THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY THE YEAR'S REVIEW THE CLOSING OF THE YEAR 1910. DESPITE OPPO SITION THE NEGRO IS RISING. ARE WE READY FOR THE MORROW'S BATTLE? VOL. XVII. THE YE THE CLOSING OF THE YE SITION THE NEGRO IS R FOR THE MOR THE YEAR. The year 1910 will soon be a recollection. The history of the yesterdays will be written and by the plenitude of our accomplishments will we be measured. The year has been full of history for the Negro. Gradually becoming merged as a common citizen of the land, the strange paradox of more intense feeling between the races comes from everywhere. The outrages committed by and charged up to Negroes have been more aggravating to public sentiment despite the fact that they have been fewer in number. The fond hope that accumulated wealth would serve to ameliorate public sentiment, from surface indications has gone glimmering, and the places evidences of increasing wealth among people of our race seem most apparent, there the gnarled fangs of race hatred appear. This is the view of the reissimist. Why not become an optimist in these the last days of a great year and see something positively good. The clouds are not so dark but that here and there the bright rim of the silvery lining can be seen through the rifts. With the opening of the year the Negro faced the problems of life better prepared than ever before in history. He had behind him fifty years of achievements in education, in wealth, and in morality. The Negro at the beginning of 1910 had something to stand on, built by the ebon hands of his ancestors. SOME RESULTS. It would not be possible to collect at this time all facts relative to the material, moral and spiritual progress of our people this year. We are so prone to accept the hapuenings reported in current dailies and the few imperfectly understood events of our immediate neighborhood as the net sum of our people's advancement. We as a mass, fail to bring together ALL the achievements from all parts of the land, and from them draw lessons of faith and confidence. The increase of Negro products going into the general market has been far beyond our hopes. The many Negro farmers have been increased this year an hundred fold. The Negro skilled laborer has laid more feet of stone wall and built more houses than in any other year. The race has increased its real estate holdings more than before. The spirit of acquisition grows stronger each day and it is in the effort to satisfy this desire to possess something that brings our people directly and aggressively into the current of prejudice. Rumors and reports from eastern and northern cities where manifestations of prejudice have been unknown, brings news of segregation. The vast increase in the number of Negro buyers indicates that our people have become conscious of the right use of a dollar. Despite opposition the Negro is rising. With the growing intelligence one notes fewer criminals, even of the petty class. And one can see the growing class of high minded men and women who will dominate and divert the future destiny of our people. The moral and spiritual leaders are better prepared to do their work. Hence, the rapid rise. NEXT YEAR. What can we hope to do more than we have? Are we ready for the morning's battle. In the rush of tomorrow, we need greater confidence in ourselves. We need more confidence in the business elements of the race. Thousands of boys and girls are being turned out of our schools each year into avenues of life circumscribed. The work of tomorrow is to find employment for them; to find remunerative and congenial work for them means a revolution in our business life. The Negro business man is the neglected one of the race, yet to him must we look for employment for the great mass of our young people. We spend thousands of dollars every year buying shoes, clothing, groceries and the thousand other necessaries of life, and less than one-tenth goes into the pockets of our Negro business men. Here in Denver the few Negroes who have ventured into business find but meagre and indifferent support from those of our race who buy. We are long on complaints because of the lack of suitable employment, but mighty short of aiding those who would give us something to do. Let the watchword for 1911 be more places of employment for our negro boys and girls, and then let us get behind and push every Negro business enterprise to success so far as in our power. DENVER. COLORADO, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 31 1910. The Most Difficult Problem the Race, in its Fullest Development, Has to Solve is the Reaching of its Lowest Element. The most difficult problem any race has to face in its fullest development is the reaching of its lowest element. This substrata is mainly a problem because it is removed from the common influences that make for it the building of a race. The possibilities are there—but they are unreached. There has been great progress in the upper classes of the Negro, but the immediate task of the race is the reaching of the unreached—which are a hindrance to the further progress of the work advanced. No more successful attempt to reach the masses of Negroes is known to us than the tours of the Southern states made during the recent years by Dr. Booker T. Washington. These are not social jaunts although they may afford pleasure for some, but they are educational campaigns carefully and seriously planned. No one can study for a day or two this reaching of thousands of Negroes without being impressed that the movement is significant, unique and exceedingly practical. On such trips Doctor Washington is accompanied by twenty to twenty-five men, including prominent men within the state visited and a number from other states. These constitute the party who usually travel in a special car. This adds emphasis to the trip. Dates are made covering from five to ten days, and on some days Doctor Washington delivers two and three set addresses beside several brief addresses from the platform of his car. The visit to many a town is of more than ordinary significance. It becomes an outstanding event, a sort of a