THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY DR. BOOKER WASHINGTON Writes the Following Letter to the Liberian Register. He advises Liberians to get Riches of Nature and consume these Riches and not depend upon outside Nations to supply them with the necessities of Life. VOL. XVII. DR. BOO WASHI Writes the Following Letter He advises Liberians to consume these Riches a side Nations to supply sitities I read from time to time your paper with a great deal of interest and profit. I am glad to note the same advice which you give to the people of Liberia from time to time. No one, not even the citizens of Liberia, is more interested in the progress and success of the Republic than I am. One thing I consider fundamental. It is this. No matter how much aid or encouragement Liberia may receive from outside sources whether in the form of money, advice or service, permanent success, and therefore permanent independence, cannot be achieved unless all the people in Liberia realize that it is with a nation as with an individual, the nation must earn more than it spends otherwise it will go into bankruptcy sooner or later. A nation must export more than it imports or financial disaster follows. This means but one thing, that the Liberian people should try to get their living out of the natural resources of their country instead of depending on any extent upon the resources of foreign countries. Everytime a Liberian eats a tin of canned goods imported from any other country, it means poverty for the Liberians; it means that the Liberians are paying somebody else to manufacture the tin cans, paying somebody else to put the goods in the tin cans, are paying the freight upon the cans, and all this of course means money taken out of Liberia. I very much wish that in Liberia there might be something of the old time New England spirit in regard to a consumption of home products. I wish that the leading Liberians might set the fashion and therefore create a public sentiment that would make it fashionable and desirable for Liberians to eat, with little exception, only that which they can produce in their own county. Here in Tuskegee our teachers and students are encouraged to have their meals composed as often as possible of things which are produced on our own farm and in our own country. I have frequently gone into our dining room where we have over 1,600 students and teachers boarding, and have found practically nothing upon the tables but what has been grown upon our own farm by the hands of our own students. Personally nothing gives me more delight and satisfaction than to have on my own table poultry, vegetables and other products which I have raised with my own hands in my own garden. I value this much more highly than anything produced by the hands of others which I might purchase. Liberians must in an increasing degree, it seems to me, go into the soil, go into the water, go into the forests, and get out the riches of nature and consume these riches and not debend upon outside nations to supply them with the necessities of life. All this means another thing, and that is, that a large proportion of the brightest men and women should receive scientific, technical and industrial education in order to enable them to understand and master these natural resources to the extent that these riches right about their feet can be gotten out and used in the markets of the Republic. No matter how many loans Liberia may secure, unless this policy is pursued financial and other embarrassments will be the result. I am glad to note that in your paper as well as in other publications of Liberia that there is an increasing tendency in the direction to wich I have referred. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON, Tuskegee, Alabama. WINS LITERARY PRIZE Ithaca, May 2.—It has been announced the prix d'honneur in the competition for literary prizes offered by the Society of French Professors of America has been awarded to James B. Clarke, the Cornell Negro Student whose article on the Negro question at Cornell provoked a storm of comment. It resulted in the anti-Negro petition of the coeds and brought out the statement by President Schurman that Negro women had a perfect right to live in Sage College. The prize is for French essay writing and also for translation of the works of a French author. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MAY 13 1911. Clark also won several other French prizes. Other winners were Clayton J. Buttery, of Ripley and J F. Kline. Clarke is a junior in the College of Arts and comes from the West Indies. The annual contest for the Woodford prize in oratory, the highest public speaking prize in the gift of the university, was won by George Morris Wolfson of New York, a senior in the College of Arts and Sciences. There were six contestants, all from the senior class. Wolfson spoke on "Optimism in Literature." The prize consists of a gold medal valued at $100 and is the gift of Gen. Stewart L. Woodford. 2500 CONVERSIONS IN 8 WEEKS Norfolk, Va., May 2.—All Norfolk is wild with religious excitement. Thousands of white people stand around the Bank street Baptist Church unable to ger in, while hundreds of young converts join with hundreds of older Christians in working over from three to five hundred mourners. Last week was the most wonderful ever known in the religious history of Norfolk. Beginning with Sunday, when there were fifty-one converts, the number of conversions rose higher as the week went by, until by Saturday night 912 had made a profession of, religion in the church. Monday night there were 109, Tuesday 97, Wednesday 113, Thursday 232, Friday night 296, Saturday 26. Up to date there have been about 2,500 conversions in this one church alone; 250 have already been baptised, and there are 250 awaiting baptism Sunday, while it is probable from the number who are joining nightly that there will be about 1,000 additions. Many of the leading white pastors are attending the meetings. The saloons, of which there are a great many in the colored neighbor hoods are deserted. In one case the barkeeper was converted and gave up his job, and in another the keeper of the pool tables gave up a $25 a job because he was converted. NEGRO SCHOOL GETS $2,500 St. Louis, Mo., May 1.—Rabbi Samuel Sale, president of the Board of directors of the Dunbar Normal Agricultural and Industrial Institute for Negro boys and girls of Missouri, received a contribution of $2500 from Julius Rosenwarld, the millionaire philanthropist of Chicago, who is taking a deep interest in the education of Negroes and has recently donated liberally toward the erection of buildings for the Negro branch of the Y. M. C. A. in several cities. The Dunbar Normal, Agricultural and Industrial Institute, which is being promoted by Rev. W. D. A. Tenerable, has an option on 1660 acres of land near Jonesburg, Mo., where the school is to be es tablished. Adolphus Busch gave $1000 toward the funds of the school last week, and many St. Louis capitalists are subscribers. CLASSIFICATION OF THE RACES OF THE WDRLD CLASSIFICATION OF THE RACES OF THE WDRLD So much is being said concerning the "yellow peril" and of the increasing intelligence of all of the dark races that a brief summary of the population of the world as divided between the white and the dark races is peculiarly interesting. The whites include the Hindus, Persians, Greeks, Latins, Celts and Anglo Saxons, or all the people of Aryan stock, who number approximately 690,000,000, while the dark or colored races include 630,-000,000. Mongolian, or yellow people; 150,000,000 Negro, or black; 35,000,000 Malay or brown, and 15,000,000 Indian or red a total of 830,000,000 people of the dark races as compared with 690,-000,000 whites. The difference of 140,000,000 in favor of the dark races seems to be a cause of serious apprehension in certain parts of the world, and it is thought that the militant stride of the Japanese will be copied by the Chinese and prove a source of inspiration to the other dark races. From every quarter of the globe comes disquieting news. Even in this country, where the Negroes gave 240 or more years of unrequited toil, they are treated as aliens, and through the process of elimination on account of color they share the humiliation of the Japanese and Chinese. But the dark skinned people throughout the entire world are awakening. The cloud of ignorance is rapidly passing away before a favorable breeze of intelligence. They are asking the whites for a square deal, and it is feared by the "alarmist" that within the course of a few years, the request will grow more insistant and finally take the form of a demand. After that what?—Washington American. Beethoven's Flits of Rage. Beethoven's Pits or Rage. His behavior was often atrocious. In giving lessons to young ladies he would sometimes tear the music to pieces and scatter it about the floor, or even smash the furniture. Once when playing in company there was some interruption. "I play no longer for such hogs," he cried, and left the plano. He once called Prince Lobkowitz an ass because a bassoon player happened to be absent.—Dole, "Famous Composers." RACE NEWS A dairy lunch room is being established in the capitol. A bill has been introduced in Congress to restrict the service to white patrons. Senator W. O. Bradley, of Kentucky, has introduced a bill to appropriate $250,000 to aid in holding an exposition in celebration of the semi centennial anniversary of the freedom of the Negroes in this country.

