REGISTRATION IS OVER. CONSIDER QUESTIONS NOW BEFORE THE PEOPLE. VOL. XVI. THE IN- SUI MUCH SCRAPPING IN WASH THE RACE. REGISTRAT QUESTIONS NOW BE THE INJUNCTION Much scrapping has been the order of the day over at Washington. When Speaker Cannon is not shaking a red rag at the insurgents, the insurgents are busy making eyes at the Democratic contingent, and fixing tacks in the Speaker's chair. In the meantime the Taft smile is kept expanded to the limit in the apparently vain hope of securing "administration" legislation, some of which was promised by the late Republican platform, while other came as a legacy from the late Roosevelt regime. Just at present very little has been accomplished. So little, in fact, that the outlook is rather embarrassing for the fall campaign. Anything that will in any way promise ultimate harmony is being welcomed. Very recently the American Academy of Political and Social Science held a meeting at the Capitol. It proved to be a warm gathering. Hon. Samuel Gompers, head of organized labor in America, was one of the speakers. In the course of his rather florid remarks on "The Injunction," he is quoted as saying: "When a court denies me the right to speak to a fellowman peaceably, I, with his consent, propose to speak with him notwithstanding." This is a most surprising remark to come from the head of organized labor. In it, he admits, FOR HIMSELF, the very things all laboring men ask and demand of either organized labor or capital. The Negro laborer is especially a sufferer from the peculiar injunction laid by the highest tribunal of organized labor. By it he is denied the privilege of becoming a union man. By its operation he is prevented learning trades and filling places within his ability. And above all, the man who wants to work is forcibly prevented doing so, by the force of the labor injunction, and it is not backed by the authority of any court. What organize! labor needs to do to be consistent is to invite all laborers to enjoy the benefits of the unions. To adopt the broad democracy of President Gompers, or by its narrow methods stamp its leaders as demagogues and liars. The Negro wants to work. Give him the equal chance of any other man and let him rise or fall on his merits. --- COURAGE In connection with a demand for better treatment of our men by organized labor and capital, The Colorado Statesman can not get away without reminding the men of our race that they have a duty to per- Two things seem to be the great drawbacks of the race—an over fondness for pleasure and too quickly giving up, a wholesome lack of courage to face the trials and difficulties of life. That our people have been entirely too much of a pleasure-loving people, who took no thought of the morrow, but seemed satisfied with a "little to eat" and plenty of the outer world. This seeming indifference to fate is rapidly giving away to a gradually deepening feeling of unrest and dissatisfaction. In meeting the opportunities of life and overcoming them requires courage of a high order. To lay aside the pleasures and dissolute habits of yesterday and take hold of the hard problems of today with a determination to win, means to the man a hard fight. There is plenty to do. If we will only get out and try, ALL can find something to do. It may not be just what we want, but if we will only have the courage to do WELL whatsoever our hands find to do, at the same time assuming the dignity of manhood and womanhood. Hard work well done is the keynote to the solution of the race problem. Right here in Colorado there is plenty of hard work to be had. There is plenty of chance for our people to find something out of which they can lay up a few treasures on earth and take chances on the thieves. THINKING ABOUT IT Now that the registration business is over, those who have their names written there may take time to consider the questions before the people. Denver will breathe easy when the multitude of questions are settled. The Water company, in spite of the hue and cry of the reformers, have played with their cards on the board. The people can, by a careful reading of the franchise asked for, understand just what they are voting. All these things mean much to the future growth of our city. We feel especially interested in the position the voters of our race will assume in contest. All our people are demanding is the chance to help carry on the work. When the time comes to spending the money to enlarge and beautify Denver, give our laborers a chance along with the Italian, the Greek and the Jap. Everyone should be interested in a bigger and better town. And the way to get it is to help the other fellow a little as you go up. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, APRIL 23 1910. State Hiat & Nat Hiat Society State Hiat this Paper ADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, TO OPERATE COTTON FACTORY Norfolk, Va., April 12.—A committee of five, consisting of Dr. J. J. France of Portsmouth, Va., Dr. G. Jarvis Bowens, Charles S. Carter, tailor; E. C. Brown, banker, and George M. King, met here at the Hotel Mt. Vernon a few days ago to complete an organization which has for its object the establishing of a Negro cotton factory with a 10,000-spindle mill. The $250,000 project claims Portsmouth Va., as its birthplace, and the promoter, George M. King, produced evidence which shows that the Negro now receives about $270,000 a year for the cotton he raises. It is believed by those who are interested in the organization that if the Negro should establish a sufficient No. of cotton factories to manufacture his cotton into course drill or duck cloth he would get $600,000,000 for it; while if it was spun and woven into cloth known to the trade as intermediate counts or print goods, this same cotton would be worth $900,000,000. Mr. King declared that the Negro mill owners could employ more men women and children in the manufacture of this cotton than there are Negroes in this country. Connected with the company is a young Negro of Portsmouth, Va., who will soon be given a degree by the Tuck School with Master of Commercial Science, who for two years has been manipulating a cotton cloth mill in the Seaconnet Mills of Fall River, Mass. HISTORIC BROWNSVILLE DOCUMENT. Basis Laid by Colored Lawyer for Fight to Be Made for "Black Battalion."—Basis for Marshall's Declination MAY IT PLEASE THE COURT: The oldest and strongest presumption known to the common law of England and adopted by our country as the most sacred and inviolable cornerstone of its criminal jurisprudence is the presumption in favor of innocence of crime. In a comparatively recent decision in Persons v. State, 90 Tenn., 291, it was held that no presumption in a criminal case can be allowed to operate against the presumption of innocence of the defendant. There are no decisions, federal or state, to the contrary; and my departure from this basic principle might well be regarded as alarmingly subversive of our system of government. I, therefore, decline to submit an argument to this court for two specific reasons: FIRST, because the procedure adopted by the recorder, and acquiesced in by this court, leaves it undetermined in my mind whether this court is a court of inquiry or a court-martial; or, in other words, whether the recorder is an impartial investigating officer or a prosecuting officer. Second, because the instructions of the secretary of war to this court conflict so fundamentally and totally with my legal --- training as to make it impossible for me to build an argument which would ATTEMPT TO PROVE A NEGATIVE. No Proof of Guilt of a Single Soldier. For these reasons I can neither argue nor can I appeal to your merciful consideration; for in all honor this honorable court is bound by the limitations imposed by the authority from which its instructions proceed. I can simply submit that the evidence before this court fails entirely to prove the guilt of a single soldier of Companies B, C and D, Twenty-fifth United States Infantry, discharged for alleged complicity in the shooting up of Brownsville, Texas, on the night of August 13-14, 1906. Records His Own Conviction There Is No Guilty Soldier. And in this connection I desire to record the fact that I have for over three years diligently and honestly striven to ferret out the persons engaged in this crime and that notwithstanding the fact that I have had close personal contact with nearly all the soldiers discharged as aforesaid, I have never adduced one else which might lead to the identification of a single soldier. On the contrary my investigations have tended to the conclusion that the shooting up of Brownsville was not an affray but a crime committed by persons not in the military service of the United States government. The record of this will show that I offered to produce testimony of an affirmative and positive character giving the names of the participators in, and the details of an alleged conspiracy to commit this crime. The record of this court will also show that no effort has been spared to produce before this court evidence, no matter how flimsy or circumstantial, which might in the slightest degree tend to demonstrate the guilt of the men who formerly defended the flag and honor of this, our common country. And yet I am not complaining for I have infinite faith in the judgment of a Divine Providence which, in the final analysis, holds for naught the judgments of mortal man, and scorns the sophistry that although the integral parts of a given body may be innocent, the whole must be guilty. "Truth crushed to earth shall rise again." N. B. MARSHALL, Washington, D. C. NEW BUILDING FOR CHRISTIANBURG SCHOOL Contract has recently been awarded for the erection of a brick building on the grounds of the Christiansburg Industrial Institute, Christiansburg, Virginia. This school is largely maintained by the Society of Friends of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The The building when completed, it is estimated will cost $30,000. Mr. E. A Long, the Principal, is a graduate of Tuskegee Institute and the majority of the teachers are from Tuskegee and Hampton Institutes. Within the past ten years the Christiansburg Institute has grown from a primary school, owning one building and a half acre of land worth about $5,000; into an industrial institute owning 185 acres of land with ten buildings—Tuskegee Student. