THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY "Colored Soldiers Must Go" Should they be forced to go? Some Reasons pointed out by the Seattle Republican why they should or should not go. Deep Race prejudice against them. VOL. XVI. "Colored diers N Should they be forced to go by the Seattle Republic should not go. Deep Ra "The colored soldiers must go," is the verdict of the excited and echoed by the daily press of Seattle, and they should go, if the above verdict meets the approval of a majority of the citizens in and about Seattle, for if they stay, as has already been pointed out by one of the daily papers, it might prove a menace to the peaceful relations that have existed between the whites and the blacks of this community for all these years, and no one desires to meet such a condition. Of two evils, always choose the lesser, and it is easier for the colored soldiers to move than the entire colored population of Seattle, which it would have to do, if it were made the target of race animosity and proscription by a majority of the white folk hereabouts. It may not be according to law and justice for either the colored soldiers or the colored civilians to have to move on from Seattle, where they have pitched their tents and settled down in a state of perfect satisfaction, but it is the vox populi, which is next to the vox dei. For the good therefore of their civilian brethren, who have cast their lots in Seattle and have acquired valuable property herein, it is ordered and decreed that the colored soldiers move on. The colored soldiers must go, yes, but should the colored soldiers be forced to go? They should, if the white folk of Seattle are willing to admit that they are completely incapacitated, owing to their bitter color prejudices, to administer justice to the black man the same as to the white, red and yellow man. They should, if the white folk of Seattle are prepared to admit to the world that a thousand or more good deeds on the part of colored soldiers are wiped out, lost sight of, count for naught, if one reprehensible act is laid at the door of one of their number. They should, if the white folk of Seattle are willing to admit that if there be one black sheep among a thousand colored soldiers, who conduct themselves as model men, they must all be branded as criminals, owing to the black sheep that occasionally blows up. They should, if the white folk of this community are willing to publicly admit white solvers with the bloody criminal rec- left in Seattle by the regiment ORIGINAL IN POOR CONDITION which preceded the twenty-fifth infantry, is more preferable to them than the colored soldiers with their good records, with the exception of the overt act of Private Bledser, who plead guilty and is now a state convict. They should, if the crime of Bledser, who at the time was in a beastly state of intoxication, counts for more than the crime of the white soldiers that killed a white woman in a Seattle lodging house. They should, if slight offenses on the part of colored soldiers are looked upon as more heinous than grave offenses on the part of white soldiers. They should, if the white folk of this community are willing to admit that the degree of crime depends upon the color of the criminal. They should, if the white folk of this community desire it to go abroad that the American Negro is persona non grata on the streets of Seattle. It is said that the young Spartan men of ancient Greece were taught to steal by government instructors and at the age of maturity were sent on a mission of public and private pilfering, but if caught were sent to prison, not for the crime of stealing, but for getting caught. The white folk of Seattle permitted a drink resort to be opened near the fort where the soldiers were solicited to spend their leisure moments and swill "drunk water" to their heart's content. Crazed by excessive drink, the wonder is the soldiers in that state did not attempt to outrage men, women, children and even electric light poles. The white man sowed to the wind in permitting a drink resort in a resident portion of the city, and especially so near the fort, and he has reaped a whirlwind. The mayor of Seattle, who is so lustily calling for the removal of the colored soldiers, had no sooner taken his seat as mayor of Seattle than did the gambling dives throw open their doors, and have been running in full blast ever since. The mayor of Seattle has permitted the opening of one of the most notorious tenderloin districts perhaps in all the civilized world, to which those colored soldiers were invited to frequent, and once there, were thrown in company with the most DENVER. COLORADO, SATURDAY, JUNE 25 1910. criminal classes of all colors and nations on the face of the earth. If the colored soldiers under such circumstances have strayed from the straight and narrow path, they have not done any more than hundreds of criminal civilians are doing in Seattle every day. It is awfully poor policy for persons living in glass houses to begin to throw stones at the other fellow. Had Seattle remained a closed town, as it was under MayorMiller, a great deal of the alleged trouble with the colored soldiers would have been averted. Like the Spartan, however, the colored soldier was invited to be bad, yes, damn bad, and like the Spartan was punished for getting caught. Mayor H. C. Gill a few weeks before he was elected mayor defended in the Superior Court a number of colored persons accused of committing crimes against the peace and dignity of this state, some of whom were found guilty, and yet it never occurred to any one to have all the colored folk run out of Seattle because one or two or a great many of them had been found guilty of criminal acts. After he had been elected mayor his chief of police uncovered a robbers' roost in one of the colored clubs of the tenderloin district, in which thieves were schooled and their loot cached. One of the men caught confessed, plead guilty and is now in state prison, others are awaiting trial, but that club is running in full blast. Neither the mayor or the chief of police has thought it wise to have all the colored folk driven from the city because those criminals had annoyed a hundred or more homes. It seems just as unreasonable to demand that the twenty-fifth regiment be sent away from Seattle in disgrace, because one of their number has committed a heinous offense, as it would have been to have advised that all the colored people who own homes in Seattle, dispose of them on short notice and leave the city because some of their number had been found guilty of crime. If it's a weakness of the human family to commit crimes it would be expecting a good deal to find perfection in the colored man, especially when you remember he has lived among the whites ever since he was unwillingly brought to the United States by the white man. It was looked upon in ancient days as impossible for the Ethiopian to change his color, but the modern genius has demonstrated the fallacy of that