holiday. In Reidsville, N. C., recently work was suspended in tobacco factories and the colored school children assembled en masse to greet Doctor Washington and strew flowers in his pathway and later heard his address. Farmers came in from the country, and the population from the alleys and cabins mingled with the educated and cultured of the race to see and hear this man of whom the world has heard. The masses are actually reached Doctor Washington toured North Carolina from October 29th to November 3rd. This was the seventh state thus visited. As an item of great interest in this connection we give the states visited and the number who were addressed during the recent year, and in each case the estimates are very conservative: Oklahoma 50,000; Tennessee, 100,000; Mississippi, 125,000; Delaware, 12,000; Arkansas, 60,000; South Carolina, 80,000; North Carolina, 60,000. These audiences varied in size and were composed of persons in all walks of life and the humble being always in evidence. When once facing his audience, Doctor Washington has the good sense to go at his job in a straightforward and logical way. The majority of his hearers need instruction in the fundamentals—in first principles. While there are a few who think that the message is not suited to them let it be stated that the message, per se, is not for such. Too long we have neglected a class who figure largely in the world's estimate of the Negro-race as a whole. Doctor Washington is an educator in these towns no less than at Tuskegee. He must teach. He must teach the masses. He does it. He instructs them in that which they need most and that which they can take in best, and in this he shows great wisdom and has large success. It cannot be denied that the race needs instruction in sobriety, reliability, industry, thrift and the like cardinal virtues. Instruction in such fundamentals is necessary and the race is to be congratulated in having a more big enough to be content to do this job and who is doing it so well.—Editorial: Southwestern Christian Advocate, New Orleans. INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON AFRICA. Tuskegee, Ala., December 26. Booker T. Washington, head of the well known Industrial School for Negroes, located at this place, has formulated plans and has recently issued invitations for an international conference at Tuskegee of all persons in Europe or America who are directly or indirectly interested in the education and improvement of the Negro peoples of Africa. The purpose of this conference will be to bring together not only students of colonial and racial questions, but more particularly those who, either as missionaries, teachers or government officials, are actually engaged in any way in practical and constructive work, which seeks to build up Africa by educating and improving the character and condition of the native peoples. This conference will meet at Tuskegee about the middle of January, 1912. Its purpose will be to get from the people who are on the ground a clearer and more definite notion of the actual problems involved in the redemption of the African peoples; to enable those who are engaged in work in Africa to see for themselves what is being done at Tuskegee in the way of educating black men, and to enable them to decide for themselves to what extent the methods employed at the Tuskegee school can be used to advantage in Africa. For a number of years past missionaries from all parts of the world have been coming in increasing numbers to visit and study the methods of the Tuskegee Institute, and it is believed that this conference will prove a welcome opportunity to many others to do the same. It is expected that a permanent organization of "The Friends of Africa" may be effected as a result of this conference, which will aid in organizing, stimulating and directing the work of education and civilization in the Dark Continent. RACE NEWS The Salvation Army in Harrisbury, Pa., draws the color line. A disabled colored man, who was a stranger in the city, was turned away, with the statement that their home was for white men alone. Montgomery, Ala., Dec. 13. Four of the most prominent and wealthy white men in Alabama have been convicted of peonage, and since the United States Supreme Court has confirmed the decision of the lower court, it looks very much as if these people would have to spend a period in jail. of the West Tennessee Conference of the C. M. E Church, held in this city last week, a report was read showing that $90,000 had been collected by the conference during the year, of which $45,000 was used for educational purposes. The conference was presided over by Bishop Isaac Lane, who has been a bishop of the C. M. E Church thirty-eight years, and he is highly respected by the white people of the South. Many of the representative Negroes of the race attended the conference and gave some very good advice to the min- Richmond, Ind.—Loreila Burden, a colored girl, about twelve years old, has been declared the champion speller in the township. It seemed impossible to give the girl a word which she could not spell, and she is expected to win the county match in January and to be a representative of the district match in February. Henry A. Loveless of Montgomery Alabama, is one of the most successful undertakers in the state. By his efficiency and reliabiality he has built up an enviable reputation in Montgomery. He carries an up-to date line of goods. His fine pair of gray Hearse horses won first prize at the recent State Fair in that state. The African Methodist Episcopal Church has always been a leader in the education of the Negro. This denomination is at present supporting twenty schools in which are two hundred eighty pupils. The property of these schools is valued at one million dollars. The denomination is raising annually about one hundred fifty thousand dollars for education. They are raising some extraordi dinay hogs in North Carolina. A recent item from the town of Bahama in that state says that Frank Copeland, a worthy Negro of that place killed a hog which after it was dressed tipped the scales at six hundred and forty paunds and a small one that when dressed weighed one hundred and ninety-eight pounds. Mr. Copeland is not troubled about the high price of meat or whether or not the Chicago packers are going to quit business. Memphis, Tenn., Dec. 20.