THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY The Man Farstest Down LIFE AND LABOR ON THE CONTINENT. THE SECOND ARTICLE WRITTEN BY BOOKER T. WASHINGTON BASED ON OBSERVATIONS AbROAD. VOL. XVII. The Man thes LIFE AND LABOR ON THE ARTICLE WRITTEN BY BASED ON OBSER There is a region in northwestern Hungary where in the course of a day's ride one may pass through, one after another, villages inhabited by as many as five different races—Rurhenians, Jews, Rumanians, Hungarians and Germans. A racial map of the dual Empire shows districts in which the bulk of the inhabitants are of one race, dotted with villages in which the fragments of other races still survive, some of them, like the Turks, so few in number that they are not separately counted as part of the population. Under these circumstances travel in this part of the world is made interesting but not easy. Fortunately, I had letters of introduction to Dr. Albert W. Clark head of the Austrian branch of the American Board of Missions at Prague, and he introduced me to some of the native assistants who spoke English, and kindly assisted me in finding what I most desired to see of the city and the people. Through him I had an opportunity to get inside of some of the tenements in which European people live, and to see some of the working people in their homes. I did not have an opportunity to explore the parts of the city in which the very poor people live; in fact, I was told that there was nothing in Prague that corresponds to the slums of cur English and American cities. There is much poverty, but it is poverty of a self-respecting sort—not of those who have been defeated and gone under, but of those who have never got up. I found the average Bohemian work-man living in two rooms and working for wages considerably less than the same kind of labor would have brought in America. There is, however, very little use in comparing the wages that men earn unless you are able to compare all the surrounding conditions. During my stay in Prague I had an opportunity to see something close at hand of the life of the farming population. Under the guidance of one of Dr. Clark's assistants I drove out one day to a little village where there were a number of people who had come under the influence of the American Mission in Prague, and where I was assured I should find a welcome. It was not perhaps, the best place to get an idea of what is most characteristic in Bohemian county life. I had hoped to see something of the local customs of the country people; but, though it was a holiday when I made my visit, I did not see a single peasant costume. One of the most interesting places that I visited during my stay in this village was a dairy farm which was conducted by a Jew. He was evidently one of those of the lower or middle class—a type one hears much of in Europe—who, with very little knowledge or skill in the actual work of agriculture, have succeeded by their superior business skill in getting possession of the land, and reducing the peasant to a position not much better than that of a serf. This man not only kept a dairy farm, but he operated two or three brick-yards besides, and had other extensive business interests in the village. Although he was a man of wealth and intelligence, he had his dwelling in the midst of a compound around which were grouped houses for his laborers, cowstalls, a wheelwright and blacksmith shop, places for pigs, chickens and dogs, the whole in a condition of indescribable disorder and filth. The greater part of the work on the farm seemed to be done by women, most of whom were barefoot or wore wooden shoes. I do not think I had seem any one wearing wooden shoes before since the days of slavery. They had remained in my mind as the symbol of poverty and degradation; but they are worn everywhere in country districts in Europe. In fact, I remember one instance, when I visited an agricultural school finding one of the teachers working in the garden wearing wooden shoes. The people who worked on this farm all lived as far as I could see, in one little ill-smelling, and filthy room. There was no sign in the homes which I visited of those household industries for which Hungarian peasants are noted, and which should help to brighten and make comfortable the simplest home. I believe there are few plantations in our Southern States where even in the small one-room cabins, one would not find the colored peo- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JUNE 10 1911. ple living in more real comfort and more cleanliness than was the case here. Even in the poorest Negro cabins in the South I have found evidences that the floor was sometimes scrubbed, and usually there was a white counterpane on the bed or some evidence of an effort to be tidy. It was interesting to me to learn that the Bohemians' in their own country suffer from some of the same disadvantages as the Negro in the South. For example, the educational fund is divided between the races—the Germans and the Czech—just as the money for education is divided in the South between the whites and the blacks, but, as is true in the South, it is not divided equally between the races. For example, in the city of Prague there is one gymnasium (school) to every 62,000 Czech inhabitance, while the Germans have one gymnasium for every 6,700 inhabitants. Of what are called the real schools in which the education is more practical than that of the gymnasia, there is one for every 62,000 Bohemian inhabitants while the Germans have one for every 10,000 inhabitants. For a number of years past, although the Bohemians represent seventy per cent of the population, they have received only a little more than one-half of the money appropriated for secondary education, both in the gymnasia and the real schools. The salaries of teachers in the elementary schools range from $155 to $400 per year; in the schools in which the German language is taught, however, teachers receive an added bonus for their services. To overcome their disadvantages in this direction the Czechs have supplemented the work of the public schools by industrial schools which are maintained by the contributors of the people in the same way that the Negroes in many parts of the South have supplemented the work of the public schools in order to increase the terms of the school year and to introduce industrial training of various sorts. More than this, the masses of the people in Bohemia are limited and restricted in all their movements in ways of which no one in America who has not passed through the hands of the immigration inspectors at Ellis Island has any comprehension. For example, the people of Austria have had for a number of years freedom of conscience, and, in theory at least, every one is allowed to worship according to his own inclination and convictions. Nevertheless it seems to be as much a crime in Austria to say anything that could be construed as disrespectful to the Catholic church as it would be to insult the name of the Emporer. I heard a story of a woman who ran a small store in which she was using copies of a Catholic newspaper with which to wrap up articles which she had sold to her customers. She was warned by the police that if she continued to use this paper for that purpose she would be liable to arrest. Afterwards packages were found in her store which were wrapped in this paper; she was arrested and the case was carried to the highest court, but the sentence which had been imposed upon her stood, and she was compelled to serve a term in prison as punishment for this offense. It was only with the greatest difficulty, Dr. Clarke informed me that he succeeded in getting permission from the Government to establish a branch of the Young Men's Christian Association in Prague. I myself had some experience of these restrictions when I spoke before an audience composed largely of young Bohemian workmen in the rooms of this same Young Men's Christian Association. In order that I might be permitted to make this address it was necessary to announce the subject to the officers of the Government three days before I arrived in the city, and at the meeting I had the unusual experience of having my words taken down by a Government official who was present to see that I did not say anything that would disturb the public peace. Not knowing what else I could say to this audience that would interest them, I told briefly the story of my own life and of the work that we are trying to do for our students at Tuskegee. I told them also that the institution (Hampton Institute) in which I had gained my education had been established by the same American Board of Missions which was responsible for the existence of the Young Men's Christian Association in Bohemia. In order that my hearers might understand what I said, it was necessary for the secretary of the Association, a Bohemian who spoke very good English, to translate my words sentence by sentence. In spite of these difficulties, I do not think I ever spoke to an audience of laboring people who were more intelligent or more appreciative. It was a great pleasure and satisfaction to me to be able to speak to this audience. I felt, as I think they did, that we had something in common which others perhaps, could not entirely understand, because each of us belonged to a race which, however different in other respects, was the same in this, that it was struggling upward.—Outlook RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES The Eighth Regiment, Chicago, will benefit to the extent of $100.,000, appropriated by the Illinois Senate, in event the bill for the same is otherwise successful.

