THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY ANNUAL ADDRESS Delivered by Booker T. Washington, President of the National Negro Business League, at the Eleventh Annual Session, Palm Garden New York City, Aug 17. VOL. XVI. ANNUAL Delivered by Booker T. Washington Negro Business League annual Session, Palm Garden New York, August 18, 1910.—The Eleventh Annual Meeting of the National Negro Business League met yesterday in Palm Garden, this city. Addresses of welcome were made by Hon. George A. McAneny, president of the Borough of Manhattan, and by Hon. Charles W. Anderson, collector of internal revenue for the Second district of New York. A very full program for the three days' session was arranged. Booker T. Washington, president of the organization, last night delivered his annual address. He spoke as follows: Before uttering a single sentence regarding any other subject, I wish to express the deep obligation which the National Negro Business League is under to the Negro press of the United States for the generous and unfailing interest which it has taken in this and in previous meetings of this organizations. Were it not for the generous space given to the affairs of this organization in the form of editorials and news items without question and without cost, it would have been impossible for it to have attained to its present degree of success. Let no one doubt or question in the future the value and influence of the Negro newspaper. Though it may be a seemingly small and insignificant sheet with a limited circulation reaching the people only in one community, nevertheless this Negro paper has its influence. More and more in the future than has been true in the past, I plead with all the earnestness that I can command for the generous and constant support of the Negro press. This support should come not only from the especial degree it should come from the man of education, from the man who is engaged in some business enterprise. Such support, in an increasing degree, I believe the Negro press will have. There are few agencies which, together with the church and the school, have exerted a great influence in the uplift of our race than is true of the Negro newspaper, and often this influence is exerted at the price of poverty, hard work and self-denial on the part of the publishers. As each delegate and visitor to this League returns to his home, I hope he will carry with him a resolve that in the future he will see to it that his local Negro newspaper has his hearty support and co-operation. It is a serious matter to bring from all parts of our country as many men and women as are present at this meeting of the League. Each one has come here at considerable cost in time and money. These meetings will fail of their purpose unless each individual comes not only with the idea of getting out of each meeting that which will improve him as an individual, but even more important that which he can take back and use for the betterment of his own community. Each one should come with the idea of getting information, methods and inspiration that will enable him to return to his home and teach the people how to start additional industrial and business enterprises and improve those which are already in existence. Upon each delegate here gathered, I repeat, there rests a serious responsibility. But to the text I have chosen: "To him that hath shall be given." These lines spoken by the Master strike the keynote for individual success, and equally so for racial success. The chief object of the National Business League is to teach the Negro the value of the opportunities that he possesses as well as the value of the opportunities that are before him. Let us convince the world that we have opportunities and are conscious of them, and more opportunities will come to us—more openings for our growth will appear. "To him that hath shall be given," is the law of life. On the other hand, if the world becomes convinced that we have no opportunities, that there is no future before us, despair and death will follow and the opportunities that we have will disappear. The world is interested in the man who is succeeding. The world is interested in a race that is succeeding. I repeat that one of the objects of the National Negro Business League is to emphasize among ourselves and before the world that which we possess in the way of actual ownership and in opportunity. "To him that hath shall be given." The world today seeks the Japanese, it seeks the Canadian, it seeks the Jew in New York, it seeks the white man in Oregon, in Alaska and in the Southern states to pour into their laps riches, more opportunities, because they possess something and because they emphasize their possessions. On the other hand, let any group of people, or race, make a business of advertising their want of opportunity and their poverty of possession, and the world passes them by or flees from them. I do not overlook the wrongs and injustices inflicted upon the Negro, nor do I excuse them or lightly pass over them, but we as a race will find that we will get what we are entitled to as American citizens more by emphasizing and seizing our opportunities than by advertising our difficulties and troubles overmuch, for from him that hath shall be taken away even that which he seems to have. Practically all the fundamental conditions for industrial and business success are before the Negro in America, and here I speak of prevailing conditions, not of the exceptions. There is the right of domicile. The Negro under law and under custom can reside in any part of the United States that he chooses. What a change in fifty years? The Negro can own property in any part of the United States, another tremendous change in our condition within a half century. The Negro has a greater opportunity to get ownership in the soil in this country, especially in the Southern states, than any ten millions of DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, AUGUST 27 1910. people in the world who are in the same relative stage of civilization. No one can travel through this country as I am constantly doing, without being proud of the fact that the Negro is using this chance to get hold of the soil. Another fundamental condition for business and commercial success on the part of any race is the opportunity for the masses of the race to find work. Speaking now of the ten millions of colored people and speaking of the Southern states where the great bulk of the race lives, I would remind you that we have the advantage of having plenty of labor for the masses. For the most part, labor seeks the man instead of the man having to seek labor. As compared with any ten millions of people in the old world, the price received for our labor is three and four times higher than that received in many of the old countries. Let us never forget that the success of the man in business is dependent upon the success, the happiness and prosperity of the laboring classes. Let us advertise, then, the fact that the Negro is in demand as a laborer rather than place too much stress upon the exceptional cases where the Negro cannot get work, for here again my text applies, "For to him that hath shall be given," for no one wants to employ the man who cannot get work. [Image of a man in a suit with a tie, facing slightly to the right. The background is black. There are no visible texts or other elements in the image.] --- PRESIDENT The world is not in search of the lazy man. No one cares to employ the lawyer who has no clients or the physician who has no patients. With all of these fundamental elements favorable toward our industrial and business success, as a race in the United States, let us not, I repeat, make the mistake of dwelling over much upon the things that we have not, but rather glory in the opportunities that we possess, for the making of the most of these opportunities will bring us more openings and more opportunities. The more we advertise to the world that discriminations are made against us, the more will discriminations multiply. Let us as in some degree representing the present prosperity and the future hope of our race, go out from this meeting determined that each individual shall be a missionary in his community—a missionary in teaching the masses to get property, to be more thrifty, more economical, and resolved to establish an industrial or business enterprise whenever a possibility presents itself. press in securing priness unless life and in every part of t I call attention to colored people at the habit has so gition that a murder kind attracts little remembered, too, t these recent murder has any connex assaults upon women I speak with so sense of shame and I call attention to a period of thirty present summer no six colored men wered by mobs—she as if they had beasts.

