THE WATER FRANCHISE AND OTHER ISSUES UP TO THE PEOPLE. VOTE FOR PROGRESS. THE VERNON RUMOR. VOL. XVI. THE LO CONVENTIONS ARE OVER. AND OTHER ISSUES UP FOR PROGRESS. UP TO THE PEOPLE. The conventions are over. The coming election in May puts the real questions and issues of the present campaign up to the people for final settlement. This has no doubt been one of the hottest political contests ever waged in Denver. More new and serious questions touching public welfare have been injected into the campaign. Many of these questions have been thrust in at this time for the purpose of obscuring the real and most important issue up for settlement. The Colorado Statesman has carefully endeavored to keep the main issue before its readers. The granting of the water franchise asked for by the Denver Union Water Company is the all important matter. We have very carefully and fully outlined the various features of the water franchise and believe its simplicity renders its understanding easy for all. The water company very plainly and boldly asks for the franchise and plainly states what it will do in return. Over against the franchise is a municipal ownership opposition composed of some of the most violent reformers the West has ever known. If one carefully follows the career of these reformers during the campaign, they are early impressed with the seeming hollowness of their vaunted patriotism. With a desperation worthy a better cause they have fought fiercely, retreating only as their assertions have been exploded. Into the campaign has been thrust the initiative, the recall, the referendum, and a number of charter amendments, calculated to catch the unsophisticated rather than to benefit a waiting public. These things, all good in themselves, have been thrust in at a very inopportune time by a gang of political reformers anxious to get a chance at the public funds. Then, as if to further obscure the real issue, comes the "wet and dry" campaign. This brings practically all the issues up to date. Just what the people will do is a problem. The question is up to them. In the past the American voter has finally worked out the right answer to the problem. They can be trusted again. --- JUST THINKING. In the few days before the election the people are just thinking. Here is a great, big, growing city with citizens and sojourners from the ends of the earth. Here are to be solved perplexing questions of municipal government. Under the peculiar suffrage condition of our country all will have a chance at the question. Therefore it behoves every voter, man and woman, as well as every taxpayer, to give to all public questions, and especially those affecting our municipal welfare. Our people are always alive during a campaign: In this campaign, this paper makes a special appeal to the Negro voters of the city of Denver to carefully inform themselves on the issues of the campaign and be prepared to vote intelligently and uninfluenced by the political piker and heeler, regardless of the stand he takes. Our people are increasing rapidly in this city. They are making good as citizens and home builders. They are each day developing a public sentiment that will be a priceless heritage to our young boys and girls. Our people must realize that they are a part of the civic life of the city and thereby owe something to the uplift of public morals and good citizenship. Every good citizen is interested in the growth of Denver. Likewise they are interested in its continued prosperity and are willing to help. This can be done by standing with those who stand for a greater Denver. Standing with those who have made the city, county and state. You will get your reward. VERNON RUMORS Just as if the Taft administration did not have enough troubles, Dame Rumor proposes to add another to the white man's burden. Telegraphic reports have it that President Taft will retire Register Vernon from the Treasury Department in June and fill the place with a white man. We do not pretend to know how much truth there is in this rumor, but we feel safe in predicting a little on the result of it, if it be true. Speaker Cannon may have had some trouble with the insurgents, but his trou- State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House ADCO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, bles will be child's play compared with the revolt of Negro voters in the West when the general roll is called. Roosevelt's return from Africa will not help. If the administration advisers don't think so, just come out through the West and see a few insurgent ghosts that escaped the eagle eye of Congressman McKinley. It is not impertinent to ask if the Republican party can sacrifice the Negro vote. ALBUQUERQUE NEWS. Mrs. C. N. Bryant was indisposed last week, but is much better at this writing. Rev. Wilkins and the ladies of the Mt. Olive Baptist church are preparing to give another series of concerts, which have been a success since their beginning. Rev. J. P. Howard, the well-known evangelist of Houston, Tex., is in the city again, after a short absence, and will conduct a series of revival meetings at the A. M. E. church. Mr. and Mrs. Maxie and family of El Paso were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Dave Thompson last week. Mrs. Thompson is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Maxie. The Spikes Bros., Johnnie and Reb, the famous musicians, were engaged by the Gen theater last week. They made a "hit" with the people of Albuquerque. Mrs. L. S. Black, the Sunday school superintendent, has organized a Bible class among the young people. Much good can be done for the moral uplift of such teachings. Wm. Winfrey, the barber, created quite a sensation on Third street last Thursday by attempting to shoot a Chinese restaurant keeper. He will be tried in a few days for insanity. Mrs. J. H. Hall of Denver, Colo., joined her husband here last week. She was pleasantly entertained by the Rio Grande Eastern Star chapter. Her remarks to the fraternity were much appreciated. Mrs. Hall is a member of the Eastern Star chapter of Denver. The ladies of the A. M. E. church gave a grand concert and entertainment last Thursday evening. Mrs. L. S. Black, Mr. and Mrs. Brinson, Mr. and Mrs. Thornton, Mrs. Patterson, Mrs. Thompson, Mrs. Martin and Mrs. E. L. Carson, all come in for special mention. The concert was a financial success. TRADES SCHOOL FOR SOUTHERN NEGROES New York, April 20.