Cincinnati, Ohio, May 1—Cincinnati is to have an exclusive theatre for colored patrons, according to the plans of Colonel Edward Hart, who yesterday secured a ten-year lease on the old Lyceum playhouse, on the west side of Central avenue, near Fifth, through Broker Oliver E.

Thomas. ceased colored soldiers of the civil war which was in the hands of the commissioners and Freedmen's Bureau, and has been repaid into the treasury of the United States," shall be appropriated for the establishment of the "home" and the industrial farm. The home is to be in the district and the farm will be located in Virginia. Rev. James L. White is vigorously pushing the bill. Winnipeg, Man, May 2.—No Negroes, no color problem—that is the opinion of the board of trade of Winnipeg. Yesterday afternoon at a meeting of the body, the question of permitting colored immigrants to enter Canada was thoroughly discussed, and the upshot of the discussion was that Negroes should be absolutely barred. The board was severe in its criticism of the colored people, and a strong resolution worded in definite terms was adopted. Assemblyman Cuvillier has recently introduced a bill in the legislature at Albany, N. Y., providing for the organization of a regiment of colored men. The measure has already received the favorable consideration of the war department. The colored citizens of New York city and vicinity have been advocating such a measure for the past six months. The addition of a regiment of a thousand colored soldiers to the national guard of New York will mean much. Fort Collins, Colo., May 8. Because they objected to the language applied to them by their foreman and because they could not keep the pace set by a Negro concrete wheeler, twenty-five men employed by the Seerie Brothers, a Denver contracting firm working on the Union Pacific roundhouse and freight depot, struck today. They demanded an increase of 5 cents per hour and the removal of the Negro from the job. A row was narrowly averted when, according to the strikers, the foreman struck one of the workmen and unfavorably compared them with the Negro. Washington.—Senator Lodge of Massachusetts has introduced a bill for the establishment of a national memorial home for aged and infirm colored people and working girls, and of an industrial farm for boys. The measure provides that the "two hundred thousand and dollars due the estates of de- NO 35 ceased colored soldiers of the civil war which was in the hands of the commissioners and Freedmen's Bureau, and has been repaid into the treasury of the United States," shall be appropriated for the establishment of the "home" and the industrial farm.

Winnipeg, Man, May 2.—No Negroes, no color problem—that is the opinion of the board of trade of Winnipeg. Yesterday afternoon at a meeting of the body, the question of permitting colored immigrants to enter Canada was thoroughly discussed, and the upshot of the discussion was that Negroes should be absolutely barred. The board was severe in its criticism of the colored people, and a strong resolution worded in definite terms was adopted. Sioux City, Ia.—The Chicago and Northwestern railway has recently been trying out an innovation in its dining car service which thus far has brought most successful results according to officials of the road. Negro waiters have been eliminated on the cafe-parlor car operated between Chicago and Sioux City, Ia., on trains No. 20 and 17 for the last six months, and in their places a white man and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Garnier, have been placed in complete charge of the car. Mr. Garnier dispensed with the colored waiters and has himself acted as conductor and assistant waiter while Mrs. Garnier has served as waitress. The segregation ordinance recently passed by the Richmond (Va.) City Council is already giving much trouble, and it is interfering seriously with the rental of much property. In some blocks, where white people wish to rent they cannot do so on account of these conditions, and in other blocks, where colored people would rent a similar condition prevails. As a result, much property remains vacant, and much more will be in a similar condition when September comes. This kind of proscriptive legislation is a two-edged sword, which cuts both ways and which returns to plague the inventor. God's ways are past finding out, and He has so fixed immutable laws as to protect the lowly and the distressed and to work to the betterment of the conditions of the poor and the lowly. Planet.

EIGHTEENTH GENERAL ASSEM BLY QUITS WITHOUT NAMING HUGHES SUCCESSOR VAILE WAS HIGH MAN LARGE ENTHUSIASTIC CROWDS WITNESS CLOSING SCENES OF THE SESSION. Necessary to choice 51. Highest Democratic vote for one candidate, Speer 34. Total ballots cast 103. The last night the House chamber was filled to the doors with people who gathered to witness the final round in the senatorial fight. Not only was there no standing room in the galleries, but the floor of the House was filled solid back of the seats of the members, and people were standing two deep along the aisles. It was a most demonstrative crowd, but feeling seemed to be evenly divided. Applause came for every speaker, but by far the greatest excitement came when Senator McCue rose from his seat after his name had been suggested by one of the Adams' senators, and declared that he had but one choice, and that while Mr. Speer was in the race he was not a candidate. When the assembly was called to order Senator McCue moved that seven ballots be taken, and that if no choice was made the assembly adjourn. This motion was seconded by Senator Adams. The seven ballots was decided upon at a conference of representatives of the two factions. The balloting began at about 8:30 and was followed with closest interest by the crowd. The first ballot Speer received 31 votes. The Republicans cast all of their votes for Roof, giving him a total of 34. The anti-caucus Democrats went to Ammons, giving him 34 votes. Durfee and Garman were absent. Those who voted for Speer on this ballot were Gove, Hecker, Hills, Irby, McCue, Napier, Sharpley, Twinning, Van Tilborg, Allen, Bacon, Bott, Dowd, Garrett, Gridenburg, Hollenbeck, (Teller), Homer, Jones, Kerwin, Lafferty, Lindquist, MacKenzie, McCarty, McLachlan, McPolin, Pearson, Proske, Roberts, Slattery, Tovey, Walbridge. Total 31. Before the second roll call Garman and Durfee came in and both voted for Speer, bringing his total up to 33. The anti-caucus Democrats cast 34 votes for O'Donnell, which is about as near as this aspirant for senatorial honors ever came to the toga. The Republicans cast 34 votes for Goudy on this ballot. The Republicans cast their 34 votes for Dawson and the anti-caucus faction cast 32 votes for Adams. The fifth ballot showed no change. Speer retaining his 34 votes. Ward received 32 votes from the anti-caucus faction, and Northcutt received the full strength of the Republican vote. On the sixth ballot Speer still retained the vote of a majority of his party. O'Donnell received 31 votes. Ashton of Pueblo, who evidently felt that the opportunity for bestowing compliments upon his friends should not be overlooked, cast a vote for J. Knox Burton, Republican. Dulin, a Republican, cast a vote for Leslie M. Randolph, the other 33 Republican votes going to Waterman. Without a break in the list, on the seventh ballot, the Speer men stood fast, and when the roll call was completed Speer had 33 votes. Metz went back to Adams on this vote. The Republicans cast their votes solidly for Joel F. Vaile, one of the candidates who will be to account for when the Legislature next ballots on a United States senator. When it was clear to all that no choice had been made, Senator Carringer changed his vote, casting it for John F. Shafroth. Representative Durfee, who had voted for Speer all evening, also changed his vote, casting his final ballot for Maupin, the man for whom he had voted on the opening day of the session.