To him that hath influence will be GINAL IN PO I have referred to the importance of keeping the bright side of our race before the public. In what I now say I may be guilty of seeming contradiction, nevertheless the matter is so important and so fundamental to industrial and business success that I cannot fail to call attention of the public to it. I have referred frankly and plainly to the duty of the ten millions of colored people in fitting themselves for industrial and commercial usefulness. I want to be equally plain and frank in referring to the responsibility resting upon those whose duty it is to enforce the law—to protect life and property, for there can be little prog- PRESIDENT ress in securing property or in business unless life and property are safe in every part of the Nation. I call attention to the murdering of colored people at this time because the habit has so grown upon the nation that a murder or lynching of this kind attracts little attention. Be it remembered, too, in connection with these recent murders, that not one in ten has any connection with alleged assaults upon woman. I speak with sorrow and with a sense of shame and humiliation when I call attention to the fact that within a period of thirty days during the present summer no less than twenty-six colored men were wantonly murdered by mobs—shot down or hanged as if they had been so many wild beasts. In one case, that near Palestine, Texas, the sheriff of the county, a Southern white man, says: "Men were going out killing Negroes as fast as they could find them, and so far as I could learn without any just cause. These Negroes had no wrong that I could discover." What a blot upon our Christian civilization does such lawlessness indicate. What a blush to every American citizen. Let this truth never be forgotten, that whatsoever a man or Nation sows, that it shall also reap. The white man who murders a Negro today and goes unpunished is likely to murder a white man tomorrow and go unpunished. There is but one remedy that will stand the test of the centuries, the enforcing of all laws in every section of the United States without regard to class, race or color. These outbreaks on the part of mobs and murderers not only result in the moral degradation of the whole people, but disturb and serve as a setback to business in an alarming degree among both races. I plead everywhere for equal and exact enforcement of the laws, not only in the interest of the colored race, but in the interest of all races, for without law enforcement our civilization will disappear, and we shall as a Nation, become an object of ridicule at the hands of other nations. We are making progress. Perhaps never before have the Negroes added to their wealth so rapidly as they are at present. The Negroes of Georgia, during the present year, added 47,045 acres to their land holdings, and increased the value of their land holdings $636,532. During the past year the Negroes of Georgia bought over $560,000 worth of city and town property. They paid taxes last year on 1,536,766 acres of land. Through their real estate purchases and other means they added in twelve months $1,430,000 to their taxable property. Negro property in Georgia was assessed in 1909 at $28,272,580. The Negroes of Virginia also during the year 1909 added 53,452 acres to their land holdings and increased their land values $175,740. They bought $360,000 worth of city and town property, and increased the total amount of their property holdings during the twelve months $971,994. The Negroes of Virginia are now paying taxes on 1,517,500 acres of land and last year paid taxes on $26,600,280 worth of property. From the recorded progress that is being made in Georgia, North Carolina and Virginia, where records are kept of Negro property owning, it is conservatively estimated that the Negroes of the United States are adding from twelve to fifteen millions of dollars to their wealth each year, and that their total wealth is now not far from $600,000,000. Besides, using a very conservative figure, I think, it is safe to say that the colored people in New York and Brooklyn own real estate valued at more than three million dollars, and in addition to this have over two million dollars deposited in the banking institutions of Greater New York. As indicating a very small proportion of the business enterprises that have been started by our people within a few months, I mention the incorporation of the Lee Wholesale Chemical and Drug Co. of Albany, and Atlanta, Ga. In the same connection I mention Ashburn Brothers of Franklin, Va., who have recently started a shirt manufacturing company with a capital of $20,000 and employing forty persons, with a daily capacity of fifty dozen shirts. A Durham N. C., a textile mill for the manufacture of hosiery has been started with a capital of $50,000. In November last the Rocky Mount Silk Manufacturing Company, at Rocky Mount, N. C., with a capital of $50,000 began the business venture of manufacturing silk. Ten years ago, before the starting of the Business League, there was not a single Negro bank in the state of Mississippi. At the present time Mississippi has eleven Negro banks. When this Business League was organized in Boston ten years ago there were only four Negro banks in the United States; at the present time there are fifty-six Negro banks. But, while we are making progress, while we are organizing business enterprises of one kind and another, there are not a few signs that indicate that the time has come when we must speak plainly regarding certain unholly practices which are too fast multiplying among our people in the organization of these business enterprises. I refer to the disposition on the part of certain individuals and certain organizations to try to get something for nothing, to try to get something without paying the price, the price of hard, earnest, honest effort. The fundamental difficulty in many cases is that individuals are not satisfied to begin in a small, humble, simple way and gradually develop NO. 50 their business into something that is larger, that is to grow naturally and logically. It is many times better to start in the humblest way, the simplest way, and gradually gather experience as one grows in business than it is to start with a big flourish of trumpets a complicated business enterprise that can only live a few days for want of capital or want of experience. There are too many organiatzions springing up here and there that have for their object the deception of the public, the cheating of the public, and especially the common, ignorant masses, out of their hard-earned money. This deception is usually practiced by individuals or by organizations parading themselves before the public as representing business enterprises that are going to make poor people rich people within a day or year, that are, in short, going to make something out of nothing. It is a practice that is too fast growing, that of selling worthless shares of stock and other securities that have nothing back of them except promises and talk. It is a practice that should be condemned by all honest people. Every time one of these false and deceiving organizations get a dollar from the masses which is either squandered, stolen, or never returned to the investor, it is made harder for legitimate business enterprises to succeed. The practice of promising to pay large dividends on money invested in these fake enterprises should cease; if it does not our people will be retarded many years in their business and industrial progress. We must make it understood from this time forth that the members of the Business League will stand for nothing but that which has an honest and straight-forward purpose back of it. AT BILLINGS, MONT. By special invitation of Charles Cox, a former Denver boy who is now located at Billings, Mont., the writer visited the Elks club at that place a few days ago, and through the courtesy of Mr. Cox and Mr. C. H. Browning, was shown through every department of the building, the furnishing of which surpasses anything in the West, in fact, the most fastidious observer would marvel at its grandeur and splendor. Numerous elk heads—the emblematic ensign of the Order of Elks—besides many other head mountings, adorn the beautiful walls. The floors are covered with the finest rugs and carpets that are made on which are scattered here and there hides of nearly every species of ferocious animal which form a spectacular and admirable menagerie. None but those familiar with the finest and most expensive wood that grows could do justice in describing the beautiful furniture. The bar room, which was fitted up at a cost of $17,000 is certainly "a dream," at least that is the phrase used by those who have seen it, to express their admiration. The beverages served comprise those of the best that money can buy and it is gratifying to note that the bartenders are two young colored men, Mr. Charles Cox and Mr. C. H. Browning, whose efficiency has brought forth laudable comment. Only colored help is employed in the club for which the credit is due to Mr. J. Collins West, whose exchequer is responsible for the erection and furnishing of this magnificent palace. Notwithstanding the fact that Mr. Collins is less than 25 years old he is a millionaire and one of the leading and astute business men of Billings and his influence for the promotion of the city and state is sought by many and endorsed by everybody. That he is a friend of the Negro goes without saying as he has at all times proven this by his generous dealings in their behalf. Always Staunch And True Always Staunch And True The Denver Republican has always avoided the fallacies and knaveries of yellow journalism, and its steadily increasing Circulation proves conclusively that its policy of telling the plain Truth without exaggeration or misrepresentation, standing fast for the Right, is heartily approved with growing force by the intelligent Public to which it appeals. To read it is a liberal Education, and the citizen who goes without it does a positive harm to himself, to his family, and to the community.

DURING THE PAST WEEK RECORD OF IMPORTANT EVENTS CONDENSED FOR BUSY PEOPLE WESTERN. Cheyenne is now en fete for what promises to be the most successful celebration of Frontier days ever. One hundred and twenty-nine carloads of peaches were shipped from Palisade, Colo., Monday and Tuesday. After a visit to the northern Colorado coal fields Secretary of State Pearce said there was no need for state troops there. The Wyoming Liquor Dealers' Association was organized at Cheyenne Tuesday to combat the effects of the work being done by the Wyoming Anti-Saloon League. Thirty-three soldiers were prostrated by heat during the practice marches at Fort Riley, Kas., Monday. The temperature was 102 in the shade, marking the hottest day since the army meneuvers began. Presidential proclamation has eliminated nearly half a million acres from five national forests in Colorado, as follows: Leadville, 42,430 acres; Pike, 51,024; Montezuma, 348,681; San Juan, 18,810, and Rio Grande, 64,849. Archie Roosevelt has completed his visit in the Black Hills and left with Capt. Bullock for the Rosebud Indian reservation near Valentine, Neb., where he will be shown Indian life as it now is. Capt. Bullock will then take him to join his father. Charles Dunbar Bishop and Joseph C. Brown, the two young men who confessed to holding up the China-Japan mail near Goodyear, Calif., last April, pleaded guilty to the charge of robbery Monday at Vallejo, Calif., and were sentenced to forty-five years each in the penitentiary. Interest in the Idaho forest fires is centered upon the fate of Forest Ranger H. F. Kottkey and 200 men, who until Tuesday night had not been heard from since Friday night, when they were fighting the flames in the country between Wallace and the St. Joe river. With every steam siren and whistle in the city shrieking a welcome, with the business houses and schools closed and the streets lined with thousands of people, Oakland, Calif., greeted the first continental train to reach the Pacific coast over the Western Pacific Railroad Company's tracks late Monday afternoon. Rumors that large eastern spinning mills were shipping wool from Europe at a higher price than paid for the American product in order to lower the price of the same grades of home wool, has caused sheepmen of the Arkansas valley in Colorado to hold their product for higher prices. Eastern representatives who hoped to obtain wool at 17 cents are returning disappointed. The conference of Rocky mountain and Pacific coast states governors at Salt Lake City adopted a resolution reciting that inasmuch as assurances had been given that a full and free discussion of the subject of conservation could be had, the Pacific coast and Rocky mountain states would cordially take part in the convention and delegates would be appointed of such force as would impress on the convention the sincerity and justice of the demands to be presented by the western states, which were most affected by the national conservation policies and laws. CENSUS. Toledo, Ohio, 168,497, an increase of 36,675, or 27.8 per cent. Sloux City, Ia., 47,828, an increase of 14,717, or 44.4 per cent. Flint, Mich., 38,560, an increase of 25,447, or 194.2 per cent. Jackson, Mich., 31,433, an increase of 6,253, or 24.8 per cent. Detroit, Mich., 465,766, an increase of 180,062, or 63 per cent. Battle Creek, Mich., 25,267, an increase of 6,704, or 36.1 per cent. Oklahoma's increase is 100 per cent; Rhode Island's 26.6 per cent. Latest estimate for U. S., 90,000,000. Census figures indicate that the East is holding its own with the West in the increase of population, and that the cities are running ahead of all proportion to the country districts. FOREIGN. Lieut. Vivaldi of the Italian army was killed at Rome by a fall from his aeroplane. Hawley Harvey Crippen and Ethel Clare Leneve sailed from Quebec for England on the liner Megantic Saturday night and are due at Liverpool at noon next Saturday. By Saturday night they will probably be lodged in a London jail to await trial for the murder of a woman supposed to be Crippen's wife, Belle Elmore. WASHINGTON. Headquarters for the compilation of data concerning the irrigation survey will be established at Salt Lake. Its object will be to obtain complete information concerning irrigation projects. General Estrada Monday cabled Secretary Knox an assurance to the American people of his warm regard and offered to make amends for the execution of the Americans, Cannon and Groce, and other unfriendly acts toward the United States. POLITICAL. Senator La Follette will not enter the primary campaign in the contest for renomination unless he has to, is reported. Senator William Warner of Missouri has announced that he would not be a candidate for re-election to the United States Senate. The support of the negro electorate of the United States for a possible third term was pledged in behalf of Col. Roosevelt by the 1,100 delegates of the National Negro Business Men's Leage in convention in New York. President Taft and ex-President Roosevelt are fellow workers in the same political field. The threat that they might pull apart has been forefended by a full explanation on one side and an unreserved acceptance on the other. SPORT. The next meeting of the American Bowling Congress will be held in the Coliseum, St. Louis, Jan. 11th to February 7th. Sixteen alleys will be put down. The football rules committee has given out the rules for the 1910 season. One of the most important changes is the elimination of the flying tackle. In the fastest race ever trotted by 3-year-olds, the Western colt, Colorado E., owned by George H. Estabrook of Denver, driven by "Gus" Macey, at the opening of the New York Grand Circuit meeting at Empire City park, Tuesday, won the $15,000 matron futurity stakes in 2:07 $ and 2:07 $, easing up at the finish of each heat. Scott Clark of Colorado, apparently about 19, lay down with fifty others on the firing line facing the 1,000-yard targets at Camp Perry, O., to shoot for place in the individual trio match, an unknown youth among 339 others who had not distinguished themselves at the rifle range. He arose with a name which will be spoken everywhere by men who know and love the sport. He drove nineteen consecutive bullets through the morning mist to a three-foot bull's eye eight city blocks away. GENERAL. Mayor Gaynor of New York was up about three hours Tuesday. The name of United States Senator Robert L. Owen entered into the Oklahoma Indian land investigation Monday. The Rev. Dudley Foster of Chicago has given up the pastorate of the Rider Memorial Universalist church to go on the stage. When her grocer repeated the offense of delivering to her "tanned" and antiquated eggs, Mrs. Allon Kilfosky of Granite City, Ill., made him sit down and dine with her; but he couldn't cut the steak nor swallow the eggs, so he refused to finish the meal and promised to furnish better eatables. Knocked down, trampled upon and finally gored to death by a steer was the fate of Michael Burns, 40 years old, 403 West Forty-third street, yardman in the employ of Clay, Robinson & Co. at the Chicago stock yards. The beast lunged one of its horns entirely through the body of the man and hurled him over a fence 20 feet away. President Taft's keynote speech for the congressional campaign became known Tuesday. The President will favor further revision of the tariff. While he is still convinced that the Payne-Aldrich law is the best tariff law the country has had up to this time he has at last reached the conclusion that there is decided room for improvement. Consideration of the proposed uniform fraternal bill is the most important matter to come before the annual session of the Associated Fraternities of America, in session at Atlantic City. The meeting will decide whether the form of state regulation proposed by the insurance commissioners' convention and endorsed last week by the National Fraternal Congress, shall promptly be adopted. Tumult and disorder marked Saturday's session of the special convention of the United Mine Workers at Indianapolis. The long delayed show of strength between the Lewis and anti-Lewis factions proved disastrous to President Lewis. Forced from the chair for the first time by an appeal from his ruling, he surrendered the gavel to John Mitchell and saw himself overruled by a vote of 637 to 445 on a rising vote. Theodore Roosevelt wound up the first day of his pilgrimage into the West by placing himself directly in opposition to Vice President Sherman. Speaking Tuesday at Utica, N. Y., he warmly indorsed State Senator Frederick Davenport, who is a staunch progressive and whom Mr. Sherman has said that he would not support. Mr. Sherman was out of town, and did not see Colonel Roosevelt. Dividend and interest payments in September can be estimated at $100,000,000, an increase of $20,000,000 over the corresponding period of last year. COMING EVENTS IN COLORADO.