—Father John C. Burke, director general of the Catholic Board for Mission Work among Colored People, says a great industrial school, modeled on Tuskegee lines, will be established in Alabama or Mississippi. This plan was agreed upon at a meeting of the board held at Cardinal Gibbons' residence in Baltimore more two weeks ago. Father Burke believes the Catholic church should not only take an interest in the spiritual welfare of the race, but should plan for its material welfare also. The board has a considerable amount of money on hand for the project, and this, with the $100, 000 it contemplates raising annually, will be used for the futherance of the educational work among the Negroes of the South. "The Catholic church," says Father Burke," has never been backward, where the salvation of souls was concerned, and that the Fathers have seen fit to launch a new project for the spiritual development of the Negro is but another instance of its desire to leave no stone unturned to give one of God's creatures the benefits of his teachings. The movement will require a lot of time and labor, and we shall cheerfully take up the new burden. A site for the school will be purchased this summer, probably in Alabama. Thirty-Eighth Annual Meeting of the Financial Board of A.M.E. Church. Washington, D. C., April 20. The thirty-eighth annual meeting of the financial board of the African Methodist Episcopal Church was held here today. The annual report of the financial secretary, Rev. Dr. John Hurst showed that the department raised the largest sum in its history $168,540.25, which is an increase of $16,879.91 over last year. Of this money ten per cent. (19,854.03) was turned over to the Board of Church Extension; thirty-six per cent. ($71,474.49) retained by the various annual conferences for the support of superannuated ministers, widows orphans, etc., and the remainder, $891,328.51, kept in the general church treasury for the payment of the salaries of the bishops, general officers, and other general needs of the denomination. Bishop A. Grant, who has been chairman of the board for the past six years, presided. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Cleveland, Ohio.—The Negroes of this city are up in arms over the wholesale dismissal of Negro conductors and motormen. Only one Negro remains, and it is said that he will lose his job soon. The Postmaster-General has issued a "fraud order" against the institution operated by one Justus J. Evans, of 74 Highland street, Boston, under the high-sounding title of "The Holy Trinity Association and the True Light Army." It is said that Mr. Evans sought to raise funds for an alleged colored college by peddling "secrets which will enable you to obtain everlasting success and cause you to inherit prosperity forever and ever." Montgomery, Ala.—The first Negro bank to be opened in Montgomery received $10,350 in cash deposits on its opening day. The officers of the bank are as follows: President, Nathan Alexander; cashier, V. H. Tulane; directors, J. H. Fagin, Dr. A. C. Dungee, Dr. D. H. C. Scott and S. C. Sheppard. The white people of the city seem greatly pleased at the venture, and have assured the officers and directors of their co-operation. Washington, D. C., April 19.—A report published in one of the dailies during the week has caused quite a stir, and as President Taft is considered an uncertain quantity people hardly know whether there is any just grounds for the truthfulness of the story. It, however, says in substance, that President Taft is likely to appoint a white man to the position of register of the Treasury. Just now the position of register of the Treasury is held by William T. Vernon, of Kansas. He will retire in June. For his position several prominent colored men are aspirants. One of them is J. C. Napier, of Nasnville, who is a right hand man to Booker T. Washington. The reappointment of George W. Hays as court crier of the United States Courts at Cincinati, Ohio, gives joy to his many personal friends in the Buckeye State and elsewhere, and is appreciated by the race of the entire country. He was indorsed by the most influential men of both races in the jurisdiction and is worthy of all the NO.33 good things said of him. Mr. Hays has held this responsible position for thirty-eight consecutive years, and has given eminent satisfaction to all with whom he has had dealings, and has taken advantage of every possible opportunity to assist other deserving members of his race—a praiseworthy disposition, to say the least, in this age of selfish leadership. Havana, Cuba, April 25. Great rivalry has cropped out between the three branches of the police of Cuba in arresting Negroes implicated in the Negro political party upheaval. Tque secret police have arrested twenty-five in various parts of the island; the judicial police have made thirty-five arrests and the municipal police have arrested three. General Estenoge, head of the Negro party whose arrest was ordered by President Gomez and his advisors, issued a statement last night in which he declares that in his speeches he has only been advancing the interests of the Negro race and the colored independent party. The pretext of the judicial police that they are arresting Negroes after the discovery of a plot to seize the rural police stations is not taken seriously. NEGRO DEATH RATE BIG. The death rate among the Negroes in this country is far in excess of that of the whites. And that, too, contrary to the fact that before the war the death rate among Negroes was less than that among the whites. The death rate of the colored population ber thousand for 1900 was 29.6, while that of the whites was 17.3. The mortality in country districts is less for both races, but even here the death rate among colored people is in excess of that of white people, being 18 per cent. for the former and 15.4 for the latter. The greatest enemy of the Negro is consumption, there being for 1900., 485 for every 100,000 Negroes. In the tabulations of deaths from consumption the Negroes far exceed the whites. In Boston the death rate among whites from consumption was 378.9 per hundred thousand, against 762.8 among Negroes. These figures of Boston show the relative death rate from consumption also in New York, Baltimore, Philadelphia and the District of Columbia.—Detroit Leader.

