed, for the itching was dreadful. He would irritate spots by scratching with his nails and that only made them worse. A doctor treated him and we tried almost everything, but the eczema seemed to spread. It started in a small place on the lower extremities and spread for two years until it very nearly covered the back part of his leg to the knee. “Finally I got Cuticura Soap, Cutl- cura Ointment and Cuticura Pilis and gave them according to directions. I used them in the morning and that evening, before I put my boy to bed, I used them again and the improve- ment even in those few hours was sur- prising, the inflammation seemed to beso much less. I used two boxes of Cuticura Ointment, the same of the Pills and the Soap and my boy was cured. My son is now in his sev- enteenth year and he has never had a return of the eczema. “I took care of a friend's child that had eczema on its face and limbs and I used the Cuticura Soap and Ointment. They acted on the child just as they did on my son and it has never re- turned. I would recommend the Cutt. cura Remedies to anyone. Mrs. A. J.

BUILT UP GREAT BUSINESS Frederick Mayer Boot and Shoe Com- pany a Monument to German Thrift and Industry. That the key to real business success is often based on a sound principle, rather than money, is best illustrated by’ the re- production, of the following biographical sketch of Frederick Mayer, founder of the F, Mayer Boot & Shoe Gompany, repro- duced” from an issue of the German American National Alliance: Frederick ' Mayer, founder of the, fae tories at Milwaukee’ and Seattle now bear- ing his name, came to this country from Niernstein, Hessen Darmstadt, in May, IS51, and immediatel: proceeded’ to Milwaw: kee,’ Wisconsin, where he entered the em- ploy of R.

Easily Explained. Mr, Swainson is a powerful preach: er, but is never above leavening his sermons with humor. A good story he tells concerns a visit once paid to the cottage of one of his parishioners. It was early spring and for a long time he sat by the window with the woman's little girl. “Tn looking out,” he remarked to the child, “do you notice how bright is the green of the leaves and grass?” The little girl nodded. “Now tell me why does it appear so much brighter at this time?” Mr. Swainson asked. “Cos,” was the unexpected reply, “ma'’s just washed the window and you can see out better.” fae ee ae Among the patients in a certain hos- pital of Harrisburg there was recently one disposed to take a dark view of his chances for recovery. “Cheer up, old man!” admonished the youthful medico attached to the ward wherein the patient lay. “Your symptoms are identical with those of my own case four years ago. I was just as sick as you are. Look at me now!” ‘The patient ran his eyes over the physician's stalwart frame. “What doctor did you have?” he finally asked, feebly.—Ilustrated Sunday Magazine.

New York, Dec. 27.—In answer to the sermon preached a week ago, "Can Jeffries Come Back?" by the Rev John Hamilton Timbrell of Cedar Cliff, N. J. the Rev. R. C. Ransom, pastor of the African Methodist Episcopal Bethel church, 239 West Twenty Fifth street, took up the cudgels in behalf of Jack Johnson, the pugilist of his own race, asking: "Is the white brute any better than the black brute?" He answered: "The white folks seem to think that it's necessary for a white man to beat Johnson to regain the white supremacy. But Jack Johnson isn't worrying about the black supremacy. He's simply to thrash any man in the world, regardless of his color. This is an insignificant incident in the great fight our people are beginning with the whole world to gain recognition. As a scat for national Negro associations, Chicago is running a close second to Washington, and like the latter, its nation-wide organizations are confined in what little influence they possess to the few who compose them.

