Advice to the Negro Farmer. Help our Business enterprises, and maintain progress among the Negroes of Denver. VOL. XVI. NEGRO A. ESS To the People of Denver to m gressive. Advice to the Business enterprises, a among the Neg Push This. Push This. For some time there has been carried on in this city, with more or less success, an effort to organize among our people a Young Men's Christian Association. To the casual observer the preliminary work of such a move ought not to be delayed for either funds or active and successful workers. This city has several splendid churches with large and fairly prosperous congregations. These churches are almost, if not fully out of debt. Their membership could and should be made an active recruiting department for this work. The value and importance of such an organization among our people cannot be too highly valued. What this paper, along with the churches and other good citizens, desires, is to raise the standard of manhood as high as possible. By surrounding our young men with wholesome places of amusement and recreation, besides pleasing means at hand whereby they may not only begin to learn, but receive the inspiration to a higher life. Then such an organization helps develop the commercial side of our people. We will venture the assertion that no city of the size of Denver containing so many of our people, cannot boast of more lines of successful business operated by our people. We want to emphasize the fact that Denver is no longer the city of refuge for the "no-account tough" who floats about from pillar to post. If they come to town, tell them to move on or reform. The idea that this city is one continuous round of pleasure must be changed and the invitation sent out strong to those who will help in the uplift. There are always coming to this city many young men needing suitable places to spend their idle hours. A well-equipped Y. M. C. A. meets this demand. This is a public duty. Are you ready? More Than Ever. That's what the farmers and fruit raisers of Colorado will produce this year. Despite the effects of a very severe winter lingering long in the lap of spring reports from various parts of the state indicate a "great big crop." It has been the purpose of this paper to keep in touch with the many Negroes who have been going out on the farm to live, and to tell from time to time of the progress. We are sure, however, that they are not excepted from the general prosperity wave. The difficult problem for the colored man to solve is to disrupt and break away from the ties which bind him to the always moving phantoms of the city. But if we can get together the fact about the success of those already on the farm, and how one success leads them to another, we are positive that the number of our people who will seek the farm and rural life will be greatly increased. This is as it should be All through Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri and Arkansas the number of successful Negro farmers and land owners are annually increasing. The most pleasing feature about this increase is that they are young men just starting in life. Colorado needs some of that class. We have many hundred acres of tillable soil that has never been filed on, and this state can afford to the homeseeker a better opportunity than can be found in any Eastern state. Now, the only way to get a thrifty, hustling, energetic class of Negroes added to the present population of Colorado is to go after them and show 'em that we have the goods. That will mean there is no room here for the bad Negro. Just help boost. Help Them. There is always a complaint among our people that they don't get all that's coming to them. Did you ever notice it? Go out on the streets any day and ninety percent, of our people you meet will howl out a complaint because Denver Negroes have not more business enterprise. We wonder, sometimes, if it ever occurred to us that we get just what we pay for in this world. There have been stores and grocery stores galore started in this city. None are here now because we preferred to buy our shoes and groceries elsewhere. There have various other enterprises opened here, but long since have gone, just because we neglected to patronize, and pay for DENVER. COLORADO. SATURDAY, JUNE 11 1910. what we got. The few enterprises here now enjoy a hand-to-mouth existence, whereas they should be prosperous, if they only had your trade. And, again, there are hundreds of good people who carelessly allow their bills to go by default and the Negro business man on small working capital is bound to suffer. There are many accounts due this paper. We need it. Will you send in at once. You know what you owe. NEGRO FOR MINISTER AND CONSUL IN LIBERIA Washington, June 7.—President Taft today nominated William D. Crum of South Carolina to be minister resident and consul general at Monrovia, Liberia. Crum is the Negro whose appointment by Mr. Roosevelt as collector of the port of Charleston, S. C., raised a storm of protest in the South. THE DOCTORS' DUTIES Dr. Marcus H. Wheatland, president of the National Medical Association, has undertaken at least two efforts which, if successful must be of inestimable benefit, to he race. The famous president himself will head a committee of fifteen of fifteen doctors from the national organization to investigate tuberculosis among Negroes. No comprehensive, scientific and satisfactory inquiry into the reasons for the excessive ravages of the disease among Negroes has yet been made. Whatever investigation has been made heretofore has been partial if not unfriendly. It has, consequently, been reported that because of the Negroe's inferior lung capacity and his inability to acclimate in the temporate zone, he is a peculiar victim of the great white plague. Poor housing and living conditions and inability to secure proper medical attention are ascribed as the causes by the eminent X Ray expert, who scoffs at the other qnsi-scientific opinions. However that may be, that the leading Negro doctors will consider thoroughly the situation is cause for general satisfaction. At the Newark meeting of the North Jersey Medical Association last week Dr. Wheatland again impressed upon Negro doctors the need of scientific attainment. The Negro doctor for the most part seems content to earn a good living and rest on his oars. He is not apparently fired by the ambition to keep in the van of his profession and to achieve a reputation for scientific scholarship and attainment. This lack of attainment and reputation prohibits confidence and popularity, not only among white, but colored people. In urging consideration of consumption among Negroes and the need of scholarship and acnieve ment, the president of the National Medical Association has placed his finges upon the two pressing duties of the Negro doctors.