PERHAPS we do not properly appreciate the privilege of watching the development of the career of a great man. We stand in awe of the great characters of history and grant them immediate and unquestioned eminence, but we are apt to pass without wonder or reverence the greater achievements of men who tread life's stage in our immediate sight. What man ever delivered a set address in a country not his own and had it cabled in its entirety over the civilized world, before Theodore Roosevelt? Certainly no European king or emperor ever enjoyed such distinction. What man, either in peace or war, ever became such a world figure as he is being made upon the strength of his individual character and his moral reputation as an apostle of peace and free government? History reveals no such another figure among all of its illustrious examples. There have been great kings and rulers, great warriors and statesmen, great philosophers and scientists, but no other man has ever been so universally acclaimed or accorded such wide popular approval because of the principles of government for which he stands. No European statesman, whether ruler or plain citizen, could arouse the enthusiasm in the United States that Mr. Roosevelt has aroused in Europe. In only one place in his pilgrimage has he met disfavor, and that in Egypt where the clash of races is prevalent, and even though he spoke largely the truth. Elsewhere his march has been triumphal, and with his well kept poise of democratic simplicity, it has furnished a spectacle new to the world. SHALL THE CITY BE "WET," OR "DRY"? A GREAT DEAL of good time seems to be wasted in the wrong direction in trying to solve this problem. The truth of the matter is that saloons are like individuals; they are just what you make them. If one-tenth of the energy and one-half of the money that will be spent to cripple the breweries and liquor-dealers had been devoted to the cause of Humanity, much good could have been accomplished. The people are not ready to admit that the wholesale attempt to destroy the business of the brewers and liquor-dealers is right in any sense of the word, or that those who have for years been assisted by those interests are displaying the proper spirit in their over-zealous conduct in trying to do evil for good. There is scarcely a single industry now in existence that does not draw a large sum annually from these people. There are the farmers, the iron manufacturers, the lumbermen, the transportation companies and thousands of laborers, to say nothing of their taxes and contributions for charitable and other purposes. If one is interested in the growth of our city and from what source her revenue cometh, let him not overlook the saloon. It will be a sad day not only for those who are interested in Denver but for the wage earner also. And as for the poor taxpayer, may he be delivered from the burden that will surely fall upon him. In taking this stand we are sure that the people will see that by fairness they can best serve the interest of our city and those who have made it what it is, the cleanest and best city in the West. To throw hundreds out of employment, to satisfy the silly fanatical wave of the coldwater moralists is certainly beyond conception! Let not our minds be disturbed, let us stay on the side whose interest is to see the community prosper. The statistics show that of the entire population of the country 90 per cent. are moderate drinkers, 3 per cent. drunkards, and 7 per cent. temperance. Shall the 7 per cent. say that the 90 per cent. is wrong? Or shall they be made the scape goat for the 3 per cent? Be just and reasonable! LOGIC OF LATE COMPARISONS. OPPONENTS of the new water franchise proposition grow more desperate as the time for the election approaches, and the most extravagant arguments and rate comparisons that can be devised by ingenuity and trickery are flying thick and fast throughout Denver. For more than three months the Denver Union Water Company has been making comparisons of official water rates in force in the principal cities of the United States and inviting verification, refutation or argument upon them, that the people of Denver might become honestly and thoroughly advised of conditions as they really exist; but no challenge has been accepted, no definite denial made of the correctness of the figures given or the truthfulness of the comparisons made. But now when little time is left in which to uncover their deceit with official proof, they make comparisons, of special items, or give partial statements of rates and conditions in such doctored fashion as to make the rates in Denver seem exorbitant beyond reason or toleration. Items are dug up to show that Denver is paying twice as much for water as some other city, of equal population, but the official rate list is never given and details regarding water supply and other governing conditions are carefully avoided. The startling extravagance of these comparisons, coupled with their late production, is sufficient to prove them unreliable, for if the conditions alleged or inferred were true, the reputation of Denver for disreputable jobbery would have been established long ago, and no company of respectable business men could have been induced to invite early comparisons, with existing