IS AN INDIAN QUEEN MOTHER OF SENATOR OWEN IS MOST REMARKABLE WOMAN. Daughter of Last Great Hereditary Chief of the Cherokees and Lineal Descendant of Queen Quatisis— Is Highly Educated. Seated comfortably in her chair in her apartments in Washington Mrs. Narcissa Owen, one of the most remarkable women of our country, looks back upon her years with genuine contentment and satisfaction. She is the mother of two stalwart sons. The older, William Owen, is a retired major in the United States army, and the younger, Robert Owen, is now the junior senator from Oklahoma. Mrs. Owen is a descendant of the Cherokee Indians and were that famous band to revert to its original customs she would be hailed as the hereditary ruler of the tribe. She is the daughter of the last great hereditary chief of the Cherokees and is the lineal descendant of Queen Quatis, after whom she is named. The father of Mrs. Owen was a full-blooded Cherokee, and her mother was 'the daughter of a Virginia family. She A. Mrs. Narcissa Owen. was born 79 years ago in the midst of war and bloodshed, when her father was leading the Cherokees against the invading Osages. Chief Hiel Steky-Yearle, the father of Mrs. Owen, was by no means an ignorant savage. He was one of the most learned and accomplished Indians of history. He was well educated and had fluent command of English and French. He was well known in the east, where he passed under the name of Colonel Chisholm. When a young woman Mrs. Owen, then Quatisis Chisholm, came east and married Col. Robert Owen, a handsome young civil engineer. Her romance was a happy one and to her two sons, besides their English names of William and Robert, she gave the Indian names of Cau-lun-na and Oconosta, meaning "The Raven" and "The Groundhog." Her sons are known by these names among the Cherokees of today. Mrs. Owen has been well educated and she takes her pleasure and enjoyment from all the finer things of life. She is especially interested in painting and spends a great deal of her time before the easel sketching landscapes and portraits. Her painting of Thomas Jefferson and his descendants was awarded a medal at the St. Louis exposition. Mrs. Owen is now well nigh 80 and is a wonderfully preserved woman for her age. CARRY GOSPEL TO TOURISTS Scriptural Texts Mixed With Scenery on the Way to Historic Mount Vernon. Tourists bound for Mount Vernon to see the home and tomb of Washington and bon vivants who travel down the river from the capital to Marshall hall for planked shad now have scriptural texts mixed with their scenery. As the boats steam by the long bridge and approach Jones' Point on the walls of the old lighthouse the passengers see: "Your sins will find you out." "The wages of sin is death." "Keep holy the Sabbath day." These were lettered by the Rev. John Cavanaugh, who says that on Sundays, particularly, excursionists on the river steam by while he is preaching in the Free Methodist church to a small congregation. "I thought," he said in explanation of the painted texts, "if they would not come to me I would take the gospel to them." Are Still Dying Thomas Jefferson's body servants are still dying. One died at his home here in Washington a few days ago. His name was James Coleman, and he declared that he was born in Richmond in 1807, and that he was a slave until the time of the emancipation proclamation. After that he continued working for his master, and kept on working for the same family until the last member of it was dead. He was one of the few remaining types of the old southern negro. He had been blind for some 15 years. One of his boasts was that he had served Thomas Jefferson, and he knew many of the men of that period. GETS THE LAUGH ON CLARK Gardner of Massachusetts Injects & Bit of Humor Into the House Proceedings. Representative Gardner of Massachusetts, who is normally a serious minded man, injected a bit of humor into the proceedings of the house the other day. Mr. Gardner had five minutes in which to make remarks on the Canadian reelcity bill. He asked unanimous consent to print in the Record a statement embodying the terms of a law recently passed by the New Brunswick parliament placing an export tax on raw materials. Representative Clark of Florida objected. This put Mr. Gardner to the necessity of reading the New Brunswick law. He proceeded to read it at the rate of 900 words a minute or more, not a syllable that he uttered being intelligible. The house laughed and applauded. Mr. Clark appealed to the chair to call Mr. Gardner to order. "This jargon is unintelligible," he said. "Members are entitled to know what is going on in debate." Representative Sherley of Kentucky, who was in the chair, repiled that there was no rule that had a bearing on the case. "The rules do not prescribe how a member shall speak," he said. "It is for the member to decide that question himself." "Well, this is merely a circus and the gentleman from Massachusetts is appearing in the principal role," said Mr. Clark. Mr. Gardner was going ahead with his rapid fire reading when his time expired. Five more minutes were yielded to him and he then read with deliberation. By this time Mr. Clark was in conversation with a fellow member. "I would like to have the attention of the gentleman from Florida," said Mr. Gardner. Mr. Clark walked over to the Republican side, Mr. Gardner coming down the aisle to meet him, Mr. Clark took a seat. Mr. Gardner then read directly to Mr. Clark, bowing gravely to the Florida member when he had concluded. Mr. Clark returned the salutation. Members laughed and applauded Mr. Gardner. DISRUPTS HOUSE WITH FEET Arkansas Member's Posture at Desk Causes Furore Among His Confreres. H. M. Jacoway, a new member from Arkansas, probably will never again cross his legs over the top of his desk during a session of the house. He assumed that posture of comfort the other day, and, though he failed to notice it himself, came near disrupting orderly procedure in the lower branch of congress. The house hasn't always been so dignified. Older members remember when Dockery of Missouri actually removed his shoes. But it seemed to nettle some of the colleagues of the gentleman from Arkansas. However, nobody would take upon himself the responsibility of informing the offender. He sat comfortably in his seat and engaged himself pleasantly in taking his own temperature with a pocket thermometer. Finally, after numerous conferences, Representative Clark of Florida requested the assistant sergeant-at-arms to tell Jacoway that five or six hundred persons in the galleries, to say nothing of the members themselves, were having their attention distracted by his feet. The sergeant-at-arms performed the duty politely. Jacoway smiled, removed his feet and a sigh of relief went up all over the chamber. The Jacoway feet, it should be mentioned, could not properly be placed under the classification of dainties. OLD UNCLE SAM TOO HONEST Has Already Spent $200 in Effort to Return $10 to an Innocent Postmaster. During the last seven years the post office department at Washington has spent $200 in a fruitless attempt to pay a debt of $10. The creditor has not been located and the officials of the department have no reason to believe that he will be found in the next seven years, but they will keep the search going. George W. Weart, postmaster at Deal, N. J., in 1903, paid the government $10 to make good the loss of a package. Two years later the package was found and an investigation showed that it never arrived at Deal. In the meantime Mr. Weart died. Then the long chase started. His only heirs were two sons, both of whom had gone west. James T. Weart, the older son, was traced through the middle west, but all trace of him was lost at Bakersville, Cal. Another son, George S. Weart, was believed to have been located in Butte, Mont., during the latter part of December, but the letter came back unopened. Hand-Shaking Season Opens. The president has already begun his spring session of handshaking with large numbers of tourists. Every spring Washington becomes the mecca for thousands of school children from near-by cities and it is no uncommon thing for several hundred of them to make a week-end trip to Washington to see the sights and shake hands with the president. The president has probably had a dozen such parties call upon him since last fall. The real spring rush has begun, however, and from this time on he will be besieged constantly by strangers, most of them in tow of or bearing a letter from some member of congress PLAN TO NAME PARK "HOOPER" MAY GIVE NAME OF LIVING MAN TO PARK NEAR PALISADE. FOR WOMAN SUFFRAGE TAYLOR INTRODUCES