Miss Irene Howbert, a resident of the Pike's Peak region since 1860 and a member of one of Colorado's most prominent families, died at Colorado Springs at the age of 60. The Denver & Rio Grande has organized a force of 100 men to work day and night shifts iceing refrigerator cars at Grand Junction, Minturn, Glenwood Springs, Pando and Cardiff. Railroads operating on the western slope have given assurances that the shortage of refrigerator cars which caused such annoyance and loss to fruit growers last year will not be repeated this year, but that plenty of cars have been arranged for to handle the immense movement of fruit speedily. A big irrigation project which will mean much to the northwestern part of the state seems in a fair way to come to a successful culmination. It is proposed to take the water from the Williams Fork a few miles above the Egry ranch, carry it across the divide onto the Bear river slope and irrigate about 60,000 acres of land south of Hayden and Craig. The plan is believed to be feasible and will no doubt be carried through. The Colorado Editorial Association held its midsummer meeting at Buena Vista Friday and Saturday and were given a look-in at the new Kuenzel smelter where ores were being reduced to a matter which will be refined in a department not yet completed. The editors were also entertained at a banquet tendered by Warden and Mrs Felix O'Neill of the State Reformatory, where urgent needs of the institution were pointed out, and the newspaper men will work to create a more generous sentiment among their state legislators in the way of appropriations, that this institution may do efficiently and speedily the work laid out for it. R. Delaney, an employee of the government near Olathe, followed a spree by committing suicide, the means being a mixture of lemon extract, arnica, vinegar and carbolic acid. Water Commissioner J. M.

State Fish and Game Commissioner Holland has been investigating the situation. ROOSEVELT HAS DECLARED WAR SAYS HE WILL FIGHT FOR CLEAN DECENT, HONEST POLITICS. ISSUE IS CLEAN CUT FRIENDS ARE DOUBTFUL IF HE WILL RECEIVE HEARTY SUPPORT. Utica, N. Y.—Theodore Roosevelt served notice Wednesday that he would wage war without quarter on the "old guard" of the Republican party in New York state. Having been drawn into the fight, as he says, against his will, he has determined to pusue it to the end, win or lose. Mr. Roosevelt's intention was indicated more clearly than at any time before by a statement which he issued Wednesday. The colonel said he was going into the fight with his eyes open and with full realization of the fact that he might not be successful. He said that he felt that, owing to the attitude of the members of the organization, he was at perfect liberty to carry on uncompromising warfare. When a statement by William Barnes, Jr., the Albany leader, to the effect that there would be a fight in the convention against its domination by Mr. Roosevelt, was read to him Mr. Roosevelt said: "They will have all the fight they want. I am only going to the convention because I feel that the interests of the people of New York demand that the Republican party be given a chance to stand squarely and uncompromisingly for clean, decent, honest politics. "I go to the convention to make the speech exactly as it had been planned originally and while I hope there will be enough good sense to prevent anyone opposing the principles for which I shall stand, yet if they do oppose them, then it is their own affair and, so far as I am concerned (the issue shall be absolutely clean cut." Some of Colonel Roosevelt's closest friends in the state have told him that they were doubtful as to the outcome and he has replied that he himself felt that even though he should be successful in the state convention at Saratoga, and such a platform as he desired should be adopted, the result of the election would be in grave doubt. The colonel has told his friends that he did not feel sure the Roosevelt-Hughes forces would receive unqualified support from the organization at the polls. Colonel Roosevelt's announcement of State Senator Frederick Davenport, was the first step in the fight which he expects to carry on from now until election time. Cleveland, O.—James R. Garfield, secretary of the interior under Roosevelt, left his Mentor, Ohio, home, Wednesday night for a speaking tour of the West, during which he will ally himself with Roosevelt and Pinchot in the discussion of Progressive Republicanism and conservation of the national resources. He will join the Roosevelt party at Cheyenne, Wyoming. On the evening of August 29th he will speak before the Round Table Club of Denver on conservation, his address being a reply to the declaration of Secretary Ballinger that the Roosevelt conservation policy is obstructive. Garfield expects to enter the fall campaign in many states, notably Indiana, where he will champion the cause of Senator Beveridge. Vermont May Lose a Congressman! Burlington, Vt. — The forthcoming census announcement will show a startling decrease in the population of Vermont, sufficient, it is said, to jeopardize the size of the Green Mountain delegation in the lower branch of Congress. The reduction would be in effect a permanent loss of one Republican representative. Democrats are manifesting unconcealed joy. Durand, Mich. — Eighteen bodies have been recovered from the wreck of Grand Trunk train No. 4, Chicago to Montreal, which was wrecked three miles east of this city. The wreck immediately caught fire and many of the bodies were burned almost beyond recognition. A Septuagenarian Peripatetic.

