LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP Of Water Plants are Branded as Financial Failures by the United States Census Bureau--A Burden to Tax Payers in the Operation and Keeping up Such a Plant. VOL. XVI. MUNICIPAL OWN Of Water Plants are Branded the United States Cent to Tax Payers in Keeping up Is municipal ownership of water systems a success? The answer to this question depends upon whether you are holding a political office in a city that owns its own water plant, or are in the position of a disinterested observer of conditions under municipal ownership. The politicians who are interested in water systems with few exeptions declare that they are gloriously successful. An impartial observer like the statisticians employed by the United States Census Bureau to make accurate reports on municipally operated enterprises declares they are not. The Census Bureau statisticians have no personal interest in the cities upon which they report. The latest bulletin of the Census Bureau contains reports on 158 cities that own their own water systems. Eighty of these cities are credited with populations of more than 50,000. Of the eighty having 50,000 or more inhabitants 48 are branded financial failures by the government's official report. They show deficits over the ordinary expenses of operation that would be borne by a private plant ranging anywhere from $7,751 to $1,807,-591. These deficits are exclusive of the cost of extensions and additions that must be made to every water system from year to year and which if they were included would increase the shortage materially. The following table shows the deficit reported by the Census Bureau for the largest of the cities: Amount of Deficit. New York. $ 255,600 Philadelphia. 1,807,591 St. Louis. 507,796 Baltimore. 287,240 Pittsburg, Pa. 543,882 Cleveland, O. 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, O. 148,152 Memphis, Tenn. 95,020 Syracuse, N. Y. 72,988 Portland, Ore. 74,417 Atlanta, Ga. 88,404 Richmond, Va. 50,557 Nashville, Tenn. 240,907 Dayton, O. 36,280 Municipal ownership has been in operation in these cities for varying periods ranging from seven years in Memphis, Tennessee, to 109 years in Philadelphia, which city shows the largest deficit in the list. If municipal ownership was a guarantee of successful and profitable operation of a public utility, surely it should have reached a high state of perfection in the time it has been on trial. The people of Denver have been told that the cities that operate their own water systems do so in a manner so successful that the systems produce sufficient revenue to pay all cost of operation and maintenance and provide all funds necessary for improvements, extensions and additions required from year to year by every water plant. These eclaims are not borne out by the Census Bureau reports which show that the cities that operate their own water systems have heavy bonded debts for the account of the water department. In many cases the interest on the bonded debt is paid out of the funds obtained through general taxation instead of out of the receipts of the water department. In this manner the political heads of the water system fool the people into believing that they are getting water at low rates, whereas if the truth was known they are paying a far higher rate than would be the case under private ownership. The following table shows the bonded indebtedness for the account of the water department in some of the largest cities: DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MAY 7 1910. State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House xt Issue ADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, Rochester, N. I. 3,750,000 Los Angeles, Cal. 4,606,300 The taxpayers must pay interest on these indebtednesses, pay for the cost of extensions and betterments of the system which are not included in the expenses in the first table, and make up any other deficit that may develop. The money must be forthcoming whether it comes from water rates or tax levies. No citizen in any city operating its own water plant can tell what his water actually costs him. Municipal funds are transferred from one fund to another so easily that the people cannot keep track of the expenditures. THE AMENDMENTS With the campaign about over except the counting of the votes about the only noise heard is from the "Reformers' ranks" in a wild endeavor to locate the numerous amendments to the city charter about which so much has been said recently. The action of the aldermen in endorsing a form of ballot locating the bunch of amendatory misfits, seems to be causing "Rush et al.," much uneasiness. There is some solace to the great body of voters in reading the Republican platform; they are relieved from the obscuring presence of the amendments. The Republican and Democratic leaders treat the water question as a great business proposition entirely outside the political arena. The water question belongs to all the people, as the "wet and dry" amendments. Both are questions to be decided not in the heat of a political campaign but in the calm quiet of your homes. The business men of Denver, (and we mean, the men who have made the city, and not the vociferous wind-jamers, whose strident tones are heard above the "voice of the turtle" of prosperity) are busy making it plain to the people what to do to make a bigger and better town. The idea is to keep these motley amendments where they will do the least harm and put the reins of government in the hands of business men. Then watch Denver grow. Then the colored man will get his share along with all the people. TEXAS AGAIN. There is always something doing down in Texas. If they are not landing the poor Negro, they are busy with the gun, faggot and rope. Last week Texas told the world that the story of "the black mamy" was the real genuine article and the city of Galveston would erect a mounment to her memory. It was not to be a tame, skimpy affair, but five hundred thousand dollars of fine marble, exquisite workmanship and cement should bear lasting testimony to the "black many" whose ample bosom nourished the sons and daughters of the southland. It's a beautiful theme upon which to contemplate, and we doubt not but that every Negro who reads the cheering news did not feel a pardonable pride in the color that never fades. But —! Have you heard from Coleman, Texas? What a wildly weird story of human depravity and hatred. Driven from home and employment. Yet Texas has the temerity to censure Russia. RACE PREJUDICE AT OBERLIN. Letters of Protest From All Over the Country Pouring Into College—College Officials Admit Discrimination—Institution Has Heretofore Been Known for Broadness. Oberlin, O., April 26.