THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY UNPUNISHED CRIMES In the United States. Paper read before State Bar Association of Wisconsin by George C. Hoyt, United States District Judge of New York. VOL. XVI. UNPUNI In the United States. Paper in tion of Wisconsin by O States District Jud (The following article was originally read as a paper before the State Bar Association of Wisconsin on June 29, 1910, at Milwaukee. The author is a United States District Judge of New York.) It is an axiom in history that the greatest danger in democratic forms of government is the tendency to mob violence and public disorder. This republic has now been in existence nearly a century and a quarter. Its founders were men of exceptional political wisdom. The constitution which they framed has been justly praised as one of the greatest productions of the human intellect. The republic under this constitution, during its existence, has grown from a little to a great nation. It may justly claim to have produced great results in most of the arts of civilization, but it has not yet succeeded in establishing a steady and uniform maintenance $ o^{e} $ public order. The tendency to mob violence and the extent of unpunished crime which exist in this country is today the greatest menace to American society. I purpose to consider briefly the extent of the evil, and to suggest what seem to me the best remedies for it. The habit of reading a modern daily newspaper, which is now substantially universal in this country, but which has never before this age existed in any community, and the full effect of which upon the mind of the people, for good and for evil, is not yet certainly known, has one result which is apparent. That is that it concentrates the attention of the public almost wholly upon the events of today, and withdraws its attention speedily from the events of yesterday. The result is that most great crimes, which attract widespread attention when they are first discovered and described in the press, are substantially forgotten within a short time after the newspapers cease to discuss them. The public attention being concentrated on the events of the day, the enormous aggregate of the amount of modern crime passes unnoticed. It is impossible to obtain accurate statistics of unpunished crime in this country. But rough computations may be made which will serve to illustrate the extent of it. The Chicago Tribune, for some years past, has published statistics of the lynchings which have occurred annually in this country. For many years, according to these statistics, there occurred between 200 and 300 lynchings in each year. During the five or six years past, the annual number has steadily diminished. Last year it was stated to be 67. It will be a conservative estimate to put the average number of lynchings which have occurred in this country in the last forty years at 150 annually. This would make 6,000 lynchings occurring in that time. The number of persons who engage in lynchings differs very greatly in dif- } --- ferent cases, varying from as low as ten or fifteen to hundreds and thousands of persons. It may be roughly estimated that the average number of persons concerned in each case is not less than 50. It would thus appear that about 300,000 persons have taken part in lynchings in this country for the last forty years. If two-thirds of this number is deducted for persons who are dead or who have been engaged in more than one lynching, we have 100,000 lynchers still living. Every person wilfully taking an active part in a lynching is guilty of murder. No person has ever been convicted of murder for taking part in a lynching. It may therefore be roughly estimated that there are approximately 100,000 unhung murderers, of that particular type, living at present in this country, mostly in the Southern states. Now, in looking for a remedy for this vast evil of the lawlessness accompanying lynchings and strikes and all forms of mob violence, I think we should start by admitting as a practical fact that the attempt to punish serious crimes committed by mobs has been a failure. Why should not the policy be adopted of inflicting a comparatively light punishment at the outset upon those who enter into these lawless proceedings, before they have actually committed any serious crime? Rioting is a crime at common law, and is made a crime by the statutes of most of the states. Criminal punishments, in order to be effective, need not be severe, except in the case of habitual criminals. Most participants in mobs are not habitual criminals. They are usually excitable men, suddenly swept away by indignation. In the case of such persons, a reasonable degree of criminal punishment, promptly inflicted, is more effective than extreme severity in occasional cases. If, at the outset of an attempt at lynching or of a strikers' mob, half a dozen or a dozen men were arrested for rioting, were tried the next day, and were sent to the penitentiary for a month or a fortnight, or even for a week, rioting would stop. Most men would hesitate to have anything to do with these excited crowds, in which usually the participants find themselves involved without having originally intended any serious violence, but who are hurried on by the contagion of the enthusiasm of the others to crimes which they never would have thought of committing by themselves. The folly of the police and other officers charged with the maintenance of peace and order in permitting mobs to collect and grow is incomprehensible. In almost every case of a lynching or of a strikers' mob, sheriffs and police and everybody in the community are aware of the danger for hours before the mob acts, yet no policeman or sheriff ever seems to imagine that he is under any obligation to step in in season and nip the DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 3 1910. disorder in the bud. This strange apparent want of appreciation of what ought to be the first duty of a police officer is exhibited in many ways. The real responsibility, however, for the suppression of crime should not be put upon the inferior officers actually charged with the making of arrests, but upon those at the head of the police force. The action of the ordinary policeman is governed by the attitude of his superiors. If properly instructed, policemen will be prompt to arrest rioters and turbulent strikers at the outset of any manifestation of lawless action. The chiefs of police should give such instructions. If instead of doing so they assume a general attitude of timid acquiescence and neglect to interfere in rioting, simply pursuing the policy of trying to protect persons threatened by rioters, instead of punishing the rioters themselves, they should be held accountable by their superiors. Under most systems of the organization of municipal police in this country, the chief of police is appointed by the mayor and may be removed by him. The mayor, in some instances, may be removed by the governor, and in substantially all instances is subject either to such removal or to indictment for neglect of duty. The governor, as the supreme representative of the executive authority in the state, has an active responsibility in all such cases, and should be held to such responsibility by public opinion. He should make it known that police officers, sheriffs or mayors who permit lynchers to gather and mobs to collect and grow, without interference, will be removed and prosecuted for violation of their duty. A few instances of such removals and prosecutions would put an end to the present toleration of the police for mob disorder. But no action by the police will amount to anything without the efficient co-operation of police magistrates. Many judges of the police courts in American cities are excellent magistrates, but in many cities there are some who are low politicians, whose appointment is a disgrace, and whose administration of their office is a direct encouragement to the criminal class. Such police magistrates are particularly apt to sympathize with every form of mob violence, and to refrain from taking any action to restrain it or to punish it. The truth is that, in a certain sense, the most important judicial officers in this country are the police magistrates, and one of the worst acts that the mayor of a city can commit is to appoint to such a position a person who is known to him to be grossly unfit to fill it. Instances are not uncommon in our great cities of the appointment of ward politicians of the lowest character, saloonkeepers, gambling-house proprietors, men whose sympathies are with that great class in every city which has business interests connected with vicious institutions. Police magistrates, more than any other judges, represent to the ordinary people of our cities the administration of justice. They can do more by firm and upright conduct to preserve public order and to instill into the mind of the community respect for law than any other class of magistrates, and they can do more to degrade the administration of justice and to foster tendencies to public disorder and lawlessness than any other class of magistrates. A mayor who selects to be a magistrate in a police court a man whom he knows to be grossly unfit for the position ought to be removed from office by the governor, and when such a magistrate is put in office by any means he should be proceeded against, removed from office and punished, if possible, as soon as he has committed any of the illegal and corrupt acts which it is probable that he will commit as soon as he has an opportunity. Albuquerque News Mr. Frisby Hayden, a barber from Denver is a new arrival in the city. Rev. F. H. Wilkins, pastor of Mt. Olive Baptist church left last Monday for a two months vacation in Austin, Texas. Miss Maggie Walker, of Waco, Texas is the guest of her aunt Mrs. C. Thompson. Mr. Frank Murray left for a few weeks stay at his old home in Boston, Mass. J. W. Davis and wife left last week for Denver, Colo., where they expect to reside permanently The A. M. E. church and Sunday School held its annual picnic at Ideal grove, on the Silva ranch. Good things to eat was prepared by their superintendent, Mrs. L. S. Black, who managed the occasion for the little folks. The members of the A. M. E. church and Mt. Olive Baptist church gave a grand party in honor of Miss Mamie Houston, an intelligent school teacher, who recently came to our city. Mr. J. C. Spikes formerly of Pittsburg, Pa., a Negro music writer and composer of considerable note has just completed a Constitutional Convention march, which is to commemorate the stepping of New Mexico into the Union. Mrs. C. P. Thompson gave a swell reception at her residence last Thursday from two to four, in honor of her niece, Miss Maggie Walker, recently of Waco, Texas. The house was beautifully decorated with roses, lillies and potted flowers. The ladies who called were handsomely gowned in the latest fashion. The Republicans in convention called, nominated the best candidates in this county for the constitutional convention to be voted upon the 6th of Sept. Ye correspondent knows that every candidate on the Republican ticket is a friend to justice and right. They should receive the solid vote of every Negro in the county. If the Republican ticket is victorious, the Negroes interest as a citizen in New Mexico will be forever protected. Do your duty and vote the straight Republican ticket on the 6th of Sept. RACE NEWS Baltimore, Md., Aug. 17.—By the will of Edward J. W. Eaten, a colored caterer, who died here recently, $15,000 is left to found an industrial school in Prince George County, Md. His farm of 500 acres in that country is to be the seat of the proposed school, which is to be named after him. He was a widower and left no children. opinion of their ability to do things which men do. They used to be one people, but now men and women have become two peoples again, as it was in the beginning, and half of the time it is difficult to determine which of them is the man. Spokane, Wash., Aug. 23.—The Negro soldiers of the Twenty-fifth regiment who have done heroic service and saved many lives and much property in the vicinity of Wallace, are now resting having been engaged in continuous battle with the flames from 4 o'clock Sunday morning until today. Forest Ranger Pulaski reports to Supervisor Weill that six of his men are dead, five having been smothered in the War Eagle Tunnel, where the entire crew took refuge. In spite of the Negro death rate however, the Negro insurance companies have developed almost by leaps and bounds. In 1909, $114, 137.58 was paid to beneficiaries by Negro insurance companies of North Carolina, said G. W. Powell, of Durham, N. C. "My company," declared C. C. Spaulding of the same city, "collected about eleven years ago $800. Last year we collected more than $20,000. --- The removal of J. C. Napier, a prominent Nasnville Negro lawyer and banker from membership on the Tennessee Republican Executive Committee and the substitution of a white man in his stead reduces the complexion of that body to the unadulterated pure "lily white." Perhaps this action may not serve to influence any Negro votes to the support of the Patterson straight Democratic ticket in November. Why do not the colored business women have a business league of their own, and make Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, of the St. Luke's Bank and Herald, at Richmond, president? At the men's league meeting, in New York, last week, the women were given a session Wednesday afternoon, after the dear men got through. Everybody left them and the hall together. The big women were loud in condemnation of the way the men treated them in this matter. Except for social purposes, most men care nothing for women and have small NO.51 opinion of their ability to do things which men do. They used to be one people, but new men and women have become two peoples again, as it was in the beginning, and half of the time it is difficult to determine which of them is the man. Raleigh, N. C. Aug.—At the thirty eight annual session of the State Baptist Sunday School convention and the Baptist Young People Union Convention of North Carolina, held jointly in this city August 8 12, one of the speakers told of how Miss Nannie A. Foulks, a servant in the home of W. W. Fuller, chief counsellor of the American Tobacco Company, recently gave her savings of a lifetime toward the establishment of a reformatory for incorrigibe Negro youths in North Carolina. Miss Foulks managed to save $1,000 while in the employ of the Fuller family household and when the movement was launched to establish a home for wayward Negro boys she promptly donated every cent of the money she had been saving for years. NEGROES BANK ACCOUNT IS NOW THIRTY MILLIONS. It is estimated by a writer in the Banker and Investor Magazine that the Negroes of the United States have not less than $30,000,000 on deposit in the United States. In one bank in Washington, D. C. alone, they have more than $500,-000. Thirty millions is not an extraordinary sum in itself, but it is taken with the fact that it was less than fifty years ago when the Negroes of the United States did not even own their bodies, and in most sections of the country, they dared not even call their souls their own. From abject alavery, from the slave pen and the auction block to owners of homes worth millions of dollars and with bank accounts estimated at thirty millions, all of that done by a people who were turned out upon the world densely ignorant and without a place to lay their heads, is an accomplishment that can be boasted of by no race except the black race. It is a sign of growth and development that speaks wonders for the race and is only an index of what can be accomplished by a people who will but cultivate the habit of saving.

