Pressing need its Finances apparent a Cancellation of loans Liberia, the Negro state of Africa, whose woes have been before the world prominently for the last year, and whose finances are to be bolstered up through a $1,000,000 loan from American, British French and German bankers, through the good offices of Secretary of State Knox, has been on the verge of bankruptcy for several years. Its expenditures have exceeded its revenues, and reform within the state, so as to put it on a sound financial basis, has seemed impossible of attainment. President Taft, soon after his inauguration, sent a commission of investigation to the country, on the petition of the Liberians for a treaty, under which the United States, through a protectorate, might act the part of the big brother to the struggling republic. Neither the President nor Secretary Knox, according to advice from Washington, is in favor of an open and declared protectorate. But they hold that by the very terms of Liberia's existence the United States has a moral obligation toward the country, and cannot afford to see the struggling Negro republic gobbled up by Great Britain, France or some other European power. That Liberia is in pressing need of a reorganization of its finances, says the Chicago Record-Herald, is apparent when it is considered that the British government has been pressing for some readjustment of the situation regarding the loan, now amounting to about $445,000, including interest, which was incurred first in 1871 from British financiers, and has since been readjusted. There is a further customs loan of $480,000, and an internal debt amounting to about $300,000. For a population of about 2,000,000 these would not seem to make a formidable grand total of indebtedness, but Liberia is not a progressive country. According to reports of recent years, it has great natural resources, if only they can be developed properly. How to bring about the development is a problem that is more perplexing to the statesmen who have to do with Liberia's affairs than how to care for the existing indebtedness. Liberia owes its existence to the National Colonization Society of America, which was organized in 1816 for the purpose of setting in Africa the free Negroes of the United States. The idea was an attractive one—that the Negroes, who had been victims of injustice through having been brought from Africa to the United States, should be given a chance to develop, free from the white man's greed or oppression, in their originally native land. After an unsuccessful attempt to establish the colony south of Sierra Leone, in 1820, a tract of land was acquired about Cape Mesurado, and in April, 1822, an experiment at small farming was begun, each man being allotted a 30-acre tract and given means of cultivation. Rebuffs and disheartenments for several years only spurred on those workers for the success of the colony who had faith in their original purpose. But the American Negro, it developed, had no great longing to return to his fatherland; he preferred to work out his destiny in the country to which he had been brought by force and which he had learned practically all he and his kind ever knew of civilization. The colony grew slowly. In 1847 Liberia was declared an independent republic and was left to its own resources. The powers of the world recognized it as a state and the settlers proceeded to try the experiment of a self-governing body with a constitution modled on that of the United States. In order that the white man might not obtain political influence in Liberia the constitution provides that all electors must be of Negro blood. They also must of Negro blod. They also must be owners of land. The official language of the state is English. The president, elected for four years, has a cabinet composed of the secretary of state, the secretary of the treasury, the secretary of the interior, the attorney general, the postmaster general and the secretary for war and navy. That the war and navy portfolios can be combined safely is shown by the fact that the organized militia volunteers and police number only 700, while the DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JULY 16 1910. navy consists of a coast gunboat. Liberia, of course, is a tropical country, being situated within 10 degrees of the equator. It is said white men cannot become acclimated there, but for those of Negro blood the climate is healthful, many of the natives living to old age and few of them suffering from disease. A number of coasting vessels are owned by Liberians, in which trade is carried on with the United States and Great Britain. Exports of the country for 1908, the latest year for which statistics are available, were $890,000, and imports for the same year were $1,169,000. Palm oil, palm kernels, coffee, rubber, coca and piassava fibre are the chief exports. The capital and principal town, Monrovia, is visited regularly by seven lines of European steamers. There are no railways in the country, but the River St. Paul is navigable for 25 miles from the sea by small boats. Under the Franco-Liberian agreements of 192 and 1907 Liberia lost about 2,000 square miles of territory, which she could not effectively administer, making her present area about 40,000 square miles—nearly the size of Ohio or Kentucky. Only about 60,000 of the 2,000,000 population are American Negroes or their descendants, the remainder consisting of indigenous Negroes. The republic, it is said is not held in favor by the natives. The Negroes from America, observers say, have failed to make any considerable impression on the aboriginal inhabitants, whom they are expected to civilize, and the testimony of travelers is that the Liberians in general are lazy and quarrelsome. A recent writer on Liberia, Edgar Allen Forbes, defends the Liberians. He asserts that "the people of Monrovia look, dress and act very like the betterclass Negroes of Atlanta or Louisville. All the Americo-Liberians (and many civilized natives) are neatly but not flashily clothed, and most of the aborigines put on an extra cloth when they come to town I doubt if there be anywhere in the United States a Negro community of the size of Monrovia where there is so little boisterousness, profanity or indecency." The writer charges that the unfavorable criticism of the country by Englishmen is not warranted by facts and that civilization is making headway in Liberia. Under Negro teachers trained in the United States the Lutheran, Methodist and Episcopal churches have made and continue to make strong efforts to educate the younger generation. The expenditure for missions and schools maintained by Americans totals $80,000 to $100,000 a year. That an American protectorate will result from the present situation is prophesied in Europe, where the eyes of statesmen are fixed greedily upon the black republic.—Charleston, W. Va., Advocate. NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE The Eleventh Annual Meeting the tenth anniversary-of the National Negro Business League will be held in New York City, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 17, 18 and 19, 1910. The Palm Garden, 150 E. 58th street, near Lexington avenue, a centrally located and commodious building, has been secured for the meetings. Addresses of welcome will be made, among others, by His Honor, Mayor William J. Gaynor, and Hon. Charles W. Anderson, Collector of Internal Revenue for the Second District of New York City. In addition to those who will speak representing Negro business enterprises throughout the country, are Hon. George McAneny, Borough President of Manhattan, Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard, Editor, New York Evening Post, and Mr. Jacob W. Mack, a responsible manufacturer of New York City. Ample accommodations are being arranged by the Local Negro Business League of New York for delegates intending to be present. Those planning to be present are urgently requested to send notice of such intention to Mr. B. F. Thomas, 213 West 53rd street, New York City, or to Mr. Fred R. Moore, Chairman of the Committee of Arrangements, 247 W. 46th street, New York City. The Hotel Maceo has been selected by the Local League of New York City as convention headquarters. On the social side, every possible arrangement for the comfort and pleasure of the delegates will be provided, including a reception to visiting ladies on Thursday afternoon, August 18, by the Negro Woman's Business League of Greater New York. On Friday evening, August 18, at 7 o'clock, a banquet and reception will be tendered the delegates at Grand Central Palace, Lexington avenue and 43rd street, which has been specially secured for the occasion, by the Local Negro Business League of New York City. For Saturday, August 20, at 1 o'clock, a large steamer has been chartered for the purpose of giving the delegates a boat ride up the East and Hudson Rivers. Many private entertainments of one kind and another are also already being arranged for the afternoons of the three day's sessions. Mr. Cyrus Field Adams, Transportation Agent, 934 F street N.W., Washington, D.C., will co-operate in any way possible with city or state delegations in making transportation arrangements. Mr. Adams has already secured a rate of a fare and three-fifths for the round trip on the certificate plan, from the Trunk Line Association, which includes all of the territory west of New England and north of the Potomac to the Mississippi River, and from the Southeastern Passenger Association, which includes all of the territory south of the Ohio and Potomac, and east of the Mississippi Rivers. These two Associations include the most important parts of the country from which the larger part of the delegates come. Especial attention is directed, however, to the low rates which are granted each year for the month of August for tourists going north. Delegates are especially urged to inform themselves of the offerings in their territory. Further information, if desired, may be secured from: Booker T. Washington, President. Tuskegee Institute, Ala. J. C. Napier, Chairman, Executive Committee, Napier Court, Nashville, Tenn. Emmett J. Scott, Corresponding Secretary, Tuskegee Institute, Ala. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES New Orleans has only one high school for a population of $100,000 colored people, says the Houston Texas Freeman. Now a bill has been introduced in the legislature providing for the sale of this, the money received therefrom to pay for a farm in the country where all colored youths will be taught farming instead of literary training. Perish the thought that would for a minute rob our people of their legal rights! Yonkers, N. Y., July 5.—Miss Julia Johnson, 24 Culvert street, formerly of Bridgeport, Conn., was awarded a silver medal on June 22 for proficiency in the Isaac Pitman shorthand. Miss Johnson was the only colored member of the senior class in the Yonkers High School, and was awarded the medal by the State Regents for making the highest mark. The medal is of handsome design. Miss Johnson was a favorite with her teachers and classmates. Washington, D. C., July 5.—Dr. George Sheppard Moore, who graduated from the medical department of the Northwestern University at Chicago, after a competitive examination, has been appointed interne at the Freedman's hospital in this city. Dr. Moore is a B. A. graduate of Fisk University, and is the son of Rev. George W. Moore, one of the field agents of the American Missionary Association. It is predicted that Dr. George Sheppard Moore has an interesting and successful career before him. Cambridge, Mass., July 11.—Earl M. V. Long, substitute center on the Harvard 'varsity eleven last fall, and one of the best developed men the college has had for years, has the pugilistic fever. He wants to meet Jack Johnson in a squared circle and thinks he can wrest the title from the world's champion. Long is nearly as big as Johnson and has always been in perfect shape, due in part he claims, to his scientific selection of food, which costs him not more than a dollar a week. Long said yesterday: "I can box a little. I should like to meet Johnson, pugilistically speaking; even more, I should take pleasure in defeating him." Los. Angeles, Calif., July 11.—In a sermon at St. Paul's Episco- NO.44 pal procathedral, on the much discussed moving pictures of the Jeffries Johnson fight, the Rev. Dean William MacCormick last night declared that he would prefer to have the young people view them than many others that are constantly being thrown on the soreens of the cheap class of theaters. Dean MacCormick said: "Personally, if I had to make a choice I would rather see the scenes of the prize fight exhibited than many of the scenes that are permitted. "The problem is not, Should the pictures of the prize fight be exhibited, but rather, Is the moving picture show as it is permitted to operate at the present time a menace to public morals?" Guthrie, Okla., July 9.—On application of Daniel Sims, a former slave, now a property owner of this city, Federal Judge John H. Cottraler today issued a temporary injunction restraining the state election board, the state board of affairs and the secretary of state from having printed the proposed "grandfather clause," amendment to the constitution, on the ballot for the state primary election on August 2. In his petition Sims sets up that the proposed amendment would disfranchise him, as he is unable to read or write, and that it discriminates against him because of previous condition of servitude. It is also alleged that a proposed amendment to the constitution must be voted on at a regular election and not at a primary to be legal. Durham, N. C., July 5.—United States Judge Pritchard, of Asheville, N. C., made the opening address of the summer course of the National Religious Training School and Chatauqua for colored people here today. He advocated the early agricultural training in the belief that it would prove of infinite value to the morals of our people and that their return to the farm as a solution largely of the question of the high cost of living. "The colored man is a citizen of the country," he continued, "and I am thankful to say that there never has been a time since the emancipation when a majority of the white people of the South was not friendly to them so far as a citizen was concerned.