—Prejudice against Negroes has grown strong among the undergraduates of Oberlin College, and Negro students have been barred from the privileges of the literary, social and secret societies, and are even barred from the church choir. In the athletic teams it is the same. College boarding houses will no longer permit Negroes to eat at the tables with white students. Old alumni can hardly believe it, and indignation meetings are being held by graduates throughout the state. Letters of protest are pouring into the college town. Professors and college officers admit that race prejudice has become strong. Oberlin College, a Congregational institution, has up to this term always been a strong friend of the Negro. It was an "underground railroad" station during the Civil war. Many Negroes have settled in the town because of the friendly feeling toward them, and heretofore they have been received with open arms as students and enjoyed all the privileges of whites. NEGRO BABY GETS A $5,250 VERDICT. Lawyer Holds Her in His Arms and Shows Jury Scars Accident Caused. Edith V. Agee, an eighteen months old baby, got a verdict recently for $5,250 for a fractured skull, received while in the arms of her mother, a passenger on a Columbia & Puget Sound train, October 1, 1909. The mother, Mrs. Mary Agee, was awarded damages for lesser injuries in the sum of $1,500. The baby received all that was asked, while the mother asked for $2,200 and received $1,500. Edward Agee, the father of the child, is a negro barber at Coal Creek, a hamlet near Newcastle. The accident in which the damages were received happened while the train was standing near Black River Junction. An engine belonging to the Milwaukee railway backed into it at a fair rate of speed. The baby was hurled against the side off the car with such force that its skull was fractured, and it was only after careful surgical attention that it was nursed back to health. Walter S. Fulton, attorney for the plaintiff, took the little one in his arms and showed the jury the great scars on her head, while the baby smiled blandly at the strange faces before her. This is the first damage case in the King County Superior Court in some years in which the plaintiff has been awarded by the jury the full amount of damages claimed. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Horace Hemsley, colored, aged 85, who died in Boston recently, had been a waiter for the past 50 years and is said to have left $100,000. The only colored drivers of teams at the Boston horse show each won first prize, Mr. G. W. White, driver of pair of heavies, and Mr John Thomas, driver of team of three heavies. Four of the Negro banks in Alabama received in deposits in one day $25,523.60 The ripple of prosperity is reaching the furthest banks and we wonder when it will strike these shores. Willie Hammerstein, manager of the Victoria Theatre, has offered Champion Jack Johnson booking for a two weeks' engagement at $3,000 a week, commencing the week of July 11. Well known theatrical manager must know something. Out of 300 applicants who appeared before the Board of Engineers in Philadelphia last week, for license to operate steam stationary engines in that city, Walter B. Johnson, who is only 21 years old led his white opponents in the examination and received the highest percentage. The two hundred Negro pupils of the Henrietta Evening Trade School of the Children's Aid Society have opened an exposition where women's hats and gowns, embroideries and other handiwork are displayed. The school is the only trade school in New York City conducted for the instruction of Negroes. Demonstrations will be given Wednesday and Thursday evenings. Havana, April 25—On motion of a Negro member the House of Representatives has adopted a resolution asking the President to inform the House how many Negroes had been dismissed from the army in the course of the last week, and the reasons for their dismissal. The Manassas, Va., Colored Industrial School has just announced the receipt of donations aggregating $50,000. This sum includes $18,000 from Andrew Carnegie, $12,000 from persons in New York City and the balance from persons NO.34 throughout the Northern, Central Southern states. This money the institution will devote to building purposes and other improvements. Montgomery, Ala., April 26. Something out of the ordinary happened in this city recently, something that indicates progress. A Negro by the name of Benjamin Hooks shot to death two white men, Robert W. Bean and Henry L. Brady, money lenders. It seems that these two white men went to Hooks' house and abused his wife while he was absent. Hooks heard from neighbors that his wife was being abused by two men and went to his house, got a shotgun and killed both of the white men. It is said that the two money-lending sharks had been charging the Negro and his family interest at the rate of 331.3 per cent. a month. Although they were shot down by Hooks, the sheriff and the citizens of Montgomery gave him protection. When