XVII. RACES A THE THIRD ARTICLE IN THE MAN FATHEST DOWN" BY The Slavic peoples otherwise divided by language and tradition, are also divided by religion. People speaking the same language, and sharing in other respects the same traditions, are frequently just as widely separated by differences of religion as they could be by differences of race. For example, among the southern Slavs the majority of the Slovens and the Croatians are Roman Catholics, others are Protestants. On the other hand, the majority of the Serbs, their close neighbors, are members of the Greek Orthodox Church, while others are Mohammedans. So wide is the division between the Roman Catholic and the Orthodox Slavs that in some cases members of the Eastern and Western branches of the Church, belonging to the same nationality wear a different costume in order to emphasize the differences of religion that might otherwise be forgotten or overlooked. In Galicia there are not only the Roman and Orthodox branches of the church, but there are also three or four other branches. One of these, the Uniates, which is a compromise between the two and intended to be a sort of link between the Eastern and Western churches, is now, it is said, just as distinct from both as any of the other branches of the Church. In this region, which has been the battleground of all the religions in Europe, religious distinctions play a much more important role than they do elsewhere, because the masses of the people have not yet forgotten the bitterness and the harshness of the early struggles of the sects. The result is that religious differences seem to have intensified rather than to have softened the racial animosities. In spite of the divisions and rivalries which exist, there seems to be growing up, under the influence of the struggle against the other and dominant races in the Empire and as a result of the political agitations to which this struggle has given rise, a sense of common purpose and interest in the different branches of the Slavic race; a sort of racial conscienceness, as it is sometimes called, which seems to be one of the conditions without which a race that is down is not able to get the ambition and the courage to rise. It is the presence of this great Slav race in western Europe, groping its way forward under the conditions and difficulties which I have described, but constitutes, as well as I am able to define it, the race problem of Southern Europe. In many respects the situation of the Slavs in the Austro-Hungarian Empire and in Southern Europe generally is more like that of the Negroes in the Southern States than is true of any other class or race in Europe. For one thing, the vast majority of that race are, like the Negroes an agricultural people. For centuries they have lived and worked on the soil, where they have been the servants of the great landowners, looked down upon by the educated and higher classes as "an inferior race." Although they were not distinguished from the dominate classes, as the Negro was, by the color of their skin, they were distinguished by the language they spoke, and this difference in language seems to have been, as far asmutural understanding, and sympathy are concerned, a greater bar than the fact of color has been in the case of the white man and the black man in the South. There is one respect in which the situation of the Negro in America is entirely different from the various nationalities of Austria and Hungary. The Negro is not compelled to get his education through the medium of a language that is foreign to other people by whom he is surrounded. The black man in the South speaks the same tongue and professes the same religion as the white people. He is not seeking to set up any separate nationality for himself nor to create any interest for himself which is separate from or antagonistic to the interest of the other people of the United States. The Negro is not seeking to dominate politically, at the expense of the white population, any part of the country which he inhabits. Although he has suffered wrongs and injustices, he has not become embittered or fanatical. Competition with the white race about him has given the Negro an ambition to succeed and made him feel pride in the successes he has already achieved; but he is just as proud to be an American citizen as he is to be a Negro. He cherished no ambitions that are opposed to the interests of the DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JUNE 24 1911. white people, but is anxious to prove himself a help rather than a hindrance to the success and prosperity of the other race, I doubt whether there are many people in our Southern States who have considered how much more difficult the situation in the Southern States would be if the masses of the black people spoke a language different from the white people around them, and particularly if, at the same time, they cherished political political and social ambitions that were antagonistic to the interests of the white man. On the other hand, I doubt whether the Negro people realize the advantage which they have in speaking one of the great world languages, the language, in fact, that is more largely used than any other by the people who are most advanced in science, in the arts, and in all that makes the world better. English is not only a language, it is the language of a people and a race among whom the highest are neither afraid nor ashamed to reach down and lift up the lowest, and help in their efforts to reach a higher and a better life. In the South of Europe conditions are quite different. The languages spoken there, so far from helping to bring people together, are the very means by which the peoples are kept apart. Furthermore, the masses of the people of Austria speak languages which, until a hundred years ago, had almost no written literature. Up to the beginning of the last century the educated people of Hungary spoke and wrote Latin, and down to the middle of the century was still the language of the Court. Until 1848 there were almost no newspapers, magazines, or books printed in the language spoken by the masses of the people. It has been said that the written or literary languages of the Slavic people have been with one or two exceptions almost created during the past hundred years. In fact, some of the Slavs, although they have a rich oral literature, still have, I have been told no written language of their own. As I have considered the complications and difficulties, both political and economic, which not merely Austria but Europe has to face as a consequence of the different languages spoken by the different races, I have asked myself what would probably happen in our Southern States if, as some people have suggested, large numbers of these foreign peoples were induced to settle there. I greatly fear that if these people should come in large numbers and settle in colonies outside of the cities, where they would have comparatively few educational advantages and where they would be