C, Daniels, of Macon County, Ala., in which the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute is located, reports, that at the commencement exercises of Tuskegee Institute, held on May 25, although there were at least six thousand colored people on the school grounds during the day, he did not make a single arrest, nor did he find a single disorderly or intoxicated man or woman among the six thousand. Newport, R. I., May 30.—The New England African Methodist Episcopal Conference voted here Saturday to advise the Secretary of the Navy "that there has come to our knowledge that there exists at navy recruiting stations an impossibility for Negroes to enlist except as coal passers or mess attendants, that the Negro is discriminated against aboard the receiving ships Hancock at New York and Franklin at Norfolk, that on several baltleships the Negro is segregated ann that he has no opportunity to parade or rise. It is petitioned that these conditions be investigated." To help gather a thousand delegates and 10,000 colored visitors to form an "On to Africa Congress," is the latest move among the Springfield (Mo.) Negroes, arising directly out of the Ethiopian Afro-American Franchise Protective League, which is to have a branch in that city. The congress is scheduled to meet in Muskogee on August 4, 1912, and the plans formulated are exhaustive and specific in every detail, being laid down in the call, which is to be issued to the race. In Washington it seems that insane white patients object to being used as subjects for lectures at which Negro medical students are present, and in the hall where musical and dramatic entertainments are given, the white "loonies" occupy the main floor and the Negro "daffies" are compelled to go up in the gallery. When the color-line invades the insane asylums, jails, penitenitaries, poorhouses and bread-lines, it is se- NO 39 curing a grip that stamps it as America's most distinctive institution. Cambridge, Mass.—Announcement is made that the Harvard Union, the largest and most popular of Harvard University student organizations has extended an invitation to Booker T.

Zanesvill and vicinity are great pottery centers. Many Negroes find employment in the 27 potteries there. There are skilled workmen among them, warranting the movement. The sum of $40,000 is expected to be raised. The company is known as the Betterware Company. It is well officered. Shares are being sold. At the annual games of the New York Postoffice Clerks Association which were held Sunday at Celtic Park, Gwyan Henry, the national champion runners at 220 yards, who hails from a little town in Texas, was rebuked for objecting to running in a race with colored contestants. When he saw C. Nicholson, the crack runner on the Laetitia Athletic Club of Brooklyn, preparing to enter the contest he protested to Starter McHugh, declaring that he would not run against a colored man. An argument lasting for nearly ten minutes, ensued, and the Texan was finally informed that he was not down South but in New York, and would either compete against Nicholson or get out. Henry decided to forget that he was from Texas for a few moments and temporarily buried his race prejudice. He came first in the race and the colored runner a close second. OAKLAND, CAL Mrs. A. A. Ealy of Denver left Oakland last Monday after a ten months' visit, much improved in health. Her many friends and acquaintances will miss her very much. Stephan Greer, formerly of Denver, is now with the Western Pacific dining car service and making good.

HERS' DOOM er of Curtis COLORADO WORLD'S MOST WONDERFUL TOMB The Taj Mahal, Agra, India last catches sight of the famous Taj By common consent the tomb of Shah Jehan's loved wife is the goal and center of Indian traveling. Nor is this to be wondered at; for after the last word of praise and appreciation of the Taj as a building has been said, there is something more, something greater about it still. That which weighs heaviest in our estimation and lives longest in our memories that side of it which photographs cannot give. Surely the dullest of visitors must be impressed by the mere fact that the Taj stands, as nothing else in the world stands, for the great and lasting devotion of a man for a woman. Remember that it was erected in eternal honor of a woman at a time when women were regarded as little but the playthings of their owners, and by the disciple of a faith which to this day denies to woman the possession of a soul. The story of the love of Shah Jehan for Muntaz-i-Mahal is one of the great romances of the world's history. Muntaz-i-Mahal was the daughter of Asaf Kahn and was married to Shah Jehan in 1615, 12 years before the succession of her husband to the throne. Indeed she knew Little of the splendors of Shah Jehan's court, for in 1629 she died at Burhanpure, the capital of the Deccan Province, and with her the light went out of the life of the most splendid of all emperors. Crushed with grief, Shah Jehan determined that his lost love should have such a memorial as neither woman nor man had ever had in the history of the world before. So he called to him one Ustad-Isa, a cunning architect, and bade him prepare as noble a design as his imagination could furnish. We do not know very much about the actual building of the Taj. The minarets, which are perhaps the most criticized details in the structure, were moved away from the central building, and stand, instead, at the four corners of the marble plateau, or plinth, on which the Taj is built. We know from Tavernier that the cost of the scaffolding was as great as that of the tomb itself, because there were at that time no trees near by from which timber could be obtained for this purpose. We are told that Austin de Bordeaux, an absconding French jeweler, was called in to ornament its white marble walls with the famous "pietra dura" work. Tradition also has it that Verroneo, an Italian, had a hand in the decoration of the tomb. But of the part that Shah Jehan himself played in this colossal enterprise we know nothing. The emperor stated that, apart from the materials, to which half of Asia contributed her marbles, the masons alone were paid the sum of $3,000,000. Seventeen years were occupied in the building. The body of Muntaz-i-Mahal was then placed under the dome in the place of honor. Years afterward, when Shah Jehan himself, a broken, disappointed and dethroned man, came to die as his own son's prisoner in the fort he had himself built at Agra, they laid his body beside that of his loved mistress. Not even then did they dare break the great tradition of love