Johnstown.—A contract has been let for three new business blocks here in place of those burned. They will include a general store, a postoffice and a meat market. Students Killed by Lightning. Cripple Creek.—The bodies of Robert, Chambers and Jesse Treakee, guests who registered at the Imperial hotel here July 7, were found Monday by a searching party near the summit of Mt. Pisgah. Lightning was the cause of their deaths. Clonmel to Be Sold. Denver.—Mrs. Thomas F. Walsh, widow of the late Thomas F. Walsh, has reconsidered her recent refusal to accept the $150,000 offer made by Denver people for Clonelm, the beautiful summer home of the Walshs a few miles south of Denver, and it is probable that the property will be sold within the next few days. Gun: Small Boy; Mother in Hospital. Gun; Small Boy, Mother in Hospital Delagua--Mrs. Fred Lutzke is in a dangerous condition at the hospital as a result of being accidentally shot by her 12-year-old son. The woman was seated at a window while the boy was practicing marksmanship with a small rifle upon a hill near by. Forgetting that the gun was aimed toward the house, he fired a bullet which struck his mother in the breast. Millionaire Walks off Train. Rameyville.—The dead body of Dr. R. K. Wiley, a millionaire physician and capitalist of Mineral Wells, Tex., was picked up early Monday morning beside the Colorado & Southern tracks near here, and taken to Trinidad. It is supposed that he arose from his berth during the night and going to the rear platform of the rear car, fell off probably as the car lurched to one side. To Add the Admen's Convention. Denver.—Denver will receive quantities of publicity July 18th, 19th and 20th, at Omaha, and it will be contributed by professional advertising men. On those dates the Associated Ad Clubs of America will hold a convention in the Nebraska metropolis, and the Denver Adscript Club will have a delegation there. Primarily the object of the invasion by the Denverites is to secure the 1911 convention of admen for this city. North Longmont Saloons Closed. Longmont.—The saloons in North Longmont are closed at last, after several years of hard work by the antisaloon people of this city. It was the local option law which accomplished the desired result, as last fall over two-thirds of the voters in Precinct 24 voted to make it dry. The saloons died hard and it took a decision of the Supreme Court to shut them up. Real estate in North Longmont has already taken a jump, although the saloons have been closed only three or four days. New Equipment for the Laramie. Denver.—The Denver, Laramie & Northwestern Railroad has just purchased $200,000 worth of new equipment, to be used on the line between here and Greeley. The new equipment consists of two consolidated engines, weighing sixty-five tons each; fifty steel underframe boxcars wit a capacity of 80,000 pounds each; thirty steel underframe stock cars of the latest type; forty National dump cars of 100,000 pounds capacity each; twenty Hart convertible dump cars of the same capacity, and five modern refrigerating cars for local use. Inoculated Grasshoppers Turned Loose. Fort Collins.-After nearly eight years, inoculated grasshoppers turned out by Prof. C. Gillette, entomologist of the Agricultural College, are doing deadly work and it is believed that in a short time the destructive grasshoppers infesting the entire state will be wiped out. The first signs of the destruction were found by L. W. Bennett on his ranch ten miles east of here, where millions of dead grasshoppers are strewn over the field. Prof. Gillette and those who have followed his experiment had almost given up hope of success of his attempt to rid the state of the grasshopter plague, but are now full of jubilation. The grasshoppers were inoculated with a germ in the nature of cholera and were strewn about the state with a view to having them infect other grasshoppers. To Grow Up With the Country. Greeley.—Although nearly 75 years old, Ross Magnus rode horseback all the way from West Virginia for the purpose of buying a farm in Colorado. it was his first trip from home and he says it was great and worth all the trouble. "What I like best," said the traveler, "was watching the way folks lived. Everybody was kind to me and my horse. All my kin are dead. I sold my little farm a few months ago and I concluded I would have to start out to see the world before I got old." RETURNING TO UNCLE SAM CANADIAN EMIGRANTS ARE ANX- IOUS TO GET BACK TO A MILDER CLIMATE. 15,000 ON THE WAY THE LAND, THE CROPS AND THE FORM OF GOVERNMENT ARE OBJECTIONABLE. Washington.—The tide of emigration of homeseekers to Canada, which has been the subject of great concern to the administrators of the public domain for the last few years, has turned, in the opinion of officials of the Reclamation Service. Thousands have returned and a great many more are expected back soon. Clarence J. Blanchard, statistician of the reclamation service, who is in the field inspecting irrigation projects, reports that he has interviewed many settlers in Montana who had tried the Canadian experiment, but were glad to return home. They said that practically every American farmer in the neighborhood of Alberta, where the Canadian government maintains an irrigation project, was anxious to get back if he could sell his holdings in the Dominion. The American settlers were dissatisfied with the character of the land, the crops, which they alleged consisted principally of alfalfa and such hardy grains as winter wheat, and even these were not sure. The form of government did not appeal to them and they considered railroad rates exorbitant. The climate was a source of dissatisfaction, ice and snow in August and September of last year adding to their discontent. During the last nine months, it was said at the reclamation office, fifteen thousand settlers have returned to the states from Canada and the prospects for a general backward movement are bright. Doukhobors Offend the Proprieties. Winnipeg, Manitoba.—The mounted police at Kamsack, Sask., received hurry orders Wednesday to go to Veregin, seven miles out, where the Douk-hobors were on a rampage. They found a party of thirty-five, almost nude, who had burned their clothing and chattels and were chanting hymns. Diamond Monoply Continues. Diamond Monoply Continues. New York—All hope of a break in the monopoly which controls the diamond output of the world is dissipated. The contract between the De Beers Consolidated Mines (Ltd.) and the London diamond syndicate has been renewed for a period of five years. Montana Land Seekers. Washington—The interest of land seekers has been recently aroused in the Sun River irrigation project in Montana and the remaining farms on the Fort Shaw unit are being rapidly occupied. Interested in Monetary Reforms. Beverly, Mass—President Taft is giving considerable thought, to the forthcoming report by the Monetary Commission, which, it is expected, will recommend to Congress sweeping monetary reforms. Fraternal Grafters on the Pan. Rock Island—Indictments against thirteen persons were returned Wednesday by a Rock Island county grand jury which since May 3rd has been probing alleged fraternal insurance frauds. New York Will See Fight Pictures. New York.-Moving pictures of the Jeffries-Johnson fight may be exhibited in this city without violation of the law, in the opinion of the corporation counsel.