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Mme. E. Azalia Hackley has arranged to present Miss Mary Fitzhugh in several Eastern cities, including New York, Baltimore and Philadelphia Boston, Mass., April 12.—Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute is named as one of the residuary legatees in the will of the late Miss Martha R. Hunt, and Tuskegee Institute is bequeathed $15,000. Miss Hunt died in Somerville, Mass., March 15, leaving nearly $800,000 in public bequests. James Ravenell, the Afro-American lad who took part in the 100-yard dash at he Poly meet of the High School of Commerce in Brooklyn recently, crossed the tape a winner, making the fastest run ever recorded in the history of the high school boys' meet. He is regarded as the future world's 100 yard champion runner. Cleveland, Ohio, April 12.—The bill introduced in the Legislature by the Hon. H. T. Eubanks, members from Cuyahoga County, compelling the sheriff of any county in Ohio to do his duty in case of mob violence or be immediately discharge from office, passed in the Senate last week by a unanimous vote. The bill recently passed the House and needs only the signature of Gov. Harmon to become a law. Atlanta, Ga., February 25.—The Supreme Court of Georgia has killed our order in this State, and we are restrained from using either symbol or sign or uniform of any order. United States soldiers are only permitted to wear their uniforms forty.eight hours, if colored men, while in the State off duty. Atlanta, Ga., April 12.—The Atlanta newspapers last week contained the direct statement that Col. H. A. Rucker had been removed as Collector and a white man appointed in his stead. Your correspondent based his communication to you on these telegraphic dispatches. As a matter of fact the actual removal has not been accomplished, but further dispatches indicate that it is the intention to remove Collector Rucker within a short while. It is much to be regretted by the voters of Georgia that the administration has decid- NO.32 ed upon this course, especially in view of the fact that with Collector Rucker's removal not a single Negro will be holding a presidential position in the State of Georgia. The Rev. James Gillen, pastor of St. James' Catholic Church, while speaking on the subject of mob violence, declared that if one hundred good white men believed that they have the right to take human life for a given cause; soon one hundred bad white or Negro men would assent to the same privilege. Lynching he said, was murder. "Thou shalt not kill." Referring to the Negro population in Cairo, he claimed to know them personally as upright, indurtrious citizens, who deserved the good will of every one. As there are good and bad among all races, the Negro race was only guilty of its portion, so there was no reason that all should be attacked when one commits a misdemeanor or crime. Montgomery, Ala., April 15. Just to show that the rumors that have been going the rounds to the effect that Jack Johnson is prejudiced toward his own color falls away below the real character and disposition of the foremost pugilist of the age. Mr. Johnson has secured Dr. Frank C. Caffey, a colored physician of this city to act as medical expert in his camp. Already contracts have been signed up and Dr. Caffey will receive $150 a week and be furnished transportation to and from Oakland, Cal. Dr. Caffey is looked upon as being one of the best physicians in the South, having one of the largest practices in this city. Buttons of Jack Johnson were placed upon the market at Chicago, Ill., last week, and they went like hot cakes. Thousands and thousands of the big fighter's admirers are purchasing them. The button is a thing of beauty, and the pleasant part of it is that the button patented and produced by a Negro establishment in the Windy City. This is about the first time in history that a colored firm has woke up and cut in at the right time. The button would be an honor to any firm, so artistically is it designed, and it will be purchased and kept as a souvenir for many years to come. Always Staunch And True The Denver Republican has al- ways avoided the fallacies and knaveries of yellow journalism, and its steadily increasing Circula- tion proves conclusively that its policy of telling the plain Truth without exaggeration or misrepre~ sentation, standing fast for the Right, is heartily approved with eke! force by the intelligent ublic to which it appeals. To read it is a liberal Education, and the citizen who goes without it does a positive harm to himself, ‘to his family, and to the commu- nity. In no other way can the invest- ment of 24 cents per day —for that is all The Republican costs any subscriber—bring such rich results in that Knowledge which is both Power and Pleasure. Information, instruction and en- tertainment fill its columns and it leaves a good taste in the mouth of the reader.

Denver.—Former Secretary of the Interior James R. Garfield addressed the meeting of the Colorado Conserva- tion Commission Monday and defended the course of former President Roose: velt in making withdrawals of public lands on the ground that he had the right under th® constitution and the decision of John Marshall, the first chief justice of the United States, who said that the chief executive of the nation was fully empowered to con- serve public interests under the broad rule of general welfare; declared that the country had reached the stage where {t would grant no more perpet- ual rights to special interests, and warned the East and the West against the dangers of the monopolization of water power sites by combinations. He said that Colorado could control the water power of its streams, but that the government is the sovereign of the public land that abutted on those streams and cannot, without peril to the public welfare, transfer that control to the state. Governor Shafroth quoted the United States Supreme Court decis- fons to give ground for his assertion that the government had no title to the waters or the rivers and streams of the country. He said that the most the government's interest to the wa- ters of the different states amounted to was an easement which is exercised properly to the end that no obstruc- tion shall be permitted to interfere with interstate commerce.

The road is one which, in the estimation of the commission, can be exceptionally eco- nomicaly built for the entire distance. WM.

IT WILL ALSO RESULT IN BETTER PROTECTION OF REMAINING FORESTS FROM FIRE. Washington.—Western members of Congress who have talked with Sec- retary Wilson recently regarding for- estry matters in the West have been assured by him that a new policy of dealing with the western people in the matter of making land entries within the national forests is gradually being adopted and put into effect. Instead-of retarding settlement with- in the forests, the forest service in fu- ture will encourage it. The home- steader within forest boundaries is to be Welcomed and aided, instead of be- ing treated as an interloper. If it can be shown that the lands can be cultivated after the removal of the timber, the forest service will dis- pose of the timber on tracts where the growth is not needed to conserve wa- ter supply, and then permit the land to be homesteaded for farming purposes. ‘Phe secretary sees many advantages in such a policy, one being the better protection of the remaining forests from fires and another a tessening of the expense made necessary by main- taining numerous ranger stations and large forces of rangers. Restrictions concerning the use of timber for domestic purposes are to be made less binding and the treat- ment generally of settlers living on or near forests is to be Mberalized. A similar liberal policy, it is said, will be put in force as regards pros- pecting and the locating of mineral deposits in forest reserves. ‘The fact that over 87,000 farming in- dividuals went into Canada from the United States inside of eleven months and settled on the agricultural tracts there undoubtedly has made an im- Psion, ; Four Shot in Riots at Pittsburg.

