THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY THE MANFAR- THEST DOWN CHILD LABOR AND SULPHUR MINES. FIFTH ARTICLE BY BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. VOL. XVII. THE MA THEST CHILD LABOR AND SULPHU BY BOOKER The cruelties to which the child slaves have been subjected, as related by those who have studied them, are as bad as anything that was ever reported of the cruelties of Negro slavery. These boy slaves were frequently beaten and pinched, in order to wring from their overburdened bodies the last drop of strength they had in them. When beatings did not suffice, it was the custom to sing the calves of their legs with lanterns to put them again on their feet. If they sought to escape from this slavery in flight, they were captured and beaten, sometimes even killed. As they climbed out of the hot and poisonous atmosphere of the mines their bodies, naked to the waist and dripping with sweat, were chilled by the cold draughts in the corridors leading out of the mines, and this sudden transition was the frequent cause of pneumonia and tuberculosis. In former years children of six and seven years of age were employed at these crushing and terrible tasks. Under the heavy burdens (averaging about forty pounds) they were compelled to carry, they often became deformed and the number of cases of curvature of the spine and deformations of the bones of the chest reported was very large. More than that, these children were frequently made the victims of the lust and unnatural vices of their masters. It is not surprising, therefore, that they early gained the appearance of gray old men, and that it has become a common saying that a caruso rarely reaches the age of twenty-five. It was with something of all this in my mind that I set out from Palermo a little before daylight one morning in September to visit the mines at Campo Franco, on the southern side of the island, in the neighborhood of Girgenti. My misgivings were considerably increased when, upon reaching the railway station to take the train, I found that the guide and interpreter who had been employed the night before to accompany us on the trip had not made his appearance. We waited until all the porters at the station and the guards on the train were fairly in a fever of excitement in their well-meant efforts to get us and our baggage on the train. Then, at the last mo- State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House RADC THE JOURNAL DENVER ment, with the feeling that we were taking a desperate chance, we scrambled aboard and started off into a wild unknown, which no guide-book had charted and, so far as I knew, no tourist had ever visited. The train carried us for some distance along the fertile plain between the sea and the hills. It was just possible to make out in the twilight of the early morning the dim outlines of the little towns we passed. At length, just as we were able to catch the first gleams of the morning sun along the crests of the mountains, the railway turned abruptly southward and the train plunged into a wide valley between the brown and barren hills. At Rocca Palomba we left the main line of the railway, which turns eastward from there in the direction of Catania, and continued our journey with the somewhat ruder comforts of an accommodation train. From this point on the way grew rougher, the county wilder, and the only companions of our journey were the rude country folk, with an occasional sprinkling of miners. At the little town of Lercara we entered the zone of the sulphur mines. From now on at nearly every station we passed I saw great masses of the bright yellow substance, pilled in cars, waiting to be carried down to the port of Girgenti for shipment to all parts of the world, and particularly to the United States, which is still the largest market for this Sicilian gold. The nearer the train approached our destination, the more uncomfortable I grew about the prospects that was before us. I felt very sure that I should be able to reach Campo Franco and perhaps see something of the mines, but whether I should ever be able to get out again and what would become of me if I were compel to seek shelter in some of the uncompromising places I saw along the way was very uncertain. Fortunately, Dr. Robert E. Park of Boston, who was traveling with me, and who accompanied me on nearly all of my excursions of this kind, was with me on this trip. * * * * * The mines at Campo Franco are on the slope of the mountain, just above the railway station. A mile or more across the great empty --- ADC THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, AUGUST 5 1911. valley, high upon the slope of the opposite mountain, is the village from which the mines get their name, a little cluster of low stone and cement buildings, clinging to the mountain-side as if they were in imminent danger of slipping into the valley below. A few hundred yards above the station great banks of refuse had been dumped into the valley, and a place leveled off on the side of the mountain, where the furnaces and smelters were located. There were great rows of kilns, like great pots, half buried in the earth, in which tue ore is melted and then run off into forms where it is cooled and allowed to harden. After leaving Campo Franco I traveled through this whole region. In many places the mountain slopes are fairly honeycombed with holes, where the miners in years past have dug their way into the mountain in search of the precious yellow mineral. For many miles in every direction the vegetation has been blasted by the poisonous smoke and vapors from the smelters, and the whole country has a blotched and scrofulous appearance which is depressing to look upon, particularly when one considers the amount of human lives it has cost to create this condition. I have never in my life seen any place that seemed to come so near meeting the description of the "abomination of desolation" referred to in the Bible. There is even a certain grandeur in the desolation of this country which looks as if the curse of God rested upon it. I am not prepared just now to say to what extent I believe in a physicial hell in the next world, but a sulphur mine in Sicily, is about the nearest thing to a hell that is conceivable in my opinion. In the mines to which I went I found the heat, the sulphur, and the people; with these three elements there seemed nothing lacking to constitute a hell. As I have already said, however, there are indications that in the sulphur mines, as elsewhere in Sicily, the situation of the man farthest down is improving. I pray God that it is so, for I could not picture an existence more miserable than the slow torture of this cursing labor in the hot and poisonous air of these sulphur mines. Let me say also that I came away from the sulphur mines and from Sicily with a very much better opinion of the people than when I entered. I went to Italy with the notion that the Sicilians were a race of brigands, a sullen and irritable people who were disposed at any moment to be swept off their feet by violent and murderous passions. I came away with the feeling that, whatever might be the faults of the masses of the people, they were, at least, more sinned against than sinning, and that they deserve the sympathy rather than the condemnation of