the facts became known, public sentiment changed in favor of Hooks. There was no attempt at lynching, and the Negro will have a legal trial. New Orleans, La., April 26. The Negroes of New Orleans are disappointed over the fact that Charles C. Palfrey a white man, has been nominated by President Taft to take the position of Receivers of Public Monies in place of A. B. Kennedy, who has filled the position for a number of years. With the removal of Mr. Kennedy there remains but a single Negro holding a Presidential office in the State of Louisiana. The last of the Monicans in this case is the Hon. Walter L. Cohen, who still retains the position of Register of the Land Office. It is stated that Mr. Kennedy is to be given or has been a clerkship in some department. No reason is given out as to the grounds upon which Mr. Kennedy has been removed, who had the reputation of being a tiptop official, and no complaint so far as your correspondent can gather was lodged against the official conduct of his office. It is stated upon what seems to be good authority that Charles Palfrey, who has been appointed to take Mr. Kennedy's place, was a collegiate of President Taft at Yale University, and the President promised him sometime ago that he would take care of him in some position, hence the removal of the colored man, Mr. Kennedy. ```markdown ``` Phone 2449.

Haskell of Oklahoma and five business men of Muskogee in the Creek Indian town lot cases was called in the Federal Court at Tulsa Monday. Unallotted lands in four Indian reservations were opened to entry Monday. The reservations are the Standing Rock, in North and South Dakota, Cheyenne River, in South Dakota, Flat Head, in Montana, and Coeur d'Alene in Idaho. Amid excitement in the Cheyenne City Council, Mayor P. S. Cook, Republican, Tuesday night declared the seats of H. E. Gates, Democrat, and Henry Sweet, Republican, vacant, on the ground that these aldermen had removed from their wards. Dr. Frederick H. Milliner, experimental engineer of the Union Pacific has received orders to begin immediately the installation of his system of railway wireless telegraph on the Union Pacific. The first stations are to be at Sidney, Neb., and Cheyenne Wyo. In a wedding so quiet and devoid of any publicity as to excite comment, Mrs. Ruth Bryan-Leavitt, eldest daughter of William J. Bryan, was married Tuesday at Lincoln to Lieut. Reginald A. Owen of the Royal engineers corps of the British army, stationed in Jamaica. Harrassed by claim jumpers, who have threatened her life, Mrs. Leona M.

Present danger of a rate war on automobile insurance in Chicago was everted Tuesday by the continuance of a former agreement. John L. Beveridge, who served four terms as governor of Illinois, beginning in 1875 died Tuesday at his home in Hollywood, Calif. Forty thousand miners in the soft coal district around Pittsburg will go to work as a result of a settlement of the controversy there. While ten policemen surrounded his house in St. Louis in an effort to arrest him for wife beating, John Briscoe shot and killed his wife and himself. The will of Samuel L. Clemens (Mark Twain), filed for probate at Redding, Conn., Tuesday leaves the entire estate to the surviving daughter, Clara Lanachorne Clemens, wife of Ossip Gabrielowitch. The amount of the estate is not given.

Mallory, Mallory ran on a state-wide prohibition platform. "That the farms of the United States are not producing half what they should because of a lack of practical education among the farmers" was the reason of the high cost of living offered by Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson in an address Tuesday night at the Farmers' Union.

The most famous scientists of England and many scientists and explorers from abroad were present. A test that was carried out Sunday shows it is possible to diagnose heart troubles by telephone a distance of 100 miles. The experiment was conducted between Mr. Milne's house on the Isle of Wight, where the seismologist and four physicians, using an ordinary telephone, listened to the beating of a woman's heart in London. A stethoscope, held over the heart, in the familiar manner, was attached to a telephone by means of which sounds are magnified. SPORT. Sam Berger, Jeffries' manager, left Ben Lomond Sunday night for San Francisco, to be present at the posting of the $30,000 additional purse money, for the big fight. The money will be deposited with a San Francisco bank and later will be sent to Stakeholder Tim Sullivan of New York. The New York Senate Tuesday amended the Agnew bill prohibiting the publication of betting odds so as to make it apply solely to bookmaking on horse races. As introduced the bill was interpreted to include in its prohibition betting odds on boat races, football, baseball and amateur sports. Opposition to the Jeffries-Johnson prizefight, following the death of Tommy McCarthy, San Francisco pugilist, as the result of a fight with Owen Moran at San Francisco early Saturday morning, took form Sunday in a statewide movement of clergymen to prevent the holding of the championship fight July 4. Prizefighting was denounced from scores of pulpits and in many cases definite beginnings of a campaign to be taken up this week were made. Cutting his way through a mass of 20,000 cheering people, his white locks bared to the breeze and his shuffling feet keeping time to the strains of the "Star Spangled Banner," Edward Payson Weston on Monday brought to a triumphant end his ocean-to-ocean walk. He ascended the steps of the city hall at 3:10 p. m., completing the transcontinental journey of 3,583 miles in seventy-seven walking days, a feat without parallel in the annals of pedestrians. His original programme was to make it in ninety days. WASHINGTON. The contract for the Denver postoffice was awarded to the Heddon company of New York, who will use Colorado marble.