THE OLD-FASHIONED REPUBLICAN THE COLORADO STATESMAN'S remarks published some time ago regarding the passing of the old-fashioned Republican, are being verified now almost daily. It don't take long to turn a popular idol into a popular scapegoat when once the serum has been injected and begins to get in its deadly work. The old-fashioned Republican was a grand old robust champion of great principles which, he believed, could never change, but he was only a diamond in the rough. He is still a brilliant and picturesque object in the nation's pendant of historic gems, but the marks of the cutter and polisher are upon him, and he is destined to come forth in new form and fashion, leaving but a memory of his brilliant past to fix his place in history. Foraker's valedictory, fitted to a theme which first gave birth to the name Republican, was the last inspired expression of old-time Republicanism in the Senate of the United States. Now, Uncle Joe Cannon, bold, defiant, grandly brilliant, and almost alone, is tiding over the day of its final departure from the House of Representatives. A few short years ago, in either victory or defeat, they had no dread, for they were the apostles of righteousness as the conscience and sentiment of that day, and of days and years before, led them to know truth and righteousness. And they were a brilliant company, with Elaine and Conklin, Sumner, Edmunds, Chandler, Reed, McKinley and a host of other great standard-bearers. But the curtain is falling. The old-fashioned Republican is moving off the stage! THE NEW WATER FRANCHISE. HAVE you looked over the proposed new franchise which the tax-paying voters of Denver are to vote upon in May? If you have not done so, you should get a copy and go over it carefully. The Denver Union Water Company will promptly supply you with it upon application at its office. This proposed franchise which is offered to take the place of the one now in force, is the basis of all the extravagant hullabaloo being raised by the political howlers club, presided over by John Rush and backed by Tom Patterson and the other noted, life-long fraud detectors in Denver. It is declared by them to be a cunningly worded and monumental fraud. They are holding fifty-eent luncheons at the Albany hotel every Saturday at which this monumental fraud is being cooked up in every style and served as dessert to citizens who believe that water in any form at a luncheon is a fraud. But the franchise, as an open proposition, has been before the people of Denver for about two months, available to anybody who desires to read it, and is couched in plain language, capable of being understood by any intelligent reader without the aid of a lawyer hired to give it a florid interpretation. There are twenty-four sections in the proposed new franchise, but only eight sections are of special and distinct interest to individual voters, as such, the remaining sixteen sections dealing with proposed rights and privileges between the water company and the city as a whole and with the legal details, allowances and reservations necessary for a proper establishment and understanding of relations between the company and the city as a corporation. The sections of special interest to individual taxpayers are sections 2 to 6 inclusive, and sections 10, 13 and 21. These sections contain everything of individual importance comprised in the grant and contract and it seems to The Colorado Statesman that there is not a word in them that is not plain, reasonable and defensible in law. A franchise is, of necessity, a strictly worded grant and contract, but legal precision is always preferable to loose and ambiguous phrasing. Yet over all such contracts the courts have always held the power of equitable interpretation and regulation, and with this condition well known it is but a waste of time to listen to the unwarranted wailings and direful warnings of the professional mourners who see nothing but woe for the city that binds itself to use pure water for twenty years instead of the beverage which they would like to provide. The question to be decided by the voters at the election in May is: "Shall this franchise be accepted and passed?" or "Shall the water plant be purchased at the appraised price?" Either of these questions is definite and capable of a definite and clear conclusion; but indefinite alternatives proposed by the advocates of an entirely new plant, furnish the muddy water for the occasion and bewilder the minds of voters far more than any provision of the new franchise could bewilder them. The new franchise adopts the present rates, with some reductions, and its adoption will relieve the people of Denver not only of new obligations, but of apprehension over the possible exploits and extravagances of experimental policies. We believe that the free and fair judgment of the voters of Denver will be largely in favor of the granting of the new franchise, both because of its plain and equitable provisions and because it will definitely and favorably dispose of the water question for another lifetime. MOURNFUL REFLECTIONS ON THE PAST. When former Senator Patterson becomes reminiscent he is apt to express his true inward feelings in the most candid manner. On Monday, April 18th, he expressed himself in The News as follows: "We want you to understand how costly it is to be licked by a franchise-stealing corporation."—News. This painful reflection on the past was undoubtedly recalled by the keen disappointment felt by himself and "Clean-Up" John Rush over the failure of the scheme devised by these two public-spirited citizens to secure a franchise for their Denver Municipal Traction Company some four years ago and thereby "Clean-Up" anywhere from one to five millions of dollars. This speculative tramway company—on paper—was heartily endorsed by the chief organizers of the Municipal Ownership party and through it they hoped to lead the people "out of the wilderness" and free them from corporation tyranny and at the same time start themselves well on the road to prosperity and opulence. How painful the disappointment must have been at the failure of the scheme is perhaps better related by the story of the glorious prospects in view as told by the letter of "Clean-Up" John Rush to Mr. Thomas P. Phillips, vice-president of the American Trust and Savings Company, of Chicago, which in part follows: "Chieago, Ill., April 9, 1906. "Mr. Thomas P. Phillips, Vice-President American Trust and Savings Bank: "Mr. Thomas P. Philips, vice-President Anec-Perl," Dear Sir: Pursuant to the convention had with you this day relative to the traction situation in Denver will say that at present The Denver City Transit Company owns, controls and operates all the street car lines, but that it has made application for a twenty (20) year franchise, which application is to be voted upon by the taxpaying electors at the coming election to be held May 15, 1906. * * * "The Denver Municipal Traction Company was incorporated on the fifth day of this month, under the laws of Colorado, and made application for a franchise for a complete new system of street railroads, not only giving the citizens better transportation facilities, but reaching every part of the business district by a much more direct line, and with easier grades than the present existing system. Under the constitution of Colorado all applications for franchises must be submitted to a vote of the taxpaying electors of the city, and the applicant must pay the cost of such election. This cost was determined by the treasurer to be fifteen hundred dollars ($1,500), and that amount was paid by the new company at the time the application was presented. "Under the Denver charter, in order to compel the submission of this question at the regular election, a petition of twenty-five per cent. of the voters was thought necessary, and this petition is now being circulated and signed, to be presented to the Council at its meeting tomorrow evening. "It will cost about $2,000 to pay the circulators of these petitions. The printing and other incidental expenses will make about five hundred dollars ($500) more, or a total of about four thousand dollars ($4,000) initial expense." "In addition, a sum of money ought to be had sufficient to carry on an educational campaign in each election precinct, showing the taxpaying electors the advantage offered by this new traction system. The city is given the right to purchase the system at the end of ten (10), fifteen (15), and twenty (20) years, respectively, for its actual cost plus 10 per cent. bonus. In case the city purchases it shall assume and pay any outstanding bonded indebtedness up to the amount of such purchase price. This makes the bonds run for a definite period, regardless of the purchase by the city, and in case of such purchase gives them the benefit of the added guarantee of the city. * * * * "The franchise application of the new company not only covers the new lines referred to above, but also provides that upon the expiration, lapse or forfeiture of any of the franchises now held by the old company or upon the abandonment or non-use of any of its lines, the new company shall have the immediate right to enter upon all such streets so abandoned, or upon which such franchises have expired or hereafter expire. As a result, if this franchise is granted to the new company it will be but a short time when it will come into possession of practically all the streets now occupied by the old company, since some of the franchises of the old company, in the opinion of lawyers, have already expired, and others expire from year to year until 1912, when all will have expired with the exception of two or three fractional lines. "Two possibilities, therefore, ARE OPEN FOR PROFIT BY THOSE WHO BACK THE NEW COMPANY: "First—The possibility of building a new line, or a material portion thereof, and the forcing of the old company to sell out its holdings by reason of losing its franchise rights upon the streets through the lapse of the present existing franchise. "Second—The possibility of selling at a handsome figure the new franchise to the old company. "This latter phase of the situation is emphasized by the fact that it is currently reported in Wall street that the old company has arranged for floating $25,000,000 of bonds as soon as it can get a new franchise, and it cannot well afford not to make terms, either by sale of its plant to the new company or by purchase of the new company's franchise, in case one shall be obtained. "WITH THESE TWO POSSIBILITIES IN VIEW THERE CAN BE NO QUESTION OF CLEANING UP FROM $1,000,000 TO $5,900,000 IN CASE THE NEW COMPANY SECURES ITS FRANCHISE AS APPLIED FOR. "In order to carry on this fight before the