—New York Age. GOES TO LIBERIA Professor Theophilus R. Parker, of Morgan College, Baltimore, has decided to accept a chair in the college at Monrovia, Liberia. The school is under the management of the A. M. E. church. Much is being said of the young man, who is able and ambitious, for his missionary zeal. It takes some courage to enlist in the cause of a country which has so much to do in making a place among the leading nations. There are courageous individuals, however, among other races, many of them, and who do not hesitate when they hear the call. The American Negroes are the foremost in preparation when it comes to education, experience and such like qualities, hence should contribute freely of the resources in buoying up their kind across the seas. The zeal of Professor Parker should become contagious until Liberia lifts above its present slough and stands for what the race in this country would have it stand—a mighty and glorious power at amity with all environments through sheer force of intelligence and physical hardihood.—Freeman WEALTHY BUSINESS MAN H. L. Jackson, Blackstone, Va. is reputed to be worth between forty and fifty thousand dollars. Besides ode or two good farms, he also owns two large store buildings located in the business district of the town. He rents one to a white man, who conducts a furniture business therein; in the second store, Mr. Jackson himself manages a general merchandise trade whose capital in stock is valued at $20,000. In connection with the other business, he also carries a good stock of text books and stationary. In fact, he furnishes all the text books for the pupils in both the white and colored schools of the town.—The Student. Taft Refuses to Remove the Twenty-fifth Infantry. Washington, June 8.—The president has flatly refused to accede to a demand from the citizens of Seattle for the removal of the Twenry-fifth infantry, Negroes, because a soldier is accused of assaulting a white woman. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES There will be some "big doings" at the Baltimore meeting of the B. M. C. in September. The three cornered fight between Morris, Asbury and Jones for the Grand Mastership will alone be worth the price of admission. Little Rock. Ark., May 14.—"Dock" McLain, a Negro who severely wounded Ernest Hale, a young white man at Ashdown in April, was taken from two deputy sheriffs Friday night by a mob of twenty-five men and hanged in the jail yard. The lynching was a quiet affair, not a shot being fired. All except two of the lynchers were masked. The rumor is spreading from one town to another that one of the Boley banks has been robbed by a certain colored banker of Boley, Okla. The rumor is that the gentleman robbed the bank of $6,000 and ran away. But was brought back by the officers and is now under bond as a guarantee of his appearance on a certain day to be entertained by a judge and several jurors for the offense. St. Louis, Mo., May 31—Charles H, Turpin, a popular young Negro of this city, has announced his candidacy for Constable of the Fourth District, which is composed of the new Sixth and Seventeenth Wards, formerly the Fifth, Fourteenth and Twenty-second Wards. There are hundreds of Negro voters in the Fourth District, and if Mr. Turpin is loyally supported by the members of his race he can be nominated and elected. Hayti is soon to have its first railroad. Perhaps when it gets some railroads, built and controlled by foreign capital, it will have more common sense and less common revolutions. The Haytians have done little else during the whole of the past century than fight among themselves over the question of who shall rule the country and rob the treasury. Unhappy Hayti, where the greatest seem to be tryannical thieves and liars and the worst to be obsequious knaves and fakirs! The country appears to be rich in everything, except people. We have too many enemies within the ranks of the race, together with the multitude without to contend with and it is a most NO.39 direful calamity, when we, of a fraternity find it necessary for us to war among ourselves. The Star has always been an advocate of unity because we want all organizations of the race to succeed and especially those with whom we are identified. We fully believe the Elks have the material for making one of the foremost organizations in the country, and if the leaders can only afford to put aside their petty individualities at the right time, the organization must and will go on to great success —Newport News Star. Baltimore, Md., June 1.—The Maryland Diocesan Convention of the Protesant Episcopal Church last Thursday voted down unanimously the suggestion to have suffragan bishops for Negroes. Rev. Dr. George T. Bragg, Jr., rector of St. James Protestant Episcopal church, in a strong speech against suffragan bishops, declared that what the colored people wanted was a missionary bishop of their own race with a right to vote in the general convention. He said a suffragan bishop would be powerless and helpless and a detriment to the race. Pink Franklin, the South Carolina Negro, whose conviction of the murder of Special Constable Valentine, led to an attack upon the so-called "labor contract laws" of the South, will suer the death penalty, according to the decision of the United States Supreme Court. Former Attorney General Bonaparte became interested in the case and filed a brief in Franklin's behalf. He contended that Franklin had a right to resist arrest, which was sought to be made on a warrant issued under an unconstitutional law. This law was the so-called "labor contract law." which provided that agricultural laborers, under contract to work, were guilty of misdemeanors if they broke their contracts after receiving wages in advance. Mr. Bonaparte denounced this law as an attempt to reduce the Negroes of the South to captivity. Justice Day, in announcing the decision, said the court could inquire only into federal questions. He said the question of resistance of arrest under an unconstitutional law was not raised in time in the State court. Philosophy and Religion.