the world. DELEGATES FROM OKLAHOMA. Concerning the Wealth and Prominence of Some of Oklahoma City's Citizens. By C. Pauline Douglass. (Special to Colorado Statesman.) The Oklahoma delegation to the National Negro Educational Association, which convenes in this city from August 12th to August 15th, inclusive, was named by Governor Cruce of Oklahoma, Monday, July 24, 1911. The delegation includes F. S. E. Brown, A. G. W. Sango, William Harrison, A. B. Whitby, Mrs. C. A. Waldron, J. L. Jones, B. J. J. Westbrook, Mrs. M. J. Brockway and Rev. W. H. Jernagan of Oklahoma City; Mrs. Dr. Banks, Emmett Stewart, W. T. Brown and Archie V. Jones of Muskogee; Inman E. Page and J. R. Hogan of Langston; Miss Ruth Johnson and A. J. Anderson of Guthrie; H. G. Kenyon, S. M. Dillard and B. C. Franklin of Ardmore; P. M. Delaney and T. S. Wiggins of Wagoner; M. H. Wakefield, R. A. Brooks, R. A. Ransom and W. W. Cowan of Brookville; J. Wilson Pettus of MeAlester; Coody Johnson and Dr. A. Tyson of Newoka; S. Douglass Russell of Taft, Postmaster Cross of Lima, W. C. Leftwich of Boley, a town composed entirely of Negroes, and J. I. Krarns of Dover. Among this list of delegates may be found men and women occupying every walk of life, wealth, culture, refinement, business, tact, prominence and so forth. Mrs. M. J. Brockaway is an energetic, untiring, successful, unassuming business woman, conducting a large millinery and dressmaking establishment in Oklahoma City that would be a credit to Chicago, St. Louis or Denver. A. G. W. Sango, an attorney of note, was born, reared and educated in Muskogee, Okla., once having been president of the Creek National bank of that city, with a capital stock of $100,000. He recently moved to Oklahoma City, and with T. S. E. Brown, another prominent lawyer, fitted up offices together, and the firm reads Brown & Sango, attorneys at law, which appears to be very promising. A. B. Whitney, another one of Oklahoma City's business men, is a dentist by trade, yet he owns some very valuable property. Rev. W. H. Jernagan, being pastor of Tabernacle Baptist church, the largest Negro Baptist church in Oklahoma City, is an untiring, sympathetic and devout Christian, a man slow to anger, quick to mercy, has an elegant family, consisting of three beautiful daughters, who are both lovable and accomplished. William Harrison, a lawyer, an eloquent speaker, who holds his audience spellbound when delivering any oration, is both successful and influential—with that ever-ready "hand-shake" disposition and an ever-ready smile for everyone, be came quite famous this spring in the case where five Negroes, held up, robbed and killed one white man, who were sentenced to hang June 21st, then July 7th. Mr. William Harrison, with his untiring efforts, has succeeded in securing a stay of execution until the meeting of the fall term of court. In pleading for those five Negroes the Oklahomaan was quoted to say, RACE NEWS Hon. J. E. Bush, N. G. S. of the National Order of the Mosaic Templars of America, will report a cash balance on hand of more than $25,000.00, with all claims paid. This is indeed an excellent record for a young institution. The next annual meeting of the National Medical association will be held in Hampton, Va., from Aug. 22 to 24, inclusive. The organization will be the guest of the Tidewater Medical association, which will entertain the national body in good old fashion Southern style. The excitement in St. Louis over the case of Mrs. Collins, who was discovered to have an invincible stain of Negro blood and who was discovered to have an invisible strain of Negro blood and whose husband therefore republished her and her infant child, led to very foolish action on the part of half a dozen young men in the Christian Brothers' College, who refused to receive their diplomas if a colored youth was allowed to graduate with them. They had for three years suffered the association and their action was belated. The president was firm, and we are pleased that The Western Watchman, the Catholic journal of the Archdiocese, supports him. These youth, when they go to Rome to study for the priesthood, will have black Negroes from Dahomey or Zulu land in their classes. The church claims to know no distinction of race. The courts of Georgia have undertaken a new method of dealing with criminal Negro boys. Any Negro farmer who is well recommended may have a number of these lads on trial. He is to take them and work them and teach at his own expense with the end in view of reforming the boys. He must report regularly regarding the progress and care of the lads or the privilege of keeping the boys will be taken from the farmer. Rev. James Griswald, of Coweta county, was the first to avail himself of the privilege. He is a prosperous planter and minister and has about six of the boys "Never was there ever in the annals of history of Oklahoma a lawyer that could pour out a more eloquent speech." Mr. W. Harrison, with his family, own and reside in a beautiful home on E. Seventh, in Oklahoma City. NO 47 on his plantation teaching what they will absorb of the practical phases of agricultural life. In connection with Mrs. Alice Dugged Cary of Morris Brown College, Mr. Griswald is making a greater effort just now than any one in Ga. for the establishment of reformatories for Negro boys. It will be of especial interest to young colored men who are anxious for a military career to note that after the assignment of West Point graduates to the corps of engineers this year, there will still exist ten vacancies in the grade of second lieutenant in that corps. These will be filled from civil life, as provided for in the last river and harbor act, which increased the corps, and an order is now being prepared by the War Department for competitive examination of civilian candidates. To be eligible for appointment a civilian must be an unmarried citizen of the United States, between the ages of 21 and 29. It is also required that a candidate shall hold a diploma from an approved technical school. Secretary of War Stimson recently held that political influence was not necessary to secure a fair chance for these appointments in the army. According to the law they are open to all comers, who are able to comply with the conditions required. Richmond, Va., July 25.—It was noticeable at the session of the Board of Directors of the Grand Fountain, United Order of True Reformers, held in this city, last week, that the officials have become divided into warring camps, with Grand Worthy Master Holmes on one side and Chief W. R. Griffin, of Washington, on the other. Considerable ill feeling is said to exist. The controversy between the two officials was participated at a meeting held recently at which Chief Griffin stated that Grand Worthy Master Holmes was not only too timid in the discharge of his duties, but that he had made many mistakes which had cost the order quite a sum financially. Additional warrants have been issued against L. B. Phillips, who was already under a bond of $3,000. Phillips, who was bookkeeper of the True Reformers' Savings Bank, was arrested on the charge of having forged checks to the amount of $100.75. The Grand Fountain will hold an important session August 22. LATEST NEWS EPITOMIZED FROM TELEGRAPHIC REPORTS THAT COVER THE WEEK'S EVENTS.