theory, for of the ten million Negroes in the United States, fully one-half of them are of a varigated complexion and some of them so white as to be frequently mistaken for white folk, and the impression has gone out that the white and not the black man is responsible for this super- natural change. He who comes to the front through great trials and tribulations is considered superior mentally and otherwise to him who comes in a four horse chariot and, perhaps, that has become so firmly fixed in the minds of the white man, so far as the black man is concerned, that in knocking him down he reasons he will be a greater and more powerful character when he rises. With that as a motto, let the good citizens of Seattle, backed by the powerful daily press, beat down every black man and woman in the entire community. Make it just as hard for them to exist as one human being with all of the advantages at his command can make it for another with no advantages. Brand the black babies in the cradle as dangerous criminals. Insult the black women and denounce them as moral lepers and their home as rendezvous for the black male criminals. Be careful to make no exception to the rule, for do not all coons look alike? Aid the real estate thieves to drive the Negro soldiers from Fort Lawton so that speculation will be a little more lively in that section, for they need money. RACIAL MEETING Philadelphia, June 13.—The concluding session of a two-day conference on the race question is being held here to-night at Zion Baptist church. Prominent white and colored men have delivered addresses, many of which advised that the colored people constrain themselves more closely to public opinion, especially in matters regarding public deportment and civic duties. A protest against disfranchisement, separate cars and other restrictions which are hampering the race was also made. The call for the meeting mentioned the recent statement of J. Parnell Stemons that the race is lower today in the essentials of auto-emancipation from many of the things that hinder their pro-progress. Murray Ice Cream Company. Washington, D. C.—Mr. Emanuel Murray has a plant capable of producing 300 gallons—to be exact he has turned out as much as 365 gallons daily. His ice cream equals that of white establishments which still keep up their proscriptive methods. He sells his creamst the standard one—at ninety cents a gallon, wholesale, and packs in quantities to suit. Unopened cans can be returned without cost to the purchaser. RACE NEWS Milwaukee has the honor of being the first city in the United States to have colored girls ushers at one of the leading theatres—the Majestic. These young ladies are well liked by the management. They are polite and courteous to the patrons of the theatre. Youngstown, Ohio, June 13.—An application made by local colored soldiers in the National Guard has been turned down in the Adjutant General's office. The promoters have been active in the matter for some time, but the two local companies tried to discourage it. When the matter was carried to Columbus, it was said that youngstown having two companies was sufficient. bulk of the million or more appropriated will be throughout the South among a thrifty and a class of colored people make good use of it, in their farms and homes.ate committee has voted mend its passage and will take similar action make assurance doubly Negro of influence shi his congressman and vote for the measure comes up for action.

He gives electrical treatment for sore eyes and nervous headaches Makes spectacles and eye glasses and guarantees to give satisfaction. Dr. Scott does all of his own word. He does not send down town to have others do it for him. He treats hybemetropia, astigmatism and strabismus scientifically. Clarksville, Okla.—Congressman Chas. E. Creager, Republican Congressman from this district, has recommended the appointment of Allen S. Peal to be postmaster of this place. Mr. Peal, who is a colored man, stands high in this community, and is splendidly equipped. He was formerly from Ohio, the same state from which Congressman Creager hails, and is a graduate of the Ohio State University at Columbus, Ohio, the alma mater of Congressman Creager. Mr. Peal has been a teacher since coming to Oklahoma. He is a Spanish-American War veteran, as is also Congressman Creager. The efforts put forth by Congressman Creager to take care of his colored constituents has endeared him to all the colored voters in this state. It is expected that the bill to reimburse the depositors of the Freedmen's Bank will become a law at this session of Congress. The support of the Democratic members is being brought to the measure, and they seem very favorably disposed toward it, as the NO.41 bulk of the million or more dollars appropriated will be distributed throughout the Southern States among a thrifty and industrious class of colored people, who will make good use of it, in developing their farms and homes. The Senate committee has voted to recommend its passage and the House will take similar action soon. To make assurance doubly sure, every Negro of influence should write his congressman and urge him to vote for the measure when it comes up for action. In Gordonville, Va., A. G. Gordon owns a broom factory which he planted seventeen years ago having but one employee, and that was himself. Today there are six persons working in that establishment—all members of the Gordon family. The daily output, with hand power is ten dozen brooms. He finds a market for his brooms in Richmond, Alexandria and Orange, where he sells to white jobbers. He is so overrun with orders that he is now preparing to install machinery to be operated by electric power, so as to be able to meet the demands for his brooms, which have the reputation of being of a superior quality and make. By the aid of machinery, he will then be in a position to turn off daily fifty dozen, instead of ten dozen brooms. Mobile, Ala., June 11.—Prof. Kelly Miller, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences of Howard University, spoke to the Negroes of Mobile Monday night of this week. Prof. Miller is making a tour of the South crusading against crime, and in his lecture said: "The Negro today, constituting twelve per cent. of the population contributes thirty-two per cent of crimes committed." As an explanation of this disproportion Prof. Miller said that the Negroes of the United States constitute the submerged stratum, from which the largest proportion of crime comes in all countries. "Crime," said the lecturer, "is a question of conditions, not one of color." Prof. Miller said further: "Taking the Southern courts as a whole, the Negro in some cases is treated with unusual severity, and in others with unusual leniency. Balacing the two extremes, however, he gets substantial justice; but there is a difference between fairness and justice. This latter remark is the result of a discovery that the punishment is greater and more speedily inflicted for crimes against the Negro race.