that the Taj was built to immortalize. Shah Jehan's tomb, though larger—as befits an emperor—is placed on one side of Muntaz-i-Mahal's central resting place. These tombs, in accordance with eastern customs, are not the actual resting places of the bodies. Muntaz-i-Mahal and Shah Jehan lie in the crypt underneath, where the relative positions, as already noted, are faithfully maintained. Inside, beneath the marble dome, there is, around the tombs of the two lovers, an exquisitely beautiful pierced marble trellis heavily inlaid with precious stones. The light is admitted only through double screens of white marble trellis-work of the most beau- tiful design, one on the outer and one on the inner surface of the walls. In our climate this would produce nearly complete darkness, but in India, and in a building wholly composed of white marble, this was required to temper the glare that otherwise would have been intolerable. As it is, no words could express the chastened beauty of that central chamber, seen in the soft gloom of the subdued light that reaches it through the distant and half-closed openings that surround it. Of the essential and eternal charm of the Tai a prominent writer says: of the Taj a prominent writer says: "You will understand the Taj best if you wait till the rosy fleeces have faded in the afterglow and the ripples of the Jumna run steel-gray in the waning light. A bird springs up, and the leaves of the thula and the pepal murmur together as the darkness grows. A flying-fox with leathern wings wheels down from above, and a morrice of bats herald the coming of the moon in the evening silence. And then you will understand that it does not matter whether you can see the Taj or not. It is no question now of dome or gateway, silver-work, or inlaid jewels. But as the dusk deepens you will come to know that the frail little body buried far down in its jeweled alabaster beside her faithful lord, stands, and will always stand, for all that men hold dear or sacred in this world. However splendid or costly it may be, however renowned, however beautiful, the Taj itself is but an emblem and a symbol. So long as men and women love upon this earth, so long shall they go to the quiet garden beside the Jumna to lay their flowers in the honor of Muntaz alone, not of Ustad-Isa, not of Shah Jehan, nor of another. For she loved and was much beloved." Superannuated Nothing, not even death itself, is so much dreaded by a Methodist preacher as superannuation. It means cessation of pastoral work. It means that he is no longer acceptable as a preacher. It means that he must go out, often without a home or means of support, into poverty and old age. The largest allowance paid to a superannuate from what is known as the "conference collection," is not half the average salary of the active pastor. And the pastor who can save anything out of his salary for old age is more fortunate than most of us have been. The experience is the testing time in a Methodist preacher's life. He has nothing before him but years of growing weakness and infirmity, nothing in the past but memories of activity, the very recalling of which grieves his soul, because he can be active no more, and even the love of his brethren is too often of the pitying sort that only adds to his sense of loneliness. Happy indeed is he whose faith does not fail during these twilight years.—The Independent. Comba Frog Cattle Horns. Cattle horns which have dotted the range for the last 40 years have disappeared and their going makes a new industry, that of making tortoise shell combs, hatpins and ornaments from the horns. It was a Yankee who came along one day and seeing the heads and horns bleaching on the plains thought of utilizing them. for tortoise shell ornaments. He gathered a carload and shipped them east. They were put through a factory, treated with a secret process, and as a result the man laid the foundation for a comfortable fortune.—Greeley Correspondence Denver Republican. Not a Question of Comfort. "I thought you were trying to economize on coal?" said the perspiring tenant of an apartment. "Only in the winter," said the janitor. "Now we're trying to burn up what's left 'cause we need the room it takes up." Limousine and Limited BY M. J. PHILLIPS (Copyright 1911 by Associated Literary Press.) Jimmie Bennett knew something would happen if he took out the limousine on so beautiful an early summer day. But there was nothing else for it. James Bennett, Sr., had the touring car and the chauffeur; the runabout was out of the question; and the electric had a broken spring. There was shopping to do—his mother and sister both said so, tragically. Out came the limousine and with Jimmie, feeling like a taxicab driver, at the wheel, they sped off downtown bright and early in the morning. Jimmie was loiling on the cushions opposite a famous hat shop which is near the Union station. He amused himself by watching the route of motors and people up and down the busy street. He also kept a patronizing eye on the suburban trains that shuttled back and forth behind the iron fence. And he nodded commendation when the Cusmopolitan Limited breezed majestically into the great station. The Cusmopolitan, with ponderous exhausts, was on its way again when a whirlwind of dainty skirts projected itself across the stone threshold of the station and headed for Jimmie. He straightened to attention when a pretty, pleading face was upturned to him. "I must catch that train," said the girl, hurriedly. "My aunt's on it, with my ticket. I stepped off to get a book at the station. Doesn't it stop again? I'll pay you double—" "Jump in here, beside me," commanded Jimmie. His mother and sister were forgotten as the car hitched around in the crowded thoroughfare and began to hum up Division street. Jimmie remembered that the big train always stopped at a junction quite across the city. There was no time to explain to his passenger that he was not running a taxi, even if he wanted to do so. Such an explanation was far from his desires. For the passenger was the most charming girl he had seen in many a day. She was bareheaded and the air ruffled her bright, crinky hair as it streamed past. The book she had left the train to buy was clasped in both hands. Excitement and rapid motion had whipped a wildrose tint into her cheeks. Jimmie could not decide from his hurried glances whether her eyes were blue or gray; but he knew they were large and eloquently expressive. She leaped towards him. "There's another station, isn't there? Will we reach it in time?" "I don't know," returned Jimmie, "whether we can make