One thousand nine hundred marriage licenses have been issued in Kansas City since January 1st, and 600 suits for divorce have been filed. The government will appeal to the Supreme Court the Harriman merger suit which was decided in favor of the railroads by the United States Circuit Court at St. Louis. One motorman was killed and five persons seriously hurt in a collision between two interurban electric cars on the Ann Arbor division of the Detroit United Railway, near Detroit. More than a score were less seriously hurt. Making over a customer's face to fit a diminutive hat and then slipping the under-sized headgear on with the aid of a shoe horn and soapstone, as in the tale of Cinderella's slipper, are among the simple things that the milliner will be compelled to do this fall. Application will be made to the General Board of Pardons which meets September 12th in Leavenworth, Kan., for the release of John R. Walsh former president of the Chicago National bank, convicted of misapplication of the institution's funds. With the big ponds which have furnished the water supply many years for Charlotte, N.

A woman, Miss Margaret Kelley, is now in actual charge of the mints of the United States. Finances for July were practically featureless except for an increase of about $25,000,000 in the public debt.

The Senate, by a vote of 48 to 30, passed the Farmers' Free List bill, after the measure had been slightly changed from the form in which it passed the House. A pension of $4 a week for every man and woman more than 60 years of age is provided for in a bill by Representative Victor L. Berger. He is the Socialist member from Wisconsin. Steps toward recreating the American Tobacco Company out of the elements now composing it, in harmony with the decision of the Federal Supreme Court have been taken in New York. Senator Smoot of Utah, in a speech in the Senate opposing any change in the sugar schedule for the present tariff law, contended that the beet sugar industry of the country would cease if the duty on imported sugar was removed. The signing of an order by Postmaster General Hitchcock extending the postal savings system to ten cities whose class is the same as that of Denver, has given rise to the report that Denver is soon to be included in the chain of banks. Mr. Taft is expected to send the arbitration treaty between the United States and Great Britain, and probably the treaty with France, to the Senate before the special session adjourned. Final arrangements have been made for signing the treaty. Ground has been gained by the Democratic-Progressive Republican condition for broader tariff revision and it is confidently predicted in both houses that a conference compromise bill, the 'farmers' free list bill, and possibly the cotton bill, with steel, sugar and other schedules, would be passed. Reciprocity with Mexico, similar to Canadian reciprocity, is proposed in a resolution introduced by Representative Burleson of Texas, calling on President Taft immediately to start negotiations with Mexico, "looking to free commerce between the two countries." Encouraged by the success of the postal savings system in the hundreds of cities, Postmaster General Hitehcock signed an order extending the system to Philadelphia, Brooklyn-Cleveland, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, St. Paul, Louisville, Jersey City and Wilmington. The House committee on judiciary, following charges and denials between the two Wickershams of the government—the attorney general and the delegate from Alaska, decided that had no power to do anything but report the evidence to the House.

Pueblo Man Kills Bandit. Pueblo.-Steve Gregor, as he entered the gate leading to his home, was attacked by two highwaymen, who demanded him to throw up his hands and give over all the money he had, amounting to $400. Gregor dodged two shots fired by the highwaymen, and, whipping out his own revolver, shot one of the men through the mouth and in the left breast, killing him instantly. The other man broke and ran and eluded the officers. Gregor had closed his saloon a little after midnight and was returning home. The highwaymen held up four other persons earlier in the evening and secured over $100 in money and two gold watches. To show their apreciation of his act in killing one of the highwaymen, residents of the neighborhood in which Gregor lives are planning a celebration. Will Finish Moffat Road. Denver—So far as the Moffat road is concerned, Wall street—or that large faction thereof which has acknowledged the control of the Harriman railroads and allied interests—has buried the hatchet and the completion of the Moffat road through to Salt Lake City is in sight. Coincident with the tacit agreement to withdraw all opposition to the financing of the Moffat road and the resultant completion of that road through the virgin empire of western Routt county and eastern Utah, the Union Pacific and the Moffat road have reached an agreement whereby the Union Pacific is to handle all traffic the Moffat road may see fit to turn its way, and under a very satisfactory arrangement. This is in marked contrast to the stand taken by the Union Pacific and allied lines regarding the Moffat road, and to the obstacles placed in the way of the financing of the road during the lifetime of E. H. Harriman. This reported cessation of subtle hostilities has been brought about through the efforts of President William G. Evans and Vice President and General Manager D. C. Dodge, who recently spent several days with the leading financiers and railroad men of the East. Mr. Evans still is in New York closing a deal whereby $500,000 of the $4,000,000 note issue of the Colorado-Utah Construction Company will be taken up and interest and commissions paid, and $2,500,000 notes remaining extended for one year, this leaving approximately a $190,000 balance from the subscriptions pledged at the time of the reorganization of the Moffat road. Strawberry Growers Facing Loss. Steamboat Springs—A shortage of strawberry pickers has put local growers in a bad plight and it is estimated that more than 1,000 crates of ripe berries will probably go to waste unless pickers are found.