THE CLOSED DOOR While chimerical socialists of the extremer brand, like Francis Darrow, dream wildly of a day when white and black shall intermarry and forget there was ever such a thing as a race problem, President Taft is not ashamed to express a more practical, and perforce, a more popular view of the relations of the races in this country, as was instanced by his address at the commencement exercises of Lincoln University, near Oxford, Pennsylvania, on June 18. Discussing the race problem before the Negro students and a great gathering of citizens, Mr. Taft expressed views regarding the kind of education that is best for the Negro, which were similar to those previously declared by him at other meetings, favoring all kinds of educational training but placing the most value upon industrial education. But the Negro race must have leaders, he maintained, and those leaders can be secured only through higher education. Then declaring that the two races are getting along better together every decade, he closed the widening door of hope with a sudden bang when he said, "The Negroes and the whites do not amalgamate, and it is not necessary that they should." Here is the kernel in President Taft's policy regarding the relations of the races, and the first clear-cut expression he has ever made of views heretofore regarded as complex and perhaps vague. "Go as far as you can, but remember that you must remain a separate and distinct element in a nation of numerous elements otherwise amalgamated," is a fair interpretation of the President's meaning. His official policy has followed the line of this belief. Wherever white men object on the ground of social repugnance, no Negro can expect to hold office under President Taft. Dr. Wm. D. Crum has just been appointed minister to Liberia to conciliate conditions for collector of the port of Charleston. There will be more adjustments along this line. But the deeper meaning is to the race at large, not to its politicians. It means that equal opportunity, equal liberty, equal citizenship is not for the Negro, because the white man thinks it is not necessary. Although we know that the white man thinks this, the open declaration by the President will be considered rather startling. It has been considered more diplomatic heretofore to give this phase of the question silent reference to the unfathomable development of the future. But President Taft dispels the futile hope and banishes the cruel deception. The illusion of the socialist is foolish; the condition he dreams of is impossible and unnecessary. Without knowing why, the Negro does not want to believe this. He wants to be an American citizen in the complete sense and not in any special sense. If it is impossible and unnecessary, it is about time he began studying the tangent along which the lure of happiness will lead him. RULE OF THE PEOPLE. HAVING heretofore expressed its disbelief in the efficacy of any policy which would require the allignment of the colored people of the United States with one social class of the white population and against another, particularly with the poor against the rich or well-to-do, as a political panacea for race ills, the Colorado Statesman now finds itself more in harmony with a new proposition which, for its acceptance and success, relies on the belief that all classes of the people who desire a return to the standards of honest government and a square deal among all classes of citizens, will soon be forced to unite, perhaps under a new banner, for the realization of the reforms so plainly necessary and the abolition of conditions intolerable to the poor and to all other classes alike, except a single favored class. That there is something radically wrong with legislation when, without natural or tangible necessity, the cost of living nearly doubles in a decade while wages remain almost at a standstill or take a downward course, is a belief that is becoming widespread. That the most of the suffering, the hard conditions, the unnatural competition and striving between classes, the tardiness of reforms and of progressive development whose necessity is conceded, is due to dishonesty in politics and the control of legislation by great special interests, combined and made powerful by the ability to command fabulous wealth, is a resulting conviction which threatens the future of all the present political organizations alike. The trusts, with their bold, relentless and arrogant manifestations of power, regardless of the title of the political party supposed to be exercising control, are at the bottom of all the political unrest prevalent among the people of all sections and classes. The strifes which they engender are to their liking, so long as they succeed in arraigning class against class, for well they know that such strife is never ending, because it partakes of the spirit of selfishness. Likewise, little do they care what party is in nominal control, so long as party regularity is considered of greater importance than the conscientious regard of individuals for the rights and the needs of all the people. These policies encourage race antagonism in the South and labor or other class conflicts in the North. General results are the same, so far as the final interest of the real powers are concerned. Colorado is considered a normal Republican state and Denver is still believed to be a normal Republican city, but both city and state have been repeatedly turned over to the Democrats or the so-called reform elements under the plea, accepted by the people, that the Republican party had ignored the rights of classes or neglected specific demands, the performance of which was vital to the immediate welfare of city or state. Whether the argument was true or not, the successful contestants have achieved no better results for the people than their predecessors achieved, and in glaring instances have made sorrier showings. The Democratic legislature was an incompetent and expensive experiment which now threatens to inflict upon the people a repetition of uselessness in the cause of legislation which can result in nothing further than the sowing of a wider field of class strife. The city government is no less susceptible to organization or corporation influence than it has ever been known to be, and there is no active influence at work in Denver today that is not selfish or class-controlled. This is not the condition which the people have faintly conceived and the fuller sense of which they are awakening. There must come a greater revolution which shall not depend upon class strife or meaningless issues, but which shall not only promise but insure to all the people the peaceful and honest conservation of their interests by representatives who acknowledge no masters other than the people themselves. By G. WELLESLEY BRABBIT HEN does the business of an employer justify his taking another employee upon his pay roll? It all depends upon the employer and in a double sense. Smith, we will assume, has five men on his office staff. Two or three evenings a week he gives these five men 50 cents each to pay for dinner downtown, after which the five men work from 7:30 to 9:00 o'clock, overtime. "You see," explains Smith, provided he explains at all, "there isn't work enough to justify another man and while work is crowding we'll have to put in a little overtime to tide us over." But what is this actual situation, reduced to cold, calculating figures? Suppose that Smith's force puts in a nine-hour day, ordinarily. Suppose that his five men work two evenings a week from 7:30 to 9:00 o'clock. This is three hours extra a week for each man, or a total of 15 hours a week, for which the employer pays a total of $5 a week for the ten dinners. In this period of overtime, whether of weeks or months, the fact is that there is work enough during the week to justify the engaging of another employee for a day and a half, on a basis of a nine-hour day. Two