figures easily obtainable throughout the country. The only honest comparisons of municipal water rates that can be made must include all the uses which local conditions demand, with a fair statement of the total volume of water consumed and the corresponding allowance per capita. It has been shown several times in the columns of The Colorado Statesman, by quotations from official statistics, that the people of Denver consume nearly twice the amount of water per capita that is consumed in a majority of the cities of similar population in the United States. Doubtless a large proportion of this consumption is due to soil conditions which do not exist elsewhere, yet this double supply costs less, upon a fair average, than is paid for half the amount of water in many other cities. When it is alleged that Denver pays twice as much for its water as some other city of similar population is required to pay, a fabrication is not only hidden in the statement, but the difference in the volumes of water consumed as well as the nature of the supply, are carefully kept in the background. The aimlessness of this desperate form of comparison and opposition should not fail to be noted. The opponents of the franchise present no definite alternative proposition by which the people can be assured of better conditions and cheaper rates. The defeat of the franchise proposition will leave the water question in a chaotic state, and doubtless years of expensive experimentation, litigation and legislation would follow and create tax burdens which the taxpayers now have no thought or intention of assuming. The acceptance of the franchise by a majority of the taxpaying voters of Denver next month will immediately dispose of the troublesome water question upon a fair and comprehensive basis, and at the same time take from the figure manipulators and calamity prophets one long-suffering and deeply maligned source of their stock in trade. THE FACTS THAT JOHN RUSH OMITTED. Dear Sir: I notice that our old friend, Mr. John Rush, he of the "fake" tramway company, which was organized for the purpose of "shaking down" the tramway company some four years ago to the tune of anywhere from $1,000,000 to $5,000,000, has undertaken to educate the people upon the water question. Mr. Rush has taken as his authority upon this question the United States census, which is an excellent authority—in fact, there is none better, and I admire his excellent judgment. Mr. Rush, in a signed article in Monday's issue of The Rocky Mountain News, makes the claim that a municipally operated water plant is always a success from a financial standpoint to the tax payer, and he gives a list of thirty-six cities in the United States which have municipal water plants, when bought or built, and the number of years owned by the city. I am not undertaking here to discuss the academic merits or demerits of private or municipal water systems. I will leave that to the long-haired men and the short-haired women who, for the want of nothing else to do are attempting the role of political scientists. What I am particularly interested in is to ascertain which system of operation pays best for the tax payer, and by reference to the very table of the United States census resorted to by Mr. Rush I find that he has been trying to establish his assertion that municipal ownership always pays, by omitting the most important facts found in the census table. Mr. Rush has evidently gone on the theory that a half truth will answer the purpose of a whole falsehood. Of what vital importance is it to the taxpayer to know when certain cities built or bought their water plants and the number of years those plants have been under municipal ownership? What we want to ascertain is, does this list of cities show that a large proportion have found municipal ownership and operation profitable. In Mr. Rush's table he omits the important list of cities that show a deficit in operation expenses, or as the United States Census Bureau expresses it, "Including all costs that would be borne by a privately conducted enterprise and by it charged against income": The list of cities of 100,000 population and over which show a deficit in operation, and the amounts as shown by their last reports are: City. Amount of Deficit. New York. $ 255,600 Philadelphia. 1,807,591 St. Louis. 507,796 Baltimore. 287,240 Pittsburg, Pa. 543,882 Cleveland, Ohio. 339,147 Buffalo. 280,656 Detroit. 7,751 Cincinnati. 391,264 Washington, D. C. 678,843 Newark, N. J. 426,457 Minneapolis, Minn. 153,359 St. Paul, Minn. 219,113 Rochester, N. Y. 159,925 Kansas City. 177,868 Columbus, Ohio 148,152 Memphis, Tenn. 95,020 Syracuse, N. Y. 72,938 Portland, Ore. 74,417 Atlanta, Ga. 88,404 Richmond, Va. 50,557 Nashville, Tenn. 240,907 Dayton, Ohio 36,280 Thus it will be seen that according to the United States Census table, the same table which Mr. Rush has used for his facts, shows that 24 cities out of 36 of a population of 100,000 and over, show an annual deficit in operation expenses ranging from $7,751 in Detroit to $1,807,591 in Philadelphia. In group No. 3, which includes cities of 50,000 to 100,000, twenty-four out of the thirty-four cities show a deficit in operation. The United States Census Bureau, it should not be forgotten, states that this