CAUGHT FROM THE NETWORK OF WIRES ROUND ABOUT THE WORLD. DURING THE PAST WEEK RECORD OF IMPORTANT EVENTS CONDENSED FOR BUSY WESTERN Foreman John Williams and three daughters were asphyxiated in the tunnel of a mine at Hollister, Calif., Monday. Burglars during Sunday robbed practically every office in four of the biggest office buildings in El Paso, Tex., and secured several thousand dollars' worth of money and valuables. Two forest fires of threatening proportions broke out Monday in the Black hills national forest and fanned by a strong wind are raging eastward through some of the best timber sections. Seattle, Wash.—Rain came to the aid of the tired fire fighters of Washington Saturday night and if the showers continue, danger from the forest fires that have been raging in western Washington is passed. Belmore Browne of Tacoma and four other members of the Barker Browne Mount McKinley expedition have returned to Seattle. Browne said that the party reached an altitude of 10,000 feet, where they found their progress blocked by an enormous wall of ice. William Saul, a former soldier in the Boer army, a sion of Irish nobility and a soldier of fortune, is in jail in Butte, Mont., charged with embezzlement of $8,000 from the Butte Carriage Company. Saul admitted a shortage of $3,000. He wasted the firm's money by speculating on the stock market. The "gas bag" of the Co-operative United Exchange of Chicago, a $20,000,000 "get-rich-quick" corporation, organized last April under the laws of Arizona, was punctured Tuesday with the arrest of William H. Holcomb, vice presedint and general counsel, charged with using the mails for fraudulent purposes. WASHINGTON. J. H. Miner of Phillipstown, Mass., assistant engineer in charge of work on the Gunnison tunnel, Uncompahgre valley irrigation project, Colorado, has been appointed head engineer of the Grand valley project in that state, to succeed E. E. Sands, who recently resigned. POLITICAL. Idaho held her first direct promary election Tuesday. Governor Deneen has opened the campaign against return to legislative power of the bi-partisan combine which dominated the last General Assembly. Indications continue to multiply that President Taft's participation in the New York state fight is ended for good. The President is not a resident of New York and does not feel it to be the province of the President to interfere in local politics. James R. Garfield, secretary of the interior under Roosevelt, has left his Mentor, Ohio, home, 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. As being chiefly valuable for agricultural purposes, President Taft, since the beginning of his administration, has practically eliminated from the national forests 3,059,237 acres of land and has restored as being more favorable for forestry than for agricultural purposes 1,324,213 acres. This represents a loss to the forests of 1,735,024 acres. President Taft in a communication to the Republican congressional committee says that differences between Republicans should be forgotten in the congressional election, and that "Republicans who believe in the party principles as declared in its national platform of 1908 should give the candidates loyal and effective support. If this is done there will be no doubt of a return of a Republican majority." Lloyd C. Griscom, chairman of the New York county committee, was in conference during the better part of Wednesday with several state leaders, and issued a statement to the effect that they would not only present Mr. Roosevelt's name for temporary chairman of the convention, but do their utmost to have a direct nomination plank inserted in the platform—a defi to the Old Guard leaders. The insurgent faction of the Republican party of Kansas, in complete control of the state party council, Wednesday adopted a platform decidedly progressive. The political attention of the country gradually is being focused on New England, where, early in September, the first measuring of strength between the Republican and Democratic parties in the state elections of 1910 is to take place. Vermont on Sept. 6 and Maine on Sept. 12 will select state officers and Congressmen. WESTERN LEAGUE. Abel Klivat of the Irish-American A. C., ran the fastest mile ever traveled by a runner on the Celtic Park track, New York, Saturday at the games of the New York County Ancient Order of Hibernians. The young athlete covered the mile in 4:20 2-5. With outside cracks and the pick of the Colorado talent entered, the tennis tournament for the state championship which opened Monday at the Denver Country club and bids fair to eclipse all previous events in point of excellence of play. At a bicycle riders' benefit meeting at Salt Lake City Sunday E. A. Pye of Australia rode three miles, unpaced, in 6:09 1-5, breaking W. E. Samuelson's record of 6:18; Ray F. Duer of Los Angeles rode two-thirds of a mile against time, motor-paced, in 55 seconds, breaking the world's record of 58 3-5 seconds, held by W. W. Hamilton; S. H. Wilcox of Salt Lake City rode a quarter-mile, motor paced, trial in 19 seconds. FOREIGN. Paul Mantegazza, the famous anthropologist of Italy, is dead. He was born in 1831. In a flight in a monoplane at Havre Leon Morane, a Frenchman, ascended to a height of 6,692 feet. This, it is claimed, constitutes a world's record, as the flight of J. Armstrong Drexel, the American aviator, of 6,752 feet, has never been officially ratified. This week the Grand Trunk Pacific railway will celebrate the fifth anniversary of the beginning of its construction by opening the government section between Winnipeg and Superior Junction, 280 miles. The great project of a national railway was started in September, 1905, when Sir Wilfrid Laurier turned the first sod at Fort William. Though adverse weather and mechanical troubles still held John B. Moissant at Kemsing, twenty-seven miles from London, the Chicago aviator believes his experiences in the Paris to London flight are likely to aid in writing aeroplane history later on. He told of a new aeroplane he has invented. He says it is made entirely of aluminum and that no wires are used in the framework, thus giving greater stability. The body gives the effect of a bird. GENERAL Mayor Gaynor has left St. Mary's Hospital in Hoboken and is now at Deep Wells, his country place at St. James, L. I. Eight men attempted to rob the Iowa Central passenger southbound from Minneapolis, near Northwood, Friday night. Members of the train crew captured five of the eight men. In New York, Frank Alger, Jr., 18 years old, son of a hotel, proprietor in Ridgewood, rushed into the room where his family was at dinner and shot his father twice, inflicting wounds that probably will prove fatal. Levi Sherwood has just resigned his position with the Erie railroad at Monsey, N. Y., after fifty-four years of service. Mr. Sherwood and his wife are each 93 years old and expect to celebrate their seventy-first wedding anniversary next New Year's day. Railroad circles are stirred by a rumor that the Northern Pacific railroad had purchased the Chicago Great Western, and that the formal transfer would be made Sept. 1. The Northern Pacific thus will have its own line into Chicago. While attempting to fly his aeroplane from Sheepshead bay track to Fort Hamilton this morning, Mars, the aviator, was caught in a heavy blast of wind and carried out over the lower bay where his machine suddenly collapsed and fell into the water. Mars was picked up by the tug boat Hustler. W. E. Davy of Des Moines, Ia., was elected president of the Associated Fraternities of America at Atlantic City. A. B. Talbot of Nebraska, president of the Modern Woodmen of America, was made vice president; C. H. Robinson of Chicago was re-elected secretary-treasurer and E. W. Donovan of Detroit and W. A. Fraser of Dallas, Tex., were elected to the executive committee. That a battalion of aeroplane sharpshooters will take the place of cavalry in the army of the future, is the conviction of Lieut. Joseph Fichel, U. S. A., who has been assigned by the war department to conduct a series of aeroplane experiments with Glenn H. Curtiss at Sheepshead Bay. A mile away and 500 feet up, Aviator McCurdy sent the following wireless message: "Another chapter in aerial achievement is recorded in the sending of a wireless message from ar aeroplane.—McCurdy."