NEW NAMES FOR OLD COLORS Favorites of Other Seasons Come Before Us Now Charmingly Designed. It is not easy to name a new color, and there is a curious fashion in such matters that is entirely controlled by the great fashion makers who direct the vagaries of "La Mode" in Paris and Vienna. There is a tendency in the nomenclature of this season's novelties in color to describe more or less accurately the color named which is a decided assistance in choosing one's tints. WEDDING FASHIONS CHANGE Parisians Forsake Tradition and Give Their Sanction to Some Decided Innovations. In Paris some very notable changes have taken place with regard to wedding fashions. One of these is the color chosen for the dress of a bride's mother at a daughter's wedding. For saking the traditional gray or mauve, salmon pink is now as often selected as any other. At a recent wedding en societe the mother of the bride wore a beautiful gown of salmon pink charmeuse, veiled with mousseline de soie, the overdress being richly em For instance, the new brown is called caramel, and lichen green tells its own story. No so easy to guess at is the hue named aeroplane. We find it to be a subtle gray green with a tinge of blue in it. Wearied of elephant gray, this year some such shade is known as mammoth—and Thames gray. Cresson, as one expects, is rather a dark full green, and malachite explains itself, a color, by the way, to be used with great discretion unless the skin of the wearer be of milk and roses. Burgundian indicates a range of red wine colorings, and rhubarb, one of the favorites of the moment in Paris, is a light red with green tones. Who will deny the charm of a pretty name? Half the popularity of charmeuse satin lies in its soft texture; the other half in its seductive title. Effective Black Tulle Bow. The black tulle bow placed under the chin topping a white serge suit is exceedingly effective, whether the hat worn with such accessories is black or white. In either case I should prefer jet earrings. Sets of jet consisting of necklet, dog collar or festoon effect, earrings and hair garniture are specially attractive, and no doubt many women will wear them regardless of their becomingness. To my mind brown-haired women should not wear jet in their tresses. Fair hair and jet ornaments make a lovely combination. Gray-haired women may also indulge in jet ornaments. Summer Remnants Always Useful. Any number of charming articles may be fashioned from summer remnants. A sofa cushion offers an excellent illustration of what may be done with "scraps." It may be made of a remnant of white organdy left from a party dress, and lined, after a bunch of flowers cut from two small cretonne scraps have been appliqued, with buttonhole stitches of pink silkotine, with another remnant of white lawn. The three and a half inch-wide ruffle should be stitched with pink, and pink satin ribbon serves to fasten it. Care of Stockings. A buyer of hose in a large department store, speaking of the wear of stockings, informed me that if lisle and silk stockings are washed before worn they will wear longer. The reason given is that the slight shrinkage brings the threads closer together and there is then less danger of ravages from imperfect stitches in the weave, and incidentally a shoe man claims that tan shoes will give better service if they are given a coating of the shoe polish that comes prepared for tan shoes before being worn.-Philadelphia Ledger. Shoes with Tassels. Among the smart boots for this winter are those with patent leather vamps and uppers of varnished soft tan leather. At the top of the shoe, which is either buttoned or laced, is a turned overlap of leather, lined with satin, like the cuff on a coat sleeve. Smart silk tassels are also added to the top of the new shoes at the front. Parisians Forsake Tradition and Give Their Sanction to Some Decided Innovations. In Paris some very notable changes have taken place with regard to wedding fashions. One of these is the color chosen for the dress of a bride's mother at a daughter's wedding. Forsaking the traditional gray or mauve, salmon pink is now as often selected as any other. At a recent wedding en societe the mother of the bride wore a beautiful gown of salmon pink charmeuse, velled with mousseline de soie, the overdress being richly embroidered with steel beads. Another beautiful scheme for a wedding was a superbly cut princess frock of liberty satin in a soft shade of Nattler blue. This, which was richly embroidered in the same tone, was worn with a large hat of black panne, the feather cluster which adorned it being fastened in place with a handsome jeweled ornament of emeralds and diamonds. A This smart and practical coat looks well for either day or evening wear, if made up in light mole-colored face cloth. The braiding which forms the trimming is of the same color as the cloth. It is lined throughout with white cashmere satin. The buttons are of embroidered silk and mole-colored ribbon strings with tasseled ends form a handsome finish. Hat of mole-colored felt, trimmed with feathers. Materials required for the coat: Five yards 46 inches wide, five yards satin cashmere 42 inches wide. An extreme novelty is a combination garment of knickerbockers and princess chemise. The upper part fits the figure closely and has a double ruffle of lace, which falls in a cascade from the yoke almost to the waist line. The lower part of this garment is gathered into a band of lace and insertion at the knees, each being edged with a full ruffle of linen and lace. This entire combination is striped with insertion and lace. It is an attractive idea, which has been evolved from the silk bloomers of last season.