RESOLUTION PROPOSING CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT. Washington. Delay in the issuance of a proclamation establishing the boundaries of the new monument park near Palisade has been caused by the objection of the department to giving it the name of any living man. The Grand Junction Chamber of Commerce selected the name of "Hooper," in honor of General Passenger Agent S. K. Hooper, of the Denver & Rio Grande, and this name was laid before the department by Representative Taylor. The Colorado congressman spent several hours at the Interior Department arguing the matter with officials and, while no assurances were given, it is believed the proclamation will be issued designating the 2,000-acre withdrawal as Hooper - National Monument park. The interior department suggested that if the name of a living man were to be used it should be that of John Otto, of Pallisade, father of the "Sunbeam Trails," constructed through the region. Representative Taylor has introduced a resolution proposing an amendment to the constitution of the United States, extending the right of suffrage to women. Mr. Taylor says universal suffrage has proved a success in all of the states where it has been adopted, and he believes the right of suffrage should be extended to women in all of the states. Senator Guggenheim has been advised by the commissioner of Indian affairs that the Jicarilla Indians will be permitted to dispose of the timber on their reservation, under restrictions that will insure them the benefit of the money derived from its sale. The commissioner states that while the timber on the reservation is the main resource of the Indians, he realizes that live stock grazing is the only means of self-support for the Indians. Recently 335,000 acres of grazing lands were added to the reservation for the use of the Indians for winter pasture for their stock. It is estimated there is over 400,000,000 feet of merchantable timber on the reservation. The sale of this timber will be permitted, and the proceeds devoted to purchasing sheep for the Indians. In cutting the timber and marketing it, Indian labor will be employed as far as practicable. The commissioner says the Jicarilla Indians are doing good work in the lumber camps and at the sawmills where employed. The tribe is decreasing because of the extent of tuberculosis, but physicians and nurses are being sent among the Indians and an attempt is being made to check the disease. Pending the investigation of the charges of mismanagement which have been made against him, Hans M. Randolph has been suspended as superintendent of the Mesa Verde National Park. Senator Warren has been notified by the Pension Bureau that an original pension of $15 monthly has been granted John M. Bonine of Worland, Wyo. Rebels Capture Juarez. El Paso.—Juarez has fallen. General Navarro, who telegraphed the war department at Mexico City that he would hold the town as long as a man in his army was alive, took refuge in the barracks, where for a time it seemed that he would make good his promise. But when the fresh reserves of Colonel Blanco advanced to the support of Orosco's weary veterans, the federal commander decided that he could hold out no longer. A white flag fluttered above the barracks, the federal fire ceased and the most important battle of the Mexican revolution was over. The fighting in and near Juarez had lasted through parts of three days. The rebel victory was not secured without loss of life on the American side of the line as well as the battlefield. The dead may number nearly eighty, while nearly 130 have been wounded, many of them fatally. The casualties on the American side of the line number four killed and sixteen wounded.

Colorado is to have but one United States senator until the next regular session of her Legislature, and that sole representative in the highest legislative body of the Nation is Senator Guggenheim, a Republican. The Democratic contest in the eighteenth session of the Legislature was a battle to the death and the session ended without an election. The deadlock was unbroken and unbreakable merely because the Legislature was Democratic. The Democratic party in Colorado is rotten with vicious leaderships. The good there is in it is the prey of the bad, and together they make a sorry mess of the public duties for the performance or non-performance of which the state must pay handsomely. We re-assert that Republicans have too much regard for the welfare of the state to furnish any such spectacle. Fortunately Colorado has an able, influential and reliable man in Senator Guggenheim to look after her every interest in the upper branch of Congress and to advise the administration upon her graver needs. The record he has made has convinced the people of his state of his great worth as a sound and conservative statesman, and the responsibility imposed upon him by the failure of the Democratic Legislature to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Senator Hughes, will vastly increase the respect of his constituency, which already acknowledges the inestimable value of his labors. PREJUDICE AT THE BOTTOM. MANY of our good white American brothers always keep their prejudice of race before them, but the solons of the lower house of the Legislature of South Carolina have gone on record as having put their prejudice behind them. In other words, they endeavored to sit upon it, but it burned through their trousers until it made them warm in their seats and finally hot in their collars, and then they did something heroic. By resolution they decided to discard their old desks and chairs and replace them with new. It was urged that the dignity of the state was suffering from the shabbiness of the furniture, and that no man could be asked to sit at a desk and in a chair that had been desecrated by Negro occupancy some years ago. So they bought new desks and chairs at $25 and agreed to sell the old to themselves at $3, for use in their parlors and offices at home, says the New York Independent. Now, we wonder what difference in reality there is between the chair that a Negro official sits in and the office that he fills. Why don't these sensitive white solons decline the office that a Negro has filled before them, or abolish it altogether? Why don't they tear down the state house and build a new e and make it impossible for another Negro official to enter it? Why don't they—but what's the use? The foolish things that race prejudice is responsible for so outnumber the wise things that their perpetrators do that no surprise may be felt nor shame expressed over their incongruity. IT does not pay any nation to keep a part of its population in a state of political and social thrallidom. The slave, the serf, the peon, the peasant and all the other under orders of civilization become the most fertile soil in which the seeds of anarchy and revolution can be sown. True, that these under orders do not often produce the leaders of great revolts, but they furnish the most desperate and dangerous followers, for whom leaders will eventually and inevitably be found. Ignorance is a mighty handicap and well do selfish and conscienceless rulers know it. But though it may be maintained for centuries, ignorance is not everlasting, and in time, the drift of events is sure to work its dissipation. The world is coming to realize this more and more, and universal enlightenment is gradually making the governments of the world more free and consequently more secure. The nations which are slowest to yield the boon of universal freedom and equal opportunity to their subjects are today the most restless and tormented of nations of the earth. Russia has an interminable problem in her legions of persecuted Jews and other peasantry. Certain religious differences heighten her difficulties, and not even the world's havens for her refugees can relieve her from the heritage of hatred which she is sowing and reaping and must continue to reap. reaping and the more nearer object lesson in the insurrection now raging in our sister republic of Mexico. There we have the example of the arbitrary rule of wealth and aristocracy of a government nominally republican in form. But the population of Mexico has never been entirely free. Semi-military rule has marked the long regime of President Diaz, who is admittedly a better ruler than were his immediate predecessors. For years the affairs of government have been arbitrarily dictated to perpetuate the power of the wealthy class without due regard for the liberties or the opportunities of the poor. A large peon population has remained in a state of dense ignorance and in an