people it is necessary to inspire them with confidence that the application for this franchise is made in good faith. "In order to inspire this confidence it is necessary to interest parties with capital who can either themselves, or through their financial connections, make public announcement and assurance that the bonds of the new company will be taken as soon as the franchise is granted by the vote of the people. "Were it not for the bond feature Denver capital would not permit any part of the promotion money to be sought outside of that city. However, for the purpose of interesting men and institutions of capital by which this assurance as to the floating of the bonds can be given to the public, Denver parties are willing to give a controlling interest of fifty-one (51) per cent, to the parties who will advance twenty thousand dollars ($20,000) to assist in paying the expenses of this application for a franchise for this new company and for the educational campaign necessary to thoroughly acquaint the people with the advantages offered. "THE NEWSPAPER SUPPORT WILL BE GIVEN WITHOUT ANY CHARGE, and owing to the local situation and the intense feeling against the present tramway company this amount, together with what can be raised locally, will undoubtedly gain a favorable vote which will result in the acquisition of a franchise worth 100 times the expenditure. (Signed) "JOHN A. RUSH, "Attorney for Denver Municipal Traction Company." CONSULTATION ON THE FRANCHISE. Violent objection is made to the proposed franchise of the water company on the ground that the franchise was drawn up without the taxpayers of Denver being consulted. This claim is utterly untrue. The proposed franchise was drawn up after an extended consultation with representatives of Denver taxpayers which lasted over several months and went into the water question thoroughly. Readers of this will remember that in December, 1907, the city of Denver selected two experts on water plants, namely, M. L. Holman and F. B. Stearns, to confer with two other engineers chosen by the water company. The two representatives of the city and the two selected by the water company picked the fifth man of the board of appraisers. The city then secured the services of former Governor C. S. Thomas and the firm of engineers of which A. L. Fellows is a member. The experts selected by the city were paid, by the taxpayers of Denver, $10,000 each and expenses. Governor Thomas was paid about $20,000 and the firm with which Mr. Fellows worked almost as much. All told $100,000 was expended by the taxpayers and the work of consultation occupied more than fourteen months. The books of the water company were thrown open and these men went into the accounts thoroughly from the time of the first company was formed in Denver, almost forty years ago, up to the date the investigation was finished. The committee of experts visited the property of the Denver water company, measured its mains, looked over its six pumping plants, saw the filtration plants and explored the priorities of the water rights held by the present company. Mr. Thomas and Mr. Fellows attended the meetings of the board of appraisers and were heard upon all the matters that came before it which they saw fit to discuss. It was a most thorough and complete hearing and investigation of the water question. These men arranged a schedule of rates. They examined the Denver situation and the work of compiling a schedule was handed over to one of the engineers employed by the city, M. L. Holman. He prepared the schedule and submitted it for examination to his colleagues and Governor Thomas and Mr. Fellows. The schedule was adopted as equitable under present conditions in Denver and the water company at once adopted it. It went into effect May 1, 1909, about eleven months ago and is still in force. The fact that these rates have been in effect less than a year is responsible for the fact that no additional reduction is made in the request for the new franchise. The fourteen months during which this board was employed by the city of Denver was passed in considering the water question in all its phases. Governor Thomas and Mr. Fellows attended the hearings both in this city and New York and were supposed to represent the taxpayers. The arguments before the board of appraisers concerning the value of the plant and the schedule to be adopted and other matters in controversy, were in extensive detail. It was believed at that time that the city was well represented. Nobody asked to have additional representation added to that made by Governor Thomas and Mr. Fellows or to have other experts on law and engineering employed. It was not until the board of appraisers announced that they had fixed a value on the plant of The Denver Union Water Company of $14,400,000 that any complaint was made. Then it was urged that the taxpayers had been inadequately represented. This was considerable of a reflection upon Governor Thomas and Mr. Fellows, but there seems to have been no help for it. Somebody had to be the scape-goat. The provisions of the present franchise grew out of the fourteen months' consultation between the water company and the representatives of the taxpayers of Denver. The very schedule adopted by the appraisers—and drawn up by the experts chosen by the city of Denver, was adopted and made a part of the franchise. Persons who were opposed to the water company and wanted the franchise turned down had to turn down Governor Thomas and Mr. Fellows with it. They were there, paid by the city, when the schedule was adopted, so they were held to have consented to it. If it was good then It must be equally good now. If it was not good then why did not Governor Thomas and Mr. Fellows speak up? The question for taxpayers to consider is this: If $100,000 is not enough to pay for consultation on what should be a proper schedule of water rates for Denver, and what should go in the franchise, how much should be spent? Also if Gov. C. S. Thomas and Mr. A. L. Fellows are not competent to represent them, when paid princely fees, who is? There is not an important provision in the proposed franchise that was not discussed at the various meetings of this board of appraisers at which Governor Thomas and Mr. Fellows attended. If they had views opposed to the proposed franchise, why did they not give them? They were paid to do that very thing. It has been suggested since the water controversy began that it was presumptuous to criticize Governor Thomas. Who is C. S. Thomas, anyhow? An honored citizen and cultured gentleman. That is all; certainly he is not a prophet. Assuredly he is not infallible. It is only a few years ago since the political party to which he belongs assembled in convention at Coliseum hall in Denver and heard him paint a gloomy and terrible picture of its future unless it took his advice and did as he directed. By a vote so overwhelming that it was practically unanimous the party turned Governor Thomas down. Surely if the political cohorts of which he has been the wheel horse for two decades can scorn his judgment in a great crisis, the taxpayers of Denver can examine his record, calmly and with moderation, in reference to the water question. Governor Thomas is certainly not the sacred ox of Colorado upon whom no impious hands may be laid. The water company certainly consulted the people of Denver in reference to the proposed franchise. The people, as represented by Governor Thomas and Mr. Fellows, and the two appraisers, Messrs. Holman and Stearns, did their work thoroughly as they could. The most important part of the proposed franchise, the rate schedule, was taken bodily into the franchise from the hands of these gentlemen. If this was not consulting the people of Denver, then nothing short of framing the franchise at a mass meeting held at the principal four corners of the city would go beyond it. Governor Thomas and Mr. Fellows may not have done their work as well as they should. They are both out now fighting the franchise tooth and nail and must certainly have done something at the various hearings of the board of appraisers to represent the people and earn their pay. Two such energetic gentlemen as these, backed by experts such as Mr. Holman and Stearns are, must have represented the people of Denver fairly well. If they didn't, it certainly is not a fault for which the water company should be blamed. The water company did not select either of them.

Rivers, Denver, Colo. Dear Sir and Friend:— Paper at hand. I write to express with you and the people of Denver and Colorado my sympathy in the departure from among us of Hon Joseph H. Stuart. In my many years acquaintance and business relation with him, I found a man of caution, ripe experience, keen learning and a strong lover of race enterprises and upitt. Denver will be the poorer because of his absence. Had looked forward to be in Denver this spring, but find it impossible. I wish for you and the Colorado Statesman and all friends abundant My own work is prospering and health good. With best regards, I am, Yours truly, JOHN E. FORD. PEOPLE'S PRESBYTE- Sunday topics: 11 a. m.—"Prevention and Control of Tuberculosis." 8 p. m.—"Spiritual Visions Discerned by the Spiritually-minded." 7 p. m.—Y. P. S. C. E.—"Christ Winning the World." John 12:20-32. The Presbytery of Denver was very much elated over the past year's work of the People's church. Many changes were made on the permanent committees of Presbytery. Among others the pastor was appointed chairman of the committee on Freedmen, a position heretoof held by a white Presbyter, even though a colored Presbyterian minister was a member of Presbytery. The chairmanship of the committee on Sabbath observance and public morals was also entrusted to him. Elder W. G. Campbell was elected alternate commissioner to represent the Presbytery of Denver at the next General Assembly, which convenes at Atlantic City May 19th. The utmost paices are being taken to make the concert and conundrum supper next Friday night, under the auspices of The Thimble Club, a great success. All persons who desire to spend a nice social hour are asked to attend. Sunday, May 1st, will be a "High Day" at the People's church. At the 11 o'clock service Dr. Beckham, who is now occupying the pulpit of Zion Baptist, in the absence of Rev. Over, will speak for us. At 3 o'clock p. m. the pastor, Rev. J. A. Thos-Hazell, will preach the annual sermon to Hiram Commandery No. 20. A sacred concert, under the department of the Y. P. S. C. E., will be rendered in lieu of the night-service. Everybody is asked to take notice and govern himself accordingly. SCOT'S CHAPEL NOTES. Mrs. Frances E. Williams, Epworth League treasurer, has gone to Golden, Colorado.