better able and more disposed to preserve their native customs and languages we might have a racial problem in the South more difficult and more dangerous than that which is caused by the presence of the Negro. Whatever else one may say of the Negro, he is, in everything except his color, more like the Southern white man, more willing and able to absorb the ideas and the culture of the white man and adapt himself to existing conditions, than is true of any other race which is now coming into this country. Perhaps my attempt to compare racial conditions in Southern Europe with racial conditions in the Southern United States will seem to some persons a trifle strange and out of place because in the one case the races concerned are both white, while in the other case one is white and one is black. Nevertheless, I am convinced that a careful study of conditions as they exist in southern Europe will throw a great deal of light upon the situation of the races in our Southern States. More than that, strange and irrational as racial conflicts often seem, whether in Europe or in America, I suspect that at bottom they are merely the efforts of groups of people to readjust their relations under changing conditions. In short they grow out of the efforts of the people who are at the bottom to lift themselves to a higher stage of existence. If that be so, it seems to me there need be no fear, under a free government where every man is given opportunity to get an education, where every man is encouraged to develop in himself and bring to the service of the community the best that is in him, that racial difficulties should not finally be adjusted, and white man and black man live, each helping rather than hindering the other.—Outlook. Pregressive ShOe Co. The Progressive Shoe Store Co. New Orleans, 630 South Rampart Street, has been in successful operation for nearly four years. The firm carries quite an assortment of both high and low grades of men's, women's and children's shoes. The company recently moved into their new quarters. The first floor of the new building is occupied as the stores, office and directors' room; on the second floor there are four spacious and airy offices with a parlor and a bath room, which the company rents to professional persons—manicurists, physicians and milliners. The firm was organized over three years ago, by some of the leading men of the race in the city, who realize that there is a large field here for the operation of a shoe store owned and controlled by colored people exclusively. Since the company has been formed, it has met with gratifying success. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Xenia, Ohio.—While seated at the table in Arnett Hall, at Wilberforce University last Monday, the Rev. E. W. Lee, president of Morris Brown College, at Atlanta, Ga., dropped dead from heart trouble. He was surrounded by a number of presidents of colleges of the African Methodist Episcopal church, who were meeting at Wilberforce. A number of colored women residing in London have formed a beneficial social club with the primary object of bringing about a closer relationship between the colored women residing in Europe, both socially and industrially. The club meets every Sunday and Wednesday and holds sewing circles. The officers of the club, which will be known as the Coronation Syndicate Club, are: Laura Hampton, president; Mamie King vice president; Lizzie D. Avery, treasurer; Jennie Haston, secretary; and Siren Nevarro, sergeant-at arms. The Farmers' and Citizens' Bank, Palestine, Texas, of which E. M. Griggs is president and H. L. Price, cashier, scarcely two years old, is one of the strongest in the country. Of the $50,000 for which it is capitalized, nearly $40,000 has been paid in. Last year, so we are informed by its president, the bank handled over $600,000 in paper and cash. Furthermore, it is said to have more money on hand than any of the other five banks in the state. The directors have been able to declare a cash dividend of 10 per cent. for each year the bank has been in operation. Baltimore, Md., May 24.—The colored voters of this city and State are preparing to organize to wage an effective campaign against the Digges disfranchisement bills the coming fall. The Suffrage League will be formally reorganized at a special meeting to be held in June, and thereafter a most energetic campaign will be waged. The league was organized in 1904, one year previous to the defeat of the first disfranchisement, and rendered signal service in that fight and in the one, two years ago. Rev. W. M. Alexander, of this city is the present head of the league. J. G. Cross is one of the wealthiest citizens of Brownsville, Texas, irrespective of race or col- or. He is a leading merchant and business man of extensive affairs. He does a great deal of buying in Galveston. It is stated that he buys from fifty to one hundred car loads at a time, on the ocasion of some of his visits to the city. Mr. Cross at one time operated a schooner between Brownsville, Galveston and New Orleans. He is a native of Mississippi and left his state when a young man, going to Mexico and finally settling in Brownsville, where he has been living for thirty-five years. When this reputable business man, whose credit is recognized, places an order for a bill of goods with Messrs Ullman, Stern and Krauss Galveston, it is said that there is a week's work ahead for this firms employees to work upon. Mr. Cross' wealth is said by some to be close to a half million dollars. Dr. Booker T. Washington intends to prosecute Albert Ulrich, the white ruffian who assaulted him some weeks ago, despite reports to the contrary. Counsellor Wilford H. Smith, Dr. Washington's personal attorney, says the case is being pushed as rapidly as possible. "The public must understand," declared Counsellor Smith. "that the case is primarily in the hands of the District Attorney's office, and is properly the State of New York versus Ulrich. The presecution can be rushed only as fast as the District Attorney's office can do so." Dr. Washington was in New York a few days ago conferring with Counsellor Smith relative to bringing the case to trial, and stated at the time that Ulrich's prosecution would not be dropped by any means. N. Y. Age "Treemonisha," an opera in three acts is the latest contribution to the musical world by a colored composer. Scott Joplin, who wrote "The Maple Leaf Rag" and other syncopated compositions is responsible for "Treemonisha," words and music, which is being published by him also. The story deals with a colored waif who was found under the trees by Ned and Monisha, and because, and because of her inclination to play under the trees she was named "Treemonisha." The scene of the story is laid on a plantation in Arkansas. The book provides for eleven people in the cast and a large chorus. Composer Joplin characterizes the music as "strickly Negro." There are twenty-seven musical numbers and there are 230 pages to the score of the opera.