The Court of Claims Monday rendered a decision holding that a certain line of tax collections on legacies made as a result of legislation enacted to carry on the Spanish American war should be refunded. The decision means the return to the taxpayers of about $5,000,000. The House Monday passed a bill which, if not amended in the Senate, will permit the President to place army engineers in charge of any project, including those for recamation of arid lands.

C.-The House passed the bill granting towns in Colorado right to purchase public lands at $1.25 an acre for public park purposes as follows: Glenwood Springs, 640 acres; Rifle, 320; Grand Valley, 320; Meeker, 230; Steamboat Springs, 640; De Beque, 40; Collbran, 40; Montrose, 240; Olathe, 80; Gunnison, 320; Pitkin, 240; Durango, 640; Dolores, 160; La Veta, 640. The bill provides that the lands shall be used for park purposes only and shall not be sold by the towns or cities. Fatal Feud in Jackson County. Walden.—Pollitely hailing Alfred Law, a lawyer, and editor of the New Era, with the words, "Wait, Mr. Law," J. N. Davis, an old resident of the North Park, aimed a revolver at Law and shot him through the right lung. Tuesday. The wound may result fatally, as his physicians could not say whether Law could recover. He has a wife and two children. After shooting Law, Davis turned the revolver on himself and blew out his brains. It was the culmination of a long-standing quarrel between the two men, which was intensified by statements recently printed in the New Era by Law, reflecting on Davis. About a month ago Davis was displaced as engineer in the city water plant by A. N. Siebert. This enraged him. Soon afterward Siebert had trouble getting water into the standpipe and the town went dry. It was discovered that somebody had tampered with the valve in the pipe line. Law published a statement and editorial in which he declared that if Davis had not tampered with it, his friends made it look suspicious for him. These and other similar statements caused the tragedy. Big Tract to Be Developed. Denver. The state land board has practically decided to accept the proposition made by W. A. Colt calling for the reclamation of 75,000 acres of rich but at present dry land in Otero and Bent counties. The average price to be paid the state will be $10 an acre at the minimum.

IN THE approaching election the Republican city ticket represents the solid thought and purpose of the keenest, wisest and most conservative elements of our citizenship. It promises not only an economical and rational conduct of municipal affairs through the acts of competent boards and councils, but it looks to the adoption of policies which will promote the future welfare of the city and its citizens. The progress of the city does not depend upon the ability of its officials to spend money so much as it does upon their ability to plan and execute economical improvements and conserve the people's interests through the fair distribution of tax levies and the reasonable protection and extension of commercial and business interests., together with a fair regard for the personal liberties of all of its citizens. Throughout all the many administrations which the Republican party has given to Denver, it has never been sensational, never erratic, never incompetent. It still believes in that same wise and conservative brand of progress. It would give the firemen and policemen better pay and cut out enough of wastefulness and extravagance in other quarters to make other progressive reforms possible. It would carry on necessary public improvements without making the burden upon the taxpayer so immediately exacting as to place the city's welfare above that of its citizens. We believe that the time is ripe for Republican success, and that these promises will be well realized. The Colorado Statesman further believes that no radical effort to make Denver an absolutely dry town is well advised. As a city of wide and extensive commercial interests, as a railroad center, as the natural objective point of thousands of tourists and as the home of thousands of more of citizens whose diversified habits and beliefs cannot be guaged by drastic prohibition, we believe that the best interests of the city and its citizens will be conserved by a wise and strict enforcement of the license laws. THE DRAGON WITHIN the next one week you are liable to meet strange things and have strange experiences whenever you chance to go out upon the streets of Denver, and if you do not go into the street during that time, it will be well if you keep your doors locked and bolted if you would escape an invasion of a monstrous apparition right in your home, where you imagine yourself protected and secure. A dragon hatchery has been established in the central part of the city, and the great scaly, sharp-clawed, fiery-eyed monsters are being let loose to run at will throughout the city limits. If you see a morning or evening paper on your door-step with big red headlines on it, shake it well before you open it, for a dragon is apt to be concealed in its folded pages. Every time you turn the water spiggot for a supply of nature's sparkling liquid, have an ax or a hammer ready to hit the first slimy head that protrudes from the pipes that have heretofore supplied you with the purest of filtered beverages. For this is the fantastic, but hideous garb in which the over-ardent enemies of the Denver Union Water Company have dressed the