it or not." He pressed down his foot hard, for there was an open space in the street there. A motorcycle policeman, chugging toward them slowly, raised a warning hand. Jimmie smiled, and pressed down again. The officer circled smartly and started in pursuit. The limousine did nobly. It attained a speed of which Jimmie did not believe it capable. He kept the horn going constantly. Horse-drawn vehicles turned into side streets, while other motors made way, hastily. Pedestrians crossing the street sought the walk with surprising agility. It was the horn which nearly caused Jimmie's undoing. Another motorcycle officer looked back over his shoulder when he heard it. He saw the lunging car, and behind it the wildly-waying white-gloved hand of his pursuing colleague. He stopped, dismounted, and threw his machine across the pavement. He bad chosen his stand well. To the left were the car tracks, and a line of approaching cars. To the right was the curb. The motorcycle, broadside on, seemed to block the path effectually. Jimmie's foot almost gave over its pressure. Then his eyes gleamed and his jaws snapped. "Hang on!" he commanded tersely. The girl dropped the book in her lap without question and gripped convenient projections. Jimmie sounded the horn insistently. The policeman refused to budge. He still kept the commanding arm rigidly in the air. Ten yards from the officer Jimmie swerved to the right. The big car rose for a moment on two wheels. Then it hit the curb drunkenly, spurred the walk for a few feet and dropped back into the roadway with a crashing of glass. The rear hub brushed the motorcycle tire as the car shot past. The second outraged motorcyclist joined the first in pursuit. There were other incidents, more or less exciting, of that mad dash. Jimmie never slackened speed, for the stooping motorcycle policemen were skimming doggedly along behind. But the limited, with no obstructions in the way, had gone even faster. As they swooped down toward the junction the train moved slowly away. The girl gave a despairing little moan. "Oh, we've missed it!" she cried. "Not vet." encouraged Jimmy. For in a flash of inspiration he felt that there was one more chance. Ahead a few blocks the railroad tracks encroached on the street, occupying the left side of it for some distance. There was no fence or other obstruction between the pavement and the rails. They ran along parallel. And the rear vestibule of the train was open. Jimmie's foot went down gently. The limousine drew ahead of the train and gained the point where the railroad and street joined. With a thankful heart he noticed that the limited had not yet attained more than a fair momentum. Carefully he eased off. As the pilot of the engine crept up beside him he shouted to the girl: "The last vestibule's open. Dare you step from the car to the train? I'll keep close." "Yes!" she answered in his ear. Car after car of the limited slid past. At last came the observation car, the rear vestibule still open. He edged over until the running board and the car step were a scant two inches apart. The speed of train and motor were identical. She rose composedly, tossed her book into the vestibule, caught the brass handles of the car and stepped across. It was almost absurdly easy, for Jimmie's handling of the car was masterly. In two seconds she was safe aboard. As the scandalized face of the porter appeared in the rear door of the Pullman Jimmie's passenger smiled on him radiantly. She screamed above the roar of the train: "We'll-be-back-in-two-weeks. Watch-for-us!" Mrs. Cordella Mainwaring raised a formidable lorgnette. "So this is the young man who ran his cab over a policeman and chased people up lamp-posts, is it?" she said, quizzically. "You seem to be an exponent of the modern creed of 'get there', sir." "Yes, ma'am," said the blushing Jimmy. Mrs. Mainwaring continued her scrutiny. "You said he was hand-some, Dorothy. I believe you were right, my dear." "Auntie!" said the girl, blushing, too. "What is your name, young man?" asked Mrs. Mainwaring. "James Bennett." The dowager lowered her lorgnette in surprise. "Not a son of the great James Bennett?" "I believe that's what they call him," smiled Jimmie. "Well!" said Mrs. Mainwaring. "Well! I flirted desperately with him thirty years ago. And your mother was my best friend until we went west. Is she in town?" "Yes," said the eager Jimmie, "and I'd like to have you go up there. You must be Mrs. Mainwaring. I've heard her speak of you often." "We are going," returned the dowager, with instant decision. "I intended stopping off merely to thank you, but I must see your people, now I'm here, James. But you surely don't drive a taxi?" Jimmie shook his head. "It was the limousine. Mother and my sister wanted to come downtown, and the other cars were in use or broken." "This is your car?" said Mrs. Mainwaring, when they were outside the station. "Dorothy, my dear, sit up there with Mr. Bennett. I like plenty of room." When, as they sped decorously through the streets, she noticed the way Jimmie leaned toward her niece; how his voice took on a tone confidential, almost caressing, as he spoke to her; how Dorothy glanced up responsively, stealing longer looks at the bronzed, wholesome face when he was busy with the car—when she noticed all these things, the dowager nodded her crown of white hair, well pleased. For Mrs. Mainwaring was an incorrigible matchmaker. A Stone Coffin. In the end of last week there was unearthed in a field on Cockburn farm, near Duns, an ancient stone coffin. The interior of the grave, which was formed of four large slabs of the red sandstone which crops out on the banks of the Rover Whiteadder, measures about three feet in length by two feet in width, and was about two feet deep. It was covered by a similar stone, but there was no bottom slab. The dimensions, like those of other cists recorded in the district, show that the body which contained had been doubled up before burial. The grave contained, in addition to some of the bones of the skeleton, a very fine urn of the "food vessel" type, such as is commonly associated with interments of the bronze age. The urn measured about $5\frac{1}{2}$ inches in height by $6\frac{1}{2}$ inches across, the upper part adorned with two raised bands with a dotted pattern, the under conical part having a zigzag ornament, and the whole by no means destitute of a certain rude artistic taste. It was preserved almost intact.—London Globe. "There is no use giving you a check, my dear. My bank account is overdrawn." "Well, give it to me anyway, George, And say, make it for $500.