—At the twenty-ninth annual session NO 16 of the West Tennessee Conference of the C. M. E Church, held in this city last week, a report was read showing that $90,000 had been collected by the conference during the year, of which $45,000 was used for educational purposes. The conference was presided over by Bishop Isaac Lane, who has been a bishop of the C. M. E. Church thirty-eight years, and he is highly respected by the white people of the South. Many of the representative Negroes of the race attended the conference and gave some very good advice to the ministers in attendance. One of the most important things done by the conference was the adoption of a plan to raise, funds to complete a $13,000 Old Folks' Home and Hospital for Negroes in this city. The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court affirmed a judgment for $1,000 obtained by George W. Griffin, a pullman can porter, against Daniel M. Brady, president of a brass company and brother of Anthony N. Brady, because Brady had him arrested in Montreal in 1906 on a charge of stealing a pocketbook, of which charge the porter was acquitted later. The case was heard before the Appellate Division for the second time. On the first trial the jury brought in a verdict for $2,500, but Supreme Court Justice Dugro set the verdict aside on the ground that it was too high. Justice Dugro ruled that in one sense a colored man was as good as a white man, for the law says he is, "but he has not the same amount of injury under all the circumstances that white man would have." The Appellate Division ordered a new trial because of Justice Dugro's reasoning in setting aside the verdict and the second trial was before Justice McCall. Justice McCall said to the jury: It does not make the slightest difference to us whether one of the litigants is white and the other dark. They have equal rights here and they are each entitled to exact and even justice, nothing more and nothing less. It is this jury's verdict of $1,000 that is now sustained by the Appellate Division.—N. Y. Age. English Goods in Argentina.

Checks of from $1,000 to $2,000 each were distributed among the families. It is said that there will be no damage suits. More Pay for Fire Bosses. Trinidad.—Beginning Jan. 1 the Victor-American Fuel Company will pay its fire bosses $115 per month. Herefore they have been paid by the hour, but it is the intention of the company to secure efficient men for this position and make the salary high enough to cause them to spend a portion of their time in looking after the safety of miners, especially the more inexperienced. Will Pull and Top Beets. Fort Collins.—The vexing problem of how to pull and top sugar beets by machinery has been solved by Samuel J. Jackson. Fort Collins rancher. After working on the device for three years he has taken out a patent, and the first of his machines has been manufactured by the Plattner Implement Company, of Denver. It is the intention of Jackson to erect a factory for the building of the machines at Fort Collins, in the heart of the sugar beet raising country. Colorado's Winter Wheat. Denver.—The government crop reporter for December places the total acreage of winter wheat in Colorado on December 1 at 127,000 acres, a gain of 21,000 acres over the same date in 1909. The field value of the crop on December 1 was $1,571,760, against $1,823,960 for the same date last year. The decline in value in the face of an increased acreage is due to the long dry spell. The actual harvest probably will reveal a big gain over 1909. The revised schedule for 1995, as given out by the Department of Agriculture on December 14, gives the acreage of winter wheat in Colorado on December 1 of that year at 116,000 acres, against 137,000 this year. The crop on December 1 was 90 per cent of normal, against 93 per cent on the same date last year. The farm value is given as 82 cents a bushel on December 1, against 87 cents a month ago and an average of 75 cents a bushel for the past ten years. Report of Mining Commission. Denver.—Main causes of coal mine accidents, according to the Shafroth commission, headed by Victor C. Alderson, president of the State School of Mines: Carelessness and ignorance on the part of miners, mostly foreigners, in violating the accepted laws of safety; lack of discipline in almost every mine visited, and, indifference of one division of mining operators to safety of mines. Main recommendations: Establishment of a board of coal mining commissioners that shall supervise all coal mines in the state; establishment by coal companies at own expense of inspectors to patrol mines and enforce rules; creation of "mining institutes" to instruct coal miners in their duties; that the proposed commission hold examinations and issue certificates to mine superintendents, company inspectors, foremen, fire bosses and "shot-firers," and that none but certified men be employed in such positions; division of state into seven districts with deputy inspector in charge of each; that rescue stations be provided in coal centers; and that a revolution take place in the prevention of fires and explosions in mines through the use of fireproof materials in construction and in ventilation; and that one cent per ton of all coal mined be paid by operators into a fund to help meet expenses of proposed commission and the increased inspection cost. And the added cost to the mines will mean actual saving in freedom from catastrophe and accidents. Colorado Gets Good Part. Washington.—President Taft has approved the report of the special Board of Army Engineers recommending the apportionment of the new $20,000,000 fund, provided by Congress, among reclamation projects in the West. The board favored completion of the Grand valley and Uncompahgre projects in Colorado and the President's approval assures this state of more than one-tenth of the fund to be divided among ten states and territories.