Unique Candy Box That Was Made in Spain—The Work "Big Hand" Gilbert Did—imitation Bills and Coins. Ninety-nine per cent. perfect, a $1 bill struck off on the top of a tin box lies confiscated at the United States secret service headquarters in the treasury department in Washington. C It is but the latest, although in some respects the strangest addition to the most unusual collection of relics made by government. There are many more such specimens. Each one in some manner bears the pattern of a bill or coin minted for circulation in the United States. This collection exists because many years ago a painting of three $5 bills hung in a dingy Bowyer saloon. A man with enormously large hands caught sight of the delicate and accurate tracery of the artist's brush. Each day he went into the bar the picture was before him. Finally a curious freak of criminal psychology gripped him, and within a year he was pen etching the most dangerous counterfeits with which the secret service has probably ever had to deal. "That painting, innocent in itself, pointed the way and the ease with which 'queer' bills might be etched with a pen on bond paper instead of on canvas," said Captain Moran, acting chief of the secret service, explaining why such an apparently arbitrary confiscation should be made, as in the case of the tin box cover. "Of course, nobody believes that this box cover could ever be passed as money," continued the captain, "but you know how youngsters who read the old penny dreadfuls go out and try to rob and kill because it appears easy in the stories. This is much the same thing. Only this is much more dangerous. The man with the big hands got away with his counterfeiting game for a long time. "Then, too, in the case of this box top, on which the printed face of the bill is 99 per cent. perfect, think of what damage could be done if counterfelt bills were struck from this engraved plate. "This box was designed for a Christmas candy receptacle. I have found that it was made in Santander, Spain, for a Cuban firm." "No, there isn't much counterfeiting of United States obligations done abroad, but there are lots of boxes like this, only none so perfect, manufactured. We have other boxes here, made to resemble stacks of coins, and the like." In this way it really took the dangerous operations of the man with the huge hand to bring the government to a realization of the true significance that a painting, box or advertisement might have to a mind capable of taking a criminal turn. This led to the passage of a law in 1891 which makes the reproduction of any obligation of the government—coins, bills, bonds, revenue or postage stamps—a misdemeanor and attaches a heavy fine. Over the mantel in the office of the service hangs a framed $5 bill. It is nearly three feet long and proportionately wide. It was taken from the window of a Chicago shoe store some years ago. Before one of the windows hangs a transparency, made from a negative, which shows two $1 bills and two quarter dollars. The photograph was made for reproduction on the silk linings of hats sold by a Baltimore firm for that price. Many of these hats were disposed of before the secret service took a hand. On another wall of the room many palntings hang. Usually they are made on wood, for the bills look much more natural when they are not painted on canvas. One of these pictures represents a number of barrels overflowing with gold certificates. Almost every gold or silver certificate now in use has at some time or other been pictured to just short of perfection by the brush of an artist and has found its way into the collection. Then there are records of selzures of which no relics were obtainable, as in a recent instance of a Baltimore merchant, who caused a huge electric sign to be made carefully and exactly of minute incandescent bulbs—a remarkably faithful and accurate blazing dollar bill—and also in the case of another merchant on whose shop window was painted a $5 bill seven feet long. Nearly Perfect Counterfeits. The career of the old counterfeiter with the big hands is classic in the annals of the secret service because he is probably the greatest example of the criminal influence a painting of a United States certificate can wield, as well as because he was perhaps the pioneer of counterfeiters who have etched their queer with a pen instead of depending on engraved plates. Framed, as examples of the nearly perfect and most dangerous of counterfeits, a Farragut and two Lincoln $100 bills, and one Hamilton $20 and one Franklin $50 bill hang in the secret service office. While Captain Moran, who is now the acting chief of the United States secret service, discussed his curious collection of paintings and advertisements, of which the candy box is the most unique, he recalled the history of "Big Hand" Gilbert. It was due to this counterfeiter's work that the custom of confiscating paintings of money was established. Gilbert was ostensibly a German farmer, living over on the Jersey side. He made bi-weekly trips to New York city, and on every trip stopped at a little bar where, above the long rows of bottles, hung a painting of a $1 bill. Whenever Gilbert, who at that time really was a farmer, stopped for his drink the painting, with every line of the bill accurately followed, stared him in the face. That was in 1882. Two years later Glibert, whose hands were so large and apparently clumsy that they won him the nickname of the man with the big hands, recalled that when a boy in Germany he had been proficient with a pen and that a great future as an etcher had been predicted for him. So one night, after gazing for an hour at the bill, Gilbert went to his little farm across the river and told his wife, a hard working woman, that he had conceived the idea of an invention which would make them rich. He said that he wished to keep the nature of his device a secret and refused even to tell his wife. There, after nightfall, he labored for months before he produced his first bill—a Hamilton $20 certificate. His work was so perfect and his hands so large and clumsy in appearance that no one ever suspected him, and while he went about New York, making a small purchase here and there at different places, he was floating quite a goodly number of bad twenties and fifties. There was absolutely no clew to fix the identity of the maker. The treasury agents were at a standstill, and then Gilbert, having progressed in his hidden occupation, $100 bills began to make their appearance, and three of these—two Farragut heads and a Lincoln head—fell into the hands of the agents, having passed through the New York subtreasury undetected, and caught at the treasury department. "The unintentional application of a test, which we would urge everybody to use, caused Gilbert's undoing," said Captain Moran in speaking of the case. No matter how carefully a counterfeit bill is made, whether engraved or etched, certain portions of it will blur when dampened. This is especially true in regard to the numbers on counterfeit bills. The government bills from the bureau of engraving and printing do not blur. "There have been other instances of pen etched work. But Gilbert was a genius at it. No pen note man ever even approximated the accuracy of detail and cleancut work he did. And he used only ordinary bond paper, too, but, of course, a good quality. The silk threads of the government paper were simulated by lines, and it really took a government expert to catch his work." And this is why the government won't let you display a painting of money or use the design of a dollar or a stamp on an advertisement. HOW WILKIE GOT A "BEAT" Story of Long Famous Head of Secret Service During His Early Newspaper Days. In days—not long ago either—before telephones were prevalent in Chicago, an enterprising young newspaper reporter found himself five miles from his office. A terrific fire, of interest to every citizen, was at its 1930 height. It was near midnight and the paper was within a short time of going to press. There was not the slightest chance of getting the story in before the edition got away. The rival reporters realized the conditions and gritted their teeth. Without a word, the man in question went to a fire alarm signal box. The door was open. He unlimbered the Morse key within and tapped a call to a friendly operator at fire headquarters. With rapidity and skill he communicated to his friend a graphic account of transpiring events. Ten minutes later the city editor of the paper had the story. It was a distinct beat for the resourceful in the career of a man who was later to become a national figure. John E. Wilkle, famous as the head of the secret service, was the reporter. He had picked up telegraphy while covering the night police and fire headquarters for his paper. Now Mr. Wilkle in addition to his secret service duties is head of the United States customs agents.