Married Felicity Showing Sympathy Is True Secret By HELEN OLDFIELD The trite saying that "trifles make up the sum of human life" is especially true of women. Men make one of their greatest mistakes in neglecting the little things, the loving word, the small attentions which are to a woman's heart what dew is to the flower. When a woman loves a man she is like the hero in Marmontel's fairy tale and looks at him through rose-colored glasses. No imagination of poet has such idealizing power as the affection of a devoted wife; her love, like the Midas touch, turns all to gold. Ordinary virtue swells into moral heroism; dull respectability is exalted into sublime conscientiousness; common, every-day cleverness is accounted as transcendent genius. As somebody has said, wives have a way of believing that the only limit to their husbands' ability is their own desire, that they have in them a potentiality of intellect, and could become eminent authors, statesmen, or anything else that they liked. It must be confessed, however, that not a few admit their husbands' inability to make money, but usually this inability is for good and sufficient reason, which is ample excuse, if excuse be needed. Even when the judgment is clearer the fond affection remains and is ever ready to find an excuse for a weakness, justification for a fault. A loving wife allows nobody to blame her husband. There is small reason to doubt that most wives who are eating out their hearts with the fear that Jack or Edwin does not love them as he used to do are borrowing needless trouble. Foolish of them? Oh, yes, but then it is just as bad to be scared to death as to be killed outright. Business is the American woman's chief, usually her only, rival, and the husband who has no time to pet his wife generally is working hard to make money for her and the babies. "Business comes first," as we all The girl who will spend the summer on a farm or in the country where she is at liberty to draw upon the garden can make a nice little income before fall. As autumn is now the accepted time for garden planting, people are in need of seeds, cuttings and newly started plants. These can be bought, it is true, at professional florists', but amateurs often like to propagate. If a girl makes it her business to collect seed, she will have no difficulty in selling it, provided she goes to work systematically. Let her make a study of what seed is self-propagating, what degenerates quickly, what is long in germinating, and what does not come true to type. Such information can be written on the seed envelopes, which may be ordinary sizes used for calling cards. It is also well to add the height, color and time of blooming of seed and name of plant. Simple cultural directions are better yet. In collecting seed take only from best specimens and put at once into proper envelope as mixing is easy and does not tend to confidence. If there is a corner of the garden to make a seed bed, seedlings of perennials can be started ready for September planting. Cuttings of roses, geraniums and other plants can be struck for home grown plants in winter. In connection with this industry flowers can be cut from garden, made into loose bunches, ready to sell to passing automobilists, or sent to the nearest hotel. It may be possible to make a deal with a city florist and seedsman by which the blooms and seedlings as well as seeds are disposed of in a lot. He works like a horse that his wife may have three servants to do her work and her time for leisure. She in return entertains, rides, drives, reads and studies, and in short gets so much "culture" that she can soon look down on her husband and use words he never heard of. He gives up an enjoyable fishing trip to the "lake in the woods" to escort his better half to Paris. She drags him around to the shops for women during the day and tells him what to wear evenings and how to hold his knife and fork. pensive luxury. She demands the most. He gives her the most. To make her happy he does not stop short of the most extravagant of resorts, schools, journeys, music teachers, dressmakers and whatever female foolishness and capriciousness can conceive of. He lets her travel in Europe, where she falls in love with a nobleman, who after obtaining an income for life insured by an iron-bound contract, marries her. Daughter settles abroad. If father wants to see her let him go to Wiesbaden or Aix-le-Bains, or some other good resort, where he can get a room at the same hotel. He has a son. Sons are an incumbrance in U. S. A. They do not marry titled wives and thereby elevate mamma's social position. Son gets no income for life. Let him work or let him be satisfied with $150 a month. "Make a man of culture of him and let him devote his time to the city? I guess not. My son has to work. My daughter leads a life of luxury in Europe. That is enough for one family."