mornings in each of these weeks this employer allows five men, insufficiently rested and recuperated, to appear for a full day's work. No man of them may feel at heart the least sense of imposition. But does any one of them feel on these two mornings physically and mentally fit for his normal day's work? Isn't it possible that—spared the tax of three extra hours of night work—one or more of them through greater mental and physical activity and initiative might have accomplished more than the value represented by another man's salary on the pay roll? This question of when the services of another employee is needed to an office force, especially, is so delicately balanced that only a broad-minded employer always is able to adjust it in wisdom. Too often the employer is willing to dismiss the question on the narrow basis of the employees' entire willingness to stay overtime. "Why, they don't mind it," he says, under question. "I've got men out there who have been with me ten years or more and I never saw one of them scowl in my life when he was asked to work in the evening." But the entire willingness of the employee to work extra hours easily might be the best reason in the world why he shouldn't be asked to do so. The fact that he is willing to work indicates that he has had an appre- s willing to work indicates that he has made an upper ceiative employer in many respects. That wise employer of a competent man who has gained the loyalty of his employee more frequently finds reason to suggest that his loyal employee "slow up a little" than he finds cause to punch him up. In the measured working day it must be taken for granted that this decent, loyal employee year after year will find occasion enough to tax himself in his service. Which makes extra night hours a distinct risk. A. H. Wagner's Music Bring's Doleful Sounds By JAMES J. HAHN closely resembling the St. Vitus dance, accompanied with symptoms of chronic rheumatism in the hair. If one hasn't "subconscious appreciation" of "Vogner," there is no harmony in him. At least that is what I infer from some of the wonderfully constructed criticisms in the daily newspapers. One gentleman, however, told the truth about a recent performance when he remarked that "grateful musical moments in 'Parsifal' are rare." As a matter of fact it appears to me that, barring a portion of "Lohengrin" and the "Rienzi" march, Wagner's music sounds like the boisterous and doleful productions emanating from a horse fiddle at a country charivari, to produce which nothing is required but a dry-goods box, a piece of 2 by 4 scantling and a hunk of beeswax. I realize that these reflections upon the efforts of the great master are likely to bring down upon the devoted head the indignation of people who throw fits over the racket of the Wagner stunts, but we who love harmony rather than a hubbub, to whom melody appeals rather than crashes of meaningless sound, are prepared to meet the attack in a meek and lowly spirit. But we refuse to cough up $7 per the privilege of having our musical senses assaulted, torn to shreds and cast aside. Frats Spoil Young School Boy By WILLIAM HARD Pretty soon, however, the Central Cryptic conclave of the national organization of Mu Mu Mu establishes a local chapter in the school and the new Mu Mu Mu's come tagging along and endeavor to hobnob. A farther remove becomes necessary. This time it is half a mile down the street to Kelly's new store, well known as "The Blink," where one can vibrate quite familiarly for a few minutes around the free lunch counter. What now is the dietetic, hygienic, etc., dairy lunch served at cost in the school lunchroom by the local woman's club? What, even, are Greek peanuts and ice cream? A tub of arsenicated suds for us, and a couple of condemned wienerwursts! Life is on the wing! (It is curious how exclusiveness runs to sportiness, when one is very young. But it always has done so and it always will.) T Depends Upon Employer in Double Sense We are informed that the old familiar tuneful operas like "Trovatore," "Martha," "Fra Diavolo" and the like have been tabooed, discountenanced and relegated to the back tier of the musical morgue. Henceforth nothing goes in polite circles, at least until the mad fancy subsides, but "Parsifal," "Gotterdammerung" and other noisy, crashing compositions of the Wagnerian school, in which an old-fashioned copper hotel gong appears to be the premier instrument in the orchestra, and a fat tenor, clad in a curious and funny fur bib, every few minutes thrashes himself into a state Those Pi Phi Psi boys, for instance (to take the history of a certain fraternity in one of the Chicago high schools for an illustration), soon observe that almost everybody eats lunch in the school lunchroom. And many of the persons there have brought their lunch with them from home in paper bags and old shoe boxes. Such persons are not interesting associates, says William Hard, in Everybody's. The members of Pi Phi Psi, all of whom used to eat in the lunchroom, now go down the street at the noon hour to Gianakopenopoulo's fruit store and purchase an We Have Moved Into Our New Exclusive Carpet and ```markdown ``` No. 1640 to 1646 California Street—Next Door to Cooper & Powell We want you all to come and get your Rugs, Carpets, Oil Cloths, Linoleum; also Curtains and Shades at Less Price and of Better Quality than Anybody Else Will Offer You.

Hahn quotes from a Nottingham newspaper the fact that inventions by British women are broadening very much in their scope, and are now including many articles with which one would suppose women would not be intimately acquainted. About 600 patents are now granted to British women annually. Formerly these patents were confined to the dainty order of things, but they now cover the broader sphere of mechanism. Some of the more effective recent improvements in sewing machines, automobiles and even marine engines and motors have been patented by British women. Patents for inventions relating to flying machines have been applied for by British women, and they have also directed inventive attention to railroad cars and to wireless telegraphy.

THE Colorado Statesman 1824 Curtis Street ELDEST SON OF ROOSEVELT WEDS Theodore, Jr., and Miss Eleanor Alexander Are Married. CULMINATION OF LOVE MATCH Former President Witnesses Ceremony in New York Church—San Francisco to Be Home of the Couple. New York.—Of all the June weddings of 1910, the one that has aroused the most general interest was that of Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., and Miss Eleanor Alexander which was celebrated in the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church on June 20. A large number of prominent people witnessed the ceremony, but naturally the most noticed person in the church, after the bride and groom, was Col. Theodore Roosevelt, father of the young man who was entering the state Reading from left to right: Theodore worth, Larz Anderson. THE FIRST WORLD WAR of matrimony. The date of the wedding had been set to permit the attendance of the former president, and this was one of his very first social engagements after his return from abroad, for he landed in New York only two days before. Mrs. Snowden Fahnestock, who before her own recent marriage was Miss Elizabeth Bertron, was the matron of honor, and the bridesmaids were Miss Ethel Roosevelt, Miss Jessie Millington-Drake, Miss Janetta Alexander, Miss Jean Delano and Miss Harriet Alexander. Rev. Henry M. Sanders, a great uncle of the bride, officiated, assisted by Dr. Gordon Russell of Cranford, N. J. but he continued to live quietly in a modest boarding house. Many persons were skeptical as to whether young Roosevelt would stick to so proslaic an existence, but he is evidently determined to win his fortune in this sphere. The ff in farington. Mrs. farington, who is engaged to Mr. Tom Curtis, is the widow of the late Mr. W. E. farington of Worden, Lancashire.