CROWNED KING OF UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND, LATE ARRIVALS PAY HEAVY FOR SEATS—TAFT SENDS CON- GRATULATIONS. Pp dec dipceh ele se ea rote ce crush and stampede of the coronation crowd that was expected, Amounting as they did to threats, the stern ad: monitions which were contained in the presence of 60,000 troops and 20,; 000 policemen in the streets, served to hold the multitude in seeming awe. ‘The result was that the coronation was celebrated in comparative quie: | tude under gray skies. ‘There was a cool to chilly wind and intermittent rain squalls whipped the upturned faces in the street and assailed those in the uncovered stands. It was not until the appearance of the little royal princes and the Princess Mary in their new coach, the latter bowing constantly with charm- ing graciousness, while the Prince of Wales sat in a corner somewhat over- whelmed, that the crowds were aroused to something akin to patrfotte fervor. Their reception served ad- mirably as an introduction to the appearance of the king and queen, so the cheers which started for the chil- dren grew in volume for the parents until a prolonged acclaim continued throughout the royal progress trom Buckingham Palace to Westminister Abbey. ‘The king's procession reached West- minster Abbey from Buckingham Pal- ‘ace at 11 o'clock. The actual time of the crowning of King George was 12:32 o'clock, and of the queen, 12:52 o'clock. The king and queen left the abbey at 2:03 o'clock, on the conclu- sion of the ceremony, and started back for Buckingham Palace. The king and queen arrived at Buckingham Palace at 2:51, after which they appeared on the balcony of the building in their robes of state. They repeatedly ac- knowledged the greetings of the en- thusiastic crowd below. ‘At daybreak, when -cannon placed in Hyde Park roared out a reveille which was taken up by the guns on London tower, there were indications on every side that the coronation host would be much less than had been an- ticipated. At that time the revelry of the night, which was like that of New Year eve in New York, had ceased. Whitechapel’s hordes had danced and tooted themselves into weariness. Men and women nodded along miles of curbs on the route of the procession or huddled against buildings fasc asteen. Thousunds of others made their beds in St. James’ and Green Parks. ‘The more orderly Londoners enjoyed nearly their normal repose on their own pillows, so there was really nothing frantic attending the scenes preceding the arousing of the city for a day charged with so much national significance. ‘The troops quartered in the various camps in the city turned out at 3:30 o'clock to begin mobolizing, meeting ‘on their way London's bobbies, who were being conveyed to their assigned stetions in motor busses. This dual force, as large as Uncle Sam’s stand- ing army, was moved with a precision wellnigh sinister—at least it had that effect seemingly on the crowds. ‘The absence of a moderate amount of excitement and an entire dearth of deviltry made the occasion seem a bit drab, Persons who had left their beds at daybreak found that they might have had three hours more sleep, ‘The streets were always accessible. ‘The formidable barriers, against which widespread criticism had been raised, were never called into use to the extent of the gates being closed, Serving instead, as signs telling peo- ple to beware of the dog. It must be borne in mind that there were more than enough ee to oc- cupy every:inch of space along the route, but there was no fighting for places and no disorderly scenes such agmake unwielay crowds a menace. Although not brilliant by any means, the day did its best to over- come the fearsomeness of the crowds. ‘The wind whipped out the flags loose from the decorations into a messy flutter, stirring the artificial flowers to fictitious life and took enough sul- triness out of the air to make it in- vigorating. In fact, the temperature was preferable to a sunny day. Estimates are difficult, but the best authenticated place the number who actually viewed the procession at a million people. ‘These assembled be- fore 9 o'clock. The public stands, where the seats cost from 1 to 10 guineas, were completely filled. Late arrivals in London who were need- lessly alarmed over their probable in- ability ‘to see the procession, paid ex- orbitant prices, in one case giving $750 for a room at the Ritz with two small windows which accommodates six persons.