Philanthropy necessarily has played and must continue to play a large and important part in the work being done for the elevation of the Negro race in America, and the realization of this fact has inspired many a generous gift from sympathizing men and women of means of the white race, and has led to many acts of personal devotion and sacrifice, the true value of which may never be fully understood or appreciated, and which, in many instances, perhaps seem to have been vain of recognition and void of all reward. There is a well-founded traditional belief that an Indian, or many another savage, never forgot a great kindness or service done him or his people, and always repaid it, if possible, when the opportunity arose. The tradition may have arisen out of particular and peculiar experiences of a personal character, but it is at least worthy of reflection that the same reputation does not attach to the Negro in the same romantic manner nor to the same gratifying degree. There are doubtless many exceptions to this general conclusion, but as a general indictment it seems to possess much which, unfortunately, is true. Yet the deep degradation and stunted capacity of a large portion of the newly emancipated Negro, to understand or appreciate his own condition or to realize or accept any condition of self-reliance or self-responsibility, was the natural cause of his lack of a particular sense of gratitude for benefits rendered him, and doubtless the feeling still exists and is widespread among colored people-that all their benefits, public and private, cannot repay what is their due for their centuries of subjection and degradation. But whatever the past, we should value and appreciate the atoning benefits of the present more than we seem to do. We have been reading the syndicate review of the zealous and unselfish labors of Mrs. Almira S. Steele; the white woman who, twenty years ago, out of her own private resources, founded the Steele Orphanage for Colored Children at Chattanooga, Tenn., and who has maintained it and conducted it ever since, almost unaided. She has sacriified her own fortune and unfalteringly devoted her life to the work of caring for and educating Negro orphan children, a work of ever increasing demands, and yet is said to receive but little material aid from white people and comparatively none from colored people. There are doubtless many similar cases and the vast need of it all is painful to realize. With Negroes it is largely and necessarily a local matter. With all that we waste, we should find some way to show our appreciation to our benefactors for the unnumbered benefactions which we enjoy. A MORAL UPLIFT. Jack Johnson gave the world a great moral uplift when he knocked out Jim Jeffries at Reno on the Fourth of July. It was well known before then that a good strong uppercut, delivered by a scientific heavyweight pugilist, was calculated to result in the momentary physical uplift of that immediate portion of humanity receiving it, but never before has it been known to carry with it a relative moral force whose beneficent influence embraced sympathetic christendom and shocked moral humanity throughout the entire world. It must have been an awful jolt that so nearly put Jeffries to sleep at Reno, and at the same time awoke the moral resentment sleeping in the breasts of the guardians of the world. This startling exhibition of unexpected physical potentiality was in fact a moral earthquake, the seismic shock of which, instead of deserving careful scientific investigation, needs to be erased from our moral memory as soon as possible. The mere thought of the pictured repetition of the horrifying exhibition, suggesting the all too natural and realistic results, arouses the hysterical antipathy of all who would save the youth and the women and all the innocent, delicately aesthetic and otherwise morally unprotected of society, who would surely want to see these pictures from inevitable demoralization and shame. Many cities and some states have taken immediate steps to suppress the moving picture reproductions of the Reno contest expected to be exhibited. Even Florida and Cuba and far-off South Africa have already joined the movement and signified their intentions to that effect. Truly enough, some of these remote places admit that they want to avoid the possible cause of race conflicts and otherwise riotous acts that might result. But none of them confess openly that they want to throttle the intolerable ego of the black man, which might find irrepressible inspiration in the result of that battle so disappointing to Caucasia. Just think what the effect would be in South Africa and in Cuba and in Mound Bayou, Mississippi, where the control of the blacks under normal conditions of overwhelming advantage is a sleepless problem. Who can wonder at the spontaniety of their moral revulsion under these conditions? Yet such reassurance as is possible upon the side of the black man's moral and mental equilibrium ought to be afforded. While he is naturally elated and overjoyed over the result of the contest at Reno, because newspapers, bettors and sportsmen everywhere declared that the Negro was not possessed of the physical strength or moral courage necessary to stand up successfully against the white man's fierceer and more highly developed attainments, he knows that the fight was a contest between individuals of exceptional and phenomenal physical and scientific development, and that victory deservedly belonged to the stronger and younger and more scientifically developed man, regardless of his race or other incidental characteristics. It would have been the same had the contest been between Turk and Jap or Indian and Caucasian. Race characteristics or limitations had nothing to do with the result of the contest. The glory and the shame of that result rest alone, in fact, with the participants and their trainers. It is the vindication of this unassailable truth which rightfully elates the Negro and wrongfully depresses the white man, who in his irrational depression and vindictive expression of moral revulsion, exhibits the greater weakness. The result, in itself, is a great moral lesson which the suppression of the pictures would prove to be ignored and unlearned. MAN who wins a woman's heart and marries her will have any difficulty in keeping her love through weal or woe if only he loves her and does not forget to tell her so, not once for all, but over and over again. Life largely consists of compensations, and not the least of these is that while a man may choose and a woman must wait to be chosen, women love to be loved, and tenderness and sympathy rarely fail to win their love and to retain it when once won. T 3 know, is a first-class commercial maxim, but the wisdom of it scarcely is comforting to the wife who feels herself snubbed and neglected, who so far as her real self is concerned is as lonely and companionless as though she were cast on a desert island. [Illustration of a woman] The lack of sympathy shown by men to their wives is at the root of much marital unhappiness. Yet the average hard-working man does not, perhaps cannot comprehend this. Alas that so few of us understand that the life is more than the meat, the body more than the raiment! The girl who will spend the summer on a farm or in the country where she is at liberty to draw upon the garden can make a nice little income before fall. As autumn is now the accepted time for garden planting, people are in need of seeds, cuttings and newly started plants.

PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL CHURCH REDEEMER. 22nd Ave. and Humboldt St., Rev. Thos G. Brown, Pastor. Sunday, July 17th—Litany and Holy Communion, 7 a. m. Sunday School, 9:30 a. m. Morning Prayer and Sermon, 11 a. m. Vespers, 5 p. m. The attendance at both services on Sunday, last was very fair. At morning service the Sacrament of Baptism was administered to Vera Marie and Carl McAphee, children of Mrs. McAphee of 2617 Marion street. The sermon by the pastor on "Baptism," made quite an impression on the congregation, as he fully explained away the differences that exist denominationally in the mere practical form and proved conclusively to his hearers the true Scriptural meaning of the term "baptism." NOTES OF THE PEOPLE'S PRESBY TERIAN CHURCH. Sermon Topic, July 17th. 11:00 a. m.—"How Christ Viewed His Life's Work." 7:30 p. m.—Y. P. S. C. E.

The oneness of utterance by those who heard the morning sermon was that is was practical, inspiring, and elevating to the race. The programme under the auspices of Y. P. S. C. E. last Sunday night was perhaps the best ever rendered since the reorganization of the society. The object of these monthly concerts is to break the monotony of the regular evening preaching services. We propose to give the public good music at all of our services. Our choir being under special tuition in theory and practice are in a position to give some of the best of recent church music publisher, both in this country and England. The pastor, Rev. J. A. Thos-Hazell, S. T. B. has received an unanimous call from one of the large Presbyterian churches of Pennsylvania. The membership is not only larger than the membership of The People's church; but the salary is of a substantial increase. After sober deliberation and prayerful consideration of the matter Rev. Thos-Hazell has declined to accept the call.

Faulkner read a very instructive paper on "Tuberculosis" before the Epworth League last Sunday evening. This subject cannot be discussed too freely among our people as the mortality among our people is greater than the white race. Mrs. Anna McPherson arranged and executed a very interesting program last Sunday evening. It was the Mercy and Help Department of the Epworth League. Some of the numbers were: Paper by Mr. Cornelius Rice, solo and paper by Mrs. G. W. Anderson. The pastor preached on "The Race Issue" Sunday morning and "The Futrature of the Negro," in the evening. Two splendid audiences greeted him both services. Mr. J. D. Rice's class lead in the collection last Wednesday evening. It is rumored that the banner will be conquered by Mrs. Anna Bobo this week.