With the state house, the capital city and other so practical militant manouver should be and that all this hubbub among the congress generals should cease. There are no nor so important as the issues between gentlemen who are so anxiously opening, looking the preliminaries, and putting that will invite sure defeat. To elect will be necessary to invite all the factions and eliminate all selfish interests in United States senatorship. If there are brado Republicans to respect the author place in the hands of their regular ment of pre-convention affairs, we must brado is to have two Democratic U. S. publicans have been guilty of a great deed or more and the habit seems to be very more than they want any one man who are putting themselves in the little consideration at the hands of them, with the duty of straightening out to which they are so desperately weaving. It is a mighty bad time just now for the Republicans of Colorado to begin an all-round scramble for endorsements for office. With the Democratic party entrenched in the state house, the capital city and other strongholds, it would seem that the first practical militant manouver should be passed up to the board of strategy and that all this hubbub among the colonels and the captains and the major generals should cease. There are no issues between Republicans so great or so important as the issues between the two opposing parties, and the gentlemen who are so anxiously opening their campaigns for big offices are overlooking the preliminaries, and putting the party in a position of unreadiness that will invite sure defeat. To elect a Republican Legis lature this fall it will be necessary to invite all the factions now warring among themselves and eliminate all selfish interests injected by would-be candidates for the United States senatorship. If there is not enough party loyalty among Colorado Republicans to respect the authority of their present higher officials and place in the hands of their regular organization the unrestricted management of pre-convention affairs, we may as well make up our minds that Colorado is to have two Democratic U. S. Senators instead of one. Colorado Republicans have been guilty of a great deal of foolishness in the past two years or more and the habit seems to be growing. The rank and file want victory more than they want any one man's triumph and the pretentious gentlemen who are putting themselves in the way of this achievement deserve very little consideration at the hands of the delegates who shall finally be burdened with the duty of straightening out the tangled mass of fictional wires which they are so desperately weaving.

The delegates and spectators, by rising vote almost unanimously expressed their confidence in him with a promise of their support, should it be required in 1912. Mr. Roosevelt made a characteristic address to the convention in which he endorsed many of the policies of Booker T. Washington, advising especially against the doctrine of hate between the races. It has always seemed to The Colorado Statesman, however, that this advice to Negroes, like much other advice, so generously and abundantly given them, is altogether superfluous and unnecessary. The Negro is not a hatenursing mortal. He is never an anarchist. He has scarcely been known in history as an insurrectionist; he displays none of the stealthy, vengeful characteristics or desperate traits of those classes or races which employ destructive, murderous means to accomplish those vindictive ends which their numerical and physical weaknesses restrain them from boldly attempting. The Negro abhors, despises and fears the cruel, ever-changing and seemingly never ending oppression to which the white man for centuries has subjected him, but, strangely enough, in spite of it all, and with but the natural buoyancy of his own nature and its heaven-sent rays of faith and hopefulness, he harbors no lasting hate for the white people, as a people, nor any special desire for vengeance against particularly inhuman individuals, which a spirit of sincere moral reform, coupled with an obviously kind policy of material redemption and physical restitution will not conciliate and banish. The Negro loves and trusts the white man just as much as the white man will allow himself to be loved and trusted by a weaker mortal, whom he has in turn made his chattel, his tool, his ward, and his underised fellow. Such hatred and resentment as he evinces is but the atted and resentment of the hunted animal brought to bay—the instinct of self-preservation. He Negro condemns and fears the white people of the South only so far as they deserve to be condemned and feared, and he loves and trusts and is faithful to the white people of the South beyond all precedent, whenever and wherever those white people retain and manifest those marks of human kindness which kindle affection and faith in the hearts of the lowly of God's creatures. The practical adjustment of all phases of race antagonism in America to a level of equanimity and social peace is a responsibility resting heaviest upon the white man, who needs the most constant, patient and self-searching advice. The Negro needs to improve himself as fast as his fettered but ever-widening opportunities will permit and to remain patient and peaceful, hopeful and forbearing. There is no other way across the chasm, and the white man's best thought and most solemn advice is needed on his own side of the slowly-bridging gulf. A NEW SOUTHERN MOVEMENT. Northern immigration movement is attracting us and receiving the enthusiastic encroachment press, and of the populations of the course it is a matter concerning the interests the Negro only in its relative rights possible creation of new racial relations of Slavs and Hungarians are said to be both and this foreign element is being lairs from the North and Northwest when raising parts of the Carolinas, Georgia, the comparative cheapness of fertile live opportunities in agricultural and A NEW Southern immigration movement is attracting the attention of observing Americans and receiving the enthusiastic encouragement, particularly of the Southern press, and of the populations of the sections immediately benefited. Of course it is a matter concerning the white man's social adjustment, and interests the Negro only in its relative effect upon labor conditions and in its possible creation of new racial relationships. A considerable number of Slavs and Hungarians are said to be settling in various sections of the South and this foreign element is being largely supplemented by American farmers from the North and Northwest who are being drawn to particularly promising parts of the Carolinas, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi and Tennessee by the comparative cheapness of fertile lands and the recognition of new creative opportunities in agricultural and trade development. The sentiment has already been expressed by prominent white leaders that the South has permitted itself to remain too long dependent upon "ignorant Negro labor" and that the gradual installation of a more progressive element, an element more receptive of modern ideas of progress is absolutely necessary to bring the South up to the material and commercial standards of other sections of the country. The coming of Northern farmers, with progressive ideas about scientific farming and land development is therefore particularly pleasing. Without resort to unavailing sentiment or useless complaining, Negroes who are in position to see and to advise, should take careful note of the progress of movements of this character and of their effect upon racial conditions. Changes in Southern agricultural conditions are inevitable and must be followed by an adjustment of labor and social relations conforming to the new basic conditions, but it is not necessary that the benefit should be confined to white men if the Negro, with the great advantage of his legions of labor, though now ignorant and unskilled, shall not be too long awakening to a realization of his danger. It can be confidently expected, however, in this case, as in all others, that the activity of the white man, bringing obvious changes in rural farms and holdings as well as in industrial conditions in cities and towns, will inspire a natural counter-drift of some kind among Negroes, of self-preserving proportions, which nevertheless will be of equal benefit to the South in general, from the welfare and destiny of which the black man seems now to be inseparable. Southern white men, whatever their hopes and efforts, should realize first of all that their only reasonable chance for redemption from past and present conditions rests in the development of all the people of the South, black as well as white, and that no endeavor to benefit and improve one and ignore and abandon the other can ever avail them any permanent good. Paris, France, Aug. 5.—Major Taylor, of Worcester, Mass., U. S.A., was made president of one of the biggest automobile firms in this city and is on a fair road to become wealthy. Mr. Taylor was for several years the world's champion bicyclist. His gentlemanly conduct while riding here won for him the admiration of all France. When Bishop A. Walters of the A. M. E. Zion Church was in Liberia, not long since, he was most highly honored by that country. Some time previous to his visit there the government concluded to decorate two distinguished Negroes for meritorious services on behalf of Liberia, and for which purpose two medals of Africa gold were ordered struck. One of these was given to Dr. Booker T. Washington, the other was bestowed on Bishop Walters. An effort to supplant Negro farm labor, has failed, it is reported, in Arkansas. All sorts of experiments have been and are being tried in the Southern States to take bread out of the Negro's mouth by supplanting him as a labor factor in first one and then another department of industry, but the experiments do not make much headway. And we know as much about politics of Georgia as either of them. Colorado Springs, Colo., Aug. 18.—William Johnson, colored, who narrowly escaped lynching at the hands of an infuriated mob in Manitou, Sunday, when he was said to have pushed Mrs. Mrs. J. Peterson of Denver from her seat in a street car to make room for his female companion, was fined $1 and costs after a jury trial, today. The evidence failed, to prove that Johnson was insolent to Mrs. Peterson. The most interesting event among Negro Baptist of the far northwest for the month of August is the eleveth annual meeting of the general Baptist convention. The sessions will be held in the Calvary Baptist church, Portland, Ore., from Aug. 24 to 28. Among the speakers will be such well known persons as the Rev. E. W. D. Isaacs, Dr. Sutton E. Griggs Professor William Green, Hon. Lewis H. Dawley, Mrs. H. C. Parson, Dr. J. B. Brown and Editor J. G. McPherson. Ossawatomie, Kans., Aug. 18. The program for the dedication of the John Brown Park, at which exPresident Roosevelt will deliver the dedicatory address on August 31, has been completed by the executive committee of the Commercial Club of Ossawatomie, which has in charge the celebration. The ground to be dedicated to the State consists of 22 acres on the site of the battle of Ossawatomie, August 30, 1853. Pine Camp, N. Y., Aug. 12. A race dispute has broken out in camp which may easily assume a serious aspect if not quickly settled. The trouble started when the officers and men of squardron C of Brooklyn learned that they were to use the same shower baths that are used by the colored troopers of the Tenth cavalry. They protested immediately, and it is reported that a petition is being prepared asking that other arrangements be made. The first maneuvers of the second period were held this afternoon. No disorder has resulted in the race conflict between the militiamen and the Negro tropers over the use of shower baths. Mars' Canals. Bill—"I see a wise astronomer is telling the people that he has noticed some disturbance on Mars." Bill—"Perhaps it's one of those canal mules kicking again." TWO GOOD CAKE RECIPES Striped Cakes and Small Cakes Good Enough to Tempt Most Jaded Appetite. Striped Cake.—White Part.—One-half cupful butter, one cupful sugar, one-half cupful sweet milk, two cupfuls flour in which is sifted two tea-apronfuls baking powder, whites of three eggs. Dark Part.—One cupful brown sugar, one tablespoonful molasses, one-half cupful butter, one-half cupful sour milk in which dissolve one-half teaspoonful soda, two cupfuls of flour, one tablespoonful of cinnamon and allspice. Drop a spoonful of each kind in a well greased cake dish, first the light part, then the dark, alternately. Try to drop it so that the cake shall be well streaked through, so that it has the appearance of a striped cake. Small Cakes.—One pint of New Orleans molasses, one pound brown sugar, one tablespoon of melted butter, two tablespoons of soda, one-half cup of sour milk, one-half teaspoon each of cinnamon, cloves and allspice, one nutmeg, pinch of mace, and one grated orange and lemon; flour to make a stiff dough. Mix the ingredients the night before and in the morning roll out thin and cut in long; add more flour if needed, as some flour differs. ALL AROUND the HOUSE If hooks for the bathroom, kitchen and pantry are dipped in enamel paint there will be no trouble from iron rust. Having several pairs of shoes and never wearing the same pair more than one or two days at a time will rest the leather and make it last better. Chamois leather should be washed, when necessary, in soapsuds, and rinsed in soapsuds—not in clean water. Treated thus it will keep its original softness. Any dish that has held dough, milk, cream or eggs should be rinsed in cold water before being placed in hot water, as hot water tends to cook such things and make them more difficult to remove. Small glasses filled with jelly will prove to be very acceptable gifts when Christmas time comes. When making your own supply of jelly fill a few little glasses of different flavors, put into a prettily trimmed basket or box will make a nice present for an invalid friend. Save old kid gloves for ironing day. Sew a pad made from the left glove on to the palm of the right one, and you will find your hand is saved from becoming blistered, while the fingers and the back of the hand will be protected from the scorching heat, which is so damaging to the skin. Helps for the Housekeeper. Green blinds that have become faded may be renewed by rubbing them with a rag saturated with linseed oil. To atta a good glaze on linen it is necessary for it to be damp, for the iron to be hot and for great pressure to be used. To clean carved ivory make a paste of sawdust damped with water and a few drops of lemon juice; lay it thickly on the carving. Let this dry thoroughly, and then brush it off with a dry cloth. When washing glassware do not put it in hot water bottom first, as it will be liable to crack from sudden expansion. Even delicate glass can be safely washed in very hot water if slipped in edgewise. A Convenient Dryer As great a boon as women know a vacuum cleaner to be, comparatively few have learned to put it to personal use. When they buy one for their home use they revel over the clean house they will keep, with never a thought as to clean clothes and a clean scalp. Instead of laboriously brushing your tailor suit with a whisk, stand in front of the vacuum cleaner and every particle of dust and dirt is lifted out in a few minutes. Nothing remains to do but wash off grease spots and pressing. Shampoos are simplified by using the cleaner as a dryer. Put off the blower, sit in front of it, and the hair is dry in a surprisingly short time. Blueberry Biscuit. Add a cup of blueberries to the ordinary baking powder tea biscuit, made from a quart of flour, three heaping teaspoonfuls of baking powder, a large teaspoonful of butter, a little salt and two scant cups of sweet milk. Make the biscuit as soft as possible and with as little handling, and bake in a quick oven. These are delicious for luncheon or tea. The berries should be washed, dried and rolled in flour before adding them to the dough. Carrot Conserve. Wash and scrape half dozen firm carrots, put through meat chopper and cut a small as peas. Boll half hour in slightly salted water, then drain, and to each pint add two cups of light brown sugar and the juice and half the grated rind of one lemon. Cook slowly til clear, about 1½ hours. This is an agreeable novelty with a decided foreign flavor.