A trial THE OCKERY CO THE NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS When the Teachers Visit Washington How a Secretary Was Made Miserable How a Secretary Was Made Miserable How Few Drinks Change a Man's Mood How Few Drinks Change a Man's Mood Story of a Beggar and Congressman ILL TOG UP A BIT AND MAKE A GOOD IMPRESSION WASHINGTON.—The spring vacation is when the teachers swarm to Washington. They come from east, north, south and west. They are personally conducted, as a rule, as in the case of the Cleveland teachers here Easter week; and what they don't see is not worth seeing. They go to the White House, and if they are lucky they get a glimpse of the president and possibly a handshake. Then they want to see Cannon. Cannon is on his best behavior on these occasions. He readily consents to make a little speech, as he did for the Clevelanders. All you have to do is to go to his secretary and state your request. "Well," says the secretary, "you have them here at so-and-so sharp. Mr. Cannon will be here." Cannon comes out in his best "Uncle Joe" attitude. He bows and smiles and says, "Ah, yes, I'm glad to see you." And he talks in a low, confidential tone that is calculated to make the teachers think that anybody who op- I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY SECRETARIES to congressmen take really more interest in what the congressmen do than the congressmen themselves. The secretaries carefully weigh each word and act, to determine what the folks back home are going to think about it. One secretary, a dyed-in-the-wool Republican, had always boasted that his chief was a regular of the regulars. These doggoned Insurgents would never get that congressman's vote, you betcherlife. Well, when they were lining up for Cannon that congressman did vote with the Insurgents. The secretary was plunged into deepest gloom. He couldn't understand it. He treated his chief with marked reserve for several days. He avoided the secretaries whom he had made his boast to. But one afternoon he chanced upon a group of them in the hall of the house office building. "How about it?" they chirruped. "How about it, old sport?" The unhappy secretary gave them one haughty look. SENATOR WARNER of Missouri rose to speak at a dinner that was being given by the Missouri Republican league in Washington recently. He had been introduced at some length, and rather sugary things had been said about him. Whatever brought the story to his mind he didn't say. Possibly it was that introduction. "In a western town there was a village drunkard," said the senator. "I want to tell a story about him to illustrate what a change in a man's mood drink may make. This drunkard was often under the care of the village doctor. The doctor decided to move to Texas. The drunkard met him on the street in the morning before he had had a drink. "Hello, doc," he said, 'understand you're going to Texas. Well, I've got HIS BUMP OF LIDER ALITY MUST BE ER DENT! A SOUTHERN congressman was walking toward Pennsylvania avenue from the capitol in Washington. He noticed a worn and shabby man eyeing him closely. When the congressman reached the shabby one the latter hallled him. "You are a college man, sir," he said. "I can see that. May I speak to you a moment?" The congressman obligingly slowed up his pace. "I am a college man, too," said the stranger. "But I am down on my luck. I am offered a position, but I haven't got good enough clothes to accept it. I thought possibly you could help me temporarily. I will pay you back as soon as I get on my feet." "No. I guess I kain't do anything." poses him is opposing a nice, kind old man. He admits some faults, but he tries to make his hearers believe that he isn't half as bad as he has been painted. Clerk John Walker of the senate gets in on this, too. He tells the teachers about everything of interest in the capitol. He had 200 New rampshire beauties in one party recently. He took them into the rooms of the District of Columbia committee. "This room is where the senate branch of the Washington council sits," he said. "Here are considered the improvements, the changes, the laws and the ordinances of the city of Washington. Look there at the picture of the Union station, which, beautiful and imposing, greeted you when you came to Washington. It looks like a classic temple of old, instead of the terminal of a thousand trains. Here is a map of the district, showing the magnificent plan upon which the city was conceived by L'Enfant. "Then, too, behold the panorama of the harbor of Portsmouth, in our beloved New Hampshire, with its splendid navy yard, its picturesque islands and wooded slopes. This picture is Senator Gallinger's pride, just as Portsmouth is the pride of all the people of New Hampshire." "I have nothing to say," he declared, with marked asperity, and marched down the corridor. His chief couldn't have done it one-half so well. The part that the blind chaplain of the house takes in the proceedings gives a touch of austerity and solemnity for a moment or two each day at noon. Just a few minutes before the hour of 12 is reached Rev. Henry N. Couden is led into the chamber by a page. The chaplain feels his way with his cane, as the boy guides him. He sits quietly till the speaker announces that the chaplain will offer prayer. There is a silence while the minister's voice is raised in supplication. As soon as he is done the page comes forward and the chaplain taps his way out of the chamber again. The quiet that had for a little fallen over the statesmen is quickly dissipated as the mill begins to grind. Says Congressman Howland: "When Cannon got to considering what the house had done when it ousted him from the rules committee he told this story: 'A man had been run over by a train. An employee wired that his head and both legs had been cut off. Later he sent another wire: 'Accident not as bad as reported. Your husband's legs were not cut off.'" a brother out there by the name of Bill. If you see Bill you tell him that my crops are rotten this year. Stock is in bad shape. My wife needs clothes and the kids are nearly naked. If he has a little loose change that he don't need tell him to send it along. I'll pay it back.' The doctor said he would convey the message to Bill if he chanced to meet that person. "An hour later, when he had had two drinks, the drunkard met the doctor again. 'Hello, doc,' he said, 'understand you're going to Texas. I've got a brother out there by the name of Bill. If you see Bill tell him I'm getting along all right., Crops are fair. Stock not so bad. Kids gettin' along all right. So is the old woman. If you see Bill, tell him I don't need any help." "Two hours after this, when the drunkard had had several more drinks, he met the doctor again. 'Hello, doc,' said the drunkard, 'understand you're going to Texas,' and so forth. 'If you see Bill tell him I was never in better shape. Crops are fine. Stock fat and sassy. Family on Easy street. Tell Bill, if you see him, that I'll send him some money if he's up against it." said the congressman. "Well, could you let me have a dollar? I am hungry." The congressman quickened his walk. "A quarter? Please, just a quarter." "No, I guess not," said the congressman. The stranger stopped and the congressman moved away. Then this was sent after him: "Say, you haven't got a cigarette paper, have you?" This is pretty bad, but we tell it because it is going the rounds. "Rodenberg has gone into business," said Bartholdt of St. Louis, addressing Chapman and McKinney of Illinois. "The dog business," Bartholdt added. "He's got a new dog. He calls him Hardware." "Why such a name?" asked the other congressmen. "When the grocery boy kicked at the dog this morning the dog made a bolt for the door," was Bartholdt's unbushing answer. Best Method of Preparing and Serving the Cheaper Cuts That May Be Bought. This name is commonly given to inexpensive cuts of beef chopped, seasoned a little, shaped into small balls or into one large thin cake, and quickly broiled in the way that a tender steak would be. Owing to the quick cooking much of the natural flavor of the meat is developed and retained. The fact should be kept in mind that Hamburg steak must be made from fresh, well-ground meat. It is much safer to chop the meat at home, as chopped meat spoils very quickly. Much depends, too, upon browning it sufficiently to bring out the flavors. Many cooks think that Hamburg steak is improved if the meat is mixed with milk before it is cooked. In some parts of the country, and particularly in some of the Southern states, two kinds of beef are on sale. One is imported from other parts of the country and is of higher price. The other, known locally as "native beef," is sometimes lacking in flavor and in fat and is usually tougher. Southern native beef, such as is raised in Florida, is almost invariably, however, of extremely good flavor, due presumably to the feed or other conditions under which it is raised. By chopping such meat and cooking it as Hamburg steak, a dish almost as palatable as the best cuts of the more expensive beef may be obtained. It such cases, however, it is desirable because of the low percentage of fat to add suet or butter to the meat. The reason for this is that in the cooking the water of the juice when unprotected by fat evaporates too quickly and leaves the meat