THE DENVER REPUBLICAN is booming a new adaptation of an old idea in a proposition for the raising of a grubstake fund by private subserip- tion, with the endorsement and under the supervisjon of the Denver Chamber of Commerce. ‘Phe proposition is to raise a fund of $10,000 to equip and start prospectors into the mountains under the old grubstake plan, the subscribers thus taking the places, as backers, formerly held by railroads, smelter and other big cor- porate interests, of whose support prospectors have of late been deprived. of course, the new movement is based primarily upon the public Interest in the belief that Colorado's chief industry is only partially developed, and that vast riches $et await the discovery of the insistent and tireless prospector. Other bonanza strikes like Cripple Creek and Leadville are believed to be certain to follow scientific and systematic prospecting, and besides the personal fortunes realized, the benefits to accrue to the state thereby will be immense. ‘This is a good idea for colored people to copy. Some years ago there were numerous adept colored prospectors and miners in those mining districts most famed in this state, and not a few of them became comparatively well-to-do financially, and, yielding to the lure of the city, gave themselves good starts in other callings, They probably made big mistakes In leaving the mountains. Never the less, there are some good colored prospectors yet in Colorado, and ‘a well-worked-ot business proposition to grubstake one or more of them each Season would not be a bad venture on the part of an aggregation of colored subscribers in Denver or throughout the state, This would not necessarily dis- courage mining operations already on foot, but the main {dea is that a find of unusual proportions is wanted and worth a special effort on the part of in- dependent speculators. Fifty subscriptions of $10.00 each ought to put a good colored prospector into the hills for a season, and that prospector, carefully and fairly selected by majority choice, knowing that a failure to make good would pay him poorly, and.that success would make him rich in money and reputation, ewould doubt- jess go about his task zealously, ‘The effort should be repeated year after year, for the chance is the same to all men, the presence of vast undiscovered treasure in our mountains is undoubted, and the reward, either in riches or experience, would be well worth the effort and thé little capital contributed. ‘We would be glad to publish the opinions of our readers upon this subject. GRANDFATHER CRIPPLED. a eee 4 LAUSE, a popular old gentlem ‘one of his legs chopped off i she is suffering greatly from t is widely known throughout rest by white and colored peor GRANDFATHER CLAUSE, a popular old gentleman from the South, had the misfortune to have one of his legs chopped off in Oklahoma two weeks ago, and at this writing he is suffering greatly from nervous shock. The old gentleman is widely known throughout the country, and is re- garded with equal interest by white and colored people, because of his long and active service in the cause of adjusting the political relations of the two races in such a manner as to remove the possibility of all friction between them upon matters concerning tae running of the government, which they are taxed equally to support. At his advanced age there is some fear that the accident will terminate in the old gentleman’s death, but as he has several legs left yet on which to stand, and as the doctors are resorting to every scientific method known to graft on and restore the severed limb, there is still some chance to save the old man’s life and enable him to get along without using a crutch. But the judge of the United States District Court for Oklahoma wielded the ax that lopped off grandpop's “feelers,” and his honor pleads justification and self- defense for the act of amputation to which he ruthlessly resorted. . e His honor says that Grandfather Clause was endeavoring, by innuendo and subterfuge, to take from citizens of the United States the right to vote, be- cause of race and previous condition, and that the procedure is in direct con- flict with the provisions of the Fifteenth Amendment to the Federal Consti- tution, and on this ground he is retaining possession of grandfather's severed leg until such time as a higher court shall command him to turn it over to i.e doctors for splicing or order it to be cremated and buried. In the event of the latter decision the urn or coffin will be ordered large enough to ac- commodate the entire corpse. On the face of the evidence in the case, the plea of the district judge seems to be well founded. In fact, the logic of the jurist is as plain as the nose on a toper’s face, but that is not saying that there are not topers who will deny that grandfather's proboscis is a blot and a disfiguration on the moral physiognamy of the nation. Grandfather Clause is nothing if he is not an insidious and specific foe to the Negro voter just because he is a Negro. He does not care’ how much property the Negro may own, how much money he may have to pay in taxes or how much he may know. If he or his father or his grandfather was not a voter prior to 1865, he inherits no voting rights which a white man is bound to respect, according to the ingenious deductions of the veneerable philosopher with the chopped-ou “feeler.” To be sure, to be exactly fair, he applies the same rule to all yoters, white as well ‘as black, but somehow the white voters all seem to have had grandfathers and great-grandfathers who voted early and often, and therefore they easily pass the test. The smothering of the Fifteenth Amendment is, of course, an attack upon the Constitution of the United States, made from behind the skeletons and ghosts of the sainted grandfathers of the Clause family, white, and though their charging ranks are crowded, they are too full of holes to be hit and halted by anything less spiritual than a two-edged decree and a legal broadside from a United States tribunal, that will cut off all their Jegs and dissipate their bodies, skulls and cross-bones, in the blue air of enlightenment.

STEAMSHIP AGENT TICKETS ARE ALL PRICES WASHINGTON.—Though the ways of graft are many, and many are the grafters, probably the most contemptible and most plentiful in this class are those who prey on ignorance and poverty. The Department of Justice has undertaken with notable success a war against those swindlers of our citizens, but it has not yet endeavored to protect the immigrant anxious to become a citizen. Perhaps our lawmakers are to blame. As an illustration of this misuse L. Glick takes the grafting steamship agent or petty banker. A poor man who has come from the "old country" but a short time before will spend the earnings of one or two years' labor to purchase transportation to the United States for some relative in a foreign land. The understanding is that he will go by direct route from the country he is leaving to his destination. Of course the agent may overcharge. This may be called legitimate graft, as he has to meet with competition, and the overcharge does not amount to much. But that is not all. The emigrant, whether he be Italian, Jew, Greek, or another, receives his ticket; sells what little belongings he has and presents THE largest and most formidable submarine ever constructed for the United States government will be given a trial trip soon. If the craft proves a success it will have a large bearing on the future of the navy, will tend to increase the importance of sub-surface war vessels, and at the same time to lessen the importance of the great battleship. It is the intention to cruise to New York with the boat on her trial trip. Later it is expected the strange craft will be sent across the Atlantic. Among the features of the new submarine are hydroplanes. These correspond to the planes of an aeroplane. They are assigned for the purpose of steadying the boat and holding it even when under the water. Another feature is the drop keel, which weighs several tons, and can be released in case of an accident, thus adding to the buoyancy of the vessel. On the bottom of the boat are wheels calculated to protect the bottom when the vessel drops down to the bed of the ocean. Various other features are important in the construction of this type of submarine. Enough storage air is provided for 48 hours under water. The vessel is provided with IT IS a "girl from the golden west" who draws the largest salary ever paid by the United States to a woman. Leona M. Wells of Wyoming has been appointed assistant secretary of the committee on appropriations, and with that