RECIPROCITY IN DOUBT OTHER MATTERS MUST COME BE FORE CANADIAN BILL IS CONSIDERED. Washington.—The throwing of the Democratic wool revision bill into the Senate drove the insurgent Republicans of that body into an open coalition with the Democrats in a demand for a general revision of the tariff and brought about the threatened crisis in the finance committee's control of the Senate. At the end of a bitter fight the resolution by Senator Gore requiring the finance committee to report back the wool bill before July 10th, was adopted by a vote of 39 to 18. The fate of the Canadian reciprocity bill is in doubt as a result of the remarkable developments of the day's session of the Senate. Western Republicans who have fought the reciprocity measure, taking up challenges thrown down by the Democratic leaders, followed each other in rapid succession in their ultimatums to the Senate leaders. These ultimatums were invariably to the effect that before the reciprocity bill is permitted to pass, a Republican Senate will be forced to undertake a revision of other schedules of the tariff, including much more than the woolen revision bill and the free list bill, which have gone through the House. Of the affirmative vote cast for the Gore motion, overthrowing the finance committee, sixteen were Republicans. As the result of the Senate's action, Senator Penrose, before adjournment, called a meeting of the finance committee, of which he is chairman, and he and other regular Republicans predicted that when the Senate convenes the wool measure, together with the free list bill, will be reported adversely. Notable speeches on reciprocity were made in both branches of Congress, Senator Root, announcing that he favored the agreement, advocated and explained his amendment to the wood pulp and paper provision of the bill, around which the reciprocity has centered and which President Taft opposes on the ground that it might jeopardize the whole agreement. Republican Leader Mann in the House attacked the Root amendment as a violation of the Canadian reciprocity agreement. The fight began the instant that the wool revision bill appeared from the House of Representatives. Senator Gore, apparently with the approval of Democratic leaders, moved that the finance committee be instructed to report the bill back to the Senate on or before July 10th. The admitted purpose of the motion was to prevent the finance committee from holding the bill indefinitely or from falling to report at all. The result of the Gore motion was to disrupt so completely the lines that have formed in the Senate that it can not be foretold now when a vote can be reached on the reciprocity bill or whether enough votes can be mustered to pass it without amendment. Senators Cummins, Nelson, Crawford, La Follette, Jones and other Republican insurgents from Northwestern states who have opposed the reciprocity bill because of alleged discrimination against agricultural interests, declared that before a vote would be permitted on the reciprocity bill, they would demand that the other schedules of the tariff be taken up, and would insist upon an attempt to tack many of them upon the reciprocity measure. Taft Scores Drug Frauds. Washington.—President Taft, in a message transmitted to Congress, arraigned the manufacturers of what he denounced "dangerous drug frauds" and urged Congress to amend at this session the pure food and drug law to strengthen that act in vital points of weakness, recently pointed out by decisions of the United States Supreme Court. President Taft believes that unless the law is amended forthwith the country will again be flooded by "injurious nostrums" and "cure-alls" which were common before the pure food law first was enacted.

THE SIN OF SELFISHNESS. INDIVIDUAL ACTION is at the bottom of all buman achitvement, but if each individusl retained to himself all that he gained there would not be much to consider in the aggregate of human accomplishment. Society itself js a voluntary aggregation of individuals for the purposes of mutual help and mutual benefit, The natural law impels animals as well as men to get to- gether for these purposes. Human beings improve their conditions by car- rying out the idea of mutual obligation and dependence, and there is no other way to win and maintain permanent improvement. But there are those who forget these fundamental rules, and who, after employing the means that have been provided them only through prior combinations of effort, seek to reserve the entire benefits of their accomplishments for their own uses, without sharing with others the things that others have enabled them to gain, To a certain extent a man is entitled to the fruits of his own original exertions or adapted accomplishments, but there is always an equitable point where he should begin sharing with his fellows. Mutual progress as well as individual welfare demand that this point should not be overstepped. Some persons are so unwilling that others shall enjoy the benefits and privileges which they themselves enjoy, that they employ all their energies in the ef- fort to destroy their rivals or competitors, the same as animals whose natures make selfishness and greed their highest motives. Some persons who, by a fortimate combination of circumstances arising out of aggregate effort or in- fluence, find themselves rising to positions of social elevation or political or commercial power, immediately start in to sacrifice or cut away from those who have formerly been their support and their stay, All individuals and all races are”affected by the same natural rules. Some may know more than others, but they cannot get far above the average standard of those with whom they are identified in the measurement of their general worth. Their ‘effort to do so is doomed to disgrace and failure. Whether in an individual or in a whole race selfishness is greed, and greed is purely an animal instinct whose natural qualities invite warfare and destruction. ‘There is no greater or grander word or expression known to men or to angels than this one word—Truth. In its larger sense it embraces everything that is known or unknown, for it stands for everything that God has created and called good, But in its more definite meaning it represents that which is right and just as opposed to that which is wrong And truth is always just, No matter how it may hurt or injure, neverthe- jess it is right, for it is but the balance which weighs up against a past wrong, and readjusts and brings to a righteous level. a surface that has been thrown out of its natural condition. ‘The wrongs, the sins which men commit are many, but there is never one that must not at some time, in some way, be redeemed. A lie is not only ‘an abomination, but-it is a fictitious creation of human imagination, and there- fore an outcast of nature. It must die; because there is no true life in it, Al though its fate, its final end is certain, it is best that a lie be nailed to the cross at once, ‘The sooner it is dead the less it will baffle truth, And the lie is the resort of cowards. It springs from minds that know that they are in the wrong and which hope for temporary gain without earning or deserving gain. Men grow in strength and power only as they are willing and able to face and abide by the truth. . Look into the character of the man who flees from or seeks to oppose the truth, and you find one who at heart is a moral coward, He is not capa: ble of great deeds and his life and efforts are worthless to humanity and to himself, The greatest freedom, and therefore the greatest happiness that a man ‘can enjoy is to know that he has not attempted to turn his feeble strength against what is true and right, wyich is the création and the might of God. Many men follow false standards, imagining that they are in the right, and though, for a time, they may seem to prosper, their final downfall ‘and that of their standard is inevitable, for while falsehood may endure while it is not understood, “truth, crushed to earth, shall rise again.”! Then seek the truth bravely; bow to the truth with unshaken faith; honor, strive for and exalt the truth, for nothing else on earth is worth while. and exalt the truth, for nothing else on earth Is worth While, BUY GOOD BOOKS CONCERNING THE NEGRO—START A LIBRARY.