impoverished industrial and social condition, as near slavery as possible, while escaping that stigma in name. Mining is the chief industry of Mexico, and under the neonage system, the principal source of all her wealth. and, under these mines this vast under population has drudged and slaved for generations, earning scarcely enough to provide the necessities of life and none of the luxuries. Naturally under these conditions the laws of the country were definite, and what they lacked was supplied by the military will of a president-dictator and his cabinet. Such power is always abused and extended to others than the hordes of lower victims. The elections were controlled by the military officers, always in the interest of the presidential incumbent. Discontent spread among the ambitions of the wealthy class who were forced to suppress their ambitions, and outrage heaped upon outrage led up to the insurrection now in progress. Now the main portion of the fighting columns of the rebel army is made up from the poorer classes of the population among whom the peons are the most willing and the most desperate. They have nothing to lose and all to gain. A significant feature of the insurrection is the organization and maintenance in this country of what is known as the liberal junta, consisting of an element which is not only opposed to Diaz, but not at all satisfied with Madero, the head of the insurrectionist army, as provisional president of a re-organized republic, should the war be won by them. They class Madero with the aristocrats, where he undoubtedly belongs, although he is now fighting for liberal laws and fair elections. What these high-browed gentlemen have so long enjoyed and finally fallen out about is not exactly what the great body of the insurrectos are fighting for, and the war is not apt to end until the peon knows that he is either free or absolutely deserted. In either case, the record he is making against his former masters will win him greater respect and a larger freedom than he has ever before known, and this will be the beginning of his ultimate emancipation. Every Woman Should Be Her Own Boss By MOLLY MATTHEWS HAT woman isn't tired of being bossed around by some one over her in business affaire? T I am not talking about women in general, but the women who are bread winners. To boss or be bossed in private life is something to be settled in friendly compact or by the divorce courts. But there is an increasing army of women toilers who must either work up into a position of independence or settle down to be dumb driven cattle, and then some. What the business woman needs today is a firm determination to have a little business all her own. Why should she be content to be bossed about year in and year out? These must be some one thing she can learn to do well enough to be a master. If she is now working in a dressmaking shop there is no reason in the world why she should not set up a little shop of her own as soon as she is sure she knows the game thoroughly. The other women had pluck enough to do this. Why shouldn't she? Fear of failure is the bane of the woman wage earner. She has ability, is faithful and energetic. But she is fearful. And fear spells long hours of toil to build up another's reputation instead of her own. Cast fear to the winds and start out for yourself. Even though she does not branch out for herself, the woman who is working for a living has it in her power to become a law unto herself. She can do this by making herself competent for the position she is filling. She must become an authority, a living encyclopedia, if necessary, of the subject matter before her. The boss doesn't want to trouble himself over means, if the results are all right. There are no questions asked if the returns foot up all right at night. Overconfidence is rash in any line of work. Incompetent people often get things badly tangled up because they go ahead when they should follow instructions implicitly. But I would have every woman taste the joys of competency. And competency comes from knowledge and practice. The woman who scrubs floors thoroughly is a treasure today who need never be out of work. The stenographer who can leave gum chewing alone long enough to master pronunciation and the old-fashioned art of spelling correctly will always keep an employer, and the girl who can keep her pompadour in order and still sell goods to the patient woman in waiting will not have to be chasing up employment agencies. Just be competent. That is the secret of success in can complain if you have done your work well. No one can nag you if your tasks are done on time. No one can browbeat you if you look your work squarely in the face and do it honestly. Mary Kate Above all, watch for a chance to become your own boss. Taste the sweets of fitting your own latch key into the front door of your own place of business every morning. You can own a shop all your own if you work out your own salvation. The cities of Europe are better governed than ours, for the very good reason that their representative citizens in all walks of life—merchants, bankers, shipowners, financiers and educators—have a keener sense of their civic duties than the so-called better classes in American communities usually betray. Cities of Europe Are Best Cities of Europe Are Best Governed By Thomas F. Anderson In other words, the influential and substantial citizens of European cities are more willing to give their time, thought and in many instances their money, to the public service, than are ours; and the result is that while they oftimes have to make real sacrifices of comfort, convenience and peace of mind in thus discharging their civic obligations, they have the immense satisfaction of knowing that administrative scandal and corruption are practically unknown in their communities. You will sometimes find in large European cities unkempt streets, poor traffic arrangements and other indications of municipal carelessness or inefficiency, but rarely will you discover any evidence or hear any whisper of that familiar condition of things known in our American cities by that elastic and greatly overworked word, "graft." We Americans pride ourselves on our national tendency to hustle and engage in the strenuous life, but the busiest man I ever met was not an American at all, but an Englishman, who, in addition to bearing the responsibilities of his own private business, was at that time serving both as lord mayor of his city and as chairman of the great local dock and barbor board. When I called on him he showed me his list of official and social engagements for that week, and it appeared to be almost as long as the membership list of the new Boston Merchants' association. The corresponding type of citizen in the United States really means to do the right thing by his community, but he balks when it comes to the supreme test of his public spirit—the willingness to take up the burden himself instead of delegating it to some one else, for whose election he is quite willing to contribute his money and influence. This, together with the more stringent electoral requirements that prevail in many foreign communities is the whole secret of the success of municipal government The T. T. Anaconda If one were to descend in an aeroplane from a height of 10,000 feet on the same spiral on which he went up he would land where he started. If Man Were to Drop From Great Height By M. T. IRONS It is impossible to tell how high the atmosphere reaches. Its height has been calculated to be from 40 to 100 miles above the earth's crust and every particle of it is attracted by gravitation downward toward the center of the earth. In other words, the atmosphere travels with the earth at the same rate that the earth's surface travels. If that were not the case the rotation of the earth would afford us a splendid medium for transportation, as we could travel around the globe by going straight up in the air and remaining there for that length of time. This would smash all transportation records. S&H CARMENT STORE 925-16TH ST.

PERMANENT MUSICAL ORGANI: ZATION. | ‘The Board of Directors of the above organization met at Dr. B. L. Faulk ner's office Monday. evening last, al 8:30 for the transaction of business After the minutes were read and confirmed, suggestions were offered relative to the naming of the organi: zation, which resulted in the selection of “Queen City Musical Association.” ‘The president, Attorney W. B. ‘Townsend, in proceeding with the or der of business appointed a commit }tee on constitution and by-laws for the proper working of the association. Very able remarks were made by Drs.