Midshipman Smith, who was stricken with typhoid fever on the Indiana at Plymouth, England, contracted the disease, it is said, from smoking a briar used nearly a year ago by his roommate at Annapolis who had a bad case of typhoid. This theory is taken as proof that concentrated nicotine cannot destroy a typhoid germ. The medical department of the navy will examine into the theory with the result that midshipmen of the future may confine themselves to their own planes.

Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 1.—Col. Theodore Roosevelt spent the afternoon and evening here today as the guest of the Commercial club. After a luncheon at which his fellow guests were Governors Hancey and Stubbs, Gen. Fred Funston and the senators from Missouri and Kansas, he made a characteristic speech in which he said nice things about Senator Bristow and things not nice about dishonest corporations and individuals. What Mr. Roosevelt Said. Mr. Roosevelt's train arrived just after noon and he was escorted by the reception committee and the Thirteenth regiment to the Hotel Baltimore, where the uncleon was served. In his address Col. Roosevelt said: There are certain matters which should never be treated as party matters; and foremost among these is the great and vital virtue of honesty. Honesty should be treated as a prime necessity to our success as a nation. The minute that a question of honesty as against dishonesty is involved, then we must all act together as Americans, without the slightest regard to party affiliations. Honesty is not a party matter, and the first man in the first of party should be the honest man of that party. When in office, I always proceeded upon the theory that there would be no need of my opponents raising the cry of "Turn the rascals out," because I would turn them out myself just as soon as, by vigilant and intelligent industry, I could discover them. The present Senator Bristow, for instance, was the Postmaster. He informed me which convinced me that there was extensive rascality being practiced in the department. This information came to me through the then First Assistant Postmaster-General, Wynne—an admirable man whose honesty I knew to be beyond proof. The active work of the investigation was done by another post-office official in whose honesty, courage, and enquiry I received. The present Senator Bristow. When he got through I knew that all the rascals whose rascality could be detected were out of office and that all of them that had committed acts which we could proceed against criminal were indicted or imprisoned. As we dealt with the crooked public official, so we dealt with the crooked private citizen; with the rich swindler and the rich narkeeper, with the herdslief or homicide in Indian Territory. We never attacked a man because he was a man of one political faith or another, because he did or did not possess wealth; and we never shielded him because he was poor or rich, because he belonged to any particular church or to any particular party. But I also wish you especially to remember that he was a shield him and stand up for him once we were convinced that he was improperly attacked. There is no greater foe of honesty than the man who, for any reason, in any capacity, attacks, or seeks to attack, an honest man for a crime which he has not committed. Falsely accusing an honest man of dishonesty is an act of infamy stand on the behalf of the dishonest man himself; and it is no higher duty to attack the dishonest man than it is to exonerate the honest man falsely accused; and I should be ashamed to hesitate the fraction of a second longer in one case than in the other. Honesty Is Not Unilateral. Remember that honesty cannot be unilateral. Good citizens should cordially distrust the man who can never see dishonesty excepting in men of the class he dislikes. The reckless agitator who invariably singles out men of wealth as furnishing the only examples of dishonesty; and the equally unscrupulous—but no more unscrupulous—reactionary who can see dishonesty only by blackmailing politician or worked labor leader; both stand on the same plane of obnoxiousness. You will never get honesty from politicians until you exact honesty from business men; on the other hand, you brand yourselves as fools or as hypocrites if you say that the corporation owner, or the employer, is always the dishonest man and the poor man never, that is, on one hand, man who corrupts the politician and never the politician who blackmails the corporation. Any man in his senses knows that there are plenty of corporations in this country who prosper by bribing legislatures just as they prosper by swindling the public; and any man in his senses ought to know, in addition, that there are plenty of corrupt men of small means who in legislative or other bodies try to block or oppose a treaty to blackmail other people. If they doubt this, let them look at the revelations of corruption in my own state—New York—and in yours, my hearers—here in Missouri; let them look at what has occurred in California and what has occurred in Illinois. In Illinois, for instance, one of the rascalities developed by the recent investigation was existence of a blackmailed legislature blackmailed fishermen along a certain river, forcing them to pay to prevent legislation which would have interfered with their business. No Distinction of Class. Now, scoundrels who do these kinds of things are, of course, the very men who, on the one hand, will blackmail a corporation, if they get a chance, and, on the other hand, will cheerfully, if the chance occurs, sell themselves to that corporation against the interests of the public. Their corruption is no more due to the action of the corporations than the corruption of the corporations is due to their action; and evil, and not good, is done by the honest but misguided man who would persuade you that either fact is true. Our duty is to war with equal esteem against the corrupt man of great wealth and the small man who makes trade of corruption; our fight is against both the swindling corporation and the blackmailing or bribe-taking politician. We cannot afford to limit a campaign against corruption to those who happen to have a certain social status. We need laws which shall put the corporation out of business, so far as concerns corrupting the servants of the public and betraying the rights of the public. I believe that the great issue now before the people is the doing away with special privilege in all its forms; doing away with the power of the big corporation to control legislation in its interests and to interfere in politics in order to secure privileges to which it is not entitled. But I regard the reason factor in this campaign being an aroused desire in which will actively condemn dishonesty in every form, and in every man, high or low. The reckless, would-be reformer, who, in speaking or writing, seeks to persuade us that we need pay heed to corruption only when it shows itself in the rich man, is doing as great a moral wrong as the rich man who low moral standard tends to impose the moral standard of the whole community of this country will get justice from the corporations only if they both do justice to them and rigidly exact it from them. Unless they do justice to rich men, they put a premium upon injustice and dishonesty among rich men. Let us hold them to the strictest accountability for any wrong-doing; but let us sist upon honesty in our own ranks, no less than theirs in our war on crooks and theirs in our war on crooks in small means as well as the man of large means. Let us judge each man by his conduct, and not by his social or financial condition. KING IN QUEST OF A BRIDE Portugal's Youthful Ruler Has Searched in Vain for Suitable Wife to Share Throne. Young King Manuel of Portugal is looking for a suitable bride, but none of the marriageable princesses of Europe seems to be over-anxious to share his somewhat unstable throne. His failure to secure a wife during his recent tour is a source of great disappointment not only to Manuel himself but to his advisers. Manuel is not wealthy as monarchs go. His civil list is just $1,000 a day, and it was hoped he would be able to make a match with a popular princess possessing large means in her own right. The father of one princess was strongly opposed to the alliance, not that he disliked the young Portuguese king, but because of the unsettled state of the country. Since the assassination of the late King Carlos and his eldest son, the condition of Portugal has not improved, and there are fears that before very long serious trouble will break out. A well-known Portuguese politician, in a letter to a prominent Englishman, says that the people are intensely dissatisfied with the existing regime and the growing influence of the old clericalism at court, and if reforms are not quickly initiated and the members of the old camarilla dismissed a revolution may break out at any moment. There is, of course, the alternative of Manuel's abdication and the succession of his uncle, the Infante Alfonso, duke of Oporto, a man of forty-five. REFUSED TO BUY TELEGRAPH Morse Patent Offered to the Government for $100,000—Now Capitalized at $220,000,000. Sixty-five years ago, on April 1, Professor Morse, accompanied by his associates, stood before congress and offered to sell the patents on the electric telegraph for $100,000. After a long and bitter debate congress appropriated $30,000 for the construction of a line between Washington and Baltimore in order that the merits of the invention might be fully tested, says Electric News. It is recorded that President Polk thought the invention a good thing for the government to own, but the postmaster general, in a long report, gave as his opinion that the revenues could never be made to cover the expenditures in the telegraphing of messages. Today, in this country alone, the Morse systems are capitalized at $220,000,000. But this little anecdote is seldom told by the officials of the Western Union Telegraph company, for it is a matter of history that Prof. Alexander Graham Bell offered to sell his telephone patents to the telegraph company for the paltry sum of $30,000, but the officials of that company smiled and declared the invention a toy, with no commercial value. Today there are more than five million telephones in use in this country, earning $150,000,000 annually. Foreign Students in France. From returns recently made to the French ministry of public instruction, it appears that there are over five thousand foreign students enrolled in the albums of the national universities. All told there are 41,044 students enrolled, so of one hundred students eighty-seven are French and thirteen foreigners. Of the foreigners, 1,797 are women and 3,444 men. There are only 2,033 French women students; Russia sends 2,556 students; Bulgaria, 254; Roumania, 330; Turkey, 232; Germany, 314; Egypt, 267; England, 177; Austria-Hungary, 132; United States, 232. Nearly all the English contingent is studying letters. Most of the foreign students go to Paris—London Globe.

Victiro of Circumstances. While a man was walking under the trees in a park at Chichester (England) he was attacked by an owl. It was found that an owlet had fallen out of a nest in one of the trees, but it seemed hopeless to try to explain to the parent bird that the unfortunate man had nothing to do with the accident. ILSON MORROW MATTHEWS asks if men are doomed to become as extinct as the Indian race, owing to the aggressiveness of womankind. We may in time become extinct, but before that we shall be reduced to the position of hewers of wood and drawers of water. It has been so long since a man won a prize in anything, from solving a picture puzzle to writing an abstract thesis, that I doubt if men could have the heart to contest any more. Cold statistics inform us that of the 303 occupations in this country women have placed upon it, these nine are so nothing nowadays they can women, thirty-one brakemen 508 machinists. I blame it all on the bloomer suit. I am surprised as their emblem, for it is to beyond all doubt that woman forgotten in her centuries of her lungs and we began to danger, we stood idly by. this country women have pre-empted a place in all but nine. Depend upon it, these nine are so many things they don't want to do—there's nothing nowadays they can't do! There are five pilots, ten baggage-women, thirty-one brakemen, forty-three carriage and hack drivers and 508 machinists. I blame it all on the bicycle and its attendant costume—the famous bloomer suit. I am surprised that women have not adopted the bicycle as their emblem, for it is the emancipator of the sex. It demonstrated beyond all doubt that woman is a biped, a fact that she herself had almost forgotten in her centuries of wearing skirts. The exercise strengthened her lungs and we began to hear her voice in the land. Unaware of any danger, we stood idly by. What's to be done about it? Working with us in office, factory, mill and aeroplanes, they know all our tricks and manners. We can't, as in days of old, prate of superiority when we can't show any medal for it. And when I size up the crowd going to work in the morning and note the athletic build of the young women, I feel that when we are reduced to hewing wood and drawing water they'll set the pace even then. PETER H. Awful Fate of Wild Pigeons By G. E. HURLEY coldest weather he had ever experienced. The next morning Lakes Huron, Ontario and Superior—the lakes on which he was sailing—were covered with dead pigeons which had frozen to death. For many days his vessel sailed among these dead bodies. Since that time he watched for the pigeons, but seldom saw any making their flight north or south at their accustomed times. It is not too late to find out the weather conditions in the fall of 1873 or 1874. Also to find from mariners on the great lakes or from people living on its shores whether any great number of birds were found dead on the waters at that time. Thus it could be established whether or not the pigeons were killed off by man or the natural elements.