Manitou being the "garden spot" of Colorado causes a great many tourists to come to it. Yet the accommodations for the Negroes are so limited renders it both embarrassing and disagreeable. I wonder why some of Colorado's business Negro men wouldn't build a modern hotel here for the benefit of the Negro tourist? It would be quite an investment. Mr. Joseph A.

Noel Co Street SEPT 5. Children 65c NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY BY E. J. Edwards How Lincoln Was Re-elected How Lincoln Was Re-elected Tweed's Methods in Business Harry Vanderbilt Obtained Nearly $300,000 to Pay for the Campaign by Personal Appeals to Wealthy Men in the East. As a remarkable instance of how it is possible for a man to accomplish a work regarded at the time as of supreme importance and still remain in comparative obscurity, the case of Harry Vanderbilt, a nephew of Commodore Vanderbilt, who died recently in New York city at a green old age after making a fortune for himself as a manufacturer, is of especial interest. For this Vanderbilt, on the authority of his life-long friend, B. J. Jayne, who earned a name and a fortune for himself in the seventies by uncovering a nest of great customs frauds, should be accredited with the honor of having made it possible for Abraham Lincoln to secure his re-election to the presidency in 1864. "For some years prior to the outbreak of the Civil war," said Mr. Jayne, who is now almost eighty years of age, "Harry Vanderbilt held a responsible position in the Portsmouth (New Hampshire) navy yard; but when Salmon P. Chase became Lincoln's first secretary of the treasury, Mr. Vanderbilt went to that department as appointment clerk, remaining there for more than ten years, or until the middle of Grant's administration. It was during Lincoln's first administration that Mr. Vanderbilt's ability as a trusted political worker was discovered and proved on several occasions by the party chiefs. "It is well known that, following Lincoln's renomination, the party leaders in charge of the campaign greatly feared that Mr. Lincoln would fall of re-election on account of the inability of the national committee to obtain funds sufficient to carry or a thorough and aggressive campaign. It was at a very anxious period of the war. The drain on the resources of the nation had been exhausting and no immediate relief was in sight. Taxation had reached what appeared to be the limit of safety and all demands for money for political purposes were met by sullenness or absolute refusal. The national committee seemed to be powerless to find a way out of the uncompromising situation. Its chairman, Henry J. Raymond, the distinguished newspaper editor, was not an adept in the art of raising campaign funds, and he had a profound distaste for ordinary political methods of getting money for campaign purposes. Gov. E. D. Morgan of New York, his predecessor in the national chairmanship, had collected upward of a hundred thousand dollars to conduct Lincoln's first campaign, but it was estimated by the party leaders that con- Illustrated by the Impulsive Manner in Which the "Boss" Bought Some Property He Wanted to Add to Country Estate. When William M. Tweed, who is notorious in the history of American graft as "Boss" Tweed, was at the height of his power in New York city—when, in other words, the metropolis of the New World practically ate out of his hand—he lived the greater part of the year not in the city that he and his ring were robbing right and left, but in the town of Greenwich, Conn. There Tweed bought a farm in 1865. It is now the country home of Mrs. A. A. Anderson, who is well known throughout the country as a woman of great philanthropy. In the farm as it was when Tweed bought it there were forty acres, and upon the place Tweed began at once to spend a large amount of money. The barn which he builft cost $40,000, a large sum for such a building in those days, and it gained national notoriety. About five years later Tweed decided that he would like to secure an adjoining piece of property and add it to his country home. This was a tract of twenty acres owned by the late Frederick Mead, who in his time was a prominent merchant and banker in New York city. Tweed was very anxious to obtain possession of Mr. Mead's acres because he felt that they would round out and complete his own place. Whatever else may be said to Tweed's dishonor, this must be said in his favor—he was a man of a good deal of artistic taste and had a keen eye for natural beauty. "What will you sell that twenty-acre tract for?" Tweed said to Mr. Mead one day. "I don't think I want to sell it at all," was the reply. "Well," said Tweed, "think it over, and if you can decide upon a price let me know." Several weeks later Tweed, meeting Mr. Mead at the Greenwich railroad station as they both were on their way to New York city, pressed the latter Lecture Beecher Forgot About Lecture Beecher Forgot About siderably more than double that sum would be required to re-elect their candidates. To whom should be allotted the herculean task of obtaining is immense sum? "It was at this trying moment that the name of Harry Vanderbilt was suggested as that of a man who knew many prominent men in the money centers. Who put forward his name Mr. Vanderbilt never learned, but immediately thereafter he was asked to undertake the raising of the campaign fund, and, with characteristic modesty, he replied that he would do his best to get together the badly needed funds. "Quietly, and with his mission known to only a few, Mr. Vanderbilt began the task of trying to raise at least two hundred thousand dollars, and as much as three hundred thousand dollars if possible. The first city that he visited, as I now remember it, was Boston. There he made personal appeals to men of wealth who were of the Republican party, and at last secured from them, either in actual Newspaper Accounts of the Sullivan-Ryan Prize Fight Caused the Preacher to Be Late for Engagement at Divinity School. The well nigh universal interest that was being taken in a certain event scheduled to take place in San Francisco on July 4 has served to remind me of the lecture that great and powerful preacher, Henry Ward Beecher, forgot all about. My authority for the anecdote, which reveals one side of the abundant human nature which was so characteristic of Mr. Beecher, is the late Prof. Johnson T. Platt of the Yale Law school. "Mr. Beecher was always a favorite lecturer at Yale, before the divinity school," said Professor Platt. "You may recall that he delivered several series of lectures on the Lyman Beecher foundation, named after his father, and at other times he also lectured before the school. "Well, on the afternoon of the particular Beecher lecture I have in mind the hall was packed to the doors with students and others eager to hear him. The hour set for the beginning of the lecture was three o'clock, but when it arrived there appeared no Henry Ward Beecher, to the mild surprise of the professors in charge, for hitherto Mr. Beecher had never been tardy in appearing in the hall. But when it got to be nearly half after three and still no Beecher, the surprise and consternation were great, and, after a hasty consultation, a pro to put a price upon his twenty acres. Tweed, in fact, was insistent that Mr. Mead should do so, but the merchant as steadily insisted that his place was not for sale. "But you will sell if you can get your price, won't you?" Tweed finally asked. "You will certainly sell the property for a Tweed price?" "What do you mean by a Tweed price?" asked Mr. Mead. "Why," was the reply, "a price that Tweed will be willing to pay." Mr. Mead laughed. "Well, I would sell that twenty-acre lot for $55,000," he said, still laughing. "That is $2,750 an acre. You would not be willing to pay that for it?" Instantly Twed turned to the station agent. "Look here," he said, "lend me pen and ink, will you?" At the same time he pulled out a check book, opened it, selzed the proffered ink and pen, wrote out a check for $55,000 on the little shelf before the ticket agent's window and handed it to the astonished and nonplussed Mr. Mead. "Now that I have paid you, Mr. Mead," he said, "you can send me the warranty deed at your convenience." A high value upon the property at that time would have been $500 an acre. Today a high value upon it would probably be a thousand dollars an acre, almost two-thirds less an acre than Tweed paid in the heyday of his notoriously. (Copyright, 1910, by E. J. Edwards.) Cure for Sleeping Sickness. A new treatment for the sleeping sickness is called the cold cure, and requires a refrigerator with a hospital ward installed in it.