In classt fying the voices an array of good tal ent was discovered, which was more than pleasing to the director, when he started vocalizing with the sixteen sopranos, twelve altos, seven tenors and five basses present. Practical hints in the care of the voice and first lessons in breathing were given by the instructor, who specially urged the necessity of strict obedience to nature's laws in voice- building and continuous home _ prac- ‘tice, Instructions in the rudiments of ‘music will be given by various teach- ers in the city from 8 to 8:30 on meet- ing nights. ‘The public is cordially invited to at- tend these practices so as to keep in touch with the progress of the organt- zation. ‘The chorus is open to the public for ‘memberghip until May 81st, after which tim: the officers, ete., will be appointed. ~The next meeting will be held at the ‘residence of Mr. Rankford G.

The philosophy of the observation might have been greatly strengthening if the sage had thought to add that no United States senator is any great shakes to a senate page. There is a popular impression that the senate pages are studious youth with bulging foreheads, learned in the Constitution and deep in the mysteries of senate precedents. These wrong impressions about the high constitutional atmosphere that surrounds a senate page come naturally enough from the superficial observation of visitors in the gallery. Looking down from there it is easy to suppose that when a senator claps his hands and a page hurries noiselessly to his side and inclines a respectful ear, that the fortunate youth is receiving information of the highest import. Doubtless he will write it down THERE is a mistaken idea ever present in the mind of a brand-new legislator when he arrives at Washington that all his stationery and stationery supplies will be furnished free. Hardly has he been shown through the capitol by some older colleague than he becomes acquainted with the fact that down in the basement of the big gray building there is one of the most complete stationery stores in the United States. He is astonished at the cheapness of everything and marvels at the fact that there he can buy a thousand sheets of the finest linen paper, bearing at the top in deep old English engraved lettering the inscription, "House of Representatives, United States, Washington," for $2.40. He can get a high grade, fine finished cotton paper for $1.88 per thousand, engraving included, and another grade with handsome lithograph superscription for $1. Later the congressman is told the reason for this, and along with that information it is explained to him that his stationery allowance will be $125. The reason for the cheapness of everything in capitol stationery headquarters is that the stationery store makes not a shadow of profit. Another cause for remark in the sta- CAPT. JOHN M. BOWYER, U. S. N., superintendent of the naval academy at Annapolis, at the direction of the secretary of war has apologized to Prof. Henry A. Beers of Yale university and Miss Katherine Beers, his daughter, for the recent incident at Annapolis in which an attempt was made to exclude Miss Beers from social functions because she was earning her own living. The incident aroused a big stir in capital circles, and Representative Korbly of Indiana brought the matter up in the house, charging that snobbery was a growing evil at the academy that called for immediate action. President Taft interested himself in the matter and directed Secretary Meyer to make a thorough investigation. According to the investigation, made THE Smithsonian Institution has received and soon will publish the fourth paper in a series dealing with the investigations on the flying organs of various insects and birds. These investigations, which were fostered by Secretary Langley, now deceased, with the hope that they would yield information useful to engineers and others interested in the problem of aviation, have been carried out under the direction of Professor von Lendenfield of Prague university for ten years. Professor von Lendenfield believes that of all forms of insects, and indeed, of all flying animals, the blowfly furnishes the most promising pattern for a flying machine, and that a working model, should be built according to the pattern and experimented with. The paper now in the hands of the printer was prepared by Dr. Wolfgang Ritter and describes the flying apparatus of the blowfly. The author, with minuteness characteristic of German scientists, discusses the anatomy of the structure and articulation of the in his private diary before he sleeps that night, and in later years will publish it in his memoirs where eager millions will read it. Also doubtless he won't, for the chances are the distinguished senator merely requested the page to tell the bothersome constituent who has been waiting out in the marble room for the last hour, to wait another hour by which time the distinguished senator will have slipped out another door and gone to lunch. If the senate page should take a notion to disclose the secrets of his prison house he could a tale unfold that would make the muckraking magazines look like periodicals subsidized by Wall street. He could tell exactly what that whispered message was that passed between a leader on one side at a critical moment during a roll call, He could tell what went on out in the cloakroom when a deal was on to trade one little bill for another little bill, and incidentally to break a party pledge and sell out a party measure. Even the familiar designations by which pages know their masters would make mighty good copy. One senator somewhat known for his querulousness invariably is referred to by the fraternity as "Grandma," which is hardly parliamentary even in the cloakroom. GEE! THAT IS A LOT CHEAPER THAN ONE COULD GET IT BACK HOME ALLRIGHT stationery room in the capitol has been the tremendous supply of social stationery and pretty little desk ornaments and implements, such as attract the eye of women, in the stationery rooms, which may be purchased—handbags, fancy reticules, pocketbooks, the daintest of note paper, scented and otherwise, pearl or silver handled desk implements—an endless array of pretty little knickknacks, which a mere man would scorn to use as an embellishment of an office desk. The affable clerks of the stationery room will explain that this fancy goods department is an outgrowth of the habit of the American legislator to elect his whole family to office along with himself. The $125 goes a long ways and the stationery room at Christmas, Easter and other gift-making seasons is as busy a mart as any similar store in the national capitol and everything at cost. by the navy department, Miss Beers was employed as a companion to the wife of Lieut. Commander William T. Tarrant, who is engineer officer of the battleship Michigan of the Atlantic fleet. She was invited to one of the naval academy hops several weeks ago by a midshipman whose name has not been disclosed by the department. She attended the dance and shortly afterward left Annapolis for her home in New Haven. At the time of her departure she knew nothing of the incident in which she figured. One of the officers on duty at Annapolis suggested to the midshipman, on the supposition that Miss Beers was a domestic, that she should not have been invited by the midshipman to the hoow. The midshipman, according to the report received at the department, replied that he disagreed personally with the view of his superiors at the academy. There was, however, nothing that he could do under the circumstances. The inquiry developed that Captain Bowyer was responsible for the suggestion that Miss Beers was not a desirable guest at academy social events. wings and the functions of every muscle and joint used in flight. Those already published are "The Structure of Wing Feathers," by Dr. E. Mascha; "The Clasping Organs Attaching the Hind to the Fore Wings in Hymenoptera," by Dr. Leo Walter, and "The Air Sacs of Pigeons," by Dr. Bruno Muller. Dr. Ritter's paper is profusely illustrated with pictures showing the different experiments he made with the blowfly. Another paper will be added soon to the Smithsonian miscellaneous collections, a "Bibliography of the Scientific Writings of R. E. C. Stearns," by Miss Mary R. Stearns. Accompanying it is a biographical sketch of Dr. William H. Dall. PIE TONGS USEFUL ARTICLE If for No Other Purpose They Will at Least Keep