position goes a salary of $2.500. She has another advantage over nearly all the other women, for she can go home and vote just like any other citizen of Wyoming. For several years she has been rated as one of the most efficient of government employees and has served on both the claims and the military affairs committees, the routine of which she quickly mastered, making herself valuable to the members of the committee by always having much desired information ready for their use. She made such a hit with the claims SOCIETY women interested in philanthropic work carried on through the 'Gentlewomen's league, one of the social organizations of Washington, are deeply interested in a movement proposed and started by Mrs. Julia James that has for its object the establishment of an intelligence bureau to be operated as an auxiliary of the league. The new branch of the organization is to be incorporated under the name of the National Co-operative Intelligence bureau. It will undertake to supply employees of all kinds to Washington homes, from social secretaries, linguists, readers and companions, to all manner of domestic help. It will have offices centrally located. There will be a fee charged those supplied with employees and a nominal fee charged the persons placed in positions. The bureau will undertake to give its indorsement to the moral character of the employees supplied himself with his family, bundle and ticket to the foreign agent. The agent scrutinizes the ticket with great care, apparently, and in a sad voice informs the emigrant there is required more money. Such a scene occurs at every stop-over. This besides being robbed for food and lodgings for which the kind relative across the seas has already paid double. After much delay he arrives at the seaport and here they take what is left. They let him keep his family. After more delay, he is set on board a ship bound for Canada, generally the port is Halifax. Perhaps the steamship companies know why the immigrant is sent to the United States via Canada, but they won't tell. He arrives at Halifax penniless and is debarred. The fact that he is bound for some town in the United States does not make things any pleasanter for him with the Canadian officials. His relative is communicated with and while negotiations for his release from the immigrant station are pending the Canadian government charges him for board. If his relative can borrow enough money it becomes only a costly experience but often he must go back home and our country loses another citizen. These steamship agents are to be found in the foreign quarters of every large American city. In the Ghetto and Little Italy you will find them most abundant. Some of them have been immigrants themselves, but do not hesitate to fleece old-time friends of their childhood. powerful gasoline engines, which propel her when running at the surface. But under the water the power is furnished by storage batteries. Its length is 161 feet and its displacement about 535 tons. The government contract calls for 14 knots speed, but it is expected to make 16. This is when the submarine is traveling on the surface. The submerged speed called for by the contract is nine and a half knots. It is designed to travel alone. The armament consists of six torpedo tubes and room aboard is provided for ten torpedoes. The crew will consist of about 22 members. Lieut. Kenneth Whiting of the navy is now in command. If the Seal bears out all the representations made concerning it, it is easy to see that naval warfare will be to a large extent revolutionized. committee that they included an item in the general deficiency fund of last year allowing her $2,000 for extra work. Pending before the committee when Mrs. Wells did this extra work were 50,000 claims, some of them grown old and mossy since first presented. She prepared a list of these 50,000 claims, giving a short history of each and showing what action had been taken. This was printed, and is a valuable reference document. Attorneys appearing before the claims committee were sorry to see Mrs. Wells transferred, for they often sought her knowledge of claims to aid them in presenting the cause of clients. In her new position Mrs. Wells will have more work and more responsibility. The appropriations total about a billion dollars. She was born in Illinois and went to Wyoming in 1899. A year later she came to Washington and has been here ever since. Mrs. Wells is devoted to outdoor amusements, and while not a rampant suffragette, she is proud of being able to go home and vote for her friends. THE LARGE ONE WILL DO — I DON'T WANT TO TEMPT JOHN — as well as to their capabilities to perform their particular kind of work. All applicants for positions will be required to file a brief statement of where they have filled positions, and before they are indorsed and placed in other positions the officers of the bureau will make a thorough and systematic investigation. If the investigation of the character of the applicant proves unsatisfactory she will not be listed. The bureau has the indorsement of some of the best known clergymen, professional and business men of the city. 63 DEAD IN MEXICO CITY EARTHQUAKE VISITS CAPITAL ON FETE DAY—MOST VICTIMS ARE SOLDIERS. SCORES ARE INJURED WORST SHOCK IN TWENTY YEARS—PROPERTY DAMAGE AMOUNT TO MILLION. Mexico City.—Sixty-three killed, seventy-five wounded, property loss $100,000. These are the net results of the earthquake which rent the capital and injected a note of tragedy into what was expected to be a day of unalloyed rejoicing. When the work of searching the ruins is completed it is possible that the list of dead will be lengthened somewhat, as hiding throughout the city, there doubtless are many wounded, who, with traditional fear of the authorities and government hospitals, are anxious to evade discovery. It was 4:36 o'clock when the first shock was felt. According to the meteorological observatory, the greatest intensity was reached at the end of the first minute, but the instruments continued to record the shocks for four minutes more. More than half of the dead accounted for are soldiers. They were caught beneath the falling walls of the artillery barracks in San Cosma, near the Mexican Central station. Another place where the earthquake took its toll of death in considerable numbers was at the city power plant of the Street Car Company. Here six were killed and six wounded. Two others were found in the debris, consisting partly of steel rails, which had been stacked in the iron and wood departments, and which collapsed. The victims were inhabitants of little shacks built along the side of the structure. With these two exceptions the death list was made up of single cases, or in some instances of two and three, caught beneath falling walls in the poorer buildings of the district most seriously affected. Although the shock was felt in all parts of the city, few realized the magnitude of the catastrophe until late in the foreonow, as the casualities were confined to a comparatively small area. Accustomed as the residents are to earthquakes and to their harmlessness on former occasions, they were slow to learn that this was the most serious shock in twenty years. In the barracks where the soldiers were killed twelve women also lost their lives. They were the wives of the artillerymen. These women have the privilege of spending the nights within the walls of the barracks. The barracks was an old structure, built a generation or more ago, but unlike many of the older edifices, its walls were comparatively thin. Seventy-two soldiers were sleeping in the house. Approximately, half were quartered in the first floor, the rest on the second. The outer wall fell away and the roof, crashing down on the sleeping men, hurled them down through the floor on their comrades below. The bodies of thirty soldiers have been recovered. Three are missing and sixteen were wounded, a few dangerously. Those who escaped began the work of rescue at once. Women whose soldier husbands were in the pile waited in groups while little brown children clung to their dresses and stared curiously at the scene. Three blocks from the barracks the yards of the Mexican Central station, at which Madero had been scheduled to enter, presented another spectacle of the shock's intensity. There a long wall separating these yards from those of the Mexican railway, was thrown down. A Mexican locomotive engineer was lying by his engine, crushed to death. A warehouse of the Mexican Central is almost a wreck, one wall and a portion of the building having collapsed. About one-third of the roundhouse was torn down. No casualties were reported here.