On the charge of giving short weight warrants have been issued against twelve leading coal companies in Colorado Springs. Joseph Collier, who had conducted photographic studios in Colorado for the past thirty years, died at his home in Denver. Isaac Pope, an Erie saloon keeper, was fined $100 and costs in the District Court at Greeley for keeping open on Sunday. A new depot is being constructed by the Denver, Laramie & Northwestern railway at the town of Patron, ten miles north of Denver. Mike Quintana paid a $37.50 fine in Millikin for the pleasure of shooting his wide brimmed felt hat full of holes Christmas night. Marshal Will Truedale was perhaps fatally injured in Hotchkiss in a row with five cowboys who had come into town to have a good time. Nearly $8,000,000 in the form of checks for dividends have been distributed by Denver corporations during the holiday season this year. At a special meeting of members of the Christian church of Windsor, it was voted to employ Elder Robert Pegrum of Golden as minister. For the first time this winter Windsor lake is frozen over and old and young are skating. The thermometer fell to six below zero Christmas, which was the record over the county. Thinking an attempt was being made to rob his home, M. E. Goddard, a ranchman, living eight miles south of Colorado Springs, shot Sol Anderson through the lung. In answer to the petition circulated by ministers in Fort Collins and sent to Washington, the Postoffice Department has issued an order stopping distribution of mail Sundays in that city. The United States Reduction & Refining Company's big plant at Colorado City has received 151,000 tons of ore from the Cripple Creek district this year, the gross valuation being $3,171,000. For the first time since its construction, water is now flowing through the Croke canal at Golden, one of the largest and most important feeders of the Denver Reservoir and Irrigation Company system. Because he failed to purchase drinks promptly after being defeated at a game of dice in a saloon at Lynn, Juan Pice, a ranchman living near Aguilar, was shot in the thigh and seriously wounded. Thomas Tompkins, aged sixteen, who is in jail in Colorado Springs, charged with shooting his life-long chum, Walter Lucha, in a calf near Calhan, recently made a statement that the shooting was accidental! The five young men who brutally assaulted Marshal Truesdale of Hotchkiss Christmas night were arraigned before the police magistrates. They waived examination and were bound over to the District Court in $2,000 each. It is expected that George S.

THE PASSING PLAY. long has witnessed what is play, as it has been known was the musical comedy that has developed into an attractive treatment. The expenses and their production are profitable and the strain of keeping up and ever in competition with white, who was probably the representatives, is in a Saratoga preponder of parts written in Williams, the great delineate ville with a white company as The Shoo Fly Regimen, all have gone, and there. The Barber, the only survivor to rank with the other adder of play will be seen long. In the meantime some up five and ten cent Negroable criticism. My lights of the former play are employment to a nordeer grace no great honor. Into a taste none too elevate a legitimate way. THE year now ending has witnessed what is looked upon virtually as the passing of the Negro play, as it has been known to the boards for the past decade. This play was the musical comedy which superseded the minstrel show, and which was developed into an attraction of considerable pretensions and of creditable treatment. The expense of maintaining and conducting these organizations and their productions is said to have become too great to make them profitable and the strain upon those upon whom devolved the necessity of keeping up and ever improving the standard, in the face of comparison and competition with white shows, seems to have been disastrous. Bob Cole, who was probably the most original and self-dependent of our stage representatives, is in a Sanatorium, as is also George Walker, who, as an interpreter of parts written for him, had enjoyed even greater success. Bert Williams, the great delineator of conical Negro characters, is starring in vaudeville with a white company, but the plays of these three great artists, such as The Shoo Fly Regiment, The Red Moon, Abyssinia and Mr. Lode O'Coal, have gone, and there are no successors. S. H. Dudley, with His Honor The Barber, the only survivor of the Negro musical play, can hardly be said to rank with the other actors and plays mentioned. It is doubtful that this order of play will be seen soon again. But possibly something better is coming. In the meantime something worse seems to be filling the gap. The cheap five and ten cent Negro theatre in the large cities is coming in for considerable criticism. Many of the secondary lights of the former plays are appearing in them as "stars" and they give employment to a norde of other aspirants, male and female, who do the race no great honor. They appear to cater to a taste none too elevating and consequently give us little to hope for in a legitimate way. THE TASK. of a task depends largely work without a definite a f time is waste of life, and ending and very few of u tained during its passi ch we desired to accom- pany what we wanted to do. THE accomplishment of a task depends largely upon our comprehension of its requirements. To work without a definite aim is almost certain to be a waste of time. Waste of time is waste of life, and waste of life means a loss of reward. The year is ending and very few of us can point to the permanent benefits we have attained during its passing. Perhaps very few of us marked out the task which we desired to accomplish when the year