Elaborate preparations are going forward for the annual picnic of the Colorado Statesman at Bloomfield Park on August 16th. We are going to set a mark for picnic folks to copy, for we know that our patrons do not expect anything ordinary when this newspaper goes on a frolie. We want to meet the people in one big day of enjoyment and we are determined to do our part to make that day a memorable one. Big folks, little folks and folks of every stature and station, who know how to enjoy the season's greatest opportunity for fun and solid pleasure, are invited to pack their baskets and come see how we do things out of doors on that day. We work hard through the year to fill the people's heads with knowledge of happenings and events that affect us all in the varied conditions of life, and we want to throw off all care, just for one day and fill your hearts with happiness and joyful pleasure, sufficient to make future labors seem easy and worth while. Music, sports, unique pastime features and fraternal and social reunions for all our old and new friends, are on the rich and varied program which we are preparing and their character and duration will be such as to allow no stingy limit to the day's enjoyment. In every way and at every turn, the best in every line is being provided, and arrangements are already made to afford the people every convenience and every opportunity for a day of real recreation. We boost a reputation for meeting the people's needs and expectations, and there are going to be no disappointments in this case, if careful preparation and lavish expense will insure the realization of our aims and plans. Remember the day, Wednesday, August 16th and let your response be a setting aside of all other duties and pleasures for the sake of participating in what promises to be a high-class, record-breaking event. THE UNIVERSAL RACE CONGRESS. THE first universal race congress ever held in the world will convene in London, England, this week. The object of such a gathering is to discuss plans and means whereby the various race divisions of the earth may be brought into closer fellowship through a better understanding of their respective conditions and a heartier co-operation along moral lines. The idea was first suggested in 1906, and has taken five years to mature, for at first it was ridiculed quite as much as it was endorsed. Experience has broadened the views of men and the world has progressed morally in those five years, making it possible for Dr. Felix Adler, the originator of the idea, and his thousands of endorsers to realize their aim. The civilization of twenty races will be represented at this congress by speakers of those races and by papers prepared by them. Prof. W. E. B. DuBois, who recently visited Denver, is one of the officials and will make one of the important addresses. It is not expected that the conclusions of the congress, or any step that it may take, will go very far at the present time toward changing existing conditions and relations anywhere, for the moral influence of the delegates is the only finite power backing the movement; but the consent of so many nationalities to engage in a conference of this nature is an assurance in itself of a growth of friendly sentiment and mutual interest which promises much for the future peace and happiness of mankind. Doubtless many great lessons will be taught at this meeting and many valuable ideas of moral philosophy and inter-racial interest will be disseminated over the world through the personal efforts of the delegates on returning to their respective countries. From the standpoint of practical effort, therefore, this congress really assumes a character of greater importance in its influence upon the world's future welfare than that popularly accredited to the more powerful diplomatic courts of the capitals of the world, for the powers of the latter are strictly political and not altogether unselfish. At this London meeting the advanced thought of the Chinaman, the Japanese, the East Indian, the Turk, to Egyptian, the Thibetan, the Arab, the Zelander, the Filipino, the Malay, the Abyssinian, the Ethiopian and many others will meet the advanced thought of the Caucasian, whose political rule extends over many of the former named racial branches, and with a conscientious spirit of fairness and justice naturally governing their deliberations, untrammeled with the restraining lust for political advantage, a unanimous verdict of vast import and world-wide influence ought to be finally reached. The Caucasian, the most powerful among the races of earth, will find it largely his duty to make concessions, and the fact that the idea emanates from him indicates that he fully recognizes the obligation and the need. Much also must be conceded by other races in the effort to harmonize conflicting ideals and customs, but there should be no insurmountable obstacles in the way of complete agreement. The actual and close contact of the colored and white races in the United States as a single domestic and governmental entity, ought to furnish much in the way of practical example that will need to be learned in the working out of a system looking to the universal intercourse of races upon a basis that will meet the fundamental requirements of the world's highest morals. Other congresses will necessarily follow this one to advance the work now begun. By VIRGINIA RANDOLPH HAT kind of a women do women like? What a queer question! Women like all—no; not all women, of course—there are some women who are simply impossible. W The women we see across the footlights, for instance. There are many varieties in the orchestra stalls alone. Those who come with their young men seldom know the name of the play. They talk nearly all the time, and when they are not talking they are thinking of the walk home. We don't like them. Then those who want to be actresses—they all think they were born to the stage—we just know are looking hard at us and thinking all the show people should be doing domestic work. They are unlovable, too. Then there are women who are there every Monday afternoon in the same seats. They believe the villain really dies, and that the leading man is an Adonis. Distance certainly lends enchantment; and so does the spotlight. Well, we pity them; and pity may be akin to, but it isn't, genuine affection. We never get very fond of the women out in the big world who try to exploit us, and invite us to afternoon carnivals of weak tea and sandwiches with the inside layer photographed on. I'm sure we could be temporarily fond of a hostess who would habitually forget to padlock the chest of real food. And we are cool toward those gentle persons who introduce us to their friends in order to point a moral and adorn a tale. It's only natural to dislike the role of Horrible Example. Among our own people it is different. Twenty weeks of one-night stands on the kerosene circuit makes one yearn for a kindred soul; and it isn't uncommon to form friendships that last a whole season, closing at Mauch Chunk. Of course it would be different if we all had a comfortable home, with a fireplace and a conventional source of support. We would have to be careful then. A I'm going to be real frank. I think women like stout, stupid women, who haven't told the truth since childhood, and haven't any luck with men. They're so—so comfortable. What I am about to say does not apply to one suffering from some acute illness or where the case demands the services of a trained nurse, as the latter is well protected and does not have to speak for himself. But it is impossible to relate here the harm that is done every day to those afflicted with chronic troubles, and especially patients whose ailments are those of the nerves, when they are subjected to long calls by friends or old acquaintances from out of the city. Such visitors would no doubt be shocked if they knew half the damages done by their often repeated visits, Visits to Sick Are Often Made Too Long By E. J. LAIRD What I am about to say does not apply to one suffering from some acute illness or where the case demands the services of a trained nurse, as the latter is well protected and does not have to speak for himself. But it is impossible to relate here the harm that is done every day to those afflicted with chronic troubles, and especially patients whose ailments are those of the nerves, when they are subjected to long calls by friends or old acquaintances from out of the city. Such visitors would no doubt be shocked if they knew half the damages done by their often repeated visits, of the nights passed by the patients in wakefulness and suffering that have been caused by the excitement and strain during the day. It seems strange that people of intelligence have to be told. It places the one afflicted in a very uncomfortable position. A sick person dislikes to own to very near and dear friends that it hurts to listen to and respond to a visitor's chatter, fearing isolation, perhaps, or injured feelings if they tell the penalty they must pay as a result of the visit. It requires strength and a good deal of nervous energy in even those who are comparatively well to entertain callers, let alone those who are not well. There are so many ways of letting your friends know that you don't forget them aside from visiting them. A pretty little card with a verse or a line that will bring them cheer and hope would be appreciated. The high school boy who cheats is dishonest and no amount of argument can make him otherwise. Correct Many Errors of Teacher and Pupil By DR. HAROLD J. STEERE Chicago The lesson should be systematically taught and explanations clearly given. There seems to be much "go as you please" instead of a stated curriculum for each year. Home work should be given advisedly instead of no home work one day and enough to keep the child up till twelve o'clock at night on another. When a pupil does anything wrong, whether intentionally or otherwise, he should be punished in accordance. To give a zero and thus rob a child of his right average because he was guilty of some slight misdemeanor is unfair and is the cause of great discouragement. It disheartens and ruins the school life of many pupils. Systematic reviews should precede all examinations. The public schools as a whole are well conducted and good, and what is wanted is a thoughtful correction of errors of both teacher and pupil and not the rabid abuse to which so-called reformers so often resort. I started to sleep outdoors in May, 1909. and have slept out every night since that date, and would not go back to sleeping indoors any more for the following reasons and experiences: Benefits of Calm Sleep in Pure Air By W. A. JOHNSON Chicago First, one gets a more refreshing sleep in cool, pure air than can be had in an ill-ventilated and heated room. In fact, the pure, cool air is so soothing to the tired person that one falls to sleep nearly at once. But of course one must be well covered up about the body to protect from cold, leaving only the face exposed. Second, I am less predisposed to colds and the many ailments which come from colds. The results in my own case have been better health than I had enjoyed for years. I have gained in appetite and in weight, 16 pounds. I will not go back to sleeping indoors again, and I know that there are hundreds sleeping outdoors right here in Chicago, on back porches, verandas, roofs and also in tents in back yards. In fact a physician showed me the pictures of about 100 of his patients' outdoor beds. S&H CARMENT STORE 925-16TH ST. OPP.