THE RICH AND THE POOR IN AN unusual address delivered in New York a few weeks ago, Clarence Darrow, the prominent Socialist lawyer of Chicago, advised a new course for the Negro to pursue to better adjust himself to the social and industrial conditions surrounding him in the United States, with the object of contributing more materially and more naturally to the solution of the so-called race problem. It is his declared belief that the race problem here is a labor problem. "What is of interest to labor is of interest to you," said Mr. Darrow, speaking to the race at large, "therefore, cast your lot with the poor, and make their efforts your efforts." Mr. Darrow is an earnest student of social and labor conditions and sincerity is one of his recognized traits, but it is doubtful that his well meant advice can be wisely or practicably followed. So far as natural conditions go, the Negro does not have to cast his lot with the poor, for he has had the poor end of the struggle since he was thrust into the arena, but as to choosing to ally himself boldly with one class of the white population as a confirmed and inveterate enemy to another class, in the manner which some Socialists seem to think absolutely necessary, the Negro has not been hasty. The wisdom of such a course has never been apparent, and the folly of it has always been intuitively felt. All labor conditions affect the colored man to a ceratin degree, but not exactly as they affect the white man who creates them. White and black labor stand upon different planes, made different by the hostile attitude of white labor, and the burden of responsibility for the reduction of friction between the two forces does not rest with the colored man. Neither can he take the initiative in the negotiation of closer relations between white and black labor forces, for nothing effective can be accomplished except by the surrender of the white man's selfish and hostile principles. Even then black labor would have reason to doubt the efficacy of his new relations. son to doubt the Negro cannot welcome an attitude of voluntary opposition to the capitalist class, as it is called, because the greater, if not all, of the benefits that he has enjoyed as a laborer have been derived from that class, while the gradual extension of privileges which have come to him as a citizen of the republic has had similar origin. In sentiment, in philanthropy, in industrial and educational development, and in legislation, the Negro has practically been the ward of aristocracy and wealth, and while he would not become the ally of either for the establishment of unfair and vicious conditions affecting other elements, neither would he assume a position of natural opposition or of hostile antagonism to the legitimate aims and interests of capital. Therefore the Negro cannot cast his lot boldly with the poor for the sole sake of becoming an organized fighting force opposed to another class, but he can yet be true to labor's best interests and an arbiter between classes that do not realize the unworthiness and danger of class distrust and class friction in a republic. IT COMES BACK TO THE PEOPLE The necessity of exercising your right of franchise at the polls has been continually urged by the Colorado Statesman in every political campaign. We hear many of our people who failed to cast a vote for any individual running for office, put up a howl about how corrupt the affairs of the city, county, state or national government has developed, but they do not stop to consider that they did not exercise their privilege to defeat such individuals who have control of the aforesaid political wheels. A very explicit reason for you to at all times make yourself counted at the polls is given in the following editorial from the Denver Republican: The evils of government are nearly all due to failure on the part of many persons to discharge their duty on election day. They are indifferent to public affairs. They do not go to the polls, leaving the choice of public officials to others. Men of this kind may try to excuse themselves on the plea that it makes no difference whether they vote or not, provided they do not vote for bad men. But the man who remains away from the polls casts half a vote for a bad candidate. Were his vote cast for the worthy man, it would count not only for him, but also against the one who would make an untrustworthy official. The notion that politics is a disrederitable thing because bad men get control of a machine and nominate bad candidates presents no excuse for the neglect of good citizens. Bad men and machine politicians control because good men let them do so. If good citizens discharged their duty at the polls at all times, the machine politicians would not be able to occupy the field. It is the failure of those who are the most deeply interested in good government to do their duty which brings upon them and others the evils of bad government. A sense of private responsibility in public duty is this country's greatest need. Mr. Cleveland said that public office is a public trust, and so it is. But it should not be forgotten that the elective franchise clothes a citizen with one of the most important of all offices. In a republic like this, a citizen is a public official in the fact that he is a voter. A representative in a legislature who votes for a bill to become a law is no more clothed with an official function than the man who voted in the first place for the member of the legislature. Voting is the first official act in connection with government, and what Mr. Cleveland said about public office being a public trust applies to voting no less than to the duties of those places which are more commonly classed as official. It has been said in these columns time and again, but it will bear repeating, that the people get the kind of government they order on election day. Let it be borne in mind also that it is not alone those who go to the polls of whom this may be said, but also of those who stay away. It is an established doctrine of law that the principal is responsible for the acts of his agent. It is one which should be kept in mind in connection with public matters. But the principal who directs an agent to do a special thing is not the only one whom the law holds responsible. The same responsibility attaches to the principal who neglects his agent and allows him to do as he pleases. To the last named class belong those citizens who habitually stay away from the polls. Office Where Plan Works in Actual Practice By THURDE RAYLE BRUCE ERHAPS readers will be interested in learning how the "more-daylight" plan works in actual practise. We had been discussing this plan in our office for some time and finally, at the beginning of June, concluded to let the employees choose between the hours we had been observing and the more-daylight plan. Our regular hours are from eight to twelve and from 1:00 to 5:30, making an $81\frac{1}{2}$ hour day. The vote was unanimous for beginning at seven and quitting at 4:30 and we changed the hours. We did not change our clocks but began an hour earlier. We have now been following the plan for ERHAPS readers will be interested in learning how the "more-daylight" plan works in actual practise. We had been discussing this plan in our office for some time and finally, at the beginning of June, concluded to let the employees choose between the hours we had been observing and the more-daylight plan. Our regular hours are from eight to twelve and from 1:00 to 5:30, making an 8½ hour day. The vote was unanimous for beginning at seven and quitting at 4:30 and we changed the hours. We did not change our clocks but began an hour earlier. We have now been following the plan for six weeks and I do not believe one of us would go back willingly to the old hours now. It seems to us that the advantages are many. We get to work in the morning when the air is cool and work until noon. We then take an hour for luncheon and begin with only $3\frac{1}{2}$ hours before us and I really think that all of us work more rapidly because of the short time until we can quit. At 4:30, the time in the day