new water franchise proposition, on which the people are to vote at the coming city election. Fire-brand oratory and redlettered journalism furnish the glare that flashes from the monster's eyes and the steam that hisses from its distended nostrils. It is intended to frighten you and to make you believe that an agent of the water company is calling on you in this form to make you sign a contract for the increase of your water charges. But the thing is counterfeit. It needs no King George to save you from its hideous clutches, for you have but to puncture it with a spear made out of a sensibly prepared sample ballot and it will explode and collapse with a gasp, and the falsehoods, malice, deceit, crooked comparisons of water rates and red fire with which it is inflated, will run out and waste themselves in the light of Truth. The common sense and intelligence of the people of Denver are being imposed upon and discounted by the professional prestidigitators and figure jugglers who are so anxious for a chance to secure a long engagement at the people's expense. The bewilderment of the people is the natural result at which they aim, for under such circumstances it means money in their pockets. For what a chaotic harvest of political legerdemain will prevail if they can but induce the people to destroy the peaceful conditions now existing. The bugbear arguments of fanatics or schemers should not weigh much against the practical judgment and foresight of an intelligent population. The property holders of Denver are already loaded down with the expenses of legitimate municipal obligations, and it would be folly for them to voluntarily subscribe to heavier burdens, from which they can easily and more reasonably escape. Under an extension of the water franchise, the average property holder in Denver will pay about $150 for a twenty years' water supply. Under any change advocated by the dragon makers, he is certain to be required to pay a total tax near to $500 for the same period. This is the true and ultimate meaning of municipal ownership. The claim is being made that Denver can be supplied with water cheaper than any city on the American continent, because it is so situated that a gravity system may be used in which it is necessary only to let the water run down hill. This claim is being made simply to fool the voters and mislead them for political purposes. Denver positively can not be supplied with water through a system depending exclusively upon gravity for pressure, as cheaply or as satisfactorily as by a combined gravity and pumping system. If Denver were so situated that it had an ample supply of water available within the city limits it could be supplied by an exclusive pumping system at a much lower cost than by either a direct gravity or a combined gravity and pumping system. Water, to be supplied under pressure, does not run down hill on top of the ground as the persons who argue for the economy of a gravity system aim to make the people believe. It must be conveyed in conduits so much more costly than a pumping plant that the cost of operation always is far higher than with a pumping plant furnishing the same quantity of water obtained near at hand that, in a gravity system, must be conveyed a great distance. The city of Buffalo, New York, furnishes a good example of the difference that would be presented in the cost of operation between a gravity and pumping system. That city obtains its water pressure from a pumping plant. The capacity of the plant, which is built under one roof, on the bank of the Niagara river, within 900 feet of the intake crib, is 202 million gallons daily. The plant cost $1,100,000. The plant cost $142,000. In 1908, the last year for which an official report is available, the total cost of operation of the pumping plant, including wages, fuel, repairs, etc., was $257,526, and the annual interest on the cost of the plant, at four per cent, $44,000, making a total expense of $301,526. To provide a gravity system for the city of Buffalo that would bring the same amount of water to the distributing system within the city that is now provided by the pumping plant, if the construction was the cheapest, would involve an expenditure of at least $10,000,000. The annual interest on such equipment would be, at four per cent., $400,000. This is exclusive of the distributing system within the city and exclusive of the cost of operation and maintenance of the conduit lines and head works. That this figure is conservative is proven by the experience of other cities, including Denver. The Massachusetts Metropolitan Water Commission a number of years ago was organized to provide a gravity water system for Boston and a number of small neighboring cities having a population, all told, of about 800,000. These cities consume jointly about twice as much water a year as Denver consumes, and about three-fourths as much as the city of Buffalo consumes. This gravity plant has cost, to date, $40,000,000. The reservoirs connected with it have about twice the capacity of Lake Cheesman. The water is conveyed thirty-five miles through four conduits, each of which distributes water at a different elevation. The four conduits are necessary because of the varying contours of the city and the inability to distribute water at the high points under such conditions as would make a safe pressure for the low points without the use of intermediate reservoirs to reduce the pressure. These cities, if the