Cook's Fingers Out of Dish. An addition has been made to the tong family in the shape of a pair of pie tongs. They'are the work of a Connecticut genius and enable the cook to tote a pie about without touching it with her fingers. Two pieces of heavy wire are doubled upon themselves so that they form gripping members at one end. The other end is inserted in a handle. Midway along the wires are rectangular plates which are pivoted upon each other, making what resembles a big pair of scissors. Ples usually run a little over the edge of the plate and cannot be picked up without the fingers coming into contact with the crust, to say nothing of the difficulty in picking them up when they are not on a plate without a great deal of handling. The tongs overcome this difficulty as the gripping ends lap over far enough to pass under the pie and support it firmly. BRAN USEFUL AS CLEANSER For One Reason It Has Absolutely No Injurious Effect on the Most Delicate Colors. Bran is good for cleaning and stiffening. To make bran water tie a cupful of bran in muslin, put this into two pints of water in a clean saucepan and simmer until the water feels glutinous. Leave the muslin loose, to allow the bran to part with its gluten. A second and even third water may be taken off the bran in the same way. Bran has no destructive effect on colors and seems to act mechanically as an absorbent and to stiffen the article slightly. It is most useful for colored embroidery or art work of any kind. Bran water is sometimes employed for the washing of cretonne with a colored background. The article is washed in the bran water, rinsed, wrung, rolled in a cloth and then ironed on the wrong side. The cretonne is better if slightly dried before the ironing process takes place. Short Cake (Paste). Put a pound of fine flour into a basin; scoop out a hollow in the center of it, and put into this ten ounces of fresh butter, a pinch of salt, a dessert-spoon of powdered sugar and one-quarter pint of water. To make it smooth and firm gather this together into a lump and leave it in a cool place for a couple of hours. Roll it out to an oblong shape one and one-quarter inches thick. Score the edges with a knife and mark it on the top any fanciful shape of pattern. Brush over with beaten egg and bake in a quick oven. Time to bake, about half an hour. Sufficient for three or four persons. Mushrooms With Toast Rub the tops of the mushrooms with a piece of flannel dipped in salt. Have some butter heated in a saucepan, in which put the mushrooms with salt, cayenne pepper, and mace; let them stew gently until the butter has almost disappeared, then add cream and the grated rind of lemon. Set back where they will only simmer until quite done. Have toasted bread cut in rounds, serve the mushrooms on them and squeeze a little lemon 'ulce on each. Baked Currant Pudding. Mix four ounces of finely-chopped suet with three-quarters of a pound of flour, and a teaspoonful of baking powder. Add a quarter of a pound of currants, washed and dried, and a little candied peel. Make all into a batter that will just pour with one egg and a little milk. Pour into a greased piedish, and bake in a good oven for rather more than an hour. Serve with sugar, as none should be cooked with it. Caviare on Crackers. Put a tablespoonful of butter in the blazer. As soon as hot turn in a half cupful of Russian caviage, toss about with a fork until heated through; season with a little pepper (no salt) and the juice of a half lemon, turn off the flame and spread the caviage on crackers. Serve at once, meantime pouring a little water in the blazer so it will be ready to wash out for the next course. Buttered Beets Drain and rinse one can small peets; reheat one-hal. can in boiling salted water; drain and add two tablespoons of melted butter with one of vinegar blended. Fried Biscuit. Shape bread dough as for raised biscuit; when risen, drop into deep fat and try six minutes; drain on brown paper.

Edwards Could Not Tempt Parker Greeley Hater of Hypocrisy David B. Hill Tried to Induce Him to Run for Governor of New York in 1900 in opposition to Some time in August, 1902, David B. Hill invited three or four men of the Democratic party who were regarded as leaders in New York state to visit in Albany at his home, Wolfert's Roost. The very fact that these friends had been summoned to his house rather than to his office was sufficient indication that Hill purposed talking politics with them. Among Senator Hill's callers was Alton B. Parker, chief justice of the court of appeals of New York state, and at an opportune moment Mr. Hill began to explain the reasons he had called the conference. "If I am any judge of political conditions in this state," he began, "I am warranted in saying to you that it looks to me as though the Democratic party this year might elect its candidate for governor and its whole state ticket. Governor Odell will be recommended by the Republicans. I have good reason for knowing that Odell is not at all confident that he can be re-elected. As a politician, Odell has one qualification which commands my respect. He is always anxious to know the exact facts. He doesn't want any district leader or organization man to bring him flattering reports. His organization all understands that, I presume the members of it have told him that the outlook for his party is very squally. Now I think we have an opportunity to win, and if we are going to accept it we must nominate our strongest candidate for governor." Having so expressed himself, Mr. Hill looked at Judge Parker, silently, penetratingly, for a moment, and then continued: "Judge, in my opinion you are the man to be nominated for governor by the Democracy. I will tell you why. I am certain that you will poll more than the party's strength in the lower part of the state. I am also certain that you will poll an upstate vote larger than could be secured by any other Democratic candidate. With any other candidate than you we shall have greater difficulty in defeating Odell." Judge Parker's answer was that while he appreciated the confidence Governor Hill had expressed in him. Abandoned His Favorite Hotel in Albany Because, Though Ostensibly a Temperance House, It Sold Liquors on the Sly. Horace Greeley was a man who hated hypocrisy. For some time Greeley's favorite hotel at Albany, N. Y., when he called there on political ransacks as a member of the famous political firm of Seward, Weed and Greeley, was the Delavan house. Suddenly, one day, he changed his headquarters to the Stanwix hotel. Said the proprietor of that hotel at a time when Greeley was his guest: "You observe that the great Horace is a patron of my hostelry? Well, I got him as a guest in this way: The Delavan house was started as a temperance house. But Greeley, during one of his visits there, discovered that no guest need go thirsty, provided he could make the right signal to the proprietor. "One day Greeley came in here and asked me if I was the proprietor of this hotel, and when I told him I was, he asked: 'Do you keep whisky?' "Yes, I have very good whisky,' I replied. "Do you also keep brandy?" "Yes, I have a very choice stock of brandy." "Well, do you keep champagne?" "Yes, I have champagne,' I replied. "Well,' said Mr. Greeley, and there was an unusual twang in his voice, I don't want any of these things myself, but I have made up my mind I would rather stay with a hotel proprietor who is honest enough to say that he keeps liquors than to stay with one who pretends to be a temperance man and who sells strong drink on the sly." Greeley was a great lover of the opera. In 1854 Grisi, in her day the most famous of operatic sopranos, and her husband, Mario, who probably was the greatest tenor that ever sang in Italiana opera, made a tour of the United States. They appeared first in New York at the original Academy of Music, but prior to their debut they were told that it was of the utmost importance to the success of their American tour that they secure, if possible, a favorable criticism of their debut in the columns of the New York Tribune. As a preliminary to that end the representatives of the great singers saw to it that a seat for the performance was assigned to Mr. Greeley in one of the stage boxes. Story of a Chief Justice nevertheless he felt that he could not permit his name to be used in connection with the gubernatorial nomination. He had only one ambition, and that was to maintain creditably