deficit "includes all costs that would be borne by a privately conducted enterprise and by it charged against income." Thus it will be seen that as a straight matter of business the United States Census Bureau tables do not bear out the assertions of Mr. Rush. He has attempted a cheap, despicable deception. The fact should also not be lost sight of that in every one of these cities the taxpayers have had to make up this deficit by just that amount in increased taxation. Municipal operation and ownership has been in operation in all of these cities from 21 years' time to 109 years in Philadelphia, which city shows the largest deficit in the list. If this method of operation was a sure guarantee of profit in operation, surely it should have reached a high state of perfection by this date, but the best authority in the country declares that such is not the case. Mr. Rush should apologize to the taxpayers of Denver for trying to make his half-truth answer the purpose of a whole falsehood. A most excellent sample of falsehood and misrepresentation which the Patterson organs are feeding the public on at the present time in their effort to deceive the people regarding the water franchise was published in the editorial columns of The News on Sunday, April 24. It is as follows: "The Citizens' League plan is clear. It names the men whom it proposes to engage. The Citizens' League plan is comprehensive. It provides a commission fitted to judge the question from the legal, the engineering and business viewpoints. The Citizen's League plan makes for economy, makes for speed, makes for fair negotiation—and TAKES THE WATER PLANT OUT OF POLITICS." As a matter of fact the Citizens' League plan does nothing of the kind. In the first place, it is "not clear." It is framed for the purpose of fooling the voters. Ostensibly it is put forward for the purpose of offering the water company $7,000,000 for its plant, but it contains a little "joker" which gives the commission it creates the right to recommend the issue of bonds in any amount for the building of a water plant should the water company refuse to accept $7,000,000 for its plant, which its authors know well will be refused. Is there anything "clear" about that? "The Citizens' League plan makes for economy," says Mr. Patterson's organ. Let us see about that. Is there any economy in a proposition to build a water plant under the control of a political "machine" controlled by "Old Perplex," such as the Citizens' League amendment proposes to do? Is there any economy in conducting such a plant by a commission which is given the power to hire all the "experts," lawyers and other employees that it may see fit and at such salaries as it chooses to pay? Would there be any economy in this proposition for the taxpayers who would have to pay rates for water at least fifty per cent, higher than at present because of the sinking fund, interest charges, and the horde of political hangers-on who would be attached to the enterprise, a condition of affairs which Mr. Patterson has time and again asserted in his newspapers always pertains under such conditions? Such a plan "makes for speed," says Mr. Patterson's newspaper. As it would mean the tearing up of the streets of Denver for at least five years and possibly a longer time it is difficult to see where there is to be found any "speed" in this plan of settling the water question. "It makes for fair negotiation," says Mr. Patterson's organ. Is there any fairness to be found in a proposition which places the negotiations for the purchase of the present plant in the hands of men who are pledged in advance to offer less than half the amount that a competent board of engineers, after over a year spent in a careful investigation, said over their own signatures was worth over twice the sum named in this Citizens' League amendment? "It names the men whom it proposes to engage," says The News. Another misrepresentation. Mr. Patterson names the men, for he wrote the amendment. Is there anything to invite public confidence in the scheme about that, when one considers the history of "Old Perplex" in the tramway episode of a few years ago when he was engaged with "Clean-Up" John Mushrush in promoting a fake tramway company for the purpose of "shaking down" the present company for several million dollars? "It takes the water plant out of politics," says Mr. Patterson. Let us see about that. Is it taking the plant out of politics to permit it to be under the control of a Patterson commission? Is it taking it out of politics to give that commission power to appoint its own employees with no restrictions regarding number and salaries to be paid? Is it taking it out of politics to put the whole proposition in the control of the most corrupt aggregation of discredited politicians that are in the city at the present time? Mr. Patterson may be deluding himself into the belief that by such absurd statements regarding the Citizens' League amendments as the above extract, he is deceiving the people as to their true purpose. We can positively assure him, however, that these false and misleading statements are deceiving no one. They are such apparent falsehoods that they will not be taken seriously by even the most stupid who cares to waste the time to read them.