He is president of the First National bank of Uniontown, an institution that heads the honor roll in our state and in the nation. Mr. Thompson hasn't a vice, eschewing ardent spirits and tobacco entirely, but he has one very decided peculiarity—his penchant for the number eleven being deeply ingrained in his soul. Perhaps it was because he was born on the eleventh day of November (the eleventh month), but at all events he sticks to the mystic numerals. He buys stocks in blocks of 1,100 or 11,000, and if you go to him to borrow a thousand dollars he prefers to make it eleven hundred. The magnificent bank and office building of Uniontown, which he erected, has eleven stories, and, finally, when he took a charming lady for his wife some years ago they went on a honeymoon trip that lasted eleven months.

W Woman Fast Supplants Man in Trades By P. EVAN JONES From time to time articles have appeared in regard to the dying out of the wild pigeon. About fifteen years ago I met an old seaman who was then second mate on the steamer Uganda. He told me that ever since he was a boy—he was between sixty and seventy when I met him—he had watched the wild pigeons cross the great lakes in their annual north and south flights. They came in droves, darkening the sun like clouds. One fall—I think it was 1873 or 1874—a sudden norther blew up with the One of the foremost men in Pennsylvania, a fellow-townsman, and my personal friend, is Josiah V. Thompson, banker and millionaire land owner, of Uniontown. Mr. Thompson's career shows what the sturdy, never-quitting American type can do. Starting out in life with nothing but health, honest purpose and ambition to rise, he has made a fortune that is conservatively estimated at $50,000,000. Most of it he has won by shrewd deals in coal and coke lands, of which he is one of the biggest owners in the entire country, his holdings in Greene county covering tens The south park commissioners of Chicago are doing a work in behalf of the birds which should receive the commendation and co-operation of the public.

VON DICKERSOHN, Secretary. SCOTT'S CHAPEL NOTES. Mrs. Annie Bobo has changed her name to that of Mrs. William Dawson. The ceremony took place at the seat of the recent district conference which met at Manhattan, Kansas, with the Rev. J. N. Wallace, her pastor, officiating. Four other divines helped to tie the knot. The marriage took place at the beautiful residence of Prof. E. C. Freeman, principal of the Manhattan public school. Mrs. Dawson will be greatly missed from Scott's church, as she was a faithful worker. Her husband, who is very congenial, is the pastor of the M. E. church at Alma aad Waubaunsee. We wish her God speed in her new field of labor. Mrs. Sallie A. Ramsey will be here today preparatory of announcing a series of revival meetings. Mrs. Ramsey is a powerful speaker and if you come and hear her you will not be disappointed. There will be three services Sunday, morning, afternoon and evening. Come out and hear this strong evangelist. Mrs. C. H. Winters has gone to Cheyenne for a little rest and vacation. The prayer meetings held during the past week have toned up the church spiritually. Now for a great battle against wickedness. The District Conference voted to go to Colorado Springs next year. The Rev. W. R. Stephens is the pastor here. He and his excellent wife gave a literary and musical program at the First M. E. Church to a very large audience of both races. A silver offering of $45 was given the People's M. E. Church. The Rev. Stephens has just finished his course at Gammon School of Theology. The mother of the Misses Della and Ida Williams is in the city. Mrs. Williams hails from the Crescent City—New Orleans. Mrs. A. R.