GIBSON SMITH Again We Say Subscribe for THIS PAPER New News of Yesterday by E. J. Edwards Wrote Novels to Gain Rest Wrote Novels to Gain Rest Stephen A. Douglas Admitted During the Famous Debate That He Dreaded to Hear His Opponent Begin an Anecdote. One of the commission that was sent to Hawaii in 1898 by President McKinley to establish a government for those islands when they were annexed to the United States was the late Robert R. Hitt of Illinois, an influential member of the lower house of congress from 1881 until a year before his death in 1906. A few days before Mr. Hitt started for Hawaii I had an opportunity to renew my acquaintance with him, which had begun when he was assistant secretary of state in 1881 under James G. Blaina. In the course of our conversation Mr. Hitt took a small memorandum book from a vest pocket and made one or two entries in short hand. "I reported the Lincoln-Douglas debates in shorthand," he explained, "and ever since I have used that mode of writing. It has been of great value to me. I used it constantly when I was in the state department, and I expect to make much use of it while in Hawaii." "Your ability to write in shorthand must have been put to a severe test at the time you reported the Lincoln-Douglas debates." I said. "No, it was not very difficult work. The chief thing I had to contend against was the noise of the crowds; many of the meetings were held in the open air, and there was a continual noise all about, as is liable to be the case in open air gatherings. Both Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Douglas were easy speakers for a competent shorthand writer to report. Lincoln, I think, was a little the easier, for he spoke less rapidly than did Mr. Douglas. Both of them enunciated clearly enough. "I have been told," continued Mr. Hitt, "that I owe it to history to write my personal recollections of that great debate, especially as I am probably the only person now living who was present at all of the debates. But Dr. William A. Hammond's Story of How He Turned to Writing of Fiction, Following Example of Dr. A. Wier Mitchell. The late Dr. William Alexander Hammond was surgeon-general of the United States army during a portion of the time when the Civil war was being fought, and thereafter until his death, which occurred in 1900, he was looked upon generally as one of the world's foremost authorities upon nervous diseases. He was also a very voluminous writer on medical subjects. But, lo and behold, in the early eighties, Dr. Hammond blossomed out as a novelist, and there was no little astonishment thereat, and a good deal of conjecture as to how he had found time for such work. For he was being constantly consulted upon his specialty, he was engaged in teaching in a university medical school, and he was constantly publishing medical treatises, some of which were translated and published in France and other European nations. Soon after the publication of his second novel, "Lal," which attracted the most attention of all his works of fiction, and which gained the common estimate that in none of his other books had he come so near the high-water mark as a novelist, I chanced to meet Dr. Hammond and asked him why he had taken up novel writing and how he had found the time necessary to engage in such endeavor. "I found time because I took time," was the reply. "And I took the time because of an experience of my friend, Dr. A. Wier Mitchell of Philadelphia. "Both Dr. Mitchell and myself have made a specialty of diseases of the nervous organs. I believe we are commonly called alienists. Dr. Mitchell stands at the very head of the specialists in nervous diseases. "When Dr. Mitchell first blossomed out as a writer of fiction I was curious to know why he had taken up a line of human endeavor so far removed from his own, and I bluntly made inquiry of him. His reply was that he had discovered that by writing down what his fancy dictated in the quiet of his library after a hard day's work he found that he soothed his own nerves, quieted his brain, and, after an hour or two thus spent, was in a perfectly normal condition and able to obtain sound sleep. Quite accidentally he had made the discovery, in an idle moment picking up his pen and writing down what his fancy dictated. "I was sure that what Dr. Mitchell had found good treatment for nerve weariness I should find equally advantageous, and I determined to try Politics of One Vanderbilt Politics of One Vanderbilt I was so occupied in taking my short-hand notes that I did not have a good opportunity to observe the speakers or to take much heed of the crowds. I do remember, however, one incident which at the time struck me as very interesting, and of which I have frequently thought. There have been occasional reports of Senator Douglas' estimate of the effect of Lincoln's speeches upon the crowds that heard them, but so far as I know there is no report telling of the effect of the debates upon Mr. Douglas himself. Yet I know from his own lips what that effect was. "I think it was after the fifth debate—there were seven in all—when some one asked Mr. Douglas in my presence how Lincoln's speeches affected him, and whether at any time he thought that he had been overmatched by his opponent or not. Commodore Would Not Recognize Brother-In-Law for Two Years Because the Latter Voted Against Henry Clay for President. In his later years, when he was undeniably the railroad king of America, few persons knew what was the politics of Commodore Vanderbilt, or whether he had any at all. But in the earlier part of his career, and especially when he was gaining the sobriquet of Commodore, through his work in building up the largest fleet of river and coastwise vessels in the world, he left no opportunity for doubt as to where he stood upon the political issues of the day. Then the Commodore was a staunch Whig. He was also an enthusiastic admirer of Henry Clay, and he was a strong protectionist of the Henry Clay school of protection. On the other hand Samuel Barton, who had been a boyhood playmate of the commodore's and had eventually become the latter's brother-in-law and the experiment. One night, after a day of great labor, I went to my library, put two or three cigars upon my library table and as I smoked them let my fancy have full sway. Almost instantly I found that the operation of the mind which the play of fancy makes possible served as a real brain rest. Moreover, it was a physical rest. So I speedily contracted the habit of writing fiction after my regular day's work was over. Sometimes I write until an hour or two after midnight. Then a delicious languor, perfectly normal, comes to me, and I go to bed as certain of sound sleep as is a lad who has played out of doors all day. In just this way I have written my two novels, and I hope to write others in the same way." Which he did. (Copyright, 1911, by E. J. Edwards. All Rights Reserved.) The Latest: "Starve the Fly." The campaign against the fly is progressive with the years. Thirty years ago we had the playful slogan, "Shoo, fly, don't bother me." Later came the more vigorous "Swat the fly." This spring it is "Starve the fly." The Detroit board of health has issued a pamphlet urging people to screen their doors and windows, to keep the screens over articles of food and to shut files out of the sickroom. To these admonitions the Washington health officer adds one to keep the stables