Magnificent Structure at Messina Rapidly Being Destroyed by the Elements. The cathedral of Messina, which was greatly damaged by the great earthquake, has been neglected to such an extent that its ruins are in a worse state at present than they were immediately after the disaster. Thus the traces of the Romanesque and Gothic periods of the original building, which fires and earthquakes had spared, have now disappeared. Many of the choir stalls designed by Giorgio Veneziano in 1540, and considered excellent specimens of artistic wood carving and inlaid work, have been irrevocably damaged from exposure to the sun and rain, as tarpaulin to cover them was only provided six months after the earthquake. The magnificent cliborium of gilt bronze and different colored marbles on the high altar is covered by ordinary sheets, which do not afford a sufficient protection against the weather; besides it weighs on the ceiling of the crypt, which is flooded with every rain and threatens to collapse. Deputy Nava, who represents the province of Messina in parliament, says that $12,000 is needed to repair the cathedral provisionally and save the artistic treasures it contains, but although $20,000,000 has so far been spent in building wooden houses and clearing the streets of the ruined city the cathedral has been entirely forgotten, despite the fact that it is one of the most important churches in Sicily and state property. THE DENVER SAFE DEPOSIT CO. GEN. J. W. DENVER DENVER, COLO. Few Use World's Cables. Less than one per cent. of the public has occasion to make use of the world's cables. Brightness in the Home. Don't be afraid of a little fun at home. Don't shut your house lest the sun fade your carpets, and your hearts lest a hearty laugh shake down some of the musty old cobwebs there. If you want to ruin your sons, let them think that all mirth and social enjoyment must be left on the threshold without when they come home at night. Young people must have fun and relaxation somewhere. If they do not find it at their own hearthstones it will be sought at other less profitable places. Don't repress the buoyant spirits of your children; half an hour's merriment around the lamp and fireside of home blots out the remembrances of many a care and annoyance during the day, and the best safeguard they can take with them into the world is the influence of a bright little domestic sanctum.

If more women realized that straining the eyes produces wrinkles, more would exercise a proper care of these valuable members. Reading by a dim or failing light, coming suddenly from a dark room to a light one, or vice versa, overworking the eyes in any way, and last, but by no means least, wearing dotted and cross-barred vells—these and more taxing of the eyesight are of valuable assistance in the wrinkle-making process. A. Curious Transaction A curious transaction. A man found a ten-dollar bill. He paid the grocer and took a receipt. The grocer paid the real estate agent the money for rent. The agent paid the ten dollars to the man who owned the property, who happened to be the man who lost the bill. He deposited the bill in the bank and it was returned to him as a counterfeit.

ROOTS THAT NEEDED SOAKING Pat at Least Told the Exact Truth in His Application for Whisky. The town of Dedham is under prohibition law, apothecaries alone being permitted to sell alcoholic stimulants. The other day a son of the Emerald Isle entered a drug store there, and, taking a bottle from his pocket, asked for a quart of whisky. The salesman asked to what use it was to be put, and the reply was: "To soak roots in it." The order was filled, and the clerk, after handing over the bottle and its contents, inquired, in a conversational manner: "What kind of roots are you going to soak?" Pocketing the bottle, the customer said: "The roots of my tongue, be jabers!" —Argonaut Storyette (1886). Good Illustration.

Solomon and Moses, while walking by the canal, saw a notice board which stated that five shillings would be paid to whoever rescued another man from drowning. It didn't take them more than a minute to arrange that one should fall in and be saved by the other, and the "stakes" divided. In went Sol, and found it rather deeper than he expected. However, he splashed about, crying: "Come on, Moses! Save me!" Moses hesitated. "Sol," he said, "I've been reading that notice board again, and it says, 'Ten shillings for a dead body.' Now, do be reasonable."—London Tit-Bits. Evidently Not. They had met at Bluepoint, L. I. two years before and were celebrating it by a little dinner at a cafe. "I shall never forget how we became acquainted," he was saying. "So romantic. In swimming. That was when I first saw you. You went into three feet of water and got frightened. I rescued you from a watery grave and we were friends at once." He called the waiter. "Bring me the wine list," he said, explaining. "Because we began our acquaintance in a watery way, it needn't always be watery." POSTUM FOR MOTHERS The Drink That Nourishes and Supplies Food for Mother and Child. "My husband had been unable to drink coffee for several years, so we were very glad to give Postum a trial and when we understood that long boiling would bring out the delicious flavour, we have been highly pleased with it. "It is one of the finest things for nursing mothers that I have ever seen. It keeps up the mother's strength and increases the supply of nourishment for the child if partaken of freely. I drank it between meals instead of water and found it most beneficial. "Our five-year-old boy has been very delicate since birth and has developed slowly. He was white and bloodless. I began to give him Postum freely and you would be surprised at the change. When any person remarks about the great improvement, we never fall to tell them that we attribute his gain in strength and general health, to the free use of Postum and this has led many friends to use it for themselves and children. "I have always cautioned friends to whom I have spoken about Postum, to follow directions in making it, for unless it is boiled fifteen or twenty minutes, it is quite tasteless. On the other hand, when properly made, it is very delicious. I want to thank you for the benefits we have derived from the use of your Postum." Read "The Road to Wellville," found in nkgs. "There's a Reason." Ever read the above letter? A new one appears from time to time. They are genuine, true, and full of human interest. For Gala Costumes Dainty Accessories That Will Gladden the Heart of the Youthful Wearer WASH ribbons are wide or narrow, but in either width a made sash is far preferable to a tied one, for once ribbon is mussed it loses its charm entirely. A charming sash, or girdle rather, for a commencement frock of white bordered chiffon was made of this bordering, folded closely to the