dry. This may be prevented by adding egg as well as fat, for the albumen of the egg hardens quickly and tends to keep in the juices. The proportion should be one egg to $1 \frac{1}{2}$ pounds of meat. HEIGHT OF CULINARY ART Preparation of Savory Gravies and Sauces is the Test of the Competent Cook. The art of preparing savory gravies and sauces is more important in connection with the serving of the cheaper meats than in connection with the cooking of the more expensive. There are a few general principles underlying the making of all sauces or gravies, whether the liquid used is water, milk, stock, tomato juice, or some combination of these. For ordinary gravy two level tablespoonfuls of flour or $1\frac{1}{2}$ tablespoonfuls of cornstarch or arrowroot is sufficient to thicken a cupful of liquid. This is true excepting when the flour is browned. In this case about one-half tablespoonful more should be allowed, for browned flour does not thicken so well as unbrowned. The fat used may be butter or the drippings from the meat, and the allowance being two tablespoonfuls to a cup of liquid. The easiest way to mix the ingredients is to heat the fat, add the flour and cook until the mixture ceases to bubble, and then to add the liquid. This is a quick method, and by using it there is little danger of getting a lumpy gravy. Many persons, however, think it is not a wholesome method and prefer the old-fashioned one of thickening the gravy by means of flour mixed with a little cold water. The latter method is of course not practicable for brown gravels. Pumpkin Ple. Add the beaten yolks of four eggs and one cupful of white sugar to two cupfuls of pumpkin that has been stewed and put through a colander. With this mix a quart of milk, one teaspoonful of cinnamon, mace and nutmeg mixed, and the whites of the eggs beaten stiff. Line a deep pie plate with a good paste, cut slashes in it here and there, stir the pumpkin custard well from the bottom and put into the pastry. Bake in a steady oven. Lemon Ring. One and one-half pounds of flour, half a pound of butter, one pound of sugar, three lemons, four eggs, half a cupful of milk. Rub the butter into the flour. Mix in the sugar and the grated rind of the lemons. Beat up the eggs well, and wet paste with them, adding the milk. Roll out thin and cut into rings with two cutters. Bake on a buttered baking tin in a moderate oven. To Keep Wall Clean. The best way to keep the walls of the kitchen white and glossy is to wash their painted surface with bran water instead of soap. Boll one pint of bran in a gallon of water for an hour. The paint will look better and keep clean longer when washed with this than when cleaned with soap or water. Salmon Loaf Mince one can of salmon, removing all bits of bone. Add to it a cupful fine, stale bread crumbs, two beaten eggs, a half cupful of milk, and salt, pepper, parsley and lemon juice to season. Put in mold and bake or steam for half an hour. Turn out and serve hot with a white or Hollandaise sauce. Dumplings for Stew. Two cups sweet milk, two teaspoons cream tartar, one teaspoon soda, one teaspoon salt, enough flour to stir as stiff as you can. Drop from spoon into boiling stew and boil for 20 minutes without stirring. If you get in flour enough they will be very light and nice Color more goods brighter and faster colors than any other dye.

If the horse already has defective feet keep them carefully trimmed and shod if necessary. The soft hoof should be shod and reshod every six or eight weeks in winter where the ground is frozen and at all times of the year where the roads are rocked or graveled. By keeping the horse with poor feet properly shod it will do good service without loss of time. But it is best to breed for good feet. DOWNWARD COURSE. Kidney Troubles Grow Worse Every Year.

The little son of the family happened to be idling his time in the kitchen when the colored porter came up out of the cellar, where he had been shoveling coal into the heater, grasped the white towel hanging on the door and passed into the hall.

Butcher Charges Exorbitant Price for Tenderloin Which She Gets for 25 Cents In the City Market. Washington is a delightful place to visit, but an undesirable city to live in. Every one who has occasion to go there learns before he knows the location of the White House that things are high in the nation's capital. For years residents of Washington were disposed to deny the truth of this statement, but since the cost of living in. Every one who has occasion to go there learns before he knows the location of the White House that things are high in the nation's capital. For years residents of Washington were disposed to deny the truth of this statement, but since the cost of living investigations became the fashion, it has been officially declared to be true by no less an authority than the secretary of agriculture himself, backed by others less renowned. In order to ascertain to their own satisfaction whether this were so, and if so, why, the men composing the chamber of commerce organized themselves into an investigating committee, and after interviewing each other somewhat extensively as to the prices that they charged for the necessities and the luxuries of life, they came to the conclusion—all of them being business men—that the business men of Washington were not guilty of contributing to the high cost of living. Nevertheless, they agreed that the cost of living in Washington had increased alarmingly in the last ten years. They had nothing to do with it, however, for they agreed that the causes were not local, but found their root in the great producing and distributing centers of the country. Moreover, they decided that cold storage of food products had some influence on the cost of living; wherefore they agreed that congress should enact remedial legislation regulating the cold storage of food products, limiting the period of storage of certain things and perhaps restricting the operations of the cold storage companies to a strictly warehouse business. This is all very flattering to the business men of Washington, and in accordance with what the cold storage men themselves ask for, but the humble consumer is at a loss to account for some things that come under his notice. For instance, a certain careful housewife, whose husband is prosperous enough to be able to afford not only the necessities, but even the luxuries of life at the present prices, ordered from her butcher some tenderloin of beef. The bill accompanying the delivery caused her to open her eyes wide. She went to the telephone, and ringing up her butcher, suggested that the price of 80 cents a pound must be an error. He blandly assured her that the price was very reasonable. "Why," he said, "that costs me 50 cents." "Well," replied the lady, "that would be a profit of 60 per cent. Why, I call that too much. I can go down to the market and buy tenderloin at 25 cents a pound." Desirous of ascertaining whether her particular butcher was more expensive than others in a fashionable locality, she inquired the price of tenderloin in another butcher's stall, and was told that it was $1 a pound. She then went to the market and succeeded in buying the same thing at 25 cents a pound. It is not intended to give the impression that such a range of prices exists in all commodities in Washington, but this is presented as a true incident, and helps to explain why those who are compelled to spend a portion of the year in Washington leave the city with depleted pocket books and sighs of genuine relief. MEANING OF WORD "CREEK" Champ Clark Tells the House It Is a Small Stream in the West. When the river and harbor bill was up in the house, a paragraph was reached providing $10,000 for Newton Creek. "Are all the creeks named in this bill navigable?" asked Champ Clark. He was assured by Chairman Alexander that the creeks were estuaries and had a large amount of commerce. "That is what I supposed," said Clark, "affected by tide-water. Why didn't they call them something besides 'creeks?' Out west of the Alleghenies 'creek' has a well-defined meaning. It is a very small stream, fit for nothing except in which to catch minnows. I only called attention to this to clear up the minds of some gentlemen who have not been here very long, and did not know the value of a creek." Not a Student of Botany. A few days ago two congressmen found Congressman Jim Mann busily engaged in studying the grass and soil in one of the parks near the capitol in Washington. "I didn't suppose Jim Mann ever had time to study anything but legislation," remarked one of the men, "but he seems to be giving a great deal of attention to botany." Mann looked up. "Botany? Botany nothing," he exclaimed, "I've lost a quarter in this grass and I can't find it. You fellows get busy and help look for it." SUGGESTION BY DR. WILEY Government Chemist Tells How Housewife Could Save Money by Roasting Own Coffee. If the housewife would buy her coffee unroasted in the bean, forays Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, who for years has led the crusade for pure foods, the saving in the cost of living would be very material. Most people can remember when it was a common thing to buy coffee in that form, roasting it as needed and grinding it in a hand mill. Our fathers used to believe that coffee so prepared was superior in quality