supply of water close at hand was fit for use, could be supplied by a pumping plant no more expensive to install and no more expensive to operate than the Buffalo plant. The interest on the cost of the gravity plant, at four per cent., is $1,600,000 a year, or five and one-third times the total charge for interest, operation, maintenance and repairs for a pumping plant adequate for their needs. Denver is situated just as Boston and the surrounding towns as to varying elevations, but presents greater difficulties to the distribution of water by gravity than is the case in the Massachusetts cities, for the high elevations occur at irregular intervals all around the outskirts. Denver now has four large conduits bringing water to the city from various distant sources of supply. The length of these conduits ranges from 12 to 23 miles. It has two other conduits bringing water from more adjacent supplies. The conduits from the distant sources have their beginnings at the highest points outside the foothills, at which it is practicable to construct reservoirs and filtration plants. The elevation, however, is not sufficient to furnish gravity pressure satisfactory for the highest points of the city. No greater elevation can be secured without going up into the canons of the streams from which the supply is secured and building reservoirs and filtration plants on sites where the cost would be prohibitive. The cost of installing and operating the pumping plants necessary to increase the pressure for the high service districts is so much lower than the added cost of additional conduit length and reservoir and filtration facilities in the mountains that it is far cheaper to operate and maintain the combined system than it would be to secure the much higher elevation necessary for an exclusively gravity plant. If a gravity plant would have been cheaper The Denver Union Water Company would have constructed it for the high service duty eight years ago when it built the Platte canon reservoir, the slow-sand filtration plant and the conduit to convey the supply from that plant to the city. The men connected with the company had, at that time, thirty-one years' experience in supplying water to Denver. That thirty-one years surely has taught them the most economical system. They could just as easily have selected a site up in the mountains, as at the mouth of the canon. The land for that site in the mountains would have been much cheaper. They would have selected it if the construction cost had not been prohibitive. The taxpayers will do well to consider this matter carefully before they accept the claim made by Messrs. Patterson and Rush that a gravity plant can be built for a song and will supply water almost free of cost. An exclusive gravity system to bring water to Denver will cost more money than any of the propositions for municipal ownership afford without providing for storage reservoirs, filtration plants or 500 miles of distributing mains within the city. The Right Kind of Reading Matter The home news; the doings of the people in this town; the gossip of our own community, that's the first kind of reading matter you want. It is more important, more interesting to you than that given by the paper or magazine from the outside world. It is the first reading matter you should buy. Each issue of this paper gives to you just what you will consider The Right Kind of Reading Matter Chance for Beggars. Drop Individuality. Begging must be profitable in Paris, judging from a recent advertisement in a Paris paper: "For Sale—Present holder retiring to the country, good situation for one-legged man; neighborhood of the Etolie; hours of work, 2 p. m. to 7 p. m.; receipts, from 8s. 6d. to 12s.; regular passersby, children and strangers; any infirmity would suit." Some women and some men remind one of springs coiled around themselves. Every accident they turn back to themselves, everything is a fancied slight, all activities center about their likes and dislikes. If they could forget their own inconsequence they would meet with greater happiness in life.

"Gas bills are not half what they are on the West side, but lately something's wrong somewhere. I think it's my new neighbor across the little hall. She burns gas all the time. She cooks all day and keeps the gas lit up all night. We've also had a new reader of the wheels lately. I don't cook at all and go out to the theater nearly ever night of the world, leaving the flat in darkness, but this month my bill was just exactly the same as hers." What the Little Fellow Would Do He Were Very Rich. They were two ragged children standing on the curbstone watching the carriages as they drove up and stopped to let out their occupants. The street waifs were ragged and dirty, and no doubt hungry, for the basket they carried between them was empty, and the face of the younger of the two was tearstained. "They must be awful rich," he said to the girl at his side. "Jimmy," she answered, "d'ye know wot I'd do if I was rich as—as mud, like them? I'd jses set up straight in me carriage, an' if the folks didn't get out o' the way I'd run over 'em, so I wud." "I wouldn't," said Jimmy, slowly and solemnly. "If I was rich I wouldn't want no carriage, nor horses, nor nothin'. I'd go jest as fast as ever I cud to heven an' bring me mudder back agen." He finished with a sob, and the girl looked at him with an air of superior disdain. THE DENVER SAFE DEPOSIT CO. GEN J W DENVER DENVER, COLO.