The Haldane family has always been noted in England for its famous walkers and the present head of the family tells this story of one of his ancestors: This old gentleman, having been prayed for by a clergyman as "thine aged and infirm servant" immediately suggested a little walk with his surprised clerical friend. The latter consented and the "aged and infirm" Mr. Haldane took him for such a tremendously long walk that when the clergyman returned, utterly exhausted, he fell asleep and could only be awakened to conduct a religious service.—London M.

True, a few sales might be made by advertising an absolutely worthless article but it is only the article that is bought again and again that pays. An example of the big success of a worthy article is the enormous sale that has grown up for Cascarets Candy Cathartic. This wonderful record is the result of great merit successfully made known through persistent advertising and the mouth-to-mouth recommendation given Cascarets by its friends and users. Like all great successes, trade pirates prey on the unsuspecting public, by marketing fake tablets similar in appearance to Carcarets. Care should always be exercised in purchasing well advertised goods, especially an article that has a national sale like Cascarets. Do not allow a substitute to be palmed off on you. Unflattering Truth. A Chicago physician gleefully tells a child story at his own expense. The five children of some faithful patients had measles, and during their rather long stay in the improvised home hospital they never failed to greet his daily visit with pleased acclamation. The good doctor felt duly flattered, but rashly pressed the children, in the days of convalescence, for the reason of this sudden affection. At last the youngest and most indiscreet let slip the better truth. "We felt so sick that we wanted awfully to do something naughty, but we were afraid to be bad for fear you and the nurse would give us more horrid medicine. So we were awfully glad to see you, always, 'cause you made us stick out our tongues. We stuck 'em out awful far!" A Protection Against the Heat.

He Had Been Observing. "Why don't you call your invention the 'Bachelor's Button?'" I asked my friend, who was about to put on the market a button that a man could attach without needle or thread. "I fear that the appellation would imply too much restrictiveness," he answered. "You see," he went on, giving me one of his knowing smiles, "I expect to do just as much business with the married men as with the bachelors." An Answer in Kind. "How did the trouble in the family start?" "The wife, it seems, got tired of her husband's heavy wit." "Why didn't she simply make a light retort?" "She did. She threw the lamp at him." Coming Down to Earth. "Happiness," declaimed the philosopher, "is in the pursuit of soniething, not in the catching of it."