began. Possibly we did not know what we wanted to do, other than to live and enjoy the passing days. But the aimless and easy enjoyment of the passing day is the thing that makes a wreck of life, whether it be the life of the individual, the community or the race, and long and hard is the struggle to redeem the waste when realization of the error finally forces itself upon the understanding. The Negro is endowed with a proverbial light-heartedness that makes him impervious to the destructive ravages of time and the disdain of the world, so far as his physical well being is concerned, but it brings him no mental or material improvement and the years come and go, finding him and leaving him in the same relative position, the last among the peoples of the earth. The desire to live and enjoy the passing day is the unbanished motive, and the simple serenity of that form of racial existence gives him no view of the greatness of life or the immensity of its possibilities. It is the realization of this condition that is to give the black man a better comprehension of the necessary task that life is holding for him, and to bring him to the determination to assume the task is the rightful duty and purpose of those who would be his leaders. To teach him to drift with the times is not enough, for this world is a world of competitive striving. To drift with the world is but to assume the cast-off garments of those who have worked and gone on ahead, and to be content with a second-hand wardrobe is never to know the value of a new one. And every successful race in the world has found that it had to learn to make its own garments to fit its own people. Development along the lines of natural racial tendencies is the only permanent and rational development possible for any race of people. The American Negro's hope for the complete adoption and assimilation of the white man's ideals is a futile hope, unless it shall be accompanied with the Negro's acceptance of the inevitable consequence of racial obliteration. Genuine racial development means no such thing. It means rather his development within and about himself. It means community development, beginning with the acquisition of land. It is not an unwise thing therefore, to say that life in the great cities of America cannot tend materially to the permanent development of the Negro, no matter how successful a few individual Negroes may become by the improvement of fortunate opportunities in those cities. The masses of the race will remain poor and despised unless they develop the virgin land and build or acquire their own towns and cities. The Negro community is an absolute necessity, if the Negro, as a race, is to become a factor in the business and commercial life of the nation and of the world. And if the American Negro would hasten his own development, the sooner that he realizes that he owes an ineffaceable duty to the land of his origin, greater than the Irish-American owes to Ireland, the sooner will he realize the natural zenith of his aims and comprehend the fullness of the task that the world holds out to him. Most Rooms Very Low and Quite Small By MARGARET BATESON HREE-QUARTERS of a century ago it was the ambition of every prosperous citizen to build himself a house. His dining table, the altar of ceremonious hospitality, gave two dozen people ample space to dine and gesticulate around its polished spread of mahogany. At expansive moments toward the end of the feast some small child elaborately dressed and curled would be placed on the table and invited to make her way along with the decanters to the other end without upsetting the dishes of dessert. And there was space for the performance of the feat. These houses really held things. There were immense pictures, of rich dark oils, in the dining room, and fine unfettered expanses of water colors in the drawing room. There was not only that great table with many leaves dedicated to eating; but in all the sitting rooms there would be ever so many fine, spacious solid tables on which work could be done and things could be laid. The people who could now be living in big houses have packed themselves into small ones, and I believe they will discover one of these days that they have lost a good deal by the change. They have lost more than a certain number of feet of space; they have lost the effect upon the mind and character that a spacious life gives. We all know that people living on moors and prairies have as a rule a certain dignity that people who are much crowded lack. What the large farm or homestead does for the countryman as compared with the oft crowded villager, that the stately town house does for its inhabitants and especially for children and young people. It makes the human being feel small by comparison with his surroundings, as the heavens and the ocean make him seem small. But it does not make him feel cheap and superfluous. The petty diminutive abode says daily to its owner: "Make haste; get out. Your room, little as it is, is wanted for others." But all this community of house room proved at last too trying. Give me a place to myself, however small, was the cry that went up from sons and daughters, sisters and brothers, and even from parents, wearied with the noise of the family breakfast table and the personalities and occasional quarrels of the domestic board. The cry has been answered by builders and hotel keepers. We have place to ourselves, and small they are. We have diminutive flats with reception rooms that just receive a tottering little table and nothing else. We dine at a table which accommodates a baby cruet almost under protest. The narrow beds in our little bedrooms have sides but no middle. There are no more fine pictures, only a quantity of photographs perilously edged against a narrow slat of wood.