Mr. Booze has just recently returned from a trip through the South and the Pacific coast. He is again en route to the South on an important business trip. President Taft says: "Nothing is more foolish, nothing more utterly at variance with sound policy, than to enact a law which, by reason of conditions surrounding the community, is incapable of enforcement." Such would be the condition of a prohibitory law in Denver. "Queen of the Nile" is the title of a song just out, composed by R. G. Holley, one of Denver's leading musicians. It is bound to make a "hit" and will be in great demand. We congratulate Mr. Holley on his musical talent. The enforcement of a prohibition law has been little better than a farce in localities where such laws exist, and to vote for a city to become dry is to make it about as worthless as a dry climate farm without irrigation. The thousands of employees that would be affected in Denver by such a law is within itself sufficient reason why you should vote for a "wet" Denver. The annual sermon of Hiram Commandery, Knights Templars, was preached at the People's Presbyterian church last Sunday by Rev. J. A. Thos.

FAVORABLE REPORT ON BILL TO SELL LANDS TO TOWNS FOR PUBLIC PARKS. Washington—The Senate public lands committee Wednesday made # favorable report upon the bill which has passed the House granting au- thority to the secretary of the in- terior to sell lands to numerous Colo- rado cities and towns for public park purposes. ‘The committee also reported favor- ably the House bill authorizing states owning lands within national forests to exchange such lands for similar areas of other national forest lands of like value to be selected in com pact bodies which lands shall be ex- cluded from the national forests for the benefit of the state making the selection. ‘The House public lands committee Wednesday reported favorably the “Mondell bill authorizing states to con- vey to the United States lands owned py the states and needed in whole or in part for government reclamation purposes and permitting them to se lect an equal area of public lands in lieu of the lands relinquished. Also a bill applying the same provisions in reference to the Carey desert land act. Aldrich to the Rescue! Washington.—Through the forma: tion Wednesday of an organization which, its leaders claim, represents a clear majority of the entire Senate, and to be made up wholly of Regular Republicans, a movement was started to settle the question whether the Senate shall remain conservative, be- come radical or be thrown into politt- cal chaos as far as concerns any co- herent policy in regard to the admin- istration program. Senator Aldrich called the Regular Republicans togeth er and confronted them with a grim description of the possible political effect of their apparent defeat at the hands of the Insurgent Republicans and Democrats in the fight over the traffic agreement section of the ad ministration railroad bill. He asked nis associates whether they were ready to submit to domination by such a combination, Any such surrender, he warned them, meant the failure of the Taft policies and the downfall of conservative control not only in Congress but in the Republi can party generally. “Somebody Lied.” ‘Washington—In denial of a number of published stories giving what pur- ported to be estimates of the popula- tions of some of the cities of the Unit- ed States as shown by the new census, Director Durand of the census de clared emphatically that “no official announcement of the population of any city or state in the United States or of the United States as a whole will be made for some time to come,” and further, “that the fact that the returns from the enumerators have not been received emphasizes the impossibility of any official statement or even esti- mate being given at this time.” ‘Taft's Ununionlike Conduct. Cleveland.—Pres. Taft is in immi- nent danger of being expelled from the Steam Shoyvelers’ union for attend- ing a boycotted ball game. Charges will be filed Thursday at the head- quarters of the union. The charges will be presented by the Cleveland Building Trades Association, which inaugurated the boycott on account of alleged employment of non-union la- bor in building Cleveland’s new ball park. tiene Lay Black Eags.