Prior, president of the Prior Furniture Company wistes to ex- press through the columns of your valuable paper, his hearty apprecia- tion of the courtesy extended to him recently by Mr, A. Froman, of 2423 Emerson street, a colored fireman, who was, until last Friday, June 16th, the owner of a “Bull Dog.” Said dog, in « moment of anger, lacerated the hand of Mr. Prior's boy, and he (Mr. Prior) went to see Mr. Froman in regard to having the said dog removed from this “Mundane Sphere,” so he would not be liable to injure any oth- er man, woman or child, and Mr. Fro- man expressed his hearty approval of same, and even went so far as to as- sure Mr. Prior that he would defray all the expenses of medical attendance (which Mr. Prior would not accept) and his only desire was that the dog be “Chloroformed” instead of “Shot.” He very willingly turned said dog over to Mr. Prior, with the above un- derstanding and Mr. Prior proceeded to carry out his wishes. It is @ pleasure to meet a man among men, irrespective of creed or color, and therefore takes this method of expressing his views of a gentle- man when he meets one, and only hopes he may have the pleasure of meeting many more of the same gen- tlemanly bearing.

'MISS MARY L. FITZHUGH, QUEEN OF SONG. "The Bethlehem Baptist Church pre- sented Miss Fitzhugh the much her- alded blind soprano singer to a Den- ver audience Monday evening at Shorter’s A. M. E. Church. So much ‘had been said and written of this young lady that we were all on the qui vive to see for ourselves and we are now of the opinion that half had not been told. Miss Fitzhugh pos- sesses a beautiful soprano voice, which shows much cultivation. She can sing in three different languages and wonderful to relate she can even | play, although she is totally blind. | Miss Fitzhugh is not only a cantalize, but also possesses great elocutionary ability and as a pantominist she was cheered to the echo. The different numbers given by her were all well rendered sand she received much ap: plause to which she fittingly re sponded by several encores. Of our local talent who assisted this sweet, sweet singer, Miss Beatrice Thrasbley did her elf proud as accompanist, Prof, Hewetson Watson fayored the audience with several plano solgg. The select reading by Miss C. C. Rey- nolds was very humorous and was well rendered. The attendance was very good, but not as large as {t should have been, but what was lacking in numbers was made up in enthusiasm. ‘The first and greatest of its kind in the West.

THE INTER-GRADUATES. The Inter-Graduates Association held their exercises Sunday morning at Shorter’s church to a large and appreciative audience. ‘The program, although short, was an excellent one. Miss Eva Carter, a graduate. of the schools of Galesburg, Ill, was the first to appear with a solo which she sang with much expression, Miss Carter possesses a charming person- ality and has a sweet and well culti- vated voice. The next on the program was the address to the graduates on “Selfishness the Evil of To-day,” by the Hon. W. B. Townsend, one of the most noted Negro attorneys of the West. The popular speaker was in fine fettle and he handled his sub- ject with much tact and diplomacy, showing himself to be a thinker, a stu- dent of philosophy, a man of deep re- search and best ‘of all he did not mince matters. He did not give the graduates any sugar-coated pills to swallow. Most speakers in address- ing graduates make them believe that the world is theirs just for the asking. Lawyer Townsend’s address in part, taking his text ‘from the Sermon on the Mount and from the Golden Rule out of which he carved his subject, “Selfishness, the Evil of Today.” He drew comparisons from the lives of Adam and Eve showing that the same selfish natures that existed then exist today. In order to show what diffi- cult problems the graduates would have to encounter in the guise of sel- fishness, he made 2 historical review of modetn conditions, comparing them with the past as he proceeded. He called their attention to the selfish systems underlying the church, state, government and finance. He warned them that the restless natives were demanding immediate relief. Most vividly did he depict how the trades: man robbed the people, the banker robbed the tradesman, and politicians, legislators, ete., robbed: the bankers and finally, the graft got into the hands of the chief boodler, but_the poor suffered it all”and was néver considered. Why is it that the man who digs the minerals, mines the coal, cultivates the wheat, raises the cattle and the sheep, always gets less of the real products than the non-produc- er? Mr, Townsend in his closing re- marks to the graduates told them not to be disappointed when their race, social societies, lodses, etc., would en: tertain them with smiles tonight and the next day entertain the Cancasian with their money; that they need nev- er be discouraged, if like the Ishmael- ites, our races hands would be up: lifted against their own, while all other races are lifting up their hands against them also. He admonished them to be fair, polite, courteous, brave end courageous and to stand by the truth and true manhood and wom- anhood if you stood alone, and not be a graveling sycophant or apoligist, but strong and determined. Alter the baccalaureate address the next was a solo ‘by Mrs. Lillian Jones, ‘one of Denver's most pleasing and popular yoealists, whom it is always @ treat to hear, This year’s graduates are: Misses Nellie Enbanks, Jennie Hicks, Louise Harris, Catherine Hub- bard, Helen Munday, Robertee Barbee, Mosella Joseph, Messrs, A. M. Lewis, A, Wayman Ward and Oglesby Law- pon. ‘The first and greatest of its kind in the West. Home Coming Celebration and Barbecue, Wednesday, June 28th, Bloomfield Park.