when things begin to drag and the temperature has reached its most trying limit in hot weather, we are through for the day with hours of daylight before us in which to enjoy ourselves according to our several dispositions. Inquiry reveals the fact that we go to bed earlier than we have been accustomed to, saving ourselves hours of artificial light; that we rise early enough to receive the refreshing benefits that come from early rising and that we do our work better, more easily, and feel better over it than we did under the old order. The writer has always been an early riser and takes considerable satisfaction in "puttering" about the lawn and vegetable garden, but early morning is not a good time for this work on account of the heavy summer dews. Now I go to my office early and quit early enough so that I can get rest, recreation and much satisfaction working in the soil after hours. In consequence I have a flourishing vegetable garden, a flower-filled lawn and muscles in good condition from the exercise. I believe we are the first company in the United States to put the "more-daylight" plan into actual practise and I believe that everyone connected with the company is perfectly satisfied with the arrangement. When the young woman entering upon a business career awakens to the fact that this earth and the life manifested and expressed in our daily actions is the keynote of the whole melody of existence, then will she know that the golden rule applies even in the simplicity of an application for a position, in the mere inclination of the head, or in the faintest suggestion of a smile when words are unnecessary, or perhaps wholly out of place. What Business Men Require of Girls By KATHRYN O. BAILEY Then, too, she may discover the principle of perfect freedom of conscience and opinion and permit her neighbor sister "addresser," typist or stenographer the blessed privilege of expressing her ideas of "life, death and that vast forever," as is so desired. She may possibly discover that her employer or the man who is engaging her services may know something of business and its perplexities which she need not trouble herself to unfold to him, even before the engagement has been decided upon. When the young woman discerns the fact that several other of her associates are quite as well informed upon some subjects as herself, then she may be prepared to be a success in her sphere. Superfluous words and actions, as well as "puffs" and "cheap jewelry," so often referred to, and unkindly, perhaps, retard progress and stay success when it would seem that it really was deserved. "How am I to make a success of my work?" Why is it at all necessary to ask the question when there can be but one correct answer? Learn to do something, to do it, not to shirk a part of it, and to do it as it should be done. That seems about all the sternest of business men desire of young women in their offices. Is our civilization on the decline? Are parents growing lax in discipline for their children? If not, what is the cause of the intolerable conduct of the average American child today? Parents Growing Lax in Discipline By FRANC LYNN If men and women of the present time recall their childhood they will find there was not the too-apparent liberty which characterizes the child of today. It seems to be a trait of the American child to be haughty and show a lack of respect for his elders. And even when parents are brought face to face with the situation they invariably say: "He is only a child and will grow out of it." What a lack of parental training is expressed in that sentence! The child may do whatever he chooses simply because he is a child. Is it a wonder that our foreign visitors are amazed at the lack of training the average American child receives at home? In the home everything that tends to build up character should be emphasized and parents should begin early to uproot any tendency toward demoralization in their children. Why will parents permit their boys and girls of school age to parade the streets at nine and ten o'clock in the evening? Is it because the courses offered in schools at the present time are simplified to such an extent that a child does not find it necessary to study at home? There is no doubt that certain topics are easy to grasp for some children, but this does not excuse these children from strengthening themselves in those studies that are difficult. Children of school age should have their minds concentrated on the things that befit their age, but it is obvious the child who wantonly wanders on the streets at nine or ten o'clock in the evening has his mind on things far beyond his years and it is apparent that a continuance of this for a couple of generations will prove harmful to future Americans. --- We are now showing one of the finest lines of straw hats in the city.

ROMANES LECTURE GIVEN BY THEODORE ROOSEVELT Event Postponed by King's Death Attracts a Large Audience at Oxford---Lord Curzon Introduces the Distinguished American. Oxford, England.—Before an audience of distinguished men and students of Oxford university. Theodore Roosevelt on June 7 delivered the Romanes lecture, his subject being "Biological Analogies in History." The lecture had been scheduled for delivery on May 18, but of course was postponed on account of King Edward's demise. It was given in the Sheldonian theater and Lord Curzon, as掌舵er of the university, presided and introduced the lecturer. In seeking to penetrate the causes of the mysteries that surround not only mankind but all life, both in the present and the past, said Mr. Roosevelt, we see strange analogies in the phenomena of life and death, of birth growth and change, between those physical groups of animal life which we designate as species, forms, races and the highly complex and composite entities which rise before our minds when we speak of nations and civilizations. It is this study, he asserted, that has given science its present-day prominence, and the historian of mankind must work in the scientific spirit and use the treasure-houses of science. To illustrate, the lecturer took several instances of the development of new species and the extinction of species in the history of mammalian life, showing that in some cases the causes can be traced with considerable accuracy, and in other cases we cannot so much as hazard a guess as to why a given change occurred. Analogies In Human History. Continuing, Mr. Roosevelt said in part: Now, as to all of these phenomena in the evolution of species, there are, if not homologies, at least certain analogies, in the history of human societies, in the history of the rise to prominence, of the development and change, of the temporary dominance, and death or transformation, of the groups of varying kind, or nations. As in biology, so in human history, a new form may result from the specialization of a long-existing and hitherto very slowly-changing generalized or non-specialized form; as, for instance, when a barbaric race from a variety of causes suddenly develops a more complex cultivation and adaptation that is thus adapted for instance, in western Europe during the centuries of the Teutonic and later the Scandinavian ethnic overflows from the north. All the modern countries of western Europe are descended from the states created by these northern invaders. When first created they could be called "new" or young states in the sense perhaps not of the old barbarian states, were descended from races that hitherto had not been civilized at all, and that therefore for the first time entered on the career of civilized communities. In the southern part of western Europe the new states thus formed consisted in bulk of the inhabitants already in the land under the Roman empire; and it was here that the new states were formed. Through a reflex action their influence then extended back into the cold forests from which the invaders had come, and Germany and Scandinavia witnessed the rise of communities with essentially the same civilization as their southern neighbors; though in those communities, unlike the southern communities, there was no infusion of new blood, and