WEST NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS Second Coxey Army Threatens Capital Midshipmen May Early Become Ensigns Uncle Sam Fights to Save the Salmon ON TO WASHINGTON HEP! HEP WASHINGTON.—An army of unemployed men propose to soon swoop down on this city following in the footsteps of Coxey's famous army. James Eads How of St. Louis, friend of the proletariat and protector of the wandering tramp, will head this great movement that is to overflow Maryland, sweep into the District of Columbia and spend its force against the walls of the national capitol and the great buildings of state along the Washington thoroughfares. It will be the first march of protest since the utter failure of the Coxey movement back in the '90s. Somewhere between 250,000 and 500,000 of workless workers are expected to join in the march of the discontented. The campaign to gather them up is already under way. The first plans for the great march were made last spring at the Hobo convention in Milwaukee. These have since been perfected and it is hoped now that half a million from the party of discontent will join the protesting column in its march upon the capital city. James Eads How, the St. Louis F congress acts favorably on a recommendation made by the board of visitors to the United States Naval academy and Indorsed by the secretary of the navy, a young man who has completed the course at the academy will be commissioned an ensign on graduation. Under the present law a graduate does not get his commission as an ensign until he has completed the two years' cruise at sea. This law, it is asserted, discriminates against the graduates of the Naval academy. A graduate from the Military academy at West Point gets his commission as a second lieutenant on the day of graduation, and a salary, which a graduate of the Naval academy cannot obtain until he has taken his two years' cruise. Midshipmen receive $600 a year while at the Naval academy, under the new pay table, and during the two years they spend at sea they receive $1,400 annually. Not until they have passed their final graduation—that is to say, not until they have completed their two years' cruise—can they get the $1,700 which is paid to graduates from West Point to become second lieutenants and rank with ensigns. The board of visitors to the academy has been urged to favor another IN the interest of Alaskan salmon the extermination of the fresh-water sculptin, called also "miller's thumb," "bullhead," or "blob," is urgently demanded. It is a worthless fish, with a tendency to feed on salmon fry and salmon eggs, and has a voracious appetite and wonderful digestive apparatus. Barton A. Bean and Alfred C. Weed of the division of fishes, United States National museum, recently have investigated the "blob" and find that it is extremely destructive to salmon eggs. These fish have no trouble gathering in the fry, two or three inches long, and occasionally manage to corner some larger ones. Fourteen blobs were found to have made way with 39 salmon and 46 eggs, an average of almost three salmon and a little over three eggs for each fish.