DEFENDING THE CONSTITUTION A SENATE PASTIME, Uninitiated Visitors In the Gallery Listen With Growing Alarm While Senators Thunder at Each Other in Debate. So much has been sald about the Constitution and the convention that framed it, that eee reawakened !0- MALS & 83] terest in that ba gn 83 all but forgot- ten document etna reawakened |n- Ta terest in that Va He brn nal all but forgot- ten document has been greatly stimulated in tho tourist section of the senate gallery. Visitors who are not aware of the habits of the senate have been led to Delieve the country was on the verse of a grave constitutional crisis, They listen with growing alarm while sena- tors thunder at each other about the way the Constitution has been rent and trampled on, and then hurry back to their hotels to write letters home telling the folks the government !8 about to break up and that a whole raft of new holes has been found in the Constitution with not a thing In the house to plug them up with. But there really is no cause for alarm and after a few days in the gallery the strangers hegin to see they will have plenty of time to get home and sell their government bonds before the smash comes. Jumping through the constitutional hoop is just a way the senate has of passing the time. When- =s) i = | a ty Te ReRTORy. off 2 Mf he Ss (eau Se wy \,/) =a LORIN eS Doe | oe Malondina the Canativceien ever things drag a little, and the com- mittees are not ready to report their bills and there are no good storles be- ing told in the cloakrooms, the senate puts on one of these shows for the benefit of the galleries, and, inefdent- ally, to provide reading matter to be mailed home to help the folks pass the evenings entertainingly. ‘A constitutional set-to 1s greatly enjoyed by the senate, even apart from the satisfaction senators have in impressing the galleries and the’ coun- try with the fact that they are ae ing vigilant guard to see that liberty and freedom don’t get away in the press of passing appropriation bills Senators are only human, and they certainly do love to sit around the stove, figuratively speaking, and whit. tle on a stick. The senate isn’t so all fired different from the crossroads store at home where senators got their first training. Give the senate a nice, smooth, well seasoned constitutional barrel stave to make shavings of, and it can pass a mighty comfortable, rainy afternoon. After a hard morn- ing’s work passing bills by the fa- tiguing method of leaning back in their chairs and watching the clerk do all the work, the senate brightens up when one of its constitutional ex- perts rises and begins to unroll that sacred document of the fathers. After paying a high tribute to the wisdom and patriotism of the framers,’ he points out that they didn't mean any- think like what the senators on the other side think they meant when they wrote the instrument under whigh the government’ now exists. Whereupon a senator on the other side rises and, after paying a high tribute to the wisdom and patriotism of the framers, he points out that they not only meant what they wrote into the instrument under which the gov- ernment now exists, but a great deal more. The debate {s then on. ‘The Constitution, it has been said, 1s the most remarkable instrument ever struck off at one time by the hand and purpose of man, and It is, in that no two senators can argue ‘about it flve minutes without totally disagreeing as to what it 1s all about. This is the more remarkable in view of the fact that the Constitution is not written in an unknown language and has very few long words in it. The senate takes its constitutional debates very seriously. It pretends not to know that {t has itself turned the Constitution wrong side out, let out the seams in the back, set the buttons over in front, sewed side pock- ets on, and otherwise adapted it to the needs of the growing stripling tt was first designed to clothe. But that is just the senate’s sentiment, and the senate has as much sentiment as a schoolgirl with her first volume of love sonnets. Down in its heart the senate knows that {f Mr. Madison, Mr. Hamilton and the rest of them were alive now, and tried to put anything like the Constitution over on the’ coun- try today, those patriots would get a more exciting run for their money than they experienced when the con- vention sat in Philadelphia. And the chances are the senate would be found leading the fight ‘against thelr revolutionary proceed- ing, and pointing with melanchoy | pride back to the good old days when Charlie Staurt sent out his trusty gov- ernors to rule his faithful colonies un- der the benign sway of a royal char- | ter. HE ADMIRES OUR DEMOCRACY But This Young Berliner Meets With an Extreme Case in the White House. A young German, connected with a big mercantile company in Berlin, who is spending some time in this country, hasn't quite recovered from the effects of a visit which he