in each of these communities development was composed entirely of members of the same race which in the same region had for ages lived the life of a slowly changing barbarianism. The same was true of the Slavs and the Slavonized Finns of eastern Europe, when an infiltration of Scandinavian leaders from the north and infiltration of Byzantine leaders from the south developed the changes which have gradually out of the little Slav communities of the forest and the steppe, formed the mighty Russian empire of today. "New" and "Young" Nations. Again, the new form may represent merely a highly developed and long-established high school developed and organized. In this case the nation is usually spoken of as a "young," and is correctly spoken of as a "new," "nation; but the term should always be used with a clear sense of the difference between what is described in such case, and what is described by the same term in speaking of a civilized nation just developed from a barbarism. Carthage and Syracuse were made in the same period, but but the Greek or Phoenician race was in every sense of the word as old in the new city as in the old city. So, nowadays, Victoria or Manitoba is a new community compared with England or Scotland; but the ancestral type of civilization and culture is as old in one case as in the other. I of course do not mean for a moment that great changes are not produced by the ancestral type of civilization, but is suddenly placed in surroundings where it has again to go through the work of tuning the wilderness, a work finished many centuries before in the original home of the race. I merely mean that the ancestral history is the same in each case. We can rightly use the phrase "new people" in speaking of Canadians or Australians, Americans or Africans, and sense from that in which we use it when speaking of such communities as those founded by the northmen and their descendants during that period of astonishing growth which saw the descendants of the Norse sea-thieves conquer and transform Normandy, Sicily, and the British islands; we use it in an entirely different sense of the new states that grew up around Warsaw, Kief, Novgorod, and Moscow, as the wild savages of the steppes and the marshy forests struggled haltingly and stumblingly upward to become builders of cities and to form stable governments. the kingdoms of Charlemagne and Alfred were "new" compared with the empire on the Bosphorus; they were also different; their lines of ancestral descent had nothing in common with those of the polyglot realm which paid tribute to the Caesars of Byzantium; their social problems and aftertime history were totally different. This is not true of those "new" nations which spring direct from old nations, Brazil, the Argentine, the United States, all the African countries, compared with the nations of Europe, but whatever changes in detail, their civilization is nevertheless of the general Euro- pean type, as shown in Portugal, Spain, and England. The differences between these "new" American and these "old" European nations are not as great as those which separate the "new" nations one from another and the "old" nations one from another. There are in each case peer relations between the new old the old nation-differences both for good and for evil; but in each case there is the same ancestral history to reckon with, the same type of civilization, with its attendant benefits and shortcomings; and, after the pioneer stages are passed, the problems to be solved, in spite of superficial differences, are in their essence the same as those of the civilized peoples, not those that confront peoples struggling from barbarism into civilization. So, when we speak of the "death" of a tribe, a nation or a civilization, the term may be used for either one or two totally different processes; the analogy with what occurs in biological history being complete. Certain tribes of savages, the Tasmanians, for instance, and various little clans of American Indians, have within the last century or two completely died out; all of the individuals have perished, leaving no descendants, and the blood has disappeared. Certain other tribes of Indians have as tribes disappeared or are now disappearing; all their blood remains introduced into the veins of the white intruders, or of the black men introduced by these white intruders; so that in reality they are merely being transformed into something absolutely different from what they were. A like wide diversity in fact may be covered in the statement that a civilization has "died out." Phenomena That Puzzle. In dealing, not with groups of human beings in simple and primitive relations, but with highly complex, highly specialized, civilized, or semi-civilized societies, there is need of great caution in drawing analogies with what has occurred in the development of the animal world. Yet even in these cases it is curious to see how some of the phenomena in the growth and disappearance of these complex, artificial groups of human beings resemble what has happened in myriads of instances in the history of life on this planet. Why do great artificial empires, whose citizens are knit by a bond of speech and culture much more than by a bond of blood, show periods of extraordinary growth, and again of sudden or lingering decay? In some cases we can answer readily enough; in other cases we cannot as yet even guess what the proper answer should be. If in any such case the centrifugal forces overcome the centripetal, the nation will fly to the other side, and the nation will become a dominant force is patent to every one. The minute that the spirit which finds its healthy development in local self-government, and in the antidote to the dangers of an extreme centralization, develops into mere particularism, into inability to combine effectively for achievement of a common end, then it is hopeless to expect great results. Poland and certain republics of the western hemisphere are the standard examples of failure of this kind; and the United States would have become a byword of derision, if the forces of union had not triumphed in the civil war. So the growth of soft luxury after it has reached a certain point becomes a national danger patent to all. Again, it needs but little of the vision of a seer to foretell what must happen in any community if the average woman ceases to become the mother of a family of healthy children, if the average man loses the will and the power to work up to old age and to fight whenever the virtues die out, if the homely companion vultures die out, if strength of character vanishes in graceful self-indulgence, if the virile qualities atrophy, then the nation has lost what no material prosperity can offset. But there are plenty of other phenomena wholly or partially inexplicable. It is easy to see why Rome trended downward when great slave-tilled farms spread over what had once been a countryside of peasant proprietors, when greed and luxury and sensuality ate like acids into the fiber of the upper classes, while the mass of the citizens grew to depend, not upon their own exertions, but upon the state, for their pleasures and their very livelihood. But this does not explain why the forward movement stopped at different times, so far as different matters were concerned, but at the time as regards literature, at another time as regards architecture, at another time as regards city building. We cannot even guess why the springs of one kind of energy dried up while there was yet no cessation of another kind. Holland as an Example. Take another and smaller instance, that of Holland. For a period covering a little more than the seventeenth century, Holland, like some of the Italian city states at an earlier period, stood on the dangerous heights of greatness beside nations so vastly her superior in territory and population as to make it inevitable that sooner or later she must fall from the glorious and perilous eminence to which she had been raised by her own indomitability. She was not a woman who had not have been indefinitely postponed; but came far quicker than it needed to come, because of shortcomings