to that bought in the store already roasted and ground fine. Coffee after being prepared in that manner quickly loses a large portion of its fine aroma, and, moreover, it is a condition lending itself most readily to adulteration. "Excellent Brazilian coffee," says Dr. Wiley, "can be bought for six cents a pound by the bag. It should be bought in this way and stored in the attic, where it will cure and improve so that after two or three years it will be even better than when it was first put away. A very excellent quality of Brazilian coffee, such as the merchants usually sell for 25 cents a pound, can be bought for seven cents." The annual consumption of coffee is 12 to 13 pounds per capita in America. If we could save, not 18 cents, but even ten cents a pound on the entire consumption, the consumers of the country could pocket $100,000,000 a year. This is something worth considering. But that is not the only saving. The bulk—practically all of the coffee—is now sold roasted and ground. Deterioration of quality incident by keeping the coffee in this form, and by the adulteration of it occasion a still further loss to the consumer, equal, probably, to another $100,000,000 a year. It is practically impossible to select good coffee after it has been ground. The way to select good coffee is to select it green, and to refuse to accept any which is full of blasted and broken beans, sticks and dirt. DEPEW NOTES COINCIDENCE Overhears Conversation of Women About President Taft and Draws His Own Conclusions. Senator Depew of New York the other day was an interested listener to the conversation of two women who had been to see President Taft. One said it gave her great pleasure to see Mr. Taft in the White House, especially as he was a man whom she had wanted to see realize his great ambition. "I have not realized my great ambition," the president told her, "my great ambition was to be chief executive of the Supreme court." The same day this conversation was reported to Senator Depew by that woman, another woman who had been to see the president also talked with the New York senator, and said: "I have been to see President Taft to-day. I am convinced that he will serve one term, and that he will be succeeded by Theodore Roosevelt. I also prophesy that President Roosevelt will appoint ex-President Taft chief justice of the Supreme court." Senator Depew has been thinking deeply of the coincidence of the conversations of the two women, and of the prophecy of the latter. Among other things that would have to happen to make this prophecy materialize, Chief Justice Fuller must live on for at least three years and two or three months. SCARCELY KNEW THE SENATE Correspondent After Ten Years' Absence Notices Some Senators Have Grown Old. A newspaper man who spent a great many years as a Washington correspondent, but who has been absent for some time, went into the press gallery the other day and, looking down on the senate, remarked: "Well, I scarcely know any of the senators now. I notice Tom Carter and Senator Perkins of California, is it not? And there is Gallinger." His attention was directed to Hale and Lodge, who were talking with a group of senators in the back part of the chamber. "Good gracious!" he exclaimed, "how old Hale has grown. And Lodge hasn't been getting a bit younger. "It seems as if there were a lot of young men in the senate. The men whom I knew are only few in number, but they all seem to have grown very old." It is natural to suppose that ten years will make quite a difference in a body like the United States senate. "Lollie" James. One of the Ballinger-Pinchot investigators is Ollie James, the biggest man in the house. Ollie, not satisfied with the ordinary chair provided for the other members of the commission, procured a specially large, easy chair, which slants well back, and in which the big Kentuckian can make himself very comfortable. The fact that he lolls it most of the time has earned for him among a number of men the designation. "Lollie" James, the jokers prefixing an "L" to his regular name. Of Great Interest to Women. Or great interest to women. Women were more interested in the Ballinger-Pinchot investigation than the men. Every hour during the investigation two-thirds of the spectators were women who gave close attention to every detail. They showed more interest in the testimony of Gifford Pinchot than any one else. GIFT THAT PLEASES CRYSTALIZED FRUIT PEEL AL WAYS WELCOME. Simple Method of Preparation That Is In Every Way Satisfactory—Full Directions for Its Manufacture Given Below. An attractive gift that may easily be made at home and that gives an amount of pleasure quite disproportionate to the labor involved is a box of crystallized fruit peel. The charm of the gift lies partly in the delicious flavor of the candy and partly in the attractiveness of the packing. One especially effective box was packed with crystallized pineapple and candied orange, grape fruit and lemon peel, with a decoration of candied mint leaves, cherries and angelica on the top. After packing carefully, before putting on the box cover, the candy may be covered with a paper lace dolly. There is a simple method of preparing the crystalized peel that is in every way satisfactory. Take the rind of two grape fruits or four oranges, removing any portion of the tough fiber separating the sections that may adhere, but leaving the white lining of the yellow rind. With scissors cut the peel in strips one-quarter or three-eighths of an inch wide, cover with plenty of water and boll slowly for half an hour. Drain, cover with fresh cold water and boll again for another half hour. Then pour off all the water, add a large cup of granulated sugar and half a cupful of cold water and boll until all the sirup has been absorbed. Scatter on pieces of brown paper to cool and dry a little, then roll in fine granulated sugar. The peel of lemons, mandarins and limes may be prepared in the same way and a few strips of each mixed in a box of candied orange and grape fruit afford a pleasant variety. Candied pineapple strips are delicious and are easily prepared. The fruit is first peeled, then cut in strips two inches long, half an inch wide and about a quarter of an inch thick. Measure the fruit and add half the quantity of granulated sugar, and let it stand until the sugar is dissolved, which may be nearly twenty-four hours. Drain off the juice and boil it five minutes, then add the fruit and cook for three or four minutes; drain the pineapple and spread on a platter to dry. The process may be hastened by putting the platter in the sun, the warming closet, or even on the top of a radiator. The fruit should be turned once and then rolled in fine granulated sugar. The process is a much more lengthy one than that required for the fruit peel, but a few pieces put in each box make a delicious addition. The cherries and mint leaves may be prepared in similar fashion, but as they are easily secured at large groceries or confectionery shops, together with angelica, which has such an exquisite flavor, and as only a small quantity is required for a dozen or more boxes, it seems hardly worth while to make them at home. A single cherry in the middle of a box with a circle of mint leaves and narrow strips of angelica about it gives to the sweets an artistic touch.—Los Angeles Herald. Whole Wheat Bread Cheese Sandwich Whole Wheat Bread Cheese Sandwich Cream cheese is still one of the favorites for sandwiches or crispy crackers, and many are the combinations recommended. For those people who dislike the sweet mixture, chopped olives or capers may be used to enliven the cheese. If it is to be served on crackers, both the eye and the palate may be satisfied if small golden olives stuffed with pimentoes are used. They should not be chopped too fine. This is a particularly good paste to spread on thin buttered slices of whole wheat, or even steamed brown bread, provided the latter is not too moist.—Harper's Bazar. Stuffed Heart. Wash the heart thoroughly inside and out, stuff with the following mixture, and sew up the opening: One cup broken bread dipped in fat and browned in the oven, one chopped onion, and salt and pepper to taste. Cover the heart with water and simmer until tender or boil ten minutes and set in the fireless cooker for six or eight hours. Remove from the water about one-half hour before serving. Dredge with flour, pepper and salt, or sprinkle with crumbs and bake until brown. Old Hardwood Floors. Hardwood floors which have been badly scratched or damaged must be sandpapered and treated to a coating of wax. The wax must be allowed to dry thoroughly before the floor is used. Twenty-four hours is not long enough. In the case of parquet flooring, it will be necessary to scrape it first and then coat with shellac. If the floors are discolored where they are not protected by rugs, the scraping or sandpapering will remedy this also. Fruit Cake for Dyspeptics. Stir two heaping teaspoons of baking powder into three cups flour, add one teaspoon salt, one-half teaspoon vanilla, one-half cup currants, one-half cup raisins, preferably sultanas, two-thirds cup milk, two-thirds cup water. This will agree with the dyspeptic if eaten when two days old. Bran Gems. One cup bran, one cup flour, one cup sweet milk, one-fourth cup molasses, one teaspoon soda, salt to suit the taste.