Alexander. At least a part of the honeymoon will be spent at Sagamore Hill, the country home of the Roosevelt family at Oyster Bay, Long Island. Later in the summer the young couple will start for San Francisco, where Mr. Roose- THE HOME OF THE HERITAGE CLUB The Roosevelt Home at Oyster Bay. welt is to be in charge of the interests of the carpet manufacturing firm with which he has been associated for some time. The love story of the young couple has been a quick-moving romance. Their engagement was announced only last winter, and the news was cabled to Colonel Roosevelt, resulting in the speedy receipt of his approval and congratulations. The bride, who is the daughter of Henry Addison Alexander of New York, is twenty-one years old, of a little more than medium height, slender, and of very attractive appearance, having an especially beautiful complexion. She is as animated as her famous sister-in-law, Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Longworth, whose house guest she was for a time just before Mrs. Longworth sailed for England to join her father. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., strongly resembles his father in looks, but is decidedly reserved and is generally credited with being far less democratic than certain other members of the family. As a boy he rode horseback and engaged in all the other outdoor pursuits of the juvenile Roosevelt clan at their home at Oyster Bay and he took some part in athletics during his preparatory school course at Groton and his collegiate course at Harvard, but in the main he has been less enthusiastic on the subject of life in the open than his father and brother Kermit. He has always been of a studious nature and his romance with Miss Alexander is said to have had its beginnings in the mutual love of these young people for music. For all that "Teddy, Jr." has eschewed the sensational in outdoor athletics, he did participate two years ago in a balloon flight from Washington, in which he and the two army officers who were his fellow passengers had some rather exciting experiences. There was no little surprise on the part of the public when Theodore, Jr., upon the completion of his college course two years ago, chose a business career as his life work, and still more wonder was aroused when he took employment in a Connecticut carpet factory in order to gather knowledge at first hand of the practical side of carpet manufacture. He started at the lowest round of the ladder, as an unskilled workman at a small salary. Of course he was promoted as he mastered the intricacies of the business, Roosevelt, Jr., Mrs. Roosevelt, Mrs. Long- but he continued to live quietly in a modest boarding house. Many persons were skeptical as to whether young Roosevelt would stick to so prosaic an existence, but he is evidently determined to win his fortune in this sphere. The ff in ffarington.

The spelling of this ancient name with the small "ff" found in old manuscripts is merely the retention of the old form of capital "F." Deeds of conveyance in the time of George II. and III. recite: "George of Great Britain france and Ireland King," etc.; the form could not therefore be due to ignorance, as has been said, for in days when gentiemen of estate were gentlemen of quality such a spelling in deeds could hardly arise from lack of knowledge of spelling. The faringtons of Worden hall, Lancashire, prefer, like several other well known families, including the ffolkes THE BAR and frenches, to retain the archaic capital "ff." The family trace their descent from Hugo de Meolls, who came to England with the Conqueror, and they have been associated for generations with the court, army and church, and with public life.—From the Court Journal. Raven's Sharp Trick. The best talking-bird new to the big collection in the London "Zoo" is a raven who came to the aviary last year. "Hullo! Jack!" is his favorite remark, and it is the voice of one who meets an unworthy friend. Soon after he arrived he used his conversational powers with great effect upon a lammergeler who shares his cage (relates the London Spectator). The lammergeler had a piece of meat which the raven desired, but he was unwilling to surrender it. The raven hopped up. "Hullo! Jack!" he began, and the lammergeler, aghast at the voice of man, dropped his dinner and fled. But the lammergeler was never a bird of much spirit. RECOGNIZES A GOOD WORK Ex-President Roosevelt Pays Enthusiastic Tribute to Mission Hospitals. In Uganda, Mr. Roosevelt responded to an invitation to open a new addition to the Mengo C. M. S. hospital. Mr. Roosevelt said: "Long before I came here I had known of the work that was being done in Uganda, and felt particularly anxious to see it. Here you have a particularly intelligent native race, which has already developed a very interesting culture of its own, a culture both political and social. And the great work must of necessity be to try to help that race onward, and to try to do it in a practical fashion, and to do it so that the doing of it shall be primarily a benefit to the race, and, secondly, a benefit to your own people from whom you come. "I have the strongest feeling as to the good that is being done by the medical missionary. There must be some visible fruit in the life and work of the man who preaches if his preaching is going to have a very great effect upon those to whom he preaches. That visible fruit can be shown in many different ways, and one of the most efficient ways of showing it is by just such work as is being done in connection with this building, which it will naturally be a source of peculiar pride to myself to have my name associated with, and which I now take pleasure in declaring to be open."