POSTUM CEREAL CO., LTD., Battle Creek, Mich. --- CAPITOL'S GALLERIES BUSHELS OF CARDS FOR THEM ARE GIVEN AWAY. John Goodforonevote Can Easily Gain Admission by Applying to His Congressman—Sees but Can't Hear. Strangers in Washing to n can be spotted easily when they visit the Strangers in Washing to me can be spotted casly when they visit the house of representatives. Any man or woman discovered flurrying along the corridors armed with an important expression and a pink card may be safely set down as just arrived from Snohomish, Deadwood, New York or some other outlying district. The important expression comes from the possession of the card, and the card comes from the bearer's member of congress. These cards are printed by tens of thousands every session. Each representative has a bushel or more of them. It isn't unusual for a member to give out 2,500 in one season. It's easier to get a card for the gallery of the house than to get a street car ticket. The tickets are six for a quarter. The cards are six for the asking; but the foxy members know better than to look careless when they are dealing out their bushel of pink cards. When John Goodforonevote blows into his member's committee room the Representative vallantly pumps up the signs of joy, asks after the boys, hopes Mrs. John came too and then, with the air of straining a point to confer a favor, says cheerly: "Well, I suppose you'd like to see how we do business down here at Washington, eh? Now, let me see, I believe I can fix you up. I'll tell you. Just let me make out a permit that will admit you to the special reserved gallery. That'll be the thing, won't it?" Then he dives into his desk, extracts one of the pink cards, fills in the visitor's name, signs his own with a flourish and hands it over with a smile of beaming benevolence. Five minutes later the important expression and the pink card with Mr. Goodforonevote behind them, make their unmistakable debut at the door of the card gallery. As a matter of fact the card gallery of the house of representatives is a delusion. The member who gives you admittance to it in order that you may see congress at work is on the square. If he had said "hear" instead of "see" he'd have been an Ananias at large. You could hear almost as much of a congressional debate if you staved at home in Snohomish There are eight divisions of the house gallery. The division known as the card gallery is the last place to go if you want to hear a debate. The best place to hear is of course devoted to the press gallery. It is directly above the speaker's desk and is open only to the reporters. Next to it on one side is a public gallery and on the other side the ladies' gallery. No cards are required here, and next to the press seats they are the best places from which to see and hear. You must choose between hearing and seeing the members who take part in a debate or seeing the speaker. He can always be heard, but nine-tenths of the talk on the floor is inaudible from the galleries opposite the speaker. The executive, the diplomatic and the members' galleries (for their families), are located at the ends of the house in an attempt to give the occupants a view of both the floor and the speaker. The result is that in the executive and the diplomatic galleries you can hear the Democratic orators, while the members' families at the other end can catch most of the pearls of Republican wisdom. Directly opposite the speaker's desk is the men's gallery. As most of the remarks on the floor are directed away from this quarter it is undoubtedly an excellent place for meditation and occasional slumber. The doorkeepers have a way of rudely intruding upon these forty winks. You are not supposed to eat, sleep, read or write in any of the galleries of congress during the sessions. In the senate they are much more strict than in the house. No one is allowed at that end of the capitol to carry any kind of package into the galleries. The rule was made at the time of the Spanish-American war, when cranks were many and excitable. It is still enforced in the senate but is laxly observed in the house. You are allowed to carry a newspaper or an unwrapped book into the senate gallery and you may sit and read or write, perhaps even sleep, until a few minutes before the vice-president comes in. After that nobody may read anything except the list of senators with the diagram of their seats. Nobody is allowed to write anything, not even notes of the speeches. On special occasions such as the opening of congress or some much advertised debate in the house galleries may be seen people quite openly staving off the pangs of hunger with apples or biscuits or chocolate. No such desecration of the sacred precincts of the senate is permitted. Not only must the plain people discriminate between the two bodies, but the representatives themselves are expected to treat even the environs of the upper chamber with respect. For instance, the corridors at the house end of the capitol are crowded, noisy, full of cigar smoke and litter. It is a different world over in the senate wing. Smoking is not allowed in the public corridors there. Even a representative is not supposed to cross the line between the senate wing and the main section of the capitol carrying a lighted cigar. There are two card galleries in the senate and, unlike those of the house, they are excellent places for hearing and seeing. The executive and the diplomatic galleries of both chambers are seldom occupied. In the last few years of friction between capitol and White House visitors from the latter quarter are likely to have their sensibilities more or less rudely trampled in the course of any debate worth going to hear, so they generally stay away. The deserted rows, few though they are, in the diplomatic gallery seem to indicate a complete absence of foreign interest in our legislative machinery. On ordinary occasions strangers are surprised to notice, both in the senate gallery and in that of the house, an empty row in the most advantageous location. That in the house is in the front row of a section of the members' gallery. Even while you watch it you may see the doorkeeper come down the steps, unlock a low door, such as closes the end of a church pew, usher some one in and close the door impressively. This row in fact is known as the speaker's pew and is reserved for members of his family, or for persons he compliments by admittance within its bounds. The corresponding row in the senate gallery is known as the vice-president's row. MONKEYS ASYLUM INMATES Little Simians After Two Years in Mad House Show No Signs of Insanity. Uncle Sam has 11 African simians as inmates of his big insane asylum in Washington. For five months these little near-men of the jungle have been breathing the same atmosphere as some of the most violent members of the human family—types of men and women who, through ages, have stood out as the peer of all animals, but whose minds have become deranged. Yet, after these five months of residence among deranged minds, these 11 simians are still sane—as sane as a monkey, according to scientists, can be—and show an intelligence far beyond that of many of their fellow inmates. For more than two years now have these monkeys been under observation and experiment. First, Prof. W. T. Shepherd, Ph. D., of the George Washington university, worked with them, along the lines of ideation and imitation. He found that, physiologically, the monkey species were more closely related to man and the greatest minds of the world than any other animals. He found that the monkey has practical ideas; that it will go farther than the parrot in imitation; that it can discriminate sound and color. Practically the same results have been obtained by Dr. S. I. Franz of the medical staff of the Government Hospital for the Insane in Washington. For more than a year these little animals were housed on the top floor of the George Washington university. Since October last they have been inmates of the insane asylum. Garner on a Buttermilk Ticket John Garner for originality every time. "Come in. Come in," he greeted a friend who appeared in his doorway in Washington. "Come in and drink a glass of my fine buttermilk. It's my favorite beverage. And I don't drink any buttermilk that's not tested and stamped with the O. K. of Doctor Wiley. I take that precaution because it's essential that I should live. I don't know what would become of Texas without old John." He waited long enough for his friend to drink the buttermilk and comment on its good qualities. "You bet it's good," he seconded. "It's the best ever. If I ever have any serious opposition in my district I shall just look with scorn on the Democrats and the Republicans and the Prohibitionists and the anti-Prohibitionists, and come riding into congress on a buttermilk ticket in spite of them all." Personality Above Politics. An Oklahoma Republican leader entered the private office of Senator Owen in Washington a few days ago and remarked that a particular friend of his had been nominated for postmaster in one of Oklahoma's thriving cities. "I would like to have him confirmed as soon as possible," added the Republican. Senator Owen reached a telephone and called up the clerk of the committee on post offices and post roads. He named the city where the postmaster had been nominated, and sald: "Put that nomination through right away." The Oklahoma senator does not consider politics in such matters. Dewey's Valet Causes Stir There was consternation in Washington one night recently when it was discovered that Takugana, Admiral Dewey's valet, had disappeared. That picturesque little band-box Jap is so regular in his habits and in his attendance upon Admiral Dewey, whom he worships, and when he didn't show up for 24 hours, the Washington police were asked to look him up. They located him in the course of a few hours out in one of the suburbs visiting friends, and the little fellow was much amazed when he found that his unusual absence had almost created a panic in the Dewey family.

A BURNING ERUPTION FROM HEAD TO FEET "Four years ago I suffered severely with a terrible eczema, being a mass of sores from head to feet and for six weeks confined to my bed. During that time I suffered continual torture from itching and burning. After being given up by my doctor I was advised to try Cuticura Remedies. After the first bath with Cuticura Soap and application of Cuticura Ointment I enjoyed the first good sleep during my entire illness. I also used Cuticura Resolvent and the treatment was continued for about three weeks. At the end of that time I was able to be about the house, entirely cured, and have felt no ill effects since. I would advise any person suffering from any form of skin trouble to try the Cuticura Remedies, as I know what they did for me. Mrs. Edward Nenning, 1112 Salina St., Watertown, N. Y., Apr. 11, 1909." He Rose to It. "Do you know," said a little boy of five to a companion the other day, "my father and I know everything. What I don't know my father knows, and what my father don't know I know." "All right! Let's see, then," replied the older child, skeptically. "Where's Asia?" It was a stiff one, but the youngster never faltered.