on her part to which both Great Britain and the United States would be wise to pay heed. Her government was singularly ineffective, the decentralization being such as often to permit the separatist, the particularist, spirit of the provinces to rob the central authority of all efficiency. This was bad enough. But the fatal weakness was that the provinces were living societies, where men hate to think of their possible, and try to justify their own reliance to face it either by high-sounding moral platitudes or else by a philosophy of short-sighted materialism. The Dutch were very wealthy. They grew to believe that they could hire others to do their fighting for them on land; and on sea, where they did their own fighting, and fought very well, they refused in time of peace to make ready fleets so effusive that they could be defeated by the peace being broken or else to give them the victory when or else came. To be opulent and unarmed is to secure ease in the present at the almost certain cost of disaster in the future. It is therefore easy to see why Holland lost when she did her position among the powers; but it is far more difficult to explain why at the same time there should be a great spark of divine fire burned itself out in the national soul. As the line of great statesmen, of great warriors, by land and sea, came to an end, so the line of the great pre-eminence in the schools followed, the loss of pre-eminence in camp and in council chamber. In the little republic of Holland, as in the great empire of Rome, it was not done until the camp can transform. Both Holland and Italy us that races that fall may rise again. Danger of Race Suicide. There are questions which we of the great civilized nations are ever tempted to ask of the future. Is our time of growth drawing to an end? Are we as nations soon to come under the rule of that great law of death, which is itself but part of the great law of life? None can tell. Forces that we can see and other forces that are hidden or that can but dimly be apprehended are at work all around us, both for good and for evil. The growth in luxurious and frivolous excitement, is both evident and unhealthy. The most ominous sign is the diminution in the birth-rate, in the rate of natural increase, now to a larger or lesser degree shared by most of the civilized nations of central and western Europe, of America and Australia; a diminution so great that if it continues for the next century at the rate which has obtained for the last 25 years, an increase higher than the old stationary or else have begun to go backward in population, while many of them will have already gone very far backward. There is much that should give us concern for the future. But there is much also which should give us hope. No man is more apt to be mistaken than the prophet of evil. I believe with all my heart that a great future remains for us; but whether it does or does not, our duty is not altered. However the battle may go, the soldier worthy of the name will with utmost vigor do his ally and bear himself as a victor in defeat, as a victor. Come what will, we belong to peoples who have not yielded to the craven fear of being great. In the ages that have gone by, the great nations, the nations that have expanded and that have played a mighty part in the world, have in the end grown old and weakened and vanished; but so have the nations whose only thought was to avoid all danger, all effort, who would risk nothing, and who therefore gained nothing. In the end the nation will allied; but the memory of the one type perishes with it while the other leaves its mark deep on the history of all the future of mankind. A nation that seemingly dies may be born again; and even though in the physical sense it die utterly, it may yet hand down a history of herocle achievement, and for all time to come may profoundly influence the nations that arise in its place by the impress of what it has done. Best of all is it to do our part well, and at the same time to see our blood live to take up the task as we lay it down; for so shall our seed inherit the earth. But if this, which is best, is denied us, then at least it is ours to remember that if we choose we can be torch-bearers, as our fathers were before us. The torch has been handed on from nation to nation, from civilization to civilization throughout all recorded time, from the dim years before history dawned, down to the blightened example of this teaching ceremony of ours. It is dropped from the hand of the coward and the sluggard, of the man wrapped in luxury or love of ease, the man whose soul was eaten alight by self-indulgence; it has been kept alight only by those who were mighty of heart and cunning of hand. What they worked at, providing it was worth doing at all, was of no less matter than how they worked, whether in the realm of work or in the realm of work. If their work was good, if what they achieved was of substance, then high success was really theirs. In the first part of this lecture I drew certain analogies between what had occurred to forms of animal life through the procession of the ages on this planet, and what has occurred and is occurring to the great artificial civilizations which have gradually spread over the world's surface during the thousands of years since the dawn of the human species and palaces first rose beside the Nile and the Euphrates, and the harbors of Minoan Crete bristled with the masts of the Aegean craft. But of course the parallel is true only in the roughest and most general way. Moreover, even between the civilizations of today and the civilizations of ancient times there are differences so profound that we must understand the drawing of human clans for the present based on what has happened in the past. While freely admitting all of our follies and weaknesses of today, it is yet mere perversity to refuse to realize the incredible advance that has been made in ethical standards. I do not believe that there is the slightest necessary connection between any weakening of character and the moral standard, this growth of the sense of obligation to one's neighbor and of reluctance to do that neighbor wrong. We need have scant patience with that sly cynicism which insists that kindliness of character only accompanies weakness of character. On the contrary, just as in private life many of the men of strongest character are the very men of strongest character, while the intellect stands high, character stands higher; in which rugged strength and courage, rugged capacity to resist wrongful aggression by others, will go hand in hand. In the case of the civilizations of ancient clans This is the type of Timoleon of Hampden, of Washington and Lincoln. These were as good men, as disinterested and unselfish men, as ever served a state; and they were also as strong men as ever founded or saved a state. Surely such examples prove that there is nothing Utopian in our effort to combine justly and harmoniously with nature and with the high civilizations must themselves supply the antidote to the self-indulgence and love of ease which they tend to produce. Problems of Modern Nations. Problems ofCURRICULUM NATIONS. Every modern civilized nation has many problems in its own borders, problems that arise not merely from juxtaposition of poverty and riches, but especially from the self-consciousness of both poverty and riches. Each nation must deal with these matters in its own fashion, and yet the spirit in which the problem is approached must ever be fundamentally the same. It must be a spirit of broad humanity of brotherly kindness of mind and of charity, for each and each for all; and at the same time a spirit as remote at the poles from every form of weakness and sentimentality. As in war to pardon the coward is to do cruel wrong to the brave man whose life his cowardice jeopardizes, so in civil affairs it is revolting to the principle of justice to give to the lazy the vicious or even the innocent the right of what is really the robbery of what braver, wiser, abler man have earned. The only effective way to help any man is to help him to help himself; and