clean. The purpose of all this, of course, is to deprive the fly of his usual sustenance, to prevent the accumulation of germs upon his feet and so to prevent him from carrying disease from one place to another. Did you ever examine a common house fly under a microscope? If not, do so at the first opportunity. You will certainly experience the sensation of having found a real enemy, so vicious does the enlarged image of the alleged innocent insect appear. He will be seen to have all the equipment for a vast mischief, neglected until now because of its smallness to the ordinary vision. Czar to Make Long Trip. The threat that he would never visit Denmark as long as King Christian lived, made years ago by the czar of Russia, is recalled by the news that he has made plans for an extensive European journey which will include the country which King Christian's death made free to him. The trip will be the longest he has ever taken in Europe and will carry him through Finland, Scandinavia, including the cities of Copenhagen, Christiania and Stockholm, and thence to Berlin to visit the German emperor and to Italy. The date for the czar's departure on the tour has not been fixed, but it will probably be this month. "Mr. Douglas answered that there had not been a moment when he had been afraid of Lincoln as a debater. All through he had been confident of his ability to hold his own in the give and take of debate and in the presentation of arguments. He hesitated for a moment, thinking apparently, and then continued: "I, of course, have perceived that Mr. Lincoln is very strong with the crowd, but I have felt that I have held my own with the crowd as well as he has. There is one thing, however, of which I stand constantly in dread. When Lincoln begins to tell a story I begin to get apprehensive. Every one of his stories seems like a whack upon my back—that is exactly the effect that the allegories and anecdotes, of which he is master, have upon me. Nothing else—not any of his arguments or any of his replies to my questions—disturbs me. But when he begins to tell a story, I feel that I am to be overmatched." (Copyright, 1911, by E. J. Edwards. All Rights Reserved.) intimate friend in adult life, was as staunch a Democrat as there was to be found in the east. He idolized Andrew Jackson, was a great admirer of Martin Van Buren, and stood firmly by his Jeffersonian principles when engaged in occasional political arguments with the commodore. In the early forties Mr. Barton received the offer of the Democratic nomination for congress in the district of which Staten Island, the birthplace and residence of both himself and the commodore, constituted the chief part. The commodore at that time had greatly enlarged his steamboat operations. In view of these commercial enterprises, Mr. Barton sought his brother-in-law and said to him: "Cornel, the Democrats say that I can be nominated for congress in our district. If I am nominated I am pretty sure to be elected. I thought I would come and see you and ask you what you think about it." "Weil, if you want to go to congress, why don't you go?" replied the commodore. "Then you wouldn't have any objections?" asked Mr. Barton. "I don't care whether you go to congress or not," retorted the commodore. "I won't give you any support, because you are a Democrat, but I won't oppose you." Thus satisfied that the commodore was indifferent to his election to congress, Mr. Barton accepted the nomination and was elected. Two years later there came the great presidential campaign in which Henry Clay was the candidate of the Whigs and James K. Polk of the Democrats. Commodore Vanderblit was intensely interested in the campaign. He was sure that Henry Clay would be elected, and he used all the influence he had to bring support to the Clay ticket. After the election, and while he was still feeling deeply the defeat of his political idol, the commodore learned that his brother-in-law had voted for the Democratic candidate. At their first meeting thereafter the commodore's pent up wrath broke forth. "So you voted against Henry Clay," he cried. "Well, when you voted against Henry Clay you voted against me. I don't want to have anything more to do with you." With those few words the interview ended. For a little over two years Commodore Vanderbilt did not speak to or in any way recognize his brother-in-law. Then he became as intimate as ever with him; and from that day until his death no man ever knew the commodore to permit his political opinions to influence his personal conduct. (Copyright, 1911, by E. J. Edwards, All Rights Reserved.) The Naked Truth. Both Fred Shireman, chief clerk, and Jud Carter, night clerk at the Seelbach hotel, are becoming bald-headed, and both have until recently been quite proud of the fact. According to a friend, it took a negro bellboy at the hotel to take the conceit out of them a few days ago. A traveling man, who had not been stopping at the hotel for some time, pulled up at the desk the other day. pulled up at the end of his head. He gazed at both over the rim of his gold spectacles for a minute. "Gracious goodness," he said, "you fellows will soon be combing your hair with a towel. What's the trouble?" "Excessive brain work," said Shireman. "Isn't that right, Carter?" "Correct," corroborated Carter. "Only thinking men become bald-headed." Then he turned and winked at a negro bellhop. "Fact, isn't it, Sam?" he said. The negro boy grinned. "Well, now, boss," he said, "I don't know foh suah 'bout that. My ole dad he always 'low dat an empty bahn don' need no covah."—Louisville Times. Clear Enough. "I am willing to admit, sir, that I may possibly be wrong."

We may have borrowed the original idea from the French, but America boasts the most original and prolific designer of rib- bon garnitures. Ora Lue, of New York, has recently discovered for the hostesses off that opulent city, 2 new world in the possibilities of ribbons and for decorative purposes. Dinner tables and drawing rooms of the coming season promise to blos- som with unfading flower forms that charm both by their beauty and in- genulty. These forms, used in con- junction with asparagus ferns, smilax and other lasting follage, make the hostess think twice, when choosing decorations for any social function. ‘The same ribbon serves for many oc- ersions and forms and it is said even its color may be changed. | Four designs are given here to be used at a June wedding where the ee GOOD IDEAS IN ETON SUIT in Heavy Blue Serge, Costume for Young Girl Called Forth Much Admiration. Such a pretty little Eton sult for a young girl was seen the other day. It was a heavy blue serge, in the dark reglation shade. ‘The skirt was made quite plain, com- ing slightly higher than the nor mal waist line to give the contin: uous Hine so becoming to the fem- Inine figure. It was the little jacket, however, which was novel and unusual. It had 2 deep sailor collar in back, In point- ed revers in the front. ‘This collar was of natural colored pongee, edged first with a paint line of brilliant coral silk and below that with a wide black silk braid. Two huge buttons fastened it at the side, while the almost long sleeves were finished with turn-back cuffs which carried out the same trimming idea expressed on the collar. etleat (Bearte: tied: Ropes of pearls with tasseled ends were much seen a few seasons ago, but it was thought the fashion would be fleeting.