Wrong Diagnosis. A drummer was taken ill suddenly. He went to see a physician of considerable standing, and the following conversation ensued: "I feel very sick," declared the drummer. "What's the trouble?" asked the physician. "Severe pain in my side." "Humph," said the doctor slowly, "I think you have appendicitis." "You have made a mistake, doctor," replied the salesman. "I'm not a millionaire, just a plain drummer." "Well, I guess you just have the cramps, then," replied the indignant personage. "Five dollars, please." Why He Whitewashed. A country doctor tells a story of a man who moved into a dilapidated old cottage, and was found by the doctor busily whitewashing it inside and out. "I'm glad to see you making this old place so nice and neat," sald the physician, "it's been an eyesore in the neighborhood for years." "Tain't nothing to me about eyesores," was the reply. "The last couple what lived here had twins three times, and I hope whitewash is a good disinfectant. Ye see we've got ten children." How's This?

WASHINGTON GOSSIP How One Senator Viewed the Comet Oklahoma Kids See Sights of Capital Oklahoma Kids See Sights of Capital Millionaire Soldier Causes Big Stir WASHINGTON.—"Labor-saving devices are always in demand; the thousand inventors of this country are all devoting 90 per cent. of their time to producing such things, each in the hope of winning for himself fame and fortune, cash and credit," said a patent attorney the other day in Washington. "One of the strangest of these schemes to lighten the world's work is a patent recently obtained by an ingenious person in Des Moines, Ia. It is called the self-tipping hat, and is designed to save the popular person from the fatiguing labor of removing his hat every time he meets one of the fair sex with whom he is acquainted. "Much valuable energy is utilized in tipping the hat repeatedly," says the inventor, 'and my device will relieve one of it and at once cause the hat to be lifted from the head in a natural manner.' It is a novel device, in other words, 'for effecting polite salutations by the elevation and rotation of the hat on the head of the saluting party, when said person bows to the person saluted, the actuation of the hat being produced by mechanism within it, and without the use of the hands in any manner.' "No truly rural person ever could "I HAD no particular interest in Halley or his comet," says Senator Simmons of North Carolina, "but Mrs. Simmons had. Every morning while the papers were full of the phenomenon, we would get up at two or three o'clock. Then Mrs. Simmons would lead me to a window and point out a dark line in the sky. It didn't look much of a comet to me, but she insisted that it was, and I took her word for it. One morning we went through our regular performance. The more I looked then the less I was convinced that we had seen the comet at all. At length, after an investigation, I discovered that our 'comet' was the dim outline of a church steeple against the sky. Nice performance for a dignified senator to rise every morning to look at a steeple." All of the members of the house are not acquainted with each other, and this often leads to funny mistakes. THE unusual privilege of the floor of the house of representatives was granted to Louis and Temple Abernathy, sons of United States Marshal "Jack" Abernathy of Frederick, Okla., a few days ago. The boys, who are nine and six respectively, rode their ponies from their home in Oklahoma to New York, where they were to meet their friend, Colonel Roosevent. On their way they stopped in Washington for a few days. "Uncle Joe" Cannon was responsible for the appearance of Louls and Temple on the floor. They wore their sombreros and long cowboy pants tucked into boots, and the six-year-old had upon the front of his top piece a deputy United States marshal's badge. They were the breezest things in the juvenile line to have struck Capitol bill recently. The congressmen gasped THEY are fussed up out at Fort Myer, where the cavalry has its headquarters. Recently a Washington youth, who got tired of his ways and the ways of the world in general, and who had sufficient money to go those ways swiftly, decided to enlist. He did so in the ordinary manner. Then one day when he had leave an automobile was drawn up outside of the fort and the recruit sauntered out and got into it. The officers saw him driven away, and their amazement was considerable. The lines are definitely drawn at the fort. There are several streets with square houses have been responsible for the invention of eyeglasses for chickens, which was protected by United States patents recently. The glasses are modeled much after the fashion of grandpa's 'specs,' the nose rest being enlarged to go over the chicken's head, while the ear hooks are joined in the back. "No claim is made that the chicken's eyesight is poor, or that magnifiers ever are needed that it may the better discover the reluctant worm or the elusive bug, but the inventor does say that the glasses 'are designed to prevent chickens pecking out each other's eyes.' The inventor's attempt to enforce all chickens to wear the device by legislative action in Kansas did not succeed. I may say. "Members of secret societies, who sometimes may be put to much trouble to secure a sufficiently iracible goat for the purpose of initiating new members to their respective lodges, will be glad to learn that the inventive genius of America has come to their assistance. The device is a mechanical goat, which can be put in the closet when not needed; that requires no feeding and practically no care. Also, it may be handled by its keeper without fear of consequences. "The candidate, blindfolded, is led to the side of the animal, and on it he takes his seat, placing his feet in stirrups on either side. As the goat is pushed about the lodgeroom a series of wheels and rods, geared to the wheels on which it runs, causes the animal to buck and rear in a fearful manner, keeping the candidate in continual danger of being shaken off. Though Adam Monroe Byrd has been in four congresses, he made one of these mistakes the other day. Byrd was making a tariff speech. He comes from Mississippi, and, of course, he thinks the present tariff is about the worst bill that could have been framed. He reached the woolen schedule, and he went up and down the aisle, directly addressing first one member and then another. At length he paused at a desk occupied by a small man with a Van Dyke beard. Byrd allowed to this small man that the woolen schedule was vicious. The small man nodded sympathetically. Byrd pounded the small man's desk vehemently. "Knowing all the things I have said to be true, why did you vote for this schedule?" Byrd demanded of the small man. "I did not vote for it." "You mean to tell this house that you did not vote for the tariff bill?" "I do," said the small man. "Well," said Byrd, "I admire you for your convictions." By this time the house was splitting its sides. The small man was Representative Edward W. Saunders of Virginia, who is, of course, a Democrat, and who, equally, of course, did not vote for the Payne bill. and flocked around them. "How do you like Washington?" the speaker asked the youngsters. "Bully," said the boys, who used to know President Roosevelt, and had some White House slang. "Well, my lads," said the speaker, "this city belongs to 90,000,000 of people. You own just as much of it as Andrew Carnegie or John D. Rockefeller." The baby deputy marshal looked very important. He gazed longingly out of the window as much as to say that if he could have his share he would take the Washington monument. "How much do you ride?" asked the speaker. "Oh, forty or fifty miles a day," answered the wolf-catcher's son. "You kids! You mean a week," said the speaker. The Abernathys looked bored. "Naw," they said, "a day. We make 50 miles a day easy." "But the army test," said Uncle Joe, "that's 90 miles in three days. I thought that was a pretty severe test in horseback riding, for grown men, too." and neat lawns in front. In these houses the officers live. The privates mess together in the big main building in the inclosure. The officers couldn't quite see a private coming to and from headquarters in a machine. But they couldn't help themselves, because he was entitled to certain leaves, and when he got them he was at liberty to ride in a balloon if he so chose. Then, to cap the climax, one night there was a ball at a swagger downtown hotel. It was given by members of the "set" in which the young soldier had been wont to move. He was invited and he went. The officers cast many icy stares his way, but he let them go. So far there has been a lot of talk in officers' row at Fort Myer, but there has been no action. It is saddening to a gilt-braid man's heart to see a thing like this and to be able to do nothing about it.