the worst lesson to teach him is that he can be permanently helped at the expense of some one else. True liberty shows itself to best advantage in protecting the rights of others, and especially in protecting the liberties that could be tolerated by him. it is to the advantage of a minority, nor yet because it is to the advantage of a majority. No doctrinaire theories of vested rights or freedom of contract can stand in the way of our cutting out abuses from the body politic. Just a little we can afford to follow the littleaires of an impostor—and identity of an impostor—social criticism. In destroying individual rights (including property rights) and the family, would destroy the two chief agents in the advance of mankind, and the two chief reasons why either the advance or the preservation of mankind is worth while. It is an evil and a dreadful thing to be callous to sorrow and suffering, and blind to our duty to do all things possible for the betterment of social conditions, and to strive for this betterment by means so destructive that they would leave no social conditions to better. In dealing with all these social problems, with the intimate relations of the family, with wealth in private use and business use, with labor, with poverty, the one prime necessities of life, the one necessity of heart is a great evil, it is no greater an evil than softness of head. But in addition to these problems the most intimate and important of all which to a larger or less degree affect all the modern nations somewhat alike, we of the great nations that have expanded, that are now in complicated relations with one another and with alien races, have special problems and special duties of our own. You belong to a nation which possesses the greatest empire upon which the modern nations are trying, on a scale hitherto unexamied, to work out the problems of government for, of, and by the people, while at the same time doing the international duty of a great power. But there are certain problems which both of us have to solve, and as to which our standards should be the same. The Englishman, the man of the British isles, in his various homes across the seas, and the American, both at home and abroad, are brought into contact with utterly alien peoples some with a cistern and others still in, or having but recently arisen from, the barbarism which our people left behind ages ago. The problems that arise are of well-nigh inconceivable difficulty. They cannot be solved by the foolish sentimentality of stay-at-home people, with little patent recipes, and those cut-and-dried theories of the political nursery which have such limited applicability amid the crash of elemental forces. Neither can they be solved by the raw brutality of the men who have been the frontier of civilization, adopt might as the only standard of right in dealing with other men, and treat alien races only as subjects for exploitation. No hard and fast rule can be drawn as applying to all alien races, because they differ from one another far more widely than some of them differ from us. But there are one or two rules which must not be forgotten. In the long run, there can be no justification for one race managing or controlling another unless the management and control are exercised in the interest and for the benefit of that other race. This is what our peoples have in the main done, and must conceive of it. We must greet to do, in India, Egypt, and the Philippines alike. In the next place, as regards every race, everywhere, at home or abroad, we cannot afford to deviate from the great rule of righteousness which bids us treat each man on his worth as a man. He must not be sentimentally favored because he belongs to a given race; he must not be given immunity in wrong-doing, or permitted to cumber the ground, or given other privileges which would be denied to the vicious and unfit among themselves. On the other hand, we would entitle him to respect and reward if he were of our own stock, he is just as much entitled to that respect and reward if he comes of another stock, even though that other stock produces a much smaller proportion of men of his type than does our own. This has nothing to do with social intermingling, with what is called social equality. It has to do merely with the question of doing to each man and each woman that elementary justice which will permit him or her to gain from life the reward of doing to each woman a good job, sobriety, self-control, respect for the rights of others, and hard and intelligent work to a given end. To more than such just treatment no man is entitled, and less than such just treatment no man should receive. Duty of Nation to Nation. The other type of duty is the international duty, the duty owed by one nation to another. I hold that the laws of morality which should govern individuals in their dealings one with the other are just as binding concerning nations in their dealings one with the other. The application of the moral law must be different in the two cases, because in one case it is, as in the other it has the same meaning of a vival law behind it. The individual can depend for his rights upon the courts, which themselves derive their force from the police power of the state. The nation can depend upon nothing of the kind; and therefore, as things are now, it is the highest duty of the most advanced and freest peoples to keep themselves in such a state of readiness as to forbid to any one person the exercise of the progress of the world by striking down the nations that lead in that progress. It would be foolish indeed to pay heed to the unwise persons who desire disarmament to be begun by the very peoples who, of all others, should not be left helpless before any possible foe. But we must reprobate quite strongly both the leaders and the peoples who practise or encourage the strongest, and unlucky the strongest, the expense of the weak. We should tolerate lawlessness and wickedness neither by the weak nor by the strong; and both weak and strong we should in return treat with scrupulous fairness. The foreign policy of a great and self-respecting country should be conducted on exactly the same plane of honor, of insistence and of confidence, of respect for the rights of others, as when a brave and honorable man is dealing with his fellows. Permit me to support this statement out of my own experience. For nearly eight years I was the head of a great nation and charged especially with the conduct of its foreign policy; and during those years I took no action with reference to any other people on the face of the world. I was justified in taking as an individual in dealing with other individuals. I believe that we of the great civilized nations of today have a right to feel that long careers of achievement lie before our several countries. To each of us is vouchsafed the honorable privilege of doing his part, however small, in that work. Let us strive hardly for success, even if by so doing we risk failure, spurring the poor out of their misery, knowing neither failure nor success. Let us hope that our own blood shall continue in the land, that our children and children's children to endless generations shall arise to take our places and play a mighty and dominant part in the world. But whether this be denied or granted by the years we shall not see, let at least the satisfaction be ours that we have carried out and generation. If we do this, then, as our eyes close, and we go out into the darkness, and other hands grasp the torch, at least we can say that our part has been borne well and vallantly. Charity and Prudence. The contradictions of life are many. An observant man remarked recently that he was prowling about a certain city square, when he came upon a drinking fountain which bore two conflicting inscriptions. One, the original inscription on the fountain, was from the Bible: "And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely." Above this hung a placard: "Please do not waste the water."—Youth's Companion. WOMAN ESCAPES OPERATION Elwood, Ind.—"Your remedies have cured me and I have only taken six bottles of Lydia E.