To further satisfy himself of the efficacy of this feature of preparing meals, he has set aside, through the war department, $5,000 for the construction and testing of the equipment of the mobile kitchen, which is the invention of Capt. Fraderick Stopford, of the coast artillery corps, post commissary at the Presidio of San Francisco. This rolling field kitchen is designed to feed men in the field on the march. And it is owing to the good service it has given, and which elicited praise from the officers in command, that the device is so highly thought of by Uncle Sam. The vehicle is equipped with a sufficient number of air-tight compartments to prepare the rations for two companies of infantry or troops of cavalry, the outfit being arranged to mount on any sort of wagon or truck These fireless compartments consist millionaire worker in the realms of trampdom, the man who laid aside the dress shirt for the blue flannel of the worker, is the moving spirit in this movement. He has been in the valley towns along the Ohio for weeks pushing the propaganda of this latter-day crusade that is expected to shake the walls of indifference and make it possible for every man who wants it to have a job. Coxey was the leader of the first of the great marches of protest. His men marched so far that the spirit of the column was gone long before it came within striking distance of Washington. It was a failure. The army dwindled away, and but a handful of those that started on the movement stuck until the end. How and his lieutenants are studying the history of this march and hope to profit by the mistakes of Coxey and his alds. How hopes to make this march a crusade against things as they are. Such an army as he leads How believes will show the nation the need of some action. Men have promised to join him from every part of the country. Already the hobo tribes have received the call and are being notified to concentrate in the valley in easy distance of the actual starting place, which is to be settled upon later. Ar rangements have been made whereby the cohorts from the west will start earlier than those from the Ohio valley. HURRY NOW WE CAN GET MARRIED I'M AN ENSIGN NOW change in the regulations of the school, but it has not yet consented to do so. This change, if granted, would raise the bar which now prevents a midshipman from marrying until he has completed his two years' cruise, or in other words, has obtained his commission as ensign. The prohibition against marrying until final graduation is based on the assumption that the midshipman is not receiving salary enough to enable him to support a wife. The plea is made that this regulation discriminates against the midshipmen. There is no bar to a graduate or West Point marrying as soon as he receives his commission as second lieutenant. The board of visitors to the Naval academy hopes to be able to persuade President Taft to recommend in his December message to congress that midshipmen be made ensigns on the day of graduation. ticular about holding to the average, as some of them had exceeded it materially, nor did they bear out the theory well known to every fisherman that the bait is first turned by the fish and swallowed head foremost. The blobs, it seems, eat them both ways. The destructive average of the blob is estimated at six salmon a day, which is maintained for about sixty days a year. This would make the destructive capacity of one fish total 360 salmon annually, to say nothing of the little trout gathered in and sometimes little blobs. The latter kind of feeding, however, meets with the approval of the fish experts. Blobs in general are bottom fish and prefer to remain hidden under stones, etc. It is just in similar places that young salmon and trout hide at certain hours of the day, usually when the sun is hottest. It is then that the blobs can get them with the least difficulty. For this reason, it is believed, the stomach contents of each of the blobs examined represented one day's feeding and that under proper conditions (when the salmon eggs or young salmon are available) the same amount would be eaten each day. NOTHIN' LIKE BEING UP-TO-DATE FIRELESS U.S. ARMY COOKER of a large improved field range with hot water attachments, a large tank for carrying hot water, and compartments for meat and utensils. About three hundred men, or a squadron of cavalry or a battalion of infantry, can be provided for by this kitchen, the manner of preparation being to arrange meals for two companies by first bringing to bolling on the range, and then putting the food into the asbestos-lined compartments on the rear of the platform. The rations for two more organizations are next cooked on the range until done, and instead of 20 men, as is usual in company cooking, nine do the work with the fireless.

OSU U UCC U COCO C OOOO ener HOME-MADE CLOTHES TRUNK| PACKING THE PICNIC One Girt Provides Herself With Serv-| No Matter How Simple t Iceable Substitute for More Ex- Should Be Well Prepz pensive Manufactured One. _ Appetizing. Every girl who has seen a ward- robe trunk instantly appreciates the advantage of having one of them, but ag such pleces of luggage are so ex- pensive as to be beyond the reach of most of their admirers the best course is to try to provide a substi- tute with the ald of an ordinary trunk and the exercise of some in- genulty. 5 One girl partially solved this dim- culty by having the tray of her square trunk cut in half and one section of it nailed permanently in position aft- er dividing {t into compartments for Ingerle and shoes. The space below the tray was then equipped with three hat holders tacked against the sides of the trunk, and into the ad- joining floor space was fitted a large flat box with a hasp fastening, which was divided to hold handkerchiefs, gloves, vells and neckwear. ‘The half of the trunk lid which did ‘not collide with the remaining por- ‘tion of the divided tray was then ‘equipped with hooks for a dozen gar- ‘ment hangers and made a satisfac- tory wardrobe for gowns and frocks of thin or medium weight textures, as they did not crowd one another unduly. Patnue tn ater. In spite of advice to the contrary, blondes should avoid the lighter shades of blue, which make their com plexions seem ashen. The darker shades, however, throw the complex: fon in high relief and are vastly be- coming. ‘True brunettes should not wear blue, which makes the skin yellower than aver, but florid brunettes can do so. Blondes may wear green, but not bru- nettes. Pale brunettes may wear any shade of red but crimson, which, how- ecer, looks well on the blonde. Yellow is the best color for pale brunettes, especially for evening wear. It clears the complexion and sets off the dark eyes and hair wonderfully. Extravagant Rules. ‘There 1s no doubt about the extray- agance that rules the world of dress today. Never have frocks been made of such perishable fabrics, and never have trimmings been more elaborate or more beautiful than they are this season. Colors also are very vivid, bright scarlet, bright green, royal blue, and all manner of brilliant shades be- ing used on all occasions, while more than half the frocks worn at afternoon parties and receptions are far more suitable for evening tollettes than tor day wear. ‘The Placa’ Maa!