Next he canvassed Philadelphia, where he also secured a large sum, then New York and several other cities. In none was his mission known to or even suspected by any one on whom he did not call; and in this manner he at last got together a fund that totaled close on to three hundred thousand dollars, to the great delight and relief of the national committee. Then, having been assured by those in the secret that he had performed a great service in behalf of the Union, Mr. Vanderbilt went back to his duties as appointment clerk in the treasury department. Just how Mr. Vanderbilt induced the men he visited to contribute to the campaign fund, no one ever knew exactly," added Mr. Jayne. "All one ever learned from him was that he made personal appeals. He never boasted about the important part he played in making possible the re-election of Abraham Lincoln. I am one of the very few men with whom Harry Vanderbilt ever talked about this feat of his; and I am certain that I am the only one now living who knows personally that it was he who raised the Lincoln campaign fund of 1864." (Copyright, 1910, by E. J. Edwards.) fessor was sent to the hotel where Mr. Beecher usually stopped, to get trace of the missing lecturer, if possible. "Yes, Mr. Beecher was stopping at the hotel, the clerk informed the professor, who thereupon hastened to Mr. Beecher's room, knocked upon the door and was told to come in, which he did at once. But before he could frame even a "how do you do" Mr. Beecher, spying him, let out an astonished 'I declare!' followed it up by hastily pulling out his watch and looking at it, and exclaiming in dismay. Why, it's going to four, and you have been waiting for me all this time at the divinity school." "He grabbed for his hat. Then, as he was reaching for his overcoat, he turned on the professor with a quaint smile. "Oh, well," he said, "I might as well make a full confession. When I left my home in Brooklyn this morning I bought copies of two or three morning newspapers. There was something in them that interested me greatly, and I intended to read all about it on my way to this city. But after I got seated in the train a friend came along, I shared my seat with him, and he talked to me all the way here, so that I did not have an opportunity to read my papers. But as soon as I got to the hotel I saw that I would have an hour of leisure before the lecture began, so I slipped up here and began reading—and, do you know, I found the reports of the event so graphic that I actually forgot all about the lecture. It's in the Anglo-Saxon blood to be interested in such an event, doctor—I was reading about the Sullivan-Ryan fight which took place yesterday down in Mississippi." "For a moment or two Mr. Beecher looked the professor of divinity squarely in the eye. Then he reached over and dug that gentleman in the ribs. 'And now that I have made my confession,' he said, laughing, 'I'm going to say something to you. I would be willing to wager that you yourself read the report of that battle with bare knuckles this morning before you went to the divinity school.' "'Well, Mr. Beecher,' repiled the professor, 'I might as well confess, too, I did get up a little earlier than usual this morning and go to the front door for the morning paper. It hadn't come, so I actually waited at the door until the boy brought it. Then I sat down and read the report of the fight before breakfast.' "Mr. Beecher beamed on his companion in wickedness. 'Come,' he sald, and linked arms with the other. And that shameless professor afterwards told me that the lecture which Mr. Beecher delivered a little later was the best he ever heard that gifted orator make on any platform." (Copyright, 1910, by E. J. Edwards.) Studying Bird Habits Whether birds, especially migratory ones, return to the same nests year after year is a question of much interest to the naturalist. Swallows that summer in England do not winter north of Africa, but an observer at High Halden, Kent, England, has recorded that one returned on April 12 to a nest it occupied last year. It was recognized by a ring placed on its leg May 8, 1909. To gain a better knowledge of bird habits more than 2,000 British birds were last year marked with inscribed aluminium rings, and twice as many more will be similarly tagged this year.

TO MAKE SAVORY POTATOES Tasty Dish That Makes Capital Change Now and Then—Heat-Giving and Blood-Purifying. This recipe is exceedingly "tasty" and makes a capital change now and again, for it is heat-giving, blood-purifying and flesh forming. About six or eight potatoes, two small onions, one tablespoonful of white pepper, half a cupful of milk, half a cupful of water, three heaping tablespoonfuls of grated cheese. Put the butter into the bottom of a saucepan. Pare the potatoes very thinly; chop the onions and parsley. Mix the salt and pepper together on a saucer and have it beside you. Now cut the potatoes into slices (not shavings remember), and put a layer in the saucepan. Sprinkle in a little seasoning, then onion and parsley and begin again with the potatoes. When all are used up pour in the half cupful of water. Put the lid on close and let it cook very gently for 20 minutes. If cooked fast the potatoes break up and the dish is spoiled. The potatoes should rather be steamed than anything else. Now pour in the milk and allow it to cook for another quarter of an hour. Then lift the potatoes carefully on to a flat dish, strew over them the grated cheese and brown in front of the fire, or in the oven.

Boil half a pound of macaroni broken into small pieces till quite tender, in slightly boiling salted water, then drain and allow to cool, mix it with one tablespoonful of grated cheese and one tablespoonful of thick white sauce. Heat up, stir well and add two yolks of eggs, then spread on a plate to cool. When quite cold make into cork shapes, dip into frying batter and fry in smoking hot fat till a golden color. When well drained dish up and sprinkle with grated cheese. One tablespoonful of chopped cooked ham or meat added to the mixture makes these beignets more tasty. For the frying batter take one well beaten egg, half a cupful of milk, a pinch of salt, one tablespoonful of olive oil and one cupful of sifted flour. Mix well together till smooth and glossy. Allow to stand in a cool place for one hour, then put in the beignets one at a time. Mint Sandwiches Sandwiches of diminutive proportions which have become popular are filled with fresh mint. They are passed with the salad course, or at a buffet reception of any kind, with tea or coffee. Here is the quickest method of preparing them: Wash and dry the separate sprigs of the herb and put them through the meat chopper, using a fine knife. Add a little whipped cream and spread between thin, small oblongs of wheaten bread. Or chop the mint as above and afterward stir it into a small roll of cream cheese. The delicately tinted paste so formed is spread on slices of bread or crackers, which are afterward pressed together. To Be Done Daily Before Breakfast.

RECKONING DAY AND HOUR Workman's Thoughts Not Altogether Fixed on What Might Be Called Higher Things. Mayor William S. Jordan, at a Democritic banquet in Jacksonville, said of optimism: "Let us cultivate optimism and hopefulness. There is nothing like it. The optimistic man can see a bright side to everything—everything. "A missionary in a slum once laid his hand on a man's shoulder and said: "Friend, do you hear the solemn ticking of that clock? Tick-tack; tick, tack. And oh, my friend, do you know what day it inexorably and relentlessly brings nearer?" "Yes, pay day," the other, an honest, optimistic workingman, replied." Selfish Youth "Youth is apt to be selfish," said Mrs. Mary E. Wilkins-Freeman, the distinguished novelist, at a Matuchen picnic. "Woman in her youth," she went on, "is especially apt to be selfish. I'll never forget the story of the young man from Boston who stood in the center of Boston common in a downpour of torrential rain. "As he stood there, soaked to the skin, a little boy in a mackintosh accosted him. "Excuse me, sir,' said the boy, 'but are you the gentleman who is waiting for Miss Endicott?" "Yes,' the young man answered. "Well,' said the boy, 'she asked me to tell you she'd be here just as soon as it clears up.'" During the recent visit of Mrs. Wiggin, the American author, in London, an interviewer called on her. With pencil poised, the interviewer asked: "And what do you think of London, Mrs. Wiggin?" "You remind me," answered the author cheerfully, "of the young lady who sat beside Dr. Gibbon at dinner. She turned to him after the soup. "Do, dear Dr. Gibbon," she said, 'tell me about the decline and fall of the Roman empire.'" Right food is a basis For right living.