figure and completed at the back with an oval rosette made only of the wide satin stripe of the bordering. A sash for a dress of pale blue dotted point d'esprit was made of rows of blue baby ribbon, sewed on a wide bias strip of the net. At the left-front this wide belting crossed over and was there finished, with a fall that went to the knees, of strands of the baby ribbon cut in uneven lengths and tied with scattered bunches of the ribbon, like the fall of a wedding bouquet. A petticoat flounce of swiss, arranged to button on a lawn upper portion, is a delightful luxury for a girl's dance frock. Such flounces are made so that there is absolutely nofulness at the top, which comes somewhat above the knees, but at the bottom they are fluffed with a widening of the cut and under and edging frills of either the swiss or net or lace. With the more delicate effects there are also, sometimes, garlands of ribbon, caught up with bows. A jumper and tunic of chiffon, ribbon-edged, is a ready-made decking which will make the home sewing of a stylish frock a very easy matter, for the merest satin slip is made at once a thing of splendor with one of these overdraperies. The sweet foolies, whose jumper part is low necked and short sleeved, are shown in all colors—pale blue, pink, rose, white and black—yea even black!—being advised for the most elegant purposes. Stylish mothers sometimes buy these tunics and then get figured foulard at 40 or 50 cents a yard for the under slip. Chiffon and silk muslin roses are exquisite notions for misses' fine hats, but only one or two of the great blooms will be used, and the rest of the hat trimming is correspondingly fragile. A half wreath, comprising a big rose which is more white than pink, some feathery green and a long rubber stemming ending with a bud which is like a fairy thing, is sold (twisted in the shape to put on) for $3.50. Such posies are for hats of drawn net or lace or very fine straw, and they would make any headpiece glorious. Some very dashing stockings for dancing or other dressy purposes are of fine white lisle with colored clocks or instep embroidery. The smart caper is to have the shoes or slippers match the color of the needlework on the stockings, and where this is bronze, bronze kid footgear gives a look at once grand and Parisian. The most stylish slippers for girls who have passed the child age have one strap, medium heels, rounded toes and pump bows of grosgrain ribbon across the vamp. The strap, the shoe man explains, gives a girl more security of footing while dancing, and, besides, it serves to dress the foot up more, for such slippers are often worn outdoors with fine afternoon frocks. Misses' handkerchiefs are very small, and the very elegant ones have a tiny monogram placed in a small wreath of needlework. Handkerchiefs with borders stamped with color are worn with fine day frocks, the tint of the border matching the gown. Hats Veiled With Tulle. There was a disposition on the part of the milliners last summer to cover all hats with a full layer of tulle or malline. It took to a certain degree. One saw it here and there among fashionable hats. It has appeared again. One sees quantities of hats veiled with tulle, covering wings, roses, bows and scarfs. In Stylish Garb 10 THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY THE dress at the left is of white quisette, made with fine tucks and trimmed with wide lace insertion, which also forms the collar. The sash and knots are of soft ribbon. The other dress is of soft white satin. It forms a long blouse and tiny Fans of painted wood, made after the manner of the old ivory wind makers, are displayed by some of the better shops for graduation presents. These are extremely small, with the painting of the dainty French figures on both sides, and the price marked on the ticket something to take the breath away. But then, as the salesman tells you, a girl graduates only once, and such a charming treasure may be handed down for generations. They imitate fans used by beauties of the sixteenth century. With the pretty Dutch collars of elaborate nature designed for the best bib and tucker, a black velvet band may be worn about the throat by a girl of 16 and over. No ornament appears at the front of this, but at the back the band may be fastened with one or two enamelled studs. Prudence Standish EMBROIDERY PUT UPON LACE Dainty French Idea That Involves Work, But Is Well Worth the Time It Takes. Upon some of the most exquisite French underwear there is a copyable little note for the deft-fingered women of our needlework guild. Heavy motifs of embroidery ornament valenciennes lace. They appear upon the cross section of the nightdress, the chemise and the corset cover; also upon those strips passing over the shoulder, and again on the lace drawer ruffles. Several strands of white untwisted cotton are used for this work, and the pattern of the lace is usually selected as the design—that is, some single motif or spray of blossom and leaf is set in exactly the proper place when the garment is made, so that it may be made more prominent by this enriching process. "Painting the illy," you will suggest, this putting of embroidery upon lace; but it is recommended, as is all extra effort, to the persistent embroiderer who does not hesitate to involve herself in a vast amount of work. Tinsel Cloth for Bridge Bags. The latest development in bridge bags is of perfectly square shape and can readily be made by an inexperienced person. A width of novelty open-work mesh tinsel cloth which comes in both silver and gold, is first lined with a delicate tone of blue, rose or green taffeta or satin, the side and top edges firmly buttoned together with twist and then finished with a fancy edging of heavy silver or gold thread. Bullion braid, knotted into five balls, ornaments the lower edge of the bag, which is closed with braid draw strings finished with bullion tassels Hats Veiled With Tulle. There was a disposition on the part of the milliners last summer to cover all hats with a full layer of tulle or maline. It took to a certain degree. One saw it here and there among fashionable hats. It has appeared again. One sees quantities of hats veiled with tulle, covering wings, roses, bows and scarfs. A skirt with sash of china satin. The blouse is trimmed with a wide band of madeira embroidery, a narrower band of which forms the heading to the braided ruffle of the material, which is also used as an ornament for the low neck. Papa—Ruthie, I shouldn't be surprised if God would send you a little baby brother before long. What would you think of that? Ruthie—Oh, papa! I think it would be perfectly lovely. And say, papa, let's you and me keep it a surprise for mamma.—Life. The World's Volcanoes. There are 270 active volcanoes in the world, many of them being comparatively small.