A drawing room may look prettier since the abolition from it of all sensible tables. But it is much less habitable. It is small wonder that people nowadays try continually to curtail the time after dinner. It is because there is nothing one can do in a drawing room. At best somebody plays the violin or sings; at worst the pianola is set going. MARIA The poet who wished for "an hour of crowded life" should try living now. On the score of crowdedness, if not of life, he would be well content. Can you tell me why people weep at a theater when the clever actor or actress depicts some phase of human woe? Some People Unable to Show Grief By COL. HUGH BRAINARD New Orleans It is something I've never yet been able to account for satisfactorily, as common a phenomenon as it is. Are those in the audience who do not shed tears less humane, less sympathetic than those who bedew their handkerchiefs with tears, as I saw a score of women do the other evening in a playhouse. Now, as a matter of fact, when I see those lachrymose matrons and maids all about me I feel sorcelly inclined to laugh, and in saying this I risk being called an inhuman wretch, a monster and other complimentary terms. The reason I am inclined to mirth is twofold. First, I am naturally light of heart, and, second, there is nothing in unreal wretchedness that influences my emotions. The fictitious grief of the stage does not touch me a little bit, for I know the portrayer of the woe is only feigning. Here's another point: Will these good folk who cry their eyes out over a putup job of misery be equally as quick to dissolve in tears should they perchance run into the real article? I often wonder if the weepers in theaters are as readily touched by everyday manifestations of sure-enough suffering? and in saying this I risk being called an inhuman wretch, a monster and other complimentary terms.

A nation-wide agitation is being carried on in favor of a proper observance of the six-day working week, and every man and woman who works six days of the week should join in advocating a complete day of rest without any strings tied to it. Six-Day Working Week for All People By J. J. MAHONEY Chicago for All People By J. J. MAHONEY Chicago It is not a religious matter and there need be no differences of opinion. Ministers of all denominations are outspoken in favor of a closed Sunday, and only recently in Emporia, Kan., the ministers there declared in favor of Uncle Sam's taking the initiative by refusing to deliver mail at the postoffice on Sunday. The postoffice department is ever ready and willing to please all of the people all of the time, if possible, and it is to please the people that the department serves them on Sunday, and if it please the people the office will remain closed on Sunday. So it is up to the people. Those who are not employed on Sunday and who demand their right—a right to rest one day in seven—should not expect to receive their mail on Sunday.

At 7:30 there will be public reception of members, after which the Sacrament of Baptism will be administered, to be followed by the observance of the "Holy Eucharist." Beginning Monday night at 8 o'clock will be evangelistic services. Prayer and song service will commence at 7:30 every night. Among the subjects to be discussed are as follows: “Can a Man Be a Christian and Yet Not Know It?” “If a Man Does the Best He Can, Will He Be Saved?” “Can a Man Be a New Testament Christian Without Believing the Sonship of Christ?” “Can a Christian Be Absolutely Confident of the Forgiveness of His Sins. If So, How?” “The Unpardonable Sin Defined. Can a Man In This Life Know If He Has Committed It? If So, How?” “Must a Man First Become Good Before He Can Be a Christian?” “How Can a Man Know if He Has Been Born Again?” “Is It Absolutely Necessary To Belong to the Church To Be Saved?” “Do Good Churchmembers Do Wrong? If So, Why So?” “Would It Be Right for a Man to Unite With the Church Before He Is Sure He Can Remain Faithful?” Through the medium of these columns, all the Christian forces of Denver, including the pastors, are kindly invited to be present at these meetings and to use their Christian encaviors through prayer and influence for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Sinners are most cordially invited to bear these discourses. Perchance they too will find Jesus Christ. Last Sabbath was an unusually inspirational day for us at the People's Church. The music in the morning was soul-uplifting. The evening program was faultlessly rendered. Everybody enjoyed the services. During the past year we were under obligation to the friends of Denver for their timely assistance. We wish one and all a prosperous New Year.

When we get swell-headed in human pride of human knowledge our feathers are bound to fall if we think what posterity will think of us—judged by what we think of the knowledge of most of those before us. Jefferson and Voltaire not so long ago held a correspondence as to why sea shells were found on mountain tops, and whether such shells were not a spontaneous growth there never even dreaming that such mountain tops were once the bottom of the sea. Leibnits, writing to the queen of Prussia of the sun spots, cle aldthem "beauty spots," and used them as a courtly justification of the old queen's several court plaster patches on her royal mug. Kepler took the tides for the breathing of the earth, which he held to be a living animal. Blackmore went him one better by saying eruption of Mount Etna came from the world having a bad case of colic. Vacation Diversions in Maine Vacation Diversions in Maine. Francis F. Mitchell, a New York man on a vacation in Maine, had the surprise of his life the other day while driving along a road a few miles from Bangor. He was sitting back in the seat enjoying the beautiful scenery, when he was startled to see a frightened deer spring from the forest at the roadside and leap into the carriage, falling between the dashboard and the horse. The latter kicked until the vehicle was demolished. After both horse and deer had kicked about for three minutes the child of the forest managed to extricate itself and then ran back to its retreat, apparently none the worse for its experience. Women Smokers. The women smoker, far from being a result of a decadent civilization is merely a survival of a rougher and harder life. Even today the women who live the hardest lives compatible with twentieth century civilization smoke incessantly. Go into any tramps' lodging house and you will find not only old and young women, but bits of girls scarcely in their teens puffing contentedly, not at cigarettes, but clay pipes, charged with black twist tobacco. It is part of the etiquette of the "road" for the men after they have vigorously puffed a their "dudeens" to hand them to the woman tramps who have no supply. London Chronicle.