Joax—Yes, it's wonderful how that baby takes after its mother. Cautionary Note: Be sure you get this stove—see that the name-plate reads "New Perfection." Controlled Newspapers. The Atchison Globe says that no advertiser has ever tried to control its editorial policy, the remark being occasioned by the charge often made nowadays, that the big advertisers direct the editorial policy of newspapers. The experience of the Globe is the experience of most newspapers. The merchant who does a great deal of advertising is more interested in the circulation department of a newspaper than in the editorial department. If a daily paper goes to the homes of the people, and is read by them, he is satisfied, and it may chase after any theory or fad, for all he cares. He has troubles of his own, and he isn't trying to shoulder those of the editorial brethren. There are newspapers controlled by people outside of the editorial rooms, and a good many of them, more's the pity; but the people exercising that control are not the business men who pay their money for advertising space. The newspapers which are established for political purposes are often controlled by chronic officesceesers, whose first concern is their own interests. There are newspapers controlled by great corporations, and the voice of such newspapers is always raised in protest against any genuine reform. The average western newspaper usually is controlled by its owner, and he is supposed to be in duty bound to make all sorts of sacrifices at all sorts of times; there are people who consider it his duty to insult his advertisers, just to show that he is free and independent. If he shows a decent respect for his patrons, who pay him their money, and make it possible for him to carry on the business, he is "subsidized" or "controlled." The newspaper owner is a business man, like the dry goods man or the grocer.

The Virginian related that three men had inveigled him into matching twenty-five-cent pieces in a room at the Raleigh hotel, and that they had disappeared, one of them taking $458 belonging to him. When Davis reached the city and he registered at a hotel near John Marshall place and Pennsylvania ave- nue, he was seated on the coping at the northwest corner of Pennsylvania avenue and 7th street when a strang- er spoke to him. He did not hesitate to tell the stranger he was from near Richmond, and the latter said he was acquainted with people in Richmond. The Virginian informed the strang- er that he was thinking of going to ‘New York, and that he was a brick- Jayer by trade. “So am I a bricklayer,” the stranger said, “and I'm out of work.” WN att CE re + (oes ee te Lo CEE SINS Rh TAS oY eas erat: Sa Led hse Sh Fy D 2 eT SE Se A ‘TEAM of horses, stung by a couple of bees, plunged madly Into twen- ty hives, upsetting them, releasing an army of 80,000 angry bees, which stung the horses to death, a few days ago, over on the Virginia side of the ee ree The negro driver, who ran at the first alarm, did not eseape unwounded.

A dozen or more irresponsible bees were flying about the grounds at the home of Dr. Reginald Munson, on the Columbia pike, near Arlington, where he has farty hives. The horses, at- tached to a coal wagon, worried by their humming, slapped at the bees with their tails.

There was a dragging forth of hose and other ap- paratus for fighting “the red demon.” ‘A tall man, who seemed to be in su- preme command of the firemen, gave the orders in cool, confident tones. Innumerable hose lines were con- nected with fire plugs in the new building. Nozzles were aimed at the venerable structure across Jackson al- ley. As the streams of water began to play and the spray was rising In clouds, like the mist from Niagara Falls, the printers, bookbinders, wo- man folders and other workers begaa to file out of the buildings. ‘There is an order that the exit of the workmen and workwomen must be through the side doors along the al- ley and G street, Consequently, as the head of the line of workers reach- ed the doors on the alley and wit: nessed the deluge of water crashing againet the walls of the old building and flying back in foaming masses, they tried to force thier way back in- to the new structure.

A drink was suggested. The men had one in a saloon on Pennsylvania ave- nue. Davis said he would go back to Richmond and draw his money from bank in order that he might have funds enough to see him through his trip to New York. Accompanied by Smith, the man who first accosted him, Davis went to Richmond, drew his money and returned the next day. ‘The red-haifed man and a friend met them and the quartet went to the ho- tel where the alleged swindlers had taken @ room. A game of matching quarters was indulged in and Davis lost what silver change he had. It was then necessary for him to get out his roll of bills. It wasrthe first time Lawrence and Hop. kins, as the two “con” men were ‘known, had seen the roll. At the sug. gestion of one of the men, Davis handed his roll to Hopkins to hold.

Low was a little dubious about venturing Inside. He could plainly hear an oc- casional buzzing that was not alto- gether muste to his ears. A black swarm of buzzing bees {m- mediately flew toward the horses and Low. The latter went scampering down the road with his hands up to his face, brushing away a thousand or more of the insects which had gath- ered about him. The frightened horses were almost instantly covered with the insects. ‘They started to turn toward the road, but sank limply in the traces, whin- neying wildly with pain. Tho entire neighborhood was tn. stantly aroused. A crowd collected at a safe distance to watch the un- usual event. No one dared at first to go to the rescue of the horses. And then there followed a contro- versy. It was heated, to use a well: worn but perfectly good phrase, and In the end the policeman hopped into the buggy and took the broad-hatted gentleman around to police station No, 1, where it became evident that the prisoner was a southerner and was being charged with profanity— and lots of it, varied, variegated, lurid, personal and original. ‘The southern gentleman kept {t go ing to some extent even while he was being examined at No. 1, but he did quit in time to let them know that he was not the owner of the horse. About this time a hatless, breath- less real estate agent rushed out of the District bullding. “Somebody's run off with my horse and buggy! Where did they go?” he shouted. Meantime No. 1 had managed tc cool the southern gentleman to a state where he would disgorge $5 as col- lateral, the price of his profanity. And all this time no one had found out that the southern gentleman was uot the owuer of the horse at all. i FOR WINTER SUPPER TABLE Preserved Cherries One of the Best and Most Delicious of Put- Up Lunches. ‘There is an ancient superstition that cherries and milk are a combination that will insure speedy death.

It fs a pretty fancy to use cards with outdoor scenes or “landscape” backs, I believe they are called, different styles at each table. ‘At one outdoor party the prizes were all rustic -baskets filled with flowers and fruit; at another the host- ess gave each guest a Japanese flow- er holder in metal, and the prizes were green pottery bowls; just the thing for the holders. It 1s now quite the thing to carry out one scheme in dec- oration, and prizes; a definite color scheme, or prizes and favors to corre- spond. At one porch party of four ta- bles, the hostess gave each guest a dainty apron and the four prizes were elaborate hand-made aprons. Hanging baskets and wall receptacles add much to the beauty of the porch, when filled with seasonable flowers. A Cup-and-Saucer Shower.