Mark Twain, as an example of unconscious humor, used to quote a Hartford woman who said one day in the late spring: "My husband is the dearest fellow. 'Jim,' I said to him this morning, 'are you very hard up just now?' "I certainly am hard up,' he replied soberly. 'This high cost of living is terrible. I don't know what I'm going to do.' "Then, Jim,' said I, 'I'll give up all thought of going to the country for July and August this year.' "But the dear fellow's face changed, and he said: "Indeed, then, you won't, darling. I thought you wanted to buy a hat with an algrette or some such foolishness. No, no, my darling—Jim can always find the money to let his dear little wife go to the country." Conditional Piety. Two Scotch fishermen, James and Sandy, belated and befogged on a rough water, were in some trepidation lest they should never get ashore again. At last Jamie said: "Sandy, I'm steering, and I think you'd better put up a bit of prayer." "I don't know how," said Sandy. "If ye don't I'll chuck ye overboard," said Jamie. Sandy began: "Oh, Lord, I never asked anything of ye for fifteen years, and if ye'll only get us safe back, I'll never trouble ye again, and—" "Whilst, Sandy," said Jamie. "The boat's touched shore; don't be beholden to anybody."—Short Stories. An Almost Universal Prayer. "Among the late Bishop Foss' anecdotes about prayer," said a Philadelphia Methodist, "there was one concerning a very original Norristown preacher. "This preacher, in the course of a long prayer one Sunday night, recounted the many misfortunes and evils that had befallen him in the course of his long life. Then, sighing heavily, he prayed: "Thou hast tried me with affliction, with bereavement, and with sorrow of many kinds. If thou are obliged to try me again, Lord, try me with the burden of wealth." A DETERMINED WOMAN Finally Found a Food That Cured Her "When I first read of the remarkable effects of Grape-Nuts food, I determined to secure some," says a woman in Salisbury, Mo. "At that time there was none kept in this town, but my husband ordered some from a Chicago traveler. "I had been greatly afflicted with sudden attacks of cramps, nausea, and vomiting. Tried all sorts of remedies and physicians, but obtained only temporary relief. As soon as I began to use the new food the cramps disappeared and have never returned. "My old attacks of sick stomach were a little slower to yield, but by continuing the food, that trouble has disappeared entirely. I am today perfectly well, can eat anything and everything I wish, without paying the penalty that I used to. We would not keep house without Grape-Nuts." "My husband was so delighted with the benefits I received that he has been recommending Grape-Nuts to his customers and has built up a very large trade on the food. He sells them by the case to many of the leading physicians of the county, who recommend Grape-Nuts very generally. There is some satisfaction in using a really scientifically prepared food."

FOR LARGER CAPITAL VIRGINIA URGED TO RESTORE LAND TO NATION'S CAPITAL. Former Senator Chandler Makes Appeal to Old Dominion State and Predicts a Boom in Property Values. In an appeal to all Virginians, contained in a letter to Senator Thomas S. Martin of Virginia, former Senator William E. Chandler of New Hampshire urges all citizens of the Old Dominion to give back to the nation the Virginia part of the original District of Columbia. U.S. CAPITAL "The nation wants it as a part of Washington's municipality," he says. "Virginia loses nothing by the restoration, but makes a great gain." Mr. Chandler's argument is based on the future development of the national capital and of the Virginia portion to be restored. "Washington is going to be one of the finest capitals in the world," he says. "Millions of dollars are going to be expended here by an admiring and willing people, now 90,000,000 strong. The national government must have sole jurisdiction over the shore line opposite Washington and a few miles beyond. "I believe the land will double in cash value within three years after the reunion. I am sure the land directly opposite the city will so double, and I do not doubt that every piece of real estate in Alexandria will so multiply immediately. Very shortly the increased taxation outside the district, in Virginia, will more than equal all the taxation now imposed which will be lost to Virginia. "Not only will the land and buildings within the district on the Virginia side be shortly doubled in value, but so will nearly all the real estate within a few miles from the Virginia side. This is also inevitable. Today, not being a part of the nation's capital, the land is sparsely settled, slightly built over, and all of moderate value. With restoration of the Virginia shore to Washington there will come a fine city of South Washington in Virginia, to develop in a hundred years into a metropolis of public buildings and monuments hardly inferior to those of North Washington. "When this happens the land adjoining Washington for miles on the south will be as valuable as the lands in Maryland on the north have become. These are growing more valuable with every day of the capital's prosperity and attractiveness. Few of us realize the rapid strides Washington is making in wealth and loveliness. It is bound to be the great winter resort of America. "It cannot be that the citizens of Virginia will be insensible to the benefits to be derived by the state from having within its borders one-half the capital city of the nation. Baltimore and Washington every day become more and more one community. Closer than now will become Richmond and Washington, with half the latter on Virginia soil. To speak plainly, it is not quite creditable to Virginia that there has been so little development under that state of the half of the District, which, having once been granted to the nation, she, in a fit of unwisdom, participated in by the congress, endeavored to take back. As she has allowed it to remain anything but a thing of beauty and the nation is now ready to take it and make it a joy forever, Virginia should and will delight in the transformation." LIBERTIES IN THE RECORD How Members of Congress "Extend Their Remarks" in the