Noel Co Children 65c COL. ROOSEVELT IS ORATOR AT OSAWATOMIE CEREMONY He Delivers the Chief Address at the Dedication of John Brown Park, Discoursing of the Present Day Struggle for Human Betterment. --- Osawatomle, Kan., Aug. 31.—With elaborate ceremony, John Brown park, a tract of 22 acres on the ground where the battle of Osawatomle was fought 64 years ago yesterday, was dedicated today and presented to the state of Kansas. The culmination of the affair was the dedicatory address, which was delivered by Col. Theodore Roosevelt. Preliminary exercises were held yesterday, and the program was resumed at 10:30 this morning with a concert by the Thirteenth Regiment band, followed by a drill by troops of the Kansas National guard and the regular army. Meanwhile Col. Roosevelt's train had arrived and all the thousands of people assembled here went to the station to greet him. After dinner all gathered in the new park, where there was a parade by the soldiery, the Grand Army Woman's Relief corps and civic societies and another band concert. Then, after a vocal solo by Miss Elizabeth Uhls and an invocation, the president of the board of trustees, Cora M. Deputy, formally presented the park to the state on behalf of the Woman's Relief corps of Kansas, which bought the ground. Governor Stubbs responded gracefully for the state, and then the chairman, J. B. Remington, introduced the distinguished orator of the day, former President Roosevelt. Oration by Colonel Roosevelt Col. Roosevelt stood silent and smiling until the storm of applause had died down, and then spoke as follows: Application of the Lesson. I do not speak of this struggle of the past merely from the historic standpoint. Our interest is primarily in the application today of the lessons taught by the contest of half a century ago. It is of little use for us to pay lip loyalty to the mighty men of the past unless we sincerely endeavor to apply to the problems of the present precisely the qualities which in other crises enabled the men of that day to meet those crises. It is half a century ago that we met the way in which well-meaning people gather to do honor to the men who, in company with John Brown, and under the lead of Abraham Lincoln, faced and solved the great problems of the nineteenth century, while at the same time these same good people nervously shrink from or frantically denounce those who are trying to meet the problems of the twentleth in the spirit which was accountable for the successful solution of the problems of Lincoln's time. Of that generation of men, to whom we owe so much, the man to whom we owe the most is, or were Lincoln. Part of the reason to him is because we forecast our present struggle and saw the way out. He said: "I hold that while man exists it is his duty to improve not only his own condition but to assist in ameliorating mankind." And again, "Labor is prior to and independent of capital; capital is only the fruit of labor, and could not be superior to labor. Labor is the superior of capital and deserves much the higher consideration. Capital has its rights which are as worthy of protection as any other rights. . . Nor should this lead to a war upon the owners of property. Property is the fruit of labor; property is desirable; is a positive good in itself. It is also a good show down the house of another, but let him work diligently and build one for himself, thus by example showing that his own shall be safe from violence when built." It seems to me that in these words Lincoln took substantially the attitude that we ought to take; he showed the proper sense of proportion in his relative estimates of capital and labor, of property and wealth, all in this speech, as in many others, he taught a lesson in wise kindliness and charity; an indispensable lesson to us of today. But this wise kindliness and charity never weakened his arm or numbed his heart. We cannot afford weakly to which faces we the actual conflict which faces us today. The blame is joined, and we must fight or fall. Equality of Opportunity. In every wise struggle for human betterment one of the main objects, and often the only object, has been to achieve in larger measure equality of opportunity. In the struggle for this great end, nations rise from barbarism to civilization, and through it peoples press forward from one stage of enlightenment to the next. One of the chief factors in progress is the destruction of special privilege. The essence of any struggle for healthy liberty has always been and must always take place in the absence of men the right to enjoy power, or wealth, or position, or immunity, which has not been earned by service to his or their fellows. At many stages in the advance of humanity this conflict between the men who possess more than they have earned and the men who have earned more than they possess is the central condition of progress. In our day it appears as the struggle of free men to gain and hold the right of self-government as against the special interests, who twist the methods of free government into machinery for defeating the popular will. At every stage the bureaucracy and institutional essence of the struggle is to equalize opportunity, destroy privilege, and give to the life and citizenship of every individual the highest possible value both to himself and to the commonwealth. Practical equality of opportunity for all citizens, when we achieve it, will have two great results. First, every man will have a fair chance to make of himself all that in him lies, to reach the highest point to which his capacities, unassisted by special privilege of his own and unhampered by the special privileges of others, will allow him to get for himself and his family what he must have earned. Second, equality of opportunity means that the commonwealth will get from every citizen the highest service of which he is capable. No man who carries the burden of the special privileges of another can give to the commonwealth that service to which it is fairly entitled. I stand for the square deal. But when I say that I am for the square deal I mean not merely that I stand for fair play under the present rules of the game, but that I stand for having those rules unaltered and made for more equitable equality of opportunity, and of reward for equally good service. This means that our governments, National and State, must be freed from the sinister influence or control of special interests. Exactly as the special interests of cotton and slavery threatened our political integrity before the Civil war, so now the great special business interests are compelled to adopt the methods of government for their own profit. We must drive the special interests out of politics. That is one of our tasks today. Every special interest is entitled to justice—full, fair, and complete—but not one is entitled to a vote in congress, a voice on the bench, or to representation in any public office. The Conductivity, and we must make that promise good. But it does not give the right of suffrage to any corporation. Property Should Be the Servant. The true friend of property, the true conservative, is he who insists that property shall be the servant and not the master of the commonwealth; who insists that the creature of man's making shall be the servant and not the master of the man who made it. The citizen of the United States must effectively control the mighty commercial forces which they have themselves called into being. There can be no effective control of corporations while their political activity remains. To put an end to it will be neither a short nor an easy task, but it can be done. We must have complete and effective publicity of corporate affairs, so that the people know beyond paradise venture either the corporate affairs or whether their management entitles them to the confidence of the public. It is necessary that laws should be passed to prohibit the use of corporate funds directly or indirectly for political purposes; it is still more necessary that such laws should be thoroughly enforced. Corporate expenditures for political purposes, especially use and expenditure public service corporations, have supplied one of the principal sources of corruption in our political affairs. It has become entirely clear, that we must have government supervision of the capitalization not only of public service corporations, including particularly railways, but of all corporations doing an important work, and see the Nation forced into ownership of the railways if it can possibly be avoided, and the only alternative is thoroughgoing and effective regulation, which shall be based on a full knowledge of all the facts, including a physical valuation of the property. This physical valuation is not needed, or at least is very rarely needed, or may be ignored, as required as the basis of honest capitalization. We have come to recognize that franchises should never be granted except for a limited time, and never without proper provision for compensation to the public. It is my personal belief that the same degree of control which degree could be exercised over public service corporations should be extended also to combinations which control necessities of life, such as meat, oil, and coal, or which deal in them on an important scale. I believe that the officers, and especially that the directors, of corporations, should be held personally responsible when any corporation breaks the law. Dealing With Combinations. Combinations in industry are the result of an imperative economic law which cannot be repealed by political legislation. The effort at prohibiting all combination of combinations does not lie in attempting to prevent such combinations, but in completely controlling them in the interest of the public welfare. For that purpose the Federal Bureau of Corporation is committed to the improvement Its power and therefore its efficiency, as well as that of the Inter-State Commerce Commission, should be largely Increased. We have a right to expect from the Bureau of Corporations and from the Inter-State Commerce Commission a very high grade of public service. We should be as sure of the proper conduct of inter-state railways and the proper management of inter-state business as we are now sure of the conduct and management of the National banks, and we should have an effective supervision in one case as in the other. The Hepburn action is an amendment to that congress at the last session, represent a long step in advance and we must go yet further. There is a widespread belief among our people that, under the methods of making tariffs which have hitherto obtained, the special interests are too influential. Probably this is true of both the big interests and the little interests. These methods have put a premium on selfishness, and naturally the selfish big interests have gotten more attention than the fish small interests. A duty of concern is the method by which the interest of the whole people shall be all that receives consideration. To this end there must be an expert tariff commission, wholly removed from the possibility of political pressure or of improper business influence. Such a commission can find out the real difference between cost of production, which is mainly the difference of labor cost here and abroad. As fast as its recommendations are made believe in revising one scheme at time. A general tariff almost entirely to log-rolling, and the subordination of the general public interest to local and special interests. The absence of effective state, and especially National, restraint upon unfair money-getting has tended to create a small class of enormously wealthy and economically powerful men, whose chief object is to hold and increase their power. The primary effect of this condition which enables these men to accumulate power which it is not for the general welfare that they should hold or exercise. We grudge no man a fortune which represents his own power and sagacity, when exercised with entire regard to the welfare of his fellows. But