"The Memory Lingers" POSTUM CEREAL CO., Ltd. Battle Creek, Mich. FRUITS AND NUTS DOMESTIC PRODUCTION SUPPLY PLANTING IMPORTED VARIETY. Several Lines That Were Once Almost Wholly Brought From Abroad Are Now Largely Produced In This Country. Fruits and nuts valued at $458,000, 000 have passed through ports of the United States during the last ten years. Of this amount, $285,000, 000 represents the value of imports from foreign countries, $156,000,000 exports to foreign countries, $12,000, 000 receipts from United States during the last ten years. Of this amount, $285,000,000 represents the value of imports from foreign countries, $156,000,000 exports to foreign countries, $12,000,000 receipts from non-contiguous territories of the United States, and $5,000,000 shipments to those territories. The value of fruits and nuts imported into and exported from the country in the fiscal year which ended June 30, 1910, was in round terms $55,000,000, of which about one-third represented exports. A compilation made by the bureau of statistics of the department of commerce and labor gives the year's imports of fruits and nuts at $36,000,000 and exports at $19,000,000. A study of the commercial movements during the last decade or two develops the fact that domestic production is rapidly supplanting certain classes of fruits formerly imported in large quantities. This applies especially to raisins, prunes and oranges. Certain other lines, in which local production is still insufficient to meet home consumption, continue to increase in value of imports, notably bananas, figs, walnuts, cocoanuts and almonds. Comparing the imports of the year just ended with those of one and two decades ago, imports of fruits and nuts as a whole have increased from $21,000,000 in 1890 and $19,000,000 in 1900 to about $36,000,000 in 1910. On the export side a far more rapid growth has occurred since 1890. In that year the total value of all fruits and nuts exported from the country was but $4,000,000, in 1900 the total had increased to nearly $12,000,000, and in 1910, about $19,000,000. The principal articles contributing to this growth are apples, prunes, oranges, raisins, apricots, canned fruits and nuts. Of foreign fruits consumed in the United States, bananas supply about one-third. The imported bananas come chiefly from Costa Rica, Honduras and Panama in Central America, the British West Indies and Cuba. Italy supplies practically all the lemons imported into the country. Of course, the Xante variety, produced in Greece, supplies most of the imports. Raisins, formerly coming in at the rate of $2,000,000 per annum, chiefly from Spain and Turkey in Asia, have practically disappeared as an article of importation, and as above indicated, are now becoming an important article of export. DEPENDS ON TEST OF THE GUN Army Will Adopt Sixteen-Inch If Navy Finds It Can Use the Fourteen Sixteen-inch guns for the army will follow a successful test of 14-inch guns for the navy, according to Brig. Gen. William Crozier, chief of ordnance. The decision will hinge on the trials of the new navy rifles. "We still have an advantage over the navy," said General Crozier. "We can build guns more powerful than the toughest armor they can produce. The navy is pretty close to the limit of armor protection, and we have by no means built the most powerful guns of which we are capable. The navy is now proposing to arm its new battleships with 14-inch guns. Those rifles will be of higher power than the army 14-inch gun and consequently more powerful. If the navy adopts 14-inch guns as a permanent feature, we shall have to meet this advance in the fighting strength of warships. We shall then increase the power of our gun." It was only a short time ago that the army adopted the 14-inch rifle. One of the new type has been completed and tested. Twelve others are now in the process of construction. It seems probable that an entirely new type will be adopted even before the batch of 14-inch guns has been completed. OUR CIGARETTES IN CHINA Consul General Charles Denby Says America Has Taught the Chinese to Smoke Them. America has taught the people of the Chinese empire to smoke cigarettes. In a report to this government on foreign trade by Consul General Charles Denby of Vienna in which he described the class of foreign markets which may be created by American enterprise and then supplied, the consul general says: "One of the most conspicuous examples of such a market is the demand for the cigarette in China. Ten years ago the cigarette was an article used in China by a small number of people, chiefly foreigners. The field attracted the attention of a group of American manufacturers who examined into it and decided to introduce the cigarette to the Chinese people by American methods. The result is that now the cigarette is popular throughout the empire." NO POLO PONIES FOR CADETS Washington Officials Won't Pay Cost of the Game at West Point—Major Out $1,975. Maj. J. M. Carson, Jr., quartermaster in the United States army, would be glad to dispose of $1,795 worth of polo ponies. The ponies have been used by the West Point cadets in playing the game. Maj. Carson, who has a kind heart but is not versed in the law, paid the $1,975 for the ponies in April, 1909. Then he presented the bill in the regular way with his other accounts to the war department. The auditor or the war department squinted at the item and finally refused to reimburse the major. By this time the major was getting a little anxious and appealed to the comptroller of the currency to reverse the auditor's decision. The comptroller of the currency seems to be as hard hearted as the auditor of the war department, for he has just handed down a decision leaving the major with his batch of polo ponies on his hands and no money to reimburse him. The comptroller says that the appiration for "horses, cavalry, artillery and engineers," under which the major thought he was authorized to buy the polo ponies, is not properly chargeable with such expenditure. The comptroller adds that he does not know of any other appropriation to which the amount can be charged. The action of the comprotilled will be almost as sad a blow to the cadets as it is to Maj. Carson, for it will mean that they will have to give up polo undess they play with cavalry horses or mules. It looks as if the major would have to give up about $1,975 until he can dispose of the ponies. COTTON LEADS OUR EXPORTS Shipments of Natural Products Fall Off, While Manufactures Set New High Record. Cotton, copper, illuminating oil, wheat—these articles, in the order named, formed the most important articles exported from the United States during the fiscal year just closed. The value of the cotton exported was $450,000,000; of the copper, $83,500,000; of the illuminating oil, $62,500,000, and of the wheat. $47,000,000. Other articles of export ranked in value as follows: Flour, lard, tobacco, lumber, upper leather, corn, bituminous coal and lubricating oil. In nearly all the articles of natural production there was a marked decline in the exports of 1910, as compared with previous years, while in certain manufactures the figures for the year are larger than for any previous year, and the total for all manufacturers probably will exceed that of any earlier year. The bureau of statistics, which has given out these figures, has not yet completed the total value of the manufactures exported. The falling off is most marked in corn, wheat, flour and meats, wheat falling from $161,000,000 in 1892, the high year, to $47,000,000 in 1910; corn from $85,000,000 in 1900 to $25,500,000 in 1910: flour from $75,000,000 in 1993 to $46,500,000 in 1910; lard from $60,000,000 in 1906 to $43,000,000 in 1910; bacon from $46,000,000 in 1898 to $18,500,000 in 1910; fresh beef from $22,000,000 in 1901 to $7,750,000 in 1910, and cattle from $42,000,000 in 1904 to $12,000,000 last year. PANAMA DIRT FLYING FAST Records Broken in an Unusually Ralny Month—Government Activity Extends Also to Sanitation. Notwithstanding that the precipitation during the rainy month of June, 1910, in Panama was almost double that in the same month of 1909 and 1908, the work of excavation in the canal last June exceeded by 200,000 cubic yards the excavations in the corresponding period of the previous year. This fact was made known in a report to the war department on the progress of the canal operations. As an indication of the great strides being made in the work, the report showed that in June, 1904, the excavation amounted to 32,551 cubic yards, as compared to 1,305,141 cubic yards taken out last month. Uncle Sam's physicians and sanitation experts who are responsible for the health of the men on the Panama canal job are taking no chances of infection. They have eliminated mosquitoes and a crusade on the house fly has been started. The measures taken to exterminate the pest go so far as providing a law which requires street venders of confectionery, fruits, pastry or anything else which may draw flies to keep their wares covered with wire screens. American Trade With Territories. Trade of the United States with its non-contiguous territories for the fiscal year just ended aggregated about $190,000,000, according to statistics of the department of commerce and labor. The department contrasts this with the record of 1897, when the trade with non-contiguous territories aggregated only $35,000,000. The largest percentage of gain during the past year was in the Philippines, to which the recent tariff act extended the privilege of interchange of merchandise free of duty. Imports from the Philippines in the 11 months ending with May, 1910, were valued at $15,887,418 and exports at $15,140,445. DOINGS Direct Primary Bill in the House. Direct Primary Bill in the House The direct primary bill without the convention feature was taken up Tuesday. It is now being considered by the committee of the whole, which has considered about half of the fifty-three sections. One who took his seat in the gallery, not knowing Colorado politics, would think the house was of one mind. The famous "section four," in which the Senate inserted the "convention feature," was passed over without material amendment, and the word "convention" was not used on the floor of the house. Reading of the direct primary bill was taken up in the morning session and was finished in the afternoon. Representative Hicks said that the amendments offered by the election committee were not objectionable to him, with the exception that he would like some of them explained. He explained that the secret ballot provision contained by the bill had raised in his mind a question of constitutionality until he read a recent decision of the Wisconsin Supreme Court on that section, in which the secret ballot was upheld. The provision for it in the Hicks bill is identical with the Wisconsin section. The amendments were then offered and adopted. The most important ones are: That each candidate for office must have a separate petition; that members of the General Assembly are exempted from the provision requiring national, state or district officers of districts larger than counties to have petitions ranging from 300 to 500 words (they come under the clause requiring petitions ranging from 50 to 150 names). Working on the Railroad Bill. Working on the Railroad Bill. As soon as the house bill had been reported to the Senate and referred to the committee on constitutional amendments Tuesday, the Democrats secured an adjournment and the subcommittee of the caucus met to frame a railroad bill. The railroad bill seeks to make the present law constitutional and to fix the salaries of the commissioners who will succeed the present commissioners at $4,000. A provision requires the railroads to move live stock and perishable goods at the rate of at least ten miles an hour from point of original point of destination. The commission will not give any power to fix rates, but will have the right to adjust discriminatory rates, subject to review by the courts. Attorney General Barnett was called into the meeting and asked his opinion as to the constitutionality of the provision, and the attorney general finally declared that the provision must be changed to stand the test. He ruled that too many judicial powers had been given to the commission. The measure, besides placing a ban on rebates and all discriminations in the interest of favored shippers, forbids the railway to discriminate between localities. Referendum Bill Passes the House. With only two Democrats voting against it the initiative and referendum, like the Oregon law, was passed on third reading Tuesday and went to the Senate Wednesday with an emergency clause. The vote on third reading of the initiative and referendum was 51 ayes and eleven noes. The emergency clause brought the "noes" two votes, but they were changed before the vote was counted, making the vote upon this the same as that on the bill. Those who voted against the bill were Republicans with the exception of Speaker Lubers and Representative Hilts of Denver. The Republicans voting "no" were: Amador, Baldwin, Boyle, Gardner, Hayden, Packard, Parrish, Teller and Trindle. Those absent and not voting were Garcia and Wilder. Notes. The resolution introduced by Representative Greenman indorsing the income tax plank of the late Democratic platform was adopted. The resolution introduced by Representative Hicks, memorializing the national Congress upon the Colorado soldiers of the Civil war, was passed. Representative Greenman's resolution indorsing the income tax plank of the national Democratic platform also was adopted. The Senate adopted Tuesday two resolutions introduced by Senator Barela. One calls for a report from the stae auditing committee with reference to the findings made in the audit of the Western Federation of Miners' claims for damages done to their stores at Cripple Creek during the labor troubles. The other requests the attorney general to make a report to the Senate telling in detail what has been done with the $20,000 appropriated by the regular session to investigate the rights of the state and the government as to public lands. Among the bills presented to the senate was that of Senator McCue for a railway commission, being the same bill that failed of adoption during the last moments of the regular session. It created some stir then, as members from the sections where fruit is grown declared that it gave the shippers there no promise of protection. Most of the fruits being of a most perishable nature, they must be marketed at the right time. If cars are not at hand at the psychological moment, the shipments are likely to be greatly damaged.