SUCH A BILL MAY BE PUT THROUGH AT THE PRESENT SESSION SETTLE TARIFF TROUBLE COMMISSIONERS' DUTIES AND SALARIES ARE TO BE PERMANENTLY FIXED. Washington.—Impetus to the movement for a permanent tariff commission was given by conferences at the White House and the capitol, the return of Representative Longworth of Ohio in Washington with a full draft of a bill creating a commission and by announcement of Chairman Payne of the house committee on ways and means that he expected such legislation before March 4th. Following a discussion with the President over various features of the legislative programme for this session, Mr. Payne announced he was sure a bill for such a commission, acceptable to the President, would be put through the Senate and House before this session ends. Later, at Mr. Payne's instance, he had a conference with Chairman Emery, of the tariff board, regarding the personnel and salaries of the proposed commission. Mr. Emery contended that the nature of the work and the character of the men the commission would need made it impossible to operate advantageously if positions and salaries were rigidly fixed by Congress, his idea being that these should be fixed by the commission itself. He suggested that industrial experts might have to be engaged for varying terms at various compensations. Mr. Payne believes there should be a legislative check to the aggregate expenditures, but is said to agree as to the necessity of freedom of action by the commission as to individual items. Embodying features of the tariff commission bills of Senators Beveridge of Indiana and LaFollette of Wisconsin, introduced at the last session of Congress, and of Congressmen Goode of Iowa and Lenroot of Wisconsin, introduced this session, Mr. Longworth, who is a member of the ways and means committee, has drawn a bill which he expects to introduce next week. It creates a commission of five members at $7,500 each and not more than three of the same political party, with offices at Washington, but empowered to meet anywhere. It is given wide powers of collection and collation of facts, without authority to make recommendations, and instead of making fixed reports, it can only report on special call of Congress or of the President. Its members are to appear with data before the Senate committee on finance or the House committee on ways and means, the two committees which have to do with tariff legislation. The commission is authorized to require confidential data from corporations as to any subject, but must never disclose the source and must especially safe-guard it from competitive interests. An important provision of the Longworth bill authorizes the commission to investigate the cost of production of all articles covered by the tariff, with special reference to the prices paid domestic and foreign labor, the prices paid for raw materials, whether domestic or imported. Mother Sells Son's Vote. West Union, Ohio.—Two new features developed in the session of the special grand jury investigating wholesale buying of votes in Adams county. One was that of a woman selling her son's vote and the other concerned a voter who was bought in three different ways. The woman lives in Peebles. She is accused of having accepted $5 for her son's franchise. Both mother and son were indicted, but neither has been arrested. English Wins Aerial Derby. Los Angeles, Calif.—England and France, in a speed coalition, defeated America in the first aerial derby ever run. James Radley, the British speed champion, in a French Bleriot monoplane, beat Eugene Ely, driving a Curtis racer, and Phil Parmalee, in a "baby" Wright, in an eight and three-quarter miles race. World's Record Beaten. New Orleans.-Rene Simon, aviator, broke the world's record for monoplanes when he circled mile track in 20-mile wind in 57 seconds flat. To Give Taft Exhibition. Washington.—Willie Hoppe, champion billard player of the world, is going to give an exhibition for President Taft. Since the White House has no bailard table, one will be taken to the White House for the purpose, but will not remain there. Japs Attack American Consul. Washington.—News of an assault on A. A. Williamson, the American vice consul at Dalny, Manchuria, reached the State Department. AND GO AHEAD SLOWLY. Philosopher—And now, after having reviewed all philosophy with you, there is only one law that I can lay down for your guidance. Student—What is that? Philosopher—When you are sure you are right, you should suspect that you are wrong. HIRAM CARPENTER'S WONDERFUL CURE OF PSORIASIS. "I have been afflicted for twenty years with an obstinate skin disease, called by some M. D.'s psoriasis, and others leprosy, commencing on my scalp; and in spite of all I could do, with the help of the most skilful doctors, it slowly but surely extended until a year ago this winter it covered my entire person in the form of dry scales. For the last three years I have been unable to do any labor, and suffering intensely all the time. Every morning there would be nearly a dust-panful of scales taken from the sheet on my bed, some of them half as large as the envelope containing this letter. In the latter part of winter my skin commenced cracking