the fortune must be honorably obtained, which that it should have been gained without doing damage to the community. We should permit it to be gained only so long as the gaining represents benefit to the community. This, I know, implies a policy of a far more active governmental interference with social and economic conditions in society that we have not to face the fact that such an increase in governmental control is now necessary. Income and Inheritance Taxes No man should receive a dollar unless that dollar has been fairly earned. Every dollar received should represent a dollar's worth of service rendered. The really big fortune, the swollen fortune, by the mere fact of its size, acquires qualities which differentiate it in kind as well as in degree from what is possessed by men of relatively small means. Therefore believe in a graduated income fortunes, and in an increased and far more easier a graduated inheritance tax on big fortunes, properly safeguarded against evasion, and increasing rapidly in amount with the size of the estate. The people of the United States suffer from periodical financial panics to a degree substantially unknown among the other nations which approach us in financial strength. There is no reason we should suffer what they escape. It is of profound importance that our financial system should be prompt investigated, and so thorough and effectively revised as soon as time again that hereafter mercy will no longer fall at critical times to meet our needs. It is hardly necessary for me to repeat that I believe in an efficient army and a navy large enough to secure for us abroad that respect which is the surest guarantee of peace. Justice and fair dealing among nations rest on principles identical with those which control justice and fair dealing among the individuals of which nations are composed; with the vital exception that each nation must do its own partin international police work. National friendships like those between men, must be forged in respect as well as on occasion forbearance as well as trust. In all this it is peculiarly the duty of the United States to set a good example. Of conservation I shall speak more at length elsewhere. Conservation means development as much as it does protection. I recognize the right and the duty of this generation to develop and use the natural resources of our land, but I do not recognize the right to waste them, or to rob, by wasteful use, the generations that come after us. The natural resources must be used for the benefit of all our people and not monopolized for the fit of the few. That is one of the fundamental reasons why the special interests must come out of politics. Of all the conditions which can come before this Nation, short of the actual preservation of its existence in a great war, there is none which compares in importance with the great central task of leaving this land even a better land for our descendants than it is for us, and training them into a better race to inhabit the land and pass it on. Conservation is a great moral issue, for it involves the patriotic duty of insuring the safety and continuance of the Nation. Let me add the health and vitality of our people are at least as well with conserving as their forest waters, lands, and minerals, and that in this great work the National government must bear a most important part. I have spoken elsewhere also of the great task which lies before the farmers of the country to get for themselves and for their wives and children not only the benefits of better farming, but also those of better business methods and better conditions of life on the farm. The burden of this great task will fall as it organizes from the great organizations of the farmers themselves. I am glad it will, for I believe they are well able to handle it. In particular, there are strong reasons why the departments of agriculture of the various states, the United States department of agriculture, and the agricultural colleges and experiment stations should lend their wives and children the benefit of life on the farm, instead of limiting themselves, as they have far too often limited themselves in the past, solely to the question of the production of crops. Human Welfare Comes First. Nothing is more true than that excess of every kind is followed by reaction; a fact which should be pondered by reformer and reactionary alike. We are face to face with new conceptions of the relations of possession certain advocates of the rights of property as against the rights of men have been pushing their claims too far. The man who wrongly holds that every human right is secondary to his profit must now give way to advocate of the rights of property to the right; that every man holds his property subject to the general right of the community to regulate its use to whatever degree the public welfare may require it. But I think we may go still further. The right to regulate the use of wealth in the community is universally admitted. Let us admit also the right to regulate the terms and conditions of labor, which is the chief element of wealth, directly in the interest of the common good. The fundamental thing to do for every man is to give him his place in a place he will make the greatest contribution to the public welfare. No man can be a good citizen unless he has a wage more than sufficient to cover the bars cost of living, and hours of labor short enough so that after his day's work is done he will have time and energy to bear his share in the management of the community, to help in carving out the jobs that are less than less men from being good citizens by the conditions of life with which we surround them. We need comprehensive workmen's compensation acts, both state and National laws to regulate child labor and the work of women, and especially we need in our common schools not merely education in book-learning but also practical training or daily life and work and appliance conditions for our workers, and to extend the use of safety appliances in industry and commerce both within and between the states. Also, friends, in the interest of the workingmen himself we need to set our faces like flint against mob violence just as against corporate greed; against violence and injustice and lawlessness by the use of weapons such as against lawless cunning and greed and selfish arrogance of employers. National efficiency has many factors. It is a necessary result of the principle of conservation widely applied. In the end it will determine our failure or success as a Nation. National efficiency has to do not only with natural resources and with men. It is equally concerned with institutions. The state must be made efficient for the work which concerns only the people of the state; and the Nation for that which concerns all the people. There must remain no neutral ground to serve as a refuge for lawbreakers, and especially for lawbreakers of great wealth, who can hire the culpine legal writing with each other how to avoid both jurisdictions. It is a misfortune when the National legislature fails to do its duty in providing a National remedy, so that the only National activity is the purely negative activity of the judiciary in forbidding the state to exercise power in the premises. Calls for Broad Nationalism. I do not ask for over-centralization, but I do ask that we work in a spirit of broad and far-reaching Nationalism when we work for what concerns our people as a whole. We are all Americans. Our common interests are as broad as the continent, speak to you here Kennesaw State University in New York or Georgia, for the most vital problems are those which affect us all alike. The National government belongs to the whole American people, and where the whole American people are interested, that interest can be guarded effectively only by the National government. The interest we need to be as compliled, I believe, mainly through the National government. The American people are right in demanding that new Nationalism without which we cannot hope to deal with new problems. The new Nationalism puts the National need before sectional or personal advantage. It is impatient of the utter confusion that results from local legislatures attempting to treat Nationalism as a less issue. It is therefore a patient of the impotence which springs from the over-division of government powers, the impotence which makes it possible for local selfishness or for legal cunning, hired by wealthy special interests, to bring National activities to a deadlock. This new Nationalism regards the executive power as the steward of the public welfare. It demands of the judiciary that it shall be interested primarily in human welfare rather than in proper management. Its constitutive body shall represent all the people, rather than any one class or section of the people. I believe in shaping the ends of government to protect property as well as human welfare. Normally, and in the long run, the ends are the same, but whenever the alternative must be faced I am for men and not for property am far from underestimating the importance of human action, but I rank dividends below the human character. I know well that the reformers must not bring upon the people economic ruin, or the reforms themselves will go down in the ruin. But we must be ready to face temporary disaster, whether or not brought on by those who will war against us to the knife. Those who oppose all reform will do well to remember that ruin is a problem of National life brings us nothing better than swollen fortunes for the few and the triumph in both politics and business of a sordid and selfish materialism. Honesty in Public Servants. If our political institutions were perfect, they would absolutely prevent the political domination of money in any part of our affairs. We need to make our political representatives more quickly and sensitively responsive to the people whose servants they are. More direct action by the people is more effective. The proper safeguards is vitally necessary. The direct primary is a step in this direction if it is associated with a corrupt practises act effective to prevent the advantage of the man willing recklessly and unscrupulously to spend money over his more honest competitor. It is particularly important that campaign purposes should be publicly accounted for not only after election but before election as well. Political action must be made simpler, easier, and freer from confusion for every citizen. I believe that the prompt removal of unfaithful or incompetent public servants should be made easier and way experience shall show to be most expedient in any given class of cases. One of the fundamental necessities in a representative government such as ours is to make certain that the men to whom the people delegate their power shall serve the people by whom they are elected, and not the special interests. I believe that every National officer, elected or appointed, should be forbidden to perform any service or receive any compensation or compensation early from central corporations; and a similar provision could not fall to be useful within the states. The object of government is the welfare of the people. The material progress and prosperity of a nation are desirable chiefly so far as they lead to the moral and material welfare of all good citizens. Just in proportion to the great honest, capable of sound judgment and high ideals, active in public affairs—but first of all sound in their home life, and the father and mother of healthy children—just so far and no farther we may count our civilization a success. We must have—I believe we have already achieved, without which no wisdom of legislation or administration really means anything; and, on the other hand, we must try to secure the social and economic legislation without which any improvement due to purely moral agitation is necessarily annesiac. We must have good citizenship means progress; and therefore all good citizens should stand for progress, and must be progressive.