his place upon the bench. "But," interrupted Governor Hill, "I want to impress upon you one fact, Judge Parker, which you may have overlooked. It is this. If you are selected governor of New York this year, you will inevitably become the Democratic candidate for president in 1904. I say inevitably, because our party is sure to name some one who has demonstrated his ability to carry New York state, provided such a one can be found." "But," persisted Judge Parker, have no ambition to become my party's candidate for president. My place upon the bench is most congenial to me. I can reasonably hope to stay there until I reach the age at which I am compelled to retire." "Judge Parker," said Mr. Hill, speaking very earnestly, "you should remember one thing, and that is that it is a very great honor, the greatest that a party can give, to have been nominated by a party for president of the United States. I tell you, then, that if you are elected governor this How Morrison R. Waite, Without Money in Railway Ticket Office, Was Courteously Relieved of Embarrassment by Agent. One evening in the early autumn of 1883 I went to the old Baltimore & Ohio railroad station in Washington to take a night train for New York. When the ticket window was thrown open I fell in line behind a man of broad girth and shoulders whom I did not recognize until he had reached the window in his turn and asked for a ticket to New York. He was the chief justice of the United States, Morrison R. Waite, appointed by President Grant to the bench in 1874 to succeed Salmon P. Chase, and destined to be the court's head until his death in 1888. The ticket agent, in reply to the chief justice's request, passed out a Greeley had been in the box but a few moments when, apparently, he fell sound asleep—to the great distress of both Grisi and Mario, whose singing, so far as they could see, made not the slightest impression upon the senses of the Tribune's editor. And it was noticed that not even the applause which followed Grisi's first song, nor subsequent outbursts, served to arouse him from his somnolent attitude. By the time the opera was over poor Grisi and Mario were almost beside themselves with disappointment and despair—they had failed to make an impression upon the great Horace Greeley—there would be no favorable word of their initial appearance in the Tribune, the fount of praise most sought for by operatic singers of the time. Yet what was their great delight when, upon picking up the Tribune in the morning, they saw there in a glowing criticism of their performance, and what was more, a most favorable editorial comment thereon, containing a graceful word of congratulation for the great singers. They wondered, of course, how the editor of the Tribune could have written anything at all about them since he slept at the opera. They were not acquainted with one of Greeley's peculiar characteristics. In the horse cars, in hotel lobbies, in church, he dozed soundly, apparently, yet his friends always noted that nothing escaped him. The better to listen or to think, it was a habit with him to close his eyes as if in slumber—and in a horse car, for example, this habit never caused him to be carried beyond his destination. (Copyright, 1910, by E. J. Edwards. All Rights Reserved.) Liberty's Tombstone. A magazine editor at the Authors' club in New York, was talking about H. G. Wells. "Wells is now the foremost English novelist," he said. "Strange that a man so talented should misjudge us as he does. When he was over here, you know, he found fault with everything. "One day at lunch, getting tired of his attacks on the tyranny of our trusts and our bosses, I said with a sneer: "Well, at least, Mr. Wells, you must admit the grandeur of the magnificent Statue of Liberty that rears its proud head above our harbor?" "Oh, yes;" said Mr. Wells. "You have the same custom as we—you rear your finest statues to the dead." fall, as I believe you will be if you are a candidate, you inevitably will be the Democratic party's candidate for president two years hence. "Now," continued Mr. Hill, after a moment's pause, "I don't want you to give me a definite answer today. Think of what I have said over night, and let me know your decision tomorrow morning." The next morning Judge Parker informed Governor Hill that he was still of the opinion he had held, the day before. "Very well; I will not urge you further," Mr. Hill said. "There is now but one thing to do, and that is to nominate Bird S. Coler." And several weeks later, on election night, Governor Hill was more than ever of the belief that had Judge Parker been his party's candidate for governor, he would have been elected, for Coler was defeated by Odell by only eight thousand plurality. Two years later, when Judge Parker was nominated for the presidency by the Democracy, he was reminded of the chat, here made public for the first time, which he had with Governor Hill, and his reply was that the nomination for president had come to him without his having raised his hand to secure it, and that he was of the opinion of one of the statesmen of an earlier day, that the presidency should neither be sought nor declined. (Copyright. 1910, by E. J. Edwards. All Rights Reserved.) ticket in a perfunctory manner, and the next moment I observed that the chief justice was in some embarrassment. He felt first in one pocket and then in another. Even to the inside pocket of his waistcoat he dived, and at last, in a voice which betrayed his concern and a certain modesty, even timidity, of manner, he explained to the ticket agent: "I find that I have come from home without a cent of money; I must have left my pocketbook upon the table or my desk. I walked from the house to the station because the evening was pleasant, or I should have discovered before that I had no money with me." The ticket agent made no response, and the chief justice, in a manner even more hesitating, and with his embarrassment visibly increased, asked: "It is very important that I go to New York tonight; is there any way in which I can secure my passage?" Before the ticket agent had time to reply a man who stood beyond the ticket window rail stepped forward, and as I pulled out my pocketbook and held it before Chief Justice Waite the stranger did the same, both he and I saying almost simultaneously: "Judge Waite, I should be glad if you would accept what you need from my own purse." Never did a man appear more greatly embarrassed over, or more keenly appreciative of, the kindness then shown him. But before the chief justice could accept either offer, the ticket agent thrust his head through the window and waved the stranger and myself aside. "Gentlemen," he said, "this is my privilege." Then turning to Chief Justice Walte—of whose identity he had been in ignorance a moment before—the agent smilingly continued: "The rules of the railroad company do not permit me to sell a ticket upon credit, Judge Walte, or I should be very glad to do that. But there is no rule of the company which prevents me buying a ticket." He took out his pocketbook, withdrew from it $5 and placed the bill in the money drawer. Then he handed a ticket to the chief justice, and before the latter could say anything a $5 bill followed the bit of pasteboard into his hands. "You will want a sleeping car ticket, and you shouldn't go to New York without a cent in your pocket," explained the agent. "So please let me offer you this money." The chief justice of the United States looked gratefully at the railroad man. "I thank you most sincerely for your very great courtesy," he said. "And as you know who I am, you may be assured that upon my return to Washington you will be repaid." Thereupon, Justice Waite passed on and I ventured to remark to the ticket agent; "That was a very handsome thing you did." "Oh, no," was the reply; "I was proud to be able to be of some service to Chief Justice Waite. I would cheerfully have assisted him, or any other member of the Suprema court, even though I knew I would never get my money back. I consider it a great honor for any man to be able to do anything for a member of the Supreme court. And I have been more than repaid for what I have done by the manner in which Justice Waite received the little courtesy." Then it was that I realized as I never had before the respect and veneration that the average American holds for the Supreme court of the republic. (Copyright, 1910, by E. J. Edwards.