Stop Women And Consider This Fact that in addressing Mrs. Pinkham you are confiding your private ills to a woman—a woman whose experience with women's diseases covers twenty-five years. The present Mrs. Pinkham, daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham, was for years under her direction, and has ever since her decease continued to advise women. Many women suffer in silence and drift along from bad to worse, knowing well that they ought to have immediate assistance, but a natural modesty causes them to shrink from exposing themselves to the questions and probable examinations of even their family physician. Such questioning and examination is unnecessary. Without cost you can consult a woman whose knowledge from actual experience is great. MRS. PINKHAM'S STANDING INVITATION: Women suffering from any form of female weakness are invited to promptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn Mass. All letters are received, opened, read and answered by women. A woman can freely talk of her private illness to a woman; thus has been established this confidence between Mrs. Pinkham and the women of America which has never been broken. Never has she published a testimonial or used a letter without the written consent of the writer, and never has the company allowed these confidential letters to get out of their possession, as the hundreds of thousands of them in their files will attest. Out of the vast volume of experience which Mrs. Pinkham has to draw from, it is more than possible that she has gained the very knowledge needed in your case. She asks nothing in return except your good will, and her advice has helped thousands. Surely any woman, rich or poor, should be glad to take advantage of this generous offer of assistance.

The Overland The King of Cars No other car has so lar made such amazing records ther car has so large a sale th amazing records. Price, $ No other car has so large a sale—none has made such amazing records. Price, $1,000 up. It requires four factories, employing 4,000 men—turning out 140 Overlands daily—to meet the flood-like demand for these cars. Yet two years ago a hundred rivals had a larger sale. The reason lies largely in the car's utter simplicity. Its able designer made it almost trouble-proof. He created an engine which, for endurance, is the marvel of engineering. He designed the pedal control. One goes forward or backward, slow or fast, by merely pushing pedals. The hands have nothing to do but steer. A child can master the car in ten minutes. A novice can drive it a thousand miles without any thought of trouble. The Overland always keeps going, and almost cares for itself. All the usual complexities have been eliminated. That is why each car sells others, and our orders for this year's Over- lands amount to $24,000,000. $1,000 to $1,500.—According to size, style and power --- Is the specific remedy for that tired feeling, because this great medicine purifies, enriches and revitalizes the blood.

If Prohibition become a law at the next election—May 17—thirty days after that date, the sale, barter, exchange or gift of liquor in any form not prescribed by law, will be absolutely prohibited in every section of the city. This means not only the wiping out of 472 regulated and licensed saloons, but it means that hotels, restaurants, clubs, and every other institution will be positively barred from ordering, serving or selling liquors in any form. Not until this series of announcements is run in the Denver newspapers and carefully read, will the people of this city begin to realize the danger which this movement threatens to every taxpayer, every family, every home, every business. Shall the present order of things be dangerously revolutionized; shall the blind pig and the evil, clandestine dram shop take the place of the regulated and licensed saloon; or shall the citizens of Denver work out the city's own betterment along safe and sane lines? Shall thousands of men be thrown out of work; wages be lowered; and millions of dollars in property be destroyed; shall 500 or more stores be thrown on the renting market, thereby demoralizing real estate values; shall Denver pass through the worst condition of "hard times" in its history? Or will the voters of Denver awake to the situation before it is too late? In an unprejudiced manner, these questions will be met and answered in this series of announcements with figures pointing out to every fair-minded citizen the serious importance of this movement. Because of your daily responsibilities to yourself and your family because of your love for independent government; because of your American spirit of rebellion against "Blue Law" Legislation, the United States Manufacturers & Merchants Association urges you to read carefully and ponder long over the articles about to appear.