Tulare, Cal., Man Cured by Doan's Kidney Pills. Harrison A. Sturtevant, G and Maple Sts., Tulare, Cal., says: "I was in bad shape with kidney trouble. Too frequent passage of the urine compelled me to arise at night, my bladder became inflamed and I had excruciating pains in my abdomen. Soon after I began using Doan's Kidney Pills, I passed a gravel stone three-quarters of an inch pened me to arise night, my bladder be- came inflamed and I had excruciating pains in my abdomen. Soon after I began using Doan's Kidney Pills, I passed a gravel stone three- quarters of an inch in length and variegated in color. After this my trouble disappeared." Remember the name—Doan's.

The professor was delivering an eloquent address on cruelty to animals, and to illustrate how a little judicious forethought would eliminate to a great extent the sufferings that even small insects are subject to, said: "As I was coming through the hall tonight I saw a bald-headed gentleman very harshly treat a little innocent house-fly which had alighted on his head. "Now, if there was any justification for such bad temper, I would be quite justified in indulging in it at the present moment, for a fly has just alighted on the back of my head. I can't see it, but I can feel it. "Possibly some of you can see it now; it is on the top of my head. Now it is coming down my brow; now it is coming on to my— G-r-eat pyramids of Egypt, it's a—wasp!" Little, but, Oh, My! Senator Smoot of Utah tells a story on the late E. H. Harriman, which sounds somewhat familiar. He says that when the Salt Lake cut-off was completed Mr. Harriman took a large party of big railroad men out to it. They had their pictures taken at the right spot scenically. Mr. Harriman stood at one end of the group. When the pictures were printed and the photographer brought them around the railroad men examined them. "Why," shouted one of the guests, "where's Mr. Harriman?" "Do you mean that little chap that stood at the end?" asked the photographer. "Why, I cut him off." The Stylish Fisherman. One of the guests at a fashionable summer resort in West Virginia got himself up in his best "fishing togs" and started along a certain mountain stream. Meeting a native, he asked: "Here, my good man! Kindly tell me whether it would be worth my while to try fishing in this vicinity." The native regarded him scornfully. "The fishin' ain't good," he finally said, "but I ain't informed as to how you values your time."—Lippincott's. A Wise Old Owl. In her trim little bathing suit she sat on the white sand. "I adore intelligence," she cried. "So do I," said he. "All the same, though, beauty and intellect never go together." "And do you think me intellectual?" she faltered. "No" he confessed, frankly.

A lady of Green Forest, Ark., owes her health to the fact that she could not pay in advance the fee demanded by a specialist to treat her for stomach trouble. In telling of her case she says: "I had been treated by four different physicians during 10 years of stomach trouble. Lately I called on another who told me he could not cure me; that I had neuralgia of the stomach. Then I went to a specialist who told me I had catarrh of the stomach and said he could cure me in four months but would have to have his money down. I could not raise the necessary sum and in my extremity I was led to out coffee and try Postum. "So I stopped coffee and gave Postum a thorough trial and the results have been magical. I now sleep well at night, something I had not done for a long time; the pain in my stomach is gone and I am a different woman. "I dreaded to quit coffee, because every time I had tried to stop it I suffered from severe headaches, so I continued to drink it although I had reason to believe it was injurious to me, and was the cause of my stomach trouble and extreme nervousness. But when I had Postum to shift to it was different. "To my surprise I did not miss coffee when I began to drink Postum. "Coffee had been steadily and surely killing me and I didn't fully realize what was doing it until I quit and changed to Postum." Ever read the above letter! A new one appears from time to time. They are genuine, true, and full of human interest. Patience—Did you ever try counting ten before speaking? Patrice—Yes, I tried it once, but I can't do it. Yonkers Statesman. HOWARD E.