The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis says that in seven states, Alabama, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oklahoma, Wyoming and Utah, with a combined population of over 5,000,000, not one bed for consumptives has been provided. In nine states and territories, Alaska, Delaware, Florida, Kansas, Mississippi, South Carolina, South Dakota, Vermont and West Virginia, the number of beds for consumptives in each case is less than fifty, while the combined population of these states is over 7,000,000. On the basis of 400 deaths to a million of population, which is approximately the present rate in the United States, there would be nearly 5,000 deaths annually from tuberculosis in these 14 states, with at least 20,000 cases of this disease all the time, and less than 500 beds to care for them.

A mother writes saying: "Our children are all so much better and stronger than they ever were before we made a change in the character of the food. We have quit using potatoes three times a day with coffee and so much meat. "Now we give the little folks some fruit, either fresh stewed, or canned, some Grape-Nuts with cream, occasionally some soft boiled eggs, and some Postum for breakfast and supper. Then for dinner they have some meat and vegetables. "It would be hard to realize the change in the children, they have grown so sturdy and strong, and we attribute this change to the food elements that, I understand, exist in Grape-Nuts and Postum.

Francis W. Griffin, commanding the battery. Thirteen of the men, two having been taken from the city prison, were placed in the transport's brig. During a baseball game at Ennis, Mont., Tuesday, freaky lightning struck a parasol in the hands of Mrs. M. F. Buck, and, running down the handle, knocked five men and four women to the ground. Mrs. Buck's corset was torn from her body and her shoes from her feet, but, although seriously injured, it is thought she will recover. All the victims are burned seriously, but a dog at the side of Mrs. Buck suffered the only fatality. Three hundred and fifty prospectors, the first party of stampeders to reach the new Iditarod gold fields have arrived at Iditarod City, Alaska, from Fairbanks after a three weeks' trip down the Yukon river. All agree that the stampede will be the greatest since the famous rush to the Klondike thirteen years ago, but many of the old-time gold seekers are pessimistic over the prospects for getting sudden wealth from the gravel along the banks of the Iditarod and Inoko rivers. Conservative estimates place the number of prospectors who will arrive there during the early summer at 5,000. Many men now on the ground express the opinion that the summer camp will not support more than 1,000 miners and that large numbers of the late comers are doomed to disappointment. WASHINGTON. The Senate Monday passed the minor amendments of the bill previously passed for agricultural entries on coal lands. A complete agreement between the government and the recently enjoined railroads of the Western Trunk Line Association was reached at a White House conference which lasted more than four hours Monday afternoon. The railroads agree to withdraw all rate increases filed to be effective on or after June 1st, and agreed to file no more increases until the bill in Congress that gives the Interstate Commerce Commission power to investigate and suspend increases becomes a law and is in operation. President Taft thereupon stated that the administration's purpose in bringing the injunction suit had been accomplished and that the suit would be discontinued. Conservation legislation in the Senate and the postal savings bank bill in the House constitute the features of the congressional program for the coming week. The general opinion is that both measures will be voted upon before Saturday night and that they will be sent to conference. T. L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers of America, had a long conference with President Taft Monday. The principal purpose of his call was to make some suggestions as to policies of the new bureau of mines recently created by Congress. GENERAL.

Henry," as the writer of short stories died Saturday at Polytechnic hospital. H. H. Morton, a traveling salesman for an Omaha grocery firm, was served with formaldehyde by mistake for mineral water in a drug store at Atlantic, Iowa, and died immediately.

Oxford Tuesday conferred upon Theodore Roosevelt the honorary degree of doctor of civil law. Prof. Goodwin Smith, eminent man of letters, died at his home in Toronto Tuesday, at the age of 87. A Peking cable dated Monday says: "Wednesday next a formal demand will be made on the throne for the immediate convocation of a national parliament by the delegates to the provincial assemblies, who have the support of organizations of merchants." Whether it was that he felt he had said enough to set the Britisher thinking by his Churchill speech on the occasion of receiving the freedom of the city, Col. Theodore Roosevelt went through a busy day and evening Monday without saying anything that the reporters thought worthy of recording. The most serious uprising with which the Mexican government has had to deal within a long time, has occurred in the state Yucatan, and troops are being rushed to the disturbed area. In the meantime, reports that have reached Vera Cruz indicate that there has been much bloodshed and that the insurgents are prepared for a battle with the government forces, which is sure to come soon. An earthquake, characterized by one severe and several minor shocks which occurred shortly after 4 o'clock Tuesday morning, wrought great havoc throughout the province of Avellino, in the department of Campanio, Italy. Reports indicate that half the buildings in Calitri have been wrecked. The number of killed in that place is estimated at from twenty-five to fifty, while scores have been seriously injured. From many other towns and villages come stories of fallen homes, death and suffering. SPORT. WESTERN LEAGUE W. L. Pet.

While a child there broke out a red sore on the legs just in back of my knees. It waxed from bad to worse, and at last I saw I had a bad skin disease. I tried many widely known doctors in different cities but to no satisfactory result. The plague bothered me more in warm weather than in winter and being on my leg joints it made it impossible for me to walk, and I was forced to stay indoors in the warmest weather. My hopes of recovery were by this time spent. Sleepless nights and restless days made life an unbearable burden. At last I was advised to try the Cuticura remedies [Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills] and I did not need more than a trial to convince me that I was on the road of success this time. I bought two sets of the Cuticura Remedies and after these were gone I was a different man entirely. I am now the happiest man that there is at least one true care for skin diseases. Leonard A.