Every letter of this sort has the most careful consideration and is regarded as sacredly confidential. Many sensitively modest women write fully to Dr. Pierce what they have telling to their local physician. The local physician tells that he cannot do anything without "an examination." Dr. Pierce holds that these distasteful examinations are generally needless, and that no woman, except in rare cases, these unstaffed examiners, and that no woman, except in rare cases, should submit to them. Dr. Pierce's treatment will cure you right in the privacy of your own home. His "Favorite Prescription" has cured hundreds of thousands, some of them the worst of cases. It is the only medicine of its kind that is the product of a regularly graduated physician. The only one good enough that its makers dare to print its every ingredient on its outside wrapper.

(Incorporated) MITCHELL'S EYE SALVE 25¢ INFECTION IN THE PRISON Peculiarly Favorable Field There for the Spread of the Scourge of Tuberculosis. Only twenty-one prisons in fifteen states and territories have provided special places for the treatment of their tuberculosis prisoners. These institutions can accommodate, however, only 800 patients. In three-fourths of the major prisons and in practically all the jails of the country the tuberculous prisoner is allowed freely to infect his fellow prisoners, very few restrictions being placed upon his habits. When the congregate mode of prison life is considered, the danger of infection becomes greater than in the general population. New York and Massachusetts are the only states where any systematic attempt has been made to transfer all tuberculous prisoners to one central institution. The largest prison tuberculosis hospital is in Manila, where accommodations for 200 prisoners are provided. The next largest is Clinton prison hospital in New York, which provides for 150.

The proud father hailed the first man who came along the road and asked him in to see them. The man, who was an Irishman, seemed greatly interested in the infants as he looked them over, lying in a row before him. "What does yo' think?" asked the parent.

The most famous wolf in the west, "One Toe," by name, was laid low the other day by a ranchman at Upton, Wyo., who shot the animal, which has been hunted by stock growers in that part of the state for years. "One Toe," so named from the fact that his trail showed him to have but one toe on his right forepaw, has been the despair of stock growers for many years, raiding their herds and being held responsible for losses that aggregate thousands of dollars.

The American people undoubtedly are entitled to a great many rights, and if the truth were known it would show these rights to be worth having. But the trouble with these rights is that they are never around when they are needed. They are either in cold storage or in safe-deposit boxes or in litigation or in some ward-heeler's vest pocket. Inaccessible rights are worse than no rights at all.—Life. Watches Cash or Credit The Poor King Never Die. Rights. In Embroidery ```markdown ``` A One of the favorite models for the summer gown is the smart linen affair braided or embroidered in white or a color. Usually the linens of a delicate shade have white braiding, and the effect is delightfully cool and summery. White linens, in accordance with the latest fancy, are done in a colored braid, and one of the most striking combinations is white with dark blue braiding, giving something of the Bulgarian peasant effect—and, of course, anything along the peasant costume lines is the ultra chic note this season. These little braided frocks are ideal for the home dressmaker, as the cut of the gown itself is the simplest thing possible—the irregularity of the design demanding a very plain background to make a harmonious whole. Therefore, any woman clever enough to make her own simple frocks can have a really charming creation by adding a little handwork. The gown sketched is a French model whose lines are especially graceful and becoming. The original gown was of rose color linen, braided in the finest white cotton braid, with a dainty white frill at the neck and sleeves, and the hallmark of a Paris gown—that chic touch of black—at the neck. Tiny gold buttons finish the blouse at either side of the clus- WATCH FOB EASY TO MAKE Remnants of Irish or Cluny Insertion Can Be Utilized for Its Construction. The girl who is deft should make herself one of the new watch fobs of heavy lace that are dainty to wear with lingerie frocks. Remnants of Irish or Cluny insertion can be utilized. The strips of insertion are folded over the gold, gilt or brass catch for watch and the end is pointed and finished in a white silk tassel, or if you have a military friend with one of gold strands such as are worn on swords. Thin lace fobs are lined with white or colored ribbon. A small oval buckle is possessed by many girls from hat trimmings, or they can be bought very cheaply in gilt or colored enamels to match belt and stockings. Imit Embroidery. Sounds like "kismet," but it isn't fate—simply reaction. Ismit embroidery, rapidly becoming very popular indeed for summer fancy work, is nothing more or less than the other side of the once fashionable shadow stitch. In other words, in working on sheer materials, make your shadow embroidery inside out, and behold the ismit stitch seemingly straight from the orient. Evelet Embroidery. Centerpieces, waists, skirts, etc., None in eyelet embroidery often look drawn and pinched after washing. To cure this, punch the eyelets through with your embroidery stiletto after every laundering. The effect will be as good as new. KIL ter of tucks on the front of the corsage, and are put on with fasteners so as to be easily removed for laundering. The same design might be carried out in any colored fabrics and braid, to suit the fancy. Of course the most becoming shade should be selected. The design in the upper left hand corner is for the shoulder pieces, which may be braided and then put on the gown. The smallest of the three dots in the centre of the cut are for the edge of these straps, and are to be embroidered in mercerized cotton thread to match the braid. The same dot is used for the band on the edge of the sleeve, while the sleeve is trimmed with a row of the middle-sized dot, and this latter size is also used on the belt. The largest dot is for the skirt. The small design is for the belt, one motif being placed on each side of the front, close together. The large design is for the skirt, placed as indicated in the sketch. Transfer the design to the linen by means of carbon paper. The design is applied after the gown is carefully fitted and all seams and hems finished. It does not take so long to braid a gown of this sort as one might at first imagine, and the result is well worth the effort. IN BLACK AND WHITE - Black and white is always fashionable and always smart, and the model today shows a large black hat, with wide brim, slightly rolled at the right side. The simple but elegant ornamentation is three white ostrich plumes. Lace Over Gold. An original idea is the sewing or crocheting of fine lace very tightly over large gold collar pins of plain pattern. The suggestion may be extended to all sorts of flat gold or silver jewelry, such as belt buckles, hat pins, etc. It would be very pretty, too, in an open pattern over the popular hand-painted china pins. An inexpensive set of pins may by this method be turned into very valuable and beautiful things. Cypress green, pewter graw and a delicate fawn shade are soft tints that are popular. A. B. CURTIS M.