It is estimated that a total of 900 cars will be sent out. The heaviest shipments of peaches for any single day were on August 24, when sixty-five cars went out. Nothing like it was ever known in Colorado, and no section of its size in the world could duplicate it. 10.000 Cars Potatoes. Greeley.—W. H. Olin, formerly of the Colorado Agricultural College, now agricultural superintendent of the Denyer, Laramie & Northwestern railway, estimates that there will be 10,000 carloads of potatoes shipped out of the district this year. Notwithstanding the lateness of the crop and frost, the potatoes have not looked so well in years. To Establish a Working Policy.

Ambitious Electric Merger. Greeley.By the merging of the Denver, Greeley & Fort Collins Railroad Company and the Greeley & Northern Railway & Utility Company, a new company, having for its object the building of an electric line between Greeley and Denver, has been organized; also an electric line to reach into the Routt county coal fields and finally connect with an eastern railroad. A. Human Torch. John Pringle, a lineman employed by the Northern Colorado Power Company, had a narrow escape from burning to death on top of a pole at For Collins Friday. While making a connection, the wires became short-circuited and the oil in the transformer, which is on the pole, began to burn. Pringle was fast to the pole by his body belt and his clothing caught fire. With the flames crawling up about him, he stood helpies on the little platform, writhing in pain, while his body, between the waist and the knees, was burning. Fellow workmen rescued him and it is believed he will recover. Championship Motor Track. Denver.—The promoters of the Denver motor speedway have completed one of the best tracks in the United States for automobile and motorcycle racing. Five miles east of City Park upon the Union Pacific railroad these promoters have leased 6,000 acres of prairie land and built a three and one third mile oval course, that for low grades and elimination of curves has no superior. It is a natural road with hard clay base and has been graded, filled and rolled until it is as smooth as an asphalt boulevard. The State Normal at Greeley opens Sept. 13.

Directors of the Greeley-Poudre irrigation district are negotiating with B. D. Sanborn for the purchase of preferred water rights out of Boyd lake, which the latter owns. The propriety of Col. Roosevelt's criticism of some United States Supreme Court decisions before the Colorado Legislature, while in Denver, is creating considerable discussion east. The State Board of Health has secured the services of an expert on dairy sanitation from the government bureau with the purpose of placing Denver and Colorado dairies in the highest sanitary condition. "Elm" is the pretty name of the new station established on the Denver, Laramie & Northwestern railroad, eight miles west of Greeley, and heavy shipments of grain are being made from there to Denver and Greeley. Fossils of a species of pre-historic deep-sea dwellers, known to science as the pearly nautilus, estimated by P. Fult. Beardsley of the State Normal School to be from 1,000,000 to 5,000,000 years old, have been found by workmen near Greeley. Contractor Underwood of Fort Collins is to get $100,000 for building a big reservoir near Las Vegas, New Mexico. The reservoir will take water from the Gallinas river and a valley, which promises to be one of the most fertile in the world, is to be developed. The mining committee of the Chamber of Commerce is sending out a circular to every company in the state containing questions regarding the conditions under which each company is operating or was forced to suspend operations. The resulting information is expected to bring about improvement in mining. Peaches, the largest weighing $15\%$ ounces, being $3\%$ inches in diameter and $11\%$ inches in circumference, and taking but ten to make a yard, have set this year's pace for big Elberta peaches. They were brought in by J. H. Littleton of First Fruit Ridge, Grand Junction district. Mr. Littleton is going to put his peaches in cold storage for the Mesa County Fair and hopes for prizes on them. For the first time probably since the ancient cliff dwellers of the Mesa Verde, southwest of Mancos, carved their homes from the sides of the mountain, human hands will erect timbers and construct masonry in the ruins. The walls and the rooms are failing outward and an effort will be made to preserve them by the government. Prof. Edgar Hewitt and Prof. Jesse Nusbaum, a Greeley boy, have charge of the work. The Camfield Development Company of Greeley is to build many reservoirs in New Mexico and old Spanish grants embracing thousands of acres are to be cut up and sold when irrigated. The first rescue station put up as an experiment by the government for rescue work in case of mine disasters, is now in operation of rescue. A car equipped with the rescue paraphernalia will be kept at the station in constant readiness to be rushed to any point in Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Arizona.

Through the activity of women, in the anti-tuberculosis campaign, sanatoria and hospitals for the treatment of tuberculosis have been erected; traveling libraries have been circulated, posters, circulars and other kinds of literature have been distributed to the number of millions of pieces, thousands of lectures have been given, large sums of money have been secured, hundreds of needy cases have been helped; tuberculosis work has been started in many communities where no movement had existed; and millions of women have learned the dangers and methods of prevention of tuberculosis. The work of the women extends from the drawing-room of the rich to the homes of the poor, and embraces all classes, including the factory girl and millionaire. During the coming year a special campaign of lectures to women will be carried on in all parts of the United States. IN AGONY WITH ECZEMA "No tongue can tell how I suffered for five years with itching and bleeding eczema, until I was cured by the Cuticura Remedies, and I am so grateful I want the world to know, for what helped me will help others. My body and face were covered with sores. One day it would seem to be better, and then break out again with the most terrible pain and itching. I have been sick several times, but never in my life did I experience such awful suffering as with this eczema. I had made up my mind that death was near at hand, and I longed for that time when I would be at rest. I had tried many different doctors and medicines without success, and my mother brought me the Cuticura Remedies, insisting that I try them. I began to feel better after the first bath with Cuticura Soap, and one application of Cuticura Ointment. "I continued with the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment, and have taken four bottles of Cuticura Resolvent, and consider myself well. This was nine years ago and I have had no return of the trouble since. Any person having any doubt about this wonderful cure by the Cuticura Remedies can write to my address. Mrs. Altie Etson, 93 Inn Road, Battle Creek, Mich., Oct. 16, 1909." Why He Was Sorry. To impress on young children just what should and what should not be done and why, is among the most trying problems of parents, as evidenced by the recent experience of a West Philadelphia mother. Last Sunday she asked her small son, aged eight, to carry a chair for her from the dining room to the parlor. He started off willingly, but in the hall he tripped and fell. Amid the crash could be heard the boy giving vent to utterances that would have done credit to a pirate of ancient days. The mother was taken by surprise and was greatly shocked. She gave the boy a long and serious talk on the subject of profanity. This apparently did not make the right impression, for when she concluded the boy adder to her discomfiture by exclaiming, "I am sorry I swore, mamma, but I forgot it was Sunday." Tough Luck "I thought you said this was a young chicken," remarked Newed, as he sawed away at a portion of the bird. "And I thought it was," rejoined his better half. "I looked in its mouth and it showed no indications of having cut a single tooth yet. The dealer must have imposed upon me." "Did he tell you it was a young chicken?" queried her husband. "No," replied Mrs. Newed. "But I'm sure he must have extracted its teeth before offering it for sale." Tit for Tat. "Miss Bings," stammered the young man, "I called on you last night did I not?" "What an odd question! Of course, you did." "W-w-well, I just wanted to say that if I proposed to you I was drunk." "To ease your mind, I will say that if I accepted you I was crazy."—Judge.

There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remission. Deafness is the result of the impairment of the hearing of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inhaled you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed. Deafness is the result of the impairment of the hearing of the tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever, nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an infiltrated condition of the mucous surfaces.