paid President Taft at the White House re- cently. He admires democracy, but he asserts that, in his opinion, t can go much too far. “The man at the door says my name,” relates the Berliner in his amusing English, “and believe {t or not, my knees rub together and my heart raps against my right-hand upper waistcoat pocket. On my face there comes a whiteness, and my fore- head drips with perspiration. He ts the very first president I have seen. As I go forward and the big, fat man smiles, I smile—a very ill smile—and then we shake hands, Still are my knees shaking, and I don't know what one does with one’s hands in such cir cumstances. Pretty soon I find my hands—truly, I tell you—in my trou- sers pockets. “I take them out and say what I had learned the night before to say to the president of the great country. He laughs, and for one brief second I be- leve he {s laughing at my heels that are so close together. I stretch them apart and find that awkward. I put one foot forward, and almost slip on the waxed floor. By that time my handkerchief ts in my hands, as they also are wet from the perspiration of embarrassment. ‘Berlin {s a beaut! ful city,’ I find myself saying to the president as if in a dream. “And after all what I had done,” the German added, “to impress the prest- dent, one man comes up to him. The stranger stands with crossed legs and his hands are on the desk of the pres- ident. ‘Say, boss, what's the matter with your eyes? he asks. And the big man says he has pink eye. Now, I cannot imagine a general, nor anyone else, going up to the kaiser and say- ing: "Boss, your sword is not on straight’ or something like that. Dear me, what would happen?” HAVE FEW MILITARY SECRETS Any Nation May Easily Secure Infor mation Concerning the Resources ‘of This Country. Any person seeking information re- garding the military resources of this country can get all he wants from the government officials or libraries, ac- cording to an article by Gardiner Mack concerning the forelgn spy. Moreover, picture postcards showing views of the fortifications, range find- ers and guns made from detail produc- ing photographs are to be had any- where for insignificant sums. That other nations are not quite so liberal with their information the writer also shows. He calls the United States a kindergarten for spies because none but the veriest tyro in the business are needed to gather together the hidden (?) facts as to our armament. ‘There are a few military secrets kept covered in America, but Mr. Magk asserts they are few. “In only one country in the world,” he writes, “{g there no law against the publica- tion and sale of all information relat- ing to military and naval matters, the United States. The other great pow- ers make the punishment of spies as drastic as possible. The Dreyfus case in France gives an excellent idea of the manner in which a supposed se- cret agent is treated. Only’ recently a naval spy was captured in France— a man belfeved to have secured secret naval plans. His punishment was as quick, as sure and as severe as that administered Captaiti Dreyfus. “Frequent sights in port towns of Europe are signs in several languages warning tourists that no photographs may be taken within certain limits, the metes and bounds being carefully stated. At Gibraltar the English goy- ernment will not permit tourists to land with cameras. Neither will the Japanese at Nagasaki. In fortified towns visitors are permitted only in certain specified districts. Beyond that heavy armed guards bar prog aay! Cyclones Reveal Prosperity. John Fletcher Cox of Comanche county, Kan., told his Washington friends in the lobby of the Arlington that a Kansas cyclone {s sometimes a good advertisement. “There was a cyclone at Eskridge not long ago,” he said, “and the press accounts of the twister told of auto- mobiles, pianos, Brussels carpets and finger bowls being strewn about by the wind. Doesn’t that read like pros- perity? A few years ago a cyclone in that district would have had nothing more valuable than rag carpets, bro- ken chairs and bootjacks to toy with. While we are not yearning for big wind storms, {f we have one we ap- preciate getting a little advertising out of the published stories.” Whore Uncle Barn linseno There are 160 collection distriets in the customs service in the United States and its island possessions and one-quarter of that number do not col- lect enough revenue to pay expenses. ‘The treasury records show that while the customs in 1910 produced, $333,331,153, 41 of the 160 collection districts were losing propdésitions. The average cost of collecting the customs is a little more than three cents for each dollar, but at 31 cus- toms houses the government was obliged to spend more than one dol- lar to get one dollar. It cost $270 to collect one dollar at Natchez, Miss., and many other collection districts fallowed in order. CHARLES 8. WEST JOHN W. WEST WEST BROS.

NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS Warns Banks Against Lax Operations Capital Prisoners May Read Papers Dressmakers Tried to Beat Uncle Sam CARAMBA -HURRY WASHINGTON.—The United States government has investigated a report to the effect that the Maine was blown up in Havana harbor by an American who had been condemned to death by the Spanish, but won his freedom by destroying the American warship. The spy who turned the story into the secret service bureau at Washington asserted that George B. Boynton, a "soldier of fortune" who died recently, was the man who actually blew up the Maine. Horace Smith, biographer of Boynton, declares the story is false and he can prove Boynton was in Venezuela at the time of the explosion. "The Spaniards," said the informer to Chief Wilkle of the secret service, "were entirely unprepared for the visit of the Maine, which was sent to Havana suddenly and without warning. Consequently there was no mine attached to the buoy at which she was moored." "Captain General Blanco and his staff did not relish having a hostile warship in such an advantageous position in the event of war with the United States, which they then regarded as at least a possibility, and it CONTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY MURRAY has been strolling through some of the national banks and glancing over their stock ledgers. As a result, the banks must do a little better housekeeping. In one case the controller spent a whole day with one of the national bank examiners in a bank in a middle west city and personally balanced the stock certificate book, and although this book bore the initials of several examiners as evidence that at different times it had passed through their hands, he found in the book that some of the certificates bore no indorsements; some were indorsed, but the signatures were not witnessed; some were indorsed and witnessed, but were not canceled in any way, and in almost every instance the signature of the president and cashier on the face of the certificate was neither punched out nor crossed out with ink or any other material in any manner whatsoever. As a result of the controller's investigation he issued the following instructions to all banks: "All transfers of stock should be executed either by the stockholder in person or by duly authorized attorney. "All signatures should be witnessed I SEE THEY'VE PINCHED "RED PETE"—I NEVER DID TRUST DAT GUY—!! "WITHOUT newspapers prisoners in any institution are almost unmanageable. They get nervous and are always wondering what is going on in the outside world. They do not keep their minds on the things they are doing and make poor workmen. Give them newspapers and they seem to feel that they are in touch with the world and are partly content." This statement by Louis F. Zinkham, superintendent of the Washington asylum, to the comptroller of the currency, has led to the comptroller authorizing the payment by the government for newspapers for the inmates of the asylum. In the future prisoners at the asylum will have the pleasure of reading both morning and evening papers. Ever since he took charge of the Washington asylum, Superintendent THROUGH the esplonage on dress-makers maintained by special treasury agents with the co-operation of Collector Loeb and Surveyer Henry, a new scheme for defrauding the government of customs duties has been uncovered and checked, resulting in the saving to the treasury of an amount, it is estimated in Washington, between $75,000 and $100,000. Included in this sum to be covered into the treasury through the watchfulness of eagle eyed special agents is a $10,000 consignment of women's wearing apparel shipped from Paris to shopkeepers in New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Boston which has been ordered seized. The American dressmaker would pay in Paris one-fourth or one-third cash and take a bill which on the face of it was the bill for the entire amount paid for model gown and rimmings. was decided to blow her up, under such conditions as might make it appear she had been destroyed by an accidental explosion of her own magazines. A large boiler from the navy yard was taken to the arsenal and filled with powder. It was provided with a mechanism by which it would be exploded by electricity and then hermetically sealed. "The boiler was lashed in a sling under a lighter, which was towed across the bow of the Maine at night. When the lighter was directly in front of the battleship the lines which held the boiler were cut, and it dropped into the mud. "The Spaniards then fixed on Boynton as the person to set off the mine. He had been captured shortly before while conducting a filibustering expedition for the Cubans, whom he had alped during the the Ten Years' war, and was then imprisoned in Cabanas fortress. "According to the story, he was tried and sentenced to death, but was offered life and liberty if he would press the button that was to destroy the Maine, and swear never to reveal the secret. He accepted these terms and on the night of February 15, 1898, when the Maine swung around until her bow was directly over the mine, with her keel only three or four feet above it, he was taken to the Machina wharf, where he threw the switch that caused the explosion. Then he was set free and left Cuba." BE MORE CAREFUL IN THE FUTURE SURE SIR BANKER ficers of the bank should be satisfactorily authenticated. "All transfers made by attorneys, administrators, executors, agents, guardians or trustees should be accompanied by evidence of their authority to transfer, and all transfers from corporations, associations and societies must be executed by duly authorized officers only, and accompanied by evidence of authority to make the transfer. "Transfers to or from minors should be made through their guardian and authority to act must be sworn when- ever necessary. "Surrendered certificates must be marked 'canceled' on their face, and the signatures of the bank's officers thereon either cut or punched out, or crossed out in ink, and if a stock certificate book is used, the canceled certificates should be securely attached to the stubs; otherwise they should be filed and careful preserved." Zinkham has noticed that inmates made great efforts to have newspapers smuggled into them. Some of them could go without tobacco and other things they were accustomed to, but all made constant demands for news from the outside world. Often he caught inmates having outsiders bringing them papers. "It is an absolute fact that prisoners are harder to manage when they are deprived of newspapers than when they are given the papers every day," says the superintendent. "When they have the papers they are satisfied. They can sit down and read the news, and this gives them topics to talk about. "Now that the comptroller has authorized the payment of government money for the papers, I feel satisfied that I will have a much more contented lot of prisoners than I had formerly. We always have allowed some of the prisoners to buy papers, but all of them did not have the necessary money. "It is particularly noticeable that almost all of the prisoners want particularly to read about their own cases." I ALWAYS GET WHAT'S COMING TO ME The French dealer would send this "short bill" to the American consulate for certification, and the dressmaker upon her arrival here would show the consular invoice to the appraiser on the pier, with the design of having it approved and her goods assessed on only the face value of the invoice. Later on the Paris merchant would mail to the American modiste a genuine bill for the goods, in order that the customers who ordered imported gowns and finery might pay a substantial profit upon the real cost of the dress goods.