open. I tried everything, almost, that could be thought of, without any relief. The 12th of June I started West, in hopes I could reach the Hot Springs. I reached Detroit and was so low I thought I should have to go to the hospital, but finally got as far as Lansing, Mich., where I had a sister living. One Dr. — treated me about two weeks, but did me no good. All thought I had but a short time to live. I earnestly prayed to die. Cracked through the skin all over my back, across my ribs, arms, hands, limbs; feet badly swollen; toe-nails came off; finger-nails dead and hard as a bone; hair dead, dry and lifeless as old straw. O my God! how I did suffer. "My sister wouldn't give up; said, 'We will try Cuticura.' Some was applied to one hand and arm. Eureka! there was relief; stopped the terrible burning sensation from the word go. They immediately got Cuticura Resolvent, Ointment and Soap. I commenced by taking Cuticura Resolvent three time a day after meals; had a bath once a day, water about blood heat; used Cuticura Soap freely; applied Cuticura Ointment morning and evening. Result: returned to my home in just six weeks from the time I left, and my skin as smooth as this sheet of paper. Hiram E. Carpenter, Henderson, N. Y." The above remarkable testimonial was written January 19, 1880, and is republished because of the permanency of the cure. Under date of April 22, 1910, Mr. Carpenter wrote from his present home, 610 Walnut St. So., Lansing, Mich.: "I have never suffered a return of the psoriasis and although many years have passed I have not forgotten the terrible suffering I endured before using the Cuticura Remedies." Longitude and Dinner Time. About eleven o'clock one morning Aunt Dinah was peeling potatoes for dinner. "Now I reckon that all ober dis big wort' eberbody what's got anything to git a meal with is a-getin' ready for dinner," she placidly remarked. "Oh, no, Aunt Dinah," said Miss Nina. "In New York it's just about dinner time now, and out by the Rocky mountains it won't be dinner time for three hours yet." "Oh, my, Miss Nina! You plumb sure o' that?" "Plumb sure, Aunt Dinah." "Well, I'm mighty glad I lives in a Christian land, whar when it's 'leben o'clock it's 'leben o'clock, and we can't nebber git mixed up on the dinner time." Mrs. Roosevelt an Economist. Mrs. Roosevelt is said to have kept her gowns from one year to the next and even the third year, and yet was always beautifully dressed. The best-dressed woman in London is said to be Mrs. Keppell, who wears her gowns more than one season, having them made over for the second year, as her income does not allow of a great variety of gowns.

No Man is Stronger Than His Stomach A strong man is strong all over. No man can be strong who is suffering from weak stomach with its consequent indigestion, or from some other disease of the stomach and its associated organs, which impairs digestion and nutrition. For when the stomach is weak or diseased there is a loss of the nutrition contained in food, which is the source of all physical strength. When a man "doesn't feel just right," when he doesn't sleep well, has an uncomfortable place in landlord's nervor when he is feeding in the stomach after eating, is languid, nervous, irritable and despondent, he is losing the nutrition needed to make strength. Such a man should use Dr. Pierce's Discovery. It cures diseases of the stomach organs of digestion and nutrition. It enlivigates the liver, strengthens the kidneys, and so GIVES HEALTH AND THE WHOLE BODY. You can't afford to accept a secret nostrum as an alcoholic medicine or KNOWN COMPOSITION, not even may thereby make a little bigger profit.

As the story went, Yates once saw the doctor operate upon a man afflicted with blood poisoning, when he amputated the patient's leg. "I find Cascarets so good that I would not be without them. I was troubled a great deal with torpid liver and headache. Now since taking Cascarets Candy Cathartic I feel very much better. I shall certainly recommend them to my friends as the best medicine I have ever seen." "Do you think he'll recover, now?" asked Yates, after the operation was over.

Here is a useful device invented by a clever woman. It should have a place on every woman's sewing table. Get a block of wood two or three inches square, a double pointed tack (like the kind used in matting) and a small fold- ing reading or magnifying glass. Open the glass and lay the cover on top of the block of wood, let the glass project its full size over the size of the block, then fasten in place with the tack. If a block of wood is not ob- tainable use an empty spool of basting thread size. When you want to thread a small sized needle hold the needle and the thread under the glass and you will have no trouble in getting it through the eye. When you use the machine tip the block over near the needle and save time and trouble there also. ‘These blocks are invaluable for elderly women and those too busy to bother with threading and unthread- ing needles continually. A good plan 1s to thread before starting to sew all the needles with their different kinds of thread and silk that you are likely to have use for. TELEPHONE————————————MA IN 4140 JOHN J.