During the spring and summer months the call of the woods, the de- sire to feel the soft earth under foot. to watch the miracles of nature and hear the first song birds, are so irre- sistible, that one must needs go in quest of such Joys. One seeks some congenial spirits to help enjoy it to the utmost. ‘A day in the woods means that the lunch basket must be packed and planned beforehand. And, ob, the bor- ror of a cold lunch that is not dainty and neatly put together! No matter how simple the food, {t must be well prepared and appetizing. ‘The sand- wiches should have the bread cut thin, the different kinds being wrap- ped separately in olled paper to keep them moist.

Washington. — Attorney General Wickersham has about compleced his inqulry into the Nationat City Com- pany, the corporation recently formed by the directors of the National City bank of New York to hold bank stocks. It is understood he will send a re- port to Secretary MacVeagh saying whether the transgression of the na- tional bank law is involved. Upon Secretary MacVeagh’s action will largely depend the future attitude of the government toward concentra- tion of the banking capita of large cities through the medium of so-called “security companies.” ‘The question in the case of the Na- tional City Company 1s said to be sub- stantially paralleled in other . cities and it is said the Department of Jus- tice has taken cognizance of the First Trust Company, reported to be the “security company” of the First National bank of Chicago, and the first Security Company, said to have been created by the First National vank of New York, Records in the office of the comp troller of the company are said to show the existence of nearly 300 simi: lar corporations throughout the coun try, of which the Department of Jus- tice did not know when ft began ite inquiry in the National City Com pany. It is hinted in the treasury that Mr. Wickersham’s report will be unfay orable to the security company idea unless there is a bona fide disassocia- tion of the banks and the companies, Secretary MacVeagh’s action upon the attorney general’s report — will hinge upon whether he believes the National City Company to be @ bona fide corporation, disassociated from the National City bank or merely 3 device of that institution to hold stocks in other national banks. Gov ernment agents who inquired into the National City Company reported tha it appeared to be closely linked witt the National City bank, and that onl stockholders in the National City bank could be stockholders in the company ‘The company issued no shares o! stock, but indorsed ownership upor the certificates of the bank. Less than a week ago government officers learned that the organizatior of the National City Company hac been completed and that the bank shares and other stocks which it wa: formed to hold had been transferre! to it. It was said that those transfer: included the shares of stock which dt rectors of the National City bank hav been holding in other institutions ir New York and other cities, which con stituted what is popularly referred t as “National City bank control.” ‘The directors of the National City bank had been holding the stocks ir their own names, but It was generally reported in banking circles that thes held them for their bank. It had been represented to the gov ernment that the First Security Com pany of New York in the same wa} holds bank stocks for the First Na tional bank, and that the First Trust Company of Chicago does the same service for the First National bani there.

This body will have a great aggregation of educator's, lawyers, physicians, farmers, preachers, bankers and business men and women of every kind. They have been invited to meet in Denver and are coming with the expectation of a royal reception by all the citizens, white and colored. This is the first time that a gathering of so many men and women of a national reputation belonging to our people have come to our city. And of course it goes without saying that we ought to put forth every effort to make their stay in our city a pleasant and profitable one. This cannot be done unless every one will take it upon himself to help in the entertainment of these visitors. The reputation of the colored citizens of Denver is at stake, and the manner with which we take care of them will reflect upon us great credit or discredit. We should make every sacrifice to see to it that the delegates shall be provided with abundant and sufficient accommodations. For fear some may have the idea that this is a gathering in which the delegates are expecting free accommodations we wish to say with all the emphasis possible that the members of the Congress are paying for their rooms and board. We have on our list a great many rooms, but we are still short of as many as we need, and we now urge everybody who has a spare room or bed to notify us so that we can readily and without extra trouble assign the delegates to their quarters as soon as they reach the city. Do not wait till the delegates are here to list your rooms, but do so at once. Come to 1014 19th street, or call up Main 1070 and give us your address, rooms and terms. J. W. JACKSON, Chairman. ED FOUNTAIN, Secretary. REV. W. C. WILLIAMS, Treas. Local Committee. A RECORD BREAKER.

Macon county, Alabama, has a good record, so far as the relations between the Negroes and whites are concerned. There are about twenty-three thouswhites in this county, but the relations are most friendly. No lynching has occurred in this county for thirty-five years. I am in position to sell homes in this county to good, thrifty farmers who want to live close to good schools and educate their children. Keep in mind that this is the county in which the famous Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute is located. Persons interested should come and see or write. SCOTT M. E. CHURCH.

The pastor of Scott's was the fortunate minister who won the suit of clothes for the highest number of tickets sold—over eighty. The Ladies' Aid Society served delightful refreshments. The Pigeon was injured which was a violation of the rules of the contest and therefore could not be awarded to the successful party. Sunday morning the Rev. Dr. R. A. Randolph will preach and Sunday evening the Rev. J. D Rice will fill the pulpit the pastor left for St. Louis Friday to attend the Educational and Missionary convention which convenes in that city Wednesday, August 9th.

They are beginning to pay up their subscriptions on the rally for August 27th . The members are requested to hand in their money now or as soon as possible, the same will be credited on the rally. Prespective bidders are requested to send in their bids immediately. The church will be roofed after the rally. Mr. Geo. E. Townsley and Mrs. Mary Ford have paid in five dollars on their subscriptions. Who will be the next? Master Wendell Wallace was on the sick list last week He had an attack of tonsolitis. Recent additions to the church are: L. H. Lightener, Dallas, Texas.; Mrs. J. D. Williams, Little Rock, Ark.; Mrs. Lucy Coleman, Marshall, Texas; Mrs. Anna B. Dawson, Independence, Kansas. We wish to thank the pastor, the Rev. A. E. Edwards and his loyal membership for selling the next highest number of tickets for the Live Pigeon contest. They sold forty tickets. We thankall who sold tickets for this entertainment and say to them they have but command us and we are ready to help them in any future effort for their church.