My hands were very sore and cracked open on the insides for over a year with large sores. They would crack open and bleed, itch, burn and ache so that I could not sleep and could do but little work. They were so bad that I could not dress myself in the morning. They would bleed and the blood dropped on the floor. I called on two doctors, but they did me no good. I could get nothing to do any good till I got the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment. About a year ago my daughter got a cake of Cuticura Soap and one box of Cuticura Ointment and in one week from the time I began to use them my hands were all healed up and they have not been a mite, sore since. I would not be without the Cuticura Remedies. "They also cured a bad sore on the hand of one of my neighbor's children, and they think very highly of the Cuticura Remedies. John W. Hasty, So.

An adult's food that can save a baby proves itself to be nourishing and easily digested and good for big and little folks. A Brooklyn man says: "When baby was about eleven months old he began to grow thin and pale. This was, at first, attributed to the heat and the fact that his teeth were coming, but, in reality, the poor little thing was starving, his mother's milk not being sufficient nourishment. "One day after he had cried bitterly for an hour, I suggested that my wife try him on Grape-Nuts. She soaked two teaspoonfuls in a saucer with a little sugar and warm milk. This baby ate so ravenously that she fixed a second which he likewise finished. "It was not many days before he forgot all about being nursed, and has since lived almost exclusively on Grape-Nuts. Today the boy is strong and robust, and as cute a mischief-maker as a thirteen months old baby is expected to be. "We have put before him other foods, but he will have none of them, evidently preferring to stick to that which did him so much good—his old friend Grape-Nuts. "Use this letter any way you wish, for my wife and I can never praise Grape-Nuts enough after the brightness it has brought to our household." Grape-Nuts is not made for a baby food, but experience with thousands of bables shows it to be among the best, if not entirely the best in use. Being a scientific preparation of Nature's grains, it is equally effective as a body and brain builder for grown-ups. Read the little book, "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. "There's a Reason."

Phone Main 7050 METHOD IN THEIR MADNESS Timid Man Gets New Wrinkle as to the Management of the Church Bazar. A timid man unused to the methods employed in the management of a church summer bazar looked with dismay upon the heap of china fragments that had been swept into one corner of the room. "Did all this stuff get broken here to-night?" he asked. The pretty attendant at a nearby booth assured him that it did. "Then how on earth do you make any profit," he asked, "if so much of your stuff gets smashed?" "Ok," said she candidly, "it's the smashing that counts. It is the funniest thing, but somehow everything happens to get broken just at the time when some person who is able to buy through looking at it, and as the guilty wretch feels that his carelessness may have caused the accident he squares himself with his conscience by paying about three times as much as the thing was worth. Wouldn't you like to look—" She waved her hand above her own table full of fragile bric-a-brac. "Not on your life!" said the timid man, and he backed off to a respectful and safe distance.

WEESEVER PURELY FEMININE ECONOMY IN DRESS FOR THE WOMAN WHOSE MEANS ARE LIMITED. Idea Should Be to Have One. Frock Which Can Be Made to Do Duty for Many Occasions—An Illustration. The woman who can only afford one gown of a dressy nature each season naturally looks out for a nodel and material which will permit the costume being worn for many different sorts of occasions. The great vogue of silk allows this all-round use for a fine frock, especially if the gown is made of satin foulard, for this shimmering and handsome texture may be made to look as plain or as elegant as one wishes. Where the dress is to do some duty for evening, it is well to have a round decolletage, which would be filled in on day occasions with a high, long-sleeved guimpe. Then, since no dress can be fine without a tunic of some sort, if one happens upon a short pattern of silk, it is the easiest thing in the world to eke it out with an overdress of marquisette, veiling or chiffon. The marquisette is first cousin to chiffon, and is of so diaphanous a texture, indeed, that it is sometimes used for automobile veils. With a walking skirt—for the more dressy of the tunic dresses are slightly trained—the overdress may be the dinklest little affair, no more than an apron, in fact, and with the lower edge cut with a fish-tall curve. A distinct manness of the moment is a bunchy overskirt effect, which is made by gathering the outside skirt very full over the foundation one, and then tying it about below the knees with a ribbon sash. This is a very good design for a foulard dress, and there is always the comfort that the next year there will be enough material in the gown to make it over in a new style. Figured and plain pongees and shantung silk respond excellently to the limp lines and tailored effects of the moment, and a well made dress in any one of these materials is both a comfort and a valuable possession, for such textures are delightfully cool, and old dresses in them may always be dyed and cut down for children. Natural colored shantung—a brownish yellow—is very stylish and washes like a rag. The one-piece dresses in this effective material look very pretty with the white lace and net yokes which still enliven everything. The illustration shows a girlish model which would adapt itself charmingly to all bordered materials, such as muslin, pongee, marquisette, chiffon, etc., but the dress could also be made in a plain goods with an applied bordering of ribbon or lace entreux. As illustrated, the little dress DAY WAIST TO MATCH GOWN Or May Be Made a Splendid House Affair, If Such a Garment Is More Desired. This day waist is in a dim shade of plum crepe de chine, and it gives the horizontal disposal of the trimming. The garment fastens in the back under a narrow stitched plait, no part of the THE LADY'S BLOUSE trimming other than tucks showing there. At the front there is a lavish treatment with insets of net-laces, tucks, embroidery and small silk buttons. The small mutton-leg sleeves display the amount of fullness now admitted the long arm covering, and the stock is in the form of a straight band is of novelty veiling, black spots on a dead white ground, and it is put over silk in one of the new rich shades of blue, and belted with the same color. The high gulpe is of all-over lace and put over a gilt webbing. A more practical gown in this design—for this combination strikes the last note of elegance—could be of any of the little silks now used, and which may be bought for from 49 cents a yard up, and still seem smart and fine; THE LADY'S DRESS for it all depends on how you treat these cheap silks whether the dress is exquisite or tawdry. My own taste would be to trim them very plainly with tucking or ribbon bands, and have the yoke of a modest rather than a flamboyant nature. There are some fancy nets, which respond most charmingly to well made yokes and guimpes, and to my mind these are far prettier for summer than yokes of richer lace. Mary Dean of the embroidery between two of the lace. Such a waist could be developed very prettily in any thin velling that would match the gown color, or else be made quite a splendid house affair, if made in all-white. Where time must be economized, the embroidery could be left off, as the box plaits upon which this appears are in themselves decorative. With the trimming further simplified, this model would be excellent for a practical waist in any wash material. The New Sleeve. It is now definitely fixed that the sleeve with the long shoulder, the full middle piece and the elbow cuff tight to the arm is to be in favor. It is seen on all the best models, and it evidently will prevail. The upper sleeve, or cap, is a bit loose on the arm, but has no tendency to be square. It is cut in one with the bodice and drops over arm, and is usually attached to the second division, which is made of thin fabric, gathered top and bottom. This just turns the elbow, and is somewhat fuller under the arm than on top of it. It is there gathered into the third division, which is in the shape of a long tight cuff, wrinkled or plain. No matter what the modifications are, this seems to be the sleeve of the day. Prints. We are approaching a season of prints, and while it is needless to include the much-in-evidence foulard, we see in it the keynote. Its figures have been copied on dimity, ogandle, barred muslin, crepe, net and on cotton foulard. Every variation of the floral pattern is shown on these washable stuffs, and many of them have the added richness of the satin or mercerized stripe. Pongees, too, are printed, and the whole tale has not been told without mention of the stamped and figured chiffons, which show forth a perfection not found in any other fabric. JOHN A.