COOKING IN SPANISH STYLE Some Recipes That May Be New and in Any Event Are Worth Remembering. To make Spanish spaghetti take one-half pound of ground steak that has been put through a mincer and cooked with a good-sized piece of but- ter in a skillet, add half can of to- matoes. Season with salt and cbill peppers. Add one-quarter pound of cheese cut fine, When thoroughly cooked add two handfuls of spaghett! which has been previously boiled. Stir all together and send to table hot. This can be served as a separate course. Stuffed and Baked Onions.—Use six medium sized onions. Take out the center with a scoop, parboil them for three minutes, then put them upside down on a cloth to drain. When drained fill the inside with forcement of bacon and sausage, mixed with the heart of the onion minced fine, also bread crumbs, pepper, salt, a pinch of mace and a spoonful of cream. Stuff the onions with this and sim- mer in the oven for an hour, basting frequently with melted butter. When done take the onions up care- fully so as not to break them, place them open end uppermost in a vege- table dish, add to the gravy in the baking pan the juice of half a lemon, four tablespoons of cream and @ little browned flour. Boil up and pour over the onions. Arrox Con Pollo (Chicken and Rice)—Put three tablespoonfuls of oil in a pan and when hot put in small pieces of chicken, which are to be cooked slowly in the oil for half an hour. By this time the pieces should be brown. Meanwhile, in another pan, fry also in oil, onions, garlic, tomatoes and red peppers, adding this mixture to the fowl, together with six to eight ounces of well-washed rice and one pint of stock. FOR THE BREAKFAST TABLE Variety of Dishes That Will Stimulate the Appetite Even of the Invalid. Chopped Apples and Nuts.—Wash, core and chop nice apples, fill the dishes, sprinkle with chopped nuts and sugar, and serve with cream. Oatmeal With Dates.—Add a table- spoonful of seeded and chopped dates to each dish of well-cooked oatmeal and serve with sugar and cream. Wheat Biscuits With Strawberries. —Pour a little hot water over a shredded wheat biscuit and drain; cover the top with canned or pre- served strawberries, and serve with cream. Wheat Biscuits With Peaches.—Pre- pare the biscuit as above, cover with canned or preserved peaches, and serve with cream. Sliced Oranges.—Peel the oranges and slice from the outside to center ‘n small pieces; sprinkle with sugar. | Baked Apples.—Wash cooking ap- ples, cut out the core, and fill the cen ter with sugar; place in a granite dish, pour in a little hot water, and bake; serve with cream. Graham Mush—Take boiling salted water, thicken with graham flour, steam 20 minutes, and serve with mill or cream. ‘Another Good Luncheon Dish. Sever the joints of a tender chicken and prepare as if for stewing. Let the pieces soak in a French dressing of olive ofl and lemon juice for half an hour. Heat three tablespoonfuls of butter In a frying pan, fry an onion in the butter until it 1s brown; drain the chicken and fry with the onion for ten minutes. Empty the contents of the frying pan into a larger pan and add a cupful of stock and one of strained tomato juice. Cook gently until the chicken is tender. Take the pieces from the gravy and leave in a strainer over hot water to keep warm. Return the gravy to the fire and add three-quarters of a cupful of rice which has been soaking in cold water for an hour or more. Cook until the rice is soft. Return the chicken to the pot and when thoroughly mixed and heated heap upon a platter and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, Apple Dumpling. Make a rich baking powder crust such as is prepared for biscuit, then roll out pieces about six inches in diameter and one-half inch in thick ness. Tn the center of each put cored ap- ples or tart apples peeled and cut in small pieces, then gather the edges of the crust and pinch tightly to gether. Put the dumplings in a deep, well buttered pudding dish, sprinkle with sugar, cinnamon and pieces of butter, turn on boiling water enough to’ cover and bake for half an hour in a hot oven. For Soups and Gravies. An economical browning for soups, gravies, etc, may be made from the peelings and outer white skin of on- jons; put these into an old iron saucepan with brown sugar in the pro- portion of a tablespoonful of sugar to the peels of six onions; set the sauce- pan on the stove and let the contents gradually cook until they are a deep brown, pour off what liquid there is into a bottle and keep it closely corked.

In his book, "Four Aspects of Civic Duty," the chief executive of the greatest nation on earth, says: more utterly at variance such, by reason of con- ble of enforcement. Presented by sumptuary ers is prohibited under ment of the immediate the enforcement of the the result of agitation who are determined to In cases where the it is far better to regu- and the failure to enforce idea that laws are to of those affected; I such a loose theory is. w leads to a demoral- icity and Organization, "Nothing is more foolish, nothing more utterly at variance in sound policy, than to enact a law which, by reason of con- tions surrounding the community, is incapable of enforcement. "Such, for instance, are sometimes presented by sumptuary laws by which the sale of intoxicating liquors is prohibited under penalties in localities where public sentiment of the immediate community does not and will not sustain the enforcement of the law. In such cases the legislation usually is the result of agitation by the people in the country districts, who are determined to make their fellow citizens in the city better. In cases where the sale of liquor cannot be prohibited in fact, it is far better to regulate than to stamp it out. "By the enactment of a drastic law and the failure to enforce it there is injected into the public mind the idea that laws are to be obeyed or violated according to the will of those affected; I need not say how altogether pernicious such a loose theory is. The constant violation or neglect of any law leads to a demoralized view of all laws." Nathan A. Coe Director of Publicity and Organization, territory?"