Congressional Record. "Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to extend my remarks in the record." "The gentleman asks unanimous consent to extend his remarks in the record," says the speaker. "Is there objection? The chair hears none." Indeed, the chair hears none, for the reason that all the gentlemen want that privilege at some time or other. Then the statesman writes a nice little piece that nobody has ever heard him speak, and in due time it is printed in the record. When the record gets back home it reads somewhat like this: "The weather will be fine if it does not rain." (Applause.) "I repeat, if it does not rain the weather will be fine." (Applause.) Mining a Large Industry. In the discussion in the senate of the bill for the establishment of a bureau of mines and mining, Senator Nixon of Nevada made the interesting statement that 60 per cent. of our transportation on all the railroads of the country is the product of mines. Probably this fact is known to the transportation interests, but it made a profound impression in the senate, as few senators realized the importance of the products of mines in their relations to transportation. Census Officials, After Studying Their Records, Discredit Some Stories of Longevity. Methuselah's oath as to his age would not be accepted by present officials of the United States census bureau in Washington. After investigating some recently reported cases of longevity, Dr. Cressy L. Wilbur, chief statistician of the division of vital statistics, reports that "it is undoubtedly true that the age of 100 years is occasionally attained, but it is perhaps doubtful whether the age of 110 has ever been reached or exceeded." It is not at all surprising, the report points out, that many unfounded claims to extreme age arise, "in old age, with impaired memory, with possible unintentional confusion of what has been heard and what has been actually experienced by the individual and with the well-known tendency of many aged persons to exaggerate, in the utmost good faith, the number of years they have lived, these claims are not surprising." After careful investigation in regard to the age of Noah Raby, known as "the oldest man in the country," and said at the time of his death a few years ago to have lived 131 years and 11 months, the census bureau officials came to the conclusion that Raby was probably 92 years and 11 months old when he died, or 39 years less than was claimed. Raby's record was looked up in as great detail as was possible, a report in the New York Medical Record of March 5, 1904, that "he entered the United States navy about as soon as the United States had a navy, and after serving for a number of years was honorably discharged in 1809," being shaken by a report from the navy department which says that "A Noah Raby was on the Constitution in 1839, so it is possible that the report of his discharge from the navy in 1809 is pure legend." WRONG NAME ON A STATUE Justice Harlan Informs Senator Cummins of Mistake Made by Iowa People. Statuary hall, in the capitol at Washington, is getting all cluttered up with statesmen in marble and bronze. They'll be standing two deep, peering over each other's shoulders or obscured, by the time all the states are given space. Senator Dick has a notion it would be a good idea to return the statues to the various states which sent them and let them be placed in the state houses. He objects, too, to some of the choices that have been made. He thinks that it would have been wiser and more to the point if only pioneers had been chosen for the honor. Lately a statue of Senator James Harlan of Iowa was placed in the hall. The other day Justice Harlan of the Supreme court met Senator Cummins of the state which the man now in bronze had come from. "Senator," said the justice, "you people have the wrong name on that statue. It's labeled James S. Harlan. Senator Harlan was plain "James." The justice had made the discovery because the name "James S. Harlan" is that of his own son, a member of the interstate commerce commission. Fond of Old Soldiers. Senator Warner of Missouri, who is a member of the board which manages the soldiers' homes in different parts of the country, very much regretted that he could not accompany the board on its visit to the different homes throughout the country. He felt that he should remain in Washington on account of the railroad bill, which was under consideration, as he wanted to vote on the different provisions as they were presented. "I have a great fondness for the old soldier boys," said Senator Warner, "and I would have been glad to go out among them. They are going so fast that they won't be with us very long. They are receiving good care at the different homes throughout the country." Uses for Cottonseed Flour. Congressman Jack Beall of Texas boomed one of the great products of his state a few days ago by introducing in the press gallery in Washington a large quantity of good food made from cottonseed. There was cottonseed bread, cottonseed gingerbread, cottonseed fruit cake and cottonseed cookies, the latter one of the delights of childhood. Beall believes, with those who are promoting the scheme, that cottonseed flour will result in largely increasing the profits of cotton growing in the south. Bulging Congressional Record. Burging Song That the dear people are to hear from their representatives in both senate and house very soon is evidenced by the bulging Congressional Record of these days. Speeches galore fill the pages of that popular publication—popular with congress—thousands of words every day are thrown into the hopper and come out labeled, "Speech of the Hon. So-and-So," with date when delivered and the subject discussed. Roosevelt In Moving Pictures. One of the moving-picture shows in Washington had as its attraction recently former President Roosevelt and Kermit on their hunting trip in Africa. One picture shown was that of the hunting party crossing a stream and Mr. Roosevelt being borne across on the shoulders of several native guides. Some of the pictures were very funny and all of them very good. Outside cleanliness is less than half the battle. A man may scrub himself a dozen times a day, and still be unclean.
